DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in combination with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all the other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work belong to the scope of protection of the present application.

[0031] Reference to "an embodiment" in this text means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment can be included in at least one embodiment of the present application. The appearance of the phrase in various places in the specification does not necessarily all refer to the same embodiment, nor is it necessarily mutually exclusive of other embodiments. It is explicitly and implicitly understood that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0032] The dust collection base station provided by the present application will be described in detail below in combination with the embodiments.

[0033] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 , Figure 1 is an exploded view of the first embodiment of the dust collection base station of the present application; Figure 2 is a partial view of the base station body in the first embodiment of the dust collection base station of the present application; Figure 3is a first angle view of a separation mechanism in a first embodiment of a dust collecting base station. The present application provides a dust collecting base station. The dust collecting base station 10 is used to connect a robot vacuum cleaner (not shown in the figure). The dust collecting base station 10 can at least provide the functions of dust collection, charging and cleaning. The dust collecting base station 10 can reduce the frequency of user maintenance of the robot vacuum cleaner.

[0034] The dust collecting base station 10 comprises a base station body 11 and a separation mechanism 12. The base station body 11 is provided with a receiving space 112. The base station body 11 is provided with a receiving opening 111. The receiving opening 111 is in communication with the receiving space 112. The receiving opening 111 provides an entrance for the separation mechanism 12 to be pushed in or pulled out. The receiving space 112 can accommodate the separation mechanism 12. The receiving space 112 is provided with a base station dust collecting inlet 113. The base station dust collecting inlet 113 is in communication with the dust box assembly (not shown in the figure) of the robot vacuum cleaner through the dust collecting channel (not shown in the figure) of the dust collecting base station 10, so that the dust in the dust box assembly flows through the dust collecting channel into the base station dust collecting inlet 113. The base station dust collecting inlet 113 is in communication with the receiving space 112. The receiving space 112 is provided with a base station fan inlet 114. The base station fan inlet 114 is used to install the base station fan (not shown in the figure). The base station fan can provide a certain suction force. The base station fan inlet 114 is in communication with the receiving space 112.

[0035] The separation mechanism 12 is arranged in the receiving space 112 through the receiving opening 111. For example, the separation mechanism 12 can be detachably connected to the receiving space 112. For example, the detachable connection can be clamping, plug-in and pulling, but is not limited thereto. When the separation mechanism 12 is detached from the receiving space 112, the separation mechanism 12 is separated from the base station body 11, and the user can directly pour out the dust in the separation mechanism 12.

[0036] The separating mechanism 12 comprises a separating assembly 121 and a dust storage part 122. The dust storage part 122 is connected to the outer periphery of the separating assembly 121. The dust storage part 122 is detachably or fixedly connected to the separating assembly 121. In this embodiment, the dust storage part 122 is integrally formed on the outer periphery of the separating assembly 121. The separating assembly 121, the dust storage part 122 and the accommodating space 112 together form a dust storage space 131 and an air outlet space 132. The separating assembly 121 is in communication with the base station dust inlet 113, the dust storage space 131 and the air outlet space 132 respectively. The separating assembly 121 is in communication with the base station dust inlet 113, i.e. the dust flow enters the separating assembly 121 along the base station dust inlet 113. The separating assembly 121 has a separating function and can separate the dust flow into particulate dust and clean air flow. The separating assembly 121 is in communication with the dust storage space 131. The separating assembly 121 throws the particulate dust in the dust flow into the dust storage space 131, so that the particulate dust is stored in the dust storage space 131. The separating assembly 121 is in communication with the air outlet space 132. After the separating assembly 121 throws the particulate dust into the dust storage space 131, the clean air flow enters the air outlet space 132. The air outlet space 132 is in communication with the base station fan inlet 114. The clean air flow in the air outlet space 132 enters the base station fan at the base station fan inlet 114 and is then discharged into the atmosphere.

[0037] When the cleaning robot finishes cleaning, the cleaning robot returns to the dust collection base station 10. The base station fan in the dust collection base station 10 is started. The dust flow of the dust box assembly of the cleaning robot enters the separating mechanism 12 in the dust collection base station 10 through the dust collection channel, and the dust flow is separated. The particulate dust in the dust flow is continuously stored in the dust storage space 131, and the clean air flow is discharged into the atmosphere through the air outlet space 132, the base station fan inlet 114 and the base station fan.

