Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work belong to the scope of protection of this application.

[0133] With the development of social economy and the improvement of people's living standards, cleaning equipment such as floor scrubbers have greatly reduced the labor intensity and time spent on housework due to their high mopping efficiency and convenience, and are becoming more and more popular with users. Floor scrubbers need to be charged regularly, or perform self-cleaning after cleaning the floor. When performing charging and self-cleaning steps, it is usually necessary to transfer the floor scrubber to a cleaning base station and use the cleaning base station to charge or self-clean it. However, most of the floor scrubbers on the market currently require users to lift the floor scrubber and place it on the cleaning base station when transferring it from the ground to the cleaning base station. Since the floor scrubber has a certain weight, it is more laborious for users to lift and place the floor scrubber, and the user experience is not good.

[0134] In view of this, the embodiments of the utility model provide a cleaning base station, a floor brush mechanism, a cleaning device and a cleaning system, wherein the cleaning base station includes a fixed base and a rotatable cleaning platform, a placement structure is arranged on the cleaning platform, at least one of the fixed base and the cleaning platform has a guide structure, and the guide structure connects the placement structure and the ground. When the cleaning device needs to be transferred to the placement structure for charging and self-cleaning operations, the user can push the body of the cleaning device or the floor brush mechanism to move the floor brush mechanism along the guide structure to the placement structure, eliminating the operation of the user lifting and lowering the cleaning device as a whole. The process is simple and labor-saving, which is conducive to improving the user experience.

[0135] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 18 The cleaning base station 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0136] Specifically, the cleaning base station 100 of this embodiment is used to adapt to the floor brush mechanism 200 of the cleaning device 300. For example, the cleaning base station 100 can perform operations such as sewage discharge, self-cleaning, and charging for the floor brush mechanism 200 of the cleaning device 300. The cleaning device 300 can be a floor scrubber, a vacuum cleaner, or other devices. In addition to the floor brush mechanism 200, the cleaning device 300 generally includes a body and other parts. The user can drive the cleaning operation of the outside of the floor brush mechanism 200 by controlling and holding the body.

[0137] Combination Figure 1-Figure 4 The cleaning base station 100 may include: a fixed base 1 and a cleaning platform 2 and other components. The fixed base 1 is set on the ground, and the fixed base 1 can be fixed to the ground. The cleaning platform 2 is rotatably arranged relative to the fixed base 1, and the cleaning platform 2 has a placement structure 21, and the placement structure 21 can be formed as a placement surface. The placement structure 21 is suitable for placing the floor brush mechanism 200. The placement structure 21 can be a plane, or a concave-convex structure or other fixed structure can be set on the placement structure 21 according to the bottom contour of the floor brush mechanism 200, so that the floor brush mechanism 200 can stably reside on the placement structure 21.

[0138] At least one of the fixed base 1 and the cleaning platform 2 has a guide structure. For example, the guide structure can be only arranged on the fixed base 1, or the guide structure can be only arranged on the cleaning platform 2, or part of the guide structure is arranged on the fixed base 1, and part of the guide structure is arranged on the cleaning platform 2, or the cleaning platform 2 and the fixed base 1 are each respectively provided with a guide structure, and the guide structure can be formed as a guide slope or a guide channel.

[0139] The first end of the guide structure extends to the plane where the cleaning base station 100 is located (for example, the ground), and the second end of the guide structure can extend to the placement structure 21 and dock with the placement structure 21, so that the floor brush mechanism 200 moves to the placement structure 21 via the guide structure. In this way, when it is necessary to transfer the cleaning device 300 such as a floor scrubber to the cleaning base station 100 for charging or self-cleaning, the user can push the handle of the cleaning device 300 or the floor brush mechanism 200 to move the floor brush mechanism 200 along the guide structure to the placement structure 21, and then complete the corresponding operation. Here, self-cleaning means that the cleaning base station 100 performs a cleaning operation for the floor brush mechanism 200. In this way, the process of transferring the cleaning device 300 to the cleaning base station 100 is simple and labor-saving.

[0140] Among them, the structural arrangement of the cleaning device 300 is generally directional. For example, the floor brush mechanism 200 of the cleaning device 300 generally moves in the front of the cleaning device 300, that is, in the front direction of the cleaning device 300, to clean the floor, and the user who controls the cleaning device 300 will be located behind the cleaning device 300 and hold the handle of the vacuum cleaner body and other operating positions to operate. As for the cleaning base station 100, it is generally set near the wall to reduce the occupation of indoor space. Accordingly, when the cleaning device 300 is set on the cleaning base station 100 for charging or self-cleaning, in order to facilitate the placement of the floor brush mechanism 200 and the vacuum cleaner body and other structures, the cleaning device 300 is generally also set on the cleaning base station 100 in a specific direction. Exemplarily, in some cases, when the cleaning device 300 is set on the cleaning base station 100, the front of the cleaning device 300 can face the outside, that is, the side away from the wall, and the vacuum cleaner body and handle and other structures are located on the side facing the wall.

[0141] refer to Fig.10 and Fig.11In the cleaning base station 100 of the present application, in order to allow the floor brush mechanism 200 placed on the cleaning base station 100 to have a suitable orientation (for example, the front of the cleaning device 300 is set away from the wall), the cleaning platform 2 is rotatable relative to the fixed base 1. In this way, after the floor brush mechanism 200 is moved to the placement structure 21, the cleaning platform 2 can be controlled to rotate a certain angle, so that the floor brush mechanism 200 of the cleaning device 300 turns from facing away from the user to facing the user, and can perform self-cleaning or charging at the same time. At the same time, it is convenient for the user to observe the state of the cleaning device 300, such as the charging state, or to disassemble and assemble the cleaning device 300, and in the case where the cleaning base station 100 is set against the wall, the cleaning device 300 can also be rotated from the body away from the wall to the state close to the wall to stabilize the posture of the cleaning device 300 and prevent it from tipping over; finally, the front of the cleaning device 300 faces the outside (that is, the side away from the wall), which also makes the cleaning device 300 placed on the cleaning base station 100 look more beautiful.

