[0044] It should be noted that, unless there is a conflict, the embodiments and technical features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other, and the detailed description in the specific implementation method should be understood as an explanation of the purpose of this application and should not be regarded as an improper restriction on this application.

[0045] In the description of the embodiments of the present application, the directions or positional relationships of “upper”, “lower”, “top”, “bottom”, “front”, “back”, “left” and “right” are as follows: Figure 1 and Figure 9 As shown, it should be understood that these directional terms are only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the present application.

[0046] See also Figure 1 and Figure 12 In one aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a laundry processing device, comprising a laundry processing machine, a base 2, a connector 3, and a fixing member 4. The laundry processing machine comprises a housing 11, and the base 2 has a sweeping machine cavity 2a. The base 2 is located below the laundry processing machine. Specifically, the sweeping machine cavity 2a is used to accommodate the sweeping machine 100. In other words, the sweeping machine cavity 2a can provide storage space for the sweeping machine 100.

[0047] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The connecting member 3 is connected to the box body 11. The connecting member 3 includes a second connecting plate 31 located on the outer peripheral side of the base 2. The fixing member 4 is passed through the outer peripheral side of the base 2 to the second connecting plate 31 and the base 2. In this way, the box body 11 is fixed to the base 2 through the connecting member 3.

[0048] Since the box body 11 and the base 2 are both relatively large, and the box body 11 is stacked on top of the base 2 , the box body 11 and the base 2 will interfere with the installation work of the operator, and it is difficult for the operator to fix the box body 11 to the base 2 .

[0049] The clothing processing device provided by the present application, on the one hand, during the assembly process of the clothing processing machine and the base 2, the connecting member 3 and the housing 11 can be connected to form a whole, the above-mentioned whole can be placed on the base 2, and then the fixing member 4 can be passed through the outer peripheral side of the base 2 to the second connecting plate 31 and the base 2. Since the second connecting plate 31 is located on the outer peripheral side of the base 2, the outer peripheral side of the base 2 is an open space, and the housing 11 and the base 2 will not interfere with the assembly of the fixing member 4, making it convenient for the operator to install the fixing member 4 on the second connecting plate 31 and the base 2 from the outer peripheral side of the base 2 using tools. In this way, the assembly difficulty between the housing 11 and the base 2 can be reduced, making it easier for the operator to assemble the work, and the housing 11 and the base 2 can be fixed to one body by the connecting member 3, and the connection strength can also be increased. On the other hand, the base 2 is set in the space below the clothing processing machine, and the base 2 does not occupy additional ground area. The base 2 not only provides support for the clothing processing machine, but also provides a placement space for the sweeper 100, achieving the purpose of multiple uses.

[0050] The fixing member 4 includes, but is not limited to, screws, bolts, or rivets. For example, if the fixing member 4 is a screw, the fixing member 4 can be tightened to the second connecting plate 31 and the base 2 from the outer periphery of the base 2. In this way, the nut of the fixing member 4 is located outside the second connecting plate 31, making it easier for an operator to tighten the fixing member 4 using a tool.

[0051] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The laundry machine includes a positioning member 12 disposed on the bottom surface of the housing 11. The connector 3 includes a first connecting plate 32 formed with a limiting hole 32a. The first connecting plate 32 is located between the housing 11 and the base 2. The positioning member 12 is inserted into the limiting hole 32a, and the first connecting plate 32 is connected to the housing 11. The positioning member 12 is inserted into the limiting hole 32a, and the hole wall of the limiting hole 32a is used to position and limit the positioning member 12. This ensures that the first connecting plate 32 and the housing 11 are aligned, preventing the first connecting plate 32 from shifting or misaligning. The operator can smoothly fix the first connecting plate 32 to the set position of the housing 11.

[0052] The type of positioning member 12 is not limited. For example, the positioning member 12 includes but is not limited to screws or rivets, etc. It is understandable that the screws or other structures on the bottom surface of the original clothing processing machine housing 11 can be used as the positioning member 12, so as to minimize the changes to the mold of the housing 11. For example, when manufacturing the clothing processing device of this application, the design of the original housing 11 is still adopted, and the positioning member 12 on the bottom surface of the original housing 11 is used to cooperate with the limiting hole 32a, and the base 2 of this application is assembled on the bottom of the original housing 11, so as to minimize the changes to the mold of the housing 11, facilitate the upgrading of clothing processing equipment, and reduce production costs. It can also avoid the interference of the positioning member 12 with the base 2, so that the clothing processing machine can be more stably set on the base 2.

