Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of household appliances, and particularly to a base station and a cleaning system. Background Art

[0002] With the improvement of residents' living standards and the development of home product technologies, cleaning devices integrating multiple functions such as sweeping, washing, mopping, and automatic cleaning are increasingly valued and welcomed by consumers. The cleaning device is usually equipped with a sewage tank to hold the sewage and stains generated after cleaning, and the sewage tank discharges the sewage and stains through a sewage discharge port on the base station. In the prior art, the sewage tank is arranged at the front side of the cleaning device for users to observe the water level and the cleaning process, while the sewage discharge port of the base station is arranged at the rear side, resulting in inconvenient sewage discharge from the sewage tank. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The present invention provides a base station and a cleaning system.

[0004] The base station according to the embodiment of the present application is used for a cleaning device. The base station includes a base and a sewage discharge assembly. The base is used to carry the cleaning device, and the sewage discharge assembly is movably connected to the base. The sewage discharge assembly forms a sewage discharge channel.

[0005] When the cleaning device is placed on the base in the base station according to the embodiment of the present application, the sewage discharge assembly can move relative to the base and the cleaning device, so that the sewage discharge assembly can cooperate with the layout position of the sewage tank in the cleaning device, facilitating sewage discharge.

[0006] In some embodiments, the sewage discharge assembly further includes a mounting member and a drain pipe. The mounting member covers at least part of the drain pipe. The drain pipe forms at least part of the sewage discharge channel, and the mounting member and / or the drain pipe can move relative to the base.

[0007] In this way, the sewage discharge assembly can be movably connected to the base through the mounting member, and the mounting member can support and protect the drain pipe, so that the sewage discharge channel discharges the sewage along a predetermined path.

[0008] In some embodiments, the base is provided with a sewage discharge port, and the end of the drain pipe facing the base is provided with a water outlet. When the sewage discharge port is docked with the water outlet, the sewage discharge port is connected to the drainage channel and discharges the sewage out of the base. When the sewage discharge port is isolated from the water outlet, the sewage discharge port is disconnected from the drainage channel.

[0009] In this way, by docking the sewage discharge port with the water outlet, the sewage discharge channel can discharge the sewage out of the base station.

[0010] In some embodiments, the mounting member is used to move relative to the base in a first direction and a second direction. The sewage discharge assembly is used to move in the first direction to a first position to isolate the water outlet from the sewage outlet, and the sewage discharge assembly is used to move in the second direction to a second position to dock the water outlet with the sewage outlet. The first direction and the second direction are opposite. The first direction is the horizontal direction in which the sewage discharge assembly moves away from the base, and the second direction is the horizontal direction in which the sewage discharge assembly moves closer to the base.

[0011] In this way, by moving the mounting member relative to the base, the sewage discharge assembly is driven to move to a predetermined position in a predetermined direction.

[0012] In some embodiments, the base is formed with a receiving space for receiving the cleaning device when the sewage discharge assembly moves to the first position.

[0013] In this way, by forming the receiving space in the base, the cleaning device can be placed on the base, facilitating the base to drain sewage, add clean water, charge the cleaning device, etc.

[0014] In some embodiments, the base station is provided with an actuating mechanism connected to the sewage discharge assembly for controlling the movement of the sewage discharge assembly.

[0015] In this way, the actuating mechanism can provide drive for the movement of the sewage discharge assembly and control the movement of the sewage discharge assembly as required.

[0016] In some embodiments, the actuating mechanism includes a motor and a transmission assembly. The motor is used to drive the sewage discharge assembly to move. The transmission assembly is connected to the sewage discharge assembly and drives the sewage discharge assembly to move under the drive of the motor.

[0017] In this way, the motor and the transmission assembly cooperate to drive the sewage discharge assembly to move to a predetermined position in a preset direction.

[0018] The cleaning system according to the embodiments of the present application includes a cleaning device and the base station according to any of the above embodiments. The cleaning device includes a sewage tank. The sewage discharge assembly of the base station is used to be connected to the sewage tank so that the sewage in the sewage tank is discharged through the sewage discharge assembly.

[0019] In this way, by providing a movable sewage discharge assembly in the base station, the sewage discharge assembly can cooperate with the position layout of the sewage tank in the cleaning device, facilitating the replacement or modification of the cleaning device.

