[0056] In order to more clearly understand the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of the present application, the scheme of the present application will be further described below. It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present application and the features therein can be combined with each other.
[0057] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present application, but the present application can also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein; it is obvious that the embodiments in the specification are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments.
[0058] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a cleaning base station, which includes a base station base 1, a cleaning structure 3 and a driving structure 4. A sewage tray 2 is provided on the base station base 1. The driving structure 4 is provided on the base station base 1 to drive the cleaning structure 3 to move back and forth in the sewage tray 2 to clean the sewage tray 2.
[0059] Among them, the sewage pan 2 is detachably arranged on the base station base 1, and the cleaning structure 3 includes a fixing seat 31 and a cleaning component 32. The fixing seat 31 is connected to the driving structure 4, and the cleaning component 32 is rotatably connected to the fixing seat 31 to have an escape position for escaping the sewage pan 2, so that the sewage pan 2 can be removed from the base station base 1. It can be understood that the sewage pan 2 is detachably arranged on the base station base 1, the fixing seat 31 of the cleaning structure 3 is connected to the driving structure 4, and the cleaning component 32 of the cleaning structure 3 can rotate relative to the fixing seat 31. In this way, when it is necessary to remove the sewage pan 2, the cleaning component 32 can be rotated relative to the fixing seat 31 and located in the escape position to avoid the sewage pan 2, so that the sewage pan 2 can be removed from the base station base 1 and taken out for cleaning, thereby avoiding long-term residual stains in the sewage pan 2 that breed bacteria and produce odors, thereby improving user experience.
[0060] It is understandable that the cleaning structure 3 reciprocates in the sewage tray 2 along the length direction of the sewage tray 2 or along the width direction of the sewage tray 2 or in other directions that can scrape the bottom of the sewage tray 2 .
[0061] It should be noted that the cleaning component 32 also has a cleaning position extending into the sewage pan 2, that is, the cleaning component 32 can be rotated relative to the fixing seat 31 to extend into the sewage pan 2 to clean the sewage pan 2, and can also be rotated relative to the fixing seat 31 to the avoidance position so that the sewage pan 2 can be removed from the base station base 1. In this way, the cleaning component 32 can switch between the cleaning position and the avoidance position to meet the use requirements. Figure 1 As shown, the cleaning assembly 32 is in the avoidance position, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown, the cleaning assembly 32 is in the cleaning position.
[0062] In some embodiments, the cleaning assembly 32 includes a connecting base 321 and a cleaning member bracket 322. The connecting base 321 is rotatable relative to the fixed base 31 about a first rotation axis. The cleaning member bracket 322 is provided with a cleaning member 3221, which can abut the bottom surface of the sewage tray 2. In other words, when the cleaning assembly 32 is in the cleaning position, the cleaning member 3221 abuts the bottom surface of the sewage tray 2. It is understood that the connecting base 321 can rotate relative to the fixed base 31, or it can rotate about a second rotation axis perpendicular to the first rotation axis, or about a third rotation axis at a predetermined angle to the first rotation axis. The cleaning assembly 32 only needs to be disengaged from the sewage tray 2 to facilitate removal of the sewage tray 2.
[0063] It should be noted that the cleaning assembly 32 can rotate relative to the fixed seat 31 under the action of its own weight so that the cleaning member 3221 abuts against the bottom surface of the sewage pan 2. In order to increase the tightness of contact between the cleaning member and the sewage pan, the overall weight of the cleaning assembly can be increased by increasing the weight of the cleaning assembly itself or by providing a counterweight on the cleaning member assembly. Alternatively, magnets can be provided on both the cleaning assembly and the sewage pan, and pressure can be applied to the cleaning member by the adsorption force of the magnets. In this case, the magnet on the sewage pan needs to be provided on the back of the sewage pan and extend along the axis of the first rotating shaft to prevent the magnet from affecting the movement of the cleaning assembly. Alternatively, a torsion spring can be provided on the rotating shaft between the connecting seat and the fixed seat, and the torsion spring can be used to apply force to the cleaning assembly to increase the tightness of contact between the cleaning member and the sewage pan. In some embodiments, a positioning structure is provided between the cleaning component 32 and the fixing seat 31, at least at the cleaning position. For example, a slot and a protrusion structure are provided on the rotating shaft between the connecting seat 321 and the fixing seat 31. When the cleaning component 32 is in the cleaning position, the slot and the protrusion are used to limit the cleaning component 32 so that the cleaning component 32 remains in the cleaning position. When the sewage tray 2 needs to be disassembled, the cleaning component 32 is rotated to the avoidance position by external force. The slot and the protrusion can also be used to limit the avoidance position to facilitate the removal of the sewage tray 2.
