Detailed Implementation

[0038] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0039] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 According to an embodiment of the present invention, a dust cup assembly 100 includes a cup body 10 and a cup lid 20. The cup body 10 has a dust collection chamber 11 and a dust discharge port 12 communicating with the dust collection chamber 11. The cup lid 20 is used to open and close the dust discharge port 12. Exemplarily, the dust cup assembly 100 can be used with cleaning equipment 1000 such as a vacuum cleaner, a robot vacuum cleaner, or a mite remover. The dust collection chamber 11 can be used to collect dirt sucked in by the cleaning equipment 1000 during operation. After the cleaning work is completed, the dirt in the dust collection chamber 11 can be discharged through the dust discharge port 12.

[0040] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 3 The cup lid 20 includes a lid body 21 and a fitting part 22. The lid body 21 has a hinged end 211 and a free end 212. The hinged end 211 of the lid body 21 is rotatably connected to the cup body 10, and the fitting part 22 is connected to the hinged end 211 of the lid body 21. It should be noted that the hinged end 211 of the lid body 21 is the end rotatably connected to the cup body 10, and the free end 212 of the lid body 21 is the end opposite to the hinged end 211 and not subject to external force constraints. The free end 212 can rotate around the axis of the hinged end 211 to open and close the ash discharge port 12.

[0041] Combination Figure 2 The dust cup assembly 100 also includes a locking component 30, which is disposed on the cup body 10. The locking component 30 abuts against the mating part 22 and locks the cup lid 20 in the position where the ash discharge port 12 is closed. Specifically, the locking component 30 locks the cup lid 20 in the position where the ash discharge port 12 is closed by applying force to the mating part 22, so that the dust cup assembly 100 is in a closed state during use of the cleaning equipment 1000, thereby improving the sealing performance of the dust cup assembly 100. The mating part 22 is connected to the hinge end 211 of the cover part 21, and the mating part 22 extends in a direction away from the free end 212. The locking component 30 abuts against the mating part 22, which can improve the locking effect on the cup lid 20 and prevent the cup lid 20 from being opened by external force when locked.

[0042] The locking component 30 can lock and unlock the cup lid 20. When the cup lid 20 is locked, it abuts against the mating part 22 to prevent the cup lid 20 from opening the ash discharge port 12. When the cup lid 20 is unlocked, the locking component 30 can disengage from the mating part 22, and the cup lid 20 can open the ash discharge port 12 to clean the dirt inside the dust cup assembly 100. Alternatively, after the locking component 30 unlocks the cup lid 20, the cup lid 20 can open under gravity; or, after the locking component 30 unlocks the cup lid 20, the cup lid 20 can remain in the closed ash discharge port 12 state. The cleaning device 1000 can interface with the base station 2000, and the negative pressure of the base station 2000 can be used to open the cup lid 20. Figure 1 For example, a torsion spring 40 may be provided at the hinge end 211 of the cup lid 20. After the locking component 30 unlocks the cup lid 20, the torsion spring 40 keeps the cup lid 20 in the position of closing the ash discharge port 12. Under the action of the negative pressure in the base station 2000, the cup lid 20 opens the ash discharge port 12.

[0043] In addition, the cup lid 20 includes a lid body 21 and a mating part 22. When the cup lid 20 closes the ash discharge port 12, the ash discharge port 12 can be closed by the mating part 22 and the lid body 21 together; or, when the cup lid 20 closes the ash discharge port 12, the lid body 21 covers the ash discharge port 12, and the mating part 22 is located on the outside of the ash discharge port 12.

[0044] In another embodiment, the dust cup assembly 100 includes a locking component 30, which may be wholly or partially disposed on the dust cup assembly cover.

