Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of cleaning equipment, and in particular to a base station and a cleaning system. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the increasing demand for smart home and cleaning automation, the functions of floor cleaning equipment (such as a robot vacuum cleaner, a floor washing machine, etc.) are gradually enriched, and multiple functions such as dust collection, mopping, and self-cleaning are integrated.

[0003] With the increase in the overall weight of the cleaning equipment caused by the function stacking, after the cleaning is completed, the user needs to lift the cleaning equipment to the charging base or the storage position. The heavy body causes great inconvenience and burden to the user, especially to the elderly or the weak.

[0004] However, the base station in the related art still has the problem of poor experience when charging the cleaning equipment. SUMMARY

[0005] The embodiments of the present application provide a base station and a cleaning system to solve the problem of poor experience when charging the cleaning equipment in the related art.

[0006] To achieve the above purpose, the embodiments of the present application provide the following technical solutions:

[0007] The first aspect of the embodiments of the present application provides a base station, which includes a base and a bracket cover plate; wherein the base includes a containing space, one side of the containing space is provided with an opening, the opening is used for the cleaning equipment to enter the containing space; the bracket cover plate is arranged on any inner wall of both sides of the opening of the containing space, and the bracket cover plate is rotationally connected with the base through a rotating shaft; the bracket cover plate includes a pushed part and a charging part which are arranged at intervals in the in-station direction of the cleaning equipment, and the rotating shaft is located between the pushed part and the charging part; the bracket cover plate includes an initial position and a charging position, when the bracket cover plate is switched from the initial position to the charging position, the pushed part moves away from the containing space, and the charging part moves towards the containing space; the cleaning equipment is used to drive the bracket cover plate to switch from the initial position to the charging position through the pushed part in the process of entering the containing space.

[0008] In the prior art, most cleaning device base stations are enclosed around and do not have openings. After the user finishes using the cleaning device, the user needs to pick up the cleaning device and then place it on the base station for charging, self-cleaning, and drying. Since the current cleaning device is heavy, it takes a lot of effort to pick up the cleaning device, which makes the user experience poor. The base station provided in the embodiments of the present application has an opening on one side of the accommodation space, which is used for the cleaning device to enter the accommodation space. After cleaning, the user can directly push the cleaning device into the base station through a small force, without the need to pick up the cleaning device, which can significantly improve the user experience.

[0009] In the second aspect, most push-in base station cleaning devices currently have charging terminals arranged on the bottom of the body instead of the brush. Correspondingly, a "charging pile" needs to be arranged on the base station, which is higher than the ground plate accommodating the brush on the base station, so as to contact the charging terminals on the cleaning device. This design greatly limits the design space of the base station and increases the design complexity and cost. The bracket cover plate is arranged on at least one inner wall on either side of the opening of the accommodation space, which makes the design of the base station more simple. Since the position of the "charging pile" is saved, design space can be reserved for the design of other components such as the water tank of the base station.

[0010] In a third aspect, the existing partial push-in station type scrubber designs the charging terminal on the side wall of the base station. Some designs set a recess on the ground of the base station at the position for accommodating the rear wheel of the cleaning equipment, design a protrusion on the recess, and the protrusion is linked with the charging terminal on the side wall. In the initial state, the protrusion protrudes from the recess, and the charging terminal is retracted in the side wall of the base station. When the cleaning equipment is pushed into the base station, the rear wheel of the floor brush presses down the protrusion, and the charging terminal is correspondingly extended out of the side wall to contact the charging terminal on the cleaning equipment for charging. Since the movable protrusion needs to be set on the ground of the base station, a corresponding gap needs to be reserved, which may be blocked by garbage and cause the protrusion to be stuck, resulting in the problem of charging failure. Meanwhile, the existing technology also has the problem that a bracket cover plate including a charging terminal and a guide wheel and movable in the direction parallel to the width of the base station is arranged on the side wall. When the cleaning equipment is pushed into the base station, the bracket cover plate moves from the initial position to the avoiding position, and after the cleaning equipment is in place, the bracket cover plate moves from the avoiding position to the charging position. In the case that the side surface of the floor brush is flat, since the guide wheel on the bracket cover plate protrudes more from the side wall than the charging terminal, when the end of the guide wheel abuts against the side surface of the floor brush and the bracket cover plate cannot move any more, since the length of the charging terminal on the base station is shorter than that of the guide wheel, the charging terminal on the base station has not contacted the charging terminal on the cleaning equipment, resulting in charging failure. Therefore, in order to enable the charging terminal on the base station to contact the charging terminal on the cleaning equipment, a larger recess needs to be correspondingly arranged on the side surface of the cleaning equipment to accommodate the guide wheel, which affects the flatness of the side surface of the floor brush and affects the appearance, and may also increase the thickness of the side end plate, resulting in poor edge cleaning effect of the cleaning equipment. The bracket cover plate is rotatably connected to the base through a rotating shaft. The rotating shaft of the bracket cover plate is provided with a pushing receiving portion and a charging portion on both sides. When the cleaning equipment enters the containing space, the floor brush assembly on the cleaning equipment first contacts the pushing receiving portion. Since the pushing receiving portion and the charging portion are located on both sides of the rotating shaft, when the pushing receiving portion moves away from the containing space under the extrusion of the floor brush, the charging portion moves towards the containing space, so as to automatically drive the bracket cover plate to switch from the initial position to the charging position. Therefore, the scheme does not need to set a protrusion linked with the charging terminal on the bottom surface of the base station, so that the bottom surface of the base station is more flat and easy to clean, and is not easy to be blocked by garbage on the tire to cause charging failure. Meanwhile, since the lever principle is used, when the charging terminal on the base station is connected with the charging terminal on the floor brush, the scheme also does not need to set a corresponding recess on the side surface of the floor brush to accommodate the pushing receiving portion, so that the flatness of the side surface of the floor brush is better, and the effect of edge cleaning of the floor brush is not affected.

