The embodiments described below by referring to the drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present utility model and should not be construed as a limitation to the present utility model.
[0039] In the description of the present utility model, it should be understood that the orientation descriptions such as left and right refer to the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings. It is only for the convenience of describing the present utility model and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and thus should not be construed as a limitation to the present utility model.
[0040] In the description of the present utility model, if the first and second are described only for the purpose of distinguishing technical features, it should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the quantity of the indicated technical features or implicitly indicating the sequence of the indicated technical features.
[0041] In the description of the present utility model, unless otherwise clearly defined, words such as setting, installing, and connecting should be understood in a broad sense. Those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meanings of the above words in the present utility model in combination with the specific content of the technical solution.
[0042] The currently popular cleaning base stations supporting cleaning robots are all full-function cleaning base stations. In addition to charging the host, they generally also have functions such as dust collection, adding water to the host, and drying the mop. Dust collection requires setting a dust collection chamber, a dust collection fan, and corresponding pipelines on the cleaning base station. There is a dust bag or a dust cup in the dust collection chamber. After the dust collection fan is started, a negative pressure is generated to suck the garbage in the host dust box into the dust bag or dust cup in the dust collection chamber. When the cleaning robot is working, there may be some residual water on the ground. This residual water will be brought into the dust box during the dust collection of the roller brush. Then, when the robot enters the base station for dust collection, this moisture is sucked into the dust bag or dust cup in the dust collection chamber. Since the dust collection chamber is almost an enclosed space, in the presence of moisture, an unpleasant odor will be generated, causing discomfort to users.
[0043] To this end, the present utility model proposes a cleaning base station 100 to solve the problem that the dust collection chamber 310 of the cleaning base station 100 generates an unpleasant odor due to the presence of moisture.
[0044] Referring to Figures 1 to 6 , the cleaning base station 100 provided by the embodiment of the present utility model includes a chamber 110, a main body 120, and a heating mechanism 200.
[0045] Specifically, the cleaning base station 100 includes a main body 120. The lower part of the main body 120 is arranged in the chamber 110. The chamber 110 is used to accommodate the cleaning robot. A cleaning tray 140 is provided on the chamber 110 in the chamber 110. The cleaning tray 140 is used to clean the mopping part of the cleaning robot. The main body 120 is the main component of the cleaning base station 100. The main body 120 can have functions such as power-on, water supply, water storage, and drainage, so as to provide necessary services for the cleaning robot.
[0046] The chamber 110 is used to accommodate the cleaning robot. The cleaning robot can enter the cleaning base station or be located outside the cleaning base station. In other words, the cleaning robot can be accommodated in the chamber 110. Or rather, the bottom of the chamber 110 can support the cleaning robot, and the cleaning robot can also be removed from the chamber 110. The bottom of the chamber 110 can be in a regular shape, such as including a flat plane, a groove, or an irregular shape. After the cleaning robot enters the base station, it can stay in the chamber 110. A structure for limiting the cleaning robot can be provided on the side or bottom of the chamber 110, so that the cleaning robot can be parked in a suitable position for the base station to perform operations such as charging and cleaning on the cleaning robot.
[0047] The cleaning robot can be a robot with functions such as sweeping and mopping the floor. The cleaning base station 100 can be used to clean the cleaning robot or provide functions such as charging for the cleaning robot. The cleaning base station 100 can also clean the mopping member of the cleaning robot by flushing with a cleaning agent. When cleaning the mopping member, the cleaning agent can be sprayed onto the mopping member of the cleaning robot with a certain pressure, and along with the rotation of the mopping member, the mopping member contacts the protruding portion on the cleaning disk 140, thereby realizing the all-round cleaning of the mopping member.
[0048] Referring to Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , the dust collection part 300 is arranged in the main body 120. The dust collection part 300 has a dust collection cavity 310. A heating air duct opening 320 is provided on the wall of the dust collection part 300, and the heating air duct opening 320 communicates with the dust collection cavity 310. A dust bag or a dust cup can be arranged in the dust collection cavity 310, and the dust bag or the dust cup is used to collect the dust from the dust box of the cleaning robot, so as to empty the dust box of the cleaning robot, facilitating the next cleaning operation of the cleaning robot.
[0049] A hot air duct is arranged in the main body 120, and the hot air duct can be selectively communicated with the chamber 110 and / or the dust collection cavity 310. That is to say, through the control of the control member, the hot air duct can be only communicated with the chamber 110 alone, or only communicated with the dust collection cavity 310 alone, or also communicated with the chamber 110 and the dust collection cavity 310 at the same time. Thus, the cleaning base station 100 of the present utility model dries the dust collection cavity 310 with the hot air conveyed through the hot air duct to eliminate the moisture in the dust collection cavity 310, avoiding the problem that the dust collection cavity 310 generates an unpleasant odor due to the presence of moisture, and improving the comfort of user use.
