Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cleaning tool structures, in particular to a cleaning system. Background Art

[0002] Vacuum cleaners can greatly facilitate cleaning work and improve cleaning efficiency. Most existing vacuum cleaners include a brush head, a fan and a collection cup. The fan drives airflow from the brush head into the collection cup, thereby sucking dirt such as dust, hair, and paper scraps and temporarily storing them in the collection cup.

[0003] The dust collection base station is a supporting device for the vacuum cleaner, and the two belong to the same cleaning system. The dust collection base station can provide the vacuum cleaner with functions such as charging and storing dirt. When the vacuum cleaner is connected to the dust collection base station, the cup cover of the collection cup will change from a closed state to an open state, thereby transferring the dirt from the collection cup to the dust collection base station for convenient unified treatment. However, when the vacuum cleaner is separated from the dust collection base station, the cup cover often cannot be transferred from the open state back to the closed state in time, which will cause the dirt remaining in the collection cup to easily spill outside the dust collection base station or onto the ground, affecting the cleaning experience.

[0004] Based on the above, a cleaning system is urgently needed to solve the above technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0034] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper", "lower", "right", etc., are based on the directions or positions shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of description and simplified operation, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation of the present invention. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used to distinguish in the description and have no special meaning.

[0035] The following is based on the attached Figure 1 To Attachment Figure 8 The cleaning system provided by the utility model is introduced. The cleaning system mainly includes a dust collecting base station 2 and a vacuum cleaner 1. The vacuum cleaner 1 is mainly used for cleaning work, while the dust collecting base station 2 provides the functions of charging and storing dirt. It should be noted that the vacuum cleaner 1 discussed in the utility model can be used only for vacuuming, and can also include a variety of cleaning tools such as a floor scrubber with a vacuuming function.

[0036] Specifically, Figure 1 to Figure 2As shown, the vacuum cleaner 1 includes a collection cup 11 and a cup cover 12. One end of the collection cup 11 is provided with an ash discharge port 111 to facilitate the discharge of dirt. The cup cover 12 is rotatably connected to the collection cup 11, and the cup cover 12 can be rotated to a first angle and a second angle respectively, so as to close the ash discharge port 111 at the first angle and open the ash discharge port 111 at the second angle. Exemplarily, in this embodiment, the vacuum cleaner 1 also includes a rotating connecting shaft, and the cup cover 12 is rotatably connected to the collection cup 11 via the rotating connecting shaft.

[0037] In order to ensure that the cup cover 12 can be stably kept in a closed state when the vacuum cleaner 1 is working normally, the vacuum cleaner 1 further includes a locking member 13 and a driving member. The locking member 13 is slidably connected to the outer surface of the collection cup 11, and the driving member can drive the locking member 13 to slide toward the cup cover 12, so that the locking member 13 abuts against the cup cover 12, thereby ensuring that the cup cover 12 is stably kept at the first angle, that is, the state of closing the ash discharge port 111.

[0038] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the dust collecting base station 2 is designed with a cavity 21 for inserting the vacuum cleaner 1, and a blocking member 22 is arranged on the inner wall thereof. When the vacuum cleaner 1 is inserted to a preset depth, the blocking member 22 can push the locking member 13 to slide in the opposite direction, thereby separating the locking member 13 and the cup cover 12, and the cup cover 12 can be rotated to a second angle, thereby releasing the lock on the cup cover 12 and realizing the opening of the ash discharge port 111.

[0039] When using, refer to Figure 1 As shown, exemplarily, in the process of inserting the vacuum cleaner 1 into the dust collecting base station 2, the locking member 13 can be kept in the state of abutting the cup cover 12 under the action of the driving member, so that the cup cover 12 is fixed at the first angle, avoiding the spillage of dirt when the vacuum cleaner 1 and the dust collecting base station 2 are not connected. Subsequently, when the vacuum cleaner 1 reaches the preset depth, the blocking member 22 abuts against the locking member 13, and as the insertion depth of the vacuum cleaner 1 increases, the blocking member 22 can push the locking member 13 away from the cup cover 12, so that the cup cover 12 can rotate from the first angle to the second angle, that is, the ash discharge port 111 changes from closed to open, and the dirt is transferred from the collection cup 11 to the dust collecting base station 2. After the transfer is completed, as the insertion depth of the vacuum cleaner 1 decreases, the locking member 13 will slide toward the cup cover 12 under the action of the driving member, pushing the cup cover 12 to rotate from the second angle to the first angle. It can be understood that when the depth gradually decreases to a preset depth, the blocking member 22 separates from the locking member 13, and under the action of the locking member 13 and the driving member, the cup cover 12 returns to the first angle, thereby closing the ash discharge port 111, thereby preventing dirt from being spilled outside the dust collecting base station 2 and on the ground.

