[0049] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in combination 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.

[0050] First, those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments are merely used to explain the technical principles of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Those skilled in the art may adjust them as needed to suit specific applications.

[0051] Secondly, it should be noted that in the description of this application, terms such as "up", "down", "left", "right", "front", "back", "inside", and "outside" indicating directions or positional relationships are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. This is only for the convenience of description and does not indicate or imply that the device or component must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it cannot be understood as a limitation on this application.

[0052] Furthermore, it should be noted that, in the description of this application, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "connected" and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; they can refer to mechanical connections, electrical connections, or internal connections between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0053] Throughout this specification, reference to terms such as "one embodiment," "some embodiments," "illustrative embodiments," "examples," "specific examples," or "some examples" means that the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described in conjunction with the embodiment or example are included in at least one embodiment or example of the present disclosure. In this specification, the illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in any one or more embodiments or examples.

[0054] Cleaning devices like vacuum cleaners and mops typically consist of a main body and a floor brush connected to the main body. Users operate the main body to drive the floor brush to clean. The floor brush is typically equipped with cleaning components such as a roller brush and a mop. These components can be wetted with water for wet mopping. After cleaning, the dirty cleaning components need to be rinsed with clean water. After cleaning, they can be placed on a base station and dried with hot air to prevent mold and bacterial growth.

[0055] However, when the current drying base station dries the cleaning parts, the hot air is blown directly onto the surface of the cleaning parts, and it is not easy for the hot air to enter the interior of the cleaning parts. Moreover, most of the hot air will be rebounded and lost after hitting the surface of the cleaning parts, resulting in low hot air utilization efficiency, slow drying speed and low efficiency of the cleaning parts.

[0056] In view of the above problems, the present application provides a drying base station and cleaning equipment. By setting a hot air channel in the receiving groove for placing the cleaning parts of the cleaning device on the drying base station, the hot air can flow along the length direction of the receiving groove to dry the cleaning parts along the length direction of the cleaning parts, thereby increasing the contact area and contact time between the hot air and the cleaning parts, reducing the direct impact of the hot air on the cleaning parts, avoiding the rebound loss of hot air, and improving the drying efficiency of the drying base station on the cleaning parts.

[0057] Figure 1 A cross-sectional view of a drying base station provided in an embodiment of the present application, Figure 2 for Figure 1 Partial view of position A in the middle, Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the hot air channel of the drying base station provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 4 for Figure 3 Partial view of position B in the middle.

[0058] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a drying base station 10 for drying a cleaning member 20 of a cleaning device. The drying base station 10 includes a base 100, a fan 200, and a heating unit 300. The base 100 has a heating air duct 101. The fan 200 is configured to blow air into the heating air duct 101.

[0059] The heating unit 300 is arranged in the heating air duct 101. The heating unit 300 is used to heat the air flow flowing through the heating air duct 101, so that the cold air blown into the heating air duct 101 by the fan 200 increases in temperature when flowing out and becomes hot air. The hot air can be used to dry the cleaning part 20.

[0060] The top of the base 100 has a receiving groove 102. When the cleaning device is placed on the drying base station 10, the cleaning member 20 is at least partially located in the receiving groove 102. The base 100 supports the cleaning device.

[0061] In some embodiments, a hot air channel 103 is defined within the receiving tank 102. The hot air channel 103 extends in a first direction. An air inlet 1031 of the hot air channel 103 is located at an end of the receiving tank 102 along the first direction, and the air inlet 1031 is in communication with the heating air channel 101. Hot air generated by the heated airflow within the heating air channel 101 can enter the receiving tank 102 through the air inlet 1031. The hot air can flow along the hot air channel 103 within the receiving tank 102 and dry the portion of the cleaning member 20 located within the receiving tank 102.

