[0030] With technological advancements, handheld devices have entered countless households, allowing users to operate them for cleaning and bringing great convenience to their lives. Users can operate handheld devices to clean more precisely, proactively, and effectively. Handheld devices can not only sweep floors but also clean curtains, cabinet tops, and narrow crevices.

[0031] In related technologies, the handheld portion of handheld devices suffers from poor user experience. This disclosure provides a handheld device that at least partially solves the aforementioned technical problems.

[0032] This disclosure is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0033] This disclosure provides a handheld device 100, and the pressing operation of the button portion 120 of the handheld device 100 provided by this disclosure is more natural, comfortable and effortless.

[0034] The handheld device 100 can be a handheld vacuum cleaner, a handheld sweeper, a handheld mop, a handheld floor scrubber, a handheld sweeper and mop combo, or other cleaning equipment. Figures 1, 2, and 3 show the structural schematic diagram of the hand grip of the handheld device 100. When the handheld device 100 is a handheld vacuum cleaner, it also includes a brush head assembly, a dust storage assembly, a drive assembly, etc. The structure of these components is known to those skilled in the art. Those skilled in the art can adapt the design according to the required function, or adopt existing structures. No limitation is made in this disclosure.

[0035] As shown in Figures 1, 2 and 3, the handheld device 100 includes a grip portion 110 and a button portion 120. The grip portion 110 has a fixing hole 111, and the button portion 120 is mounted in the fixing hole 111 and can move relative to the fixing hole 111 under external pressure. The moving direction of the button portion 120 is perpendicular to the grip portion 110.

[0036] When using the handheld device 100 of this application, the user holds the grip part 110 and guides other parts of the handheld device 100 (brush head assembly, etc.) to move through the grip part 110, thereby cleaning the object to be cleaned.

[0037] In some embodiments, the fixing hole 111 on the grip 110 can be a through hole or a blind hole, and is not limited in this disclosure. After the button part 120 is installed in the fixing hole 111, the button part 120 may partially protrude from the fixing hole 111, that is, the button part 120 is partially located inside the fixing hole 111 and partially located outside the fixing hole 111, with the user's finger pressing the button part 120 from outside the fixing hole 111; or the button part 120 may not protrude from the fixing hole 111, that is, the entire button part 120 is located inside the fixing hole 111, with the user's finger inserted into the fixing hole 111 to press the button part 120. When the button part 120 is partially located inside the fixing hole 111 and partially located outside the fixing hole 111, the user can clearly see the position and status of the button part 120, enhancing the intuitiveness and convenience of operation. When the entire button part 120 is located inside the fixing hole 111, the user can only press the button part 120 by inserting their finger into the fixing hole 111. This can reduce the probability of the user accidentally touching the button part 120 to a certain extent and help improve the user experience.

[0038] The grip portion 110 can have various shapes. To facilitate user handholding, the grip portion 110 can be cylindrical. In some embodiments, the grip portion 110 can be cylindrical or... The cylindrical shape allows the user's hand to wrap around the circumference of the grip portion 110, increasing the contact area between the user and the grip portion 110 and increasing the friction between them, thereby improving the stability of the user holding the entire handheld device 100.

[0039] The movement direction of the button portion 120 is perpendicular to the grip portion 110, meaning that the movement direction of the button portion 120 is perpendicular to the length direction of the grip portion 110 (as shown by the arrow in Figure 1). Because the movement direction of the button portion 120 is perpendicular to the length direction of the grip portion 110, this design ensures that when the user holds the grip portion 110 of the handheld device 100 in the circumferential direction, the bending direction of their fingers is basically consistent with the movement direction of the button portion 120. Therefore, it is convenient to press the button portion 120 with one's fingers. This pressing method, perpendicular to the grip portion 110, is more ergonomic, allowing the user to apply less force to move the button portion 120, making the pressing operation of the button portion 120 more natural, comfortable, and effortless, thus improving the user experience.

[0040] Since the button part 120 can move relative to the fixing hole 111 when pressed by an external force, and the fixing hole 111 is provided on the grip part 110, the user can press the button part 120 to change the position of the button part 120 relative to the grip part 110. When an electronic switch or other device is installed on the movement path of the button part 120, it can drive the electronic switch to start or stop, so as to realize the opening and closing of the handheld device 100 or control the operating power of the handheld device 100.

