Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of cleaning equipment technology, and in particular to a cleaning brush device and cleaning equipment. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of technology and social progress, more and more families are starting to use cleaning equipment such as vacuum cleaners, fabric cleaning machines, carpet cleaning machines, sweepers, or floor scrubbers to improve the efficiency and quality of household cleaning.

[0003] Floors, fabrics, and carpets typically exhibit a variety of levels of dirt and grime. However, most cleaning devices in related technologies offer only one cleaning mode, resulting in poor cleaning performance and a subpar user experience. Utility Model Content

[0004] This disclosure provides a cleaning brush device and cleaning equipment that can enrich cleaning modes, improve cleaning effect and user experience.

[0005] Specifically, this disclosure is achieved through the following technical solution:

The cleaning medium delivery component includes a clean water inlet pipe for delivering clean water to the at least two output components, a cleaning liquid inlet pipe for delivering cleaning liquid to the at least two output components, and a gas inlet pipe for delivering gas to the at least two output components. The reversing valve has at least three working ports, each including an outlet corresponding to one of the at least two output components and an inlet selectively connected among the outlets. The cleaning liquid inlet pipe is connected to the inlet of the reversing valve, and the clean water inlet pipe and the gas inlet pipe are respectively connected to at least one of the at least two output components and the inlet of the reversing valve.

[0007] According to a second aspect of the present disclosure, a cleaning brush device is provided, including two output components, a cleaning medium delivery component, and a reversing valve. The two output components include a first output component and a second output component. The cleaning medium delivery component includes a clean water inlet pipe for supplying clean water to the two output components, a cleaning liquid inlet pipe for supplying cleaning liquid to the two output components, and a gas inlet pipe for supplying gas to the two output components.

The cleaning liquid inlet pipe is connected to the inlet of the reversing valve, the clean water inlet pipe is connected between the first outlet and the first output component, and the gas inlet pipe is connected between the second outlet and the second output component.

[0008] According to a third aspect of the present disclosure, a cleaning brush device includes two output components, a cleaning medium delivery component, and a reversing valve.

The cleaning medium delivery component includes a clean water inlet pipe for supplying clean water to the two output components, a cleaning liquid inlet pipe for supplying cleaning liquid to the two output components, and a gas inlet pipe for supplying gas to the two output components. The reversing valve has a first outlet communicating with the first output component, a second outlet communicating with the second output component, and an inlet selectively connecting between the first outlet and the second outlet. The cleaning liquid inlet pipe, the clean water inlet pipe, and the gas inlet pipe are respectively connected to the inlet of the reversing valve.

[0009] According to a fourth aspect of the present disclosure, a cleaning brush device is provided, comprising two output components, a power component for supplying cleaning medium to the two output components, and a connecting component. The two output components include a first output component and a second output component. The power component includes a water pump, a cleaning liquid pump, and an air pump. The connecting component includes a first mixing structure and a second mixing structure. The first mixing structure is connected between the water pump, the cleaning liquid pump, and the first output component. The second mixing structure is connected between the cleaning liquid pump, the air pump, and the second output component.

[0010] According to a fifth aspect of the present disclosure, a cleaning device is provided, including a main body, a control device, and the aforementioned cleaning brush device. The control device is installed on the main body and / or the cleaning brush device, and is electrically connected to a reversing valve to control the operation of the reversing valve.

[0011] The technical solutions provided by the embodiments of this disclosure have at least the following beneficial effects:

[0012] The cleaning brush device disclosed herein, during use, has a clean water input pipe for supplying clean water to the output components, a cleaning fluid input pipe for supplying cleaning fluid to the output components, and a gas input pipe for supplying gas to the output components. A reversing valve can be used to control the connection and disconnection of the cleaning fluid input pipe with at least two output components, thereby enabling the corresponding output components to output a cleaning medium containing cleaning fluid. The clean water input pipe can be directly connected to at least two output components to directly supply clean water to them; alternatively, the clean water input pipe can be connected to the inlet of the reversing valve, which controls the connection and disconnection of the clean water input pipe with the at least two output components. Similarly, the gas input pipe can be directly connected to at least two output components to directly supply gas to them; alternatively, the gas input pipe can be connected to the inlet of the reversing valve, which controls the connection and disconnection of the gas input pipe with the at least two output components.

[0013] Thus, the output component can output cleaning media of any one or more combinations of water, cleaning fluid, and gas. Examples include water, cleaning fluid, a mixture of cleaning fluid and water, sparkling water (a mixture of water and gas), cleaning fluid foam (a mixture of cleaning fluid and gas), or a foam mixture of cleaning fluid, water, and gas. This allows the cleaning brush device to provide a variety of cleaning media, creating multiple cleaning modes. These modes can then be tailored to different levels of dirt, increasing the cleaning power of the device and enhancing the user experience.

[0014] Furthermore, the cleaning brush device provided in this disclosure is applicable to cleaning equipment such as vacuum cleaners, fabric cleaning machines, carpet cleaning machines, sweepers, or floor scrubbers.

Detailed Implementation

[0028] The technical solutions in the embodiments (or "implementations") of this disclosure will be clearly and completely described herein with reference to the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements.

[0029] If this disclosure uses terms relating to directional indications or positional relationships (e.g., up, down, left, right, front, back, inside, outside, top, bottom, center, vertical, horizontal, longitudinal, transverse, length, height, counterclockwise, clockwise, axial, radial, circumferential, etc.), such terms are only used to explain the relative positional relationships and movements between components in a specific posture (as shown in the accompanying drawings). If the specific posture changes, the directional indications or positional relationships will also change accordingly. Furthermore, terms such as "first" and "second" in this disclosure are used only for descriptive convenience and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0030] With technological advancements and social progress, more and more families are using cleaning equipment such as vacuum cleaners, fabric cleaning machines, carpet cleaners, sweepers, and floor scrubbers to improve the efficiency and quality of household cleaning. Currently, there are numerous brands of cleaning equipment available for consumers to choose from. How to win consumer favor and enhance product competitiveness is an increasingly important issue for cleaning equipment manufacturers.

