[0006] In order to achieve the above objectives, the embodiments of the present application provide the following technical solutions:

[0007] A first aspect of an embodiment of the present application provides a base station, which is suitable for docking a cleaning device, wherein the cleaning device includes a cleaning piece; the base station includes: a base station body and a drying component arranged on the base station body; the drying component includes a first heating mechanism, and the first heating mechanism has a heat-conducting combing portion. When the cleaning device is docked on the base station body, at least part of the structure of the first heating mechanism is configured to be in direct contact with the cleaning piece, and at least part of the heat-conducting combing portion is embedded in the cleaning piece to directly transfer the heat generated by the first heating mechanism to the cleaning piece and the interior of the cleaning piece, and when the cleaning piece moves relative to the first heating mechanism, the heat-conducting combing portion is configured to comb the cleaning piece.

[0008] In the base station provided in the embodiment of the present application, a drying component is designed in the base station, the drying component includes a first heating mechanism, the first heating mechanism has a heat-conducting combing part, when the cleaning device is docked on the base station, at least part of the structure of the first heating mechanism is in direct contact with the surface of the cleaning member, at least part of the heat-conducting combing part is embedded in the cleaning member, in this way, the contact area between the first heating mechanism and the cleaning member is increased, and the heat generated by the first heating mechanism is directly conducted to the cleaning member and the interior of the cleaning member, so as to quickly evaporate the moisture on the surface and inside of the cleaning member, thereby improving the drying efficiency of the cleaning member; in addition, when the cleaning member and the first heating mechanism move relative to each other, the heat-conducting combing part can also comb the cleaning member, and the combing can improve the diffusion efficiency of the steam formed after the moisture inside the cleaning member evaporates, thereby avoiding the problem of secondary condensation of steam in the cleaning member, thereby further improving the drying efficiency of the cleaning member.

[0009] In some embodiments, the base station body has an air duct, the air duct has an air inlet end and an air outlet end, the first heating mechanism is arranged at the air outlet end, at least one of the first heating mechanism and the base station body has an air outlet connected to the air duct, and the air outlet is configured to be arranged facing the cleaning member.

[0011] In some embodiments, the air outlet is disposed on the first heating mechanism, and the air outlet and the heat-conducting combing portion are both configured to face the cleaning member.

[0014] With such arrangement, the heat generated by the heating element can be directly conducted to the cleaning element through the heat conducting element, thereby avoiding direct contact between the heating element and the cleaning element which may cause damage to the heating element and improving the drying efficiency of the cleaning element.

[0015] In some embodiments, the heat conductive member has a plurality of air outlets and a plurality of heat conductive combing parts, and the plurality of air outlets and the plurality of heat conductive combing parts are arranged at intervals on the heat conductive member.

[0016] By configuring in this way, by providing a plurality of heat-conducting combing parts and a plurality of air outlets, the contact area with the interior of the cleaning element is further increased, and the generated steam can be quickly taken away through the plurality of air outlets, so as to further improve the drying efficiency.

[0017] In some embodiments, the plurality of air outlets and the plurality of heat-conducting combing parts are alternately arranged in sequence, so that the heat-conducting combing part is located between two adjacent air outlets.

[0019] In some embodiments, the air outlet is disposed on the heat-conducting combing portion.

[0020] Such an arrangement improves the drying efficiency while increasing the structural compactness of the first heating mechanism.

[0021] In some embodiments, the heat conductive member is a heat conductive metal member.

[0022] Such an arrangement improves the heat conduction efficiency of the heat conducting member.

[0023] In some embodiments, the heat-conducting combing portion is a heat-conducting combing protrusion protruding toward one side of the cleaning member.

[0024] Such an arrangement enables the heat-conducting combing portion to be embedded in the interior of the cleaning member to heat the interior of the cleaning member and improve the drying efficiency.

The heat gathering piece defines a heat radiation zone, and when the cleaning device is docked on the base station body, the cleaning element is located in the heat radiation zone to radiate the heat gathered by the heat gathering piece to the cleaning element.

[0039] With such an arrangement, the heat generated by the first heating mechanism is gathered by the heat gathering element. On the one hand, this can avoid wasting heat from the part of the first heating mechanism that is not in direct contact with the cleaning element. On the other hand, it can increase the concentration of heat and radiate it to the cleaning element, which can further accelerate the evaporation efficiency of water on the cleaning element, thereby further improving the drying efficiency of the cleaning element.

