Detailed Implementation

[0056] The embodiments of this disclosure are described in detail below, examples of which are illustrated 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 are only used to explain this disclosure, and should not be construed as limiting this disclosure.

[0057] The following is for reference. Figures 1-10 A vacuum cleaner 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is described.

[0058] Reference Figures 1-3 According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a vacuum cleaner 100 includes a body assembly 10 and a dust cup assembly 20. The body assembly 10 includes a housing 11, the dust cup assembly 20 is disposed on the housing 11, and the dust cup assembly 20 is detachable along a first direction. The dust cup assembly 20 includes a dust cup 21 and a filter element 22, the filter element 22 being disposed within the dust cup 21.

[0059] Figure 1 The F1 direction shown is the first direction, which is the direction in which the height of the dust cup assembly 20 points downwards. For example, when the vacuum cleaner 100 is placed upright on the surface to be cleaned, the F1 direction is the direction of gravity. After using the vacuum cleaner 100, the dust cup 21 can be disassembled along the first direction to empty the debris inside, and the filter element 22 can also be removed for cleaning. Alternatively, the dust cup assembly 20 can be disassembled along the first direction, and then the dust cup 21 and filter element 22 can be separated to empty the debris inside the dust cup 21 and / or clean the filter element 22.

[0060] The vacuum cleaner 100 also includes a scraping assembly 30, which is disposed on the dust cup assembly 20. The scraping assembly 30 includes a scraping member 31, a toggle member 32, and a first transmission mechanism 33. The scraping member 31 and the toggle member 32 are connected by the first transmission mechanism 33. The scraping member 31 is disposed on the outer periphery of the filter member 22 and is used to scrape at least part of the dirt on the filter member 22. The toggle member 32 is configured to drive the scraping member 31 to scrape the filter member 22 along the first direction during the movement along the second direction. The second direction is opposite to the first direction.

[0061] Figure 1 The F2 direction shown is the second direction, which is opposite to the first direction, i.e., the direction in which the height of the dust cup assembly 20 is upward. The user can move the actuating member 32 along the second direction. As the actuating member 32 moves along the second direction, it can drive the first transmission mechanism 33 to move. The first transmission mechanism 33 then drives the scraping member 31 to scrape the filter element 22 along the first direction, scraping away at least part of the dirt on the filter element 22.

[0062] According to the vacuum cleaner 100 of the present disclosure, by configuring the scraping assembly 30 to include a scraping member 31, a toggle member 32 and a first transmission mechanism 33, the user can drive the scraping member 31 to scrape the filter 22 by operating the toggle member 32. Since the direction in which the user operates the toggle member 32 is opposite to the disassembly direction of the dust cup assembly 20, it can prevent the dust cup assembly 20 or the dust cup 21 from falling off during the user's operation of the toggle member 32, reduce the risk of loose assembly of the dust cup assembly 20 or the dust cup 21, and facilitate later maintenance and cleaning, thereby increasing the user's experience.

[0063] In some embodiments, the dust cup assembly 21 is detachably connected to the housing 11. The detachable methods for the dust cup assembly 21 include, but are not limited to, snap-fit ​​connections, hook connections, threaded connections, spline or key connections, pin connections, magnetic connections, and flange connections. In other embodiments, the dust cup 21 is detachably connected to the housing 11. The detachable methods for the dust cup 21 include, but are not limited to, snap-fit ​​connections, hook connections, threaded connections, spline or key connections, pin connections, magnetic connections, and flange connections. That is, the dust cup assembly 21 can be completely removed from the housing 11, or the dust cup 21 can be removed separately from the housing 11. This disclosure does not impose specific limitations on its installation method.

[0064] For example, refer to Figure 2 One of the dust cup assembly 20 and the body assembly 10 is provided with a hook 21a and a latch 21b, and the other of the dust cup assembly 20 and the body assembly 10 is provided with a component that cooperates with the hook 21a and the latch 21b. The body assembly 10 is provided with a release button 12, which can release the hook 21a from the corresponding component.

[0065] If the hook 21a and the latch 21b are installed on the body assembly 10, the hook 21a cooperates with the body assembly 10 to limit the dust cup assembly 20 in the first direction, and the latch 21b can assist the hook 21a in limiting the dust cup assembly 20.

[0066] When installing the dust cup assembly 20, you can first press the release button 12, insert the hook 21a into the body assembly 10, and then release the release button 12. Then rotate the dust cup assembly 20 so that the latch 21b engages with the corresponding part of the body assembly 10. By doing this, the installation of the dust cup assembly 20 can be completed.

[0067] When disassembling the dust cup assembly 20, first rotate the dust cup assembly 20 in the opposite direction to the rotation direction in which it is installed, release the engagement between the latch 21b and the corresponding part of the body assembly 10, then press the release button 12 to release the engagement between the hook 21a and the body assembly 10, and then disassemble the dust cup assembly 20 in the first direction.

[0068] In some embodiments, the filter element 22 is detachably connected to the dust cup 21. In other embodiments, the filter element 22 is detachably connected to the housing 11. The detachable methods of the filter element 22 include, but are not limited to, snap-fit ​​connection, hook connection, threaded connection, spline or key connection, pin connection, magnetic connection, flange connection, etc. That is, the dust cup assembly 20 can be completely removed from the housing 11, and then the filter element 22 can be removed from the dust cup assembly 20. Alternatively, the dust cup 21 can be removed separately from the housing 11, and then the filter element 22 can be removed from the housing 11. This disclosure does not impose specific limitations on the arrangement method.

