In the following description, numerous specific details are provided to give a thorough understanding of embodiments of the disclosure. One skilled in the relevant art will recognize, however, that the techniques of the disclosure can be practiced without one or more of the specific details, or with other methods, components, devices, steps, etc. In other instances, well-known methods, devices, implementations, or operations are not shown or described in detail to avoid obscuring aspects of the disclosure.

[0036] Embodiment One

[0037] As Figures 1-7As shown, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a cleaning system, comprising: a first cleaning device and a second cleaning device; the first cleaning device has a sterilization structure, and the second cleaning device has a first to-be-cleaned part; the sterilization structure 31 sterilizes the first to-be-cleaned part. One of the first cleaning device and the second cleaning device is a base station 1, and the other is a cleaning robot 2; the base station 1 has a parking position 131 for parking the cleaning robot 2; the sterilization structure 31 sterilizes the first to-be-cleaned part when the cleaning robot 2 is located at the parking position 131.

[0038] That is, for the two cleaning devices of the base station 1 and the cleaning robot 2, one with the sterilization structure 31 is defined as the first cleaning device, and one with the first to-be-cleaned part is defined as the second cleaning device. That is, the sterilization process requires the cooperation of the base station 1 and the cleaning robot 2.

[0039] Further, referring to Figures 1-2 , Figure 1 is a schematic view before the cleaning robot 2 enters the base station 1, Figure 2 is a schematic view after the cleaning robot 2 enters the base station 1, and the cleaning robot 2 can clean the external environment before entering the parking position 131 of the base station 1, such as dusting the ground. Correspondingly, the cleaning robot 2 comprises a walking assembly and a cleaning module, a storage module. Among them, the walking assembly can be used to drive the cleaning robot to move, the cleaning module can clean the external environment, and the storage module can store the dirt cleaned from the external environment. After the cleaning robot 2 enters the parking position 131 of the base station 1, the base station 1 can charge, replace water, and clean the cleaning robot 2. Referring to Figure 3 , Figure 3 is an exploded view of the base station 1, which comprises a base 111 and a base top 112, and the base top 112 is located on the base 111, and the two form a containing cavity 132. The cleaning robot 2 can enter and exit the containing cavity 132, that is, the parking position 131 is arranged in the containing cavity 132. Further, the parking position 131 is located in the base 111. In addition, the containing cavity 132 of the base top 112 can be provided with a storage structure and various electrical components.

[0040] In this embodiment, the base station 1 is provided with a cleaning tank 12 for cleaning the cleaning robot 2, that is, the cleaning tank 12 is arranged in the parking position 131. Further, the parking position 131 can be provided with a sewage collection cavity 151. The sewage collection cavity 151 can be located below the cleaning tank 12 and is used to collect the sewage in the cleaning tank 12. A partition plate can be arranged between the cleaning tank 12 and the sewage collection cavity 151, that is, the partition plate is used to divide the two areas of the cleaning tank 12 and the sewage collection cavity 151.

[0041] Further referring to Figure 3The sewage collecting cavity 151 comprises a support portion 152. When the sewage collecting cavity 151 is placed in the accommodating cavity 132, the support portion 152 is inclined upward away from the side of the entrance of the parking position 131. When the cleaning robot 2 enters the parking position 131, the cleaning robot 2 is located on the support portion 152, and the bottom of the cleaning robot 2 is spaced apart from the bottom of the base station 1. That is, when the cleaning robot 2 enters the parking position 131, the cleaning robot 2 can climb along the slope of the support portion 152 and place the mop 18 above the sewage collecting cavity 151. That is, the mop 18 can be located inside the cleaning tank 12. In this way, sufficient cleaning position can be provided for the mop 18 of the cleaning robot 2, thereby improving the cleaning degree.

