Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of cleaning equipment technology, and in particular to a window cleaning robot base station and a window cleaning robot cleaning system. Background Technology

[0002] Existing window cleaning robots can adhere to glass and use their own walking mechanism to drive the cleaning cloth to wipe away stains on the glass, thus cleaning the glass. However, after use, the cleaning cloth needs to be washed to keep it clean for subsequent use.

[0003] In related technologies, cleaning cloths are usually done manually. However, this method is difficult to guarantee thorough cleaning and cleanliness, and users need to come into contact with the dirt on the cloth, which is inconvenient. Chinese patent CN220512762U discloses a cloth cleaning device, but in this method, the user first needs to remove the cloth component from the window cleaning robot; second, remove the mounting carrier from the cloth cleaning device; and finally, combine the cloth component and the mounting carrier using magnetic adsorption, and then install the combined cloth component and mounting carrier into the cleaning device's housing for cleaning. This cleaning method is not only cumbersome, but also requires the user to manually remove the cloth component for drying after cleaning.

[0004] The aforementioned cloth washing equipment has cumbersome operating procedures, is difficult to miniaturize and make thinner, and is noisy during the washing process, which affects the user experience. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This application provides a window cleaning robot base station and a window cleaning robot cleaning system. The system is simple to operate, and can achieve miniaturization and thinning of the window cleaning robot base station, reduce working noise, and improve the user experience.

[0006] In a first aspect, this application provides a window cleaning robot base station for cleaning the wiping cloth assembly of a window cleaning robot. The wiping cloth assembly includes a wiping cloth and a wiping cloth support member. The wiping cloth support member has a first surface and a second surface facing away from each other. The first surface is used to mount the wiping cloth. The window cleaning robot base station includes:

[0007] The base station body has a accommodating space and an opening at the top of the base station body that connects the accommodating space to the external space.

[0008] A cleaning component, at least a portion of which is disposed within the accommodating space, is disposed opposite to the first surface, and the inner wall of the accommodating space abuts against at least a portion of the second surface to support the cleaning component during cleaning. The base station body is detachably connected to the cleaning component.

[0009] The second surface has an abutting portion against the inner wall of the accommodating space.

[0010] The abutting portion has a maximum projected length in the length direction of the base station body, and the projected length is not less than one-quarter of the extension length of the rag along the length direction of the base station body; or, the abutting portion has a maximum projected height in the height direction of the base station body, and the projected height is not less than one-quarter of the extension height of the rag along the height direction of the base station body.

[0011] A drive element configured to drive the cleaning assembly and / or the cloth assembly to generate relative movement between them.

[0012] In this application, the cleaning cloth assembly can be directly installed within the housing space of the window cleaning robot base station without the need for an additional installation carrier. This avoids the cumbersome installation and disassembly procedures before and after cleaning, simplifies the cleaning process, and improves cleaning efficiency. The housing space is connected to the external space of the base station body through an opening on the top of the base station body. Air exchange between the internal and external spaces is possible through the opening, allowing for natural ventilation and maintaining dryness within the housing space. This prevents the base station body and / or the cleaning cloth assembly from developing odors in a humid environment. The cleaning cloth assembly, after cleaning within the housing space of the window cleaning robot base station, can also be naturally air-dried without the need for manual removal and subsequent drying by the user, simplifying the operation and improving the user experience. The second surface of the cleaning cloth assembly abuts against the inner wall of the accommodating space, making the connections between the various parts of the window cleaning robot base station more compact. On the one hand, this reduces the space ratio of the window cleaning robot base station, which helps to make the design of the window cleaning robot base station smaller and thinner, and further reduces the material cost of the window cleaning robot base station. On the other hand, by directly abutting without setting up an additional detachable mounting carrier, the risk of relative movement during the cleaning process due to incorrect installation of the cleaning cloth assembly is reduced, thereby improving the safety of using the window cleaning robot base station and extending the service life of the cleaning cloth assembly. By setting the maximum projected length of the base station body along its length to be no less than one-quarter of the length of the cloth extending along the length of the base station body, or the maximum projected height of the base station body along its height to be no less than one-quarter of the height of the cloth, a reasonable contact area can be maintained between the cloth assembly and the inner wall of the accommodating space. On the one hand, this disperses the pressure applied by the cleaning assembly during cleaning, helping to effectively remove dirt and thus improving the cleaning effect. On the other hand, it avoids excessive pressure applied by the cleaning assembly to certain areas of the cloth assembly during cleaning, which could lead to localized wear of the cloth, thereby extending the cloth's lifespan. Furthermore, this design of the contact portion enhances the contact stability between the cloth assembly and the inner wall of the accommodating space, preventing displacement or detachment during cleaning and ensuring consistent cleaning results. The driving component drives the relative movement of the cloth assembly and / or the cleaning assembly, which can expand the cleaning range and improve the cleaning effect of the window cleaning robot base station on the cloth assembly. During the movement of the wipe assembly and / or cleaning assembly driven by the drive unit, the inner wall of the accommodating space abutting against the second surface provides surface support for the wipe assembly, ensuring a stable connection and reducing swaying of the wipe assembly during relative movement. This reduces noise from the window cleaning robot base station during cleaning, improving the user experience. Furthermore, the wipe assembly and base station body are detachably connected, facilitating the installation and removal of the wipe assembly and thus improving the working efficiency of the window cleaning robot base station.

[0013] As an optional implementation, the inner wall of the accommodating space is provided with a buckle, and the cloth assembly is detachably connected to the buckle.

[0014] In this application, the buckle limits the position of the cloth support, ensuring a stable connection between the cloth assembly and the base station body, and reducing the operating noise of the window cleaning robot base station.

[0015] As an optional implementation, the buckle is a flexible buckle.

[0016] In this application, during the installation of the cleaning cloth assembly into the accommodating space, at least a portion of the side of the cleaning cloth assembly slides along the elastic buckle. The elastic buckle restricts the movement of the cleaning cloth assembly along the length direction of the base station body, preventing installation errors. On one hand, after the cleaning cloth assembly is installed in place, the elastic buckle engages with the side of the cleaning cloth support facing the opening. Under the elastic force of the elastic buckle, it restricts the movement of the cleaning cloth assembly along the height and length directions of the base station body, preventing the cleaning cloth assembly from detaching from the inner wall of the accommodating space during cleaning, thereby improving the stability and safety of the window cleaning robot base station. On the other hand, the elastic buckle can be finely adjusted according to the shape and size of the cleaning cloth assembly, making it more universal for different models of cleaning cloth assemblies and increasing the versatility of the window cleaning robot base station.

[0017] As an optional implementation, the inner wall of the accommodating space is provided with a slot, and the wiping cloth assembly is detachably connected to the slot.

[0018] In this application, the cloth assembly can slide along the inner wall of the slot into the receiving space. The cloth assembly and the inner wall of the receiving space can be quickly connected through the slot, which also facilitates the removal of the cloth assembly from the receiving space. The cloth assembly is embedded in the inner wall of the slot, which restricts the movement of the cloth assembly within the receiving space and ensures that the second surface of the cloth support and the inner wall of the receiving space remain in contact, improving the utilization rate of the receiving space. This facilitates the overall miniaturization and thinning of the window cleaning robot base station. The stability of the connection between the cloth assembly and the inner wall of the receiving space through the slot is also improved, which can reduce the noise generated by the cloth assembly during cleaning and further enhance the user experience.

[0019] As an optional implementation, the card slot includes two slots, which are respectively disposed on two opposing inner walls within the accommodating space, and extend along the height direction of the base station body. The cleaning cloth assembly is detachably connected to the base station body via the two card slots.

[0020] In this application, the cleaning cloth assembly is connected to the base station body via two slots, which restrict the movement of the cleaning cloth assembly along the length of the base station body. Both slots extend along the height of the base station body, forming a guiding and connecting structure for the installation of the cleaning cloth assembly relative to the base station body, as well as a guiding and connecting structure for disassembly of the cleaning cloth assembly relative to the base station body, facilitating quick installation and disassembly of the cleaning cloth assembly. The increased effective contact area between the cleaning cloth assembly and the slots improves the connection stability between the cleaning cloth assembly and the base station body, reducing the probability of the cleaning cloth assembly accidentally dislodging from the slots during drive operation.

[0021] As an optional implementation, the base station body is provided with ventilation holes, which are disposed on the first side wall of the base station body opposite to the second surface, and the ventilation holes connect the accommodating space with the external space.

[0022] In this application, the ventilation holes and openings on the base station body are connected to the accommodating space, forming a path for airflow, thereby promoting airflow within the base station body. The wiping cloth component in the accommodating space can dry quickly after cleaning, reducing bacterial growth and odor generation. It can also effectively remove moisture and odors from the accommodating space, keeping the air inside the accommodating space fresh and improving the user experience.

[0023] As an optional implementation, the window cleaning robot base station also includes a fan; the fan is installed in the accommodating space, and the fan introduces airflow into the accommodating space through the ventilation hole and discharges it to the external space through the opening.

[0024] In this application, under the action of the fan, the speed at which air is drawn in on the side of the fan inlet increases, and the speed at which air is discharged on the side of the fan outlet increases. Therefore, the airflow speed inside and outside the containment space is increased, which can make the cleaned cloth assembly dry quickly and keep the containment space dry.

