Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vacuum cleaner technology, and more specifically, to a base station charging structure and a vacuum cleaner. Background Technology

[0002] Some existing vacuum cleaners include a rechargeable vacuum cleaner body and a base station with functions such as charging and dust collection. When using them, the vacuum cleaner body is removed from the base station for cleaning. When charging is needed, the vacuum cleaner body can be installed on the base station for charging. During charging, the charging electrodes of the vacuum cleaner body and the charging electrodes of the base station are in contact and conduct electricity.

[0003] However, in some existing vacuum cleaners, the charging electrodes of the vacuum cleaner body are electrode plates set on the vacuum cleaner body, while the charging electrodes of the base station are protruding electrode probes. During the process of installing the vacuum cleaner body onto the base station, the electrode probes are prone to scratching the surface of the vacuum cleaner body's outer shell, resulting in the problem of the electrode probes scratching the outer shell of the vacuum cleaner body. In addition, in some existing vacuum cleaners, the electrode plates of the vacuum cleaner body are glued to the outer shell of the vacuum cleaner body. The bonding process is relatively complicated, the production cost is high, and the glued electrode plates are prone to falling off, resulting in failure to charge properly. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address at least one of the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides a base station charging structure suitable for installation on a vacuum cleaner. The base station charging structure includes a vacuum cleaner body and a base station. A first electrode is disposed on the vacuum cleaner body, and a second electrode corresponding to the first electrode is disposed on the base station. The second electrode protrudes outwards towards the side of the first electrode. A slope is provided on the vacuum cleaner body, and the first electrode is disposed on the slope. A clearance space is formed on the side of the slope near the second electrode to allow for avoidance of the second electrode. During charging, the first electrode and the second electrode are in contact and conduct electricity. This utility model's base station charging structure is simple in structure and has low production cost. The slope on the vacuum cleaner body creates a clearance space on the side near the second electrode, allowing the second electrode to be avoided during assembly of the vacuum cleaner body and the base station, preventing the second electrode from scratching the vacuum cleaner body. The first electrode is securely connected to the base station, preventing it from easily detaching and ensuring reliable use.

[0005] Optionally, the first electrode is an electrode sheet, and the second electrode is an electrode probe.

[0006] Optionally, a conductive contact surface is provided on the side of the first electrode near the second electrode, and the conductive contact surface is inclined; during charging, the second electrode contacts the conductive contact surface to conduct electricity.

[0007] Optionally, the second electrode is a spring-loaded electrode probe, and the second electrode is provided with an elastically retractable electrode post. The base station is provided with a mounting bracket for installing the second electrode. The electrode post protrudes beyond the mounting bracket by a height L in its normal state. The vacuum cleaner body is detachably inserted into the base station from top to bottom. The conductive contact surface has a lower edge, and the distance M between the lower edge and the mounting bracket is greater than or equal to the protrusion height L.

[0008] Optionally, the conductive contact surface is flush with or nearly flush with the inclined surface.

[0009] Optionally, the inclined surface is a first arc-shaped inclined surface, and the conductive contact surface is a second arc-shaped inclined surface.

[0010] Optionally, the first electrode is made of metal, and the vacuum cleaner body is provided with a housing for fixing the first electrode. The housing is made of plastic, and the housing and the first electrode are fixed by a metal insert injection molding process.

[0011] Optionally, the first electrode is provided with a first limiting block, and the housing is provided with a first limiting groove corresponding to the first limiting block.

[0012] Optionally, the housing is provided with a second limiting block, and the first electrode is provided with a second limiting groove corresponding to the second limiting block.

[0013] Compared to existing technologies, the base station charging structure of this utility model is simple in structure and has low production cost. The vacuum cleaner body has an inclined surface to create a clearance space on the side of the inclined surface near the second electrode. This clearance space allows the second electrode to avoid scratching the vacuum cleaner body during assembly with the base station. The first electrode is firmly connected to the base station, preventing it from easily falling off and ensuring reliable use. The shell and the first electrode are fixed using a metal insert injection molding process, resulting in low manufacturing cost and eliminating the need for manual glue application. The first electrode has a first limiting block, the shell has a first limiting groove, the shell has a second limiting block, and the first electrode has a second limiting groove, making the first electrode more securely fixed, less prone to displacement or falling off, and ensuring more stable and reliable charging.

[0014] In addition, this utility model also provides a vacuum cleaner, which includes the above-mentioned base station charging structure. This vacuum cleaner also has the same beneficial effects as the above-mentioned base station charging structure, which will not be described in detail here. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0025] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "upper" and "lower" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship when the product is in normal use.

[0027] The terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature.

