Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cleaning equipment technology, and more specifically, to a base station and a cleaning system. Background Technology

[0002] With the improvement of living standards, handheld vacuum cleaners are becoming increasingly popular due to their compact and portable advantages. Handheld vacuum cleaners typically use a fan to generate negative pressure to suck up debris and other impurities into a dustbin. After use, the dustbin is opened to empty it. However, during this process, dust can easily scatter, causing secondary pollution. To solve this problem, a vacuum cleaner base station is usually included. The base station serves as a holder for the vacuum cleaner and also allows for its cleaning. When users need to empty the dustbin, they can place the vacuum cleaner inside the base station, which then opens the vacuum cleaner's lid, allowing the dustbin to be emptied and the vacuum cleaner cleaned.

[0003] Currently, when a vacuum cleaner needs to be placed on a base station for cleaning, the user must first lift the entire vacuum cleaner and place it on the base station to complete the docking. After the base station finishes cleaning the vacuum cleaner, the user needs to lift the vacuum cleaner again to separate it from the base station. This operation method is not only laborious, but also has a poor user experience. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0048] Embodiments of the present invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While some embodiments of the present invention are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present invention can be implemented in various forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to provide a more thorough and complete understanding of the present invention. It should be understood that the accompanying drawings and embodiments of the present invention are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0049] Combination Figures 1 to 10According to an embodiment of the present invention, a base station 100 is used to house a vacuum cleaner 200 including a floor brush assembly 21 and a main unit assembly 22 connected to the floor brush assembly 21. The vacuum cleaner 200 is configured to dock with the base station 100 in a predetermined direction. The base station 100 includes a docking portion 11 for housing at least a portion of the main unit assembly 22. The vacuum cleaner 200 includes a floor brush assembly 21, a main unit assembly 22 with a dust cup 223, and an extension tube 23 fluidly communicating the floor brush assembly 21 and the dust cup 223. The vacuum cleaner 200 has a push-in position where the floor brush assembly 21 is pushed into the base station and a dust collection position where the main unit assembly 22 is pushed into the base station. In the push-in position, the floor brush assembly 21 is pushed in along a first path, the main direction of which is the predetermined direction. In the dust collection position, the main unit assembly 22 is pushed in along a second path, the main direction of which is the predetermined direction. The aforementioned "main direction" is a patent term used to describe the "overall trend" or "core orientation" of a complex movement or shape. It allows for the neglect of local, minor deviations while focusing on the most essential technical features. In this application, "main direction" refers to the average direction or approximate orientation of the overall movement path of the ground brush assembly 21 and / or the host assembly 22. It can be understood as: "Although the path may have some slight swaying or deviation, it is generally moving in a certain direction." Based on this principle, the ground brush assembly 21 and / or the host assembly 22 can be pushed into the base station horizontally, or approximately horizontally, or even at a certain angle relative to the horizontal direction, such as an angle of less than 30° relative to the horizontal direction.

[0050] The base station 100 includes a docking portion 11 for receiving at least a portion of the main unit 22 and a base 13 for supporting the surface to be cleaned. The docking portion 11 is configured to allow the main unit 22 to be pushed in while the floor brush assembly 21 is supported on the surface to be cleaned or on the base 13. With this configuration, the user does not need to lift the vacuum cleaner 200 completely off the surface to be cleaned during the entire process of moving the vacuum cleaner 200 to the position of the base station 100 until the vacuum cleaner 200 is docked with the base station 100. If the user is facing the base station, the user only needs to push the vacuum cleaner 200 forward, which optimizes the user experience and improves the airtightness of the docking between the main unit 22 and the docking portion 11.

[0051] In another embodiment, the cleaning system 1000 includes a vacuum cleaner 200 and a base station 100 docked with the vacuum cleaner 200. The vacuum cleaner 200 includes a floor brush assembly 21, a main unit assembly 22, and an extension tube 23 connecting the floor brush assembly 21 and the main unit assembly 22. The base station 100 includes a first positioning area and a second positioning area. The vacuum cleaner 200 has a push-in position after being pushed into the base station 100 in a first direction and a dust collection position after the floor brush assembly 21 is pushed into the first positioning area, where the main unit assembly 22 is pushed into the base station 100 in the first direction. In the dust collection position, the main unit assembly 22 is at least partially located in the second positioning area. In this embodiment, in both the push-in position and the dust collection position, the floor brush assembly 21 is supported by the base station 100 or by the surface to be cleaned. In this embodiment, in both the push-in position and the dust collection position, the maximum height of the extension tube 23 from the surface to be cleaned in a vertical state is the same. With this configuration, the user does not need to lift the vacuum cleaner 200 completely off the surface to be cleaned throughout the entire process of moving the vacuum cleaner 200 to the base station 100 and completing the docking. If the user is facing the base station, they only need to push the vacuum cleaner 200 forward, optimizing the user experience. In actual operation, the user first pushes the vacuum cleaner 200 to move the floor brush assembly 21 to the first positioning area. After the floor brush assembly 21 is in place, the user pushes the main unit assembly 22 towards the base station 100 so that the main unit assembly 22 is at least partially located in the second positioning area. Thus, the user does not need to lift the vacuum cleaner 200 at all. During the pushing process, the user can achieve docking of the vacuum cleaner 200 and the base station 100 by continuously pushing the floor brush assembly 21 and the main unit assembly 22 towards the base station 100, which is simple and convenient to use.