[0020] In some embodiments, the sewage tank is formed with a second water outlet for connecting to the water inlet of the sewage discharge assembly.

[0021] In this way, the sewage contained in the sewage tank can flow out of the sewage tank through the second water outlet and enter the sewage discharge assembly through the water inlet.

[0022] In some embodiments, the cleaning system further includes a control mechanism configured to control the opening or closing of the second water outlet.

[0023] Thus, by controlling the opening or closing of the second water outlet through the control mechanism, the discharging process of the sewage tank can be controlled.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 1 , this application provides a base station 100 and a cleaning system 1000 for a cleaning device 200. The cleaning device 200 and the cleaning system 1000 of this application can be applied to the cleaning of various environments such as homes, offices, and public activity places. The cleaning device 200 can move on the working surface by being held or driven, and clean the working surface during the movement. The working surface of the cleaning device 200 can be the ground, wall surface, window and door surface, furniture surface, etc., where the ground can include, but is not limited to, floor surface, tile surface, cement surface, carpet, etc.

[0038] Please refer to Figures 1 - 3 , the base station 100 of the embodiment of this application is for the cleaning device 200. The base station 100 includes a base 10 and a sewage discharge component 20. The base 10 is used to carry the cleaning device 200, and the sewage discharge component 20 is movably connected to the base 10. The sewage discharge component 20 is formed with a sewage discharge channel 21.

[0039] In the base station 100 of the embodiment of this application, when the cleaning device 200 is placed on the base 10, the sewage discharge component 20 can move relative to the base 10 and the cleaning device 200, so that the sewage discharge component 20 can cooperate with the layout position of the sewage tank 210 in the cleaning device 200 to facilitate sewage discharge.

[0040] Specifically, when the cleaning device 200 contacts the base station 100, the base station 100 can discharge sewage stains for the cleaning device 200, add cleaning water or cleaning agent, charge, and complete the self-cleaning of the cleaning device 200. The base station 100 can include a discharge circuit. When the cleaning device 200 contacts the base station 100, the cleaning device 200 obtains electric energy through the discharge circuit of the base station 100 to charge the cleaning device 200. After the cleaning device 200 completes the preparation work such as charging, sewage discharge, and water addition in the base station 100, it can disconnect from the base station 100 and contact the working surface to perform the cleaning work.

[0041] The cleaning device 200 includes a handle 220. A user can hold and operate the handle 220 to control the cleaning device 200 to move on a working surface and clean the working surface. For the cleaning device 200 according to the embodiments of the present application, the side facing the working surface is defined as the bottom 202, the side opposite to the bottom 202 and away from the working surface is defined as the top 201, the direction opposite to the bottom 202 and the top 201 is defined as the vertical direction, and the direction from the top 201 to the bottom 202 is defined as the direction from top to bottom. The handle 220 can be arranged on the top 201 of the cleaning device 200.

[0042] The sewage tank 210 is used to hold and collect the sewage generated after the cleaning device 200 cleans the working surface. The sewage tank 210 can be arranged on the front side or the left and right sides of the cleaning device 200, so that the user can observe the water level and stains in the sewage tank 210, and then judge the working process of the cleaning device 200. The front side of the cleaning device 200 can be the side facing the moving direction during the process of cleaning the working surface, and the rear side of the cleaning device 200 is opposite to the front side. In the present application, the direction from the front side to the rear side of the cleaning device 200 is defined as the direction from front to back.

[0043] The base 10 can be in contact with the bottom 202 of the cleaning device 200, and the cleaning device 200 can be placed above the base 10. The base 10 can include a bottom wall 11 and a vertical wall 12 connected to the bottom wall 11. The bottom wall 11 can be arranged to be flat on the ground, and the vertical wall 12 can extend upward from the bottom wall 11 along the vertical direction. The cleaning device 200 can abut downward against the bottom wall 11 and partially abut backward against the vertical wall 12.

