[0059] Refer Figures 1 to 14As shown, the vacuum cleaner 1 includes a dust collection container 10 and at least one suction motor, which includes a first suction motor 20 and a second suction motor 21. The vacuum cleaner 1 also includes an air inlet channel 30, a first air duct 31 corresponding to the first suction motor 20, a second air duct 32 corresponding to the second suction motor 21, and a valve 4. The first air duct 31 is used to connect the first suction motor 20 and the air inlet channel 30, and the second air duct 32 is used to connect the second suction motor 21 and the air inlet channel 30. The valve 4 can rotate under the suction of the first suction motor 20 and also under the suction of the second suction motor 21. The valve 4 includes a first valve plate 40, a second valve plate 41, a third valve plate 42, a third valve plate 43, a fourth valve plate 43, a fifth valve plate 44, a sixth valve plate 44, a seventh valve plate 44, a seventh valve plate 45, a sixth valve plate 46, a seventh valve plate 47, a ninth valve plate 48, a thief's tenth valve plate 49 ... The two valve plates 41 rotate synchronously with the rotation of the valve 4. When the second suction motor 21 is not working and the first suction motor 20 is suctioning, the first valve plate 40 does not close the first air duct 31 and the second valve plate 41 closes the second air duct 32, so that the airflow can flow through the air inlet channel 30, the first air duct 31, and the first suction motor 20 in sequence. When the first suction motor 20 is not working and the second suction motor 21 is suctioning, the first valve plate 40 closes the first air duct 31 and the second valve plate 41 does not close the second air duct 32, so that the airflow can flow through the air inlet channel 30, the second air duct 32, and the second suction motor 21 in sequence.

[0060] The first air duct 31 has a first inlet 310, which connects to the air inlet channel 30. The second air duct 32 has a second inlet 320, which connects to the air inlet channel 30. The first valve plate 40 can close the first inlet 310 and open relative to it, and the second valve plate 41 can close the second inlet 320 and open relative to it. When the second suction motor 21 is not working and the first suction motor 20 is under suction, the second valve... When plate 41 is in a closed state for the second inlet 320 and the first valve plate 40 is in an open state relative to the first inlet 310, the airflow can flow sequentially through the air inlet channel 30, the first air duct 31, and the first suction motor 20; when the first suction motor 20 is not working and under the suction of the second suction motor 21, the first valve plate 40 is in a closed state for the first inlet 310 and the second valve plate 41 is in an open state relative to the second inlet 320, the airflow can flow sequentially through the air inlet channel 30, the second air duct 32, and the second suction motor 21.

[0061] The first suction motor 20 and the second suction motor 21 can be selected to perform suction work, and they cannot perform suction work simultaneously; optionally, the first suction motor 20 is an AC brushed motor, which is powered by an external AC power source (such as AC mains) via a cable; optionally, the second suction motor 21 is a DC brushless motor, which can be powered by a battery pack. This configuration eliminates the need for an AC / DC converter in the vacuum cleaner 1, thus reducing costs, as AC / DC converters are relatively more expensive; the vacuum cleaner 1 can be equipped with a control circuit board containing a control chip, which controls the vacuum cleaner 1 to preferentially use AC power (preferably an AC brushed motor for suction work), and... When the dust collector 1 is connected to an AC power source and a battery pack, under the automatic control of the control chip, the first suction motor 20 operates while the second suction motor 21 does not, and the power supply connection of the battery pack to the second suction motor 21 is disconnected. Optionally, the first suction motor 20 and the second suction motor 21 have different rated power, thus providing users with different suction capabilities. Alternatively, it can be designed so that the operation of the first suction motor 20 or the second suction motor 21 can be manually selected via a switch 11. When the switch 11 is switched to the left (position 1), the first suction motor 20 operates; when the switch 11 is switched to the right (position 2), the second suction motor 21 operates. Figure 1 The switch 11 is in the off position, and it does not switch to the left or right. At this time, the vacuum cleaner 1 is in the off state.

[0062] The vacuum cleaner 1 also includes a head 12, latches 13, several wheels 14, and a suction port 19. The head 12 includes at least one suction motor located inside the head 12. The head 12 is detachably mounted on the upper part of the dust collection container 10. A latch 13 is provided on each of the left and right sides of the head 12, and the head 12 and the dust collection container 10 are locked together by the latches 13. The wheels 14 are located at the lower part of the dust collection container 10. When the second suction motor 21 is not working and under the suction of the first suction motor 20, the air pressure in the second air duct 32 is greater than the air pressure in the first air duct 31 and the suction port 19. The air pressure in the air duct 30 and the air pressure in the second air duct 32 push the second valve plate 41 to close the second inlet 320 (or, the air pressure in the second air duct 32 pushes the second valve plate 41 to close the second air duct 32). When the first suction motor 20 is not working and the second suction motor 21 is suctioning, the air pressure in the first air duct 31 is greater than the air pressure in the second air duct 32 and the air pressure in the air inlet duct 30. The air pressure in the first air duct 31 pushes the first valve plate 40 to close the first inlet 310 (or, the air pressure in the first air duct 31 pushes the first valve plate 40 to close the first air duct 31). The suction port 19 is provided on the dust collection container 10. Under the suction of the at least one suction motor, the suction airflow carrying dirt is sucked into the dust collection container 10 through the suction port 19, filtered by the filter device 6, and then discharged. The suction port 19 can also be designed to be located on the machine head 12. The dust collection container 10 has a capacity between 0.5 gallons (1 gallon = 3.785412 liters) and 30 gallons, preferably between 1 gallon and 20 gallons, such as 6 gallons, 9 gallons, 12 gallons, 14 gallons, and 16 gallons. The battery pack can be plugged into a connection slot provided on the head unit 12.

