Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of cleaning, in particular to a base station and a cleaning system. BACKGROUND

[0002] The dry cleaning module of the existing household cleaning equipment includes a rolling brush, a dust box and a main air blower. The two ends of the rolling brush are rotatably arranged in a rolling brush cavity at the bottom of the body of the cleaning equipment. The rolling brush cavity is in communication with the dust inlet of the dust box. Under the action of the negative pressure generated by the main air blower, the garbage swept by the rolling brush is sucked into the dust box through the dust inlet of the dust box.

[0003] During the cleaning process of the cleaning equipment, after the airflow enters the air duct of the dust box, the garbage carried by the airflow is intercepted by the filter in the air duct of the dust box, and the filtered airflow is discharged from the dust box. After long-term use, the filter will have a lot of garbage attached, which will affect the filtering effect on the one hand, and the user needs to manually clean the garbage on the filter or replace a new filter, resulting in poor user experience.

[0081] In combination withFigure 1 and Figure 7 As shown in

[0082] The cleaning system of the present application comprises a cleaning device 10 and a base station 800.

[0083] The cleaning device 10 can be a self-moving cleaning robot or a hand-held scrubber. The cleaning device can be a dry-wet dual-purpose cleaning robot, for example, a mopping robot or a sweeping-mopping robot. Hereinafter, the cleaning device will be taken as a sweeping-mopping robot for illustration.

[0084] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 In addition to the wet cleaning module, the cleaning device 100 further comprises a dry cleaning module. In the advancing direction of the body 110 (e.g., the front direction as indicated by the arrow in Figure 1 The dry cleaning module is located in front of the wet cleaning module, and the dry cleaning module is used for sweeping the ground, while the wet cleaning module is used for wet mopping the swept ground, i.e., the wet cleaning module, thereby forming a sweeping-mopping mode for cleaning the surface to be cleaned.

[0085] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 The cleaning device further comprises a side brush 400, which is located in front of the dry cleaning module 200 in the advancing direction of the body 100 and can rotate by itself to gather the garbage on the ground to the inner side of the cleaning device. In this way, the dry cleaning module 200 can collect the garbage gathered to the inner side of the cleaning device into the dust box 202 in the body 100 by suction or the like.

[0086] For example, the side brush 400 can be located in front of the dry cleaning module 200 and close to the edge of the body 100, for example, the side brush 400 can be located at the edge including but not limited to the front left of the dry cleaning module 200, the front right, etc., so that at least part of the side brush 400 is located outside the contour of the body 100 when the side brush 400 rotates by itself. In this way, the side brush 400 can gather the garbage outside the contour of the body 100 to the inner side of the cleaning device, thereby increasing the cleaning range. The side brush 400 can be a rubber strip or a brush, etc., as long as it can sweep the ground, which is not limited here.

[0087] The body 100 is generally formed in a circular shape, a D shape, a rectangular shape, etc. The body profile refers to the circular profile, the D-shaped profile, or the rectangular profile of the body 100, etc. For example, in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the profile of the body 100 is a circular structure. For example, the range of the profile of the body 100 can be determined according to the projection of the body 100 on the horizontal plane.

[0088] For the body 100, the body 100 generally includes at least a chassis 101 and an upper shell connected to the chassis 101. The inner cavity of the body 100 is formed between the chassis 101 and the upper shell to form a containing cavity.

[0089] In some embodiments, please continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the dry cleaning module 200 at least includes a roller brush 201, a dust box 202, and a main air blower 203. The roller brush 201 is rotatably arranged in a roller brush cavity 205 on the bottom of the chassis 101, so that the cleaning device sweeps the garbage on the ground in the direction of travel. The roller brush 201 can be one or two roller brushes 201. The dust box 202 and the main air blower 203 are arranged in the inner cavity of the body 100, respectively. The main air blower 203 is configured to provide negative pressure air to the dust box 202. The body 100 is provided with a dust suction port 103 in communication with the dust box 202, for example, as shown in Figure 10 , the dust box cavity 204 is arranged in the body. The dust suction port 103 is arranged on the chassis 101 of the body where the dust box cavity 204 is located. The dust box 202 is arranged in the dust box cavity 204. One end of the dust suction port 103 is in communication with the roller brush cavity 205, and the other end is in communication with the inner cavity of the dust box. In this way, the roller brush 201 is used to gather the garbage on the ground to the dust suction port 103. The negative pressure suction force can collect the garbage and dust particles into the inner cavity of the dust box 202 through the dust suction port 103 to achieve the purpose of sweeping the ground. The main air blower 203 includes but is not limited to a negative pressure air blower, and can be replaced by other negative pressure generating devices, such as a vacuum pump.

[0090] The robot further includes a walking system for driving the body 100 to move. The walking system at least includes a drive and a drive wheel 700. The drive drives the drive wheel 700 to move. The drive wheel 700 can generally be two. The two drive wheels 700 are symmetrically arranged on the bottom of the body 100. In addition, the walking system is swingably arranged on the body 100, so that the cleaning device 10 has an obstacle crossing function during walking. The surface to be cleaned can be but is not limited to the surface of an object or scene such as the ground, the desktop, the glass, the wall, etc. For convenience of description, the surface to be cleaned is described below taking the ground as an example.

