A glass armrest 11 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the armrest base 1. An armrest top plate 12 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the glass armrest 11. A U-shaped fixed bracket 2 is arranged on the side surface of the glass armrest 11. A handrail 21 is fixedly connected to the front side surface of the fixed bracket 2. Two groups of cleaning mechanisms are arranged inside the fixed bracket 2. The cleaning mechanism includes a first mounting plate 3, an electric motor 31, a cleaning disc 32, a cleaning brush 33, a second mounting plate 4, a water-absorbing sponge 41 and a support roller 61. Multiple groups of the electric motors 31 are provided. The multiple groups of electric motors 31 are fixedly installed on the surface of the first mounting plate 3. The output end of the electric motor 31 is fixedly connected to the cleaning disc 32. The cleaning brush 33 is fixedly connected to the surface of the cleaning disc 32. The water-absorbing sponge 41 is fixedly connected to the surface of the second mounting plate 4. Support blocks 6 are fixedly connected to the side surfaces of the first mounting plate 3 and the second mounting plate 4. The support roller 61 is rotatably connected to the support block 6.

[0032] Among them, the fixed bracket 2 is clamped on the side surface of the glass armrest 11, and then the two groups of cleaning mechanisms are respectively arranged on the front and rear side surfaces of the glass armrest 11, and the upper and lower support rollers 61 are respectively clamped on the surfaces of the armrest top plate 12 and the armrest base 1 to limit the position of the cleaning mechanism. Then the staff stands on the upper side of the stairs and holds the handrail 21. As the stairs rise, the staff drives the cleaning mechanism to move upward on the surface of the glass armrest 11, cleaning the inner and outer sides of the glass armrest 11 at the same time, improving the cleaning efficiency and the cleaning safety.

[0033] Refer to Figures 3 to 5 As shown in the figure, multiple groups of fixing plates 5 are fixedly connected between the first mounting plate 3 and the second mounting plate 4. The multiple groups of fixing plates 5 in the rear cleaning mechanism are fixedly connected to the rear vertical rod of the fixed bracket 2. A connecting block 51 is fixedly connected to the surface of the middle fixing plate 5 at the front side. A positioning groove 52 is formed inside the connecting block 51. Limiting rods 53 are fixedly connected to the surfaces of the upper and lower ends of the fixing plates 5 at the front side. A threaded groove 22 is formed in the middle of the front vertical rod of the fixed bracket 2. A threaded rod 23 is threadedly connected inside the threaded groove 22. A positioning block 24 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the threaded rod 23. The positioning block 24 is rotatably connected to the positioning groove 52. Multiple groups of limiting holes are formed on the surface of the front vertical rod of the fixed bracket 2. The limiting rod 53 is slidably connected to the limiting hole.

[0034] In addition, during the installation of the cleaning mechanism, after clamping the cleaning mechanism on both sides of the glass handrail 11, first press the cleaning brush 33 and the water-absorbing sponge 41 in the rear cleaning mechanism against the rear surface of the glass handrail 11. Then rotate the threaded rod 23. The threaded rod 23 rotates inside the threaded groove 22 and moves backward. At this time, while the threaded rod 23 drives the positioning block 24 to rotate inside the positioning groove 52, it cooperates with the fixed plate 5 to push the front cleaning mechanism backward, so that the cleaning brush 33 and the water-absorbing sponge 41 in the front cleaning mechanism are pressed against the front surface of the glass handrail 11. At this time, the limiting rod 53 slides inside the limiting hole to maintain the stability of the front cleaning mechanism.

[0035] The working principle of the present utility model: The fixed brackets 2 are installed on both sides of the glass handrail 11. At this time, the two cleaning mechanisms are respectively located on the front and rear sides of the glass handrail 11, and the cleaning brush 33 and the water-absorbing sponge 41 are respectively abutted against the front and rear surface of the glass handrail 11. Then the cleaner stands on the stairs and holds the handrail 21. As the stairs move upward, it drives the cleaning mechanism to move upward on the surface of the glass handrail 11. At this time, the output end of the electric motor 31 drives the cleaning brush 33 to rotate to clean both sides of the glass. Then the water-absorbing sponge 41 wipes the water stains after cleaning, reducing the labor intensity of the staff, increasing the cleaning efficiency of the glass handrail 11, and improving the safety of stair cleaning at the same time.
