[0021] The present invention will now be further described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams that only illustrate the basic structure of the present invention in a schematic manner, and therefore only show the components related to the present invention.

[0022] Embodiment 1

[0023] like Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, the vacuum cleaner includes a dust cup 5, one end of which is equipped with a driving part 6 for generating negative pressure suction, and the other end is equipped with a bottom cover 52 that can be opened and closed, and the outer side of the dust cup 5 is provided with a return air duct 7 and an inlet air duct 51 connected to the inner cavity of the dust cup 5; the inner side of the driving part 6 is provided with a vacuum motor 61, and the air inlet of the vacuum motor 61 is connected to the return air duct 7 or the inner cavity of the dust cup 5 through the air duct switching component 8, that is, under the action of the air duct switching component 8, the vacuum motor 61 is only connected to the return air duct 7 or one of the inner cavities of the dust cup 5 at the same time.

[0024] When the inlet air duct 51, the inner cavity of the dust cup 5 and the vacuum motor 61 are connected in sequence, an internal air duct of the vacuum cleaner is formed, and the vacuum cleaner can now perform normal dirt suction work independently; when the vacuum motor 61 is connected to the return air duct 7, an external air duct of the vacuum cleaner is formed; and the function of the air duct switching component 8 is to realize the switching between the internal and external air ducts.

[0025] When the vacuum cleaner is used alone, with its internal air duct connected and its external channel closed, the vacuum cleaner can perform normal dirt suction work. When the vacuum cleaner is placed in a cleaning system, with its external air duct connected and its internal air duct closed, the vacuum cleaner can perform self-cleaning work with the assistance of the cleaning system, that is, automatically dump the dirt and garbage accumulated in the dust cup 5.

[0026] The cleaning system includes a base station 1 for placing a vacuum cleaner, the interior of the base station 1 is provided with a dust collecting chamber 11 and a central air duct 12 which are interconnected, and a through hole is provided on the top of the base station 1; when the vacuum cleaner is placed on the base station 1, the upper and lower ends of the return air duct 7 are respectively connected to the air inlet of the vacuum motor 61 and the central air duct 12, and the inner cavity of the dust cup 5 is connected to the dust collecting chamber 11 through the through hole.

[0027] The inlet air duct 51, the inner cavity of the dust cup 5 and the vacuum motor 61 are connected in sequence to form an internal air duct. At this time, the external dirt enters the inner cavity of the dust cup 5 along the inlet air duct 51 along with the air. Under the filtration of the filter components such as the filter net, the dirt is retained in the inner cavity of the dust cup 5, and the air passes through the filter components and is discharged to the external environment upward through the vacuum motor 61.

[0028] The inlet air duct 51, the inner cavity of the dust cup 5, the dust collecting chamber 11, the central air duct 12, the return air duct 7 and the vacuum motor 61 are connected in sequence to form an external air duct. At this time, the vacuum cleaner is placed on the base station 1, and the bottom cover 52 is in an open state; the vacuum motor 61 generates negative pressure suction, and the external clean air enters the inner cavity of the dust cup 5 along the inlet air duct 51, and blows the dirt downward into the dust collecting chamber 11 of the base station 1. A filter component is also provided between the dust collecting chamber 11 and the central air duct 12. Under its action, the dirt is intercepted in the dust collecting chamber 11, and the filtered air is discharged to the external environment along the central air duct 12, the return air duct 7 and the vacuum motor 61 in sequence.

[0029] Among them, a dust bag with good filtering performance can also be put into the dust collecting chamber 11, and all the dirt blown into the dust collecting chamber 11 will enter the dust collecting bag, which can be convenient for unified collection and treatment later.

[0030] The vacuum motor 61 is controlled to communicate with the inner cavity of the dust cup 5 or the return air duct 7 through the air duct switching component 8, and the vacuum cleaner and the base station 1 share a vacuum motor 61, which can reduce the noise generated by the system during operation and the cost of the whole machine.

[0031] Furthermore, two return air ducts 7 and two central air ducts 12 are provided, and one end of the central air duct 12 away from the through hole is connected with the dust collecting chamber 11 from the bottom. The two air ducts are provided to improve the ventilation efficiency of the external air ducts. The central air duct 12 is connected with the dust collecting chamber 11 from the bottom, which can provide a larger space for dust collection in the dust collecting chamber 11, so that there is a larger accommodating space between the air inlet and the air outlet of the dust collecting chamber 11.

[0032] In addition, a support 2 connected to the base station 1 is arranged on the outside of the through hole, the inner side surface of the support 2 corresponds to the outer contour of the dust cup 5, and a second release boss 4 for releasing the bottom cover 52 is arranged on the inner side of the support 2, and a positioning groove 13 for positioning the vacuum cleaner is also provided on the base station 1.

