For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0058] The preferred embodiments of the present application are described below in conjunction with the drawings, and it should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present application, and are not used to limit the present application.

[0059] Referring to FIGS. 1-18, according to embodiments of the present application, a main brush cover is provided, which is applied to an automatic cleaning device, and the main brush cover 1 is provided with a sub-distribution structure for moving the debris on the moving path of the sub-distribution structure to outside the moving path.

[0060] By setting the shunting structure on the main brush cover 1, during the movement of the shunting structure with the automatic cleaning device, the shunting structure pushes the debris on the moving path of the shunting structure with the automatic cleaning device to the outside of the moving path, thereby avoiding the debris, especially the granular debris, from being stuck between the automatic cleaning device and the surface to be cleaned, thereby avoiding the automatic cleaning device moving with the granular debris to scratch the surface to be cleaned.

[0061] At least a part of the shunting structure is arranged at an angle with the advancing direction of the automatic cleaning device, so as to move the debris on the moving path of the shunting structure to the outside of the moving path.

[0062] The shunting structure can be arranged on the outer wall surface of the automatic cleaning device close to the surface to be cleaned, so that the shunting structure is between the outer wall surface of the automatic cleaning device and the surface to be cleaned, thereby moving the debris between the automatic cleaning device and the surface to be cleaned out of the moving path, avoiding the debris, especially the granular debris, from being stuck between the automatic cleaning device and the surface to be cleaned and moving with the automatic cleaning device, causing scratches on the surface to be cleaned.

[0063] The automatic cleaning device can be a sweeper, a window cleaner, etc. When the automatic cleaning device is a sweeper, the surface to be cleaned is the ground, and the shunting structure can be arranged at the bottom of the sweeper. When the automatic cleaning device is a window cleaner, the surface to be cleaned is the window glass, and the shunting structure can be arranged on the outer wall opposite to the window glass.

[0064] It should be noted that the automatic cleaning device usually moves in a straight line in one direction when performing cleaning operations, which can also be referred to as the front of the automatic cleaning device. The advancing direction in the embodiment can specifically refer to the advancing direction of the automatic cleaning device. Of course, it can be understood that the automatic cleaning device can also move backward or turn, in which case moving backward, left or right also belongs to the advancing direction. In order to avoid the problem of getting stuck with granular material as much as possible, the shunting structure can be arranged on the outer circumferential side of the position where the granular material is easy to get stuck, so that whether it is advancing, turning or reversing, the problem of getting stuck with granular material can be avoided.

[0065] As shown in FIGS. 1-4, according to the first embodiment of the embodiment of the present application, the shunting structure is integrally formed with the main brush cover 1, which can directly form the shunting structure when manufacturing the main brush cover 1, making the formation of the shunting structure more simple and convenient, and the integrated structure has good structural stability.

[0066] The main brush cover 1 can be made of injection molding, and the shunting structure is directly formed on the main brush cover 1 during injection molding.

[0067] The main brush cover 1 is used to cover the outer side of the main brush 4, and the main brush cover 1 comprises a clearance portion 14, which is arranged opposite to the end of the main brush 4, and a separation structure is formed on the outer wall of the clearance portion 14.

[0068] The clearance portion 14 in the main brush cover 1 is usually the part closest to the surface to be cleaned, so the clearance portion 14 is also the part most likely to be stuck with granular debris. By forming the separation structure on the outer wall of the clearance portion 14, the granular debris can be moved out of the front of the clearance portion 14 and away from the moving path of the clearance portion 14 when the automatic cleaning device is moving, which can minimize the risk of scratching the surface to be cleaned caused by the granular debris being stuck.

[0069] The clearance portion 14 is arched outward, thereby forming a clearance space in the main brush cover 1, and the main brush end cover 6 is in the clearance space, thereby avoiding interference between the main brush cover 1 and the main brush end cover 6. That is, the clearance portion 14 is the part of the main brush cover 1 that is arched outward to provide a clearance space for the main brush end cover 6.

[0070] Specifically, the separation structure is formed on the front outer wall of the clearance portion 14, thereby preferentially contacting the granular debris and moving the debris out of the moving path.

