For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0035] As Figures 1 to 5 shown, this embodiment provides a base station for a floor cleaning robot. The base station for the floor cleaning robot includes a base 1, a water tank 2, and a water supply pipeline 3. The base 1 is provided with a sewage tank 11; the water tank 2 is arranged on the base 1. The water tank 2 is provided with a spraying chamber 21 and spraying holes 22. The water in the spraying chamber 21 can be sprayed to the sewage tank 11 through the spraying holes 22 to wash the sewage tank 11; the water supply pipeline 3 is communicated with the spraying chamber 21, and the water supply pipeline 3 is used to supply water to the spraying chamber 21.

[0036] Water is supplied to the spraying chamber 21 of the water tank 2 through the water supply pipeline 3. The water in the spraying chamber 21 is sprayed to the sewage tank 11 of the base 1 through the spraying holes 22 to wash the sewage tank 11, so as to automatically clean the sewage in the sewage tank 11 in a timely and rapid manner after the floor cleaning robot automatically cleans the rag, without the need for the user to manually clean it, reducing the household burden of the user, avoiding the generation of peculiar smell and dirt residue caused by the failure to clean the sewage in time, ensuring the cleaning effect and service life of the floor cleaning robot, and improving the user experience.

[0037] Optionally, the water tank 2 includes a cover plate 23, which is connected to the base 1, and a jet chamber 21 is formed between the cover plate 23 and the base 1. The cover plate 23 and the base 1 can be connected by ultrasonic welding. Ultrasonic welding uses high-frequency vibration waves to transfer to the surfaces of the cover plate 23 and the base 1. Under pressure, the surfaces of the cover plate 23 and the base 1 rub against each other to form a fusion between the molecular layers. The cover plate 23 and the base 1 can be made of plastic parts. When ultrasonic waves act on the thermoplastic plastic contact surface, high-frequency vibrations of tens of thousands of times per second will be generated. This high-frequency vibration with a certain amplitude transmits ultrasonic energy to the welding area through the upper welding part. Since the acoustic resistance is large at the welding area, that is, the interface of the two welds, local high temperature will be generated. Also, because the plastic has poor thermal conductivity and cannot be dissipated in time for a while, it accumulates in the welding area, causing the contact surfaces of the two plastics to melt rapidly. With a certain pressure applied, they are fused into one body. When the ultrasonic waves stop acting, keep the pressure for a few seconds to make it solidify and form, thus forming a strong molecular chain to achieve the purpose of welding, and the welding strength can be close to the strength of the raw material.

[0038] It should be noted that the water tank 2 can adopt either a semi-surrounding cover-like structure or a shell-like structure with an independent enclosed space, which is not limited here.

[0039] In some embodiments, the cover plate 23 is provided with a first retaining protrusion 24, and the base 1 is provided with a second retaining protrusion 12. The first retaining protrusion 24 and the second retaining protrusion 12 enclose to form the jet chamber 21. By guiding the water in the jet chamber 21 through the first retaining protrusion 24 and the second retaining protrusion 12, the water in the jet chamber 21 can more easily be sprayed onto the sewage trough 11 of the base 1 through the jet holes 22 to fully wash the sewage trough 11.

[0040] Optionally, among the base 1 and the cover plate 23, one is provided with a positioning protrusion 25, and the other is provided with a positioning groove 13 that cooperates with the positioning protrusion 25. Through the cooperation of the positioning protrusion 25 and the positioning groove 13, quick and accurate positioning of the cover plate 23 and the base 1 can be achieved. The positioning protrusion 25 can be provided on the cover plate 23, and a circle of positioning protrusions 25 is provided at the edge of the cover plate 23. The positioning groove 13 can be provided on the base 1, and the shape of the positioning groove 13 matches the shape of the positioning protrusion 25.

[0041] In some embodiments, the jet direction of the jet holes 22 is inclined downward. The water flow sprayed obliquely downward can effectively and quickly wash the sewage trough 11, avoiding splashing of water and causing secondary pollution.

[0042] Optionally, the base station of the floor cleaning robot further includes a sewage discharge pipeline 4, which is communicated with the sewage tank 11, and the sewage discharge pipeline 4 is used to pump out the sewage in the sewage tank 11. By discharging the sewage in the sewage tank 11 after cleaning through the sewage discharge pipeline 4 outside the sewage tank 11, secondary pollution caused by sewage can be effectively avoided.

