[0058] The embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings are illustrative and are intended to explain the present application, and are not to be understood as limiting the present application.

[0059] Reference is made below to Figures 1-7 A dust collector and a dust collection system according to embodiments of the present application are described.

[0060] As Figures 1-7 shown, a dust collector 10 according to embodiments of the present application includes a body 1, a dust bin 2, a bin lid 3, a locking mechanism 4, and a release button 5.

[0061] The dust bin 2 has a first side and a second side, the first side of the dust bin 2 being connected to the body 1. The bin lid 3 is connected to the second side of the dust bin 2 and is pivotable between an open position, in which the dust bin 2 is open, and a closed position, in which the dust bin 2 is closed. For example. Figure 3 is shown with the bin lid 3 in the closed position, Figure 6 is shown with the bin lid 3 in the open position. Here, it is to be understood that the first side and the second side refer to the connection of the dust bin 2 to the body 1 and the connection of the bin lid 3 to the dust bin 2 not being located on the same side, preferably, the first side and the second side being diametrically opposed with respect to the dust bin 2. Of course, the present application is not limited thereto, and the first side and the second side can also be offset by an angle, for example, the first side being one side in the left-right direction and the second side being one side in the front-rear direction.

[0062] The locking mechanism 4 is provided in the bin lid 3, the locking mechanism 4 having a locked state and a released state, in the locked state, the locking mechanism 4 engages the dust bin 2 to lock the bin lid 3 in the closed position, for example, Figure 3 and Figure 4 is shown with the locking mechanism 4 in the locked state. In the released state, the locking mechanism 4 disengages the dust bin 2 to allow the bin lid 3 to pivot, for example, Figure 6 is shown with the locking mechanism 4 in the released state.

[0063] The release button 5 is arranged at the second side of the dust bin 2, and the release button 5 can be actuated to drive the locking mechanism 4 engaged with the dust bin 2 to be disengaged from the dust bin 2, so that the bucket cover 3 can be pivoted from the closed position to the open position by gravity, for example. Here, it can be understood that the release button 5 is "actuable" in the sense that the release button 5 can be operated to actuate the locking mechanism 4 to switch from the locked state to the released state.

[0064] In use, the release button 5 is pressed, for example, to drive the locking mechanism 4 engaged with the dust bin 2 to be disengaged from the dust bin 2, in other words, the release button 5 drives the locking mechanism 4 to switch from the locked state to the released state, and the bucket cover 3 is pivoted from the closed position to the open position to open the dust bin 2, so that the dust in the dust bin 2 is discharged. At this time, the bucket cover 3 is connected to the second side of the dust bin 2 and spaced opposite the body 1, so that the bucket cover 3 does not collide with the body 1 when being opened, and the bucket cover 3 does not block the dust discharge path due to the body 1, so that the dust is more smoothly discharged from the dust bin 2. After the dust discharge process is completed, the bucket cover 3 is pivoted from the open position to the closed position, and the locking mechanism 4 is switched from the released state to the locked state to lock the bucket cover 3 in the closed position, so that the dust bin 2 is closed.

[0065] The dust cleaner of the utility model embodiment, the connection position of the bucket cover and the dust bin and the release button are arranged at the side of the dust bin away from the body, which facilitates opening and closing of the bucket cover, and the bucket cover is not prone to colliding with the body when being opened and closed, and does not affect dust discharge from the dust bin.

[0066] In some embodiments, the first side and the second side of the dust bin 2 are opposite each other in the radial direction of the dust bin 2.

[0067] As shown in Figs. Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 , the dust bin 2 is generally cylindrical with a dust discharge port at the bottom, and the part of the dust bin 2 connected to the body 1 can be flat. The right side of the dust bin 2 is the first side of the dust bin 2, and the right side of the dust bin 2 is connected to the top of the body 1. The bottom of the body 1 is provided with a cleaning member, such as a floor brush, for cleaning the surface to be cleaned. The body 1 is provided with a passage communicating with the dust bin 2 and the floor brush. The dust swept from the surface to be cleaned enters the dust bin 2 through the passage in the body 1 for storage. The top of the body 1 is also provided with a handle, which is arranged at the side of the body 1 away from the dust bin 2.