[0064] In some embodiments, the drive structure 4 includes a driving member 41, a driving pulley 42, a driven pulley 43, and a synchronous belt 44 wound around the driving pulley 42 and the driven pulley 43. The driving member 41 can drive the driving pulley 42 to rotate, thereby driving the synchronous belt 44 to rotate. The fixing base 31 is connected to the synchronous belt 44.
[0065] Understandably, the direction in which the driving member 41 drives the driving wheel 42 determines the direction of rotation of the synchronous belt 44, and thus the direction of movement of the cleaning structure 3. For example, in the case of a sewage tray 2 having a first end and a second end along its length, the cleaning structure 3 reciprocates between the first and second ends. Thus, when the driving member 41 drives the driving wheel 42 in forward rotation, the synchronous belt 44, via the fixed seat 31, enables the cleaning structure 3 to move from the first end to the second end. When the driving member 41 drives the driving wheel 42 in reverse rotation, the synchronous belt 44, via the fixed seat 31, enables the cleaning structure 3 to move from the second end to the first end. The forward and reverse rotations of the driving wheel 42 are relative concepts, one representing clockwise rotation and the other representing counterclockwise rotation, and are not specifically defined herein.
[0066] It should be noted that the driving member 41 , the driving wheel 42 and the driven wheel 43 are all arranged on the base station base 1 .
[0067] In a specific implementation, the driving wheel 42 is mounted on a driving wheel mounting seat, and the driving wheel mounting seat is detachably mounted on the base station base 1, so that the driving wheel 42 and / or the driving wheel mounting seat can be replaced easily when damaged.
[0068] In a specific implementation, the driven wheel 43 is mounted on a driven wheel mounting seat, and the driven wheel mounting seat is detachably mounted on the base station base 1, so that the driven wheel 43 and / or the driven wheel mounting seat can be replaced when damaged.
[0069] In a specific implementation, the driving member 41 is preferably a motor, which is mounted on the base station base 1 , or the motor is mounted on a motor mounting base, which is detachably mounted on the base station base 1 .
[0070] It should also be noted that the aforementioned fixing base 31 can be connected to the timing belt 44 in a detachable or non-detachable manner. A detachable connection can be achieved by bolting. For example, the fixing base 31 can have two opposing halves, with the timing belt 44 sandwiched between the two halves. The two halves are connected by bolts and nuts, and the bolts can pass through or avoid the timing belt. Non-detachable connections can be achieved by bonding, injection molding, or other methods. For example, the fixing base can be injection molded and integrally connected to the timing belt.
[0071] Optionally, in other embodiments, the drive structure may further include a drive member and a screw, wherein the screw extends along the length of the sewage pan, and the drive member drives the screw to rotate about its axis. The aforementioned fixing seat is sleeved on the screw and threadedly connected to the screw. In other words, the screw and fixing seat form a "screw-nut" structure. Rotation of the screw is converted into linear movement of the fixing seat, and reciprocating movement of the fixing seat along the length of the sewage pan is achieved by changing the rotation direction of the screw. Preferably, the drive member is a motor.
[0072] In some embodiments, the cleaning base station further includes a guide shaft 5 provided on the base station base 1 . The guide shaft 5 extends along the length direction of the sewage tray and passes through the fixing seat 31 . The fixing seat 31 can slide on the guide shaft 5 .
[0073] It is understandable that the setting of the guide shaft 5 can provide guidance and limitation for the movement of the fixing seat 31, so that the fixing seat 31, that is, the cleaning structure 3, can stably move in the length direction of the sewage tray.
