Many specific details are elaborated in following description to facilitate a thorough understanding of the present disclosure. A specific implementation described here is only for the purpose of explaining the present disclosure and does not limit a scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0044] It should be noted that, when a member is considered “fixed on” or “set on” another member, it can be directly fixed to another member or there may be a centered member present simultaneously. When a member is considered “connected to” another member, it can be directly connected to another member or there may be a centered member present simultaneously. The terms “vertical”, “horizontal”, “upper”, “lower”, “left”, “right”, “side”, “top”, “bottom” and similar expressions used in the specification of the present disclosure are only used to describe various exemplary structural parts and elements of the present disclosure, but these terms are used herein only for the purpose of convenient description, are determined based on the exemplary orientations shown in the drawings, and do not represent the only embodiments. Since the embodiments disclosed in the disclosure may be arranged in different directions, these terms representing directions are only illustrative and should not be considered as limiting, for example, “upper” and “lower” are not necessarily defined as directions opposite to or consistent with the direction of gravity.

[0045] In addition, the terms “first” and “second” are only used to describe the purpose and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implying the quantity of indicated technical features. Therefore, the features limited to “first” and “second” can explicitly or implicitly include at least one of these features. In the description of the present disclosure, “multiple” means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless there is an otherwise specific limitation.

[0046] In the present disclosure, unless there is the otherwise specifications and limitations, the first feature is “above” or “below” the second feature which may be a direct contact between the first and second features, or the first features and the second features may be in indirect contact through an intermediate medium. Moreover, the first feature is “on”, “above”, and “over” the second feature can be that the first feature is directly or diagonally above the second feature, or only indicates that the first feature is horizontally higher than the second feature. The first feature is “beneath”, “below”, and “under” the second feature can be that the first feature is directly or diagonally below the second feature, or only indicate that the horizontal height of the first feature is less than that of the second feature.

[0047] It should be noted that “disposed along an axis of an element” means that an overall arrangement direction is along an axis of an element, including but not limited to axial extension, and may form an included angle with the axis.

[0048] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in the article have the same meanings as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art of the present disclosure. The terms used in the specification of the present disclosure are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present disclosure. The term “and / or” used in the article includes any and all combinations of one or more related listed items.

[0049] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the present disclosure discloses a cleaning tool. The cleaning tool includes a gripping member 1 and two cleaning members 2. The gripping member 1 includes two gripping portions spaced from each other along a first direction A. Two cleaning members are disposed on two inner surfaces of the two gripping portions opposite to each other, respectively. Each of the two cleaning members 2 includes a cleaning portion 21 for cleaning an object to be cleaned. The two gripping portions are configured to make the object to be cleaned to insert therebetween.

[0050] It can be understood that a cleaning region can be defined between the two cleaning portions 21 disposed on the two gripping portions opposite to each other, and the object to be cleaned can be inserted into a space between the cleaning regions to clean the inserted portions of the two surfaces of the object to be cleaned. Thus, when the gripping member 1 moves relative to the object to be cleaned, the two cleaning portions 21 can clean the object to be cleaned, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency. In addition, since the object to be cleaned reciprocates relative to the gripping members 1, the object to be cleaned can be repeatedly cleaned, thereby prolonging cleaning time for the object to be cleaned, and the cleaning tool has a great cleaning effect. In the present disclosure, “object to be cleaned” is a component to be cleaned.

[0051] It should be noted that the above “The two gripping portions are configured to make the object to be cleaned to insert therebetween” means that a gap configured for inserting at least part of the object to be cleaned is formed between the two cleaning portions 21 disposed on the two gripping portions; optionally, at least part of the object to be cleaned can insert into a splicing region where the two cleaning portions 21 disposed on the two gripping portions are in contact with each other.

[0052] Since the cleaning member 2 is prone to dirt or wear during long term use, in order to clean or replace the cleaning member 2, the two cleaning members 2 can be detachably disposed on inner surfaces of two the gripping portion, respectively. By such arrangement, the two cleaning members 2 can be detached, so as to clean or replace the two cleaning members, and better meet requirements of users and adapt to different application scenarios.

