[0038] To better understand the above technical solution, the technical solution of the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below through the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the specific features in the embodiments of the present application and the embodiments are detailed descriptions of the technical solution of the embodiments of the present application, rather than limitations on the technical solution of the present application. Without conflict, the technical features in the embodiments of the present application and the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0039] The present application takes into account that floor-sweeping robots have been widely used in recent years. After the floor-sweeping robot works for a certain period of time, it needs to return to the base station to clean the cleaning parts on the floor-sweeping robot. After the cleaning parts are cleaned, they need to be dried. Therefore, most base stations are equipped with drying components. The layout method of the drying components in the traditional technology is that the air duct and the air supply element are stacked along the width direction of the base station, which increases the overall thickness of the air duct and the air supply element. This design method leads to an increase in the depth of the base station.

[0040] As Figures 1 to 6 shown, according to the first aspect of the embodiments of the present application, a base station is proposed, including: a base station body 110, an accommodation cavity 111 is formed on the base station body 110; a drying pipeline 120, the drying pipeline 120 is arranged in the base station body 110, and one end is conducted to the accommodation cavity 111; a drying component 130, the drying component 130 includes a heating element 131 and an air supply element 132, the heating element 131 and the air supply element 132 are stacked along the height direction of the base station body 110, and at least one of the heating element 131 and the air supply element 132 is connected to the drying pipeline 120.

[0041] The base station provided by the embodiments of the present application includes a base station body 110, a drying pipeline 120 and a drying component 130, and the drying component 130 includes a heating element 131 and an air supply element 132. After the cleaning device main body completes the cleaning operation and returns to the accommodation cavity 111 of the base station, the cleaning parts on the cleaning device main body can be cleaned. After the cleaning of the cleaning parts is completed, the heating element 131 and the air supply element 132 can be turned on, and the air supply element 132 conveys the heated air flow to the cleaning parts of the cleaning device main body, and the drying of the cleaning parts can be completed, which is convenient for the cleaning system to perform the next operation.

[0042] In the base station provided by the embodiment of the present application, the heating element 131 and the air supply element 132 are stacked along the height direction of the base station body 110, and at least one of the heating element 131 and the air supply element 132 is connected to the drying pipeline 120, so that the heating element 131 and the air supply element 132 are arranged along the height direction of the base station body 110, which can make full use of the space at the top of the base station, thereby reducing the thickness of the drying component 130 and the depth of the base station, facilitating the assembly of the base station, especially facilitating the assembly as an embedded base station.

[0043] It can be understood that since the base station provided by the embodiment of the present application can reduce the depth of the base station and then make full use of the space of the base station in the height direction, this base station is particularly suitable for being used as an embedded base station. Only a small depth needs to be reserved by the user to complete the assembly of the base station, the requirements for space in the assembly can be reduced, which is beneficial to the popularization of the embedded base station.

[0044] As Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, in a feasible implementation manner, the base station further includes: a drying pipeline 120, the drying pipeline 120 is arranged in the base station body 110, a receiving cavity 111 is formed in the base station body 110, and one end of the drying pipeline 120 communicates with the receiving cavity. With such a setting, it is convenient for the transmission of the heat energy of the drying component 130.

[0045] As Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, in a feasible implementation manner, the heating element 131 is arranged in the drying pipeline 120, and the output end of the air supply element 132 is connected to the drying pipeline 120.

[0046] In this technical solution, a layout method of the heating element 131 and the air supply element 132 is further provided. The heating element 131 can be arranged inside the drying pipeline 120, and then the air supply element 132 is connected to the drying pipeline 120. Based on this, during the working process, when the air supply element 132 and the heating element 131 are turned on, the heating element 131 heats the air, and the air supply element 132 supplies air to form a hot air flow for transportation through the drying pipeline 120, so as to realize the drying of the cleaning element.

[0047] In this technical solution, by arranging the heating element 131 inside the drying pipeline 120, on the one hand, the space inside the drying pipeline 120 can be fully utilized, and the thickness and height of the heating component can be further reduced; on the other hand, the heat energy of the heating element 131 can be fully utilized, so that the heat energy of the heating element 131 can act on the receiving cavity 111 as soon as possible, thereby improving the drying efficiency.

[0048] In a feasible implementation manner, the output end of the air supply element 132 is connected to the drying pipeline 120, and the heating element 131 is connected to the input end of the air supply element 132.