[0142] In addition, refer to Fig.10 and Fig.11 When the sewage tank is at the back of the body, after self-cleaning is completed, the cleaning platform 2 can be rotated to the initial position to facilitate the user to remove the sewage tank; of course, the user can also remove the sewage tank before pushing the cleaning device 300 to the cleaning base station 100, thereby eliminating the need to rotate the cleaning platform 2 back to the initial position after self-cleaning and charging are completed. It can be understood that whether the user controls the cleaning platform 2 to rotate to the initial position when cleaning the sewage tank can be determined according to the position of the sewage tank on the body of the cleaning device 300. When the cleaning device 300 completes the charging, self-cleaning, and sewage tank cleaning operations and turns to an idle state for the next use, the cleaning platform 2 can be controlled to rotate a certain angle again, so that the body of the cleaning device 300 turns from facing away from the user to facing the user, so that the overall appearance of the cleaning system 400 composed of the cleaning base station 100 and the cleaning device 300 is more beautiful.

[0143] Optionally, the rotation control of the cleaning platform 2 relative to the fixed base 1 can be manually controlled by the user or automatically controlled, and the rotation control structure of the cleaning platform 2 can be flexibly adjusted according to the specific control method.

[0144] According to the cleaning base station 100 of the embodiment of the utility model, it includes a fixed base 1 and a rotatable cleaning platform 2, and a placement structure 21 is arranged on the cleaning platform 2. At least one of the fixed base 1 and the cleaning platform 2 has a guide structure, and the guide structure connects the placement structure 21 and the ground. When the cleaning device 300 needs to be transferred to the placement structure 21 for charging and self-cleaning operations, the user can push the body of the cleaning device 300 or the floor brush mechanism 200 to move the floor brush mechanism 200 along the guide structure to the placement structure 21, eliminating the user's operation of lifting and placing the cleaning device 300 as a whole. The process is simple and labor-saving, which is conducive to improving the user experience. In addition, since the cleaning platform 2 is rotatable, when the cleaning device 300 is charging or self-cleaning, the cleaning device 300 can be adjusted to an angle that is convenient for the user to observe the body interaction interface and to lean against the wall, so as to prevent the cleaning device 300 from tipping over, better protect the cleaning device 300, and improve the overall aesthetics.

[0145] In some implementations, a receiving portion is provided on the placement structure 21, and the receiving portion is at least used to receive the cleaning member 202 on the floor brush mechanism 200, that is, the receiving portion can only receive the cleaning member 202 such as a roller brush, and can also receive other structures of the floor brush mechanism 200. By providing the receiving portion, the floor brush mechanism 200 can be better fixed to perform a self-cleaning operation on the cleaning member 202.

[0146] In some embodiments, in combination Figure 1-Figure 4 as well as Figure 10-13 The accommodating portion may define a docking cavity 210, the placement structure 21 constitutes the bottom wall of the docking cavity 210, and one side of the docking cavity 210 has an entrance, through which the floor brush mechanism 200 may enter the docking cavity 210. For example, the water inlet may be provided on one side of the docking cavity 210 along the circumferential direction, and at this time, the docking cavity 210 may form a semi-enclosed state for the floor brush mechanism 200. By providing the docking cavity 210, it is convenient for the cleaning platform 2 to form a fixed fit with the floor brush mechanism 200 from multiple directions such as the circumferential side and the top side of the floor brush mechanism 200, so as to better stabilize the position and posture of the floor brush mechanism 200, thereby facilitating self-cleaning and charging operations.

[0147] It should be noted that the circumferential covering range of the docking cavity 210 on the floor brush mechanism 200 can be reasonably adjusted according to actual needs. On the one hand, it is convenient to fix the floor brush mechanism 200, and on the other hand, it is also convenient to clean the floor brush mechanism 200 within a larger angle range to improve the self-cleaning efficiency.

[0148] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1The guide structure includes a first guide slope 121, which is arranged on the fixed base 1. During the rotation of the cleaning platform 2 relative to the fixed base 1, the positions of the first guide slope 121 and the entrance are relative or staggered, wherein, when the positions of the first guide slope 121 and the accommodating portion are docked with each other, the first guide slope 121 can guide the floor brush mechanism 200 to move to the placement structure 21. For example, when the floor brush mechanism 200 needs to be transferred to the placement structure 21 and the docking chamber 210, the first guide slope 121 and the entrance can be relative. After the floor brush mechanism 200 has been transferred to the placement structure 21, the cleaning platform 2 can be rotated so that the first guide slope 121 and the entrance are staggered to prevent the floor brush mechanism 200 from sliding down from the first guide slope 121 due to unexpected factors. In this way, it is convenient to transfer the cleaning device 300 to the cleaning platform 2, and ensure that the position of the cleaning device 300 on the cleaning platform 2 is relatively stable.

[0149] In some embodiments, in combination Fig.10 and Fig.11 The cleaning platform 2 rotates relative to the fixed base 1 between a first position and a second position, wherein in the first position, the accommodating portion is located on the side of the cleaning platform 2 away from the first guide slope 121, and in the second position, the accommodating portion is located on the side of the cleaning platform 2 close to the first guide slope 121. In this way, the cleaning device 300 can be easily transferred to the cleaning platform 2 and the position of the cleaning device 300 when it stays on the cleaning platform 2 can be ensured to be relatively stable.

[0150] There may be a variety of different angle ranges between the first position and the second position. For example, in an optional manner, the angle between the first position and the second position may be between 150° and 210°, such as 180°. In this way, when the cleaning device 300 rotates with the cleaning platform 2, the direction corresponding to the first position and the direction corresponding to the second position will be opposite or approximately opposite, making it easier for the cleaning device 300 to lean against a wall.

[0151] In other optional embodiments, the angle between the first position and the second position can be between 70° and 110°, for example, 90°, so that when the cleaning device 300 rotates with the cleaning platform 2, the direction corresponding to the first position and the direction corresponding to the second position will be at right angles, so that when the cleaning base station 100 is set at a corner, the cleaning device 300 can be backed against one wall and face the other wall. In this way, the cleaning platform 2 has a large rotatable angle, and can flexibly adjust the placement angle of the cleaning device 300, which is conducive to stabilizing the posture during self-cleaning and charging operations, and ensuring the smooth progress of related operations.

[0152] In some embodiments, in combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 8 The fixed base 1 may include a base 11 and a guide portion 12. Specifically, a receiving groove 111 is provided on the upper side of the base 11, and the receiving groove 111 may be used to receive the cleaning platform 2. The guide portion 12 is located on at least one side of the base 11, and a first guide slope 121 is formed on the guide portion 12. By providing the base 11, it is convenient to install and support the cleaning platform 2, and by providing the guide portion 12, it is convenient to form the guide slope, and the overall structure is simple and easy to manufacture.

[0153] Optionally, the cleaning platform 2 may be rotatably matched with at least one of the base and the guide portion 12 to achieve rotation of the cleaning platform 2 .