[0068] The left side of the dust bin 2 is the second side of the dust bin 2, and the release button 5 is arranged on the outer wall of the left side of the dust bin 2. The left side of the dust bin 2 is provided with an axle hole, and the bucket cover 3 is provided with an axle portion extending in the front-rear direction. The axle portion is arranged in the axle hole to enable the bucket cover 3 to be rotatable relative to the left side of the dust bin 2 in the front-rear direction between the open position and the closed position. In the open position, the bucket cover 3 opens the dust discharge port at the bottom of the dust bin 2, and in the closed position, the bucket cover 3 closes the dust discharge port at the bottom of the dust bin 2. Preferably, the bottom end of the dust bin is open to form the dust discharge port.

[0069] When the bucket cover 3 rotates from the closed position to the open position, the bucket cover 3 rotates in the direction away from the machine body 1, and when the bucket cover 3 rotates from the open position to the closed position, the bucket cover 3 rotates in the direction towards the machine body 1, the bucket cover 3 and the machine body 1 always relatively rotate in the left-right direction, so that the bucket cover 3 is not easy to collide with the machine body 1 in the process of rotation, meanwhile, the shaft part of the bucket cover 3 and the release button 5 are away from the machine body 1, which is convenient for disassembling and assembling the bucket cover 3 and the release button 5, and is also convenient for actuating operation of the release button 5.

[0070] It can be understood that the dust collector of the utility model embodiment can be a vertical dust collector, such as Figure 1 , but is not limited to this. For example, in other embodiments, the dust collector can be a portable dust collector.

[0071] In some embodiments, the locking mechanism 4 comprises a latch 41, the latch 41 is movable between an extended position relative to the bucket cover 3 and a retractable position relative to the bucket cover 3, when the locking mechanism 4 is in the locked state, the latch 41 is in the extended position to engage with the dust bucket 2, when the release button 5 is actuated, the latch 41 moves from the extended position to the retractable position and the locking mechanism 4 is converted from the locked state to the release state. It can be understood that, as Figure 5 shown, the latch 41 moves from the extended position to the retractable position and disengages from the dust bucket 2, that is, the locking mechanism 4 is converted from the locked state to the release state, after the bucket cover 3 leaves the closed position, that is, after the latch 41 avoids the engaging part of the dust bucket, the latch 41 can reset from the retractable position to the retractable position, at this time, the latch 41 does not engage with the dust bucket 2 and the locking mechanism 4 is in the release state. In other words, when the locking mechanism 4 is in the release state, the latch 41 can be in the extended position and engage with the dust bucket 2, at this time, the bucket cover 3 is in the closed position, the latch 41 can also be in the extended position and not engage with the dust bucket 2, at this time, the bucket cover 3 leaves the closed position and is in any position between the closed position and the open position or in the open position.

[0072] As Figures 4-7 shown, the locking mechanism 4 comprises a latch 41 arranged in the bucket cover 3, the latch 41 is movable between an extended position and a retractable position relative to the bucket cover 3, when the latch 41 is in the extended position, one end of the latch 41 extends from the side wall surface of the first side of the bucket cover 3, when the latch 41 is in the retractable position, the extended end of the latch 41 retracts into the bucket cover 3.

[0073] When the locking mechanism 4 is in the locked state, as Figure 4 shown, the latch 41 is in the extended position, the extended end of the latch 41 engages with the dust bucket 2 to lock the bucket cover 3 in the closed position, specifically, the right side bottom of the dust bucket 2 is provided with a clamping groove located on the inner circumferential surface of the dust bucket 2, the extended end of the latch 41 is clamped into the clamping groove to engage with the dust bucket 2, so as to lock the bucket cover 3 and the dust bucket 2.

[0074] When the release button 5 is actuated, the release button 5 drives the latch 41 to move from the extended position to the retracted position along the left-right direction, so that the locking mechanism 4 is switched from the locked state to the released state and disengaged from the dust bin 2, specifically, the end of the latch 41 extending into the slot is retracted into the lid 3, so as to be disengaged from the dust bin 2. At this time, the lid 3 can be pivoted from the closed position to the open position, and can be pivoted from the open position to the closed position after the dust outlet is opened.

[0075] When the lid 3 is in the open position, the latch 41 can be in the extended position or in the retracted position, preferably in the extended position and separated from the release button 5, as shown in Figure 7 Although the latch 41 is in the extended position, the end of the latch 41 extending out is not engaged with the dust bin 2 because the lid 3 is away from the closed position, and at this time the locking mechanism 4 is still in the released state. In other words, when the locking mechanism 4 is in the released state, the latch 41 can be in the extended position or in the retracted position.

