[0018] To make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the embodiments of the present application will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Terms such as "upper", "above", "lower", "below", "first end", "second end", "one end", "the other end" used in the present application to represent spatial relative positions are used to describe the relationship between a unit or feature as shown in the accompanying drawings relative to another unit or feature for the purpose of convenience of explanation. Terms of spatial relative position may be intended to include different orientations of the device in use or work other than the orientation shown in the figure. For example, if the device in the figure is turned over, the unit described as being "below" or "below" other units or features will be located "above" other units or features. Therefore, the exemplary term "below" can encompass both the above and below orientations. The device can be oriented in other ways (rotated 90 degrees or other orientations), and the spatially related descriptors used herein are interpreted accordingly.

[0019] In addition, the terms "installed", "set", "provided with", "connected", "slidingly connected", "fixed", and "sleeved" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, "connection" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral structure; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or it can be an internal connection between two devices, elements, or components. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0020] As people's living standards improve, more and more families begin to use various cleaning equipment to perform cleaning operations to free their hands, such as using window cleaning robots to automatically wipe the glass.

[0021] Existing window-cleaning robots mainly have two forms. One is a stand-alone window-cleaning robot with the power cord and safety rope completely exposed and placed in a messy manner. The other is a window-cleaning robot with a storage function. After using the window-cleaning robot, the user usually places it in a storage box for storage. The window cleaning robot, power cord and safety rope are stored in order in the storage box, which reduces the problem of wire knotting and entanglement during use, is convenient to carry, and ensures a clean indoor environment, becoming the choice of more people.

[0022] However, after the existing window cleaning robot is stored, part of the power harness connected to the window cleaning robot is exposed. On the one hand, it is easy for users to mistakenly pull out the harness when it is not working, causing the harness to be entangled. On the other hand, the exposure of the harness will also affect the overall appearance and reduce the user experience.

[0023] In addition, the box cover and the box body of the existing storage box are connected only by a snap-fit ​​connection. However, in actual applications, the snap-fit ​​connection is prone to failure, causing the box cover and the box body to separate, thereby causing the window cleaning robot located in the box body to fall off, creating a safety hazard.

[0024] Therefore, how to improve the structure of the cleaning system and the base station to shield the wiring harness connected to the cleaning equipment to prevent the wiring harness from leaking out, and at the same time, improve the connection stability between the flip cover and the base, has become an issue that needs to be urgently addressed in this field.

[0025] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described in this application are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0026] In a feasible implementation, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the cleaning system may include a base station 100 and a cleaning device 200. As an important component of the cleaning system, the base station 100 is usually used in conjunction with the cleaning device 200. The base station 100 may be used as a storage device for the cleaning device 200 to store the cleaning device 200 when the cleaning device 200 is not working. At the same time, the base station 100 may also supply power to the cleaning device 200 to support the long-term operation of the cleaning device 200. Of course, the base station 100 may also have other functions, which are not specifically limited in this application.

[0027] The cleaning device 200 may be a self-moving cleaning robot, such as a window cleaning robot, a sweeping robot, and a mopping robot, etc. Of course, the cleaning device 200 may also be a handheld cleaning device, and the user pushes or pulls the cleaning device 200 to move and clean, and this application does not specifically limit this. However, it should be particularly pointed out that due to the special working mode of the window cleaning robot, when the cleaning device 200 is a window cleaning robot, a wire harness 300 should be connected between the cleaning device 200 and the base station 100. When working, the base station 100 is located in the room, and the window cleaning robot is located on the glass for cleaning. The base station 100 is connected to the window cleaning robot through the wire harness 300 to pull the window cleaning robot to prevent the window cleaning robot from falling from a high altitude, thereby providing safety protection for the window cleaning robot.