[0052] The base station 100 includes a first positioning structure 11 and a second positioning structure 12. The first positioning structure 11 is used for pushing in and positioning the ground brush assembly 21, and the second positioning structure 12 is used for pushing in and positioning the host assembly 22. In one embodiment, the second positioning structure 12 is used for pushing in and positioning the host assembly 22 in a generally horizontal direction.

[0053] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, describes one embodiment with a generally horizontal orientation. Base station 100 includes a first positioning structure 11 and a second positioning structure 12. The first positioning structure 11 is used to push and position the floor brush assembly 21 in a generally horizontal direction. The second positioning structure 12 is used to push and position the host assembly 22 in a generally horizontal direction. The floor brush assembly 21 is pushed into the first positioning structure 11 in a generally horizontal direction, with at least a portion of the floor brush assembly 21 located within the first positioning structure 11, and the first positioning structure 11 restricts the movement of the floor brush assembly 21 relative to the base station 100. Then, the host assembly 22 is pushed into the second positioning structure 12 in a generally horizontal direction, with at least a portion of the host assembly 22 located within the second positioning structure 12, and the second positioning structure 12 restricts the movement of the host assembly 22 relative to the base station 100. This enables docking of the vacuum cleaner 200 with the base station 100, eliminating the need for the user to lift the vacuum cleaner 200 to dock with the base station 100, thus simplifying the user's operation.

[0054] Specifically, during the cleaning process, the vacuum cleaner 200 is supported on the surface to be cleaned by the floor brush assembly 21, while the main unit assembly 22 generates suction force, causing the floor brush assembly 21 to suck up dust and debris from the surface to be cleaned and temporarily store the dust and debris inside the main unit assembly 22. The base station 100 can collect the dust and debris inside the vacuum cleaner 200 when the vacuum cleaner 200 is docked to the base station 100. When it is necessary to clean the dust collected by the vacuum cleaner 200, the user can push the vacuum cleaner 200 towards the base station 100 along the surface to be cleaned. After the floor brush assembly 21 is pushed into the first positioning structure 11 in a generally horizontal direction, at least a part of the floor brush assembly 21 is located within the first positioning structure 11, and the first positioning structure 11 positions the floor brush assembly 21, restricting the floor brush assembly 21 from moving relative to the base station 100. At this time, the user continues to push the main unit assembly 22 towards the base station 100, so that the main unit assembly 22 docks with the second positioning structure 12 in a generally horizontal direction. After the main unit assembly 22 docks with the second positioning structure 12, at least a part of the main unit assembly 22 is located within the second positioning structure 12, and the second positioning structure 12 positions the main unit assembly 22, limiting the main unit assembly 22. The user does not need to lift the vacuum cleaner 200 to dock with the base station 100, simplifying the user's operation steps and improving the user experience.

[0055] Compared to setting a single positioning structure, by setting a first positioning structure 11 and a second positioning structure 12, when the base station 100 is connected to the vacuum cleaner 200, the first positioning structure 11 can locate the ground brush component 21, and the second positioning structure 12 can locate the main unit component 22, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the connection between the vacuum cleaner 200 and the base station 100.

[0056] In addition, after the base station 100 has finished cleaning the vacuum cleaner 200, the user only needs to move the main unit 22 in the opposite direction to the docking process between the vacuum cleaner 200 and the second positioning structure 12, so that the main unit 22 is detached from the second positioning structure 12, and then continue to move the vacuum cleaner 200 so that the floor brush assembly 21 is detached from the first positioning structure 11 to complete the separation of the vacuum cleaner 200 from the base station 100. Therefore, the user does not need to lift the vacuum cleaner 200 as a whole during the process of the vacuum cleaner 200 detaching from the base station 100.