[0038] Therefore, by arranging the separating assembly 121 and the dust storage part 122 of the separating mechanism 12 in the accommodating space 112 with the accommodating opening 111, when the particulate dust stored in the dust storage space 131 reaches a certain amount, the user only needs to detach the separating mechanism 12 from the accommodating space 112 and pour out the particulate dust. After the particulate dust in the dust storage part 122 is poured out, the separating mechanism 12 can be installed in the accommodating space 112 through the accommodating opening 111. Through the above arrangement, the frequency of replacing the dust bag structure is reduced, the user experience is improved, the use cost is reduced, etc. Moreover, the dust bag structure is not needed, thereby reducing the resistance and maintaining the dust collection effect, etc. In addition, the positions of the base station dust inlet 113 and the base station fan do not need to be limited, thereby facilitating the layout of other structures in the dust collection base station 10, etc.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4is a second angle view of the separation mechanism in the first embodiment of the dust collection base station of the present application. The first embodiment of the dust collection base station of the present application is described in combination with Figures 1 to 3 In some embodiments, the accommodation space 112 includes a first sidewall 1121 and a second sidewall 1122 arranged oppositely. The first sidewall 1121 and the second sidewall 1122 are arranged oppositely. The base station dust collection inlet 113 is arranged on the second sidewall 1122. The separation assembly 121 is provided with an air inlet portion 124. The air inlet portion 124 is in communication with the base station dust collection inlet 113, so that the airflow such as dust enters the air inlet portion 124 from the base station dust collection inlet 113.

[0040] In some embodiments, the accommodation space 112 includes a third sidewall 1123. The third sidewall 1123 is arranged oppositely to the accommodation opening 111. For example, the third sidewall 1123 is arranged oppositely to the accommodation opening 111. The third sidewall 1123 is located between the first sidewall 1121 and the second sidewall 1122. The base station fan inlet 114 is arranged on the third sidewall 1123. For example, the base station fan inlet 114 can be arranged at at least one of the bottom, the left, the right and the top of the third sidewall 1123. By arranging the base station fan inlet 114 at any position of the third sidewall 1123, the base station fan can be arranged at any position of the third sidewall 1123, so that the layout of the remaining structures in the dust collection base station 10 is more flexible.

[0041] In some embodiments, the base station dust collection inlet 113 is arranged at the lower end of the second sidewall 1122. The bottom of the separation assembly 121 is provided with an air inlet portion 124. By arranging the base station dust collection inlet 113 at the lower end of the second sidewall 1122 of the accommodation space 112, the length of the dust collection channel of the dust collection base station 10 can be shortened, which not only reduces the resistance of the dust collection channel, thereby improving the dust collection efficiency of the dust collection base station 10, but also reduces the working power of the base station fan, etc.

[0042] In some embodiments, the accommodation space 112 includes a first sidewall 1121 and a second sidewall 1122 arranged oppositely. The dust storage portion 122 includes at least a first connecting portion 1221. The first connecting portion 1221 is arranged oppositely or substantially parallel to the first sidewall 1121. The separation assembly 121 is provided with an extension portion 123. The extension portion 123 is detachably or fixedly connected to the outer periphery of the separation assembly 121. For example, in this embodiment, the extension portion 123 is integrally formed on the outer periphery of the separation assembly 121. The extension portion 123 is arranged oppositely or substantially parallel to the second sidewall 1122.

[0043] By arranging the first connecting portion 1221 and the extension portion 123 as described above, the area of the dust storage space 131 can be increased, the amount of dust storage can be increased, the frequency of the user dumping the particulate dust can be reduced, and the user experience can be improved.

[0044] Specifically, the first connecting portion 1221 and the extending portion 123 are substantially flush with each other at the ends away from the accommodating opening 111, so that the first connecting portion 1221 and the extending portion 123 abut against the accommodating space 112 at the ends away from the accommodating opening 111, thereby improving the stability of the installation of the separation mechanism 12 in the accommodating space 112. The first side wall 1121 and the second side wall 1122 can be parallel to each other, and the first connecting portion 1221 and the extending portion 123 can be parallel to each other.

