[0073] As described in the background technology, for the cleaning system of the related technology, since the cover is on the surface of the separation chamber, and the separation chamber needs to be cleaned, water can easily penetrate into the motor during cleaning and cause circuit failure, ultimately resulting in the cover being unable to open and close normally.

[0074] Based on the above problems, in one embodiment, a base station is provided for docking with a cleaning machine to solve the problem that the cover of the cleaning machine cannot be opened and closed normally. In order to better introduce the docking principle between the base station and the cleaning machine, Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of the cleaning machine in this embodiment is given. Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the structure of the base station in this embodiment is given. Figure 1 , Figure 2 This embodiment is introduced.

[0075] like Figure 1As shown, the cleaning machine 1 includes a separation chamber 11 and a sealing part 12. A sewage outlet 13 is provided on the top of the separation chamber. The sealing part 12 includes a cover plate 121 and a rotating member (not shown in the figure). The cover plate 121 is connected to the rotating member. The rotating member is provided on the top of the separation chamber. The cover plate 121 is used to cover the sewage outlet 13. Assuming that the plane where the sewage outlet 13 is located is A, and plane B is a plane perpendicular to A, the rotating member can rotate in plane B, thereby driving the cover plate 121 to flip, thereby opening or closing the sewage outlet 13.

[0076] like Figure 2 As shown, the base station 2 includes a base 21, a recovery pipe 22 and a motion module 23. The lower part of the base 21 is provided with a receiving chamber 24, and the receiving chamber 24 is provided with an opening 25 for the cleaning machine 1 to enter. The recovery pipe 22 and the motion module 23 are arranged on the base 21; the motion module 23 includes a first lifting part 231, a second lifting part 232 and a driving part 233, and the driving part 233 can drive the first lifting part 231 and the second lifting part 232 to perform staggered lifting; wherein the first lifting part 231 and the second lifting part 232 are respectively connected to the driving part 233; the first lifting part 231 is movably connected to the rotating part, and the first lifting part 231 triggers the rotating part to rotate during the movement to drive the cover plate 121 to open or close the sewage outlet 13; the second lifting part 232 is connected to the recovery pipe, and the second lifting part 232 drives the recovery pipe 22 to approach or move away from the sewage outlet 13 during the movement. The driving part 233 can be an electric brake or a manual brake. The driving part 233 is used to drive the first lifting part 231 and the second lifting part 232 to perform lifting motion relative to the base 21, and the first lifting part 231 and the second lifting part 232 are staggered and lifted. For example, during the descending process, the first lifting part 231 descends before the second lifting part 232, so that the cover plate 121 is opened first, and then the recovery pipe 22 is lowered to communicate with the sewage outlet 13; during the ascending process, the second lifting part 232 rises before the first lifting part 231, so that the recovery pipe 22 is raised first, and then the cover plate 121 is closed.

[0077] Figure 3 : is a working state diagram of the base station when docking with the cleaning machine in this embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, the cleaning machine 1 moves into the accommodating cavity of the base station 2. In order to clearly see the state of the base station docking with the cleaning machine, only the relevant internal structure of the base station 2 is shown in the figure. The following will introduce the working process of the base station 2 docking with the cleaning machine 1, which is mainly divided into two processes. Process 1 is the base station 2 starting the recycling process, and process 2 is the base station 2 ending the recycling process.

[0078] Process 1, base station 2 starts the recycling process:

[0079] Step S11, starting the driving unit 233 to run in a first direction;

[0080] Step S12, the first lifting part 231 descends before the second lifting part 232, and the first lifting part 231 triggers the rotating member to rotate during the descending process to drive the cover plate 121 to open the sewage outlet 13;

[0081] In step S13 , after the first lifting part 231 descends to the first preset position, the second lifting part 232 starts to descend and drives the recovery pipe 22 to approach the sewage outlet 13 .

[0082] Process 2, base station 2 ends the recycling process:

[0083] Step S14, starting the driving unit 233 to run in the second direction;

[0084] Step S15, the second lifting part 232 rises before the first lifting part 231, and the second lifting part 232 drives the recovery pipe 22 away from the sewage outlet 13 during the rising process;

[0085] In step S16 , when the second lifting portion 232 rises to the second preset position, the first lifting portion 231 starts to rise and triggers the rotating member to rotate to drive the cover plate 121 to close the sewage outlet 13 .

