[0038] Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a base, as Figure 1 shown, the base 10 is used to house the cleaning device 20; as Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, the base 10 includes a first frame and a second frame. The first frame includes a bottom plate 11, a first side plate 13 and a second side plate 14. The first side plate 13, the second side plate 14 and the bottom plate 11 are of an integral structure; the second frame and the first frame form a receiving space with an open end 15, and the receiving space is used to house the cleaning device 20.

[0039] Wherein, the first side plate 13 and the second side plate 14 are located between the bottom plate 11 and the top cover 12 along the first direction Z, and are connected to both sides of the bottom plate 11 in the width direction along the second direction X. The second frame can be the top cover 12, and the top cover 12, the first side plate 13, the second side plate 14 and the bottom plate 11 enclose to form a receiving space. Wherein, the first direction Z is the thickness direction of the bottom plate 11 and the top cover 12, that is, the height direction of the first side plate 13 and the second side plate 14; the second direction X is the width direction of the bottom plate 11 and the top cover 12, that is, the thickness direction of the first side plate 13 and the second side plate 14.

[0040] Among them, a sunken area 111 is formed on the bottom plate 11 and sinks in a direction away from the top cover 12, and the open end 15 is located in the sunken area 111. The sunken area 111 is used to carry the cleaning device 20. By setting the sunken area 111, the height of the bottom plate 11 is reduced, that is, the height of the cleaning device 20 in the middle of the accommodation space can be relatively reduced; when the cleaning device 20 enters and exits the accommodation space through the open end 15, the climbing height of the cleaning device 20 can be reduced.

[0041] In addition, by making the first side plate 13, the second side plate 14 and the bottom plate 11 an integral structure, that is, the first side plate 13, the second side plate 14 and the bottom plate 11 form a U-shaped integral structure, the structural strength of the base 10 is improved.

[0042] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the bottom plate 11 includes a first bottom plate portion 1121 connected to the first side plate 13 and a second bottom plate portion 1122 connected to the second side plate 14. The sunken area 111 is located between the first bottom plate portion 1121 and the second bottom plate portion 1122, and the distance between the sunken area 111 and the top cover 12 is greater than the distances between the first bottom plate portion 1121 and the second bottom plate portion 1122 and the top cover 12, that is, the sunken area 111 is set to sink relative to the first bottom plate portion 1121 and the second bottom plate portion 1122. By providing the sunken area 111 in the middle area between the first bottom plate portion 1121 and the second bottom plate portion 1122, the bottom plate 11 is locally sunken, and the locally sunken area carries the cleaning device 20.

[0043] In some embodiments, the bottom plate 11 can be an integral structure, that is, the first bottom plate portion 1121, the second bottom plate portion 1122 and the sunken area 111 can be integrally formed by sheet metal, so that the base 10 has higher structural strength.

[0044] In some embodiments, in the second direction X, the width of the first bottom plate portion 1121 can be 5% - 10% of the width of the bottom plate 11, such as 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9%, 10%, etc., which are not listed one by one in the present disclosure; the width of the second bottom plate portion 1122 can be 5% - 10% of the width of the bottom plate 11, such as 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9%, 10%, etc., which are not listed one by one in the present disclosure; the width of the sunken area 111 can be 80% - 90% of the width of the bottom plate 11, such as 80%, 81%, 82%, 83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, etc., which are not listed one by one in the present disclosure; so that the sunken area 111 provides a sufficient support area to prevent the bottom rollers of the cleaning device 20 from being located on the first bottom plate portion 1121 or the second bottom plate portion 1122.

[0045] In some embodiments, in the third direction Y, the first bottom plate portion 1121, the second bottom plate portion 1122, and the sunken area 111 may penetrate through the bottom plate 11, so as to prevent the structure of the bottom plate 11 from being too complex and causing the manufacturing cost of the bottom plate 11 to increase. Of course, one or both of the first bottom plate portion 1121, the second bottom plate portion 1122, and the sunken area 111 may penetrate through the bottom plate 11, and the size of the sunken area 111 only needs to be able to carry the cleaning device 20.

[0046] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 shown, a plurality of bottom plate reinforcing ribs 113 are formed on one side of the sunken area 111 facing the top cover 12, and the distance between the bottom plate reinforcing ribs 113 and the top cover 12 is greater than the distance between the first bottom plate portion 1121 and the second bottom plate portion 1122 and the top cover 12. Since the sunken area 111 needs to support the cleaning device 20, deformation of the sunken area 111 may occur after long-term use. By providing a plurality of bottom plate reinforcing ribs 113, the structural strength of the bottom plate 11 in the sunken area 111 is improved, and the situation of deformation of the sunken area 111 can be avoided, thereby improving the overall structural strength of the base 10 and further improving the reliability of carrying the cleaning device 20.

