[0027] The present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; mechanical connections, electrical connections; direct connections, indirect connections through an intermediate medium, and internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0029] An embodiment of the present invention: Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a floor scrubber with a power-assisted structure includes a control handle 1, a connecting handle 2, a chassis 4, a chassis 7, a rear main wheel 10, and a brush plate 21; the upper end of the connecting handle 2 is connected to the control handle 1, and the lower end is hinged to the chassis 4 through a hinge 3; the bottom of the chassis 4 is mounted on the chassis 7, and the front side of the bottom of the chassis 7 is provided with a brush plate 21, and the rear side is provided with a rear main wheel 10; the chassis 7 is connected to the brush plate 21 through the power-assisted structure. Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the power-assisting structure includes a U-shaped mounting seat 18 and a limit adjustment nut 1802; there are positioning openings on both sides of the U-shaped mounting seat 18, and the positioning openings are hinged to the side holes of the chassis 7 through a pin shaft 1803. There is a strip through hole 1801 on the U-shaped mounting seat 18, and a limit adjustment nut 1802 is provided on the chassis 7. One end of the screw of the limit adjustment nut 1802 is fixed on the chassis 7, and the rod body is in the strip through hole 1801. The U-shaped mounting seat 18 can swing within the range of the strip through hole to adjust the inclination angle formed by the brush plate 21 and the ground. Twisting the limit adjustment nut 1802 can fix the U-shaped mounting seat 18.

[0030] The chassis of the present invention is equipped with a power-assisting structure that can adjust the inclination angle formed by the brush disc 21 and the ground. Part of the friction between the brush disc 21 and the ground is converted into a horizontal forward pulling force, thereby achieving a power-assisting cleaning effect and reducing labor intensity. According to the laws of physics, the formula for calculating sliding friction is: f = μN. Here, μ is the dynamic friction factor, also known as the sliding friction coefficient, and N is the positive pressure. The parameter μ is constant on the same ground surface, so the magnitude of the friction force can be affected by changing the magnitude of the positive pressure N. According to the formula for pressure and force N = PS, we can know that methods for increasing pressure N include increasing pressure P while keeping the force area S constant, or increasing the force area S while keeping pressure P constant. Methods for reducing pressure N include reducing pressure P while keeping the force area S constant, or increasing the force area S while keeping pressure P constant. In the system with the auxiliary wheels and rear main wheels, pressure P is a constant parameter. Therefore, simply changing the size of the contact area S can change the magnitude of the positive pressure N, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting the friction force f and thus the power-assisting effect.

[0031] In other specific embodiments of the present invention, the rest are the same as the above embodiments, except that, Figure 3 As shown, the bottom of the U-shaped mounting base 18 has a pair of mounting holes for a brush disc 21. A pair of brush discs 21 are provided at the bottom of the U-shaped mounting base 18. The brush discs 21 are mounted on the U-shaped mounting base 18 through flanges 19. The two brush discs 21 rotate in opposite directions to offset the deflection force.

[0032] In other specific embodiments of the present invention, the rest are the same as the above embodiments, except that, Figure 6 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the connecting handle 2 is provided with an elastic locking mechanism, which includes a handle bar 201, a handle 202, a wing-shaped buckle 203, a spring 204, an axle pin 205 and a connecting piece 13; a groove 208 is formed on the handle bar 201, the axle pin 205 is inserted into the center of the wing-shaped buckle 203, a spring 204 is sleeved on the bottom of the axle pin 205, the axle pin 205 is set in the groove 208, and is fixed by the screw 206 after the pressing piece 207 is pressed, and the other end of the spring 204 is in contact with the internal baffle of the groove 208, and the pressing parts on both sides of the wing-shaped buckle 203 are exposed outside the handle bar 201; the handle 202 is fixed to the handle bar 201; the connecting piece 13 is set on the chassis 7, and a buckle groove 1301 is formed on the connecting piece, and a curved hook is formed at the bottom of the wing-shaped buckle 203, which is hooked on the buckle groove 1301 and locked by the spring 204. When the connecting handle 2 is rotated downward to a horizontal position, the hook at the bottom of the wing-shaped buckle 203 is hooked on the buckle groove 1301, and the spring 204 acts to lock the handle 201. At this time, the scrubber can be lifted by the handle 202. To unlock, press the wing-shaped buckle 203 and push it backward, so that the shaft pin 205 overcomes the resistance of the spring 204, and the handle 201 is separated from the connecting member 13. The handle 201 can then be rotated upward to rotate the connecting handle 2 to a vertical working position.

