[0053] The dust collector 1 is provided with a dust cup 10 for containing dust, and the base station 2 has a dust collection function and can be used to dock the dust cup 10 of the dust collector 1 to automatically suck the dust in the dust cup 10. Thus, automatic dust removal is achieved, and the user does not need to manually pour dust, and the product is more convenient to use.
[0054] Alternatively, a clamping structure can be used to connect the cup cover 12 and the cup body 11, as shown in Figure 9 It is understood that the cup lid 12 is provided with a buckle 125 and a tongue 126. The buckle 125 and the tongue 126 are located on the same side of the cup lid 12 and at both ends of the cup lid 12. The tongue 126 is inserted into the corresponding hole on the cup body 11, and the buckle 125 is engaged with the cup body 11, thereby making the cup lid 12 securely fixed to the cup body 11. Of course, the connection between the cup lid 12 and the cup body 11 is not limited to the snap-fit structure. In other embodiments, the cup lid 12 and the cup body 11 can also be connected by threaded connection, screw connection, rotation snap-fit, etc.
[0055] To facilitate dust discharge from the dust cup 10, a dust discharge port 121 is provided on the cup lid 12. The dust discharge port 121 can be configured, for example, as follows: Figure 6 The shape of the doorway shown in the figure is a combination of a semi-circle and a square. Of course, the shape of the dust exhaust port 121 is not limited to that disclosed in the figure. In other embodiments, the dust exhaust port 121 can be set to a circle, square, rectangular, elliptical, trapezoidal, etc., according to specific needs.
[0056] To control the opening and closing of the dust outlet 121, a flip cover 13 is provided on the cup lid 12. The flip cover 13 has a structure in which one end is rotatably connected to the cup lid 12 and the other end is a free end that can move. The flip cover 13 can open or cover the dust outlet 121 by rotating relative to the cup lid 12.
[0057] Specifically, the flip cover 13 includes a rotating part 131, a blocking part 132 extending from the rotating part 131, and a mating part 133 extending from the side of the rotating part 131 opposite to the blocking part 132. The rotating part 131 is rotatably connected to the cup lid 12, and the blocking part 132 is provided to cover or open the dust vent 121. In this way, the flip cover 13 has a lever-like structure. When the blocking part 132 or the mating part 133 is pressed, for example, when the blocking part 132 or the mating part 133 is pressed by the mating member 70, the flip cover 13 can rotate around the rotating part 131 relative to the cup lid 12, thereby driving the flip cover 13.
[0058] Preferably, to achieve efficient dust extraction after the flip cover 13 is opened, the flip cover 13 can be specifically configured to rotate outwards from the dust cup 10 to open the dust discharge port 121. Referring to the latch 125 and the tongue 126, the flip cover 13 is flipped relative to the cup lid 12 with the side facing away from the latch 125 and the tongue 126 open to open the dust discharge port 121. This facilitates the complete extraction of dust from the dust cup 10 after the dust discharge port 121 is opened, avoiding the problem of dust residue caused by the flip cover 13 being inside the dust cup 10 during the dust extraction process, leaving unsanitary corners inside the dust cup 10.
[0059] Optionally, the cup lid 12 is provided with a relief groove 122, which is provided when the dust outlet 121 is blocked by the shielding part 132 (e.g.Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown in FIG. 13, the engaging portion 133 corresponds to the avoiding groove 122. The avoiding groove 122 can provide space for the movement of the engaging portion 133, so that the engaging portion 133 can rotate fully to drive the cover 13 to rotate fully, thereby achieving a larger opening angle, so that the dust is more fully and cleanly discharged.
