Detailed Implementation

[0020] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0021] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used herein in the specification of this application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of this application.

[0022] Please see Figures 1 to 4, some embodiments of the present application provide a gap cleaning structure 1, including a box body 10 and a brush head 20. The box body 10 includes a first box body 11 and a second box body 12. The first box body 11 is movably connected to the second box body 12 to form a receiving space 13 together with the second box body 12. The brush head 20 includes a connecting member 21 and bristles 22 provided on the connecting member 21. The connecting member 21 is rotatably connected to the first box body 11. The bristles 22 can be selectively received inside or outside the receiving space 13 as the connecting member 21 rotates. It can be understood that in the non-use state, the first box body 11 covers the second box body 12, and the bristles 22 are received inside the receiving space 13. When cleaning is required, the first box body 11 is opened relative to the second box body 12, and the connecting member 21 is rotated so that the bristles 22 are switched from inside the receiving space 13 to outside the receiving space 13, and then the first box body 11 is rotated so that the first box body 11 covers the second box body 12. At this time, the entire box body 10 will be used as a handle for the user to hold and use the bristles 22 for cleaning. When the cleaning is completed, the first box body 11 is opened relative to the second box body 12, the connecting member 21 is rotated so that the bristles 22 are switched from outside the receiving space 13 to inside the receiving space 13, and then the first box body 11 is rotated so that the first box body 11 covers the second box body 12 to complete the storage of the brush head 20. That is, in some embodiments of the present application, the gap cleaning structure 1 enables the bristles 22 to be switched inside and outside the receiving space 13 through the rotatable design between the connecting member 21 and the box body 10. This design breaks through the limitation of the single storage function of the traditional box body 10 and endows the box body 10 with a dual use property - it serves as a storage box when idle and immediately becomes an operation handle when in use, truly achieving an efficient design of "integrating storage and use". Compared with traditional cleaning tools, the gap cleaning structure 1 not only perfectly balances the dual needs of cleaning and storage, but also solves the pain points of easy loss and inconvenient storage of tools with an integrated design, greatly improving the use convenience and storage efficiency, and bringing a better cleaning experience to users.

[0023] In some embodiments, the first box body 11 and the second box body 12 can be square as shown in FIGS. 1 to Figure 4 shown, or circular or other regular or irregular shapes, which are not limited herein.

[0024] In some embodiments, one side of the first box body 11 is rotatably connected to one side of the second box body 12. The connecting member 21 is rotatably connected to the opposite side of the rotational connection between the first box body 11 and the second box body 12. Of course, in some other embodiments, the connecting member 21 can also be rotatably connected to any side of the first box body 11 that is not rotatably connected to the second box body 12, which is not limited herein.

[0025] See Figure 3 and Figure 4, in some embodiments, both sides of the connecting member 21 extend outward to form connecting portions 23. The first box body 11 is provided with a mating portion 111 that mates with the connecting portion 23. The mating portion 111 is located within the receiving space 13. An opening 112 is formed on one side of the first box body 11. The connecting member 21 is located in the opening, and the connecting portion 23 is rotatably connected to the mating portion 111 so that the connecting member 21 is rotatably connected to the first box body 11.

[0026] Refer Figure 3 and Figure 4 , in some embodiments, the brush head 20 further includes a limiting portion 24. The limiting portion 24 is provided on the connecting portion 23 and is located within the receiving space 13. The limiting portion 24 selectively abuts against the first box body 11 as the connecting member 21 rotates. It can be understood that in the non-use state, the first box body 11 covers the second box body 12, and the bristles 22 are received within the receiving space 13. At this time, the limiting portion 24 does not abut against the first box body. When cleaning is required, the first box body 11 is opened relative to the second box body 12, and the connecting member 21 is rotated so that the bristles 22 are switched from within the receiving space 13 to outside the receiving space 13. At this time, the limiting portion 24 abuts against the first box body 11. When cleaning is completed, the first box body 11 is opened relative to the second box body 12, and the connecting member 21 is rotated so that the bristles 22 are switched from outside the receiving space 13 to within the receiving space 13. At this time, the limiting portion 24 is disengaged from the abutting relationship with the first box body 11. That is, the design of the limiting portion 24 limits the rotation angle of the brush head 20, effectively ensuring that the brush head 20 is instantly rotated to the use angle in the use state, greatly improving the use convenience and bringing a better cleaning experience to the user.

