Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of cleaning device technology, and in particular to a cleaning system. Background Technology

[0002] A cleaning system can be a cleaning device that can automatically clean the surface to be cleaned. For example, a cleaning system can be a floor scrubber, which can clean hard floors and simultaneously pump out and remove wastewater from the site.

[0003] In related technologies, floor scrubbers include cleaning equipment and a base station. The cleaning equipment typically includes a floor brush assembly. When the cleaning equipment enters the base station, the floor brush assembly can be electrically connected to the base station's charging components to meet the charging needs of the cleaning equipment. However, during the process of the cleaning equipment entering the base station, the floor brush assembly and the base station are prone to scratching. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This application provides a cleaning system that reduces scratching between the floor brush assembly and the base station, thereby improving the stability of the cleaning system.

[0005] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a cleaning system, including:

[0006] The cleaning equipment includes a floor brush assembly, the floor brush assembly having a charging section on its side wall in a first direction;

[0007] Base stations, including:

[0008] The base station body has an accommodating space, and the cleaning equipment is configured to move along a second direction so that the floor brush assembly enters and is located within the accommodating space; the second direction intersects with a first direction; along the first direction, the base station body has a enclosure structure on the side of the accommodating space, the enclosure structure is used to enclose the accommodating space, and the enclosure structure has a first opening on the side facing the accommodating space.

[0009] A charging assembly includes a mounting component and a charging component. The charging component is mounted on the mounting component, which is rotatably mounted within a enclosure structure. The mounting component has a clearance position and a docking position when rotating relative to the enclosure structure. When the mounting component is in the clearance position and the floor brush assembly is entering the receiving space, the charging component is configured not to contact the charging unit. When the floor brush assembly is entering the receiving space and the mounting component is in the docking position, the charging component is configured to dock with the charging unit.

[0010] The floor brush assembly is configured to magnetically attach to the mounting component as it enters the receiving space, thereby switching the mounting component from a clearance position to a mating position.

[0011] In this embodiment, the mounting component of the charging assembly is rotatably disposed within the enclosure structure, providing both a clearance position and a docking position when the mounting component rotates relative to the enclosure structure. Since the charging component is mounted on the mounting component, it can rotate with the mounting component, thus allowing the charging component and the charging section of the floor brush assembly to be in contact or non-contact states. During the process of the floor brush assembly entering the receiving space along the second direction, the mounting component is in the clearance position, and the charging component and charging section are in a non-contact state. Therefore, the floor brush assembly will not scratch the charging component due to contact, which helps maintain the appearance integrity of the floor brush assembly during long-term use, extends the service life of the floor brush assembly, reduces user replacement costs, and improves the user experience. When the cleaning equipment enters the charging position within the receiving space, the mounting component is in the docking position, and the charging component docks with the charging section, enabling them to conduct electricity so that the base station can charge the cleaning equipment.

[0012] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the ground brush assembly is configured to magnetically attract the mounting component during the process of entering the accommodating space, thereby allowing the mounting component to switch from a clearance position to a docking position. This configuration ensures that the mounting component can switch from a clearance position to a docking position under the magnetic attraction of the ground brush assembly during the process of entering the accommodating space, thus preventing the ground brush assembly from scratching the cleaning equipment while also fulfilling the function of charging the cleaning equipment by the base station.

[0013] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the magnetic attraction between the ground brush assembly and the mounting component can be achieved through just two magnetic elements. This eliminates the need for drive devices such as motors and piston pumps in the base station, and reduces the need for transmission mechanisms such as linkages and gears, thereby simplifying the internal mechanical structure of the base station. Moreover, since the magnetic attraction does not require excessive mechanical interaction, it also reduces wear and fatigue of mechanical parts caused by movement, thus improving the long-term reliability and durability of the charging component.

[0014] In some embodiments, when the mounting component is in the clearance position, the charging component is hidden within the enclosure structure; when the mounting component is in the docking position, the charging component protrudes from the enclosure structure.

[0015] In this embodiment, when the mounting component is in the clearance position, the charging component is hidden inside the enclosure structure. At this time, the overall outline of the charging component is completely inside the enclosure structure, so that the charging component and the floor brush assembly will not come into contact at all during the entire process of the cleaning equipment entering the accommodating space. This achieves zero contact and zero wear between the charging component and the side wall of the floor brush assembly, thereby effectively solving the problem of scratching between the charging component and the floor brush assembly.

[0016] Alternatively, in some other embodiments, when the mounting component is in the clearance position, the charging component protrudes from the enclosure structure through the first opening, and the length of the charging component protruding from the enclosure structure is a first length; when the mounting component is in the docking position, the length of the charging component protruding from the enclosure structure is a second length, and the second length is greater than the first length.

[0017] In this embodiment, when the mounting component is in the clearance position, the charging component has a first length protruding beyond the enclosure structure. When the mounting component is in the docking position, the charging component has a second length protruding beyond the enclosure structure, and the second length is greater than the first length. This allows the charging component to extend further beyond the enclosure structure during docking, so that the charging component can dock with the charging unit and realize the charging of the cleaning equipment.

[0018] Because the charging component protrudes from the enclosure structure when the mounting component is in the clearance position, the distance between the charging component and the charging unit is shortened, which helps to reduce the rotation stroke of the mounting component. This reduces the operating space of the charging component and the space occupied by the charging component in the enclosure structure, thus contributing to a reduction in the size and weight of the enclosure structure, facilitating the lightweighting and miniaturization of the base station.

[0019] Therefore, by further defining the structural layout of the two charging components described above, the embodiments of this application can be applied to the requirements of base station scratch prevention and lightweighting.

[0020] In some embodiments, the mounting member has a first end and a second end, the first end being closer to the first opening than the second end. A charging member is mounted on the first end, and at least a portion of the charging member protrudes from the side of the mounting member facing the accommodating space; the second end is rotatably connected to the enclosure structure.

[0021] When the mounting component rotates around its second end, the first end rotates accordingly, moving towards or away from the receiving space. Since the charging component is mounted on the first end, and at least a portion of the charging component protrudes from the side of the mounting component facing the receiving space, rotating the first end towards or away from the receiving space causes the charging component to rotate simultaneously. Thus, when the first end rotates towards the side closer to the receiving space, causing the mounting component to rotate from a clearance position to a docking position, the charging component will be driven by the first end to rotate towards the side closer to the receiving space. When the mounting component rotates to the docking position, the charging component will protrude from the enclosure structure to dock with the charging unit.

[0022] Conversely, when the first end rotates away from the accommodating space, causing the mounting component to rotate from the docking position to the clearance position, the charging component will be driven by the first end to rotate away from the accommodating space. When the mounting component rotates to the clearance position, the charging component will retract into the enclosure structure to avoid the cleaning equipment entering the base station.

[0023] Furthermore, since the rotation trajectory of the mounting component is restricted by the rotation center in this embodiment, the mounting component does not require an additional guide structure, which helps to simplify the structure of the charging component, reduce additional production costs, and avoid friction caused by the guide structure of the mounting component during the guiding process.

[0024] In some embodiments, during docking, the first end rotates relative to the second end to the side of the enclosure structure closer to the first opening, so that the charging component can extend out of the first opening with the maximum effective stroke, thereby forming the deepest possible engagement and contact with the charging part of the cleaning device.

[0025] When avoiding the second end, the first end rotates to the side of the enclosure structure away from the first opening, so that the mounting component moves the charging component away from the path of the floor brush assembly into the receiving space as far as possible, thereby minimizing the scraping between the charging component and the floor brush assembly.

[0026] Therefore, by defining the position of the first end of the mounting component, this embodiment can allow the charging component to avoid the floor brush assembly when not in operation, and push it to dock with the charging section of the cleaning equipment when it is needed.

[0027] In some embodiments, during the docking position, a portion of the first end is located within the first opening, so that the charging component can be closer to the charging unit, thereby shortening the docking distance between the charging component and the charging unit and facilitating the docking of the charging component and the charging unit.

[0028] In some embodiments, the enclosure structure has an installation cavity, and a support portion is provided inside the installation cavity; the mounting member is disposed inside the installation cavity, and its second end is rotatably connected to the support portion, so as to realize that the mounting member is installed inside the enclosure structure.

[0029] In some embodiments, at least one of the support portion and the second end portion has a mounting hole, and the other has a pivot shaft rotatably disposed within the mounting hole so that the mounting member can be rotatably installed within the enclosure structure.

[0030] Secondly, embodiments of this application also provide another cleaning system, including:

[0031] The cleaning equipment includes a floor brush assembly, the floor brush assembly having a charging section on its side wall in a first direction;

[0032] Base stations, including:

[0033] The base station body has an accommodating space, and the cleaning equipment is configured to move along a second direction so that the floor brush assembly enters and is located within the accommodating space; the second direction intersects with a first direction; along the first direction, the base station body has a enclosure structure on the side of the accommodating space, the enclosure structure is used to enclose the accommodating space, and the enclosure structure has a first opening on the side facing the accommodating space.

