[0041] Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a base, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the base 10 includes a base body 110, the base body 110 includes a bottom plate 111, a first side plate 113, a second side plate 114 and a top cover 112. The first side plate 113 and the second side plate 114 are located between the bottom plate 111 and the top cover 112 along a first direction Z, and are connected to both sides of the bottom plate 111 in the second direction X along the second direction X. The bottom plate 111, the first side plate 113, the second side plate 114 and the top cover 112 enclose a receiving space with an open end 115 facing a third direction Y. The receiving space is used to receive a cleaning device. Wherein, the first direction Z is the thickness direction of the bottom plate 111 and the top cover 112, that is, the height direction of the first side plate 113 and the second side plate 114; the second direction X is the width direction of the bottom plate 111 and the top cover 112, that is, the thickness direction of the first side plate 113 and the second side plate 114; the third direction Y is the length direction of the first side plate 113 and the second side plate 114.
[0042] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the base 10 further includes a receiving box 120 for being assembled in the receiving space, and the receiving box 120 is connected to the base body 110.
[0043] Among them, the receiving box 120 can be used to hold objects, such as a cleaning liquid box. After the cleaning device is placed in the base 10, the cleaning liquid box in the receiving box 120 can provide cleaning liquid for the cleaning device. The provided cleaning liquid can form a supplement to the cleaning liquid in the cleaning device and can also be used for self-cleaning of the cleaning head of the cleaning device in the base 10.
[0044] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 shown, the receiving box 120 is provided with an opening 126, and the orientation of the opening 126 can be the same as that of the open end 115. The cleaning liquid box can be placed through the opening 126, that is, after the cleaning liquid is accommodated in the dedicated cleaning liquid box, it is then placed in the receiving box 120 for use, which improves the placement efficiency of the cleaning liquid in the receiving box 120, reduces the structural design difficulty of the receiving box 120, reduces the production cost of the receiving box 120, and avoids the leakage of the cleaning liquid from the receiving box 120. At the same time, through the cooperation of the cleaning liquid box and the receiving box 120, when the remaining amount of the cleaning liquid is insufficient or after use, the cleaning liquid box can be quickly replaced to improve the supply speed of the cleaning liquid. In other embodiments, the receiving box 120 can also be directly filled with the cleaning liquid, and after the receiving box 120 is filled with the cleaning liquid, it is assembled on the base body 110, and the present disclosure does not limit this.
[0045] In some embodiments, the receiving box 120 is plugged or snapped into the base body 110. By plugging or snapping the receiving box 120 into the base body 110, the assembly of the receiving box 120 is facilitated. In other embodiments, the receiving box 120 and the base body 110 can be fixedly connected together by means such as bonding, welding, riveting, and threaded connection, and the present disclosure does not limit this.
[0046] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 shown, the receiving box 120 is connected to the top cover 112 of the base body 110. By connecting the receiving box 120 to the top cover 112 of the base body 110, the cleaning liquid can be extracted by an extraction device, such as a peristaltic pump, and the extraction pressure that the peristaltic pump needs to provide can be reduced. In other embodiments, the receiving box 120 can also be connected to the bottom plate 111, the first side plate 113, or the second side plate 114 of the base body 110; multiple receiving boxes 120 can also be provided, and the multiple receiving boxes 120 can be located on the same wall of the base body 110 or on different walls, and the present disclosure does not limit this.
[0047] In some embodiments, as Figures 4 - 6As shown, on the top cover 112 of the base body 110, there is a tongue 116 bent towards the accommodation space, and a slot 117 is formed between the tongue 116 and the base body 110.
[0048] In some embodiments, as Figure 4 shown, multiple tongues 116 may be formed on the base body 110. The insertion plate 122 is located between the multiple tongues 116 and the base body 110 at the same time, improving the connection stability between the accommodation box 120 and the base body 110, and avoiding problems such as breakage of the tongue 116 due to excessive force or an increase in the gap of the slot 117.
[0049] In some embodiments, as Figure 6 shown, the tongue 116 and the top cover 112 may be an integral structure, that is, the tongue 116 is an integral structure bent from the top cover 112 by stamping sheet metal. The top cover 112 may be a structure formed by bending a whole plate by stamping sheet metal. When forming the top cover 112, the tongue 116 can be designed to be formed by the same stamping sheet metal bending process at the same time, so as to reduce the production cost of the top cover 112 and improve the production efficiency of the top cover 112. At the same time, by making the tongue 116 an integral structure bent from the top cover 112 by stamping sheet metal, a through hole is formed at the position where the tongue 116 is formed on the top cover 112. Through this through hole, the position of the insertion plate 122 in the slot 117 can be observed, so as to assist in judging whether the insertion plate 122 is installed in place. In some other embodiments, the tongue 116 may also be a structural member connected to the top cover 112, and the tongue 116 and the top cover 112 can be fixedly connected by welding, bonding, clamping, riveting, threaded connection, etc. The present disclosure does not limit this.