[0069] For example, the dust cup 21 can be a circular cup shape, with the filter element 22 located inside the dust cup 21. The space inside the dust cup 21, excluding the filter element 22, can be used to temporarily store waste. (See reference...) Figures 3-5 In some embodiments, the first transmission mechanism 33 includes a first moving member 331 and a first rotating member 332. The first moving member 331 is connected to the scraping member 31, and the first rotating member 332 is drively connected to the first moving member 331 and the actuating member 32. The first rotating member 332 converts the movement of the actuating member 32 along a first direction into the movement of the first moving member 331 along a second direction, and converts the movement of the actuating member 32 along the second direction into the movement of the first moving member 331 along the first direction.

[0070] When the user moves the actuating member 32 in the second direction, since the actuating member 32 is connected to the first rotating member 332, the actuating member 32 can drive the first rotating member 332 to rotate. Since the first rotating member 332 is connected to the first moving member 331, when the first rotating member 332 rotates, it can convert the movement of the actuating member 32 in the second direction into the movement of the first moving member 331 in the first direction. The first moving member 331 can drive the scraping member 31 to move in the first direction, so that the scraping member 31 scrapes the filter member 22 in the first direction. When the first moving member 331 moves in the second direction, it can drive the scraping member 31 to move in the second direction, so that the scraping member 31 scrapes the filter member 22 in the second direction.

[0071] In the above technical solution, by setting the first transmission mechanism 33 to include a first moving part 331 and a first rotating part 332, the first rotating part 332 is used to convert the movement of the toggle part 32 along the first direction into the movement of the first moving part 331 along the second direction. This allows the direction in which the user operates the toggle part 32 to be opposite to the disassembly direction of the dust cup assembly 20, which can reduce the risk of loosening of the dust cup assembly 20 during the scraping of the filter 22.

[0072] Reference Figure 4In some embodiments, the actuating member 32 and the first moving member 331 are connected by a transmission rope 34, and the first rotating member 332 includes a rotatable pulley 3321, with the transmission rope 34 wrapped around the outer periphery of the pulley 3321.

[0073] Specifically, when the user moves the actuating member 32 in the second direction, the actuating member 32 drives one end of the transmission rope 34 (the end connected to the actuating member 32) to move in the second direction. Since the transmission rope 34 is wrapped around the outer circumference of the pulley 3321, the pulley 3321 is driven to rotate counterclockwise by the transmission rope 34. The other end of the transmission rope 34 (the end connected to the first moving member 331) moves in the first direction, thereby pulling the first moving member 331 to move in the first direction, so that the scraping member 31 scrapes the filter member 22 in the first direction.

[0074] Therefore, in the above technical solution, by configuring the first rotating component 332 to include a pulley 3321, the direction of force can be changed using the simple pulley 3321 and transmission rope 34. This allows the user to operate the toggle component 32 in the opposite direction to the direction in which the scraping component 31 synchronously scrapes the filter component 22. Consequently, the direction of the user's operation of the toggle component 32 is opposite to the disassembly direction of the dust cup assembly 20, reducing the risk of loosening of the dust cup assembly 20 during the scraping of the filter component 22. The pulley 3321 and transmission rope 34 have a simple structure, which helps to reduce production costs and maintenance costs.

[0075] In some specific embodiments, pulley 3321 is a fixed pulley.

[0076] Refer again Figure 4 In some specific embodiments, the dust cup 21 has a groove 214, and the scraping assembly 30 also includes a slider 35, which is connected to the transmission rope 34 and the actuating member 32, and the slider 35 is movable along the extension direction of the groove 214.

[0077] Specifically, the chute 214 extends along the height direction of the dust cup 21, the sliding member 35 slides in conjunction with the chute 214, the two ends of the transmission rope 34 are respectively connected to the sliding member 35 and the first moving member 331, and the sliding member 35 is also connected to the actuating member 32. In some embodiments, the sliding member 35 and the actuating member 32 can be integrally formed or separately connected.

[0078] When the user moves the actuating member 32 in the second direction, the actuating member 32 can drive the sliding member 35 to move along the extension direction of the slide groove 214. Then the sliding member 35 pulls one end of the transmission rope 34 to move in the second direction, thereby driving the pulley 3321 to rotate through the transmission rope 34. The other end of the transmission rope 34 pulls the first moving member 331 to move in the first direction, so that the scraping member 31 scrapes the filter member 22 in the first direction.

[0079] The sliding member 35 facilitates the connection between the actuating member 32 and the transmission rope 34, thereby transmitting the user's operation on the actuating member 32; the groove 214 can limit and guide the sliding member 35, improving the reliability of the installation and movement of the sliding member 35, so that the scraping assembly 30 can work normally.

[0080] Reference Figure 6 In some examples, the first rotating member 332 is a rotatable gear 3322, the first moving member 331 is a first rack 3311, and the scraping assembly 30 further includes a second rack 39, which is disposed in the dust cup 21 and connected to the actuating member 32. The first rack 3311 and the second rack 39 are located on opposite sides of the gear 3322 and both mesh with the gear 3322. In some embodiments, the second rack 39 and the actuating member 32 can be integrally formed or separately connected.

[0081] Specifically, when the user moves the actuating member 32 in the second direction, the actuating member 32 drives the second rack 39 to move in the second direction. Since the gear 3322 is connected to the first rack 3311 and the second rack 39, the gear 3322 is driven to rotate counterclockwise by the second rack 39, and the first rack 3311 is driven to move in the first direction by the gear 3322, thereby driving the first moving member 331 to move in the first direction, so that the scraping member 31 scrapes the filter member 22 in the first direction.

