Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of vacuum cleaners, in particular to a dust cup mounting structure. Background Art

[0002] In the field of vacuum cleaners and similar cleaning devices, the dust cup is a key component for collecting dust and debris. The stability and ease of use of its assembly structure directly affect the user experience and the overall performance of the device. Currently, one of the widely used dust cup assembly methods for handheld vacuum cleaners on the market is a rotary assembly locking structure. In this structure, the dust cup is rotated to cooperate with and lock to the interface part on the device main body to achieve the fixed installation of the dust cup. However, the dust cup assembled by rotation has always had the problem that it is difficult to control the tightness feeling. Due to factors such as the dust cup material, dimensional tolerance, and deformation during long-term use, it is often difficult to precisely control the tightness during rotary assembly. If it is too tight, it may cause difficulties for users to assemble, and even damage the dust cup or the device main body; if it is too loose, it may lead to poor sealing, affecting the dust suction effect and dust leakage. Content of the Utility Model

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to solve the above technical problems and provide a dust cup mounting structure. This application aims to provide a plug-in mounting dust cup mounting structure.

[0004] A dust cup mounting structure includes a mounting main body and a dust cup. The mounting main body includes a first mounting part and a second mounting part arranged at an angle to each other. A mounting position for the dust cup is formed in the area sandwiched by the first mounting part and the second mounting part.

The shape of the fulcrum groove matches the shape of the fulcrum. The structure of the arc surface enables the dust cup to produce a slight upward lifting effect on the dust cup when it is inserted along the arc surface, so as to clamp the dust cup with the first installation part.

[0010] Still further, an electrode sheet is provided on the side of the fulcrum of the first installation part, and an electrode contact is provided on the side of the fulcrum groove of the dust cup. When the dust cup is installed on the installation main body, the electrode sheet and the electrode contact are in mutual contact. The electrode sheet and the electrode contact cooperate to form a conductive structure between the dust cup and the installation main body.

[0011] Still further, the elastic buckle includes a buckle main body and an elastic member. A cavity for the elastic buckle to move is provided in the second installation part. The elastic member provides elastic force for the buckle main body. The buckle main body includes a pressing part and a buckling part. The buckling part extends out of the cavity to cooperate with the clamping groove for clamping, and the pressing part extends out of the cavity in another direction.

[0012] Still further, the buckle main body further includes a limiting part, and the elastic member is limitedly installed on the limiting part. One side of the elastic member is pressed against the limiting part, and the other side is pressed against the inner wall of the cavity.

[0013] Still further, the first installation part is a housing of a suction fan, and the second installation part is a housing of a handle. The included angle between the housing of the suction fan and the housing of the handle is 90 degrees or an obtuse angle.

[0014] Furthermore, the dust cup further includes a holding portion which is arranged on the cup body and serves as an interface for the suction pipeline.