[0053] In some embodiments, the two cleaning members 2 is disposed on the two gripping portions by at least one of a connecting member or a buckle structure, respectively, i.e., the two cleaning members 2 are disposed on the two gripping portions by either or both of the connecting member and the buckle structure. In an embodiment, the two cleaning members 2 may be disposed on the two gripping portions by a connecting member such as a screw, respectively. Therefore, it is more convenient and simpler to assemble the two cleaning members 2 by the connecting member. In an embodiment, the two cleaning members 2 are disposed on the two gripping portions by the buckle structure, respectively. Therefore, it is more convenient and faster to assembly the cleaning member 2 with the buckle structure. In addition, the two cleaning members 2 may be disposed on the two gripping portions by a combination of the connecting member and the buckle structure, respectively. By such arrangement, the two cleaning members 2 can be reliably and firmly disposed on the two gripping portion, respectively.

[0054] In an embodiment, each of the two cleaning members 2 may only include the cleaning portion 21, i.e., the cleaning member 2 is configured as the cleaning portion 21. In an embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, expecting the cleaning portion 21, each of the two cleaning members 2 further includes a connecting plate 22, i.e., each of the two cleaning members 2 includes the cleaning portion 21 and the connecting plate 22. By such arrangement, each of the two cleaning portions 21 can be disposed on corresponding one of the two gripping portions via the connecting plate 22.

[0055] In an embodiment, the connecting plate 22 is fixed on an inner surface of each of the two gripping portions.

[0056] In another embodiment, the connecting plate 22 is detachably disposed on the inner surface of each of the two gripping portions. Each of the cleaning portions 21 is disposed on the connecting plate 22. At least part of each of the two cleaning portions 21 is located between the two connecting plates 22. By such arrangement, the cleaning portion 21 is detachably connected to the gripping portion via the connecting plate 22. When the two cleaning portions 21 should be cleaned or replaced, only the connecting plate 22 is required to be removed, which is more convenient.

[0057] The object to be cleaned includes a blade portion capable of being inserted between the two cleaning portions 21 disposed on the two gripping portions, respectively. In order to completely cover a width area of an entire first portion 61 of the object to be cleaned, the width of the first portion 61 is less than or equal to that of the cleaning portion 21. By such arrangement, the width of the first portion 61 can be covered by the two cleaning portions 21, and when the two cleaning portions 21 frictionally slide relative to the first portion 61, both surfaces of the first portion 61 of the object to be cleaned can be cleaned, thereby improving cleaning efficiency of the first portion 61. The first portion 61 is configured as a blade portion.

[0058] Since the gripping portion is gripped by a hand to drive the gripping portion to move relative to the object to be cleaned,, it is difficult to apply force on the gripping portion due to sliding between the hand and the gripping portion in operation. In order to increase a friction between the hand and the gripping portion, an outer surface of the gripping portion away from the cleaning portion 21 is provided with an anti-slip structure 5. The anti-slip structure 5 may be an anti-slip pattern, an anti-slip rib, an anti-slip groove or other anti-slip portions.

[0059] In order to adapt to different application scenarios, the cleaning portion 21 is configured as at least one of a sponge, a scouring pad, or a first brush extending along the first direction A.

[0060] In addition, both the two gripping portions may be in a plate shape or have other shapes.

[0061] Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the gripping member 1 further includes a connecting portion configured for connecting the two gripping portions. The cleaning member 2 and the connecting portion are sequentially disposed along a second direction B. A first angle is defined between the second direction B and the first direction A. Due to the connecting portion, the two gripping portions can be connected to each other, thereby solving a problem that the two gripping portions are easily lost due to independent arrangement, and practicability of the cleaning tool is stronger.

[0062] It should be noted that, as shown in FIG. 1, a first angle β is defined between the second direction B and the first direction A, and the first angle β between the second direction B and the first direction A satisfies following formula: 0<β<180°, i.e., the first angle β between the second direction B and the first direction A is one of an acute angle, an obtuse angle, or a right angle which is in a range of 0 to 180°.

[0063] Each of the two cleaning portions 21 includes a first brushing member 211. The first brushing member 211 is configured as at least one of the sponge, the scouring pad, and a brush sheet. In the present implementation, the first brushing member 211 includes a first brush row. The first brush row includes a plurality of first brush columns 2111 extended along the first direction A. In an embodiment, the first brush row includes at least two rows of the first brush columns sequentially disposed along the second direction B. Therefore, the blade portion can be cleaned.

[0064] The at least one cleaning portion 21 further includes a second brush member. On the cleaning portion 21 provided with the second brush member, the first brushing member 211 is located between the second brush member and the connecting portion, and the second brush member is towards a direction away from the connecting portion from the gripping portion on which the second brush member is located. By such arrangement, the inclined second brush member can be configured for cleaning a joint between the blade portion of the trowel and a blade handle of the trowel.

