Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of cleaning equipment, and in particular to a dust collection and recycling station. Background Art

[0002] The dust collectors on the market now collect dust from sweepers by using a straight-mouthed, high-force suction method, allowing the garbage to be sucked into a sealed garbage bag through the air vents. However, the garbage bags must be individually sealed and breathable, which places high demands on the materials of the garbage bags. The garbage bags in the dust collectors need to be customized, and the cost becomes very high. Because the garbage bags must be breathable, fine dust will also overflow from the garbage bags with the suction and remain in the dust collector, requiring secondary cleaning of the dust collector, which increases the action of cleaning the dust collector.

[0031] In order to make the technical problem solved by the present invention, the technical solution adopted and the technical effect achieved more clearly, the technical solution of the present invention is further explained below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through specific implementation methods.

[0032] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential" and the like indicate orientations or positional relationships based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the referred device or element must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0033] In addition, features defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features, and are used to distinguish and describe features, without distinction of order or importance. In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise specified, "plurality" means two or more.

[0034] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0035] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 8 The specific structure of the dust collection and recycling station according to the embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0036] The present invention discloses a dust collection and recycling station, such as Figure 1-Figure 8 As shown, the dust collection and recycling station includes a shell 1, a cyclone separator 2 and a fan assembly 3. A dust collection channel 102 and a dust collection chamber 101 are defined in the shell 1. The dust inlet 1023 of the dust collection channel 102 can be communicated with the dust box module of the cleaning robot, and the dust outlet 1024 of the dust collection channel 102 is communicated with the dust collection chamber 101. The cyclone separator 2 is arranged in the dust collection chamber 101, and the side wall of the cyclone separator 2 is provided with an air inlet (not marked in the figure), which is communicated with the dust collection channel 102 and the dust collection chamber 101. The cyclone separator 2 is used to separate the garbage sucked from the dust collection channel 102 into the dust collection chamber 101. The fan assembly 3 is arranged in the shell 1, and the fan assembly 3 is communicated with the air outlet (not marked in the figure) of the cyclone separator 2 through the fan channel 103.

[0037] It is understandable that, in actual work, after the cleaning robot is docked with the dust collection and recycling station, the fan assembly 3 is started to generate negative pressure in the dust collection chamber 101, and the garbage in the dust box module of the cleaning robot enters the dust collection chamber 101 with the air flow through the dust collection channel 102, and falls into the dust collection chamber 101 after separation by the cyclone separator 2. The airflow separated from the garbage is discharged by the fan assembly 3 through the air outlet of the cyclone separator 2 and the fan channel 103. Compared with the prior art, the dust collection and recycling station of this embodiment realizes gas-dust separation through the cyclone separator 2, and the garbage bag in the dust collection chamber 101 does not need to be customized separately, nor does it need to be made of breathable materials (such as non-woven fabrics). It only needs to use commonly used garbage bags to be placed in the dust collection chamber 101 for garbage collection. Therefore, the dust collection and recycling station of this embodiment does not need to use special non-woven garbage bags, which reduces the use cost of the dust collection and recycling station. And the use of the cyclone separator 2 to realize gas-dust separation can improve the gas-dust separation effect, can effectively prevent dust from entering the fan assembly 3, and is conducive to maintaining the suction of the fan assembly 3.

[0038] In some embodiments, Figure 5 As shown, the housing 1 includes a body 11 and a cover 12, a dust collecting chamber 101 is defined in the body 11, the cover 12 can be opened and closed and snapped on the open end of the dust collecting chamber 101, and the cyclone separator 2 is fixed to the inner side of the cover 12, and when the cover 12 is in the snapped state, the dust collecting chamber 101 is sealed. It can be understood that the cyclone separator 2 is fixed to the inner side of the cover 12, and the dust collecting chamber 101 is defined in the body 11. When the cover 12 is opened, the open end of the dust collecting chamber 101 is open. At this time, the dust collecting recycling station of this embodiment can be used as an ordinary trash can, and when the cover 12 is snapped, the dust collecting chamber 101 is closed, and the dust collecting recycling station can recycle the garbage in the dust box module of the cleaning robot. Therefore, the dust collecting recycling station of this embodiment can not only be used as a garbage recycling station for the cleaning robot, but also can be used as an ordinary trash can, with a wide range of applications and a good user experience.