[0063] Valve 4 can rotate between a first position and a second position; valve 4 is limited to rotating between the first position and the second position; when the second suction motor 21 is not working and under the suction of the first suction motor 20, valve 4 rotates to the first position; when valve 4 is in the first position, the first valve plate 40 is open relative to the first inlet 310 and the second valve plate 41 closes the second inlet 320; when the first suction motor 20 is not working and under the suction of the second suction motor 21, valve 4 rotates to the second position; when valve 4 is in the second position, the second valve plate 41 is open relative to the second inlet 320 and the first valve plate 40 closes the first inlet 310; the rotation axis of valve 4 is located between the first suction motor 20 and the second suction motor 21, valve 4 can rotate from the first position to the side closer to the rotation axis of the second suction motor 21 to turn to the second position, and valve 4 can rotate from the second position to the side closer to the rotation axis of the first suction motor 20 to turn to the first position. The rotation axis of the first suction motor 20 is the same as the rotation axis of the shaft of the first suction motor 20, and the rotation axis of the second suction motor 21 is the same as the rotation axis of the shaft of the second suction motor 21.

[0064] Vacuum cleaner 1 also includes an air duct assembly 5 and a filter device 6. The filter device 6 is used to filter dirt that enters the vacuum cleaner 1 along with the suction airflow. The dirt filtered by the filter device 6 is retained in the dust collection container 10. A valve 4 is disposed in the air duct assembly 5 and is rotatably connected to the air duct assembly 5.

The filter device 6 and the at least one suction motor are located on the front and rear sides of the vertical extension section 301. The filter device 6 is located on the rear side of the vertical extension section 301. This design allows for a compact and reasonable layout of the various parts.

[0067] The vacuum cleaner 1 includes a housing 7, a filter device 6 installed on the housing 7, and the housing 7 connected to the air duct assembly 5. The housing 7 is located upstream of the air inlet channel 30. When the second suction motor 21 is not working and the first suction motor 20 is operating, the first valve plate 40 opens relative to the first inlet 310, and the second valve plate 41 closes the second inlet 320. The airflow (generated by the first suction motor 20) can flow sequentially through the filter device 6, the housing 7, the air inlet channel 30, the first air duct 31, and the first suction motor 20. When the first suction motor 20 is not working and the second suction motor 21 is operating, the second valve plate 41 opens relative to the second inlet 320, and the first valve plate 40 closes the first inlet 310.

The air duct assembly 5 and the housing 7 are fixedly mounted on the head 12, and the housing 7 is located inside the head 12. The air duct assembly 5 and the housing 7 each constitute part of the head unit 12. The head unit 12 also includes a housing 120 and a handle 121 disposed on the upper side of the housing 120. The head unit 12 can be installed on and removed from the upper end of the dust collection container 10 as a whole. The housing 7 is located inside the housing 120.

[0068] The air duct assembly 5 includes a first part 50 and a second part 51, which are integrally formed single parts. The first part 50 and the second part 51 are combined to form the air duct assembly 5. The air inlet channel 30, the first air duct 31, and the second air duct 32 are formed between the first part 50 and the second part 51, respectively. The tray part 500 is part of the first part 50. The valve 4 is located between the tray part 500 and the portion of the second part 51 located on the lower side of the tray part 500.

[0071] The air duct assembly 5 also includes a first baffle 520, a second baffle 521, and a third baffle 522 corresponding to the first valve plate 40, and a fourth baffle 530, a fifth baffle 531, and a sixth baffle 532 corresponding to the second valve plate 41. The first baffle 520, the second baffle 521, and the third baffle 522 form part of the periphery of the first inlet 310. The first baffle 520, the second baffle 521, and the third baffle 522 together form a U-shape. The first baffle 520 and the second baffle 521 are located in the first part 50, and the third baffle 522 is located in the second part 51; the fourth baffle... Rib 530, fifth rib 531, and sixth rib 532 form part of the periphery of the second entrance 320. The fourth rib 530, fifth rib 531, and sixth rib 532 together form a U-shape.

[0072] When valve 4 is in the second position, the first valve plate 40 abuts against the first baffle 520, the second baffle 521, and the third baffle 522 to close the first inlet 310; when valve 4 is in the first position, the second valve plate 41 abuts against the fourth baffle 530, the fifth baffle 531, and the sixth baffle 532 to close the second inlet 320; the rotation axis of valve 4, the second baffle 521, and the fifth baffle 531 all extend in the vertical direction.

