[0072] Figures 1-3 This is the overall structure diagram of the cleaning base station provided by the embodiment of the present application. Refer to Figures 1-3 , the embodiment of the present application provides a cleaning base station, which at least includes a main body 100 and a base 200. The main body 100 serves as the basic bearing structure and support structure of the cleaning base station. The base 200 and other functional structures are all arranged on the main body 100, and the base is used for parking the cleaning robot. Specifically, the cleaning robot includes, but is not limited to, a cleaning robot with cleaning functions such as floor washing, sweeping, and dust suction, or a robot for collecting sewage, etc. The following text uniformly uses the expression of the cleaning robot. After the cleaning robot has worked for a period of time, the cleaning robot needs to return to the cleaning base station, and then the cleaning base station provides services for the cleaning robot, such as replenishing the cleaning water required by the cleaning robot, discharging sewage, charging, cleaning the cleaning parts on the cleaning robot (such as the sweeping parts of the sweeper, the mopping parts of the floor washing robot, or the mopping parts of the sweeping and mopping integrated robot, etc.), replacing the cleaning parts service, and so on.
[0073] As Figures 1-14 shown, the cleaning base station includes a base 200, a filter box 300, a flushing assembly 400, a drying assembly 500, and a dust collection assembly. Among them: The base 200 is detachably arranged on the main body 100. The base 200 has a first receiving space 210, which is used for parking the cleaning robot. The bottom surface of the first receiving space 210 forms a collection area 220; The filter box 300 includes a box body 310, a filter element 320, and a first sewage discharge part 330. The box body 310 is arranged on the base 200 and has a second receiving space 340. The second receiving space 340 is communicated with the first receiving space 210 through a collection port 341. The first sewage discharge part 330 is communicated with the second receiving space 340 through a first sewage discharge port 331; The flushing assembly 400 is used to supply fluid to flush the garbage in the collection area 220 into the second receiving space 340; The drying assembly 500 is used to supply drying air flow to the second receiving space 340; The dust collection assembly includes a dust collection fan (not shown in the figure) and a first dust collection pipeline 610, and the first dust collection pipeline 610 is docked with the first sewage discharge part 330.
[0074] After the cleaning base finishes cleaning the cleaning parts of the cleaning robot, there will be residual garbage in the base 200, especially in the collection area 220 of the first accommodation space 210 of the base 200. The cleaning base of the present application can complete the self-cleaning process of the base 200. The specific working method is as follows: The flushing assembly 400 sprays fluid into the first accommodation space 210 of the base 200 to flush the garbage in the collection area 220 into the filter box 300; the filter element 320 in the filter box 300 filters the garbage collected in the second accommodation space 340, and discharges the fluid in the garbage through the third sewage discharge part 260. At this time, the drying assembly 500 starts to work. The drying assembly 500 generates a drying air flow with a certain temperature and transports it into the second accommodation space 340. The drying air flow is used to dry the garbage in the filter box 300. The drying time of the garbage can be specifically set according to needs, for example, it can be between 1H and 4H; after the garbage in the filter box 300 is dried, under the action of the dust collection fan of the dust collection assembly, the garbage in the filter box 300 is sucked into the dust collection bag (not shown in the figure) through the first dust collection pipeline 610. Through the above working process, the cleaning base of the present application can replace the user's manual cleaning process, realize the self-cleaning of the base 200, and the base 200 of the cleaning base can also remain clean after long-term use, avoiding peculiar smell and bacteria breeding, and improving the user experience.
[0075] In some embodiments, as Figures 4-9 shown, the filter box 300 further includes a flip cover 350. The flip cover 350 is rotatably connected to the box body 310. The flip cover 350 has a first position and a second position during rotation; in the first position, the flip cover 350 closes the first sewage discharge port 331 and opens the collection port 341, and the second accommodation space 340 is communicated with the first accommodation space 210; in the second position, the flip cover 350 closes the collection port 341 and opens the first sewage discharge port 331, and the second accommodation space 340 is communicated with the first sewage discharge part 330.