[0045] Combination Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments of this utility model, the locking component 30 includes a stop 31 and a trigger 32. The trigger 32 has a first position free from external force and a second position under external force. During the movement of the trigger 32 from the first position to the second position, the trigger 32 can drive the stop 31 to move, causing the stop 31 to disengage from the mating part 22, thereby unlocking the cup lid 20. Figure 4 As shown, the trigger part 32 is in the first position, combined with Figure 5 As shown, the trigger part 32 is in the second position, and the top part 31 is disengaged from the mating part 22. By setting the trigger part 32 to drive the top part 31 to move, the cup lid 20 is unlocked, which makes it convenient to unlock the cup lid 20. Moreover, by setting a mechanical unlocking method, compared with the motor-driven method in related technologies, the structure of the locking component 30 can be simplified, the reliability of the dust cup component 100 can be improved, and the failure rate can be reduced.

[0046] The triggering part 32 can be triggered by external force. For example, the cleaning device 1000 can be connected to the base station 2000 to clean the dirt in the dust cup assembly 100, reducing the user's operating burden. The base station 2000 can be provided with an unlocking part 2100 that cooperates with the triggering part 32. When the cleaning device 1000 is connected to the base station 2000, the unlocking part 2100 drives the triggering part 32 to move from a first position to a second position. The triggering part 32 drives the abutment 31 to move, causing the abutment 31 to disengage. When the top 31 of the unit 22 is engaged, the cup lid 20 can be released. In other words, the locking component 30 no longer presses against the cup lid 20. The cup lid 20 can open the ash discharge port 12 under the influence of gravity or negative pressure in the direction of the base station 2000. By setting the trigger 32 to move the top 31, the cup lid 20 can be unlocked when the dust cup component 100 of the cleaning device 100 is connected to the base station 2000. This simplifies the structure of the locking component 30 and improves the convenience of using the cleaning device 1000. Of course, the trigger 32 can also be moved manually by the user.

[0047] Combination Figure 4In some embodiments of this utility model, the trigger part 32 includes a slider 321, which is slidably connected to the cup body 10. Under the action of external force, the slider 321 moves from the first position to the second position to drive the top abutment 31 to move, simplifying the triggering method of the trigger part 32, reducing the space occupied by the trigger part 32 during movement, making the structure of the locking assembly 30 more compact, and facilitating user operation. For example, the trigger part 32 can be slidably connected to the cup body 10 along a direction parallel to the axis of the dust cup assembly 100. The cup body 10 can be provided with a groove for the slider 321 to slide. The slider 321 slides along the groove, so that the slider 321 moves stably in the first position and the second position, thereby facilitating the stable movement of the top abutment 31 by the slider 321, thereby realizing the stable locking and unlocking of the cup lid 20 by the locking assembly 30.

[0048] Preferably, the slider 321 slides along an axis parallel to the cup body 10, which facilitates the movement of the slider 321 via the base station 2000. Specifically, the cleaning device 1000 can be connected to the base station 2000 along the axis of the dust cup assembly 100. That is, the moving direction of the trigger part 32 is consistent with the direction of the cleaning device 1000 connected to the base station 2000. After the cleaning device 1000 is connected to the base station 2000, the slider 321 can move to the second position and disengage from the mating part 22 at the top 31 to unlock the cup lid 20. In other words, the cup lid 20 can be unlocked simultaneously after the cleaning device 1000 is connected to the base station 2000, without requiring additional user operation to unlock the cup lid 20, thus simplifying the user's operation steps.

[0049] In addition, the sliding direction of the slider 321 can also be at a certain angle to the moving direction of the dust cup assembly 100 docking with the base station 2000, so as to adapt to different shapes of cleaning equipment 1000 and base station 2000.

[0050] Optionally, the triggering part 32 may also include a first elastic element. The first elastic element has an elastic force that drives the sliding member 321 to reset from the second position to the first position. When the cleaning device 1000 is separated from the base station 2000, the sliding member 321 can be automatically reset to the first position under the action of the first elastic element, so as to facilitate the next docking of the cleaning device 1000 and the base station 2000.

