Referring to Figure 2 , the housing 110 can be provided with guide channels 112 on the front side and the rear side of the suction port 111, respectively, so as to achieve efficient dust cleaning when the cleaner head 100 moves forward and backward.

[0059] In some embodiments, the guide channel 112 can be arranged to taper in the direction close to the suction port 111, so as to facilitate the introduction of dust.

[0060] In some embodiments, the depth of the guide channel 112 can be arranged to gradually decrease in the direction close to the suction port 111, so as to facilitate the introduction of dust.

[0061] In some embodiments, the front side guide channel 112a and the rear side guide channel 112b can extend to the front side edge and the rear side edge of the housing 110, respectively, so as to improve the cleaning efficiency.

[0062] In some other embodiments, the housing 110 can be provided with the guide channels 112 only on the front side of the suction port 111 or on the rear side of the suction port 111.

[0063] In the illustrated embodiments, the front side guide channels 112a and the rear side guide channels 112b are both provided in multiple numbers to further improve the cleaning efficiency.

[0064] In particular, the suction port 111 can be provided with a seal 200 at the edge of the side provided with the guide channels 112, for improving the sealing of the cleaning head 100 and the surface to be cleaned in the direction away from the movement direction, reducing or even eliminating the influence of the guide channels 112 on the suction force, and thus improving the cleaning efficiency and cleaning effect of the vacuum cleaner.

[0065] In the embodiments in which the front side and the rear side of the suction port 111 are respectively provided with the guide channels 112, the front side edge and the rear side edge of the suction port 111 can be respectively provided with the front side seal 200a and the rear side seal 200b which are substantially the same in structure. When the cleaning head 100 is in a suspended state, the front side seal 200a and the rear side seal 200b are substantially mirror-symmetrical relative to the longitudinal central plane of the suction port 111.

[0066] Figure 3 is Figure 1 Fig. 2 is a schematic axonometric view of the seal 200. Referring to Fig. 2, the seal 200 can include at least one fixing portion 210, at least one channel sealing portion 220, and at least one bottom plate sealing portion 230. Figures 1 to 3

[0067] Specifically, the fixing portion 210 can be provided at the edge of the side of the suction port 111, for mounting the seal 200.

[0068] Each channel sealing portion 220 can be provided corresponding to one guide channel 112, for opening or blocking the corresponding guide channel 112.

[0069] The bottom plate sealing portion 230 can be used to contact the surface to be cleaned and drive the channel sealing portion 220 to deflect between the open position and the blocked position during the movement of the cleaning head 100.

[0070] The seal 200 of the utility model, through the contact and friction between the bottom plate sealing portion 230 and the surface to be cleaned during the movement of the cleaning head 100, drives the channel sealing portion 220 to deflect between the open position and the blocked position, not only the bottom plate sealing portion 230 keeps a certain degree of sealing with the surface to be cleaned, but also the channel sealing portion 220 can open the corresponding guide channel 112 when the suction port 111 moves towards the direction close to the seal 200, and block the corresponding guide channel 112 when the suction port 111 moves away from the seal 200, realizing the improvement of the sealing of the cleaning head 100 and the surface to be cleaned in the direction away from the movement direction.​

[0071] In some embodiments, the channel sealing portions 220 and the bottom plate sealing portions 230 can be arranged alternately in the width direction of the guide channels 112. That is, the projection of the channel sealing portions 220 in the length direction of the guide channels 112 is located within the guide channels 112, and the projection of the bottom plate sealing portions 230 in the length direction of the guide channels 112 is located between two adjacent guide channels 112 or between the guide channels 112 and the edge of the cleaning head 100, so as to avoid the bottom plate sealing portions 230 from blocking the guide channels 112 and to enable the dust to enter the suction port 111 completely from the guide channels 112, further improving the suction force of the cleaning head 100.

[0072] In embodiments in which the guide channels 112 are arranged on the front side and / or the rear side of the suction port 111, the length direction of the guide channels 112 is the front-rear direction of the cleaning head 100.

