[0060] It should be noted that if an element is referred to as "fixed to" or "disposed on" another element, it can be directly on another element or there can be a middle element. If an element is considered to be "connected" to another element, it can be directly connected to another element or there can be a middle element. If present, the terms "vertical", "horizontal", "up", "down", "left", "right" and similar expressions used in the present application are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only implementation.

[0061] Reference is made to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4The cleaning device provided by an embodiment of the present application comprises a cleaning device 100 and a base station 200, and the cleaning device 100 is used to perform the cleaning requirements required by a user, such as sweeping or mopping the ground. Specifically, the cleaning device 100 comprises a cleaning body 101 and a cleaning piece 102, the cleaning piece 102 is arranged on the cleaning body 101, and the cleaning body 101 can carry the cleaning piece 102 to move on the ground, so as to realize the action of sweeping or mopping the ground by the cleaning piece 102.

[0062] The cleaning piece 102 can be a mop, a roller brush or the like, which can be used to clean the ground, and the cleaning device 100 also has a self-cleaning function to clean the cleaning piece 102. Specifically, when the cleaning device 100 performs self-cleaning, the cleaning body 101 is configured to be capable of spraying cleaning liquid onto the cleaning piece 102, so that the cleaning piece 102 can be cleaned by the cleaning liquid after cleaning the ground for a period of time, so that the stains on the cleaning piece 102 can be removed, so as to facilitate the cleaning piece 102 to continue to clean the ground. Further, the cleaning body 101 is also provided with a dirt collecting tank 110, and the sewage generated during the self-cleaning process of the cleaning device 100 can enter the dirt collecting tank 110, so that the sewage generated during the cleaning of the cleaning piece 102 can be collected by the dirt collecting tank 110, avoiding the sewage flowing into the ground.

[0063] The base station 200 is used to perform the operations of replenishing water, charging, cleaning and the like on the cleaning device 100, and the cleaning device 100 can enter or leave the base station 200 along a first direction X. The base station 200 has a sewage cavity 201, and the cleaning body 101 is provided with a sewage discharge hole 111 which is in communication with the dirt collecting tank 110, the sewage discharge hole 111 is arranged on the inner wall of the dirt collecting tank 110, and the sewage discharge hole 111 can be controlled to open and close. When the cleaning device 100 is located in the base station 200, the sewage discharge hole 111 can be opened, and the opened sewage discharge hole 111 is in communication with the sewage cavity 201. When the cleaning device 100 leaves the base station 200, the sewage discharge hole 111 is closed, so as to avoid the leakage of sewage in the dirt collecting tank 110 from polluting the ground when the cleaning device 100 cleans the ground.

[0064] By arranging the sewage discharge hole 111 in the dirt collecting tank 110, the sewage in the dirt collecting tank 110 can be directly discharged out of the dirt collecting tank 110 through the sewage discharge hole 111, so as to effectively improve the sewage discharge capacity of the dirt collecting tank 110. In this way, after the cleaning device 100 enters the base station 200, the cleaning body 101 controls a large amount of water to flow into the dirt collecting tank 110, so as to flush the dirt collecting tank 110 with a large amount of water, so as to achieve the effect of cleaning the dirt collecting tank 110, thereby reducing the frequency and time of cleaning the dirt collecting tank 110 by the user.

[0065] And, a large amount of water can be directly discharged into the sewage cavity 201 through the sewage hole 111, i.e., discharged into the base station 200, which not only facilitates centralized treatment in the base station 200, but also avoids accumulation of a large amount of water in the sewage tank 110, thereby preventing sewage overflow and pollution of the surrounding environment.

[0066] It should be noted that when it is necessary to control the large amount of water in the sewage tank 110, the water can be discharged through the water outlet structure used for cleaning the cleaning member 102 by the cleaning body 101, and the discharged water will pass through the cleaning member 102 and finally enter the sewage tank 110, thereby achieving the effect of cleaning the sewage tank 110. In some other embodiments, the large amount of water in the sewage tank 110 can also be achieved by separately providing a water outlet structure.

[0067] In some embodiments of the present application, referring to Figure 5 and Figure 6 , in order to achieve the opening and closing of the sewage hole 111, the cleaning device 100 comprises a cover 140, which is movably installed on the cleaning body 101. Further referring to Figure 10 and Figure 11 , the cover 140 comprises a first position and a second position during movement, when the cover 140 is located at the first position, the cover 140 opens the sewage hole 111, when the cover 140 is located at the second position, the cover 140 closes the sewage hole 111, thereby controlling the opening and closing of the sewage hole 111 by controlling the movement of the cover 140.

[0068] Further, the base station 200 is provided with a pushing member 210, which is used to drive the cover 140 to move from the second position to the first position. In this way, only when the cleaning device 100 is located in the base station 200, the pushing member 210 can push the cover 140 to open the sewage hole 111, thereby ensuring that the sewage discharged from the sewage hole 111 can be accurately input into the sewage cavity 201 when the sewage hole 111 is opened. Moreover, arranging the pushing member 210 on the base station 200 can effectively reduce the overall volume of the cleaning device 100, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the cleaning device 100.

[0069] It can be understood that in some other embodiments, the opening and closing of the sewage hole 111 can also be achieved by an electromagnetic valve or the like, which is not limited herein. The movement of the cover 140 from the first position to the second position can be completed by the weight of the cover 140, or can be driven by the pushing member 210, but the additional separation structure of the pushing member 210 and the cover 140 needs to be additionally arranged, which will further increase the separation structure of the pushing member 210 and the cover 140, thereby increasing the additional cost or workload of the user.

