The rod portion on the top side of the support frame is the top rod extending in the longitudinal direction, and the cross beam is the top rod extending in the transverse direction. The top surface of the support frame forms the sinking groove, and the cross beam is formed with the positioning hole at the position above the support frame.

[0011] In some embodiments, the sink extends from one end of the top surface of the mandrel to the other end along its length.

[0012] In some embodiments, the crossbeam includes an upper plate, the lateral ends of the upper plate are respectively located above the two support frames, the connecting member includes a first connecting plate, the longitudinal ends of the first connecting plate are respectively located above the upper plates of the two crossbeams, the longitudinal ends of the first connecting plate are both provided with the fasteners, the upper plates of the two crossbeams are both formed with the positioning holes at the positions corresponding to the fasteners, and the top surface of the support frame is formed with the sinking groove.

The tighter the connection between the box and the base, the more stable the overall structure, and the smaller the vibration caused by the vibration of the laundry processing machine. The accommodation space also prevents the fastener from increasing the distance between the box and the base, and the overall height of the laundry processing device can be reduced. On the other hand, fixing the box and the base together through the connecting member not only increases the connection strength, but also reduces the difficulty of assembling the box and the base, making it easier for operators to assemble.

[0039] 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.

[0040] In the description of the embodiments of the present application, the directions or positional relationships of “upper”, “lower”, “top”, “bottom”, “front”, “back”, “left”, “right”, “longitudinal”, and “transverse” are as follows: Figure 1 and Figure 3As 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.

[0041] See also Figure 1 and Figure 11 In one aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a laundry processing device, comprising a laundry processing machine and a base having a sweeper cavity 200a. Specifically, the sweeper cavity 200a is used to accommodate the sweeper 2. In other words, the sweeper cavity 200a can provide storage space for the sweeper 2.

[0042] See also Figures 1 to 7 The laundry machine includes a housing 110, a connector 120, and a fastener 130. The fastener 130 fixes the connector 120 to the bottom of the housing 110. Part of the fastener 130 is located at the bottom side of the housing 110. The top of the base has a receiving space 200f (see Figure 7 ), the box body 110 is supported on the base, and the bottom end of the fastener 130 is accommodated in the accommodation space 200f (see Figure 4 ), the connecting member 120 is connected to the base.

[0043] The clothing processing device provided by the present application, on the one hand, utilizes the space below the clothing processing machine to set up a base, so as to avoid the base from occupying additional ground area, and provides a placement space for the sweeper 2 through the base, and the base can provide support for the clothing processing machine. On the other hand, because the bottom end of the fastener 130 will be exposed to the bottom side of the box 110, when the box 110 is placed on top of the base, the fastener 130 will abut against the top surface of the base, making it difficult for the bottom surface of the box to fit the top surface of the base, which can easily lead to partial lateral deviation of the box 110 and / or low reliability of the connection between the box 110 and the base. Such lateral deviation and / or low reliability connection can easily increase the vibration amplitude of the clothing processing machine, generate loud noise, and even cause damage to the box 110, etc., affecting the performance of the clothing processing device. In this application, the bottom end of the fastener 130 is accommodated in the accommodation space 200f. This not only allows the bottom surface of the housing 110 to fit more closely to the top of the base, but also allows the laundry machine to be placed more stably on the base. The housing 110 and the base can be tightly connected. The tighter the connection between the housing 110 and the base, the more stable the overall structure, and the smaller the overall vibration caused by the vibration of the laundry machine. The accommodation space 200f also prevents the fastener 130 from increasing the distance between the housing 110 and the base, allowing the overall height of the laundry machine to be smaller. On the other hand, fixing the housing 110 and the base together through the connector 120 not only increases the connection strength, but also reduces the difficulty of assembling the housing 110 and the base, making it easier for operators to perform assembly operations.

[0044] The specific form of the accommodation space 200f is not limited. For example, the accommodation space 200f can be a hole or a space in a groove. Figures 1 to 6 The top of the base is formed with a sink 200c, and the space in the sink 200c is the accommodation space 200f. The sink 200c can not only enhance the structural strength of the base, but also provide the accommodation space 200f.

[0045] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 3 to 7 A positioning hole 200b is formed on the top of the base, and a recess 200c is located below and communicates with the positioning hole 200b. The bottom end of the fastener 130 passes through the positioning hole 200b and is accommodated in the recess 200c. In other words, the fastener 130 is inserted into the positioning hole 200b.

