Negative pressure suction force can be formed inside the dust collection station, and the negative pressure suction force is used to collect the dust in the dust cup of the vacuum cleaner into the dust bag or dust box inside the dust collection station to empty the dust cup of the vacuum cleaner. In the prior art, most dust collection stations are unable to achieve automatic closing of the dust cup cover. After the dust cup of the vacuum cleaner is cleaned, the user needs to manually close the dust cup cover after removing the vacuum cleaner from the dust collection station.

[0048] The technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in conjunction with the embodiments. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present invention and the features in the embodiments may be combined with each other unless there is a conflict.

[0049] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present utility model and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence.

[0050] In the present invention, unless otherwise specified, directional words such as "up, down, top, bottom" are usually used with reference to the directions shown in the drawings, or with reference to the components themselves in the vertical, perpendicular or gravity direction; similarly, for ease of understanding and description, "inside and outside" refer to the inside and outside relative to the outline of each component itself, but the above directional words are not used to limit the present invention.

[0051] The utility model provides a cleaning system, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the cleaning system includes a cleaning device 100 and a base station 200, and the cleaning device 100 can be docked with the base station 200. After the cleaning device 100 is docked with the base station 200, the base station 200 can provide power and cleaning services to the cleaning device 100. In one application scenario, the cleaning device 100 is a vacuum cleaner, and the base station 200 is a dust collection station, and the vacuum cleaner and the dust collection station can be docked. Of course, the cleaning device 100 includes but is not limited to a vacuum cleaner, and can also be a floor scrubber, a mite remover, a window cleaner, etc. The following description will be explained using the cleaning device 100 as an example, but based on the above description, it can be seen that the scope of protection of the present utility model is not limited thereto.

[0052] The vacuum cleaner includes a body, on which are provided a dust collecting container 110, a filter assembly (not shown), a fan and a floor brush assembly 130. An air flow path is formed between the floor brush assembly 130, the dust collecting container 110 and the fan (not shown). The fan can form a negative pressure suction airflow in the air flow path. The dirt on the surface to be cleaned enters the dust collecting container 110 through the floor brush assembly 130 under the action of the negative pressure suction airflow, and the solid matter is stored in the dust collecting container 110. The dust-laden airflow enters the fan after being filtered by the filter assembly and is finally discharged to the external environment by the fan.

[0053] The dust collecting container 110 can use a cyclone separator (not shown) or a HEPA assembly to separate and filter the dust-laden airflow, and the separated solid matter is contained in the dust collecting container 110, thereby achieving the collection of dirt.

[0054] like Figures 4 to 8As shown, the dust collection container 110 includes a container body 111 and a lid 112 rotatably mounted at a first end M of the container body 111 for opening or closing the container body 111. Specifically, the first end M of the container body 111 is open to form a sewage outlet 1111. When the lid 112 is mounted on the sewage outlet 1111, the lid 112 is in a closed state, confining dirt within the dust collection container 110. When the lid 112 is not mounted on the sewage outlet 1111, the lid 112 is in an open state, allowing dirt to be discharged from the dust collection container 110.

[0055] The cover 112 is connected to the container body 111 via a pivot structure. Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the pivot structure includes a pivot seat 141 and a pivot shaft 142. The pivot seat 141 is provided with an opening for the pivot shaft 142 to pass through. One of the pivot seat 141 and the pivot shaft 142 is provided on the container body 111, and the other is provided on the cover 112. The cover 112 is provided on the container body 111 through the cooperation and rotation between the pivot seat 141 and the pivot shaft 142, thereby realizing the opening or closing of the dust collection container 110. Of course, the pivot structure can also adopt other forms. For example, a mounting hole is provided at the first end M of the container body 111, and a boss is provided on the cover 112 that cooperates with the mounting hole. The cover 112 is provided on the container body 111 through the cooperation and rotation between the boss and the mounting hole.

[0056] Furthermore, if Figure 6 As shown, the cover 112 includes a cover body 1121 and a trigger portion 1122. The trigger portion 1122 is provided at the edge of the cover body 1121. That is, the trigger portion 1122 is located at the edge of the cover 112. The cover body 1121 and the trigger portion 1122 are located on opposite sides of the axis of the pivot shaft 142.

[0057] The outer peripheral wall of the first end M of the container body 111 is recessed to form an escape cavity 150, which is used to provide space for the trigger portion 1122 to move. The trigger portion 1122 is at least partially located within the escape cavity 150. The trigger portion 1122 and the escape cavity 150 are vertically enclosed to form a receiving space, and the escape cavity 150 and the trigger portion 1122 at least partially overlap in the vertical direction.

