[0034] The realization, functional features and advantages of the object of the present invention will be further described in conjunction with the embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. Detailed implementation manners

[0035] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0036] It should be noted that all directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back...) in the embodiments of the present invention are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement conditions between components in a specific posture. If the specific posture changes, the directional indications will also change accordingly.

[0037] It should also be noted that when an element is referred to as being "fixed to" or "disposed on" another element, it can be directly on the other element or there may be an intermediate element at the same time. When an element is referred to as being "connected" to another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intermediate element at the same time.

[0038] In addition, in the embodiments of the present invention, the descriptions involving "first", "second", etc. are for descriptive purposes only, and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the quantity of the indicated technical features. Thus, the features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of such features. In addition, the technical solutions between various embodiments may be combined with each other, but it must be based on the ability of those of ordinary skill in the art to implement. When the combination of technical solutions results in contradictions or cannot be implemented, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the present invention.

[0039] In addition, in the embodiments of the present invention, the term "dust" generally refers to dust such as cat hair and dust mixed in the cat litter after being used by a pet cat.

[0040] An existing cleaning system includes a sweeper and a dust collection device. The dust collection device generally provides only two functions: on the one hand, it recovers the dust, hair, etc. in the dust box inside the sweeper, and on the other hand, it charges the sweeper. Specifically, the sweeper automatically travels on the ground, sucks the dust, hair, etc. on the ground into the dust box inside the sweeper. After the dust box is full, the sweeper can automatically navigate back to the dust collection device and discharge the dust in the dust box into the dust collection device; furthermore, when the sweeper needs to charge its internal battery, it will also automatically navigate back to the dust collection device and be charged by the dust collection device.

[0041] In view of this, the present invention provides a dust collection device and a cleaning system. The cleaning system includes a dust collection device. Through the cooperation of a first container, a second container, an air flow generator, and a disinfection mechanism provided in the dust collection device, it can separate and collect the cat hair and dust in the cat litter containing cat hair, dust, and bacteria in the second container, and sterilize, disinfect, and deodorize the cat litter, realizing the reuse of the cat litter, reducing the household cost, and also realizing the expansion of the functions of the dust collection device, which is more conducive to market promotion and sales.

[0042] Such as Figure 1 、 Figure 2As shown in the figure, a dust collection device 100 provided by an embodiment of the present invention includes a main body 10, a first container 11, a second container 12, an air flow generator 13, and a disinfection mechanism 14. The first container 11 and the second container 12 are both disposed in the main body 10. The first container 11 is provided with a first outlet 111, and the second container 12 is provided with a first inlet 121. The first outlet 111 is communicated with the first inlet 121. Among them, the first outlet 111 and / or the first inlet 121 can allow dust 300 to pass through and block cat litter 200 from passing through. The air flow generator 13 is disposed in the main body 10 and is used to generate an air flow, and the air flow can drive the dust 300 to enter the second container 12 through the first outlet 111 and the first inlet 121. The disinfection mechanism 14 is disposed in the main body 10 and is used to sterilize, disinfect, and deodorize the cat litter 200 contained in the first container 11.

[0043] Specifically, the first container 11 is used to contain the cat litter 200. The cat litter 200 can be untreated, that is, after being used by a pet cat, it contains dust 300 such as cat hair, dust, and bacteria, and some of it will also coagulate into lumps due to the excrement of the pet cat; it can also be treated, that is, after the dust 300 is separated by the air flow generator 13 and sterilized, disinfected, and deodorized by the disinfection mechanism 14, it can be used by the pet cat again, which can be specifically judged according to the context description. The second container 12 is used to contain the dust 300 separated from the cat litter 200.

