[0015] 1. By controlling the cleaning member to enter the cleaning groove after the wiping member completes cleaning, the cleaning member can clean the cleaning groove in which the wiping member has been cleaned, so that the dirt remaining in the cleaning groove after the wiping member is cleaned is removed. Compared with cleaning the cleaning groove by the user, because the wiping member has just been cleaned in the cleaning groove at this time, the dirt has not been in the cleaning groove for a long time, so the adhesion to the cleaning groove is not strong, thereby making the cleaning of the cleaning groove more convenient and easy, effectively reducing the accumulation and adhesion of dirt in the cleaning groove, and reducing the cleaning work of the user and improving the user experience.

[0016] 2. By setting the cleaning component to a cleaning structure capable of cleaning the surface to be cleaned, the cleaning robot can use the cleaning component to clean the cleaning tank of the base station, and at the same time, it can also use the cleaning component to clean the surface to be cleaned, thus increasing the practicality of the cleaning component.

[0017] 3. Because the cleaning protrusions inside the cleaning tank are at a certain height relative to the bottom wall of the cleaning tank, by setting flexible bristles or flexible brush strips on the side brush, when the side brush rotates in the cleaning tank to clean it, the original size of the flexible bristles or flexible brush strips can contact the bottom wall of the cleaning tank, thereby cleaning the bottom wall of the cleaning tank. At the same time, when the flexible bristles or flexible brush strips encounter the cleaning protrusions, they can deform under the resistance of the cleaning protrusions, ensuring the cleaning effect on the cleaning protrusions, and preventing the side brush from being blocked by the cleaning protrusions and stopping its rotation, thus ensuring the smooth operation of the side brush in cleaning the cleaning tank.

[0018] 4. By connecting the side brush to the cleaning robot in a floating manner, when the side brush rotates in the cleaning tank to clean it, it can contact the bottom wall of the cleaning tank when it is misaligned with the cleaning protrusions, thereby cleaning the bottom wall of the cleaning tank. At the same time, when the side brush encounters a cleaning protrusion, it can float upward under the resistance of the protrusion, thus floating to the top of the cleaning protrusion. This ensures that the side brush can effectively clean the cleaning protrusions without being blocked by them and stopping its rotation, thus ensuring the smooth cleaning of the cleaning tank.

[0031] The self-cleaning cleaning system of the present application comprises a cleaning robot and a base station, the cleaning robot is provided with a mopping member for mopping a to-be-cleaned surface at one end in the front-rear direction, and is provided with a cleaning member at the other end, the base station is provided with a cleaning tank for cleaning the mopping member, and the cleaning robot is used for: controlling the mopping member to be accommodated in the cleaning tank to clean the mopping member; after the mopping member is cleaned, controlling the cleaning member to be accommodated in the cleaning tank, so that the cleaning member cleans the cleaning tank.

[0032] The cleaning robot is controlled to enter the cleaning tank after the wiping member finishes cleaning, so that the cleaning member can clean the cleaning tank in which the wiping member is cleaned, thereby removing dirt remaining in the cleaning tank after the wiping member is cleaned, and compared with cleaning the cleaning tank by the user, since the wiping member just finishes cleaning in the cleaning tank at this time, the dirt has not been in the cleaning tank for a long time, so the adhesion to the cleaning tank is not strong, thereby making the cleaning of the cleaning tank more convenient and easy, effectively reducing the accumulation and adhesion of dirt in the cleaning tank, and reducing the cleaning work of the user, improving the user experience.

[0033] The specific structure of the base station and the cleaning system of the application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0034] The first embodiment of the application:

[0035] As shown in Figure 1 , the cleaning system of the embodiment includes a cleaning robot 1 and a base station 2.

[0036] As shown, the cleaning robot 1 includes a body 11, and a wiping member 12, a driving wheel 13 and a cleaning member 14 located at the bottom side of the body 11. Among them, the wiping member 12 is a rotating wiping member, the wiping member 12 is rotationally connected with the body 11 through a rotating shaft, the bottom surface of the wiping member 12 is in contact with the surface to be cleaned, the cleaning robot 1 can move on the surface to be cleaned by the driving wheel 13, and the rotating wiping member 12 can clean the surface to be cleaned in the process of self-moving. The cleaning member 14 is used to clean the dust and dirt on the surface to be cleaned, and the cleaning member 14 and the wiping member 12 are respectively arranged at the front and rear ends of the cleaning robot 1.

