Detailed Description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

It is to be understood that, in the following embodiments, descriptions of various embodiments are focused, and for parts that are not described in detail in a certain embodiment, reference may be made to related descriptions of other embodiments. The structures shown in the various embodiments are compatible with each other, unless explicitly stated otherwise or otherwise contradicted or rendered impractical in principle and structure.

It is to be understood that, in the following embodiments, "first", "second", and the like are used only for distinguishing one from another, and do not indicate the degree and order of importance, the existence of each other, and the like.

It is to be understood that, in the following embodiments, "connected", and the like include not only direct interconnections but also indirect interconnections, unless otherwise specified.

Referring to fig. 1 to 19, embodiments of the present disclosure provide a dust collecting apparatus, which may be configured in various types of vacuum cleaners, mite removers, or cleaning robots according to application scenarios to provide functions of storing dust and sundries. In the process that dusty airflow sucked by various different dust collectors, acarus removers or cleaning robots enters and leaves the dust collecting device, the dust, sundries and the like contained in the dusty airflow are kept in the dust collecting device, and the dusty airflow is collected by the dust collecting device.

In order to accommodate the collected matter of the dust collecting device and the components required by the dust collecting device, the dust collecting device comprises a barrel body 110 with an accommodating space 111, and a release port 112 communicated with the accommodating space 111 is arranged on the barrel body 110 so as to clean the collected matter in the dust collecting device. The barrel 110 may be in various shapes such as a square, a rectangle, a circle, a polygon, and the like, in order to meet the requirements of different application scenarios or product structure designs, which is not limited in this embodiment.

Meanwhile, the barrel body 110 is further provided with a cover 120 at the position of the release port 112, and the cover 120 is connected with the barrel body 110 and can move between an open position and a closed position relative to the barrel body 110 to provide an opening and closing function for the release port 112, i.e. to enable the release port 112 to be opened or closed. When the cover 120 is in the open position, the release opening 112 is opened by the cover 120, and the collected matter can leave the accommodating space 111 from the release opening 112; when the cover 120 is in the closed position, the release opening 112 is closed by the cover 120, and the collected matter cannot exit the accommodating space 111 from the release opening 112.

Wherein, generally, the release port 112 is provided at the bottom of the tub 110 so as to allow the collected matter to exit from the accommodating space 111 when cleaning. In other words, when the user cleans the accommodating space 111, the dust collecting apparatus is normally adjusted to a state where the release port 112 is located at the bottom of the tub 110 so that the collected matter leaves the accommodating space 111 due to gravity. Meanwhile, the cover 120 is also located at the bottom of the tub 110 corresponding to the release port 112. Of course, in other embodiments, the release opening 112 may be disposed at other positions on the barrel 110 other than the bottom, so as to be suitable for other product structure designs or meet the requirements of specific use scenarios.

In order to facilitate the opening of the cover 120, the dust collecting apparatus is further provided with a release mechanism 130, and the release mechanism 130 is configured to move the cover 120 from the closed position to the open position, so as to open the cover 120 and the release opening 112, so that the collected objects can leave the accommodating space 111 and the accommodating space 111 can be cleaned.

In the conventional dust collecting apparatus, the opening direction of the cover 120 almost directly faces the user's operation side 113. When the cover 120 is opened to empty or release the collection, since the collection is mostly made of dust or debris, the collection leaving the release opening 112 is easily drifted toward the user's operation side 113, which not only affects the user's use, but also even pollutes the environment or the dust collecting apparatus.

Therefore, in the dust collecting apparatus provided in the present embodiment, the cover 120 has a fixed end 122 and a switch end 121, the fixed end 122 is close to the operating side 113 of the tub 110 and is pivotably connected to the tub 110, and the switch end 121 is remote from the operating side 113 with respect to the fixed end 122 and is releasably connectable to the tub 110. During the process of the releasing mechanism 130 moving the cover 120 from the closed position to the open position, the cover 120 is moved from the switch end 121 far away from the operation side 113 to the operation side 113, so as to block the released collection from drifting toward the operation side 113, and the releasing port 112 is more easily aligned with a target (such as a trash can or a garbage bin) receiving the released collection, so as to release the collection more precisely. It can be seen that the cover 120 and the barrel 110 are movably connected at a position close to the operation side 113, so that the collected objects are prevented from drifting to the operation side 113 when leaving the accommodating space 111, and the influence on the user of the operation side 113 and the dust collecting device can be avoided.

