[0029] Example: Figure 1-10 As shown, this utility model discloses an embodiment of a vacuum floor brush, which includes: a floor brush cover plate 100, a floor brush base 200 located on a floor brush seat 200 and having a dust collection chamber 220, a rotating brush body 300 disposed in the dust collection chamber 220 and having a rotating brush body cavity 320, a rotating brush strip assembly 340 disposed on the rotating brush body 300, an end cover plate 400 disposed at one end of the rotating brush body 300, a bearing cover plate 500 cooperating with the end cover plate 400, a drive assembly 600 for driving the rotating brush body 300 to rotate, a bearing cover plate support 700 connected to the bearing cover plate 500, and an adapter 800 movably connected to the floor brush base 200 and located downstream of the dust collection chamber 220.

[0030] The floor brush cover 100 is a rectangular plastic part. The floor brush holder 200, also an injection molded part, is used to contact the surface to be cleaned and is reciprocating. It includes a dust collection chamber 220 at the front end, a suction port 224 connected to the dust collection chamber 220 and located upstream of the adapter 800, and a comb-like part 260 located at the rear end of the dust collection chamber 220 for combing the hair of the rotating brush body 300. The floor brush cover 100 covers the rear end of the floor brush holder. The adapter 800 is located at the rear end of the floor brush holder 200. The floor brush holder 200 includes a guide rib 240 located above the dust collection chamber 220 and adjacent to the bearing cover 500, which guides the hair towards the middle of the rotating brush body 300, causing the hair to move away from the end cover. The middle of the rotating brush body 300 is adjacent to the suction port 224.

[0031] The rotating brush body 300 rotates around a horizontal axis parallel to the surface to be cleaned. Its surface is circumferentially provided with several rotating brush body grooves to accommodate the rotating brush strip assembly 340. The rotating brush strip assembly 340 includes multiple first rotating brush strips 342 and multiple second rotating brush strips 344, wherein the first rotating brush strips 342 are arranged adjacent to corresponding second rotating brush strips 344. A first rotating brush strip 342 or a second rotating brush strip 344 is disposed between two adjacent rotating brush body grooves. Preferably, the first rotating brush strips 342 are bristle strips, and the second rotating brush strips 344 are leather strips.

[0032] Combination Figure 7-8As shown, the end cap plate 400 includes an end cap base 420, an end cap hole 440 located on one side of the end cap base 420, and an end cap sleeve portion 460 extending from one end of the end cap base 420 along its axial direction and capable of extending into the rotating brush body cavity 320. The end cap base 420 includes an annular end cap base side edge 424, an end cap flange 426 located outside the end cap base side edge 424, and a plurality of end cap base protrusions 428 formed inside the end cap base side edge 424 and radially toward the end cap sleeve portion 460. The end cap sleeve portion 460 has a sleeve cavity 464 inside, a plurality of sleeve ribs 468 located on the outer surface and circumferentially spaced, and an axle-shaped portion 480 located in the sleeve cavity 464 and having a central shaft hole 484, wherein the central shaft hole 484 communicates with the end cap hole 440. There is an axial gap between the end cap base 420 and the bearing cover plate 500 in the axial direction of the rotating brush body 300, and there is a radial gap between the end cap flange 426 and the outer wall 560 of the bearing cover, wherein the radial gap is smaller than the axial gap.

[0033] Combination Figure 9-10 As shown, the bearing cover plate 500 includes a bearing cover recess 504, a bearing cover center hole 508 located at the center of the bearing cover recess 504, a bearing cover flange 510 disposed around one end of the bearing cover center hole 508, a bearing chamber 514 communicating with the bearing cover center hole 508 and located within the bearing cover flange 510, a connecting shaft 520 axially passing through the bearing cover center hole 508 and the central shaft hole 484, a bearing cover sleeve 530 disposed around the other end of the bearing cover center hole 508, a bearing 540 sleeved on the connecting shaft 520 and received by the bearing chamber 514, a bearing cover outer wall 560 located outside the bearing cover recess 504, and a recess edge 506 located outside the bearing cover recess 504. A first radial gap exists between the recess edge 506 and the bearing cover outer wall 560, partially accommodating the rotating brush assembly 340. The bearing cover outer wall 560 includes a bearing cover outer wall root 564, a bearing cover outer wall top 566, a bearing cover outer wall inclined portion 568 extending from the bearing cover outer wall root 564 to the bearing cover outer wall top 566, and a bearing cover inner wall 569 located inside the bearing cover outer wall inclined portion 568 and abutting against the rotating brush assembly 340, wherein a second radial gap exists between the recessed edge 506 and the bearing cover inner wall 569, wherein the second radial gap is smaller than the first radial gap. In this embodiment, the bearing cover plate 500 is the bearing cover plate of the non-driving end of the rotating brush body 300, or it can be the bearing cover plate of the driving end.

[0034] The drive assembly 600 is a DC motor used to drive the rotating brush body 300 to rotate around an axis. The drive assembly 600 is located at the rear end of the floor brush holder 200 and is shielded by the floor brush cover plate 100.

[0035] The bearing cover plate support 700 has a support hole that engages with the bearing cover sleeve 530, and the bearing cover plate support 700 is detachable to facilitate the removal of the rotating brush body 300.

[0036] The adapter 800 can rotate relative to the brush holder 200 in the front, back, left and right directions, and the adapter 800 connects to the metal tube to transmit dust-laden airflow to the vacuum cleaner host.

[0037] During operation, under the high-speed rotation of the drive assembly 600, the first rotating brush strip 342 and the second rotating brush strip 344 of the rotating brush body 300 rotate and beat the ground to be cleaned, generating a dust-laden airflow. The dust-laden airflow enters the dust collection chamber 220, enters the hose through the suction port 224 on the rear side of the dust collection chamber 220, and then flows towards the vacuum cleaner host through the adapter 800. Finally, it is filtered and discharged to the outside. Due to the radial direction of the first rotating brush strip 342 and the second rotating brush strip 344 and the inner wall of the bearing cover plate 500, The interference fit and clearance fit allow the first and second rotating brush bars 342 and 344 to be deformed by the inner wall 569 of the bearing cover during the interference fit, while the first and second rotating brush bars 342 and 344 recover their deformation during the clearance fit. In particular, the second rotating brush bar 344, which has better elasticity, elastically separates the hair. Moreover, the circumferential continuous interference fit and clearance fit, and the continuous deformation and recovery process, make it easier to prevent hair from tangling. Furthermore, the combing by the comb teeth 260 also reduces hair tangling.

[0038] The advantages of this invention are: by having different radial fits between the rotating brush body and the bearing cover plate, the rotating brush body is prevented from getting tangled in hair, and the hair is made to move away from the end cover, ensuring the reliable rotation of the rotating brush body and guaranteeing the working reliability of the vacuum floor brush.

[0039] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any modifications and improvements made by those skilled in the art without departing from the inventive concept of the present utility model should be covered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
