Detailed Implementation

[0029] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0030] In this document, the term "embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of this application. The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0031] The vacuum cleaner provided by this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the embodiments.

[0032] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 , Figure 1 This is a first partial schematic diagram of an embodiment of the vacuum cleaner of this application; Figure 2 yes Figure 1 The structural diagram of A shown below; Figure 3 This is a first partial cross-sectional schematic diagram of an embodiment of the vacuum cleaner of this application;

[0033] Figure 4 This is a second partial cross-sectional schematic diagram of an embodiment of the vacuum cleaner of this application. This application provides a vacuum cleaner. The vacuum cleaner 10 includes a vacuum cleaner body 11, an extension tube 15, and a locking assembly 153. The vacuum cleaner body 11 is provided with a mating surface 111. The mating surface 111 is used to install the extension tube 15. The extension tube 15 extends along a first direction X. The extension tube 15 is provided with a locking seat 152. The locking seat 152 is used to install the locking assembly 153. The locking assembly 153 is disposed on the locking seat 152. The locking assembly 153 is detachably or fixedly connected to the locking seat 152. The locking assembly 153 can release the mating surface 111. When the locking assembly 153 is locked to the mating surface 111, the extension tube 15 is locked to the vacuum cleaner body 11. When the locking assembly 153 is released from the mating surface 111, the extension tube 15 is released from the vacuum cleaner body 11.

[0034] The aforementioned locking assembly 153 includes a locking button seat 1531. An external force drives the locking button seat 1531, enabling the locking assembly 153 to release the locking mating surface 111. For example, under an upward force in the first direction X, the locking assembly 153 releases from the mating surface 111, and the extension tube 15 moves upward in the first direction X along with the locking seat 152. That is, the upward movement of the locking button seat 1531 in the first direction X is the same as the upward movement of the extension tube 15 in the first direction X.

[0035] Therefore, through the cooperation of the mating surface 111 of the vacuum cleaner body 11, the locking seat 152 on the extension tube 15, and the locking button seat 1531 in the locking assembly 153, the direction in which the user triggers the locking button seat 1531 is consistent with the direction in which the extension tube 15 is disassembled, facilitating user operation and improving the user experience. The locking assembly 153 can be locked to the mating surface 111 by means of snap-fit, plug-in, etc. Furthermore, the locking assembly 153 can be, but is not limited to, snap-fit ​​components, plug-in components, etc., which are not limited here.

[0036] Please see Figure 5 , Figure 5 This is a partial exploded view of an embodiment of the vacuum cleaner of this application. (Combined with...) Figures 1 to 4 In some embodiments, the locking assembly 153 includes a locking button 1532. At least a portion of the locking button 1532 is disposed at the lower end of the locking button base 1531. Specifically, at least a portion of the locking button 1532 is detachably or fixedly connected to the lower end of the locking button base 1531. In this embodiment, at least a portion of the locking button 1532 is bolted to the lower end of the locking button base 1531. At least another portion of the locking button 1532 extends beyond the outer surface of the locking base 152 to indicate its function to the user. The locking button 1532 and the locking button base 1531 in the locking assembly 153 cooperate to facilitate indirect movement of the locking button base 1531 upwards along the first direction X by the user via the locking button 1532, and also serve as a prompt, thereby facilitating the indication of its function to the user.

[0037] Specifically, the locking button 1532 includes a first locking button 15321 and a second locking button 15322. One end of the first locking button 15321 is connected to the lower end of the locking button base 1531. The first locking button 15321 is detachably or fixedly connected to the lower end of the locking button base 1531. In this embodiment, one end of the first locking button 15321 is bolted to the lower end of the locking button base 1531. The other end of the first locking button 15321 is connected to the second locking button 15322. The other end of the first locking button 15321 is detachably or fixedly connected to the second locking button 15322. In this embodiment, the first locking button 15321 and the second locking button 15322 are integrally formed. The second locking button 15322 extends upward along the first direction X, which not only increases the area of ​​the locking button 1532 extending beyond the outer surface of the locking base 152, but also makes it easier for the user to understand its function.

[0038] Furthermore, the aforementioned second locking button 15322 may include one of the following: a colorless transparent second locking button, a colored second locking button, or a text-labeled second locking button. If the second locking button 15322 is a colorless transparent second locking button, the user can identify the locking function through its transparency. Alternatively, if the second locking button 15322 is a colored second locking button, the color of the colored second locking button differs from other components, allowing the user to identify the locking function through its color. Alternatively, if the second locking button 15322 is a text-labeled second locking button, the text and / or graphics are embedded or raised, thereby indicating to the user that the text and / or graphics indicate the locking function. The aforementioned second locking button 15322 may also include other second locking buttons that serve a functional indication purpose. Of course, the function of the first locking button 15321 may also be the same as the function of the second locking button 15322, and will not be elaborated further here.

