Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure belongs to the field of cleaning equipment technology, specifically relating to a base station, cleaning equipment, and cleaning system. Background Technology

[0002] Cleaning systems typically consist of a base station and cleaning equipment. After the cleaning equipment returns to its original position, a dust collection process is initiated. The negative pressure generated by the dust collection fan draws dust, debris, and other waste from the cleaning equipment's dust cup into a dust bag or dust collection chamber inside the base station. However, during long-term use, the organic residue accumulated in the dust bag, under suitable temperature and humidity conditions, especially in humid climates, easily breeds mites, mosquitoes, mold, and bacteria, potentially causing hygiene problems. Currently, base station sterilization and pest control methods on the market typically use silver ion antibacterial materials and ultraviolet irradiation, but the effects are incomplete and short-lived, failing to effectively penetrate and kill insect eggs and microorganisms deep within the debris.

[0003] Therefore, in order to address the aforementioned technical problems, it is necessary to provide a base station, cleaning equipment, and a cleaning system. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this disclosure is to provide a base station, cleaning equipment, and cleaning system that can solve the problem that the cleaning effect of base stations using passive pest control and sterilization methods is limited.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this disclosure provides a base station adapted for cleaning equipment, as follows:

[0006] A base station adapted to a cleaning device includes: a dust collection module, including a dust collection space, wherein when the cleaning device is parked at the base station, the dust collection space can dock with the dust cup of the cleaning device; a hot air module, which can deliver heated airflow into the dust collection space through an air supply channel; and a barrier component, which can open or close the air supply channel; wherein, when the dust collection module is performing dust collection operations, the negative pressure generated in the dust collection space drives the barrier component to close the air supply channel.

[0007] In one or more embodiments of this disclosure, when the dust collection module is not performing dust collection operations, the barrier can be driven to open the air supply channel.

[0008] In one or more embodiments of this disclosure, the base station further includes a reset member connected to the barrier member, the reset member being capable of driving the barrier member to an open position.

[0009] In one or more embodiments of this disclosure, the hot air module includes a housing with an air vent through which airflow passes, and the space within the housing forms at least a portion of the air supply channel; the barrier pivotally engages with the air vent to open or close the air supply channel.

[0010] In one or more embodiments of this disclosure, the hot air module includes a blower that can drive airflow through the air supply channel; when the barrier is in the open position, the barrier is located in the space within the housing, and the force exerted by the airflow driven by the blower on the barrier is less than the force exerted by the barrier to open the air supply channel.

[0011] In one or more embodiments of this disclosure, in the height direction of the base station, the air outlet of the air supply channel is located at the bottom of the dust collection space, and the air outlet of the air supply channel faces upward.

[0012] In one or more embodiments of this disclosure, the air inlet of the air supply channel is connected to the external gas of the base station.

[0013] In one or more embodiments of this disclosure, the dust collection port of the dust collection space and the air outlet of the air supply channel are vertically misaligned on a plane perpendicular to the height direction of the base station.

[0014] In one or more embodiments of this disclosure, an insulation layer is provided within the dust collection space.

[0015] In one or more embodiments of this disclosure, the hot air module further includes a blower and a heating element, wherein the blower is used to deliver hot air heated by the heating element to the air outlet of the air supply channel, and the air outlet of the air supply channel is connected to the dust collection space.

[0016] A specific embodiment of this disclosure also provides a cleaning device adapted to the aforementioned base station, and the cleaning device includes a dust cup.

[0017] A specific embodiment of this disclosure also provides a cleaning system, including the aforementioned base station and the aforementioned cleaning equipment.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this disclosure, which differ from existing technologies, include:

[0019] In the base station of the cleaning equipment disclosed herein, when the hot air module is activated, it delivers heated airflow into the dust collection space through the air supply duct to deeply heat the waste within the dust collection space, thereby actively eliminating insects and bacteria. Compared to passive methods such as ultraviolet surface irradiation or chemical slow release, the solution disclosed herein provides a more thorough insect and bacteria elimination effect, effectively maintaining the cleanliness of the base station and a healthy indoor environment. Specifically, when the dust collection module is performing dust collection operations, the negative pressure generated within the dust collection space drives the blocking device to shut off the air supply duct, preventing dust from re-entering the air supply duct, thus ensuring the cleanliness and hygiene of the base station. Furthermore, since it does not require a drive source to open and close the blocking device, it effectively saves on the production cost of the base station.