[0086] In this embodiment, by designing the motion module on the side of the base station 2, the driving part 233 drives the first lifting part 231 and the second lifting part 232 in sequence, wherein the second lifting part 232 is used to drive the recovery tube 22 to rise and fall, and the first lifting part 231 triggers the rotation of the rotating member to drive the cover plate 121 to open and close, so that the power source for driving the cover plate 121 to open and close in the cleaning machine 1 is transferred to the base station 2, avoiding circuit failure when the cleaning machine 1 cleans the separation bin 11, thereby improving the reliability of the opening and closing of the cover plate 121 of the cleaning machine 1. Such a configuration also saves the motor on the side of the cleaning machine 1, reduces the device cost, and makes it easy to clean the separation bin 11.

[0087] In one embodiment, Figure 4 A local structural diagram of the base station is given, such as Figure 4 As shown, the driving part 233 includes a first gear 2331 and a second gear 2332, and the first lifting part 231 and the second lifting part 232 are respectively provided with racks; wherein the first gear 2331 can mesh with the rack of the first lifting part 231; and the second gear 2332 can mesh with the rack of the second lifting part 232. In this embodiment, the driving part 233 and the first lifting part 231 and the second lifting part 232 are driven by the meshing of the gears and the racks. The working process of the base station docking the cleaning machine will be further introduced below.

[0088] Process 1: The base station starts the recycling process:

[0089] Step S21, start the first gear 2331 and the second gear 2332 to run in a first direction;

[0090] Step S22, the first gear 2331 engages with the rack of the first lifting part 231 before the second gear 2332, so that the first lifting part 231 descends. During the descending process, the first lifting part 231 triggers the rotation of the rotating member to drive the cover plate to open the sewage outlet;

[0091] In step S23, when the first lifting part 231 descends to the first preset position, the second gear 2332 engages with the rack of the second lifting part 232, and the second lifting part 232 starts to descend and drives the recovery pipe 22 to approach the sewage outlet.

[0092] Process 2: The base station ends the recycling process:

[0093] Step S24, starting the first gear 2331 and the second gear 2332 to run in the second direction;

[0094] Step S25, the second gear 2332 engages with the rack of the second lifting part 232 before the first gear 2331, so that the second lifting part 232 rises, and the second lifting part 232 drives the recovery pipe 22 away from the sewage outlet during the rising process;

[0095] Step S26, when the second lifting part 232 rises to the second preset position, the first gear 2331 engages with the rack of the first lifting part 231, and the first lifting part 231 starts to rise and triggers the rotating member to rotate to drive the cover plate to close the sewage outlet.

[0096] Further, Figure 5 A partial structural diagram of the drive unit is given, such as Figure 5 As shown, there are empty teeth facing each other between the first gear 2331 and the second gear 2332. Optionally, the diameter of the first gear 2331 is smaller than the diameter of the second gear 2332. Optionally, the driving unit 233 further includes a motor, which is used to drive the first gear 2331 and the second gear 2332 to rotate. Figure 4 , Figure 5When the first gear 2331 and the second gear 2332 run in the first direction, the first gear 2331 first meshes with the rack of the first lifting part 231, while the second gear 2332 does not mesh with the rack of the second lifting part 232. When the first lifting part 231 descends to the first preset position, the second gear 2332 meshes with the rack of the second lifting part 232. With such a configuration, when the base station starts recycling, the effect of first opening the cover plate and then lowering the recycling pipe 22 can be achieved. When the first gear 2331 and the second gear 2332 run in the second direction, the second gear 2332 first meshes with the rack of the second lifting part 232, while the first gear 2331 does not mesh with the rack of the first lifting part 231. When the second lifting part 232 rises to the second preset position, the first gear 2331 meshes with the rack of the first lifting part 231. With such a configuration, when the base station ends recycling, the effect of first raising the recycling pipe 22 and then closing the cover plate can be achieved. Through this embodiment, during the docking process between the base station and the cleaning machine, the opening and closing actions of the cover plate 121 and the lifting and lowering actions of the recovery pipe 22 have a sequence, thereby achieving smooth docking.

[0097] Two implementations of the first lifting portion triggering the rotating member to rotate to drive the cover plate to flip will be given below.

[0098] In one embodiment, Figure 6 The local structural diagram of the base station and the cleaning machine is given, such as Figure 6 As shown, the rotating member includes a third gear 122, and the upper and lower ends of the first lifting part 231 are respectively provided with opposite racks; wherein, the first gear 2331 can be meshed with the upper rack of the first lifting part 231; and the third gear 122 can be meshed with the lower rack of the first lifting part 231. In this embodiment, when the base station starts to recycle, the first gear 2331 rotates to drive the first lifting part 231 to descend, and when the first lifting part 231 descends to the first preset position, the lower rack of the first lifting part 231 meshes with the third gear 122 and triggers the third gear 122 to rotate to drive the cover plate 121 to flip, thereby opening the sewage outlet 13. When the base station ends recycling, the first gear 2331 rotates to drive the first lifting part 231 to rise, and the lower rack of the first lifting part 231 meshes with the third gear 122 and triggers the third gear 122 to rotate in the opposite direction to drive the cover plate 121 to flip, thereby closing the sewage outlet 13.