[0042] With reference to the foregoing Figure 3 The accommodating cavity 132 further comprises a cleaning member 14 which can clean the bottom of the cleaning robot 2. The sewage generated after cleaning can be collected by the sewage collecting cavity 151. The cleaning member 14 is in a fixed state, and can comprise a connecting plate and a protruding portion. The connecting plate is fixedly connected to the upper portion of the sewage collecting cavity 151, and the protruding portion is arranged on the connecting plate. The mechanical friction decontamination can be achieved by the relative movement between the protruding portion and the mop 18 on the cleaning robot 2. The cleaning member 14 can also be movable, for example, driven by electricity. When the cleaning member 14 is movable, the mechanical friction decontamination can be achieved by driving the cleaning member 14 to rotate and move relative to the bottom of the cleaning robot 2.

[0043] In the embodiment, the sterilization mode of the base station 1 and the cleaning robot 2 in cooperation mainly comprises the following two examples.

[0044] Example one, with reference to the foregoing Figure 4 The first cleaning device is the cleaning robot 2, and the second cleaning device is the base station 1. That is, the sterilization structure 31 is arranged on the cleaning robot 2 and sterilizes the first cleaning part of the base station 1.

[0045] Example two, with reference to the foregoing Figure 5 The first cleaning device is the base station 1, and the second cleaning device is the cleaning robot 2. That is, the sterilization structure 31 is arranged on the base station 1 and sterilizes the first cleaning part of the cleaning robot 2.

[0046] The following will describe the above two examples in detail in combination with the structures related to the sterilization process.

[0047] With reference to the foregoing Figures 4-5 The sterilization structure 31 can be a sterilization gas generator which introduces the sterilization gas generated into the first cleaning part of the second cleaning device. In one example, the sterilization gas generator can be an ozone generator. Ozone has good sterilization effect and can improve the cleaning degree of the first cleaning part.

[0048] The first cleaning device can further comprise a sterilization gas output end connected with the sterilization gas generator; the second cleaning device further comprises a sterilization gas docking end connected with the first part to be cleaned; the sterilization gas docking end is docked with the sterilization gas output end in the state that the cleaning robot 2 enters the containing cavity 132, and the sterilization gas passes through the sterilization gas output end and the sterilization gas docking end in sequence and is transmitted to the first part to be cleaned. In this way, the sterilization gas can be accurately transmitted to the first part to be cleaned, so that the sterilization effect on the first part to be cleaned can be improved, and sterilization gas leakage can be avoided.

[0049] For example, the sterilization gas docking end can be a sterilization gas interface, and the sterilization gas output end can be a sterilization gas outlet.

[0050] Further, in Example One, as shown in Figure 4 , the cleaning robot 2 can be provided with a sterilization gas output end, and the base station 1 can be further provided with a sterilization gas docking end. When the cleaning robot 2 walks from the ground into the base station 1, the sterilization structure 31 on the cleaning robot 2 can be docked with the sterilization gas docking end of the base station 1 through the sterilization gas output end to maintain the first part to be cleaned of the base station 1. In Example Two, as shown in Figure 5 , the base station 1 is provided with a sterilization gas output end, and the cleaning robot 2 is provided with a sterilization gas docking end. When the cleaning robot 2 walks from the ground into the base station 1, the sterilization structure 31 on the base station 1 can be docked with the sterilization gas docking end of the cleaning robot 2 through the sterilization gas output end, so as to maintain the first part to be cleaned of the cleaning robot 2.

[0051] Referring to Figures 4-5 , the cleaning system can further comprise a sterilization gas output pipeline 33, i.e., the transmission structure of the sterilization gas can be a pipeline structure. The sterilization gas output pipeline 33 can be connected between the sterilization gas output end and the sterilization gas docking end, so that the sterilization gas can be transmitted at a long distance, and the first parts to be cleaned at multiple different positions can be selected for sterilization. In other examples, the sterilization gas output end can also be directly connected with the sterilization gas docking end. Alternatively, the sterilization gas output end can also be connected with the sterilization gas docking end through a cavity structure.

[0052] Specifically, in Example One, referring to Figure 4 , the sterilization gas output pipeline 33 is arranged in the base station 1. The sterilization gas output pipeline 33 communicates the sterilization structure 31 and the first part to be cleaned of the base station 1. In Example Two, referring to Figure 5 , the sterilization gas output pipeline 33 is arranged in the cleaning robot 2, and the sterilization gas output pipeline 33 communicates the sterilization structure 31 and the first part to be cleaned of the cleaning robot 2.

