Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cleaning, and in particular to a base, a cleaning system, and a pet care system. Background Technology

[0002] Pet vacuum cleaners are widely used cleaning devices. The working principle of a vacuum cleaner is to use a suction motor to drive an impeller to rotate at high speed, creating negative air pressure within a sealed casing to suck up dust and debris.

[0003] Common vacuum cleaners include canister, upright, and handheld types. To improve the portability and dust capacity of vacuum cleaners, existing technologies combine canister and handheld vacuum cleaners. Canister vacuum cleaners have a larger dust capacity, which can increase the dust capacity of the vacuum cleaner. At the same time, handheld vacuum cleaners are smaller and more convenient to use.

[0004] Combination vacuum cleaners typically consist of three parts: a base, a handheld vacuum cleaner, and accessories. In the current technology, the airflow and structural design of combination vacuum cleaners are unreasonable, resulting in a large overall size, low cleaning efficiency, and inconvenience for users' daily use and storage.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to improve the existing technology to overcome the aforementioned defects. Utility Model Content

[0134] The preferred embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, so that the advantages and features of this utility model can be more easily understood by those skilled in the art, thereby providing a clearer and more definite definition of the protection scope of this utility model. The following embodiments can be appropriately combined with each other. The same reference numerals and symbols in the accompanying drawings and different embodiments are used to represent the same or equivalent elements.

[0135] like Figure 1A and Figure 30 As shown, the pet care system 600 includes a cleaning system 500, which includes a cleaning device 10 and a base 20. The cleaning device 10 can be a pet vacuum cleaner.

[0136] Among them, such as Figure 5A and Figure 4B As shown, the pet vacuum cleaner 10 includes: a main unit housing 101; a dust cup 102, removably connected to the main unit housing 101; an air inlet 104 disposed on the dust cup 102; a suction source 103 disposed within the main unit housing 101 and communicating with the dust cup 102, including a suction motor 1030 and an impeller 1031, the suction motor 1030 driving the impeller 1031 to rotate; and a first filter device 105 disposed within the dust cup 102, used to filter impurities in the air sucked into the dust cup 102, the impurities being pet hair; Figure 1C As shown, the first terminal 2018A is disposed on the pet vacuum cleaner 10;

[0137] Among them, such as Figure 2A , Figure 3 and Figure 30As shown, the base 20 includes: a main body 201, removably connected to the pet vacuum cleaner 10; a dust collection box 202, removably connected to the main body 201; a suction port 203, disposed on the dust collection box 202, and removably connected to the pet accessory 80; and a second filter device 205, disposed inside the dust collection box 202, for filtering pet hair from the air drawn into the dust collection box; as shown Figure 1C and Figure 20 As shown, the second terminal 2018B is disposed on the main body 201 and is used for electrical connection with the first terminal 2018A.

[0138] The pet care system includes a base and a pet vacuum cleaner that is removably attached to the base. Compared to the dust cup of the pet vacuum cleaner, the base has a larger dust collection box, which increases the dust capacity of the cleaning system. At the same time, the pet vacuum cleaner can be detached from the base and used as a standalone handheld vacuum cleaner. The pet vacuum cleaner is small in size and convenient for users to use.

[0139] In some implementations, such as Figure 4B and Figure 5A As shown, the air inlet 104 includes a first air inlet 1041 and a second air inlet 1042, which are disposed on the dust cup 102; the first filter device 105 divides the dust cup 102 into a first compartment 106A and a second compartment 106B, with the first air inlet 1041 connected to the first compartment 106A and the second air inlet 1042 connected to the second compartment 106B.

[0140] In some embodiments, the cleaning system 500 further includes a first air passage 301 and a second air passage 302. For example... Figure 3 As shown, air in the first air path 301 flows from the suction port 203 through the second filter device 205, the first air inlet 1041, and the first compartment 106A to the suction motor 1030; as Figure 4B As shown, the air in the second air passage 302 passes through the second air inlet 1042 sequentially through the second compartment 106B, the first filter device 105, and the first compartment 106A to the suction motor 1030.

[0141] In some embodiments, the cleaning system 500 also includes a switching mechanism 204 operable to switch between a first state and a second state.

[0142] In some implementations, such as Figure 3 As shown, when the base 20 is connected to the pet vacuum cleaner 10, the switching mechanism 204 is in the first state. At this time, the first air passage 301 is open and the second air passage 302 is closed, so that pet hair in the air is filtered and collected in the dust collection box 202 by the second filter device 205; Figure 4BAs shown, when the base 20 is disconnected from the pet vacuum cleaner 10, the switching mechanism 204 is in the second state. At this time, the first air passage 301 is closed and the second air passage 302 is open, so that the pet hair in the air is filtered and collected in the second compartment 106B by the first filter device 105.

[0143] When a pet vacuum cleaner's dust cup is filled with pet hair and the user hasn't emptied it, directly mounting the vacuum cleaner to the base will cause the dust cup to connect with the base. The pet hair in the dust cup will reduce the vacuum cleaner's suction power, leading to a decreased user experience. More specifically, factors affecting a pet vacuum cleaner's suction power include the suction motor power and airflow. With the same suction motor power, the airflow is related to the vacuum cleaner's minimum air intake cross-sectional area. When the dust cup is full of pet hair, the hair adheres to the filter and occupies a significant amount of space within the dust cup, reducing the filter's effective air intake cross-sectional area below the vacuum cleaner's minimum. In this case, the vacuum cleaner's airflow is directly related to the filter's effective air intake cross-sectional area. If the pet hair in the dust cup isn't emptied, cleaning efficiency will be affected, whether the vacuum cleaner is used independently or in combination with the base.

[0144] The layout described above is designed to solve the aforementioned problems. The dust cup is divided into a first compartment and a second compartment by a first filter device. When the pet vacuum cleaner is used as a standalone handheld vacuum cleaner, air enters through the second air inlet and is filtered by the first filter device. Pet hair is collected in the second compartment, while the first compartment is free of pet hair. When the pet vacuum cleaner is mounted on the base, pet hair is collected in the base, and filtered air enters the first compartment through the first air inlet. Since the first compartment is free of pet hair, there is little resistance when the air flows from the first air inlet to the suction motor. Therefore, even if the user forgets to empty the pet hair from the second compartment, it will not affect the suction power of the cleaning system, thereby improving cleaning efficiency.

[0145] In some embodiments, the switching mechanism includes a first triggering device located on either the pet vacuum cleaner 10 or the main body 201. When the main body 201 is connected to the pet vacuum cleaner 10, the first triggering device opens the first air inlet 1041; when the main body 201 is disconnected from the pet vacuum cleaner 10, the first triggering device closes the first air inlet 1042.

[0146] Optionally, the user can manually trigger the first triggering device to open or close the first air inlet 1042. Optionally, the first triggering device can be a valve, which the user can flip or slide to open or close the first air inlet.

[0147] Optionally, the first triggering device to open the first air inlet 1042 is triggered by the airflow drawn in the first air passage 301. In this embodiment, the first triggering device is specifically a valve. When the pet vacuum cleaner 10 is connected to the base 20, the valve is configured to be pushed inward by the airflow drawn in the first air passage 301, that is, the valve flips inward toward the dust cup. The valve is also configured to automatically close the first air inlet 1041 when the pet vacuum cleaner 10 is removed from the main body 201.

[0148] Furthermore, the switching mechanism also includes a second trigger located on either the pet vacuum cleaner 10 or the main body 201. When the main body 201 is connected to the pet vacuum cleaner 10, the first triggering device cooperates with the second triggering member to cause the switching mechanism 204 to switch from the second state to the first state.

[0149] In some implementations, such as Figure 6A and Figure 6B The image shows the dust cup 102 of a pet vacuum cleaner 10' in another embodiment of this application. The difference between the pet vacuum cleaner 10 and the pet vacuum cleaner 10 is that the switching mechanism, air inlet and first filter device are set differently. The same structure is represented by the same reference numerals and symbols, and will not be described again here.

[0150] In this embodiment, the second trigger of the switching mechanism is part of the main body 201, such as a slide rail (not shown) connected to the main body 201. The first trigger device includes a valve 2041' on the pet vacuum cleaner 10'. When the pet vacuum cleaner 10'... Figure 1A When mounted on the base 20 from top to bottom as shown, valve 2041' slides within the slide rail to the position where the second air inlet 1042' is closed; when the pet vacuum cleaner 10' is as shown... Figure 1B As shown, when the valve 20 is disengaged from the base 20 from bottom to top, the valve 2041' slides in the slide rail to the position of closing the first air inlet 1041'.

[0151] Specifically, such as Figure 6A As shown, when the switching mechanism 204' is in the first state, the first air inlet 1041' is open and the second air inlet 1042' is closed by the switching mechanism 204'; Figure 6B As shown, when the switching mechanism 204' is in the second state, the first air inlet 1041' is closed by the switching mechanism 204' and the second air inlet 1042' is opened.

[0152] like Figure 6A and Figure 6BAs shown in the diagram, with the pet vacuum cleaner 10' placed on the horizontal plane P as the reference point, other components of the pet vacuum cleaner 10' are omitted here. The dust cup 102 is also horizontally positioned. The direction perpendicular to the horizontal plane P is the up-down direction, and the front-back direction of the pet vacuum cleaner 10' is perpendicular to the up-down direction. Furthermore, the direction orthogonal to both the front-back and up-down directions is defined as the left-right direction (e.g., ...). Figure 5A (As shown).

[0153] In some implementations, such as Figure 6A and Figure 6B As shown, the first filter device 105' divides the dust cup 102 into a first compartment 106A and a second compartment 106B; the air inlet 104' is connected to the first compartment 106A or the second compartment 106B.

[0154] Specifically, the first triggering device includes a function that can... Figure 6A and Figure 6B The valve 2041' shown is translatable in the front-to-back direction; the first filter device 105' is arranged vertically in the up-down direction, dividing the dust cup 102 into a first compartment 106A and a second compartment 106B. Simultaneously, with the extension axis of the first filter device 105' in the up-down direction as the dividing line, the air inlet 104' is divided into a first air inlet 1041' closer to the suction source 103 and a second air inlet 1042' farther from the suction source 103. Optionally, the first filter device 105' can also be arranged obliquely inside the dust cup.

