Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of cleaning equipment, and in particular to a base station and a cleaning system. Background Art

[0002] With the development of science and technology and the improvement of people's quality of life, cleaning equipment is increasingly used in people's lives.

[0003] The use of cleaning equipment has greatly reduced the burden of manpower. Take the floor scrubber as an example. After the floor scrubber is placed back to the carrier base station after completing the cleaning work, it performs self-cleaning action. The cleaning process of the roller brush is generally divided into two steps: washing the roller brush with hot water and drying the roller brush. In the current floor scrubber base station, the two steps are completed using two different structures. In the hot water washing stage, the water for cleaning the roller brush is heated by setting a heating component such as a PTC heater under the base of the roller brush receiving slot on the base station. In the hot drying stage, the heated air around the resistance wire is usually blown to the surface of the roller brush through the air duct in the base station by heating with a resistance wire and blowing with a fan. However, the above two sets of structures are complex, which not only increases the difficulty of assembly, but also increases the manufacturing cost. More importantly, in the hot drying stage, the hot air can only dry the surface of the roller brush, and it is difficult to effectively dry the water molecules inside the roller brush, which makes the drying time of the roller brush longer and the energy consumption higher, reducing the self-cleaning efficiency of the roller brush. Utility Model Content

[0004] The present application provides a base station and a cleaning system, which can simplify the structure and reduce costs while effectively improving the self-cleaning efficiency of the roller brush in the cleaning system.

[0005] A first aspect of the present application provides a base station for storing cleaning equipment, comprising:

[0006] A base, wherein the base is provided with a cleaning groove for accommodating a roller brush of a cleaning device, and an accommodating space is provided inside the base;

[0007] a transmission plate, the transmission plate constituting at least a portion of the bottom of the cleaning tank;

[0008] an infrared heater, the infrared heater being disposed in the accommodation space and configured to emit infrared rays, at least a portion of which is radiated into the cleaning tank through the transmission plate;

[0009] The fan is located in the base (210), and has an air outlet. The wind blown out through the air outlet passes through the infrared heater and transmits the infrared heat emitted by the infrared heater to the roller brush.

[0010] The present application can perform infrared self-cleaning on the roller brush by setting an infrared heater in the base station and using a transmission plate and a fan in combination. The structure is simple and easy to assemble, and the production cost of the cleaning system can be effectively reduced. Among them, the infrared rays can heat the water in the cleaning tank through the transmission plate to clean the roller brush with hot water, which can effectively improve the cleaning effect of the roller brush. In addition, the infrared rays can quickly penetrate the material surface of the roller brush and directly transfer the energy to the inside and surface of the roller brush, reducing the loss of heat, which can effectively speed up the drying speed of the roller brush, reduce the drying time, improve the drying efficiency of the roller brush, reduce energy consumption, and thus effectively improve the self-cleaning efficiency of the roller brush. The fan can transfer the heat generated by the infrared heater to the roller brush, which can effectively increase the heat transferred to the roller brush and clean water, reduce the loss of heat, and thus effectively improve the self-cleaning effect of the infrared heating device on the roller brush.

[0011] In one possible implementation, the infrared heater is located at the bottom of the cleaning tank.

[0012] In this way, most of the infrared heat emitted by the infrared heater can be radiated to the cleaning tank. When the roller brush is in the cleaning tank for self-cleaning, the infrared heat emitted by the infrared heater can efficiently heat the clean water in the cleaning tank and efficiently dry the roller brush, which can effectively improve the cleaning and drying effects of the roller brush, thereby effectively improving the self-cleaning effect of the roller brush.

[0013] In one possible implementation, a reflective member is connected to the transmission plate, and the reflective member is located on the side of the infrared heater facing away from the roller brush. At least part of the infrared rays are reflected by the reflective member to the transmission plate and radiated to the roller brush through the transmission plate.

[0014] The reflector can reflect infrared rays from other directions onto the roller brush, which can effectively reduce or avoid the waste and loss of infrared rays and improve the utilization rate of infrared rays, thereby effectively improving the heating efficiency of the infrared heater for clean water and the drying efficiency for the roller brush, thereby effectively improving the self-cleaning efficiency of the roller brush.

[0015] In a possible implementation, at least one side of the reflector facing the infrared heater is a curved structure, and the reflector is concave inwardly in a direction away from the infrared heater.

[0016] The curved reflector can gather the reflected infrared rays during the process of reflecting infrared rays, so that the reflected infrared rays can be gathered and projected on the roller brush. This can effectively reduce or avoid the heat dissipation of infrared rays, effectively avoid the loss of infrared rays, and improve the utilization rate of infrared rays, thereby effectively improving the heating and drying efficiency of the infrared heater.

[0017] In one possible implementation, the roller brush is arranged parallel to the infrared heater, and on a plane perpendicular to the axis of the roller brush, an ellipse is defined with the center of the infrared heater and the center of the roller brush as foci, and the curved surface structure of the reflector facing the infrared heater falls on the part of the ellipse on the side of the infrared heater facing away from the roller brush.

[0018] By making the curved surface structure of the side of the reflector facing the infrared heater overlap with the part of the ellipse on the side of the infrared heater facing away from the roller brush. According to the characteristics of the ellipse shape, the light emitted from one of the focuses of the ellipse can be reflected to the other focus after radiating to the elliptical curve and being reflected by the elliptical curve. For example, the light emitted from the center of the infrared heater can be reflected to the center of the roller brush after radiating to the elliptical curve and being reflected by the elliptical curve. In other words, after the infrared light emitted by the infrared heater is radiated to the reflector that coincides with the ellipse, it can be reflected by the reflector, and the direction of the reflected infrared light can be toward the center of the roller brush. In this way, the accuracy of reflecting infrared radiation to the roller brush can be effectively improved, and the loss of infrared light can be effectively reduced, thereby effectively improving the utilization rate of infrared light, and improving the self-cleaning efficiency and effectiveness of the cleaning system.

[0019] In one possible implementation, the length of the major axis of the ellipse is 12 mm to 35 mm.

[0020] The long axis of the ellipse can reflect the distance between the reflector and the infrared heater. That is, the longer the long axis of the ellipse is, the greater the distance between the reflector and the infrared heater is. The shorter the long axis of the ellipse is, the smaller the distance between the reflector and the infrared heater is.

[0021] By making the major axis of the ellipse satisfy the above-mentioned value range, while ensuring that the reflector reflects infrared rays, the rationality of the layout between the reflector and the infrared heater can be improved, and the structural compactness between the reflector and the infrared heater can be improved, which is beneficial to reducing the space occupied by the drying components in the base and improving the spatial layout inside the base.

[0022] In one possible implementation, the length of the minor axis of the ellipse is 10 mm to 32 mm.

[0023] The minor axis of the ellipse can reflect the curve radius of the reflector and the width of the reflector. That is, when the major axis of the ellipse is constant, the smaller the minor axis, the smaller the width of the reflector. The longer the minor axis, the larger the width of the reflector.

