[0039] Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a cleaning system, which includes a base assembly, a first device and a second device. The base assembly is formed with a receiving space having an open end. The second device can be disposed on the base assembly, and the first device can be movably received in the receiving space of the base assembly below the second device. In some embodiments, as Figure 1 shown, the first device can be a cleaning device 30, the second device can be a laundry treatment device 20, the base 10 is formed with a receiving space having an open end, and the cleaning device 30 can be movably received in the receiving space of the base 10 below the laundry treatment device 20, that is, the base 10 disposed below the laundry treatment device 20 can be used as a base station for the cleaning device 30.

[0040] By placing the laundry treatment device 20 and the base station of the movable cleaning device 30 vertically one above the other, the base 10 of the cleaning device 30 can occupy the same position as the laundry treatment device 20, avoiding the base 10 of the cleaning device 30 occupying additional area; at the same time, by arranging the base 10 of the cleaning device 30 and the laundry treatment device 20 together, when the cleaning device 30 is charging in the base 10, it can share the same power interface with the laundry treatment device 20, avoiding the need to set up a dedicated circuit for the base 10 of the cleaning device 30; when the cleaning device 30 is self-cleaning in the base 10, the base 10 can share the same water source and sewage outlet with the laundry treatment device 20, avoiding the need to set up a dedicated water source and sewage outlet for the base 10 of the cleaning device 30, which greatly improves the convenience of use of the cleaning device 30. Of course, the power supply for the cleaning device 30 when charging in the base 10 and the power supply of the laundry treatment device 20 can be two independent power supplies, the water source for the cleaning device 30 when self-cleaning in the base 10 and the water source of the laundry treatment device 20 can also be two independent water sources, and the sewage outlet for the cleaning device 30 when self-cleaning in the base 10 and the sewage outlet of the laundry treatment device 20 can also be two independent sewage outlets.

[0041] In some embodiments, the laundry treatment device 20 can be a drum washing machine, a pulsator washing machine, a clothes dryer, a washing and drying integrated machine, etc.; the cleaning device 30 can be a floor sweeping robot, a floor washing robot, a sweeping and mopping integrated robot, etc., and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0042] It can be understood that the present disclosure is not limited to only being able to place the laundry treatment device 20 above the base 10, and different devices or objects can be placed on the base 10 according to needs, and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0043] In some embodiments, as Figures 1 to 4 shown, a first connecting member 17 is provided on the top surface of the base 10 for supporting the laundry treatment device 20, and a second connecting member 21 is provided at the bottom of the laundry treatment device 20. The connection between the base 10 and the laundry treatment device 20 is achieved through the connection of the first connecting member 17 and the second connecting member 21.

[0044] In some embodiments, as Figure 3As shown, the base 10 includes a bottom plate 11, a top cover 12, a first side plate 13, and a second side plate 14. 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 top cover 12, the first side plate 13, the second side plate 14, and the bottom plate 11 enclose a receiving space with an open end 16, and the open end 16 opens along the third direction Y. Among them, 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; the third direction Y is the width direction of the first side plate 13 and the second side plate 14.

[0045] As Figure 4 shown, after the laundry treatment device 20 is disposed on the base 10 and the laundry treatment device 20 and the base 10 are fixedly connected together through the first connecting member 17 and the second connecting member 21, there is usually a gap 40 between the laundry treatment device 20 and the base 10 in the first direction Z.

[0046] In some embodiments, as Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, the base assembly includes the base 10 and a side cover plate 18. The side cover plate 18 is disposed on the side of the base 10, and the side cover plate 18 shields at least part of the gap 40.

[0047] Since the first side plate 13 and the second side plate 14 in the base 10 mainly play a supporting role, and after the first side plate 13 and the second side plate 14 are connected to the top cover 12, there are many exposed connecting members, such as bolts, on the first side plate 13 and the second side plate 14; at the same time, a reinforcing structure and a positioning structure are also formed on the first side plate 13 and the second side plate 14, making the surface flatness of the first side plate 13 and the second side plate 14 relatively low; the material of the base 10 is usually a galvanized sheet, and the appearance aesthetic is poor. The present disclosure shields the connecting members such as bolts by providing the side cover plate 18 on the side of the base 10, thereby preventing water from splashing onto the connecting members and affecting the service life of the connecting members; at the same time, by providing the side cover plate 18, the flatness of the side of the base assembly is improved.

