Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air purifier technology, specifically to a quick-release mechanism for a collection box. Background Technology

[0002] A home air purifier is an electrical device that actively purifies indoor air through a built-in fan and filtration system. It primarily adsorbs or decomposes airborne particles, pollen, formaldehyde, odors, bacteria, and other pollutants. Some air purifiers, designed for pet-friendly environments, include a collection box for pet hair and other debris. This box moves back and forth within a designated area of ​​the purifier during operation, and needs to be removed for cleaning after a period of use. Currently, removing the collection box requires opening the purifier casing, unscrewing the connecting bolts, and then disassembling the box, which is cumbersome. Therefore, a structure is needed to lock the collection box inside the purifier, allowing it to move stably under load using a drive mechanism, while facilitating removal for cleaning. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the above-mentioned technical problems and provide a quick-release mechanism for a collection box.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A quick-release mechanism for a collection box includes an air purifier housing and a movable frame disposed within the air purifier housing. One end of the movable frame is open. The collection box is disposed within the movable frame. Movable buckles are movably connected to the two side walls of the movable frame near the open end. Each movable buckle is provided with a blocking block extending to the open end of the movable frame, which restricts the collection box within the movable frame. An elastic element is disposed between the movable buckle and the movable frame to reset the movable buckle. Two fixing buckles are fixedly connected to the air purifier housing. The two fixing buckles are located on both sides of the movable frame and are opposite to the movable buckles. When the movable frame moves to the outer edge of the air purifier housing, the fixing buckles abut against the movable buckles and drive the blocking blocks to move away from the collection box.

[0006] Furthermore, a first synchronous pulley is rotatably connected to the side wall of the purifier housing, a drive motor is installed on the side wall of the purifier housing, a second synchronous pulley is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the drive motor, and a synchronous belt is sleeved on the first and second synchronous pulleys, which are driven by the synchronous belt; a fixed seat is fixedly connected to the side wall of the moving frame, the fixed seat is fixedly connected to the synchronous belt, and the moving frame slides with the purifier housing and reciprocates within the purifier housing under the drive of the drive motor.

[0007] Furthermore, positioning pins are fixedly connected to both side walls of the movable frame, and movable buckles are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the movable frame. Each movable buckle has a first through hole, and the positioning pins are inserted into the first through hole. A connecting rod is fixedly connected to the side wall of the movable frame. The connecting rod is located on the side of the positioning pin away from the blocking block. A second through hole is opened on the movable buckle, and a cap is fixedly connected to the connecting rod through the second through hole. The elastic element is a compression spring, which is sleeved on the connecting rod. One end of the compression spring abuts against the side wall of the movable frame, and the other end abuts against the movable buckle. A turning notch is opened on the blocking block, and the fixed buckle includes a wedge-shaped block facing the turning notch of the blocking block. The wedge-shaped block is inserted into the turning notch and squeezes the turning notch, causing the blocking block to move away from the collection box.

[0008] Furthermore, the diameter of the first via on the side away from the moving frame is larger than the diameter on the side closer to the moving frame, and the diameter of the second via on the side away from the moving frame is larger than the diameter on the side closer to the moving frame.

[0009] Furthermore, the end of the blocking block furthest from the fixing buckle is configured as an arc-shaped curved surface.

[0010] Furthermore, the collection box has guide grooves recessed on both sides in the direction away from the moving frame, and the inner walls of both sides of the moving frame have protruding guide rails that are engaged in the grooves to guide the collection box.

[0011] Furthermore, a spring sheet is fixedly connected to the top inner side of the movable frame, and the end of the spring sheet away from the movable frame abuts against the upper end of the collection box.

[0012] Furthermore, a handle is fixedly connected to the outside of the collection box.

[0013] The quick-release mechanism for a collection box provided by this utility model has the following advantages: by setting a movable buckle on the side of the moving frame to limit the collection box, the collection box is limited within the moving frame. During the movement of the moving frame, the collection box moves with the moving frame. When it is necessary to clean the collection box, the collection box moves with the moving frame to the outer edge of the purifier housing, and the fixing buckle drives the blocking block to move away from the collection box, thereby facilitating the quick removal of the collection box.

[0027] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0028] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0029] It should be noted that all directional indications (such as up-down-left-right-forward-backward...) in the embodiments of this utility model are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly. The connection can be a direct connection or an indirect connection.

[0030] like Figures 1-11 As shown, a quick-release mechanism for a collection box includes an air purifier housing 1 and a movable frame 2 disposed within the air purifier housing 1. One end of the movable frame 2 is configured as an open structure. A collection box 3 is disposed within the movable frame 2. Movable buckles 4 are movably connected to the two side walls of the movable frame 2 near the open end. Each movable buckle 4 is provided with a blocking block 41 extending to the open end of the movable frame 2. The blocking block 41 restricts the collection box 3 within the movable frame 2. An elastic element is disposed between the movable buckle 4 and the movable frame 2 to allow the movable buckle 4 to reset. Two fixing buckles 5 are fixedly connected to the air purifier housing 1. The two fixing buckles 5 are located on both sides of the movable frame 2 and are disposed opposite to the movable buckles 4. When the movable frame 2 moves to the outer edge of the air purifier housing 1, the fixing buckles 5 abut against the movable buckles 4 and drive the blocking block 41 to move away from the collection box 3.

