[0037] In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the quantity of the indicated technical features. Thus, features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features. In the description of the present invention, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise specifically defined.

[0038] Please refer to Figure 1 , an embodiment of the present invention provides a base for a cleaning robot (not shown in the figure) provided with a detachable cleaning member (not shown in the figure). The cleaning member may be a roller brush for sweeping the floor or a mop head for mopping the floor. The base includes a base body 100 and a tray 200. Specifically, as Figure 4 shown, the base body 100 has a receiving groove 110, and the tray 200 is disposed in the receiving groove 110 and is used for carrying the cleaning robot, so that the structure of the base is compact, which is beneficial to reducing the volume of the base and miniaturizing the base.

[0039] Specifically, in combination with Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 , the tray 200 has a fixing station and a separating station in the receiving groove 110. The tray 200 can switch positions between the fixing station and the separating station. The tray 200 has an entrance for the cleaning robot to enter. The base further includes a locking member 300 disposed in the receiving groove 110 and used for temporarily fixing the cleaning member. Wherein, when the tray 200 is at the fixing station, the cleaning robot carried on the tray 200 is connected to the cleaning member temporarily fixed on the locking member 300; when the tray 200 is at the separating station, the cleaning robot carried on the tray 200 is separated from the cleaning member temporarily fixed on the locking member 300. It can be understood that, according to the selection of the actual situation and specific requirements, the tray 200 may also have other stations in the receiving groove 110, which is not uniquely limited herein.

[0040] The working principle of the base of the embodiment of the present invention is as follows: In the initial state, the tray 200 is located at the fixing station, and the cleaning robot enters the tray 200 from the entrance of the tray 200, so that the cleaning robot is carried on the tray 200, and the cleaning member is temporarily fixed on the locking member 300. At this time, the cleaning robot is connected to the cleaning member; subsequently, the tray 200 moves to the separating station, so that the cleaning robot is separated from the cleaning member. Compared with the prior art, the base of the embodiment of the present invention can realize the separation between the cleaning robot and the cleaning member. The user does not need to pick the cleaning member off the cleaning robot from the gap between the cleaning member and the cleaning robot with nails or other tools, and the operation is simple, improving the user experience.

[0041] Furthermore, as a specific embodiment of the present invention, asFigure 4 As shown, a rotatable guide wheel 210 is provided inside the tray 200. When the cleaning robot crawls into the tray 200, the guide wheel 210 can play a role in guiding the cleaning robot.

[0042] Further, as a specific embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 1 shown, the locking member 300 is an electromagnet. The locking member 300 adsorbs the cleaning member by magnetic force. Specifically, an iron sheet or other structure that can be adsorbed by the electromagnet can be provided at a position corresponding to the electromagnet on the cleaning member. When the electromagnet is energized, the electromagnet generates magnetic force and adsorbs the iron sheet on the cleaning member, so that the cleaning member is temporarily fixed on the electromagnet. At this time, if the tray 200 drives the cleaning robot to move from the fixed station to the separation station, since the cleaning member is temporarily fixed on the cleaning member, the cleaning robot and the cleaning member will be separated. In this embodiment, the base may further include a control component electrically connected to the electromagnet, and the control component can control whether the electromagnet is energized or not. It can be understood that, according to the selection of the actual situation and specific requirements, the locking member 300 can also be other component structures, which is not limited uniquely here.

[0043] Further, as a specific embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 4 shown, a first dust collection pipeline 120 and a first dust collection port 121 communicating with the first dust collection pipeline 120 are provided on the seat body 100. The tray 200 is provided with a dust collection opening 220 for exposing the first dust collection port 121. In this embodiment, the cleaning robot is further provided with a dust box (not shown in the figure), and the dust box is provided with a dust outlet (not shown in the figure) facing the dust collection opening 220. In this structure, a negative pressure source (not shown in the figure) and a trash can (not shown in the figure) can be provided at one end of the first dust collection pipeline 120 away from the first dust collection port 121. When the negative pressure source generates negative pressure and generates suction, the dust or other garbage in the dust box can reach the trash can after passing through the dust outlet, the dust collection opening 220, the first dust collection port 121 and the first dust collection pipeline 120 in sequence. The user does not need to disassemble the dust box from the cleaning robot for cleaning, which simplifies the cleaning method of the dust box and greatly improves the user experience.

[0044] Further, as a specific embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, the tray 200 further has a dust collection station in the accommodation groove 110, and the tray 200 can switch positions between the separation station and the dust collection station on the seat body 100; as Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, when the tray 200 is at the fixed station and / or the separation station, the bottom surface of the tray 200 blocks the first dust collection port 121; as Figure 7As shown, when the tray 200 is at the dust collection station, the first dust collection port 121 is disposed opposite to the dust collection opening 220. In this structure, the first dust collection port 121 of the tray 200 is only exposed at the dust collection station, which can prevent dust in the air from accumulating at the first dust collection port 121 and causing the first dust collection port 121 to be difficult to clean due to dirt.

