[0036] The handheld vacuum cleaner 5000 includes a main body 5200 having a motor chamber 5220, a motor (not shown) located within the motor chamber 5220, a dust cup 5400 coupled to the main body 5200 and having a dust cup chamber 5420, a first bottom cover 5460 that rotatably covers one end of the dust cup chamber 5420, a second bottom cover 5480 that rotatably covers the central opening of the first bottom cover 5460 and is triggered by a connector trigger 2500 to rotate open, and a power supply 5600 disposed adjacent to the second bottom cover 5480 to provide power to the motor. The dust cup 5400 includes an air inlet duct 5440 connected to the dust cup chamber 5420. The air inlet duct 5440 is perpendicular to the cyclonic direction of the dust cup chamber 5420. The dust cup 5400 further includes a locking member 5462 locked with one end of the first bottom cover 5460 and received by the positioning groove 2660, and a first rotating shaft 5464 located at the other end of the first bottom cover 5460. The power source 5600 is preferably a rechargeable battery, in particular a lithium battery.

[0037] The handheld vacuum cleaner 5000 also includes an abutment groove 5482 disposed at one end of the second bottom cover 5480 and abutting against the connector trigger 2500, a sensor 5484 disposed at the other end of the second bottom cover 5480, a second rotating shaft 5486 located between the abutment groove 5482 and the sensor 5484, a magnet 5488 disposed on the first bottom cover 5460 and magnetically engaged with the sensor 5484, a connecting tube 6000 having one end detachably connected to one end of the vacuum cleaner dust cup 5400, and a vacuuming brush 6400 connected to the other end of the connecting tube 6000. The central axis of the vacuum cleaner dust cup 5400 is parallel to the horizontal plane and is at least partially received by the connector receiving cavity 2620. The second rotating shaft 5486 is proximal to the first rotating shaft 5464 and distal to the locking member 5462. The handheld vacuum cleaner 5000 further includes a conductive sheet electrically connected to the conductive contact 2720 to enable the base station to charge the handheld vacuum cleaner 5000 .

[0038] When the handheld vacuum cleaner 5000 is in operation, the power supply 5600 supplies power to the vacuum cleaner motor, which in turn generates a vacuum within the dust cup 5400. The dust-laden airflow passes through the dust cup air inlet pipe 5440 and enters the dust cup chamber 5420. After passing through the cyclonic separation in the dust cup chamber 5420 and the other filter elements within the dust cup chamber 5420, the clean air is discharged outward by the vacuum cleaner motor. When the user needs to clean the dust in the dust cup chamber 5420, they can unlock the lock 5462, and the first bottom cover 5460 connects to the second bottom cover 5480 and opens around the first rotating shaft 5464. The dust in the dust cup chamber 5420 is then manually emptied under the action of gravity. When the handheld vacuum cleaner 5000 is placed into the connector device 2000 on the base station, that is, the vacuum cleaner dust cup 5400 is placed into the connector accommodating cavity 2620, the connector trigger 2500 triggers the second bottom cover 5480 to rotate open, and the center opening of the first bottom cover 5460 is opened, and then the base station motor 4000 is started through the touch panel 2900. Under the action of suction, the dust in the dust cup cavity 5420 passes through the connector transition cavity 2640, and then enters the base station vacuum chamber 1200 through the ash guide cavity 2840, is filtered by the dust bag or dust cup, and finally is discharged to the atmosphere through the base station motor 4000.

[0039] The utility model has the advantages of being suitable for a handheld vacuum cleaner whose air inlet direction and cyclone direction are perpendicular to each other, and can centrally collect dust in the handheld vacuum cleaner and charge the handheld vacuum cleaner.

[0040] The above are only preferred implementations of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with this technical field can make several modifications and improvements without departing from the creative concept of the present invention, which should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
