[0122] In some embodiments, the first driving member 410 includes but is not limited to a driving motor.

[0123] Specifically, the gear 420 is coaxially fixed to the output shaft of the first driving member 410 by means of bolts, welding, or riveting.

[0124] Specifically, the rack 430 is an arc-shaped structure, and the rack 430 is installed in the arc-shaped groove. It should be noted that the curvature of the rack 430 is between 100 degrees and 180 degrees; preferably, the curvature of the rack 430 is 100 degrees.

[0125] Furthermore, the storage unit 400 further includes a first position-limiting member 440 , wherein the first position-limiting member 440 is disposed at the second end of the rack 430 to prevent the rack 430 from being separated from the gear 420 .

[0126] Specifically, the first limiting member 440 is fixed to the rack 430 by welding, bolts, riveting or integral molding, and the length of the first limiting member 440 is equal to the radius of the gear 420 .

[0127] In some embodiments, the first limiting member 440 includes but is not limited to a limiting block.

[0128] In actual use, when the first brushing unit 600 is required to wipe the glass of the first window sash 210 or the second window sash 220, the first driving member 410 drives the gear 420 to rotate clockwise, thereby driving the rack 430 to slide in the arc groove, so that the first brushing unit 600 abuts against the glass of the first window sash 210 or the second window sash 220, and wipes the first window sash 210 or the second window sash 220 through the lifting unit 500.

[0129] After wiping is completed, the first brush unit 600 is first reset by the lifting unit 500. Then, the first driving member 410 drives the gear 420 to rotate counterclockwise, thereby driving the rack 430 to slide in the arc groove, so that the first brush unit 600 is separated from the glass of the first window sash 210 or the second window sash 220 and placed in the storage chamber 111.

[0130] like Figure 9 and Figure 10As shown, the lifting unit 500 includes a sliding member 510, a screw rod 520, and a second driving member 530. The sliding member 510 is slidably mounted on the side of the window frame unit 100; the screw rod 520 passes through the sliding member 510 and is threadedly connected to the sliding member 510, and the first end of the screw rod 520 is rotatably connected to any side wall of the window frame unit 100; the second driving member 530 is installed on the side of the window frame unit 100 and is connected to the control unit 800, and the output shaft of the second driving member 530 is coaxially fixed to the second end of the screw rod 520.

[0131] Specifically, the sliding member 510 has a square block structure and is embedded in the third chute 150 and reciprocates along the length of the third chute 150. It should be noted that the outer surfaces of the sliding member 510 abut against the inner wall of the third chute 150, which not only allows the sliding member 510 to move along the length of the third chute 150 but also restricts the sliding member 510 (i.e., prevents the sliding member 510 from rotating).

[0132] In some embodiments, the sliding member 510 includes but is not limited to a slider.

[0133] In some embodiments, the first end of the screw rod 520 is rotatably connected to the bottom wall of the third sliding groove 150 , and the second end of the screw rod 520 is coaxially fixed to the output shaft of the second driving member 530 .

[0134] It should be noted that a threaded hole is provided at the central axis of the sliding member 510 , and the screw rod 520 is connected to the sliding member 510 through the bolt hole, so that the rotation of the screw rod 520 drives the sliding member 510 to move back and forth.

[0135] Specifically, the second driving member 530 is connected to the top wall of the third sliding groove 150 by welding, bolts or riveting, and the output bearing of the second driving member 530 is vertically arranged.

[0136] In some embodiments, the second driving member 530 includes but is not limited to a driving motor.

[0137] In actual operation, the second driving member 530 drives the screw rod 520 to rotate, so that the screw rod 520 drives the sliding member 510 to rise and fall back and forth in the third sliding groove 150, and then the first brushing unit 600 to rise and fall back and forth, so as to realize the first brushing unit 600 wiping the glass of the first window sash 210 or the second window sash 220.

[0138] Furthermore, the lifting unit 500 further includes a second position-limiting member 540 , which is disposed on the side of the window frame unit 100 and corresponds to the bottom of the window sash unit 200 , and is used to limit the sliding range of the sliding member 510 .

