DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0044] In order to more clearly understand the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention, the scheme of the embodiments of the present invention will be further described below. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present invention and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0045] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the embodiments of the utility model, but the embodiments of the utility model can also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein; obviously, the embodiments in the specification are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all of the embodiments.

[0046] Reference Figures 1 to 10 As shown, this embodiment provides a cleaning robot base station. The cleaning robot base station 10 includes a base station body 1 and a hatch 3. The base station body 1 has a receiving cavity 11, and one side of the receiving cavity 11 has an opening 111 for at least the cleaning robot to enter and exit.

[0047] Specifically, a translation mechanism 2 is provided between the hatch 3 and the base station body 1, and an engagement drive structure 4 is provided on the base station body 1. The engagement drive structure 4 is connected to the translation mechanism 2 and is used to drive the translation mechanism 2 to drive the hatch to translate, so as to close the opening 111 or open the opening 111. Specifically, the opening of the opening 111 here includes that the opening 111 is fully opened or that the opening 111 is partially opened.

[0048] Exemplarily, the translation mechanism 2 drives the hatch 3 to translate, specifically, when the hatch 3 translates between the position of closing the open opening 111 and the position of opening the open opening 111, the angle of the exterior surface of the hatch 3 (i.e., the side facing the user when the hatch 3 closes the open opening 111) basically does not change, so that the exterior surface of the hatch 3 can always be located on the front side of the base station body 1. In this way, when the user stands in front of the base station body 1, no matter whether the hatch 3 is in an open state or a closed state, the user sees the exterior surface of the hatch 3.

[0049] Specific reference Figures 2 to 5As shown, when the hatch 3 moves horizontally to open the opening 111, Figure 2 The hatch 3 in the middle will have a tendency to move to the right under the drive of the translation mechanism 2, and at the same time, there is a tendency to move upward during the movement to the right, thereby realizing the translation opening of the hatch 3. At this time, the hatch 3 moves to Figure 4 When the hatch 3 moves to close the opening 111, Figure 5 The hatch 3 in the middle will have a downward movement trend, and at the same time, it will have a leftward movement trend during the downward movement, so as to realize the translational closing of the hatch 3. At this time, the hatch 3 moves to Figure 2 At the location shown.

[0050] For example, when the sweeping robot goes out to perform a cleaning task, the hatch 3 can be moved horizontally to close the opening 111, thereby preventing pets from entering the sweeping robot base station 10 to a certain extent and damaging the sweeping robot base station 10 or causing harm to the animals. It can also prevent dust from falling into the accommodating cavity 11 to a certain extent, and effectively protect the components in the accommodating cavity 11.

[0051] For example, when the sweeping robot returns to the station to perform operations such as cleaning, drying, and dust collection, the hatch 3 is moved horizontally to close the open opening 111, so that the accommodating cavity 11 forms a relatively closed space, thereby being able to avoid, to a certain extent, the noise generated during the cleaning, dust collection, or drying operations from disturbing the user, thereby improving the user experience.

[0052] Exemplarily, a mopping and wiping member is provided at the bottom of the sweeping robot 100, and a cleaning portion is provided in the accommodating chamber 11, and the cleaning portion can generate relative motion with the mopping and wiping member to clean the mopping and wiping member. In specific implementation, when the sweeping robot 100 returns to the sweeping robot base station 10 after cleaning, the mopping and wiping member enters the accommodating chamber 11, and the mopping and wiping member corresponds to the cleaning portion, and the mopping and wiping member is cleaned by the cleaning portion to ensure the cleanliness of the mopping and wiping member and the subsequent cleaning effect of the sweeping robot 100 on the ground. A fan can also be provided on the base station body 1, and the fan is connected to the accommodating chamber 11 through a ventilation channel, and a heater is provided in the ventilation channel, and the ventilation channel mopping and wiping member is heated and dried by the heater.

[0053] The robot vacuum cleaner base station 10 also includes a dust box and a vacuum pump. The dust box is connected to a dust collection pipe, and the end of the dust collection pipe away from the dust box is used to connect to the dust box on the robot vacuum cleaner 100. The dust box is provided with ventilation holes, which are respectively connected to the pump chamber and the dust collection chamber of the vacuum pump to suck the air in the dust box to form a negative pressure state in the dust box. At this time, the garbage in the dust box of the robot vacuum cleaner 100 will be collected in the dust box through the dust collection pipe, so that the garbage in the dust box can be cleaned and collected.

