Abstract
A base includes a housing having a cleaning cavity for docking a cleaner and a dust suction assembly arranged outside the cleaning cavity. The dust suction assembly includes a dust collection port configured to be in communication with the cleaner, and an air return port configured to be in communication with the cleaner. The dust suction assembly is configured to suck dust from the cleaner through the dust collection port and guide gas to the cleaner through the air return port.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 .- 10 . (canceled)
11 . A base comprising:
a housing having a cleaning cavity for docking a cleaner; and a dust suction assembly arranged outside the cleaning cavity and including:
a dust collection port configured to be in communication with the cleaner; and
an air return port configured to be in communication with the cleaner;
wherein the dust suction assembly is configured to suck dust from the cleaner through the dust collection port and guide gas to the cleaner through the air return port.
12 . The base according to claim 11 , wherein the dust suction assembly includes:
an intake passage, one end of the intake passage including the dust collection port; a dust collector connected to another end of the intake passage to filter the dust introduced from the dust collection port; and an exhaust passage, one end of the exhaust passage being connected to the dust collector, another end of the exhaust passage including the air return port, and the exhaust passage being configured to guide the gas filtered by the dust collector to the cleaner.
13 . The base according to claim 12 , wherein the dust collection port is closer to the dust collector than the air return port.
14 . The base according to claim 13 , wherein a front end of the cleaning cavity is provided with an opening, the dust collection port and the air return port are arranged at a left side and a right side, respectively, of a rear end of the cleaning cavity, the dust collector is arranged at a right end of the cleaning cavity, and the exhaust passage extends from the rear end of the cleaning cavity to the right end of the cleaning cavity and is connected to the dust collector.
15 . The base according to claim 14 , wherein the intake passage is located between the cleaning cavity and the dust collector in a left-right direction.
16 . The base according to claim 15 , wherein a distance between the dust collection port and the air return port in the left-right direction is greater than 0.5 times a dimension of the cleaning cavity in the left-right direction.
17 . The base according to claim 16 , wherein the dust collector includes:
a dust collection box connected to the another end of the intake passage; and a drive member, one end of the drive member being connected to the dust collection box, another end of the drive member being connected to the one end of the exhaust passage, and the drive member being configured to guide gas flow to flow from the dust collection port to the air return port.
18 . The base according to claim 15 , wherein the dust collector includes:
a dust collection box connected to the another end of the intake passage; and a drive member, one end of the drive member being connected to the dust collection box, another end of the drive member being connected to the one end of the exhaust passage, and the drive member being configured to guide gas flow to flow from the dust collection port to the air return port.
19 . The base according to claim 14 , wherein the dust collector includes:
a dust collection box connected to the another end of the intake passage; and a drive member, one end of the drive member being connected to the dust collection box, another end of the drive member being connected to the one end of the exhaust passage, and the drive member being configured to guide gas flow to flow from the dust collection port to the air return port.
20 . The base according to claim 13 , wherein the dust collector includes:
a dust collection box connected to the another end of the intake passage; and a drive member, one end of the drive member being connected to the dust collection box, another end of the drive member being connected to the one end of the exhaust passage, and the drive member being configured to guide gas flow to flow from the dust collection port to the air return port.
21 . The base according to claim 12 , wherein the dust collector includes:
a dust collection box connected to the another end of the intake passage; and a drive member, one end of the drive member being connected to the dust collection box, another end of the drive member being connected to the one end of the exhaust passage, and the drive member being configured to guide gas flow to flow from the dust collection port to the air return port.
22 . The base according to claim 21 , wherein the dust collection box includes:
a box body having a first cavity, a front end of the first cavity being provided with an opening; a drawer having a second cavity in communication with the dust collection port, the air return port being arranged inside the drawer, and the drawer being arranged in the first cavity and movable in translation along a front-rear direction; and a filter member arranged in the second cavity to filter the gas passing through the second cavity.
23 . The base according to claim 22 , wherein the drive member includes:
a power supply arranged above the dust collection box; and a dust collection motor, a front end of the dust collection motor being connected to the dust collection box, and a rear end of the dust collection motor being connected to the exhaust passage.
24 . The base according to claim 12 , wherein a length of the intake passage is less than a length of the exhaust passage.