[0031] Taking floor scrubbers as an example, floor scrubbers are a common type of cleaning equipment. They can move across the floor and clean dirt using brushes. For instance, household floor scrubbers can be handheld and dragged by the user to clean dirty floors. Floors typically have varying degrees of dirt, including easily cleanable light dirt such as dust, hair, or sweat stains, as well as more stubborn dirt such as oil stains, limescale, or mold. However, floor scrubbers in current technology usually only have limited cleaning modes, such as water washing or cleaning liquid cleaning, which is insufficient to meet users' cleaning needs for different levels of dirt. This results in poor cleaning performance and a poor user experience.

[0032] Based on this, the present disclosure provides a cleaning brush device capable of offering multiple cleaning modes to handle different levels of dirt, improving cleaning effectiveness, meeting user needs, and enhancing the user experience. Furthermore, the cleaning brush device provided in this disclosure is not limited to floor scrubbers; it can also be used with vacuum cleaners, fabric cleaning machines, carpet cleaners, robotic vacuum cleaners, and other cleaning equipment. This disclosure makes no limitations on its application.

[0033] The cleaning brush device 10 provided in this disclosure will now be described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0034] See Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a cleaning brush device 10 having two output components 15, as shown in one embodiment. Figure 2 for Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the internal structure of the cleaning brush device 10 shown. Figure 3 for Figure 1 The diagram shows another internal structure of the cleaning brush device 10. This disclosure provides a cleaning brush device 10, including at least two output components 15, a cleaning medium delivery component, and a reversing valve 14. The cleaning medium delivery component includes a clean water inlet pipe 11 for supplying clean water to the at least two output components 15, a cleaning liquid inlet pipe 12 for supplying cleaning liquid to the at least two output components 15, and a gas inlet pipe 13 for supplying gas to the at least two output components 15. The reversing valve 14 has at least three working ports, including outlets corresponding to at least two output components 15 and inlets selectively connected between the outlets. The cleaning liquid inlet pipe 12 is connected to the inlet of the reversing valve 14. The clean water inlet pipe 11 and the gas inlet pipe 13 are respectively connected to at least one of the at least two output components 15 and the inlet of the reversing valve 14.

[0035] It should be noted that at least two output components 15 can be used to output cleaning media to clean dirt. The at least two output components 15 can be two, three, four or five, etc. Each output component 15 can have one output port, two output ports, three output ports, four output ports or five output ports, etc., and this disclosure does not impose any restrictions.

[0036] The cleaning medium delivery assembly is used to provide a cleaning medium to the output assembly 15. The cleaning medium includes any one or a combination of water, cleaning liquid, or gas to address different levels of dirt, and this disclosure does not impose any limitations. Specifically, the water inlet pipe 11 is used to deliver water to the output assembly 15, the cleaning liquid inlet pipe 12 is used to deliver cleaning liquid to the output assembly 15, and the gas inlet pipe 13 is used to deliver gas to the output assembly 15.

[0037] The reversing valve 14 can be used to control the opening and closing of the cleaning fluid input pipeline 12 and at least two output components 15, thereby enabling the corresponding output components 15 to output cleaning media containing cleaning fluid. The clean water input pipeline 11 can be directly connected to at least two output components 15 to directly supply clean water to them. The clean water input pipeline 11 can also be connected to the inlet of the reversing valve 14, which controls the opening and closing of the clean water input pipeline 11 and the at least two output components 15. The gas input pipeline 13 can be directly connected to at least two output components 15 to directly supply gas to them. The gas input pipeline 13 can also be connected to the inlet of the reversing valve 14, which controls the opening and closing of the gas input pipeline 13 and the at least two output components 15. This disclosure is not limiting. Thus, the output component 15 can output any one or a combination of water, cleaning fluid, and gas. The cleaning medium containing the cleaning fluid includes pure cleaning fluid, a mixture of cleaning fluid and water, a cleaning fluid foam mixture of cleaning fluid and gas, or a foam mixture of cleaning fluid, water, and gas. In this way, the cleaning brush device 10 can provide a variety of cleaning media, forming multiple cleaning modes. These multiple cleaning modes can then be matched to different levels of dirt, improving the cleaning power of the cleaning brush device 10 and enhancing the user experience.

[0038] See Figures 1 to 3In some embodiments, to facilitate the supply of cleaning fluid to the output component 15, the cleaning medium delivery component further includes a cleaning fluid pump 12a acting on the cleaning fluid input pipe 12. Understandably, the cleaning fluid input pipe 12 is connected to the cleaning fluid tank 40, and the cleaning fluid in the cleaning fluid tank 40 is drawn by the cleaning fluid pump 12a and delivered to the corresponding output component 15 via the cleaning fluid input pipe 12. The cleaning fluid pump 12a typically has a built-in switching valve to cooperate in opening or closing the cleaning fluid input pipe 12 and to prevent backflow of the cleaning medium. Thus, when the inlet of the reversing valve 14 is connected to the corresponding output component 15, the opening and closing of the cleaning fluid pump 12a can correspondingly open or close the cleaning fluid input pipe 12, enabling the corresponding output component 15 to output cleaning medium containing cleaning fluid.

[0039] See Figures 1 to 3 In some embodiments, to facilitate the supply of gas delivery power to the output component 15, the cleaning medium delivery component further includes an air pump 13a (not shown in the figure) acting on the gas input pipe 13. The air pump 13a can be connected to the atmosphere outside the cleaning brush device 10 or connected to an external air source to supply gas to the output component 15. Understandably, the air pump 13a typically has a built-in switching valve to cooperate in opening or closing the gas input pipe 13 and to prevent backflow of the cleaning medium. Thus, when the gas input pipe 13 is directly connected to the output component 15, the opening or closing of the gas input pipe 13 can be correspondingly opened or closed by starting and closing the air pump 13a, thereby simplifying the pipeline connection. In addition, the air pump 13a can also be replaced by a fan or compressor, which is not limited in this disclosure.

[0040] See Figures 1 to 3 In some embodiments, to facilitate the supply of clean water to the output component 15, the cleaning medium delivery component also includes a water pump 11a (not shown in the figure) acting on the clean water input pipe 11. It is understood that the water pump 11a and the cleaning liquid pump 12a can be configured as centrifugal pumps or screw pumps, etc., for transporting liquids, and this disclosure does not impose any limitations. Correspondingly, the water pump 11a typically also has a built-in switch valve to cooperate in opening or closing the clean water input pipe 11 and preventing backflow of the cleaning medium. Thus, when the clean water input pipe 11 is directly connected to the output component 15, the opening and closing of the clean water input pipe 11 can be correspondingly opened or closed by starting and closing the water pump 11a, simplifying the pipeline connection. Correspondingly, the cleaning liquid pump 12a can also have a built-in switch valve, which will not be elaborated upon in this disclosure. Of course, the clean water input pipe 11 can also be connected to a tap or water tank 30, etc., and this disclosure does not impose any limitations.