[0091] The perception system includes LDS located above the body 100, bumper and visual sensor located at the front of the body 100, edge sensor located at the front side wall of the body 100, ultrasonic sensor, downward-looking sensor and other sensing devices located at the bottom of the body 100. Among them, the LDS, bumper and edge sensor can measure the distance to obtain the distance between the edge of the body 100 and the obstacle, and the control system controls the cleaning equipment 10 to perform corresponding actions according to the distance. For example, the cleaning equipment 10 avoids obstacles, follows edges, etc. The ultrasonic sensor is used to identify the carpet signal, and the control system controls the main cleaning assembly 310 of the cleaning equipment 10 to perform lifting action, the auxiliary cleaning assembly 510 to perform lifting action, or controls the cleaning equipment 10 to return to the base station, charges the robot, collects dust, cleans the main cleaning component 310, and performs other actions such as disassembly and installation. The visual sensor is used to identify the image of the environment where the cleaning equipment 10 is located to obtain the information of the obstacle, and the control system controls the cleaning equipment 10 to perform actions such as obstacle avoidance, obstacle crossing, edge cleaning, etc. according to the information.

[0092] The cleaning equipment 10 further includes a water replenishing structure for replenishing water to the aforementioned cleaning component to wet the cleaning component, so that the cloth is in a wet or damp state to wipe the ground, forming wet cleaning to improve the cleaning effect. The water replenishing structure at least includes a water tank 600, and a conveying mechanism for conveying water in the water tank 600 to the cleaning component. The cleaning component is in a wet or damp state to wipe the ground, forming wet cleaning to improve the cleaning effect.

[0093] In the embodiments of the present application, if the "water replenishing" object is the water tank 600 of the cleaning equipment, the "water replenishing" means replenishing cleaning liquid into the water tank 600. If the "water replenishing" object is the cleaning assembly (including the main cleaning assembly 310 and the auxiliary cleaning assembly 510), the "water replenishing" means applying cleaning liquid to the corresponding cleaning component to wet the cleaning component. For example, replenishing water for the main cleaning assembly 310 means providing liquid to the main cloth 311 (i.e. one of the main cleaning components) in the main cleaning assembly 310 to wet the main cloth 311.

[0094] In one embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 The aforementioned dry cleaning module includes a main cleaning module and an auxiliary cleaning module. Without limitation, the main cleaning assembly 310 does not swing relative to the body 100, and there is no need to set a swinging structure in the body 100 to drive the main cleaning assembly 310 to swing, so that the driving structure of the main cleaning assembly 310 only needs to set driving the main cleaning assembly 310 to lift and wipe the ground. For example, the wiping motion can be the rotation of the main cleaning disc, the reciprocating vibration or torsion of the flat mop.

[0095] The auxiliary cleaning component 510 can swing relative to the body 100 to switch between at least an initial position A and an edge-side position C. In the edge-side position C, at least a portion of the auxiliary cleaning component 510 extends beyond the edge of the body 100 at its maximum width to perform edge-side cleaning of obstacles or walls, etc. In the initial position A, the auxiliary cleaning component 510 can be located within the maximum projection of the edge of the body 100, or at least a portion of the auxiliary cleaning component 510 can be located outside the edge of the body 100.

[0096] When the auxiliary cleaning component 510 is in its initial position, it is located behind the drive wheel and at the side edge of the main cleaning component.

[0097] The auxiliary cleaning component 510 has a smaller area than the main cleaning component 310. For example, the area of ​​the auxiliary cleaning component 510 may be less than three-quarters, or less than half, or less than one-third, one-quarter, or one-fifth of the area of ​​the main cleaning component 310, etc. The size relationship between the two can be selected according to the needs, thereby driving the swinging, lifting, and mopping movements of the auxiliary cleaning component 510. It requires little swing space and is suitable for all models currently on the market, such as disc mops and flat mops.

[0098] For example, the auxiliary cleaning assembly 510 includes an auxiliary cleaning tray 512 and an auxiliary cleaning component, and the main cleaning assembly 310 includes a mounting base 312 and a main cleaning component. Exemplarily, the main cleaning component may refer to... Figure 2 The main cleaning cloth 311 is shown. The area relationship described above is as follows: In one embodiment, the areas of the auxiliary cleaning tray 512 and the mounting base 312 can be compared; for example, the area of ​​the auxiliary cleaning tray 512 is smaller than the area of ​​the mounting base 312. In another embodiment, the areas of the auxiliary cleaning component and the main cleaning component can be compared; for example, the area of ​​the auxiliary cleaning component is smaller than the area of ​​the main cleaning component. That is, when both the main cleaning component and the auxiliary cleaning component are cleaning cloths, the main cleaning component forms a large cleaning cloth, and the auxiliary cleaning component forms a small cleaning cloth. In non-edge-side mode, the large cleaning cloth is primarily used for cleaning; in edge-side position C, the small cleaning cloth is used. The main cleaning component and the auxiliary cleaning component work together to achieve the function of cleaning the floor.

[0099] By retracting and swinging outwards, the auxiliary cleaning component 510 can switch between the edge position C and the initial position A, and perform edge cleaning at the edge position C. At the same time, the main cleaning component 310 does not need to swing as a whole, so the structure of the entire cleaning module is simple and compact, occupies little space, and facilitates the miniaturization of the robot.

[0100] In some embodiments, the auxiliary cleaning module 500 further includes a first drive structure 520 for driving the auxiliary cleaning component 510 to swing between an initial position A and an edge position C.

[0101] For example, the first driving structure 520 comprises a first driving motor, a swing arm 524 and at least one first elastic member 522. Under the cooperation of the first driving motor 521 and the first elastic member 522, the swing arm 524 is driven to swing to drive the auxiliary cleaning assembly 510 to swing to switch between the along-side position C and the initial position A.

[0102] Since the swing arm 524 and the auxiliary cleaning assembly 510 swing synchronously, the aforementioned initial position A and along-side position C can also be said that the swing arm 524 has the initial position A and the along-side position C.