[0033] The connection between the bottom cover 52 and the dust cup 5 adopts the existing common connection method, that is, one end of the bottom cover 52 is rotatably connected to the dust cup 5, and a torsion spring is arranged at the connection, and the other end is snap-connected by a snap structure, and the bottom cover 52 is released after the snap button is pressed; based on this, a second release boss 4 is arranged on the support 2 at a position corresponding to the snap button, and when the vacuum cleaner is placed on the base station 1, the end of the second release boss 4 abuts against the snap button, thereby finally achieving the purpose of releasing the bottom cover 52.

[0034] The purpose of the correspondence between the inner side surface and the outer side contour is to make the connection between the vacuum cleaner and the base station 1 more stably and closely fit; and the positioning groove 13 is used to place the vacuum cleaner pipe and nozzle, and the inlet air duct 51 is located inside the pipe. Under the action of the positioning groove 13, it can be ensured that the position of the vacuum cleaner is consistent each time, and that when the vacuum cleaner is placed on the base station 1, its bottom cover 52 can be released through the second release boss 4.

[0035] Embodiment 2

[0036] On the basis of the first embodiment, the present invention further proposes a specific structure of the air duct switching component 8 .

[0037] like Figure 6-Figure 9 As shown, a bracket 10 is provided between the dust cup 5 and the driving part 6, the bracket 10 is installed at one end of the dust cup 5 close to the driving part 6, and the air duct switching component 8 is located on the inner side of the bracket 10; the bracket 10 is divided into an upper and lower cavity, the lower cavity is used to install filter components such as filter cotton, and the upper cavity is used to install the air duct switching component 8 to realize the switching of internal and external air ducts.

[0038] The air duct switching assembly 8 includes a bottom plate 81 integrally connected to the bracket 10, the bottom plate 81 divides the internal cavity of the bracket 10 into an upper and lower cavity, and a bottom hole 82 connected to the inner cavity of the dust cup 5 is opened on the bottom plate 81, and a sliding sealing plate 83 for closing or connecting the inner cavity and the air inlet is slidably installed above the bottom plate 81, and side sealing plates 87 for closing or connecting the air inlet and the return air duct 7 are arranged on both sides of the sliding sealing plate 83, and the side sealing plates 87 can be raised and lowered along the axial direction of the dust cup 5. The air inlet here refers to the air inlet of the vacuum motor 61.

[0039] Specifically, when the sliding sealing plate 83 moves laterally, it can block or release the bottom hole 82 on the bottom plate 81 by itself, and when the side sealing plate 87 moves vertically, it can block or connect the return air duct 7 and the upper cavity by itself; that is, the inner cavity of the dust cup 5 is connected with the lower cavity, and the lower cavity can be connected with the upper cavity through the bottom hole 82, and the upper cavity is connected with the air inlet of the vacuum motor 61. At the same time, the sliding sealing plate 83 is used to control the opening and closing of the bottom hole 82, and the side sealing plate 87 is used to control the opening and closing between the return air duct 7 and the upper cavity.

[0040] As mentioned above, a guide column 88 parallel to the axis of the bracket 10 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the bracket 10, and the side sealing plate 87 is slidably mounted on the guide column 88, and an inclined guide groove 89 is provided on the side of the side sealing plate 87; a top hole 84 corresponding to the position and number of the bottom hole 82 is provided on the sliding sealing plate 83, and outwardly protruding touch rods 831 are provided on both sides of the sliding sealing plate 83, and the ends of the touch rods 831 are slidably embedded in the guide groove 89; wherein, the bottom plate 81 and the sliding sealing plate 83 are both inclined, and the inclination directions of the bottom plate 81 and the guide groove 89 are opposite, and a second spring is provided on the guide column 88 for resetting the side sealing plate 87.

[0041] Under the limitation of the guide column 88, the side sealing plate 87 can only be raised and lowered along its axial direction. Because the end of the touch rod 831 slides into the guide groove 89, and the sliding sealing plate 83 and the guide groove 89 are inclined in opposite directions; based on this, when the sliding sealing plate 83 slides along the top surface of the bottom plate 81, the side sealing plate 87 can be driven to rise and fall through the touch rod 831.

[0042] In the initial state, the top hole 84 on the sliding sealing plate 83 is aligned with the bottom holes 82 on the bottom plate 81 in sequence, so that the upper and lower cavities of the bracket 10 are connected. At this time, the side sealing plate 87 is in the lower position to separate the upper cavity from the return air duct 7; when the sliding sealing plate 83 moves horizontally along the bottom plate 81 to the position where the top hole 84 and the bottom hole 82 are misaligned, the upper and lower cavities are separated by the sliding sealing plate 83, and the side sealing plate 87 is in the upper position driven by the touch rod 831, and the second spring is in a compressed state, so that the upper cavity and the return air duct 7 are connected.