[0053] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 8 The limiting hole 32a is a waist-shaped hole extending in the front-to-back direction. This allows the base 2 to accommodate different models of housings 11 without significantly increasing the area of ​​the limiting hole 32a, facilitating smooth insertion of the positioning member 12 into the limiting hole 32a. For example, in the front-to-back direction, the existing positioning members 12 of different models of housings 11 are located at different distances from the bottom edge of the housing 11. The long side of the waist-shaped hole extends in the front-to-back direction, allowing positioning members 12 in different positions to be inserted into the waist-shaped hole.

[0054] It should be noted that "up" refers to the direction of the ceiling, with "down" being the opposite of "up"; "front" refers to the direction toward the user, with "back" being the opposite of "front"; and "left" refers to the direction of the user's left hand, with "right" being the opposite of "left". The up-down, front-back, and left-right directions form a three-dimensional vertical coordinate system, with each direction being perpendicular to the other.

[0055] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 11 The number of connecting members 3 is two, and the base 2 includes a frame 21. The frame 21 includes two support frames 211 and two crossbeams 212. The two support frames 211 are arranged at intervals along the front-to-back direction, and the two crossbeams 212 are arranged at intervals along the left-to-right direction. The two ends of the crossbeams 212 along the front-to-back direction are respectively connected to the tops of the two support frames 211. The second connecting plate 31 is located on the outer peripheral side of the support frame 211. The second connecting plates 31 of the two connecting members 3 are respectively connected to the two support frames 211. Here, the two support frames 211 and the two crossbeams 212 together constitute a hollow frame 21. The frame 21 can provide support force and has a relatively light weight. The middle space of the frame 21 is used to form the sweeper cavity 2a. The two support frames 211 are connected to the housing 11 by two connecting members 3. The force on a single connecting member 3 is smaller and more balanced. The laundry machine can be placed more stably on the base 2, avoiding the displacement of the housing 11 caused by vibration during the operation of the laundry machine.

[0056] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 2 to 6 The clothing processing device includes a fastener 5, which is inserted through the first connecting plate 32 and the housing 11. Part of the fastener 5 is located on the bottom side of the first connecting plate 32. A positioning hole 2b is formed on the top surface of the base 2, and the fastener 5 is inserted into the positioning hole 2b. For example, during the assembly process of the clothing processing machine and the base 2, the housing 11 and the connecting member 3 can be first fixed into a whole by the fastener 5, and then the whole can be placed on the base 2. The fastener 5 is inserted into the positioning hole 2b, and the wall of the positioning hole 2b is used to position and limit the fastener 5, so that the whole and the base 2 are roughly positioned to prevent the whole from being offset or misaligned, so that the second connecting plate 31 is aligned and connected to the base 2, and the operator can smoothly fix the second connecting plate 31 to the set position of the base 2.

[0057] It should be noted that the top is consistent with the upward direction, and the bottom is consistent with the downward direction.

[0058] The fasteners 5 include but are not limited to screws, bolts, rivets, etc.

[0059] The shape of the positioning hole 2b is not limited. For example, the shape of the positioning hole 2b includes but is not limited to a circle, an ellipse, a polygon, etc.

[0060] The fastener 5 can be inserted from the bottom side of the box body 11 to the first connecting plate 32 and the box body 11. For example, in one embodiment, the operating surface of the fastener 5 can be located on the bottom side of the box body 11. In this way, during the assembly process of the box body 11 and the connecting member 3, the operator manipulates the operating surface of the fastener 5 from the bottom side using a tool to insert the fastener 5 into the first connecting plate 32 and the box body 11. The bottom side of the box body 11 is an open space, which is convenient for operation.

[0061] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The base 2 is formed with a recessed groove 2e, which is located below and communicates with the positioning hole 2b. The bottom end of the fastener 5 passes through the positioning hole 2b and is accommodated in the recessed groove 2e. The recessed groove 2e increases the storage space below the positioning hole 2b, further accommodating the fastener 5 and preventing it from increasing the distance between the housing 11 and the base 2. This reduces the overall height of the laundry processing device.