[0076] By extending and retracting the latch 41 to engage and disengage the dust bin 2, the latch 41 can be arranged in the lid 3, so that the lid 3 and the locking mechanism 4 have a smaller structural volume, facilitating miniaturization. At the same time, the latch 41 engages with the dust bin 2 in a clamping manner, which has strong stability when locking the lid 3 and the dust bin 2, and facilitates opening and closing of the lid 3.

[0077] It can be understood that the locking mechanism is not limited to including a latch, and in other embodiments, the locking mechanism includes a clamping hook.

[0078] In some embodiments, the locking mechanism 4 includes a first elastic member 42, which is used to push the latch 41 from the retracted position to the extended position.

[0079] As shown in Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 , the first elastic member 42 is preferably a spring. The first elastic member 42 extends along the extending and retracting direction of the latch 41, and is connected between the lid 3 and the latch 41, for pressing the latch 41 from the retracted position to the extended position.

[0080] Specifically, when the lid 3 is away from the closed position, the first elastic member 42 drives the latch 41 to move from the retracted position to the extended position. When the lid 3 is in the closed position and the release button 5 is not actuated, the first elastic member 42 drives the latch 41 to move from the retracted position to the extended position. When the release button 5 is actuated, the latch 41 is driven to move from the extended position to the retracted position against the elastic force of the first elastic member 42.

[0081] The first elastic member 42 drives the latch 41 to move from the retracted position to the extended position and to be clamped into the clamping groove to engage the dust bin 2, so that the locking mechanism 4 can be automatically engaged with the dust bin 2, facilitating the use of the cleaner 10.

[0082] In some embodiments, the end of the latch 41 engaged with the dust bin 2 is provided with an inclined surface 414, which facilitates abutting the dust bin 2 to drive the latch 41 to move to the retracted position during the rotation of the lid 3 from the open position to the closed position.

[0083] Since the latch 41 is in the extended position when the lid 3 is in the open position, the latch 41 is moved from the extended position to the retracted position during the rotation of the lid 3 from the open position to the closed position, so as to avoid the interference between the latch 41 and the dust bin 2, causing the lid 3 to be unable to move to the closed position.

[0084] As shown in Figures 3-6 , the end of the latch 41 extending from the lid 3 when the latch 41 is in the extended position is provided with an inclined surface 414, which is inclined downward to the right from the top surface of the telescopic end 413 when the lid 3 is in the closed position. During the rotation of the lid 3 from the open position to the closed position, the inclined surface 414 first abuts the bottom of the dust bin 2, and then drives the latch 41 to move from the extended position to the retracted position under the pressure of the dust bin 2, so that the lid 3 reaches the closed position, and then the latch 41 is driven by the first elastic member 42 to move to the extended position and extend into the clamping groove, thereby engaging with the dust bin 2.

[0085] In some embodiments, the latch 41 includes an engaging latch 41A for engaging and disengaging with the dust bin 2 and an operating latch 41B for being operated by the release button 5. The engaging latch 41A has a first rack end 412A provided with a rack and a first telescopic end 413A for engaging with the dust bin 2, and the first telescopic end 413A is extendable and retractable relative to the lid 3. The operating latch 41B has a second rack end 412B provided with a rack and a second telescopic end 413B for being operated by the release button 5, and the second telescopic end 413B is extendable and retractable relative to the lid 3. The locking mechanism 4 further includes a gear 43 rotatably mounted in the lid 3, the gear 43 being engaged between the first rack end 412A of the engaging latch 41A and the second rack end 412B of the operating latch 41B, wherein the second telescopic end 413B of the operating latch 41B is arranged opposite to the release button 5, and the first telescopic end 413A of the engaging latch 41A is used for engaging and disengaging with the dust bin 2.

[0086] As shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the latch 41 includes an engaging latch 41A and an operating latch 41B arranged in the left-right direction.

[0087] The left end of the engagement latch 41A is a first rack end 412A provided with a rack extending in the left-right direction, and the right end of the engagement latch 41A is a first telescopic end 413A which can be extended and retracted from the right end of the lid 3 and is used to engage and disengage with the dust bin 2, and the first telescopic end 413A is provided with an inclined surface 414.

[0088] The right end of the operation latch 41B is a second rack end 412B provided with a rack extending in the left-right direction, and the left end of the operation latch 41B is a second telescopic end 413B which can be extended and retracted from the left end of the lid 3 and is arranged opposite to the release button 5 in the left-right direction.

[0089] The first rack end 412A and the second rack end 412B are arranged in parallel and are spaced apart in the front-rear direction.