[0057] It should be noted that "pushing the floor brush assembly 21 into the first positioning structure 11" here means that at least a portion of the floor brush assembly 21 enters the space formed by the first positioning structure 11 for parking the floor brush assembly 21. This includes, but is not limited to: the floor brush assembly 21 entering the space formed by the first positioning structure 11 for parking the floor brush assembly 21, wherein the bottom surface of the floor brush assembly 21 is not in contact with the surface to be cleaned at all; or, the floor brush assembly 21 entering the area enclosed by the first positioning structure 11 and the surface to be cleaned, wherein the bottom surface of the floor brush assembly 21 is still in contact with the surface to be cleaned; or, a portion of the floor brush assembly 21 entering the space formed by the first positioning structure 11 for parking the floor brush assembly 21, and a portion located in the area enclosed by the first positioning structure 11 and the surface to be cleaned, wherein a portion of the bottom surface of the floor brush assembly 21 is not in contact with the surface to be cleaned, while another portion is in contact with the surface to be cleaned.

[0058] According to the base station 100 of this utility model embodiment, by setting a first positioning structure 11 and a second positioning structure 12, the user does not need to lift the vacuum cleaner 200 completely off the surface to be cleaned during the entire process of moving the vacuum cleaner 200 to the position of the base station 100 until the vacuum cleaner 200 is docked with the base station 100, thus optimizing the user experience and improving the stability of docking between the base station 100 and the vacuum cleaner 200.

[0059] In this context, "along a roughly horizontal direction" can refer to the trajectory of the floor brush assembly 21 being pushed into the first positioning structure 11 or the main unit assembly 22 being pushed into the second positioning structure forming a small angle with the horizontal plane. The direction of the horizontal plane can be referenced... Figure 1 The horizontal plane direction extending horizontally in the front-back direction.

[0060] Combination Figure 2 , Figure 7 and Figure 9In some embodiments, the first positioning structure 11 includes a receiving cavity 111 for accommodating at least a portion of the floor brush assembly 21. The receiving cavity 111 is configured to allow the floor brush assembly 21 to be pushed in in a generally horizontal direction, reducing the space occupied by the vacuum cleaner 200 when docking with the base station 100 and maintaining the integrity of the vacuum cleaner 200 docked with the base station 100. The floor brush assembly 21 may be located at the lower end of the vacuum cleaner 200, and the receiving cavity 111 may be located at the bottom of the base station 100. After the floor brush assembly 21 is pushed into the receiving cavity 111 in a generally horizontal direction, at least a portion of the floor brush assembly 21 is located within the receiving cavity 111, ensuring the integrity of the vacuum cleaner 200 docked with the base station 100 and reducing the space occupied by the vacuum cleaner 200 when docking with the base station 100.

[0061] Alternatively, in order to ensure smooth airflow when the base station 100 cleans the vacuum cleaner 200, it is advisable to expose the vacuum cleaner port of the floor brush assembly 21 in the receiving cavity 111.

[0062] In some embodiments, the first positioning structure 11 further includes a floor brush limiting part 112 for limiting the displacement of the floor brush assembly 21 relative to the base station 100. The floor brush limiting part 112 can limit the position of the floor brush assembly 21 after it is pushed into the receiving cavity 111, preventing the floor brush assembly 21 from moving relative to the receiving cavity 111. This avoids the floor brush assembly 21 moving relative to the base station 100 during the docking process between the main unit assembly 22 of the vacuum cleaner 200 and the base station 100, which would cause the floor brush assembly 21 to detach from the base station 100 again. Therefore, providing the floor brush limiting part 112 can improve the docking effect between the floor brush assembly 21 and the base station 100.

[0063] Combination Figure 2 In some embodiments, the base station 100 includes a base 13, and a first positioning structure 11 is disposed on the base 13. The wall of the base 13 can surround and form a receiving cavity 111 for parking the floor brush assembly 21. That is, the receiving cavity 111 can be disposed on the base 13, and the floor brush limiting part 112 can also be disposed on the base 13, ensuring that when the vacuum cleaner 200 docks with the base station 100, at least a part of the floor brush assembly 21 can be stably located on the base 13, and restricting the floor brush assembly 21 from moving relative to the base station 100.

[0064] In some embodiments, the base 13 includes a guide plate 132, and the push-in end of the guide plate 132 is provided with a guide surface 1321. The guide surface 1321 is used to guide the floor brush assembly 21 into the receiving cavity 111 and prevent the direction of the floor brush assembly 21 being pushed into the receiving cavity 111 from deviating.