[0040] In some embodiments, the heat collecting member is at least arranged on a side of the first heating mechanism away from the cleaning member, and a side of the heat collecting member facing the cleaning member has a heat collecting zone, which is configured to collect heat generated by the first heating mechanism away from the cleaning member.

[0041] With such arrangement, the heat on the side of the first heating mechanism away from the cleaning member can be collected by the heat collecting area, thereby avoiding the waste of heat on the side of the first heating mechanism away from the cleaning member.

In addition, the base station can also provide dust collection, water replenishment, and self-cleaning functions for cleaning parts such as roller brushes on the cleaning robot. After cleaning the cleaning parts such as roller brushes, the cleaning parts can also be dried to avoid bacterial growth and odor. However, in the related art, when drying the cleaning parts, there is a problem of low drying efficiency, which affects the user experience.

[0062] In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present application provides a base station and a cleaning system, by designing a drying component in the base station, the drying component includes a first heating mechanism, the first heating mechanism has a heat-conducting combing part, when the cleaning equipment is docked on the base station, at least part of the structure of the first heating mechanism is in direct contact with the surface of the cleaning member, at least part of the heat-conducting combing part is embedded in the cleaning member, in this way, the contact area between the first heating mechanism and the cleaning member is increased, and the heat generated by the first heating mechanism is directly conducted to the cleaning member and the interior of the cleaning member, so as to quickly evaporate the moisture on the surface and inside of the cleaning member, thereby improving the drying efficiency of the cleaning member; in addition, when the cleaning member and the first heating mechanism move relative to each other, the heat-conducting combing part can also comb the cleaning member, and the combing can improve the diffusion efficiency of the steam formed after the moisture inside the cleaning member evaporates, thereby avoiding the problem of secondary condensation of steam in the cleaning member, thereby further improving the drying efficiency of the cleaning member.

[0063] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the embodiments of the present application more obvious and understandable, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work belong to the scope of protection of this application.

[0064] Please refer to Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a base station 10, which is suitable for docking a cleaning device 300, wherein the cleaning device 300 includes but is not limited to a floor scrubber, an automatic cleaning robot, etc., for cleaning, for example, the floor. The cleaning device 300 will be described below as a floor scrubber as an example.

[0065] The cleaning device 300 includes a device body and a cleaning member 310 disposed on the device body. The cleaning member 310 includes but is not limited to a roller brush, etc. The cleaning member 310 is used to clean the floor, desktop, etc. to be cleaned. Exemplarily, when the cleaning device 300 cleans the floor, the cleaning member 310 can wet mop or dry mop the floor. After the cleaning is completed, the cleaning device 300 returns to the base station 10. The base station 10 can have a function of automatically cleaning the cleaning member 310 to keep the cleaning member 310 clean; however, the cleaning member 310 after cleaning is wet and contains a large amount of water. In order to prevent the cleaning member 310 from being in a wet state for a long time, which is easy to breed bacteria and produce odor, etc., in the embodiment of the present application, the base station 10 is also provided with a drying component 200 for drying the cleaning member 310, so that the cleaning member 310 can be quickly dried after being cleaned, thereby improving the user's experience.

[0066] The base station 10 provided in the embodiment of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0067] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the base station 10 provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a base station body 100 and a drying component 200 arranged on the base station body 100; wherein, a docking position 130 for the cleaning device 300 to dock is provided on the base station body 100. When the cleaning device 300 is docked at the docking position 130, the cleaning member 310 is arranged facing the drying component 200, so that the cleaning member 310 after cleaning is dried by the drying component 200, so that the cleaning member 310 can be dried quickly, avoiding the problems of bacteria breeding and odor generation due to moisture of the cleaning member 310, thereby improving the user experience.

[0068] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 As shown, the drying component 200 includes a first heating mechanism 210. When the cleaning device 300 is docked on the base station body 100, at least part of the structure of the first heating mechanism 210 is configured to be in direct contact with the cleaning member 310 so as to directly conduct the heat generated by the first heating mechanism 210 to the cleaning member 310 to avoid heat loss and increase the contact area with the cleaning member 310, thereby improving the drying efficiency of the first heating mechanism 210 on the cleaning member 310.