[0034] A charging assembly includes a mounting member and a charging member, the charging member being mounted on the mounting member, the mounting member being slidably mounted within a enclosure structure, and the mounting member having a clearance position and a docking position when sliding relative to the enclosure structure; when the mounting member is in the clearance position and during the process of the floor brush assembly entering the receiving space, the charging member is configured not to contact the charging part; when in the docking position, at least a portion of the charging member protrudes from the enclosure structure through a first opening and is capable of docking with the charging part of the floor brush assembly located in the receiving space;

[0035] The floor brush assembly is configured to magnetically attach to the mounting component as it enters the receiving space, thereby switching the mounting component from a clearance position to a mating position.

[0036] Unlike the cleaning system mentioned in the first aspect, the mounting component in the cleaning system mentioned in the second aspect is slidably installed within the enclosure structure. The charging assembly switches between a clearance position and a docking position by sliding the mounting component towards the accommodating space.

[0037] In this embodiment, the mounting component is slidably installed within the aforementioned enclosure structure. The mounting component can slide relative to the enclosure structure along a straight or near-straight trajectory between a clearance position and a docking position, thus providing both clearance and docking positions when sliding relative to the enclosure structure. Since the charging component is mounted on the mounting component, it can move with the mounting component, allowing the charging component to be in contact with and not in contact with the charging section of the floor brush assembly. When the floor brush assembly begins to enter the receiving space, and the mounting component is in the clearance position, the mounting component and the charging component mounted on it are in a retracted position relative to the enclosure structure. This prevents the charging component from contacting the floor brush assembly of the cleaning equipment during this process, effectively avoiding scratches. This helps maintain the appearance integrity of the floor brush assembly during long-term use, extending its lifespan, reducing replacement costs for users, and improving the user experience. When the cleaning equipment enters the charging position within the receiving space, the mounting component is in the docking position, and the charging component docks with the charging section, enabling them to conduct electricity so that the base station can charge the cleaning equipment.

[0038] Furthermore, the floor brush assembly in this embodiment can be the same as in the aforementioned embodiments, also configured to magnetically attract the mounting component during entry into the receiving space, thereby allowing the mounting component to switch from a clearance position to a docking position. This allows the mounting component to switch from a clearance position to a docking position under magnetic attraction during the entry of the floor brush assembly into the receiving space, preventing the floor brush assembly from scratching while simultaneously fulfilling the function of charging the cleaning equipment from the base station.

[0039] Of course, since a floor brush component is provided in this embodiment, it also has the beneficial effects of the cleaning system in the aforementioned embodiment, that is, the base station does not need to set up too many drive devices and transmission mechanisms, which helps to simplify the internal structure of the base station.

[0040] Furthermore, compared to rotating mounting components, this embodiment allows the charging component to switch positions in a sliding manner. This restricts the movement of the mounting component to the docking position to a single direction, ensuring that the charging component makes direct and accurate contact with the charging part on the cleaning equipment. This reduces lateral slippage or misalignment, thereby helping to establish a more stable electrical connection with lower resistance and improving the user experience.

[0041] In some embodiments, the charging element is mounted on the mounting member, and at least a portion of the charging element protrudes from the side of the mounting member facing the accommodating space; the mounting member is slidably connected to the enclosure structure.

[0042] This embodiment uses a charging component that protrudes at least partially from the enclosure structure, which can shorten the docking distance between the charging component and the charging part, thereby facilitating the docking of the end of the charging component that extends outside the mounting component with the charging part.

[0043] In some embodiments, when in the docking position, at least part of the mounting member slides into the first opening so that the charging member can get closer to the charging part, thereby shortening the docking distance between the charging member and the charging part and facilitating the docking of the charging member and the charging part.

[0044] In some embodiments, the cleaning system further includes a magnetic assembly comprising a magnetic element and an adsorption element, one of which is mounted on the sidewall of the floor brush assembly in a first direction, and the other is mounted on a mounting element.

[0045] During the process of the floor brush assembly entering the receiving space, the magnetic component and the adsorption component magnetically attract each other, so that the floor brush assembly and the mounting component have a magnetic attraction effect, allowing the mounting component to switch to the docking position, thereby allowing the charging component to dock with the charging unit to realize charging.

[0046] In some embodiments, the adsorption element is a magnetic structure, and along the first direction, the magnetic structure and the magnetic element have opposite magnetic properties on opposite sides.

[0047] Since the magnetic component is also a magnetic structure, the adsorption component and the magnetic component can generate a bidirectional interaction force, which increases the magnetic attraction force between the adsorption component and the magnetic component, thereby increasing the magnetic attraction force of the floor brush assembly on the mounting component. This helps the mounting component to be stably switched to the docking position, so as to facilitate the docking of the charging component and the charging unit.

[0048] In some embodiments, the magnetic element is located within the mounting member and is magnetically attracted to the adsorbent element via the mounting member; or, the mounting member has a mounting opening on the side facing the accommodating space, and at least a portion of the magnetic element is located within the mounting opening and is magnetically attracted to the adsorbent element.

[0049] This embodiment places the magnetic component inside the mounting component, thereby protecting it from external environmental corrosion. This makes it suitable for humid and dusty environments with high protection requirements and extends its service life.

[0050] Alternatively, in this embodiment, the magnetic component is installed within the mounting opening of the mounting component. The magnetic component can be entirely located within the mounting opening or partially located within the mounting hole. Since the mounting opening faces the accommodating space, the magnetic component can be exposed on the side facing the accommodating space. Therefore, the magnetic component is in an unobstructed state, reducing the loss of magnetic field transmission when the magnetic component and the adsorption component magnetically attract each other.

[0051] At the same time, if the magnetic part protrudes from the mounting opening, it brings the magnetic part closer to the receiving space, thereby shortening the magnetic attraction distance between the magnetic part and the adsorption part. This helps to increase the magnetic attraction force between the magnetic part and the adsorption part, ensuring that the mounting part can stably rotate or slide from the clearance position to the docking position.

[0052] In some embodiments, the mounting member has a first assembly cavity, the charging member is disposed in the first assembly cavity, and one end of the charging member extending toward the accommodating space extends to the outside of the mounting member.

[0053] When the mounting component rotates to the docking position under magnetic attraction, the protruding end of the charging component is more easily docked with the charging unit on the cleaning equipment.

[0054] In some embodiments, the first assembly cavity has a first assembly groove communicating with the outside on the side facing the accommodating space, and the charging component is disposed in the first assembly groove. The wall of the first assembly cavity can, to a certain extent, enclose and shield the charging component, reducing direct contact between the charging component and dust, moisture or other foreign objects in the environment.

[0055] The charging assembly also includes a first elastic element, which is sleeved on the outside of the charging assembly. One end of the first elastic element is clamped between the groove wall of the first assembly groove and the charging assembly, and the other end of the first elastic element is connected to the mounting component.

[0056] At the instant the charging component rotates to the docking position and contacts the charging part of the floor brush assembly, the first elastic element can undergo elastic deformation, effectively absorbing and buffering the contact impact force between the two, thereby avoiding physical damage caused by excessive instantaneous impact force, thus improving the durability and reliability of the component.

[0057] Furthermore, under the elastic action of the first elastic element, the charging element can make a small adaptive displacement in the deformation direction of the first elastic element, thereby ensuring that its end can make effective and stable contact with the charging part, thus ensuring the quality and stability of the electrical connection.

[0058] In some embodiments, the charging assembly further includes a reset member located on the side of the mounting member facing the accommodating space, and the two ends of the reset member abutting against the inner walls of the mounting member and the enclosure structure, respectively.

[0059] The reset component is used to provide the torque or thrust to rotate the mounting component, so that the charging component automatically returns to its initial clearance state, ensuring the reliability and stability of the charging component's working cycle.

[0060] In some embodiments, along the first direction, the base station body is provided with a enclosure structure on both sides of the accommodating space; the number of charging components is two, and the two charging components include a positive charging component and a negative charging component.

[0061] The mounting components of one of the positive charging components and the negative charging components are located within one of the enclosure structures, and the mounting components of the other are located within the other enclosure structure.

[0062] The floor brush assembly has a charging section on each of its two side walls in the first direction.

[0063] In this embodiment, the positive and negative charging components are respectively arranged on both sides of the ground brush component, making the current inflow and outflow paths clearly defined. Compared with a single-sided arrangement, this helps to avoid line congestion and electromagnetic interference. At the same time, the above layout helps to reduce the impedance of the circuit, improve charging efficiency, and make the heat distribution during the charging process more uniform, thereby improving the electrical safety and stability of the system.

[0064] In some embodiments, a signal connector is further provided on the mounting of either the positive charging component or the negative charging component;

[0065] When the mounting component is in the clearance position, the signal connector is located within the enclosure structure where the mounting component is located;

[0066] The floor brush assembly also has a signal connection part on the side wall facing the signal connector, and the enclosure structure with the signal connector has a second opening;

[0067] When the mounting component is in the mating position, at least a portion of the signal connector protrudes from the enclosure structure through the second opening and is able to mate with the signal connection portion of the brush assembly located in the accommodating space.