[0051] Combination Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments of this utility model, the abutment top 31 includes an abutment member 311, which is rotatably connected to the cup body 10 to move between a position where the abutment mating part 22 locks the cup lid 20 in the closed ash discharge port 12 position and a position where it disengages from the mating part 22 to unlock the cup lid 20. Specifically, the abutment member 311 may have a locked position and a released position, combined with Figure 4When the abutment 311 is in the locked position, it abuts against the mating part 22 and drives the cup lid 20 to close the ash discharge port 12, thus engaging. Figure 5 When the abutment member 311 is in the released position, it disengages from the mating part 22, releasing its locking of the cup lid 20. The abutment member 311 rotatably connects to the cup body 10, improving its structural stability. Furthermore, the abutment member 311 is rotatable, preventing interference between the abutment member 311 and the mating part 22 when the cup lid 20 moves from the open ash discharge port 12 position to the closed ash discharge port 12 position. This allows the abutment member 311 to move stably between the locked and released positions, and the cup lid 20 to stably open and close the ash discharge port 12. For example, the cup lid 20 can rotate about the hinge axis between the cup lid 20 and the dust cup assembly 100 along a first circumferential direction, and the abutment member 311 can move about the hinge axis between the abutment member 311 and the cup body 10 along a second circumferential direction. The first and second circumferential directions are opposite, improving the stability of the engagement between the locking assembly 30 and the cup lid 20.

[0052] Optionally, the abutment 31 further includes a second elastic member having an elastic force that drives the abutment 311 to move from the released position to the locked position. Exemplarily, the abutment can be driven to rotate by the trigger 32. After the cleaning device 1000 separates from the base station 2000, the trigger 32 moves to a first position, and the abutment moves to the locked position under the action of the second elastic member, so that the abutment stops and locks the cup lid 20.

[0053] The dust cup assembly 100 may include a torsion spring 40, which can keep the cup lid 20 in the position of closing the ash discharge port 12; or, when the abutment member 311 moves from the release position to the locking position, it simultaneously drives the cup lid 20 to close the ash discharge port 12.

[0054] Combination Figures 6 to 9Optionally, when the abutment 311 moves from the release position to the locking position, it drives the cup cover 20 to close the ash discharge port 12. Specifically, when the abutment 311 is in the locking position, it can lock the cup cover 20 to prevent it from being opened, thus ensuring that the dust cup assembly 100 is in a closed state during use of the cleaning equipment 1000 and improving the sealing performance of the dust cup assembly 100. When the abutment 311 is in the release position, it disengages from the mating part 22, releasing the cup cover 20, at which point the cup cover 20 can open the ash discharge port 12. When the abutment 311 moves from the release position to the locking position, it drives the cup cover 20 to close the ash discharge port 12. That is, when the abutment 311 moves to the position where the cup cover 20 is locked, it simultaneously drives the cup cover 20 to close the ash discharge port 12, so that the abutment 311 simultaneously has the functions of locking the cup cover 20 and driving the cup cover 20 to close the ash discharge port 12. Furthermore, the locking component 30 engages with the mating part 22 of the cup lid 20. In other words, the structure that locks the cup lid 20 and drives the cup lid 20 to close the ash discharge port 12 is integrated on the same side of the dust cup assembly 100. Compared with the related technology that sets the locking structure and the closing structure separately, this simplifies the structure of the dust cup assembly 100, improves the reliability of the dust cup assembly 100, and separately affects the capacity, opening size, and appearance of the dust cup assembly 100.

