Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of cleaning equipment technology, and in particular to a dust collection base station and cleaning system. Background Technology
[0002] With the popularization of intelligent cleaning equipment, dust collection base stations are widely used as supporting devices in home and commercial settings to automatically empty the dust collection containers of cleaning devices (such as vacuum cleaners, robot vacuums, etc.).
[0003] In related technologies, the bottom of the dust collection container has an openable and closable bottom cover. When the cleaning device returns to the dust collection base station, the bottom cover of the dust collection container is opened, so that the dust collection duct in the dust collection base station is connected to the dust collection container. In this way, when the dust collection base station generates dust suction force, the dust in the dust collection container is sent to the dust storage space inside the dust collection base station through the dust collection duct. After the dust collection is completed, the cleaning device is manually removed from the dust collection base station and the bottom cover is manually closed.
[0004] However, in related technologies, manually closing the bottom cover can lead to residual dust overflowing and causing secondary pollution, resulting in a poor user experience. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of the above problems, this application provides a dust collection base station and cleaning system that can automatically close the dust collection container without manual closing, thereby preventing the problem of residual dust overflowing from the wall and causing secondary pollution, and improving the user experience.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the embodiments of this application provide the following technical solutions:
[0007] The first aspect of this application provides a dust collection base station for performing dust collection operations on a cleaning device. The cleaning device has an openable and closable dust collection container. The dust collection base station includes a base station body and a cover assembly. The base station body has a dust collection air duct, which is configured to communicate with the dust collection container.
[0008] The cover closing assembly includes an inflation unit, a fixing member, and an actuating member. The fixing member is fixedly disposed on the base station body and has an air cavity. The actuating member is movably disposed within the air cavity. The inflation unit is configured to at least inflate or depress the air cavity to drive the actuating member to move along a first direction to close the dust collection container.
[0009] In the dust collection base station provided in this application embodiment, a closing assembly is provided. The closing assembly includes an inflation unit, a fixing member, and an actuating member. The fixing member is fixedly installed on the base station body and has an air cavity. The actuating member is movably installed in the air cavity. The inflation unit inflates or deflates the air cavity. In this way, the pressure of the gas entering the air cavity can drive the actuating member to move in a first direction to close the dust collection container, thereby achieving the purpose of closing the dust collection container without manual closing. This avoids the problem of residual dust overflowing and causing secondary pollution when manually closing, and improves the user experience.
[0010] In some embodiments, the inflation unit inflates and deflates the air chamber to give the inflation unit a first driving direction and a second driving direction, wherein the first driving direction and the second driving direction are opposite to each other, so as to change the on / off state of the dust collection container.
[0011] This configuration allows the actuator to move along the first driving direction and the second direction respectively through inflation and deflation, thereby changing the opening and closing state of the dust collection container, preventing dust leakage, and improving the user experience.
[0012] In some embodiments, the inflation unit includes an inflation pump and a de-inflation pump, the fixing member has an air inlet and a de-inflation port, the inflation pump is connected to the air chamber through the air inlet, and the de-inflation pump is connected to the air chamber through the de-inflation port;
[0013] When the air pump inflates the air chamber, it drives the actuating member to move in the first driving direction, and the actuating member directly contacts the dust collection container to close the dust collection container;
[0014] When the air pump draws air from the air chamber, it drives the actuating member to move in the second driving direction so that the actuating member disengages from the dust collection container.
[0015] With this configuration, when inflating, the actuator moves along the first direction to close the dust collection container, and when evacuating, the actuator moves in the opposite direction along the first direction to disengage from the dust collection container, so that the dust collection container can be opened, thereby improving the user experience.
[0016] In some embodiments, the cover assembly further includes a seal disposed between the actuating member and the cavity wall of the air chamber to seal the gap between the actuating member and the cavity wall of the air chamber.
[0017] This configuration improves the airtightness of the air chamber by adding a sealing element, preventing poor airtightness from affecting the reliability of the drive components' movement, thereby improving the reliability of changing the switching state of the dust collection container.
[0018] In some embodiments, the sealing element is a sealing ring, which is sleeved on the outer periphery of the actuating element.
[0019] This design results in a simple and low-cost sealing structure.
[0020] In some embodiments, the peripheral wall of the actuating member has a positioning groove, and the sealing member is located in the positioning groove.
[0021] This design improves the positional reliability of the seal, thereby enhancing the sealing reliability.
