Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of cleaning equipment technology, and in particular to a floor brush assembly, cleaning equipment and cleaning system. Background Technology

[0002] Cleaning equipment such as floor scrubbers have become essential tools for maintaining clean floors. These devices are typically equipped with roller brushes to clean dirt, dust, and other impurities from floors.

[0003] However, roller brushes easily get tangled in hair and fibers from the floor. Hair entangled in the roller brush not only reduces cleaning efficiency, but long hair and other fibrous materials can also accumulate in the floor scrubber's air ducts or wastewater tank, making cleaning difficult. This debris can clog the air ducts, reducing suction and cleaning effectiveness, and may even cause wear or damage to other parts of the machine. Cleaning these blockages usually requires disassembling the machine, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, hindering routine maintenance for users. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application provides a floor brush assembly, cleaning equipment, and cleaning system. The hair removal mechanism captures and collects the hair wrapped around the roller brush mechanism and cuts it off by heat. The long hair is cut off and then cut into short hair, reducing the impact of the long hair on the floor brush assembly. This makes it more convenient for users to clean and maintain the cleaning equipment, and improves user satisfaction.

[0005] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a floor brush assembly, comprising: a floor brush body having a cleaning chamber; a roller brush mechanism rotatably disposed in the cleaning chamber for cleaning a surface to be cleaned; and a hair removal mechanism disposed on the rear side of the roller brush mechanism, the hair removal mechanism comprising: a rotating drum rotatably connected to the floor brush body; a hair capturing assembly for capturing hair from the roller brush mechanism; and a hair burning assembly for burning off the hair captured by the hair capturing assembly; the hair capturing assembly and the hair burning assembly are both disposed on the rotating drum and are spaced apart circumferentially along the rotating drum.

[0006] The floor brush assembly of this application, when moving on the ground, features a rotating roller brush mechanism that cleans the surface. Simultaneously, the hair removal mechanism begins operation, its rotating drum rotating and causing the hair-catching component to rotate synchronously. Upon contact with the roller brush mechanism, the hair-catching component collects tangled hair and winds it onto the rotating drum. At this point, the hair-cutting component contacts the long hair tangled on the rotating drum and uses its high temperature to cut the hair, shortening its length to approximately 2-5 cm. This shortened hair is less likely to entangle on the roller brush and is easily removed by the suction pipe. This not only reduces hair entanglement on the roller brush mechanism, allowing it to maintain high cleaning efficiency, but also makes it easier for the shorter hair to be collected by the wastewater tank and other collection devices, reducing the risk of clogging the cleaning equipment's air ducts. Users also do not need to frequently disassemble the floor brush assembly to clean the hair, reducing maintenance frequency and improving user satisfaction. Furthermore, by integrating the hair capture and hair cutting components onto the rotating drum, the entire hair processing process becomes more compact and efficient. The drum's rotation allows for continuous hair processing. The hair capture and cutting components are spaced circumferentially along the drum, ensuring uniform hair capture and processing during rotation, thus improving coverage and efficiency. The fusion-cutting method allows for rapid hair cutting, offering faster and more effective processing compared to mechanical cutting, especially suitable for handling tough and difficult-to-process hair. Moreover, fusion technology reduces reliance on mechanical parts, lowering wear and maintenance requirements and extending equipment lifespan.

[0007] In some embodiments, the rotating drum and the brush mechanism rotate in opposite directions.

[0008] Thus, the opposite rotation direction helps the hair processing mechanism pull the hair out of the roller brush mechanism, improving collection efficiency.

[0009] According to some embodiments of this application, the hair capturing component and the hair cutting component are both multiple components distributed at intervals along the circumference of the rotating drum, and the hair capturing component and the hair cutting component are alternately distributed along the circumference of the rotating drum.

[0010] By incorporating multiple hair-capturing components and corresponding hair-cutting components on the rotating drum, the entire hair processing can be performed simultaneously at multiple points. This multi-point processing method improves the efficiency and speed of hair treatment. Because the components are spaced circumferentially along the drum, the rotating drum can uniformly capture and process the hair on the roller brush during rotation. This design ensures that the hair treatment mechanism can operate continuously and efficiently throughout the cleaning process. Furthermore, the multiple sets of hair-cutting components provide redundancy for their interaction with the hair-capturing components; even if one set fails, the other sets can continue to operate, ensuring the reliability and stability of the hair treatment mechanism. In addition, the alternating distribution design allows for seamless connection between the hair-capturing and cutting processes during drum rotation. The hair-capturing components first grab the hair, followed by the hair-cutting components cutting and processing it, facilitating continuous and efficient hair treatment. Simultaneously, the alternating distribution design allows for more efficient use of space on the drum, avoiding interference between the hair-capturing and hair-cutting components and ensuring that each component functions at its maximum potential.

