[0038] The optional embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0039] like Figure 1As shown, a self-cleaning maintenance station provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure is used as an example. Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the overall structure of a self-cleaning maintenance station according to some embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0040] In order to more clearly describe the behavior of the self-cleaning maintenance station, the following directions are defined: the self-cleaning maintenance station can be calibrated by defining the following three mutually perpendicular axes: the transverse axis Y, the front-to-back axis X, and the central vertical axis Z. The direction opposite to the arrow along the front-to-back axis X, that is, the direction in which the automatic cleaning device enters the self-cleaning maintenance station, is marked as "backward", and the direction along the arrow along the front-to-back axis X, that is, the direction in which the automatic cleaning device leaves the self-cleaning maintenance station, is marked as "forward". The transverse axis Y is essentially along the direction of the width of the self-cleaning maintenance station body. The direction of the arrow along the transverse axis Y is the "left side" of the self-cleaning maintenance station, and the opposite direction of the arrow along the transverse axis Y is the "right side" of the self-cleaning maintenance station. The vertical axis Z is the direction extending upward along the bottom surface of the self-cleaning maintenance station. The direction of the arrow along the vertical axis Z is the "upper side" of the self-cleaning maintenance station, and the opposite direction of the arrow along the vertical axis Z is the "lower side" of the self-cleaning maintenance station.

[0041] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the self-cleaning maintenance station provided in this embodiment includes a self-cleaning maintenance station bottom plate 1000 and a self-cleaning maintenance station body 2000, wherein the self-cleaning maintenance station bottom plate 1000 and the self-cleaning maintenance station body 2000 are detachably or non-detachably connected, and the detachable connection facilitates the transportation and maintenance of the self-cleaning maintenance station bottom plate 1000 and the self-cleaning maintenance station body 2000. The self-cleaning maintenance station also includes a clean water tank 3000 and a sewage tank 4000, the clean water tank 3000 and the sewage tank 4000 are assembled in the maintenance station body 2000, the clean water tank 3000 is used to transport clean water to the cleaning tank of the self-cleaning maintenance station to clean the mop or roller brush on the cleaning equipment; the cleaned sewage enters the sewage tank for storage, and is discharged from the self-cleaning maintenance station when the sewage in the sewage tank is full.

[0042] like Figure 2As shown, the self-cleaning maintenance station body 2000 includes a maintenance station shell 2100, a power box 2200, a dust collecting fan 2300, a heating device 2400 and a drying component 2500. The maintenance station shell 2100 refers to a hollow shell for accommodating internal devices, which is usually formed of metal, alloy or hard plastic. The power box 2200 supplies power to various electrical devices in the self-cleaning maintenance station through an external power supply. The dust collecting fan 2300 is used to suck garbage in the cleaning equipment into the self-cleaning maintenance station. Usually, when the cleaning equipment enters the self-cleaning maintenance station, the dust collecting fan 2300 is turned on by a control command to suck the garbage in the dust box of the self-cleaning maintenance station to transfer the garbage in the dust box to the garbage bag of the self-cleaning maintenance station. The heating device 2400 is used to heat the water in the clean water tank 3000 and provide hot water to the cleaning tank to improve the cleaning ability of the cleaning mop. The drying component 2500 heats the surrounding air through the heating couple and blows the hot air through the air duct to the vicinity of the cleaning device mop through the blower 2600 to dry the mop. The power box 2200, the dust collecting fan 2300, the heating device 2400 and the drying component 2500 are assembled on the second bracket 2110 in the maintenance station shell 2100. The second bracket 2110 is roughly parallel to the bottom plate 1000 of the self-cleaning maintenance station. Component 2500 either has its own bracket or is directly fixed on the second bracket 2110; the maintenance station shell 2100 also has a first bracket 2120, the first bracket 2120 is arranged on the upper layer of the second bracket 2110, the first bracket 2120 is also roughly parallel to the bottom plate 1000 of the self-cleaning maintenance station, and the first bracket 2120 is used to support various water connection structures. The water connection structure here refers to the position with a water connection joint, and overflow may occur at this position, causing damage to the circuit connection structure in the self-cleaning maintenance station, including the connection position of the water pipe and the water pipe joint, the connection position of the water pipe and the water pipe, the connection position of the water pipe and the adapter, etc., which are not listed here one by one.

[0043] like Figure 3As shown, it is a top view of the internal structure of the self-cleaning maintenance station. The maintenance station shell 2100 includes a first bracket 2120, and the first bracket 2120 is located on the top layer of the maintenance station shell 2100. The first bracket 2120 is at least used to assemble various water channel connection structures; a water baffle 2130 is provided on the first bracket 2120, and the water baffle 2130 can be arranged in sections or continuously. The water baffle 2130 is arranged perpendicular to the surface of the first bracket 2120 and has a certain height, which is used to block the flow of liquid. The water baffle 2130 is at least arranged on the first bracket 2120 through multiple sections of the water baffle 2130. The upper surface of a bracket 2120 is divided into a first area A, a second area B and a third area C. The division of the first area A, the second area B and the third area C is not unique. The division is based on the principle of proximity and takes into account the positions of each water channel connection structure. The first area A, the second area B and the third area C respectively include a first water outlet 2140, a second water outlet 2150 and a third water outlet 2160. The first water outlet 2140, the second water outlet 2150 and the third water outlet 2160 are used to discharge the liquid overflowing from the each water channel connection structure.

