Dust collecting mechanism and cleaning device

Abstract

The application relates to a dust collecting mechanism and cleaning equipment. When dust is cleaned, a push button is pushed, a filter is driven to move in a dust cup through a transmission structure. Since a dust scraping part is sleeved on the outer periphery of the filter, the dust scraping part can scrape off dirt adhered to the inner wall of the dust cup during the movement. When the filter moves from the second opening to the first opening, the filter pushes the dirt in the dust cup and the scraped-off dirt to the first opening, and pushes away a movably arranged end cover, so that automatic dust emptying is realized. In this way, when dust is cleaned, the push button is pushed, one-key dust emptying and dust scraping operations are completed, dust cleaning steps are simplified, and efficiency is improved.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of electrical technology, and in particular to dust collection mechanisms and cleaning equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Cleaning equipment typically integrates a dust collection mechanism, which collects debris, dust, and other dirt into a dust cup within the mechanism, such as in mite removers. After cleaning, the dust cup usually needs to be disassembled and the dirt emptied. However, this method easily gets hands dirty, is cumbersome, and inefficient; furthermore, dust residue often remains on the cup walls after emptying, affecting the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a dust collection mechanism and cleaning equipment that enables one-button dust emptying and scraping, simplifying the dust cleaning process and improving efficiency.

[0004] A dust collection mechanism for use in cleaning equipment includes: a dust collection assembly comprising a dust cup, an end cap, and a filter; the dust cup having a first opening and a second opening at both ends along its length; the end cap being movably disposed at the first opening; the filter being disposed inside the dust cup and having a scraping part that abuts against the inner wall of the dust cup; and a drive assembly comprising a push button and a transmission structure connected to the push button; the transmission structure passing through the second opening and connected to the filter; and the push button being able to drive the filter to move along the length of the dust cup when subjected to force.

[0005] The aforementioned dust collection mechanism, during dust removal, allows the filter to move within the dust cup via a push button and transmission structure. Because the filter is equipped with a scraper, it removes dirt adhering to the inner wall of the dust cup during movement. When the filter moves from the second opening to the first opening, it pushes the dirt and scraped-off material from the dust cup towards the first opening, opening the movable end cap for automatic dust emptying. This design allows for one-button dust emptying and scraping operations with a simple push of the push button, simplifying the cleaning process and improving efficiency.

[0006] In some embodiments, the transmission structure includes a transmission element and a mounting element connected to the transmission element, the mounting element being detachably connected to the filter.

[0007] In this way, the mounting components ensure a stable connection between the transmission components and the filter, facilitating stable filter operation and improving dust removal efficiency. Furthermore, the mounting components and the filter are detachable, allowing for easy maintenance of either the transmission components or the filter through disassembly.

[0008] In some embodiments, one of the mounting components and the filter is provided with a locking hole, and the other is provided with a locking element; the locking hole includes a guide portion and a locking portion that are in communication with each other, and the locking element includes a guide rod and a limiting portion provided on the guide rod. The limiting portion can pass through the guide portion, and when the guide rod moves from the guide portion to the locking portion, one end of the limiting portion abuts against the locking portion.

[0009] Therefore, during assembly, the limiting part passes through the guide part, positioning the guide rod within it. Then, the mounting component and filter are driven to move relative to each other, causing the guide rod to move into the locking part, whereby the limiting part abuts against one end of the locking part, achieving quick connection. When equipment maintenance is required, the mounting component and filter are driven to move in opposite directions, moving the guide rod into the guide part. At this time, the mounting component and filter are separated, allowing the limiting part to pass through the guide part for quick disassembly.

[0010] In some embodiments, there are multiple locking holes and locking elements, and they are arranged one-to-one. The mounting element is constructed as a ring structure, and the locking holes or locking elements are distributed at intervals along the circumference of the mounting element.

[0011] As can be seen, introducing multiple locking holes and locking elements increases the connection points between the mounting components and the filter, ensuring a stable connection between the two. At the same time, it also facilitates a more stable drive of the filter by the transmission components, improving the dust removal effect.

