Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of household appliance technology, and more specifically to cleaning equipment. Background Technology

[0002] A mite remover is a household cleaning product primarily used to remove dust and mites from household items and to disinfect them, providing a more suitable living environment for humans. The dust cup of a mite remover uses a dual-cup design, with one side serving as a separation chamber and the other as a dust collection chamber. Dust is concentrated in the dust collection chamber, and the dust cup needs to be cleaned after each use. Because dust and mites are small, cleaning the dust cup is time-consuming and laborious, resulting in a poor user experience.

[0003] The related technology discloses an easy-to-clean mite remover and its cleaning base. The cleaning base is equipped with a dust collection motor. When the dust collection motor works, it can suck open the dust outlet cover of the mite remover, so that the dust mite debris in the dust cup can be sucked into the dust bag of the dust collection chamber.

[0004] The aforementioned technologies require the installation of a dust collection motor on the cleaning base, which increases costs. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a cleaning device to solve the problem that cleaning dust from the dust cup requires the installation of a dust collection motor on the cleaning base, which increases costs.

[0006] This invention provides a cleaning device, comprising:

[0007] Main components, including the fan;

[0008] A dust cup assembly is provided on the main body assembly, including a dust cup body, the dust cup body having a dust collection chamber and a separation chamber, the separation chamber having a dust cup air inlet;

[0009] The base station is equipped with a dust bag and a base station air duct, wherein the base station air duct is connected to the dust bag;

[0010] When the main component leaves the base station for cleaning, the fan generates suction, and the airflow enters the separation chamber through the dust cup inlet. After being separated in the separation chamber, it is sucked in by the fan.

[0011] When the main component is installed in the base station, the dust collection chamber is connected to the dust bag, and the fan generates suction through the base station air duct to allow the dust in the dust collection chamber to enter the dust bag.

[0012] Beneficial effects: When the main component leaves the base station for cleaning, the fan generates suction, and the airflow enters the separation chamber through the dust cup inlet. After separation in the separation chamber, the air is sucked in by the fan. When the main component is placed back on the base station after cleaning, the dust collection chamber is connected to the dust bag. The fan generates suction through the base station's air duct to draw the dust in the dust collection chamber into the dust bag. Therefore, this cleaning device can perform dust collection during the cleaning process and collect the dust in the dust collection chamber into the dust bag of the base station after cleaning with a single fan, reducing the user's workload and saving costs.

[0013] In one optional embodiment, the dust cup assembly includes a dust cup cover disposed on the dust cup body, having a first dust collection side connection port and a dust collection side air inlet pipe corresponding to the dust collection chamber, the end of the dust collection side air inlet pipe having a second dust collection side connection port, the dust cup cover also having a first separation side connection port, a second separation side connection port, and a separation side air inlet pipe corresponding to the separation chamber, the end of the separation side air inlet pipe having a third separation side connection port;

[0014] The dust collection side air inlet pipe is provided with a dust collection side sealing assembly, which has a first sealing position for closing the second connection port on the dust collection side and a first opening position for opening the second connection port on the dust collection side. The separation side air inlet pipe is provided with a separation side sealing assembly, which has a second sealing position for closing the third connection port on the separation side and a second opening position for opening the third connection port on the separation side.

[0015] The dust bag is provided with a dust collection side top rod on one side, and one end of the base station air duct is connected to the dust bag, while the other end is provided with a separation side top rod.

[0016] When the main component leaves the base station, the dust collection side sealing component is in the first sealing position, the separation side sealing component is in the second sealing position, and the dust cup inlet, the separation chamber, the separation side first connecting port, the separation side air inlet pipe, and the separation side second connecting port form a dust suction duct that is connected to the fan.

[0017] When the main component is installed in the base station, the dust collection side push rod drives the dust collection side sealing component to move to the first open position, and the separation side push rod drives the separation side sealing component to move to the second open position. The separation chamber, the dust collection chamber, the dust collection side first connecting port, the dust collection side air inlet pipe, the dust collection side second connecting port, the dust bag, the base station air duct, the separation side third connecting port, and the separation side second connecting port form a dust collection air duct that is connected to the fan.