[0046] For example, during the assembly process of the clothing processing machine and the base, the box body 110 and the connector 120 can first be fixed into a whole by the fastener 130, and then the above-mentioned whole is placed on the base. The fastener 130 is inserted into the positioning hole 200b to achieve rough positioning of the above-mentioned whole and the base to avoid displacement and misalignment of the above-mentioned whole, so that the connector 120 is aligned and connected to the base.

[0047] Here, the fastener 130 is inserted into the positioning hole 200b, and the hole wall of the positioning hole 200b is used to position and limit the fastener 130, so that the connecting member 120 and the base are aligned to avoid the connecting member 120 from being offset or misplaced, and the operator can smoothly fix the connecting member 120 to the set position of the base.

[0048] For example, in one embodiment, the size of the bottom end of the fastener 130 is smaller than the size of the positioning hole 200b, so that the bottom end of the fastener 130 can be smoothly inserted into the positioning hole 200b.

[0049] The fasteners 130 include, but are not limited to, screws, bolts, rivets, and the like.

[0050] The fastener 130 can be inserted through the connector 120 and the housing 110 from the bottom side of the housing 110. For example, in one embodiment, the operating surface of the fastener 130 can be located on the bottom side of the housing 110. In this way, an operator can manipulate the operating surface of the fastener 130 from the bottom side using a tool to insert the fastener 130 through the connector 120 and the housing 110. The bottom side of the housing 110 is an open space, which facilitates operation.

[0051] The shape of the positioning hole 200b is not limited. For example, the shape of the positioning hole 200b includes but is not limited to a circle, an ellipse, a polygon, or the like.

[0052] It should be noted that "up" refers to the direction of the ceiling, and "down" refers to the opposite direction of "up". Top is in the same direction as "up", and bottom is in the same direction as "down".

[0053] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 3 to 7 Taking the fastener 130 as a screw as an example, the operating surface of the screw is located on the nut. The size of the nut of the fastener 130 is smaller than the size of the positioning hole 200b. The screw is inserted into the connector 120 and the box 110 from the bottom side of the box 110. The nut of the fastener 130 is located on the bottom side of the box 110. The screw shaft of the fastener 130 is inserted into the positioning hole 200b. The nut of the screw passes through the positioning hole 200b and is accommodated in the recessed groove 200c. During the assembly process of the connector 120 and the box 110, the operator manipulates the nut of the fastener 130 from the bottom side using a tool to tighten the fastener 130 to the connector 120 and the box 110. In this way, the positioning hole 200b and the recessed groove 200c can provide space to accommodate the screw, so that the box 110 can be more firmly supported on the base.

[0054] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 6 The base includes four push rods 201, two of which are spaced apart in the transverse direction, and the other two are spaced apart in the longitudinal direction. The ends of the four push rods 201 are connected in pairs. One of the ends of the push rods 201 extending longitudinally and the ends of the push rods 201 extending transversely forms a positioning hole 200b, and the other of the ends of the push rods 201 extending longitudinally and the ends of the push rods 201 extending transversely forms a recessed groove 200c. The four push rods 201 together form a quadrilateral structure, and the four corners of the quadrilateral structure are each formed with a positioning hole 200b and a recessed groove 200c. It is understood that there are also four fasteners 130, which are located at the four corners of the bottom surface of the box body 110. The four fasteners 130 are respectively inserted into the four positioning holes 200b. In this way, the connector 120 is fixed to the box body 110 via the four fasteners 130, which provides good reliability. The four fasteners 130 are arranged at the corners of the bottom surface of the box 110, and the four positioning holes 200b are arranged at the ends of the top rod 201, which not only facilitates the routing of pipes and wiring between the box 110 and the base, but also prevents the fasteners 130 from interfering with other structural parts in the box 110.

[0055] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 6The base includes a frame 210, and the frame 210 includes two support frames 211 and two crossbeams 212. The two support frames 211 are arranged at intervals in the horizontal direction, and the two crossbeams 212 are arranged at intervals in the longitudinal direction. The rod portion on the top side of the support frame 211 is a top rod 201 extending in the longitudinal direction, and the crossbeam 212 is a top rod 201 extending in the transverse direction. In other words, the lateral ends of the crossbeam 212 are respectively connected to the tops of the two support frames 211. The top surface of the support frame 211 forms a sink 200c, and the part of the crossbeam 212 located above the support frame 211 is formed with a positioning hole 200b. The two support frames 211 and the two crossbeams 212 together constitute a hollow frame 210, which can provide support force and has a relatively light weight. The central space of the frame 210 is used to form a sweeper cavity 200a.