[0060] In detail, combined with Figure 2 and Figure 3 It can be understood that, based on the case that the cover 13 is rotated outward from the dust cup 10 to open the dust discharging port 121, the opening of the avoiding groove 122 is arranged on the side of the cover 12 facing away from the cup body 11, the engaging portion 133 is located on the side of the cover 12 facing away from the cup body 11 and corresponds to the opening of the avoiding groove 122, and the rotating portion 131 is the rotation fulcrum of the cover 13. When the engaging portion 133 is pressed to rotate into the avoiding groove 122, the shielding portion 132 is correspondingly rotated outward from the dust cup 10 to open the dust discharging port 121. This structure can achieve that the simple engaging member 70 drives the cover 13 to rotate to open the dust discharging port 121, thereby providing more possibilities for the implementation form of the engaging member 70 located on the base station.
[0061] In more detail, the side of the cup cover 12 opposite to the cup body 11 is provided with a stepped groove 123, the end of the stepped groove 123 away from the cup body 11 is provided with an opening, the end of the stepped groove 123 close to the cup body 11 is provided with a dust discharge port 121, the dust discharge port 121 is opposite to the opening of the stepped groove 123, so that the dust discharge port 121, the space in the stepped groove 123 and the opening of the stepped groove 123 together form a channel through the cup cover 12 for discharging dust in the cup body 11. The avoidance groove 122 is located on one side of the stepped groove 123 and communicates with the side of the stepped groove 123, the side of the end of the avoidance groove 122 close to the stepped groove 123 is provided with a fixing hole 1221, the rotating part 131 is provided with a through hole 1311, and a shaft body 1313 is arranged in the through hole 1311 and the fixing hole 1221, so that the flip cover 13 can rotate relative to the cover body around the shaft body 1313. Among them, the matching part 133 extends from the rotating part 131 to one side, and the shielding part 132 extends from the rotating part 131 to the other side, that is, the matching part 133 and the shielding part 132 are located on opposite sides of the rotating part 131, so that the matching part 133, the shielding part 132 and the rotating part 131 are substantially in the same plane. In the case that the flip cover 13 shields the dust discharge port 121, the rotating part 131 and the matching part 133 are located in the avoidance groove 122 and substantially cover the avoidance groove 122, and the shielding part 132 is located in the stepped groove 123 and substantially covers the stepped groove 123. In this way, when the flip cover 13 is turned to a position where the shielding part 132 shields the dust discharge port 121, the shielding part 132 is embedded in the stepped groove 123 along the opening of the stepped groove 123, and the edge of the shielding part 132 just rests on the stepped part 1231 in the stepped groove 123, so as to realize the limiting and positioning of the flip cover 13, and better guarantee the shielding property of the dust discharge port 121, so as to avoid dust leakage of the dust cup 10 in the non-dust collection state. And this structure can also be used to realize the shielding of the dust discharge port 121 by the flip cover 13 driven by the matching part 70, for example, when the shielding part 132 is pressed towards the cup body 11 by the matching part 70 to drive the flip cover 13 to rotate as a whole so that the shielding part 132 shields the dust discharge port 121, the shielding part 132 is supported by the stepped part 1231, which can prevent the shielding part 132 from being pressed into the dust cup 10.
[0062] Optionally, the recess formed by the stepped groove 123 and the avoidance groove 122 has substantially the same shape as the flip cover 13, so that the flip cover 13 is just fitted with the stepped groove 123 and the avoidance groove 122 in the case that the flip cover 13 shields the dust discharge port 121, which improves the appearance consistency of the product and is not easy to leave a dead angle in hygiene.
[0063] Optionally, as Figure 6As shown, the avoidance groove 122 can be arranged as a rectangle shown in the drawings, and the step groove 123 can also be arranged as a rectangle shown in the drawings, one long side of the avoidance groove 122 shares one short side of the step groove 123, and the length difference at the shared position of the two is transitioned by an arc side. Of course, the shape of the flip cover 13 is not limited to the drawings, and in other embodiments, the shape of the flip cover 13 can also be arranged as a rectangle, a circle, etc.
