The use of "first" and "second" in the description is solely for the purpose of distinguishing technical features and is not to be construed as indicating or implying relative importance, implicitly specifying the number of the indicated technical features, or implicitly specifying the order of the indicated technical features.
[0051] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly defined, terms such as setting, installing, connecting, assembling, and matching should be understood in a broad sense, and technicians in the relevant technical field can reasonably determine the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific content of the technical solution.
[0052] Reference Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the first embodiment of the present invention provides a cleaning device. The cleaning device may include, but is not limited to, a mopping robot, a sweeping and mopping robot, a floor scrubber robot, and other cleaning devices capable of cleaning the floor. Generally speaking, the cleaning device is the cleaning agent in a cleaning system, primarily used to perform cleaning functions. The cleaning system generally also includes a cleaning base station. The cleaning device can return to the cleaning base station for self-cleaning, achieving automated operation and reducing human intervention.
[0053] The following describes the cleaning device in detail using a mopping robot as an example. For ease of explanation, the vertical direction defined below is perpendicular to the ground on which the cleaning device is placed, and the horizontal direction defined below is parallel to the ground on which the cleaning device is placed.
[0054] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, it can be understood that the cleaning device includes a shell 100, a first cleaning component 200 and a drive component 300. Of course, the cleaning device also includes a second cleaning component 400. Among them, the shell 100 serves as the installation body of the cleaning device, and is used to provide support and connection for components such as the first cleaning component 200, the drive component 300, and the second cleaning component 400, so as to achieve the installation and positioning of each component. Specifically, the shell 100 is a roughly flat cylindrical or rectangular parallelepiped structure, and the shell 100 has a side wall 110 located on the circumferential side. The side wall 110 is provided with an opening 111. The opening 111 is located on the rear side of the shell 100 along the moving direction of the cleaning device in the cleaning mode, and the opening 111 extends to the lower end surface and top of the shell 100. The opening 111 can allow the first cleaning component 200 to pass through.
[0055] It can be understood that the first cleaning component 200 is used to clean the surface to be cleaned facing the side wall 110 of the shell 100, such as the surface to be cleaned that is arranged vertically or perpendicular to the ground, such as the skirting board, and the second cleaning component 400 is the core component of the cleaning equipment for completing the floor cleaning operation. When the cleaning equipment is a mopping robot, the second cleaning component 400 can be a mop structure, which can realize the mopping operation of the floor.
[0056] The specific structure of the second cleaning assembly 400 will be described in detail below.
[0057] Reference Figures 3 to 6 As shown, it can be understood that the second cleaning assembly 400 includes a mounting base 410, a cleaning turntable 420 and a second cleaning member 430, wherein the mounting base 410 is configured as a swing arm, the swing arm is located inside the housing 100 and is located on the side of the opening 111 close to the inside of the housing 100, one end of the swing arm is rotatably mounted on the bottom plate of the housing 100, and the rotation axis of the swing arm is arranged in the up-down direction, the cleaning turntable 420 is rotatably mounted on the other end of the swing arm through a rotating shaft 421, and the rotating shaft 421 is parallel to the rotation axis of the swing arm, and the cleaning turntable 420 is located below the housing 100. In order to allow the swing arm to swing, the bottom plate of the housing 100 is provided with an avoidance groove 120 for the rotating shaft 421 to pass through, so as to avoid the rotating shaft 421. The avoidance groove 120 is an arc-shaped groove. When the width of the avoidance groove 120 is relatively narrow, the width of the avoidance groove 120 is exactly equal to or slightly larger than the outer diameter of the rotating shaft 421. The center of the circle containing the inner wall surface of the avoidance groove 120 on the side closest to the swing arm's rotation axis and the center of the circle containing the inner wall surface on the side away from the swing arm's rotation axis both coincide with the swing arm's rotation axis. When the width of the avoidance groove 120 is relatively wide, the inner wall surface of the avoidance groove 120 can be arbitrarily configured, as long as the avoidance groove 120 can clear the rotating shaft 421 when the swing arm swings.
[0058] It is understood that when the second cleaning assembly 400 is a mop structure, the second cleaning member 430 can be a mop, and the second cleaning member 430 is fixedly mounted on the bottom surface of the cleaning turntable 420, that is, the second cleaning member 430 is fixedly mounted on the side of the cleaning turntable 420 facing the ground. For example, the second cleaning member 430 can be glued to the cleaning turntable 420, or fixed to the cleaning turntable 420 by Velcro, so that the second cleaning member 430 can be used to mop the ground. The combination of the second cleaning member 430 and the cleaning turntable 420 is a mop. The cleaning turntable 420 can drive the second cleaning member 430 to rotate to increase the friction of the second cleaning member 430 on the ground, thereby making it easier to wipe off stains on the ground and improving the cleaning effect.
[0059] It is understood that, generally speaking, the cleaning turntable 420 can be driven to rotate by a motor or other driving member through a gear transmission or other transmission method. Therefore, when mopping the floor, the second cleaning member 430 contacts the floor, and the motor or other driving member drives the cleaning turntable 420 to rotate, which in turn drives the second cleaning member 430 to rotate, thereby achieving the second cleaning member 430 wiping the floor and moving with the cleaning device, thus achieving an automatic mopping operation on the floor.
[0060] Reference Figures 3 to 7 As shown, it can be understood that the first cleaning assembly 200 is movably disposed in the housing 100 , and the first cleaning assembly 200 includes a first cleaning member 210 , a connecting member 220 , a rotating member 230 and a first driving member 240 .
[0061] It is understood that the first cleaning assembly 200 is fixedly mounted on the mounting base 410, that is, the first cleaning assembly 200 and the second cleaning assembly 400 are connected as a whole. Specifically, the first cleaning assembly 200 is located on the side of the mounting base 410 close to the opening 111, and the connecting member 220 is fixedly mounted on one end of the mounting base 410 close to the rotating shaft 421 of the cleaning turntable 420. When the mounting base 410 is a swing arm, the connecting member 220 is fixedly mounted on the end of the swing arm away from the rotation axis of the swing arm. It is easy to understand that as the swing arm swings, the first cleaning assembly 200 can pass through the opening 111 to move from the inside of the shell 100 (i.e., the inside of the shell 100 in the lateral direction) to the outside of the shell 100 (i.e., the outside of the shell 100 in the lateral direction) or vice versa. The lateral direction here is a direction perpendicular to the side wall 110 of the shell 100, usually a horizontal direction.