[0062] It is understandable that the first direction may be the length direction of the receiving tank 102, that is, the hot air channel 103 extends along the length direction of the receiving tank 102. The contour shape of the receiving tank 102 matches the contour shape of the cleaning member 20. When the cleaning device is placed on the drying base station 10, the surface of the cleaning member 20 can fit the groove wall of the receiving tank 102 as much as possible. After the hot air enters the receiving tank 102 from the air inlet 1031, it can contact the surface of the cleaning member 20 while flowing along the length direction of the receiving tank 102. The hot air is blown from the end of the cleaning member 20 along the length direction of the cleaning member 20 for drying, thereby increasing the contact area and contact time between the hot air and the cleaning member 20.

[0063] The first direction is defined as the X direction. The receiving groove 102 extends along the X direction. When the cleaning device is placed on the drying base station 10, the cleaning member 20 extends along the X direction. Accordingly, the hot air entering the hot air channel 103 flows along the X direction to dry the cleaning member 20. The X direction can be a horizontal direction.

[0064] For example, the cleaning member 20 of the cleaning device may include a cylindrical roller brush that can clean the surface to be cleaned by rolling. The wall of the receiving groove 102 may be an arc surface. When the cleaning device is placed on the drying base station 10, the axial direction of the roller brush is the X direction, and the hot air flow through the hot air channel 103 can dry the bristles on the roller brush surface along the axial direction of the roller brush.

[0065] It should be noted that the drying base station 10 provided in the embodiment of the present application is provided with a hot air channel 103 in the receiving groove 102 of the base 100, and the hot air blown out from the heating air duct 101 can enter the hot air channel 103 from the end of the receiving groove 102. The hot air blown along the hot air channel 103 can fully contact the cleaning part 20 located in the receiving groove 102, thereby increasing the contact time and contact area between the hot air and the cleaning part 20, and improving the drying efficiency of the drying base station 10 for the cleaning part 20 of the cleaning device.

[0066] First, the specific structure of the hot air channel 103 and the specific method of drying the cleaning element 20 with hot air will be described in detail below.

[0067] Please continue to refer to Figures 1 to 4 In a possible implementation, there may be two air inlets 1031, which may be located at both ends of the accommodating tank 102 along the first direction. The air outlet 1032 of the hot air channel 103 may be located in the middle of the accommodating tank 102 along the first direction.

[0068] It can be understood that the air flow in the heating air duct 101 can be divided and enter the hot air channel 103 from the air inlets 1031 at both ends of the receiving tank 102. The hot air at both ends of the receiving tank 102 flows along the X direction toward the middle of the receiving tank 102, and flows out after converging at the air outlet 1032.

[0069] Since the hot air entering the hot air channel 103 flows from both ends to the middle, different positions of the cleaning member 20 along the X direction can be dried by the hot air entering from both ends of the accommodating groove 102, thereby improving the drying efficiency and ensuring the uniformity of drying at different positions of the cleaning member 20.

[0070] For example, the air outlet 1032 can be arranged corresponding to the central axis of the base 100. The air inlets 1031 at both ends of the accommodating tank 102 are at equal or approximately equal distances from the air outlet 1032 in the middle. In this way, the hot air at both ends has approximately the same flow path length after entering the hot air channel 103. The left and right sides of the cleaning member 20 have the same or similar drying rates, thereby improving the uniformity of drying of the cleaning member 20.

[0071] For example, there may be multiple air outlets 1032 , which may be located in the middle of the accommodating tank 102 along the X direction and spaced apart around the arc of the accommodating tank 102 to increase the air outlet area and improve the circulation efficiency of hot air.

[0072] It should be noted that since the flow direction of the hot air flow in the hot air channel 103 is the axial direction of the cleaning member 20, the hot air can penetrate the bristles of the cleaning member 20 and fully contact the bristles of the cleaning member 20. In this way, the hot air will not directly impact the main body of the cleaning member 20, thereby avoiding the rebound and loss of the hot air, improving the utilization rate of the hot air flow, and thereby improving the drying efficiency of the cleaning member 20.

[0073] In another embodiment, the air outlet 1032 and the air inlet 1031 can be respectively arranged at the two ends of the accommodating tank 102, so that the hot air can flow from one end of the accommodating tank 102 to the other end after entering the hot air channel 103, thereby extending the contact time between the hot air and the cleaning element 20.

