Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of vacuum cleaners, and in particular to a dust removal mechanism for a vacuum cleaner. Background Technology

[0002] Vacuum cleaners typically consist of multiple functional units, including an airflow generating unit, a filtration unit, and a dust collection unit. After the airflow generating unit draws in air, the air carrying dirt is filtered by the filtration unit, allowing the filtered air to be discharged back into the atmosphere, while the dust and other debris generated during filtration remain in the vacuum cleaner.

[0003] When using a vacuum cleaner, dust and other solid debris easily accumulate on the filter cylinder and dust cup, leading to a decrease in filtration efficiency. Currently, convenient cleaning of vacuum cleaners mainly relies on a dust removal mechanism within the filter system, a dust collection station, or a combination of both. Regarding dust removal via the filter system cleaning mechanism, UK Patent Publication No. GB2620160B, published on December 11, 2024, discloses a Dirt seperator. This patent utilizes the axial movement of the filter system cleaning mechanism to remove dust from the filter cylinder. The drawback of this patent is that the filter system cleaning mechanism can only clean the filter cylinder; the surface of the dust cup remains uncleaned.

[0004] In summary, there is a need for a vacuum cleaner dust removal mechanism that can clean both the filter cylinder and the dust cup simultaneously. Utility Model Content

[0005] This invention aims to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies that can only clean the filter cylinder and cannot clean the surface of the dust cup, and provides a dust removal mechanism for vacuum cleaners that can clean both the filter cylinder and the dust cup at the same time.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A dust removal mechanism for a vacuum cleaner includes:

[0008] The machine body is equipped with a dust cup and a filter cylinder, with the filter cylinder located at the center of the inner side of the dust cup;

[0009] A spiral cleaning kit, which is fitted onto and movably connected to a filter cylinder;

[0010] A spiral guide is disposed between the inner wall of the dust cup and the outer wall of the spiral cleaning kit. Under the guidance of the spiral guide, the spiral cleaning kit rotates spirally between the dust cup and the filter cylinder.

[0011] A cleaning brush strip is fixed to a spiral cleaning kit, with one side of the cleaning brush strip in contact with the filter cylinder and the other side of the cleaning brush strip in contact with the dust cup;

[0012] A rotary drive structure is mounted on the machine body and connected to the spiral cleaning kit.

[0013] During cleaning, a rotary drive structure propels the spiral cleaning kit, which, guided by a spiral guide, rotates upwards in a spiral motion between the dust cup and the filter cylinder. As the spiral cleaning kit moves, one side (inner side) of the cleaning brush scrapes across the filter cylinder, while the other side (outer side) sweeps across the dust cup, thus simultaneously cleaning both the filter cylinder and the dust cup, improving cleaning efficiency. Furthermore, the centered design of the spiral cleaning kit between the dust cup and the filter cylinder maximizes the utilization of space within the dust cup.

[0014] Preferably, the main body includes a housing, with the dust cup and filter cartridge both fixed to the outer surface of the housing. The rotary drive structure includes a push rod disposed inside the housing. A push rod clearance hole is provided on the housing, located between the dust cup and the filter cartridge. The push rod passes through the clearance hole and connects to the spiral cleaning kit. The user can control the spiral cleaning kit to rotate spirally upwards between the dust cup and the filter cartridge using the push rod. The structure is simple and easy to control.

[0015] Preferably, the spiral cleaning kit has an arc-shaped groove at one end near the housing, with the center of the groove located on the geometric center line of the filter cylinder. An arc-shaped inclined surface is provided at the bottom of the groove, gradually tilting towards the opening of the groove from one end to the other. One end of the push rod extends into the arc-shaped groove and rests on the inclined surface, while the other end is fixed with a rotating push button. A push button guide hole is provided on the surface of the housing, and the rotating push button is mounted on and movably connected to it. The plane of the push button guide hole is perpendicular to the geometric center line of the filter cylinder. When the rotating push button is pushed from one end of the guide hole to the other, the push rod also moves from one end of the inclined surface to the other. In standby mode, the push rod is located at one end of the inclined surface (i.e., the deepest part of the arc-shaped groove), while the rotating push button is located at one end of the guide hole. During cleaning, the user pushes the rotary knob from one end of the knob's movable guide hole to the other. Since the push rod is fixedly connected to the rotary knob, the push rod will also move from one end of the arc-shaped propulsion ramp to the other end. At this time, under the guidance of the arc-shaped propulsion ramp, the push rod will push the entire spiral cleaning kit to rotate spirally upward between the dust cup and the filter cylinder along the spiral guide. During the movement of the spiral cleaning kit, one side (inner side) of the cleaning brush strip scrapes across the filter cylinder, and the other side (outer side) of the cleaning brush strip sweeps across the dust cup, thereby achieving the purpose of cleaning both the filter cylinder and the dust cup at the same time, improving the cleaning effect.

[0016] Preferably, the spiral guide includes a spiral trajectory rib fixed to the inner wall of the dust cup. A guide protrusion, in contact with the spiral trajectory rib, is fixed to the outer wall of the spiral cleaning kit, positioned on the side of the spiral trajectory rib closer to the rotary drive structure. When the push rod pushes the entire spiral cleaning kit forward, the guide protrusion on the spiral cleaning kit moves spirally upward along the spiral trajectory rib on the inner wall of the dust cup. This causes the spiral cleaning kit and cleaning brush to rotate spirally upward between the dust cup and the filter cylinder. During the movement of the spiral cleaning kit, one side (inner side) of the cleaning brush scrapes across the filter cylinder, while the other side (outer side) sweeps across the dust cup, thus achieving simultaneous cleaning of both the filter cylinder and the dust cup, improving the cleaning effect.