[0048] In addition, by the side cover plate 18 shielding at least part of the gap 40 at the same time, it is avoided to separately provide a decorative strip at the position of the gap 40, reducing the number of materials of the base assembly, reducing the cost of the base assembly, reducing the number of gaps on the side of the base assembly, improving the integration degree of the base 10 and the laundry treatment device 20, thereby improving the overall appearance aesthetic of the base assembly, and further enhancing the market competitiveness of the product.

[0049] In some embodiments, the side cover plate 18 is detachably connected to the base 10. By detachably connecting the side cover plate 18 to the base 10, it is convenient to install the side cover plate 18 on the base. After the laundry treatment device 20 is installed on the base 10, the side cover plate 18 can be assembled on the base 10, so as to avoid the side cover plate 18 from hindering the installation of the laundry treatment device 20 on the base 10. At the same time, assembling the side cover plate 18 after installing the laundry treatment device 20 on the base 10 can better block the gap 40 between the base 10 and the laundry treatment device 20 through the side cover plate 18. In addition, by detachably connecting the side cover plate 18 to the base 10, the connection structure of the side cover plate 18 can be hidden, making the surface of the side cover plate 18 flat, further enhancing the overall aesthetic appearance of the base assembly, and thus enhancing the market competitiveness of the product.

[0050] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, the side cover plate 18 includes a first side cover plate 181 and a second side cover plate 182. The first side cover plate 181 and the second side cover plate 182 are respectively arranged on the side surfaces on both sides of the base 10 along the width direction of the base 10, that is, the second direction X. The first side cover plate 181 is disposed opposite to the first side plate 13, and the second side cover plate 182 is disposed opposite to the second side plate 14. The first side cover plate 181 and the second side cover plate 182 are respectively detachably connected to the base 10. For example, the first side cover plate 181 and the second side cover plate 182 are respectively snap-connected to the base 10, which is convenient for the assembly of the first side cover plate 181 and the second side cover plate 182 on the base 10.

[0051] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 shown, when the first side cover plate 181 is snap-connected to the base 10, the first side cover plate 181 is provided with a hook 1830, and the first side plate 13 of the base 10 is provided with a snap hole 131; or, the first side cover plate 181 is provided with a snap hole 131, and the first side plate 13 of the base 10 is provided with a hook 1830; or, both the first side cover plate 181 and the first side plate 13 of the base 10 are provided with snap holes 131 and hooks 1830; the hook 1830 extends into the snap hole 131 to form a snap connection, so that the first side cover plate 181 is snap-connected to the first side plate of the base 10.

[0052] In some embodiments, the hook 1830 includes an elastic arm and a locking head. One end of the elastic arm is connected to the inner surface of the side cover plate, and the locking head is provided at the other end of the elastic arm. A limiting surface is formed between the locking head and the elastic arm. When the hook 1830 is engaged with the locking hole 131, the locking head extends into the locking hole 131 through the deformation of the elastic arm. Then, when the locking head only needs to extend into the box, the elastic arm is located in the locking hole 131, and the elastic arm restores its elastic deformation, so that the limiting surface formed between the locking head and the elastic arm can abut against the inner wall of the side plate around the locking hole 131, forming a limit for the hook 1830 to escape from the locking hole 131. When it is necessary to disengage the hook 1830 from the locking hole 131, an external force can be applied to cause the elastic arm to deform, so that the locking head is located in the locking hole 131 and disengages from the locking hole 131.

[0053] In some embodiments, the hook 1830 and the first side cover plate 181 can be an integral structure, that is, the first side cover plate 181 can be integrally formed by, for example, an injection molding process using a mold, which improves the structural strength of the hook 1830 and avoids the situation of the hook 1830 breaking. In other embodiments, the hook 1830 can also be an independent structure arranged on the first side cover plate 181 by means of bonding, welding, clamping, etc., and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0054] In some embodiments, the locking hole 131 can be a hole directly formed in the first side plate 13, or a raised structure with a hole on the end face formed on the first side plate 13 to achieve engagement with the hook 1830. When the distance between the first side cover plate 181 and the first side plate 13 is large, by forming a raised structure with a hole on the end face on the first side plate 13, the length of the elastic arm of the hook 1830 can be shortened, thereby improving the structural strength of the hook 1830, avoiding the situation of the hook 1830 breaking, and further improving the connection strength between the first side cover plate 181 and the base 10.

