[0045] Reference Figures 1-5 This embodiment provides a cleaning device, including a housing 1, a cleaning component module, and a moving adjustment mechanism;
[0046] The moving adjustment mechanism includes a drive module 30, a sliding module 31, a first winding module, and a second winding module;
[0047] The drive module 30 and the sliding module 31 are respectively disposed on the housing 1. The two ends of the first winding module are respectively connected to the first position of the drive module 30 and the first end of the sliding module 31. The two ends of the second winding module are respectively connected to the second position of the drive module 30 and the second end of the sliding module 31. The drive module 30 is used to drive the sliding module 31 to move linearly on the housing 1 through the synchronous movement of the first winding module and the second winding module.
[0048] The cleaning module is disposed on the housing 1 and is arranged correspondingly to the sliding module 31. The cleaning module is connected to the sliding module 31. The sliding module 31 is used to drive the cleaning module to perform vertical lifting and / or horizontal extension and retraction relative to the housing 1.
[0049] In the above embodiments, the cleaning device includes a housing 1, a cleaning component module, and a movement adjustment mechanism. The housing 1 is the external support structure of the entire cleaning device, used to support and fix other functional components. The cleaning component module refers to the cleaning assembly installed on the housing 1, whose main function is to achieve wet cleaning by contacting the ground. The movement adjustment mechanism is the core mechanical system used to control the movement of the cleaning component module, and it includes a drive module 30, a sliding module 31, a first winding module, and a second winding module.
[0050] The drive module 30 is mounted on the housing 1 and serves as a power source to output rotational motion. It drives the first and second winding modules to move synchronously through a specific transmission method. The sliding module 31 is also mounted on the housing 1. The first and second winding modules are connected to the drive module 30 and can slide linearly left and right inside the housing 1. The ends of the first and second winding modules closest to the drive module 30 are respectively connected to the drive module 30; that is, one end of the first winding module is connected to the first position of the drive module 30, and the other end is connected to the first end of the sliding module 31. Similarly, one end of the second winding module is connected to the second position of the drive module 30, and the other end is connected to the second end of the sliding module 31. The first and second winding modules are respectively connected to the drive module 30. Within two positions of module 30, at least one of the first winding module or the second winding module has a steel wire wound with sufficient travel in one of the positions. When the drive module 30 rotates forward, the first winding module winds the wire into the drive module 30, and the second winding module simultaneously winds the wire out of the drive module 30. When the drive module 30 rotates in the reverse direction, the first winding module winds the wire into the drive module 30, and the second winding module simultaneously winds the wire out of the drive module 30. The other end of the first winding module or the second winding module is fixed to both ends of the sliding module 31, so that when the drive module 30 rotates forward, the first winding module and the second winding module can take in the wire and release the wire at the same time. When the drive module 30 rotates in the reverse direction, the two are opposite, thereby pulling the sliding module 31 to move in a set direction.
[0051] The cleaning module is mounted on the housing 1 and is arranged correspondingly to the sliding module 31. Preferably, the cleaning module is located inside the lower part of the housing 1, and the sliding module 31 is located above the housing 1. The two are connected by a fixed connector or a linkage structure. Therefore, the movement of the sliding module 31 can be directly transmitted to the cleaning module, enabling it to move vertically up and down and / or horizontally telescopically relative to the housing 1. The vertical up and down movement refers to the cleaning module being able to move up and down in the vertical direction, thereby automatically raising the mop when encountering carpets or other surfaces unsuitable for wet mopping. The horizontal telescopic movement refers to the cleaning module being able to extend and retract in the left and right direction, i.e., retracting inward or expanding outward, to better fit corners or furniture edges, improving cleaning coverage. By enabling the cleaning module to move vertically up and down or horizontally telescopically as needed, the direct contact of the wet mop with the carpet is effectively avoided, thus preventing the carpet from getting wet or contaminated by dirt on the mop. At the same time, it ensures that the mop can cover more areas when cleaning edges, reducing blind spots and improving cleaning efficiency and quality.
[0052] Reference Figures 1-5 In one embodiment, the drive module 30 includes a drive motor 301 and a reel 302 connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 301;
[0053] The drive motor 301 is fixedly connected to the housing 1. The winding reel 302 is provided with a first winding groove 303 and a second winding groove 304 coaxially distributed with the first winding groove 303. The first winding module is wound in the first winding groove 303 in a counterclockwise direction, and the second winding module is wound in the second winding groove 304 in a clockwise direction.