The operation side 113 refers to a side of the dust collecting device, which is a side where a user uses the dust collecting device, especially when cleaning the dust collecting device, that is, a side of the dust collecting device close to the user when the user operates the dust collecting device. For example, the operating side 113 includes a side of the barrel wall and/or the area of the body assembly 210 that is offset from the barrel of the handle 230. Generally, various user operation components of the dust collecting device are disposed at the operation side 113 or a position close to the operation side 113, so that a user at the operation side 113 can perform related operations. The user operating parts include various kinds of operating buttons, a handle 230 (see fig. 18), etc., and related parts of the dust collecting apparatus, such as a battery pack 220 (see fig. 18), a body pack 210, etc., are also generally located at the operating side 113. Thus, the prior art has problems in that: the collection drifting toward the user side is liable to affect various types of user operation parts and related parts located on the operation side 113, for example, causing contamination, not only reducing the cleanliness but also possibly affecting the normal use of various types of user operation parts and related parts due to accumulation of dust and the like. Through the arrangement of the embodiment, the possibility of similar situations can be reduced, and the effective use of the dust collecting device and the operation experience of a user can be further ensured.

The release mechanism 130 has an operating portion 131, and the operating portion 131 may be located at an operating side of the tub 110. The operation portion 131 is an operation structure for a user to operate to start the release mechanism 130, and may be, for example, a voice information receiving portion, an image information receiving portion, a fingerprint information receiving portion, or various operation portions such as a mechanical switch key, and specifically may be a sound receiving portion of a microphone, an image collecting portion of a camera, a pressing operation portion of a mechanical switch, and the like. The user can activate the release mechanism 130 by applying a predetermined signal to the operation portion 131, for example, by sending a corresponding operation instruction through voice, gesture, pressing, and the like, so as to move the cover 120 from the closed position to the open position. It is understood that the operating portion 131 of the release mechanism 130 may not be disposed on the barrel 110, for example, the release mechanism 130 may have a wireless/wired communication structure, and a user may apply a predetermined signal to a mobile terminal and send a corresponding operation instruction to the release mechanism 130 through the wireless/wired communication structure, so as to start the operation of the release mechanism 130.

In some embodiments, the lid 120 is hinged to the base 110 by a motorized hinge that maintains the lid 120 in the open position. The operation portion 131 of the release mechanism 130 may be a voice signal receiving portion, such as a sound receiving portion of a microphone, the voice signal receiving portion is disposed on the operation side 113 of the barrel 110, and the release mechanism 130 starts to operate after the voice signal receiving portion receives a voice signal sent by a user. The release mechanism 130 sends an opening signal to the electric hinge connected with the signal to move the cover 120 from the closed position to the open position; in addition, after a predetermined operation is applied to the operation portion 131, the release mechanism 130 may also send a closing signal to the electric hinge connected with the signal, so that the cover 120 moves from the open position to the closed position.

In order to ensure that the release opening 112 is closed, so that the collected objects can not leave the accommodating space 111 through the release opening 112 under the condition of no necessity, the dust collecting device can comprise a locking structure 140, and the locking structure 140 is used for keeping the cover body 120 at the closed position so as to keep the release opening 112 closed. The locking structure 140 can be implemented in various ways, such as a snap structure, a magnetic attraction structure, etc., and this embodiment does not limit the present invention.

In some embodiments, the locking structure 140 is used to realize the openable connection between the open-close end 121 of the cover 120 and the barrel 110, i.e., the locking structure 140 is used to fix the open-close end 121 of the cover 120 and the barrel 110 in a closed position, in particular, to keep the cover 120 in the closed position for closing the release opening 112. When the locking structure 140 is in the engaged state, the open-close end of the cover 120 is fixed to the barrel 110, and the cover 120 is located at the closed position; when the locking structure 140 is in a disconnected state, the switch end 121 of the cover 120 is released from the barrel 110, and the cover 120 can move to the open position.

After a user performs a predetermined operation through the operation portion 131, the release mechanism 130 can change the locking structure 140 from the engaged state to the disengaged state, so that the cover 120 can move from the closed position to the open position.

