The present application relates to the technical field of household appliances. More specifically, the present application relates to forward and reverse cleaning brush with water spraying function.
In daily life, people often use brushes to scrub various objects, which can make the cleaning process faster and more effective. However, traditional brushes are typically manually operated, requiring users to hold the brush and move it back and forth quickly across the surface. Prolonged use of these brushes can lead to hand fatigue, making them inconvenient for extended cleaning tasks.
To address this issue, electric cleaning brushes have emerged on the market. For example, patent number CN202420602001.2 describes an electric cleaning brush that includes a motor, an inner wheel brush head driven by the motor, and an outer wheel brush head that fits over the inner wheel brush head. The outer brush head is also powered by the motor's output shaft. A transmission assembly connects one of the brush heads to the motor's output shaft, allowing the inner and outer brush heads to rotate in opposite directions. This design enables the motor to do the work of brushing, reducing the need for back-and-forth hand movements, which in turn eases strain on the hands.
Despite these advancements, existing electric cleaning brushes still face challenges. Most cleaning tasks require spraying water onto the area being cleaned before using the electric brush, which often necessitates manual water spraying to minimize dust—this can be cumbersome.
Therefore, there is a need to develop a forward and reverse cleaning brush that incorporates a built-in water spraying function to address these issues more efficiently.
The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the defects of the above-mentioned technology and provide a forward and reverse cleaning brush with water spraying function.
