[0041] The following describes embodiments of the present invention in detail. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended only to explain the present invention and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0042] like Figure 1As shown, the cleaning device provided in this embodiment includes a sweeper body (not shown) and a sweeper base station. The sweeper base station includes a base station body 100, and the base station body 100 has a receiving space 130 at the bottom, and the sweeper body can be placed in the receiving space 130.

[0043] During specific operation, the cleaning device is started, the sweeper body leaves the sweeper base station, and performs the floor cleaning task. After the cleaning task is completed, the sweeper body automatically returns to the accommodation space 130 of the sweeper base station to perform mopping and cleaning.

[0044] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the sweeper base station includes a base station body 100 , a water level detection unit 200 and a display module 300 .

[0045] The base station body 100 includes a water tank 110, which holds clean water for washing mops. A water level detection unit 200 is provided within the base station body 100 and is used to detect the water level within the water tank 110. A display module 300 is provided within the base station body 100 and is in communication with the water level detection unit 200. The display module 300 includes multiple light-emitting units arranged in a sequence. The light-emitting range of the multiple light-emitting units changes step by step with the rise and fall of the water level within the water tank 110. The higher the water level within the water tank 110, the larger the light-emitting range, while the lower the water level within the water tank 110, the smaller the light-emitting range.

[0046] That is: the water level in the water tank 110 is detected by the water level detection unit 200, and the detection result is transmitted to the display module 300. The luminous range of the display module 300 corresponds to the water level in the water tank 110. The user can judge the remaining water amount in the water tank 110 based on the luminous range of the display module 300.

[0047] The sweeper base station and cleaning equipment provided in this embodiment are equipped with a water level detection unit 200 and a display module 300. The two can cooperate to accurately detect and display the water level in the water tank 110 in real time, so that the user can intuitively understand the water level status in the water tank 110 through the display module 300, so as to make timely responses, avoid water shortage when water is needed to wash the mop, and thus reduce the adverse effects on the cleaning effect and cleaning efficiency of the mop.

[0048] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the display module 300 is disposed on the outer surface of the front housing 120 of the base station body 100. This arrangement makes the position of the display module 300 more conspicuous and intuitive, and is convenient for users to view.

[0049] Furthermore, a transparent window is provided on the outer surface of the front housing 120, and a transparent window cover is provided outside the display module 300. The transparent window can protect the display module 300 without affecting the display function of the display module 300.

[0050] like Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the display module 300 is a signal light board, and the display module 300 includes a base plate 310 and a plurality of lamp beads 320. The base plate 310 is installed on the base station body 100, and the plurality of lamp beads 320 are arranged on the base plate 310. The lamp beads 320 are light-emitting units, and the number of light-emitting lamp beads 320 changes step by step with the rise and fall of the water level in the water tank 110.

[0051] Exemplarily, five lamp beads 320 are provided on the bottom plate 310, and the remaining water amount in the water tank 110 is displayed by the number of the lighted lamp beads 320. For example, when all five lamp beads 320 are lighted, the water tank 110 is full of water; when four lamp beads 320 are lighted, the remaining water amount in the water tank 110 is about 80%, and so on.

[0052] Through such a setting, the user can intuitively judge the remaining water amount in the water tank 110 by the number of lighted lamp beads 320. This visual feedback enables the user to quickly understand the water level status in the water tank 110. In addition, the display module 300 in the form of a signal light board has a simple structure, low production cost, and is more convenient for subsequent maintenance and replacement.

[0053] Optionally, the plurality of lamp beads 320 are all LED lamp beads. LED lamp beads have low energy consumption and low heat generation, and are energy-saving and environmentally friendly. In addition, LED lamp beads have excellent brightness and visibility, ensuring that the water level information is still clearly visible under different lighting conditions.

[0054] In other embodiments, the display module 300 can also be set as a liquid crystal display panel, and the change in the area of ​​the green area on the liquid crystal display panel can represent the change in water volume. The liquid crystal display panel can also display a percentage number representing the water volume, making the information transmission more intuitive.

[0055] like Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the water level detection unit 200 includes a real-time detection float 210 and a Hall sensor 220. The real-time detection float 210 is arranged in the water tank 110 and can move up and down with the rise and fall of the water level in the water tank 110. The Hall sensor 220 is arranged on the outside of the water tank 110, and the Hall sensor 220 can sense the movement of the real-time detection float 210.

[0056] Specifically, the Hall sensor 220 is used to detect changes in the magnetic field. The real-time detection float 210 includes a magnet. When the real-time detection float 210 rises or falls with the liquid level, the Hall sensor 220 can determine the position of the real-time detection float 210 by detecting changes in the magnetic field, and thus obtain water level information.

[0057] Through such a setting, the real-time detection float 210 and the Hall sensor 220 cooperate with each other to perform real-time detection of the water amount in the water tank 110, making the feedback of water level information more timely. In addition, there is no need for mechanical contact or electrical connection between the real-time detection float 210 and the Hall sensor 220, making the structure simpler.

[0058] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, a groove 111 is provided on the back of the water tank 110, and the Hall sensor 220 is provided in the groove 111. Such a configuration can make the Hall sensor 220 not occupy additional space outside the water tank 110, which is conducive to making the structure more compact.

[0059] In some embodiments, the water tank 110 is made of plastic, which is a non-magnetic material to avoid affecting the transmission of the magnetic field during water level detection.

[0060] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the sweeper base station further includes a control board 400 .

[0061] The control board 400 is disposed on the base station body 100, the water level detection unit 200 is connected to the control board 400, and the display module 300 is connected to the control board 400. In a specific implementation, the water level information received by the water level detection unit 200 is transmitted to the control board 400, and the control board 400 then transmits the water level information to the display module 300. In other words, the water level detection unit 200 and the display module 300 are connected to the same control board 400, and the two realize communication connection through the control board 400.

[0062] By setting up the control board 400, the communication between the water level detection unit 200 and the display module 300 can be centrally managed, and unified data processing and regulation can be achieved, making the transmission and processing of water level information more efficient, reducing line complexity and fault risks. The control board 400 also provides flexibility for subsequent function expansion, improving the overall intelligence level of the equipment and user experience.

[0063] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for the purpose of clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the implementation methods of the present invention. A person skilled in the art will be able to make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all implementation methods here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
