For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0042] Example 1

[0043] like Figure 1-Figure 7 As shown, this embodiment provides a base station for providing cleaning parts to a cleaning device. The cleaning device includes a window wiping device, a floor wiping device, etc., which has cleaning parts for wiping the floor, glass, and other surfaces to be cleaned. In a preferred embodiment, the cleaning device also includes a suction port, a suction pipeline, a control system, etc., which will not be repeated in this embodiment.

[0044] In this embodiment, the cleaning member (not shown) includes a rag, such as a sheet-shaped rag. The upper surface of the rag is covered with Velcro as a connecting surface, and the lower surface of the rag is a cleaning surface. It should be noted that in other embodiments, a cloth with fleece on the upper surface, or a tough paper towel or other cleaning material may also be used.

[0045] Specifically, the base station includes a housing and a supporting device 9 disposed in the housing. The outer surface of the housing is used to place the cleaning device, and a through hole 28 is provided on the housing wall of the housing. The through hole 28 is arranged opposite to the supporting device 9, and the opening area of ​​the through hole 28 is greater than or equal to the surface area of ​​the cleaning member. The supporting device 9 is used to carry the cleaning member, and is used to drive the cleaning member to extend out of the housing to connect with the cleaning device, and is used to drive the cleaning member to be accommodated in the housing.

[0046] Among them, the outer surface of the shell includes at least one outer surface of the shell, such as at least one outer surface of a cylindrical shell, a square shell, a spherical shell, or other shapes of shells. The outer surface can specifically be the upper surface, the lower surface, the left side surface, the right side surface, etc.

[0047] For example, Figure 1 As shown, for a base station placed on the ground or a horizontal plane, the through hole 28 is preferably provided on the shell wall on the top side of the shell. At this time, the relative arrangement between the through hole 28 and the supporting device 9 can be that the through hole 28 is located directly above the supporting device 9.

[0048] Thus, the cleaning member is extended out of the housing and connected to the cleaning device, so that the cleaning member can be installed on the cleaning device, so that the cleaning device can maintain sufficient cleaning ability for a long time. In addition, the operation burden of the user is reduced and the efficiency of replacing the cleaning member is improved.

[0049] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the base station also includes: a door body 6, which is located inside the shell and between the supporting device 9 and the inner surface of the shell. The door body 6 is used to rotate so that the through hole 28 exposes the supporting device 9 or exposes the cleaning part on the supporting device 9. The door body 6 is also used to rotate to cover the through hole 28.

[0050] like Figure 2 As shown, the shell includes a first shell 1, a second shell 3 and an intermediate shell 2. The first shell 1 is connected to the second shell 3. The intermediate shell 2 is located in a space formed by the connection of the first shell 1 and the second shell 3. A channel is provided on the intermediate shell 2. The channel is connected to the through hole 28, and the channel exposes the supporting device 9 or exposes the cleaning parts on the supporting device 9. The cleaning parts on the supporting device 9 are used to extend to the outside through the channel and the through hole 28 in sequence. Specifically, in order to facilitate the production and installation of the shell, the shell is produced by an injection molding process. The shell includes a first shell 1, an intermediate shell 2 and a second shell 3 connected in sequence from top to bottom. The first shell 1 is in contact with the cleaning equipment. The through hole 28 is provided on the first shell 1. The second shell 3 is placed on the ground or other supporting surfaces. The intermediate shell 2 plays a guiding role in the vertical lifting of the supporting device 9. The door body 6 is connected to the intermediate shell 2 and can rotate relative to the intermediate shell 2. As shown Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the intermediate housing 2 is fixed to the bottom of the second housing 3, and an anti-skid pad is provided at the bottom of the second housing 3. The intermediate housing 2 is a hollow housing structure, and the hollow structure cooperates with the supporting device 9, so that the supporting device 9 can be lifted and lowered stably.

[0051] In this embodiment, there are multiple supporting devices 9, multiple channels, and multiple through holes 28, and the multiple supporting devices 9, multiple channels, and multiple through holes 28 correspond one to one. Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, there are two supporting devices 9, more than two channels, and two through holes 28. For example, there are two cleaning pieces at the bottom of the cleaning device, and the cleaning pieces are detachably connected to the cleaning device through a Velcro with a barb on one side and round hair on the other side. Each time it is replaced, each supporting device 9 is equipped with a corresponding cleaning piece for the cleaning device.

[0052] It should be noted that the number of the supporting device 9, the passage and the through hole 28 in this example is two, which is a preference and is not to be interpreted as a limitation on the protection scope. In other embodiments, the number of the supporting device 9 may also be one or three.

[0053] In this embodiment, the base station further includes a first driving device, which is connected to the supporting device 9 and is used to drive the supporting device 9 to move. The first driving device may specifically include a lifting device and a lifting driving device, the lifting device is connected to the supporting device 9 to lift the supporting device 9, and the lifting driving device is used to drive the lifting device.