[0062] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6Taking the fastener 5 as a screw as an example, the operating surface of the fastener 5 is located on the nut. The size of the nut of the fastener 5 is smaller than the size of the positioning hole 2b. The fastener 5 passes through the first connecting plate 32 from the bottom side of the box body 11 and is threadedly engaged with the box body 11. The nut of the fastener 5 is located on the bottom side of the first connecting plate 32. The screw rod of the fastener 5 is partially inserted into the positioning hole 2b, and the nut of the screw passes through the positioning hole 2b and is accommodated in the recessed groove 2e. During the assembly process of the connector 3 and the box body 11, the operator manipulates the nut of the fastener 5 from the bottom side using a tool to tighten the fastener 5 to the first connecting plate 32 and the box body 11. In this way, the positioning hole 2b and the recessed groove 2e can provide space to accommodate the fastener 5, avoiding the fastener 5 so that the box body 11 can be more firmly supported on the base 2.

[0063] The specific structure of the beam 212 is not limited. For example, in one embodiment, please refer to Figures 9 to 11 The crossbeam 212 includes an upper plate 2121, the two ends of the upper plate 2121 in the front-to-back direction are respectively located above the two support frames 211, and the two ends of the first connecting plate 32 in the left-to-right direction are respectively located above the upper plates 2121 of the two crossbeams 212. Fasteners 5 are provided at both ends of the first connecting plate 32 in the left-to-right direction. Positioning holes 2b are formed in the positions of the two upper plates 2121 corresponding to the fasteners 5, and a recessed groove 2e is formed on the top surface of the support frame 211. Specifically, the first connecting plate 32 is located above the support frame 211. The upper plate 2121 is roughly in the shape of an elongated strip extending in the front-to-back direction. The first connecting plate 32 is roughly in the shape of an elongated strip extending in the left-to-right direction. The structures of the upper plate 2121 and the first connecting plate 32 are simple. The upper plate 2121 and the first connecting plate 32 are arranged perpendicular to each other, which can prevent the upper plate 2121 and the first connecting plate 32 from being excessively overlapped in the up-down direction and increasing the stress on the crossbeam 212.

[0064] The number of the fasteners 5 and the positioning holes 2b is not limited, and the number of the fasteners 5 and the positioning holes 2b can be multiple. For example, the number of the fasteners 5 and the positioning holes 2b can be two, three or more.

[0065] It is understood that the term "plurality" refers to a number including two and more than two.

[0066] For example, in one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 10, the number of fasteners 5 and positioning holes 2b are both four, and positioning holes 2b are formed at both ends of the two upper plates 2121 along the front-to-back direction. The box body 11 is a hexahedral structure, and the bottom surface of the box body 11 is roughly a quadrilateral structure. Fasteners 5 are provided at the four corners of the bottom surface of the box body 11, and the fasteners 5 and the positioning holes 2b are provided in a one-to-one correspondence. In this way, the two connecting parts 3 can be firmly fixed to the box body 11 by multiple fasteners 5. Fasteners 5 are provided at the four corners of the bottom surface of the box body 11, and the four fasteners 5 are all around the periphery of the center of gravity of the box body 11, so that the force between the fasteners 5 and the positioning holes 2b is more balanced.

[0067] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 9 to 11 The crossbeam 212 includes a side plate 2122 provided on one side of the upper plate 2121 along the left-right direction, and the two ends of the side plate 2122 along the front-back direction are respectively located on the outer peripheral sides of the two support frames 211, and the two ends of the upper plate 2121 along the front-back direction and the two ends of the side plate 2122 along the front-back direction are both connected to the support frame 211. Specifically, the side plate 2122 is roughly in the shape of a long strip extending along the front-back direction. The angle between the upper plate 2121 and the side plate 2122 is roughly a right angle. Taking the plane perpendicular to the front-back direction as the cross section, the cross-sectional shape of the crossbeam 212 is L-shaped. The two ends of the upper plate 2121 in the front-back direction and the two ends of the side plate 2122 in the front-back direction are both connected to the support frame 211 to enhance the connection strength between the crossbeam 212 and the support frame 211, thereby increasing the bearing capacity of the base 2.

[0068] The material of the crossbeam 212 is not limited. For example, the crossbeam 212 can be made of plastic or metal. For example, the crossbeam 212 can be a sheet metal structure. The metal sheet is punched to form the positioning holes 2b, and then bent to form the upper plate 2121 and the side plates 2122.

[0069] The material of the support frame 211 is not limited. For example, the support frame 211 can be made of plastic or metal. For example, the support frame 211 can be a sheet metal structure.

