Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A sweeping assembly for a cleaning device, comprising:
 a side-brush holder disposed at a bottom of the cleaning device, the side-brush holder defining a side-brush accommodating chamber therein;   a side brush comprising a base arranged in the side-brush accommodating chamber and a brush member connected to the base and protruding out of the side-brush accommodating chamber, wherein a gap is defined between the base and the side-brush holder; and   an anti-winding structure arranged in the gap, and comprising a first end connected to one of the base and the side-brush holder, and a second end abutting against the other one of the base and the side-brush holder.   
     
     
         2 . The sweeping assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein the anti-winding structure is made of soft materials, and configured to be elastically deformed in a case that the cleaning device operates in a working state. 
     
     
         3 . The sweeping assembly according to  claim 2 , wherein the soft materials comprise at least one tuft of bristles. 
     
     
         4 . The sweeping assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein the first end of the anti-winding structure is connected to an outer side of the base, and the second end of the anti-winding structure abuts against an inner wall of the side-brush holder defining the side-brush accommodating chamber. 
     
     
         5 . The sweeping assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein the first end of the anti-winding structure is connected to an inner wall of the side-brush holder defining the side-brush accommodating chamber, and the second end of the anti-winding structure abuts against an outer side of the base. 
     
     
         6 . The sweeping assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein the base has a cylindrical shape, a plurality of brush members are connected to the base and arranged along a circumferential direction of the base, and the anti-winding structure is arranged between two adjacent brush members of the plurality of brush members. 
     
     
         7 . The sweeping assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein the base has a cylindrical shape, and the anti-winding structure has a strip shape, and extends along a radial direction of the base. 
     
     
         8 . The sweeping assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein the base comprises a cleaning part and a connecting part connected to each other, the brush member protrudes outward from the cleaning part, and the connecting part is connected to a driver of the cleaning device. 
     
     
         9 . The sweeping assembly according to  claim 8 , further comprising a rotating shaft running through a bottom of the side-brush accommodating chamber, wherein the rotating shaft comprises a first end connected with the driver, and a second end connected with an end central region of the connecting part. 
     
     
         10 . The sweeping assembly according to  claim 9 , further comprising at least one annular anti-winding groove disposed between an end edge of the connecting part and the end central region of the connecting part. 
     
     
         11 . The sweeping assembly according to  claim 10 , wherein the at least one annular anti-winding groove is configured as a step, and the step is configured to collect and receive objects to be cleaned, preventing the objects to be cleaned from approaching the rotating shaft. 
     
     
         12 . The sweeping assembly according to  claim 8 , further comprising an opening disposed in an outer wall of the connecting part, wherein the first end of the anti-winding structure is inserted in the opening, and the second end of the anti-winding structure projects out of the opening to abut against an inner wall of the side-brush holder defining the side-brush accommodating chamber. 
     
     
         13 . A cleaning device, comprising:
 a sweeping assembly; and   a driver connected to the sweeping assembly and configured to drive the sweeping assembly to rotate,   wherein the sweeping assembly comprising:
 a side-brush holder disposed at a bottom of the cleaning device, the side-brush holder defining a side-brush accommodating chamber therein; 
 a side brush comprising a base arranged in the side-brush accommodating chamber and a brush member connected to the base and protruding out of the side-brush accommodating chamber, wherein a gap is defined between the base and the side-brush holder; and 
 an anti-winding structure arranged in the gap, and comprising a first end connected to one of the base and the side-brush holder, and a second end abutting against the other one of the base and the side-brush holder. 
   
     
     
         14 . The cleaning device according to  claim 13 , wherein the anti-winding structure is made of soft materials, and configured to be elastically deformed in a case that the cleaning device operates in a working state. 
     
     
         15 . The cleaning device according to  claim 14 , wherein the soft materials comprise at least one tuft of bristles. 
     
     
         16 . The cleaning device according to  claim 13 , wherein the first end of the anti-winding structure is connected to an outer side of the base, and the second end of the anti-winding structure abuts against an inner wall of the side-brush holder defining the side-brush accommodating chamber. 
     
     
         17 . The cleaning device according to  claim 13 , wherein the first end of the anti-winding structure is connected to an inner wall of the side-brush holder defining the side-brush accommodating chamber, and the second end of the anti-winding structure abuts against an outer side of the base. 
     
     
         18 .