[0028] In a feasible implementation, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the base station 100 may include a base 110 and a flip cover 120. Among them, the base 110 may be provided with a wire outlet hole 111, a limit groove 112 and a storage cavity 114 with an opening 113, and the wire outlet hole 111 is located between the limit groove 112 and the opening 113. It should be pointed out that the storage cavity 114 with an opening 113 refers to a state in which a part or all of the openings of the storage cavity 114 are not closed, which means that the inside of the storage cavity 114 can be directly connected to the outside world without physical obstacles or closed structures, so that the cleaning device 200 can enter the storage cavity 114 through the opening 113. The above-mentioned wire harness 300 can be stored in the base 110 to ensure the neatness of the cleaning system. The wire harness 300 in the base 110 can be connected to the cleaning device 200 through the wire outlet hole 111, so as to connect the base 110 with the cleaning device 200, and play a safety protection role for the cleaning device 200.

[0029] In practical applications, the wire outlet hole 111, the limiting groove 112 and the storage cavity 114 can be injection molded together with the base 110. Of course, the wire outlet hole 111, the limiting groove 112 and the storage cavity 114 can also be formed by secondary processing on the base 110 after the base 110 is formed.

[0030] In this embodiment, one end of the flip cover 120 is hinged to the base 110 , and the flip cover 120 can enter or leave the opening 113 by flipping. The other end of the flip cover 120 is detachably connected to the base 110 via a locking assembly 130 .

[0031] When the other end of the flip cover 120 is connected to the base 110, the flip cover 120 enters the opening 113 by flipping, and the flip cover 120 can at least partially cover the opening 113, thereby blocking the opening 113 to prevent the cleaning device 200 placed in the storage cavity 114 from falling off from the opening 113. In actual application, the flip cover 120 can partially cover the opening 113, or can also cover the opening 113 completely, but it should be pointed out that no matter whether the flip cover 120 covers the opening 113 completely or partially, the flip cover 120 should be able to block the cleaning device 200 in the storage cavity 114 to prevent the cleaning device 200 from falling off from the opening 113. At the same time, the locking assembly 130 extends outward from the edge of the flip cover 120 and into the limiting groove 112. At this time, the inner wall of the limiting groove 112 is located on the flipping path of the locking assembly 130 to block the flipping of the locking assembly 130, thereby locking the flip cover 120 and the base 110 and improving the connection stability between the flip cover 120 and the base 110.

[0032] When the other end of the flip cover 120 is separated from the base 110, the locking assembly 130 retracts and disengages from the limiting groove 112, and the flip cover 120 can leave the opening 113 by flipping. The opening 113 is unobstructed, and the cleaning device 200 can be placed into the storage cavity 114 through the opening 113, or taken out of the storage cavity 114.

[0033] It is worth mentioning that, since the above-mentioned outlet hole 111 is arranged between the limiting groove 112 and the opening 113, when the locking assembly 130 extends into the limiting groove 112, the outlet hole 111 is located on the extension path of the locking assembly 130, so the locking assembly 130 can also shield the wire harness at the outlet hole 111. In other words, while the locking assembly 130 locks the flip cover 120 and the base 110, it can also shield the wire harness connected to the cleaning device, avoid erroneous operation caused by leakage of the wire harness, ensure the overall aesthetics of the base station, and improve the user experience.

[0034] Regarding the specific structure of the locking assembly 130 , the present application provides two achievable embodiments for reference.

[0035] Embodiment 1: The locking assembly 130 can be extended into or out of the limiting groove 112 by rotating. Figures 3 to 6 As shown, the locking assembly 130 includes a shielding plate 132. The shielding plate 132 is rotatably connected to the flip cover 120 via a rotating shaft 133, and a limiting portion 134 is provided on the shielding plate 132. The limiting portion 134 extends outward from the edge of the shielding plate 132. When the other end of the flip cover 120 is connected to the base 110, the shielding plate 132 rotates and extends outward from the edge of the flip cover 120, and the shielding plate 132 shields the wire harness 300 at the wire outlet hole 111. The limiting portion 134 can extend into the limiting groove 112, so that the flip cover 120 and the base 110 are locked by the limiting portion 134 and the limiting groove 112. When the other end of the flip cover 120 is separated from the base 110, the limiting portion 134 can be rotated and retracted toward the inside of the flip cover 120 until the limiting portion 134 is disengaged from the limiting groove 112, the flip cover 120 and the base 110 are unlocked, and the flip cover 120 can be flipped relative to the base 110 to leave the opening 113.