[0090] The locking mechanism 4 further comprises a gear 43 which is rotatably arranged in the vertical direction in the lid 3 and is engaged between the first rack end 412A and the second rack end 412B, so that the engagement latch 41A and the operation latch 41B can move relatively close and relatively far apart, so that the first telescopic end 413A and the second telescopic end 413B are synchronously extended and retracted from the lid 3.

[0091] In the closed position and when the release button 5 is not actuated, the engagement latch 41A and the operation latch 41B are both in the extended position under the drive of the first elastic member 42, and the first telescopic end 413A is inserted into the clamping groove, so that the locking mechanism 4 is in the locked state, as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5 .

[0092] When the release button 5 is actuated, the release button 5 moves right relative to the dust bin 2 and abuts against the extended second telescopic end 413B and pushes the operation latch 41B to move right, and the engagement latch 41A is synchronously moved left under the transmission of the gear 43, so that the engagement latch 41A and the operation latch 41B are synchronously moved to the retracted position, the first telescopic end 413A exits the clamping groove, and the locking mechanism 4 is switched to the released state, at this time the lid 3 can be pivoted to the open position.

[0093] In the open position, as shown in Figure 7 , the engagement latch 41A and the operation latch 41B are pivoted with the lid 3 to be oriented in the up-down direction, at this time the moving direction of the release button 5 is the left-right direction, the moving direction of the operation latch 41B is the up-down direction, the second telescopic end 413B is disengaged from the release button 5, but the second telescopic end 413B is still opposite to the release button 5. The engagement latch 41A and the operation latch 41B are moved from the retracted position to the extended position under the drive of the first elastic member 42.

[0094] In the process of rotating the lid 3 from the open position to the closed position, the inclined surface 414 first abuts against the bottom of the dust bucket 2, and then moves the engaging latch 41A from the extended position to the retracted position under the pressure of the dust bucket 2, so that the lid 3 reaches the closed position. In the process of moving the engaging latch 41A to the retracted position, the operating latch 41B is also moved to the retracted position synchronously under the drive of the gear. After the lid 3 reaches the closed position, the engaging latch 41A and the operating latch 41B are moved to the extended position under the drive of the first elastic member 42, and the first telescopic end 413A extends into the clamping groove and engages with the dust bucket 2.

[0095] The release button 5 drives the engaging latch 41A to move through the operating latch 41B and the gear 43, so that the first telescopic end 413A of the engaging latch 41A engages with and disengages from the dust bucket 2. In the closed position, the left end shaft part of the lid 3 is connected to the left side of the dust bucket 2, and the right end of the lid 3 engages with the right side of the dust bucket 2 through the first telescopic end 413A, so that the left and right ends of the lid 3 are both connected to the dust bucket 2, thereby ensuring the stability of the lid 3 in the closed position.

[0096] In the engaging process, the engaging latch 41A and the operating latch 41B move away from each other, and in the disengaging process, the engaging latch 41A and the operating latch 41B move close to each other. Therefore, the relative movement directions of the engaging latch 41A and the operating latch 41B in the engaging process and the disengaging process are opposite, and reversing is required in the engaging process and the disengaging process, thereby ensuring the stability of the locking mechanism 4 in the locked state.

[0097] In some embodiments, the latch 41 has a mounting cavity 411, the lid 3 has a protruding part 310 extending into the mounting cavity 411, and the first elastic member 42 is located in the mounting cavity 411 and connected between the protruding part 310 and the cavity wall surface of the mounting cavity 411.

The first mounting cavity 411A and the second mounting cavity 411B are both provided with the first elastic member 42.

[0099] The bucket cover 3 is internally provided with two protruding parts 310 arranged in the left-right direction, the left protruding part 310 is arranged in the first mounting cavity 411A and can move along the first mounting cavity 411A, and the left protruding part 310 is connected with the first elastic member 42 in the first mounting cavity 411A, and the right protruding part 310 is arranged in the second mounting cavity 411B and can move along the second mounting cavity 411B, and the right protruding part 310 is connected with the first elastic member 42 in the second mounting cavity 411B.

[0100] The mounting cavity 411 accommodates the first elastic member 42 and limits the first elastic member 42, the protruding part 310 facilitates the connection of the lock 41 and the bucket cover 3 through the first elastic member 42, the engaging lock 41A and the operation lock 41B are both provided with the first elastic member 42, and when one of the first elastic members 42 is damaged, the other first elastic member 42 can still drive the lock 41 to move to the extended position.