[0020] In the base station of the cleaning equipment disclosed herein, when the dust collection module is not performing dust collection operations, the barrier can be driven to open the air supply channel, at which time the hot air module can operate independently, avoiding cross-contamination caused by its synchronous operation with the dust collection module.

[0021] In the base station of the cleaning equipment disclosed herein, the base station also includes a reset component connected to the barrier component, which can drive the barrier component to the open position. The reset component enables the barrier component to be normally open, so as to facilitate the smooth operation of the hot air module.

[0022] In the base station of the cleaning equipment disclosed herein, the hot air module includes a blower that drives airflow through an air delivery channel. When the baffle is in the open position, the baffle is located within the space of the housing, and the force exerted by the airflow driven by the blower on the baffle is less than the force exerted by the baffle to open the air delivery channel. By setting the magnitude of the force exerted by the blower on the baffle, it can be ensured that when the hot air module is running, the airflow will not drive the baffle to close, thus affecting the airflow into the dust collection space.

[0023] In the base station of the cleaning equipment disclosed herein, the air outlet of the air supply duct is located at the bottom of the dust collection space along the height direction of the base station, and the air outlet of the air supply duct faces upward. The air supply enters the dust collection space from bottom to top, following the principle of natural rising of hot air, which allows the hot airflow to fill the entire dust collection space more evenly. Since the air outlet is closer to the bottom of the dust collection space, it can quickly heat the deep-seated garbage at the bottom to achieve rapid insect removal and sterilization.

[0024] In the base station of the cleaning equipment disclosed herein, the air inlet of the air supply duct is connected to the external gas of the base station. In this case, the airflow of the base station corresponds to external circulation, which allows the heated airflow to flow through the dust collection space, thereby increasing the heating rate in the dust collection space and accelerating the insect removal and sterilization speed of the garbage in the dust collection space.

[0025] In the base station of the cleaning equipment disclosed herein, the dust collection port of the dust collection space and the air outlet of the air supply duct are vertically misaligned on a plane perpendicular to the height of the base station. This avoids the possibility that some debris entering the dust collection space may block the air outlet of the air supply duct during dust collection, thus preventing it from affecting subsequent heating and pest control operations.

[0026] In the base station of the cleaning equipment disclosed herein, an insulation layer is installed in the dust collection space. This layer can effectively increase the heating rate of the dust collection space in the early stage and effectively maintain the temperature of the dust collection space in the later stage, thereby further improving the efficiency of insect removal and sterilization.

[0035] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions in this disclosure, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this disclosure, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of this disclosure.

[0036] Cleaning systems typically consist of a base station and cleaning equipment. After the cleaning equipment returns to its original position, a dust collection process is initiated. The negative pressure generated by the dust collection fan draws dust, debris, and other waste from the dust cup of the cleaning equipment (such as a handheld vacuum cleaner) into a dust bag or dust collection chamber inside the base station. However, over long-term use, the organic residue accumulated in the dust bag, under suitable temperature and humidity conditions, especially in humid climates, easily breeds mites, insects, mold, and bacteria, potentially causing hygiene problems. Currently, base station sterilization and insect control on the market typically employ silver ion antibacterial materials and ultraviolet irradiation, but the effects are incomplete and short-lived, failing to effectively penetrate and kill insect eggs and microorganisms deep within the debris.

[0037] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 The present disclosure provides a base station 1 adapted to cleaning equipment, which can actively eliminate insects and sterilize, thus effectively ensuring the hygiene of the base station 1, thereby avoiding indoor hygiene problems caused by garbage in the base station 1, and ensuring the cleanliness of the user's living environment.

[0038] The base station 1 includes a dust collection module 11 and a hot air module 12. The hot air module 12 delivers heated airflow into the dust collection space 111 of the dust collection module 11 through the air supply channel 14 to actively heat the waste and use the high temperature to penetrate and kill mites, mosquitoes, mold, bacteria, etc. in the waste, thereby maintaining the cleanliness of the base station 1. Simultaneously, the base station 1 also includes a barrier 13, which can open or close the air supply channel 14, and the barrier 13 is configured to have the potential energy to open the air supply channel 14. When the dust collection module 11 is performing dust collection operations, the negative pressure generated in the dust collection space 111 drives the barrier 13 to close the air supply channel 14, preventing dust from re-entering the air supply channel 14, thus ensuring the cleanliness of the base station 1. Furthermore, since it does not require a driving source to drive the opening and closing of the barrier 13, it effectively saves on the production cost of the base station 1.

