Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of bearing assembly, and in particular to a mounting structure and a dust collector. Background Art

[0002] Vacuum cleaners of all styles are available on the market, and nearly all have a roller brush to enhance cleaning performance. Because the roller brush rotates, the end cap (the structure that mates with the roller brush) or the structure that mates with it often incorporates a rotating structure, such as a bearing. Bearings are typically assembled using insert molding (a metal part is embedded in the end cap or the structure that mates with the roller brush to mate with the bearing), or by providing a clearance fit in the end cap and securing the bearing with screws.

[0003] However, this is not convenient and simple enough, resulting in an increase in cost. Therefore, it is necessary to design a bearing installation structure that is convenient for assembly and can meet the requirements of use. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present invention provides a mounting structure and a dust collector to reduce costs and facilitate bearing assembly.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, according to one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a mounting structure comprising: a base; a connecting post disposed on the base, the outer wall of the connecting post being configured to achieve an interference fit with the inner ring of the bearing to be assembled; and a supporting rib disposed on the base, the rib being connected to the connecting post and having a supporting surface configured to support the inner ring; a plurality of supporting ribs disposed around the connecting post, wherein the outer diameter of the connecting post is greater than the inner diameter of the inner ring.

[0006] Furthermore, the outer wall of the connecting column has multiple grooves distributed along its circumference. The bottoms of the grooves are connected to the support ribs in a one-to-one correspondence. This arrangement facilitates fitting the bearing sleeve onto the connecting column. Furthermore, the one-to-one correspondence between the bottoms of the grooves and the support ribs reduces stress concentration at the connection, improves strength, and prevents fracture of the connecting column.

[0007] Furthermore, a first transition fillet is provided at the connection between the bottom of the groove and the top of the support rib, which can further reduce stress concentration and improve the reliability of the mounting structure.

[0008] Furthermore, the upper end of the connecting column has a chamfer, which makes it easier to put the bearing on the connecting column.

[0009] Furthermore, in the axial direction of the connecting column, the connection between the connecting column and the side surface of the supporting rib has a second transition fillet. By providing the second transition fillet, stress concentration can be reduced and the strength of the mounting structure can be improved.

[0010] Furthermore, the mounting structure is an integrally formed structure. Specifically, the mounting structure is made by injection molding, which is easy to manufacture and low in cost.

[0011] Furthermore, the connecting column is a hollow structure. This saves material and allows the connecting column to elastically deform in the radial direction when the bearing is mounted on the connecting column, facilitating bearing assembly.

[0012] Furthermore, the base has a receiving cavity, and the connecting column and the supporting rib are both located in the receiving cavity.

[0013] According to another aspect of the present invention, a vacuum cleaner is provided, comprising the above-mentioned mounting structure.

[0014] Furthermore, the vacuum cleaner also includes a bearing and a roller brush, the inner ring of the bearing cooperates with the mounting structure, and the outer ring of the bearing cooperates with the roller brush.

[0015] The technical solution of the present invention provides a mounting structure comprising a base, a connecting post, and support ribs. The connecting post is disposed on the base, and the outer wall of the connecting post is configured to achieve an interference fit with the inner ring of the bearing to be assembled. The support ribs are disposed on the base and connected to the connecting post. The support ribs have a support surface configured to support the inner ring. Multiple support ribs are provided, and the multiple support ribs are arranged around the connecting post. Using this solution, the connecting post can be securely connected to the bearing through an interference fit, eliminating the need for fasteners such as screws during assembly. The bearing can be supported and axially limited by the multiple support ribs. Compared to the prior art, this mounting structure eliminates the need for screws and inserts, thereby reducing costs and facilitating assembly. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The outer diameter of the connecting post 20 is greater than the inner diameter of the inner ring.

[0025] With this solution, the connecting column 20 securely connects to the bearing through an interference fit, eliminating the need for screws or other fasteners during assembly. Multiple support ribs 30 support and axially limit the bearing. Compared to existing technologies, this mounting structure eliminates the need for screws and inserts, reducing costs and facilitating assembly.

[0026] In this embodiment, the outer wall of the connecting column 20 has multiple grooves 21 distributed along the circumference of the connecting column 20. The bottoms of the grooves 21 are connected to the support ribs 30 in a one-to-one correspondence. Providing multiple grooves 21 facilitates fitting the bearing sleeve onto the connecting column 20. Furthermore, the one-to-one correspondence between the bottoms of the grooves 21 and the support ribs 30 reduces stress concentration at the connection, improves strength, and prevents breakage of the connecting column 20.

[0027] Furthermore, a first transition fillet 22 is provided at the connection between the bottom of the groove 21 and the top of the support rib 30. The first transition fillet 22 can further reduce stress concentration and improve the reliability of the mounting structure.

[0028] In this embodiment, the upper end of the connecting column 20 has a chamfer 23. The chamfer 23 is provided to facilitate the installation of the bearing sleeve on the connecting column 20.

[0029] In this embodiment, in the axial direction of the connecting column 20, the connection between the connecting column 20 and the side surface of the supporting rib 30 has a second transition fillet 24.