[0025] As an optional implementation, the fan is a heating fan; or, the window cleaning robot base station further includes a heating element disposed within the accommodating space. The heating fan or the heating element is used to convert the airflow into a heated airflow, which is used to dry the cleaned cloth assembly. The heated airflow passes through the cloth assembly and is then discharged into the external space via the opening.

[0026] In this application, by setting up a heating fan and / or heating element, the airflow temperature in the accommodating space is increased. On the one hand, by improving the drying efficiency and effect of the wiping cloth assembly and / or the accommodating space, the working cooling cycle of the window cleaning robot base station can be shortened. On the other hand, while reducing bacteria and microorganisms in the wiping cloth assembly and / or the accommodating space, it can also decompose and volatilize the odors in the wiping cloth assembly and / or the accommodating space, keeping the wiping cloth assembly and / or the accommodating space fresh.

[0027] As an optional implementation, the window cleaning robot base station further includes a fan housing located in the accommodating space and disposed between the wiping cloth assembly and the first side wall. The fan is mounted in the fan housing, and the fan housing has heat dissipation holes on the side facing the opening for cooling the fan. The fan housing also has an air inlet on the side facing the ventilation holes and an air outlet on the side facing the wiping cloth assembly. The fan draws airflow into the fan housing through the air inlet and discharges it from the fan housing through the air outlet.

[0028] In this application, the fan housing is installed within the accommodating space, and the fan is mounted within the fan housing. The fan housing protects the fan, resulting in a more compact connection between the various components of the window cleaning robot base station. This contributes to the miniaturization and thinning of the window cleaning robot base station. Furthermore, the fan housing provides surface support for the second surface of the cleaning cloth assembly during cleaning, making the connection between the cleaning cloth assembly and the base station body more stable. This reduces the swaying of the cleaning cloth assembly during relative movement, thereby reducing noise during the cleaning process and improving the user experience. Because the ventilation holes in the fan housing are oriented differently from the airflow direction, the heat generated by the fan during operation can be quickly dissipated through the ventilation holes, preventing the fan from overheating and shutting down, thus improving the fan's lifespan and working efficiency. In addition, the ventilation holes effectively dissipate the noise generated by the fan to the outside, reducing internal noise within the fan housing and further enhancing the user experience.

[0029] As an optional implementation, the cloth support has a perforated hole, and at least a portion of the orthographic projection of the fan onto the surface of the cloth support is located within the perforated hole.

[0030] In this application, the air outlet of the fan faces the second surface of the cloth support installed within the accommodating space. The fan introduces airflow into the accommodating space through ventilation holes on the base station body, and delivers airflow to the side where the cloth is mounted on the cloth support through the perforated holes. This keeps the side of the cloth in contact with the cloth support dry, preventing bacterial growth on a damp cloth, extending the cloth's lifespan, and also preventing the damp cloth from producing odors that would affect cleaning performance.

[0031] As an optional implementation, the cleaning component moves relative to the cloth component along the height direction of the base station body.

[0032] In this application, the cleaning component moves along the height of the base station body to effectively clean various positions of the cloth component along the length of the base station body. The cleaning component can focus on cleaning a specific area or portion of the cloth component relative to the height of the base station body to meet different cleaning needs of the cloth component. This single movement method of the cleaning component simplifies the motion control logic of the window cleaning robot base station, allowing users to operate the window cleaning robot base station and improving the user experience.

[0033] As an optional implementation, the cleaning component moves relative to the cloth component along the length of the base station body.

[0034] In this application, the cleaning component moves along the length of the base station body to effectively clean various positions of the cloth component along the length of the base station body. The cleaning component can focus on cleaning a specific area or portion of the cloth component relative to the length of the base station body to meet different cleaning needs of the cloth component. This single movement method of the cleaning component simplifies the motion control logic of the window cleaning robot base station, making it easier for users to operate the window cleaning robot base station and improving the user experience.

[0035] As an optional implementation, the window cleaning robot base station further includes a lifting component, at least a portion of which is disposed within the accommodating space and arranged along the height direction of the base station body. The cleaning component is movably connected to the base station body through the lifting component, and the driving component is configured to drive the cleaning component to perform linear reciprocating motion along the height direction of the base station body.

[0036] In this application, the cleaning component uses a lifting component to perform linear reciprocating motion along the height of the base station body within the accommodating space to clean the cleaning cloth component. The lifting component allows the cleaning component to move to any height, achieving all-round cleaning of the cleaning cloth component, reducing cleaning blind spots, and improving cleaning effect.

[0037] As an optional implementation, the lifting assembly includes a meshing gear and a rack. The gear is mounted on the cleaning assembly, and the rack is mounted on the inner wall of the accommodating space, extending along the height direction of the base station body. The output end of the drive unit is connected to the axle of the gear and drives the cleaning assembly to perform linear reciprocating motion on the rack to clean the cloth assembly.

[0038] In this application, gears and racks are installed on the inner wall of the accommodating space. This improves the utilization rate of the accommodating space while enabling the cleaning components to perform linear reciprocating motion along the height of the base station body. The compact connection of each component within the base station body contributes to the miniaturization of the window cleaning robot base station. The gear and rack transmission structure is simple and has a precise transmission ratio. Combined with the drive components, it ensures more precise control of the linear reciprocating motion of the cleaning components along the height of the base station body. Furthermore, the rack extending along the height of the inner wall of the accommodating space also acts as a reinforcing rib, improving the overall structural stability of the window cleaning robot base station and preventing it from shaking during operation.

[0039] As an optional implementation, the lifting assembly includes a pulley and a drive belt, with the pulley mounted on the drive belt and the cleaning assembly connected to the drive belt. The output end of the drive member is connected to the axle of the pulley and drives the cleaning assembly to perform linear reciprocating motion on the drive belt to clean the wiping cloth assembly.

[0040] In this application, the drive component, transmission belt and pulley cooperate to enable the cleaning component to make linear reciprocating motion along the height direction of the base station body. The transmission belt and pulley are driven by friction, resulting in low operating noise and high transmission efficiency for the window cleaning robot base station, which helps to reduce the system energy consumption of the window cleaning robot base station.

[0041] As an optional implementation, the cleaning component has an installation channel, and the drive member is installed in the installation channel; the gear is rotatably connected to an end of the cleaning component, the end having a through hole, and the output end of the drive member passes through the through hole and is connected to the gear.

[0042] In this application, the drive unit is connected to the mounting channel of the cleaning component and transmits power to the gear, realizing the movement of the cleaning component. It can also simplify the transmission structure between the drive unit and the gear, making it easier to realize the miniaturized design of the window cleaning robot base station.

[0043] As an optional implementation, the cleaning assembly includes a roller brush body and bristles, the bristles being mounted on the outer peripheral surface of the roller brush body and the bristles being press-fitted with the first surface; and / or, the cleaning assembly includes a roller brush body and a rubber sheet, the rubber sheet being mounted on the outer peripheral surface of the roller brush body and the rubber sheet being press-fitted with the first surface.

[0044] In this application, it is possible to ensure that the bristles and / or rubber sheet maintain a tight contact with the cloth of the cloth assembly, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the cleaning assembly on the cloth assembly.

[0045] As an optional implementation, the window cleaning robot base station further includes a liquid supply assembly located in the accommodating space. The liquid supply assembly includes a liquid storage container, a liquid supply pipe, and a drive pump. The inlet of the liquid supply pipe is connected to the liquid storage container, and the outlet of the liquid supply pipe is connected to the cleaning liquid chamber of the cleaning assembly. The drive pump is used to drive the cleaning liquid in the liquid storage container to flow to the cleaning liquid chamber.

[0046] In this application, the liquid storage device, the liquid supply pipe and the drive pump can pump the cleaning liquid in the liquid storage device to the cleaning liquid chamber of the cleaning component. The cleaning liquid is finally applied to the wiping assembly through the roller brush body, bristles and / or rubber, thereby realizing the automatic cleaning of the wiping assembly in the window cleaning robot base station.

[0047] As an optional implementation, the roller brush body has a cleaning liquid chamber, and the outer peripheral surface of the roller brush body has a cleaning liquid outlet, which communicates with the cleaning liquid chamber.

[0048] In this application, the outlet of the liquid supply pipe is connected to the cleaning liquid chamber of the roller brush body. The cleaning liquid in the liquid storage device is pumped to the roller brush body by the drive pump, and then flows to the wiping cloth assembly through the cleaning liquid outlet of the roller brush body, thereby realizing the cleaning of the wiping cloth assembly by the cleaning liquid and improving the cleaning effect of the wiping cloth assembly.

[0049] As an optional implementation, the cleaning assembly further includes a cleaning accessory mounted on the roller brush body, the cleaning accessory having the cleaning fluid chamber. The cleaning accessory has a cleaning fluid outlet on its side facing the roller brush body, the cleaning fluid outlet communicating with the cleaning fluid chamber.

[0050] In this application, the cleaning outlet is located on the cleaning accessory, allowing cleaning fluid to drip onto the roller brush body. The roller brush body then washes the cloth assembly, improving its cleaning effectiveness. The cleaning accessory is a replaceable and simple component, making cleaning and maintenance more convenient.

[0051] As an optional implementation, the window cleaning robot base station further includes a partition installed in the accommodating space, the partition dividing the accommodating space into a cleaning chamber, the wiping cloth assembly and the cleaning assembly both located in the cleaning chamber, and the opening communicating with at least the cleaning chamber.