[0024] By making the minor axis of the ellipse meet the above value range, the width of the reflector can be within a reasonable range, so that the reflector can provide a better infrared reflection effect, reduce or avoid infrared loss, and help improve the utilization rate of infrared. Moreover, under the premise of satisfying the infrared reflection of the reflector, the width of the reflector can be reduced, which can effectively reduce the space occupied by the reflector in the base, improve the structural compactness of the reflector, and thus effectively improve the spatial layout inside the base.

[0025] In a possible implementation, the infrared heater is a cylindrical structure, the cross-sectional radius of the infrared heater is R, and the distance from the intersection of the major axis of the ellipse and the side of the infrared heater facing away from the roller brush to the intersection of the major axis of the ellipse and the reflector is A;

[0026] The R and A satisfy the following relationship:

[0027] 1 / 2R<A<3 / 2R.

[0028] The value of A can reflect the distance between the reflector and the infrared heater, that is, the longer the length of A, the farther the distance between the reflector and the infrared heater. The shorter the length of A, the closer the distance between the reflector and the infrared heater. By making A and the radius of the ellipse satisfy the above relationship value, the distance between the reflector and the infrared heater can be made more reasonable. The reflector can effectively reflect the infrared rays emitted by the infrared heater to project them onto the roller brush. It can effectively reduce or avoid the waste and loss of infrared rays, effectively improve the utilization rate of infrared rays, and thus effectively improve the self-cleaning efficiency of the cleaning system.

[0029] In one possible implementation, the value of R is equal to the value of A.

[0030] This value can effectively improve the reflection effect of the reflector and infrared rays, can effectively reduce or avoid the waste and loss of infrared rays, effectively improve the utilization rate of infrared rays, and thus effectively improve the self-cleaning efficiency of the cleaning system.

[0031] In a possible implementation, the curved surface structure of the reflector facing the infrared heater is in a parabolic shape.

[0032] The parabolic reflector also has a good focusing effect on the reflection of light, and can concentrate the infrared rays projected on the reflector to the roller brush. It can effectively improve the reflection effect of the reflector, reduce the loss of infrared rays, and thus effectively improve the self-cleaning efficiency of the roller brush.

[0033] In a possible implementation, the transmission plate is sealed and connected to the reflective member, the transmission plate and the reflective member are jointly arranged to form a sealed cavity, and the infrared heater is located in the sealed cavity.

[0034] The sealed cavity formed by the reflector and the transmission plate can provide sealing protection for the infrared heater, which can effectively reduce or prevent external water stains, stains, etc. from entering the infrared heater. It prevents water stains, stains, etc. from entering the infrared heater and damaging the infrared heater, thereby affecting the drying work of the roller brush of the base station. It can effectively increase the service life of the infrared heater and improve the reliability and stability of the base station drying system.

[0035] In a possible implementation, a sealing buffer gasket is further included, at least a portion of which is located between the transmission plate and the reflective element, and the transmission plate and the reflective element are sealed and connected via the sealing buffer gasket.

[0036] The sealing buffer pad can provide a sealing effect between the transmission plate and the reflective element, which can effectively improve the sealing of the sealed cavity, reduce or avoid external water stains and stains from entering the sealed cavity, prevent water stains and stains from entering the sealed cavity and causing damage to the infrared heater, which is beneficial to improving the protection of the infrared heater.

[0037] In addition, the sealing cushion can also play a buffering role between the transmission plate and the reflective component. During the handling and transportation of the cleaning system, vibration is inevitable. The sealing cushion can effectively reduce or avoid rigid impact between the transmission plate and the reflective component, prevent the rigid impact from damaging the transmission plate, and help improve the protection of the transmission plate.

[0038] In a possible implementation, at least a portion of the sealing buffer gasket is also located between the transmission plate and the base, and the transmission plate and the base are sealed and connected via the sealing buffer gasket.

[0039] The sealing buffer pad can provide a seal between the transmission plate and the base, which can prevent water stains and dirt on the cleaning tank from entering the base through the gap between the transmission plate and the base, thereby damaging the components inside the base, and helping to improve the sealing protection of the base station.

[0040] Moreover, the sealing buffer pad can also play a buffering role between the transmission plate and the base, which can avoid rigid impact between the transmission plate and the reflector during handling and transportation, prevent the transmission plate from being damaged by rigid impact, and help to improve the protection of the transmission plate.

[0041] In one possible implementation, it also includes a ventilation duct, one end of which is connected to the air outlet of the fan, and the other end is connected to the side of the reflector facing away from the infrared heater, and the wind blown by the fan is blown to the side of the reflector facing away from the infrared heater through the ventilation duct.

[0042] This part of the air volume can take away the heat on the side of the reflector facing away from the infrared heater, and transport it to the roller brush for drying with the roller brush. In addition, by taking away the heat on the side of the reflector facing away from the infrared heater, the reflector can also be cooled to reduce the temperature of the reflector. This can reduce or avoid the occurrence of cracks and damages caused by excessive temperature of the reflector, help improve the protection of the reflector, and extend the service life of the reflector.

[0043] Moreover, it can also prevent the reflector from being damaged and affecting its reflection effect on infrared rays, and prevent infrared rays from radiating outward through the cracks on the reflector, which helps to improve the stability and reliability of the reflector. In addition, it can also prevent the reflector from being broken and affecting the sealing protection of the infrared heater. It can prevent external water stains, stains, etc. from entering the infrared heater through the cracks of the reflector, thereby affecting the normal operation of the infrared heater, which helps to improve the reliability and stability of the infrared heater.

[0044] In a possible implementation, the base is further provided with ventilation holes, and the ventilation holes are located on a part of the circumference of the roller brush;

[0045] The ventilation duct is also connected to the ventilation hole, and the wind blown out by the fan is also blown toward the roller brush through the ventilation hole.

[0046] The wind blown by the fan can enter the ventilation duct through the air outlet, and reach the side of the reflector facing away from the infrared heater through the ventilation duct, and finally reach the roller brush through the ventilation hole. In the process of passing through the reflector, the air volume can take away the heat around the reflector and transfer the heat to the roller brush through the ventilation hole. The heat can dry the roller brush, and the air volume can realize the circulation of air, which can effectively improve the contact effect between the roller brush and the heat, thereby effectively improving the drying effect of the roller brush.

[0047] In a possible implementation, the infrared heater extends from one end of the roller brush along the axis of the roller brush to the other end of the roller brush.

[0048] In this way, the infrared radiation of the infrared heater can cover the entire length of the roller brush, which can effectively increase the coverage of the infrared radiation on the roller brush. The infrared radiation can dry the entire roller brush and heat the clean water over the entire length of the roller brush, which can effectively speed up the drying of the roller brush and the heating speed of the clean water, reduce the drying and heating time, and thus effectively improve the self-cleaning efficiency of the roller brush.