[0076] The design of the flip cover 350 can improve the dust collection efficiency of the garbage in the filter box 300. When the flushing assembly 400 works, the flip cover 350 is in the first position as Figure 8 shown. At this time, the collection port 341 is in the open state, and the first accommodation space 210 is communicated with the second accommodation space 340. The garbage in the first accommodation space 210 can enter the second accommodation space 340 under the action of the flowing flushing, and the process of collecting wet garbage can be conveniently completed; after the garbage in the filter box 300 is filtered and dried, the dust collection assembly starts to work. At this time, the flip cover 350 is in the position as Figure 9In the second position shown, the converging port 341 is in a closed state and the first sewage discharge port 331 is in an open state. When the dust collection fan sucks, it is possible to avoid or reduce the airflow from the first accommodation space 210 entering the second accommodation space 340 through the converging port 341, so that all or most of the filter cartridge 300 intakes air through the filter element 320, thereby improving the dust collection efficiency.
[0077] As a specific implementation manner, both ends of the flip cover 350 are rotatably connected to the cartridge body 310 through a rotating shaft 360. The flip cover 350 includes a first cover body 351 and a second cover body 352 located on both sides of the rotating shaft 360 respectively. When the flip cover 350 is in the first position, the flip cover 350 is generally horizontally arranged. At this time, the second cover body 352 of the flip cover 350 closes the first sewage discharge port 331, and the first cover body 351 of the flip cover 350 extends into the first accommodation space 210 to open the converging port 341. And a stop portion 311 is provided at the connection between the filter cartridge 300 and the first sewage discharge portion 330. One end of the second cover body 352 far from the first cover body 351 abuts against the stop portion 311 to prevent excessive rotation of the flip cover 350. When the flip cover 350 is in the second position, the flip cover 350 is generally vertically arranged. At this time, the first cover body 351 of the flip cover 350 closes the converging port, and the second cover body 352 fits on the inner wall of the first sewage discharge portion 330 to open the first sewage discharge port 331, realizing the limit and also preventing excessive rotation of the flip cover 350.
[0078] The specific driving manner for the flip cover 350 to switch between the first position and the second position can be specifically selected according to needs. Optionally, the flip cover 350 is driven by a micro motor. The micro motor drives the flip cover 350 to rotate so that the flip cover 350 stays at the desired position. Optionally, the flip cover 350 is driven by a torsion spring. The torsion spring is sleeved on the rotating shaft 360. The elastic restoring force of the torsion spring makes the flip cover 350 in the first position, the converging port 341 is in a normally open state and the first sewage discharge port 331 is in a normally closed state. After the dust collection assembly works, the negative pressure generated by the dust collection fan can overcome the elastic force of the torsion spring, making the flip cover 350 rotate to the second position. Optionally, the flip cover 350 is driven by gravity. By reasonably configuring the mass distribution of the first cover body 351 and the second cover body 352, the flip cover 350 is in the first position in the natural state, the converging port 341 is in a normally open state and the first sewage discharge port 331 is in a normally closed state. After the dust collection assembly works, the negative pressure generated by the dust collection fan can overcome the gravity of the flip cover 350, making the flip cover 350 rotate to the second position.
[0079] In some embodiments, such as Figures 5-14As shown, the filter element 320 is a filter plate disposed at the bottom of the box body 310. A plurality of filter holes 321 are formed in the filter plate. When the fluid flushes the garbage in the first accommodation space 210 into the filter box 300, the wet garbage passes through the filtering action of the filter plate, and the sewage enters the base 200 below the filter plate through the filter holes 321. A third sewage discharge part 260 is provided on the base 200. The sewage pump can extract the sewage located in the base 200 through the third sewage discharge part 260 and pump it into the sewage tank. The sewage pump and the sewage tank can be disposed on the main body 100 of the cleaning base station. After the sewage tank is filled with sewage, the user can take out the sewage tank and empty it.
[0080] In some embodiments, a plurality of rib columns 240 facing the filter holes are formed in the area of the base 200 below the filter plate. The filter box 300 of the cleaning base station further includes a vibration assembly 370. The vibration assembly 370 is configured to drive the filter plate to reciprocate relative to the rib columns 240. By driving the filter plate of the filter box 300 to move up and down reciprocally, on the one hand, the dry garbage attached to the surface of the filter plate can be separated from the surface of the filter box 300 through vibration; on the other hand, during the vibration process, the rib columns 240 can pass through the filter holes 321 and lift the dry garbage attached to the surface of the filter plate to achieve separation; on the third hand, the rib columns 240 can prevent the filter holes 321 from being blocked. Through at least the above three aspects, the dust collection efficiency of the dust collection assembly for the garbage in the filter box 300 can be improved. Optionally, the filter holes 321 on the filter plate are circular, the rib columns 240 in the base 200 are cylindrical, and the gap between the filter holes 321 and the rib columns 240 is reserved as 1-3 mm to ensure the smooth passage of sewage. In addition, to reduce the adhesion of the garbage in the filter box 300, a coating of anti-adhesive material can also be provided on the filter plate of the filter box 300. For example, by forming a coating of Teflon material on the filter plate, the adhesion of the garbage can be reduced.
