Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of cleaning system technology, specifically a base for a cleaning system and a cleaning system. Background Technology

[0002] To achieve a more thorough cleaning, existing cleaning systems typically require the use of water. After cleaning, wastewater remains on the cleaning rollers. Existing systems cannot quickly clean and dry the rollers after cleaning, leading to them becoming smelly, moldy, and breeding bacteria, thus posing a health risk to users. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, one of the objectives of the present invention is to provide a base for a cleaning system. The base of the cleaning system has several protrusions on a first placement area. One end of each protrusion is inserted into the inside of a roller brush, increasing the contact surface between the roller brush and the air, so that the air generated by the drying component can enter the inside of the roller brush, thereby improving the drying effect of the roller brush and accelerating the drying speed of the roller brush.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical means adopted by the present invention are as follows: a base for a cleaning system, used to detachably place a floor brush assembly of the cleaning system, the floor brush assembly including a roller brush, the base for the cleaning system including a base body and a drying assembly, a cavity being provided in the base body, the drying assembly being located in the cavity; the upper surface of the base body is recessed downward to form a first placement area and a second placement area, the first placement area being used to accommodate the roller brush and an air outlet being provided on the first placement area communicating with the cavity, the second placement area being used to accommodate other floor brush assemblies besides the roller brush; a plurality of protrusions are provided on the first placement area, and one end of the plurality of protrusions is inserted into the interior of the roller brush.

[0005] Several protrusions are arranged along the axial direction of the roller brush. Compared with the radial direction of the roller brush, more protrusions can be arranged along the axial direction of the roller brush, thereby increasing the overall contact area between the roller brush and the air.

[0006] The air outlet is set along the axial direction of the roller brush. At this time, the length of the air outlet is relatively long, the air volume flowing out of the air outlet is relatively large, and the air flowing out of the air outlet can directly act on all surfaces of the roller brush.

[0007] Several protrusions separate the air outlets. The air outlets and protrusions are designed in conjunction, with the protrusions guiding the airflow from the outlets so that the air flows along the gap between the two protrusions and directly acts on the inside of the roller brush to maximize its effectiveness.

[0008] In the first placement area, along the radial direction of the roller brush, the protrusion completely covers the first placement area, thereby increasing the contact area between the protrusion and the roller brush by increasing the area of ​​the protrusion.

[0009] A first groove is provided between the first placement area and the second placement area, and a first sealing element is installed within the first groove, separating the first placement area from the second placement area. The first sealing element prevents wastewater from overflowing into the second placement area during the self-cleaning process. If the second placement area is contaminated, it will be difficult to self-clean and will require manual cleaning, which would reduce the user experience. Furthermore, the first sealing element can seal the roller brush within the first placement area during drying, thereby improving the drying effect and accelerating the drying speed.

[0010] The air outlet has a second groove, within which a second seal is installed, abutting against the air outlet portion. This second seal alters the direction of the airflow from the air outlet, allowing the air to act directly on the roller brush along the second seal.

[0011] The first placement area has a third groove on its outer periphery, and a third sealing element is installed within the third groove. The third sealing element separates the first placement area from other parts of the upper surface of the base body. By providing a third sealing element on the outer periphery of the first placement area, the first placement area can be separated from other parts of the upper surface of the base body, so that the roller brush is completely sealed between the roller brush housing and the first placement area. This prevents wastewater from splashing from the first placement area onto other parts of the base or the ground around the placement area during the self-cleaning process of the roller brush. In addition, the roller brush can be sealed in the first placement area during air drying, thereby improving the drying effect of the roller brush and accelerating the drying speed.

[0012] The air-drying component includes an air source component, with the air outlet end of the air source component positioned opposite to the air outlet, allowing the air generated by the air source component to flow out through the air outlet.

[0013] The drying assembly also includes a heat source component, which is located between the air outlet and the air vent of the air source component. It can convert cold air into hot air and then flow out through the air vent. The hot air makes the roller brush dry faster.

[0014] The air source component includes at least one fan. Compared to the traditional method of using only one fan, two or more fans provide greater airflow and can accelerate drying.

[0015] The heat source is located at least partially below the first placement area. In this case, the heat source can not only convert cold air into hot air to speed up the drying of the roller brush, but also transfer heat to the base body, thereby indirectly transferring heat to the roller brush and accelerating its drying.

[0016] The base of the cleaning system also includes a pedal, which is fixedly connected to the outside of the base body to assist in separating the floor brush assembly from the base of the cleaning system.

