[0040] In the following description, numerous specific details are provided to provide a more thorough understanding of the present invention. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention can be practiced without one or more of these details. In other instances, certain technical features known in the art are not described to avoid confusion with the present invention.

[0041] It should be noted that the terms used herein are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit exemplary embodiments according to the present invention. As used herein, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular form is also intended to include the plural form. In addition, it should also be understood that when the terms "comprise" and / or "include" are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of features, wholes, steps, operations, elements and / or components, but do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, wholes, steps, operations, elements, components and / or combinations thereof.

[0042] Now, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, these exemplary embodiments may be implemented in a variety of different forms and should not be construed as being limited to the embodiments described herein. It should be understood that these embodiments are provided to make the disclosure of the present invention thorough and complete and to fully convey the concepts of these exemplary embodiments to those of ordinary skill in the art.

[0043] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a cleaning base station, comprising a fan 1 for driving gas flow; a gas processing assembly 2, wherein the gas processing assembly 2 includes a first air inlet 21, a first air outlet 22, and a second air outlet 23, wherein the first air inlet 21 is connected to the air outlet of the fan 1; the gas processing assembly 2 also includes a processing element 24, which heats and cools the gas so that the first air outlet 22 and the second air outlet 23 discharge hot air or cold air. It is understood that the first air outlet 22 and the second air outlet 23 can discharge hot air or cold air, or both discharge hot air, or both discharge cold air.

[0044] In the cleaning base station provided by the embodiment of the present invention, the air outlet of the fan 1 is connected to the first air inlet 21 of the gas processing assembly 2. After the fan 1 is started, the air flow can flow into the gas processing assembly 2 under the action of the fan 1. Since the processing element 24 of the gas processing assembly 2 can heat and cool the gas, the first air outlet 22 and the second air outlet 23 of the gas processing assembly 2 can discharge hot air or cold air. Specifically, the first air outlet 22 can discharge heated hot air, and the second air outlet 23 can discharge cooled cold air. The hot air discharged from the first air outlet 22 can be used to dry wet components such as mops, thereby preventing the mops from getting moldy and producing odors; while the cold air discharged from the second air outlet 23 can be used to cool heat-generating components such as circuit boards, thereby improving the working efficiency of the heat-generating components and extending the service life of the heat-generating components. In other words, the cleaning base station provided by the embodiment of the present invention can provide hot and cold air at the same time, thereby meeting the cleaning system's needs for drying and cooling, thereby improving the service quality of the cleaning system.

[0045] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 ,in, Figure 3 The arrows in the figure indicate the direction of airflow. The gas processing assembly 2 may include a first air duct 25 and a second air duct 26. The processing element 24 may include a hot air outlet 241 and a cold air outlet 242. The inlet of the first air duct 25 communicates with the hot air outlet 241, and the outlet of the first air duct 25 forms the first air outlet 22. The inlet of the second air duct 26 communicates with the cold air outlet 242, and the outlet of the second air duct 26 forms the second air outlet 23. The processing element 24 communicates with the first air inlet 21.

[0046] After fan 1 and processing element 24 are activated, air, driven by fan 1, flows through first air inlet 21 into processing element 24. Some of the air is heated by processing element 24, while others are cooled. The heated air flows into first air duct 25 and is ultimately discharged through first air outlet 22 to dry wet components like mops. The cooled air flows into second air duct 26 and is ultimately discharged through second air outlet 23 to cool heat-generating components like circuit boards. This satisfies the cleaning system's drying and cooling requirements.

[0047] The first air duct 25 and the second air duct 26 are used to provide planned flow paths for the air flow, so that the hot air and the cold air can flow to the target location through the respective air ducts.

[0048] It is understood that the processing element 24 can have a variety of structural forms, as long as it can achieve both heating and cooling of the gas. For example, the processing element 24 can include a heater and a refrigerator, with the heater heating the gas and the refrigerator cooling the gas. Alternatively, the processing element 24 can be a semiconductor refrigerator, which includes a hot end for heating the gas and a cold end for cooling the gas. The specific configuration can be selected based on actual needs during implementation.