[0022] In some embodiments, the actuating member is a top block, the peripheral wall of the top block has at least two first limiting portions, the at least two first limiting portions are spaced apart along the circumferential direction of the top block, the fixing member has a second limiting portion at a position corresponding to each of the first limiting portions, the first limiting portions are configured to cooperate with the second limiting portions to limit the movement of the top block in the circumferential direction.
[0023] This setting limits the movement of the actuator, thereby improving the reliability of the actuator's movement stroke.
[0024] In some embodiments, the first limiting portion is one of a limiting protrusion and a limiting groove, and the second limiting portion is the other of a limiting protrusion and a limiting groove.
[0025] This design results in a simple, easy-to-implement, and low-cost limit structure.
[0026] In some embodiments, the base station body has a mounting hole extending along a first direction, the mounting hole communicating with the dust collection duct, and the actuating member movably passing through the mounting hole.
[0027] This design improves the positional stability of the actuator, thereby enhancing the reliability of the actuator in changing the dust collection container.
[0028] In some embodiments, the air pump and the air extraction pump are stacked on the base station body along the first direction; and / or,
[0029] The air inlet and the air outlet are spaced apart at one end of the fixing member away from the dust collection container.
[0030] This design can improve space utilization and structural compactness.
[0031] A second aspect of this application provides a cleaning system, including a cleaning device and a dust collection base station provided in the first aspect, wherein the cleaning device has an openable and closable dust collection container.
[0032] The cleaning system provided in this application embodiment has the same beneficial effects as the dust collection base station described above, and will not be repeated here.

[0062] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.
[0063] With the popularization of smart cleaning equipment, dust collection base stations are widely used as supporting devices in home and commercial settings to automatically empty the dust collection containers (such as dust cups) of cleaning devices (such as vacuum cleaners and robot vacuums), eliminating the need for manual cleaning of the dust stored in the dust cups.
[0064] In some embodiments, the bottom of the dust collection container has an openable and closable cover. When the cleaning device (e.g., a handheld vacuum cleaner) returns to the dust collection base station, the bottom cover of the dust collection container opens, allowing the dust collection duct in the dust collection base station to connect with the dust collection container. Thus, when the dust collection base station generates suction, the dust in the dust collection container flows through the dust collection duct to the dust storage space inside the dust collection base station. After dust collection is complete, the cleaning device is manually removed from the dust collection base station, and the bottom cover is manually closed. However, manually closing the bottom cover can lead to residual dust overflowing and causing secondary pollution, resulting in a poor user experience.
[0065] In view of the above problems, this application provides a dust collection base station and cleaning system. By setting a cover closing component in the dust collection base station, the bottom cover of the dust collection container is automatically closed by the cover closing component after the dust in the dust collection container is cleaned, without the need for manual closing. This avoids the problem of residual dust overflowing and causing secondary pollution when manually closing, and improves the user experience.
[0066] The contents of this application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, so that those skilled in the art can have a clearer and more detailed understanding of the contents of this application.
[0067] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, this application embodiment provides a cleaning system 10, which includes a dust collection base station 100 and a cleaning device 200. The cleaning device 200 includes, but is not limited to, a handheld vacuum cleaner and has an openable / closable dust collection container 210, such as a dust cup for collecting and storing dust. The bottom of the dust collection container 210 has an openable / closable bottom cover 211. The dust collection base station 100 includes a base station body 110, and the base station body 110 has a dust collection air duct 111 inside. The main body 110 also has a negative pressure device and a dust storage bag. The dust storage bag is connected to the integrated air duct. When the cleaning device 200 returns to the dust collection base station 100, the bottom cover 211 of the dust collection container 210 is opened so that the dust collection container 210 is connected to the dust collection air duct 111 inside the dust collection base station 100. In this way, when the negative pressure device generates negative pressure, the dust in the dust collection container 210 can be sucked into the dust storage bag through the dust collection air duct 111. Thus, there is no need to manually clean the dust in the dust collection container 210.
[0068] For example, the bottom cover 211 may be provided with a first buckle, and the dust collection container 210 may have a second buckle that matches the buckle on the bottom cover 211. In this way, when the bottom cover 211 is in the closed state, the first buckle and the second buckle are engaged, and when the bottom cover 211 is in the open state, the first buckle and the second buckle are disengaged. The disengagement of the first buckle and the second buckle may be achieved by means of a mechanical button.
[0069] The first and second latches can be elastic latches. When the bottom cover 211 is pushed to the closed state, the first and second latches will automatically engage. When the engagement is released, at least one of the first and second latches can be moved relative to each other by means of mechanical buttons, etc., to release the engagement.
[0070] The main purpose of this application embodiment is to solve the problem of how the bottom cover 211 automatically resets after the dust in the dust collection container 210 is cleaned.