[0018] Beneficial effects: When the main component leaves the base station, the dust collection side sealing component is in the first sealing position and the separation side sealing component is in the second sealing position. During cleaning, the fan generates suction. The dust cup inlet, separation chamber, separation side first connecting port, separation side air inlet pipe, and separation side second connecting port form a dust suction duct connected to the fan. Dust enters the separation chamber through the dust cup inlet. After separation in the separation chamber, the dust is thrown into the dust collection chamber. Clean air is drawn in by the fan through the separation side first connecting port, separation side air inlet pipe, and separation side second connecting port. After cleaning, when the main components are installed on the base station, the dust collection side push rod on the base station drives the dust collection side sealing assembly to the first open position, and the separation side push rod drives the separation side sealing assembly to the second open position. The separation chamber, dust collection chamber, dust collection side first connecting port, dust collection side air inlet pipe, dust collection side second connecting port, dust bag, base station air duct, separation side third connecting port, and separation side second connecting port form a dust collection air duct connected to the fan. The fan generates suction, and dust in the dust collection chamber enters the dust bag through the dust collection side first connecting port, dust collection side air inlet pipe, and dust collection side second connecting port. The dust is collected in the dust bag, and clean air is drawn into the fan through the base station air duct, separation side third connecting port, and separation side second connecting port. Therefore, this cleaning equipment can achieve dust suction during the cleaning process and collect dust from the dust collection chamber into the dust bag of the base station after cleaning with a single fan, reducing user workload and saving costs.

[0019] In one optional embodiment, the end of the dust-collecting side air inlet pipe away from the second dust-collecting side connection port is closed, and the first dust-collecting side connection port is offset from the dust-collecting side air inlet pipe.

[0020] In one optional embodiment, the wall of the dust collection side air inlet pipe is provided with a first opening, the first connecting port on the dust collection side is connected to the first opening through a first connecting pipe, and when the dust collection side sealing assembly is in the first open position, the second connecting port on the dust collection side is connected to the first opening.

[0021] Beneficial effects: When the dust collection side sealing assembly is in the first sealed position, the first connecting port and the first opening on the dust collection side are connected through the first connecting pipe. However, when the main assembly is being cleaned, the dust collection side air inlet pipe is not subject to suction, so dust in the dust collection chamber will not enter the first connecting pipe through the first connecting port on the dust collection side, and thus will not enter the dust collection side air inlet pipe. When the dust collection side sealing assembly is in the first open position, the second connecting port on the dust collection side is connected to the first opening. At this time, when the fan generates suction, the base station air duct is subject to suction, and dust in the dust collection chamber enters the dust bag through the first connecting port on the dust collection side, the first connecting pipe, the dust collection side air inlet pipe, and the second connecting port on the dust collection side, where the dust is collected.

[0022] In one optional embodiment, the first connection port on the separation side is located at the end of the separation side air inlet pipe away from the third connection port on the separation side, the pipe wall of the separation side air inlet pipe is provided with a second opening, the second connection port on the separation side is connected to the second opening through a second connecting pipe, and when the separation side sealing assembly is in the second open position, the first connection port on the separation side and the second opening are blocked from communication by the separation side sealing assembly.

[0023] Beneficial effects: By placing the first connection port on the separation side at the end of the separation side air inlet pipe away from the third connection port on the separation side, when the separation side sealing assembly is in the second sealed position, the first connection port on the separation side is connected to the second connection port on the separation side through the separation side air inlet pipe, the second opening, and the second connecting pipe. When the main assembly is being cleaned, dust enters the separation chamber through the dust cup inlet. After separation in the separation chamber, the dust is thrown into the dust collection chamber, and clean air is drawn in by the fan through the first connection port on the separation side, the separation side air inlet pipe, the second opening, the second connecting pipe, and the second connection port on the separation side. When the main assembly is placed on the base station after cleaning, the separation side top rod on the base station drives the separation side sealing assembly to the second open position, blocking the connection between the first connection port and the second opening on the separation side. At this time, the base station air duct is connected to the fan through the separation side top rod, the third connection port on the separation side, the second opening, the second connecting pipe, and the second connection port on the separation side. The suction force generated by the fan acts on the base station air duct.

[0024] In one optional embodiment, the dust collection side sealing assembly includes a first sealing ring assembly and a first spring, the first spring being disposed between the first sealing ring assembly and the dust collection side air inlet pipe, and when the dust collection side sealing assembly is in the first sealing position, the first sealing ring assembly seals the dust collection side second communication port;

[0025] The separation-side sealing assembly includes a second sealing ring assembly and a second spring. The second spring is disposed between the second sealing ring assembly and the separation-side air inlet pipe. When the separation-side sealing assembly is in the second sealing position, the second sealing ring assembly seals the separation-side third communication port.