[0017] Another object of the present invention is to provide a cleaning system, including a cleaning host and a base of the cleaning system, wherein the cleaning host is detachably mounted on the base of the cleaning system.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this application are: the base of the cleaning system of this application has several protrusions on the first placement area, one end of which is inserted into the inside of the roller brush, increasing the contact surface between the roller brush and the air, making it easier for the air generated by the drying component to enter the inside of the roller brush, thereby improving the drying effect of the roller brush and accelerating the drying speed of the roller brush.

[0019] In addition, the first seal between the first and second placement areas prevents wastewater from overflowing into the second placement area during self-cleaning, thus saving users the trouble of cleaning the second placement area and improving the user experience. Secondly, the first seal keeps the roller brush sealed within the first placement area during drying, thereby improving the drying effect and accelerating the drying speed. Furthermore, the second seal at the air outlet changes the direction of the airflow, ensuring that the air generated by the drying components acts directly on the roller brush.

[0029] As requested, specific embodiments of the invention are disclosed herein. However, it should be understood that the embodiments disclosed herein are merely typical examples of the invention, which may be embodied in various forms. Therefore, the specific details disclosed herein are not to be considered limiting, but merely serve as the basis for the claims and as a representative basis for teaching those skilled in the art to apply the invention differently in practice in any appropriate manner, including employing the various features disclosed herein in combination with features that may not be explicitly disclosed herein.

[0030] In the description of this application, it should be understood that the terms "length", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "circumferential", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application.

[0031] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, the cleaning system 1000 includes a base 100 and a cleaning unit 900. The cleaning unit 900 is used for cleaning everyday environments, such as floors and carpets. Depending on the application, the cleaning unit 900 can be a floor scrubber, a vacuum cleaner, etc. A floor brush assembly 910 is located at the bottom of the cleaning unit 900. The floor brush assembly 910 includes a roller brush 911 and a roller brush housing 912. The roller brush housing 912 covers part of the roller brush 911, and the roller brush housing 912, together with the base 100, forms a roller brush receiving area. The floor brush assembly 910 is located at the bottom of the cleaning unit 900 so that the user can use the floor brush assembly 910 at the bottom of the cleaning unit 900 to clean the floor or other surfaces to be cleaned when holding the cleaning unit 900.

[0032] Understandably, during daily use, the cleaning unit 900 needs to be detached from the base 100. After cleaning, the cleaning unit 900 can be placed on the base 100, which provides a place for the cleaning unit 900. Of course, with technological advancements, the base 100 has been given more functions. For example, the cleaning unit 900 may contain a charging component (not shown in the figure), which can charge the cleaning unit 900 when it is placed on the base 100 after use. Another example is that after cleaning, the cleaning unit 900 can perform self-cleaning or self-testing on the base 100. In this case, auxiliary components can be installed on the base 100 to assist the cleaning unit 900 in performing these functions.

[0033] In one embodiment, combined with Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the base 100 includes a base body 110 and a drying assembly 130. A cavity 120 is provided within the base body 110, and the drying assembly 130 is located within the cavity 120. The upper surface of the base body 110 is recessed downwards to form a first placement area 111 and a second placement area 112. The first placement area 111 is used to accommodate the roller brush 911, and an air outlet 1111 is provided on the first placement area 111 to connect to the cavity 120. The second placement area 112 is used to accommodate other floor brush assemblies 910 besides the roller brush 911. Several protrusions 1112 are provided on the first placement area 111, and one end of each protrusion 1112 is inserted into the roller brush 911, increasing the contact surface between the roller brush 911 and the air, allowing the air generated by the drying assembly 130 to enter the roller brush 911, thereby improving the drying effect of the roller brush 911 and accelerating its drying speed.

[0034] It should be noted that the first placement area 111 and the second placement area 112 are only for the convenience of illustrating the areas on the upper surface of the base body 110 used to accommodate different parts of the floor brush assembly 910. They do not mean that the first placement area 111 and the second placement area 112 are two separate parts. They can be integrally formed or separate structures, and no specific restrictions are made here.

[0035] Specifically, the protrusion 1112 is a plate vertically arranged along the radial direction of the roller brush 911. A regular plate provides better mechanical strength and makes it easier to insert into the roller brush 911. In other embodiments, the specific structure of the protrusion is not limited, as long as it can be inserted into the roller brush, separating the brush bristles and exposing the interior of the roller brush to air. Alternatively, the protrusion does not have to be vertically arranged; a slight inclination in the vertical direction is also acceptable, as long as one end of the protrusion can be inserted into the roller brush.

