Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cleaning equipment, and in particular to a connector for cleaning equipment with a replaceable cleaning brush. Background Technology

[0002] With increasing demands for improved cleaning efficiency in homes and industries, various electric or manual cleaning equipment (such as rotary brushes and spray brushes) are widely used. In practical applications, cleaning brushes, as the working parts that directly contact stains, are prone to wear due to friction, or are difficult to thoroughly clean due to contaminants such as oil and dust, thus requiring frequent replacement. Furthermore, when dealing with different types of stains (such as stubborn oil, dust, and water stains) or different surface materials (such as tiles, glass, metal, and wood), cleaning brushes with varying bristle hardness, density, and shape are necessary to avoid damaging the surface and ensure effective cleaning.

[0003] In existing technologies, some cleaning devices use a threaded connection structure to connect the brush head to the main unit. This makes replacement cumbersome, requiring users to use both hands to rotate the brush head multiple times to complete the disassembly and installation. This is especially problematic when hands are covered in oil or water during cleaning, as the hands are prone to slipping, increasing the difficulty of replacement and potentially causing secondary contamination of the device's casing. Furthermore, the devices have low compatibility, as different brands and models of cleaning devices use different thread specifications, making it difficult to use universal cleaning brushes. Users need to purchase specific brush heads for replacement, increasing operating costs. Utility Model Content

[0031] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0032] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 This utility model provides an embodiment of a connector for a cleaning device with a replaceable cleaning brush, comprising a cleaning brush 11 and a connector 31. There are four types of cleaning brushes 11, each with different sizes and shapes. Multiple limiting blocks 12 are fixedly connected to the circumferential inner wall of the cleaning brush 11. Multiple limiting grooves 33, corresponding one-to-one with the positions of the limiting blocks 12, are formed on the circumferential outer wall of the connector 31 to limit the relative circumferential deflection of the cleaning brush 11 and the connector 31. Multiple axially extending guide grooves 13 are formed on the circumferential inner wall of the cleaning brush 11. Multiple guide blocks 32, corresponding one-to-one with the positions of the guide grooves 13, are fixedly connected to the circumferential outer wall of the connector 31. The guide blocks 32 slide along the guide grooves 13 to allow the cleaning brush 11 to slide. 1. The insertion guide of the connector 31 includes multiple elastic buckles 14 fixedly connected to the circumferential inner wall of the cleaning brush 11, and multiple slots 34 fixedly connected to the circumferential outer wall of the connector 31, each corresponding to one of the positions of the elastic buckles 14. The elastic buckles 14 are engaged in the slots 34 to achieve axial fixation between the cleaning brush 11 and the connector 31. The elastic buckles 14 are L-shaped and integrally formed with the cleaning brush 11. One end of the elastic buckle 14 is integrally formed with the circumferential inner wall of the mounting end of the cleaning brush 11, and the other end of the elastic buckle 14 is a free end extending towards the connector 31. The free end of the elastic buckle 14 is engaged in the slots 34, and the cleaning brush 11 and the connector 31 are detachably engaged through elastic deformation.

[0033] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 6The inner wall of the cleaning brush 11 has a circular hole 15 coaxial with the axis of the cleaning brush 11. The connector 31 is adapted to be inserted into the circular hole 15 to achieve coaxial positioning of the cleaning brush 11 and the connector 31. The outer wall of the connector 31 has an annular sealing groove 36. An O-ring 35 is embedded in the sealing groove 36. The outer periphery of the O-ring 35 contacts the inner wall of the cleaning brush 11. When the cleaning brush 11 and the connector 31 are inserted into place, the outer periphery of the O-ring 35 is in close contact with the inner wall of the mounting end of the cleaning brush 11 to prevent the cleaning medium from leaking from the gap between the cleaning brush 11 and the connector 31.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 3 It also includes an upper shell 21 and a lower shell 22. The upper shell 21 and the lower shell 22 are snapped together by a mounting ring 23 to achieve a detachable connection. An inclined groove 241 is provided on the top left side of the upper shell 21 and the bottom left side of the lower shell 22. A wedge 24 with a position corresponding to and adapted to the inclined groove 241 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting ring 23. When the wedge 24 is snapped into the inclined groove 241, the upper shell 21 and the lower shell 22 form a complete cylinder, which is convenient for the user to grip.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 3 An integrally formed mounting post 27 is fixedly connected to the right side of the inner wall of the lower shell 22. The top of the mounting post 27 is provided with a mounting hole 28. The bottom of the connector 31 is fixedly connected with a connecting post 37. The connecting post 37 is adapted to be inserted into the mounting hole 28 with an interference fit. The bottom of the connector 31 is fixedly connected with a cleaning agent connector 38 for connecting to an external cleaning medium supply source.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 3 The inner walls of the upper shell 21 and the lower shell 22 are fixedly connected with multiple reinforcing ribs 25 evenly distributed along the axial direction. The surface of the reinforcing ribs 25 is provided with a groove 26 with a semi-circular cross section. The groove 26 is used to accommodate and position the cleaning agent guide rod 41. The cleaning agent guide rod 41 is provided in the cylinder formed by the upper shell 21 and the lower shell 22. One end of the cleaning agent guide rod 41 is sealed and connected to the cleaning agent connector 38. The other end of the cleaning agent guide rod 41 is a filling end for filling with cleaning agent. The filling end is provided with an interface for connecting an external cleaning medium supply device. When using the cleaning equipment, the cleaning liquid is squeezed out from the connector 31 located in the circular hole 15, so that the cleaning liquid can cover the entire cleaning surface of the cleaning brush 11 during cleaning. The cleaning agent guide rod 41 is set in the groove 26, and the groove 26 realizes axial positioning and radial limiting.

