The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be dearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of this application, and it is clear that the embodiments described are only some of the embodiments of this application and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this application described in this application, all other embodiments obtained by a person skilled in the art without creative labor shall fall within the scope of protection of this application.
The inventors discovered after a long period of research that cleaning devices such as vacuum cleaners or floor sweepers rely on negative pressure to suck up debris, garbage, dust, etc. To obtain stronger negative pressure and suction, the most common practice in the industry is to increase the volume of the fan or the fan speed, but increasing volume will significantly increase noise, and increasing the fan speed will decrease the life of the fan, while the obtained suction is very limited. To solve the above problems, the inventor provides following embodiments after a long period of research and development and testing.

The number of fans 21 is at least one, corresponding to at least one air outlet 120. That is, the two fans 21 located at the two air outlets 120 correspondingly, fans 21 and air outlets 120 are correspond one by one. The fans 21 are used to extract air through the outlets 120, while creating airflow between the dust suction ports 110 to the outlets 120. The location and specific structure of the fans 21 and outlets 120 are not limited to the examples presented in
As shown in
By setting at least two fans 21 corresponding to at least two air outlets 120, each fan 21 connects to the air outlet 120 for air extraction and forms two air ducts inside the dust box 10, so that two air streams can work together to enhance the suction power, thus the air in the holding cavity 100 can be removed more quickly, and the suction port 110 can generate a stronger suction to suck in garbage. Compared to cleaning device with a single fan and a single duct, this embodiment can suck in debris with larger size, garbage with heavier mass, and can effectively improve the cleaning effect of cleaning device.
Further, connectors 22 are set with the fans 21 to connect the air outlets 120 to facilitate the installation of the fans 21 and the structural arrangement and design of the whole assembly. The connectors 22 can extend the length of the air ducts, which can make the airflow speed faster and can further enhance the suction power and cleaning effect of the dust suction port 110.

By providing the access cavity 101 connected to the air outlet 120, the circulable space in the dust box 10 is increased. Further, it facilitates the arrangement and design of multiple air outlets 120, which in turn facilitates the setting of multiple fans 21 and connectors 22, which in turn form multiple air ducts. The fans 21 do not directly pump the air in the holding cavity 100, but through the access cavity 101, which is more conducive to the holding cavity 100 for waste deposition, further enhancing the suction power of air and cleaning effect.
As shown in
By setting two air outlets 120 located on the opposite sides of the dust box 10, the dust suction port 110 is located between the two air outlets 120, thus the air duct formed inside the dust box 10 is more balanced, and the effective synergy between the two fans 21 is ensured, while the noise generated by the airflow is reduced.

The dust box 10 may include a first housing 11, a second housing 12, and a cover body 13. One side of the second housing 12 is provided over the first housing 11 to form the holding cavity 100. A recess 1210 is formed on the other side of the second housing 12, and a cover 13 is provided on the other side of the second housing 12 to form an access cavity 101. That is, the direction of the thickness of the dust box 10 is in the direction from the first housing 11 to the cover 13 and in an opposite direction. The holding cavity 100 and the access cavity 101 is spaced apart by the second housing 12 and adjacent to each other.
The first housing 11 may, for example, be provided in a slotted structure, and may include, for example, a bottom wall 111 and a side wall 112 enclosed around the bottom wall 111, with the bottom wall 111 and the side wall 112 forming the slotted structure. When the second housing 12 is provided over the first housing 11, the slotted structure is capped to form the holding cavity 100. The dust suction port 110 can be opened on the side wall 112 of the first housing 11. The dust box 10 may also include a dust suction section 14 connected to the dust suction port 110 of the first housing 11. The dust suction section 14 is set at an angle on the side back from the dust suction port 110, For example, the angle between a plane on which the side of the suction section 14 is back from the suction port 110 and a plane on which the suction port 110 is located is greater than 0° and less than 90°, for example 45°. Of course, the dust suction port 110 may also be opened in the second housing 12, and it may also be that the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 are each partially opened with a dust suction port 110 to together form the dust suction port 110 when they are covered with each other.