[0054] The sweeping robot 100 in this embodiment may be, for example, a sweeping robot, a mopping robot, or a sweeping and mopping robot or other robots used for floor cleaning.

[0055] The sweeping robot base station provided in this embodiment is provided with a translation mechanism 2 between the hatch 3 and the base station body 1, and a meshing drive structure 4 is provided on the base station body 1, so that the meshing drive structure 4 is connected with the translation mechanism 2, and is used to drive the translation mechanism 2 to drive the hatch 3 to translate, so as to close the open opening 111 or open the open opening 111. Such a setting can be made according to actual needs, so that the meshing drive structure 4 drives the translation mechanism 2 to drive the hatch 3 to translate to adjust the open and closed state of the open opening 111, thereby improving the flexibility of use and meeting different use needs to a certain extent. For example, when the sweeping robot performs operations such as cleaning, drying, and dust collection in the sweeping robot base station 10, by moving the hatch 3 to close the open opening 111, the accommodating cavity 11 is closed to a certain extent, so that the noise generated during the cleaning, dust collection or drying operations can be avoided to a certain extent to disturb the user, thereby improving the user's use experience. For example, when the sweeping robot returns to the station or goes out to perform cleaning operations, by moving the hatch 3 to close the open opening 111, it is possible to prevent pets or other animals from entering the sweeping robot base station 10 to a certain extent, thereby damaging the sweeping robot base station 10 or causing harm to the animals, thereby improving the user experience. Moreover, by moving the hatch and closing the open opening, it is possible to prevent the surface of the structure located in the accommodating cavity 11 of the sweeping robot base station 10 from being dusted or aging due to direct sunlight, thereby ensuring the cleanliness of the sweeping robot base station 10 and protecting the sweeping robot base station 10 and the sweeping robot to a certain extent.

[0056] At the same time, since the meshing drive structure 4 can drive the translation mechanism 2 to drive the cabin door 3 to translate, that is to say, in the process of adjusting the opening and closing state of the opening port 111, the cabin door 3 itself will not rotate, but will translate. Compared with the solution in which the cabin door rotates, the space occupied by the cabin door 3 when it moves is saved to a certain extent. Moreover, this arrangement makes the appearance surface of the cabin door 3 (that is, the side facing the user when the cabin door 3 closes the opening port 111) always located on the front side of the base station body 1. That is, when the user stands in front of the base station body 1, no matter whether the cabin door 3 is in an open state or a closed state, the user sees the appearance surface of the cabin door 3. Therefore, while realizing the adjustment of the opening and closing of the opening port 111, the appearance of the entire sweeping robot base station 10 can also be improved to a certain extent. Moreover, since the appearance surface of the cabin door 3 faces outward, the appearance manufacturing requirements for the inner wall surface of the cabin door 3 can be reduced during manufacturing.

[0057] In some embodiments, reference Figures 7 to 10As shown, the meshing drive structure 4 includes a pusher 43 and a rotatable gear 42. The pusher 43 is rotatably connected to the translation mechanism 2, and the pusher 43 has meshing teeth that mesh with the gear 42. When the gear 42 rotates, the translation mechanism 2 can drive the hatch 3 to translate under the action of the pusher 43.

[0058] With such arrangement, during the rotation of the gear 42, the pusher 43 cooperates with the gear 42 for transmission, so that the pusher 43 can drive the translation mechanism 2 under the drive of the gear 42 to drive the hatch 3 to translate to open and close the opening 111, thereby meeting different usage requirements.

[0059] Exemplarily, the gear 42 can be arranged in the accommodating cavity 11, so that the space of the accommodating cavity 11 can be effectively utilized, making the structure of the entire sweeping robot base station 10 compact, and the above-mentioned arrangement can also protect the gear 42 to a certain extent, avoiding damage to the gear 42 and the like, ensuring the stable transmission of the gear 42 and the pushing member 43, thereby ensuring the stability of the translation mechanism 2 when driving the hatch 3 to translate, and realizing the stable adjustment of the opening and closing of the opening 111.

[0060] In some embodiments, reference Figures 7 to 10 As shown, the meshing drive structure 4 further includes a drive member 41, which is connected to the gear 42 and is used to drive the gear 42 to rotate. This arrangement facilitates the rotation drive of the gear 42, can save manpower to a certain extent, and is easy to use.

