Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of household appliance technology, specifically to a cleaning base station and cleaning equipment. Background Technology

[0002] After using a floor scrubber as an example, the cleaning base station needs to be returned to the main body of the floor scrubber after use, allowing the cleaning base station to clean the main body of the floor scrubber. After cleaning, the cleaning base station needs to blow hot air to dry both the main body of the floor scrubber and the cleaning base station.

[0003] However, in order to dry the main body of the floor scrubber and the cleaning base station, the air duct used for drying the main body of the floor scrubber and the cleaning base station extends from the cleaning base station into the main body of the floor scrubber, and then from the main body of the floor scrubber into the cleaning base station. This results in a long air duct, which causes greater heat and air volume loss, resulting in a long drying time and low drying efficiency, which is not conducive to improving the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides a cleaning base station and cleaning equipment to solve the problems in the related technology where the air duct of the cleaning base station is long, resulting in greater heat and air volume loss, long drying time, low drying efficiency, and is not conducive to improving the user experience.

[0005] In a first aspect, this utility model provides a clean base station, comprising:

[0006] The housing has an air duct and a drying port. The air duct is located inside the housing and includes a first section, a second section and a third section. The second section connects the drying port and the first section, and the third section connects the first section and the sludge collection tank of the cleaning base station.

[0007] The heating element is located in the first section;

[0008] The drying fan has its outlet connected to the first section and is used to blow air toward the heating element.

[0009] The switching component, located within the air duct, includes a drive unit and a blocking unit. The drive unit can control the blocking unit to block the third section and connect the first and second sections, or block the second section and connect the first and third sections.

[0010] Beneficial effects: During the use of the cleaning base station of this utility model embodiment, after the floor scrubber has finished cleaning, the switching component can first connect the first segment and the second segment, so that the airflow blown by the drying fan can first dry the floor scrubber. Then, after the floor scrubber has finished drying, the switching component can connect the first segment and the third segment, so as to dry the sludge collection tank of the cleaning base station.

[0011] Therefore, the cleaning base station in this application embodiment can dry the floor scrubber and the cleaning base station separately. When drying the floor scrubber, only the first and second sections of the air duct are in use. When drying the sludge collection bucket of the cleaning base station, only the first and third sections of the air duct are in use. This significantly shortens the length of the air duct, avoids heat and air volume loss caused by the long air duct, improves drying efficiency, shortens drying time, and helps to improve the user experience.

[0012] Furthermore, the clean base station of this application embodiment has a simple structure, is easy to assemble, and is safe and reliable to use, making it easy to implement and promote its application.

[0014] The first stop is located inside the housing. When the baffle abuts against the first stop, the baffle can block the third section.

[0015] The second stop is located inside the housing. When the baffle abuts against the second stop, the baffle can block the second section.

[0016] Beneficial effect: With this configuration, when the rotation source drives the baffle into position, the first stop and the second stop can abut against the baffle, thereby preventing the baffle from moving excessively.

[0017] In one optional embodiment, a cleaning trough is formed on the upper side of the cleaning base station for accommodating a floor scrubber, and a drying port is disposed within the cleaning trough. The cleaning base station also includes an air duct shell, which comprises:

[0018] The first shell section, the first section of the air duct is formed within the first shell section;

[0019] The second shell section connects the first shell section and the drying port. The second section of the air duct is formed inside the second shell section. Along the direction close to the drying port, the second shell section is at least partially inclined upward.

[0020] Beneficial effects: With this configuration, the cleaning tank can be used to accommodate a floor scrubber, and the airflow blown by the drying fan can pass through the first shell section and the second shell section in sequence to reach the drying port, thereby drying the cleaning tank of the drying fan.

[0021] Based on this, the second shell section is configured to be at least partially inclined upward, thereby guiding the horizontal airflow output from the first shell section upward, so that the airflow at the drying port can be blown upward to fully dry the floor scrubber.

[0022] In one alternative embodiment, the cross-sectional area of ​​the first shell section and the second shell section gradually increases along the direction approaching the drying port.

[0023] Beneficial effects: This configuration allows the airflow from the drying fan to be blown out evenly from the drying port, thereby increasing the contact area between the airflow and the scrubbing parts of the floor scrubber, and promoting the cleaning station to quickly dry the floor scrubber.

