Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of cleaning appliance technology, and more particularly to a cleaning device and cleaning system. Background Technology

[0002] Cleaning equipment refers to equipment that can use negative pressure to remove dust from surfaces to be cleaned. Handheld cleaning equipment can be used to vacuum the dust and collect it into the equipment.

[0003] In existing technology, a cleaning system includes cleaning equipment and a base station. The cleaning equipment is equipped with a dust cup and a suction motor. The suction motor is connected to the dust inlet of the dust cup, and the dust inlet of the dust cup is connected to the floor brush of the cleaning equipment. The suction motor creates negative pressure on the floor brush, causing dust to be collected from the dust inlet into the dust cup. When the dust cup needs to be cleaned, the cleaning equipment is placed on the base station, so that the dust collection bag of the base station is connected to the dust outlet on the side of the dust cup away from the dust inlet. The dust in the dust cup is then transferred to the base station by the dust collection motor of the base station.

[0004] However, in the existing cleaning system, the dust cup's exhaust port needs to correspond to the dust collection port on the base station in order to achieve dust collection and cleaning. This results in the dust collection port being set at a high position, which in turn leads to the cleaning system's base station occupying a large space. Utility Model Content

[0005] This application provides cleaning equipment and a cleaning system to solve the problem that existing cleaning systems occupy a large amount of space for base stations.

[0006] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a cleaning device, comprising:

[0007] The equipment body is equipped with an air duct, and an air inlet connected to the air duct is located at the bottom of the equipment body;

[0008] Dust cup assembly, which is located inside the main body of the equipment, has a dust collection chamber;

[0009] The dust cup assembly has a dust inlet and a dust outlet that are connected to the dust collection chamber. The dust inlet is connected to the air duct, and both the dust inlet and the dust outlet are located on the side of the dust cup assembly closer to the air inlet.

[0010] Thus, the cleaning device provided in this application includes a main body and a dust cup assembly. The dust cup assembly has a dust inlet and a dust outlet. Dust is drawn in through the dust inlet and discharged to the base station through the dust outlet. Both the dust inlet and the dust outlet are located on the side of the dust cup assembly facing the air inlet of the air duct. When the cleaning device is used with a base station, because the dust outlet is close to the bottom surface, the dust collection port of the base station can be correspondingly positioned at a lower position. This eliminates the need for an excessively tall structure to accommodate the dust outlet, reducing the vertical space occupied by the base station and making the structure more compact. Simultaneously, it shortens the dust collection path of the base station, reducing airflow resistance during transmission, improving dust collection efficiency, and simplifying the design of the dust collection path.

[0011] In one possible implementation, the cleaning device provided in this application embodiment further includes: a suction component, which is disposed inside the device body and communicates with the dust collection chamber;

[0012] The battery is located inside the main body of the device and on the side of the suction component away from the dust cup assembly, and is electrically connected to the suction component.

[0013] This allows for a more compact overall device structure, avoids interference between the battery and dust cup assembly, facilitates electrical connection between the battery and suction components, reduces wiring length and complexity, lowers resistance and energy loss, and improves power transmission efficiency.

[0014] In one possible implementation, the cleaning device provided in this application includes a dust cup assembly comprising:

[0015] The cup body has a dust collection chamber inside, and the cup body has an opening that connects to the dust collection chamber;

[0016] The filter element is installed inside the dust collection chamber and covers the opening. The dust collection chamber is connected to the suction device through the filter element.

[0017] Both the dust inlet and the dust outlet are located on the side of the cup body away from the opening.

[0018] In this way, when dusty air enters the dust collection chamber from the dust inlet, the dust settles more easily in the dust collection chamber due to gravity, and accumulates at the bottom of the cup near the dust inlet and dust outlet, away from the opening. This makes it easier for the dust to be discharged from the dust outlet during dust collection operations, thus improving the dust collection effect.

[0019] In one possible implementation, the cleaning device provided in this application embodiment has both the dust inlet and the dust outlet located on the side wall of the cup body, and the dust outlet is closer to the suction component than the dust inlet.