[0071] The main brush cover 1 comprises at least two clearance portions 14, and the separation structure is arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the clearance portions 14, which can ensure that each clearance portion 14 is protected by the corresponding separation structure.

[0072] Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 1, 3 and 4, the main brush cover 1 comprises two clearance portions 14, which are arranged corresponding to the two ends of the main brush 4, and the separation structure is formed on the front side wall of each clearance portion 14.

[0073] As shown in FIG. 2, in the first embodiment, the separation structure comprises a first separation surface 11 and a second separation surface 12, the first separation surface 11 and the second separation surface 12 are arranged at an angle to form a separation ridge 7 between the first separation surface 11 and the second separation surface 12, and the separation ridge 7 is arranged on the front side of the moving direction of the automatic cleaning device.

[0074] By arranging the first separation surface 11 and the second separation surface 12, the debris can be moved in two directions, thereby being divided to both sides, which has a good protection effect and can also avoid the debris on one side being too much to be stacked and then stuck between the main brush cover 1 and the surface to be cleaned. By forming the separation ridge 7 between the first separation surface 11 and the second separation surface 12, the debris can be divided, which makes it easier to be divided to both sides.

[0075] The first distribution surface 11 and the second distribution surface 12 can be symmetrically arranged about the split convex ridge 7, and the driving effect of the sundries to both sides is the same. The first distribution surface 11 and the second distribution surface 12 can also be asymmetrically arranged, and the angle of the first distribution surface 11 with the advancing direction and the angle of the second distribution surface 12 with the advancing direction can be set according to the actual situation, and then the sundries can be guided into the set area according to the demand.

[0076] The split convex ridge 7 can be a sharp angle or an arc surface. The formed sharp angle or arc surface protrudes along the advancing direction.

[0077] The split convex ridge 7 extends from the front side outer wall of the yielding part 14 to the end of the yielding part 14 close to the surface to be cleaned, which can ensure good shunting effect on granular sundries and further reduce the risk of sundries being stuck.

[0078] The split convex ridge 7 is in the shape of a long strip, and the split convex ridge 7 is arranged at the front side of the yielding part 14, and the other end extends to the end of the yielding part 14 close to the surface to be cleaned, and the split convex ridge 7 protrudes away from the yielding part 14.

[0079] Specifically, the split convex ridge 7 is arranged at the front side of the yielding part 14 and close to the bottom surface of the main brush cover 1, and the other end extends to the bottom end of the yielding part 14 along the ridge line of the yielding part 14. The split convex ridge 7 protrudes outward, that is, protrudes away from the ridge line.

[0080] As shown in FIGS. 5 to 12, according to the second embodiment in the embodiments of the present application, the distribution structure includes a distribution piece 2, one end of the distribution piece 2 is connected to the main brush cover 1, and the other end extends towards the surface to be cleaned. By arranging the distribution piece 2, the sundries can also be moved out of the moving path, thereby avoiding the sundries, especially the granular sundries, being stuck between the automatic cleaning device and the surface to be cleaned, and thereby avoiding the automatic cleaning device moving the granular sundries to scratch the surface to be cleaned.

[0081] The distribution piece 2 is arranged at the front side of the moving path of the above-mentioned yielding part 14, that is, in front of the yielding part 14.

[0082] Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 5 to 12, two yielding parts 14 are arranged on the main brush cover, and the distribution piece 2 is arranged in front of the corresponding yielding part 14.

[0083] As shown in FIGS. 5 to 12, the distribution piece 2 includes a first guide section 21 and a second guide section 22, and the first guide section 21 and the second guide section 22 are respectively arranged at an angle with the advancing direction of the automatic cleaning device. The first guide section 21 and the second guide section 22 are connected at an angle to form a split convex ridge 7 at the joint of the first guide section 21 and the second guide section 22.

[0084] By setting the distributing piece 2 to include the first guiding section 21 and the second guiding section 22, and forming the partition protrusion 7 at the joint of the first guiding section 21 and the second guiding section 22, the distributing piece 2 can play a role in distributing the sundries, so that the sundries are more likely to be distributed to both sides.

