Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of cleaning appliance technology, and in particular relates to a dust cup emptying door structure that prevents magnets from attracting garbage. Background Technology

[0002] Vacuum cleaners use an electric motor to drive a fan to rotate at high speed, creating a partial vacuum inside the dust collection chamber. This creates a pressure difference between the dust collection chamber and the outside of the chamber, generating airflow. Dust is drawn into the dust collection chamber along with the airflow, filtered, and retained inside the chamber before being discharged as clean air.

[0003] Currently, in high-end vacuum cleaners on the market, if the dust cup door uses a magnetic structure as the main force for closing, the special properties of magnets will cause them to attract iron filings, coins, and pins during the automatic dust collection process. This will prevent the dust cup door from closing and render the vacuum cleaner unusable. Summary of the Invention

[0044] Example 1:

[0045] Please see Figures 1 to 7 This invention provides a dust cup emptying door structure to prevent magnetic attraction of waste, comprising: a dust cup assembly 1 and a base station suction port 2. The dust cup assembly 1 includes a dust cup housing 11, a dust cup door 12, a magnetic suction component 13, and a dust cup locking component 14. The dust cup door 12 is rotatably connected to the dust cup housing 11 and has a slot 3. The dust cup locking component 14 is disposed on the dust cup housing 11, and the hook 143 on the dust cup locking component 14 is engaged with the slot 3.

[0046] The magnetic suction component 13 includes a magnet seat guide block 131, a magnet fixing seat 132, and a magnet 133. The magnet seat guide block 131 is slidably connected to the dust cup housing 11, the magnet fixing seat 132 is connected to the magnet seat guide block 131, and the magnet 133 is mounted on the magnet fixing seat 132.

[0047] The base station suction port 2 is installed on the base station 4. The base station 4 is provided with a negative pressure component for generating suction. The base station suction port 2 is provided with a slot 5. The dust cup assembly 1 is inserted into the slot 5. The bottom of the slot 5 is a dust suction channel 6. The inner wall of the base station suction port 2 is provided with a protruding blocking component 7. After the dust cup assembly 1 is inserted into the slot, the blocking component 7 forces the magnet seat guide block 131 to move upward.

[0048] This invention provides a dust cup emptying door structure to prevent magnets from attracting waste. It mainly comprises a dust cup assembly and a base station suction port. The dust cup assembly includes a dust cup shell, a dust cup door, a magnetic suction component, and a dust cup locking component. The dust cup door is rotatably connected to the dust cup shell and has a slot. The dust cup locking component is located on the dust cup shell, and its hook engages with the slot. The magnetic suction component includes a magnet base guide block, a magnet fixing base, and a magnet. The magnet base guide block is slidably connected to the dust cup shell, the magnet fixing base is connected to the magnet base guide block, and the magnet is mounted on the magnet fixing base. The base station suction port is located on a base station, which contains a negative pressure component for generating suction. The base station suction port has a slot into which the dust cup assembly is inserted. The bottom of the slot is a suction channel, and the inner wall of the base station suction port has a protruding blocking component. After the dust cup assembly is inserted into the slot, the blocking component forces the magnet base guide block to move upwards.

[0049] With the above structure, by setting a blocking component at the base station suction port, when the vacuum cleaner finishes vacuuming and is recycled to the base station, the blocking component abuts against the baffle. As the vacuum cleaner is inserted into the slot, the magnet seat guide block compresses the first spring and moves upward, thereby pushing the magnet away from the dust cup suction port, which can unlock the dust cup door and prevent iron filings in the dust from being attracted to the magnet.

[0050] Example 2:

[0051] Please see Figures 1 to 7 The present invention provides a dust cup emptying door structure to prevent magnets from attracting garbage. Based on the above embodiments, this embodiment further makes the following improved technical solutions: the blocking component 7 includes two parallel first plates, which are arranged vertically.

[0052] With the above-described structure, the first plate can block the magnet seat guide block, causing the magnet seat guide block to compress the first spring, thereby pushing the magnet away from the dust cup suction port. The first plate can also be arranged horizontally.

[0053] Example 3:

[0054] Please see Figures 1 to 7 The present invention provides a dust cup emptying door structure to prevent the magnet from attracting garbage. Based on the above embodiments, this embodiment further improves the technical solution as follows: a baffle 8 is provided on the magnet seat guide block 131, and the baffle 8 is grounded to the top of the first plate.

