Abstract

A sweeper machine comprises a support frame, a machine body, and a garbage collection case. The support frame includes two fixing arms. The machine body is disposed between and mounted to the two fixing arms. The garbage collection case is inserted to the rear side of the machine body. Each fixing arm includes a driving wheel. The machine body includes a body casing and a roll brush. The roll brush is disposed inside the body casing. The body casing includes an opening. The lower part of the roll brush is exposed from the opening. Two first connection holes are respectively formed on two ends of the body casing. Each driving shaft extends out of the fixing arm and penetrates one connection hole. Two ends of the roll brush are respectively firmly connected with the two driving shafts separately penetrating the two first connection holes.

Claims

1. A sweeper machine, comprising:

a support frame, including two fixing arms, wherein each fixing arm includes a driving wheel, a first gear and a second gear, and wherein each of the driving wheel protrudes from a terminal of the fixing arm where the driving wheel is installed, and wherein the driving wheel is coaxially coupled to the second gear, and the second gear is meshed with the first gear, and wherein the first gear is further coaxially coupled to a driving shaft, and wherein the driving shaft is extended out of the fixing arm where the driving shaft is installed;

a machine body disposed between and mounted to the two fixing arms and including a body casing and a roll brush, wherein the roll brush is disposed inside the body casing, and wherein the body casing includes an opening formed and extended in a rear side of a bottom of the body casing, and wherein a lower part of the roll brush is exposed from the opening, and wherein a first connection hole is respectively formed on each of two ends of the body casing, and wherein each driving shaft, which extends out of each fixing arm, penetrates one of the first connection holes, and wherein each of two ends of the roll brush is respectively firmly connected with one of the two driving shafts; and

a garbage collection case disposed in the opening in the rear side of the body casing and including a garbage receiving opening facing the roll brush.

2. The sweeper machine according to claim 1, wherein the support frame includes a main casing, and wherein the main casing includes two fixing-arm shells branching out toward the two lateral sides of the main casing, and wherein each fixing-arm shell includes a fixing-arm side cover on the outer side of the fixing-arm shell, and wherein each fixing-arm shell and the fixing-arm side cover thereof include an accommodation space therebetween, and wherein each accommodation space accommodates the driving wheel, the first gear and the second gear.

3. The sweeper machine according to claim 2, wherein each fixing-arm shell includes a first annular limit protrusion, and wherein each fixing-arm side cover includes a second annular limit protrusion, and wherein two sides of each second gear respectively include two annular positioning grooves separately assembled to the first annular limit protrusion and the second annular limit protrusion.

4. The sweeper machine according to claim 3, wherein the driving wheel has an annular shape, and wherein each driving wheel sleeves and engages with the outer side of one of the second gears, and wherein the second gear is an internal gear, and the first gear is an external gear, and wherein the first gear is disposed inside the second gear and meshed with the second gear.

5. The sweeper machine according to claim 2, wherein the top of the body casing includes an adapter, which is hinged to the body casing with a pin, and wherein the adapter is fixedly connected with a swing member, and wherein the swing member is connected with a sweeper handle by a connection member.

6. The sweeper machine according to claim 2, wherein each fixing-arm side cover includes a bump cover on the outer side thereof.

7. The sweeper machine according to claim 2, wherein a torsion spring is disposed between the machine body and each of the fixing arms, and wherein a machine-body side cover is respectively assembled to each of two sides of the body casing, and wherein each machine-body side cover includes a second connection hole coaxial with the first connection hole and an arc-shaped limit groove penetrating the machine-body side cover, and wherein the circle center of the arc-shaped limit groove is on the axis of the second connection hole, and wherein the rim of the first connection hole extends toward the corresponding machine-body side cover to form a fixing shaft, and wherein the body casing includes a limit block respectively at each of the two sides thereof, and wherein the torsion spring includes a helically-wound spring body and also includes a first spring arm and a second spring arm respectively extended from two ends of the spring body, and wherein the spring body sleeves the fixing shaft, and the first spring arm presses against the limit block, and wherein the fixing arm includes a limit pillar, and wherein the limit pillar is inserted into the arc-shaped limit groove and presses against the second spring arm.

8. The sweeper machine according to claim 1, wherein the garbage receiving opening includes a scraper strip disposed on the edge of the bottom of the garbage receiving opening and cooperating with the roll brush, and wherein the garbage collection case includes at least one recess concaved upward from the bottom thereof, and wherein an auxiliary roller is assembled in the recess.
