Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Floor scrubbers, as an important tool for improving household cleaning efficiency, are gradually becoming an indispensable cleaning device in modern homes. Equipped with floor brushes, floor scrubbers combine efficient scrubbing and vacuuming functions to quickly remove various types of dirt, debris, and liquid stains from floors.

[0003] Traditional floor scrubbers typically use one or more roller brushes, with the suction port located behind the center of the roller brush. After the roller brush completes its scrubbing motion, the dirt is immediately sucked into the scrubber's collection tank through the suction port. Because the suction port is located behind the roller brush, as the roller brush continuously pushes dirt from the floor backward, larger debris, hair, or fibrous waste can easily accumulate at the suction port. This can not only cause blockage, affecting the cleaning effect, but may also damage the scrubber's electronic components. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a cleaning head and cleaning device that can avoid clogging of the suction port and improve the suction effect in order to address the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0005] In a first aspect, this application provides a cleaning head, comprising:

[0006] The body includes a base plate;

[0007] A cleaning component, wherein the cleaning component is disposed opposite to the base plate;

[0008] A movable connecting mechanism is provided, through which the cleaning component and the base plate can move relative to each other, allowing a gap of variable width to be formed between the cleaning component and the base plate, so that dirt can enter the cleaning head through the gap.

[0009] In one embodiment, the cleaning component is connected to the movable connecting mechanism, and the cleaning component is movable through the movable connecting mechanism so that a gap of variable width can be formed between the cleaning component and the base plate.

[0010] In one embodiment, the active connection mechanism includes:

[0011] A support member, which is disposed on the body;

[0012] A rotating component, which is connected to the body via the support component and is capable of rotating around the body;

[0014] In one embodiment, it further includes:

[0015] An interference element is provided, which abuts against a cleaning element and is used to perform a self-cleaning operation on the cleaning element.

[0016] In one embodiment, the interference member moves synchronously under the action of the movable connecting mechanism so that the interference member remains in contact with the cleaning member.

[0017] In one embodiment, the interference element includes at least one of a rotating interference element and comb teeth.

[0018] In one embodiment, when the interference element includes a rotating interference element, the cleaning head further includes:

[0019] A cutting component is used to cut the wrapped material on the working surface of the rotating interference component.

[0020] In one embodiment, the active connection mechanism includes:

[0021] A support member, which is disposed on the body;

[0022] A rotating component, which is connected to the body via the support component and is capable of rotating around the body;

[0024] The second connector is used to connect the interference member and the rotating member, so that the interference member and the rotating member rotate together around the body.

[0025] In one embodiment, the first connector and the second connector are at least partially integrally formed.

[0026] In one embodiment, the rotating member includes:

[0027] A cover plate, which forms a receiving space with the base plate, and the cleaning component is located in the receiving space.

[0028] In one embodiment, it further includes:

[0029] A dirt-collecting chamber is disposed opposite to the interference member and connected to the base plate, for accommodating dirt that enters the cleaning head through the interference member or the gap;

[0030] A suction channel is provided to connect the suction device and the collection chamber, so as to clean the dirt in the collection chamber by means of the suction device.

[0031] In one embodiment, the body has opposing sidewalls, at least one sidewall having an air inlet communicating with the dirt collection chamber.

[0032] In one embodiment, the dirt-collecting chamber is a groove disposed approximately along the axial direction of the cleaning component.

[0033] In one embodiment, it further includes:

[0034] A cover plate, which is connected to the body and forms a receiving space with the base plate, and the cleaning component is located in the receiving space;

[0035] The cleaning component is in contact with the cover plate under the action of the movable connecting mechanism.

[0036] The cleaning head, cleaning component, and base plate are connected by a movable mechanism, allowing them to move relative to each other. This creates a gap of variable width between the cleaning component and the base plate, which can adapt to dirt of different sizes. When encountering larger debris particles, the gap automatically widens, allowing the dirt to pass through smoothly and effectively preventing dirt from accumulating at the suction port.

[0037] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide a cleaning head, comprising:

[0038] Cleaning components are used to perform cleaning operations on surfaces to be cleaned.

[0039] A base plate, which is disposed opposite to the cleaning component;

[0040] A movable connecting mechanism allows the cleaning component to move relative to the base plate, creating a gap of variable width between the cleaning component and the base plate, allowing dirt to enter the cleaning head through the gap.