[0011] According to some embodiments of this application, the hair-burning assembly includes: a fixing frame extending axially along the rotating drum and fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating drum; and a heating element extending axially along the rotating drum, fixed to the fixing frame, the heating element being used to generate heat to melt and burn the hair.

[0012] Thus, the fixing frame extends axially along the rotating drum and is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the drum. The function of the fixing frame is to provide stable support and a fixed position for the heating element, ensuring that the heating element can effectively perform its function. The heating element extends axially along the rotating drum and is fixed to the fixing frame. The heating element is the core component of the hair-cutting assembly, achieving hair melting and cutting through heating. The heating element can be a resistance wire, heating coil, or other suitable heating element.

[0013] According to some embodiments of this application, the fixing frame includes a plurality of clamping portions distributed along the axial direction of the rotating cylinder, and the plurality of clamping portions respectively clamp the heating element.

[0014] By fixing the heating element with multiple clamping parts, it is ensured that the heating element does not shift or vibrate when the drum rotates, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the melting process. The design of multiple clamping parts helps to keep the heating element flat and evenly distributed, ensuring the uniformity of the heating process and improving the efficiency of hair melting.

[0015] According to some embodiments of this application, the floor brush body includes: a floor brush housing, with the cleaning cavity opened at the front of the floor brush housing; a floor brush side cover, disposed on one side of the cleaning cavity in the left-right direction and connected to the floor brush housing; the rotating drum includes: a drum body, the drum body being open at least at one end facing the floor brush side cover, and the hair-cutting component being disposed on the drum body; a first end cap, sealing the open end of the drum body and rotatably engaging with the floor brush side cover.

[0016] By designing the brush housing, side cover, rotating drum, and end cap as independent modules, the installation and maintenance of the entire assembly are simplified. Users can easily disassemble and replace individual parts, reducing the maintenance cost of the brush assembly. The hair-cutting component on the drum body can efficiently handle hair, reducing tangling and clogging, and improving the cleaning efficiency of the brush assembly.

[0017] According to some embodiments of this application, the first end cap is provided with a receiving cavity recessed along the axial direction of the rotating drum; the floor brush body further includes: a power supply module, the power supply module is fixed to the side cover of the floor brush and extends into the receiving cavity, the power supply module is used to electrically connect with the power supply device of the cleaning equipment; the hair treatment mechanism further includes: an electrical connector, disposed on the rotating drum, the electrical connector is used to electrically connect the power supply module and the hair cutting component.

[0018] Thus, by integrating the power supply module and electrical connectors between the brush side cover and the rotating drum, efficient power transmission is achieved, ensuring a continuous and stable power supply to the hair-burning component. The recessed receiving cavity of the first end cover also provides additional protection for the electrical connection, preventing external environmental factors such as dust and moisture from affecting the power supply module.

[0019] According to some embodiments of this application, the power supply module includes: a fixed conductive member and a movable conductive member. The fixed conductive member is fixedly disposed on the side cover of the ground brush and is used for electrical connection with the power supply device. The movable conductive member is fixedly connected to the first end cover and is rotatably engaged with the fixed conductive member. The movable conductive member is electrically connected to the fixed conductive member and the electrical connector respectively.

[0020] The rotatable design of the fixed and movable conductive parts improves the stability of the electrical connection during the rotation of the fixed and movable conductive parts, reduces wear and poor contact caused by friction, improves the reliability of the circuit that powers the hair cutting component, and ensures that power can be continuously and stably transmitted to the hair cutting component during the rotation of the drum to cut the hair captured by the hair cutting component.

[0021] According to some embodiments of this application, the floor brush side cover includes a first region and a second region distributed along the front-back direction. The first region is used to connect with the floor brush housing, and the second region is used to connect with the rotating drum. The floor brush body also includes a conductive snap fastener and a conductive connecting wire. The conductive snap fastener is fixedly disposed in the first region to be electrically connected to a power supply device disposed in the floor brush housing. One end of the conductive connecting wire is connected to the conductive snap fastener, and the other end extends to the second region and is electrically connected to the fixed conductive member.

[0022] On the one hand, by distributing the conductive spring clips and conductive connecting wires in the first and second areas of the brush side cover, a modular design of the components is achieved, facilitating the assembly and maintenance of the brush assembly. The conductive spring clips provide a stable electrical connection interface, reducing contact problems caused by vibration or movement and improving circuit reliability. Thus, the combination of conductive spring clips and conductive connecting wires ensures stable power transmission from the power supply unit to the hair processing mechanism, improving the hair processing effect.