[0026] Beneficial effects: The dust collection side sealing assembly includes a first sealing ring assembly and a first spring. The first spring is located between the first sealing ring assembly and the dust collection side air inlet pipe. When the dust collection side sealing assembly is in the first sealing position, the first sealing ring assembly seals the second connection port on the dust collection side. When the main body assembly is placed on the base station, the dust collection side push rod on the base station can push the first sealing ring assembly to open the second connection port on the dust collection side. During the movement of the first sealing ring assembly, the first spring is compressed. Therefore, when the main body assembly leaves the cleaning equipment, the first spring can cause the first sealing ring assembly to automatically reset. The separation side sealing assembly includes a second sealing ring assembly and a second spring. The second spring is located between the second sealing ring assembly and the separation side air inlet pipe. When the separation side sealing assembly is in the second sealing position, the second sealing ring assembly seals the third connection port on the separation side. When the main body assembly is placed on the base station, the separation side push rod on the base station can push the second sealing ring assembly to open the third connection port on the separation side. During the movement of the second sealing ring assembly, the second spring is compressed. Therefore, when the main body assembly leaves the cleaning equipment, the second spring can cause the second sealing ring assembly to automatically reset.

[0027] In one alternative embodiment, the first sealing ring assembly and / or the second sealing ring assembly includes:

[0028] The support frame is provided with a sealing ring mounting groove;

[0034] The end of the air inlet pipe on the separation side away from the third communication port on the separation side is provided with a second spring limiting part, and one end of the second spring is limited to the second spring limiting part.

[0035] Beneficial effects: By setting a first spring limiting part at the end of the dust collection side air inlet pipe away from the second connection port on the dust collection side, it is convenient to position the installation of the first spring; by setting a second spring limiting part at the end of the separation side air inlet pipe away from the third connection port on the separation side, it is convenient to position the installation of the second spring.

[0036] In one optional embodiment, a sealing rib is provided at the second connection port on the dust collection side and / or the third connection port on the separation side, and the sealing ring abuts against the side of the sealing rib away from the second connection port on the dust collection side or the side away from the third connection port on the separation side.

[0037] Beneficial effects: By setting sealing ribs, the sealing ring abuts against the side of the sealing rib away from the second connection port on the dust collection side or the side away from the third connection port on the separation side. The sealing ribs can prevent the first sealing ring assembly from falling from the air inlet pipe on the dust collection side or prevent the second sealing ring assembly from falling from the air inlet pipe on the separation side.

[0038] In one optional embodiment, a sealing rib is provided at the second connection port on the dust collection side, and a guide slope is provided on the side of the sealing rib facing away from the second connection port on the dust collection side.

Therefore, this cleaning device can perform dust suction during the cleaning process and collect the dust in the dust collection chamber 3011 into the dust bag 401 of the base station 4 after cleaning by using a single fan 2, reducing user workload and saving costs.

[0074] In one specific embodiment, the dust collection chamber 3011 and the separation chamber 3012 are connected by a connecting channel 3015.

[0075] In one specific embodiment, a filter 3014 is provided inside the separation chamber 3012.

[0076] It should be noted that the main component 1 is equipped with an air duct. During cleaning, the fan 2 generates suction, allowing dust to flow along the air duct inside the main component 1, and then enter the separation chamber 3012 through the dust cup inlet 3013. The air duct inside the main component 1 is a mature technology and will not be described in detail in this embodiment.

[0077] In one specific embodiment, the second connection port 3025 on the separation side is connected to the fan 2.

[0078] In one embodiment, the dust cup cover 302 and the dust cup body 301 are detachably configured, allowing the user to empty the dust from the dust collection chamber 3011.

[0079] In one embodiment, the end of the dust collection side air inlet pipe 3022 that is away from the dust collection side second connection port 3023 is closed, and the dust collection side first connection port 3021 is offset from the dust collection side air inlet pipe 3022.

[0080] Specifically, the dust cup cover 302 includes a cover body 3020, and a first connecting port 3021 on the dust collection side is provided on the side of the cover body 3020 facing the dust collection chamber 3011. Figure 7 The image shows that the dust collection side air inlet pipe 3022 passes through the cover 3020, and the end of the dust collection side air inlet pipe 3022 opposite to the dust collection chamber 3011 is closed. The first connecting port 3021 on the dust collection side is located on one side of the dust collection side air inlet pipe 3022.

[0081] In one embodiment, the wall of the dust collection side air inlet pipe 3022 is provided with a first opening 30221, and the dust collection side first communication port 3021 is connected to the first opening 30221 through a first connecting pipe 3028. When the dust collection side sealing assembly is in the first open position, the dust collection side second communication port 3023 is connected to the first opening 30221.

