[0036] Please refer to Figures 1-7 , the present invention provides a technical solution: a non-detachable dust cup mounting structure facilitating ash dumping, including: a body 1, a dust cup 2, a slide rail 3, a connecting rod 4, and a filter 6. The dust cup 2 is slidably connected to the body 1 through the slide rail 3. The slide rail 3 is slidably connected to a first chute 11 inside the body 1. One end of the connecting rod 4 is connected to the dust cup 2 through a first connecting seat 41, and the opposite end is connected to the body 1 through a second connecting seat 42. The first connecting seat 41 is fixedly installed in a first mounting groove 21 on the dust cup 2. The second connecting seat 42 is slidably connected to a second mounting groove 12 on the body 1. A receiving groove 22 corresponding to the connecting rod 4 in position is provided on the dust cup 2. A release button 5 is provided at one end of the dust cup 2. The release button 5 is elastically connected to the dust cup 2. A slot corresponding to the release button 5 in position is provided on the body 1. The filter 6 is installed on the top of the dust cup 2 by snap connection or other means. When the vacuum cleaner dumps ash, press the release button 5 to make the top of the release button 5 disengage from the slot on the body 1, and then pull the dust cup 2 outwards, so that the dust cup 2 is completely exposed outside the body 1. The dust cup is restricted by the slide rail 3 and the connecting rod 4 and cannot be separated from the body 1. At this time, the filter 6 on the top of the dust cup 2 can be removed, and then the dust cup 2 and the body 1 are rotated (such as 180 degrees) so that the top opening of the dust cup 2 faces downwards to achieve ash dumping. After the ash dumping is completed, push the dust cup 2 inwards, and the dust cup 2 returns to its position and is locked to the body 1 through the release button 5. At this time, the connecting rod 4 is received between the dust cup 2 and the body 1, specifically in the first mounting groove 21, the second mounting groove 12, and the receiving groove 22.

[0037] A top block 7 is provided on the body 1. The top block 7 is elastically connected to the body 1, and the end of the top block 7 abuts against the surface of the dust cup 2. When the vacuum cleaner is working normally or the dust cup 2 is not pulled out, the top block 7 is held by the dust cup 2 and received inside the body 1. After the release button 5 of the dust cup 2 is unlocked, the top block 7 pops out the dust cup 2 under the action of an elastic member (such as a spring), facilitating ash dumping.

[0038] The end face 71 of the top block 7 is a hemispherical arc surface to prevent the top block 7 from damaging the surface of the dust cup 2.

[0039] A stop block 31 is provided at one end of the slide rail 3. The stop block 31 is slidably connected to the body 1. When the dust cup 2 is pulled out, the stop block 31 abuts against the end face of the first chute 11. At this time, the pulling length of the dust cup 2 is the largest. The setting of the stop block 31 can limit the pulling length of the dust cup 2, so that when the pulling length of the dust cup 2 is the largest, the connecting rod 4 is still in an inclined state, facilitating the return of the connecting rod (when the dust cup 2 returns).

[0040] Two slide rails 3 arranged in parallel are provided at the top of the dust cup 2. The two slide rails 3 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the filter 6, ensuring smooth movement of the dust cup 2 and not affecting the removal of the filter 6.

[0041] An insert 32 is provided at one end of the slide rail 3. The insert 32 is fixedly installed on the dust cup 2. The insert 32 is installed on the dust cup 2 by the method of fixing a metal part with rubber, preventing the slide rail 3 from detaching from the dust cup 2 and improving the structural stability.

[0042] The cross-section of the second connecting seat 42 is in a "T" shape. The second connecting seat 42 includes a connecting ear plate 421 and a mounting substrate 422. The mounting substrate 422 is slidably connected in the second chute 13 on the body 1. The connecting ear plate 421 passes through the bottom surface of the second mounting groove 12 and is hinged to the connecting head 43 of the connecting rod 4. The second chute 13 is located below the bottom surface of the second mounting groove 12. As the connecting rod 4 is pulled, the second connecting seat 42 slides smoothly in the second mounting groove 12 (slides up and down).

[0043] Working principle: When emptying the dust cup of the vacuum cleaner, press the release button so that the top of the release button disengages from the slot on the body. Then pull the dust cup outwards so that the dust cup is completely exposed outside the body. The dust cup is restricted by the slide rail and the connecting rod and cannot be detached from the body. At this time, the filter on the top of the dust cup can be removed. Then rotate the dust cup and the body so that the opening at the top of the dust cup faces downwards to achieve dust emptying. After the dust emptying is completed, push the dust cup inwards. The dust cup returns to its position and is locked on the body through the release button. At this time, the connecting rod is stored between the dust cup and the body, specifically in the space composed of the first installation groove, the second installation groove and the storage groove. There is a top block on the body. The top block is elastically connected to the body, and the end of the top block abuts against the surface of the dust cup. When the vacuum cleaner is working normally or the dust cup is not pulled out, the top block is pushed by the dust cup and stored inside the body. When the dust cup is unlocked from the release button, the top block is pushed out of the dust cup under the action of the elastic component, facilitating dust emptying.

[0044] The above is only the preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, according to the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, makes equivalent replacements or changes, and should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
