It should be noted that, in other embodiments, the rolling brush assembly may also be used for a dust collector having a floor brush assembly, i.e.: the rolling brush assembly is arranged on the floor brush assembly of the dust collector, and related contents are not described again.

Next, referring to the drawings, various embodiments of the rolling brush assembly of the present disclosure will be described, such as Embodiments 1 to 6, and the rolling brush assembly in each of the following embodiments can be applied to the dust collector as described above.

Embodiment 1

Referring to FIGS. 1 to 3, a rolling brush assembly 100 according to Embodiment 1 of the present disclosure will be described. The rolling brush assembly 100 is arranged lengthwise and includes a rolling brush and a tooth mechanism matched with the rolling brush.

The rolling brush extends lengthwise along an axis V1, and includes a rolling brush roller 111, brush bars 113 mounted on the rolling brush roller 111, and supporting bars 112 mounted on the rolling brush roller 111.

The rolling brush roller 111 is substantially a longitudinal cylinder with the axis V1 as the central axis, is rotatably connected to the machine body, and is driven by the motor to rotate around the axis V1, thereby driving the rolling brush to rotate integrally.

Specifically, the rolling brush roller 111 specifically includes an inner roller 1112 sleeved outside the central rotating shaft 10 and an outer roller 1113 fixedly wrapped outside the inner roller 1112. The central rotating shaft 10 is connected with the driving shaft of the motor; the inner roller 1112 is generally configured as a rigid member, and is used for supporting the outer roller 1113 to avoid large bending deformation of the outer roller 1113 under the action of an external force, so as to ensure that the configuration of the rolling brush is stable; the outer circumferential surface of the outer roller 1113 constitutes the outer circumferential surface of the rolling brush roller 111, and the outer roller 1113 serves to fixedly support the brush bars 113 and the supporting bars 112.

The brush bars 113 are used for contacting the surface to be cleaned when the rolling brush is rotated, so as to sweep the surface to be cleaned, and the number of the brush bars is set to be at least two, and these brush bars 113 are arranged at uniform intervals along the circumferential direction of the rolling brush roller 111 (i.e., the circumferential direction of the axis V1). In the present embodiment, the number of the brush bars 113 is set to be two, and the two brush bars 113 are arranged oppositely along the circumferential direction of the rolling brush roller 111, and referring to FIG. 3, in the cross-section of the rolling brush assembly 100, the two brush bars 113 are symmetrically distributed at substantially 180° around the axis V1.

Furthermore, the bristles of the brush bars 113 may be any one or a combination of soft bristles and hard bristles in terms of hardness, may be any one or a combination of nylon 6, nylon 6/6, sponge, plant fiber, synthetic fiber, plastic, bristle and the like in terms of material, may be any one or a combination of a bundle, a piece of cloth, a line, a felt, a nap, a pile and the like in terms of density/shape, and may be any one or a combination of a flocking and a bristle bar in terms of load. In the present embodiment, the two brush bush bars 113 are provided identically, and are provided as bristle bars whose bristles are preferably in the form of felt, lines or piles, which are suitable for floor-type smooth surfaces to be cleaned.

In addition, the outer roller 1113 has a first groove recessedly provided in its outer circumferential surface, which is preferably configured as a T-groove, and extends along one longitudinal end of the rolling brush roller 111 to the other longitudinal end of the rolling brush roller 111. Correspondingly, the inner end of each brush bar 113 close to the axis V1 is configured to be shape-fitted with the first groove, and can be engaged in the first groove, so as to realize the detachable installation of the brush bar 113 on the rolling brush roller 111, for example, the brush bar 113 can be inserted into the first groove from one longitudinal end of the rolling brush roller 111, so as to realize the detachable installation of the brush bar 113. Of course, the shape of the first groove, the manner of mounting the brush bar 113, and the like are not limited thereto.

Furthermore, each brush bar 113 is provided as an elongated member extending in the longitudinal direction of the rolling brush roller 111, the longitudinal extension direction of which may be parallel to the axis V1 or may extend curvedly in a single spiral direction about the axis V1 as shown in the drawing, one longitudinal end of which is disposed at one longitudinal end of the outer roller 1113 and the other longitudinal end of which is disposed at the other longitudinal end of the outer roller 1113, that is, each brush bar 113 extends from one longitudinal end to the other longitudinal end of the outer roller 1113. Of course, in a modified embodiment, each brush bar 113 may also include two segments extending in opposite spiral directions on the outer circumferential surface of the rolling brush roller 111, that is, each brush bar 113 has a V-shape.

