[0002] A maintenance station is generally a device used for a cleaning robot to return for actions such as dumping garbage, charging, and washing a mop after completing an automatic cleaning task. At the same time, when the cleaning robot is not working, the maintenance station can also provide a parking place for the cleaning robot to enable maintenance of the cleaning robot.

[0003] In the existing maintenance station, the dust collection port and the dust outlet at the bottom of the cleaning robot are sealed by a silicone rubber with a relatively high protrusion. The silicone rubber part is easily deformed and yielded under extrusion, which will affect the sealing performance between the dust collection port and the dust outlet, causing suction leakage and ultimately affecting the dust collection rate of the maintenance station. At the same time, the deformed and yielded silicone rubber part is not conducive to the docking operation of the cleaning robot. Summary of the Utility Model

[0049] Referring to Figures 1 to 9 FIG., an embodiment of the present application provides a dust collection port assembly 100 for a maintenance station. The dust collection port assembly 100 includes a base 101, a gland 102, and a dust collection channel 103. Among them, the base 101 is arranged on the bottom plate of the maintenance station, the gland 102 is movably arranged on the base 101, the gland 102 is provided with an opening 121, and the opening 121 is arranged on the side of the gland 102 away from the base 101. The dust collection channel 103 is fixedly installed on the gland 102 and is accommodated in the accommodation space formed between the base 101 and the gland 102. The dust collection channel 103 includes a dust collection port 131 and an adapter 132. The dust collection port 131 of the dust collection channel 103 is arranged at the opening 121 of the gland 102, and the adapter 132 is arranged on the side edge of the base 101.

[0050] Specifically, as Figures 1 to 5As shown, in the dust collection port assembly 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application, the base 101 is fixedly arranged on the bottom plate of the maintenance station, and the gland 102 is movably arranged on the base 101. Therefore, the gland 101 can move relative to the base 101. In addition, the dust collection channel 103 is fixedly installed on the gland 102 and is accommodated in the accommodation space formed between the base 101 and the gland 102. The dust collection channel 103 includes a dust collection port 131 and an adapter 132. The dust collection port 131 of the dust collection channel 103 is arranged at the opening 121 of the gland 102, and the adapter 132 is arranged on the side of the base 101.

[0051] Therefore, as Figure 8 shown, when the cleaning robot does not enter the maintenance station, the gland 102 and the dust collection channel 103 are in an uncompressed state, and the dust collection port 131 of the dust collection channel 103 is arranged at the opening 121 of the gland 102. As Figure 9 shown, when the cleaning robot needs to dump garbage, the cleaning robot enters the maintenance station, and the dust outlet of the cleaning robot is docked with the dust collection port 131 of the dust collection channel 103, thereby applying pressure to the dust collection port 131. Subsequently, the dust collection channel 103 and the gland 102 are under pressure. Since the gland 102 can move relative to the base 101, after the dust collection port 131 of the dust collection channel 103 is pressed, it will move into the accommodation space between the base 101 and the gland 102. Therefore, the dust collection port 131 of the dust collection channel 103 will not be deformed and yield due to the extrusion of the cleaning robot, and the airtightness between the dust outlet of the cleaning robot and the dust collection port 131 of the dust collection channel 103 will not be affected, thereby improving the dust collection rate of the maintenance station. At the same time, the movable dust collection port 131 of the dust collection channel 103 will not obstruct the movement of the cleaning robot, facilitating the cleaning robot to move into the maintenance station.

[0052] When the cleaning robot needs to dump garbage, the cleaning robot enters the maintenance station, the dust outlet of the cleaning robot is docked with the dust collection port 131 of the dust collection channel 103, and the garbage collected in the cleaning robot can be discharged from the dust outlet of the cleaning robot, enter the dust collection channel 103 through the dust collection port 131, and finally enter the maintenance station, thereby realizing the cleaning operation of the cleaning robot.

[0053] It can be understood that the dust outlet of the cleaning robot overlaps with the dust collection port 131 of the dust collection channel 103, and the area of the dust collection port 131 is preferably larger than the area of the dust outlet of the cleaning robot, so as to ensure that the garbage collected by the cleaning robot can completely enter the dust collection port 131 and finally enter the maintenance station.