[0073] In other embodiments, the projection of the bottom plate sealing portions 230 in the length direction of the guide channels 112 can partially overlap the projection of the channel sealing portions 220 in the direction. That is, the projection of the bottom plate sealing portions 230 in the length direction of the guide channels 112 is also located within the guide channels 112, and can also achieve deflection of the channel sealing portions 220. For example, the plurality of bottom plate sealing portions 230 are uniformly spaced in the longitudinal direction of the channel sealing portions 220.

[0074] In some embodiments, the sealing member 200 can further include a connecting portion 240 connecting the fixed portion 210 and the channel sealing portions 220 and the bottom plate sealing portions 230, so as to facilitate installation of the sealing member 200 and to ensure the structural strength of the sealing member 200.

[0075] The connecting portion 240 can be divided into at least one first connecting segment 241 connected with the channel sealing portions 220 and at least one second connecting segment 242 connected with the bottom plate sealing portions 230 in the longitudinal direction of the connecting portion 240.

[0076] The size of the first connecting segment 241 in the extension direction of the connecting portion 240 relative to the fixed portion 210 can be smaller than the size of the second connecting segment 242 in the direction, so that the connecting portion 240 deforms under the force of the bottom plate sealing portions 230, and in turn drives the channel sealing portions 220 to deflect.

[0077] The bottom of the housing 110 can be formed with a mounting groove 113 with an opening facing the surface to be cleaned. The fixed portion 210 can be arranged in the mounting groove 113.

[0078] In embodiments in which the guide channels 112 are arranged on the front side and the rear side of the suction port 111, the front side periphery and the rear side periphery of the suction port 111 can be formed with a front side mounting groove 113a and a rear side mounting groove 113b, respectively.

[0079] In some embodiments, the fixing portion 210 can include a mounting strip 211 configured to cooperate with a mounting groove 113 of the cleaning head 100 to fix the seal 200 relative to the cleaning head 100.

[0080] A longitudinal middle portion of the mounting strip 211 can be configured to be connected to the connecting portion 240 to ensure the mounting of the seal 200 and improve the deformation reset ability of the connecting portion 240 relative to the mounting strip 211.

[0081] In some further embodiments, the fixing portion 210 can further include a positioning strip 212 disposed on a side of the mounting strip 211 away from the connecting portion 240.

[0082] A geometric center of the positioning strip 212 can be located on an extension line of a longitudinal central axis of the connecting portion 240 to make the fixing portion 210 cooperate more closely with the mounting groove 113, avoid the fixing portion 210 from being offset in the mounting groove 113, and further improve the structural strength and deformation ability of the seal 200.

[0083] The mounting groove 113 can include a receiving portion 1131 and a shape-fitting portion 1132. The receiving portion 1131 is configured to accommodate the mounting strip 211, and the shape-fitting portion 1132 is configured to be shaped-fitted with the positioning strip 212.

[0084] In some embodiments, the mounting groove 113 and its limiting structure can be configured to allow the fixing portion 210 to have a movement allowance in the height direction of the cleaning head 100 in the mounting groove 113. That is, the bottom plate sealing portion 230 exceeds the tangent plane of the traveling wheels of the cleaning head 100 when the cleaning head 100 is in a suspended state, so that the cleaning head 100 is in contact with the surface to be cleaned with appropriate pressure when placed on the surface to be cleaned, and the deformation of each part of the seal 200 is facilitated.

[0085] In some further embodiments, the positioning strip 212 can have a semicircular cross-section to facilitate the positioning strip 212 to slide into the shape-fitting portion 1132 of the mounting groove 113 when the cleaning head 100 is placed on the surface to be cleaned.

[0086] In some embodiments, a plurality of limiting protrusions 114 can be disposed on both sides of the opening of the mounting groove 113 in the transverse direction to limit the displacement of the seal 200 in the transverse direction while limiting the displacement of the seal 200 in the height direction of the cleaning head 100.