[0050] In some embodiments, as Figures 7 - 10 shown, the accommodation box 120 is provided with an insertion plate 122, and the insertion plate 122 is configured to be located in the slot 117 between the tongue 116 and the base body 110, so that the accommodation box 120 is connected to the base body 110.
[0051] In some embodiments, as Figure 7 shown, the accommodation box 120 includes an accommodation box body 121, an insertion plate 122 and a plurality of connecting members 123, and the insertion plate 122 is connected to the accommodation box body 121 through the connecting members 123.
[0052] In some embodiments, as Figure 7 shown, after the accommodation box 120 is connected to the top cover 112, along the second direction X, there is a connecting member 123 between two adjacent tongues 116, that is, through two adjacent connecting members 123 and the insertion plate 122, it is equivalent to forming a jack, and the tongue 116 is inserted into the jack, improving the stability of the connection between the tongue 116 and the insertion plate 122 in the second direction X.
[0053] In some embodiments, as Figure 7 shown, a convex portion 124 is provided on a side of the insertion plate 122 facing away from the accommodation box body 121. In a direction in which the insertion plate 122 faces away from the accommodation box body 121, the sum of the thicknesses of the insertion plate 122 and the convex portion 124 is a; in a direction in which the insertion tongue 116 faces away from the base body 110, the gap between the insertion tongue 116 and the base body 110 is b, and a ≥ b, that is, the sum of the thicknesses of the insertion plate 122 and the convex portion 124 is greater than or equal to the depth of the slot 117 between the insertion tongue 116 and the base body 110. Therefore, after the accommodation box 120 is connected to the top cover 112, the insertion plate 122 can be stably located in the slot 117, preventing the insertion plate 122 from loosening or shaking in the slot 117 and causing the accommodation box 120 to become loose, thereby improving the connection stability between the accommodation box 120 and the top cover 112. In some other embodiments, a may also be less than b, and the present disclosure does not limit this.
[0054] In some embodiments, the convex portion 124 may be a rib formed on the surface of the insertion plate 122. The rib extends on the surface of the insertion plate 122 along the second direction X, so that the convex portion 124 can penetrate the insertion plate 122 in the second direction X. Thus, after the convex portion 124 abuts against the top cover 112, the insertion plate 122 can be stably located in the slot 117, further improving the connection stability between the accommodation box 120 and the top cover 112.
[0055] In some embodiments, a plurality of convex portions 124 may be provided on the surface of the insertion plate 122, for example, two. The heights of the plurality of convex portions 124 protruding from the surface of the insertion plate 122 may be the same. The plurality of convex portions 124 may be ribs formed on the surface of the insertion plate 122, and the plurality of ribs may be arranged in parallel on the surface of the insertion plate 122. By providing the plurality of convex portions 124, the insertion plate 122 can be stably located in the slot 117, thereby improving the connection stability between the accommodation box 120 and the top cover 112.
[0056] In some embodiments, as Figure 7 shown, on the accommodation box 120, a baffle 125 is further provided in a direction in which the insertion plate 122 exits the slot 117 between the insertion tongue 116 and the base body 110, that is, the third direction Y; when the insertion plate 122 is located between the insertion tongue 116 and the base body 110, the baffle 125 is connected to the base body 110. By providing the baffle 125, positioning of the accommodation box 120 and the top cover 112 in the third direction Y is formed; when the accommodation box 120 is assembled on the top cover 112, during the process of the insertion plate 122 extending into the slot 117, when the baffle 125 abuts against the side of the top cover 112, the connection between the accommodation box 120 and the top cover 112 is achieved, improving the assembly efficiency and the assembly accuracy.
[0057] In some embodiments, the baffle 125 may be an integrally formed structure on the receiving box 120, that is, when forming the receiving box, the receiving box 120 with the baffle 125 may be formed by the same casting process. In other embodiments, the baffle 125 may be fixedly connected to the receiving box 120 by means of welding, bonding, snap connection, riveting, threaded connection, etc., and the present disclosure does not limit this.