[0062] It is understood that the mounting base 410 can be an extended arm structure, the first driving member 240 is a motor, the rotating portion of the first driving member 240 is located on the outer periphery of the first driving member 240, and the rotating member 230 is a sleeve structure. The first driving member 240 is fixedly mounted on the end of the mounting base 410 away from the swing arm, and the rotating member 230 is sleeved and fixed to the rotating portion of the outer periphery of the first driving member 240, thereby connecting the first driving member 240 and the rotating member 230 and allowing the rotating member 230 to rotate through the first driving member 240. It can also be understood that the rotating member 230 and the mounting base 410 are in rotational coordination. In this way, the internal circuit of the first driving member 240 can be shielded by the rotating member 230, reducing the risk of water ingress and improving safety.
[0063] It is easy to understand that the mounting base 410 and the connector 220 can serve as mounting carriers for the connecting wires of the first driving member 240. The connecting wires generally include power lines and communication lines, so that the first driving member 240 can be electrically connected and signal-connected to the electronic control system of the cleaning equipment, thereby powering the first driving member 240 and controlling the operation of the first driving member 240. For example, the connector 220 has an inner cavity, and the connecting wires of the first driving member 240 are passed through the inner cavity to hide and protect the connecting wires.
[0064] It is understood that, generally speaking, a similar surface to be cleaned, such as a skirting, is arranged vertically or perpendicular to the ground and faces the side wall 110 of the housing 100. For ease of explanation, the following description uses the skirting as an example of the surface to be cleaned. The rotation axis of the rotating member 230 is parallel to the skirting. When the skirting is perpendicular to the ground, the rotation axis of the rotating member 230 is arranged in the vertical direction, that is, the plane on which the rotation axis of the rotating member 230 lies is perpendicular to the ground. It is easy to understand that the rotation axis of the rotating member 230 is parallel to the rotation axis 421 of the cleaning turntable 420.
[0065] Of course, the rotation axis of the rotating member 230 may also be parallel to the surface to be cleaned and arranged tilted relative to the up and down directions.
[0066] Reference Figure 7As shown, it is understood that the first cleaning member 210 can be a mop-shaped structure and cylindrical. The outer layer of the first cleaning member 210 can be made of a flexible material such as flannel or sponge that has good water absorption and flexible deformation capabilities and easily retains moisture. The first cleaning member 210 is mounted on the outer peripheral wall of the rotating member 230 and fixed to the rotating member 230. For example, the first cleaning member 210 and the rotating member 230 have an interference fit, relying on friction to achieve relative fixation; or the first cleaning member 210 is adhered to the outer peripheral wall of the rotating member 230 using glue, Velcro, or the like. It is easy to understand that the combination of the rotating member 230 and the first cleaning member 210 constitutes a roller brush. Therefore, when the first driving member 240 drives the rotating member 230 to rotate, the rotating member 230 can drive the first cleaning member 210 to rotate, wiping and cleaning the skirting board. This can also increase the friction between the first cleaning member 210 and the skirting board, making it easier to wipe away stains and improving the cleaning effect. In addition, the rotation of the first cleaning member 210 can reduce secondary contamination of the skirting board. The first cleaning member 210 can be used to clean the skirting board in a wet state or a dry state.
[0067] Reference Figure 2 As shown, it can be understood that the first cleaning member 210 includes a cleaning surface 211. The cleaning surface 211 is the portion of the first cleaning member 210 that contacts the baseboard when the first cleaning member 210 cleans the baseboard. The cleaning surface 211 faces outward in the lateral direction of the housing 100, that is, the cleaning surface 211 faces outward in the horizontal direction of the housing 100. Because the first cleaning member 210 can rotate with the rotating member 230, the cleaning surface 211 will change with the rotation of the first cleaning member 210. Any portion of the first cleaning member 210 that moves to contact the baseboard can become the cleaning surface 211.
[0068] Reference Figures 3 to 6 As shown, it can be understood that the drive assembly 300 is mounted within the housing 100 and is used to drive the first cleaning member 210 to move out of the housing 100 through the opening 111. Specifically, the drive assembly 300 is connected to the swing arm and is used to drive the swing arm to swing about its rotation axis. Because the first cleaning assembly 200 is fixedly mounted to the mounting base 410 (i.e., the swing arm), that is, the first cleaning assembly 200 and the second cleaning assembly 400 are connected as a whole, the first cleaning assembly 200 can be indirectly driven to move by the drive assembly 300 driving the swing arm.
[0069] It is understood that the drive assembly 300 includes a second drive member 310 and a drive gear 320. The second drive member 310 can be a motor or a rotary cylinder, etc. The second drive member 310 is fixedly mounted to the housing 100 and is located on one side of the swing arm. The drive gear 320 is mounted at the output end of the second drive member 310. The second drive member 310 is capable of driving the drive gear 320 to rotate, and the rotation axis of the drive gear 320 is parallel to the rotation axis of the swing arm. Correspondingly, the side of the swing arm is provided with a tooth portion 411, which is arranged around the rotation axis of the swing arm. Generally speaking, the tooth portion 411 surrounds the rotation axis of the swing arm and meshes with the drive gear 320. Therefore, the second driving member 310 drives the driving gear 320 to rotate, and the driving gear 320 cooperates with the tooth portion 411 of the swing arm to drive the swing arm to swing around its own rotation axis, so that the first cleaning component 200 installed at the end of the swing arm away from its own rotation axis is moved from the inside of the shell 100 through the opening 111 to the outside of the shell 100, that is, the first cleaning member 210 is moved out of the shell 100 through the opening 111, so that the cleaning surface 211 can contact the skirting board to wipe and clean the skirting board.
[0070] Of course, it is understood that when the second driving member 310 rotates in the reverse direction, it can drive the swing arm to swing in the reverse direction. At this time, the first cleaning assembly 200 moves in the reverse direction, that is, from the outside of the housing 100 to the inside of the housing 100 through the opening 111. When the skirting does not need to be cleaned, the first cleaning assembly 200 is returned to the inside of the housing 100 to prevent the first cleaning assembly 200 from protruding outward from the side wall 110 of the housing 100 and affecting the movement of the cleaning device.
[0071] It is easy to understand that when driving the first cleaning component 200 to move from the inside of the shell 100 through the opening 111 to the outside of the shell 100, the first cleaning member 210 can be moved out to the outside of the shell 100 as a whole, or the part of the first cleaning member 210 close to the outside is moved out to the outside of the shell 100. It is only necessary to ensure that the cleaning surface 211 of the first cleaning member 210 can contact the skirting to achieve cleaning.
