[0049] The objectives, features, and advantages of this document will be further explained in conjunction with the embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. Detailed Implementation
[0050] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this document clearer, the embodiments described below will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described herein can be combined arbitrarily.
[0051] Existing cleaning devices can generally clean both the inner and outer walls of a container simultaneously. However, in some cases, stains are only present on the inner or outer walls of the container, and cleaning both walls at the same time can easily lead to a waste of cleaning fluid.
[0052] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this embodiment provides a cleaning device that can be installed in various environments such as companies, schools, homes, and factories to clean containers, thereby improving people's quality of life and health.
[0053] Please combine them together Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 , Figure 8 , Figure 14 , Figure 17 and Figure 18 The cleaning device provided in this embodiment will now be described. The cleaning device includes a liquid supply mechanism 10, a first cleaning mechanism 20, and a second cleaning mechanism 30. The liquid supply mechanism 10 is provided with a liquid supply channel 100, which is configured to provide space for the flow of cleaning fluid. The cleaning fluid includes, but is not limited to, water or an aqueous solution containing cleaning components. The liquid supply mechanism 10 can be installed on a sink countertop. The liquid supply mechanism 10 passes through the sink countertop and engages with a threaded component 40 to clamp the sink countertop, achieving a detachable connection with the sink countertop.
[0054] The first cleaning mechanism 20 has a first nozzle 200. The first nozzle 200 is configured to spray cleaning fluid toward the inner wall 01 of the container 0. The first cleaning mechanism 20 is disposed on either the liquid supply mechanism 10 or the second cleaning mechanism 30. The second cleaning mechanism 30 is movably disposed on the liquid supply mechanism 10. The second cleaning mechanism 30 has a second nozzle 300, which is configured to spray cleaning fluid toward the outer wall 02 of the container 0.
[0055] The second cleaning mechanism 30 is movable relative to the liquid supply mechanism 10, so that at least one of the first nozzle 200 and the second nozzle 300 is connected to the liquid supply channel 100, or disconnected from the liquid supply channel 100. The movement of the second cleaning mechanism 30 relative to the liquid supply mechanism 10 includes, but is not limited to, linear motion, curvilinear motion, or rotational motion. For ease of description, rotational motion is used as an example of the movement of the second cleaning mechanism 30 relative to the liquid supply mechanism 10 in the following explanation.
[0056] In summary, implementing the embodiments described herein will have the following beneficial effects: The cleaning device of the above-described scheme includes a liquid supply mechanism 10 with a liquid supply channel 100, a first cleaning mechanism 20 with a first nozzle 200, and a second cleaning mechanism 30 with a second nozzle 300. The second cleaning mechanism 30 is movable relative to the liquid supply mechanism 10, so that at least one of the first nozzle 200 and the second nozzle 300 is connected to the liquid supply channel 100, or disconnected from the liquid supply channel 100. Thus, by moving the second cleaning mechanism 30 relative to the liquid supply mechanism 10, the connection state between the liquid supply channel 100 and the first nozzle 200 and the second nozzle 300 can be changed. This allows for switching between cleaning modes such as inner wall cleaning, outer wall cleaning, simultaneous inner and outer wall cleaning, and stopped cleaning, according to specific cleaning needs. This facilitates user switching between cleaning modes and reduces waste of cleaning fluid.
[0057] In one embodiment, please combine Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figures 9 to 14 The second cleaning mechanism 30 has a first flow channel 400a and a second flow channel 400b. The first cleaning mechanism 20 has at least a first position on its movement path relative to the liquid supply mechanism 10. In the first position, the second cleaning mechanism 30 seals the liquid supply channel 100, thereby disconnecting the first nozzle 200 and the second nozzle 300 from the liquid supply channel 100. By driving the liquid supply mechanism 10 to the first position, the second cleaning mechanism 30 can seal the liquid supply channel 100, preventing the cleaning fluid from entering the first nozzle 200 and the second nozzle 300 through the liquid supply channel 100. This puts the cleaning device in a stopped cleaning mode, allowing the container 0 to be conveniently placed within the cleaning range of the cleaning device before cleaning and removed from the cleaning range after cleaning, avoiding splashing of the cleaning fluid without the container 0 as a stop during the process.
