[0018] This means that, during the use of the sweeper 10, the operator in the driver's cab 100 decides on the cleaning status of the sweeper 10 depending on the situation or at their own discretion. The operator then controls the cleaning assembly 400, located on the lower part of the vehicle body 200, to start the cleaning process. The cleaning assembly 400 is designed to sweep and collect waste and store it in the collection compartment 210 inside the vehicle body 200. If there is a larger amount of waste in the vehicle body 200, or after street cleaning is complete, the waste can be removed from the vehicle to allow the sweeper 10 to be reused.

[0019] Furthermore, when larger waste is detected, the sorting unit 300 can be used to remove such larger waste, while the remaining small waste is suitable for cleaning by the cleaning unit 400, thus extending the service life and improving cleaning efficiency.

[0020] According to an embodiment of the present utility model, a receiving space 210 is provided in the vehicle body 200, wherein the receiving space 210 is suitable for receiving waste, so that when the user detects waste to be cleaned, the sorting assembly 300 or the cleaning assembly 400 is controlled according to the size of the waste in order to accelerate the collection of the waste in the receiving space 210, simplify the cleaning process and increase the cleaning efficiency.

[0021] In some embodiments, the cleaning assembly 400 comprises a cleaning brush set 410, wherein the number of cleaning brush sets 410 is at least two and the two cleaning brush sets 410 are arranged centrally symmetrically. It is understandable that arranging the cleaning assembly 400 as two relatively similar cleaning brush sets 410 simplifies the assembly process, increases assembly efficiency, and allows the two cleaning brush sets 410 to better clean the floor area traversed by the sweeper, thereby improving the performance characteristics of the cleaning vehicle 10.

[0022] In some embodiments, each cleaning brush set 410 comprises at least one first cleaning brush 411, one second cleaning brush 412, and one third cleaning brush 413, wherein the first cleaning brush 411, the second cleaning brush 412, and the third cleaning brush 413 are each made of plastic material, and wherein the first cleaning brush 411, the second cleaning brush 412, and the third cleaning brush 413 are arranged extending obliquely outwards. That is, to ensure that the cleaning assembly 400 has a larger cleaning area, each cleaning brush set 410 comprises at least three cleaning brushes, which, for clarity, are designated from the center outwards as the first cleaning brush 411, the second cleaning brush 412, and the third cleaning brush 413. The first cleaning brush 411, the second cleaning brush 412, and the third cleaning brush 413 are all made of plastic components.This ensures their structural similarity, thereby reducing design and production costs, simplifying the assembly process, and facilitating maintenance. By arranging the first cleaning brush 411, the second cleaning brush 412, and the third cleaning brush 413 at an angle and extending outwards, the cleaning coverage area of ​​the cleaning assembly 400 is increased, thus improving the cleaning performance of the sweeper 10.

[0023] In some embodiments, the projection positions of the first cleaning brush 411, the second cleaning brush 412, and the third cleaning brush 413 are spaced apart along the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body 200; similarly, the projection positions of the first cleaning brush 411, the second cleaning brush 412, and the third cleaning brush 413 are spaced apart along the transverse direction of the vehicle body 200. This minimizes the volume of the cleaning brush and reduces costs while maintaining high cleaning efficiency.

[0024] In some embodiments, the sweeper 10 further comprises a separating assembly 500, wherein the separating assembly 500 is arranged at the front of the vehicle head and the separating assembly 500 comprises a group of opposing separating plates, the separating plates being inclined and serving to push waste from the front of the vehicle to both sides. That is, when a large amount of waste is present in front of the vehicle, the separating assembly 500 can separate this waste and push it to both sides of the vehicle, thereby preventing any impairment of the vehicle's movement. At the same time, the road surface remaining after pre-cleaning is prepared for cleaning by the sweeper 10, thereby increasing the cleaning efficiency of the sweeper 10.In some embodiments, the sweeper 10 further comprises a compression assembly 600, wherein the compression assembly 600 is arranged in the receiving chamber 210, and the compression assembly 600 serves to compress waste. That is, when the waste enters the receiving chamber 210, the compression assembly 600 compresses the waste in order to increase the amount of waste collected in the receiving chamber 210, thereby making the cleaning performance of the sweeper 10 relatively high.

[0025] In some embodiments, the compression assembly 600 comprises a first compression element 610, a second compression element 620, and a third compression element (not shown in the figure), wherein the first compression element 610 is arranged on one side of the receiving space 210 in a first direction, the second compression element 620 is arranged on one side of the receiving space 210 in a second direction, and the third compression element is arranged on one side of the receiving space 210 in a third direction, the first, second, and third directions being perpendicular to each other. This allows the compression element to operate in three directions simultaneously to compress the volume of the waste as much as possible, thereby improving the collection capacity of the sweeper 10.

[0026] In some embodiments, a discharge opening 220 is provided at the rear of the vehicle body 200, with a discharge cover 230 being provided on the discharge opening 220, and the compressed waste is ejected through the discharge opening 220. It is understood that the volume of the compressed waste is relatively small, which allows discharge via the discharge opening 220 to increase the unloading efficiency of the sweeper 10. Furthermore, the discharge cover 230 arranged on the discharge opening 220 allows the discharge opening 220 to be covered to prevent moisture and the like from entering the receiving chamber 210 and impairing the performance of the sweeper 10.

[0027] In some embodiments, the sweeper 10 further comprises sensors 700, wherein the number of sensors 700 is multiple and these sensors are arranged at intervals on the front of the vehicle body 200, the sensors 700 serving to detect the road condition. That is, during the movement process of the sweeper 10, multiple sensors 700 are arranged around the vehicle, the sensors 700 being used to detect and classify the waste around the vehicle, with waste of a relatively larger size being transported and picked up by the robot arm 310 and waste of a relatively smaller size being cleaned and picked up by the cleaning brush, thereby making the use of the sweeper 10 more efficient and reliable.

[0028] In some embodiments, the sweeper 10 further comprises a filter assembly (not shown in the figure), wherein the filter assembly is arranged in the receiving chamber 210 and wherein the filter assembly is arranged opposite the discharge end of the cleaning unit 400, the filter assembly serving to prevent certain waste from entering the receiving chamber 210. This allows the waste to be classified by filtering and sorting at the discharge end of the cleaning unit 400, for example, distinguishing between metal and non-metal or between recyclable and non-recyclable, so that the waste materials can be distributed into different receiving chambers for collection and use, thus enabling the following vehicle to empty the waste separately to facilitate subsequent recycling.