[0054] like Figure 4 As shown, the lifting drive device includes a lifting motor 17 arranged at the bottom of the housing, and the lifting device includes a vertically arranged lead screw 10 connected to the lifting motor 17. A nut 12 capable of vertical lifting is arranged on the lead screw 10, and the nut 12 is connected to the supporting device 9. The nut 12 is connected to the supporting device 9 through two connecting rods 14. In this embodiment, there are two supporting devices 9, and the nut 12 is preferably located in the middle between the two supporting devices 9.

[0055] In other embodiments, the lifting device may adopt other structural forms such as a slide rail slider, a multi-link, a gear rack, etc., as long as it can drive the supporting device 9 to lift.

[0056] In this embodiment, the base station further includes a second driving device, which is connected to the door body 6 and is used to drive the door body 6 to rotate. Furthermore, the second driving device can realize the opening and closing of the through hole 28 by driving the door body 6 to rotate. When the user uses the base station to replace the cleaning parts of the cleaning equipment, the second driving device drives the door body 6 to open the through hole 28 so that the cleaning parts pass through. When not replacing, the second driving device drives the door body 6 to close the through hole 28 to protect the cleaning parts inside from contamination.

[0057] In this embodiment, the base station further includes a control structure 18, which is connected to the first drive device for controlling the first drive device, and is connected to the second drive device for controlling the second drive device. The control structure, the first drive device, and the second drive device are located between the supporting device 9 and the inner surface of the shell (specifically, the second shell 3).

[0058] For example, the lifting drive device drives the lifting of the lifting device according to the control signal of the control structure 18, thereby driving the supporting device 9 to lift and lower, so that the cleaning pieces stacked on the supporting device 9 rise to expose the through hole 28 and are connected to the cleaning device, and the cleaning pieces stacked on the supporting device 9 fall into the shell. The second drive device drives the door body 6 to open and close according to the control signal of the control structure 18.

[0059] The second driving device includes an opening and closing door motor 16, which is arranged in the housing and drives the door body 6 to rotate and open through the transmission device. The base station also includes an opening and closing detection device, such as an opening and closing sensor, which is used to detect the opening position signal and / or closing position signal of the door body 6 relative to the through hole 28. The opening and closing sensor can be arranged on the door body 6, and the opening and closing sensor 23 sends the door body 6 opening and closing position signals to the control structure 18.

[0060] The transmission device includes a driving wheel 8 connected to the opening and closing door motor 16 and a driven wheel 7 connected to the door body 6. The driving wheel 8 transmits torque to the driven wheel 7 through gear transmission, thereby driving the door body 6 to rotate forward and reverse. In this embodiment, there are two opening and closing devices, so there are two door bodies 6. The driving wheel 8 directly drives one driven wheel 7, and the other driven wheel 7 is driven by an idler wheel, so that the two door bodies 6 are opened to both sides respectively. After opening to the set position, the opening and closing sensor 23 is triggered, and then the opening and closing door motor 16 stops rotating. After the lifting device completes the replacement of the cleaning parts, the opening and closing door motor 16 rotates in the opposite direction, causing the two door bodies 6 to rotate upward to close the through hole 28.

[0061] In this embodiment, a connecting rod 14 is respectively provided at both ends of the nut 12, and both ends of the two connecting rods 14 are respectively connected to the supporting device 9. A rising sensor 13 is provided at the connection between the connecting rod 14 and the supporting device 9, which is used to detect whether the supporting device 9 rises to the position to support the cleaning device. When the rising sensor 13 senses that the pressure exceeds the set value, it determines that the supporting device 9 has supported the cleaning device, and then lowers the supporting device 9. A descending sensor 24 is also provided on the supporting device 9, which is used to detect whether the supporting device 9 has dropped to the lowest set position. When the descending sensor 24 sends a signal of reaching the position, the lifting motor 17 stops descending.

[0062] In this embodiment, the door body 6 is located below the through hole 28. Figure 3As shown, the door body 6 is arc-shaped and configured so that when the door body 6 closes the through hole 28, the convex surface of the arc-shaped door body 6 faces the through hole 28, and at least one end of the arc-shaped door body 6 has a connecting arm 35, and the connecting arm 35 is used to connect a second drive device, such as an opening and closing door motor 16. The opening and closing door motor 16 drives the connecting arm to rotate through a transmission device. Preferably, the connecting arm 35 is fan-shaped. Of course, the connecting arm 35 can also be other shapes. At the same time, in order to cooperate with the arc-shaped opening and closing of the door body 6, the top of the intermediate shell 2 is an arc-shaped that matches it. Optionally, the door body 6 can also be arched.

