[0002] The working principle of cleaning products such as floor scrubbers is to suck the dirt on the ground into the sewage bucket through the rotation of the roller brush and the suction fan. After the roller brush has been cleaning for a certain period of time, the roller brush will be contaminated with dirt and needs to be self-cleaned. Usually, the floor scrubber is put back on the base station to start the self-cleaning function, so that the roller brush of the floor scrubber can be self-cleaned through the cleaning slot and scraper on the base station, and the roller brush can be dried through the drying structure set on the base station.

[0003] However, due to the low depth of the cleaning groove on the base of the base station, when the roller brush is self-cleaning in the cleaning groove, only the bottom of the roller brush can contact the water, resulting in the roller brush not being completely immersed and the self-cleaning not being thorough. In addition, since the roller brush rotates unidirectionally during self-cleaning, the bristles on the roller brush fall unidirectionally under the action of the scraper, and some dirt will be pressed under the bristles and cannot be effectively cleaned.