[0020] Alternatively, the dust inlet is located at the end of the cup body, and the dust outlet is located on the side wall of the cup body.

[0021] In this way, the dust inlet and dust outlet are located on the side wall of the cup body, making the air duct of the main body of the device parallel to one side of the dust cup. This makes the connection between the dust cup assembly and the air duct more compact and simple, reducing the space occupied inside the device. The dust inlet is located at the end of the cup body, and the dust outlet is located on the side wall of the cup body. This allows the air duct to connect to the end of the dust cup assembly. The direction of airflow is consistent with the connection direction between the dust cup assembly and the air duct, making the airflow smoother and reducing airflow turbulence and resistance, thereby improving dust collection efficiency.

[0022] In one possible implementation, the cleaning device provided in this application embodiment has both the dust inlet and the dust outlet located on the same side of the cup body's extension direction.

[0023] This makes the dust cup assembly more compact and reduces its size in other directions.

[0024] In one possible implementation, the cleaning device provided in this application embodiment has a dust cup cover rotatably mounted on the cup body, and the dust cup cover is placed on the dust discharge port;

[0025] The dust cup cover is configured to rotate away from the cup body to open the dust outlet.

[0026] In this way, when vacuuming, the dust cup cover seals the dust outlet, which can effectively prevent dust in the dust collection chamber of the dust cup assembly from leaking out of the dust outlet and ensure stable airflow in the air duct.

[0027] In one possible implementation, the cleaning device provided in this application embodiment has a distance between the dust exhaust port and the air inlet that is less than or equal to 300 mm and greater than or equal to 200 mm.

[0028] In this way, while ensuring the dust collection function, the layout of the various components inside the main body of the equipment is more reasonable, reducing the space occupied by the cleaning equipment and the corresponding base station.

[0029] In one possible implementation, the cleaning device provided in this application embodiment further includes an air duct conversion component, which is disposed within the device body and located between the dust cup assembly and the suction component.

[0030] The air duct conversion assembly is configured to rotate partially relative to the dust cup assembly so that the air inlet or outlet side of the suction element is connected to the dust collection chamber.

[0031] This eliminates the need for additional fans to collect dust inside the base station, reducing the space occupied inside the base station and making the overall structure of the base station more compact.

[0032] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide a cleaning system, including a base station and cleaning equipment, wherein the base station is provided with a dust collection port, and the dust collection port corresponds to the dust discharge port.

[0033] In one possible implementation, the cleaning system provided in this application embodiment includes a base station equipped with a driving component and an abutment portion on the dust cup cover.

[0034] The drive unit is configured to move or rotate the abutment part when the cleaning equipment is connected to the base station, so that the abutment part drives the dust cup cover to open the dust discharge port.

[0035] This ensures that the dust cup cover opens the dust outlet accurately, allowing the dust outlet to connect precisely with the dust collection channel of the base station, reducing dust leakage during the dust removal process and improving dust collection efficiency.

[0036] In one possible implementation, the cleaning system provided in this application embodiment includes a base station equipped with a seal, and the dust collection port of the seal is located inside the seal.

[0037] The seal is configured to seal against the dust cup assembly when the cleaning equipment is connected to the base station, so as to at least enclose the periphery of the dust outlet.

[0038] This prevents dust from escaping to the outside, keeps the cleaning area clean and tidy, and allows the suction generated by the suction device to be more concentrated on the dust outlet and dust collection channel, enhancing the adsorption of dust.

[0039] In addition to the technical problems solved by this application, the technical features constituting the technical solutions, and the beneficial effects brought about by the technical features of these technical solutions as described above, other technical problems that this application can solve, other technical features contained in the technical solutions, and the beneficial effects brought about by these technical features will be further explained in detail in the specific embodiments.

Detailed Implementation

[0056] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the drawings, the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar components or components having the same or similar functions throughout. The described embodiments are some, but not all, embodiments of this application. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application. The embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0057] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or the internal communication between two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.

[0058] In the description of this application, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this application.

[0059] The terms "first," "second," and "third" (if any) in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a particular order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of this application described herein can be implemented, for example, in orders other than those illustrated or described herein.