[0085] The first guiding section 21 and the second guiding section 22 can be flat plate structures, one side of the first guiding section 21 is connected to one side of the second guiding section 22, and the partition protrusion 7 is formed at the joint.

[0086] The plane where the first guiding section 21 is located and the plane where the second guiding section 22 is located are both perpendicular to the surface to be cleaned.

[0087] The angle between the first guiding section 21 and the second guiding section 22 can be an acute angle, a right angle or an obtuse angle. Specifically, in the embodiment, the angle between the first guiding section 21 and the second guiding section 22 is an acute angle.

[0088] The angle between the first guiding section 21 and the second guiding section 22 is towards the direction of travel, i.e. towards the front of the automatic cleaning device. That is, the partition protrusion 7 is towards the front of the automatic cleaning device.

[0089] The first guiding section 21 and the second guiding section 22 are symmetrically arranged about the partition protrusion 7.

[0090] As a feasible example, as shown in FIGS. 5-8, the distributing piece 2 is arranged perpendicular to the surface to be cleaned, which facilitates the connection of the distributing piece 2 to the bottom surface of the main brush cover 1 and has high connection strength.

[0091] The distributing piece 2 is arranged vertically, and the distributing piece 2 is perpendicular to the surface to be cleaned.

[0092] Specifically, the first guiding section 21 and the second guiding section 22 in the distributing piece 2 are both perpendicular to the surface to be cleaned. The partition protrusion 7 extends vertically and is also perpendicular to the surface to be cleaned.

[0093] As another feasible example, as shown in FIGS. 9-12, the end of the distributing piece 2 close to the surface to be cleaned is inclined to the opposite direction of the direction of travel compared to the end away from the surface to be cleaned, which can cause the distributing piece 2 to first contact the large-sized particles, then carry the large-sized particles out of the moving path, and then contact the small-sized particles near the large-sized particles, and then carry the small-sized particles out of the moving path. When the particle size difference of the particles is large and the density of the sundries is large, the particles are carried out of the sundries, the resistance is reduced, and the particles are prevented from being stacked together.

[0094] The one end of the separating member 2 is connected to the bottom surface of the main brush cover 1, and the other end extends towards the surface to be cleaned. The separating member 2 extends in a straight line, but the extending direction of the separating member 2 is not perpendicular to the surface to be cleaned.

[0095] The plane where the first guide section 21 in the separating member 2 is located and the plane where the second guide section 22 is located are perpendicular to the surface to be cleaned, but the first guide section 21 and the second guide section 22 both extend obliquely and are not perpendicular to the surface to be cleaned.

[0096] The separating member 2 is inclined from front to back in the direction from top to bottom.

[0097] Specifically, the one end connected to the main brush cover 1 is defined as the first end, and the one end close to the surface to be cleaned is defined as the second end. The first end is located above and in front of the second end, that is, the first end extends straight to the second end from back to bottom.

[0098] The separating member 2 is made of soft material or hard material. When the separating member 2 is made of soft material, accidental scratches on the surface to be cleaned can be avoided. When the separating member 2 is made of soft material, the separating member 2 can be prevented from driving the particulate matter to move together due to its own deformation, thereby avoiding scratches on the surface to be cleaned caused by the particulate matter.

[0099] Specifically, the separating member 2 is made of soft rubber. Alternatively, the separating member 2 is made of hard material of the same material as the main brush cover 1.

[0100] As shown in FIGS. 13 to 16, according to a third embodiment in the embodiments of the present application, the separating structure includes a plurality of bristles 3, one end of the bristle 3 is connected to the main brush cover 1, and the other end extends towards the surface to be cleaned, the plurality of bristles 3 forms at least one bristle group, the bristles 3 in the same bristle group are parallel to each other and arranged in a row, and the bristle group is arranged at an angle to the moving direction of the automatic cleaning device. By arranging the bristles 3 and forming a bristle group, the debris can also be moved out of the moving path, thereby avoiding the debris, especially the particulate debris, from being stuck between the automatic cleaning device and the surface to be cleaned, and thereby avoiding scratches on the surface to be cleaned caused by the automatic cleaning device driving the particulate debris to move.

