Furthermore, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but this must be based on the ability of those skilled in the art to implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.

[0032] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0033] The following section uses cleaning system 100 as an example to describe its structure in detail, including different implementation methods for each component. Without violating the technical principles, the components (including one or more implementation methods) can be combined with each other.

[0034] refer to Figure 1 This application discloses a cleaning system 100, which includes a host 101, a base station 102 and a dust collection component 103.

[0035] refer to Figure 2 In embodiment 1, the main unit 101 includes a main body 11 and a dust collection assembly 12. The main body 11 includes a first motor 111 for generating a suction airflow. Figure 3 The resulting suction airflow can remove dirt from the surface of an object. The main body 11 also includes an energy device 112 that powers the first motor 111. This energy device 112 supports both battery installation and charging functionality. The main body 11 also includes a handle assembly 113. In practical use, the operator can conveniently pick up and put down the main unit 101 using the handle assembly 113.

[0036] refer to Figure 4The dust collection assembly 12 includes a dust cup assembly 121 and a dust scraper assembly 122. The dust cup assembly 121 includes a filter device, which includes a first filter device and a second filter device. The dust cup assembly 121 is used to separate the suction airflow carrying dirt and to store at least a portion of the separated dirt. The dust scraper assembly 122 includes a first dust scraper assembly and a second dust scraper assembly. The first dust scraper assembly is used to scrape off at least a portion of the dirt adhering to the outer surface of the first filter. The second dust scraper assembly is used to scrape off at least a portion of the dirt adhering to the outer surface of the second filter.

[0037] refer to Figure 5 The vacuuming assembly 103 includes a floor brush 31 for cleaning surface dirt. The vacuuming assembly 103 also includes a vacuum conduit 32 for transporting airflow and dirt. The floor brush 31 includes a flexible hose for connecting to one end of the vacuum conduit 32. The flexible hose stably connects the floor brush 31 and one end of the vacuum conduit 32, increasing flexibility and allowing the operator to adjust the position of the floor brush 31 during cleaning to adapt to different cleaning scenarios. One end of the vacuum conduit 32 is connected to the flexible hose, and the other end is connected to the vacuum port of the main body 11, forming an airflow channel. In this channel, the suction airflow generated by the operation of the first motor 111 carries dirt, causing the dirt-laden airflow to enter the dust collection assembly 12 from the floor brush 31 via the vacuum conduit 32, completing the vacuuming process.

[0038] refer to Figure 9 The base station 102 includes a housing 21. The base station 102 is used to dock with the main unit 101 and the dust collection assembly 103. One end of the base station 102 includes a first space 22 for accommodating the main unit 101. Along the X-axis direction of the base station 102, one end has an opening 23, the width of which is greater than the outer diameter of the dust collection assembly 12, facilitating the operator to place and remove the main unit 101 within the first space 22. The base station 102 also includes a second motor 30 for generating suction airflow. Figure 6 The suction generated draws dirt from the dust collection component 12 into the base station 102.

[0039] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 7 The host 101 includes a storage state relative to the base station 102. Figure 1 ) and unstored state ( Figure 7 The stowed state is when at least part of the main unit 101 is located within the first space 22. The unstowed state is when the main unit 101 is located outside the first space 22. When the main unit 101 changes from the unstowed state to the stowed state, the operator can use the floor brush 31 as a support point, and the main unit 101 moves along the first motion trajectory 51. When the main unit 101 changes from the stowed state to the unstowed state, the operator also uses the floor brush 31 as a support point, and the main unit 101 moves along the second motion trajectory 52. ​​During the switching between the two motion states, the floor brush 31 acts as a fixed support point, forming a lever-like fulcrum, reducing the operator's labor intensity.

[0040] refer to Figure 9 In Embodiment 2, without changing the structure of Embodiment 1, the base station 102 is further provided with a cavity 24 to accommodate the vacuum suction duct 32. This cavity 24 can completely accommodate the vacuum suction duct 32. The cavity 24 can also accommodate a portion of the vacuum suction duct 32.