[0036] Combination Figure 4 and Figure 5As can be seen, in one embodiment, a plurality of protrusions 1112 are arranged along the axial direction of the roller brush 911, and the air outlet 1111 is arranged along the axial direction of the roller brush 911, with the plurality of protrusions 1112 separating the air outlet 1111. Specifically, the air outlet 1111 is located on the side of the first placement area 111 away from the second placement area 112, and the protrusions 1112 are vertically arranged on the air outlet 1111 and extend toward the middle of the first placement area 111. The air outlet 1111 and the protrusions 1112 are designed in association so that the protrusions 1112 can guide the air blown out from the air outlet 1111, so that the air flows along the gap between the two protrusions 1112, thereby directly acting on the interior of the roller brush 911 to maximize the effect. Furthermore, compared to arranging several protrusions 1112 radially along the roller brush 911, more protrusions 1112 can be arranged axially along the roller brush 911 while maintaining the same gap between two protrusions 1112. This increases the overall contact area between the roller brush 911 and the air. Secondly, since the roller brush 911 contacts the protrusions 1112 at all points along its length, simultaneous drying of all parts of the roller brush 911 can be achieved, maximizing efficiency. When the air outlet 1111 is arranged axially along the roller brush 911, its length is relatively long, resulting in a larger airflow and allowing the airflow from the outlet 1111 to directly act on all surfaces of the roller brush 911. In other embodiments, the protrusions can be distributed throughout the first placement area, not limited to being arranged axially along the roller brush, as long as the protrusions can be inserted into the roller brush. The air outlet can be freely placed anywhere in the first placement area, not limited to being along the axis of the roller brush, as long as the air generated by the drying component can flow out from the air outlet. Other sealing methods can be used to ensure that the air acts on the roller brush. The protrusion and the drying component can be set up independently, and there is no fixed positional relationship between them; each can simply perform its own function. Obviously, the air outlet can be set up arbitrarily while the protrusion is set along the axis of the roller brush, or the protrusion can be set up arbitrarily while the air outlet is set along the axis of the roller brush; the positions of the protrusion and the air outlet are not specifically restricted.

[0037] In one embodiment, the protrusions 1112 are parallel to each other and equidistant from each other, which enables uniform drying of the roller brush 911 and avoids the situation where some parts are dried but others are not. In other embodiments, depending on the position of the air source component in the drying assembly, fewer protrusions can be set at the relative position between the roller brush and the air outlet end of the air source component, and more protrusions can be set in other areas. That is, fewer protrusions can be set in areas with strong winds and more protrusions can be set in areas with weak winds, so as to achieve simultaneous drying of all parts of the roller brush.

[0038] like Figure 5As shown, in one embodiment, one end of the plurality of protrusions 1112 inserted into the roller brush 911 is chamfered, which can extend the service life of the roller brush 911 and prevent the bristles of the roller brush 911 from scratching or even breaking against the protrusions 1111. During the self-cleaning process, the protrusions 1112 can also squeeze the roller brush 911, accelerating the seepage of water from the roller brush 911. In addition, the protrusions 1112 can also collect hair on the roller brush 911, helping to clean the roller brush 911.

[0039] In one embodiment, refer to Figure 8 It can be seen that in the first placement area 111, along the radial direction of the roller brush 911, the protrusion 1112 completely covers the first placement area 111. That is, in this embodiment, the protrusion 1112 extends from the air outlet 1111 towards the first placement area 111 until it covers the entire first placement area 111. By increasing the area of ​​the protrusion 1112, the contact surface between the protrusion 1112 and the roller brush 911 is increased. At this time, the protrusion 1112 supports the roller brush 911, meaning that the roller brush 911 does not have an area that is completely in contact with the first placement area 111, allowing air to circulate around the roller brush 911 between the two protrusions 1112. In another embodiment, the protrusion 1112 does not completely cover the first placement area 111, see reference... Figure 4 As shown, a protrusion 1112 is provided only at the end of the first placement area 111 near the air outlet 1111, meaning that at this time, a portion of the roller brush 911 is completely attached to the first placement area 111. In this embodiment, the protrusion 1112 is relative to... Figure 8 The protrusion 1112 shown is relatively small, and its contact area with the roller brush 911 is also smaller, but compared to... Figure 8 The protrusion 1112 shown makes it easier to insert into the roller brush 911. Even though in this embodiment, because part of the roller brush 911 is completely attached to the first placement area 111, allowing only a small amount of hot air to circulate around the roller brush 911, the rotation of the roller brush 911 itself can still achieve overall air drying. Furthermore, compared to the arrangement where the protrusion 1112 completely covers the first placement area 111, providing the protrusion 1112 only at the end of the first placement area 111 prevents wastewater seeping from the roller brush 911 from contacting the protrusion 1112 for extended periods, thus avoiding contamination of the protrusion 1112. In other embodiments, when the protrusion does not completely cover the first placement area, the position of the protrusion is not limited to... Figure 4 The end shown near the air outlet can be freely positioned within the first placement area.

