[0053] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in this specification have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art of the present invention. The terms used in the specification of the present invention are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0054] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 One embodiment of the present invention provides a docking station 100, comprising a base 10, a cleaning assembly 20 and a cleaning component assembly 30. The cleaning component 20 and the cleaning component assembly 30 are both assembled on the base 10. The base 10 is used for the cleaning robot to dock. After the cleaning robot docks on the base 10, the cleaning component assembly 30 can scrape and clean the part to be cleaned of the cleaning robot. The part to be cleaned can be a mop, and in fact, can be any part of the cleaning robot. The cleaning component 20 is used to release cleaning liquid to the cleaning component assembly 30 and / or the part to be cleaned of the cleaning robot docked on the base 10 to improve the cleaning efficiency.

[0055] It should be noted that since the cleaning component assembly 30 directly acts on the part to be cleaned of the cleaning robot by scraping, the cleaning liquid can be released only on the part to be cleaned of the cleaning robot, or only on the cleaning component assembly 30, or on the part to be cleaned of the cleaning robot and the cleaning component assembly 30 at the same time.

[0056] It can be understood that, according to actual needs, for example, when the cleaning robot can be cleaned by scraping only with the cleaning component assembly 30, the cleaning component 20 can be omitted.

[0057] The base 10 includes a docking plate (not shown) and a waste liquid tank 12 .

[0058] The docking plate is used to park the cleaning robot. The waste liquid tank 12 is arranged below the docking plate, and the cleaning component assembly 30 and the cleaning component 30 are both accommodated in the waste liquid tank 12. An opening is provided on the docking plate, and the opening is used to expose the cleaning component assembly 30 so that the cleaning component assembly 30 can scrape and clean the part to be cleaned docked on the docking plate. The waste liquid tank 12 can collect the waste liquid formed after the cleaning robot is cleaned by the cleaning liquid to prevent the waste liquid from polluting the environment.

[0059] The waste liquid tank 12 includes a bottom wall 120 and a side wall 122 . The side wall 122 extends from the periphery of the bottom wall 120 toward the top of the bottom wall 120 . The docking plate is opposite to the bottom wall 120 and connected to the side wall 122 .

[0060] The base 10 includes an inclined surface 124. The inclined surface 124 extends obliquely from the edge of the docking plate toward the bottom of the docking plate, and the cleaning robot can reach or leave the docking plate through the inclined surface 124.

[0061] It can be understood that, according to actual needs, the inclined surface 124 can also be arranged on a structure outside the waste liquid tank 12, and the present application does not limit this.

[0062] The cleaning assembly 20 includes a nozzle support 22 and at least one nozzle 24. Each nozzle 24 is fixed to the bottom wall 120 through the nozzle support 22. The nozzle support 22 can be fixed to the bottom wall 120 by screws or welded to the bottom wall 120.

[0063] When the cleaning assembly 20 includes at least two spray heads 24 , the at least two spray heads 24 are arranged along a straight line S. The straight line S may be parallel to the bottom wall 120 .

[0064] The at least one spray head 24 is directed toward the cleaning member assembly 20 and / or the cleaning robot docked at the base 10 , and is used to release cleaning liquid to the cleaning member assembly 20 and / or the cleaning robot docked at the base 10 .

[0065] There are two cleaning components 20. The two cleaning components 20 are respectively arranged at two opposite sides of the cleaning component 30, which can improve the cleaning efficiency.

[0066] The docking station 100 further includes a container 40 and a cleaning liquid pump 50. The container 40 includes a cleaning liquid tank 42. The cleaning liquid tank 42 is connected to the cleaning liquid pump 50 and the cleaning assembly 20. The cleaning liquid tank 42 is used to store cleaning liquid, and the cleaning liquid pump 50 is used to transport the cleaning liquid stored in the cleaning liquid tank 42 to the cleaning assembly 20 to provide the cleaning liquid to the cleaning assembly 20.

[0067] The cleaning liquid tank 42 is connected to the cleaning assembly 20 via a cleaning liquid delivery pipe 43. It can be understood that, according to actual needs, the cleaning liquid delivery pipe 43 can be omitted, for example, the cleaning liquid tank 42 is arranged adjacent to the cleaning assembly 20 so that the cleaning liquid tank 42 can be directly connected to the cleaning assembly 20.

[0068] The container 40 also includes a waste liquid tank 44 .

[0069] The docking station 100 further includes a waste liquid pump (not shown).

