[0019] In the description of the embodiments in this application, the directions or positional relationships of "up", "down", "lateral", and "vertical" are as follows: Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it should be understood that these directional terms are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this application.

[0020] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 One embodiment of this application provides a base for a clothing handling device. The base includes a frame 10 and a reinforcing member 20. The frame 10 has a placement cavity 10a and an inlet / outlet 10b communicating with the placement cavity 10a. The inlet / outlet 10b is formed on one side of the frame 10 along the lateral direction. The reinforcing member 20 is connected to the frame 10 and is located below the inlet / outlet 10b. The placement cavity 10a is used to accommodate a sweeper 1. Specifically, the inlet / outlet 10b is used for the sweeper 1 to enter and exit the placement cavity 10a. That is, the placement cavity 10a can provide storage space for the sweeper 1.

[0021] The base provided in this application embodiment has an inlet / outlet 10b for the sweeper 1 to enter and exit the placement cavity 10a. It is difficult to set a rib extending in the vertical direction at the inlet / outlet 10b, and the structural strength at the inlet / outlet 10b is relatively weak. The reinforcing member 20 is set below the inlet / outlet 10b, so as to avoid the sweeper 1 and prevent the reinforcing member 20 from interfering with the entry and exit of the sweeper 1. The reinforcing member 20 can strengthen the structural strength at the inlet / outlet 10b.

[0022] Another embodiment of this application provides a garment processing device, which includes a garment processing machine and a base as described in any embodiment of this application. The garment processing machine is supported above a frame 10. That is, the base is located below the garment processing machine. The garment processing machine is used to process, for example, washing and / or drying garments.

[0023] The clothing processing device provided in this application embodiment not only provides support for the clothing processing machine, but also has the function of storing the sweeping machine 1. The base provides placement space for the sweeping machine 1, preventing the sweeping machine 1 from occupying additional floor space.

[0024] This application also provides a cleaning system, which includes the clothing handling device and the sweeper 1 in any embodiment of this application. The sweeper 1 can enter and exit the placement cavity 10a through the inlet / outlet 10b.

[0025] The cleaning system provided in this application embodiment includes a clothes handler that can be used to process clothes, such as washing clothes, and a sweeper 1 that can be used to clean the floor. The base provides space for the sweeper 1, so it no longer occupies additional floor space, saving space and providing a good user experience.

[0026] The sweeper 1 is an intelligent sweeper 1. That is to say, the sweeper 1 includes a control unit and a walking structure. The control unit can control the walking structure to move autonomously and the cleaning components to operate autonomously. Taking the walking structure as a roller as an example, the control unit controls the roller to roll, thereby driving the sweeper 1 to move. During the movement of the sweeper 1, the cleaning components can clean the floor.

[0027] Cleaning components are used to contact surfaces to be cleaned, such as the ground, to clean them. The cleaning components can roll, rotate, or slide relative to the ground, etc., so that the cleaning components rub against the surface to be cleaned, thus achieving the purpose of cleaning through friction.

[0028] For example, the cleaning components of the sweeper 1 include, but are not limited to, roller brushes and / or mops, etc.

[0029] In one embodiment, the sweeping robot 1 includes a first communication module, and the clothing handling device includes a second communication module. The sweeping robot 1 and the clothing handling device can communicate with each other through the first and second communication modules. For example, wireless communication can be performed through the first and second communication modules, and the sweeping robot 1 can automatically return to the sweeping robot cavity 30a.

[0030] For example, the first communication module and the second communication module may be one or more of the following wireless data communication modules, including but not limited to Bluetooth module, Wireless Fidelity (WIFI) module, fourth generation or fifth generation (4G / 5G) communication module or infrared module.

[0031] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The frame 10 is made of plastic. The plastic structure of the frame 10 has the advantages of low cost, light weight and rust resistance. In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 6 The reinforcing component 20 is a one-piece molded structure. The reinforcing component 20 has good structural strength.

