[0049] Existing window cleaning robots rely on the suction force generated by the fan to adhere to the glass surface, and use the walking mechanism to drive the cleaning parts to wipe the glass, thereby cleaning the glass surface. After each cleaning task is completed, the cleaning parts of the window cleaning robot will be contaminated with dust, stains and water, and need to be cleaned for subsequent use.

[0050] In related technologies, users need to manually disassemble, clean and reinstall the cleaning parts of the window cleaning robot. The whole process is cumbersome, time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the manual cleaning method is also difficult to guarantee the cleanliness, thereby reducing the user experience.

[0051] In order to solve the above technical problems, this application provides a cleaning base station, a cleaning system and a cleaning method for the cleaning system. The window cleaning robot cleaning system of this application will be described below.

[0054] For example, the housing 11 is generally rectangular. An adsorption element (not shown) can be provided on the housing 11. For example, the adsorption element can be provided in the middle of the housing 11. The adsorption unit can be used to adsorb the window cleaning robot 1 onto the surface to be wiped.

[0055] Specifically, the adsorption element can include a negative pressure chamber and a vacuum source provided at the first end 111 of the housing 11. The first end 111 of the housing can be recessed inward to form a negative pressure chamber. The opening of the negative pressure chamber faces the surface to be wiped. The vacuum source is in fluid communication with the negative pressure chamber. When the vacuum source evacuates the negative pressure chamber, a negative pressure environment is generated in the negative pressure chamber, thereby adsorbing the outer shell 11 onto the wiping surface to be wiped.

[0056] The vacuum source includes, but is not limited to, a fan.

[0057] The driving component 12 can be located at the first end 111 and is movably disposed on the outer shell 11 to move the window cleaning robot 1. Thus, the driving component 12 can drive the window cleaning robot 1 to move on the surface to be wiped.

[0058] The driving component 12 can be a tracked structure or a wheel, which is not limited in this application.

[0059] It should be noted that part of the driving component 12 protrudes from the outer shell 11.

[0060] The cleaning component 15 is located at the first end 111 and is installed on the outer shell 11. Thus, the window cleaning robot 1 can clean the surface to be wiped by the cleaning component 15.

[0061] The cleaning component 15 includes a first cleaning element 13 and a second cleaning element 14. The first cleaning element 13 may be located at the first end 111 and installed on the housing 11. Thus, the window cleaning robot 1 can clean the surface to be wiped by means of the first cleaning element 13.

[0062] The connection between the first cleaning element 13 and the housing 11 may be detachably connected.

[0063] For example, the first cleaning element 13 may be a cleaning cloth, a cleaning brush, etc., which is not limited in this application.

[0064] The second cleaning element 14 is located at the first end 111 and installed on the housing 11. The second cleaning element 14 is located on the outer periphery of the first cleaning element 13. There may be multiple second cleaning elements 14, which may be spaced apart around the circumference of the first cleaning element 13. For example, when the housing 11 is rectangular in shape, the second cleaning elements 14 may be located at the corners of the housing 11. Thus, the window cleaning robot 1 can clean the edges and corners of the surface to be wiped by means of the second cleaning elements 14.

[0065] For example, the second cleaning component 14 can be a cleaning cloth, a cleaning brush, a cleaning squeegee, etc.

[0066] Referring to Figures 2 and 3, the cleaning base station 2 can include a base station body 21. The base station body 21 can have a receiving space 211. The receiving space 211 has a first region 2113 and a second region 2114 that are connected. The first region 2113 has an opening 212, which is adapted to allow the window cleaning robot 1 to be detachably disposed in the first region 2113 to switch between a stored state and a separated state. Specifically, when the window cleaning robot 1 changes from a separated state to a stored state, the window cleaning robot 1 is placed into the receiving space 211 through the opening 212 and connected to the base station body 21. When the window cleaning robot 1 changes from a stored state to a separated state, the window cleaning robot 1 is disconnected from the base station body 21 and then taken out from the receiving space 211 through the opening 212.

[0067] The detachable connection between the window cleaning robot 1 and the base station body 21 can be a snap-fit, magnetic attraction, fastener connection, etc.

[0068] For example, the shape of the opening 212 can be the same as the shape of the window cleaning robot 1. For example, the shape of the opening 212 can be rectangular.

[0069] The cleaning base station 2 also includes a cleaning component 22. The cleaning component 22 is movably installed in the second area 2114. In the stored state, the cleaning component 22 and the window cleaning robot 1 can move relative to each other.

