[0018] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0019] With the popularization of intelligent garden equipment, lawnmowers have been widely used in lawn mowing operations. After working outdoors for a period of time, the wheels of lawnmowers often become covered with a lot of dirt such as mud, grass, and sand. As the lawnmower moves, the dirty wheels end up in the lawnmower cleaning station, which is used to clean the wheels of the lawnmower.

[0020] Please see Figures 1 to 6The present invention provides a lawnmower cleaning station 100, which includes: a base station body 10, a controller 20, multiple lifting components 30 and cleaning components 40. The base station body 10 has a cleaning station 11; when the lawnmower enters the cleaning station 11, the cleaning function is triggered.

[0021] The controller 20 is connected to the base station body 10, making full use of the internal space of the base station body 10. Optionally, the controller 20 is an electronic component with a circuit board and serves as an independent electronic control module. The controller 20 is electrically connected to multiple lifting components 30 via a first conductive line and controls the lifting of the multiple lifting components 30.

[0022] The controller 20 can be built into the base station body 10 or placed outside the base station body 10. When the controller 20 is built into the base station body 10, the base station body 10 has a first accommodating space, the controller 20 is accommodated in the first accommodating space and is protected by the outer layer of the base station body 10.

[0023] Please see Figures 1 to 6 When the controller 20 is placed outside the base station body 10, the controller 20 is attached to the outer wall of the base station body 10 and exposed to the outer space of the base station body 10, so as to facilitate the user to operate the controller 20; the controller 20 is equipped with corresponding buttons, which can also be operated by the user.

[0024] Multiple lifting components 30 are connected to the base station body 10 and arranged relative to the cleaning station 11; all multiple lifting components 30 are electrically connected to the controller 20 and can lift synchronously or independently under the control of the controller 20; at this time, the multiple lifting components 30 are electrically connected to the controller 20 through a first conductive wire, the first conductive wire passes through the wire passage of the base station body 10, and makes full use of the wire passage of the base station body 10 to ensure the electrical connection effect between the multiple lifting components 30 and the controller 20.

[0025] Please see Figures 1 to 5 Each lifting assembly 30 includes a lifting member 31. During the lifting process, the lifting member 31 can lift the wheels of the lawnmower at the cleaning station 11. The lifting member 31 can be a column structure or a support arm structure. The lifting member 31 moves up and down relative to the base station body 10. When the base station body 10 is placed on the ground, the lifting member 31 moves up and down in the vertical direction. The top of the lifting member 31 can directly contact the chassis of the lawnmower at the cleaning station 11, and lift the wheels of the lawnmower during the lifting process, creating a gap between the wheels and the surface of the base station body 10 forming the cleaning station 11, facilitating subsequent cleaning of the lawnmower wheels or chassis. Optionally, the lifting member 31 can also be a square structure; this is not limited here.

[0026] The lifting component 31 is controlled by the controller 20. When the controller 20 controls the synchronous lifting mode, it quickly lifts the wheels of the lawnmower. When encountering heavy dirt or special needs, it switches to the independent lifting mode for local fine-tuning operations. While ensuring cleaning quality, it saves working time. At the same time, the controller 20 independently controls multiple lifting components 30, making each lifting component 31 an independent degree of freedom, adapting to different vehicle models and cleaning needs. This avoids the situation where multiple wheels can only be lifted at the same time and can only be adapted to one type of vehicle, thus improving the versatility of the lawnmower cleaning station 100.

[0027] Furthermore, multiple lifting components 30 are electrically connected to the controller 20 and can be raised and lowered synchronously or independently under the control of the controller 20. Each lifting component 30 includes a lifting element 31, which can lift the wheels of the lawnmower at the cleaning station 11 during the lifting process, thereby raising the wheels of the lawnmower so that the cleaning component 40 can clean the wheels. At the same time, multiple lifting components 30 are controlled by the controller 20 to achieve synchronous or independent lifting and lowering. Each lifting element 31 has an independent degree of freedom to adapt to different vehicle models and cleaning needs, avoiding the situation where multiple wheels can only be raised and lowered at the same time and can only be adapted to one type of vehicle, thus improving the versatility of the lawnmower cleaning station 100.

