Description

[0001] This application is a divisional application of the invention patent application No. 202211527091.5 filed on November 30, 2022, entitled "Dust Collection Component, Sweeper Base Station, Sweeper and Cleaning Device". Technical Field

[0002] This disclosure relates to the field of household appliance technology, and in particular to a dust collection component, a sweeper base station, a sweeper, and a cleaning device. Background Technology

[0003] In recent years, with the advancement of technology and the development of smart home systems, robotic vacuum cleaners have gradually entered thousands of households. However, due to the limited overall size of the robotic vacuum cleaner, the dust collection container space is relatively small. To reduce the frequency of dust collection container cleaning for users, robotic vacuum cleaners are usually equipped with a base station that has both charging and dust collection functions. This allows the garbage in the dust collection container to be sucked into a larger dust collection component inside the base station for storage, and users only need to clean the dust collection component periodically. However, the existing dust collection component usually needs to be installed and removed from the top of the base station. This not only occupies the space on the top of the base station, but the dust collection component also visually obstructs the pipe openings inside the base station, which can easily cause installation deviations of the dust collection component. As a result, the garbage sucked into the base station cannot be completely collected by the dust collection component, thus contaminating the base station body and contaminating the ground again when the dust collection component is removed. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this disclosure provides a dust collection component, a sweeper base station, a sweeper, and a cleaning device.

[0005] This disclosure provides a dust collection component, including a dust collection component body. The dust collection component body is detachably installed inside a base station body and can be disassembled and assembled through the front of the base station body. A dust collection chamber is formed inside the dust collection component body, and a docking portion is provided on the side of the dust collection component body. The docking portion is used to limit and cooperate with a docking and mating portion on the base station body to realize the connection between the dust collection component body and the suction pipe inside the base station body.

[0006] Optionally, the main body of the dust collection component is a dust bag, and the docking part is an insert provided on the main body of the dust collection component, the insert being used to connect with the docking mating part.

[0007] Optionally, the docking portion includes a first insert assembly and a second insert assembly.

Detailed Implementation

[0029] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this disclosure, the solutions disclosed herein will be further described below. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described herein can be combined with each other.

[0030] Numerous specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of this disclosure, but this disclosure may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein; obviously, the embodiments in the specification are only some, and not all, of the embodiments of this disclosure.

[0031] Combination Figures 1 to 4As shown, this embodiment provides a dust collection component, including a dust collection component body 3. The dust collection component can be either a disposable, replaceable part or a recyclable part that can be removed for cleaning. The dust collection component body 3 is detachably installed inside the base station body 10, and is disassembled and assembled through the front of the base station body 10. The front of the base station body 10 refers to the side through which the sweeper body enters or leaves the base station, and is typically positioned away from the wall. A dust collection chamber is formed inside the dust collection component body 3, and a docking part 31 is provided on the side of the dust collection component body 3. Specifically, the side of the dust collection component body 3 refers to the part perpendicular to the dust collection component body 3. 3. The surface facing the disassembly and assembly direction can specifically face up, down, left, and right. The docking part 31 is used to limit the engagement with the docking and mating part on the base station body 10. Correspondingly, the docking and mating part on the base station body 10 should correspond to the position of the limiting part. The docking part 31 and the docking and mating part can be connected by means of plugging, snapping, magnetic attraction, etc. to achieve limiting and auxiliary assembly, so as to realize the connection between the dust collection part body 3 and the dust suction pipe 2 in the base station body 10, thereby sucking the garbage in the sweeper body into the dust collection chamber of the dust collection part body 3 for storage. When the garbage fills the dust collection chamber, the user can clean or replace the dust collection part.

[0032] In this embodiment, the dust collection component has a docking part 31 on the side of the dust collection component body 3, which is used to form a limiting fit with the docking mating part provided on the base station body 10. This avoids visual obstruction of the docking part 31 by the dust collection component body 3, so as to facilitate the connection between the docking part 31 and the docking mating part. This prevents the dust collection chamber inside the dust collection component body 3 from being misaligned with the suction pipe 2 of the base station body 10 during docking, thus preventing garbage leakage. By setting the dust collection component body 3 to be detachably connected to the front of the base station body 10, the setting position of the dust collection component body 3 can be more flexible, so as to integrate the sweeper 100 with other household appliances.