[0068] The signal connector provides a physical contact feedback signal to the base station's control system. This feedback signal indicates that the brush assembly has accurately reached the preset charging position and that the charging assembly has correctly switched to the docking position. The cleaning system can only initiate the charging process after receiving this signal, effectively preventing electrical faults or safety accidents that might occur if charging is forced due to the equipment not being in place, thereby improving the safety of the cleaning system.

[0069] In some embodiments, the mounting member with the signal connector further includes a second assembly cavity, the signal connector is disposed in the second assembly cavity, and one end of the signal connector facing the accommodating space extends to the outside of the mounting member.

[0070] The second assembly cavity provides installation space for the signal connector, allowing it to be mounted on the mounting component. When the mounting component is in its clearance position or rotating, the walls of the first assembly cavity can, to a certain extent, enclose and shield the signal connector, reducing its direct contact with dust, moisture, or other foreign matter in the environment.

[0071] In some embodiments, the second assembly cavity has a second assembly groove communicating with the outside on the side facing the accommodating space, and the signal connector is disposed in the second assembly groove;

[0072] The charging assembly also includes a second elastic element, which is sleeved on the outside of the signal connector. One end of the second elastic element is clamped between the groove wall of the second assembly groove and the signal connector, and the other end of the second elastic element is connected to the mounting component.

[0073] When the signal connector and the signal connection part are connected, there is a certain amount of collision and impact between them. Through the extension and retraction of the second elastic element, the mechanical impact at the moment of connection can be effectively absorbed, reducing the degree of collision between the signal connector and the signal connection part, which helps to increase the service life of the signal connector.

[0074] Meanwhile, during long-term use of the cleaning system, slight vibrations of the cleaning equipment or base may cause gaps to form between the signal connector and the signal connection part. This embodiment utilizes the elastic support of the second elastic element to compensate for displacement of the signal connector, ensuring a tight and continuous fit between the signal connector and the signal connection part on the floor brush assembly.

[0075] Therefore, this embodiment can provide continuous pressure to the signal connector through the second elastic element, ensuring a stable connection between the signal connector and the signal connection part, thereby helping to improve the reliability of the signal connection between the base station and the cleaning equipment.

Detailed Implementation

[0107] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0108] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a cleaning system is shown. Figure 2 A schematic diagram of a cleaning device is shown. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The cleaning equipment shown is a floor scrubber. The X direction in the diagram is the first direction, and the Y direction is the second direction. The following section will combine... Figure 1 and Figure 2 Using cleaning equipment as a floor scrubber, the structure of the cleaning system is further explained.

[0109] This application provides a cleaning system that may include cleaning equipment and a base station 20. The cleaning equipment may be a robotic vacuum cleaner, a washer-extractor, a vacuum cleaner, a floor scrubber, or other devices capable of cleaning a surface to be cleaned. For example, the surface to be cleaned may be a floor.

[0110] Base station 20 provides a charging interface for the cleaning equipment. Simultaneously, when the cleaning equipment is placed inside base station 20, base station 20 can establish an electrical connection with the cleaning equipment, enabling the cleaning equipment to enter a charging state.

[0111] The cleaning device includes a floor brush assembly 10, which contacts the surface to be cleaned via a roller brush at its bottom. The cleaning device can drive the roller brush to move relative to the surface and clean it. The floor brush assembly 10 may include a rigid housing disposed on its outer periphery. The housing of the floor brush assembly 10 has a charging section 11 on its side wall in a first direction. The charging section 11 functions as a power receiving terminal for the cleaning device, enabling current transmission.

[0112] The charging unit 11 can be embedded in the side wall of the floor brush assembly 10, and its outer surface can be flush with or recessed relative to the side wall of the floor brush assembly 10. The charging unit 11 can be a structure such as a metal contact or a conductive pillar to facilitate electrical connection with the charging assembly 220 on the base station 20. This application embodiment does not impose specific limitations on the structure of the charging unit 11.

[0113] Base station 20 includes base station body 210 and charging component 220. Base station body 210 is the main structure of base station 20, providing positioning and support for cleaning equipment. Base station body 210 has a receiving space 21 for placing cleaning equipment. The shape of receiving space 21 can match the shape of floor brush component 10, so that after floor brush component 10 enters receiving space 21, it can be limited, which helps to stably place floor brush component 10 on base station 20.

[0114] In the first direction, the base station body 210 is provided with a barrier structure 211 on the side of the accommodating space 21. The barrier structure 211 is used to enclose the accommodating space 21 and limit the ground brush assembly 10. The barrier structure 211 can be provided on one or both sides of the base station body 210 in the first direction to limit the ground brush assembly 10 in one or two directions.

[0115] The enclosure structure 211 can be a frame structure perpendicular to the ground, and its height is adapted to the height of the floor brush assembly 10, providing lateral restraint for the floor brush assembly 10.

[0116] The enclosure structure 211 is also provided with a first opening 2111 on the side facing the accommodating space 21. The first opening 2111 can provide movement space for the charging component 220 of the base station 20, allowing the charging component 220 to partially extend into the accommodating space 21 to complete the docking, ensuring that the docking path between the charging unit 11 and the charging component 220 is not blocked by the enclosure structure 211.

[0117] The cleaning device can move into the receiving space 21 along the second direction, allowing the floor brush assembly 10 to enter the receiving space 21. Since the second direction intersects the first direction, the barrier structure 211 in the first direction will not interfere with the moving cleaning device during its movement along the second direction, and the charging assembly 220 can connect with the charging section 11 of the floor brush assembly 10 from the first direction to achieve charging. The first and second directions can be perpendicular or oblique.

[0118] It is understood that the base station 20 has an entrance in the second direction of the accommodating space 21 so that the cleaning equipment can enter the accommodating space 21 from the surface to be cleaned through the opening.

[0119] In related technologies, the floor scrubber's brush assembly is charged via a side charging section that connects to the base station's charging assembly. The charging assembly of this floor scrubber has a portion protruding from the enclosure structure, placing this portion within the accommodating space. However, during actual use, when the cleaning equipment enters the base station, the outer wall of the brush assembly in the first direction is prone to scraping against the protruding portion of the charging assembly. Over time, this can lead to wear on the outer wall of the brush assembly, affecting not only the appearance of the cleaning equipment but also potentially compromising the structural stability of the charging section due to the scraping, thus interfering with the reliability of the charging connection.

[0120] Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the structure of the mounting member 221 of a charging assembly 220 in the clearance position is shown. Figure 4 A schematic diagram of the structure of a mounting piece 221 of a charging assembly 220 at the mating position is shown.

[0121] For ease of description, the charging components provided in the embodiments of this application may include a first type of charging component, a second type of charging component, etc., depending on their structure. Figure 3 and Figure 4 The charging component shown is the first type of charging component.

[0122] The structure of the first charging component of the cleaning system of this embodiment will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0123] The cleaning system provided in this embodiment is equipped with a charging component 220, which includes a mounting member 221 and a charging member 222, with the charging member 222 mounted on the mounting member 221. The mounting member 221 is rotatably disposed within the enclosure structure 211, and has a clearance position and a docking position when rotating relative to the enclosure structure 211. The mounting member 221 can switch between the clearance position and the docking position by magnetically engaging with the floor brush assembly 10. When the mounting member 221 is in the clearance position, the charging member 222 does not contact the charging part 11. Therefore, during the process of the floor brush assembly 10 entering the receiving space 21, the floor brush assembly 10 will not scrape against the charging component 220, which helps to avoid wear on the outer wall of the floor brush assembly 10. When the mounting member 221 is in the docking position, the charging member 222 can dock with the charging part 11 to realize power transmission.

[0124] See Figure 3 and Figure 4The charging assembly 220 can be disposed inside the enclosure structure 211. The charging assembly 220 includes a mounting member 221 and a charging member 222. The mounting member 221 is rotatably mounted inside the enclosure structure 211, and the mounting member 221 has a clearance position and a docking position when rotating relative to the enclosure structure 211, providing a basis for the contact and separation of the charging member 222 with the charging part 11 of the cleaning equipment. The mounting member 221 can be rotatably connected to the enclosure structure 211 via a pin, shaft, or other structure.

[0125] The charging component 222 is a power transmission component between the base station 20 and the cleaning equipment, and can be connected to an external power source. The charging component 222 can be made of a conductive metal material, such as copper, aluminum, or copper alloys, to ensure good conductivity.

[0126] The charging component 222 is mounted on the mounting component 221. As the mounting component 221 switches between the clearance position and the docking position, the state between the charging component 222 and the charging part 11 of the floor brush assembly 10 is either in contact or not in contact.

[0127] Figure 5 A side view of a base station 20 in this embodiment is shown. Figures 6 to 7 This is a schematic diagram showing the base station 20 being cut along the AA direction when the mounting component 221 is in the avoidance position in this embodiment.