[0028] See Figures 1-9This utility model provides a base station charging structure suitable for installation on a vacuum cleaner. The base station charging structure includes a vacuum cleaner body 1 and a base station 2. A first electrode 3 is provided on the vacuum cleaner body 1, and a second electrode 4 corresponding to the first electrode 3 is provided on the base station 2. The second electrode 4 protrudes outward toward the side facing the first electrode 3. A slope 101 is provided on the vacuum cleaner body 1, and the first electrode 3 is disposed on the slope 101. A clearance space 102 for avoiding the second electrode 4 is formed on the side of the slope 101 near the second electrode 4. During charging, the vacuum cleaner body 1 is first installed onto the base station 2. During the installation process, through... The clearance space 102 avoids the second electrode 4, preventing the second electrode 4 from scratching the housing 103 of the vacuum cleaner body 1. After the vacuum cleaner body 1 and the base station 2 are installed in place, the first electrode 3 and the second electrode 4 make contact and conduct electricity. The base station charging structure of this utility model has a simple structure and low production cost. The vacuum cleaner body is provided with a slope to form a clearance space on the side of the slope near the second electrode, so that when the vacuum cleaner body and the base station are assembled, the second electrode is avoided by the clearance space, preventing the second electrode from scratching the vacuum cleaner body. The first electrode is firmly connected to the base station, and the first electrode is not easy to fall off, making it reliable in use.

[0029] See Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 9 The first electrode 3 is an electrode sheet, and the second electrode 4 is an electrode probe. The structure is simple and the production cost is low. A conductive contact surface 301 is provided on the side of the first electrode 3 closest to the second electrode 4. The conductive contact surface 301 is inclined to facilitate contact between the conductive contact surface 301 and the second electrode 4 for conduction after the vacuum cleaner body 1 and the base station 2 are installed. During charging, the second electrode 4 contacts the conductive contact surface 301 for conduction. The second electrode 4 is a spring-loaded electrode probe, equipped with an elastically extendable electrode post 401. The base station 2 is provided with mounting points for the second electrode. The mounting bracket 21 of the vacuum cleaner 4 has an electrode post 401 that protrudes beyond the mounting bracket 21 by a height L under normal conditions. The vacuum cleaner body 1 is detachably inserted into the base station 2 from top to bottom. The conductive contact surface 301 has a lower edge 302. The distance M between the lower edge 302 and the mounting bracket 21 is greater than or equal to the protrusion height L. In this embodiment, the distance M is greater than the protrusion height L. This ensures that the second electrode 4 will not touch or scratch the housing 103 of the vacuum cleaner body 1 during the process of inserting the vacuum cleaner body 1 into the base station 2. During charging, the electrode post 401 retracts and abuts against the first electrode 3 to conduct electricity.

[0030] See Figure 3 and Figure 6The conductive contact surface 301 is flush with or nearly flush with the inclined surface 101, making the structure flatter and more aesthetically pleasing, and preventing the conductive contact surface 301 from protruding too much from the inclined surface 101 and being easily damaged by bumps; the inclined surface 101 is a first arc-shaped inclined surface, and the conductive contact surface 301 is a second arc-shaped inclined surface. The curved parts of the product will not produce sharp corners, making it softer and more aesthetically pleasing when in contact with the human body.

[0031] See Figure 3 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 The first electrode 3 is made of metal, and the vacuum cleaner body 1 is provided with a housing 103 for fixing the first electrode 3. The housing 103 is made of plastic. The housing 103 and the first electrode 3 are fixed by metal insert injection molding process, which has low manufacturing cost and does not require manual glue fixation. The first electrode 3 is provided with a first limiting block 31, and the housing 103 is provided with a first limiting groove 1031 corresponding to the first limiting block 31. The housing 103 is provided with a second limiting block 1032, and the first electrode 3 is provided with a second limiting groove 32 corresponding to the second limiting block 1032. The first limiting block 31 falls into the first limiting groove 1031 for limitation, and the second limiting block 1032 falls into the second limiting groove 32 for limitation. This makes the first electrode 3 more securely fixed, less prone to displacement or falling off, and makes charging more stable and reliable.

[0032] The base station charging structure of this utility model is simple in structure and low in production cost. A slope is provided on the vacuum cleaner body to create a clearance space on the side of the slope near the second electrode. This clearance space allows the second electrode to avoid scratching the vacuum cleaner body during assembly with the base station. The first electrode is firmly connected to the base station, preventing it from easily falling off and ensuring reliable use. The shell and the first electrode are fixed using a metal insert injection molding process, resulting in low manufacturing cost and eliminating the need for manual glue application. The first electrode is provided with a first limiting block, the shell with a first limiting groove, and the shell with a second limiting block. The first electrode is also provided with a second limiting groove, making the first electrode more securely fixed, less prone to displacement or falling off, and ensuring more stable and reliable charging.

[0033] In addition, this utility model also provides a vacuum cleaner, which includes the above-mentioned base station charging structure. This vacuum cleaner also has the same beneficial effects as the above-mentioned base station charging structure, which will not be described in detail here.