In some embodiments, the release mechanism 130 is in signal connection with the locking structure 140, and after a user applies a predetermined operation to the operation portion 131, the release mechanism 130 sends a signal to disengage the locking structure 140, and the locking structure 140 starts to perform a disengaging action to enable the cover 120 to move from the closed position to the open position. For example, the locking structure 140 is an electromagnetic absorption structure, the electromagnetic absorption structure includes a first electromagnetic absorption portion located at the switch end 121 of the cover 120 and a second electromagnetic absorption portion located at a corresponding position of the barrel 110, at least one of the first electromagnetic absorption portion and the second electromagnetic absorption portion is an electromagnetic structure, and the other one can be a magnet, a metal or an electromagnetic structure, and the electromagnetic structure can be energized to generate a magnetic field so that the two are absorbed to realize the matching connection of the locking structure 140, and the cover 120 is maintained at the closed position. When the release mechanism 130 sends a signal to the locking structure 140 to disengage, the electromagnetic structures in the first electromagnetic absorption portion and the second electromagnetic absorption portion are powered off, so that the first electromagnetic absorption portion and the second electromagnetic absorption portion are disengaged from each other, that is, the cover 120 can leave the closed position to move to the open position. For another example, the locking structure 140 includes a claw driven by a motor or other driving device and a clamping portion, the claw and the clamping portion are engaged to keep the cover 120 at the closed position, and when the release mechanism 130 sends a signal to the locking structure 140 to release the engagement, the motor or other driving device drives the claw to move to release the engagement with the clamping portion, that is, the cover 120 can leave the closed position to move to the open position.

In other embodiments, the release mechanism 130 includes a first moving portion and a second moving portion, which are linked, wherein the first moving portion is located at the operation side 113, the second moving portion is located at the cover 120, and the moving directions of the first moving portion and the second moving portion are different.

Illustratively, the release mechanism 130 includes a driving member 132, a transmission member 133 and an unlocking member 150, wherein the driving member 132 is connected to the transmission member 133 and the driving member 132 can drive the transmission member 133 to move, and the transmission member 133 has or serves as the first moving part; the unlocking member 150 is matched with the transmission member 133, and the transmission member 133 has or serves as the second moving part; when the driving member 132 moves, the unlocking member 150 can be driven to open the locking structure 140, i.e. the cover 120 can leave the closed position to move to the open position.

The structural details of the respective components of the dust collecting device will be described below by way of example with reference to fig. 4 to 18.

Referring to fig. 10, a side of the cover 120 close to the operation side 113 is the fixed end 122, a side of the cover 120 away from the operation side 113 is the switch end 121, the locking structure 140 is disposed at an end portion of the switch end 121 of the cover 120 and an end portion of the barrel 110 corresponding to the switch end 121, and the switch end 121 is not on any side of the fixed end 122, that is, the switch end 121 is on a side away from the operation side 113 relative to the fixed end 122. Wherein, when the locking structure 140 is in the state of mating connection, the cover 120 is located at the closed position; when the locking structure 140 is in a state of being disengaged from the connection, the cover 120 can move to the open position.

The unlocking piece 150 comprises a power portion 151 close to the fixed end 122 and a resistance portion 152 close to the switch end 121, specifically, the unlocking piece 150 can be close to the end portion of the fixed end 122 is provided with the power portion 151, the end portion of the switch end 121 is provided with the resistance portion 152, the power portion 151 can be directly or indirectly driven by the driving piece 132, and the resistance portion 152 can be driven by the power portion 151 to move synchronously, so that the locking structure 140 is disengaged from the connection.

In some examples, referring to fig. 10, the switch end 121 and the fixed end 122 are opposite ends of the cover 120, and a direction from the fixed end 122 to the switch end 121 is a first direction, which is an X direction in fig. 1 and 10, and for example, please mainly refer to fig. 1 and 10, the switch end 121 and the fixed end 122 are opposite ends along the X direction; the unlocking member 150 can be indirectly driven by the driving member 132 through the connected transmission member 133 and move along the first direction, so as to apply a force to the locking structure 140 and separate the cover body 120 and the barrel body 110 from each other through the locking structure 140, i.e., the locking structure 140 is opened to change into a state of being disengaged from the engagement connection, so that the cover body 120 can move from the closed position to the open position.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 4 to 6 and 10 to 17, the dust collecting apparatus includes a locking member 141, the locking member 141 is rotatably connected to an end of the barrel 110 corresponding to a suction side 114 of the switch end 121 through a rotation fulcrum 1411, wherein the suction side 114 is an opposite side of the operating side 113, and specifically, in fig. 10, the suction side 114 and the operating side 113 are oppositely arranged along the X direction. An air inlet pipe may be generally connected to the suction side 114 to suck foreign materials such as dust and debris into the receiving space 111. Referring to fig. 13 to 17, the switch end 121 of the cover body is provided with an abutting end 1251 corresponding to the free end 1412 of the locking member 141, and the free end 1412 of the locking member 141 and the abutting end 1251 form the locking structure 140, wherein the free end 1412 of the locking member 141 may be hook-shaped so as to abut against the abutting end 1251 and keep the cover body 120 at the closed position.