[0128] See Figures 5 to 7 Specifically, during the process of the floor brush assembly 10 entering the receiving space 21, the mounting component 221 is in a clearance position, and there is a certain distance between the charging component 222 and the charging part 11, so that the charging component 222 and the charging part 11 of the floor brush assembly 10 are not in contact. In this state, there is also a certain distance between the charging component 220 and the floor brush assembly 10, thereby avoiding scratching between the floor brush assembly 10 and the charging component 220 during the movement of the floor brush assembly 10 into the receiving space 21. This helps the floor brush assembly 10 maintain its appearance integrity during long-term use, improves the service life of the floor brush assembly 10, reduces the user's replacement cost, and improves the user experience.

[0129] Figures 8 to 10 This is a schematic diagram showing the base station 20 cut along the AA direction when the mounting component 221 is in the docking position in this embodiment.

[0130] See Figures 8 to 10 Once the floor brush assembly 10 is in the charging position within the accommodating space 21, the mounting member 221 rotates to the docking position due to the magnetic attraction between the floor brush assembly 10 and the mounting member 221, thereby moving the charging member 222 to a position where it contacts the charging unit 11. In this way, the charging member 222 docks with the charging unit 11, and the floor brush assembly 10 connects to an external power source to meet its charging needs.

[0131] In this embodiment, the mounting part 221 of the charging component 220 is rotatably disposed within the enclosure structure 211, such that the mounting part 221 has a clearance position and a docking position when rotating relative to the enclosure structure 211. Since the charging component 222 is mounted on the mounting part 221, it can rotate with the mounting part 221. Thus, the charging component 222 and the charging part 11 of the floor brush assembly 10 have both contact and non-contact states. See [link / reference] Figure 11 During the process of the floor brush assembly 10 entering the receiving space 21 in the second direction, the mounting part 221 is located in the avoidance position, and the charging part 222 and the charging part 11 are in a non-contact state. Therefore, the charging part 220 and the floor brush assembly 10 will not scratch each other due to contact, which helps the cleaning equipment maintain its appearance integrity during long-term use and meets the user's experience.

[0132] Furthermore, the floor brush assembly 10 in this embodiment can be configured to magnetically attract the mounting member 221 during its entry into the receiving space 21. See also Figure 12 The floor brush assembly 10 and the mounting part 221 are magnetically attracted to each other, allowing the mounting part 221 to switch from the avoidance position to the docking position, so that the charging part 222 can move with the mounting part 221 and dock with the charging part 11 of the floor brush assembly 10.

[0133] The floor brush assembly 10 and the mounting component 221 can each be equipped with mutually cooperating magnetic elements. As the floor brush assembly 10 gradually moves towards the charging position, the distance between the two magnetic elements gradually shortens. When the floor brush assembly 10 reaches the charging position, a magnetic attraction force is generated between the two magnetic elements. This magnetic attraction force drives the mounting component 221 to rotate relative to the enclosure structure 211, causing the mounting component 221 to switch from a clearance position to a docking position, thereby driving the charging component 222 to dock with the charging unit 11. In this way, during the process of the floor brush assembly 10 entering the receiving space 21, the mounting component 221 can switch from a clearance position to a docking position under the action of magnetic attraction, which not only prevents the floor brush assembly 10 from scratching, but also fulfills the function of the base station 20 to charge the cleaning equipment. When the cleaning equipment is fully charged, the floor brush assembly 10 can exit the receiving space 21 in the second direction. The magnetic attraction between the floor brush assembly 10 and the mounting part 221 weakens and disappears. The mounting part 221 can then return from the docking position to the avoidance position, and drive the charging part 222 back to a position where it does not contact the charging part 11, so as to avoid the floor brush assembly 10 entering the receiving space 21 next time.

[0134] Compared to controlling the position of the mounting component 221 based on a drive device, in this embodiment the position of the mounting component 221 can be controlled by only two interacting magnetic elements. This reduces the need for drive devices such as motors and piston pumps, as well as transmission mechanisms such as linkages and gears, which helps to simplify the internal mechanical structure of the base station 20.

[0135] Furthermore, since magnetic adsorption does not require excessive mechanical interaction, it can reduce wear and fatigue of mechanical parts caused by movement, thereby improving the reliability and durability of the charging component 220 for long-term use.

[0136] In this embodiment, when the mounting member 221 of the charging component 220 is in the avoidance position, the charging component 222 can have two structural layouts relative to the enclosure structure 211, so that the charging component 222 does not contact the charging part 11. The two embodiments described above will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0137] In the first embodiment, when the mounting member 221 is in the clearance position, the charging member 222 is hidden inside the enclosure structure 211; when the mounting member 221 is in the docking position, the charging member 222 protrudes from the enclosure structure 211.

[0138] See Figure 13 In this embodiment, when the mounting component 221 is in the clearance position, the charging component 222 is hidden inside the enclosure structure 211. At this time, the overall outline of the charging component 222 is completely inside the enclosure structure 211, so that the charging component 222 and the floor brush assembly 10 will not come into contact at all during the entire process of the cleaning equipment entering the accommodating space 21. This results in zero contact and zero wear between the charging component 222 and the side wall of the floor brush assembly 10, thereby effectively solving the problem of scratching between the charging component 220 and the floor brush assembly 10.

[0139] When the mounting component 221 is in the mating position, see... Figure 15 The floor brush assembly 10 and the mounting part 221 are magnetically attracted to each other. During the process of the mounting part 221 rotating to the docking position, the charging part 222 protrudes from the enclosure structure 211 through the first opening 2111 of the enclosure structure 211, so that the protruding part of the charging part 222 docks with the charging part 11 of the floor brush assembly 10 to meet the charging requirements.

[0140] In some application scenarios, during the process of cleaning equipment entering base station 20, although there is a certain distance between the floor brush assembly 10 and the enclosure structure 211, the cleaning equipment will still not come into contact with the enclosure structure 211. Therefore, in the second embodiment, when the mounting component 221 is in the avoidance position, the charging component 222 can partially protrude from the enclosure structure 211, thereby shortening the distance between the charging component 222 and the charging part 11, so that the two can be more easily connected.

[0141] Specifically, when the mounting component 221 is in the clearance position, the charging component 222 protrudes from the enclosure structure 211 through the first opening 2111. The length of the charging component 222 protruding from the enclosure structure 211 is a first length. When the mounting component 221 is in the mating position, the length of the charging component 222 protruding from the enclosure structure 211 is a second length, which is greater than the first length.

[0142] See Figure 14 In this embodiment, when the mounting member 221 is in the clearance position, the charging member 222 has a first length protruding from the enclosure structure 211. When the mounting member 221 is in the docking position, the charging member 222 has a second length protruding from the enclosure structure 211, and the second length is greater than the first length, so that the charging member 222 can further extend out of the enclosure structure 211 during docking, so that the charging member 222 can dock with the charging part 11 to realize the charging of the cleaning equipment.

[0143] Since the charging component 222 protrudes from the enclosure structure 211 when the mounting component 221 is in the clearance position, the distance between the charging component 222 and the charging part 11 is shortened, which helps to reduce the rotation stroke of the mounting component 221. As a result, the operating space of the charging component 220 can be reduced, and the space occupied by the charging component 220 in the enclosure structure 211 can be reduced, which helps to reduce the size and weight of the enclosure structure 211, making it easier to make the base station 20 lighter and smaller.

[0144] Therefore, by further defining the structural layout of the two charging components 220 described above, this embodiment of the application can be applied to the scratch-resistant and lightweight requirements of the base station 20.

[0145] It should be noted that when the ground brush assembly 10 is installed inside the base station 20, the first length can be adjusted according to the gap between the ground brush assembly 10 and the base station 20 to ensure that when the mounting part 221 is in the avoidance position, the charging part 222 will not come into contact with the ground brush assembly 10 and cause scratches.

[0146] See Figure 16 and Figure 17 In some embodiments, the mounting member 221 has a first end 2211 and a second end 2212 in its length direction.

[0147] The first end 2211 and the second end 2212 of the mounting member 221 can be two ends along its length. Alternatively, the first end 2211 and the second end 2212 of the mounting member 221 can be two ends in two different directions. For example, the first end 2211 of the mounting member 221 can be the end along its length, and the second end 2212 can be the end along its width. The mounting member 221 can be a strip-shaped or columnar structure, such that the mounting member 221 has a first end 2211 and a second end 2212 along its length.

[0148] The first end 2211 is disposed near the first opening 2111 relative to the second end 2212, and at least a portion of the charging member 222 protrudes from the side of the mounting member 221 facing the accommodating space 21. The second end 2212 is rotatably connected to the enclosure structure 211.

[0149] Compared to the second end 2212, the first end 2211 is closer to the first opening 2111 of the enclosure structure 211. That is, compared to the first end 2211, the second end 2212 is farther away from the first opening 2111 of the enclosure structure 211, which makes the first end 2211 have a larger rotational stroke than the second end 2212, thereby allowing the charging component 222 installed on the first end 2211 to have a larger stroke.

[0150] The first end 2211 is the mounting part of the charging component 222, providing a mounting structure and space for the charging component 222. The second end 2212 is rotatably connected to the enclosure structure 211, and is the rotating part of the mounting component 221 relative to the enclosure structure 211. The second end 2212 can be rotatably connected to the shaft hole in the enclosure structure 211 via a pivot or pin.