[0036] In actual application, a groove may be opened on the flip cover 120, and the position of the groove is adapted to the baffle plate 132, so that when the baffle plate 132 is rotated and retracted into the flip cover 120, the baffle plate 132 can be retracted into the groove, thereby avoiding the baffle plate 132 from being exposed and improving the aesthetics of the base station.

[0037] Furthermore, the locking assembly 130 further includes a knob 131. The knob 131 is connected to the shielding plate 132 and is located on a side of the flip cover 120 away from the opening 113, that is, the knob 131 is located outside the flip cover 120, so that the user can control the rotation of the shielding plate 132 by rotating the knob 131 from the outside.

[0038] It should be particularly noted that there should be sufficient friction between the shielding plate 132 and the flip cover 120, so that when the shielding plate 132 is not subjected to external forces, the friction can prevent the shielding plate 132 from rotating, thereby preventing the limiting portion 134 from accidentally detaching from the limiting groove 112, and improving the connection stability between the flip cover 120 and the base 110. In practical applications, a rubber member or a pressing member can be added at the connection between the rotating shaft 133 and the flip cover 120 to increase the friction between the shielding plate 132 and the flip cover 120.

[0039] Furthermore, the shielding plate 132 can be constructed as a substantially D-shaped structure, and the shielding plate 132 has an arc edge and a straight edge. The limiting portion 134 extends outward from the arc edge of the shielding plate 132, and the rotating shaft 133 is connected to the midpoint of the straight edge of the shielding plate 132. Figure 3 As shown, when the shielding plate 132 is rotated and retracted to the inside of the flip cover 120, the straight edge of the shielding plate 132 is almost flush with the edge of the flip cover 120. That is, when the cleaning device 200 is working, the locking assembly 130 is almost hidden in the flip cover 120, thereby preventing the locking assembly 130 from extending from the edge of the flip cover 120 to affect the winding and unwinding operations of the wire harness 300.

[0040] Embodiment 2: The locking assembly 130 can be extended into or out of the limiting groove 112 by telescopic means. Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the locking assembly 130 may include an elastic member 135 and a plug-in board 136, and the plug-in board 136 abuts against the flip cover 120 through the elastic member 135. When the other end of the flip cover 120 is connected to the base 110, the elastic member 135 can drive the plug-in board 136 to extend from the edge of the flip cover 120, so as to be inserted into the limiting groove 112, and the plug-in board 136 cooperates with the limiting groove 112 to lock the flip cover 120 and the base 110. When the other end of the flip cover 120 is connected to the base 110, the plug-in board 136 can be pushed to disengage from the limiting groove 112, and the flip cover 120 and the base 110 are unlocked, so that the flip cover 120 can be flipped relative to the base 110 to leave the opening 113.

[0041] In actual application, a push plate may be connected to the plug board 136 , and the push plate extends to the outside of the flip cover 120 , so that the user can push the push plate on the outside of the flip cover 120 to control the plug board 136 to disengage from the limiting groove 112 .

[0042] The above-mentioned openings 113 may all be located on one surface of the base 110, wherein the openings 113 may be located on the top surface of the base 110 or on one of the side surfaces of the base 110. Taking the opening 113 located on the top surface of the base 110 as an example, Figure 7 As shown, correspondingly, the flip cover 120 and the wire outlet hole 111 are both located on the top of the base 110 .