[0155] like Figure 6A As shown, when the base 20 is connected to the pet vacuum cleaner 10', the switching mechanism 204' is in the first state, and the valve 2041' moves forward to the position of the second air inlet 1042' (equivalent to turning the pet vacuum cleaner 10' as shown). Figure 1A When installed on the base 20 from top to bottom, valve 2041' slides down in the slide rail to the position of closing the second air inlet 1042'. The first air inlet 1041' opens and the second air inlet 1042' is closed by valve 2041'. At this time, the first air passage 301 is open and the second air passage 302 is closed. Pet hair in the air is filtered and collected in the dust collection box 202 by the second filter device 205.

[0156] like Figure 6B As shown, when the base 20 is disconnected from the pet vacuum cleaner 10', the switching mechanism 204' is in the second state, and the valve 2041' moves backward to the position of the first air inlet 1041' (equivalent to turning the pet vacuum cleaner 10' as if...). Figure 1BAs shown, when the device detaches from the base 20 from bottom to top, the valve 2041' slides upward in the slide rail to the position of closing the first air inlet 1041'. The first air inlet 1041' is closed by the valve 2041' and the second air inlet 1042' is opened. At this time, the first air passage 301 is closed and the second air passage 302 is open. Pet hair in the air is filtered and collected in the second compartment 106B by the first filter device 105'.

[0157] As described above, the switching mechanism and air inlet setup are simple. Only one air inlet needs to be set on the dust cup, and the first or second air inlet can be closed through a switching mechanism, eliminating the need to set a corresponding closing mechanism on the base.

[0158] In some embodiments, the first triggering device includes a first trigger member. When the main body 201 is connected to the pet vacuum cleaner 10, the second trigger member causes the first trigger member to open the first air inlet 1041; when the main body 201 is disconnected from the pet vacuum cleaner 10, the first trigger member closes the first air inlet.

[0159] Optionally, the second trigger is part of the main body 201, such as a push block (not shown) integrally formed with the main body 201. The first trigger is a valve, configured to be pushed open by the push block. When the pet vacuum cleaner 10 is connected to the base 20, the push block pushes open the valve, causing the valve to rotate around the pivot axis and open the first air inlet 1041, thereby connecting the pet vacuum cleaner 10 and the base 20. At this time, the switching mechanism 204 is in the first state, the first air passage 301 is open and the second air passage 302 is closed. When the pet vacuum cleaner 10 is disconnected from the base 20, the valve automatically closes the first air inlet 1041. At this time, the switching mechanism 204 is in the second state, the first air passage 301 is closed and the second air passage 302 is open.

[0160] Optionally, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4B As shown, the first triggering device also includes a linkage member 2042 connected to the first trigger member 2041. When the main body 201 is connected to the pet vacuum cleaner 10, the second trigger member 2013 presses against the linkage member 2042, causing the linkage member 2042 to drive the first trigger member 2041 to open the first air inlet 1041. When the main body 201 is disconnected from the pet vacuum cleaner 10, the first trigger member 2041 closes the first air inlet 1041.

[0161] If users need to manually open the first air inlet when operating the cleaning system, it will cause inconvenience; or if users forget to open the first air inlet, the suction source will not be able to suck up air, and the cleaning system will not function properly. As described above, the trigger automatically switches the state of the switching mechanism, connecting the base and the pet vacuum cleaner, improving the convenience of user operation.

[0162] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4B As shown, the switching mechanism 204 also includes a resilient reset element (not shown). The resilient reset element is linked to the first trigger element 2041. When the main body 201 is disconnected from the pet vacuum cleaner 10, the resilient reset element causes the first trigger element 2041 to reset from open to closed. If the user needs to manually close the first air inlet when operating the cleaning system, it will cause inconvenience; or if the user forgets to close it, the first air inlet will not be sealed when the pet vacuum cleaner is used independently, weakening the airtightness and affecting the suction power. With the above-described configuration, the resilient reset element applies a force to the valve to automatically switch it from the open position to the closed position, improving the convenience of user operation.

[0163] In some embodiments, the pet vacuum cleaner 10 also includes a control module and a detection module (not shown). When the detection module detects that the pet vacuum cleaner 10 is connected to the base 20, the control module controls the switching mechanism 204 to switch from the second state to the first state. When the detection module does not detect that the pet vacuum cleaner 10 is connected to the base 20, the control module controls the switching mechanism 204 to switch from the first state to the second state.

[0164] In some implementations, such as Figure 3 and Figure 13 As shown, the second air inlet 1042 is externally connected to an air inlet pipe 107. When the base 20 is connected to the pet vacuum cleaner 10, the port 1070 of the air inlet pipe 107 is positioned and closed by the closing mechanism 2014E on the main body 201, thereby closing the second air passage 302. Specifically, the closing mechanism 2014E includes a positioning rib 2014E-1 and a sealing gasket 2014E-2 adapted to the port 1070. When the base 20 is connected to the pet vacuum cleaner 10, the air inlet pipe 107 is positioned in the receiving position by the positioning rib 2014E-1 and the port 1070 is sealed and closed by the sealing gasket 2014E-2. In other embodiments, the closing mechanism can also be implemented using other structures, such as a stepped mechanism that can block the port, or a groove provided on the main body, the groove being configured to fit the outer contour of the port (or the outer contour of the shell around the port).

[0165] In some implementations, such as Figure 3 As shown, when the switching mechanism 204 is in the first state, the first air inlet 1041 is opened and the second air inlet 1042 is closed; Figure 4B As shown, when the switching mechanism 204 is in the second state, the first air inlet 1041 is closed and the second air inlet 1042 is opened.

[0166] In some implementations, such as Figure 4BAs shown, the first air inlet 1041 is set independently of the second air inlet 1042. This layout ensures that the two air inlets do not affect each other.

[0167] In some implementations, such as Figure 4B As shown, the first air inlet 1041 and the second air inlet 1042 are located on the same side of the dust cup 102. This arrangement makes it more convenient to connect the pet vacuum cleaner 10 to the base 20, and the dust cup 102 is small in size.

[0168] Specifically, such as Figure 4B As shown, the pet vacuum cleaner 10 is placed on a horizontal plane P. A plane passing through the motor axis 1032 and parallel to the horizontal plane P is defined as the reference plane. The first air inlet 1041 and the second air inlet 1042 are located on the same side of the reference plane, or optionally, on the lower side of the reference plane.

[0169] In some implementations, such as Figure 5B and 5C As shown, the first air inlet 1041 and the second air inlet 1042 are located in the same plane, that is, the central extension axis A of the first air inlet 1041 in the front-back direction coincides with the central extension axis B of the second air inlet 1042 in the front-back direction.

[0170] In some implementations, such as Figure 4B As shown, the first air inlet 1041 is positioned closer to the suction source 103 than the second air inlet 1042. Specifically, when the pet vacuum cleaner 10 is placed on a horizontal plane P, the minimum distance between the first air inlet 1041 and the suction source 103 in the front-to-back direction is less than the minimum distance between the second air inlet 1042 and the suction source 103. This arrangement shortens the airflow path from the first air inlet 1041 to the suction source 103, thereby reducing noise and airflow loss.

[0171] In some implementations, such as Figure 4B As shown, the first filter device 105 is configured as a filter plate with filter mesh. Since the first filter device needs to occupy a certain space in the dust cup, configuring it as a simple filter plate with filter mesh can reduce the space occupied by the first filter device in the dust cup, thereby freeing up space to collect more pet hair and improving the cleaning efficiency of the cleaning equipment.

[0172] In some implementations, such as Figure 4B As shown, both ends of the filter plate 105 abut against the inner wall of the dust cup 102.

[0173] Specifically, the dust cup 102 includes an upper sidewall 1022 and a lower sidewall 1023 disposed opposite to each other, the air inlet 104 is located on the lower sidewall 1023, and the filter plate 105 abuts against the upper sidewall 1022 and the lower sidewall 1023.

[0174] Optionally, such as Figure 4B As shown, the central axis F of the dust cup 102 in the front-to-back direction intersects the plane where the filter plate is located, with the minimum angle between the intersections ranging from 45 degrees to 85 degrees. Further, the minimum angle between the intersections ranges from 60 degrees to 80 degrees. Since the first compartment does not need to collect pet hair, this layout allows the filter plate to be placed at a rearward angle within the dust cup, thereby compressing the space within the first compartment, expanding the collection space within the second compartment, and increasing the dust cup's capacity.

[0175] Optionally, such as Figure 7 The image shows a pet vacuum cleaner 10” in another embodiment of this application. The difference between the pet vacuum cleaner 10” and the pet vacuum cleaner 10” is that the first filter device is set in a different way. The same structure is represented by the same reference numerals and symbols, which will not be described in detail here. The central extension axis F of the dust cup 102 in the front-back direction is perpendicular to the plane where the filter plate 105” is located.

[0176] In some implementations, such as Figure 4B As shown, the dust cup 102 has a rear sidewall 1020 close to the suction source 103 and a front sidewall 1021 away from the suction source 103. The minimum distance between the second air inlet 1042 and the first filter device 105 is less than the minimum distance between the second air inlet 1042 and the front sidewall 1021.

[0177] As described above, the second air inlet is closer to the first filter. The mixture of air and pet hair entering through the second air inlet is directly filtered by the first filter, while the pet hair is thrown into the second compartment. This prevents incomplete filtration when the second air inlet is positioned too far from the first filter, which would be problematic if the second air inlet were closer to the front wall of the dust cup. Furthermore, when the user holds the pet vacuum cleaner vertically, the placement of the second air inlet away from the front wall of the dust cup prevents pet hair from slipping out of the second air inlet.

[0178] In some implementations, such as Figure 4B , Figure 6A , Figure 6B , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the volume of the first compartment 106A is smaller than the volume of the second compartment 106B. Since pet hair in the first airflow path is collected inside the base, the cleaned airflow flows through the first compartment to the suction source. The first compartment is an airflow duct, not for collecting pet hair. Pet hair in the second airflow path is collected in the second compartment. Without increasing the size of the dust cup structure, the smaller volume of the first compartment results in a larger volume of the second compartment, thereby increasing the dust cup's capacity and improving the cleaning efficiency of the pet vacuum cleaner.

[0179] In some implementations, such as Figure 4B , Figure 6A, Figure 6B , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the first compartment 106A and the second compartment 106B are arranged adjacent to each other along the longitudinal extension direction of the main body housing 101. Specifically, when the pet vacuum cleaner is placed horizontally on the horizontal plane P, the main body housing 101 extends longitudinally in the front-to-back direction, and the adjacent arrangement of the first compartment 106A and the second compartment 106B can reduce the volume of the dust cup 102.