[0045] Continuing to refer to Figures 1 to 4 In some embodiments, the separation assembly 121 includes a first separation portion 1211 and a second separation portion 1212. The first separation portion 1211, the second separation portion 1212, and the accommodating space 112 surround to form an annular cavity 133. The inner wall of the first separation portion 1211, the outer wall of the second separation portion 1212, and the top of the accommodating space 112 surround to form the annular cavity 133. The annular cavity 133 provides a flow and movement space for the dust airflow. For example, the particulate dust in the dust airflow moves upward along the annular cavity 133 under the action of negative pressure. The second separation portion 1212 forms an air outlet cavity (not shown in the figure). The second separation portion 1212 is provided with a filter hole 12121. The annular cavity 133 communicates with the air outlet cavity through the filter hole 12121. The number and size of the filter hole 12121 are not limited. The filter hole 12121 can have a certain filtering effect. The filter hole 12121 can separate the dust airflow, for example, the filter hole 12121 can block the particulate dust into the annular cavity 133, and the particulate dust moves upward along the annular cavity 133; at the same time, the filter hole 12121 allows clean airflow to pass through and enter the air outlet cavity.

[0046] Therefore, through the cooperation of the first separation portion 1211, the second separation portion 1212, the annular cavity 133, the filter hole 12121, and the air outlet cavity, the dust airflow is separated into particulate dust and clean airflow, and the particulate dust is stored in the dust storage space 131, without frequent dumping, thereby improving the user experience; the structure is simple and easy to implement; and the space utilization is effectively improved.

[0047] The second separation portion 1212 is connected to the inner wall of the first separation portion 1211. The second separation portion 1212 and the inner wall of the first separation portion 1211 can be detachably connected or fixedly connected. In the present embodiment, the second separation portion 1212 is integrally connected to the inner wall of the first separation portion 1211.

[0048] In some embodiments, the ash storage section 122 shares a wall portion 1227 with the first separation section 1211. Specifically, the ash storage section 122 shares a wall with the side wall of the first separation section 1211; or, the first separation section 1211 and the ash storage section 122 share a wall with at least a portion of their side walls. The wall portion 1227 is provided with an ash-throwing section 12111. The ash-throwing section 12111 communicates with both the ash storage space 131 and the annular cavity 133. Particulate dust moves spirally along the annular cavity 133 and enters the annular cavity 133 from the ash-throwing section 12111. By providing the wall portion 1227, not only can particulate dust in the annular cavity 133 more easily enter the ash storage space 131, reducing the amount of particulate dust entering other spaces besides the annular cavity 133; it also increases the size of the ash storage space 131; and simultaneously reduces material costs.

[0049] In one specific embodiment, the ash storage section 122 includes a first connecting portion 1221, a second connecting portion 1222, a third connecting portion (not shown in the figure), and a bottom connecting portion 1224. The first connecting portion 1221 is arranged parallel to the first sidewall 1121. One end of the second connecting portion 1222 is connected to the end of the first connecting portion 1221 away from the receiving opening 111, and the other end is connected to the outer periphery of the first separating portion 1211. One end of the third connecting portion is connected to the end of the first connecting portion 1221 near the receiving opening 111, and the other end is connected to the outer periphery of the first separating portion 1211. The first connecting portion 1221, the second connecting portion 1222, the third connecting portion, the first separating portion 1211, and the bottom connecting portion 1224 are arranged to form the ash storage section 122. The ash storage section 122 includes an ash storage trough 1226 with an ash storage port 1225. When the separation mechanism 12 is pushed into the receiving space 112, the aforementioned ash storage space 131 is formed between the ash storage section 122 and the top side wall 1124 of the receiving space 112. The connection method described above can be, but is not limited to, detachable or fixed connection, etc., and is not limited here.

[0050] Please see Figure 5 , Figure 5 This is a third-angle schematic diagram of the separation mechanism in the first embodiment of the dust collection base station of this application. (Combined with...) Figures 1 to 4 In some embodiments, the separation mechanism 12 is pulled out of the receiving space 112 through the receiving port 111. Alternatively, the separation mechanism 12 can be pushed into the receiving space 112 through the receiving port 111, so that the separation mechanism 12 is installed within the receiving space 112. Or, the separation mechanism 12 can be pulled out of the receiving space 112 through the receiving port 111, separating the separation mechanism 12 from the base station body 11, allowing dust and other contaminants in the separation mechanism 12 to be directly emptied.