[0044] In some embodiments, Figure 3 As shown, the first water outlet 2140 is roughly located at the junction of the first area A and the third area C; the second water outlet 2150 is roughly located at the junction of the second area B and the side wall of the maintenance station shell 2100, for example, at the front corner of the maintenance station shell 2100; the third water outlet 2160 is roughly located at the junction of the third area C and the side wall of the maintenance station shell 2100, for example, at the back corner of the maintenance station shell 2100. It can be seen that the first water outlet 2140, the second water outlet 2150 and the third water outlet 2160 are basically located at the right edge of the first area A, the second area B and the third area C. Therefore, in order to facilitate the smooth discharge of liquid, the surface of the first bracket 2120 can be set to be slightly higher on the left and lower on the right. As long as there is liquid leaking into the first area A, the second area B or the third area C, it will be diverted to the first water outlet 2140, the second water outlet 2150 or the third water outlet 2160 in time.

[0045] As an example, Figure 3 As shown, the first area A includes at least one of the following water channel connection structures: the water outlet joint of the water inlet solenoid valve 3100, the water inlet joint of the clean water tank 3000, the water inlet and outlet joints of the cleaning liquid tank 2700, the water inlet joint of the heater assembly 2500, and the water inlet and outlet joints of the cleaning liquid and clean water mixing tee 3200. There is no strict restriction on this division, and each joint can also be divided into other areas. In the first area A, the liquid flowing out of the above-mentioned joints will converge to the first water outlet 2140 and be discharged from the first water outlet 2140.

[0046] As an example, Figure 3 As shown, the second area B includes at least one of the following water channel connection structures: the water outlet joint of the heater assembly 2500 and the water inlet and outlet joints of the peristaltic pump 2800. There is no strict restriction on this division, and each joint can also be divided into other areas. In the second area B, the liquid flowing out of the above-mentioned joints will converge to the second water outlet 2150 and be discharged from the second water outlet 2150.

[0047] As an example, Figure 3 As shown, the third area C includes at least one of the following water channel connection structures: the water inlet joint of the water inlet solenoid valve 3100 and the water inlet and outlet joints of the three-way solenoid valve 2900. There is no strict restriction on this division, and each joint can also be divided into other areas. In the third area C, the liquid flowing out of the above joints will converge to the third water outlet 2160 and be discharged from the third water outlet 2160.

[0048] In some embodiments, Figure 4 As shown, the maintenance station housing 2100 also includes a second bracket 2110, and the second bracket 2110 is located at the lower side of the first bracket 2120, and the second bracket 2110 is at least used to assemble the dust collecting fan 2300 and the power box 2200; wherein, the second bracket 2110 between the dust collecting fan 2300 and the power box 2200 has a first opening 2111, and the liquid flowing out of the first water outlet 2140 flows to the cleaning tank 5000 through the first opening 2111. Optionally, the first opening and the projection of the first water outlet on the first bracket are basically overlapped. Since the first area A includes more water channel connection structures, the amount of overflow water received will also be relatively large. Therefore, the water flow path of the first water outlet 2140 is basically vertically downward and directly flows to the cleaning tank 5000.

[0049] In some embodiments, Figure 5 As shown, the second bracket 2110 directly below the power box 2200 has a second opening 2112, and the liquid flowing out from the second water outlet 2150 passes through the second opening 2112 and converges with the first opening 2111 before flowing to the cleaning tank 5000. In some embodiments, there is a gap between the bottom of the power box 2200 and the second bracket 2110, and the liquid flowing out from the third water outlet 2160 passes through the gap and the second opening 2112 and converges with the first opening 2111 before flowing to the cleaning tank 5000. The liquid flowing out of the second water outlet 2150 and the liquid flowing out of the third water outlet 2160 converge in the gap at the bottom of the power box 2200, and then flows from the second opening 2112 through the first opening 2111 to the cleaning tank 5000.

[0050] The disclosed embodiment also provides a maintenance system, including an automatic cleaning device and any of the self-cleaning maintenance stations described above. The automatic cleaning device can enter the self-cleaning maintenance station to perform mop cleaning. For related content, refer to the relevant technology and will not be repeated here.

[0051] The self-cleaning maintenance station disclosed in the present invention is provided with a plurality of water baffles on the top of the bracket, and the plurality of water baffles form a plurality of water flow areas. A water outlet is opened in each area, and a through hole is opened in the water flow path, so that the liquid overflowing from each water path connection structure can flow along the water outlet and the through hole to the cleaning tank, thereby avoiding damage to the electrical connection structure by the overflowing liquid.

[0052] Finally, it should be noted that: the various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner, and each embodiment focuses on the differences from other embodiments. The same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referenced to each other.

[0053] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present disclosure, rather than to limit them. Although the present disclosure has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein.