[0012] In some embodiments, the transmission structure includes a boss and a limiting surface surrounding the outer periphery of the boss, with the push button connected to the boss and abutting against the limiting surface.

[0013] It can be seen that by using the limiting surface, the movement of the push button relative to the transmission structure along the side towards the boss can be restricted, ensuring a tight connection between the push button and the transmission structure, thereby making the dust scraping and emptying operations more stable.

[0014] In some embodiments, the transmission structure further includes a fastener, a fixing hole on the push button, the push button being sleeved on the boss through the fixing hole, and the fastener being used to fix the push button to the boss.

[0015] This design ensures a stable connection between the push button and the transmission components, making the push button drive the filter to move more smoothly and easily.

[0016] In some embodiments, the filter includes a support and a filter cartridge, the support having an outlet, one end of the filter cartridge covering the outlet, a dust scraper sleeved on the surface of the support facing away from the outlet, and a transmission structure connected to the support.

[0017] As can be seen, the support structure ensures greater stability of the filter's overall structure, thereby achieving better filtration performance. Simultaneously, it facilitates the transmission structure in applying thrust to the filter, resulting in better dust emptying and scraping.

[0018] In some embodiments, the end cap is rotatably connected to the dust cup and has a first mating part thereon, and a second mating part that magnetically engages with the first mating part is provided at the first opening.

[0019] This allows the end cap to magnetically attach to the first opening, making it convenient to open and close the end cap.

[0020] A cleaning device includes: a dust collection mechanism as described above; a body assembly having a push channel extending along the length of a dust cup, wherein the dust collection assembly and the transmission structure are both located on the body assembly, and a push button extends at least partially from the push channel outside the body assembly; and a vacuum motor for suctioning a second opening.

[0021] The aforementioned cleaning equipment utilizes the dust collection mechanism described above. After cleaning is complete, the push button, exposed outside the equipment, allows for easy movement of the filter within the dust cup during dust removal via a transmission structure. Furthermore, the filter's outer circumference is equipped with a scraper, which removes dirt adhering to the inner wall of the dust cup during movement. As the filter moves from the second opening to the first opening, it pushes the dirt and scraped-off material from the dust cup towards the first opening, opening the movable end cap for automatic dust emptying. This design allows for one-button dust emptying and scraping operations with a simple push of the push button, simplifying the cleaning process and improving efficiency.

[0022] In some embodiments, the drive assembly further includes a guide connected to the filter, and the housing assembly has a guide hole through which the guide passes.

[0023] In this way, the guide component and guide hole work together to ensure that the movement of the push button and filter is more stable, thereby further improving the dust removal effect.

[0024] In some embodiments, the cleaning device further includes a first mounting body located within the body assembly, the first mounting body having a collection port and a resilient buckle, a dust cup being installed in the first mounting body and communicating with the collection port, and the dust cup having a protrusion that engages with the resilient buckle.

[0025] In this way, the elastic buckle and the protrusion allow the dust cup to be quickly installed in the first mounting body; at the same time, during the dust scraping process, the elastic buckle and the protrusion work together to keep the dust cup stable, so that the dust scraping part can make more stable contact with the inner wall of the dust cup, ensuring stable relative movement, which is conducive to improving the dust scraping effect.

[0026] In some embodiments, the cleaning device further includes a second mounting body 60 located within the body assembly 30. The outer surface of the second mounting body is provided with a first channel communicating with the push channel. The first channel extends along the length direction of the dust cup. A portion of the push button is located in the first channel. A transmission structure passes through the first channel and is connected to the push button.

[0027] In this way, the movement of the push button and the transmission structure is more stable through the guiding cooperation between the first channel and the push button. Attached Figure Description

Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of this application. However, this application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this application. Therefore, this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0042] In the description of this application, it should be understood that if terms such as "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential" appear, these terms indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this application.

