[0039] The embodiment of the first aspect of the present application provides a base station 300, which can be docked with a home mobile platform 100 or a cleaning robot 200. The base station 300 can be a dust collection base station or a charging base station. The cleaning robot 200 can be a sweeping robot, a sweeping and mopping robot, or a mopping robot.

[0040] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, the base station 300 includes a base station body 310 and a first docking structure 320 arranged on the base station body 310. When the base station 300 is docked with the home mobile platform 100, the first docking structure 320 is used to dock with the second docking structure 142 of the home mobile platform 100 on which the home object 400 can be arranged to position the home mobile platform 100; when the base station 300 is docked with the cleaning robot 200, the first docking structure 320 is docked with the third docking structure 212 of the cleaning robot 200 to position the cleaning robot 200. The home object 400 can be an air purifier, a humidifier, a book, a camera, a dehumidifier, an aromatherapy device, and can also be a user's commonly used medicine, a water cup, and other objects that may be passed around the home or a platform or cabinet for accommodating them. The way in which the home object 400 is arranged on the home mobile platform 100 can be various ways such as fixed arrangement, integral connection, or non-connected placement.

[0041] The base station 300 of the present application can be docked with the home mobile platform 100 or the cleaning robot 200. The home mobile platform 100 is a device that can drive the home object 400 to move. Specifically, Figure 2 As shown, the home mobile platform 100 includes a platform 110 and a movable support structure 120, and the platform 110 is used to place the home object 400. The second docking structure 142 can be located at the bottom of the platform 110 of the home mobile platform 100. Figure 4 As shown, the cleaning robot 200 includes a robot body 210 and a third docking structure 212 located on the robot body 210. The robot body 210 is used to clean the floor (eg, sweep or mop the floor). Figure 2As shown, the home mobile platform 100 can be connected to the cleaning robot 200. When the cleaning robot 200 is connected to the home mobile platform 100, the platform 110 of the home mobile platform 100 is located on the top of the cleaning robot 200. The cleaning robot 200 provides the driving force of the home mobile platform 100 so that the home mobile platform 100 can move at various positions indoors, thereby driving the home object 400 to move to meet the various needs of users (such as humidification, carrying books, air purification). The home object 400 can be transferred from one position to another, or from one room to another, thereby effectively expanding the working range of the home object 400. In addition, the movement of the home object 400 is achieved by means of the cooperation of the cleaning robot 200 and the home mobile platform 100, which has the advantages of time saving, labor saving and high efficiency compared to relying on manpower to carry the home object 400. The movable support structure 120 is connected to the bottom of the platform 110, and the movable support structure 120 is used to support the platform 110. The movable support structure 120 may specifically include rollers and belt sliding mechanisms, thereby making the home mobile platform 100 itself mobile, facilitating the cleaning robot 200 to drive the home mobile platform 100 to move, reducing the load-bearing capacity of the cleaning robot 200, and reducing the driving force of the cleaning robot 200 on the home mobile platform 100. The movable support structure 120 may include, for example, legs and universal wheels at the bottom of the legs.

[0042] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, when the base station 300 is docked with the home mobile platform 100, the first docking structure 320 of the base station 300 is docked with the second docking structure 142 of the home mobile platform 100 to position the home mobile platform 100. When the base station 300 is docked with the cleaning robot 200, the first docking structure 320 is docked with the third docking structure 212 of the cleaning robot 200 to position the cleaning robot 200. In other words, the first docking structure 320 can be docked with the cleaning robot 200 and the home mobile platform 100 at the same time, which is conducive to expanding the application scenarios of the base station 300 and improving its adaptability. Since the home mobile platform 100 itself is mobile, when the home mobile platform 100 automatically docks with the cleaning robot 200 so that the home mobile platform 100 and the cleaning robot 200 are positioned and matched, it is necessary to set a fourth docking structure (not shown) on the home mobile platform 100 to cooperate with the third docking structure 212 of the cleaning robot 200. When the third docking structure 212 is set on the cleaning robot 200, in order to enable the cleaning robot 200 to dock and position and match with the base station 300 alone, it is necessary to set a first docking structure 320 on the base station 300 to position and match with the third docking structure 212 of the cleaning robot 200.