[0070] Thus, the cleaning component 22 can be protected, thereby improving the service life of the cleaning component 22. Moreover, compared with the window cleaning robot 1, which has a larger driving weight, the movable cleaning component 22 is beneficial to reducing the energy consumption and manufacturing cost of the cleaning system 100. At the same time, it is also beneficial to avoid the cleaning base station 2 from being too large.

[0071] It should be noted that the window cleaning robot 1 can be fixed, and the cleaning component 22 can move relative to the window cleaning robot 1.Alternatively, the cleaning component 22 can be fixed, while the window cleaning robot 1 can move relative to the cleaning component 22. Alternatively, both the window cleaning robot 1 and the cleaning component 22 can be movable.

[0072] The relatively movable window cleaning robot 1 and the cleaning component 22 allow the cleaning component 22 to clean the cleaning component 15 and / or the drive component 12. For example, the cleaning component 22 can clean at least two of the drive component 12, the first cleaning component 13, and the second cleaning component 14. Specifically, when the window cleaning robot 1 is in a retracted state, the cleaning component 22 can clean the drive component 12 and the first cleaning component 13, or the drive component 12 and the second cleaning component 14, or the first cleaning component 13 and the second cleaning component 14, or the drive component 12, the first cleaning component 13, and the second cleaning component 14, as described on page 6 / 13 of the specification (CN 121512373 A). Thus, the cleaning component 22 of the cleaning base station 2 can simultaneously clean multiple components of the window cleaning robot 1, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency of the cleaning base station 2.

[0073] Referring to FIG5, the cleaning assembly 22 includes a water spraying element 222. The water spraying element 222 may have multiple water spray nozzles 2221. Wherein, "multiple" means that the number of water spray nozzles 2221 is two or more.

[0074] In the retracted state, the multiple water spray nozzles 2221 are adapted to spray water toward the first area 2113. Thus, by spraying water onto the cleaning assembly 15 and / or the drive element 12 through the water spray nozzles 2221, stains can be washed away, the cleaning method is simple, and thus it is beneficial to reduce the manufacturing cost of the cleaning base station 2.

[0075] For example, the height of the liquid sprayed from the water spray nozzles 2221 is less than the shortest distance between the adsorption element and the water spray nozzles 2221, thereby avoiding damage to other parts of the window cleaning robot 1 by the liquid sprayed from the water spray nozzles 2221, which is beneficial to improving the service life of the window cleaning robot 1.

[0076] According to the cleaning system 100 of this application embodiment, by installing a cleaning component 22 in the accommodating space 211 of the base station body 21, when the window cleaning robot 1 is in the storage state, the window cleaning robot 1 is located in the first area 2113, and the window cleaning robot 1 and the cleaning component 22 can move relative to each other. The cleaning component 22 sprays water to the cleaning component 15 and / or the driving component 12 through the spray nozzle 2221 of the water spraying component 222, thereby cleaning the cleaning component 15 and / or the driving component 12 of the window cleaning robot 1, which is beneficial to improving the cleaning efficiency of the cleaning base station 2 and also beneficial to reducing the manufacturing cost of the cleaning base station 2. At the same time, it eliminates the need for the user to manually clean the driving component 12 and the cleaning component 15, and helps to ensure the cleaning effect, thereby improving the user experience.

[0077] Please continue to refer to FIG2 and FIG3. In some embodiments, the second cleaning component 14 is a corner cleaning brush 14a. Multiple edgesThe corner cleaning brushes 14a are located at the edge of the first end 111 and are spaced apart along the circumference of the window cleaning robot 1. The corner cleaning brushes 14a are rotatably connected to the outer casing 11. Multiple positioning through holes 213 can be provided at the edge of the open opening 212. Each positioning through hole 213 corresponds one-to-one with a corner cleaning brush 14a. For example, there are four corner cleaning brushes 14a, located at the four corners of the outer casing 11. There are also four positioning through holes 213, with one corner cleaning brush 14a located within one positioning through hole 213.

[0078] The positioning through holes 213 communicate with the receiving space 211, and the corner cleaning brushes 14a are located within the positioning through holes 213. Therefore, when the window cleaning robot 1 enters the first area 2113 through the opening 212, a corner cleaning brush 14a corresponds to a positioning through hole 213, thereby restricting multiple degrees of freedom of the window cleaning robot 1 through multiple positioning through holes 213, and achieving precise positioning of the installation position of the window cleaning robot 1. It can also prevent the window cleaning robot 1 from shaking on the base station body 21. It is also convenient for users to place the window cleaning robot 1, thereby reducing the difficulty of use for users.