[0027] Refer Figure 3 and Figure 4 , in some embodiments, the first box body 11 is provided with a mating groove 113 that mates with the limiting portion 24. The limiting portion 24 is rotatably received within the mating groove 113 as the connecting member 21 rotates. It can be understood that in the non-use state, the first box body 11 covers the second box body 12, and the bristles 22 are received within the receiving space 13. At this time, the limiting portion 24 is not received within the mating groove 113. When cleaning is required, the first box body 11 is opened relative to the second box body 12, and the connecting member 21 is rotated so that the bristles 22 are switched from within the receiving space 13 to outside the receiving space 13. At this time, the limiting portion 24 is received within the mating groove 113. When cleaning is completed, the first box body 11 is opened relative to the second box body 12, and the connecting member 21 is rotated so that the bristles 22 are switched from outside the receiving space 13 to within the receiving space 13. At this time, the limiting portion 24 leaves the mating groove 113. That is, the design of the mating groove 113, when the limiting portion 24 is received within the mating groove 113, not only limits the position of the limiting portion 24 but also plays a positioning role.

[0028] Refer Figure 3 and Figure 4, in some embodiments, the gap cleaning structure 1 further includes a dust removal airbag 30. The dust removal airbag 30 is selectively received in the receiving space 13. It can be understood that the setting of the dust removal airbag 30 is used to enrich the functions of the gap cleaning structure 1.

[0029] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 , further, in some embodiments, the first box body 11 is recessed inward to form a first receiving cavity 114, and the second box body 12 is recessed inward to form a second receiving cavity 121. The receiving space 13, the first receiving cavity 114, and the second receiving cavity 121 are all interconnected. When the box body 10 is in the closed state (that is, when the first box body 11 covers the second box body 12), the first receiving cavity 114 and the second receiving cavity 121 are arranged opposite to each other. At this time, the dust removal airbag 30 is received in the first receiving cavity 114 and the second receiving cavity 121, which is used to limit the dust removal airbag 30 and ensure that the gap cleaning structure 1 always remains regular and orderly during storage.

[0030] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 , in some embodiments, the gap cleaning structure 1 further includes a gap brush 40. The gap brush 40 is selectively received in the receiving space 13. It can be understood that the setting of the gap brush 40 is used to enrich the functions of the gap cleaning structure 1.

[0031] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 , further, in some embodiments, the first box body 11 further has a mounting member 115 located in the receiving space, and the gap brush 40 is detachably arranged on the mounting member 115. It can be understood that the setting of the mounting member 115 is used to limit the storage position of the gap brush 40 and ensure that the gap cleaning structure 1 always remains regular and orderly during storage.

[0032] In some other embodiments, the mounting member 115 is not limited to being arranged on the first box body 11, and can also be arranged on the second box body 12.

[0033] See Figure 3 , in some embodiments, the gap cleaning structure 1 further includes a buckle 50 and a slot 60 cooperating with the buckle 50. The buckle 50 is detachably arranged in the slot 60. The buckle 50 is arranged on one of the first box body 11 and the second box body 12, and the slot 60 is arranged on the other of the first box body 11 and the second box body 12. In this way, through the cooperation of the buckle 50 and the slot 60, the box body 10 is ensured to be locked and the items in the storage box body 10 are prevented from falling.

[0034] See Figures 1 to 4In some embodiments, the crevice cleaning structure 1 further includes an auxiliary component 70 located outside the receiving space 13. The auxiliary component 70 is respectively disposed on the first housing 11 and the second housing 12. The auxiliary component 70 has a through hole 71, so that the user can use an item such as a rope to pass through the through hole 71 to carry or store the crevice cleaning structure 1.

[0035] It is understood that the location of the auxiliary component 70 is not limited to the above description, and it may also be located in one of the first box 11 and the second box 12.

[0036] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application in any way. Although the preferred embodiment has been disclosed above, it is not intended to limit this application. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the technical solution of this application. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of this application without departing from the scope of the technical solution of this application shall still fall within the scope of the technical solution of this application.