[0039] In some embodiments, the locking assembly 153 includes a latch 1533 and a first locking elastic member 1534. The latch 1533 is releasably locked to the mating surface 111. Specifically, the latch 1533 is locked to the mating surface 111; or, the latch 1533 is released from the mating surface 111. A locking button seat 1531 is connected to the latch 1533. The locking button seat 1531 is used to drive the latch 1533 to release from the mating surface 111, allowing the extension tube 15 to move upward in the first direction X. One end of the first locking elastic member 1534 is connected to the locking seat 152. Specifically, one end of the first locking elastic member 1534 is detachably or fixedly connected to the locking seat 152. The other end of the first locking elastic member 1534 is connected to the end of the latch 1533 facing away from the mating surface 111. The first locking elastic element 1534 has its other end detachably or fixedly connected to the end of the latch 1533 facing away from the mating surface 111. The first locking elastic element 1534 is used to drive the other end of the latch 1533 to lock with the mating surface 111. When the extension tube 15 is installed downward along the first direction X on the mating surface 111, the latch 1533 is locked to the mating surface 111 under the action of the first locking elastic element 1534, so that the extension tube 15 is installed on the vacuum cleaner body 11.

[0040] Through the combined action of the aforementioned latch 1533, first locking elastic element 1534, locking seat 152, and mating surface 111, not only is a releaseable locking mechanism achieved between the latch 1533 and the mating surface 111, but the structure is also simple, easy to install, and easy to operate. The aforementioned first locking elastic element 1534 may be, but is not limited to, a first locking compression spring.

[0041] Please see Figure 6 and Figure 7 , Figure 6This is a second partial schematic diagram of an embodiment of the vacuum cleaner of this application; Figure 7 yes Figure 6 The structural diagram of B shown is illustrated. (Combined with...) Figures 1 to 5 In some embodiments, the mating surface 111 is provided with a locking groove 1111. The latch 1533 is releasably locked in the locking groove 1111. The top of the locking button base 1531 is provided with a first driving surface 15311. The latch 1533 is provided with a second driving surface 15331. The first driving surface 15311 and the second driving surface 15331 mate. Both the first driving surface 15311 and the second driving surface 15331 extend downwards away from the locking groove 1111. Through the combined action of the first driving surface 15311 of the locking button base 1531 and the second driving surface 15331 of the latch 1533, the smoothness of the locking button base 1531 driving the latch 1533 is improved, thereby reducing movement resistance and enhancing the user experience.

[0042] In some embodiments, the locking assembly 153 further includes a latch fixing seat 1535. The latch fixing seat 1535 is disposed within the locking seat 152. The latch fixing seat 1535 may be confined within the locking seat 152. One end of a first locking elastic member 1534 is disposed within the latch fixing seat 1535. One end of the first locking elastic member 1534 abuts against the latch fixing seat 1535. The other end of the first locking elastic member 1534 is connected to one end of a latch 1533. The other end of the first locking elastic member 1534 abuts against one end of the latch 1533. The other end of the latch 1533 at least partially extends beyond the latch fixing seat 1535.

[0043] By placing both the first locking elastic element 1534 and the latch 1533 within the latch fixing seat 1535, the movement direction of the first locking elastic element 1534 and the latch 1533 can be limited, reducing the risk of movement deviation of the first locking elastic element 1534 and the latch 1533, thereby improving the accuracy of the latch 1533 locking in the locking groove 1111, and thus improving the accuracy and stability of the extension tube 15 installed on the vacuum cleaner body 11.

[0044] In some embodiments, the locking assembly 153 further includes a second locking elastic member 1536. The second locking elastic member 1536 has a certain elasticity. One end of the second locking elastic member 1536 is disposed at the end of the locking button seat 1531 near the latch fixing seat 1535. The other end of the second locking elastic member 1536 is disposed at the end of the latch fixing seat 1535 facing the locking button seat 1531. The second locking elastic member 1536 is detachably or fixedly connected between the locking button seat 1531 and the latch fixing seat 1535.

[0045] When the second locking button seat 151 drives the latch 1533 to move, the locking button seat 1531 can return to its original shape under the restoring force of the second locking elastic member 1536, thereby improving the user experience. The aforementioned second locking elastic member 1536 may be, but is not limited to, a second locking compression spring, etc.