[0041] In one embodiment, the active connection mechanism includes:

[0042] A rotating component, which is connected to the body of the cleaning head and is capable of rotating around the body;

[0043] A first connector is used to connect the cleaning component and the rotating component, so that the cleaning component and the rotating component rotate together around the body.

[0044] In one embodiment, the rotating member includes:

[0045] A cover plate, which forms a receiving space with the base plate, and the cleaning component is located in the receiving space.

[0046] The aforementioned cleaning head and cleaning component move relative to the base plate under the action of the movable connecting mechanism, allowing a variable-width gap to be formed between the cleaning component and the base plate. This allows it to adapt to dirt of different sizes. When encountering larger debris particles, the gap automatically widens, allowing the dirt to pass through smoothly and effectively preventing dirt from accumulating at the suction port.

[0047] Thirdly, embodiments of this application provide a cleaning head, comprising:

[0048] Cleaning components are used to perform cleaning operations on surfaces to be cleaned.

[0049] An interference element is provided, which abuts against a cleaning element and is used to perform a self-cleaning operation on the cleaning element.

[0050] A base plate, which is disposed opposite to the cleaning component;

[0051] A movable connecting mechanism is provided, through which the cleaning component and the base plate can move relative to each other, allowing a gap of variable width to be formed between the cleaning component and the base plate, so that dirt can enter the cleaning head through the gap.

[0052] The aforementioned cleaning head, cleaning component, and base plate are connected by a movable mechanism, allowing for a variable-width gap between them. This adapts to different sizes of debris; when encountering larger particles, the gap automatically widens, allowing the debris to pass through smoothly and effectively preventing accumulation at the suction port. Simultaneously, the interference component maintains continuous contact with the cleaning head, effectively removing tangled debris and stains, keeping the cleaning component clean.

[0053] In one embodiment, the cleaning component and the interference component move synchronously under the action of the movable connecting mechanism, so that the interference component and the cleaning component remain in contact, while a gap of variable width can be formed between the cleaning component and the base plate.

[0054] Fourthly, embodiments of this application provide a cleaning head, comprising:

[0055] The body includes a base plate;

[0056] A cleaning component, wherein the cleaning component is disposed opposite to the base plate;

[0057] A movable connecting mechanism is provided, through which the cleaning component and the base plate can move relative to each other, allowing a gap of variable width to be formed between the cleaning component and the base plate;

[0058] A dirt collection chamber, which is connected to the base plate, is used to collect dirt that enters the cleaning head through the gap;

[0059] A suction channel is provided to connect the suction device and the collection chamber, so as to clean the dirt in the collection chamber by means of the suction device.

[0060] In one embodiment, the body has opposing sidewalls, at least one sidewall having an air inlet communicating with the dirt collection chamber.

[0061] The aforementioned cleaning head, cleaning component, and base plate are connected by a movable mechanism, allowing for a variable-width gap between them. This adapts to different sizes of debris; when encountering larger particles, the gap automatically widens, allowing the debris to pass through smoothly and effectively preventing accumulation at the suction port. Debris enters the collection chamber through the gap, where it is collected and temporarily stored. This collection chamber forms a relatively enclosed, concentrated suction area, effectively utilizing suction power, saving energy, and improving the cleaning efficiency of the internal components.

[0062] Fifthly, this application provides a cleaning device including the cleaning head described in any of the above embodiments. By using the cleaning head described in the above embodiments, not only can the clogging of the suction tube be avoided, effectively improving the suction utilization rate of the suction device and increasing cleaning efficiency, but the suction device can also be kept in good working condition and its service life extended.

[0080] Example 1

[0081] This invention provides a cleaning device, which can be a passive cleaning device (such as a floor scrubber, fabric cleaner, carpet cleaner, or vacuum cleaner) or an automatic cleaning device (such as a sweeper or window cleaner). The cleaning device includes one or more of the following: a cleaning head, a body, a water tank, a suction device, and a power supply. The cleaning head is connected to the body. The water tank, suction device, and power supply can be located on the body, or partially on the body and partially on the cleaning head. During cleaning, the cleaning head contacts the surface to be cleaned (such as a floor, carpet, fabric, or window). The power supply provides power to the suction device, enabling it to draw dirt from the surface to be cleaned into the collection tank.