[0043] Of course, the opening 113 may have multiple sections, and the multiple sections of the opening 113 are respectively located on different sides of the base 110. For example, in one feasible implementation, Figure 3 As shown, the opening 113 may include a first opening section 1131 and a second opening section 1132, the first opening section 1131 is located on the side of the base 110, and the second opening section 1132 is located on the top of the base 110. Correspondingly, the flip cover 120 includes a first plate section 121 and a second plate section 122, one end of the first plate section 121 is hinged to the base 110, and the other end of the first plate section 121 is connected to the second plate section 122. When the flip cover 120 enters the opening 113, the first plate section 121 at least partially covers the first opening section 1131, and the second plate section 122 at least partially covers the second opening section 1132. It is worth mentioning that the opening 113 is located on the top and side of the base 110, and the user can reach into the bottom of the storage cavity 114 through the side to place or take the cleaning equipment, which is convenient for the user to operate.

[0044] In this embodiment, the outlet hole 111 should be opened at the top of the base 110. Compared with the outlet hole 111 opened at the side, the wire harness 300 in this embodiment can be vertically rolled up or released from the top of the base 110, reducing the friction between the wire harness 300 and the inner wall of the outlet hole 111, making the wire harness 300 roll up and release smoother. Correspondingly, the limit groove 112 is located at the top of the base 110, and the locking assembly 130 is located at one end of the second plate section 122 away from the first plate section 121.

[0045] In order to further ensure the connection stability between the flip cover 120 and the base 110. In an achievable embodiment, the cleaning system may further include a second locking structure, which is used to lock the flip cover 120 and the base 110. In practical applications, when the flip cover 120 enters the opening 113, the second locking structure may first lock the flip cover 120 and the base 110, and then the user drives the limiting portion 134 to extend into the limiting groove 112 to lock the flip cover 120 and the base 110 for a second time, so that there is a double locking between the flip cover 120 and the base 110, thereby improving the connection stability between the flip cover 120 and the base 110.

[0046] Regarding the specific structure of the second locking structure, this application provides two achievable embodiments for reference.

[0047] Embodiment 1: Figure 3 As shown, the second locking structure may include a buckle 141 and a slot 142. Specifically, the buckle 141 may be provided at one end of the second plate segment 122 away from the first plate segment 121, and the slot 142 that is mutually engaged with the buckle 141 is provided on the base 110. When the other end of the flip cover 120 is connected to the base 110, the buckle 141 may be inserted into the slot 142 and engaged with the slot 142, thereby locking the flip cover 120 with the base 110. Of course, the slot 142 may also be provided at one end of the second plate segment 122 away from the first plate segment 121, and correspondingly, the buckle 141 that is mutually engaged with the slot 142 is provided on the base 110, and this is not specifically limited in the present application.

[0048] In practical applications, the locking assembly 130 should be located at the center of the end of the second plate section 122 away from the first plate section 121. There may be two buckles 141, which are symmetrically arranged about the locking assembly 130. Correspondingly, there are also two slots 142, which are symmetrically arranged about the locking assembly 130. In this way, the connection between the flip cover 120 and the base 110 can be more evenly distributed, thereby making the connection force of the flip cover 120 more even, and avoiding damage caused by single-point force on the flip cover 120.

[0049] Embodiment 2: The second locking structure may also include two mutually magnetically attracted magnetic parts. Specifically, a first magnetic part is provided at one end of the second plate segment 122 away from the first plate segment 121, and a second magnetic part that is mutually magnetically attracted to the first magnetic part is provided on the base 110. When the other end of the flip cover 120 is connected to the base 110, the first magnetic part and the second magnetic part are mutually magnetically attracted, thereby magnetically locking the flip cover 120 and the base 110.

[0050] In practical applications, the first magnetic attraction component and the second magnetic attraction component refer to components that can be magnetically attracted to each other. For example, the first magnetic attraction component can be a magnet, and correspondingly, the second magnetic attraction component is a magnet, steel, magnetic ceramic material, etc.