[0072] It will be appreciated that in the cleaning device, by mounting the combination of the cleaning turntable 420 and the second cleaning member 430 (i.e., the mopping disc) on the swing arm, and by driving the swing arm to swing via the second driving member 310, the second cleaning member 430 can be driven to move outward to protrude from the sidewall 110 of the housing 100, thereby enabling the second cleaning member 430 to clean the junction between the baseboard and the floor or the corner. Furthermore, the first cleaning assembly 200 is mounted on the swing arm, so that the first cleaning assembly 200 and the second cleaning assembly 400 are connected as a single unit. When the second driving member 310 drives the swing arm to swing and move the second cleaning member 430 outward, it simultaneously drives at least a portion of the first cleaning member 210 to move outside the housing 100 to clean the baseboard. This eliminates the need for a separate driving mechanism for the first cleaning assembly 200 and eliminates the need for major structural adjustments to the internal structure of the housing 100. This simplifies the internal structure of the housing 100, making the overall structure more compact and reducing assembly difficulty, thereby reducing manufacturing costs.
[0073] When the skirting board needs to be cleaned, the second driving member 310 drives the swing arm to swing toward the outside of the shell 100, so that the second cleaning component 400 and the first cleaning component 200 both move toward the outside of the shell 100, and the second cleaning member 430 protrudes outward from the side wall 110 of the shell 100, and the first cleaning member 210 moves out to the outside of the shell 100 through the opening 111, and the cleaning surface 211 is located outside the side wall 110 of the shell 100. The first driving member 240 drives the rotating member 230 and the first cleaning member 210 to rotate. The cleaning device moves toward the direction close to the skirting board until the cleaning surface 211 contacts the skirting board. It is easy to understand that the three of driving the swing arm to swing, driving the first cleaning member 210 to rotate, and moving the cleaning device toward the direction close to the skirting board can be carried out simultaneously, or the three can be carried out one after another in any combination. At this point, as the cleaning surface 211 of the first cleaning member 210 contacts the skirting board, it rotates and wipes the skirting board. Driven by the first driving member 240 to rotate, the first cleaning member 210 increases friction against the skirting board, making it easier to wipe off stains and reducing secondary contamination of the skirting board, resulting in more effective cleaning and improved cleaning results. The cleaning device then moves along the long side of the skirting board, causing the first cleaning member 210 to also move along the long side of the skirting board, mopping and wiping the skirting board, completing the automatic cleaning of the entire skirting board. After cleaning is complete, the first cleaning assembly 200 and the second cleaning assembly 400 are reset. This reduces human intervention, meaning the user can clean the skirting board without having to manually attach a mop to the cleaning device. This completely frees up hands, effectively improving cleaning efficiency and results. Because the first cleaning member 210 is always attached to the cleaning device, there is no risk of loss.
[0074] It is easy to understand that when there is no need to clean the skirting and only the second cleaning member 430 is needed to clean the floor, the first cleaning assembly 200 remains inside the housing 100, that is, the first cleaning member 210 does not protrude outward from the side wall 110 of the housing 100. At this time, the second cleaning member 430 also does not protrude outward from the side wall 110 of the housing 100. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the first cleaning member 210 and the second cleaning member 430 from interfering with furniture on the floor and affecting the normal movement of the cleaning device, thereby causing the floor to be not cleaned properly.
[0075] It is understandable that in other embodiments, the difference from the above embodiment is that the first driving member 240 may not be included in the first cleaning assembly 200. In this case, the rotating member 230 is rotatably mounted on the connecting member 220. Therefore, the combination of the rotating member 230 and the first cleaning member 210 (i.e., the roller brush) can rotate freely without a driving source to drive it to rotate. When cleaning the skirting board, the first cleaning member 210 contacts the skirting board and moves along the long side of the skirting board as the cleaning equipment moves. The first cleaning member 210 also moves along the long side of the skirting board and drags the skirting board. During this process, the first cleaning member 210 can rotate synchronously or not. This can also achieve automatic cleaning of the entire skirting board, reduce human intervention, and improve cleaning efficiency and effect.
[0076] It will be appreciated that in other embodiments, the difference from the above embodiment lies in that the combination of the first cleaning member 210 and the rotating member 230 can also be similar to the combination of the second cleaning member 430 and the cleaning turntable 420, that is, the combination of the first cleaning member 210 and the rotating member 230 can also be similar to the structure of a mopping disc, and the shape of the combination of the first cleaning member 210 and the rotating member 230 can be circular, rectangular, or other polygonal. In this case, the rotating member 230 is rotatably mounted on the connecting member 220, and the rotation axis of the rotating member 230 is perpendicular to the baseboard. For example, if the rotation axis of the rotating member 230 is arranged horizontally, the first cleaning member 210 is fixedly mounted on the end surface of the rotating member 230 facing the outside of the housing 100, and the wall surface of the first cleaning member 210 facing the outside of the housing 100 is the cleaning surface 211. Similarly, when cleaning the baseboard, the first cleaning member 210 contacts the baseboard. As the cleaning device moves along the long side of the baseboard, the first cleaning member 210 also moves along the long side of the baseboard to mop the baseboard. This can also achieve automatic cleaning of the entire skirting board, reduce human intervention, and improve cleaning efficiency and effect.
[0077] When the first cleaning assembly 200 includes the first driving member 240, during the process of cleaning the skirting board, the first driving member 240 drives the rotating member 230 and the first cleaning member 210 to rotate, thereby increasing the wiping frequency of the skirting board by the first cleaning member 210, making it easier to wipe off stains, cleaning more thoroughly, and improving the cleaning effect.
[0078] When the first cleaning assembly 200 does not include the first driving member 240, although the rotating member 230 and the first cleaning member 210 can rotate relative to the connecting member 220, generally speaking, the first cleaning member 210 does not rotate during the baseboard cleaning process. However, this still allows for automatic cleaning of the entire baseboard, reducing human intervention and achieving high cleaning efficiency and excellent cleaning results. It will be readily understood that in this case, the rotating member 230 can also be fixedly mounted to the connecting member 220, meaning that the first cleaning member 210 cannot rotate.
[0079] It is understandable that in other embodiments, the difference from the above embodiments is that the first cleaning member 210 may be a brush, which can clean dust, debris, etc. on the skirting board to achieve automatic cleaning.