One side of the top wall 121 is provided over the side wall 112. of the first housing 11 so that the second housing 12 and the first housing 11 fit to form the holding cavity 100. As shown in
The first housing 11 and the second housing can be connected by nesting, for example, with a nesting groove on the circumference of one side of the top wall 121 and a nesting edge on the circumference of the side wall 112 of the first housing 11. When the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 are closed, the nesting edge is embedded in the nesting groove for connection, so that the connection is tighter and can play a sealing role. The sealing effect can be strengthened by providing seals in the nesting grooves. In this embodiment, the second housing 12 and the cover 13 can be connected by nesting, for example by the fit of a nesting slot and a nesting edge.
As shown in
The dust box assembly 1 of this embodiment may include a filter assembly, the screen assembly including a first filter 15 and a second filter 16. The filtration accuracy of the second filter 16 is :less than that of the first filter 15. In other words, the second filter 16 can act as a coarse filter (primary filter) and the first filter 15 as a fine filter (high efficiency filter). For example, for both the first filter 15 and the second filter 16, the mesh size of the second filter 16 can be larger than the mesh size of the first filter 15. For example, the second filter 16 can have 4 holes, the first filter 15 can have 100 holes, the overall size of the second filter 16 and the overall size of the first filter 15 are comparable to the size of the connecting holes 1211, so that the size of holes of the second filter 16 is larger than the size of holes of the first filter 15. As shown in
The second filter 16 and the first filter 15 can be provided in the second housing 12 and cover the connecting holes 1211 in turn. The second housing 12 is provided with a cross-shaped bracket in the connecting hole 1211, but of course it can also be other shapes (as shown in
The combination setting the first housing 11, the second housing 12, and the cover 13 makes the dust box 10 stable in structure, and easy to disassemble, which facilitate the cleaning and maintenance of the dust box 10. The combination setting of the dust box 10 facilitates makes the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 cooperate to form the holding cavity 100, and the second housing 12 and the cover 13 cooperate to form the access cavity 101, thus making the holding cavity 100 better to hold debris, garbage and other objects, and at the same time making the passage cavity 101 more quickly to discharge the air from the holding cavity 100 and speed up the airflow rate.
Further, the multi-stage filter system consisted by the second filter 16 and the first filter 15 can realize multiple filters for airflow, so that debris, dust and other waste objects can be effectively filtered and stored in the holding cavity 100, to achieve good cleaning effect. The number of connecting holes 1211 can also be multiple, an example of which is given later in this embodiment.
As shown in
Further, the top cover 132 can be fitted to the mounting holes 130 by a seal adapted to the shape of the mounting holes 130 to improve the sealing effect of the dust box 10 and to ensure effective suction of the dust suction port 110 and effective flow of airflow inside the dust box 10.
By providing a rotatable upper cover 132 with mounting holes 130, the second filter 16 and the first filter 15 can be easily removed or cleaned, and the mounting holes 130 can be easily observed inside the dust box 10 for inspection and repair.
For the first exemplary structure: of the dust box 10 described above, the dust box 10 may be further provided with a snap assembly 30 to facilitate snap connection of the dust box 10 to other devices. One example of the snap assembly 30 of the dust box is described specifically below.
As shown in
The snap assembly 30 may include a press portion 31, a resilient portion 33, and a snap bar 32. The press portion 31 connects to the snap bar 32. For example, the snap bar 32 may be a single unit, with the press portion 31 attached to the central area between the two ends of the snap bar 32. The snap bar 32 is provided with snap sections 321 protruding from. each end of the snap bar 32. As shown in
The resilient portion 33 can be used to resiliently support the press portion 31. The press portion 31 is resiliently supported on the dust box 10 by the resilient portion 33. As shown in
As shown in
In this embodiment, when the second housing 12 and the cover 13 are closed, the bar-holding slot 1212 and the access cavity 101 may be isolated from each other and not connected to each other to ensure that the suction power of the dust suction port .10 makes it better to suck up garbage. Snap holes are provided on the body 131 corresponding to the location of the snap portion :321. When the pressing portion 31 is not pressed, the elastic portion 33 is resiliently supported between the first placement slot 1110 and the second placement slot 310, the snap bar 32 is held against the top, and the snap portion 321 can protrude out of the snap hole to allow snap connections to be made when assembled with other devices. When the pressing portion 31 is pressed, the elastic portion 33 is further elastically compressed, and the pressing part 31 can move toward a bottom wall 111, for example, into the first placement slot 1110, and the snap lever 32 then moves away from the cover 13 so that the snap portion 321 does not protrude from the snap hole of the cover 13, so that it can be decoupled. The snap bar 32 can be :limited by the bar-holding slot 1212, thereby limiting the pressing portion 31 from being pressed and moving further.
Both the first placement slot 1110 and the second placement slot 310 can be provided with positioning posts to position and secure the resilient portion 33, for example, with the ends of the spring on each of the positioning posts.

