Fig. 12 is an enlarged view of a structure of a region D in fig. 11. Fig. 13 is a cross-sectional view of a base station in an embodiment. As shown in fig. 1, cleaning system 100 includes surface cleaning apparatus 10 and base station 20. Referring to fig. 2-5, the surface cleaning apparatus 10 includes a fan assembly 3 and a dirt cup assembly 1, the fan assembly 3 for generating a suction airstream to draw dirt from a surface to be cleaned into the dirt cup assembly 1. The dirt cup assembly 1 includes a cyclonic separation chamber 12 and a dirt collection chamber 13. The outlet of the cyclonic separating chamber 12 is provided with a rotatable first filter 7. The dust collecting chamber 13 is provided with an ash discharge port 131. The cyclone chamber 12 and the dirt collection chamber 13 may be in the same chamber, i.e. the cyclone chamber 12 is arranged above the dirt collection chamber 13. Or the cyclone chamber 12 is arranged outside the dust collecting chamber 13 and communicated with the dust throwing port 14 (refer to fig. 5).
Referring to fig. 5, the first filter 7 of the cyclone chamber 12 is typically suspended, i.e. one end is rotatably mounted on a corresponding structure of the dirt cup assembly 1, and the other end is suspended in the cyclone chamber 12, and the entangled hair can be dropped from the suspended end. Referring to FIG. 3, a lid 132 is provided at the dirt discharge opening 131 of the dirt collection chamber 13, the lid 132 including a locked state and an openable state, wherein the lid 132 is in the openable state after the surface cleaning apparatus 10 is docked to the base station 20. The locked state of the cover 132 means that the cover cannot be opened without being broken when the locking structure of the cover 132 is in the locked position. The openable state of the cover 132 means that the cover 132 can be opened by an external force, which means a suction force of the suction motor 21 or a force applied to the cover 132 by a user/driving mechanism. The cover 132 is provided with a retaining mechanism, which can make the cover 132 be in a position of closing the ash discharge port 131, but the cover 132 can be moved after receiving a certain external force, so as to open the ash discharge port 131. The retaining mechanism may be a torsion spring or other structure that can accomplish this function. Referring to FIG. 4, a latch structure 17 is also provided on the dirt cup assembly 1 to switch the cover 132 between a latched state and an openable state.
Referring to fig. 11-13, the base station 20 is for docking at least a portion of the surface cleaning apparatus 10, the base station 20 defines a dirt collection chamber 22 for receiving dirt transferred from the dirt discharge outlet 131 of the dirt cup assembly 1, the base station 20 defines an installation space within which is disposed a suction motor 21 for generating a suction airflow, the suction motor 21 being configured to generate the suction airflow to transfer at least a portion of the dirt in the dirt cup assembly 1 into the dirt collection chamber 22 for a predetermined period of time after the surface cleaning apparatus 10 is docked to the base station 20.
With continued reference to fig. 11-13, base station 20 is provided with a door opening mechanism configured to switch cover 132 from the locked state to the openable state after surface cleaning apparatus 10 is docked to base station 20. Base station 20 includes a receiving slot 286 for receiving cover 132, and at least a portion of the door release mechanism is disposed within receiving slot 286. The receiving slot is defined by a top wall 291 and a peripheral wall 294 disposed about the top wall 291. The lid opening mechanism includes a displacement member 231, and the displacement member 231 penetrates the top wall 291. The displacement member 231 has an initial position and an open lid position, and the displacement member 231 moves from the initial position to the open lid position after the surface cleaning apparatus 10 is docked to the base station 20. Referring to fig. 1-3 and 10-12, when the surface cleaning apparatus 10 is docked to the base station 20, the displacement member 231 comes into contact with the button 171 of the locking structure 17, and at this time, the displacement member 231 of the door opening mechanism is moved from the initial position to the door opening position and is held at the door opening position by the pressure of the button 171, and at the same time, the button 171 is also pushed by the displacement member 231 to move inward. When the surface cleaning apparatus is docked, the locking structure 17 is now in the unlocked position and the cover 132 is also switched from the locked state to the openable state and remains in the openable state. At the same time, when the displacement member 231 is in the open lid position, a micro switch within the base station 20 is triggered, which in turn sends a signal to the controller indicating that the surface cleaning apparatus has been docked to the base station 20. The suction motor 21 may be controlled to operate to generate suction force. When the suction motor 21 is operated, the cover 132 may be pivoted by the suction force generated by the suction motor 21 to open the dust discharge port 131. After the surface cleaning device 10 is docked to the base station 20, the fan assembly 3, the dust cup assembly 1, the dust collection chamber 22 and the suction motor 21 are sequentially arranged from top to bottom along the gravity direction, so that the surface cleaning device can be effectively prevented from toppling over.