[0041] In addition, in other embodiments, the clean water inlet pipe 11 is usually inclined or vertically arranged relative to the surface to be cleaned, so that the clean water can be output by relying on the gravitational potential energy. In this case, the water pump 11a can also be omitted from the clean water inlet pipe 11, and this disclosure does not impose any restrictions.

[0042] See Figures 1 to 3 In some embodiments, the cleaning brush device 10 further includes a housing assembly 16 and a cleaning brush 17 mounted on the housing assembly 16, the cleaning brush 17 being used to clean the surface to be cleaned, and at least two output components 15 including a first output component 15a disposed toward the cleaning brush 17 and a second output component 15b disposed toward the surface to be cleaned.

[0043] It should be noted that the cleaning brush 17 is used for cleaning floors or carpets. The first output component 15a is positioned facing the cleaning brush 17, and can output the cleaning medium from the first output component 15a onto the cleaning brush 17. Understandably, the first output component 15a can output any one or a combination of cleaning media selected from water, cleaning fluid, and gas. For example, when the first output component 15a outputs water, the cleaning brush 17 can be wetted during cleaning operations to clean light dirt on the floor or carpet awaiting cleaning. Alternatively, the water output by the first output component 15a can also be used for self-cleaning of the cleaning brush 17 to rinse away dirt. For example, when the first output component 15a outputs cleaning fluid, a mixture of cleaning fluid and water, or foam, the cleaning brush 17 can be wetted with the cleaning fluid or mixture, or covered with foam, to utilize the cleaning fluid, mixture, or foam to clean more stubborn dirt, or to enhance the self-cleaning power of the cleaning brush 17. For example, when the first output component 15a outputs gas, the cleaning brush 17 can be dried by blowing the gas.

[0044] The surface to be cleaned by the cleaning brush 17 is typically located at the bottom of the housing assembly 16. Therefore, the second output assembly 15b can be positioned towards the outside of the housing assembly 16 and tilted towards the bottom of the housing assembly 16, so that the second output assembly 15b can directly output cleaning medium onto the dirt on the surface to be cleaned, thereby performing targeted cleaning and improving the cleaning effect. Understandably, the second output assembly 15b can also output any one or a combination of cleaning media, such as water, cleaning liquid, and gas, to directly and targetedly clean dirt of varying degrees; this disclosure will not elaborate further. Of course, when the second output assembly 15b outputs cleaning medium to targeted dirt, the output amount of the cleaning medium can be quantitatively set according to user needs; this disclosure does not impose any limitations.

[0045] See Figures 1 to 3 In some embodiments, the first output component 15a includes a spray plate mounted on the housing component 16, the spray plate being arranged along the length of the cleaning brush 17 and having a plurality of nozzles.

[0046] Understandably, the multiple nozzles of the spray plate can be arranged along the length of the cleaning brush 17 so that the output cleaning medium can make uniform contact with the cleaning brush 17. Alternatively, the spray plate can also be provided with a strip-shaped nozzle extending along the length of the cleaning brush 17, which is not limited in this disclosure.

[0047] See Figures 1 to 3 In some embodiments, the second output component 15b includes a nozzle mounted on the housing component 16, the nozzle having a built-in foam generator.

[0048] It should be noted that the second output component 15b includes a nozzle, which can be used to directly spray dirt to output cleaning media at specific points and / or in quantitative quantities. The spray range and spray force of the nozzle can be adjusted according to user needs, and this disclosure does not specify these settings. Simultaneously, when the nozzle sprays foam, the foam generator inside the nozzle can enrich the foam generation, thus enriching the foam while also saving on the connecting pipeline between the nozzle and the foam generator. Of course, the nozzle and the foam generator can also be connected independently via pipelines, and this disclosure does not impose any limitations.

[0049] In some embodiments, the first output component 15a and the second output component 15b may be fixedly connected or rotatably connected to the housing component 16, respectively, for adjusting the output angle of the cleaning medium, which is not limited in this disclosure.

[0050] In addition, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The gas input pipe 13, clean water input pipe 11, and cleaning fluid input pipe 12 of the cleaning brush device 10 can be installed inside the housing assembly 16. The installation position of each input pipe inside the housing assembly 16 is not limited to... Figure 2 and Figure 3 The manufacturer can also adjust the installation position of each input pipe in the housing assembly 16 according to the actual assembly situation to form other layout structures, which are not limited in this disclosure.

[0051] In addition, a drive wheel may be provided on the housing assembly 16 of the cleaning brush device 10 to reduce the force required for the user to move the cleaning brush device 10, which will not be described in detail in this disclosure.

[0052] See Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, to facilitate the connection between each input pipe and the reversing valve 14, the cleaning brush device 10 further includes a connecting component 18 connected to the inlet of the reversing valve 14. The cleaning liquid input pipe 12, the clean water input pipe 11, and the gas input pipe 13 are respectively connected to the inlet of the reversing valve 14 via the connecting component 18, so as to adjust the conduction and disconnection of each input pipe and each output component 15 through the reversing valve 14.

[0053] It should be noted that the connecting assembly 18 can be various pipe fittings used to connect each input pipe to the inlet of the reversing valve 14, thereby reducing the number of inlets of the reversing valve 14. The connecting assembly 18 can also be a chamber formed by splicing various pipes or an independent mounting component with a cavity, so that at least two of the clean water, cleaning liquid and gas can be pre-mixed before being output through the output assembly 15 to clean dirt, thereby improving the cleaning effect.

[0054] As an example, the connection assembly 18 includes a first connector 181 communicating with the inlet of the reversing valve 14, and each input pipe is respectively connected to the first connector 181. Understandably, when the cleaning brush device 10 includes a gas input pipe 13, a clean water input pipe 11, and a cleaning fluid input pipe 12, the first connector 181 can be a four-way connector, with one port of the four-way connector communicating with the inlet of the first reversing valve 14, and the other three ports of the four-way connector respectively communicating with the gas input pipe 13, the clean water input pipe 11, and the cleaning fluid input pipe 12.