[0055] In some embodiments, a part of the first side cover plate 181 can also be inserted together with the first side plate 13 of the base 10, that is, there is an insertion structure between the first side cover plate 181 and the first side plate 13. As Figure 7 shown, a slot 1840 is formed on the first side cover plate 181, and the slot 1840 can be formed by a raised structure; as Figure 8 shown, an insertion arm 132 can be formed on the first side plate 13, and the insertion arm 132 extends into the slot 1840 to realize the insertion of a part of the first side cover plate 181 and the first side plate 13, so as to further improve the connection stability between the first side cover plate 181 and the base 10.

[0056] In some embodiments, as Figure 7 shown, the first side cover plate 181 includes a main body portion 1810 and a side cover plate flange 1820; as Figure 9As shown, at least a part of the side cover flange 1820 is located on the side of the main body 1810 away from the open end 16 along the third direction Y, that is, at least a part of the side cover flange 1820 is located on the side of the back surface of the base 10. By the side cover flange 1820 located on the side of the back surface of the base 10, positioning can be formed along the third direction Y when the side cover 18 is assembled on the base 10, improving the assembly efficiency.

[0057] In some embodiments, the main body 1810 of the first side cover 181 and the base can be snap-connected to the first side plate 13 in the above-mentioned snap-connection manner. As Figure 9 shown, the side cover flange 1820 and the back plate 15 of the base 10 can be threadedly connected by screws 1850, further improving the connection strength between the first side cover 181 and the base 10.

[0058] In some embodiments, side cover flanges 1820 are formed on the edges of the main body 1810 of the first side cover 181. The side cover flanges 1820 extend towards the other side of the base in the second direction X relative to the main body 1810, that is, the cover flanges 1820 surround the main body 1810 in a ring shape; when the first side cover 181 is assembled onto the base 10, the annular side cover flanges 1820 are equivalent to the first side cover 181 being sleeved on the side of the base 10, forming quick positioning for the assembly between the first side cover 181 and the base 10, improving the connection stability between the first side cover 181 and the base 10; at the same time, making the surface of the first side cover 181 seamless and without edge structures, improving the aesthetic appearance of the first side cover 181, thereby further improving the overall aesthetic appearance of the base assembly, and further enhancing the market competitiveness of the product.

[0059] It should be noted that the first side cover 181 and the second side cover 182 can be symmetric structures in the second direction X. When the second side cover 182 is connected to the base 10, the connection method can be the same as that of the above-mentioned first side cover 181 and the base 10; for the specific connection structure and method, refer to the detailed description in the above-mentioned embodiments regarding the connection between the first side cover 181 and the base 10, which will not be elaborated here.

[0060] In some embodiments, in the second direction X, the gap 40 between the base 10 and the laundry treatment device 20 on the side where the first side cover 181 is provided is completely blocked by the first side cover 181. By making the first side cover 181 completely block the corresponding gap 40, the aesthetic appearance of the base assembly can be further improved, thereby enhancing the product competitiveness.

[0061] In some embodiments, in the second direction X, the gap 40 between the base and the laundry treatment device on the side where the second side cover plate 182 is provided is completely blocked by the second side cover plate 182. By completely blocking the corresponding gap 40 with the second side cover plate 182, the aesthetic appearance of the base assembly can be further improved, thereby enhancing the product competitiveness.

[0062] In some embodiments, a first grasping portion may further be formed on the first side cover plate 181, and the base 10 can be carried through the first grasping portion. The first grasping portion may be a concave structure recessed toward the first side plate 13.

[0063] In some embodiments, a second grasping portion may further be formed on the second side cover plate 182, and the base 10 can be carried through the first grasping portion and the second grasping portion. The second grasping portion may be a concave structure recessed toward the second side plate 14.

[0064] Those skilled in the art will readily conceive of other embodiments of the present disclosure after considering the specification and practicing the invention disclosed herein.
