When an element is referred to as being "connected to" another element, it may be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intermediate element.

[0045] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one skilled in the art to which this invention pertains. The terms used in this specification of the present invention are for the purpose of describing specific embodiments only and are not intended to limit the present invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0046] As shown in Figures 1-7, this embodiment provides a floor brush assembly, including a housing 100, a first roller brush 510, and a second roller brush 520, wherein:

[0047] 1-2 and 7 , a first roller brush 510 and a second roller brush 520 are arranged in the shell 100 , which also includes a motor (not shown in the figure), wires (not shown in the figure), etc. On the one hand, the shell 100 can cover the components to make the product more beautiful, and on the other hand, it can prevent external damage to the components inside the shell 100.

[0048] 1-2 , the roller brush includes a first roller brush 510 and a second roller brush 520. The first roller brush 510 and the second roller brush 520 are installed in parallel in the shell 100. The first roller brush 510 is arranged on the second axis and rotates around the second axis. The second roller brush 520 is arranged on the third axis and rotates around the third axis so that the bristles of the first roller brush 510 and the second roller brush 520 are in contact with the surface to be cleaned, so that the bristles of the first roller brush 510 and the second roller brush 520 can clean the surface to be cleaned during the rotation process.

[0049] 1-2 , a first rotating mechanism is rotatably disposed within housing 100 about a first axis and connected to a first roller brush 510 , allowing the first roller brush 510 to rotate along with the first rotating mechanism about the first axis. A second rotating mechanism is rotatably disposed within the first rotating mechanism about a second axis and connected to a second roller brush 520 , allowing the second roller brush 520 to rotate along with the second rotating mechanism about the second axis. The first axis is parallel to the second axis and the third axis. Therefore, the height of the first roller brush 510 can be adjusted by the first rotating mechanism, and the height of the second roller brush 520 can be adjusted by the second rotating mechanism, ensuring that the first roller brush 510 and the second roller brush 520 can flexibly contact the surface to be cleaned. During operation, the roller brushes have strong adaptability to the surface to be cleaned, reducing the load on the motor. In one possible implementation, the first rotating mechanism includes a first connector 310 and a fourth connector 420 , and the second rotating mechanism includes a second connector 320 and a third connector 410 .

[0050] Specifically:

[0051] The two ends of the first roller brush 510 are respectively connected to the first end of the first connecting member 310 and the second end of the second connecting member 320. The second end of the second connecting member 320 is rotatably connected to the first end of the fourth connecting member 420, so that the second connecting member 320 can rotate about the second axis. The second ends of the first connecting member 310 and the fourth connecting member 420 are rotatably connected to the housing 100, so that the first connecting member 310 and the fourth connecting member 420 can rotate about the first axis, driving the first roller brush 510 to rotate about the first axis. In the floor brush assembly provided in this embodiment, the first rotation mechanism only controls the rotation height of the first roller brush 510, rather than controlling the rotation height of both the first roller brush 510 and the second roller brush 520 through the first rotation mechanism. Therefore, when encountering an inclined working surface, the first roller brush 510 and the second roller brush 520 can rotate about their corresponding second axis and first axis respectively until they always maintain flexible contact with the surface to be cleaned, effectively reducing the load on the motor. In addition, it should be pointed out that the first axis is fictitious, and its purpose is to illustrate that the rotation center of the first connecting member 310 and the rotation center of the fourth connecting member 420 are at the same height, thereby achieving synchronous rotation adjustment.

[0052] The second roller brush 520 has two ends connected to the first ends of the third connector 410 and the second connector 320, respectively. The second end of the third connector 410 is rotatably connected to the first end of the first connector 310, allowing the third connector 410 to rotate about a second axis. The second roller brush 520 rotates along the second and third connectors 320 and 410 about the second axis. The second axis is aligned with the axis of the first roller brush 510. In the floor brush assembly provided in this embodiment, the second rotation mechanism only controls the rotation height of the second roller brush 520. After the first roller brush 510 rotates to adjust its height following the first rotation mechanism, the second roller brush 520 can also rotate to adjust its height following the second rotation mechanism. This ensures that the first and second roller brushes 510, 520, can flexibly contact the surface to be cleaned. During operation, the roller brushes have greater adaptability to the surface to be cleaned, reducing the load on the motor. It should be noted that the second axis is fictitious, intended to illustrate that the rotation centers of the second and third connectors 320 and 410 are at the same height, thereby achieving synchronized rotation adjustment.