[0061] Exemplarily, the driving member 41 may be a driving motor, for example, whose output shaft is connected to the gear 42 and is used to drive the gear 42 to rotate. Specifically, the driving motor may be rotatably connected to the base station body 1.

[0062] Of course, the driving member 41 may also include, for example, a driving cylinder, an eccentric wheel and a connecting rod, one end of the connecting rod is rotatably connected to a position other than the rotation center of the eccentric wheel, the eccentric wheel is connected to the gear 42, and the telescopic end of the driving cylinder is rotatably connected to the other end of the connecting rod. When the driving cylinder is started, the reciprocating telescopic end of the driving cylinder drives the eccentric wheel to rotate, and the gear 42 is rotated.

[0063] In some embodiments, reference Figures 7 to 10 As shown, the pushing member 43 is an arc-shaped rack that is recessed in a direction away from the driving member 41 , and a surface of the arc-shaped rack that faces the gear 42 has meshing teeth.

[0064] Since the gear 42 rotates and drives the pushing member 43 to move to adjust the opening and closing of the open mouth 111, the movement trajectory of the pushing member 43 is arc-shaped. Therefore, through the above-mentioned arrangement, the space required for the movement of the pushing member 43 can be saved to a certain extent, thereby avoiding to a certain extent the interference between the pushing member 43 and other structures in the accommodating chamber 11 during movement. In addition, this can also save the space of the accommodating chamber 11 to a certain extent, which is conducive to realizing the small size of the sweeping robot base station 10.

[0065] Of course, in other embodiments, the pushing member 43 may also be a spur rack.

[0066] In some embodiments, reference Figures 6 to 10 As shown, the engagement drive structure 4 is connected in the accommodating cavity 11. A first mounting seat 5 is provided on the base station body 1, and the first mounting seat 5 has a mounting cavity 51. At least part of the engagement drive structure 4 is located in the mounting cavity 51, and the engagement drive structure 4 is connected to the base station body 1 through the first mounting seat 5. The side of the mounting cavity 51 facing the translation mechanism 2 has an opening for the engagement drive structure 4 to extend out to connect with the translation mechanism 2.

[0067] With such an arrangement, the connection and fixation of the meshing drive structure 4 on the base station body 1 is indirectly realized through the first mounting seat 5. Compared with the solution of directly connecting the meshing drive structure to the base station body, such an arrangement can, to a certain extent, avoid the deformation of the base station body 1 due to the assembly force, thereby protecting the base station body 1 to a certain extent; at the same time, by making the first mounting seat 5 have a mounting cavity 51, and making at least part of the meshing drive structure 4 located in the mounting cavity 51, the meshing drive structure 4 can be further protected. For example, it can, to a certain extent, avoid the meshing drive structure 4 being affected during the cleaning, dust collection and drying operations of the sweeping robot 100, thereby improving the protection effect of the meshing drive structure 4, which is beneficial to improving the stability and reliability of the cabin door 3 during the translation process.

[0068] In some embodiments, reference Figures 6 to 10 As shown, a second mounting seat 6 is provided on the base station body 1, and the translation mechanism 2 is connected to the base station body 1 through the second mounting seat 6. In this way, the translation mechanism 2 is indirectly connected and fixed to the base station body 1 through the second mounting seat 6. Compared with the solution of directly connecting the translation mechanism to the base station body, this arrangement can avoid the deformation of the base station body 1 due to assembly force to a certain extent, thereby protecting the base station body 1 to a certain extent and ensuring the stability of the hatch 3 during the translation process. Exemplarily, one end of the translation mechanism 2 can be rotatably connected to the second mounting seat 6.

[0069] In some embodiments, reference Figures 7 to 9As shown, the translation mechanism 2 has at least two first connection points 214 respectively connected to the base station body 1 for rotation and at least two second connection points 215 respectively connected to the door 3 for rotation. The lines connecting the at least two first connection points 214 and the at least two second connection points 215 together form a parallelogram structure.

[0070] That is, refer to Figure 7 , Fig. 9 and Fig.10 As shown, among all the first connection points 214, the connection line between at least two first connection points 214, the connection line between the corresponding two second connection points 215, and the translation mechanism 2 can form a parallelogram together. This arrangement ensures that the cabin door 3 can basically maintain translation under the drive of the translation mechanism 2, and will not tilt or fall, and can improve the stability of the cabin door 3 during translation, and further ensure that the appearance surface of the cabin door 3 is always located at the front side of the base station body 1 during the translation of the cabin door 3.

