本發明係有關於一種用於清潔及/或清空第一吸塵器之集塵室之基站，此基站具有基礎集塵腔、與該基礎集塵腔呈流體連接的第一進風口、及與該基礎集塵腔呈流體連接的第一排風口，其中，進風口及排風口可與第一吸塵器之風道相連接，使得，包含在第一吸塵器之集塵室中之待吸物可被風扇輸送至該基礎集塵腔。其風扇可為基站之風扇或第一吸塵器之自有的風扇。 The invention relates to a base station for cleaning and/or emptying a dust collecting chamber of a first vacuum cleaner, the base station has a basic dust collecting chamber, a first air inlet fluidly connected to the basic dust collecting chamber, and the base The dust collection chamber is a fluidly connected first air outlet, wherein the air inlet and the air outlet can be connected to the air duct of the first vacuum cleaner, so that the objects to be sucked contained in the dust collection chamber of the first vacuum cleaner can be transported by the fan to The basic dust collection chamber. The fan may be the fan of the base station or the fan of the first vacuum cleaner.

先前技術中詳細揭露過上述類型之基站。此等基站特別是與具有所謂之永久過濾器之吸塵器組合使用，此永久過濾器在完全填滿待吸物時不更換，而是藉由吹洗氣流而沿著與常規抽吸方向相反的方向將灰塵清除。為此目的，可將吸塵器之集塵室連接至基站之風扇或吸塵器之自有的風扇。 The aforementioned types of base stations have been disclosed in detail in the prior art. These base stations are especially used in combination with vacuum cleaners with so-called permanent filters, which are not replaced when they are completely filled with objects to be sucked, but instead are directed in the direction opposite to the conventional suction direction by the purge air flow Dust removal. For this purpose, the dust collecting chamber of the vacuum cleaner can be connected to the fan of the base station or the fan of the vacuum cleaner itself.

例如，公開案EP 1 243 218 B1披露一種用於清潔及/或清空吸塵器之集塵室之基站，其包括基礎集塵腔，待吸物可自集塵室被轉移至此基礎集塵腔，其中，基站之風扇或待清潔的吸塵器之風扇可連接至此基礎集塵腔，以抽吸集塵室中之污物，其中，風扇之抽吸氣流可透過基礎集塵腔而偏轉至集塵室，使得，待吸物可透過由此在基礎集塵腔中產生的負壓而自集塵室被吸入基礎集塵腔。 For example, the publication EP 1 243 218 B1 discloses a base station for cleaning and/or emptying a dust collecting chamber of a vacuum cleaner, which includes a basic dust collecting chamber into which the objects to be sucked can be transferred from the dust collecting chamber, wherein, The fan of the base station or the fan of the vacuum cleaner to be cleaned can be connected to this basic dust collection chamber to suck dirt in the dust collection chamber, wherein the suction airflow of the fan can be deflected to the dust collection chamber through the basic dust collection chamber, so that , The material to be sucked can be sucked into the basic dust collecting chamber from the dust collecting chamber through the negative pressure generated in the basic dust collecting chamber.

儘管此類型之基站性能良好，但其僅適於清潔及/或清空單一個吸塵器。若使用者使用數個及/或不同之吸塵器，則需要數個基站。 Although this type of base station performs well, it is only suitable for cleaning and/or emptying a single vacuum cleaner. If the user uses several and/or different vacuum cleaners, several base stations are required.

有鑒於此，本發明之目的在於提出一種可同時連接數個吸塵器或連接不同類型之吸塵器的基站。此外，此基站應需要較小之結構空間，且儘可能減少對消費者造成之成本。 In view of this, the purpose of the present invention is to propose a base station that can connect several vacuum cleaners at the same time or connect different types of vacuum cleaners. In addition, this base station should require less structural space and minimize the cost to consumers as much as possible.

本發明用以達成上述目的之解決方案在於：此基站具有至少一個用於可分離地連接配接器模組之介面，此介面具有與基礎集塵腔流體相連接的可阻斷的第二進風口，在配接器模組與第二吸塵器相連接時，第二吸塵器之集塵室所包含之待吸物可透過第二進風口而被輸送至基礎集塵腔。 The solution of the present invention to achieve the above object is that the base station has at least one interface for detachably connecting the adapter module, and the interface has a blockable second inlet fluidly connected to the basic dust collection chamber The air inlet, when the adapter module is connected to the second vacuum cleaner, the objects to be sucked contained in the dust collection chamber of the second vacuum cleaner can be transported to the basic dust collection chamber through the second air inlet.

