[0032] The “first” and “second” mentioned in the present invention do not represent specific quantities and orders, but are merely used to distinguish names.

[0033] like Figure 1-2 As shown, a cleaning device according to an embodiment includes: a dust collecting assembly 100, a battery assembly 200, a separation mechanism 300, an air suction member 400, a main housing 500, and a post-filter 600. The air suction member 400 is used to draw outside air into the separation mechanism 300; the separation mechanism 300 is used to separate dirt in the air; the dust collecting assembly 100 is used to collect the separated dirt so as to pour out the dirt; and the post-filter 600 is used to filter the air coming out of the air suction member 400.

[0034] like Figure 3-5 As shown, specifically, the dust collecting assembly 100 includes a first dust collecting part 120 provided with a first dust collecting chamber 121; the battery assembly 200 is arranged in the first dust collecting chamber 121; the separation mechanism 300 is connected to the dust collecting assembly 100, and the dust outlet end 301 of the separation mechanism 300 is connected to the first dust collecting chamber 121.

[0035] More specifically, the dust collecting assembly 100 is further provided with an air inlet 112, and the air inlet end of the separation mechanism 300 is connected to the air inlet 112. External air enters the dust collecting assembly 100 through the air inlet 112, and then enters the separation mechanism 300 through the air inlet end 302 of the separation mechanism 300 for gas-dust separation.

[0036] In the above-mentioned cleaning device 10, the battery assembly 200 is arranged in the first dust collecting chamber 121 by utilizing the space of the first dust collecting chamber 121 of the first dust collecting member 120, thereby improving the space utilization rate of the first dust collecting chamber 121. Moreover, by arranging the battery assembly 200 in the first dust collecting chamber 121, compared with arranging a component for installing the battery assembly 200 on the cleaning device 10, the occupied space of the cleaning device 10 can be reduced as a whole.

[0037] like Figure 4-5 As shown, in one embodiment, the dust collecting component 100 also includes a second dust collecting part 110 provided with a second dust collecting chamber 111, the first dust collecting part 120 is arranged in the second dust collecting chamber 111, the battery assembly 200 is arranged in the first dust collecting chamber 121, the second dust collecting part 110 is provided with an air inlet 112 connected to the second dust collecting chamber 111, the air inlet end 302 of the separation mechanism 300 is connected to the second dust collecting chamber 111, and the dust outlet end 301 of the separation mechanism 300 is connected to the first dust collecting chamber 121.

[0038] It should be noted that the air collecting port 112 on the second dust collecting member 110 is the air inlet 112 on the dust collecting assembly 100 .

[0039] Furthermore, the second dust collecting member 110 is also connected to an air inlet pipe 114 , and an air passage of the air inlet pipe 114 is connected to the air inlet port 112 .

[0040] After the outside air enters the second dust collecting chamber 111 through the air inlet 112, it enters the separation mechanism 300 through the air inlet end 302 of the separation mechanism 300 for air-dust separation, and the separated dirty matter enters the first dust collecting chamber 121 through the dust outlet end 301 of the separation mechanism 300. The battery assembly 200 is arranged in the first dust collecting chamber 121, and the internal space of the first dust collecting chamber 121 can be utilized to improve the space utilization rate of the first dust collecting chamber 121.

[0041] Furthermore, the battery assembly 200 includes a battery cover 220 and a battery 210 disposed in the battery cover 220 . The battery cover 220 is used to protect the battery 210 to prevent dirty substances separated from the air from contaminating the battery 210 .

[0042] like Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the dust collecting assembly 100 further includes a bottom cover 113, which is used to seal the openings of the first dust collecting chamber 121 and the second dust collecting chamber 111 at one end away from the separation mechanism 300. The bottom cover 113 can open or close the first dust collecting chamber 121 and the second dust collecting chamber 111 at the same time to facilitate dust removal.