[0065] As shown in FIG. 1, a second angle α defined between the second brush and the first direction A is an acute angle. In an embodiment, the second angle α between the second brush and the first direction A satisfies following formula: 0<α<80°, i.e., the second angle α between the second brush and the first direction A is selected from any value in a range of 0 to 80°.

[0066] In an embodiment, the second brush member is the brush sheet. In the an embodiment, the second brush member merely includes the second brush row 212. The second brush row 212 includes a plurality of second brush columns 2121 disposed in sequence along a length direction of the gripping member 1. Each of the plurality of second brush columns 2121 is inclined away from the connecting portion along the first direction A from the gripping portion where the plurality of second brush columns 2121 are located.

[0067] In an embodiment, one of the two gripping portions is provided with a second brush. Along the second direction B, a width of one of the two gripping portions where the second brush is located is less than that of an other of the two gripping portions. In addition, an end wall of at least one of the two gripping portions away from the connecting portion is configured as an inclined wall 14. In an embodiment, the inclined wall 14 and the second brush member are disposed on the same gripping portion. In an embodiment, the inclined wall 14 and the second brush member are disposed on different gripping portions. In an embodiment, one of the two gripping portions is provided with the second brush member, an end wall of an other of the two gripping portions away from the connecting portion is configured as the inclined wall 14, and a third angle is defined between the inclined wall 14 and the first direction A. By such arrangement, the inclined wall 14 may be configured as a blade to clean the object to be cleaned from stubborn contaminants. The two gripping portions of the gripping member 1 are defined as a first gripping portion 11 and a second gripping portion 12, respectively.

[0068] In some other embodiments, the inclined wall 14 is disposed on the second gripping portion, and the second brush member is disposed on the first gripping portion. In an embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the inclined wall 14 is disposed on the first gripping portion 11, and the second brush is disposed on the second gripping portion 12. In an embodiment, along the second direction B, a width of the first gripping portion 11 is greater than that of the second gripping portion 12, i.e., the first gripping portion 11 and the second gripping portion 12 are staggered with each other. Each of ends of the two gripping portions adjacent to the connecting portion is defined as a first end 15, and each of ends of the two gripping portions away from the connecting portion are defined as a second end 16, such that the inclined wall 14 is an end wall of the second end 16 of the first gripping portion 11. A projection of the second end 16 of the second gripping portion 12 on the first gripping portion 11 along the first direction A is located between the inclined wall 14 and the connecting portion. By such arrangement, the inclined wall 14 configured as the blade can be more convenient to use. When the inclined wall 14 is used as the blade, the second end 16 of the second gripping portion 12 is prevented from covering a line of sight, thereby facilitating observing a bladed region of the blade.

[0069] In some other embodiments, the inclined wall 14 is inclined toward another gripping portion along the second direction B. In an embodiment, the inclined wall 14 is inclined away from the other gripping portion along the second direction B. Furthermore, the other gripping portion refers to a gripping portion disposed opposite to the corresponding one of the two gripping portions where the inclined wall 14 is located.

[0070] A direction perpendicular to both the first direction A and the second direction B is defined as a third direction D. As shown in FIG. 2, both two ends of the second end 16 along the third direction D are provided with a notch 162. Two ends of the blade handle can give way via the notch 162, and at the same time. When the cleaning tool moves toward the trowel, the blade portion is configured to make the blade to insert therebetween, and edges of the notch abuts against the blade handle of the trowel to guide motion of the cleaning tool.

[0071] It should be noted that the connecting portion may be a straight portion or other forms. Two forms of the connecting portion are described below.First Embodiment

[0072] As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the connecting portion is configured as an arc-shaped portion 13 arched in a direction away from the two cleaning members 2. The arc-shaped portion 13 is fixed to the two gripping portions. Alternatively, the arc-shaped portion 13 and the two gripping portions are an integral structure. A cross section of the gripping member 1 is C-shaped. By such arrangement, it is convenient for hands to grasp while maintaining overall strength of the gripping member 1.

[0073] In order to improve strength of the gripping member 1, the cleaning tool further includes a reinforcing portion 3. The reinforcing portion 3 is disposed on an inner surface of the connecting portion towards the cleaning member 2. By such arrangement, overall strength of the gripping portion 1 can be further improved.