[0011] In a possible implementation, in the width direction of the containing space, when the bracket cover plate is in the charging position, the top of the charging portion is closer to the middle of the containing space than the top of the pushing receiving portion.

[0012] In a possible implementation, in the width direction of the accommodation space, the top of the pushed part is closer to the middle of the accommodation space than the top of the charging part when the bracket cover plate is in the initial position.

[0013] By making the top of the pushed part closer to the middle of the accommodation space than the top of the charging part when the bracket cover plate is in the initial position, the contact guiding path when the cleaning device enters is optimized, ensuring that the cleaning device can preferentially and reliably contact and push the pushed part, thereby significantly improving the success rate and timeliness of triggering the turning action of the bracket cover plate. The height difference design forms a pushed part first contact mechanism in the space layout, so that the cleaning device can start the turning process of the bracket cover plate before fully entering the accommodation space, realizing the prepositioning of the charging docking preparation stage, effectively shortening the waiting time of the entire charging process, and improving the system efficiency. This structure arrangement makes the charging part in the initial position in a relatively raised hidden state, providing more sufficient entry guiding space for the cleaning device, reducing the probability of accidental contact of external foreign matters with the charging contact part, ensuring that the charging part can be docked with the cleaning device at a suitable angle during the turning process of the bracket cover plate, and enhancing the stability and safety of the charging connection.

[0014] In a possible implementation, in the entry direction of the cleaning device, the distance from the pushed part to the rotating shaft is greater than or equal to the distance from the charging part to the rotating shaft.

[0015] By setting the distance from the pushed part to the rotating shaft to be greater than or equal to the distance from the charging part to the rotating shaft, the cleaning device can generate a greater torque when pushing against the pushed part, so that the bracket cover plate can be smoothly turned with a smaller driving force, thereby reducing the driving force required for the cleaning device to enter and improving the system efficiency and motion reliability. The lever structure design optimizes the transmission efficiency, ensures that the switching process of the bracket cover plate from the initial position to the charging position is more stable and controllable, and at the same time, the displacement of the charging part is accurately constrained, further improving the positioning accuracy and repeatability of the charging docking, and reducing the wear deviation in long-term use.

[0016] In a possible implementation, the base station further includes a reset member; wherein the reset member is arranged between the bracket cover plate and the base, and the reset member is used at least to drive the bracket cover plate to switch from the charging position to the initial position during the process in which the cleaning device moves out of the accommodation space.

[0017] The reset member is arranged to enable the bracket cover plate to automatically return from the charging position to the initial position when the cleaning device moves out of the containing space, to realize the automatic reset function of the bracket cover plate, to ensure that the base station is always in standby state, and to improve the continuity and automation of the device use. The arrangement of the reset member effectively avoids the abnormal position of the bracket cover plate due to manual operation negligence or mechanical failure, ensures that the bracket cover plate can normally contact the pushed part and trigger the rotating action every time the cleaning device enters the station, and significantly improves the reliability and stability of the bracket cover plate work. The structure design enables the charging part to automatically retract into the containing space in the non-charging state, which can reduce the time of the charging interface exposed to the external environment, effectively prevent dust, liquid and other foreign matters from polluting, prevent accidental damage of the mechanical structure, and prolong the service life of the bracket cover plate. The reset member adopts a mechanical automatic reset mode, does not need an additional power source and a complex control program, can simplify the structure of the base station, and reduce the cost.

[0018] In a possible implementation, the reset member includes a first elastic member; the first elastic member is arranged to be compressed between the pushed part and the base, and is used to bias the pushed part towards the containing space.

[0019] By adopting the first elastic member as the reset member and arranging it to be compressed between the pushed part and the base, the working principle of converting elastic potential energy into mechanical kinetic energy is used to provide stable and reliable automatic reset for the bracket cover plate to ensure the motion consistency and reliability of the bracket cover plate returning from the charging position to the initial position. The design that the first elastic member continuously biases the pushed part towards the containing space enables the bracket cover plate to maintain a stable pre-tightening state when in the initial position, which can trigger the rotating response in time when the cleaning device enters the station and quickly eliminate the mechanical gap after the cleaning device moves out, to effectively prevent the bracket cover plate from drifting or shaking. In addition, the elastic reset structure has the advantages of rapid response, no external power source, and simple and compact structure.

[0020] In a possible implementation, the reset member includes a second elastic member; the second elastic member is arranged between the charging part and the base; and at least when the bracket cover plate is in the charging position, the second elastic member is in a stretched state.

[0021] By arranging the second elastic member between the charging part and the base, and arranging the second elastic member in a stretched state when the support cover plate is in the charging position, the elastic restoring force is used to provide a driving force for the support cover plate to reset towards the initial position, thereby enhancing the reliability and stability of the reset action, and ensuring that the support cover plate can quickly and accurately return to the initial standby position after the cleaning equipment moves out. The second elastic member cooperates with the first elastic member to form a bidirectional elastic reset mechanism: the first elastic member provides a reset force by compression energy storage, and the second elastic member provides an additional reset force by stretching energy storage, thereby significantly improving the reset effect, effectively preventing reset failure caused by fatigue or failure of a single elastic member, and improving the redundancy and reliability of the reset member.

[0022] In a possible implementation, the pushed part includes a protruding structure protruding towards the accommodation space; and an arc-shaped surface of the protruding structure facing the cleaning equipment is convex towards the cleaning equipment.