[0037] As shown in Figure 2 , specifically, the cleaning member 14 includes a side brush 141 and a dust suction assembly, the dust suction assembly includes a suction inlet 142 and a roller brush 143 arranged in the suction inlet 142, the side brush 141 is pivotally connected with the body 11, and the dust suction assembly is located between the side brush 141 and the wiping member 12. In the process of self-moving of the cleaning robot 1, the rotating side brush 141 can sweep the surface to be cleaned and sweep the dust and dirt on the surface to be cleaned to the suction inlet 142, the cleaning robot 1 sucks away and collects the dust and dirt through the suction inlet 142, and the roller brush 143 can roll the dust and dirt into the suction inlet 142.

[0038] It should be noted that the roller brush 143 can be arranged in the suction inlet 142 or on the front side of the suction inlet 142.

[0039] As shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the base station 2 comprises a base station body 21 and a base 22. The base 22 is used to guide the cleaning robot to dock with the base station 2 and carry the cleaning robot after docking with the base station 2, and the base 22 is provided with a cleaning tank 221. When the cleaning robot needs to clean the mop 12, the cleaning robot can dock with the base station 2 according to its own control program.

[0040] In combination Figure 5 And Figure 6 As shown, the cleaning robot 1 is provided with a processor and a memory, and the processor and the memory are connected through a bus. When the cleaning robot needs to clean the mop 12, the processor of the cleaning robot 1 controls the cleaning robot 1 to dock with the base station 2 according to the instructions stored in the memory, and the instructions are:

[0041] S1 controls the mop 12 to be contained in the cleaning tank 221 to clean the mop 12;

[0042] S2 controls the cleaning element 14 to be contained in the cleaning tank 221 after the mop 12 is cleaned, so that the cleaning element 14 cleans the cleaning tank 221.

[0043] Specifically, the cleaning robot first makes one end of the mop 12 face the base station 2 and docks with the base station 2 in place, and then the mop 12 is located in the cleaning tank 221 and cleaned in the cleaning tank 221. After the mop 12 is cleaned, the cleaning robot first controls the mop 12 to leave the cleaning tank 221, and then makes one end of the side brush 141 face the base station 2 and docks with the base station 2 in place. After that, the cleaning element 14 is located in the cleaning tank 221, the rotating side brush 141 can clean the cleaning tank 221, and the suction port 142 can suck away part of the dirt in the cleaning tank 221. Specifically, the time for cleaning the mop 12 can be preset in the execution instructions of the cleaning robot 1. After the mop 12 is cleaned for the preset time, the cleaning element 14 is controlled to clean the cleaning tank 221.

[0044] As can be understood by those skilled in the art, by making the cleaning robot control the cleaning element 14 to enter the cleaning tank 221 after the mop 12 is cleaned, the cleaning element 14 can clean the cleaning tank 221 after the mop 12 is cleaned, thereby removing the dirt remaining in the cleaning tank 221 after the mop 12 is cleaned. In addition, compared with cleaning the cleaning tank 221 by the user himself, because the mop 12 has just been cleaned in the cleaning tank 221 at this time, the dirt remaining in the cleaning tank 221 does not stay for a long time, so the adhesion to the cleaning tank 221 is not strong, thereby making the cleaning of the cleaning tank 221 more convenient and easy, effectively reducing the accumulation and adhesion of dirt in the cleaning tank 221, and reducing the cleaning work of the user, improving the user experience.

[0045] It should be noted that the base 22 and the base 22 can be integrally formed, or can be a separate structure fixed together. In addition, the cleaning tank 221 can be directly formed on the base 22; or a cleaning disc can be provided separately connected with the base 22, and the cleaning tank is formed on the cleaning disc.

[0046] It should be further noted that when the cleaning member 14 cleans the cleaning tank 221, the side brush 141 and the dust suction assembly can work simultaneously, or the side brush 141 can work for a period of time and then stop, and then the dust suction assembly starts to work, and the cycle is repeated.