[0058] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the avoidance cavity 150 has a first opening 151 formed on the outer peripheral wall of the container body 111 and a second opening 152 formed on the end surface of the first end 24. When the lid 112 is in the closed state, the trigger portion 1122 is located at the second opening 152; when the lid 112 is in the open state, the trigger portion 1122 tilts upward and deviates from the second opening 152.

[0059] In this embodiment, by providing the avoidance cavity 150, the area of ​​the portion of the cover 112 that extends beyond the edge of the container body 111 can be reduced, which is beneficial to reducing the external dimensions of the dust collecting container 110, rationally utilizing space, and also making the movement of the cover 112 smoother.

[0060] In order to ensure that the cover 112 is closed to the container body 111 when the vacuum cleaner is in use, Figure 10 As shown, the dust collecting container 110 is further provided with a locking structure 160 , which is arranged on both sides of the container body 111 opposite to the trigger portion 1122 . The locking structure 160 can ensure that the cover 112 is in a state of closing the container body 111 .

[0061] like Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, the locking structure 160 includes a first locking member 161 provided at the first end M of the container body 111 and a second locking member 162 provided at the edge of the cover body 1121. The cover body 112 can close the sewage outlet 1111 through the cooperation between the first locking member 161 and the second locking member 162.

[0062] The first locking member 161 and the second locking member 162 can be locked by snap-fit ​​or by magnetic attraction. Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, the first locking member 161 is rotatably mounted on the outer peripheral wall of the container body 111. The first locking member 161 is provided with a first hook portion 1611, and the second locking member 162 is a second hook portion that cooperates with the first hook portion 1611. When the first hook portion 1611 is engaged with the second hook portion, the lid 112 is in a closed state. When the first hook portion 1611 is disengaged from the second hook portion, the lid 112 loses its external restraint and rotates away from the drain outlet 1111, thus entering an open state.

[0063] like Figure 13As shown, the first locking member 161 is further provided with a first abutting end 1612, which is configured to cooperate with the opening structure 230 on the base station 200. When the vacuum cleaner is docked with the base station 200, the opening structure 230 abuts against the first abutting end 1612, causing the first locking member 161 to rotate counterclockwise. The first hook portion 1611 on the first locking member 161 moves away from the second hook portion, thereby disengaging the first hook portion 1611 from the second hook portion, and the cover 112 rotates in a direction away from the container body 111, thereby achieving the opening action of the cover 112. At this time, the container body 111 is in an open state, and the dirt in the dust collection container 110 can be discharged into the base station 200 through the sewage outlet 1111. Among them, the opening cover structure 230 is a pin arranged on the top of the base station 200, or the opening cover structure 230 can also adopt other linkage structures that can rotate the first locking component 161 after the vacuum cleaner is docked with the base station 200, which will not be described one by one here.

[0064] The locking structure 160 and the lid opening structure 230 can also adopt existing commercially available structures, as long as the cover 112 can automatically open when the vacuum cleaner is docked with the base station 200. It is worth noting that the base station 200 can also be provided with no lid opening structure 230. In this case, the vacuum cleaner is provided with a driving member (not shown) for driving the first locking member 161 to rotate. When the vacuum cleaner is docked with the base station 200, the driving member drives the first locking member 161 to rotate, thereby achieving the lid opening action.

[0065] Further, see Figure 13 As shown, the first locking member 161 is further provided with a second abutting end 1613, which is used to enable the user to trigger the lid 112 to open when the vacuum cleaner is not docked with the base station. The above-mentioned "triggering operation" can be an external force applied by the user's hand, or it can be an automatic opening of the lid by pressing certain buttons.

[0066] Specifically, a pressing member 163 is further provided on the outer peripheral wall of the container body 111. This pressing member 163 is located directly above the second abutting end 1613 and is capable of linear reciprocating motion in the vertical direction. This linear reciprocating motion of the pressing member 163 can be achieved by the user's hand and a spring, by an electrical component and a connecting rod structure, or by an electrical component such as a cylinder. The following description uses the user's hand and a spring as an example of applying force.

[0067] When the cover 112 needs to be opened, the user applies a downward force to the pressing member 163, causing the pressing member 163 to move downward and abut against the second abutting end 1613. As the pressing member 163 continues to move downward, it drives the first locking member 161 to rotate counterclockwise, disengaging the first hook portion 1611 from the second hook portion, thereby opening the cover 112. The function of the spring is to drive the pressing member 163 to return to its original position.