[0069] It can be understood that the first heating mechanism 210 has a heating element that can generate heat. The heating element 211 is, for example, a structure that can generate heat when powered on. Exemplarily, the heating element 211 can be a resistive heating element 211, an infrared heating element 211, an induction heating element 211 or other structures that can generate heat, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0070] In order to further improve the drying efficiency of the cleaning member 310, in some embodiments, the first heating mechanism 210 has a heat-conducting combing portion 213, wherein, when the cleaning device 300 is docked at the docking position 130 of the base station 10, the heat-conducting combing portion 213 is arranged toward the cleaning member 310, and at least a portion of the heat-conducting combing portion 213 is embedded in the cleaning member 310, so that the heat generated by the first heating mechanism 210 can be directly conducted to the interior of the cleaning member 310 through the heat-conducting combing portion 213, thereby increasing the contact area with the cleaning member 310, and the interior of the cleaning member 310 can be heated by the heat conducted by the heat-conducting combing portion 213, so that the moisture on the surface and inside of the cleaning member 310 can be evaporated at the same time, thereby improving the moisture evaporation efficiency of the cleaning member 310, and further improving the drying efficiency of the cleaning member 310.

[0071] In some embodiments, the portion of the first heating mechanism 210 that is in direct contact with the surface of the cleaning member 310 may be a structure that matches the contour structure of the cleaning member 310. Figure 2 In the embodiment, the contour structure of the cleaning member 310 facing the first heating mechanism 210 is an arc-shaped structure, and the contour structure of the first heating mechanism 210 in direct contact with the cleaning member 310 is an arc structure matching the cleaning member 310. In this way, the contact area of ​​the first heating mechanism 210 in direct contact with the cleaning member 310 can be increased, so as to improve the heat conduction efficiency, thereby improving the drying efficiency of the cleaning member 310.

[0072] When the cleaning device 300 is docked on the base station 10 for cleaning or drying, the cleaning member 310 can rotate relative to the device body, so that different parts of the cleaning member 310 can be cleaned or dried to improve the uniformity of cleaning or drying of the cleaning member 310.

[0073] By arranging a heat-conducting combing portion 213 on the side of the first heating mechanism 210 facing the cleaning member 310, when the cleaning device 300 is docked on the base station 10 and rotated relative to the device body, at least a part of the structure of the heat-conducting combing portion 213 is embedded in the cleaning member 310 and has relative movement with the cleaning member 310, so that the heat-conducting combing portion 213 can comb the cleaning member 310. During the combing process, the volatilization degree of the steam generated in the cleaning member 310 can be increased, thereby avoiding the problem of secondary condensation of steam in the cleaning member 310, and further improving the drying efficiency of the cleaning member 310.

[0074] In some embodiments, the heat-conductive combing portion 213 can be a heat-conductive combing protrusion arranged on the side of the first heating mechanism 210 facing the cleaning member 310. The heat-conductive combing protrusion can be, for example, a protrusion structure with a cross-section of a circle, an ellipse, a rectangle, a trapezoid, a triangle or any other shape. As long as it can be embedded in the cleaning member 310 and can comb the cleaning member 310 when it moves relative to the cleaning member 310, there is no limitation here.

[0075] It can be seen that in the embodiment of the present application, a drying component 200 is designed in the base station 10, and the drying component 200 includes a first heating mechanism 210, and the first heating mechanism 210 has a heat-conducting combing portion 213. When the cleaning device 300 is docked on the base station 10, at least part of the structure of the first heating mechanism 210 is in direct contact with the surface of the cleaning member 310, and at least part of the heat-conducting combing portion 213 is embedded in the cleaning member 310. In this way, the contact area between the first heating mechanism 210 and the cleaning member 310 is increased, and the heat generated by the first heating mechanism 210 is The heat is directly conducted to the cleaning member 310 and the interior of the cleaning member 310 to quickly evaporate the moisture on the surface and inside of the cleaning member 310, thereby improving the drying efficiency of the cleaning member 310; in addition, when the cleaning member 310 and the first heating mechanism 210 move relative to each other, the heat-conducting combing portion 213 can also comb the cleaning member 310, and the combing process can improve the diffusion efficiency of the steam formed after the moisture inside the cleaning member 310 evaporates, thereby avoiding the problem of secondary condensation of steam in the cleaning member 310, thereby further improving the drying efficiency of the cleaning member 310.

