[0002] Among various cleaning equipment, floor scrubbers, with their high efficiency, convenience, and environmental friendliness, have become an important tool in commercial, industrial, and even household cleaning fields. By integrating key components such as brushes or suction cups, water tanks, motors, and control systems, floor scrubbers achieve automated floor cleaning and drying. However, existing floor scrubbers suffer from the following technical problems:

[0003] To facilitate cleaning areas close to walls, existing floor scrubbers are usually equipped with side brushes. However, it is not convenient for users to automatically control the side brushes to open based on the distance between the side brushes and the wall when cleaning the floor.

[0004] Therefore, we propose an infrared sensing side brush control structure for floor scrubbers to solve the problems mentioned above. Summary of the Invention

However, when cleaning the floor, it is not convenient for users to automatically control the side brush to open based on the distance between the side brush and the wall.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an infrared sensing side brush control structure for a floor scrubber, including a support base and a clean water tank shell installed on the upper end of the support base. An infrared ranging sensor is provided on the side of the support base, and a cleaning side brush is provided on the side of the infrared ranging sensor. The infrared ranging sensor is used to control the cleaning side brush to automatically open by measuring the distance value.

[0007] Preferably, the infrared ranging sensor is located in a through groove opened on the side of the support base, and the side of the through groove away from the center of the support base is set as an open structure.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the infrared ranging sensor can be used to measure the distance between the support base and the wall.

[0009] Preferably, a main roller brush and a roller are installed on the front and rear sides of the support base, respectively, and the cleaning side brush is located between the main roller brush and the roller on the side of the support base.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the cleaning efficiency of the floor scrubber's brush can be improved by setting up the side brush.

[0011] Preferably, the infrared ranging sensor and the control element of the cleaning side brush are electrically connected, and the cleaning side brush extends outward from the side of the support base.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the infrared ranging sensor can be used to transmit signals to the control element, thereby enabling the control element to automatically open the cleaning side brush.

[0013] Preferably, the distance between the side of the support base and the wall is measured by the infrared ranging sensor as D1, and the distance by which the cleaning brush extends outward from the side of the support base is D2. D2 is used as the threshold for the infrared ranging sensor to control the cleaning brush to automatically open.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: the floor scrubber uses an infrared sensing side brush control structure. By setting an infrared distance sensor on the side of the support base, the distance between the end of the cleaning side brush extending out of the support base and the wall surface is measured, thereby controlling the cleaning side brush to open automatically and realizing automatic cleaning of the wall side area.

[0015] 1. An infrared distance sensor is installed. The infrared distance sensor can be used to measure the distance between the side of the support base and the wall. By comparing the distance D1 between the side of the support base and the wall and the distance D2 of the cleaning brush extending outward from the side of the support base, the infrared distance sensor can transmit the signal to the control element, so that the cleaning brush can be turned on automatically.

[0016] 2. A through groove is provided. By opening a through groove on the side of the support base, an infrared ranging sensor is accommodated, thereby avoiding the infrared ranging sensor being directly installed on the surface of the support base and preventing the infrared ranging sensor from being exposed and damaged by collision with external objects when the floor brush moves to clean.