[0043] In some embodiments, the water supply pipeline 3 includes a water injection pipe 31, a three-way pipe 32, a first water distribution pipe 33 and a second water distribution pipe 34. The first interface of the three-way pipe 32 is connected to the water injection pipe 31, the second interface of the three-way pipe 32 is connected to the first water distribution pipe 33, and the third interface of the three-way pipe 32 is connected to the second water distribution pipe 34. Both the first water distribution pipe 33 and the second water distribution pipe 34 are communicated with the injection chamber 21. By using the three-way pipe 32, the water flow in the water injection pipe 31 can be efficiently divided into two parts and respectively transported to the first water distribution pipe 33 and the second water distribution pipe 34, with good sealing performance and simple installation. By simultaneously supplying water to the injection chamber 21 through the first water distribution pipe 33 and the second water distribution pipe 34, the flushing efficiency can be improved.

[0044] Optionally, the base 1 is provided with a first pipeline joint 14 and a second pipeline joint 15. The first water distribution pipe 33 is communicated with the injection chamber 21 through the first pipeline joint 14, and the second water distribution pipe 34 is communicated with the injection chamber 21 through the second pipeline joint 15. The water in the first water distribution pipe 33 is smoothly guided into the injection chamber 21 through the first pipeline joint 14, and the water in the second water distribution pipe 34 is smoothly guided into the injection chamber 21 through the second pipeline joint 15. The first pipeline joint 14 and the second pipeline joint 15 can effectively ensure the sealing performance of the pipeline and are convenient to install. The injection chamber 21 has a first water inlet and a second water inlet. The first water inlet is communicated with the first pipeline joint 14, and the second water inlet is communicated with the second pipeline joint 15.

[0045] In some embodiments, the water tank 2 is provided with a spraying chamber 26 and a spraying port 27, and the water in the spraying chamber 26 can be sprayed onto the floor cleaning robot body through the spraying port 27. The spraying chamber 26 can be a flow channel in an approximate cross shape, and a plurality of spraying ports 27 are distributed in the length direction of the flow channel. The water inlet of the spraying chamber 26 is located at the middle position of the cross-shaped flow channel to ensure that the water pressure of each spraying port 27 is symmetrically distributed. The spraying port 27 can face upward. Under the action of water pressure, the water in the spraying chamber 26 is sprayed upward through the spraying port 27 onto the floor cleaning robot body, which is convenient for cleaning the rag. It can be understood that the water source of the spraying chamber 26 can be the same as the water source of the injection chamber 21. Of course, the water source of the spraying chamber 26 can also be different from the water source of the injection chamber 21 and supply water independently.

[0046] The floor cleaning robot base station provided in this embodiment supplies water to the spraying chamber 21 of the water tank 2 through the water supply pipeline 3. The water in the spraying chamber 21 is sprayed onto the sewage tank 11 of the base 1 through the spraying holes 22 to wash the sewage tank 11. After the floor cleaning robot automatically cleans the rag, it can quickly and automatically clean the sewage in the sewage tank 11 in a timely manner, without the need for manual cleaning by the user, reducing the user's housework burden, avoiding the generation of peculiar smell and dirt residue caused by untimely sewage cleaning, ensuring the cleaning effect and service life of the floor cleaning robot, and improving the user's experience.

[0047] This embodiment also provides a floor cleaning robot system, including a floor cleaning robot body and the above floor cleaning robot base station. Water is supplied to the spraying chamber 21 of the water tank 2 through the water supply pipeline 3. The water in the spraying chamber 21 is sprayed onto the sewage tank 11 of the base 1 through the spraying holes 22 to wash the sewage tank 11. After the floor cleaning robot automatically cleans the rag, it can quickly and automatically clean the sewage in the sewage tank 11 in a timely manner, without the need for manual cleaning by the user, reducing the user's housework burden, avoiding the generation of peculiar smell and dirt residue caused by untimely sewage cleaning, ensuring the cleaning effect and service life of the floor cleaning robot, and improving the user's experience.

[0048] Note that the above is only the preferred embodiment of the present utility model and the applied technical principles. Those skilled in the art will understand that the present utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments here, and various obvious changes, re-adjustments and substitutions can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the protection scope of the present utility model. Therefore, although the present utility model has been described in detail through the above embodiments, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Without departing from the concept of the present utility model, more other equivalent embodiments can be included, and the scope of the present utility model is determined by the scope of the appended claims.