[0045] Further, as a specific embodiment of the present invention, as Figures 4 to 7 shown, the first dust collection port 121 is provided with a first seal 122; when the tray 200 is at the fixed station, the first seal 122 is disposed between the first dust collection port 121 and the bottom surface of the tray 200; when the tray 200 is at the dust collection station, the first dust collection port 121 is in sealed communication with the dust collection opening 220 through the first seal 122. In this structure, the airtightness of the dust collection path can be improved, the dust collection efficiency can be increased, and it can prevent dust from accumulating at the first dust collection port 121 and causing the first dust collection port 121 to be difficult to clean due to dirt.

[0046] Further, as a specific embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 4 shown, sliding grooves 140 are provided on the groove walls on opposite sides of the accommodation groove 110, and the tray 200 is correspondingly provided with rotatable rollers 230, and the rollers 230 are embedded in the sliding grooves 140. By the cooperation of the rollers 230 and the sliding grooves 140, the tray 200 can be switched between different stations.

[0047] Specifically, as Figure 4 shown, the sliding groove 140 includes a first vertical groove 141 and a transverse groove 143 communicating with the first vertical groove 141. The first vertical groove 141 extends in a direction perpendicular to the bottom surface of the accommodation groove 110, and the transverse groove 143 extends in a direction parallel to the bottom surface of the accommodation groove 110. In this structure, when the roller 230 is located at one end of the first vertical groove 141 close to the bottom surface of the accommodation groove 110, the tray 200 is at the fixed station; when the tray 200 is at the fixed station, the roller 230 moves along the first vertical groove 141 and the transverse groove 143 in sequence and finally stops at one end of the transverse groove 143 far from the first vertical groove 141, that is, the tray 200 first moves along the first vertical groove 141 to one end of the transverse groove 143 close to the first vertical groove 141, and then moves along the transverse groove 143 to one end of the transverse groove 143 far from the first vertical groove 141. At this time, the tray 200 is at the separation station, that is, by moving the tray 200 a certain distance in two different directions respectively, the cleaning robot carried on the tray 200 and the cleaning member temporarily fixed to the locking member 300 are separated.

[0048] Specifically, as Figure 4As shown, the chute 140 further includes a second vertical chute 142. The transverse chute 143 is used to communicate the first vertical chute 141 and the second vertical chute 142. The second vertical chute 142 extends in a direction perpendicular to the bottom surface of the accommodation groove 110. In this structure, when the tray 200 is at the separation station, the roller 230 is at one end of the transverse chute 143 away from the first vertical chute 141. Push the tray 200 and make the roller 230 pass through the transverse chute 143 to reach one end of the second vertical chute 142 close to the bottom surface of the accommodation groove 110, that is, the tray 200 first moves along the transverse chute 143 to one end of the second vertical chute 142 away from the bottom surface of the accommodation groove 110 (i.e., one end of the second vertical chute 142 close to the transverse chute 143), and then moves along the second vertical chute 142 to one end of the second vertical chute 142 close to the bottom surface of the accommodation groove 110 (i.e., one end of the second vertical chute 142 away from the transverse chute 143). At this time, the tray 200 is at the dust collection station, the first dust collection port 121 is disposed opposite to the dust collection opening 220, and the first dust collection port 121 is hermetically communicated with the dust collection opening 220 through the first seal 122.

[0049] Further, as a specific embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 4 shown, the base further includes a cleaning mechanism 400 detachably connected to the base body 100. The cleaning mechanism 400 is used to clean the cleaning parts, so that the user does not need to manually clean the cleaning parts, reducing the workload of the user and improving the user experience.

[0050] Further, as a specific embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 8 and Figure 9 shown, the cleaning mechanism 400 includes a cleaning component 410. The cleaning component 410 includes an upper cleaning plate 411, a lower cleaning plate 412 slidably connected below the upper cleaning plate 411 along the length direction of the upper cleaning plate 411, and a cleaning driving member 413 for driving the upper cleaning plate 411 and the lower cleaning plate 412 to slide relatively. A plurality of first comb teeth 4111 are provided at intervals along the length direction of the upper cleaning plate 411, and a plurality of second comb teeth 4121 are provided at intervals on the lower cleaning plate 412 corresponding to the plurality of first comb teeth 4111. In this embodiment, a guide groove 4122 is provided on the lower cleaning plate 412, and a slide rail 4112 embedded in the guide groove 4122 is provided on the upper cleaning plate 411, so that the upper cleaning plate 411 and the lower cleaning plate 412 are slidably connected; the cleaning driving member 413 is electrically connected to the control component, and the control component can control the working state of the cleaning driving member 413.