本發明提出一種可模組式擴展的基站，其可根據一或多個待清潔之吸塵器之類型，補充一或數個配接器模組。為此，此基站具有一或數個介面，可視需要將配接器模組連接至其介面。因此，使用者毋需為了清潔/清空兩個不同之吸塵器(例如，一個手持式可充電吸塵器及一個吸塵機器人)而購置兩個不同的基站。確切而言，使用者可針對適於清潔/清空特定吸塵器類型之基站，補充用於其他吸塵器類型之配接器模組。藉此，可完全根據使用者之個人需要設計此基站。由此，此基站亦可採用儘可能小的構造。此外，用於吸塵器之介面係成批地設於基站上，當使用者因未使用某些吸塵器類型而完全不需要其所對應之介面時，亦不必一併為此等介面付款。因此，使用者可購置一個基站及一或數個與使用者所使用之吸塵器類型對應的配接器模組。 The present invention proposes a modularly expandable base station, which can supplement one or several adapter modules according to the type of one or more vacuum cleaners to be cleaned. For this purpose, the base station has one or several interfaces, and the adapter module can be connected to its interface as needed. Therefore, users do not need to purchase two different base stations in order to clean/empty two different vacuum cleaners (for example, a handheld rechargeable vacuum cleaner and a vacuum robot). Specifically, users can add adapter modules for other vacuum cleaner types to base stations suitable for cleaning/emptying specific vacuum cleaner types. In this way, the base station can be designed completely according to the user's personal needs. Therefore, this base station can also adopt the smallest possible structure. In addition, the interfaces used for vacuum cleaners are installed in batches on the base station. When users do not need some of the corresponding interfaces because they do not use some types of vacuum cleaners, they do not have to pay for these interfaces. Therefore, the user can purchase a base station and one or more adapter modules corresponding to the type of vacuum cleaner used by the user.

本發明提出：第二吸塵器之集塵室所包含之待吸物，可被此基站之風扇、第二吸塵器之風扇或第一吸塵器之風扇輸送至基礎集塵腔。因此，亦可有益地透過基礎集塵腔，用待抽吸的第二吸塵器之自有的風扇或另一吸塵器(如，第一吸塵器)之風扇，對此基站之第二進風口進行清潔。無論哪些吸塵器類型連接至此基站，使用者皆可有益地藉由選擇開關來選擇需要將哪個集塵室清空、及需要使用哪個吸塵器風扇。為此，可有益地選擇功率較大的風扇。而後，在此基站內部將諸多流徑相互連接，使得，空氣自待清潔之吸塵器流向該吸塵器之風扇或另一吸塵器之風扇。若需要藉由第二吸塵器之自有風扇對第二吸塵器之集塵室進行清潔，則此基站之連接有配接器模組及第二吸塵器的第二進風口與此基站之同樣與配接器模組及第二吸塵器呈流體連接的第二排風口，係以流體技術方式相對應。 The invention proposes that the objects to be sucked contained in the dust collecting chamber of the second vacuum cleaner can be transported to the basic dust collecting chamber by the fan of the base station, the fan of the second vacuum cleaner or the fan of the first vacuum cleaner. Therefore, it is also beneficial to clean the second air inlet of the base station by using the fan of the second vacuum cleaner to be sucked or the fan of another vacuum cleaner (such as the first vacuum cleaner) through the basic dust collection chamber. Regardless of which vacuum cleaner type is connected to this base station, the user can beneficially select which dust collection chamber needs to be emptied and which vacuum cleaner fan needs to be used by the selection switch. For this reason, it is beneficial to choose a fan with a larger power. Then, inside the base station, many flow paths are connected to each other, so that air flows from the vacuum cleaner to be cleaned to the fan of the vacuum cleaner or the fan of another vacuum cleaner. If the dust collector of the second vacuum cleaner needs to be cleaned by its own fan, then the base station is connected with the adapter module and the second air inlet of the second vacuum cleaner is the same as the base station. The module and the second vacuum cleaner are fluidly connected to the second air outlet, which corresponds to the fluid technology.

有益地，此基站之第一進風口及/或第二進風口對應設有進入閥，此進入閥可根據需要進行切換，以輸送來自第一吸塵器之集塵室或來自第二吸塵器之集塵室的待吸物。藉此，可按需要在基站內部形成可選的流徑，來清潔連接至此基站之第一或第二吸塵器。 Beneficially, the first air inlet and/or the second air inlet of the base station are correspondingly provided with an inlet valve, which can be switched as needed to convey the dust from the dust collection chamber of the first vacuum cleaner or the dust collection from the second vacuum cleaner Room to be sucked. In this way, an optional flow path can be formed inside the base station as needed to clean the first or second vacuum cleaner connected to the base station.