[0039] Furthermore, in order to avoid cross-contamination when operating synchronously with the dust collection module 11, in the base station 1 of the cleaning equipment disclosed herein, when the dust collection module 11 is not performing dust collection operations, the barrier 13 can be driven to open the air supply channel 14.

[0040] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the opening of the air supply channel 14 by the drive barrier 13 so that the hot air module 12 can operate smoothly, the base station 1 of the cleaning equipment disclosed herein also includes a reset member 15 connected to the barrier 13, which can drive the barrier 13 to the open position.

[0041] Furthermore, to ensure the reliability of the hot air module 12, in the base station 1 of the cleaning equipment of this disclosure, the hot air module 12 includes a blower 122, which drives airflow through the air supply channel 14. When the barrier 13 is in the open position, the barrier 13 is located in the space within the housing 121, and the force exerted by the airflow driven by the blower 122 on the barrier 13 is less than the force exerted by the barrier 13 to open the air supply channel 14. Therefore, when the blower 122 is running, the barrier 13 can be in the open position to allow airflow to enter the dust collection space 111.

[0042] Furthermore, to improve the heating effect on the waste in the dust collection space 111 and achieve rapid insect removal and sterilization, in the base station 1 of the cleaning equipment disclosed herein, the air outlet 141 of the air supply channel 14 is located at the bottom of the dust collection space 111 in the height direction of the base station 1, and the air outlet 141 of the air supply channel 14 faces upward. The air supply enters the dust collection space 111 from bottom to top, following the principle of the natural rise of hot air, which allows the hot air flow to fill the entire dust collection space 111 more evenly. Since the air outlet 141 is closer to the bottom of the dust collection space 111, it can quickly heat the deep waste deposited at the bottom to achieve rapid insect removal and sterilization.

[0043] Furthermore, in order to increase the heating rate within the dust collection space 111, the air inlet of the air supply duct 14 is connected to the external gas of the base station 1. In this case, the airflow of the base station 1 corresponds to external circulation, which allows the heated airflow to flow through the dust collection space 111, thereby increasing the heating rate and accelerating the insect removal and sterilization of the garbage within the dust collection space 111.

[0044] Furthermore, to ensure the smooth operation of the hot air module 12, in the base station 1 of the cleaning equipment disclosed herein, the dust collection port of the dust collection space 111 and the air outlet 141 of the air supply channel 14 are vertically misaligned on the plane perpendicular to the height of the base station 1. This avoids the situation where some garbage enters the dust collection space 111 and blocks the air outlet 141 of the air supply channel 14 during dust collection, thus preventing it from affecting subsequent heating operations.

[0045] Furthermore, to ensure the heating rate and heat preservation effect of the dust collection space 111, the base station 1 of the cleaning equipment disclosed herein is provided with a heat preservation layer inside the dust collection space 111. This can effectively increase the heating rate inside the dust collection space 111 in the early stage, and effectively maintain the temperature inside the dust collection space 111 in the later stage, further improving the efficiency of insect removal and sterilization.

[0046] The technical solutions of this disclosure are further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0047] In a first aspect, this disclosure provides a detailed embodiment of a base station adapted for cleaning equipment.

[0048] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 In one embodiment of this disclosure, the base station 1 adapted to the cleaning equipment includes a dust collection module 11, a hot air module 12, and a barrier component 13.

[0049] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The dust collection module 11 includes a dust collection space 111. When the cleaning device 2 is docked at the base station 1, the dust collection space 111 can connect with the dust cup 21 of the cleaning device 2 to perform dust collection operations. Specifically, the dust collection module 11 also includes a dust collection fan 112. A dust bag for temporarily storing the waste in the dust cup 21 of the cleaning device 2 can be installed in the dust collection space 111. When the dust collection fan 112 is running, it can create a negative pressure in the dust collection space 111 to suck the waste in the dust cup 21 into the dust bag in the dust collection space 111, thereby completing the dust collection operation. The dust collection space 111 is at least a part of the space inside the base station 1, and the remaining space can be used to store other cleaning accessories, etc.

