Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of cleaning equipment with dust collection base station, and specifically to a dual-mode dust collection station. Background Technology
[0002] Higher-end cleaning equipment on the market is usually equipped with a dust collection base station. After the two are connected, the base station automatically collects the dust inside the cleaning equipment, saving the trouble of manual cleaning after each use. The dust bag inside the base station can be replaced at regular intervals. The base station is usually also equipped with a charging module, which can be placed on the base station for automatic charging when the equipment is not in use. Currently, most base stations are placed on the ground. For example, base stations adapted to handheld cleaning equipment are very long because extension tubes and floor brushes are installed on the machine body. The base station needs to be designed to be very tall to match it. Therefore, this type of base station is generally large in size, resulting in higher packaging and logistics costs. At the same time, the base station takes up space and makes cleaning inconvenient. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a dual-mode dust collection station to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0005] A dual-mode dust collection station includes a dust collection station with a suction port on top and a dust collection chamber inside. The suction port communicates with the dust collection chamber. It also includes a bucket and a connecting pipe. The bucket is detachably connected to the suction port to support a vacuum cleaner and guide dust. The connecting pipe is detachably connected between the bucket and the suction port. Thus, the dust collection station can be selectively configured as a wall-mounted mode or a floor-standing mode. In wall-mounted mode, the dust collection station is hung on a wall surface via a connector, and the bucket is directly connected to the suction port. In floor-standing mode, the dust collection station is placed on the floor, and the bucket is connected to the suction port via the connecting pipe.
[0006] Furthermore, the vacuum cleaner includes a body, which has a handle and a dust cup. The dust cup is located on the side away from the handle and is vertically inserted into the frame. The end of the dust cup has an openable cup lid. An air inlet channel is formed along the axial direction below the dust cup. The air inlet channel is connected to a telescopic tube and a floor brush in sequence from top to bottom.
[0007] Furthermore, in both the wall-mounted and floor-standing modes, the floor brush does not come into contact with the ground.
[0008] Furthermore, one side of the cup lid is hinged to the dust cup, and the other side is hooked onto the dust cup. The bucket frame is equipped with a drive block corresponding to the hook. When the dust cup is connected to the bucket frame, the drive block drives the hook to open the cup lid.
[0009] Furthermore, conductive springs are symmetrically arranged on the inner side of the bucket frame, and conductive contact pieces are correspondingly provided on the main body.
[0010] Furthermore, the dust collection station includes a box and a cover plate, the cover plate being rotatably snapped into the bottom of the box and the top being fixed by magnetic adsorption.
[0011] Furthermore, the bottom of the dust collection station is rotatably connected to a pair of support legs. In the ground-mounted mode, the support legs can be rotated outwards to provide auxiliary support for the dust collection station.
[0012] This utility model allows for selective connection between the dust collection station and the frame and connecting pipe, enabling the dust collection station to be set to either wall-mounted or floor-standing mode. The dual-mode design allows users to choose the installation mode independently, and the installation and use are simple and convenient. In addition, the lightweight design of the dust collection station saves packaging costs, making the product more competitive. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0022] like Figure 1-8 The illustrated dual-mode dust collection station includes a dust collection station 1, which comprises a housing 11 and a cover plate 12 covering the housing 11. A suction port 111 is located at the top of the housing 11, serving as a dust inlet for connecting to a vacuum cleaner 4. A dust collection chamber 112 is formed inside the housing 11, and the suction port 111 communicates with the dust collection chamber 112 to collect the introduced dust. To enable different usage modes, a bucket 2 and a connecting pipe 3 are also included. The bucket 2 is detachably connected to the suction port 111 to support the vacuum cleaner 4 and guide dust. The connecting pipe 3 is detachably connected between the bucket 2 and the suction port 111. In this embodiment, the bucket 2 and the suction port 111 are connected in a detachable manner. The dust inlet 111, connecting pipe 3, bucket frame 2, and suction inlet 111 all adopt conventional snap-fit and release structures, ensuring stable interconnection while facilitating easy assembly and disassembly. Conventional snap-fit and release structures are well-known in the field and will not be elaborated upon here. In this embodiment, the vacuum cleaner 4 is a handheld vacuum cleaner, including a body 41. The body 41 has a handle 411 and a dust cup 42. The dust cup 42 is located on the side away from the handle 411 and is vertically inserted into the bucket frame 2. The end of the