[0039] In some specific embodiments, Figure 3-Figure 4As shown, the dust collecting passage 102 includes a first dust collecting passage 1021 and a second dust collecting passage 1022, and the fan passage 103 includes a first fan passage 1031 and a second fan passage 1032. The first dust collecting passage 1021 and the first fan passage 1031 are arranged on the body 11, and the second dust collecting passage 1022 and the second fan passage 1032 are arranged on the cover 12. One end of the second dust collecting passage 1022 faces the side wall of the cyclone separator 2, and one end of the second fan passage 1032 is connected to the air outlet of the cyclone separator 2. When the cover 12 is in a buckled state, the other end of the second dust collecting passage 1022 is connected to one end of the first dust collecting passage 1021, and the second fan passage 1032 is connected to one end of the first fan passage 1031. It is understandable that in the actual dust collection process, the cover 12 is first snapped onto the body 11, and the airflow with garbage enters the cyclone separator 2 through the first dust collection passage 1021 and the second dust collection passage 1022. Large particles of garbage fall into the dust collection chamber 101 under the blockage of the side wall of the cyclone separator 2, and small garbage such as dust will fall into the dust collection chamber 101 after cyclone separation inside the cyclone separator 2, and the clean airflow flows out of the fan through the air outlet of the cyclone separator 2, the second fan passage 1032 and the first fan passage 1031. In this embodiment, the docking of the first dust collection passage 1021 and the second dust collection passage 1022, as well as the docking of the first fan passage 1031 and the second fan passage 1032 only requires the snapping of the cover 12, which is not only convenient for user operation, but also does not require the setting of connecting pipes or airflow joints and other structures in the structure, making the structure of the entire dust collection and recycling station very simple, thereby reducing costs.

[0040] Of course, it is necessary to explain here that, in the present embodiment, the dust collecting channel 102 and the fan channel 103 can be both provided on the main body 11, and the air outlet of the cyclone separator 2 is connected to the fan channel 103 through a connecting pipe. The connecting pipe can be a telescopic hose. In this way, the open end of the dust collecting chamber 101 can also be provided on the peripheral wall of the main body 11 instead of on the top wall of the main body 11, and the corresponding cover body 12 can also be rotatably matched with the side of the main body 11. In other words, in other embodiments, the matching position of the cover body 12 and the main body 11 can have various forms, and is not limited to the scheme that the cover body 12 is rotatably matched above the main body 11.

[0041] In some more specific embodiments, Figure 3As shown, the dust collection and recycling station also includes a dust collection bucket 4, which is placed in the dust collection chamber 101 and is used to store garbage. It is understandable that, according to the foregoing, during the working process, garbage falls back into the dust collection chamber 101. If no detachable garbage bin or garbage bag is provided, the user needs to directly clean the dust collection chamber 101, which is not only complicated to operate but also easy to leave garbage residue in the dust collection chamber 101. In this embodiment, the dust collection bucket 4 is provided in the dust collection chamber 101, and the dust collection bucket 4 only needs to be lifted out during the cleaning process, which is not only simple to operate but also can avoid garbage residue.

[0042] Advantageously, the dust bucket 4 has a rotatable handle, thereby facilitating the user to install or remove the dust bucket 4 .

[0043] Further, the dust collection and recycling station also includes a garbage bag, which is detachably sleeved in the dust collection bucket 4. Thus, when cleaning is required, only the garbage bag needs to be taken out, and there is no need to take out the dust collection bucket 4, which is more convenient to operate.

[0044] Furthermore, if Figure 3 As shown, the bottom wall of the dust collecting chamber 101 is provided with a first through hole, which is communicated with the first fan passage 1031; the bottom wall of the dust collecting bucket 4 is provided with a second through hole 41, which is communicated with the first through hole. It can be understood that in the actual working process, the first through hole and the second through hole 41 are due to the suction of the fan assembly 3, so that the garbage bag will not be sucked up by the suction of the cyclone separator 2, ensuring that the garbage bag can be firmly kept in the dust collecting bucket 4.

[0045] Preferably, the second through holes 41 are evenly distributed around the bottom wall of the dust collecting bucket 4 , so that the garbage bag can fit the dust collecting bucket 4 more closely.

[0046] Preferably, the dust collection and recycling station further comprises a fixing piece, which is sleeved on the upper part of the dust collection bucket 4 to fix the garbage bag in the dust collection bucket 4. Thus, the connection stability between the garbage bag and the dust collection bucket 4 can be improved.