[0041] It should be noted that the handheld device 100 of this disclosure can be used in handheld vacuum cleaners, handheld irons, floor scrubbers, and other electrical appliances, and is not limited thereto in this disclosure. In some embodiments, the handheld device 100 of this disclosure is used in a handheld vacuum cleaner. When the user presses the button 120, the vacuum cleaner starts to clean the items to be cleaned; when the user does not press the button 120, the vacuum cleaner is in the off state.

[0042] In some embodiments, the handheld device 100 further includes a stop portion 130, which protrudes from the grip portion 110 and is disposed below the button portion 120.

[0043] The stop portion 130 protrudes from the grip portion 110, meaning that the surface of the stop portion 130 is not flush with the surface of the grip portion 110; the stop portion 130 protrudes outward relative to the surface of the grip portion 110. Since the stop portion 130 protrudes from the grip portion 110 and is located below the button portion 120, when a user touches the stop portion 130, the stop portion 130 provides a clear tactile feedback, allowing the user to quickly locate the button portion 120 by touching the stop portion 130. This facilitates the use of the handheld device 100 of this disclosure and helps improve the user experience.

[0044] The stop portion 130 being located below the grip portion 110 means that when the handheld device 100 is in the working state, the stop portion 130 is located below the grip portion 110. Because the stop portion 130 is located below the grip portion 110, it can also limit and guide the user's finger pressing the button portion 120, ensuring that the finger pressing the button portion 120 is positioned above the stop portion 130 and on the button portion 120, making it easier for the user to press the button portion 120.

[0045] When using the handheld device 100 disclosed herein, the user's fingers can also rest on the stop portion 130. The stop portion 130 can support the user's fingers, making it easier for the user to hold the handheld device 100 and reducing accidental touches due to hand sweating or slippage.

[0046] In some embodiments, the length of the stop portion 130 protruding from the grip portion 110 is greater than the length of the button portion 120 protruding from the grip portion 110.

[0047] In other words, part of the button portion 120 can be located inside the fixing hole 111, and the other part of the button portion 120 can be located outside the fixing hole 111 (in other words, the part of the button portion 120 outside the fixing hole 111 protrudes from the grip portion 110). The length of the stop portion 130 protruding outward from the surface of the grip portion 110 is greater than the length of the button portion 120 protruding outward from the surface of the grip portion 110. With this design, both the button portion 120 and the stop portion 130 protrude from the grip portion 110, and the stop portion 130 protrudes longer, so that the stop portion 130 can guide the user's finger when pressing the button portion 120. When the user needs to press the button portion 120, he can place his finger on the stop portion 130 and move it along the stop portion 130 towards the button portion 120 until force is applied to the button portion 120, thus pressing the button portion 120. In other words, the length of the stop portion 130 protruding from the grip portion 110 is greater than the length of the button portion 120 protruding from the grip portion 110. This allows the stop portion 130 to support and limit the fingers while also guiding the fingers when the button portion 120 is pressed, making it easier for the user to press the button portion 120 and improving the user experience.

[0048] In some embodiments, the stop portion 130 is in contact with or spaced from the button portion 120.

[0049] The stop portion 130 and the button portion 120 may be in contact without any gap, that is, the stop portion 130 and the button portion 120 are in contact; or the stop portion 130 and the button portion 120 may be in contact with a certain gap, that is, the stop portion 130 and the button portion 120 are spaced apart.

[0050] When the stop portion 130 and the button portion 120 are in contact, the stop portion 130 can guide the movement of the button portion 120 and restrict the button portion 120, so that the button portion 120 moves in a direction perpendicular to the grip portion 110 under the action of external force, which helps to improve the stability of the button portion 120 during movement.

[0051] When the stop part 130 and the button part 120 are spaced apart, there is a gap between the stop part 130 and the button part 120, and the stop part 130 and the button part 120 do not contact each other. This helps to reduce the friction force experienced by the button part 120 during movement, allowing the user to press the button part 120 with less force to move the button part 120, which helps to make the pressing operation of the button part 120 more comfortable and effortless.

[0052] In some embodiments, the stop portion 130 is perpendicular to the grip portion 110.