[0082] Therefore, in the above technical solution, by setting the first rotating member 332 to include a gear 3322, and using the gear 3322 to drive the first rack 3311 and the second rack 39, the moving directions of the first rack 3311 and the second rack 39 can be opposite, so that the direction of the user operating the toggle member 32 is opposite to the direction of the scraping member 31 synchronously scraping the filter member 22, and finally the direction of the user operating the toggle member 32 is opposite to the disassembly direction of the dust cup assembly 20, which can reduce the risk of loosening of the dust cup assembly 20 during the scraping of the filter member 22.

[0083] In addition, the gear 3322 is connected to the first rack 3311 and the second rack 39, which can improve the transmission efficiency, ensure the transmission accuracy, and improve the reliability of the scraping assembly 30.

[0084] In some specific embodiments, the number of gears 3322 is one.

[0085] In some other embodiments, the number of gears 3322 is at least two.

[0086] For example, at least two gears 3322 include a first gear 33221 and a second gear 33222. The first gear 33221 meshes with a first rack 3311, and the second gear 33222 meshes with a second rack 39. The first gear 33221 and the second gear 33222 are coaxially arranged and can rotate synchronously in the same direction. The size of the first gear 33221 is larger than the size of the second gear 33222.

[0087] When the user moves the actuating member 32 in the second direction, the actuating member 32 drives the second rack 39 to move in the second direction. The second rack 39 drives the second gear 33222 to rotate counterclockwise. At this time, the first gear 33221 rotates in the same direction as the second gear 33222. The first gear 33221 then drives the first rack 3311 to move in the first direction. During the movement of the first rack 3311 in the first direction, the scraping member 31 moves in the first direction, thereby realizing the scraping cleaning work of the scraping member 31 in the first direction.

[0088] Therefore, by setting at least two gears 3322 as a first gear 33221 and a second gear 33222 of different sizes, the transmission ratio can be adjusted to meet the design requirements that the direction of the user's operation of the toggle 32 is opposite to the disassembly direction of the dust cup assembly 20, while also achieving the design requirement that the moving speed of the scraper 31 can meet the design requirements.

[0089] In some specific examples, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The scraping assembly 30 also includes a reset member 36, which is used to drive the first moving member 331 to move along the second direction so as to drive the scraping member 31 to scrape the filter member 22 along the second direction.

[0090] In order to clean the dirt on the filter element 22, the scraping operation often needs to be performed multiple times. Therefore, the scraping assembly 30 also includes a reset member 36. The reset member 36 is used to drive the first moving member 331 to move along the second direction, so as to drive the scraping member 31 to scrape the filter element 22 along the second direction, and also to enable the scraping member 31 to reset normally without the action of external force.

[0091] During the scraping process of the scraping component 31 along the second direction under the drive of the reset component 36, on the one hand, the reset component 36 can provide driving force to the first moving component 331, causing the first moving component 331 to return to the starting position, so that the first moving component 331 drives the scraping component 31 to reset, which can save effort for the user and provide convenience to a certain extent. On the other hand, this can scrape the filter component 22 from the opposite direction, so that the scraping component 31 can better clean the dirt on the filter component 22, improving the practicality of the scraping assembly 30.

[0092] Among them, the reset component 36 is a component with good elastic deformation, such as a spring.

[0093] Here, we will take the reset component 36 as an example of a spring. During the scraping process of the scraping component 31 along the first direction, the spring is gradually compressed and stores a certain amount of elastic potential energy. When the user removes the force on the actuating component 32, the spring gradually restores its elastic deformation. During this process, the spring releases its elastic potential energy, which can drive the first moving component 331 to move along the second direction, thereby causing the scraping component 31 to scrape the filter component 22 along the second direction.

[0094] Therefore, in the above technical solution, by setting a reset member 36, the first moving member 331 can be driven to move along the second direction to the starting position. On the one hand, the scraping member 31 can perform scraping and cleaning work along the second direction, improving the cleaning efficiency and cleaning effect of the filter member 22. On the other hand, the scraping member 31 and the toggle member 32 can be reset, making it convenient for the user to toggle the toggle member 32 along the second direction to perform the next scraping and cleaning operation.

[0095] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some specific examples, the scraping assembly 30 also includes a guide shaft 37, a first moving member 331 moves along a first direction and a second direction under the guidance of the guide shaft 37, and a reset member 36 is sleeved on the guide shaft 37 and its two ends abut against the dust cup 21 and the first moving member 331.

[0096] The guide shaft 37 can guide the first moving part 331 to move along the first direction and the second direction. On the other hand, during the process of the reset part 36 driving the first moving part 331 to reset, it can ensure that the reset part 36 always moves along the first direction, so as to avoid the reset part 36 deviating from the preset reset direction during the reset process, resulting in incomplete reset, which would affect the subsequent scraping action of the scraping part 31.

[0097] Reference Figure 5 In some embodiments, the dust cup 21 forms a dust collection chamber 212a, the filter element 22 is disposed in the dust collection chamber 212a, and the scraper 31 is located between the peripheral wall of the dust cup 21 and the filter element 22, and the scraper 31 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the filter element 22.

[0098] The dust cup 21 has a dust collection chamber 212a. When the vacuum cleaner 100 is working, the dust collection chamber 212a can store the collected garbage and dirt. The filter element 22 is located in the dust collection chamber 212a and can filter the garbage and dirt as they enter the dust collection chamber 212a, separating fine dust from large particles or other solid garbage, and preventing fine dust from entering the fan and affecting the life of the fan. A scraper element 31 is provided between the peripheral wall of the dust collection chamber 212a and the filter element 22.

[0099] The scraper 31 is fitted onto the outer periphery of the filter element 22. The scraper 31 moves once in the first direction, and the filter element 22 can be cleaned in a full circumference by the scraper 31, which helps to improve the cleaning efficiency of the filter element 22.