[0055] Combination Figure 7 and Figure 9 Optionally, the locking assembly 30 further includes a reset member 34, which has an elastic force that drives the abutment 31 to move from the position of disengaging from the engaging portion 22 to the position of abutting the engaging portion 22. Specifically, in conjunction with Figure 7 When the cleaning device 1000 is not connected to the base station 2000, the top 31 locks the cup lid 20 in the position where the ash discharge port 12 is closed. Figure 9When the cleaning device 1000 is connected to the base station 2000, the unlocking part 2100 of the base station 2000 can trigger the top 31 to move from the position of the mating part 22 to the position of the disengaging part 22, so that the top 31 is disengaged from the mating part 22 to unlock the cup lid 20. When the cleaning device 1000 is disengaged from the base station 2000, the top 31 can move towards the cup lid 20 under the elastic potential energy of the reset member 34 and drive the cup lid 20 to rotate to the position of closing the ash discharge port 12 and lock the cup lid 20, so as to realize the automatic closing of the cup lid 20. In other words, when the cleaning device 1000 is disconnected from the base station 2000, the user does not need to manually close the cup lid 20, nor does the base station 2000 need to assist in closing the lid, reducing the user's operational burden. Moreover, the mechanical opening and closing structure reduces the failure rate of the dust cup assembly 100 compared to a motor-driven method, and it can automatically close the lid even without power, while also reducing the weight of the dust cup assembly 100 and improving its reliability. Furthermore, by providing a reset member 34, the structure of the dust cup assembly 100 can be simplified. Only one reset member 34 is needed on the dust cup assembly 100, which can simultaneously achieve automatic reset of the trigger part 32, the top abutment 31, and the cup lid 20 when the cleaning device 1000 is disconnected from the base station 2000.

[0056] For example, the reset member 34 may be a spring. One end of the reset member 34 is connected to the cup body 10, and the other end is connected to the top 31.

[0057] Combination Figure 4 and Figure 5 Furthermore, the locking assembly 30 also includes a transmission member 33, which is rotatably connected to the cup body 10. The transmission member 33 has an actuating end 331 and a rotating end 332. The actuating end 331 is opposite to the trigger part 32, and the rotating end 332 is rotatably connected to the abutment member 311. When the trigger part 32 moves from the first position to the second position, it abuts against the actuating end 331 to drive the transmission member 33 to rotate, thereby driving the abutment member 311 to disengage from the mating part 22. Specifically, when the trigger part 32 moves from the first position to the second position, it drives the actuating end 331 of the transmission member 33 to move, thereby driving the rotating end 332 to rotate and driving the abutment member 311 to disengage from the mating part 22, thereby releasing the lock on the cup lid 20. By providing the transmission member 33, it is convenient to convert the movement of the trigger part 32 into the rotational movement of the abutment member 311. For example, the trigger part 32 is slidably connected to the cup body 10, and the transmission member 33 can convert the linear motion of the trigger part 32 into the rotational motion of the abutment member 311, simplifying the triggering method of the trigger part 32, reducing the space occupied by the trigger part 32 during movement, making the structure of the locking assembly 30 more compact, and facilitating user operation. In addition, the transmission member 33 is rotatably connected to the cup body 10, and the relative position of the cup body 10 is fixed, which can improve the movement stability of the transmission member 33 and improve the reliability of the locking assembly 30.

[0058] For example, the trigger part 32 can move vertically in a first position and a second position, with the first position located below the second position. The trigger part 32 can cooperate with the unlocking part 2100 of the base station 2000. When the dust cup assembly 100 is not connected to the base station 2000, the trigger part 32 is in the first position where it is not subject to external force. The abutment 311 abuts against the mating part 22 of the cup cover 20 to lock the cup cover 20, and the cup cover 20 cannot be opened. When the dust cup assembly 100 is connected to the base station 2000, the unlocking part 2100 drives the trigger part 32 to move upward to the second position. The trigger part 32 drives the transmission member 33 to rotate and drives the abutment 311 to rotate. The abutment 311 disengages from the mating part 22 of the cup cover 20 to unlock the cup cover 20. The cup cover 20 can be opened under gravity or the negative pressure of the base station 2000, making it convenient to clean the dirt in the dust collection chamber 11 through the base station 2000.

[0059] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments of this utility model, the mating part 22 includes a protruding rib 221, which protrudes from the surface of the mating part 22 facing the dust collection chamber 11. The locking component 30 can abut against the protruding rib 221. Specifically, when the locking component 30 locks the cup lid 20 in the closed ash discharge port 12 position, the locking component 30 abuts against the surface of the mating part 22 facing the dust collection chamber. The locking component 30 can be hidden inside the cup lid 20, avoiding external forces from affecting the structural stability of the locking component 30. In addition, by providing the protruding rib 221 on the mating part 22, the locking component 30 cooperates with the protruding rib 221. The protruding rib 221 helps to improve the structural strength of the cup lid 20 and simplifies the cooperation between the locking component 30 and the mating part 22, thereby facilitating the stable locking and releasing of the cup lid 20 by the locking component 30.

