DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0042] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are part of the embodiments of this application, not all of them. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0043] Unless otherwise defined, all technical terms used in the embodiments of the present application have the same meanings as commonly understood by those skilled in the art.

[0044] In order to make the technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the implementation methods of the present application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0045] On the one hand, if Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a cleaning equipment base station, which includes a housing 100 and a first cover 200. The housing 100 has a first receiving tank 110, a second receiving tank 120 and a cleaning dock 130. The first receiving tank 110 and the second receiving tank 120 are located above the cleaning dock 130 and are separated from each other. The first receiving tank 110 is connected to the cleaning dock 130 in a switchable manner. Therefore, the clean water in the first receiving tank can be introduced into the cleaning dock when necessary. For example, when the cleaning dock needs to be cleaned, the first receiving tank 110 and the cleaning dock 130 are in a connected state so that the cleaning dock 130 can be cleaned with clean water.

[0046] The interior of the first receiving tank 110 is suitable for holding clean water, and the first cover 200 is positioned over the notch of the first receiving tank 110. Therefore, when a user needs to refill water, they can simply add clean water to the first receiving tank 110, without having to remove or reinstall a clean water tank that is independent of the housing 100 as in the prior art. This simplifies user operations and improves water replenishment efficiency. Furthermore, by eliminating the need for a clean water tank that is independent of the housing 100 as in the prior art, not only can the cost of the cleaning equipment base station be reduced, but the volume of clean water that can be filled can also be increased, allowing a large amount of clean water to be added to the first receiving tank 110 at once, avoiding multiple refill operations and further improving water replenishment efficiency.

[0047] The following is combined with Figures 1 to 3 The details and functions of the cleaning equipment base station provided in the embodiment of the present application are described in more detail.

[0048] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the housing 100 has a partition 150. The partition 150 is located between the first receiving tank 110 and the second receiving tank 120, and is used to prevent the clean water in the first receiving tank 110 from entering the second receiving tank 120. This ensures that the clean water in the first receiving tank 110 does not leak into the second receiving tank 120.

[0049] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the first cover body 200 includes a cover member 210 and a sealing member 220. The cover member 210 is covered on the notch of the first receiving groove 110. The sealing member 220 is arranged along the circumference of the cover member 210, one side of the sealing member 220 is connected to the side of the cover member 210 facing the first receiving groove 110, and the other side extends away from the cover member 210. The outer wall of the sealing member 220 abuts against the inner wall of the first receiving groove 110 to seal the first receiving groove 110. With such an arrangement, when the first cover body 200 is covered, it can ensure that the first receiving groove 110 is in a sealed state, thereby preventing clean water from splashing out of the first receiving groove 110. It should be noted that the sealing member 220 can be annular.

[0050] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, a first connecting member 111 is provided at the top of the first receiving groove 110. The first cover 200 further includes a second connecting member 230, which is connected to the cover member 210. The first connecting member 111 and the second connecting member 230 are relatively and rotatably connected. Thus, the first cover 200 can rotate relative to the housing 100 with the connection between the first connecting member 111 and the second connecting member 230 as the rotation center.

[0051] like Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments, a liquid outlet pipe 300 is provided within the first holding tank 110. The first end of the liquid outlet pipe 300 is in communication with the interior of the first holding tank 110, and the second end is in communication with the liquid inlet of the water pump 600. The liquid outlet of the water pump 600 is in communication with the cleaning dock 130. It will be understood that when the water pump 600 is activated, the water within the first holding tank 110 can be pumped into the cleaning dock 130 through the liquid outlet pipe 300 to clean the interior of the cleaning dock 130. It will be understood that in the embodiments of the present application, cleaning the interior of the cleaning dock 130 refers to cleaning the inner wall of the cleaning dock 130 or the cleaning equipment located within the cleaning dock 130.

[0052] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the first end of the liquid outlet pipe 300 can also be connected to the liquid outlet of the filter assembly 800, the filter assembly 800 is installed at the bottom of the first receiving tank 110, and the liquid inlet of the filter assembly 800 is connected to the interior of the first receiving tank 110.

[0053] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the first end of the liquid outlet pipe 300 is located at the bottom of the first holding tank 110 , thereby ensuring that all water in the first holding tank 110 can be pumped into the cleaning dock 130 .

[0054] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, a water pump housing box 112 is formed within the first receiving tank 110. The water pump 600 is located within the water pump housing box 112. A water inlet hole 113 is provided on the side of the water pump housing box 112 facing away from the bottom 142 of the first receiving tank 110. The second end of the liquid outlet pipe 300 communicates with the liquid inlet of the water pump 600 through the water inlet hole 113. This saves space for arranging components within the cleaning equipment base station.