[0053] In combination with reference to Figures 4-7The cleaning system can further comprise a sterilization gas temporary storage structure 32. The sterilization gas temporary storage structure 32 is connected to the sterilization gas generator and the sterilization gas output pipeline 33.

[0054] For example, in Example One, referring to Figure 4 The sterilization gas temporary storage structure 32 can be located below the sterilization gas output pipeline 33 to collect the sterilization gas flowing back from the sterilization gas output pipeline 33. For example, if the sterilization gas is ozone, the molecular weight of ozone is larger than that of the air outside, so part of the ozone molecules will flow back to the sterilization gas temporary storage structure 32. Subsequently, when the first cleaning device is opened or disassembled, the leakage of ozone remaining in the sterilization gas output pipeline 33 can be avoided.

[0055] In Example Two, referring to Figure 5 The sterilization gas temporary storage structure 32 can also be arranged in the same layer as the sterilization gas output pipeline 33. Since the two are connected, the sterilization gas temporary storage structure 32 can also collect part of the sterilization gas in the sterilization gas output pipeline 33, thereby reducing the degree of sterilization gas leakage.

[0056] In addition, a heating structure can also be arranged on the base station 1 or the cleaning robot 2. The heating structure can heat the sterilization gas output pipeline 33 or the sterilization gas temporary storage structure 32, thereby decomposing the sterilization gas inside, avoiding harm to the human body caused by sterilization gas leakage.

[0057] The first cleaning part comprises at least one of the sewage tank, the dust box and the clean water tank, that is, the first cleaning part can be one or more. In Example One, referring to Figure 4 When the first cleaning device is the cleaning robot 2, the first cleaning part of the base station 1 can be the first sewage tank 16, and correspondingly, the sterilization gas docking end can be connected to the first sewage tank 16. In addition, the first cleaning part can also be the first clean water tank 17 or the first dust box (not shown). In Example Two, referring to Figure 5 When the first cleaning device is the base station 1, the first cleaning part of the cleaning robot 2 can be the second sewage tank 21, and correspondingly, the sterilization gas docking end can be connected to the second sewage tank 21. In addition, the first cleaning part can also be the second dust box 22 or the second clean water tank 23.

[0058] When the first cleaning part is a sewage tank, the cleaning system can further comprise a sewage filtering structure (not shown). The sewage filtering structure is connected to the sewage tank and is used to guide the filtered sewage into the sewage tank; the sterilization structure 31 sterilizes the sewage tank and the filtered sewage. In Example One, referring to Figure 4 The sterilization structure 31 sterilizes the first sewage tank 16 and the filtered sewage. In Example Two, referring to Figure 5The sterilization structure 31 sterilizes the second sewage tank 21 and the filtered sewage. In addition, the sterilization structure 31 can also sterilize the sewage filtering structure.

[0059] It can be understood that, after filtering the sewage, sterilization treatment is performed, which can improve the sterilization efficiency, thereby greatly reducing the breeding of bacteria.

[0060] It should be noted that, in other embodiments, the sterilization structure 31 can also not be provided as a sterilization gas generator, but can be provided as an ultraviolet sterilization structure or a high-temperature sterilization structure. Correspondingly, the sterilization gas output end, the sterilization gas docking end, the sterilization gas temporary storage structure 32, and the sterilization gas output pipeline 33 and other structures do not need to be provided. As long as the base station 2 and the cleaning robot 2 can jointly sterilize.

[0061] In summary, the base station 1 cooperates with the cleaning robot 2, and one of the two can sterilize the other, thereby improving the cleaning degree and avoiding the breeding of bacteria.

[0062] Embodiment Two

[0063] As shown in Figures 8-9 , the present embodiment provides a cleaning system, and the present embodiment is substantially the same as embodiment one, and the main difference is that in the present embodiment, the first cleaning device can also sterilize its own second to-be-cleaned part. The same or similar parts of the present embodiment as the foregoing embodiments are referred to the detailed description of the foregoing embodiments, and will not be described here.

