[0051] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0052] Figure 1 A decomposition structure diagram of a base station provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown.

[0053] like Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a base station, which is used to charge and clean cleaning robots such as a sweeping robot, a mopping robot, and a sweeping and mopping robot. Among them, the sweeping robot uses a sweeping brush to sweep the floor, the mopping robot uses a mop to mop the floor, and the sweeping and mopping robot uses a mop to sweep and mop the floor. For ease of description, this application takes a mopping robot as an example for explanation.

[0054] When the mopping robot moves on the ground, the mop moves with the main body of the device, and at the same time the mop itself rotates, causing the rotating mop to slide against the ground, thereby achieving mopping and cleaning of the ground. During the cleaning process of the mopping robot, the mop needs to be frequently cleaned at the base station. After the sewage is discharged by the drainage pump, stains such as oil and floating dust will be attached to the tray of the base. After long-term use, it is easy to deteriorate and smell, breed bacteria, and affect the user experience.

[0055] To this end, the base station provided in the embodiment of the present application can automatically clean the stains generated when the tray performs the cleaning operation through the cleaning component arranged on the base, effectively preventing the residual stains from deteriorating, odors and breeding bacteria, thereby improving the user experience.

[0056] Specifically, the base station provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a base 1 and a main body 2. A receiving cavity 20 is provided at the bottom of the main body 2. The receiving cavity 20 is also called a "base dock". A water outlet (not shown in the figure) is provided above the receiving cavity 20. The water outlet is used to connect a liquid supply device to provide cleaning liquid for the base station. The base 1 is accommodated in the receiving cavity 20. The base 1 includes: a chassis assembly 10, a tray 11, a water inlet pipeline (not shown in the figure), a cleaning assembly 12, and a drainage device 13.

[0057] The tray 11 is stacked on the chassis assembly 10 and is detachably connected to the chassis assembly 10. The tray 11 is provided with cleaning ribs 110 for performing cleaning operations. The cleaning ribs 110 correspond to the position of the mop, for example, and are used to clean the mop.

[0058] One end of the water inlet pipe is connected to the water outlet, and the other end is connected to the tray 11, so as to introduce the cleaning liquid into the tray 11. The cleaning assembly 12 is used to clean the stains generated when the tray 11 performs the cleaning operation. One end of the drainage device 13 is connected to the tray 11, and the other end is connected to the sewage treatment device, so as to discharge the sewage through negative pressure. The sewage after cleaning the mop and the sewage after cleaning the tray 11 can be discharged to the sewage treatment device through the drainage device 13.

[0059] Therefore, the base station and base 1 provided in the embodiment of the present application can automatically clean the stains generated when the tray 11 performs the cleaning operation through the cleaning component 12 arranged on the base 1, effectively preventing the residual stains from deteriorating, odors and breeding bacteria, thereby improving the user experience.

[0060] The specific structure of the base 1 provided in the embodiment of the present application is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0061] Figure 2 A top view of a base provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown; Figure 3 Show Figure 2 An exploded structural diagram of the base shown; Figure 4 Show Figure 3 The back side and exploded structure diagram of the middle spray assembly; Figure 5 Show Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the structure of the back side of the middle tray along an angle; Figure 6 Show Figure 2 Schematic diagram of the structure of the back side of the middle tray from another angle.

[0062] In some embodiments, the tray 11 includes a bottom plate 111 and a side plate 112 surrounding a portion of the edge of the bottom plate 111 , an opening is formed between the remaining edge of the bottom plate 111 and the side plate 112 , and the cleaning rib 110 is disposed on the bottom plate 111 .

[0063] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the bottom plate 111 is provided with two cleaning ribs 110 spaced apart along its width direction, the two cleaning ribs 110 corresponding to the position of the mop, for example, and the cleaning ribs 110 are provided with a plurality of friction columns spaced apart, which can squeeze and rub the mop during the rotation of the mop, thereby improving the cleaning and drying effects of the mop. The opening formed between the remaining edge of the bottom plate 111 and the side plate 112 allows the mopping robot to enter the accommodating cavity 20 of the main body 2 via the tray 11, and clean the mop through the cleaning ribs 110 provided on the bottom plate 111.

