[0021] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0022] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate for the embodiments of this application described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or apparatus.

[0023] In this application, the terms "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "front," "rear," "top," "bottom," "inner," "outer," "middle," "vertical," "horizontal," "lateral," and "longitudinal" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. These terms are primarily for the purpose of better describing the present invention and its embodiments, and are not intended to limit the indicated device, element, or component to having a specific orientation, or to be constructed and operated in a specific orientation.

[0024] Furthermore, in addition to indicating direction or positional relationship, some of the aforementioned terms may also have other meanings. For example, the term "above" may also be used in some cases to indicate a certain dependency or connection relationship. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of these terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0025] Furthermore, the terms "installation," "setup," "equipped with," "connection," "linking," and "socketing" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral structure; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or an internal connection between two devices, components, or parts. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of these terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0026] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. This application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0027] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 This utility model provides a floor brush, including a housing 1 and a roller brush 2 fixed to the front end of the housing 1. The floor brush also includes an assist device 3, which is disposed at the rear end of the housing 1. The assist device 3 accumulates energy during the forward movement of the roller brush 2 and releases energy when the roller brush 2 moves backward.

[0028] This invention uses the assist device 3 to store energy during the forward movement of the floor brush and release energy when the floor brush moves backward, making it easier for users to drag the floor brush backward and improving the user experience.

[0029] In some embodiments, the assist device 3 includes at least one roller, a gear set, and a spring, with the gear set connected to both the roller and the spring. The roller is located externally to the housing 1 and is connected to the gear set located inside the housing 1 via a rotating shaft. When the floor brush is pushed forward, the roller rotates, and the rotating shaft connected to the roller drives the gear set to rotate. The spring, which is in contact with the gear set, stores energy under the drive of the gear set. Conversely, the energy stored in the spring acts on the gear set, which in turn drives the roller to rotate in the opposite direction via the rotating shaft, causing the floor brush to move backward. This makes it easier for the user to drag the floor brush backward, improving the user experience.

[0030] Furthermore, the power assist device 3 also includes a mounting housing, in which the gear set and the mainspring are centrally mounted. The mounting housing is installed inside the housing 1. By mounting the gear set and the mainspring inside the mounting housing, the power assist device 3 is integrated into one unit, which facilitates the installation and disassembly of the power assist device 3.

[0031] In some embodiments, the floor brush further includes a scraper assembly 4, which is mounted on the housing 1 and located at the front end of the roller brush 2. The scraper assembly 4 is detachably mounted on the housing 1 and has a first position and a second position relative to the housing 1. In the first position, the lower end of the scraper assembly 4 is in contact with the ground; in the second position, the lower end of the scraper assembly 4 is detached from the ground.

[0032] By setting a scraper assembly at the front end of the roller brush 2, the scraper assembly can effectively scrape away dirt and improve the cleaning effect of the floor brush.

[0033] Furthermore, the scraper assembly 4 can rotate back and forth between the first position and the second position. By rotating the scraper assembly 4 back and forth between the first position and the second position, stubborn dirt on the ground can be scraped off, improving the cleaning effect of the floor brush.

[0034] Furthermore, the scraper assembly 4 includes a mounting base 42 and a scraper 41. The mounting base 42 is detachably mounted on the seat of the housing 1, and the scraper is detachably mounted on the mounting base 42. During the continuous cleaning process of the floor brush, the scraper assembly 4 experiences severe wear due to hard friction with the floor. Long-term wear will affect the scraping effect of the scraper assembly 4 on removing dirt. Since the scraper assembly 4 is detachably connected to the seat, when the scraper assembly 4 is severely worn, it can be removed and replaced with a new one. Other parts of the floor brush do not need to be replaced, thus ensuring a good dirt removal effect. At the same time, replacing only the scraper assembly 4 reduces replacement costs.

[0035] The mounting base 42 is provided with a first mounting part, and the housing 1 is provided with a second mounting part. The first mounting part and the second mounting part cooperate with each other so that the mounting base 42 can rotate relative to the housing 1. The rotation of the mounting base 42 allows the scraper assembly 4 to rotate back and forth between the first position and the second position.

[0036] In some embodiments, the scraper assembly 4 further includes a switching element 43, which is connected to the mounting base 42 and can drive the mounting base 42 to switch between a first position and a second position. When the mounting base 42 is in the first position, the lower end of the scraper 41 is in contact with the ground; when the mounting base 42 is in the second position, the lower end of the scraper 41 is disengaged from the ground.

[0037] This utility model also provides a cleaning device, including the aforementioned floor brush.

[0038] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to the above embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