The supporting bars 112 are arranged between two adjacent brush bars 113. The supporting bars 112 may be soft rubber bars, especially plate-shaped soft rubber bars. In the present embodiment, the distance from the outer end of the brush bar 113 facing away from the rolling brush roller 111 to the axis V1 is d1, the distance from the outer end of the supporting bar 112 facing away from the rolling brush roller 111 to the axis V1 is D1, and the distance D1 is greater than the distance d1, i.e., the outer end of the supporting bar 112 is farther away from the axis V1 than the outer end of the brush bar 113. Then, when the rolling brush is applied to clean the surface to be cleaned, it is not only conducive to improving the cleaning effect, but also conducive to separating the hairs from the rolling brush under the supporting of the supporting bars 112, so as to avoid the hairs adhering to the brush bars 113 and are preferentially supported by the support bars 112, thereby avoiding the rolling brush being entangled because the hairs are tightly wound on the rolling brush roller 111, ensuring the surface clean and the normal rotation of the rolling brush.

Furthermore, between any two adjacent brush bars 113 is provided with a supporting bar 112, so that the supporting effect of the supporting bars 112 can be enhanced, the hairs are suspended above the brush bars 113 between the two supporting bars 112 due to the supporting of the two supporting bars 112, thereby reducing the contact probability of the hairs and the brush bars 113, avoiding the rolling brush being entangled because the hairs are tightly wound on the rolling brush roller 111, and ensuring the surface clean and the normal rotation of the rolling brush.

Preferably, between any two adjacent brush bars 113 is provided with two supporting bars 112, in the present embodiment, the number of the brush bars 113 is set to be two, and the number of the supporting bars 112 is set to be four.

In the present embodiment, the outer roller 1113 has a second groove recessedly provided in its outer circumferential surface, which is preferably configured as a T-groove, and extends along one longitudinal end of the rolling brush roller 111 to the other longitudinal end of the rolling brush roller 111. Correspondingly, the inner end of the supporting bar 112 close to the axis V1 is configured to be shape-fitted with the second groove, and can be clamped in the second groove, so that the supporting bar 112 can be detachably mounted on the rolling brush roller 111, for example, the supporting bar 112 can be inserted into the first groove from one longitudinal end of the rolling brush roller 111, so as to realize the detachable mount of the supporting bar 112. Of course, the shape of the second groove, the installation manner of the supporting bar 112, and the like are not limited thereto; in addition, in a modified embodiment, the supporting bar may be integrally formed to protrude on the outer circumferential surface of the rolling brush roller 111 (specifically, the outer circumferential surface of the outer roller 1113).

Furthermore, each supporting bar 112 is provided as a longitudinal member extending in the longitudinal direction of the rolling brush roller 111, the longitudinal extension direction of which may be parallel to the axis V1 or may extend curvedly in a single spiral direction about the axis V1 as shown in the drawing, and the longitudinal end of which is disposed at the longitudinal end of the outer roller 1113 and the other longitudinal end of which is disposed at the other longitudinal end of the outer roller 1113, that is, each supporting bar 112 extends from the longitudinal end to the other longitudinal end of the outer roller 1113. Of course, in a modified embodiment, each supporting bar 112 may also include two segments extending in opposite spiral directions on the outer circumferential surface of the rolling brush roller 111, that is, each supporting bar 112 has a V-shape.

Preferably, the supporting bar 112 and the brush bar 113 adjacent to the supporting bar 112 have longitudinal extension directions parallel to each other. That is, on the outer circumferential surface of the outer roller 1113, the first grooves and the second grooves adjacent to the first grooves have longitudinal extension directions parallel to each other.

