If "first" or "second" is used in the description, it is only for the purpose of distinguishing technical features and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance, or implicitly indicating the number of indicated technical features, or implicitly indicating the order of the indicated technical features.

[0028] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0029] See Figures 1 to 3 This utility model discloses a floor cleaning and air purification device, comprising: an electrical body 100; a vacuum adsorption component 200 disposed in the electrical body 100, the vacuum adsorption component 200 having an air intake pipe 210 extending downward to the bottom of the electrical body 100; and an air purification component 300, the air purification component 300 including an air duct 310 disposed inside the electrical body 100, a filter element 320 located on the air duct 310, and a fluid actuator 330. The electrical body 100 has an air inlet 101 and an air outlet 102 communicating with the air duct 310, the air inlet 101 being located above the inlet of the air intake pipe 210. The inlet of the air intake pipe 210 is close to the ground to facilitate the adsorption of foreign objects from the ground.

[0030] The above-described floor cleaning and air purification device utilizes the suction pipe 210 of the vacuum adsorption component 200 to absorb foreign objects such as dander and hair from the floor. The fluid actuator 330 of the air purification component 300 drives air, located above the inlet of the suction pipe 210, into the air duct 310 within the electrical main body 100. After being filtered by the filter element 320, the air is discharged outwards. This allows for the simultaneous adsorption of foreign objects from the floor and purification of the surrounding air, resulting in excellent hygiene and cleaning effects. Furthermore, the device integrates both floor cleaning and air purification functions in a compact structure, which helps reduce the cost of using household cleaning tools. Of course, it is conceivable that the vacuum adsorption component 200 and the air purification component 300 could also be controlled independently for single-function operation.

[0031] See Figures 2 to 4 In some embodiments of this utility model, the vacuum adsorption assembly 200 includes a collection bucket 220 and a vacuum pump 230. The suction port of the vacuum pump 230 is connected to the collection bucket 220, and the exhaust port of the vacuum pump 230 is alternately arranged with the input port of the suction pipe 210. The output port of the suction pipe 210 is connected to the collection bucket 220. A container 400 capable of separating foreign objects from gas is provided between the output port of the suction pipe 210 and the suction port of the vacuum pump 230. It can be understood that when the vacuum pump 230 is working, it discharges the gas in the collection bucket 220, at which time a negative pressure is formed in the collection bucket 220. The suction pipe 210 can then suck hair, dander, or fine particles on the ground into the collection bucket 220. The container 400 can collect the foreign objects entering the collection bucket 220 so that the foreign objects can be sucked back into the vacuum pump 230 and block the vacuum pump 230. The staggered arrangement of the exhaust port of the air pump 230 and the inlet of the suction pipe 210 can prevent the air pump 230 from interfering with the suction pipe 210's work of sucking in foreign objects when it is exhausting.

[0032] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments of this utility model, the output port of the suction pipe 210 is connected to a connecting pipe 500 extending into the collection bucket 220, and the container 400 is a mesh dust collector detachably connected to the connecting pipe 500. It is understood that dust, hair, or particles sucked in by the suction pipe 210 will enter the mesh dust collector. If the mesh dust collector is full, it can be removed from the connecting pipe 500 for replacement, or the foreign matter can be emptied and the mesh dust collector reinstalled on the connecting pipe 500 for use.

[0033] In some embodiments of this utility model, the mesh dust collection component is a dust collection bag, which has an elastically deformable mounting sleeve 410. The outer peripheral wall of the end of the connecting pipe 500 is provided with an anti-detachment annular flange 510 that cooperates with the mounting sleeve 410. In this embodiment, the dust collection bag is made of non-woven fabric, and the mounting sleeve 410 is an elastic rubber sleeve, thereby facilitating the installation and removal of the dust collection bag. Of course, in other embodiments, the mesh dust collection component can also be a cage made of nylon material, with small pores to accommodate dust, lint, and other particulate matter.

[0034] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments of this utility model, in order to facilitate cleaning of the collection bucket 220 or replacement of the dust collection bag, the side of the electrical appliance body 100 is provided with an open drawer cavity 103, and the collection bucket 220 is slidably inserted into the drawer cavity 103.

[0035] See Figures 3 to 5 In some embodiments of this utility model, the collection bucket 220 includes an upward-opening box body 221 and a cover plate 222 that covers the opening of the box body 221. The suction port of the air pump 230 and the output port of the suction pipe 210 are both located on the bottom wall of the drawer cavity 103. The bottom wall of the box body 221 has a fluid outlet 224 corresponding to the suction port of the air pump 230 and a fluid inlet 223 corresponding to the output port of the suction pipe 210. A sealing ring 600 is provided between the suction port of the air pump 230 and the fluid outlet 224, and between the output port of the suction pipe 210 and the fluid inlet 223. It can be understood that after the collection bucket 220 is slid out of the drawer cavity 103, the cover plate 222 can be removed from the box body 221 to expose the mesh dust collection component and the inner cavity of the box body 221, which is convenient for the user to clean the collection bucket 220 or replace the dust collection bag. It should be noted that when the collection bucket 220 is slid out of the drawer cavity 103, since the suction pipe 210 and the vacuum pump 230 are fixed relative to the electrical body 100 and the connecting pipe 500 is fixed inside the collection bucket 220, the suction port of the vacuum pump 230 is separated from the collection bucket 220, and the suction pipe 210 is separated from the connecting pipe 500. When the collection bucket 220 is slidably inserted into the drawer cavity 103, the sealing ring 600 between the suction port of the vacuum pump 230 and the fluid outlet 224, and between the output port of the suction pipe 210 and the fluid inlet 223, can prevent gas leakage and ensure the effectiveness of the vacuum adsorption function.