[0100] In some specific embodiments, the scraping member 31 may include a scraping seat 31a and a scraping body 311. Both the scraping seat 31a and the scraping body 311 are annular structures. The scraping seat 31a is sleeved on the outer periphery of the filter element 22, and the scraping body 311 is installed on the side of the scraping seat 31a facing the filter element 22.

[0101] The scraping body 311 can be made of a flexible material (such as rubber, a brush, etc.). During the movement of the scraping body 311, it adheres closely to the filter element 22, thus cleaning dust from the filter element 22. For example, the scraping body 311 can be a rubber-coated ring, and the filter element 22 is a metal mesh with dense pores. During the filtration process, the metal mesh may generate static electricity, causing hair, dust, lint, and other contaminants to adhere to and become entangled. With repeated use, this buildup gradually accumulates until it completely covers the metal mesh, resulting in a loss of vacuum cleaner 100 performance. Users can clean the metal mesh at any time by scraping it with the rubber-coated ring to ensure the normal operation of the vacuum cleaner 100.

[0102] In some embodiments, while the scraper body 311 is in close contact with the filter element 22, it can also be in close contact with the peripheral wall of the dust cup 21. That is, during the scraping operation of the filter element 22, the scraper body 311 can also scrape off the dust, garbage and other debris on the inner wall of the dust cup 21.

[0103] In some specific embodiments, reference continues to be made to... Figure 4 and Figure 5 The filter element 22 includes a mounting base 221 and a filter body 222. The filter body 222 is mounted on the mounting base 221, and the scraper 31 contacts the outer peripheral wall of the filter body 222.

[0104] In the first state, the scraper 31 is located at one end of the filter body 222 near the mounting base 221. In the second state, the scraper 31 moves alternately along the first and second directions.

[0105] The vacuum cleaner 100 being in the first state can mean that the vacuum cleaner 100 is in the working state of vacuuming. When the vacuum cleaner 100 is performing a vacuuming task, the scraper 31 is located at the end of the filter body 222 near the mounting base 221 to avoid the filter body 222 and prevent obstruction of airflow and debris.

[0106] The vacuum cleaner 100 being in the second state can mean that the vacuum cleaner 100 is in standby or off state. If it is necessary to scrape and clean the filter body 222, the user can use the scraper 31 to alternately move along the first and second directions to scrape and clean the filter body 222, thereby ensuring the normal cleaning function of the vacuum cleaner 100.

[0107] Reference Figure 4 In some examples, the dust cup 21 also forms an installation cavity 213a, which is arranged separately from the dust collection cavity 212a, and the first transmission mechanism 33 is located in the installation cavity 213a.

[0108] The dust cup 21 has a mounting cavity 213a for housing the first transmission mechanism 33, and the mounting cavity 213a is arranged separately from the dust collection cavity 212a. This arrangement ensures the airtightness of the dust collection cavity 212a, allowing it to better collect the dirt and debris sucked up by the vacuum cleaner 100. It also prevents dust and other contaminants from entering the first transmission mechanism 33 within the mounting cavity 213a, thus avoiding malfunctions that could affect the normal operation of the scraper 31 and improving the reliability of the vacuum cleaner 100.

[0109] Reference Figures 3-5 In some specific examples, the mounting cavity 213a is located on the periphery of the dust collection cavity 212a, and the two are connected by a communication port 215. The scraping assembly 30 also includes a connector 38, which is connected between the first transmission mechanism 33 and the scraping member 31.

[0110] Exemplarily, the connector 38 extends along the first direction, with its two ends connected to the first transmission mechanism 33 and the scraper 31, respectively. Specifically, the two ends of the connector 38 are connected to the first moving member 331 and the scraper seat 31a, respectively. The shape of the connector 38 includes, but is not limited to, a cylinder, a cuboid, and a cube. Compared to the first moving member 331 being directly connected to the scraper seat 31a, the connector 38 increases the transmission distance of the first transmission mechanism 33 and the range of motion of the scraper 31 and the actuating member 32. That is, the first moving member 331, the actuating member 32, and the scraper 31 can move a greater distance, ensuring that the scraper body 311 can completely scrape the filter body 222. In addition, the first transmission mechanism 33 is designed along the first direction around the dust cup body 212, and its length is approximately the same as the height of the dust cup body 212, resulting in a more reasonable and aesthetically pleasing structural design.

[0111] The connector 38 can transmit power and motion, enabling the first moving member 331 to drive the scraping member 31 to move. On the other hand, it can change the position of the scraping member 31 relative to the filter member 22, so that the scraping member 31 is initially located at the starting position of the filter member 22. In this way, when the first moving member 331 moves along the first direction, it ensures that the scraping member 31 can completely scrape the filter member 22 during the scraping operation, which also improves the scraping effect of the scraping member 31 to a certain extent.

[0112] Reference Figure 4 In some specific examples, the dust cup 21 has a first through hole 213b communicating with the mounting cavity 213a, and at least a portion of the actuating member 32 extends out of the dust cup 21 from the first through hole 213b. Exemplarily, the first through hole 213b is provided to extend along a first direction, and the range of movement of the actuating member 32 is limited by setting the length of the first through hole 213b along the first direction.

[0113] This design allows at least a portion of the actuating element 32 to extend out of the dust cup 21 from the first through hole 213b, making it easier for the user to manually actuate the actuating element 32 during scraping operations, thus improving the user's comfort.

[0114] Reference Figures 3-5 In some specific examples, the dust cup 21 includes a dust cup body 212 and a cover 213. The dust cup body 212 forms a dust collection chamber 212a. The cover 213 is detachably disposed on the outer surface of the dust cup body 212, and an installation cavity 213a is formed between the cover 213 and the dust cup body 212. A first through hole 213b is formed between the edge of the cover 213 and the dust cup body 212.