[0074] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 The fixing seat 31 is provided with a through hole 311 for the guide shaft 5 to pass through. The through hole 311 is used to achieve relative fixation between the guide shaft 5 and the fixing seat 31. Thus, when installing the cleaning structure 3, the guide shaft 5 is first passed through the through hole 311 on the fixing seat 31, and then the guide shaft 5 is fixed.
[0075] In some embodiments, reference Figure 4 The cleaning structure 3 further includes a first rotating shaft 33 disposed between the fixing seat 31 and the cleaning assembly 32 . The first rotating shaft 33 extends along the length direction of the sewage tray, and the cleaning assembly 32 can rotate around the first rotating shaft 33 .
[0076] It can be understood that at this time, both the fixing seat 31 and the cleaning component 32 are provided with an axial hole for the first rotating shaft 33 to pass through. In this way, during installation, the axial holes on the fixing seat 31 and the cleaning component 32 can be aligned, and the first rotating shaft 33 can be inserted. The processing difficulty is low and the installation is convenient.
[0077] Optionally, in other embodiments, one of the fixing seat and the cleaning assembly may be provided with an axial hole extending along the length direction of the sewage tray, and the other may be provided with a first rotating shaft extending along the length direction of the sewage tray. The first rotating shaft cooperates with the axial hole so that the cleaning assembly can rotate relative to the fixing seat.
[0078] In some embodiments, reference Figure 5 The cleaning assembly 32 includes a cleaning member 3221 , which can abut against the bottom surface of the sewage tray 2 to clean the bottom surface of the sewage tray 2 .
[0079] The cleaning member 3221 may be a scraper bar, a roller brush, or both a scraper bar and a roller brush, which are not specifically limited here.
[0080] For example, in a specific implementation, referring to Figure 5 The cleaning member 3221 is selected as a scraper bar. When the cleaning component 32 moves, the scraper bar can abut against the bottom surface of the sewage tray 2, thereby cleaning the sewage tray 2.
[0081] Furthermore, the cleaning assembly 32 also includes a cleaning member 3223 that can clean the mopping member of the cleaning robot. When the cleaning robot is located on the base station base 1, the cleaning member 3223 can clean the mopping member on the cleaning robot during the movement of the cleaning assembly 32.
[0082] For example, referring to Figure 5 The cleaning member 3223 may be a comb, which includes a plurality of tooth-like structures arranged in sequence and capable of scraping the mopping member. Of course, the cleaning member 3223 may also be other structures to clean the mopping member of the cleaning robot, such as a brush, a scraper, etc., and is not specifically limited here.
[0083] In some embodiments, reference Figure 6 The cleaning structure 3 further includes a water spraying member 34 , which is connected to the cleaning assembly 32 and has a water spraying hole.
[0084] Understandably, the sewage tray 2 is provided with a sewage outlet 23 for draining dirt. The water spraying member 34 can be provided to spray water into the sewage tray 2 to rinse the sewage tray 2 when cleaning the sewage tray 2. The water spraying member 34 can also be configured to spray water onto the mopping member of the cleaning robot when the cleaning structure 3 is cleaning the mopping member. In this case, the cleaning assembly 32 has the ability to clean the mopping member of the cleaning robot. For example, the cleaning assembly 32 includes a scraper, a brush, a scraping tooth composed of multiple tooth-like structures, and other structures for scraping dirt from the mopping member.
[0085] In addition, since the water spraying member 34 is connected to the cleaning assembly 32, it can rotate synchronously with the cleaning assembly 32 relative to the fixing seat 31. That is to say, when the cleaning assembly 32 is in the avoidance position, the water spraying member 34 is also in a position where it can avoid the sewage tray 2, thereby avoiding the water spraying member 34 from affecting the disassembly of the sewage tray 2.
[0086] Among them, reference Figure 6 The cleaning assembly 32 includes a connecting base 321 and a cleaning member bracket 322. The connecting base 321 is rotatable relative to the fixed base 31 about an axis extending along the length of the sewage pan. The cleaning member bracket 322 is provided with a cleaning member 3221, which can abut the bottom surface of the sewage pan 2. The water spray member 34 is connected to the connecting base 321 and can rotate synchronously with the connecting base 321.