根據第一實施方式，此基站上例如可僅連接第一吸塵器，其中，原則上毋需將第二進風口與配接器模組相連接。其中，以最簡單之實施方式使用此基站。清潔吸塵器之集塵室時，將此基站之第一進風口及第一排風口與該第一吸塵器之風道相連接，從而，藉由待清潔之第一吸塵器之風扇，將集塵室所包含之待吸物輸送至基礎集塵腔。為了實現對清潔過程之選擇，此基站例如可具有 開關，基站之使用者可手動操縱其開關。透過開關，可對數個功能進行選擇，其中，僅有與連接至基站之吸塵器有關的功能可供選擇。作為補充性方案，亦可用數個檔位操縱其開關，例如，輕按開關以啟動風扇，以及，將開關按到底以接通特定的流徑。在例如第一及第二吸塵器皆連接至此基站時，使用者可選擇是否需要藉由第二吸塵器之風扇或第一吸塵器之風扇，對第二吸塵器進行清潔。可同樣藉由開關以選擇需要清潔哪個吸塵器，以及，由哪個吸塵器提供用於清潔之風扇。 According to the first embodiment, for example, only the first vacuum cleaner may be connected to the base station, and in principle, it is not necessary to connect the second air inlet to the adapter module. Among them, this base station is used in the simplest implementation. When cleaning the dust collecting room of the vacuum cleaner, connect the first air inlet and the first air outlet of the base station to the air duct of the first vacuum cleaner, so that the fan of the first vacuum cleaner to be cleaned The contained objects to be sucked are transported to the basic dust collection chamber. In order to realize the selection of the cleaning process, this base station may for example have Switch, the user of the base station can manually control its switch. Through the switch, several functions can be selected, of which only the functions related to the vacuum cleaner connected to the base station are available for selection. As a supplementary solution, it is also possible to operate its switch with several gears, for example, lightly pressing the switch to activate the fan, and pressing the switch all the way to connect a specific flow path. For example, when both the first and second vacuum cleaners are connected to the base station, the user can select whether the second vacuum cleaner needs to be cleaned by the fan of the second vacuum cleaner or the fan of the first vacuum cleaner. The switch can also be used to select which vacuum cleaner needs to be cleaned, and which vacuum cleaner provides the fan for cleaning.

根據第二實施方式，使用者可用機電方式代替手動方式來接通風路。根據本技術方案，此基站自主地識別哪些吸塵器連接至第一進風口、第二進風口及(視需要)其他的進風口，並在所連接之吸塵器形成特定的組合時，啟動特定的清潔方案。若例如僅第一吸塵器連接至此基站，則在此基站內部接通流徑，從而，藉由第一吸塵器之風扇對第一吸塵器之集塵室進行清潔。若第一吸塵器連接至此基站之第一進風口，且具有第二吸塵器的配接器模組連接至第二進風口，則此基站可預設為基本上使用第一吸塵器之風扇，對第二吸塵器進行抽吸。作為替代方案，亦可藉由第二吸塵器之風扇對第二吸塵器之集塵室進行清潔。作為補充性方案，例如，亦可確定特定的清潔順序，從而依據所確定之順序，依次對數個連接至此基站之吸塵器進行清潔。例如，可始終先清潔第一吸塵器之集塵室，接著再清潔其他吸塵器。有益地，此基站可藉由佈置在諸進風口及排風口之區域中的接點，而識別是否有吸塵器及/或配接器模組連接至此基站。視需要，亦可透過該等接點之類型，以識別某些吸塵器類型。 According to the second embodiment, the user can use the electromechanical method instead of the manual method to connect the ventilation path. According to this technical solution, the base station autonomously recognizes which vacuum cleaners are connected to the first air inlet, the second air inlet and (as needed) other air inlets, and starts a specific cleaning solution when the connected vacuum cleaners form a specific combination . For example, if only the first vacuum cleaner is connected to the base station, a flow path is connected inside the base station, so that the dust collecting chamber of the first vacuum cleaner is cleaned by the fan of the first vacuum cleaner. If the first vacuum cleaner is connected to the first air inlet of this base station, and the adapter module with the second vacuum cleaner is connected to the second air inlet, the base station can be preset to basically use the fan of the first vacuum cleaner. Vacuum cleaner for suction. As an alternative, the dust collecting chamber of the second vacuum cleaner can also be cleaned by the fan of the second vacuum cleaner. As a supplementary solution, for example, a specific cleaning sequence may also be determined, so that in accordance with the determined sequence, several vacuum cleaners connected to the base station are sequentially cleaned. For example, you can always clean the dust chamber of the first vacuum cleaner before cleaning other vacuum cleaners. Beneficially, the base station can recognize whether there is a vacuum cleaner and/or adapter module connected to the base station through the contacts arranged in the area of the air inlets and air outlets. If necessary, certain types of vacuum cleaners can be identified by the type of these contacts.