[0053] In summary, referring to Figures 3-5, which are partial schematic diagrams of the roller brush height adjustment in an embodiment of the present invention, when the surface to be cleaned is a horizontal surface, referring to Figure 3, because the roller brushes are arranged in parallel, there is no need to adjust the first connecting member 310 and the third connecting member 410; in addition, when the surface to be cleaned is uneven, in order to avoid the roller brush being unloaded and increase the load of the motor, it is necessary to adjust the first connecting member 310 and the third connecting member 410 separately so that the first roller brush 510 and the second roller brush 520 can flexibly contact the surface to be cleaned. During operation, the roller brush has a strong adaptability to the surface to be cleaned.

[0054] Specifically, as shown in Figure 4, when the surface to be cleaned is tilted upward, after the first roller brush 510 contacts the surface to be cleaned, the third connecting member 410 adjusts the position of the second roller brush 520 by rotating upward to ensure that the first roller brush 510 and the second roller brush 520 can flexibly contact the surface to be cleaned; referring to Figure 5, when the surface to be cleaned is tilted downward, after the first roller brush 510 contacts the surface to be cleaned, the third connecting member 410 adjusts the position of the second roller brush 520 by rotating downward to ensure that the first roller brush 510 and the second roller brush 520 can flexibly contact the surface to be cleaned. During operation, the roller brushes have a strong adaptability to the surface to be cleaned. When the cleaning machine is placed on the surface to be cleaned, the first and second roller brushes 510, 520 utilize their own gravity to flexibly contact the surface to be cleaned. When the height of the surface to be cleaned is raised, the second roller brush 520 can rotate independently through the second connecting member 320 and the third connecting member 410, and the height of the surface to be cleaned pushes the second roller brush 520 to rotate. Therefore, when the second roller brush 520 contacts the surface to be cleaned, the height of the second roller brush 520 will be raised to make the second roller brush 520 flexibly contact the surface to be cleaned. Similarly, when the height of the surface to be cleaned is lowered, the second roller brush 520 rotates independently through the first connecting member 310 and the fourth connecting member 420, and relies on its own gravity to rotate downward to contact the surface to be cleaned. Therefore, when the second roller brush 520 contacts the surface to be cleaned, the height of the second roller brush 520 will be lowered to make the second roller brush 520 flexibly contact the surface to be cleaned.

[0055] Optionally, a first boss 311 is provided at the first end of the first connecting member 310 on a side away from the first roller brush 510, and a first through hole 411 is provided at the second end of the third connecting member 410, and the first boss 311 is rotatably passed through the first through hole 411; the passing here means that the radial dimension of the first boss 311 is smaller than the radial dimension of the first through hole 411, so that the third connecting member 410 can rotate around the first boss 311, and the height of the second roller brush 520 can be adjusted by rotating the third connecting member 410. As shown in Figure 1-2, the first boss 311 is cylindrical, and the corresponding first through hole 411 is a circular hole. Such a design can reduce the friction force when the third connecting member 410 rotates. Of course, the first boss 311 can also be any other shape, and the first through hole 411 is adapted to the shape of the first boss 311, so that the third connecting member 410 can rotate around the first boss 311.

[0056] The floor brush assembly further includes a first stopper 424, which is fixed to one end of the first boss 311 extending through the first through-hole 411, and is used to limit the third connecting member 410 to the first boss 311. In one possible implementation, the first stopper 424 is a shaft circlip, the radial length of which is greater than the radial length of the first through-hole 411 on the third connecting member 410, so that the third connecting member 410 cannot slide out of the first boss 311 through the shaft circlip. Of course, the stopper may also be any other suitable component, as long as it ensures that the third connecting member 410 is restricted to the first boss 311.