[0056] It should be noted that the longitudinal, transverse and up-down directions are perpendicular to each other and together constitute a three-dimensional vertical coordinate system.

[0057] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 5 to 8 ,as well as Figure 10 The crossbeam 212 includes an upper plate 2121, the lateral ends of which are respectively located above the two support frames 211. The connector 120 includes a first connecting plate 121, the longitudinal ends of which are respectively located above the upper plates 2121 of the two crossbeams 212. Fasteners 130 are provided at both longitudinal ends of the first connecting plate 121. Positioning holes 200b are formed in the upper plates 2121 of the two crossbeams 212 corresponding to the fasteners 130. A recess 200c is formed on the top surface of the support frame 211. Specifically, the first connecting plate 121 is located above the support frame 211. The upper plate 2121 is generally in the shape of a long strip extending in the transverse direction. The first connecting plate 121 is generally in the shape of a long strip extending in the longitudinal direction. The upper plate 2121 and the first connecting plate 121 have simple structures. The upper plate 2121 and the first connecting plate 121 are arranged perpendicular to each other, which can avoid excessive stacking of the upper plate 2121 and the first connecting plate 121 in the vertical direction to increase the stress on the beam 212.

[0058] The number of the connecting members 120 is not limited. For example, in one embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 9 There are two connecting members 120, and the two connecting members 120 are arranged at intervals along the horizontal direction. The first connecting plates 121 of the two connecting members 120 are respectively located above the two support frames 211. In this way, fasteners 130 can be set at the four ends of the two first connecting plates 121, and the two first connecting plates 121 are connected to the box body 110 through the four fasteners 130.

[0059] The number of fasteners 130 and positioning holes 200b is not limited, and the number of fasteners 130 and positioning holes 200b can be multiple. For example, the number of fasteners 130 and positioning holes 200b can be two, three or more. Figures 5 to 7 , the number of fasteners 130 and positioning holes 200b are both four, and positioning holes 200b are formed at both lateral ends of the two upper plates 2121. The box body 110 has a hexahedral structure, and the bottom surface of the box body 110 is roughly a quadrilateral structure. The four corners of the bottom surface of the box body 110 are provided with fasteners 130, and the fasteners 130 and the positioning holes 200b are provided in a one-to-one correspondence. In this way, the connector 120 can be firmly fixed to the box body 110 by multiple fasteners 130. Fasteners 130 are provided at the four corners of the bottom surface of the box body 110, and the four fasteners 130 are all around the periphery of the center of gravity of the box body 110, so that the force between the fasteners 130 and the positioning holes 200b is more balanced.

[0060] It is understood that the term "plurality" refers to a number including two and more than two.

[0061] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 The recessed groove 200c extends from one end of the top surface of the push rod 201 to the other end along its length. For example, the recessed groove 200c extends longitudinally from one end of the top surface of the support frame 211 to the other end. In other words, the recessed grooves 200c at both ends of the same push rod 201 are connected. This way, the recessed groove 200c can accommodate the fastener 130, strengthen the structural strength of the support frame 211, and simplify the manufacturing process of the recessed groove 200c.

[0062] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 5 、 Figure 8 and Figure 9 The first connecting plate 121 is formed with a longitudinally extending groove 121a, which is located above the recessed groove 200c of the support frame 211. This groove 121a strengthens the structural strength of the first connecting plate 121. Furthermore, a portion of the first connecting plate 121 protrudes downward to form the groove 121a, and the recessed groove 200c provides space for the groove 121a, thus avoiding increasing the height of the base.

[0063] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 6 to 10The base includes a top plate 220. The tops of the two support frames 211 and the two crossbeams 212 together define a top opening 210a. The top surface of the crossbeam 212 is formed with an open slot 212a extending in the transverse direction. The top plate 220 includes a main body 221 and four side portions 222 arranged around the periphery of the main body 221. The height of the side portions 222 is lower than the highest height of the main body 221. The main body 221 covers the top opening 210a. The two side portions 222 facing each other in the transverse direction are respectively received in the two recessed grooves 200c. The two side portions 222 facing each other in the longitudinal direction are respectively received in the two open slots 212a. Locking members are provided through the side portions 222 and the top surface of the frame 210. In other words, the side portions 222 are fixed to the base via the locking members.

