DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0026] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described clearly and completely below in combination with the drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present disclosure, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.
[0027] Reference herein to "an embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment can be included in at least one embodiment of the disclosure. The appearances of the phrase in various places in the specification are not necessarily all referring to the same embodiment, nor are they necessarily mutually exclusive of one another. As will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art, embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.
[0028] The cleaning system provided by the present disclosure will be described in detail below in conjunction with embodiments.
[0029] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 , Figure 1 is a structural schematic diagram of an embodiment of the cleaning system of the present disclosure; Figure 2 is a sectional schematic diagram of an embodiment of the cleaning system of the present disclosure; Figure 3 is a sectional schematic diagram of a cleaning device in the cleaning system of the present disclosure. The present disclosure provides a cleaning system 100. The cleaning system 100 comprises a cleaning device 10 and a base station 20. The cleaning device 10 is used to clean dirt such as stains and suspended matters in areas such as pools and swimming pools. The cleaning device 10 can be but is not limited to an underwater cleaning device or a water surface cleaning device. The underwater cleaning device is used to clean underwater dirt and the like. The water surface cleaning device is used to clean water surface dirt and the like. The cleaning device 10 can be but is not limited to a pool cleaning robot, a swimming pool cleaning robot and the like, which are not limited herein. The base station 20 can be but is not limited to a device for sucking in garbage in the cleaning device 10, a device for charging the cleaning device 10 and a device for storing the cleaning device 10 and the like, which are not limited herein. The base station 20 is used to be installed on a pool wall, a pool bottom or a shore of a pool, a swimming pool and the like.
[0030] The cleaning device 10 comprises a device body 11, a first filter assembly 13, a first interface 14, a second interface 15, and a main water pump 17. The device body 11 has a first accommodating space 12. The first accommodating space 12, the first filter assembly 13, the first interface 14, and the second interface 15 are all arranged on the device body 11. The first accommodating space 12 provides a mounting position for the first filter assembly 13. The first filter assembly 13 is arranged at least partially in the first accommodating space 12. That is, the first filter assembly 13 can be arranged partially in the first accommodating space 12. Alternatively, the first filter assembly 13 is arranged entirely in the first accommodating space 12. The first filter assembly 13 serves as a filter assembly for filtering dirt in water. The first filter assembly 13 can be a flexible filter bag or formed by arranging a filter screen on a rigid frame. The first interface 14 is in fluid communication with the first accommodating space 12 to allow water flowing through the first filter assembly 13 to flow out of the first accommodating space 12 during the cleaning process of the cleaning device 10. The second interface 15 is in fluid communication with the first accommodating space 12. The second interface 15 is adapted to sealingly engage with the first opening to allow water to flow into the first filter assembly 13 during the cleaning process of the cleaning device 10. When the first filter assembly 13 is placed in the first accommodating space 12, the first opening arranged on the first filter assembly 13 is substantially sealingly engaged with the first interface 14 arranged on the cleaning device 10, so that water flowing through the first opening cannot directly flow into the first accommodating space 12 or water cannot leak from the first accommodating space 12 through the second interface 15. During the cleaning process of the cleaning device 10, the main water pump 17 generates a first flow direction water flow X, which sequentially flows through the first opening, the first filter assembly 13, and the first interface 14. That is, the dust-carrying water flow flows into the first filter assembly 13 from the first opening and flows out after being filtered by the first filter assembly 13. Under the action of the above-mentioned first flow direction water flow X, the first filter assembly 13 can filter dirt in water, thereby cleaning the pool, the swimming pool, or the like.
[0031] The base station 20 comprises a base station body 21 and a third interface 23. The third interface 23 is arranged on the base station body 21. The third interface 23 is adapted to engage with the first opening or the second interface 15 to allow water to flow from the first filter assembly 13 to the base station body 21 during the self-cleaning process of the cleaning device 10. The self-cleaning process of the cleaning device 10 generates a second flow direction water flow Y. The second flow direction water flow Y sequentially flows through the first interface 14, the first filter assembly 13, the first opening or the second interface 15, the third interface 23, and then flows to the base station body 21.
[0032] The cleaning system 100 further comprises a power assembly (not shown in the figure). The power assembly forms the second flow direction water flow Y during the self-cleaning process. During the self-cleaning process of the cleaning device 10, the first interface 14 is in communication with a water source to provide the second flow direction water flow Y. The above-mentioned water source can be water in the pool, the swimming pool, or the like.
