[0046] 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.

[0047] Sweeping robots have been widely used in recent years. After the sweeping robots have worked for a certain period of time, the cleaning disk on the sweeping robots needs to be cleaned. Therefore, the base station is usually equipped with a detection device to detect the cleanliness of the water to determine the number of times the cleaning parts of the sweeping robots are cleaned. However, the amount of water in contact with the detection device in traditional technology is relatively small, especially as the base station in current technology is developing towards miniaturization. As the size of the base station decreases, the length of the pipeline 130 will be further reduced, resulting in less water being able to contact the detection device, affecting the detection accuracy, and thus resulting in incomplete or excessive cleaning of the cleaning parts.

[0048] In view of this, if Figures 1 to 7 As shown, according to the first aspect of an embodiment of the present application, a base station is proposed, comprising: a box body 120; a pipe 130, the pipe 130 being connected to the box body 120; wherein the pipe 130 comprises a conveying section 131 and a flaring section 132, and the diameter of the flaring section 132 is greater than the diameter of the conveying section 131.

[0049] like Figures 1 to 7As shown, the base station provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a box 120, a pipe 130 and a detection member 140. Among them, the pipe 130 includes a conveying section 131 and a flaring section 132, and the flaring section 132 is located between the detection member 140 and the box 120. Based on this, during the working process, the sewage generated at the cleaning disk can be recovered through the box 120, and the sewage can be supplied to the box 120 through the pipe 130. After the sewage is pumped, the sewage is refluxed through the pipe 130 under the action of gravity, and the refluxed liquid will be detected by the detection member 140. The parameters of the sewage can be obtained through the detection member 140, and then the cleaning state of the cleaning member can be determined based on the parameters of the sewage to control the continuation or stop of the cleaning. The pipeline 130 of the base station provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a flared section 132 and a conveying section 131. The conveying section 131 can be used to convey liquid, and the flared section 132 can be used to increase the reflux rate of liquid, so that more sewage can come into contact with the detection element 140, and the detection result of the detection element 140 can be more accurate, thereby ensuring the cleaning accuracy of the cleaning element. While ensuring that the cleaning element is clean, excessive cleaning can be avoided, thereby saving water and energy.

[0050] It can be understood that the base station provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a conveying section 131 and a flaring section 132 through a pipeline 130, which can reduce the volume of the base station, especially the height of the base station, which is particularly beneficial to the miniaturization of the base station, especially suitable for embedded cleaning systems.

[0051] It is understandable that, in order to facilitate the reflux of the liquid, the pipe 130 may be disposed at the bottom of the box 120 , or at least a portion of the pipe 130 may be disposed at the bottom of the box 120 .

[0052] It is understandable that the parameters of the liquid may include turbidity, density, transmittance, etc. As long as the amount of dirt in the liquid can be characterized by the parameter, the specific style of the detection element 140 is not limited in this application.

[0053] In some examples, the expanded section 132 is located between the detection member 140 and the housing 120 , so as to increase the return amount of the liquid, thereby enabling more sewage to contact the detection member 140 .

[0054] In some examples, the base station may further include a housing 110 , and a box 120 may be disposed in the housing 110 to support and fix the box 120 .

[0055] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in a feasible implementation manner, the ratio of the maximum diameter of the expansion section 132 to the maximum diameter of the conveying section 131 is greater than or equal to 2.

[0056] In this technical solution, a relationship between the diameter of the expansion section 132 and the diameter of the conveying section 131 is further provided, and the ratio of the maximum diameter of the expansion section 132 to the maximum diameter of the conveying section 131 is greater than or equal to 2. This arrangement ensures that enough water can flow back to the detection member 140.

[0057] It is understandable that if the ratio of the maximum diameter of the expansion section 132 to the maximum diameter of the conveying section 131 is less than 2, it is possible that less water contacts the detection member 140, which may affect the detection result.

[0058] In a feasible implementation, the base station may further include a detection member 140, which is disposed on the pipeline 130 and is used to detect parameters of the liquid flowing through the pipeline 130;

[0059] In a feasible implementation manner, the box body 120 is a sewage tank, and the detection component 140 includes a sewage detection module.

[0060] In this technical solution, the styles of the box body 120 and the detection element 140 are further provided. The box body 120 can be a sewage tank. Based on this, during the working process, the sewage generated at the cleaning disk can be recovered through the box body 120, and the sewage can be supplied to the sewage tank through the pipe 130. After the sewage is pumped, the sewage can flow back through the pipe 130 under the action of gravity, and the refluxed liquid will be detected by the detection element 140. The parameters of the sewage can be obtained through the detection element 140, and then the cleaning state of the cleaning element can be determined based on the parameters of the sewage to control the continuation or stop of the cleaning.