[0151] Furthermore, at least part of the charging component 222 protrudes from the side of the mounting component 221 facing the accommodating space 21. Therefore, the end of the charging component 222 facing the first opening 2111 protrudes from the mounting component 221, thereby shortening the distance between the charging component 222 and the charging part 11. When the mounting component 221 is in the docking position, it is convenient for the charging component 222 to dock with the charging part 11.

[0152] When the mounting component 221 rotates around the second end 2212, the first end 2211 will move closer to or further away from the accommodating space 21 as the rotation angle changes, thereby causing the charging component 222 to adjust the length protruding from the enclosure structure 211, so that the relative position of the charging component 222 and the mounting component 221 does not need to be adjusted separately.

[0153] Since the mounting component 221 moves based on rotation, driving the charging component 222 to move, the rotation trajectory of the mounting component 221 is limited by the rotation center. Therefore, the mounting component 221 does not require an additional guide structure, which helps to simplify the structure of the charging component 220, reduce additional production costs, and avoid friction caused by the guide structure of the mounting component 221 during the guiding process.

[0154] In some embodiments, the rotational position of the first end 2211 relative to the second end 2212 and the first opening 2111 is further specified when the mounting member 221 is in the clearance position and the docking position.

[0155] For details, please continue to see Figure 13 and Figure 15 When the mounting member 221 is in the mating position, the first end 2211 rotates relative to the second end 2212 to the side of the enclosure structure 211 near the first opening 2111. The charging member 222 is mounted on the first end 2211, and at least a portion of the charging member 222 protrudes from the side of the mounting member 221 facing the accommodating space 21; the second end 2212 is rotatably connected to the enclosure structure 211.

[0156] When the mounting member 221 rotates around the second end 2212, the first end 2211 will rotate toward the side closer to or further away from the receiving space 21. Since the charging member 222 is mounted on the first end 2211, and at least part of the charging member 222 protrudes from the side of the mounting member 221 facing the receiving space 21, the first end 2211 will rotate toward the side closer to or further away from the receiving space 21, thus causing the charging member 222 to rotate simultaneously. In this way, when the first end 2211 rotates toward the side closer to the receiving space 21, so that the mounting member 221 rotates from the clearance position to the docking position, the charging member 222 will be driven by the first end 2211 to rotate toward the side closer to the receiving space 21. When the mounting member 221 rotates to the docking position, the charging member 222 will protrude from the enclosure structure 211 to dock with the charging unit 11.

[0157] Conversely, when the first end 2211 rotates toward the side away from the accommodating space 21, so that the mounting part 221 rotates from the docking position to the avoidance position, the charging part 222 will be driven by the first end 2211 to rotate toward the side away from the accommodating space 21. When the mounting part 221 rotates to the avoidance position, the charging part 222 will retract into the enclosure structure 211 in order to avoid the cleaning equipment entering the base station 20.

[0158] In conjunction with the first length and the second length in the aforementioned embodiments, when the first end 2211 approaches the first opening 2111, the charging component 222 it carries will extend towards the accommodating space 21 along with the end posture, and the length protruding from the enclosure structure 211 will increase from the first length to the second length, so that the charging component 222 can dock with the charging part 11.

[0159] When the mounting component 221 switches from the docking position to the avoidance position, the first end 2211 moves into the enclosure structure 211, so that the distance between the charging component 222 and the floor brush assembly 10 is kept within a safe range. Even if the floor brush assembly 10 is slightly offset when it enters, it will not touch the charging component 222 or the first end 2211, thereby helping to avoid the scraping between the charging component 222 and the floor brush assembly 10.

[0160] The second end 2212 can serve as a fixed fulcrum. Even if the first end 2211 switches between two postures, the second end 2212 can be hidden inside the enclosure structure 211, without interfering with the movement of the floor brush assembly 10, thus ensuring the stability of the overall rotation process.

[0161] Furthermore, since the rotation trajectory of the mounting component 221 is restricted by the rotation center in this embodiment, the mounting component 221 does not require an additional guide structure, which helps to simplify the structure of the charging component 220, reduce additional production costs, and at the same time avoid friction caused by the guide structure of the mounting component 221 during the guiding process.

[0162] See Figure 17 In some embodiments, when the mounting member 221 is in the mating position, a portion of the first end 2211 is located within the first opening 2111.

[0163] As the first end 2211 enters the first opening 2111, the charging component 222 it carries will move towards the accommodating space 21 synchronously. Compared to the first end 2211 only approaching the first opening 2111, with part of the first end 2211 entering the first opening 2111, the charging component 222 can get closer to the charging part 11, thereby shortening the docking distance and helping to reduce the docking difficulty between the charging component 222 and the charging part 11. Therefore, this embodiment can be applied to scenarios where the charging part 11 is recessed on the outer wall of the floor brush assembly 10.

[0164] In addition, the first opening 2111 can form a lateral limit on the first end 2211 that enters, limiting the offset of the first end 2211 at the first opening 2111, ensuring that the charging component 222 is always aligned with the central area of ​​the charging part 11, and further improving the docking accuracy.

[0165] It should be noted that the size of the first opening 2111 can be slightly larger than the size of the first end 2211, providing a rotational clearance for the first end 2211 to enter the opening, which helps to avoid friction between the two during rotation.

[0166] In some embodiments, see Figures 13 to 15The enclosure structure 211 has a mounting cavity 2112, and a bearing portion 2113 is provided inside the mounting cavity 2112. The mounting member 221 is disposed inside the mounting cavity 2112, and the second end 2212 is rotatably connected to the bearing portion 2113.

[0167] The mounting cavity 2112 can be located on the side of the first opening 2111 away from the receiving space 21. The mounting cavity 2112 can provide the charging assembly 220 with room to move, ensuring that the entire mounting component 221 can always be accommodated in the mounting cavity 2112 when it rotates between the clearance position and the docking position, without interfering with other internal components of the enclosure structure 211.

[0168] The support portion 2113 provides a connection portion for the second end 2212 of the mounting member 221. The support portion 2113 may provide a connection portion on one or both sides of the first end 2211 so that the second end 2212 can be connected to the support portion 2113.

[0169] The supporting part 2113 can be a protruding structure, which can include two bosses. One boss can be provided on one side wall of the mounting cavity 2112, and the other boss can be provided on the other side wall of the mounting cavity 2112. The two side walls are opposite side walls of the mounting cavity 2112.

[0170] The second end 2212 can be installed between the two bosses to define its own installation position and facilitate connection with the support part 2113.

[0171] In some embodiments, at least one of the support portion 2113 and the second end portion 2212 has a mounting hole, and the other has a rotating shaft rotatably disposed within the mounting hole.

[0172] The bearing portion 2113 and the second end portion 2212 are rotatably connected through a rotating engagement between a pivot and a mounting hole, allowing the mounting component 221 to rotate relative to the pivot and switch between a mating position and a clearance position. It is understood that the diameter of the mounting hole must match the diameter of the pivot to ensure flexible rotation of the pivot while preventing excessive clearance that could cause the mounting component 221 to wobble.

[0173] The support portion 2113 may be provided with mounting holes, and the second end portion 2212 may be provided with a rotating shaft. The support portion 2113 may have mounting holes on one side or opposite sides of the second end portion 2212. These mounting holes can be blind holes or through holes. For example, if the mounting hole is a blind hole, its depth must be greater than the insertion length of the rotating shaft to prevent the end of the rotating shaft from colliding with the bottom of the hole. Alternatively, if the mounting hole is a through hole, the mounting holes on opposite sides of the support portion 2113 must be collinear to prevent jamming due to axial misalignment during shaft rotation.

[0174] Of course, the support portion 2113 can also be provided with a rotating shaft, and the second end portion 2212 can be provided with mounting holes. The support portion 2113 can extend from the side wall corresponding to the second end portion 2212 toward the center of the mounting cavity 2112 to form an integrated rotating shaft. Mounting holes are provided on both sides of the second end portion 2212 of the mounting member 221, corresponding to the rotating shaft of the support portion 2113. These mounting holes can be through holes penetrating the second end portion 2212, with a certain clearance between the hole diameter and the diameter of the rotating shaft.

[0175] In other embodiments, to further improve rotational stability, a miniature bearing can be embedded in the mounting hole. The outer ring of the bearing is interference-fitted with the mounting hole, and the inner ring is clearance-fitted with the shaft of the bearing portion 2113. During assembly, the mounting hole at the second end 2212 of the mounting member 221 is aligned with the shaft of the bearing portion 2113, and then it is inserted laterally to complete the assembly.

[0176] The cleaning system described above, which includes the first type of charging component, is the first type of cleaning system.

[0177] For application scenarios where the height of the accommodating space 21 is limited or linear docking of the charging component 222 is required, this embodiment also provides a second cleaning system. Unlike the previous embodiment, this second cleaning system also includes another charging component 220. For ease of description, the charging component 220 in the second cleaning system is defined as the second charging component. The second charging component also includes a mounting component 221 and a charging component 222. The following description focuses on the differences between the second charging component and the first charging component.