[0052] In this application, the wiping cloth assembly and the cleaning assembly are installed in the cleaning chamber, making reasonable use of the accommodating space and realizing the modular design of the window cleaning robot base station, which helps to miniaturize the window cleaning robot base station.

[0053] As an optional implementation, the window cleaning robot base station further includes a control circuit board, which is electrically connected to the fan and the drive unit. The partition extends along the height direction of the base station body, dividing the accommodating space into an installation cavity; along the width direction of the base station body, the cleaning cavity and the installation cavity are arranged side-by-side, with the control circuit board located in the installation cavity.

[0054] In this application, the control circuit board enables effective control of the cleaning and drying operations of the window cleaning robot base station. A partition divides the accommodating space into independent cleaning and mounting chambers. The cleaning components and cloth components are mounted in the cleaning chamber, while the control circuit board is located in the mounting chamber. This achieves a modular design for the window cleaning robot base station. The partition also provides hydraulic and electrical isolation for the window cleaning robot base station, improving its circuit safety.

[0055] As an optional implementation, the window cleaning robot base station further includes a liquid supply assembly located in the mounting cavity, the liquid supply assembly including a liquid reservoir. The partition has a partition liquid chamber, a partition liquid inlet, and a partition liquid outlet. The partition liquid inlet is located on the side of the partition facing the mounting cavity and communicates with the liquid reservoir and the partition liquid chamber. The partition liquid outlet is located on the side of the partition facing the cleaning cloth assembly and communicates with the partition liquid chamber.

[0056] In this application, the liquid storage component delivers the cleaning fluid to the wiping cloth assembly and / or the cleaning assembly via a partition. This partition structure simplifies the connection between the liquid storage component and the partition, resulting in a more compact structure for the window cleaning robot base station, facilitating miniaturization and weight reduction. By eliminating some external connectors and pipes, vibration and noise generated by the various components of the window cleaning robot base station during operation can be reduced, improving the user experience.

[0057] As an optional implementation, the window cleaning robot base station further includes a waste liquid tank, which is disposed at the bottom of the base station body. The waste liquid tank has a waste liquid collection port, which faces at least towards the bottom of the cleaning cloth support.

[0058] In this application, the waste liquid tank is located at the bottom of the base station body, which lowers the center of gravity of the window cleaning robot base station, prevents it from tipping over during the cleaning process, and improves the structural stability of the window cleaning robot base station. The waste liquid tank collects waste liquid and the dirt cleaned out, keeping the environment inside the base station body clean.

[0059] As an optional implementation, a drainage channel is provided on the inner side wall of the base station body, the drainage channel extends along the height direction of the base station body, and the bottom end of the drainage channel is connected to the sewage collection port.

[0060] In this application, the diversion channel can quickly guide the sewage into the sewage tank, reducing sewage accumulation and improving sewage collection efficiency.

[0061] Secondly, this application provides a window cleaning robot base station for cleaning the wiping cloth assembly of a window cleaning robot. The wiping cloth assembly includes a wiping cloth and a wiping cloth support. The wiping cloth support has a first surface and a second surface facing away from each other. The first surface is used to mount the wiping cloth. The wiping cloth also includes a first edge and a second edge spaced apart. The window cleaning robot base station includes:

[0062] The base station body has a accommodating space and an opening at the top of the base station body that connects the accommodating space to the external space.

[0063] A cleaning component, at least a portion of which is disposed within the accommodating space, is disposed opposite to the first surface, and the inner wall of the accommodating space abuts against at least a portion of the second surface to support the cleaning component during cleaning. The base station body is detachably connected to the cleaning component.

[0064] A drive element configured to drive the cleaning assembly and / or the cloth assembly to generate relative movement between them.

[0065] When the cleaning component and / or the cloth component move relative to each other and perform a cleaning action on the cloth component, the cleaning component cleans at least a portion between the first edge and the second edge.

[0066] In this application, the cleaning cloth assembly can be directly installed within the housing space of the window cleaning robot base station without the need for an additional installation carrier. This avoids the cumbersome installation and disassembly procedures before and after cleaning, simplifies the cleaning process, and improves cleaning efficiency. The housing space is connected to the external space of the base station body through an opening on the top of the base station body. Air exchange between the internal and external spaces is possible through the opening, allowing for natural ventilation and maintaining dryness within the housing space. This prevents the base station body and / or the cleaning cloth assembly from developing odors in a humid environment. The cleaning cloth assembly, after cleaning within the housing space of the window cleaning robot base station, can also be naturally air-dried without requiring manual removal by the user, simplifying the operation and improving the user experience.

[0067] The second surface of the cleaning cloth assembly abuts against the inner wall of the accommodating space, making the connections between the various parts of the window cleaning robot base station more compact. On the one hand, this reduces the space ratio of the window cleaning robot base station, which helps to make the design of the window cleaning robot base station smaller and thinner, and further reduces the material cost of the window cleaning robot base station. On the other hand, by directly abutting without setting up an additional detachable mounting carrier, the risk of relative movement during the cleaning process due to incorrect installation of the cleaning cloth assembly is reduced, thereby improving the safety of using the window cleaning robot base station and extending the service life of the cleaning cloth assembly.

[0068] The driving component drives the relative movement of the cloth assembly and / or cleaning assembly, expanding the cleaning range and improving the cleaning effect of the window cleaning robot base station on the cloth assembly. During the movement of the cloth assembly and / or cleaning assembly, the inner wall of the accommodating space abutting the second surface provides surface support for the cloth assembly, ensuring stable connection and reducing swaying of the cloth assembly during relative movement. This reduces noise from the window cleaning robot base station during cleaning, improving the user experience. Furthermore, the cloth assembly and base station body are detachably connected, facilitating the installation and removal of the cloth assembly, thereby improving the working efficiency of the window cleaning robot base station.

[0069] The cleaning component cleans at least a portion of the first and second edges. On the one hand, the relative movement between the cleaning component and the cloth component generates stronger friction between the cleaning component and the edge portion of the cloth, preventing certain areas from being missed and thus reducing cleaning dead spots on the edge of the cloth, achieving uniform cleaning and enhancing the cleaning effect. On the other hand, the edge portion of the cloth is effectively cleaned by the cleaning component, avoiding the problem of the cleaned portion of the cloth being contaminated and the cleaning effect being reduced due to the cleaning liquid being sprayed evenly but not effectively cleaned.

[0070] Thirdly, this application provides a window cleaning robot system, including a window cleaning robot and a window cleaning robot base station as described in the first or second aspect, wherein the window cleaning robot base station is used to clean the wiping cloth assembly of the window cleaning robot.

[0071] The window cleaning robot system in this application, by including the window cleaning robot base station of the first aspect, enables the cleaning of the wiping cloth component of the window cleaning robot, and also enables the miniaturization and thinning of the window cleaning robot system, reducing costs, reducing noise, simplifying operation, and improving the user experience.

[0102] Existing window cleaning robots can adhere to glass and use their own walking mechanism to drive the cleaning cloth to wipe away stains on the glass, thus cleaning the glass. However, after use, the cleaning cloth needs to be washed to keep it clean for subsequent use.

[0103] In related technologies, cleaning cloths are typically done manually. However, this method is difficult to guarantee thorough cleaning and cleanliness, and users need to come into contact with the dirt on the cloth, which is inconvenient. For example, one cloth cleaning device disclosed in related technologies requires the user to first remove the cloth component from the window cleaning robot's main unit; second, remove the mounting carrier from the cloth cleaning device; and finally, magnetically attach the cloth component and the mounting carrier, and then install them together into the cleaning device's housing for cleaning. This cleaning method is not only cumbersome, but also requires the user to manually remove the cloth component for drying after cleaning.

[0104] The cloth washing equipment disclosed in the aforementioned related technologies has at least the following disadvantages:

[0105] (1) Since the rag assembly needs to be installed into the housing of the rag cleaning equipment through the installation carrier, the installation carrier occupies a certain amount of the internal space of the housing, and the installation carrier also needs to be connected to the housing through the connection structure. This results in the overall structure of the rag cleaning equipment being complex and having a large space ratio, making it difficult to achieve the miniaturization and thinning of the rag cleaning equipment.

[0106] (2) The installation of the carrier increases the overall cost of the cloth cleaning equipment.

[0107] (3) The installation carrier needs to be removed from the cloth cleaning equipment before the cloth assembly and the installation carrier are connected by magnetic adsorption. During the cleaning process of the cleaning component to the cloth assembly, the cloth assembly and the installation carrier are easy to detach from each other, and the cloth assembly is easy to shake in the box. On the one hand, the cloth assembly is damaged during the cleaning process, and on the other hand, it will generate a lot of noise during the cleaning process, affecting the user's experience.

[0108] (4) After the rag assembly is cleaned by the rag cleaning equipment, the user needs to manually remove the rag assembly and the installation carrier as a whole. After removing the rag assembly from the installation carrier, the rag needs to be dried, and then the installation carrier needs to be reinstalled into the rag cleaning equipment. The above cleaning steps are complicated. Users may be contaminated by contact with the undried rag assembly, resulting in a poor user experience.