[0058] The movement path also includes a second position and a third position. In the second position, the first flow channel 400a connects the first nozzle 200 to the liquid supply channel 100. By driving the liquid supply mechanism 10 to move to the second position, the first flow channel 400a connects the first nozzle 200 to the liquid supply channel 100, allowing the cleaning fluid to sequentially pass through the liquid supply channel 100, the first flow channel 400a, and be sprayed from the first nozzle 200 onto the inner wall 01 of the container 0. This puts the cleaning device in an inner wall cleaning mode, facilitating cleaning only the inner wall 01 of the container 0. In the third position, the second flow channel 400b connects the second nozzle 300 to the liquid supply channel 100. By driving the liquid supply mechanism 10 to move to the third position, the second flow channel 400b can connect the second nozzle 300 with the liquid supply flow channel 100. The cleaning fluid can sequentially pass through the liquid supply flow channel 100 and the second flow channel 400b, and be sprayed from the second nozzle 300 onto the outer wall 02 of the container 0. This puts the cleaning device in the outer wall cleaning mode, allowing the cleaning device to clean only the outer wall 02 of the container 0. The user can drive the second cleaning mechanism 30 relative to the liquid supply mechanism 10 to switch to different cleaning modes as needed.
[0059] This can be understood as meaning that in other embodiments, the motion path also has a fourth position. The motion path has a first position, a second position, a third position, and a fourth position. Alternatively, the motion path has a first position and a fourth position, but does not have the second and third positions mentioned above.
[0060] In the fourth position, the first flow channel 400a connects the first nozzle 200 to the liquid supply flow channel 100, and the second flow channel 400b connects the second nozzle 300 to the liquid supply flow channel 100. By driving the liquid supply mechanism 10 to the fourth position, the first flow channel 400a connects the first nozzle 200 to the liquid supply flow channel 100, and the second flow channel 400b connects the second nozzle 300 to the liquid supply flow channel 100. The cleaning fluid can then enter the first flow channel 400a and the second flow channel 400b through the liquid supply flow channel 100, and be sprayed from the first nozzle 200 and the second nozzle 300 onto the inner wall 01 and outer wall 02 of the container 0. This puts the cleaning device in an inner and outer wall cleaning mode, allowing for simultaneous cleaning of both the inner and outer walls of the container 0. When both the inner and outer walls of the container 0 are soiled, switching to the inner and outer wall cleaning mode saves time and improves cleaning efficiency.
[0061] In one embodiment, please combine Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 9 , Figure 10 , Figure 12 , Figure 13 and Figure 15 The liquid supply mechanism 10 includes a base 11 and a sealing assembly 12. A liquid supply channel 100 is disposed on the base 11. The second cleaning mechanism 30 is movable relative to the base 11. The sealing assembly 12 is disposed on the base 11 and is slidably and sealingly connected to the second cleaning mechanism 30. Thus, when the second cleaning mechanism 30 moves relative to the base 11, the sealing assembly 12 can slide relative to the second cleaning mechanism 30, while maintaining the seal between the sealing assembly 12 and the second cleaning mechanism 30. The sealing assembly 12 is provided with a through hole 500, which communicates with the liquid supply channel 100. The slidable and sealing connection between the sealing assembly 12 and the second cleaning mechanism 30 prevents the cleaning fluid from being discharged between the sealing assembly 12 and the second cleaning mechanism 30, ensuring that the cleaning fluid has a certain flow direction under the constraint of the sealing assembly 12 and the base 11, and ensuring that the cleaning fluid can flow to a preset position. During the movement of the second cleaning mechanism 30 relative to the base 11: the through hole 500 can communicate with at least one of the first nozzle 200 and the second nozzle 300 so that at least one of the first nozzle 200 and the second nozzle 300 is connected to the liquid supply channel 100, or be covered by the second cleaning mechanism 30 so that the first nozzle 200 and the second nozzle 300 are disconnected from the liquid supply channel 100.
[0062] In the first position, the second cleaning mechanism 30 seals the through hole 500, sealing the side of the through hole 500 away from the liquid supply channel 100. Thus, through the cooperation of the sealing assembly 12 and the second cleaning mechanism 30, the first nozzle 200 and the second nozzle 300 can be disconnected from the liquid supply channel 100, putting the cleaning device into a stopped cleaning mode.