[0061] like Figure 2 As shown, in a feasible implementation manner, the base station further includes: a vacuum pumping member 150 , which is connected to the box 120 and is used to provide a negative pressure environment for the box 120 so that the liquid enters the box 120 through the pipe 130 .

[0062] In this technical solution, the base station may further include a vacuum element 150. During the operation of the base station, for example, when the cleaning element is cleaned through the base station and sewage needs to be collected, the vacuum element 150 may be turned on. The vacuum element 150 provides a negative pressure environment for the box body 120, and sewage can be absorbed under the negative pressure state. The sewage passes through the conveying section 131 and the expanding section 132, and enters the box body 120 through the sewage detection module and the expanding section 132. After the vacuum element 150 stops working, the sewage flows back to the detection element 140 under the action of gravity for detection and judgment, thereby determining the parameters of the liquid.

[0063] In this technical solution, the flared section 132 can be set on the pipe 130 which is higher than the detection member 140. After the vacuum member 150 stops working, the pipe 130 is quickly depressurized, and enough sewage will flow back to the detection member 140 under the action of gravity. The sewage liquid level can be higher than the detection member 140. In this way, the sewage with a stable liquid level can be judged more accurately, reducing the interference of bubbles during the pumping process.

[0064] In some examples, the vacuum member 150 may be a vacuum pump.

[0065] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in a feasible implementation, the pipeline 130 includes: a first pumping section 1311 , one end of the first pumping section 1311 is connected to the detection member 140 , and a bend is formed on the first pumping section 1311 so that liquid can be stored in the first pumping section 1311 .

[0066] In this technical solution, a pattern of the pipeline 130 is further provided. The pipeline 130 may include a first pumping section 1311. One end of the first pumping section 1311 is connected to the detection member 140, and the other end is used to extract sewage. When the sewage flows back, part of the sewage can be stored in the first pumping section 1311. On the one hand, based on the principle of the communicating vessel, the detection member 140 can have a certain liquid level height, so that more liquid can contact the detection member 140; on the other hand, the bent setting can store sewage, which can prevent the sewage from flowing back to the cleaning member, and ensure the cleanliness of the cleaning member after cleaning.

[0067] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in a feasible embodiment, the pipeline 130 also includes: a second pumping section 1312 and a flaring section 132, one end of the second pumping section 1312 is connected to the detection member 140, and the other end is connected to the flaring section 132; a third pumping section 1313, one end of the third pumping section 1313 is connected to the flaring section 132, and the other end is connected to the box body 120; wherein the first pumping section 1311, the second pumping section 1312 and the third pumping section 1313 are combined to form the conveying section 131.

[0068] In this technical solution, the structural composition of the pipeline 130 is further provided. The pipeline 130 can also include a second pumping section 1312, a flaring section 132 and a third pumping section 1313. The first pumping section 1311, the detection component 140, the second pumping section 1312, the flaring section 132 and the third pumping section 1313 are connected in sequence. During the process of pumping water from the box body 120, the liquid enters the box body 120 through the first pumping section 1311, the detection component 140, the second pumping section 1312, the flaring section 132 and the third pumping section 1313 in sequence. After the pumping is completed, part of the liquid can flow back to the first pumping section 1311 through the third pumping section 1313. In this process, the setting of the flaring section 132 can increase the amount of reflux water, ensure that more liquid can contact the detection component 140, and improve the detection accuracy.

[0069] In this technical solution, by providing the first pumping section 1311, the detection member 140, the second pumping section 1312 and the third pumping section 1313, it is convenient to connect the expansion section 132 and the detection member 140 to the pipeline 130, so as to facilitate the assembly and maintenance of the pipeline 130.

[0070] like Figure 7 As shown, in a feasible embodiment, the flaring section 132 includes: a flaring body 1321, the diameter of the flaring body 1321 is larger than the diameter of the conveying section 131; a connecting portion 1322, the connecting portion 1322 is arranged at both ends of the flaring body 1321, and a thread is formed on the connecting portion 1322; a transition portion 1323, the connecting portion 1322 is connected to the flaring body 1321 through the transition portion 1323; wherein the inner diameter of the transition portion 1323 gradually increases in the direction from the connecting portion 1322 to the flaring body 1321.