[0082] In one embodiment, such as Figures 1-8 As shown, a cleaning head 10 is provided, which includes a body 11, a cover plate 12, a cleaning component 13, and a movable connecting mechanism 14. Wherein:

[0083] Body 11: Body 11 includes a base plate 111 and a main housing 112. The base plate 111 and the main housing 112 can be integrally injection molded or connected by welding or other methods. The main housing 112 has an internal space for housing some functional components of the cleaning equipment, such as water pumps, solenoid valves, and wires, which will not be described in detail here.

[0084] Cleaning component 13: The cleaning component 13 can be a roller brush, a track brush, a rotary brush, etc. The cleaning component 13 has a working surface that contacts the surface to be cleaned during cleaning operations. In this embodiment, the cleaning component 13 is disposed opposite to the base plate 111, and the cleaning component 13 has a target portion opposite to the base plate 111. In this embodiment, the cleaning head 10 may further include a first driving component, and the cleaning component 13 is connected to the first driving component, which drives the cleaning operation. The first driving component can be a motor.

[0085] Cover plate 12: A receiving space is formed between the cover plate 12 and the base plate 111, and the cleaning component 13 is disposed within this receiving space. The cover plate 12 can be fixedly connected to the body 11, such as by integral injection molding or welding. The cover plate 12 can also be detachably disposed from the body 11, such as by a locking structure between the cover plate 12 and the body 11, through which the cover plate 12 is locked or separated from the body 11.

[0086] Movable connecting mechanism 14: The movable connecting mechanism 14 is connected to the base plate 111 or the cleaning component 13, and drives the cleaning component 13 or the base plate 111 to move in the direction intersecting with the surface to be cleaned, so that the cleaning component 13 and the base plate 111 can be separated or brought closer together, thereby forming a gap of variable width between the target part on the cleaning component 13 and the base plate 111.

[0087] Specifically, during the cleaning operation, the cleaning component 13 contacts the surface to be cleaned and is driven to rotate by the first driving component to perform the cleaning operation, pushing the dirt on the surface to be cleaned towards the base plate 111. During the cleaning process, the movable connecting mechanism 14 drives the base plate 111 or the cleaning component 13 to move, causing the base plate 111 and the cleaning component 13 to separate or move closer to each other, so that dirt of different sizes can pass smoothly through the gap and enter the interior of the cleaning head 10.

[0088] In one embodiment, the movable connection mechanism 14 can be an electrically driven mechanism. For example, when a large particle of dirt is detected by a detection device (such as a photoelectric sensor, image acquisition device, etc.), the movable connection mechanism 14 electrically drives the base plate 111 or the cleaning component 13, causing the base plate 111 and the cleaning component 13 to move away from each other. When the detection device detects that the dirt is not large, the movable connection mechanism 14 electrically drives the base plate 111 or the cleaning component 13, causing the base plate 111 and the cleaning component 13 to move closer to each other. In another embodiment, the movable connection mechanism 14 can also be a mechanically driven mechanism. For example, the movable connection mechanism 14 can be a cam mechanism, a gear mechanism, a linkage mechanism, etc., which can adaptively drive the base plate 111 or the cleaning component 13 according to the size of the dirt, causing the base plate 111 and the cleaning component 13 to move away from or closer to each other.

[0089] Optionally, in the default state, the cleaning component 13 and the base plate 111 are in interference contact. The default state can refer to the time when the movable connecting mechanism 14 does not generate actual force, such as when the cleaning equipment is on standby or when there is only a small amount of garbage on the ground. By making the cleaning component 13 and the base plate 111 in interference contact, the cleaning component 13 can self-clean the base plate 111 and ensure the cleanliness of the base plate 111.

[0090] Optionally, the front edge of the base plate 111 contacts the surface to be cleaned. The front edge may be provided with a soft scraper. When the cleaning equipment performs the cleaning operation in a forward manner, the front edge of the base plate 111 scrapes away the dirt left on the surface to be cleaned after cleaning by the cleaning component 13, thus avoiding dirt residue.

[0091] Optionally, the bottom of the cleaning head 10 is provided with at least one roller 15, and the front edge of the base plate 111 and the roller 15 together form a support surface to support the cleaning head 10 to move on the surface to be cleaned.

[0092] The cleaning head, cleaning component, and base plate are connected by a movable mechanism, allowing them to move relative to each other. This creates a gap of variable width between the cleaning component and the base plate, which can adapt to dirt of different sizes. When encountering larger debris particles, the gap automatically widens, allowing the dirt to pass through smoothly and effectively preventing dirt from accumulating at the suction port.

