[0093] Under this structural setting, when the dust cup 2 is removed from the first part 11, the dust cup 2 can be rotated toward the first hook 101 first, so that the first positioning part 102 and the second positioning part 202 are separated first, and then rotated until the first hook 101 and the second hook 201 are unhooked, so as to separate the dust cup 2 and the first hook 101 and complete the disassembly of the dust cup 2.

[0094] In addition, the detachable assembly of the dust cup 2 on the first part 11 of the horizontal vacuum cleaner in Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 3 can also adopt the above-mentioned structure.

[0095] Example 5

[0096] refer to Figure 6~Figure 14 In the horizontal vacuum cleaner of Example 2, the second part 12 includes a main body 1201, a wire-receiving pedal 1202 and a balancing rod 1203. The wire-receiving pedal 1202 is linearly movably mounted on the main body 1201, and the wire-receiving pedal 1202 is connected to a return spring 1204, which can facilitate the return of the wire-receiving pedal 1202 on the main body 1201 after use.

[0097] The balance rod 1203 includes a rod body 12031, a first connecting section 12032 and a second connecting section 12033. One end of the rod body 12031 is integrally connected to the first connecting section 12032, and the other end of the rod body 12031 is integrally connected to the second connecting section 12033. The first connecting section 12032 and the second connecting section 12033 are arranged obliquely to the rod body 12031.

[0098] The rod body 12031 is rotatably mounted on the main body 1201 through a support seat, and the wire-receiving pedal 1202 is engaged with the first connecting section 12032 and the second connecting section 12033, so that the movement of the wire-receiving pedal 1202 can correspondingly drive the balance rod 1203 to rotate to a certain extent.

[0099] When the wire-receiving pedal 1202 is pressed and used, the force applied thereto will cause the balance bar 1203 to rotate to a certain extent. The balance bar 1203 can evenly distribute the force applied to the wire-receiving pedal 1202 to avoid serious local warping of the wire-receiving pedal 1202 when it moves.

[0100] In addition, the detachable assembly of the dust cup 2 on the first part 11 of the horizontal vacuum cleaner in Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 3 can also adopt the above-mentioned structure.

[0101] The above are only some embodiments of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the creative concept of the present invention, which all belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