[0115] In the above technical solution, by setting the dust cup 21 to include the dust cup body 212 and the cover 213, it is convenient to install the first transmission mechanism 33 in the mounting cavity 213a. The cover 213 can cover the first transmission mechanism 33 in the mounting cavity 213a, making the dust cup 21 more aesthetically pleasing and improving its overall appearance. When it is necessary to maintain the first transmission mechanism 33, the cover 213 can be removed to expose the first transmission mechanism 33, making maintenance more convenient.

[0116] The first through hole 213b is formed between the edge of the cover 213 and the dust cup body 212, eliminating the need for separate drilling. This simplifies the processing steps and improves production efficiency. It also facilitates the installation of the actuating element 32, allowing at least part of the actuating element 32 to extend out of the dust cup 21 through the first through hole 213b, thus providing convenience for users to perform scraping operations through the actuating element 32.

[0117] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 1The body assembly 10 also includes an extension tube 13 and a handle 15 disposed on the housing 11, and a floor brush 14 connected to the extension tube 13. When using the vacuum cleaner 100, the user generally holds the handle 15 and pushes the floor brush 14 to move on the surface to be cleaned, cleaning the surface through the floor brush 14, for example, sucking dust, hair and other debris from the surface to be cleaned into the dust cup 21 for storage. In some embodiments, the floor brush 14 can be replaced with other cleaning heads, such as a mite removal head or a long-side suction head, etc., removing the extension tube 13 and directly connecting the mite removal head, etc., to the housing 11. The user can hold the handle 15 and push the mite removal head to move on sofas, beds, car seat cushions, etc., to remove mites and clean the sofas, beds, car seat cushions, etc.

[0118] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 1 The dust cup 21 also includes a lid 216, which is located at the bottom of the dust cup 21. After the vacuum cleaner 100 has been used for a period of time, the dust cup 21 may be full of dust. To avoid odors or germs, the dust cup 21 needs to be cleaned regularly. Users can manually press the button to release the lid 216 and empty the dust cup 21 into the trash can; or, for vacuum cleaners 100 equipped with a cleaning base station 50, users can connect the vacuum cleaner 100 to the cleaning base station 50. After connection, the dust collection operation can be performed. The cleaning base station 50 can control the automatic release of the lid 216 and then suck out the dust cup 21, eliminating the need for user operation to empty the dust, making it more convenient.

[0119] Reference Figure 7 and Figure 8 In some embodiments, the dust cup assembly 20 further includes a fixing seat 23 and a guide member 24. The fixing seat 23 is disposed inside the dust cup 21 and has a first through hole 2311. The guide member 24 passes through the first through hole 2311 and one end of the guide member 24 is connected to the scraping member 31. During the process of the scraping member 31 scraping the filter member 22, the guide member 24 and the fixing seat 23 are slidably engaged.

[0120] When the scraping member 31 scrapes the filter member 22 along the first direction, the guide member 24 moves along the first direction with the scraping member 31. At this time, the fixed seat 23 can guide, limit and support the guide member 24. When the scraping member 31 scrapes the filter member 22 along the second direction, the guide member 24 moves along the second direction with the scraping member 31. At this time, the fixed seat 23 can also guide, limit and support the guide member 24.

[0121] Therefore, during the process of the scraper 31 scraping the filter 22, the fixed seat 23 can play a guiding, limiting and supporting role, so that the guide 24 can move more reliably and stably, thereby ensuring the movement stability of the scraper 31 and preventing the scraper 31 from shifting.

[0122] In some embodiments, the fixing seat 23 may be generally annular in shape and disposed on the inner wall of the dust cup 21. The fixing seat 23 and the dust cup 21 may be integrally formed or separately formed. The fixing seat 23 and the dust cup 21 may be fixedly connected or detachably connected.

[0123] Reference Figures 8-10 In some specific embodiments, the other end of the guide member 24 is provided with a limiting member 241, and the dust cup assembly 20 also includes an elastic member 26, which is sleeved on the guide member 24 and its two ends respectively abut against the limiting member 241 and the fixing seat 23.

[0124] When the scraping member 31 scrapes the filter member 22 along the first direction, the guide member 24 moves along the first direction with the scraping member 31. At this time, the limiting member 241 can push the elastic member 26, so that the elastic member 26 stores elastic potential energy. When the user removes the force on the actuating member 32, the elastic member 26 releases elastic potential energy, which can drive the guide member 24 to move along the second direction, thereby driving the scraping member 31 to scrape the filter member 22 along the second direction.

[0125] Therefore, in the above technical solution, by setting the elastic element 26, the guide element 24 can be driven to move in the second direction. On the one hand, the scraping element 31 can perform scraping and cleaning work in the second direction, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency and effect of the filter element 22. On the other hand, the scraping element 31 can be reset, making it convenient for the user to perform the next scraping and cleaning operation.

[0126] Among them, the elastic element 26 is a component with good elastic deformation, such as a spring.

[0127] Reference Figures 8-10 In some examples, the mounting base 23 includes a fixing ring 231, which is located radially between the peripheral wall of the dust cup 21 and the filter element 22, and the fixing ring 231 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the filter element 22. A sealing element 27 is provided between the fixing ring 231 and the peripheral wall of the dust cup 21.

[0128] The seal 27 here can seal the gap between the fixing ring 231 and the dust cup 21. On the one hand, it can ensure the airtightness of the structure and not affect the dust collection efficiency of the vacuum cleaner 100. On the other hand, it can prevent garbage, dirt and other debris in the dust collection chamber 212a from flowing out from the gap, such as entering the fan and affecting the life of the fan.