[0070] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 5 、 Figure 6 as well as Figure 10 The base 2 includes a straight beam having two avoidance sections 2111 spaced apart along its length. The two avoidance sections 2111 divide the straight beam into a longitudinal section 2112 and two support sections 2113. The longitudinal section 2112 is located between the two avoidance sections 2111. Specifically, the two support sections 2113 are located on either side of the two avoidance sections 2111, away from the longitudinal section 2112.

[0071] The longitudinal section 2112 has a cavity 2112a formed within it. The two widthwise end surfaces of the relief section 2111 are concave. The two support sections 2113 are bent in the same direction, with the relief sections 2111 inserted into the cavities 2112a to form the support frame 211. The end surfaces of the longitudinal section 2112 facing away from the support sections 2113 are formed with recessed grooves 2e. In other words, the support frame 211 has a generally U-shaped outline. The support frame 211 is made of metal, and the straight beams are formed using sheet metal processing, resulting in a simple and low-cost manufacturing process.

[0072] In order to strengthen the structural strength of the support frame 211, in one embodiment, a locking member is provided through the longitudinal section 2112 and the avoidance section 2111. The locking member is used to strengthen the connection strength of the overlapping portion of the longitudinal section 2112 and the avoidance section 2111, making the support frame 211 more stable.

[0073] Exemplarily, a plurality of locking members are provided at the overlapping portion of the longitudinal section 2112 and the avoidance section 2111, thereby reducing the force exerted on a single locking member.

[0074] The fastening members include but are not limited to screws, bolts or rivets, etc.

[0075] The shape of the connecting member 3 is not limited. For example, in one embodiment, please refer to Figures 5 to 8 ,as well as Figure 11 The second connecting plate 31 is disposed on one side of the first connecting plate 32 along the front-to-back direction. The second connecting plate 31 is located on the outer periphery of the support frame 211. The fixing member 4 secures the second connecting plate 31 to the longitudinal section 2112 of the support frame 211. The second connecting plate 31 is connected to the support frame 211 via the fixing member 4. The angle between the first connecting plate 32 and the second connecting plate 31 is approximately right. The cross-section of the connecting member 3, taken along a plane perpendicular to the left-to-right direction, is L-shaped, resulting in a simple structure and low cost.

[0076] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The laundry machine includes a reinforcing plate 13 disposed at the bottom of the housing 11. The reinforcing plate 13 is located above the first connecting plate 32. The fasteners 5 fix the first connecting plate 32 to the reinforcing plate 13. The reinforcing plate 13 can increase the structural strength of the housing 11 and enhance the connection strength between the housing 11 and the first connecting plate 32.

[0077] For example, take fastener 5 as a screw. Figure 6 The reinforcing plate 13 is formed with a threaded hole, the first connecting plate 32 is formed with a through hole, and the fastener 5 passes through the through hole and is threadedly engaged with the threaded hole of the reinforcing plate 13. In this way, the connecting member 3 is easy to quickly assemble and detach.

[0078] The connection mode of the reinforcing plate 13 and the box body 11 is not limited. For example, the reinforcing plate 13 and the box body 11 are fixed by riveting. In this way, the contact area between the reinforcing plate 13 and the box body 11 is large and the force is more balanced, thereby avoiding damage to the box body 11.

[0079] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 7 The first connecting plate 32 is formed with a pressing groove 32b extending along its length. The first connecting plate 32 serves as a force-bearing structure, and the pressing groove 32b is used to strengthen the structural strength of the first connecting plate 32 to prevent the first connecting plate 32 from being deformed and damaged, which would affect the stability of the laundry machine.

[0080] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 9 A portion of the first connecting plate 32 protrudes downward to form a depression 32b. A recess 2e extends from one end of the top surface of the support frame 211 to the other in the left-right direction, with depression 32b located above recess 2e. This allows recess 2e to accommodate the fastener 5 while also reinforcing the structural strength of the support frame 211. Recess 2e provides space for depression 32b, thus avoiding increasing the height of the base 2.

[0081] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 6 、 Figure 11 and Figure 12 A groove 31a is formed on the end surface of the second connecting plate 31 away from the base 2. The fixing member 4 is inserted through the groove wall of the groove 31a and the base 2. The groove 31a provides space for the fixing member 4, preventing the fixing member 4 from excessively protruding from the end surface of the second connecting plate 31 away from the base 2. This allows the outer shell 6 to be provided outside the second connecting plate 31, thereby improving the aesthetics of the base 2.