The unlocking member 150 is disposed on the cover body 120, and when the free end 1412 of the locking structure abuts against the abutting section 1251, that is, when the locking structure 140 is in a matching connection state, the resistance part 152 is located on a side of the free end 1412 of the locking member 141 facing the fixed end 122. The transmission member 133 applies a force to the power portion 151 to move the unlocking member 150 in the first direction, so as to drive the resistance portion 152 to move in the first direction and move the free end 1412 of the locking member 141 in the first direction, that is, the locking member 141 rotates about the rotation fulcrum portion 1411, and the free end 1412 of the locking member 141 leaves a position abutting against the abutting end 1251, so that the locking structure 140 is changed to a state of releasing the mutual matching connection, and at this time, the cover body 120 can move from the closed position to the open position.

The other end of the locking member 141 may further be provided with a retaining member 142, and the retaining member 142 is connected to the barrel 110, and the retaining member 142 provides a force to the free end 1412 of the locking member 141 to abut against the abutting end 1251 through the other end of the locking member 141, so that the locking structures 140 can be stably engaged with each other. When the resistance part 152 moves towards the first direction and the free end 1412 of the locking member 141 moves towards the first direction, the acting force of the holding member 142 needs to be overcome; when the resistance part 152 does not apply force to the free end 1412 of the locking member 141 any more, the holding member 142 can reset the free end 1412. The holding member 142 may be a repulsive magnet, a spring, etc., and the embodiment is not limited thereto.

To facilitate a more detailed description of the cooperation between the unlocking member 150 and the locking structure 140, please refer to fig. 13 to 17, the cover 120 has an unlocking cavity 123 disposed annularly, a first abutting section 124 disposed at the switch end 121, and a second abutting section 125 protruding outward, a lower end of the second abutting section 125 forms the abutting end 1251, wherein the first abutting section 124 may be perpendicular to the second abutting section 125.

The unlocking cavity 123 may be formed by the cover 120 and a fixing cover 155, the fixing cover 155 is connected to the outer side of the cover 120, and the unlocking cavity 123 is formed between the cover 120 and the fixing cover 155. The assembly of the unlocking member 150 can be facilitated by the arrangement of the fixing cover 155.

With reference to fig. 10, 18 and 19, the unlocking member 150 is an annular structure, and is disposed in the unlocking cavity 123, and the end portion close to the switch end 121 protrudes outward to form the resistance portion 152, the unlocking member 150 is disposed on the inner side of the resistance portion 152, a reset cavity 153 is disposed in the reset cavity 153 along the first direction, and the reset cavity 153 is disposed with a first reset member 154, where the first reset member 154 includes a first sub-portion relatively fixed to the unlocking member 150 and the first abutting section 124 extending into the reset cavity 153. The first restoring element 154 may be a magnetic element, for example, the first sub-portion includes two magnets attracting each other; the first restoring member 154 may also be a first elastic restoring member, which may be a spring, and in this case, the first sub-portion is two ends of the spring; the first reset piece 154 may have other structures, and only needs to achieve the effect of resetting the unlocking piece 150, which is not limited in this embodiment.

In order to more specifically describe the engagement between the unlocking member 150 and the transmission member 133, referring to fig. 4 to 6, 10, and 13 to 19, the unlocking member 150 has a ring-shaped structure, and the end portion near the fixed end 122 protrudes outward to form the power portion 151, an inclined engagement surface 156 is formed between the power portion 151 and the transmission member 133, and the power portion 151 and the transmission member 133 can be engaged with each other through the engagement surface 156 to move the unlocking member 150 in the first direction, so that the transmission member 133 forms the first movement portion, and the unlocking member 150 forms the second movement portion.

For example, when the release opening 112 faces the lower side (even if the release opening 112 and the cover 120 are located at the bottom of the barrel 110) for corresponding operation, the driving direction of the release mechanism 130 is a second direction, which is a direction from the accommodating space 111 to the release opening 112, specifically, when the release opening 112 faces the lower side, i.e., a downward direction, i.e., a direction of a force F in fig. 1 to 5, for example, please refer to fig. 1 and 10 mainly, and a downward direction along the Y axis in the drawings is the second direction. When the driving member 132 drives the transmission member 133 (i.e., the first moving portion) to move in the second direction, the engaging surface 156 gradually inclines away from the first direction, so that the power portion 151 drives the unlocking member 150 (i.e., the second moving portion) to move in the first direction, and the locking structure 140 is disengaged, and the cover 120 can rotate to the open position by gravity. It is understood that in other embodiments, the release opening 112 may not be located at the downward position, and the release mechanism 130 may further include a structure for driving the cover 120 to open or otherwise open the cover 120 by other operations in case the locking structures 140 are disengaged from each other.