[0129] Furthermore, the fixing base 23 also includes: a fixing arm 232, which extends along the axial direction of the dust cup 21. One end of the fixing arm 232 is connected to the fixing ring 231. The fixing arm 232 forms a limiting channel 2320, which communicates with the first through hole 2311. A limiting member 241 is disposed in the limiting channel 2320, and the limiting member 241 slides in cooperation with the limiting channel 2320.

[0130] During the process of scraping the filter element 22 by the scraping element 31, the limiting element 241 slides along the extension direction of the limiting channel 2320. The limiting channel 2320 can limit the limiting element 241, so that the guide element 24 can move more reliably and stably, thereby ensuring the movement stability of the scraping element 31 and preventing the scraping element 31 from shifting.

[0131] In some embodiments, the limiting channel 2320 includes, but is not limited to, a groove, a cylindrical channel, or a cuboid channel. The projected area of ​​the limiting member 241 along the axial direction perpendicular to the guide member 24 is within the range of the projected area of ​​the limiting channel 2320 along the axial direction perpendicular to the guide member 24. The cross-sectional shape of the limiting channel 2320 along the axial direction perpendicular to the guide member 24 may be the same as or different from the cross-sectional shape of the limiting member 241 along the axial direction perpendicular to the guide member 24. For example, the limiting channel 2320 includes a groove, and the opening of the groove of the limiting channel 2320 forms a constriction to prevent the limiting member 241 from disengaging from the limiting channel 2320. For example, the cross-sectional shapes of the limiting channel 2320 and the limiting member 241 along the axial direction perpendicular to the guide member 24 may be square, trapezoidal, circular, U-shaped, etc.

[0132] Reference Figure 7 and Figure 10 In some specific embodiments, the scraping assembly 30 further includes a connector 38, which is connected between the first transmission mechanism 33 and the scraping member 31.

[0133] The connector 38 can transmit power and motion, enabling the first moving member 331 to drive the scraping member 31 to move. On the other hand, it can change the position of the scraping member 31 relative to the filter member 22, so that the scraping member 31 is initially located at the starting position of the filter member 22. In this way, when the first moving member 331 moves along the first direction, it ensures that the scraping member 31 can completely scrape the filter member 22 during the scraping operation, which also improves the scraping effect of the scraping member 31 to a certain extent.

[0134] Among them, reference Figure 7 and Figure 10The fixed base 23 also has a second through hole 2312, through which the connector 38 passes. By cooperating with the connector 38, the fixed base 23 can guide, limit and support the connector 38, thereby enabling the connector 38 to move more reliably and stably, further improving the movement stability of the scraper 31.

[0135] In other examples, a sealing ring 28 is provided between the retaining ring 231 and the filter element 22. The sealing ring 28 can seal the gap between the retaining ring 231 and the filter element 22. For example, the sealing ring 28 can be mounted on the cyclone cone assembly, which is installed inside the filter body 222 and detachably connected to the retaining ring 231. By setting the sealing ring 28, the sealing effect between the cyclone cone assembly and the retaining ring 231 is ensured. The sealing ring 28 can ensure the airtightness of the structure and not affect the dust collection efficiency of the vacuum cleaner 100. On the other hand, it can prevent garbage and dirt in the dust collection chamber 212a from flowing out from the gaps, such as entering the fan and affecting the life of the fan.

[0136] In some embodiments, the guide member 24 and the connector 38 are arranged in parallel, and both are parallel to a first direction or a second direction; and / or, the guide member 24 and the connector 38 are symmetrically arranged with respect to the central axis of the fixed base 23 or the dust cup 21; and / or, the first through hole 2311 and the second through hole 2312 are symmetrically arranged with respect to the central axis of the fixed base 23 or the dust cup 21. Exemplarily, the shape of the guide member 24 includes, but is not limited to, a cylinder, a cuboid, a cube, etc. During the movement of the scraper member 31 driven by the connector 38, the scraper member 31 may experience axial or radial swaying, affecting the scraping effect. For example, due to the weight of the scraper member 31 itself, the end opposite to the end connected to the connector 38 of the scraper member 31 may sway downwards. Therefore, by adding the guide member 24, in conjunction with the connector 38, it is ensured that the scraper member 31 moves smoothly during the up-and-down scraping of the filter member 22.

[0137] Specifically, by arranging the guide member 24 and the connector 38 in parallel, and both being parallel to the first or second direction, the scraper member 31 can move smoothly along the first or second direction under the guidance of the guide member 24 and the connector 38. For example, the parallel arrangement of the guide member 24 and the connector 38 can mean that the central axis of the guide member 24 is parallel to the central axis of the connector 38.

[0138] It should be noted that the parallelism described in this disclosure can be approximately parallel, and errors caused by assembly errors, the fact that the shapes of the guide 24 and the connector 38 are not exactly regular shapes, etc., are allowed.

[0139] To further ensure the smooth movement of the scraper 31, the guide 24 and the connector 38 are symmetrically arranged relative to the central axis of the fixed base 23 or the dust cup 21; and / or, the first through hole 2311 and the second through hole 2312 are symmetrically arranged relative to the central axis of the fixed base 23 or the dust cup 21. By symmetrically arranging the guide 24 and the connector 38, and / or the first through hole 2311 and the second through hole 2312, relative to the central axis of the fixed base 23 or the dust cup 21, it can ensure a more balanced support or guidance of the scraper 31 by the guide 24 and the connector 38. Exemplarily, the fixed base 23 can be annular, and the central axis of the fixed base 23 can be the central axis of the annulus formed by the outer periphery of the fixed base 23. Exemplarily, the dust cup 21 can be cylindrical, and the central axis of the dust cup 21 can be the central axis of the annulus formed by the inner wall of the dust cup 21.