[0080] It is understood that in other embodiments, the difference from the above embodiment is that the connecting member 220 of the first cleaning assembly 200 can be a swing arm and rotatably mounted on the housing 100, rather than being fixedly mounted on the mounting base 410. In other words, the movement processes of the first cleaning assembly 200 and the second cleaning assembly 400 are relatively independent. The drive assembly 300 is connected to the connecting member 220 and can drive the connecting member 220 to swing so that the first cleaning member 210 can be moved out of the housing 100 through the opening 111. The connection method between the drive assembly 300 and the connecting member 220 can refer to the connection method between the drive assembly 300 and the mounting base 410 described above, and will not be repeated here. In this case, the mounting base 410 can be fixedly mounted on the housing 100, or driven to swing by another drive member. Therefore, the first cleaning assembly 200 and the second cleaning assembly 400 are relatively independent. When cleaning the skirting, only the first cleaning member 210 can be driven to move out of the housing 100 to perform the mopping operation on the skirting, reducing human intervention, improving cleaning efficiency, and achieving good cleaning results. Alternatively, the first cleaning member 210 and the second cleaning member 430 are driven to move toward the outside of the housing 100 and protrude from the side wall 110 of the housing 100 .
[0081] It is understood that in other embodiments, when the first cleaning assembly 200 and the second cleaning assembly 400 are connected as one, the combination of the first cleaning assembly 200 and the second cleaning assembly 400 can be moved in a straight line to move the first cleaning assembly 200 and the second cleaning assembly 400 toward the outside of the housing 100. Specifically, the mounting seat 410 can be a slide and slidably mounted on the housing 100 in a horizontal direction, and the second driving member 310 can be a cylinder and connected to the mounting seat 410 to drive the combination of the first cleaning assembly 200 and the second cleaning assembly 400 to move toward the outside of the housing 100. Alternatively, the second driving member 310 can be a motor, and the driving assembly 300 further includes a screw and a nut pair, the screw being parallel to the sliding direction of the mounting seat 410 and connected to the output end of the motor, and the nut pair being fixedly mounted on the mounting seat 410 and threadedly connected to the screw, so that the motor can drive the combination of the first cleaning assembly 200 and the second cleaning assembly 400 to move toward the outside of the housing 100. Thereby, the first cleaning member 210 can be moved from the interior of the housing 100 to the exterior of the housing 100 through the opening 111 , so as to clean the skirting board, which will not be described in detail here.
[0082] It is understood that in other embodiments, when the movement processes of the first cleaning assembly 200 and the second cleaning assembly 400 are relatively independent, the first cleaning assembly 200 and the second cleaning assembly 400 can also move in a straight line toward the outside of the housing 100. For example, the connecting member 220 and the mounting seat 410 can both be slides and are respectively slidably mounted on the housing 100 in a horizontal direction and driven by corresponding driving members. The connection method thereof can refer to the corresponding connection method of the embodiment in which the first cleaning assembly 200 and the second cleaning assembly 400 are connected as one body, and will not be repeated here.
[0083] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it can be understood that the first cleaning member 210 is positioned above the second cleaning member 430, and that, in horizontal projection, the projection of the first cleaning member 210 at least partially overlaps with the projection of the second cleaning member 430. For example, the first cleaning member 210 is positioned directly above the second cleaning member 430, and in horizontal projection, the projection of the first cleaning member 210 falls within the projection of the second cleaning member 430. Alternatively, in horizontal projection, a portion of the projection of the first cleaning member 210 lies outside the projection of the second cleaning member 430, while another portion lies within the projection of the second cleaning member 430. Therefore, when the first cleaning member 210 is mopping the baseboard, some dirt (such as dirty water, debris, etc.) on the first cleaning member 210 can fall onto the second cleaning member 430, preventing it from falling onto the ground and causing secondary contamination, thereby effectively ensuring the cleaning effect of the cleaning equipment.
[0084] Reference Figure 1As shown, it can be understood that the cleaning device has a cleaning mode. Cleaning mode is the state in which at least part of the first cleaning member 210 and at least part of the second cleaning member 430 are moved outward from the side of the housing 100. In this state, the cleaning device can use the first cleaning member 210 to mop the skirting board. In cleaning mode, both the first cleaning member 210 and the second cleaning member 430 contact the skirting board. In other words, the cleaning surface 211 of the first cleaning member 210 contacts the portion of the skirting board above the ground, and the second cleaning member 430 contacts the junction between the skirting board and the ground. Therefore, the first cleaning member 210 and the second cleaning member 430 can simultaneously perform a comprehensive mopping operation on the skirting board, effectively improving the cleaning effect.
[0085] Reference Figure 1 As shown, it can be understood that, in cleaning mode, the first cleaning member 210 is located at the front side of the rotation axis of the cleaning turntable 420 along the moving direction of the cleaning device. That is, when the cleaning device is mopping the skirting, the first cleaning member 210 is always located at the front side of the cleaning turntable 420 along the moving direction of the cleaning device. In combination with the fact that both the first cleaning member 210 and the second cleaning member 430 are in contact with the skirting, during the process of the first cleaning member 210 mopping the skirting, even if some dirt (such as sewage, debris, etc.) falls down, the dirt will fall directly to the second cleaning member 430, or even if the dirt falls to the ground, the second cleaning member 430 can promptly clean the dirt that has fallen to the ground, thereby effectively avoiding secondary contamination of the ground and effectively ensuring the cleaning effect of the cleaning device.
[0086] Reference Figure 7As shown, it can be understood that in an embodiment where the first cleaning component 200 and the second cleaning component 400 are connected as one, and the combination of the rotating member 230 and the first cleaning member 210 is a roller brush (or the first cleaning member 210 is replaced by a brush), since the height position of the mounting seat 410 in the up and down directions is approximately the middle and lower position of the shell 100, and the height range of the skirting board in the up and down directions is generally extending from the bottom of the shell 100 to the bottom of the shell 100, at the same time, in order to simplify the structure of the connecting member 220, the connecting member 220 is an extension arm structure arranged in the horizontal direction. In order to ensure that the first cleaning member 210 can completely drag the skirting board, the first cleaning member 210 needs to be provided on both the upper and lower sides of the connecting member 220. To this end, the rotating part of the first driving member 240 includes two parts respectively located on the upper and lower sides of the connecting member 220. Correspondingly, the rotating member 230 includes a first rotating section 231 and a second rotating section 232 arranged in sequence along the direction of its rotation axis, and the first rotating section 231 and the second rotating section 232 are respectively located on the upper and lower sides of the connecting member 220, that is, the first rotating section 231 and the second rotating section 232 are respectively located on both sides of the connecting member 220 along the direction of the rotation axis of the rotating member 230, wherein the first rotating section 231 is sleeved and fixed on the rotating part of the first driving member 240 located on the upper side of the connecting member 220, and the second rotating section 232 is sleeved and fixed on the rotating part of the first driving member 240 located on the lower side of the connecting member 220. Similarly, the first cleaning member 210 includes a first cleaning section 212 and a second cleaning section 213, which are arranged sequentially along the rotation axis of the rotating member 230. The first cleaning section 212 is sleeved onto the outer wall of the first rotating section 231, and the second cleaning section 213 is sleeved onto the outer wall of the second rotating section 232. In other words, the first cleaning section 212 is located above the second cleaning section 213. Therefore, the height of the first cleaning member 210 matches the vertical height of the skirting board, allowing for complete mopping of the skirting board and improving cleaning effectiveness. Furthermore, the first cleaning member 210 is easily disassembled for cleaning.