[0154] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 The guide portion 12 has flanges 124 on opposite sides thereof, and the flanges 124 may extend along the edge of the first guide slope 121, and the flanges 124 protrude upward from the first guide slope 121, and the flanges 124 and the first guide slope 121 together define a guide channel, and the guide channel is used for the floor brush mechanism 200 to enter the cleaning platform 2. By providing the flanges 124, the floor brush mechanism 200 can be prevented from deviating from the first guide slope 121 when moving along the first guide slope 121, thereby improving the efficiency and accuracy of transferring the floor brush mechanism 200 to the cleaning platform 2.

[0155] In some embodiments, the width of the guide channel gradually decreases from the side away from the cleaning platform 2 to the side close to the cleaning platform 2, that is, the guide channel is a tapered structure. In this way, on the one hand, it is beneficial for the floor brush mechanism 200 to quickly move from the ground to the guide slope, and on the other hand, it is beneficial for the floor brush mechanism 200 to accurately reach the target position on the cleaning platform 2 from the guide channel.

[0156] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 The placement structure 21 can be formed as a placement surface, and the guiding slope can also include a second guiding slope 212. The second guiding slope 212 is arranged on the cleaning platform 2, and the second guiding slope 212 is formed by the inclined extension of part of the placement surface. Since the cleaning platform 2 is a rotatable structure, in order to ensure a good connection between the placement structure 21 and the guiding slope, the connection position of the first guiding slope 121 and the placement structure 21 is constructed as an arc shape, that is, the edges of the first guiding slope 121 and the placement structure 21 facing each other are not straight lines, but arc shapes. At this time, it is necessary to construct a part of the structure of the placement structure 21 close to the guide portion 12 as an inclined surface, so as to form a good splicing with the first guiding slope 121, avoid a large gap between the cleaning platform 2 and the guide portion 12, and prevent the floor brush mechanism 200 from getting stuck when it moves to the connection between the cleaning platform 2 and the guide portion 12.

[0157] In some embodiments, in combination Figure 1-Figure 4 as well as Figure 7 and Figure 8 The cleaning platform 2 may be a rotating body structure, for example, the cleaning platform 2 may be constructed as a truncated cone as a whole, and the groove wall shape of the receiving groove 111 is an arc surface matching the side wall profile of the cleaning platform 2, so that the rotation process of the cleaning platform 2 can be ensured to be smoother. It can be understood that since the height of the guide portion 12 is higher than the height of the base 11, the groove wall of the receiving groove 111 may be formed by the side wall of the guide portion 12 facing the base 11.

[0158] In some embodiments, the cleaning platform 2 is rotatably connected to the base 11 , which helps to simplify the overall structure of the cleaning platform 2 to achieve the rotational motion, and facilitates the assembly and subsequent maintenance of the cleaning platform 2 and the fixed base 1 .

[0159] In some embodiments, reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 , one of the base 11 and the cleaning platform 2 is provided with a pivot hole 112, and the other is provided with a pivot shaft 22. For example, the base 11 may be provided with a pivot hole 112, and the cleaning platform 2 may be provided with a pivot shaft 22, or the base 11 may be provided with a pivot shaft 22, and the cleaning platform 2 may be provided with a pivot hole 112, and the pivot shaft 22 may be rotatably engaged in the pivot hole 112. The cleaning base station 100 may further include: a driving mechanism 3, the driving mechanism 3 is used to drive the cleaning platform 2 to rotate relative to the base 11, so that the rotational cooperation mode of the cleaning platform 2 and the base 11 is relatively simple and easy to implement.

[0160] In some embodiments, reference Figure 7 and Figure 8 The driving mechanism 3 may include a driving member 31. Specifically, the driving member 31 may be a reduction motor or other driving devices. The driving member 31 has a rotatable output shaft, and the output shaft is connected to the cleaning platform 2. Here, the output shaft may be directly connected to the cleaning platform 2, or may be connected to the cleaning platform 2 through an intermediate transmission structure, so that the driving member 31 can drive the cleaning platform 2 to rotate.

[0161] In some possible embodiments, the driving member 31 is arranged on the central axis of the cleaning platform 2. At this time, the output shaft of the driving member 31 can be directly connected to the cleaning platform 2, eliminating the need to set an intermediate transmission structure between the driving member 31 and the cleaning platform 2, which is beneficial to reducing the number of parts of the cleaning base station 100, simplifying the overall structure of the cleaning base station 100, reducing costs, and accommodating assembly.

[0162] In some other embodiments, reference Figure 7 and Figure 8The interior of the cleaning platform 2 has an installation cavity 23, and the driving member 31 is arranged in the installation cavity 23 and fixedly connected to the cleaning platform 2. The driving axis of the driving member 31 is staggered with the central axis of the cleaning platform 2. At this time, the driving mechanism 3 can also include a transmission component 32, and the transmission component 32 is respectively connected to the driving member 31 and the cleaning platform 2. The driving member 31 drives the cleaning platform 2 to rotate through the transmission component 32. For example, the transmission component 32 can be a gear rack mechanism, or a transmission belt mechanism. Of course, it can also be other transmission forms, which are not limited in this embodiment. In this way, the driving member 31 can drive the cleaning platform 2 through the transmission component 32. The overall structure is simple, reliable, and easy to implement.

[0163] In some embodiments, reference Figure 7 and Figure 8 The transmission assembly 32 may include a transmission gear 321 and a transmission rack 322, wherein the transmission gear 321 is connected to the output shaft of the driving member 31, and the transmission gear 321 may be an integrally formed part with the output shaft, or may be detachably connected and matched with the circumferential upper limit of the output shaft, so that the driving member 31 can smoothly drive the transmission gear 321 to rotate. The transmission rack 322 is in an arc shape, and the transmission rack 322 is fixedly arranged on the base 11, and the transmission rack 322 is meshed with the transmission gear 321. In this way, when the driving member 31 drives the transmission gear 321 to rotate, the transmission gear 321 and the driving member 31 can move along the transmission rack 322 together, thereby driving the cleaning platform 2 to rotate relative to the fixed base 1. In this way, the rotation of the cleaning platform 2 is simple and reliable, and easy to assemble.

[0164] In some embodiments, the transmission rack 322 and the base 11 may be an integral structure, which can improve the structural strength of the transmission rack 322 and help provide more reliable motion support for the whole consisting of the transmission gear 321 and the driving member 31 .