[0049] Moreover, by extending the infrared heater from one end of the roller brush to the other end of the roller brush, the uniformity of the contact between the infrared rays and the clean water and the roller brush can be effectively improved, and the situation where the clean water is partially heated while others are not heated, and the roller brush is partially dried while others are not dried can be reduced or avoided. The uniformity of the clean water and its heat and the drying of the roller brush can be effectively improved, thereby effectively improving the self-cleaning effect of the roller brush.

[0050] In a possible implementation, the transmissive plate is transmissive glass.

[0051] The transmission glass has good light transmission performance and low light shielding, so that all the infrared rays emitted by the infrared heater are transmitted to the clean water and the roller brush. It can effectively increase the transmittance of infrared rays on the transmission plate and reduce the loss of infrared rays, thereby effectively improving the self-cleaning efficiency of infrared rays on the roller brush.

[0052] In one possible implementation, the base station further includes a controller, which is electrically connected to the fan and / or the infrared heater, and is used to control the start or stop of the fan and / or the infrared heater.

[0053] The fan and infrared heater can be started or stopped through the controller, eliminating the need for users to manually start or stop the fan and infrared heater, which can effectively improve the degree of automation of roller brush self-cleaning and thus effectively enhance user experience.

[0054] In a possible implementation, the cleaning device includes a body, the body has an operation button, and when the cleaning device is located on the base station, the operation button is connected to the controller signal;

[0055] The operation button is used to send a control signal to the controller, so that the controller controls the start or stop of the fan and / or the infrared heater according to the control signal.

[0056] The operation button can facilitate the user to operate the self-cleaning of the roller brush, which can improve the reliability and stability of the self-cleaning of the roller brush. Moreover, by setting the operation button on the body, the position of the body is relatively high, and the user does not need to bend or squat when operating the operation button, which can facilitate the user's operation, help improve the rationality of the operation button setting, and enhance the user experience.

[0057] In a possible implementation, the cleaning device includes a signal output interface, and the signal output interface is electrically connected to the operation button;

[0058] The base station further comprises a signal input interface, wherein the signal input interface is electrically connected to the controller;

[0059] When the cleaning device is located at the base station, the signal output interface is electrically connected to the signal input interface, and the operation button is connected to the controller signal through the electrical connection between the signal input interface and the signal output interface.

[0060] Through the electrical connection between the signal input interface and the signal output interface, the signal connection can be achieved between the operation button and the controller, so that the user can send control instructions to the controller through the operation button. It is convenient for users to operate, which helps to improve the operability of the cleaning system and enhance the user experience. Moreover, the signal transmission between the signal input interface and the signal output interface is stable and not prone to disconnection, which can effectively improve the reliability and stability of the signal transmission between the operation button and the controller, and improve the reliability and stability of the overall operation of the cleaning system.

[0061] In a possible implementation, it further includes a detection device, which is disposed close to the roller brush and is connected to the controller by signal;

[0062] The detection device is used to detect the temperature and humidity signals of the roller brush and transmit the temperature and humidity signals to the controller. The controller is used to control the start and stop of the infrared heater and / or the fan according to the temperature and humidity signals.

[0063] By setting up a detection device around the roller brush, the controller can flexibly adjust the infrared heater and the fan according to the temperature and humidity detected by the detection device, so that the infrared heater and the fan are always within a reasonable working intensity range. It can effectively reduce or avoid energy waste, help reduce the self-cleaning energy consumption of the cleaning system, and improve the self-cleaning efficiency.

[0064] In a possible implementation, a fixed bracket is further included, one end of the fixed bracket is connected to the infrared heater, and the other end of the fixed bracket is connected to the base, and the infrared heater is connected to the base through the fixed bracket.

[0065] The fixing bracket can limit and fix the infrared heater, which can effectively improve the reliability and firmness of the connection between the infrared heater and the base, and improve the reliability and stability of the infrared heater in the base. Moreover, it can effectively reduce or avoid the shaking of the infrared heater, thereby damaging the infrared heater, helping to improve the protection of the infrared heater and extend the service life of the infrared heater.

[0067] The cleaning device comprises a roller brush. When the cleaning device is parked at the base station, the roller brush is located in a cleaning tank of the base station.

[0068] By making the cleaning system include the above-mentioned base station, the infrared rays emitted by the infrared heater in the base station can heat the water in the cleaning tank through the transmission plate to clean the roller brush with hot water, which can effectively improve the cleaning effect of the roller brush. In addition, the infrared rays can quickly penetrate the material surface of the roller brush and directly transfer energy to the inside and surface of the roller brush, reducing heat loss, which can effectively speed up the drying speed of the roller brush, reduce the drying time, improve the drying efficiency of the roller brush, reduce energy consumption, and effectively improve the self-cleaning efficiency of the roller brush. The fan can transfer the heat generated by the infrared heater to the roller brush, which can effectively increase the heat transferred to the roller brush and clean water, reduce heat loss, and effectively improve the self-cleaning effect of the infrared heating device on the roller brush.

[0093] As described in the background art, the existing cleaning system takes a long time to dry the roller brush and consumes a high amount of energy for drying, which reduces the drying efficiency of the roller brush.

[0094] In order to solve the above problems, the present application provides a base station and a cleaning system. By setting an infrared heater in the base station and using a transmission plate and a fan in combination, the roller brush can be infrared self-cleaned. The structure is simple and easy to assemble, which can effectively reduce the production cost of the cleaning system. Among them, the infrared rays can heat the water in the cleaning tank through the transmission plate to wash the roller brush with hot water, which can effectively improve the cleaning effect of the roller brush. In addition, the infrared rays can quickly penetrate the material surface of the roller brush and directly transfer the energy to the inside and surface of the roller brush, reducing the loss of heat, which can effectively speed up the drying speed of the roller brush, reduce the drying time, improve the drying efficiency of the roller brush, reduce energy consumption, and effectively improve the self-cleaning efficiency of the roller brush. The fan can transfer the heat generated by the infrared heater to the roller brush, which can effectively increase the heat transferred to the roller brush and clean water, reduce the loss of heat, and effectively improve the self-cleaning effect of the infrared heating device on the roller brush.

[0095] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are 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 are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0096] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of a cleaning system provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0097] The present application embodiment provides a base station 200 and a cleaning system 10 including the base station 200, see Figure 1 As shown, the cleaning system 10 may include a cleaning device and a base station 200, wherein the cleaning device may be a household handheld floor scrubber, and the cleaning device is mainly used to clean stains and dust on the surface to be cleaned, and the surface to be cleaned may be a floor, a wall, or a surface of an object to be cleaned with different degrees of roughness. The embodiment of the present application does not specifically limit the type of the surface to be cleaned.