[0043] Furthermore, where the terms "first" and "second" appear, these terms are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this application, where the term "multiple" appears, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0044] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; 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; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise expressly limited.

Similarly, "below," "below," and "under" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0046] It should be noted that if an element is referred to as being "fixed to" or "set on" another element, it can be directly on the other element or there may be an intervening element. If an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intervening element. If so, the terms "vertical," "horizontal," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," and similar expressions used in this application are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only possible implementation.

[0047] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1 to 4This application provides a dust collection mechanism for use in cleaning equipment. The dust collection mechanism includes a dust collection assembly 10 and a drive assembly 20. The dust collection assembly 10 includes a dust cup 11, an end cap 14, and a filter 12. The dust cup 11 has a first opening 111 and a second opening 112 at its two ends along its length direction X. The end cap 14 is movably covered by the first opening 111. The filter 12 is disposed inside the dust cup 11 and has a scraping part 121 that abuts against the inner wall of the dust cup 11. The drive assembly 20 includes a push button 21 and a transmission structure 2a connected to the push button 21. The transmission structure 2a passes through the second opening 112 and is connected to the filter 12. When the push button 21 is subjected to force, it can drive the filter 12 to move along the length direction X of the dust cup 11.

[0048] The aforementioned dust collection mechanism, during dust removal, allows the push button 21 to be pushed, driving the filter 12 to move within the dust cup 11 via the transmission structure 2a. Since the filter 12 is surrounded by a scraper 121, it can scrape off dirt adhering to the inner wall of the dust cup 11 during movement. When the filter 12 moves from the second opening 112 to the first opening 111, it pushes the dirt and scraped-off material from the dust cup 11 towards the first opening 111, opening the movable end cap 14 for automatic dust emptying. This design allows for one-button dust emptying and scraping operations with just the push button 21, simplifying the dust removal process and improving efficiency.

[0049] It should be noted that the filter 12 refers to a structure that filters the airflow exiting from the second opening 112, trapping dust or debris in the dust cup 11. During the cleaning process, the filter 12 can be moved to the second opening 112. When the second opening 112 is suctioned, the airflow flows from inside the dust cup 11 to the second opening 112. Under the action of the filter 12, dust or debris is filtered into the dust cup 11. It is easy to understand that the dust cup 11 also has a dirt inlet 113, allowing dirt collected by the cleaning equipment to enter the dust cup 11 through the dirt inlet 113. The dirt inlet 113 is located between the first opening 111 and the second opening 112.

[0050] After cleaning, the filter 12 can be moved from the second opening 112 to the first opening 111 by pushing the push button 21. During the movement, the scraper 121 on the filter 12 can scrape off the dirt adhering to the cup wall; at the same time, it can also push the dirt in the dust cup 11 to the first opening 111. Since the end cap 14 is movable at the first opening 111, the filter 12 can open the end cap 14 when pushed, allowing the dirt to be discharged from the first opening 111. This operation eliminates the need for the user to disassemble the end cap 14 or the dust cup 11 during cleaning, simplifying the operation and ensuring that the user's hands are not soiled, greatly improving the user experience.

[0051] The dust scraper 121 refers to the annular structure surrounding the filter 12, which abuts against the inner wall of the dust cup 11, allowing the filter 12 to scrape off dirt adhering to the inner wall as it moves. In some examples, the dust scraper 121 is press-fitted to the inner wall of the dust cup 11. The material of the dust scraper 121 can be varied, including, but not limited to, rubber and plastic. Furthermore, the dust scraper 121 can be fixed to the filter 12 in various ways, such as non-removable methods like bonding or welding, or removable methods like snap-fit ​​or bolt connection. As usage frequency increases, the press-fit between the dust scraper 121 and the inner wall of the dust cup 11 decreases. Therefore, if the dust scraper 121 is detachably fixed to the filter 12, it can be replaced and maintained periodically to ensure effective dust scraping.

