Cleaning apparatus for cleaning both sides of a glass panel

Abstract

The present inventive concept discloses to a cleaning apparatus for cleaning both sides of the glass panel. The cleaning apparatus comprises two cleaning components attracted to each other and attached on opposite sides of the glass panel. Each of the cleaning components comprises a body, a cleaning module, and a plurality of magnetic modules. The body has a central portion and a peripheral portion. The body has plurality of grooves on a bottom surface of the peripheral portion. Each of the magnetic modules has a magnetic wheelset disposed in the groove and exposed on the bottom surface of the body. The two cleaning components are adsorbed to opposite sides of the glass panel by the magnetic attraction of the magnetic wheelsets. One of the cleaning components could be driven by a motor to rotate itself and drive the other cleaning component on the opposite side of the glass panel to rotate together.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A cleaning apparatus for cleaning both sides of a glass panel, comprising two cleaning components, each of which is located on opposite sides of the glass panel, respectively, wherein each of the cleaning components comprises:
 a body comprising a central portion and a peripheral portion substantially surrounding the central portion, and the peripheral portion has a plurality of grooves on a bottom surface of the peripheral portion;   a cleaning module disposed on a bottom surface of the body; and   a plurality of magnetic modules, wherein each of the magnetic modules comprises, a magnetic wheelset disposed in the groove and partially exposed on the bottom surface of the body;   wherein each of the two cleaning components are attached to the opposite sides of the glass panel by the magnetic attraction of the magnetic wheelsets, and one of the cleaning components is driven by a motor to rotate and drive the other cleaning component on the opposite side of the glass panel to rotate together, and wherein the magnetic wheelset rolls on a surface of the glass panel and moves up and down in the groove while the two cleaning components are rotating.   
     
     
         2 . The cleaning apparatus for cleaning both sides of a glass panel of  claim 1 , wherein the magnetic wheelset comprises a shaft and a plurality of magnetic wheels, wherein the shaft passes through the plurality of magnetic wheels. 
     
     
         3 . The cleaning apparatus for cleaning both sides of a glass panel of  claim 2 , wherein the body further has a stopper disposed on an edge of the groove adjacent to the bottom surface of the peripheral portion to prevent the shaft from being detached from the groove. 
     
     
         4 . The cleaning apparatus for cleaning both sides of a glass panel according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the cleaning components further comprises a cover mounted in the through-hole, and   the body further comprises a through-hole penetrating the body, and wherein   the groove is formed by the through-hole and the cover mounted in the through-hole.   
     
     
         5 . The cleaning apparatus for cleaning both sides of a glass panel of  claim 4 , wherein
 the through-hole is an elongated hole, and   the groove has two ends and extends in a direction radially outward with one of the two ends near the center of the peripheral portion and the other one of the two ends near the outer side of the peripheral portion.   
     
     
         6 . The cleaning apparatus for cleaning both sides of a glass panel of  claim 5 , wherein the cover has a sidewall, and the groove further comprises a gap, wherein the gap is formed between the sidewall and the stopper when the cover is mounted in the through-hole, and the end of the shaft is restricted in the gap. 
     
     
         7 . The cleaning apparatus for cleaning both sides of a glass panel of  claim 1 , wherein the cleaning module is a cleaning cloth, sponge, or brush. 
     
     
         8 . The cleaning apparatus for cleaning both sides of a glass panel of  claim 1 , wherein the body further has:
 a convex portion, at the top of the central portion of the body, and   a recess portion, at the bottom of the central portion of the body.   
     
     
         9 . The cleaning apparatus for cleaning both sides of a glass panel of  claim 8 , wherein the convex portion comprises a connecting hole penetrating the body for connecting to a movable joint of a water pipe or the motor. 
     
     
         10 . The cleaning apparatus for cleaning both sides of a window glass panel of  claim 1 , the cleaning apparatus further comprises a safety rope having two ends, and wherein one end of the safety rope is connected to the body of one of the cleaning components, and the other end is connected to a fixed object in the external environment.