[0165] Of course, the present invention does not limit this, and the transmission rack 322 can also be detachably connected to the base 11. For example, the rotating rack can be connected to the base 11 by clamping or bolting, and the specific connection method between the transmission rack 322 and the base 11 can be reasonably selected according to actual needs. In this way, when the transmission rack 322 is damaged, it is convenient to replace the transmission rack 322 alone, which can reduce maintenance costs.

[0166] In some embodiments, the cleaning base station 100 may further include a control device (not shown), which is connected to the drive member 31 for communication and controls the working state of the drive member 31. For example, the control device can be used to control the start, shutdown, operating time, number of rotations, etc. of the drive member 31. By setting up the control device, the automatic operation of the drive member 31 can be realized, and the cleaning platform 2 can be automatically rotated and stopped, thereby improving the degree of automation of the cleaning base station 100 and helping to improve the user experience.

[0167] In some embodiments, reference Fig. 9 The cleaning base station 100 may further include: an angle detection unit 6. Specifically, the angle detection unit 6 is used to detect the rotation angle of the cleaning platform 2 relative to the fixed base 1. The angle detection unit 6 is connected to the control device for communication. The control device is used to control the working state of the driving member 31 according to the rotation angle. For example, when the angle detection unit 6 detects that the cleaning platform 2 has rotated from the first position to the angle corresponding to the second position, the detection result can be sent to the control device, and the control device controls the driving member 31 to stop running. In this way, the accuracy of the rotation angle of the cleaning platform 2 can be ensured.

[0168] In a specific example, the angle detection unit 6 includes at least one of a proximity sensor and a photoelectric sensor. Thus, the angle detection unit 6 has a higher detection accuracy, which helps to better control the rotation angle of the cleaning platform 2 .

[0169] In other alternative embodiments, the angle detection unit 6 can be replaced by a positioning structure (not shown), for example, a first positioning structure is set at the first position of the base 11, and a second positioning structure is set at the second position of the base 11. The first positioning structure and the second positioning structure can be any structure such as a protrusion or a groove. A positioning matching structure is set on the cleaning platform 2. When the cleaning platform 2 reaches any one of the first position and the second position, the positioning matching structure and the positioning structure realize positioning matching, thereby ensuring that the travel of the cleaning platform 2 is more accurate, so as to facilitate the smooth progress of operations such as charging and self-cleaning. In this way, the cost can be further reduced, and the reliability is higher.

[0170] In some embodiments, the cleaning base station 100 may further include a floor brush detection device, which may be a proximity sensor, a position switch, an infrared sensor, or the like, or other detection devices. As an example, the floor brush detection device is used to detect whether the floor brush mechanism 200 has entered the docking chamber 210. The floor brush detection device is communicatively connected to the control device, and the control device controls the operating state of the driver 31 according to the detection structure of the floor brush detection device. For example, when the floor brush detection device senses that the floor brush mechanism 200 has entered the docking chamber 210, a detection signal may be sent to the control device. At this time, the control device may control the driver 31 to start, thereby controlling the cleaning platform 2 to rotate. In this way, a control basis can be provided for the start-up operation of the driver 31, further improving the degree of automation of the cleaning base station 100, which is conducive to improving the user experience.

[0171] Of course, in other embodiments, a touch switch can be set on the cleaning base station 100. The touch switch can be a physical button or a virtual button on the touch screen. When the user transfers the floor brush mechanism 200 to the docking cavity 210, the user can manually trigger the touch switch to control the rotation of the cleaning platform 2. In this way, the rotation control of the cleaning platform 2 can also be achieved. The control method is simple and easy to implement.

[0172] In some embodiments, in combination Figure 8 and Fig. 9 The base 11 can also be provided with a plurality of sliding support assemblies 13, and the plurality of sliding support assemblies 13 can be distributed at intervals inward and outward along the radial direction of the base 11. The sliding support assemblies 13 are used to provide support for the cleaning platform 2. By providing a plurality of sliding support assemblies 13, when the cleaning platform 2 rotates relative to the base 11, it is possible to prevent the cleaning platform 2 from tilting due to uneven weight distribution, avoid severe wear between the local part of the cleaning platform 2 and the base 11, and ensure the smoothness of the rotation process of the cleaning platform 2.

[0173] In some embodiments, in combination Figure 8 and Fig. 9 Each sliding support assembly 13 includes a plurality of rolling members 131. For example, the rolling members 131 may be ball bearings, rollers, etc. The rolling members 131 may be metal members or non-metal members. The plurality of rolling members 131 in each sliding support assembly 13 are arranged around the pivot shaft 22. The base 11 is provided with a plurality of mounting grooves 115 corresponding to the rolling members 131 one by one. The rolling members are embedded in the mounting grooves 115. In this way, the structure and mounting method of the sliding support assembly 13 are relatively simple. The mounting grooves 115 can ensure that the rolling members 131 roll in place without colliding or squeezing with other rolling members 131, thereby ensuring the reliability of the sliding support assembly 13.

[0174] refer to Fig. 9The plurality of sliding support assemblies 13 include a first sliding support assembly 13 and a second sliding support assembly 13. The plurality of rolling elements 131 belonging to the first sliding support assembly 13 are distributed around the pivot hole 112, and the groove walls of the mounting grooves 115 corresponding to the plurality of rolling elements 131 of the first sliding support assembly 13 are connected to each other; the plurality of rolling elements 131 belonging to the second sliding support assembly 13 are distributed at intervals along the circumference of the cleaning platform 2 on the periphery of the cleaning platform 2, and the groove walls of the mounting grooves 115 corresponding to the plurality of rolling elements 131 of the second sliding support assembly 13 are respectively connected to the transmission rack 322 and the periphery of the base 11, so that the groove walls of the mounting grooves 115 of the rolling elements 131 can be used to realize the connection between the transmission rack 322 and the base, which can further improve the structural strength of the base 11, and the layout of the sliding support assembly 13 is simple and easy to implement.

[0175] In some embodiments, reference Figure 3 and Fig. 9 The bottom wall of the base 11 is provided with a plurality of fixing grooves 114. The fixed base 1 may further include a plurality of anti-slip parts. The anti-slip parts may be circular anti-slip pads or plastic parts. The anti-slip parts are embedded in the fixing grooves 114. When the fixed base 1 is set on the ground, the anti-slip parts may fit the ground. In this way, when the user pushes the floor brush mechanism 200 to move along the guide slope, the cleaning base station 100 may be prevented from being moved due to force, thereby ensuring that the user can quickly and conveniently push the floor brush mechanism 200 along the guide slope to the docking cavity 210.