[0063] In some embodiments, the movement path also includes a second position and a third position. In the second position, the first flow channel 400a communicates with the through hole 500, thus, through the cooperation of the sealing assembly 12 and the second cleaning mechanism 30, ensuring that the cleaning fluid can stably enter the first flow channel 400a and preventing it from exiting between the sealing assembly 12 and the second cleaning mechanism 30. In the third position, the second flow channel 400b communicates with the through hole 500, thus, through the cooperation of the sealing assembly 12 and the second cleaning mechanism 30, ensuring that the cleaning fluid can stably enter the second flow channel 400b and preventing it from exiting between the sealing assembly 12 and the second cleaning mechanism 30.
[0064] This can be understood as meaning that in other embodiments, the motion path also has a fourth position. The motion path has a first position, a second position, a third position, and a fourth position. Alternatively, the motion path has a first position and a fourth position, but does not have the second and third positions mentioned above.
[0065] In the fourth position, the first flow channel 400a and the second flow channel 400b are connected to the through hole 500. That is, the through hole 500 can be connected to both the first flow channel 400a and the second flow channel 400b simultaneously. The sealing assembly 12 cooperates with the second cleaning mechanism 30 to ensure that the cleaning fluid enters the first flow channel 400a and the second flow channel 400b respectively, and prevents it from being discharged between the sealing assembly 12 and the second cleaning mechanism 30.
[0066] Alternatively, there may be two through holes 500. These two through holes 500 may be located on the same sealing assembly 12 or on two separate sealing assemblies 12. In the fourth position, the first flow channel 400a and the second flow channel 400b are connected one-to-one to the two through holes 500.
[0067] In one embodiment, please combine Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 9 , Figure 10 , Figure 12 , Figure 13 and Figure 15 The sealing assembly 12 includes a flexible member 121 and a first elastic member 122. The flexible member 121 can elastically abut against the second cleaning mechanism 30. Through its own deformation, the flexible member 121 can better conform to the second cleaning mechanism 30, improving the stability of the sliding seal between the sealing assembly 12 and the second cleaning mechanism 30. The first elastic member 122 is supported between the base 11 and the flexible member 121 to further enhance the elastic abutment force exerted by the flexible member 121 on the second cleaning mechanism 30, thereby further improving the stability of the sliding seal between the sealing assembly 12 and the second cleaning mechanism 30. The flexible member 121 may be made of, but is not limited to, rubber. The first elastic member 122 may be, but is not limited to, a metal spring or a plastic spring.
[0068] In one embodiment, please combine Figure 3 , Figure 6 , Figure 9 and Figure 15The flexible component 121 includes an annular wall 1211. The annular wall 1211 forms a through hole 500. The base 11 has a first mounting hole 600, which communicates with the liquid supply channel 100. The annular wall 1211 is partially mounted in the first mounting hole 600, which increases the connection area between the flexible component 121 and the base 11, thereby increasing the connection stability between the flexible component 121 and the base 11. The first elastic component 122 is received in the through hole 500, which provides overall support for the annular wall 1211. While ensuring that the annular wall 1211 is flexible enough to deform and fit against the second cleaning mechanism 30, it also increases the elasticity of the annular wall 1211, ensuring that the annular wall 1211 has a certain elastic force and can abut against the second cleaning mechanism 30. The first elastic component 122 can also abut the annular wall 1211 against the wall of the first mounting hole 600, which can further improve the connection stability between the flexible component 121 and the base 11.
[0069] In one embodiment, please refer to... Figure 3 , Figure 6 , Figure 9 and Figure 15 The annular wall 1211 has an annular protrusion 1212 circumferentially arranged, which abuts against the wall of the first mounting hole 600. Thus, under the action of the annular wall 1211 and the first elastic member 122, the annular protrusion 1212 can fit more tightly against the wall of the first mounting hole 600, ensuring that the flexible member 121 is more stably installed in the first mounting hole 600, while also preventing cleaning fluid that accidentally enters between the annular wall 1211 and the wall of the first mounting hole 600 from flowing into the interior of the cleaning device.
