[0040] The present invention provides a cleaning device, a base station 100, and a cleaning system comprising the two. The specific form of the cleaning device is not limited, and it can be, for example, a handheld cleaning device or a self-propelled cleaning device. After cleaning, the cleaning device can be docked with the base station 100. After docking, the base station 100 can replenish water and / or automatically clean the cleaning device.

[0041] Specifically, see Figures 1 to 4 The base station 100 includes a main body 10, which is generally made of engineering plastic and is used to carry and protect the internal components of the base station 100. The base station 100 also includes a liquid supply component, a solenoid valve 30, an output pipeline 40 and a heating device 50 installed on the main body 10. The liquid supply component can be directly connected to an external water source, or it can be connected to a liquid storage device in the base station 100, such as a clean water tank. Preferably, the liquid supply component includes a liquid supply pipeline and a suction device 20. The liquid supply pipeline is suitable for communicating with an external water source and / or a liquid storage device. The suction device 20 is generally a pump body, and its input end 21 is connected to the liquid supply pipeline. The output end 22 of the suction device 20 is connected to the input port 33, so that the liquid supply component can provide water and connect to the input port 33 of the solenoid valve 30, and then output water through the solenoid valve 30 and the output pipeline 40 to provide water to the cleaning equipment for replenishing water and / or cleaning the cleaning equipment.

[0042] Preferably, the base station 100 further includes a cleaning mechanism for cleaning the cleaning device after it is docked with the base station 100. The output pipe 40 connects the solenoid valve 30 and the cleaning mechanism so that water is sprayed onto the cleaning device during cleaning, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency and effect of the cleaning device. And / or, the base station 100 further includes a water replenishment mechanism for replenishing water to the cleaning device after it is docked with the base station 100. The output pipe 40 connects the solenoid valve 30 and the water replenishment mechanism to replenish water to the cleaning device, allowing the cleaning device to use water for cleaning.

[0043] The solenoid valve 30 has an input port 33, a first output port 31, and a second output port 32. The input port 33 is connected to the liquid supply assembly. Figure 4 The dotted arrows in the figure indicate the direction of water flow. Specifically, the output pipeline 40 includes a first liquid outlet pipeline 41 and a second liquid outlet pipeline 42. The first liquid outlet pipeline 41 is connected to the first output port 31, and the second liquid outlet pipeline 42 is connected to the second output port 32. The first liquid outlet pipeline 41 and the second liquid outlet pipeline 42 are respectively used to output liquid water. The first liquid outlet pipeline 41 is provided with a heating device 50. The heating device 50 is used to heat the output liquid water to improve the cleaning effect of the base station 100 on the cleaning equipment and / or the cleaning effect of the cleaning equipment itself.

[0044] In this embodiment, the solenoid valve 30 can change the direction of the liquid outflow of the output pipeline 40 by switching its connection state. Specifically, the solenoid valve 30 can have a first connection state in which the input port 33 is connected to the first output port 31, and a second connection state in which the input port 33 is connected to the second output port 32 and disconnected from the first output port 31. In the first connection state, the input port 33 and the second output port 32 can be disconnected or connected. At this time, the water provided by the liquid supply component can flow through the heating device 50, thereby outputting the heated water. That is to say, in the first connection state, at least part of the water provided by the liquid supply component flows through the first liquid outlet pipeline 41 and is heated by the heating device 50 before being output. However, after the base station 100 has been used for a long time, the heating device 50 is prone to malfunction due to factors such as scale deposition, which can easily lead to failure to discharge liquid normally or reduced heating efficiency. At this time, the solenoid valve 30 can be switched to the second connection state, so that the input port 33 is connected to the second output port 32 and disconnected from the first output port 31. At this time, the water is not heated by the heating device 50 and is directly sent out. Although the heated water cannot be provided, the base station 100 can still continue to be used and realize its water replenishment function and cleaning function of the cleaning equipment. It will not be scrapped directly, thereby extending the service life of the base station 100.

[0045] Please continue to read Figure 5 The base station 100 further includes a control device 80 electrically connected to the solenoid valve 30 to determine the operating status of the heating device 50 and control the solenoid valve 30 to switch its on state based on the operating status of the heating device 50. When the heating device 50 is in an abnormal operating state, the control device 80 controls the solenoid valve 30 to switch from the first on state to the second on state. In this embodiment, the control device 80 controls the solenoid valve 30 to switch its on state based on the operating status of the heating device 50 to avoid a situation where liquid cannot be discharged, resulting in malfunction of the base station 100.