[0024] In one alternative implementation, the clean base station further includes:

[0025] The base station body is located on one side of the air duct shell, and the sludge collection tank is located inside the shell. The air duct shell also includes a third shell section, which is located above the first shell section and connected to the first shell section. The third shell section extends towards the base station body.

[0026] Beneficial effects: The base station body is located on one side of the air duct shell, the sludge collection bucket is located inside the shell, the air duct shell also includes a third shell section, the third shell section is located above the first shell section and connected to the first shell section, the third shell section extends towards the base station body.

[0027] In one alternative implementation, the cross-sectional area of ​​the third shell segment gradually decreases along the direction approaching the base station body.

[0028] Beneficial effect: With this configuration, the third shell section can concentrate the airflow blown out by the drying fan, thereby promoting the rapid drying of the base station's sludge collection bin.

[0029] Secondly, this utility model also provides a cleaning device, comprising:

[0030] Floor scrubber;

[0031] The second aspect of this utility model relates to a cleaning device for cleaning floor scrubbers.

[0032] Beneficial Effects: The cleaning equipment of the second aspect of this utility model includes or uses the cleaning base station of the first aspect of this utility model, and therefore has its beneficial effects. That is, the cleaning equipment of this application embodiment can dry the floor scrubber and the cleaning base station separately. When drying the floor scrubber, only the first and second sections of the air duct are in use. When drying the sludge collection bucket of the cleaning base station, only the first and third sections of the air duct are in use. This significantly shortens the length of the air duct, avoids heat and air volume loss caused by the long air duct, improves drying efficiency, shortens drying time, and helps to improve the user experience.

[0033] Furthermore, the clean base station of this application embodiment has a simple structure, is easy to assemble, and is safe and reliable to use, making it easy to implement and promote its application.

[0034] In one alternative implementation, the floor scrubber includes:

[0035] The main body of the floor scrubber has a mounting slot on it;

[0036] The cleaning component is located within the mounting slot;

[0037] The wastewater tank is located inside the main body of the floor scrubber and is connected to the mounting groove. When the main body of the floor scrubber is installed on the cleaning base station, the wastewater tank is connected to the sludge collection bucket of the cleaning base station, and the sludge collection bucket has a sewage outlet.

[0038] Beneficial effects: When the main body of the floor scrubber is placed on the cleaning base station, the wastewater tank can be connected to the sludge collection bucket of the cleaning base station, so that the wastewater in the wastewater tank of the floor scrubber can be discharged into the sludge collection bucket of the cleaning base station, thereby realizing the automatic emptying of the wastewater tank of the floor scrubber.

[0039] After cleaning, the switching component can be switched to the first state, and the airflow blown by the drying fan can enter the wastewater tank of the floor scrubber through the drying port and the installation slot at the same time, thereby achieving simultaneous drying of the scrubbing parts of the floor scrubber and the wastewater tank.

[0068] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0069] After use, the floor scrubber 2 is placed back on the cleaning base station 1 to start the self-cleaning function. After self-cleaning, the roller brush, pipeline, wastewater tank, and the sludge collection tank 1013 of the cleaning base station 1 need to be dried. Hot air enters the base station sludge collection tank 1013 through the pipeline. Due to the long pipeline, the heat loss is large, which causes the base station sludge collection tank 1013 to not be dried effectively and quickly, resulting in long drying time, low drying efficiency, and affecting the drying effect and user experience.

[0070] The following is combined with Figures 1 to 12 The following describes embodiments of the present invention.

[0071] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a cleaning base station 1 is provided, including a housing 101, a heating element 102, a drying fan 103, and a switching component 104.

[0072] The housing 101 has an air duct 107 and a drying port 1011. The drying port 1011 is used to dry the floor scrubber 2. The air duct 107 is located inside the housing 101 and includes a first section 1071, a second section 1072, and a third section 1073. The second section 1072 connects the drying port 1011 and the first section 1071, and the third section 1073 connects the first section 1071 and the sludge collection tank 1013 of the cleaning base station 1. The heating element 102 is located inside the first section 1071. The air outlet of the drying fan 103 is connected to the first section 1071 and is used to blow air toward the heating element 102. The switching component 104 is disposed within the air duct 107 and includes a driving part and a blocking part. The driving part can control the blocking part to block the third segment 1073 and connect the first segment 1071 and the second segment 1072, or block the second segment 1072 and connect the first segment 1071 and the third segment 1073. In the use of the cleaning base station 1 of this utility model embodiment, after the floor scrubber 2 has finished cleaning, the switching component 104 can first connect the first segment 1071 and the second segment 1072, so that the airflow blown by the drying fan 103 can first dry the floor scrubber 2. Then, after the floor scrubber 2 has finished drying, the switching component 104 can connect the first segment 1071 and the third segment 1073, thereby drying the sludge collection tank 1013 of the cleaning base station 1.