[0103] The aforementioned main cleaning assembly 300 and auxiliary cleaning assembly 500 are both arranged at the rear of the machine body 100, the side brush 400 is arranged at the front of the machine body 100, and in the advancing direction of the machine body 100, the side brush 400 and the auxiliary cleaning assembly 500 are both distributed on the same side of the machine body 100. For example, they are both distributed on the right side of the machine body 100 to form a right along-side, or they are both located on the left side of the machine body 100 to form a left along-side.

[0104] In the advancing direction of the machine body 100, the main cleaning assembly 310 and the auxiliary cleaning assembly 510 are located behind the roller brush 201, which facilitates the implementation of the dry sweeping first and wet mopping later cleaning operation of the cleaning device, and also facilitates the layout of the internal space of the machine body 100.

[0105] The cleaning device 10 further comprises a second driving structure 340 arranged on the machine body 100 and used for driving the main cleaning assembly 310 to move to mop the floor, and a first lifting structure 330 used for driving the cleaning assembly to move up and down to make the main cleaning assembly 310 be in a mopping position or a lifting position.

[0106] Alternatively, as a variation, the wet cleaning assembly can comprise a main cleaning assembly and not be provided with an auxiliary cleaning assembly, and the main auxiliary cleaning assembly 500 comprises two main cleaning assemblies, one of which can swing outward relative to the machine body and has an initial position and an along-side position, and the other of which cannot swing relative to the machine body. For example, the main cleaning assembly comprises a cleaning disc and a cleaning cloth arranged on the bottom of the cleaning disc, and the cleaning cloth is driven to rotate to mop the floor by the self-rotation of the cleaning disc.

[0107] As a variation, the cleaning device can also not be provided with a wet cleaning assembly and only be provided with a dry cleaning assembly.

[0108] The base station comprises a cleaning tank having an opening, and the cleaning device enters the cleaning tank through the opening.

[0109] After the cleaning device stops in the cleaning tank through the opening, the base station can clean the main cleaning component and the auxiliary cleaning component of the cleaning device, supply water to the fresh water tank, charge the energy storage unit of the cleaning device, and perform dust collection operation to remove the garbage in the dust box, so that the cleaning device can perform cleaning work better next time.

[0110] On the basis of the foregoing, for the convenience of description, the present application takes the cleaning device including the main cleaning module and the auxiliary cleaning module as an example, and the main cleaning component is a flat mop.

[0111] In some embodiments, after the cleaning device enters the cleaning tank, the auxiliary cleaning component is in the initial position.

[0112] The base station further includes a cleaning module movably arranged in the cleaning tank. When the cleaning module moves, it can scrape off the dirt on the bottom of the main cleaning component and the auxiliary cleaning component, thereby achieving cleaning of the main cleaning component and the auxiliary cleaning component. Here, the cleaning includes dry cleaning or wet cleaning.

[0113] The main cleaning component 310 and the auxiliary cleaning component 510 are wetted by introducing liquid into the cleaning tank, and wet cleaning is performed. Relatively speaking, the cleaning effect of wet cleaning is better.

[0114] The auxiliary cleaning component can refer to Figure 3 The auxiliary cleaning component 511 shown.

[0115] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the embodiments of the present application more obvious and easy to understand, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative labor are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0116] Embodiment 1

[0117] On the basis of the foregoing, the conclusion Figures 7 to 20 The base station 800 of the present embodiment is described.

[0118] As Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, this embodiment provides a base station, which includes a base station body 801 and a dust collection module 840. The base station body 801 includes a cleaning tank 802 with an opening 804. The cleaning device 10 enters the cleaning tank 802 through the opening 804. The dust collection module 840 includes a dust collection fan 841. The inner wall 803 of the cleaning tank 802 opposite to the opening 804 has a dust collection port 811 and a first air outlet 812. The dust collection port 811 can be connected to the second dust outlet 113 on the body 100 of the cleaning device 10, and the first air outlet 812 can be connected to the first dust outlet 113 on the body 100. The second exhaust vent 114 is connected; under the action of the dust collection fan 841, the garbage in the dust box 202 of the cleaning equipment 10 enters the base station's air duct through the second exhaust vent 113 and the dust collection vent 811 in sequence with the airflow. The airflow then flows out of the base station's air duct at least through the first exhaust vent 812. The airflow from the first exhaust vent 812 is blown through the second exhaust vent 114 towards the first filter element 108 of the cleaning equipment 10, so as to blow the garbage on the first filter element 108 into the dust box 202; wherein, when the cleaning equipment 10 is cleaning the surface to be cleaned, the first filter element 108 is used to filter the garbage flowing from the dust inlet 2021 of the dust box 202 to the second exhaust vent 114 (e.g. Figure 3 The airflow (as shown in the figure).

[0119] The second dust outlet 113 is connected to the first dust outlet 2022 of the dust box 202. After the dust collection fan 841 is running, the main fan 203 of the cleaning equipment 10 stops running. The garbage in the dust box 202 can be drawn out of the first dust outlet 2022 and enter the dust collection port 811 of the base station through the second dust outlet 113, thereby realizing the self-cleaning of the garbage in the dust box 202 of the cleaning equipment 10.

[0120] like Figure 4 As shown, the cleaning equipment 10 has a dust discharge channel 107 inside. The first dust discharge port 2022 is connected to the inlet of the dust discharge channel 107, and the second dust discharge port 113 is located on the outer side wall of the body 100. The second dust discharge port 113 can serve as the outlet of the dust discharge channel 107.