[0180] In some implementations, such as Figure 1C As shown, the main body 201 is provided with a connecting interface 2010 for communicating with the first air inlet 1041. A sealing element 2017 is provided at the first air inlet 1041. When the main body 201 is connected to the pet vacuum cleaner 10, the first air inlet 1041 and the connecting interface 2010 are sealed together. This arrangement ensures the airtightness of the pet vacuum cleaner when connected to the base. Optionally, the sealing element 2017 can also be provided at the connecting interface 2010.

[0181] Furthermore, such as Figure 28 and Figure 29 As shown, when the pet vacuum cleaner 10 is connected to the base 20, the pet vacuum cleaner 10 abuts against the base 20 in the front-to-back direction.

[0182] like Figure 8 As shown, another embodiment of the present application provides a pet vacuum cleaner 10”'. The difference between this and the pet vacuum cleaner 10 is that the specific implementation method for preventing the suction power of the pet vacuum cleaner is different. The same structure is represented by the same reference numerals and symbols, which will not be described again here.

[0183] like Figure 8 As shown, the pet vacuum cleaner 10”' includes a main unit housing 101; a dust cup 102 connected to the main unit housing 101; an air inlet 104”' disposed on the dust cup 102; a suction source 103 disposed inside the main unit housing 101, including a suction motor 1030 and an impeller 1031, the suction motor 1030 driving the impeller 1031 to rotate, so as to draw air from the air inlet 104”' into the dust cup 102; and a filter device 105”' disposed inside the dust cup 102 and located between the suction source 103 and the air inlet 104”', for filtering pet hair in the air sucked into the dust cup 102; wherein, the air inlet 104”' is connected to an air inlet pipe 107, and air enters the dust cup 102 through the air inlet pipe 107, and the minimum angle θ1 formed by the extension direction of the air inlet pipe 107 and the extension direction of the filter device 105”' does not exceed 60 degrees.

[0184] As mentioned above, under the same suction motor power, the flow rate is related to the minimum air intake cross-sectional area of ​​the pet vacuum cleaner. When a lot of pet hair is attached to the filter in the dust cup, the effective air intake cross-sectional area of ​​the filter is reduced to below the minimum air intake cross-sectional area of ​​the pet vacuum cleaner. At this time, the flow rate is related to the effective air intake cross-sectional area of ​​the filter. By setting the minimum angle between the airflow direction and the extension direction of the filter to no more than 60 degrees, the airflow is made to blow towards the filter in a way that is parallel to the filter or at a small angle to the filter. The airflow has a scraping effect on the surface of the filter. Therefore, when too much pet hair is attached to the filter and the suction is affected, the airflow can be self-cleaned by the airflow on the filter by adjusting the direction of the filter and the airflow, thereby increasing the effective air intake cross-sectional area of ​​the filter and improving the cleaning efficiency of the pet vacuum cleaner.

[0185] Furthermore, the minimum angle θ1 formed by the extension direction of the air inlet duct 107 and the extension direction of the filter device 105”' does not exceed 45 degrees, and further, the minimum angle θ1 does not exceed 20 degrees.

[0186] The smaller the angle between the airflow direction and the extension direction of the filter device, the more tangentially the air and pet hair mixture is drawn into the filter device surface. This prevents the mixture from being blown directly onto the filter device surface in a roughly vertical direction. If the mixture is blown onto the filter device in a roughly vertical direction, the filtered pet hair will be pressed layer by layer onto the filter device surface, ultimately reducing the filtration effect and the effective air intake cross-sectional area. The above-described implementation method prevents the filter mesh on the filter device surface from being clogged quickly, thereby improving the filtration effect and increasing the effective air intake cross-sectional area.

[0187] In some implementations, such as Figure 8 As shown, the minimum distance between the air inlet 104”' and the filter device 105”' is less than the minimum distance between the air inlet 104”' and the front sidewall 1021. This arrangement brings the air inlet closer to the filter device, allowing at least a portion of the airflow entering from the air inlet to be tangential to the surface of the filter device. This self-cleaning process removes pet hair that was originally attached to the surface of the filter device, ultimately increasing the effective air intake cross-sectional area of ​​the filter device and improving the cleaning efficiency of the pet vacuum cleaner.

[0188] In some implementations, such as Figure 8 As shown, the suction motor 1030 has a motor axis 1032, and the extension direction of the filter device 105”' intersects the motor axis 1032.

[0189] Furthermore, the minimum angle α between the extending direction of the filter device 105”' and the motor axis 1032 ranges from 45 degrees to 85 degrees. This arrangement allows the filter device to be tilted within the dust cup. When airflow enters the dust cup from the inlet, due to the tilted filter device, the airflow is thrown along the tilted filter device towards the cup wall, further separating the airflow. Heavier pet hair is collected downwards within the dust cup, while lighter air flows towards the suction source. Further, the minimum angle α between the extending direction of the filter device 105”' and the motor axis 1032 ranges from 60 degrees to 80 degrees.

[0190] In some implementations, such as Figure 8 As shown, the angle β between the extending direction of the filter device 105”' and the extending direction of the rear sidewall 1020 ranges from 5 degrees to 45 degrees. This arrangement allows the filter device to be tilted inside the dust cup with a relatively small rearward tilt angle, ensuring a large dust holding capacity of the dust cup while also allowing the airflow to be thrown against the dust cup wall for further separation through the tilted filter device. Furthermore, the angle β between the extending direction of the filter device 105”' and the extending direction of the rear sidewall 1020 ranges from 10 degrees to 30 degrees.

[0191] In some implementations, such as Figure 8 As shown, the air inlet pipe 107 includes an air inlet bend 107A, which is connected to the air inlet 104”'. The angle θ2 between the extension direction of the filter device 105”' and the tangential direction of the air inlet bend 107A does not exceed 20 degrees.

[0192] Specifically, the air inlet duct 107 includes an air inlet bend 107A and a second air inlet duct 107B. Airflow is delivered to the air inlet 104”' via the air inlet bend 107A before entering the dust cup 102 from the air inlet 104”'. Figure 8 In the cross-sectional view of the pet vacuum cleaner shown, the air inlet bend 107A includes an upper cross-sectional curve 107A1 and a lower cross-sectional curve 107A2. The tangent direction of the air inlet bend 107A refers to the point on the inner wall of the lower cross-sectional curve 107A2 closest to the air inlet 104”' as the tangent point. The tangent direction of the lower cross-sectional curve 107A2 drawn at this tangent point is the tangent direction of the air inlet bend 107A.

[0193] Due to the function of the inlet bend, the airflow flows along the inlet bend and, under the action of inertia, continues to enter the dust cup along the path of the inlet bend for a period of time. When entering the dust cup, it moves along a parabola. The angle between the extension direction of the filter device and the tangent direction of the inlet bend does not exceed 20 degrees, so that the airflow entering the dust cup can play a self-cleaning role on the surface of the filter device, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency of the pet vacuum cleaner.

[0194] In some embodiments, the air inlet duct 107 includes an air inlet straight duct (not shown), along which airflow enters the dust cup 102. The angle between the extension direction of the filter device 105”' and the central extension axis of the air inlet straight duct is no more than 20 degrees. Due to the effect of the air inlet straight duct, the airflow enters the dust cup in a direction approximately parallel to the central extension axis of the air inlet straight duct, and the angle between the extension direction of the filter device and the central extension axis of the air inlet straight duct is no more than 20 degrees. This allows the airflow entering the dust cup to perform a self-cleaning function on the surface of the filter device, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency of the pet vacuum cleaner.

[0195] In some implementations, such as Figure 8 As shown, the minimum distance between the filter device 105”' and the front sidewall 1021 is greater than or equal to the minimum distance between the filter device 105” and the rear sidewall 1020. This allows the filter device to be positioned closer to the suction source, ensuring the dust cup's dust holding capacity.

[0196] In some implementations, such as Figure 5A As shown, the pet vacuum cleaner 10 also includes an end cap 1025 pivotally connected to the dust cup 102 and a locking / unlocking mechanism 1026 disposed on the dust cup 102 for locking or unlocking the end cap 1025. Specifically, the locking / unlocking mechanism 1026 includes an unlocking button 1026A and a locking element 1026B connected to the unlocking button 1026A. Optionally, the unlocking button 1026A and the locking element 1026B are integrally formed. The end cover 1025 has a slot (not shown) that matches the locking element 1026B. The end cover 1025 is locked onto the dust cup 102 through the cooperation between the locking element 1026B and the slot. When it is necessary to unlock the end cover 1025, the user presses down on the unlocking button 1026A. The locking element 1026B connected to the unlocking button 1026A rotates counterclockwise to the unlock position. At this time, the locking element 1026B disengages from the slot, and the end cover 1025 rotates clockwise along the pivot axis to open, allowing the user to empty the pet hair from the dust cup. This method allows the user to open the cover and empty the dust cup with one click, which is simple to operate and does not easily get the user's hands dirty.

[0197] In some implementations, such as Figure 5A As shown, the pet vacuum cleaner 10 also includes a handle 110, one end of which is connected to the main unit housing 101, and the handle 110 extends in the front-to-back direction. The pet vacuum cleaner 10 also includes a first user interface 111A disposed on the handle 110, through which the user can perform operations such as starting / stopping the pet vacuum cleaner and adjusting the suction power of the pet vacuum cleaner.

[0198] In some implementations, such as Figure 1A and Figure 1BAs shown, the pet vacuum cleaner 10 also includes a second user interface 111B, which is disposed on the main unit housing 101. Specifically, the main unit housing 101 has an upper end face 1010 away from the dust cup 102, and the second user interface 111B is disposed on this end face. When the pet vacuum cleaner is installed on the base, since the second user interface is disposed on the upper end face of the main unit housing, the second user interface faces the user, allowing the user to perform a series of operations on the cleaning system through the second user interface 111B, making operation more convenient.

[0199] In some implementations, such as Figure 1B As shown, in order to facilitate user use of the cleaning system 500 and to make the location of use of the cleaning system 500 unrestricted, the cleaning system 500 also includes a battery pack 109 for powering the pet vacuum cleaner 10 or the base 20.

[0200] In some implementations, such as Figure 5A As shown, the pet vacuum cleaner 10 also includes a battery pack 109 for powering the pet vacuum cleaner 10 and / or the base 20. The battery pack 109 is detachably coupled in the front-rear direction to the lower part of the main housing 101 and the rear of the air inlet duct 107. When the pet vacuum cleaner 10 is placed on a horizontal surface, the lower surfaces (not shown) of the battery pack 109 and the air inlet duct 107 are supported on the horizontal surface.