[0079] For example, the side wall of the positioning through hole 213 facing the receiving space 211 is open to form a clearance opening, and the clearance opening is connected to the end of the positioning through hole 213 away from the cleaning component 22. Therefore, the clearance opening can be used to avoid the connection between the corner cleaning brush 14a and the housing 11, thereby improving the reliability of the placement of the window cleaning robot 1.

[0080] Please continue to refer to Figures 2 and 3. In some embodiments, the opening 212 is located at the top of the receiving space 211. Therefore, the window cleaning robot 1 and the cleaning component 22 can be arranged vertically, which helps to reduce the floor space occupied by the cleaning base station 2. Furthermore, when switching between the storage state and the detached state, the window cleaning robot 1 can directly enter the housing space 211 through the open opening 212 at the top of the housing space 211, conforming to ergonomic vertical operation, simplifying the operation process, and thus improving the user experience. At the same time, it can also avoid scratches and collisions caused by horizontal placement, thus helping to protect the window cleaning robot 1 during the switching process.

[0081] It should be noted that the open opening 212 can also be located on the side wall of the housing space 211, and this application does not limit this. Specification 7 / 13 pages 11 CN 121512373 A

[0082] Please refer to Figures 3 and 4. A fixing boss 214 can be provided on the inner circumferential surface of the positioning through hole 213. The outer peripheral edge of the corner cleaning brush 14a is supported by the fixing boss 214. Therefore, when the window cleaning robot 1 switches to the storage state, the corner cleaning brush 14a is located inside the positioning through hole 213, and the outer peripheral edge of the corner cleaning brush 14a is connected to the fixing boss 214. The fixing method is simple, thus...This simplifies the placement steps of the window cleaning robot 1, thereby improving the user experience. Furthermore, since the fixing boss 214 is only used to support the outer periphery of the corner cleaning brush 14a, the cleaning assembly 22 can clean areas where the corner cleaning brush 14a does not coincide with the positioning boss.

[0083] For example, the corner cleaning brush 14a is cylindrical, and the fixing boss 214 can be arc-shaped. This facilitates the engagement of the fixing boss 214 with the corner cleaning brush 14a.

[0084] Please continue to refer to Figures 2 and 3. In some embodiments, a first snap-fit ​​member (not shown) is provided in the positioning through hole 213, and a second snap-fit ​​member (not shown) is provided on the corner cleaning brush 14a. The first snap-fit ​​member and the second snap-fit ​​member engage in a snap-fit ​​relationship. Therefore, through the snap-fit ​​engagement of the first and second snap-fit ​​components, and the engagement between the fixing boss 214 and the window cleaning robot 1, the window cleaning robot 1 can be fixed on the cleaning base station 2, thereby preventing the window cleaning robot 1 from shaking when being cleaned by the cleaning component 22, which helps to maintain the cleanliness of the cleaning base station 2.

[0085] For example, in the arrangement direction of the window cleaning robot 1 and the cleaning component 22, the first snap-fit ​​component and the fixing boss 214 can be located at opposite ends of the corner cleaning brush 14a to clamp the corner cleaning brush 14a. The fixing method is simple, which helps to reduce the installation difficulty of the window cleaning robot 1.

[0086] For example, the first snap-fit ​​component can be one of the groove or the protrusion, and the second snap-fit ​​component can be the other of the groove or the protrusion.

[0087] Please continue to refer to Figures 3 and 4. In some embodiments, the cleaning system 100 may also include at least one photoelectric sensor 25. The photoelectric sensor 25 can be connected to the base station body 21 and is located on the outer periphery of the positioning through hole 213. The photoelectric sensor 25 is used to detect whether the window cleaning robot 1 is placed in the correct position. Specifically, when the window cleaning robot 1 is not placed in the correct position, the light path of the photoelectric sensor 25 is unobstructed. When the window cleaning robot 1 is placed in the correct position, the light path of the photoelectric sensor 25 is blocked. This simple structure helps to reduce the manufacturing cost of the cleaning system 100.

[0088] The number of photoelectric sensors 25 can be one, which helps to reduce the manufacturing cost of the cleaning system 100. The number of photoelectric sensors 25 can also be multiple, which helps to improve the reliability of detection.