[0050] It can be understood that the hot air conveyed by the hot air duct can be generated by the heating mechanism 200, and the heating mechanism 200 can be independently arranged. Specifically, it includes a heating fan 210, a heating component 220, a hot air duct member and a valve 260. The hot air duct member includes a first duct member 240, and the first duct member 240 has a first duct 241. One end of the first duct 241 is communicated with the hot air inlet 320, and the other end of the first duct 241 is communicated with the air outlet of the heating fan 210. When the heating fan 210 is started, the generated air flow can enter the dust collection chamber 310 along the first duct 241 and the hot air inlet 320. The heating component 220 is used to heat the air conveyed by the heating fan 210, and the heating component 220 can be arranged in the duct at the outlet of the heating fan 210. The valve 260 is used to control the opening and closing of the first duct 241. When the first duct 241 is opened, the hot air in the first duct 241 enters the dust collection chamber 310 to dry the dust collection chamber 310. Thus, the cleaning base 100 of the present utility model dries the dust collection chamber 310 by the hot air generated by the heating mechanism 200 to eliminate the moisture in the dust collection chamber 310, avoiding the problem of unpleasant odor generated in the dust collection chamber 310 due to the presence of moisture, and improving the comfort of user use.
[0051] Refer to Figure 3 、 Figure 4 It can be understood that in some embodiments, the hot air duct member further includes a second duct member 250. The second duct member 250 has a second duct 251, and the second duct 251 is communicated with the air outlet of the heating fan 210. The hot air in the second duct 251 is used to dry the mopping member of the cleaning robot in the chamber 110.
[0052] Specifically, the hot air duct components of the heating mechanism 200 include a main duct component 230, a first duct component 240, and a second duct component 250. The main duct component 230 has a main duct 231. The main duct component 230 is connected to the air outlet end of the heating fan 210, and the main duct 231 communicates with the air outlet of the heating fan 210. The first duct 241 and the second duct 251 communicate with the main duct 231. The second duct 251 communicates with the chamber 110. The main duct 231, the first duct 241, and the second duct 251 form a hot air duct, and the heating assembly 220 is disposed in the main duct 231. In other words, two duct branches, namely the first duct 241 and the second duct 251, are connected to the main duct 231. The hot air in the duct branch where the first duct 241 is located is conveyed to the dust collection chamber 310 to dry the dust collection chamber 310, and the hot air in the duct branch where the second duct 251 is located is conveyed to the chamber 110 to dry the mopping member of the cleaning robot. Thus, the utility model makes full use of the original heating device for the mopping member of the cleaning robot in the chamber 110. Only a duct branch needs to be added to the duct of the original heating device to convey part of the hot air generated by the original heating device to the dust collection chamber 310, and the opening and closing of the duct branch, i.e., the first duct 241, are controlled by the valve 260, so as to achieve the purpose of drying the dust collection chamber 310. When the cleaning base station 100 of the utility model dries the mopping member of the cleaning robot, it can simultaneously dry the dust collection chamber 310, achieving the purpose of synchronously drying the dust collection chamber 310 through simple structural optimization, and effectively solving the user pain point of the peculiar smell in the dust collection chamber 310 with only a very small increase in cost, which is both economical and practical and can enhance the competitiveness of the product.
[0053] It can be understood that the heating assembly 220 can adopt common heating structures such as an electric heater and an infrared heating device, which are not limited herein.
[0054] It should be noted that different heating mechanisms 200 can also be used for drying the mopping member of the cleaning robot and the dust collection chamber 310. That is, the drying of the mopping member of the cleaning robot and the dust collection chamber 310 can be completed by two sets of independent heating mechanisms 200 that do not interfere with each other. The first duct component 240 and the second duct component 250 adopt a split structure, which is not limited herein.