[0074] In some embodiments, windshields 1033 may be provided on opposite sides of the receiving tank 102. The windshields 1033 extend along a first direction and, together with the walls of the receiving tank 102, form a hot air channel 103. The windshields 1033 prevent hot air from leaking from the edges of the receiving tank 102, thereby improving the efficiency of hot air utilization.

[0075] It is understood that the windshield 1033 extends along the X direction, and the length of the windshield 1033 matches the length of the accommodating groove 102. When the hot air flows in the hot air channel 103, the windshield 1033 can block and guide the airflow.

[0076] For example, the windshield portion 1033 can be an integrally formed part with the structural component forming the accommodating groove 102 on the base 100, or the baffle portion can be welded to the base 100, or the windshield portion 1033 can be connected to the base 100 by fasteners such as snaps and bolts. The embodiments of the present application do not make specific limitations on this.

[0077] For example, the windshield 1033 is a plate-shaped structure, and the windshields 1033 on opposite sides of the receiving groove 102 are windshields. The embodiment of the present application does not specifically limit the height and thickness of the windshield 1033.

[0078] It should be noted that the walls of the receiving groove 102 can be arc-shaped, and the windshield 1033 on both sides of the receiving groove 102 can protrude toward the center of the arc of the receiving groove 102, so that the top of the baffle portion can abut and cooperate with the surface of the cleaning member 20. When the cleaning device is placed on the drying base station 10, the windshield 1033 can be at least partially inserted into the bristles on the surface of the cleaning member 20, providing an effective windshield for the airflow in the hot air channel 103.

[0079] In some embodiments, a partition 1034 may be provided in the receiving tank 102 , extending along the first direction. The partition 1034 may separate the hot air channel 103 into a plurality of air guide channels 1035 , which are spaced apart and arranged between the wind shields 1033 on both sides of the receiving tank 102 .

[0080] It is understood that the divider 1034 is provided as a protrusion on the wall of the receiving tank 102, and the divider 1034 can extend along the X direction, and the length of the divider 1034 matches the length of the receiving tank 102. The divider 1034 can guide the hot air entering the receiving tank 102 to improve the smoothness of the hot air flow.

[0081] Illustratively, the partition 1034 has a plurality of comb-teeth portions 1034a, which are spaced apart along the first direction and configured to at least partially insert into the cleaning member 20. This allows hot air to enter the interior of the cleaning member 20, and the hot air flow passing through the air guide 1035 can fully contact the bristles of the cleaning member 20, thereby improving the drying efficiency of the cleaning member 20.

[0082] For example, the wall of the receiving groove 102 may be arc-shaped, and the comb teeth 1034a protrude from the wall surface of the receiving groove 102 toward the arc center of the receiving groove 102. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the specific number of the comb teeth 1034a.

[0083] In some embodiments, there may be a plurality of partitions 1034 , which are arranged in parallel and spaced apart between the wind shields 1033 on both sides of the receiving groove 102 , thereby improving the uniformity of hot air drying the cleaning element 20 .

[0084] The plurality of partitions 1034 extend along the X-direction. The plurality of partitions 1034 are spaced apart along the arc axial direction of the receiving groove 102 , and an air guide 1035 is formed between two adjacent partitions 1034 . The air guide 1035 is formed between the partitions 1034 on both sides and the wind shielding portions 1033 on both sides of the receiving groove 102 .

[0085] For example, when there is one partition 1034, the hot air duct 103 forms two air ducts 1035; when there are two partitions 1034, the hot air duct 103 forms three air ducts 1035; and when there are M partitions 1034, the hot air duct 103 forms M+1 air ducts 1035. The specific number of partitions 1034 and the specific number of air ducts 1035 are not limited in this embodiment of the application.

[0086] It should be noted that the arc angles between adjacent partitions 1034 around the circumference of the accommodating groove 102 can be equal, or the arc angles between adjacent partitions 1034 around the circumference of the accommodating groove 102 can be unequal, and the embodiments of the present application do not make specific limitations on this.