[0055] As an example, the connection assembly 18 includes two interconnected second connectors 182, with the clean water inlet pipe 11 and the inlet of the reversing valve 14 respectively connected to one of the two second connectors 182, and the cleaning fluid inlet pipe 12 and the gas inlet pipe 13 respectively connected to the other of the two second connectors 182.

[0056] Understandably, the second connector 182 can be configured as a tee joint. One port of the first tee joint can be connected to the inlet of the first reversing valve 14, the other port of the first tee joint can be connected to the clean water input pipe 11, another port of the first tee joint can be connected to one port of the second tee joint, and the other two ports of the second tee joint can be connected to the gas input pipe 13 and the cleaning liquid input pipe 12 respectively.

[0057] Thus, the connection component 18 facilitates the connection of each input pipe to the inlet of the first reversing valve 14, thereby simplifying the structure of the first reversing valve 14. Furthermore, the connection component 18 allows the cleaning medium in each input pipe to be pre-mixed before entering the reversing valve 14, enabling the cleaning brush device 10 to output multiple cleaning media and achieve multiple cleaning modes.

[0058] Furthermore, it should be noted that the clean water input pipe 11 is typically the same pipe used in the cleaning brush device 10. Connecting the clean water input pipe 11 to the inlet of the reversing valve 14 onto the same tee joint can relatively shorten the flow path of clean water to each output component 15, thereby facilitating the output of clean water. Additionally, when the cleaning fluid input pipe 12 and the gas input pipe 13 need maintenance or replacement, the two tee joints can be directly disassembled, and the empty interface of the tee joint where the clean water input pipe 11 is located can be sealed with a cap without affecting the output of clean water from the cleaning brush device 10.

[0059] Understandably, there is no limitation on the diameter of each input pipe, and the size of the interface of the connecting component 18 can be matched and set according to the diameter of each pipe. This disclosure does not impose any limitations.

[0060] See Figure 5 In some embodiments, to facilitate the output of various cleaning media by the cleaning brush device 10, the following description uses the reversing valve 14 as a two-position three-way valve to illustrate the output of various cleaning media by the cleaning brush device 10 in the corresponding cleaning modes.

[0061] The cleaning brush device 10 includes two output components 15, a cleaning medium delivery component, and a reversing valve 14. The two output components 15 include a first output component 15a facing the cleaning brush 17 and a second output component 15b facing the cleaning surface. The cleaning medium delivery component includes a clean water input pipe 11 for supplying clean water to the two output components 15, a water pump 11a acting on the clean water input pipe 11, a cleaning liquid input pipe 12 for supplying cleaning liquid to the two output components 15, a cleaning liquid pump 12a acting on the cleaning liquid input pipe 12, a cleaning liquid tank 40 connected to the cleaning liquid input pipe 12, a gas input pipe 13 for supplying gas to the two output components 15, and a gas pump 13a acting on the gas input pipe 13. The reversing valve 14 has a first outlet connected to the first output component 15a, a second outlet connected to the second output component 15b, and an inlet that selectively connects between the first and second outlets. The cleaning liquid input pipe 12, the clean water input pipe 11, and the gas input pipe 13 are respectively connected to the inlet of the reversing valve 14.

[0062] It should be noted that in the first operating position of the reversing valve 14, the inlet and first outlet of the reversing valve 14 are connected, and the second outlet is closed. At this time, the first output component 15a can output cleaning medium to the cleaning brush 17. During routine use of the cleaning brush device 10, the reversing valve 14 can be in the first operating position to connect the first output component 15a, allowing the cleaning brush device 10 to clean dirt using the cleaning brush 17. Taking a floor scrubber as an example, the user can move the floor scrubber and use its roller brush to clean the floor.

[0063] exist Figure 5 In the first operating position of the reversing valve 14 shown, one or more of the water pump 11a, cleaning fluid pump 12a, and air pump 13a can be started respectively, so that the first output component 15a can switch between various cleaning modes.

[0064] Specifically, if only the water pump 11a is activated in the cleaning brush device 10, while the cleaning fluid pump 12a and the air pump 13a are deactivated, the first output component 15a can output clean water to the cleaning brush 17, and the cleaning brush device 10 is in clean water mode. For example, the clean water mode can be used to wet the cleaning brush 17 with clean water to clean light dirt on floors or carpets awaiting cleaning. Alternatively, the clean water mode can also self-clean the cleaning brush 17 itself, rinsing off dirt from the cleaning brush 17. Alternatively, the clean water output in the clean water mode can also rinse away residual cleaning fluid-containing media in the pipes of the first output component 15a to prevent the cleaning fluid-containing media from drying and forming crystals, thereby avoiding blockage of the first output component 15a.

[0065] If only the cleaning fluid pump 12a is activated in the cleaning brush device 10, while the water pump 11a and air pump 13a are deactivated, the first output component 15a can output cleaning fluid to the cleaning brush 17. The cleaning brush device 10 is then in cleaning fluid mode to enhance the cleaning power of the cleaning brush device 10 on surfaces such as floors or carpets awaiting cleaning, or to enhance the cleaning power of the cleaning brush 17. Typically, the cleaning fluid has a certain degree of fluidity. When the cleaning fluid is applied to relatively flat surfaces such as floors, glass, or kitchen countertops, it can flow across the surface to dissolve and clean dirt. This enhances cleaning power and makes it suitable for cleaning large areas of stubborn dirt. When the cleaning fluid is applied to carpets or fabric surfaces awaiting cleaning, it can also penetrate deep into the stains to dissolve stubborn dirt, thereby increasing cleaning power.

[0066] If both the water pump 11a and the cleaning liquid pump 12a are activated in the cleaning brush device 10, and the air pump 13a is deactivated, then the first output component 15a can output a mixed liquid to the cleaning brush 17, and the cleaning brush device 10 is in mixed liquid mode. Understandably, compared to the cleaning liquid mode, the concentration of the cleaning liquid in the mixed liquid mode is lower. Essentially, the cleaning liquid is diluted with water to form a mixed liquid. The cleaning power of the mixed liquid cleaning mode is higher than that of the water mode but lower than that of the cleaning liquid mode. Users can choose to use the mixed liquid cleaning mode according to the degree of dirt or their customized usage needs; this disclosure does not impose any limitations. Furthermore, the mixed liquid cleaning mode can improve cleaning power compared to the water mode and save on cleaning liquid usage compared to the cleaning liquid mode.