[0065] The guide plate 132 can be located at the bottom of the base 13. The push-in end of the guide plate 132 is the end of the guide plate 132 away from the receiving cavity 111. The guide surface 1321 is used to guide the floor brush assembly 21 into the receiving cavity 111, preventing the direction of the floor brush assembly 21 from deviating when it is pushed into the receiving cavity 111. When the vacuum cleaner 200 docks with the base station 100, under the guidance of the guide surface 1321, the floor brush assembly 21 can be pushed into the receiving cavity 111 from the surface to be cleaned along the guide surface 1321. The guide surface 1321 can guide the movement direction of the floor brush assembly 21 when the user pushes the vacuum cleaner 200 toward the base station 100, thereby limiting the docking direction of the vacuum cleaner 200 relative to the base station 100, making the docking more accurate and less prone to deviation.

[0066] At least a portion of the guide surface 1321 is inclined upward along the pushing direction of the floor brush assembly 21, and the angle between the guide surface 1321 and the horizontal plane is small. Therefore, the floor brush assembly 21 can be pushed into the receiving cavity 111 in a generally horizontal direction through the guide surface 1321. For example, the pushing direction can be referenced... Figure 2 The direction of the front and back, and the direction of the upward tilt of the guide surface 1321 can be referred to as the up and down direction in Figure 2.

[0067] In some embodiments, the base 13 further includes a first sidewall 131 located on opposite sides of the guide base plate 132. The height of the first sidewall 131 relative to the guide base plate 132 is greater than or equal to 10 mm and less than or equal to 50 mm. The height of the first sidewall 131 relative to the guide base plate 132 can be set to 10 mm, 20 mm, 25 mm, 35 mm, 40 mm, 42 mm, and 50 mm, etc. The first sidewall 131 can connect the two sides of the guide base plate 132 in the front-back direction. In other words, the first sidewall 131 can be located on the left or right side of the guide base plate 132. This can prevent the floor brush assembly 21 from moving above the first sidewall 131 when moving along the guide base plate 132, so that the floor brush assembly 21 can be smoothly pushed into the receiving cavity 111 along the guide base plate 132 during the process of the user pushing the vacuum cleaner 200 to dock with the base station 100.

[0068] Optionally, two first sidewalls 131 can be provided. The two first sidewalls 131 can be respectively provided on opposite sides of the guide base plate 132 in the left-right direction. When the vacuum cleaner 200 and the base station 100 are docked, the two first sidewalls 131 can jointly restrict the movement of the floor brush assembly 21 in the left-right direction on the guide base plate 132, prevent the floor brush assembly 21 from moving out of the guide base plate 132, and prevent the floor brush assembly 21 from moving above the two first sidewalls 131 when moving along the guide base plate 132, further ensuring that the floor brush assembly 21 is smoothly pushed into the receiving cavity 111 along the guide base plate 132.

[0069] Combination Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 In some embodiments, the floor brush limiting part 112 includes a groove 1121 formed on the bottom surface of the receiving cavity 111. The groove 1121 is set corresponding to the auxiliary wheel 211 of the floor brush assembly 21. When the vacuum cleaner 200 is docked with the base station 100, the user pushes the floor brush assembly 21 into the receiving cavity 111, so that at least a part of the auxiliary wheel 211 falls into the groove 1121, thereby positioning the auxiliary wheel 211 in the groove 1121, restricting the movement of the floor brush assembly 21 relative to the base station 100, and improving the stability and reliability of the docking between the floor brush assembly 21 and the base station 100.

[0070] For example, the base station 100 may include a base 13, and a receiving cavity 111 may be disposed within the base 13. The base 13 may include a guide plate 132, and at least a portion of the upper end surface 1211 of the guide plate 132 may be regarded as the bottom surface of the receiving cavity 111. A groove 1121 may be disposed on the upper end surface 1211 of the guide plate 132. After the floor brush assembly 21 enters the receiving cavity 111 of the base 13 from the surface to be cleaned, the auxiliary wheel 211 falls into the groove 1121 to achieve a limiting position, thereby restricting the movement of the floor brush assembly 21 relative to the base station 100 and improving the stability and reliability of the docking between the floor brush assembly 21 and the base station 100.

[0071] Combination Figure 9 and Figure 10 Optionally, the floor brush assembly 21 may be provided with two auxiliary wheels 211, and two corresponding grooves 1121 may also be provided. The two grooves 1121 may be distributed in the left and right direction so that after the floor brush assembly 21 is pushed into the receiving cavity 111, the two auxiliary wheels 211 may fall into the two corresponding grooves 1121 respectively, thereby further limiting the position of the floor brush assembly 21.

