The Type-C port in car vacuum cleaners primarily serves charging, power delivery, functional expansion, and design optimization.
Charging Function Application
Versatility and Convenience: The reversible plug design of the Type-C port simplifies charging operations. Users can quickly insert it without distinguishing orientation, eliminating the hassle of repeated attempts with traditional ports. Its compatibility allows sharing chargers with devices like smartphones and tablets, reducing the burden of carrying multiple charging cables when traveling. For example, the GreenConnect car vacuum comes with a standard A-to-C charging cable, allowing users to charge it directly using their phone charger. Tested charging power is approximately 18W, with a charging time of about 2 hours.
Fast Charging Support: Some premium car vacuum cleaners support the USB Power Delivery (USB PD) protocol for rapid charging. For instance, the Baseus A3 car vacuum cleaner supports the QC3.0 fast charging protocol. When using the original 65W charger, it reaches 50% charge in 53 minutes and fully charges in 2 hours and 2 minutes, significantly reducing charging time.
Power Supply Function Applications
Unrestricted by Vehicle Power: Wireless design combined with Type-C charging allows car vacuums to extend beyond vehicle use to home, office, and other scenarios. For instance, the Shunzao Z1 Pro High-Suction Edition is designed for deep cleaning inside vehicles while also cleaning home surfaces like sofa crevices and keyboards. Emergency Charging Capability: The Type-C port supports bidirectional charging. Certain devices (like phones with reverse charging) can provide emergency power to the vacuum, enhancing its endurance.
Functional Expansion Applications
Multi-Interface Compatibility: Via the Type-C port, car vacuums can connect to docking stations or adapters for expanded functionality. For example, the Monkey Blower-Vacuum combo powers via Type-C to switch to air-blowing mode, cleaning hard-to-reach areas like AC vents and keyboard crevices. Its included swim ring nozzle can inflate/deflate swim rings while simultaneously blowing air from both sides into gaps, boosting cleaning efficiency. Data Transfer Potential: While primarily relying on physical cleaning functions, the Type-C port reserves a technical pathway for potential future data interactions, such as firmware upgrades and cleaning history synchronization.
Design Optimization ApplicationsCompact Structure: The Type-C port's small size contributes to a slimmer, lighter overall vacuum design. For example, the Yangzi Wireless Car Vacuum weighs only 0.5kg, enabling effortless one-handed operation and easy storage in door pockets or cup holders. Enhanced Durability: The symmetrical Type-C port design requires moderate insertion force, reducing wear from frequent plugging and unplugging to extend device lifespan.