[0047] In some specific embodiments, Figure 6As shown, the cover body 12 includes a cover body 121 and a cover shell 122 buckled on the cover body 121, the cover body 121 includes a support plate 1211, a pipe 1212 and an annular plate 1213, the support plate 1211 is provided with a connecting port 12112 connected to the first fan passage 1031, the support plate 1211 has a protruding portion 12111 protruding toward the cover shell 122, the circumferential surface of the protruding portion 12111 is provided with a dust outlet 1024, the end surface of the protruding portion 12111 is provided with an airflow opening 12113, the pipe 1212 and the protruding portion 12113 are connected to each other. 111 is connected, and the pipe 1212 defines a second dust collecting passage 1022, one end of the pipe 1212 is connected to the first dust collecting passage 1021 (when the cover body 12 is in a snap-fit ​​state), and the other end is connected to the dust outlet 1024, the annular plate 1213 is connected to the support plate 1211 and defines a second fan passage 1032, a part of the annular plate 1213 is connected to the circumferential surface of the protrusion 12111 and is arranged around the connecting port 12112, and the other part is located on the end surface of the protrusion 12111 and is arranged around the airflow flow port 12113.

[0048] It is understandable that since the second dust collecting passage 1022 and the second fan passage 1032 are provided inside the cover body 12, if the cover body 12 is a component, the internal structure of the entire cover body 12 will be very complicated and inconvenient to produce. In the present embodiment, the cover body 12 includes a cover shell 122 and a cover body 121, and the cover shell 122 is buckled on the cover body 121. Since there is no channel on the cover shell 122, the cover shell 122 can be made more beautiful, thereby improving the beauty of the entire dust collection and recycling station. The cover body 121 includes a support plate 1211, a pipe 1212 and an annular plate 1213. The support plate 1211 is a main component. On the one hand, it provides support for the pipe 1212 and the annular plate 1213, and on the other hand, it ensures the matching stability and matching sealing with the cover shell 122 and the cyclone separator 2. The second dust collecting passage 1022 is directly formed as a pipe 1212 formed on the support plate 1211, which not only ensures the connection stability, but also improves the connection sealing. The annular plate 1213 encloses a second fan passage 1032 on the cover body 121 , and has a simple structure and is easy to produce.

[0049] In some specific embodiments, the dust collection and recycling station also includes a driving module and a sensing switch, the driving module is connected to the main body 11, and the output end of the driving module is connected to the cover 12; the sensing switch is electrically connected to the driving module, and the sensing switch is used to control the driving module to realize the opening and closing of the cover 12. It can be understood that in actual use, the sensing switch can sense the user approaching to trigger, or it can be automatically triggered after the cleaning robot is aligned with the dust collection and recycling station, ensuring that when the dust collection and recycling station is used as a trash can, when the user approaches the dust collection and recycling station, the cover 12 can be automatically opened, and it can also ensure that the dust collection and recycling station automatically closes after cooperating with the cleaning robot. Therefore, the dust collection and recycling station of this embodiment has a high degree of intelligence and a good user experience.

[0050] In some embodiments, Figure 4 As shown, the fan assembly 3 further includes a fan cover 31 and a fan duct member 33. The fan cover 31 is buckled on the fan member 32 and cooperates with the body 11. One end of the fan duct member 33 is connected to the fan cover 31, and the other end is connected to the fan channel 103. Compared with the connecting pipe, the hard fan duct member 33 is used to form the flow channel, which avoids the phenomenon that the fan member 32 does not discharge smoothly due to the easy deformation of the connecting pipe.

[0051] In some more preferred embodiments, the fan assembly 3 further includes a fan seal 34, which is sandwiched between the fan cover 31 and the fan member 32, and one end of the fan seal 34 abuts against the fan duct member 33. The fan seal 34 has two functions, the first function is to reduce the noise of the fan member 32 during operation, thereby improving the user experience, and the second function is to ensure the connection sealing between the fan duct member 33 and the fan cover 31.

[0052] In some embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, the dust collection and recycling station also includes a base 5, which can cooperate with the cleaning robot. A U-shaped air duct 51 is arranged inside the base 5. The U-shaped air duct 51 has an outlet 511 and two inlets 512. The outlet 511 is connected to the dust inlet 1023 of the dust collection channel 102, and the two inlets 512 can be connected to the dust box module of the cleaning robot. It can be understood that both inlets 512 of the U-shaped air duct 51 can be connected to the dust box module. During the dust collection process, the garbage in the dust box module can be sucked into the dust collection and recycling station from two places, which improves the dust collection efficiency of the dust collection and recycling station of this embodiment.

