[0030] In addition, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other. In the description of the present invention, the axis direction is consistent with the height direction.

[0031] See Figure 1The cleaning tool of a preferred embodiment of the present invention can be used in household cleaning scenarios, or in environments with high environmental requirements such as laboratories and offices. The present invention does not limit the application scenario of the cleaning tool. The multi-functional power tool can be a mop or other type, which is not specifically limited here and depends on the actual situation.

[0032] Please combine Figure 2 and Figure 3 Taking a mopping machine as an example, the mopping machine includes a body 1, a drive mechanism 2 connected to the body 1, a cleaning mechanism 3 driven by the drive mechanism 2 and used to clean a target object, and a water spray mechanism 4 connected to an external water source and removably mounted on the body 1. The cleaning mechanism 3 includes at least two brush assemblies removably connected to the body 1. In this embodiment, the cleaning mechanism 3 includes two brush assemblies. Of course, in other embodiments, the cleaning mechanism 3 may include more types of brush assemblies, depending on the actual situation, and is not specifically limited here. The two brush assemblies include a roller brush 32 for cleaning large target areas and a crevice brush 33 for cleaning target gaps. The drive mechanism is coupled to either of the two brush assemblies to achieve the corresponding function. Specifically, when the roller brush 32 is connected to the driving mechanism 2, the external water source can flow to the roller brush 32 through the water spraying mechanism 4, that is, the water spraying mechanism 4 is opened when the roller brush 32 is working to cooperate with the roller brush 32 to perform cleaning work; when the seam brush 33 is connected to the driving mechanism 2, the flow path between the external water source and the seam brush 33 is disconnected, that is, the water spraying mechanism 4 is closed when the seam brush 33 is working to prevent water stains from splashing onto the wall or other locations, reducing the user experience.

[0033] The mopping machine can be self-propelled, handheld, or of other configurations. If the mopping machine is self-propelled, the body 1 is further provided with a control mechanism for controlling the drive mechanism 2. If the mopping machine 100 is handheld, it also includes a handle 7 connected to the body 1 for gripping. In this embodiment, the mopping machine is handheld. As described above, the mopping machine also includes a handle 7 and a connecting rod 8 connecting the handle 7 to the body 1. The end of the handle 7 is provided with a grip portion 71 for convenient user gripping. When using the mopping machine, the user simply grasps the grip portion 71 to drive the mopping machine, which is convenient and quick.

[0034] As mentioned above, since the two brush body assemblies 31 are detachably installed with the body 1, in order to cooperate with the reasonable disassembly and assembly of the two brush body mechanisms, a docking position for connecting with the two brush body assemblies 31 is provided on one side of the body 1, and at least part of the driving mechanism 2 protrudes out of the body 1 to connect with the two brush body assemblies 31. The driving mechanism 2 includes a vertically arranged motor 21, a bevel gear assembly 23 for converting the vertical rotation of the motor 21 into horizontal motion, and a reduction gear 22 connected to the bevel gear assembly 23. The motor 21 has a motor shaft, and the bevel gear assembly 23 is connected to the motor shaft. Among them, the bevel gear is a conventional structure and will not be described in detail here. The reduction gear 22 has an output shaft 221, which is docked with the two brush body assemblies 31. Therefore, the output shaft 221 is provided with a quick-release part 222 for quick disassembly and assembly with the two brush body assemblies 31. The quick-release member 222 may include a protrusion disposed on the output shaft 221. Accordingly, at least two brush mechanisms may be provided with grooves that engage with the protrusions for secure connection. The protrusions and grooves cooperate to facilitate quick and convenient assembly and disassembly of the at least two brush mechanisms from the output shaft 221. Of course, the quick-release member 222 may also have other structures, as long as they achieve the desired effect of quickly assembling and disassembling the brush mechanisms from the output shaft 221. This is not specifically limited here and will be determined based on actual circumstances.

[0035] The roller brush 32 is mounted on the bottom of the body 1 so as to roll along the target object under the action of the user and thereby clean the target object. In order to improve the cleaning efficiency of the roller brush 32, the roller brush 32 is also provided with bristles 321. The bristles 321 can be detachably connected to the roller brush 32 or integrated with the roller brush 32. This is not specifically limited here and depends on the actual situation. As mentioned above, because the water spray mechanism 4 is turned on when the roller brush 32 is working, the cleaning mechanism 3 also includes a protective cover 34 connected to the roller brush 32 and arranged on the outside of the roller brush 32. The protective cover 34 is used to prevent the roller brush 32 from causing water stains to splash onto the human body or other parts due to the rotation of the bristles 321 during the cleaning process, which may bring a poor user experience. The roller brush 32 is detachably connected to the body 1 through the protective cover 34. Therefore, an anti-slip structure is also provided between the protective cover 34 and the body 1 to prevent the roller brush 32 from falling off the body 1 during operation. The anti-slip mechanism can be a hook or a slot or other structure, and it only needs to achieve the effect of tightly connecting the protective cover 34 to the body 1. No specific limitation is made here, and it depends on the actual situation.