[0064] In combination Figure 2 and Figure 3 It can be understood that the shielding part 132 is configured with a groove wall, so that the shielding part 132 is generally in a non-planar shape with a concave-convex structure, which can improve the overall strength of the flip cover 13, reduce the damage probability of the flip cover 13, and improve the stability of the position of the shielding part 132 of the flip cover 13. The shielding part 132 is not easy to shake in a negative pressure environment, so that the wind pressure of the dust extraction process is more stable, and the dust extraction is more complete and clean.
[0065] Optionally, the groove wall is in a shape of being convex near one side of the cup body 11 and being concave away from the cup body 11, and the convex side of the groove wall faces the inside of the cup body 11, which can play a surface flow guiding effect during the dust extraction process and avoid dirt accumulation, so that the dust extraction is more complete and clean.
[0066] As Figure 2 shown, the end of the cooperation part 133 away from the shielding part 132 is provided with an inverted bevel 1332. The inverted bevel 1332 on the cooperation part 133 can have an avoidance effect, so that the flip cover 13 rotates relative to the cup cover 12, and the end of the cooperation part 133 is not easy to scratch the cup cover 12, thereby better ensuring the reliability and opening area of the flip cover 13, so that the dust extraction is more complete and clean.
[0067] More specifically, as Figure 2 shown, two inverted bevels 1332 are arranged at the end of the end of the cooperation part 133 away from the shielding part 132, so that the end of the end of the cooperation part 133 away from the shielding part 132 is generally in a trapezoidal or triangular shape, which not only ensures that the cooperation part 133 has a certain length to meet the force arm requirement, but also avoids the problem of scratching the cup cover 12 by the cooperation part 133.
[0068] Of course, the present application is not limited thereto, and in other embodiments, the end of the end of the cooperation part 133 away from the shielding part 132 can also be provided with a rounded corner 1331 or a combination of the rounded corner 1331 and the inverted bevel 1332 (as Figure 10 shown) to achieve the same or similar purposes.
[0069] Optionally, the cleaning device further comprises a first elastic member 40 abutting between the cover 13 and the cup cover 12, and the elastic force of the first elastic member 40 is used to drive the cover 13 to shield the dust outlet 121. In this way, when the engaging member 70 drives the cover 13, the cover 13 opens the dust outlet 121 against the elastic force of the first elastic member 40, and when the cover 13 is not driven by the engaging member 70, the cover 13 can be automatically reset to the position of shielding the dust outlet 121 under the driving of the elastic force of the first elastic member 40, realizing the constant closing of the dust outlet 121 and avoiding the problem of dust leakage.
[0070] In the accompanying drawings Figure 6 As an example, a fixed hole 1221 and a first wire groove 1222 passing through the fixed hole 1221 are arranged on the side wall of the avoidance groove 122 close to one end of the step groove 123, a through hole 1311 passing through the rotating part 131 is arranged, and a second wire groove 1312 is arranged at the axial end of the through hole 1311, and the second wire groove 1312 passes through the through hole 1311. A shaft body 1313 is arranged in the through hole 1311 and the fixed hole 1221, so as to realize the rotatable connection of the cover 13 and the cup cover 12. Among them, the first elastic member 40, for example, includes a torsion spring, the torsion spring is sleeved outside one end of the shaft body 1313 close to the fixed hole 1221, and the torsion spring has two extended force arms, one of which is embedded in the first wire groove 1222, and the other is embedded in the second wire groove 1312.
[0071] Please continue to see Figure 6 In order to realize the more stable and reliable automatic reset of the cover 13, the first elastic member 40 is arranged at both axial ends of the through hole 1311, so that the automatic reset of the cover 13 is more stable, the cover 13 is not easy to be inclined, and the cover 13 can more reliably automatically shield the dust outlet 121.