[0201] like Figure 9 As shown in the figure, the base 20 is placed on the horizontal plane P as the reference. The direction perpendicular to the horizontal plane P is the up and down direction, that is, the height direction of the base. The front and back direction of the base 20 is perpendicular to the up and down direction, that is, the length direction of the base. In addition, the direction that is orthogonal to both the front and back direction and the up and down direction is the left and right direction, that is, the width direction of the base.

[0202] To make the base small in size and compact in structure, making it easy for users to store, such as Figures 9-11 As shown, the main body 201 of the base 20 also has a support 2011 for contacting the horizontal plane P; the suction port 203 is used to removably attach the pet accessory 80 (such as...). Figure 21A and Figure 30 As shown), when the suction port 203 is connected to the pet accessory 80, the suction port 203 is configured to suck up pet hair generated when the pet accessory 80 is working; wherein, the main body 201 extends longitudinally in the vertical direction and is perpendicular to the support part 2011 in the vertical direction.

[0203] In existing technologies, to work with pet vacuum cleaners, the base is horizontal, with the main unit extending roughly in the front-to-back direction, i.e., laterally. The base appears as a horizontally extending cuboid, resulting in an excessively long base or large footprint, making it inconvenient for users to store. In this embodiment, the base extends longitudinally along a vertical direction perpendicular to the support, allowing the base to utilize vertical space for its layout. This shortens the base's length, enabling users to store the base in smaller spaces.

[0204] Furthermore, such as Figures 9-11 As shown, the support part 2011 is a support plate, which is used to support the pet vacuum cleaner 10 and / or the pet accessory 80.

[0205] In some implementations, such as Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, the dust collection box 202 extends longitudinally in the vertical direction. This layout, along with the vertical extension of the base, allows the dust collection box to utilize the space in the vertical direction for dust collection, thus shortening its length in the front-to-back direction. Furthermore, the ratio of the dust collection box length L5 to the base body length L1 ranges from 0.1:1 to 0.4:1. Therefore, the dust collection box length is a relatively small proportion of the main body length, freeing up space in the base body for the arrangement of other components, fully utilizing the space of the base body, and resulting in a compact structure.

[0206] Furthermore, the distance that the dust collection box 202 extends in the vertical direction (i.e., the height H5) is greater than or equal to the distance that the dust collection box 202 extends in the front-back direction (i.e., the length L5, excluding the length of the suction port 203) and / or the distance that the dust collection box 202 extends in the left-right direction (i.e., the width W5, excluding the width of the suction port 203).

[0207] Specifically, such as Figure 11 and Figure 17C As shown, the length-to-height ratio L5:H5 of the dust collection box 202 ranges from 0.13:1 to 1:1; the width-to-height ratio W5:H5 of the dust collection box 202 ranges from 0.6:1 to 1:1. This application optimizes the layout of the dust collection box to make the base structure more compact.

[0208] In some implementations, such as Figures 11-13 As shown, when the dust collection box 202 is fitted onto the main body 201, the dust collection box 202 does not exceed the outer contour of the main body 201. This layout ensures that when the dust collection box and the main body of the base are used together, the dust collection box does not appear obtrusive to the user, and its structure does not protrude from the outer contour line of the main body, thus making the overall size of the base small and the structure compact.

[0209] In some implementations, such as Figure 11 and Figure 17C As shown, the distance the main body 201 extends vertically (i.e., height H1) is greater than or equal to the distance the main body 201 extends forward and backward (i.e., length L1, excluding the length of the suction port 203) and / or the distance the main body 201 extends horizontally (i.e., width W1, excluding the width of the suction port 203). This layout makes the overall shape of the base body vertically tall, making full use of the space in the height direction.

[0210] Specifically, the ratio of the main body length to height L1:H1 ranges from 0.5:1 to 1:1; the ratio of the main body width to height W1:H1 ranges from 0.48:1 to 1:1. This application optimizes the layout of the main body to make the base structure compact.

[0211] In some implementations, such as Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the main body 201 has a receiving section 206, which at least partially houses the pet vacuum cleaner 10. The receiving section on the main body allows the user to easily store the pet vacuum cleaner after use. Furthermore, when the pet vacuum cleaner is mounted on the base, the combined cleaning system is not bulky, preventing the system from becoming cumbersome and allowing the user to conveniently store the entire cleaning system in a small space after use.

[0212] In some implementations, such as Figure 10 As shown, the main body 201 also includes a sidewall extending vertically from the support portion 2011. The support portion 2011 includes an upper surface 2011B and a lower surface 2011A (i.e., a support surface) arranged opposite each other in the vertical direction. The lower surface 2011A is used to support the pet vacuum cleaner on a horizontal plane. The sidewall is recessed in the direction away from the pet vacuum cleaner. The sidewall and the upper surface 2011B form a receiving portion 206. This arrangement can more stably store the pet vacuum cleaner.

[0213] Specifically, such as Figure 10 As shown, the upper surface 2011B of the support plate can be used to support the pet vacuum cleaner 10 and / or the pet accessory 80. The receiving part 206 is a receiving space, which is surrounded by the first inner sidewall 2014A, the second inner sidewall 2014B, the third inner sidewall 2014C, the fourth inner sidewall 2014D and the upper surface 2011B of the support plate 2011. The first inner sidewall 2014A, the second inner sidewall 2014B, the third inner sidewall 2014C and the fourth inner sidewall 2014D are formed by the indentation of the sidewall of the main body 201. The first inner sidewall 2014A and the second inner sidewall 2014B are arranged opposite each other in the left and right direction, and the third inner sidewall 2014C is arranged above the fourth inner sidewall 2014D.

[0214] In some implementations, such as Figure 16 as well as Figure 17C As shown, the distance the receiving part 206 extends in the vertical direction (i.e., height H2) is greater than or equal to the distance the receiving part 206 extends in the front-back direction (i.e., length L2) and / or the distance the receiving part 206 extends in the left-right direction (i.e., width W2). This layout allows the receiving part to extend longitudinally, and the shape of the receiving part is vertically tall, which can make full use of the space in the height direction.

[0215] Specifically, the length-to-height ratio L2:H2 of the housing 206 ranges from 0.25:1 to 1:1; the width-to-height ratio W2:H2 of the housing 206 ranges from 0.15:1 to 1:1. This application optimizes the layout of the housing to make the base structure more compact.

[0216] In some implementations, such as Figure 14 as well as Figure 17A As shown, the dust collection box 202 and the receiving section 206 are arranged opposite each other in the front-to-back direction. Since the receiving section houses the pet vacuum cleaner, the front-to-back arrangement of the dust collection box and the receiving section ensures that neither the dust collection box nor the pet vacuum cleaner will interfere with the other when being removed from the base.

[0217] Specifically, such as Figure 14 As shown, the dust collection box 202 is located on the front side of the base body 201, and correspondingly, the receiving part 206 is located on the rear side of the base body 201 for receiving the pet vacuum cleaner 10. The two are arranged opposite each other in the front-rear direction. In this embodiment, when the user needs to remove the dust collection box 202 from the base 20, the dust collection box 202 moves forward; when the user needs to remove the pet vacuum cleaner 10 from the base 20, the pet vacuum cleaner 10 moves backward or upward. The removal directions of the dust collection box 202 and the pet vacuum cleaner 10 are different, and the removal between the two will not cause interference.

[0218] In some implementations, such as Figure 18 As shown, the dust collection box 202 and the housing 206 at least partially overlap in their projections on the front-rear plane. This arrangement saves space in terms of height and width, resulting in a compact structure.

[0219] In some implementations, such as Figure 23 As shown, the projections of the dust collection box 202 and the receiving part 206 on the vertical plane do not coincide. This arrangement ensures that the removal of the dust collection box or the receiving part in the vertical direction will not cause interference.

[0220] In some implementations, such as Figure 1A , Figure 1B and Figure 10As shown, the housing 206 includes a first housing 206A, in which the battery pack 109 is at least partially housed when the base 20 is connected to the pet vacuum cleaner 10. Utilizing the first housing on the base to house the battery pack results in a compact structure and reduces the size of the cleaning system.

[0221] Furthermore, such as Figure 1A , Figure 1B and Figure 10 As shown, the housing section 206 also includes a second housing section 206B. The first housing section 206A is recessed to a greater depth in the front-rear direction than the second housing section 206B, forming a step section 207 between the first housing section 206A and the second housing section 206B. The battery pack 109 is supported on the step section 207. This arrangement allows the battery pack to be supported on the main body of the base, providing stable support.

[0222] Specifically, such as Figure 10 and Figure 17C As shown, the greater depth of the first receiving portion 206A in the front-rear direction than the second receiving portion 206B means that the greater depth of the third inner sidewall 2014C in the front-rear direction than the fourth inner sidewall 2014D. In other words, the distance L2 extending from the first receiving portion 206A in the front-rear direction is greater than the distance L3 extending from the second receiving portion 206B in the front-rear direction. Because of this difference in the distances extending from the first receiving portion 206A to the second receiving portion 206B, a step portion 207 is formed between the first receiving portion 206A and the second receiving portion 206B. The battery pack 109 is housed within the space enclosed by the first inner sidewall 2014A, the second inner sidewall 2014B, the third inner sidewall 2014C, and the step portion 207, and is supported on the step portion 207.

[0223] More specifically, the first receiving portion 206A is a receiving space formed by the first inner sidewall 2014A, the second inner sidewall 2014B, the third inner sidewall 2014C, and the extended plane of the step portion 207 in the front-back direction. When the pet vacuum cleaner 10 is received in the receiving portion 206, the main unit housing 101 and the battery pack 109 of the pet vacuum cleaner 10 are at least partially received in the first receiving portion 206A. The second receiving portion 206B is a receiving space formed by the first inner sidewall 2014A, the second inner sidewall 2014B, the fourth inner sidewall 2014D, the upper surface 2011B of the support plate 2011, and the extended plane of the step portion 207 in the front-back direction. When the pet vacuum cleaner 10 is received in the receiving portion 206, the air inlet pipe 107 and the dust cup 102 of the pet vacuum cleaner 10 are at least partially received in the second receiving portion 206B.

[0224] In some implementations, such as Figure 10 and Figure 14As shown, the main body 201 is provided with a docking interface 2010 for communicating with the pet vacuum cleaner 10. The docking interface 2010 is provided in the receiving part 206, and the central extension axis C of the docking interface 2010 extends in the front-rear direction.

[0225] Specifically, such as Figure 3 , Figure 10 as well as Figure 14 As shown, the opening direction of the interface 2010 is the front-to-back direction. The interface 2010 is located on the fourth inner side wall 2014D and faces the second receiving part 206B. When the pet vacuum cleaner 10 is connected to the base 20, the air inlets 1041, 104', and 104"' on the pet vacuum cleaner 10 also face the second receiving part 206B and are connected to the interface 2010.