[0073] Vacuum cleaner 1 includes a first filter section 60, a valve core 8 installed in a housing 7, and a valve duct 80. The valve duct 80 is at least partially formed inside the valve core 8 and is at least partially surrounded by the valve core 8. An air inlet channel 30 is used for fluid communication between the valve duct 80 and the at least one suction motor. The housing 7 is provided with a backflow air inlet 700 and a first vent 701 corresponding to the first filter section 60. The valve core 8 is at least partially located inside the housing 7 and can rotate relative to the housing 7, so that the valve core 8 can rotate to different angular positions relative to the housing 7. The valve core 8 can rotate relative to the housing 7 from a first angular position to a second angular position. When the valve core 8 is in the first angular position, the first... A vent 701 is connected to a valve duct 80; when the valve core 8 is in the first angle position, the valve core 8 isolates the backflow inlet 700 from the first vent 701; when the valve core 8 is in the first angle position, the valve duct 80 is connected between the air inlet channel 30 and the first vent 701; when the valve core 8 is in the first angle position, under the suction of the at least one suction motor, air (air in the dust collection container 10 or air in the non-clean side 150 of the first filter section 60) can flow sequentially through the non-clean side 150 of the first filter section 60, the first filter section 60, the clean side 151 of the first filter section 60, the first vent 701, the valve duct 80, and the air inlet channel 30.

[0074] When the valve core 8 is in the second angle position, the first vent 701 is isolated from the valve duct 80; when the valve core 8 is in the second angle position, the backflow inlet 700 is connected to the first vent 701; when the valve core 8 is in the second angle position, the backflow inlet 700 and the first vent 701 are connected because they are not isolated by the valve core 8; when the valve core 8 is in the second angle position, under the negative pressure of the non-clean side 150 of the first filter section 60 relative to the backflow inlet 700 (or under the suction of the at least one suction motor), air (air outside the backflow inlet 700) can flow sequentially through the backflow inlet 700, the first vent 701, the clean side 151 of the first filter section 60, the first filter section 60, and the non-clean side 150 of the first filter section 60, thereby gradually reducing the blockage of the first filter section 60 and achieving the cleaning of the first filter section 60. When the valve core 8 is in the second angle position, under the suction of the at least one suction motor, the non-clean side 150 of the first filter section 60 generates a negative pressure relative to the backflow inlet 700 and the outside of the vacuum cleaner 1. The backflow inlet 700 can be designed to be unobstructedly connected to the outside of the vacuum cleaner 1. The air outside the backflow inlet 700 can originate from the outside of the vacuum cleaner 1 and / or the airflow discharged by the at least one suction motor. Alternatively, the air flowing through the backflow inlet 700 can originate from the outside of the vacuum cleaner 1 and / or the airflow discharged by the at least one suction motor.

[0075] In this embodiment, the suction of at least one suction motor can be either the first suction motor 20 or the second suction motor 21. For the clogging removal scheme of the filter device 6, the at least one suction motor can be a single motor. For the first filter section 60, air flows sequentially through the non-clean side 150, the first filter section 60, and the clean side 151 of the first filter section 60. In this case, the air passes through the first filter section 60 in a forward direction. The dirt carried by the air is filtered by the first filter section 60 and can remain in the dust collection container 10. Some tiny dirt particles will gradually accumulate on the first filter section 60 and clog it. Air also flows sequentially through the clean side 151, the first filter section 60, and the non-clean side 150 of the first filter section 60. In this case, the air passes through the first filter section 60 in a reverse direction. This reverse flow of air backflushes the first filter section 60, effectively clearing the clogging. The air passing through the first filter section 60 in the opposite direction blows off the dirt clogging the first filter section 60 and falls back into the dust collection container 10. The non-clean side 150 and clean side 151 of the first filter section 60 are based on the suction airflow carrying dirt that has been filtered by the first filter section 60. When the suction airflow carrying dirt flows to one side of the first filter section 60, the suction airflow has not yet been filtered by the first filter section 60, and the said side of the first filter section 60 belongs to the non-clean side 150 of the first filter section 60. When the suction airflow carrying dirt passes through the first filter section 60 and flows to the other side of the first filter section 60, thereby obtaining filtration from the first filter section 60, the said other side of the first filter section 60 belongs to the clean side 151 of the first filter section 60.

[0076] When the valve core 8 is in the second angle position, a first backflow duct 90 is formed between the valve core 8 and the housing 7, connecting the backflow inlet 700 and the first vent 701. When the valve core 8 is in the second angle position, under the negative pressure of the non-clean side 150 of the first filter section 60 relative to the backflow inlet 700 (or under the suction of the at least one suction motor), air (air outside the backflow inlet 700) can flow sequentially through the backflow inlet 700, the first backflow duct 90, the first vent 701, the clean side 151 of the first filter section 60, the first filter section 60, and the non-clean side 150 of the first filter section 60, thereby gradually reducing the blockage of the first filter section 60 and achieving cleaning of the first filter section 60.

