  • Patent number: 10786134
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a water channel assembly including a channel shell and a filtering piece. The water channel is disposed on the surface of a cleaning roller in a seal and overturn mode so that the cleaning roller is washed by water flowing in the water channel. The filtering piece is laid in the water channel and faces the surface of the cleaning roller. As a result, the solid trash on the cleaning roller is filtered by the filter element and cannot enter the water channel, thus preventing the blockage of the waterway of the water supply system.

  • Patent number: 10755649
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method and apparatus for driving an electrophoretic display panel, and a display device. The electrophoretic display panel includes a first electrode layer, a second electrode layer, and charged particles distributed between the first electrode layer and the second electrode layer. In the method for driving an electrophoretic display panel, a direct current voltage signal is applied to the first electrode layer to cause the charged particles to move to a predetermined position. An alternating current voltage signal is applied to the first electrode layer to cause the charged particles to oscillate. A data voltage signal is applied to the first electrode layer for display. After the charged particles oscillate, the motion activity can be improved, so that the charged particles may more accurately move according to the data voltage signal, thereby improving display accuracy.