[0023] By arranging the pushed part as a protruding structure protruding towards the accommodation space, and forming an arc-shaped curved surface on the surface facing the cleaning equipment, the contact area with the cleaning equipment is significantly increased, the pushing process is more stable and smooth, and the local stress concentration phenomenon is effectively reduced, thereby reducing the risk of mechanism wear and tear. The design of the convex surface of the arc-shaped surface facing the cleaning equipment enables the cleaning equipment to naturally slide into the accommodation space along a tangent direction and form an optimal contact angle with the pushed part during the in-station process, thereby not only reducing the in-station resistance, but also avoiding possible mechanical jamming, and improving the guidance and fault tolerance of the cleaning equipment during the in-station process.

[0024] In a possible implementation, the surface of the pushed part in contact with the cleaning equipment is provided with a roller.

[0025] By arranging the roller on the surface of the pushed part in contact with the cleaning equipment, the sliding friction is converted into rolling friction, thereby significantly reducing the frictional resistance when the cleaning equipment pushes against the pushed part, making the rotation of the support cover plate more labor-saving and smooth, reducing energy loss and equipment wear and tear, and improving the mechanical efficiency and durability of the system. The roller structure changes the contact between the cleaning equipment and the pushed part into rolling contact, effectively avoiding possible scratching during the pushing process, thereby protecting the appearance of the cleaning equipment, reducing the operating noise, and improving the product use experience and quality.

[0026] In a possible implementation, the pushed part includes a first magnetic member; the cleaning equipment is provided with a second magnetic member that repels the first magnetic member; and during the process in which the cleaning equipment enters the accommodation space, the second magnetic member repels the first magnetic member, and the pushed part moves away from the accommodation space, so that the support cover plate is switched from the initial position to the charging position.

[0027] By setting the pushed part to include the first magnetic member, and setting the magnetic repulsion between the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member on the cleaning device, a non-contact driving mode is realized, so that the cleaning device can be driven to move by magnetic repulsion when entering the containing space. Thus, friction loss and structural collision caused by mechanical contact can be avoided, and wear of the pushed part is reduced. The magnetic driving mechanism makes the switching action of the bracket cover plate smoother, eliminates the common problems of jamming, vibration and noise in traditional mechanical contact driving, and has self-adaptive distance characteristics, which can automatically compensate for different inbound position deviations, greatly improving the fault tolerance and user experience of the inbound process.

[0028] In a possible implementation, the containing space includes a first side wall and a second side wall arranged opposite along the width direction; the number of bracket cover plates is two, and one bracket cover plate is arranged on each of the first side wall and the second side wall; the charging part includes a positive contact piece, a negative contact piece and a signal contact piece; one of the positive contact piece and the negative contact piece is arranged on the bracket cover plate on the first side wall; and the other of the positive contact piece and the negative contact piece and the signal contact piece are arranged on the bracket cover plate on the second side wall.

[0029] By arranging the bracket cover plates on the first side wall and the second side wall of the containing space opposite to each other, and using a distributed contact piece layout scheme, the positive contact piece, the negative contact piece and the signal contact piece are arranged on the two bracket cover plates, so that a symmetrical and balanced design of the charging interface is realized, and the docking stability and electrical connection reliability of the cleaning device during charging are significantly improved. The distributed layout effectively reduces the structural complexity of a single bracket cover plate, so that each bracket cover plate only needs to carry part of the contact pieces, which simplifies the mechanical structure and movement load of a single bracket cover plate, optimizes the arrangement space of the contact pieces, provides more sufficient installation area and heat dissipation conditions for each contact piece, and improves the electrical safety performance.

[0030] By arranging the signal contact piece and one of the power contact pieces on the bracket cover plate on the same side wall, the relative independence of the signal transmission path and the power path is ensured, the influence of electromagnetic interference on the signal quality is reduced, and the modularity design and maintenance of the contact pieces are facilitated, which improves the manufacturability and serviceability of the product. The symmetrical driving of the two bracket cover plates enables the cleaning device to obtain balanced guidance and support from both sides during the inbound process, avoids the jamming or deflection problem caused by unilateral force, further improves the smoothness and positioning accuracy of the cleaning device during the inbound process, and ensures the accuracy and consistency of the charging connection.

[0031] The second aspect of the embodiment of the present application provides a cleaning system, comprising a cleaning device and the base station of any one of the first aspect; the cleaning device comprises a charging port and a pushing part, and in the process of entering the containing space, the pushing part drives the pushing part to move away from the containing space, so that the charging part moves towards the charging port and is connected with the charging port.

[0051] In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are some but not all of the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0052] With the rapid development of smart home and cleaning automation technology, the functions of floor cleaning devices have developed from single dust collection to integration of multiple functions such as dust collection, mopping, self-cleaning, etc. However, the function superposition inevitably leads to a significant increase in the weight of the cleaning device, which brings new challenges to users. Especially after the cleaning operation is completed, the user needs to pull the cleaning device to the charging base or storage position, and the heavy body brings great inconvenience and burden to the user, especially to the elderly or the weak.

[0053] To solve this problem, the "push machine into the station" function emerges as the times require, and the user only needs to push the cleaning device into the base station to complete the charging or cleaning, without the need to pull the device, greatly improving the user experience. However, in the actual application process, the base station and the cleaning device in the related art still have the problem of poor experience when charging.

[0054] In view of the above technical problems, the application provides a base station and a cleaning system. The base station is provided with a rotatable support cover plate structure, and the automatic alignment and connection of the charging interface are realized by using the lever principle. Specifically, the support cover plate is designed to separate the push receiving part from the charging part, and the two parts are connected by a shaft to form a lever mechanism. When the cleaning device is pushed into the base station, the push receiving part is first contacted, and the charging part is driven to move to the charging port direction of the cleaning device by the lever action, thereby completing the precise docking. The burden of the user lifting the cleaning device into the station is reduced, and the user experience is improved.