[0077] The vacuum cleaner 1 also includes a second filter section 61, and the housing 7 is further provided with a second vent 702 corresponding to the second filter section 61. The first vent 701 and the second vent 702 are circumferentially spaced around the rotation axis of the valve core 8. When the valve core 8 is in a first angular position, the second vent 702 and the first vent 701 are respectively connected to the valve duct 80. The valve duct 80 can rotate with the rotation of the valve core 8 to switch the connection and isolation between the valve duct 80 and the first vent 701, and to switch the connection and isolation between the valve duct 80 and the second vent 702. When the valve core 8 is in the first angular position, the second vent 702 is connected to the valve duct 80. When the valve core 8 is in the first angle position, the valve core 8 isolates the backflow inlet 700 from the second vent 702 and the first vent 701; when the valve core 8 is in the first angle position, the valve air duct 80 connects the air inlet channel 30 and the second vent 702 and the air inlet channel 30 and the first vent 701; when the valve core 8 is in the first angle position, under the suction of the at least one suction motor, air (air in the dust collection container 10 or air in the non-clean side 160 of the second filter section 61) can flow sequentially through the non-clean side 160 of the second filter section 61, the second filter section 61, the clean side 161 of the second filter section 61, the second vent 702, the valve air duct 80, and the air inlet channel 30.

[0078] When the valve core 8 is in the second angle position, the second vent 702 is connected to the valve duct 80; when the valve core 8 is in the second angle position, the valve core 8 isolates the backflow inlet 700 from the second vent 702; when the valve core 8 is in the second angle position, under the suction of the at least one suction motor, air (air in the dust collection container 10 or air in the non-clean side 160 of the second filter section 61) can flow sequentially through the non-clean side 160 of the second filter section 61, the second filter section 61, the clean side 161 of the second filter section 61, the second vent 702, the valve duct 80, and the air inlet channel 30;

[0079] The valve core 8 can rotate between a second angular position and a third angular position; the valve core 8 can rotate from a first angular position to a second angular position in a direction of rotation; the valve core 8 can rotate from a first angular position to a third angular position in the opposite direction of rotation; the valve core 8 can rotate from a second angular position through a first angular position to a third angular position in the opposite direction of rotation; the valve core 8 is limited to rotating between the second angular position and the third angular position.

[0080] When valve core 8 is in the third angle position, the second vent 702 is isolated from the valve duct 80; when valve core 8 is in the third angle position, the first vent 701 is connected to the valve duct 80; when valve core 8 is in the third angle position, valve core 8 isolates the backflow inlet 700 from the first vent 701; when valve core 8 is in the third angle position, the backflow inlet 700 is connected to the second vent 702; when valve core 8 is in the third angle position, the backflow inlet 700 and the second vent 702 are connected because they are not isolated by valve core 8.

[0081] When the valve core 8 is in the third angle position, under the suction of the at least one suction motor, air (the air in the dust collection container 10 or the air in the non-clean side 150 of the first filter section 60) can flow sequentially through the non-clean side 150 of the first filter section 60, the first filter section 60, the clean side 151 of the first filter section 60, the first vent 701, the valve duct 80, and the air inlet duct 30.

[0082] When the valve core 8 is in the third angle position, under the negative pressure of the non-clean side 160 of the second filter section 61 relative to the backflow inlet 700 (or under the suction of the at least one suction motor), air (air outside the backflow inlet 700) can flow sequentially through the backflow inlet 700, the second vent 702, the clean side 161 of the second filter section 61, the second filter section 61, and the non-clean side 160 of the second filter section 61, thereby gradually reducing the blockage of the second filter section 61 and achieving cleaning of the second filter section 61. When the valve core 8 is in the third angle position, under the suction of the at least one suction motor, a negative pressure is generated on the non-clean side 160 of the second filter section 61 relative to the backflow inlet 700 and the external atmospheric environment.

[0083] When valve core 8 is in the first angle position, the vacuum cleaner 1 operates normally without clearing blockages in the filter device 6. When valve core 8 is in the first angle position, a suction airflow is formed under the suction of at least one suction motor. This airflow carries dust, debris, and other dirt through the suction port (i.e., suction port 19) and enters the dust collection container 10. The airflow then splits into two paths, flowing through the first filter section 60 and the second filter section 61 respectively, thus filtering the suction airflow. Turning valve core 8 to the second angle position allows for clearing blockages in the first filter section 60. In this case, the vacuum cleaner 1's ability to suction dirt is significantly reduced, therefore, the vacuum cleaner 1's suction operation is abnormal. Turning valve core 8 to the third angle position allows for clearing blockages in the second filter section 61. In this case, the vacuum cleaner 1's ability to suction dirt is also significantly reduced, therefore, the vacuum cleaner 1's suction operation is also abnormal.