[0121] After the cleaning equipment 10 returns to the base station, the main fan 203 of the cleaning equipment 10 stops working. Utilizing the negative pressure suction provided by the dust collection fan 841, it can not only draw the debris in the dust box 202 into the base station through the second dust outlet 113 and the dust collection port 811; during the dust collection process, the airflow from the exhaust end of the dust collection fan 841 can also be sequentially directed through the first air outlet 812 (e.g., ...). Figure 7 (as shown) and the second air vent 114 (as shown) Figure 3The air flow in the dust box 202 is reversed to blow against the main air blower 203 of the cleaning device 10, pass through the first filter 108, and enter the inner cavity of the dust box 202. In this process, the air flow passing through the first filter 108 reversely blows the garbage remaining on the first filter 108 into the inner cavity of the dust box 202, realizes self-cleaning of the first filter 108, reduces the replacement frequency of the first filter 108, prolongs the service life of the first filter 108, and guarantees the filtering effect of the first filter 108. The flow direction of the air flow flowing to the dust box 202 during the dust collection process of the base station is opposite to the flow direction of the air flow flowing to the dust box 202 during the cleaning process after the cleaning device 10 leaves the base station, so the flow direction of the air flow under the action of the dust collection fan 841 is called “reversed”.

[0122] Exemplarily, the first filter 108 is a Hepa. The garbage blown into the dust box 202 can be discharged to the discharge channel through the first discharge port 2022 and enter the base station.

[0123] In some embodiments, the dust collection module 840 further includes a first dust collection channel 842, a dust collection bin 843, and a second dust collection channel 844. The first dust collection channel 842 is respectively connected to the dust collection port 811 and the dust collection bin 843 to transport the air flow passing through the dust collection port 811 into the dust collection bin 843. The second dust collection channel 844 is respectively connected to the dust collection bin 843 and the first air outlet 812 to transport the air flow flowing out of the dust collection bin 843 to the first air outlet 812. The second dust collection channel 844 includes a second air outlet 860 Figure 15d The second air outlet 860 is used for noise reduction.

[0124] As can be seen from Figure 15a The first dust collection channel 842, the dust collection bin 843, the dust collection fan 841, and the second dust collection channel 844 together form an air duct for the air flow to circulate inside the base station. The dust collection fan 841 is installed outside the dust collection bin 843. One end of the first dust collection channel 842 is connected to the dust collection port 811, and the other end of the first dust collection channel 842 is connected to the inlet of the dust collection bin 843. The outlet of the dust collection bin 843 is connected to the air inlet end of the dust collection fan 841. The second dust collection channel 844 is respectively connected to the air outlet end of the dust collection fan 841 and the first air outlet 812. The second dust collection channel 844 is located behind the dust collection bin 843. In FIG. 15, the arrow points to the flow path of the air flow under the action of the dust collection fan 841, which is: the dust collection port 811, the first dust collection channel 841, the dust collection bin 843, the dust collection fan 841, the second dust collection channel 844, and the first air outlet 812.

[0125] The dust collection bin 843 is generally provided with a second filter (such as a dust bag). The second filter is used to filter the air flow entering the dust collection bin 843 to retain the garbage carried by the air flow and discharge the filtered clean air flow.

[0126] The second air outlet 860 is located at the back of the cleaning tank 802 and inside the shell of the base station body 801.

[0127] With the second air outlet 860, the air flow rate blown by the first air outlet 812 into the dust box 202 can be reduced, which has a noise reduction effect.

[0128] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 15a and Figure 15c , the dust collection module 840 further comprises a porous sound-absorbing piece 870 connected to the second dust collection channel 844, and the sound-absorbing piece 870 covers the second air outlet 860 as shown in Figure 15d .

[0129] The porous sound-absorbing piece 870 can be foam, but is not limited thereto.

[0130] The porous sound-absorbing piece 870 can be fixed outside the second air outlet 860 by bonding, clamping or other means.

[0131] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 7 and Figure 8 , the base station body 801 further comprises a first charging electrode 815 and a second charging electrode 814, which are used to electrically connect the corresponding conductive terminals on the cleaning device 10 to charge the cleaning device 10; the first charging electrode 815, the second charging electrode 814, the first air outlet 812 and the dust collection port 811 are sequentially distributed from left to right on the inner wall 803 of the cleaning tank 802.

[0132] The first air outlet 812 and the dust collection port 811 are both located on the same side of the second charging electrode 814, which can better dock with the second dust outlet 113 and the second air outlet 114 on the cleaning device 10 after the cleaning device 10 returns to the base station, so as to realize the processing of the garbage in the dust box 202 and on the first filter 108 of the cleaning device 10.

[0133] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the inner wall 803 opposite the opening 804 of the cleaning tank 802 has at least one drying port 813, and the airflow from the drying port 813 is used at least to dry the main cleaning assembly 310 and the auxiliary cleaning assembly of the cleaning device 10; wherein the auxiliary cleaning assembly has at least an initial position and an edge position relative to the body 100 of the cleaning device 10; the at least one drying port 813 is distributed along the outer edges of the main cleaning assembly 310 and the auxiliary cleaning assembly; the overall length of the at least one drying port 813 is substantially equal to the sum of the lengths of the outer edges of the main cleaning assembly 310 and the auxiliary cleaning assembly. In this way, the drying port 813 can even completely cover the outer edges of the main cleaning cloth 311 and the auxiliary cleaning cloth 511, and the drying airflow from the drying port 813 can be blown to the entire surface of the main cleaning cloth 311 and the auxiliary cleaning cloth 511 through the respective outer edges, thereby improving the drying effect of the main cleaning cloth 311 and the auxiliary cleaning cloth 511.

[0134] In Figure 8 In the implementation mode shown, the base station is densely provided with a plurality of drying ports 813, which form a long strip-shaped grid structure. In some embodiments not shown in the present embodiment, the number of drying ports is one, and the drying port is in the form of a long strip.

