Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vacuum cleaner technology, and in particular to a vacuum cleaner that can separate small toy parts (especially small building blocks) from dust. Background Technology

[0002] Existing vacuum cleaners mainly consist of a suction device and a suction hose. The suction device, primarily composed of a motor and fan, is located inside the machine. The suction hose includes a suction head and a suction tube. The suction head has a downward-opening suction port, which connects to the air inlet of the fan inside the machine via a telescopic tube and a flexible hose. When the vacuum cleaner is running, the motor drives the fan impeller to rotate at high speed, expelling air from the vacuum cleaner and creating a momentary vacuum inside, resulting in a significant negative pressure difference between the vacuum cleaner and the outside atmosphere. Under this negative pressure difference, dust and small debris near the suction head, along with air, are sucked into the dust collection bin inside the machine through the suction port. The dust-laden air is then filtered in the dust collection bin or centrifugally separated by a cyclone separator to capture dust before being discharged from the outlet. This achieves the effect of removing dust and cleaning the floor.

[0003] However, when these existing vacuum cleaners are used to pick up small toy parts that children play with on the floor (such as small building blocks or other puzzle toys), the small toy parts and dust are mixed together and collected in the dust collection space. This results in the small toy parts being covered in dust, making it extremely inconvenient to manually separate the dust from the collected toys before they can be used. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned problems and shortcomings by providing a dedicated vacuum cleaner designed for small building block assembly toys. This vacuum cleaner incorporates a specially designed toy dust separation chamber, allowing the vacuum cleaner to immediately separate the dust from the small toy parts after collection, eliminating the need for manual sorting and cleaning. This enables users to easily collect and store scattered small toy parts.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows: The present invention relates to a vacuum cleaner that separates building block toy parts from dust. The vacuum cleaner includes a vacuum cleaner body, an air intake pipe connected to the air inlet of the vacuum cleaner body, a suction device installed inside the vacuum cleaner body, and a dust collection chamber. The suction device includes a fan and a motor. The vacuum cleaner body also has an air outlet. The key feature is that a toy dust separation chamber, communicating with the air inlet, is added between the air inlet and the dust collection chamber. The bottom surface of this toy dust separation chamber has several dust separation grooves communicating with the dust collection chamber. These grooves effectively separate the dust after the air intake pipe draws the building block toy parts and dust into the toy dust separation chamber, allowing the toy parts to be collected within the toy dust separation chamber and the dust within the dust collection chamber.

[0006] Furthermore, the vacuum cleaner body includes a vacuum seat with the air outlet, an upper cover that is foldably mounted on the vacuum seat and located above the toy dust separation chamber, an air inlet on the upper cover, a suction device located in the air chamber of the vacuum seat, a vent on one side of the dust collection chamber communicating with the air chamber, and an airflow channel formed between the air inlet and the air outlet through the dust separation groove, the vent, and the air chamber.

[0007] The upper edge of the toy dust separation compartment is provided with a fastening structure to the upper cover, and the toy dust separation compartment is detachably connected to the upper cover through the fastening structure. The fastening structure includes a handle on both sides of the upper edge of the toy dust separation compartment and a fastening edge with a locking block on both sides of the upper cover, and the fastening edge can be fastened with the handle.

[0008] Furthermore, the toy dust separation chamber is a concave arc-shaped chamber, lower at the front and higher at the rear, with the ventilation opening of the dust collection chamber located on the rear side. Near the ventilation opening, the bottom surface of the inner cavity of the dust collection chamber is also equipped with an upward-extending dust baffle, the side of which forms a ventilation channel communicating with the ventilation opening between the side of the dust baffle and the two side walls of the dust collection chamber. A ventilation hole is provided at the rear end of the toy dust separation chamber.

[0009] Furthermore, the dust separation channels on the toy dust separation chamber include several arc-shaped channels located at the front flat bottom of the bottom surface and several long channels located at the rear of the bottom surface and extending to the rear side, with the front lower and the rear higher.

[0010] The advantages of this utility model are: Because this invention incorporates a toy dust separation chamber connected to the air inlet between the air inlet and the dust collection chamber, it can function as both a simple vacuum cleaner for dust removal and for collecting scattered small toy parts (such as small building blocks from building blocks or other assembly toys). After the small toy parts are sucked into the vacuum cleaner along with the dust, the dust is immediately separated, eliminating the need for manual sorting and cleaning. This allows users to easily collect and store scattered small toy parts, making it extremely convenient. This invention can be widely applied to the collection of various small toy parts, including miniature toys.

[0011] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Attached Figure Description

[0013] Figures 2-3 for Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the assembly structure. Detailed Implementation

[0014] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the vacuum cleaner of this utility model, which separates building block toy accessories from dust, includes a vacuum cleaner body 1, an air suction pipe 2 connected to the air inlet 10 of the vacuum cleaner body 1, a suction device installed inside the vacuum cleaner body 1, and a dust collection chamber 3. The suction device includes a fan and a motor (not shown in the figure). The vacuum cleaner body 1 is also provided with an air outlet 13. Generally, the air suction pipe 2 is a vacuum suction hose, and the front end of the vacuum suction hose is also equipped with a vacuum head. A connecting sleeve is also installed at the air inlet 10 where the air suction pipe 2 is connected. To enable this invention to easily collect scattered small toy parts (such as small building blocks) on the ground or tabletop, a toy dust separation chamber 4 communicating with the air inlet 10 is added between the air inlet 10 and the dust collection chamber 3. The toy dust separation chamber 4 has at least several dust separation grooves 41 on its bottom surface that communicate with the dust collection chamber 3. The width of the dust separation grooves is preferably smaller than the width and thickness of the small toy. The dust separation grooves 41 can separate the dust in time after the small toy parts and dust are drawn into the toy dust separation chamber 4 by the air suction pipe 2, so that the small toy parts are collected in the toy dust separation chamber 4 and the dust is collected in the dust collection chamber 3. There is no need for manual sorting and cleaning of the dust on the small toy parts, allowing users to easily collect and store the scattered small toy parts, which is extremely convenient to use.