[0057] Optionally, the second end of the second connecting member 320 is provided with a second boss 324 on the side away from the first roller brush 510, and the first end of the fourth connecting member 420 is provided with a second through hole 422, and the second boss 324 is rotatably penetrated in the second through hole 422; the penetration mentioned here means that the radial dimension of the second boss 324 is smaller than the radial dimension of the second through hole 422, so that the fourth connecting member 420 can rotate around the second boss 324, and the height of the second roller brush 520 can be adjusted by rotating the fourth connecting member 420. As shown in Figure 1-2, the second boss 324 is cylindrical, and the corresponding second through hole 422 is a circular hole. Such a design can reduce the friction force when the fourth connecting member 420 rotates. Of course, the second boss 324 can also be any other shape, and the second through hole 422 is adapted to the shape of the second boss 324, so that the fourth connecting member 420 can rotate around the second boss 324.

[0058] The floor brush assembly further includes a second limiting member 425, which is fixed to one end of the second boss 324 extending through the second through-hole 422, and is used to limit the fourth connecting member 420 to the second boss 324. In one possible implementation, the second limiting member 425 is a shaft circlip, and the radial length of the shaft circlip is greater than the radial length of the second through-hole 422 in the fourth connecting member 420, so that the fourth connecting member 420 cannot slide out of the second boss 324 through the shaft circlip. Of course, the limiting member can also be any other suitable component, as long as it ensures that the fourth connecting member 420 is restricted to the second boss 324.

[0059] Optionally, referring to Figures 1-2, the floor brush assembly also includes a first mounting bracket 110 and a second mounting bracket 210, and the first mounting bracket 110 and the second mounting bracket 210 are arranged in parallel and at intervals on the shell 100, and the first rotating mechanism is rotatably connected to the first mounting bracket 110 and the second mounting bracket 210 in the shell 100 around a first axis; in addition, in a possible implementation scheme, as shown in Figures 1-2, the first roller brush 510 is transmission-connected to the driving mechanism provided on the first mounting bracket 110, and the fourth connecting member 420 is rotationally matched with the second mounting bracket 210 through a rotating structure, and the driving mechanism and the rotating structure are coaxially arranged.

[0060] Specifically, as shown in Figures 1-2, a drive mechanism is disposed on the first mounting bracket 110 and includes a pulley 111, a belt 112, and a transmission shaft 113. The pulley 111 is connected to the transmission shaft 113, and the first roller brush 510 is connected to the pulley 111 via the belt 112. Specifically, the motor drives the transmission shaft 113 to rotate. Since the pulley 111 is connected to the transmission shaft 113, the rotation of the transmission shaft 113 drives the pulley 111 to rotate. The first roller brush 510 is connected to the pulley 111 via the belt 112, and the rotation of the pulley 111 drives the first roller brush 510 to rotate. Furthermore, the other end of the first roller brush 510 is connected to the second roller brush 520 via a synchronous belt 321. When one end of the first roller brush 510 is driven to rotate by the drive mechanism, the first roller brush 510 rotates as a whole, thereby driving the synchronous belt 321 at the other end of the first roller brush 510 to rotate, causing the second roller brush 520 to rotate synchronously.

[0061] In addition, the rotating structure includes a rotating shaft 421 set on the fourth connecting member 420 and a column hole set in the second mounting bracket 210; the rotating shaft 421 and the column hole are rotatably matched and are fixed by a clamping ring 423 to prevent the rotating shaft 421 on the fourth connecting member 420 from rotating and falling off.

[0062] In another possible implementation method, the first roller brush 510 is transmission-connected to the driving mechanism provided on the second mounting bracket 210, and the fourth connecting member 420 is rotationally matched with the first mounting bracket 110 through a rotating structure. The driving mechanism and the rotating structure are coaxially arranged, and the details are not repeated here.

[0063] Optionally, as shown in Figures 1-2, the first connecting member 310 is provided with a first fixed seat 312 on the side close to the first roller brush 510, the second connecting member 320 is provided with a second fixed seat 322 and a third fixed seat 323 at intervals on the side close to the second roller brush 520, and the third connecting member 410 is provided with a fourth fixed seat 412 on the side close to the second roller brush 520.