[0054] In the above embodiment, the drive module 30 includes a drive motor 301 and a winding reel 302. The drive motor 301 is fixedly mounted on the housing 1 and is directly connected to the winding reel 302 through its output shaft, thereby providing the necessary rotational force for the entire moving adjustment mechanism. The winding reel 302 is provided with two independent but coaxially distributed grooves, namely the first winding groove 303 and the second winding groove 304. These two winding grooves are arranged sequentially from top to bottom, and their design ensures that they have the same recess depth and diameter. The first winding groove 303 and the second winding groove 304 are arranged in the same center and are coaxially symmetrical, so that the first winding module and the second winding module can be wound on it in counterclockwise and clockwise directions, respectively.
[0055] The first end of the first winding module is fixed at a preset position in the first winding groove 303, and the first end of the second winding module is also fixed at a specific position in the second winding groove 304. This ensures that when the winding wheel 302 rotates in the opposite direction, the second winding module can unfold outward from the winding wheel 302. That is, the first position of the drive module 30 is the first winding groove 303, and the second position of the drive module 30 is the second winding groove 304. The first winding groove 303 and the second winding groove 304 on the winding wheel 302 can control the winding and unwinding of the first and second winding modules according to the forward and reverse rotation of the motor. This mechanism allows the cleaning module to perform corresponding vertical lifting or horizontal extension operations according to different ground conditions (such as lifting when encountering carpet or expanding when needing to fit more closely to the edge of the wall). By utilizing the structure of the winding wheel 302 with double winding grooves, efficient and precise control of the cleaning module is achieved.
[0056] Reference Figures 1-5 In one embodiment, the cleaning device further includes a first rope support 4 and a second rope support 5 disposed on the housing 1;
[0057] The first rope support 4 and the second rope support 5 are disposed opposite to each other on both sides of the drive motor 301. The first winding module is connected to the first rope support 4 from the first winding groove 303 and connected to the first end of the sliding module 31. The second winding module is connected to the second rope support 5 from the second winding groove 304 and connected to the second end of the sliding module 31.
[0058] In the above embodiment, the cleaning device further includes a first rope bracket 4 and a second rope bracket 5 disposed on the housing 1. The cleaning device also includes a first pillar 6 and a second pillar 7 disposed on the housing 1. The first rope bracket 4 and the second rope bracket 5 are two components fixedly installed on the housing 1. They are respectively disposed opposite to each other on both sides of the drive motor 301. The first pillar 6 and the second pillar 7 are disposed opposite to each other at both ends of the linear motion direction of the sliding module 31 to change the direction of the first winding module and the second winding module.
[0059] The first winding module starts from the first winding groove 303 of the winding reel 302, passes through the first rope support 4, and then connects to the first end of the sliding module 31 via the first support post 6. The second winding module starts from the second winding groove 304 of the winding reel 302, passes through the second rope support 5, and then connects to the second end of the sliding module 31 via the second support post 7. The first rope support 4 is located near the side of the winding reel 302, and the first support post 6 is located near the side of the sliding module 31, ensuring that the first winding module can smoothly transition from the first winding groove 303 to the first support post 6 and finally connect to the first end of the sliding module 31. Similarly, the second rope support 5 is also located near the side of the winding reel 302, and the second support post 7 is located near the side of the sliding module 31. The second winding module can smoothly extend from the second winding groove 304 to the second support post 7 and connect to the second end of the sliding module 31. The winding wheel 302, the first winding module, the second winding module and the sliding module 31 form a triangular structure. When the drive motor 301 drives the winding wheel 302 to rotate, the first winding module will be pulled into the winding wheel 302, while the second winding module unfolds outward. During this process, the first support post 6 and the second support post 7 help change the direction of the wire, so that the first winding module and the second winding module can effectively pull the sliding module 31 to move in a straight line along a predetermined path. This effectively prevents the first winding module and the second winding module from deviating and tangling during operation, and ensures uniform force distribution and efficient transmission.
[0060] Reference Figures 1-5 In one embodiment, the first winding module includes an inner winding body 320 and an inner winding sleeve assembly. The inner winding body 320 is connected between the first winding groove 303 and the first end of the sliding module 31. The inner winding sleeve assembly is sleeved on the inner winding body 320 and is located between the first rope support 4 and the first end of the sliding module 31.
