Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cleaning equipment, and in particular to a dust cup, a cleaning equipment and a cleaning system. Background Art

[0002] With the development of science and technology, cleaning equipment is being used more and more widely in people's lives, such as sweeping robots, floor scrubbers, vacuum cleaners, etc. for cleaning dusty areas such as floors, sofa surfaces, and seat surfaces.

[0003] In the above-mentioned cleaning equipment, the dust cup for collecting garbage is an indispensable structure. At present, the commonly used dust cup includes a primary dust collecting bucket and a secondary dust collecting bucket embedded in the primary dust collecting bucket, and the primary dust collecting bucket and the secondary dust collecting bucket are coaxially arranged, and the primary dust collecting bucket and the secondary dust collecting bucket are connected through a spiral channel. At the same time, the cleaning equipment is provided with a dust collecting port connected to the side wall of the primary dust collecting bucket, so that when the cleaning equipment is working, the garbage can enter the primary dust collecting bucket through the dust collecting port, and part of the garbage can enter the secondary dust collecting bucket through the spiral channel. One end of the primary dust collecting bucket and the secondary dust collecting bucket abuts against the end wall of the dust cup, so that when the dust cup is vertically arranged along its axis, the dust in the primary dust collecting bucket and the secondary dust collecting bucket is located at the bottom of the dust cup, or when the dust cup is horizontally arranged along its axis, the dust in the primary dust collecting bucket and the secondary dust collecting bucket is located below near the bottom.

[0004] In the prior art, in order to be able to pour out the garbage from the primary dust bucket and the secondary dust bucket at the same time, one side end wall of the dust cup is an end cover, and the end cover is sealed on the primary dust bucket and the secondary dust bucket at the same time. Regardless of whether the dust cup is arranged horizontally or vertically, when it is necessary to pour out the garbage, it is only necessary to open the end cover to empty the garbage in the primary dust bucket and the secondary dust bucket at the same time. Specifically, in order to facilitate the automatic recovery of the garbage in the dust cup using the base station, the end cover includes an outer cover and an inner cover, the outer cover is sealed on the side wall of the dust cup, and a mounting port is provided on the outer cover, and the inner cover is partially hinged to the outer cover. When the cleaning device is placed on the base station, the power generated by the motor on the base station can open the inner cover, thereby directly recovering the garbage in the primary dust bucket and the secondary dust bucket.

[0005] However, in this dust cup structure, when the garbage in the dust cup reaches a certain weight and the cleaning device is tilted at a certain angle, the inner cover is easy to open, causing the garbage in the dust cup to slide out directly, causing secondary pollution.

[0059] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It is to be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention, rather than to limit the present invention. It should also be noted that, for ease of description, only partial structures related to the present invention are shown in the accompanying drawings, rather than the entire structure.

[0060] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "connected", "connected", and "fixed" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, it can be the connection of the internal structures of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0061] In the present utility model, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, a first feature being "above" or "below" a second feature may include that the first and second features are in direct contact, or may include that the first and second features are not in direct contact but are in contact through another feature between them. Moreover, a first feature being "above", "above" and "above" a second feature includes that the first feature is directly above and obliquely above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is higher in level than the second feature. A first feature being "below", "below" and "below" a second feature includes that the first feature is directly below and obliquely below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is lower in level than the second feature.

[0062] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper", "lower", "left", "right" and other directions or positional relationships are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of description and simplified operation, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation of the present invention. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used to distinguish in the description and have no special meaning. Example

[0063] like Figure 1As shown, this embodiment provides a cleaning device 1000, which is used to clean dusty surfaces such as the floor, sofa surface, and seat surface. The cleaning device 1000 here can be a vacuum cleaner, a floor scrubber, and the like.

[0064] The cleaning device 1000 includes a cleaning mechanism 300, a dust collecting pipe 400, a dust cup 100, and a motor 500. The cleaning mechanism 300 is used to clean the surface, a dust collecting port is provided on the cleaning mechanism 300, one end of the dust collecting pipe 400 is connected to the dust collecting port of the cleaning mechanism 300, the dust cup 100 is arranged at one end of the dust collecting pipe 400 away from the cleaning mechanism 300, and the dust collecting pipe 400 is connected to the inside of the dust cup 100, and the motor 500 is configured to drive the cleaning mechanism 300 to work.

[0065] Optionally, in this embodiment, the dust cup 100 is arranged horizontally. At the same time, the cleaning device 1000 also includes a battery assembly 600, and the battery assembly 600 is electrically connected to the motor 500, so that the cleaning device 1000 can achieve wireless operation.

