[0034] In order to make the technical personnel in the technical field to which the present application belongs to understand the present application more clearly, the technical scheme 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 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 the field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0035] The base station is a device used to clean and charge the working parts of cleaning equipment such as floor scrubbers, mops, and sweeping robots. After the cleaning equipment is placed on the base station, hot water will be sprayed on the base station to clean the working parts of the cleaning equipment.

[0036] In the related art, cleaning equipment such as mops usually use roller brushes as the cleaning part of the equipment. After the equipment has worked for a period of time, the working part of the cleaning equipment becomes dirty and needs to be cleaned and charged. After the cleaning equipment is put back on the base station, the base station provides hot water to clean the working part of the cleaning equipment.

[0037] However, during actual use, the applicant found that after the water outlet of the cleaning device was injected into the base station, a negative pressure state would be formed when the cleaning device was picked up, and water would overflow from the water inlet of the base station. If used multiple times, a lot of water would remain at the water inlet of the base station, and the user would need to wipe off the water that overflowed on the base station. In addition, when the user tilted the base station to pick it up, water would quickly overflow from the water inlet of the base station, affecting the user experience.

[0038] Based on the above technical problems, the present application provides a base station and a cleaning system, which aims to at least to some extent solve the problem that water overflows from the water inlet on the base station when the cleaning equipment is taken away from the base station, so as to improve the user experience.

[0039] Figure 1 A schematic diagram showing the structure of a base station in one or more embodiments of the present application is shown. Figure 2 Shows Figure 1 The internal schematic diagram of the base station in Figure 1 as well as Figure 2The base station includes a main body 1, a heating element 2 and a non-return member 3, wherein a water replenishing portion 104 and a cleaning portion 105 are arranged on the surface of the main body 1, the heating element 2 is arranged in the main body 1, the input end of the heating element 2 is connected to the water replenishing portion 104, the output end of the heating element 2 is connected to the cleaning portion 105, and the non-return member 3 is arranged between the input end of the heating element 2 and the water replenishing portion 104 to prevent water from flowing back to the water replenishing portion 104.

[0040] The base station provided by the present application, when the cleaning device is placed on the base station, the water outlet of the cleaning device is connected to the water replenishing part 104 on the main body 1, and the water in the cleaning device can enter the heating element 2 through the water replenishing part 104 on the main body 1, and generate hot water after being heated by the heating element 2, and flow to the cleaning part 105 to clean the working part of the cleaning device. Since the non-return member 3 is arranged between the input end of the heating element 2 and the water replenishing part 104, the water flowing to the water heater can be prevented from flowing back to the water replenishing part 104, so as to avoid the phenomenon of water overflowing from the water replenishing part 104 on the main body 1 of the base station when the cleaning device is taken away from the base station, so as to avoid the user needing to wipe off the water overflowing on the base station, so as to improve the user experience.

[0041] Combination Figure 1 The top of the main body 1 is provided with a receiving groove 101 for accommodating the bottom of the cleaning device, and a receiving block 102 is provided at the bottom of the receiving groove 101. The receiving block 102 is provided with a receiving groove 103 for docking with the part of the bottom of the cleaning device where the water outlet is provided. The water replenishing part 104 of the main body 1 is provided at the bottom of the receiving groove 103. When the cleaning device is placed in the receiving groove 101 on the main body 1, the water outlet of the cleaning device docks with the water replenishing part 104 of the main body 1 to introduce the water on the cleaning device into the base station for use.

[0042] Combination Figure 1 as well as Figure 2 The base station may further include a water replenishment joint 4, the top end of which extends out of a receiving groove 103 disposed at the top of the main body 1 to serve as a water replenishment portion 104, and the bottom end of the water replenishment joint 4 passes through the bottom of the receiving groove 103 and enters into the main body 1.

[0043] In some embodiments, the top of the water supply connector 4 is elastic, for example, an elastic material can be injection molded onto the top of the water supply connector 4. The elastic portion at the top of the water supply connector 4 can be in flexible contact with the water outlet of the cleaning device, for example, wrapped around the periphery of the water outlet of the cleaning device, which can improve the sealing effect of the two and prevent water from leaking from the connection between the two.