[0087] In some embodiments, reference Figure 7 The sewage tray 2 is provided with a sewage outlet 23. The cleaning structure 3 moves back and forth in the length direction of the sewage tray, can clean the sewage tray 2, and transfer the dirt in the sewage tray 2 to the sewage outlet 23, and discharge the dirt through the sewage outlet 23.
[0088] The above-mentioned cleaning component 32 also has a cleaning position extending into the sewage pan 2. A lifting structure is provided on the sewage pan 2. The lifting structure cooperates with the cleaning component 32 so that the cleaning component 32 has a cleaning position close to the sewage pan 2 and a lifting position detached from the sewage pan 2 in the cleaning position. The process of the cleaning structure 3 moving along the length direction of the sewage pan includes a first movement process gradually approaching the sewage outlet 23 and a second movement process gradually moving away from the sewage outlet 23. During the first movement process, the cleaning component 32 is in the cleaning position, and during the second movement process, the cleaning component 32 is in the lifting position.
[0089] That is, through the cooperation between the lifting structure and the cleaning assembly 32, when the cleaning assembly 32 gradually moves closer to the sewage outlet 23, it closely adheres to the sewage pan 2, thereby transferring dirt to the sewage outlet 23 for discharge. When the cleaning assembly 32 moves gradually away from the sewage outlet 23, the cleaning assembly 32 separates from the sewage pan 2, thereby avoiding dragging dirt remaining on the sewage pan 2. In addition, during the first movement process, that is, when the cleaning assembly gradually moves closer to the sewage outlet 23, the lifting structure is used to limit the cleaning assembly 32. That is, during this process, the cleaning assembly is always limited to the cleaning position, which is equivalent to the lifting structure acting as a positioning structure.
[0090] For example, in a specific implementation, referring to Figure 8 The cleaning assembly 32 includes a connecting seat 321 and a cleaning member bracket 322 connected to each other. The connecting seat 321 can rotate relative to the fixed seat 31 around an axis extending along the length direction of the sewage pan. The cleaning member bracket 322 is provided with a cleaning member 3221, and the cleaning member 3221 can abut against the bottom surface of the sewage pan 2.
[0091] It can be understood that the cleaning member 3221 abuts against the bottom surface of the sewage tray 2 when the cleaning assembly 32 is in the cleaning position, and is separated from the bottom surface of the sewage tray 2 when the cleaning assembly 32 is in the raised position.
[0092] It should be noted that the cleaning member 3221 can be a scraper bar, a roller brush, or both a scraper bar and a roller brush, which are not specifically limited here.
[0093] For example, referring to Figure 8 The cleaning member 3221 is selected as a scraper bar, which can push the dirt on the bottom surface of the sewage tray 2 to the sewage outlet 23 for discharge when moving.
[0094] Refer again Figure 8 The connecting seat 321 is provided with a second rotating shaft 3211 extending along the width direction of the sewage tray. The cleaning member bracket 322 is sleeved on the second rotating shaft 3211 and can be rotated around the second rotating shaft 3211 to make the cleaning member 3221 abut against the bottom surface of the sewage tray 2 or disengage from the bottom surface of the sewage tray 2.
[0095] That is to say, the cleaning member bracket 322 can rotate relative to the second rotating shaft 3211 so that the cleaning component 32 has a lifting position and a cleaning position. When the cleaning component 32 is in the cleaning position, the cleaning member 3221 contacts the bottom surface of the sewage pan 2, and when the cleaning component 32 is in the lifting position, the cleaning member 3221 is out of contact with the pan surface of the sewage pan 2. During the rotation of the cleaning member bracket 322, the connecting seat 321 remains stationary relative to the fixed seat 31, that is, the connecting seat 321 does not rotate during this process.
