[0026] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the utility model more clear, the utility model is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described here are only used to explain the utility model and are not used to limit the utility model.

In order to avoid unnecessary repetition, the various possible combinations of the specific technical features in the utility model will not be described separately.

[0028] In the following description, the terms "first, second, etc." are only used to distinguish different objects, and do not mean that the objects have the same or related points. It should be understood that the directions "above", "below", "outside" and "inside" are all directions in normal use, and the directions "left" and "right" refer to the left and right directions shown in the corresponding schematic diagrams, which may or may not be the left and right directions in normal use.

[0029] It should be noted that the terms "comprises", "includes" or any other variants thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also includes other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device. In the absence of further restrictions, an element defined by the sentence "comprises a ..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article or device including the element. "Multiple" means greater than or equal to two.

[0030] The present invention provides a cleaning base station and a cleaning device, wherein the cleaning device at least comprises a cleaning base station. Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the cleaning base station includes a cleaning chamber 1 and a waterway plate 2. The cleaning chamber 1 is hollow inside. The cleaning chamber 1 is at least used to dock and clean a cleaning robot, which includes but is not limited to a sweeping and mopping machine, a mopping machine, a sweeping and mopping machine or a floor scrubber. The waterway plate 2 guides the water flow to the cleaning chamber 1. A spray port 11 for guiding the water flow is provided in the cleaning chamber 1, so as to supply water to the cleaning chamber 1 and / or rinse the cleaning chamber 1 through the spray port 11. For example, after the water flow guided from the spray port 11 is supplied to the cleaning tank 12 of the cleaning chamber 1, the brush plate 13 in the cleaning chamber 1 can clean the mop of the cleaning robot and / or clean the outer shell of the cleaning robot. After the cleaning chamber 1 completes the cleaning operation of the cleaning robot, that is, after the cleaning robot leaves the cleaning chamber 1, the water flow guided from the spray port 11 can rinse the garbage remaining in the cleaning chamber 1. The garbage remaining in the cleaning bin 1 can be solids such as dust and impurities, or liquids such as the washing and mopping wastewater of the cleaning robot, specifically, it is determined according to the type of cleaning robot and the working environment; the water flow derived from the spray port 11 can be domestic wastewater containing a small amount of garbage, it can be clean water, or it can be washing water containing detergent, specifically, it is determined according to the water flow introduced by the waterway plate 2. The waterway plate 2 can adapt to various types of water flows, and does not require high cleanliness of the water flow itself, which increases the scope of application of the waterway plate 2. It should be noted that the application scenario type of the embodiment of the utility model does not limit the structure of the cleaning base station and cleaning equipment of the embodiment of the utility model.

[0031] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 The waterway plate 2 includes a water inlet pipeline 21, a water outlet pipeline 22 and a guide pipeline 23. The water outlet pipeline 22 is provided with a plurality of guide pipelines 23, which connect the water inlet pipeline 21 with each water outlet pipeline 22. The water inlet pipeline 21 is used to guide the water flow of the water outlet into the guide pipeline 23. The guide pipeline 23 guides the water flow to each water outlet pipeline 22. The water outlet pipeline 22 is connected to the spray port one by one, so as to Figure 1 As shown, water is supplied to the cleaning chamber 1 and / or the cleaning chamber 1 is rinsed via the spray opening 11, that is, with reference to Figure 1 The cleaning chamber 1 is provided with a plurality of spray ports 11 to supply water to a cleaning tank 12 in the cleaning chamber 1 at a plurality of positions. When a plurality of brush discs 13 are provided in the cleaning tank 12, each spray port 11 can simultaneously wet each brush disc 13 and / or rinse each brush disc 13 at a plurality of positions, and can jointly supply water to and / or rinse the cleaning tank 12 at a plurality of positions.

