Floor cleaner and water channel
The disclosure provides a water channel assembly including a channel shell and a filtering piece. The water channel is disposed on the surface of a cleaning roller in a seal and overturn mode so that the cleaning roller is washed by water flowing in the water channel. The filtering piece is laid in the water channel and faces the surface of the cleaning roller. As a result, the solid trash on the cleaning roller is filtered by the filter element and cannot enter the water channel, thus preventing the blockage of the waterway of the water supply system.
1. A fluid channel assembly of a floor cleaner, the fluid channel assembly comprising:
a shell defining a channel;
a filter disposed in a pathway between the channel and a cleaning roller assembly;
a seal element disposed on a first side of the channel; and
a fluid-squeezing member disposed on a second side of the channel, wherein:
the second side of the channel is diametrically opposite the first side of the channel, and
the filter is disposed between the seal element and the fluid-squeezing member.
2. The fluid channel assembly of claim 1 , wherein the seal element and the fluid-squeezing member contact a surface of the cleaning roller assembly to form a seal fitting.
3. The fluid channel assembly of claim 1 , wherein:
the fluid-squeezing member is made of hard material, and
a wall of the fluid-squeezing member contacting the cleaning roller assembly is arc-shaped.
4. The fluid channel assembly of claim 1 , wherein:
the filter is a filtering screen, and
a first end of the filtering screen contacts the seal element and a second end of the filtering screen contacts the fluid-squeezing member.
5. The fluid channel assembly of claim 1 , wherein a first end of the shell defining the channel is coupled to a first fluid tank and a second end of the shell defining the channel is coupled to a second fluid tank.
6. A floor cleaner, comprising:
a cleaning roller assembly comprising a cleaning roller configured to rotate about an axis; and
a fluid channel assembly comprising:
a shell defining a channel;
a filter disposed in a pathway between the channel and the cleaning roller;
a seal element disposed on a first side of the channel; and
a fluid-squeezing member disposed on a second side of the channel, wherein:
the second side of the channel is diametrically opposite the first side of the channel, and
the filter is disposed between the seal element and the fluid-squeezing member.
7. The floor cleaner of claim 6 , wherein the channel extends in a first direction parallel to the axis.
8. The floor cleaner of claim 6 , comprising:
a trash bin, wherein the seal element is disposed between the fluid-squeezing member and the trash bin in a direction of rotation of the cleaning roller.
9. The floor cleaner of claim 6 , comprising:
a scraper having an arc-shaped surface facing the cleaning roller; and
a clearing component configured to clear the cleaning roller, wherein the clearing component is disposed in an opening between the scraper and the seal element.
10. The floor cleaner of claim 6 , wherein the cleaning roller comprises:
an outer layer having a first material composition; and
an inner layer having a second material composition, wherein a first end of the outer layer has a tapered surface and a first end of the inner layer has a tapered surface.
11. The floor cleaner of claim 10 , wherein the tapered surface of the outer layer and the tapered surface of the inner layer are co-planar.
12. The floor cleaner of claim 10 , wherein:
the inner layer is made of non-absorbent sponge, and
the outer layer is made of absorbent sponge.
13. The floor cleaner of claim 6 , wherein:
the cleaning roller assembly comprises a motor and a sleeve barrel, and
the sleeve barrel is sleeved on the motor.
14. The floor cleaner of claim 13 , wherein the sleeve barrel and the cleaning roller are driven by the motor to rotate about the axis.
15. The floor cleaner of claim 6 , comprising:
a fluid tank coupled to the shell defining the channel and comprising:
a splash-proof member configured to separate the fluid tank into a buffer chamber and an accommodation chamber, wherein:
the fluid tank defines a first opening,
the splash-proof member is disposed between the first opening and the accommodation chamber,
the splash-proof member defines a first vent and a second vent, and
the buffer chamber is disposed between the first vent and the second vent.
16. The floor cleaner of claim 15 , wherein the first vent provides for gas to flow in a first direction and the first opening provides for the gas to flow in a second direction different than the first direction.
17. A floor cleaner, comprising:
a cleaning roller assembly;
a seal element configured to contact the cleaning roller assembly;
a fluid-squeezing member configured to contact the cleaning roller assembly; and
a filter disposed between the seal element and the fluid-squeezing member, wherein the fluid-squeezing member, the seal element, and the cleaning roller assembly create a seal fitting for containing fluid in a space between the seal element and the fluid-squeezing member.
18. The floor cleaner of claim 17 , comprising a shell defining a channel, wherein the filter is disposed in a pathway between the channel and the cleaning roller assembly.
19. The floor cleaner of claim 17 , wherein:
the cleaning roller assembly comprises a cleaning roller, and
the cleaning roller comprises an outer layer having a first material composition and an inner layer having a second material composition.
20. The floor cleaner of claim 19 , wherein a first end of the outer layer has a tapered surface and a first end of the inner layer has a tapered surface.
