Referring to fig. 1-4, a dust collecting station (or simply referred to as a dust collecting station) for a vacuum cleaner, which collects dirt such as dust in the vacuum cleaner, includes a main body 100, a volume cover 210, and a driving mechanism 110, wherein the driving mechanism 110 may be a driving motor in this embodiment. And a cup placing section 300 provided on the main body 100 for placing a cup 400 of the cleaner. The main body 100 serves as a main structure of the dust collecting station. The main body 100 is provided with a cavity 200 therein, the cavity 200 may be used to contain dirt, and the cavity 200 may also be a chamber in fluid connection with a dust collecting chamber for storing dirt. The cavity 200 has an opening for communicating the inside and the outside of the cavity 200. The volume cover 210 is movably disposed at the opening of the cavity 200, and the movable volume cover 210 has at least two positions, namely an open position and a close position, for respectively opening or closing the opening, thereby opening or closing the cavity 200. In order to move the volume cover 210, a drive mechanism is provided for the volume cover 210. In this embodiment, the actuating mechanism 110 is disposed in the main body 100, and the actuating mechanism 110 is structurally connected to drive the volume cover 210 to move between the open position and the closed position. The dust cup placing area 300 is disposed on the main body 100 and is used for placing the dust cup 400 of the vacuum cleaner, in this embodiment, the dust cup placing area 300 is located above the cavity 200, but in different embodiments, the dust cup placing area 300 can be located in various positions.

The dirt cup 400 of the cleaner has a dirt cup lid 410 for closing the dirt cup 400, and the dirt cup lid 410 includes an open position for opening the dirt cup 400 and a closed position for closing the dirt cup 400. When the dirt cup cover 410 is in the open position, dirt inside the dirt cup 400 can be poured out; when the dirt cup cover 410 is in the closed position, the dirt cup 400 is closed and dirt inside the dirt cup 400 cannot be poured out. In order to realize the automation of dust collection of the dust collection station, when the volume cover 210 is in the opening position, the opening is opened to open the cavity 200, and meanwhile, the dust cup cover 410 can move from the closing position to the opening position to open the dust cup 400, so that the cavity 200 is communicated with the interior of the dust cup 400 through the opening, and dirt is poured into the cavity 200 from the interior of the dust cup 400, thereby completing the collection of the dirt such as dust in the dust collector by the dust collection station without respectively opening the dust cup cover 410, the volume cover 210 and the like. When the dust cup 400 needs to be reset after the dust is poured, and the dust cup cover 410 is in the open position, the volume cover 210 drives the dust cup cover 410 to move from the open position to the closed position in the process of moving the volume cover 210 from the open position to the closed position, and the dust cup cover 410 does not need to be driven to be closed independently.

The dirt cup lid 410 is normally locked in place in the vacuum cleaner to enclose the dirt cup 400 and prevent the escape of dirt. The dust cup cover 410 is opened only when the dirt needs to be poured out and the dust cup needs to be cleaned, and at the moment, the dust cup cover 410 needs to be unlocked firstly. In one embodiment, the dirt cup 400 further includes an unlock button to unlock the dirt cup lid 410, a button press to unlock the dirt cup lid 410, and a button trigger 310 disposed in the dirt cup receiving area 300.

In various embodiments, the dirt cup cover 410 can open naturally under the influence of gravity, or driven by other driving means, or follow the volume cover 210.

The provision of the push button trigger 310 is one means for achieving intelligence of the dust collection station. One mechanical end of the push button trigger 310 is connected to an unlock button on the dust cup 400, which translates the action of unlocking the dust cup cover 410 into activating the push button trigger 310 on the dust collection station, while the other end of the push button trigger 310 can be positioned in a more ergonomic position for human operation. Button trigger 310 can further be provided with electronic circuit and signal transmission end to control chip or outside cell-phone APP in the signal connection collection dirt station, and then realize automatic intelligent control with other functional component in collection dirt station or even dust catcher.

In one embodiment, the dirt cup lid 410 is positioned above the volume lid 210, wherein after the unlock button is unlocked, the dirt cup lid 410 moves from the closed position to the open position as the volume lid 210 moves from the closed position to the open position. In this embodiment, the dirt cup cover 410 moves with the volume cover 210, and if the volume cover 210 is in the closed position or stops moving, the dirt cup cover 410 does not move.

In one embodiment, the main body 100 is further provided with an activation button, which is in signal connection with the button trigger 310 and the driving mechanism 110. After the start button is triggered, the button trigger 310 and the driving mechanism 110 can receive related signals to control the start, stop and operation of the button trigger 310 and the driving mechanism 110.