[0098] The base station 200 can provide storage, charging, and cleaning for the cleaning equipment. For example, after the cleaning equipment completes the cleaning work of the surface to be cleaned, it can be placed on the base station 200. To achieve the storage of the cleaning equipment, the base station 200 can be connected to a power source so that the base station 200 can charge the cleaning equipment. The cleaning equipment can also clean the cleaning equipment so that the cleaning equipment itself can be kept clean, so as to improve the cleaning effect of the cleaning equipment on the surface to be cleaned.

[0099] Figure 2 An exploded view of a cleaning system provided in an embodiment of the present application, Figure 3A schematic diagram of the structure of a base station provided in an embodiment of the present application is provided. Figure 4 An exploded view of a base station provided in an embodiment of the present application, Figure 5 A cross-sectional view of a base station provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0100] See also Figure 2 As shown, the cleaning device may include a floor brush 100. When in operation, the cleaning device moves on the surface to be cleaned, and the surface to be cleaned is cleaned by the floor brush 100 contacting and rubbing with the surface to be cleaned.

[0101] The floor brush 100 may include a housing (not shown in the figure), a roller brush 110 and a running wheel (not shown in the figure). The housing is the main supporting structure of the floor brush 100, and the roller brush 110 and the running wheel may be both mounted on the housing. For example, the housing may have a receiving cavity, the roller brush 110 may be located in the receiving cavity of the housing, and the roller brush 110 may rotate around the axial direction of the roller brush 110 itself.

[0102] When the cleaning device is cleaning, the roller brush 110 contacts the surface to be cleaned, and the motor installed in the roller brush 110 drives the roller brush 110 to rotate at a high speed, so that the roller brush 110 can make friction contact with the surface to be cleaned to clean the surface. The walking wheel contacts the surface to be cleaned and rolls along the surface to be cleaned to assist the cleaning device to walk on the surface to be cleaned, which can improve the stability of the floor brush 100 walking on the surface to be cleaned.

[0103] The cleaning device may also include a clean water tank, which can provide cleaning liquid to the roller brush 110 to soak the roller brush 110, so that the roller brush 110 can soak the stains on the surface to be cleaned during the cleaning process, reduce the adhesion of the stains, and thus facilitate cleaning the stains from the surface to be cleaned.

[0104] Along the moving direction of the floor brush 100, the roller brush 110 can be installed at the front end of the housing, and the running wheel can be installed at the rear end of the housing. This makes it easy to control the moving direction of the floor brush 100, which is conducive to maintaining the balance of the floor brush 100 during the moving process. In addition, the roller brush 110 preferentially contacts the surface to be cleaned, and there is no obstruction in front of the roller brush 110, which is conducive to the roller brush 110 cleaning the surface to be cleaned.

[0105] The cleaning device may further include a body (not shown in the figure), and the floor brush 100 may be rotatably connected to the bottom of the body. During the cleaning process, the user may hold the body in hand and swing the body to rotate the floor brush 100 relative to the body, so that the floor brush 100 can move to different areas (for example, under a table, under a cabinet, etc.), so that the floor brush 100 can clean different areas.

[0106] The machine body may be equipped with components such as a clean water tank (not shown in the figure) and a dirty water tank (not shown in the figure). The clean water tank is used to contain cleaning liquid. When the cleaning device is working, the cleaning liquid in the clean water tank is sprayed on the floor brush 100 or the surface to be cleaned in front of the floor brush 100, so as to cooperate with the floor brush 100 to clean the surface to be cleaned. The dirty water on the surface to be cleaned (together with foreign matter such as particles and hair) is sucked into the dirty water tank, thereby completing the cleaning process.

[0107] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the base station 200 may include a base 210, and the base 210 may have a cleaning groove 211 for accommodating the roller brush 110. When the cleaning device is docked on the base station 200, the roller brush 110 may be located in the cleaning groove 211, and the roller brush 110 may be cleaned and dried in the cleaning groove 211.

[0108] See also Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the base station 200 may further include an infrared heater 220, a transmission plate 230 and a fan 250. The base 210 serves as the main supporting structure of the base station 200, and the infrared heater 220 and the fan 250 may be both installed on the base 210. For example, the base 210 may have a receiving space 213, and the infrared heater 220 and the fan 250 may be both located in the receiving space 213 of the base 210, so that the base 210 may install and fix the above-mentioned structural components.

[0109] Continue to see Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the base station 200 may further include a transmission plate 230, and the transmission plate 230 may constitute at least a portion of the bottom of the cleaning tank 211. For example, the transmission plate 230 may be connected to the base 210, and the transmission plate 230 may be located between the infrared heater and the roller brush 110. The infrared heater 220 may be used to emit infrared rays, and at least a portion of the infrared rays may be radiated into the cleaning tank 211 through the transmission plate 230.

[0110] When the roller brush is in the cleaning tank 211 for self-cleaning, the clean water tank can deliver clean water to the roller brush 110, and the clean water can be temporarily stored in the cleaning tank 211. The infrared heat radiated into the cleaning tank through the transmission plate can heat the clean water in the cleaning tank and the roller brush 110, so as to perform hot water cleaning on the roller brush 110, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the clean water on the roller brush 110. After the clean water cleans the roller brush 110, it can become sewage, which can be sucked into the sewage suction pipe and sucked into the sewage tank through the sewage suction pipe. In addition, the infrared heat radiated into the cleaning tank 211 can also dry the roller brush to reduce the moisture of the roller brush 110.

[0111] During this process, the roller brush 110 can rotate (for example, it can rotate forward and reverse) to improve the contact effect between the roller brush 110 and the clean water and infrared heat, thereby effectively improving the cleaning and drying effect of the roller brush 110.

[0112] For example, the infrared heater 220 may be a carbon fiber heating tube. When the drying process is started, current may be transmitted to the carbon fiber heating tube. The current passes through the carbon fiber heating tube, causing the molecules inside the carbon fiber heating tube to move, thereby converting electrical energy into heat energy. The heat energy may be quickly and evenly radiated to the surrounding of the roller brush 110 in the form of infrared radiation, so as to dry the roller brush 110.

[0113] For example, the wavelength of infrared rays may be between 1.5 μm and 15 μm. The light in this wavelength band can be effectively absorbed by organic matter, and the intensity of infrared radiation can be increased by more than 30%, which has a stronger infrared radiation effect.

[0114] The infrared rays generated by the infrared heater 220 can quickly penetrate the material surface of the roller brush 110 and directly transfer the energy to the inside and surface of the roller brush 110 , which can effectively speed up the drying speed of the roller brush 110 and improve the drying efficiency of the roller brush 110 .

[0115] Moreover, infrared rays can provide uniform heat distribution, which can effectively reduce or avoid the situation where the roller brush 110 is locally overheated or not dried, and can effectively improve the drying quality.

[0116] In addition, compared with traditional hot air drying, the infrared heater 220 provided in the embodiment of the present application can transfer heat directly to the surface and interior of the roller brush 110, and its heat conduction loss is low, which has a better energy-saving effect.