[0037] Working principle: When in use, the user first aligns the guide block 32 on the outer wall of the connector 31 with the guide groove 13 on the inner wall of the cleaning brush 11 and pushes it in axially. The guide block 32 slides in the guide groove 13 to achieve automatic centering and guiding positioning between the cleaning brush 11 and the connector 31, avoiding misalignment during installation. As the cleaning brush 11 is continuously inserted, the limiting block 12 on its inner wall gradually enters the corresponding limiting groove 33 on the outer wall of the connector 31, forming a circumferential limiting structure to prevent the cleaning brush 11 from rotating relative to the other side during subsequent operation, ensuring stable and reliable power transmission.

[0038] When the cleaning brush 11 is nearly fully inserted, the multiple L-shaped elastic buckles 14 on its inner wall undergo elastic deformation when they contact the outer wall of the connector 31. The free ends of the elastic buckles 14 automatically snap into the corresponding slots 34 under the action of elastic force, achieving axial locking and forming a detachable quick-install and quick-release connection. The operation is simple and replacement can be completed without tools.

[0039] Meanwhile, after the cleaning brush 11 is fully installed, the O-ring 35 embedded in the sealing groove 36 on the outer wall of the connector 31 is squeezed by the inner wall of the cleaning brush 11, generating a radial sealing force, so that the outer circumferential surface of the O-ring 35 is tightly fitted with the inner wall of the mounting end of the cleaning brush 11, forming a reliable sealing interface, effectively preventing the cleaning medium from leaking from the gap between the cleaning brush 11 and the connector 31, ensuring the safe operation of the equipment and the cleanliness of the use environment.

[0040] The main body of the equipment consists of an upper shell 21 and a lower shell 22, which are detachably connected by a mounting ring 23. During installation, the upper shell 21 and the lower shell 22 are put together and fitted into the mounting ring 23. Then, the mounting ring 23 is pushed in so that the wedge 24 on the inner wall slides along the inclined groove 241 on the left side of the upper shell 21 and the lower shell 22 and is engaged, so that the upper shell 21 and the lower shell 22 are tightly closed to form a complete cylindrical grip.

[0041] The device is equipped with a cleaning agent guide rod 41. One end of the rod is sealed to the cleaning agent connector 38 at the bottom of the connector 31, and the other end is a filling end with an interface for connecting to an external cleaning agent supply device such as a storage bottle or pipeline system. The external cleaning agent enters the cleaning agent guide rod 41 through the cleaning agent connector 38 and is delivered to the cleaning area to achieve a highly efficient cleaning mode of brushing and spraying simultaneously. The cleaning agent guide rod 41 is embedded in the semi-circular groove 26 opened by the reinforcing ribs 25 on the inner wall of the upper shell 21 and the lower shell 22. The groove 26 achieves axial positioning and radial limiting to avoid vibration displacement, while improving the neatness of wiring and structural stability.

[0042] When it is necessary to replace the cleaning brush 11, the user only needs to apply appropriate force to pull out the cleaning brush 11 along the axis. The operation is simple and quick, and it is convenient for maintenance and use in multiple scenarios.

[0043] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