[0074] In an embodiment, the reinforcing portion 3 extends along a length direction of the gripping member 1. The reinforcing portion 3 includes a first reinforcing plate 31 and a second reinforcing plate 32. The first reinforcing plate 31 is disposed along the first direction A. Two opposite side walls of the first reinforcing plate 31 are fixed to inner surfaces of the two gripping portions, respectively. The second reinforcing plate 32 is connected to and located between the first reinforcing plate 31 and the connecting portion and disposed along the second direction B. Support strength for the two gripping portions is improved and an anti-deformation strength at the connection portion is improved by mating the first reinforcing plate 31 with the second reinforcing plate 32.

[0075] Furthermore, the first reinforcing plate 31 includes two reinforcing ribs 311 spaced from each other along the first direction A and a connecting rib 312 disposed between the two reinforcing ribs 311.

[0043] In order to make above objectives, features, and advantages of the present disclosure more obvious and understandable, a detailed explanation of the specific implementation of the present disclosure will be provided below in combination with drawings. Many specific details are elaborated in following description to facilitate a thorough understanding of the present disclosure. A specific implementation described here is only for the purpose of explaining the present disclosure and does not limit a scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0044] It should be noted that, when a member is considered “fixed on” or “set on” another member, it can be directly fixed to another member or there may be a centered member present simultaneously. When a member is considered “connected to” another member, it can be directly connected to another member or there may be a centered member present simultaneously. The terms “vertical”, “horizontal”, “upper”, “lower”, “left”, “right”, “side”, “top”, “bottom” and similar expressions used in the specification of the present disclosure are only used to describe various exemplary structural parts and elements of the present disclosure, but these terms are used herein only for the purpose of convenient description, are determined based on the exemplary orientations shown in the drawings, and do not represent the only embodiments. Since the embodiments disclosed in the disclosure may be arranged in different directions, these terms representing directions are only illustrative and should not be considered as limiting, for example, “upper” and “lower” are not necessarily defined as directions opposite to or consistent with the direction of gravity.

[0045] In addition, the terms “first” and “second” are only used to describe the purpose and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implying the quantity of indicated technical features. Therefore, the features limited to “first” and “second” can explicitly or implicitly include at least one of these features. In the description of the present disclosure, “multiple” means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless there is an otherwise specific limitation.

[0046] In the present disclosure, unless there is the otherwise specifications and limitations, the first feature is “above” or “below” the second feature which may be a direct contact between the first and second features, or the first features and the second features may be in indirect contact through an intermediate medium. Moreover, the first feature is “on”, “above”, and “over” the second feature can be that the first feature is directly or diagonally above the second feature, or only indicates that the first feature is horizontally higher than the second feature. The first feature is “beneath”, “below”, and “under” the second feature can be that the first feature is directly or diagonally below the second feature, or only indicate that the horizontal height of the first feature is less than that of the second feature.

[0047] It should be noted that “disposed along an axis of an element” means that an overall arrangement direction is along an axis of an element, including but not limited to axial extension, and may form an included angle with the axis.

[0048] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in the article have the same meanings as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art of the present disclosure. The terms used in the specification of the present disclosure are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present disclosure. The term “and / or” used in the article includes any and all combinations of one or more related listed items.

[0049] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the present disclosure discloses a cleaning tool. The cleaning tool includes a gripping member 1 and two cleaning members 2. The gripping member 1 includes two gripping portions spaced from each other along a first direction A. Two cleaning members are disposed on two inner surfaces of the two gripping portions opposite to each other, respectively. Each of the two cleaning members 2 includes a cleaning portion 21 for cleaning an object to be cleaned. The two gripping portions are configured to make the object to be cleaned to insert therebetween.

[0050] It can be understood that a cleaning region can be defined between the two cleaning portions 21 disposed on the two gripping portions opposite to each other, and the object to be cleaned can be inserted into a space between the cleaning regions to clean the inserted portions of the two surfaces of the object to be cleaned. Thus, when the gripping member 1 moves relative to the object to be cleaned, the two cleaning portions 21 can clean the object to be cleaned, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency. In addition, since the object to be cleaned reciprocates relative to the gripping members 1, the object to be cleaned can be repeatedly cleaned, thereby prolonging cleaning time for the object to be cleaned, and the cleaning tool has a great cleaning effect. In the present disclosure, “object to be cleaned” is a component to be cleaned.