[0063] The opening and closing device of this embodiment can also adopt a lateral pushing and pulling or outward turning opening and closing structure, but the lateral pushing and pulling will increase the lateral area of ​​the base station, and the outward turning structure, such as opening the door upward, will increase the height of the base station. Therefore, the arc-shaped door body 6 has a small structure volume and can save floor space to the maximum extent. At the same time, when the door body 6 is opened, the door body 6 can be hidden inside the base station, for example, by hiding the opened door body 6 through the outer shell, which is the optimal embodiment.

[0064] It can be understood that when the door body 6 rotates to cover the channel, the door body 6 is located between the through hole and the channel; when the door body 6 rotates to expose the channel, the door body 6 is located in the first gap 36 between the intermediate shell 2 and the first shell 1. For example, the door body 6 can be located in the first gap 36 between the first outer side surface 201 of the intermediate shell 2 and the first inner side surface 101 of the first shell 1. The first gap 36 is an idle space. When the supporting device 9 drives the cleaning part to move, such as driving the cleaning part to rise and fall, the door body 6 can be located in the idle space, which ensures that the setting of the door body 6 does not increase the volume of the base station.

[0065] Optionally, there are two door bodies 6, and the two door bodies 6 rotate in opposite directions to expose the passage; or; the two door bodies 6 rotate in opposite directions to cover the passage.

[0066] The connecting arm 35 is located in the second gap 37 between the middle shell 2 and the first shell 1. For example, the connecting arm 35 can be located in the second gap 37 between the second outer side surface 202 of the middle shell 2 and the second inner side surface 102 of the first shell 1. The second gap 37 is an idle space, and the connecting arm 35 can be located in the idle space, so that the setting of the connecting arm 35 will not increase the volume of the base station.

[0067] The control structure 18 can be arranged at the bottom of the housing, the control structure 18 is electrically connected to the lifting device, and a waterproof plate 15 is arranged above the control structure 18 to prevent water from entering the control structure 18. The so-called control structure 18 can be a central processing unit (CPU), or other general-purpose processors, digital signal processors (DSP), application-specific integrated circuits (ASIC), field-programmable gate arrays (FPGA) or other programmable logic devices, discrete gates or transistor logic devices, discrete hardware components, etc. The general-purpose processor can be a microprocessor or the processor can also be any conventional processor, etc.

[0068] The control process of the control structure 18 includes, in the first control cycle, sending control signals to the lifting drive device and the opening and closing drive device, so that the opening and closing drive device drives the opening and closing device to open the through hole 28, and the lifting drive device drives the lifting device to rise, so that the cleaning member in the supporting device 9 extends out of the shell from the through hole 28 to connect with the cleaning device. In the second control cycle, sending control signals to the lifting drive device and the opening and closing drive device, the lifting drive device drives the lifting device to descend, and after a preset delay, the opening and closing drive device drives the opening and closing device to make the cleaning member in the supporting device 9 fall from the through hole 28 into the shell, and then the opening and closing device closes the through hole 28.

[0069] like Figure 2 As shown, a water channel 26 is provided in the housing, and the water channel 26 is used to collect sewage flowing into the through hole 28 when the door body 6 closes the through hole 28. A drainage hole 27 is also provided on the housing, and the drainage hole 27 cooperates with the water channel 26 to discharge the sewage collected by the water channel 26 through the drainage hole 27.

[0070] Since the bottom of the cleaning device may carry residual water, which will flow into the base station through the door body 6, a water guide groove 26 is provided in the housing, and the water guide groove 26 is used to collect the sewage flowing into the through hole 28 when the door body 6 closes the through hole 28, and then discharge the sewage through the drainage hole 27 provided at the bottom of the housing. Therefore, in this embodiment, the double waterproof structure of the water guide groove 26 and the waterproof plate 15 is used to ensure the safety of electronic components such as the control structure 18.

[0071] like Figure 2As shown, a stripping piece, such as a stripping plate 4, is provided at the through hole 28. One end of the stripping piece is connected to the housing, and the other end faces the through hole 28 and is provided with stripping teeth, which is used to strip the cleaning piece closest to the cleaning device from the stacked cleaning pieces when replacing the cleaning piece. Specifically, in order to prevent the cleaning piece from being lifted up in a series when replacing the cleaning piece, and the first cleaning piece is stripped from the cleaning piece below, in order to prevent the cleaning piece from sticking up and down, the Velcro at the bottom of the cleaning device is a barb, and the replaced cleaning piece is a round Velcro attached to the upper surface. A stripping plate 4 is provided at the through hole 28, and one end of the stripping plate 4 is connected to the housing, and the other end faces the middle of the through hole 28 and is provided with stripping teeth. After the lifting device rises and attaches the cleaning piece to the bottom of the cleaning device, the stripping teeth of the stripping plate 4 are just inserted under the attached cleaning piece. During the descent, the tooth tip of the stripping plate 4 gently separates the cleaning piece below from the attached cleaning piece. The stripping plate 4 is preferably made of silicone with a hardness of 50-80 degrees.