[0071] Exemplarily, in some embodiments, Figure 7 and Fig. 9 The dotted line in Fig.10 The arrows and dashed arrows in the figure show the parallelogram structure formed between the first connection point 214 and the second connection point 215 and the translation mechanism 2 when the hatch 3 is in the two states of closing the opening 111 and opening the opening 111. Among all the first connection points 214, at least two first connection points 214 can be on the translation plane of the hatch 3 (i.e., Figure 7 , Fig. 9 and Fig.10 The projections of the two first connection points 214 in the plane where the hatch 3 is located do not overlap, for example, the line connecting the two first connection points 214 can be made an oblique line. At the same time, the projections of at least two second connection points 215 in the translation plane of the hatch 3 can be made not overlap, for example, the line connecting the two second connection points 215 can be made parallel to the above-mentioned oblique line, so that it can be ensured that the above-mentioned parallelogram structure can be basically formed in the translation plane of the hatch 3 during the entire translation process of the hatch 3.

[0072] Exemplarily, in some embodiments, the meshing drive structure 4 can also be connected to the position where the translation mechanism and the base station body 1 are rotationally connected (i.e., connected at the first connection point 214), and the meshing drive structure 4 can directly drive the translation mechanism 2 to rotate around the first connection point. For example, the meshing drive structure 4 is a drive motor.

[0073] In some embodiments, the translation mechanism 2 includes at least two spaced connection structures 21. Figures 2 to 10As shown, one end of each connection structure 21 has at least one first connection point 214 , and the other end of each connection structure 21 has at least one second connection point 215 .

[0074] In this way, a parallelogram structure can be formed between at least two connecting structures 21, at least within the translation plane of the hatch 3. When the translation mechanism 2 drives the hatch 3 to translate, the hatch 3 has high stability and good balance.

[0075] Exemplarily, in some embodiments, at least two connection structures 21 may be arranged along the rotation axis of the translation mechanism 2 relative to the base station body 1 (ie, Figure 3 and Figure 6 The XX direction) are arranged at intervals.

[0076] Exemplarily, the connection structure 21 may be a sheet metal part, or a plastic part, etc.

[0077] In some embodiments, reference Figures 6 to 10 As shown, the connection structure 21 includes a first connection member 211 and a second connection member 212. The first connection member 211 has a receiving groove, and the second connection member 212 is located in the receiving groove. One end of the first connection member 211 and one end of the second connection member 212 each have at least one first connection point 214, and the other end of the first connection member 211 and the other end of the second connection member 212 each have at least one second connection point 215.

[0078] In this way, the above-mentioned parallelogram structure can be formed at least between the first connecting member 211 and the second connecting member 212 to ensure the translational movement of the cabin door 3. At the same time, by arranging the second connecting member 212 in the first connecting member 211, the layout space of the first connecting member 211 and the second connecting member 212 between the base station body 1 and the cabin door 3 can be saved to a certain extent, thereby improving the compactness of the connecting structure 21. Therefore, while realizing the translational movement of the cabin door 3, it can also avoid the interference between the translation mechanism 2 and the external structure to a certain extent.

[0079] Of course, in other implementations, the first connecting member 211 and the second connecting member 212 may not be arranged in a nested manner, but may be arranged at intervals. Alternatively, the connecting structure 21 may include only one connecting member, for example, the connecting members in at least two connecting structures 21 may form a parallelogram structure in the translation plane of the hatch 3.

[0080] In some embodiments, reference Figures 4 to 10 As shown, the first connection point 214 is located in the accommodating cavity 11 .

[0081] This arrangement effectively utilizes the space in the accommodating cavity 11, making the structure of the entire sweeping robot base station 10 compact. In addition, the above arrangement can also protect the rotation connection point between the translation mechanism 2 and the base station body 1 to a certain extent, thereby ensuring the stability of the rotation coordination between the translation mechanism 2 and the base station body 1.

[0082] In some embodiments, reference Figures 4 to 8 As shown, the translation mechanism 2 is provided with an avoidance area 20 to avoid the base station body 1 during the translation of the cabin door 3.

[0083] This arrangement can, to a certain extent, avoid interference between the hatch door 3 and the base station body 1 when the hatch door 3 moves horizontally, thereby protecting the hatch door 3 and the base station body 1 to a certain extent, and also ensures the opening degree of the hatch door 3 to a certain extent, so that the hatch door 3 can be fully opened.