[0087] Reference Figure 6 As shown, it can be understood that, generally speaking, along the direction of the rotation axis of the rotating member 230, the height of the first rotating section 231 is greater than the height of the second rotating section 232, so that under the premise that the height position of the mounting base 410 in the up and down directions is approximately in the middle and lower position of the shell 100, the height of the first cleaning member 210 can match the height of the skirting board in the up and down directions to improve the cleaning effect.
[0088] When the first cleaning member 210 cleans the skirting, it is usually necessary to wet the first cleaning member 210 to achieve an ideal cleaning effect. The current cleaning equipment needs to return to the cleaning base station to wet the first cleaning member 210, which wastes power and affects cleaning efficiency.
[0089] For this purpose, refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, it can be understood that the cleaning device further includes a water replenishing component 500 , which is installed on the shell 100 .
[0090] Specifically, the water replenishment assembly 500 includes a water replenishment tank 510, a pump body 520, and a water replenishment member 530. The water replenishment tank 510 is fixedly mounted to the housing 100 and is used to store clean water. The pump body 520 is mounted on the top of the water replenishment tank 510. The water replenishment member 530 is located on one side of the first cleaning member 210 and spaced apart from the first cleaning member 210 to prevent the water replenishment member 530 from squeezing the first cleaning member 210 and causing water loss on the first cleaning member 210. For example, the water replenishment member 530 can be located on the upper side, lower side, front side, rear side, or side that is tilted upward or downward of the first cleaning member 210. It is readily understood that when the cleaning device returns to the cleaning base station, the water replenishment tank 510 can be replenished by the cleaning base station to ensure sufficient clean water in the water replenishment tank 510 for each cleaning session.
[0091] The water replenishing member 530 can be a panel structure. The water replenishing member 530 is provided with at least one water replenishing port 531, which faces the first cleaning member 210. The water inlet of the pump body 520 is connected to the water replenishing tank 510 via a water pipe, and the water outlet of the pump body 520 is connected to the water replenishing port 531 via another water pipe. As a result, the pump body 520 can transport clean water from the water replenishing tank 510 to the water replenishing port 531 and spray it toward the first cleaning member 210 from the water replenishing port 531, thereby wetting the first cleaning member 210 to clean the skirting board and achieve a better cleaning effect. Therefore, the cleaning device does not need to return to the cleaning base station to wet the first cleaning member 210, which helps save power, reduce cleaning operation time, thereby improving cleaning efficiency and increasing the endurance of the cleaning device.
[0092] It is easy to understand that for the first cleaning component 200 of any of the above-mentioned embodiments, the water replenishing part 530 can be located on any side of the first cleaning part 210, such as the upper side, lower side, front side, rear side, side inclined upward or downward, etc. of the first cleaning part 210 as mentioned above. It is only necessary to ensure that the water replenishing port 531 can spray clean water to the first cleaning part 210 to wet the first cleaning part 210, and the water replenishing part 530 does not affect the cleaning surface 211 of the first cleaning part 210 from contacting the skirting.
[0093] The following is a further explanation of the water replenishment component by taking an embodiment in which the first cleaning component 200 and the second cleaning component 400 are connected as one, the combination of the rotating member 230 and the first cleaning member 210 is a roller brush, and the rotation axis of the roller brush is arranged in the up and down direction (or the first cleaning member 210 is replaced by a brush) as an example.
[0094] Reference Figure 8and Figure 9 As shown, it can be understood that the water replenishing member 530 is provided with multiple water replenishing ports 531, which are spaced apart along the rotation axis of the rotating member 230. In other words, the multiple water replenishing ports 531 are spaced apart in the vertical direction. The water replenishing member 530 is also provided with a water replenishing chamber 532, which is connected to the multiple water replenishing ports 531. The water replenishing chamber 532 is also connected to the water outlet of the pump body 520, thereby connecting the multiple water replenishing ports 531 to the water outlet of the pump body 520. Therefore, the provision of the water replenishing chamber 532 enables the multiple water replenishing ports 531 to simultaneously spray water toward the first cleaning member 210, quickly wetting the first cleaning member 210 and improving the cleaning effect of the skirting board. Furthermore, because the multiple water replenishing ports 531 are spaced apart in the vertical direction, the water replenishing range can cover the entire height range of the first cleaning member 210 as much as possible, allowing the first cleaning member 210 to be fully wetted, further improving the cleaning effect of the skirting board.
[0095] It is easy to understand that the amount of water replenished each time by the water replenishment port 531 can be controlled by timing the running time of the pump body 520 through the electronic control system.
[0096] Reference Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, it can be understood that the water replenishing member 530 is located on one side of the opening 111 along its own radial direction, so that when the first cleaning member 210 moves out to the outside of the shell 100, it is convenient for the water replenishing port 531 to spray water on the first cleaning member 210. Specifically, the water replenishing member 530 is located at one end of the opening 111 along the circumference of the shell 100. In this embodiment, the water replenishing member 530 is located at the front end of the opening 111 along the moving direction of the cleaning device, and the water replenishing port 531 is facing the rear of the moving direction of the cleaning device. Generally speaking, during the process of the first cleaning member 210 cleaning the skirting, the rotation direction of the first cleaning member 210 at the cleaning surface 211 is opposite to the moving direction of the cleaning device, so as to increase the friction of the first cleaning member 210 on the skirting and improve the cleaning effect. Therefore, it can also be understood that the water replenishing member 530 is located on the rear side of the cleaning surface 211 along the rotation direction of the first cleaning member 210. Therefore, when the first cleaning member 210 is cleaning the skirting board, after the water supply port 531 sprays clean water toward the first cleaning member 210, the part of the first cleaning member 210 that has just been wetted immediately contacts the skirting board, so that the first cleaning member 210 can clean the skirting board in a wet state in time, avoid the loss of clean water, and effectively ensure the cleaning effect of the skirting board.