[0064] The first rotating shaft 511 is provided on the first rolling brush 510 along the length direction of the first rolling brush 510 and its two ends are fixedly connected to the first fixed seat 312 and the second fixed seat 322 respectively. The first rolling brush 510 is rotatably mounted on the first rotating shaft 511, and the first rotating shaft 511 is arranged on the second axis. Specifically, the first rolling brush 510 is rotated around the first rotating shaft 511 through the sliding bearings fixed at both ends of the first rolling brush 510; the second rotating shaft 521 is provided on the second rolling brush 520 along the length direction of the second rolling brush 520 and its two ends are fixedly connected to the third fixed seat 323 and the fourth fixed seat 412 respectively. The second rolling brush 520 is rotatably mounted on the second rotating shaft 521, and the second rotating shaft 521 is arranged on the third axis. Specifically, the second rolling brush 520 is rotated around the second rotating shaft 521 through the sliding bearings fixed at both ends of the second rolling brush 520. Optionally, as shown in Figures 1-2, the driving mechanism and the rotating structure are arranged on the first axis, that is, the rotation centers of the driving mechanism and the rotating structure are set at the same height, and the height of the first roller brush 510 can be adjusted synchronously; in addition, the first rotating shaft 511 is arranged on the second axis, thereby ensuring that the rotation center of the second connecting member 320 and the rotation center of the third connecting member 410 are at the same height as the first roller brush 510, and the height of the second roller brush 520 can be adjusted synchronously.

[0065] Optionally, as shown in Figure 1, the first end of the first connecting member 310 is rotatably connected to the second end of the third connecting member 410, and a first arc-shaped groove 426 is provided on the second end of the third connecting member 410, and a first arc-shaped chamfer adapted to the first arc-shaped groove 426 is provided on the first end of the first connecting member 310; the first connecting member 310 is rotatably connected to the first arc-shaped groove 426, so that the first arc-shaped groove 426 can limit the first connecting member 310, so that the third connecting member 410 can only rotate circumferentially when rotating around the first boss 311, limiting the axial or radial movement of the first connecting member 310, so that the first roller brush 510 is more stable when rotating.

[0066] In addition, the second end of the second connecting member 320 is rotatably connected to the first end of the fourth connecting member 420. The first end of the fourth connecting member 420 is provided with a second arcuate groove 427, and the second end of the second connecting member 320 is provided with a second arcuate chamfer that matches the second arcuate groove 427. The second connecting member 320 is rotatably connected to the second arcuate groove 427 so that the second arcuate groove 427 can limit the second connecting member 320, so that the fourth connecting member 420 can only rotate circumferentially when rotating around the second boss 324, limiting the axial or radial movement of the second connecting member 320 and making the first roller brush 510 more stable when rotating. Of course, in another possible implementation, the first end of the first connecting member 310 is provided with a first arcuate groove 426, the second end of the second connecting member 320 is provided with a second arcuate groove 427, the second end of the third connecting member 410 is provided with a first arcuate chamfer, and the first end of the fourth connecting member 420 is provided with a second arcuate chamfer. The details are not repeated here.

[0067] Optionally, as shown in Figures 1-2, one end of the first roller brush 510 is connected to the driving mechanism through a belt 112, and the other end of the first roller brush 510 is connected to the second roller brush 520 through a synchronous belt 321, driving the second roller brush 520 to rotate synchronously. Specifically, the driving mechanism drives one end of the first roller brush 510 to rotate through the belt 112, and synchronous wheels are respectively provided at the other end of the first roller brush 510 and the end of the second roller brush 520, and the synchronous belt 321 is installed on the synchronous wheel, so that the synchronous rotation of the first roller brush 510 and the second roller brush 520 can be achieved.

[0068] As shown in Figures 1-7, this embodiment also provides a cleaning machine, including the floor brush assembly provided in the above embodiments.

[0069] This embodiment provides a cleaning machine, in which the first connecting member 310 and the fourth connecting member 420 can rotate around the first axis, driving the first roller brush 510 to rotate around the first axis; the second connecting member 320 and the third connecting member 410 can rotate around the second axis, driving the second roller brush 520 to rotate around the second axis, ensuring that the first roller brush 510 and the second roller brush 520 can flexibly contact the surface to be cleaned. During operation, the roller brushes have strong adaptability to the surface to be cleaned, avoiding the situation where only one roller brush maintains flexible contact with the surface to be cleaned and the other roller brush is away from the surface to be cleaned, or the situation where one of the roller brushes is stuck in a lot of carpet hair, which cannot effectively reduce the load of the motor.

[0070] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0071] The above embodiments merely illustrate several implementations of the present invention, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent. It should be noted that a person skilled in the art would be able to make various modifications and improvements without departing from the spirit of the present invention, all of which fall within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the patent for this invention shall be determined by the appended claims.