[0084] For the second filter section 61, air flows sequentially through the non-clean side 160, the second filter section 61, and the clean side 161 of the second filter section 61. In this case, the air passes through the second filter section 61 in a forward direction. The dirt carried by the air is filtered by the second filter section 61 and can remain in the dust collection container 10. Some tiny dirt particles will accumulate on the second filter section 61 and gradually clog it. In the other case, air flows sequentially through the clean side 161, the second filter section 61, and the non-clean side 160 of the second filter section 61. In this case, the air passes through the second filter section 61 in a reverse direction. The air flowing in the reverse direction backflushes the second filter section 61, clearing the blockage. The air passing through the second filter section 61 in the opposite direction blows off the dirt clogging the second filter section 61, which falls back into the dust collection container 10. The non-clean side 160 and clean side 161 of the second filter section 61 are based on the suction airflow carrying dirt that is filtered by the second filter section 61. When the suction airflow carrying dirt flows to one side of the second filter section 61, the suction airflow has not yet been filtered by the second filter section 61, and the said side of the second filter section 61 belongs to the non-clean side 160 of the second filter section 61. When the suction airflow carrying dirt passes through the second filter section 61 and flows to the other side of the second filter section 61, thereby obtaining filtration from the second filter section 61, the said other side of the second filter section 61 belongs to the clean side 161 of the second filter section 61.

[0085] When the valve core 8 is in the second angle position, under the suction of the at least one suction motor, air (air outside the backflow inlet 700) can flow sequentially through the backflow inlet 700, the first vent 701, the clean side 151 of the first filter section 60, the first filter section 60, the non-clean side 150 of the first filter section 60, the non-clean side 160 of the second filter section 61, the second filter section 61, the clean side 161 of the second filter section 61, the second vent 702, the valve duct 80, and the air inlet channel 30.

[0086] When the valve core 8 is in the third angle position, under the suction of the at least one suction motor, air (air outside the backflow inlet 700) can flow sequentially through the backflow inlet 700, the second vent 702, the clean side 161 of the second filter section 61, the second filter section 61, the non-clean side 160 of the second filter section 61, the non-clean side 150 of the first filter section 60, the first filter section 60, the clean side 151 of the first filter section 60, the first vent 701, the valve duct 80, and the air inlet channel 30, thereby cleaning the blockage of the first filter section 60.

[0087] When the valve core 8 is in the third angle position, a second backflow duct 91 is formed between the valve core 8 and the housing 7, connecting the backflow inlet 700 and the second vent 702. When the valve core 8 is in the third angle position, under the negative pressure of the non-clean side 160 of the second filter section 61 relative to the backflow inlet 700 (or under the suction of the at least one suction motor), air (air outside the backflow inlet 700) can flow sequentially through the backflow inlet 700, the second backflow duct 91, the second vent 702, the clean side 161 of the second filter section 61, the second filter section 61, and the non-clean side 160 of the second filter section 61, thereby cleaning the blockage of the second filter section 61.

[0088] When the valve core 8 is in the second angle position, under the suction of the at least one suction motor, air (air outside the backflow inlet 700) can flow sequentially through the backflow inlet 700, the first backflow duct 90, the first vent 701, the clean side 151 of the first filter section 60, the first filter section 60, the non-clean side 150 of the first filter section 60, the non-clean side 160 of the second filter section 61, the second filter section 61, the clean side 161 of the second filter section 61, the second vent 702, the valve duct 80, and the air inlet channel 30.

[0089] When the valve core 8 is in the third angle position, under the suction of the at least one suction motor, air (air outside the backflow inlet 700) can flow sequentially through the backflow inlet 700, the second backflow duct 91, the second vent 702, the clean side 161 of the second filter section 61, the second filter section 61, the non-clean side 160 of the second filter section 61, the non-clean side 150 of the first filter section 60, the first filter section 60, the clean side 151 of the first filter section 60, the first vent 701, the valve duct 80, and the air inlet channel 30.

[0090] The valve duct 80 has a valve inlet 800 and a valve outlet 801. The valve inlet 800 and valve outlet 801 are located on the valve core 8, thus the valve core 8 has the valve inlet 800 and the valve outlet 801. The valve inlet 800 is located on one side radially of the valve core 8, and the valve outlet 801 is located on one end axially of the valve core 8. The valve outlet 801 is located downstream of the valve inlet 800 and upstream of the air inlet duct 30. The valve inlet 800 moves relative to the first vent 701 and the second vent 702 as the valve core 8 rotates, so as to switch the positions of the valve inlet 800 and the first vent 701 to be aligned and connected, and to be misaligned and isolated. The valve inlet 800 and the second vent 702 are aligned and connected, or staggered and isolated. In this embodiment, the valve inlet 800 is a single opening on the valve core 8. The circumferential dimensions of the first vent 701 and the second vent 702 around the rotation axis of the valve core 8 are smaller than the circumferential dimensions of the valve inlet 800 around the rotation axis of the valve core 8. Alternatively, the valve inlet 800 can be designed as two circumferentially separated halves, with one half corresponding to the first vent 701 and the other half corresponding to the second vent 702.