[0064] Specifically, the first cleaning device further comprises a second to-be-cleaned part and a first adapter 34a, the first adapter 34a is connected with the second to-be-cleaned part and the sterilization structure 31; and the sterilization structure 31 sterilizes the second to-be-cleaned part when the first adapter 34a is in an open state. That is, by providing the first adapter 34a, the first cleaning device can have multiple sterilization gas output paths. Therefore, only one of the base station 1 and the cleaning robot 2 needs to be provided with the sterilization structure 31, and under the joint cooperation of the two, the to-be-cleaned parts of the two can be cleaned by the sterilization structure 31, thereby improving the cleaning degree of the entire cleaning system itself.

[0065] In some specific examples, the first adapter 34a can be a gas conversion joint. The first adapter 34a can be directly connected with the sterilization structure 31 and the second to-be-cleaned part, or can be connected with the sterilization structure 31 and the second to-be-cleaned part through the sterilization gas temporary storage structure 32 or the sterilization gas output pipeline 33 and other structures.

[0066] The following will describe in detail the two joint cooperation sterilization modes of the base station 1 and the cleaning robot 2.

[0067] Example one, refer to Figure 8 The first cleaning device is the cleaning robot 2, and the second cleaning device is the base station 1. That is, the sterilization structure 31 is arranged on the cleaning robot 2, and sterilizes the first to-be-cleaned part of the base station 1 and the second to-be-cleaned part of the cleaning robot 2 itself. Specifically, the second to-be-cleaned part of the cleaning robot 2 itself can be the second sewage tank 21, the second dust box 22, or the second water tank 23, etc. The second to-be-cleaned part can be one or more.

[0068] In this example, a sterilization gas output pipeline 33 can be arranged to connect the first to-be-cleaned part on the base station 1 and the sterilization gas temporary storage structure 32. In addition, since the sterilization structure 31 is close to the second to-be-cleaned part on the cleaning robot 2, the two can be directly connected through the first adapter 34a without connecting through the sterilization gas output pipeline 33. The foregoing connection mode is only illustrative, but is not limited thereto.

[0069] Example two, refer to Figure 9 The first cleaning device is the base station 1, and the second cleaning device is the cleaning robot 2. That is, the sterilization structure 31 is arranged on the base station 1, and sterilizes the first to-be-cleaned part of the cleaning robot 2 and the second to-be-cleaned part of the base station 1 itself.

[0070] Specifically, the second to-be-cleaned part of the base station 1 itself can be the first sewage tank 16, the first water tank 17, or the first dust box (not shown), etc. The second to-be-cleaned part can be one or more.

[0071] In this example, the sterilization gas temporary storage structure 32 can be arranged, and two sterilization gas output pipelines 33 connected with the sterilization gas temporary storage structure 32, one sterilization gas output pipeline 33 is connected with the second to-be-cleaned part on the base station 1, and the other sterilization gas output pipeline 33 is connected with the first to-be-cleaned part on the cleaning robot 2. The foregoing connection mode is only illustrative, but is not limited thereto.

[0072] In addition, the first adapter 34a can be connected with the sterilization structure 31 through the gas temporary storage structure 32, and further connect the second to-be-cleaned part and the sterilization structure 31.

[0073] In summary, in the base station 1 and the cleaning robot 2 cooperate, and through the arrangement of the first adapter 34a, the sterilization structure 31 can clean the base station 1 and the cleaning robot 2, thereby improving the utilization rate of the sterilization structure 31, and at the same time reducing the degree of bacterial growth of the base station 1 and the cleaning robot 2.

[0074] Example three

[0075] As Figures 8-9As shown, the embodiment provides a cleaning system, which is substantially the same as the cleaning system of the first embodiment and the second embodiment. The main difference is that the first cleaning device of the embodiment is capable of open sterilization. The same or similar parts of the embodiment are the same as those of the first embodiment and the second embodiment, and will not be described here again.

