The power supply module 103 of the handheld floor scrubber is placed in the first cavity and electrically connected to the charging module 5, so that the power supply module 103 can be charged. The charging module 5 is a commonly used device in the field of chargers, and the specific structure is not repeated here.

[0088] like Figure 3As shown, further, the base also includes a folder, which includes a first arm 231 and a second arm 232 hinged on the first arm 231. The power cord of the charging module 5 is arranged along the first arm 231 and the second arm 232, and is fixed to the first arm 231 and the second arm 232 by a buckle or a fixing line. During the process of drawing the drawer 22, the folder opens or closes with the movement of the power cord, thereby reducing the possibility that the power cord of the charging module 5 affects the sliding of the drawer 22 during the process of drawing the drawer 22, and also reducing the wear of the power cord, thereby extending the service life of the charging module 5.

[0089] As another preferred embodiment, one end of the first arm 231 away from the second arm 232 is hinged on the drawer 22, and one end of the second arm 232 away from the first arm 231 is hinged on the box frame 21. As the drawer 22 is pulled out of the box frame 21, the folder opens, and as the drawer 22 is reset back into the box frame 21, the folder closes. The folder can be stably installed in the box frame 21, so that the power cord can be better guided.

[0090] like Figures 3 to 6 As shown, the water purification box 101 is placed in the second cavity, and the water purification box 101 can be replenished with water by a washing device to replace manual replenishment of the water purification box 101. The roller brush 102 is placed in the third cavity, and the roller brush 102 can be dried and sterilized by a washing device to improve the cleaning effect of the floor.

[0091] like Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the washing device includes a housing 31, a washing drum 32, a water supply pipe 33, a water storage tank 39, a water supply mechanism and a drying mechanism for drying the roller brush 102. Of course, the bottom platform can also be installed with a drying mechanism to dry the roller brush 102, or the drying mechanism can be installed in the bottom platform to dry the roller brush 102 and the clothes in the washing drum 32. In this embodiment, only the washing device including the drying mechanism is used as an example for explanation. The washing drum 32 is installed in the housing 31, one end of the water supply pipe 33 is connected to the washing drum 32, and the other end of the water supply pipe 33 is connected to a tap water source. Clean water can be supplied to the washing drum 32 through the water supply pipe 33 to wash the clothes. The water storage tank 39 is installed in the housing 31 and is connected to the washing drum 32 through the water storage pipe 6. A water storage valve 7 is installed on the water storage pipe 6. When the water storage valve 7 is opened, the rinsing water in the washing drum 32 can be discharged into the water storage tank 39 for storage.

[0092] like Figure 4As shown, the water supply mechanism includes a circulation pipe 341, a water supply pipe 342, a circulation pump 343 and a water supply valve 344 installed on the water supply pipe 342, and the water supply valve 344 is used to control the on and off of the water supply pipe 342. One end of the water supply pipe 342 passes through the drawer 22 and is connected to the water purification box 101, and the other end of the water supply pipe 342 extends out of the box frame 21 and is connected to the circulation pipe 341, and the water supply pipe 342 is arranged along the first arm 231 and the second arm 232 and fixed to the first arm 231 and the second arm 232 by buckles. By guiding and constraining the water supply pipe 342 by the folder, the possibility of the water supply pipe 342 affecting the drawing and pulling of the drawer 22 can be reduced, and the wear of the water supply pipe 342 can also be reduced, and the service life of the water supply pipe 342 can be extended.

[0093] One end of the circulation pipe 341 away from the water supply pipe 342 is connected to the water storage tank 39, and the circulation pump 343 is installed on the circulation pipe 341. When it is necessary to wash clothes, clean water is injected into the washing tub 32 through the water supply pipe 33 to wash the clothes. After the clothes are washed, the water storage valve 7 is first opened to allow part of the rinsing water to flow into the water storage tank 39 for storage, and then the remaining rinsing water is discharged. When it is necessary to replenish water for the water purification box 101, the water supply valve 344 is opened, the circulation pump 343 is started, and the rinsing water in the water storage tank 39 is supplied to the water purification box 101, and the automatic water replenishment of the water purification box 101 is completed, which is convenient for users to use; at the same time, the water used for rinsing clothes is used for washing the floor, which can improve the utilization rate of water resources. In addition, all the rinsing water in the washing tub 32 can be discharged. When the water purification box 101 needs to be replenished with water, clean water is injected into the washing tub 32 through the water supply pipe 33, the water storage valve 7 and the water replenishment valve 344 are opened, and the circulation pump 343 is started to supply the tap water flowing into the water storage tank 39 to the water purification box 101 for use.