[0054] Furthermore, referring to Figure 6, in some embodiments of the present application, the dust collection port assembly 100 further includes a compression spring 104. The compression spring 104 is disposed between the base 101 and the pressing cover 102, and the extending direction of the compression spring 104 is the same as the direction of the opening 121 of the pressing cover 102.

[0055] Specifically, the compression spring 104 is elastic. It is disposed between the base 101 and the pressing cover 102, and the extending direction of the compression spring 104 is the same as the direction of the opening 121 of the pressing cover 102. Therefore, when the cleaning robot needs to dump garbage, the cleaning robot enters the maintenance station, and the dust outlet of the cleaning robot is docked with the dust collection port 131 of the dust collection channel 103, thereby applying pressure to the dust collection port 131. Subsequently, the dust collection channel 103 and the pressing cover 102 are subjected to pressure. Under the action of the pressure, the compression spring 104 will be compressed in the direction of the opening 121 of the pressing cover 102. Thus, after the dust collection port 131 of the dust collection channel 103 is pressed, it will move towards the accommodation space between the base 101 and the pressing cover 102. Therefore, the dust collection port 131 of the dust collection channel 103 will not be deformed and yield due to the extrusion of the cleaning robot, and the airtightness between the dust outlet of the cleaning robot and the dust collection port 131 of the dust collection channel 103 will not be affected, thereby improving the dust collection rate of the maintenance station. At the same time, the movable dust collection port 131 of the dust collection channel 103 will not obstruct the movement of the cleaning robot, facilitating the cleaning robot to move into the maintenance station.

[0056] In addition, as Figure 6 shown, the number of the compression springs 104 is 4. The compression springs 104 surround the dust collection channel 103, thereby being able to provide sufficient and stable elastic force to facilitate the movement of the pressing cover 102 relative to the base 101. Of course, the number of the compression springs can be less than or greater than 4, and the specific number depends on the actual situation.

[0057] Furthermore, as Figure 6 shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the dust collection port assembly 100 further includes a limit screw 105. A through hole 111 is provided on the base 101, and a screw post 122 is provided on the side of the pressing cover 102 facing the base 101. The limit screw 105 passes through the through hole 111 on the base 101 and is installed on the screw post 122 of the pressing cover 102.

[0058] As mentioned above, a compression spring 104 is provided between the base 101 and the pressure cover 102. The compression spring 104 is elastic. Therefore, when the cleaning robot needs to dump garbage, the cleaning robot enters the maintenance station, and the dust outlet of the cleaning robot docks with the dust collecting port 131 of the dust collecting channel 103, thereby applying pressure to the dust collecting port 131, and then the dust collecting channel 103 and the pressure cover 102 are subjected to pressure. Under the action of pressure, the compression spring 104 will be compressed in the direction of the opening 121 of the pressure cover 102, so that after the dust collecting port 131 of the dust collecting channel 103 is compressed, it will move into the accommodation space between the base 101 and the pressure cover 102. The dust collection port assembly 100 also includes a limiting screw 105, a through hole 111 is provided on the base 101, and a screw column 122 is provided on the side of the pressure cover 102 facing the base 101. The limiting screw 105 passes through the through hole 111 on the base 101 and is installed on the screw column 122 of the pressure cover 102. The function of the limiting screw 105 is to limit the movement range of the dust collection channel 103 and / or the pressure cover 102, thereby ensuring that the movement range of the dust collection port 131 of the dust collection channel 103 can meet the working requirements.

[0059] It should be noted that the limit screw 105 is preferably a pion screw, and the brim of the pion screw is arranged on the side of the base 101 away from the pressure cover 102, so as to limit the movement range of the compression spring 104, the dust collection channel 103 and / or the pressure cover 102.

[0060] Further, refer to Figures 1 to 7 In some embodiments of the present application, the dust collection channel 103 is an elastic member.

[0061] Specifically, the dust collecting channel 103 is usually made of elastic materials such as silica gel, preferably a thin-walled soft rubber part. Therefore, when the cleaning robot needs to dump garbage, the cleaning robot enters the maintenance station, and the dust outlet of the cleaning robot docks with the dust collecting port 131 of the dust collecting channel 103, thereby applying pressure to the dust collecting port 131, and then the dust collecting channel 103 and the gland 102 are subjected to pressure, and the compression spring 104 will be compressed in the direction of the opening 121 of the gland 102 under the action of pressure, so that the dust collecting port 131 of the dust collecting channel 103 will move toward the accommodation space between the base 101 and the gland 102 after being compressed. The dust collecting port 131 of the dust collecting channel 103 made of elastic material can be closely matched with the dust outlet of the cleaning robot under pressure, thereby improving the sealing between the two. At the same time, the dust collecting port 131 of the elastic dust collecting channel 103 will not hinder the movement of the cleaning robot, thereby facilitating the cleaning robot to move to the maintenance station.