[0044] Combination Figure 2The check member 3 can be a one-way valve, the input end of the one-way valve is connected to the water replenishing part 104, and the output end of the one-way valve is connected to the input end of the heating element 2. The function of the one-way valve is to prevent water from flowing back to the water replenishing part 104. When the base station replenishes water, the one-way valve is opened, and when the base station does not replenish water, the internal valve of the one-way valve is closed, so that the water inlet 901 of the cleaning device and the water replenishing port of the base station are in a sealed state. Although there is a negative pressure when the cleaning device leaves the base station, the setting of the one-way valve can prevent the water in the water replenishing part 104 from overflowing, and can also prevent the water from quickly overflowing from the water replenishing part 104 of the base station when the user tilts and picks up the base station, which has good practicality.

[0045] Combination Figure 2 The bottom end of the water supply joint 4 is connected to the input end of the one-way valve through the water inlet pipe 5, and the end of the water inlet pipe 5 close to the water supply joint 4 is tied to the connecting column inside the main body 1 through a flexible member 6 to prevent the water inlet pipe 5 from deforming and loosening during use, thereby improving the reliability of the connection between the water inlet pipe 5 and the water supply joint 4.

[0046] Combination Figure 2 , the output end of the one-way valve is connected to the water inlet end of the heating element 2 through the water outlet pipe 7; a plurality of limiting columns are arranged in the main body 1, and the water inlet pipe 5 and the water outlet pipe 7 can be flexible. The water inlet pipe 5 and the water outlet pipe 7 are arranged around one side of the plurality of limiting columns, and the other side of the plurality of limiting columns and the inner wall of the main body 1 are configured to form an assembly space for installing the heating element 2 and the cleaning part 105. The arrangement of a plurality of limiting columns allows the water inlet pipe 5 and the water outlet pipe 7 to be laid in the main body 1 according to a set trajectory, thereby improving the cleanliness of the interior of the main body 1. In specific implementation, since the ends of the water inlet pipe 5 and the water outlet pipe 7 are used for connection and are prone to deformation, limiting columns can be arranged on the same side of both ends of the water inlet pipe 5 and the water outlet pipe 7 to avoid deformation of the ends of the water inlet pipe 5 and the water outlet pipe 7, thereby affecting the firmness of the assembly.

[0047] Combination Figure 1 as well as Figure 2 The base station may also include a cleaning shell 9 and a flushing member 10. A portion of the cleaning shell 9 is disposed in the main body 1 to communicate with the output end of the heating member 2. Another portion of the cleaning shell 9 is disposed at the top of the main body 1. Another portion of the shell is provided with a cleaning port 903 to eject the heated water. The flushing member 10 is rotatably disposed in the cleaning shell 9 to serve as a cleaning portion 105 for cleaning the working portion of the cleaning device. In a specific implementation, the cleaning port 903 is generally strip-shaped, and the flushing member 10 may be disposed in the cleaning port 903 along the length direction of the cleaning port. The working portion of the cleaning device may enter the cleaning port 903 to contact the flushing member 10.

[0048] Combination Figure 2A water inlet 901 may be provided at the bottom of the cleaning shell 9 , and the water inlet 901 is connected to the output end of the heating element 2 through a connecting pipe 8 . The connecting pipe 8 may be made of a hard material and is provided at the edge of the main body 1 .

[0049] Combination Figure 1 The base station may further include a seal 11, which is disposed on another part of the cleaning housing 9, and surrounds the cleaning port 903. When the cleaning device is placed on the main body 1, the first seal 11 may wrap the working part of the cleaning device to roughly form a sealed space to avoid the phenomenon of overflow of cleaning water sprayed from the cleaning port, so as to facilitate user cleaning and improve user experience. The water stored in the sealed space, the fan on the cleaning device is started to form a negative pressure in the sewage tank in the cleaning device to absorb the water stored in the sealed space into the sewage tank, and also avoid the phenomenon that the cleaning device needs to be used to scratch the sealed space after being taken out from the base station, so as to improve user experience.

[0050] Combination Figure 1 Another part of the cleaning housing 9 is provided with a support slope 902, and the cleaning port is provided on the support slope 902. The provision of the support slope 902 can shorten the distance between the cleaning port 903 and the working part of the cleaning device, so that the speed of the hot water sprayed by the cleaning port 903 is faster, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency of the working part of the cleaning device.