The engaging surface 156 is an engaging inclined surface between the power portion 151 and the driving member 132, and the power portion 151 and the driving member 133 cooperate with each other through the engaging inclined surface to drive the unlocking member 150 to move in the first direction. When the power part 151 and the transmission member 133 have the engaging slopes, the transmission member 133 drives the unlocking member 150 to move more stably and flexibly in the first direction.

It is understood that, in other embodiments, when the mutual connection of the locking structures 140 cannot be released by the movement of the locking member 141 along the first direction, but needs to be released by the movement of the locking member 141 along the direction opposite to the first direction, the engaging surfaces inclined oppositely to the previous embodiments are respectively formed between the power part 151 and the transmission member 133, and the transmission member 133 and the power part 151 can be engaged with each other through the engaging surface 156 to move the unlocking member 150 along the direction opposite to the first direction. For example, the locking structure 140 may include a first connector disposed at an end of the unlocking member 150 adjacent to the switch end 121 and a second connector disposed at an end of the switch end 121 of the barrel body 110, the first connector and the second connector being capable of cooperating with each other to connect the locking structure 140 and maintain the cover body 120 in the closed position. When the transmission member 133 moves in the second direction, the unlocking member 150 can move in the direction opposite to the first direction through the inclined engaging surface 156, so that the first connecting member and the second connecting member can move away from each other, i.e., the engaging connection of the locking structure 140 is released, and the cover 120 can move toward the open position. The first connecting piece and the second connecting piece can be magnetic adsorption pieces such as magnets.

In addition, in some embodiments, the operation part 131 is a first operation part, and in addition, the dust collecting apparatus further includes a second operation part, and the first operation part and the second operation part are both provided for external force and respectively located at two sides of the tub 110. At this time, the engagement between the free end 1412 of the locking member 141 and the abutting end 1251 is released by the driving member 132 and the transmission member 133, and the cover body 120 can be opened by directly operating the second operating portion. For example, the lock member 141 may have or be the second operation portion, and the opening of the cover body 120 may be realized by operating the second operation portion to rotate the free end 1412 of the lock member 141 about the rotation fulcrum portion 1411 to move away from the position abutting against the abutting end 1251. Through the arrangement, the cover 120 has two opening modes of being driven and opened by the driving element 132 and the transmission element 133 and being driven and opened by the locking element 141, so that a user can conveniently select according to requirements of actual use scenes, and the mode of being driven and opened by the locking element 141 can be used as a redundant backup mode of the driving and opening modes of the driving element 132 and the transmission element 133, so as to avoid the situation that the cover 120 cannot be opened when the driving element 132 and/or the transmission element 133 fails.

It is understood that in other embodiments, the unlocking member 150 is not limited to be disposed on the cover 120, but may be disposed on other components, such as the barrel 110, and when the locking structures 140 are connected to each other, the unlocking member 150 can actuate the driving member 132 and disengage the locking structures 140.

In some embodiments, the driving member 132 may be a driving mechanism, such as a motor, an air cylinder, etc., and the driving member 132 may be operated by a user operating the operating portion 131 of the releasing mechanism 130, so that the cover 120 can move from the closed position to the open position through the transmission member 133.

The release mechanism 130 is exemplarily an air cylinder, and the air cylinder is activated by the operation of the operation portion 131 of the release mechanism 130 by the user to drive the transmission member 133 to move in the second direction, and the transmission member 133 drives the unlocking member 150 to move in the first direction, so as to release the engagement connection of the locking structure 140, and the cover 120 can move from the closed position to the open position.

In other embodiments, the driving member 132 may also be a manual driving structure, the driving member 132 has the operating portion 131 for being operated by a user, the user can move the driving member 132 by moving the operating portion 131, and the cover 120 can move from the closed position to the open position by the transmission member 133.

For example, the driving member 132 is a push rod, the push rod can be disposed in the barrel 110, and the push rod has an operating handle exposed on the operating side 113 as the operating portion 131, the driving member 132 can be driven to move in the second direction by pulling the operating portion 131, and the unlocking member 150 is driven to move in the first direction by the transmission member 133, so as to release the matching connection of the locking structure 140, and the cover 120 can move from the closed position to the open position.