[0226] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 and Figure 15 As shown, the dust collection box 202 includes an air outlet 2020 for communicating with the interface 2010, and the air outlet 2020 and the interface 2010 are arranged opposite each other in the front-to-back direction. This arrangement allows the air flowing out of the dust collection box air outlet to flow directly to the interface, without the airflow needing to go through a complex and tortuous flow path, thus avoiding noise and airflow loss.

[0227] In some implementations, such as Figure 1B and Figure 9 As shown, the pet vacuum cleaner 10 is provided with a first locking part 108, and the receiving part 206 is provided with a second locking part 208. The first locking part 108 and the second locking part 208 cooperate to lock the pet vacuum cleaner 10 onto the base 20.

[0228] Specifically, the first locking part 108 is disposed on the main housing 101, and correspondingly, the second locking part 208 is disposed on the first inner sidewall 2014A and / or the second inner sidewall 2014B. Optionally, two first locking parts 108 are provided, symmetrically disposed on the main housing 101, and correspondingly, the second locking parts 208 are disposed on the first inner sidewall 2014A and the second inner sidewall 2014B, symmetrically disposed on the left and right. Optionally, the first locking part 108 is a groove, and the second locking part 208 is a protrusion. The pet vacuum cleaner 10 is fixed on the base 20 by the locking engagement between the protrusion and the groove. Of course, the first locking part 108 and the second locking part 208 can also be other locking forms, such as slots and hooks, as long as they can lock the pet vacuum cleaner on the base. No particular limitation is made here.

[0229] In some implementations, such as Figure 17A As shown, the suction port 203 has a central extending axis D, which is parallel to the front-back direction.

[0230] Furthermore, such as Figure 17A As shown, the suction port 203 is connected to a guide tube 2030, which is located inside the dust collection box 202 to guide the airflow entering from the suction port 203 to the filter device 205. This arrangement prevents the mixture of air and pet hair from accumulating near the suction port. Specifically, the guide tube 2030 is a curved section that redirects the airflow drawn directly from the suction port 203 into the dust collection box 202 towards the filter device, rather than blowing it directly onto the rear wall 2024 of the dust collection box, thus preventing pet hair from accumulating near the suction port.

[0231] In some implementations, such as Figure 17B As shown, the suction port 203 has a central extending axis D', which is parallel to the left-right direction. With the suction port positioned on the left or right side of the base, the airflow drawn in through the suction port can enter the dust collection box tangentially for filtration, resulting in good filtration and preventing the mixture of air and pet hair from accumulating near the suction port.

[0232] In some implementations, such as Figure 17B As shown, the suction port 203 has a central extending axis D', and the minimum included angle between the central extending axis D' and the surface of the filter device 205 facing the suction port 203 does not exceed 20 degrees. Optionally, the central extending axis D' is tangent to the surface of the filter device 205 facing the suction port 203. This arrangement allows the airflow entering from the suction port to enter tangentially to the surface of the filter device, thereby improving cleaning efficiency.

[0233] In some implementations, such as Figure 14 As shown, the dust collection box 202 includes an air outlet 2020 for communication with the pet vacuum cleaner 10. In the vertical direction, the air outlet 2020 is closer to the lower surface 2011A than the suction port 203. This arrangement is more conducive to dust collection.

[0234] In some implementations, such as Figure 15 As shown, the dust collection box 202 includes an air outlet 2020 for communication with the pet vacuum cleaner 10, and a second filter device 205 at least partially covers the air outlet 2020. This arrangement allows the airflow exiting the dust collection box to be filtered, preventing pet hair from flowing into the suction source and causing damage. Optionally, the second filter device 205 is a filter screen, which is simple in structure and low in cost.

[0235] In some implementations, such as Figure 20As shown, the second filtration device 205 is configured as a filter bag, which is fixed inside the dust collection box 202 by a mounting bracket 206. This arrangement allows users to easily clean the dust collection box by simply removing the used filter bag from the mounting bracket and discarding it, replacing it with a new filter bag. Users will not touch the pet hair inside the filter bag with their hands, making cleaning the dust collection box more convenient.

[0236] Furthermore, the filter bag extends vertically and is fixed inside the dust collection box 20. The filter bag is a soft, bag-shaped object. By fixing it vertically, pet hair can fall to the lower part of the filter bag due to its own weight. The space in the height direction of the filter bag is used to collect pet hair, thereby increasing the dust holding capacity of the dust collection box.

[0237] In some implementations, such as Figure 19 As shown, the dust collection box 202 includes a box body 2020 and a removable, sealable box cover 2021. A scraper 2022 is connected to the box cover 2021 for scraping pet hair inside the dust collection box 202. This design makes it convenient for users to clean pet hair from inside the dust collection box.

[0238] Specifically, such as Figure 15 as well as Figure 19 As shown, the lid 2021 has a sealing ring (not shown) that can be sealed to the box body 2020. A sliding rod 2025 is connected to the lid 2021, and a sliding groove (not shown) is provided inside the box body 2020, within which the sliding rod 2025 can move. A scraper 2022 is connected to the end of the sliding rod 2025 away from the lid 2021. When the lid 2021 is installed on the box body 2020, the scraper 2022 and the sliding rod 2025 are located in the internal space of the box body 2020, with the scraper 2022 close to the upper side wall 2024B of the box body 2020. When a user needs to clean pet hair from the dust collection bin 202, the bin cover 2021 is removed to separate it from the bin body 2020. Under the action of the sliding rod 2025 and the sliding groove, the bin cover 2021 is pulled downwards. The sliding rod 2025 drives the scraper 2022 to scrape from top to bottom inside the bin body 2020, thereby removing the pet hair from inside the bin body 2020. Optionally, the sliding rod 2025 and the scraper 2022 are integrated into one unit.

[0239] In some implementations, the mechanism for facilitating the cleaning of pet hair from the dustbin can be similar to the one-touch opening and emptying mechanism on the dust cup. The user can trigger the opening mechanism on the dustbin, causing the lid to flip and the pet hair to be expelled from the dustbin by gravity. Optionally, simultaneously with the one-touch opening, a push-pull mechanism can be used to push the pet hair out of the dustbin.

[0240] For easy storage of cleaning accessories, such as Figure 21AAs shown, the base 20 also includes a storage section 205 for storing at least one pet accessory 80. The storage section 205 is located within the interior space of the main body 201. Specifically, the storage section 205 is a storage space formed by a recess in the side wall of the main body 201. This arrangement makes full use of the interior space of the main body to store cleaning accessories, avoiding the problem of the base becoming larger due to the storage section being located outside the main body, and also avoiding the problem of cleaning accessories being easily lost due to the lack of a storage section.

[0241] In some implementations, such as Figure 21A As shown, the storage section 205 extends vertically. This layout makes the storage section vertically elongated, allowing for the use of vertical space to store longer cleaning accessories.

[0242] Optionally, such as Figure 16 as well as Figure 17C As shown, the distance the storage part 205 extends in the vertical direction (i.e., the height H4) is greater than or equal to the distance the storage part 205 extends in the front-back direction (i.e., the length L4) or the distance the storage part 205 extends in the left-right direction (i.e., the width W4).

[0243] Specifically, the length-to-height ratio L4:H4 of the storage section 205 ranges from 0.27:1 to 1:1; the width-to-height ratio W4:H4 of the storage section 205 ranges from 0.27:1 to 1:1. This application optimizes the layout of the storage section to make the base structure more compact.

[0244] Optionally, such as Figure 21A As shown, at least one pet accessory 80 is placed in the storage section 205 in the vertical direction.

[0245] In some implementations, such as Figure 21A As shown, the storage section 205 includes a first storage section 205A and a second storage section 205B, which are arranged opposite to each other in the left-right direction. Optionally, the first storage section 205A and the second storage section 205B are arranged symmetrically in the left-right direction.

[0246] Specifically, the first storage section 205A will be described in detail. The first storage section 205A is formed by the indentation of a portion of the left side wall (not shown) and a portion of the rear side wall (not shown) of the main body 201. The indentation of a portion of the left side wall of the main body 201 forms a fifth inner side wall 2016A, and the indentation of a portion of the rear side wall of the main body 201 forms a sixth inner side wall 2016B. The fifth inner side wall 2016A, the sixth inner side wall 2016B, the top wall 2016C, and the upper surface 2011B together enclose the storage space of the first storage section 205A.

[0247] In some implementations, such as Figure 21AAs shown, the projections of the receiving section 206 and the storage section 205 onto a plane perpendicular to the left and right directions at least partially overlap. This arrangement can save on the height or length of the base, making the base structure more compact.

[0248] In some implementations, such as Figure 21A As shown, the storage section 205 includes at least one support base 2051 disposed on the main body 201 for fixing the cleaning attachment 40. This arrangement allows the cleaning attachment to be stably supported within the storage section, preventing the cleaning attachment from being scattered haphazardly within the storage section.

[0249] In some implementations, such as Figure 21A As shown, the main body 201 also includes a door 207 for closing or opening the storage section 205. Specifically, one side of the door 207 is pivotally mounted on the main body 201, and the other side of the door 207 is snap-fitted or magnetically engaged with the main body 201. The door prevents cleaning accessories from being accidentally lost or falling off.

[0250] In some implementations, such as Figure 21B As shown, a hanging device (not shown) is provided on the inner wall of the door 207, and the pet accessory 80 is suspended on the hanging device.

[0251] To facilitate the removal of the dust collection box from the main body for cleaning, such as Figure 15 and Figure 22 As shown, the base 20 also includes a fixing / releasing mechanism 60, which includes an operating member 601 and an elastic member. The operating member 601 is operable to release the dust collection box 202 and the main body 201 from locking. The elastic member is configured to release a spring force in response to the operation of the operating member 601 to push the dust collection box 202 away from the main body 201.

[0252] Specifically, such as Figure 15 and Figure 22 As shown, the fixing / releasing mechanism 60 of the dust collection box 202 includes an operating member 601, which is disposed on the main body 201; a connecting rod 602, which is connected to the operating member 601 and extends in the left-right direction; a hook 603, which is connected to the end of the connecting rod 602. Optionally, the connecting rod 602 and the hook 603 are integrally formed; and an elastic element, specifically a leaf spring 604, which is connected to the main body 201. Correspondingly, a fixing member 2026 and an abutting member 2027 that abut against the leaf spring 604 are provided on the upper side wall 2024B of the dust collection box 202. When the dust collection box is in the locked state, the hook 603 and the fixing member 2026 are engaged with each other, and the leaf spring 604 and the abutting member 2027 are pressed against each other, so the leaf spring 604 is in a compressed state. Optionally, the fixing / releasing mechanism 60 consists of two sets of mechanisms arranged symmetrically on the left and right sides.