[0044] The sewage discharge assembly 20 is at least partially arranged on the bottom wall 11. When the cleaning device 200 needs to discharge sewage, fill water, charge, etc., the sewage discharge assembly 20 can move a predetermined distance in a direction away from the base 10, so that the space on the bottom wall 11 for carrying the cleaning device 200 is larger, and the cleaning device 200 is easily placed on the base 10. When the cleaning device 200 needs to discharge sewage, the sewage discharge assembly 20 can move in a direction close to the cleaning device 200 and be connected to the sewage tank 210 so that the sewage can be discharged through the sewage discharge assembly 20.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 All include schematic cross-sectional views of the sewage discharge assembly 20 according to the embodiments of the present application. The water inlet 211 of the sewage discharge channel 21 is connected to the sewage tank 210 of the cleaning device 200, and the sewage discharge channel 21 is used for flowing sewage and discharging the sewage out of the sewage discharge assembly 20.

[0046] In this way, the sewage discharge channel 21 is connected to the sewage tank 210 through the water inlet 211, so as to discharge the sewage from the sewage tank 210 when the base station 100 carries the cleaning device 200.

[0047] Specifically, the sewage discharge channel 21 can be bent along the outer contour shape of the bottom 202 of the cleaning device 200. One end forms a water inlet 211 that is connected to the sewage tank 210, and the other end forms a water outlet 212 that is connected to the outside of the base station 100. It can be connected to a sewer pipe or other containers such as basins and buckets that receive sewage. When the water inlet 211 is connected to the sewage tank 210, the bottom 202 of the cleaning device 200 can partially abut against the sewage discharge component 20, and the sewage discharge component 20 can surround the front side of the bottom 202 of the cleaning device 200. The sewage discharge channel 21 can be connected between the sewage tank 210 and the base 10 or the sewer pipe through parts or structures such as hoses, pipes, chambers, holes, and channels, enabling sewage to smoothly pass through the sewage discharge channel 21 and flow out of the sewage discharge component 20 along the sewage discharge channel 21.

[0048] In some embodiments, the sewage discharge component 20 further includes a mounting member 22 and a drain pipe 23. The mounting member 22 covers at least a part of the drain pipe 23, and the drain pipe 23 forms at least a part of the sewage discharge channel 21. The mounting member 22 and / or the drain pipe 23 can move relative to the base 10.

[0049] In this way, the sewage discharge component 20 can be movably connected to the base 10 through the mounting member 22. The mounting member 22 can support and protect the drain pipe 23, enabling the sewage discharge channel 21 to discharge sewage along a predetermined path.

[0050] Specifically, the mounting member 22 can be fixedly connected to the drain pipe 23 and cover the outside of the drain pipe 23. The mounting member 22 can move synchronously with the drain pipe 23. The drain pipe 23 can be a hose, a rigid pipe body, or a hollow tubular chamber. The drain pipe 23 can extend from the side of the bottom wall 11 facing the cleaning device 200 to the side opposite to the cleaning device 200. The extending path of the drain pipe 23 can be bent or curved and can match the outer contour shape of the front side of the bottom 202 of the cleaning device 200. The drain pipe 23 is formed with a water inlet 211 and a water outlet 212 along the direction of sewage flowing in the drain pipe 23. Sewage flows from one end where the water inlet 211 is formed to the end where the water outlet 212 is formed. The water inlet 211 and the water outlet 212 can be the open ends of the drain pipe 23.

[0051] In some other embodiments, the drain pipe 23 can be connected to valve components at at least one of the two ends to form the water inlet 211 and / or the water outlet 212.

[0052] In some extended embodiments, the sewage discharge assembly 20 includes a drain pipe 23 which forms a sewage discharge channel 21, and the drain pipe 23 is movably connected to the base 10. The drain pipe 23 can move in a first direction or a second direction. When the drain pipe 23 moves in the first direction to a first position, the drain pipe 23 is isolated from the second water outlet 2101 of the sewage tank 210 and the sewage discharge port 101 of the base 10. When the drain pipe 23 moves in the second direction to a second position, the drain pipe 23 connects the second water outlet 2101 of the sewage tank 210 and the sewage discharge port 101 of the base 10, and the sewage in the sewage tank 210 is discharged from the base station 100 through the drain pipe 23.