[0041] refer to Figure 9 In Embodiment 3, without changing the structure in Embodiments 1 and / or 2, the cleaning system 100 is equipped with a limiting structure 25. The limiting structure 25 can be located within the first space 22 and cooperates with the dust collection component 12. Alternatively, the limiting structure 25 can be located outside the first space 22 and cooperates with the main body 11 and / or the suction component 103. The limiting structure 25 can be any structure with a limiting function, including but not limited to snap-fit ​​structures, magnetic structures, etc. The limiting structure 25 prevents the main unit 101 from changing from a stored state to an open state without external force.

[0042] refer to Figure 6 The snap-fit ​​structure includes a first snap-fit ​​member 251 and a second snap-fit ​​member 252. At least a portion of the first snap-fit ​​member 251 and the second snap-fit ​​member 252 are disposed within the first space 22. The first snap-fit ​​member 251 and the second snap-fit ​​member 252 snap onto the dust collection assembly 12 to prevent the main unit 101 from changing from a stored state to an open state when not subjected to external force. The first snap-fit ​​member 251 and the second snap-fit ​​member 252 are pivotally / retractably mounted within the first space 22. When the dust collection assembly 12 enters the first space 22, the snap-fit ​​member pivots or retracts to allow the dust collection assembly 12 to smoothly enter the first space 22. After the dust collection assembly 12 enters the first space 22, the snap-fit ​​member resets, and the first snap-fit ​​member 251 and the second snap-fit ​​member 252 contact the dust collection assembly 12, limiting the displacement of the dust collection assembly 12 relative to the housing 21 when not subjected to external force. The magnetic structure includes a first magnetic element and a second magnetic element. The first magnetic element is at least partially disposed within the first space 22 and / or cavity 24, and the second magnetic element is at least partially disposed within the dust collection assembly 12 and / or suction duct 32. The first and second magnetic elements magnetically attract each other, preventing the main unit 101 from changing from a stored state to an open state when no external force is applied.

[0043] refer to Figure 8In Embodiment 4, without changing the structures in Embodiments 1-3, the base station 102 is further equipped with a ground brush storage structure 26 and a second space 27. The ground brush storage structure 26 can be designed with or without a base. The base can be designed in two ways: one with an inclined surface and the other without. The ground brush storage structure with an inclined surface consists of an open end, two side baffles, a rear baffle, and a bottom baffle with an inclined surface, which assists the ground brush 31 in entering and exiting the second space 27. The ground brush storage structure without an inclined surface consists of an open end, two side baffles, a rear baffle, and a bottom baffle. The base is equipped with a scraping structure 261. This scraping structure 261 can be a protruding structure of any shape. When the ground brush 31 returns to the base station 102 after completing the cleaning operation, it can effectively remove residual dirt from the ground brush 31 by contacting and rubbing against the scraper structure 261, thereby maintaining the cleanliness of the ground brush 31.

[0044] refer to Figure 4 and Figure 9 In embodiment 5, without changing the structure of the above four embodiments, a dust discharge triggering structure 28 is provided in the first space 22, and a dust discharge control structure 123 is configured on the dust collection assembly 12. When the host 101 enters the first space 22, the dust discharge control structure 123 on the dust collection assembly 12 abuts against the dust discharge triggering structure 28 in the first space 22, and the dust discharge control structure 123 is in an open state or an openable state. When it is in the openable state, the cover sealing the dust outlet can be opened under the action of external force (the suction force generated by the second motor 30 or the force generated by other external objects on the cover), the dust outlet opens, and the second motor 30 ( Figure 6 The suction force generated draws dirt into the dirt collection device inside the base station 102. The ash discharge trigger structure 28 can be located opposite the opening 23, or at any position within the first space 22 that can abut against the ash discharge control structure 123. The first space 22 is also equipped with a sealing component 29. This sealing component 29 can tightly fit with the ash discharge port to form a sealed dust collection channel, preventing leakage of the suction force generated by the second motor 30, thereby avoiding a decrease in the dirt collection capacity.

[0045] Although the embodiments of this application have been disclosed above, they are not limited to the applications listed in the specification and embodiments. They can be applied to various fields suitable for this utility model. For those skilled in the art, other modifications can be easily made. Therefore, without departing from the general concept defined by the claims and their equivalents, this application is not limited to the specific details and the illustrations shown and described herein.