[0064] In some embodiments, the cleaning assembly 12 includes a spray assembly 123 connected to the water inlet pipeline, and the spray assembly 123 is disposed on one side of the opening of the bottom plate 111. Furthermore, the spray assembly 123 is detachably connected to the bottom plate 111.

[0065] Specifically, the spray assembly 123 includes a first spray portion 123a extending along a first direction X of the bottom plate 111 and a plurality of second spray portions 123b connected to the first spray portion 123a and spaced apart, the second spray portion 123b extending along a second direction Y of the bottom plate 111, and the first direction X and the second direction Y intersectingly arranged. The first direction X may be the length direction of the bottom plate 111, and the second direction Y may be the width direction of the bottom plate 111; or the first direction X may be the width direction of the bottom plate 111, and the second direction Y may be the length direction of the bottom plate 111. The first spray portion 123a is used to clean the portion of the tray 11 close to the opening, and the second spray portion 123b is used to clean the portion of the tray 11 away from the opening.

[0066] Optionally, the range of the first spray part 123a is greater than or equal to the length of the second spray part 123b. Such an arrangement can make the cleaning liquid sprayed by the first spray part 123a and the second spray part 123b along the second direction Y of the tray 11 at least partially overlap, so as to ensure that the cleaning liquid can cover the length direction of the tray 11.

[0067] Optionally, the four second spray parts 123b are spaced apart along the length direction of the first spray part 123a, that is, spaced apart along the first direction X of the bottom plate 111, so that the sprayed cleaning liquid can cover the width direction of the tray 11, thereby ensuring that every corner of the tray 11 can be cleaned.

[0068] Furthermore, a plurality of first spray holes H1 are provided on the side of the first spray portion 123a facing the second spray portion 123b, and a second spray hole H2 is provided on the side of the second spray portion 123b away from the first spray portion 123a. The spray assembly 123 further includes a water guide pipe 123c located on the side of the bottom plate 111 facing the chassis assembly 10, and a water guide pipe is provided on the side of at least one second spray portion 123b facing the bottom plate 111, the water guide pipe passes through the bottom plate 111 and is connected to the water guide pipe 123c, and one end of the water guide pipe 123c away from the water guide pipe is connected to the water inlet pipeline.

[0069] Furthermore, among the multiple second spray parts 123b, at least one of the second spray parts 123b is provided with a first water pipe D1 on the side facing the bottom plate 111, and at least another one of the second spray parts 123b is provided with a second water pipe D2 on the side facing the bottom plate 111. The first water pipe D1 and the second water pipe D2 are independently controlled from each other, the first water pipe D1 is connected to the first spray part 123a, and the second water pipe D2 is connected to the multiple second spray parts 123b.

[0070] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the first spray hole H1 is a small round hole, and the second spray hole H2 is a long hole. Among the two second spray parts 123b located in the middle of the four second spray parts 123b, one second spray part 123b is provided with a first water pipe D1, and the other second spray part 123b is provided with a second water pipe D2. The first water pipe D1 and the second water pipe D2 are independently controlled. The first water pipe D1 is connected to the first spray part 123a, and the second water pipe D2 is connected to multiple second spray parts 123b.

[0071] Furthermore, a first groove S1 for accommodating the first spray portion 123a and a second groove S2 for accommodating the second spray portion 123b are provided on the open side of the bottom plate 111, at least one second groove S2 is provided with a first through hole H3 allowing the first water pipe D1 to pass through, and at least another second groove S2 is provided with a second through hole H4 allowing the second water pipe D2 to pass through.

[0072] In order to prevent the spray assembly 123 from moving due to the strong impact force of the water flow when spraying high-pressure cleaning liquid, a first groove S1 and a second groove S2 are set on the base plate 111 to accommodate the first spray part 123a and the second spray part 123b respectively. At the same time, the spray assembly 123 is detachably connected to the base plate 111, thereby improving the stability of the spray assembly 123.

[0073] Specifically, the second groove S2 is further provided with a support column P2 having a threaded hole, and the second spray portion 123b is threadedly connected to the threaded hole through a fastener 17, so that the spray assembly 123 is detachably connected to the bottom plate 111. Since the spray assembly 123 may be damaged after long-term use, since the spray assembly 123 is detachably connected to the bottom plate 111, the spray assembly 123 can be removed from the bottom plate 111 for replacement, further improving the user experience.