[0178] Figure 18 A schematic diagram of the second type of charging component slidingly connected to the enclosure structure 211 is shown; Figure 19 A schematic diagram showing the installation of the charging assembly 220 within the enclosure structure 211 is provided below. Figure 18 and Figure 19 The second charging component is described in detail.

[0179] For the second type of charging component, the mounting member 221 is slidably installed within the enclosure structure 211. Furthermore, the charging component 220 slides towards the receiving space 21 via the mounting member 221, enabling the mounting member 221 to switch between a clearance position and a docking position.

[0180] The charging component 220 can also be driven by the magnetic attraction of the floor brush component 10 to switch the mounting member 221 from the avoidance position to the docking position. That is, the floor brush component 10 is configured to magnetically attract the mounting member 221 during the process of entering the receiving space 21, so that the mounting member 221 switches from the avoidance position to the docking position.

[0181] Specifically, the charging assembly 220 in this embodiment still includes a mounting member 221 and a charging member 222. The charging member 222 is mounted on the mounting member 221, and the two together form an integral sliding unit. The mounting member 221 is slidably mounted within the enclosure structure 211 in the aforementioned embodiment, and can slide relative to the enclosure structure 211 along a straight or approximately straight trajectory between a clearance position and a docking position. When the mounting member 221 slides relative to the enclosure structure 211, it has a clearance position and a docking position.

[0182] The sliding direction of the mounting component 221 can be perpendicular to the second direction in which the floor brush assembly 10 enters the accommodating space 21. When the mounting component 221 slides, the charging component 222 can extend or retract in a direction perpendicular to the path into which the floor brush assembly 10 enters, so as to avoid interference with the movement trajectory of the floor brush assembly 10.

[0183] During the process of the floor brush assembly 10 entering the accommodating space 21, the mounting part 221 is located in the avoidance position, and the charging part 222 is hidden inside the enclosure structure 211 or partially protrudes from the first opening 2111, so that the charging part 222 will not come into contact with the charging part 11 of the floor brush assembly 10, thereby avoiding the situation where the charging part 220 scrapes the outer wall of the floor brush assembly 10.

[0184] When the floor brush assembly 10 enters the receiving space 21 along the second direction and moves to the preset charging position, the floor brush assembly 10 and the mounting member 221 can generate a magnetic attraction force based on magnetic attraction. The magnetic attraction force can act on the mounting member 221 along the sliding direction of the mounting member 221, causing the mounting member 221 to slide towards the first opening 2111 until it switches to the docking position.

[0185] When the mounting component 221 is in the docking position, the mounting component 221 moves along the sliding direction to the side of the enclosure structure 211 near the first opening 2111. At this time, at least part of the charging component 222 protrudes from the enclosure structure 211 through the first opening 2111 and can dock with the charging part 11 of the brush assembly 10 located in the accommodating space 21.

[0186] In the second type of charging component in this embodiment, the mounting member 221 is slidably disposed within the enclosure structure 211. Under the magnetic attraction between itself and the floor brush assembly 10, the mounting member 221 can slide between a clearance position and a docking position, thereby causing the charging component 222 to extend or retract through the first opening 2111, thus satisfying the clearance and charging requirements of the charging component 220. Compared to the rotating mounting member 221, since the charging component 220 switches positions in a sliding manner, the movement of the mounting member 221 to the docking position is limited to only a single direction, avoiding interference from the tangential force generated by rotational movement. This ensures that the charging component 222 can directly and accurately contact the charging part 11 on the cleaning equipment, reducing lateral slippage or misalignment, thus helping to establish a more stable, lower-resistance electrical connection and improving the user experience.

[0187] For example, the sliding of the mounting component 221 relative to the enclosure structure 211 is achieved through a sliding pair mechanism. For instance, at least one guide rail is provided on the inner wall of the enclosure structure 211. Correspondingly, a slider is fixed on the back or side of the mounting component 221, which engages with the guide rail to form a sliding pair. Of course, the above structure can also be interchanged; that is, a groove or raised guide rail can be provided on the enclosure structure 211, while a corresponding groove or slider can be provided on the mounting component 221. Through the guide rail-slider engagement, precise linear motion constraints are provided for the mounting component 221, ensuring that it can only slide smoothly in a preset direction without deflection or jamming.

[0188] Based on the structure of the second charging assembly, to further ensure effective contact between the charging component 222 and the charging part 11 of the cleaning equipment when docked, in some embodiments, the assembly structure of the charging component 222 and the mounting component 221 is further defined.

[0189] Specifically, in the second type of charging assembly, the mounting component 221 is slidably connected to the enclosure structure 211, allowing the mounting component 221 to slide relative to the enclosure structure 211 and switch between a clearance position and a docking position. The mounting component 221 and the enclosure structure 211 can be connected via a groove-slider structure. For example, the enclosure structure 211 has a groove, and the mounting component 221 has a slider. The slider is slidably disposed within the groove, and the sliding engagement between the groove and the slider allows the mounting component 221 to slide relative to the enclosure structure 211.

[0190] Additionally, see Figure 19 After the charging component 222 is installed on the mounting component 221, at least a portion of the charging component 222 protrudes from the side of the mounting component 221 facing the accommodating space 21. That is, at least a portion of the charging component 222 protrudes from the enclosure structure 211 through the first opening 2111.

[0191] The end of the charging component 222 that protrudes from the enclosure structure 211 is the part that contacts the charging part 11 of the floor brush assembly 10. Since at least part of the charging component 222 protrudes from the enclosure structure 211, the distance between the charging component 222 and the charging part 11 is shortened, which facilitates the quick docking of the charging component 222 and the charging part 11 and helps to improve the docking reliability of the charging component 222 and the charging part 11.

[0192] Meanwhile, as the distance between the charging component 222 and the charging part 11 is shortened, the sliding stroke of the mounting component 221 can be shortened accordingly, which helps to reduce the activity space of the mounting component 221 within the enclosure structure 211 and simplify the sliding connection structure between the mounting component 221 and the enclosure structure 211.

[0193] When the mounting component 221 is in the clearance position, the entire mounting component 221 is located inside the enclosure structure 211 on the side away from the first opening 2111. At this time, although the charging component 222 protrudes from the side of the mounting component 221 facing the accommodating space 21, due to the initial position of the mounting component 221, most of the charging component 222 can be inside the sliding cavity or only a very small part protrudes from the first opening 2111 of the enclosure structure 211. In this way, even if there is a slight offset when the floor brush assembly 10 enters the accommodating space 21, it is not easy to touch the charging component 222 and cause wear, ensuring that the floor brush assembly 10 can enter smoothly.

[0194] When the floor brush assembly 10 enters the charging position and triggers magnetic attraction, the mounting piece 221 slides towards the docking position near the first opening 2111. The sliding stroke of the mounting piece 221 directly drives the charging piece 222 to move synchronously. Since the charging piece 222 already protrudes from the mounting piece 221, after sliding, it further protrudes beyond the length of the enclosure structure 211 through the first opening 2111, ultimately forming a length that meets the docking requirements. At this point, the portion of the charging piece 222 protruding from the enclosure structure 211 can dock with the charging section 11 embedded in the floor brush assembly 10.

[0195] In this embodiment, by having a charging component 222 that protrudes at least partially from the enclosure structure 211, the docking distance between the charging component 222 and the charging unit 11 can be shortened, thereby facilitating the docking of the end of the charging component 222 that extends outside the mounting component 221 with the charging unit 11.

[0196] In some embodiments, please continue to see Figure 19 When the mounting component 221 is in the mating position, at least a portion of the mounting component 221 slides into the first opening 2111.

[0197] Compared to the mounting member 221 not being able to slide into the first opening 2111, the mounting member 221 can slide into the first opening 2111, allowing the charging member 222 to protrude further into the accommodating space 21, that is, the length of the charging member 222 protruding from the enclosure structure 211 is further increased. Thus, by limiting the position of the mounting member 221 at the docking position, this embodiment can further reduce the distance between the charging member 222 and the charging unit 11, thereby facilitating the docking of the charging member 222 and the charging unit 11.

[0198] Meanwhile, in this embodiment, by partially sliding the mounting member 221 into the opening, the necessary travel of the mounting member 221 in the sliding cavity is shortened. It is not necessary to increase the total travel of the mounting member 221 in the inner cavity of the enclosure structure 211 to meet the docking requirements of the charging member 222. This can reduce the size of the inner cavity of the enclosure structure 211 and help improve the compactness of the product structure.

[0199] In addition, the inner wall of the first opening 2111 can form a lateral limit on the part of the mounting part 221 that slides into the opening, which is equivalent to adding an extra support point for the charging part 222, reducing the displacement caused by the force when the charging part 222 is connected, and extending the service life of the charging part 222.