[0070] In one embodiment, please refer to... Figure 3 , Figure 6 , Figure 9 and Figure 15 The first elastic element 122 is a tower-shaped spring. The large end of the first elastic element 122 is located close to the liquid supply channel 100. This allows the annular wall 1211, located near the large end of the first elastic element 122, to better fit against the wall of the first mounting hole 600. It can cooperate with the annular protrusion 1212 to ensure that the flexible element 121 is more stably installed in the first mounting hole 600. It can also prevent the cleaning fluid that accidentally enters between the annular wall 1211 and the wall of the first mounting hole 600 from flowing into the interior of the cleaning device.
[0071] The annular wall 1211 is provided with a plug-in portion 1213, and the small end of the first elastic member 122 is plugged into the plug-in portion 1213. This increases the strength of the annular wall 1211 at the position of the small end of the first elastic member 122, ensures the structural stability at this position, and thus ensures the sliding seal between it and the second cleaning mechanism 30.
[0072] In one embodiment, please combine Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 9 , Figure 10 , Figure 12 , Figure 13 and Figure 15 The cleaning device also includes a positioning component 50. The positioning component 50 is disposed on one of the base 11 and the second cleaning mechanism 30. The other of the base 11 and the second cleaning mechanism 30 is provided with a positioning element, which is provided with a plurality of positioning parts 111. The plurality of positioning parts 111 are configured to cooperate with the positioning component 50 for positioning in different communication states between the through hole 500 and the first nozzle 200 and the second nozzle 300.
[0073] In one embodiment, the positioning member is provided with a first positioning part that engages with the positioning component 50 at a first position. This allows for position feedback at the first position, through the positioning engagement between the positioning component 50 and the first positioning part, to prompt the second cleaning mechanism 30 to move to the first position.
[0074] In some embodiments, the motion path further includes a second position and a third position. The positioning member is also provided with a second positioning portion that engages with the positioning component 50 at the second position and a third positioning portion that engages with the positioning component 50 at the third position. Similarly, at the second position, the positioning engagement between the positioning component 50 and the second positioning portion enables position feedback to indicate that the second cleaning mechanism 30 has moved to the second position; at the third position, the positioning engagement between the positioning component 50 and the third positioning portion enables position feedback to indicate that the second cleaning mechanism 30 has moved to the third position.
[0075] This can be understood as meaning that in other embodiments, the motion path also has a fourth position. The motion path has a first position, a second position, a third position, and a fourth position. Alternatively, the motion path has a first position and a fourth position, but does not have the second and third positions mentioned above.
[0076] The positioning component is also provided with a fourth positioning part that engages with the positioning assembly 50 at the fourth position. In this way, position feedback can be achieved at the fourth position through the positioning engagement between the positioning assembly 50 and the fourth positioning part, so as to prompt the second cleaning mechanism 30 to move to the fourth position.
[0077] In one embodiment, please combine Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 9 , Figure 10 , Figure 12 , Figure 13 and Figure 15 The positioning component 50 includes a rolling element 51 and a second elastic element 52. The rolling element 51 can be rolledly connected to the positioning element, thus making the movement of the second cleaning mechanism 30 relative to the base 11 smoother and facilitating the movement of the rolling element 51 to different positioning parts 111 to achieve position feedback. The second elastic element 52 can abut the rolling element 51 against the positioning element, making the fit between the rolling element 51 and the positioning element tighter and avoiding gaps between the rolling element 51 and the positioning element, which could cause abnormal noise during rolling. In one embodiment, the positioning part 111 has a groove structure, and the second elastic element 52 can also make the rolling element 51 relatively stable within the groove structure, improving the accuracy of position feedback. The second elastic element 52 can be, but is not limited to, a metal spring or a plastic spring. The base 11 is provided with a second mounting hole 700, and the second elastic element 52 is installed in the second mounting hole 700, so that the extension and contraction of the second elastic element 52 has a certain directionality. The rolling element 51 has a spherical structure and is partially housed in the second mounting hole 700. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the rolling element 51 can also have a cylindrical structure.
[0078] In some embodiments, the positioning engagement between the positioning member and the positioning assembly 50 can also be achieved through magnetic attraction. Magnetic attraction can be achieved by configuring the positioning part 111 to be magnetically connected with the positioning assembly 50, and the position can be fed back by the magnitude of the magnetic attraction force.