[0096] Furthermore, the cleaning member bracket 322 and the second rotating shaft 3211 are plugged and matched. The cleaning member bracket 322 is provided with a socket for inserting the second rotating shaft 3211, and a latching protrusion is provided in the socket. The second rotating shaft 3211 is provided with a latching groove. When the cleaning member bracket 322 and the second rotating shaft 3211 are plugged together, the latching protrusion and the latching groove cooperate not only to connect the cleaning member bracket 322 and the second rotating shaft 3211, but also to provide a user with a proper insertion reminder. In other words, the cooperation between the latching groove and the latching protrusion provides a change in tactile feel, allowing the user to confirm that the cleaning member bracket 322 and the second rotating shaft 3211 are properly plugged in.
[0097] It should be noted that the cleaning member bracket 322 can rotate relative to the second rotating shaft 3211 under the action of its own weight so that the cleaning member 3221 contacts the bottom surface of the sewage tray 2. In order to improve the contact between the cleaning member 3221 and the sewage tray 2, in one embodiment, the weight of the cleaning member bracket 322 can be increased or a counterweight can be provided on the cleaning member bracket 322 to increase the pressure exerted by the cleaning member bracket 322 on the cleaning member 3221, thereby increasing the contact between the cleaning member 3221 and the sewage tray 2.
[0098] Alternatively, an elastic member may be provided between the cleaning member support 322 and the connecting base 321. This elastic member is compressed when the cleaning member contacts the bottom surface of the sewage pan, and the elastic member applies force to the cleaning member support, thereby increasing the tightness of contact between the cleaning member and the bottom surface of the sewage pan. Alternatively, magnets may be provided on both the cleaning member support and the sewage pan, applying pressure to the cleaning member through the magnets' attraction. In this case, the magnets on the sewage pan should be located on the back of the sewage pan and extend along its length to prevent the magnets from interfering with the movement of the cleaning member.
[0099] In another embodiment, the cleaning structure 3 further includes a water spray member 34 connected to the connecting seat 321 and extending along the axis of the second rotating shaft 3211. An elastic member may be provided between the water spray member 34 and the cleaning member bracket 322. The elastic member is compressed when the cleaning member contacts the bottom surface of the sewage pan. The elastic member applies a force to the cleaning member bracket to increase the contact between the cleaning member and the bottom surface of the sewage pan.
[0100] like Figures 9 to 14 As shown, the cleaning member bracket 322 is provided with a guide bar 3222 inclined relative to the first rotating shaft. The lifting structure includes a guide bone bar 21 extending in the direction of the axis of the first rotating shaft. In the depth direction of the sewage tray 2, the cleaning member bracket 322 is in a natural state. The first end 3222a of the guide bar 3222 in the extension direction is higher than the second end 3222b, and the guide bone bar 21 is located between the first end 3222a and the second end 3222b. The upper side of the guide bone bar 21 can lift the cleaning member bracket 322 so that the cleaning component 32 is in the lifting position, and the lower side of the guide bone bar 21 can press down the cleaning member bracket 322 so that the cleaning component 32 is in the cleaning position. The length direction of the sewage tray is as shown in FIG. Figure 10 The ab direction shown, the depth direction of the sewage tray 2 is as follows Figure 10 cd direction shown.
[0101] That is, since the cleaning member bracket 322 can rotate relative to the second rotating shaft 3211, the cleaning member bracket 322 is in a natural state, and the guide bone bar 21 is located between the first end 3222a and the second end 3222b of the guide bar 3222. Figure 12 When the cleaning member bracket 322 moves, if the first end 3222a of the guide bar 3222 moves to the lower side of the guide bone bar 21, then under the action of the guide bone bar 21, as the cleaning member bracket 322 moves, the cleaning member bracket 322 rotates relative to the second rotating shaft 3211 toward the bottom surface of the sewage tray 2, so that the cleaning member 3221 contacts the bottom surface of the sewage tray 2. Figure 13 and Figure 14 When the cleaning member bracket 322 moves, if the second end of the guide bar 3222 moves to the upper side of the guide bone bar 21, then under the action of the guide bone bar 21, as the cleaning member bracket 322 moves, the cleaning member bracket 322 rotates relative to the second rotating shaft 3211 in a direction away from the bottom surface of the sewage pan 2, so that the cleaning member 3221 is out of contact with the bottom surface of the sewage pan 2.