[0068] In this embodiment, by setting the first abutting end 1612 and the second abutting end 1613, two different opening methods of the cover body 112 can be realized. Regardless of whether the vacuum cleaner is in a docked state with the base station 200 or when the vacuum cleaner is detached from the base station 200, the dust collection container 110 can be cleaned, which is more convenient to use.

[0069] In order to further prevent the user's hands from being contaminated by the dirt in the dust collection container 110, Figure 14 As shown, a cover structure 210 is provided on the base station 200. The function of the cover structure 210 is to automatically close the cover body 112 when the vacuum cleaner is separated from the base station.

[0070] like Figures 15 to 17 As shown, the cover structure 210 has a position state of being located outside the avoidance cavity 150 and a position state of extending into the avoidance cavity 150. It is worth noting that the cover structure 210 extending into the avoidance cavity 150 specifically refers to: the cover structure 210 extending into the above-mentioned "accommodation space".

[0071] The cover closing structure 210 changes from a position outside the avoidance cavity 150 to a position extending into the avoidance cavity 150 in response to the docking action of the vacuum cleaner, and acts on the trigger part 1122 during the process of the vacuum cleaner detaching from the base station 200, so that the cover body 112 closes the container body 111.

[0072] More specifically, if Figure 15 and Figure 16 As shown, when the vacuum cleaner is docked with the base station 200 in a first direction, the lid closing structure 210 can extend into the avoidance cavity 150. Furthermore, when the vacuum cleaner is detached from the base station 200 in a second direction, the lid closing structure 210 can apply a force in the first direction to the trigger portion 1122, causing the lid 112 to rotate toward the container body 111, thereby closing the sewage outlet 1111 at the first end M of the container body 111. The first direction is the docking direction of the vacuum cleaner and the base station, and the second direction is the detachment direction of the vacuum cleaner and the base station. The first direction is opposite to the second direction. The first direction refers to the direction of gravity, and the second direction refers to the direction opposite to the direction of gravity.

[0073] After the vacuum cleaner is docked with the base station 200, Figure 15 and Figure 18 As shown, the cover 112 is in the open state, the portion of the cover closing structure 210 extending into the avoidance cavity 150 is located above the trigger portion 1122 and at least partially overlaps with the projection of the trigger portion 1122 in the first direction. During the process of the vacuum cleaner separating from the base station 200 along the second direction, the portion of the cover closing structure 210 extending into the avoidance cavity 150 abuts and cooperates with the trigger portion 1122 to drive the cover 112 to rotate toward the container body 111, thereby changing the cover 112 from the open state to the closed state, as shown in FIG. Figure 17 shown.

[0074] like Figure 2 and Figure 14 As shown, the base station 200 includes a base shell 220, with a docking port 221 disposed on the top of the base shell 220 for mating with the first end M of the dust collection container 110. The closing lid structure 210 and the opening lid structure 230 are both located at the docking port 221 and are arranged relative to each other. After the vacuum cleaner is docked with the base station 200, the closing lid structure 210 is located on the trigger portion 1122 side, the opening lid structure 230 is located on the first locking member 161 side, and the sewage outlet 1111 is located within and communicates with the docking port 221. At this time, the suction airflow formed within the base station 200 can draw the contents of the dust collection container 110 into the sewage bag through the docking port 221.

[0075] Regarding the specific structure of the cover closing structure 210, as shown in FIG. Figures 16 to 18 As shown, the cover closing structure 210 includes an actuator 211 that is movably arranged at the docking port 221 and can cooperate with the trigger portion 1122. The actuator 211 has an extended state extending into the docking port 221 and a retracted state retracted into the base shell 220. The hole wall of the docking port 221 is provided with a through hole (not shown) for the actuator 211 to pass through. During the docking process between the vacuum cleaner and the base station 200, the actuator 211 first switches from the extended state to the retracted state, and then switches from the retracted state to the extended state after the docking with the base station 200 is completed, so that the actuator 211 at least partially extends into the receiving space enclosed by the avoidance cavity 150 and the trigger portion 1122.

[0076] like Figure 18 As shown, the base shell 220 is further provided with a limiting structure 240, which is used to limit the extension of the actuator 211 within the docking port 221. In one embodiment, as shown in the figure, the limiting structure 240 is the top edge of the through-hole; in another embodiment, the limiting structure 240 is a limiting block (not shown) provided within the base shell 220.

[0077] In order to enable the actuator 211 to have an extended state and a retracted state, the actuator 211 can be mounted on the base housing 220 in a rotational motion, a linear reciprocating motion, or a combination of rotational and linear reciprocating motions. The direction of the linear reciprocating motion is perpendicular to the docking direction of the vacuum cleaner.