[0051] It should be noted that the above “The two gripping portions are configured to make the object to be cleaned to insert therebetween” means that a gap configured for inserting at least part of the object to be cleaned is formed between the two cleaning portions 21 disposed on the two gripping portions; optionally, at least part of the object to be cleaned can insert into a splicing region where the two cleaning portions 21 disposed on the two gripping portions are in contact with each other.

[0052] Since the cleaning member 2 is prone to dirt or wear during long term use, in order to clean or replace the cleaning member 2, the two cleaning members 2 can be detachably disposed on inner surfaces of two the gripping portion, respectively. By such arrangement, the two cleaning members 2 can be detached, so as to clean or replace the two cleaning members, and better meet requirements of users and adapt to different application scenarios.

[0053] In some embodiments, the two cleaning members 2 is disposed on the two gripping portions by at least one of a connecting member or a buckle structure, respectively, i.e., the two cleaning members 2 are disposed on the two gripping portions by either or both of the connecting member and the buckle structure. In an embodiment, the two cleaning members 2 may be disposed on the two gripping portions by a connecting member such as a screw, respectively. Therefore, it is more convenient and simpler to assemble the two cleaning members 2 by the connecting member. In an embodiment, the two cleaning members 2 are disposed on the two gripping portions by the buckle structure, respectively. Therefore, it is more convenient and faster to assembly the cleaning member 2 with the buckle structure. In addition, the two cleaning members 2 may be disposed on the two gripping portions by a combination of the connecting member and the buckle structure, respectively. By such arrangement, the two cleaning members 2 can be reliably and firmly disposed on the two gripping portion, respectively.

[0054] In an embodiment, each of the two cleaning members 2 may only include the cleaning portion 21, i.e., the cleaning member 2 is configured as the cleaning portion 21. In an embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, expecting the cleaning portion 21, each of the two cleaning members 2 further includes a connecting plate 22, i.e., each of the two cleaning members 2 includes the cleaning portion 21 and the connecting plate 22. By such arrangement, each of the two cleaning portions 21 can be disposed on corresponding one of the two gripping portions via the connecting plate 22.

[0055] In an embodiment, the connecting plate 22 is fixed on an inner surface of each of the two gripping portions.

[0056] In another embodiment, the connecting plate 22 is detachably disposed on the inner surface of each of the two gripping portions. Each of the cleaning portions 21 is disposed on the connecting plate 22. At least part of each of the two cleaning portions 21 is located between the two connecting plates 22. By such arrangement, the cleaning portion 21 is detachably connected to the gripping portion via the connecting plate 22. When the two cleaning portions 21 should be cleaned or replaced, only the connecting plate 22 is required to be removed, which is more convenient.

[0057] The object to be cleaned includes a blade portion capable of being inserted between the two cleaning portions 21 disposed on the two gripping portions, respectively. In order to completely cover a width area of an entire first portion 61 of the object to be cleaned, the width of the first portion 61 is less than or equal to that of the cleaning portion 21. By such arrangement, the width of the first portion 61 can be covered by the two cleaning portions 21, and when the two cleaning portions 21 frictionally slide relative to the first portion 61, both surfaces of the first portion 61 of the object to be cleaned can be cleaned, thereby improving cleaning efficiency of the first portion 61. The first portion 61 is configured as a blade portion.

[0058] Since the gripping portion is gripped by a hand to drive the gripping portion to move relative to the object to be cleaned,, it is difficult to apply force on the gripping portion due to sliding between the hand and the gripping portion in operation. In order to increase a friction between the hand and the gripping portion, an outer surface of the gripping portion away from the cleaning portion 21 is provided with an anti-slip structure 5. The anti-slip structure 5 may be an anti-slip pattern, an anti-slip rib, an anti-slip groove or other anti-slip portions.

[0059] In order to adapt to different application scenarios, the cleaning portion 21 is configured as at least one of a sponge, a scouring pad, or a first brush extending along the first direction A.

[0060] In addition, both the two gripping portions may be in a plate shape or have other shapes.

[0061] Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the gripping member 1 further includes a connecting portion configured for connecting the two gripping portions. The cleaning member 2 and the connecting portion are sequentially disposed along a second direction B. A first angle is defined between the second direction B and the first direction A. Due to the connecting portion, the two gripping portions can be connected to each other, thereby solving a problem that the two gripping portions are easily lost due to independent arrangement, and practicability of the cleaning tool is stronger.

[0062] It should be noted that, as shown in FIG. 1, a first angle β is defined between the second direction B and the first direction A, and the first angle β between the second direction B and the first direction A satisfies following formula: 0<β<180°, i.e., the first angle β between the second direction B and the first direction A is one of an acute angle, an obtuse angle, or a right angle which is in a range of 0 to 180°.