The tooth mechanism extends lengthwise approximately parallel to the axis V1 and includes a supporting rod 121 and a plurality of teeth 122. Illustratively, the teeth 122 may be configured as comb teeth, and may also be configured as saw teeth. The supporting rod 121 can be fixedly assembled on the machine body, so that the whole gear mechanism is mounted on the machine body. These teeth 122 are arranged in sequence along the longitudinal direction of the tooth mechanism, each tooth 122 projecting beyond the supporting rod 121 and extending to approach the rolling brush, and the extending ends of the teeth 122 being spaced from the axis V1 by a distance L1. The distance L1 is less than the distance D1, that is, the extending ends of the teeth 122 can contact the supporting bars 112, so that the extending ends of the teeth 122 can contact the hairs on the supporting bars 112, thereby breaking the hairs attached to the supporting bars 112 to further facilitate the hairs to be separated from the rolling brush, and prevent the rolling brush from being entangled due to the hairs tightly entangled on the rolling brush roller 111.

Preferably, the distance L1 is further less than the distance d1, that is, the extending end of the teeth 122 can contact not only the supporting bars 112 but also the brush bars 113, so that if the hairs pass over the supporting bars 112 and contact the brush bars 113 due to rotation, the teeth 122 can scrape off or break the hairs attached to the brush bars 113 by contacting the brush bar 113, so as to further facilitate the hairs to be separated from the rolling brush, avoid the rolling brush from being entangled due to the hairs tightly wound on the rolling brush roller 111, and ensure the surface clean and the normal rotation of the rolling brush.

To sum up, compared with the prior art, the beneficial effect of the present embodiment is: under the supporting action of the supporting bars 112, the hairs are prevented from being attached to the brush bars 113 and are preferentially supported by the supporting bars 112, so as to facilitate the hairs to be separated from the rolling brush; the hairs attached to the supporting bars 112 are further broken by the extending ends of the teeth 122, so as to further facilitate the hairs to be separated from the rolling brush, so that the rolling brush is prevented from being entangled because the hairs are tightly wound on the rolling brush roller 111, and the surface clean and the normal rotation of the rolling brush are ensured.

Each supporting bar 212 extends lengthwise in the longitudinal direction of the rolling brush roller 211, the longitudinal extension direction of which may be parallel to the axis V2 or may extend curvedly in a single spiral direction about the axis V2 as shown in the drawing, one longitudinal end of which is disposed at one longitudinal end of the outer roller 2113 and the other longitudinal end of which is disposed at the other longitudinal end of the outer roller 2113, that is, each supporting bar 212 extends from one longitudinal end to the other longitudinal end of the outer roller 2113. Of course, in a modified embodiment, each supporting bar 212 may also include two segments extending in opposite spiral directions on the outer circumferential surface of the rolling brush roller 111, that is, each supporting bar 212 has a V-shape.

The outer roller 2113 has a second groove recessedly provided in its outer circumferential surface, which is preferably configured as a T-groove, and extends along one longitudinal end of the rolling brush roller 211 to the other longitudinal end of the rolling brush roller 211. Correspondingly, the inner end of the supporting bar 212 close to the axis V2 is configured to be shape-fitted with the second groove, and can be clamped in the second groove, so that the supporting bar 212 can be detachably mounted on the rolling brush roller 211, for example, the supporting bar 212 can be inserted into the first groove from one longitudinal end of the rolling brush roller 211, so as to realize the detachable mount of the supporting bar 212. Of course, the shape of the second groove, the installation manner of the supporting bar 212, and the like are not limited thereto; in addition, in a modified embodiment, the supporting bar 212 may be integrally formed to protrude on the outer circumferential surface of the rolling brush roller 211 (specifically, the outer circumferential surface of the outer roller 2113).

Furthermore, the arrangement relationship of the supporting bars 212, the bristle bars 213 and the flocking bundle groups 214 is set as follows: between any supporting bar 212 and any flocking group 214 adjacent to the supporting bar is provided one bristle bar 213; in addition, the longitudinal extension directions of the supporting bars 212, the bristle bars 213 and the flocking bundle group 214 are parallel.

The tooth mechanism extends lengthwise approximately parallel to the axis V2 and includes a supporting rod 221 and a plurality of teeth 222, wherein the supporting rod 221 may be fixedly assembled to the machine body, so that the entire gear mechanism is mounted on the machine body. These teeth 122 are arranged in sequence along the longitudinal direction of the tooth mechanism, each tooth 122 projects beyond the supporting rod 121 and extends to approach the rolling brush, and the teeth 222 can at least contact with the supporting bars 212 of the supporting bars 212, the bristle bars 213 and the flocking bundle groups 214. In this way, the teeth 222 can contact the hairs on the supporting bars 212, so as to break the hairs attached to the supporting bars 212, thereby further facilitating the hairs to be separated from the rolling brush, avoiding the rolling brush from being entangled because the hair are tightly wound on the rolling brush roller 211, and ensuring the surface clean and the normal rotation of the rolling brush.