[0072] The base station 2 is described in detail as follows:
[0073] Taking the vertical docking of the dust collector 1 and the base station 2 as an example, specifically, one end of the base station 2 in the horizontal direction is provided with a docking structure for docking with the dust collector 1, and the dust collector 1 docks or leaves the base station in the up-down direction, so as to form the relative vertical docking of the dust collector 1 and the base station 2.
[0074] Among them, the docking structure of the base station 2 comprises an engaging member 70, which can drive the cover 13 to open the dust outlet 121 when the dust cup 10 is docked on the base station.
[0075] More specifically, the engaging member 70 comprises a first top rod 712, which is used to press the engaging part 133 when the dust cup 10 is docked on the base station, so as to drive the cover 13 to rotate, so that the cover 13 moves away from the dust outlet 121 by rotating the shielding part 132.
[0076] The first top rod 712 is also used to press the shielding part 132 when the dust cup 10 is away from the base station, so as to drive the flip cover 13 to rotate, and the flip cover 13 is rotated to make the shielding part 132 shield the dust discharging port 121.
[0077] For example, when the cleaner 1 is docked downward on the base station, the first top rod 712 slides along the surface of the cup cover 12 and / or the flip cover 13 until reaching the cooperation part 133, at this time, the cooperation part 133 is pressed by the first top rod 712 to rotate into the avoiding groove 122, and correspondingly, the shielding part 132 is rotated away from the dust discharging port 121, so that the dust discharging port 121 is opened. When the cleaner 1 is away from the base station upward, the first top rod 712 slides along the surface of the cup cover 12 and / or the flip cover 13, wherein when the first top rod 712 slides on the surface of the shielding part 132 from the end of the shielding part 132 close to the rotating part 131 to the end of the shielding part 132 away from the rotating part 131, the first top rod 712 presses the shielding part 132 in the direction of the cup body 11 to assist the shielding part 132 to shield the dust discharging port 121.
[0078] Optionally, in order to reduce the friction damage between the first top rod 712 and the flip cover 13 and / or the cup cover 12, the cooperation part 70 of the cleaning device further comprises a second elastic member 711, for example, a linear spring, one end of the second elastic member 711 is fixed, and the other end abuts against the first top rod 712.
[0079] Optionally, in order to reduce the friction damage between the first top rod 712 and the flip cover 13 and / or the cup cover 12, a roller 713 is arranged at the end of the first top rod 712 for pressing the flip cover 13, and when the first top rod 712 slides along the surface of the cup cover 12 and / or the flip cover 13, the movement of the first top rod 712 becomes the movement of the roller 713 along the surface of the cup cover 12 and / or the flip cover 13, which greatly reduces the damage to the surface of the cup cover 12 and / or the flip cover 13, and reduces the docking resistance of the dust cup 10 and the base station.
[0080] Of course, the present application is not limited thereto, and in other embodiments, in order to reduce the friction damage between the first top rod 712 and the flip cover 13 and / or the cup cover 12, the end of the first top rod 712 for pressing the flip cover 13 can also be an elastic body (such as rubber, plastic, silica gel, etc.), so as to achieve the same purpose.
[0081] More specifically, as shown in FIG. 6, the cooperation part 133 of the dust cup 10 is a protrusion, and the first top rod 712 is a linear spring. Figure 7As shown, the base station 2 comprises a front cover 61, an air duct 62 and a rear cover 63, the front cover 61 is butted against the rear cover 63 and the air duct 62 is accommodated in the front cover 61. The sidewall of the front cover 61 is provided with a butt joint 613, the air duct 62 is provided with a guide hole 621 and an air inlet 622 at the position corresponding to the butt joint 613, a first top rod 712 is located in the guide hole 621 and can move along the guide hole 621, one end of the first top rod 712 is connected with a roller 713 through a roller shaft 714, the other end of the first top rod 712 abuts against a second elastic member 711, and the end of the second elastic member 711 away from the first top rod 712 abuts against a cover plate 715, the cover plate 715 is connected with the air duct 62, so that the second elastic member 711 is correspondingly fixed.