[0049] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 The gas processing component 2 may further include a heating element 27, which is arranged in the first air duct 25 and is used to heat the hot air discharged from the hot air outlet end 241; and / or, the gas processing component 2 may further include a cooling element, which is arranged in the second air duct 26 and is used to cool the cold air discharged from the cold air outlet end 242.

[0050] If a heater 27 is provided in the first air duct 25, the heater 27 can reheat the hot air heated by the processing element 24, further increasing the temperature of the hot air and thus improving the drying effect on wet items such as mops. Specifically, the heater 27 can be any component capable of generating heat. For example, the heater 27 can be one or more of a thermistor, a heating wire, a heating tube, and a heating film.

[0051] If a cooling element is provided in the second air duct 26, it can perform secondary cooling on the cold air after cooling the processing element 24, further reducing the temperature of the cold air and thereby further improving the cooling effect on heat-generating components such as circuit boards. Specifically, the cooling element can be any component capable of reducing temperature. For example, the cooling element can be a semiconductor cooling chip, an air cooler 1, etc.

[0052] In some embodiments, if the gas processing assembly 2 includes a heating element 27, the number of heating elements 27 may be multiple; the multiple heating elements 27 may be connected in series, in parallel, or in a mixed connection; if the gas processing assembly 2 includes a cooling element, the number of cooling elements may also be multiple; the multiple cooling elements may be connected in series, in parallel, or in a mixed connection. In specific implementations, the combination of the multiple heating elements 27 and / or the combination of the multiple cooling elements may be selected based on actual needs.

[0053] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3The gas processing component 2 may further include a first valve 28, which is arranged on the first air duct 25 and is used to open or block the first air duct 25; and / or, the gas processing component 2 may further include a second valve 29, which is arranged on the second air duct 26 and is used to open or block the second air duct 26.

[0054] If the gas processing assembly 2 includes a first valve 28, the first air duct 25 can be opened or blocked by the first valve 28. Specifically, when the first valve 28 is open, the first air duct 25 is open, and hot air can be discharged from the first air outlet 22 through the first air duct 25 to dry wet parts such as mops. When the first valve 28 is closed, the first air duct 25 is blocked, hot air cannot flow through the first air duct 25, and no hot air is discharged from the first air outlet 22.

[0055] If the gas processing assembly 2 includes a second valve 29, the first air duct 25 can be opened or blocked by the second valve 29. Specifically, when the second valve 29 is open, the second air duct 26 is opened, and cold air can be discharged from the second air outlet 23 through the second air duct 26 to cool heat-generating components such as circuit boards. When the second valve 29 is closed, the second air duct 26 is blocked, cold air cannot flow through the second air duct 26, and no cold air is discharged from the second air outlet 23.

[0056] If the gas treatment component 2 includes a first valve 28 and a second valve 29, the opening and closing of the first valve 28 and the second valve 29 can be controlled to control the gas treatment component 2 to discharge hot air or cold air, or to discharge hot air and cold air at the same time. Specifically, when only drying is required, the first valve 28 can be opened and the second valve 29 can be closed; when only cooling is required, the first valve 28 can be closed and the second valve 29 can be opened; when both drying and cooling are required, the first valve 28 and the second valve 29 can be opened at the same time, further improving the ease of use of the cleaning base station, thereby further improving the service quality of the cleaning system. Specifically, during implementation, the opening or closing of the first valve 28 and the second valve 29 can be selected according to actual needs. Moreover, the first valve 28 and the second valve 29 can be any components that can conduct or block the corresponding air duct. For example, valves, clamps, etc.

[0057] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 If the gas processing assembly 2 includes a first valve 28 and the gas processing assembly 2 includes a heating element 27 , the first valve 28 is disposed between the heating element 27 and the hot air outlet end 241 .