[0087] The specific structure of the heating air duct 101 is described in detail below.

[0088] Figure 5 A schematic diagram of a heating channel in a drying base station provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0089] Please refer to Figure 5 , and combined with Figures 1 to 4 In one possible implementation, the heating air duct 101 may include a first air section 1011 and a second air section 1012 that are interconnected, with the heating unit 300 disposed between the first air section 1011 and the second air section 1012. The fan 200 is located at the air inlet end of the first air section 1011 and blows air from the first air section 1011 through the heating unit 300 into the second air section 1012. The second air section 1012 is connected to the air inlet 1031 of the hot air duct 103, thereby improving airflow efficiency.

[0090] It can be understood that the fan 200 blows external cold air into the first air section 1011, the cold air flows along the first air section 1011, and enters the second air section 1012 after passing through the heating unit 300. Through the heating of the heating unit 300, the temperature of the cold air flow increases and becomes hot air. The hot air flows along the second air section 1012 and enters the hot air channel 103 of the accommodating tank 102 through the air inlet 1031.

[0091] For example, when the cleaning device is placed on the drying base station 10, it is located above the top of the drying base station 10. The heating duct 101 can be located below the base 100, with air flowing from the rear end to the front end of the base 100 within the heating duct 101. The receiving tank 102 is located above the front end of the base 100. When hot air flows to the second air section 1012, it can be guided by the side walls of the heating duct 101 and flow toward the air inlet 1031 of the hot air channel 103.

[0092] In some embodiments, a diverter plate 1013 may be provided in the first air section 1011, and the diverter plate 1013 divides the first air section 1011 into multiple flow channels 1014. The air outlet end of each flow channel 1014 is opposite to a different position in the length direction of the heating unit 300, so that the heating unit 300 can be fully utilized and the heating efficiency of the heating unit 300 on the airflow can be improved.

[0093] Illustratively, the ventilation cross-section of the first air section 1011 gradually increases from one end of the fan 200 to one end of the heating unit 300 to increase the contact area between the airflow and the heating unit 300 and improve the heating efficiency of the airflow when flowing through the heating unit 300.

[0094] Exemplarily, the heating unit 300 may be a PCT (Positive Temperature Coefficient) heating device, including but not limited to a heating tube, a heating resistance wire, etc., which is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present application.

[0095] In some embodiments, the second air segment 1012 has an air guiding wall 1015 , which is opposite to the heating unit 300 and protrudes toward the heating unit 300 .

[0096] It is understood that the airflow within the second air section 1012 can be diverted and directed to direct the hot air toward the ends of the receiving tank 102. After entering the second air section 1012, the airflow flowing from the front to the back relative to the base 100 can be diverted to the left and right sides under the guidance of the air guide wall 1015. The air inlets 1031 of the receiving tank 102 are respectively provided on the left and right sides of the base 100. As a result, the hot air can be smoothly diverted and enter the hot air channel 103 from both ends of the receiving tank 102.

[0097] It should be noted that the air guide wall 1015 can be a curved surface to reduce the impact of the hot air flow on the air guide wall 1015, thereby reducing noise and increasing the flow rate and flow of the air flow.

[0098] The specific structure of the base 100 is described in detail below.

[0099] Figure 6 This is a bottom schematic diagram of a drying base station provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 7 for Figure 6 Cross-sectional view in CC direction, Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram of the inclined groove wall of the drying base station provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0100] Please refer to Figures 6 to 8 , and combined with Figures 1 to 5 In one possible implementation, the base 100 may include a first shell 110, a second shell 120 and a support member 130. The first shell 110 and the second shell 120 are connected and enclosed to form a heating air duct 101. The support member 130 is located at the top of the base 100 and is used to form a receiving groove 102.

[0101] It is understood that the hot air channel 103 is located above the heating duct 101, making full use of the space on the base 100 and improving the compactness of the structure. The first shell 110 and the second shell 120 can be fixed by bolts, and the edges of the first shell 110 and the second shell 120 can be sealed to ensure the sealing of the heating duct 101.