[0109] This application provides a window cleaning robot base station and a window cleaning robot cleaning system, capable of cleaning the cleaning cloth component of the window cleaning robot and drying it without manual intervention. Compared to cloth washing equipment in related technologies, the window cleaning robot base station in this application:

[0110] (1) The wiping cloth component and the base station body of the window cleaning robot base station can be detachably connected, eliminating the need for an installation carrier. This solves the problem that the space ratio of the window cleaning robot base station is difficult to reduce and that miniaturization and thinning of the window cleaning robot base station are not easy to achieve.

[0111] (2) The wiping cloth component is directly connected to the base station body of the window cleaning robot base station. The wiping cloth component can be directly installed in the base station's storage space without the need for an additional installation carrier. This solves the problems of cumbersome installation and disassembly before and after cleaning, complicated wiping cloth cleaning steps, and increased costs.

[0112] (3) By abutting the second surface of the wiping assembly against the inner wall of the base station body of the window cleaning robot base station, the wiping assembly is supported by surface support during the cleaning process. The connection is stable, which can reduce the shaking of the wiping assembly in relative movement during the cleaning process. This can solve the problems of high working noise of the window cleaning robot base station and difficulty in improving the user experience.

[0113] (4) The top of the base station body of the window cleaning robot base station has an opening, the first side wall has a ventilation hole, and a fan is installed in the base station body. The fan and the base station body work together to form an airflow to dry the wiping cloth assembly, thereby solving the problem of needing to remove the wiping cloth assembly and the installation carrier, and then remove the wiping cloth assembly from the installation carrier to dry the wiping cloth, as well as the problem of users being contaminated by contact with the undried wiping cloth assembly.

[0114] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of the embodiments of this application more apparent and understandable, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0115] Combination Figures 1-7 As shown, firstly, the length direction of the base station body 110 is defined as the X direction; the width direction of the base station body 110 and the thickness direction of the wiping assembly 200 are defined as the Y direction; and the height direction of the base station body 110 is defined as the Z direction.

[0116] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a window cleaning robot base station 100, which can be used to clean the wiping cloth assembly 200 of the window cleaning robot. The window cleaning robot includes a window cleaning robot body and a wiping cloth assembly 200, which is detachably connected to the window cleaning robot body so that the wiping cloth assembly 200 can be removed from the window cleaning robot body and the wiping cloth 210 on the wiping cloth assembly 200 can be cleaned.

[0117] Specifically, the cleaning cloth assembly 200 includes a cleaning cloth 210 and a cleaning cloth support 220. The cleaning cloth support 220 has a first surface 221 and a second surface 222 disposed opposite to each other along the thickness direction (Y) of the cleaning cloth assembly 200. The first surface 221 is used to mount the cleaning cloth 210. When the cleaning cloth assembly 200 is connected to the window cleaning robot body, the second surface 222 of the cleaning cloth support 220 faces the window cleaning robot body. When the window cleaning robot base station 100 is used to clean the cleaning cloth assembly 200, the second surface 222 of the cleaning cloth support 220 is used to connect with the base station body 110 of the window cleaning robot base station 100.

[0118] It should be noted that the first surface 221 of the cloth support member 220 may be provided with multiple Velcro straps 223, and the cloth 210 is connected to the first surface 221 of the cloth support member 220 through the Velcro straps 223.

[0119] The window cleaning robot base station 100 in this embodiment includes: a base station body 110, a cleaning component 120, and a drive unit (not shown in the figure). The base station body 110 has a receiving space for installing the cleaning component 120. Within the receiving space, the cleaning component 120 cleans the cloth 210 of the cloth assembly 200. The top of the base station body 110 has an opening 118 that connects the receiving space to the external space, allowing for air exchange. This ensures natural ventilation and keeps the space dry, preventing odors from developing in a humid environment. The cloth assembly 200, after cleaning within the receiving space of the window cleaning robot base station 100, can also be naturally dried without requiring manual removal by the user. This simplifies the operation, prevents contamination from contact with undried cloth assemblies, and improves the user experience.

[0120] In this embodiment, at least a portion of the cleaning component 120 is disposed within the accommodating space. The cleaning component 120 is disposed opposite to the first surface 221 of the cloth support 220, and the inner wall of the accommodating space at least partially abuts against the second surface 222 of the cloth support 220 to support the cloth component 200 during the cleaning process. The base station body 110 is detachably connected to the cloth component 200.

[0121] The second surface 222 of the cloth assembly 200 abuts against the inner wall of the accommodating space, making the connections between the various parts of the window cleaning robot base station 100 more compact. This reduces the space ratio of the window cleaning robot base station 100, contributing to its miniaturization and thinner design, and further reducing its material cost. Compared to cloth cleaning devices in related technologies, the second surface 222 of the cloth assembly 200 in this embodiment directly abuts against the inner wall of the accommodating space through surface contact, eliminating the need for additional detachable mounting brackets. This avoids cumbersome installation and disassembly before and after cleaning, monitors the cleaning steps of the cloth 210, and improves the cleaning efficiency of the cloth 210. Simultaneously, it reduces the risk of damage to the cloth assembly 200 due to relative movement during cleaning caused by installation errors, improving the safety of the window cleaning robot base station 100 and extending its service life.

[0122] The inner wall of the accommodating space provides surface support for the cloth assembly 200, ensuring a stable connection between the cloth assembly 200 and the base station body 110. This reduces the swaying of the cloth assembly 200 during relative movement in the cleaning process, thereby reducing noise from the window cleaning robot base station 100 and improving the user experience. Furthermore, the cloth assembly 200 and the base station body 110 are detachably connected, facilitating the installation and removal of the cloth assembly 200 and thus improving the working efficiency of the window cleaning robot base station 100.

[0123] In this embodiment, the second surface 222 has an abutting portion with the inner wall of the accommodating space. It should be noted that the contact form between the abutting portion of the second surface 222 and the inner wall of the accommodating space can be point contact, line contact, or surface contact; this embodiment does not make specific requirements in this regard.

[0124] The contact portion has a maximum projected length in the longitudinal direction (X) of the base station body 110, and the maximum projected length is not less than one-quarter of the extension length of the cloth 210 in the longitudinal direction (X) of the base station body 110. This ensures that the cloth assembly 200 and the inner wall of the accommodating space maintain a reasonable contact area, dispersing the pressure applied by the cleaning component 120 during cleaning, which helps to effectively remove dirt and improve cleaning results. It also prevents excessive pressure from the cleaning component 120 on certain areas of the cloth assembly 200 during cleaning, thus avoiding localized wear of the cloth 210 and extending its service life. Furthermore, this contact portion enhances the contact stability between the cloth assembly 200 and the inner wall of the accommodating space, preventing displacement or detachment during cleaning and ensuring consistent cleaning results.

[0125] Alternatively, the contact portion may have a maximum projected height in the height direction (Z) of the base station body 110, and this maximum projected height may be no less than one-quarter of the extension height of the cloth 210 in the height direction (Z) of the base station body 110. This allows the cloth assembly 200 to maintain a reasonable contact area with the inner wall of the accommodating space, dispersing the pressure applied by the cleaning component 120 during cleaning, thus effectively removing dirt and improving cleaning results. It also prevents excessive pressure from the cleaning component 120 on certain areas of the cloth assembly 200 during cleaning, thus avoiding localized wear of the cloth 210 and extending its service life. Furthermore, this design of the contact portion enhances the contact stability between the cloth assembly 200 and the inner wall of the accommodating space, preventing displacement or detachment during cleaning and ensuring consistent cleaning results.

[0126] like Figure 3 As shown, one possible implementation method for the contact portion is as follows: A, B, C, and D are the contact points between the second surface 222 and the accommodating space; or, any two points among A, B, C, and D are the contact lines between the second surface 222 and the accommodating space; or, A, B, C, and D are the contact surfaces between the second surface 222 and the accommodating space. A, B, C, and D have four projection points in the length direction (X) of the base station body 110, then the maximum projection length in the length direction is a, and the maximum projection length a is not less than one-quarter of the extension length of the cloth 210 in the length direction (X) of the base station body 110; or, A, B, C, and D have four projection points in the height direction (Z) of the base station body 110, then the maximum projection height in the height direction is b, and the maximum projection height b is not less than one-quarter of the extension height of the cloth 210 in the height direction (Z) of the base station body 110.

[0127] The drive unit is configured to drive the cleaning assembly 120 and / or the cloth assembly 200 to generate relative movement between them. In this way, by driving the cleaning assembly 120 and / or the cloth assembly 200 to move, the cloth assembly 200 achieves efficient self-cleaning through the window cleaning robot base station 100.

[0128] It should be noted that the cloth assembly 200 is installed in the accommodating space, and the driving component can drive the cleaning assembly 120 to move only. The cleaning assembly 120 and the cloth 210 mounted on the first surface 221 of the cloth support 220 abut against each other. The driving component drives the cleaning assembly 120 to move relative to the first surface 221 of the cloth support 220 along the length direction (X) and / or height direction (Z) of the base station body 110. The cleaning assembly 120 and the cloth 210 clean the cloth 210 by mutual friction.

[0129] The driving component can also drive the wiping assembly 200 to move only, and ensure that the wiping cloth 210 on the first surface 221 of the wiping cloth support 220 and the cleaning component 120 abut against each other. The driving component drives the wiping cloth assembly 200 to move relative to the cleaning component 120 in the accommodating space along the height direction (Z) and / or length direction (X) of the base station body 110. In this way, the wiping cloth 210 is cleaned by friction between the wiping cloth 210 and the cleaning component 120.