[0055] The technical solutions of the application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and multiple embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are only used to illustrate the application and do not limit the scope of the application.

Figure 2 A structural schematic diagram of a base station provided by an embodiment of the application. Figure 3 A structural schematic diagram of a base station provided by an embodiment of the application. Figure 2 An enlarged schematic diagram of the base station at A in FIG. 1. Figure 4 A partial structural schematic diagram of a cleaning device in a cleaning system provided by an embodiment of the application. Figure 4 Only a floor brush assembly of the cleaning device is shown in FIG. 2.

[0057] It should be noted that, for convenience of description, in the embodiments of the application, the height direction of the base station is regarded as the z direction, the in-station direction of the cleaning device is regarded as the x direction, and the width direction of the accommodation space is regarded as the y direction.

[0058] As shown in FIG. 1, Figure 1 An embodiment of the application provides a cleaning system 1000, which includes a cleaning device 200 and a base station 100. The base station 100 can be used to clean the floor brush of the cleaning device 200 and charge the cleaning device.

[0059] It should be noted that the cleaning device 200 in the embodiments of the application includes but is not limited to a floor cleaning machine, a dust collector, a sweeping robot, etc. In the embodiments of the application, the specific type of the cleaning device 200 is not limited further.

[0060] An embodiment of the application provides a base station 100, as shown in FIG. 1, Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the base station 100 can include a base 110 and a bracket cover plate 120. The base 110 can include a receiving space 111, and an opening 112 is arranged on one side of the receiving space 111, and the opening 112 is used for the cleaning device 200 to enter the receiving space 111. The bracket cover plate 120 is arranged on at least one inner wall on either side of the opening of the receiving space 111, and the bracket cover plate 120 is rotationally connected to the base 110 through a rotating shaft 130, and the bracket cover plate 120 can rotate around the rotating shaft 130.

[0061] In the embodiment of the present application, the side where the opening 112 of the receiving space 111 is arranged is defined as the front side of the base 110. That is, the cleaning device 200 can enter the receiving space 111 from the front side of the base 110. The receiving space 111 can generally be a groove structure with a certain depth to accommodate the floor brush and other structures of the cleaning device 200. In the embodiment of the present application, the shape of the receiving space 111 is not limited further.

[0062] Continuing to refer to Figure 2 As shown, the receiving space 111 can include a first side wall 113 and a second side wall 114 arranged opposite in the width direction (y direction). The first side wall 113 and the second side wall 114 are arranged on both sides of the opening 112 in the y direction, and a rear wall 115 is arranged at the end of the first side wall 113 and the second side wall 114 away from the opening 112 in the x direction, so that the first side wall 113, the rear wall 115 and the second side wall 114 form a receiving space 111 with an opening 112. The bottom of the receiving space 111 is a bottom plate 116 of the base 110. The bracket cover plate 120 is arranged on one or more of the first side wall 113, the second side wall 114 and the bottom plate 116.

[0063] In addition, the number of bracket cover plates 120 can be one, two or more, and in the embodiment of the present application, the number of bracket cover plates 120 is not limited further.

[0064] In the following, the number of bracket cover plates 120 is taken as two, and the bracket cover plates 120 are arranged on the first side wall 113 and the second side wall 114 respectively as an example for description.

[0065] As shown, Figure 3 As shown, the bracket cover plate 120 can include a pushed part 121 and a charging part 122 arranged at intervals in the entry direction (x direction) of the cleaning device 200, and the rotating shaft 130 is located between the pushed part 121 and the charging part 122. The bracket cover plate 120 can include an initial position and a charging position, and when the bracket cover plate 120 is switched from the initial position to the charging position, the pushed part 121 moves away from the receiving space 111, and the charging part 122 moves towards the receiving space 111.

[0066] Referring to Figure 4As shown, the cleaning device 200 can include a charging port 220 and a pushing part 210, during the process of entering the accommodation space 111 on the base station 100, the pushing part 210 drives the pushed part 121 to move away from the accommodation space 111, so that the charging part 122 moves to the direction close to the charging port 220 and is connected with the charging port 220.

[0067] During the process of entering the accommodation space 111, the cleaning device 200 first contacts with the pushed part 121, and then the bracket cover plate 120 is switched from the initial position to the charging position by the pushed part 121, so as to connect the charging part 122 with the charging port 220 of the cleaning device 200.

[0068] It should be noted that, Figure 3 The bracket cover plate 120 shown in FIG. 1 is in the initial position, Figure 5 The bracket cover plate 120 shown in FIG. 2 is in the charging position. By Figures 3 to 5 The position of the bracket cover plate 120 from the initial position to the charging position. During this process, the charging part 122 moves to the center position close to the accommodation space 111, and the pushed part 121 moves away from the accommodation space 111.

[0069] Exemplarily, the axial direction of the rotating shaft 130 can be arranged along the z direction, so that the rotation of the bracket cover plate 120 driven by the cleaning device 200 is more smooth and prevents jamming.

[0070] In the prior art, most of the cleaning device base stations are surrounded without openings. After the user finishes using the cleaning device, the user needs to lift the cleaning device and then place it on the base station for charging, self-cleaning, drying and other procedures. Since the current cleaning device is heavy, it takes a lot of effort to lift the cleaning device, which makes the user's experience unsatisfactory.

[0071] The base station 100 provided by the embodiment of the present application sets an opening 112 on one side of the accommodation space 111, which is used for the cleaning device 200 to enter the accommodation space 111. After the user finishes cleaning, the user can directly push the cleaning device 200 into the base station 100 through a smaller force, without the need to lift the cleaning device 200, which can significantly improve the user's experience.

