[0025] Example

[0026] Reference Figure 1-4 This is an embodiment of the present invention, which provides a vacuum cleaner box for a robotic vacuum cleaner, comprising:

[0027] The box body 100 includes an outer shell 101, a box cover 102 inserted into the upper end of the outer shell 101, a dust suction port 103 disposed on one side of the outer shell 101, and an air outlet pipe 104 inserted into the other side of the outer shell 101, the air outlet pipe 104 communicating with the inside of the outer shell 101.

[0028] The filter 200 includes a frame 201 inserted into the inner side wall of the housing 101, a filter element 202 encapsulated inside the frame 201, and a mesh plate 203 inserted into the side wall of the frame 201. The side wall of the mesh plate 203 has a through hole structure that cooperates with the filter element 202. The side wall of the frame 201 is attached to the end of the air outlet pipe 104.

[0029] The outer shell 101 connects to the main body of the robot vacuum cleaner, and the suction port 103 sucks up dust and other debris from the ground. The air outlet 104 connects to the inside of the outer shell 101 to discharge filtered air. The cover 102 and the outer shell 101 together form a relatively enclosed space to prevent dust from overflowing. The frame 201 encapsulates a filter element 202 to filter dust and other debris, effectively filtering small particles in the air to ensure clean exhaust air. The mesh plate 203 initially blocks larger particles to prevent the filter element 202 from clogging.

[0030] Specifically, the upper end of the frame 201 is inserted into the lower side wall of the cover 102, and a gasket that seals with the frame 201 is pasted on the inner wall of the cover 102.

[0031] The inner wall of the lid 102 is fitted with a gasket. When the lid 102 is closed to the outer shell 101, the gasket makes a sealing contact with the frame 201, further enhancing the sealing performance.

[0032] Furthermore, the side wall of the frame 201 is provided with a buckle structure that is in close contact with the inner wall of the outer shell 101, and the buckle of the side wall of the frame 201 is engaged with the inner side of the buckle of the outer shell 101.

[0033] The frame 201 has a side wall buckle that engages with the outer shell 101 to achieve stable installation of the frame 201.

[0034] Furthermore, the housing 100 also includes a sealing plate 105 rotatably mounted inside the suction port 103, and a rewind spring 106 snapped onto the side wall of the pivot at the end of the sealing plate 105. The end of the rewind spring 106 is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the housing 101, and the width of the sealing plate 105 is greater than the outer diameter of the suction port 103.

[0035] When the robot vacuum stops working, the sealing plate 105 closes the suction port 103 under the action of the return spring 106 to prevent dust from leaking out of the box. When the robot vacuum is working, the external suction force overcomes the elasticity of the return spring 106 to open the sealing plate 105, making it convenient to carry out cleaning operations.

[0036] Preferably, the housing 100 also includes a support column 107 installed on the inner side wall of the housing 101, and a pin 108 slidably connected in the middle of the slide groove on the side wall of the cover 102, with the end of the pin 108 inserted into the middle of the through hole at the top of the support column 107.

[0037] The pin 108 is inserted into the middle of the through hole at the top of the support column 107. It is used to further fix the cover 102 when it is closed, thereby enhancing the overall structural stability. Moving the pin 108 will disengage its end from the end of the support column 107, making it easier to open the cover 102.

[0038] It should be noted that the box body 100 also includes a spring 109 fixedly connected to the tail of the pin rod 108, and the end of the spring 109 is engaged with the inner wall of the box cover 102.

[0039] The end of the spring 109 is engaged with the inner wall of the cover 102. When the cover 102 needs to be opened, additional force is required to overcome the elastic force of the spring 109 and pull the pin 108 out of the through hole of the support post 107. When the pin 108 is released, the spring 109 will release the elastic potential energy generated by the previous compression and push the pin 108 forward to return to its original position.

[0040] Preferably, the housing 100 also includes a knob 110 threadedly connected to the side wall of the housing 101, with the end of the knob 110 engaged in the middle of the groove on the side wall of the air outlet 104.

[0041] The knob 110 is used to fix the air outlet pipe 104 to the side wall of the housing 101. Loosening the knob 110 makes it easy to adjust the extension length of the air outlet pipe 104, which is convenient for docking with the robot vacuum cleaner.

[0042] When in use, the robot vacuum cleaner's motor starts, generating suction. Air carrying dust and debris from the floor enters the dustbin 100 through the suction port 103. At this time, the sealing plate 105, under the action of suction, overcomes the elasticity of the return spring 106 and rotates open, allowing the dust and debris to enter smoothly. The dust and debris entering the dustbin 100 first pass through the mesh plate 203, where larger particles are initially blocked. Then, the air, carrying smaller particles, enters the filter element 202, which performs deep filtration, leaving the dust and impurities inside the dustbin 100. The filtered air is then discharged through the exhaust pipe 104. When cleaning the dustbin, lift the lid 102 upwards, overcome the elasticity of the spring 109, and pull out the pin 108 to open the lid for cleaning. After cleaning, reinstall the cover 102. The pin 108 automatically inserts into the top through hole of the support column 107 under the action of the spring 109. The sealing plate 105 re-closes the dust inlet 103 under the action of the rewind spring 106. Loosen the knob 110 to release the lock of the outer shell 101 on the air outlet 104, making it easier to clean the air outlet 104.

[0043] In summary, the filter 200 combines a mesh plate 203 with a filter element 202. The mesh plate 203 initially blocks larger particles, reducing the burden on the filter element 202 and extending its lifespan. Simultaneously, the filter element 202 performs deep filtration of fine particles, ensuring clean exhaust air and improving the robot vacuum's suction performance. The cover 102 and the outer shell 101 are connected via an interlocking mechanism, and the inner wall gasket of the cover 102 is in sealed contact with the frame 201. The exhaust pipe 104 is fixed by a knob 110 and fits snugly against the frame 201. The sealing plate 105 normally closes the suction port 103. This multi-layered sealing structure effectively prevents dust from overflowing, ensuring a stable working environment inside the dustbin and improving the overall performance of the robot vacuum. The frame 201 is snapped into the outer shell 101 by a snap-fit ​​structure. The cover 102 is fixed to the support column 107 by a pin 108 and a spring 109. The air outlet 104 is fixed by a knob 110. These structures make it easy to disassemble and install the components when the dustbin needs cleaning and maintenance, which is convenient for users.