[0017] Preferably, a vacuum fan is installed inside the housing, and the interior of the filter cylinder is connected to the interior of the housing. The vacuum fan generates suction to draw in external debris, and the air carrying the debris is filtered through the filter cylinder, allowing the filtered air to be discharged back into the atmosphere, while the debris remains in the dust cup.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: the spiral cleaning kit and its cleaning brush strips rotate spirally upward between the dust cup and the filter cylinder, one side (inner side) of the cleaning brush strips scrapes across the filter cylinder, and the other side (outer side) of the cleaning brush strips sweeps across the dust cup, thereby achieving the purpose of cleaning the filter cylinder and the dust cup at the same time, improving the cleaning effect; improving the space utilization rate inside the dust cup; and having a simple structure and convenient control.

[0026] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0027] like Figures 1-4 In the embodiments described above, a dust removal mechanism for a vacuum cleaner includes:

[0028] The main body is equipped with a dust cup 1 and a filter cylinder 2, with the filter cylinder 2 located at the center of the inner side of the dust cup 1.

[0029] Spiral cleaning kit, which is fitted onto and movably connected to filter cylinder 2;

[0030] A spiral guide is provided between the inner wall of the dust cup 1 and the outer wall of the spiral cleaning kit. Under the guidance of the spiral guide, the spiral cleaning kit rotates spirally between the dust cup 1 and the filter cylinder 2.

[0031] Cleaning brush 3 is fixed on the spiral cleaning kit. One side of the cleaning brush 3 is in contact with the filter cylinder 2, and the other side of the cleaning brush 3 is in contact with the dust cup 1.

[0032] A rotary drive structure is mounted on the machine body and connected to the spiral cleaning kit.

[0033] The main body includes a housing 4, a dust cup 1 and a filter cylinder 2, all of which are fixed on the outer surface of the housing 4. The rotary drive structure includes a push rod 5, which is located inside the housing 4. The housing 4 is provided with a push rod clearance hole, which is located between the dust cup 1 and the filter cylinder 2. The push rod 5 passes through the push rod clearance hole and is connected to the spiral cleaning kit.

[0034] The spiral cleaning kit has an arc-shaped groove 6 near one end of the housing 4. The center of the arc-shaped groove 6 is located on the geometric center line of the filter cylinder 2. An arc-shaped pushing slope 7 is provided at the bottom of the arc-shaped groove 6. The arc-shaped pushing slope 7 gradually slopes towards the opening of the arc-shaped groove 6 from one end to the other. One end of the push rod 5 extends into the arc-shaped groove 6 and is placed on the arc-shaped pushing slope 7. The other end of the push rod 5 is fixed with a rotating push button 8. The surface of the housing 4 is provided with a push button movable guide hole 9. The rotating push button 8 is installed on the push button movable guide hole 9 and is movably connected to it. The plane where the push button movable guide hole 9 is located is perpendicular to the geometric center line of the filter cylinder 2. When the rotating push button 8 is pushed from one end of the push button movable guide hole 9 to the other end, the push rod 5 also moves from one end of the arc-shaped pushing slope 7 to the other end.

[0035] The spiral guide includes a spiral track rib 10, which is fixed to the inner wall of the dust cup 1. A guide protrusion 11 that contacts the spiral track rib 10 is fixed on the outer wall of the spiral cleaning kit. The guide protrusion 11 is located on the side of the spiral track rib 10 close to the rotation drive structure.

[0036] The inside of the housing 4 is equipped with a dust extraction fan 12, and the inside of the filter cylinder 2 is connected to the inside of the housing 4.

[0037] like Figures 5-7 As shown, when the spiral cleaning kit 13 is in standby mode, the push rod 5 is located at one end of the arc-shaped propulsion slope 7 (i.e., the deepest position of the arc-shaped spiral groove 6), while the rotating push button 8 is located at one end of the push button movable guide hole 9.

[0038] During cleaning, the user pushes the rotary push button 8 from one end of the push button movable guide hole 9 to the other end. Since the push rod 5 is fixedly connected to the rotary push button 8, the push rod 5 will also move from one end of the arc-shaped push slope 7 to the other end. At this time, under the guidance of the arc-shaped push slope 7, the push rod 5 will push the entire spiral cleaning kit 13 to rotate spirally upward between the dust cup 1 and the filter cylinder 2 along the spiral guide. (When the push rod 5 pushes the entire spiral cleaning kit 13, the guide protrusion 11 on the spiral cleaning kit 13 will move spirally upward along the spiral trajectory rib 10 on the inner wall of the dust cup 1, thereby driving the spiral cleaning kit 13 and the cleaning brush 3 to rotate spirally upward between the dust cup 1 and the filter cylinder 2.) During the spiral rotation of the spiral cleaning kit 13, one side (inner side) of the cleaning brush 3 scrapes across the filter cylinder 2, and the other side (outer side) of the cleaning brush 3 sweeps across the dust cup 1, thereby achieving the purpose of cleaning the filter cylinder 2 and the dust cup 1 at the same time. The finished cleaning state of the Spiral Cleaning Kit 13 is as follows Figures 8-10 As shown.