[0033] During the cleaning process of the cleaning device 10, the second interface 15 is used for water inlet, and the first interface 14 is used for water outlet. The water flow X in the first flow direction flows through the second interface 15 or the first opening, the first filter assembly 13 and the first interface 14 in sequence. During the self-cleaning process of the cleaning device 10, the first interface 14 is used for water inlet. The first interface 14 is at least partially below the water surface, or the first interface 14 is connected to the pool through a conduit. The second interface 15 is used for water outlet. The first opening or the second interface 15 is connected to the third interface 23. The water flow Y in the second flow direction flows through the first interface 14, the first filter assembly 13, the first opening or the second interface 15 and the third interface 23 in sequence. The self-cleaning process of the cleaning device 10 is at least partially performed in water. At the same time, the path of the water flow X in the first flow direction and the path of the water flow Y in the second flow direction at least partially overlap, and the power assembly guides the water to at least pass through the first interface 14 and the first filter assembly 13, wherein the water can flush the inside and the side wall of the first filter assembly 13 to clean the dirt on the inside and the side wall of the first filter assembly 13. Then, the dirt in the water moves to the base body 21 through the first opening or the second interface 15 and the third interface 23 or is discharged to the sewage pool through the base body 21.
[0034] Therefore, the user can automatically clean the dirt collected in the first filter assembly 13 without manually fishing out the cleaning device 10 for manual flushing and cleaning, and can also effectively clean the side wall and the like of the first filter assembly 13, and at most only needs to clean the base station 20. In the above manner, on the one hand, the cleaning of the area to be cleaned (such as the pool or the swimming pool area) and the automatic cleaning of the first filter assembly 13 of the cleaning device 10 are realized, and the intelligence of the cleaning system 100 is improved; on the other hand, the traditional cleaning device 10 cleaning needs manual attendance or operation, and the user only needs to select the operation steps through the remote control or the terminal or completely through the automatic processing steps of the cleaning system 100 to realize the automatic cleaning of the cleaning device 10, thereby improving the user experience.
[0035] During the self-cleaning process of the cleaning device 10, the dirt discharged from the first filter assembly 13 can continue to flow along the first opening or the second interface 15 and the third interface 23 to the base body 21 with the water flow. Alternatively, during the self-cleaning process of the cleaning device 10, the dirt discharged from the first filter assembly 13 can continue to move to the base body 21 along the first opening or the second interface 15 and the third interface 23 under the action of air pressure. The length of the water flow path or the air pressure path can be determined according to actual needs, which is not limited herein.
[0036] The number of the first interfaces 14 can be one, two or more. When the number of the first interfaces 14 is two, the two first interfaces 14 can be arranged in different ways. For example, during the cleaning process, one of the first interfaces 14 is in the open state and the other first interface 14 is in the closed state, and the water flow X in the first flow direction flows through the first opening, the first filter assembly and the first interface 14 in sequence, and then flows out of the cleaning device 10. During the self-cleaning process, one of the first interfaces 14 is in the closed state and the other first interface 14 is in the open state, and the water flow in the second flow direction flows through the other first interface 14, the first filter assembly 13, the first opening and the third interface 23 in sequence. Of course, in other embodiments, the number of the first interfaces 14 can be three, four or the like, which can be determined according to actual conditions.
[0037] Alternatively, during the cleaning process, one of the first interfaces 14 is in the open state, and the one first interface 14 is the outlet through which the water flows out of the cleaning device during the cleaning process, and at least one of the other first interfaces 14 is in the closed state. During the self-cleaning process, at least two of the first interfaces 14 are in the open state. The first containing space 12 is a relatively closed space, one of the first interfaces 14 is arranged on one side of the first containing space 12, and at least one of the other first interfaces 14 is arranged on the other side of the first containing space 12. The water source enters the first containing space 12 from at least two of the first interfaces 14, and the water flows from the opposite sides of the first containing space 12 to wash the outer wall of the first filter assembly 13, which can more effectively remove the garbage (such as small algae) adhered to the inner wall of the filter screen of the first filter assembly 13.
[0038] It should be noted that the two first interfaces 14 can be both outlets of the cleaning device 10. Alternatively, one of the two first interfaces 14 is an outlet of the cleaning device 10. Alternatively, neither of the two first interfaces 14 is an outlet of the cleaning device 10, i.e., the two first interfaces 14 are different from the outlet of the cleaning device 10. The number and purpose of the first interfaces 14 can be limited according to actual conditions.