[0023] According to some embodiments of this application, the cylinder body is provided with a wiring channel.

[0024] The electrical connector is located in the wiring channel and has a lead-out section that passes through the tube body and is electrically connected to the hair-curling assembly.

[0025] In this way, the electrical connectors will connect the fixed conductive parts and the hair burning component, thereby improving the reliability of the electrical conductivity of the hair burning component.

[0026] According to some embodiments of this application, the rotating drum is provided with a mounting groove extending along its own axial direction, and the hair capturing assembly includes: a brush strip, the brush strip being fixedly disposed in the mounting groove, and the brush strip being adapted to contact the roller brush mechanism when the rotating drum rotates, so as to capture the hair wrapped around the roller brush mechanism.

[0027] In this way, the brush bar, through direct contact with the roller brush mechanism, can effectively capture and remove tangled hair, reducing hair accumulation and tangling on the roller brush. The modular design of the brush bar makes its installation and replacement easier, allowing users to easily maintain and replace it as needed.

[0028] According to some embodiments of this application, the roller brush mechanism includes a roller brush, the diameter of which is larger than the diameter of the rotating drum.

[0029] The larger diameter of the roller brush allows for better contact with the floor, increasing cleaning area and efficiency, especially when dealing with carpets and other fibrous surfaces. Because the roller brush's diameter is larger than the drum, it can more easily capture hair on the floor and transfer it to the hair-catching components on the drum for processing. This allows the drum to focus on hair removal while the roller brush handles the primary cleaning task, thus optimizing the overall functionality of the floor brush assembly.

[0030] According to some embodiments of this application, the roller brush mechanism includes a roller brush, and the hair-burning component never comes into contact with the roller brush when the drum rotates.

[0031] In this way, by keeping the hair-burning component and the roller brush from contacting each other while the drum rotates, damage to the roller brush by the hair-burning component is avoided, thus extending the service life of the equipment.

[0032] According to some embodiments of this application, the hair processing mechanism further includes a drive member disposed inside the rotating drum and used to drive the rotating drum to rotate. Thus, by driving the rotating drum to rotate via the drive member, the hair-capturing assembly's hair-capturing process becomes more reliable.

[0033] Secondly, this application also provides a cleaning device, including the aforementioned floor brush assembly.

[0034] The cleaning equipment of this application, by using the aforementioned floor brush assembly, specifically collects and cuts the hair entangled on the roller brush mechanism during the cleaning process, reducing the occurrence of hair entanglement on the roller brush mechanism. This allows the roller brush mechanism to maintain efficient cleaning performance continuously, thereby avoiding motor overload caused by hair entanglement and extending the service life of the cleaning equipment. Users also do not need to frequently disassemble and clean the hair, reducing the frequency of maintenance of the cleaning equipment and improving user satisfaction.

[0035] Thirdly, this application also provides a cleaning system, comprising:

[0036] The aforementioned cleaning equipment;

[0037] A cleaning base station, wherein when the cleaning equipment is placed on the cleaning base station, the cleaning base station is used at least for cleaning the roller brush mechanism of the cleaning equipment.

[0038] The cleaning system of this application, by using the aforementioned cleaning equipment, reduces the occurrence of hair entanglement in the roller brush mechanism, lowers the cleaning difficulty of the floor brush components, and allows users to place the cleaning equipment at the cleaning base station after completing the cleaning task. The cleaning base station then activates to thoroughly clean the roller brush mechanism, reducing the frequency of users manually cleaning the hair on the roller brush mechanism and thus improving user satisfaction.

[0049] The accompanying drawings illustrate specific embodiments of this application, which will be described in more detail below. These drawings and descriptions are not intended to limit the scope of the concept in any way, but rather to illustrate the concept of this application to those skilled in the art through reference to particular embodiments. Detailed Implementation

[0050] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this application as detailed in the appended claims.

[0051] When existing floor scrubbers move and clean, the roller brush easily gets caught in hair and fibers from the floor. This entanglement not only reduces cleaning efficiency but can also lead to more serious problems such as motor overload and burnout. Hair and other fibrous materials also accumulate in the scrubber's air ducts, making cleaning difficult. These debris can clog the ducts, reducing suction and cleaning effectiveness, and may cause wear or damage to other parts of the machine. Cleaning these blockages usually requires disassembling the machine, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, hindering routine maintenance for users.