[0051] After the cleaning device 200 is placed in the storage chamber 114, due to the gap between the cleaning device 200 and the inner wall of the storage chamber 114, as the base station 100 is moved, a relative displacement will occur between the cleaning device 200 and the inner wall of the storage chamber 114, resulting in mutual collision and noise, and also causing damage to the cleaning device 200.

[0052] To solve the above problems, in one feasible implementation, please refer to Figure 3 and Fig. 9 As shown, a hook 150 is provided on the side wall of the storage chamber 114, and the hook 150 is used to hook the cleaning device 200, so as to cooperate with the gravity of the cleaning device 200, so that the cleaning device 200 is hung in the storage chamber 114 through the hook 150, and the possibility of the cleaning device 200 colliding with the inner wall of the storage chamber 114 is reduced. In practical applications, two hooks 150 can be provided and arranged at intervals, and the cleaning device 200 is hung in the storage chamber 114 through the two hooks 150 to further improve the stability of the hanging of the cleaning device 200. Among them, the hook 150 can include a horizontal plate section and a vertical plate section. When the cleaning device 200 is hung in the storage chamber 114 through the hook 150, the cleaning device 200 can be supported on the horizontal plate section, and the vertical plate section extends into the interior of the cleaning device 200 to prevent the cleaning device 200 from moving toward the flip cover 120.

[0053] Furthermore, a pressure block 160 is provided on the inner side of the first plate section 121. When the cleaning device 200 enters the storage cavity 114 through the opening 113, the cleaning device 200 is hung on the hook 150, and the pressure block 160 abuts against the top of the cleaning device 200. The pressure block 160 limits the upward movement of the cleaning device 200, thereby fixing the cleaning device 200 in the storage cavity 114 to prevent the cleaning device 200 from colliding with the base station 100 when the user accidentally turns the base station 100 upside down.

[0054] In one possible implementation, please refer again to Figure 3 As shown, a limiting plate 170 is provided at the bottom of the storage cavity 114. The limiting plate 170 is arranged opposite to the hook 150. When the cleaning device 200 enters the storage cavity 114 and is hung on the hook 150, the cleaning device 200 is located between the side wall where the hook 150 is located and the limiting plate 170, so that the limiting plate 170 blocks the cleaning device 200, and prevents the cleaning device 200 from colliding with the flip cover 120 when the cleaning device 200 accidentally falls off the hook 150. At the same time, when the flip cover 120 enters the opening 113, the first plate segment 121 fits with the limiting plate 170, and the limiting plate 170 can also support the first plate segment 121, so that the limiting plate 170 shares the force of the first plate segment 120, and improves the bearing capacity of the first plate segment 121.

[0055] It should be particularly noted that, in order to facilitate the removal of the cleaning device 200 from the storage chamber 114, a taking groove 171 may be provided on the limiting plate 170, and the taking groove 171 extends from the top of the limiting plate 170 to the bottom of the storage chamber 114. When the user needs to take the cleaning device 200 from the storage chamber 114, the user can reach down through the first opening section 1131, and reach into the bottom of the storage chamber 114 through the taking groove 171, and then lift the cleaning device 200 from the bottom of the cleaning device 200, which is convenient for taking operation.

[0056] In a feasible embodiment, a support portion 1141 can be formed on the inner wall of the storage cavity 114, and the support portion 1141 is arranged around the opening 113. When the other end of the flip cover 120 is connected to the base 110, the inner side surface of the flip cover 120 can abut against the support portion 1141, so that the support portion 1141 supports the flip cover 120, thereby improving the bearing capacity of the flip cover 120.