[0044] Currently, the particle diameter of the commonly used cat litter 200 is 1-5 mm, the diameter of cat hair is generally 0.02 mm-0.06 mm, and the diameter of dust is less than 0.5 mm.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 3 、 Figure 4, in some embodiments, the first outlet 111 may be formed by opening a hole on one side of the first container 11, and the cross-section of the first outlet 111 may be circular. In some other embodiments, the cross-section of the first outlet 111 may be square or rectangular (not shown), which is not limited herein. Then, a first filter member that matches the shape of the first outlet 111 is detachably installed at the first outlet 111. The first filter member is provided with the long holes 1110 with a certain distance (such as 0.8-4.8 mm) along one direction or multiple directions, so that only the dust 300 can pass through while blocking the cat litter 200. Therefore, the corresponding first filter member can be selected according to the actual use of the cat litter 200. For example, if the diameter of the selected cat litter 200 is 3 mm, the first filter member with the distance between the long holes less than 3 mm can be selected, and the same can be inferred for other sizes. In the case of using the first filter member, only replacing the first filter member may be required when changing different cat litters 200. Therefore, adopting the form of the first filter member is better in terms of use cost and convenience. The first filter member can be detachably installed at the first outlet 111 by means of snap fasteners, mounting grooves, Velcro, etc., which is not limited herein. Figure 4 Four forms of the first filter member are shown as examples. The first filter member 111a has a plurality of the long holes 1110 opened in the horizontal direction. The first filter member 111b has a plurality of the long holes 1110 opened in the vertical direction. The first filter member 111c has a plurality of the long holes 1110 opened in a crosswise manner in the horizontal and vertical directions. The first filter member 111d has the long holes 1110 opened in a crosswise manner at a certain angle in two directions.

[0046] Please refer to Figure 1 , when the air flow generator 13 works, the air flow is generated, and the air flow drives the cat litter 200 and the dust 300 to move towards the first outlet 111. Since only the dust 300 can pass through the first outlet 111, the cat litter 200 will fall to the bottom of the first container 11 after colliding with the long holes 1110 at the first outlet 111, and the agglomerated cat litter 200 will be scattered and fall to the bottom of the first container 11. The dust 300 will then enter the second container 12 through the first outlet 111 and the first inlet 121 in sequence and be collected in the second container 12, so as to realize the separation of the dust 300 and scatter the agglomerated cat litter 200.

[0047] When the air flow generator 13 is operating, the disinfection mechanism 14 can be activated to sterilize, disinfect, and deodorize the cat litter 200 contained in the first container 11; alternatively, after the air flow generator 13 has completed its operation, the disinfection mechanism 14 can be activated to sterilize, disinfect, and deodorize the cat litter 200 after the dust 300 has been separated. That is, the separation of the dust 300 and the sterilization, disinfection, and deodorization can be carried out simultaneously, or the sterilization and disinfection can be carried out after the separation of the dust 300 is completed, without any restrictions here. The cat litter 200 after the separation of the dust 300 and the sterilization, disinfection, and deodorization can be used by pet cats again, which can reduce the cost of raising pet cats and also expand the functions of the dust collection device 100, facilitating the promotion and sales of the dust collection device 100.

[0048] In some embodiments, the first outlet 111 can also be formed by directly processing long holes 1110 with a certain pitch (such as 0.8 - 4.8 mm) in one or multiple directions on one side of the first container 11, so that only the dust 300 can pass through and the cat litter 200 cannot pass through. An incision is made on one side of the second container 12 to form the first inlet 121, and the first inlet 121 is in communication with the first outlet 111. Therefore, the corresponding first container 11 can be matched according to the actually used cat litter 200. For example, if the diameter of the selected cat litter 200 is 3 mm, a first container 11 with a pitch of the long holes 1110 less than 3 mm is matched, and the same can be inferred for other sizes.

[0049] In some embodiments, the first outlet 111 can allow the cat litter 200 to pass through. A filter element similar to the one that allows the dust 300 to pass through and blocks the cat litter 200 as described above is installed at the first inlet 121. Alternatively, the first inlet 121 can be formed by directly processing long holes 1110 with a certain pitch (such as 0.8 - 4.8 mm) in one or multiple directions on one side of the second container 12, so that only the dust 300 can pass through and the cat litter 200 cannot pass through. There are no restrictions here.

[0050] Furthermore, the first container 11 is detachably disposed on the main body 10 along the first direction Y, and a second filter element for waterproofing and ventilation is provided at the bottom of the first container 11. The first direction Y is the height direction of the main body 10.