本發明例如提出了一種設計方案，根據此方案，此基站之進入閥可為了輸送第二吸塵器之集塵室中的待吸物，而切換成將第一進風口封閉，並且，該進入閥可為了輸送第一吸塵器之集塵室中的待吸物，而切換成將第二進風口封閉。因此，進入閥可在兩個不同的位置之間切換，其中，第一位置提供通向配接器模組之流徑，而第二位置則適於對第一吸塵器之集塵室中的待吸物進行輸送。根據待吸物之所接通的自第一進風口或自第二進風口之流徑，必須相應地封閉另一進風口，即，封閉第二進風口或第一進風口，此點有益地同時藉由該進入閥而實現。因此，該進入閥同時實現了打開第一流徑及關閉第二流徑之功能。 The present invention proposes, for example, a design scheme, according to which the inlet valve of the base station can be switched to close the first air inlet for conveying the to-be-absorbed material in the dust collection chamber of the second vacuum cleaner, and the inlet valve can be The object to be sucked in the dust collecting chamber of the first vacuum cleaner is transported, and the second air inlet is closed. Therefore, the inlet valve can be switched between two different positions, where the first position provides a flow path to the adapter module, and the second position is suitable for waiting in the dust collector of the first vacuum cleaner Aspirate to transport. According to the flow path from the first air inlet or the second air inlet connected to the object to be sucked, the other air inlet must be closed accordingly, that is, the second air inlet or the first air inlet is closed, which is beneficially simultaneously This is achieved by the inlet valve. Therefore, the inlet valve simultaneously realizes the functions of opening the first flow path and closing the second flow path.

本發明提出：進入閥對應於閥門控制裝置，其適於在配接器模組與第二進風口相連接時自動地切換進入閥，使第一進風口被封閉。本技術方案提出：閥門控制裝置作為對諸多流徑之初始設定，在配接器模組與基站相連接時，自動封閉第一進風口並打開第二進風口。就此而言，將視需要仍存在的適於清潔第一吸塵器之流徑分離，並且，將適於清潔連接至配接器模組的第二吸塵器之流徑打開。此種預設例如適用於以下情況：第一吸塵器為電網驅動之臥式吸塵器，第二吸塵器為清潔機器人，而其集塵室之灰塵容量基本上小於電網驅動之吸塵器之集塵室。 The invention proposes that the inlet valve corresponds to a valve control device, which is suitable for automatically switching the inlet valve when the adapter module is connected to the second air inlet, so that the first air inlet is closed. The technical solution proposes that the valve control device serves as an initial setting for many flow paths. When the adapter module is connected to the base station, the first air inlet is automatically closed and the second air inlet is opened. In this regard, the flow path suitable for cleaning the first vacuum cleaner that is still present as necessary is separated, and the flow path suitable for cleaning the second vacuum cleaner connected to the adapter module is opened. Such a preset is applicable to the following situations, for example: the first vacuum cleaner is a grid-driven horizontal vacuum cleaner, the second vacuum cleaner is a cleaning robot, and the dust capacity of the dust collection chamber is substantially smaller than that of the grid-driven vacuum cleaner.