[0049] In this technical solution, another arrangement of the air supply member 132 and the heating member 131 is further provided. The output end of the air supply member 132 is connected to the drying duct 120, and the heating member 131 is connected to the input end of the air supply member 132. That is to say, the heating member 131, the air supply member 132, and the drying duct 120 are arranged in sequence along the height direction of the base station. With such an arrangement, during the working process, when the heating member 131 and the air supply member 132 are turned on, the heating member 131 heats the air, and the air supply member 132 sucks air from the heating member 131 to form an air flow that is transported into the drying duct 120 and then transported to the accommodation cavity 111, which can further reduce the thickness of the drying duct 120 and the drying assembly 130, and further reduce the depth of the base station.

[0050] As Figures 3 to 6 shown, in a feasible implementation, the drying duct 120 includes: a main duct 121 and at least two branch ducts 122. The branch ducts 122 are all communicated with the main duct 121, and adjacent two branch ducts 122 are arranged at intervals.

[0051] In this technical solution, the structural composition of the drying duct 120 is further provided. The drying duct 120 may include a main duct 121 and at least two branch ducts 122. Based on this, on the one hand, the output ends of the drying ducts 120 can be arranged in the width direction of the base station body 110, enabling the base station body 110 to have multiple output ports in the width direction and improving the drying efficiency; on the other hand, there is a gap between adjacent two branch ducts 122, and this gap can avoid functional devices, making the layout of the devices of the base station body 110 more compact and further reducing the volume of the base station.

[0052] As Figures 3 to 6 shown, in a feasible implementation, the heating member 131 is arranged in the main duct 121, and the output end of the air supply member 132 is connected to the main duct 121.

[0053] In this technical solution, the specific installation positions of the heating member 131 and the air supply member 132 are further provided. The heating member 131 is arranged in the main duct 121, and the output end of the air supply member 132 is connected to the main duct 121. With such an arrangement, it is considered that since the main duct 121 needs to be conducted with at least two branch ducts 122, the volume of the main duct 121 is larger. The heating member 131 is arranged in the main duct 121, which can make full use of the space in the main duct 121. The output end of the air supply member 132 is then connected to the main duct 121, and by turning on the air supply member 132, the heat energy generated by the heating member 131 can be used to heat the cleaning member.

[0054] As Figures 5 to 6As shown, in a feasible implementation, the drying duct 120 includes: a first housing 123 and a second housing 124. The first housing 123 is connected to the second housing 124 to form a main duct 121 and at least two branch ducts 122 by splicing.

[0055] In this technical solution, the structural composition of the drying duct 120 is further provided. The drying duct 120 may include a first housing 123 and a second housing 124, and the main duct 121 and at least two branch ducts 122 are formed by splicing the first housing 123 and the second housing 124. On the one hand, it is convenient for the assembly of the drying duct 120; on the other hand, it is convenient to assemble the heating element 131 into the main duct 121, and it is convenient to connect the air supply member 132 to the drying duct 120, and further convenient for the connection between the drying duct 120 and the drying assembly 130, making the assembly of the base station more convenient.

[0056] As Figure 6 shown, in a feasible implementation, the first housing 123 forms a first extension 125 in the height direction of the base station body 110 towards the area where the air supply member 132 is located, and the air supply member 132 is connected to the first extension 125.

[0057] In this technical solution, the style of the first housing 123 is further provided. The first housing 123 forms a first extension 125 in the height direction of the base station body 110 towards the area where the air supply member 132 is located, and the air supply member 132 is connected to the first extension 125. At the same time, the first housing 123 is also connected to the second housing 124 to form the drying duct 120. By using the extension structure on the first housing 123 to connect with the air supply member 132, the first extension 125 can serve as the back plate of the air supply member 132, which can make the fixation of the air supply member 132 more reliable, thereby reducing the probability of abnormal noise generated by the vibration of the air supply member 132. At the same time, it makes the drying duct 120 and the air supply member 132 more compact, and can further reduce the space occupied by the drying duct 120 and the drying assembly 130.

[0058] As Figure 6 shown, in a feasible implementation, the first housing 123 forms a second extension 126 in the height direction of the base station body 110 towards the accommodation cavity 111 area, and the drying duct 120 is connected to the base station body 110 through the second extension 126.

[0059] In this technical solution, the style of the first housing 123 is further provided. The first housing 123 forms a second extension portion 126 in the height direction of the base station body 110 towards the accommodation cavity 111. Then, the drying duct 120 is connected to the base station body 110 through the second extension portion 126, making the connection between the drying duct 120 and the base station body 110 more reliable. Combined with the first extension portion 125, the connection between the air supply member 132, the drying duct 120, and the base station body 110 is more reliable, enabling the base station structure to be more compact and the operation to be more stable.