[0067] If the water pump 11a and air pump 13a of the cleaning brush device 10 are activated, and the cleaning liquid pump 12a is deactivated, the first output component 15a can evenly output sparkling water to the cleaning brush 17, and the cleaning brush device 10 is in sparkling water mode. Understandably, the sparkling water mode ensures even water spraying, avoiding uneven cleaning of dirt and reducing watermark residue. This disclosure does not limit the size of the water droplets in the sparkling water.

[0068] If the cleaning brush device 10 has the cleaning liquid pump 12a and air pump 13a activated, and the water pump 11a deactivated, the first output component 15a can output cleaning liquid foam to the cleaning brush 17. If the cleaning brush device 10 has the water pump 11a, cleaning liquid pump 12a, and air pump 13a activated, the first output component 15a can output mixed liquid foam to the cleaning brush 17, and the cleaning brush device 10 is in foam mode. Understandably, the cleaning liquid concentration in the cleaning liquid foam is higher than that in the mixed liquid foam. Users can choose to output either cleaning liquid foam or mixed liquid foam according to the degree of dirt, and this disclosure does not impose any limitations. Compared to liquids, foam has weaker fluidity, thus it can adhere to vertical surfaces or complex surfaces (such as walls or corners), allowing the foam to remain on the dirty surface for a long time, thereby dissolving and cleaning stubborn dirt. Furthermore, the output component 15 can accumulate a thicker foam layer on the dirty surface, improving the persistence of dirt decomposition and thus enhancing the cleaning effect. In addition, when the first output component 15a outputs foam, users can also use the foam to draw different patterns to cover the dirt, thereby increasing the fun and visual effect of cleaning.

[0069] If the air pump 13a of the cleaning brush device 10 is activated, and the cleaning liquid pump 12a and water pump 11a are deactivated, the first output component 15a can output gas to the cleaning brush 17, and the cleaning brush device 10 is in gas mode to dry the cleaning brush 17. That is, after cleaning the cleaning brush 17, the cleaning brush device 10 can dry the cleaning brush 17 with the gas blown out by the output component 15a to prevent the cleaning brush 17 from becoming damp and moldy. Alternatively, the gas mode can also be used to blow away crystals formed on the first output component 15a after the cleaning medium containing cleaning liquid dries, preventing the first output component 15a from becoming clogged. Alternatively, the gas mode can also be used to dry residual cleaning water marks on floors or carpets, achieving immediate drying. Understandably, the output gas can be air or a harmless gas such as nitrogen.

[0070] exist Figure 5 In the second operating position of the directional valve 14 shown, the inlet and second outlet of the directional valve 14 are connected, while the first outlet is closed. At this time, the second output assembly 15b can directly spray cleaning media onto specific dirt points for targeted cleaning. Of course, when outputting cleaning media to specific dirt points, the output volume of the cleaning media can be quantitatively set according to user needs; this disclosure does not impose any limitations.

[0071] Specifically, one or more of the water pump 11a, cleaning liquid pump 12a, and air pump 13a can be started respectively, so that the second output component 15b can output clean water, cleaning liquid, gas, mixed liquid, foam or sparkling water, thereby enabling the second output component 15b to switch between various cleaning modes, which will not be described in detail in this disclosure.

[0072] Furthermore, in other embodiments, the first output component 15a and the second output component 15b can also be used simultaneously. In this case, the reversing valve 14 of the cleaning brush device 10 can be a three-position three-way valve. Figure 5 The reversing valve 14 shown differs in structure from the other two in that, in the neutral position, the inlet of the three-way valve is connected to both outlets, allowing the first output component 15a and the second output component 15b of the cleaning brush device 10 to simultaneously output cleaning media. Thus, the cleaning brush device 10 can use the cleaning brush 17 to clean dirt, and can also directly spray cleaning media onto surfaces such as floors or carpets during the cleaning process to enhance cleaning effectiveness.

[0073] Of course, the reversing valve 14 of the cleaning brush device 10 can also be a four-way valve or a five-way valve, etc., and the reversing valve 14 has several working positions. The manufacturer can set it according to the user's needs, and this disclosure does not impose any restrictions.

[0074] See Figure 5 In some embodiments, the cleaning brush device 10 further includes a foam generator. When cleaning liquid and gas enter the foam generator, the foam generator can mix the two to produce abundant cleaning liquid foam. Alternatively, when water, cleaning liquid, and gas enter the foam generator, the foam generator can mix the three to produce abundant mixed liquid foam, thereby improving the foam generation effect. It is understood that the foam generator can be connected between the first output component 15a and the first outlet, and / or the foam generator can also be connected between the second output component 15b and the second outlet; this disclosure does not impose any limitations.

[0075] See Figure 6 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the first output component 15a and the second output component 15b can also output different cleaning media when used in combination, to further enrich the cleaning modes of the cleaning brush device 10. At this time, Figure 7The cleaning brush device 10 shown includes two output components 15, a cleaning medium delivery assembly, and a reversing valve 14. The two output components 15 include a first output component 15a facing the cleaning brush 17 and a second output component 15b facing the cleaning surface. The cleaning medium delivery assembly includes a clean water input pipe 11 for supplying clean water to the two output components 15, a water pump 11a acting on the clean water input pipe 11, a cleaning liquid input pipe 12 for supplying cleaning liquid to the two output components 15, a cleaning liquid pump 12a acting on the cleaning liquid input pipe 12, a cleaning liquid tank 40 connected to the cleaning liquid input pipe 12, a gas input pipe 13 for supplying gas to the two output components 15, and an air pump 13a acting on the gas input pipe 13. The reversing valve 14 is provided with a first outlet connected to the first output component 15a, a second outlet connected to the second output component 15b, and an inlet that can be selectively connected between the first outlet and the second outlet. The cleaning liquid input pipe 12 is connected to the inlet of the reversing valve 14, the clean water input pipe 11 is connected between the first outlet and the first output component 15a, and the gas input pipe 13 is connected between the second outlet and the second output component 15b.