[0043] like Figure 4-5As shown, in one embodiment, the air suction member 400 is connected to the separation mechanism 300, and the air suction end of the air suction member 400 is connected to the air outlet end 303 of the separation mechanism 300, and the air suction member 400 is coaxially arranged with the battery assembly 200. The air suction member 400 is electrically connected to the battery assembly 200, and the battery assembly 200 is used to supply power to the air suction member 400. By making the air suction member 400 and the battery assembly 200 coaxially arranged, the space occupied by the cleaning device in the direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the air suction member 400 can be reduced, making the cleaning device more miniaturized.

[0044] Optionally, the air suction member 400 is an air suction pump, an air suction motor or a negative pressure generating device.

[0045] like Figure 1 , 4 As shown, further, the main shell 500 is connected to the second dust collecting part 110, the separation mechanism 300 is arranged in the main shell 500, the separation mechanism 300 cover is arranged on the first dust collecting part 120, the air inlet end of the separation mechanism 300 is connected to the second dust collecting chamber 111 through the wind groove 122 on the first dust collecting part 120, and the dust outlet end 301 of the separation mechanism 300 is inserted into the first dust collecting chamber 121.

[0046] Furthermore, a handle 510 is provided on the main shell 500, and the handle 510 is provided on the outer wall of the main shell 500. The handle 510 is separated from the battery assembly 200 by the first dust collecting part 120. The heat generated by the battery assembly 200 during operation will not be transferred to the handle 510 excessively, effectively preventing burns.

[0047] In addition, by disposing the battery assembly 200 in the first dust collecting chamber 121, the control board and the battery assembly 200 can be separated by a longer distance, thereby reducing electromagnetic interference.

[0048] like Figure 1 , 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the cleaning device also includes a hood 310, which is connected to the separation mechanism 300, and the exhaust member 400 is arranged in the hood 310. The hood 310 is used to separate the exhaust member 400 from the first dust collecting chamber 121, thereby preventing the dirty matter in the first dust collecting chamber 121 from being sucked into the exhaust fan 400.

[0049] Specifically, the hood 310 is formed with a receiving chamber for receiving the exhaust member 400, the separation mechanism 300 includes a plurality of cyclone separation cones, the plurality of cyclone separation cones form an annular structure, and the dust outlet ends 301 of the plurality of cyclone separation cones extend into the first dust collecting chamber 121, the hood 310 is arranged in the annular structure and connected to at least one cyclone separation cone, the exhaust member 400 is arranged in the hood 310 and is coaxially arranged with the battery assembly 200, and the hood 310 separates the first dust collecting chamber 121 from the receiving chamber. By making the hood 310 separate the first dust collecting chamber 121 from the receiving chamber, after the exhaust member 400 is arranged in the receiving chamber, the hood 310 can separate the exhaust member 400 from the first dust collecting chamber 121, thereby preventing the dirty substances in the first dust collecting chamber 121 from being sucked into the exhaust fan 400.

[0050] More specifically, the hood 310 is arranged opposite to the first dust collecting chamber 121 , the air suction member 400 is arranged in the hood 310 , the hood 310 separates the first dust collecting chamber 121 from the air suction member 400 , and the air suction member 400 is coaxially arranged with the battery assembly 200 .

[0051] like Figure 4-5 As shown, in one embodiment, the cleaning device further includes a filter 700, which is disposed in the second dust collecting chamber 111, and the filter 700 is disposed downstream of the air inlet 112 and upstream of the air inlet end 302 of the separation mechanism 300. After the external air enters the second dust collecting chamber 111 through the air inlet 112, it will continue to pass through the filter 700, and the filter 700 will filter out large particles of dirt in the air and discharge them into the second dust collecting chamber 111. The remaining air with small particles of dirt continues to enter the separation mechanism 300 through the air inlet end 302 of the separation mechanism 300 and is separated again, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the entire cleaning device.