[0097] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 8As shown, it is understood that the housing 100 further includes a baffle 130, which is located within the housing 100, i.e., the baffle 130 is located within the cleaning device. Specifically, the baffle 130 is arranged around the avoidance groove 120, and its ends extend to the ends of the opening 111 along the circumference of the housing 100, so that the first cleaning assembly 200 and the rotating shaft 421 and mounting seat 410 of the cleaning turntable 420 are all located within the space surrounded by the baffle 130. It is easy to understand that the baffle 130 is arranged around the rotation axis of the rotating member 230, the swing arm and the first cleaning assembly 200 are located on the same side of the baffle 130, and the drive assembly 300 (i.e., the second drive member 310 and the drive gear 320) is located on the side of the baffle 130 facing away from the rotating member 230, i.e., on the other side of the baffle 130. To allow the drive gear 320 to mesh with the teeth 411 on the swing arm, the baffle 130 is provided with a clearance hole 131. The teeth 411 extend through the clearance hole 131 and mesh with the drive gear 320, or the drive gear 320 extends through the clearance hole 131 and meshes with the teeth 411. Therefore, by providing the baffle 130, when the first cleaning member 210 cleans the skirting board, the baffle 130 can prevent dirty water and dirt from being thrown into the interior of the housing 100, thereby preventing contamination of the drive assembly 300 and other components (such as the electronic control system). This not only ensures safety and prevents damage to the electronic control system, but also keeps the interior of the housing 100 clean.
[0098] Reference Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, it is understood that the water replenishing member 530 and the baffle 130 are integrally structured. That is, the water replenishing member 530 is located at the end of the baffle 130 that extends to the opening 111. It is also readily understood that the water replenishing port 531 can be provided on the baffle 130, and the water replenishing chamber 532 can be formed by the space defined between the cover body mounted on the side of the baffle 130 facing away from the first cleaning member 210 and the baffle 130. This makes the overall structure more compact, simplifies the structure, and improves assembly efficiency.
[0099] After the first cleaning member 210 cleans the skirting board, some dirt will remain in the first cleaning member 210. If the first cleaning member 210 is not cleaned, the cleaning effect of the skirting board will be affected next time. In the related art, the user needs to remove the first cleaning member 210 for cleaning, which is cumbersome and cannot achieve fully automatic cleaning, affecting the user experience.
[0100] Therefore, in this embodiment, the first cleaning member 210 is self-cleaned by a cleaning base station. The structure of the cleaning base station is described in detail below.
[0101] Reference Figure 10As shown, it can be understood that the cleaning base station includes a base station body 600, which is a base structure. The base station body 600 includes a base 610 and a side plate 620, and the base station body 600 is provided with a receiving cavity 630, wherein the base 610 is configured as the bottom wall of the receiving cavity 630, and the side plate 620 is configured as the side wall of the receiving cavity 630. Specifically, the side plate 620 is connected to the upper end surface of the base 610 and has a semi-enclosed structure. The side plate 620 is arranged around a reference axis arranged in the up-down direction, and the direction around the reference axis is defined as the circumference of the receiving cavity 630.
[0102] Reference Figure 10 As shown, it can be understood that, along the circumference of the accommodating chamber 630, an entrance 660 of the accommodating chamber 630 is defined between the two ends of the side plate 620, and the cleaning equipment can enter the accommodating chamber 630 or move out of the accommodating chamber 630 through the entrance 660. Generally speaking, the base 610 includes a ramp 611 located at the entrance 660, so that after cleaning is completed, the cleaning equipment can be moved from the ground to the accommodating chamber 630 via the ramp 611, or when cleaning is needed, the cleaning equipment can be moved from the accommodating chamber 630 to the ground via the ramp 611.
[0103] Reference Figure 11 As shown, it is understood that a cleaning area 640 is provided on the inner wall surface of the side panel 620 (i.e., the wall surface facing the accommodating cavity 630, and also the inner wall surface of the accommodating cavity 630). The cleaning area 640 is used to achieve self-cleaning of the first cleaning member 210, that is, to remove residue from the first cleaning member 210. Specifically, the cleaning area 640 is located on one side of the entrance 660 of the accommodating cavity 630. The outer contour of the cleaning area 640 can be circular, rectangular, or other polygonal. Generally speaking, the outer contour of the cleaning area 640 matches the outer contour of the orthographic projection of the first cleaning member 210 on the cleaning area 640. For example, in an embodiment where the combination of the rotating member 230 and the first cleaning member 210 is a roller brush, and the rotation axis of the roller brush is arranged in a vertical direction, the outer contour of the cleaning area 640 is rectangular. For an embodiment in which the combination of the rotating member 230 and the first cleaning member 210 is similar to a mopping plate and the rotation axis of the rotating member 230 is arranged in the horizontal direction, if the shape of the combination of the first cleaning member 210 and the rotating member 230 is circular, the outer contour of the cleaning area 640 is circular; if the shape of the combination of the first cleaning member 210 and the rotating member 230 is polygonal, the outer contour of the cleaning area 640 is polygonal. This will not be further described here.
[0104] Of course, the outline of the cleaning area 640 may not match the outline of the orthographic projection of the first cleaning member 210 on the cleaning area 640 , as long as the orthographic projection of the first cleaning member 210 on the cleaning area 640 falls within the cleaning area 640 .
[0105] Reference Figure 12 As shown, it can be understood that the side plate 620 is provided with a plurality of protrusions 621, and the protrusions 621 are provided to protrude toward the accommodating cavity 630. The plurality of protrusions 621 are all located in the cleaning area 640. The protrusions 621 can be in a hemispherical, cylindrical, or other shapes. Among the plurality of protrusions 621, at least some of the protrusions 621 are arranged sequentially from the top of the cleaning area 640 to the bottom of the cleaning area 640. Specifically, the plurality of protrusions 621 can be arranged in a rectangular array; or arranged in a diffuse shape from the center to the periphery; or the plurality of protrusions 621 can be divided into a plurality of groups of protrusions 621 arranged at intervals along the circumference of the accommodating cavity 630, and the plurality of protrusions 621 of each group are arranged at intervals in the up-down direction, and the plurality of protrusions 621 of the two adjacent groups are staggered. The arrangement of the plurality of protrusions 621 is not specifically limited here, and it is only necessary to ensure that a portion of the protrusions 621 are arranged at intervals in the up-down direction.