[0091] When the valve core 8 is in the first angle position, the first vent 701 is connected to the valve inlet 800; when the valve core 8 is in the first angle position, the second vent 702 is connected to the valve inlet 800; when the valve core 8 is in the first angle position, under the suction of the at least one suction motor, air (air in the dust collection container 10 or air in the non-clean side 150 of the first filter section 60) can flow sequentially through the non-clean side 150 of the first filter section 60, the first filter section 60, and the clean side 151 of the first filter section 60. The system includes a first vent 701, a valve inlet 800, a valve outlet 801, and an air inlet channel 30. When the valve core 8 is in the first angle position, under the suction of the at least one suction motor, air (the air in the dust collection container 10 or the air in the non-clean side 160 of the second filter section 61) can flow sequentially through the non-clean side 160 of the second filter section 61, the second filter section 61, the clean side 161 of the second filter section 61, the second vent 702, the valve inlet 800, the valve outlet 801, and the air inlet channel 30.

[0092] When the valve core 8 is in the second angle position, the first vent 701 is offset from the valve inlet 800 and isolated from the valve duct 80; when the valve core 8 is in the second angle position, the second vent 702 is connected to the valve inlet 800; when the valve core 8 is in the second angle position, under the suction of the at least one suction motor, air (air in the dust collection container 10 or air in the non-clean side 160 of the second filter section 61) can flow sequentially through the non-clean side 160 of the second filter section 61, the second filter section 61, the clean side 161 of the second filter section 61, the second vent 702, the valve inlet 800, the valve outlet 801, and the air inlet duct 30;

[0094] The housing 7 is provided with a first air chamber 710 corresponding to the first filter section 60 and a second air chamber 711 corresponding to the second filter section 61. The first air chamber 710 is located on the clean side 151 of the first filter section 60, and the second air chamber 711 is located on the clean side 161 of the second filter section 61. The first air chamber 710 is connected between the first filter section 60 and the first vent 701, and the second air chamber 711 is connected between the second filter section 61 and the second vent 702. The first vent 701 constitutes the vent for external ventilation of the first air chamber 710, and the second vent 702 constitutes the vent for external ventilation of the second air chamber 711. When the valve core 8 is in the first angle position, under the suction of the at least one suction motor, air (air in the dust collection container 10 or air in the non-clean side 150 of the first filter section 60) can flow sequentially through the non-clean side 150 of the first filter section 60 and the first filter section 60. The system comprises a first air chamber 710, a first vent 701, a valve inlet 800, a valve outlet 801, and an air inlet channel 30. When the valve core 8 is in the first angle position, under the suction of the at least one suction motor, air (the air in the dust collection container 10 or the air in the non-clean side 160 of the second filter section 61) can flow sequentially through the non-clean side 160 of the second filter section 61, the second filter section 61, the second air chamber 711, the second vent 702, the valve inlet 800, the valve outlet 801, and the air inlet channel 30. The first filter section 60 and the first vent 701 are located on opposite sides of the first air chamber 710, and the first filter section 60 covers the side of the first air chamber 710 away from the first vent 701. The second filter section 61 and the second vent 702 are located on opposite sides of the second air chamber 711, and the second filter section 61 covers the side of the second air chamber 711 away from the second vent 702.

[0095] The vacuum cleaner 1 also includes a servo motor 17 for driving the valve core 8 to rotate. A rotating shaft 170 extends along the rotation axis of the valve core 8 and is connected to the valve core 8 for driving its rotation. The rotating shaft 170 and the valve outlet 801 are located at opposite ends of the valve core 8. The valve core 8 can rotate between a second angular position and a third angular position under the drive of the servo motor 17. The valve core 8 can rotate from the first angular position to the second angular position in the direction of rotation under the drive of the servo motor 17. The valve core 8 can rotate from the first angular position to the third angular position in the opposite direction of rotation under the drive of the servo motor 17. The servo motor 17 is located inside the head 12.

[0096] The housing 7 also includes a third air chamber 72, which is located on opposite sides of the valve core 8 along with the servo motor 17. The third air chamber 72 is located downstream of the valve duct 80, and the air inlet channel 30 connects to the third air chamber 72, which is connected between the valve duct 80 and the air inlet channel 30. When the valve core 8 is in the first angle position, under the suction of the at least one suction motor, air (air in the dust collection container 10 or air on the non-clean side 150 of the first filter section 60) can flow sequentially through the non-clean side 150 of the first filter section 60, the first filter section 60, the first air chamber 710, the first vent 701, the valve duct 80, the third air chamber 72, and the air inlet channel 30. When the valve core 8 is in the first angle position, under the suction of the at least one suction motor, air (air in the dust collection container 10 or air on the non-clean side 160 of the second filter section 61) can flow sequentially through the non-clean side 160 of the second filter section 61. 0. The second filter section 61, the second air chamber 711, the second vent 702, the valve duct 80, the third air chamber 72, and the air inlet channel 30; When the valve core 8 is in the second angle position, under the suction of the at least one suction motor, air (air in the dust collection container 10 or air in the non-clean side 160 of the second filter section 61) can flow sequentially through the non-clean side 160 of the second filter section 61, the second filter section 61, the second air chamber 711, the second vent 702, the valve duct 80, the third air chamber 72, and the air inlet channel 30; When the valve core 8 is in the third angle position, under the suction of the at least one suction motor, air (air in the dust collection container 10 or air in the non-clean side 150 of the first filter section 60) can flow sequentially through the non-clean side 150 of the first filter section 60, the first filter section 60, the first air chamber 710, the first vent 701, the valve duct 80, the third air chamber 72, and the air inlet channel 30. The air inlet 302 of the air inlet channel 30 is directly connected to the third air chamber 72, and the valve outlet 801 is directly connected to the third air chamber 72. The rotation axis of the valve core 8 is tilted downwards and backwards. The air inlet 302 of the air inlet channel 30 is located on the lower front side of the third air chamber 72, and the valve outlet 801 is located on the lower rear side of the third air chamber 72. The filter device 6 is tilted downwards and backwards.