[0089] Please continue to refer to Figures 3 and 4. For example, the photoelectric sensor 25 may include a transmitting part and a receiving part. A transmitting hole 2131 and a receiving hole 2132 are formed on the inner sidewall of the positioning through hole 213, and a photoelectric channel is formed between the transmitting hole 2131 and the receiving hole 2132. The transmitting hole 2131 is directly opposite to the transmitting part, and the receiving hole 2132 is directly opposite to the receiving part. The receiving part is used to receive the light signal emitted by the transmitting part. This arrangement helps to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the detection by the photoelectric sensor 25.

[0090] Please refer to Figures 3 and 4. For example, the transmitting hole 2131 and the receiving hole 2132 can be located between the first latch and the fixed boss 214, that is, the photoelectric channel is located between the first latch and the fixed boss 214. This helps to ensure the accuracy of the photoelectric sensor 25. At the same time, it can also avoid the first latch and the fixed boss 214 from blocking the photoelectric channel.

[0091] Please refer to Figure 5. In some embodiments, the plane on which the movement path of the cleaning component 22 is located is the reference plane. The cleaning component 22 and the first end 111 are arranged opposite each other in a direction perpendicular to the reference plane. The orthographic projection of the cleaning component 15 and / or the driving component 12 on the reference plane overlaps with the movement path of the cleaning component 22, that is, at least two of the driving component 12, the first cleaning component 13 and the second cleaning component 14 overlap with the movement path of the cleaning component 22 on the reference plane. Wherein, "overlap" means that the orthographic projection of the cleaning component 15 and / or the driving component 12 on the reference plane can completely coincide with or partially coincide with the movement path of the cleaning component 22. Specification 8 / 13 pages 12 CN 121512373 A

[0092] Thus, when the window cleaning robot 1 is in the storage state, the cleaning component 22 can clean the cleaning component 15 and / or the driving component 12 during the movement, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency of the cleaning base station 2.

[0093] Please continue to refer to FIG5. In some embodiments, the cleaning base station 2 includes a drive motor 26 and a transmission component 27. The cleaning component 22 is fixedly connected to the drive motor 26. The transmission component 27 includes a gear 271 and a rack 272. The rack 272 is fixed in the receiving space 211, and the gear 271 meshes with the rack 272. The motor shaft of the drive motor 26 is connected to the gear 271. Therefore, the drive motor 26 can drive the cleaning component 22 to perform linear reciprocating motion on the rack 272, so as to clean the cleaning component 15 and / or the drive component 12 in the retracted state. At the same time, the transmission structure of the gear 271 and the rack 272 is simple and has a precise transmission ratio, which is conducive to the precise control of the position of the cleaning component 22.

[0094] For example, the rack 272 can be connected to the base station body 21 by means of fastener connection. This connection method is simple and easy to fix the rack 272.

[0095] For example, the rack 272 can be fixed on the top wall of the receiving space 211. The liquid storage component 231 can be located on the side of the rack 272 away from the open opening 212. Therefore, the receiving space 211 can be fully utilized, which is conducive to optimizing the structural components within the receiving space 211 and to realizing the miniaturization of the cleaning base station 2.

[0096] It should be noted that the cleaning assembly 22 can also achieve linear reciprocating motion via a transmission belt, lead screw, or other means; this application does not limit this to that.

[0097] For example, the cleaning base station 2 may include two sets of transmission components 27, which may be located on opposite sides of the window cleaning robot 1. This helps to ensure the stability and reliability of the movement of the cleaning component 22.

[0098] The two sets of transmission components 27 may be controlled by a single drive motor 26, or they may be controlled separately by drive motors 26. This application does not limit this.

[0099] Please continue to refer to FIG5. In some embodiments, the cleaning system 100 includes a drive component. The drive component is disposed in the accommodating space 211. The drive component is connected to the cleaning component 22 so that the cleaning component 22 and the window cleaning robot 1 can move relative to each other in the arrangement direction of the second region 2114 and the first region 2113, that is, the cleaning component 22 and the window cleaning robot 1 can move relative to each other in a direction perpendicular to the reference plane. Thus, the lifting and lowering of the cleaning component 22 can be controlled by the drive component, so that more cleaning methods can be achieved with the cleaning component 22, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency of the cleaning base station 2.

[0100] It should be noted that the drive component may be a gear rack, conveyor belt, lead screw, etc.