[0031] Using the above technical solution, the collection box 3 is limited by the movable buckle 4 on the side of the moving frame 2, so that the collection box 3 is limited within the moving frame 2. During the movement of the moving frame 2, the collection box 3 moves with the moving frame 2. When it is necessary to clean the collection box 3, the collection box 3 moves with the moving frame 2 to the outer edge of the purifier housing 1. The fixing buckle 5 drives the blocking block 41 to move away from the collection box 3, so that the collection box 3 can be easily removed. When the fixing buckle 5 disengages from the movable buckle 4, the elastic element provides elastic force to reset the movable buckle 4. Preferably, by means of size matching, when the fixing buckle 5 drives the blocking block 41 to move away from the collection box 3, the blocking block 41 does not completely disengage from the collection box 3, but still retains part of the obstruction, so as to prevent the collection box 3 from disengaging from the moving block during operation. At this time, the collection box 3 can be pulled out by applying a certain external force, so as to facilitate disassembly.

[0032] Specifically, a first synchronous pulley 11 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the purifier housing 1, a drive motor 12 is mounted on the side wall of the purifier housing 1, and a second synchronous pulley is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 12. A synchronous belt 13 is fitted onto the first synchronous pulley 11 and the second synchronous pulley, and the first synchronous pulley 11 and the second synchronous pulley are driven by the synchronous belt 13. A fixed seat 21 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the movable frame 2, and the fixed seat 21 is fixedly connected to the synchronous belt 13. The movable frame 2 is slidably engaged with the purifier housing 1 and reciprocates within the purifier housing 1 under the drive of the drive motor 12. The drive motor 12 drives the second synchronous pulley to rotate back and forth, thereby driving the synchronous belt 13 to move, and further driving the movable frame 2 to reciprocate within the purifier housing 1, so as to facilitate the collection of internal debris. At the same time, when the drive motor 12 drives the synchronous belt to move the moving frame 2 to the outer side of the purifier housing 1, the fixed buckle 5 moves the movable buckle 4, so that the collection box 3 is in the state of being ready to be pulled out. When it is necessary to pull it out for cleaning, the collection box 3 is pulled out for cleaning by external force.

[0033] Specifically, positioning pins 22 are fixedly connected to both side walls of the movable frame 2. Movable buckles 4 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the movable frame 2. Each movable buckle 4 has a first through hole 42, through which the positioning pins 22 are inserted. A connecting rod 23 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the movable frame 2. The connecting rod 23 is located on the side of the positioning pins 22 away from the blocking block 41. A second through hole 43 is opened on the movable buckle 4. A cap is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 23 through the second through hole 43. The elastic element is a compression spring 6, which is sleeved on the connecting rod 23. One end of the compression spring 6 abuts against the side wall of the movable frame 2, and the other end abuts against the movable buckle 4. A notch 44 is opened on the blocking block 41. The fixed buckle 5 includes a wedge-shaped block 51 facing the notch 44 of the blocking block 41. The wedge-shaped block 51 is inserted into the notch 44, squeezing the notch 44 to move the blocking block 41 away from the collection box 3. When the movable frame 2 moves outward, the fixed buckle 5 and the movable buckle 4 approach each other. When the wedge block 51 is inserted into the actuating notch 44 and presses against the actuating notch 44, it drives the movable buckle 4 to rotate and compress, causing the compression spring 6 to contract. This causes the blocking block 41 to move away from the collection box 3. The elastic element is a compression spring 6. When the movable buckle 4 is disengaged from the fixed buckle 5, it resets. The elastic force provided by the compression spring 6 keeps the movable buckle 4 in a limited position on the collection box 3. It should be noted that the elastic element in this embodiment is a compression spring 6, which can also be replaced by a torsion spring or an air spring or other elastic element.

[0034] Specifically, the diameter of the first through hole 42 on the side away from the moving frame 2 is larger than the diameter on the side closer to the moving frame 2, and the diameter of the second through hole 43 on the side away from the moving frame 2 is larger than the diameter on the side closer to the moving frame 2. The increased diameter of the first through hole 42 and the second through hole 43 on the side away from the moving frame 2 allows the movable buckle 4 to deflect and move when pressed by the fixed buckle 5, thereby facilitating the movement of the blocking block 41.

[0035] Specifically, the end of the blocking block 41 furthest from the fixing buckle 5 is designed with an arc-shaped surface. The arc-shaped surface facilitates the removal of the collection box 3 and also makes it easier for the collection box 3 to be inserted into the movable frame 2.

[0036] Specifically, the collection box 3 has guide grooves 31 recessed on both sides, moving away from the moving frame 2. The inner walls of both sides of the moving frame 2 have protruding guide rails 24, which engage in the grooves to guide the collection box 3. This guidance of the guide rails 24 prevents the collection box 3 from wobbling within the moving frame 2.

[0037] Specifically, a spring sheet 25 is fixedly connected to the top inner side of the movable frame 2, and the end of the spring sheet 25 away from the movable frame 2 abuts against the upper end of the collection box 3. This prevents the collection box 3 from swaying up and down inside the movable frame 2.

[0038] Specifically, a handle 32 is fixedly connected to the outside of the collection box 3. This allows for easy manipulation of the handle 32 to pull out or push the collection box 3 into the movable frame 2. Additionally, to facilitate insertion into or removal of the collection box 3 from the movable frame 2, guide rounded corners are provided at both ends of the guide groove 31.

[0039] The parts not covered in this technical solution can be implemented using existing technologies.

[0040] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and characteristics of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