[0072] In some embodiments, at least a portion of the inner bottom surface of the groove 1121 is configured as a concave arc surface extending along the pushing direction of the floor brush assembly 21, which is beneficial for the groove 1121 to be adapted to the shape of the auxiliary wheel 211 of the floor brush assembly 21. After the floor brush assembly 21 is pushed into the receiving cavity 111, at least a portion of the auxiliary wheel 211 cooperates with the concave arc surface to limit the positioning of the floor brush assembly 21.

[0073] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 3In some embodiments, the inner bottom surface of the groove 1121 includes a first arc surface 1121a and a second arc surface 1121b. The first arc surface 1121a is inclined downward along the pushing direction of the ground brush assembly 21, and the second arc surface 1121b is inclined upward along the pushing direction of the ground brush assembly 21. The first arc surface 1121a is located upstream of the second arc surface 1121b along the pushing direction of the ground brush assembly 21. The radius of curvature of the first arc surface 1121a is smaller than the radius of curvature of the second arc surface 1121b, so as to prevent the ground brush assembly 21 from exiting the receiving cavity 111 when the host assembly 22 is docked with the base station 100, and ensure that the ground brush assembly 21 is stably docked with the base station 100.

[0074] In some embodiments, the depth of the groove 1121 is greater than or equal to 2 mm and less than or equal to 10 mm. The depth of the groove 1121 can be set to 2 mm, 3 mm, 3.5 mm, 4.2 mm, 5 mm, 6.5 mm, 7 mm, 8 mm, 9.5 mm, and 10 mm, etc. The groove 1121 can restrict the movement of the auxiliary wheel 211 of the ground brush assembly 21 in the front-to-back direction, and prevent the ground brush assembly 21 from exiting the receiving cavity 111 when the host assembly 22 docks with the base station 100, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the docking between the ground brush assembly 21 and the base station 100.

[0075] In other embodiments, the floor brush limiting part 112 is disposed within the receiving cavity 111. The floor brush limiting part 112 limits the outer shell of the floor brush assembly 21 to prevent unnecessary displacement of the floor brush assembly 21 during the docking of the vacuum cleaner 200 with the base station 100. For example, the floor brush limiting part 112 can be disposed on the inner wall of the receiving cavity 111. When the floor brush assembly 21 is pushed in and abuts against the inner wall of the receiving cavity 111, the floor brush limiting part 112 can restrict the floor brush assembly 21 from continuing to move towards the inner wall of the receiving cavity 111, thereby limiting the floor brush assembly 21.

[0076] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the receiving cavity 111 has a first opening 101 facing the side of the base station 100. The user pushes the vacuum cleaner 200 to dock with the base station 100 from the side, facilitating the smooth insertion of the floor brush assembly 21 into the receiving cavity 111 through the first opening 101. The first opening 101 of the receiving cavity 111 may face the front of the base station 100. When the vacuum cleaner 200 docks with the base station 100, the user pushes the vacuum cleaner 200 from the front of the base station 100 along a pushing direction towards the base station 100. The pushing direction can be referenced... Figure 1 In the front-back direction, the user pushes the floor brush assembly 21 from the first opening 101 into the receiving cavity 111 so that the floor brush assembly 21 is received in the receiving cavity 111.

[0077] Combination Figure 2and Figure 5 In some embodiments, at least a portion of the inner top surface of the receiving cavity 111 is inclined downward along the pushing direction of the floor brush assembly 21, which further facilitates the user to lift and place the vacuum cleaner 200 in the up-down direction to dock or separate from the base station 100, and avoids interference between the vacuum cleaner 200 and the base station 100.

[0078] For example, the direction of insertion can be referenced. Figure 5 The directions from front to back and up and down can be referenced. Figure 5 In the vertical direction, the inner top surface of the receiving cavity 111 slopes downwards from front to back. The user can push the vacuum cleaner 200 in the pushing direction to dock it with the base station 100; the user can also move the vacuum cleaner 200 vertically to dock or disconnect it from the base station 100. Specifically, when the user lifts the vacuum cleaner 200 upwards, it disconnects from the base station 100, and the floor brush assembly 21 can move upwards along the sloped inner top surface, moving out of the receiving cavity 111; when the user lowers the vacuum cleaner 200, it docks with the base station 100, and the floor brush assembly 21 can move downwards along the sloped inner top surface into the receiving cavity 111, thus avoiding interference between the floor brush assembly 21 and the inner top surface of the receiving cavity 111.

[0079] Combination Figure 4 In some embodiments, the second positioning structure 12 includes a docking portion 121 for receiving at least a portion of the host component 22. The docking portion 121 is configured to be pushed into the host component 22 in a generally horizontal direction to ensure stable docking between the docking portion 121 and the host component 22, while facilitating the discharge of debris and dust from the host component 22 into the base station 100 through the docking portion 121.