[0032] It should be noted that the water outlet can be a faucet, a water pipe, a valve body connected to the faucet and / or the water pipe, or a water outlet component of other devices, such as a component for introducing and / or exporting water flow on a water heater or a clothes processing device 3. However, no matter what structure the water outlet has or what device it is connected to, the water inlet pipe 21 can introduce the water flow of the water outlet, and then the guide pipe 23 guides the water flow to each water outlet pipe 22. Figures 1 to 4 The waterway plate 2 in the embodiment of the utility model directly guides the water flow to the spray port 11 without pre-storing a certain water level of water. There is no need to reserve a cavity for storing water in the waterway plate 2. Therefore, the waterway plate 2 can guide the water flow to the spray port 11 with a smaller volume. The waterway plate 2 is small in volume and does not need to occupy a large space, which is conducive to reducing the volume of the cleaning base station. At the same time, the waterway plate 2 is different from a water tank and does not need to be automatically or manually replenished. The spray port 11 can directly guide the water flow to clean the cleaning robot and / or rinse the cleaning chamber 1, which is conducive to improving the cleaning efficiency of the cleaning base station.

[0033] It is understandable that, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 4 In the above description, "a plurality of water outlet pipes 22" means that the number of water outlet pipes 22 is greater than or equal to two; "the water outlet pipes 22 are connected one by one with the spray ports 11" means that one water outlet pipe 22 is connected with one spray port 11. The spray port 11 can be a through hole opened on the inner wall of the cleaning chamber 1, or it can be an internal pipe of the spray head; the water outlet end of the water outlet pipe 22 can be directly connected to the location of the spray port 11 to directly connect with the spray port 11; of course, the water outlet pipe 22 can also be connected as Figure 1 As shown, the spray port 11 is indirectly connected through a water pipe. The present application does not limit the specific setting structure of the spray port 11, nor does it limit the specific connection structure between the water outlet pipe 22 and the spray port 11, as long as the water flow at each water outlet pipe 22 can be guided into the cleaning chamber 1 through the spray port 11 one by one. However, no matter how the water outlet pipe 22 is set, the number of water outlet pipes 22 in the waterway plate 2 is greater than the number of water inlet pipes 21, and the waterway plate 2 achieves the effect of diversion and diversion. There is no need to set adapters, valve bodies and other waterway accessories in the cleaning base station to achieve diversion and diversion, which reduces the difficulty of assembling waterway accessories in the cleaning base station and makes the laying of water pipes in the cleaning base station simpler.

[0034] The embodiment of the utility model provides a cleaning base station, which includes a cleaning chamber 1 and a waterway plate 2. The cleaning chamber 1 is hollow inside, and the cleaning chamber 1 is at least used to dock and clean the cleaning robot. A spray port 11 for guiding water flow is provided in the cleaning chamber 1. The waterway plate 2 includes an inlet pipe 21, a plurality of outlet pipes 22, and a guide pipe 23. The inlet pipe 21 is used to introduce water flow from the water outlet. The guide pipe 23 connects the inlet pipe 21 and the outlet pipe 22 to guide the water flow introduced by the inlet pipe 21 to each outlet pipe 22. The spray port 11 is connected to the outlet pipe 22 one by one to supply water to the cleaning chamber 1 and / or rinse the cleaning chamber 1. The present application directly guides and diverts the water flow of the water outlet by setting a waterway plate 2. There is no need to set up adapters, valve bodies and other waterway accessories in the cleaning base station to achieve diversion and diversion. There is no need to reserve a cavity for water storage in the waterway plate 2. The waterway plate 2 is different from a water tank and does not require automatic or manual water replenishment. In addition, the waterway plate 2 is small in size and there are fewer waterway accessories in the cleaning base station, which makes the cleaning base station smaller in size. After setting up the waterway plate 2, the cleaning robot and / or the cleaning chamber 1 does not need to wait for water replenishment, so that the cleaning efficiency of the cleaning base station is higher.