[0057] In a feasible implementation, please refer to Figure 7 and Fig. 9 As shown, the base 110 is also provided with a receiving chamber 115, and the receiving chamber 115 is used to store the wire harness 300. In addition, the receiving chamber 115 is communicated with the wire outlet hole 111, so that the wire harness 300 in the receiving chamber 115 can pass through the wire outlet hole 111 to connect with the cleaning device 200. A winding device 180 can also be installed in the receiving chamber 115, and the winding device 180 is used to wind up the wire harness 300. It should be pointed out that the specific structure of the winding device 180 can refer to the prior art, for example, the winding device 180 can be composed of a winding motor and a winding shaft, or a winding spring and a winding shaft, etc.

[0058] In this embodiment, the base 110 may include a housing 116 and a bracket 117, and the housing 116 and the bracket 117 are detachably connected. When the housing 116 and the bracket 117 are connected, the housing 116 and the bracket 117 surround and form the above-mentioned accommodating cavity 115. In practical applications, the winding device 180 may be first installed in the bracket 117, and then the housing 116 and the bracket 117 are connected, so that the winding device 180 is installed in the accommodating cavity 115.

[0059] The wiring harness 300 may be configured accordingly according to the specific structure of the cleaning device 200 .

[0060] In a feasible implementation, when the cleaning device 200 has a built-in energy storage component, the wire harness 300 may be a safety rope, and the wire harness 300 is used to pull the cleaning device 200 to prevent the cleaning device 200 from falling, thereby providing safety protection for the cleaning device 200.

[0061] In another achievable implementation, when the cleaning device 200 uses an external power source, the harness 300 can be a cable, and correspondingly, an energy storage component is provided in the base station 100, one end of the cable is connected to the energy storage component, and the other end of the cable is connected to the cleaning device 200, so that the cleaning device 200 is powered by the cable. Of course, the cable can also pull the cleaning device 200 to prevent the cleaning device 200 from falling, thereby providing safety protection for the cleaning device 200.

[0062] Based on the same inventive concept, the present application also provides a base station 100, which is used to work in conjunction with a cleaning device 200. Specifically, the base station 100 may include at least a base 110 and a flip cover 120. The base 110 is provided with a wire outlet hole 111, a limit groove 112 and a storage cavity 114 with an opening 113, and the wire outlet hole 111 is located between the limit groove 112 and the opening 113. One end of the flip cover 120 is hinged to the base 110, and the other end of the flip cover 120 is detachably connected to the base 110 through a locking assembly 130. When the other end of the flip cover 120 is connected to the base 110, the flip cover 120 at least partially covers the opening 113, the locking assembly 130 extends outward from the edge of the flip cover 120 and extends into the limit groove 112, and the locking assembly 130 covers the wiring harness at the wire outlet hole 111.

[0063] Furthermore, the locking assembly 130 includes a knob 131 and a shielding plate 132. The knob 131 is connected to the shielding plate 132, and the shielding plate 132 is rotatably connected to the flip cover 120 through a rotating shaft 133. The knob 131 is located outside the flip cover 120. A limiting portion 134 is provided on the shielding plate 132, and the limiting portion 134 extends outward from the edge of the shielding plate 132. When the other end of the flip cover 120 is connected to the base 110, the knob 131 drives the shielding plate 132 to rotate and extend outward from the edge of the flip cover 120, and the shielding plate 132 shields the wire harness at the wire outlet hole 111, and the limiting portion 134 extends into the limiting groove 112.

[0064] The specific structures of the base station 100 , the cleaning device 200 and the locking assembly 130 may be described in detail in the above specific embodiments, and will not be described again here.

[0065] The following is a detailed explanation based on specific application scenarios, taking the cleaning equipment as a window cleaning robot as an example.

[0066] Application scenario 1

[0067] When the user needs to use the window cleaning robot to clean the window, the user first rotates the knob to rotate the limit part out of the limit groove, and then pushes the flip cover to the side away from the base to separate the flip cover from the base. At this time, the opening is exposed to the outside without any shielding, and the user takes the window cleaning robot out of the storage cavity through the opening.