[0046] Furthermore, the base station 100 further includes a temperature sensor 60, which is used to heat the temperature of the liquid in the output pipe 40 after being heated by the heating device 50. In an optional embodiment, the temperature sensor 60 is provided in the output pipe 40 and is provided downstream of the heating device 50. Alternatively, the temperature sensor 60 can also be integrated into the heating device 50. In this embodiment, the temperature sensor 60 plays a role in regulating the output water temperature of the output pipe 40 and determining whether the heating device 50 is working properly. For details, please refer to Figures 1 to 5 The control device 80 is electrically connected to the temperature sensor 60 to obtain the detection temperature of the temperature sensor 60. The detection timing of the temperature sensor 60 may be after the heating device 50 has worked for a preset time. When the detection temperature is greater than the preset temperature threshold, it indicates that the water channel may be blocked, resulting in an overload of the heating device 50. At this time, the control device 80 determines that the heating device 50 is in an abnormal working state and controls the solenoid valve 30 to switch from the first on state to the second on state.

[0047] Furthermore, the base station 100 includes a three-way connector 70 mounted on the main body 10. The three-way connector 70 has a first liquid inlet end 71 connected to the first liquid outlet pipe 41, a second liquid inlet end 72 connected to the second liquid outlet pipe 42, and a liquid outlet end 73. In this embodiment, the first liquid outlet pipe 41 and the second liquid outlet pipe 42 are connected to each other through the three-way connector 70 before output, simplifying the water path.

[0048] Preferably, the temperature sensor 60 is mounted on the three-way connector 70 and is located at the first liquid inlet end 71 or the liquid outlet end 73. When the temperature sensor 60 is located at the first liquid inlet end 71, it only detects the temperature of the water heated by the heating device 50. In this way, the control device 80 can also adjust the start and stop or power of the heating device 50 based on the detection results of the temperature sensor 60, thereby outputting water at a preset temperature. When the temperature sensor 60 is located at the liquid outlet end 73, it detects the temperature of the water output after being combined through the first liquid outlet pipeline 41 and the second liquid outlet pipeline 42. In this case, the liquid output ratio between the first output port 31 and the second output port 32 of the solenoid valve 30 can be adjusted based on the detection results of the temperature sensor 60 to achieve the purpose of adjusting the outlet liquid temperature.

[0049] In an optional embodiment, the heating device 50 is detachably mounted on the main body 10, and the heating device 50 is connected to the first liquid outlet pipe 41 via a detachable connector, and the heating device 50 is connected to a power source via a detachable plug. Preferably, the heating device 50 can also be installed externally, or the main body further includes a shell covering the outside of the heating device 50, and an openable replacement window is provided on the shell corresponding to the heating device 50. When the heating device 50 malfunctions, the solenoid valve 30 switches to a connected state in which the first liquid outlet pipe 41 is disconnected and the second liquid outlet pipe 42 is connected. Then, the user can easily disassemble the heating device 50 and send it back to the manufacturer for inspection or replacement. In this way, the maintenance cost of the base station 100 is reduced compared to the manufacturer's on-site repair or replacement of the entire machine. During the disassembly of the heating device 50, since the second liquid outlet water channel is still connected, the base station 100 can still keep working and does not affect the user's daily cleaning.

[0050] Preferably, the base station 100 further includes an interactive device 90, which may include a voice prompt device or a screen display device, etc., for issuing prompt information to the user. The heating device 50 is detachably mounted on the main body 10, and the heating device 50 is connected to the first liquid outlet pipeline 41 via a detachable connector. The control device 80 is electrically connected to the interactive device 90. When the control device 80 determines that the heating device 50 is in an abnormal operating state, the control device 80 controls the solenoid valve 30 to switch from the first connection state to the second connection state, and then controls the interactive device 90 to issue a prompt message to prompt the user to remove the heating device 50. It is understood that after removing the heating device 50, the user can send the heating device 50 back to the original manufacturer for replacement or repair. During this period, the base station 100 can continue to be used normally because it has switched to the second liquid outlet pipeline 42, without affecting the user's cleaning activities during this period, thereby improving the user experience.

[0051] On the basis of the above embodiments, the present invention further provides a cleaning system, which includes the base station 100 in any of the above embodiments and a cleaning device capable of being connected to the base station 100 .