[0061] The inner coiled cable sleeve assembly includes an inner coiled cable sleeve body 3210, and a first fixed end 3211 and a second fixed end 3213 connected to both ends of the inner coiled cable sleeve body 3210. The first fixed end 3211 is snapped onto the first rope bracket 4, and the second fixed end 3213 is snapped onto the first end of the sliding module 31.
[0062] In the above embodiment, the first winding module consists of an inner winding body 320 and an inner winding sleeve assembly. The inner winding body 320 is a section of high-strength steel wire, responsible for the actual tensile force transmission. It starts from the first winding groove 303 of the winding wheel 302 of the drive motor 301, passes through a series of guiding devices, and connects to the first end of the sliding module 31. The inner winding sleeve assembly is a protective sleeve wrapped around the inner winding body 320. It is usually made of materials such as stainless steel, polyethylene, or polytetrafluoroethylene to ensure that the inner winding body 320 is well protected and reduces friction during movement. It is set between the first rope support 4 and the first end of the sliding module 31. This means that the inner winding sleeve assembly does not participate in the winding action on the winding wheel 302, but exists as a static protective layer. When the drive motor 301 drives the winding wheel 302 to rotate, the inner winding body 320 will perform telescopic movement inside the inner winding sleeve assembly.
[0063] The inner winding sleeve assembly includes an inner winding sleeve body 3210 and a first fixed end 3211 and a second fixed end 3213 fixed at both ends thereon. These two fixed ends are used to securely install the inner winding sleeve assembly in the system: the first fixed end 3211 is connected to the first rope bracket 4 located on one side of the winding reel 302 by a snap-fit, while the second fixed end 3213 is snap-fitted to the first end of the sliding module 31, so that as the sliding module 31 moves, the inner winding sleeve body 320 can slide freely inside the inner winding sleeve assembly without obstruction, which greatly improves the reliability and service life of the system.
[0064] Reference Figures 1-5 In one embodiment, the second winding module includes an outer winding body 330 and an outer winding sleeve assembly. The outer winding body 330 is connected between the second winding groove 304 and the second end of the sliding module 31. The outer winding sleeve assembly is sleeved on the outer winding body 330 and is located between the second rope support 5 and the second end of the sliding module 31.
[0065] The outer coiled cable sleeve assembly includes an outer coiled cable sleeve body 3310, and a third fixed end 3311 and a fourth fixed end 3312 connected to both ends of the outer coiled cable sleeve body 3310. The third fixed end 3311 is snapped onto the second rope bracket 5, and the fourth fixed end 3312 is snapped onto the second end of the sliding module 31.
[0066] In the above embodiment, the second winding module consists of an outer winding body 330 and an outer winding sleeve assembly. The outer winding body 330 is a section of high-strength steel wire that starts from the second winding groove 304 of the winding wheel 302 of the drive motor 301, passes through a series of guide devices, and connects to the second end of the sliding module 31, enabling the sliding module 31 to move precisely as needed. The outer winding sleeve assembly is a protective sleeve wrapped around the outer winding body 330, typically made of materials such as stainless steel, polyethylene, or polytetrafluoroethylene, to provide additional protection and reduce friction. The outer winding sleeve assembly is positioned between the second rope support 5 and the second end of the sliding module 31, meaning that the outer winding sleeve assembly does not participate in the winding action on the winding wheel 302, but exists as a static protective layer. When the drive motor 301 drives the winding wheel 302 to rotate, the outer winding body 330 will extend and retract inside the outer winding sleeve assembly.
[0067] The outer winding sleeve assembly includes an outer winding sleeve body 3310 and a third fixed end 3311 and a fourth fixed end 3312 fixed at both ends thereon. These two fixed ends are used to securely install the outer winding sleeve assembly at a specific position in the system: the third fixed end 3311 is connected to the second rope bracket 5 located on one side of the winding reel 302 by a snap-fit, while the fourth fixed end 3312 is snap-fitted to the second end of the sliding module 31. This allows the outer winding sleeve body 330 to slide freely inside the outer winding sleeve assembly without obstruction as the sliding module 31 moves, ensuring that the sliding module 31 can operate smoothly in complex operating environments and providing higher response speed and operating accuracy.