[0094] like Figure 5 As shown, as another preferred embodiment, the washing device further includes a water outlet pipe 37, a drainage pump 36 and a drainage pipe 35, but does not include a water tank 39, a water storage pipe 6 and a water storage valve 7. One end of the water outlet pipe 37 is connected to the washing tub 32, and the other end of the water outlet pipe 37 is connected to the water inlet of the drainage pump 36 and the water inlet of the circulation pump 343. The drainage pipe 35 is connected to the water outlet of the drainage pump 36. When the drainage pump 36 is started, the water in the washing tub 32 can be discharged from the washing device through the water outlet pipe 37, the drainage pump 36 and the drainage pipe 35. The circulation pipe 341 is connected to the water outlet of the circulation pump 343. After the clothes in the washing tub 32 are rinsed, the circulation pump 343 is started, the water replenishment valve 344 is opened, and the rinsing water in the washing tub 32 is replenished into the water purification box 101. After the water purification box 101 is replenished, the circulation pump 343 and the water replenishment valve 344 are closed, and the drainage pump 36 is started to discharge the rinsing water in the washing tub 32.

[0095] like Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, further, a filter 347 is installed on the circulation pipe 341. The filter 347 can reduce the possibility of debris such as lint in the rinsing water entering the water supply pipe 342 or the water purification box 101, thereby reducing the possibility of clogging of the water supply pipe 342 or clogging of the water inlet of the water purification box 101, making water replenishment smoother.

[0096] Furthermore, the water supply mechanism further includes a water inlet pipe 345 and a three-way valve 346. The three-way valve 346 is used to connect the tap water source, the water supply pipe 33 and the water inlet pipe 345. One end of the water inlet pipe 345 away from the three-way valve 346 is connected to the water supply pipe 342. When it is necessary to replenish water to the water purification box 101, the valve port of the three-way valve 346 connected to the water inlet pipe 345 can be opened, the valve port connected to the water supply pipe 33 can be closed, and the water supply valve 344 can be opened to directly introduce tap water into the water purification box 101 for water replenishment, making water replenishment more convenient.

[0097] like Figure 1 As shown, in addition, both the washing device and the handheld floor scrubber include a detergent box 4, and the shape of the detergent box 4 is set to be adaptable to the washing device and the handheld floor scrubber. Before using the handheld floor scrubber, the user can directly install the detergent box 4 already filled with detergent on the washing device onto the handheld floor scrubber, thereby reducing the steps of manually filling the handheld floor scrubber with detergent, thereby further simplifying the preparation work before using the surface cleaning device, facilitating the user, and improving the user's experience.

[0098] like Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, after the handheld floor scrubber is used, the roller brush 102 is cleaned, and then the roller brush 102 is placed in the third cavity and dried and sterilized by the drying mechanism. The drying mechanism includes a drying duct 381, a fan 382, ​​a heating component 383 and an exhaust pipe 385. The air inlet of the drying duct 381 is connected to the external environment, and the air outlet 3811 of the drying duct 381 passes through the box frame 21 and is connected to the third cavity. The drying duct 381 is provided with a side outlet pipe 386, and the side outlet pipe 386 is connected to the washing drum 32. The fan 382 and the heating component 383 are installed in the drying duct 381 and are located between the air inlet of the drying duct 381 and the side outlet pipe 386. The heating component 383 is a commonly used device in the field of washing equipment heating, and the specific structure is not repeated here.

[0099] Starting the fan 382 can draw outside air into the drying air duct 381, heat the air through the heating component 383, and then the fan 382 can send the heated air into the washing drum 32 through the side air outlet 386 to dry the clothes in the washing drum 32. At the same time, the heated air is sent into the third cavity through the air outlet 3811 of the drying air duct 381 to dry the roller brush 102 in the third cavity, thereby increasing the drying speed of the roller brush 102 and sterilizing the roller brush 102, thereby reducing the possibility of the roller brush 102 getting moldy, extending the service life of the roller brush 102, and improving the cleaning effect of the roller brush 102 on the ground.