[0047] As shown in Figure 4 , specifically, the cleaning tank 221 is provided with two groups of cleaning protrusions (not labeled in the figure), each group of cleaning protrusions includes three cleaning ribs 222, and the three cleaning ribs 222 are arranged around the bottom wall area of the cleaning tank 221. Specifically, the end portions of the three cleaning ribs 222 do not contact, and the extension lines of the three cleaning rib axes intersect at a point. A circular region with the intersection point contacts the end portions of the three cleaning ribs 222, that is, the three cleaning ribs 222 surround the region. When the wiping member 12 of the cleaning robot is located in the cleaning tank 221, the two wiping members 12 correspond to the two groups of cleaning protrusions respectively, and the bottom surface of the wiping member 12 can abut against the plurality of cleaning ribs 222, so that the cleaning ribs 222 can scrape and clean the rotating wiping member 12.

[0048] As shown in Figures 2 to 4 , further, the cleaning robot 1 is provided with two side brushes 141, each side brush 141 is provided with three flexible bristles 1411 made of flexible material, and the three flexible bristles 1411 are arranged around the rotating shaft of the side brush 141. When the cleaning member 14 of the cleaning robot is located in the cleaning tank 221, the two side brushes 141 correspond to the two groups of cleaning protrusions respectively, and the rotating shaft of the side brush 141 corresponds to the region surrounded by the plurality of cleaning ribs 222. Therefore, during the rotation of the side brush 141, when the flexible bristles 1411 are misaligned with the cleaning ribs 222, the flexible bristles 1411 of the side brush 141 can contact the bottom wall of the cleaning tank 221 to scrape off the dirt remaining on the cleaning tank 221. When the flexible bristles 1411 hit the cleaning ribs 222, the flexible bristles 1411 can be deformed under the resistance of the cleaning ribs 222, so that the cleaning of the cleaning ribs 222 is carried out at the same time, and the rotation of the side brush 141 is not stopped by the cleaning ribs 222, ensuring the smooth cleaning of the cleaning tank 221 by the side brush 141. Preferably, the included angle between adjacent flexible bristles 1411 is 120 degrees, and the included angle between adjacent cleaning ribs 222 is 120 degrees.

[0049] It should be noted that the side brush 141 can also be a single flexible brush strip made of flexible material, which can achieve the same effect. Alternatively, flexible bristles 1411 and flexible brush strips can be provided simultaneously. In addition, the number of flexible bristles 1411 of the cleaning ribs 222 can be equal or unequal, and the number can be two, three, or five, etc.

[0050] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, base station 2 also includes a liquid supply component and a sewage discharge component. The liquid supply component includes a clean water tank 23, a delivery pump (not shown in the figure), and a liquid supply pipeline (not shown in the figure). The clean water tank 23 stores cleaning liquid. When activated, the delivery pump can deliver the cleaning liquid in the clean water tank 23 to the cleaning tank 221 through the liquid supply pipeline to assist in the cleaning work of the mop 12 and the cleaning work of the cleaning tank 221. The sewage discharge component includes a sewage collection tank 24, a suction pump (not shown in the figure), and a sewage suction pipeline (not shown in the figure). One end of the sewage suction pipeline is connected to the cleaning tank 221, and the other end is connected to the sewage collection tank 24. The suction pump is located in the fluid path of the sewage suction pipeline. When activated, the sewage suction pump can pump the sewage generated in the cleaning tank 221 due to the cleaning of the mop 12 into the sewage collection tank 24 through the sewage suction pipeline.

[0051] It should be noted that in this embodiment, a sewage tank can also be provided at the bottom of the cleaning tank 221, and a drain hole can be provided on the bottom wall of the cleaning tank 221 so that the sewage generated by cleaning the mopping parts 12 can fall into the sewage tank through the drain hole. The sewage pumping pipe is connected to the sewage tank, and the activated sewage pump pumps the sewage in the sewage tank into the sewage collection box through the sewage pumping pipe.

[0052] Combination Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the cleaning robot 1 can move on the surface to be cleaned using the drive wheels 13. During this movement, the rotating mopping component 12 wipes the surface, and the rotating side brush 141 sweeps the surface and brings dust and dirt to the suction port 142. The cleaning robot 1 then sucks the dust and dirt away through the suction port 142. Simultaneously, the roller brush 143 rolls the dust and dirt into the suction port 142. When the mopping component 12 needs cleaning, the cleaning robot 1 can automatically locate the base station 2 and dock with it.