[0036] Because the roller brush 32 is mounted on the bottom of the machine body 1, the mopping machine also includes a transmission mechanism 5 for connecting the roller brush 32 and the drive mechanism 2. The transmission mechanism 5 is disposed on one side of the running wheel 6 assembly and is connected to the protective cover 34. Specifically, the transmission mechanism 5 includes a transmission housing 51 connected to the protective cover 34, and a belt drive assembly 52 disposed within the transmission housing 51. The protective cover 34 and the transmission housing 51 can be fastened together by fasteners, etc., which are not specifically limited here and depend on actual conditions. In this embodiment, the transmission housing 51 is located on one side of the protective cover 34, while the other side of the roller brush 32 is not provided with a housing. Therefore, during operation, the roller brush 32 not only functions as a roller brush 32, but also functions as a side brush, allowing it to clean blind spots such as corners. This dual purpose of one brush further improves work efficiency.

[0037] The belt drive assembly 52 includes a first tensioning wheel 521 connected to the output shaft 221, a second tensioning wheel 522 connected to the travel wheel 6, and a belt 523 tensioned on the first tensioning wheel 521 and the second tensioning wheel 522. The driving mechanism 2 drives the first tensioning wheel 521 to rotate, and then drives the second tensioning wheel 522 to rotate, thereby driving the travel wheel 6 to rotate to clean the target object.

[0038] The seam brush 33 directly docks with the output shaft 221 for installation at the docking location, i.e., on one side of the machine body 1. To maintain the mopping machine's balance during operation, the mopping machine also includes running wheels 6 that are detachably connected to the machine body 1. When the seam brush 33 is connected to the machine body 1, the running wheels 6 and the seam brush 33 are positioned on either side of the machine body 1. The running wheels 6 cooperate with the seam brush 33 to maintain the balance of the mopping machine's roller brush 32. The running wheels 6 can be coaxial with the seam brush 33 or independently, and the choice is not specifically limited here and depends on the actual situation.

[0039] Please combine Figure 4 and Figure 5 As described above, because the water spray mechanism 4 opens when the roller brush 32 is operating to spray water toward the target, it is located above the cleaning mechanism 3 in the height direction of the mopping machine. This arrangement allows the water spray mechanism 4 to spray water directly toward the target without affecting the operation of the roller brush 32. Of course, in other embodiments, the water spray mechanism 4 can be located elsewhere on the machine body 1 as long as the above-mentioned effects are achieved. This is not a specific limitation and will be determined based on actual circumstances.

[0040] The water spray mechanism 4 includes a docking shell 41 that is detachably mounted on the machine body, a water spray port 42 provided on the docking shell 41, a water pipe 43 that is docked with an external water source, and a valve body 44 disposed in the docking shell 41 and connecting the water spray port 42 and the water pipe 43. The valve body 44 has a valve button 45 for opening or closing the valve body 44 so that the water spray port 42 and the water pipe 43 are connected or disconnected. The water spray port 42 is disposed downward to directly spray water onto the target object. The number of water spray ports 42 is determined according to actual needs and is not specifically limited here. The water pipe 43 is extended upward along the longitudinal direction of the connecting rod 8. In order to prevent the water pipe 43 from falling off and to facilitate the use of the mopping machine, the water pipe 43 is connected to the connecting rod 8 by means of a rope or the like.

[0041] To facilitate closing the valve body 44 via the valve button 45, an opening is provided in the docking housing 41, with at least a portion of the valve button 45 protruding from the opening. In this embodiment, the valve body 44 is a ball valve. Of course, in other embodiments, the valve body 44 may be other types, which are not specifically limited here and may be determined based on actual circumstances.

[0042] A first seal 46 is provided at the water outlet 42. When the valve button 45 closes the valve body 44, the first seal 46 prevents water from escaping from the water outlet 42, providing a better user experience. A second seal (not shown) is also provided between the valve body 44 and the docking housing 41 to prevent water from overflowing the docking housing 41. Both the first seal 46 and the second seal may be made of rubber or other materials, without specific limitation, as long as they achieve the aforementioned effect.

[0043] To sum up: the cleaning mechanism 3 includes at least two brush body assemblies 31, and any one of the at least two brush body assemblies 31 is docked with the driving mechanism 2 to realize the corresponding function, reducing the number and cost of brushes purchased by users; by providing a water spraying mechanism 4, the user can use the roller brush 32 while spraying water and cleaning at the same time, thereby improving cleaning efficiency and user experience; and the water spraying mechanism 4 can be manually opened and closed according to the different brush bodies, which is convenient and quick.

[0044] The technical features of the above-mentioned embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. In order to make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-mentioned embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0045] The above-described embodiments merely illustrate several implementations of the present invention, and while their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent. It should be noted that a person skilled in the art would be able to make numerous variations and improvements without departing from the spirit of the present invention, all of which fall within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the patent for this invention shall be determined by the appended claims.