[0051] Specifically, an accommodation space (not shown) and a support portion 105 that match the shape of the first container 11 are formed inside the main body 10. The first container 11 is installed in the main body 10 along the height direction. After being fully installed, the support portion 105 can provide support for the first container 11. The first container 11 can be a thin-walled housing, with a space formed inside for accommodating the cat litter 200. An opening is provided at the bottom, and the waterproof and breathable second filter element 112 is installed at the opening at the bottom. The second filter element 112 is installed on the first container 11 in a fixed or detachable manner, which is not limited here. When the first container 11 accommodates the cat litter 200, the moisture contained in the cat litter 200, especially the liquid excrement of the pet cat, will not leak into the main body 10. Additionally, the cat litter 200 is generally relatively light. When the air flow generator 13 operates, the generated air flow enters the first container 11 through the second filter element 112 and acts on the cat litter 200. The cat litter 200 will rise and tumble under the action of the air flow, and the cat litter 200 will collide with the first outlet 111 or the side surface of the first container 11, which is beneficial to break up the agglomerated cat litter 200. Since the diameter of the cat litter 200 is larger than the spacing of the long holes 1110 of the first outlet 111 or the first filter elements 111a, 111b, 111c, 111d, it cannot pass through the first outlet 111 and will fall back to the bottom of the first container 11, while the dust 300 is separated from the cat litter 200 and enters the second container 12. At least in some embodiments, the entire bottom of the first container 11 is an opening, and the second filter element 112 is a waterproof and breathable membrane, which is fixed to the bottom of the first container 11 by hot melt welding. When the entire bottom is an opening, the area where the air flow enters the first container 11 through the waterproof and breathable membrane is enlarged, which is beneficial to the full contact with the cat litter 200 accommodated in the first container 11 and improves the separation effect of the dust 300.

[0052] In some embodiments, the second container 12 is adjacent to the first container 11 along the second direction X. The second direction X is perpendicular to the first direction Y.

[0053] Specifically, the second direction X is the width direction of the main body 10. The second container 12 is adjacent to the first container 11 along the width direction of the main body 10, which is conducive to making full use of the width dimension of the dust collection device 100 and improving the integration degree. The first outlet 111 and the first inlet 121 are respectively arranged on the adjacent sides of the first container 11 and the second container 12, which is conducive to shortening the path of the air flow, thereby also shortening the path length that the dust 300 passes through, and is conducive to the separation of the dust 300. The second container 12 can be integrally formed with the main body 10, that is, the second container 12 is non-removable. It can also be removable. In the case of being removable, the main body 10 is formed with a space for accommodating the second container 12, and the second container 12 is detachably installed on the main body 10. When the second container 12 is full, the dust 300 can be taken out from the second container 12 and poured into a trash can. In some embodiments, the second container 12 is removable. When the second container 12 is filled with the dust 300, as long as the second container 12 is taken out and poured into the trash can, and then reinstalled on the main body 10 after emptying the trash, the operation is more convenient compared to the fixed use mode of the second container 12.

[0054] Please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 6, in some embodiments, a dust bag 123 is detachably mounted at the first inlet 121. The dust bag 123 is a bag-shaped structure with an opening at one end, and includes a dust bag body 1230 and a dust bag mounting portion 1231. The dust bag body 1230 can collect the dust 300 (i.e., prevent the dust 300 from passing through) and allow the air flow to pass through. The material can be cotton cloth, non-woven fabric, microfiber material, HEPA material, etc., which is not limited here. The dust bag mounting portion 1231 is fixedly connected to the dust bag body 1230 and is provided with an opening communicating with the opening of the dust bag body 1230. A corresponding mounting groove (not shown) is formed at the first inlet 121, and the dust bag 123 is detachably mounted at the first inlet 121 through the dust bag mounting portion 1231. In some other embodiments, the installation can be implemented by setting Velcro on the dust bag mounting portion 1231 of the dust bag 123 and the first inlet 121, or by setting matching buckles on the dust bag mounting portion 1231 and the first inlet 121, which is not limited here. When the dust bag 123 is full of the dust 300, the dust bag 123 is detached therefrom, and then a new dust bag 123 is installed at the first inlet 121, or the garbage in the dust bag 123 is poured out and then reinstalled at the first inlet 121. Understandably, the dust bag 123 can be a consumable, which can be purchased separately. It is folded when not in use, occupying little space. When in use, it will expand under the action of the air flow and collect the dust 300. After being full of dust, it is taken out from the second container 12 and thrown into the trash can, which is hygienic and convenient.

[0055] Please refer to Figure 2 , in some embodiments, the dust collection device 100 further includes a first channel 15, which is arranged in the main body 10. The first channel 15 has a first end 151 and a second end 152. The first end 151 is close to the second filter element 112, and the second end 152 is arranged at the bottom of the main body 10.

[0056] Further, the air flow generator 13 is a negative pressure fan, which is adjacent to the second container 12 along the first direction Y. A second outlet 122 is provided at the bottom of the second container 12, and the intake end (not shown) of the negative pressure fan is arranged at the second outlet 122.