[0043] Furthermore, one end of the sliding sealing plate 83 is connected to a release button 85, and the other end is provided with a first spring 86 for resetting. One end of the release button 85 passes through the side wall of the bracket 10 and extends to the outside of the dust cup 5. The two ends of the first spring 86 are respectively abutted against the inner wall of the bracket 10 and the sliding sealing plate 83.

[0044] The release button 85 and the sliding sealing plate 83 are connected in one piece. By pressing the release button 85, the sliding sealing plate 83 can be pushed to move; after the button 85 is released, the sliding sealing plate 83 moves a certain distance, and the first spring 86 is compressed to store elastic potential energy; at the same time, driven by the touch rod 831, the side sealing plate 87 moves upward, and the second spring is also compressed, the external air duct is connected, and the internal air duct is closed; after releasing the release button 85, under the elastic force of the first spring 86 and the second spring, the sliding sealing plate 83 and the side sealing plate 87 are reset, the internal air duct is connected, and the external air duct is closed.

[0045] In order to ensure that the bottom hole 82 and the top hole 84 can be misaligned when the sliding sealing plate 83 moves, a limiting rod 832 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the bracket 10, and one end of the sliding sealing plate 83 is provided with a limiting groove 833 parallel to the axis direction of the first spring 86, and one end of the limiting rod 832 is slidably penetrated in the limiting groove 833. There are multiple bottom holes 82 and top holes 84, and they are distributed at equal intervals; the distance that the limiting rod 832 moves relative to the limiting groove 833 is the distance that the sliding sealing plate 83 moves relative to the bottom plate 81.

[0046] In order to ensure the sealing between the bottom plate 81 and the sliding sealing plate 83, a sealing gasket 9 is arranged between the two, and the sealing gasket 9 is provided with avoidance holes corresponding to the positions and numbers of the bottom holes 82, and the sealing gasket 9 is fixedly installed on the top of the bottom plate 81. That is, the avoidance holes and the bottom holes 82 overlap with each other, and the top holes 84 and the avoidance holes and the top holes 84 and the bottom holes 82 have the same relative positions.

[0047] In addition, a first release boss 3 for closing the sliding sealing plate 83 and the bottom plate 81 is provided above the second release boss 4 , and after the first release boss 3 abuts against the release button 85 , the air inlet of the vacuum motor 61 is connected to the return air duct 7 .

[0048] The buckle button and the release button 85 are in the same longitudinal direction of the outside of the dust cup 5. When the vacuum cleaner is placed on the base station 1, the buckle button first contacts the second release boss 4, so that the bottom cover 52 is released and flipped longitudinally, and one end of the bottom cover passes through the through hole and enters the dust collecting chamber 11; then the vacuum cleaner is placed upright, and the release button 85 just abuts against the first release boss 3. Under the restriction of the first release boss 3, the release button 85 is pushed backward, driving the sliding sealing plate 83 to move a certain distance, so that the sliding sealing plate 83 is in a closed state, and the side sealing plate 87 is opened in conjunction, thereby closing the internal channel and opening the external channel. At this time, the vacuum motor 61 of the vacuum cleaner can be started to self-clean the inside of the dust cup 5.

[0049] Working principle: When the handheld vacuum cleaner is not placed in the base station 1 and is used normally alone, the sliding sealing plate 83 is in an open state, the side sealing plate 87 is in a closed state, the bottom cover 52 of the dust cup 5 is closed, and the vacuum motor 61 is working. At this time, the inside of the dust cup 5 is in a negative pressure state, and dust, garbage and other materials are sucked into the dust cup 5 along the inlet air duct 51; When the handheld vacuum cleaner is placed in the base station 1, the release button 85 and the buckle button of the sliding sealing plate 83 and the bottom cover 52 are triggered, causing the sliding sealing plate 83 to close and the linked side sealing plate 87 to open. At this time, the handheld vacuum cleaner is started, and the dust collecting chamber 11 is connected to the central air duct 12. Clean air is sucked in from the inlet air duct 51, and the dirty dust inside is taken away when passing through the dust cup 5. If a dust collecting bag is installed in the dust collecting chamber 11, the air with dust and dirt is finally sucked into the dust collecting bag of the base station 1, and the dirt and dust are retained in the bag. The filtered air is discharged to the external environment through the vacuum motor 61 along the central air duct 12 and the return air duct 7.

[0050] To sum up, the present invention proposes a dual-duct vacuum cleaner self-cleaning system. The vacuum cleaner adopts a dual-duct structure. The vacuum motor 61 of the handheld device realizes the vacuuming function of the handheld device and the cleaning function of the base station 1 for the handheld device dust cup 5. The base station 1 itself does not need an additional vacuum motor 61. The handheld device and the base station 1 only need one vacuum motor 61, which reduces the cost of the whole machine and the noise generated during operation; and the sliding sealing plate 83 and the side sealing plate 87 of the air duct switching assembly 8 and other active structures completely rely on mechanical triggering and structural linkage to realize the switching of the air duct, which is not only stable and reliable, but also low in cost.