In some embodiments, the release mechanism 130 is disposed on the operating side 113 of the barrel 110 to prevent the collected matter from contaminating the release mechanism 130 and affecting the release mechanism 130 when the collected matter leaves the receiving space 111. For example, when the release mechanism 130 includes a driving member 132 and a transmission member 133, the driving member 132 and the transmission member 133 are disposed on the operation side 113 of the barrel 110. In addition, this arrangement also allows the release mechanism 130 or the operation portion 131 of the release mechanism 130 to be conveniently located on the operation side 113 of another component after the dust collecting apparatus is assembled to another component. Therefore, even when the dust collecting device is mounted on another component for use, the problem that the collected matter escapes to the operation side 113 when leaving the accommodating space 111 and pollutes users and components can be solved.

In addition, after the dust collecting device is used, the collected objects are easily adhered to the inside of the dust collecting device, for example, to the inner wall of the tub 110, due to the characteristics of the collected objects or the environmental temperature and humidity.

And, a filter assembly 160 may be disposed in the accommodating space 111 of the dust collecting device, when the dust collecting device is applied, a dust-containing air flow enters the dust collecting device through the air inlet 115 of the dust collecting device, passes through the filter assembly 160 and then exits the dust collecting device through the air outlet of the dust collecting device, and the dust-containing air flow is filtered by the filter assembly 160 to filter out dust and impurities.

Wherein the filter assembly 160 generally comprises an outermost mesh filter having mesh openings arranged thereon for filtering out larger particles of dust and debris. Downstream of the mesh filter, a filter structure such as filter cotton and/or a cyclone cone may be provided to further filter the dusty gas stream, and the collected matter may also be easily adhered to the filter assembly 160, particularly the mesh filter. It is to be understood that in other embodiments, the particular structural arrangement of the filter assembly 160 is not limited to the above description.

The sticking of the collection within the receiving space 111 may lead to a risk of clogging of the filter assembly 160 and a loss of overall suction, leading to a reduction in the time of use of the filter assembly 160, and may lead to a reduction in the effective storage capacity of the dust collecting device, and also to a susceptibility to the growth of germs.

Therefore, in some embodiments, in order to facilitate the user to clean the accommodating space 111 and avoid contamination of the operating position (e.g., hand, etc.) of the user during cleaning, a cleaning assembly 170 may be further disposed in the accommodating space 111, and the cleaning assembly 170 may be used to clean the accommodating space 111, such as cleaning the inner wall of the tub 110 and/or the filter assembly 160 disposed in the accommodating space 111.

The cleaning assembly 170 may be a contact type ash removing mechanism, such as a scraping member, a scraping strip, or the like, or a non-contact type ash removing mechanism, such as a manner of supplying a pressure medium to remove ash. The dust collecting device can be cleaned by controlling the ash removing mechanism to move along the second direction or along the circumferential direction or other directions of the accommodating space 111. The specific structure of the cleaning assembly 170 is not limited in this embodiment, and only needs to be able to clean the dust collecting device.

In some embodiments, the cleaning assembly 170 includes an ash scraping member, such as a scraper, which may be provided in one or more than one, and a first cleaning portion is provided on a side of the scraper close to the inner wall of the tub 110 for cleaning the inner wall of the tub 110; the side of the blade adjacent to the cleaning assembly 170 is provided with a second cleaning portion for cleaning the cleaning assembly 170, and in particular, may be used to clean a mesh cleaner of the cleaning assembly 170. The first cleaning portion and the second cleaning portion may be made of the same material and/or shape or different materials and/or shapes, which is not limited in this embodiment. It is understood that in other embodiments, the cleaning assembly 170 may take on other configurations.

In order to facilitate the cleaning process of the accommodating space 111, the release mechanism 130 of the dust collecting apparatus is further a linkage release mechanism 130, and the linkage release mechanism 130 is configured to control the cleaning assembly 170 and the cover 120 in linkage, so as to move the cover 120 from the closed position to the open position, and to allow the cleaning assembly 170 to clean the collected matter in the accommodating space 111.

The operation portion 131 of the linkage release mechanism 130, that is, the operation portion 131 of the release mechanism 130, is disposed on the operation side 113 of the tub 110. Therefore, when the operating portion 131 is operated to operate the linkage release mechanism 130, since the fixed end 122 of the cover 120 is close to the operating side 113 of the barrel 110, when the cover 120 is in the open position, the collected objects leaving the accommodating space 111 are not easy to drift to the operating side 113, and the user and the operating position of the user on the operating side 113 are not easy to be polluted, so that the user experience in cleaning the dust collecting device can be improved; and the operation part 131 is also not easily affected by the collected matter leaving the accommodating space 111, which helps to ensure the cleanliness and effective use of the operation part 131.