[0043] In some embodiments, Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the base station 300 also includes a first charging electrode 321 disposed on the base station body 310. The first charging electrode 321 is used to contact the second charging electrode 143 of the home mobile platform 100 to provide electric energy to the home mobile platform 100. The electric energy can be used to power the rechargeable home objects 400 (for example: air purifiers, humidifiers, dehumidifiers) on the home mobile platform 100 or the electronic devices of the home mobile platform 100 itself (for example: obstacle recognition devices or cliff detection sensors); the first charging electrode 321 is also used to contact the third charging electrode 213 of the cleaning robot 200 to provide electric energy to the cleaning robot 200. The electric energy is used to facilitate the cleaning robot 200 to move or clean the ground. In this embodiment, the first charging electrode 321 on the base station 300 can contact the second charging electrode 143 of the home mobile platform 100, and can also contact the third charging electrode 213 of the cleaning robot 200. That is to say, the base station 300 can charge both the home mobile platform 100 and the cleaning robot 200 .

[0044] Furthermore, if Figure 1 , Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the first charging electrode 321 is provided at the first docking structure 320, the second charging electrode 143 is provided at the second docking structure 142, and the third charging electrode 213 is provided at the third docking structure 212. In this way, when the first docking structure 320 of the base station 300 docks with the second docking structure 142 of the home mobile platform 100 to achieve connection between the two, the first charging electrode 321 and the second charging electrode 143 are also in contact, and the base station 300 can charge the home mobile platform 100. When the first docking structure 320 docks with the third charging electrode 213 of the cleaning robot 200 to achieve connection between the two, the first charging electrode 321 and the third charging electrode 213 are also connected, and the base station 300 can charge the cleaning robot 200. In this way, the charging function of the base station 300 and the docking function for the cleaning robot 200 or the household mobile platform 100 can be integrated together, without the need to separately set up a charging interface for charging the cleaning robot 200 or the household mobile platform 100, and without the need to perform additional power connection operations, thereby facilitating the improvement of the integration of the base station 300. In other embodiments, when there is enough space on the base station 300, the first charging electrode 321 and the first docking structure 320 can also be respectively arranged at different positions of the base station 300, so that the charging function and the docking function of the base station 300 are separated; the second charging electrode 143 and the second docking structure 142 can also be separately arranged; the third charging electrode 213 and the third docking structure 212 can also be separately arranged.

[0045] Furthermore, if Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the first docking structure 320 is connected with a first elastic connection component 320a, and the first elastic connection component 320a is connected to the first charging electrode 321, so that the first charging electrode 321 and the second charging electrode 143 can be elastically abutted in the up and down directions, or the first charging electrode 321 and the third charging electrode 213 can be elastically abutted in the up and down directions. In this embodiment, the elastic effect of the first elastic connection component 320a is used to make the first charging electrode 321 maintain the movement trend in the up and down directions. In this way, when the first docking structure 320 is docked with the second docking structure 142 of the home mobile platform 100, the first charging electrode 321 and the second charging electrode 143 are in closer contact, thereby avoiding the problem of virtual connection. When the first docking structure 320 is docked with the third docking structure 212 of the cleaning robot 200, the first charging electrode 321 and the third charging electrode 213 are in closer contact, thereby avoiding the problem of virtual connection.

[0046] Further, such as Figure 6 As shown, the first elastic connection component 320a includes a first movable member 322 and a first elastic member 325 connected to the first movable member 322, and the first charging electrode 321 is arranged on the first movable member 322. Thus, the elastic force of the first movable member 322 is provided by the first elastic member 325, so that the first charging electrode 321 located on the first movable member 322 can move, so that the first charging electrode 321 can be more closely contacted with the second charging electrode 143 or the third charging electrode 213.