[0015] Furthermore, the vacuum cleaner body 1 includes a vacuum base 11 with the air outlet 13, and an upper cover 12 that is closable on the vacuum base 11 and located above the toy dust separation chamber 4. An air inlet 10 is located on the upper cover 12. The suction device is located within the air chamber of the vacuum base 11. A ventilation opening 31 communicating with the air chamber is located on one side of the dust collection chamber 3. An airflow channel is formed between the air inlet 10 and the air outlet 13 through the dust separation groove 41, the ventilation opening 31, and the air chamber. To ensure reliable connection of the toy dust separation chamber 4 to the upper cover, a fastening structure is provided between the upper edge of the toy dust separation chamber 4 and the upper cover 12. The toy dust separation chamber 4 is detachably connected to the upper cover 12 via the fastening structure. The specific structure of the fastening structure can be configured as needed, such as a combination of latching protrusions and latching holes. Preferably, it includes handles 6 on both sides of the upper edge of the toy dust separation chamber 4 and corresponding fastening edges 7 with latching blocks on both sides of the upper cover 12. The fastening edges 7 can engage with the handles 6 for fastening. Additionally, the front and rear ends of the vacuum cleaner base also have fastening structures that engage with the upper cover 12. The upper cover is detachably connected to the vacuum cleaner base via these fastening structures. The specific fastening structure can be configured as needed, such as using a combination of latches and protrusions or a combination of latches and latching holes as in existing technologies. More preferably, the upper cover 12 is a transparent cover.

[0016] The toy dust separation chamber 4 can be an open square frame, preferably a concave arc-shaped chamber that is lower in the front and higher in the back. The ventilation opening 31 of the dust collection chamber 3 is located on the rear side. The dust collection chamber 3 is preferably a chamber body that is lower in the front and higher in the back. The space between the bottom surface of the inner cavity of the dust collection chamber 3 and the bottom of the toy dust separation chamber 4 forms a dust collection area. Further, the dust separation grooves on the toy dust separation chamber 4 include several arc-shaped grooves located at the flat front of the bottom surface and several long grooves located at the rear of the bottom surface and extending rearward, which are lower in the front and higher in the back. The long grooves are preferably concave arc-shaped long grooves. This utility model, by designing long grooves and arc-shaped groove structures on the toy dust separation chamber, can better separate debris and dust in different states during use.

[0017] Furthermore, an upwardly extending dust baffle 32 is provided on the bottom surface of the inner cavity of the dust collection chamber 3 near the vent or at the bottom edge of the vent. A ventilation channel communicating with the vent 31 is formed between the side of the dust baffle 32 and the side wall of the dust collection chamber 3. To further prevent dust from entering the vent through the ventilation channel, stop connecting strips 34, spaced apart, are provided between the side of the dust baffle 32 and the rear side wall of the dust collection chamber 3 at the ventilation channel. These stop connecting strips serve both to connect and support the dust baffle and to prevent dust from entering the vent. If the gap between two adjacent stop connecting strips is large, smaller stop blocks can be added.

[0018] The toy dust separation chamber 4 has a ventilation hole 42 at its rear end. To make it more convenient to use, the bottom of the dust collection base 11 is equipped with a roller 8, a handle 9, a power supply, and a power switch connected to the power supply.

[0019] The working principle of this utility model for collecting small building blocks in building block toys is as follows: When the power switch is turned on, the motor inside the vacuum cleaner drives the fan, expelling air from the vacuum cleaner through the air outlet and creating a momentary vacuum inside the vacuum cleaner, resulting in a significant negative pressure difference between the vacuum cleaner and the outside atmosphere. Under this negative pressure difference, when the suction head on the suction tube is aimed at the scattered small building blocks on the ground, the small building blocks, along with the surrounding dust (including dust and small debris such as paper scraps), and air, are sucked into the toy dust separation chamber 4 inside the vacuum cleaner through the suction tube. At the same time, the dust, under the action of the suction airflow, passes through the dust separation groove at the bottom of the toy dust separation chamber 4 and enters the dust collection chamber 3. The small building blocks remain collected in the toy dust separation chamber 4, thus effectively separating the small building blocks from the dust. This eliminates the need for manual sorting of the small building blocks and manual removal of paper scraps, debris, and dust stuck to them, allowing users to easily collect and store the scattered small building blocks. Furthermore, because the dust baffle at the front of the vent at the rear of the dust collection chamber 3 acts as a barrier, the airflow mixed with dust will retain and collect most of the dust in the dust collection chamber 3, and then discharge it to the outside of the vacuum cleaner from the air outlet 13.

[0020] Although this invention has been described with reference to specific embodiments, such description is not intended to limit the invention. Other variations of the disclosed embodiments, based on the description of this invention, will be foreseeable to those skilled in the art, and such variations should fall within the scope defined by the appended claims.