[0082] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The number of the fixing members 4 can be multiple, the groove 31a extends along the length direction of the second connecting plate 31, and the fixing members 4 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the second connecting plate 31. In this way, the second connecting plate 31 is firmly assembled to the base 2 by multiple fixing members 4.

[0083] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 6 to 10, part of the second connecting plate 31 protrudes toward the base 2 to form a groove 31a, and the part of the base 2 located at the groove 31a protrudes inward to form an avoidance groove 2c, and the groove 31a is located in the avoidance groove 2c. Exemplarily, the end surface of the longitudinal section 2112 close to the second connecting plate 31 protrudes inward to form the avoidance groove 2c. The avoidance groove 2c can provide an accommodating space for the groove 31a, serving as a avoidance groove 31a. In this way, a part of the second connecting plate 31 and a part of the longitudinal section 2112 both protrude inward, serving to hide the fixing member 4, preventing the fixing member 4 from protruding from the end surface of the second connecting plate 31 away from the base 2.

[0084] The connector 3 can be made of metal and have a sheet metal structure. This provides excellent structural strength and ease of fabrication. For example, the groove 32b and the recess 31a can be formed by stamping, and the first and second connecting plates 32 and 31 can be formed by bending.

[0085] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 6 , the fixing member 4 does not protrude beyond the depth of the groove 31a. In other words, the fixing member 4 can be completely hidden in the groove 31a, which ensures that the fixing member 4 will not scratch the housing 6 assembled on the base 2, such as the front housing.

[0086] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 9 to 12 The front side of the base 2 is formed with an inlet and outlet 2d that is connected to the sweeper cavity 2a. The clothing processing device includes a shell 6 that is open on both the top and bottom sides. The front side of the shell 6 is formed with a take-in and put-out port 6a. The shell 6 is arranged around the outer periphery of the base 2, and the take-in and put-out port 6a is connected to the inlet and outlet 2d. The sweeper 100 enters the sweeper cavity 2a through the take-in and put-out port 6a and the inlet and outlet 2d. The rear side of the clothing processing machine is usually close to the wall, and the front side of the clothing processing machine has a relatively open space, which is convenient for the sweeper 100 to enter and exit. The shell 6 can not only be used to improve the aesthetics of the clothing processing device, but also prevent other objects from entering the frame 21.

[0087] The material of the shell 6 is not limited, and for example, the shell 6 can be made of plastic. This not only reduces the overall weight of the clothes processing device, but also improves the appearance of the base 2 according to design requirements and enhances the aesthetics.

[0088] For example, in one embodiment, the housing 6 includes a front shell, two side shells, and a rear shell. The front shell is formed with a take-in / out opening 6a, and the other three circumferential openings of the frame 21 are covered by the two side shells and the rear shell. The front shell covers the front support frame 211 and second connecting plate 31, while the rear shell covers the rear support frame 211 and second connecting plate 31. The two side shells respectively cover the two crossbeams 212. By accommodating the fixing member 4 through the avoidance groove 2c and the groove 31a, the front shell does not need to have a structure to avoid the fixing member 4. The entire front shell surface facing the user can also be relatively flat, which improves the appearance.

[0089] For example, in some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 The bottom of the base 2 is provided with feet 7 for supporting the clothes processing device. For example, there are four feet 7, which are respectively provided at the four corners of the bottom surface of the base 2. The feet 7 can prevent the bottom of the base 2 from contacting the ground.

[0090] For example, the six sides of the frame 21 formed by the support frame 211 and the crossbeam 212 all have openings. It is understood that in some embodiments of the present application, the space formed by the support frame 211 located at the front side is the entrance and exit 2d. In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 11 The base 2 may further include a top plate 22 and a bottom plate 23. The top plate 22 covers the top opening formed by the two support frames 211 and the two crossbeams 212, while the bottom plate 23 covers the bottom opening formed by the two support frames 211 and the two crossbeams 212. The bottom plate 23 can be used to support components of the base 2 and the sweeper 100. The top plate 22 prevents liquid from the laundry machine from entering the base 2 through the top opening. The top plate 22 and the bottom plate 23 also enhance the structural strength of the frame 21.