[0057] Specifically, the second end 152 of the first channel 15 is used for external communication. The negative pressure fan can be disposed near the second outlet 122, and the second outlet 122 is used for allowing the airflow to pass through and blocking the dust 300 from passing through. During operation, the negative pressure fan sucks away the air near the second outlet 122 and generates a negative pressure inside the second container 12. The external air will enter from the second end 152 of the first channel 15, and then successively pass through the first end 151 of the first channel 15, the second filter element 112, the inside of the first container 11, the first outlet 111, the first inlet 121, and the second outlet 122 to form the airflow. When the cat litter 200 is accommodated in the first container 11, the airflow can act on the cat litter 200. At least in some embodiments, the second outlet 122 is formed by the inward concavity of the second container 12, and the intake end of the negative pressure fan correspondingly extends into the second container 12, which is more conducive to forming a negative pressure inside the second container 12, thereby improving the effect of separating the dust 300.

[0058] The second outlet 122 can be a series of mesh holes that only allow the airflow to pass through, so as to allow the airflow to pass through and block the dust 300. It can also be achieved by opening an opening in the bottom of the second container 12 that matches the shape of the intake end of the negative pressure fan, and then installing a filter net that only allows the airflow to pass through at the second outlet 122 to allow the airflow to pass through and block the dust 300. It can also be achieved by detachably installing a HEPA at the second outlet 122. Here, HEPA stands for High Efficiency Particulate Air Filter, which is a high-efficiency air filter. Its fibers are very fine and intertwined into a complex network structure, which can filter very fine dust 300 particles and allow the air to pass through, thereby preventing fine particles from entering the negative pressure fan. There is no limitation here.

[0059] Please participate Figure 1 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , in some embodiments, the main body 10 further includes a cover body 16 for covering the main body 10. The first container 11 is provided with a first open end 110, and the second container 12 is provided with a second open end 120. When the cover body 16 is closed, the first open end 110 and the second open end 120 are covered.

[0060] Specifically, the cover body 16 is provided with two rotating parts and is rotatably mounted to the main body 10 through the two rotating parts. The cover body 16 can be rotatably covered on one end of the main body 10, facilitating the covering and opening of the cover body 16. The first opening end 110 and the second opening end 120 are respectively opposite to the two filter elements and the second outlet 122. When the cover body 16 is closed, it can cover the first opening end 110 and the second opening end 120. The first opening end 110 and the second opening end 120 can be partially or fully opened at the top of the first container 11 and the second container 12, and there is no limitation here. In at least some embodiments, the first opening end 110 and the second opening end 120 are fully opened. The full opening of the first container 11 is more conducive to the addition and pouring out of the cat litter 200. The full opening of the second opening end 120 is more conducive to the installation and disassembly of the dust bag 123.

[0061] Please refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 7 In some embodiments, the disinfection mechanism 14 includes at least one UV lamp 140 provided on the cover body 16. When the cover body 16 is closed, at least one UV lamp 140 is close to or located at the first opening end 110. The full name of UV is Ultraviolet, that is, ultraviolet light, which can be used for sterilization, disinfection, and deodorization. At least one UV lamp 140 is a lamp that can emit ultraviolet light for sterilization, disinfection, and deodorization.

[0062] Specifically, at least one UV lamp 140 is installed on the cover body 16 and is close to or located at the first opening end 110. During operation, ultraviolet light is emitted downward into the first container 11 from above, thereby sterilizing, disinfecting, and deodorizing the cat litter 200 contained in the first container 11. At least one UV lamp 140 can work simultaneously with the air flow generator 13, that is, separating the dust 300 and sterilizing, disinfecting, and deodorizing the cat litter 200 at the same time. Or after the air flow generator 13 has finished working, that is, after separating the dust 300 from the cat litter 200, at least one UV lamp 140 can be controlled to work to sterilize, disinfect, and deodorize the cat litter 200. By uniformly or non-uniformly arranging multiple groups of UV lamps 140 at the part of the cover body 16 corresponding to the first opening end 110, the sterilization, disinfection, and deodorization effect can be improved. In addition, at least one UV lamp 140 is arranged on the cover body 16, which is convenient for maintenance and installation.

[0063] In some embodiments, the disinfection mechanism 14 includes a high-temperature generating mechanism (not shown), which is disposed on the main body 10 near the first end 151 of the first channel 15. Specifically, the high-temperature generating mechanism may be a heating pipe surrounding the first end 151 of the first channel 15. During operation, it is used to heat the air flow before it enters the first inlet 121, so that the air flow becomes a high-temperature air flow, which acts on the cat litter 200, and can sterilize and disinfect the cat litter 200 while separating the dust 300.