[0099] In another embodiment, Figure 7 The local structural diagram of the base station and the cleaning machine is given, such as Figure 7As shown, the rotating member includes a third gear 122, a rack is provided at the upper end of the first lifting part 231, a contact 2311 is provided at the lower end of the first lifting part 231, and the sealing part also includes a button 123 opposite to the contact 2311, and the button 123 is provided with a rack; wherein the first gear 2331 can mesh with the rack at the upper end of the first lifting part 231; and the third gear 122 can mesh with the rack of the button 123. In this embodiment, when the base station starts recycling, the first gear rotates to drive the first lifting part 231 to descend, and when the first lifting part 231 descends to the first preset position, the contact 2311 at the lower end of the first lifting part 231 presses the button 123, so that the rack of the button 123 meshes with the third gear 122 and triggers the third gear 122 to rotate to drive the cover plate 121 to flip, thereby opening the sewage outlet 13. When the base station finishes recycling, the first gear rotates to drive the first lifting part 231 to rise, and the lower end contact 2311 of the first lifting part 231 releases the button 123, so that the rack of the button 123 meshes with the third gear 122 and triggers the third gear 122 to rotate in the opposite direction to drive the cover plate 121 to flip, thereby closing the sewage outlet 13.

[0100] When the base station starts recycling, the cover needs to be kept open for a long time to keep the recycling pipe connected to the sewage outlet. In order to solve this problem, in one embodiment, Figure 8 A local structural diagram of the base station is given, such as Figure 8 As shown, the base station also includes a locking member 261 and a spring 262, which are mounted on the base 21, and the two ends of the locking member 261 are in contact with the spring 262 and the first lifting part 231 respectively, and the first lifting part 231 is provided with a groove 2312. When the first lifting part 231 descends to the first preset position, that is, after the cover is rotated and opened, the locking member 261 moves toward the direction of the first lifting part 231 and enters the groove 2312 for locking under the action of the spring 262, and the first lifting part 231 is stuck and stops moving, so that the cover remains in an open state, so that the recovery pipe 22 is continuously connected with the sewage outlet 13 to recover garbage.

[0101] Further, continue to refer to Figure 8 The base station also includes an unlocking member 263 and a paddle 264. The unlocking member 263 is arranged on the first gear 2331, and one end of the paddle 264 is connected to the locking member 261. When the second lifting part 232 rises to the second preset position, the first gear 2331 rotates to drive the unlocking member 263 to paddle the paddle 264, and the paddle 264 moves the locking member 261 in the direction of the spring 262 and leaves the groove 2312 to unlock. The first lifting part 231 meshes with the first gear 2331 to perform an upward movement, triggering the rotation of the rotating member to drive the cover to close. In this way, when the base station ends the recycling process, the lock of the first lifting part 231 is released to achieve the closing of the cover.

[0102] In combination with the base station provided in the above embodiment, in one embodiment, a cleaning system is also provided.

The motion module 23 includes a first gear 2331, a second gear 2332, a first lifting part 231, a second lifting part 232 and a motor. There are respectively arranged opposite empty teeth between the first gear 2331 and the second gear 2332. The diameter of the first gear 2331 is smaller than the diameter of the second gear 2332. A rack is provided at the upper end of the first lifting part 231, a contact 2311 is provided at the lower end of the first lifting part 231, and a groove 2312 is provided at the first lifting part 231. The second lifting part 232 is connected to the recovery pipe 22, and the motor is connected to the first gear 2331 and the second gear 2332. The locking member 261 and the spring 262 are mounted on the base 21 , and the two ends of the locking member 261 are respectively in contact with the spring 262 and the first lifting portion 231 . The unlocking member 263 is disposed on the first gear 2331 , and one end of the paddle 264 is connected to the locking member 261 .

[0107] When the separation bin 11 is in the original state, the cover 121 is closed. When the base station 2 starts recycling, the cover 121 needs to be opened in advance, and then the recycling pipe 22 is lowered to communicate with the sewage outlet 13. Specifically, the base station 2 responds to the first instruction, starts the motor to run in the first direction, and the first gear 2331 and the second gear 2332 rotate coaxially. When the second gear 2332 has not rotated to mesh with the second lifting part 232, the first gear 2331 rotates to mesh with the first lifting part 231, and the first lifting part 231 descends before the second lifting part 232. The lower end contact 2311 of the first lifting part 231 presses the button 123, so that the rack of the button 123 meshes with the third gear 122 and triggers the third gear 122 to rotate to drive the cover 121 to flip, thereby opening the sewage outlet 13. When the first lifting part 231 descends to the first preset position, that is, after the cover 121 is rotated and opened, the locking piece 261 moves toward the direction of the first lifting part 231 under the action of the spring 262 and enters the groove 2312 for locking. At this time, the first lifting part 231 will be stuck and stop moving, so that the cover 121 remains in the open state, and the motor continues to drive the second gear 2332 to rotate, the second gear 2332 is engaged with the second lifting part 232, the first gear 2331 is not engaged with the first lifting part 231, and the recovery pipe 22 descends to be connected with the sewage outlet 13, and the recovery pipe 22 recovers garbage through the sewage outlet 13.

