DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

[0012] The present invention is exemplified by the following embodiment; however, the invention is not limited thereto.

[0013] Please refer to FIGS. 1-3, a jet cleaning structure of a cleaning robot 1 of the present invention mainly comprises at least one jet port 2 disposed around the periphery of a suction port 11 located at the bottom of the cleaning robot 1, and a roller brush 3 is disposed in a roller groove 12 so that the roller brush faces the suction port 11 and heads towards the moving direction of the cleaning robot 1, wherein the cleaning robot 1 is disposed with a motor 4 therein, the motor 4 is connected with the suction port 11 and generates a negative pressure by rotating to create a suction force at the suction port 11, the jet port 2 is connected with the motor 4 to eject the air sucked into the cleaning robot 1 through the suction port 11, or the jet port 2 is connected with an air compressor 5 to eject the air compressed by the air compressor 5.

[0014] The roller brush 3 mainly comprises a shaft 31 and a plurality of hard brush rods 32, wherein the shaft 31 is set in a roller groove 12 at the bottom of the cleaning robot 1. Two ends of the shaft 31 are pivoted in two connecting structures 311 respectively located at each end of the roller groove 12. The plurality of hard brush rods 32 are equally arranged on the shaft in a straight or helical manner, wherein the plurality of hard brush rods 32 are made of plastic or rubber materials.

[0015] When using the jet cleaning structure of the cleaning robot 1, the cleaning robot 1 is first placed on the floor, then the cleaning robot 1 is activated and is moved by wheels 13 at the bottom of the cleaning robot 1, while the side brushes 14 of the cleaning robot 1 rotate to drive the roller brush 3 to rotate with respect to the moving direction of the cleaning robot 1. When the cleaning robot 1 is moving, the side brushes 14 of the cleaning robot 1 collect the dust and foreign substances along the moving path of the cleaning robot 1 and move them to the underside of the cleaning robot 1, then the jet port 2 ejects air to the underside of the suction port 11 to raise the dust and foreign substances gathered below the suction port 11, and the plurality of hard brush rods 32 driven by the shaft 31 sweep the dust and foreign substances on the floor, so that the suction port 11 can suck the dust and foreign substances raised by the jet port 2 into the dust box (not shown) of the cleaning robot 1, thereby preventing the dust and foreign substances from being stuck on the floor by static charges and cannot be collected in the dust box via the suction port 11.

[0016] While the cleaning robot 1 moving onto the carpet, the side brushes 14 of the cleaning robot 1 collect the dust and foreign substances along the moving path of the cleaning robot 1 and sweep them to the underside of the cleaning robot 1, and the shaft 31 drives the plurality of hard brush rods 32 to rotate with respect to the moving direction of the cleaning robot 1 and to push away the fluff of the carpet, then the jet port 2 ejects the air to raise the dust and foreign substances accumulated at the bottom of the fluff, and then the suction port 11 disposed in the cleaning robot 1 sucks the dust and foreign substances accumulated at the bottom of the fluff into the dust box, thereby cleaning the carpet effectively.

[0017] Many changes and modifications in the above described embodiment of the invention can, of course, be carried out without departing from the scope thereof. Accordingly, to promote the progress in science and the useful arts, the invention is disclosed and is intended to be limited only by the scope of the appended claims.
