The second end 1324 of the ventilation structure 132 may be detachably connected to the first accommodating structure 131, so as to further improve the assembly, disassembly, storage and processing convenience of the first dust collection member 13.

For example, the first accommodating structure 131 includes an accommodating main body 1312 and an extension structure 133 disposed on the outer wall of the accommodating main body 1312, the extension structure 133 encloses to form the third opening 1311, and the second end 1324 of the ventilation structure 132 directly sleeves a periphery of the extension structure 133 to achieve detachable connection.

In some examples, the first accommodating structure 131 may be provided with a pressure sensor 134 and a second conductive part 136 in conductive connection to the pressure sensor 134, and the device main body 11 is provided with a first conductive part 113 matched with the second conductive part 136. The pressure sensor 134 is disposed on the periphery of the third opening 1311, and the second end 1324 of the ventilation structure 132 is movably connected to the first accommodating structure 131, so as to abut against the pressure sensor 134 when the ventilation structure 132 is stressed. After the first accommodating structure 131 is assembled and matched with the device main body 11, the second conductive part 136 and the first conductive part 113 are in conductive connection, so as to achieve the power supply to the pressure sensor 134 and the pressure signal propagation between the pressure sensor 134 and the device main body 11. When the ventilation structure 132 is pulled, the second end 1324 has rotation or movement associated with stress relative to the first accommodating structure 131, so as to abut against the pressure sensor 134. According to the abutting position, the direction of the pulling force can be determined, and according to the direction of the pulling force, the device main body 11 can be controlled to move towards the stress direction, so as to achieve the cleaning of an expected position.

In some examples, the cleaning device 1 further may include a drive module and a movable component in transmission connection to the drive module, and the drive module and the movable component are assembled on the device main body 11, so as to drive the device main body 11 to move.

The above first accommodating structure 131 may include a fifth opening 135, and when the first accommodating structure 131 is assembled on the device main body 11, the fifth opening 135 is aligned and matched with the suction inlet 111 to achieve communication. The fifth opening 135 may be provided with a baffle, and when the cleaning device 1 works, air pulls up the baffle through suction to achieve communication between the suction inlet 111 and the fifth opening 135.

In some examples, the above ventilation structure 132 may include at least one deformation section, and when the deformation section changes in form, an air flue path of the ventilation structure 132 changes accordingly. The deformation section can use its own deformation properties to change the air flue path of the ventilation structure 132 and the structure of the ventilation structure 132, and the use flexibility and convenience of the ventilation structure 132 for dust collection and cleaning at different positions are improved.

The deformation section may be a corrugated pipe, and the corrugated pipe can change the structure of the deformation section by folding or unfolding between adjacent corrugated structures, making the deformation section bend. Or, the deformation section is made of a flexible material, and the soft property of the flexible material can be used to change the structure of the deformation section, making the deformation section bend.

In the above examples, a part of the section of the ventilation structure 132 is the deformation section, or the whole ventilation structure 132 may be the deformation section. When the part of the section of the ventilation structure 132 is the deformation section, the deformation section may be located in the middle or end portion of the ventilation structure 132.

Through the relative motion of the adjacent extend-retract sections, the ventilation structure 132 can retract in length when the extend-retract sections coincide with each other, and be unfolded in a length direction when the extend-retract sections are stretched open. In the first use state, the extend-retract sections are stretched open, the first section 1321 of the ventilation structure 132 extends to the outside of the device main body 11, and the cleaning convenience of the ventilation structure 132 is improved. In the second use state, the extend-retract sections coincide with each other, and the ventilation structure 132 retracts into the device main body 11, so as to conveniently store the ventilation structure 132.

For example, when the second dust collection member 12 is required for work, the second accommodating structure 121 is separately detachably assembled on the installation space 112. For another example, when the first dust collection member 13 is required for work, the first accommodating structure 131 is separately detachably assembled on the installation space 112. Or, the second accommodating structure 121 and the first accommodating structure 131 are both detachably assembled on the installation space 112. When the second accommodating structure 121 and the first accommodating structure 131 are both detachably assembled on the installation space 112, the ventilation structure 132 may have the above first use state and the second use state, such that the ventilation structure 132 is convenient to use and store.

In some examples, the second accommodating structure 121 and the first accommodating structure 131 may be the same dust collection structure enclosing the same space, and the dust collection structure may have features of the second accommodating structure 121 and the first accommodating structure 131, so as to have the dust collection function of the second dust collection member 12 and the first dust collection member 13.

For example, the bottom of the device main body 11 can be oriented towards the ground, and the device main body 11 can move on the ground to achieve cleaning of different positions on the ground.

In some examples, the device main body 11 is provided with a first opening 141, and when the first dust collection member 13 is assembled on the device main body 11, the ventilation structure 132 is aligned and matched with the first opening 141. The first opening 141 allows the ventilation structure 132 to extend out of the device main body 11 after being connected to the first accommodating structure 131.

The above first opening 141 may be disposed at a top of the device main body 11, so as to increase the movement range of the ventilation structure 132 and improve the cleaning range. In other examples, the first opening 141 may also be disposed at other positions such as a side face of the device main body 11, which is not restricted by the disclosure.

In the above examples, the cleaning device 1 may further include a plugging structure, and when the second dust collection member 12 is assembled on the device main body 11, the plugging structure is detachably assembled on the first opening 141.

When the second dust collection member 12 is used, the first dust collection member 13 is removed from the device main body 11, and the plugging structure is used to plug the first opening 141 to improve the overall aesthetics of the cleaning device 1.

Or, the cleaning device 1 further includes the cover body 14, and when the second dust collection member 12 is assembled on the device main body 11, the cover body 14 is detachably assembled on the device main body 11 and covers the first opening 141. When the first dust collection member 13 is used, the cover body 14 can be removed, such that the first opening 141 is exposed to facilitate the extension of the ventilation structure 132. When the first dust collection member 13 is not in use, the cover body 14 can be installed to improve the overall aesthetics of the cleaning device 1.

When the ventilation structure 132 is pulled, a second end 1324 has rotation or movement associated with stress relative to the first accommodating structure 131, so as to abut against the pressure sensor 134. According to the abutting position, the direction of the pulling force can be determined, and according to the direction of the pulling force, the device main body 11 can be controlled to move towards the stress direction, so as to achieve the cleaning of an expected position.