[0076] In some embodiments, the base station body 100 has an air duct 110, and the air duct 110 has an air inlet end and an air outlet end. It can be understood that the air inlet end has an air inlet 120 for external air flow to enter the air duct 110, and the first heating mechanism 210 is arranged at the air outlet end. At least one of the first heating mechanism 210 and the base station body 100 has an air outlet 214 connected to the air duct 110, and the air outlet 214 is configured to be arranged facing the cleaning member 310. In this way, the airflow flowing into the air duct 110 can be blown toward the cleaning member 310 through the air outlet 214, so as to quickly blow away or take away the steam generated in the cleaning member 310, thereby improving the diffusion efficiency of the steam, avoiding secondary condensation of the steam formed after heating, and further improving the drying efficiency of the cleaning member 310.

[0077] For example, Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the parking position 130 for docking the cleaning device 300 can be set on the base station body 100, the air duct 110 is located in the base station body 100 and below the parking position 130, the first heating mechanism 210 is arranged at the air outlet end of the air duct 110 and at a position corresponding to the cleaning member 310, and the air outlet 214 is connected to the air duct 110 and faces the cleaning member 310, so that the cleaning member 310 can be dried together by the wind blown out by the air outlet 214 and the heat conducted to the cleaning member 310 by the first heating mechanism 210, so as to improve the drying efficiency.

[0078] In some embodiments, the air outlet 214 can be disposed on the base station body 100 and disposed on the side of the base station body 100 facing the cleaning member 310, as long as the steam formed in the cleaning member 310 can be quickly taken away to increase the diffusion rate of the steam.

[0079] In other embodiments, the air outlet 214 is disposed on the first heating mechanism 210, and the air outlet 214 and the heat-conducting combing portion 213 are both configured to face the cleaning member 310. In this way, the steam generated during cleaning can be quickly taken away at a short distance by the wind provided by the air outlet 214, thereby avoiding secondary condensation of the steam and further improving the drying efficiency.

[0080] In some embodiments, the first heating mechanism 210 includes a heating element 211 and a heat-conducting element 212, and the heat-conducting combing portion 213 and the air outlet 214 are both arranged on the heat-conducting element 212. At least part of the structure of the heat-conducting element 212 is configured to directly contact the cleaning element 310 to transfer the heat generated by the heating element 211 to the cleaning element 310. In this way, the heat generated by the heating element 211 can be directly conducted to the cleaning element 310 through the heat-conducting element 212, thereby avoiding direct contact between the heating element 211 and the cleaning element 310 to cause damage to the heating element 211, while improving the drying efficiency of the cleaning element 310.

[0081] It can be understood that the heat conductor 212 can be used to conduct the heat generated by the heating element so as to directly conduct the heat generated by the heating element to the cleaning element 310, so as to heat and dry the surface and interior of the cleaning element 310 through the heat generated by the heating element, so as to improve the drying efficiency of the cleaning element 310.

[0082] In some embodiments, the heating element 211 can be arranged outside the heat conductive element 212, and the heating element 211 can be in direct contact, indirect contact, or not in contact with the heat conductive element 212, as long as the heat generated by the heating element 211 can be conducted to the cleaning element 310 through the heat conductive element 212, without any limitation.

[0083] In other embodiments, the heating element 211 can be arranged inside the heat-conducting element 212, that is, the heat-conducting element 212 is at least arranged around the outer peripheral side of the heating element 211. In this way, the heat-conducting element 212 can not only directly conduct the heat generated by the heating element 211 to the cleaning element 310, but also protect the heating element 211 through the heat-conducting element 212 to prevent the heating element 211 from being damaged by being touched. In addition, the heat-conducting element 212 is arranged around the outer peripheral side of the heating element 211, which can also prevent the waste of heat generated by the heating element 211, so as to transfer as much heat as possible to the cleaning element 310 through the heat-conducting element 212, so as to improve the efficiency of drying the cleaning element 310.

[0084] Exemplarily, the heat conductive member 212 is a heat conductive metal member made of a metal heat conductive material with good thermal conductivity. For example, the heat conductive member 212 can be made of aluminum, aluminum alloy, copper and other materials. As long as it can quickly transfer heat to the cleaning member 310, there is no limitation here.