[0028] refer to Figure 5 In the first embodiment, each lifting component 30 further includes a first mounting base 32 and a first power module 33. The first mounting base 32 is connected to the base station body 10 and serves as the bearing base of the lifting component 30. The lifting member 31 is vertically and vertically inserted through the first mounting base 32. When the lifting member 31 moves up and down, the inner hole or guide structure of the first mounting base 32 limits and guides the lifting member 31, forcing the lifting member 31 to only move in a straight reciprocating motion along the vertical direction. This prevents the lifting member 31 from deviating, shaking, or jamming when subjected to force, ensuring the stability and reliability of the lifting action of the lifting member 31, so that the lawnmower chassis can be lifted. The first power module 33 is connected to the lifting member 31, and the driving force of the first power module 33 is transmitted to the lifting member 31 to facilitate the automatic lifting of the lifting member 31.

[0029] The first power module 33 is electrically connected to the controller 20 so that the first power module 33 can receive electrical signal commands from the controller 20. This allows the controller 20 to control the lifting component 31 to lift and lower via the first power module 33, thus automating the lifting action. The controller 20 controls the start and stop of the first power module 33 according to the positioning signal of the lawnmower. This eliminates the need for manual handling or lifting of the lawnmower, improving the working efficiency and intelligence of the lawnmower cleaning station 100.

[0030] In the first embodiment, the first mounting base 32 is provided with a first receiving cavity 32a; the first mounting base 32 is connected to a rotating base 321, which is accommodated in the first receiving cavity 32a, so that the rotating base 321 can make full use of the internal space of the first mounting base 32. The rotating base 321 rotates along its own axis under the drive of the first power module 33, so as to realize the automatic rotation of the rotating base 321; the lifting member 31 is screwed to the rotating base 321 and moves up and down in the vertical direction as the rotating base 321 rotates, so that the lifting member 31 can realize the lifting through the threaded connection.

[0031] refer to Figure 7-10 In the second embodiment, each lifting component 30 further includes a second mounting base 34, a power motor 35, a transmission module 36, and a lead screw 37. The second mounting base 34 is connected to the base station body 10 and serves as a support base for each lifting component 30. One end of the transmission module 36 is connected to one end of the power motor 35, and the other end of the transmission module 36 is connected to the lead screw 37, so that the power output by the power motor 35 can be transmitted to the lead screw 37 through the transmission module 36, thereby facilitating the automatic rotation of the lead screw 37. The lifting component 31 is sleeved on the lead screw 37. The lifting component 31 is guided and connected to the second mounting base 34. When the lead screw 37 rotates, the lifting component 31 is guided and restricted from rotating by the second mounting base 34, preventing the lifting component 31 from rotating with the lead screw 37. This converts the rotational motion of the lead screw 37 into linear motion, so that the lifting component 31 can rise or fall along the axis of the lead screw 37, thereby facilitating the lifting component 31 to raise or lower the lawnmower chassis.

[0032] In the second embodiment, the second mounting base 34 is provided with a guide groove 34a; the guide groove 34a is arranged along the lifting direction of the lifting member 31; each lifting component 30 also includes a guide module 38, the guide module 38 includes a connecting rod 381 and a guide wheel 382, ​​the connecting rod 381 is connected to one side or opposite sides of the lifting member 31; the guide wheel 382 is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 381; the guide wheel 382 is located in the guide groove 34a, the side walls of the guide groove 34a restrict the degree of freedom of movement of the guide wheel 382 in the left and right and front and back directions, forcing the guide wheel 382 to only roll in a straight line along the vertical trajectory of the guide groove 34a, which improves the lifting smoothness of the lifting member 31, and at the same time reduces mechanical wear and extends the service life of the lifting component 30.

[0033] In this embodiment, the lawnmower cleaning station 100 also includes a sensor 50, which is electrically connected to the controller 20 and connected to the lifting component 31. The sensor 50 is used to sense the chassis of the lawnmower and output a sensing signal to the controller 20, so that the lifting component 30 lifts the wheels of the lawnmower under the action of the controller 20. When the lawnmower autonomously enters the cleaning station 11, the sensor 50 can automatically capture the wheel information and output a signal without any manual intervention, triggering the execution of subsequent actions, realizing the fully automatic triggering of lawnmower cleaning upon arrival, and improving the level of unmanned operation.

[0034] At this time, the sensor 50 is electrically connected to the controller 20 through the second conductive wire. The second conductive wire and the first conductive wire are both passed through the same base station body 10 and are located at different positions on the base station body 10. The second conductive wire contacts the second potential of the controller 20, and the first conductive wire contacts the first potential of the controller 20.

[0035] The sensor 50 is detachably mounted on the base station body 10 and serves as an independent sensing module, allowing for easy replacement of the sensor 50 relative to the base station body 10. The base station body 10 has a second receiving space, which, along with the first receiving space, is located at different positions within the base station body 10. The sensor 50 is housed within the second receiving space and has a sensing end exposed on the surface of the base station body 10 forming the cleaning station 11. The sensing end of the sensor 50 can sense the wheels of a lawnmower located at the cleaning station 11. Optionally, the sensor 50 can be an infrared sensor; this is not limited to this specific application.