[0052] It should also be noted that when the dust collection mechanism is installed in the cleaning equipment, the push button 21 can be at least partially exposed outside the cleaning equipment. This allows the user to perform the dust emptying and scraping operations with a single push of the push button 21 during the dust cleaning process, without needing to perform any other operations. Simultaneously, after the dirt in the dust cup 11 has been emptied from the first opening 111 by the filter 12, the filter 12 can be extended outside the first opening 111, and the dirt adhering to its surface can be removed by shaking or striking, ensuring the subsequent filtration effect of the filter 12 and improving the cleaning effect.

[0053] Further, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The transmission structure 2a includes a transmission component 22 and a mounting component 24 connected to the transmission component 22. The mounting component 24 is detachably connected to the filter 12. Thus, the mounting component 24 ensures a stable connection between the transmission component 22 and the filter 12, facilitating stable actuation of the filter 12 and improving dust removal efficiency. Furthermore, the detachable connection between the mounting component 24 and the filter 12 allows for easy maintenance of either the transmission component 22 or the filter 12 through disassembly.

[0054] It should be noted that the connection between the mounting component 24 and the filter 12 is detachable, and there are various methods, such as snap-fit, bolt connection, magnetic connection, etc. Similarly, the connection between the transmission component 22 and the mounting component 24 can also be varied, including but not limited to bolt connection, threaded fit, snap-fit, welding, adhesive, etc.

[0055] In addition, the position where the push button 21 is connected to the transmission member 22 can be designed in various ways, as long as it can transmit the pushing force on the push button 21 to the filter 12 through the transmission member 22. For example, the push button 21 is connected to the end of the transmission member 22 away from the mounting member 24.

[0056] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 In the mounting component 24 and the filter 12, one has a locking hole 25, and the other has a locking element 13. The locking hole 25 includes a guide portion 251 and a locking portion 252 that are interconnected. The locking element 13 includes a guide rod 131 and a limiting portion 132 provided on the guide rod 131. The limiting portion 132 can pass through the guide portion 251. When the guide rod 131 moves from the guide portion 251 to the locking portion 252, the limiting portion 132 abuts against one end of the locking portion 252. Thus, during the assembly process, the limiting portion 132 can pass through the guide portion 251, so that the guide rod 131 is located in the guide portion 251. Then, the mounting component 24 and the filter 12 are driven to move relative to each other, so that the guide rod 131 moves into the locking portion 252, and the limiting portion 132 abuts against one end of the locking portion 252, thereby achieving a quick connection. When equipment maintenance is required, the mounting component 24 and the filter 12 can be driven to move in opposite directions, causing the guide rod 131 to move into the guide portion 251. At this time, the mounting component 24 and the filter 12 are separated, allowing the limiting part 132 to pass through the guide portion 251 for quick disassembly.

[0057] It should be noted that both the locking part 252 and the guiding part 251 are part of the structure of the locking hole 25. When the locking part 252 and the guiding part 251 are distributed along the circumference of the mounting hole, during the disassembly and assembly process, the mounting part 24 and the filter 12 can be driven to rotate relative to each other, so that the guide rod 131 can switch between the locking part 252 and the guiding part 251.

[0058] Meanwhile, the size of the guide portion 251 is relatively larger than the size of the locking portion 252, allowing the limiting portion 132 to pass through the guide portion 251 but not through the locking portion 252, thereby causing the limiting portion 132 to abut against one end of the locking portion 252. Furthermore, the size of the guide rod 131 is smaller than both the size of the guide portion 251 and the size of the locking portion 252, ensuring that the guide rod 131 can move back and forth between the guide portion 251 and the locking portion 252.

[0059] For specific examples, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The diameter of the guide portion 251 is larger than the diameter of the locking portion 252, and both the diameters of the guide portion 251 and the locking portion 252 are larger than the diameter of the guide rod 131. Meanwhile, the diameter of the locking portion is larger than the diameter of the locking portion 252 and smaller than the diameter of the guide portion 251.