When the surface cleaning apparatus 10 (handheld vacuum cleaner) is docked to the base station 20, the controller (not shown in the figure) can directly control the operation of the suction motor 21 according to a docking signal (which can be sent by a micro switch, various sensors and other structures), that is, after the handheld vacuum cleaner is placed, the suction motor 21 automatically operates without manual control, and since the cover 132 is in an openable state, the cover 132 moves under the action of suction force to open the dust discharge port 131, and dirt in the dust collection chamber 13 is transferred to a dust cup or a dust bag in the dust collection chamber 22 through a suction airflow generated by the suction motor 21. When the suction motor 21 stops operating, the cover 132 substantially closes the dust discharge port 131 by the holding mechanism. It will be appreciated that when the surface cleaning apparatus 10 (hand-held cleaner) is docked to the base station 20, the controller can control whether the suction motor 21 is operating in accordance with user operation, and if the user needs to empty the dirt cup assembly 1, only the operation of the suction motor 21 need be controlled by a button.
However, since hair may be entangled with the first filter 7, even the suction force generated by the suction motor 21 cannot completely detach all of the entanglement from the first filter 7, and eventually requires the user to manually clean it. Therefore, the present invention adopts a new control method to solve this problem. Specifically, when the hand-held cleaner is docked to the base station 20, the suction motor 21 may be operated automatically or after receiving a control command from a user for a preset period of time to empty the dirt cup, and the first filter 7 is simultaneously driven to rotate for a first preset duration during the preset period of time during which the suction motor 21 is operated. The first preset time period may be equal to or less than a preset time period, and may be set according to specific conditions. It will be understood that the first filter 7 is only required to be rotated for a first preset time during a preset time period of operation of the suction motor 21, and that the control outside the preset time period can be adjusted at will, and is not limited herein. The advantage of using this control is that at the beginning of the operation of the suction motor 21, the first filter 7 starts to rotate under the influence of external forces, creating centrifugal forces, which cause the elongated debris and/or dust attached to the first filter 7 to shake, so that under the air flow created by the suction motor 21, the elongated debris and/or dust can be detached from the first filter 7 and transferred to the dust collecting chamber 22 of the base station 20. The first filter 7 may be rotated in a forward or reverse direction, depending on the driving structure, and is not limited thereto.
Referring to fig. 5-7, the first filter 7 includes a first end 72 proximate the air outlet and a second end 73 distal from the air outlet, the second end 73 being disposed in air. The diameter of the first end 72 is greater than the diameter of the second end 73. The round table or the conical structure is adopted, so that hair wound on the first filter 7 can be separated quickly, and the cleaning efficiency is effectively improved. The first filter 7 comprises a filter frame 71 and a filter screen 74 fixed on the filter frame, a guide rib 76 is arranged around the filter screen 74, the first filter 7 is mounted on the filter bracket 51 through a fixed shaft, and the second end 73 of the first filter 7 is mounted on one end of the fixed shaft 752 far away from the filter bracket 51 through a bearing 753. The fan rotates about the rotation axis P, and a proximal shaft end (an end close to the rotation axis P) of the fan 8 in the radial direction is suspended with respect to a fixed shaft 752, and the fixed shaft 752 is fixedly mounted to the filter holder 51 or the air outlet. When the fan 8 rotates, the fixed shaft 752 does not move, and even if hair is wound around the fixed shaft, the rotation of the fan is not affected.
Cleaning system 100 also includes a controller that controls the operation of suction motor 21, which may be mounted on base station 20, or may be mounted on surface cleaning apparatus 10, and which may be electrically and/or signally connected to base station 20 when surface cleaning apparatus 10 is docked thereto. Of course, the controller may comprise a first controller located on the base station 20 and a second controller located on the surface cleaning apparatus 10, both controllers being operable to control the base station 20 and the surface cleaning apparatus 10 respectively in response to respective signals.
On the basis of the above-described embodiment, several implementations of the first filter 7 being driven in rotation are described below:
fan drive
Referring to fig. 5-8, surface cleaning apparatus 10 further includes a fan 8 disposed at the air outlet, first filter 7 configured to rotate with fan 8, and fan 8 may be disposed within first filter 7 or may be disposed outside first filter 7. The fan 8 may also be integrally formed with the first filter 7. The fan 8 may be driven by the suction airflow generated by the fan assembly 3 within the surface cleaning apparatus 10 (see figure 5) and may also be driven by the airflow generated by the suction motor 21 (see figure 8). The fan comprises a plurality of fan blades, and the fan blades can be arranged inside the first filter and also can be arranged on the periphery of the first filter, namely the periphery of the filter screen. Furthermore, the fan blade can be integrally formed with the guide rib, namely the guide rib plays a role of the fan blade. The guide rib can drive the first filter to rotate under the action of the airflow.