dust cup 42 has an openable lid 421. After the lid 421 is opened, the dust in the dust cup 42 enters the dust collection chamber 112 through the bucket frame 2. An air inlet is formed axially below the dust cup 42. The air inlet duct 43 is connected to the dust cup 42, and is connected from top to bottom to a telescopic tube 44 and a floor brush 45. During cleaning, dust enters the dust cup 42 through the floor brush 45 for collection. The vacuum cleaner 4, with all accessories connected, is obviously quite long. Therefore, through the selective assembly of the bucket 2 and connecting tube 3, the dust collection station 1 can be set to either wall-mounted or floor-standing mode. In wall-mounted mode, the dust collection station 1 is hung on the wall surface via a connector (not shown), which is a hook, bracket, etc., fixed to the wall. Since the wall-mounted dust collection station 1 allows for sufficient clearance from the ground, the bucket 2 can also be directly connected to the suction port 111. This ensures that the vacuum cleaner 4 does not come into contact with the ground. In floor mode, the dust collection station 1 is placed on the ground, and the bucket 2 is connected to the suction port 111 via the connecting pipe 3, which can compensate for the height mismatch between the dust collection station 1 and the vacuum cleaner 4, so that the vacuum cleaner 4 can remain stable and upright after being placed, avoiding the hassle of removing the telescopic pipe 44 and the floor brush 45. Preferably, in both wall-mounted and floor-mounted modes, the floor brush 45 does not come into contact with the ground. Since the connecting pipe 3 can be installed on the dust collection station 1, the dust collection station 1 does not need to be too large, so as to facilitate transportation and wall mounting. In this embodiment, the dust collection station 1 is set in a box shape to ensure that it fits the wall when mounted on the wall and is stable when placed on the ground.
[0023] Furthermore, the bucket frame 2 is configured in a funnel shape to ensure the stability of the dust cup 42 and the rapid introduction of dust. In this embodiment, after the dust cup 42 is connected to the bucket frame 2, the cup cover 421 is driven to rotate and open inside the bucket frame 2. Specifically, one side of the cup cover 421 is hinged to the dust cup 42, and the other side is hooked onto the dust cup 42 by a hook 422. The bucket frame 2 is provided with a driving block 21 facing the hook 422. When the dust cup 42 is placed in, the driving block 21 pushes up the hook 422, causing the hook end of the cup cover 421 to quickly disengage from the hook 422. The cup cover 421 rotates and opens towards the hinge end, and the dust in the dust cup 42 enters the dust collection chamber 112 through the bucket frame 2. A replaceable dust bag (not shown) and a vacuum motor (not shown) that provides negative pressure in the dust collection chamber 112 are installed in the dust collection chamber 112. Under the action of negative pressure in the dust collection chamber 112, the dust in the dust cup 42 can be quickly recycled into the dust bag.
[0024] Furthermore, the dust collection station 1 can be powered by an external power source via a power adapter (not shown). The bucket 2 is connected to the suction port 111 to form a conductive connection. To facilitate charging of the vacuum cleaner 4 after docking with the bucket 2, conductive springs 22 are symmetrically arranged on the inner side of the bucket 2, and the body 41 is correspondingly provided with conductive contact pieces 412. The conductive springs 22 and conductive contact pieces 412 are respectively set as positive and negative poles and form a conductive connection. When the dust collection station 1 is powered on, the vacuum cleaner 4 can be automatically charged by placing it on the bucket 2.
[0025] Furthermore, to facilitate cleaning of the dust collection chamber 112, the cover plate 12 is rotated and snapped onto the bottom of the housing 11, and the top is fixed by magnet 5. When it is necessary to remove the dust bag (not shown) from the dust collection chamber 112 for replacement, hold the cover plate 12 to overcome the attraction of magnet 5, and then rotate it outward to open. The above configuration is well-known in the art, so it will not be described in detail. To facilitate the connection and fixation of the dust bag, the inside of the housing 11 extends downward to form a fixing tube 13 corresponding to the position of the dust suction port 111, so that the dust bag can be fitted onto the fixing tube 13 to collect dust.
[0026] Furthermore, in the floor-standing mode, the dust collection station 1, with the vacuum cleaner 4 placed on it, has its center of gravity tilted forward. To improve the stability of the dust collection station 1, a pair of connecting columns 14 are symmetrically provided at the bottom of the dust collection station 1. Each connecting column 14 is rotatably connected to a pair of support legs 6. The support legs 6 can be rotated outward to provide auxiliary support for the dust collection station 1, thereby balancing the overall center of gravity and preventing the dust collection station 1 from tipping over. Preferably, the bottom of the dust collection station 1 is also provided with limiting holes 15 to limit the support legs 6 after they are unfolded, so that the support legs 6 are not easy to move. In the wall-mounted mode, the support legs 6 can be retracted towards the inside of the connecting columns 14.
[0027] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