[0060] Alternatively, the locking element 13 may be disposed on the mounting element 24, and the locking hole 25 may be disposed on the filter 12; or, the locking element 13 may be disposed on the filter 12, and the locking hole 25 may be disposed on the mounting element 24.

[0061] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 There are multiple locking holes 25 and locking elements 13, arranged in a one-to-one configuration. The mounting member 24 is constructed as a ring structure, with the locking holes 25 or locking elements 13 distributed at intervals along the circumference of the mounting member 24. It can be seen that introducing multiple locking holes 25 and locking elements 13 increases the connection points between the mounting member 24 and the filter 12, ensuring a stable connection between the two. Simultaneously, it also facilitates the transmission member 22 to more stably drive the filter 12, improving the dust removal effect.

[0062] It should be noted that the distribution order of the guide portion 251 and the locking portion 252 in each locking hole 25 should be consistent. For example, in each locking hole 25, the locking portion 252 is located on the side of the guide portion 251 that is clockwise or counterclockwise. In this way, by rotating the mounting part 24 relative to the filter 12, each guide rod 131 can be rotated synchronously into the guide portion 251 or the locking portion 252.

[0063] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 The transmission structure 2a includes a boss 222 and a limiting surface 221 surrounding the outer periphery of the boss 222. The push button 21 is connected to the boss 222 and abuts against the limiting surface 221. It can be seen that the limiting surface 221 can restrict the movement of the push button 21 relative to the transmission structure 2a along the side towards the boss 222, ensuring a tight connection between the push button 21 and the transmission structure 2a, thereby making the dust scraping and emptying operations more stable.

[0064] It should be noted that there are various ways to connect the push button 21 and the boss 222, such as: the two can be connected by, but not limited to, snap-fit, interference fit, bolt connection, threaded connection, pin connection, etc.

[0065] Meanwhile, when the transmission structure 2a also includes a transmission member 22 and a mounting member 24 connected to the transmission member 22, the boss 222 can be provided on the end face of the transmission member 22 away from the mounting member 24, and the limiting surface 221 is provided on the end face of the transmission member 22 away from the mounting member 24.

[0066] For further information, please continue to refer to [link / reference]. Figure 7 and Figure 8 The transmission structure 2a also includes a fastener 23. The push button 21 has a fixing hole 215, and the push button 21 is sleeved on the boss 222 through the fixing hole 215. The fastener 23 is used to fix the push button 21 to the boss 222. Thus, during the assembly process, the boss 222 is inserted into the fixing hole 215 of the push button 21, so that the push button 21 abuts against the limiting surface 221; then, the push button 21 is fixed on the boss 222 by the fastener 23. This design ensures a stable connection between the push button 21 and the transmission component 22, so that the push button 21 drives the filter 12 to move more smoothly and easily.

[0067] It should be noted that the fastener 23 can have various structures, such as, but not limited to, bolts and pins. When the fastener 23 is a bolt, a threaded hole that mates with it can be provided on the boss 222.

[0068] In some embodiments, the push button 21 can be a linear strip structure or an approximately linear strip structure, with one end of the push button 21 directly connected to the transmission structure 2a. In this way, the pushing force can be directly transmitted to the transmission structure 2a through the push button 21, resulting in more stable movement and no torque generation.

[0069] Of course, in some other embodiments, please refer to Figure 8 The push button 21 may include an operating part 211, an extension part 214, and a connecting part 212 and a fixing part 213 spaced apart from the extension part 214. The connecting part 212 and the fixing part 213 extend in opposite directions. The operating part 211 is located on the connecting part 212 and is exposed outside the cleaning equipment. The fixing part 213 is connected to the transmission structure 2a. It should be noted that there are various ways to connect the connecting part 212 and the fixing part 213 to the extension part 214, such as, but not limited to, bolt connection, snap-fit, riveting, welding, bonding, etc.; or, the connecting part 212, the fixing part 213 and the extension part 214 are an integrated structure.