[0035] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The cleaning base station is arranged adjacent to the clothing treatment device 3 so as to enable the waterway plate 2 to communicate with the components for introducing and / or exporting water flow in the clothing treatment device 3, but at least communicate with the components for introducing water flow in the clothing treatment device 3, that is, the waterway plate 2 can at least introduce water flow of the water inlet valve 31 of the clothing treatment device 3, that is, the water outlet part can be the water inlet valve 31 of the clothing treatment device 3, and can be the water inlet valve 31 of the clothing treatment device 3 and the drain valve for exporting water flow (not shown in the figure). For ease of understanding, the water circuit plate 2 is used to connect the water inlet valve 31 and the drain valve of the clothing treatment device 3 for explanation: the drain valve can be provided with a startup program. Assuming that the clothing treatment device 3 is to be dehydrated three times, after the first and second dehydration, the drain valve is not connected to the water circuit plate 2, and the water circuit plate 2 introduces the water flow at the water inlet valve 31 in the clothing treatment device 3. The cleaning base station can start the cleaning operation without waiting for the clothing treatment device 3 to discharge the waste water; after the third dehydration, the drain valve is connected to the water circuit plate 2, and the water circuit plate 2 can introduce the elution waste water containing no impurities or a small amount of impurities to flush the cleaning chamber 1 and / or supply water to the cleaning chamber 1, so as to rationally utilize the waste water and save water resources.

[0036] In some possible embodiments, reference Figure 1 and Figure 2, the water outlet is the water inlet valve 31 of the clothing treatment device, and the water inlet pipeline 21 is connected to the water inlet valve 31 to supply clean water to the waterway plate 2 through the water inlet valve 31. The waterway plate 2 and the clothing treatment device 3 share the same water inlet valve 31, which further reduces the waterway accessories in the cleaning base station, and the waterway plate 2 is connected to the water inlet valve 31 and can directly supply clean water, so as to reduce the possibility of detergents such as washing powder and laundry liquid being introduced into the cleaning chamber 1 through the elution waste water and remaining on the mop of the cleaning robot, thereby reducing the possibility of the cleaning robot being slippery and scratchy after mopping the floor. In some possible implementation schemes, a flow meter can also be set at the position where the water inlet valve 31 is connected to the water inlet pipeline 21 to monitor the clean water inflow status and the clean water flow supplied by the water inlet pipeline 21.

[0037] In some embodiments, reference Figure 4 The flow guide pipeline 23 includes a first branch 231, a second branch 232 and a connecting pipeline 233. The first branch 231 is connected to the water inlet pipeline 21; a plurality of second branches 232 are provided, and are connected to each water outlet pipeline 22 one by one. Figure 4 In the schematic diagram shown, each branch road in the elliptical frame is a second branch road 232. Figure 5 , define the second branch 232 as 232a, 232b, 232c, and so on to 232n, define the outlet pipe 22 as 22a, 22b, 22c, and so on to 22n, then 232a is connected with 22a, 232b is connected with 22b, and so on to 232n is connected with 22n. One end of the connecting pipe 233 is connected with the water inlet pipe 21 and / or the first branch 231 to be able to supply the water flowing through the water inlet pipe 21. It can be understood that one end (left end) of the connecting pipe 233 can be directly connected with the water inlet pipe 21, or it can be connected with the first branch 231 as shown in the schematic diagram of the present application and indirectly connected with the water inlet pipe 21. In this embodiment, it can be regarded as that one end (left end) of the connecting pipe 233 is connected with the water inlet pipe 21 and the first branch 231. The other end (right end) of the connecting pipe 233 is connected to each second branch 232, so that the water flow of the water inlet pipe 21 is guided to the corresponding water outlet pipe 22 through each second branch 232. That is to say, before the water outlet pipe 22 guides the water flow, the second branch 232 has already diverted the water flow guided by the connecting pipe 233. Therefore, even if the positions of the water outlet pipes 22 are different, each water outlet pipe 22 can guide the water flow one by one, so that the spray port 11 can be as Figure 1 As shown, water is discharged at multiple locations to wet the brush discs 13 and / or rinse the brush discs 13 .

[0038] In some embodiments, reference Figure 6The waterway plate 2 includes an upper cover 201 and a lower cover 202, which are fixedly connected and together form a guide pipe, thereby reducing the difficulty of processing and forming the guide pipe. It can be understood that for the sake of convenience, Figure 4 The upper cover 201 is omitted. The upper cover 201 and the lower cover 202 can be detachably connected by means of snap connection, interlocking of connectors (screws, bolts, etc.), or can be permanently fixedly connected by means of welding, riveting, etc. In some possible implementation schemes, the upper cover 201 and the lower cover 202 are fixed by welding to reduce the difficulty of setting a sealing structure between the upper cover 201 and the lower cover 202.