[0060] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 5Optionally, the rib 221 includes a first guide surface 2211 and a first abutting surface 2212. The first guide surface 2211 is located on the side of the first abutting surface 2212 near the hinge end 211. The end of the abutting top 31 can move along the first guide surface 2211 toward the first abutting surface 2212 to abut against the mating part 22 and drive the cup lid 20 to close the ash discharge port 12. When the abutting top 31 abuts against the first abutting surface 2212, it drives the cup lid 20 to close the ash discharge port 12. Specifically, the height of the first guide surface 2211 gradually increases in the direction from the hinge end 211 to the first abutting surface 2212. When the abutting top 31 rotates from the position of disengaging from the mating part 22 to the position of abutting the mating part 22, the first guide surface 2211 can guide the abutting top 31 to move, improving the smoothness of the movement of the abutting top 31 from the position of disengaging from the mating part 22 to the position of abutting the mating part 22. This facilitates the abutting top 31 to stably drive the cup lid 20 to close the ash discharge port 12. After the abutting top 31 abuts the first abutting surface 2212, the abutting top 31 locks the cup lid 20 in the position of closing the ash discharge port 12.

[0061] Optionally, the first guide surface 2211 is configured as a double track structure with intervals, and the first abutting surface 2212 is configured as a double track structure with intervals, thereby improving the stability of the fit between the abutting surface 31 and the first guide surface 2211, and improving the stability of the fit between the abutting surface 31 and the first abutting surface 2212, so that the locking component 30 can stably drive the cup lid 20 to close the ash discharge port 12, and lock the cup lid 20 in the position of closing the ash discharge port 12.

[0062] Combination Figure 9 Optionally, the top abutment 31 includes a second guide surface 3111 and a second abutment surface 3112. The second guide surface 3111 extends spirally outward around the rotation center axis of the top abutment 31. The second abutment surface 3112 is connected to the outer end of the second guide surface 3111. The second abutment surface 3112 is rotatable so that the second guide surface 3111 abuts against the mating part 22 and drives the cup lid 20 to close the ash discharge port 12. When the second abutment surface 3112 abuts against the mating part 22, it drives the cup lid 20 to close the ash discharge port 12. When the top abutment 31 rotates from the position of disengaging from the mating part 22 to the position of abutting the mating part 22, the second guide surface 3111 can increase the contact area between the top abutment 31 and the mating part 22, making it easier for the top abutment 31 to stably drive the mating part 22 to rotate, thereby driving the cup lid 20 to close the ash discharge port 12. After the top abutment 31 moves to the position of abutting the mating part 22, the second abutting surface 3112 abuts the mating part 22, so that the top abutment 31 stably locks the cup lid 20 in the position of closing the ash discharge port 12.

[0063] Optionally, the second guide surface 3111 is configured as a double track structure with spaced intervals, and the second abutment surface 3112 is configured as a double track structure with spaced intervals, thereby improving the fit stability of the second guide surface 3111 of the mating part 22, and improving the fit stability of the mating part 22 and the second abutment surface 3112, so that the locking component 30 can stably drive the cup lid 20 to close the ash discharge port 12, and lock the cup lid 20 in the position of closing the ash discharge port 12.

[0064] Specifically, when the top 31 rotates from the position of disengaging from the mating part 22 to the position of abutting the mating part 22, that is, when the top 31 drives the cup lid 20 to close the ash discharge port 12, the second guide surface 3111 can cooperate with the first guide surface 2211. When the top 31 abuts the mating part 22 and locks the cup lid 20, the second abutting surface 3112 can cooperate with the first abutting surface 2212, so that the top 31 can stably drive the cup lid 20 to close the ash discharge port 12 and lock the cup lid 20 in the position of closing the ash discharge port 12.