[0080] For example, the main unit 22 can be located at the top of the vacuum cleaner 200, and the docking part 121 can be located at the top of the base station 100. After the main unit 22 is pushed into the docking part 121 in a generally horizontal direction, at least a part of the main unit 22 is located inside the docking part 121. The dust and garbage stored inside the main unit 22 can be discharged into the base station 100 through the docking part 121, thereby improving the stability of the docking between the docking part 121 and the main unit 22, preventing dust and garbage from escaping through the gap between the docking part 121 and the main unit 22, and improving the sealing performance when the main unit 22 and the docking part 121 are docked.

[0081] The first positioning structure 11 may include a receiving cavity 111 and a floor brush limiting part 112. When the vacuum cleaner 200 docks with the base station 100, the user can push the vacuum cleaner 200 along the direction in which the surface to be cleaned is placed towards the base station 100. The floor brush assembly 21 can be pushed into the receiving cavity 111 in a generally horizontal direction, and at least a part of the floor brush assembly 21 is housed in the receiving cavity 111. The floor brush limiting part 112 positions the floor brush assembly 21 and restricts the floor brush assembly 21 from moving relative to the base station 100. At this time, the user can continue to push the main unit assembly 22 into the docking part 121 of the base station 100 in a generally horizontal direction so that the main unit assembly 22 docks with the docking part 121. The positioning component of the second positioning mechanism (such as the main unit limiting part 122 described below) positions the main unit assembly 22 and restricts the movement of the main unit assembly 22 relative to the base station 100, so that the vacuum cleaner 200 can be stably docked with the base station 100.

[0082] In some embodiments, the second positioning structure 12 further includes a host limiting part 122 disposed on the docking part 121 for limiting the displacement of the host component 22 relative to the base station 100. The host limiting part 122 can limit the position of the host component 22 after the host component 22 is pushed into the docking part 121, preventing the host component 22 from moving relative to the docking part 121, so that dust and impurities in the host component 22 can be smoothly discharged into the base station 100 through the docking part 121. The host limiting part 122 can improve the docking effect between the host component 22 and the docking part 121.

[0083] Combination Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the docking portion 121 includes an end face 1211 and a second sidewall 1212, and the main unit limiting portion 122 is disposed on the end face 1211 and / or the second sidewall 1212. The main unit limiting portion 122 can be disposed on the end face 1211 of the docking portion 121, or it can be disposed on the second sidewall 1212. Alternatively, the main unit limiting portion 122 can be disposed on both the end face 1211 and the second sidewall 1212. When the main unit assembly 22 of the vacuum cleaner 200 docks with the docking portion 121, the main unit limiting portion 122 limits the movement of the main unit assembly 22 relative to the docking portion 121, thereby improving the stability of the docking between the docking portion 121 and the main unit assembly 22.

[0084] In some embodiments, the host limiting part 122 includes an elastic buckle 1221, and the host component 22 is provided with a positioning groove 221 for cooperating with the elastic buckle 1221. The elastic buckle 1221 is detachably embedded in the positioning groove 221. When the host component 22 is docked with the docking part 121, at least a portion of the elastic buckle 1221 is embedded in the positioning groove 221. When the host component 22 is separated from the docking part 121, the elastic buckle 1221 is dislodged from the positioning groove 221, ensuring that the host component 22 is stably docked with the docking part 121 and preventing the host component 22 from detaching from the docking part 121 during the cleaning process.

[0085] For example, the elastic buckle 1221 typically refers to a connector that fixes components through elastic deformation. The elastic buckle 1221 may include an elastic element and a positioning buckle, with the elastic element sleeved over the positioning buckle. When the vacuum cleaner 200 is in the process of docking or disengaging, the elastic buckle 1221 can retract into the docking portion 121 under the pressure of the main unit component 22. The elastic buckle 1221 can store elastic potential energy to prevent interference with the main unit component 22 being pushed into the docking portion 121 in a generally horizontal direction. When the main unit component 22 and the docking portion 121 are docked, the elastic buckle 1221 releases its elastic potential energy. The elastic buckle 1221 cooperates with the positioning groove 221 to restrict the movement of the main unit component 22. At least a portion of the elastic buckle 1221 is embedded in the positioning groove 221 to limit the main unit component 22, making the docking more stable.