[0040] like Figure 2As shown, in one embodiment, a first groove 150 is provided between the first placement area 111 and the second placement area 112, and a first sealing member 160 is provided within the first groove 150, separating the first placement area 111 from the second placement area 112. The first sealing member 160 between the first placement area 111 and the second placement area 112 prevents wastewater from overflowing into the second placement area 112 during the self-cleaning process. If the second placement area 112 is contaminated, it is difficult to self-clean and requires manual cleaning, which reduces the user experience. Furthermore, the first sealing member 160 seals the roller brush 911 within the first placement area 111 during drying, thereby improving the drying effect and accelerating the drying speed of the roller brush 911.

[0041] like Figure 3 As shown, in another embodiment, a second groove 151 is provided at the air outlet 1111, and a second seal 161 is provided within the second groove 151, with the second seal 161 partially abutting against the air outlet 1111. Providing the second seal 161 at the air outlet 1111 can change the direction of the airflow from the air outlet 1111, allowing the airflow to act directly on the roller brush 911 along the second seal 161. In this embodiment, the air outlet 1111 is arranged along the axial direction of the roller brush 911 and located at the end of the first placement area 111 away from the second placement area 112. The protrusion 1112 is also arranged along the axial direction of the roller brush 911 and separates the air outlet 1111. At this time, the second seal 161 abuts against the protrusion 1112, and the cooperation between the protrusion 1112 and the second seal 161 further facilitates airflow guidance. At this time, the second sealing element 161 can seal the roller brush 911 in the first placement area 111 during self-cleaning and air drying, thereby improving the air drying effect of the roller brush 911 and accelerating the air drying speed of the roller brush 911.

[0042] In another embodiment, a first sealing element 160 and a second sealing element 161 can be provided simultaneously, and the arrangement method is the same as described above, so it will not be repeated here. The base 100 of this embodiment can prevent sewage from overflowing from the first placement area 111 to the second placement area 112, and can also change the direction of the air flowing out from the air outlet 1111, so that the air acts directly on the roller brush 911.

[0043] Combination Figure 4As shown, in another embodiment, a third groove 152 may be provided on the outer periphery of the first placement area 111, and a third sealing member 162 may be provided in the third groove 152. The third sealing member 162 separates the first placement area 111 from other parts of the upper surface of the base body 110. By providing a third seal 162 around the outer periphery of the first placement area 111, the first placement area 111 can be separated from other parts of the upper surface of the base body 110, so that the roller brush 911 is completely sealed between the roller brush housing 912 and the first placement area 111. This prevents wastewater from splashing from the first placement area 111 onto other parts of the base body 110 or the ground around the placement location of the base 100 during the self-cleaning process of the roller brush 911. In addition, compared to providing the first seal 160 only between the first placement area 111 and the second placement area 112, the third seal 162 surrounding the first placement area 111 can completely seal the roller brush 911 in the first placement area 111 when it is drying, thereby improving the drying effect of the roller brush 911 and accelerating the drying speed of the roller brush 911. When the air outlet 1111 is located at any position on the outer periphery of the first placement area 111, the third seal 162 also serves to guide the airflow. In addition, based on the above, it is obvious that when the protrusion 1112 is combined with the air outlet 1111 and located at any position on the outer periphery of the first placement area 111, the third seal 162 abuts against the protrusion 1112 to change the airflow direction, which will not be elaborated further here.