[0053] In other words, the length direction of the stop portion 130 is perpendicular to the length direction of the grip portion 110. This perpendicular structure provides better support and stability, making the stop portion 130 less prone to deformation or damage under force, thus enhancing the structural stability of the handheld device 100. Furthermore, with this design, the movement direction of the button portion 120 is perpendicular to the length direction of the grip portion 110, and the stop portion 130 is perpendicular to the grip portion 110, while its length direction is parallel to the movement direction of the button portion 120. When using the handheld device 100, the user's fingers can rest on the stop portion 130 and move along it towards the grip portion 110 to press the button portion 120. The stop portion 130 guides the finger, ensuring that the finger remains pressed on the button portion 120 throughout the pressing process, facilitating operation and providing a better user experience.

[0054] It should be noted that the perpendicularity between the stop portion 130 and the grip portion 110 does not strictly mean that the included angle between the stop portion 130 and the grip portion 110 is 90°. Due to errors in processing, manufacturing, assembly, etc., the included angle between the stop portion 130 and the grip portion 110 can be 80°, 85°, 87°, 89°, 92°, 95°, 100°, etc. Therefore, in this disclosure, the included angle between the stop portion 130 and the grip portion 110 is between 80° and 100° and falls within the scope of the perpendicularity described in this disclosure.

[0055] As shown in Figures 6 and 7, in some embodiments, the button portion 120 has a first latching portion 124, and the grip portion 110 has a second latching portion 114, with the first latching portion 124 latching onto the second latching portion 114.

[0056] Figure 6 shows a cross-sectional view along the BB direction when the first latching part 124 and the second latching part 114 are engaged in Figure 3 and the button part 120 extends to its limit position. Figure 7 shows a partial enlarged view of point D in Figure 6. As shown in Figures 6 and 7, when the button part 120 is about to detach from the gripping part 110, the first latching part 124 and the second latching part 114 engage (at this time, the button part 120 extends to its limit position and cannot extend further), limiting the position of the button part 120 and preventing the button part 120 from detaching from the gripping part 110 due to the elastic force of the elastic member 170.

[0057] As shown in Figures 4 and 5, in some embodiments, the gripping portion 110 also has a second abutting portion 115, and the first engaging portion 124 can abut against the second abutting portion 115.

[0058] Figures 4 and 5 show cross-sectional views along the BB direction when the first engaging portion 124 of the button portion 120 and the second abutting portion 115 of the grip portion 110 are in contact, and the button portion 120 is pressed to its limit position. Figure 5 shows a partial enlarged view at point C in Figure 4. As shown in Figures 4 and 5, when the first engaging portion 124 of the button portion 120 and the second abutting portion 115 of the grip portion 110 are in contact (at which point the button portion 120 is pressed to its limit position), the button portion 120 cannot be pressed further.

[0059] As the handheld device 100 is used for an extended period, the first latching portion 124 is prone to deformation or wear, causing it to fail to engage with the second latching portion 114, resulting in the button portion 120 detaching from the grip portion 110. Furthermore, accidents such as drops from heights or strong impacts during use can also cause the engagement between the first latching portion 124 and the second latching portion 114 to fail, leading to the button portion 120 detaching from the grip portion 110. To reduce the risk of the button portion 120 detaching from the grip portion 110, in some embodiments, as shown in Figures 8, 9, 10, and 11, the handheld device 100 also includes a limiting member 160. The limiting member 160 assists the second latching portion 114 in limiting the button portion 120, reducing the risk of the button portion 120 detaching from the grip portion 110 and improving the reliability of the handheld device 100.

[0060] In some embodiments, the button portion 120 has a limiting groove 121, and the limiting member 160 is disposed in the limiting groove 121.

[0061] By designing the limiting member 160 and the limiting groove 121, the movement distance of the button part 120 is limited. When the button part 120 moves to the inner wall of the limiting groove 121 and contacts the limiting member 160, the button part 120 will be unable to continue moving due to the limitation of the limiting member 160. This allows the button part 120 to move only within a limited range, reducing the risk of damage to the button part 120 or other components on the handheld device 100 due to excessive pressing distance. It also reduces the risk of the button part 120 extending too far and detaching from the grip part 110, thereby improving the reliability of the handheld device 100 of this disclosure.

[0062] In some embodiments, the limiting member 160 can be a bolt, and the limiting member 160 is threadedly connected to the grip portion 110, with the limiting member 160 located within the limiting groove 121. Figures 8 and 9 show cross-sectional views along the AA direction when the limiting member in Figure 2 is a bolt and the button portion is pressed to its limit position, and Figures 10 and 11 show cross-sectional views along the AA direction when the limiting member in Figure 2 is a bolt and the button portion is extended to its limit position.