[0140] It should be noted that the symmetrical arrangement described in this article is approximately symmetrical. As long as the scraping component 31 can move relatively smoothly along the first or second direction, errors caused by factors such as the non-absolutely symmetrical structure of the fixing base 23 or the dust cup 21, or installation dimensional errors are permissible. For example, the shape of the fixing base 23 is approximately annular, but not necessarily an exact annular shape; similarly, the shape of the dust cup 21 is approximately cylindrical, but not necessarily an exact cylindrical shape.

[0141] The following is combined Figures 11-15 A cleaning system 400 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is described.

[0142] Reference Figure 11 The cleaning system 400 according to an embodiment of this disclosure includes a vacuum cleaner 100 and a cleaning base station 50. The vacuum cleaner 100 is the same as the vacuum cleaner 100 described in any of the above embodiments. The cleaning base station 50 is used in conjunction with the vacuum cleaner 100 and has a docking position 50a for the vacuum cleaner 100 to rest on. When the user stops using the vacuum cleaner 100, they can place it on the docking position 50a for convenient daily storage. Specifically, the user can place the bottom of the dust cup 21 of the vacuum cleaner 100 on the docking position of the cleaning base station 50. The cleaning base station 50 is used at least for maintaining the vacuum cleaner 100, including but not limited to charging, dust collection, dust scraping, cleaning the floor brush, and storing accessories.

[0143] According to the cleaning system 400 of this disclosure, by providing a docking position 50a on the cleaning base station 50 for the vacuum cleaner 100 to dock, the vacuum cleaner 100 can be placed on the docking position 50a when the user stops using the vacuum cleaner 100, which provides convenience for the user's subsequent use.

[0144] Reference Figures 12-15In some embodiments, the cleaning base station 50 includes a base station body 51 and a driving device 52. The driving device 52 is disposed on the base station body 51 and includes a pushing member 521. The pushing member 521 is used to push the toggle member 32 to move along the second direction so as to drive the scraping member 31 to scrape the filter member 22 along the first direction.

[0145] When the user uses the vacuum cleaner 100, the vacuum cleaner 100 can be placed on the docking position 50a of the cleaning base station 50. The pushing part 521 of the cleaning base station 50 cooperates with the actuating part 32 of the vacuum cleaner 100 to drive the actuating part 32 to move in the second direction. This drives the scraping part 31 to scrape the filter 22 in the first direction through the first transmission mechanism 33. The scraping part 31 can scrape and clean the filter 22 without user operation, thus achieving automatic dust removal.

[0146] Reference Figure 14 and Figure 15 In some specific embodiments, the driving device 52 includes a driving motor 522 and a second transmission mechanism 523. The second transmission mechanism 523 includes a second rotating member 5231 and a second moving member 5232. The second rotating member 5231 and the second moving member 5232 are connected in a transmission manner. The second rotating member 5231 is connected to the driving motor 522 and rotates under the drive of the driving motor 522. The second moving member 5232 is connected to the pushing member 521 and drives the pushing member 521 to move along a first direction and a second direction.

[0147] When the vacuum cleaner 100 is placed in the parking position 50a of the cleaning base station 50, when the filter element 22 needs to be cleaned, the drive motor 522 drives the second rotating member 5231 to rotate. The second rotating member 5231 converts the rotational motion into the linear motion of the second moving member 5232 along the second direction. The second moving member 5232 drives the pushing member 521 to move along the second direction. The pushing member 521 then drives the actuating member 32 to move along the second direction. Finally, the first transmission mechanism 33 drives the scraping member 31 to move along the first direction, so that the scraping member 31 can scrape the filter element 22 along the first direction.

[0148] Subsequently, the drive motor 522 can drive the second rotating member 5231 to rotate in the opposite direction. The second rotating member 5231 converts the rotational motion into the linear motion of the second moving member 5232 along the first direction. The second moving member 5232 drives the pushing member 521 to move along the first direction, so that the pushing member 521 is reset. After the toggle member 32 is reset, it can drive the toggle member 32 to move along the second direction again. This process is repeated to achieve the scraping and cleaning of the filter element 22.

[0149] In other embodiments, the drive motor 522 stops working, and the pusher 521, without power, no longer moves along the second direction. Under the push of the reset member 36, the toggle member 32 drives the pusher 521 to move along the first direction, thereby resetting the toggle member 32 and the pusher 521. Specifically, when the drive motor 522 drives the pusher 521 to its limit position along the second direction, the drive motor 522 can be controlled to stop working, and the force of the reset member 36 drives the pusher 521 to move along the first direction to the reset position.

[0150] In the above technical solution, by setting the driving device 52 of the cleaning base station 50 to include a driving motor 522 and a second transmission mechanism 523, the driving motor 522 can drive the toggle member 32, and the scraping member 31 can complete the scraping and cleaning work of the filter member 22 without the user's manual operation, which greatly improves the user experience.

[0151] Continue to refer to Figure 14 and Figure 15 In some examples, the second rotating component 5231 is a screw, and the second moving component 5232 is a slider, with the screw and slider being threadedly connected.

[0152] When the cleaning system 400 automatically scrapes the filter element 22, the drive motor 522 drives the screw to rotate. Since the screw and the slider are threadedly connected, the slider cannot rotate with the screw and can only move in a straight line along the length of the screw, thereby driving the pusher to move in the second and first directions, and finally driving the scraping assembly 30 to complete the automatic scraping cleaning work.