[0073] Therefore, the cleaning base station 1 in this embodiment can dry the floor scrubber 2 and the cleaning base station 1 respectively. When drying the floor scrubber 2, only the first section 1071 and the second section 1072 of the air duct 107 are in use. When drying the sludge collection tank 1013 of the cleaning base station 1, only the first section 1071 and the third section 1073 of the air duct 107 are in use. This significantly shortens the length of the air duct 107, avoids heat and air volume loss caused by the long air duct 107, improves drying efficiency, shortens drying time, and helps to improve user experience.

[0074] Furthermore, the clean base station 1 in this application embodiment has a simple structure, is easy to assemble, and is safe and reliable to use, making it easy to implement and promote its application.

[0075] In one embodiment, such as Figure 8 and Figure 10 As shown, the driving unit includes a rotation source 1041, and the shielding unit includes a baffle 1042, which is connected to the power output end of the rotation source 1041. The rotation source 1041 is located within the air duct 107. The baffle 1042, when covering the third section 1073, exposes the second section 1072, thereby connecting the first section 1071 and the second section 1072; and when covering the second section 1072, exposes the third section 1073, thereby connecting the first section 1071 and the third section 1073.

[0076] As a variable implementation method, such as Figure 12 As shown, in one embodiment, the baffle 1042 can also be positioned between the first segment 1071 and the second segment 1072 under the action of the drive unit. At this time, the first segment 1071 can be connected to the second segment 1072 and the third segment 1073 at the same time. The airflow blown out by the drying fan 103 can simultaneously dry the sludge collection tank 1013 of the base station and the sewage tank 203 of the floor scrubber 2, thereby further improving the drying efficiency and shortening the drying time.

[0077] The rotation source 1041 can be selected as a device capable of outputting rotation, such as an electric motor, an engine, a hydraulic motor, or a combination of one of them and a reducer.

[0078] As an alternative implementation, the switching component 104 may also be a three-way valve, which has a first state of connecting the first segment 1071 and the second segment 1072 of the ventilation duct 107, and a second state of connecting the first segment 1071 and the third segment 1073.

[0079] In one embodiment, the clean base station 1 further includes an air duct housing 105.

[0080] The air duct shell 105 is disposed inside the shell 101, the air duct 107 is formed inside the air duct shell 105, and the baffle 1042 is rotatably disposed inside the air duct shell 105. A first stop portion 1054 and a second stop portion 1055 are formed on the air duct shell 105. When the baffle 1042 abuts against the first stop portion 1054, the baffle 1042 can block the third section 1073. When the baffle 1042 abuts against the second stop portion 1055, the baffle 1042 can block the second section 1072.

[0081] With this configuration, when the rotation source 1041 drives the baffle 1042 into position, the first stop 1054 and the second stop 1055 can abut against the baffle 1042, thereby preventing the baffle 1042 from moving excessively.

[0082] In one embodiment, a cleaning trough 1012 is formed on the upper side of the cleaning base station 1. The cleaning trough 1012 is used to accommodate the floor scrubber 2, and the drying port 1011 is located in the cleaning trough 1012.

[0083] like Figure 6 As shown, the air duct shell 105 includes a first shell section 1051 and a second shell section 1052.

[0084] The first section 1071 of the air duct 107 is formed within the first shell section 1051. The second shell section 1052 connects the first shell section 1051 and the drying port 1011. The second section 1072 of the air duct 107 is formed within the second shell section 1052. Along the direction close to the drying port 1011, the second shell section 1052 is at least partially inclined upward.

[0085] With this configuration, the cleaning tank 1012 can be used to accommodate the floor scrubber 2, and the airflow blown by the drying fan 103 can pass through the first shell section 1051 and the second shell section 1052 in sequence to reach the drying port 1011, thereby drying the cleaning tank 1012 of the drying fan 103.