[0032] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 6 The reinforcing member 20 is a sheet metal structure. Sheet metal structure refers to a structure formed by cold working processes such as stamping, shearing, or bending of metal sheets. In other words, the reinforcing member 20 is a structure formed by cold working processes such as stamping, shearing, or bending of metal sheets. The thickness of the reinforcing member 20 is basically consistent throughout. The reinforcing member 20 uses a sheet metal structure, which has good structural strength and can effectively increase the structural strength at the inlet / outlet 10b.

[0033] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 The base plate 13 of the frame 10 has a notch located below the inlet / outlet 10b, and the reinforcing member 20 is located at the notch. Specifically, the reinforcing member 20 is located in front of the base plate 13. On the one hand, the reinforcing member 20 has good structural strength, and it bears the weight of the sweeper 1 as it enters the inlet / outlet 10b. On the other hand, it avoids the base plate 13 and the reinforcing member 20 from stacking vertically, thus increasing the climbing height of the sweeper 1 when entering the inlet / outlet 10b.

[0034] For example, in some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2The base includes feet 40 located at the bottom of the base plate 13, which are supported on a load-bearing surface such as the ground. The feet 40 are used to support the base. For example, there are four feet 40, each located at one of the four corners of the base plate 13. The feet 40 prevent the base plate 13 from contacting the load-bearing surface such as the ground, thus preventing friction between the base plate 13 and the load-bearing surface such as the ground.

[0035] The structure of the foot 40 is not limited; for example, please refer to some embodiments. Figure 1 Anchor 40 refers to anchor screws.

[0036] The foot 40 separates the base plate 13 from the load-bearing object, such as the ground, thus increasing the distance between the ground and the base plate 13. During the process of the sweeper 1 entering the inlet / outlet 10b, it needs to climb a certain slope. Exemplarily, in one embodiment, the base includes a ramp plate located at the inlet / outlet 10b. One end of the ramp plate abuts against the upper surface of the reinforcement 20, and the other end abuts against the ground. In this way, the sweeper 1 climbs along the upper surface of the ramp plate to enter the inlet / outlet 10b. The greater the slope of the ramp plate, the higher the power requirement for the sweeper 1; the lower the height of the upper surface of the reinforcement 20, and the gentler the slope of the upper surface of the ramp plate, the lower the power requirement for the sweeper 1, and the easier it is for the sweeper 1 to enter the inlet / outlet 10b.

[0037] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 The portion of the reinforcing member 20 located below the inlet / outlet 10b protrudes downwards. This further reduces the height of the portion of the reinforcing member 20 located below the inlet / outlet 10b, thereby further reducing the slope of the ramp.

[0038] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 The reinforcing member 20 includes a load-bearing portion 21 and two connecting portions 22. The two connecting portions 22 are connected to both ends of the load-bearing portion 21 along its longitudinal direction. Both connecting portions 22 are connected to the frame 10. The height of the load-bearing portion 21 is lower than the height of the connecting portions 22, and the load-bearing portion 21 is located below the inlet / outlet 10b. For example, the load-bearing portion 21 and the two connecting portions 22 can be formed by stamping. On the one hand, the load-bearing portion 21 and the connecting portions 22 are not on the same plane, which can enhance the structural strength of the reinforcing member 20. On the other hand, the lower height of the load-bearing portion 21 reduces the slope of the ramp.

[0039] It should be noted that "up" refers to the direction towards the ceiling, and "down" is the opposite of "up." The up and down directions, as well as the vertical and horizontal directions, are perpendicular to each other and together form a three-dimensional vertical coordinate system.

[0040] It is understood that, in some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2The inlet / outlet 10b is located on the front side of the frame 10 along the lateral direction. "Front" refers to the side facing the user. Thus, the lateral direction aligns with the front-to-back direction. In other embodiments, the inlet / outlet 10b may also be located on the left or right side of the frame 10 along the lateral direction. In this case, the lateral direction aligns with the left-to-right direction. The above examples merely illustrate specific application scenarios of the base provided in this application and should not be considered as specific limitations of this application.

[0041] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 5 The portion of the reinforcing member 20 located below the inlet / outlet 10b is recessed laterally inward. In other words, the portion of the reinforcing member 20 located below the inlet / outlet 10b has a clearance opening 20a. For example, the load-bearing portion 21 is recessed laterally inward. Thus, the clearance opening 20a provides clearance space for the ramp plate, allowing it to be positioned relatively inward while maintaining a constant slope, preventing the ramp plate from protruding excessively beyond the frame 10.