[0082] In more detail, as shown in Figure 8 Figure 8 Fig. B, the state in which the base station is not butted against the dust cup 10, in which state, under the driving of the elasticity of the second elastic member 711, the end of the first top rod 712 provided with the roller 713 slightly protrudes out of the guide hole 621 and the butt joint 613, that is, the first top rod 712 slightly protrudes out of the sidewall of the front cover 61 of the base station.
[0083] When the dust cup 10 starts to move downward to gradually butt against the base station, the first top rod 712 and / or the roller 713 will be pressed by the rotating part 131 of the cover 13 or the shielding part 132 of the cover 13 or the cup cover 12, at this time, the first top rod 712 will retract into the guide hole 621, that is, the state of the base station shown in Fig. B is switched to the state shown in Fig. C. Figure 8
[0084] When the dust cup 10 continues to move downward until the dust cup 10 is butted against the base station in place, the first top rod 712 and / or the roller 713 will abut against the matching part 133 of the cover 13, at this time, due to the avoiding effect of the avoiding groove 122, the first top rod 712 will partially protrude out of the guide hole 621 under the driving of the elasticity of the second elastic member 711, that is, the state of the base station shown in Fig. C is switched to the state shown in Fig. D. Figure 8
[0085] When the dust cup 10 leaves the base station, for example, when the dust cup 10 moves upward relative to the base station, the base station then switches from the state shown in the attached figure numbered D to the state shown in the attached figure numbered C and then the state shown in the attached figure numbered B.
[0086] Preferably, in order to achieve greater driving force for the mating parts 70 and smooth driving of the flip cover 13, two of each of the first push rod 712, the second elastic element 711, the roller 713, and the roller shaft 714 are provided to form two sets of mating parts 70 to drive the same flip cover 13.
[0087] Better, such as Figure 9 As shown, one of the cover and the base station is provided with a guide groove 611, and the other is provided with a guide rib 124. The guide rib 124 extends into the guide groove 611 and can slide along the guide groove 611. The guide groove 611 and the guide rib 124 are used to guide the movement of the cup cover 12 relative to the base station, so as to ensure that when the cup cover 12 moves into place on the base station, the first push rod 712 is exactly abutting against the mating part 133 to control the dust discharge port 121 to open.
[0088] For example, two baffles are provided on the side wall of the front cover 61 opposite to the rear cover 63. The two baffles are located on both sides of the interface 613, and are respectively arranged at a distance from the side wall of the front cover 61 to define two guide grooves 611 on both sides of the interface 613 between the baffles and the side wall of the front cover 61. The two ends of the cup cover 12 extend out as guide ribs 124. When the cup cover 12 moves downward relative to the base station, the two guide ribs 124 extend into the two guide grooves 611, thereby guiding the downward movement of the dust cup 10.
[0089] The bottom of the base station's front cover 61 protrudes forward to form a hanging groove 614. When the dust cup 10 moves downward to sit on the hanging groove 614, the dust cup 10 and the base station are properly engaged. At the same time, the cooperation between the guide rib 124 and the guide groove 611, as well as the upward support of the hanging groove 614 on the dust cup 10, enables the vacuum cleaner 1 to be stably docked on the base station.
[0090] Optionally, the cleaning device also includes a first seal 20, which is disposed on the cup lid 12 or the flip cover 13, for sealing the dust outlet 121 when the flip cover 13 obstructs the dust outlet 121. Figure 2 As shown in the example, a first sealing element 20 is provided on the side of the shielding part 132 facing the cup body 11. The first sealing element 20 is a sealing ring, such as a rubber ring or a silicone ring. The first sealing element 20 can be fixed by a groove on the shielding part 132, such as... Figure 3As shown, when the shielding part 132 shields the dust discharging port 121, the first sealing part 20 on the shielding part 132 abuts between the shielding part 132 and the step part 1231 of the step groove 123, thereby sealing the dust discharging port 121. In this way, in the state of non-dust extraction, that is, without opening the dust discharging port 121, the airtightness of the dust discharging port 121 can be maintained to avoid dust leakage.