[0072] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the upper surface of the housing is provided with a limiting groove 29 for positioning the running wheels of the cleaning device. Figure 1 There are two pits in the middle, and the two running wheels of the cleaning device just fall into the pits. At this time, the cleaning device needs to replace the cleaning parts facing the through hole 28.

[0073] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, a lateral pressing member, such as a pressing plate 11, is provided on the front side of the housing. An elastic member for keeping the pressing member in a pop-up state is provided on the inner side of the pressing member, and the pressing member is used to control the operation of the first driving device. Specifically, a lateral pressing plate 11 is provided on the front side of the housing, and a spring for keeping the pressing plate in a pop-up state is provided on the inner side of the pressing plate 11. After the pressing plate 11 is pressed, a signal is sent to the control structure 18, and the control structure 18 controls the lifting device to complete the lifting action. The pressing plate 11 is designed to be large and bears a large force, so it is suitable for operation by kicking it with the foot, and there is no need to bend over and operate it with the hands; the pressing plate 11 can also be operated using other parts of the human body, such as hands or arms. Of course, the pressing plate 11 can also be operated by other external devices.

[0074] In this embodiment, a sensor is provided on the housing to detect whether there is a cleaning device on the housing. Specifically, in order to distinguish between the two actions of placing a cleaning device and replacing a cleaning device, a sensor is provided on the housing. In this embodiment, the sensor may be a micro switch 5, which is used to sense whether there is a cleaning device above. If no cleaning device is sensed, pressing the button 11 only opens the opening and closing device without starting the lifting device. At this time, the cleaning device is placed in the supporting device 9. If the micro switch 5 senses that there is a cleaning device, pressing the button 11 opens the opening and closing device, and then starts the lifting device to replace the cleaning device.

[0075] In the present embodiment, the shell is provided with a prompting device for completing voice and / or light prompting of the placement and / or replacement program of the cleaning equipment. In addition, the shell is also provided with a main switch 22, a power cord 25, etc., which will not be repeated in the present embodiment.

[0076] In this embodiment, the base station further includes a rear shell 20 disposed at the rear of the housing, the rear shell 20 extends upward relative to the housing, the cleaning device includes a base and a handheld portion, the rear shell is used to support the handheld portion and make the handheld portion stand upright, and the rear shell 20 is provided with electrical contacts 21 corresponding to the cleaning device, which are used to deliver current to the cleaning device for charging. Thus, on the one hand, it can be used to deliver current to the cleaning device for charging, and on the other hand, the rear shell can be used to support the handheld portion to make the handheld portion stand upright, and the electrical contacts 21 disposed at the upper end of the rear shell 20 are higher than the bottom of the cleaning device, which can effectively prevent the residual water at the bottom of the cleaning device from affecting the charging.

[0077] The working process of this embodiment:

[0078] The process of placing the cleaning part: press the button 11, the door opening and closing motor 16 drives the driving wheel 8 to rotate forward, and the passive wheel 7 drives the two door bodies 6 to open to both sides respectively. After opening to the full extent, the opening and closing sensor 23 is triggered, the opening and closing reduction motor 16 stops rotating, and then the new cleaning part is placed on the supporting device 9, and the button 11 is pressed again, and the opening and closing reduction motor 16 reverses to close the two door bodies 6.

[0079] Replacing cleaning parts process: After the cleaning equipment removes the old cleaning parts, it is placed above the base station. The pressure triggers the micro switch 5, and the prompt module sends a voice to tell the user that the equipment is in place. The user touches the button 11. At this time, the control structure 18 enters the first control cycle, and the door opening and closing motor 16 drives the active wheel 8 to rotate, and the passive wheel 7 drives the two door bodies 6 to open to both sides respectively. After opening in place, the opening and closing sensor 23 is triggered, and the door opening and closing motor 16 stops rotating. At the same time, the lifting motor 17 starts to rotate in the forward direction, driving the lead screw 10 to rotate, and the nut 12 drives the supporting device 9 to move upward. After the cleaning parts on the supporting device 9 contact the wiping plate of the cleaning equipment, the cleaning parts stick to it. At the same time, under the action of pressure, the rising sensor 13 senses and detects the pressure and sends a signal. At this time, the control structure 18 enters the second control cycle, and the lifting motor 17 stops rotating in the forward direction and changes to reverse rotation. The supporting device 9 and the cleaning parts begin to descend. After descending in place, the descending sensor 24 detects that the lifting motor 17 stops moving; finally, the opening and closing reduction motor 16 reverses, the door body 6 closes, and the prompt module sends a voice to tell the user that the entire cleaning parts replacement action is over.