[0130] In addition, the drive unit can simultaneously drive the cleaning component 120 and the cloth component 200 to move within the accommodating space, and the cleaning component 120 completes the cleaning of the cloth 210.

[0131] After the cleaning operation of the wiping cloth 210 is completed, the wiping cloth assembly 200 is detached and removed from the accommodating space of the base station body 110. The window cleaning robot base station 100 can then continue cleaning other wiping cloth assemblies 200. The cleaned wiping cloth assembly 200 can be installed on the window cleaning robot to complete subsequent window cleaning operations. In this way, the cleaning process of the wiping cloth assembly 200 by the window cleaning robot base station 100 is simple to operate and helps to improve the user experience.

[0132] The following describes the relevant structure for the detachable connection between the wiping cloth assembly 200 and the base station body 110.

[0133] Optional, see Figure 6 The inner wall of the accommodating space is provided with a buckle 111, and the cloth assembly 200 is detachably connected to the buckle 111. It is understood that the buckle 111 can protrude from the inner wall of the accommodating space to fix the cloth assembly 200 in the accommodating space and ensure that the second surface 222 of the cloth support 220 and the inner wall of the accommodating space at least partially abut against each other. In this way, the buckle 111 provides a limiting effect on the cloth support 220, ensuring a stable connection between the cloth assembly 200 and the base station body 110, and reducing the operating noise of the window cleaning robot base station 100.

[0134] It should be noted that the buckle 111 can be fitted into the first surface 221 of the cloth support 220 or the circumferential sidewall of the cloth support 220. In this embodiment of the application, no specific requirements are made for the fitting and connection position between the buckle 111 and the cloth support 220.

[0135] Optional, such as Figure 6As shown, the latch 111 can be an elastic latch 1111. The elastic latch 1111 can be disposed on the inner wall opposite to the base station body 110 in the width direction (Y) within the accommodating space. Alternatively, the elastic latch 1111 can also be disposed on the inner wall opposite to the second surface 222 of the accommodating space and the second surface 222 of the cloth support 220. The cloth assembly 200 enters the accommodating space through the opening 118. At least a portion of the side of the cloth assembly 200 can slide along the elastic latch 1111. The elastic latch 1111 can restrict the movement of the cloth assembly 200 in the length direction (X) of the base station body 110, preventing the cloth assembly 200 from being installed incorrectly. On the one hand, after the cloth assembly 200 is installed in place, the elastic buckle 1111 engages with the side of the cloth support 220 facing the opening 118. Under the elastic force of the elastic buckle 1111, the elastic buckle 1111 can restrict the cloth assembly 200 from moving along the height direction (Z) and length direction (X) of the base station body 110, preventing the cloth assembly 200 from detaching from the inner wall of the accommodating space during the cleaning process, thereby improving the stability and safety of the window cleaning robot base station 100. On the other hand, the elastic buckle 1111 can be finely adjusted according to the shape and size of the cloth assembly 200, making it more universal for different models of cloth assemblies 200 and increasing the versatility of the window cleaning robot base station 100.

[0136] See also Figure 6 The inner wall of the accommodating space may also be provided with a limiting post 119. The limiting post 119 extends along the length direction (X) of the base station body and protrudes from the inner wall of the accommodating space. The shape of the peripheral side wall of the limiting post 119 is adapted to part of the structure of the peripheral side wall of the wiping cloth support 220. When the wiping cloth assembly 200 is installed in the accommodating space, the limiting post 119 abuts against part of the side wall of the wiping cloth assembly 200 away from the opening. In this way, the limiting post 119 can support the wiping cloth assembly 200 along the height direction (Z) of the base station body 110.

[0137] During the installation of the cleaning cloth assembly 200 onto the base station body 110, the limiting post 119 ensures the installation position of the cleaning cloth assembly 200, preventing damage to the cleaning cloth assembly 200 and / or the window cleaning robot base station 100 due to installation errors, thereby extending the service life of the cleaning cloth assembly 200 and / or the window cleaning robot base station 100. Furthermore, the limiting post 119 restricts the movement of the cleaning cloth assembly 200 along the height direction of the base station body 110, so that the cleaning cloth assembly 200 can be stably installed in the accommodating space through the mutual cooperation of the buckle 111 and the limiting post 119.

[0138] Optional, see Figure 6The inner wall of the accommodating space can also be provided with a slot 112, and the cloth assembly 200 is detachably connected to the slot 112. In this way, the cloth assembly 200 can slide along the inner wall of the slot 112 into the accommodating space, and the cloth assembly 200 and the inner wall of the accommodating space can be quickly connected through the slot 112, which also facilitates the removal of the cloth assembly 200 from the accommodating space. The cloth assembly 200 is embedded in the inner wall of the slot 112, which restricts the movement of the cloth assembly 200 within the accommodating space and ensures that the second surface 222 of the cloth support 220 and the inner wall of the accommodating space remain in contact, improving the utilization rate of the accommodating space and facilitating the overall miniaturization and thinning of the window cleaning robot base station 100. The stability of the connection between the cloth assembly 200 and the inner wall of the accommodating space through the slot 112 is also improved, reducing the noise generated during the cleaning process and further enhancing the user experience.

[0139] Optionally, the card slot 112 includes two slots, which are respectively disposed on two opposite inner walls within the accommodating space, and the card slots 112 extend along the height direction (Z) of the base station body 110; the wiping cloth assembly 200 is detachably connected to the base station body 110 through the two card slots 112.

[0140] In this embodiment, two slots 112 are respectively disposed on two inner walls opposite each other along the length direction (X) of the accommodating space. When the wiping assembly 200 is connected to the base station body 110 through the two slots 112, the two slots 112 restrict the movement of the wiping assembly 200 along the length direction (X) of the base station body 110. Both slots 112 extend along the height direction (Z) of the base station body 110, forming a guide and connection structure for the installation and disassembly of the wiping assembly 200 relative to the base station body 110. This facilitates the quick installation and disassembly of the wiping assembly 200. The increased effective contact area between the wiping assembly 200 and the slots 112 improves the connection stability between the wiping assembly 200 and the base station body 110, reducing the probability of the wiping assembly 200 accidentally detaching along the height direction (Z) of the base station body 110 during cleaning.

[0141] The following section describes the relevant structure of the ventilation function of the window cleaning robot base station 100.

[0142] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 4In one optional embodiment, a ventilation hole 113 is provided on the base station body 110. The ventilation hole 113 is located on the first sidewall 114 of the base station body 110, which is opposite to the second surface 222. The ventilation hole 113 connects the accommodating space with the external space. Thus, both the ventilation hole 113 and the opening 118 on the base station body 110 are connected to the accommodating space, forming an airflow path: ventilation hole 113 - accommodating space - opening 118 of the base station body 110 - external space. This promotes airflow within the base station body 110, allowing the cleaning cloth assembly 200 in the accommodating space to dry quickly after cleaning, reducing bacterial growth and odor generation. It can also effectively remove moisture and odors from the accommodating space, keeping the air inside the accommodating space fresh and improving the user experience.

[0143] After cleaning, the cleaning cloth assembly 200 can remain in the storage space of the base station body 110 and air dry naturally under the action of airflow. Users no longer need to remove the cleaning cloth assembly 200 from the storage space of the base station body 110 to dry it, which improves the user experience and prevents users from being contaminated by contact with the undried cleaning cloth assembly 200.

[0144] The following describes the fan 115 and its related structures of the window cleaning robot base station 100.

[0145] See Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 The window cleaning robot base station 100 also includes a fan 115; the fan 115 is installed in the housing space, and the fan 115 introduces airflow into the housing space through the ventilation hole 113 and discharges it to the outside space through the opening 118.

[0146] Under the action of the fan 115, the speed at which air is drawn in on the side of the fan 115 intake increases, and the speed at which air is discharged on the side of the fan 115 exhausts increases. The airflow speed inside and outside the container increases, which allows the cleaned cloth assembly 200 to dry quickly and keeps the container dry.

[0147] It should be noted that this application does not specify the exact installation location of the fan 115 within the accommodating space, only that the fan 115 can introduce airflow from the ventilation hole 113 and discharge it from the opening 118.

[0148] Optionally, the fan 115 can be a heating fan; or, the window cleaning robot base station 100 also includes a heating element disposed within the accommodating space; the heating fan or heating element is used to convert the airflow into heated airflow, which is used to dry the cleaned cloth assembly 200. The heated airflow flows through the cloth assembly 200 and is discharged to the external space through the opening 118. In this embodiment, by setting the heating fan and / or heating element, the airflow temperature in the accommodating space is increased. By improving the drying efficiency and effect of the cloth assembly 200 and / or the accommodating space, the working cooling cycle of the window cleaning robot base station 100 can be shortened, bacteria and microorganisms in the cloth assembly 200 and / or the accommodating space can be reduced, and odors in the cloth assembly 200 and / or the accommodating space can be decomposed and volatilized, keeping the cloth assembly 200 and / or the accommodating space fresh.

[0149] Optionally, the window cleaning robot base station 100 in this embodiment may only include a heating fan. The heating fan can heat the airflow during the process of controlling the airflow. The heated airflow is thermally connected to the wiping cloth assembly 200 in the accommodating space, which can quickly dry the wiping cloth assembly 200 and / or the accommodating space.