[0072] In the second aspect, most of the current push-in station cleaning devices usually set the charging terminal on the bottom of the machine body instead of the floor brush, and correspondingly need to set a "charging pile" on the base station, so that the "charging pile" is higher than the ground plate on the base station for accommodating the floor brush, to contact the charging terminal on the cleaning device. This design greatly limits the design space of the base station and increases the design complexity and cost. The bracket cover plate 120 is arranged on at least one inner wall of the opening 112 on both sides of the accommodation space 111, so that the design of the base station 100 is more simple, and the position of the "charging pile" is omitted, which can reserve design space for the design of other components such as the water tank of the base station 100.

[0073] In the third aspect, some of the current push-in station floor cleaning machines design the charging terminal on the side wall of the base station. Some designs a recess on the ground of the base station for accommodating the rear wheel of the cleaning device, and a protrusion is designed in the recess. The protrusion is linked with the charging terminal on the side wall. In the initial state, the protrusion protrudes from the recess, and the charging terminal is retracted in the side wall of the base station. When the cleaning device is pushed into the base station, the rear wheel of the floor brush presses down the protrusion, and correspondingly the charging terminal protrudes from the side wall to contact the charging terminal on the cleaning device for charging. Since the movable protrusion needs to be set on the ground of the base station, a corresponding gap needs to be reserved. The gap may be blocked by garbage, causing the protrusion to be stuck and unable to charge. Meanwhile, the prior art also exists that a bracket cover plate including the charging terminal and the guide wheel and movable in the direction parallel to the width of the base station is arranged on the side wall. When the cleaning device is pushed into the base station, the bracket cover plate moves from the initial position to the avoiding position. After the cleaning device is in place, the bracket cover plate moves from the avoiding position to the charging position. In the case that the side surface of the floor brush is flat, since the guide wheel on the bracket cover plate protrudes more from the side wall than the charging terminal, when the bracket cover plate cannot move any more due to the abutment between the end of the guide wheel and the side surface of the floor brush, the charging terminal on the base station has not contacted the charging terminal on the machine body, causing the charging to fail. Therefore, in order to enable the charging terminal on the base station to contact the charging terminal on the machine body, a larger recess needs to be correspondingly arranged on the side surface of the cleaning device to accommodate the guide wheel, which affects the flatness of the side surface of the floor brush and affects the aesthetics, and may also increase the thickness of the side end plate, causing the edge adhesion effect of the cleaning device to be poor.

[0074] The bracket cover plate 120 is rotationally connected with the base 110 through the rotating shaft 130. The bracket cover plate 120 is provided with a receiving portion 121 and a charging portion 122 on both sides of the rotating shaft 130. When the cleaning equipment 200 enters the containing space 111, the pushing portion 210 on the floor brush assembly on the cleaning equipment 200 first contacts the receiving portion 121. Since the receiving portion 121 and the charging portion 122 are located on both sides of the rotating shaft 130, when the receiving portion 121 moves away from the containing space 111 under the extrusion of the floor brush assembly, the charging portion 122 moves towards the containing space 111 correspondingly, so that the bracket cover plate 120 can be automatically driven to switch from the initial position to the charging position.

[0075] Therefore, the base 100 bottom surface is more flat, easy to clean, and not easy to be blocked by garbage on the tire to cause charging failure. At the same time, since the lever principle is used, when the charging terminal on the base 100 (located in the charging portion 122) is connected with the charging terminal on the floor brush assembly (located in the charging port 220), the base 100 side surface is better flat, and the effect of the floor brush edge cleaning is not affected.

[0076] Continuing to refer to Figure 5 As shown, in the entry direction (x direction) of the cleaning equipment 200, the distance L1 from the receiving portion 121 to the rotating shaft 130 is greater than or equal to the distance L2 from the charging portion 122 to the rotating shaft 130.

[0077] It should be noted that, as Figure 3 As shown, the distance L1 from the receiving portion 121 to the rotating shaft 130 refers to the distance from the center position of the receiving portion 121 in the x direction to the center of the rotating shaft 130 when the receiving portion 121 is parallel to the x direction. The distance L2 from the charging portion 122 to the rotating shaft 130 refers to the distance from the center position of the charging portion 122 in the x direction to the center of the rotating shaft 130 when the charging portion 122 is parallel to the x direction.

[0078] By setting the distance L1 from the receiving portion 121 to the rotating shaft 130 to be greater than or equal to the distance L2 from the charging portion 122 to the rotating shaft 130, when the cleaning equipment 200 pushes against the receiving portion 121, a greater torque can be generated, so that the bracket cover plate 120 can be smoothly rotated with a smaller driving force, the driving force required for the cleaning equipment 200 to enter is reduced, and the system energy efficiency and action reliability are improved. The lever structure optimizes the transmission efficiency, ensures that the switching process of the bracket cover plate 120 from the initial position to the charging position is more stable and controllable, and at the same time, the displacement amount of the charging portion 122 is accurately constrained, further improving the positioning accuracy and repeatability of the charging connection, and reducing the wear deviation in long-term use.

[0079] In one possible implementation, in the width direction (y direction) of the accommodation space 111, the top of the pushed part 121 is closer to the middle of the accommodation space 111 than the top of the charging part 122 when the bracket cover plate 120 is in the initial position (see FIG. 11A). Figure 3 and Figure 7 as shown).

[0080] In the width direction (y direction) of the accommodation space 111, the top of the charging part 122 is closer to the middle of the accommodation space 111 than the top of the pushed part 121 when the bracket cover plate 120 is in the charging position (see FIG. 11B). Figure 5 as shown).

[0081] It should be noted that the middle of the accommodation space 111 refers to the geometric center of the accommodation space 111. Therefore, when the bracket cover plate 120 is in the initial position, the pushed part 121 protrudes in the y direction from the first side wall 113 or the second side wall 114 by a larger size. That is, when the cleaning device 200 enters the station, it can first contact the pushed part 121.

