[0056] For driver component 4 mentioned above, please refer to Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 10The drive assembly 4 includes a fixed frame 41, a rack 42, a push rod 43, a gear 44, a drive component 45, a first elastic element 46, and a third sealing element 47. The fixed frame 41 is fixed within the receiving groove 213 and has a first sliding groove 411 and a second opening 412, with the second opening 412 communicating with the first sliding groove 411. The rack 42 is slidably disposed in the first sliding groove 411 and has a second sliding groove 421 and a fourth opening 422, with the fourth opening 422 communicating with both the second sliding groove 421 and the first sliding groove 411, and the fourth opening 422 being opposite to the second opening 412. Push rod 43 is received in the second slide groove 421 and can slide relative to the second slide groove 421. One end of push rod 43 extends out of the first slide groove 411 and the second slide groove 421, and the other end of push rod 43 passes through the third opening 331 and connects to the cover 321. A connecting part 431 is provided on one side of push rod 43. The connecting part 431 extends out of the second slide groove 421 from the fourth opening 422 and extends out of the first slide groove 411 from the second opening 412.

The bevel is used to connect with the other end of intake push rod 341. Gear 44 meshes with rack 42. Drive member 45 is fixed to the fixing frame 41, and the output shaft of drive member 45 is fixed to gear 44. First elastic member 46 is received in the second slide groove 421. One end of first elastic member 46 abuts against the bottom of the second slide groove 421, and the other end of first elastic member 46 abuts against the other end of push rod 43. The first elastic element 46, under its own force, causes the push rod 43 to push against the cover 321, thereby putting the drain outlet 311 into a pressure-sealed state and preventing sewage leakage. The third sealing element 47 is fixed at the third opening 331, through which the push rod 43 passes, and is used to seal the gap between the push rod 43 and the third opening 331. When the first sewage tank 31 needs to be discharged, the drive component 45 drives the gear 44 to rotate, causing the rack 42 to slide along the first slide groove 411 away from the sewage outlet 311, thereby driving the push rod 43 to slide. Under the action of the second elastic member 322, the cover 321 rotates relative to the first sewage tank 31, causing the first seal 323 to separate from the first sewage tank 31, so as to open the sewage outlet 311. At the same time as the first seal 323 separates from the first sewage tank 31, the push rod 43 drives the air intake rod 341 to slide along the air intake pipe 312, causing the second seal 343 to separate from one end of the air intake pipe 312, so as to open one end of the air intake pipe 312, so that the receiving groove 213 is connected to the first sewage tank 31. This further allows the gas to enter the first sewage tank 31 along the airflow channel through the air intake pipe 312 and the air intake groove 313, thereby making the interior of the first sewage tank 31 equal to the outside pressure, so that the sewage can be discharged from the first sewage tank 31 through the sewage outlet 311, realizing automatic sewage discharge.After the sewage discharge is completed, the drive component 45 drives the gear 44 to rotate, causing the rack 42 to slide along the first slide groove 411 towards the sewage outlet 311, thereby driving the push rod 43 to slide and push the cover 321 to rotate, so that the first seal 323 abuts against the first sewage tank 31 to close the sewage outlet 311. At the same time that the first seal 323 abuts against the first sewage tank 31, the air intake push rod 341 slides along the air intake pipe 312 under the action of the third elastic member 342, so that the second seal 343 abuts against one end of the air intake pipe 312 to close one end of the air intake pipe 312, thereby disconnecting the receiving groove 213 from the first sewage tank 31.

[0057] In some embodiments, the drive member 45 is a motor, and the first elastic member 46 is a tension spring.

[0058] In some embodiments, the drive assembly 4 further includes a first contact sensor 48 and a second contact sensor 49. The mounting bracket 41 is provided with a through groove 413 and a connecting port (not shown), the connecting port communicating with the through groove 413 and the first sliding groove 411. A detection part 423 is provided on the side of the rack 42 away from the gear 44, extending from the connecting port into the through groove 413. The first contact sensor 48 and the second contact sensor 49 are fixed within the through groove 413, with the first contact sensor 48 located on one side of the connecting port and the second contact sensor 49 located on the other side. Both the first contact sensor 48 and the second contact sensor 49 are used to cooperate with the detection part 423 to detect the state of the valve assembly 32 and the air intake assembly 34. When the first contact sensor 48 abuts against the detection unit 423, the valve assembly 32 is in a state of closing the drain port 311, and the air intake assembly 34 is in a state of closing one end of the air intake pipe 312. When the second contact sensor 49 abuts against the detection unit 423, the valve assembly 32 is in a state of opening the drain port 311, and the air intake assembly 34 is in a state of opening one end of the air intake pipe 312. The first contact sensor 48 and the second contact sensor 49 are microswitches, but are not limited to this; the first contact sensor 48 and the second contact sensor 49 can also be other structures, such as limit switches, etc.