[0117] The transmission plate 230 can isolate the infrared heater 220 and the roller brush 110 from each other, reduce or avoid direct contact between the roller brush 110 and the infrared heater 220, prevent water stains, dirt, etc. on the roller brush 110 from entering the infrared heater 220, and avoid water stains and dirt from entering the infrared heater 220 and damaging the infrared heater 220, which is beneficial to improving the protection of the infrared heater 220.

[0118] For example, the transmission plate 230 may be in the shape of a convex lens, and the transmission plate 230 in the shape of a convex lens may gather the light passing through, so that the infrared rays passing through the transmission plate 230 may be gathered and thus projected on the roller brush 110. This may effectively increase the amount of infrared rays projected on the roller brush 110, reduce the waste of infrared rays, thereby effectively improving the utilization rate of infrared rays, and improving the drying efficiency of the roller brush 110 by the infrared heating device.

[0119] Continue to see Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the base station 200 may further include a fan 250, which may be connected to the base 210. The fan 250 may have an air outlet, and the wind blown out through the air outlet may pass through the infrared heater 220, and transmit the infrared heat emitted by the infrared heater 220 to the roller brush 110. For example, the air outlet may be toward the side of the infrared heater 220 that is away from the roller brush 110, and communicate with the space around the roller brush 110. The wind blown out of the air outlet may drive the air flow around the infrared heater 220 to take away the heat generated by the infrared heater 220 and transmit it to the roller brush 110, so as to dry the roller brush 110.

[0120] The fan 250 can drive the flow of air around the infrared heater 220 and the roller brush 110, which can improve the circulation of heat, effectively improve the contact effect between the heat and the roller brush 110, reduce heat loss, and thus effectively improve the drying effect of the base and the roller brush 110.

[0121] The embodiment of the present application can perform infrared self-cleaning on the roller brush 110 by setting an infrared heater 220 in the base station 200 and using the transmission plate 230 and the fan 250 in combination. The structure is simple and easy to assemble, which can effectively reduce the production cost of the cleaning system. Among them, the infrared rays can heat the water in the cleaning tank 211 through the transmission plate 230 to clean the roller brush 110 with hot water, which can effectively improve the cleaning effect of the roller brush 110. In addition, the infrared rays can quickly penetrate the material surface of the roller brush 110 and directly transfer the energy to the inside and surface of the roller brush 110, reducing the loss of heat, which can effectively speed up the drying speed of the roller brush 110, reduce the drying time, improve the drying efficiency of the roller brush 110, and reduce energy consumption, thereby effectively improving the self-cleaning efficiency of the roller brush 110. The fan 250 can transfer the heat generated by the infrared heater 220 to the roller brush 110 , which can effectively increase the heat transferred to the roller brush 110 and the clean water, reduce heat loss, and thus effectively improve the self-cleaning effect of the infrared heating device on the roller brush 110 .

[0122] The infrared heater 220 may be connected to the base 210, and the infrared heater 220 may be located at the bottom of the roller brush 110. For example, the infrared heater 220 may be located at the bottom of the cleaning tank 211, so that when the roller brush 110 is parked in the cleaning tank 211, it may be located above the infrared heater 220.

[0123] In this way, most of the infrared heat emitted by the infrared heater 220 can be radiated to the cleaning tank. When the roller brush 110 is located in the cleaning tank 211 for self-cleaning, the infrared heat emitted by the infrared heater 220 can efficiently heat the clean water in the cleaning tank 211 and efficiently dry the roller brush 110, which can effectively improve the cleaning and drying effects of the roller brush 110, thereby effectively improving the self-cleaning effect of the roller brush 110.

[0124] Continue to see Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the base station 200 may further include a reflector 240, which may be connected to the transmission plate 230. The reflector 240 may be located on the side of the infrared heater 220 facing away from the roller brush 110. At least part of the infrared rays may be reflected to the transmission plate 230 by the reflector 240, and radiated to the roller brush 110 by the transmission plate 230. For example, the side of the reflector 240 facing the infrared heater 220 may be a mirror surface, so that the infrared rays projected on the mirror surface of the reflector 240 may be reflected.

[0125] For example, the infrared rays generated by the side of the infrared heater 220 facing the roller brush 110 can be projected onto the transmission plate 230 and onto the roller brush 110 through the transmission plate 230. The infrared rays generated by the side of the infrared heater 220 facing away from the roller brush 110 can be projected onto the reflector 240 and reflected onto the transmission plate 230 through the reflector 240, and then projected onto the roller brush 110 through the transmission plate 230, so as to dry the roller brush 110.

[0126] By reflecting infrared rays by the reflector 240, the infrared rays generated by the side of the infrared heater 220 facing away from the roller brush 110 can also be projected onto the roller brush 110 to dry the roller brush 110. This can effectively increase the amount of infrared rays projected onto the roller brush 110, and effectively reduce or avoid the waste of infrared rays. This effectively improves the utilization rate of infrared rays, and improves the cleaning and drying efficiency of the base station 200 for the roller brush 110.

[0127] The reflector 240 and the transmission plate 230 may be sealed and connected, a sealed cavity 241 may be formed between the reflector 240 and the transmission plate 230, and the infrared heater 220 may be located in the sealed cavity 241. The sealed cavity 241 formed by the reflector 240 and the transmission plate 230 may provide sealing protection for the infrared heater 220, and may effectively reduce or prevent external water stains, stains, etc. from entering the infrared heater 220. Water stains, stains, etc. are prevented from entering the infrared heater 220 and damaging the infrared heater 220, thereby affecting the drying work of the base station 200 on the roller brush 110. The service life of the infrared heater 220 can be effectively improved, and the reliability and stability of the drying system of the base station 200 can be improved.

[0128] Continue to see Figure 5 As shown, the reflector 240 has a curved structure at least on one side facing the infrared heater 220, and the reflector 240 can be concave in the direction away from the infrared heater 220. That is, the side of the reflector 240 facing the infrared heater 220 is a concave surface. In the process of reflecting infrared rays, the reflector 240 with a curved structure can gather the reflected infrared rays so that the reflected infrared rays can be gathered and projected onto the roller brush 110. It can effectively reduce or avoid the heat dissipation of infrared rays to the outside, effectively avoid the loss of infrared rays, and improve the utilization rate of infrared rays, thereby effectively improving the heating and drying efficiency of the infrared heater 220.

[0129] Figure 6 for Figure 5 Magnified view of area A in the middle.

[0130] Continue to see Figure 6 As shown, the roller brush 110 and the infrared heater 220 can be arranged in parallel, and on a plane perpendicular to the axis of the roller brush 110, an ellipse is defined with the center of the infrared heater 220 and the center of the roller brush 110 as foci, and the curved surface structure of the reflector 240 facing the infrared heater 220 can fall on the partial ellipse on the side of the infrared heater 220 facing away from the roller brush 110.