[0047] In some embodiments, in the direction of the other side of the bottom plate 11 near the open end 15, that is, in the third direction Y, a plurality of bottom plate reinforcing ribs 113 are arranged in parallel. By the plurality of bottom plate reinforcing ribs 113 arranged in parallel, the structural strength of the sunken area 111 is improved; at the same time, the plurality of bottom plate reinforcing ribs 113 intersect with the traveling route of the cleaning device 20 entering the base 10 through the open end 15, which is convenient for the cleaning device 20 to adjust its position in the base 10 in the second direction X.

[0048] In some embodiments, the bottom plate 11 may be an integral structure, and the plurality of bottom plate reinforcing ribs 113 on the sunken area 111 may be formed by stamping sheet metal, further improving the structural strength of the sunken area 111; of course, the bottom plate reinforcing ribs 113 may be structural members separately provided on the sunken area 111 as the bottom plate reinforcing ribs 113, and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0049] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 shown, when a plurality of bottom plate reinforcing ribs 113 are arranged in parallel in the third direction Y, both ends of some bottom plate reinforcing ribs 113 are respectively connected to the first bottom plate portion 1121 and the second bottom plate portion 1122, that is, the bottom plate reinforcing ribs 113 penetrate through the sunken area 111 in the second direction X, so that the length of the bottom plate reinforcing ribs 113 in the second direction X is equivalent to the width of the sunken area 111, further enhancing the role of the bottom plate reinforcing ribs 113 in improving the structural strength of the bottom plate 11.

[0050] In some embodiments, as Figure 3As shown, a raised bearing portion 114 is further provided on the bottom plate 11. The cleaning device 20 is an autonomous mobile cleaning robot, and drive wheels are usually provided at the bottom thereof. When the cleaning device 20 enters the accommodation space, the two drive wheels can be respectively located on two spaced support portions. Among them, the surface of the bearing portion 114 is flush with the surface of the bottom plate reinforcing rib 113.

[0051] In some embodiments, both ends of the bottom plate reinforcing rib 113 located between the two bearing portions 114 are respectively connected to the two bearing portions 114 to enhance the structural strength of the bottom plate 11 at the bearing portion 114.

[0052] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 shown, the density of the bottom plate reinforcing rib 113 on the side of the bottom plate 11 close to the open end 15 is greater than the density of the bottom plate reinforcing rib 113 on the side away from the open end 15. Since the cleaning device 20 frequently enters and exits the accommodation space, the frequency of rolling on the side of the bottom plate 11 close to the open end 15 is relatively high; by making the density of the bottom plate reinforcing rib 113 on the side of the bottom plate 11 close to the open end 15 relatively large, the structural strength of the side of the bottom plate 11 close to the open end 15 is relatively enhanced, and thus the structural strength of the bottom plate 11 is enhanced, and it is not easy to deform.

[0053] In some embodiments, in the direction from the open end 15 side of the bottom plate 11 to the opposite side, the distance between two adjacent bottom plate reinforcing ribs 113 can be increased in multiples of 10% - 50%, such as 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 3%, 40%, 45%, 50%, etc., which are not listed one by one in this disclosure; of course, it can also be increased in multiples greater than 50% or less than 10%, and this disclosure does not limit this.

[0054] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 shown, a first reinforcing rib 1151 is provided at the connection position between the first side plate 13 and the bottom plate 11. The first reinforcing rib 1151 can be formed by a stamping structure that is recessed toward the accommodation space at the connection position between the first side plate 13 and the bottom plate 11. When the bottom plate 11 and the first side plate 13 are formed integrally from a whole plate, when the whole plate is subjected to sheet metal working, bending, and stamping, a plurality of stamping structures can be formed at the bending position, and the stamping structures are recessed toward the accommodation space, thereby forming the first reinforcing rib 1151 at the connection position between the first side plate 13 and the bottom plate 11 to enhance the connection strength between the first side plate 13 and the bottom plate 11, and thus enhance the overall structural strength of the base 10.

[0055] In some embodiments, as Figure 4As shown, a second reinforcing rib 1152 is provided at the connection position between the second side plate 14 and the bottom plate 11. The second reinforcing rib 1152 can be formed by forming a stamping structure that is recessed toward one side of the accommodation space at the connection position between the second side plate 14 and the bottom plate 11. When the bottom plate 11 and the second side plate 14 are formed as one piece by the whole plate, when the whole plate is sheet metal, bent and stamped, a plurality of stamping structures can be formed at the bending position, and the stamping structure is recessed toward one side of the accommodation space, thereby forming the second reinforcing rib 1152 at the connection position between the second side plate 14 and the bottom plate 11, so as to improve the connection strength between the second side plate 14 and the bottom plate 11, thereby improving the overall structural strength of the base 10.

[0056] In some embodiments, Figure 3 As shown, an avoidance notch 116 is formed on the side of the bottom plate 11 at the open end 15 to form an avoidance cutting edge in front of the sinking area 111 to shorten the length of the ramp plate of the cleaning device 20 extending out of the base 10 .