[0082] By making the top of the pushed part 121 closer to the middle of the accommodation space 111 than the top of the charging part 122 in the initial position, the contact guiding path when the cleaning device 200 enters the station is optimized, ensuring that the cleaning device 200 can preferentially and reliably contact and push the pushed part 121, thereby significantly improving the success rate of triggering the rotating action of the bracket cover plate 120 and the responsiveness.

[0083] By making the top of the charging part 122 closer to the middle of the accommodation space 111 than the top of the pushed part 121 when the bracket cover plate 120 is in the charging position, the charging part 122 can protrude from the initial position, which can more conveniently connect with the charging port 220 of the cleaning device 200.

[0084] In addition, this can make the charging port 220 of the floor brush assembly of the cleaning device 200 not need to protrude outward, so that the docking charging can be realized. Thus, the flatness of the side of the floor brush assembly is better, and the effect of the floor brush edge cleaning is not affected.

[0085] This height difference design forms a pushed part 121 first contact mechanism in the space layout, so that the cleaning device 200 can start the rotating process of the bracket cover plate 120 before completely entering the accommodation space 111, realizing the preposition of the charging docking preparation stage, effectively shortening the waiting time of the entire charging process, and improving the system working efficiency.

[0086] The structure arrangement makes the charging part 122 in the initial position in a relatively raised hidden state, provides more sufficient inbound guiding space for the cleaning device 200, reduces the probability of accidental contact of external foreign matters with the charging contact part, ensures that the charging part 122 can be docked with the cleaning device 200 at a suitable angle during the rotation of the support cover plate 120, and enhances the stability and safety of the charging connection.

[0087] In combination Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown in FIGS. 1, 2 and 3, the number of support cover plates 120 can be two, and one support cover plate 120 is arranged on each of the first side wall 113 and the second side wall 114. The charging part 122 can include a positive contact sheet 1221, a negative contact sheet 1222 and a signal contact sheet 1223. One of the positive contact sheet 1221 and the negative contact sheet 1222 is arranged on the support cover plate 120 located on the first side wall 113. The other one of the positive contact sheet 1221 and the negative contact sheet 1222 and the signal contact sheet 1223 are arranged on the support cover plate 120 located on the second side wall 114.

[0088] For example, the positive contact sheet 1221 and the signal contact sheet 1223 are arranged on the support cover plate 120 located on the first side wall 113. The negative contact sheet 1222 is arranged on the support cover plate 120 located on the second side wall 114. Of course, other arrangements can also be used.

[0089] By arranging the support cover plates 120 on the first side wall 113 and the second side wall 114 respectively opposite to the accommodation space 111, and using a distributed contact sheet layout scheme, the positive contact sheet 1221, the negative contact sheet 1222 and the signal contact sheet 1223 are arranged on the two support cover plates 120 respectively, which realizes the symmetrical and balanced design of the charging interface, significantly improves the docking stability and electrical connection reliability when the cleaning device 200 is charged. The distributed layout effectively reduces the structural complexity of the single support cover plate 120, so that each support cover plate 120 only needs to bear part of the contact sheets, which simplifies the mechanical structure and movement load of the single support cover plate 120, optimizes the arrangement space of the contact sheets, provides more sufficient installation area and heat dissipation conditions for each contact sheet, and improves the electrical safety performance.

[0090] By arranging the signal contact piece 1223 and one of the power contact pieces (the positive contact piece 1221 or the negative contact piece 1222) on the same side wall of the bracket cover plate 120, the relative independence of the signal transmission path and the power supply path is ensured, the influence of electromagnetic interference on the signal quality is reduced, and the modular design and maintenance of the contact pieces are facilitated, thereby improving the manufacturability and serviceability of the product. The symmetrical driving mode of the double-bracket cover plate 120 enables the cleaning device 200 to obtain balanced guidance and support from both sides during the inbound process, avoids the jamming or skewing problem caused by unilateral force, and further improves the smoothness and positioning accuracy of the cleaning device 200 during the inbound process, thereby ensuring the accuracy and consistency of the charging connection.

[0091] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 7 The base station 100 can further include a reset member 140. The reset member 140 is arranged between the bracket cover plate 120 and the base 110, and is used to drive the bracket cover plate 120 to switch from the charging position to the initial position during the process of moving the cleaning device 200 out of the containing space 111.

[0092] As shown in Figure 7 The base 110 is provided with a mounting space 117. For example, the mounting space 117 can be a groove structure formed on the side wall of the base 110. Specifically, the groove structure can be formed on the side of the first side wall 113 and the second side wall 114 inside the containing space 111, and the groove structure is recessed towards the direction away from the center of the containing space 111. The bracket cover plate 120 is rotatably arranged in the groove structure through the rotating shaft 130.

[0093] The reset member 140 can be arranged in the mounting space 117. In the y direction, one end of the reset member 140 is fixedly connected with the groove bottom of the groove structure, and the other end is fixedly connected with the side of the bracket cover plate 120 away from the containing space 111.

[0094] It should be noted that a limiting structure (not shown in the figure) can be arranged in the mounting space 117. The limiting structure can be limitingly connected with one end of the push arrangement part 121 of the bracket cover plate 120, and is used to limit the dimension of the one end of the push arrangement part 121 of the bracket cover plate 120 protruding towards the center of the containing space 111 to be not more than the initial position.

[0095] For example, the limiting structure can be a baffle structure located outside the bracket cover plate 120. In the y direction, the baffle structure can be arranged outside the one end of the push arrangement part 121 of the bracket cover plate 120. So as to prevent the one end of the push arrangement part 121 of the bracket cover plate 120 from protruding too much from the first side wall 113 or the second side wall 114 of the base 110 when the cleaning device 200 is not pushed into the containing space 111.