[0063] In some embodiments, the extending direction of the limiting groove 121 is the same as the moving direction of the button portion 120. That is, the length direction of the limiting groove 121 is parallel to the moving direction of the button portion 120. When the button portion 120 moves, the limiting member 160 remains stationary. When the button portion 120 is pressed down until it contacts the inner wall on one side of the length direction of the limiting groove 121, the button portion 120 can no longer be pressed, as shown in FIG9. When the button portion 120 extends to contact the inner wall on the other side of the length direction of the limiting groove 121, the button portion 120 can no longer extend, as shown in FIG11. The fact that the extending direction of the limiting groove 121 is the same as the moving direction of the button portion 120 allows the button portion 120 to be guided by the limiting groove 121 and the limiting member 160 when it moves, enabling the button portion 120 to move stably in a direction perpendicular to the grip portion 110.

[0064] In some embodiments, the limiting groove 121 can be a through groove, and the limiting member 160 passes through the limiting groove 121. The limiting groove 121 being a through groove means that the limiting groove 121 passes through the button portion 120. This through groove design allows the limiting member 160 to pass through the grip portion 110. When the limiting member 160 contacts the inner wall of the limiting groove 121, the contact area between the limiting member 160 and the inner wall of the limiting groove 121 is larger, resulting in a better limiting effect of the limiting member 160 on the button portion 120 and improving the stability of the handheld device 100.

[0065] In some embodiments, the button portion 120 has a pressing surface 122 and a limiting surface 123 connected at an angle, and a limiting groove 121 is provided on the limiting surface 123.

[0066] The pressing surface 122 and the limiting surface 123 are connected at an angle, which can be an acute angle, an obtuse angle, or a right angle. A limiting groove 121 is provided on the limiting surface 123. When the button part 120 is pressed, the user presses the pressing surface 122 of the button part 120, applying force to the button part 120, causing the button part 120 to move. With this design, the pressing surface 122 is used for pressing operations, and the limiting surface 123 is used to set the limiting groove 121. The pressing surface 122 and the limiting surface 123 perform different functions, facilitating the use of the handheld device 100 of this disclosure.

[0067] In some embodiments, the extending direction of the limiting member 160 is inclined relative to the moving direction of the button portion 120. The limiting member 160 is inclined relative to the moving direction of the button portion 120 so that the limiting member 160 can extend into the limiting groove 121 of the button portion 120. The inclined setting can be 90 degrees, or it can be an obtuse angle or an acute angle; this is not limited in this disclosure.

[0068] In some embodiments, the limiting member 160 is detachably connected to the grip portion 110. The detachable connection between the limiting member 160 and the grip portion 110 can be varied, such as snap-fit, threaded connection, or adhesive bonding, and is not limited in this disclosure. This detachable connection allows the limiting member 160 to be removed from the grip portion 110. When the limiting member 160 is damaged, the damaged limiting member 160 can be removed and replaced with a new one, facilitating maintenance of the handheld device 100.

[0069] In addition, as shown in Figures 1, 12, 13, 14 and 15, in some embodiments, the handheld device 100 also includes a handle cover 180, a grip portion 110 is mounted on the handle cover 180, and a limiting member 160 is integrally formed with the handle cover 180.

[0070] The handle cover 180 serves as the mounting base for the grip 110, supporting and fixing it. The structure of the handle cover 180 is diverse and is not limited in this disclosure. Figures 12 and 13 show cross-sectional views along the AA direction of the limit member 160 and handle cover 180 integrally formed in Figure 2, with the button portion 120 pressed to its limit position. Figures 14 and 15 show cross-sectional views along the AA direction of the limit member 160 and handle cover 180 integrally formed in Figure 2, with the button portion 120 extended to its limit position. The limit member 160 and handle cover 180 can be integrally formed by die casting, casting, injection molding, etc., and are not limited in this disclosure. The integral molding of the limiting member 160 and the handle cover 180 helps to simplify the manufacturing process of the limiting member 160 and the handle cover 180, which facilitates the manufacturing of the handheld device 100. The integral molding of the limiting member 160 and the handle cover 180 also helps to ensure the connection between the limiting member 160 and the handle cover 180, thereby ensuring the stability of the movement of the button part 120.

[0071] In some embodiments, the grip portion 110 includes a bracket 112 and a main body 113. The bracket 112 is mounted on the main body 113, a fixing hole 111 is provided on the main body 113, a button portion 120 is mounted on the bracket 112, and a limiting member 160 is provided inside the main body 113.