[0108] When the base station 2 finishes recycling, it is necessary to first raise the recycling pipe 22 away from the sewage outlet 13, and then close the cover plate 121. Specifically, the base station 2 responds to the second instruction and starts the motor to run in the second direction. Since the first lifting part 231 is still in the locked state, the second lifting part 232 rises before the first lifting part 231. The second lifting part 232 drives the recycling pipe 22 away from the sewage outlet 13 during the rising process. When the second lifting part 232 rises to the second preset position, the first gear 2331 rotates to drive the unlocking member 263 to paddle the paddle 264. The paddle 264 moves the locking member 261 in the direction of the spring 262 and leaves the groove 2312 to unlock. The first lifting part 231 is meshed with the first gear 2331 to perform an ascending movement. The lower end contact 2311 of the first lifting part 231 releases the button 123, so that the rack of the button 123 is meshed with the third gear 122 and triggers the third gear 122 to rotate in the opposite direction to drive the cover plate 121 to flip, thereby closing the sewage outlet 13.

[0109] The above workflow includes the base station 2 starting the recycling and the base station 2 ending the recycling, which are all implemented under the action of a motor to realize multiple sequential actions, and the power source for driving the cover plate 121 in the cleaning machine 1 to open and close is transferred to the base station 2, so as to avoid circuit failure when the cleaning machine 1 cleans the separation bin 11, thereby improving the reliability of the opening and closing of the cover plate 121 of the cleaning machine 1. Such a setting also saves the motor on the side of the cleaning machine 1, reduces the cost of the device, and makes it easier to clean the separation bin 11. In addition, the corner where the separation bin 11 docks with the recovery pipe 22 is rounded. Such a setting significantly improves the effect of recovering residual substances, and is more conducive to guided recovery than a right angle.

[0114] Step S32, the first lifting part 231 descends before the second lifting part 232, and the first lifting part 231 triggers the rotating member to rotate during the descending process to drive the cover plate 121 to open the sewage outlet 13;

[0115] In step S33 , after the first lifting part 231 descends to the first preset position, the second lifting part 232 starts to descend and drives the recovery pipe 22 to approach the sewage outlet 13 .

[0122] Step S32, the first lifting part 231 descends before the second lifting part 232, and the first lifting part 231 triggers the rotating member to rotate during the descending process to drive the cover plate 121 to open the sewage outlet 13;

[0123] Step S33, when the first lifting part 231 descends to the first preset position, the second lifting part 232 begins to descend and drives the recovery pipe 22 to approach the sewage outlet 13;

[0126] In step S36 , when the second lifting portion 232 rises to the second preset position, the first lifting portion 231 starts to rise and triggers the rotating member to rotate to drive the cover plate 121 to close the sewage outlet 13 .

[0127] In one embodiment, the first lifting portion 231 descends before the second lifting portion 232 , which can be achieved in the following manner: when the second gear 2332 has not yet rotated to mesh with the second lifting portion 232 , the first gear 2331 rotates to mesh with the first lifting portion 231 .

[0129] In one embodiment, when the driving part 233 runs in the first direction, the method also includes: when the first lifting part 231 descends to the first preset position, that is, after the cover 121 is rotated open, the locking member 261 moves toward the direction of the first lifting part 231 under the action of the spring 262 and enters the groove 2312 for locking. At this time, the first lifting part 231 will be stuck and stop moving, so that the cover 121 remains in an open state, thereby allowing the recovery pipe 22 to continue to be connected with the sewage outlet 13 to recover garbage.

[0130] In one embodiment, when the driving part 233 moves in the second direction, the method further includes: when the second lifting part 232 rises to the second preset position, the first gear 2331 rotates to drive the unlocking member 263 to toggle the paddle 264, and the paddle 264 moves the locking member 261 in the direction of the spring 262 and leaves the groove 2312 to unlock, and the first lifting part 231 meshes with the first gear 2331 to move upward, triggering the rotating member to rotate to drive the cover plate 121 to close. In this way, when the base station ends the recycling process, the lock of the first lifting part 231 is released to achieve the closing of the cover plate 121.