[0053] In some embodiments, Figure 3As shown, the cyclone separator 2 includes a pre-filter 21, a cyclone tube assembly 22, a post-filter 23 and a dust box 24. The pre-filter 21 is fixed around the cyclone tube assembly 22, the upper end of the dust box 24 is open and can be detachably fixed to the lower end of the cyclone tube assembly 22, and the post-filter 23 is arranged at the air outlet end of the cyclone tube assembly 22. It can be understood that in the actual working process, after the airflow carrying garbage enters the dust collecting chamber 101, when the airflow passes through the pre-filter 21, the pre-filter 21 can filter the garbage with larger particles, so that the garbage with larger particles falls into the lower part of the dust collecting chamber 101 under the action of gravity. The dust box 24 is used to store the dust filtered by the cyclone tube assembly 22; when it is necessary to clean the dust, just open the dust collecting cover 242 of the dust box 24, which is very convenient to operate. After the cyclone assembly 22 separates the dust, the airflow passing through the rear filter 23 becomes cleaner, which is beneficial to prolonging the service life of the rear filter 23 and prolonging the time for replacing the rear filter 23. The rear filter 23 is used to further filter out dust in the airflow, making the airflow flowing to the fan assembly 3 cleaner, reducing the failure rate of the fan assembly 3 and prolonging the service life of the fan assembly 3.

[0054] In some specific embodiments, Figure 7 As shown, the cyclone tube assembly 22 includes a cyclone bracket 221 and a cyclone member 222. The cyclone bracket 221 is provided with matching grooves 2211 arranged at intervals along its circumferential direction. The matching grooves 2211 are used to install the pre-filter 21. The cyclone bracket 221 also has a plurality of plug-in parts 2213. The cyclone member 222 includes a plurality of cyclone cones 2221. The plurality of cyclone cones 2221 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of plug-in parts 2213. The large end of the cyclone cone 2221 is matched with the plug-in part 2213 and is arranged at intervals with the plug-in part 2213. The cyclone member 222 includes a plurality of cyclone cones 2221 and a support plate 2222. The plurality of cyclone cones 2221 are plugged into the support plate 2222.

[0055] It is understandable that the cyclone bracket 221 can be used as a filter mounting frame for installing the pre-filter 21 while supporting the cyclone member 222, so that the structure of the entire cyclone tube assembly 22 is very simple, which facilitates the production and manufacturing of the cyclone tube assembly 22. It is understandable that in actual use, after the airflow enters the cyclone cone 2221, the garbage falls out from the small end under the action of the cyclone, and the airflow flows out from the large end. The plug-in part 2213 inserted into the large end of the cyclone cone 2221 can make the airflow flow out stably while preventing the garbage from being carried out of the large end by the airflow. On the one hand, the support plate 2222 can integrate multiple cyclone cones 2221 into one component, which facilitates the installation of the cyclone tube assembly 22 and improves the assembly efficiency. On the other hand, the support plate 2222 separates the dust box 24 from the airflow to prevent the dust separated into the dust box 24 from being spun into the cyclone tube assembly 22 again due to the action of the airflow.

[0056] It should be noted that the pre-filter 21, the cyclone tube assembly 22 and the post-filter 23 are detachably connected so that the pre-filter 21 and the post-filter 23 can be disassembled and cleaned after being used for a period of time. The structure is simple and easy to use.

[0057] In some optional embodiments, such as Figure 7 As shown, a cyclone seal 223 is provided between the large end surfaces of the cyclone bracket 221 and the cyclone cone 2221. It can be understood that the additional cyclone seal 223 can ensure that the airflow can only flow out from the other end of the plug-in portion 2213, thereby avoiding the phenomenon of air leakage at the connection part between the cyclone bracket 221 and the cyclone cone 2221, and ensuring that the cyclone tube assembly 22 can stably achieve dust and gas separation.

[0058] In some more specific embodiments, such as Figure 8 As shown, a mounting groove 2212 is provided above the cyclone tube assembly 22, and the post-filter 23 is installed in the mounting groove 2212. The post-filter 23 includes a filter bracket 231 and a filter element 232. The filter bracket 231 is installed in the mounting groove 2212 and is located above the cyclone element 222, and the filter element 232 is installed on the filter bracket 231. It can be understood that, compared with the technical solution in which the post-filter 23 is docked above the cyclone tube assembly 22, the post-filter 23 is installed in the mounting groove 2212 above the cyclone tube assembly 22.