[0036] Meanwhile, the sensor 50 is disposed on one side of the lifting assembly 30. The sensor 50 is arranged in the vertical direction, with the sensing end of the sensor 50 facing upwards. It is used to sense the wheels of the lawnmower at the cleaning station 11. When the wheels of the lawnmower are sensed by the sensor 50, the sensor 50 outputs a corresponding sensing signal to the controller 20. After receiving the sensing signal, the controller 20 outputs a corresponding signal to the corresponding lifting assembly 30 so that multiple lifting assemblies 30 can lift synchronously or independently.

[0037] Optionally, four lifting components 30 are provided, forming a four-point support matrix to prevent the lawnmower from tilting or tipping over due to a shift in the center of gravity, ensuring the stability of the lawnmower during lifting and hovering. The base station body 10 has two front wheel bearing areas 10a and two rear wheel bearing areas 10b. Two lifting components 30 are located on the base station body 10 and between and close to the two front wheel bearing areas 10a. The other two lifting components 30 are located on the base station body 10 and between and close to the two rear wheel bearing areas 10b, so that the lifting components 31 avoid the outer side of the wheels and the side of the chassis, leaving working space for the cleaning components 40 and enabling cleaning of the wheels and chassis.

[0038] refer to Figures 1 to 3 The cleaning component 40 includes a rotating spray arm 41 rotatably connected to the base station body 10. The rotating spray arm 41 is positioned in the central or side areas of the cleaning station 11. When the rotating spray arm 41 is positioned in the central area of ​​the cleaning station 11, it provides large-area coverage of the lawnmower chassis, with the jet spreading outwards from the center, resulting in a short rinsing path and strong impact. When the rotating spray arm 41 is positioned in the side areas of the cleaning station 11, it can directly target the cleaning dead spots on the wheel body, wheel hub sides, and chassis sides. The side-attacking layout ensures no blind spots in rinsing. Optionally, the rotating spray arm 41 can rotate relative to the base station body 10 via a rotating shaft, and the rotating spray arm 41 is connected to an external water channel.

[0039] The rotating spray arm 41 is equipped with multiple first nozzles 411 for spraying cleaning media. This allows the cleaning media to enter the rotating spray arm 41 and have its pressure energy converted into high-speed kinetic energy through the first nozzles 411, resulting in a jet that is sprayed onto the raised wheels and chassis of the lawnmower. The powerful impact breaks up and peels away dirt and grass stems adhering to the chassis. Simultaneously, the multiple first nozzles 411 are offset at different angles on the rotating spray arm 41; as the rotating spray arm 41 rotates once, multiple jets operate simultaneously, increasing the cleaning area and shortening the cleaning cycle.

[0040] In addition, the base station body 10 has two front wheel bearing areas 10a and two rear wheel bearing areas 10b; the cleaning component 40 includes a fixed spray arm 42 fixedly connected to the base station body 10, and the fixed spray arm 42 is provided with multiple second nozzles 421 for spraying cleaning media; a fixed spray arm 42 is provided between the front wheel bearing area 10a and the rear wheel bearing area 10b on the same side. When the lawnmower is lifted and suspended by four lifting components 30, the second nozzles 421 of the two fixed spray arms 42 on the left and right sides continuously spray the chassis and the inner side of the wheels from the middle of the side of the lawnmower along the longitudinal direction of the chassis. Through long-term concentrated erosion, stubborn dirt is completely broken through and peeled off. Optionally, the fixed spray arm 42 is connected to the base station body 10 through a fixed seat, and the fixed spray arm 42 is connected to an external water channel.

[0041] In addition, the base station body 10 has two front wheel bearing areas 10a and two rear wheel bearing areas 10b; each front wheel bearing area 10a and each rear wheel bearing area 10b is equipped with a wheel cleaning component 43. The wheel cleaning component 43 includes a wheel nozzle 431, which is equipped with a third nozzle 432 for spraying cleaning medium onto the wheel of the lawnmower. This allows the third nozzle 432 to target the wheel at close range, and the high-pressure water jet cuts directly into the tread grooves of the wheel like a water jet, using the impact force to forcibly remove the mud. As the wheel rotates, the water jet aimed at the tire tread becomes a sweeping jet, allowing for 360° washing of the entire wheel without rotating the nozzle, thus improving the cleaning effect. Optionally, the wheel nozzle 431 is connected to an external water channel.