[0051] The dust collection base station 10 further comprises a cover plate 14. The cover plate 14 is detachably connected to the outer periphery of the base station body 11 and covers the accommodation opening 111. The cover plate 14 can be connected to the outer periphery of the base station body 11 by means of insertion, clamping or the like. The cover plate 14 can be independently provided from the separation mechanism 12; or the cover plate 14 can be at least partially connected to the separation mechanism 12.

[0052] When the cover plate 14 is independently provided from the separation mechanism 12, the cover plate 14 can play a shielding role, i.e. the cover plate 14 can shield the separation mechanism 12, etc., reduce the risk of the separation mechanism 12 coming out and improve the aesthetics of the dust collection base station 10, etc. When it is necessary to pour out the particulate dust in the separation mechanism 12, the cover plate 14 is first detached, the separation mechanism 12 is then pulled out from the accommodation space 112, and finally the particulate dust in the dust storage part 122 can be poured out.

[0053] When the cover plate 14 is at least partially connected to the separation mechanism 12, the cover plate 14 can be at least partially detachably or fixedly connected to the separation mechanism 12. For example, the cover plate 14 can be at least partially detachably or fixedly connected to the separation assembly 121 and / or the dust storage part 122. In the present embodiment, the cover plate 14 is at least partially integrally formed with the separation assembly 121 and the dust storage part 122. When it is necessary to pour out the particulate dust in the separation mechanism 12, the cover plate 14 is detached and pulled out, and the separation mechanism 12 moves with the cover plate 14. Thus, the cover plate 14 not only plays a shielding role, reduces the risk of the separation mechanism 12 coming out and improves the aesthetics of the dust collection base station 10, etc., but also improves the convenience of pulling out the separation mechanism 12, thereby improving the user experience.

[0054] In some embodiments, the cover plate 14 is at least partially connected to the dust storage part 122 at least partially in common wall. Specifically, the cover plate 14 is at least partially a sidewall of the dust storage part 122; or the dust storage part 122 is at least partially a sidewall of the cover plate 14. By connecting the cover plate 14 and the dust storage part 122 at least partially in common wall, the material cost can be reduced, etc. In the present embodiment, the dust storage part 122 does not comprise a third connecting part, and the cover plate 14 at least partially, the first connecting part 1221, the second connecting part 1222, the first separation part 1211 and the bottom connecting part 1224 together form the dust storage part 122, etc. The size of the cover plate 14 is greater than or equal to the size of the accommodation opening 111. In the present embodiment, the cover plate 14 is arc-shaped at both ends, and the size of the cover plate 14 is greater than the size of the accommodation opening 111.

[0055] In some embodiments, the cover plate 14 is provided with a handgrip 141 on the side away from the separation mechanism 12. The handgrip 141 is used for the user to insert his fingers, etc., so as to facilitate the user to pull out or push in the separation mechanism 12, etc. The handgrip 141 can be detachable or fixedly connected to the cover plate 14. The number of handgrips 141 can be one, two or more than three, etc. In some embodiments, the handgrip 141 can be recessed on the side of the cover plate 14 away from the separation mechanism 12; or the handgrip 141 can be protruded on the side of the cover plate 14 away from the separation mechanism 12. In the present embodiment, the handgrip 141 is integrally formed on the cover plate 14. Thus, through the handgrip 141, the disassembly convenience of the cover plate 14 is improved, and the pulling-out convenience of the separation mechanism 12 is improved, so as to improve the user experience.