[0057] In some embodiments, the avoidance gap 116 may extend from the first bottom plate portion 1121 toward the second bottom plate portion 1122, and the extension length may be 60% to 100% of the width of the sinking area 111 in the second direction X, for example, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 100%, etc., which are not listed one by one in the present disclosure.

[0058] In some embodiments, Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a bottom plate folding edge 117 is formed on the side of the bottom plate 11 located at the open end 15, and the bottom plate folding edge 117 is folded and located on the side of the bottom plate 11 away from the top cover 12. By forming the bottom plate folding edge 117 on the side of the bottom plate 11 located at the open end 15, the structural strength of the side of the bottom plate 11 located at the open end 15 is increased, and by forming the bottom plate folding edge 117, the side of the bottom plate 11 located at the open end 15 is an arc-shaped curved surface, which avoids excessive wear of the roller of the cleaning device 20 by the side, and improves the stability of the cleaning device 20 entering the receiving device.

[0059] In some embodiments, the bottom plate folded edge 117 formed at the side of the bottom plate 11 at the open end 15 can be formed by bending a sheet metal by 180°.

[0060] In some embodiments, the first frame can use a whole plate to form an integrated structure of the bottom plate 11, the first side plate 13 and the second side plate 14 through stamping, cutting and bending, so as to improve the connection strength of the bottom plate 11, the first side plate 13 and the second side plate 14, reduce production costs and improve production efficiency; the angle between the first side plate 13 and the second side plate 14 and the bottom plate 11 is, for example, 90°.

[0061] In some embodiments, the second frame may also adopt a top cover 12 formed by stamping, cutting, and bending a first integral plate, so as to improve the structural strength of the top cover 12, while reducing production costs and improving production efficiency. In other embodiments, the first frame and the second frame may also adopt processes such as casting to form an integral structure, and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0062] Embodiments of the present disclosure also provide a cleaning system, such as Figure 7 shown, the cleaning system includes a base 10 and a laundry treatment device 30, and the laundry treatment device 30 is disposed on the base 10. In some embodiments, the cleaning system may further include a cleaning device 20, and the cleaning device 20 can be movably received in an accommodation space of the base 10 below the laundry treatment device 30.

[0063] By movably receiving the cleaning device 20 in the base assembly below the laundry treatment device 30 when not in use, the base station of the cleaning device 20 and the laundry treatment device 30 occupy the same position, avoiding the base station of the cleaning device 20 occupying additional area; at the same time, integrating the base station of the cleaning device 20 with the laundry treatment device 30, when the cleaning device 20 is charging at the base station, it can share the same power interface with the laundry treatment device 30, avoiding a dedicated line for the base station of the cleaning device 20; when the cleaning device 20 performs self-cleaning at the base station, the cleaning device 20 can share the same water source and sewage outlet with the laundry treatment device 30, avoiding a dedicated water source and sewage outlet for the base station of the cleaning device 20, greatly improving the convenience of use of the cleaning device 20.

[0064] Since the self-weight of the laundry treatment device 30 is relatively large, the requirement for the support strength of the base 10 is relatively high; the present disclosure adopts a base 10 with a U-shaped integral structure for the first frame, improving the support stability for the laundry treatment device 30 and avoiding problems such as deformation of the base 10 and insufficient support stability.

[0065] Since the laundry treatment device 30 needs to ensure that its placement state is horizontal or basically horizontal during operations such as drying to avoid abnormal cleaning operations or even failures when placed obliquely; the base 10 provided by the present disclosure has relatively high structural strength, avoiding inconsistent heights of each area on the top cover 12 carrying the laundry treatment device 30 caused by deformation, thereby improving the support stability for the laundry treatment device 30 and enabling the laundry treatment device 30 to maintain a horizontal state on the base 10.

[0066] In some embodiments, the cleaning device 20 may be a floor sweeping robot, a floor washing robot, a sweeping and mopping integrated robot, etc., and the laundry treatment device 30 may be a drum washing machine, a pulsator washing machine, a clothes dryer, a washing and drying integrated machine, etc., and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0067] It will be understood that the present disclosure is not limited to only being able to dispose the laundry treatment apparatus 30 above the base 10, and different devices or objects can be placed on the base 10 as needed, and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0068] Other embodiments of the present disclosure will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art after considering the specification and practicing the invention disclosed herein. This application is intended to cover any variations, uses, or adaptations of the present disclosure that follow the general principles of the present disclosure and include known common knowledge or conventional technical means in the technical field not disclosed by the present disclosure. The specification and examples are only to be considered exemplary, and the true scope and spirit of the present disclosure are pointed out by the appended claims.

[0069] It should be understood that the present invention is not limited to the exact structures described above and shown in the drawings, and various modifications and changes can be made without departing from its scope. The scope of the present invention is only limited by the appended claims.