其介面可具有可逆阻斷第二進風口的罩蓋及/或介面閥，其適於在第二進風口與配接器模組相連接時，打開第二進風口。在第一種情況下，該介面具有罩蓋，其例如能以可手動操縱及/或移除的方式佈置在此基站之第二進風口上。其中，該罩蓋之功能在於：例如在清潔佈置在第一進風口上之吸塵器時，防止二次空氣 穿過第二進風口進入此基站。原則上，該罩蓋可以手動或機電方式操縱，且具有不同的實施方式，例如，構建為活門、塞子等。在第二種情況下，該介面具有將第二進風口阻斷的介面閥，特別是，較佳為採用機電操縱方案，其中，在配接器模組連接至第二進風口時，該閥門直接打開。因此，此基站之使用者毋需手動打開第二進風口，而是僅需將配接器模組與其介面相連接，便能實現自動打開。類似地，該介面在未安裝配接器模組之情況下--因取下配接器模組而自動地--封閉。 The interface may have a cover that reversibly blocks the second air inlet and/or an interface valve, which is suitable for opening the second air inlet when the second air inlet is connected to the adapter module. In the first case, the interface has a cover, which can be arranged on the second air inlet of the base station in a manner that can be manually manipulated and/or removed, for example. Among them, the function of the cover is to prevent secondary air when cleaning the vacuum cleaner arranged on the first air inlet, for example Enter the base station through the second air inlet. In principle, the cover can be operated manually or electromechanically, and has different embodiments, for example, constructed as a shutter, a stopper, etc. In the second case, the interface has an interface valve that blocks the second air inlet, in particular, it is preferable to adopt an electromechanical operation scheme, wherein, when the adapter module is connected to the second air inlet, the valve Open directly. Therefore, the user of the base station does not need to manually open the second air inlet, but only needs to connect the adapter module and its interface to realize automatic opening. Similarly, the interface is automatically closed when the adapter module is not installed—because the adapter module is removed.

因此，本發明進一步提出：介面閥可藉由配接器模組之區段部之機械作用而打開，該區段部特別是配接器排風口。其中，與介面閥相連接的介面控制裝置可對介面與配接器模組間之機械接觸進行識別，例如，透過以下方式：配接器模組之配接器排風口接觸該介面，具體方式例如在於，配接器風道之區段部伸入第二進風口之區段部，類似於插式連接。其中，佈置在介面上之機械接點可對配接器模組與基站在第二進風口之區域中的接觸進行識別，並發送相應的信號至最終輸出打開命令的閥門控制裝置。 Therefore, the invention further proposes that the interface valve can be opened by the mechanical action of the section part of the adapter module, in particular the section exhaust port of the adapter. Among them, the interface control device connected to the interface valve can identify the mechanical contact between the interface and the adapter module, for example, through the following methods: the adapter exhaust port of the adapter module contacts the interface, the specific method For example, the section of the adapter duct extends into the section of the second air inlet, similar to a plug-in connection. Among them, the mechanical contacts arranged on the interface can recognize the contact between the adapter module and the base station in the area of the second air inlet, and send a corresponding signal to the valve control device that finally outputs the opening command.

除前述之基站外，本發明亦提出一種基站系統，其具有如前述任一實施方式之基站及可與該基站之介面相連接的配接器模組，其中，該配接器模組具有對應於該介面之配接器排風口及可與第二吸塵器之風道相連接的配接器進風口。配接器模組在基站與第二吸塵器之間起配接器作用，其中，配接器模組一方面具有對應於該介面之配接器排風口，另一方面具有與第二吸塵器之介面對應的配接器進風口。由此，總體上形成一風道，其首先透過配接器模組所提供之風道，將第二吸塵器之集塵室與基站通向風扇之流徑 相連接。其風扇例如可為第一吸塵器之風扇、第二吸塵器之風扇、或基站之風扇。根據任一個上述可選方案，其流徑皆經過基站之基礎集塵腔，從而可將待清潔之吸塵器的集塵室所包含之待吸物收集於基站中。 In addition to the aforementioned base stations, the present invention also proposes a base station system having a base station as in any of the foregoing embodiments and an adapter module connectable to the interface of the base station, wherein the adapter module has a corresponding The adapter air outlet at the interface and the adapter air inlet that can be connected to the air duct of the second vacuum cleaner. The adapter module functions as an adapter between the base station and the second vacuum cleaner, wherein the adapter module has an adapter exhaust port corresponding to the interface on the one hand, and an interface with the second vacuum cleaner on the other hand Corresponding adapter air inlet.

Among them, the housing of the first vacuum cleaner 3 is in contact with the contact 19 of the base station 1. The shape of the housing of the first vacuum cleaner 3 may be constructed such that the shape of the housing is correspondingly pressed toward the contact 19, and distinguishes a particular type of vacuum cleaner from other vacuum cleaners.