[0052] In view of this, embodiments of this application provide a floor brush assembly, cleaning equipment, and cleaning system. The hair removal mechanism captures and collects the hair entangled on the roller brush mechanism and processes it, reducing the impact of hair on the floor brush assembly. This makes cleaning and maintenance of the cleaning equipment more convenient for users and improves user satisfaction.

[0053] refer to Figures 1 to 4 In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a floor brush assembly 100, which may include: a floor brush body 110, a roller brush mechanism 120, and a hair removal mechanism 130.

[0054] The main body 110 of the floor brush has a cleaning chamber 111, which is the basic structure of the entire floor brush assembly 100, providing space for the installation and support of other components. The roller brush mechanism 120 is rotatably disposed in the cleaning chamber 111 and is responsible for the physical cleaning of the surface to be cleaned. The rotational movement of the roller brush mechanism 120 can effectively remove dirt and impurities from the floor.

[0055] The hair treatment mechanism 130 is rotatably disposed in the cleaning chamber 111. The hair treatment mechanism 130 is located behind the roller brush mechanism 120 to collect and treat the hair rolled by the roller brush mechanism 120, so as to prevent the hair from getting tangled on the roller brush mechanism 120.

[0056] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The hair processing mechanism 130 may include: a rotating drum 133, a hair capturing assembly 131, and a hair cutting assembly 132.

[0057] The rotating drum 133 is located on the rear side of the roller brush mechanism 120 and is rotatably connected to the floor brush body 110. The hair capturing component 131 and the hair cutting component 132 are both located on the rotating drum 133.

[0058] The hair-catching assembly 131 is used to catch hair from the roller brush mechanism 120. Exemplarily, the hair-catching assembly 131 may include the brush bar 1311 described below or a plurality of spaced-apart brush teeth, such that the hair-catching assembly 131 catches hair as the roller brush mechanism 120 rotates.

[0059] The hair-burning component 132 is used to melt and break the hair captured by the hair-catching component 131. After the hair-catching component 131 captures the hair, the hair-burning component 132 melts and breaks the hair by high temperature. For example, the hair-burning component 132 may include a resistance wire or a heating wire. During the operation of the floor brush component 100, the resistance wire or heating wire is heated to a temperature that melts the hair (such as 120 degrees Celsius to 150 degrees Celsius). The hair-catching component 131 captures and collects the hair on the rotating drum 133, and the heated resistance wire or heating wire melts and breaks.

[0060] By using a fusion-splitting method, hair can be quickly separated. Compared to mechanical cutting, fusion-splitting can process hair more rapidly and effectively, especially suitable for handling tough and difficult-to-handle hair. Furthermore, the fusion-splitting solution reduces reliance on mechanical parts, thereby reducing component wear and maintenance requirements and extending the lifespan of the floor brush assembly 100.

[0061] By integrating the hair-capturing assembly 131 and the hair-cutting assembly 132 onto the rotating drum 133, the entire hair processing process becomes more compact and efficient. The rotational motion of the drum 133 allows the hair processing to be completed in a continuous process. The hair-capturing assembly 131 and the hair-cutting assembly 132 are distributed circumferentially along the rotating drum 133, ensuring that the hair can be captured and processed evenly as the drum 133 rotates, which helps to improve the coverage and efficiency of hair processing.

[0062] The floor brush assembly 100 of this application, when moving on the ground, features a rotating brush mechanism 120 that performs a cleaning operation. Simultaneously, a hair removal mechanism 130 activates, with a hair capture component 131 actively collecting tangled hair from the brush mechanism 120. Subsequently, a hair-cutting component 132 melts and breaks the collected hair, shortening its length and preventing accumulation on the brush mechanism 120. This reduces hair entanglement in the brush mechanism 120, allowing it to maintain consistently high cleaning performance. The shorter hair is more easily collected by the cleaning equipment's wastewater tank or other collection devices, reducing the likelihood of clogged air ducts. Users also avoid frequent disassembly of the floor brush assembly 100 to remove hair, reducing maintenance frequency and improving user satisfaction.

[0063] In some embodiments, the rotating drum 133 and the brush mechanism 120 rotate in opposite directions. This opposite rotation helps the hair treatment mechanism 130 pull hair out of the brush mechanism 120, improving collection efficiency. The rotating drum 133 and the brush mechanism 120 can rotate at the same speed or at different speeds.