[0047] Further, the first docking structure 320 includes a first docking base 324 and a first guide post 323 disposed on the first docking base 324 along the up-down direction; a first through slot 326 is disposed on the first docking base 324, a first movable member 322 is disposed through the first through slot 326, and a first elastic member 325 is sleeved on the first guide post 323 or connected to the first guide post 323. Thus, the first elastic member 325 is sleeved on the first guide post 323 or connected to the first guide post 323 so that the first elastic member 325 moves along the extension direction of the first guide post 323, so that the first charging electrode 321 moves along the extension direction of the first guide post 323 (i.e., the up-down direction), so that the first charging electrode 321 can be more closely contacted with the second charging electrode 143 or the third charging electrode 213 in the up-down direction, thereby avoiding the problem of virtual connection.

[0048] In some embodiments, the first docking structure 320 is a docking joint, the second docking structure 142 is a docking slot, and the third docking structure 212 is a docking slot. Alternatively, in other embodiments, the first docking structure 320 is a docking slot, the second docking structure 142 is a docking joint, and the third docking structure 212 is a docking joint. By plugging the docking joint into the docking slot, the home mobile platform 100 or the cleaning robot 200 can be positioned in the area corresponding to the base station 300 and remain relatively still.

[0049] In some embodiments, the first docking structure 320 is a docking head protruding from the side wall of the base station body 310 in the horizontal direction, and the first charging electrode piece 321 is located at the bottom of the docking head. The first docking structure 320 is a docking head protruding from the side wall of the base station body 310 in the horizontal direction, which can facilitate the home mobile platform 100 or the cleaning robot 200 to directly dock with the docking head protruding from the side wall of the base station body 310 in the horizontal direction through its own docking slot after moving in the horizontal direction. The first charging electrode piece 321 is arranged at the bottom of the docking head to protect the first charging electrode piece 321 from being contaminated by external water and dust.

[0050] In some embodiments, Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, the base station 300 also includes a first identification module 330 arranged on the base station body 310. The first identification module 330 can be identified by the second identification module 144 of the home mobile platform 100, so that the first docking structure 320 and the second docking structure 142 are docked in the horizontal direction to position the home mobile platform 100.

[0051] In this embodiment, the first identification module 330 on the base station body 310 can be identified by the second identification module 144 of the home mobile platform 100, so that the first docking structure 320 on the base station 300 can be docked with the second docking structure 142 on the home mobile platform 100 to locate the home mobile platform 100 and the cleaning robot 200. In other words, the first identification module 330 of the home mobile platform 100 can identify the second identification module 144 of the base station 300, so that the specific location of the base station 300 can be identified, and the home mobile platform 100 can move towards the direction of the base station 300. In this way, it is conducive to improving the convenience and reliability of the connection between the base station 300 and the home mobile platform 100. Among them, the first identification module 330 can be an infrared transmission module, a structural feature code, a spray feature code, etc.; the second identification module 144 can be an infrared receiving module, a laser radar, a camera, etc.

[0052] In some embodiments, Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, the first recognition module 330 can be recognized by the third recognition module 220 of the cleaning robot 200, so that the third docking structure 212 and the first docking structure 320 are docked in the horizontal direction to position the cleaning robot 200. In this embodiment, the first recognition module 330 on the base station body 310 can also be recognized by the third recognition module 220 of the cleaning robot 200. In other words, the first recognition module 330 of the base station 300 can be recognized by the third recognition module 220 of the cleaning robot 200, so that the specific position of the base station 300 can be identified, and the cleaning robot 200 can move in the direction of the base station 300. In this way, it is conducive to improving the convenience and reliability of the connection between the base station 300 and the cleaning robot 200. Among them, the first recognition module 330 can be an infrared transmitting module, a structural feature code, a spray feature code, etc.; the third recognition module 220 can be an infrared receiving module, a laser radar, a camera, etc.

