Abstract

Provided is a self-moving ground processing apparatus and a suction nozzle. The self-moving ground processing apparatus includes at least an apparatus main body and a suction nozzle coupled to the apparatus main body, where, a suction port is formed on the bottom of the suction nozzle, an advancing direction of the suction nozzle during the operation process is set as a forward direction, a front sealing strip is arranged on the front side of the suction port, the front sealing strip and includes a fixed end and a free end extending toward a working surface. The front sealing strip is made of a flexible material, and the front sealing strip is arranged to deviate from the forward direction, so that a projection of the fixed end on the working surface is positioned before a projection of the free end on the working surface.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified

         2 . The self-moving ground processing apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein, the front sealing strip ( 1003 ) is arranged on the front side of the suction port ( 100 ) through the fixed end ( 10031 ), and a thickness of the fixed end is less than a thickness of the free end ( 10032 ). 
     
     
         3 . The self-moving ground processing apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein, the thickness of the front sealing strip ( 1003 ) is less than or equal to 1.8 mm. 
     
     
         4 . The self-moving ground processing apparatus according to  claim 3 , wherein, the front sealing strip ( 1003 ) is arc-shaped. 
     
     
         5 . The self-moving ground processing apparatus according to  claim 4 , wherein, a rolling brush is mounted at the suction port ( 100 ) of the suction nozzle ( 1000 ), and the front sealing strip ( 1003 ) is arranged concentrically with the rolling brush. 
     
     
         6 . The self-moving ground processing apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein, a suction port cover plate ( 1001 ) is mounted on the bottom of the suction nozzle ( 1000 ), the suction port ( 100 ) is formed in the middle of the suction port cover plate, the suction port cover plate comprises a left side cover and a right side cover arranged on the left side and the right side respectively, each cover comprises a inclined portion ( 10011 ) on the front side and a planar portion ( 10012 ) on the rear side, and a contact point of the free end ( 10032 ) of the front sealing strip ( 1003 ) with the working surface (B) is located at or behind the foremost end of the planar portion. 
     
     
         7 . The self-moving ground processing apparatus according to  claim 6 , wherein, the left side cover and the right side cover of the suction port cover plate ( 1001 ) are covered with a soft cushion. 
     
     
         8 . The self-moving ground processing apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein, a plurality of gaps ( 1004 ) are formed on the front sealing strip ( 1003 ) at intervals. 
     
     
         9 . The self-moving ground processing apparatus according to  claim 8 , wherein, the width of the gaps ( 1004 ) is less than or equal to 5 mm. 
     
     
         10 . The self-moving ground processing apparatus according to  claim 8 , wherein, the length of the gaps ( 1004 ) is the same as a longitudinal length of the front sealing strip ( 1003 );
 or, the length of the gaps ( 1004 ) is greater than 3 mm.   
     
     
         11 . The self-moving ground processing apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein, a plurality of notches ( 1005 ) are formed on the front sealing strip ( 1003 ) at intervals. 
     
     
         12 .
