[0049] In order to better understand the above-mentioned technical scheme, the technical scheme of the embodiments of the present application is described in detail below through the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the embodiments of the present application and the specific features in the embodiments are detailed descriptions of the technical scheme of the embodiments of the present application, rather than limitations on the technical scheme of the present application. In the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present application and the technical features in the embodiments may be combined with each other.

[0050] The present application takes into account that after working for a certain period of time, the sweeping robot needs to return to the base station to charge the cleaning parts on the sweeping robot. The charging process may cause the temperature of the sweeping robot to rise, especially compared with the embedded base station, which has low heat dissipation efficiency and can easily cause the temperature of the battery of the sweeping robot to rise, causing the battery to trigger the temperature protection threshold and prolong the charging time.

[0051] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, Figure 3 The arrow output through the middle is the heat dissipation path, and the arrow output through the side of the base station body is the drying path. According to the first aspect of the embodiment of the present application, a base station is proposed, including: a base station body 110, a storage space is formed in the base station body 110; a heat dissipation component 120, the heat dissipation component 120 is connected to the base station body 110, and the output end of the heat dissipation component 120 faces the storage space.

[0052] The base station provided in the embodiment of the present application can turn on the heat dissipation component 120 during the charging process of the cleaning system main body. The heat dissipation component 120 can dissipate heat for the cleaning system main body stored in the storage space, especially dissipating heat for the power storage module of the cleaning system main body, which can ensure the charging efficiency of the cleaning system main body and improve the user experience.

[0053] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, in a feasible implementation manner, the base station further includes: an elastic member 140 , and the heat dissipation assembly 120 is connected to the base station body 110 via the elastic member 140 .

[0054] In this technical solution, the base station may further include an elastic member 140, and the heat dissipation assembly 120 may be connected to the base station body 110 through the elastic member 140. Based on this, the setting of the elastic member 140 may buffer the vibration generated during the operation of the heat dissipation assembly 120, which is beneficial to reducing noise and improving user experience.

[0055] It is understandable that the elastic member 140 can be made of soft rubber material. For example, the elastic member 140 made of soft rubber material is sleeved on the heat dissipation component 120, and then the heat dissipation component 120 is connected to the base station body 110. The elastic member 140 can play a role in buffering vibrations and achieve a noise reduction effect.

[0056] It is understandable that the elastic member 140 may also be made of foam material, which can also play the role of buffering vibration and achieving a noise reduction effect.

[0057] like Figure 3 As shown, in a feasible implementation manner, the heat dissipation assembly 120 is arranged in the middle of the base station body 110 to dissipate heat for the storage space via the middle of the base station body 110 .

[0058] In this technical solution, the arrangement position of the heat dissipation component 120 is further provided. The heat dissipation component 120 can be arranged in the middle of the base station body 110. Then, the heat dissipation component 120 is turned on. The heat dissipation component 120 can directly dissipate heat for the cleaning system body stored in the storage space through the middle of the base station body 110, which can shorten the distance between the heat dissipation component 120 and the cleaning system body and improve the heat dissipation effect.

[0059] like Figures 3 to 6 As shown, in a feasible embodiment, the heat dissipation assembly 120 includes: a first air supply member 121, the first air supply member 121 is connected to the base station body 110; a first guide member 122, the first guide member 122 is connected to the output end of the first air supply member 121, and the output end of the first guide member 122 is connected to the storage space.

[0060] In this technical solution, the structural composition of the heat dissipation component 120 is further provided. The heat dissipation component 120 may include a first air supply member 121 and a first guide member 122. Based on this, when it is necessary to dissipate heat for the cleaning system main body, the first air supply member 121 can be turned on. The first air supply member 121 generates an airflow which is supplied to the storage space through the first guide member 122. Based on this, the airflow can be used to dissipate heat for the cleaning system main body, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency.

[0061] It is understandable that the first air supply member 121 can be connected to the base station body 110 through the elastic member 140. Such a configuration can buffer the vibration generated by the first air supply member 121 during operation and reduce noise.

[0062] like Figures 3 to 6As shown, in a feasible implementation, the base station also includes: a drying component 130, the drying component 130 is connected to the base station body 110, and the drying component 130 is used to provide heat energy for the storage space; wherein the heat dissipation path of the heat dissipation component 120 is different from the drying path of the drying component 130.