[0055] It can be understood that in order to achieve the purpose of dust collection in the dust collection chamber 310, a dust collection device needs to be provided in the main body 120. Refer to Figure 3 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6, a dust collection fan is provided inside the main body 120. A first suction port 330 and a second suction port 340 are provided on the wall of the dust collection part 300. The first suction port 330 and the second suction port 340 are arranged on two opposite side walls of the dust collection cavity 310, and both the first suction port 330 and the second suction port 340 communicate with the dust collection cavity 310. Among them, the first suction port 330 is communicated with the inlet of the dust collection fan through a pipeline, and the second suction port 340 is used to communicate with the dust box of the cleaning robot. The open end of the dust bag or dust cup installed in the dust collection cavity 310 is docked with the second suction port 340. When dust collection is required, the dust collection fan is started, and the valve 260 on the first air duct 241 is closed. The dust collection fan sucks the air in the dust collection cavity 310 through the first suction port 330, so that a negative pressure is formed in the dust collection cavity 310. At the same time, the negative pressure generated by the dust collection fan sucks the dust in the dust box of the cleaning robot communicated with the second suction port 340, and sucks the dust in the dust box of the cleaning robot into the dust bag or dust cup, thereby emptying the dust box of the cleaning robot to facilitate the next cleaning operation of the cleaning robot.
[0056] It can be understood that the first suction port 330 and the second suction port 340 are arranged on two opposite side walls of the dust collection cavity 310. When the dust collection fan starts dust collection, it is beneficial to unfold the dust bag so that the dust in the dust box of the cleaning robot can be smoothly sucked into the dust bag.
[0057] Refer to Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 , in some embodiments, the valve 260 is rotatably arranged at the heating air duct opening 320. An elastic member 270 is provided on the valve 260. The elastic member 270 is arranged such that when the dust collection fan starts dust collection, the negative pressure generated in the dust collection cavity 310 can overcome the elastic force of the elastic member 270 to close the heating air duct opening 320 by the valve 260, and when the negative pressure disappears, the elastic force of the elastic member 270 can open the heating air duct opening 320 by the valve 260.
[0058] Specifically, in this embodiment, the valve 260 is rotatably disposed on the wall of the dust collection part 300. An elastic member 270 is provided between the valve 260 and the dust collection part 300. When the air pressure in the dust collection chamber 310 is in a normal state, the valve 260 can be opened by the elastic force of the elastic member 270, so that the first air duct 241 is kept in communication with the hot air duct opening 320. The hot air generated by the heating mechanism 200 can enter the dust collection chamber 310 through the first air duct 241 and the hot air duct opening 320 to achieve the purpose of drying the dust collection chamber 310. When starting the dust collection fan for dust collection, a negative pressure is formed in the dust collection chamber 310, and the generated negative pressure can overcome the elastic force of the elastic member 270, so that the valve 260 seals the hot air duct opening 320, thereby disconnecting the dust collection chamber 310 from the first air duct 241 and preventing the air in the first air duct 241 from entering the dust collection chamber 310 during the dust collection operation, so as to avoid power loss of the dust collection fan and ensure the dust collection efficiency.
[0059] Refer to Figure 9 , Figure 10 , in some embodiments, the valve 260 includes a body 261 and a rotating shaft 262 connected to the body 261. The rotating shaft 262 is fixedly connected to the body 261. In this embodiment, the rotating shaft 262 and the body 261 are of an integral structure. An installation member 353 is provided on the wall of the dust collection part 300. Both ends of the rotating shaft 262 are inserted into the installation member 353, and the rotating shaft 262 can rotate relative to the installation member 353 around the axis of the rotating shaft 262. The elastic member 270 is wound around the rotating shaft 262. In this embodiment, the elastic member 270 is a torsion spring. One end of the elastic member 270 is connected to the body 261, and the other end abuts against the wall of the dust collection part 300. When the air pressure in the dust collection chamber 310 is in a normal state, that is, at normal pressure, the rotating shaft 262 of the valve 260 can rotate relative to the installation member 353 by the elastic force of the elastic member 270, thereby opening the valve 260 and keeping the first air duct 241 in communication with the hot air duct opening 320. When starting the dust collection fan for dust collection, a negative pressure is formed in the dust collection chamber 310, and the generated negative pressure can overcome the elastic force of the elastic member 270, so that the rotating shaft 262 rotates in the opposite direction relative to the installation member 353, and the valve 260 seals the hot air duct opening 320, thereby disconnecting the dust collection chamber 310 from the first air duct 241.
[0060] It can be understood that the body 261 and the rotating shaft 262 can also adopt a split structure. When adopting a split structure, the body 261 and the rotating shaft 262 can be fixedly connected by a fixing member.
[0061] Refer to Figure 11In some embodiments, a sealing member 263 is provided on one side of the body 261 close to the heating air duct opening 320. When the valve 260 closes the heating air duct opening 320, the sealing member 263 is used to abut against the side wall of the dust collecting part 300, thereby enhancing the sealing effect of the valve 260 and avoiding air leakage at the heating air duct opening 320, so as to increase the vacuum degree of the dust collecting chamber 310 and enhance the dust collecting effect.