[0053] The docking process of the cleaning robot 1 and the base station 2 is as follows: first, the cleaning robot 1 first makes one end of the mop 12 face the base station 2, and after docking in place with the base station 2, the mop 12 is located in the cleaning tank 221, one mop 12 corresponds to a set of cleaning protrusions, the cleaning robot 1 rotates the mop 12, at the same time, the delivery pump delivers the cleaning liquid in the cleaning liquid tank 23 into the cleaning tank 221, the mop 12 is cleaned by the scraping between the cleaning liquid and the cleaning ribs 222, and the sewage generated by the cleaning can be pumped into the sewage collection tank 24 for storage. Then, after the cleaning of the mop 12 is completed, the cleaning robot 1 first controls the mop 12 to leave the cleaning tank 221, and then makes one end of the side brush 141 face the base station 2, and after docking in place with the base station 2, the cleaning element 14 is located in the cleaning tank 221, the cleaning robot 1 rotates the side brush 141, the rotating side brush 141 scrapes the cleaning ribs 222 and the bottom wall of the cleaning tank 221 to remove the dirt attached thereto, at the same time, the delivery pump delivers the cleaning liquid in the cleaning liquid tank 23 into the cleaning tank 221 to timely flush away the dirt removed, part of the sewage carrying the dirt can be pumped into the sewage collection tank 24 by the sewage pump, and part of the sewage carrying the dirt can be sucked away by the suction port 142, thereby achieving cleaning of the cleaning tank 221.

[0054] The skilled in the art can understand that by making the cleaning robot 1 control the cleaning element 14 to enter the cleaning tank 221 after the mop 12 completes cleaning, the side brush 141 can clean the cleaning tank 221 in which the mop 12 has been cleaned, and the dirt remaining on the cleaning ribs 222 and the bottom wall of the cleaning tank 221 is scraped off, and compared with cleaning the cleaning tank 221 by the user, because the mop 12 has just completed cleaning in the cleaning tank 221 at this time, the dirt has not been in the cleaning tank 221 for a long time, so the adhesion to the cleaning tank 221 is not strong, thereby the side brush 141 can easily scrape off the dirt, the cleaning of the cleaning tank 221 is more convenient and easy, the accumulation and adhesion of the dirt in the cleaning tank 221 are effectively reduced, the cleaning work of the user is reduced, and the user experience is improved. Moreover, the cleaning robot 1 can clean the cleaning tank 221 by using the cleaning element 14, and can also clean the surface to be cleaned by using the cleaning element 14, thereby increasing the practicability of the cleaning element 14.

[0055] Further, by providing the flexible bristles 1411 on the side brush 141, the flexible bristles 1411 can contact the bottom wall of the cleaning tank 221 to clean the bottom wall of the cleaning tank 221, and at the same time, the cleaning of the cleaning ribs 222 can be realized without being blocked by the cleaning ribs 222 by the deformation of the flexible bristles 1411, thereby ensuring the cleaning effect of the side brush 141 on the cleaning tank 221.

[0056] The second embodiment of the present application is as follows:

[0057] Although not shown in the figure, unlike the first embodiment, the bristle of the present embodiment is arranged floatingly relative to the body, and the flexible bristle of the present embodiment can also be replaced by a harder scraping strip. The scraping strip can contact the bottom wall of the cleaning tank when it is misaligned with the cleaning rib, thereby cleaning the bottom wall of the cleaning tank. When the scraping strip encounters the cleaning rib, it can float upward under the resistance of the cleaning rib, thereby floating to the top of the cleaning rib. On the basis of ensuring the cleaning effect of the cleaning rib, the bristle will not be stopped by the cleaning rib, thereby ensuring the smooth cleaning of the cleaning tank by the bristle.

[0058] The third embodiment of the present application is as follows:

[0059] Although not shown in the figure, unlike the first embodiment, the cleaning member of the present embodiment is dedicated to cleaning the cleaning tank. Specifically, the cleaning member can be a brush, a scraping piece or other forms of components made of flexible material. The cleaning member is arranged on the bottom of the body in a lifting manner and is provided with a driving motor for driving the bristle to lift. When the cleaning robot moves on the surface to be cleaned, the cleaning member is suspended and does not contact the surface to be cleaned. However, when the cleaning member enters the cleaning tank, the driving motor drives the bristle to descend so that the bristle can contact the bottom wall of the cleaning tank. Preferably, the cleaning member is detachably connected to the body.