[0039] The number of the second interfaces 15 can be one, two or three, etc. The number of the third interfaces 23 can be one, two or three, etc. The number of the second interfaces 15 and the number of the third interfaces 23 can be the same or different, and the number can be determined according to actual needs, which is not limited herein. When the number of the second interfaces 15 is one, the second interface 15 is disconnected with the third interface 23 during the cleaning process of the cleaning device 10. The second interface 15 can have the water inlet function in addition to the water outlet function. That is, the second interface 15 can also be the water inlet (not shown in the figure) of the cleaning device 10, which is used to suck the dirt in the water source into the first filter assembly 13. The second interface 15 and the water inlet of the cleaning device can be the same. The water flow X of the first flow direction flows through the water inlet or the second interface 15 of the cleaning device 10, the first filter assembly 13, the first filter assembly 13 and the first interface 14 in sequence. By setting the water inlet of the cleaning device 10 as the second interface 15, the cleaning device 10 can not only meet the cleaning process and the self-cleaning process at the same time, but also does not need to increase the structure and reduce the cost. Because different types of cleaning devices 10 must have a water inlet, the base station 20 can meet different types of cleaning devices 10, thereby improving the general performance of the base station 20 and facilitating the popularization and use of the base station 20.
[0040] When the number of the second interfaces 15 is two, one of the second interfaces 15 is the water inlet of the cleaning device 10, and the other second interface 15 is the self-cleaning outlet during the self-cleaning process. That is, the second interface 15 and the water inlet of the cleaning device 10 can be different. During the cleaning process of the cleaning device 10, the water flow X of the first flow direction flows through the water inlet of the cleaning device 10, the first filter assembly 13, the first filter assembly 13 and the first interface 14 in sequence, and the self-cleaning outlet is closed at this time. During the self-cleaning process of the cleaning device 10, the self-cleaning outlet is connected with the third interface 23. The water flow Y of the second flow direction flows through the first interface 14, the first filter assembly 13, the first filter assembly 13, the self-cleaning outlet and the third interface 23 in sequence, and the water inlet of the cleaning device 10 is closed at this time. Although the second interface 15 and the water inlet of the cleaning device 10 are different, the path of the water flow X of the first flow direction and the path of the water flow Y of the second flow direction are at least partially overlapped. It should be noted that the two second interfaces 15 can both be the water inlets of the cleaning device 10, and the self-cleaning outlet is different from the two second interfaces 15. Alternatively, one of the two second interfaces 15 is the water inlet of the cleaning device 10, and the other second interface 15 is the self-cleaning outlet. Alternatively, the two second interfaces 15 are both self-cleaning outlets, and the self-cleaning outlet is different from the water inlet of the cleaning device 10. The number and the use of the second interfaces 15 can be limited according to actual conditions.
[0041] In some embodiments, during the self-cleaning process of the cleaning device 10, the second interface 15 or the first opening is in sealed docking with the third interface 23, not only reducing the risk of leakage of dirt between the second interface 15 or the first opening and the third interface 23, avoiding the re-entry of dirt into the pool, pool, and other areas; but also reducing the risk of liquid leakage between the second interface 15 or the first opening and the third interface 23, ensuring the stability of the water flow, thereby improving the self-cleaning effect of the cleaning device 10.
[0042] The sealed docking form between the second interface 15 or the first opening and the third interface 23 described above can be that a sealing soft rubber ring is arranged on the third interface 23. Alternatively, the sealed docking form can be that a sealing soft rubber ring is arranged at the end of the first opening or the second interface 15. Alternatively, the sealed docking form can be that a sealing soft rubber ring is arranged on the third interface 23 and the end of the first opening or the second interface 15. When the second interface 15 or the first opening and the third interface 23 form the above docking posture, the sealing soft rubber ring plays a role in preventing water flow from leaking at the docking position.
[0043] During the sealed docking process of the second interface 15 or the first opening and the third interface 23, the second interface 15 and the third interface 23 are at least partially located below the water surface. By locating the second interface 15 and the third interface 23 at least partially below the water surface, the water flow path can be increased, making it easier for dirt in the water to enter the base station 20, thereby improving the self-cleaning effect of the cleaning device 10.