[0084] In some embodiments, reference Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, for example, the first connecting member 211 may include at least one connecting plate body 213, each connecting plate body 213 includes a first connecting plate 2131 and a second connecting plate 2132, one end of the first connecting plate 2131 may be formed as a first connecting point 214, one end of the second connecting plate 2132 may be formed as a second connecting point 215, and the other end of the first connecting plate 2131 is connected to the other end of the second connecting plate 2132. A preset angle is formed between the first connecting plate 2131 and the second connecting plate 2132, so that the above-mentioned avoidance area 20 is formed between the first connecting plate 2131 and the second connecting plate 2132.

[0085] In this way, the first connecting plate 2131 can be rotated to the direction of the cleaning robot 100 entering and exiting the accommodating cavity 11 ( Figure 5 The hatch 3 is in a position parallel to the ZZ direction shown in the figure so that the hatch 3 can be fully opened.

[0086] In some embodiments, the length of the first connecting plate 2131 can be made equal to the horizontal distance from the first connecting point 214 to the inner wall surface of the hatch 3 when the hatch 3 is translated to the opening 111 is fully opened.

[0087] In this way, when the door 3 is in the fully opened state, that is, the first connecting plate 2131 rotates to the position corresponding to the first connecting plate 2131. Figure 5 When the ZZ direction shown is parallel, the horizontal distance between the hatch 3 and the base station body 1 is small, thereby reducing the space occupied by the hatch 3 when it is fully opened to a certain extent, and further avoiding the interference between the hatch 3 and other structures outside the sweeping robot base station 10 when it is fully opened to a certain extent.

[0088] In some embodiments, the first connecting plate 2131 and the second connecting plate 2132 are integrally formed, which can improve the overall structural strength of the first connecting member 211 and facilitate subsequent assembly. It also ensures the overall stability of the first connecting member 211, thereby ensuring the stability of the hatch 3 during translation.

[0089] In some embodiments, the junction of the first connecting plate 2131 and the second connecting plate 2132 has a smooth transition, which can avoid damage to the junction of the first connecting plate 2131 and the second connecting plate 2132 due to stress concentration to a certain extent, which is conducive to ensuring the stability of the first connecting member 211, thereby improving the stability of the door 3 during translation.

[0090] Specifically, there may be two connecting plate bodies 213, which are connected by an intermediate connecting plate located at the bottom ends of the two connecting plate bodies 213, and the connecting plate bodies 213 and the intermediate connecting plate together enclose the above-mentioned accommodating groove. For example, the intermediate connecting plate and the two connecting plate bodies 213 may be integrally formed to improve the structural strength of the first connecting member 211 and ensure the stability and reliability of the hatch 3 when it moves horizontally.

[0091] In some embodiments, reference Figures 1 to 10 As shown, the translation mechanism 2 is arranged horizontally with the rotation axis of the base station body 1. Figure 4 and Figure 8 The hatch 3 can be moved in the upper right direction or the lower left direction to adjust the opening and closing of the opening 111, which can save the movement space of the hatch 3 when opening and closing the opening 111 to a certain extent, thereby avoiding the interference between the hatch 3 and other structures outside the base station 10 of the sweeping robot to a certain extent.

[0092] Of course, in other embodiments, the translation mechanism 2 and the rotation axis of the base station body 1 may also be arranged vertically.

[0093] In some embodiments, reference Figures 4 to 10 As shown, the first connection point 214 is connected to the top of the accommodating cavity 11 .

[0094] This arrangement can save the movement space required for the door 3 to move horizontally to adjust the opening and closing of the opening 111 to a certain extent, thereby avoiding the interference between the door 3 and other structures outside the cleaning robot base station 10 to a certain extent, ensuring the normal adjustment of the opening and closing of the opening 111.

[0095] In a specific implementation, the first connection point 214 can be set close to the open opening 111. For example, when the translation mechanism 2 and the rotation axis of the base station body 1 are set horizontally, the first connection point 214 can be set at a position flush with the top wall of the open opening 111, or the first connection point 214 can be set at a position close to the top wall of the open opening 111.

[0096] In some embodiments, the meshing drive structure 4 is connected to at least one connection structure 21 to drive the translation mechanism 2 to drive the cabin door 3 to translate.