[0091] Optionally, the cleaning device further comprises a second sealing part 30, which is a sealing ring, specifically a rubber ring, a silica gel ring, etc. The second sealing part 30 is arranged between the cup cover 12 and the cup body 11. The second sealing part 30 can be fixed through a groove on the cup cover 12 or the cup body 11. When the cup cover 12 and the cup body 11 are buckled, the second sealing part 30 abuts between the cup cover 12 and the cup body 11 to seal the gap between the cup cover 12 and the cup body 11. In this way, dust leakage between the cup cover 12 and the cup body 11 can be avoided, and the problem of air leakage along the gap between the cup cover 12 and the cup body 11 during dust extraction can also be prevented, thereby better ensuring the dust extraction efficiency.
[0092] Optionally, the cleaning device further comprises a third sealing part 80, which is a sealing ring, specifically a rubber ring, a silica gel ring, etc. The third sealing part 80 is arranged on the dust cup 10 or the base station, such as Figure 7 As shown, the third sealing part 80 can be fixed through a mounting groove 612 on the cup cover 12 or the base station. When the dust cup 10 is docked with the base station, the third sealing part 80 abuts between the dust cup 10 and the base station, which can prevent dust leakage and avoid air leakage between the dust cup 10 and the base station during dust extraction, thereby affecting the dust extraction efficiency.
[0093] The cleaning device of the present embodiment is provided with a dust discharging port 121 and a flip cover 13 for shielding the dust discharging port 121 on the cup cover 12 of the dust cup 10 of the dust collector 1. During dust collection, the dust cup 10 of the dust collector 1 is docked with the base station through the cup cover 12, and a movable first jack 712 is added to the base station to open the flip cover 13. When the dust collector 1 is inserted into the base station, the first jack 712 on the base station will abut against the flip cover 13 of the dust cup 10 under the action of the spring (i.e., the second elastic member 711), thereby easily opening the flip cover 13. This can achieve a higher one-time opening success rate and make the device extract dust more cleanly.
[0094] The cleaning device of the embodiment has two guide grooves 611 added to the base station, which play a guiding and fixing role for the dust collector 1. Specifically, a guide rib 124 is arranged on the cup cover 12 of the dust cup 10 of the dust collector 1 and can be inserted into the guide groove 611, so that the dust collector 1 and the base station can be firmly connected together. The dust collector 1 enters the base station along the guide groove 611. In the process of descending, the dust collector 1 first interferes with the roller 713, which causes the first top rod 712 to compress the second elastic member 711. When the dust collector 1 moves to the bottom, the second top rod 721 extends under the action of the second elastic member 711 to abut against the flip cover 13 of the dust cup 10, so that the flip cover 13 of the dust cup 10 is easily opened, and dust is easily sucked into the base station 2. The product is also simple and convenient to use. A third sealing member 80 is added to the base station to ensure the sealing between the base station and the dust collector 1.
[0095] More specifically, in the second embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 10 , the cleaning device includes a dust collector 1 and a base station 2.
[0096] The differences from the first embodiment include:
[0097] In the second embodiment, the base station 2 and the dust collector 1 are arranged in a facing docking structure. When the dust cup 10 moves relative to the base station 2 to dock with or leave the base station 2, the matching part 133 of the dust cup 10 faces and approaches or faces and leaves the matching part 70 of the base station 2.
[0098] The dust collector 1 and the base station 2 are docked in the horizontal direction.
[0099] One end of the base station 2 in the horizontal direction is provided with a docking structure for docking with the dust collector 1. The dust collector 1 moves in the horizontal direction to dock with or leave the docking structure of the base station 2, so as to form the horizontal docking of the dust collector 1 and the base station 2.