[0101] Please continue to refer to FIG5. In some embodiments, the cleaning component 22 may include a scraper 221. The movement path of the scraper 221 defines the movement path of the cleaning component 22. Since the scraper 221 will contact the cleaning component 15 and / or the drive component 12 during the cleaning process, it can scrape off the stains, which is beneficial to improving the cleaning efficiency of the cleaning component 22. In addition, the scraper 221 has a simple structure, which is beneficial to reducing the manufacturing cost of the cleaning system 100.

[0102] For example, there can be multiple scrapers 221, and multiple scrapers 221 can be spaced apart on the movement path of the cleaning component 22. This is beneficial to further improve the cleaning efficiency of the cleaning component 22.

[0103] It should be noted that the movement path of the scraper 221 can be a reciprocating linear motion, a reciprocating oscillating motion, or a curved motion. This application does not limit this.

[0104] Referring to Figures 5 and 6, in some embodiments, the water spray element 222 may have a first edge 2222 and a second edge 2223 opposite to each other along the moving direction of the cleaning assembly 22. The water spray nozzle 2221 closest to the first edge 2222 among the plurality of water spray nozzles 2221 is the first water spray nozzle 2221a. In the direction from the second region 2114 to the first region 2113, the first water spray nozzle 2221a is tilted toward the side away from the second edge 2223. Therefore, the liquid sprayed from the first water spray nozzle 2221a can be tilted toward the side away from the second edge 2223, thereby facilitating the expansion of the spraying range of the water spray element 222, allowing the water spray element 222 to clean the cleaning assembly 15 and / or the drive element 12 more quickly. Furthermore, since the spraying direction of the first water spray nozzle 2221a is opposite to that of the remaining spray nozzles... (See page 9 / 13 of the specification, CN 121512373)The different spraying directions of nozzle 2221 allow for cleaning of the cleaning component 15 and / or the drive component 12 from multiple angles, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency of the cleaning component 22.

[0105] Please continue to refer to Figures 1 and 2. In some embodiments, the nozzle 2221 closest to the second edge 2223 among the plurality of nozzles 2221 is the second nozzle 2221b, that is, the second nozzle 2221b is the nozzle closest to the second edge 2223 compared to the other nozzles 2221. In the direction from the second region 2114 to the first region 2113, the second nozzle 2221b is tilted toward the side away from the first edge 2222. Thus, the liquid sprayed from the second nozzle 2221b can be tilted toward the side away from the first edge 2222, thereby expanding the spraying range of the spray component 222 and enabling the spray component 222 to clean the cleaning component 15 and / or the drive component 12 more quickly. Furthermore, since the spraying direction of the second spray nozzle 2221b is different from that of the other spray nozzles 2221, the first end 111 can be cleaned from multiple angles, which is beneficial to improving the cleaning efficiency of the cleaning assembly 22.

[0106] It should be noted that the multiple spray nozzles 2221 may simultaneously include the first spray nozzle 2221a and the second spray nozzle 2221b. Thus, the cleaning assembly 15 and / or the driving component 12 can be cleaned better, which is beneficial to further improving the cleaning efficiency of the cleaning assembly 22.

[0107] Please continue to refer to Figures 5-7. In some embodiments, the cleaning assembly 22 may include a scraper 221. Thus, when using the scraper 221 for scraping, water can be sprayed onto the cleaning assembly 15 and / or the driving component 12 through the spray nozzles 2221, so that the liquid can penetrate and soften the stains, changing the stains from a solid adhered state to a solid-liquid mixed state, which makes it easier for the scraper 221 to scrape off the stains, thereby further improving the cleaning efficiency of the cleaning assembly 22.

[0108] For example, in the moving direction of the cleaning assembly 22, the scraper 221 may be located on the side of the first spray nozzle 2221a away from the first edge 2222. And / or, the scraper 221 may be located on the side of the second spray nozzle 2221b away from the second edge 2223. Thus, the scraper 221 can be wetted by the first spray nozzle 2221a and / or the second spray nozzle 2221b before cleaning, which helps to ensure the cleaning effect of the cleaning assembly 22.

[0109] Please continue to refer to Figures 5-7. In some embodiments, the scraper 221 has a fixed cavity 2211 that opens towards the side facing the window cleaning robot 1. The water spray element 222 is installed in the fixed cavity 2211. This facilitates the protection of the water spray element 222, thereby helping to improve the service life of the water spray element 222. At the same time, it also facilitates the assembly of the water spray element 222, thereby helping to improve the assembly efficiency of the cleaning base station 2.

