Wherein the vertical frame 10 is provided with an inlet 100, an inlet passage (not shown in the drawing) connected to the inlet 100, and a fixing sleeve 102 located below the inlet 100 and extending protrudingly forward. The head 30 is provided inside with a motor 32 for providing a vacuum power source, wherein the motor inlet is located there below. Both the dust cup 40 and the water tank 50 are located in front of the vertical frame 10.
As shown in Figs. 2-4, the supporting portion 14 is fixedly connected below the vertical frame 10, and located above and adjacent to the floor brush 20. The supporting portion 14 includes a supporting plate 140 used for supporting the dust cup 40 and the bottom of the water tank 50 at the same time, and a fixing plate 142 located below the supporting plate 140 and sleeved with a fixing sleeve 102. Wherein the supporting plate 140 includes a recess 1402 used for supporting the dust cup 40 and a stepped portion 1404 used for supporting the water tank 50, while the stepped portion 1404 includes a water receiving aperture 1406 butting to a water effluent portion 52 of the water tank 50 and a barrier rib 1408 used for spacing the dust cup 40 and the water tank 50. The recess 1402 is provided with at least one protrusion 1407 located at its edge for preventing the dust cup 40 from rotating. The recess 1402 and the stepped portion 1404, having a step thereinbetween, are not on the same plane. The fixing plate 142 is engaged with the supporting plate 140, and provided with a positioning groove 1420 for accommodating the fixing sleeve 102.
As shown in Figs. 2-3, the dust cup 40, removable and generally tubular, is provided above with a cover 42 that is fitted tightly with the head and removable, and provided inside with an inlet chamber 400 communicating with the inlet 100 and located at the bottom, a tubular cyclone chamber 400 located above and communicating with the inlet chamber402, and a dust collecting chamber 402 located between the wall of the dust cup and the cyclone chamber 404, wherein the cyclone chamber 402 communicates with the dust collecting chamber 404 through the upper opening, with the inlet chamber 400 having a greater diameter than the cyclone chamber 402, so as to form a spiral inlet passage that helps high speed rotation of the airflow. The cover 42 includes a filter cover 420 that can extend into the cyclone chamber 402, and a HEPA 422 located above the filter cover 420. Wherein the HEPA 422 communicates downstream with the motor 32.
The water tank 50 is also removable and locally in an arc form, including a water effluent portion 52 at the bottom and a positioning portion 54 at the top. In this example, the positioning portion 54 is preferably a groove.