[0101] In some embodiments, the dust collector 10 of the utility model also comprises a second elastic member 6, the second elastic member 6 is arranged in the operation hole 210 and connected between the release button 5 and the dust bucket 2, so as to drive the release button 5 to reset.

[0102] As shown in Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 , the second elastic member 6 is preferably a spring, the second elastic member 6 extends in the left-right direction and is arranged in the operation hole 210, the second elastic member 6 is connected between the release button 5 and the hole bottom surface at the right end of the operation hole 210, and is used for driving the actuated release button 5 to move leftwards to reset.

[0103] The second elastic member 6 drives the release button 5 to reset automatically, so that the release button 5 can be actuated again, and meanwhile, in the process that the bucket cover 3 moves from the open position to the closed position, the second telescopic end 413B can avoid interfering with the actuated release button 5.

[0104] Further, the second telescopic end 413B is provided with a groove, as shown in Figure 7 , in the open position, the groove is arranged towards the second elastic member 6, so as to avoid the second elastic member 6 from interfering with the second telescopic end 413B.

[0105] In some embodiments, the second side of the dust bucket 2 is provided with the operation hole 210, and the release button 5 is arranged in the operation hole 210.

[0106] As shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the right side of the dust bucket 2 is provided with the operation hole 210, and the release button 5 is arranged in the operation hole 210 and can move in the left-right direction along the operation hole 210.

[0107] The operation hole 210 makes the release button 5 not exposed, prevents the release button 5 from being actuated by accidental collision, and makes the dust barrel 2 neat in appearance.

[0108] The dust collection system of the utility model embodiment is described below.

[0109] As Figures 1-7 shown, the dust collection system of the utility model embodiment comprises a dust collector and a dust collection post 20.

[0110] The dust collector can be the dust collector 10 of the utility model above.

[0111] The dust collector 10 and the dust collection post 20 are connectable and separable, that is, the dust collector 10 can be connected to and separated from the dust collection post 20, as Figure 1 shown, to collect dust discharged from the dust barrel 2 when connected and the barrel cover 3 is in the open position.

[0112] When the dust barrel 2 of the dust collector 10 needs to discharge dust, the dust collector 10 is connected to the dust collection post 20, and the dust discharge port of the dust barrel 2 and the barrel cover 3 are opposite to the connecting port 21 of the dust collection post 20, the barrel cover 3 is opened to discharge dust through the driving of the release button 5, the dust in the dust barrel 2 is discharged through the dust discharge port and collected in the dust collection post 20, and after the dust discharge is completed, the barrel cover 3 is pushed to rotate from the open position to the closed position to close the dust discharge port. Therefore, during the dust discharge of the dust collector 10, only the release button 5 needs to be driven to open the barrel cover 3, so that the dust discharge is collected in the dust collection post 20, and the use is convenient.

[0113] The dust collection system of the utility model embodiment, when the dust collector and the dust collection post are connected, the barrel cover is opened through the driving of the release button, which facilitates the opening of the barrel cover and avoids the dust discharge of the dust barrel from falling outside the dust collection post.

[0114] In some embodiments, the dust collector 10 further comprises a floor brush 7, a dust cup 8 and a dust collection motor 9, the machine body 1 comprises a dust collection pipeline 11 and a handle 12, one end of the dust collection pipeline 11 is pivotally connected to the floor brush 7, the other end of the dust collection pipeline 11 is connected to the dust barrel 2, the dust cup 8 and the dust collection motor 9 are arranged in the dust barrel 2, the dust collection motor 9, the dust cup 8, the dust collection pipeline 11 and the floor brush 7 are sequentially communicated, the dust collection motor 9 is used for generating suction force for sucking air along the floor brush 7, the dust collection pipeline 11 and the dust cup 8, and the dust cup 8 is used for storing dust carried by the sucked air.

[0115] As Figure 2 shown, the machine body 1 comprises a dust collection pipeline 11 and a handle 12, the lower end of the dust collection pipeline 11 is pivotally connected to the floor brush 7, the upper end of the dust collection pipeline 11 is connected to the first side (for example, the right side of the dust barrel 2 as Figure 2 shown) of the dust barrel 2, the first side of the dust barrel 2 is further connected to the handle 12, the dust cup 8 and the dust collection motor 9 are arranged in the dust barrel 2, the dust collection motor 9, the dust cup 8, the dust collection pipeline 11 and the floor brush 7 are sequentially communicated.