[0039] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6 , the top cover 14 of the cleaning chamber 1 can be set as the lower cover 202, that is, the flow channels in the waterway plate 2 can be formed on the top cover 14. This arrangement reduces the assembly process of the lower cover 202, thereby simplifying the assembly difficulty of the cleaning chamber 1 and the waterway plate 2, and the overall height of the cleaning chamber 1 and the waterway plate 2 after assembly does not need to calculate the height of the lower cover 202, only the height of the upper cover 201 and the top cover 14 needs to be calculated, which is conducive to reducing the overall height of the cleaning base station, so as to further reduce the volume of the cleaning base station.

[0040] In some embodiments, reference Figure 5 The connecting pipeline 233 includes a converging pipeline 2331 and a plurality of water-dividing pipelines 2332 arranged at intervals. One end (left end) of the converging pipeline 2331 is connected to the water inlet pipeline 21 and / or the first branch 231, that is, the converging pipeline 2331 is a component for supplying water flowing from the water inlet pipeline 21 to the connecting pipeline 233. It can be understood that one end (left end) of the converging pipeline 2331 can be directly connected to the water inlet pipeline 21, or it can be connected to the first branch 231 as shown in the schematic diagram of the present application and indirectly connected to the water inlet pipeline 21. In this embodiment, it can be regarded that one end (left end) of the converging pipeline 2331 is connected to the water inlet pipeline 21 and the first branch 231.

[0041] Reference Figure 5Each water distribution pipeline 2332 is connected to the other end and / or the same side of the confluence pipeline 2331 , so that the water flow derived from the confluence pipeline 2331 is guided to the corresponding water outlet pipelines 22 via each water distribution pipeline 2332 . That is, each water-dividing pipeline 2332 is connected to the other end (right end) of the confluence pipeline 2331 away from the water inlet pipeline 21, or each water-dividing pipeline 2332 is connected to the same side (upper side or lower side) of the confluence pipeline 2331, or individual water-dividing pipelines in each water-dividing pipeline 2332 are connected to the other end (right end) of the confluence pipeline 2331, and other water-dividing pipelines in each water-dividing pipeline 2332 are connected to the same side (upper side or lower side) of the confluence pipeline 2331, such as one water-dividing pipeline 2332 is connected to the right end of the confluence pipeline 2331, and another water-dividing pipeline 2332 is connected to the lower side of the confluence pipeline 2331. It should be noted that if individual water-dividing pipelines 2332 in each water-dividing pipeline 2332 are connected to both sides of the confluence pipeline 2331, they can also be regarded as being connected to the other end of the confluence pipeline 2331. The present application does not limit the specific location of each water diversion pipeline 2332 in the confluence pipeline 2331, as long as the water flow in the confluence pipeline 2331 can be directed to each water outlet pipeline 22 via each water diversion pipeline 2332. Each water diversion pipeline 2332 is connected to the other end and / or the same side of the confluence pipeline 2331, so that each water outlet pipeline 22 is arranged adjacent to each other, reducing the difficulty of laying the water pipes connected to each water outlet pipeline 22, and the laid water pipes are all connected to the same end and / or the same side of the waterway plate 2, making the laying of the water pipes relatively simple. In addition, the setting of each water diversion pipeline 2332 does not occupy the thickness space of the waterway plate 2, and still uses the length space and / or width space of the waterway plate 2 for layout, further reducing the volume of the cleaning base station.

[0042] In the embodiments shown in this application, reference is made to Figure 5As shown in the schematic diagram of water flow direction, the water flow direction in the waterway plate 2 flows through: the water inlet pipe 21, the first branch 231, the confluence pipe 2331, each water distribution pipe 2332, each second branch 232, and each water outlet pipe 22 in sequence. Among them, the number of second branches 232 is greater than the number of water diversion pipes 2332. For the sake of convenience of explanation, it is assumed that there are three second branches 232, namely 232a, 232b, and 232c, then correspondingly, there are also three water outlet pipes 22, namely 22a, 22b, and 22c. There are multiple water diversion pipes 2332 and the number of water diversion pipes 2332 is less than the number of second branches 232. Therefore, there are two water diversion pipes 2332, namely 2332a and 2332b. 2332a can be connected to two of the three first branches 231, or 2332b can be connected to two of the three first branches 231. The water diversion pipe 2332 divides the water flow flowing through the confluence pipe 2331 into two streams, and each second branch 232 divides the second branch 232 into three streams. The present application does not limit the specific number of the water diversion pipelines 2332 and the second branches 232, as long as the number of the second branches 232 is greater than the number of the water diversion pipelines 2332. In this arrangement, before the water flows to the second branches 232 and is divided into a larger number, it is first diverted into a smaller number by the water diversion pipeline 2332, and the water diversion pipeline 2332 transfers the smaller number of water flows to the second branches 232, so that each second branch 232 can smoothly guide the water flow.

