[0034] As Figures 1 to 4 shown, this embodiment provides a floor cleaning robot base station. The floor cleaning robot base station includes a base 1, a filter screen 2, and a return pipe 3. The base 1 is provided with a cleaning tank 11 and a sewage tank 12. A return tank 13 is provided at the bottom of the cleaning tank 11; the filter screen 2 is arranged at the mouth of the return tank 13; one end of the return pipe 3 communicates with the return tank 13, and the other end communicates with the sewage tank 12. The sewage in the cleaning tank 11 can enter the return tank 13 after being filtered by the filter screen 2 and can flow to the sewage tank 12 through the return pipe 3. The cleaning tank 11 can be provided with one, two, or more according to the number of mops of the floor cleaning robot body. The return tank 13 can be an oblong tank structure and is arranged at the circular edge of the circular cleaning tank 11 to avoid affecting the cleaning of the mop of the floor cleaning robot body. Each cleaning tank 11 can be provided with one, two, or more return tanks 13, which is not limited herein.

[0035] Since the return tank 13 is communicated with the sewage tank 12 through the return pipe 3, the mop of the floor cleaning robot body is cleaned in the cleaning tank 11. The sewage after cleaning enters the return tank 13 after being filtered by the filter screen 2 and flows to the sewage tank 12 through the return pipe 3, realizing the filtration of sewage, facilitating the subsequent recycling of sewage, saving water resources, reducing the water adding burden of users, ensuring that the discharged sewage meets the standards, avoiding pollution to the environment caused by direct sewage discharge, and improving the user experience.

[0036] Optionally, to facilitate the installation of the filter screen 2, the floor cleaning robot base station further includes a mounting seat 4. The mounting seat 4 is arranged in the return tank 13, and the filter screen 2 is arranged on the mounting seat 4. The mounting seat 4 can serve as a support structure to support the filter screen 2, ensuring the stability of the filter screen 2 and avoiding the filter screen 2 shaking during the flushing process, which affects the filtering effect. The mounting seat 4 can be an oblong hollow columnar structure, and the filter screen 2 can be an oblong sheet structure.

[0037] Optionally, the filter screen 2 is bonded to the mounting seat 4. The filter screen 2 and the mounting seat 4 are fixed by bonding, with simple assembly, easy operation, and good sealing performance. The filter screen 2 and the mounting seat 4 can be bonded by means of dispensing. A dispensing machine can be used to perform batch assembly on the filter screen 2 and the mounting seat 4, improving production efficiency, ensuring the uniformity of dispensing quality, saving labor costs, and reducing production errors.

[0038] In some embodiments, an installation groove 14 is provided at the bottom of the reflux tank 13, and the mounting seat 4 is provided with a mounting protrusion 41 that cooperates with the installation groove 14. The filter net 2 is disposed on one side of the mounting seat 4, and the mounting protrusion 41 is disposed on the other side of the mounting seat 4. Through the limiting cooperation between the installation groove 14 and the installation protrusion 41, the accurate positioning installation of the mounting seat 4 is realized, the installation accuracy of the mounting seat 4 is improved, and the installation difficulty of the mounting seat 4 is reduced.

[0039] Optionally, the mounting seat 4 is connected to the bottom of the reflux tank 13. The connection method between the mounting seat 4 and the bottom of the reflux tank 13 can adopt ultrasonic welding. Ultrasonic welding utilizes high-frequency vibration waves to be transmitted to the bottom surfaces of the mounting seat 4 and the reflux tank 13. Under the condition of pressure, the bottom surfaces of the mounting seat 4 and the reflux tank 13 rub against each other to form a fusion between molecular layers. The mounting seat 4 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 reaching a certain amplitude transmits ultrasonic energy to the welding area through the upper welding part. Since the acoustic resistance at the welding area, that is, the interface of the two welds, is large, local high temperature will be generated. Also, due to the poor thermal conductivity of the plastic, it cannot be dissipated in time for a while and accumulates in the welding area, causing the contact surfaces of the two plastics to quickly melt. With a certain pressure applied, they are fused into one body. When the ultrasonic wave stops 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.