[0097] The housing 7 includes a cylindrical portion 70, in which a valve core 8 is installed. The cylindrical portion 70 surrounds the rotation axis of the valve core 8, and the valve core 8 is coaxially arranged with the cylindrical portion 70. A backflush inlet 700 is an opening on the cylindrical portion 70, a first vent 701 is an opening on the cylindrical portion 70, and a second vent 702 is an opening on the cylindrical portion 70. The backflush inlet 700, the second vent 702, and the first vent 701 are distributed sequentially in the circumferential direction surrounding the valve core 8. The cylindrical portion 70 includes a separating band 703, which is located between the first vent 701 and the second vent 702, separating the first vent 701 and the second vent 702 in the circumferential direction of the cylindrical portion 70. The backflush inlet 700 and the separating band 703 are radially spaced opposite each other in the cylindrical portion 70. The first vent 701 and the second vent 702 are located on opposite radial sides of the backflow inlet 700.

[0098] The valve core 8 is inserted into the cylinder 70 from the end furthest from the air inlet channel 30 at opposite axial ends of the cylinder 70. The valve core 8 includes a first ring 81 and a second ring 82. The cylinder 70, the first ring 81, and the second ring 82 are coaxially arranged. The first ring 81 and the second ring 82 are located at opposite axial ends of the valve core 8 and are located inside the cylinder 70. The first ring 81 is located at one axial end of the cylinder 70, and the second ring 82 is located at the other axial end of the cylinder 70. The outer peripheral surfaces of the first ring 81 and the second ring 82 are in contact with the inner peripheral surface of the cylinder 70. When the valve core 8 rotates, the outer peripheral surfaces of the first ring 81 and the second ring 82 slide against the inner peripheral surface of the cylinder 70. The first ring 81 is adjacent to the servo motor 17, and the valve outlet 801 is formed by the second ring 82. The second ring 82 is closer to the air inlet channel 30 than the first ring 81.

[0099] The valve core 8 includes a first side 830 and a second side 840, which extend along the axial direction of the valve core 8. The first side 830 and the second side 840 are spaced apart in the circumferential direction of the valve core 8. The valve inlet 800 of the valve duct 80 is formed between the first side 830 and the second side 840. When the valve core 8 is in a first angle position, the first side 830 is located on the side of the first vent 701 away from the partition 703, and the second side 840 is located on the side of the second vent 702 away from the partition 703. As the valve core 8 rotates from the first angle position to the second angle position in the direction of rotation, the first side 830 rotates from the side of the first vent 701 away from the partition 703 to the partition 703, so that the first vent 701 and the backflow inlet 700 are no longer isolated by the valve core 8, thereby connecting the first vent 701 and the backflow inlet 700. Reversing the rotation direction from the first angle position to the third angle position, the second side 840 rotates from the side of the second vent 702 away from the separator 703 to the separator 703, so that the second vent 702 and the backflow inlet 700 are no longer isolated by the valve core 8, thus connecting the second vent 702 and the backflow inlet 700. This design is simple and effective, cleverly achieving air duct switching. When the valve core 8 is in the first angle position, the first side 830 and the second side 840 are located radially inside the cylinder 70. When the valve core 8 is in the second angle position, the first side 830 is located radially inside the separator 703. When the valve core 8 is in the second angle position, the second side 840 is located radially inside the cylinder 70. When the valve core 8 is in the third angle position, the second side 840 is located radially inside the separator 703. When the valve core 8 is in the third angle position, the first side 830 is located radially inside the cylinder 70.

[0100] More specifically, when the valve core 8 is in the first angular position, the first side 830 and the second side 840 are located radially inside the cylindrical portion 70 and abut against the cylindrical portion 70; when the valve core 8 is in the second angular position, the first side 830 is located radially inside the separating band 703 and abuts against the separating band 703; when the valve core 8 is in the second angular position, the second side 840 is located radially inside the cylindrical portion 70 and abuts against the cylindrical portion 70; when the valve core 8 is in the third angular position, the second side 840 is located radially inside the separating band 703 and abuts against the separating band 703; when the valve core 8 is in the third angular position, the first side 830 is located radially inside the cylindrical portion 70 and abuts against the cylindrical portion 70.