[0097] In specific implementation, the meshing drive structure 4 can be connected to only one of the connection structures 21 (for example, the pusher 43 is rotatably connected to the second connection member 212 of one of the connection structures 21). In other words, the meshing drive structure 4 drives the connection structure 21 connected thereto to drive the cabin door 3 to move horizontally. Meanwhile, during the translation of the cabin door 3, other connection structures 21 not connected to the meshing drive structure 4 will also move relative to the base station body 1. This arrangement improves the stability of the cabin door 3 during its movement.

[0098] In addition, the meshing drive structure 4 may be connected to each connection structure 21 . Alternatively, at least two meshing drive structures 4 may be provided, with one meshing drive structure 4 corresponding to one connection structure 21 .

[0099] Exemplarily, in some embodiments, the cleaning robot base station 10 may further include a control device. The meshing drive structure 4 is electrically connected to the control device, and the control device is used to control the driving member 41 of the meshing drive structure 4 to work, so that the gear 42 rotates and pushes the pusher 43 to move. At this time, the connecting structure 21 can be driven by the pusher 43 to rotate around the first connection point 214 to drive the hatch 3 to move horizontally to close the opening 111 or to move horizontally to open the opening 111.

[0100] With this arrangement, the working state of the meshing drive structure 4 can be adjusted by the control device to open or close the opening 111 according to different usage requirements, thereby improving convenience during use.

[0101] Exemplarily, the control device may be, for example, a control button arranged on the base station body 1, or the control device may also be a remote controller or the like.

[0102] In some embodiments, reference Figures 1 to 4 As shown, one side of the base station body 1 is recessed toward the accommodating cavity 11, and the opening 111 is arranged at the recess 12, so that when the hatch 3 moves horizontally to close the opening 111, the appearance surface of the hatch 3 is flush with the outer wall surface of the base station body 1. This arrangement can improve the appearance of the entire sweeping robot base station 10 to a certain extent when the hatch 3 is completely closed.

[0103] For example, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, it can be seen that the top of the side where the opening 111 is set on the base station body 1 is relatively convex to the right. When the hatch 3 moves horizontally to close the opening 111, the appearance of the hatch 3 is flush with the outer wall of the base station body 1, which specifically means that when the hatch 3 completely closes the opening 111, the hatch 3 is flush with the side of the base station body 1 facing the user when the sweeping robot base station 10 is in use.

[0104] In specific implementation, when the sweeping robot base station 10 has a climbing ramp 13, and at least part of the climbing ramp 13 extends from the open opening 111 to the outside of the accommodating cavity 11, when the hatch 3 completely closes the open opening 111, the bottom end surface of the hatch 3 is relatively abutted against the climbing ramp 13.

[0105] This embodiment also provides a sweeping robot base station, including a base station body and a hatch. The base station body includes a main body and a support frame sleeved on the outside of the main body, and the main body has a receiving cavity. One side of the support frame has an open opening, and the hatch is arranged at the open opening. The position of the receiving cavity corresponding to the open opening has a connecting opening, so as to at least allow the sweeping robot to enter and exit the receiving cavity. A translation mechanism is arranged between the hatch and the base station body, and the translation mechanism is used to drive the hatch to translate to close the open opening or open the open opening.

[0106] That is to say, when the hatch opens the opening, the sweeping robot can enter the accommodating chamber through the opening and the connecting port; when the sweeping robot needs to come out of the accommodating chamber, the hatch is driven by the translation mechanism to translate the opening to open the opening, and the sweeping robot can come out through the connecting port and the opening.

[0107] The support frame may be a metal frame, for example.

[0108] When in use, a washing machine or other clothes processing device or other structure can be stacked on the support frame to support the washing machine, etc., saving the floor space occupied by the sweeping robot base station and the clothes processing device, and preventing the clothes processing device from causing pressure damage to the sweeping robot base station. In other words, the support frame of the base station body also plays a role in supporting the clothes processing device, etc.

For details, please refer to the description of the above embodiment.

[0110] This embodiment further provides a cleaning device, including a clothes processing device and a cleaning robot base station 10 , wherein the clothes processing device is located above the cleaning robot base station 10 .

[0111] By arranging the clothes processing device above the cleaning robot base station 10, the floor space occupied by the cleaning equipment is saved.

[0112] The structure and implementation principle of the sweeping robot base station in this embodiment are the same as those of the sweeping robot base station provided in the above embodiments, and can bring the same or similar technical effects.