[0086] Among them, combined Figures 5 to 8 The elastic buckle 1221 can be set on the end face 1211 of the docking part 121, and the positioning slot 221 can be set on the surface of the host component 22 opposite to the end face 1211; or, the elastic buckle 1221 can be set on the second side wall 1212 of the docking part 121. In this case, it is not necessary to set the positioning slot 221 on the host component 22. After the host component 22 completes docking with the docking part 121, the elastic buckle 1221 can abut against the outer wall of the host component 22 to prevent the host component 22 from falling out of the docking part 121; of course, the elastic buckle 1221 can also be set on the second side wall 1212 and the end face 1211 of the docking part 121 at the same time to optimize the positioning effect, avoid the gap between the host component 22 and the docking part 121 caused by vibration during the dust extraction process of the base station 100, and prevent the vacuum cleaner 200 from falling out of the base station 100.

[0087] Optionally, the elastic buckle 1221 can also be provided on the main unit 22, and the positioning slot 221 can be provided on the end face 1211 of the docking part 121; or, the elastic buckle 1221 can also be provided on the main unit 22, and when the main unit 22 docks with the docking part 121, the elastic buckle 1221 abuts against the second side wall 1212, so that the main unit 22 and the docking part 121 are stably docked.

[0088] Optionally, the positioning slot 221 may be provided with a first wall and a second wall opposite to each other in the front-back direction. At least a portion of the first wall and the second wall may be provided with an arc surface to improve the force and feel of pushing in and pulling out the vacuum cleaner 200 when the main unit component 22 is docked with the docking part 121, thereby improving the user's user experience.

[0089] Combination Figure 5 In some embodiments, the docking portion 121 includes a second sidewall 1212, and an elastic buckle 1221 is disposed on the second sidewall 1212 of the docking portion 121. At least a portion of the elastic buckle 1221 is configured as a hemispherical shape protruding from the second sidewall 1212, thereby preventing the end face 1211 of the main unit 22 of the vacuum cleaner 200 from being stuck by the elastic buckle 1221 when the user docks the main unit 22 of the vacuum cleaner 200 in the vertical direction of the docking portion 121, thus avoiding the problem of interference and failure to dock properly. The vertical direction can be referred to as the up and down direction in Figure 5.

[0090] For example, the host component 22 may include a dust cup 223. After the host component 22 completes docking with the base station 100, at least a portion of the dust cup 223 is located inside the docking part 121, and the elastic buckle 1221 can abut against the outer wall of the dust cup 223 to prevent the dust cup 223 from coming off the docking part 121.

[0091] Combination Figures 4 to 6 ,as well as Figure 7 In other embodiments, the host limiting part 122 includes a first magnetic attraction part 1222 disposed on the docking part 121. The first magnetic attraction part 1222 is used to magnetically engage with the host component 22 by a second magnetic attraction part 222, further ensuring stable docking between the vacuum cleaner 200 and the base station 100. When the host component 22 docks with the docking part 121, the magnetic engagement of the first magnetic attraction part 1222 and the second magnetic attraction part 222 achieves positioning of the host component 22, limiting the displacement of the host component 22 relative to the docking part 121.

[0092] Furthermore, an elastic buckle 1221 and a first magnetic suction part 1222 can be provided on the docking part 121, and a corresponding structure can be provided on the host component 22. The host component 22 can be positioned by means of snap-fit ​​and magnetic suction, thereby further optimizing the stability of the docking between the vacuum cleaner 200 and the base station 100.

[0093] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 4In some embodiments, the docking portion 121 is provided with a second opening 102. The second opening 102 is configured to allow the host component 22 to be pushed into the docking portion 121 in a generally horizontal direction. The second opening 102 faces the side of the base station 100, facilitating the smooth insertion of the host component 22 into the docking portion 121 through the second opening 102. Alternatively, the second opening 102 of the docking portion 121 may face the front of the base station 100. When the vacuum cleaner 200 docks with the base station 100, the user pushes the vacuum cleaner 200 from the front of the base station 100 towards the base station 100 in a pushing direction. The pushing direction can be referenced... Figure 4 In the front-back direction, the user pushes the host component 22 from the second opening 102 into the docking part 121 so that at least a portion of the host component 22 is accommodated in the docking part 121.

[0094] Combination Figure 4 In some embodiments, the docking portion 121 includes a second sidewall 1212, which encloses a cavity having a second opening 102. That is, the second opening 102 extends from a horizontal direction to a vertical direction. The horizontal direction can be referenced in the appendix. Figure 4 The front-back direction in the middle and the vertical direction can be referred to as the up-down direction in 4. That is, when the base station 100 allows the user to dock by pushing in, it can also allow the user to put the vacuum cleaner 200 into the base station 100 from above to dock, which increases the docking options for the user. In addition, it avoids the gap between the host component 22 and the docking part 121 caused by vibration during the dust extraction process of the base station 100, and prevents the vacuum cleaner 200 from detaching from the base station 100.