[0093] In one embodiment, the cleaning component 13 is connected to the movable connecting mechanism 14. The cleaning component 13 moves in a direction intersecting with the surface to be cleaned through the movable connecting mechanism 14. During the movement, it tends to move toward or away from the base plate 111, so that a gap of variable width can be formed between the cleaning component 13 and the base plate 111.

[0094] Optionally, when the cover plate 12 is mounted on the body 11, it remains relatively stationary with respect to the body 11. During movement, the cleaning component 13 tends to move towards the cover plate 12 and away from the base plate 111, or towards the base plate 111 and away from the cover plate 12. When the cleaning component 13 moves towards the cover plate 12 to a certain position, it can contact the inner wall of the cover plate 12, performing self-cleaning on the inner wall of the cover plate 12. By ensuring contact between the cleaning component 13 and the cover plate 12, automated self-cleaning of the cover plate 12 can be achieved, ensuring the cleanliness of the cover plate 12.

[0095] In one embodiment, such as Figures 2-3 and Figures 7-8 As shown, the cleaning head 10 is also equipped with a dirt-collecting chamber 113, a dirt-suction channel 114, and an air inlet (not shown in the figure). With the default travel direction of the cleaning equipment as the forward direction, the dirt-collecting chamber 113 is located on the rear side of the base plate 111. The dirt-collecting chamber 113 is connected to the atmosphere through the air inlet and to a suction device outside the cleaning head 10 through the dirt-suction channel 114, allowing the suction force of the suction device to be concentrated on the dirt-collecting chamber 113. Dirt enters the cleaning head 10 through the gap between the cleaning component 13 and the base plate 111 and then enters the dirt-collecting chamber 113, where it is sucked into the dirt-storage container outside the cleaning head 10 by the suction device. By setting the dirt-collecting chamber 113 behind the base plate 111, the suction force of the suction device can be concentrated at a set location, maximizing the utilization rate of the suction force, improving dirt suction efficiency, and enhancing dirt recovery.

[0096] In one embodiment, the cleaning component 13 is a roller brush, and the portion of the base plate 111 opposite to the cleaning component 13 is an inclined surface (i.e., it has a certain angle with the surface to be cleaned). The dirt collection chamber 113 is a groove arranged approximately along the axial direction of the cleaning component 13, and the lowest point of the groove is lower than the highest point of the inclined surface of the base plate 111, so that dirt can fall into the dirt collection chamber 113 better, thereby improving the dirt recycling effect.

[0097] In one embodiment, the main housing 112 of the body 11 includes opposing sidewalls, at least one of which has an air inlet communicating with the dirt collection chamber 113. Preferably, the air inlet is located in the extending direction of the dirt collection chamber 113, so that the outside air enters the dirt collection chamber 113 in a straight path, reducing airflow loss.

[0098] Optionally, air inlets are provided on both side walls of the main body 11, and the dirt collection chamber 113 and the air inlets are connected through an air intake channel.

[0099] Optionally, the dirt collection chamber 113 extends approximately along the axial direction of the cleaning component 13 to the side wall of the body 11, and the opening formed by its intersection with the side wall serves as an air inlet.

[0100] The following describes an embodiment of the movable connection mechanism 14. The movable connection mechanism 14 includes a support member, a rotating member, and a first connecting member. The support member is disposed on the body 11 and connects the rotating member and the body 11. The rotating member is capable of rotating around the body 11 with the support member as its center. The first connecting member connects the rotating member and the cleaning member 13, allowing the cleaning member 13 to rotate together with the rotating member around the body 11.

[0101] In one implementation, a support member is mounted on the housing side of the main body 11 opposite to the rear side of the cleaning member 13, and can be a structure such as a pivot or hinge. The rotating member uses one or more connecting rods, one end of which is connected to the support member, and the other end is connected to the cleaning member 13 through a first connecting member. When the cleaning member 13 performs a cleaning operation, the support member adaptively drives the rotating member to move up and down according to the size of the dirt, and the rotating member causes the cleaning member 13 to float up and down relative to the base plate 111 and the cover plate 12.

[0102] Optionally, the support member is disposed on the side of the housing opposite to the rear side of the cleaning member 13 on the main body 11, and the cleaning member 13 is provided with a docking member in the middle that mates with the first connecting member.