[0081] In some embodiments, such as Figures 10-14As shown, the vibration assembly 370 includes a reset member (not shown in the figure), an eccentric block 371, and a first driving member for driving the eccentric block 371 to rotate. The eccentric block 371 is used to drive the filter plate to move away from the base 200, and the reset member causes the filter plate to always have a tendency to approach the base 200. The eccentric block 371 is disposed on the side of the filter plate away from the base 200. The first driving member drives the eccentric block 371 to perform eccentric rotation, thereby directly or indirectly applying pressure to the filter plate and causing it to move linearly. During the rotation of the eccentric block 371, in the stage where the distance between the rotation axis of the eccentric block 371 and the filter plate gradually increases, the eccentric block 371 drives the filter plate to gradually move away from the rotation axis of the eccentric block 371, and this stage will overcome the reset force of the reset member; in the stage where the distance between the rotation axis of the eccentric block 371 and the filter plate gradually decreases, the reset member will drive the filter plate to gradually approach the rotation axis of the eccentric block 371; through the continuous cyclic rotation of the eccentric block 371, the above process is repeated, thereby realizing the reciprocating vibration of the filter plate relative to the base 200. Among them, the first driving member is preferably a motor, and the rotation shaft 360 of the eccentric block 371 can be directly coaxially connected to the output shaft of the motor. Of course, the rotation shaft 360 of the eccentric block 371 can also be in transmission cooperation with the output shaft of the motor through structures such as gears 463, transmission belts, and belts.
[0082] Optionally, the reset member can be selected as an elastic member, and the two ends of the elastic member are respectively connected to the base 200 and the filter plate. During the rotation of the eccentric block 371, in the stage where the distance between the rotation axis of the eccentric block 371 and the filter plate gradually increases, the elastic member will undergo elastic deformation; in the stage where the distance between the rotation axis of the eccentric block 371 and the filter plate gradually decreases, the elastic reset force of the elastic member will drive the filter plate to gradually approach the rotation axis of the eccentric block 371; through the continuous cyclic rotation of the eccentric block 371 and the action of the elastic member, the reciprocating vibration of the filter plate relative to the base 200 is realized. The elastic member is preferably a helical spring.
[0083] Optionally, the reset member can be selected as a magnetic member. Specifically, the magnetic member includes a first magnetic member disposed on the base 200 and a second magnetic member disposed on the filter plate. The first magnetic member and the second magnetic member are disposed opposite to each other and have the same magnetic poles. When installed in place, the repulsive force between the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member causes the filter plate to move away from the base 200. During the rotation of the eccentric block 371, in the stage where the distance between the rotation axis of the eccentric block 371 and the filter plate gradually decreases, the magnetic repulsive force between the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member will be overcome, causing the second magnetic member to gradually approach the first magnetic member; in the stage where the distance between the rotation axis of the eccentric block 371 and the outer wall of the filter plate gradually increases, the first magnetic member will repel the second magnetic member, thereby driving the filter plate to gradually approach the rotation axis of the eccentric block 371; through the continuous cyclic rotation of the eccentric block 371 and the action of the magnetic member, the reciprocating vibration of the filter plate is achieved.
[0084] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and 2 shown, the drying assembly 500 includes a second driving member, a heating member 520, and a drying air duct 530. The second driving member drives the air flow to enter the drying air duct 530 after passing through the heating member 520, and the drying air duct 530 is communicated with the second receiving space 340. The second driving member is preferably a blower or an air flow pump. The heating member 520 can be a PTC heating element. The drying air duct 530 is communicated with the second receiving space 340 to input drying air flow into the second receiving space 340. Preferably, there are two drying air ducts 530, which enter the second receiving space 340 from both sides of the filter box 300 respectively, so that the drying air flow output by the drying assembly 500 can be evenly dispersed in the second receiving space 340, improving the drying efficiency of the drying assembly 500.