[0068] As the window cleaning robot is taken out, part of the wiring harness is pulled out from the wire outlet along with the window cleaning robot. The user turns on the start button of the window cleaning robot and places the window cleaning robot on the window. The window cleaning robot is adsorbed on the window by negative pressure and cleans the window driven by the walking mechanism of the window cleaning robot.

[0069] During the cleaning process, one end of the harness is connected to the base station, and the other end is connected to the window cleaning robot. The base station pulls the window cleaning robot through the harness to prevent the window cleaning robot from accidentally falling from a high altitude, thereby improving the safety of the window cleaning robot. At the same time, the controller in the base station can also receive the movement signal sent by the window cleaning robot, and based on the movement signal, control the winding device in the base station to retract and release the harness as the window cleaning robot moves, thereby preventing the harness from getting entangled with the window cleaning robot.

[0070] Application scenario 2

[0071] When the window cleaning robot completes the window cleaning work, the user removes the window cleaning robot from the window, and the winding device automatically winds up the excess wire harness between the window cleaning robot and the base station into the accommodating cavity.

[0072] The user places the window cleaning robot in the storage cavity through the opening, and the base station stores the window cleaning robot. Push the flap to flip the flap into the opening, and the flap blocks the opening to prevent the window cleaning robot from leaking out. At the same time, the buckle is inserted into the card slot, and the flap and the base are locked once. Then, the user rotates the knob to drive the shielding plate to rotate to just above the outlet hole, and the shielding plate blocks the wiring harness at the outlet hole to ensure the overall aesthetics of the base station. In addition, as the shielding plate rotates, the limiting part extends into the limiting groove, so that the limiting part and the limiting groove cooperate to perform a secondary locking of the flap and the base, preventing the flap from accidentally opening and causing the window cleaning robot to fall off from the storage cavity, thereby improving the storage safety of the window cleaning robot.

[0073] It can be seen from this that the technical solution provided by the present application, the base station includes a flap and a base, wherein one end of the flap is hinged with the base, and the other end of the flap is detachably connected to the base through a locking assembly. When the other end of the flap is connected to the base, the flap at least partially blocks the opening to prevent the cleaning equipment from falling off through the opening. In addition, the locking assembly can extend outward from the edge of the flap and extend into the limiting groove. At this time, the inner wall of the limiting groove is located on the turning path of the locking assembly to block the turning of the locking assembly, thereby locking the flap and the base, and improving the connection stability of the flap and the base. At the same time, the outlet hole is arranged between the limiting groove and the opening. When the locking assembly extends into the limiting groove, the outlet hole is located on the extension path of the locking assembly, and the locking assembly can block the wire harness at the outlet hole. In this way, the locking assembly can block the wire harness connected to the cleaning equipment while locking the flap and the base, avoiding misoperation caused by leakage of the wire harness, and ensuring the overall aesthetics of the base station, and improving the user experience.

[0074] Furthermore, the shielding plate can be constructed as a generally D-shaped structure, the limiting portion extends outward from the arc-shaped edge of the shielding plate, and the rotating shaft is connected to the midpoint of the straight edge of the shielding plate. In this way, when the shielding plate is rotated and retracted to the inside of the flip cover, the straight edge of the shielding plate is almost flush with the edge of the flip cover. In other words, when the cleaning device is working, the locking assembly is almost hidden in the flip cover, thereby preventing the locking assembly from extending from the edge of the flip cover to affect the wire collection and release operation, thereby ensuring the stable operation of the cleaning device.

[0075] Furthermore, a buckle may be provided at one end of the second plate section away from the first plate section, and a slot engaged with the buckle may be provided on the base. When the flip cover enters the opening, the buckle may be inserted into the slot and engaged with the slot, thereby locking the flip cover and the base. In this way, the flip cover and the base may be locked by the locking assembly and by the buckle and the slot, and there is a double locking between the flip cover and the base, thereby improving the connection stability between the flip cover and the base.

[0076] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