[0086] Based on this, the second shell section 1052 is configured to be at least partially inclined upward, thereby guiding the horizontal airflow output from the first shell section 1051 upward, so that the airflow at the drying port 1011 can be blown upward to fully dry the floor scrubber 2.

[0087] In one embodiment, when the baffle 1042 of the switching component 104 blocks the third segment 1073, the plane on which the baffle 1042 is located is perpendicular to the plane on which the baffle 1042 is located when the baffle 1042 blocks the second segment 1072. With this configuration, the rotation source 1041 can drive the baffle 1042 to rotate 90°, and the switching component 104 can selectively connect the first segment 1071 and the second segment 1072, or connect the first segment 1071 and the third segment 1073.

[0088] In one embodiment, the air duct shell 105 includes an air duct shell body 1056 and an air guide plate 1057 connected to the air duct shell body 1056. The end of the third segment 1073 is formed between the air guide plate 1057 and the air duct shell body 1056. The air guide plate 1057 is inclined upward along the direction close to the drying port 1011.

[0089] Among them, the air guide plate 1057 is connected to the air duct shell body 1056, and the air outlet end of the third sub-section is located between the air guide plate 1057 and the air duct shell body 1056. From bottom to top, the air guide plate 1057 is inclined in a direction away from the air duct shell body 1056.

[0090] With this configuration, the air guide plate 1057 can guide and redirect the airflow, allowing the airflow to blow directly onto the wiping component 202 and further increase the contact between the airflow and the wiping component 202, thereby increasing the drying efficiency of the cleaning base station 1 on the wiping component 202.

[0091] In one embodiment, a connecting rib 1058 is provided between the air duct shell body 1056 and the air guide plate 1057. The connecting rib 1058 extends along the distance between the air duct shell 105 and the air guide plate 1057 and is used to connect the air duct shell body 1056 and the air guide plate 1057.

[0092] In a preferred embodiment, there are multiple connecting ribs 1058, which are evenly arranged along the length of the drying port 1011. By such arrangement, the connecting ribs 1058 can also promote the uniform distribution of airflow at the drying port 1011.

[0093] In one embodiment, the housing of the clean base station 1 includes a bottom housing 1014 and a top cover 1015, with the top cover 1015 detachably covering the bottom housing 1014.

[0094] With this configuration, the air guide plate 1057 can guide the airflow output from the first shell section 1051 to tilt upwards, thereby thoroughly drying the floor scrubber 2.

[0095] In one embodiment, the cross-sectional area of ​​the first shell section 1051 and the second shell section 1052 gradually increases along the direction approaching the drying port 1011.

[0096] With this configuration, the airflow blown by the drying fan 103 can be evenly blown out from the drying port 1011, thereby increasing the contact area between the airflow and the scrubbing parts 202 of the floor scrubber 2, and promoting the cleaning base station 1 to quickly dry the floor scrubber 2.

[0097] In one embodiment, the clean base station 1 further includes a base station body 106.

[0098] The base station body 106 is located on one side of the air duct shell 105, the sludge collection tank 1013 is located inside the shell 101, the air duct shell 105 also includes a third shell section 1053, the third shell section 1053 is located above the first shell section 1051 and connected to the first shell section 1051, the third shell section 1053 extends in the direction close to the base station body 106.

[0099] In one embodiment, the cross-sectional area of ​​the third shell segment 1053 gradually decreases along the direction approaching the base station body 106.

[0100] With this configuration, the third shell section 1053 can concentrate the airflow blown out by the drying fan 103, thereby promoting the rapid drying of the base station's sludge collection bin 1013.

[0101] According to an embodiment of the present invention, another aspect provides a cleaning device, including a floor scrubber 2 and a cleaning device.

[0102] Among them, the cleaning equipment is the cleaning equipment of the first aspect of this utility model, which is used to clean the floor scrubber 2.