[0062] Further, refer again to Figures 1 to 3, in some embodiments of the present application, the dust collection port assembly 100 further includes a transfer channel 106. The transfer channel 106 includes an adapter 161 and a docking port 162. The adapter 161 extends and snaps into the transfer port 132 of the dust collection channel 103, and the docking port 162 is docked with the dust extraction port of the maintenance station. The adapter 161 is an elastic member.

[0063] Specifically, the function of the transfer channel 106 is to connect the dust collection channel 103 with the dust extraction port of the maintenance station. The transfer channel 106 includes an adapter 161 and a docking port 162. The adapter 161 extends and snaps into the transfer port 132 of the dust collection channel 103, and the docking port 162 is docked with the dust extraction port of the maintenance station. When the cleaning robot needs to empty the garbage, the cleaning robot enters the maintenance station, the dust outlet of the cleaning robot is docked with the dust collection port 131 of the dust collection channel 103, and the garbage collected in the cleaning robot can be discharged from the dust outlet of the cleaning robot, enter the dust collection channel 103 through the dust collection port 131, and enter the maintenance station through the transfer channel 106, thereby realizing the cleaning operation of the cleaning robot.

[0064] In addition, the adapter 161 of the transfer channel 106 is usually made of an elastic material, such as silicone, etc. Therefore, when the dust collection channel 103 is pressed and moves up and down, the adapter 161 will not form an obstacle. In some embodiments of the present application, the part of the transfer port 132 of the dust collection channel 103 where the adapter 161 is installed is made of a soft rubber material, and the adapter 161 is made of a hard rubber material, so as not to form an obstacle to the up and down movement of the dust collection channel 103. At the same time, the adapter 161 made of hard rubber material will not be deformed by the suction force of the transfer channel 106, so as not to block the transfer channel 106.

[0065] Further, referring to Figures 1 to 4 , in some embodiments of the present application, the opening direction of the dust collection port 131 of the dust collection channel 103 is perpendicular to the opening direction of the transfer port 132 of the dust collection channel 103, and the extending direction of the adapter 161 of the transfer channel 106 is perpendicular to the opening direction of the docking port 162 of the transfer channel 106.

[0066] Specifically, as Figures 1 to 4As shown in the figure, both the dust collection channel 103 and the transfer channel 106 are L-shaped. The dust collection port 131 of the dust collection channel 103 is docked with the dust outlet of the cleaning robot. The adapter port 132 of the dust collection channel 103 is docked with the adapter joint 161 of the transfer channel 106, and the docking port 162 of the transfer channel 106 is docked with the dust extraction port of the maintenance station. When the cleaning robot needs to dump garbage, the cleaning robot enters the maintenance station. The garbage collected in the cleaning robot can be discharged from the dust outlet of the cleaning robot under the action of the fan of the maintenance station, enters the dust collection channel 103 through the dust collection port 131, and enters the dust extraction port of the maintenance station through the docking port 162 of the transfer channel 106, and finally enters the dust collection bag of the maintenance station, thus realizing the cleaning operation of the cleaning robot. Through the above settings of the dust collection channel 103 and the transfer channel 106, the dust collection port 131 of the dust collection channel 103 can be docked with the dust outlet of the cleaning robot, and the dust collection port 131 can be communicated with the dust extraction port of the maintenance station, so that the garbage collected in the cleaning robot can enter the maintenance station.

[0067] Furthermore, referring again to Figures 1 to 7 , in some embodiments of the present application, the dust collection port assembly 100 further includes a pressing block 107. The pressing block 107 is U-shaped, and the dust collection channel 103 is fixed to the pressing cover 102 through the pressing block 107.