[0116] When the dust collector 10 is in operation, the user holds the handle 12 to move the dust collector 10, so that the floor brush 7 is abutted against and moved along the ground to be cleaned. Since the floor brush 7 is pivotally connected with the suction duct 11, the floor brush 7 can be pivoted relative to the suction duct 11 to maintain abutment against the ground. The suction motor 9 is controlled to generate suction force, which is transmitted along the dust cup 8 and the suction duct 11 to the floor brush 7, so that the floor brush 7 can suck in air to suck in dust on the ground along with the air into the floor brush 7. The sucked-in air flows along the floor brush 7, the suction duct 11 and the dust cup 8 in sequence, so that the dust carried by the air is transmitted to the dust cup 8 for storage.

[0117] Further, the dust cup 8 and the suction motor 9 are further provided with a separator, which is preferably but not limited to used for generating a cyclone to separate the air and the carried dust, so that the separated dust is collected and stored in the dust cup 8.

[0118] The dust collecting post 20 comprises a docking port 21, a dust collecting channel 22, a dust collecting container 23 and a dust collecting motor 24 which are sequentially communicated. The docking port 21 is detachably dockable with the end of the dust bucket 2 provided with the bucket cover 3. The dust collecting motor 24 is used to generate suction force to suck in air along the docking port 21, the dust collecting channel 22 and the dust collecting container 23, so that the dust stored in the dust cup 8 is sucked into the dust collecting container 23 for storage when the docking port 21 is docked with the dust bucket 2 and the bucket cover 3 is in the open position.

[0119] As shown in Figure 2 , the dust collecting post 20 extends in the vertical direction. The dust collecting post 20 is provided with the docking port 21, the dust collecting channel 22, the dust collecting container 23 and the dust collecting motor 24 which are sequentially communicated. The docking port 21 is preferably but not limited to provided at the top of the dust collecting post 20. The docking port 21 is used to be detachably dockable with the end of the dust bucket 2 provided with the bucket cover 3 (such as the lower end of the dust bucket 2 as shown in Figure 2 ), i.e. the end of the dust bucket 2 provided with the bucket cover 3 can be engaged with and disengaged from the docking port 21, so that the dust discharging port and the docking port 21 are communicated when the dust bucket 2 is engaged with the docking port 21 and the bucket cover 3 is open. The dust collecting channel 22, the dust collecting container 23 and the dust collecting motor 24 are preferably but not limited to sequentially arranged and communicated in the up-down direction. The upper end of the dust collecting channel 22 is connected with the docking port 21. In the example as shown in Figure 2 , the upper end of the dust collecting channel 22 is arranged side by side with the lower end of the docking port 21 in the left-right direction and is communicated with the lower end of the docking port 21. The docking port 21 has a certain distance in the up-down direction to accommodate the bucket cover 3 in the open position. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the docking port 21 and the dust collecting channel 22 can also be sequentially arranged and communicated in the up-down direction, in other words, the dust collecting channel 22 can also be connected directly below the docking port 21. In this case, the bucket cover 3 in the open position can be located in the docking port 21 or can be located in the docking port 21 and the dust collecting channel 22 at the same time. The dust collecting container 23 is preferably but not limited to a dust bag.

[0120] When the dust tank 2 of the vacuum cleaner 10 needs to be emptied, the user holds the handle 12 to move the vacuum cleaner 10, so that the lower end of the dust tank 2 is connected to the docking port 21, and then drives the release button 5 to open the dust outlet of the tank cover 3 and communicate with the docking port 21. The dust collecting motor 24 is controlled to generate suction, and the suction is transmitted along the dust collecting container 23 and the dust collecting channel 22 to the docking port 21, so that the docking port 21 can suck in air to suck the dust stored in the dust cup 8 into the air, and then flow along the docking port 21, the dust collecting channel 22 and the dust collecting container 23 in sequence, so as to collect and store the dust in the dust collecting container 23.

[0121] Therefore, when the dust tank 2 and the docking port 21 are connected and the tank cover 3 is opened, the dust of the vacuum cleaner 10 can be automatically collected into the dust collecting container 23 through the dust collecting post 20, which is convenient for use and can avoid the dust of the dust tank 2 falling outside the dust collecting post 20.

[0126] In some embodiments, when the docking port 21 is connected to the dust tank 2, the center line of the dust tank 2 and the center line of the dust collecting channel 11 are both parallel to the center line of the dust collecting post 20.

