It is to be understood that these directional terms are merely used to facilitate the description of the present application and to simplify the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the devices or elements referred to must have, be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, and thus are not to be construed as limiting the present application.

An embodiment of the present application provides a cleaning apparatus 10, referring to fig. 6 and 7, the cleaning apparatus 10 includes a main body 14 and a dirt cup assembly 11, the dirt cup assembly 11 being disposed on the main body 14.

Wherein the cleaning device 10 is a cleaning appliance, such as a vacuum cleaner, capable of performing a cleaning function. For ease of description, the embodiments of the present application will be described with reference to the cleaning apparatus 10 as a vacuum cleaner.

The dust cup assembly 11 includes a cup body 12 and a dust discharge door 13, the cup body 12 includes a dust suction chamber 12a having a dust outlet 122a, the dust suction chamber 12a has a top side 12aa and a bottom side 12ab along a height direction of the cleaning apparatus, the dust outlet 122a is located between the top side 12aa and the bottom side 12ab and is offset from a front-rear direction of the cleaning apparatus in a traveling state, and the dust discharge door 13 is openably and closably provided at the dust outlet 122 a.

Specifically, the dust discharge door 13 is openably and closably provided at the dust outlet 122 a. That is, the dust outlet 122a can be opened by opening the dust discharge door 13, and the dust outlet 122a can be closed by closing the dust discharge door 13.

The arrangement of the ash discharge door 13 is not limited. For example, the ash gate 13 is rotatably connected to the cup 12. The top end of the ash discharging door 13 may be a rotating shaft connected with the cup body 12, and the ash discharging door 13 rotates around the rotating shaft. Of course, the bottom end or the side edge of the ash discharging door 13 can be a rotating shaft connected with the cup body 12.

The front-rear direction of the cleaning apparatus 10 in the traveling state means that the side of the cleaning apparatus 10 close to the user is the rear side and the side far from the user is the front side during the traveling of the user using or pushing the cleaning apparatus 10, and the front-rear direction is the direction of the cleaning apparatus 10 from the front side to the rear side and from the rear side to the front side.

The dust outlet 122a is located between the top side 12aa and the bottom side 12ab, that is, the dust outlet 122a is not located on both sides of the top and bottom of the dust collection chamber 12a, and the opening direction is not toward the top side 12aa or the bottom side 12 ab.

The dust outlet 122a is offset from the front-rear direction of the cleaning apparatus 10 in the traveling state and is not located on both sides of the top and bottom of the dust collection chamber 12a, but the installation position thereof may be set according to actual situations. For example, the dust outlet 122a is located at one side of the dust collection chamber 12a in the lateral direction, which is a direction perpendicular to the height direction and the front-rear direction.

Another embodiment of the present application provides a cleaning system, referring to fig. 1, 3 and 5, the cleaning system includes a base station 20 and a cleaning apparatus 10 according to any embodiment of the present application, the base station 20 includes a dust collection bin 21a having a dust inlet 21aa, and the dust inlet 21aa selectively communicates with a dust outlet 122a when the cleaning apparatus 10 is in a state of docking with the base station 20.

Specifically, the communication timing between the ash inlet 21aa and the ash outlet 122a can be determined according to the actual situation. For example, the ash inlet 21aa may be in communication with the dust outlet 122a during docking of the base station 20 with the cleaning device 10. The base station 20 and the cleaning apparatus 10 may be docked to a predetermined position such that the dust inlet 21aa communicates with the dust outlet 122 a. After the base station 20 and the cleaning apparatus 10 are docked, the dust inlet 21aa and the dust outlet 122a may be connected according to actual needs.

The manner in which the dust inlet 21aa communicates with the dust outlet 122a is not limited. For example, it may be that the base station 20 comprises an unlocking structure, and the dirt cup assembly 11 comprises a catch for locking the dust discharge door 13, whereby, in a state in which the cleaning apparatus 10 is in the docking station 20, the unlocking structure may contact the catch to lock the dust discharge door 13 according to the actual situation, so as to enable the dust inlet 21aa to communicate with the dust outlet 122 a.

The base station 20 is a device that is compatible with the cleaning device 10. The base station 20 is capable of interfacing with the cleaning device 10 for receiving debris (e.g., dust) received in the dirt cup assembly 11. Of course, the base station 20 may have other functions depending on the actual situation. For example, the base station 20 may also be used to charge the cleaning device 10 by interfacing with the cleaning device 10.

The dust collection chamber 12a of the cleaning apparatus 10 of the embodiment of the present application has a top side 12aa and a bottom side 12ab along the height direction of the cleaning apparatus 10, and the dust outlet 122a is located between the top side 12aa and the bottom side 12ab and is offset from the front-rear direction of the cleaning apparatus 10 in the traveling state. Thus, after the base station 20 is docked with the dust outlet 122a of the cleaning apparatus 10, the base station 20 is not located in the front-rear direction of the cleaning apparatus 10, and thus the structural size of the entire base station in the front-rear direction of the cleaning apparatus 10 is not increased, so that the entire structure thereof can be prevented from protruding forward.

In one embodiment, cup 12 includes a sidewall 122 having a dust outlet 122 a. That is, the dust outlet 122a of the dust collection chamber 12a is located on the sidewall 122 of the cup 12.

It should be noted that, the side wall 122 is a wall body in the circumferential direction of the cup body 12, and the shape of the side wall 122 is not limited, and may be an arc surface, such as a cylindrical surface.

Depending on the actual situation, the side walls 122 may be extending in the height direction.