[0103] The cleaning equipment of the second aspect of this utility model includes or uses the cleaning base station 1 of the first aspect of this utility model, and therefore has its beneficial effects. That is, the cleaning equipment of this application embodiment can dry the floor scrubber 2 and the cleaning base station 1 respectively. When drying the floor scrubber 2, only the first section 1071 and the second section 1072 of the air duct 107 are in use. When drying the sludge collection tank 1013 of the cleaning base station 1, only the first section 1071 and the third section 1073 of the air duct 107 are in use. This significantly shortens the length of the air duct 107, avoids heat and air volume loss caused by the long air duct 107, improves drying efficiency, shortens drying time, and helps to improve user experience.

[0104] Furthermore, the clean base station 1 in this application embodiment has a simple structure, is easy to assemble, and is safe and reliable to use, making it easy to implement and promote its application.

[0105] In one embodiment, the floor scrubber 2 includes a floor scrubber body 201, a scrubbing component 202, and a wastewater tank 203.

[0106] The floor scrubber body 201 is provided with an installation groove 2011. The scrubbing component 202 is located in the installation groove 2011. The wastewater tank 203 is located in the floor scrubber body 201 and is connected to the installation groove 2011. When the floor scrubber body 201 is installed on the cleaning base station 1, the wastewater tank 203 is connected to the sludge collection tank 1013 of the cleaning base station 1, and the sludge collection tank 1013 has a drain outlet.

[0107] When the main body 201 of the floor scrubber is placed on the cleaning base station 1, the wastewater tank 203 can be connected to the sludge collection bucket 1013 of the cleaning base station 1, so that the wastewater in the wastewater tank 203 of the floor scrubber 2 can be discharged into the sludge collection bucket 1013 of the cleaning base station 1, thereby realizing the automatic emptying of the wastewater tank of the floor scrubber 2.

[0108] After cleaning, the switching component 104 can first connect the first section 1071 and the third section 1073, and the airflow blown out by the drying fan 103 can pass through the drying port 1011 and the mounting slot 2011 and enter the wastewater tank 203 of the floor scrubber 2, thereby achieving simultaneous drying of the scrubbing parts 202 and the wastewater tank 203 of the floor scrubber 2.

[0109] The scrubbing component 202 can be a roller brush.

[0110] As an alternative implementation, in some embodiments not shown in the accompanying drawings, the scrubbing member 202 may also be a sheet-like scrubbing cloth.

[0111] In one embodiment, the sludge collection tank 1013 of the cleaning base station 1 is equipped with a water inlet 108 and a dirt detection device 109. The main function of the dirt detection device 109 is to monitor and assess the cleanliness of the base station's interior or related components. This device typically includes sensors, such as image sensors, which can capture images of the base station's interior and analyze these images using image processing technology to determine the degree and distribution of dirt. The controller controls the operation of the cleaning system based on the sensor's detection results, such as initiating a cleaning program or adjusting the amount of cleaning agent used, to ensure that the base station maintains an appropriate level of cleanliness.

[0112] Furthermore, the dirt detection device 109 can help automate cleaning, improve cleaning efficiency and effectiveness, and reduce the need for manual intervention. By monitoring the cleanliness status of the base station in real time, the device also helps prevent potential performance problems, ensuring the normal operation of the clean base station 1 and the quality of communication services.

[0113] The design of the water inlet 108 allows water to be added to the sludge collection tank 1013 when the cleaning equipment returns to the base station for maintenance, so as to more effectively clean the dirt and residue inside the sludge collection tank 1013. This process helps to remove dust and stains adhering to the inner wall of the sludge collection tank 1013, improves cleaning efficiency, and maintains a hygienic environment inside the base station.

[0114] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a third aspect also provides a method for controlling a cleaning device.

[0115] Among them, Figure 13 As shown, the cleaning equipment includes a floor scrubber 2 and a cleaning base station 1.

[0116] The cleaning base station 1 includes a housing 101, a heating element 102, a drying fan 103, and a switching component 104.

[0117] The housing 101 has an air duct 107 and a drying port 1011. The drying port 1011 is used to dry the scrubbing parts 202 of the cleaning equipment. The air duct 107 is located inside the housing 101 and includes a first section 1071, a second section 1072, and a third section 1073. The second section 1072 connects the drying port 1011 and the first section 1071, and the third section 1073 connects the first section 1071 and the sludge collection tank 1013 of the cleaning base station 1. The heating element 102 is located inside the first section 1071. The air outlet of the drying fan 103 is connected to the first section 1071 and is used to blow air toward the heating element 102. The switching component 104 is disposed within the air duct 107 and includes a driving unit and a blocking unit. The driving unit can control the blocking unit to block the third segment 1073 and connect the first segment 1071 and the second segment 1072, or block the second segment 1072 and connect the first segment 1071 and the third segment 1073. The control method includes steps S1 and S2.