圖4示出基站1，其上連接有如圖3所示之第一吸塵器3。此外，配接器模組16連接至基站1之介面13。為此目的，將保護介面13之罩蓋24自基站1移除。配接器模組16以其配接器排風口17連接至介面13。在配接器模組16之配接器進風口18之區域中設有第二吸塵器4，其在此係構建為自走式吸塵機器人(robotic vacuum cleaner,robovac)。可將配接器模組16之可偏轉的抽吸臂23偏轉至相當於第二吸塵器4在配接器模組16上之對接位置的位置。 FIG. 4 shows the base station 1 to which the first vacuum cleaner 3 shown in FIG. 3 is connected. In addition, the adapter module 16 is connected to the interface 13 of the base station 1. For this purpose, the cover 24 protecting the interface 13 is removed from the base station 1. The adapter module 16 is connected to the interface 13 with its adapter vent 17. A second vacuum cleaner 4 is provided in the area of the adapter air inlet 18 of the adapter module 16, which is constructed here as a robotic vacuum cleaner (robovac). The deflectable suction arm 23 of the adapter module 16 can be deflected to a position corresponding to the docking position of the second cleaner 4 on the adapter module 16.

圖5示出基站1之剖面。基站1具有基礎集塵腔2，可將待吸物15自待清潔及/或待清空之吸塵器3、4吸入該基礎集塵腔2。基礎集塵腔2與第一進風口7及第一排風口8相連接。透過其流體式連接，自第一吸塵器3被第一進風口7吸入基站1的空氣 可穿過基礎集塵腔2，隨後，透過第一排風口8再次離開基站1，並例如被輸送給第一吸塵器3之風扇11。此外，提供第二進風口12的介面13係連接至基礎集塵腔2。二股分別自第一進風口7至第一排風口8、及自第二進風口12至第一排風口8之流徑，係被進入閥14所分隔。在此，進入閥14構建為可偏轉的舌閥，其中，亦可採用其他結構形式。進入閥14可自封閉第一進風口7之位置偏轉至封閉第二進風口12之位置，反之亦然。 FIG. 5 shows a cross section of the base station 1. The base station 1 has a basic dust-collecting cavity 2, and the to-be-absorbed material 15 can be sucked into the basic dust-collecting cavity 2 from the vacuum cleaners 3 and 4 to be cleaned and/or emptied. The basic dust collection chamber 2 is connected to the first air inlet 7 and the first air outlet 8. Through its fluid connection, the air from the first vacuum cleaner 3 is sucked into the base station 1 by the first air inlet 7 It can pass through the basic dust collection chamber 2 and then leaves the base station 1 again through the first exhaust port 8 and is delivered to the fan 11 of the first vacuum cleaner 3, for example. In addition, the interface 13 providing the second air inlet 12 is connected to the basic dust collection chamber 2. The flow paths of the two strands from the first air inlet 7 to the first air outlet 8 and from the second air inlet 12 to the first air outlet 8 are separated by the inlet valve 14. Here, the inlet valve 14 is constructed as a deflectable flap valve, wherein other structural forms can also be used. The inlet valve 14 can be deflected from the position closing the first air inlet 7 to the position closing the second air inlet 12, and vice versa.

基礎集塵腔2通常可裝配有濾袋，可將該濾袋在其完全裝滿待吸物(如，灰塵及污物)時自基站1移除及/或清空。 The basic dust collection chamber 2 can be generally equipped with a filter bag, which can be removed from the base station 1 and/or emptied when it is completely filled with objects to be sucked (eg, dust and dirt).

圖6示出圖5所示之基站1之剖面，此基站1上連接有第一吸塵器3。第一吸塵器3具有吸嘴28，連接至基站1之第一進風口7。在第一吸塵器3內部，風道9自吸嘴28延伸至第一吸塵器3之風扇11。在第一吸塵器3之常規的抽吸工作中，待清潔之地板上的待吸物15被風扇11吸入吸嘴28，穿過風道9並通過對所吸入之空氣進行過濾之空氣過濾器27，使得，空氣中所包含之待吸物15附著在空氣過濾器27之過濾材料上，並且，僅有已清除待吸物15之空氣可進一步流向風扇11。 FIG. 6 shows a cross section of the base station 1 shown in FIG. 5, to which a first vacuum cleaner 3 is connected. The first vacuum cleaner 3 has a suction nozzle 28 connected to the first air inlet 7 of the base station 1. Inside the first vacuum cleaner 3, the air duct 9 extends from the suction nozzle 28 to the fan 11 of the first vacuum cleaner 3. In the conventional suction work of the first vacuum cleaner 3, the object 15 on the floor to be cleaned is sucked into the suction nozzle 28 by the fan 11, passes through the air duct 9 and passes through the air filter 27 which filters the sucked air, As a result, the to-be-absorbed material 15 contained in the air adheres to the filter material of the air filter 27, and only the air that has been cleaned of the to-be-absorbed material 15 can further flow to the fan 11.