[0070] Meanwhile, the end of the connecting part 212 away from the operating part 211 may include a positioning part 216. The cleaning device may have a second channel 612, which extends along the length direction X of the dust cup 11, and the positioning part 216 is inserted into the second channel 612. In this way, when the operating part 211 is pushed, the positioning part 216 and the second channel 612 guide and cooperate, making the movement of the operating part 211 more stable.

[0071] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 The filter 12 includes a support 122 and a filter cylinder 124. The support 122 has an outlet 123, and one end of the filter cylinder 124 covers the outlet 123. A dust scraper 121 is fitted onto the surface of the support 122 facing away from the outlet 123. A transmission structure 2a is connected to the support 122. It can be seen that the support 122 ensures a more stable overall structure for the filter 12, thereby achieving better filtration. Simultaneously, it facilitates the transmission structure 2a in applying thrust to the filter 12, achieving better dust emptying and scraping. Furthermore, designing the filter 12 as a filter cylinder 124 makes it easier to open the end cover 14 during movement.

[0072] It should be noted that the filter body 124 refers to a cylindrical structure with filtration function, which can be cylindrical or frustum-shaped, etc.

[0073] In addition, the outlet 123 of the support 122 can be connected to the second opening 112, so that the airflow passes through the filter cylinder 124 and then flows from the outlet 123 to the second opening 112.

[0074] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 9 The end cap 14 is rotatably connected to the dust cup 11, and has a first mating part 141 thereon. A second mating part 115 is provided at the first opening 111 to magnetically engage with the first mating part 141. In this way, the end cap 14 is magnetically engaged with the first opening 111, which facilitates the opening and closing of the end cap 14.

[0075] It should be noted that the magnetic attraction between the first mating part 141 and the second mating part 115 can be achieved in various ways. For example, the first mating part 141 may be a magnetic material, and the second mating part 115 may also be a magnetic material; or the first mating part 141 may be a magnetic material, and the second mating part 115 may be a material that can be magnetically attracted, such as iron, cobalt, nickel, etc.

[0076] At the same time, it is easy to understand that the second mating part 115 is located at the first opening 111. This means that the second mating part 115 is located close to the first opening 111. Its location is not necessarily on the inner wall of the first opening 111, but can also be a part of the cleaning equipment close to the first opening 111.

[0077] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 9 This application provides a cleaning device, which includes: a body assembly 30, a vacuum motor 50, and a dust collection mechanism of any one of the above. The body assembly 30 is provided with a push channel 31 extending along the length direction X of the dust cup 11. The dust collection assembly 10 and the transmission structure 2a are both provided in the body assembly 30, and the push button 21 extends at least partially from the push channel 31 outside the body assembly 30; the vacuum motor 50 is used to suction the second opening 112.

[0078] The aforementioned cleaning equipment employs the dust collection mechanism described above. After cleaning is complete, since the push button 21 is exposed outside the equipment, it can be pushed during dust removal to move the filter 12 within the dust cup 11 via the transmission structure 2a. Furthermore, because the filter 12 is surrounded by a scraper 121, it can scrape off dirt adhering to the inner wall of the dust cup 11 during movement. When the filter 12 moves from the second opening 112 to the first opening 111, it pushes the dirt and scraped-off material from the dust cup 11 towards the first opening 111, opening the movable end cap 14 for automatic dust emptying. This design allows for one-button dust emptying and scraping operations with just the push button 21, simplifying the cleaning process and improving efficiency.

[0079] It should be noted that the body assembly 30 refers to the external shell structure of the cleaning equipment, which can be a split structure or an integrated structure. The vacuum motor 50 is a device that can suck up air at the second opening 112, causing airflow from inside the dust cup 11 to the second opening 112, thus filtering dirt in the airflow into the dust cup 11 to achieve the purpose of dust collection.