[0253] When it is necessary to unlock the dust collection box 202, the user presses the operating component 601. The operating component 601 drives the connecting rod 602 and the hook 603 to move downward, thereby disengaging the hook 603 from the fixing component 2026. At this time, the elastic force of the leaf spring 604 is released, pushing the dust collection box 202 away from the main body 201, so that the user can remove the dust collection box 202 from the main body 201 for cleaning.

[0254] Furthermore, such as Figure 20 As shown, at least one slot 2015 is provided on the side of the main body 201 opposite to the fixing / releasing mechanism 60, and at least one buckle 2028 is provided on the corresponding dust collection box 202. When the dust collection box 202 is in the locked state, one end of the dust collection box 202 is fixed by the cooperation of the buckle 2028 and the slot 2015, and the other end is locked to the main body 201 by the fixing / releasing mechanism 60, so that the dust collection box 202 is stably installed on the main body 201. In this embodiment, a pair of buckles 2028 and slots 2015 are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides respectively.

[0255] The base has a compact structure and high space utilization. While ensuring a small size, the base makes full use of space to arrange the dust collection box, the housing section and the storage section.

[0256] like Figure 17A and 17C As shown, within the range of the main body length L1, since the dust collection box 202 extends longitudinally in the vertical direction, it utilizes the space in the height direction for dust collection, thereby shortening the length L5 of the dust collection box. In the front-back direction, the ratio of L5 to L1 reaches 0.1:1 to 0.4:1. It can be seen that the length of the dust collection box accounts for a small proportion of the main body length, thus freeing up space in terms of length for the arrangement of the receiving part 206 and the storage part 205.

[0257] Specifically, the length ratio of the first receiving section 206A to the main body 201, L2:L1, ranges from 0.25:1 to 0.75:1; the length ratio of the second receiving section 206B to the main body 201, L3:L1, ranges from 0.15:1 to 0.5:1; the length ratio of the storage section 205 to the main body 201, L4:L1, ranges from 0.25:1 to 0.75:1. This application optimizes the layout of the dust collection box, receiving section, and storage section in the front-rear direction, making the base structure compact.

[0258] like Figure 17A and 17CAs shown, the width W2 of the receiving section 206 is smaller than the width W1 of the main body. The first receiving section 205A and the second receiving section 205B can be arranged using the width difference between the two. Optionally, the receiving section 206 is located in the middle, and the first receiving section 205A and the second receiving section 205B are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the receiving section 206.

[0259] Specifically, the width of the first storage section 205A is W41, and the width of the second storage section 205B is W42, where the sum of W41 and W42 is the distance W4 extending from the storage section 205 in the left-right direction. The width ratio W2:W1 of the receiving section 206 to the main body 201 ranges from 0.24:1 to 0.64:1; the width ratio W41 of the first storage section 205A to the main body 201 ranges from 0.18:1 to 0.38:1; the width ratio W42 of the second storage section 205B to the main body 201 ranges from 0.18:1 to 0.38:1; and the width ratio W5 of the dust collection box 202 to the main body 201 ranges from 0.7:1 to 1:1. This application optimizes the layout of the dust collection box, receiving section, and storage section in the left-right direction, making the base structure compact.

[0260] In this application, the dust collection box is vertically elongated and positioned at the front of the base. Therefore, the dust collection box is relatively tall, utilizing vertical space for dust collection. However, the length of the dust collection box is relatively short, and its width is roughly the same as the main body of the base. The width of the receiving and storage sections is smaller than the width of the dust collection box. Therefore, the rear space of the rear side wall of the dust collection box can be used to arrange the receiving and storage sections. The receiving section is centrally located at the rear of the dust collection box, and the storage sections are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the receiving section. This layout makes full use of space in both the length and width dimensions of the base, ensuring high space utilization. It can accommodate the pet vacuum cleaner and cleaning accessories while also ensuring sufficient dust capacity.

[0261] To maximize the dust holding capacity of the dust collector while maintaining a small size for easy storage, the ratio of the main body volume to the dust collection box volume is 0.0025-0.0145. Figure 11 as well as Figure 17C As shown, the main body volume refers to the value of W1*H1*L1, and the dust collection box volume refers to the total amount of dust and pet hair that the dust collection box can store.

[0262] In some implementations, such as Figure 11 as well as Figure 17CAs shown, the ratio of the area of ​​the lower surface 2011A to the length and height H1 of the main body is 0.45-0.85, and the area of ​​the lower surface refers to the value of W1*L1. If the height of the base is too low, the dust holding capacity of the base will be affected, and the space for storing cleaning accessories and pet vacuum cleaners will be compressed; if the height of the base is too high, the base will be unstable. This layout maintains a balance between the height of the base and the floor area of ​​the base, and the base can still be placed stably on a horizontal surface, whether alone or after storing cleaning accessories and pet vacuum cleaners.

[0263] In some implementations, such as Figure 11 As shown, the vertical height H1 of the base is within the range of 0.21m-0.4m. This arrangement ensures that the space in the height direction of the base is utilized for dust collection and storage, while the base can be placed stably on a horizontal surface.

[0264] In some implementations, the area of ​​the lower surface 2011A to the volume of the dust collection box 202 is 0.12㎡ / L-0.36㎡ / L. This layout maximizes the dust holding capacity of the unit while minimizing its footprint, making it easy for users to store in confined spaces.

[0265] To ensure that the cleaning system has a small footprint, a compact structure, and is easy for users to store, such as Figure 1A As shown in Figure 2, the base 20 at least partially houses the pet vacuum cleaner 10, and the main unit housing 101 extends longitudinally in the vertical direction. When the main unit housing is placed vertically on the base, the projected area of ​​the main unit housing on the lower surface is minimized, thereby saving space in the length and width directions for the cleaning system.

[0266] In some implementations, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the suction motor 1030 includes a motor shaft 1032, which is perpendicular to the support portion 2011 when the pet vacuum cleaner 10 is housed on the base 20. Specifically, the motor shaft 1032 is perpendicular to the lower surface 2011A of the support portion 2011. Optionally, the motor shaft 1032 is arranged parallel to the lower surface 2011A. Optionally, the motor shaft 1032 is set at an acute angle to the lower surface 2011A.

[0267] In some implementations, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the dust cup 102 has a central extending axis F, which is perpendicular to the support portion 2011 when the pet vacuum cleaner 10 is housed on the base 20. Specifically, the central extending axis F being perpendicular to the lower surface 2011A of the support portion 2011 ensures that the dust cup 102 is vertically mounted on the base 20, minimizing the projected area of ​​the dust cup 102 on the lower surface 2011A. This saves space in the length and width directions of the cleaning system, ensuring a compact structure.

[0268] In some implementations, such as Figure 23 As shown, the pet vacuum cleaner 10 and the dust collection box 202 are arranged opposite each other in the front-to-back direction. This arrangement allows the pet vacuum cleaner to be stored on one side of the base, and the dust collection box to be installed on the opposite side of the base, so that neither will interfere with the other when it is removed from or installed on the base.

[0269] Optionally, such as Figure 24 As shown, the projections of the pet vacuum cleaner 10 and the dustbin 202 on the front-to-back plane at least partially overlap. This arrangement saves space in the height and width of the cleaning system, resulting in a compact and small-sized system.

[0270] Optionally, such as Figure 25 as well as Figure 26 As shown, the projections of the pet vacuum cleaner 10 and the dustbin 202 on the vertical or horizontal planes do not overlap. This layout ensures that the pet vacuum cleaner and the dustbin do not interfere with each other on the base, and the user does not need to remove the pet vacuum cleaner when installing or removing the dustbin.

[0271] In some implementations, such as Figure 27 As shown, the battery pack 109 is removed from or installed from the pet vacuum cleaner in the vertical direction relative to the cleaning system 500.

[0272] In some implementations, such as Figure 26 As shown, the projections of the battery pack 109 and the main unit housing 101 or dustbin 202 onto a plane perpendicular to the vertical direction do not coincide. This arrangement ensures that the removal or installation of the battery pack will not interfere with the pet vacuum cleaner or the dustbin.

[0273] Specifically, such as Figure 1A ,like Figure 28 and Figure 29 As shown in the embodiment of this application, after the main unit housing 101 of the pet vacuum cleaner is unlocked from the base 20, it is detached and removed from the receiving part 206. Without unlocking the main unit housing 101, the battery pack 109 can be unlocked via an unlocking mechanism (not shown) on the main unit housing 101 and removed upwards. Optionally, a battery pack ejection mechanism (not shown) is provided inside the receiving part 206 or on the main unit housing 101. When the user unlocks the battery pack 109, the ejection mechanism ejects the battery pack 109 upwards a certain distance for easy access. The dust collection box 202 is unlocked from the base 20 and removed forwards. The layout of the battery pack, pet vacuum cleaner, and dust collection box ensures that their disassembly or installation on the main body will not interfere with each other.

[0274] Optionally, the main unit housing 101 of the pet vacuum cleaner 10 can be removed upward from the receiving part 206. At this time, the direction in which the battery pack 109 is removed upward is parallel to the removal direction of the main unit housing 101, and the projections of the two on the plane perpendicular to the vertical direction do not coincide.

[0275] In some implementations, such as Figure 24 As shown, the battery pack 109 and the pet vacuum cleaner 10 or dustbin 202 at least partially overlap in projection on a plane perpendicular to the front-to-back direction. This arrangement saves space in the height and width of the cleaning system, resulting in a compact cleaning system structure.

[0276] In some implementations, such as Figure 1C , Figure 20 and Figure 30 As shown, the pet vacuum cleaner 10 also includes a first terminal 2018A, disposed on the pet vacuum cleaner 10; the base 20 also includes a second terminal 2018B, disposed on the main body 201, for electrical connection with the first terminal 2018A; the pet accessory 80 includes a suction channel 801 (the suction channel is only shown on the pet shaving accessory 80A; other pet accessories all have suction channels, which are omitted in the attached drawings); the cleaning system 500 also includes a connecting pipe 70 for connecting the suction channel 801 and the vacuum cleaner 500. The suction port 203 and the third terminal 2018C are used for electrical connection with the second terminal 2018B. When the pet vacuum cleaner 10 is connected to the base 20, the first terminal 2018A and the second terminal 2018B are electrically connected. The cleaning system 500 is configured such that when the connecting tube 70 is connected to the pet accessory 80, the second terminal 2018B and the third terminal 2018C are electrically connected and the suction motor can drive air from the suction channel 801 through the connecting tube 70 and the suction port 203 into the dust collection box 202.