[0076] It should be noted that, in Figure 7 In the cleaning brush device 10 shown, the cleaning liquid input pipe 12 is connected to the inlet of the reversing valve 14, the clean water input pipe 11 is directly connected to the first output component 15a, and the gas input pipe 13 is directly connected to the second output component 15b. Thus, the reversing valve 14 can control the connection between the cleaning liquid input pipe 12 and either the first output component 15a or the second output component 15b, thereby allowing the cleaning liquid to mix with clean water or gas to form different cleaning media, and combining them to form different cleaning modes.

[0077] Furthermore, with this configuration, the clean water mode, as the regular cleaning mode, can be directly connected to the first output component 15a, enabling the first output component 15a to output clean water to the cleaning brush 17. The cleaning modes of the cleaning brush device 10 can be enriched simply by adding a cleaning fluid input pipe 12 and a gas input pipe 13 to the existing pipe design for the clean water mode.

[0078] join Figure 7 In some embodiments, the cleaning brush device 10 further includes a third connector 183 communicating between the first outlet, the first output component 15a and the water pump 11a, and / or the cleaning brush device 10 further includes a fourth connector 184 communicating between the second outlet, the second output component 15b and the air pump 13a.

[0079] It should be noted that the third connector 183 allows the clean water and cleaning fluid to be pre-mixed to form a mixture before entering the first input component. The fourth connector 184 allows the cleaning fluid and gas to be pre-mixed to generate foam before entering the second output component 15b. Understandably, the third connector 183 and the fourth connector 184 can each be configured as a tee fitting.

[0080] See Figure 7 In some embodiments, the cleaning brush device 10 further includes a foam generator connected between the second output component 15b and the fourth connector 184. Thus, when cleaning fluid and gas are mixed, abundant foam can be generated in the foam generator to improve cleaning effectiveness.

[0081] Specifically, with Figure 7 Taking the directional valve 14 shown as a two-position three-way valve as an example, Figure 7 The cleaning brush device 10 shown outputs various cleaning media and is explained in accordance with the corresponding cleaning modes.

[0082] exist Figure 7 In the first operating position of the directional control valve 14 shown, the inlet of the directional control valve 14 is connected to the first outlet, and the second outlet is closed. At this time, the cleaning brush device 10 can use the cleaning brush 17 to clean the dirt. It can be understood that in... Figure 7 In the first operating position of the reversing valve 14 shown, both the clean water inlet pipe 11 and the cleaning fluid inlet pipe 12 are connected to the first output component 15a. If the water pump 11a is started and the cleaning fluid pump 12a is turned off, the first output component 15a can output clean water to the cleaning brush 17, and the cleaning brush device 10 is in clean water mode. If the water pump 11a is turned off and the cleaning fluid pump 12a is started, the first output component 15a can output cleaning fluid to the cleaning brush 17, and the cleaning brush device 10 is in cleaning fluid mode. If both the water pump 11a and the cleaning fluid pump 12a are started, the first output component 15a can output a mixed solution to the cleaning brush 17, and the cleaning brush device 10 is in mixed solution mode.

[0083] Furthermore, when the reversing valve 14 is in its first operating position, although the second outlet of the reversing valve 14 is closed and the cleaning fluid cannot enter the second output component 15b, the gas input pipe 13 can still be connected to the second output component 15b, so the air pump 13a can also be started, causing the second output component 15b to output gas. At this time, the gas mode of the cleaning brush device 10 can be combined with any of the following: water mode, cleaning fluid mode, or mixed fluid mode. In this way, the first output component 15a and the second output component 15b can be used simultaneously and output different cleaning media respectively, so that the cleaning brush device 10 can combine different cleaning modes.

[0084] Thus, when the cleaning brush device 10 is used in combination with two different cleaning modes, it may include the following example: Figure 7 In the first operating position of the reversing valve 14 shown, if the water pump 11a, cleaning fluid pump 12a, and air pump 13a are started, the first output component 15a can output the mixed liquid, and the second output component 15b can output gas. If the water pump 11a and air pump 13a are started, and the cleaning fluid pump 12a is turned off, the first output component 15a can output clean water, and the second output component 15b can output gas. If the cleaning fluid pump 12a and air pump 13a are started, and the water pump 11a is turned off, the first output component 15a can output cleaning fluid, and the second output component 15b can output gas. Taking a floor scrubber as an example, when the user cleans the floor with a wet cleaning brush 17, the floor scrubber can also blow air during the cleaning process to dry the cleaning water marks, speed up the drying of the floor, and reduce the drying time. Of course, in other embodiments, the air pump 13a may not be started, and this disclosure does not impose any restrictions.

[0085] exist Figure 7 The second operating position of the directional control valve 14 is shown, with the inlet and second outlet of the directional control valve 14 connected, and the first outlet closed. At this time, Figure 7 The cleaning brush device 10 shown can directly spray and clean dirt in specific areas. Understandably, in... Figure 7 In the second operating position of the reversing valve 14 shown, both the cleaning fluid inlet pipe 12 and the gas inlet pipe 13 are connected to the second output component 15b. If the cleaning fluid is activated and the air pump 13a is deactivated, the second output component 15b can spray cleaning fluid onto the dirty area, and the cleaning brush device 10 is in cleaning fluid mode. If both the cleaning fluid pump 12a and the air pump 13a are activated, the second output component 15b can spray cleaning fluid foam onto the dirty area, and the cleaning brush device 10 is in foam mode. If the air pump 13a is activated and the cleaning fluid pump 12a is deactivated, the second output component 15b can spray gas onto the dirty area to dry cleaning marks, or the second output component 15b can blow away residual cleaning fluid crystals on the second output component 15b to prevent clogging, and the cleaning brush 17 is in gas mode.

[0086] Furthermore, when the reversing valve 14 is in its second operating position, although the first outlet of the reversing valve 14 is closed and the cleaning fluid cannot enter the first output component 15a, the clean water input pipe 11 can still be connected to the first output component 15a. Therefore, the water pump 11a can also be started, allowing the first output component 15a to output clean water to the cleaning brush 17. At this time, the clean water mode of the cleaning brush device 10 can be combined with any of the following: gas mode, cleaning fluid mode, or foam mode. In this way, the first output component 15a and the second output component 15b can be used simultaneously, each outputting a different cleaning medium, enabling the cleaning brush device 10 to combine different cleaning modes. Of course, in other embodiments, the water pump 11a may not be started, and this disclosure does not impose any limitations.