[0044] like Figure 9 As shown, the first sealing element 160 is a T-shaped sealing element, meaning its cross-section is T-shaped. It includes a vertical plate 1601 and a horizontal plate 1602 that are perpendicular to each other. The vertical plate 1601 is adapted to the first groove 150 to fix the position of the first sealing element 160 and prevent it from moving when the cleaning unit 900 is removed from the base 100. The second sealing element 161 and the third sealing element 162 are also T-shaped sealing elements, each including a vertical plate 1601 and a horizontal plate 1602 that are perpendicular to each other. The overall structure of the first sealing element 160, the second sealing element 161, and the third sealing element 162 is adapted to the first groove 150, the second groove 151, and the third groove 152, respectively.

[0045] In one embodiment, refer to Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7It can be seen that after the horizontal plate 1602 of the third seal 162 near the protrusion 1112 is deformed by the roller brush housing 912, it fits into the protrusion 1112. The third groove 152 is connected to the air outlet 1111. Therefore, by setting the third seal 162 in the third groove 152, it can guide the air direction and prevent the air generated by the drying component 130 from overflowing. The air direction changes from flowing out along the air outlet 1111 to flowing out along the vertical plate 1601 of the third seal 162 first, and then along the horizontal plate 1602 of the third seal 162. Finally, the air flows into the space between the protrusions 1112 and directly acts on the inside of the roller brush between the protrusions 1112, increasing the contact area between the roller brush and the air, so that the air can enter the inside of the roller brush 911, thereby improving the drying effect of the roller brush 911 and accelerating the drying speed of the roller brush 911.

[0046] Furthermore, compared to other seals, the T-shaped seal has a larger surface area of ​​the horizontal plate 1602, meaning a larger surface area in contact with other components. This allows the first seal 160 and / or the second seal 161 or the third seal 162 to completely cover the roller brush housing 912 and the bottom of the floor brush assembly 910, maximizing the airflow generated by the drying assembly 130 within the space enclosed by the first placement area 111, the roller brush housing 912, and the floor brush assembly 910, thus maximizing efficiency. The vertical plate 1601 of the first seal 160 can be hollow to increase its elasticity and reduce its weight. To further strengthen the structure of the first seal 160, reinforcing ribs can be added to the hollow structure of the vertical plate 1601. The second seal 161 and the third seal 162 can both adopt the same structure as the first seal 160, which will not be described further here. Of course, the vertical plate 1601 can also be set as a solid structure or other structures that are conducive to assembly, and there are no restrictions here.

[0047] like Figure 2As shown, in one embodiment, the first placement area 111 is arc-shaped. This arc shape better covers and supports the roller brush 911, allowing the base 100 of the cleaning system 1000 to stably support the cleaning host 900. Furthermore, when the protrusion 1112 is located at the end of the first placement area 111, the arc shape facilitates the insertion of the protrusion 1112 into the roller brush 911, increasing the contact area between the protrusion 1112 and the roller brush 911 and accelerating the drying speed of the roller brush 911. Additionally, the arc-shaped design of the first placement area 111 better accommodates wastewater generated during the self-cleaning process of the roller brush 911, preventing wastewater from flowing into the second placement area 112. In this embodiment, the vertical height of the first placement area 111 along the radial direction of the roller brush 911 is higher than the height of the second placement area 112. This facilitates the installation of the seal, prevents wastewater overflow, and allows for better matching with the floor brush assembly 910. In other embodiments, there is no restriction on whether the height of the first placement area on both sides along the radial direction of the brush in the vertical direction is higher than the height of the second placement area; they can be the same as the height of the second placement area.

[0048] like Figure 2 As shown, the base 100 also includes a support column 180, which is connected above the base 100 so that when the floor brush assembly 910 is placed on the base 100, the body of the cleaning unit 900 is attached to the support column 180. The support column 180 has a hollow structure and houses a charging assembly and controller (not shown in the figure). The support column 180 protects the charging assembly and controller. The area of ​​the base 100 is much larger than the area of ​​the support column 180, thus supporting the support column 180, stabilizing its structure, and facilitating subsequent support of the cleaning unit 900. Furthermore, when the floor brush assembly 910 of the cleaning host 900 is placed on the base 100, the body 910 of the cleaning host 900 can be hung on the support column 180. The stable support column 180 can increase the contact area between the base 100 and the cleaning host 900, improve the positional stability of the cleaning host 900, and enable the cleaning host 900 to dry stably.

[0049] Optionally, the base 100 and the support column 180 are manufactured using a one-piece molding process. This one-piece molding process ensures that the base 100 and support column 180 do not require pre-assembly machining processes such as welding or screw connections, effectively simplifying the assembly process and improving the assembly efficiency of the base 100. Simultaneously, the one-piece molding process effectively avoids deformation of the base 100 caused by pre-machining, effectively improving the assembly accuracy of the base 100 and support column 180.