[0176] Further, refer to Figure 3 A plurality of reinforcing ribs are provided at the bottom of the base 11, and the fixing groove 114 can be provided on the reinforcing ribs. In this way, the structural strength of the groove wall of the fixing groove 114 can be improved, thereby ensuring the installation stability of the anti-slip part.

[0177] In some embodiments, reference Figure 3 and Figure 6 , the pivot shaft 22 may also be provided with an inlet channel 221, which may be communicated with the installation cavity 23 of the cleaning platform 2. The power supply harness of the cleaning base station 100 enters the installation cavity 23 through the inlet channel 221 and is connected with electrical components such as the control panel to supply power to the electrical components inside the cleaning platform 2. Since the pivot shaft 22 is rotatable, the power supply harness is passed through the pivot shaft 22, which can reduce or even avoid the torsional deformation of the power supply harness caused by the rotation of the cleaning platform 2, thereby facilitating the service life of the power supply harness.

[0178] refer to Figure 3Considering that the power supply harness needs to pass through the pivot shaft 22 and the lower side of the base 11 to extend to the outside of the cleaning base station 100, in order to avoid the power supply harness being pressed on the lower side of the base 11, causing the base 11 to tilt and become unstable, in this embodiment, a wire groove 113 is also provided on the lower surface of the base 11, and one end of the wire groove 113 extends to the wire entry channel 221 of the pivot shaft 22, and the other end extends to the edge of the base 11. The power supply harness can be clamped in the wire groove 113. In this way, the cleaning base station 100 can be placed more stably and the power supply harness can be better protected to avoid wear.

[0179] In some embodiments, reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 The cleaning platform 2 further includes a drying component 4, which is disposed on the cleaning platform 2, and an air outlet is disposed on the receiving portion. In this way, the drying component 4 is suitable for providing a dry airflow to the floor brush mechanism 200 through the air outlet to dry the cleaning member 202 on the floor brush mechanism 200.

[0180] In some embodiments, reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 The cleaning platform 2 has an installation cavity 23 inside, and an air outlet is provided on the inner wall of the docking cavity 210. An air duct is formed in the installation cavity 23, one end of the air duct is connected to the outlet of the drying component 4, and the other end is connected to the air outlet. In this way, air outlet is convenient and the structure is simple.

[0181] In some embodiments, reference Figure 5 The drying component 4 may include a fan 41, which is disposed in the installation cavity 23. The fan 41 is used to generate airflow. By arranging the fan 41, the airflow can be driven into the docking cavity 210, so that the airflow can be used to carry away the moisture on the cleaning parts 202 of the floor brush mechanism 200, such as the roller brush, to achieve the purpose of drying the floor brush mechanism 200.

[0182] In some embodiments, the drying component 4 may also include a first heating element 42, which may be any one of a heating wire, a heating plate, a heating rod, a heating net, and a positive temperature coefficient (PTC) heater. The first heating element 42 is arranged in the installation cavity 23 and is located on the downstream side of the fan 41. The first heating element 42 can be used to heat the airflow generated by the fan 41. In this way, the temperature of the airflow generated by the fan 41 increases when passing through the first heating element 42, thereby ensuring that the airflow entering the docking cavity 210 is a drying airflow with a suitable drying temperature, so as to utilize the high-temperature airflow to dry the cleaning parts 202 such as the roller brush of the floor brush mechanism 200.

[0183] In some embodiments, reference Figure 5The air outlet 214 is located on the inner wall of the docking chamber 210 on the side opposite to the entrance. In this way, after the floor brush mechanism enters the docking chamber 210, the air outlet 214 faces the roller brush of the floor brush mechanism 200, and the exhausted hot air flows through the roller brush, thereby drying the floor brush mechanism 200, and is finally discharged from the entrance. In addition, the air outlet 214 is located on the innermost side of the docking chamber 210, which can delay heat loss and improve drying efficiency.

[0184] In some embodiments, reference Figure 2 The cleaning platform 2 is also provided with an air inlet 25, which can be provided on the outer peripheral wall of the mounting cavity 23 and communicated with the mounting cavity 23 of the cleaning platform 2. In this way, the fan 41 can inhale air from the air inlet 25 to generate an airflow for drying the floor brush mechanism 200.

[0185] In some embodiments, reference Figure 5 , a cleaning groove 211 is provided on the placement structure 21, that is, the cleaning groove 211 is provided on the placement surface, and the cleaning groove 211 is located in the accommodation portion. For example, the cleaning groove 211 can be arranged adjacent to the inner end of the docking cavity 210, so as to correspond to the position of the cleaning member 202. The cleaning groove 211 is formed by the placement structure 21 being concave. After the floor brush mechanism 200 enters the docking cavity 210, the roller brush of the floor brush mechanism 200 can be accommodated in the cleaning groove 211. The cleaning groove 211 can be used to hold the sewage poured from the floor brush mechanism 200, and can also hold the sewage generated by the cleaning platform 2 cleaning the floor brush mechanism 200. The cleaning platform 2 can also include a second heating member 24, which is provided in the installation cavity 23 and arranged opposite to the cleaning groove 211. The second heating member 24 is used to heat the groove wall of the cleaning groove 211 to heat the cleaning member 202. The second heating element 24 can evaporate the water in the cleaning tank 211 , eliminating the need for the user to manually clean the accumulated water in the cleaning tank 211 , and can also speed up the drying efficiency of the cleaning element 202 .

[0186] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 and Fig.12 , the placement structure 21 may also be provided with a positioning groove 213, which is adapted to the walking component 201 of the floor brush mechanism 200. For example, the walking component 201 may be a walking wheel, and the depth of the positioning groove 213 may be reasonably set according to actual needs. In this way, when the floor brush mechanism is in the placement structure 21, the positioning groove 213 can be used to position the walking component 201, thereby ensuring that when the cleaning base station 100 performs operations such as charging and self-cleaning on the floor brush mechanism 200, the position of the floor brush mechanism 200 is fixed, ensuring smooth operation.

[0187] In some embodiments, reference Figure 4 and Figure 5The cleaning base station 100 further includes a charging unit 5, which is suitable for charging the cleaning device 300 when the floor brush mechanism 200 is in the placement structure 21, so that the charging function of the cleaning base station 100 can be realized.

[0188] In some embodiments, the charging unit 5 has a charging interface. When the floor brush mechanism 200 is in the placement structure 21, the charging interface and the floor brush mechanism 200 are connected. Figure 4 As shown, the charging interface is at the top of the docking cavity 210, and a charging electrode 51 may be provided at the charging interface. When the floor brush mechanism 200 is docked with the docking cavity 210, the connection terminal of the cleaning device 300 may be inserted into the charging interface and electrically connected to the charging electrode 51, thereby completing charging. In this way, the charging unit 5 has a simple structure and is easy to implement.