[0040] In some embodiments, the cleaning tank 11 is inclined, and the reflux tank 13 is located at the lower position of the cleaning tank 11. The inclination angle of the cleaning tank 11 can be from 2 degrees to 6 degrees. For example, the inclination angle of the cleaning tank 11 can be 3 degrees, so that the sewage slowly flows to the reflux tank 13 at the lower position of the cleaning tank 11 under the action of gravity, avoiding the sewage from splashing or overflowing from the relatively shallow cleaning tank 11.

[0041] Optionally, the base 1 is provided with a pipeline joint 15. One end of the pipeline joint 15 is communicated with the reflux pipe 3, and the other end is communicated with the reflux tank 13. The pipeline joint 15 can adopt a right-angle joint. Through the pipeline joint 15, the water in the reflux tank 13 can be smoothly guided to the reflux pipe 3. The pipeline joint 15 can effectively ensure the sealing performance of the pipeline and is convenient for installation.

[0042] In some embodiments, the filter screen 2 is provided with a plurality of filter holes 21, and filtration is carried out using a hole structure, which is convenient for processing. The filter screen 2 can also adopt other filtration forms, such as filter paper, utilizing the dialysis effect of the material itself. The filter screen 2 can also adopt a combination of multiple filtration forms, which is not limited herein. The materials of the filter paper for filtering sewage mainly include polyester film, ultrafiltration membrane, filter cloth, non-woven fabric or filter paper. These materials have good filtration accuracy, tensile strength, and stability, and can be used in a wide range of temperature and chemical environments, ensuring consistent filtration effects during sewage treatment, and at the same time having good acid and alkali resistance. The selection of these materials enables the filter paper to be used normally in the range of -40°C to 120°C, meeting the requirements of various sewage treatments. In addition, the materials of the filter paper also involve polyester, polypropylene, nylon, vinylon, cotton, etc. The filter paper made of these materials is widely used in industries such as pharmaceuticals, chemicals, dyes, steel, construction, iron smelting, chemicals, ceramics, cement, geology, and minerals, demonstrating its importance in industrial filtration. Especially in sewage treatment, the filter paper made of these materials can effectively remove impurities in the sewage, ensuring the safety and purity of the water quality.

[0043] Optionally, the floor sweeping robot base station further includes a sewage discharge pipeline 5, and the sewage discharge pipeline 5 is communicated with the sewage tank 12. The sewage discharge pipeline 5 is used to pump out the sewage in the sewage tank 12. By discharging the sewage in the sewage tank 12 after cleaning through the sewage discharge pipeline 5 outside the sewage tank 12, secondary pollution caused by sewage can be effectively avoided. The filtered sewage in the sewage tank 12 can also be recycled through the sewage discharge pipeline 5, saving water resources and reducing the water addition burden on users.

[0044] In the floor sweeping robot base station provided in this embodiment, since the return tank 13 is communicated with the sewage tank 12 through the return pipe 3, the mop of the floor sweeping robot body is cleaned in the cleaning tank 11. The sewage after cleaning passes through the filter screen 2 and enters the return tank 13, and then flows to the sewage tank 12 through the return pipe 3, realizing the filtration of sewage, facilitating subsequent sewage recycling, saving water resources, reducing the water addition burden on users, ensuring that the discharged sewage meets the standards, avoiding environmental pollution caused by direct sewage discharge, and improving the user experience.

[0045] This embodiment also provides a floor sweeping robot system, including a floor sweeping robot body and the above-mentioned floor sweeping robot base station. Since the return tank 13 is communicated with the sewage tank 12 through the return pipe 3, the mop of the floor sweeping robot body is cleaned in the cleaning tank 11. The sewage after cleaning passes through the filter screen 2 and enters the return tank 13, and then flows to the sewage tank 12 through the return pipe 3, realizing the filtration of sewage, facilitating subsequent sewage recycling, saving water resources, reducing the water addition burden on users, ensuring that the discharged sewage meets the standards, avoiding environmental pollution caused by direct sewage discharge, and improving the user experience.