[0102] Exemplarily, the first shell 110 can be located above the second shell 120, and the first shell 110 and the second shell 120 are spliced ​​up and down. The front end of the first shell 110 is provided with an avoidance area for setting the support member 130. The support member 130 is sealed and docked with the second shell 120 at the front end of the base 100, and the support member 130 is fixed to one of the first shell 110 and the second shell 120 by fasteners such as bolts.

[0103] In some embodiments, the base 100 has a water collecting tank 140 , and the air outlet 1032 of the hot air channel 103 is connected to the water collecting tank 140 . The water collecting tank 140 is located below the receiving tank 102 .

[0104] It is understood that water dripping from the cleaning element 20 can also flow into the water collection tank 140 through the air outlet 1032 of the hot air channel 103, thereby improving drying efficiency. The air outlet 1032 is located in the middle of the receiving tank 102, and water on both sides of the air outlet 1032 can flow toward the middle of the receiving tank 102 and drain into the water collection tank 140 through the air outlet 1032.

[0105] In some embodiments, the groove wall of the accommodating groove 102 is inclined relative to the horizontal direction from the air inlet 1031 to the air outlet 1032 .

[0106] It is understood that the X direction is a horizontal direction, and the bottom side wall of the receiving groove 102 is inclined relative to the X direction. The groove wall of the receiving groove 102 can guide the flow of water dripping from the cleaning member 20, preventing the cleaning member 20 from being repeatedly wetted due to water accumulation in the receiving groove 102, thereby improving the drying efficiency of the cleaning member 20 by the hot air.

[0107] For example, the specific inclination angle α of the groove wall of the accommodating groove 102 from the air inlet 1031 to the air outlet 1032 relative to the horizontal direction can be 0.1°, 1°, 2°, 5°, 10°, 20°, 30°, etc., and the embodiments of the present application do not make specific limitations on this.

[0108] It should be noted that the drying base station 10 may be provided with a sewage tank, and the sewage tank may pump the accumulated water in the sump 140 into the sewage tank through a sewage pump.

[0109] In addition, during the drying process of the cleaning member 20, the cleaning member 20 may remain stationary, or the cleaning member 20 may rotate, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present application.

[0110] An embodiment of the present application provides a cleaning device, which includes a cleaning device and the drying base station 10 in the above technical solution. The cleaning member 20 of the cleaning device can be a roller brush, and the drying base station 10 is used to dry the roller brush.

[0111] The cleaning device includes a main unit and a floor brush, and the cleaning member 20 can be arranged on the floor brush, which is connected to the main unit. The user can operate the main unit to control the moving direction of the floor brush.

[0112] Exemplarily, the floor brush can have a dust suction function. The main unit includes a shell and a dust suction component. The dust suction component is arranged in the shell. The dust suction component can be connected to the floor brush and form suction so that dust or debris on the surface to be cleaned can be sucked in from the floor brush.

[0113] For example, the floor brush can have a wet mopping function, and the surface to be cleaned can be wet mopped by wetting the surface to be cleaned or the cleaning member 20 on the floor brush, such as a roller, a mop, etc. The suction force formed by the dust collection component can suck in the sewage generated by the floor brush during the wet mopping process.

[0114] An embodiment of the present application provides a drying base station and a cleaning device, wherein the drying base station is used to dry the cleaning parts on the cleaning device. The drying base station includes a base, a fan and a heating unit. The base has a heating air duct. The fan is configured to blow air into the heating air duct. The heating unit is arranged in the heating air duct. The top of the base has a receiving groove. When the cleaning device is placed on the drying base station, the cleaning parts are at least partially located in the receiving groove. The receiving groove has a hot air channel, which extends along a first direction. The air inlet of the hot air channel is located at the end of the receiving groove along the first direction. The air inlet is connected to the heating air duct. The hot air blown along the hot air channel can fully contact the cleaning parts located in the receiving groove, thereby increasing the contact time and contact area between the hot air and the cleaning parts, and improving the drying efficiency of the drying base station on the cleaning parts of the cleaning device.