[0106] Reference Figure 12 As shown, it can be understood that the protrusion 621 is used to interfere with the first cleaning member 210 and clean dirt (i.e., residue) on the first cleaning member 210 through relative movement between the two. Based on this, since the protrusion 621 is in a fixed state, for the embodiment in which the first cleaning member 210 is driven to rotate by the first driving member 240, the protrusion 621 can clean the first cleaning member 210, thereby achieving self-cleaning of the first cleaning member 210.
[0107] After the cleaning device returns to the accommodating chamber 630 via the ramp 611 and the entrance 660, part or all of the structure of the cleaning area 640 is arranged corresponding to the first cleaning member 210. The second driving member 310 drives the first cleaning assembly 200 to move toward the exterior of the housing 100, causing the first cleaning member 210 to move from the interior of the housing 100 to the exterior of the housing 100 through the opening 111 until the first cleaning member 210 contacts the protrusion 621 of the cleaning area 640. The first driving member 240 drives the first cleaning member 210 to rotate, causing the first cleaning member 210 to move relative to the protrusion 621. The protrusion 621 uses the friction between the protrusion 621 and the first cleaning member 210 to scrape dirt, such as dust and debris, off the first cleaning member 210. It is easy to understand that as the first cleaning member 210 rotates, under the action of centrifugal force, some dirt will naturally separate from the first cleaning member 210, especially dehydrating the first cleaning member 210. At the same time, the first cleaning member 210 will squeeze the cleaning area 640, thereby squeezing out the water on the first cleaning member 210. This continues until the first cleaning member 210 is clean. The judgment standard for cleanliness here can be that the running time of the first cleaning member 210 contacting the protrusion 621 and rotating reaches a set time. After the first cleaning member 210 is cleaned, the first cleaning member 210 stops rotating, and the second driving member 310 drives the first cleaning member 210 to reset inside the housing 100. In this way, the first cleaning member 210 is cleaned, that is, the first cleaning member 210 is self-cleaned, reducing human intervention. That is, there is no need for the user to disassemble the first cleaning member 210 for cleaning, reducing the user's operation and labor, freeing the user's hands, and improving the user experience. At the same time, the first cleaning member 210 remains in a clean state after self-cleaning, so as to ensure that the skirting line can be cleaned when the skirting line is cleaned next time or the skirting line is cleaned for the second time, thereby ensuring the cleaning effect.
[0108] For the first cleaning member 210 used to clean the skirting board, the first cleaning member 210 has a certain height. By arranging at least part of the protrusions 621 at intervals in the up and down directions, the part of the protrusions 621 can cover the height range of the first cleaning member 210, thereby being able to clean the first cleaning member 210 more comprehensively and effectively improving the self-cleaning effect of the first cleaning member 210.
[0109] Reference Figure 12As shown, it can be understood that at least some of the protrusions 621 are provided with water spray holes 622, and the base station body 600 is provided with a water outlet cavity 623 located on the outer wall surface of the side plate 620 (i.e., the wall surface facing away from the accommodating cavity 630, which is also the outer wall surface of the accommodating cavity 630), and the water outlet cavity 623 is connected to the multiple water spray holes 622. Specifically, all protrusions 621 can be provided with water spray holes 622, or only a portion of the multiple protrusions 621 arranged in the vertical direction can be provided with water spray holes 622. In this embodiment, a row of multiple protrusions 621 arranged in the vertical direction located in the middle position of the cleaning area 640 along the circumference of the accommodating cavity 630 is provided with water spray holes 622 to cover the height range of the first cleaning member 210.
[0110] Reference Figure 13 As shown, it can be understood that the water outlet cavity 623 can be formed by the space defined between the cover body fixed to the outer peripheral wall of the side plate 620 and the outer peripheral wall of the side plate 620.
[0111] Of course, in other embodiments, the combination of the water outlet cavity 623 and the plurality of protrusions 621 with the water spray holes 622 can be an integrated water spray panel, which can be installed in the cleaning area 640 of the side panel 620.
[0112] Reference Figure 10 As shown, it will be understood that the cleaning base station also includes a water tank 800, which is mounted on the base 610 and connected to the water outlet chamber 623. Generally speaking, the water tank 800 is located on the top of the cleaning base station and can supply water to the water outlet chamber 623. Specifically, the water tank 800 is used to store clean water for delivery to the second cleaning element 430, enabling self-cleaning of the second cleaning element 430. The water tank 800 is also connected to the water outlet chamber 623 via a water pump and a water pipe. Therefore, the water in the water tank 800 can be pumped by the water pump through the water pipe to the water outlet chamber 623, whereupon the clean water can be sprayed out of the water spray hole 622.
[0113] In other embodiments, the side panel 620 is not provided with a protrusion 621 located in the cleaning area 640. The side panel 620 is only provided with a plurality of water spray holes 622 located in the cleaning area 640, so that clean water can be sprayed toward the first cleaning member 210 through the water spray holes 622 to rinse the first cleaning member 210 and wash away the residue on the first cleaning member 210, and also to achieve self-cleaning of the first cleaning member 210.
[0114] During the self-cleaning process of the first cleaning member 210, the water spray holes 622 spray clean water toward the first cleaning member 210, wetting it and making it moist, making it easier to scrape off dirt and debris. This also allows the first cleaning member 210 to be rinsed. Therefore, the clean water in the water tank 800 used to clean the second cleaning member 430 can be directly used to self-clean the first cleaning member 210, eliminating the need for an additional water storage container. This simplifies the structure of the cleaning station, allows the first cleaning member 210 to be cleaned more thoroughly, and effectively improves the self-cleaning effect of the first cleaning member 210.
[0115] Reference Figure 12 As shown, it can be understood that the cleaning area 640 is recessed in a direction away from the accommodating cavity 630. Specifically, the cleaning area 640 is recessed outward relative to the inner wall surface of the side plate 620, so that a cavity 624 is formed on the side plate 620, with its opening facing the accommodating cavity 630, and the protrusion 621 is located on the inner wall surface of the cavity 624 facing the accommodating cavity 630. The cavity 624 can accommodate at least part of the structure of the first cleaning member 210. When the first cleaning member 210 is performing self-cleaning, for embodiments in which the combination of the rotating member 230 and the first cleaning member 210 is a roller brush and the rotation axis of the roller brush is arranged in the vertical direction, the portion of the first cleaning member 210 away from the housing 100 is accommodated in the cavity 624; for embodiments in which the combination of the rotating member 230 and the first cleaning member 210 is a structure similar to a mopping tray and the rotation axis of the rotating member 230 is arranged in the horizontal direction, the first cleaning member 210 is entirely accommodated in the cavity 624. Therefore, dirt and water scraped from the first cleaning member 210 are able to fall into the recessed cavity 624 as much as possible, preventing dirt or water from being thrown toward other components in the cleaning base station and causing contamination there. This reduces the frequency of subsequent cleaning of the cleaning base station, facilitates cleaning, and reduces the user's labor intensity. In addition, because the protrusion 621 is located on the inner wall surface of the recessed cavity 624 facing the accommodating cavity 630, the protrusion 621 can be prevented from obstructing the movement of the cleaning device during its return to the accommodating cavity 630.