[0064] Here, on the one hand, the sink 200c and the opening groove 212a provide accommodation space for the side portion 222, preventing the side portion 222 and the screw from excessively protruding from the top surface of the frame 210. In this way, the bottom surface of the clothing processing machine does not need to be provided with an avoidance structure for avoiding the locking member, and the clothing processing machine can be placed stably on the base. On the other hand, the top plate 220 can not only prevent the water from the clothing processing machine from entering the base through the top opening 210a, but also strengthen the structural strength of the frame 210. On the other hand, the side portion 222 and the main body 221 are not on the same plane, and the structural strength of the top plate 220 is good.

[0065] For example, the top plate 220 can be made of metal. The top plate 220 is a sheet metal structure, so that the top plate 220 has a better force bearing capacity.

[0066] Sheet metal structure refers to a structure formed by cold processing such as stamping, shearing or bending of metal plates.

[0067] The fastening members include but are not limited to screws, bolts or rivets, etc.

[0068] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 The crossbeam 212 includes a side plate 2122 provided on one side of the upper plate 2121 along the longitudinal direction, and the lateral ends of the side plate 2122 are respectively located on the outer peripheral sides of the two support frames 211, and the lateral ends of the upper plate 2121 and the lateral ends of the side plate 2122 are both connected to the support frame 211. Specifically, the side plate 2122 is roughly in the shape of a long strip extending in the transverse direction. The angle between the upper plate 2121 and the side plate 2122 is roughly a right angle. With the plane perpendicular to the transverse direction as the cross section, the cross-sectional shape of the crossbeam 212 is L-shaped. The lateral ends of the upper plate 2121 and the lateral ends of the side plate 2122 are both connected to the support frame 211 to enhance the connection strength between the crossbeam 212 and the support frame 211, so as to increase the bearing capacity of the base.

[0069] 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 200b and the opening slot 212a, and then bent to form the upper plate 2121 and the side plates 2122.

[0070] 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.

[0071] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 3 to 7 The base 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.

[0072] 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 surface of the longitudinal section 2112 facing away from the support sections 2113 is formed with a recessed groove 200c. 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, which simplifies the process and reduces manufacturing costs.

[0073] 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.

[0074] 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.

[0075] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 10 The laundry processing device includes a fixing member 300. The connecting member 120 includes a second connecting plate 122. The second connecting plate 122 is located on the outer periphery of the base. The fixing member 300 fixes the second connecting plate 122 to the base. Because the second connecting plate 122 is located on the outer periphery of the base, the housing 110 and the base do not interfere with the assembly of the fixing member 300. The outer periphery of the base is open, making it easy for operators to install the fixing member 300 on the second connecting plate 122 and the base from the outer periphery of the base using tools.

[0076] The fixing member 300 includes, but is not limited to, screws, bolts, or rivets. For example, if the fixing member 300 is a screw, the fixing member 300 can be tightened onto the second connecting plate 122 and the base from the outer periphery of the base. In this way, the nut of the fixing member 300 is located outside the second connecting plate 122, making it easier for an operator to tighten the fixing member 300 using a tool.

[0077] For example, in one embodiment, please refer to Figure 8 and Figure 10 The second connecting plate 122 is disposed on a lateral side of the first connecting plate 121 and is located on the outer periphery of the support frame 211. The fixing member 300 secures the second connecting plate 122 to the longitudinal section 2112 of the support frame 211. The second connecting plate 122 is connected to the support frame 211 via the fixing member 300. The angle between the first connecting plate 121 and the second connecting plate 122 is approximately a right angle. The cross-section of the connecting member 120, taken along a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, is L-shaped, resulting in a simple structure and low cost.

[0078] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 4 and Figure 10 A groove 122a is formed on the end surface of the second connecting plate 122 away from the base. The fixing member 300 is inserted through the groove wall of the groove 122a and the base. The groove 122a provides space for the fixing member 300, preventing the fixing member 300 from excessively protruding from the end surface of the second connecting plate 122 away from the base. This allows the housing 400 to be placed over the second connecting plate 122 to enhance the aesthetics of the base.