[0062] It is understandable that the valve 260 can also adopt other structural forms, such as a stop valve, a butterfly valve, a ball valve, etc. When using valves of these structures, the valve is installed on the pipeline where the first air duct 241 is located, and the valve is opened and closed through manual or automatic control.
[0063] It should be noted that the elastic member 270 may also be in other forms, such as a tension spring, etc., which will not be described in detail here.
[0064] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 In some embodiments, the dust collecting section 300 includes a dust collecting section main body 350 and a cover plate 360, the dust collecting chamber 310 is disposed in the dust collecting section main body 350, the cover plate 360 is installed on the dust collecting section main body 350 to close the dust collecting chamber 310, and the cover plate 360 is detachably disposed on the dust collecting section main body 350 to facilitate the loading and unloading of the dust bag or dust cup.
[0065] Specifically, the dust collecting section main body 350 is provided with a plug-in position 351 and a snap-on position 352, and the plug-in position 351 and the snap-on position 352 are arranged on opposite sides of the dust collecting section main body 350. In the present embodiment, the plug-in position 351 is arranged on the lower side of the dust collecting section main body 350, and the snap-on position 352 is arranged on the upper side of the dust collecting section 300. The back side of the cover 360 is correspondingly provided with a plug-in portion and a snap-on portion. When assembling the cover 360, the plug-in portion on the lower side of the cover 360 is inserted into the plug-in position 351, and then the snap-on portion is snapped into the corresponding snap-on position 352 to complete the assembly of the cover 360.
[0066] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 In some embodiments, the main body 120 includes a front shell 121, a rear shell 122 and an upper cover 123, which together form the main body 120. The dust collecting part 300 partially protrudes from the front shell 121, thereby facilitating the disassembly of the cover plate 360 and also facilitating the loading and unloading of the dust bag or dust cup.
[0067] The working principle of a specific embodiment of the cleaning base station 100 of the present utility model is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0068] Reference Figure 1 ,Figure 7 , Figure 8 , after the cleaning robot finishes the cleaning work, it enters the chamber 110 of the cleaning base station 100. The cleaning base station 100 limits the cleaning robot after it enters the chamber 110, and then subsequent operations such as dust collection, water replenishment, cleaning of the mopping part, drying, and charging can be carried out on the cleaning robot. At the same time, the dust collection chamber 310 can also be dried to eliminate the moisture in the dust collection chamber 310, avoid the problem of unpleasant odors generated in the dust collection chamber 310 due to the presence of moisture, and improve the comfort of user use.
[0069] Dust collection and cleaning of the mopping part can be carried out synchronously or in stages according to specific circumstances. During dust collection, the dust collection fan is started to create a negative pressure in the dust collection chamber 310. The negative pressure formed in the dust collection chamber 310 overcomes the elastic force of the elastic member 270, causing the valve 260 to close and block the heating air duct opening 320. At the same time, the negative pressure formed in the dust collection chamber 310 sucks the dust in the dust box of the cleaning robot into the dust bag or dust cup. After the dust in the dust box is completely sucked out, the dust collection fan is turned off. Under the elastic force of the elastic member 270, the valve 260 opens, and the first air duct 241 communicates with the dust collection chamber 310 through the heating air duct opening 320.
[0070] During dust collection, the cleaning work of the mopping part can be carried out synchronously. When cleaning the mopping part, the cleaning agent can be sprayed onto the mopping part of the cleaning robot at a certain pressure. Along with the rotation of the mopping part, the mopping part contacts the protrusions on the cleaning disk 140 to achieve comprehensive cleaning of the mopping part.
[0071] After dust collection and cleaning of the mopping part are completed, the heating fan 210 is started. The air flow delivered by the heating fan 210 is heated by the heating component 220. Part of the hot air is delivered to the dust collection chamber 310 through the first air duct 241 for drying the dust collection chamber 310, and the other part of the hot air is delivered to the mopping part of the cleaning robot through the second air duct 251 to dry the mopping part. Thus, when the cleaning base station 100 of the present utility model dries the mopping part of the cleaning robot, it can simultaneously dry the dust collection chamber 310. The present utility model achieves the purpose of synchronously drying the dust collection chamber 310 through simple structural optimization. Moreover, only a very small increase in cost can effectively solve the user pain point of unpleasant odors in the dust collection chamber 310, which is both economical and practical and can enhance the competitiveness of the product.