[0116] Reference Figure 12As shown, it can be understood that on the horizontal projection plane, the projection outline of the cleaning area 640 is an arc. In other words, the cleaning area 640 is a curved surface. When the cleaning area 640 is recessed, the cross-section of the cavity 624 is a fan-shaped. When the cleaning area 640 is not recessed, the side plate 620 is a curved plate. For an embodiment in which the combination of the rotating member 230 and the first cleaning member 210 is a structure similar to a mopping plate and the rotation axis of the rotating member 230 is arranged in the horizontal direction, when the first cleaning member 210 performs self-cleaning, the cleaning area 640 with a curved surface can be wrapped around part of the outer peripheral wall of the first cleaning member 210, thereby increasing the area of the first cleaning member 210 cleaned at the same time point, effectively improving the self-cleaning efficiency of the first cleaning member 210 and improving the self-cleaning effect.
[0117] It is easy to understand that, for an embodiment in which the combination of the rotating member 230 and the first cleaning member 210 is a structure similar to a mop tray and the rotation axis of the rotating member 230 is arranged in the horizontal direction, the projection contour of the cleaning member area on the horizontal projection plane is a line segment.
[0118] Reference Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, it is understood that the cleaning base station further includes a water receiving tray 700, which is mounted on the base 610 and located at the bottom of the accommodating cavity 630. Generally speaking, the height of the water receiving tray 700 is located lower than the height of the cleaning area 640. The water receiving tray 700 is used to store the sewage generated after cleaning the second cleaning member 430 and to receive dirt dropped from the second cleaning member 430.
[0119] Reference Figure 12 As shown, it can be understood that the base 610 includes a guide platform 650, which is located between the cleaning area 640 and the water receiving tray 700, and the guide platform 650 is located below the cleaning area 640. The guide platform 650 can be an inclined guide plate structure, or the top surface of the guide platform 650 can be inclined.
[0120] Reference Figure 11 and Figure 12As shown, it can be understood that the diversion platform 650 directs flow from the cleaning area 640 to the water receiving pan 700. Specifically, the top surface of the diversion platform 650 is arranged at an angle, and the end of the diversion platform 650 near the cleaning area 640 is higher than the end of the diversion platform 650 near the water receiving pan 700. In other words, the top surface of the diversion platform 650 is inclined from the cleaning area 640 to the water receiving pan 700. Therefore, during the self-cleaning process of the first cleaning element 210, the generated sewage will flow from the cleaning area 640 through the top surface of the diversion platform 650 to the water receiving pan 700. Dirt scraped from the first cleaning element 210 will also flow along with the sewage to the water receiving pan 700. This allows the existing water receiving pan 700 to collect the sewage and dirt scraped from the first cleaning element 210 during self-cleaning, eliminating the need for an additional water collection container and simplifying the structure. This also facilitates the collection of sewage and dirt, making it easier to clean up later.
[0121] Reference Figure 12 As shown, it can be understood that the top surface of the diversion platform 650 is provided with a plurality of diversion grooves 651. Specifically, the top surface of the diversion platform 650 is provided with a plurality of ridges, which are arranged along the diversion direction of the diversion platform 650, that is, the ridges extend from the cleaning area 640 to the water receiving tray 700. The plurality of ridges are arranged at intervals along a direction perpendicular to the diversion direction of the diversion platform 650, and the diversion grooves 651 are defined between two adjacent ridges. Therefore, the diversion grooves 651 are also arranged along the diversion direction of the diversion platform 650. The plurality of diversion grooves 651 are arranged at intervals along a direction perpendicular to the diversion direction of the diversion platform 650. In other words, the plurality of diversion grooves 651 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the accommodating cavity 630. Therefore, during the self-cleaning process of the first cleaning member 210, the generated sewage and the scraped dirt will flow dispersedly from the multiple guide grooves 651 to the water receiving tray 700, so that the sewage and dirt will flow quickly to the water receiving tray 700, which is beneficial to improving the drainage and sewage discharge efficiency of the cleaning area 640, and avoiding the impact on the original sewage in the water receiving tray 700, causing the sewage to splash and splash onto the second cleaning member 430, thereby effectively ensuring the cleaning effect of the second cleaning member 430.
[0122] Reference Figure 12As shown, it can be understood that, along the circumference of the accommodating chamber 630, the minimum distance between the two ends of the diversion platform 650 is greater than or equal to the maximum distance between the two ends of the cleaning area 640, and the cleaning area 640 is located between the two ends of the diversion platform 650 with the smallest circumferential distance along the accommodating chamber 630. In other words, the cleaning area 640 is located within the circumferential range of the diversion platform 650 along the accommodating chamber 630. Therefore, during the self-cleaning process of the first cleaning member 210, it can be ensured that all the generated sewage and scraped dirt flow to the diversion platform 650 and further flow to the water receiving tray 700, preventing sewage and dirt from flowing to the outside of the water receiving tray 700 and causing contamination to the cleaning base station or the ground, reducing the frequency of cleaning the cleaning base station in the later stage, facilitating cleaning, and reducing the labor intensity of the user.
[0123] Reference Figure 12 As shown, it can be understood that in order to prevent the diversion platform 650 from interfering with the second cleaning member 430 or the housing 100 and affecting the return of the cleaning equipment to the accommodating chamber 630 through the inlet and outlet 660, the height of the end of the diversion platform 650 close to the water receiving tray 700 gradually decreases from the accommodating chamber 630 to the outside along the center line of the inlet and outlet 660. In other words, the end of the diversion platform 650 close to the water receiving tray 700 is arranged obliquely, and the lower end is closer to the inlet and outlet 660. As a result, the cleaning equipment can be unaffected by the diversion platform 650 and can smoothly return to the accommodating chamber 630, and the structure of the cleaning base station is more reasonable.