[0060] Furthermore, the terms “comprising” and “having”, and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, system, product, or display that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units that are explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not explicitly listed or that are inherent to such process, method, product, or display.

[0061] In existing technology, a cleaning system includes cleaning equipment and a base station. The cleaning equipment is equipped with a dust cup and a suction motor. The suction motor is connected to the dust inlet of the dust cup, and the dust inlet of the dust cup is connected to the floor brush of the cleaning equipment. The suction motor creates negative pressure on the floor brush, causing dust to be collected from the dust inlet into the dust cup. When the dust cup needs to be cleaned, the cleaning equipment is placed on the base station, so that the dust collection bag of the base station is connected to the dust discharge port of the dust cup. The dust in the dust cup is then transferred to the base station by the dust collection motor of the base station.

[0062] However, in the existing cleaning system, the dust discharge port of the dust cup needs to correspond with the dust collection port on the base station to achieve dust collection and cleaning. This results in the dust collection port being set at a high position, which in turn leads to the base station of the cleaning system occupying a large space and makes the airflow path for dust collection in the cleaning equipment and base station longer, resulting in lower dust collection efficiency.

[0063] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, the cleaning equipment and system provided in this application include a main body and a dust cup assembly. The dust cup assembly has a dust inlet and a dust outlet. Dust is drawn in through the dust inlet and discharged to the base station through the dust outlet. Both the dust inlet and the dust outlet are located on the side of the dust cup assembly facing the air inlet of the air duct. When the cleaning equipment is used with a base station, because the dust outlet is close to the bottom surface, the dust collection port of the base station can be correspondingly positioned at a lower location. This eliminates the need for an excessively tall structure to accommodate the dust outlet, reducing the vertical space occupied by the base station and making the structure more compact. Simultaneously, it shortens the dust collection path of the base station, reducing airflow resistance during transmission, improving dust collection efficiency, and simplifying the design of the dust collection path.

[0064] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, so that those skilled in the art can have a clearer and more detailed understanding of the present invention.

[0065] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown in the figure, this application provides a cleaning device, including:

[0066] The equipment body 100 is provided with an air duct 110 and an air inlet 120 connected to the air duct 110 is provided at the bottom of the equipment body 100.

[0067] Dust cup assembly 300 is disposed inside the main body 100 of the equipment and has a dust collection chamber 311;

[0068] The dust cup assembly 300 has a dust inlet 312 and a dust outlet 313 that are connected to the dust collection chamber 311. The dust inlet 312 is connected to the air duct 110. Both the dust inlet 312 and the dust outlet 313 are located on the side of the dust cup assembly 300 near the air inlet 120.

[0069] The air duct 110 provides a dedicated channel for the flow of air and dust, effectively guiding airflow and reducing airflow turbulence and energy loss. The air inlet 120 is located at the bottom of the main body 100 of the equipment, allowing the cleaning equipment to get closer to the dust source when cleaning the floor, and to more directly suck the dust on the floor into the air duct 110, thereby improving the dust collection efficiency.

[0070] The dust collection chamber 311 of the dust cup assembly 300 can store dust, and the dust inlet 312 of the dust cup assembly 300 is connected to the air duct 110, ensuring that the dust-laden air drawn in from the air inlet 120 can smoothly enter the dust collection chamber 311 of the dust cup assembly 300 through the air duct 110.

[0071] The dust discharge port 313 can be connected to the base station 500 to discharge dust from the dust collection chamber 311 into the dust collection bag 560 of the base station 500 during dust collection. Both the dust inlet 312 and the dust discharge port 313 are located on the side of the dust cup assembly 300 facing the air inlet 120. This layout facilitates a reasonable airflow circulation during cleaning. When dust-laden air enters the dust collection chamber 311 through the dust inlet 312, the dust settles within the dust collection chamber 311, thus becoming closer to the dust discharge port 313, facilitating subsequent cleaning of the dust cup assembly 300.