[0068] Reference Figures 1-5 In one embodiment, the sliding module 31 includes a slide groove 310 and a plurality of slide bars 311. The slide groove 310 is disposed on the housing 1, and the slide bars 311 are slidably connected in the slide groove 310. A limiting hole 312 is provided at the bottom of the slide groove 310. The limiting hole 312 extends a specified distance along the length direction of the slide groove 310, and the cleaning component module is connected to the slide bars 311 through the limiting hole 312.
[0069] In the above embodiment, the sliding module 31 is composed of a sliding groove 310 and a plurality of sliding bars 311. The sliding groove 310 is a rectangular groove provided on the housing 1, with a certain depth, for accommodating the sliding bars 311 and guiding them to perform linear movement. The bottom of the sliding groove 310 is provided with limiting holes 312, which extend a specified distance along the length direction of the sliding groove 310. Each sliding bar 311 is a slender component. The plurality of sliding bars 311 are arranged symmetrically to each other, and adjacent sliding bars 311 are connected to each other by connecting plates to form an integral structure. The height of the end plates of the sliding groove 310 is greater than the height of the side plates, providing additional support points for the inner winding sleeve assembly and the outer winding sleeve assembly.
[0070] The inner winding sleeve body 3210 is snapped onto the end plate at the first end of the slide groove 310 via its second fixed end 3213. The end plate has a special slot for fixing the second fixed end 3213. At the same time, at the end of the slide bar 311 near the first end of the slide groove 310, the inner winding sleeve body 320 is directly snapped onto the end of the slide bar 311, so that the inner winding sleeve assembly is positioned between the first rope support 4 and the first end of the slide bar 311. Similarly, the outer winding sleeve body 3310 is snapped onto the end plate at the second end of the slide groove 310 via its fourth fixed end 3312. It also has a special slot for fixing the fourth fixed end 3312. On the outside, the outer winding sleeve body 330 is snapped onto the end of the slide bar 311 near the second end of the slide groove 310, so that the outer winding sleeve assembly is positioned between the second rope support 5 and the second end of the slide bar 311. This design not only ensures the smooth operation of the slide bar 311 within the slide groove 310, but also ensures that the inner and outer winding bodies 330 can freely extend and retract within their respective components, thereby achieving precise control of the sliding module 31.
[0071] Reference Figures 1-5 In one embodiment, the moving adjustment mechanism further includes a plurality of position switches, and a switch sensing part is provided on the slide bar 311. The plurality of position switches are arranged at intervals on the housing 1, and the position switches are arranged corresponding to the switch sensing parts.
[0072] In the above embodiment, the moving adjustment mechanism includes multiple position switches. These position switches are used to detect the specific position of the slide bar 311 and trigger the corresponding action. The slide bar 311 is provided with a switch sensing part, which works in conjunction with the position switches. The switch sensing part is used to sense and trigger the position of the slide bar 311 at different position switches, ensuring that the slide bar 311 can be accurately positioned at the predetermined position. The position switches include three first position switches 340, second position switches 341 and third position switches 342 that are sequentially close to the slide groove 310. They are arranged at intervals on the housing 1, and the distance between the three is different. This design enables the slide bar 311 to accurately trigger the corresponding position switch at different positions, thereby realizing precise control of the lifting or outward movement of the cleaning module.
[0073] The first stop switch 340, second stop switch 341, and third stop switch 342 correspond to different cleaning needs. When the slider 311 moves the switch sensing part to the first predetermined point of the slide groove 310, the switch sensing part triggers the first stop switch 340. At this time, the motor receives the signal and stops rotating, so that the cleaning module is in a raised state to prevent the carpet from getting wet or contaminated. If floor cleaning is required, the motor rotates forward to drive the steel cable to move the slider 311. When the switch sensing part on the slider 311 reaches the position of the second stop switch 341, the second stop switch 341 is triggered, the motor stops rotating, and the cleaning module moves down to the position of contacting the ground to start cleaning. When it is necessary to expand the mop to cover the edge of the wall or furniture, the motor continues to rotate forward until the switch sensing part on the slider 311 triggers the third stop switch 342. At this time, the cleaning module reaches the maximum expansion position to ensure edge cleaning effect. The stop switches, by correspondingly arranging with the switch sensing parts on the slider 311, realize a precise position feedback mechanism, improving the system's response speed and stability.
