The following classification description is made according to the specific detection of the state type of the dust cup 1 by the detection unit 2:
(I) The method comprises the following steps When the detecting unit 2 is used only for detecting whether the bottom cover 12 of the dust cup 1 is closed, at this time, a sensor, such as a pressure sensor, an ultrasonic ranging sensor, etc., which can detect whether the bottom cover 12 is closed, may be used as a sensor of the detecting unit 2.
In order to improve the accuracy and stability of the detection unit 2, a touch sensor is used as the sensor.
Specifically, the sensor is embedded in the bottom end surface of the cup 11, when the bottom cover 12 is closed, the sensor can be in contact with the sensor, the sensor generates a signal and sends the signal to the control unit 3, the control unit 3 receives the signal data, the control unit 3 controls the motor unit 4 to be started or keeps the motor unit 4 in a starting state (when the dust collector is just started, the control unit 3 starts the motor unit 4, when the dust collector is in a normal working state, the control unit 3 keeps the motor unit 4 in a starting state, and can also be abbreviated as the control unit 3 starts the motor unit 4), and the dust collector works normally; if the bottom cover 12 is in an open state, the sensor does not contact with the bottom cover 12, no signal is generated, the control unit 3 does not receive the signal of the sensor, the control unit 3 does not turn on or off the motor unit 4 (when the dust collector is just started, the control unit 3 does not turn on the motor unit 4, when the dust collector is in a normal working state, the control unit 3 can also be abbreviated as the control unit 3 turns off the motor unit 4), and sends a corresponding instruction to the warning unit 6, the warning unit 6 sends out warning information that the bottom cover 12 is in an open state according to the instruction, so as to prompt a user to close the bottom cover 12, if the dust collector is in a standby state, if the dust collector is in a preset time period, the user closes the bottom cover 12 (detected by the detection unit 2, and the detection in the following standby state is also detected by the detection unit 2 and is not repeated), the control unit 3 turns on the motor unit 4, and when the dust collector starts or continues to work normally, if the standby state exceeds the preset time period, the control unit 3 turns off the power supply unit 5. If the bottom cover 12 is in the closed state all the time, the sensor continuously generates a continuous signal and transmits the signal to the control unit 3 in real time.
The normal operation state of the vacuum cleaner is a state in which both the motor unit 4 and the power supply unit 5 are turned on, the standby state of the vacuum cleaner is a state in which the motor unit 4 is turned off and the power supply unit 5 is turned on, and the off state of the vacuum cleaner is a state in which both the motor unit 4 and the power supply unit 5 are turned off.
In this embodiment, the bottom end surface of the cup 11 is provided with an assembly groove for assembling the detection unit 2, the detection unit 2 is installed in the assembly groove, the sensor is positioned in the notch, the bottom cover 12 can be contacted with the sensor when being closed, specifically, the sensor is provided with an elastic contact end, the sensor is embedded in the assembly groove, the elastic contact end can extend out of the assembly groove and protrude from the bottom end surface of the cup 11, when the bottom cover 12 is closed, the elastic contact end can be pressed to retract into the assembly groove, the sensor generates a signal when the bottom cover 12 presses the elastic contact end and transmits the signal to the control unit 3, and when the bottom cover 12 is always in the closed state, the elastic contact end is always in the pressed state, the sensor generates a continuous signal and transmits the signal to the control unit 3 in real time; when the bottom cover 12 is opened, the elastic contact end protrudes from the fitting groove, protruding from the bottom end surface of the cup 11, at which time the elastic contact end is not pressed, and the sensor does not generate a signal.
When the detecting unit 2 is only used for detecting whether the bottom cover 12 of the dust cup 1 is closed, it is only necessary to provide one detecting unit 2 to detect whether the bottom cover of the dust cup is closed. At this time, the detecting unit 2 may be disposed at an arbitrary position of the bottom end surface of the cup 11 contacting the bottom cover, and in this embodiment, the detecting unit 2 is disposed at the center of the bar portion 112 (in fig. 3 and 4, the detecting unit is disposed at the second bar portion), so that the detection by the detecting unit is more accurate.
It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the elastic contact end is pressed back into the assembly groove, so that the sensor generates a signal, and this is so arranged as to ensure that the sensor generates a signal only when the bottom cover 12 at the position where the sensor is located is fully attached to the bottom end surface of the cup 11.
(II): when the detecting unit 2 is able to detect not only whether the bottom cover 12 of the dust cup 1 is closed, but also whether there is a gap between the bottom cover 12 and the cup 11 (including misalignment between the bottom cover 12 and the cup 11).
At this time, the kind of sensor of the detecting unit 2 is selected the same as that in (I), and the main difference between (II) and (I) is that: the number N of the detection units 2 is more than or equal to 2, the detection units 2 are embedded in different positions of the bottom end face of the cup body 11 and are uniformly distributed at important connection positions of the bottom end face as far as possible so as to detect whether gaps exist between the bottom cover 12 and the bottom end face of the cup body 11, and therefore the bottom leakage of the dust cup 1 is avoided, and the dust collection efficiency of the dust collector is affected.