[0072] Therefore, the cleaning equipment provided in this application embodiment includes a main body 100 and a dust cup assembly 300. The dust cup assembly 300 is provided with a dust inlet 312 and a dust outlet 313. Dust is drawn in through the dust inlet 312 and discharged to the base station 500 through the dust outlet 313. Both the dust inlet 312 and the dust outlet 313 are located on the side of the dust cup assembly 300 facing the air inlet 120 of the air duct 110. When the cleaning equipment is used with the base station 500, because the dust outlet 313 is close to the bottom surface, the dust collection port 510 of the base station 500 can be correspondingly set at a lower position. This eliminates the need for the base station 500 to have an excessively tall structure to accommodate the dust outlet 313, reducing the vertical space occupied by the base station 500 and making the structure more compact. Simultaneously, it shortens the dust collection path of the base station 500, thereby reducing airflow resistance during transmission, improving dust collection efficiency, and making the dust collection path design simpler and more direct.

[0073] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 3 As shown, the cleaning equipment also includes: a suction component 200, which is disposed inside the main body 100 of the equipment and is connected to the dust collection chamber 311;

[0074] Battery 210 is disposed inside the main body 100 and located on the side of the suction component 200 away from the dust cup assembly 300, and is electrically connected to the suction component 200.

[0075] The main body 100 of the equipment is equipped with a suction component 200, which can generate suction in the air duct 110 of the cleaning equipment to suck up dust. After the dust collection chamber 311 is connected to the suction component 200, the suction generated by the suction component 200 can smoothly collect the sucked-up dust into the dust collection chamber 311, realizing the initial separation and storage of dust and air.

[0076] This allows for a more compact overall device structure, avoids interference between the battery 210 and the dust cup assembly 300, and facilitates electrical connection between the battery 210 and the suction component 200, reducing the length and complexity of the wiring, lowering resistance and energy loss, and improving the efficiency of power transmission.

[0077] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the dust cup assembly 300 includes:

[0078] The cup body 310 has a dust collection chamber 311 formed inside the cup body 310, and the cup body 310 has an opening 315 that communicates with the dust collection chamber 311.

[0079] The filter element 320 is disposed in the dust collection chamber 311 and covers the opening 315. The dust collection chamber 311 is connected to the suction element 200 through the filter element 320.

[0080] Both the dust inlet 312 and the dust outlet 313 are located on the side of the cup body 310 away from the opening 315.

[0081] The filter element 320 is disposed inside the dust collection chamber 311 and seals the opening 315 on the cup body 310. When dust-laden air enters the dust collection chamber 311 from the dust inlet 312, the dust is blocked by the filter element 320 inside the dust collection chamber 311, while the air can flow to the suction unit 200 after passing through the filter element 320, effectively achieving the separation of dust and air. The filter element 320 includes a nested metal mesh and a HEPA filter.

[0082] Both the dust inlet 312 and the dust outlet 313 are located on the side of the cup body 310 away from the opening 315. When dust-laden air enters the dust collection chamber 311 through the dust inlet 312, due to gravity, the dust settles more easily in the dust collection chamber 311 and accumulates at the bottom of the cup body 310 near the dust inlet 312 and the dust outlet 313, away from the opening 315. In this way, when performing dust collection operations, the dust can be discharged more easily from the dust outlet 313, improving the dust collection effect.

[0083] At the same time, this arrangement makes the dust inlet 312 and dust outlet 313 more compact, reducing the area occupied, which in turn allows for a more compact, miniaturized, and lightweight structure for the dust cup assembly 300. This helps reduce the space occupied inside the cleaning equipment.

[0084] Furthermore, in some embodiments, reference is made to Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, both the dust inlet 312 and the dust outlet 313 are located on the side wall of the cup body 310, and the dust outlet 313 is closer to the suction component 200 than the dust inlet 312.

[0085] The dust inlet 312 is located at the end of the cup body 310, and the dust outlet 313 is located on the side wall of the cup body 310.