[0042] The specific connection method between the connecting part 22 and the frame 10 is not limited; the connecting part 22 can be connected to the frame 10 via the foot 40. For example, in one embodiment, please refer to... Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The connecting part 22 has a connecting hole 22a, and the upper end of the foot 40 passes through the connecting hole 22a and is threadedly connected to the frame 10. In this way, the foot 40 can be installed, and the reinforcing member 20 can be assembled onto the frame 10, achieving a dual purpose, reducing structural components, and saving costs.

[0043] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 4 to 6 The reinforcing member 20 has downward-bent flanges on both sides along the lateral direction. For example, the load-bearing part 21 and the connecting part 22 both have downward-bent flanges on both sides along the lateral direction. On the one hand, the flanges can enhance the structural strength of the reinforcing member 20. On the other hand, the flanges can prevent the burrs of the reinforcing member 20 from scratching the limbs of workers or other structural components.

[0044] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The frame 10 includes a side frame 11, a support frame 12, and a base plate 13. The side frame 11 and the support frame 12 together form a hexahedral structure with openings on all six sides. The base plate 13 covers the bottom openings of the hexahedral structure. Specifically, the top surface and all four peripheral surfaces of the frame 10 have openings. Thus, the frame 10 has a simple structure and is relatively lightweight. The frame 10 provides both support for the clothes handler and space for the robot vacuum cleaner 1.

[0045] In one embodiment, the base includes a top plate covering the top opening of the hexahedral structure. The top plate not only prevents water from the clothes handler from entering the frame 10 through the top opening and affecting the performance of the electronic components in the sweeper 1 and / or the base, but also strengthens the structural strength of the frame 10.

[0046] The top plate and frame 10 can be connected by connectors. Connectors include, but are not limited to, screws, bolts, or rivets.

[0047] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The base includes a base 30 with a sweeper cavity 30a, a frame 11, a support frame 12, and a base plate 13, which together form a placement cavity 10a, in which the base 30 is located. In other words, the hexahedral structure has a placement cavity 10a, and the base 30 is located within it. This facilitates the placement of other structural components within the placement cavity 10a, and the sweeper 1 and other structural components can be separated by the base 30, improving safety.

[0048] In one embodiment, the frame 11, support frame 12, and base plate 13 are integrally formed. This design not only reduces the assembly steps between the frame 11, support frame 12, and base plate 13, saving assembly processes and improving production efficiency, but also improves the structural strength of the frame 10.

[0049] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The base includes connectors. The frame 11 and support frame 12 are independent structures, while the support frame 12 and base plate 13 are integrally formed. The frame 11 and support frame 12 are connected by connectors. Specifically, the independent structure of the frame 11 and support frame 12 means that they are manufactured independently. This reduces design complexity, such as the difficulty of designing the mold for the frame 10. Furthermore, manufacturing the frame 11 and support frame 12 independently facilitates the placement of the base 30 into the placement cavity 10a, reducing the difficulty of installing the base 30. For example, the base 30 can be placed on the base plate 13 first, and then the frame 11 and support frame 12 can be connected by connectors.

[0050] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 3The support frame 12 has three connecting surfaces 12a, which face horizontally, vertically, and upward, respectively. The frame 11 includes three mutually perpendicular pillars 111, with one end of each pillar 111 connected to the other along its length, and the other end of each pillar 111 connected to the three connecting surfaces 12a, thus forming a hexahedral structure. Specifically, there is a mounting opening 12c between the three connecting surfaces 12a, and the frame 11 is located at the mounting opening 12c. The mounting opening 12c makes the support frame 12 more open; for example, the base 30 can be placed onto the base plate 13 from the mounting opening 12c without the support frame 12 interfering with the installation of the base 30, making the installation operation more convenient.