[0074] Reference Figures 1-5 In one embodiment, the cleaning component module includes a cleaning component body 20 and a connecting slider 21. The cleaning component body 20 is disposed on the side of the housing 1 away from the slide groove 310. The connecting slider 21 is fixedly connected to the cleaning component body 20, and one end of the connecting slider 21 away from the cleaning component body 20 passes through the limiting hole 312 and is connected to the slide bar 311.
[0075] In the above embodiment, the cleaning component module consists of a cleaning component body 20 and a connecting slider 21. The cleaning component body 20 is the part actually used for cleaning the floor, and is usually made of a highly absorbent and durable material, preferably a mop. It is located on the side of the housing 1 away from the slide 310, within a specially designed receiving space for the cleaning component body 20. That is, the cleaning component body 20 is located below the housing 1, and the slide 310 is located above the housing 1. This receiving space ensures that there is a certain gap between the cleaning component body 20 and the housing 1, so that the cleaning component body 20 can move independently up and down or outward relative to the housing 1 without interference. One end of the connecting slider 21 is fixedly connected to the cleaning component body 20, and the other end passes through the bottom of the slide 310. The limiting hole 312 is connected to the slide bar 311, so that the linear motion of the slide bar 311 in the slide groove 310 can be directly transmitted to the cleaning component body 20, thereby driving the cleaning component body 20 to perform corresponding vertical lifting or horizontal extension and retraction movements. When the slide bar 311 moves along the slide groove 310, the connecting slider 21 moves accordingly and transmits force to the cleaning component body 20 through its fixed connection with the cleaning component body 20, so that it completes the required movement. The slide bar 311 directly drives the cleaning component body 20 through the connecting slider 21, while the slide bar 311 itself is controlled by the inner winding wire and outer winding wire assembly to perform precise linear motion in the slide groove 310. This layout not only ensures the working efficiency of the system, but also improves the accuracy and stability of operation.
[0076] Reference Figures 1-3 In one embodiment, the slider 311 includes a limiting part 3110, a flat part 3111, and an inclined part 3112. The limiting part 3110 and the inclined part 3112 are respectively disposed at both ends of the flat part 3111, and the limiting part 3110 and the flat part 3111 are disposed perpendicular to each other. The limiting part 3110, the flat part 3111, and the inclined part 3112 together form a position adjustment hole 3113. The connecting slider 21 is located in the position adjustment hole 3113 and is slidably connected to the flat part 3111 or the inclined part 3112.
[0077] In the above embodiment, the slide bar 311 consists of three main parts: a limiting part 3110, a flat part 3111, and an inclined part 3112. The limiting part 3110 is located at one end of the slide bar 311 and is arranged perpendicular to the flat part 3111. It is used to limit the position of the slide bar 311 in the slide groove 310 and provide additional support for the outer winding body 330. The flat part 3111 provides a smooth sliding surface for the connecting slider 21. The inclined part 3112 is located at the other end of the slide bar 311 and has a certain tilt angle. When the cleaning part body 20 needs to move up and down, the slide bar 311 adopts a hollow structure design so that the three parts together form a position adjustment hole 3113, in which the connecting slider 21 is located in the hole and is slidably connected to the flat part 3111 or the inclined part 3112.
[0078] The part of the top of the connecting slider 21 that contacts the flat part 3111 or the inclined part 3112 is semi-circular, thereby ensuring that the connecting slider 21 can slide smoothly on the flat part 3111 or the inclined part 3112. There is a slot at each end of the slider 311. One slot is located on the limiting part 3110 of the front slider 311, and the other slot is located on the side of the inclined part 3112 of the rear slider 311 opposite to the limiting part 3110. At the same time, the slots at both ends of the slider 310 in the direction of movement are located in the same radial direction as the slots at both ends of the slider 311 in the direction of movement, that is, on the same straight line, to ensure that the slider 311 maintains linear movement throughout the sliding process when pulled by the first winding module and the second winding module.
[0079] When the mop is not performing mopping work or is cleaning on the carpet, the cleaning module is in position one: the slider 311 contacts the first stop switch 340, the motor stops rotating after receiving the stop switch signal, and the cleaning module body 20 is retracted into the machine body.