[0043] In some possible embodiments, reference Figure 5 , the flow channel cross-sectional area of ​​the confluence pipeline 2331 can be made larger than the flow channel cross-sectional area of ​​the water diversion pipeline 2332, and the flow channel cross-sectional area of ​​the water diversion pipeline 2332 is larger than the flow channel cross-sectional area of ​​the second branch 232. From the confluence pipeline 2331 to each water diversion pipeline 2332, and then to each second branch 232, the flow channel cross-sectional area becomes smaller. According to the Bernoulli principle, the flow velocity of the water flow increases from the confluence pipeline 2331 to each water diversion pipeline 2332 and then to each second branch 232, which is conducive to the smooth export of water through each water outlet pipeline 22, and also conducive to the rapid export of water from the waterway plate 2, so that the cleaning base station can quickly start the cleaning operation. It can be understood that the "flow channel cross-sectional area" refers to the cross-sectional area in the pipeline in the cross-sectional direction perpendicular to the flow direction of the water flow.

[0044] In some possible embodiments, reference Figure 5, the number of second branches 232 can be set to an even number and evenly divided into groups, each water distribution pipeline 2332 is connected to a group of second branches 232, and the number of second branches 232 connected to each water distribution pipeline 2332 is equal, so that the water flow rate derived from each second branch 232 is relatively uniform, so that the water flow rate derived from each spray port 11 is relatively uniform, and then each spray port 11 can evenly supply water to the cleaning bin 1 and / or rinse the cleaning bin 1 at multiple positions. In the schematic diagram shown in this application, refer to Figure 5 There are two water-dividing pipes 2332, each of which is connected to two second branches 232, that is, there are four second branches 232 (232a, 232b, 232c, 232d), and correspondingly, there are also four water outlet pipes 22 (22a, 22b, 22c, 22d), and the two water-dividing pipes 2332 are defined as 2332a and 2332b, respectively, wherein the two second branches 232 are a group, that is, 2332a is connected with 232a and 232b, and 2332b is connected with 232c and 232d. By such an arrangement, each fork in each waterway plate 2 that needs to be diverted will divide the water flow into two streams, such as the fork where the water diversion pipe 2332 connects the two second branches 232, and the fork where the confluence pipe 2331 connects the two water diversion pipes 2332. This can not only gradually divert the water, but also make the setting structure of each fork in the waterway plate 2 for diversion relatively similar, which is convenient for the processing and manufacturing of the waterway plate 2.

[0045] In some embodiments, reference Figure 5 , along the direction of water flow from the water inlet pipe 21 toward the confluence pipe 2331, that is, Figure 5In the direction from left to right, the flow channel cross-sectional area of ​​the water outlet pipe 22 close to the water inlet pipe 21 is greater than the flow channel cross-sectional area of ​​the water outlet pipe 22 far from the water inlet pipe 21. For the convenience of explanation, in combination with the above embodiment, the water outlet pipe 22 closest to the water inlet pipe 21 (the water outlet pipe at the far left end) is defined as 22a, and the water outlet pipe 22 farthest from the water inlet pipe 21 (the water outlet pipe at the far right end) is defined as 22d, that is, the flow channel cross-sectional area of ​​22a is greater than the flow channel cross-sectional area of ​​22d. Then according to the Bernoulli principle, the pressure difference at the water outlet pipe 22 at a farther distance is greater than the pressure difference at the water outlet pipe 22 at a closer distance, that is, the pressure difference in 22d is less than the pressure difference in 22a, so even if the setting position of 22d is far from the water inlet pipe 21, the water flow can be derived by relying on the larger pressure difference. In addition, since the pressure difference in 22d is greater than the pressure difference in 22a, the water flow velocity in 22d is greater than the water flow velocity in 22a, and it is feasible to simultaneously export water from 22d which is farther away and 22a which is closer; and fluid flow rate = fluid velocity x fluid cross-sectional area, the water flow in 22a has a slower flow velocity and 22a has a larger flow channel; the water flow in 22d has a faster flow velocity and 22d has a smaller flow channel, so it is feasible to export water with the same flow rate from 22d which is farther away and 22a which is closer.