[0074] In addition, after the spray assembly 123 and the base plate 111 are assembled, sealant may be applied to the first through hole H3, the second through hole H4 and the support column P2 with threaded holes to prevent the cleaning liquid from leaking and contaminating the floor and other surrounding environments.

[0077] Furthermore, one of the water pipes 123c connected to the first water pipe D1 is provided with a first solenoid valve 15, and the other water pipe 123c connected to the second water pipe D2 is provided with a second solenoid valve 16. The first solenoid valve 15 and the second solenoid valve 16 are switched on and off in an interval cycle to control the first spray part 123a and the second spray part 123b to spray the cleaning liquid alternately and cyclically, that is, the high-pressure cleaning liquid is sprayed onto the tray 11 alternately and cyclically through the first spray hole H1 and the second spray hole H2.

[0078] Furthermore, among the plurality of second spraying parts 123 b , the second spraying parts 123 b located on both sides of the bottom plate 111 in the first direction X have an inclined surface F inclined toward the middle of the bottom plate 111 along the first direction X, and the second spraying holes H2 are disposed on the inclined surface F.

[0080] Furthermore, a plurality of cleaning protrusions P1 are provided on a side of the second spray portion 123 b away from the bottom plate 111 , for supporting and cleaning the object to be cleaned.

[0081] like Figure 2 As shown, the four second spray parts 123b correspond to the position of a mop, for example. A plurality of cleaning bosses P1 are provided on the side of the second spray part 123b facing away from the bottom plate 111. The plurality of cleaning bosses P1 can squeeze and rub the mop together with the plurality of friction columns on the cleaning ribs 110 during the rotation of the mop, thereby improving the cleaning and drying effects of the mop.

[0082] Furthermore, the drainage device 13 is arranged opposite to the open side of the bottom plate 111, and the drainage device 13 includes a drainage pump 131 and a drainage pipe 132 connected between the drainage pump 131 and the sewage treatment device. The drainage pump 131 can be a centrifugal pump, which includes a rotating impeller and a fixed pump casing. The liquid in the center of the impeller is thrown to the periphery under the action of inertial centrifugal force and gains energy, so that its static pressure energy increases and the flow rate increases. After the liquid leaves the impeller and enters the pump casing, the flow channel of the pump casing gradually expands, causing the liquid flow rate to slow down, and part of the kinetic energy is converted into static pressure energy. Therefore, the liquid with a higher pressure is transported to the sewage treatment device through the drainage pipe 132 of the pump.

[0083] Furthermore, a sewage trough 113 and a filter assembly 14 detachably mounted on the sewage trough 113 are provided on one side of the tray 11 close to the drainage device 13, and the filter assembly 14 is used to filter impurities in the sewage. The filter assembly 14 includes a frame and a filter connected to the frame, and the mesh of the filter can filter out large particles of stains. A hook is provided on the periphery of the frame of the filter assembly 14, and a snap button that cooperates with the hook is correspondingly provided on the sewage trough 113, so that the filter assembly 14 can be detachably mounted on the sewage trough 113, which is convenient for disassembling the filter assembly 14 and cleaning impurities in the sewage, and can also prevent impurities from clogging the drainage pump 131 and affecting the sewage discharge function of the drainage pump 131.

[0084] In one example, if Figure 3 As shown, the sewage tank 113 is formed by the bottom plate 111 being recessed toward the chassis assembly 10, and the drain pump 131 and the drain pipe 132 are located on the side of the side plate 112 away from the bottom plate 111. In another example, the sewage tank 113 is disposed on the side of the side plate 112 away from the bottom plate 111, the drain pump 131 is disposed in the sewage tank 113, and the drain pipe 132 passes through the cover plate 114 covering the sewage tank 113.

[0085] After washing the tray 11, the wastewater is discharged into the wastewater tank 113. When the liquid in the center of the impeller of the drainage pump 131 is thrown to the periphery, a low-pressure area is generated in the center of the impeller. Since the pressure above the liquid surface in the wastewater tank 113 is higher than the pressure at the inlet of the drainage pump 131, the liquid is sucked into the center of the impeller. Therefore, the impeller can continuously suck in and discharge the liquid by continuously rotating.

[0086] Figure 7 Show Figure 2 A cross-sectional view of the middle tray along direction BB; Figure 8 Show Figure 2 Schematic diagram of the top view of the middle tray.