[0070] The waste liquid bin 44 is connected to the waste liquid tank 12 and the waste liquid pump. The waste liquid pump is used to pump the waste liquid in the waste liquid tank 12 to the waste liquid bin 44.

[0071] The waste liquid bin 44 is connected to the waste liquid tank 12 via a waste liquid delivery pipe 45. It is understood that, according to actual needs, the waste liquid delivery pipe 45 can be omitted, for example, the waste liquid bin 44 is disposed adjacent to the waste liquid tank 12 so that the waste liquid bin 44 can be directly connected to the waste liquid tank 12.

[0072] The bottom of the waste liquid bin 44 is connected to the bottom of the cleaning liquid bin 42, and the top of the waste liquid bin 44 is connected to the waste liquid tank 12. A filter structure 46 is provided between the top and the bottom of the waste liquid bin 44. When the waste liquid enters the waste liquid bin 44 from the waste liquid tank 12, it reaches the filter structure 46 under the action of gravity. The filter structure 46 is used to separate the cleaning liquid and dirt in the waste liquid, wherein the separated cleaning liquid passes through the filter structure 46 and enters the bottom of the waste liquid bin 44. Since the bottom of the waste liquid bin 44 is connected to the bottom of the cleaning liquid bin 42, the cleaning liquid can enter the cleaning liquid bin 42 to recycle the cleaning liquid, and the separated dirt stays on the filter structure 46. The filter structure 46 can be taken out from the waste liquid bin 44 to remove the dirt later.

[0073] The filtering structure 46 includes multiple layers of filter plates with holes, each of which is arranged horizontally, and multiple layers of the filter plates are arranged in a vertical direction.

[0074] The cleaning member assembly 30 includes a power source 31 , a guide rail 32 , a first bracket 33 , a second bracket 34 , and at least one cleaning member 35 .

[0075] The guide rail 32 is fixed to the base 10, the first bracket 33 is mounted on the guide rail 32, and the second bracket 34 is fixed to the base 10. Each cleaning member 35 is mounted on the first bracket 33 and the second bracket 34. The power source 31 is mounted on the base 10 and connected to the first bracket 33, and is used to drive the first bracket 33 to reciprocate along the straight line S, so as to drive each cleaning member 35 to swing around a central axis O through the first bracket 33, thereby realizing the cleaning member assembly 30 to scrape and clean the cleaning robot. The central axis O around which each cleaning member 35 swings is perpendicular to the straight line S.

[0076] The central axis O may be parallel to the bottom wall 120 .

[0077] The power source 31 includes a linear motor 310 and a motor fixing seat 312. The linear motor 310 is fixed to the bottom wall 120 via the motor fixing seat 312.

[0078] The motor fixing seat 312 is fixed to the bottom wall 120 by screws, and can also be fixed to the bottom wall 120 by welding according to actual needs.

[0079] The output end of the linear motor 310 is connected to the first bracket 33 for driving the first bracket 33 to move back and forth along the straight line S.

[0080] There are two linear motors 310 , and the output ends of the two linear motors 310 are respectively connected to the two ends of the first bracket 33 , so as to drive the first bracket 33 to move along the straight line S relatively stably.

[0081] It is understandable that, according to actual needs, the number of the linear motor 310 may be only one, for example, the output end of the linear motor 310 is connected to the portion between the two ends of the first bracket 33 .

[0082] It is understandable that, according to actual needs, the motor fixing seat 312 can be omitted, for example, the linear motor 310 can be directly fixed on the bottom wall 120 .

[0083] It is understandable that, according to actual needs, the linear motor 310 can also be replaced by a drive device such as a cylinder, a rotary motor, etc. When the linear motor 310 is replaced by a rotary motor, the rotary motor needs to be connected to the first bracket 33 through a transmission mechanism such as a worm gear, a lead screw, etc.

[0084] The guide rail 32 includes a guide rod 320 and a guide rod fixing seat 322 .

[0085] The length direction of the guide rod 320 is parallel to the straight line S.

[0086] Both ends of the guide rod 320 are fixed to the bottom wall 120 through the guide rod fixing seat 322. The guide rod fixing seat 322 is fixed to the bottom wall 120 by screws, and can also be welded to the bottom wall 120 according to actual needs.

[0087] It can be understood that, according to actual needs, the guide rod fixing seat 322 can be omitted. For example, the two ends of the guide rod 320 are respectively fixed to two opposite positions of the side wall 122 .