[0101] The bristle 3 is made of soft material.

[0102] The main brush cover includes at least two bristle groups, and the at least two bristle groups are arranged at an angle to form a dividing convex ridge 7 at the sharp corner.

[0103] The at least two bristle groups arranged at an angle means that, in the transverse direction of the automatic cleaning device, the bristles 3 in the middle serve as a sharp corner, the bristles 3 on both sides are arranged obliquely to the back, and all the bristles 3 form an angle as a whole.

[0104] The angle formed by the group of hairs can be an acute angle, a right angle or an obtuse angle. Specifically, the angle formed by the group of hairs in this embodiment is an acute angle.

[0105] The tip of the angle formed by the group of hairs is directed towards the direction of travel, i.e. towards the front of the automatic cleaning device.

[0106] The hair 3 at the tip of the angle formed is a split ridge 7. If there is more than one hair 3 at the tip of the angle formed, all the hairs 3 at the tip are split ridges 7.

[0107] The group of hairs is arranged on the front side of the movement path of the aforementioned yielding portion 14, i.e. in front of the yielding portion 14.

[0108] The main brush cover 1 comprises at least two yielding portions 14, and the group of hairs is arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the yielding portions 14.

[0109] The hair 3 is arranged at an angle to the surface to be cleaned, and the end of the hair 3 close to the surface to be cleaned is inclined in the opposite direction to the direction of travel compared to the end away from the surface to be cleaned.

[0110] A gap is provided between the sorting structure and the surface to be cleaned, so that particles with a smaller size pass through the gap without being caught between the main brush cover 1 and the surface to be cleaned, and do not have to be driven by the sorting structure, the sorting piece 2 and the hair 3 out of the movement path, thereby avoiding unnecessary work and also avoiding scratching the surface to be cleaned.

[0111] The size of the gap between the sorting structure, the sorting piece 2 and the hair 3 and the surface to be cleaned can be set according to actual conditions. For example, it can be 5mm, 7mm, etc.

[0112] The main brush cover 1 comprises a main brush opening 13 for accommodating the main brush 4, and at least a part of the sorting structure extends towards the main brush opening 13 to guide debris to the main brush opening 13, so that particles can enter the main brush opening 13 and then be removed by the automatic cleaning device under the action of the main brush 4 and the suction component, thereby improving the cleaning quality.

[0113] At least a part of the sorting structure extends towards the main brush opening 13 to guide debris to the main brush opening 13.

[0114] At least a part of the sorting piece 2 extends towards the main brush opening 13 to guide debris to the main brush opening 13.

[0115] At least one group of hairs extends towards the main brush opening 13 to guide debris to the main brush opening 13.

[0116] As shown in FIG. 17 and FIG. 18, the main brush cover 1 is used to cover the outer side of the main brush 4, both ends of the main brush 4 are respectively provided with a main brush end cover 6, and the main brush cover 1 is provided with a hair blocking piece 5, which is arranged at the front side of the main brush end cover 6 along the direction of travel.

[0117] By arranging the hair blocking piece 5 and locating the hair blocking piece 5 at the front side of the main brush end cover 6 along the direction of travel, the hair in the direction of travel can be blocked when the automatic cleaning equipment is working and moving, so as to avoid the hair being rolled into the main brush end cover 6, thereby preventing the hair from winding around the main brush end cover 6.

[0118] In this embodiment, the hair blocking piece 5 is made of a flexible material.

[0119] In this embodiment, the hair blocking piece 5 is fixed on the main brush cover 1 by adhesion or fastening, and the main brush cover 1 is installed on the floating support.

[0120] Specifically, the hair blocking piece 5 is fixed on the bottom surface of the main brush cover 1 and located in front of the main brush end cover 6.

[0121] Specifically, the hair blocking piece 5 is arranged one by one with the main brush end cover 6. In this embodiment, the number of the main brush end cover 6 is two, and the number of the hair blocking piece 5 is also two.