[0087] Furthermore, the cleaning ribs 110 are arranged on both sides of the first direction X of the sewage trough 113 and extend in the direction toward the opening. The end of the cleaning rib 110 close to the bottom plate 111 is provided with a hollow portion E that penetrates laterally and is connected to the sewage trough 113. The side of the hollow portion E away from the sewage trough 113 is provided with a water diversion surface W inclined toward the hollow portion E, and the water diversion surface W is used to introduce water into the sewage trough 113.

[0088] like Figure 7 As shown, one end of the cleaning rib 110 close to the bottom plate 111 is provided with a hollow portion E that penetrates laterally and is connected to the sewage tank 113, and a water guide surface W that is inclined toward the hollow portion E is provided on the side of the hollow portion E away from the sewage tank 113. The hollow portion E can reduce the weight of the tray 11 on the one hand, and facilitate the cleaned sewage to enter the sewage tank 113 through the hollow portion E on the other hand, and be discharged through the drainage device 13 after being filtered by the filter assembly 14. A water guide surface W that is inclined toward the hollow portion E is provided on the side of the hollow portion E away from the sewage tank 113, so that the water guide surface W can guide water into the sewage tank 113, thereby improving the efficiency of sewage discharge.

[0089] Furthermore, the bottom plate 111 includes a first area A1, a second area A2, a third area A3 and a fourth area A4 with successively increasing heights, a sewage trough 113 is provided in the first area A1, a cleaning rib 110 is provided in the second area A2, the fourth area A4 is located between adjacent second spray parts 123b or between the second spray part 123b and the cleaning rib 110, and the third area A3 is located between the second area A2 and the fourth area A4.

[0090] like Figure 8 As shown, the bottom plate 111 includes a first area A1, a second area A2, a third area A3 and a fourth area A4 with successively increasing heights. By setting the bottom plate 111 of the tray 11 to flow from the relatively high fourth area A4 where the spray assembly 123 is located, through the third area A3 and the second area A2 where the heights gradually decrease, and finally gradually transitioning to the relatively low first area A1 where the sewage tank 113 is located, the efficiency of discharging sewage is further improved.

[0091] Furthermore, the side panel 112 of the tray 11 includes a first side panel 112a arranged opposite to the opening, a second side panel 112b and a third side panel 112c symmetrically distributed relative to the midline of the first direction X of the bottom panel 111, and the two ends of the first side panel 112a are smoothly connected to the second side panel 112b and the third side panel 112c respectively through an arc edge 112d, and the curvature of the arc edge 112d is π / 2.

[0092] like Figure 8As shown, the side panel 112 includes a first side panel 112a arranged opposite to the opening, a second side panel 112b and a third side panel 112c symmetrically distributed relative to the midline of the first direction X of the bottom panel 111, and the two ends of the first side panel 112a are respectively connected to the second side panel 112b and the third side panel 112c through a relatively large-angle arc edge 112d for smooth transition, thereby reducing the cleaning dead corners of the tray 11 and greatly improving the cleaning effect of the tray 11.

[0093] In some embodiments, the spray assembly 123 is also disposed on the side plate 112. The structure of the spray assembly 123 disposed on the symmetrically distributed second side plate 112b and the third side plate 112c is similar to the structure of the spray assembly 123 described above, for example, both include a first spray portion 123a and a plurality of second spray portions 123b that are connected to the first spray portion 123a and are spaced apart, which will not be described in detail. The spray assembly 123 disposed on the symmetrically distributed second side plate 112b and the third side plate 112c can respectively clean the side plates 112 on the opposite sides by spraying cleaning liquid, thereby further improving the cleaning effect of the tray 11.

[0094] Fig. 9 Show Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the structure of the base shown is a diagram showing a baffle in an expanded state.

[0095] like Figure 2 and Fig. 9 As shown, the chassis assembly 10 includes a chassis 101 and a baffle 102 that can be flipped relative to the chassis 101. The chassis 101 is detachably connected to the tray 11. The baffle 102 is located on the opening side of the bottom plate 111. When the cleaning assembly 12 cleans the tray 11, the baffle 102 flips over and covers the accommodating cavity 20 of the main body 2.