[0079] In one embodiment, please combine Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 10 , Figure 11 and Figure 14 The second cleaning mechanism 30 includes a connecting assembly 31 and a support arm 32. The first cleaning mechanism 20 is mounted on the connecting assembly 31. The connecting assembly 31 is mounted on the liquid supply mechanism 10. The support arm 32 is mounted on the connecting assembly 31 and is located circumferentially on the connecting assembly 31. A second nozzle 300 is mounted on the support arm 32. The support arm 32 is configured to provide support for the opening of the container 0, thereby providing support for the container 0 during cleaning and ensuring that the container 0 remains within the cleaning range of the cleaning device.
[0080] The support arm 32, driven by the container 0, can move the connecting assembly 31 relative to the liquid supply mechanism 10, so that at least one of the first nozzle 200 and the second nozzle 300 is connected to the liquid supply channel 100, or disconnected from the liquid supply channel 100. Thus, when cleaning the container 0, the support arm 32 can be driven by holding the container 0, which in turn drives the connecting assembly 31 relative to the liquid supply mechanism 10 to switch between different cleaning modes. Since switching cleaning modes requires the connecting assembly 31 to move a certain distance relative to the liquid supply mechanism 10, and the communication area between the liquid supply channel 100 and the first nozzle 200 and the second nozzle 300 gradually changes, the switching process is slow when the user holds the container 0 to switch cleaning modes. This avoids sudden changes in cleaning modes causing user tension or excessive force on the container 0, which could lead to the container 0 falling. Meanwhile, the communication area between the liquid supply channel 100 and the first nozzle 200 and the second nozzle 300 gradually changes, increasing the user's fault tolerance when switching cleaning modes. This allows for timely correction and change of the direction of the driving force acting on the support arm 32, driving the connecting assembly 31 to move relative to the liquid supply mechanism 10 in the correct direction. Multiple support arms 32 can be arranged at intervals around the circumference of the connecting assembly 31. Furthermore, in some embodiments, the support arms 32 can also be arranged in a ring shape around the circumference of the connecting assembly 31.
[0081] In one embodiment, please combine Figure 11 and Figure 14 The support arm 32 is provided with a support portion 321, which is configured to provide support for the opening of the container 0 and increase the friction between the support arm 32 and the opening of the container 0. This increase in the support portion 321 prevents slippage when the container 0 drives the support arm 32, ensuring a stable connection between the container 0 and the support arm 32 and allowing the driving force to be effectively transmitted to the connecting assembly 31.
[0082] In one embodiment, the support 321 is made of an elastic material that can deform to wrap around the opening of the container 0, further increasing friction. The elastic material includes, but is not limited to, rubber and plastic.
[0083] In one embodiment, please combine Figure 11 and Figure 14The support portion 321 protrudes outward from the support arm 32, thereby increasing the deformation space of the support portion 321 and allowing for greater deformation under the action of the opening of the container 0. This increases the area covered by the opening of the container 0, further enhancing friction. The number of support portions 321 located on the same support arm 32 can be multiple, or the support portions 321 can repeatedly pass through the orthographic projection of the opening of the container 0 onto the support arm 32, further increasing the connection area with the opening of the container 0 and enhancing friction.
[0084] In one embodiment, such as Figure 8 and Figure 14 As shown, there are multiple second nozzles 300, at least some of which are distributed radially along the connecting assembly 31. This increases the area of the outer wall 02 of the container 0 that is directly cleaned by the cleaning fluid, thereby increasing the cleaning power of the outer wall 02. At least one of the multiple second nozzles 300 has a liquid outlet direction. Since the multiple second nozzles 300 have one liquid outlet direction, the area of the outer wall 02 of the container 0 that is directly cleaned by the cleaning fluid can be increased by changing the distribution of the multiple second nozzles 300. Furthermore, in some embodiments, the multiple second nozzles 300 may also have multiple liquid outlet directions, which can be combined with the distribution of the multiple second nozzles 300 to further increase the area of the outer wall 02 of the container 0 that is directly cleaned by the cleaning fluid.