[0079] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 10 The number of the fixing members 300 can be multiple, the groove 122a extends along the longitudinal direction of the second connecting plate 122, and the fixing members 300 are arranged at intervals along the longitudinal direction of the second connecting plate 122. In this way, the second connecting plate 122 is firmly assembled to the base through multiple fixing members 300.

[0080] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 4 to 6, a portion of the second connecting plate 122 protrudes toward the base to form a groove 122a, and the portion of the base located at the groove 122a protrudes inward to form an avoidance groove 200d, and the groove 122a is located in the avoidance groove 200d. Exemplarily, the end surface of the longitudinal section 2112 close to the second connecting plate 122 protrudes inward to form the avoidance groove 200d. The avoidance groove 200d can provide an accommodating space for the groove 122a, serving as a avoidance groove 122a. In this way, a portion of the second connecting plate 122 and a portion of the longitudinal section 2112 both protrude inward, serving to hide the fixing member 300 and prevent the fixing member 300 from protruding from the end surface of the second connecting plate 122 away from the base.

[0081] The connector 120 can be made of metal and have a sheet metal structure. This provides the connector 120 with good structural strength and is easy to manufacture. For example, the groove 121a and the recess 122a can be formed by stamping, and the first connecting plate 121 and the second connecting plate 122 can be formed by bending.

[0082] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 6 The base has an inlet and outlet 200e formed along one lateral side, communicating with the sweeper chamber 200a. The bottom surface of the sweeper chamber 200a is partially sunken to form a sunken platform 200a'. The sunken platform 200a' is located where the inlet and outlet 200e is located, and the longitudinal dimension of the sunken platform 200a' is no less than the longitudinal dimension of the inlet and outlet 200e. Because the inlet and outlet 200e is used for the sweeper 2 to enter and exit the sweeper chamber 200a, it is difficult to add reinforcing ribs at the inlet and outlet 200e, resulting in a weak structure. The sunken platform 200a' not only strengthens the structural strength of the inlet and outlet 200e, but also lowers the height of the bottom surface of the inlet and outlet 200e, making it easier for the robot to enter and exit the sweeper chamber 200a.

[0083] For example, the six sides of the frame 210 formed by the support frame 211 and the crossbeam 212 are all provided with openings, and the top opening 210a of the frame 210 is covered by the top plate 220. In one embodiment, see Figure 10 The base may further include a bottom plate 230, which covers the bottom opening formed by the two support frames 211 and the two crossbeams 212. The bottom plate 230 is partially sunken to form a sunken platform 200a'. The bottom plate 230 can be used to support structural components in the base and components such as the sweeper 2.

[0084] The bottom plate 230 may also be made of metal, for example, the bottom plate 230 may also be a sheet metal structure.

[0085] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 10 and Figure 11The laundry processing device includes a housing 400 that is open on both the top and bottom sides. A take-in / out opening 400a is formed along one lateral side of the housing 400. The housing 400 is disposed around the periphery of the base, and the take-in / out opening 400a is connected to the inlet / outlet 200e. The sweeper 2 enters the sweeper cavity 200a through the take-in / out opening 400a and the inlet / outlet 200e. The housing 400 not only enhances the aesthetics of the laundry processing device but also prevents other objects from entering the frame 210.

[0086] The material of the housing 400 is not limited. For example, the housing 400 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 and enhances the aesthetics according to design requirements.

[0087] For example, the access opening 400a can be formed on the front side of the housing 400, and the inlet and outlet 200e can be formed on the front side of the frame 210. The back side of the laundry machine is usually close to the wall, and the front side of the laundry machine is relatively open, which is convenient for the sweeper 2 to enter and exit.

[0088] It should be noted that the front refers to the direction toward the user, and the back is opposite to the front; the left refers to the direction of the user's left hand side, and the right is opposite to the front.

[0089] It is understood that in some embodiments of the present application, the space enclosed by the support frame 211 serves as the inlet and outlet 200e. Therefore, the front-to-back direction coincides with the horizontal direction, and the left-to-right direction coincides with the vertical direction. In other possible embodiments, the inlet and outlet 200e may be formed between two support frames 211. In this case, the horizontal direction coincides with the left-to-right direction, and the vertical direction coincides with the front-to-back direction.