[0071] Specifically, after cleaning the dust in the dust collection container 210, it is usually necessary to remove the cleaning device 200 from the dust collection base station 100 and then manually close the bottom cover 211 to engage the first and second latches. However, when manually closing the cleaning device 200, residual dust may overflow, causing secondary pollution. To avoid manually closing the bottom cover 211 of the dust collection container 210 and thus preventing secondary pollution from residual dust, please refer to... Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown in this embodiment, the dust collection base station 100 is further provided with a cover closing assembly 120. The cover closing assembly 120 includes an inflation unit 121, a fixing member 122, and an actuating member 123. The fixing member 122 is fixedly disposed on the base station body 110. For example, the fixing member 122 is fixedly disposed on the base station body 110 by screws or the like, and the fixing member 122 has an air cavity 1221. The actuating member 123 is movably disposed in the air cavity 1221. The inflation unit 121 is configured to at least inflate or depress air into the air cavity 1221 to drive the actuating member 123 to move along a first direction so that the first buckle on the bottom cover 211 engages with the second buckle on the dust collection container 210, thereby achieving the purpose of closing the dust collection container 210.
[0072] An example, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, when the cleaning device 200 returns to the dust collection base station 100, the bottom cover 211 of the integrated container opens, and the dust collection container 210 connects with the dust collection duct 111. The negative pressure device inside the dust collection base station 100 generates negative pressure to suck up the dust, so that all the dust in the dust collection container 210 is sucked through the integrated duct into, for example, a dust storage bag in the dust collection base station 100. When the dust in the dust collection container 210 has been cleaned, the inflation unit 121 inflates the air chamber 1221 of the fixing member 122 to... The pneumatic drive component 123, which enters the air chamber 1221, moves in the first direction toward one end of the bottom cover 211 of the dust collection container 210, thereby switching the bottom cover 211 from the open state to the closed state, thus achieving the purpose of closing the dust collection container 210 without the need for manual closing of the bottom cover 211. This avoids the problem of residual dust easily overflowing and causing secondary pollution when the cleaning device 200 is removed from the base station and the bottom cover 211 is manually closed, thereby improving the user experience.
[0073] In another example, when the dust in the dust collection container 210 has been cleaned, the inflation unit 121 draws air outward from the air chamber 1221 toward the end near the bottom cover 211. In this way, the actuating member 123 moves toward the end of the bottom cover 211 of the dust collection container 210 along the first direction under the action of suction force, thereby switching the bottom cover 211 from the open state to the closed state, thereby achieving the purpose of closing the dust collection container 210.
[0074] Among them, the first direction is as follows Figure 2 and Figure 4 In the vertical direction, the actuator 123 moves upward in the vertical direction under the action force to push the bottom cover 211 to the closed state, or moves downward under the reaction force to contact and disengage from the bottom cover 211, so as to avoid interference between the bottom cover 211 and the actuator 123 when the bottom cover 211 is opened.
[0075] The action element 123 includes, but is not limited to, a top block. The cross-section of the top block can be any shape, such as circular, square, or elliptical, as long as it can apply a force to the bottom cover 211 to close the bottom cover 211 when it moves along the first direction toward one end of the bottom cover 211. There are no restrictions on this.
[0076] The fixing member 122 can be a cylindrical structure. The shape of the cross-sectional profile of the air cavity 1221 in the fixing member 122 can match the profile shape of the actuating member 123. The fixing member 122 has an air cavity 1221 extending along the first direction, and the actuating member 123 is movably disposed in the air cavity 1221.
[0077] Therefore, in the dust collection base station 100 provided in this application embodiment, by setting a cover closing component 120, the cover closing component 120 includes an inflation unit 121, a fixing member 122, and an action member 123. The fixing member 122 is fixedly set in the base station body 110 and has an air cavity 1221. The action member 123 is movably set in the air cavity 1221. The inflation unit 121 inflates or evacuates air into the air cavity 1221. In this way, the pressure of the gas entering the air cavity 1221 can drive the action member 123 to move in the first direction to close the dust collection container 210, thereby achieving the purpose of closing the dust collection container 210 without manual closing. This avoids the problem of residual dust overflowing and causing secondary pollution when manually closing, and improves the user experience.
[0078] In some embodiments, the inflation unit 121 inflates and deflates the air chamber 1221 to give the inflation unit 121 a first driving direction and a second driving direction, which are opposite to each other, so as to change the on / off state of the dust collection container 210.
