Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of vacuum cleaner dust cups with filter cleaning mechanisms, and more particularly to a vacuum cleaner dust cup with a filter cleaning mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] Vacuum cleaners are commonly used modern cleaning devices, and the performance of the dust cup has a significant impact on their cleaning effectiveness and user experience. Among these components, the filter, as a key part of the dust cup, directly determines the vacuum cleaner's filtration capacity. However, traditional vacuum cleaner dust cups have many drawbacks in terms of filter cleaning.
[0003] In terms of cleaning effectiveness, traditional dust cup filter cleaning methods are simplistic and incomplete. Some vacuum cleaners rely solely on simple tapping or disassembly for cleaning, which is insufficient to remove the fine dust and impurities within the filter pores. Over time, the filter becomes clogged, leading to reduced suction power and cleaning efficiency. When cleaning areas prone to dust accumulation, such as carpets or sofas, the inability of the filter to effectively filter and clean it results in dust being released back into the air, causing secondary pollution and affecting indoor air quality. Therefore, a vacuum cleaner dust cup with a filter cleaning mechanism is proposed to address these issues. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a vacuum cleaner dust cup with a filter cleaning mechanism. This solves the problem that the traditional dust cup filter cleaning method is singular and not thorough enough. Some vacuum cleaners rely solely on simple tapping or disassembly for cleaning, which is insufficient to remove the tiny dust and impurities in the filter pores. After long-term use, the filter will become clogged, leading to a decrease in vacuum cleaner suction power and cleaning efficiency. When cleaning areas where dust easily accumulates, such as carpets or sofas, the dust will be released back into the air due to the inability of the filter to effectively filter and clean it, causing secondary pollution and affecting indoor air quality.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a vacuum cleaner dust cup with a filter cleaning mechanism, comprising a vacuum cleaner dust cup, a connecting ring sleeve fixedly connected to the top of the vacuum cleaner dust cup, a guide tube sleeved on the top of the inner wall of the vacuum cleaner dust cup, a sliding frame slidably connected to a limiting groove opened on the inner wall of the guide tube, a fixing ring fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sliding frame, a rotating air inlet plate rotatably connected to the inner wall of the fixing ring, a receiving ring rotatably connected to the inner wall of the vacuum cleaner dust cup, a dust collecting rotating cylinder sleeved on the inner wall of the receiving ring, a suction cylinder fixedly installed on the inner wall of the dust collecting rotating cylinder, a receiving filter plate fixedly connected to the middle section of the inner wall of the vacuum cleaner dust cup, a filter element supported on the top of the receiving filter plate, a receiving frame fixedly connected to the lower section of the inner wall of the vacuum cleaner dust cup, an installation ring supported on the top of the receiving frame, and a filter plate fixedly connected to the inner wall of the installation ring.
[0006] A further improvement is that the outer wall of the connecting ring is provided with connecting threads; the connecting threads on the outer wall of the connecting ring facilitate the connection and fixation of the dust cup to the vacuum cleaner body; the incoming airflow passes through the guide tube, which is funnel-shaped, with its bottom receiving the top of the filter element, and the bottom connecting port is located at the air inlet of the filter element, which can guide the airflow to the filter element.
[0007] A further improvement is that the bottom of the guide tube is supported by the top of the filter element, and the guide tube is funnel-shaped. The bottom opening of the guide tube is located at the air inlet of the filter element. In the limiting groove opened on the inner wall of the guide tube, the sliding frame can slide up and down along the groove. The fixed ring fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sliding frame and the rotating air inlet plate rotatably connected to its inner wall can adjust the airflow direction and flow rate into the guide tube.
[0008] A further improvement is that the dust collection drum is hollow, and the inner cavity of the dust collection drum is used to store the dust cleaned by the vacuum cleaner. When the airflow passes through the filter element, the dust is intercepted by the filter element, and the purified air is discharged through the exhaust holes evenly opened on the receiving filter plate. The filter screen fixedly installed on the inner wall of the exhaust hole of the receiving filter plate further ensures that the discharged air is clean. The filter element is sleeved on the inner wall of the dust collection drum, and the vacuum cleaner is slidably connected to the outer wall of the filter element.
[0009] A further improvement is that the filter element is fitted onto the inner wall of the dust collection drum; when the dust collection drum rotates on the inner wall of the dust cup of the vacuum cleaner, it drives the vacuum cleaner drum to rotate together, rotating and cleaning the dust on the outer wall of the filter element; the cleaned dust falls into the hollow inner cavity of the dust collection drum for storage.
[0010] A further improvement is that a filter screen is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the uniformly opened exhaust holes of the receiving filter plate, and the exhaust holes and the filter screen are arranged circumferentially.
[0011] A further improvement is that the vacuum cleaner cylinder is slidably connected to the outer wall of the filter element for rotating and cleaning the dust on the outer wall of the filter element; the receiving ring rotatably connected to the inner wall of the dust cup of the vacuum cleaner provides support for the dust collection cylinder and ensures its stable rotation; the receiving filter plate is fixedly connected to the middle section of the inner wall of the dust cup of the vacuum cleaner, and the top of it supports the filter element, playing a dual role of support and filtration.
[0012] By employing the above technical solution, this utility model provides a vacuum cleaner dust cup with a filter cleaning mechanism, which has at least the following beneficial effects:
[0013] 1. This utility model's dust cup achieves efficient and deep cleaning of the filter element through the coordinated operation of the dust collection drum and the suction drum. Driven by the dust collection drum, the suction drum rotates along the outer wall of the filter element, which can remove dust and impurities from the surface and pores of the filter element from all directions. Compared with the traditional simple beating or disassembly cleaning method, it greatly improves the cleanliness of the filter element, effectively prevents filter element clogging, and ensures that the vacuum cleaner maintains strong suction power. Whether cleaning dust deep in carpets or dirt in sofa crevices, it can consistently perform excellent cleaning efficiency, creating a consistent cleaning experience for users.
[0014] 2. The structural design of the dust cup in this utility model greatly simplifies the cleaning process and significantly improves ease of use. The connecting thread of the connecting ring facilitates the installation and removal of the dust cup from the vacuum cleaner body. During the cleaning process, no complicated steps are required; users only need to operate the filter cleaning mechanism inside the dust cup to complete the filter cleaning, avoiding the tedious manual removal of the filter in traditional methods, reducing dust pollution to the environment. The multi-layer filtration structure supports the filter plates and filters together, ensuring not only the cleanliness of the exhaust air but also reducing the cleaning frequency, comprehensively optimizing the user experience and making cleaning work easy and efficient.