[0058] Since the first valve 28 is arranged between the heating element 27 and the hot air outlet end 241, when the wet degree of the wet parts such as the mop is small, the first valve 28 can be closed to block the first air duct 25, so that the wet parts can be dried only by the heat dissipated by the heating element 27, thereby reducing power consumption and saving energy.

[0059] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 If the gas processing assembly 2 includes a second valve 29 and the gas processing assembly 2 includes a refrigeration component, the second valve 29 is disposed between the refrigeration component and the cold air outlet end 242 .

[0060] Since the second valve 29 is arranged between the refrigeration component and the cold air outlet end 242, when the temperature rise of the heat-generating components such as the battery is small, the second valve 29 can be closed to block the second air duct 26, so that the heat-generating components are cooled only by the refrigeration component, thereby reducing power consumption and saving energy.

[0061] In some embodiments, the processing element 24 may be a semiconductor cooler, which includes a hot end and a cold end, the hot end including a hot air outlet 241, and the cold end including a cold air outlet 242. In this embodiment, the semiconductor cooler is used as a single device to achieve both heating and cooling of the gas, resulting in a simple structure and reliable operation.

[0062] Furthermore, the number of the processing elements 24 can be one or more. If there are multiple processing elements 24, the multiple processing elements 24 can be connected in series, in parallel, or in mixed series. In specific implementation, the combination of the multiple processing elements 24 can be selected according to specific usage requirements.

[0063] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The cleaning base station may further include a shell 3, in which the fan 1 and the gas processing assembly 2 are both arranged. The shell 3 is provided with a second air inlet 31 and a third air outlet 32 connected to the interior thereof; the first air inlet 21 is connected to the second air inlet 31; and the first air outlet 22 is connected to the third air outlet 32.

[0064] Among them, the first air inlet 21 is connected to the second air inlet 31 on the shell 3, and the first air outlet 22 is connected to the third air outlet 32 on the shell 3, so that the fan 1 can draw gas (such as air) outside the cleaning base station into the gas processing component 2 through the second air inlet 31, and the hot air heated by the gas processing component 2 is discharged to the outside of the cleaning base station through the third air outlet 32. This not only facilitates the flow of gas, but also facilitates the drying of wet components by the exhausted hot air; moreover, it can also prevent the hot air from escaping in the shell 3 and affecting other devices in the shell 3.

[0065] It should be noted that the cold air discharged from the second air outlet 23 can be used to cool down the heat-generating components, which may include the circuit board 100 of the cleaning base station, the circuit board and battery of the cleaning equipment, etc. Therefore, a fourth air outlet can also be opened on the shell 3, and the second air outlet 23 of the second air duct 26 is connected to the fourth air outlet to cool the heat-generating components such as the circuit board and battery of the cleaning equipment; or, the second air duct 26 can be located in the shell 3, and the second air outlet 23 can correspond to the circuit board 100 of the cleaning base station to cool the circuit board 100 of the cleaning base station; or, the second air duct 26 can include at least two branch air ducts, at least one of which can be located in the shell 3 for cooling the circuit board 100 of the cleaning base station, and the second air outlet 23 of at least another air duct is connected to the fourth air outlet to cool the heat-generating components such as the circuit board and battery of the cleaning equipment.

[0066] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The housing 3 has a docking position 33 for the cleaning device to dock. A third air outlet 32 is provided at the docking position 33. When the cleaning device is docked at the docking position 33, the mop of the cleaning device corresponds to the third air outlet 32, so that the hot air generated by the cleaning base station can dry the mop.

[0067] like Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a cleaning system, including a cleaning device 200 and the aforementioned cleaning base station.

[0068] The cleaning system provided by the embodiment of the present invention includes the aforementioned cleaning base station. Therefore, the cleaning system has all the beneficial effects of the cleaning base station, which will not be described in detail here.

However, it should be understood that the above embodiments are for illustrative and illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the present invention to the described embodiments. Furthermore, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments and that various variations and modifications may be made based on the teachings of the present invention, all of which fall within the scope of the present invention.