[0058] In some embodiments, a lid flange 1122 is formed on the lid body 1121 of the top lid 112, and the lid flange 1122 is folded toward the side of the receiving space; after the baffle 125 abuts against the lid flange 1122, they can be connected together by screws or bolts to improve the connection stability between the receiving box 120 and the top lid 112. In other embodiments, they can also be fixedly connected by means of snap connection, welding, bonding, riveting, etc., and the present disclosure does not limit this.
[0059] In some embodiments, in the first direction Z, the height of the baffle 125 is not greater than the height of the lid flange 1122 to prevent the baffle 125 from protruding beyond the surface of the top lid 112 after being connected to the lid flange 1122. The baffle 125 may be rectangular, so that there is enough overlapping area between the baffle 125 and the lid flange 1122 to improve the connection stability between the baffle 125 and the lid flange 1122.
[0060] In some embodiments, in the third direction Y, the distance between the tongue 116 and the lid flange 1122 is greater than the width of the insertion plate 122. When the receiving box 120 and the top lid 112 are assembled, the insertion plate 122 can first extend into the gap between the tongue 116 and the lid flange 1122 along the first direction Z, and then extend into the slot 117 formed by the tongue 116 along the third direction Y; when the baffle 125 abuts against the lid flange 1122, the tongue 116 can be completely located in the slot 117 to improve the connection stability between the receiving box 120 and the top lid 112.
[0061] In some embodiments, as Figure 10 shown, the area on the lid body 1121 of the top lid 112 where the tongue 116 is provided is recessed toward the bottom plate 111 side to form a recess 118. By making the area on the top lid 112 where the tongue 116 is provided recessed toward the bottom plate 111 side, the position of the tongue 116 is closer to the bottom plate 111, which is convenient for the insertion plate 122 of the receiving box 120 to be inserted into the slot 117 between the tongue 116 and the top lid 112. At the same time, by making the area on the top lid 112 where the tongue 116 is provided recessed toward the bottom plate 111 side to form the recess 118, the structural strength of the remaining part of the top lid 112 where the tongue 116 is located is improved, thereby avoiding the problem of large deformation when the top lid 112 is stressed in the area where the tongue 116 is connected, and improving the connection stability between the receiving box 120 and the top lid 112.
[0062] In some embodiments, the thickness of the accommodation box 120 in the first direction Z should not be too large to avoid occupying too much space in the height of the base body 110 and affecting the entry and exit of the cleaning device. The accommodation box 120 may be generally flat, that is, it may have relatively large dimensions in the second direction X and the third direction Y to accommodate a cleaning liquid box with sufficient volume.
[0063] Embodiments of the present disclosure also provide a cleaning system, such as Figure 11 shown, the cleaning system includes a base 10 and a laundry treatment device 20, and the laundry treatment device 20 is arranged on the base 10. In some embodiments, the cleaning system may further include a cleaning device 30, and the cleaning device 30 can be movably received in the accommodation space of the base 10 under the laundry treatment device 20.
[0064] By movably receiving the cleaning device 30 in the base assembly under the laundry treatment device 20 when not in use, the base station of the cleaning device 30 and the laundry treatment device 20 occupy the same position, avoiding the base station of the cleaning device 30 occupying additional area; at the same time, integrating the base station of the cleaning device 30 with the laundry treatment device 20, when the cleaning device 30 is charging at the base station, it can share the same power interface with the laundry treatment device 20, avoiding a dedicated circuit for the base station of the cleaning device 30; when the cleaning device 30 performs self-cleaning at the base station, the cleaning device 30 can share the same water source and sewage outlet with the laundry treatment device 20, avoiding a dedicated water source and sewage outlet for the base station of the cleaning device 30, greatly improving the convenience of use of the cleaning device 30.
[0065] In some embodiments, the cleaning device 30 may be a floor sweeping robot, a floor washing robot, a sweeping and mopping integrated robot, etc., and the laundry treatment device 20 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.
[0066] It can be understood that the present disclosure is not limited to only being able to arrange the laundry treatment device above the base, and different devices or objects can be placed on the base according to needs, and this is not limited.
[0067] Those skilled in the art will readily think of other embodiments of the present disclosure 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, which follow the general principles of the present disclosure and include known common knowledge or conventional technical means in the technical field not disclosed in the present disclosure. The specification and embodiments are only regarded as exemplary, and the true scope and spirit of the present disclosure are pointed out by the appended claims.
