[0037] Reference below Figures 1 to 4 The present invention describes a vertical brush assembly and a vehicle compartment cleaning device according to embodiments of the present invention.

[0038] According to the vertical brush assembly of the first embodiment of the present utility model, Figures 1 to 4 As shown, it includes a mounting base 100 , a bracket 200 , a vertical brush 300 , a driving member 400 and an elastic member 500 .

[0039] The mounting seat 100 may include a mounting plate and a plurality of connecting seats provided on the mounting plate. The mounting plate is used to be installed on the vehicle compartment cleaning device, and the connecting seats are used to connect the bracket 200 and the elastic member 500, etc.

[0040] The bracket 200 is connected to the mounting base 100 and rotates around the vertical axis. The vertical brush 300 is provided on the bracket 200. The axis of the vertical brush 300 can extend vertically. The outer peripheral wall of the vertical brush 300 can be provided with multiple steel wires 304 or bristles 305.

[0041] The driving member 400 is disposed on the bracket 200 and connected to the vertical brush 300 to drive the vertical brush 300 to rotate. The driving member 400 can be a driving motor, a rotating cylinder, etc.

[0042] The elastic member 500 is disposed between the bracket 200 and the mounting base 100 to apply elastic force to the bracket 200 so that the side of the vertical brush 300 facing away from the elastic member 500 elastically abuts against the side wall of the vehicle compartment.

[0043] In the present invention, when cleaning the sidewall of a vehicle compartment, the sidewall of the upright brush 300 is brought into contact with the sidewall of the vehicle compartment, and then the driving member 400 is activated, which drives the upright brush 300 to rotate, thereby cleaning the sidewall of the vehicle compartment. According to the upright brush assembly of the present invention, when cleaning, the side of the upright brush 300 facing away from the elastic member 500 can be brought into contact with the sidewall of the vehicle compartment. In this way, the elastic force exerted by the elastic member 500 on the bracket 200 causes the upright brush 300 on the bracket 200 to elastically abut against the sidewall of the vehicle compartment. When the upright brush 300 is brought into contact with an uneven area of the vehicle compartment sidewall, the elastic member 500 correspondingly compresses or stretches, thereby allowing the upright brush 300 to more appropriately adhere to the sidewall of the vehicle compartment. This not only prevents the upright brush 300 from being too tightly attached to the sidewall of the vehicle compartment, resulting in excessive friction and difficulty in rotation, but also prevents the formation of a gap between the upright brush 300 and the sidewall of the vehicle compartment, which could affect the cleaning effect.

[0044] It should be noted that the bracket 200 can rotate, and the position where the vertical brush 300 is in contact with the side wall of the vehicle compartment is the side of the vertical brush 300 away from the elastic member 500. When the elastic member 500 elastically applies pressure to the vertical brush 300, the vertical brush 300 can be elastically contacted with the side wall of the vehicle compartment.

[0045] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the elastic member 500 is configured as a spring, and the expansion and contraction direction of the elastic member 500 is perpendicular to the vertical axis. In this embodiment, the elastic member 500 is configured as a spring, which is not only easy to install, but also has high structural strength and long service life, and further provides a better elastic force effect.

[0046] It should be noted that the elastic member 500 may also be other structures, for example, a spring.

[0047] refer to Figure 4As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the mounting base 100 is rotatably connected to the first connecting portion 101, the bracket 200 is rotatably connected to the second connecting portion 201, one of the first connecting portion 101 and the second connecting portion 201 is provided with a guide rod 202, and the other is provided with a through hole. The end of the guide rod 202 is passed through the through hole and is provided with a limit pin 203. The elastic member 500 is sleeved on the guide rod 202, and the two ends of the elastic member 500 respectively abut against the first connecting portion 101 and the second connecting portion 201. For example, the rotation direction of the first connecting portion 101 can be vertical, and the rotation direction of the second connecting portion 201 can be vertical. The first connecting portion 101 can be provided with a through hole, one end of the guide rod 202 is connected to the second connecting portion 201, and the other end is passed through the through hole and is provided with a limit pin 203. The limit pin 203 can extend along the radial direction of the through hole to prevent the guide rod 202 from moving out of the through hole.

[0048] In this embodiment, the guide rod 202 is provided to prevent the spring from bending when compressed, thereby reducing the elastic pressure effect, thereby improving the elastic contact between the vertical brush 300 and the side wall of the vehicle compartment. In addition, the first connecting portion 101 and the second connecting portion 201 are both rotatably mounted, and the end of the guide rod 202 is inserted into the through hole, thus preventing the guide rod 202 from interfering with the rotation of the bracket 200. A limit pin 203 is provided to prevent the guide rod 202 from moving out of the through hole, making the connection more stable.