[0150] Optionally, the window cleaning robot base station 100 in this embodiment may only include a heating element. The heating element heats the airflow in the base station body 110. The heated airflow is then heat-conducted to the wiping cloth assembly 200 and / or the accommodating space. The heat of the airflow acts on the inner wall of the wiping cloth assembly 200 and the accommodating space, thereby improving the drying efficiency of the wiping cloth assembly 200 and / or the accommodating space.

[0151] Of course, the heating fan and the heating element can both be installed in the accommodating space, and at least one of the heating fan and the heating element heats the airflow. In this way, the drying efficiency of the window cleaning robot base station 100 is better and the drying effect is better.

[0152] In some embodiments, the fan 115 can be an axial fan with its air inlet and ventilation hole 113 connected together, and its air outlet facing the cloth assembly 200. In this way, the airflow can be directed to the cloth assembly 200 through the axial fan to achieve the purpose of quickly drying the cloth assembly 200.

[0153] Optional, see Figure 1 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 , Figure 12The window cleaning robot base station 100 also includes a fan box 116, which is located in the accommodating space and along the width direction (Y) of the base station body 110. The fan box 116 is disposed between the wiping cloth assembly 200 and the first side wall 114. In this way, the accommodating space can be fully utilized, and the connection between each component and the base station body 110 is more compact, which helps to make the window cleaning robot base station 100 smaller and thinner.

[0154] In addition, the fan 115 is installed in the fan housing 116, which encloses and protects the fan 115, reducing the probability of damage and improving the safety and stability of the window cleaning robot base station 100. A heat dissipation hole 1161 is provided on the side of the fan housing facing the opening 118, used to dissipate heat and cool the fan 115. This allows the heat generated by the fan 115 during operation to be quickly dissipated through the heat dissipation hole 1161, preventing overheating and shutdown, and improving the fan's lifespan and working efficiency. The heat dissipation hole 1161 also effectively transmits the noise generated by the fan 115 to the outside, reducing internal noise within the fan housing 116 and improving the user experience.

[0155] In this embodiment, the fan housing 116 has an air inlet 1162 on the side facing the ventilation hole 113 and an air outlet 1163 on the side facing the wiping assembly 200. The fan 115 introduces airflow into the fan housing 116 through the air inlet 1162 and discharges it from the fan housing 116 through the air outlet 1163. Thus, the airflow flows sequentially through the ventilation hole 113, air inlet 1162, fan 115, air outlet 1163, and accommodating space. The airflow acts on the wiping assembly 200 and / or the accommodating space to quickly dry them. Furthermore, during the airflow process, some of the heat from the fan 115 is carried away, preventing the fan 115 from overheating and shutting down, thereby improving the overall safety of the window cleaning robot base station 100 and extending its service life.

[0156] See Figure 6 The buckle 111 and / or the slot 112 can be set on the side wall of the fan box 116 facing the cloth assembly 200. The cloth assembly 200 is detachably installed in the accommodating space through the buckle and / or the slot 112. The fan box 116 provides surface support for the second surface 222 of the cloth assembly 200 during the cleaning process. The connection between the cloth assembly 200 and the base station body 110 is more stable, which can reduce the shaking of the cloth assembly 200 in relative movement during the cleaning process, thereby reducing the noise of the window cleaning robot base station 100 during the cleaning process and improving the user experience.

[0157] The following describes the relevant structure of the ventilation function on the wiping cloth assembly 200 in conjunction with the window cleaning robot base station 100.

[0158] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 6 The cloth support 220 has a perforation 224, and at least a portion of the orthographic projection of the fan 115 onto the surface of the cloth support 220 is located within the perforation 224. Thus, the air outlet 1163 of the fan 115 faces the second surface 222 of the cloth support 220 installed within the accommodating space. In this way, the fan 115 introduces airflow into the accommodating space through the ventilation holes 113 on the base station body 110, and delivers airflow to the side of the cloth 210 mounted on the cloth support 220 through the perforation 224. This keeps the side of the cloth 210 in contact with the cloth support 220 dry, preventing bacterial growth on the damp cloth 210, extending its service life, and also preventing odors from the damp cloth, which would affect the cleaning effect.

[0159] It should be noted that the shape of the hollow hole 224 in this embodiment can be square, circular, etc. The orthographic projection of the fan 115 on the surface of the cloth support 220 can be partially or completely located within the hollow hole 224. This embodiment does not make specific requirements in this regard.

[0160] The cloth support 220 also has a vent mounting portion 225, on which a vent is provided. The vent extends through the cloth support 220 along the thickness direction (Y) of the cloth assembly 200. The vent mounting portion 225 is recessed relative to the first surface 221 of the cloth support 220. When the airflow flows within the accommodating space, part of the airflow acts on the cloth 210 through the vent, further improving the drying efficiency and effect of the cloth assembly 200.

[0161] The cleaning component 120 and the liquid supply component 150 of the window cleaning robot base station 100 will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0162] Optionally, the cleaning component 120 moves relative to the cloth component 200 along the height direction (Z) of the base station body 110. In this way, the cleaning component 120 moves along the height direction (Z) of the base station body 110 to effectively clean various positions of the cloth component 200 along the height direction (Z) of the base station body 110. The cleaning component 120 can also focus on cleaning a specific area or portion of the cloth component 200 relative to the height direction (Z) of the base station body 110, suitable for different cleaning needs of the cloth component 200. This single movement mode of the cleaning component 120 simplifies the motion control logic of the window cleaning robot base station 100, making it easier for users to operate the window cleaning robot base station 100.

[0163] Optionally, the cleaning component 120 can move relative to the cloth component 200 along the length direction (X) of the base station body 110. This allows for effective cleaning of various positions of the cloth component 200 along the length direction (X) of the base station body 110. The cleaning component 120 can also focus on cleaning a specific area or portion of the cloth component 200 along the length direction (X) of the base station body 110 to meet different cleaning needs of the cloth component 200. This single movement mode of the cleaning component 120 simplifies the motion control logic of the window cleaning robot base station 100, facilitates user operation of the window cleaning robot base station 100, and improves the user experience.

[0164] When the cleaning component 120 moves relative to the wiping cloth component 200 along the height direction (Z) of the base station body 110, in an optional embodiment, the window cleaning robot base station 100 includes a lifting component 140, at least a portion of the lifting component 140 is disposed within the accommodating space and is disposed along the height direction (Z) of the base station body 110, the cleaning component 120 is movably connected to the base station body 110 through the lifting component 140, and the driving component is configured to drive the cleaning component 120 to perform linear reciprocating motion along the height direction (Z) of the base station body 110.

[0165] In this embodiment, the cleaning component 120, driven by the driving component, reciprocates linearly along the height direction (Z) of the base station body 110 within the accommodating space via the lifting component 140 to clean the cloth component 200. The lifting component 140 is positioned along the height direction (Z) of the base station body 110, allowing the cleaning component 120 to move to any height, achieving omnidirectional cleaning of the cloth component 200, reducing cleaning blind spots, and improving cleaning effectiveness.

[0166] The lifting assembly 140 has various structures; as one optional implementation, such as... Figure 7 As shown, the lifting assembly 140 includes a gear 141 and a rack 142 that mesh with each other. The gear 141 is mounted on the cleaning assembly 120, and the rack 142 is mounted on the inner sidewall of the accommodating space. The rack 142 extends along the height direction (Z) of the base station body 110. The output end of the drive unit is connected to the axle of the gear 141 and drives the cleaning assembly 120 to perform linear reciprocating motion on the rack 142 to clean the cloth assembly 200.

[0167] In this embodiment, gear 141 and rack 142 are installed on the inner wall of the accommodating space. This improves the utilization rate of the accommodating space while enabling the cleaning component 120 to reciprocate along the height direction (Z) of the base station body 110. The compact connection of each component within the base station body 110 contributes to the miniaturization of the window cleaning robot base station 100. The transmission structure of gear 141 and rack 142 is simple and has a precise transmission ratio. Combined with the drive component, it ensures more precise control of the linear reciprocating motion of the cleaning component 120 along the height direction (Z) of the base station body 110. Furthermore, the rack 142, extending along the height direction (Z) of the base station body 110, also acts as a reinforcing rib, improving the overall structural stability of the window cleaning robot base station 100 and preventing it from shaking during operation.

[0168] In some alternative embodiments, the lifting assembly 140 includes a pulley and a drive belt. The pulley is mounted on the drive belt, and the cleaning assembly 120 is connected to the drive belt. The output end of the drive unit is connected to the axle of the pulley and drives the cleaning assembly 120 to perform linear reciprocating motion on the drive belt to clean the wiping cloth assembly 200. In this way, the drive unit, drive belt, and pulley cooperate to achieve linear reciprocating motion of the cleaning assembly 120 along the height direction (Z) of the base station body 110. Moreover, the drive belt and pulley are driven by friction, resulting in low operating noise and high transmission efficiency for the window cleaning robot base station 100, which helps to reduce the system energy consumption of the window cleaning robot base station 100.

[0169] When the cleaning component 120 reciprocates along the height direction (Z) of the base station body 110 within the accommodating space via gear 141 and rack 142. In an optional embodiment, the cleaning component 120 has a mounting channel, and a drive member is mounted in the mounting channel; gear 141 is rotatably connected to the end of the cleaning component 120, and the end has a through hole, through which the output end of the drive member passes and is connected to gear 141.