[0087] Thus, when the cleaning brush device 10 is used in combination with two different cleaning modes, it may also include the following example: In Figure 7 In the second operating position of the reversing valve 14 shown, if the water pump 11a and air pump 13a are started and the cleaning fluid pump 12a is closed, the second output component 15b can output gas and the first output component 15a can output clean water. If the water pump 11a, cleaning fluid pump 12a, and air pump 13a are started, the second output component 15b can output foam and the first output component 15a can output clean water. If the water pump 11a and cleaning fluid pump 12a are started and air pump 13a is closed, the second output component 15b can output cleaning fluid and the first output component 15a can output clean water. Taking a floor scrubber as an example, when the user cleans the floor with the cleaning brush 17 moistened with clean water, the floor scrubber can also spray cleaning fluid or foam on stubborn dirt during the cleaning process to increase the cleaning power of the floor scrubber and save cleaning fluid. Of course, in other embodiments, the water pump 11a may not be started, and the floor scrubber may only perform spot cleaning operations; this disclosure does not impose any limitations.

[0088] In other embodiments, in Figure 7 In the cleaning brush device 10 shown, the reversing valve 14 of the cleaning brush device 10 can be a three-position three-way valve. Figure 7 The structure of the reversing valve 14 shown is different. In the middle position of the three-position three-way valve, the inlet of the three-position three-way valve can be connected to both outlets, so that the cleaning fluid input pipeline 12 can simultaneously connect the first output component 15a and the second output component 15b.

[0089] When the cleaning fluid inlet pipe 12 is simultaneously connected to the first output component 15a and the second output component 15b, the cleaning brush device 10 includes the following examples:

[0090] For example, if water pump 11a, cleaning fluid pump 12a, and air pump 13a are all activated, the first output component 15a of the cleaning brush device 10 can output a mixture of clean water and cleaning fluid, and the second output component 15b can output cleaning fluid foam, a mixture of cleaning fluid and gas. In this way, the cleaning brush device 10 can not only use the cleaning brush 17, soaked in the mixture, to clean dirt, but also directly spray foam onto surfaces such as floors or carpets during the cleaning process, thereby enhancing the cleaning power of the cleaning brush device 10 and enriching its cleaning modes.

[0091] For example, if the cleaning liquid pump 12a is turned off and both the water pump 11a and the air pump 13a are started, the first output component 15a and the second output component 15b of the cleaning brush device 10 can also output sparkling water at the same time.

[0092] For example, if the cleaning fluid pump 12a is started and the water pump 11a and air pump 13a are turned off, both the first output component 15a and the second output component 15b of the cleaning brush device 10 can output cleaning fluid.

[0093] certainly, Figure 7 The reversing valve 14 of the cleaning brush device 10 shown can also be a four-way valve or a five-way valve, etc., and the reversing valve 14 has several working positions. The manufacturer can set it according to the user's needs, and this disclosure does not impose any restrictions.

[0094] Of course, in other embodiments, when the cleaning brush device 10 has at least two sets of output components 15, each output component 15 may be positioned towards the cleaning brush 17, or each output component 15 may be positioned towards the floor or carpet awaiting cleaning; this disclosure does not impose any limitations. Furthermore, other control valves such as shut-off valves, speed regulating valves, or pressure regulating valves may be installed on each input pipe of the cleaning brush device 10. These control valves and the reversing valve 14 can be used in combination; this disclosure does not impose any limitations.

[0095] In conjunction with the above, the cleaning brush device 10 provided in this disclosure can connect at least one of the clean water input pipe 11, the cleaning liquid input pipe 12, and the gas input pipe 13 to at least one output component 15. The connected output component 15 can correspondingly input one or more cleaning media among clean water, cleaning liquid, and gas, so that the cleaning brush device 10 can correspondingly provide clean water mode, cleaning liquid mode, gas mode, mixed liquid mode, sparkling water mode, or foam mode, etc.

[0096] Understandably, in the clean water mode, clean water can be used to wash away easily cleanable light dirt such as dust or sweat stains. The clean water can be unpolluted natural water sources such as groundwater or tap water, or domestic water. The clean water inlet pipe 11 can be connected to the tap water system to fill with clean water, or the cleaning brush device 10 can have its own clean water storage tank to supply clean water; this disclosure does not impose any limitations.

[0097] In the cleaning solution mode, the cleaning solution can be used to clean stubborn dirt such as oil stains, mold, or limescale. Understandably, the cleaning solution includes various cleaning solutions such as oil stain cleaner, floor cleaner, fabric cleaner, carpet cleaner, glass cleaner, disinfectant cleaner, or mold remover, and this disclosure does not limit the scope of the application.

[0098] Understandably, compared to the cleaning solution mode, the concentration of cleaning solution in the mixed solution mode is lower than that in the cleaning solution mode. Essentially, the cleaning solution is diluted with water to form a mixed solution. The cleaning power of the mixed solution cleaning mode is higher than that of the water mode but lower than that of the cleaning solution mode. Users can choose to use the mixed solution cleaning mode based on the degree of dirtiness or their customized usage needs; this disclosure does not impose any limitations. Furthermore, the mixed solution cleaning mode can improve cleaning power compared to the water mode and save on cleaning solution usage compared to the cleaning solution mode.

[0099] In the sparkling water mode, clean water disperses upon impact with gas, forming sparkling water, which ensures even spraying of the water, preventing uneven cleaning of dirt and reducing watermark residue. Furthermore, in the sparkling water mode of the cleaning brush device 10, this disclosure does not limit the size of the water droplets in the sparkling water.

[0100] Thus, the cleaning brush device 10 provided in this disclosure can provide multiple cleaning modes such as water mode, cleaning liquid mode, gas mode, mixed liquid mode, sparkling water mode, cleaning liquid foam mode, and mixed liquid foam mode, so as to enrich the cleaning modes, thereby improving the cleaning power of the cleaning brush device 10 and enriching the user experience.

[0101] Understandably, the order of use of each output component 15 is not limited in this disclosure. Users can switch each output component 15 by operating the buttons according to their own needs. Manufacturers can also install a control module in the cleaning brush device 10 or the cleaning equipment 1 adapted to the cleaning brush device 10, and adaptively switch each group of output components 15 through the setting program in the control module. This disclosure will not elaborate on this.