[0046] In the embodiment shown in the schematic diagram of the present application, refer to Figure 5 The flow channel cross-sectional areas of the water outlet pipes 22 connected to each water distribution pipe 2332 are equal, that is, the flow channel cross-sectional areas of the water outlet pipes 22 close to the water inlet pipe 21 are equal and larger than the flow channel cross-sectional areas of the water outlet pipes 22 far away from the water inlet pipe 21, that is, (22a=22b)<(22c=22d), so as to simplify the structure of each water outlet pipe 22, thereby reducing the difficulty of assembling the waterway plate 2.

[0047] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 and Figure 5 , the number of water outlet pipes 22 connected to each water distribution pipe 2332 is equal and greater than or equal to two; each spray port 11 is arranged in groups, for example Figure 1As shown, the four spray ports 11 are divided into two groups, each group contains two spray ports 11. The number of spray ports 11 in each group is equal to the total number of water distribution pipelines 2332. For example, if three water distribution pipelines 2332 are provided, each spray port 11 is divided into three groups, each group contains three spray ports 11. Correspondingly, the water outlet pipelines 22 also have three groups, each group contains three water outlet pipelines 22. Each water outlet pipeline 22 on each water distribution pipeline 2332 is respectively connected to a spray port 11 in each group, for example, the three water outlet pipelines 22 in the first group are respectively connected to a spray port 11 in the first group, the second group and the third group. The water outlet pipelines 22 in each group are alternately connected to the spray ports 11 in one group, so even if the positions of the water outlet pipelines 22 in each group are different, and / or the flow channel cross-sectional areas of the water outlet pipelines 22 in each group are different, the total flow rate of the water flow derived from the spray ports 11 in each group is roughly equal.

[0048] Among them, refer to Figure 1 At least two groups of spray ports 11 are arranged opposite to each other in the cleaning chamber 1. For example, when there are two groups of spray ports 11, the two groups of spray ports 11 are arranged opposite to each other in the cleaning chamber 1 to wet the brush disc 13 and / or rinse the cleaning tank 12 at opposite positions. Specifically, the two groups of spray ports 11 are distributed on both sides of the central axis plane and are symmetrically arranged. The central axis plane passes through the perpendicular bisector of the connection line of the two brush discs 13. When there are three groups of spray ports 11, two groups of spray ports 11 may be arranged opposite to each other in the cleaning chamber 1, and the other group of spray ports 11 may be arranged on the central axis plane of the cleaning chamber 1.

[0049] Above, combined Figures 1 to 7 The implementation principle of the flow diversion of the waterway plate 2 in the embodiment of the utility model is explained as follows:

[0050] The spray ports 11 are defined as 11a, 11b, 11c and 11d, wherein 11a and 11b are a group, 11c and 11d are a group, the water in 2332a flows to 232a and 232b respectively, and the water in 2332b flows to 232c and 232d respectively, wherein, with reference to Figure 7 , each water pipe connected to a group of water outlet pipes 22 extends in different directions, for example, the water pipe e1 connected to 2332a extends to the left, and the water pipe e2 connected to 2332b extends to the right. The water in 232a flows to 11a via 22a, the water in 232b flows to 11d via 22b, the water in 232c flows to 11b via 22c, and the water in 232d flows to 11c via 22d. The total flow rate of water flow derived from one group of spray ports (11a and 11b) is equal to the total flow rate of water flow derived from another group of spray ports (11c and 11d), so that both brush discs 13 can be wetted, and the water content of the two brush discs 13 is roughly equal, so that the cleaning robot can clean evenly.