[0085] In some embodiments, Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the heat-conducting member 212 includes a heat-conducting upper cover 2121 and a heat-conducting lower cover 2122, the heating member 211 is arranged between the heat-conducting upper cover 2121 and the heat-conducting lower cover 2122, and the heat-conducting lower cover 2122 is arranged facing the cleaning member 310, the heat-conducting combing portion 213 is arranged on the heat-conducting lower cover 2122, and the air outlet 214 passes through the heat-conducting lower cover 2122 and the heat-conducting upper cover 2121 and is connected to the air duct 110, so that the heat-conducting upper cover 2121 and the heat-conducting lower cover 2122 can protect the heating member 211 to avoid the problem that the heating member 211 is not able to generate heat due to being touched, thereby improving the safety and reliability of the heating member 211, and at the same time, the heat generated by the heating member 211 can also be gathered between the heat-conducting upper cover 2121 and the heat-conducting lower cover 2122, and transmitted to the cleaning member 310 through the heat-conducting lower cover 2122, so as to accelerate the drying efficiency of the cleaning member 310.

[0086] Exemplarily, as shown in FIG5 , the heat-conducting lower cover 2122 is in direct contact with the cleaning member 310 , and a heat-insulating layer may be provided on the heat-conducting upper cover 2121 to prevent the heat generated by the heating member 211 from being lost through the heat-conducting upper cover 2121 .

[0087] In some embodiments, the contour of the side of the heat-conductive lower cover 2122 facing the cleaning member 310 matches the contour of the cleaning member 310. For example, if the contour of the cleaning member 310 facing the heat-conductive lower cover 2122 is arc-shaped, then the contour of the heat-conductive lower cover 2122 facing the cleaning member 310 is an arc-shaped shape that matches the cleaning member 310. In this way, the area of ​​direct contact between the heat-conductive lower cover 2122 and the cleaning member 310 can be increased, thereby improving the drying efficiency of the cleaning member 310.

[0088] In some embodiments, the heat-conducting upper cover 2121 and the heat-conducting lower cover 2122 can be detachably connected by threaded connectors, snap connectors, etc., so as to facilitate the repair, maintenance and replacement of the heating element 211.

[0089] In other embodiments, Figure 5 As shown in , the heat-conducting upper cover 2121, the heat-generating element 211 and the heat-conducting lower cover 2122 can be formed into an integrated structure by an integrated molding process such as die casting, thus reducing the installation process of the first heating mechanism 210 and thus reducing the process cost.

[0090] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 As shown, the drying component 200 also includes a temperature control unit 240, which is connected to the first heating mechanism 210. The temperature control unit 240 is configured to change the heating state of the first heating mechanism 210 so that the first heating mechanism 210 can adjust the heating state according to specific needs to enhance the user experience.

[0091] Exemplarily, the temperature control unit 240 is, for example, disposed on the outer wall surface of the first heating mechanism 210, for example, Figure 5 In the embodiment, the temperature control unit 240 is disposed on the outer wall surface of the heat-conducting upper cover 2121 and is connected to the heating element 211 to control the temperature, switch, etc. of the heating element 211.

[0092] Among them, the heating state of the first heating mechanism 210 includes the switch of the first heating mechanism 210 generating heat, the adjustment of temperature, etc. For example, the first heating mechanism 210 includes a heating element, and the temperature control unit 240 is used to control the opening and closing of the heating element, the temperature adjustment, etc.

[0093] As an example, the temperature control unit 240 may be connected to the heating element signal, so that the temperature, switch and other states of the heating element may be adjusted by sending a signal to the heating element through the temperature control unit 240.

[0094] As another example, the temperature control unit 240 may be mechanically connected to the heating element, so that the temperature control unit 240 can realize the switching of the heating element, the adjustment of the temperature, etc. by mechanical driving.

[0095] Exemplarily, the temperature control unit 240 includes but is not limited to a temperature control switch, etc., as long as it can adjust the temperature of the heating element and turn the heating element on and off.

[0096] In some embodiments, Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown in the figure, the heat conductive member 212 is provided with a plurality of air outlets 214 and a plurality of heat conductive combing portions 213, and the plurality of air outlets 214 and the plurality of heat conductive combing portions 213 are arranged at intervals on the heat conductive member 212. It can be understood that by arranging a plurality of heat conductive combing portions 213 and a plurality of air outlets 214, the contact area with the interior of the cleaning member 310 is further increased, and the generated steam can be quickly taken away through the plurality of air outlets 214, so as to further improve the drying efficiency.