[0053] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, when the cleaning robot 200 is connected to the home mobile platform 100 and drives the home mobile platform 100 to move to the corresponding position of the base station 300 and docks with the base station 300, the platform 110 of the home mobile platform 100 is located on the top of the cleaning robot 200, and the platform 110 blocks part of the structure of the third recognition module 220 of the cleaning robot 200. At this time, the third recognition module 220 of the cleaning robot 200 first identifies the approximate position of the base station 300, and then identifies the specific position of the base station 200 through the second recognition module 144 of the home mobile platform 100, so that the first docking structure 320 and the second docking structure 142 are docked in the horizontal direction to position the home mobile platform 100. Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, when the cleaning robot 200 moves alone to the corresponding position of the base station 300 and docks with the base station 300, the third identification module 220 is not blocked, so the specific position of the base station 300 can be identified, so that a docking structure 320 and the third docking structure 212 can be docked in the horizontal direction to position the cleaning robot 200.

[0054] In some embodiments, Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the base station 300 also includes a dust inlet 311 arranged on the base station body 310; the dust inlet 311 is used to connect with the dust outlet 214 of the cleaning robot 200 through the dust collection channel 145 of the home mobile platform 100 when the home mobile platform 100 is connected to the cleaning robot 200.

[0055] In this embodiment, the base station 300 is further provided with a dust inlet 311. When the base station 300 is docked with the home mobile platform 100 and the cleaning robot 200 is connected with the home mobile platform 100, the dust outlet 214 of the cleaning robot 200 is connected with the dust inlet 311 of the base station 300 through the dust collection channel 145. The dust and garbage in the cleaning robot 200 pass through the dust outlet 214 and the dust collection channel 145 of the home mobile platform 100, and then are adsorbed into the base station 300 through the dust inlet 311. When the base station 300 is directly docked with the cleaning robot 200, the dust outlet 214 of the cleaning robot 200 is connected with the dust inlet 311 on the base station body 310, and the dust and garbage in the cleaning robot 200 can be directly adsorbed into the base station 300 through the dust outlet 214 and the dust inlet 311. In this way, the normal cleaning function of the cleaning robot 200 can be ensured, which is conducive to improving the functional diversity of the base station 300.

[0056] In some embodiments, a sealing ring 312 is provided on the end surface of the dust inlet 311 for contacting with the end surface of the dust collection channel 145, and the sealing ring 312 is used to prevent airflow from leaking out. The sealing ring 312 is provided to improve the sealing between the dust inlet 311 and the dust collection channel 145. When the base station 300 absorbs garbage and dust in the cleaning robot 200, the sealing ring 312 can prevent airflow or dust from leaking out.

[0057] In some embodiments, Figure 1 As shown, there are two first docking structures 320, and the two first docking structures 320 are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the dust inlet 311. In this way, on the first hand, the two first docking structures 320 are conducive to improving the reliability and stability of docking, and avoiding the problem of poor docking between the base station 300 and the cleaning robot 200 or between the base station 300 and the home mobile platform 100. On the second hand, when the base station 300 and the home mobile platform 100 are docked or the base station 300 and the cleaning robot 200 are docked, the connection between the dust inlet 311 and the dust collection channel 145 or the connection between the dust inlet 311 and the dust outlet 214 can be completed at the same time.

[0058] An embodiment of the second aspect of the present application proposes a cleaning system, including a cleaning robot 200, a household mobile platform 100 and the base station 300 described in the first aspect, and the base station 300 can be docked with the cleaning robot 200 or the household mobile platform 100.

[0059] In the cleaning system of the present application, the first docking structure 320 of the base station 300 can be docked with the second docking structure 142 of the home mobile platform 100 to position the home mobile platform 100. In addition, it can also be docked with the third docking structure 212 of the cleaning robot 200 to position the cleaning robot 200, which is conducive to expanding the application scenarios of the base station 300 and improving its adaptability.
