The dust-collecting cup connecting member (2) comprises a first cavity (21), a second cavity (22), and an air duct (23) connecting the first cavity (21) and the second cavity (22).

[0030] The dust-collecting cups (3) comprise a first dust-collecting cup (31) and a second dust-collecting cup (32). The first dust-collecting cup (31) is connected to the first cavity (21), and the second dust-collecting cup (32) is connected to the second cavity (22). The separator comprises a first separator (11) and a second separator (12), the first separator (11) is arranged in the first cavity (21), and the second separator (12) is arranged in the second cavity (22). The first separator (11) comprises an inverted cone filter (111), the shape of the inverted cone filter is an inverted cone, and the surface of the inverted cone filter comprises a filtering surface and a non-filtering surface. The filtering surface (1111) of the inverted cone filter (111) is in communication with the air duct (23). Garbage and sewage mixed together may be introduced into the first dust-collecting cup (31) first. Then, the mixed garbage and sewage may be rotated at a high speed in the first dust-collecting cup (31). Due to the friction with the wall of the first dust-collecting cup (31), the energy of large-particle garbage may be reduced, and finally, the large-particle garbage may slide down along the wall of the first dust-collecting cup (31). Other garbage having small energy loss may be filtered via the filtering surface (1111) of the inverted cone filter (111) and may enter the second dust-collecting cup (32) through the air duct (23).

[0031] FIG. 2 is a cut-away schematic view in another direction of an inverted cone separation device with double dust-collecting cups according to the embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, the inverted cone separation device with double dust-collecting cups further comprises a housing (6), a partition supporting member (4), and a separator driving device (5); the housing (6), the partition supporting member (4), and the separator driving device (5) are sequentially arranged above the dust-collecting cup connecting member (2). A supporting part is provided on the outer wall of the partition supporting member (4), and the supporting part is located outside the dust-collecting cups (3). The separator driving device (5) comprises a motor (51) and a transmission assembly, the motor (51) is arranged on the supporting part, one end of the transmission assembly is connected with the output shaft (511) of the motor (51), and the other end of the transmission assembly is connected with the second separator (12). The separator driving device is configured to directly drive the second separator (12) to rotate, thereby effectively improving the effect of dust removal and liquid separation, and preventing the suctioned turbid gas from being discharged from the cleaner and resulting in secondary pollution when the power is turned on. The motor (51) of the separator driving device (5) is arranged outside the dust-collecting cups (3) to prevent the motor from being stained and damaged. The inverted cone separation device with double dust-collecting cups has improved stability and is easy to clean. Further, the overall height of the cleaner is reduced to facilitate the cleaning of the bottom of the furniture.

[0032] Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the transmission assembly comprises a driving belt (52) and a rotating shaft (53), one end of the driving belt (52) is connected with the output shaft (511) of the motor (51), the other end of the driving belt (52) is connected with the rotating shaft (53), and the rotating shaft (53) is connected with the second separator (12). The driving belt (52) which is used as the main transmission component may effectively reduce the shaking amplitude of the second separator (12) when rotating, increase the stability of the separator driving device (5), improve the separation efficiency, and extend the service life of the second separator (12) and the separator driving device.

[0033] The sidewall of the first dust-collecting cup (31) is provided with an air inlet (33) to allow external fluid to enter in, and the housing (6) is provided with an air outlet for discharging clean air, and the air outlet is in communication with the second dust-collecting cup (32). With this structure, the large-particle garbage remains in the first dust-collecting cup (31) after being separated by the first separator (11). Therefore, the separation effect of large-particle garbage is improved, and the entanglement of large-particle garbage in the dust-collecting cup due to high-speed rotation is avoided.

[0034] The shape of the second separator (12) is any one or combination of a positive cone, an inverted cone, a straight cylinder, and/or a flat shape, the second separator (12) is provided with a passage for airflow.

The end of the positive cone separator with a larger diameter is closer to the air duct (23).

[0036] In one embodiment, the shape of the second separator (12) is an inverted cone, wherein the structure of the second separator is similar to the positive cone separator. The difference is that the diameter of the top plate is larger than the diameter of the bottom plate, that is, the end of the inverted cone separator with a smaller diameter is closer to the air duct (23).

[0037] In one embodiment, the shape of the second separator (12) is a straight cylinder, wherein the structure of the second separator is similar to the inverted cone separator. The difference is that the main body of the straight cylinder separator is cylindrical, that is, the diameters of the two ends of the second separator (12) are equal.

[0038] The air duct (23) comprises an air duct air inlet and an air duct air outlet, and the height of the air duct air outlet is lower than the height of the air duct air inlet to prevent sewage from flowing backward after entering the air duct (23). The air duct air outlet is close to the second separator (12).

[0039] The air duct (23) is formed as a straight line inclined from the first cavity (21) to the second cavity (22). It reduces the resistance that the sewage and air to be separated and purified are subjected when travelling in the air duct (23) after the large-particle garbage is separated, and improves the separation efficiency.

[0040] FIG. 4 is a structural diagram of a dust collecting cup connecting member according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 4, a baffle (231) is provided above the air duct air outlet. When sewage to be separated and purified enters the second cavity (22) from the air duct air outlet, it has high speed.

The dust-collecting cups (3) comprise a first dust-collecting cup (31) and a second dust-collecting cup (32), the first dust-collecting cup (31) is connected to the first cavity (21), and the second dust-collecting cup (32) is connected to the second cavity (22); the separator comprises a first separator (11) and a second separator (12), the first separator (11) is arranged in the first cavity (21), and the second separator (12) is arranged in the second cavity (22); the first separator (11) comprises an inverted cone filter (111), the shape of the inverted cone filter is an inverted cone, the surface of the inverted cone filter comprises a filtering surface and a non-filtering surface; the filtering surface (1111) of the inverted cone filter (111) is in communication with the air duct (23).

[0044] With the above structure in which the first dust-collecting cup (31) and the second dust-collecting cup (32) are communicated through the air duct (23), the overall height of the cleaner is reduced. The first separator (11) comprises an inverted cone filter (111), the shape of the inverted cone filter is an inverted cone, and the surface of the inverted cone filter includes a filtering surface and a non-filtering surface. The filtering surface (1111) of the inverted cone filter (111) is in communication with the air duct (23) to ensure the separation effect of large-particle garbage, effectively prevent large-particle garbage from entangling and blocking in the dust-collecting cup, and improve the efficiency of dust collection.