[0189] refer to Fig.13 In addition to the above-mentioned charging by wired means, the charging unit 5 can also be constructed as a wireless charging unit 5. Specifically, the charging unit 5 may include: a charging transmitter module 52 and a charging receiver module 53, wherein the charging transmitter module 52 is located in the installation cavity 23 of the cleaning platform 2, and the charging receiver module is located on the floor brush mechanism 200. After the floor brush mechanism 200 enters the docking cavity 210, the charging transmitter module 52 and the charging receiver module 53 are automatically connected and charging begins. In this way, it is unnecessary to set an exposed charging interface and a charging electrode 51 on the cleaning base station 100 and the floor brush mechanism 200, and the degree of automation is higher, which is conducive to improving the user experience.

[0190] In some embodiments, the charging interface is located on the accommodating portion, so that the floor brush mechanism 200 is connected to the charging interface when it is in the accommodating portion.

[0191] In some embodiments, the charging interface is located on the side of the docking cavity 210 opposite to the placement structure 21. In other words, the charging interface is located on the top wall of the docking cavity 210. In this way, the charging interface can be kept away from structures such as the cleaning tank 211 to ensure the safety of the charging process. Of course, this embodiment is not limited to this, and the charging interface can also be located on other side walls of the docking cavity 210.

[0192] In some embodiments, reference Fig.15 and Fig.16 The cleaning base station 100 may also include a drainage channel, one end of which is used to dock with the sewage tank 301 of the cleaning device 300 to discharge the sewage in the sewage tank 301. In this way, the cleaning base station 100 can drain the sewage tank 301, saving the user from manually dumping the sewage, and has more functions, which can better meet the user's use needs.

[0193] In some embodiments, a sewage bucket is further provided on the cleaning base station 100, and the other end of the sewage discharge channel away from the sewage tank 301 is connected to the sewage bucket. In this way, the sewage bucket can be used to temporarily store the sewage in the sewage tank 301 of the cleaning device 300.

[0194] In some embodiments, the drainage channel can be used to communicate with the drainage device outside the cleaning base station 100. For example, the drainage channel can also be directly connected to the sewer pipe to directly drain the sewage in the sewage tank 301. In this way, the drainage mode of the drainage channel is diverse and can adapt to more working conditions.

[0195] In some embodiments, reference Fig.15 and Fig.16 The cleaning base station 100 may also include a water inlet channel, one end of which is suitable for docking with the clean water tank 302 of the cleaning device 300, and the other end of the water inlet channel away from the clean water tank 302 is connected to a water source, where the water source may be an external water source or clean water stored in the cleaning base station 100 itself. In this way, the clean water tank 302 of the cleaning device 300 may be replenished with clean water by using the water inlet channel, eliminating the need for the user to remove the clean water tank 302 from the cleaning device 300 and then replenish water, thereby simplifying the water replenishment operation of the clean water tank 302, saving time and effort, and better satisfying the user's use experience.

[0196] In some embodiments, a clean water bucket is also provided on the cleaning base station, and the other end of the water inlet channel away from the clean water tank 302 is connected to the clean water bucket. In this way, the cleaning base station 100 can use the clean water stored in itself to replenish the cleaning device 300 with clean water, so as to save the user from removing the clean water tank 302 from the cleaning device 300 and then replenishing water, which simplifies the water replenishment operation of the clean water tank 302, saves time and effort, and can better meet the user experience.

[0197] The control method of the cleaning base station 100 of the present application is described below in combination with the above embodiments.

[0198] S101, in response to a rotation trigger instruction, controlling the cleaning platform to rotate along a first preset direction to drive the cleaning device on the cleaning platform to rotate synchronously;

[0199] Specifically, when a cleaning device 300 such as a floor scrubber needs to be put back into the cleaning base station 100, the user first directly pushes the floor brush mechanism 200 of the cleaning device 300 into the cleaning base station 100 through the guide structure of the cleaning base station 100, and makes the vacuum cleaner body of the cleaning device 300 stand upright relative to the floor brush mechanism 200 to avoid collision of the vacuum cleaner body during subsequent rotational movement. In this process, since the guide structure is directly connected to the placement surface 21, the pushing process of the cleaning device 300 is smooth and labor-saving.

[0200] Specifically, the cleaning base station 100 can detect whether the cleaning device 300 is set at the correct position of the placement surface 21 through a position sensor, or can determine whether the cleaning device 300 is set in place by detecting whether the cleaning device 300 is correctly connected to the corresponding interface of the cleaning base station 100. When the cleaning device 300 is detected to be on the cleaning platform 2, a rotation trigger instruction can be generated.

[0201] In some other exemplary embodiments, the rotation trigger instruction may be generated in response to a trigger operation of a control button. In other words, it may be triggered by a user through a control button.

[0202] Specifically, the cleaning platform 2 of the cleaning base station 100 can be rotated relative to the fixed base 1, for example, rotated to the front side of the cleaning device 300 facing the user (corresponding to a rotation of 180° in this case).

[0203] According to the rotation trigger instruction, the cleaning platform 2 of the cleaning base station 100 can rotate relative to the fixed base 1, for example, rotated until the front of the cleaning device 300 faces the user (corresponding to a rotation of 180°).

[0204] S102, controlling the cleaning base station to perform a self-cleaning operation on the cleaning device.

[0205] In some exemplary embodiments, when it is detected that the cleaning platform 2 rotates to a preset static position, the cleaning base station 100 can be controlled to perform a self-cleaning operation on the cleaning device 300; or, when it is detected that the floor brush mechanism 200 moves to the placement surface 21, the cleaning base station 100 can be controlled to perform a self-cleaning operation on the cleaning device 300. In this way, by controlling the cleaning base station 100 to perform a self-cleaning operation on the cleaning device 300 when it is detected that the floor brush mechanism 200 moves to the placement surface, the self-cleaning efficiency can be improved and the time spent on the rotation of the cleaning platform 2 can be saved. When it is detected that the cleaning platform 2 rotates to a preset static position, the cleaning base station 100 is controlled to perform a self-cleaning operation on the cleaning device 300, so as to avoid the situation in which the self-cleaning action is affected by the rotation of the cleaning platform 2 during the self-cleaning process.

