[0026] refer to Figure 1 This application discloses a dust cup 1, which includes a dust discharge control structure 10, a cover 11, and a dust discharge port 12. (Reference) Figure 2 This application discloses a vacuum cleaner 100 containing a dust cup 1. (Reference) Figure 3 This application discloses a cleaning system 200, which includes a vacuum cleaner 100 containing a dust cup 1 and a base station 2 connected to the vacuum cleaner 100.

[0027] refer to Figure 1 , 4-10. Detailed description of the structure of dust cup 1. In embodiment 1, the dust outlet 12 of dust cup 1 is the channel for discharging dirt from inside dust cup 1. When it is necessary to clean the dirt in dust cup 1, the dust outlet 12 is opened, and the dirt is discharged from the dust outlet 12. A cover 11 is disposed at the dust outlet 12. When the cover 11 is opened or closed, it has two positions relative to the dust outlet 12. These two positions are the closed position and the unclosed position. The closed position and the unclosed position only represent the positional relationship of the cover 11 relative to the dust outlet and do not indicate whether the cover 11 is locked. For ease of description, the closed position is described as the first position. The unclosed position is described as the second position. Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 9 The cover 11 shown is in the first position relative to the ash outlet 12. Figure 6 and Figure 8 The position shown for cover 11 is the second position. The ash discharge control structure 10 has two positions relative to cover 11: a locked position and an unlocked position. These locked and unlocked positions are simply two different locations of the ash discharge control structure on the dust cup. Whether the cover is locked or unlocked depends on the specific position of the cover, which will be described in detail below. Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the ash discharge control structure 10 is in the locked position. Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the ash discharge control structure 10 is in the unlocked position. The locked position is also referred to as the third position. The unlocked position is also referred to as the fourth position. The ash discharge control structure 10 is provided with a main body 101 and a locking member 102, wherein the locking member 102 has the function of locking and unlocking the cover 11. The locking member 102 is any structure that can unlock the cover 11 when it is closed and lock the cover 11 when it is open. Specifically, the locking member can extend and retract under the action of an elastic member such as a spring; the locking member can be folded under the action of an elastic member made of elastic material, or the locking member can be torn under the action of an elastic member such as a torsion spring. When the dust cup is in normal use, such as Figure 5 As shown, when the cover 11 is in the first position, the ash discharge control structure 10 is in the third position, and the locking member 102 is in the fifth position, thus locking the cover 11 and placing it in a locked state. Figure 6 As shown, when the dust cup cover 11 is in the open position, it is not suitable for use. When the cover 11 is in the second position, the ash discharge control structure 10 is in the third position, and the locking member 102 is in the fifth position; at this time, the cover 11 is not locked. To lock the cover 11, it needs to be manually moved from the second position to the first position. When the cover 11 moves from the second position to the first position, the cover 11 can contact the locking member, driving the locking member 102 relative to the main body 101 from the fifth position (see reference). Figure 6 ) and the sixth position (reference) Figure 9The cover 11 moves between the second and first positions. During the process of the cover 11 moving from the second position to the first position, the locking member 102 moves from the fifth position to the sixth position. After the cover 11 moves to the first position, the locking member, under the action of the elastic member, moves from the sixth position to the fifth position, at which point the cover 11 is locked. Figure 6 As shown, the ash outlet 12 is in the open state. During the movement of the cover 11, the positions of the locking member 102 and the cover 11 are as follows: Figure 9 As shown, finally as Figure 5 As shown, locking element 102 locks the cover, closing the ash outlet 12. In the above-described manner of operation, Figure 9 The locking element 102 is located in the sixth position. With this structure, the cover can be closed simply by overcoming the elastic force of the elastic element, which is more labor-saving.

[0028] Specifically, when using the vacuum cleaner 100 with dust cup 1 or the cleaning system 200, the cover 11 sealing the dust outlet 12 can be opened by external force (the suction in the dust collection base station 2 or the force exerted on the cover 11 by other external objects), allowing dirt to be discharged from the dust outlet 12. When the vacuum cleaner 100 is used in conjunction with the base station 2, after the vacuum cleaner is pushed into the base station, the cover opening structure on the base station abuts against the dust discharge control structure, causing the dust discharge control structure to move from the third position to the fourth position. At this time, the cover changes from the locked state to the unlocked state, and the cover can be opened from the closed position (see reference) by external force or gravity. Figure 7 Move to the unclosed position (refer to) Figure 8 The dust in the dust cup is transferred to the base station through the dust outlet under the action of airflow. After using the vacuum cleaner 100 or cleaning system 200 containing the dust cup 1, if the cover is not in the closed position during the removal process, the cover 11 needs to be manually closed to close the dust outlet 12 using the above method. With the above structure, the cover 11 can easily and conveniently close the dust outlet 12 through the mutual movement and cooperation of the cover 11, the dust discharge control structure 10 and the locking member 102.

[0029] In Example 2, while keeping the structure unchanged from the above examples, refer to Figure 10 The ash discharge control structure 10 also includes a pressing member 103. The pressing member 103 is connected to the main body 101. The ash discharge control structure 10 moves via the pressing member 103, thereby switching between a third position and a fourth position. The pressing member 103 can be an elastic element. The main body 101 is L-shaped and consists of a first component 1011 and a second component 1012. A locking member 102 can be installed on the second component 1012. The pressing member 103 is installed on the first component 1011. The main body 101 can be integrally formed from the first component 1011 and the second component 1012. Alternatively, the main body 101 can be composed of the first component 1011 and the second component 1012 connected together.

[0030] In Example 3, while keeping the structure unchanged from the above examples, refer to Figure 5 and Figure 11 At least one guide plate 14 is provided in the dust cup 1. The guide plate 14 is inclined along the central axis of the dust cup 1. The guide plate 14 can change the direction of the fluid entering the dust cup 1. The guide plate 14 causes the dirty airflow entering the dust cup 1 to settle down quickly. The space where the ash discharge control structure 10 is installed protrudes into the dust cup 1, and the resulting gap is prone to dust accumulation. At least one guide plate 14 is installed in the interior position of the dust cup 1 corresponding to the space where the ash discharge control structure 10 is installed to reduce dust accumulation in this area.

[0031] Although the embodiments of this utility model 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 utility model is not limited to the specific details and the illustrations shown and described herein.