[0102] In other embodiments, this disclosure also provides a cleaning brush device 10, including two output components 15, a power component for supplying cleaning medium to the two output components 15, and a connecting component 18. The two output components 15 include a first output component 15a and a second output component 15b. The power component includes a water pump 11a, a cleaning liquid pump 12a, and an air pump 13a. The connecting component 18 includes a first mixing structure and a second mixing structure. The first mixing structure is connected between the water pump 11a, the cleaning liquid pump 12a, and the first output component 15a. The second mixing structure is connected between the cleaning liquid pump 12a, the air pump 13a, and the second output component 15b.

[0103] Understandably, each mixing structure can be composed of a cavity formed by the intersection of the input pipes, or it can be composed of a pipe joint connected to each input pipe. Each mixing structure can also be an independent connector with a cavity; this disclosure does not impose any limitations. Each mixing structure is used to mix at least two cleaning media from water, cleaning fluid, or gas, so that the corresponding cleaning media can fully contact and mix evenly before being output through the corresponding output component 15. For example, the first mixing structure and the second mixing structure can each be a tee pipe joint. The first mixing structure allows water and cleaning fluid to be mixed to form a mixture before being output through the first output component 15a, while the second mixing structure allows cleaning fluid and gas to be pre-mixed to generate foam before being output through the second output component 15b.

[0104] See Figure 8 In addition to the cleaning brush device 10 described above, this disclosure also provides a cleaning device 1.

[0105] The cleaning equipment 1 includes a main body 20, a control device, and any of the above-mentioned cleaning brush devices 10. The control device is installed on the main body 20 and / or the cleaning brush device 10. The control device is electrically connected to the reversing valve 14 to control the operation of the reversing valve 14.

[0106] It should be noted that, taking a floor scrubber as an example, the main unit 20 may include a handle assembly detachably connected to the cleaning brush assembly 10. A water tank 30 may be installed on the handle assembly for easy removal and addition of clean water by the user. Of course, the water tank 30 may also be installed on the housing assembly 16 of the cleaning brush assembly 10; this disclosure does not impose any limitations. Correspondingly, a cleaning solution tank 40 may also be installed on the handle assembly for easy removal and addition of cleaning solution by the user. Of course, the cleaning solution tank 40 may also be installed on the housing assembly 16 of the cleaning brush assembly 10; this disclosure does not impose any limitations.

[0107] The main unit 20 and the cleaning brush device 10 can be detachably connected to facilitate the replacement or maintenance of the cleaning brush device 10. Taking the replacement of the cleaning brush device 10 as an example, the cleaning brush device 10 can be a floor brush for cleaning floors, a glass scraper for cleaning glass, a cleaning brush for cleaning fabrics or carpets, a garment steamer for cleaning clothes, or a brush head for cleaning dirt, etc., and this disclosure does not impose any limitations. In this way, the cleaning equipment 1 can accommodate the use of various cleaning brush devices 10, so that the cleaning equipment 1 has multiple uses and enriches the user experience.

[0108] The control device can be used to set cleaning programs, enabling the reversing valve 14 to automatically switch between various cleaning modes according to the set cleaning programs, thereby improving the intelligence of the equipment. The control device can also be used to customize cleaning modes, enabling the reversing valve 14 to switch between various cleaning modes according to user input commands, in order to adapt to various user needs.

[0109] As an example, the control device includes operation buttons installed on the main unit 20 and a controller electrically connected to the operation buttons. The controller is electrically connected to the reversing valve 14 to switch the output state of the reversing valve 14 via the operation buttons. Alternatively, the controller can also be electrically connected to mobile devices such as smartphones, computers, or tablets, allowing users to switch between various cleaning modes via corresponding application software or applications within these devices.

[0110] As an example, the cleaning device 1 also includes a dirt detection device electrically connected to the control device to switch the output state of the reversing valve 14 according to the degree of dirt detected by the dirt detection device. Understandably, the dirt detection device may include a camera assembly, a photoelectric sensor assembly, or an electrostatic adsorption detection assembly, etc., and this disclosure is not limiting.

[0111] Understandably, the power supply components (such as water pump 11a, cleaning liquid pump 12a, or air pump 13a) installed on each input pipeline can also be electrically connected to the control device to adjust the start and stop of each pump body through the control device, thereby controlling the delivery of one or more combinations of cleaning media, such as clean water, cleaning liquid, or gas, to the corresponding output component 15. This disclosure does not impose any limitations.

[0112] In addition, the cleaning device 1 provided in this disclosure may also be equipped with a dirt bin for collecting dirt processed by the cleaning device 1. The dirt bin may be installed on the main body 20 or on the cleaning brush device 10, and this disclosure does not impose any restrictions.

[0113] The cleaning equipment 1 provided in this disclosure includes floor scrubbers, robot vacuum cleaners, vacuum cleaners, carpet cleaners or fabric cleaners, etc., and this disclosure does not impose any restrictions.

[0114] Understandably, the term "electrical connection" as used in this disclosure can be understood as a wired signal connection or a wireless signal connection. Wired signal connections include wire connections, fiber optic connections, or power line communication, while wireless signal connections include radio frequency signals, satellite communication, infrared communication, Bluetooth communication, short-range wireless communication technologies, etc. This disclosure does not impose any limitations.

[0115] Understandably, the term "rotational connection" as used in this disclosure can be understood as a connection method that allows for a certain degree of relative movement between components, permitting displacement or rotation between components, in order to provide a certain degree of flexibility, freedom of movement, or stress relief between different components. Rotational connections include, but are not limited to, ball joints, hinges, universal joints, or elastic connections, etc., and this disclosure does not impose any limitations.

[0116] It should be noted that when one component is considered to be "fixedly connected" to another component, the connection can be either detachable or non-detachable, as long as force can be transmitted. For example, methods such as shaft connection, sleeve connection, snap-fit ​​connection, plug-in connection, integral molding, and welding are feasible in traditional technologies and can be flexibly selected according to the actual application requirements. For instance, one component may have a non-cylindrical part, and the other component may have a mating hole for transmission with the non-cylindrical part. Non-cylindrical parts include polygonal cylinders, elliptical cylinders, semi-cylindrical parts, etc., which will not be elaborated upon in this disclosure.