[0200] In some embodiments, to achieve magnetic adsorption between the floor brush assembly 10 and the mounting member 221, both the first and second cleaning systems include a magnetic component. The magnetic component includes a magnetic element 223 and an adsorption element (not shown). One of the magnetic element 223 and the adsorption element is mounted on the sidewall of the floor brush assembly 10 in a first direction, and the other is mounted on the mounting member 221. For example, the magnetic element 223 is mounted on the sidewall of the floor brush assembly 10 in the first direction, and the adsorption element is mounted on the mounting member 221; or, the adsorption element is mounted on the sidewall of the floor brush assembly 10 in the first direction, and the magnetic element 223 is mounted on the mounting member 221.

[0201] During the process of the floor brush assembly 10 entering the receiving space 21, the magnetic component 223 and the adsorption component are magnetically attracted, thereby providing a driving force for the sliding of the mounting component 221, ensuring that the mounting component 221 can complete the position switching when the floor brush assembly 10 enters the charging position in the receiving space 21.

[0202] The magnetic component 223 is a magnetic structure and can be a permanent magnet with strong magnetic properties. The adsorption component can be a ferromagnetic metal block that does not actively generate a magnetic field, but can be magnetized by the magnetic field of the permanent magnet and generate an adsorption force. Furthermore, ferromagnetic metal components are easy to process and can be adapted to the structure of the floor brush assembly 10 or the mounting component 221.

[0203] The magnetic component's adsorption effect is synchronized with the process of the floor brush assembly 10 entering the accommodating space 21. As the cleaning device moves along the second direction and the floor brush assembly 10 gradually enters the accommodating space 21 of the base station 20, the distance between the magnetic component 223 on the first direction sidewall of the floor brush assembly 10 and the adsorption component on the mounting component 221 gradually decreases. In the initial stage of the floor brush assembly 10 entering the accommodating space 21, the distance between the magnetic component 223 and the adsorption component is greater than the effective adsorption range, and there is no obvious adsorption force. The mounting component 221 remains in the avoidance position, and the charging component 222 is hidden or slightly protrudes to avoid scratching the floor brush assembly 10.

[0204] As the floor brush assembly 10 continues to move and enters the charging position of the accommodating space 21, the distance between the magnetic component 223 and the adsorption component decreases to the effective adsorption range, the magnetic field strength is significantly increased, and the adsorption force rapidly increases to a level greater than the frictional force at the connection between the mounting component 221 and the enclosure structure 211. At this time, the adsorption force can act on the mounting component 221 in the first direction, driving the mounting component 221 to slide from the clearance position along the sliding cavity towards the first opening 2111. At the same time, the charging component 222 protrudes from the enclosure structure 211 and docks with the charging part 11 of the floor brush assembly 10.

[0205] In this embodiment, the position switching of the mounting component 221 is controlled by a magnetic component, thereby controlling the extension and retraction of the charging component 222. No additional drive components such as motors or cylinders are required; drive is achieved solely through magnetic attraction, reducing the number of parts and potential failure points, and improving the long-term reliability of the component. Furthermore, since the magnetic engagement between the magnetic components requires a certain distance adjustment, the magnetic components can control the trigger time for the magnetic engagement between the mounting component 221 and the floor brush assembly 10, preventing accidental activation that could cause the charging component 222 to extend ineffectively. This contributes to improving the reliability of the connection between the charging component 222 and the charging unit 11.

[0206] In some embodiments, the adsorption element is a magnetic structure. Since the magnetic element 223 is also a magnetic structure, the adsorption element and the magnetic element 223 can generate a bidirectional interaction force, which increases the magnetic attraction force between the adsorption element and the magnetic element 223, thereby increasing the magnetic attraction force of the floor brush assembly 10 on the mounting element 221, which helps the mounting element 221 to stably switch to the docking position.

[0207] Along the first direction, the magnetic structure and the magnetic component 223 have opposite magnetic properties on their opposite sides, meaning that their opposite sides are opposite magnetic poles. They can generate an attraction force by utilizing the attraction property of opposite poles in permanent magnets. Thus, the magnetic attraction between the adsorption component and the magnetic component 223 allows the mounting component 221 to slide out along the first direction and drive the charging component 222 to dock with the charging part 11 of the floor brush assembly 10.

[0208] If the magnetic component 223 is installed on the side wall of the floor brush assembly 10, and the side facing the mounting component 221 is set as the N pole, then the side of the magnetic structure facing the floor brush assembly 10 must be set as the S pole; conversely, if the opposite side of the magnetic component 223 is the S pole, then the opposite side of the magnetic structure must be set as the N pole.

[0209] The adsorption component can be made of the same type of permanent magnet material as the magnetic component 223, such as neodymium iron boron permanent magnets, to ensure consistent magnetic field strength attenuation characteristics and that the adsorption force matching degree does not decrease during long-term use.

[0210] See Figure 20 and Figure 21 In some embodiments, the magnetic element 223 is located within the mounting element 221 and is magnetically attracted to the adsorption element through the mounting element 221.

[0211] The magnetic component 223 is disposed inside the mounting component 221, thereby protecting it from external environmental corrosion, which helps it to be used in humid and dusty environments with high protection requirements and extends its service life.

[0212] In some embodiments, see Figure 22 and Figure 23 The mounting parts 221 of the first and second charging components each have mounting openings 2231 on the side facing the accommodating space 21, and at least a portion of the magnetic parts 223 are located in the mounting openings 2231 and are magnetically attracted to the adsorption parts.

[0213] The magnetic component 223 is installed within the mounting opening 2231 of the mounting component 221. The magnetic component 223 may be entirely located within the mounting opening 2231 or partially located within the mounting hole. The magnetic component 223 may be bonded to the mounting opening 2231. The side of the magnetic component 223 facing away from the receiving space 21 may be coated with structural adhesive and bonded to the inner wall of the mounting opening 2231, which helps to prevent the mounting component 221 from falling off the mounting opening 2231.

[0214] Since the mounting opening 2231 faces the receiving space 21, the magnetic component 223 can be exposed on the side facing the receiving space 21. Therefore, the magnetic component 223 is in an unobstructed state, reducing the loss of magnetic field transmission when the magnetic component 223 and the adsorbent are magnetically attracted. At the same time, if the magnetic component 223 partially protrudes from the mounting opening 2231, it is closer to the receiving space 21, thereby shortening the magnetic attraction distance between the magnetic component 223 and the adsorbent, which helps to increase the magnetic attraction force between the magnetic component 223 and the adsorbent.

[0215] Therefore, by placing the magnetic component 223 inside the mounting opening 2231, this embodiment helps to ensure the magnetic attraction between the magnetic component 223 and the adsorption component, and ensures that the mounting component 221 can stably rotate or slide from the clearance position to the docking position.

[0216] In some embodiments, see Figure 24 and Figure 25 The first charging component and the second charging component each have a first assembly cavity 225 in the mounting part 221. The charging component 222 is disposed in the first assembly cavity 225, and the end of the charging component 222 facing the accommodating space 21 extends to the outside of the mounting part 221.

[0217] The first assembly cavity 225 provides installation space for the charging component 222, allowing the charging component 222 to be installed on the mounting component 221. When the mounting component 221 is in the clearance position or rotating, the wall of the first assembly cavity 225 can, to a certain extent, wrap around and shield the charging component 222, reducing its direct contact with dust, moisture, or other foreign objects in the environment.

[0218] Mounting member 221 can serve as a guide structure for charging member 222, ensuring that charging member 222 contacts the charging section 11 on the floor brush assembly 10 at a preset rotation angle and position. One end of charging member 222 extends beyond the mounting member 221 towards the receiving space 21; that is, charging member 222 has a protruding end extending out of mounting member 221, and this protruding end faces the receiving space 21. For example, the protruding end of charging member 222 may face the first opening 2111.

[0219] Since the end of the charging component 222 facing the accommodating space 21 extends to the outside of the mounting component 221, when the mounting component 221 rotates to the docking position under the magnetic adsorption, the protruding end of the charging component 222 is more likely to dock with the charging part 11 on the cleaning equipment.

[0220] Furthermore, in some embodiments, see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 25 The first assembly cavity 225 has a first assembly groove 2251 communicating with the outside on the side facing the accommodating space 21, and the charging component 222 is disposed in the first assembly groove 2251.

[0221] The first type of charging component and the second type of charging component also include a first elastic member 226. The first elastic member 226 is sleeved on the outside of the charging component 222, and one end of the first elastic member 226 is clamped between the groove wall of the first mounting groove 2251 and the charging component 222, and the other end of the first elastic member 226 is connected to the mounting component 221.

[0222] At the instant that the charging component 222 moves (rotates or slides) to the docking position and contacts the charging part 11 of the floor brush assembly 10, the first elastic element 226 can undergo elastic deformation, effectively absorbing and buffering the contact impact force between the two, thereby avoiding physical damage caused by excessive instantaneous impact force, thus improving the durability and reliability of the component. At the same time, the buffering effect of the first elastic element 226 helps to reduce the noise that may be generated by hard collisions.