[0085] In one embodiment, please combine Figure 3 , Figure 6 , Figure 9 , Figures 11 to 14 The connecting assembly 31 includes a housing 311 and a water distribution body 312, with the water distribution body 312 mounted on and sealed to the housing 311. The positioning element is integral with the water distribution body 312. A first flow channel 400a and a second flow channel 400b are disposed on the water distribution body 312. A third flow channel 400c is provided on the housing 311, connecting the first nozzle 200 and the first flow channel 400a. A fourth flow channel 400d is provided circumferentially between the water distribution body 312 and the housing 311. A fifth flow channel 400e is provided on the support arm 32, communicating with the second nozzle 300, and the fourth flow channel 400d connects the second flow channel 400b and the fifth flow channel 400e. The water distribution body 312 is provided with a first limiting part 3121, and the base 11 is provided with a second limiting part 112. The first limiting part 3121 and the second limiting part 112 cooperate to limit the range of rotation of the connecting assembly 31 relative to the base 11. The position of the liquid supply channel 100 in a certain connected state with the first nozzle 200 and the second nozzle 300 can be set at the stop point of rotation of the connecting assembly 31 relative to the base 11. For example... Figure 4 , Figure 7 and Figure 10The second and third positions can be set at two stop points of rotation of the connecting assembly 31 relative to the base 11, with the first position located between the second and third positions. The second position is reached by rotating counterclockwise from the first position to one stop point of rotation of the connecting assembly 31 relative to the base 11. The third position is reached by rotating clockwise from the first position to the other stop point of rotation of the connecting assembly 31 relative to the base 11. One of the first limiting part 3121 and the second limiting part 112 is a protruding structure, and the other has a groove structure.
[0086] In one embodiment, please combine Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 6 , Figure 9 , Figure 11 , Figures 16 to 18 The first cleaning mechanism 20 is rotatably connected to the liquid supply mechanism 10 or the second cleaning mechanism 30. The first cleaning mechanism 20 includes a nozzle 21 and a connector 22. A first nozzle 200 is disposed on the nozzle 21. A connecting post 3111 is provided on the housing 311, and the connector 22 is rotatably connected to the connecting post 3111 via a bearing 23, and the axial position of the bearing 23 is limited by a retaining ring 24. The third flow channel 400c communicates with the second nozzle 300 via the connecting post 3111. The nozzle 21 and the connector 22 are detachably connected by means including but not limited to threaded connections, snap-fit connections, and plug-in connections to facilitate cleaning of the interior of the first cleaning mechanism 20.
[0087] The number of the first nozzles 200 is multiple. The multiple first nozzles 200 spray the cleaning fluid onto the inner wall 01 of the container 0, and a resultant force capable of driving the first cleaning mechanism 20 to rotate relative to the liquid supply mechanism 10 or the second cleaning mechanism 30 can be formed. In this way, when the cleaning device cleans the inner wall 01 of the container 0, the resultant force of the cleaning fluid acting on the first cleaning mechanism 20 after being ejected from the first nozzles 200 can drive the first cleaning mechanism 20 to rotate relative to the liquid supply mechanism 10 or the second cleaning mechanism 30, increasing the area where the cleaning fluid directly acts on the inner wall 01 of the container 0 and enhancing the decontamination ability of the inner wall 01. Some of the first nozzles 200 among the multiple first nozzles 200 are at least located on a plane perpendicular to the rotation axis of the first cleaning mechanism 20. The liquid ejection directions of the first nozzles 200 located on the same plane are within the above-mentioned plane or are inclined to the above-mentioned plane, and the liquid ejection directions of the first nozzles 200 located on the same plane are evenly distributed clockwise or counterclockwise. The liquid ejection directions of another part of the first nozzles 200 among the multiple first nozzles 200 can be coplanar with the rotation axis of the first cleaning mechanism 20 so as not to affect the rotation of the first cleaning mechanism 20 relative to the liquid supply mechanism 10 or the second cleaning mechanism 30. In addition, in some embodiments, the liquid ejection directions of another part of the first nozzles 200 among the multiple first nozzles 200 may not be coplanar with the rotation axis of the first cleaning mechanism 20 to form different cleaning effects, but the number of this part of the first nozzles 200 needs to be controlled to ensure that the first cleaning mechanism 20 can continuously rotate relative to the liquid supply mechanism 10 or the second cleaning mechanism 30 or rotate within a certain angle range.