[0066] See also Figure 2 In this embodiment, the dust cup 100 includes a main body 110 and an end cover 120. The end cover 120 is arranged at one end of the main body 110 along the axial direction of the main body 110, and the end cover 120 includes an outer cover 121 and an inner cover 122. The outer cover 121 is sealed with the outer wall of the main body 110, and the outer cover 121 is provided with a mounting opening, the inner cover 122 is arranged on the mounting opening, and the inner cover 122 is partially hinged to the outer cover 121.

[0067] However, in the prior art, when the garbage in the dust cup 100 reaches a certain weight and the cleaning device 1000 is tilted at a certain angle, the inner cover 122 is easily opened, causing the garbage in the dust cup 100 to slide out directly, causing secondary pollution and affecting the user experience.

[0068] Please continue to see Figure 2 In order to solve the above problems, the dust cup 100 in this embodiment further includes a locking assembly 130 disposed between the outer cover 121 and the inner cover 122, and the locking assembly 130 is used to open or lock the inner cover 122. Compared with the prior art, in this embodiment, when the locking assembly 130 is in the locked position, the inner cover 122 cannot be opened directly, thereby preventing the inner cover 122 from automatically opening and causing the garbage to slide out directly, which is conducive to improving the user experience. When it is necessary to clean the garbage in the dust cup 100, the locking assembly 130 can be unlocked so that the inner cover 122 can be opened flexibly.

[0069] Alternatively, if Figure 3As shown, the primary dust collecting bucket 111 and the secondary dust collecting bucket 112 are coaxially arranged in the main body 110, so as to store the garbage in the dust cup 100 separately according to the quality or type. The inner cover 122 can simultaneously open or close the end surfaces of the primary dust collecting bucket 111 and the secondary dust collecting bucket 112. When the inner cover 122 is opened, the garbage in the primary dust collecting bucket 111 and the secondary dust collecting bucket 112 can be cleaned at the same time.

[0070] Furthermore, the dust cup 100 further includes a snap spring 140, which is disposed at a hinged position between the outer cover 121 and the inner cover 122, and is configured to constrain the inner cover 122 to be in a position of closing the mounting opening. When the inner cover 122 is not subjected to an external force, the snap spring 140 can drive the inner cover 122 to return to a closed state, so that the locking assembly 130 can lock the inner cover 122.

[0071] It is understandable that in order to accommodate the automatic discharge of garbage in the dust cup 100 under gravity and or external suction, only the upper end of the inner cover 122 is hinged to the outer cover 121 to facilitate opening of the inner cover 122.

[0072] Now combined Figure 2-Figure 5 The detailed structure of the locking assembly 130 will be described.

[0073] like Figure 2-Figure 5 As shown, the locking assembly 130 includes a rotating shaft 131 and a locking member 132. The rotating shaft 131 is arranged on the outer cover 121, and a part of the locking member 132 is sleeved or inserted in the rotating shaft 131, and the distal end of the locking member 132 can rotate with the rotating shaft 131 as the axis. When the locking member 132 rotates to the locking position, the locking member 132 is clamped on the end surface of the inner cover 122 away from the outer cover 121. The distal end of the locking member 132 in the locking assembly 130 rotates with the rotating shaft 131 as the axis, so that the locking member 132 can reciprocate between the two states of locking the inner cover 122 and opening the inner cover 122. The locking assembly 130 has a simple structure and is easy to operate, which is conducive to reducing the structural cost and simplifying the operation steps of unlocking the locking assembly 130.

[0074] Furthermore, the locking member 132 includes a first limiting portion 1321, which is located at the distal end of the locking member 132. When the locking member 132 is in the locked position, the first limiting portion 1321 is clamped on the end surface of the inner cover 122 away from the outer cover 121, and the height of the first limiting portion 1321 is higher than the rotating shaft 131, so that the first limiting portion 1321 locks the inner cover 122 from top to bottom. The rotation direction of the first limiting portion 1321 can increase the stability of the first limiting portion 1321 in the locked position by utilizing the weight of the first limiting portion 1321, and avoid the first limiting portion 1321 from being out of the locked position due to looseness between the locking member 132 and the rotating shaft 131, which is conducive to improving the stability of the locking effect of the locking member 132.

[0075] Optionally, the locking member 132 is loosely connected to the rotating shaft 131 so that when the external force acting on the locking member 132 is removed, the locking member 132 can automatically rotate to a position to lock the inner cover 122, thereby further simplifying the structure and operation process.