Specifically, there is a first distance from the outer ends of the bristle bars 213 facing away from the rolling brush roller 211 to the axis V2, there is a second distance from the outer ends of the supporting bars 212 facing away from the rolling brush roller 211 to the axis V2, there is a third distance from the outer ends of the flocking bundle groups 214 facing away from the rolling brush roller 211 to the axis V2, and there is a fourth distance from the extending ends of the teeth 222 to the axis V2, wherein the fourth distance is less than the second distance. In this way, it is ensured that the teeth 222 can contact the supporting bars 212 when the rolling brush is applied to the cleaning of the surface to be cleaned, so as to break the hairs attached to the supporting bars 212.

In the present embodiment, the fourth distance, the second distance, the third distance and the first distance are sequentially increased, that is, the extending ends of the teeth 222, the outer ends of the supporting bars 212, the outer ends of the flocking bundle groups 214 and the outer ends of the brush bars 213 are sequentially away from the axis V2. In this way, the extending ends of the teeth 222 can contact not only the supporting bars 212 but also the bristle bars 213 furthermore, so as to scrape off or break the hairs attached to the bristle bars 213, thereby further facilitating the hairs to be separated from the rolling brush.

In addition, each tooth 222 is positioned between adjacent two tufts of flocking bundle in the longitudinal direction of the brush roller assembly 200, that is, each tooth 222 passes between adjacent two tufts of flocking bundle, thereby pulling or breaking the hairs wound around the adjacent two tufts blocking bundle.

To sum up, compared with the prior art, the beneficial effect of the present embodiment is: under the supporting action of the supporting bars 212, the hairs are suspended due to the support of the two supporting bars 212, so as to facilitate the hairs to be separated from the rolling brush; the hairs attached to the supporting bars 212 are further broken by the extending ends of the teeth 222, so as to further facilitate the hairs to be separated from the rolling brush, so that the rolling brush is prevented from being entangled because the hairs are tightly wound on the rolling brush roller 111, and the surface clean and the normal rotation of the rolling brush are ensured.

The flocking bundle groups 314 are used for contacting the surface to be cleaned when the rolling brush rotates, so as to clean the surface to be cleaned, mainly for cleaning dust, and is more suitable for the surface to be cleaned of carpet. The flocking bundle groups 314 are formed by a plurality of tufts of blocking bundle. Each tuft of blocking bundle extends from the rolling brush roller 311 away from the axis V3, and the plurality of tufts of blocking bundle are spaced apart in series along the blocking bundle groups 314 to form an elongated structure. Moreover, the two different tufts of blocking bundle bundles can both be set into straight bristles or curved bristles, or one of the two tufts of blocking bundle is set into straight bristles and the other is set into curved bristles. Preferably, in one flocking bundle group 314, a tuft of straight bristles and a tuft of curved bristles are arranged alternately. In addition, the flocking bundle may be made of synthetic fibers in terms of material, but is not limited thereto.

Of course, in other embodiments, when the number of the flocking bundle groups 314 is set to be three or more, these flocking bundle groups 314 are preferably arranged at uniform intervals in the circumferential direction of the rolling brush roller 311 (i.e., in the circumferential direction of the axis V3).

The bristle bars 313 are used for contacting the surface to be cleaned when the rolling brush rotates, so as to clean the surface to be cleaned, mainly used for cleaning in a wiping mode and suitable for a floor type smooth surface to be cleaned. The bristle bars 313 are preferably in the form of a felt or pile.

The two bristle bars 313 are arranged opposite to each other in the circumferential direction of the rolling brush roller 311, and referring to FIG. 9, in the cross-section of the rolling brush assembly 300, the two bristle bars 313 are symmetrically arranged at substantially 180° around the axis V3. Of course, in other embodiments, when the number of the bristle bars 313 is set to be three or more, these hair strips 313 are preferably arranged at uniform intervals along the circumferential direction of the rolling brush roller 311 (i.e., the circumferential direction of the axis V3).