[0101] The valve core 8 includes a first baffle 83 and a second baffle 84, which are spaced apart and opposite to each other in the circumferential direction of the valve core 8. A first side 830 forms the outer side of the first baffle 83, and a second side 840 forms the outer side of the second baffle 84. When the valve core 8 is in a first angle position, the first baffle 83 blocks the flow between the first vent 701 and the backflow inlet 700; when the valve core 8 is in the first angle position, the second baffle 84 blocks the flow between the second vent 702 and the backflow inlet 700. Between the air inlets 700; as the valve core 8 rotates from the first angle position to the second angle position, the first baffle 83 rotates from the side of the first air inlet 701 away from the separator 703 to the separator 703, so that the first air inlet 701 and the backflow inlet 700 are not blocked by the first baffle 83, thus the first air inlet 701 and the backflow inlet 700 are connected; when the valve core 8 is in the second angle position, the second baffle 84 blocks the second air inlet 702 and the backflow inlet 700. As the valve core 8 rotates from the first angle position to the third angle position, the second baffle 84 rotates from the side of the second vent 702 away from the separator 703 to the separator 703, so that the second vent 702 and the backflow inlet 700 are no longer blocked by the second baffle 84, thus connecting the second vent 702 and the backflow inlet 700; when the valve core 8 is in the third angle position, the second baffle 84 blocks the second vent 702 and the backflow inlet 700; at the valve core 8 When the valve core 8 is in the first angular position, the first baffle 83 and the second baffle 84 are located radially inside the cylindrical portion 70; when the valve core 8 is in the second angular position, the first baffle 83 is located radially inside the separating band 703; when the valve core 8 is in the second angular position, the second baffle 84 is located radially inside the cylindrical portion 70; when the valve core 8 is in the third angular position, the second baffle 84 is located radially inside the separating band 703; when the valve core 8 is in the third angular position, the first baffle 83 is located radially inside the cylindrical portion 70. The first baffle 83 and the second baffle 84 are both straight strips, and the first baffle 83 and the second baffle 84 are both flat straight strips. The first side 830 and the second side 840 are parallel to the rotation axis of the valve core 8, respectively; the first baffle 83 and the second baffle 84 are parallel to the rotation axis of the valve core 8, respectively; the inner and outer sides of the first baffle 83 and the rotation axis of the valve core 8 are all located in the radial direction of the valve core 8, and the inner and outer sides of the second baffle 84 and the rotation axis of the valve core 8 are all located in the radial direction of the valve core 8.

[0102] More specifically, when the valve core 8 is in the first angular position, the first stop wall 83 and the second stop wall 84 are located radially inside the cylindrical portion 70 and abut against the cylindrical portion 70, which helps to inhibit air leakage between the first stop wall 83, the second stop wall 84 and the cylindrical portion 70; when the valve core 8 is in the second angular position, the first stop wall 83 is located radially inside the partition belt 703 and abuts against the partition belt 703, which helps to inhibit air leakage between the first stop wall 83 and the partition belt 703; when the valve core 8 is in the second angular position, the second stop wall 84 is located radially inside the cylindrical portion 70 and abuts against the cylindrical portion 70, which helps to inhibit air leakage between the second stop wall 84 and the cylindrical portion 70; when the valve core 8 is in the third angular position, the second stop wall 84 is located radially inside the partition belt 703 and abuts against the partition belt 703, which helps to inhibit air leakage between the second stop wall 84 and the partition belt 703; when the valve core 8 is in the third angular position, the first stop wall 83 is located radially inside the cylindrical portion 70 and abuts against the cylindrical portion 70, which helps to inhibit air leakage between the first stop wall 83 and the cylindrical portion 70.

The circumferential baffle 85 extends from the inner side 831 of the first baffle 83, around the rotation axis of the valve core 8, to the inner side 841 of the second baffle 84.

When the valve core 8 is in the third angle position, the gap between the portion of the cylinder wall of the cylinder 70 located between the second vent 702 and the backflow inlet 700, and between the circumferential baffle 85 and the second baffle 84, forms a second backflow duct 91 connecting the second vent 702 and the backflow inlet 700.

[0113] When the vacuum cleaner 1 is turned off, the valve core 8 will return to the first angle position, or when the vacuum cleaner 1 is started, the valve core 8 will return to the first angle position. During the operation of the vacuum cleaner 1, when the filter device 6 needs to be cleared of blockage, the blockage clearing button 18 is triggered, and the servo motor 17 starts working. Driven by the servo motor 17, the valve core 8 first rotates from the first angle position to the second angle position in the direction of rotation. The valve core 8 remains in the second angle position for a certain period of time (e.g., 2 seconds), thereby clearing the blockage of the first filter section 60 once. Then, driven by the servo motor 17, the valve core 8 rotates from the second angle position in the opposite direction of rotation. When the rotation direction is turned to the third angle position, the valve core 8 remains in the third angle position for a certain period of time (e.g., 2 seconds) to clear the blockage of the second filter section 61. Then, driven by the servo motor 17, the valve core 8 rotates from the third angle position to the second angle position in the same rotation direction to clear the blockage of the first filter section 60 again. The above-mentioned clearing of the blockage of the first filter section 60 and the second filter section 61 can be repeated multiple times. After the first filter section 60 and the second filter section 61 are cleaned, the valve core 83 returns to the first angle position, and the vacuum cleaner 1 resumes normal suction operation.