[0049] refer to Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, at least two elastic members 500 are provided, and the at least two elastic members 500 are arranged vertically. For example, two elastic members 500 can be provided, and the two elastic members 500 are arranged vertically. This allows the elastic members 500 to apply a more uniform elastic force to the bracket 200, thereby not only making the bracket 200 rotate more smoothly, but also improving the elastic contact between the vertical brush 300 and the side wall of the vehicle compartment.

[0050] refer to Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the vertical brush 300 includes multiple vertically arranged vertical brush units 301, with two adjacent vertical brush units 301 being detachably connected. This arrangement allows the number of vertical brush units 301 to be increased or decreased according to the height of the vehicle sidewall, thereby adjusting the overall height of the vertical brush 300 to better match the height of the vehicle sidewall, making it more convenient to use and more practical.

The plug-in portion 303 is inserted into the slot 302 and connected to the upper vertical brush unit 301 via fasteners. The splicing of the two adjacent vertical brush units 301 is completed by inserting the plug-in portion 303 at the top end of the lower vertical brush unit 301 into the slot 302 at the bottom end of the upper vertical brush unit 301, and then connecting the plug-in portion 303 to the upper vertical brush unit 301 via fasteners. The operation is simple and convenient, and the connection is stable.

[0052] It should be noted that in some other embodiments of the present invention, a slot 302 may be provided at the bottom end of the vertical brush unit 301 located below, and a plug-in portion 303 may be provided at the top end of the vertical brush unit 301 located above. The plug-in portion 303 is inserted into the slot 302 and connected to the vertical brush unit 301 below via fasteners.

[0053] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the sidewalls of the slot 302 are configured to be non-circular, and the outer peripheral wall of the plug portion 303 is configured to be non-circular. For example, the sidewalls of the slot 302 can be square, and the outer peripheral wall of the plug portion 303 can be configured to be correspondingly square. In this way, the plug portion 303 cannot rotate relative to the slot 302, and can withstand the shear force generated when the vertical brush 300 rotates for cleaning, thereby preventing damage to the fastener caused by excessive shear force.

[0054] refer to Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the outer peripheral wall of the lowest vertical brush unit 301 is provided with a plurality of steel wires 304, which extend downwardly and obliquely away from the lowest vertical brush unit 301. In this way, the steel wires 304 can clean the corner between the side wall and the bottom surface of the vehicle compartment. The steel wires 304 have high structural strength and strong cleaning ability. The outer peripheral walls of the remaining vertical brush units 301 are provided with a plurality of bristles 305, which can clean the side walls of the vehicle compartment.

[0055] refer to Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, a plurality of slots 306 are provided on the outer peripheral wall of the bottommost vertical brush unit 301. The slots 306 are arranged along the circumference of the vertical brush unit 301 and extend axially along the vertical brush unit 301. The slots 306 are provided at the top or bottom thereof. A clip 307 is fixed in the slot 306 and can be removed from the top or bottom thereof. A steel wire 304 is provided on the clip 307. A detachable stop 308 is provided at the top or bottom of the bottommost vertical brush unit 301. The stop 308 is used to restrict the removal of the clip 307. For example, the slots 306 can be provided at the top thereof so that the clip 307 can be removed from the top thereof. The stop 308 can be mounted on the top of the bottommost vertical brush unit 301 via fasteners. The stop 308 can block the top of the slot 306 to restrict the removal of the clip 307 from the top thereof.

[0056] During long-term use, the steel wire 304 is prone to wear and tear, thereby reducing the cleaning effect. In this embodiment, the limiting portion 308 can be removed, and then the card strip 307 with the worn steel wire 304 can be taken out, and then the new card strip 307 with the steel wire 304 can be inserted into the card slot 306, and then the limiting portion 308 can be reinstalled. The replacement is simple and convenient, saving time and effort.

[0057] According to the second embodiment of the present invention, the vehicle compartment cleaning device includes the vertical brush assembly of the first embodiment.

[0058] According to the carriage cleaning device of the embodiment of the present invention, by adopting the upright brush assembly of the embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention, the upright brush 300 can be more adaptably fitted to the side wall of the carriage, which can not only avoid the upright brush 300 from being too tightly fitted to the side wall of the carriage, resulting in excessive friction and difficulty in rotation, but also avoid the gap between the upright brush 300 and the side wall of the carriage, which affects the cleaning effect.