[0135] In some embodiments, as Figure 7 and Figure 8 shown, the base station body 801 includes: a base station housing 810 and a cleaning disc 820, the cleaning disc 820 is located below the base station housing 810, and the cleaning disc 820 forms the lower part of the cleaning tank 802 to accommodate at least the main cleaning assembly 310 and the auxiliary cleaning assembly; the base station housing 810 forms the upper part of the cleaning tank 802 to accommodate the body 100 of the cleaning device 10; the drying port 813 is located on the base station housing 810, and the cleaning module 830 is installed on the cleaning disc 820, and the drying port 813 is located above the cleaning module 830. The position of the drying port 813 is relatively high relative to the cleaning disc 820 and the cleaning module 830, which can reduce the risk of liquid in the cleaning tank 802 entering the drying port 813.

[0136] In some embodiments, in combination with Figure 18 and Figure 19 shown, the base station housing 810 includes a first inner wall 8031 and a second inner wall 8034, the first inner wall 8031 is the part of the inner wall of the cleaning tank 802 provided with the drying port 813; the second inner wall 8034 surrounds the drying port 813 from the rear of the first inner wall 8031 to form a first drying air duct 852. This way of using part of the inner wall of the cleaning tank 802 to build the first drying air duct 852 can improve the compactness of the structure.

[0137] In some embodiments, as Figure 20As shown, the second inner wall 8034 has a connecting port 8035; the base station further comprises a drying air blower 850 and a second drying air duct 851, the second drying air duct 851 is at least partially located above the first drying air duct 852 in the vertical direction and is connected to the connecting port 8035 and the drying air blower 850 to provide air flow for the first drying air duct 852 to dry the main cleaning assembly 310 and the auxiliary cleaning assembly.

[0138] The vertical direction is a direction substantially perpendicular to the horizontal plane, and the connecting port 8035 is located at the top of the second inner wall 8034. The second drying air duct 851 is at least partially located above the first drying air duct 852 in the vertical direction and is connected to the connecting port 8035 and the drying air blower 850, which can make the drying air flow from the second drying air duct 851 directly into the first drying air duct 852, reducing the energy loss of the drying air flow caused by the turning of the air flow, and helping to improve the drying effect.

[0139] As shown in FIG. 8, the base station body 801 further comprises a first drying air duct 852 and a second drying air duct 851, the first drying air duct 852 is located in the base station body 801 and is connected to the drying air blower 850, and the second drying air duct 851 is at least partially located above the first drying air duct 852 in the vertical direction and is connected to the connecting port 8035 and the drying air blower 850. Figure 17 As shown, the second drying air duct 851 is provided with a PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) heating element, and the drying air flow blown by the drying air blower 850 is heated by the PTC heating element 853 and then flows to the first drying air duct 852 and is blown to the cleaning tank 802 by the drying port 813. The PTC heating element 853 forms a hot air flow, which can improve the drying effect.

[0140] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 8, the number of drying ports 813 is multiple, and the area of a single drying port 813 gradually decreases from the middle of the inner wall of the cleaning tank 802 to both sides. Figure 8

[0141] In some embodiments, the base station body 801 further comprises a first limiting protrusion 816 and a second limiting protrusion 817, which are used to insert the limiting groove 111 of the cleaning device 10 to limit the cleaning device 10; the first limiting protrusion 816, the second limiting protrusion 817, the first air outlet 812 and the dust collection port 811 are sequentially distributed in the inner wall of the cleaning tank 802 from left to right.

[0142] In some embodiments, the drying port 813 is located below the first limiting protrusion 816 and the second limiting protrusion 817.

[0143] ​The first limiting protrusion 816 and the second limiting protrusion 817 are connected with the corresponding limiting grooves 111 on the cleaning device 10, so that the stability of the cleaning device 10 in the base station is improved. The drying port 813 is located below the first limiting protrusion 816 and the second limiting protrusion 817, so that the drying port 813 is not too high from the cleaning tank 802, and the drying effect on the auxiliary wiping cloth 511, the main wiping cloth 311 and the cleaning tank 802 can be effectively ensured.

[0144] In some embodiments, the base station further comprises a cleaning module 830 and a water supplementing module, wherein the cleaning module 830 is movably arranged in the cleaning tank 802, and the cleaning module 830 cleans the main cleaning assembly 310 and the auxiliary cleaning assembly of the cleaning device 10 during movement; the water supplementing module supplements water for the clean water tank 600 of the cleaning device 10; when the cleaning module 830 cleans the main cleaning assembly 310 and the auxiliary cleaning assembly, the water supplementing module provides liquid for the main cleaning assembly 310 to wet the main cleaning assembly 310, and the liquid overflowing from the clean water tank 600 wets the auxiliary cleaning assembly.

[0145] The moving direction of the cleaning module 830 is substantially perpendicular to the direction in which the cleaning device 10 enters the base station.

[0146] The main cleaning assembly 310 cleans the ground by using the main wiping cloth 311, and the auxiliary cleaning assembly cleans the ground by using the auxiliary wiping cloth 511. Therefore, the cleaning of the main cleaning assembly 310 and the auxiliary cleaning assembly by the base station mainly refers to the cleaning of the main wiping cloth 311 and the auxiliary wiping cloth 511.

[0147] After the cleaning device 10 returns to the base station, the water supplementing module can use the original structure to supplement water for the clean water tank 600 and the main wiping cloth 311. When the water supplementing module supplements water for the clean water tank 600 of the cleaning device 10, there is enough solution in the clean water tank 600, and the liquid in the clean water tank 600 is used to supplement water for the auxiliary wiping cloth 511, so that a water channel for supplementing water for the auxiliary wiping cloth 511 does not need to be additionally arranged in the base station, the space occupied by the additionally arranged water channel is reduced, and the structure of the base station and the cleaning device 10 is fully utilized, so that the structure is simple and the cost is low.

