The present disclosure claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202120794463.5, filed Apr. 16, 2021, which is hereby incorporated by reference herein as if set forth in its entirety.
The present disclosure relates to the field of dust collector accessories, and particularly to an adjusting structure of a floor brush wheel.
A dust collector is usually used to clean floors and carpets and includes a main machine and a floor brush. When a floor is cleaned, a friction force between the floor brush and the floor is very small, and a user can easily drag the floor brush to clean. When a carpet is cleaned, particularly for some carpets with greater thickness, a friction force between the floor brush and the carpet is very large, such that the user is difficult to drag the floor brush to clean. In order to reduce the friction force between the floor brush and the carpet, the conventional floor brush is additionally provided with wheels at a bottom thereof, a friction force between the floor brush and the carpet and an air tightness between an air inlet of the floor brush and the carpet are reduced through the wheels, so that the floor brush has a good cleaning effect on the carpet. Due to the unable adjustment of height of the wheels, in order to make the floor brush after being additionally provided with the wheels keep the same clean ability to the floor, the wheels cannot protrude too much from the bottom of the floor brush, otherwise a gap between the floor brush and the floor will increase, resulting in the decrease of the suction force of the floor brush to the floor and poor cleaning effect. The wheels cannot protrude too much from the bottom of the floor brush, as a result, for some carpets with greater thickness, the friction force and the air tightness between the floor brush provided with the wheel and the carpet are still very large, the user is difficult to drag the floor brush to clean, and the cleaning effect is very poor.
In order to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in this embodiment disclosure, the drawings used in the embodiments or the description of the prior art will be briefly introduced below. It should be understood that, the drawings in the following description are only examples of the present disclosure. For those skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative works.

It should be understood that, the embodiments described herein are only for explaining the present disclosure and are not intended to limit the present disclosure.