[0033] In other specific embodiments of the present invention, the rest are the same as the above embodiments, except that, Figure 9As shown, the bottom of the chassis 7 is provided with a squeegee mechanism 22; the squeegee mechanism comprises a squeegee 2201, a swing arm 2202, auxiliary wheels 2203, a plum nut 2204, and a screw 2205. The swing arm 2202 is connected to the rotating shaft of the rear main wheel 10, and the lower portion of the swing arm 2202 is connected to the squeegee 2201 via the plum nut 2204 and screw 2205. An auxiliary wheel 2203 is mounted on either side of the rear of the squeegee 2201. The auxiliary wheels 2203 help the squeegee 2201 remain upright, thereby achieving better water absorption. The swing arm 2202 is mounted on the axle of the rear main wheel 10, allowing the mechanism to swing up and down.

[0034] In other specific embodiments of the present invention, the rest are the same as the above embodiments, except that, Figure 1 As shown, the chassis 7 is provided with a clean water tank 12 and a sewage tank 9. The clean water tank 12 has a clean water tank cover 11 for replacing clean water. The water intake of the sewage tank 9 is connected to the water collection chamber of the drain head mechanism 22 via a suction hose 16. The sewage tank 9 is provided with a sewage tank cover 8 on top and a sewage drain pipe on the rear.

[0035] In other specific embodiments of the present invention, the rest are the same as the above embodiments, except that, Figure 1 and Figure 10 As shown, the chassis 7 is equipped with an exhaust system 15, which includes a vacuum motor base 1506, a vacuum motor 1505, a vacuum motor cover 1503, and a plastic tube 1501. The vacuum motor 1505 is mounted on the chassis 7 via the vacuum motor base 1506. The upper portion of the vacuum motor 1505 is connected to the sewage tank 9 via a silicone tube 1502 and a plastic tube 1501. The vacuum motor 1505 is sealed by a sealing ring 1504 and a vacuum motor cover 1503. When the vacuum motor 1505 is activated, air is drawn in from the top and exhausted from the motor's periphery. The various components fit together concentrically and tightly, greatly reducing the size of the machine, making it smaller and lighter. This system also ensures the exhaust system's tightness and improves water absorption efficiency.

[0036] In other specific embodiments of the present invention, the rest are the same as the above embodiments, except that, Figure 11As shown, the sewage tank 9 is equipped with a float system 14; the float system includes a float cover 1401, a T-tube 1402, a float 1403, and a suction pipe 1404. The lower end of the suction pipe 1404 is connected to a plastic pipe 1501. The float 1403 is connected to the suction pipe 1404 at one end and to the T-tube 1402 at the other end. The float cover 1401 is mounted on the T-tube 1402. The float system 14 is built into the sewage tank and tightly covered by the sewage tank cover 8. When the water level is low, the float 1403 falls. When the vacuum motor 1505 is activated, air is drawn into the vacuum motor 1505 through six small holes around the T-tube 1402 and then discharged from the vacuum motor. This creates a negative pressure in the sewage tank 9, allowing the scooping mechanism 22 to suck up sewage from the ground. As the water level rises, the float 1403 is lifted. When it reaches a certain height, the top of the float 1403 touches the lower part of the T-tube 1402, thereby closing the air intake and preventing sewage from being sucked into the vacuum motor 1505, thereby providing good protection for the motor.

[0037] In other specific embodiments of the present invention, the rest are the same as the above embodiments, except that, Figure 3 As shown, the brush disc 21 is provided with three layers of brush rings, which are concentrically arranged from the inside to the outside and have gaps between them.

[0039] In other specific embodiments of the present invention, the rest are the same as the above embodiments, except that, Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a front universal auxiliary wheel 20 is provided in the middle of the front side of the chassis 7. During travel, the front universal auxiliary wheel 20 provides guidance, while the rear main wheels 10 enable the floor scrubber to move. The brush plate 21, rear main wheels 10, and front universal auxiliary wheels 20 jointly bear the machine's pressure.

[0040] In other specific embodiments of the present invention, the rest are the same as the above embodiments, except that, Figure 2As shown, a recessed position for installing the hinge 3 is provided on the top of the chassis 4. The hinge 3 is installed in the recessed position of the chassis 4 to facilitate the installation and positioning of the connecting handle 2, and save space when the connecting handle 2 is rotated downward and folded.

[0041] The above embodiments are intended only to illustrate the technical concepts and features of the present invention. Their purpose is to enable those familiar with the art to understand the present invention and implement it accordingly. They are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.