[0051] The cleaning principle of the cleaning component 410 is as follows: When the cleaning part is at the fixed station, the bristles or mop of the cleaning part are arranged on the cleaning component 410. The bristles or mop pass through the gaps between two adjacent first comb teeth 4111 and are located in the gaps between the corresponding two adjacent second comb teeth 4121. The cleaning driving part 413 drives the upper cleaning plate 411 and the lower cleaning plate 412 to slide relative to each other, so that the second comb teeth 4121 brush the bristles or mop, and dirt can be removed, thus completing the cleaning.

[0052] Further, as a specific embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 9 shown, the cleaning driving part 413 is a motor. The cleaning component 410 further includes an operating part 414 fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor and a connecting part 415 fixedly connected to the lower cleaning plate 412. An eccentric shaft 4141 is provided at the free end of the operating part 414. The eccentric shaft 4141 is arranged deviating from the axis of the output shaft of the motor. A slot 4151 for inserting the eccentric shaft 4141 is formed on the connecting part 415. In this structure, when the output shaft of the motor drives the operating part 414 to rotate together, since the eccentric shaft 4141 of the operating part 414 is arranged deviating from the axis of the output shaft of the motor, the connecting part 415 and the lower cleaning plate 412 cooperating with the eccentric shaft 4141 can slide left and right relative to the upper cleaning plate 411. In this embodiment, the slot 4151 can be a waist-shaped groove. Of course, according to the actual situation selection and specific requirements, the shape of the slot 4151 can be appropriately modified, and it is not uniquely limited here.

[0053] Further, as a specific embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 8 shown, the cleaning mechanism 400 further includes an upper shell 420 and a lower shell 430 detachably connected to the upper shell 420. The upper shell 420 and the lower shell 430 can be detachably connected by using a screw connection method specifically. The cleaning component 410 is clamped between the upper shell 420 and the lower shell 430. The upper shell 420, the cleaning component 410 and the lower shell 430 jointly enclose a cleaning cavity. In this structure, the dirt washed off by the cleaning component 410 falls into the cleaning cavity, and the user can disassemble the upper shell 420 and the lower shell 430 to clean the dirt.

[0054] Further, as a specific embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 8 shown, the cleaning mechanism 400 further includes a lead-out part 440 clamped between the upper shell 420 and the lower shell 430. The lead-out part 440 is provided with a dust discharge port 441 communicating with the cleaning cavity. Combining Figure 4, a second dust collection pipeline 130 and a second dust collection port 131 communicating with the second dust collection pipeline 130 are provided on the seat body 100. The second dust collection port 131 is disposed opposite to and communicating with the dust discharge port 441, so that dirt in the cleaning cavity can be collected. In this embodiment, the second dust collection pipeline 130 is connected in parallel with the first dust collection pipeline 120. Therefore, the second dust collection pipeline 130 and the first dust collection pipeline 120 can share a negative pressure source to facilitate the absorption and collection of dust and dirt.

[0055] Further, as a specific embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 8 shown, the cleaning mechanism 400 further includes a second seal 450 disposed at the dust discharge port 441. The second seal 450 is in interference fit between the second dust collection port 131 and the dust discharge port 441, so that the second dust collection port 131 and the dust discharge port 441 are in sealed communication.

[0056] Further, as a specific embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 8 shown, the locking member 300 is fixed to the cleaning mechanism 400. When the cleaning mechanism 400 is assembled on the seat body 100, the locking member 300 is located in the receiving groove 110. Specifically, the base of the embodiment of the present invention is provided with four locking members 300, two of which are fixed to the upper shell 420 of the cleaning mechanism 400, and the other two locking members 300 are fixed to the lower shell 430 of the cleaning mechanism 400.

[0057] Further, as a specific embodiment of the present invention, the lower shell 430 is provided with a water inlet (not shown in the figure) and a drain outlet (not shown in the figure) communicating with the cleaning cavity. In this structure, water can be introduced into the cleaning cavity through the water inlet to clean the cleaning part, and the sewage can be discharged through the drain outlet. In this embodiment, as Figure 8 shown, the cleaning mechanism 400 further includes a third seal 460 disposed on the upper shell 420. When the cleaning part is temporarily fixed on the locking member 300, the third seal 460 is in interference fit between the upper shell 420 and the cleaning part, which can prevent the water in the cleaning cavity from leaking out.

[0058] It should be noted that in the base of the embodiment of the present invention, when it is necessary to switch the tray 200 to different working positions in the receiving groove 110 of the seat body 100, the tray 200 can be lifted by a manipulator, so that the rollers 230 of the tray 200 move along the sliding groove 140 to the corresponding working position. Of course, according to the selection of the actual situation and specific requirements, the tray 200 can also be lifted manually to make the rollers 230 of the tray 200 move along the sliding groove 140 to the corresponding working position, which is not uniquely limited herein.

[0059] An embodiment of the present invention further provides a robot base station, including the base as described above. Compared with the prior art, the base of the embodiment of the present invention can realize the separation between the cleaning robot and the cleaning part. Users do not need to pick the cleaning part off the cleaning robot from the gap between the cleaning part and the cleaning robot with their nails or other tools.