[0068] Specifically, the function of the pressing block 107 is to fix the dust collection channel 103 to the pressing cover 102, so that the dust collection channel 103 can move together with the pressing cover 102, so that the dust collection channel 103 can move up and down. Therefore, the dust collection port 131 of the dust collection channel 103 will not be deformed and yield due to the extrusion of the cleaning robot, and the airtightness between the dust outlet of the cleaning robot and the dust collection port 131 of the dust collection channel 103 will not be affected, thus improving the dust collection rate of the maintenance station. At the same time, the movable dust collection port 131 of the dust collection channel 103 will not hinder the movement of the cleaning robot, thus facilitating the cleaning robot to move into the maintenance station. In addition, the pressing block 107 is U-shaped, which can firmly fix the side of the dust collection channel 103 to the pressing cover 102, thus ensuring the fixed connection between the dust collection channel 103 and the pressing cover 102.

[0069] In addition, referring to Figures 10 to 15 , the embodiment of the present application also provides a maintenance station 10 for cooperating with a cleaning robot, including: a main body part 11 and a dust collection seat 12. The dust collection seat 12 is detachably connected to the main body part 11, and the dust collection seat 12 includes the dust collection port assembly 100 as described above. For the specific structure of the dust collection port assembly 100, refer to the above embodiments. Since the dust collection port assembly 100 adopts all the technical solutions of the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, and will not be elaborated here one by one.

[0070] AsFigure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the main body 11 and the dust collection base 12 are combined in a detachable manner. When the maintenance station 10 is working, the user needs to assemble the main body 11 and the dust collection base 12, and vice versa, the dust collection base 12 is removed from the main body 11. As Figures 12 to 15 shown, the dust collection port assembly 100 is installed on the dust collection base 12, and the docking port 162 of the transfer channel 106 of the dust collection port assembly 100 is docked with the dust extraction port of the maintenance station. When the cleaning robot needs to dump garbage, the cleaning robot enters the maintenance station, and the dust outlet of the cleaning robot is docked with the dust collection port 131 of the dust collection channel 103. As Figure 11 shown by the arrow, the garbage collected in the cleaning robot can be discharged from the dust outlet of the cleaning robot under the action of air flow, enter the dust collection channel 103 through the dust collection port 131, and enter the maintenance station through the transfer channel 106, thus realizing the cleaning operation of the cleaning robot.

[0071] As Figures 1 to 5 shown, in the dust collection port assembly 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application, the base 101 is fixedly arranged on the bottom plate of the maintenance station, and the gland 102 is movably arranged on the base 101. Therefore, the gland 101 can move relative to the base 101. In addition, the dust collection channel 103 is fixedly installed on the gland 102 and is accommodated in the accommodation space formed between the base 101 and the gland 102. The dust collection channel 103 includes a dust collection port 131 and a transfer port 132. The dust collection port 131 of the dust collection channel 103 is arranged at the opening 121 of the gland 102, and the transfer port 132 is arranged on the side of the base 101.

[0072] Therefore, as Figure 8 shown, when the cleaning robot does not enter the maintenance station, the gland 102 and the dust collection channel 103 are in an uncompressed state, and the dust collection port 131 of the dust collection channel 103 is arranged at the opening 121 of the gland 102. As Figure 9 shown, when the cleaning robot needs to dump garbage, the cleaning robot enters the maintenance station, and the dust outlet of the cleaning robot is docked with the dust collection port 131 of the dust collection channel 103, thereby applying pressure to the dust collection port 131. Subsequently, the dust collection channel 103 and the gland 102 are under pressure. Since the gland 102 can move relative to the base 101, after the dust collection port 131 of the dust collection channel 103 is pressurized, it will move into the accommodation space between the base 101 and the gland 102. Therefore, the dust collection port 131 of the dust collection channel 103 will not be deformed and yield due to the extrusion of the cleaning robot, and the airtightness between the dust outlet of the cleaning robot and the dust collection port 131 of the dust collection channel 103 will not be affected, thereby improving the dust collection rate of the maintenance station. At the same time, the movable dust collection port 131 of the dust collection channel 103 will not hinder the movement of the cleaning robot, thus facilitating the cleaning robot to move into the maintenance station.

[0073] Reference Figures 12 to 15 Figures 12 to 15 , in some embodiments of the present application, the dust collection base 12 further includes a top cover 13 and a bottom cover 14. The top cover 13 is inclinedly disposed on the bottom cover 14, and the dust collection port assembly 100 is accommodated in the installation space formed by the top cover 13 and the bottom cover 14. An installation port 15 is provided on the top cover 13, and the dust collection port 131 of the dust collection channel 103 protrudes from the installation port 15.