The first housing 11a and the second housing 12a can be hermetically closed by suitable seals.
The dust suction port 110 is opened on the side wall 122a of the second housing 12a. The dust box 10 may also include a dust suction section 14a, which may be provided on the side wall 122a of the second housing 12a to connect to the dust suction port 110 of the second housing 12a, with the dust suction section 14a set at an angle on the side hack from the dust suction port 110. For example, the angle between the plane on the side of the suction section 14a that is away from the suction port 110 and the plane on which the suction port 110 is located is greater than 0° and less than 90°, optionally 45°. Optionally, the dust suction port 14a is removably provided in the second housing 12a. The dust suction port 14a is rotatably provided in the second housing 12a, e.g. the dust suction port 14a is rotatably connected to the second housing 12a on one side of its length (e.g. it can be a rotational connection by a pivot), and the dust suction port 14a is snap connected to the second housing 12a on the other side of its length. The length direction of the dust suction section 14a is the same or substantially the same as the length direction of the dust suction port 110. After the dust suction section 14a and the second housing 12a are disconnected, the other side of the dust suction section 14a in its length direction can be rotated around the axis of rotation of the side of the dust suction section 14a in its length direction, so that the dust suction port 110 can be exposed for easy observation, cleaning, repair and other operations.
The side of the top wall 121a back from the first housing 11a is enclosed with another part of the side wall 122a to form a recess 1210a, and the recess 1210a and the slotted structure adjacent to the side of the first shell 11a are located on each side of the top wall 121a. The cover 13a is provided over the second housing 12a to cooperate to form the access cavity 101. The second housing 12a and the cover 13a can be hermetically closed by a suitable seal.
The second housing 12a further includes extensions 123a. the extensions 123a is located on opposite sides of the second housing 12a. The extension 123a has a space where a portion of the side wall 122a of the second housing 12a can serve as the outer wall of the extension 123a (toward the outside of the dust box 10), and of course as the inner wall of the extension 123a. When the first housing 11a and the second housing 12a are capped together, the space of the extension 123a is not directly connected to the holding cavity 100, but to the access cavity 101. The extension 123a is provided with an air outlet 120, and the air outlet 120, for example, is provided on the outer side wall of the extension 123a, for example, as part of the outer side wall 122a of the extension 123a is provided with this air outlet 120, connecting to the space of the extension 123a.
The second housing 12a may be provided with a connecting hole 1211a, and the connecting hole 1211a may run through the top wall 121a. In this embodiment, the number of connecting holes 1211a is multiple and the shape may be, for example, circular, oval or square, etc. The connecting hole 1211a is used to connect the access cavity 101 to the holding cavity 100.
The filter assembly includes a first filter 15a and a second filter 16a. The filtration accuracy of the second filter 16a is less than that of the first filter 15a. In other words, the second filter 16a can be used as a coarse filter (primary filter) and the first filter 15a as a fine filter (high efficiency filter). For example, for both the first filter 16a and the second filter 15a, the mesh size of the second filter 16a can be larger than the mesh size of the first filter 15a. For example, the second filler 16a can have 4 holes, the first filter 15a can have 100 holes, the overall size of the second filter 16a and the overall size of the first filter 1.5a are comparable to the size of the connecting holes 1211, so that the size of holes of the second filter 16a is larger than the size of holes of the first filter 15a. Of course, as shown in
The second filter 16a is provided in the second housing 12a and can be located inside the connecting hole 1211a or outside the connecting hole 1211a while covering the connecting hole 1211a. The second filter 16a may be a monolithic and cover a plurality of connecting holes 1211a. The second filter 16a may also be more than one and correspondingly located in each connecting hole 1211a. The first filter 15a can be provided in the space of the extension 123a to cover the air outlet 120 and filter the airflow coining out of the air outlet 120.

Further, the plurality of connecting holes 1211a can increase the area through which the airflow passes and avoid the problem of poor airflow caused by the accumulation of debris in the holding cavityl00.
The second exemplary structure of the dust box 10 described above uses the same construction of the snap assembly 30 as the first exemplary structure of the dust box 10. Of course, the second embodiment of the dust box 10 can also be provided with a snap assembly 30 different from the embodiment, and the different structure of snap assembly 30 is described specifically below.