在風道9上，在空氣過濾器27與風扇11之間連接有二次風道25，其具有二次空氣閥26。二次空氣可穿過二次風道25流入第一吸塵器3之風道9，該二次空氣係在第一吸塵器3之清潔過程期間沿著與第一吸塵器3之常規抽吸工作之流向相反的流向而流動。為了能將第一吸塵器3連接至基站1之第一排風口8，第一吸塵器3之風道9進一步具有進入區段29，其係使第一排風口8與第一吸塵器3之風扇11呈流體連接。進入區段29對應設有閥門 30，可將自基站1至第一吸塵器3之風扇11之流徑開啟或封閉。在圖式中，閥門30尚設在適於第一吸塵器3之常規抽吸工作之位置上。其中，閥門30封閉了基站1之第一排風口8與第一吸塵器3之風道9之間的流體連接。 The air duct 9 is connected between the air filter 27 and the fan 11 with a secondary air duct 25 having a secondary air valve 26. Secondary air can flow into the air duct 9 of the first vacuum cleaner 3 through the secondary air duct 25, which is in the opposite direction to the conventional suction work of the first vacuum cleaner 3 during the cleaning process of the first vacuum cleaner 3 Flow. In order to connect the first vacuum cleaner 3 to the first air outlet 8 of the base station 1, the air duct 9 of the first vacuum cleaner 3 further has an inlet section 29, which makes the first air outlet 8 and the fan 11 of the first vacuum cleaner 3 Fluid connection. There is a valve corresponding to the entry section 29 30. The flow path of the fan 11 from the base station 1 to the first vacuum cleaner 3 can be opened or closed. In the figure, the valve 30 is still located at a position suitable for the normal suction work of the first vacuum cleaner 3. The valve 30 closes the fluid connection between the first air outlet 8 of the base station 1 and the air duct 9 of the first vacuum cleaner 3.

圖7示出在第一吸塵器3之集塵室5即將被實施清潔過程之情況下的基站1，此基站1上佈置有第一吸塵器3。為啟動清潔工作，將開關22壓入相應的操作位置。閥門30隨之偏轉至一位置，在此位置上，風道9在風扇11與空氣過濾器27之間以流體技術之方式被分隔。藉此，進入區段29同時被開啟，而該進入區段29係在基站1之第一排風口8與第一吸塵器3之風扇11之間延伸。 FIG. 7 shows the base station 1 in the case where the dust collecting chamber 5 of the first vacuum cleaner 3 is about to be subjected to a cleaning process, and the first vacuum cleaner 3 is arranged on this base station 1. To start the cleaning work, the switch 22 is pressed into the corresponding operating position. The valve 30 is then deflected to a position where the air duct 9 is fluidically separated between the fan 11 and the air filter 27. Thereby, the entry section 29 is simultaneously opened, and the entry section 29 extends between the first exhaust port 8 of the base station 1 and the fan 11 of the first vacuum cleaner 3.

圖8示出下一步驟，在此步驟中，佈置在二次風道25上之二次空氣閥26打開，以便用於清潔過程之二次空氣進入第一吸塵器3之風道9。 FIG. 8 shows the next step in which the secondary air valve 26 arranged on the secondary air duct 25 is opened so that the secondary air used for the cleaning process enters the air duct 9 of the first cleaner 3.

佈置在第一進風口7與基站1之第二進風口12之間的進入閥14，為了清潔第一吸塵器3之集塵室6而偏轉至一位置，在此位置上，第二進風口12封閉，使得，空氣不會穿過第二進風口12而流入基礎集塵腔2。相應地，第一進風口7與第一排風口8間之流徑係透過基礎集塵腔2而被開啟。 The inlet valve 14 arranged between the first air inlet 7 and the second air inlet 12 of the base station 1 is deflected to a position for cleaning the dust collection chamber 6 of the first vacuum cleaner 3, and at this position, the second air inlet 12 It is closed so that air will not flow through the second air inlet 12 into the basic dust collection chamber 2. Accordingly, the flow path between the first air inlet 7 and the first air outlet 8 is opened through the basic dust collection chamber 2.