[0110] Please refer to Figures 5-7. In some embodiments, the scraper 221 has a first scraper 2212 and a second scraper 2214 facing each other in its own direction of movement. Both the first scraper 2212 and the second scraper 2214 protrude from the water spray member 222 towards the side where the window cleaning robot 1 is located. This allows the water spray member 222 and the scraper 221 to be integrated, which helps to reduce the size of the cleaning assembly 22 and thus facilitates the miniaturization of the cleaning base station 2. Simultaneously, the first scraper 2212 and the second scraper 2214 can be repeatedly cleaned. The water spray member 222 can better cooperate with the first scraper 2212 and the second scraper 2214 to clean at least two of the drive member 12, the first cleaning member 13, and the second cleaning member 14, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency of the cleaning base station 2.

[0111] Please continue to refer to Figures 5-7. In some embodiments, the end of the first scraper 2212 near the window cleaning robot 1 has a first guide slope 2213, and the end of the second scraper 2214 near the window cleaning robot 1 has a second guide slope 2215. In the direction from the second region 2114 to the first region 2113, both the first guide slope 2213 and the second guide slope 2215 are inclined towards the water spray component 222. Thus, when the first scraper 2212 and the second scraper 2214 are cleaning, the first guide slope 2213 and the second guide slope 2215 can guide the dirt away from the water spray component 222, thereby preventing the dirt from clogging the spray nozzle 2221 of the water spray component 222, which is beneficial to ensuring the cleaning effect of the cleaning base station 2.

[0112] Please continue to refer to Figures 5-7. In some embodiments, the water spray component 222 and the scraper 221 are detachably connected. Therefore, when the water spray component 222 is damaged, it can be directly replaced or repaired, which helps to reduce the usage cost of the cleaning base station 2.

[0113] For example, a first connecting hole is formed at the end of the water spray component 222 away from the first end 111, and a second connecting hole is formed on the bottom wall of the fixing cavity 2211. Fasteners pass through the first connecting hole and the second connecting hole to connect the water spray component 222 to the scraper 221. This connection method is simple and helps to reduce the assembly difficulty of the cleaning base station 2.

[0114] The water spray component 222 and the scraper 221 can also be connected by magnetic attraction, snap-fit, etc., which is not limited in this application.

[0115] Please continue to refer to Figures 5 and 6. In some embodiments, the water spray component 222 may include a first plate 223 and a third plate 225 stacked together. The first plate 223 has an inlet 2231 and a first distribution channel 2232, the first distribution channel 2232It includes a first main flow channel 2233 and multiple first branch flow channels 2234 spaced apart. The inlet 2231 flows through the first main flow channel 2233, and the multiple first branch flow channels 2234 are connected to the first main flow channel 2233. The third plate 225 is provided with multiple spray nozzles 2221, and different first branch flow channels 2234 are connected to different spray nozzles 2221. Specifically, liquid flows into the first main flow channel 2233 from the inlet 2231, flows through the multiple first branch flow channels 2234, and then flows out from the multiple spray nozzles 2221. Thus, the liquid flowing in from the inlet 2231 can be divided by the first branch flow channels 2232, allowing the divided liquid to flow out from the multiple spray nozzles 2221. This ensures that each spray nozzle 2221 has sufficient spray pressure, and that each spray nozzle 2221 is independent of the others, thereby helping to ensure the stability and reliability of the water spray from the water spray component 222. This also separates the functions of water flow distribution and water flow spraying, which is beneficial to the processing and manufacturing of the water spray component 222.

[0116] Please continue to refer to Figures 5 and 6. In some embodiments, the first plate 223 and the third plate 225 are detachably connected. This facilitates the maintenance of the water spray component 222, thereby improving the maintainability of the water spray component 222.

[0117] For example, the first plate 223 is provided with a first snap-fit ​​portion, and the second plate 224 is provided with a second snap-fit ​​portion that snaps into the first snap-fit ​​portion. This arrangement simplifies the structure and helps to reduce the assembly difficulty of the water spray component 222.