In addition, the rolling brush roller 311 has a first groove recessedly provided in its outer circumferential surface, which is preferably configured as a T-groove, extending along one longitudinal end of the rolling brush roller 311 to the other longitudinal end of the rolling brush roller 311, and symmetrically disposed with respect to the connection surface M3. Correspondingly, the inner end of the bristle bar 313 close to the axis V3 is configured to be shape-fitted with the first groove, and can be clamped in the first groove, so that the bristle bar 313 can be detachably mounted on the rolling brush roller 311, for example, the bristle bar 313 can be inserted into the first groove from one longitudinal end of the rolling brush roller 311, so that the detachable mount of the bristle bar 313 can be realized.

In this way, it is ensured that the teeth 322 can contact the bristle bar 313 when the rolling brush is applied to cleaning of a surface to be cleaned, so as to scrape off or break the hairs attached to the bristle bar 313.

In the present embodiment, the third distance and the first distance are substantially equal, and the fourth distance is less than the third distance and the first distance. In this way, the extending ends of the teeth 322 can contact not only the bristle bar 313 but also further the flocking bundle group 314 to facilitate scraping off or breaking the hairs attached to tuft block 314 to further facilitate the removal of hairs from the rolling brush.

Specifically, each tooth 322 is positioned between adjacent two tufts of the flocking bundle in the longitudinal direction of rolling brush assembly 300, that is, each tooth 322 passes between adjacent two tufts of the flocking bundle, thereby pulling or breaking the hairs wound around the adjacent two tufts of flocking bundle.

Common filaments include hair, body hair, animal hair, etc., and it should be noted that filaments are not limited to the above examples.

The rolling brush roller 511 is substantially a longitudinal cylinder with the axis V5 as the central axis, is rotatably connected to the machine body, and is driven by the motor to rotate around the axis V5, so as to drive the rolling brush to rotate integrally. Specifically, the rolling brush roller 511 specifically includes an inner roller 5112 sleeved outside the central rotating shaft 50 and an outer roller 5113 fixedly wrapped outside the inner roller 5112. The central rotating shaft 50 is connected with the driving shaft of the motor; the inner roller 5112 is generally configured as a rigid member, and is used for supporting the outer roller 5113 so as to avoid the great bending deformation of the outer roller 5113 under the action of an external force, thereby ensuring the stable configuration of the rolling brush; the outer circumferential surface of the outer roller 5113 constitutes the outer circumferential surface of the rolling brush roller 511, and the outer roller 5113 is used to fixedly assembly the brush bars 514.

Preferably, as shown in FIG. 14, the rolling brush roller 511 is formed by two equal length segments in the longitudinal direction thereof, and the two segments of the rolling brush roller 511 are arranged to be centrally symmetric with respect to the connecting plane M5. The rolling brush roller 511 is integrally formed, or the two segments of the rolling brush rollers 511 are independently formed, assembled and spliced.

The brush bars 514 are used for contacting the surface to be cleaned when the rolling brush rotates, so as to clean the surface to be cleaned, the number of the brush bars is set to be at least two, and these brush bars 514 are arranged at uniform intervals along the circumferential direction of the rolling brush 511 (i.e., the circumferential direction of the axis V5). In the present embodiment, the number of the brush bars 514 is set to be two, and the two brush bars 514 are oppositely arranged in the circumferential direction of the rolling brush roller 511, and referring to FIG. 14, in the cross-section of the rolling brush assembly 500, two flocking bundle groups are symmetrically arranged at substantially 180° around the axis V5.

In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 14, each brush bar 514 includes a first segment extending in a first spiral direction and a second segment extending in a second spiral direction on the outer circumferential surface of the brush roller 511, the first spiral direction and the second spiral direction being opposite; the first segment of the brush bar 514 and the second segment of the brush bar 514 intersect at the connecting plane M5, i.e., each brush bar 514 is distributed in a V-shape on the outer circumference of the rolling brush roller 511. It is further preferred that the first segment of the brush bar 514 and the second segment of the brush bar 514 are arranged to be centrally symmetric with respect to the connecting plane M5. Of course, in a modified embodiment, each brush bar 514 may extend in a single helical direction about the axis V5.