如此實施用於清潔集塵室5之清潔過程，使得，風扇11透過第一排風口8依次在基礎集塵腔2、吸嘴28、集塵室5、及第一吸塵器3之空氣過濾器27中產生負壓。藉此，將二次空氣藉由二次空氣閥26吸入二次風道25，該二次空氣沿著針對空氣過濾器27之過濾功能相反的流向穿過空氣過濾器27。其中，對空氣過 濾器27之外壁進行清潔，並將附著在其外壁上之待吸物15吸入集塵室5。隨後，將總體處於集塵室5中之待吸物15透過吸嘴28轉移至基礎集塵腔2，其如此收集了待吸物15，且可在基礎集塵腔2之後續清潔過程中將待吸物15清除。因此，穿過基礎集塵腔2之載有待吸物之空氣被清潔，並在無待吸物15之情況下透過第一排風口8而進入第一吸塵器3之風扇11。因此，第一吸塵器3總體上藉由其自有的風扇11得到清潔，其中，集塵室5所包含之待吸物15被轉移至基站1之基礎集塵腔2。基站1毋需具有自有風扇，確切而言，基站1可構建為被動的站體，提供諸多相應的流徑，且將待吸物15收集於基礎集塵腔2內部。 The cleaning process for cleaning the dust collection chamber 5 is carried out in such a manner that the fan 11 passes through the first exhaust port 8 in the basic dust collection chamber 2, the suction nozzle 28, the dust collection chamber 5, and the air filter 27 of the first vacuum cleaner 3 in this order Produces negative pressure. Thereby, the secondary air is sucked into the secondary air passage 25 through the secondary air valve 26, and the secondary air passes through the air filter 27 in the opposite flow direction to the filtering function of the air filter 27. Among them, the air The outer wall of the filter 27 is cleaned, and the to-be-absorbed material 15 attached to the outer wall is sucked into the dust collection chamber 5. Subsequently, the to-be-absorbed material 15 which is generally in the dust-collecting chamber 5 is transferred to the basic dust-collecting chamber 2 through the suction nozzle 28, which collects the to-be-absorbed material 15 in this way, and can absorb the to-be-absorbed material in the subsequent cleaning process of the basic dust-collecting chamber 15 Clear. Therefore, the air carrying the object to be sucked passing through the basic dust collecting chamber 2 is cleaned, and enters the fan 11 of the first vacuum cleaner 3 through the first exhaust port 8 without the object to be sucked 15. Therefore, the first vacuum cleaner 3 is generally cleaned by its own fan 11, wherein the to-be-absorbed objects 15 contained in the dust collection chamber 5 are transferred to the basic dust collection chamber 2 of the base station 1. The base station 1 does not need to have its own fan. Specifically, the base station 1 can be constructed as a passive station body, providing many corresponding flow paths, and collecting the to-be-absorbed material 15 inside the basic dust collection chamber 2.

圖9示出第一吸塵器3剛完成清潔時之基站1及第一吸塵器3之狀態。其中，自第一吸塵器3清除之待吸物15係位處於基站1之基礎集塵腔2中。進入閥14迴轉至其初始位置，其中，該進入閥14封閉了基站1之第一進風口7，使得，基礎集塵腔2所包含之待吸物15不會穿過吸嘴28而回到第一吸塵器3。 9 shows the state of the base station 1 and the first vacuum cleaner 3 immediately after the first vacuum cleaner 3 has finished cleaning. Among them, the to-be-absorbed material 15 removed from the first vacuum cleaner 3 is located in the basic dust collection chamber 2 of the base station 1. The inlet valve 14 rotates to its initial position, wherein the inlet valve 14 closes the first air inlet 7 of the base station 1, so that the to-be-sucked material 15 contained in the basic dust collection chamber 2 does not pass through the suction nozzle 28 and return to the first position One vacuum cleaner 3.

最後，圖10及圖11示出一實施例，其中，將第二吸塵器4透過配接器模組16以連接至基站1。 Finally, FIGS. 10 and 11 show an embodiment in which the second vacuum cleaner 4 is connected to the base station 1 through the adapter module 16.

如圖所示，將配接器模組16連接至基站1之介面13。為此，將到目前為止一直佈置在介面13上之罩蓋24移除，以便將配接器模組16之配接器排風口17連接至基站1之第二進風口12。佈置在介面13之區域中的接點20可構造成為使得諸接點可識別配接器模組16與基站1之連接，並例如開啟(附加地)佈置在介面13之區域中的介面閥(未繪示)。作為替代方案，使用者亦可簡單地自介面13手動地移除罩蓋24，進而開啟用於配接器模組16之第二進 風口12。 As shown, the adapter module 16 is connected to the interface 13 of the base station 1. For this reason, the cover 24 that has been arranged on the interface 13 so far is removed so as to connect the adapter air outlet 17 of the adapter module 16 to the second air inlet 12 of the base station 1. The contacts 20 arranged in the area of the interface 13 can be configured such that the contacts can recognize the connection of the adapter module 16 to the base station 1 and, for example, open (additionally) the interface valve arranged in the area of the interface 13 ( Not shown).