[0033] In some embodiments, the dust collection component body 3 is a dust bag, which can be a cotton bag, non-woven bag, needle-punched felt bag, etc. The docking part 31 is an insert provided on the dust collection component body 3. The opening of the dust bag can be directly provided on the insert, or the insert can be provided around the opening of the dust bag. The insert is used to insert into the docking part. The docking part can be directly provided on the side wall of the receiving cavity, or it can be provided in a corresponding position in the receiving cavity by a support member. Specifically, by providing the insert, the local rigidity of the dust bag can be improved, thereby making the connection between the opening of the dust bag and the suction pipe 2 more reliable, preventing gaps and garbage leakage during docking.

[0034] Furthermore, the docking part 31 includes a first insert assembly 33 and a second insert assembly 34. The first insert assembly 33 is disposed on the dust collection component body 3 and is adapted to be inserted into the docking part. The first insert assembly 33 is disposed around the second insert assembly 34. The second insert assembly 34 is adapted to be inserted into the first insert assembly 33. Specifically, the outer side of the first insert assembly 33 is used to be inserted into the docking part, and the inner side of the first insert assembly 33 is used to be inserted into the second insert assembly 34. The first insert assembly 33 can be a U-shaped frame structure. The second insert assembly 34 is inserted into the first insert assembly 33 through the open end of the frame structure. The second insert assembly 34 is provided with a dust inlet 32, which is used to communicate with the dust collection chamber. More specifically, by setting the first insert assembly 33 and the second insert assembly 34 to be inserted and engaged, the second insert assembly 34 can slide relative to the first insert assembly 33, so that the opening on the dust collection body 3 can be connected to the dust inlet 32 ​​or can be blocked by the second insert assembly 34 depending on the different usage states.

[0035] In some more detailed embodiments, slots for insertion and engagement with the second insert assembly 34 are formed on opposite sides of the first insert assembly 33. Optionally, in the frame structure of the second insert assembly 34, a limiting groove can also be formed on the side opposite the opening end for insertion and engagement with the end of the second insert assembly 34. A plurality of mutually symmetrical limiting protrusions 331 are provided at intervals on the side of the slot facing away from the dust collection body 3. Specifically, the aforementioned limiting protrusions 331 can limit the second insert assembly 34 in a direction perpendicular to the second insert assembly 34, preventing the second insert assembly 34 from swinging vertically in the plane where the slot of the first insert assembly 33 is located, thereby ensuring the sealing between the opening of the dust collection chamber and the dust inlet 32, and preventing garbage from falling between the second insert assembly 34 and the dust collection body 3.

[0036] In other embodiments, along the insertion direction of the second insert assembly 34, a first stop 333 and a second stop 332 are sequentially provided on the slot. Specifically, the aforementioned plurality of limiting protrusions 331 can be equivalent to the first stop 333 and the second stop 332. The first stop 333 is located near the insertion end of the second insert assembly 34, and the second stop 332 is located away from the insertion end of the second insert assembly 34. Optionally, along the insertion direction of the second insert assembly 34, the dust inlet 32 ​​is located in the middle or rear of the second insert assembly 34. The second insert assembly 34 is provided with a protrusion 341. When the protrusion 341 abuts against the first stop 333, the second insert assembly 34 blocks the opening of the dust collection chamber. When the protrusion 341 abuts against the second stop 332, the dust inlet 32 ​​communicates with the dust collection chamber. Specifically, when assembling or disassembling the dust collection component, the user can apply force to the dust collection component through the second insert assembly 34. When the user inserts the dust collection component, the second insert assembly 34 needs to be pushed. At this time, the protrusion 341 and the second stop 332 abut against each other, so that the dust inlet 32 ​​corresponds to the opening of the dust collection chamber. When the user removes the dust collection component, the second insert assembly 34 needs to be pulled. At this time, the protrusion 341 and the first stop 333 abut against each other, so that the second insert assembly 34 covers the opening of the dust collection chamber to seal the dust collection chamber and prevent garbage from spilling.

[0037] More specifically, the dust collection component body 3 is located on the right side of the front of the base station body 10. Since the dust collection component needs to be manually cleaned by the user, placing the dust collection component body 3 on the right side of the base station body 10 facilitates user operation. At the same time, placing the docking part 31 on the right side makes it easier for the user to see the docking position, which facilitates the user to install the dust collection component body 3, thereby improving the user experience.