[0148] The clean water tank 600 is part of the water supplementing structure of the cleaning device 10, and the auxiliary wiping cloth 511 is wetted by using the water supplementing structure of the cleaning device 10, so that the water supplementing structure of the cleaning device 10 can not only wet the auxiliary wiping cloth 511 during ground cleaning to improve the cleaning effect, but also can continue to wet the auxiliary wiping cloth 511 after the cleaning device 10 returns to the base station, which is a win-win situation.

[0149] Exemplarily, the cleaning device 10 is a robot cleaner. Figure 8As shown in the implementation, after the cleaning device 10 returns to the washing tank 802 through the opening 804, the washing module 830 can move back and forth between the left side and the right side of the washing tank 802 to scrape or wipe off the garbage on the bottom of the main cleaning cloth 311 and the auxiliary cleaning cloth 511 after being wetted, so as to realize the cleaning of the main cleaning cloth 311 and the auxiliary cleaning cloth 511.

[0150] In some embodiments, the water supplementing module includes a water storage tank and a liquid conveying structure, the liquid conveying structure being in communication with the water storage tank and the clean water tank 600 to supplement the clean water tank 600 with water.

[0151] The liquid in the water storage tank, the liquid in the clean water tank 600 of the cleaning device 10, and the liquid for wetting the main cleaning cloth 311 all come from the water storage tank of the base station. In this implementation, because the base station is provided with the water storage tank, the placement position of the base station is more flexible.

[0152] In other embodiments, the water storage tank can not be arranged in the base station. Specifically, the water supplementing module includes a liquid conveying structure, the liquid conveying structure being in communication with an external water source and the clean water tank 600 to convey the liquid of the external water source to the clean water tank 600. In this implementation, the space for the water storage tank in the base station is not needed, and the space of the base station can be saved, but the base station needs to be placed in an area close to the external water source. The external water source includes but is not limited to a water faucet capable of providing liquid.

[0153] In some embodiments, the washing module 830 includes a liquid outlet structure 836, the inner wall of the washing tank 802 opposite to the opening 804 is provided with a first liquid supplementing port 818, the first liquid supplementing port 818 being in communication with the clean water tank 600; the liquid conveying structure includes a first liquid conveying structure and a second liquid conveying structure, the first liquid conveying structure being in communication with the liquid outlet structure 836 and the clean water tank 600 respectively to supplement the clean water tank 600 and the liquid outlet structure 836 with water respectively, wherein the liquid flowing out of the liquid outlet structure 836 is used to wet the main cleaning assembly 310; the first liquid conveying structure moves synchronously at least partially with the movement of the washing module 830. In this way, the first liquid conveying structure can wet the main cleaning cloth 311 during the movement of the washing module 830, and the wetting efficiency and effect of the main cleaning cloth 311 are improved. The second liquid conveying structure is in communication with the first liquid supplementing port 818 to supplement the clean water tank 600 with liquid through the first liquid supplementing port 818.

[0154] If the water storage tank is arranged in the base station, one end of the first liquid conveying structure is in communication with the water storage tank, and the other end of the first liquid conveying structure is in communication with the liquid outlet structure 836 and the clean water tank 600 respectively to supplement the main cleaning cloth 311 and the auxiliary cleaning cloth 511 with water respectively. The one end of the second liquid conveying structure is in communication with the water storage tank, and the other end of the second liquid conveying structure is in communication with the first liquid supplementing port 818 to supplement the clean water tank 600 with liquid in the water storage tank through the first liquid supplementing port 818. Similarly, if the water storage tank is not arranged in the base station, one end of the first liquid conveying structure and one end of the second liquid conveying structure can be in communication with the external water source.

[0155] The cleaning equipment 10 typically also has a replenishment pipe 40 inside. The replenishment pipe 40 connects the second replenishment port 112 on the side of the cleaning equipment 10 body 100 and the clean water tank 600. After the cleaning equipment 10 is docked in the cleaning tank 802 inside the base station 800, the second replenishment port 112 can be connected to the first replenishment port 818. The liquid flowing out of the second liquid delivery structure enters the first replenishment port 818, and then passes through the second replenishment port 112 and the replenishment pipe 40 in sequence. Figure 5a The water flows to the clean water tank 600 to replenish the cleaning equipment 10. First replenishment port 818, clean water tank 600, first replenishment port 818, replenishment pipe 40, clean water tank 600.

[0156] In some embodiments, the cleaning module 830 further includes a cleaning bracket 837, a cleaning component 838, a first interference component 834, and a second interference component 835; the cleaning bracket 837 is movably disposed within the cleaning tank 802; the cleaning component 838, the first interference component 834, the second interference component 835, and the liquid outlet structure 836 are all mounted on the cleaning bracket 837; wherein, the first interference component 834 and the second interference component 835 are respectively located on both sides of the cleaning component 838 along the moving direction of the cleaning module 830, the first interference component 834 and the second interference component 835 are both parallel to the cleaning component 838, and the axial direction of the cleaning component 838 is parallel to the direction in which the cleaning device 10 enters the base station; along the axial direction of the cleaning component 838, at least one of the first interference component 834 and the second interference component 835 extends obliquely upward from the opening 804 into the cleaning tank 802 to increase the interference between it and at least one of the main cleaning component 310 and the auxiliary cleaning component.