[0118] Please continue to refer to Figures 5 and 6. In some embodiments, the water spray component 222 further includes a second plate 224. The first plate 223, the second plate 224 and the third plate 225 are stacked in sequence. The second plate 224 has multiple openings 2241, multiple second main channels 2242 and multiple second branch channels 2243. One second main channel 2242 is connected to one first branch channel 2234 through one opening 2241. One second main channel 2242 is connected to two second branch channels 2243. One second branch channel 2243 is connected to two water spray nozzles 2221 respectively. Specifically, liquid flows into the first main channel 2233 from the inlet 2231. The liquid in the first main channel 2233 flows to multiple first branch channels 2234. One first branch channel 2234 flows from the outlet 2241 to the second main channel 2242, and then from the second main channel 2242 to the second branch channel 2243, and finally flows out from multiple spray nozzles 2221.

[0119] Thus, by setting the second plate 224, the number of spray nozzles 2221 can be increased better, and the spray nozzles 2221 can be better distributed on the third plate 225, thereby improving the spraying effect of the spray component 222.

[0120] For example, the first plate 223, the second plate 224 and the third plate 225 can all be detachably connected.This improves the maintainability of the water spray component 222.

[0121] Please refer to Figure 5. In some embodiments, the cleaning assembly 22 includes a water spray component 222. The water spray component 222 has a spray nozzle 2221, which sprays water toward the first end 111 in the retracted state. The number of spray nozzles 2221 can be one or more, which is not limited in this application.

[0122] The cleaning system 100 also includes a liquid supply assembly 23. The liquid supply assembly 23 is located in the receiving space 211. The liquid supply assembly 23 includes a liquid storage component 231, a connecting pipe 232, and a liquid supply pump 233. The water spray component 222 is connected to the liquid storage component 231 through the connecting pipe 232, and the liquid supply pump 233 is used to drive the cleaning liquid in the liquid storage component 231 to flow to the water spray component 222. Thus, the liquid in the liquid storage component 231 can be transported to the liquid storage component 231 through the connecting pipe 232 by the liquid supply pump 233. Specification page 11 / 13 15 CN 121512373 A

[0123] For example, the liquid storage component 231 is detachably connected to the base station body 21. Thus, the liquid storage component 231 is configured as a structure that can be added to liquid, so it can be taken out from the containing space 211, added to liquid, and then placed back into the containing space 211. The liquid storage component 231 can also be non-detachably connected to the base station body 21, and liquid can be added to the liquid storage component 231 through an external pipe. This application does not limit this.

[0124] The liquid in the liquid storage component 231 can be water, cleaning agent, etc., and this application does not limit this.

[0125] Please continue to refer to Figures 5, 8 and 9. In some embodiments, the cleaning system 100 may include a wastewater collection component 28. The base station body 21 is provided with a horizontally arranged partition 215. A partition 215 is disposed within the accommodating space 211 to divide the accommodating space 211 into a cleaning chamber 2111 and an accommodating chamber 2112, which are distributed sequentially from top to bottom. The cleaning assembly 22 and the window cleaning robot 1 are both located within the cleaning chamber 2111. The wastewater collection assembly 28 is located within the accommodating chamber 2112. Thus, the partition 215 can physically isolate the cleaning chamber 2111 and the accommodating chamber 2112, thereby helping to prevent wastewater from contaminating the components within the accommodating space 211 during the cleaning process. It also helps to optimize the structural layout of the cleaning base and improve the space utilization of the cleaning base station 2.

[0126] For example, the liquid storage component 231 can also be located within the accommodating chamber 2112. Thus, the accommodating chamber 2112 can be fully utilized, thereby helping to optimize the structural layout of the cleaning base station 2.

[0127] A drain outlet 2151 is provided on the partition 215. The drain outlet 2151 is connected to the wastewater collection assembly 28. Specifically, the wastewater generated during the cleaning process of the cleaning component 22 will flow to the partition 215 under the action of gravity, and then be discharged through the drain outlet 2151.Wastewater collection assembly 28 collects wastewater. This simple structure helps reduce the manufacturing cost of the cleaning system 100.

[0128] Referring to Figures 5, 8, and 9, in some embodiments, the outer peripheral edge of the partition 215 may have opposing third edges 2152 and fourth edges 2153. The drain outlet 2151 is located at the third edge 2152, and the partition 215 extends downward in the direction from the fourth edge 2153 to the third edge 2152. This facilitates the outflow of wastewater on the partition 215 from the drain outlet 2151 along the inclined direction of the partition 215, thereby helping to reduce the manufacturing cost of the cleaning system 100. It also allows wastewater to be quickly collected by the wastewater collection assembly 28, thereby helping to reduce wastewater accumulation and thus improving wastewater collection efficiency.