[0050] Please refer to Figures 3 to 5 The hot air module 12 delivers heated airflow into the dust collection space 111 through the air supply channel 14. This heated airflow is specifically positioned at a preset temperature sufficient to kill mites, insect eggs, and most common bacteria, but below the tolerance temperature of the dust bag and base station 1 materials within the dust collection space 111. In this embodiment, the temperature of the air outlet 141 of the air supply channel 14 is approximately 90°C, and the temperature inside the dust collection space 111 is approximately 55°C, satisfying the aforementioned conditions of insect removal and sterilization while remaining below the tolerance temperature of the dust bag and base station materials. Therefore, when the hot air module 12 is activated, it delivers airflow at the preset temperature into the dust collection space 111 through the air supply channel 14, effectively heating the waste within the dust collection space 111 to actively remove insects and kill bacteria. Compared to passive methods such as ultraviolet surface irradiation or chemical slow release, the insect removal and sterilization effect of this disclosed solution is more thorough, effectively maintaining the cleanliness of the base station 1 and the hygiene of the indoor environment.

[0051] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5The hot air module 12 may include a housing 121, a blower 122, and a heating element 123. The housing 121 includes an air outlet through which airflow passes, and the space within the housing 121 constitutes at least a portion of the air supply channel 14. The air outlet can be adapted to the air outlet 141 and air inlet of the air supply channel 14. The blower 122 is used to deliver the airflow heated by the heating element 123 to the air outlet 141 of the air supply channel 14, which is connected to the dust collection space 111. Specifically, the blower 122 can be a blower, which can be located inside or outside the housing 121, as long as it can deliver airflow into the air supply channel 14; this disclosure does not impose any restrictions on this. The heating element 123 can be an electric heating wire, an electric heating plate, or other electric heating devices or non-electric heating devices, as long as it can heat the airflow. The heating element 123 can be installed inside or outside the housing 121, as long as it can work with the blower 122 to deliver airflow into the air delivery channel 14.

[0052] Please refer to Figures 2 to 5 In the height direction of base station 1, the air outlet 141 of the air supply duct 14 is located at the bottom of the dust collection space 111, and the air outlet 141 of the air supply duct 14 faces upward. Specifically, the height direction of base station 1 in this embodiment can be referred to... Figure 2 The direction corresponding to the X-axis. The airflow is introduced into the dust collection space 111 from bottom to top. Following the principle of the natural rise of hot air, the hot airflow can fill the entire dust collection space 111 more evenly. Since the air outlet 141 is closer to the bottom of the dust collection space 111, it can quickly heat the deep garbage deposited at the bottom to achieve rapid insect removal and sterilization.

[0053] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3In one embodiment, the air inlet of the air supply channel 14 can communicate with the external gas of the base station 1. The air inlet of the air supply channel 14 can be the connection point between the housing 121 and the air supply fan 122. Specifically, the base station 1 can include a housing with gaps between its housings to allow for external airflow circulation. In other embodiments, ventilation openings can also be provided on the housing to allow the air inlet of the air supply channel 14 to communicate with the external gas of the base station 1; this disclosure does not limit this. In the above design, airflow can enter the base station 1 from the outside and be heated to a preset temperature by the hot air module 12 before being sent into the dust collection space 111 to heat the waste inside, thereby achieving insect removal and sterilization. Since the airflow is set to external circulation, the heated airflow can flow through the dust collection space 111, thereby increasing the heating rate within the dust collection space 111. Compared to airflow which is only inside base station 1, it generally accumulates in the housing 121 of hot air module 12, causing the dust collection space 111 to not heat up quickly, thus affecting heating efficiency.

[0054] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The barrier 13 can open or close the air supply channel 14. Specifically, when the dust collection module 11 is performing dust collection operations, the negative pressure generated within the dust collection space 111 drives the barrier 13 to close the air supply channel 14. Utilizing the negative pressure generated by the dust collection module 11, the air supply channel 14 can be closed to prevent dust from re-entering, thus ensuring the cleanliness of the base station 1. Furthermore, since it does not require a drive source to open or close the barrier 13, it effectively saves on the production cost of the base station 1. When the dust collection module 11 is not performing dust collection operations, the barrier 13 can be driven to open the air supply channel 14, allowing the hot air module 12 to operate independently, avoiding cross-contamination caused by its simultaneous operation with the dust collection module 11.