[0076] Specifically, the first cleaning device further comprises a second adapter 34b having an opening and connected to the sterilization structure 31. It is worth mentioning that the second adapter 34b can be directly connected to the sterilization structure 31, or can be connected to the sterilization structure 31 through the sterilization gas temporary storage structure 32 or the sterilization gas output pipeline 33. The second adapter 34b can be a gas conversion joint, and the gas conversion joint further comprises a valve. The valve can control the opening and closing of the opening. In addition, the second adapter 34b can be integrated with the first adapter 34a described in the second embodiment. Further, the sterilization structure 31 sterilizes at least one of the accommodation cavity 132 of the base station 1, the outer surface of the base station 1, the mop 18 of the cleaning robot 2, the outer surface of the cleaning robot 2, and the external environment through the opening in the open state of the second adapter 34b.

[0077] In addition, the sterilization structure 31 can also sterilize the cleaning tank 12, the cleaning element 14, and the sewage collection cavity 151 in the accommodation cavity 132. That is, the sterilization gas can be released through the opening to sterilize the outer surfaces of the first and second cleaning parts and the external environment, without being limited to the interior of a certain first or second cleaning part. In this way, the sterilization structure 31 can be multifunctional and can be used in various sterilization scenarios.

[0078] In the embodiment, the first cleaning device can be the cleaning robot 2. Since the second cleaning part of the cleaning robot 2 is relatively dense, the sterilization structure 31 is arranged on the cleaning robot 2, which can improve the sterilization efficiency. In addition, since the cleaning robot 2 can freely travel in the external environment, when the sterilization structure 31 sterilizes the external environment, the sterilization range is wider. In other embodiments, the first cleaning device can also be the base station 1.

[0079] The base station 1 further comprises a sealing cover 19 movably mounted in the accommodating cavity 132. For example, the sealing cover 19 is rotatably connected with the base 111 at the entrance, and the rotatable connection realizes opening and closing. Further, when the sealing cover 19 is rotated from the vertical direction to the horizontal position, the sealing cover 19 is in the open state, and when the sealing cover 19 is perpendicular to the horizontal plane, it is in the closed state. It is worth mentioning that, in the state that the sterilization structure 31 sterilizes the outer surface of the cleaning robot 2, the accommodating cavity 132 of the base station 1 and / or the mop 18 of the cleaning robot, the sealing cover 19 seals the accommodating cavity 132. In this way, the cleaning system can also start the above-mentioned sterilization mode when there are people nearby, so as to avoid the overflow of sterilization gas and further affect human health. In addition, the sealing cover 19 can also reduce the noise transmission, thereby improving the user experience.

[0080] The sealing cover 19 can be arranged in various ways. In one example, the sealing cover 19 comprises two oppositely arranged baffles; the two baffles are arranged at the upper and lower parts of the entrance of the parking position 131, or the two baffles are arranged at the left and right sides of the entrance of the parking position 131. The two oppositely arranged baffles can reduce the length of a single baffle and save the occupied volume.

[0081] In another example, the sealing cover 19 comprises a baffle arranged at the upper part of the entrance of the parking position 131. During the entry of the cleaning robot 2, the baffle is first pushed inward, and after complete entry, the baffle swings back to the original position; during the exit of the cleaning robot 2, the baffle is first pushed outward, and after complete exit, the baffle returns to the original position, which is simple in structure. Of course, the baffle can also be arranged at the lower part of the entrance of the parking position 131.

[0082] In another example, a driving part and a sensing part can also be arranged in the base station 1 to realize the opening or closing of the sealing cover 19. The sensing part can automatically sense the cleaning robot 2, and the driving part can automatically open the sealing cover 19 before the cleaning robot 2 enters the base station 1, and automatically close the sealing cover 19 after entering the base station 1.

[0083] In summary, in the embodiment, the cleaning system can perform an open sterilization process, thereby improving the utilization degree of the sterilization structure 31 and being conducive to improving the cleaning degree of the external environment and the cleaning system itself.