[0038] The sweeper base station provided in this disclosure includes a base station body 10 and the aforementioned dust collection component. The base station body 10 contains a suction pipe 2, a return air pipe 6, and a suction pump 5. A receiving cavity is provided on the front of the base station body 10, and the dust collection component body 3 is detachably connected to the receiving cavity. Optionally, a dust box 4 is provided inside the receiving cavity. The dust box 4 may abut against the inner wall of the receiving cavity, and the aforementioned mating part may be located on the dust box 4. The suction pump 5 is located on the suction pipe 2 or the return air pipe 6 to generate suction to extract debris from the sweeper body. The suction end of the suction pipe 2 is adapted to communicate with the dust outlet of the sweeper body, and the dust outlet end of the suction pipe 2 is located on the side wall of the receiving cavity. The air inlet end of the return air pipe 6 communicates with the receiving cavity, and the air outlet end of the return air pipe 6 is adapted to communicate with the air inlet of the sweeper body. By setting up the suction pipe 2 and the return air pipe 6, a recirculating air path can be formed, thereby ensuring the air pressure balance inside the sweeper body and making it easier to extract debris.

[0039] The sweeper 100 base station provided in this embodiment provides a detachable cavity for the dust collection component body 3 to be detachably installed on the front of the base station body 10, and sets the dust outlet end of the suction pipe 2 on the side wall of the cavity. This facilitates the detachable connection between the dust collection component body 3 and the cavity on the front of the base station body 10, avoiding the need to occupy the top of the base station body 10 for disassembling the dust collection component. Therefore, when the sweeper is integrated with other home appliances, the home appliances can be placed on the top of the base station body 10 without interfering with the disassembly and assembly of the dust collection component. On the other hand, by detachably setting the dust collection component on the front of the base station body 10, and with the docking part 31 of the dust collection component and the docking mating part on the base station body 10 respectively located on the side of the dust collection component body 3 and the cavity, the user can observe the assembly status of the docking part 31 and the docking mating part from the front of the sweeper 100, making it convenient for the user to dock the dust outlet end of the suction pipe 2 with the dust collection cavity inside the dust collection component body 3. In addition, a vacuum pump 5 is connected to the suction pipe 2 or the return air pipe 6. The suction force generated by the vacuum pump 5 enables the suction pipe 2 to suck out the garbage and dust in the dust collection container of the sweeper body and collect it in the receiving cavity of the dust collection component body. The airflow enters the receiving cavity, passes through the fiber filter of the dust collection component body, and is discharged through the return air pipe 6. The airflow discharged from the return air pipe 6 can either go to the dust collection container of the sweeper body or to the outside. If the return air pipe 6 goes to the dust collection container, the airflow can form a circulation in the sweeper body and the base station.

[0040] In some specific embodiments, the docking part 31 is located on the right side of the dust collection component body 3, and the dust outlet end of the suction pipe 2 communicates with the dust collection chamber through the docking part 31. Specifically, the receiving cavity is located on the right side of the front of the base station body 10. Since users usually choose to leave the right side of the appliance open when placing it to facilitate opening and closing the appliance door, placing the receiving cavity on the right side is more in line with usage habits. For some special customized needs, the receiving cavity can also be located on the left, upper, or lower side of the front of the base station body 10.

[0041] In other embodiments, at least a portion of the suction pipe 2 is wound around the top of the base station body 10. Specifically, the dust outlet end of the suction pipe 2 is connected to the dust collection chamber through the right side of the dust collection body 3, and the pipe body of the suction pipe 2 is wound around the top of the base station body 10 and connected to the dust outlet of the sweeper body. Optionally, the dust outlet of the sweeper body is positioned facing the back of the base station body 10.

[0042] In some embodiments, a shielding portion is also included. This shielding portion may be hinged to one end of the base station body 10, or it may be entirely detachable from the base station body 10. The shielding portion is detachably mounted on the base station body 10 and is suitable for shielding the opening of the receiving cavity. Specifically, the shielding portion may be snap-fitted or magnetically connected to the base station body 10, or it may be press-fitted to a slot on the base station body 10 via a flexible structure. Optionally, the shielding portion is sealed to the opening of the receiving cavity. By providing the shielding portion, the receiving cavity and components such as dust collectors within it can be shielded, preventing external debris and dust from contaminating the receiving cavity and improving the visual integrity of the base station body 10, thereby enhancing the user experience.