[0085] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1-3 and Figures 15-19As shown, a second sewage discharge part 230 communicating with the first accommodation space 210 is further provided on the base 200. The dust collection assembly further includes a second dust collection pipeline 620, a third dust collection pipeline 630, and a three-way conversion part 640. The second dust collection pipeline 620 is docked with the second sewage discharge part 230. The three-way conversion part 640 can be switched between a first conduction position and a second conduction position. In the first conduction position, the three-way conversion part 640 connects the second dust collection pipeline 620 and the third dust collection pipeline 630. In the second conduction position, the three-way conversion part 640 connects the first dust collection pipeline 610 and the third dust collection pipeline 630. The second sewage discharge part 230 is used for dust collection of the cleaning robot. After the cleaning robot docks in place, the second sewage discharge part 230 will communicate with the dust discharge port on the cleaning robot. After the second sewage discharge part 230 is docked with the second dust collection pipeline 620, the dust collection fan works to generate negative pressure, so as to extract the garbage in the cleaning robot through the second sewage discharge part 230 to clean the garbage inside the cleaning robot. Of course, a dust collection fan can be independently provided for each of the first sewage discharge part 330 and the second sewage discharge part 230 to work, but this will increase the number of electrical components in the cleaning base station, increasing the space occupation and cost. The three-way conversion part 640 in the embodiment of the present application is used to selectively connect the first dust collection pipeline 610 and the second dust collection pipeline 620 to the third dust collection pipeline 630. Among them, the third dust collection pipeline 630 is used to communicate with the dust collection bag. A dust collection drawer 650 can be provided on the main body 100, where a drawer cavity is provided on the main body 100, and the dust collection drawer 650 is arranged in the drawer cavity. A connection hole is provided on the dust collection drawer 650. The dust collection bag is arranged in the dust collection drawer 650, and the bag mouth of the dust collection bag is connected to the connection hole. The connection hole is communicated with the dust collection fan through the third dust collection pipeline.
[0086] The position adjustment of the three-way conversion part 640 can be realized manually or by electric drive. For example, the dust collection assembly can further include a third driving part 660. The third driving part 660 is used to drive the rotation of the three-way conversion part to switch between the first conduction position and the second conduction position. The third driving part 660 can be a motor and a speed reducer in transmission cooperation. Of course, in other embodiments, the speed reducer may not be provided and the three-way conversion part 640 may be directly driven by the motor. The present embodiment does not limit it.
[0087] In some embodiments, such as Figures 20-27As shown, the flushing assembly 400 includes a medium system, a driving pump, a medium pipe 410, and a nozzle 420. The medium system is used to store or generate a medium. The driving pump is used to drive the medium to enter the nozzle 420 through the medium pipe 410 and then spray out. The nozzle 420 and the filter cartridge 300 are respectively located on opposite sides of the base 200, and along the direction from the nozzle 420 to the filter cartridge 300, the slope of the collection area 220 gradually decreases.
[0088] Optionally, the medium system in the above embodiment includes a clean water tank for storing clean water. The driving pump is used to drive the clean water in the clean water tank to enter the nozzle 420 through the medium pipe 410 and then spray out, directly realizing the flushing of the garbage in the base 200 with normal-temperature clean water.
[0089] Optionally, as Figure 21 shown, the medium system in the above embodiment includes a clean water tank and a boiler assembly 430. The boiler assembly 430 is used to heat the clean water in the clean water tank to form high-temperature water. The driving pump is used to drive the high-temperature water to enter the nozzle 420 through the medium pipe 410 and then spray out. The boiler assembly 430 can be arranged on the main body 100. The boiler assembly 430 can heat the cold water drawn from the clean water tank. After the heated high-temperature water is sprayed out through the nozzle 420, it not only realizes the self-cleaning of the base 200 but also realizes the function of hot water sterilization. In addition, the high-temperature hot water can also be used to clean the mop or roller of the cleaning robot, and can also be used for deep cleaning of the ground.
[0090] Optionally, as Figure 21 shown, the medium system in the above embodiment includes a clean water tank and a steam generating assembly 440. The steam generating assembly 440 is used to heat the clean water in the clean water tank to form high-temperature steam. The driving pump is used to drive the high-temperature steam to enter the nozzle 420 through the medium pipe 410 and then spray out. The steam generating assembly 440 can be arranged on the main body 100. The steam generating assembly 440 can heat and vaporize the cold water drawn from the clean water tank. After the heated high-temperature steam is sprayed out through the nozzle 420, it not only realizes the self-cleaning of the base 200 but also realizes the function of high-temperature steam sterilization, and can also perform the disinfection and sterilization function on the host roller or mop and the base 200 of the base station. At the same time, to ensure safety, structures such as the medium pipe 410 and the nozzle 420 need to be designed with high-temperature resistant materials.