[0087] In some further embodiments, the plurality of limiting protrusions 114 can be disposed at positions corresponding to the bottom plate sealing portion 230 of the mounting groove 113 to avoid the limiting protrusions 114 interfering with the deflection of the channel sealing portion 220.

[0088] In some embodiments, the bottom plate seal part 230 can include a first support rib 231 and a second support rib 232 to facilitate the production and processing of the seal 200 and to smoothly switch the support rib in contact with the surface to be cleaned when the motion state of the cleaning head 100 changes.

[0089] The first support rib 231 can be arranged to be in contact with the surface to be cleaned and to place the passage seal part 220 in the open position when the motion direction of the cleaning head 100 is the same as the direction of the seal 200 relative to the dust inlet 111.

[0090] The second support rib 232 can be arranged to be in contact with the surface to be cleaned and to place the passage seal part 220 in the blocked position when the motion direction of the cleaning head 100 is opposite to the direction of the seal 200 relative to the dust inlet 111.

[0091] Figure 4 is Figure 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view of the cleaning head 100 when moving forward. Referring to Figure 4 When the cleaning head 100 moves forward, the first support rib 231 of the front seal part 200a is in contact with the surface to be cleaned, and the passage seal part 220 is in the open position to open the front guide passage 112a; the second support rib 232 of the rear seal part 200b is in contact with the surface to be cleaned, and the passage seal part 220 is in the blocked position to block the rear guide passage 112b.

[0092] Figure 5 is Figure 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view of the cleaning head 100 when moving backward. Referring to Figure 5 When the cleaning head 100 moves backward, the second support rib 232 of the front seal part 200a is in contact with the surface to be cleaned, and the passage seal part 220 is in the blocked position to block the front guide passage 112a; the first support rib 231 of the rear seal part 200b is in contact with the surface to be cleaned, and the passage seal part 220 is in the open position to open the rear guide passage 112b.

[0093] In some further embodiments, the projections of the first support rib 231 and the passage seal part 220 in the length direction of the guide passage 112 can be arranged on the two sides of the second support rib 232, respectively, which is beneficial to the deformation and resetting of the seal 200 and the deflection of each seal part.

[0094] The passage seal part 220 can be arranged to extend in an arc shape away from the second support rib 232, so that the passage seal part 220 can cooperate with the opening periphery of the mounting groove 113 of the cleaning head 100 to achieve the maximum opening of the guide passage 112.

[0095] The angle a between the channel sealing portion 220 and the projection of the second support rib 232 in the longitudinal direction of the seal 200 can be 30°-60°, for example, 30°, 40°, 50°, 55°, 60°, to ensure that the bottom plate sealing portion 230 effectively drives the channel sealing portion 220 to deflect.

[0096] The angle β between the first support rib 231 and the projection of the second support rib 232 in the longitudinal direction of the seal 200 can be less than the angle a between the channel sealing portion 220 and the projection of the second support rib 232 in the longitudinal direction of the seal 200, to reduce the deformation of the first support rib 231 relative to the second support rib 232.

[0097] The above-mentioned angle is the angle of the first support rib 231, the second support rib 232, and the channel sealing portion 220 relative to the central axis of the extension direction of the connecting portion 240.

[0098] The bottom end of the first support rib 231 can form a concave-convex surface, to facilitate the deflection of the first support rib 231 under the frictional action of the surface to be cleaned.

[0099] In some further embodiments, the second support rib 232 can be arranged to extend as a fold line relative to the connecting portion 240. The channel sealing portion 220 can be arranged to be coplanar with a segment of the second support rib 232, to move together with the second support rib 232.

[0100] In some further embodiments, the bottom plate sealing portion 230 can be in the shape of a sector, and the bottom curved surface thereof can roll relative to the surface to be cleaned when the cleaning head 100 changes the motion state, to drive the channel sealing portion 220 to deflect.