[0076] like Figure 5 As shown, the first limiting portion 1321 is a groove-shaped structure, and the groove-shaped first limiting portion 1321 includes a first limiting surface 1321a and a second limiting surface 1321b. When the locking member 132 is in the locked position, the first limiting surface 1321a is parallel to the outer wall of the inner cover 122, and the second limiting surface 1321b is perpendicular to the first limiting surface 1321a and extends in a direction away from the first limiting surface 1321a, and the second limiting surface 1321b is used to constrain the inner cover 122 to rotate in a direction away from the outer cover 121. The first limiting portion 1321 uses the second limiting surface 1321b to limit the opening movement of the inner cover 122, effectively preventing the inner cover 122 from opening automatically. The setting of the first limiting surface 1321a is conducive to increasing the effective working area of ​​the second limiting surface 1321b, thereby improving the limiting effect of the first limiting portion 1321.

[0077] Under normal conditions, the locking member 132 can rotate relative to the rotating shaft 131 at an angle of 360°. If the locking member 132 rotates at an angle that is too large, and the first limiting portion 1321 of the locking member 132 rotates to a position lower than the rotating shaft 131, after the external force is removed, the first limiting portion 1321 cannot automatically return to the position of locking the inner cover 122, thereby reducing the safety and stability of the locking member 132 locking the inner cover 122. In order to solve this problem, the locking assembly 130 also includes a limiting member 133, which is arranged between the rotating shaft 131 and the locking member 132. The limiting member 133 can constrain the locking position of the locking member 132, or the limiting member 133 can constrain the maximum angle of the locking member 132 when it rotates away from the inner cover 122, or the limiting member 133 can both constrain the locking position of the locking member 132 and constrain the maximum angle of the locking member 132 when it rotates away from the inner cover 122. The limiting member 133 is helpful to improve the stability of the locking effect of the locking member 132 .

[0078] Exemplarily, the stopper 133 can be any structure capable of limiting the position, such as a rib, a boss, a column, etc., which is protruding from the surface of the outer cover 121. In this embodiment, the stopper 133 is a rib structure, and the stopper 133 is protruding from the surface of the outer cover 121.

[0079] Furthermore, combined with Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5The limiting member 133 is arranged on the outer cover 121, and the locking member 132 further comprises a rotating portion 1322, which is sleeved on the rotating shaft 131, and a limiting groove 1322a is arranged on the rotating portion 1322. When the locking member 132 is in the locking position, one side wall of the limiting groove 1322a can abut against the limiting member 133, thereby preventing the first limiting portion 1321 of the locking member 132 from colliding with the inner cover 122, which is beneficial to improving the service life of the locking member 132 and the inner cover 122. At the same time, when the locking member 132 rotates to the maximum angle in the direction away from the inner cover 122, the other side wall of the limiting groove 1322a can abut against the limiting member 133, thereby realizing the rotation angle of the locking member 132 by the limiting member 133, thereby preventing the limiting member 133 from excessively rotating and making it unable to automatically return to the locking position, which is beneficial to improving the stability of the locking effect of the locking member 132.

[0080] In other embodiments, the limiting groove 1322a may be configured to limit only the locking position or the maximum rotation angle of the locking member 132 .

[0081] Exemplarily, in this embodiment, the limit member 133 is rib-shaped, and the limit member 133 is extended in the up and down directions and is arranged below the rotating shaft 131, so that the rib-shaped limit member 133 is in contact with the side wall of the limit groove 1322a to increase the contact area and reduce wear, thereby improving the service life of the limit member 133 and the locking member 132. Example

[0082] like Figure 6 As shown, this embodiment provides a cleaning system, which includes a base station 2000 and a cleaning device 1000 of the first embodiment. The base station 2000 is provided with a bracket assembly 200. After the cleaning device 1000 completes the cleaning work, the operator only needs to place the cleaning device 1000 back to the base station 2000, and the bracket assembly 200 is supported on a part of the cleaning device 1000 to fix the cleaning device 1000.