[0277] Specifically, such as Figure 1A and Figure 1C As shown, the pet vacuum cleaner 10 is located at the rear of the base body 201, while the dust collection box 202 and suction port 203 are located at the front of the base body 201 relative to the pet vacuum cleaner 10. The second terminal 2018B disposed on the base 20 includes a rear terminal 2018B-1 electrically connected to the pet vacuum cleaner 10 and a front terminal 2018B-2 electrically connected to the connecting pipe 70. Wherein, combined with... Figure 10 As shown, the rear terminal 2018B-1 is located below the interface 2010. More specifically, the fourth inner wall 2014D below the interface 2010 is recessed forward toward the dust collection box 202 to form a third receiving portion 206C. The third receiving portion 206C is recessed to a greater depth in the front-back direction than the second receiving portion 206B but less depth in the front-back direction than the first receiving portion 206A. The rear terminal 2018B-1 is located within the third receiving portion 206C. Figure 1CAs shown, the first terminal 2018A of the pet vacuum cleaner 10 is located on the air inlet pipe 107, below the air inlets 1041, 104', and 104"'. Figure 20 and Figure 30 As shown, in order to facilitate electrical connection and ensure communication, the front terminal 2018B-2, which is electrically connected to the connecting pipe 70, is provided on the suction port 203. Optionally, the front terminal 2018B-2 can also be located on the dust collection box or the main body.

[0278] When one end of the connecting pipe 70 is connected to the suction port 203, and the other end of the connecting pipe 70 is connected to the pet accessory 80 and the pet vacuum cleaner 10 is connected to the main body 201, the air inlets 1041, 104', and 104"' are connected to the suction channel 801 through the interface 2010, the air outlet 2020 on the dust collection box 202, the suction port 203, and the connecting pipe 70 in sequence. The first terminal 2018A is electrically connected through the rear terminal 2018B-1, the front terminal 2018B-2, and the third terminal 2018C in sequence. Pet hair generated during operation is collected in the dust collection box 202 through the suction channel 801, the connecting pipe 70, and the suction port 203.

[0279] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG2, when the pet vacuum cleaner 10 is mounted on the base 20, the upper end surface 2012 of the base 20 does not extend beyond the upper end surface 1010 of the pet vacuum cleaner 10.

[0280] In some implementations, such as Figure 3 As shown, the projections of the interface 2010 and the air inlets 1041, 104', and 104"' on the front-to-back plane at least partially overlap. This layout allows the interface and air inlets to be positioned opposite each other in the front-to-back direction, meaning that the airflow from the interface can flow directly to the air inlet, resulting in a short airflow path and avoiding noise and airflow loss. The overall layout of the cleaning system ensures that the disassembly or installation of components will not interfere with each other. When users remove the required components from the base, they can do so with a single click, without needing to go through complicated steps or disassemble other components.

[0281] Meanwhile, the main unit and dust cup of the pet vacuum cleaner are vertically fixed at the rear of the base. The battery pack extends longitudinally and is vertically positioned between the main unit and the dustbin. The dustbin is a tall, vertically oriented type, positioned at the front of the pet vacuum cleaner. Compared to the projected area on the plane perpendicular to the front-back direction and the projected area on the plane perpendicular to the left-right direction, the projected area of ​​the pet vacuum cleaner and dustbin on the support is minimal, resulting in a small footprint for the cleaning system. The cleaning system utilizes vertical space for its layout, ensuring a compact structure while maximizing dust capacity and storage, making it suitable for storage in narrow spaces. Despite its compact structure, the cleaning system's performance is also guaranteed, with the suction source's input power controlled between 200W and 250W.

[0282] In some embodiments, to improve the battery life of the pet vacuum cleaner, the base 20 of this application also includes a charging device (not shown) that works with and charges the pet vacuum cleaner. When the pet vacuum cleaner's battery level falls below the operating battery threshold, the pet vacuum cleaner will issue an alarm, such as a voice prompt, light prompt, beeping prompt, or image prompt on the display screen. The user can then return the pet vacuum cleaner 10 to the base 20, and the charging port on the pet vacuum cleaner will connect to the charging device, thereby charging the pet vacuum cleaner through the charging device.

[0283] like Figure 1A-1 , Figure 2A-1 and Figure 2B-1 As shown, this is another embodiment of the cleaning system 500A in this application. The difference between it and the cleaning system 500 is that the pet vacuum cleaner has the same base body, dust collection box and suction port arrangement. The same structure is represented by the same reference numerals and symbols, and will not be described again here.

[0284] Among them, the pet vacuum cleaner 10A has a more compact design and does not have a separate handle. Users can clean by holding the main body housing 101 or the dust cup 102 of the pet vacuum cleaner 10A.

[0285] The cleaning system 500A has a larger dustbin capacity than the 202A. Since pet hair takes up more space than dust, the larger dustbin capacity allows for better collection of pet hair. Figure 2B-1 As shown, the dust collection box 202A is an inverted U-shaped container when viewed from above. It is connected to the main unit 201A and surrounds the front and left and right sides of the main unit 201A.

[0286] like Figure 2A-1As shown, the suction port 203A is located on the lower part of the dust collection box 202A. Both the suction port 203A and the pet vacuum cleaner 10A extend beyond the front and rear ends of the support part 2011 in the front-back direction. In the front-back direction, the dust collection box 202A is located between the pet vacuum cleaner 10A and the suction port 203A.

[0287] like Figure 2B-1 As shown, the projections of the suction port 203A, the pet vacuum cleaner 10A, and the dust collection box 202A onto the support 2011 do not exceed the outline of the support 2011. This layout makes the cleaning system 500A compact and small in overall size.

[0288] To facilitate the application of the cleaning system to pet care, the pet care system 600 includes a combination of any one of the pet vacuum cleaners 10, 10', 10”, 10”', and 10A as described above and any one of the bases 20 and 20A. For the sake of simplicity, the pet care system 600 will be described below using the combination of the pet vacuum cleaner 10 and the base 20 as an example.

[0289] like Figure 1C , Figure 20 and Figure 30 As shown, the pet care system 600 also includes a pet accessory 80 for caring for the pet's body. The pet accessory 80 includes a suction channel 801; a connecting tube 70 for connecting the suction channel and the suction port 203; and a third terminal 2018C for electrical connection with the second terminal 2018B. The pet care system 600 has a first operating mode and a second operating mode: as shown... Figure 3 and Figure 30 As shown, in the first operating mode, the pet vacuum cleaner 10 is connected to the base 20, the first terminal 2018A and the second terminal 2018B are electrically connected, and the pet care system 600 is configured such that when the connecting tube 70 is connected to the pet accessory 80, the second terminal 2018B and the third terminal 2018C are electrically connected, and the suction motor 1030 can drive air from the suction channel 801 through the connecting tube 70 and the suction port 203 into the dust collection box 202; Figure 5A As shown, in the second working mode, the pet vacuum cleaner 10 is separated from the base 20, and the pet vacuum cleaner 10 is configured such that the suction motor 1030 drives air to enter the dust cup 102 through the air inlet 104.

[0290] With the increasing number of pet owners in today's society, the demand for pet care is also growing. In addition to daily cleaning, cleaning systems can be expanded in various applications by adding connecting hoses and pet attachments. In the first working mode, users can collect pet hair and other debris in the large dustbin using the connecting hose and pet attachments. In the second working mode, users can detach the pet vacuum cleaner from the base and connect cleaning attachments to clean residual pet hair on their bodies, sofas, and other surfaces.

[0291] In some implementations, such as Figure 30 As shown, at least one pet accessory 80 includes a fourth terminal 2018D. Both the pet shaving accessory 80A and the pet nail trimming accessory 80B in this application have a fourth terminal. The terminal of the pet nail trimming accessory 80B is omitted in the drawings. The fourth terminal 2018D is used for electrical connection with the third terminal 2018C. When the connecting tube 70 is connected to the pet accessory 80, the fourth terminal 2018D is electrically connected to the third terminal 2018C.

[0292] Furthermore, such as Figure 30 As shown, the pet accessory 80 also includes a drive unit 90 and a working head. When the pet vacuum cleaner 10 is connected to the base 20, the drive unit 90 can drive the working head to move and care for the pet's body. This configuration also allows the pet vacuum cleaner to drive the pet accessory with the drive unit, enabling the pet care system to be equipped with various types of pet accessories for different pet hair treatment scenarios, meeting different user needs.

[0293] Specifically, such as Figure 30 As shown, pet accessories 80 include a pet shaving accessory 80A, a pet nail trimmer accessory 80B, and a pet grooming accessory 80C. These various pet accessories cater to different pet care needs and meet users' daily requirements.

[0294] Among them, such as Figure 30 As shown, the pet shaving accessory 80A includes a drive device 90 and a cutting device 80A1. The drive device 90 drives the cutting device 80A1 to move and shave the pet hair. The shaved pet hair is collected in the base 20 through the connecting tube 70.

[0295] Among them, such as Figure 30 As shown, the pet nail grinding accessory 80B includes a drive device (not shown) and a grinding head device 80B1. The drive device drives the grinding head device 80B1 to grind the pet's paws. The ground pet impurities are collected in the base 20 through the connecting pipe 70.

[0296] More specifically, such as Figure 1C , Figure 3 and Figure 30As shown, the second terminal 2018B disposed on the base 20 includes a rear terminal 2018B-1 electrically connected to the pet vacuum cleaner 10 and a front terminal 2018B-2 electrically connected to the connecting tube 70. In the first working mode, the pet vacuum cleaner 10 is mechanically connected to the base 20, and the first terminal 2018A is electrically connected to the rear terminal 2018B-1. When the base 20 is mechanically connected to the pet shaving attachment 80A or the pet nail trimming attachment 80B via the connecting pipe 70, the front terminal 2018B-2 is electrically connected to the third terminal 2018C and the fourth terminal 2018D. At this time, the first terminal 2018A on the pet vacuum cleaner 10 is electrically connected sequentially through the rear terminal 2018B-1, the front terminal 2018B-2, the third terminal 2018C, and the fourth terminal 2018D. The battery pack on the pet vacuum cleaner 10 transmits power to the drive device, which can drive the cutting device 80A1 or the grinding head device 80B1 to work. Under the action of the suction motor 1030, air sequentially enters the second filter device 205 through the suction channel 801, the connecting pipe 70, and the suction port 203 for separation. The separated pet hair is collected in the dust collection box 202. Figure 5A As shown, in the second working mode, the pet vacuum cleaner 10 is detached from the base 20 and used independently. Under the action of the suction motor 1030, air enters the first filter device 105 for separation, and the separated pet hair is collected in the dust cup 102.