[0129] Referring to Figure 5, in some embodiments, the wastewater collection assembly 28 includes a wastewater tank 281, a vacuum pump 282, and a drain pipe. The sewage tank 281 is connected to the sewage outlet 2151 via a sewage pipe, and the vacuum pump 282 is connected to the sewage tank 281. Therefore, the vacuum pump 282 can create negative pressure within the sewage tank 281, allowing sewage to be collected more quickly and thus enabling proactive and rapid sewage treatment, thereby improving the discharge speed of the sewage collection component 28.

[0130] The cleaning method of the cleaning system of this application will be described below.

[0131] The cleaning method of the cleaning system provided in this application includes the following steps: Please refer to Figures 2-4, S1: The window cleaning robot 1 is placed into the first area 2113 through the open opening 212. Therefore, when the user needs to clean the window cleaning robot 1, the window cleaning robot 1 can be placed into the first area 2113 and fixed.

[0132] S2: Determining that the window cleaning robot 1 is in a retracted state, the cleaning component 22 is moved. Therefore, when the window cleaning robot 1 is in the storage state, the drive motor 26 can be connected to the cleaning component 22, and the motor shaft of the drive motor 26 can be connected to the gear 271, so that the gear 271 meshes with the rack 272, thereby driving the cleaning component 22 to make linear reciprocating motion on the rack 272 under the control of the drive motor 26.

[0133] It should be noted that after the window cleaning robot 1 finishes cleaning, the cleaning component 22 can return to the initial position before cleaning.

[0134] Please refer to Figures 2-4. In some embodiments, the specific steps to determine that the window cleaning robot 1 is in the storage state include: aligning the multiple corner cleaning brushes 14a of the cleaning component 15 with the multiple positioning through holes 213 on the base station body 21. Specifically, when the window cleaning robot 1 enters the first area 2113 through the open opening 212, one corner cleaning brush 14a and the cleaning component 25 are aligned with the cleaning component 15.One positioning through hole 213 corresponds to the window cleaning robot 1, so that the installation position can be accurately positioned through multiple positioning through holes 213. The outer peripheral edge of the corner cleaning brush 14a can be supported on the fixing boss 214 on the inner peripheral surface of the positioning through hole 213. Simultaneously, the installation position of the window cleaning robot 1 can be further fixed by the engagement of a second snap-fit ​​component on the corner cleaning brush 14a and a first snap-fit ​​component within the positioning through hole 213.

[0135] The preset position of the corner cleaning brush 14a within the positioning through hole 213 is determined by the photoelectric sensor 25. Specifically, the photoelectric sensor 25 can be connected to the base station body 21 and can be located on the outer periphery of the positioning through hole 213. When the corner cleaning brush 14a of the window cleaning robot 1 is not located within the preset position of the positioning through hole 213, the optical path of the photoelectric sensor 25 is unobstructed. When the corner cleaning brush 14a of the window cleaning robot 1 is located within the preset position of the positioning through hole 213, the optical path of the photoelectric sensor 25 is blocked.

[0136] Please refer to Figures 2-4. In some embodiments, the specific steps for controlling the movement of the cleaning assembly 22 include: controlling the scraper 221 of the cleaning assembly 22 to scrape and clean the cleaning assembly 15 and / or the drive member 12. Specifically, the orthographic projection of the scraper 221 and / or the drive member 12 on the reference plane overlaps with the movement path of the cleaning assembly 22. By connecting the drive motor 26 to the scraper 221 and connecting the drive motor 26 to the gear 271, the gear 271 meshes with the rack 272, thereby driving the scraper 221 to make linear reciprocating motion on the rack 272 under the control of the drive motor 26.

[0137] Controlling the water spraying component 222 of the cleaning assembly 22 to spray water onto the first end 111 of the window cleaning robot 1. Specifically, the water spraying component 222 is connected to the liquid storage component 231 through the connecting pipe 232, and the liquid supply pump 233 is used to drive the cleaning liquid in the liquid storage component 231 to flow to the water spraying component 222. Therefore, the water spraying action of the spraying component can be controlled by the liquid supply pump. For example, after the window cleaning robot finishes cleaning, it can be connected to the sewage outlet through the sewage collection component. Specifically, the sewage collection component 28 includes a sewage tank 281, a vacuum pump 282, and a sewage pipe. The sewage tank 281 is connected to the sewage outlet 2151 through the sewage pipe, and the vacuum pump 282 is connected to the sewage tank 281. Therefore, the collection of sewage can be controlled by the vacuum pump.
