Abstract

A cleaning wheel structure, which mainly comprises a cleaning unit, a universal joint and an elastic element, wherein the cleaning unit comprises a plurality of clamping jaws disposed around the circumference of the shaft thereof, and each of the clamping jaws has a positioning groove, the universal joint is disposed between the plurality of clamping jaws, the elastic element is disposed between the universal joint and the cleaning unit, wherein the outer surface of the universal joint is convexly provided with a positioning portion for embedding with the positioning grooves, with the above structure, when the cleaning unit is stuck and cannot be driven to rotate by the universal joint, the positioning portion repeatedly pushes each of clamping jaws outwardly to rotate and to be embedded in the next positioning groove, so that the universal joint no longer drives the cleaning unit.

Claims (11)

1. A cleaning wheel structure comprising:

a cleaning unit, wherein the cleaning unit comprises a plurality of clamping jaws disposed around the circumference of a shaft of an upper surface thereof, and each of the clamping jaws has a positioning groove;

a universal joint, wherein the universal joint comprises a main body and a docking portion, the docking portion is disposed on a top surface of the main body, the main body is engaged between the plurality of the clamping jaws, and the bottom of the main body has a positioning hole concavely disposed in the main body, and a circumference of the main body is convexly provided with a plurality of positioning portions corresponding to the positioning grooves; and

an elastic element disposed between the positioning hole of the universal joint and the shaft of the upper surface of the cleaning unit.

2. The cleaning wheel structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a top surface of the elastic element is abutted against the surface of the upper edge of the positioning hole, and a bottom surface of the elastic element is abutted against the shaft of the upper surface of the cleaning unit.

3. The cleaning wheel structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the main body comprises a circumference having an arc-shaped surface, and the plurality of positioning portions is extended from the circumference of the main body along a curved surface toward the bottom of the main body.

4. The cleaning wheel structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the main body of the universal joint is concavely disposed with a plurality of concave portions at the circumference of the bottom surface corresponding to the positioning portion.

5. The cleaning wheel structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the cleaning unit is a cleaning brush or a rotating disc.

6. The cleaning wheel structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the shaft of the upper surface of the cleaning unit is provided with an arc for the elastic element to be sleeved thereon.

7. The cleaning wheel structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a central position of the top surface of the universal joint is provided with a convex portion for the elastic element to be sleeved thereon.

8. The cleaning wheel structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the elastic element is a spring or an elastic telescopic sleeve.