[0103] Optionally, the support is provided on the two side walls of the body 11, and the rotating part is connected to the two ends of the cleaning part 13 through the support 10.

[0104] Optionally, the first connector and the cleaning component 13 can be detachably connected, such as by using a lock, clip, screw or other structure. The detachable connection method makes it convenient for users to replace the cleaning component.

[0105] With the aforementioned movable connection mechanism 14, the cleaning component 13 floats up and down in the accommodating space between the cover plate 12 and the bottom plate 111. This not only allows large particles of dirt to enter the cleaning head smoothly, but also enables the inner walls of the cover plate 12 and the bottom plate 111 to self-clean, thus improving ease of use.

[0106] In another implementation, such as Figures 1-3 and Figures 6-8 As shown, the rotating component includes a cover plate 12, and the supporting component can be a rotating shaft 143 mounted on the body 11. Alternatively, the rotating shaft 143 can be any mechanical device that allows relative rotation between the two components, such as a hinge or latch. The cover plate 12 has first connecting members 141 at both ends in the axial direction of the cleaning component 13. The cleaning component 13 is suspended on the cover plate 12 via the first connecting members 141, and by default, it does not contact the inner wall of the cover plate 12. During the cleaning operation, when the cleaning component 13 encounters a large object, the cover plate 13 automatically flips upwards and moves upwards along with the cleaning component 13, widening the gap between the cleaning component 13 and the base plate 111 to allow the object to enter the cleaning head 10.

[0107] Optionally, the first connector 141 may also include a second drive (such as a motor), which drives the first connector 141 to move. The first connector 141 allows the cleaning component 13 and the cover plate 12 to move relatively away from or close to each other, thereby facilitating the cleaning of the inner wall of the cover plate 12.

[0108] Optionally, the cover plate 12 and the body 11 are detachably connected by a support member, and / or the cleaning component 13 and the cover plate 12 are detachably connected by a first connector 141, thereby facilitating user cleaning of the cover plate and the cleaning component, as well as facilitating replacement of the roller brush.

[0109] In this embodiment, the active connecting mechanism is set to a flip-top mode, which is simple in structure and requires no electricity or manual operation.

[0110] In one embodiment, the cleaning head 10 further includes an interference member that can abut against the cleaning member 13 to perform a self-cleaning operation on the working surface of the cleaning member 13 during the cleaning process. The working surface of the cleaning member 13 refers to the portion of the cleaning member 13 that contacts the surface to be cleaned.

[0111] In one embodiment, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, the interference element includes a rotating interference element 16. The type of the rotating interference element 16 can be similar to that of the cleaning element 13. The cleaning element 13 is a roller brush, and the rotating interference element 16 is also a roller brush, but the working surface of the rotating interference element 16 has a higher hardness than the working surface of the cleaning element 13, in order to clean the cleaning element 13. In one example, the cleaning element 13 is made of plush cloth, and the rotating interference element 16 is made of flocked fibers.

[0112] In another embodiment, such as Figures 7-8 As shown, the interference element is a comb tooth 17, which is always in contact with the cleaning element 13 and is used to scrape off the dirt on the cleaning element 13.

[0113] Of course, the interference elements can include a rotating interference element 16 and comb teeth 17. In one example, the rotating interference element 16 contacts the cleaning element 13, self-cleaning the cleaning element 13, while the comb teeth 17 contacts the rotating interference element 16, self-cleaning the rotating interference element 16 and removing any entangled material from it. In another example, both the rotating interference element 16 and the comb teeth 17 abut against the cleaning element 13. In the forward direction, the cleaning element 13 first reaches the comb teeth 17, allowing the comb teeth 17 to remove any entangled material from the cleaning element 13, before reaching the rotating interference element 16, allowing the rotating interference element 16 to scrape away other dirt from the surface of the cleaning element 13. By providing two types of interference elements, the cleaning element 13 can always remain relatively clean, improving the cleaning effect on the surface to be cleaned.

[0114] In one embodiment, the interference element can be disposed on the inner wall of the cover plate 12 and abut against the cleaning element 13 by means of a spring, motor or other device.

