Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cleaning equipment technology, and in particular to a dust collection base station for a portable vacuum cleaner to dock and for performing operations such as dust removal and charging on it. Background Technology

[0002] Cordless portable vacuum cleaners are widely used as common cleaning devices. With the increasing cleaning needs of modern households, dust collection base stations equipped with automatic charging and dustbin emptying functions have become an important component of cordless vacuum cleaner systems. Traditional dust collection base stations mainly serve functions such as device storage, power replenishment, and dustbin emptying, with designs focusing on functional integration and ease of operation. In recent years, driven by the miniaturization and compactness trends in consumer electronics, the structural design of dust collection base stations has shown significant compactness, with key technological approaches including reducing base size and adopting a vertically stacked modular layout. These improvements effectively reduce the product's footprint, improve home space utilization, and meet the aesthetic demands of modern urban families for "invisible" home appliances.

[0003] However, existing miniaturized base station designs face significant technical bottlenecks in terms of mechanical stability. Specifically, the compact design leads to an unbalanced center of gravity; increased dynamic disturbances during docking; and mass distribution issues arising from the miniaturization of internal components. Furthermore, the probability of the system tipping over increases when users perform rapid plug-and-play operations. This could not only cause structural damage to the equipment but also pose a safety hazard of injuring children or pets. However, simply increasing the base station's base area to improve stability inevitably leads to packaging efficiency issues. Firstly, the non-standardized dimensions require dedicated mounting slots, significantly reducing the versatility of packaging design. Secondly, irregular geometry results in ineffective gaps during transport and stacking, significantly reducing the space utilization of the packaging. Therefore, how to improve the base station's anti-tipping capability while maintaining its compact advantages has become a pressing technical challenge in this field. Utility Model Content

[0030] When the auxiliary support wall portion 2122 is in the supported position, it extends laterally outward relative to the peripheral side wall 211 and can be supported on a plane together with the main support wall portion 2121. When the auxiliary support wall portion 2122 is in the unsupported position, it separates from the main support wall portion 2121 and can be stored or supported in any suitable location.

[0031] Figures 3-7 This is a schematic example of a base wall. The auxiliary support wall 2122 and the main support wall 2121 in the base wall 212 are two independent wall panels that can be joined together or separated. The main support wall 2121 is a non-removable wall relative to the peripheral wall 211, while the auxiliary support wall 2122 is a removable wall.