When the suction motor 21 is used to drive the fan 8, since the dirt-collection chamber 13 is in communication with the suction duct of the surface cleaning apparatus 10 via the cyclonic separation chamber 12, when the suction motor 21 is operated, a substantial portion of the airflow will flow in sequence from the suction duct into the cyclonic separation chamber 12, the dirt-collection chamber 13 and then to the dirt-collection chamber 22 of the base station 20, and only a small portion of the airflow will flow through the fan 8, which will not substantially rotate the fan 8 and can be ignored. Therefore, a new structure is required to be designed, and referring to fig. 8, the surface cleaning apparatus 10 is provided with a communication hole 302 for communicating the cyclone chamber 12 with the outside, the communication hole 302 is configured such that during operation of the suction motor 21, the communication hole 302 communicates the outside with the communication hole 302, and the fan 8 is rotated by the air current generated by the suction motor 21. The communication hole is configured to be openable and closable. When the surface cleaning apparatus is used alone, the communication hole is in a closed state. To ensure the rotational speed of the first filter 7, it may be necessary to restrict the air intake passage of the surface cleaning apparatus 10 after the surface cleaning apparatus 10 is docked to the base station 20, where the air intake passage refers to the air duct upstream of the air inlet of the cyclonic separation chamber 12, either with the air inlet of the cyclonic separation chamber 12 being restricted or with the suction opening of the cleaning head being restricted. The limitation here may be that it is completely sealed or partially sealed, only the rotation speed of the first filter 7 needs to be guaranteed. When the air inlet channel is limited and the communication hole is opened, most of the air flow generated by the suction motor passes through the fan and can drive the fan to rotate.
Drive motor drive
Referring to fig. 9, the surface cleaning apparatus 10 comprises a drive motor 301, the drive motor 301 being for driving the first filter 7. The driving motor 301 is an independent driving structure and is independent of the fan assembly 3, the driving motor 301 is in transmission connection with the first filter 7 through a transmission structure, the driving motor 301 can be controlled by the controller, and after the controller receives a control instruction, the first filter 7 can be controlled to rotate for a first preset time according to the control instruction.
Fan assembly drive
The first filter 7 is drivingly connected to a fan assembly 3 within the surface cleaning apparatus 10, the fan assembly 3 being arranged to rotate the first filter 7 whilst generating the suction airflow. The fan assembly 3 is in transmission connection with the first filter 7 through a transmission mechanism to drive the first filter 7 to rotate. Because the fan in the fan assembly 3 rotates at a relatively high speed, the fan and the first filter 7 can be in transmission connection through a speed reducing device.
In one control, the first filter 7 is configured to start rotating and continue rotating for a first preset period of time after the suction motor 21 is operated for a second preset period of time. Assuming that the total operation time of the suction motor 21 is 10S, that is, the suction motor 21 is operated for a certain period of time (3S) first to transfer most of the dirt in the dust collecting chamber 13 and the cyclone chamber 12 into the dust collecting chamber 22, then the first filter 7 is driven to rotate (5S) while the suction motor continues to operate, and the hair and dust attached to the first filter 7 are separated from the first filter 7 by the centrifugal force and the suction force and are sucked into the dust collecting chamber. The first filter 7 stops rotating. The suction motor 21 is configured to continue to operate for a third preset period of time (2S) after the first filter 7 stops rotating. Of course, in other embodiments, the first filter 7 and the suction motor 21 may stop rotating at the same time. By adopting the control method, the problem that the hair is wound on the first filter and cannot be transferred to the base station can be effectively solved.
In another control process, the suction motor 21 and the fan assembly 3 may start to operate simultaneously. After the surface cleaning device 10 is docked to the base station 20, the operation of emptying the dirt cup assembly may be automatically performed after a preset time, and during the emptying operation, the suction motor 21 and the fan assembly 3 may be controlled by the controller to operate simultaneously, the suction motor 21 and the fan assembly 3 may be controlled to stop simultaneously, or both may not stop simultaneously. In other embodiments, the controller may control the suction motor 21 and the fan assembly 3 to operate simultaneously, may control both to stop simultaneously, or may control both to stop simultaneously after the surface cleaning apparatus 10 is docked to the base station 20 and after receiving a control command from the user. By adopting the control method, the problem that the hair is wound on the first filter and cannot be transferred to the base station can be effectively solved.