[0206] Specifically, when the cleaning platform 2 drives the cleaning device 300 to rotate until the front of the cleaning device 300 faces the user (corresponding to a rotation of 180° at this time), the cleaning device 300 can charge the cleaning device 300, or perform a self-cleaning operation on the floor brush mechanism 200 to ensure the cleaning of the cleaning device 300.

[0207] In the embodiment of the present application, the preset static position may refer to the position of the cleaning platform 2 after rotating 180°, at which position the cleaning base station 100 performs self-cleaning or charging operations for the cleaning device 300 .

[0208] In one example, the preset static position may refer to the accommodation portion being located on a side of the cleaning platform close to the first guiding slope, that is, the second position of the cleaning platform 2 mentioned above.

[0209] The cleaning base station control method of the present application controls the cleaning platform to rotate along a first preset direction by setting the control logic to respond to a rotation trigger instruction, so as to drive the cleaning device to rotate synchronously; controls the cleaning base station to perform a self-cleaning operation on the cleaning device, so that when the cleaning base station 100 performs self-cleaning on the cleaning device 300, the cleaning device 300 can be adjusted to an angle that is convenient for the user to observe the body interaction interface and to lean against the wall, so as to prevent the cleaning device 300 from tipping over, better protect the cleaning device 300, and improve the overall aesthetics.

[0210] In some exemplary embodiments, the present invention may further include:

[0211] S201, when it is detected that the self-cleaning operation is completed, controlling the cleaning platform to rotate to a preset initial position to facilitate the placement of the sewage tank in the cleaning device;

[0212] Specifically, after step S102, that is, after the charging or self-cleaning operation is completed, the cleaning platform 2 can be rotated back to the preset initial position. In the embodiment of the present application, the preset initial position refers to the position where the back of the cleaning device 300 faces the user, which is also the corresponding position when the cleaning device 300 reaches the cleaning platform 2 from the guide structure. In this way, it is convenient for the user to take out the sewage tank 301 and other structures located at the rear side of the cleaning device 300 and clean the sewage tank 301.

[0213] S202, when it is detected that the sewage tank is placed on the body of the cleaning device, controlling the cleaning platform to rotate so as to drive the cleaning device to rotate synchronously to a preset static position;

[0214] After cleaning, the user can install the sewage tank 301 back into the cleaning device 300, and the cleaning base station 100 rotates the cleaning platform 2 again so that the front of the cleaning device 300 faces the user again, that is, the cleaning platform 2 drives the cleaning device 300 to rotate to the preset static position again.

[0215] S203, when it is detected that the cleaning platform rotates to the preset static position, the cleaning base station is controlled to perform a charging operation on the cleaning device.

[0216] Specifically, when the cleaning platform 2 drives the cleaning device 300 to rotate until the front of the cleaning device 300 faces the user (corresponding to a rotation of 180° at this time), the cleaning device 300 can be charged to ensure that the cleaning device 300 has sufficient power to prepare for the next cleaning task.

[0217] It should be noted that in some embodiments, before step S101, that is, controlling the cleaning platform 2 to rotate along the first preset direction, the sewage tank 301 and other structures in the cleaning device 300 can be removed, and the sewage tank 301 can be cleaned, and the cleaning device 300 can be reinstalled after the cleaning is completed. In this way, compared with the action flow of the above embodiment, after step S102, the cleaning platform 2 of the cleaning base station 100 can be rotated to the back of the cleaning device 300 facing the user, and after cleaning, the front of the cleaning device 300 is made to face the user again, and then the charging step is performed.

[0218] In addition, in some other embodiments, structures such as the sewage tank 301 of the cleaning device 300 can also be installed on the front side of the cleaning device 300. In this case, in step S101, the step of controlling the cleaning platform 2 to rotate along the first preset direction to drive the cleaning device 300 to rotate synchronously can be omitted, that is, after the cleaning device 300 is set to reach the cleaning platform 2, the cleaning platform 2 does not need to rotate, and the cleaning base station 100 directly charges the cleaning device 300 or performs self-cleaning operations.

[0219] In this way, it is convenient for the user to take out the sewage tank of the cleaning device 300 for cleaning and to charge the device 300, so that the self-cleaning operation and the charging operation can be performed independently.

[0220] In some embodiments, when it is detected that the cleaning device 300 is on the placement surface 21, a rotation trigger instruction is generated;

[0221] Or, in response to a trigger operation of a control button, a rotation trigger instruction is generated, that is, the rotation trigger instruction may be generated by a user manually triggering the control button;

[0222] Alternatively, a rotation trigger instruction is generated in response to a voice trigger operation, that is, the rotation trigger instruction may be generated by voice interaction between the user and the cleaning base station 100 .

[0223] In this way, by adopting different methods to generate the rotation trigger instruction, the flexibility of the rotation trigger can be improved, so that the user can make adjustments according to their own needs.

[0224] Correspondingly, such as Fig.18 As shown, similar to the process of placing the cleaning device 300 on the cleaning base station 100, the cleaning base station 100 in this embodiment, after executing step S102 of the aforementioned control method, that is, controlling the cleaning base station to charge and / or self-clean the cleaning device, can also perform the following action steps to perform the workflow of taking the cleaning device 300 out of the cleaning base station 100:

[0225] S301. When it is detected that the cleaning device needs to be taken out, the cleaning platform is controlled to rotate to drive the cleaning device to rotate to a preset initial position.

[0226] Among them, Fig.19 As shown, the step of determining that the cleaning device 300 needs to be taken out can be completed by a user instruction, or the cleaning base station 100 or the cleaning device 300 can automatically confirm. Accordingly, according to different working conditions, the cleaning platform 2 can be controlled to rotate from other directions, such as the direction in which the front of the cleaning device 300 faces the user, to the initial position in which the cleaning device 300 is placed on the cleaning base station 100. At this time, the back of the cleaning device 300 faces the user, and the cleaning device 300 can be removed from the placement surface 21 of the cleaning base station 100 through the guiding slope to perform subsequent cleaning.

[0227] The utility model also provides an electronic device, comprising: a memory and a processor, wherein the memory stores a computer program, and the processor is used to execute the computer program stored in the memory to implement the above-mentioned cleaning base station control method.

[0228] In this way, a clean docking station control method can be implemented to improve user experience.

[0229] The floor brush mechanism 200 according to the second embodiment of the utility model is described below.

[0230] The floor brush mechanism 200 of this embodiment can be applied to the cleaning base station 100 in the above embodiment. For example, the floor brush mechanism 200 can be moved to the placement structure 21 via the guide slope of the cleaning base station 100 to perform operations such as charging and self-cleaning.