[0040] This cleaning system not only effectively avoids the leakage of dirt caused by the cup cover 12 not being able to be closed quickly and timely, ensures the cleanliness of the outside of the dust collecting station 2 and the ground, and guarantees the cleaning experience and cleaning efficiency, but also has a simple structure, which is convenient for reducing the weight of the vacuum cleaner 1, and is particularly beneficial to the cleaning work of the handheld vacuum cleaner 1. At the same time, the process in which the blocking member 22 deduces the locking member 13 and resists the driving member provides a certain buffer damping for the insertion of the vacuum cleaner 1 into the dust collecting station 2, which can guide the insertion direction and buffer the effect, which not only improves the cleaning experience, but also reduces the impact on the dust collecting station 2 and prolongs the service life of the equipment.

[0041] Optionally, refer to Figure 2 , Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the driving member is an elastic member. One end of the elastic member is fixedly connected to the collection cup 11, and the other end is in transmission connection with the locking member 13. The use of such an elastic member brings multiple advantages. First, the elastic member provides a stable driving force to ensure that the locking member 13 can reliably lock the cup cover 12 to prevent dirt from leaking during the operation of the vacuum cleaner 1. Secondly, the elastic properties of the elastic member enable the locking member 13 to have a certain buffer when subjected to external force, thereby adaptively providing buffer damping when inserted into the dust collection base station 2. Finally, the use of an elastic member as a driving member also simplifies the overall mechanical structure, reduces manufacturing costs, and improves the reliability and durability of the system.

[0042] Optionally, in some embodiments, the driving member is a motor. The motor is connected to the locking member 13 through a transmission mechanism to provide power for the sliding of the locking member 13. The advantage of using a motor as a driving member is that the driving force it provides is more stable and controllable. Through the forward and reverse rotation of the motor, the movement of the locking member 13 can be accurately controlled to achieve the locking and unlocking of the cup cover 12. In addition, the motor can also be connected to the control system of the vacuum cleaner 1 to achieve automatic control. For example, when the vacuum cleaner 1 is inserted into the dust collection base station 2, the control system can automatically control the motor to reverse and unlock the cup cover 12; when the vacuum cleaner 1 is unplugged from the dust collection base station 2, the control system can automatically control the motor to rotate forward and lock the cup cover 12. This automatic control not only improves the convenience of operation, but also further enhances the user experience.

[0043] Preferably, if Figures 5 to 7As shown, the locking member 13 is designed with a receiving groove 131, and the elastic member is a spring, which is accommodated in the receiving groove 131 in a compressed state. The outer surface of the collection cup 11 is provided with a first fixing structure 16, and the inner wall of the receiving groove 131 is provided with a second fixing structure 134. One end of the spring is fixedly connected to the first fixing structure 16, and the other end is fixedly connected to the second fixing structure 134. Under the elastic force of the spring, the locking member 13 can be pushed in the direction toward the cup cover 12. At the same time, the spring is located between the locking member 13 and the collection cup 11, so that the locking member 13 has a certain protection and limiting effect on the spring, which can not only prevent it from being damaged by external factors, but also ensure that the spring can provide a stable and uniform elastic force between the locking member 13 and the collection cup 11, thereby ensuring the stable sliding of the locking member 13.

[0044] like Figure 5 , Figure 8 As shown, at least one slide rail 14 is disposed on the outer surface of the collection cup 11, and at least one slide groove 132 is correspondingly disposed on the locking member 13. The slide groove 132 is buckled with the slide rail 14 and slidably connected to the slide rail 14 to limit the sliding direction of the locking member 13 so that it can slide in the direction toward the cup cover 12. Such a structural design not only ensures the stability and accuracy of the sliding of the locking member 13, but also greatly enhances the durability and reliability of the overall mechanism.