[0096] In some other embodiments, the limiting structure can also be a guide rail arranged on the top wall or the bottom wall of the mounting space 117, and the part of the bracket cover plate 120 where the pushed part 121 is arranged is provided with a protruding structure corresponding to the guide rail, and the protruding structure is arranged in the guide rail. When the bracket cover plate 120 moves between the initial position and the charging position, the protruding structure moves in the guide rail.

[0097] Of course, the limiting structure can also be other structures, and in the embodiments of the present application, the specific structure of the limiting structure is not limited further.

[0098] Of course, in some embodiments, the limiting structure can also not be arranged, and in the embodiments of the present application, whether the limiting structure is arranged or not is not limited further.

[0099] By arranging the reset member 140, the bracket cover plate 120 can automatically return to the initial position from the charging position when the cleaning device 200 moves out of the containing space 111, so as to realize the automatic reset function of the bracket cover plate 120, ensure that the base station 100 is always in standby state, and improve the continuity and automation degree of device use. The arrangement of the reset member 140 effectively avoids the abnormal position of the bracket cover plate 120 due to manual operation negligence or mechanical failure, ensures that the bracket cover plate 120 can normally contact and trigger the rotating action every time the cleaning device 200 enters the station, and significantly improves the reliability and stability of the work of the bracket cover plate 120.

[0100] The structure design enables the charging part 122 to automatically retract into the containing space 111 in the non-charging state, which can reduce the time of exposing the charging interface to the external environment, effectively prevent the pollution of dust, liquid and other foreign matters, prevent accidental damage of the mechanical structure, and prolong the service life of the bracket cover plate 120. The reset member 140 adopts a mechanical automatic reset mode, does not need an additional power source and a complex control program, can simplify the structure of the base station 100, and reduce the cost.

[0101] In a possible implementation manner, as shown in Figure 7 The reset member 140 can include a first elastic member 141. The first elastic member 141 can be arranged in compression between the pushed part 121 and the base 110, and the first elastic member 141 is used to bias the pushed part 121 towards the containing space 111.

[0102] In the process of converting the bracket cover plate 120 from the initial position to the charging position, the pushed part 121 moves away from the containing space 111, and the first elastic member 141 is further compressed. When the bracket cover plate 120 is converted from the charging position to the initial position, the first elastic member 141 drives the pushed part 121 to move towards the center of the containing space 111 under the action of its restoring force, so as to restore the bracket cover plate 120 to the initial position.

[0103] In the embodiment of the present application, the first elastic member 141 can be a spring structure. Of course, in other embodiments, the first elastic member 141 can also be a clasp, a spring piece, a gas cylinder, etc.

[0104] In the embodiment of the present application, the specific structure of the first elastic member 141 is not limited further, as long as it can restore the original shape.

[0105] It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present application, "towards" refers to a broad sense of direction, not limited to a front surface opposite arrangement.

[0106] By adopting the first elastic member 141 as the reset member 140 and compressing it between the pushed part 121 and the base 110, the working principle of converting elastic potential energy into mechanical kinetic energy is used to provide stable and reliable automatic reset for the bracket cover plate 120 to ensure the action consistency and reliability of the bracket cover plate 120 returning to the initial position from the charging position.

[0107] The design of the first elastic member 141 continuously biasing the pushed part 121 towards the containing space 111 makes the bracket cover plate 120 maintain a stable pre-tightening state in the initial position, which can timely trigger the rotation response when the cleaning equipment 200 enters the station, quickly eliminate the mechanical gap after the cleaning equipment 200 moves out, and effectively prevent the bracket cover plate 120 from drifting or shaking. In addition, the elastic reset structure has the advantages of rapid response, no need for external power source, and simple and compact structure.

[0108] Of course, in other embodiments, when the bracket cover plate 120 is in the initial position, the first elastic member 141 can be in a natural state, and when the pushed part 121 is pressed, the first elastic member 141 is in a compressed state.

[0109] In some other embodiments, as shown in Figure 8 The reset member 140 can include a first elastic member 141 and a second elastic member 142. The first elastic member 141 is arranged between the pushed part 121 and the base 110, and the second elastic member 142 is arranged between the charging part 122 and the base 110. At least when the bracket cover plate 120 is in the charging position, the first elastic member 141 is in a stretched state, and the second elastic member 142 is in a stretched state.

[0110] Exemplarily, when the bracket cover plate 120 is in the initial position, the first elastic member 141 and the second elastic member 142 can not be stressed. That is, the first elastic member 141 and the second elastic member 142 are in a natural state.

[0111] During the process of the bracket cover plate 120 being converted from the initial position to the charging position, the pushed part 121 moves away from the containing space 111, the first elastic member 141 is compressed, the charging part 122 moves towards the center of the containing space 111, and the second elastic member 142 is stretched.

[0112] During the process of the bracket cover plate 120 being converted from the charging position to the initial position, one end of the bracket cover plate 120 provided with the pushed part 121 moves towards the center of the containing space 111 under the action of the restoring force of the first elastic member 141. One end of the bracket cover plate 120 provided with the charging part 122 moves away from the center of the containing space 111 under the action of the restoring force of the second elastic member 142. When the bracket cover plate 120 returns to the initial position, the first elastic member 141 and the second elastic member 142 also return to the initial position.

[0113] Of course, in other embodiments, when the bracket cover plate 120 is in the initial position, the first elastic member 141 can be in a compressed state. Of course, in such embodiments, a limiting structure is needed to maintain the stability of the bracket cover plate 120.