[0095] In some embodiments, the lower edge of the second opening 102 is provided with a chamfer 14 so that the second opening 102 can be adapted to different vacuum cleaner 200 shapes and avoid collision between the main unit component 22 and the docking part 121 during the docking process.

[0096] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 9 In some embodiments, the first positioning structure 11 includes a first opening 101 for the side-mounted floor brush assembly 21 to be pushed in a generally horizontal direction toward the base station 100, and the second positioning structure 12 includes a second opening 102 for the side-mounted floor brush assembly 21 to be pushed in a generally horizontal direction toward the base station 100, wherein the first opening 101 and the second opening 102 have the same orientation. The user can push the floor brush assembly 21 and the main unit of the vacuum cleaner 200 into and connect them to the base station 100 sequentially along the pushing direction. The pushing direction can be referenced... Figure 9The front-back direction simplifies the docking operation between the vacuum cleaner 200 and the base station 100, eliminating the need to adjust the direction of the host component 22 relative to the docking part 121 during the docking process, and also preventing interference between the vacuum cleaner 200 and the base station 100 during docking.

[0097] Combination Figures 1 to 10 According to an embodiment of the present invention, a cleaning system 1000 includes a vacuum cleaner 200 and the aforementioned base station 100. The vacuum cleaner 200 includes a floor brush assembly 21 and a main unit assembly 22. The vacuum cleaner 200 has a push-in position where the floor brush assembly 21 is positioned in the base station 100 and a dust collection position where the main unit assembly 22 is positioned in the base station 100 after the floor brush assembly 21 is positioned in the base station 100. After the floor brush assembly 21 is pushed into the base station 100 in a generally horizontal direction, the vacuum cleaner 200 is in the push-in position relative to the base station 100. Then, the user continues to push the main unit assembly 22 into the base station 100, so that the main unit assembly 22 docks with the base station 100 in a generally horizontal direction. After the main unit assembly 22 docks with the base station 100, the vacuum cleaner 200 is in the dust collection position relative to the base station 100, realizing the docking of the entire vacuum cleaner 200 with the base station 100. The user does not need to lift or release the vacuum cleaner 200 to dock or detach the vacuum cleaner from the base station 100, improving the user's operating comfort.

[0098] Specifically, combined Figure 7 When the vacuum cleaner 200 is docked with the base station 100, the base station 100 can collect dust and debris from the dust cup 223 of the vacuum cleaner 200. In this structure of the vacuum cleaner 200, one end of the extension tube 23 is connected to the main unit 22 and the other end is connected to the floor brush assembly 21. When cleaning, the user holds the main unit 22, and part of the weight of the main unit 22 is transferred to the floor brush assembly 21 through the extension tube 23. This allows the vacuum cleaner 200 to be supported on the surface to be cleaned by the floor brush assembly 21 during the cleaning process. At the same time, the main unit 22 can generate suction force, causing the floor brush assembly 21 to suck up the dust and debris from the surface to be cleaned and transport it to the dust cup 223 through the extension tube 23.

[0099] When it is necessary to clean the dust collected by the vacuum cleaner 200, or further, when it is necessary to clean the dust and debris in the dust cup 223 of the vacuum cleaner 200, the user can push the vacuum cleaner 200 towards the base station 100 along the surface to be cleaned. After the floor brush assembly 21 is pushed into the base station 100 in a roughly horizontal direction, the vacuum cleaner 200 is in the pushed-in position relative to the base station 100. At this time, the user continues to push the main unit assembly 22 towards the base station 100, so that the main unit assembly 22 aligns with the base station 100 in a roughly horizontal direction. After the main unit assembly 22 is aligned with the base station 100, the vacuum cleaner 200 is in the dust collection position relative to the base station 100. Figure 9As shown, at this time, the dust discharge port of the dust cup 223 is connected to the dust collection port of the base station 100. During the cleaning process of the vacuum cleaner 200 by the base station 100, the dust and debris in the dust cup 223 can be discharged from the dust cup 223 through the dust discharge port and enter the base station 100 through the dust collection port to be collected by the base station 100.

[0100] According to the cleaning system 1000 of this utility model embodiment, the user does not need to lift the vacuum cleaner 200 completely off the surface to be cleaned during the entire process of moving the vacuum cleaner 200 to the base station 100 until the vacuum cleaner 200 is docked with the base station 100. This is more labor-saving than the existing docking method and optimizes the user experience.