[0297] When the base 20 is mechanically connected to the pet hair grooming attachment 80C via the connecting pipe 70, the pet hair grooming attachment 80C does not have a drive device, but only a suction channel. At this time, the first terminal 2018A on the pet vacuum cleaner 10 is electrically connected sequentially through the rear terminal 2018B-1, the front terminal 2018B-2, and the third terminal 2018C. Under the action of the suction motor 1030, air sequentially passes through the suction channel, the connecting pipe 70, and the suction port 203 into the second filter device 205 for separation. The separated pet hair is collected in the dust collection box 202. The pet hair grooming attachment 80C allows for simultaneous grooming of pet hair and suction into the dust collection box, improving cleaning efficiency and providing convenience for users.

[0298] In some implementations, such as Figure 20 and Figure 30 As shown, in order to facilitate electrical connection and ensure communication, the front terminal 2018B-2, which is electrically connected to the connecting pipe 70, is provided on the suction port 203. Optionally, the front terminal 2018B-2 can also be located on the dust collection box or the main body.

[0299] In some implementations, such as Figure 30As shown, the connecting tube 70 contains a conductive wire 70A, and the third terminal 2018C comprises both ends of the conductive wire 70A. The front terminal 2018B-2 is electrically connected to the fourth terminal 2018D via the conductive wire 70A. With this arrangement, the drive unit can be electrically connected to the base or pet vacuum cleaner via the conductive wire, eliminating the need for a power supply in the pet accessory and reducing hand strain when the user is handling the accessory. Optionally, the conductive wire can be fixed to the outside of the connecting tube by a fastener, or it can be separately and independently installed from the connecting tube, or the connecting tube itself can be made of a conductive material.

[0300] Specifically, when one end of the connecting tube 70 is mechanically connected to the suction port 203, the third terminal 2018C at one end of the conductive wire 70A inside the connecting tube is electrically connected to the front terminal 2018B-2 on the suction port. Simultaneously, when the other end of the connecting tube 70 is connected to the suction channel, the third terminal 2018C at the other end of the conductive wire 70A is electrically connected to the fourth terminal on the pet accessory. Furthermore, when the pet vacuum cleaner 10 is connected to the main body 201, the air inlets 1041, 104', and 104"' are sequentially connected via docking... The air outlet 2010, the air outlet 2020 on the dust collection box 202, the suction port 203, the connecting pipe 70 are connected to the suction channel 801, and the first terminal 2018A is electrically connected to the drive device 90 through the rear terminal 2018B-1, the front terminal 2018B-2, the third terminal 2018C and the fourth terminal 2018D in sequence, driving the pet accessory 80 to work. The pet hair generated during work is collected in the dust collection box 202 through the suction channel 801, the connecting pipe 70 and the suction port 203.

[0301] In some implementations, such as Figure 31A , Figure 32A as well as Figure 33A As shown, the base 20 is provided with an interface 2010. When the pet care system 600 is in the first working mode, the switching mechanism 204 is in the first state, the interface 2010 is connected to the air inlet 104, and airflow is allowed to enter the air inlet from the interface 2010; as Figure 31B , Figure 32B as well as Figure 33B As shown, when the pet care system 600 is in the second working mode, the switching mechanism 204 is in the second state, the air inlet 104 is disconnected from the interface 2010, and airflow is prevented from entering the air inlet 104 from the interface 2010. This setting allows the switching mechanism to switch the airflow mode according to different working modes, which is more convenient and faster, and improves cleaning efficiency.

[0302] Specifically, taking the pet shaving accessory 80A as an example, the pet care system 600 includes a first air passage 301 and a second air passage 302.

[0303] like Figure 31A , Figure 32A as well as Figure 33A As shown, when the pet care system 600 is in the first working mode, the switching mechanism 204 is in the first state, the first air passage 301 is open and the second air passage 302 is closed. The airflow enters the second filter device 205 through the suction channel 801 and the connecting pipe 70 for separation. The separated pet hair is collected in the dust collection box 202. The separated airflow flows to the suction motor 1030 through the air inlet 104, forming the first air passage 301.

[0304] like Figure 31B , Figure 32B as well as Figure 33B As shown, when the pet care system 600 is in the second working mode, the switching mechanism 204 is in the second state, the first air passage 301 is closed and the second air passage 302 is open. The airflow enters the first filter device 105 through the air inlet 104 for separation. The separated pet hair is collected in the dust cup 102. The separated airflow flows to the suction motor 1030 to form the second air passage 302.

[0305] More specifically, such as Figure 31A , Figure 32A as well as Figure 33A As shown, when the pet care system 600 is in the first working mode, the suction port 203 is connected to the pet accessory 80 through the connecting pipe 70. The pet accessory 80 has a suction channel 801, which allows users to quickly clean pet hair or other impurities by sucking them into the dust collection box 202 when using the pet accessory 80 to care for their pets.

[0306] In some implementations, such as Figure 31A as well as Figure 31B As shown, the first filter device 105 divides the dust cup 102 into a first compartment 106A and a second compartment 106B; the air inlet 104 is connected to either the first compartment 106A or the second compartment 106B. When the pet care system 600 is in the first working mode, the switching mechanism 204 is in the first state, the first compartment 106A is connected to the interface 2010 and disconnected from the air inlet 104; when the pet care system is in the second working mode, the switching mechanism 204 is in the second state, the first compartment 106A is disconnected from the interface 2010 and connected to the air inlet 104. This allows pet hair in the second working mode to be collected in the second compartment, while in the first working mode, there is no pet hair accumulation in the first compartment, resulting in less resistance to airflow through the first compartment and improved cleaning efficiency.

[0307] Specifically, such as Figure 31AAs shown, when the pet care system 600 is in the first working mode, the switching mechanism 204 is in the first state, the first air passage 301 is open and the second air passage 302 is closed. The airflow in the first air passage 301 flows from the suction channel 801 through the connecting pipe 70, the suction port 203, the second filter device 205, the air inlet 104, the first compartment 106A to the suction motor 1030.

[0308] like Figure 31B As shown, when the pet care system 600 is in the second working mode, the switching mechanism 204 is in the second state, the first air passage 301 is closed and the second air passage 302 is open. The airflow in the second air passage 302 passes from the air inlet 104 through the second compartment 106B, the first filter device 105 and the first compartment 106A to the suction motor 1030.

[0309] In this embodiment, the switching mechanism 204 and the air inlet 104 are arranged in the same way as... Figure 6A , Figure 6B The implementation methods shown are the same and will not be described again here.

[0310] In some implementations, such as Figures 32A to 33B As shown, the air inlet 104 includes a first air inlet 1041 and a second air inlet 1042, with the first air inlet 1041 being independently configured from the second air inlet 1042. This independent configuration helps reduce the dust cup volume and ensures that the airflow paths do not interfere with each other.

[0311] Optionally, such as Figure 32A and Figure 32B As shown, the first air inlet 1041 and the second air inlet 1042 are disposed on the dust cup 102. The first filter device 105 divides the dust cup 102 into a first compartment 106A and a second compartment 106B. The first air inlet 1041 is connected to the first compartment 106A, and the second air inlet 1042 is connected to the second compartment 106B. When the pet care system 600 is in the first working mode, the switching mechanism 204 is in the first state, and the first compartment 106A is connected to the interface 2010 and disconnected from the second air inlet 1042. When the pet care system 600 is in the second working mode, the switching mechanism 204 is in the second state, and the first compartment 106A is disconnected from the interface 2010 and connected to the second air inlet 1042.

[0312] Specifically, such as Figure 32A As shown, when the pet care system 600 is in the first working mode, the switching mechanism 204 is in the first state, the first air passage 301 is open and the second air passage 302 is closed. The airflow in the first air passage 301 flows from the suction channel 801 through the connecting pipe 70, the suction port 203, the second filter device 205, the first air inlet 1041, the first compartment 106A to the suction motor 1030.

[0313] like Figure 32B As shown, when the pet care system 600 is in the second working mode, the switching mechanism 204 is in the second state, the first air passage 301 is closed and the second air passage 302 is open. The airflow in the second air passage 302 passes from the second air inlet 1042 through the second compartment 106B, the first filter device 105 and the first compartment 106A to the suction motor 1030.

[0314] In this embodiment, the switching mechanism 204 and the air inlet 104 are arranged in the same way as... Figure 4B The implementation methods shown are the same and will not be described again here.

[0315] Optionally, such as Figure 33A and Figure 33B As shown, the first air inlet 1041 is disposed on the main unit housing 101, and the second air inlet 1042 is disposed on the dust cup 102. The first air inlet 1041 is connected to the main unit housing 101, and the second air inlet 1042 is connected to the dust cup 102. When the pet care system 600 is in the first working mode, the switching mechanism 204 is in the first state, the main unit housing 101 is connected to the interface 2010 and disconnected from the second air inlet 1042. When the pet care system 600 is in the second working mode, the switching mechanism 204 is in the second state, the main unit housing 101 is disconnected from the interface 2010 and connected to the second air inlet 1042.

[0316] Specifically, such as Figure 33A As shown, when the pet care system 600 is in the first working mode, the switching mechanism 204 is in the first state, the first air passage 301 is open and the second air passage 302 is closed. The airflow in the first air passage 301 flows from the suction channel 801 through the connecting pipe 70, the suction port 203, the second filter device 205, the first air inlet 1041, the main unit housing 101 to the suction motor 1030.

[0317] like Figure 33B As shown, when the pet care system 600 is in the second working mode, the switching mechanism 204 is in the second state, the first air passage 301 is closed and the second air passage 302 is open, and the airflow in the second air passage 302 flows from the second air inlet 1042 through the dust cup 102 to the suction motor 1030.

[0318] In some implementations, such as Figure 30 As shown, the connecting pipe 70 is a retractable flexible hose, which is convenient for users to store.

[0319] In summary, different pet accessories in the pet care system can meet users' different pet care needs. The pet accessories also include a suction channel that allows for simultaneous care and suction, enabling quick cleaning. At the same time, the pet care system includes a first air path and a second air path. When users forget to clean pet hair or other impurities from the dust cup, i.e. when the suction resistance in the first air path is strong, suction can be carried out through the second air path, improving the cleaning efficiency of the pet care system.

[0320] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
