[0029] With reference to the drawings and specific embodiments, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described clearly and completely. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the scope of the present disclosure.

[0030] In addition, the present disclosure can repeatedly refer to numbers and / or letters in different examples, and such repetition is for the purpose of simplification and clarity, and does not indicate the relationship between the various embodiments and / or settings discussed. In addition, the present disclosure provides examples of various specific processes and materials, but those of ordinary skill in the art can realize the application of other processes and / or the use of other materials.

[0031] The cleaning device uses the brush to sweep the dust, dirt and debris on the operating surface to the dust suction port, and the dust suction component sucks the impurities into the dust collection box or bag. During the operation of the brush, the damp impurities are easily attached to the brush bin, which is difficult to clean. For example, in the case of back-to-nature or residual water on the ground, dust, dirt and debris are easily damp, and dust, dirt and debris are easily attached to the inside of the brush bin of the sweeping robot after mixing with water; with the passage of time, the garbage attached to the inside of the brush bin gradually increases, which easily blocks the dust suction port, affects the normal cleaning of the sweeping robot, and needs to be cleaned regularly by the user.

[0032] The present disclosure will be described below in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments:

[0033] Please refer to FIGS. 1-2, some embodiments of the present disclosure provide a brush bin 100, which is suitable for installing a brush 400; the inside of the brush bin 100 is provided with a mounting cavity 130 of the brush 400; the inner wall of the mounting cavity 130 at least partially forms an anti-sticking wall 111, which is suitable for preventing impurities from sticking.

[0034] The inner wall of the mounting cavity 130 at least partially forms an anti-sticking wall 111, which is suitable for preventing impurities from sticking; by providing the anti-sticking wall 111, the risk of impurities sticking to the inner wall of the mounting cavity 130 is reduced, thereby reducing the amount of impurities remaining on the inner wall of the brush bin 100 and avoiding the blockage of the dust suction port.

[0035] The inner wall of the installation cavity 130 at least partially forms the anti-sticking wall 111; the inner wall of the installation cavity 130 can be partially formed into the anti-sticking wall 111, and the anti-sticking performance of the anti-sticking wall 111 is used to reduce the amount of impurities remaining on the inner wall of the installation cavity 130; the anti-sticking wall 111 can be arranged at a position on the inner wall of the installation cavity 130 where impurities are prone to adhere; for example, the anti-sticking wall 111 can be arranged on the side close to the blade of the brush piece 400 to reduce the probability of impurities thrown out by the blade adhering directly to the inner wall of the installation cavity 130; generally, a dustproof port 120 is arranged on the brush bin 100, and the dust suction port communicates with the installation cavity 130; the dust suction component sucks the impurities swept up by the brush piece 400 into the dust collection component 300 through the dust suction port; the anti-sticking wall 111 can also be arranged on the periphery of the dustproof port 120 to avoid blocking the dustproof port 120 due to the adhesion of impurities on the periphery of the dustproof port 120; generally, the dust collection component 300 is a dust collection box or a dust collection bag, and the dust suction component generally includes a motor, a fan and other parts to suck impurities into the dust collection component 300 by driving air flow. The inner wall of the installation cavity 130 can be entirely formed into the anti-sticking wall 111 to avoid impurities adhering to the inner wall of the installation cavity 130, thereby minimizing the amount of impurities remaining on the inner wall of the brush bin 100 and improving the recovery rate of impurities.

[0036] By arranging the anti-sticking wall 111, the residence time of dust and other impurities inside the brush bin 100 can be reduced, and the impurities adhering to the inner wall of the installation cavity 130 can be avoided to affect the normal operation of the brush piece 400; the impurities cannot adhere to the anti-sticking wall 111, which is conducive to keeping the inside of the brush bin 100 clean and hygienic, reducing maintenance costs and improving the user experience.

[0037] The anti-sticking wall 111 can reduce the friction coefficient of its surface to achieve the effect of preventing impurities from sticking. A small friction coefficient, i.e., a smooth surface of the anti-sticking wall 111, makes the sliding of dust and other impurities on the anti-sticking wall 111 more smooth, avoiding sticking to the anti-sticking wall 111 and facilitating the dust suction component to suck the impurities into the dust collection component 300.

[0038] The brush piece 400 can be partially installed inside the installation cavity 130, and the part of the brush piece 400 extending out of the installation cavity 130 can clean the working surface such as a wall, a floor, a glass, a table top or an outer facade of a building. The brush piece 400 can also be entirely located inside the installation cavity 130, and the brush piece 400 extends out of the installation cavity 130 to work when working; the embodiments of the present disclosure do not make special limitations thereon.