[0127] As shown in Figure 2As shown, the docking interface 21 is provided at the top of the dust collecting post 20. When the docking interface 21 is docked with the dust bucket 2, in other words, when the dust collector 10 is combined with the dust collecting post 20, the dust bucket 2 is connected above the dust collecting post 20, the dust collecting pipe 11 is arranged side by side with the dust collecting post 20 along the left-right direction, and the center line (as shown by the dashed line M in FIG. 6) of the dust bucket 2, the center line (as shown by the dashed line L in FIG. 6) of the dust collecting pipe 11, and the center line (as shown by the dashed line Q in FIG. 6) of the dust collecting post 20 are all parallel and preferably but not limited to extend along the vertical direction.

[0130] Figure 2 As shown, the center line of the dust collecting channel 22 and the center line of the dust collecting container 23 are both the dashed line Q shown in FIG. 6, and the center line of the dust collecting motor 24 is the dashed line N shown in FIG. 6. The center line of the dust collecting channel 22, the center line of the dust collecting container 23, and the center line of the dust collecting motor 24 are all parallel and extend along the vertical direction, preferably but not limited to, so as to facilitate the suction force generated by the dust collecting motor 24 to be transmitted along the dust collecting container 23 and the dust collecting channel 22 to the docking interface 21.

[0131] As shown, the center line of the dust collecting channel 22 and the center line of the dust collecting container 23 are both the dashed line Q shown in FIG. 6, and the center line of the dust collecting motor 24 is the dashed line N shown in FIG. 6. The center line of the dust collecting channel 22, the center line of the dust collecting container 23, and the center line of the dust collecting motor 24 are all parallel and extend along the vertical direction, preferably but not limited to, so as to facilitate the suction force generated by the dust collecting motor 24 to be transmitted along the dust collecting container 23 and the dust collecting channel 22 to the docking interface 21.

The center line of the dust collecting channel 22, the center line of the dust collecting container 23, and the center line of the dust collecting motor 24 are all parallel and extend along the vertical direction, preferably but not limited to, so as to facilitate the suction force generated by the dust collecting motor 24 to be transmitted along the dust collecting container 23 and the dust collecting channel 22 to the docking interface 21. Figure 2 Figure 2 ​​​​​The dotted lines L shown are all set at an angle to the center line of the handle 12. In other words, the center line of the dustbin 2 and the center line of the suction pipe 11 both intersect the center line of the handle 12. This is to make the vacuum cleaner 10 occupy less space and to make it easier for the operator to hold the handle 12 so that the floor brush 7 is against the bottom surface.

[0133] In some embodiments, when the interface 21 is connected to the dustbin 2, the handle 12 and the dustbin 2 extend along the direction of the ground where the dust collection post 20 is installed (e.g., Figure 2 (As shown in the horizontal direction) are arranged side by side and connected.

[0134] like Figure 2 As shown, when the interface 21 is connected to the dustbin 2, in other words, when the vacuum cleaner 10 is connected to the dust collection pile 20, the handle 12 and the dustbin 2 are arranged side by side in the left-right direction. The handle 12 is preferably, but not limited to, connected to the right side of the dustbin 2. This is to avoid the handle 12 being too high, making it inconvenient for the operator to hold the handle 12 to connect and disconnect the vacuum cleaner 10 from the dust collection pile 20.

[0135] In some embodiments, when the interface 21 is connected to the dustbin 2, the intersection of the center line of the handle 12 and the center line of the dustbin 20 is located above the dustbin 20, with the ground where the dust collection pile 20 is set as a reference.

[0136] like Figure 2 As shown, when the interface 21 is connected to the dustbin 2, in other words, when the vacuum cleaner 10 is connected to the dust collection pile 20, the handle 12 is positioned away from the dustbin 2 (e.g., Figure 2 Extending to the right (as shown), and tilted upwards, the center line of handle 12 (as shown) Figure 2 The dotted line E shown is parallel to the center line of the dust collection pile 20 (as shown in the image). Figure 2 The intersection point X of the dashed line N shown is located above the dust collection pile 20 to ensure that the tilt angle of the handle 12 is easy for the operator to hold.

[0137] In some embodiments, the body 1 further includes a battery compartment 13, which is connected to the end of the handle 12 away from the dustbin 2, and is used to house a battery that supplies power to the vacuum motor 9.

[0138] like Figure 3 As shown, the body 1 also includes a battery compartment 13, which is used to house a battery that supplies power to the vacuum motor 9. The battery is preferably, but not limited to, replaceably located in the battery compartment 13.

[0139] The battery compartment 13 is connected to the right end of the handle 12, and the left end of the handle 12 is connected to the dustbin 2. In other words, the handle 12 is connected between the battery compartment 13 and the dustbin 2. This facilitates the maintenance and replacement of the battery in the battery compartment 13.

