However, due to the diversity of garbage in the dust bag, the air pressure sensing method is not stable. In addition, the price of air pressure sensors on the market is generally very expensive, which increases product costs and loses price advantages. Utility Model Content

[0038] This specification may use the phrases "in one embodiment," "in another embodiment," "in a further embodiment," or "in other embodiments," all of which may refer to one or more of the same or different embodiments according to the present disclosure.

[0039] Below, the embodiments of the utility model are described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0040] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, an embodiment of the utility model provides a dust full detection mechanism, which is applied to a floor cleaning device, and the dust full detection mechanism includes:

[0041] A dust full detection component 1 is arranged in a dust collecting seat component 2 in the floor cleaning device. The dust collecting seat component 2 is detachably connected to a dust collector component 3 in the floor cleaning device. A dust collecting bag 10 is arranged in the dust collecting seat component 2 for receiving dust transported by the dust collector component 3. When the dust collecting bag 10 is not full of dust, there is a gap between the dust collecting bag 10 and the dust full detection component 1. When the dust collecting bag 10 is full of dust and the bag body is full, the dust collecting bag 10 contacts the dust full detection component 1 and generates a target force. The dust full detection component 1 generates a trigger operation based on the force to generate a target signal.

[0042] The control panel assembly is connected to the dust full detection assembly 1, and is used to receive the target signal and control the suction motor in the dust collecting base assembly 2 to stop running based on the target signal.

[0043] Based on the contents of the above embodiments, it can be known that the dust full detection mechanism of this embodiment has a simple overall structure. The dust full detection component 1 is triggered by utilizing the expanded state of the dust bag 10 when it is full of dust. A force is applied to the dust full detection component 1 to trigger the two to complete the dust full detection. The detection process and method are simple and convenient, and have strong applicability, low cost, and strong detection stability.

[0044] Specifically, the dust full detection component 1 includes a first detection module and a second detection module. When the dust bag is not full of dust, there is a gap between the first detection module and the second detection module. However, when the dust bag is full of dust, the dust bag bulges and pushes the first detection module toward the second detection module, thereby reducing the gap until the trigger operation is completed and the target signal is generated.

[0045] The first detection module and the second detection module are arranged in the body of the dust collection base assembly 2, and correspond to the positions of the dust bag near the bag opening. The specific arrangement positions of the two detection components are not fixed, and can be determined according to the dust fullness requirements. For example, when the dust accumulates to half or 2 / 3 of the dust bag, or near the bag opening, it is considered to be full of dust, and the detection components can be arranged at the corresponding positions.

[0046] In this embodiment, the dust collection base assembly 2 includes an upper body 8 and a lower body 9, the dust bag is located in the upper body 8, and the first detection module and the second detection module are arranged in the upper body 8 and correspond to the dust bag. Specifically, the upper body 8 in this embodiment includes an upper body assembly 12 with an open side end and a dust bag door assembly 11 for covering the open side end, the first detection module and the second detection module are arranged in the dust bag door assembly 11 and correspond to the dust bag, and the first detection module can penetrate the dust bag door assembly 11 to move toward the second detection module.

[0047] For example, in one embodiment, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the dust collecting seat assembly 2 of the floor cleaning device includes: an upper body 8, a lower body 9, and a dust collecting seat base. The upper body 8 includes a control panel assembly, an air inlet assembly, an air inlet adapter, a dust collecting bag 10, a suction motor assembly, a first detection module, a second detection module, a power cord, a component bracket 7, and an upper body assembly 12. The lower body 9 includes a buckle assembly and an exhaust pipe for connecting with the upper body 8. The vacuum cleaner assembly 3 includes a sub-machine assembly and a dust cup assembly. A dust cup cover is provided at the bottom of the dust cup assembly for dust removal and cleaning. The dust collecting seat assembly 2 automatically collects dust and garbage in the dust cup of the vacuum cleaner into the dust collecting bag 10. The dust collecting seat base is installed at the bottom of the lower body 9.

[0048] Among them, combined Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the suction motor is fixed on the upper housing of the upper body 8, a filter and a dust collecting chamber are provided on the suction motor, a slide is provided on the upper part of the dust collecting chamber, and the dust bag 10 is installed in the slide on the upper part of the dust collecting chamber for easy loading and unloading; the air inlet adapter is fixed on the dust collecting chamber to connect the air inlet assembly; the side wall of the dust collecting chamber of the upper body assembly 12 is provided with a positioning hole for passing the first detection module, and the second detection module is arranged on the outer wall of the dust collecting chamber and is opposite to the first detection module. When the two components are not in contact, it is equivalent to that the detection link is in a disconnected state. At this time, the second detection module can generate a first signal, indicating that it is not full of dust, or no signal is generated, which is not unique.

[0049] Furthermore, combined with Figures 4 to 7 As shown, in one embodiment, the first detection module includes a signal generating sliding member 4, which is movably disposed in the dust collecting seat assembly 2, such as in the positioning hole opened on the side wall of the dust collecting chamber as mentioned above, and is arranged opposite to the second detection module. The signal generating sliding member 4 can move radially along the dust collecting seat assembly 2 under the force applied by the dust bag, and then contact the second detection module to complete the triggering operation.

[0050] The first detection module further includes a signal generating panel 5 for increasing the contact area between the signal generating sliding member 4 and the dust bag, and the signal generating panel 5 is integrally formed or combinedly connected with the signal generating sliding member 4. In this embodiment, the signal generating sliding member 4 is a hollow cylinder with one end open, and the signal generating panel 5 includes a plate body and a plug-in portion located on the plate body for slidingly plugging with the signal generating sliding member 4, and the signal generating panel 5 can slide relative to the signal generating sliding member 4.

[0051] The second detection module includes a signal generating element 6, which is connected to the control board assembly and arranged opposite to the first detection module. When the first detection module is in contact with it, the signal generating element 6 is triggered to generate the target signal and send it to the control board. The second detection module further comprises an element bracket 7 for assembling the signal generating element 6 in the dust collecting base assembly 2 .

[0052] In actual use, when the vacuum cleaner component 3 finishes vacuuming and is placed in the dust collecting base component 2, the control panel component receives the signal from the induction switch and starts the suction motor to absorb the air in the dust collecting chamber through the exhaust pipe under the dust collecting base to the base of the dust collecting base and discharge it out of the body. The air in the dust collecting chamber is reduced to form a vacuum and the negative pressure will suck open the dust cup cover at the bottom of the dust cup component, and collect the garbage in the cup component into the dust bag 10 through the air inlet component and the air inlet adapter.

[0053] After multiple dust collections, the garbage in the dust bag 10 gradually fills the space in the dust collection chamber from bottom to top. When the dust full signal occurs at the positioning hole, the dust bag 10 will push the first detection module outward, so that it contacts and triggers the second detection module, generating a target signal. At this time, the control panel assembly will promptly control the suction motor to shut down after receiving the target signal, and the machine will stop working, thereby achieving the purpose of dust full prompt protection. After the user replaces the new dust bag 10 and runs the floor cleaning device again, the dust collection chamber where the dust bag 10 is placed will be in a negative pressure state, and the first detection module will be automatically attracted back to the initial position, and the machine can operate normally.

[0054] Another embodiment of the present invention also provides a floor cleaning device, comprising the dust full detection mechanism as described in any of the embodiments above.

[0055] The above embodiments are only exemplary embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. The protection scope of the present invention is defined by the claims. Those skilled in the art may make various modifications or equivalent substitutions to the present invention within the essence and protection scope of the present invention, and such modifications or equivalent substitutions shall also be deemed to fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
