BACKGROUND

A vacuum cleaner is cleaning equipment widely used in advanced human life and industrial production and has been developed for more than 100 years since its birth. The working principle of the vacuum cleaner is using a motor to drive blades to rotate at a high speed, generate negative air pressure in a sealed casing, and then sucking dust and debris through a floor brush connected to a dust suction pipe. A rolling brush is one of the main components of a floor brush assembly. A floor brush motor drives the rolling brush to rotate, thus bringing dust and debris on the floor to a suction inlet and sucking them into a dust cup of the vacuum cleaner, so as to achieve a cleaning and dust removal effect on the floor.


For most of the existing floor brushes, during removal and cleaning, a flocking rolling brush or a nap rolling brush is removed from the bottom or the left and right sides of the floor brush, or is removed, cleaned, and replaced from a surface cover and a front section of the floor brush.


The main disadvantages of the existing floor brush assembly are as follows:


1) The single rolling brush is provided on the floor brush, so different types of floors cannot be cleaned.


2) Both the flocking rolling brush and the nap rolling brush are equipped with the same floor brush. Due to different requirements for opening ways in the front ends of suction inlet seats, poor cleanliness is easily caused.


3) The floor brush is difficult to install, and some small parts are easy to lose.