[0080] Further, please refer to Figure 9 and Figure 10 The drive assembly 20 also includes a guide member 26 connected to the filter 12. The body assembly 30 has a guide hole 32, and the guide member 26 passes through the guide hole 32. In this way, the cooperation between the guide member 26 and the guide hole 32 ensures that the movement of the push button 21 and the filter 12 is more stable, further improving the dust removal effect.

[0081] It should be noted that the guide member 26 can be directly connected to the filter 12; or it can be indirectly connected to the filter 12. For example, the transmission structure 2a includes a transmission member 22 and a mounting member 24. The mounting member 24 is connected to the filter 12, and the guide member 26 is parallel to and spaced apart from the transmission member 22 and connected to the mounting member 24. In this way, the guide member 26 is indirectly connected to the filter 12 through the mounting member 24.

[0082] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 and Figures 10 to 12 The cleaning equipment also includes a first mounting body 40 located within the body assembly 30. The first mounting body 40 has a collection port 42 and a resilient buckle 41. A dust cup 11 is installed inside the first mounting body 40 and communicates with the collection port 42. The dust cup 11 has a protrusion 114 that cooperates with the resilient buckle 41. Thus, the dust cup 11 can be quickly installed in the first mounting body 40 through the resilient buckle 41 and the protrusion 114. At the same time, during the dust scraping process, the resilient buckle 41 and the protrusion 114 cooperate with each other to keep the dust cup 11 stable, so that the dust scraping part 121 can make more stable contact with the inner wall of the dust cup 11, ensuring stable relative movement and improving the dust scraping effect.

[0083] It should be noted that, for further convenience of installation, one end of the first mounting body 40 has an installation port 43. The dust cup 11 is inserted into the first mounting body 40 through the installation port 43, and the protrusion 114 engages with the elastic buckle 41. The elastic buckle 41 has various structures. For example, the elastic buckle 41 can be an elastic strip that can elastically deform up and down. When the dust cup 11 is inserted from the installation port 43, the protrusion 114 can push up the elastic buckle 41, allowing the protrusion 114 to pass over the elastic buckle 41. After passing over, the elastic buckle 41 springs back downward and abuts against the protrusion 114, restricting the movement of the protrusion 114 along the side facing the installation port 43.

[0084] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 9 and Figure 10 The cleaning equipment also includes a second mounting body 60 located within the body assembly 30. The outer surface of the second mounting body 60 is provided with a first channel 61 communicating with the push channel 31. The first channel 61 extends along the length direction X of the dust cup 11. A portion of the push button 21 is located in the first channel 61, and the transmission structure 2a passes through the first channel 61 and is connected to the push button 21. In this way, the first channel 61 guides and cooperates with the push button 21, making the movement of the push button 21 and the transmission structure 2a more stable.

[0085] It should be noted that in some examples, the transmission structure 2a includes a transmission component 22 and a mounting component 24. The end of the first channel 61 is provided with a through hole 611, the transmission component 22 passes through the through hole 611 and is connected to the push button 21 located in the first channel 61.

[0086] In addition, to ensure that the movement of the push button 21 is more stable, the outer surface of the second mounting body 60 also has a second channel 612. The second channel 612 extends along the length direction X of the dust cup 11. The push button 21 is provided with a positioning part 216, which is inserted into the second channel 612.

[0087] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 9 and Figure 10 The cleaning equipment also includes a roller brush assembly 70 and a drive motor 71 disposed within a second mounting body 60. The second mounting body 60 is located within the body assembly 30 and on one side of the first mounting body 40. The drive motor 71 is used to drive the roller brush assembly 70 to rotate. In this way, the drive motor 71 is stably mounted via the second mounting body 60, facilitating its stable operation.

[0088] It should be noted that the cleaning equipment may also include a power supply component and an air duct 51. The power supply component can be located in the second mounting body 60 to provide power to the cleaning equipment. The air duct 51 is located between the first mounting body 40 and the second mounting body 60 and communicates with the second opening 112. At this time, the vacuum motor 50 draws suction from the second opening 112 through the air duct 51.

[0089] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0090] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