[0086] Thus, with the dust inlet 312 and dust outlet 313 located on the side wall of the cup body 310, the air duct 110 of the main body 100 is parallel to one side of the cup body 310, making the connection between the dust cup assembly 300 and the air duct 110 tighter and simpler, reducing the space occupied inside the equipment. Simultaneously, when dust-laden air enters the dust collection chamber 311 from the dust inlet 312, an angle is formed between the dust inlet 312 and the air duct 110, making it easier for dust to settle within the dust collection chamber 311 instead of returning to the air duct 110. Furthermore, because the dust outlet 313 is close to the suction component 200 and close to the dust inlet 312, settled dust is more likely to approach the dust outlet 313, facilitating subsequent cleaning of the dust cup assembly 300. When used in conjunction with the base station 500 for dust collection, it can more efficiently discharge dust into the dust collection bag 560 of the base station 500.

[0087] The dust inlet 312 is located at the end of the cup body 310, and the dust outlet 313 is located on the side wall of the cup body 310. This allows the air duct 110 to be connected to the end of the dust cup assembly 300. The airflow direction is consistent with the connection direction between the dust cup assembly 300 and the air duct 110, reducing corner structures and making the airflow smoother. This reduces airflow turbulence and resistance, thereby improving dust collection efficiency.

[0088] In specific implementation, to prevent dust entering the dust collection chamber 311 from returning to the dust collection chamber 311 through the dust inlet 312, a dust inlet cover can be rotatably installed at the dust inlet 312. Normally, the dust inlet cover seals the dust inlet 312. When the suction unit 200 is running and a negative pressure is formed in the dust collection chamber 311, the dust inlet cover rotates towards the dust collection chamber 311 to allow dust to smoothly enter the dust collection chamber 311. Alternatively, a corner structure can be provided at the dust inlet 312. When the suction unit 200 is running and a negative pressure is formed in the dust collection chamber 311, dust in the air duct 110 can be guided into the dust collection chamber 311 by the airflow. When the suction unit 200 stops running, the tortuous design of the corner structure effectively prevents dust from falling back into the air duct 110.

[0089] For example, in some embodiments, the dust inlet 312 and the dust outlet 313 are both located on the same side of the extending direction of the cup body 310.

[0090] Thus, the dust inlet 312 and the dust outlet 313 are arranged on the same side along the extension direction of the cup body 310, making the structure of the dust cup assembly 300 more compact. Compared with a design where the dust inlet 312 and the dust outlet 313 are distributed on different sides, the size of the dust cup assembly 300 in other directions can be reduced, which is conducive to the overall miniaturization and lightweight design of the cleaning equipment, making it easier for users to operate and carry.

[0091] Furthermore, this can also shorten the length of the connecting duct 110, reduce the complexity of the duct 110, and lower the risk of duct 110 blockage.

[0092] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a dust cup cover 314 is rotatably mounted on the cup body 310, and the dust cup cover 314 covers the dust discharge port 313;

[0093] The dust cup cover 314 is configured to rotate away from the cup body 310 to open the dust outlet 313.

[0094] Thus, when the cleaning equipment is working normally and vacuuming, the dust cup cover 314 seals the dust outlet 313, effectively preventing dust in the dust collection chamber 311 of the dust cup assembly 300 from leaking out of the dust outlet 313. Furthermore, the good seal allows the suction force generated by the suction component 200 to act more concentratedly on the dust inlet 312, ensuring stable airflow within the air duct 110, thereby improving vacuuming efficiency.

[0095] Furthermore, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the distance between the dust outlet 313 and the air inlet 120 is less than or equal to 300mm and greater than or equal to 200mm.

[0096] This distance range allows for a compact design of the internal structure of the cleaning equipment. While ensuring dust collection functionality, it also allows for a more rational layout of the components within the main body 100 of the equipment, reducing the space occupied by the cleaning equipment and its supporting base station 500, and improving the overall portability and practicality of the equipment.

[0097] Furthermore, this distance range allows the dust-laden air drawn in by the air inlet 120 to form a suitable airflow path within the dust cup assembly 300. If the distance is too close, the airflow from the air inlet 120 may directly affect the dust discharge process of the dust outlet 313, causing some dust to be discharged before it has fully settled, thus reducing the dust collection effect; if the distance is too far, the airflow path within the dust cup assembly 300 will be too long, increasing energy loss, which will weaken the suction and affect the dust collection efficiency.