[0056] Please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 , Figure 6 is a partial view of the base station body in the second embodiment of the dust collection base station of the present application; Figure 7 is Figure 6 the structural schematic view of A. In combination with Figures 1 to 5 In some embodiments, the base station body 11 is provided with at least one limiting assembly 115. The limiting assembly 115 is located on the top side wall 1124 and away from the accommodating opening 111. The limiting assembly 115 not only can limit the embedding depth of the separation mechanism 12 in the accommodating space 112, but also can limit the accuracy of the separation mechanism 12 pushed into the accommodating space 112, so as to reduce the risk of deviation of the separation mechanism 12 pushed into the accommodating space 112. The number of the limiting assembly 115 can be one, two or more than three, etc. In some embodiments, the limiting assembly 115 can include two limiting portions 1151. The two limiting portions 1151 are connected to the top side wall 1124. The limiting groove 1152 is provided between the two limiting portions 1151, and at least part of the separation mechanism 12 is inserted into the limiting groove 1152.

[0057] In the present embodiment, the top side wall 1124 is provided with two limiting assemblies 115.

[0058] Please refer to Figure 8 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 , Figure 8 is a structural schematic view of the separation mechanism and the separation cover in the third embodiment of the dust collection base station of the present application; Figure 9 is an exploded schematic view of the separation mechanism and the separation cover in the third embodiment of the dust collection base station of the present application;Figure 10 is a partial view of the separating mechanism and the separating cover in the third embodiment of the dust collecting base station. The separating mechanism and the separating cover are shown in the figure. Figures 1 to 7 In some embodiments, the dust collecting base station 10 further comprises a separating cover 15. The separating cover 15 covers the separating mechanism 12, for example, the separating cover 15 can at least partially cover the separating mechanism 12. The separating cover 15 can be detached from the separating mechanism 12, so that the separating cover 15 moves with the separating mechanism 12. The separating assembly 121, the dust storage part 122 and the separating cover 15 form the dust storage space 131 and the air outlet space 132. The separating cover 15 can be pulled out of the accommodating space 112 with the separating mechanism 12 through the accommodating opening 111. When the separating mechanism 12 is pulled out of the accommodating space 112, the separating cover 15 is also pulled out of the accommodating space 112 with the separating mechanism 12. When the separating mechanism 12 is pushed into the accommodating space 112, the separating cover 15 is also pushed into the accommodating space 112 with the separating mechanism 12. The separating cover 15 is in communication with the base station dust inlet 113 and the base station fan inlet 114, respectively. By covering the separating mechanism 12, the stability of the separating mechanism 12 assembled in the accommodating space 112 is improved, and the appearance is also improved.

[0059] Specifically, the separating cover 15 is provided with a separating air inlet 151 and a separating air outlet 152. The separating air inlet 151 is in communication with the base station dust inlet 113. The separating air outlet 152 is in communication with the base station fan inlet 114. The separating air outlet 152 can be, but is not limited to, an oval shape, a square shape, etc. In this embodiment, the separating air outlet 152 is circular. The separating air inlet 151 can correspond to the shape and position of the base station dust inlet 113.

[0060] In some embodiments, the second separating part 1212 can be, but is not limited to, a cylindrical shape or a circular truncated cone shape. The material of the second separating part 1212 can be, but is not limited to, plastic, nylon, metal, etc. For example, the second separating part 1212 can be a plastic cylinder, a nylon cylinder, a metal cylinder, etc. The plastic cylinder, the nylon cylinder, the metal cylinder, etc. are provided with corresponding filter holes 12121. Alternatively, the second separating part 1212 can be a plastic circular truncated cone, a nylon circular truncated cone, a metal circular truncated cone, etc. The plastic circular truncated cone, the nylon circular truncated cone, the metal circular truncated cone, etc. are provided with corresponding filter holes 12121.

[0061] In a specific application scenario, the dust collection base station 10 starts the dust collection work, the base station fan is started, and the dust and airflow in the dust box assembly of the sweeping robot enters the base station dust collection inlet 113 and the air inlet 124 into the separation assembly 121. The dust and airflow in the separation assembly 121 makes a spiral upward circumferential motion. The particulate dust enters the dust storage space 131 from the dust throwing part 12111. The clean airflow enters the filter hole 12121 of the second separation part 1212 and moves downward, enters the air outlet space 132, the base station fan inlet 114, and flows out into the base station fan, and then is discharged to the atmosphere. When the dust collection base station 10 detects that the dust storage space 131 is full of dust, the user pulls out the cover plate 14 together with the separation mechanism 12 through the buckle hand part 141 on the cover plate 14, and then pours out the dust in the dust storage space 131.
