The invention relates to the field of floor cleaning equipment, in particular to a push-pull connection mechanism for a floor cleaning machine and a floor cleaning machine.
The floor cleaning machine is a kind of cleaning machinery suitable for cleaning hard floors while sucking up sewage and taking the sewage away from the site, which has the advantages of environmental protection, energy saving and high efficiency.
The walk-behind floor cleaning machine mainly includes a machine body and a machine head with driving force. The machine body is connected with the machine head below through a connection structure, and the existing connection structure is large at the angle between the machine body and the horizontal plane when controlling the moving direction of the machine head, which leads to the machine body being easy to collide with other objects when cleaning areas such as below the low cabinet.
In view of the above-mentioned problem, the invention provides a push-pull connection mechanism for a floor cleaning machine, and a floor cleaning machine.
The technical solution adopted by the invention is as follows:

The machine body is connected to the machine head by means of the push-pull connection mechanism; during practical operation, the angle formed between the machine body and a horizontal plane (floor) may be relatively small, and during the cleaning of areas such as below the low cabinet, the machine body is less likely to collide with other objects. The rotation axis of the first connecting member of the push-pull connection mechanism is parallel to the rotation axis of the rotating member, i.e., eccentric arrangement is performed, so that an operator can control the machine head to move in different directions by applying forward, backward, leftward, and rightward force to the machine body. Specifically, the machine head can actively move through a driving structure, and when a force is applied to the first connecting member through the machine body, when the force does not pass through the axis of the rotating member, a bias torque can be generated, so that the machine head can be controlled to rotate accordingly.

In one embodiment of the invention, the push-pull connection mechanism further includes:
At least part of the structure of the rotating member is positioned between the protective member and the positioning shaft, and the protective member can protect or limit the rotating member to ensure the reliable and stable work of the rotating member.

In one embodiment of the invention, the rotation axis of the second connecting member is arranged horizontally; the machine body has a plurality of working positions, and when at different working positions, the angles between the machine body and the floor are different, and the limiting part of the limiting member is clamped into different positioning grooves.