[0096] The baffle 102 has a certain slope, so that the mopping robot can enter the tray 11 by climbing the slope, and then clean the mop cloth at the cleaning ribs 110 of the bottom plate 111 of the tray 11. A plurality of anti-skid ribs are respectively arranged on both sides of the baffle 102 along the width direction, and the plurality of anti-skid ribs can prevent the mopping robot from slipping during the climbing process, thereby further improving the climbing ability.

[0097] In addition, a rotating shaft is provided on the side of the opening of the bottom plate 111 on the chassis 101, and the baffle 102 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft, so that the baffle 102 can be flipped relative to the chassis 101, and the flipping power can be manually operated by the user or driven by a motor. In this way, when the cleaning component 12 cleans the tray 11, the baffle 102 can be flipped relative to the chassis 101 and cover the accommodating cavity 20 of the main body 2, thereby preventing the cleaning liquid from splashing outward and contaminating the floor, further improving the user experience.

[0098] The technical solution provided by this embodiment is described below in conjunction with specific application scenarios.

[0099] like Figure 1 As shown, the base 1 of the base station is separately arranged from the main body 2 of the base station, the water outlet arranged on the main body 1 is used to connect to the liquid supply device so as to provide cleaning liquid for the base station, the water inlet pipeline arranged on the base 1 is used to introduce the cleaning liquid into the tray 11, the cleaning component 12 is used to clean the stains generated when the tray 11 performs the cleaning operation, and the drainage device 13 is used to discharge the sewage to the sewage treatment device through negative pressure.

[0100] When the mopping robot needs to be cleaned, it moves backward through the flip-over baffle 102 of the base 1 and enters the accommodating cavity 20 of the main body 2 of the base station, places the mop on the cleaning ribs 110 of the tray 11, and cleans the stains by rotating the mop.

[0101] like Figures 2 to 9 As shown, the cleaning component 12 includes a spray component 123, which is arranged on one side of the opening of the bottom plate 111. After the mop is cleaned and the mopping robot leaves the base 1, the high-pressure water flow sprayed by the first spray part 123a starts to clean the part of the tray 11 close to the opening, including the part of the bottom plate 111 and the side plate 112 close to the opening, and the high-pressure water flow sprayed by the second spray part 123b cleans the part of the tray 11 away from the opening, including the part of the bottom plate 111 and the side plate 112 away from the opening. The first solenoid valve 15 controls the amount and time of the first spray part 123a spraying the cleaning liquid, and the second solenoid valve 16 controls the amount and time of the second spray part 123b spraying the cleaning liquid. Optionally, the first solenoid valve 15 and the second solenoid valve 16 are switched on and off at intervals to control the first spray part 123a and the second spray part 123b to spray the cleaning liquid alternately and cyclically.

[0102] The spraying assembly 123 is also disposed on the side plate 112 . The spraying assemblies 123 disposed on the two symmetrically distributed side plates 112 can respectively clean the side plates 112 on the opposite sides by spraying cleaning liquid, thereby further improving the cleaning effect of the tray 11 .

[0103] If there are stubborn stains on the tray 11, the tray 11 can be cleaned by controlling the pressure and time of the high-pressure water flow sprayed by the first spray part 123a and the second spray part 123b of the spray assembly 123, so that the stubborn stains or garbage remaining on the inner wall of the tray 11 can be quickly removed.

[0104] In addition, during the process of cleaning the tray 11 by the cleaning component 12, the baffle 102 can be manually or automatically pushed to flip relative to the chassis 101 and cover the accommodating cavity 20 of the main body 2, thereby preventing the cleaning liquid from splashing outward and contaminating the floor, thereby improving the user experience.

[0105] After cleaning the tray 11, the stains that fall off flow into the sewage tank 113 along the direction of the water flow, and are first filtered out by the filter mesh of the filter mesh assembly 14 to remove large particles of impurities, and then the sewage is discharged to the sewage treatment device through the drainage pump 131 and the drainage pipe 132, completing the self-cleaning of the base 1 and improving the user experience.

[0106] If there are large particles of impurities in the filter after multiple cleanings, the filter assembly 14 can be removed from the sewage tank 113, the impurities that have not been filtered out can be cleaned, and then the filter assembly 14 can be installed in the sewage tank 113 to improve the cleaning effect of the tray 11. In addition, after long-term use, the base 1 may be damaged. Since the base 1 is detachably connected to the main body 2, the base 1 can be removed from the main body 2 for replacement, further improving the user experience.