[0036] See Figure 3In some embodiments of this utility model, one of the cover plate 222 and the top wall of the drawer cavity 103 is provided with a limiting groove 225, and the other is provided with a limiting protrusion that cooperates with the limiting groove 225. In this embodiment, the limiting groove 225 is formed on the cover plate 222, and the limiting protrusion is formed on the top wall of the drawer cavity 103. When the collection bucket 220 is slidably inserted into the drawer cavity 103, the limiting protrusion enters the limiting groove 225 and restricts the collection bucket 220 from sliding outward, preventing the collection bucket 220 from tilting or being displaced due to accidental contact, thereby ensuring that the vacuum adsorption assembly 200 can work normally.

[0037] See Figure 4 In some embodiments of this utility model, the box body 221 has an L-shaped recess 226 on the side wall opposite to the drawer cavity 103, and a decorative panel 120 is snapped onto the opening of the drawer cavity 103. It should be noted that the L-shaped recess 226 allows the user's four fingers to be inserted to pull the box body 221 outwards, forming a handle-free design. After the decorative panel 120 covers the opening of the drawer cavity 103, it does not protrude from the surface of the appliance body 100. Before the collection bucket 220 needs to be pulled out of the drawer cavity 103, the decorative panel 120 can be removed from the opening of the drawer cavity 103. The decorative panel 120 also serves a concealing function.

[0038] See Figures 3 to 4 In some embodiments of this utility model, the electrical body 100 includes a rectangular housing 110, the air duct 310 is arranged along the length of the housing 110, the length of the housing 110 is arranged vertically, the fluid drive 330 is a fan located at the top of the air duct 310 and outputs upwards, the air outlet 102 is located on the top wall of the housing 110 and opposite to the fan, the filter element 320 is located below the fan, and the air inlet 101 is located on the side wall of the housing 110 below the filter element 320. It can be understood that the fan drives the gas in the air duct 310 to flow upwards. External gas enters the air duct 310 from the air inlet 101, passes through the filter element 320 below, and then exits vertically upwards from the air outlet 102. The purified gas exits from the top of the housing 110 to avoid direct exposure to the human body and also facilitates diffusion into the indoor space.

[0039] In a preferred embodiment, a partition is provided in the lower part of the housing 110, a collection bucket 220 is placed above the partition, and the lower part of the partition is used to accommodate the air pump 230 and the suction pipe 210. A profile plate is provided in the upper part of the housing 110 for positioning the contour edge of the filter element 320. The drawer cavity 103 is located above the partition and directly below the filter element 320 to occupy a part of the air duct 310, thereby further improving the utilization rate of the internal space of the housing 110 and maximizing the structural compactness of the floor cleaning and air purification device.

[0040] See Figure 4 In some embodiments of this utility model, the air inlet 101 is located on opposite side walls of the housing 110, and a pre-filter 700 is detachably connected to the air inlet 101. It should be noted that the pre-filter 700 has relatively large pores, mainly used to block larger particles and dust to prevent clogging of the filter element 320, thus extending the service life of the filter element 320. The pre-filter 700 is removed from the air inlet 101 for easy cleaning, avoiding a reduction in air intake after a period of use and thus affecting air purification efficiency. Specifically, the air inlets 101 are located on opposite sides of the drawer cavity 103, so that taking out and putting in the collection bucket 220 will not affect the normal operation of the air purification component 300. In this embodiment, when the decorative panel 120 is snapped onto the opening of the drawer cavity 103, the decorative panel 120 can cover the filter element 320. When the decorative panel 120 is removed, the user can pull out the filter element 320 from the profile plate.

[0041] Specifically, in this embodiment, filter element 320 is a HEPA filter, which effectively captures particles larger than 0.3 micrometers, including dust, pollen, some bacteria and viruses, through physical interception. It also has a certain adsorption capacity for most gaseous pollutants. Of course, in other embodiments, filter element 320 can also be an electrostatic dust collection filter. Electrostatic dust collection filters do not require frequent filter replacement, have lower maintenance costs, and can also kill some bacteria and viruses. Furthermore, depending on specific usage needs, the floor cleaning and air purification device of this invention can also be equipped with at least one of an ozone generator, a UV sterilizer, and a negative ion generator.

[0042] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0043] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