The specific arrangement of the dirt cup assembly 11 on the main body 14 can be set according to actual requirements. For example, referring to fig. 5 and 7, a portion of the body 14 is open to form a mounting groove 14a, and the cup 12 is disposed in the mounting groove 14 a. That is, the cup body 12 of the dirt cup assembly 11 can be disposed in the mounting groove 14a of the main body 14, and the accommodation space inside the main body 14 can be fully utilized, so that the structure of the cleaning apparatus 10 is more compact.

It should be noted that, the region of the main body 14 at the bottom side of the dust cup assembly 11 has a dust collection channel, and the side of the cup body 12 near the dust collection channel has a dust passing opening communicating with the dust collection channel, so that the garbage in the dust collection channel enters into the dust collection cavity 12 a.

In addition, the setting position of the dust outlet 122a may be determined according to the actual situation.

Illustratively, the dust outlet 122a is disposed at a position near the bottom side of the side wall 122 in the height direction. Thereby, it is convenient for the garbage in the dust suction chamber 12a to be sucked out from the dust outlet 122a by the blower in the base station 20.

In one embodiment, referring to fig. 5 and 9, the cup 12 includes an end wall 121 at the bottom side of the side wall 122, and the dust outlet 122a is located at a side of the side wall 122 near the end wall 121 in the height direction.

It should be noted that, in the related art, the dust outlet of the dust collector is generally disposed on the end wall of the dust cup, not on the side wall. This allows the dirt cup to be either inverted (i.e. placed vertically relative to the dirt cup assembly of figure 1) or misaligned with the body to interface with the base station through the end wall when assembled with the body of the cleaner. However, the above-described manner can lead to a substantial increase in the lateral dimensions of the cleaner.

While the dust outlet 122a of the present embodiment is provided in the side wall 122 of the dirt cup assembly 11, rather than in the end wall 121. Thus, without having to put the dirt cup assembly 11 upside down and without having to misplace the dirt cup assembly 11 with the main body 14, the base station 20 can be laterally docked with the dirt outlet 122a of the cleaning apparatus 10, and the lateral dimensions of the cleaning apparatus 10 can be reduced as much as possible. The dust outlet 122a may be oriented horizontally in a state in which the cleaning apparatus 10 is in the docking station 20 so as to communicate with the dust inlet 21aa of the base station 20. The dust outlet 122a may be oriented in other directions due to the different shapes of the side walls 122.

In one embodiment, referring to fig. 5, the base station 20 includes an ash passage 22a with one end communicating with the ash inlet 21aa, and the ash outlet 122a communicates with the ash inlet 21aa through the ash passage 22a when the cleaning apparatus 10 is in the state of docking the base station 20.

Specifically, one end of the ash passage 22a is communicated with the ash inlet 21aa, and the other end is communicated with the ash outlet 122a, and the ash passage 22a can guide the garbage in the dust collection cavity 12a from the ash outlet 122a to the ash inlet 21 aa.

The specific arrangement of the ash passage 22a has a large influence on the effect of guiding the garbage.

Illustratively, in the state where the cleaning apparatus is docked to the base station 20, the horizontal center line of the dust outlet 122a, the horizontal center line of the dust inlet 21aa, and the horizontal center line of the dust passage 22a are parallel.

Specifically, the dust outlet 122a is disposed in parallel with and spaced apart from the dust inlet 21aa face to face, and the axis of the dust passage 22a is parallel to the central line of the dust outlet 122a and the dust inlet 21 aa. Therefore, the dust outlet path from the dust outlet 122a to the dust inlet 21aa can be reduced as much as possible, the dust passing channel 22a does not turn, and the air duct loss can be greatly reduced. At the same time, the dust flowing along the dust path is not easy to accumulate in the dust passage 22a, and thus the dust passage 22a is not blocked.

It will be appreciated that when the centers of the dust outlet 122a, the dust inlet 21aa and the ash passage 22a are perfectly aligned, the horizontal centerlines thereof overlap.

In one embodiment, the base station 20 includes a dust collecting bag disposed in the dust collecting bin 21a and a dust collecting cover 22 having an ash passage 22a, the dust collecting bag is communicated with the ash passage 22a through an ash inlet 21aa, and an end of the dust collecting cover 22 remote from the ash inlet 21aa is covered on a peripheral side of the ash outlet 122a in a state that the cleaning apparatus 10 is docked to the base station 20.

Specifically, the dust hood 22 houses the dust outlet 122a in the dust passage 22a, and when the dust hood 22 is abutted against the dust outlet 122a, the dust discharge door 13 provided at the dust outlet 122a is in an open state in which the dust outlet 122a is opened, and the dust discharge door 13 is also located in the dust passage 22a. Thus, the sealing performance of the communication between the ash passage 22a and the dust outlet 122a can be improved, and the dust outlet efficiency can be improved.

In addition, the base station 20 may collect dust not by the dust collecting bag but by other dust collecting structures.

For example, referring to fig. 2, 4 and 8, the base station 20 includes a dust barrel 21, the dust barrel 21 having a dust bin 21a, and one end of a dust hood 22 connected to a side of the dust barrel 21 having an ash inlet 21 aa.

In one embodiment, the dust bag and dust cup assemblies 11 are located on opposite sides of the dust hood 22 in the horizontal direction, respectively, with the cleaning apparatus 10 in the docking station 20.

Specifically, the dust cup assembly 11, the dust hood 22 and the dust bag are disposed in the same horizontal direction, whereby the dust outlet path from the dust cup assembly 11 to the dust bag can be reduced as much as possible, the air duct loss between the dust cup assembly 11 and the dust bag can be further reduced, and the air blower of the base station 20 can be more smoothly suctioned, so that the dust outlet efficiency can be improved.