[0063] The base station provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a base station body 110, a heat dissipation component 120 and a drying component 130. During use, when the cleaning system body returns to the storage space and the base station body 110 completes the cleaning of the cleaning parts of the cleaning system body, the drying component 130 can be turned on, and the drying component 130 provides heat energy to the storage space to promote the evaporation of water vapor on the cleaning parts, thereby drying the cleaning parts.

[0064] The base station provided in the embodiment of the present application can turn on the heat dissipation component 120 during the drying process. The heat dissipation component 120 can dissipate heat for the cleaning system body stored in the storage space, especially dissipating heat for the power storage module of the cleaning system body to ensure the charging efficiency of the cleaning system body and improve the user experience.

[0065] In the base station provided in the embodiment of the present application, the heat dissipation path of the heat dissipation component 120 is different from the drying path of the drying component 130, that is, the heat dissipation path and the drying path can be set separately, and the two will not affect each other. Such a setting not only ensures the drying efficiency, but also ensures the charging efficiency of the cleaning system body.

[0066] It is understandable that the cleaning parts are usually assembled to the bottom of the cleaning system body, so the output end of the drying component 130 is directed to the bottom of the cleaning system body, and the output end of the heat dissipation component 120 can be conducted to the top of the cleaning system body. Based on this, the heat dissipation path of the heat dissipation component 120 and the drying path of the drying component 130 can be avoided, while ensuring the drying efficiency, the charging efficiency of the power storage module is guaranteed as much as possible.

[0067] like Figures 3 to 6 As shown, in a feasible implementation manner, the drying component 130 is arranged on the side of the base station body 110 to dry the cleaning piece through the side of the base station body 110 .

[0068] In this technical solution, the arrangement position of the drying component 130 is further provided. The drying component 130 is arranged on the side of the base station body 110, that is, compared with the heat dissipation component 120, the drying component 130 is closer to the edge of the base station. Based on this, the heat energy generated by the drying component 130 can be supplied to the cleaning system body through the side of the base station body 110, and the heat energy can be transported to the bottom of the cleaning system body through the side of the base station body 110, so as to facilitate the supply of heat energy to the cleaning parts of the cleaning system body. At the same time, combined with the arrangement of the heat dissipation component 120 in the middle of the base station body 110, the heat dissipation path of the heat dissipation component 120 and the drying path of the drying component 130 avoid each other, which can reduce the temperature of the cleaning system body while ensuring the drying effect of the cleaning parts.

[0069] like Figures 3 to 6 As shown, in a feasible embodiment, the drying component 130 includes: a heating element, which is connected to the base station body 110; a second air supply element 131, which is connected to the base station body 110; a second guide element 132, which is connected to the output end of the second air supply element 131, and the output end of the second guide element 132 is connected to the storage space, for transporting the heat energy generated by the heating element to the transport storage space.

[0070] In this technical solution, the structural composition of a drying component 130 is further provided. The drying component 130 may include a heating element, a second air supply element 131 and a second guide element 132. When it is necessary to dry the cleaning elements on the cleaning system body, the heating element and the second air supply element 131 may be turned on. The second air supply element 131 may transport the heat energy generated by the heating element to the cleaning elements of the cleaning system body in the form of airflow. The cleaning elements may evaporate water vapor when heated, thereby achieving drying of the cleaning elements.

[0071] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, in a feasible embodiment, the base station also includes a ramp plate 150, which is arranged in the storage space; a cleaning tray 160; wherein the output end of the heat dissipation component 120 is connected to the top of the ramp plate 150, and the output end of the drying component 130 is connected to the cleaning tray 160.

[0072] In this technical solution, the base station may also include a ramp plate 150 and cleaning parts. Based on this, the ramp plate 150 can be set to guide the cleaning system body, so that the cleaning system body can return to the storage space and exit the storage space. The cleaning parts on the cleaning system body can be cleaned by the setting of the cleaning plate 160.

[0073] In this technical solution, the output end of the drying component 130 is connected to the cleaning plate 160, and the cleaning parts on the cleaning plate 160 can be dried based on the heat energy.

[0074] like Figure 3 As shown, in a feasible implementation manner, the base station further includes: a hatch 170, which is connected to the base station body 110 and is used to enclose the storage space.