[0170] It is understood that the drive unit is connected to the mounting channel of the cleaning component 120 and transmits power to the gear 141 to drive the cleaning component 120 to move. It can also simplify the transmission structure between the drive unit and the gear 141, making it easier to realize the miniaturized design of the window cleaning robot base station 100.

[0171] It should be noted that the installation channel in this embodiment is disposed on the roller brush body 121 of the cleaning component 120. The specific structure of the cleaning component 120 will be described in detail in other parts. The installation channel can pass through both ends of the roller brush body 121 along the length direction (X). The drive component is installed in the installation channel. The output end of the drive component can be connected to the gear 141 through the through hole at the end of the installation channel. In this way, the drive component outputs circumferential motion to drive the gear 141 to move on the rack 142, thereby realizing the reciprocating motion of the cleaning component 120 along the height direction (Z) of the base station body 110.

[0172] For example, the driving component mentioned in the embodiments of this application can be a drive motor, which is connected to gear 141. Of course, the driving component can also be a drive motor and a reducer, with the output end of the drive motor connected to the input end of the reducer, and the output end of the reducer connected to gear 141. This allows the reducer to lower the output speed of the drive motor and accurately control the overall output speed of the driving component to adapt to different working requirements of the window cleaning robot base station 100.

[0173] Further, see Figure 7 The cleaning component 120 includes a roller brush body 121 and bristles 122. The bristles 122 are mounted on the outer peripheral surface of the roller brush body 121 and are press-fitted with the first surface 221. This ensures that the side of the bristles 122 facing away from the roller brush body 121 maintains a tight contact with the cloth 210 of the cloth assembly 200, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the cleaning component 120 on the cloth assembly 200.

[0174] Optionally, the cleaning assembly 120 includes a roller brush body 121 and a rubber sheet. The rubber sheet is mounted on the outer peripheral surface of the roller brush body 121 and is interference-fitted with the first surface 221. In this way, when the cleaning assembly 120 moves as a whole, the liquid on the cloth 210 can be squeezed out by the interference compression formed between the rubber sheet and the cloth assembly 200.

[0175] Of course, the cleaning component 120 in this embodiment may also include a roller brush body 121, bristles 122, and rubber. The bristles 122 may be strip-shaped and installed around the circumference of the roller brush body 121 at intervals. The rubber is also strip-shaped and located between two adjacent strip bristles 122, and connected to the roller brush body 121. Optionally, the bristles 122 may be ring-shaped and installed around the length direction (X) of the roller brush body 121 at intervals. The rubber is also ring-shaped and located between two adjacent ring bristles 122, and connected to the roller brush body 121.

[0176] In some embodiments, the window cleaning robot base station 100 also includes a liquid supply assembly 150 located in the accommodating space. Specifically, the liquid supply assembly 150 may be located in the mounting cavity 132.

[0177] Among them, combined Figure 7 , Figure 10 The liquid supply assembly 150 includes a liquid storage unit 151, a liquid supply pipe 152, and a drive pump 153. The inlet of the liquid supply pipe 152 is connected to the liquid storage unit 151, and the outlet of the liquid supply pipe 152 is connected to the cleaning liquid chamber of the cleaning assembly 120. The drive pump 153 is used to drive the cleaning liquid in the liquid storage unit 151 to flow to the cleaning liquid chamber.

[0178] For example, the liquid reservoir 151 can be detachably installed in the accommodating space as an independent component, so that the liquid reservoir 151 can be removed from the accommodating space, added with cleaning fluid, and then placed back into the accommodating space. Of course, the liquid reservoir 151 can also be fixedly connected to the accommodating space, and cleaning fluid can be added to the liquid reservoir 151 through an external pipe. This application embodiment does not make specific requirements in this regard.

[0179] Thus, the cleaning fluid in the storage container 151 can be pumped to the cleaning fluid chamber of the cleaning component 120 through the liquid storage component 151, the liquid supply pipe 152 and the drive pump 153. The cleaning fluid then acts on the wiping cloth component 200 through the roller brush body 121, the bristles 122 and / or the rubber, thereby realizing the automatic cleaning of the wiping cloth component 200 in the window cleaning robot base station 100.

[0180] It should be noted that the cleaning fluid in this embodiment can be water or cleaning agent, and the supply pipe 152 can be a rubber hose or a corrugated pipe. This embodiment does not make specific requirements in this regard.

[0181] Optionally, the roller brush body 121 has a cleaning liquid chamber, and the outer peripheral surface of the roller brush body 121 has a cleaning liquid outlet, which communicates with the cleaning liquid chamber. In this way, the outlet of the liquid supply pipe 152 is connected to the cleaning liquid chamber of the roller brush body 121, and the cleaning liquid in the liquid storage component 151 is pumped to the roller brush body 121 by the drive pump 153, and then flows to the wiping cloth assembly 200 through the cleaning liquid outlet of the roller brush body 121, and cleans the wiping cloth 210 of the wiping cloth assembly 200.

[0182] The cleaning assembly 120 may further include a cleaning accessory 123, which is mounted on the roller brush body 121, and a cleaning liquid chamber is located in the cleaning accessory 123. The cleaning accessory 123 has a cleaning liquid outlet on its side facing the roller brush body 121, and the cleaning liquid outlet communicates with the cleaning liquid chamber. Thus, the liquid supply assembly 150 can pump cleaning liquid into the cleaning liquid chamber of the cleaning accessory 123, causing the cleaning liquid to drip onto the roller brush body 121 and then act on the cloth 210 of the cloth assembly 200. In this embodiment, the cleaning accessory 123 is a replaceable and simple accessory, making cleaning and maintenance more convenient.

[0183] The structure of the partition 130 and the structure of the interaction between the partition 130 and other components of the window cleaning robot base station 100 will be described below.

[0184] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 7 , Figure 11 The window cleaning robot base station 100 in this embodiment of the application also includes a partition 130, which is installed in the accommodating space and divides the accommodating space into a cleaning chamber 131. The wiping cloth assembly 200 and the cleaning assembly 120 are both located in the cleaning chamber 131, and the opening 118 is at least in communication with the cleaning chamber 131.

[0185] In this way, the cloth assembly 200 is installed in the cleaning chamber 131 through the opening 118, and the cleaning assembly 120, the drive component and the lifting assembly 140 are also installed in the cleaning chamber 131. This makes reasonable use of the accommodating space and realizes the modular design of the window cleaning robot base station 100, which helps to miniaturize the window cleaning robot base station 100.

[0186] Optionally, the window cleaning robot base station 100 also includes a control circuit board, which is electrically connected to the fan 115 and the drive unit to control the start and stop of the fan 115 and the drive unit, thereby achieving effective control of the cleaning and drying operations of the window cleaning robot base station 100. When the window cleaning robot base station 100 includes a heating element, the control circuit board can also be electrically connected to the heating element to control parameters such as the heating efficiency or heating time of the heating element, thereby achieving the effect of controlling the drying process of the cloth assembly 200.

[0187] In this embodiment, the partition 130 extends along the height direction (Z) of the base station body 110, dividing the accommodating space into an installation cavity 132; along the width direction (Y) of the base station body 110, the cleaning cavity 131 and the installation cavity 132 are arranged side by side, and the control circuit board and the liquid supply assembly 150 are located in the installation cavity 132. In this way, different functional chambers are formed by the partition 130, and the cleaning and installation of the window cleaning robot base station 100 are divided according to function, realizing hydraulic and electrical isolation.

[0188] In another optional embodiment of the liquid supply assembly 150, the liquid supply assembly 150 is located in the mounting cavity 132 and includes a liquid storage component 151. The partition 130 has a partition liquid chamber, a partition liquid inlet, and a partition liquid outlet. The partition liquid inlet is located on the side of the partition 130 facing the mounting cavity 132 and communicates with the liquid storage component 151 and the partition liquid chamber; the partition liquid outlet is located on the side of the partition 130 facing the wiping cloth assembly 200 and communicates with the partition liquid chamber.

[0189] It should be noted that the liquid storage component 151, located in the mounting cavity 132, can be connected to the partition 130 or to the inner wall of the base station body 110. The partition liquid cavity can be a manifold structure or a liquid channel formed by a perforated structure.

[0190] The liquid storage component 151 and the partition inlet are connected by pipe fittings to form a flow path for the cleaning liquid: liquid storage component 151 - partition inlet - partition liquid chamber - partition outlet. The cleaning liquid eventually flows through the partition outlet to the wiping assembly 200 and / or cleaning assembly 120 in the cleaning chamber 131.

[0191] In this embodiment, the liquid storage component 151 can deliver cleaning fluid to the wiping cloth assembly 200 and / or the cleaning assembly 120 via the partition 130. This partition 130 design simplifies the connection between the liquid storage component 151 and the partition 130, resulting in a more compact structure for the window cleaning robot base station 100, facilitating miniaturization and weight reduction. By eliminating some external connectors and pipes, vibration and noise generated by the components of the window cleaning robot base station 100 during operation can be reduced, improving the user experience.

[0192] The following describes the relevant structure for waste collection in the window cleaning robot base station 100.

[0193] In some implementations, see Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 10 , Figure 11 The window cleaning robot base station 100 also includes a waste liquid tank 160, which is located at the bottom of the base station body 110. The waste liquid tank 160 has a waste liquid collection port, which faces at least towards the bottom of the cloth support 220. In this way, waste liquid and dirt cleaned out are collected through the waste liquid tank 160 to keep the environment inside the base station body 110 clean.

