Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The invention relates to a dust suction device, and particularly to a dust suction device with a storage state.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Patents such as Chinese Patent Nos. CN 103961025A, WO 2020011238A, CN 110811414A, CN 111588306A, CN 211933876U and CN 209404622U disclose the technique for storing a dust suction device.

Taking Chinese Patent No. CN 103961025A as an example, Chinese Patent No. CN 103961025A describes that the main structure of the dust suction device comprises a dust collection barrel and a body element, the body element has a head housing stacked on the dust collection barrel, a motor disposed in the head housing, a filter element located in the dust collection barrel, and a quick-installation structure disposed on the head housing, the quick-installation structure enables the dust suction device to switch between a first state and a second state. Wherein, in the second state, the filter element is connected to the head housing, and the head housing is stacked above the dust collection barrel through the quick-installation structure, so that the dust suction device can perform a dust suction operation; in the first state, the filter element is removed from the head housing, and is independently placed in the dust collection barrel relative to the head housing, and the head housing is suspended on the opening of the dust collection barrel in an upside down posture through the quick-installation structure, so that the head housing is accommodated in the dust collection barrel. However, when the conventional dust suction device enters the first state, the head housing and the motor will be suspended on the opening of the dust collection barrel at the same time, causing the quick-installation structure to bear a considerable weight. When the structural stability of the quick-installation structure is insufficient, it is easy to cause the head housing to collide with the filter element accommodated in the dust collection barrel. Furthermore, the storage method of the conventional dust suction device is likely to make some components on the head housing still expose outside the dust collection barrel, resulting in the head housing cannot be completely accommodated.

In addition, the at least two connectors 13 is to provide assembly. The at least two connectors 13 are disposed adjacent to the assembling opening 12. Adjacent disposition means that the at least two connectors 13 are located on a side of the surface of the dust collection barrel 10 close to the assembling opening 12, and the at least two connectors 13 are in positions that provide assembly. The invention does not specifically limit disposed positions of the at least two connectors 13. Moreover, the supporting ring 30 is an independent component relative to the dust collection barrel 10, the supporting ring 30 is optionally disposed on the dust collection barrel 10, and is separately disposed on the dust collection barrel 10. The supporting ring 30 has a ring inner diameter 31 and a ring outer diameter 32, the ring inner diameter 31 is larger than the opening diameter 121, so that when the supporting ring 30 is assembled with the dust collection barrel 10, the supporting ring 30 is assembled on the at least one shell top edge 101, and is placed at the assembling opening 12. Furthermore, the dust suction assembly 50 comprises a shell 51, and at least two connecting structures 53 formed on an outer surface of the shell 51. The shell 51 is optionally assembled with the supporting ring 30, when the shell 51 is connected with the supporting ring 30, the shell 51 is positioned above the dust collection barrel 10; when the shell 51 is separated from the supporting ring 30, the shell 51 is removed from the dust collection barrel 10. The at least two connecting structures 53 correspond to the at least two connectors 13, and the at least two connecting structures 53 are provided for assembling with the at least two connectors 13 to restrict the dust suction assembly 50 from separating from the dust collection barrel 10 when in use. Further, the shell 51 has at least one shell outer diameter 511, and the at least one shell outer diameter 511 is smaller than the opening diameter 121 but larger than the ring inner diameter 31. In one embodiment, when the shell outer diameter 511 is a constant, it means that the shell 51 has no change in outer diameter. In another embodiment, when a plurality of shell outer diameters 511 are provided, it means that the shell 51 has changes in outer diameter, and each of the plurality of shell outer diameters 511 is smaller than the opening diameter 121, but larger than the ring inner diameter 31.

Please refer to FIG. 5, FIG. 6, FIG. 7, and FIG. 8, the dust suction assembly 50 has a use state located above the dust collection barrel 10, and a storage state placed in the barrel inner space 11.