[0115] In another embodiment, the interference member is connected to the movable connecting mechanism 14 and moves synchronously with the cleaning member 13 under the action of the movable connecting mechanism 14, ensuring deep contact with the cleaning member 13. The movable connecting mechanism 14 includes a support member, a rotating member, a first connecting member, and a second connecting member. The support member is disposed on the body 11 and is used to connect the rotating member and the body 11. The rotating member can rotate around the body 11 with the support member as the center. The first connecting member connects the rotating member and the cleaning member 13, allowing the cleaning member 13 to rotate around the body 11 together with the rotating member. The second connecting member connects the interference member and the rotating member, allowing the interference member to rotate around the body 11 together with the rotating member.

[0116] In one embodiment, such as Figures 1-3 and Figures 6-8At least a portion of the first connecting member 141 and the second connecting member 142 are integral structures. The rotating member includes a cover plate 12, and the supporting member is a rotating shaft 143 mounted on the body 11. Of course, the rotating shaft 143 can also be any mechanical device that allows relative rotation between the two, such as a hinge or a hinge mechanism. The cover plate 12 has first connecting members 141 at both ends in the axial direction of the cleaning member 13. The cleaning member 13 is suspended on the cover plate 12 through the first connecting members 141 and does not contact the inner wall of the cover plate 12 by default. The cover plate 12 has second connecting members 142 at both ends in the axial direction of the cleaning member 13. The interference members 16 / 17 are suspended on the cover plate 12 through the first connecting member 123 and abut against the working surface of the cleaning member 13. During the cleaning operation of the cleaning member 13, when encountering a large dirt, the cover plate 13 automatically flips upward and moves the cleaning member 13 and the interference members 16 / 17 upward together.

[0117] In one embodiment, when the interference member includes a rotating interference member 16, the cleaning head 10 also includes a cutting member (not shown in the figure). The cutting member can be disposed inside or outside the rotating interference member 16, and is used to cut the wrapped material on the working surface of the rotating interference member 16.

The cleaning component 10 is used to perform cleaning operations on the surface to be cleaned. The base plate 111 is disposed opposite to the cleaning component 13. The cleaning component 13 is connected to the movable connecting mechanism 14, which allows it to move relative to the base plate 111, thereby forming a gap of variable width between the cleaning component 13 and the base plate 111, allowing dirt to enter the interior of the cleaning head 10 through the gap. The structure of the cleaning head 10 in this embodiment can be referred to in Embodiment 1 above, and will not be elaborated further here.

[0120] The aforementioned cleaning head and cleaning component move relative to the base plate under the action of the movable connecting mechanism, allowing a variable-width gap to be formed between the cleaning component and the base plate. This allows it to adapt to dirt of different sizes. When encountering larger debris particles, the gap automatically widens, allowing the dirt to pass through smoothly and effectively preventing dirt from accumulating at the suction port.

[0121] In one embodiment, the movable connecting mechanism 14 includes a rotating member and a first connecting member. The rotating member is connected to the body of the cleaning head and is rotatable around the body. The first connecting member connects the cleaning member 13 and the rotating member, allowing the cleaning member 13 and the rotating member to rotate together around the body. In this embodiment, the rotating member includes a cover plate 12. The structure of the movable connecting mechanism 14 in this embodiment can be referred to in Embodiment 1, and will not be described in detail here.

Simultaneously, the interference component maintains continuous contact with the cleaning head, effectively removing tangled debris and stains, keeping the cleaning component clean.

[0125] In one embodiment, the cleaning component 13 and the interference component move synchronously under the action of the movable connecting mechanism 14, so that the interference component and the cleaning component 13 remain in contact, while a gap of variable width can be formed between the cleaning component 13 and the base plate 111. The structure of the movable connecting mechanism 14 can be referred to in Embodiment 1, and will not be described in detail here.

Regarding the structure of the cleaning head 10 in this embodiment, please refer to the above embodiment 1, which will not be elaborated further here.

[0128] In one embodiment, the body 11 has opposing sidewalls, and at least one sidewall is provided with an air inlet communicating with the dirt collection chamber 113.

[0129] The aforementioned cleaning head, cleaning component, and base plate are connected by a movable mechanism, allowing for a variable-width gap between them. This adapts to different sizes of debris; when encountering larger particles, the gap automatically widens, allowing the debris to pass through smoothly and effectively preventing accumulation at the suction port. Debris enters the collection chamber through the gap, where it is collected and temporarily stored. This collection chamber forms a relatively enclosed, concentrated suction area, effectively utilizing suction power, saving energy, and improving the cleaning efficiency of the internal components.