[0065] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 4 Furthermore, the mating part 22 also includes a limiting protrusion 222. The limiting protrusion 222 is located on the side of the rib 221 away from the cover part 21. The limiting protrusion 222 can limit the locking component 30, preventing the locking component 30 from moving away from the cover part 21 when it abuts against the mating part 22. This allows the locking component 30 to stably lock the cup cover 20 in the position where the dust discharge port 12 is closed, thereby improving the sealing performance of the dust cup assembly 100.

[0066] In conjunction with the foregoing, the locking assembly 30 may include an abutment 311, which is rotatably connected to the cup body 10. When the abutment 311 abuts against the rib 221, it locks the cup lid 20. The limiting protrusion 222 is located on the side of the rib 221 away from the lid body 21, which can limit the rotation range of the abutment 311, so that the abutment 311 can stably abut against the rib 221, thereby stably locking the cup lid 20 and improving the sealing performance of the dust cup assembly 100.

[0067] Combination Figure 1 In some embodiments of this utility model, the dust cup assembly 100 further includes a torsion spring 40, which is connected to the cup lid 20 and has an elastic force to drive the cup lid 20 to close the ash discharge port 12. When the cleaning device 1000 is connected to the base station 2000, and when the base station 2000 has no negative pressure after being connected to the base station 2000, the torsion spring 40 can keep the cup lid 20 in the closed ash discharge port 12 position to prevent dust in the dust cup assembly 100 from leaking out prematurely. When a negative pressure is generated in the base station 2000, the negative pressure in the base station 2000 overcomes the elastic force of the torsion spring 40, causing the cup lid 20 to open the ash discharge port 12 to clean the dirt in the dust collection chamber 11.

[0068] For example, in conjunction with the foregoing, the locking component 30 may include an abutment 311, which is rotatably connected to the cup body 10. The abutment 311 can move between the position where it abuts against the mating part 22 to lock the cup lid 20 in the closed ash discharge port 12 position and the position where it disengages from the mating part 22 to unlock the cup lid 20. The torsion spring 40 can be connected to the hinge between the cup lid 20 and the dust cup assembly 100. The torsion spring 40 is used to keep the cup lid 20 in the closed ash discharge port 12 state when the cup lid 20 is not abutted by the abutment 311, that is, when the abutment 311 is in the disengaged position of the mating part 22.

[0069] Combination Figure 2 In some embodiments of this utility model, when the cup lid 20 closes the ash discharge port 12, the lid body 21 closes the ash discharge port 12, and the mating part 22 is located on the outside of the ash discharge port 12. The mating part 22 is located on the outside of the ash discharge port 12 to prevent dirt in the dust collection chamber 11 from falling onto the mating part 22, thereby preventing dirt in the dust collection chamber 11 from not being completely discharged when the cup lid 20 opens the ash discharge port 12. In addition, the locking component 30 abuts against the mating part 22. The mating part 22 is located on the outside of the ash discharge port 12, which can prevent dirt in the dust collection chamber 11 from affecting the locking component 30.

[0070] Combination Figure 2 In some embodiments of this utility model, the locking component 30 is entirely located within the outer contour of the cup body 10, making the structure of the dust cup assembly 100 compact and facilitating the processing and forming of the cup body 10. For example, the cup body 10 can be constructed in a cylindrical shape, with the locking component 30 entirely located within the outer contour of the cup body 10, making the cup body 10 easier to process and forming, and resulting in a more compact overall structure of the dust cup assembly 100.

[0071] Combination Figure 4 For example, the cup body 10 includes an outer shell 13 and an inner shell 14. The outer shell 13 is cylindrical and extends vertically. The inner shell 14 is located in the lower part of the outer shell 13, and a mounting cavity 15 is formed between the inner shell 14 and the outer shell 13. The mounting cavity 15 is located in the lower part of the cup body 10 and is located outside the dust collection cavity 11. The locking component 30 is located in the mounting cavity 15. When the cup lid 20 closes the ash discharge port 12, the mating part 22 can be opposite to the mounting cavity 15, which can prevent dirt from the dust collection cavity 11 from falling into the mounting cavity 15 and reduce the impact on the locking component 30. After the cup lid 20 opens the ash discharge port 12, the dirt in the dust collection cavity 11 can be discharged through the ash discharge port 12, preventing dust from sticking to the dust collection cavity 11.