[0091] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 9 to 11 The bottom surface of the base 2 is partially sunken to form a sunken platform 2f, located at the entrance 2d. The left-right dimension of the sunken platform 2f is no less than the left-right dimension of the entrance 2d. Since the entrance 2d is used for the sweeping robot 100 to enter and exit the sweeping robot chamber 2a, it is difficult to add reinforcing ribs at the entrance 2d, resulting in a weak structure. The sunken platform 2f not only strengthens the structural strength of the entrance 2d, but also reduces the height of the bottom surface of the entrance 2d, making it easier for the robot to enter and exit the sweeping robot chamber 2a.

[0092] For example, see Figure 9 , the bottom plate 23 is partially sunken to form a sunken platform 2f.

[0093] The top plate 22 and the bottom plate 23 may both be made of metal. For example, the top plate 22 and the bottom plate 23 may both be sheet metal structures.

[0094] The present application also provides a cleaning system. Figure 1 and Figure 12 The cleaning system includes the clothes processing device in any embodiment of the present application and a sweeper 100. The sweeper 100 is arranged in the sweeper cavity 2a so as to be able to enter and exit.

[0095] In the cleaning system provided in the embodiment of the present application, the clothes processing machine can be used to process clothes, such as washing clothes, and the sweeping machine 100 can be used to clean the floor. The base 2 is used to provide a storage space for the sweeping machine 100, which no longer occupies additional floor area, saves space, and provides a good user experience.

[0096] The sweeper 100 is an intelligent sweeper 100, that is, it includes a control unit and a walking structure. The control unit can control the walking structure to move autonomously and the cleaning element to operate autonomously. For example, if the walking structure is a roller, the control unit controls the roller to rotate to drive the sweeper 100. During the movement of the sweeper 100, the cleaning element can clean the floor.

[0097] The cleaning member is used for contacting the surface to be cleaned, for example, with the ground to clean the surface to be cleaned. The cleaning member can roll, rotate, or slide relative to the ground, etc., so that the cleaning member rubs the surface to be cleaned, and the surface to be cleaned is rubbed by the cleaning member to achieve the purpose of cleaning.

[0098] Illustratively, the cleaning parts of the sweeping machine 100 include but are not limited to a roller brush and / or a rag, etc.

[0099] In one embodiment, the robot vacuum 100 includes a first communication module, and the laundry processing device includes a second communication module. The robot vacuum 100 and the laundry processing device can communicate via the first and second communication modules. For example, wireless communication can be performed via the first and second communication modules, and the robot vacuum 100 can automatically return to the robot vacuum chamber 2a.

[0100] Exemplarily, the first communication module and the second communication module may include but are not limited to one or more wireless data communication modules such as a Bluetooth module, a Wireless Fidelity (WIFI) module, a fourth generation or fifth generation (4G / 5G) communication module or an infrared module.

[0101] The base 2 can also be used to provide cleaning, charging and / or drying functions for the sweeping machine 100.

[0102] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 11 and Figure 12 The chassis 2 includes a base 24 located within the frame 21. The base 24 forms a sweeper chamber 2a and a cleaning tank, which is used to clean the cleaning components of the sweeper 100. On the one hand, the cleaning components are cleaned using the water in the cleaning tank, making them cleaner and eliminating the need for manual cleaning by the user, thus improving the user experience. On the other hand, other structural components can be disposed outside the base 24 to prevent them from coming into contact with the water and / or interfering with the sweeper 100.

[0103] In one embodiment, the base 2 includes a water inlet valve and a water inlet circuit. The water inlet circuit is connected to the washing tub, and the water inlet valve is disposed on the water inlet circuit. The water inlet circuit is used to supply water to the washing tub. The water inlet valve is used to open and close the water inlet circuit. In this way, the water inlet valve can be opened and closed by a controller to achieve automatic water supply to the washing tub. The water flow in the washing tub can be independently controlled by the water inlet valve, and is not affected by the water use of the laundry machine. Simply energizing the water inlet valve allows the water inlet valve to operate independently even when the laundry machine is not powered on or operating. Similarly, the water flow in the laundry machine can be independently controlled, and is not affected by the water use of the base 2.

[0104] In one embodiment, the water inlet is connected to a tap water pipe. On the one hand, the tap water pipe continuously provides tap water to the washing tank, thereby saving the water tank and other structures used to supply water to the washing tank.

[0105] In one embodiment, the base 2 includes a sewage drainage path and a drainage pump. The sewage drainage path connects the cleaning tank and the floor drain. The drainage pump is arranged on the sewage drainage path to pump the sewage in the cleaning tank to the floor drain. In this way, the drainage pump can be started and stopped by the controller to realize automatic drainage of the cleaning tank.