[0157] like Figure 9 As shown, the liquid outlet 8361 of the liquid outlet structure 836 is located on the side of the cleaning component 838. There are multiple liquid outlets 8361, and the multiple liquid outlets 8361 are evenly distributed along the axial direction of the cleaning component 838.

[0158] The cleaning component 838, the first interference component 834, the second interference component 835, and the liquid outlet structure 836 can all move synchronously with the movement of the cleaning bracket 837.

[0159] The first interference member 834 and the second interference member 835 can scrape off the garbage at the bottom of the main cloth 311 at different positions, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the main cloth 311.

[0160] When the cleaning bracket 837 moves, it can also drive the first interference member 834 and the second interference member 835 to scrape off the garbage at the bottom of the auxiliary cloth 511, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the auxiliary cloth 511.

[0161] Figure 9In the implementation shown, both the first interference member 834 and the second interference member 835 extend obliquely upward from the opening 804 into the cleaning tank 802. In other words, both the first interference member 834 and the second interference member 835 extend axially towards the inner wall of the cleaning tank 802. Figure 9 The direction of the middle arrow is upward. Taking the main cleaning cloth 311 as an example, this structure can gradually increase the interference between the interference members (referring to the first interference member 834 and the second interference member 835) and the main cleaning cloth 311 along the inclined direction, thereby improving the scraping effect on the garbage at the bottom of the main cleaning cloth 311.

[0162] Here, the interference can be understood as the resistance force of the interference component on the wiping cloth. For example, the greater the upward tilt angle of the interference component, the greater its resistance force on the main wiping cloth 311. Conversely, the smaller the upward tilt angle of the interference component, the smaller its resistance force on the main wiping cloth 311.

[0163] like Figure 9 As shown, the cleaning component 838 is a rotatable roller brush. The cleaning module 830 also includes a cleaning drive assembly 831 mounted on the cleaning bracket 837. The cleaning drive assembly 831 includes a drive motor and a transmission mechanism, combined with... Figures 9 to 13 As shown, the cleaning bracket 837 is equipped with transmission gears at both its front and rear ends (such as...). Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, the transmission gears include a front transmission gear 833 and a rear transmission gear 832. The transmission mechanism transmits the force output by the drive motor to the transmission gears, causing them to rotate. Figures 11 to 14 As shown, a first rack 821 and a second rack 822 are respectively provided at the rear and front of the cleaning disc 820 at the bottom of the base station. The transmission gears can move along the corresponding racks, thereby realizing the movement of the cleaning module 830 within the cleaning tank 802. Figure 9 In the middle, the cleaning module 830's drive motor also moves along with the cleaning bracket 837.

[0164] The transmission mechanism of the cleaning module 830 can be a gear transmission mechanism, a worm gear transmission mechanism, or other types of transmission mechanisms. This application does not limit this.

[0165] In some embodiments, the cleaning drive assembly 831 can drive the cleaning module 830 to move along the straight line of the rack while also driving the cleaning component 838 to rotate, so as to improve the cleaning effect on the main cloth 311 and the auxiliary cloth 511.

[0166] Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 16 E, F, and G indicate the different positions of the same cleaning module 830 during its movement.

[0167] Example 2

[0168] On the basis of the foregoing, referring to Figures 1 to 20 , the embodiment provides a cleaning system, comprising the cleaning device 10 and the base station 800 of any one of the foregoing embodiments.

[0169] As Figures 1 to 6 shown, the cleaning system comprises the cleaning device 10 and the base station of any one of the first aspect; the cleaning device 10 comprises a dry cleaning module, a main cleaning module 300 and an auxiliary cleaning module; the main cleaning module 300 comprises at least one main cleaning assembly 310.

[0170] The auxiliary cleaning module comprises a first driving structure and at least one auxiliary cleaning assembly, and the first driving structure drives the auxiliary cleaning assembly to have at least an initial position and an edge-following position relative to the machine body 100 of the cleaning device 10.

[0171] The water supply structure comprises a clean water tank 600; the dry cleaning module comprises at least a dust box 202, a main air blower 203 and a first filter 108, and the dust box 202 is arranged in a dust box cavity in the machine body 100; the dust box 202 has a dust inlet 2021 and a first air outlet 2023, and the first filter 108 is located between the first air outlet 2023 and an air inlet of the main air blower 203; when the cleaning device 10 cleans a surface to be cleaned, under the action of the main air blower 203, airflow enters the dust box 202 through the dust inlet 2021 and is discharged from the first air outlet 2023 to the first filter 108 and the main air blower 203; when the dust collection module 840 collects dust from the cleaning device 10, the main air blower 203 stops working, and airflow blown by a dust collection air blower 841 is blown to the first filter 108 through the air duct where the main air blower 203 is located, so as to blow the garbage on the first filter 108 into the dust box 202.

[0172] In the embodiment, the cleaning system comprises the base station described in Embodiment 1, and therefore, the cleaning system also has the beneficial effects of the foregoing base station, which will not be described repeatedly.

[0173] In some embodiments, the clean water tank 600 comprises an overflow port 602 and an overflow pipe 640, one end of the overflow pipe 640 communicates with the overflow port 602, and the other end supplies water to the auxiliary cleaning assembly.

[0174] Generally, the overflow pipe 640 does not swing with the swinging of the swing arm 524, and the overflow port 602 does not supply water to the auxiliary cleaning cloth 511 when the auxiliary cleaning assembly is in the edge-following position. However, the overflow port 602 can supply water to the auxiliary cleaning cloth 511 when the auxiliary cleaning assembly is in the initial position.