[0131] For example, a plane perpendicular to the axis of the roller brush 110 is randomly selected along the axis direction of the roller brush 110, and the plane passes through the roller brush 110. The two foci of the ellipse can be understood as the points where the plane intersects with the central axis of the roller brush 110 and the points where the plane intersects with the central axis of the infrared heater 220. For example, see Figure 6 As shown, the center of the roller brush 110 may be the first focus F1 of the ellipse, and the center of the infrared heater 220 may be the second focus F2 of the ellipse.

[0132] It should be noted that when the cross-sections of the roller brush 110 and the infrared heater 220 are circular, the center of the infrared heater 220 and the center of the roller brush 110 refer to the center of the circle of the roller brush 110 and the infrared heater 220. When the cross-sections of the roller brush 110 and the infrared heater 220 are not standard circles, the centers of the roller brush 110 and the infrared heater 220 can be understood as their centroids.

[0133] It should also be noted that, due to the mutual assembly relationship between the various components in the base station 200, the structural shape of the reflector 240 will be affected by the production process and the assembly process, thereby causing deviations in shape. Therefore, the shape of the side of the reflector 240 facing the infrared heater 220 can be understood as being close to an ellipse, but not necessarily an absolute ellipse, and the curved surface structure of the side of the reflector 240 facing the infrared heater 220 can roughly fall on the part of the ellipse on the side of the infrared heater 220 facing away from the roller brush 110, and does not necessarily completely overlap, and a reasonable range of deviations or errors is allowed.

[0134] By making the curved surface structure of the side of the reflector 240 facing the infrared heater 220 overlap with the part of the ellipse on the side of the infrared heater 220 facing away from the roller brush 110. According to the characteristics of the ellipse shape, the light emitted from one focus of the ellipse can be reflected to the other focus after radiating to the ellipse curve and reflecting from the ellipse curve. For example, the light emitted from the center of the infrared heater 220 can be reflected to the center of the roller brush 110 after radiating to the ellipse curve and reflecting from the ellipse curve.

[0135] In other words, after the infrared rays emitted by the infrared heater 220 are radiated to the reflector 240 coinciding with the ellipse, they can be reflected by the reflector 240, and the direction of the reflected infrared rays can be toward the center of the roller brush 110. This can effectively improve the accuracy of reflecting infrared rays to the roller brush 110, effectively reduce the loss of infrared rays, and thus effectively improve the utilization rate of infrared rays, and improve the self-cleaning efficiency and effectiveness of the cleaning system.

[0136] Continue to see Figure 6 As shown, the major axis of the ellipse may be d1, wherein the major axis of the ellipse refers to a line segment passing through two foci and terminating on the ellipse, that is, the longest line segment that can be obtained by connecting two points on the ellipse, which passes through the two foci (that is, passes through the center of the roller brush 110 and the center of the infrared heater 220) and terminates on the ellipse.

[0137] The length of the major axis d1 may be 12 mm to 35 mm. For example, the length of d1 may be 12 mm, 18 mm, 20 mm, 25 mm, 30 mm, 35 mm, etc. The major axis of the ellipse may reflect the distance between the reflector 240 and the infrared heater 220. That is, the longer the length of the major axis of the ellipse, the greater the distance between the reflector 240 and the infrared heater 220. The smaller the length of the major axis of the ellipse, the smaller the distance between the reflector 240 and the infrared heater 220.

[0138] By making the major axis of the ellipse satisfy the above-mentioned value range, under the premise that the reflector 240 reflects infrared rays, the rationality of the layout between the reflector 240 and the infrared heater 220 can be improved, and the structural compactness between the reflector 240 and the infrared heater 220 can be improved, which is beneficial to reducing the space occupied by the drying components in the base 210 and improving the spatial layout inside the base 210.

[0139] Continue to see Figure 6 As shown, the minor axis of the ellipse may be d2, and the minor axis refers to the line connecting the two vertices that are closer to each other in the ellipse, and the minor axis passes through the center of the ellipse and is perpendicular to the major axis. The length of the minor axis d2 may be 10 mm to 32 mm. For example, the length of d2 may be 10 mm, 15 mm, 20 mm, 25 mm, 30 mm, 32 mm, etc. The minor axis of the ellipse may reflect the curve radius of the reflector 240, and may reflect the width of the reflector 240. That is, when the major axis of the ellipse is constant, the smaller the minor axis, the smaller the width of the reflector 240. The longer the minor axis, the larger the width of the reflector 240.

[0140] By making the minor axis of the ellipse meet the above value range, the width of the reflector 240 can be within a reasonable range, so that the reflector 240 can provide a better infrared reflection effect, reduce or avoid infrared loss, and help improve the utilization rate of infrared. Moreover, under the premise of satisfying the infrared reflection of the reflector 240, the width of the reflector 240 can be reduced, which can effectively reduce the space occupied by the reflector 240 in the base 210, improve the structural compactness of the reflector 240, and thus effectively improve the internal space layout of the base 210.

[0141] Continue to see Figure 6 As shown, the infrared heater 220 may be a cylindrical structure, the cross-sectional radius of the infrared heater 220 may be R, and the distance between the intersection of the major axis of the ellipse and the side of the infrared heater 220 facing away from the roller brush 110 and the intersection of the major axis of the ellipse and the reflector 240 may be A, wherein R and A may satisfy the following relationship: 1 / 2R<A<3 / 2R. The value of A may reflect the distance between the reflector 240 and the infrared heater 220, that is, the longer the length of A is, the farther the distance between the reflector 240 and the infrared heater 220 is. The shorter the length of A is, the closer the distance between the reflector 240 and the infrared heater 220 is. By making A and the radius of the ellipse satisfy the above relationship value, the distance between the reflector 240 and the infrared heater 220 can be made more reasonable. The reflector 240 can effectively reflect the infrared rays emitted by the infrared heater 220 to project them onto the roller brush 110. It can effectively reduce or avoid the waste and loss of infrared rays, effectively improve the utilization rate of infrared rays, and thus effectively improve the self-cleaning efficiency of the cleaning system 10.

[0142] Preferably, the value of R may be equal to the value of A. This value may effectively improve the reflection effect of the reflector 240 and the infrared ray, effectively reduce or avoid the waste and loss of the infrared ray, effectively improve the utilization rate of the infrared ray, and thus effectively improve the self-cleaning efficiency of the cleaning system 10.

[0143] In another possible implementation, the curved surface structure of the reflector 240 facing the infrared heater 220 may also be in a parabolic shape. The parabolic reflector 240 also has a good focusing effect on the reflection of light, and can concentrate the infrared light projected on the reflector 240 and reflect it onto the roller brush 110. This can effectively improve the reflection effect of the reflector 240, reduce the loss of infrared light, and thus effectively improve the self-cleaning efficiency of the roller brush 110.