[0090] For example, in one embodiment, the housing 400 includes a front shell, two side shells, and a rear shell. The front shell is formed with a take-in / out opening 400a, and the other three circumferential openings of the frame 210 are covered by the two side shells and the rear shell. The front shell covers the front support frame 211 and the second connecting plate 122, the rear shell covers the rear support frame 211 and the second connecting plate 122, and the two side shells respectively cover the two crossbeams 212. By accommodating the fixing member 300 through the avoidance groove 200d and the groove 122a, the front shell does not need to have a structure to avoid the fixing member 300, and the entire front shell's front surface facing the user can also be relatively flat, with a more beautiful appearance.

[0091] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 , the fixing member 300 does not protrude beyond the depth of the groove 122a. This ensures that the fixing member 300 will not scratch the housing 400 assembled on the base, such as the front housing.

[0092] The present application also provides a cleaning system. Figure 11The cleaning system includes the clothes processing device in any embodiment of the present application and a sweeper 2. The sweeper 2 is arranged in the sweeper cavity 200a so as to be able to enter and exit.

[0093] 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 2 can be used to clean the floor. The base is used to provide a storage space for the sweeping machine 2, which no longer occupies additional floor area, saves space, and provides a good user experience.

[0094] The sweeper 2 is an intelligent sweeper 2. That is, the sweeper 2 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 2. While the sweeper 2 is moving, the cleaning element can clean the floor.

[0095] 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.

[0096] Illustratively, the cleaning parts of the sweeping machine 2 include but are not limited to a roller brush and / or a rag, etc.

[0097] In one embodiment, the sweeper 2 includes a first communication module and the laundry processing device includes a second communication module. The sweeper 2 and the laundry processing device can communicate with each other via the first and second communication modules. For example, wireless communication can be performed via the first and second communication modules, and the sweeper 2 can automatically return to the sweeper chamber 20a.

[0098] 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.

[0099] The base can also be used to provide cleaning, charging and / or drying functions for the sweeper 2.

[0100] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 11 The chassis includes a base 240 located within the frame. The base 240 forms a sweeper chamber 200a and a cleaning tank for cleaning the cleaning components of the sweeper 2. 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 installed outside the base 240 to prevent them from coming into contact with the water and / or interfering with the sweeper 2.

[0101] In one embodiment, the base 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 filling of 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.

[0102] 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.

[0103] In one embodiment, the base includes a sewage drainage channel and a drainage pump. The sewage drainage channel connects the cleaning tank and the floor drain. The drainage pump is arranged on the sewage drainage channel 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.

[0104] 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.

[0105] In one embodiment, the base includes a detergent bottle connected to the cleaning tank, and the detergent bottle is located in the frame. The detergent bottle is used to add detergent to the cleaning tank to better clean the cleaning items.

[0106] 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.

[0107] In one embodiment, the base includes a dispensing pump located above the base 240. 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.

[0108] In one embodiment, the base includes charging terminals and a power module electrically connected to the charging terminals. The charging terminals are located on the side surfaces of the vacuum chamber 200a, and the power module is located above the base 240. When the vacuum chamber 2 is within the vacuum chamber 200a, the vacuum chamber 2 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 chamber 2.

[0109] In one embodiment, the base includes a controller disposed above the pedestal 240. The controller is used to electrically control electrical components used in conjunction with the sweeper 2, such as a water inlet valve and a dosing pump. On the one hand, the electrical components used in conjunction with the sweeper 2 can be independently controlled and are not affected by the clothing processing electrical components. Simply by connecting the controller to a power source, even if the clothing processing electrical components are not powered on or are not operating, the electrical components used in conjunction with the sweeper 2 can still operate independently. On the other hand, the controller is disposed on the top surface of the pedestal 240, which can fully utilize the space above the pedestal 240.

[0110] The specific placement of the lotion bottle, power module, and water inlet valve within the frame 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 the frame 210 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 the frame 210. 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.

[0111] In one embodiment, the clothes processing device may further include a fan and a drying duct provided on the base 240, wherein the drying duct connects the fan and the sweeping machine chamber 200a. The fan ventilates the sweeping machine chamber 200a through the drying duct to quickly dry the cleaning parts of the sweeping machine 2.

[0112] 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.

[0113] In some embodiments, the laundry machine includes a rotatable laundry drum located within the housing 110. 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.

[0114] In one embodiment, the laundry machine includes a control device disposed within a housing 110. 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 base's electrical components. Even if the base's electrical components are not powered on or functioning, the laundry machine's electrical components can still function independently.

[0115] The various embodiments / implementations provided in this application can be combined with each other without causing any contradiction.

[0116] 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.