[0072] With this design, the grip part 110 includes a support 112 and a main body 113, which are in a split structure. The support 112 and the main body 113 are processed separately and then assembled together, which facilitates the manufacturing of the grip part 110 and helps to reduce the manufacturing difficulty of the grip part 110.

[0073] In some embodiments, the handheld device 100 further includes an elastic element 170, which is mounted between the button portion 120 and the bracket 112.

[0074] Under the action of external force, the button part 120 will move relative to the grip part 110. After the external force is removed, the button part 120 will stop in the moved position. With the elastic member 170 provided, when the external force applied to the button part 120 disappears, the button part 120 will return to the initial position when it is not pressed under the action of the elastic member 170, so that the button part 120 resets and makes it convenient to use the handheld device 100.

[0075] The elastic element 170 can be a spring, an elastic rubber block, etc. In some embodiments, the elastic element 170 is a spring. Under the action of an external force, the button part 120 will move relative to the grip part 110, and the spring will compress. When the external force applied to the button part 120 disappears, the spring restores its deformation and drives the button part 120 back to its initial position when it is not pressed.

[0076] In summary, this disclosure provides a handheld device 100, which includes a grip portion 110 and a button portion 120. The grip portion 110 has a fixing hole 111, and the button portion 120 is mounted in the fixing hole 111 and partially exposed thereout. It can move relative to the fixing hole 111 under external pressure, and the movement direction of the button portion 120 is perpendicular to the grip portion 110. Because the movement direction of the button portion 120 is perpendicular to the grip portion 110, this design allows the user's fingers to bend in a direction that is essentially consistent with the movement direction of the button portion 120 when holding the grip portion 110 of the handheld device 100. Therefore, the button portion 120 can be easily pressed using the thumb, index finger, or middle finger. This pressing method perpendicular to the grip portion 110 is more ergonomic, allowing the user to apply less force to move the button portion 120, making the pressing operation of the button portion 120 more natural, comfortable, and effortless.

[0077] The stop portion 130 allows users to quickly locate the button portion 120 by touching it, facilitating the use of the handheld device 100 and improving the user experience. Furthermore, the stop portion 130 limits the user's finger from pressing the button portion 120, ensuring the finger is positioned above and on the button portion 120, making it easier to press. Additionally, when using the handheld device 100, the user's fingers can rest on the stop portion 130, improving grip and reducing slippage due to sweaty hands.

[0078] This disclosure provides a handheld device, comprising: a grip portion having a fixing hole; and a button portion mounted in the fixing hole and movable relative to the fixing hole under external pressure; wherein the moving direction of the button portion is perpendicular to the grip portion.

[0079] Because the button moves perpendicular to the grip, this design ensures that when holding the device, the user's fingers bend in the same direction as the button's movement. This allows for easy pressing of the button with the fingers. This perpendicular pressing method is more ergonomic, requiring less force to move the button and making the pressing operation more natural, comfortable, and effortless, thus improving the user experience.

[0080] In some embodiments, the handheld device further includes a stop portion that protrudes from the grip portion and is disposed below the button portion.

[0084] In some embodiments, the handheld device further includes a limiting member, the button portion having a limiting groove, and the limiting member being disposed within the limiting groove.

[0085] In some embodiments, the extending direction of the limiting groove is the same as the moving direction of the button portion.

[0086] In some embodiments, the limiting groove is a through groove, and the limiting member passes through the limiting groove.

[0087] In some embodiments, the button portion has a pressing surface and a limiting surface connected at an angle, and the limiting groove is disposed on the limiting surface.

[0088] In some embodiments, the extending direction of the limiting member is inclined relative to the moving direction of the button portion.

[0089] In some embodiments, the limiting member is detachably connected to the gripping portion.

[0090] In some embodiments, the handheld device further includes a handle cover, the grip portion is mounted on the handle cover, and the limiting member is integrally formed with the handle cover.

[0091] In some embodiments, the grip portion includes a bracket and a body, the bracket is mounted on the body, the fixing hole is disposed in the body, the button portion is mounted on the bracket, and the limiting member is disposed within the body.

[0092] In some embodiments, the handheld device further includes an elastic element mounted between the button portion and the bracket.

[0093] In some embodiments, the button portion has a first latching portion, the grip portion has a second latching portion, and the first latching portion can latch with the second latching portion.