[0098] Meanwhile, the vertical dimensions of the base station 500 are typically related to the distance between the dust exhaust port 313 and the air inlet 120 when the cleaning equipment is connected to the base station 500; that is, the air inlet 120 is located at the bottom of the base station 500, and the air outlet 120 is located at the top of the base station 500. By setting the distance between the dust exhaust port 313 and the air inlet 120 to be less than or equal to 300mm and greater than or equal to 200mm, the vertical dimensions of the base station 500 can be controlled to be around 200mm-300mm, thereby effectively ensuring that the base station 500 occupies a small space.

[0099] In addition, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the cleaning equipment also includes an air duct conversion component 400, which is disposed within the main body 100 of the equipment and located between the dust cup assembly 300 and the suction component 200.

[0100] The air duct conversion assembly 400 is configured to rotate partially relative to the dust cup assembly 300 so that the air inlet side or air outlet side of the suction member 200 is connected to the dust collection chamber 311.

[0101] Thus, when the air duct conversion assembly 400 connects the air inlet side of the suction component 200 with the dust collection chamber 311, the cleaning equipment is in a normal dust suction mode. At this time, the suction component 200 generates suction, which draws dust from the air inlet 120 into the dust collection chamber 311 of the dust cup assembly 300 through the air duct 110.

[0102] When the air duct conversion component 400 rotates, connecting the air outlet side of the suction component 200 with the dust collection chamber 311, the cleaning equipment can perform a dust blowing function. This eliminates the need for an additional fan for dust collection within the base station 500, reducing the space occupied inside the base station 500 and making its overall structure more compact.

[0103] The air duct conversion component 400 of the cleaning equipment itself can connect the air inlet or outlet side of the suction component 200 with the dust collection chamber 311 to complete functions such as dust collection. This also makes the functions of the cleaning equipment more integrated, improves the overall performance and stability of the cleaning equipment, and facilitates the upgrading and improvement of the equipment.

[0104] In specific implementation, the air duct conversion assembly 400 includes a fan mounting frame 410 and a connecting seat 420 connected to each other, and a separator 430 rotatably disposed between the fan mounting frame 410 and the connecting seat 420. The fan mounting frame 410 and the connecting seat 420 are respectively connected to the suction component 200 and the dust cup assembly 300. The separator 430 rotates relative to the fan mounting frame 410 and the connecting seat 420 to switch between a first state and a second state. The rotation center of the separator 430 may be on the axial direction of the suction component 200 or offset relative to the axial direction of the suction component 200 to facilitate the switching of airflow direction.

[0105] The connector 420 is provided with a first air passage 421 and a second air passage 422. The first air passage 421 is used to connect with the outside world or the cleaning system, and the second air passage 422 is used to connect with the dust cup assembly 300 of the cleaning equipment.

[0106] The fan mounting bracket 410 is provided with an air inlet 412 and an air outlet 411. Both the air inlet 412 and the air outlet 411 are connected to the first air passage 421 and the second air passage 422. The air inlet 412 is used to connect with the air inlet side of the suction component 200 of the cleaning equipment, and the air outlet 411 is used to connect with the air outlet side of the suction component 200.

[0107] In the first state, refer to Figure 7 As shown, the separator 430 connects the first air passage 421 and the air outlet 411, and connects the second air passage 422 and the air inlet 412, so that airflow enters the dust cup assembly 300 and sequentially enters the air inlet side of the suction component 200 through the second air passage 422 and the air inlet 412. In other words, it connects the dust cup assembly 300 and the air inlet side of the suction component 200, so that dust enters the dust cup assembly 300 with the airflow.

[0108] In the second state, refer to Figure 8 As shown, the separator 232 connects the first air passage 421 and the air inlet 412, and connects the second air passage 422 and the air outlet 411, so that the airflow from the outside or the cleaning system enters the air inlet side of the suction component 200 sequentially through the first air passage 421 and the air inlet 412, and is discharged from the air outlet side of the suction component 200 sequentially through the air outlet 411 and the second air passage 422 into the dust cup assembly 300. That is, it connects the dust cup assembly 300 and the air outlet side of the suction component 200, so that the suction component 200 can blow the dust in the dust cup assembly 300 to the base station 500.