[0078] In this embodiment, the actuator 211 is capable of both rotation and telescopic movement relative to the base housing 220. To achieve this movement of the actuator 211, the lid closing structure 210 further includes a sliding member 212 that is floatingly disposed within the base housing 220 in a direction perpendicular to the docking direction (either the first direction or the second direction) of the vacuum cleaner. The actuator 211 is rotatably mounted on the sliding member 212.

[0079] A first elastic member (not shown) is positioned between the actuator 211 and the slider 212. This member is used to maintain the actuator 211 in its extended position when not subjected to external forces (e.g., the vacuum cleaner). The first elastic member is preferably a torsion spring. In addition to being positioned between the actuator 211 and the slider 212, the first elastic member can also be positioned between the base housing 220 and the actuator 211. The slider 212 is held in place within the base housing 220 by a second elastic member 214, which is a compression spring.

[0080] The actuator 211 is arranged on the sliding member 212 and the sliding member 212 is floated on the base shell 220. This can buffer part of the force applied by the dust collecting container 110 to the actuator 211 along the direction perpendicular to the docking direction (the first direction or the second direction), optimize the force condition of the actuator 211, and thus ensure that the vacuum cleaner can smoothly dock with or detach from the base station 200.

[0081] The driving force for actuator 211 can be derived from an electrical component, such as a motor or cylinder. Alternatively, the driving force for actuator 211 can be derived from the force applied by a vacuum cleaner. Preferably, the driving force for actuator 211 is derived from the force applied by the vacuum cleaner, which effectively reduces the number of electrical components used, thereby reducing costs and simplifying the structure.

[0082] When the vacuum cleaner is docked with the base station 200 along the first direction, the outer peripheral wall of the container body 111 acts on the actuator 211, forcing the actuator 211 to retract into the base shell 220; when the avoidance cavity 150 moves to the cover closing structure 210, due to the existence of the avoidance cavity 150, the outer peripheral wall of the container body 111 cannot act on the actuator 211. At this time, the actuator 211 rotates toward the dust collecting container 110 under the action of the first elastic member, and changes from a retracted state to an extended state, and the actuator 211 extends into the receiving space enclosed by the avoidance cavity 150 and the trigger part 1122.

[0083] When the vacuum cleaner is separated from the base station 200 along the second direction, Figures 15 to 17 As shown, the vacuum cleaner moves upward in the second direction. During the upward movement, the part of the actuator 211 that extends into the avoidance cavity 150 abuts against the trigger portion 1122 and presses the trigger portion 1122, causing the cover body 112 to rotate. When the cover body 112 is covered on the sewage outlet 1111, the first hook portion 1611 and the second hook portion are re-hooked together to complete the closing operation of the cover body 112; when the cover body 112 is covered, the vacuum cleaner continues to move upward in the second direction. At this time, under the action of the outer peripheral wall of the dust collecting container 110, the actuator 211 switches from the extended state to the retracted state, and finally the vacuum cleaner successfully detaches from the base station 200.

[0084] like Figure 9 and Figure 18 As shown, the trigger portion 1122 has a guide surface 1123 that interacts with the cover closing structure 210. The guide surface 1123 is configured to guide the actuator 211 of the cover closing structure 210 to exit the avoidance cavity 150 when the vacuum cleaner is separated from the base station 200. The guide surface 1123 is at least one of an arc surface, a conical surface, and a broken line surface.

[0085] To reduce friction between the actuator 211 and the dust collection container 110, a rolling element 213 is provided at one end of the actuator 211 that mates with the trigger unit 1122. The rolling element 213 may be a roller, a ball bearing, or a rolling bearing. When the vacuum cleaner and the base station 200 mate, the rolling element 213 forms a rolling engagement with the dust collection container 110, converting the original sliding friction between the actuator 211 and the dust collection container 110 into rolling friction, effectively reducing frictional resistance.

[0086] Specifically, during the process of closing the cover, the rolling element 213 at the end of the actuator 211 rolls on the guide surface 1123 in the direction away from the cover body 112. After the cover is closed, the vacuum cleaner continues to move in the second direction. At this time, the rolling element 213 continues to roll along the guide surface 1123 until it separates from the guide surface 1123. At this time, the actuator 211 exits the avoidance space, allowing the vacuum cleaner to smoothly separate from the base station 200.

[0087] Obviously, the embodiments described above are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications without creative work, which should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