[0064] Optionally, in this embodiment, the floor brush assembly 100 may also be provided with a suction device responsible for collecting the hair cut by the hair processing mechanism 130. When the rotating drum 133 and the roller brush mechanism 120 rotate in opposite directions, it is beneficial for the suction device to collect the cut hair. If the rotating drum 133 and the roller brush mechanism 120 rotate in the same direction, since the rear end of the roller brush mechanism 120 is opposite to the front end, the hair captured by the hair capturing assembly 131 and the hair on the roller brush mechanism 120 move in opposite directions, which is not conducive to collection.

[0065] However, in other embodiments of this application, the hair processing mechanism 130 and the roller brush mechanism 120 can rotate in the same direction. The hair captured by the hair capture component 131 moves in the opposite direction to the hair on the roller brush mechanism 120, which is more efficient in collecting hair. However, it requires a certain structural design of the suction device, such as designing multiple suction ports, which will not be described in detail in this application.

[0066] According to some embodiments of this application, both the hair-catching component 131 and the hair-cutting component 132 can be multiple components spaced apart circumferentially along the rotating drum 133. By providing multiple hair-catching components 131 and corresponding multiple hair-cutting components 132 on the rotating drum 133, the entire hair processing process can be carried out simultaneously at multiple points, which is beneficial to improving the efficiency and speed of hair processing.

[0067] Because the components are spaced apart circumferentially along the rotating drum 133, the drum 133 can uniformly capture and process hair on the roller brush 121 when rotating, allowing the hair processing mechanism 130 to work continuously and efficiently throughout the cleaning process. Furthermore, the multiple sets of hair-cutting components 132 provide redundancy for their cooperation with the hair-capturing components 131. Even if one set fails, the other sets of hair-cutting components 132 and hair-capturing components 131 can continue to operate, ensuring the reliability and stability of the hair processing mechanism 130 in processing hair.

[0068] According to some embodiments of this application, the hair capturing component 131 and the hair cutting component 132 are alternately distributed along the circumference of the rotating drum 133.

[0069] By alternating the distribution of the hair-capturing component 131 and the hair-cutting component 132, during the rotation of the drum 133, the hair-capturing component 131 first grabs the hair, followed by the hair-cutting component 132 cutting and processing it, which facilitates the continuity and efficiency of hair processing. Simultaneously, the alternating distribution design allows for more effective use of the space on the drum 133, avoiding interference between the hair-capturing component 131 and the hair-cutting component 132.

[0070] refer to Figure 2 According to some embodiments of this application, the hair-burning assembly 132 may include a fixing frame 1321 and a heating element 1322. The fixing frame 1321 extends axially along the rotating drum 133 and is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating drum 133. The fixing frame 1321 provides stable support and a fixed position for the heating element 1322, ensuring that the heating element 1322 can effectively perform its function. The heating element 1322 extends axially along the rotating drum 133 and is fixed to the fixing frame 1321. The heating element 1322 is used to generate heat to melt and burn the hair. The hair is burned by heating the heating element 1322. Exemplarily, the heating element 1322 may include, but is not limited to, a resistance wire, a heating coil, or other suitable heating elements.

[0071] It should be noted that at least a portion of the structure of the heating element 1322 protrudes radially from the fixing frame 1321 along the rotating cylinder 133, so that the hair captured by the hair capturing assembly 131 is melted by the heating element 1322, thereby improving the reliability of the hair processing mechanism 130.

[0072] refer to Figure 2According to some embodiments of this application, the fixing frame 1321 includes a plurality of clamping portions 1321a distributed along the axial direction of the rotating cylinder 133, each clamping a heating element 1322. Exemplarily, the clamping portion 1321a may be a strip extending along the axial direction of the rotating cylinder 133. The side of the clamping portion 1321a opposite to the rotating cylinder 133 has an exposure cavity. The exposure cavities of the plurality of clamping portions 1321a are spaced apart along the axial direction of the rotating cylinder 133, and the exposed cavities have mounting holes on opposite side walls along the axial direction of the rotating cylinder 133, through which the heating element 1322 passes. The exposure cavity includes, but is not limited to, a U-shaped groove, a V-shaped groove, or other forms of notch, so that hair captured by the hair-catching assembly 131 can contact and melt with the heating element 1322.

[0073] In this way, by fixing the heating element 1322 with multiple clamping parts 1321a, it is ensured that the heating element 1322 does not shift or vibrate when the rotating drum 133 rotates, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the melting process. Furthermore, the design of multiple clamping parts 1321a helps to keep the heating element 1322 flat and evenly distributed, ensuring the uniformity of the heating process and improving the efficiency of hair melting.

[0074] refer to Figure 1 According to some embodiments of this application, the floor brush body 110 may include: a floor brush housing 112 and a floor brush side cover 113.