[0091] Optionally, the medium system can also include a clean water tank, a boiler assembly 430, and a steam generating assembly 440 at the same time. The medium pipe 410 is connected to the three through a four-way valve, and the medium in the medium pipe 410 can be selected as normal-temperature water, high-temperature water, and high-temperature steam according to needs, improving the selectivity.
[0092] The nozzle 420 and the filter box 300 are respectively located on opposite sides of the base 200, which can help the fluid sprayed by the nozzle 420 cover the entire collection area 220 without leaving dead corners. And along the direction from the nozzle 420 to the filter box 300, the slope of the collection area 220 gradually decreases, which can facilitate the water flow to converge on the filter element 320 at the position of the filter box 300. Preferably, the nozzle 420 is arranged at the front end of the collection area 220, and the filter box 300 is arranged at the rear end of the collection area 220, wherein the side of the base 200 with the docking entrance is the front side, and the other side opposite is the rear side. The medium pipe 410 is preferably set to two, so that the medium can be provided from both sides at the same time to increase the uniformity of the fluid, and the driving pump can be selected as a water pump or an air pump, or a combination of the two, as needed to obtain a greater flushing force.
[0093] In some embodiments, Figure 20 , 22 As shown in Figure 23, the flushing assembly 400 also includes a sliding joint 450 and a locking structure 460. The sliding joint 450 is used to connect the medium pipe 410 and the nozzle 420. The sliding joint 450 is slidably set in the slideway on the base 200. The formation of the slideway can be achieved by grooving in the base 200, or a bottom plate 250 can be separated from the bottom of the base 200. The slideway is formed by enclosing the bottom plate 250 and other parts of the base 200. The locking structure 460 has a locked state and an unlocked state; in the locked state, the sliding joint 450 is fixed relative to the base 200 and the sliding joint 450 is connected to the nozzle 420; in the unlocked state, the sliding joint 450 is separated from the nozzle 420. The sliding joint 450 extends along the left-right direction of the base 200, and slides along the front-back direction of the base 200 to achieve assembly and separation with the nozzle 420. The two ends of the sliding joint 450 in the extension direction serve as inlets, and the fluid flow direction is also parallel to the extension direction of the sliding joint 450. The two inlets are respectively connected to the two medium pipes 410, and the two medium pipes 410 and the sliding joint 450 are respectively connected through the pipeline quick release assembly 470 to achieve quick plug-in and pull-out assembly. The sliding joint 450 is provided with a joint 451 as an outlet, and the fluid flow direction is the front-back direction. The rear part of the nozzle 420 is provided with a water inlet 421 that matches the joint 451. In the locked state, the joint 451 of the sliding joint 450 is matched and connected with the water inlet 421 of the nozzle 420, and a sealing ring can be provided at the connection between the two. Through the setting of the sliding joint 450, the detachable matching and quick assembly of each structure can be conveniently achieved.
[0094] Specifically, the locking structure 460 includes a rotary handle 461, a transmission component, and a buckle 462. One end of the rotary handle 461 is in transmission cooperation with the sliding joint 450 through the transmission component, and the buckle 462 is arranged at the other end of the rotary handle 461. During the rotation of the rotary handle 461, the sliding joint 450 switches between the locked state and the unlocked state. In the locked state, the buckle 462 is engaged with the base 200. By manually rotating the rotary handle 461 to drive the sliding joint 450 to slide, the docking and separation of the sliding joint 450 and the nozzle 420 are realized, and the structure is simple and the operation is convenient. The design of the buckle 462 can prevent the sliding joint 450 and the nozzle 420 from loosening and separating in the locked state.
[0095] Among them, the transmission component includes, but is not limited to, a gear-rack component, a connecting rod component, or a crank-slider component.
[0096] For example, as Figure 22 shown, the transmission component is a gear-rack component. The transmission component specifically includes a gear 463 and a rack 464 that mesh with each other. The gear 463 is rotatably arranged on the base 200 and is connected to the rotary handle 461. The rotation of the gear 463 can be controlled by the rotary handle 461. The rack 464 is arranged on the sliding joint 450. The rotation of the gear 463 drives the rack 464 to move linearly, so that the sliding joint 450 switches between the locked state and the unlocked state.