[0140] In some embodiments, at least one of the center line of the dust bucket 2 and the center line of the suction duct 11 is parallel to the center line of the battery compartment 13.

[0141] As shown in Figure 6 , the battery compartment 13 extends downward from the right end of the handle 12, and the center line of the battery compartment 13 is a dashed line F as shown in Figure 2 , the center line of the battery compartment 13, the center line of the dust bucket 2 (a dashed line M as shown in Figure 3 ) and the center line of the suction duct 11 (a dashed line L as shown in Figure 6 ) are all parallel, and preferably but not limited to extending in the vertical direction. So that the vacuum cleaner 10 has a smaller occupied space, especially in the left-right direction, while also facilitating the installation and removal of the battery, and also enabling the battery to have a larger volume and thus a higher capacity.

[0142] Further, the machine body 1 further comprises a hand guard 14, which is arranged in the up-down direction with the handle 12 and below the handle 12, and is connected between the lower end of the battery compartment 13 and the upper end of the suction duct 11, to ensure the stability of the battery compartment 13 structure, and to ensure that the machine body 1 has higher structural strength and stability.

[0143] In some embodiments, the suction duct 11 is located between the dust bucket 2 and the battery compartment 13.

[0144] As shown in Figure 3 , the dust bucket 2, the suction duct 11 and the battery compartment 13 are arranged in sequence in the left-right direction, so that the vacuum cleaner has a smaller occupied space, while facilitating the replacement of the battery in the battery compartment 13, and also facilitating the docking and separation of the dust bucket 2 and the dust collection pile 20.

[0145] In some embodiments, the dust collection system of the utility model embodiment further comprises an opening and closing cover mechanism 30.

[0146] The opening and closing cover mechanism 30 is provided on the dust collection pile 20, and the opening and closing cover mechanism 30 can move to actuate the release button 5 to drive the locking mechanism 4 to disengage from the dust bucket 2, so that the bucket cover 3 rotates from the closed position to the open position, and pushes the bucket cover 3 from the open position to the closed position, as shown in Figure 7 and Figure 3 .

[0147] When the dust tank 2 of the dust collector 10 needs to be emptied, the dust collector 10 is docked with the dust collecting post 20, and the dust outlet of the dust tank 2 and the tank cover 3 are opposite to the docking port 21 of the dust collecting post 20. The tank cover 3 is opened to expose the dust outlet by actuating the release button 5 of the opening and closing cover mechanism 30. The dust in the dust tank 2 is discharged through the dust outlet and collected in the dust collecting post 20. After the dusting is completed, the tank cover 3 is rotated from the open position to the closed position by the opening and closing cover mechanism 30 to close the dust outlet. At this time, the dust collector 10 can be placed on the dust collecting post 20 or separated from the dust collecting post 20 for dusting operation. Therefore, during the dusting process of the dust collector 10, only the opening and closing cover mechanism 30 needs to be operated to open and close the tank cover 3, without manual operation of the tank cover 3, which is convenient to use.

[0148] As shown in Figure 6 , the dust collecting post 20 extends in the vertical direction. The top of the dust collecting post 20 is provided with a docking port 21. The bottom of the dust tank 2 can be docked with and separated from the top of the dust collecting post 20. The opening and closing cover mechanism 30 is arranged in the dust collecting post 20 and located at the top of the dust collecting post 20, so as to actuate the release button 5 and push the tank cover 3.

[0149] In some embodiments, the opening and closing cover mechanism 30 includes a driving shaft 31, a pushing link 32 and an actuating link 33.

[0150] The driving shaft 31 is pivotally arranged in the dust collecting post 20. The pushing link 32 is connected with the driving shaft 31, so as to be driven by the driving shaft 31 to push the tank cover 3 from the open position to the closed position and to be separated from the tank cover 3 to allow the tank cover 3 to pivot. The actuating link 33 is connected with the driving shaft 31. When the pushing link 32 is separated from the tank cover 3, the actuating link 33 is driven by the driving shaft 31 to actuate the release button 5.

[0151] As shown in Figure 3 and Figure 5 , the driving shaft 31 is pivotally arranged in the dust collecting post 20. The axial direction of the driving shaft 31 is parallel to the pivoting direction of the tank cover 3 relative to the dust tank 2, both being left-right directions. The driving shaft 31 is arranged at the part of the dust collecting post 20 opposite to the left side of the dust tank 2, preferably at the left side of the docking port 21.