[0051] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 The cleaning base station further includes a liquid extraction pump (not shown in the figure), which is used to extract the waste water in the cleaning chamber 1. In some possible embodiments, the liquid extraction pump can be connected to the downpipe and / or downpipe of the clothing treatment device 3 to guide the waste water in the cleaning chamber 1 through the downpipe and / or downpipe of the clothing treatment device 3. Figure 4 The waterway plate 2 also includes a flushing pipeline 24 at least connected to the water inlet pipeline 21. The flushing pipeline 24 is used to guide the water flow to the liquid pump to supply a certain amount of water into the liquid pump, thereby creating a water seal in the liquid pump, and the water seal can play a cooling role to reduce the heat generated by partial friction in the liquid pump. In other words, the waterway plate 2 provided in the embodiment of the utility model can not only realize the diversion and diversion of the water flow, but also supply a certain amount of water into the liquid pump, thereby reducing the waterway accessories connected to the liquid pump in the cleaning base station, and further reducing the volume of the cleaning base station.

[0052] In some embodiments, reference Figure 5 The diversion pipeline 23 also includes a third branch 234, and the flushing pipeline 24 is connected to the water inlet pipeline 21 or communicated with the first branch 231 through the third branch 234, that is, the flushing pipeline 24 can guide the water flow at the water inlet pipeline 21 through the third branch 234. Among them, the flow channel cross-sectional area of ​​the third branch 234 is smaller than the flow channel cross-sectional area of ​​the confluence pipeline 2331, then according to the Bernoulli principle, the pressure difference in the third branch 234 is greater than the pressure difference in the confluence pipeline 2331, so that the water flow of the water inlet pipeline 21 or the first branch 231 is first guided to the third branch 234.

[0053] The following combination Figures 1 to 7 The pumping principle of the cleaning chamber 1 provided by the embodiment of the utility model is explained: in the process of cleaning the cleaning robot of the cleaning base station, the liquid pump is not started, and the water flow in the water inlet pipe 21 is guided to the confluence pipe 2331 via the first branch 231, and then guided to each spray port 11 via each water outlet pipe 22. After the cleaning operation of the cleaning robot is completed at the cleaning base station and the cleaning robot is separated from the cleaning chamber 1, the liquid pump is started, and under the influence of the vacuum effect and the large pressure difference in the third branch 234, the water flow in the water inlet pipe 21 is guided to the third branch 234 via the first branch 231. After the water seal in the liquid pump is established, the liquid pump is disconnected from the flushing pipe 24. The water flow in the water inlet pipe 21 is guided to the confluence pipe 2331 again, and the spray port 11 guides the water flow to flush the cleaning chamber 1, and the liquid pump pumps water synchronously. That is to say, while the liquid pump is performing the pumping operation, the cleaning chamber 1 can be flushed synchronously, and the pumping speed of the liquid pump is greater than the water conducting speed of the spray port 11, so that the liquid pump can pump out the waste water in the cleaning chamber 1.

[0054] The utility model embodiment provides a cleaning device, referring to Figure 1The cleaning device includes a clothing processing device 3 and the above-mentioned cleaning base station. The clothing processing device 3 is used to clean the clothing. The clothing processing device 3 can be a fully automatic washing machine, a semi-automatic washing machine or a washer-dryer. The type of clothing processing device 3 is not limited here, as long as it can process the clothing. Among them, the cleaning base station is set adjacent to the clothing processing device 3. The cleaning base station can be set at the bottom of the clothing processing device 3 or beside the clothing processing device 3, as long as the cleaning base station and the clothing processing device 3 can meet the functions described in any of the above embodiments, and the cleaning base station can facilitate the docking of the cleaning robot.

[0055] In some possible implementations, the cleaning base station is arranged at the bottom of the clothes processing device 3, and under the action of gravity, the liquid in the clothes processing device 3 flows directly into the cleaning chamber 1 at the bottom. In this implementation, the cleaning base station utilizes the floor space of the bottom of the clothes processing device 3, and the space utilization rate is high. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The waterway plate 2 in the cleaning base station is connected to the water inlet valve 31 of the clothing treatment device 3, so that the waterway plate 2 can introduce clean water at the water inlet valve 31, making the cleaning operation of the cleaning base station more efficient and reducing the possibility of residual detergent on the mop of the cleaning robot.