[0044] Please continue to refer to Figures 1 to 3 In some embodiments, the cleaning system 100 includes a second filter assembly 24. The second filter assembly 24 plays a filtering role for filtering the dust-carrying water flow entering the base station 20. The second filter assembly 24 can be arranged in at least one of the base station 20, outside the base station 20, and a pool skimming assembly (not shown in the figure). For example, the second filter assembly 24 can be arranged in the base station 20 and outside the base station 20 at the same time. Alternatively, the second filter assembly 24 can be arranged in the base station 20 and the pool skimming assembly at the same time. Alternatively, the second filter assembly 24 can be arranged in the base station 20, outside the base station 20, and the pool skimming assembly at the same time. The second filter assembly 24 can also be other combinations, which will not be described here.
[0045] The above-mentioned arrangement position and number of the second filter assembly 24 can be determined according to the actual situation, which is not limited here. By arranging the above-mentioned second filter assembly 24, the cleaning system 100 can facilitate the filtration of dirt entering the base station 20, facilitate the user to take out the second filter assembly 24 from the base station 20, and flush or throw away the dirt in the second filter assembly 24, etc., thereby improving the use experience. Optionally, the second filter assembly 24 is detachably arranged in at least one of the base station 20, outside the base station 20, and the pool skimming assembly, facilitating the detachable and installation of the second filter assembly 24.
[0046] In one embodiment, the cleaning system 100 further comprises a second accommodating space 22 disposed at least partially in the base body 21 and a second filter assembly 24 disposed at least partially in the second accommodating space 22. The second accommodating space 22 provides a mounting position for the second filter assembly 24. The second filter assembly comprises a second opening. The second opening of the second filter assembly 24 is in communication with the third interface 23. The power assembly is configured to direct the water flow to sequentially flow through the first interface 14, the first filter assembly 13, the first opening, the third interface 23 and the second opening, and into the second filter assembly 24. That is, the dirt in the cleaning device 10 enters the second filter assembly 24 through the third interface 23 and the second opening, and is filtered by the second filter assembly 24. Compared with manually cleaning the first filter assembly 13 of the cleaning device 10, the user only needs to clean the second filter assembly 24, thereby improving the convenience of use.
[0047] The mesh number of the second filter assembly 24 described above needs to be greater than or equal to that of the first filter assembly 13, so that the dirt is retained in the second filter assembly 24, thereby improving the filtering performance of the second filter assembly 24. The second filter assembly 24 comprises a filter screen structure. The filter screen structure comprises a filter box (not shown in the figure) and a filter screen (not shown in the figure). The filter screen is disposed on the filter box. Alternatively, the second filter assembly 24 comprises a filter bag 241. The second filter assembly 24 can be determined according to actual needs, which is not limited herein.
[0048] For example, the second filter assembly 24 comprises a filter bag 241, and the second filter assembly 24 is disposed in the base station 20. That is, the filter bag 241 is detachably mounted in the base body 21. An installation plate (not shown in the figure) is disposed at the inlet of the filter bag 241. The opening of the installation plate corresponds to the inlet of the filter bag 241. By mounting the installation plate into the second accommodating space 22, the opening of the installation plate corresponds to the third interface 23 in the second accommodating space 22.
[0049] The filter bag 241 can include a first filter water inlet (not shown in the figure) and a first filter water outlet (not shown in the figure). The power assembly is used to guide the water flow to pass through the third interface 23, the first filter water inlet, the filter bag 241, and then flow out from the first filter water outlet. The first filter water outlet can be the outer wall of the entire filter bag 241. Through the cooperation of the power assembly and the filter bag 241, the filter bag 241 can filter the dirt in the water. When it is necessary to clean the dirt in the water, the filter bag 241 can be taken out from the base station 20 for cleaning. In other embodiments, the filter bag 241 can also be arranged outside the base station 20 and in the pool skimming assembly, and the installation and filtering principle is the same as above, which will not be repeated here. When the filter bag 241 is away from or close to the water surface, the cleaning system 100 can also include an automatic drying assembly. The automatic drying assembly is used to dry the dirt in the filter bag 241, so as to reduce the odor caused by long-term non-cleaning of the filter bag 241.
[0050] In an embodiment, the cleaning system 100 further includes a fifth interface 26. The fifth interface 26 is arranged on the base station body 21. The fifth interface 26 is in flow communication with the second filter assembly 24, so as to guide the water flow passing through the second filter assembly 24 to flow out of the base station body 21 during the self-cleaning process of the cleaning device 10. Through the cooperation of the second filter assembly 24 and the fifth interface 26, the dirt in the water is filtered by the second filter assembly 24, and then the water flow is discharged from the fifth interface 26. The water flow discharged from the fifth interface 26 can be discharged into an external sewage system or a pool, a swimming pool or the like, or discharged through an external sewage pipeline, which is not limited here.

