The hinged end of the bearing hinge 51 is connected to the second motor 54 via the hinge rod 52. The length of the brush roller 53 is smaller than that of the debris hopper 6. The bearing hinge 51 is mainly used for both vertical and horizontal support and positioning, and can be positioned autonomously after rotation, so that the angle of the brush roll 53 can be adjusted. By energizing the second motor 54, the brush roller 53 can be driven so as to collect large garbage on the ground and recycle them into the debris hopper 6.

Working Principle

When using the appliance, the operator first rotate the brush roller 53 to make it perpendicular to the ground, then through the articulation of the control rod 1 and the brush plate 2, adjust the control rod 1 so that it can be held by hands, in order to realize the cleaning work of the ground. With the power supply of the battery set 7, the second motor 54 and the first motor 41 are driven simultaneously, the second motor 54 further drives the brush roller 53 so that it is able to recycle large garbage on the ground into the debris hopper 6. Furthermore, through the rotation of the brush plate 43, the appliance is able to remove stubborn stains on the ground. Simultaneously, the incorporation of the spray device will further improve the cleaning effects. The device collects the sewage through the first strip 32 and the second strip 33, and through the operation of the suction motor, together with the duct and the plastic rake 31, it realizes the adsorption and collection of the sewage, thus realizing high-efficiency cleaning of the ground.
