[0029] It is easy to understand that according to the technical solution of the present invention, without changing the essential spirit of the present invention, a person skilled in the art can propose a variety of interchangeable structural methods and implementation methods. Therefore, the following specific embodiments and drawings are only illustrative of the technical solution of the present invention and should not be regarded as the entire present invention or as a limitation or restriction of the technical solution of the present invention.

[0030] like Figure 1, which shows a cleaning mop 100 having a mop handle 1 at the top and a mop head 2 at the bottom. A power broom tool 3 is attached to the front of the mop head 2. When the cleaning mop 100 is moved across the floor, the mop head 2 wipes the floor, while the power broom tool 3 sweeps away debris. The power broom tool 3 is configured to be detachably attached to the mop head 2 of the cleaning mop 100 for use.

[0031] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the electric broom tool 3 includes a housing 31, a trash container 32, a roller brush 33, a drive device (not shown) consisting of a motor and transmission assembly, a battery unit (not shown), a motor switch 34, and a pair of clamping arms 35 and 36. In this example, the motor switch 34 is located at the top of the housing 31 and allows the user to start or stop the motor. The motor switch 31 can be designed for manual operation, such as a push-button switch, or for foot operation, such as a foot switch.

[0032] The front portion of the housing 31 defines a roller brush chamber 311 having a lower opening 3111. The roller brush 33 is mounted within the roller brush chamber 311, with some of its bristles extending through the lower opening 3111 and capable of contacting the floor being cleaned. The portion of the housing 31 that forms the upper portion of the roller brush chamber 311 is made of a transparent material, allowing the user to observe the operation of the roller brush 33.

[0033] The trash box 32 defines a trash receiving chamber 321 having a front opening 322. The front opening 322 is located behind the roller brush 33 and adjacent to the roller brush 32. The front opening 322 fluidically connects the trash receiving chamber 321 with the roller brush chamber 311. When the roller brush 32 is driven to rotate about its own axis, it can sweep trash on the floor to be cleaned into the trash receiving chamber 321 through the front opening 322.

[0034] The clamping arms 35 and 36 are both provided at the rear of the housing 31 and are distributed left and right. The clamping arms 35 and 36 are configured to engage with the mop head 2. The electric broom tool 3 can be detachably attached to the mop head 2 of the cleaning mop 100 by means of the pair of clamping arms 35 and 36.

[0035] The clamping arms 35 and 36 are provided with soft rubber pads 351 and 361 for contacting the mop head 2. When the clamping arms 35 and 36 are respectively engaged with the mop head 2, the soft rubber pads 351 and 361 can improve the fit between the clamping arms and the mop head and prevent damage to the surfaces of the two.

[0036] Continue as Figure 3As shown, the mop head 2 includes a housing 21 for supporting a disposable cleaning sheet (not shown). The top of the housing 21 is provided with left and right bosses 23 and 24. The lower portion of the mop handle 1 is rotatably connected to the bosses 23 and 24. The electric broom tool 3 can be detachably connected to the bosses 23 and 24. When the electric broom tool 3 is connected to the bosses 23 and 24, the soft rubber pad 351 is in close contact with the boss 23, and the soft rubber pad 361 is in close contact with the boss 24. In some embodiments, the soft rubber pad 351 and / or the soft rubber pad 361 can be omitted.

[0037] When the electric broom tool 3 is connected to the bosses 23 and 24 , the electric broom tool 35 is located at the front side of the mop head 2 and a portion of the electric broom tool 3 is superimposed over the front portion of the mop head 2 .

[0038] like Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a clamping arm 35 is fixed to the rear of the housing 31, and a clamping arm 36 is rotatably disposed relative to the housing 31. An engaging mechanism 37 is disposed between the clamping arm 35 and the clamping arm 36 to secure the two arms to each other. In this example, the engaging mechanism 37 is a latch mechanism and includes a pin 371 with one end rotatably disposed with the clamping arm 36, a slot 372 located on the clamping arm 35 and adapted to fit within the pin 371, and a locking block 373 rotatably disposed at the other end of the pin 371.

[0039] Joining Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, when the electric broom tool 3 needs to be installed on the mop head 2, the clamping arm 35 is first placed outside the boss 23, then rotated to the boss 24, the latch 371 is inserted into the slot 372, and the locking block 373 is rotated to complete the installation of the electric broom tool 3 on the mop head 2. The soft rubber pad 351 and the soft rubber pad 361 are in close contact with the boss 23 and the boss 24 respectively. If the user needs to remove the electric broom tool 3 from the mop head 2, the user first rotates the locking block 373 in the opposite direction, then removes the latch 371 from the slot 372, and then rotates the clamping arm 36 in the opposite direction to separate it from the boss 24. The electric broom tool 3 can be removed.

[0040] See also Figure 9-12, which illustrates another embodiment of an electric broom tool; in this example, the electric broom tool 30 has a different structure from the electric broom tool 3 described above, primarily in the different shapes of the clamping arms 350 and 360, and the different structure of the engaging mechanism 370. In this example, the clamping arm 360 is arcuate, with one end pivotally mounted relative to the housing 310. The engaging mechanism 370 includes a slot 3701 disposed at the other end of the clamping arm 360 and a locking block 3702 fixed to the clamping arm 350. When the locking block 3702 is inserted into the slot 3701, the clamping arms 360 and 370 are secured to each other, and the soft rubber pads 3501 and 3601 are in close contact with the bosses 23 and 24, respectively. Similarly, the electric broom tool 30 can be removed from the mop head 2 by reversing the operation.

[0041] See also Figure 13 , which shows a third embodiment of an electric broom tool. In this example, the electric broom tool 300 has a different structure from the electric broom tools 3 and 30 described above. The difference in structure is mainly reflected in the different shapes of the clamping arms 45 and 46, and the lack of a snap mechanism. Figure 13 As shown in FIG, the clamping arms 45 and 46 are fixed to the housing 41 of the electric broom tool 300. The clamping arms 45 and 46 can be directly interference-fitted with the bosses 23 and 24 via soft rubber pads 451 and 461 in between, thereby securing the clamping arms 45 and 46 by friction. Compared to the above-mentioned electric broom tools 3 and 30, this solution is more convenient to install and remove. However, due to the unreliability of friction fixation, it is easier to detach from the mop head 2 than the electric broom tools 3 and 30.

[0042] The technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the contents of the above description. Those skilled in the art can make various deformations and modifications to the above embodiments without departing from the technical concept of the present invention, and these deformations and modifications should all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