As shown in
The resilient portion 33a includes, for example, a rotating rod 331a, a torsion spring 332a, and an attachment body 333a, which is fixed to the pressing portion 31a, A torsion spring placement slot (not marked) is opened in the connection body 333a, for example in the central area with the connection body 333a. The rotating rod 331a is set along the length of the connection body 333a through the connection body 333a, specifically through one end of the connection body 333a, the torsion spring placement slot, and the other end of the connection body 333a, while protruding from both ends of the connection body 333a. The torsion spring 332a is provided on the portion of the rotating rod 331a that is located in the torsion spring placement slot. Other springs can be used instead of torsion springs 332a.
The ends of the rotating rod 331a can he set directly rotating in the second housing 12a. The rotating rod 331a may also be provided indirectly rotating in the second housing 12a. For example, as shown in
When the snap rod 32a is accommodated in the bar-holding slot 1212a, the snap portion 321a extends toward the cover 13a, When the pressing portion 31a is pressed in the direction of the bottom wall 111a, the pressing portion 31a rotates along the axis of the rotating rod 331a, and the torsion spring 332a can further undergo elastic deformation, so that the snap portion 321a can be displaced and move in the direction of the bottom wall 111a. When the pressure on the pressing portion 31a disappears, the torsion spring 332a causes the pressed portion 31a to rotate in the opposite direction (relative to the pressed state) due to the elastic return force, driving the snap portion 321a to move in the opposite direction away from the bottom wall 111a.
Snap holes can be provided in the body of the cover 13a corresponding to the location of the snap portion 321a. When the pressing portion 31a is not pressed, the snap portion 321a protrudes out of the snap hole, so that the snap connection can be made. When the pressing portion 31a is pressed and is subjected to pressure in the direction of the bottom wall 111a, the pressing portion 31a is rotated along the axis of the rotation rod 331a in the direction of the bottom wall 111a, causing the snap part 321a to be displaced in the direction of the bottom wall 111a, so that the snap hole of the cover 13a does not protrude out and the snap process is facilitated. As the pressed portion 31a is pressed further and rotated, the snap bar 32a can be limited by the bar-holding slot 1212a, thereby limiting the pressed portion 31a from being pressed and moving further.
The flexible rotating snap assembly 30 makes the snap easy connected and more stable, and its structure is further simplified compared to the previous structure.

The pressing portion 3 lb is formed with a second placement slot 310b, and the shape of the pressing portion 31b is adapted to the shape of the notch 1213b, for example. The opening direction of the second placement slot 310b is opposite to the projection direction of the snap portion 321b. The resilient portion 33b is, for example, a resilient member such as a spring, and one end of the resilient portion 33b extends into the second placement slot 310b and the other end extends into the first placement slot 1110b. When the first housing 11b, second housing 12b and cover 13b are composed together, the other end of the resilient portion 33b is positioned in the first placement slot 1110b to support the pressing portion 31b and the snap portion ,121b. The snap portion 321b corresponds to the snap hole of the cover 13b. The first placement slot 1110b is provided with sliding slots on opposite sides of the wall 112b, and the corresponding sides of the pressing portion 31b are provided with sliding rails, and the sliding rails are embedded in the slots to enable the pressing portion 31b to slide in the first placement slot 1110b.
When the pressing portion 31b is not pressed, the resilient portion 33b is resiliently supported between the first placement slot 1110b and the second placement slot 310b, and the pressing portion 31b is held against the top so that the snap portion 321b can protrude out of the snap hole to allow for a snap connection with the device body when assembled. When the pressing portion 31b is not pressed, the elastic portion 33b is further elastically compressed, and the pressing portion 31b is able to move toward the first housing 113b, such as moving into the first placement slot 1110b, and the snap portion 321b moves away from the cover 13b so that the snap portion 321b does not protrude from the damping hole of the cover 133b, so that it can be unclamped.
By way of example, in one embodiment, a sweeping robot comprises a device body and a dust box assembly 1, the device body is used to clean the floor.
The device body includes a housing, a brush set in the housing, and a drive motor that drives the brush to roll. The device body can be used in conjunction with the dust box assembly 1 of this embodiment, for example, the housing of the device body has a snap slot opened in the housing for snap connection with the snap portion 321 (321a, 321b). When pressure is applied to the pressing portions 31 (31a, 31b), the elastic deformation of the elastic portions 33 (33a, 33b) enables the pressing portions 31 (31a, 31b) to drive the snap portions 321 (321a, 321b) away from the snap slot to enable the snap portions 321 (321a, 321b) to be decoupled from the snap slot. When the pressing portions 31 (31a, 31b) is not pressed, the elastic recovery force of the elastic part 33 (33a, 33b) can cause the pressing portions 31 (31a, 31b) to drive the snap portions 321 (321a, 321b) to move close to the snap slot or remain close to the snap slot, so that the snap portions 321 (321a, 321b) can be snap connected to the snap slot.
This embodiment provides the snap assembly 30 to facilitate the connection of the device body and the dust box assembly. In some embodiments, the snap assembly 30 includes two snap portions 321 (321a), which can make the snap connection between the dust box assembly 1 and the device body of this embodiment tighter and enhance the fixation effect of both structures, and the setting of two snap portions 321 (321a) can further :limit the relative displacement of the dust box 10 and the shell of the device body to ensure the stability of the structure.
The connector 22 of the dust suction assembly 20 of this embodiment can be fixed to the housing of the device body. The good snap effect and limiting effect of the snap assembly 30 prevents the dust box 10 and the device body from shifting so that the sealing effect of the connector 22 and the air outlet 120 can be effectively ensured.
In order to further enhance the speed of airflow and to optimize the structure, this embodiment provides an embodiment of the connector 22 as follows.