[0055] Combine Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the cleaning equipment base station further includes a sewage tank 400, which is removably mounted within the second holding tank 120 and communicates with the cleaning dock 130. It should be understood that after the cleaning dock 130 is cleaned with clean water, the resulting sewage can be discharged into the sewage tank 400 through the sewage outlet of the cleaning dock 130, thereby facilitating centralized and efficient sewage treatment. The sewage tank 400 generally includes a housing 410 and a sewage cover 420. The sewage cover 420 is typically positioned over the opening of the housing 410 to seal the sewage tank 400. To drain the sewage from the sewage tank 400, the sewage tank 400 can be removed from the second holding tank 120, the sewage cover 420 opened, the sewage in the housing 410 poured out, and the housing 410, now covered with the sewage cover 420, can be placed back into the second holding tank 120. This prevents spillage of sewage during collection or discharge.

[0056] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the cleaning device base station further includes a second cover 500, which is covered on the notch of the second receiving tank 120. The second cover 500 can ensure the sealing of the second receiving tank 120. In some embodiments, the top of the second receiving tank 120 can be provided with a third connector 124, and a fourth connector 520 is provided on the side of the second cover 500 facing the second receiving tank 120, and the third connector 124 and the fourth connector 520 are relatively and rotatably connected. This facilitates the second cover 500 to rotate relative to the housing 100 with the connection between the third connector 124 and the fourth connector 520 as the rotation center. Generally, the first connector 111 and the third connector 124 are located on the same side of the housing 100 to avoid interference between the first cover 200 and the second cover 500 during the process of opening or closing the first cover 200 and the second cover 500. That is, it can ensure that the first cover 200 and the second cover 500 can perform partition management on the first receiving groove 110 and the second receiving groove 120 .

[0057] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, a sewage discharge assembly 700 accommodating box 121 is formed in the second accommodating tank 120, and the sewage discharge assembly 700 is located in the sewage discharge assembly accommodating box 121. This can save the layout space of the internal components of the cleaning equipment base station.

[0058] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the first cover 200 includes a first side surface 240, and the second cover 500 includes a second side surface 510. When the first cover 200 and the second cover 500 are respectively placed on the notch of the first receiving groove 110 and the notch of the second receiving groove 120, the first side surface 240 and the second side surface 510 abut against each other. This arrangement not only improves the overall aesthetics of the cleaning equipment base station, but also further ensures the sealing of the first receiving groove 110 and the second receiving groove 120.

[0059] Combine Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the first cover 200 further includes a reinforcement member 250. The reinforcement member 250 is disposed along the circumference of the cover member 210. One side of the reinforcement member 250 is connected to the side of the cover member 210 facing the first receiving groove 110, and the other side extends away from the cover member 210. The seal 220 is sleeved on the outer wall of the reinforcement member 250. It should be noted that the reinforcement member 250 can improve the strength of the seal 220, prevent deformation of the seal 220, and extend the service life of the seal 220. Generally, the reinforcement member 250 can also be annular.

[0060] In some embodiments, the extension length of the reinforcement member 250 away from the cover member 210 is not less than the extension length of the sealing member 220 away from the cover member 210. This configuration ensures that the reinforcement member 250 can provide an effect of increasing the strength of the entire sealing member 220.

[0061] As can be seen from the above, the cleaning equipment base station provided by the embodiment of the present application makes it easier for users to perform water replenishment operations and improves the water replenishment efficiency. At the same time, since there is no need to separately set up an independent clean water tank separated from the shell 100 in the first receiving tank 110, the manufacturing cost of the cleaning equipment base station can be reduced, and the capacity of the area for storing clean water in the cleaning equipment base station is expanded, so that more clean water can be added to the first receiving tank 110 at one time, further improving the water replenishment efficiency. In addition, by providing the first cover body 200 and the second cover body 500, the first receiving tank 110 and the second receiving tank 120 can be managed by partitioning, which can prevent clean water from splashing into the second receiving tank 120, and can also prevent sewage from splashing into the first receiving tank 110.

[0062] Combine Figures 1 to 3 As shown, on the other hand, an embodiment of the present application also provides a cleaning equipment system, which includes a cleaning equipment and a cleaning equipment base station as provided in any of the above embodiments of the present application, and the cleaning dock 130 is used to accommodate the cleaning equipment. It should be noted that the composition and function of the cleaning equipment base station in the cleaning equipment system are the same as those of any of the cleaning equipment base stations provided in the above embodiments of the present application, so this application will not repeat them here. The use of the cleaning equipment system provided in the embodiment of the present application can improve the water replenishment efficiency, that is, avoid multiple intermittent water replenishment, and thus improve the cleaning efficiency of the cleaning equipment or the cleaning dock 130. It should be noted that the cleaning equipment in the embodiment of the present application can be a cleaning equipment such as a sweeping robot. The cleaning equipment generally includes cleaning parts such as a mop for cleaning dirty areas. After the cleaning equipment finishes cleaning the dirty area, it can enter the cleaning dock 130 and use the clean water discharged from the first receiving tank 110 into the cleaning dock 130 to clean the cleaning parts. It should be understood that the clean water can also clean the inner wall of the cleaning dock 130 itself.