[0097] It can be understood that by providing a plurality of heat-conducting combing parts 213 arranged at intervals, when the plurality of heat-conducting combing parts 213 are embedded in the cleaning member 310, the gaps between the plurality of heat-conducting combing parts 213 can allow the moisture in the cleaning member 310 to be transformed into steam and then be dissipated outward from the gaps, and through the plurality of air outlets 214, the surrounding steam can be taken away quickly and at a close distance by the flow of air, so as to reduce the steam in the cleaning member 310 and avoid the problem of secondary condensation caused by the accumulation of a large amount of steam in the cleaning member 310; and by providing a plurality of air outlets 214,

[0098] In some embodiments, the plurality of air outlets 214 and the plurality of heat-conducting combing parts 213 are alternately arranged in sequence, so that the heat-conducting combing part 213 is located between two adjacent air outlets 214; for example, in Figure 6 In the figure, a plurality of air outlets 214 and a plurality of heat-conductive combing parts 213 are alternately arranged in sequence on the heat-conductive lower cover 2122 along at least one direction of the length and width of the heat-conductive lower cover 2122, that is, a heat-conductive combing part 213 is arranged between two adjacent air outlets 214, so that the wind blown out by the air outlet 214 can take away the steam generated by the heat-conductive combing part 213 at a close distance, so as to further improve the drying efficiency.

[0099] It is understandable that the air outlet 214 passes through the heat-conducting lower cover 2122 and the heat-conducting upper cover 2121 , so that the air outlet 214 is connected to the air duct 110 , so that the airflow in the air duct 110 can be blown out through the air outlet 214 .

[0100] In other embodiments, the air outlet 214 is arranged on the heat-conductive combing portion 213. For example, the heat-conductive combing portion 213 is a heat-conductive combing protrusion, and the air outlet 214 is arranged on the heat-conductive combing protrusion. In this way, the heat-conductive combing protrusion is embedded in the cleaning member 310 to heat the interior of the cleaning member 310, and the air outlet 214 also blows air into the cleaning member 310 at the same time, thereby improving the drying efficiency while improving the structural compactness of the first heating mechanism 210.

[0101] In some embodiments, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown in the figure, at least part of the structure of the side of the first heating mechanism 210 facing the cleaning member 310 is exposed to the surface of the base station body 100. When the cleaning device 300 leaves the base station 10, the first heating mechanism 210 quickly cools down the part exposed on the surface of the base station body 100, thereby avoiding the problem of the first heating mechanism 210 being too hot and scalding the user, thereby improving the safety and reliability of the base station 10.

[0102] In addition, in order to further improve the drying efficiency of the cleaning member 310, the drying component 200 also includes a fan 220, which is arranged in the air duct 110 to provide power for air flow movement in the air duct 110 through the fan 220, thereby increasing the wind strength of the air outlet 214 blowing toward the cleaning member 310, so that the wind blown out of the air outlet 214 can quickly carry away the surface of the cleaning member 310 and the steam generated inside the cleaning member 310 through the flowing airflow, thereby improving the drying efficiency of the cleaning member 310.

[0103] In some embodiments, Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the drying component 200 also includes at least one second heating mechanism 230, and the at least one second heating mechanism 230 is arranged in the air duct 110 and is located between the fan 220 and the first heating mechanism 210, so that at least one second heating mechanism 230 is arranged in the air duct 110, and the heat generated by the second heating mechanism 230 is used to heat the gas in the air duct 110, so that the wind blown out from the air duct 110 to the cleaning member 310 through the air outlet 214 is hot air, so as to quickly take away the moisture on the cleaning member 310, so as to further improve the drying efficiency of the cleaning member 310.

[0104] Among them, the number of second heating mechanisms 230 can be one, two or more than two. When the number of second heating mechanisms 230 is two or more, at least two second heating mechanisms 230 are arranged at intervals in the air duct 110 along the extension direction of the air duct 110. In this way, it can be ensured that the airflow in the air duct 110 is always maintained within a certain temperature threshold, so that the wind blown out of the air outlet 214 is hot air with a certain temperature, so as to accelerate the evaporation of moisture on the surface of the cleaning element 310 and inside the cleaning element 310.

[0105] For example, in Figure 1 and Figure 4 There are two second heating mechanisms 230, and the two second heating mechanisms 230 are located between the first heating mechanism 210 and the fan 220, and are spaced apart in the air duct 110; wherein, the two second heating mechanisms 230 may be heating mechanisms of the same structural form, or may be heating mechanisms of different structural forms, as long as they can heat the air in the air duct 110, and there is no limitation here.