[0053] Please continue to refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , in some embodiments, the base 10 is provided with a sewage discharge port 101, and the end of the drain pipe 23 facing the base 10 is provided with a water outlet 212. When the sewage discharge port 101 is docked with the water outlet 212, the sewage discharge port 101 is connected to the drainage channel 21 and the sewage is discharged outside the base 10. When the sewage discharge port 101 is isolated from the water outlet 212, the sewage discharge port 101 is separated from the drainage channel 21.

[0054] In this way, by docking the sewage discharge port 101 with the water outlet 212, the sewage discharge channel 21 can discharge the sewage from the base station 100.

[0055] Specifically, the sewage discharge port 101 can be provided on the bottom wall 11 of the base 10, and the sewage discharge port 101 can be vertically arranged so that the sewage can be discharged smoothly. The drain pipe 23 can form two open ends, one end facing the sewage tank 210 and provided with a water inlet 211, and the other end away from the sewage tank 210 and provided with a water outlet 212. When the cleaning device 100 is placed on the base 10, the water inlet 211 can be connected to the sewage tank 210. Further, when the sewage discharge assembly 20 moves relative to the base 10 until the water outlet 212 is docked with the sewage discharge port 101, the sewage discharge channel 21 is connected to the sewage discharge port 101, and the drain pipe 23 connects the sewage tank 210 and the sewage discharge port 101 of the base 10, so that the sewage in the sewage tank 210 can flow out through the sewage discharge channel 21 and the sewage discharge port 101 in sequence. When the sewage discharge assembly 20 moves relative to the base 10 until the water outlet 212 is isolated from the sewage discharge port 101, the sewage discharge channel 21 is separated from the sewage discharge port 101, so that the process of sewage discharge can be controlled by the movement of the sewage discharge assembly 20.

[0056] In some embodiments, the sewage discharge port 101 can be docked with a floor drain, and the sewage can be directly discharged into the sewer after being discharged from the base 10 through the sewage discharge port 101.

[0057] In some other embodiments, the drain pipe 23 can be telescopic within a certain length range, and the drain pipe 23 remains connected to the sewage outlet 101 during the movement of the sewage discharge assembly 20 relative to the base 10. In this embodiment, the connection between the sewage outlet 101 and the sewage discharge channel 21 can be controlled by opening and closing the sewage outlet 101.

[0058] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , Figure 2 which is a schematic diagram of the sewage discharge assembly 20 of the embodiment of the present application in the first position, Figure 3 and which is a schematic diagram of the sewage discharge assembly 20 of the embodiment of the present application in the second position. In some embodiments, the mounting member 22 is used to move relative to the base 10 in the first direction and the second direction, and the sewage discharge assembly 20 is used to move in the first direction to the first position to isolate the water outlet 212 from the sewage outlet 101, and the sewage discharge assembly 20 is used to move in the second direction to the second position to dock the water outlet 212 with the sewage outlet 101. The first direction and the second direction are opposite, the first direction is the horizontal direction in which the sewage discharge assembly 20 moves away from the base 10, and the second direction is the horizontal direction in which the sewage discharge assembly 20 moves closer to the base 10.

[0059] In this way, by moving the mounting member 22 relative to the base 10, the sewage discharge assembly 20 is driven to move to a predetermined position in a predetermined direction.

[0060] Specifically, the sewage discharge assembly 20 can move under electric drive. The user can control the movement of the sewage discharge assembly 20 in the form of keys, voice commands, etc., or can also move the sewage discharge assembly 20 by manually pushing or pulling the sewage discharge assembly 20. The base 10 can be placed on the ground, with the ground as the horizontal plane, and the front-back direction of the base station 100 is parallel to the horizontal plane. During the movement of the sewage discharge assembly 20 in the first direction, the horizontal distance between the sewage discharge assembly 20 and the base 10 increases. During the movement of the sewage discharge assembly 20 in the second direction, the horizontal distance between the sewage discharge assembly 20 and the base 10 decreases. The first direction and the second direction can be the same as the front-back direction of the cleaning device 200 and / or the base station 100. The first direction can be the direction from back to front, and the second direction can be the direction from front to back.