[0102] The above-mentioned lifting structure can be arranged on the side wall of the sewage tray 2 or on the base station base 1. For example, referring to Figure 11 The above-mentioned guide bone strip 21 is set on the side wall of the sewage tray 2, and the guide bone strip 21 cooperates with the guide strip 3222 on the cleaning component bracket 322.
[0103] It is understandable that, due to the presence of the guide bone bar 21, when it is necessary to rotate the cleaning assembly 32 relative to the fixed seat 31 so that the cleaning assembly 32 is located in the avoidance position, the above-mentioned cleaning component bracket 322 needs to be located on the upper side of the guide bone bar 21 in the depth direction of the sewage tray 2, so as to avoid the guide bone bar 21 affecting the rotation of the cleaning assembly 32 relative to the fixed seat 31.
[0104] It should be noted that when the cleaning member bracket 322 is in a natural state, the cleaning member 3221 is in contact with the bottom surface of the sewage pan 2. In this way, when the cleaning member bracket 322 is not moved to cooperate with the guide bone bar 21, the cleaning member 3221 can also be in contact with the bottom surface of the sewage pan 2 to ensure the scraping effect.
[0105] For example, the sewage tray 2 may be provided with a sewage outlet 23 at one end in the longitudinal direction, in which case a corresponding guide bone bar 21 may be provided. Alternatively, the sewage tray may be provided with a guide bone bar on both sides in the width direction, in which case the cleaning component holder is provided with a guide bar at both ends in the width direction of the sewage tray. The two guide bars and the two guide bones cooperate with each other to improve the stability of the cleaning component holder during movement.
[0106] Alternatively, the sewage tray may be provided with a drain outlet in the middle of its length, in which case two guide ribs are provided on the sewage tray. Alternatively, the sewage tray may be provided with multiple drain outlets at intervals along its length, in which case a guide rib is provided between two adjacent drain outlets.
[0107] Illustratively, in another specific implementation, the cleaning component may be provided with a guide bar that is inclined relative to the direction of the axis of the first rotating shaft, that is, in the length direction of the sewage pan, and the lifting structure includes a guide bone bar extending along the length direction of the sewage pan. In the depth direction of the sewage pan, when the cleaning component is in a natural state, the first end of the guide bar in the extension direction is higher than the second end, and the guide bone bar is located between the first end and the second end. The upper side of the guide bone bar can lift the cleaning component to a lifted position, and the lower side of the guide bone bar can press down the cleaning component to a cleaning position.
[0108] In this case, the switching of the cleaning assembly between the raised position and the cleaning position is achieved by rotating the cleaning assembly relative to the fixed base. In other words, the cleaning position of the cleaning assembly is not a fixed position relative to the fixed base, but rather has a rotation range relative to the fixed base. The rotation angle of the cleaning assembly between the cleaning position and the raised position relative to the fixed base can be set according to actual needs and is not specifically limited here.
[0109] In some embodiments, reference Figures 15 to 17 The guide bar 21 has a first guide end 21a and a second guide end 21b along its extension direction. The first guide end 21a is closer to the sewage outlet 23 than the second guide end 21b. In the depth direction of the sewage pan 2, the guide bar 21 has a first guide slope 211 on its upper side at the first guide end 21a, and a second guide slope 212 on its lower side at the second guide end 21b. Both the first guide slope 211 and the second guide slope 212 are inclined relative to the length direction of the sewage pan.
[0110] It can be understood that by setting the first guide bevel 211 and the second guide bevel 212, a guiding effect can be played on the guide bar 3222, reducing the friction between the guide bar 3222 and the guide bone bar 21, so that the cleaning member bracket 322 can move smoothly to the upper side or lower side of the guide bone bar 21 in the depth direction of the sewage tray 2.
[0111] It should be noted that the first guiding inclined surface 211 and the second guiding inclined surface 212 are preferably parallel to the extending direction of the guiding strip 3222 .
[0112] In some embodiments, reference Figure 18 and Figure 19 The sewage tray 2 is also provided with a sewage trough 22 and a sewage outlet 23 connected to the sewage trough 22, and a filter 6 is provided in the sewage trough 22. The filter 6 can filter out larger impurities in the dirt to avoid clogging the sewage outlet 23.