[0097] Again, as Figure 23 shown, the transmission component is a connecting rod component. The connecting rod component specifically includes a crankshaft 465 and a connecting rod 466 that are connected to each other. The crankshaft 465 is rotatably arranged on the base 200 and is connected to the rotary handle 461. The rotation of the crankshaft 465 can be controlled by the rotary handle 461. The connecting rod 466 is connected to the sliding joint 450. The rotation of the crankshaft 465 drives the connecting rod 466 to move, so that the sliding joint 450 switches between the locked state and the unlocked state.
[0098] In some embodiments, as Figure 20 shown, a compression spring 480 is directly arranged between the sliding joint 450 and the base 200. The compression spring 480 always has a tendency to make the sliding joint 450 slide towards the nozzle 420, that is, the compression spring 480 has the function of keeping the sliding joint 450 in the locked state and preventing loosening. One or more compression springs 480 can be selected according to needs. The compression spring 480 and the buckle 462 in the embodiments of the present application both have the function of maintaining the lock and preventing loosening. Those skilled in the art can choose to use either of them, or both can be used to improve the locking effect.
[0099] In some embodiments, asFigure 20 As shown, a micro switch 490 or a Hall sensor is installed on the sliding joint 450, which will be triggered when the connector 451 of the slider joint 451 is inserted into the water inlet 421 of the nozzle 420, so that the cleaning base station can detect the installation status of the nozzle 420 and the slider joint 451, preventing the flushing component 400 from being started when it is not connected.
[0100] In some embodiments, Figures 24-27 As shown, the structure of the nozzle 420 includes a nozzle cavity 422 located in the upper layer and a water channel 423 located in the lower layer, and the nozzle cavity 422 is provided with a plurality of them along the extension direction of the nozzle 420. By arranging the nozzle 420 in two layers, the width of the nozzle cavity 422 (up and down direction) can be reduced, and the length of the guide angle of the nozzle cavity 422 (front and back direction) can be increased. The nozzle 420 can take in water from both sides, and then spray out from multiple nozzle cavities 422, and the number of nozzle cavities 422 is preferably four. Because the length of the general base 200 in the left and right directions is longer, the length of the nozzle 420 is also correspondingly longer. If only one or two nozzle cavities 422 are designed, the guide angle will be too large, the distance between the left and right sides will be far, resulting in less water flow and too low water pressure. Water flows through the sliding joint 450 and enters the water channel 423 at the bottom of the nozzle 420 from the left and right water inlets 421, and then flows into the nozzle cavity 422 through the water channel through holes 425 on both sides, and then the nozzle cavity 422 is sprayed out through the nozzle 424 to rinse the base 200.
[0101] Preferably, the guide angle of each nozzle cavity 422 does not exceed 135° and can cover the spray holes of the outermost nozzle cavity 422. The guide angle is designed in the nozzle cavity 422 to balance the amount and pressure of water sprayed from each part of the nozzle 420.
[0102] Optional, such as Figure 24 As shown, the nozzle 424 of each nozzle cavity 422 is a strip hole in the same extension direction as the nozzle 420; the gap width of the strip hole in the up and down direction can be 0.5mm. This form can make the nozzle 420 have a wide water outlet coverage, but requires a larger water pressure and water volume, which is suitable for the automatic water supply and discharge version. The above dimensions of this embodiment are only a preferred example and can be adjusted according to actual working conditions.
[0103] Optional, such as Figure 27As shown, the nozzle holes 424 of the nozzle cavity 422 are a plurality of shower holes spaced apart in the extending direction of the nozzle 420. The shower holes can be waist-shaped holes with a left-right width of 1 mm and an up-down length of 3 mm. With this nozzle 420 configuration, the water outlet pressure is moderate, and it can simultaneously take into account the flushing of the bottom surface of the base 200 at both far and near distances; the shower holes can also be round holes with a diameter of 0.5 mm to obtain a greater water pressure. The above dimensions of this embodiment are only a preferred example and can be adjusted according to the actual working conditions.
[0104] This embodiment also separately protects a cleaning device, including a cleaning robot and a cleaning base station. In this embodiment, the cleaning base station can be implemented using the structure of the cleaning base station provided in the above embodiment, which will not be elaborated here.
[0105] In this specification, some embodiments are described in a progressive or parallel manner. Each embodiment focuses on the differences from other embodiments. For the same or similar parts among the various embodiments, reference can be made to each other.
[0106] The above are only the specific embodiments of the present invention, enabling those skilled in the art to understand or implement the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be obvious to those skilled in the art. The general principles defined herein can be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention will not be limited to these embodiments shown herein, but rather will conform to the broadest scope consistent with the principles and novel features claimed herein.