[0063] Each of the two cleaning portions 21 includes a first brushing member 211. The first brushing member 211 is configured as at least one of the sponge, the scouring pad, and a brush sheet. In the present implementation, the first brushing member 211 includes a first brush row. The first brush row includes a plurality of first brush columns 2111 extended along the first direction A. In an embodiment, the first brush row includes at least two rows of the first brush columns sequentially disposed along the second direction B. Therefore, the blade portion can be cleaned.

[0064] The at least one cleaning portion 21 further includes a second brush member. On the cleaning portion 21 provided with the second brush member, the first brushing member 211 is located between the second brush member and the connecting portion, and the second brush member is towards a direction away from the connecting portion from the gripping portion on which the second brush member is located. By such arrangement, the inclined second brush member can be configured for cleaning a joint between the blade portion of the trowel and a blade handle of the trowel.

[0065] As shown in FIG. 1, a second angle α defined between the second brush and the first direction A is an acute angle. In an embodiment, the second angle α between the second brush and the first direction A satisfies following formula: 0<α<80°, i.e., the second angle α between the second brush and the first direction A is selected from any value in a range of 0 to 80°.

[0066] In an embodiment, the second brush member is the brush sheet. In the an embodiment, the second brush member merely includes the second brush row 212. The second brush row 212 includes a plurality of second brush columns 2121 disposed in sequence along a length direction of the gripping member 1. Each of the plurality of second brush columns 2121 is inclined away from the connecting portion along the first direction A from the gripping portion where the plurality of second brush columns 2121 are located.

[0067] In an embodiment, one of the two gripping portions is provided with a second brush. Along the second direction B, a width of one of the two gripping portions where the second brush is located is less than that of an other of the two gripping portions. In addition, an end wall of at least one of the two gripping portions away from the connecting portion is configured as an inclined wall 14. In an embodiment, the inclined wall 14 and the second brush member are disposed on the same gripping portion. In an embodiment, the inclined wall 14 and the second brush member are disposed on different gripping portions. In an embodiment, one of the two gripping portions is provided with the second brush member, an end wall of an other of the two gripping portions away from the connecting portion is configured as the inclined wall 14, and a third angle is defined between the inclined wall 14 and the first direction A. By such arrangement, the inclined wall 14 may be configured as a blade to clean the object to be cleaned from stubborn contaminants. The two gripping portions of the gripping member 1 are defined as a first gripping portion 11 and a second gripping portion 12, respectively.

[0068] In some other embodiments, the inclined wall 14 is disposed on the second gripping portion, and the second brush member is disposed on the first gripping portion. In an embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the inclined wall 14 is disposed on the first gripping portion 11, and the second brush is disposed on the second gripping portion 12. In an embodiment, along the second direction B, a width of the first gripping portion 11 is greater than that of the second gripping portion 12, i.e., the first gripping portion 11 and the second gripping portion 12 are staggered with each other. Each of ends of the two gripping portions adjacent to the connecting portion is defined as a first end 15, and each of ends of the two gripping portions away from the connecting portion are defined as a second end 16, such that the inclined wall 14 is an end wall of the second end 16 of the first gripping portion 11. A projection of the second end 16 of the second gripping portion 12 on the first gripping portion 11 along the first direction A is located between the inclined wall 14 and the connecting portion. By such arrangement, the inclined wall 14 configured as the blade can be more convenient to use. When the inclined wall 14 is used as the blade, the second end 16 of the second gripping portion 12 is prevented from covering a line of sight, thereby facilitating observing a bladed region of the blade.

[0069] In some other embodiments, the inclined wall 14 is inclined toward another gripping portion along the second direction B. In an embodiment, the inclined wall 14 is inclined away from the other gripping portion along the second direction B. Furthermore, the other gripping portion refers to a gripping portion disposed opposite to the corresponding one of the two gripping portions where the inclined wall 14 is located.

[0070] A direction perpendicular to both the first direction A and the second direction B is defined as a third direction D. As shown in FIG. 2, both two ends of the second end 16 along the third direction D are provided with a notch 162. Two ends of the blade handle can give way via the notch 162, and at the same time. When the cleaning tool moves toward the trowel, the blade portion is configured to make the blade to insert therebetween, and edges of the notch abuts against the blade handle of the trowel to guide motion of the cleaning tool.