[0071] In the technical solution, the structure of the flared section 132 is further provided. The flared section 132 may include a flared body 1321, a connecting portion 1322 and a transition portion 1323. During the assembly process, the flared section 132 may be connected to the second pumping section 1312 and the third pumping section 1313 respectively through two connecting portions 1322. A thread is formed on the connecting portion 1322. The two connecting portions 1322 are respectively inserted into the second pumping section 1312 and the third pumping section 1313. The connecting portion 1322 and the second pumping section 1312 and the third pumping section 1313 may be interference fit. Combined with the threaded portion on the connecting portion 1322, the connection between the flared body 1321 and the second pumping section 1312 and the third pumping section 1313 is more reliable, reducing the probability of the pipeline 130 being loosened. At the same time, the split design, combined with the structural design of the flared section 132, facilitates the assembly of the pipeline 130.

[0072] In this technical solution, a transition portion 1323 is formed between the flared body 1321 and the connecting portion 1322, and the inner diameter of the transition portion 1323 gradually increases in the direction from the connecting portion 1322 to the flared body 1321. That is to say, the flared section 132 forms a spindle-shaped structure with small diameters at both ends and a large diameter in the middle, which can enable more liquid to flow back through the flared section 132, thereby allowing more liquid to contact the detection element 140, thereby improving the detection accuracy.

[0073] In a feasible implementation manner, the conveying section 131 and the expanding section 132 are an integrated structure.

[0074] In this technical solution, in addition to using a split pipe 130, the pipe 130 can also be an integrated structure, such as the conveying section 131 and the expansion section 132 are an integrated structure. In this case, only the mold needs to be designed, and the pipe 130 can be directly prepared through the injection molding process. This type of pipe 130 has higher mechanical strength and better sealing.

[0075] like Figure 4 As shown, in a feasible implementation manner, a support ear 141 is formed on the detection member 140 , and the detection member 140 is connected to the housing 110 via the support ear 141 .

[0076] In this technical solution, a lug 141 may be formed on the detection member 140, and the detection member 140 may establish a connection with the shell 110 through the lug 141, such as by passing a screw through the lug 141 and connecting it to the shell 110. Based on this, the fixation of the detection member 140 can be made more reliable. At the same time, the detection member 140 and the pipe 130 are connected, and the detection member 140 and the shell 110 are connected. This can make the fixation of the pipe 130 more reliable, reduce the jitter of the pipe 130 during pumping and liquid reflux, and make the base station quieter.

[0077] like Figures 1 to 7 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 device body, and the base station is used to accommodate the cleaning device body.

[0078] 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.

[0079] In some examples, a cleaning part is provided on the cleaning device body, and the base station may further include a ramp plate, on which a cleaning disc is provided. The cleaning part can be cleaned by injecting water into the cleaning disc and then rotating the cleaning disc. The sewage generated during the cleaning process can be pumped into the box 120 of the base station, and then the vacuum pumping part 150 of the base station is closed, and part of the liquid in the box 120 can flow back into the pipe 130. The parameters of the reflux liquid can be detected by the detection part 140 to determine the cleanliness of the reflux liquid. The cleaning status of the cleaning part can be further determined based on the cleanliness. If the cleanliness of the reflux liquid is poor, it means that the cleaning part is not cleaned properly and needs to continue cleaning. If the cleanliness of the reflux liquid is good, it means that the cleaning part is cleaned properly. In this case, cleaning can be stopped. Based on this, the cleaning system can automatically judge the cleaning status of the cleaning part, which is more convenient to use and provides a better user experience.

[0080] The base station of the cleaning system provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a housing 110, a box 120, a pipe 130 and a detection member 140. Among them, the pipe 130 includes a conveying section 131 and a flaring section 132, and the flaring section 132 is located between the detection member 140 and the box 120. Based on this, during the working process, the sewage generated at the cleaning disk can be recovered through the box 120, and the sewage can be supplied to the box 120 through the pipe 130. After the sewage is pumped, the sewage can be refluxed through the pipe 130 under the action of gravity, and the refluxed liquid will be detected by the detection member 140. The turbidity of the sewage can be known through the detection member 140, and then the cleaning state of the cleaning member can be determined based on the turbidity to control the continuation or stop of the cleaning. The pipeline 130 of the base station provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a flared section 132 and a conveying section 131. The conveying section 131 can be used to convey liquid, and the flared section 132 can be used to increase the reflux rate of liquid, so that more sewage can come into contact with the detection element 140, and the detection result of the detection element 140 can be more accurate, thereby ensuring the cleaning accuracy of the cleaning element. While ensuring that the cleaning element is clean, excessive cleaning can be avoided, thereby saving water and energy.