The second water pump 53 is fixed to the receiving tank 213 and is connected to the clean water tank 51 and the clean water outlet 2111 via a pipe; the second water pump 53 is used to replenish clean water to the floor scrubber. The solenoid valve 54 is fixed inside the receiving tank 213 and is connected to the first water pump 52 and the clean water inlet 2121 via a pipe; the solenoid valve 54 is used to connect or close the first water pump 52 to the clean water inlet 2121. When the clean water tank 51 needs automatic replenishment, the solenoid valve 54 opens, and the first water pump 52 starts working to draw clean water into the clean water tank 51. When the water tank 51 needs to be manually replenished, the user opens the top cover 223, takes out the water tank 51, and carries it to a water source to replenish the water. After replenishment, the user places the water tank 51 into the receiving cavity 224 and closes the top cover 223.

The housing 2 is fixed to the base 1 and has a receiving groove 213 and a receiving cavity 224. The receiving groove 213 communicates with the first opening 11. The sewage discharge mechanism 3 includes a first sewage tank 31, a valve assembly 32, an air intake assembly 34, and a second sewage tank 35. The first sewage tank 31 is fixed in the receiving groove 213 and has a sewage outlet 311 and an air intake pipe 312. The valve assembly 32 is rotatably connected to the first sewage tank 31 and closes the sewage outlet 311. The air intake assembly 34 is slidably disposed on the air intake pipe 312. The air intake assembly 34 closes one end of the air intake pipe 312. The second sewage tank 35 is movably housed in the receiving cavity 224. The drive assembly 4 is fixed in the receiving groove 213. The drive assembly 4 is connected to the valve assembly 32. The drive assembly 4 is used to drive the valve assembly 32 to open the sewage outlet 311 so that the sewage outlet 311 communicates with the first opening 11, or to close the sewage outlet 311 so that the sewage outlet 311 is disconnected from the first opening 11. The drive assembly 34 also drives the air intake assembly 34 to open one end of the air intake pipe 312 so that the receiving groove 213 communicates with the first sewage tank 31, or to close one end of the air intake pipe 312 so that the receiving groove 213 is disconnected from the first sewage tank 31.

[0062] When the first sewage tank 31 needs to be emptied, the drive assembly 4 drives the valve assembly 32 to open the sewage outlet 311 and drives the air intake assembly 34 to open the air intake pipe 312, making the pressure inside the first sewage tank 31 equal to that of the outside, thereby allowing the sewage to be automatically discharged from the sewage outlet 311, achieving automatic sewage discharge. When the second sewage tank 35 needs to be emptied, the user takes out the second sewage tank 35 and lifts it to the drain to discharge the sewage, achieving manual sewage discharge. When the clean water tank 51 needs to be refilled, the solenoid valve 54 opens, the first water pump 52 starts, and pumps clean water to the clean water tank 51, achieving automatic water replenishment. When the clean water tank 51 needs to be refilled, the user takes out the clean water tank 51 and lifts it to the water source to replenish the clean water, achieving manual water replenishment. The automatic sewage discharge and automatic water replenishment functions enable the base station 100 to be applied to scenarios with sewers and water supply pipes, such as balconies. The manual sewage discharge and manual water replenishment functions enable the base station 100 to be used in indoor scenarios, such as living rooms, thus allowing the base station 100 to meet different application scenarios.

[0063] The present invention also provides an embodiment of a cleaning system, which includes a floor scrubber and the aforementioned base station 100. When the floor scrubber is placed in the placement slot 12 of the base station 100 and connected to the base station 100, the sewage inlet 2112 of the base station 100 is connected to the sewage discharge channel of the floor scrubber, and the clean water outlet 2111 of the base station 100 is connected to the water replenishment channel of the floor scrubber. The structure and function of the base station 100 can be referred to the above embodiment, and will not be described in detail here.