[0046] In some embodiments, the locking assembly 153 further includes a latch fixing seat 1535. A latch extension 15351 is provided at the bottom of the latch fixing seat 1535. The latch extension 15351 is detachably or fixedly connected to the latch fixing seat 1535. In this embodiment, the latch extension 15351 is integrally formed on the bottom of the latch fixing seat 1535. The locking button seat 1531 is provided with a button extension 15312. The button extension 15312 is detachably or fixedly connected to the locking button seat 1531. In this embodiment, the button extension 15312 is integrally formed on the locking button seat 1531. The button extension 15312 is located within the latch extension 15351.

[0047] By cooperating with the button extension 15312 and the latch extension 15351, the button extension 15312 moves along the inside of the latch extension 15351, which reduces the risk of the locking button seat 1531 deviating upward in the first direction X, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the latch 1533 and the locking groove 1111. The first driving surface 15311 is located at the top of the button extension 15312; the second driving surface 15331 is located at the lower end of the latch extension 15351.

[0048] The aforementioned locking seat 152 may be provided with a locking component 153, wherein the locking component 153 can be released and locked to one side of the mating surface 111; or, the locking component 153 can be released and locked to the other side of the mating surface 111. For example, in this embodiment, when the mating surface 111 is located at the rear of the vacuum cleaner body 11, the locking component 153 can be released and locked to the left side of the mating surface 111. Alternatively, when two locking components 153 are provided within the locking seat 152, the two locking components 153 can be arranged side-by-side, with one locking component 153 being released and locked to one side of the mating surface 111, and the other locking component 153 being released and locked to the other side of the mating surface 111. When the user simultaneously applies the first direction X upward to both locking button seats 1531, one locking component 153 is unlocked on one side of the mating surface 111, and the other locking component 153 is unlocked on the other side of the mating surface 111. At this time, the extension tube 15 moves upward along the first direction X with the locking seat 152.

[0049] In some embodiments, a locking and limiting component (not shown in the figure) is provided between the top of the vacuum cleaner body 11 near the mating surface 111 and the outer periphery of the locking seat 152. The locking and limiting component includes a locking and limiting part 1525 and a locking and limiting groove 112. The locking and limiting part 1525 and the locking and limiting groove 112 cooperate to achieve a pre-positioning function, thereby improving the accuracy of the locking component 153 locking onto the mating surface 111, thus improving the accuracy of the extension tube 15 being installed on the vacuum cleaner body 11 and improving the user experience. An opening groove (not shown in the figure) is formed at the upper end of the locking and limiting groove 112, and the locking and limiting part 1525 is inserted into the locking and limiting groove 112 through the opening groove. Both the locking and limiting part 1525 and the locking and limiting groove 112 extend along the first direction X.

[0050] The aforementioned locking and limiting portion 1525 and locking and limiting groove 112 can be disposed on either the top of the vacuum cleaner body 11 near the mating surface 111 or the outer periphery of the locking seat 152. In this embodiment, the locking and limiting groove 112 is disposed on the top of the vacuum cleaner body 11 near the mating surface 111. The locking and limiting portion 1525 is disposed on the outer periphery of the locking seat 152. The locking and limiting portion 1525 is detachably or fixedly connected to the outer periphery of the locking seat 152. In this embodiment, the locking and limiting portion 1525 is integrally formed on the outer periphery of the locking seat 152. The aforementioned locking and limiting portion 1525 is inserted into the locking and limiting groove 112.

[0051] In another embodiment, a locking and limiting portion 1525 is provided at the top of the vacuum cleaner body 11 near the mating surface 111. The locking and limiting portion 1525 is detachably or fixedly connected to the top of the vacuum cleaner body 11 near the mating surface 111. In this embodiment, the locking and limiting portion 1525 is integrally formed at the top of the vacuum cleaner body 11. A locking and limiting groove 112 is provided on the outer periphery of the locking seat 152. The aforementioned locking and limiting portion 1525 is inserted into the locking and limiting groove 112.

[0052] Please see Figure 8 and Figure 9 , Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram of the extension tube in one embodiment of the vacuum cleaner of this application; Figure 9 yes Figure 8The diagram shows the structure of C. In some embodiments, a locking extension 1524 extends from the top of the locking seat 152. The locking extension 1524 is detachably or fixedly connected to the locking seat 152. In this embodiment, the locking extension 1524 is integrally formed into the locking seat 152. The locking extension 1524 can cover the top of the vacuum cleaner body 11. When the extension tube 15 is locked to the mating surface 111 of the vacuum cleaner body 11, the locking extension 1524 covers the top of the vacuum cleaner body 11. When the extension tube 15 is unlocked from the mating surface 111 of the vacuum cleaner body 11, the locking extension 1524 moves with the extension tube 15, at which time the locking extension 1524 disengages from the top of the vacuum cleaner body 11.