[0100] Furthermore, an ultraviolet sterilization module (not shown in the figure) can be installed in the third cavity to further sterilize and disinfect the roller brush 102. The ultraviolet sterilization module is a commonly used device in the sterilization field, and the specific structure will not be repeated here.

[0101] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, further, the drying mechanism also includes a guide assembly, which includes a guide motor 3841 and a paddle 3842. The guide motor 3841 is installed on the drying air duct 381, and the paddle 3842 is located in the drying air duct 381 and fixed on the output shaft of the guide motor 3841. The guide motor 3841 can drive the paddle 3842 to rotate, so that the paddle 3842 can guide the hot air in the drying air duct 381 to flow into the drawer 22 or the washing drum 32. When it is necessary to dry the clothes in the washing drum 32, the paddle 3842 does not close the air inlet of the side air outlet duct 386 and closes the drying air duct 381, so that the hot air enters the washing drum 32 through the side air outlet duct 386 to dry the clothes, and does not enter the drawer 22 through the air outlet 3811 of the drying air duct 381, thereby improving the drying efficiency of the clothes. On the contrary, when the roller brush 102 needs to be dried, the paddle 3842 does not close the drying air duct 381 and closes the air inlet of the side air outlet duct 386, so that the hot air enters the third cavity through the air outlet 3811 of the drying air duct 381 to dry the roller brush 102, instead of entering the washing drum 32 through the side air outlet duct 386, thereby improving the drying efficiency of the roller brush 102.

[0102] Furthermore, a closed cover (not shown in the figure) is installed in the third cavity, the air outlet 3811 of the drying air duct 381 is located in the closed cover, the roller brush 102 is placed in the closed cover, the exhaust pipe 385 is connected to the space in the closed cover, and the end of the exhaust pipe 385 away from the closed cover can be connected to a sewer pipe, a water receiving tray, etc. The hot air is blown into the closed cover to dry the roller brush 102, and the hot and humid air carrying water vapor is discharged through the exhaust pipe 385. The closed cover can reduce the possibility of hot and humid air contacting the charging module 5, thereby improving the safety of the charging module 5. Of course, the placement height of the water purification box 101 in the drawer 22 can also be designed so that the water purification box 101 can prevent hot and humid air from contacting the charging module 5 to improve the safety of the charging module 5.

[0103] like Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, the exhaust duct 385 is arranged along the first arm 231 and the second arm 232, and is fixed to the first arm 231 and the second arm 232 by a buckle. The exhaust duct 385 is guided and constrained by the folder, which can reduce the possibility of the exhaust duct 385 affecting the pulling and pulling of the drawer 22, and at the same time can also reduce the wear of the exhaust duct 385 and extend the service life of the exhaust duct 385.

[0104] Furthermore, the drying mechanism also includes a condenser (not shown in the figure), which is installed on the first arm 231 or the second arm 232, and the exhaust pipe 385 is fitted with the condenser. The condenser and the exhaust pipe 385 are heat exchanged to condense the hot and humid air in the exhaust pipe 385, so that the air and the condensed water are separated and then discharged into the sewer pipe or the water receiving tray, which can reduce the possibility of the hot and humid air carrying water vapor overflowing, so that the condensed water can be discharged into the sewer pipe or the water receiving tray more smoothly. In addition, the length of the exhaust pipe 385 can be extended, or the bend of the exhaust pipe 385 can be increased, so that the contact area between the hot and humid air in the exhaust pipe 385 and the exhaust pipe 385 becomes larger, so as to improve the heat exchange effect, condense the condensed water in the hot and humid air, separate it from the air, and then discharge it into the sewer pipe or the water receiving tray more smoothly.

[0105] By integrating the washing device, the handheld floor scrubber and the base, the cleaning device can have both the washing function of the washing device and the floor washing function of the handheld floor scrubber, and can also replenish water, replenish detergent, dry the roller brush 102 and charge the handheld floor scrubber. On the one hand, the capacity of the washing device can be fully utilized, and on the other hand, the automation degree of the handheld floor scrubber can be improved, which is convenient for users to use.