[0083] Also, see Figure 7 The base station 2000 further includes a recycling mechanism, which is used to recycle the garbage in the dust cup 100. In order to realize that the recycling mechanism automatically recycles the garbage after the cleaning device 1000 is placed on the base station 2000, an unlocking protrusion 210 is provided on the bracket assembly 200. When the cleaning device 1000 is fixed on the base station 2000, a part of the dust cup 100 of the cleaning device 1000 is engaged with the bracket assembly 200, and the unlocking protrusion 210 can drive the locking assembly 130 of the dust cup 100 to move to an unlocked state, thereby realizing that the locking assembly 130 is automatically unlocked after the cleaning device 1000 is placed on the base station 2000. The unlocking protrusion 210 has a simple structure and low cost.

[0084] In this embodiment, the unlocking protrusion 210 can be a plate-like structure protruding from the surface of the bracket assembly 200. When the cleaning device 1000 is placed back into the base station 2000, the cleaning device 1000 is placed into the corresponding position from top to bottom, and the unlocking protrusion 210 lifts the first limiting portion 1321 of the locking member 132 from bottom to top, thereby making the second limiting surface 1321b separate from the outer end surface of the inner cover 122. At this time, under the power drive of the recovery mechanism, the inner cover 122 can be opened and the garbage in the dust cup 100 can be recovered.

[0085] It is understandable that the bracket assembly 200 is also provided with a garbage recovery port 232 that cooperates with the inner cover 122, so that after the inner cover 122 is opened, the garbage in the dust cup 100 can be recovered through the garbage recovery port 232. The unlocking protrusion 210 can be set on one side of the garbage recovery port 232.

[0086] As an alternative, please continue to see Figure 7 In order to realize that the bracket assembly 200 supports and fixes the cleaning device 1000, the bracket assembly 200 includes a second limiting portion 230 and a supporting portion 240. The second limiting portion 230 can abut against the end surface of the dust cup 100, the supporting portion 240 is perpendicular to the second limiting portion 230, and the supporting portion 240 is configured to support the dust cup 100 from the bottom of the dust cup 100. The trigger module 220 is arranged on the supporting portion 240, thereby realizing the limitation of the side and bottom of the dust cup 100 to improve the stability of the cleaning device 1000.

[0087] like Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, further, a card slot 1211 is provided on the end face of the dust cup 100, and the opening direction of the card slot 1211 is set downward. A card hook 231 that is engaged with the card slot 1211 is provided on the second limiting portion 230, thereby improving the stability of the base station 2000 in fixing the cleaning device 1000 and preventing the cleaning device 1000 from falling from the base station 2000.

[0088] At the same time, the base station 2000 also includes a charger 500, which is used to charge the battery assembly 600 of the cleaning device 1000. In the prior art, the charger 500 includes a trigger module 220, which is arranged on the upper part of the bracket assembly 200, that is, the trigger module 220 is arranged on the upper part of the second limit portion 230, and the battery assembly 600 is arranged on the upper part of the dust cup 100, and a contact module 620 is arranged on the battery assembly 600, and the contact module 620 is arranged on the end face of the battery assembly 600 facing the second limit portion 230. When the cleaning device 1000 is placed on the base station 2000, the contact module 620 contacts the trigger module 220 on the end face of the battery assembly 600, thereby realizing the charging of the battery assembly 600. However, under this charging method, the size of the bracket assembly 200 is relatively large.

[0089] In order to solve the above problems, Figure 3 , Figure 7-Figure 9 In this embodiment, the battery assembly 600 includes a battery component 610 located at the upper part of the dust cup 100 and a contact module 620 located at the lower part of the dust cup 100. The contact module 620 is electrically connected to the battery component 610. The bracket assembly 200 is provided with a trigger module 220. When the cleaning device 1000 is placed on the base station 2000, the end surface of the dust cup 100 and the contact module 620 can be engaged with the bracket assembly 200, and the trigger module 220 abuts against the contact module 620 to charge the battery component 610. Compared with the prior art, in this embodiment, the trigger module 220 abuts against the contact module 620 located at the lower part of the dust cup 100, and the position of the trigger module 220 can be matched with the position of the supporting portion 240. There is no need to additionally set a contact module above the second limiting portion 230, thereby reducing the volume of the bracket assembly 200, which is conducive to improving the compactness and lightness of the bracket assembly 200.

[0090] For further information, see Figure 8-Figure 10 , the contact module 620 includes a first stopper 621133, a mounting plate 622 and a contact member 624. The first stopper 621133 extends downward from the side wall of the lower part of the dust cup 100 to form a shell, the mounting plate 622 is connected to the inner wall of the first stopper 621133, the first stopper 621133, the mounting plate 622 and the outer wall of the dust cup 100 are jointly surrounded to form a receiving groove 623, and an opening is provided on the mounting plate 622, the contact member 624 is arranged in the receiving groove 623, and the contact member 624 is partially protruding from the opening, and the contact member 624 with the protruding opening can abut against the trigger module 220. Here, the first stopper 621133 and the mounting plate 622 form an installation space for accommodating the contact member 624, so as to avoid the contact member 624 being exposed to the outside and causing the electrical contact point to be dirty, blocked or blocked, which is conducive to ensuring the stability of the cleaning device 1000 when charging.