[0088] The guide rod 320 is sleeved in the first bracket 33 and can guide the first bracket 33 to move along the length direction of the guide rod 320 .

[0089] There are three guide rods 320. Among the three guide rods 320, two guide rods 320 are respectively sleeved at the two ends of the first bracket 33, and the remaining guide rod 320 is sleeved between the two ends of the first bracket 33. The three guide rods 320 can guide the first bracket 33 to move along the straight line S relatively smoothly.

[0090] It is understandable that the guide rail 32 can be omitted according to actual needs. For example, the driving source 31 can output a large thrust or pull, and the guide rail 32 is not needed for guidance, and the first bracket 33 can also be ensured to reciprocate along the straight line S.

[0091] The first bracket 33 includes a first main body portion 330 , and a guide hole portion 332 , a connecting portion 334 , and at least one first swinging portion 336 disposed on the first main body portion 330 .

[0092] A through slot 3300 is provided on the first main body portion 330 . The through slot 3300 is used to accommodate the at least one cleaning member 35 .

[0093] The guide hole portion 332 is used to be sleeved outside the guide rod 320. There are three guide hole portions 332. Among the three guide hole portions 332, two guide hole portions 332 respectively penetrate the two ends of the first main body portion 330, and the remaining guide hole portion 332 penetrates the first main body portion 330 between its two ends. Each guide hole portion 332 is used to be sleeved outside one guide rod 320.

[0094] The connecting portion 334 is used to connect the output end of the linear motor 310 . There are two connecting portions 334 . The two connecting portions 334 are respectively disposed at two opposite sides of the first main body 330 , and each connecting portion 334 is used to connect an output end of the linear motor 310 .

[0095] It can be understood that, according to actual needs, the connecting portion 334 can be omitted. For example, the output end of the linear motor 310 can be directly connected to the first main body 330 .

[0096] Each of the first swinging portions 336 is used to assemble one of the cleaning members 35 .

[0097] The first bracket 33 includes at least two first swinging portions 336 , and each two first swinging portions 336 are opposite to each other and are respectively disposed on two opposite groove walls of the through groove 3300 .

[0098] Each two opposite first swinging portions 336 are used to assemble one cleaning member 35 .

[0099] Each of the first swinging parts 336 includes an axial hole structure, and a center line of the axial hole structure coincides with a central axis O.

[0100] The second bracket 34 includes a second main body 340 and at least one first sliding portion 342 disposed on the second main body 340 .

[0101] The second main body 340 is substantially in a strip-shaped structure, and its length direction is parallel to the straight line S. The second main body 340 is fixed to the bottom wall 120 by screws, and can also be fixed to the bottom wall 120 by welding according to actual needs.

[0102] Each of the first sliding portions 342 is used for assembling one of the cleaning members 35 .

[0103] Each of the first sliding portions 342 includes a slide groove structure. The length direction of the slide groove structure is perpendicular to the bottom wall 120, one end of the slide groove structure is close to the bottom wall 120, and the other end is far away from the bottom wall.

[0104] It can be understood that, according to actual needs, the angle between the length direction of the slide groove structure and the bottom wall 120 can also be other angles, as long as the slide groove structure is not parallel to the bottom wall 120. However, in order to ensure the swinging stability of each cleaning member 35, the angle between the length direction of the slide groove structure and the bottom wall is 60 degrees to 90 degrees.

[0105] There are two second brackets 34. The two second brackets 34 are located opposite to each other.

[0106] Each of the cleaning members 35 includes a base 350 , a scraping portion 352 , a second swinging portion 354 , and a second sliding portion 356 . The scraping portion 352 and the second swinging portion 354 are both connected to one end of the base 350 , and the second sliding portion 356 is connected to the other end of the base 350 .

[0107] The base 350 of each cleaning member 35 is disposed in the through groove 3300 .

[0108] The scraping portion 352 of each cleaning member 35 is used to scrape the cleaning robot when the cleaning member 35 swings.

[0109] The second swinging portion 354 of each cleaning member 35 is used to be assembled on one of the first swinging portions 336 .

[0110] Each of the cleaning members 35 comprises two second swinging portions 354. The two second swinging portions 336 of each of the cleaning members are respectively disposed at two opposite sides of the base 350 of the cleaning member 35. Each two opposite first swinging portions 336 are respectively used to assemble the two second swinging portions 336 of one of the cleaning members.