[0039] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 2, the brush bin 100 includes a film layer 110 having a connecting surface coupled to the inner wall of the installation cavity 130; the film layer 110 forms the anti-sticking wall 111 on the side opposite to the connecting surface.

[0040] The film layer 110 is fixed on the inner wall of the mounting cavity 130 through the connecting surface. Since the anti-adhesion wall 111 is located on the side opposite to the connecting surface, the anti-adhesion wall 111 is formed on the inner wall of the brush cartridge 100, so as to reduce the amount of impurities remaining inside the mounting cavity 130. By forming the anti-adhesion wall 111 on the inner wall of the mounting cavity 130 through the film layer 110, the inner wall of the mounting cavity 130 can be avoided to be directly processed, and the processing difficulty is reduced.

[0041] In some embodiments, the film layer 110 is at least one of a UV layer, Teflon or Parylene. Through the material properties of the UV layer, Teflon or Parylene, the smoothness of the surface of the inner wall of the mounting cavity 130 is improved, and the risk of dust and other impurities adhering to the inner wall of the mounting cavity 130 is reduced.

[0042] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 2, the film layer 110 is attached to the inner wall of the mounting cavity 130. By means of attachment, the connecting surface of the film layer 110 can be tightly attached to the inner wall of the mounting cavity 130, reducing the risk of the film layer 110 falling off.

[0043] In some embodiments, the film layer 110 is a coating sprayed on the inner wall of the mounting cavity 130. Through the spraying method, the coating can be quickly and uniformly formed on the inner wall of the mounting cavity 130, improving the processing speed; using the spraying method is conducive to targeted spraying processing of the corner positions of the inner wall of the mounting cavity 130, reducing the risk of dust and other impurities remaining in the corner positions of the inner wall of the mounting cavity 130. In addition, during the spraying process, the flowability of the spraying liquid is strong, which can block the micropores on the surface of the inner wall of the mounting cavity 130, avoiding the entry of dust and other impurities into the micropores on the surface of the inner wall of the mounting cavity 130 to cause cleaning difficulties. For example, the UV layer, Teflon or Parylene coating is sprayed on the surface of the plastic brush cartridge 100. The coating can seal the micropores on the surface of the inner wall of the plastic brush cartridge 100, fill the intermolecular gaps on the plastic surface, reduce the surface friction coefficient of the inner wall of the mounting cavity 130, and make it difficult for dust and other impurities to adhere to the inner wall of the mounting cavity 130.

[0044] In some embodiments, the brush cartridge 100 is made of plastic or metal. Plastic or metal has high strength and rigidity, which can provide good structural support and ensure the stability and durability of the brush cartridge 100. Secondly, plastic or metal has relatively good corrosion resistance, which improves the service life of the brush cartridge 100.

[0045] In some embodiments, the brush cartridge 100 is a metal brush cartridge 100, and the anti-adhesion wall 111 is a polished wall. The polished wall is formed on the inner wall of the mounting cavity 130 by polishing processing, so as to reduce the amount of dust and other impurities remaining inside the mounting cavity 130. The metal plate can be polished on one side in advance, and then the metal plate is processed into a metal brush cartridge 100 through stamping or welding, so that the inner wall of the metal brush cartridge 100 has a polished wall.

[0046] Referring to FIG. 3, some embodiments of the present disclosure provide a cleaning device, which comprises the brush bin 100 described above, and the brush piece 400 is arranged in the interior of the brush bin 100.

[0050] The impurities can be led out of the brush bin 100 through the dust suction pipeline 200; and the inner wall of the dust suction pipeline 200 at least partially forms the anti-sticking wall 111, which can prevent the impurities from adhering to the inner wall of the dust suction pipeline 200 and reduce the risk of clogging of the dust suction pipeline 200. The dust suction pipeline 200 can have all the inner walls forming the anti-sticking wall 111, so that the dust and other impurities can smoothly pass through the dust suction pipeline 200; or the dust suction pipeline 200 can have part of the inner walls forming the anti-sticking wall 111, so as to reduce the residual amount of impurities in the dust suction pipeline 200.

[0051] In some embodiments, the outer surface (including the blades) of the brush piece 400 shown in FIG. 3 is at least partially an anti-sticking surface, which can prevent the dust and other impurities from adhering to the surface of the brush piece 400, improve the cleaning effect of the brush piece 400, and avoid the impurities adhering to the surface of the brush piece 400 from falling on the surface to be cleaned, causing pollution. A UV layer, a Teflon layer, or a Perlast layer, etc. can be sprayed on the surface of the brush piece 400 to improve the smoothness of the surface of the brush piece 400 and reduce the residual amount of dust and other impurities on the brush piece 400.