Furthermore, the brush bar 514 is a flocking bundle group flocked on the rolling brush roller 511, and the flocking bundle group is used for contacting the surface to be cleaned when the rolling brush rotates, so as to clean the surface to be cleaned, mainly for cleaning dust, and is more suitable for the surface to be cleaned of carpet. The flocking bundle group is formed by a plurality of tufts of flocking bundle. Each tuft of flocking bundle extends from the rolling brush roller 511 away from axis V5, the plurality of tufts of flocking bundle being spaced apart in sequence along the flocking bundle group to form an elongated structure. Moreover, the two different tufts of flocking bundles can be set into straight bristles or curved bristles, or one of the two tufts of flocking bundles is set into straight bristle and the other is set into curved bristle.

Each protruding strip 515 extends lengthwise in the longitudinal direction of the rolling brush roller 511, the longitudinal extension direction of which may be parallel to the axis V5 or extends curvedly as illustrated in the drawing, one longitudinal end thereof is disposed at one longitudinal end of the outer roller 5113 and the other longitudinal end thereof is disposed at the other longitudinal end of the outer roller 5113, that is, each protruding strip 515 extends from one longitudinal end of the outer roller 5113 to the other longitudinal end.

As shown in FIG. 14, each of the protruding strips 515 includes a first segment extending in a first spiral direction and a second segment extending in a second spiral direction on the outer circumferential surface of the rolling brush roller 511, the first spiral direction and the second spiral direction being opposite to each other; the first segment of the protruding strip 515 and the second segment of the protruding strip 515 intersect at the connecting plane M5, that is, each rib 515 is arranged in a V-shape on the outer circumference of the rolling brush roller 511. Further preferably, the first segment of the protruding strip 515 and the second segment of the protruding strip 515 are arranged to be centrally symmetric with respect to the connection plane M5. Of course, in a modified embodiment, each protruding strip 515 may extend in a single spiral direction about axis V5.

Furthermore, the longitudinal extension directions of the protruding bar 515 and the flocking bundle group are parallel to each other.

The tooth mechanism extends lengthwise approximately parallel to the axis V5 and includes a supporting rod 521 and a plurality of teeth 522, wherein the supporting rod 521 can be fixedly assembled on the machine body, so that the tooth mechanism is mounted on the machine body integrally. These teeth 522 are arranged in sequence along the longitudinal direction of the tooth mechanism, each tooth 522 protrudes beyond the supporting rod 521 and extends to approach the rolling brush, and the teeth 522 can be contacted with the flocking bundle group but not with the protruding strips 515. That is, there is a fourth distance from the extension ends of the teeth 522 to the axis V5, wherein the fourth distance is less than the first distance and greater than the second distance. In this way, the teeth 522 can insert inside the flocking bundle group, thereby scraping off or breaking the hairs on the flocking bundle group, so as to further facilitate the removal of the hairs from the rolling brush, avoids the rolling brush being entangled and because the hairs are tightly wound on the rolling brush roller 511, and the teeth 52 will not collide or intervene with the protruding strips 515, ensuring the surface clean and the normal rotation of the rolling brush.

Furthermore, each tooth 522 is positioned between adjacent two tufts of the flocking bundle in the longitudinal direction of the brush roller assembly 500, that is, each tooth 522 passes between adjacent two tufts of the flocking bundle, thereby pulling or breaking the hairs wound in the adjacent two tufts of the flocking bundle.

Specifically, as illustrated in the drawing, the number of the brush bars 614 is two, and the number of the protruding strips 615 is set to be four.

And furthermore, between the adjacent two brush bars 614, the two protruding strips 615 are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the rolling brush roller 611 (i.e., the circumferential direction of the axis V6), and are respectively close to the two brush bars 514, that is, one protruding strip 615 is close to one of the adjacent two brush bars 614, and the other protruding strip 615 is close to the other one of the adjacent two brush bars 614. In this way, in addition to the beneficial effects of Embodiment 5, the present embodiment further enhances the supporting effect of the protruding strips 615 to the hairs, and facilitates the hairs to be separated from the rolling brush, so as to avoid the hair from being entangled on the rolling brush roller 611.

It should be understood that although the specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment includes only a single embodiment, and such description is for clarity purposes only, and it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the specification as a whole may be appropriately combined to form other embodiments as will be apparent to those skilled in the art.

A series of detailed descriptions listed above are only specific descriptions of the feasible embodiments of the present disclosure, they are not used to limit the scope of protection of the present disclosure, and any equivalent embodiments or modifications made without departing from the technical spirit of the present disclosure shall be included in the scope of protection of the present disclosure.