[0194] In this embodiment, the waste tank 160 is located at the bottom of the base station body 110, which can lower the center of gravity of the window cleaning robot base station 100, prevent the window cleaning robot base station 100 from tipping over during the cleaning process, and improve the structural stability of the window cleaning robot base station 100.

[0195] Optionally, the waste tank 160 and the base station body 110 are detachably connected to facilitate regular maintenance and cleaning of the waste tank 160. For example, a portion of the sidewall on the second sidewall 117 of the base station body 110 may be opened relative to the accommodating space, so that the user can remove the waste tank 160 from the base station body 110.

[0196] Alternatively, a portion of the second sidewall 117 of the base station body 110 is hinged to the bottom of the base station body 110, and the waste tank 160 is hung on the inner side of the second sidewall 117. When the second sidewall 117 rotates via the hinge shaft, the waste tank 160 can be detached from or enter the base station body 110. It should be noted that this application embodiment does not specify the detachable connection method between the waste tank 160 and the base station body 110.

[0197] As an optional implementation, a drainage channel is provided on the inner sidewall of the base station body 110. The drainage channel extends along the height direction (Z) of the base station body 110, and the bottom end of the drainage channel is connected to the sewage collection port. In this embodiment, the drainage channel can quickly guide the sewage into the sewage tank 160, reducing sewage accumulation and improving sewage collection efficiency.

[0198] The drainage channels can be located on the wall of the partition 130 facing the cleaning component 120, or on the wall of the fan box 116 facing the wiping cloth component 200, or on two opposing inner walls of the base station body 110 along its length (X). This embodiment does not specify these requirements. Thus, through the drainage channels on the inner wall of the base station body 110, wastewater can be guided from various locations within the cleaning chamber 131 to the wastewater tank 160 for centralized treatment, reducing wastewater residue in the cleaning chamber 131 and improving the cleaning effect of the window cleaning robot base station 100.

[0199] The window cleaning robot base station 100 provided in this application embodiment is used to clean the cleaning cloth assembly 200 of the window cleaning robot. The first surface 221 of the cleaning cloth assembly 200 is fitted with a cleaning cloth 210. The window cleaning robot base station 100 includes: a base station body 110, a cleaning assembly 120, and a driving member. The base station body 110 has an accommodating space, and the top of the base station body 110 has an opening 118 that connects the accommodating space to the external space. At least a portion of the cleaning assembly 120 is disposed within the accommodating space. The cleaning assembly 120 is disposed opposite to the first surface 221 of the cleaning cloth assembly 200. The inner wall of the accommodating space abuts against at least a portion of the second surface 222 to support the cleaning cloth assembly 200 during cleaning. The base station body 110 and the cleaning cloth assembly 200 are detachably connected. The driving member is configured to drive the cleaning assembly 120 and / or the cleaning cloth assembly 200 to generate relative movement between them. Thus, through this structural design, the window cleaning robot base station 100 can be miniaturized and lightweight, reducing the cost of the window cleaning robot base station 100, lowering the operating noise of the window cleaning robot base station 100, improving the user experience, realizing the cleaning and drying of the wiping cloth component 200 through the window cleaning robot base station 100, which is simple to operate and can also prevent users from touching the undried wiping cloth component 200 to avoid contamination of users.

[0200] Secondly, embodiments of this application may also provide a window cleaning robot base station 100 for cleaning the wiping cloth assembly 200 of the window cleaning robot. The window cleaning robot base station 100 includes: a base station body 110, a cleaning assembly 120, and a drive component.

[0201] The base station body 110 has a accommodating space, and the top of the base station body 110 has an opening 118 that connects the accommodating space to the external space.

[0202] At least a portion of the cleaning component 120 is disposed within the accommodating space. The cleaning component 120 is disposed opposite to the first surface 221. The inner wall of the accommodating space abuts against at least a portion of the second surface 222 to support the wiping component 200 during the cleaning process. The base station body 110 is detachably connected to the wiping component 200.

[0203] The drive unit is configured to drive the cleaning assembly 120 and / or the cloth assembly 200 to generate relative movement between them.

[0204] It should be noted that the structure and function of the base station body 110, cleaning component 120 and driving component in the window cleaning robot base station 100 provided in the second aspect of the present application have been described in detail in the aforementioned first aspect, and will not be repeated here.

[0205] Therefore, in this embodiment, the wiping cloth assembly 200 can be directly installed in the accommodating space of the window cleaning robot base station 100 without the need for an additional installation carrier. This avoids the cumbersome installation and disassembly actions before and after cleaning, simplifies the cleaning steps of the wiping cloth 210, and improves the cleaning efficiency of the wiping cloth 210. The accommodating space and the external space of the base station body 110 are interconnected through an opening 118 on the top of the base station body 110. The internal and external spaces of the accommodating space can exchange air through the opening 118, allowing the accommodating space to be naturally ventilated and kept dry, preventing the base station body 110 and / or the wiping cloth assembly 200 from producing odors in a humid environment. The wiping cloth assembly 200, after cleaning in the accommodating space of the window cleaning robot base station 100, can also be naturally dried without the user having to manually remove the wiping cloth assembly 200 before drying, simplifying the operation steps and improving the user experience.

[0206] The second surface of the cloth assembly 200 abuts against the inner wall of the accommodating space, making the connections between the various parts of the window cleaning robot base station 100 more compact. On the one hand, this reduces the space ratio of the window cleaning robot base station 100, contributing to its miniaturization and thinner design, and further reducing material costs. On the other hand, by directly abutting without the need for additional detachable mounting brackets, the risk of damage to the cloth assembly 200 due to installation errors during cleaning is reduced, improving the safety of use and extending its service life. The driving component drives the relative movement of the cloth assembly 200 and / or the cleaning assembly 120, expanding the cleaning range and improving the cleaning effect of the window cleaning robot base station 100 on the cloth assembly 200.

[0207] During the movement of the wiping assembly 200 and / or cleaning assembly 120 driven by the driving component, the inner wall of the accommodating space abutting against the second surface 222 provides surface support for the wiping assembly 200, ensuring a stable connection and reducing the swaying of the wiping assembly 200 during relative movement. This reduces the noise of the window cleaning robot base station 100 during cleaning, improving the user experience. Furthermore, the wiping assembly 200 and the base station body 110 are detachably connected, facilitating the installation and removal of the wiping assembly 200, thereby improving the working efficiency of the window cleaning robot base station 100.

[0208] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 6In an embodiment of the second aspect of this application, the wiping cloth assembly 200 includes a wiping cloth 210 and a wiping cloth support 220. The wiping cloth support 220 has a first surface 221 and a second surface 222 disposed opposite to each other. The first surface 221 is used to mount the wiping cloth 210. The wiping cloth 210 also includes a first edge 211 and a second edge 212 disposed at intervals.

[0209] When the cleaning component 120 and / or the cloth component 200 move relative to each other and a cleaning action is performed on the cloth component 200, the cleaning component 120 cleans at least a portion between the first edge 211 and the second edge 212.

[0210] In this way, the cleaning component 120 cleans at least a portion of the first edge 211 and the second edge 212. The relative movement between the cleaning component 120 and the cloth component 200 generates stronger friction between the cleaning component 120 and the edge portion of the cloth 210, preventing certain areas of the cloth 210 from being left uncleaned, thereby reducing cleaning dead corners at the edge of the cloth 210, achieving uniform cleaning and enhancing the cleaning effect. On the other hand, the edge portion of the cloth 210 is effectively cleaned by the cleaning component 120, avoiding the problem of the cleaned portion of the cloth 210 being contaminated and the cleaning effect being reduced due to the cleaning liquid being sprayed evenly by the cleaning component 120 but not being effectively cleaned.

[0211] It should be noted that in the embodiments of this application, the first edge 211 and the second edge 212 are spaced apart along the height direction of the base station body 110, or they can be spaced apart along the length direction of the base station body 110.

[0212] Thirdly, embodiments of this application also provide a window cleaning robot system, including a window cleaning robot and the window cleaning robot base station 100 provided in the first or second aspect above. The window cleaning robot base station 100 is used to clean the wiping cloth assembly 200 of the window cleaning robot.

[0213] For example, the window cleaning robot base station 100 can be used as a cleaning accessory for the window cleaning robot base station 100 to clean the wiping cloth assembly 200 of the window cleaning robot.

[0214] Optionally, the window cleaning robot base station 100 can also be equipped with a storage area for storing the window cleaning robot.

[0215] In one alternative implementation, the window cleaning robot base station 100 can also be electrically connected to the window cleaning robot to charge the window cleaning robot.

[0216] For example, the window cleaning robot base station 100 may include a controller, which is electrically connected to the window cleaning robot. The controller stores and / or designs relevant parameters such as the window cleaning operation path and working time of the window cleaning robot. The controller can also control the cleaning process of the cleaning cloth assembly 200 of the window cleaning robot base station 100.

[0217] The window cleaning robot system in this application embodiment includes a window cleaning robot base station 100 (either the first or second aspect), which enables the cleaning of the cleaning robot's cloth component 200. It also enables the window cleaning robot system to be miniaturized and made thinner, reducing costs, noise, and operation, thus reducing the risk of contamination to users and improving the user experience.