[0106] For example, the sewage drain and the drain pipe of the laundry machine can be connected through a tee to share a common floor drain. In other words, the washing water from the laundry machine and the cleaning water in the cleaning tank can both be discharged to the sewer through the same floor drain, eliminating the need to set up separate floor drains for washing water and cleaning water, thus saving structural parts.

[0107] In one embodiment, the base 2 includes a detergent bottle connected to the cleaning tank, and the detergent bottle is located in the frame 21. The detergent bottle is used to add detergent to the cleaning tank to better clean the cleaning items.

[0108] In some embodiments, the lotion bottle can be a disposable device. After the lotion in the lotion bottle is used up, the lotion bottle can be taken out and replaced with a new lotion bottle. In other embodiments, the user can fill the lotion bottle with lotion, and the lotion bottle can be reused, which is energy-saving and environmentally friendly.

[0109] In one embodiment, the base 2 includes a dispensing pump located in the frame 21. The dispensing pump is used to pump the detergent in the detergent bottle into the cleaning tank. The dispensing pump is used to pump the detergent, thereby achieving autonomous, quantitative, and accurate dispensing of the detergent, thereby improving the degree of automation.

[0110] In one embodiment, the base 2 includes charging terminals and a power module electrically connected to the charging terminals. The charging terminals are located on the side surfaces of the base 24, and the power module is located above the base 24. When the vacuum cleaner 100 is located in the vacuum cleaner chamber 2a, the vacuum cleaner 100 can be electrically connected to the charging terminals for charging. The power module is used to convert AC power from the mains electricity to DC power, and the charging terminals use the DC power to charge the vacuum cleaner 100.

[0111] In one embodiment, the base 2 includes a controller disposed above the pedestal 24. The controller is used for electrical control of electrical components used in conjunction with the sweeper 100, such as a water inlet valve and a dosing pump. On the one hand, the electrical components used in conjunction with the sweeper 100 can be independently controlled and are not affected by the clothing processing electrical components. It is only necessary to connect the controller to a power source. In this way, even if the clothing processing electrical components are not powered on or are not working, the electrical components used in conjunction with the sweeper 100 can still work independently. On the other hand, the controller is disposed on the top surface of the pedestal 24, which can fully utilize the space above the pedestal 24.

[0112] The specific placement of the lotion bottle, power module, and water inlet valve within frame 21 is not limited. For example, in one embodiment, the lotion bottle and power module are spaced apart in the left-right direction, and the water inlet valve is located at the rear of the lotion bottle. The rear of frame 21 is typically close to a wall, and the lotion bottle is close to the front, allowing users to access the lotion bottle from the front of frame 21. The location of the water inlet valve behind the lotion bottle facilitates connection to the water pipe on the wall, shortening the pipe between the water inlet valve and the water pipe.

[0113] In one embodiment, the clothes processing device may further include a fan and a drying duct provided on the base 24, wherein the drying duct connects the fan and the sweeping machine cavity 2a. The fan ventilates the sweeping machine cavity 2a through the drying duct to quickly dry the cleaning parts of the sweeping machine 100.

[0114] The functions of the laundry processing machine are not limited. For example, the laundry processing machine can have a washing function and / or a clothes drying function. In other words, the laundry processing machine can be a washing machine, a clothes drying machine and / or a washing and drying machine, etc.

[0115] In some embodiments, the laundry machine includes a rotatable laundry drum located within the housing 11. The rotation axis of the laundry drum can be vertical, inclined, or horizontal. In other words, the laundry machine can be a pulsator-type laundry machine or a drum-type laundry machine. The laundry drum is used to store and process laundry, for example, washing and / or drying laundry.

[0116] In one embodiment, the laundry machine includes a control device disposed within the housing 11. The control device is configured to electrically control the laundry machine's electrical components, such as the laundry tub. The laundry machine's electrical components can be independently controlled and are not affected by the electrical components of the base 2. Even if the electrical components of the base 2 are not powered on or operating, the electrical components of the laundry machine can still operate independently.

[0117] The various embodiments / implementations provided in this application can be combined with each other without causing any contradiction.

[0118] The foregoing description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Persons skilled in the art will readily appreciate that various modifications and variations are possible. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included within the scope of protection of the present application.