[0153] Therefore, in the above technical solution, by setting the second rotating component 5231 as a screw and the second moving component 5232 as a slider, the motion form can be changed by utilizing the threaded connection between the slider and the screw. The rotational motion of the drive motor 522 is converted into linear motion of the slider along the length of the screw, so that the drive motor 522 can drive the scraping assembly 30 to complete the automatic scraping cleaning operation through the second transmission mechanism 523. The screw and slider have a simple structure, reliable operation, and can ensure safety in the automatic scraping cleaning operation of the cleaning system. They are also easy to manufacture, which helps to reduce production costs.

[0154] Of course, the structure of the second rotating member 5231 and the second moving member 5232 is not limited to screw and slider. For example, the second rotating member 5231 and the second moving member 5232 can also form a gear and rack mechanism, etc. Any structural form that can convert rotational motion into moving motion is within the protection scope of this disclosure.

[0155] Refer again Figure 14 and Figure 15In some specific examples, the second moving element 5232 moves between a first position and a second position; the clean base station 50 also includes a first position detection element 53 and a second position detection element 54.

[0156] The first position and the second position are the two extreme positions of the movement range of the second moving member 5232. The first position can refer to the bottom of the second rotating member 5231 along the first direction, and the second position can refer to the top of the second rotating member 5231 along the second direction. By moving the second moving member 5232 between the first and second positions, the scraping assembly 30 can complete the scraping cleaning work along the first and second directions.

[0157] The cleaning base station 50 is also provided with a first position detection element 53 and a second position detection element 54, which are used to detect the position of the second moving element 5232 so as to control the rotation direction of the drive motor 522 and drive the second rotating element 5231 to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise, thereby changing the movement direction of the second moving element 5232.

[0158] When the first position detection component 53 detects that the second moving component 5232 or the pushing component 521 has moved to the first position, the cleaning base station 50 controls the drive motor 522 to rotate around the first rotation direction.

[0159] When the second position detection element 54 detects that the second moving element 5232 or the pushing element 521 has moved to the second position, the cleaning base station 50 controls the drive motor 522 to rotate around a second rotation direction opposite to the first rotation direction.

[0160] Specifically, when the first position detection element 53 detects that the second moving element 5232 or the pushing element 521 is in the first position, the cleaning base station 50 controls the drive motor 522 to rotate around the first rotation direction (e.g., clockwise). The drive motor 522 drives the second rotating element 5231 to rotate along the first rotation direction. The second rotating element 5231 drives the second moving element 5232 to move linearly along the second direction. The pushing element 521 moves along the second direction under the drive of the second moving element 5232. Thus, the scraping element 31 is driven to move along the first direction through the toggle element 32 and the first transmission mechanism 33 to perform scraping cleaning work along the first direction.

[0161] When the second position detection element 54 detects that the second moving element 5232 or the pushing element 521 has moved to the second position, the cleaning base station 50 controls the drive motor 522 to rotate around the second rotation direction (e.g., counterclockwise). The drive motor 522 drives the second rotating element 5231 to rotate along the second rotation direction. The second rotating element 5231 drives the second moving element 5232 to move linearly along the first direction. The pushing element 521 moves along the first direction under the drive of the second moving element 5232 until it moves to the initial position, thereby avoiding the movement path of the toggle element 32. This allows the scraping element 31 to move to the initial position along the second direction and perform scraping cleaning work along the second direction.

[0162] In the above technical solution, by setting the first position detection element 53 and the second position detection element 54, the position of the second moving element 5232 or the pushing element 521 can be detected, which makes it convenient to control the rotation direction of the drive motor 522 according to the position of the second moving element 5232 or the pushing element 521, so that the drive device 52 and the scraping assembly 30 work in coordination to complete multiple scraping and cleaning operations along the first direction and the second direction. This greatly reduces the user's workflow and improves the user's comfort.

[0163] Reference Figure 13 and Figure 14 In some examples, the drive device 52 is located inside the base station body 51, which has a second through hole 51a through which the pusher 521 passes, so that the pusher 521 pushes the toggle member 32 to move in a second direction.

[0164] The base station body 51 has a second through hole 51a through which the pusher 521 passes, allowing at least a portion of the pusher 521 to extend out of the second through hole 51a, so that the pusher 521 pushes the actuating member 32 to move in the second direction, which facilitates the cooperation with the first transmission mechanism 33 to complete the scraping and cleaning work.

[0165] In the prior art, the movement direction of the actuating component is set to the same direction as the disassembly direction of the dust cup assembly. The actuating component often needs to be located near the top of the dust cup 21, that is, at the upper part along the first direction, or even above the top of the dust cup 21 and located outside the dust cup, in order to meet the movement process of the scraping component. This may result in the actuating component possibly requiring additional structural support, and may make the overall structure of the vacuum cleaner longer and less aesthetically pleasing. At the same time, if electric dust scraping is to be achieved through the base station, either the docking part between the base station and the vacuum cleaner needs to extend to the actuating component, which would make the overall structure of the base station too tall and less aesthetically pleasing, or the pushing component of the base station needs to extend outside the base station to dock with the actuating component, which poses a safety hazard during use. In this disclosure, the movement direction of the actuating member 32 is set to be opposite to the disassembly direction of the dust cup assembly 20. On the one hand, this can prevent the dust cup 21 from falling off during the movement of the actuating member 32, reducing the risk of loose assembly of the dust cup 21. On the other hand, this allows the actuating member 32 to be positioned near the bottom of the dust cup 21, that is, lower along the first direction. This makes it convenient for the bottom of the dust cup 21 to connect with the base station 50 when the vacuum cleaner 100 is connected to the cleaning base station 50, so that electric dust removal can be achieved without setting the base station too high. The solution of this disclosure embodiment can achieve both electric and manual dust removal, thereby meeting the usage needs of different users.