[0079] In some embodiments, when the cleaning device 10 detects that the first filter assembly 13 is clogged or full or receives a preset instruction, the base station 20 dirty water recycling program instruction is started. After the cleaning device 10 moves to the base station 20, the second interface 15 of the cleaning device 10 is docked with the third interface 23 of the base station 20. At this time, the self-cleaning process of the cleaning device 10 is used to form the second flow direction of the water flow Y.

The first filter assembly 13 functions to filter dirt in water. The first interface 14 is in fluid communication with the first accommodating space 12 to allow water flowing through the first filter assembly 13 to flow out of the first accommodating space 12 during the cleaning process of the cleaning device 10. The second interface 15 is in fluid communication with the first accommodating space 12. The second interface 15 is adapted to be docked with the first opening to allow water to flow into the first filter assembly 13 during the cleaning process of the cleaning device 10. The cleaning device 10 generates a first flow direction water flow X during the cleaning process, and the first flow direction water flow X sequentially flows through the second interface 15 or the first opening, the first filter assembly 13, and the first interface 14.

[0089] The cleaning device 10 further comprises a fourth interface 16. The fourth interface 16 is in flow communication with the first housing space 12. During the self-cleaning process of the cleaning device 10, the second flow direction water flow Y is generated. The second flow direction water flow Y sequentially flows through the fourth interface 16, the first filter assembly 13, the first opening or the second interface 15 and the third interface 23.
[0090] The cleaning system 100 further comprises a power assembly (not shown). The power assembly is configured to generate the second flow direction water flow Y during the self-cleaning process. During the cleaning process of the cleaning device 10, the fourth interface 16 is in a closed state. The first interface 14 is in an open state. During the self-cleaning process of the cleaning device 10, the fourth interface 16 is in an open state and the first interface 14 is in a closed state. The fourth interface 16 can be a water inlet during the self-cleaning process of the cleaning device 10. When the fourth interface 16 is in the open state, the fourth interface 16 is in communication with a water source to provide the second flow direction water flow Y. The water source can be water in a pool, a swimming pool or the like.
[0091] During the cleaning process of the cleaning device 10, the second interface 15 is configured to receive water and the first interface 14 is configured to discharge water.

The second flow direction water flow Y sequentially flows through the fourth interface 16, the first filter assembly 13, the first opening or the second interface 15 and the third interface 23. The self-cleaning process of the cleaning device 10 is at least partially performed in water. Meanwhile, the first flow direction water flow X path and the second flow direction water flow Y path at least partially overlap. The power assembly is configured to direct water to at least flow through the first filter assembly 13. The water is configured to flush the inside and the sidewall of the first filter assembly 13 to clean dirt on the inside and the sidewall of the first filter assembly 13. The dirt in the water is then moved to the base station body 21 through the first opening or the second interface 15 and the third interface 23.
[0092] Thus, the user can effectively clean the dirt collected in the first filter assembly 13 and clean the inner side wall of the first filter assembly 13 without manually fishing out the cleaning device 10 for manual flushing and cleaning, and at most only needs to clean the base station 20. In the above manner, on the one hand, the cleaning of the area to be cleaned (such as a pool or a swimming pool) and the automatic cleaning of the first filter assembly 13 of the cleaning device 10 are realized, and the intelligence of the cleaning system 100 is improved; on the other hand, the traditional cleaning device 10 cleaning needs manual attendance or operation, and the user only needs to select the operation steps through the remote control or the terminal or completely through the automatic processing steps of the cleaning system 100 to realize the automatic cleaning of the cleaning device 10, and the user experience is improved.
[0093] It should be noted that the position and manner of setting the second filter assembly 24 in the cleaning system 100, the position and manner of setting the power assembly, and the like in the present embodiment can be the same as those in the above-mentioned embodiments of the cleaning system 100, and will not be described herein.

The first accommodating space 12 provides a mounting position for the first filter assembly 13. The first filter assembly 13 is at least partially arranged in the first accommodating space 12. That is, the first filter assembly 13 can be partially arranged in the first accommodating space 12, or the first filter assembly 13 can be entirely arranged in the first accommodating space 12. The first filter assembly 13 serves as a filter assembly for filtering dirt in water. The first interface 14 is in fluid communication with the first accommodating space 12 to allow the water flow passing through the first filter assembly 13 to flow out of the first accommodating space 12 during the cleaning process of the cleaning device 10. The second interface 15 is in fluid communication with the first accommodating space 12. The second interface 15 is suitable for being docked with the first opening to allow the water flow to enter the first filter assembly 13 during the cleaning process of the cleaning device 10. The cleaning device 10 generates a first flow direction water flow X during the cleaning process. The first flow direction water flow X sequentially flows through the second interface 15 or the first opening, the first filter assembly 13, and the first interface 14. Under the action of the above-mentioned first flow direction water flow X, the first filter assembly 13 can filter the dirt in the water, thereby cleaning the pool, swimming pool, and the like.