[0051] As an example, in one embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The three pillars 111 are a first pillar 111a arranged longitudinally, a second pillar 111b arranged laterally, and a third pillar 111c arranged vertically. The longitudinal end of the first pillar 111a, the lateral end of the second pillar 111b, and the upper end of the third pillar 111c are connected to each other. The three mounting surfaces are a first connecting surface 12a' facing the first pillar 111a, a second connecting surface 12a'' facing the second pillar 111b, and a third connecting surface 12a''' facing the third pillar 111c. The other longitudinal end of the first pillar 111a is connected to the first connecting surface 12a', the other lateral end of the second pillar 111b is connected to the second connecting surface 12a'', and the lower end of the third pillar 111c is connected to the third connecting surface 12a'''. In this way, the frame 11 and the support frame 12 constitute a hexahedral structure with openings on all six sides.

[0052] As an example, in one embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The base includes a base 30 with a sweeper cavity 30a, a frame 11, a support frame 12, and a base plate 13, which together form a placement cavity 10a. The support frame 12 forms a dustbin cavity 12b. The placement cavity 10a and the dustbin cavity 12b are arranged longitudinally, with the base 30 located in the placement cavity 10a. The frame 11 and the base 30 are located on the same side of the dustbin cavity 12b in the transverse direction. The dustbin cavity 12b is used to accommodate the dustbin, meaning the base can provide dust removal functionality for the sweeper 1. On one hand, with the frame 11 and the base 30 on the same side of the dustbin cavity 12b in the transverse direction, the support frame 12 provides more space for assembling the base 30, allowing the base 30 to be smoothly placed into the support frame 12 before the frame 11 is assembled onto the support frame 12. On the other hand, arranging the dustbin cavity 12b and the base 30 side-by-side in the transverse direction helps reduce the vertical dimensions of the base, resulting in a flattened design that facilitates integration of the base under the garment cleaner.

[0053] In one embodiment, the base includes a dust collection motor, a dust collection pipe, and a dust box located in the dust box cavity 12b. The base 30 has a dust collection port, and the dust collection pipe connects the dust collection port and the dust collection cavity of the dust box. The dust collection motor is used to generate negative pressure in the dust collection cavity. When the dust collection motor is running, the dust collection cavity generates negative pressure, thereby making the dust collection pipe and dust collection port a negative pressure environment. Impurities in the dust storage space of the sweeper 1 are sucked into the dust collection cavity under the action of negative pressure, thereby realizing automatic dust removal of the sweeper 1 without the need for manual dust removal by the user.

[0054] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The base plate 13 of the frame 10 protrudes downwards in a portion to form a recessed platform 13a, which is located at the inlet / outlet 10b. Since the structure of the base plate 13 near the inlet / outlet 10b is relatively weak, the recessed platform 13a strengthens the structural strength of this area. The low height of the recessed platform 13a also facilitates the robot's entry and exit from the sweeper cavity 30a.

[0055] In one embodiment, the height of the load-bearing part 21 is flush with the height of the platform 13a. This facilitates the arrangement of the base 30 and the ramp plate. The connection between the base 30 and the ramp plate is at the same height, so that the sweeper 1 can smoothly enter the sweeper cavity 30a through the inlet and outlet 10b, avoiding jamming or large-scale shaking.

[0056] For example, in one embodiment, the longitudinal dimension of the recessed platform 13a is not less than the longitudinal dimension of the inlet / outlet 10b. Thus, the longitudinal dimension of the recessed platform 13a can be relatively large.

[0057] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 The base 30 is located above the recessed platform 13a. This reduces the height of the base 30 to some extent, which not only facilitates the installation of other structural components above the base 30, but also makes the entire base more flat.

[0058] For example, the base can also be used to provide functions such as cleaning, charging and / or drying for the robot vacuum cleaner 1.

[0059] In one embodiment, the base 30 forms a cleaning tank communicating with the sweeper cavity 30a. The cleaning tank is used to clean the cleaning components of the sweeper 1. By using the water in the cleaning tank to clean the cleaning components, the components are made cleaner, eliminating the need for manual cleaning by the user and providing a better user experience.