[0100] The docking structure of the base station 2 includes the matching part 70, which can drive the flip cover 13 to open the dust discharge port 121 when the dust cup 10 docks with the base station 2. The docking structure of the base station 2 also includes the lock catch 90, which is clamped with the cup cover 12 when the dust cup 10 docks with the base station 2, so as to limit the dust collector 1 from leaving the base station 2 in the horizontal direction.
[0101] More specifically, as shown in Figure 11 , the base station 2 includes a front cover 61, an air duct 62 and a rear cover 63. The front cover 61 and the rear cover 63 are docked front and back and the air duct 62 is arranged therebetween. A docking interface 613 is arranged on the side wall of the front cover 61. A mounting groove 612 is arranged around the docking interface 613, and a third sealing member 80 is fixed in the mounting groove 612.
[0102] The front end of the air duct 62 is provided with an air intake corresponding to the interface 613 and three second push rods 721 fixedly installed on the inner wall of the air intake (e.g., Figure 12 As shown in the figure, the front ends of the three second push rods 721 protrude from the air intake and the interface 613. Of course, it is understood that the number of second push rods 721 is not limited to three as exemplified in the figure. In other embodiments, the number of second push rods 721 may be one, two, four or even more.
[0103] The bottom of the front cover 61 protrudes forward to form a hanging groove 614, which is used to accommodate at least a portion of the dust cup 10. The top of the air duct 62 is provided with a latch 90, which specifically includes a latch plate 91 and a reset member 92. The reset member 92 can be a spring. The latch plate 91 is rotatably connected to the top of the air duct 62, and the reset member 92 abuts against the latch plate 91 and the air duct 62.
[0104] like Figure 10 As shown, a locking tongue 127 is provided on the lid 12 of the dust cup 10.
[0105] like Figure 10 As shown in the attached figure numbered E, when the dust cup 10 is not connected to the base station 2, the flip cover 13 of the dust cup 10 cover 12 covers the dust outlet 121.
[0106] like Figure 10 As shown in the attached diagram (numbered F), when the dust cup 10 extends horizontally into the hanging slot 614 and continues to abut against the side wall of the front cover 61, the latch plate 91 of the latch 90 engages with the locking tongue 127 to lock the base station 2 and the vacuum cleaner 1. Simultaneously, the mating part 133 of the flip cover 13 on the dust cup 10's lid 12 corresponds to the second push rod 721 and is pressed into the clearance groove 122 by the second push rod 721, thereby opening the dust outlet 121 of the flip cover 13. Thus, by connecting the dust cup 10 to the base station 2, the flip cover 13 of the dust cup 10 can be easily opened, allowing dust to be easily sucked into the base station 2, making the product simple and convenient to use.
[0107] When the latch plate 91 of the latch 90 is pressed, the latch plate 91 releases the locking tongue 127, at which point the vacuum cleaner 1 can be removed from the base station 2. After the latch plate 91 is released, it resets under the drive of the reset member 92.
[0108] It can be understood that other features not described in detail in the second embodiment, such as the cup body 11 of the dust cup 10, the cup cover 12, and the flip cover 13 arranged on the cup cover 12, are substantially the same as those of the first embodiment described above, and therefore, the cup body 11, the cup cover 12, and the flip cover 13 arranged on the cup cover 12 of the second embodiment can be understood substantially with reference to the related description in the first embodiment described above, and will not be described again here.
[0109] While the application has been described with reference to several exemplary embodiments, it is to be understood that the use of certain specific terminology will not be taken to limit the application to such specific embodiments. Because the application can be implemented in a variety of forms without departing from its spirit or essential characteristics, it should be understood that the above described embodiments are not to be taken as limiting but are to be understood as illustrative only. Thus, all changes that come within the meaning and range of equivalency of the claims are to be embraced within their scope and there is no intention, therefore, to limit the application to the exclicit embodiments described herein.