[0231] According to the floor brush mechanism 200 of the embodiment of the utility model, when charging, self-cleaning and other operations are required, the user can push the floor brush mechanism 200 to the placement structure 21 through the guiding slope of the cleaning base station 100 to perform the corresponding operation. The process is simple and labor-saving, which is conducive to improving the user experience. In addition, since the cleaning platform 2 is rotatable, when the cleaning device 300 with the floor brush mechanism 200 is charged or self-cleaned, the cleaning device 300 can be adjusted to an angle that is convenient for the user to observe the body interaction interface and to lean against the wall, so as to prevent the cleaning device 300 from tipping over, better protect the cleaning device 300, and improve the overall aesthetics.

[0232] The cleaning device 300 according to the third embodiment of the present invention is described below.

[0233] refer to Figure 10-13, the cleaning device 300 of this embodiment can be a floor scrubber, a vacuum cleaner or other devices. The cleaning device 300 includes a body and a floor brush mechanism 200 in the above embodiment, wherein the floor brush mechanism 200 can be used to clean the floor, the desktop, and the like to be cleaned, the body can be used to set components such as a control device to control the operating state of the floor brush mechanism 200, and the body can be rotatably connected to the floor brush mechanism 200, so that the angle of the body relative to the floor brush mechanism 200 can be adjusted for the user to hold and use. When the floor brush mechanism 200 has cleaned the surface to be cleaned, it can be moved to the placement structure 21 via the guide slope of the cleaning base station 100 to perform operations such as charging and self-cleaning. In addition, when performing operations such as charging and self-cleaning, the cleaning platform 2 can be rotated to adjust the cleaning device 300 to an angle that is convenient for the user to observe the interactive interface of the body and to lean against the wall to prevent the cleaning device 300 from tipping over.

[0234] According to the cleaning device 300 of the embodiment of the utility model, since it has the floor brush mechanism 200 in the above embodiment, when the floor brush mechanism 200 has finished cleaning the surface to be cleaned and needs to perform operations such as charging and self-cleaning, the user can push the body or the floor brush mechanism 200 to move the floor brush mechanism 200 to the placement structure 21 via the guide slope to perform corresponding operations. The process is simple and labor-saving, which is conducive to improving the user experience. In addition, since the cleaning platform 2 is rotatable, when the cleaning device 300 with the floor brush mechanism 200 is charging or self-cleaning, the cleaning device 300 can be adjusted to an angle that is convenient for the user to observe the body interaction interface and to lean against the wall, so as to prevent the cleaning device 300 from tipping over, better protect the cleaning device 300, and improve the overall aesthetics.

[0235] The cleaning system 400 according to the fourth aspect of the present invention is described below.

[0236] The cleaning system 400 of this embodiment includes the cleaning base station 100 and the cleaning device 300 in the above embodiment. The cleaning base station 100 is used to adapt to the floor brush mechanism 200 of the cleaning device 300, and the cleaning base station 100 at least cleans the cleaning member 202 on the floor brush mechanism 200.

[0237] According to the cleaning system 400 of the embodiment of the utility model, by setting the cleaning base station 100 and the cleaning device 300 of the above embodiment, when the cleaning device 300 cleans the surface to be cleaned and needs to perform charging, self-cleaning and other operations, the user can push the body or the floor brush mechanism 200 to move the floor brush mechanism 200 to the placement structure 21 via the guide slope to perform the corresponding operation. The process is simple and labor-saving, which is conducive to improving the user experience. In addition, since the cleaning platform 2 is rotatable, when the cleaning device 300 with the floor brush mechanism 200 is charging or self-cleaning, the cleaning device 300 can be adjusted to an angle that is convenient for the user to observe the body interaction interface and to lean against the wall, so as to prevent the cleaning device 300 from tipping over, better protect the cleaning device 300, and improve the overall aesthetics.

[0238] Some specific embodiments of the cleaning base station 100 according to the present invention are described below.

In addition, the cleaning base station 100 may also include a water tank, which can be set in the installation cavity 23 of the cleaning platform 2, and the water tank is suitable for docking with the waterway of the cleaning device 300, so that the cleaning base station 100 can receive sewage or clean water on the cleaning device 300, so as to facilitate sewage discharge or cleaning operations for the cleaning device 300.

[0241] In some embodiments, reference Fig.15 and Fig.16The cleaning base station 100 may also include a sewage discharge channel and a water inlet channel. One end of the sewage discharge channel is used to dock with the sewage tank 301 of the cleaning device 300 to discharge the sewage in the sewage tank 301. The cleaning base station 100 is also provided with a sewage bucket. The other end of the sewage discharge channel away from the sewage tank 301 is connected to the sewage bucket. In this way, the sewage in the sewage tank 301 of the cleaning device 300 can be temporarily stored in the sewage bucket. One end of the water inlet channel is suitable for docking with the clean water tank 302 of the cleaning device 300, and the other end of the water inlet channel away from the clean water tank 302 is connected to a water source. Here, the water source can be an external water source or clean water stored in the cleaning base station 100 itself. In this way, the water inlet channel can be used to replenish clean water for the clean water tank 302 of the cleaning device 300, eliminating the need for the user to remove the clean water tank 302 from the cleaning device 300 and then replenish water, simplifying the water replenishment operation of the clean water tank 302, saving time and effort, and better satisfying the user experience.

[0242] Embodiment 2:

Specifically, at least part of the structure of the guide portion 12 can be moved relative to the base 11 so that the first end of the guide slope is separated from the ground, so that the floor brush mechanism 200 can be prevented from sliding off the guide slope, thereby ensuring the stability of the floor brush mechanism 200 on the cleaning platform 2.

[0244] In some embodiments, the guide portion 12 includes a first guide portion 122 away from the cleaning platform 2 and a second guide portion 123 close to the cleaning platform 2. The first guide portion 122 and the second guide portion 123 are rotatably connected via a horizontal rotating shaft, and the first guide portion 122 can rotate relative to the second guide portion 123, so that the end of the first guide portion 122 away from the second guide portion 123 is higher than the second guide portion 123. In this way, after the floor brush mechanism 200 moves to the cleaning platform 2, the first guide portion 122 can be controlled to rotate relative to the second guide portion 123, so that the first guide portion 122 is higher than the bottom end of the second guide portion 123. In this way, it can be ensured that the floor brush mechanism 200 cannot retreat to the ground via the guide portion 12. In addition, the overall structure of the guide portion 12 is relatively simple and easy to implement.