[0175] The scenario of supplying water to the auxiliary cleaning component through the overflow pipe 640 at least includes: when the cleaning device 10 returns to the base station and the base station supplies water to the clean water tank 600 of the cleaning device 10, the clean water tank 600 will overflow to the outside of the clean water tank 600 through the overflow pipe 640. Since the cleaning device 10 is on the base station, the auxiliary cleaning component is in the initial position, and the liquid overflowing from the overflow pipe 640 supplies water to the auxiliary cleaning cloth 511 in the initial position.

[0176] After the cleaning device 10 leaves the base station, during the cleaning process of cleaning the ground, when the cleaning device 10 overcomes obstacles or the ground is uneven, the body 100 will vibrate, and the clean water tank 600 will vibrate with it. The water in the clean water tank 600 will occasionally overflow from the overflow pipe 640. In this case, the liquid overflowing from the overflow pipe 640 can also supply water to the auxiliary cleaning cloth 511 in the initial position.

[0177] In some embodiments, the water supply structure further includes: a first water path and a second water path 620; one end of the first water path is in communication with the clean water tank 600, and the other end supplies water to the auxiliary cleaning component; one end of the second water path 620 is in communication with the clean water tank 600, and the other end supplies water to the main cleaning component 310.

[0178] In some embodiments, during the cleaning process of the cleaning device 10 cleaning the surface to be cleaned, the liquid flowing out of at least one of the first water path and the overflow pipe 640 is used to wet the auxiliary cleaning component; the liquid flowing out of the second water path 620 is used to wet the main cleaning component 310; when the cleaning module 830 cleans the main cleaning component 310 and the auxiliary cleaning component, the liquid flowing out of the overflow pipe is used to wet the auxiliary cleaning component.

[0179] Exemplarily, the second water path 620 does not swing with the swing of the swing arm 524.

[0180] Since the energy storage unit inside the cleaning device 10 may be insufficient after the cleaning device 10 returns to the base station, the base station needs to charge the cleaning device 10, and the liquid flowing in the first water path and the second water path 620 needs to be pumped by a water pump, and the water pump needs to consume electricity, therefore, generally, the first water path and the second water path 620 are not used after the cleaning device 10 returns to the base station. Since the liquid flowing in the overflow pipe 640 does not need to be pumped by a water pump, therefore, the cleaning device 10 can supply water to the auxiliary cleaning cloth 511 through the overflow pipe 640 after returning to the base station.

[0181] In some embodiments, the first water path and the second water path 620 supply water to the auxiliary cleaning component and the main cleaning component 310, respectively, during the cleaning process after the cleaning device 10 leaves the base station. And after the cleaning device 10 returns to the base station, the main cleaning cloth 311 is wetted by the liquid supply structure of the base station, and the auxiliary cleaning cloth 511 is wetted by the overflow pipe 640.

[0182] In this embodiment, the main cleaning component 310 includes a flat mop, which includes a mounting base 312 and a main cloth 311 located at the bottom of the mounting base 312. The mounting base 312 includes a vibrating plate. Under the action of the second driving structure of the main cleaning module 300, the vibrating plate drives the main cloth 311 to vibrate or twist back and forth to clean the surface to be cleaned.

[0183] As shown in Figure 5, the second water channel 620 is located at the top of the mounting base 312. The mounting base 312 has a water outlet 3121 that communicates with the second water channel 620. Since the main wiping cloth 311 is located at the bottom of the mounting base 312, the liquid dripping from the second water outlet 3121 falls onto the main wiping cloth 311 through the water outlet 3121 to replenish the main wiping cloth 311 with water.

[0184] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown in Figure 5, the cleaning device 10 also includes a dry cleaning module, which includes at least a dust box 202, a main fan 203, and a first filter element 108. The dust box 202 is located inside the dust box 202 cavity within the body 100. The dust box 202 has a dust inlet 2021 and a first exhaust outlet 2023. The first filter element 108 is located between the first exhaust outlet 2023 and the air inlet of the main fan 203. The cleaning device 10 cleans the surface to be cleaned. When the main fan 203 is in operation, the airflow enters the dust box 202 through the dust inlet 2021 and is discharged to the first filter element 108 and the main fan 203 through the first exhaust outlet 2023. When the dust collection module 840 collects dust from the cleaning equipment 10, the main fan 203 stops working, and the airflow blown out by the dust collection fan 841 is blown to the first filter element 108 through the air duct where the main fan 203 is located, so as to blow the garbage on the first filter element 108 into the dust box 202.

[0185] In some embodiments, the dust box 202 also has a first dust discharge port 2022, and the dry cleaning module also includes a dust discharge channel 107, which connects the first dust discharge port 2022 and the second dust discharge port 113 on the body 100. When the dust collection module 840 collects dust from the cleaning equipment 10, the dust collection fan 841 can suck the garbage in the dust box 202 into the dust collection chamber 843 in sequence through the first dust discharge port 2022, the dust discharge channel 107, the second dust discharge port 113, and the dust collection port 811.

[0186] When the dustbin 202 of the dry cleaning module needs to be emptied, the main fan does not operate. Under the action of the base station's dust collection fan, outside air enters the dustbin 202 through the dust inlet 2021. The dust moves from the dust inlet 2021 towards the dust outlet 2022, and is then discharged from the dustbin through the dust outlet 2022. In other words, the dust inlet 2021 serves two purposes: during cleaning, it allows dust to enter the dustbin 202; during dust removal, it allows outside air to enter the dustbin 202, carrying the dust out towards the dust outlet 2022. This design makes the dustbin 202 simple and compact, occupying little space within the cleaning equipment. Otherwise, the dustbin 202 would require both a dust inlet and an air inlet to allow outside air to enter during dust removal, facilitating dust discharge.

[0187] The other structures and working principles of the cleaning equipment have been described in detail in the above embodiments and will not be repeated here.