[0060] In one embodiment, the base includes a water inlet valve and a water inlet path. The water inlet path is connected to the washing tank, and the water inlet valve is located on the water inlet path. The water inlet path is used to supply water to the washing tank. The water inlet valve is used to open or close the water inlet path. Thus, the opening and closing of the water inlet valve can be controlled by a controller to achieve automatic water intake to the washing tank. The water flow in the washing tank can be independently controlled by the water inlet valve, unaffected by the water usage of the clothes handler; only the water inlet valve needs to be powered on. Therefore, even if the clothes handler is not powered on or not operating, the water inlet valve can still operate independently. Similarly, the water flow in the clothes handler can be independently controlled, unaffected by the water usage of the base 2.

[0061] In one embodiment, the water inlet is connected to a tap water pipe. This allows the tap water pipe to continuously supply water to the cleaning tank, saving on the use of structures such as water tanks for supplying water to the cleaning tank.

[0062] In one embodiment, the base includes a sewage discharge path and a drain pump. The sewage discharge path connects the cleaning tank and a floor drain, and the drain pump is located on the sewage discharge path to pump sewage from the cleaning tank to the floor drain. This allows the drain pump to be started and stopped by a controller, enabling automatic sewage discharge from the cleaning tank.

[0063] For example, the wastewater drain and the drain pipe of the clothes processor can be connected by a T-junction to share a floor drain. That is, the washing water from the clothes processor and the rinsing water from the washing tank can both be discharged into the sewer through the same floor drain, eliminating the need for separate floor drains for washing water and rinsing water, thus saving structural components.

[0064] In one embodiment, the base includes a charging terminal and a power module 50 electrically connected to the charging terminal. The charging terminal is disposed on the peripheral side of the base 30, and the power module 50 is located in the placement cavity 10a. For example, the power module 50 may be located above the dustbin cavity 12b. When the sweeper 1 is located in the sweeper cavity 30a, the sweeper 1 can be electrically connected to the charging terminal to achieve charging. The power module 50 is used to convert AC power from the mains to DC power, and the charging terminal uses DC power to charge the sweeper 1.

[0065] In one embodiment, the base includes a controller disposed in the placement cavity 10a. The controller is used for the electrical control of electrical components that cooperate with the sweeper 1, such as a water inlet valve and a dispensing pump. On the one hand, the electrical components that cooperate with the sweeper 1 can be controlled independently, unaffected by the clothing handling electrical components; only the controller needs to be connected to a power source. Thus, even if the clothing handling electrical components are not powered on or working, the electrical components that cooperate with the sweeper 1 can still operate independently. For example, the controller can be disposed above the base 30, on the top surface of the base 30, making full use of the space above the base 30.

[0066] In one embodiment, the garment processing equipment may further include a fan and a drying duct, both disposed in the placement cavity 10a, the drying duct connecting the fan and the sweeper cavity 30a. The fan ventilates the sweeper cavity 30a through the drying duct to quickly dry the cleaning parts of the sweeper 1. For example, the fan may be a centrifugal fan, which may be placed flat on the top surface of the base 30. That is, the air inlet of the fan along its axial direction opens upwards. This effectively reduces the height of the fan and facilitates a flattened design of the base.

[0067] The functions of a clothes handler are not limited. For example, a clothes handler may have washing and / or drying functions. That is to say, a clothes handler can be a washing machine, a dryer, and / or a washer-dryer combo, etc.

[0068] In some embodiments, the garment processor includes a housing and a rotatable garment processing drum, with a base connected to the bottom of the housing and the garment processing drum located within the housing. The axis of rotation of the garment processing drum can be vertical, inclined, or horizontal. That is, the garment processor can be a top-loading garment processor or a front-loading garment processor, etc. The garment processing drum is used to hold and process garments, for example, for washing and / or drying garments, etc.

[0069] In one embodiment, the garment processor includes a control device disposed in a housing. The control device is used to control the electrical components of the garment processor, such as the garment processing drum. The electrical components of the garment processor can be controlled independently, unaffected by the electrical components of the base. Even if the electrical components of the base are not powered on or not working, the electrical components of the garment processor can still work independently.

[0070] The various embodiments / implementations provided in this application can be combined with each other without creating contradictions.

[0071] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit the application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application.
