Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an improvement of a hand-push dual-wheel sweeper, particularly an improvement of the dual-wheel assembly. Background Technology

[0002] Hand-push dual-wheel sweepers are widely used in various indoor and outdoor locations. Workers push the handle to move the sweeper forward. During the forward movement, the side brushes sweep the surrounding garbage to the working area of ​​the main brush. The main brush rotates at high speed, rolling up the garbage from the ground, and then sending the garbage into the garbage collection bin through the air duct or other conveying device.

[0003] There are two side brushes, each with a caster wheel underneath. The caster wheels are usually made of wear-resistant and non-slip rubber tires. The dual-wheel design makes the sweeper more stable during movement and can adapt to different ground conditions, such as flat cement ground and slightly undulating tile ground.

[0004] However, different debris has different sizes and densities, requiring the side brush to have different cleaning heights. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the shortcomings of current dual-wheel sweepers where the side brushes cannot be adjusted in height or are inconvenient to adjust, this utility model provides an adjustable height hand-push dual-wheel sweeper.

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows: an adjustable height hand-push double-wheel sweeper, including a main body, with traveling wheels on both sides of the main body, a pusher on the upper side of the main body, a main brush in the middle of the bottom surface of the main body, and two rotatable side brushes, one on the left and one on the right, on the front of the bottom surface of the main body. A through hole is provided at the central axis of the side brushes, and a movable universal wheel axle is provided in the through hole. A universal wheel is provided below the universal wheel axle. It also includes a left-right movable adjusting crossbar, with parallel adjusting grooves at both ends of the adjusting crossbar. An outlet is provided at the lower end of the adjusting groove, and hanging edges are provided on both sides of the outlet. A hanging head is provided at the upper end of the universal wheel axle, and the hanging head is movably mounted on the adjusting groove. Thus, the left-right movement of the adjusting crossbar will drive the universal wheel axle to move up and down. The adjusting crossbar has a rack portion, and a knob is provided on the upper side of the main body. The knob's knob shaft is inserted into the main body, and a gear is fixedly connected below the knob shaft. The gear meshes with the rack portion for transmission.

[0007] To facilitate gear positioning and gear selection, the gear is coaxially connected to a positioning disk. The positioning disk has a positioning groove around the gear shaft. The main body is located below the positioning groove and has a spring ball that can extend into the positioning groove for positioning.

[0008] The adjustable gears are optimized, and the positioning grooves are provided in total with 16, which correspond to the eight gears on the left side and the eight gears on the right side of the adjustment bar.

[0009] To ensure a secure hold, the spring balls are provided in two sets, symmetrically arranged on both sides of the gear shaft.

[0010] A preferred structure for a swivel wheel includes a swivel wheel mounting portion located below the swivel wheel axle. The swivel wheel mounting portion has a horizontal shaft and a bent rod connecting the horizontal shaft, and the swivel wheel is mounted on the horizontal shaft.

[0011] A specific arrangement of an adjusting crossbar, wherein the adjusting crossbar is located in an adjusting chamber, and the hanger of the universal wheel axle extends into the adjusting chamber and hangs on the adjusting inclined groove.

[0012] An additional conduit structure is added, with the through hole in the middle of the side brush located on the conduit.

[0013] To facilitate knob operation, an operating section is provided on the upper part of the knob.

[0014] To further facilitate operation, the operating section is equipped with indicator markings.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment, the positioning disk and the gear are integrated, a bushing is provided above the positioning disk, and the lower end of the knob shaft is connected and fixed to the bushing.

[0016] This invention allows the adjustment bar to be moved in the same way as the adjustment knob. Moving the adjustment bar left and right will cause the universal wheel shaft on the adjustment groove to move up and down, so that the universal wheel can adjust the vertical distance relative to the side brush in the vertical direction, thereby selecting the optimal cleaning height.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. Improved cleaning effect: On uneven ground, such as potholed outdoor roads or indoor thresholds with height differences, the casters can be raised by adjusting the knob, allowing the main brush to better contact the ground and ensuring a better cleaning effect. For smooth and flat ground, appropriately lowering the height of the casters allows the sweeper to run more smoothly and reduces the impact of shaking on cleaning. To handle different types of garbage, when sweeping heavier, larger particles, raising the casters allows the main brush to have greater pressure on the ground and more effectively pick up the garbage; when sweeping lighter dust, lowering the height of the casters allows for fine-tuning the distance between the main brush and the ground, avoiding excessive disturbance of dust and subsequent dust generation. 2. Extended equipment lifespan and reduced component wear in environments with poor ground conditions: By adjusting the height of the casters, the various components of the sweeper can operate under appropriate pressure and position, effectively reducing wear and extending the equipment's lifespan.