[0079] In other words, the inflation unit 121 can both inflate and depress the air chamber 1221. For example, the inflation unit 121 can inflate the air chamber 1221 to apply a driving force in the first driving direction to the actuator 123, causing the actuator 123 to move along the first driving direction. For example, the actuator 123 can rise vertically to push the bottom cover 211 to close. When depressing the air chamber 1221, a driving force in the second driving direction can be applied to the actuator 123 to make the actuator 123 move along the second driving direction. The first driving direction and the second driving direction are opposite, for example, the actuator 123 can fall vertically to disengage the actuator 123 from the bottom cover 211, thereby changing the opening and closing state of the dust collection container 210, preventing dust leakage, and improving the user experience.
[0080] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 , Figures 8 to 12As shown, in some embodiments, the inflation unit 121 includes an inflation pump 1211 and an exhaust pump 1212. The fixing member 122 has an air inlet 1222 and an exhaust port 1223. The inflation pump 1211 is connected to the air chamber 1221 through the air inlet 1222, and the exhaust pump 1212 is connected to the air chamber 1221 through the exhaust port 1223. When the inflation pump 1211 inflates the air chamber 1221, it drives the actuator 123 to move in a first driving direction. The actuator 123 is directly connected to the dust collection container 210. The dust collection container 210 is closed by touching the air chamber 1221. When the air pump 1212 draws air from the air chamber 1221, it drives the actuator 123 to move in the second driving direction so that the actuator 123 is disengaged from the dust collection container 210. Thus, when the air is filled, the actuator 123 moves in the first direction to close the dust collection container 210, and when the air is drawn, the actuator 123 moves in the opposite direction along the first direction so that the actuator 123 is disengaged from the dust collection container 210, so that the dust collection container 210 can be opened, thereby improving the user experience.
[0081] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 , Figures 8 to 12 As shown, the air pump 1211 and the air pump 1212 are stacked on the base station body 110 along the first direction, which can improve the compactness of the structure and reduce the overall volume of the dust collection base station 100.
[0082] Additionally, the inflation unit 121 also includes a mounting bracket 127, which is used to fix the inflation pump 1211 and the de-inflation pump 1212 to the base station body 110, for example, as shown in the example. Figure 7 As shown, the mounting bracket 127 has a mounting post 128, and the base station body 110 has a screw post 113. Thus, when the air pump 1211 and the air pump 1212 are stacked on the base station body 110 along the first direction, the mounting bracket 127 covers the air pump 1211 and the air pump 1212, and is fixedly connected to the screw post 113 through the mounting post 128, thereby fixing the air pump 1211 and the air pump 1212.
[0083] The fixing member 122 has an air inlet 1222 and an air outlet 1223 that are respectively connected to the air chamber 1221. The dust collection base station 100 also includes an air filling pipe 124 and an air extraction pipe 125. In this way, the air filling pump 1211 is connected to the air inlet 1222 through the air filling pipe 124 to fill the air chamber 1221 with air, while the air extraction pump 1212 is connected to the air extraction outlet 1223 through the air extraction pipe 125 to extract the gas from the air chamber 1221.
[0084] Please refer to Figure 10 , Figure 14 and Figure 15As shown, the air inlet 1222 and the air outlet 1223 are spaced apart at one end of the fixing member 122 away from the dust collection container 210. For example, the air inlet 1222 and the air outlet 1223 are located at the bottom end of the fixing member 122. In this way, filling the air chamber 1221 with air can drive the actuating member 123 to rise and close the bottom cover 211, while drawing air can cause the actuating member 123 to move downward so that the actuating member 123 is disengaged from the bottom cover 211 and avoids the movement of the bottom cover 211.
[0085] Please refer to Figures 9 to 12 , Figure 15 As shown, the cover closing assembly 120 also includes a sealing element 126, which is disposed between the actuating element 123 and the cavity wall of the air chamber 1221 to seal the gap between the actuating element 123 and the cavity wall of the air chamber 1221. It can be understood that by setting the sealing element 126, the sealing performance of the air chamber 1221 is improved, and the poor sealing performance of the air chamber 1221 is avoided from affecting the movement reliability of the driving actuating element 123, thereby improving the reliability of changing the opening and closing state of the dust collection container 210.
[0086] For example, such as Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the sealing element 126 includes, but is not limited to, a sealing ring, which is sleeved on the outer periphery of the actuating element 123. In this way, while improving the sealing performance of the air cavity 1221, the sealing structure is simple and the cost is low.
[0087] Please continue to refer to Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the peripheral wall of the actuating member 123 has a positioning groove 1231, and the sealing member 126 is located in the positioning groove 1231. This improves the positional reliability of the sealing member 126, thereby improving the sealing reliability.
