Fig. 1 is a schematic view showing the overall structure of a vacuum cleaner according to a first embodiment of the present utility model. The vacuum cleaner comprises a horizontal machine 1 and a hand-held machine 2. The horizontal machine 1 comprises a base 10 and a first dust cup device 12 detachably fixed on the base 10, wherein the base 10 comprises a dust collection opening 11 and an exhaust opening 13.

In a preferred embodiment, the horizontal machine 1 is provided with wheels (not shown) which allow for a more convenient movement of the horizontal machine 1.

Referring to fig. 2, the handset 2 can be detachably fixed to the base, the handset 2 includes a second dust cup device 22 and a suction device 23, and the handset 2 is adapted to be held by hand.

Specifically, in the present embodiment, the first dirt cup device 12 and the second dirt cup device 22 may include a housing and a filter disposed within the housing, such as a HEPA separator and/or a cyclone, wherein the cyclone may be a primary cyclone or a multi-stage cyclone. The suction device 23 is not limited in construction and may include, for example, a motor, a fan, etc., and when the motor drives the fan to rotate, negative pressure is generated so that dust gas is sucked into the inside of the cleaner through the dust suction port.

The cleaner has a first mode of use and a second mode of use. In the first use mode, the cradle 1 and the hand-held machine 2 are combined, and the dust gas flows through the dust suction opening 11, the first dust cup device 12, the second dust cup device 22, the suction device 23 and the air outlet 13 in sequence by using the suction device 23 of the hand-held machine 2 as a suction source, and is discharged outside the dust collector.

Referring to fig. 3, dust flows through the first dust cup device 12 and the second dust cup device 22 in sequence, and dust in the dust flows through the first dust cup device 12 and is filtered and stored, and at least part of the non-stored dust is stored in the second dust cup device 22.

Wherein in a preferred embodiment the dust storage capacity of the first dust cup means 12 is larger than the dust storage capacity of the second dust cup means 22, i.e. the dust storage capacity of the horizontal machine 1 is larger than the dust storage capacity of the handset 2. By means of the design, when the pet is faced with a situation of using more dust, such as cleaning a pet which is easy to fall down or a feeding space thereof, the first dust cup device 12 can be used for filtering and collecting larger-particle dust by means of the larger dust storage capacity of the first dust cup device 12, the second dust cup device 22 is used for filtering and collecting smaller-particle dust, the defects of low cleaning efficiency and poor user experience caused by frequent dust pouring are overcome, and the cleaning effect is good.

In the second mode of use, the handset 2 is used alone, apart from the holster 1, with the suction device 23 as a source of suction and dust in the dust gas collected in the second dust cup device 22. Thus, the use portability of the handset 2 is considered, and the cleaning convenience of different areas is ensured.

In this embodiment, the handset 2 also preferably includes a rechargeable battery 24, the rechargeable battery 24 being used to power the suction device 23. However, the utility model is not limited thereto, and in alternative embodiments, the handset 2 can be replaced with a wired handheld cleaner, as well as a separate stand-alone function, although the use of the handset 2 is still limited by the power cord, the handset 2 has a lower manufacturing cost due to the omission of the rechargeable battery 24.

Further, the cradle 1 further includes a charging structure 16, and the charging structure 16 is capable of performing a charging operation on the rechargeable battery 24 when the handset 2 having the rechargeable battery 24 is mounted to the cradle 1. Therefore, the handset 2 can be automatically charged only by connecting the horizontal machine 1 with a power supply, and the convenience of operation is greatly improved.

It should be noted that the charging structure 16 may be independently disposed and detachably mounted on the horizontal machine 1. The specific structure of the charging structure 16 may be a wired charging structure electrically connected to the charging motor or a wireless charging structure having a higher manufacturing cost, that is, a structure that is sufficient for charging the rechargeable battery 24 is not limited thereto.

In this embodiment, the base 10 of the horizontal machine 1 also preferably includes an exhaust passage 15, and the exhaust passage 15 is in butt communication with the suction device 23 and the exhaust port 13.

In a preferred embodiment, the exhaust passage 15 is provided with a sound deadening material (such as sound absorbing cotton); alternatively, the inner wall of the exhaust passage is provided with a plurality of sound deadening holes (not shown).

In a more preferred embodiment, the exhaust passage 15 is provided with a sound-deadening material (such as sound-absorbing cotton) inside, and a plurality of sound-deadening holes are provided on the inner wall thereof to ensure the noise-deadening effect in the exhaust.

In this way, when the dust flow discharged from the suction device 23 passes through the exhaust passage, the noise of the exhaust gas can be reduced by the silencing material and/or the plurality of silencing holes.

According to the application scene of the dust collector and/or the different operation power of the suction device, a plurality of silencing holes for eliminating noise in different frequency bands can be designed; it is also possible to design a plurality of sound deadening holes for a single frequency band for the exhaust noise peak, or a combination of the two.

Specifically, in this embodiment, the exhaust passage is preferably formed in the base in an integrally formed manner, so as to achieve both sealability and processing efficiency.

Therefore, the vacuum cleaner in the first use mode overcomes the defects of short air channel and high noise of the existing handheld machine, and by means of the convenience of larger space in the horizontal machine 1, a longer exhaust channel and a silencing structure can be further arranged, so that the noise generated during the operation of the vacuum cleaner is reduced. The technical scheme is particularly suitable for cleaning the space where the pet is raised, or cleaning the pet, so that the noise is prevented from disturbing the pet, and the use experience of the user is improved.

In some embodiments, the base 10 further includes a dust gas channel 14, the dust suction opening 11, and two adjacent components of the first dust cup device 12 and the second dust cup device 22 are in butt joint communication through the dust gas channel 14, so as to form an integral air duct. The dust gas channel 14 may be a separate component, such as a hose or a hard tube, which is hollow in the interior. In the present embodiment, the dust gas channel 14 is preferably formed in an integrally formed manner inside the base, so as to achieve both sealability and processing efficiency.

Referring to fig. 1-3, a first dust cup device 12 of the horizontal machine 1 is detachably fixed on a base 10; the first dirt cup means 12, the suction opening 11 and the second dirt cup means 22 are in communication with each other to form a dirt gas conveying path. The hand-held set 2 is vertically or transversely detachably fixed on the base; and/or the first dirt cup apparatus 12 is removably secured to the base either vertically or laterally. Preferably, both the handset 2 and the first dirt cup apparatus 12 are arranged in a first direction, such as a vertical or transverse direction (the first direction in this embodiment is the vertical direction of the cleaner).

In this way, both the first dirt cup apparatus 12 and the handset 2 are detachable from the base in either the vertical or lateral directions.

In addition, in the present embodiment, the hand-held machine 2 and the first dust cup device 12 are respectively provided with the handle 3 along the first direction (the first direction in the present embodiment is the vertical direction of the dust collector), and the arrangement of the handle 3 makes the taking, placing and gripping of the hand-held machine 2 and the first dust cup device 12 of the horizontal machine 1 more convenient and labor-saving. The handle 3 in this embodiment may be a handle, a grip, a bump, etc. that facilitates gripping by a human hand, or may be a structure that is provided with grooves or protrusions on the top wall and/or the side wall of the handset 2 and the horizontal machine 1, etc. that facilitates the hand to apply force to the handset 2 or the first dust cup apparatus 12. That is, the present embodiment is not limited to the structure of the handle 3, and may be used to facilitate the mounting and dismounting of the handset 2 and/or the first dust cup apparatus 12 from the base 10.