[0113] It should be noted that the above-mentioned sewage trough 22 can be stamped out by the sewage pan 2, or can be formed by connecting a trough body with a sewage trough and the sewage pan to form the above-mentioned sewage trough, in which case a sewage outlet connected to the sewage trough is opened on the trough body.
[0114] In some embodiments, reference Figures 20 to 22 The sewage tray 2 is provided with a drainage trough 22 on one side in the length direction of the sewage tray. The cleaning component 32 can be covered on the drainage trough 22.
[0115] It is understandable that due to the setting of the drain trough 22, dirt may remain in the drain trough 22. Covering the drain trough 22 with the cleaning component 32 can prevent the odor generated by the dirt in the drain trough 22 from being emitted, thereby improving the user experience.
[0116] It should be noted that the above-mentioned drainage trough 22 can be stamped from the sewage pan 2, in which case the drainage port 23 is opened on the sewage pan 2. Alternatively, the above-mentioned drainage trough can be formed by connecting a trough body with a drainage trough to the sewage pan, in which case a drainage port connected to the drainage trough is opened on the trough body.
[0117] Furthermore, the sewage pan 2 is provided with a sewage outlet 23 connected to the sewage trough 22 , so that dirt in the sewage pan 2 can be discharged through the sewage trough 22 and the sewage outlet 23 .
[0118] Reference Figures 20 to 22 The above-mentioned cleaning component 32 includes a connecting seat 321 and a cleaning member bracket 322. The connecting seat 321 can rotate relative to the fixed seat 31 around an axis extending along the length direction of the sewage pan. The cleaning member bracket 322 is provided with a cleaning member 3221, and the cleaning member 3221 can abut against the bottom surface of the sewage pan 2.
[0119] The cleaning member 3221 may be a scraper bar, a roller brush, or both a scraper bar and a roller brush, which are not specifically limited here.
[0120] For example, in a specific implementation, referring to Figure 22 The cleaning member 3221 is selected as a scraper bar. When the cleaning component 32 moves, the scraper bar can abut against the bottom surface of the sewage tray 2, thereby scraping the dirt in the sewage tray 2 into the sewage trough 22 on the sewage tray 2 and discharging it through the sewage outlet 23.
[0121] Reference Figure 22 The cleaning member bracket 322 is configured as a cover plate that can be placed on the drain trough 22. When the cover plate abuts against the side wall of the sewage tray 2, a space enclosing the drain trough 22 is formed between the cover plate, the sewage tray 2 and the scraper bar, thereby sealing the drain trough 22 and preventing the release of odor.
[0122] It should be noted that a sealing strip may be provided at the position where the cover plate contacts the sewage tray. When the cover plate contacts the side wall of the sewage tray, the sealing strip is pressed to further improve the sealing performance.
[0123] Furthermore, a filter screen 6 is provided in the sewage trough 22 , and the filter screen 6 can filter out larger impurities in the dirt to avoid clogging the sewage outlet 23 .
[0124] An embodiment of the present application also provides a cleaning system, including a cleaning robot and the cleaning base station in any of the above embodiments. The cleaning robot includes a body and a mop and wiping member arranged at the bottom of the body, and the cleaning component is configured as a washable mop and wiping member.
[0125] The cleaning robot can be detachably arranged on the base station base, and when the cleaning robot is located on the base station base, the wiping member is located above the sewage tray.
[0126] It can be understood that when the cleaning robot is located on the base station base, the wiping member is located above the sewage tray. At this time, the driving structure can drive the cleaning structure to move back and forth in the length direction of the sewage tray, and the wiping member can be cleaned by the cleaning component.
[0127] In some embodiments, the cleaning assembly may include a water sprayer that sprays water onto the mopping and wiping member to rinse it. Alternatively, the cleaning assembly may include a dirt cleaning member that scrapes dirt off the mopping and wiping member during movement, wherein the dirt cleaning member may include at least one of a brush, a scraping bar, or scraping teeth comprising a plurality of spaced-apart tooth-like structures. Alternatively, the cleaning assembly may include both a water sprayer and a dirt cleaning member, which together clean the mopping and wiping member of the cleaning robot.