[0139] Specifically, the second limit member 540 is connected to the inner wall of the third slide groove 150 by welding, riveting or bolting, and the position of the second limit member 540 in the third slide groove 150 corresponds to the bottom of the glass on the first window sash 210 or the second window sash 220; the second limit member 540 can limit the movement range of the sliding member 510, thereby avoiding the first brushing unit 600 from colliding with the windowsill of the window frame unit 100 due to the first brushing unit 600 descending too far, and plays a certain protective role for the first brushing unit 600.

[0140] In some embodiments, the second limiting member 540 includes but is not limited to a limiting block.

[0141] like Figure 11 As shown, the first brushing unit 600 includes a first scraper 610 and a distance sensor 620. The first scraper 610 is connected to the storage unit 400 and is used to wipe the outer wall of the window sash unit 200. The distance sensor 620 is provided on the first scraper 610 and is connected to the control device. It is used to detect the distance between the first scraper 610 and the window sash unit 200 and generate distance information. The distance sensor 620 transmits the distance information to the control device.

[0142] Specifically, any one end of the first scraper 610 in the length direction is connected to the first end of the rack 430 by riveting or bolting, and the first scraper 610 is arranged horizontally.

[0143] In some embodiments, the first scraper 610 includes but is not limited to a glass scraper.

[0144] Specifically, the distance sensor 620 is connected to the first scraper 610 by bonding, bolting, or the like, and is also in communication with the control unit 800. The control unit 800 can control the storage unit 400 based on the distance between the first scraper 610 and the first window sash 210 or the second window sash 220, as detected by the distance sensor 620, so that the first scraper 610 abuts against the first window sash 210 or the second window sash 220.

[0145] It should be noted that since the first window sash 210 and the second window sash 220 are installed at different positions on the window frame unit 100, the distances between the first scraper 610 and the first window sash 210 and the second window sash 220 are different. Therefore, the first scraper 610 can be automatically adjusted through the distance sensor 620 and the control unit 800, thereby improving work efficiency and the degree of automation.

[0146] In some embodiments, the distance sensing element 620 includes but is not limited to a distance measuring sensor.

[0147] like Figure 12 、 Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, the second brushing unit 700 includes a second scraper 710 and a drain pipe 720.

[0149] It should be noted that an avoidance groove 141 is provided at the connection between the guide rail 140 and the bottom wall of the second chute 130 , and the length of the avoidance groove 141 corresponds to the length of the second chute 130 , thereby facilitating the reciprocating movement of the second scraper 710 in the second chute 130 .

[0150] In some embodiments, the second scraper 710 includes but is not limited to a plastic plate, a rubber strip, etc.

[0151] Specifically, the first end of the drain pipe 720 is connected to the drain hole 131 in the second chute 130 , and the second end of the drain pipe 720 extends to the outdoors for draining rainwater or sewage in the second chute 130 .

[0152] It should be noted that the drain pipe 720 can be stored within the window frame 110. A second through hole 113 is formed on the side of the window frame 110 facing the outside, and the drain pipe 720 can extend through the second through hole 113 to the outside of the window frame 110. When it is necessary to rinse the glass of the first window sash 210 and the second window sash 220, the drain pipe 720 can be pulled out to recycle the wastewater. When not in use, the drain pipe 720 can be directed outdoors to drain the accumulated water in the second chute 130 on rainy days.

[0153] In some embodiments, the drain tube 720 includes, but is not limited to, a PVP tube.

[0154] More specifically, the length of the drain pipe 720 is between 10 cm and 30 cm. It should be noted that the length of the drain pipe 720 can be adaptively adjusted according to actual use requirements and is not subject to excessive restrictions.

[0155] Preferably, the length of the drain pipe 720 is 20 cm.

[0156] Furthermore, the second end of the drain pipe 720 is connected to a second ear plate 721. A second plug post 722 is formed on the second ear plate 721. The window frame 110 also has a second plug hole around the second through hole 113. The second plug post 722 engages the second plug hole to connect the second end of the drain pipe 720 to the second through hole 113 of the window frame 110, thereby securing the second end of the drain pipe 720.

[0157] When the flushing unit 300 flushes the window sash unit 200, the second plug-in column 722 can be detached from the second plug-in hole, and the drain pipe 720 can be pulled out from the window frame 110; after use, the second plug-in column 722 can be inserted into the second plug-in hole, which not only fixes the second end of the drain pipe 720, but also facilitates extraction for the next use.

[0158] like Figure 15 and Figure 16 As shown, the control unit 800 includes a communication sensor 810 and a controller 820.