[0045] Alternatively, if Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown, the locking member 13 is provided with a first stop structure, and the outer surface of the collecting cup 11 is provided with a second stop structure. The limited sliding connection between the two effectively limits the sliding distance of the locking member 13, so that the locking member 13 can be stably slidably installed on the collecting cup 11. Exemplarily, the first stop structure includes a limit groove 133, and the second stop structure includes a limit protrusion 15. One end of the limit protrusion 15 is fixedly connected to the collecting cup 11, and the other end is inserted into the limit groove 133 and can slide along the inner wall of the limit groove 133. Such a design not only realizes the precise control of the sliding distance of the locking member 13, but also simplifies the overall mechanical structure and improves production efficiency.

[0046] Optionally, in some other embodiments, a stop structure may be provided on any one of the slide rail 14 or the slide groove 132, so as to control the sliding distance of the locking member 13 and prevent the locking member 13 from being separated from the collection cup 11. The stop structure includes but is not limited to a buckle limit structure, a protrusion limit structure, etc., which is not specifically limited in the present invention.

[0047] Continue to refer to Figure 2 , Figure 7As shown, a first abutting portion 134 is provided at one end of the locking member 13 close to the cup cover 12, and a second abutting portion 121 is provided on the cup cover 12. When the cup cover 12 is located between the first angle and the second angle, the first abutting portion 134 can abut against the second abutting portion 121 under the drive of the driving member, so that the cup cover 12 rotates toward the first angle, ensuring that the cup cover 12 can close the ash discharge port 111 in time when needed, especially when separated from the dust collecting base station 2, to prevent leakage of dirt.

[0048] Optionally, at least a portion of the blocking member 22 protrudes from the inner wall of the cavity to facilitate pushing the locking member 13. Of course, in some embodiments, the blocking member 22 may also be recessed in or parallel to the inner wall of the cavity, and the locking member 13 is inserted into the inner wall of the cavity and abuts against the blocking member 22, or rubs against the blocking member 22. These methods can also achieve pushing of the locking member 13 and are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0049] Alternatively, if Figure 1 As shown, the inner wall of the cavity 21 of the dust collecting station 2 is designed with a receiving recess 23. When the cup cover 12 opens the ash discharge port 111, the receiving recess 23 can accommodate the second abutting portion 121, thereby preventing the second abutting portion 121 from abutting against the inner wall of the cavity 21 during the rotation process and limiting the rotation angle of the cup cover 12, for example, causing the cup cover 12 to be unable to rotate to the second angle.

[0050] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, after being inserted to a preset depth, the cup cover 12 can be opened by rotating under the action of gravity, or by other external forces such as negative pressure. Exemplarily, the dust collecting base station 2 is provided with a fan, and in the process of using the fan to absorb and transfer the dirt in the collection cup 11, the cup cover 12 is driven to rotate and open by negative pressure. In the present utility model, there is no specific limitation on the direction in which the vacuum cleaner 1 is inserted into the dust collecting base station 2. It can be inserted from top to bottom, obliquely downward, horizontally, or even from bottom to top, obliquely upward. These can not affect the normal opening of the cup cover 12 and the transfer of dirt, and all belong to the scope of protection of the present utility model. Therefore, the direction shown in the accompanying drawings cannot be regarded as a specific limitation on the use direction, insertion direction or setting direction of the vacuum cleaner 1 and the dust collecting base station 2.

[0051] Preferably, in this embodiment, the vacuum cleaner 1 further comprises a torsion spring, which is transmission-connected between the cup cover 12 and the collection cup 11, and can drive the cup cover 12 to rotate to the first angle. Exemplarily, the torsion spring is sleeved on the rotating connecting shaft, and one end is connected to the collection cup 11, and the other end is connected to the cup cover 12. The torsion spring can facilitate the cup cover 12 to rotate to the first angle, and further provide elastic force to keep the cup cover 12 at the first angle when the cup cover 12 is at the first angle, thereby ensuring the tight closure of the ash discharge port 111 and avoiding the leakage of dirt.

[0052] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for the purpose of clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the implementation methods of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, various obvious changes, readjustments and substitutions can be made without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention. It is not necessary and impossible to list all implementation methods here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included in the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
