Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of dust collection equipment, and more specifically to an automatic dust cup cover opening structure, a dust cup, a dust cleaner and a dust collection station. Background Art

[0002] With the advancement of technology, product base stations have become one of the trends in the cleaning appliance industry. The combination of a vacuum cleaner and a dust collection base station is not only about automatic dust collection and freeing your hands, but also has a deeper meaning of cleaning the dust cup and other filter components each time the dust collection base station is used, which alleviates the attenuation of suction. At present, vacuum cleaners with dust collection base stations on the market generally use motor drive or fan suction to achieve automatic opening of the dust cup. Among them, the structure and circuit required for the motor-driven opening method are complex and costly; the suction opening method has the problem that after long-term use, as the filter becomes clogged and the performance of the suction motor decreases, the dust cup cover cannot be effectively opened, resulting in the garbage in the dust cup being unable to be effectively removed.

[0003] In order to solve the defects of the above-mentioned automatic cover opening method, Chinese patent number CN219331501U discloses a vacuum cleaner base station and system, including a vacuum cleaner base station with a button switch set on the surface of the receiving slot. When the vacuum cleaner is placed in the receiving slot, the vacuum cleaner's own gravity drives the transmission mechanism to automatically open the vacuum cleaner dust cup cover and the dust collection port cover on the base station; multiple transmission mechanisms are required to complete the cover opening action. Although this prior art completes the automatic cover opening action through the transmission mechanism, it requires the cooperation of multiple transmission mechanisms, which is complex in structure and high in cost. Utility Model Content

When the vacuum cleaner is separated from the dust collection station, the rotating mechanism is separated from the toggle mechanism, and the dust cup cover is always in a closed state under the action of the torsion spring to prevent garbage from overflowing.

[0010] In a preferred technical solution, a plurality of installation guide grooves are provided on the dust collecting station for guiding the vacuum cleaner into the dust collecting station.

[0011] In a preferred technical solution, the multiple installation guide grooves include two first installation guide grooves and two second installation guide grooves. The two first installation guide grooves are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the upper part of the docking surface between the dust collecting station and the vacuum cleaner, and the two second installation guide grooves are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the lower part of the docking surface, which facilitates the docking and assembly of the vacuum cleaner and the dust collecting station, prevents the vacuum cleaner from being offset, and ensures that the dust cup opening is aligned with the dust collection opening, thereby improving the user experience.

[0033] Reference Figures 1-9 An automatic dust cup cover opening structure, a dust cup 1, a vacuum cleaner 2 and a dust collecting station 3 according to an embodiment of the utility model are described, which can be used in an automatic cover opening assembly of a vacuum cleaner with a dust collecting station 3, and has the advantages of stable performance and low cost.

[0034] In one embodiment, Figures 1-7 As shown, a dust cup automatic opening structure is provided on the dust cup 1 of the vacuum cleaner 2, the dust cup 1 is provided with a dust cup opening, the dust cup opening is hinged with a dust cup cover 11 through a rotating shaft 12, and a dust collection opening 31 is provided on the dust collection station 3 connected to the vacuum cleaner 2. The dust collection opening 31 corresponds to the position of the dust cup opening.

[0035] The automatic dust cup opening structure includes a rotating mechanism 13 circumferentially arranged around the exposed end of the rotating shaft 12, and a toggle mechanism 33 arranged on the outside of the dust collection port 31; when the vacuum cleaner 2 is placed in or leaves the dust collection station 3, the vacuum cleaner 2 and the dust collection station 3 undergo linear displacement, and each time the rotating mechanism 13 passes the position of the toggle mechanism 33, it is toggled and rotated by the toggle mechanism 33, and the rotating rotating mechanism 13 drives the rotating shaft 12 to rotate to open or close the dust cup cover 11.

[0036] The shapes of the rotating mechanism 13 and the toggle mechanism 33 are not limited, and can be meshing structures such as spur gears and helical gears, or other structures that can drive the rotating shaft to rotate, as long as the rotating mechanism 13 can be axially rotated by the mutual linear displacement of the rotating mechanism 13 and the toggle mechanism 33. In specific implementation, the user can automatically open and close the dust cup cover 11 when the vacuum cleaner 2 is placed in the dust collection station 3 or taken out of the vacuum cleaner 2, which has a simple structure, stable performance, and is easy to use.

[0037] As an implementation of this embodiment, the rotating mechanism 13 is a first meshing portion, the toggle mechanism 33 is a second meshing portion, and the first meshing portion and the second meshing portion mesh with each other. Preferably, the rotating mechanism 13 can be a gear structure, and the toggle mechanism 33 can be a rack structure. In specific implementation, the rotating mechanism 13 and the toggle mechanism 33 are driven by a rack meshing mode, which can drive the core of the rotating shaft 12 to rotate, thereby driving the dust cup cover 11 to open or close.

[0038] As another implementation of this embodiment, the rotating mechanism 13 is a handle, and the toggle mechanism 33 is a protrusion. The handle is rotated by the protrusion to drive the rotating shaft 12 to rotate, thereby realizing the opening or closing of the dust cup cover 11.

[0039] In this embodiment, a torsion spring 14 is provided on the rotating shaft 12, and the torsion spring 14 is used to provide closing power to the dust cup cover 11. In order to make the dust cup cover 11 evenly stressed, the number of torsion springs 14 can be set to two, and the two torsion springs 14 are respectively arranged on both sides of the connection between the dust cup cover 11 and the rotating shaft 12.

Among them, Figure 3 The middle arrow indicates the moving direction of the vacuum cleaner 2. When the vacuum cleaner 2 moves downward, it is placed in the dust collecting station 3, and when the vacuum cleaner 2 moves upward, it is separated from the dust collecting station 3. Figure 5 and Figure 7 The arrow around the rotating mechanism 13 indicates the rotation direction of the rotating shaft 12.