[0052] Further, the filter element 700 is a filter screen, which is sleeved outside the first dust collecting element 120, and a first ventilation channel 701 is formed between the filter screen and the first dust collecting element 120, and the first ventilation channel 701 is connected to the air inlet end 302 of the separation mechanism 300. The filter screen and the inner wall of the second dust collecting element 110 are defined as a cyclone separator. When the air enters the second dust collecting chamber 111 through the air inlet 112, part of the air will rotate along the inner wall of the second dust collecting element 110, perform preliminary separation, and then pass through the filter screen into the first ventilation channel 701, and be filtered by the filter screen. Since the first ventilation channel 701 is formed between the filter screen and the first dust collecting element 120, the air flowing in the first ventilation channel 701 can also dissipate heat to the battery assembly 200 arranged in the first dust collecting chamber 121, and cool the battery assembly 200.

[0053] Furthermore, the cleaning device 10 further comprises a first sealing member 800, one end of which is connected to the filter member 700, and the other end of which is connected to the inner wall of the second dust collecting member 110, and a second ventilation channel 801 communicating with the first ventilation channel 701 is formed between the first sealing member 800 and the first dust collecting member, and the second ventilation channel 801 is communicated with the air inlet end of the separation mechanism 300. In this way, the air flowing through the first ventilation channel 701 will enter the second ventilation channel 801, and then enter the separation mechanism 300 through the air inlet end of the separation mechanism 300 for air-dust separation, which can prevent the wind from the first ventilation channel 701 from infiltrating into the second dust collecting chamber 111.

[0054] Optionally, the first sealing member 800 is a sealing ring, which is sleeved on the outside of the first dust collecting member 120 , and one end of the first sealing member 800 is connected to the filter member 700 , and the other end is connected to the inner wall of the second dust collecting member 110 .

[0055] like Figure 4-5 As shown, in one embodiment, the cleaning device 10 also includes a second seal 810, one end of the second seal 810 is connected to the first dust collecting part 120, and the other end is connected to the separation mechanism 300, and the second seal 810 is used to prevent the wind coming out of the second ventilation channel 801 from entering the separation mechanism 300 from the dust outlet end 301 of the separation mechanism 300.

[0056] Specifically, the second sealing member 810 is a sealing ring, and the dust outlet end 301 of the separation mechanism 300 extends into the first dust collecting chamber 121. One end of the second sealing member 810 is connected to the end face of the first dust collecting member 120 close to the separation mechanism 300, and the other end is connected to the outer wall of the dust outlet end 301 of the separation mechanism 300.

[0057] like Figure 1 , 4 -5, in one embodiment, the post-filter 600 is connected to the separation mechanism 300, and the post-filter 600 is arranged downstream of the air outlet end 303 of the air suction member 400, and the post-filter 600, the air suction member 400 and the battery assembly 200 are arranged coaxially. The post-filter 600 is used to filter the air discharged from the air outlet end 303 of the air suction member 400 again, and the filtered air is then discharged to the outside through the air outlet of the main shell 500, thereby improving the air cleaning effect. In addition, since the post-filter 600, the air suction member 400 and the battery assembly 200 are arranged coaxially, the space occupied by the cleaning equipment in the direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the air suction member 400 can be reduced, making the cleaning equipment more miniaturized.

[0058] An embodiment further relates to a vacuum cleaner, comprising the cleaning device 10 as described above.

[0059] The vacuum cleaner has the cleaning device 10. In the cleaning device 10, the battery assembly 200 is arranged in the first dust collecting cavity 121 by utilizing the space of the first dust collecting cavity 121 of the first dust collecting member 120, thereby improving the space utilization rate of the first dust collecting cavity 121. Moreover, by arranging the battery assembly 200 in the first dust collecting cavity 121, compared with arranging a component for mounting the battery assembly 200 on the cleaning device 10, the occupied space of the cleaning device 10 can be reduced as a whole.

[0060] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0061] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present invention, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the invention patent. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this field, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