[0072] The lower end of the inner shell 14 can define the ash discharge port 12. When the cup lid 20 closes the ash discharge port 12, the lid part 21 covers the ash discharge port 12, and the mating part 22 is opposite to the mounting cavity 15.

[0073] Combination Figure 10The present invention also proposes a cleaning device 1000, including: a main unit 200 and the aforementioned dust cup assembly 100, wherein the dust cup assembly 100 is connected to the main unit 200.

[0074] Combination Figure 10 and Figure 11 The present invention also proposes a cleaning system, including: a base station 2000 and the aforementioned cleaning device 1000.

[0075] The base station 2000 includes an unlocking unit 2100. The cleaning device 1000 is detachable from and can be docked with the base station 2000. When the cleaning device 1000 docks with the base station 2000, the unlocking unit 2100 drives the locking component 30 to disengage from the mating part 22 to unlock the cup lid 20. By providing the unlocking unit 2100 on the base station 2000, the cup lid 20 can be unlocked when the cleaning device 1000 docks with the base station 2000, eliminating the need for additional user operation to unlock the cup lid 20 and improving the convenience of using the cleaning device 1000.

[0076] For example, the base station 2000 may be equipped with a separate motor, which generates negative pressure inside the base station 2000 to perform self-cleaning of the cleaning device 1000. In some embodiments, the base station 2000 may not be equipped with a motor, and negative pressure may be generated by utilizing the suction motor of the cleaning device 1000.

[0077] In some embodiments of this utility model, the base station 2000 includes a docking part 2100, a dust storage chamber 2200, and a base station motor; the dust cup assembly 100 is detachably docked with the docking part 2100; wherein, the docking part 2100 includes an unlocking member 2110, which triggers the locking member 30 to unlock the cup cover 20 based on the docking of the dust cup assembly 100 and the docking part 2100; the dust storage chamber 2200 is fluidly connected to the docking part 2100 and is used to store the waste discharged by the dust cup assembly 100; the base station motor is used to generate negative pressure in the docking part 2100 to extract the waste in the dust cup assembly 100 and transfer it into the dust storage chamber 2200. Specifically, after completing the cleaning work, the cleaning device 1000 can be connected to the base station 2000. The docking part 2100 can dock with the dust cup assembly 100, and the docking part 2100 is provided with an unlocking component 2110. After the dust cup assembly 100 docks with the docking part 2100, the unlocking component 2110 triggers the locking component 30 to release the lock on the cup cover 20. The base station motor works, causing the docking part 2100 to generate negative pressure, so as to collect the dirt in the dust cup assembly 100 into the dust storage chamber 2200, thereby realizing the self-cleaning of the cleaning device 1000.

[0078] The docking part 2100 includes an unlocking component 2110. The unlocking component 2110 triggers the locking component 30 to unlock the cup lid 20 based on the docking of the dust cup assembly 100 and the docking part 2100. After the unlocking component 2110 triggers the locking component 30 to unlock the cup lid 20, the cup lid 20 can be opened under the action of gravity; or, after the locking component 30 unlocks the cup lid 20, the cup lid 20 can still be in the state of closing the ash discharge port 12. When the base station motor is working, the negative pressure of the docking part 2100 can be used to open the cup lid 20. For example, a torsion spring 40 can be provided at the hinge end 211 of the cup lid 20. After the unlocking component 2110 triggers the locking component 30 to unlock the cup lid 20, the torsion spring 40 keeps the cup lid 20 in the position of closing the ash discharge port 12, and the cup lid 20 opens the ash discharge port 12 under the action of the negative pressure of the docking part 2100.