[0082] In this embodiment, when the dust collection side sealing assembly is in the first sealed position, the first connecting port 3021 and the first opening 30221 on the dust collection side are connected through the first connecting pipe 3028. However, when the main body assembly 1 is cleaning, the dust collection side air inlet pipe 3022 is not subject to suction. Therefore, the dust in the dust collection chamber 3011 will not enter the first connecting pipe 3028 through the first connecting port 3021 on the dust collection side, and thus will not enter the dust collection side air inlet pipe 3022. When the dust collection side sealing assembly is in the first open position, the second connecting port 3023 on the dust collection side is connected to the first opening 30221. At this time, when the fan 2 generates suction, the base station air duct 402 is subject to suction, and the dust in the dust collection chamber 3011 enters the dust bag 401 through the first connecting port 3021, the first connecting pipe 3028, the dust collection side air inlet pipe 3022, and the second connecting port 3023 on the dust collection side, and the dust is collected in the dust bag 401.

[0083] In one embodiment, the first connection port 3024 on the separation side is located at the end of the separation side air inlet pipe 3026 away from the third connection port 3027 on the separation side. The pipe wall of the separation side air inlet pipe 3026 is provided with a second opening 30261. The second connection port 3025 on the separation side and the second opening 30261 are connected by a second connecting pipe 3029. When the separation side sealing assembly is in the second open position, the first connection port 3024 on the separation side and the second opening 30261 on the separation side are blocked from communication by the separation side sealing assembly.

[0084] In this embodiment, by setting the first connection port 3024 on the separation side at the end of the separation side air inlet pipe 3026 away from the third connection port 3027 on the separation side, when the separation side sealing assembly is in the second sealing position, the first connection port 3024 on the separation side is connected to the second connection port 3025 on the separation side through the separation side air inlet pipe 3026, the second opening 30261, and the second connecting pipe 3029. When the main component 1 is cleaning, dust enters the separation chamber 3012 through the dust cup air inlet 3013. After separation in the separation chamber 3012, the dust is thrown into the dust collection chamber 3011. Clean air is drawn in by the fan 2 through the first connection port 3024 on the separation side, the separation side air inlet pipe 3026, the second opening 30261, the second connecting pipe 3029, and the second connection port 3025 on the separation side. When the main component 1 is placed on the base station 4 after cleaning, the separation side top rod 404 on the base station 4 drives the separation side sealing component to the second open position. At this time, the separation side first connection port 3024 and the second opening 30261 are blocked from communication by the separation side sealing component. At this time, the base station air duct 402 is connected to the fan 2 through the separation side top rod 404, the separation side third connection port 3027, the second opening 30261, the second connecting pipe 3029, and the separation side second connection port 3025. The suction force generated by the fan 2 acts on the base station air duct 402.

[0085] In one embodiment, the dust collection side sealing assembly includes a first sealing ring assembly 303 and a first spring 304. The first spring 304 is disposed between the first sealing ring assembly 303 and the dust collection side air inlet pipe 3022. When the dust collection side sealing assembly is in the first sealing position, the first sealing ring assembly 303 seals the second connecting port 3023 on the dust collection side. The separation side sealing assembly includes a second sealing ring assembly 305 and a second spring 306. The second spring 306 is disposed between the second sealing ring assembly 305 and the separation side air inlet pipe 3026. When the separation side sealing assembly is in the second sealing position, the second sealing ring assembly 305 seals the third connecting port 3027 on the separation side.

[0086] In this embodiment, the dust collection side sealing assembly includes a first sealing ring assembly 303 and a first spring 304. The first spring 304 is disposed between the first sealing ring assembly 303 and the dust collection side air inlet pipe 3022. When the dust collection side sealing assembly is in the first sealing position, the first sealing ring assembly 303 seals the dust collection side second connection port 3023. When the main body assembly 1 is placed on the base station 4, the dust collection side push rod 403 on the base station 4 can push the first sealing ring assembly 303 to open the dust collection side second connection port 3023. During the movement of the first sealing ring assembly 303, the first spring 304 is compressed. Therefore, when the main body assembly 1 leaves the cleaning equipment, the first spring 304 can make the first sealing ring assembly 303 automatically reset. The separation-side sealing assembly includes a second sealing ring assembly 305 and a second spring 306. The second spring 306 is located between the second sealing ring assembly 305 and the separation-side air inlet pipe 3026. When the separation-side sealing assembly is in the second sealing position, the second sealing ring assembly 305 seals the separation-side third connecting port 3027. When the main body assembly 1 is placed on the base station 4, the separation-side push rod 404 on the base station 4 can push the second sealing ring assembly 305 to open the separation-side third connecting port 3027. During the movement of the second sealing ring assembly 305, the second spring 306 is compressed. Therefore, when the main body assembly 1 leaves the cleaning equipment, the second spring 306 can make the second sealing ring assembly 305 automatically reset.