[0114] By arranging the second elastic member 142 between the charging part 122 and the base 110 and making it be in a stretched state when the bracket cover plate 120 is in the charging position, the elastic restoring force is used to provide a driving force for the bracket cover plate 120 to return to the initial position, which enhances the reliability and stability of the return action and ensures that the bracket cover plate 120 can quickly and accurately return to the initial standby position after the cleaning equipment 200 moves out. The second elastic member 142 cooperates with the first elastic member 141 to form a bidirectional elastic return mechanism: the first elastic member 141 provides a return force by compression energy storage, and the second elastic member 142 provides an additional return force by stretching energy storage, which significantly improves the return effect, effectively prevents return failure caused by fatigue or failure of a single elastic member, and improves the redundancy and reliability of the return member 140.

[0115] In a possible implementation, the pushed part 121 can include a protruding structure protruding towards the containing space 111. The protruding structure is arc-shaped on the side facing the cleaning equipment 200, and the convex surface of the arc-shaped surface faces the cleaning equipment 200.

[0116] By setting the pushed part 121 as a protruding structure protruding towards the accommodation space 111, and forming an arc-shaped curved surface on the side facing the cleaning device 200, the contact area with the cleaning device 200 is significantly increased, making the pushing process more smooth and smooth, effectively reducing the local stress concentration phenomenon and reducing the risk of mechanism wear and tear. The design of the convex surface of the arc-shaped surface facing the cleaning device 200 enables the cleaning device 200 to naturally slide into the tangential direction during the inbound process and form an optimal contact angle with the pushed part 121, not only reducing the inbound resistance, but also avoiding the possible mechanical jamming phenomenon, improving the guidance and fault tolerance of the cleaning device 200 during the inbound process.

[0117] Of course, in other implementations, the side of the protruding structure facing the cleaning device 200 can be an inclined surface, and the inclination direction of the inclined surface is configured to convert the displacement of the cleaning device 200 in the x direction into the displacement of the pushed part 121 in the y direction. For example, when the cleaning device 200 enters in the x direction, the pushed part 121 moves in the y direction away from the accommodation space 111.

[0118] In a possible implementation, the side of the pushed part 121 in contact with the cleaning device 200 is provided with a roller. For example, the number of rollers can be multiple, and the multiple rollers can be arranged on the side of the pushed part 121 in contact with the cleaning device 200. The rotation axis 130 of the multiple rollers can be parallel to the axial direction of the rotation shaft 130. In the embodiments of the present application, the number of rollers is not limited.

[0119] By providing a roller on the side of the pushed part 121 in contact with the cleaning device 200, the sliding friction is converted into rolling friction, which significantly reduces the frictional resistance when the cleaning device 200 pushes the pushed part 121, making the rotation of the bracket cover plate 120 more labor-saving and smooth, reducing energy loss and equipment wear and tear, and improving the mechanical efficiency and durability of the system. The roller structure changes the contact between the cleaning device 200 and the pushed part 121 to rolling contact, effectively avoiding the scratching phenomenon that may occur during the pushing process, which not only protects the appearance of the cleaning device 200, but also reduces the operating noise, improves the product use experience and quality.

[0120] In other embodiments, the pushed part 121 can also be other structures. For example, Figure 9As shown, the bracket cover plate 120 can include a pushed part 121 and a charging part 122 arranged at intervals along the inbound direction (x direction) of the cleaning device 200, and the rotating shaft 130 is located between the pushed part 121 and the charging part 122. The pushed part 121 can include a first magnetic piece. The cleaning device 200 is provided with a second magnetic piece (not shown in the figure) that repels the first magnetic piece. During the process of the cleaning device 200 entering the containing space 111, the second magnetic piece repels the first magnetic piece, and the pushed part 121 moves away from the containing space 111, so that the bracket cover plate 120 is switched from the initial position to the charging position.

[0121] As shown, Figure 9 The base station 100 can also include a reset piece 140. The reset piece 140 is arranged between the bracket cover plate 120 and the base 110, and is used to drive the bracket cover plate 120 to switch from the charging position to the initial position during the process of the cleaning device 200 moving out of the containing space 111. The base 110 is provided with a mounting space 117 for arranging the bracket cover plate 120.

[0122] For example, the mounting space 117 can be a groove structure opened on the side wall of the base 110. Specifically, the groove structure can be opened on the side of the first side wall 113 and the second side wall 114 inside the containing space 111, and the groove structure is recessed away from the center of the containing space 111. The bracket cover plate 120 is arranged in the groove structure by rotating the rotating shaft 130.

[0123] The reset piece 140 can be arranged in the mounting space 117. In the y direction, one end of the reset piece 140 is fixedly connected with the groove bottom of the groove structure, and the other end is fixedly connected with the side of the bracket cover plate 120 away from the containing space 111. For example, the reset piece 140 can be a spring structure.

[0124] By arranging the pushed part 121 to include the first magnetic piece, and arranging the magnetic repulsion between the first magnetic piece and the second magnetic piece on the cleaning device 200, a non-contact driving mode is realized, so that the cleaning device 200 can drive the pushed part 121 to move by magnetic repulsion when entering the containing space 111. This can avoid friction loss and structural collision caused by mechanical contact, and reduce the wear of the pushed part 121. The magnetic driving mechanism makes the switching action of the bracket cover plate 120 more smooth, eliminates the common problems of jamming, vibration and noise in traditional mechanical contact driving, and has self-adaptive distance characteristics, which can automatically compensate for different inbound position deviations, greatly improving the fault tolerance and user experience of the inbound process.

[0125] It should be noted that, Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9The support cover plates 120 in the first and second embodiments are all in the initial position.

[0126] It should be noted that, Figure 9 The embodiment shown in the first and second embodiments is only the structure of the push part 121 and Figures 1-8 The embodiment shown in the first and second embodiments is only the structure of the push part 121 and Figures 1-8 The embodiment shown in the first and second embodiments is only the structure of the push part 121 and Figures 1-8 The embodiment shown in the first and second embodiments is only the structure of the push part 121 and
