[0028] The working principle of the present application: when cleaning the ventilation duct of the central air conditioning, the motor 1033 drives the gear 1034 and the gear ring 1035 to transmit power, so that the gear ring 1035 drives the fixed cylinder brush 1036 to rotate, the fixed cylinder brush 1036 drives the outer adjusting cylinder brush 1039 and the inner adjusting cylinder brush 10311 to rotate, so that the fixed cylinder brush 1036, the outer adjusting cylinder brush 1039 and the inner adjusting cylinder brush 10311 clean the ventilation duct, and the flexible mechanical arm 101 adjusts the cleaning angle. When cleaning the narrow ventilation duct, the inner adjusting cylinder brush 10311 is pushed by the first electric push rod 1032, and the first spring 1038 on the inner side is pre-deformed due to the fact that the elastic potential energy of the first spring 1038 is smaller than the elastic potential energy of the second spring 2055 on the outer side, so that the inner adjusting cylinder brush 10311 is pre-stretched to meet the cleaning of the narrow space; if the cleaning surface needs to be increased, the first electric push rod 1032 is continuously pushed, and at this time, the outer adjusting cylinder brush 1039 extends outward to increase the cleaning surface; during the cleaning process, the integrated cleaning robot 100 performs dust collection work through the annular dust collection head 1022, and impurities enter the dust collection cavity of the integrated cleaning robot 100 for collection. After the cleaning of a certain area of the ventilation duct is completed, the integrated cleaning robot 100 is caused to crawl to a new cleaning area, and the sealing air bags 202 are located in the cleaned area; at this time, the sealing air bags 202 are inflated by the air blower 2061 cooperating with the air conveying hoses 2064 to be sealed to the inner wall of the ventilation duct; after sealing, the three-way valve 2063 closes the two air conveying hoses 2064, and at this time, the air blower 2061 inflates the cavity formed between the sealing air bags 202 through the upper end of the three-way valve 2063; as the gas increases, the gas enters the outer shell 2051 and drives the sealing plug 2054 to move, so that the sealing plug 2054 drives the second spring 2055 to deform, and the sealing plug 2054 also drives the switch 2053 to be separated from the limiting contact bracket 2052, and then a new round of cleaning work is performed; at the same time, when the sealed space formed between the sealing air bags 202 leaks, the second spring 2055 drives the sealing plug 2054 to reset, so that the switch 2053 contacts the limiting contact bracket 2052 and controls the alarm 2057 to perform abnormal alarm; When it is needed to shift the cleaning area again, the right air conveying hose 2064 is opened by the exhaust valve in advance, so that the sealing air bags 202 are exhausted, and then the second electric push rod 2031 is controlled to drive the second sliding block 2033 to move, so that the telescopic frame 2032 is retracted, and the right outer frame 201 moves to the left, and after moving to the appropriate position, the exhaust valve is closed, and the right air conveying hose 2064 is opened by the three-way valve 2063, so that the air blower 2061 inflates the sealing air bags 202 again to keep the right sealing air bags 202 closed. Then, the left sealing air bags 202 are exhausted by opening the exhaust valve, and then the integrated cleaning robot 100 continues to crawl forward, and the adjusting assembly 203 expands to move to a new cleaning area, and then the left sealing air bags 202 are inflated and sealed by the air conveying assembly 206, and the inflation work between the two sealing air bags 202 is performed again to detect the air tightness of the ventilation duct in sections and to perform cleaning work in sections.