[0053] By providing the aforementioned locking extension 1524 at the top of the locking seat 152, it can not only serve as a positioning and support function, but also as a shielding function, reducing the entry of dust and other particles into the gap between the locking seat 152 and the extension tube 15, while also improving aesthetics.

[0054] In some embodiments, the locking seat 152 includes a first locking seat 1521 and a second locking seat 1522. The first locking seat 1521 and the second locking seat 1522 are detachably connected. The detachable connection method can be, but is not limited to, snap-fit, plug-in, and bolt. When the first locking seat 1521 and the second locking seat 1522 are detachably connected, a locking cavity 1523 is formed between the first locking seat 1521 and the second locking seat 1522. The aforementioned latch fixing seat 1535, locking button 1532, locking button seat 1531, latch 1533, and first locking elastic element 1534 are all located within the locking cavity 1523. The first locking seat 1521 and the second locking seat 1522 are both sleeved and connected to the outer periphery of the extension tube 15. The first locking seat 1521 and the second locking seat 1522 are detachably or fixedly connected to the outer periphery of the extension tube 15. The locking cavity 1523 is formed by the cooperation of the first locking seat 1521 and the second locking seat 1522, which not only provides an installation position for the locking assembly 153, but also improves the aesthetics and reduces the entry of dust into the locking assembly 153.

[0055] The first locking seat 1521 can be located above the second locking seat 1522; or, the first locking seat 1521 can be located below the second locking seat 1522, etc. The first locking seat 1521 and the second locking seat 1522 are connected to the outer periphery of the middle portion of the extension tube 15. The extension tube 15 can be made of metal or alloy. The first locking seat 1521 and the second locking seat 1522 can be made of plastic.

[0056] Please see Figure 10 and Figure 11 , Figure 10This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an embodiment of the vacuum cleaner of this application; Figure 11 yes Figure 10 The diagram shows the structure of D. (Combined with...) Figures 1 to 9 In some embodiments, the vacuum cleaner 10 includes a dust cup assembly 16 and a power assembly 14. Both the dust cup assembly 16 and the power assembly 14 are located at the front of the vacuum cleaner body 11. The mating surface 111 is located at the rear of the vacuum cleaner body 11. When the extension tube 15 is installed on the mating surface 111, the extension tube 15 is located at the rear of the vacuum cleaner body 11. Through the combined action of the dust cup assembly 16, the power assembly 14, and the mating surface 111, the dust cup assembly 16, the power assembly 14, and the extension tube 15 are positioned at different locations at the front and rear of the vacuum cleaner body 11, thereby reducing the overall horizontal dimensions of the vacuum cleaner 10 and making its structure more compact.

[0057] The dust cup assembly 16 is detachably connected to the power assembly 14. The dust cup assembly 16 can be connected to the power assembly 14 by means of, but not limited to, snap-fit, plug-in, or bolts. Furthermore, the dust cup assembly 16 can be located above the power assembly 14.

[0058] Please read back Figures 1 to 7 In some embodiments, the mating surface 111 is formed as an inwardly concave arc-shaped surface (not shown in the figure). This arc-shaped surface not only reduces the overall horizontal dimensions of the vacuum cleaner 10, making it more convenient to use, but also ensures reliable contact between the extension tube 15 and the vacuum cleaner body 11, while simultaneously improving the overall aesthetics of the vacuum cleaner body 11. Furthermore, the arc-shaped surface provides excellent guidance, facilitating the disassembly and reassembly of the extension tube 15.

[0059] Compared to existing technologies, in this embodiment, the vacuum cleaner includes a vacuum cleaner body, an extension tube, and a locking assembly. The vacuum cleaner body has a mating surface. The extension tube extends along a first direction. The extension tube has a locking seat. The locking assembly is disposed on the locking seat. The locking assembly has a releasable locking mating surface. The locking assembly includes a locking button seat. An external force drives the locking button seat, enabling the releasable locking mating surface of the locking assembly to be locked. Specifically, under an upward force in the first direction, the locking assembly releases from the mating surface, and the extension tube moves upward along the first direction with the locking seat. That is, the upward movement of the locking button seat in the first direction X is the same as the upward movement of the extension tube in the first direction.

[0060] By cooperating with the mating surfaces of the vacuum cleaner body, the locking seat on the extension tube, and the locking button seat in the locking assembly, the direction in which the user triggers the locking button seat is consistent with the direction in which the extension tube is disassembled, making it convenient for the user to operate and thus improving the user experience.
