The water pump 32 is connected to the clean water tank 21 to draw clean water from the clean water tank 21 and pump it into the cleaning tank 111 to clean the cleaning robot. The water pump 32, air pump 31, and control unit 4 are stacked within the mounting cavity 15. Specifically, the air pump 31, control unit 4, and water pump 32 are stacked along the width direction of the base station body 1, with the cleaning robot entering the receiving cavity 12 along the width direction of the base station body 1. This compact cleaning base station of the present invention uses a stacked arrangement to install components, making full use of the space within the mounting cavity 15, resulting in a more reasonable and compact installation of the components within the base station body 1, which helps to reduce the space occupied by the cleaning base station.

[0030] Reference Figures 1 to 4 The base station body 1 includes a front housing 13 and a rear housing 14, wherein the front housing 13 and the rear housing 14 are detachably connected, and the front housing 13 and the rear housing 14 together enclose an installation cavity 15. The detachable connection between the front housing 13 and the rear housing 14, with each component installed within the installation cavity 15, allows the rear housing 14 to be disassembled when maintenance is required within the base station body 1, thus reducing maintenance difficulty. The connection and fixation between the front housing 13 and the rear housing 14 can be achieved through methods such as tightening with screws or using snap-fit ​​mechanisms; no single method is specified here.

[0031] Furthermore, a mounting bracket 16 is fixedly installed inside the base station body 1, and the control unit 4 is fixedly installed on the mounting bracket 16. A first installation space 151 is formed between the control unit 4 and the mounting bracket 16. The water pump 32 is fixedly installed on the mounting bracket 16 and located within the first space. By setting the mounting bracket 16 to install and fix the control unit 4 and the water pump 32, the space becomes more compact. In this embodiment, the mounting bracket 16 is fixedly installed on the side of the front housing 13 facing the rear housing 14, and a second installation space 152 is formed between the mounting bracket 16 and the front housing 13. The air pump 31 is fixedly connected to the side of the mounting bracket 16 facing away from the water pump 32 and is located within the second installation space 152. The air pump 31 and the water pump 32 are staggered. The water pump 32, the air pump 31, and the control unit 4 are stacked in the mounting cavity 15, and the air pump 31 and the water pump 32 are staggered during installation, further reducing the space required by the two pump bodies, thereby further reducing the volume of the base station body 1. In this embodiment, the two sides of the mounting bracket 16 are respectively connected and fixed to the front housing 13 and the rear housing 14 by screws. The control unit 4 is also fixed on the mounting bracket 16 by screws. Since the screws require a certain space for threaded connection, the air pump 31 and water pump 32 are installed by using the thread gap required by the screws, which helps to reduce space waste.

[0032] The compact cleaning base station also includes a dust collection module 9 and a hot water module 8. The base station body 1 has a dust collection chamber 131, and the dust collection module 9 is connected to the dust collection chamber 131 to collect debris and dust from the cleaning robot. During use, a dust bag is typically placed inside the dust collection chamber 131 to hold the debris; during cleaning, only the dust bag needs to be replaced and cleaned. The hot water module 8 heats the clean water output from the clean water tank 21 to supply hot water to the cleaning tank 111. The hot water accelerates the softening and melting of dirt and grease, allowing the cleaning mop on the cleaning robot to clean more thoroughly. In this embodiment, the dust collection chamber 131 is located on the front housing 13. Specifically, the front housing is recessed towards the rear housing 14 to form the dust collection chamber 131. This creates a space 132 between the receiving cavity 12 and the dust collection chamber 131. The hot water module 8 is installed within the space 132 and is fixedly connected to the front housing 13. The hot water module 8 is placed in the interval space 132, which further reduces space waste and helps to reduce the volume of the base station body 1.

The power pump 52 is located on the cleaning fluid delivery pipeline to provide power to deliver the cleaning fluid in the cleaning fluid tank 51 to the cleaning tank 111. When it is necessary to replenish the cleaning fluid in the cleaning fluid tank 51, it can be added directly through the filling port without removing the cleaning fluid tank 51 from the base station body 1, making the filling of the cleaning fluid convenient. Furthermore, the shape and size of the cleaning fluid box 51 can be set as needed. Compared with the pull-out cleaning fluid box 51, the fixed cleaning fluid box 51, which is filled with cleaning fluid from the top filling port, can effectively save installation space. In this embodiment, the cleaning fluid box 51 is a narrow rectangular structure, which allows the cleaning fluid box 51 to be installed in the slit formed between the dust collection chamber 131 and the side wall of the front housing 13, making full use of the space inside the base station body 1.

[0034] In this embodiment, the power pump 52 is a peristaltic pump. Using a peristaltic pump to deliver the cleaning fluid allows for accurate control of the delivery volume, achieving the purpose of quantitative delivery of the cleaning fluid. In other embodiments, the power pump 52 may also be a diaphragm pump, etc., and is not limited to this specific embodiment.

[0035] The base station body 1 also houses a power module 6 and a drying module 7. The power module 6 and drying module 7 are electrically connected to the control unit 4. The drying module 7 is used to dry the mop of the cleaning robot. The power module 6 is fixedly connected to the front housing 13, forming a third mounting space 153 between the power module 6 and the front housing 13. The power pump 52 is fixedly connected to the front housing 13 and located within the third mounting space 153. The drying module 7 is fixedly positioned below the dust collection module 9 and to one side of the power module 6. The power module 6 and the power pump 52 are stacked, resulting in a compact structure and high space utilization, which helps to reduce the overall size of the base station body 1.