[0055] With the above structure, the baffle is perpendicular to the magnet seat guide block, and the baffle is fixedly connected to the side of the magnet seat guide block, which facilitates the contact between the magnet seat guide block and the first plate.

[0056] Example 4:

[0057] Please see Figures 1 to 7 This invention provides a dust cup emptying door structure to prevent magnets from attracting garbage. Based on the above embodiments, this embodiment further improves upon the following technical solutions: a mounting base 9 is provided on the dust cup housing 11, and a mounting groove 10 is provided in the mounting base 9.

A first spring 15 is provided at the end of the magnet seat guide block 131 away from the magnet 133, and the first spring 15 is located in the mounting groove 10.

[0058] With the above structure, the mounting base and the dust cup housing are integrated. The mounting base can protect the magnetic components. At the same time, the mounting groove is arranged along the length of the mounting base, which can limit the range of motion of the magnet base guide block and make the movement of the magnet base guide block more stable.

[0059] Example 5:

[0060] Please see Figures 1 to 7 The present invention provides a dust cup emptying door structure to prevent the magnet from attracting garbage. Based on the above embodiments, this embodiment further improves the technical solution as follows: the bottom of the mounting base 9 is provided with a through hole, the size of which is adapted to the size of the magnet 133.

[0061] The above structure allows for the entry and exit of magnets through a through hole. The actual size of the through hole should be larger than the size of the magnet to facilitate its entry and exit.

[0062] Example 6:

[0063] Please see Figures 1 to 7 The present invention provides a dust cup emptying door structure to prevent magnets from attracting garbage. Based on the above embodiments, this embodiment further improves the technical solution as follows: a limiting groove 16 is provided on the dust cup door 12, the limiting groove 16 is located below the through hole, and a magnetic element is provided in the limiting groove 16.

[0064] With the above structure, the magnet passes through the through hole and is magnetically connected to the magnetic element, which makes the connection between the magnet and the dust cup door more secure and less likely to detach.

[0065] Example 7:

[0066] Please see Figures 1 to 7 The present invention provides a dust cup emptying door structure to prevent magnets from attracting garbage. Based on the above embodiments, the following technical solution is further improved: the magnetic element is an iron block.

[0067] With the above-described structure, the iron block and the magnet are magnetically connected, further strengthening the connection between the magnet and the dust cup door and making it less likely to detach. Other magnetic materials, such as magnets, can also be used instead of the iron block.

[0068] Example 8:

[0069] Please see Figures 1 to 7This invention provides a dust cup emptying door structure to prevent magnets from attracting garbage. Based on the above embodiments, this embodiment further improves the following technical solution: The dust cup locking component 14 includes a button 141 and a second spring 142. The button 141 is rotatably connected to a button seat 17 on the dust cup housing 11. The hook 142 is disposed at one end of the button 141, and the second spring 142 is disposed at the other end of the button 141.

[0070] With the above-described structure, pressing the button compresses the second spring, which allows the hook to separate from the slot, making it easier to open the dust cup door.

[0071] Example 9:

[0072] Please see Figures 1 to 7 The present invention provides a dust cup emptying door structure to prevent magnets from attracting garbage. Based on the above embodiments, this embodiment further improves the technical solution as follows: at least one second plate 18 is provided on the base station suction port 2, and the second plate 18 abuts against the button 141.

[0073] With the above structure, the second plate consists of three pieces arranged in parallel to increase strength. The second plate is trapezoidal, which facilitates the movement of the button through the second plate.

[0074] Working principle: When the vacuum cleaner finishes vacuuming and is returned to the base station for recycling, the dust cup housing is inserted into the slot, and the blocking component abuts against the baffle. As the dust cup housing is inserted downward into the slot, the magnet base guide block compresses the first spring and moves upward, thereby pushing the magnet away from the dust cup suction port, which can unlock the dust cup door and prevent iron filings in the dust from being attracted to the magnet. At the same time, the second plate can force the button to rotate and compress the second spring, causing the hook to separate from the slot, thereby unlocking the dust cup door. Then, the negative pressure component in the base station, i.e., the fan, generates suction to suck the dust in the dust cup into the base station. After the vacuum cleaner leaves the base station, the dust cup door is closed. Under the action of the second spring, the hook hooks onto the slot, and the magnet magnetically connects to the dust cup door through the through hole.

[0075] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