[0075] In this technical solution, the base station may further include a hatch 170. When the cleaning system body does not need to operate, the storage space can be closed by setting the hatch 170, so that the appearance of the base station can be flat, which can make the base station more beautiful and reduce the probability of debris invading the storage space. It is particularly suitable as an embedded base station, which can make the appearance of the base station adapt to the user's home decoration style and make the base station more beautiful.

[0076] In a feasible implementation, the base station further includes: a sensor, the sensor is used to obtain the temperature of the storage space; a processor, the processor is connected to the sensor and the heat dissipation component 120, and the processor is used to control the opening and closing of the heat dissipation component 120 based on the inspection result of the sensor.

[0077] In this technical solution, the base station may also include a sensor and a processor. Based on this, during operation, the temperature in the storage space can be detected by the sensor, and the processor can obtain the detection result of the sensor. Further, based on the detection result of the sensor, it can determine whether to turn on the heat dissipation component 120, so that the heat dissipation component 120 can be turned on automatically, making the operation of the base station more convenient.

[0078] It is understandable that during actual use, a temperature threshold can be set for the processor. When the processor learns that the detection result of the sensor exceeds the temperature threshold, it means that the temperature in the storage space is high. In this case, the heat dissipation component 120 can be turned on by the processor to dissipate heat for the cleaning system body in the storage space.

[0079] It is understandable that the present application can realize automatic control of opening and closing of the heat dissipation component 120 based on the temperature of the storage space by establishing a connection relationship between the sensor, the processor and the heat dissipation component 120.

[0080] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, according to the second aspect of the embodiment of the present application, a cleaning system is proposed, including: a base station as in any of the above technical solutions; a cleaning system body, and the cleaning system body is used to be arranged in the storage space.

[0081] The cleaning system provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a base station as described in any of the above technical solutions, so the cleaning system has all the beneficial effects of the base station in the above technical solutions.

[0082] The cleaning system provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a base station and a cleaning system main body. During use, when the cleaning system main body returns to the storage space and the base station body 110 completes the cleaning of the cleaning parts of the cleaning system main body, the drying component 130 can be turned on. The drying component 130 provides heat energy to the storage space to promote the evaporation of water vapor on the cleaning parts, thereby achieving drying of the cleaning parts.

[0083] The cleaning system provided in the embodiment of the present application can turn on the heat dissipation component 120 during the drying process. The heat dissipation component 120 can dissipate heat for the cleaning system body stored in the storage space, especially dissipating heat for the power storage module of the cleaning system body to ensure the charging efficiency of the cleaning system body and improve the user experience.

[0084] In the cleaning system provided in the embodiment of the present application, the heat dissipation path of the heat dissipation component 120 is different from the drying path of the drying component 130, that is, the heat dissipation path and the drying path can be set separately, and the two will not affect each other. Such a setting not only ensures the drying efficiency, but also ensures the charging efficiency of the cleaning system body.

[0085] In a feasible implementation, the cleaning system body includes: a power storage module, which is located at the top of the cleaning system body; and a cleaning member, which is connected to the cleaning system body and is located at the bottom of the cleaning system body.

[0086] In this technical solution, the structural composition of the cleaning system main body is further provided. The cleaning system main body may include a power storage module, which is used to provide driving force for the cleaning system main body. When the cleaning system main body completes the cleaning operation, the power storage module can return to the base station for charging. During this process, if the cleaning parts are dried, the temperature of the power storage module may increase. The heat dissipation module may be turned on to dissipate heat for the power storage module to avoid the power storage module triggering the temperature protection threshold and ensure the charging efficiency of the power storage module.

[0087] In this technical solution, the power storage module is located at the top of the cleaning system body, and the cleaning parts are located at the bottom of the cleaning system body. Based on this, the heat dissipation component 120 can supply air to the top of the heat dissipation component 120 to dissipate heat for the power storage module, and the drying module can transport heat energy to the bottom of the cleaning system body to dry the cleaning parts. The heat dissipation path of the heat dissipation component 120 and the drying path of the drying component 130 can be avoided, which not only ensures the drying efficiency, but also ensures the charging efficiency of the cleaning system body.

[0088] In some examples, the cleaning system may be an automatic cleaning system, the cleaning system body may be a sweeping robot, and the power storage module may be a battery.