[0075] The brush housing 112 is the main structural part of the entire brush assembly 100. A cleaning chamber 111 is located at the front of the brush housing 112 and houses the roller brush mechanism 120 and the hair removal mechanism 130. A side cover 113 is located on one side of the cleaning chamber 111 along the left-right direction and is connected to the brush housing 112. The design of the side cover 113 facilitates the installation and maintenance of the roller brush mechanism 120 and the hair removal mechanism 130, while also providing protection for them.

[0076] refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The rotating drum 133 may include a drum body 1331 and a first end cap 1332. At least one end of the drum body 1331 facing the floor brush side cover 113 is open, and the hair-cutting component 132 is disposed on the drum body 1331. The first end cap 1332 covers the open end of the drum body 1331 and is rotatably engaged with the floor brush side cover 113. The design of the first end cap 1332 allows the rotating drum 133 to rotate freely during the cleaning process, while ensuring a tight fit with the floor brush side cover 113 to prevent dust and debris from entering.

[0077] By designing the floor brush housing 112, side cover, rotating drum 133, and end cap as independent modules, the installation and maintenance of the entire assembly are simplified. Users can easily disassemble and replace individual parts, reducing the maintenance cost of the floor brush assembly 100. The hair-cutting component 132 on the drum body 1331 can efficiently handle hair, reducing tangling in the roller brush mechanism 120 and clogging of the air ducts of the cleaning equipment, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency of the floor brush assembly 100.

[0078] Optionally, in other embodiments, a transmission structure may be provided at one end of the cylinder body 1331 away from the side cover 113 of the floor brush. The transmission structure can be connected to the drive component of the roller brush mechanism 120 so that the hair treatment mechanism 130 and the roller brush mechanism 120 operate synchronously. Of course, the transmission structure can also have an independent drive mechanism, which can be designed according to specific needs.

[0079] A second end cap may also be provided at the end of the rotating drum 133 opposite to the end cap 1332. The surfaces of the first end cap 1332 and the second end cap opposite to each other may have slots. Both ends of the rotating drum 133 are located in the slots, and both ends of the fixing bracket 1321 may also be inserted into the slots respectively. This further improves the installation stability of the fixing bracket 1321.

[0080] refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 According to some embodiments of this application, the first end cap 1332 has a recessed receiving cavity 1332a along the axial direction of the rotating cylinder 133. The receiving cavity 1332a can be used to receive and protect electrical connection components (such as the power supply module 114 described below).

[0081] The floor brush body 110 may also include a power supply module 114, which is fixed to the floor brush side cover 113 and extends into the receiving cavity 1332a. The power supply module 114 is used to electrically connect to the power supply device of the cleaning equipment.

[0082] The hair treatment mechanism 130 may also include an electrical connector 134, which is disposed on the rotating drum 133. The electrical connector 134 is used to electrically connect the power supply module 114 and the hair cutting component 132. For example, the electrical connector 134 may include a connecting wire harness or a conductive metal part. The power supply device of the cleaning equipment supplies power to the hair cutting component 132 in sequence through the power supply module 114 and the electrical connector 134.

[0083] Thus, by integrating the power supply module 114 and electrical connector 134 between the brush side cover 113 and the rotating drum 133, efficient power transmission is achieved, ensuring that the hair-burning component 132 can continuously receive a stable power supply. The recessed receiving cavity 1332a of the first end cover 1332 also provides additional protection for the electrical connection, preventing the influence of the external environment on the power supply module 114, such as dust and moisture.

[0084] refer to Figure 3 According to some embodiments of this application, the power supply module 114 may include a fixed conductive member 1141 and a movable conductive member 1142. The fixed conductive member 1141 is fixedly disposed on the side cover 113 of the floor brush and is electrically connected to the power supply device of the cleaning equipment to provide power input to the hair-burning assembly 132. The fixed conductive member 1141 is fixed to the side cover 113 of the floor brush to ensure the stability of the electrical connection with the power supply device of the cleaning equipment. The movable conductive member 1142 is fixedly connected to the first end cover 1332 and is rotatably engaged with the fixed conductive member 1141. The movable conductive member 1142 is electrically connected to both the fixed conductive member 1141 and the electrical connector 134.

[0085] For example, the brush side cover 113 has a first groove or a first snap-fit ​​structure to fix the fixed conductive member 1141 to the brush side cover 113, and the first end cover 1332 has a second groove or a second snap-fit ​​structure to fix the movable conductive member 1142 to the first end cover 1332. When the hair processing mechanism 130 is installed on the brush side cover 113, the brush side cover 113 has a limiting effect on the axial movement of the rotating drum 133. In other words, the fixed conductive member 1141 fixed on the brush side cover 113 and the movable conductive member 1142 fixed on the first end cover 1332 do not have relative movement along the axial direction of the rotating drum 133.