[0042] At this time, the rotating spray arm 41, the fixed spray arm 42 and the wheel cleaning component 43 are located at different positions on the base station body 10 and are connected to independent water channels. Each water channel is connected to a water distribution box or a corresponding control valve. At the same time, the base station body 10 is connected to a water tank, which is connected to the rotating spray arm 41, the fixed spray arm 42 and the wheel cleaning component 43 through each water channel.

[0043] Please see Figures 1 to 6 In the embodiments of this application, the lawnmower cleaning station 100 also includes a pressure sensor 60, which is connected to the lifting member 31 and can monitor the wheel contact state when the lifting member 31 lifts the lawnmower wheel. At this time, the pressure sensor 60 is integrated on the top of the lifting member 31.

[0044] Pressure sensor 60 is electrically connected to controller 20, and then electrically connected to cleaning assembly 40 via controller 20. Pressure sensor 60 is also electrically connected to controller 20 via a third conductive wire, which contacts the third potential of controller 20. When pressure sensor 60 detects substantial contact pressure between lifting component 31 and the wheel, it outputs a corresponding pressure signal to controller 20. Controller 20, upon receiving the pressure signal, outputs a signal to cleaning assembly 40, triggering cleaning assembly 40 to begin cleaning. Cleaning stops immediately upon disengagement, reducing the idle rate of lawnmower cleaning station 100 and extending the service life of cleaning assembly 40. Optionally, pressure sensor 60 is detachably connected to lifting component 31 and can be replaced relative to lifting component 31.

[0045] The base station body 10 also includes a sewage channel, which is set on the surface of the cleaning station 11 in the base station body 10 and recovers the liquid that has escaped from the wheel body, thereby realizing the recovery of sewage and ensuring the cleanliness of the surface of the cleaning station 11 in the base station body 10, and preventing the liquid that has escaped from the wheel body from accumulating on the surface of the cleaning station 11 in the base station body 10.

[0046] Meanwhile, a control method for a lawnmower cleaning station 100 is applied to the lawnmower cleaning station 100; the control method for the lawnmower cleaning station 100 includes: When the lawnmower enters the cleaning station 11 of the base station body 10, each lifting component 30 synchronously lifts the chassis of the lawnmower under the action of the controller 20; or, at least two sets of lifting components 30 lift the chassis of the lawnmower one after another under the action of the controller 20; or, at least one set of lifting components 30 lifts the chassis of the lawnmower under the action of the controller 20, so that the front wheel or rear wheel of the lawnmower is suspended in the air. The cleaning component 40 cleans the wheels and / or chassis of the lawnmower.

[0047] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: This invention provides a lawnmower cleaning station 100, in which multiple lifting components 30 are electrically connected to a controller 20. Each lifting component 30 includes a lifting element 31, which is used to lift the chassis of the lawnmower in the cleaning station 11, thereby lifting the wheels of the lawnmower so that the cleaning component 40 can clean the wheels or chassis. At the same time, the multiple lifting components 30 are controlled by the controller 20 to achieve synchronous or independent lifting. Each lifting element 31 has an independent degree of freedom, adapting to different vehicle models and cleaning needs, thus improving the versatility of the lawnmower cleaning station 100.

[0048] A control method for a lawnmower cleaning station 100, applied to the lawnmower cleaning station 100; the control method for the lawnmower cleaning station 100 includes: When the lawnmower enters the cleaning station 11 of the base station body 10, each lifting component 30 synchronously lifts the chassis of the lawnmower under the action of the controller 20; or, at least two sets of lifting components 30 lift the chassis of the lawnmower one after another under the action of the controller 20; or, at least one set of lifting components 30 lifts the chassis of the lawnmower under the action of the controller 20, so that the front wheel or rear wheel of the lawnmower is suspended in the air. The cleaning component 40 cleans the wheels and / or chassis of the lawnmower.

[0049] At this time, multiple lifting components 30 are electrically connected to the controller 20 and can be raised and lowered synchronously or independently under the control of the controller 20. Each lifting component 30 includes a lifting element 31, which can lift the chassis of the lawnmower in the cleaning station during the lifting process, thereby raising the wheels of the lawnmower so that the cleaning component 30 can clean the wheels. At the same time, multiple lifting components 30 are controlled by the controller 20 to achieve synchronous or independent lifting and lowering. Each lifting element 31 has an independent degree of freedom to adapt to different vehicle models and cleaning needs, avoiding the situation where multiple wheels can only be raised and lowered at the same time and can only be adapted to one vehicle model, thus improving the versatility of the lawnmower cleaning station 100.