[0061] As Figure 2 shown, when the sewage discharge assembly 20 moves to the first position in the first direction, the distance between the sewage discharge assembly 20 and the vertical wall 12 increases, the water inlet 211 is disconnected from the sewage tank 210, and the water outlet 212 is separated from the sewage outlet 101. As Figure 3 shown, when the sewage discharge assembly 20 moves to the second position in the second direction, the distance between the sewage discharge assembly 20 and the vertical wall 12 decreases, the water inlet 211 is connected to the sewage tank 210, and the water outlet 212 is connected to the sewage outlet 101.

[0062] The base 10 may be formed with a receiving space for receiving at least a part of the sewage discharging assembly 20. The receiving space may be formed in the bottom wall 11. When the sewage discharging assembly 20 moves to the second position, at least a part of the drain pipe 23 and / or the mounting member 22 is located in the receiving space. During the movement of the sewage discharging assembly 20 from the second position to the first position, it may gradually withdraw from the receiving space.

[0063] Please refer to Figures 2 - 4 , in some embodiments, the base 10 is formed with a receiving space 102 for receiving the cleaning device 200 when the sewage discharging assembly 20 moves to the first position.

[0064] In this way, by forming the receiving space 102 in the base 10, the cleaning device 200 can be placed on the base 10, facilitating the base station 100 to discharge sewage, add clean water, charge the cleaning device 200, etc.

[0065] Specifically, the base 10 and the sewage discharging assembly 20 can jointly define the receiving space 102. The bottom wall 11 and the vertical wall 12 of the base 10 define the lower side and the rear side of the receiving space 102, and the sewage discharging assembly 20 can define the front side of the receiving space 102. The receiving space 102 may be open at the top, and the cleaning device 200 can be placed into the receiving space 102 from top to bottom. When the cleaning device 200 is not working, needs to be charged, needs to be replenished with cleaning liquid, or needs to recycle and collect sewage, the cleaning device 200 is placed in the receiving space 102; when the ground needs to be cleaned, the cleaning device 200 enters the ground to be cleaned from the receiving space 102 and moves along the ground while cleaning the ground.

[0066] As Figure 2 shown, when the sewage discharging assembly 20 moves to the first position, the distance between the sewage discharging assembly 20 and the vertical wall 12 increases, the opening of the receiving space 102 is larger, and the sewage discharging assembly 20 does not block the cleaning device 200 in the up-down direction, so that the cleaning device 200 can be smoothly placed into the receiving space 102. As Figure 3 shown, when the sewage discharging assembly 20 moves to the second position, the distance between the sewage discharging assembly 20 and the vertical wall 12 decreases, the opening of the receiving space 102 is smaller, the cleaning device 200 is placed in the receiving space 102, and the side of the sewage discharging assembly 20 facing the receiving space 102 can abut against and surround part of the cleaning device 200, so that the cleaning device 200 is stably placed in the receiving space 102.

[0067] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 , in some embodiments, the base station 100 is provided with an actuating mechanism 30, the actuating mechanism 30 is connected to the sewage discharging assembly 20, and the actuating mechanism 30 is used to control the movement of the sewage discharging assembly 20.

[0068] In this way, the actuating mechanism 30 can provide driving force for the movement of the sewage discharging assembly 20 and control the movement of the sewage discharging assembly 20 as required.

[0069] Specifically, the actuating mechanism 30 can be electrically connected to the base station 100 and receive the movement signal of the base station 100. When the cleaning device 200 needs to be placed in the accommodating space 102, the actuating mechanism 30 controls the sewage discharging assembly 20 to move in the first direction to the first position. When the sewage tank 210 needs to discharge sewage, the actuating mechanism 30 controls the sewage discharging assembly 20 to move in the second direction to the second position.

[0070] Please refer to Figure 5 , in some embodiments, the actuating mechanism 30 includes a motor 31 and a transmission assembly 32. The motor 31 is used to drive the sewage discharging assembly 20 to move. The transmission assembly 32 is connected to the sewage discharging assembly 20, and the transmission assembly 32 drives the sewage discharging assembly 20 to move under the drive of the motor 31.

[0071] In this way, the motor 31 and the transmission assembly 32 cooperate to drive the sewage discharging assembly 20 to move to a predetermined position along a preset direction.