[0043] In a specific application scenario, the air inlet of the return air pipe 6 is located on the inner wall of the receiving cavity opposite to the opening, i.e., the air inlet of the return air pipe 6 is located on the back of the receiving cavity. This allows the airflow mixed with debris entering the receiving cavity from the suction pipe 2 to enter the dust collection cavity. After being filtered by the dust collection component body 3, the clean airflow enters the return air pipe 6, thus preventing debris or dust from repeatedly circulating between the base station and the sweeper body. Optionally, the air inlet of the return air pipe 6 can also be located on the side wall of the receiving cavity. Optionally, the air inlet of the return air pipe 6 can also be positioned opposite to the dust outlet of the suction pipe 2.

[0044] For example, the return air pipe 6 is wound around the back of the base station body 10. Optionally, the air inlet of the sweeper body is arranged facing the back of the base station body 10. Since the air inlet of the return air pipe 6 is also located on the back of the receiving cavity, the return air pipe 6 is wound around the back of the base station body 10 and connects the air inlet of the sweeper body and the receiving cavity. This can shorten the air delivery distance of the return air pipe 6 and reduce the number of bends on the return air pipe 6, making the air delivery smoother.

[0045] In some more detailed embodiments, the air inlet end of the return air pipe 6 is provided with a filter screen 7. Specifically, the filter screen 7 can be provided inside the return air pipe 6, on the back of the receiving cavity, or on the dust box 4. By installing the dust box 4 inside the receiving cavity, the airflow entering the return air pipe 6 can be further filtered.

[0046] Optionally, a dust box 4 is provided inside the aforementioned receiving cavity. The dust box 4 can be made of plastic or metal. The dust box 4 can be fixedly installed inside the receiving cavity and abut against the base station body. The dust box 4 can be a continuous structure, a hollow structure, or a frame structure. A cavity is formed inside the dust box 4 for installing dust collection components. The aforementioned filter 7 and mating part can be set on the dust box 4, eliminating the need for further processing inside the receiving cavity, thereby simplifying the design and processing of the receiving cavity and reducing the production cost of the sweeper 100.

[0047] The sweeping robot 100 disclosed herein includes a sweeping robot body and the aforementioned base station. The base station is suitable for accommodating the sweeping robot body. The base station can automatically charge the sweeping robot body entering the base station and automatically clean the sweeping robot body. The sweeping robot body is provided with an air inlet and a dust outlet. The air inlet and the dust outlet are respectively connected to the air outlet 8 and the suction port 9 provided on the base station body 10. The dust outlet is used to discharge the garbage in the dust collection container of the sweeping robot 100. Optionally, the air inlet is used to introduce filtered clean air into the dust collection container. If the inside of the dust collection container can be connected to the atmosphere during dust discharge, the air inlet can be directed to the external environment. The air inlet is connected to the air outlet of the return air pipe 6, and the dust outlet is connected to the suction end of the suction pipe 2.

[0048] Furthermore, the air inlet and dust outlet are located on opposite sides of the sweeper body, meaning both are connected to the dust collection container of the sweeper body. The airflow entering through the air inlet can disperse the debris in the dust collection container, facilitating collection by the dust outlet. Positioning the air inlet and dust outlet on opposite sides of the dust collection container allows airflow to pass through the entire container, preventing debris from accumulating in certain areas and occupying its volume. Correspondingly, the air outlet 8 and dust suction port 9 located on the base station body 10 should correspond to the positions of the air inlet and dust outlet, respectively.

[0049] The cleaning device disclosed herein includes the aforementioned sweeper 100 and washing device 200, with the washing device 200 positioned above the sweeper 100. Since the cleaning device integrates both the sweeper 100 and the washing device 200, designing the sweeper 100 as a flat cuboid structure saves space, lowers the center of gravity of the cleaning device, and improves overall stability. By placing the dust collection component on the front of the base station body 10, it facilitates user removal for replacement or cleaning. Furthermore, the visible connection part 31 and mating part during dust collection prevent misalignment of the dust inlet 32 ​​with the dust outlet of the suction pipe 2, thus preventing debris leakage and maintaining cleanliness inside the base station body 10, thereby enhancing the user experience.

[0050] The sweeper 100 and cleaning device of this embodiment include the sweeper base station and the dust collection component included in the sweeper base station. Since the dust collection component has the advantages of not occupying the top space of the sweeper base station when disassembled, so as to facilitate combination with other home appliances, and the docking part 31 is visible during the installation process, the sweeper 100 and cleaning device also have good quality and user experience in the corresponding aspects.