[0088] It should be noted that the positioning groove 1231 can match the cross-sectional shape of the seal 126 to improve the positioning reliability of the seal 126 in the positioning groove 1231, thereby improving the sealing reliability.
[0089] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 10 As shown, the actuating member 123 is, for example, a top block. The peripheral wall of the top block has at least two first limiting portions 1232. The at least two first limiting portions 1232 are spaced apart along the circumferential direction of the top block. The fixing member 122 has a second limiting portion 1224 at a position corresponding to each of the first limiting portions 1232. The first limiting portions 1232 are configured to cooperate with the second limiting portions 1224 to limit the movement of the top block in the circumferential direction, thereby improving the reliability of the movement stroke of the actuating member 123 and thus improving the reliability of the actuating member 123 in closing the dust collection container 210.
[0090] For example, the first limiting part 1232 is one of the limiting protrusion and the limiting groove, and the second limiting part 1224 is the other of the limiting protrusion and the limiting groove. The limiting structure is simple, easy to implement, and low in cost.
[0091] For example, in Figure 10 and Figure 13 In the design, the first limiting part 1232 is a limiting protrusion, and the second limiting part 1224 is a limiting groove. There are multiple first limiting parts 1232 and second limiting parts 1224. The multiple first limiting parts 1232 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the top block, and one first limiting part 1232 is correspondingly provided with one second limiting part 1224. In this way, when the actuating member 123 is disposed in the air cavity 1221, the first limiting part 1232 and the corresponding second limiting part 1224 cooperate with each other to limit the circumferential movement of the actuating member 123, so that the actuating member 123 can only move up and down in the first direction, thereby improving the reliability of the actuating member 123 in changing the opening and closing state of the dust collection container 210.
[0092] Additionally, please refer to Figure 9 and Figure 11 , Figure 12 As shown, the base station body 110 has a mounting hole 112 extending along a first direction. The mounting hole 112 is connected to the dust collection duct 111. The actuating member 123 is movably inserted into the mounting hole 112. In this way, the movement of the actuating member 123 can be further guided, limited and positioned through the mounting hole 112, thereby improving the positional stability of the actuating member 123 and thus improving the reliability of the actuating member 123 in changing the dust collection container 210.
[0093] In the dust collection base station and cleaning system provided in this application embodiment, a cover closing component is set up. The cover closing component includes an inflation unit, a fixing member, and an actuating member. The fixing member is fixedly set in the base station body and has an air cavity. The actuating member is movably set in the air cavity. The inflation unit inflates or evacuates air into the air cavity. In this way, the pressure of the gas entering the air cavity can drive the actuating member to move in a first direction to close the dust collection container, thereby achieving the purpose of closing the dust collection container without manual closing. This avoids the problem of residual dust overflowing and causing secondary pollution when manually closing, and improves the user experience.
[0094] It should be noted that the terms "one embodiment," "embodiment," "exemplary embodiment," "some embodiments," etc., mentioned in the specification indicate that the described embodiment may include a specific feature, structure, or characteristic, but not every embodiment necessarily includes that specific feature, structure, or characteristic. Furthermore, such phrases do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment. Moreover, when a specific feature, structure, or characteristic is described in connection with an embodiment, implementing such a feature, structure, or characteristic in conjunction with other embodiments, whether explicitly described or not, is within the knowledge scope of those skilled in the art.
[0095] Generally speaking, terms should be understood at least in part by their use in context. For example, at least in part by context, the term "one or more" as used in the text can be used to describe any feature, structure, or characteristic of the singular meaning, or a combination of features, structures, or characteristics of the plural meaning. Similarly, at least in part by context, terms such as "a" or "the" can also be understood to convey either singular or plural usage.
[0096] It should be readily understood that the terms “on,” “above,” and “on top of” in this application should be interpreted in the broadest possible sense, such that “on” means not only “directly on something” but also “on something” with an intermediate feature or layer therebetween, and that “above” or “on top of” means not only “on top of something” but also “on top of something” without an intermediate feature or layer therebetween (i.e., directly on something).
[0097] Furthermore, for ease of explanation, spatially relative terms such as "below," "below," "under," "above," and "above" may be used to describe the relationship of one element or feature relative to other elements or features as shown in the figures. Spatially relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations of the device in use or operation other than those shown in the figures. The device may have other orientations (rotated 90° or in other orientations), and the spatially relative descriptive terms used herein may be interpreted accordingly.
[0098] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and are not intended to limit them. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application.