[0118] Step S1: After cleaning base station 1 finishes cleaning floor scrubber 2, control heating element 102 and drying fan 103 to work;

[0119] Step S2: Control the switching component 104 to selectively block the second segment 1072 or the third segment 1073 to dry the floor scrubber 2 and the cleaning base station 1 respectively.

[0120] The control method for the cleaning equipment of the third aspect of this utility model can dry the floor scrubber 2 and the cleaning base station 1 separately. When drying the floor scrubber 2, only the first section 1071 and the second section 1072 of the air duct 107 are in use. When drying the sludge collection tank 1013 of the cleaning base station 1, only the first section 1071 and the third section 1073 of the air duct 107 are in use. This significantly shortens the length of the air duct 107, avoids heat and airflow loss caused by a long air duct 107, improves drying efficiency, shortens drying time, and helps improve the user experience. In one embodiment, step S2 further includes:

[0121] The switching component 104 blocks the third segment 1073, and after maintaining this for a preset period of time, controls the switching component 104 to block the second segment 1072.

[0122] This setup ensures that the cleaning base station 1 can thoroughly dry the floor scrubber 2, and that the drying time is relatively short.

[0123] The first preset time period can be set according to factors such as the power of the drying fan 103, the length of the air duct 107, and the volume of the wastewater tank 203, so as to ensure that the scrubbing parts 202 and the wastewater tank 203 of the floor scrubber 2 are fully dried. This is well known to those skilled in the art, so it will not be described in detail here.

[0124] For example, in one embodiment, the first preset time period is 5 minutes.

[0125] In one embodiment, the control method further includes:

[0126] Step S3: After the second preset time period, turn off the drying fan 103 and the heating element 102, and switch the control switching component 104 to the first state.

[0127] In one embodiment, the driving unit includes a rotation source 1041, and the shielding unit includes a baffle 1042 connected to the power output end of the rotation source 1041. The rotation source 1041 is located within the air duct 107. The baffle 1042, when covering the third segment 1073, exposes the second segment 1072, thereby connecting the first segment 1071 and the second segment 1072. Conversely, when covering the second segment 1072, the baffle 1042 exposes the third segment 1073, thereby connecting the first segment 1071 and the third segment 1073.

[0128] As a possible implementation method, in one embodiment, such as Figure 12 As shown, the control method further includes step S4: controlling the rotation source 1041 to rotate the baffle 1042 between the first segment 1071 and the second segment 1072.

[0129] At this time, the first segment 1071 can be connected to the second segment 1072 and the third segment 1073 at the same time. The airflow blown out by the drying fan 103 can simultaneously dry the sludge collection tank 1013 of the base station and the sewage tank 203 of the floor scrubber 2, thereby further improving the drying efficiency and shortening the drying time.

[0130] Step S4 can be optionally executed in response to a user-inputted rapid drying command. As a possible implementation, the wastewater tank 203 of the floor scrubber 2 is equipped with a first humidity sensor. Step S4 can also be configured to be executed when the detection result of the first humidity sensor is higher than a preset value.

[0131] As a variable implementation method, the control method includes: acquiring the detection result of the first humidity sensor, and when the detection result of the first humidity sensor meets the requirements, controlling the switching component 104 to switch to the second state.

[0132] A second humidity sensor is also installed in the sludge collection tank 1013 of the cleaning base station 1;

[0133] The control method also includes: acquiring the detection result of the second humidity sensor; when the detection result of the second humidity sensor meets the requirements, controlling the drying fan 103 and the heating element 102 to stop working, controlling the switching component 104 to switch to the first state, and ending the drying operation.

[0134] In summary, the control method of the cleaning base station 1 in the first aspect, the cleaning equipment in the second aspect, and the cleaning equipment in the third aspect of this utility model can reduce the heat and air volume loss of the cleaning equipment, improve drying efficiency, shorten drying time, and help improve user experience.

[0135] Although embodiments of the present invention have been described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and such modifications and variations all fall within the scope defined by the appended claims.