The linkage release mechanism 130 can be implemented in various forms to perform the linkage operation of moving the cover 120 from the closed position to the open position and cleaning the collected objects in the accommodating space 111 by the cleaning assembly 170, i.e. to control the cover 120 to open and the cleaning assembly 170 to perform the cleaning operation.

In some embodiments, the linkage release mechanism 130 includes a drive 132, a drive 133, and an unlocking member 150; wherein, the driving member 132 is connected to the transmission member 133 and can drive the transmission member 133 to move; the transmission member 133 cooperates with the unlocking member 150 to move the unlocking member 150 to open the locking structure 140, and the transmission member 133 cooperates with the cleaning assembly 170 to enable the cleaning assembly 170 to clean the accommodating space 111.

In some examples, the cleaning assembly 170 can be controlled by the linked release mechanism 130 and rotated within the receiving space 111 to perform a cleaning action to clean the filter assembly and/or the inner wall of the tub 110.

Illustratively, the transmission member 133 is threadably engaged with the cleaning assembly 170 and is coupled to the cover 120. When the transmission member 133 is driven by the driving member 132 to move, the driving member 132 and the transmission member 133 are engaged with each other through threads, so that the cleaning assembly 170 can be synchronously driven to rotate. Specifically, one end of the transmission element 133 may be connected to one end of the switch end 121 of the cover 120, and the matching portion of the transmission element 133 and the cleaning assembly 170 has a gear structure, so that when the transmission element 133 is driven by the driving element 132 to move in the second direction, the cover 120 can be opened and the cleaning assembly 170 can rotate in the accommodating space 111 to perform a cleaning action.

Illustratively, the transmission member 133 and the cleaning assembly 170 are engaged with each other through threads, and the transmission member 133 is also driven by the driving member 132 to move in the second direction, but unlike the previous example, the transmission member 133 is not connected to the cover 120 in this example. In this example, the dust collecting device includes the unlocking member 150 and the locking structure 140, and the transmission member 133 can cooperate with the unlocking member 150 to move the unlocking member 150 during the movement in the second direction, and the locking structure 140 is released by the force applied to the locking structure 140 by the unlocking member 150, so that the cover 120 can move from the closed position to the open position.

In some examples, the cleaning assembly 170 is controllable by the linked release mechanism 130 and moves in the second direction to perform a cleaning action. The position of the cleaning assembly 170 before moving in the second direction is an initial position, and the position after moving in the second direction is an end position, the initial position being farther from the release opening 112 than the end position. When the driving member 132 drives the transmission member 133 to move, the cleaning assembly 170 can be driven to move from the initial position to the final position along the second direction, and the cover 120 can be driven to move from the closed position to the open position.

Illustratively, the transmission member 133 is connected to the cover 120 and the cleaning assembly 170, and when the transmission member 133 is driven by the driving member 132 to move, the transmission member can synchronously drive the cover 120 and the cleaning assembly 170 to move. Specifically, one end of the transmission member 133 may be connected to one end of the cover 120 at the switch end 121, and the other end of the transmission member 133 may be connected to the cleaning assembly 170, so that when the transmission member 133 is driven by the driving member 132 to move in the second direction, the cover 120 can be opened and the cleaning assembly 170 can move in the second direction. More specifically, when the linkage release mechanism 130 is operated, the dust collecting device has at least three states, namely, a first state, a second state and a third state.

Wherein in a first, initial state, the cover 120 is in the closed position retained at the release port 112 and the cleaning assembly 170 is in the initial position distal to the release port 112.

In a second state, i.e. an intermediate state, the transmission member 133 is driven by the driving member 132 to move in the second direction, so as to drive the cleaning assembly 170 to move in the second direction and perform a cleaning operation, and drive the end of the switch end 121 of the cover 120 to move downward to start releasing the engagement connection with the locking structure 140. The locking structure 140 may be a magnetic structure.

In the third state, i.e. the cleaning completion state, the transmission member 133 is driven by the driving member 132 to move to the second direction, and drives the cleaning assembly 170 to the end position, so that the cleaning operation is completed; and the driving member 133 drives the cover 120 to the open position, the locking structure 140 is completely disengaged, the release opening 112 is opened by the cover 120, and the collected object can leave the accommodating space 111 through the release opening 112.

Illustratively, the transmission member 133 is connected to the cleaning assembly 170, and the transmission member 133 is driven by the driving member 132 to move in the second direction, but unlike the previous example, the transmission member 133 is not connected to the cover 120 in this example. In this example, the dust collecting device includes the unlocking member 150 and the locking structure 140, and the transmission member 133 can cooperate with the unlocking member 150 to move the unlocking member 150 during the movement in the second direction, and the unlocking member 150 applies a force to the locking structure 140 to release the locking structure 140, so that the cover 120 can be opened.