[0079] Combination Figure 11 and Figure 12 In some embodiments of this utility model, the base station 2000 includes a docking part 2100 and a dust storage chamber 2200; the dust cup assembly 100 is detachably docked with the docking part 2100, and the main unit 200 also includes a suction motor 210 and a return air duct 220 for connecting the base station 2000. The suction motor 210 is configured to connect to the dust cup assembly 100 in working mode and to connect to the return air duct 220 in self-cleaning mode, and is used to generate negative pressure in the docking part 2100 to extract the garbage in the dust cup assembly 100 and transfer it to the dust storage chamber 2200; wherein, the docking part 2100 includes an unlocking member 2110, which triggers the locking member 30 to unlock the cup cover 20 based on the docking of the dust cup assembly 100 and the docking part 2100.

[0080] Specifically, the base station 2000 may not require a motor; instead, negative pressure is generated in the base station 2000 using the suction motor 210 of the cleaning device 1000. For example, the cleaning device 1000 has a working mode and a self-cleaning mode. The main unit 200 may have an air inlet duct connected to the dust cup assembly 100. One end of the air inlet duct can be connected to the suction head of the cleaning device 1000, and the other end is connected to the dust cup assembly 100. In the working mode, the suction motor 210 operates, and the suction head draws dust, hair, debris, and other contaminants from the working surface into the dust cup assembly 100 through the air inlet duct. The filter device of the cleaning device 1000 filters the airflow, and the clean airflow filtered by the filter device is discharged outside the cleaning device 1000 via the suction motor. After the cleaning equipment 1000 completes the cleaning work, it can be connected to the base station 2000. The dust cup assembly 100 is connected to the docking part 2100. The docking part 2100 is equipped with an unlocking component 2110. After the dust cup assembly 100 is connected to the docking part 2100, the unlocking component 2110 triggers the locking component 30 to release the lock on the cup cover 20. The suction motor 210 connects to the return air duct 220 and generates negative pressure in the docking part 2100 to collect the dirt in the dust cup assembly 100 into the dust storage chamber 2200, thereby realizing the self-cleaning of the cleaning equipment 1000.

[0081] Specifically, in self-cleaning mode, the suction motor 210 of the cleaning device 1000 is connected to the return air duct 220, the dust cup assembly 100 is connected to the docking part 2100, and the dust storage chamber 2200 is connected to the return air duct 220. Under the action of the suction motor 210, the docking part 2100 generates negative pressure, so that the dust, debris, hair and other dirt in the dust cup assembly 100 are collected into the dust storage chamber 2200. The airflow in the base station 2000 flows back to the suction motor 210 through the return air duct 220 and is discharged to the outside of the cleaning device 1000 through the suction motor 210. By setting a return air duct 220 on the cleaning equipment 1000, the base station 2000 does not need to be equipped with a motor. By using the suction motor 210 of the cleaning equipment 1000 to introduce negative pressure into the base station 2000, a negative pressure is generated inside the base station 2000. The negative pressure inside the base station 2000 can clean the dust cup assembly 100 of the cleaning equipment 100, simplifying the structure of the base station 2000 and reducing the noise of the base station 2000 during operation.

[0082] Optionally, the cleaning device 1000 also includes an air duct switching component, which is located in the main unit 200 and used to change the airflow direction within the cleaning device 1000. Specifically, in the working mode, the air duct switching component connects the suction motor 210 to the dust cup assembly 100. Dust, hair, debris, and other contaminants from the working surface are drawn into the dust cup assembly 100 through the air inlet duct. The filter device filters the airflow, and the clean airflow after filtration is discharged outside the cleaning device 1000 via the suction motor 210. In the self-cleaning mode, the air duct switching component connects the suction motor 210 to the self-cleaning air duct. By setting the air duct switching component, the base station 2000 does not need to be equipped with a motor, allowing the cleaning device 1000 to switch the airflow direction in different modes, thereby using the suction motor 210 of the cleaning device 1000 to generate negative pressure in the base station 2000.