[0086] The movable conductive element 1142 and the fixed conductive element 1141 are rotatably coupled. Specifically, the power supply module 114 can be a conductive slip ring, the fixed conductive element 1141 can be the stator terminal of the conductive slip ring, and the movable conductive element 1142 can be the rotor terminal of the conductive slip ring. The power supply device of the cleaning equipment is electrically connected to the stator terminal. The rotor terminal has a positive terminal and a negative terminal, which are connected to the two ends of the heating element 1322 of the hair-burning assembly 132 via electrical connectors 134.

[0087] The rotatable design of the fixed conductive element 1141 and the movable conductive element 1142 improves the stability of the electrical connection during the rotation of the fixed conductive element 1141 and the movable conductive element 1142, improves the reliability of the circuit that supplies power to the hair cutting component 132, and ensures that power can be continuously and stably transmitted to the hair cutting component 132 during the rotation of the drum 133 to cut the hair captured by the hair cutting component 132.

[0088] refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 According to some embodiments of this application, the floor brush side cover 113 may include a first region 113a and a second region 113b. The first region 113a and the second region 113b are distributed along the front-back direction of the floor brush side cover 113. The first region 113a is used to connect with the floor brush housing 112, and the second region 113b is used to connect with the rotating drum 133.

[0089] The brush body 110 may further include a conductive spring clip 115 and a conductive connecting wire 116. The conductive spring clip 115 is fixedly disposed in the first region 113a for electrical connection with a power supply device disposed in the brush housing 112. The conductive spring clip 115 provides a stable electrical connection interface, reducing contact problems caused by vibration or movement of the brush assembly 100 and improving the reliability of the circuit supplying power to the hair-burning component 132. One end of the conductive connecting wire 116 is connected to the conductive spring clip 115, and the other end extends to the second region 113b and is electrically connected to the fixed conductive member 1141. Exemplarily, the fixed conductive member 1141 can be a metal conductive member (such as copper, iron, aluminum, or silver), and the conductive connecting wire 116 can be soldered to the fixed conductive member 1141 or the conductive end of the conductive connecting wire 116 can be wound around the conductive connecting wire 116.

[0090] Thus, by distributing the conductive spring clip 115 and the conductive connecting wire 116 in the first region 113a and the second region 113b of the brush side cover 113, a modular design of the component is achieved, facilitating the assembly and maintenance of the brush assembly 100. The combination of the conductive spring clip 115 and the conductive connecting wire 116 ensures stable power transmission from the power supply device to the hair treatment mechanism 130, improving the hair treatment effect.

[0091] refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 According to some embodiments of this application, the barrel body 1331 is provided with a wiring channel, and an electrical connector 134 is disposed in the wiring channel. The electrical connector 134 has a lead-out section that passes through the barrel body 1331 and is electrically connected to the hair-burning assembly 132. Exemplarily, there can be two electrical connectors 134. While the two electrical connectors 134 are electrically connected to both ends of the heating element 1322 of the hair-burning assembly 132, they are also fixedly connected to the positive and negative terminals of the movable conductive element 1142 of the power supply module 114, respectively. Thus, even when the rotating barrel 133 is rotating, the heating element 1322 can continuously and stably heat up, melting and burning the hair, thereby improving the reliability of the hair-burning assembly 132.

[0092] According to some embodiments of this application, the rotating drum 133 is provided with a mounting groove 1333 extending along its own axial direction. The brush strip 1311 is securely mounted on the rotating drum 133 through the mounting groove 1333, ensuring that the brush strip 1311 will not shift or fall off during the rotation of the rotating drum 133, thereby improving the capture efficiency and the overall reliability of the equipment. The hair capture assembly 131 may include a brush strip 1311, which is fixedly disposed in the mounting groove 1333. When the rotating drum 133 rotates, the brush strip 1311 is adapted to contact the roller brush mechanism 120 to capture the hair wrapped around the roller brush mechanism 120. For example, along the radial direction of the rotating drum 133, the height of the brush bar 1311 is not less than the gap between the roller brush mechanism 120 and the hair removal mechanism 130, to ensure contact between the brush bar 1311 and the roller brush mechanism 120. Thus, through direct contact with the roller brush mechanism 120, the brush bar 1311 can effectively capture and remove tangled hair, reducing hair accumulation and tangling on the roller brush 121. The modular design of the brush bar 1311 makes its installation and replacement easier, allowing users to easily maintain and replace it as needed.