[0144] Figure 7 An axonometric cross-sectional view of a base station provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0145] See also Figure 7 As shown, the base station 200 may further include a sealing buffer 260 , at least a portion of which may be located between the transmission plate 230 and the reflector 240 , and the transmission plate 230 and the reflector 240 may be sealed and connected via the sealing buffer 260 .

[0146] The sealing buffer pad 260 can provide a sealing effect between the transmission plate 230 and the reflective element 240, which can effectively improve the sealing of the sealing cavity 241, reduce or avoid external water stains and stains from entering the sealing cavity 241, and prevent water stains and stains from entering the sealing cavity 241 to damage the infrared heater 220, which is beneficial to improving the protection of the infrared heater 220.

[0147] Moreover, the sealing buffer pad 260 can also play a buffering role between the transmission plate 230 and the reflective member 240. During the handling and transportation of the cleaning system, vibration is inevitable. The sealing buffer pad 260 can effectively reduce or avoid rigid impact between the transmission plate 230 and the reflective member 240, prevent the rigid impact from damaging the transmission plate 230, and help to improve the protection of the transmission plate 230.

[0148] For example, the sealing buffer pad 260 can be in a compressed state, and the sealing buffer pad 260 in the compressed state has a resilience, which can increase the tightness of the contact between the sealing buffer pad 260 and the transmission plate 230 and the reflector 240. It can effectively improve the sealing between the transmission plate 230 and the reflector 240, and can also effectively improve the buffering effect of the transmission plate 230 and the reflector 240.

[0149] Continue to see Figure 7As shown, at least a portion of the sealing buffer 260 may also be located between the transmission plate 230 and the base 210, and the transmission plate 230 and the base 210 are sealed and connected via the sealing buffer 260. The sealing buffer 260 may provide a seal between the transmission plate 230 and the base 210, thereby preventing water stains and dirt on the cleaning tank 211 from entering the base 210 through the gap between the transmission plate 230 and the base 210, thereby preventing the components inside the base 210 from being damaged, and thus helping to improve the sealing protection of the base station.

[0150] Moreover, the sealing buffer pad 260 can also play a buffering role between the transmission plate 230 and the base 210, thereby avoiding rigid impact between the transmission plate 230 and the reflector 240 during handling and transportation, preventing the transmission plate 230 from being damaged due to rigid impact, and helping to improve the protection of the transmission plate 230.

[0151] Figure 8 A schematic diagram of the structure of a fan provided in a base in an embodiment of the present application.

[0152] See also Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the base 210 may also include a ventilation duct 270, one end of which may be connected to the air outlet of the fan 250, and the other end may be connected to the side of the reflector 240 facing away from the infrared heater 220. The wind blown out by the fan 250 may be blown to the side of the reflector 240 facing away from the infrared heater 220 through the ventilation duct 270.

[0153] This part of the air volume can take away the heat on the side of the reflector 240 facing away from the infrared heater 220, and transport it to the roller brush 110, so as to dry it together with the roller brush 110. In addition, by taking away the heat on the side of the reflector 240 facing away from the infrared heater 220, the reflector 240 can also be cooled to reduce the temperature of the reflector 240. This can reduce or avoid the occurrence of cracks, damage, etc. caused by excessive temperature of the reflector 240, help improve the protection of the reflector 240, and extend the service life of the reflector 240.

[0154] Moreover, the reflector 240 can be prevented from being damaged and affecting its reflection effect on infrared rays, and infrared rays can be prevented from being radiated outward through the cracks on the reflector 240, which helps to improve the stability and reliability of the reflector 240. In addition, the reflector 240 can be prevented from being broken and affecting the sealing protection of the infrared heater 220. External water stains, dirt, etc. can be prevented from entering the infrared heater 220 through the cracks of the reflector 240, thereby affecting the normal operation of the infrared heater 220, which helps to improve the reliability and stability of the infrared heater 220.

[0155] Continue to see Figure 7 As shown, ventilation holes 212 may be provided on the base 210 , and the ventilation holes 212 may be located on a portion of the periphery of the roller brush 110 . The ventilation duct 270 may also be connected to the ventilation holes 212 , and the wind blown out by the fan 250 may also be blown toward the roller brush 110 through the ventilation holes 212 .

[0156] For example, the wind blown by the fan 250 can enter the ventilation duct 270 through the air outlet, and reach the side of the reflector 240 facing away from the infrared heater 220 through the ventilation duct 270, and finally reach the roller brush 110 through the ventilation hole 212. In the process of passing through the reflector 240, the wind volume can take away the heat around the reflector 240, and transfer the heat to the roller brush 110 through the ventilation hole 212. The heat can dry the roller brush 110, and the wind volume can realize the circulation of air, which can effectively improve the contact effect between the roller brush 110 and the heat, thereby effectively improving the drying effect of the roller brush 110.

[0157] In the embodiment of the present application, the infrared heater 220 can extend from one end of the roller brush 110 along the axis of the roller brush 110 to the other end of the roller brush 110, that is, the infrared heater 220 covers from one end of the roller brush 110 to the other end of the roller brush 110. In this way, the infrared rays radiated by the infrared heater 220 can cover the entire length of the roller brush 110, which can effectively increase the coverage of the roller brush 110 by the infrared rays. The infrared rays can dry the entire roller brush 110 and heat the clean water over the entire length of the roller brush 110, which can effectively speed up the drying of the roller brush 110 and the heating speed of the clean water, reduce the drying and heating time, and thus effectively improve the self-cleaning efficiency of the roller brush 110.

[0158] Moreover, by extending the infrared heater 220 from one end of the roller brush 110 to the other end of the roller brush 110, the uniformity of the contact between the infrared rays and the clean water and the roller brush 110 can be effectively improved, and the situation where the clean water is partially heated while others are not heated, and the roller brush 110 is partially dried while others are not dried can be reduced or avoided. The uniformity of drying the roller brush 110 can be effectively improved, thereby effectively improving the self-cleaning effect of the roller brush 110.

[0159] The transmission plate 230 may be a transmission glass, and the infrared rays emitted by the infrared heater 220 may pass through the transmission glass to be projected onto the roller brush 110, thereby drying the roller brush 110. The transmission glass has good light transmittance and low light shielding, so that all the infrared rays emitted by the infrared heater 220 are transmitted to the clean water and the roller brush 110. The transmittance of the infrared rays on the transmission plate 230 can be effectively improved, and the loss of the infrared rays can be reduced, thereby effectively improving the self-cleaning efficiency of the infrared rays on the roller brush 110.

[0160] Fig. 9A schematic diagram of the structure of an infrared heater provided in an embodiment of the present application, which is arranged in a base.

[0161] Continue to see Fig. 9 As shown, the base station 200 may further include a fixing bracket 280, one end of which may be connected to the infrared heater 220, and the other end of which may be connected to the base 210, and the infrared heater 220 may be connected to the base 210 through the fixing bracket 280. The fixing bracket 280 may limit and fix the infrared heater 220, which may effectively improve the reliability and firmness of the connection between the infrared heater 220 and the base 210, and improve the reliability and stability of the infrared heater 220 in the base 210.