[0072] Specifically, the motor 31 and the transmission mechanism can be arranged on the base 10. The transmission mechanism can include a gear 321 and a rack 322. The gear 321 can be connected to the motor 31 and rotate under the drive of the motor 31. The rack 322 can be arranged on the mounting member 22 and meshed with the gear 321. When the gear 321 rotates, it drives the rack 322 to move along the direction in which the rack 322 is arranged on the mounting member 22, driving the drain pipe 23 to move synchronously with the mounting member 22. The rack 322 can be laid a certain length along the first direction and / or the second direction to limit the movement direction and movement distance of the sewage discharging assembly 20. The rack 322 converts the rotation of the gear 321 into a translational motion along the first direction and the second direction and drives the sewage discharging assembly 20 to move along the first direction or the second direction.

[0073] In other embodiments, the transmission mechanism can include, but is not limited to, a transmission shaft, a transmission rod, a guide rail, a rope, a set of gears 321, a conveyor belt, a cam, etc.

[0074] Please refer to again Figure 1 , the cleaning system 1000 according to the embodiment of the present application includes a cleaning device 200 and the base station 100 according to any of the above embodiments. The cleaning device 200 includes a sewage tank 210. The sewage discharging assembly 20 is used to be connected to the sewage tank 210 so that the sewage in the sewage tank 210 can be discharged through the sewage discharging assembly 20.

[0075] In this way, by setting the movable sewage discharge component 20 in the base station 100, the sewage discharge component 20 can be matched with the position layout of the sewage tank 210 in the cleaning device 200, so as to facilitate the replacement or modification of the cleaning device 200.

[0076] Specifically, the cleaning device 200 can also be provided with a cleaning device, which can include cleaning tools such as mops and brushes. The cleaning device can be arranged at the bottom 202 of the cleaning device 200. During the movement of the cleaning device 200, the cleaning device can contact and clean the working surface. The cleaning device 200 can be a household appliance such as a floor washer 230, a mopping machine, or a washing, sweeping, and mopping integrated machine. The sewage tank 210 is usually arranged at the front side of the floor washer 230. The base station 100 of the embodiment of the present application can adapt to most existing floor washer 230 models on the market by the movement of the sewage discharge component 20 to match the position of the sewage tank 210, saving the cost of modification or replacement, and being beneficial to saving resources and protecting the environment.

[0077] Please refer to again Figure 2 and Figure 3 , in some embodiments, the sewage tank 210 is formed with a second water outlet 2101, and the second water outlet 2101 is used to communicate with the water inlet 211 of the sewage discharge component 20.

[0078] In this way, the sewage contained in the sewage tank 210 can flow out of the sewage tank 210 through the second water outlet 2101 and enter the sewage discharge component 20 through the water inlet 211.

[0079] Specifically, the second water outlet 2101 can be arranged at the bottom of the sewage tank 210, and the second water outlet 2101 can face the bottom wall 11, so that the sewage in the sewage tank 210 can flow into the sewage discharge component 20 by the action of gravity to accelerate the flow. The second water outlet 2101 and the water inlet 211 can be connected through a valve component, or can form an open end and be inserted into each other.

[0080] In some embodiments, the cleaning system 1000 further includes a control mechanism (not shown in the figure), and the control mechanism (not shown in the figure) is used to control the opening or closing of the second water outlet 2101.

[0081] In this way, by controlling the control mechanism to open or close the second water outlet, the control of the sewage discharge process of the sewage tank is realized.

[0082] Specifically, when the second water outlet 2101 and the water inlet 211 are not connected, a control mechanism (not shown in the figure) can control the second water outlet 2101 to remain closed. When the second water outlet 2101 and the water inlet 211 are connected, the sewage discharge process of the sewage tank 210 is controlled by controlling the opening and closing of the second water outlet 2101. When the volume of sewage in the sewage tank 210 reaches a certain capacity, the control mechanism (not shown in the figure) can control the second water outlet 2101 to open and discharge the sewage into the sewage discharge channel 21. When the sewage is completely discharged, the second water outlet 2101 can be controlled to close. The control mechanism (not shown in the figure) can also control the flow rate of the sewage passing through the second water outlet 2101 to meet different sewage discharge requirements and adjust the sewage discharge mode.