[0095] The base station 20 comprises a base station body 21 and a third interface 23. The third interface 23 is disposed on the base station body 21. The third interface 23 is adapted to interface with the first opening or the second interface 15 to allow water flow from the first filter assembly 13 to the base station body 21 during the self-cleaning process of the cleaning apparatus 10.
[0096] The first filter assembly 13 further comprises a third opening. The third opening is adapted to allow water flow into the first filter assembly 13 during the self-cleaning process. The self-cleaning process of the cleaning apparatus 10 generates a second water flow Y. The second water flow Y flows through the first interface 14, the third opening, the first filter assembly 13, the first opening or the second interface 15 and the third interface 23 in sequence.
[0097] The cleaning system 100 further comprises a power assembly (not shown). The power assembly is configured to generate the second water flow Y during the self-cleaning process. During the self-cleaning process of the cleaning apparatus 10, the third opening is in communication with a water source to provide the second water flow Y. The third opening is in an open state and the first interface is in a closed state. Water flows into the third opening and out of the first opening. The self-cleaning process is configured to remove dirt from the first filter assembly 13. During the cleaning process of the cleaning apparatus 10, the third opening is in a closed state. The water source can be water from a pool, a swimming pool or the like.
[0098] During the cleaning process of the cleaning apparatus 10, the second interface 15 is configured to allow water to enter. The first interface 14 is configured to allow water to exit. The first water flow X flows through the second interface 15 or the first opening, the first filter assembly 13 and the first interface 14 in sequence. During the self-cleaning process of the cleaning apparatus 10, the first interface 14 is configured to allow water to enter. The first interface 14 is at least partially submerged in water. The second interface 15 is configured to allow water to exit. The first opening or the second interface 15 is in communication with the third interface 23. The second water flow Y flows through the first interface 14, the third opening, the first filter assembly 13, the first opening or the second interface 15 and the third interface 23 in sequence. The self-cleaning process of the cleaning apparatus 10 is at least partially performed in water. The path of the first water flow X and the path of the second water flow Y at least partially overlap. The power assembly is configured to direct water to flow through the first filter assembly 13. The water is configured to flush dirt from the interior and the sidewall of the first filter assembly 13. The dirt is then removed from the interior and the sidewall of the first filter assembly 13 through the first opening or the second interface 15, the third interface 23 and into the base station body 21.
[0099] Therefore, the user can automatically clean the dirt collected in the first filter assembly 13 and effectively clean the inner side wall of the first filter assembly 13 without manually fishing out the cleaning device 10 for manual flushing and cleaning, and at most only needs to clean the base station 20. In the above manner, on the one hand, the cleaning of the area to be cleaned (such as a pool or a swimming pool) and the automatic cleaning of the first filter assembly 13 of the cleaning device 10 are realized, and the intelligence of the cleaning system 100 is improved; on the other hand, the traditional cleaning device 10 cleaning needs manual attendance or operation, and the user only needs to select the operation steps through the remote control or the terminal or completely through the automatic processing steps of the cleaning system 100 to realize the automatic cleaning of the cleaning device 10, and the user experience is improved.
[0100] The first opening is provided with an openable and closable first cover plate. The first cover plate can open or close the first opening in an active and passive manner. The third opening is provided with an openable and closable third cover plate. The third cover plate can open or close the third opening in an active and passive manner. The active manner can be that a driving member directly drives the corresponding cover plate to open or close the opening. The passive manner can be that the corresponding cover plate is driven to open or close the opening by water pressure. For example, due to the water pressure, the first cover plate can open the first opening during the cleaning process; the third cover plate can close the third opening. Due to the water pressure, the first cover plate can open the first opening during the self-cleaning process; the third cover plate can open the third opening.
[0101] It should be noted that the position and arrangement of the second filter assembly 24 in the cleaning system 100, the position and arrangement of the power assembly, and the like in the embodiments of the cleaning system 100 described above can be the same as those in the embodiments of the cleaning system 100, and will not be described here.