[0162] Moreover, it can also effectively reduce or avoid shaking of the infrared heater 220 , thereby damaging the infrared heater 220 , which helps to improve the protection of the infrared heater 220 and extend the service life of the infrared heater 220 .

[0163] Fig.10 A control schematic diagram of a cleaning system provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0164] In the examples of this application, see Fig.10 As shown, the base station 200 may further include a controller 201, and the controller 201 may be electrically connected to the fan 250 and / or the infrared heater 220, and the controller 201 may be used to control the start or stop of the fan 250 and / or the infrared heater 220. For example, the controller 201 may be electrically connected only to the fan 250 to control the start or stop of the fan 250. Alternatively, the controller 201 may also be electrically connected only to the infrared heater 220 to control the start or stop of the infrared heater 220. Alternatively, the controller 201 may also be electrically connected to both the fan 250 and the infrared heater 220 to control the start or stop of the fan 250 and the infrared heater 220.

[0165] For example, when the controller 201 receives a drying instruction for the roller brush 110, the infrared heater 220 and the fan 250 can be started to work, so that the infrared heater 220 can radiate infrared heat to the roller brush 110, and the fan 250 can transfer heat to the roller brush 110, thereby drying the roller brush 110. When the drying of the roller brush 110 is finished, the controller 201 can stop the infrared heater 220 and the fan 250 according to the end instruction to complete the drying of the roller brush 110.

[0166] The fan 250 and the infrared heater 220 can be started or stopped by the controller 201, without the need for the user to manually operate the start or stop of the fan 250 and the infrared heater 220, which can effectively improve the degree of automation of the self-cleaning of the roller brush 110, thereby effectively improving the user experience.

[0167] Continue to see Fig.10 As shown, an operation button 120 may be provided on the body of the cleaning device. When the floor brush 100 is located on the base station 200, the operation button 120 may be connected to the controller 201 signal. The operation button 120 may be used to send a control signal to the controller 201 so that the controller 201 may control the start or stop of the fan 250 and / or the infrared heater 220 according to the control signal.

[0168] For example, when the roller brush 110 needs to be self-cleaned, the operation button 120 on the body can be pressed to send a self-cleaning instruction to the controller 201. When the controller 201 receives the self-cleaning instruction of the roller brush 110, the infrared heater 220 and the fan 250 can be started to enable the infrared heater 220 to radiate infrared heat to the clean water roller brush 110, and the fan 250 can transfer heat to the clean water and the roller brush 110, thereby achieving drying of the roller brush 110.

[0169] When the self-cleaning is finished, the operation button 120 can be pressed again to send an end instruction to the controller 201 . After receiving the end instruction, the controller 201 can stop the operation of the infrared heater 220 and the fan 250 to complete the self-cleaning of the roller brush 110 .

[0170] The operation button 120 can facilitate the user to operate the self-cleaning of the roller brush 110, and can improve the reliability and stability of the self-cleaning of the roller brush 110. Moreover, by setting the operation button 120 on the body, the body is relatively high, and the user does not need to bend or squat when operating the operation button 120, which can facilitate the user's operation, help improve the rationality of the setting of the operation button 120, and enhance the user experience.

[0171] In the embodiments of this application, see Fig.10 As shown, the floor brush 100 may include a signal output interface 130, and the signal output interface 130 may be electrically connected to the operation button 120. The base station 200 may include a signal input interface 202, and the signal input interface 202 may be electrically connected to the controller 201. When the floor brush 100 is located at the base station 200, the signal output interface 130 may be electrically connected to the signal input interface 202, and the operation button 120 may be signal-connected to the controller 201 through the electrical connection between the signal input interface 202 and the signal output interface 130.

[0172] When the user presses the operation button 120, a control signal may be issued, and the control signal may be transmitted to the signal output interface 130, and then transmitted to the signal input interface 202 through the signal output interface 130, and finally transmitted to the controller 201 through the signal input interface 202. The controller 201 may control the start or stop of the fan 250 and the infrared heater 220 according to the control signal.

[0173] Through the electrical connection between the signal input interface 202 and the signal output interface 130, the signal connection can be realized between the operation button 120 and the controller 201, so that the user can send a control instruction to the controller 201 through the operation button 120. It is convenient for the user to operate, which helps to improve the operability of the cleaning system 10 and improve the user experience. Moreover, the signal transmission between the signal input interface 202 and the signal output interface 130 is stable and not easy to be disconnected, which can effectively improve the reliability and stability of the signal transmission between the operation button 120 and the controller 201, and improve the reliability and stability of the overall operation of the cleaning system 10.

[0174] The cleaning system 10 may further include a detection device, which may be disposed near the roller brush 110 and may be connected to the controller 201 by signal. The detection device may be used to detect the temperature and humidity signals of the roller brush 110 and transmit the temperature and humidity signals to the controller 201, which is used to control the start and stop of the infrared heater 220 and / or the fan 250 according to the temperature and humidity signals.

[0175] For example, when the detection device detects that the humidity around the roller brush 110 is high, it means that the roller brush 110 has not been dried. At this time, the infrared heater 220 can be kept working, and the working intensity of the infrared heater 220 can be increased to increase the infrared radiation intensity, thereby increasing the drying heat for the roller brush 110. On the contrary, when the detection device detects that the humidity around the roller brush 110 is low, it means that the roller brush 110 has been dried. At this time, the infrared heater 220 can be stopped to end the drying of the roller brush 110.

[0176] Alternatively, when the detection device detects that the temperature around the roller brush 110 is high, it means that the temperature around the roller brush 110 is high. In order to reduce or avoid damage to the roller brush 110 due to excessive temperature, the working intensity of the infrared heater 220 can be reduced to reduce the infrared radiation intensity, thereby reducing the drying heat of the roller brush 110. On the contrary, when the detection device detects that the temperature around the roller brush 110 is low, it means that the temperature around the roller brush 110 is low, and the drying effect of the roller brush 110 and the heating effect of the clean water are poor. At this time, the working intensity of the infrared heater 220 can be increased to increase the infrared radiation intensity, thereby increasing the drying heat of the roller brush 110 and the heating amount of the clean water, and improving the self-cleaning effect of the roller brush 110.

[0177] The control and adjustment of the fan 250 may refer to the adjustment principle of the infrared heater 220, which will not be repeated here.

[0178] By arranging a detection device around the roller brush 110, the controller 201 can flexibly adjust the infrared heater 220 and the fan 250 according to the temperature and humidity detected by the detection device, so that the infrared heater 220 and the fan 250 are always within a reasonable working intensity range. This can effectively reduce or avoid energy waste, help reduce the self-cleaning energy consumption of the cleaning system 10, and improve the self-cleaning efficiency.