[0064] Please refer to Figure 8 , an embodiment of the present invention further provides a cleaning system 1000, which includes the above-mentioned dust collection device 100 and a floor sweeper 400. The floor sweeper 400 includes a dust box 410, a charging terminal 420, and a dust discharge port 430. When the floor sweeper 400 docks with the dust collection device 100, the dust collection device 100 can charge the floor sweeper 400 through the charging terminal 420 and / or transfer the garbage in the dust box 410 to the dust collection device 100 through the dust discharge port 430.

[0065] Understandably, the floor sweeper 400 relies on the battery inside itself to travel and work on the ground, sucking garbage such as waste paper scraps, hair, and dust on the ground into the dust box 410. When the battery power is insufficient during the working process or the dust box 410 is full (i.e., filled with garbage), it will automatically navigate back to the dust collection device 100 and dock with the dust collection device 100. If the battery of the floor sweeper 400 is insufficient and needs to be charged, the dust collection device 100 will charge the battery of the floor sweeper 400 through the charging terminal 420 with household municipal electricity. If the dust box 410 of the floor sweeper 400 is full, the dust collection device 100 controls the air flow generator 13 to generate air flow, and the garbage in the dust box 410 will be discharged to the dust collection device 100 under the action of the air flow through the dust discharge port 430.

[0066] Next, in combination with Figures 1 to 8 Some embodiments provided by the present invention, the principle of the dust collection device 100 recovering the garbage in the dust box 410 of the floor sweeper 400 and the principle of the dust collection device 100 charging the floor sweeper 400 will be elaborated.

[0067] First, place the dust collection device 100 against the wall on the floor of the living room or bedroom, connect the dust collection device 100 to the socket of the household municipal electricity, and take out and store the first container 11. When used for the first time, it can be connected to the sweeper 400 through the mobile phone APP. Then manually place the sweeper 400 on the dust collection device 100 and dock it with the dust collection device 100, or operate through the mobile phone APP to control the sweeper 400 to dock to the dust collection device 100 and dock with the dust collection device 100. The sweeper 400 will take the position where the dust collection device 100 is located as the initial position of the sweeper 400.

[0068] Then, the sweeper 400 can be controlled to work automatically at a set time through the mobile phone APP. When working, the sweeper 400 will walk on the ground in a preset manner and suck various kinds of garbage such as shredded paper, hair, and dust on the ground into the dust box 410. When the sweeper 400 detects that the dust box 410 is full, the sweeper 400 will automatically navigate back to the position where the dust collection device 100 is placed and dock with the dust collection device 100. The dust discharge port 430 of the sweeper 400 will be docked with the second end 152 of the first channel 15 of the dust collection device 100. The negative pressure fan of the dust collection device 100 works to generate negative pressure in the second container 12, and then generate the air flow. The garbage in the dust box 410 will be discharged from the sweeper 400 through the dust discharge port 430, and then follow the air flow through the first channel 15 and the first inlet 121 to be collected in the dust bag 123. Generally, the capacity of the dust bag 123 is several times or even dozens of times that of the dust box 410. Through the recovery of the garbage in the dust box 410 of the sweeper 400 by the dust collection device 100, it is no longer necessary to frequently take out the dust box 410 from the sweeper 400 and then pour the garbage into the trash can.

[0069] When the sweeper 400 detects that the internal battery power is insufficient or lower than a certain power during work (such as lower than 15% of the total battery capacity, or other values can be set according to needs), the sweeper 400 will automatically navigate back to the dust collection device 100 and dock with the dust collection device 100. Then the dust collection device 100 will charge the battery of the sweeper 400 by using the household municipal electricity through the charging terminal 420. When the battery of the sweeper 400 is fully charged, the dust collection device 100 automatically controls to stop charging the sweeper 400. The sweeper 400 can return to the position where it last cleaned and continue cleaning, or start cleaning again, or continue to dock with the dust collection device 100 without cleaning. The sweeper 400 will also automatically return to the dust collection device 100 to dock after each work is completed.

[0070] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and do not thereby limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structural transformation made under the inventive concept of the present invention by using the content of the specification and drawings of the present invention, or any direct / indirect application in other related technical fields shall be included within the patent protection scope of the present invention.