[0093] refer to Figure 1 According to some embodiments of this application, the roller brush mechanism 120 may include a roller brush 121, the diameter of which is larger than the diameter of the rotating drum 133.

[0094] The larger diameter of the roller brush 121 allows for better contact with the floor, increasing cleaning area and efficiency, especially when dealing with carpets and other fibrous surfaces. Because the diameter of the roller brush 121 is larger than that of the drum 133, it can more easily capture hair on the floor and transfer it to the hair-catching assembly 131 on the drum 133 for processing. This allows the drum 133 to focus on hair removal while the roller brush 121 handles the primary cleaning task, thus optimizing the overall functionality of the floor brush assembly 100.

[0095] According to some embodiments of this application, the roller brush mechanism 120 may include a roller brush 121, and the hair-burning component 132 and the roller brush 121 never come into contact when the rotating drum 133 rotates.

[0096] In this way, by keeping the hair-burning component 132 separate from the roller brush 121 when the drum 133 rotates, direct contact between the two is avoided, the hair-burning component 132 is prevented from damaging the roller brush 121, the safety of the floor brush assembly 100 is improved, and the service life of the floor brush assembly 100 is extended.

[0097] According to some embodiments of this application, the hair removal mechanism 130 may further include a drive member disposed inside the rotating drum 133 and used to drive the rotating drum 133 to rotate. Exemplarily, the drive member may be a drive shaft, passing through the rotating drum 133 and fixedly connected to it. A drive motor may be provided on the floor brush housing 112, and the drive motor is connected to the drive shaft via a transmission connection. Thus, by driving the rotating drum 133 to rotate through the drive member, the hair-capturing assembly 131 makes the hair-capturing process more reliable.

[0098] The working principle of the floor brush component 100 in this application:

[0099] The floor brush assembly 100 moves across the surface to be cleaned, while the roller brush 121 of the roller brush mechanism 120 rotates to clean the surface. The hair removal mechanism 130 rotates synchronously. When hair gets tangled on the roller brush 121, the brush strips 1311 of the hair-catching assembly 131 on the rotating drum 133 catch the hair. The power supply of the cleaning equipment supplies power to the heating element 1322 of the hair-burning assembly 132 via the power supply module 114, causing the heated element 1322 to melt and burn the hair.

[0100] Secondly, this application also provides a cleaning device, which may include the aforementioned floor brush assembly 100.

[0101] Optionally, the cleaning equipment may also include a power supply and a control system. The power supply provides power to the floor brush assembly 100, ensuring the proper operation of the roller brush 121 and the hair removal function. The power supply can be a built-in battery or an external power source. The control system includes a user interface and control circuitry for adjusting the operating mode and speed of the floor brush assembly 100. Users can select different cleaning modes through the control system.

[0102] The cleaning equipment of this application, by using the aforementioned floor brush assembly 100, specifically collects and cuts hair entangled on the roller brush mechanism 120 during the cleaning process, reducing the occurrence of hair entanglement on the roller brush mechanism 120. This allows the roller brush mechanism 120 to maintain efficient cleaning performance continuously, thereby avoiding motor overload caused by hair entanglement and extending the service life of the cleaning equipment. Users also do not need to frequently disassemble and clean the hair, reducing the frequency of maintenance of the cleaning equipment and improving user satisfaction.

[0103] Thirdly, this application also provides a cleaning system, which may include the above-mentioned cleaning equipment and cleaning base station. When the cleaning equipment is placed on the cleaning base station, the cleaning base station is used at least to clean the roller brush mechanism 120 of the cleaning equipment.

[0104] For example, the cleaning base station may be equipped with a device for cleaning the roller brush mechanism 120, such as a brush, a water spray system, or a vacuum cleaner. When the cleaning equipment is placed on the base station, the base station automatically cleans the roller brush 121, removing attached hair and dust. Of course, the cleaning base station can provide charging functionality for the cleaning equipment, ensuring that the cleaning equipment has sufficient power after each use.

[0105] The cleaning system of this application, by using the aforementioned cleaning equipment, reduces the occurrence of hair entanglement in the roller brush mechanism 120, thereby reducing the cleaning difficulty of the floor brush assembly 100. After completing the cleaning task, the user places the cleaning equipment at the cleaning base station, and the cleaning base station starts to thoroughly clean the roller brush mechanism 120, reducing the frequency of the user manually cleaning the hair on the roller brush mechanism 120, which is conducive to improving user satisfaction.