The fixed end 122 is located on a side of the cover 120 close to the operation side 113, the locking structure 140 is disposed on an end portion of the switch end 121 of the cover 120 and an end portion of the barrel 110 corresponding to the switch end 121, and the switch end 121 is not located on any side of the fixed end 122, that is, the switch end 121 is located far away from the operation side 113 relative to the fixed end 122. Wherein, when the locking structure 140 is in the state of mating connection, the cover 120 is located at the closed position; when the locking structure 140 is released from the engagement connection state, the cover 120 can move to the open position.

In further examples, as shown in fig. 1 to 17, the fixed end 122 and the switch end 121 are opposite ends of the cover 120, and a direction from the fixed end 122 to the switch end 121 is a first direction; the unlocking member 150 can be driven by the release mechanism 130 and move along the first direction to apply force to the locking structure 140 and release the locking structure from the mating connection. At this point, when the linkage release mechanism 130 is operated, the dust collection device also has at least three states, a first state, a second state, and a third state.

Referring to fig. 1, 4, 7, 10, 13 and 14, in a first state, i.e., an initial state, the cover 120 is in the closed position maintained at the release opening 112, and the cleaning assembly 170 is in the initial position farther from the release opening 112.

As shown in fig. 2, 5, 8, 11, 15 and 16, in a second state, i.e. an intermediate state, the transmission member 133 is driven by the driving member 132 to move in the second direction, so as to drive the cleaning assembly 170 to move in the second direction for cleaning operation, and drive the unlocking member 150 to move in the first direction, so as to gradually start to release the locking structure 140 from the engagement connection.

As shown in fig. 3, 6, 9, 12 and 17, in the third state, that is, the cleaning completion state, the transmission member 133 is driven by the driving member 132 to move to the position in the second direction, and drives the cleaning assembly 170 to the end position, so that the cleaning operation is completed; and the driving member 133 drives the unlocking member 150 to a position where the locking structure 140 is completely disengaged from the locking structure, the cover 120 can be opened, so that the collected objects can leave the accommodating space 111 through the release opening 112. If the release opening 112 and the cover 120 are disposed downward, i.e., at the bottom of the barrel 110, the cover 120 can rotate to the open position by gravity, so that the release opening 112 is opened. It is understood that in other embodiments, the release opening 112 may not be located at the downward position, and the release mechanism 130 may further include a structure for driving the cover 120 to open or otherwise open the cover 120 by other operations in case the locking structures 140 are disengaged from each other.

It is understood that the unlocking member 150 is not limited to be disposed on the cover 120, but may be disposed on other components, such as the barrel 110, and when the locking structures 140 are connected to each other, the unlocking member 150 can actuate the linkage release mechanism 130 and disengage the locking structures 140.

It is understood that the transmission member 133 may be a single member or a plurality of members, for example, a plurality of members may be provided to cooperate with each other to achieve the transmission effect, and for example, the transmission member 133 may be provided for the cover 120 and the cleaning assembly 170 respectively, it is only necessary that the linkage release mechanism 130 can achieve linkage control, so that the cover 120 can move from the closed position to the open position, and the cleaning assembly 170 can clean the accommodating space 111.

In some embodiments, on the basis of the embodiment that the transmission member 133 moves in the second direction, in order to stabilize the movement process when the transmission member 133 drives the cleaning assembly 170 to move, the cleaning assembly 170 is prevented from deflecting to one side when the cleaning assembly 170 is driven to move, so as to cause damages such as scraping. The transmission member 133 includes a connection section and a base section 1332 disposed opposite to the connection section, the connection section is used for connecting with the cleaning assembly 170, and an elastic member disposed along the second direction is connected between the base section 1332 and the connection section.

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 7 and 18, the connecting sections include symmetrically arranged connecting sections 1331, the connecting sections 1331 are connected to the cleaning assembly 170, tension springs are arranged between the connecting sections 1331 and the base section 1332 to serve as the elastic members, and the driving member 132 is connected to the base section 1332.

In some embodiments, to protect the linkage release mechanism 130, the linkage release mechanism 130 is prevented from being exposed to the outside and thus being easily influenced by the outside. The dust collecting apparatus may have a receiving chamber having a first guide opening communicating to the outside of the operation side 113 of the tub 110 and a second guide opening communicating to the receiving space 111.