[0223] Furthermore, when the ground brush assembly 10 is located in the accommodating space 21, if there is a deviation between the stopping position of the ground brush assembly 10 and the charging position in the deformation direction of the first elastic member 226, there may be poor contact or excessive local pressure between the charging member 222 and the charging part 11. However, under the elastic action of the first elastic member 226, the charging member 222 can make a slight adaptive displacement in the deformation direction of the first elastic member 226, thereby ensuring that its end can make effective and stable contact with the charging part 11, thus ensuring the quality and stability of the electrical connection.

[0224] Meanwhile, this continuous elastic pressure ensures that the charging component 222 and the charging section 11 maintain stable and reliable contact throughout the entire charging cycle. Even if the device is subjected to slight vibration, the first elastic element 226 can continuously provide contact pressure to prevent momentary disconnection caused by vibration, thereby ensuring the continuity and safety of the charging process.

[0225] The first elastic element 226 is mainly used to provide buffering and restoring force along the moving direction of the charging element 222, and may include, but is not limited to, springs, bellows, silicone sleeves or other elastic components with compressive elasticity.

[0226] Please see Figure 24 In some embodiments, the first charging component and the second charging component further include a reset member 224, which is located on the side of the mounting member 221 facing the accommodating space 21, and the two ends of the reset member 224 abut against the inner walls of the mounting member 221 and the enclosure structure 211, respectively.

[0227] The reset component 224 provides a reset function for the mounting component 221, ensuring the reliability and stability of the charging assembly 220's operating cycle.

[0228] When the cleaning device is removed from the base station 20, the magnetic attraction force that drives the mounting component 221 to rotate to the docking position disappears. At this time, the compressed or twisted reset component 224 can release its stored elastic potential energy, generating a reset torque opposite to the direction of magnetic attraction. This torque will drive the mounting component 221 to rotate or move from the docking position to the clearance position, thereby automatically restoring the charging component 220 to its initial clearance state, preparing for the next smooth and scratch-free entry of the cleaning device into the receiving space 21.

[0229] The reset element 224 is mainly used to provide the torque or thrust for rotating the mounting element 221, and can also be an elastic structural component. For example, the reset element 224 can also be in the form of a tension spring, a compression spring, or a spring sheet. When a compression spring is used, it can be placed on one side of the mounting element 221 so that it is compressed when the mounting element 221 rotates, thereby accumulating reset energy. For another example, the reset element 224 can be a torsion spring, which can be fitted on the pivot between the mounting element 221 and the enclosure structure 211, with its two torsion arms abutting against the mounting element 221 and the enclosure structure 211 respectively, thereby providing a rotational reset torque.

[0230] In some embodiments, along the first direction, the base station body 210 is provided with a enclosure structure 211 on both sides of the accommodating space 21.

[0231] Accordingly, the first cleaning system and the second cleaning system each have two charging components 220, each including a positive charging component and a negative charging component. The mounting part 221 of one of the positive and negative charging components is located within one of the enclosure structures 211, and the mounting part 221 of the other is located within the other enclosure structure 211.

[0232] In conjunction with this, the floor brush assembly 10 of the cleaning equipment also has a charging section 11 on each of its two side walls in the first direction, for docking with the corresponding charging assembly 220. The floor brush assembly 10 has a charging section 11 on each of its two side walls in the first direction.

[0233] By placing the positive and negative charging components on opposite sides of the ground brush assembly 10, the current inflow and outflow paths are clearly defined. Compared to a single-sided arrangement, this helps avoid line congestion and electromagnetic interference. Simultaneously, this layout helps reduce circuit impedance, improves charging efficiency, and ensures more uniform heat distribution during charging, thereby enhancing the system's electrical safety and stability.

[0234] Secondly, when the ground brush assembly 10 enters the receiving space 21, the charging parts 11 on both sides will simultaneously be magnetically attracted to the mounting parts 221 inside the side enclosure structures 211. The combined attraction of the two sides of the ground brush assembly 10 helps to guide and correct the position of the ground brush assembly 10, positioning it in the charging position of the receiving space 21, thereby ensuring the smooth and accurate docking process between the ground brush assembly 10 and the base station 20.

[0235] In order to determine whether the floor brush assembly 10 has reached the charging position or to obtain the charging status of the floor brush assembly 10, in some embodiments, a signal connector 227 is also provided on the mounting member 221 of either the positive or negative charging assembly. Correspondingly, the enclosure structure 211 with the signal connector 227 has a second opening 2214.

[0236] Please see Figure 25 When the mounting component 221 is in the clearance position, the signal connector 227 is located inside the enclosure structure 211 where the mounting component 221 is located, so that it is protected during the process of cleaning equipment entering the warehouse and is protected from scratches.

[0237] Please see Figure 26 The brush assembly 10 also has a signal connection portion 12 on the side wall facing the signal connector 227. When the mounting member 221 is in the mating position, at least part of the signal connector 227 can protrude from the enclosure structure 211 through the second opening 2214 and can mate with the signal connection portion 12 of the brush assembly 10 located in the accommodating space 21.

[0238] When the mounting component 221 rotates from the clearance position to the docking position under the magnetic adsorption, the mounting component 221 will drive the signal connector 227 to move synchronously, so that at least part of the signal connector 227 protrudes from the inner surface of the enclosure structure 211 through the second opening 2214, and finally achieves physical docking with the signal connection part 12 on the floor brush assembly 10 located in the accommodating space 21.

[0239] The signal connector 227 can provide a physical contact feedback signal to the control system of the base station 20. This feedback signal indicates that the brush assembly 10 has accurately reached the preset charging position and that the charging assembly 220 has correctly switched to the docking position. Only after receiving this signal can the cleaning system start the charging program, effectively preventing electrical faults or safety accidents that may be caused by forced charging due to the equipment not being in place, thereby improving the safety of the cleaning system.

[0240] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the signal connector 227 can form a communication channel with the signal connector 12, enabling data exchange between the base station 20 and the cleaning equipment. Based on this, the base station 20 can acquire data such as the battery status and charging requirements of the cleaning equipment, thereby achieving intelligent adaptive charging management, such as adjusting the charging current according to the battery level.

[0241] In some embodiments, please continue to see Figure 24 and Figure 25 The mounting member 221, which is equipped with the signal connector 227, also has a second assembly cavity 228. The signal connector 227 is disposed in the second assembly cavity 228, and one end of the signal connector 227 facing the accommodating space 21 extends to the outside of the mounting member 221. That is, the signal connector 227 is built into the second assembly cavity 228 of the mounting member 221, and its end extends out of the mounting member 221.

[0242] The arrangement of the signal connector 227 is similar to that of the charging component 222 in the aforementioned embodiment. The second assembly cavity 228 provides installation space for the signal connector 227, allowing it to be installed on the mounting component 221. When the mounting component 221 is in the clearance position or rotating, the wall of the first assembly cavity 225 can, to a certain extent, wrap around and shield the signal connector 227, reducing its direct contact with dust, moisture, or other foreign objects in the environment.

[0243] Mounting member 221 can serve as a guide structure for signal connector 227, ensuring that signal connector 227 contacts the signal connection portion 12 on the floor brush assembly 10 at a preset rotation angle and position. The protruding end of signal connector 227 can face the second opening 2214 while also facing the receiving space 21. When mounting member 221 rotates to the docking position under magnetic adsorption, the signal connector 227 protrudes from mounting member 221 and faces the receiving space 21, making it easier for signal connector 227 to dock with the signal connection portion 12 on the cleaning equipment.

[0244] See Figure 25 In some embodiments, the second assembly cavity 228 has a second assembly groove 2281 communicating with the outside on the side facing the accommodating space 21, and the signal connector 227 is disposed in the second assembly groove 2281.

[0245] The charging assembly 220 also includes a second elastic member 229, which is sleeved on the outside of the signal connector 227. One end of the second elastic member 229 is clamped between the groove wall of the second mounting groove 2281 and the signal connector 227, and the other end of the second elastic member 229 is connected to the mounting member 221.

[0246] The signal connector 227 typically carries low-voltage communication or detection signals, and the stability of its connection directly affects the control system's judgment of the equipment status. The second elastic element 229 allows the signal connector 227 to elastically expand and contract axially during docking, similar to the charging element 222. This expansion and contraction of the second elastic element 229 effectively absorbs the mechanical impact during docking, reducing the degree of collision between the signal connector 227 and the signal connection part 12, and helping to increase the service life of the signal connector 227.

[0247] Meanwhile, during long-term use of the cleaning system, slight vibrations of the cleaning equipment or base may cause gaps to form between the signal connector 227 and the signal connection portion 12. In this embodiment, the elastic support of the second elastic member 229 compensates for displacement of the signal connector 227, ensuring a tight and continuous fit between the signal connector 227 and the signal connection portion 12 on the floor brush assembly 10. Therefore, the continuous pressure provided by the second elastic member 229 to the signal connector 227 ensures a stable connection between the signal connector 227 and the signal connection portion 12, thereby improving the reliability of the signal connection between the base station 20 and the cleaning equipment.

[0248] The second elastic element 229 can adopt the same structure and material as the first elastic element 226. For example, the second elastic element 229 can include, but is not limited to, a spring, a bellows, a silicone sleeve, or other elastomeric components with compressive elasticity.