[0080] When the robot vacuum cleaner starts mopping, the motor rotates forward, driving the steel cable to move the slider 311 in a straight line. The slider 311 has a flat part 3111 and an inclined part 3112. The slider and the cleaning component body 20 are fixedly connected. When the slider 311 moves in a straight line to the outside of the machine body, the slider slides from the high point of the slope to the low point due to gravity, thereby driving the cleaning component body 20 to move downward. When the slider 311 moves a certain distance, it will trigger the second position switch 341. After receiving the signal from the second position switch 341, the motor stops rotating, and the cleaning component body 20 moves down to position two and contacts the ground to clean.
[0081] When the robot vacuum encounters and detects a carpet, the motor reverses and drives the steel cable to move the slider 311 in a straight line towards the inside of the body. The connecting slider 21, which is connected to the cleaning component body 20, is limited by the limiting hole 312 of the housing 1 and cannot move continuously with the slider 311. The slider will then move upward along the inclined surface 3112 of the slider 311, and the cleaning component body 20 connected to the slider 21 will move upward to the cleaning component module position one. The first position switch 340 on the slider 311 is triggered, and the motor stops rotating after receiving the signal from the first position switch 340.
[0082] When the robot is cleaning along the wall or the edge of furniture during the mopping process, the motor starts to rotate forward, driving the steel wire rope to move the slider 311 in a straight line to the outside of the robot body. The slider moves together with the cleaning part body 20 and the slider 311. When the cleaning part body 20 moves from position two to position three, the slider 311 is at the third position switch 342. After the motor receives the signal from the third position switch 342, it stops rotating.
[0083] When cleaning is not along a wall or edge, the motor reverses to drive the wire rope, causing the slider 311 to move linearly inwards towards the machine body. The slider, along with the cleaning module and the slider 311, moves together. When the cleaning module moves from position three to position two, the slider 311 triggers the second stop switch 341. Upon receiving the signal from the second stop switch 341, the motor stops rotating. During operation, the cleaning module can move from position one to position two, from position two to position three, or from position two to position one; it can also move from position three to position two, then from position two to position three, or from position two to position one. Figure 1 The first position diagram of the cleaning module shows the cleaning module located inside the machine body, with the cleaning module in a raised state; Figure 4 The second position diagram of the cleaning module shows the cleaning module in the working state, which is the cleaning module in the descending state; Figure 5 The third position diagram of the cleaning module shows the cleaning module extending outwards from the outer side of the housing in a horizontal direction. With the cleaning module in an expanded state, the slider 311 can achieve multiple position adjustments of the cleaning module through the combination of the limiting part 3110, the flat part 3111 and the inclined part 3112, adapting to different types of cleaning tasks, improving cleaning efficiency and quality, enhancing the user experience, and making the cleaning process more intelligent and efficient.
[0084] Reference Figures 1-3 In one embodiment, the cleaning component body 20 is further provided with a plurality of guide posts 22, and the housing 1 is further provided with a plurality of guide holes 23 corresponding to the guide posts 22. The guide posts 22 are disposed through the guide holes 23, and the guide holes 23 extend a specified distance along the length direction of the housing 1.
[0085] In the above embodiment, a plurality of guide posts 22 are provided on the cleaning component body 20. These guide posts 22 are typically cylindrical metal rods that are fixed to the top of the cleaning component body 20. At the same time, a plurality of guide holes 23 corresponding to the guide posts 22 are provided on the housing 1. These guide holes 23 penetrate the housing 1 and their width is slightly larger than the diameter of the guide posts 22, so that the guide posts 22 can be smoothly inserted and slid. Each guide hole 23 extends a specified distance along the length of the housing 1, ensuring that the cleaning component body 20 can move freely within a predetermined range without deviating from the track. This allows the cleaning component body 20 to move up and down or left and right along the path of the guide hole 23 when driven by the slider 311, without deviation or jamming, which helps to reduce unnecessary shaking and improve operational accuracy.
[0086] This embodiment also discloses a sweeping robot, including the cleaning device described in any of the above embodiments. The sweeping robot integrating the cleaning device has a mop lifting and outward expansion function, which allows the mop to automatically adjust its height according to different floor types. For example, when encountering a carpet, the mop can be lifted to avoid wetting or soiling the carpet, thus improving cleaning flexibility. Secondly, the mop can be extended outward to ensure thorough cleaning along the edges of walls or furniture, reducing dead corners.