[0109] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown in the figure, this application embodiment provides a cleaning system, including a base station 500 and a cleaning device. The base station 500 is provided with a dust collection port 510, which corresponds to the dust discharge port 313.

[0110] The cleaning equipment has been described in the above embodiments and will not be repeated here.

[0111] The base station 500 is equipped with a rotatable and closable cover 550. When the cover 550 is opened, the dust collection bag 560 inside the base station 500 can be exposed for replacement. When installing the dust collection bag 560, it should be connected to the dust collection port 510 on the base station 500.

[0112] It should be noted that an additional dust collection fan can be optionally installed inside the base station 500. When the cleaning equipment is connected to the base station 500, the dust in the dust cup assembly 300 can be sucked into the base station by the dust collection fan. Alternatively, the air duct conversion assembly 400 of the cleaning equipment can be retained, so that the suction component 200 and the dust collection fan can collect dust together under the action of the air duct conversion assembly 400.

[0113] Furthermore, in some embodiments, reference is made to Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the base station 500 is equipped with a driving component 520, and the dust cup cover 314 is equipped with an abutment part 3141;

[0114] The drive unit 520 is configured to drive the abutment part 3141 to move or rotate when the cleaning equipment is connected to the base station 500, so that the abutment part 3141 drives the dust cup cover 314 to open the dust discharge port 313.

[0115] Thus, when the cleaning equipment is connected to the base station 500, the cleaning equipment is brought close to the base station 500, and the driving component 520 abuts against the contact part 3141. The driving component 520 automatically drives the contact part 3141 to move, thereby causing the dust cup cover 314 to open the dust discharge port 313. This eliminates the need for manual operation by the user, making the dust collection operation of the cleaning equipment more convenient. Furthermore, it ensures that the dust cup cover 314 accurately opens the dust discharge port 313, ensuring accurate alignment between the dust discharge port 313 and the dust collection channel of the base station 500, reducing dust leakage during the dust discharge process and improving dust collection efficiency.

[0116] Specifically, the driving component 520 can be a protruding top block on the base station 500, and the abutting part 3141 can be a rotating arm connected to the dust cup cover 314. The top block abuts against the rotating arm to drive the rotating arm to rotate toward the dust cup assembly 300, and cause the rotating arm to drive the dust cup cover 314 away from the dust cup assembly 300 to rotate and open the dust discharge port 313.

[0117] Furthermore, an air vent 540 is provided on the base station 500, through which the gas discharged into the base station 500 by the cleaning equipment can be smoothly discharged.

[0118] In some embodiments, reference is made to Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the base station 500 is equipped with a sealing element 530, and the dust collection port 510 of the sealing element 530 is located inside the sealing element 530;

[0119] The seal 530 is configured to seal against the dust cup assembly 300 when the cleaning device is connected to the base station 500, so as to at least surround the periphery of the dust outlet 313.

[0120] Thus, the sealing element 530 surrounds the dust discharge port 313, forming a relatively enclosed space to prevent dust from escaping to the outside and keeping the cleaning area clean and tidy. Furthermore, a good seal reduces airflow leakage, creating a relatively closed air duct 110 system between the cleaning equipment and the base station 500. This allows the suction force generated by the suction element 200 to be more concentrated on the dust discharge port 313 and the dust collection channel during dust removal, enhancing dust adsorption and improving the efficiency of dust entering the dust collection device of the base station 500 from the dust cup assembly 300.

[0121] To further ensure the reliability of the connection between the cleaning equipment and the base station 500, a spring lock 570 can be installed on the base station 500. When the cleaning equipment is to be placed on the base station 500, the cleaning equipment abuts against the spring lock 570 to compress the spring lock 570. After the cleaning equipment is in place, the spring lock 570 resets and locks back into place with the cleaning equipment. When it is necessary to remove the cleaning equipment, the spring lock 570 can be disengaged from the cleaning equipment by pressing a button or other operating mechanism.