[0091] More specifically, if Fig. 9 and Fig.10 As shown, the contact member 624 includes a fixing portion 6241 and a plurality of electrical contact pieces 6242. The fixing portion 6241 is arranged on the opening, and the fixing portion 6241 is located in the receiving groove 623. The plurality of electrical contact pieces 6242 are arranged on the fixing portion 6241, and the end surface of the electrical contact piece 6242 facing away from the receiving groove 623 protrudes out of the opening, and the electrical contact piece 6242 can be electrically connected to the battery assembly 600, so as to ensure that the electrical contact piece 6242 can contact with the trigger assembly to achieve electrical connection.

[0092] At the same time, if Figure 7-Figure 11As shown, the first limiting member 621133 includes two limiting side walls 6211, and the two limiting side walls 6211 are parallel and spaced apart in the left-right direction. A preset distance is left from the mounting plate 622 to the end of the limiting side wall 6211 away from the dust cup 100, so that the two limiting side walls 6211 and the end surface of the mounting plate 622 away from the accommodating groove 623 are surrounded to form a first limiting groove 6251322a, and the trigger module 220 can be at least partially inserted into the first limiting groove 6251322a, so that the first limiting groove 6251322a can limit the trigger module 220 along the action direction to ensure that the trigger module 220 is in stable contact with the corresponding position of the electrical contact piece 6242, so as to avoid the trigger module 220 and the corresponding electrical contact piece 6242 being misaligned when the cleaning device 1000 is placed on the base station 2000, causing problems such as open circuit or short circuit, which is beneficial to improving the stability of the electrical connection.

[0093] Please continue to see Figure 7-Figure 11 The bracket assembly 200 is provided with a first avoidance groove 241, and the first avoidance groove 241 is arranged corresponding to the position of the first limiting member 621133. The trigger module 220 is arranged at the bottom of the first avoidance groove 241, and the side wall of the first avoidance groove 241 is arranged at intervals from the trigger module 220 in the left-right direction to form a first limiting gap 2411. When the trigger module 220 abuts against the contact member 624, the limiting side wall 6211 is inserted into the first limiting gap 2411. The first limiting gap 2411 can not only further ensure that the trigger module 220 is in stable contact with the corresponding position of the electrical contact piece 6242, thereby improving the stability of the electrical connection, but also can prevent the cleaning device 1000 from shaking left and right and causing the cleaning system to tilt or fall to the ground as a whole, thereby improving the safety and stability of the cleaning system.

[0094] The first limiting member 621133 further includes a limiting plate 6212, which is connected to the two limiting side walls 6211 at the same time. One end of the limiting plate 6212 away from the dust cup 100 protrudes from the mounting plate 622, and the side wall of the first avoidance groove 241 along the front-to-back direction is spaced from the trigger module 220 to form a second limiting gap 2412. When the trigger module 220 abuts against the contact member 624, a part of the limiting plate 6212 is located in the second limiting gap 2412. The cooperation between the second limiting plate 6212 and the second limiting gap 2412 can achieve the limiting of the cleaning device 1000 along the front-to-back direction.

[0095] Optionally, the length of the limiting plate 6212 in the second limiting gap 2412 is the second limiting portion 230, and the depth of the second limiting gap 2412 is not less than the length of the second limiting portion 230, thereby avoiding the second limiting portion 230 of the limiting plate 6212 from interfering with the contact between the trigger module 220 and the electrical contact piece 6242, which is beneficial to ensure stable contact between the corresponding positions of the trigger module 220 and the electrical contact piece 6242, thereby improving the stability of the electrical connection.

[0096] Furthermore, when a protruding structure is provided on the side wall of the dust cup 100 , a second avoidance groove 242 is provided on the supporting portion 240 , and the second avoidance groove 242 is configured to avoid the protruding structure to avoid interference, thereby ensuring the stability of the fixed cleaning device 1000 .

[0097] Illustratively, the protruding structure on the side wall of the dust cup 100 in this embodiment is a locking assembly between the outer cover 121 and the main body 110 .