[0111] The second swinging portion 354 includes a shaft structure. The center line of the shaft structure coincides with the center axis O around which the cleaning member 35 swings. The shaft structure of each cleaning member 35 is used to be inserted into an axial hole structure of the first swinging portion 336, and the shaft structure can swing in the axial hole structure, so that the cleaning member 35 can swing relative to the first bracket 33.

[0112] The second sliding portion 356 of each cleaning member 35 is used to be assembled on one of the first sliding portions 342 .

[0113] Each of the cleaning members 35 includes two second sliding portions 336. The two second sliding portions 336 of each of the cleaning members 35 are respectively disposed at two opposite sides of the base 350 of the cleaning member 35. The two second sliding portions 336 of each of the cleaning members 35 are used to assemble a first sliding portion 342 of two second brackets 34, respectively.

[0114] The second sliding portion 356 includes a sliding shaft structure. The center line of the sliding shaft structure of each cleaning member 35 is parallel to the central axis O around which the cleaning member 35 swings.

[0115] The sliding shaft structure of each cleaning member 35 is used to be inserted into a sliding groove structure of the first sliding portion 342, and the sliding shaft structure can reciprocate along the length direction of the sliding groove structure to constrain the cleaning member 35 when the first bracket 33 moves, so that the cleaning member 35 swings relative to the first bracket 33.

[0116] See also Figures 4 to 6After the linear motor 310 is started, it drives the first bracket 33 to reciprocate along the straight line S relative to the second bracket 34. In each of the cleaning components 35, the rotating shaft structure swings in the shaft hole structure. At the same time, the sliding shaft structure reciprocates along the slide groove structure to make the cleaning component 35 swing relative to the first bracket 33, thereby making the scraping part 352 swing to scrape and clean the cleaning robot.

[0117] When the first bracket 33 moves to an extreme position along the straight line S, each cleaning member 35 swings to an extreme angle, and the sliding shaft structure of the cleaning member 35 slides along the slide groove structure to the top of the slide groove structure (see Figure 4 ); When the first bracket 33 moves to another extreme position, each of the cleaning members 35 swings to another extreme position, and the sliding shaft structure of the cleaning member 35 slides along the slide groove structure to the top of the slide groove structure (see Figure 5 ); When the first bracket 33 moves to the middle position between the two extreme positions, each of the cleaning members swings to the middle angle between the two extreme angles, perpendicular to the bottom wall 120, and the sliding shaft structure of the cleaning member 35 slides along the slide groove structure to the bottom end of the slide groove structure (see Figure 6 ).

[0118] It can be understood that, according to actual needs, the first bracket 33 can also be fixed to the base 10, and the power source 31 is connected to the second bracket 34 to drive the second bracket 34 to move along the straight line S. The second bracket 34 can also drive each cleaning member 35 to swing around the central axis O relative to the first bracket 33. Therefore, as long as the first bracket 33 and the second bracket 34 meet the following conditions:

[0119] One of the first bracket 33 and the second bracket 34 is a fixed bracket, and the other is a movable bracket. The fixed bracket is fixed to the base 10, and the power source 31 is connected to the movable bracket for driving the movable bracket to move along the straight line S relative to the base 10.

[0120] It can be understood that, according to actual needs, the position of the rotating shaft structure can be interchanged with the position of the shaft hole structure, that is, the first swinging portion 336 includes the rotating shaft structure, and the second swinging portion 354 includes the shaft hole structure.

[0121] It can be understood that, according to actual needs, the position of the sliding shaft structure can be interchanged with the position of the sliding groove structure, that is, the first sliding part 342 includes a sliding shaft structure, and the second sliding part 356 includes a sliding groove structure, and the length direction of the sliding groove structure is set parallel to the length direction of the base 350.

[0122] It can be understood that, according to actual needs, the first bracket 33 can also be arranged between the second bracket 34 and the bottom wall 120. Accordingly, in each of the cleaning members 35, the scraping portion 352 and the second sliding portion 356 are arranged at one end of the base 350, and the second swinging portion 354 is arranged at the other end of the base 350.

[0123] In some embodiments, the second bracket 34 is disposed between the first bracket 33 and the bottom wall 120 to save horizontal space.

[0124] In some embodiments, a receiving groove 338 is formed on the lower surface of the first bracket 33 , and the receiving groove 338 can receive the second bracket 34 , thereby saving vertical space.

[0125] When the cleaning robot needs to clean, the cleaning robot is docked at a preset position on the base 10 , wherein the cleaning robot can reach the preset position of the base 10 by means of infrared sensing, radar detection, map construction, etc.