[0106] The second heating mechanism 230 may include a heating element capable of generating heat. The heating element may be, for example, a structure that generates heat when powered on. For example, the heating element may be a resistive heating element, an infrared heating element, an induction heating element, or other structures that generate heat, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0107] In some embodiments, the drying component also includes a heat gathering piece, which is arranged on the outer peripheral side of the first heating mechanism 210. The heat gathering piece is configured to gather the heat generated by the first heating mechanism 210. The heat gathering piece defines a heat radiation zone. When the cleaning device 300 is docked on the base station body, the cleaning element 310 is located in the heat radiation zone to radiate the heat gathered by the heat gathering piece to the cleaning element 310.

[0108] That is to say, by arranging a heat gathering element on the outer peripheral side of the first heating mechanism 210, the heat gathering element can gather the heat released by the first heating mechanism to the outer peripheral side, and radiate the gathered heat to the cleaning element located in the radiation area through the radiation area. In this way, the waste of heat in the part where the first heating mechanism and the cleaning element are not in direct contact can be avoided. On the other hand, the concentration of heat can be improved and radiated to the cleaning element, which can further accelerate the evaporation efficiency of water on the cleaning element, thereby further improving the drying efficiency of the cleaning element.

[0109] Exemplarily, the heat-collecting element may be a structure such as a heat-collecting hood that can collect the heat generated by the first heating mechanism 210. For example, when the heat-generating element 211 in the first heating mechanism 210 is an infrared lamp tube, the heat-collecting element may be a spotlight for collecting the light emitted by the infrared lamp tube, and radiating the collected light directly onto the cleaning element 310 to generate strong heat to quickly evaporate the moisture in the cleaning element 310.

[0110] It can be understood that by setting the heating element 211 as an infrared lamp tube and the heat collecting element as a spotlight, the light generated by the infrared lamp tube is gathered by the spotlight and radiated directly to the cleaning element 310 to generate strong heat to evaporate moisture. This method has high heat transfer efficiency and evaporates moisture quickly, thereby improving the drying efficiency of the cleaning element 310.

[0111] In some embodiments, the heat collecting element is at least arranged on the side of the first heating mechanism 210 away from the cleaning element, and the side of the heat collecting element facing the cleaning element 310 has a heat collecting zone, and the heat collecting zone is configured to gather the heat generated by the side of the first heating mechanism 210 away from the cleaning element. In this way, the heat of the first heating mechanism away from the cleaning element can be collected by the heat collecting zone, thereby avoiding the waste of heat on the side of the first heating mechanism away from the cleaning element.

[0112] Exemplarily, the heat collection zone is an arc-shaped depression recessed toward the side away from the first heating mechanism, with the opening of the arc-shaped depression facing the cleaning member, so as to increase the concentration of heat through the arc-shaped depression, and radiate toward the cleaning member through the opening of the arc-shaped depression facing the cleaning member, so as to increase the evaporation efficiency of water on the cleaning member.

[0113] For example, the cross-sectional profile of the arc depression may be a circular arc, an elliptical arc, etc., which is not limited here.

[0114] An embodiment of the present application also provides a cleaning system, comprising a base station as provided in the above embodiment.

[0115] The structure and working principle of the base station have been described in detail in the above embodiments and will not be repeated here.

[0116] In addition, the cleaning system also includes cleaning equipment, which includes but is not limited to floor scrubbers, automatic cleaning robots, etc. For details, please refer to relevant technologies and will not be elaborated here.

[0117] The base station and cleaning system provided by the present application are designed with a drying component in the base station, wherein the drying component includes a first heating mechanism, and the first heating mechanism has a heat-conducting combing portion. When the cleaning device is docked on the base station, at least part of the structure of the first heating mechanism is in direct contact with the surface of the cleaning member, and at least part of the heat-conducting combing portion is embedded in the cleaning member. In this way, the contact area between the first heating mechanism and the cleaning member is increased, and the heat generated by the first heating mechanism is directly conducted to the cleaning member and the interior of the cleaning member, so as to quickly evaporate the moisture on the surface and inside of the cleaning member, thereby improving the drying efficiency of the cleaning member; in addition, when the cleaning member and the first heating mechanism move relative to each other, the heat-conducting combing portion can also comb the cleaning member, and the combing can improve the diffusion efficiency of the steam formed after the moisture inside the cleaning member evaporates, thereby avoiding the problem of secondary condensation of steam in the cleaning member, thereby further improving the drying efficiency of the cleaning member.