[0050] Of course, in other examples, the base 100 and the support column 180 can also be two separate structures. After the base 100 and the support column 180 are processed separately, the support column 180 can be connected to the base 100 by non-detachable connection methods such as welding and bonding. The support column 180 can also be connected to the base 100 by detachable connection methods such as bolt connection and snap-fit ​​connection, so that the base 100 is easy to disassemble and assemble, and easy to maintain and replace.

[0051] like Figure 6 As shown, the air-drying assembly 130 includes a heat source component 131 and an air source component 132. The heat source component 131 is disposed between the air outlet end and the air outlet 1111 of the air source component 132, and can convert cold air into hot air before it flows out through the air outlet 1111. The hot air makes the drying speed of the roller brush 911 faster. The heat source component 131 can be a PTC heating element, an electric heating wire, an electric heating tube, an electric heating plate, etc. In this embodiment, the heat source component 131 is a PTC heating element. The PTC heating element is composed of a ceramic heating element and an aluminum tube, which has the advantages of low thermal resistance, high heat exchange efficiency, automatic temperature control, and energy saving. In addition, the PTC heating element does not produce the surface "reddening" phenomenon of electric heating tube heaters, which can cause burns, fires, and other safety hazards, thus benefiting the safety of household appliances. The heat source component 131 is at least partially located below the first placement area 111. At this time, in addition to turning cold air into hot air and speeding up the drying speed of the roller brush 911, the heat source 131 can also transfer heat to the base body 110, thereby indirectly transferring heat to the roller brush 911 and accelerating the drying of the roller brush 911.

[0052] The air source component 132 can be an axial flow fan or a centrifugal fan. The air inlet and outlet directions of the axial flow fan are both along the fan axis, while the centrifugal fan can have axial air inlet and radial air outlet. The air source component 132 can be a bladed fan or a bladeless fan, etc. This application embodiment does not particularly limit the specific form of the air source component 132. In this embodiment, the air source component 132 includes at least one fan. Compared to the traditional method of using only one fan, multiple fans provide greater airflow and accelerate drying. In this embodiment, the air source component 132 is located below the second placement area 112. Compared to the traditional method of placing the air source component 132 within the support column 180, placing the air source component 132 below the second placement area 112 in this embodiment shortens the air duct, reduces airflow loss, and maximizes efficiency. Preferably, the air source component 132 is located below the second placement area 112 near the first placement area 111.

[0053] In other embodiments, the drying assembly may not have a heat source component, but only an air source component. Cold air can also dry the roller brush, reducing problems such as bacterial growth after heating. The location of the air source component and the number of fans are not limited and can be the same as in the prior art, as long as they can achieve the function of generating air.

[0054] like Figure 2 As shown, the base 100 also includes a pedal 170, which is fixedly connected to the outer side of the base body 110 to assist in separating the floor brush assembly 910 from the base 100. To ensure the cleaning unit 900 is stably fixed to the base 100, the floor brush assembly 910 is securely connected to the base body 110. When removing the cleaning unit 900 from the base 100, it is difficult to detach the cleaning unit 900 from the base 100, and the base 100 may move along with it during the removal process. To avoid this, the pedal 170 is provided. When removing the cleaning unit 900 from the base 100, stepping on or pressing the pedal 170 can fix the base 100 and easily remove the cleaning unit 900.

[0055] The cleaning system 1000 of this application has a base 100 with a plurality of protrusions 1112 on a first placement area 111. One end of the plurality of protrusions 1112 is inserted into the interior of the roller brush 911, increasing the contact surface between the roller brush 911 and the air, making it easier for the air generated by the drying component 130 to enter the interior of the roller brush 911, thereby improving the drying effect of the roller brush 911 and accelerating the drying speed of the roller brush 911.

[0056] Furthermore, the first seal 160 between the first placement area 111 and the second placement area 112 prevents wastewater from overflowing into the second placement area 112 during the self-cleaning process, thus saving the user the trouble of cleaning the second placement area 112 and improving the user experience. Secondly, the first seal 160 can seal the roller brush 911 within the first placement area 111 when it is drying, thereby improving the drying effect of the roller brush 911 and accelerating its drying speed. In addition, the second seal 161 at the air outlet 1111 can change the direction of the air flowing out of the air outlet 1111, so that the air generated by the drying assembly 130 directly acts on the roller brush 911.