[0055] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5The barrier 13 can pivotally engage with the air vent to open or close the air supply channel 14. Therefore, when negative pressure is generated within the dust collection space 111, the barrier 13 can rotatably close the air supply channel 14. At this time, the dust collection module 11 can operate independently, avoiding interference from the hot air module 12 and reducing cross-contamination of the hot air module 12. In this embodiment, since the air outlet 141 of the air supply channel 14 is located at the bottom of the dust collection space 111, closing the air supply channel 14 with the barrier 13 also prevents debris from entering the housing 121 of the hot air module 12 during dust collection, thereby avoiding contamination of the hot air module 12 and improving the cleanliness of the base station 1. The aforementioned pivotal engagement of the barrier 13 with the air vent to open or close the air supply channel 14 is only an exemplary form. In other embodiments, the barrier 13 can also be moved horizontally closer to or further away from the air vent to cooperate in opening or closing the air supply channel 14. This disclosure does not limit this.

[0056] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The base station 1 also includes a reset member 15 connected to the barrier member 13, which can drive the barrier member 13 to the open position. Specifically, the reset member 15 can be a torsion spring, and the barrier member 13 can be correspondingly provided with a pivot shaft 16. The torsion spring is installed on the pivot shaft 16 so that the barrier member 13 is in the open position by means of elastic force. In other embodiments, the reset member 15 can also be a magnet installed between the barrier member 13 and the housing 121, which drives the barrier member 13 to the open position by magnetic force. In yet another embodiment, the base station 1 may not be provided with a reset member 15, and the barrier member 13 may be eccentrically arranged so that it is in the open position under its own gravity. This disclosure does not limit this.

[0057] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The hot air module's blower 122 drives airflow through the air supply channel 14. When the barrier 13 is in the open position, it is located within the space of the housing 121. The force exerted by the airflow driven by the blower 122 on the barrier 13 is less than the force that drives the barrier 13 to open the air supply channel 14. The force that drives the barrier 13 to open the air supply channel 14 can be the elastic force or magnetic force of the reset member 15 on the barrier 13, or the gravity of the barrier 13 itself; this disclosure does not limit this. In this embodiment, by setting the magnitudes of the forces exerted by the blower 122 and the reset member 15 on the barrier 13, it can be ensured that when the hot air module 12 is running, the airflow will not drive the barrier 13 to close, thus not affecting the airflow entering the dust collection space 111.

[0058] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3On a plane perpendicular to the height of base station 1, the dust collection port of dust collection space 111 and the air outlet 141 of air supply channel 14 are offset in projection. The dust collection port of dust collection space 111 is located at the top of dust collection space 111. Therefore, when dust collection module 11 is operating, it can prevent some debris from entering dust collection space 111 and clogging the air outlet 141 of air supply channel 14, thus avoiding interference with subsequent heating operations. For example, the air outlet 141 of air supply channel 14 can be located at the bottom edge of dust collection space 111 to prevent debris from clogging the air outlet 141 and to prevent debris from falling into air supply channel 14 and causing cross-contamination.

[0059] Please refer to Figure 2 The dust collection space 111 is equipped with an insulation layer. This layer can effectively increase the heating rate of the dust collection space 111 in the early stage and effectively maintain the temperature of the dust collection space 111 in the later stage, thereby further improving the efficiency of insect removal and sterilization.

[0060] After the dust collection operation is completed, the user can automatically / manually activate the hot air module 12, opening the air inlet / outlet 141. External airflow is drawn in by the blower 122, and the airflow is heated by the heating element 123, then smoothly blown into the dust collection space 111 through the outlet 141 of the air supply channel 14. This insect removal and sterilization process can operate during the standby period of the base station 1, achieving hygienic management of the waste in the dust bags within the dust collection space 111.

[0061] In summary, the base station 1 disclosed herein can deliver heated airflow into the dust collection space 111 via the hot air module 12, which can deeply heat the garbage in the dust collection space 111 to actively eliminate insects and bacteria, thus maintaining the cleanliness of the base station 1 and ensuring the cleanliness of the user's living environment. Furthermore, the negative pressure created by the dust collection module 11 within the dust collection space 111 during operation, in conjunction with the barrier component 13, allows the hot air module 12 and the dust collection module 11 to operate independently without interference, reducing cross-contamination and ensuring the cleanliness of the base station 1.

[0062] Secondly, this disclosure provides a detailed description of a cleaning device.

[0063] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment of this disclosure, the cleaning device is adapted to the aforementioned base station 1, and the cleaning device 2 includes a dust cup 21. The dust collection space 111 can dock with the dust cup 21 of the cleaning device 2 to perform dust collection operations. When the cleaning device 2 is adapted to the base station 1, the base station 1 can perform dust collection operations or perform internal pest control and sterilization.

[0064] Thirdly, this disclosure provides a detailed description of a cleaning system.