[0070] To this end, in some embodiments, referring to Figure 7 , Figure 8 , the base station 200 further comprises an elastic member 141 arranged between the cover 140 and the cleaning body 101, and the elastic member 141 accumulates elastic force for driving the cover 140 to move from the first position to the second position during the movement of the cover 140 from the second position to the first position. In this way, after the cleaning device 100 leaves the base station 200, the pushing member 210 is separated from the cover 140, and the elastic member 141 returns to the elastic deformation, thereby pushing the cover 140 to move from the first position to the second position, and then closing the sewage outlet, so as to realize that the cleaning device 100 leaves the base station 200, and the sewage outlet is automatically closed to avoid sewage leakage.

[0071] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 10 and Figure 11 , the cover 140 has a swing segment 142 and a blocking segment 143 arranged in sequence, and the cover 140 is rotatably mounted on the cleaning body 101 about a rotation axis located between the swing segment 142 and the blocking segment 143 and intersecting the first direction X. When the cover 140 is located at the second position, the swing segment 142 is arranged spaced apart from the cleaning body 101, and the blocking segment 143 blocks the sewage hole 111. Optionally, the cleaning body 101 is provided with a rotating shaft 144 rotatable about the rotation axis, and the cover 140 is arranged on the rotating shaft 144.

[0072] When the cleaning device 100 is located at the base station 200, the pushing member 210 is used to drive the swing segment 142 to approach the cleaning body 101, and when the swing segment 142 approaches the cleaning body 101, the blocking segment 143 will be away from the cleaning body 101, so that the blocking segment 143 cannot continue to block the sewage hole 111, the sewage hole 111 is opened, and the cover 140 moves to the first position.

[0073] Further, the elastic member 141 is arranged between the swing segment 142 and the cleaning body 101, and when the pushing member 210 drives the swing segment 142 to approach the cleaning body 101, the swing segment 142 will compress the elastic member 141. After the cleaning device 100 leaves the base station 200, the pushing member 210 is separated from the swing segment 142, the elastic member 141 will recover the deformation, thereby pushing the swing segment 142 to be away from the cleaning body 101, and finally making the blocking segment 143 approach the cleaning body 101 until the blocking segment 143 blocks the sewage hole 111, and the cover 140 moves to the second position.

[0074] It should be noted that in other embodiments, the cover 140 can also adopt a horizontal moving mode, and the pushing member 210 drives the cover 140 to move horizontally by magnetic attraction, and cooperates with the elastic member 141 to realize the movement of the cover 140 between the first position and the second position.

[0075] In some embodiments, the pushing member 210 is movable along a second direction Y intersecting the first direction X on the base station 200, and when the cleaning device 100 is located on the base station 200, the pushing member 210 can push the cover 140 to move to the first position during the movement. That is, the cover 140 is moved by the movable pushing member 210, so that the cover 140 can open the pollution hole 111.

[0076] In other embodiments, a fixed pushing member 210 can also be used, and the movement of the cleaning body 101 into the base station 200 can make the cover 140 abut against the pushing member 210 during the movement of the cleaning body 101, so that the pushing member 210 pushes the cover 140 to open the pollution hole 111.

[0077] Specifically, in the embodiments of Figure 4 , the first direction X is the left-right direction, and the second direction Y is the vertical direction. When the cleaning device 100 is located on the base station 200, the pushing member 210 is located below the swing section 142 of the cover 140, and the pushing member 210 is movable in the vertical direction. Therefore, during the upward movement of the pushing member 210, the pushing member 210 abuts against the swing section 142, and drives the swing section 142 to move close to the cleaning body 130, so that the blocking section 143 is separated from the cleaning body 130, thereby opening the pollution hole 111.

[0078] During the downward movement of the pushing member 210, the pushing member 210 is separated from the first swing section 142, and the swing section 142 moves away from the cleaning body 130 under the action of the elastic member 141, so that the blocking section 143 blocks the pollution hole 111.

[0079] In some embodiments, in order to reduce the impact on the pushing member 210 during the movement and the contact with the cover 140, the base station 200 further comprises a damping member 211 deformable along a second direction Y intersecting the first direction X and the rotation axis direction. When the cleaning device 100 is located on the base station 200, the damping member 211 is located between the pushing member 210 and the cover 140, and the pushing member 210 can drive the damping member 211 to deform during the movement, and make the damping member 211 abut against the cover 140. That is, the pushing member 210 does not directly contact the cover 140, but indirectly contacts the cover 140 through the damping member 211, so that the impact on the cover 140 is reduced through the flexible damping member 211, thereby improving the service life of the cover 140.

[0080] In some embodiments of the present application, refer to Figure 5 , Figure 12 and Figure 13The base station 200 comprises a base structure 240, a driving member 241 and a transmission member 243, the driving member 241 and the transmission member 243 are arranged on the base structure 240, the pushing member 210 is movably arranged on the base structure 240 along the second direction Y, and the driving member 241 drives the pushing member 210 to move through the transmission member 243. The driving member 241 can be a motor, and the transmission member 243 can comprise, but is not limited to, a worm gear, a gear and a rack 212, etc.

[0081] In some embodiments, the transmission member 243 is a gear, the gear is in transmission connection with the driving member 241, the pushing member 210 is provided with a rack 212 which is longitudinally arranged along the second direction Y, and the rack 212 is in engagement with the gear. When the driving member 241 drives the gear to rotate, the gear drives the rack 212 to move, so that the pushing member 210 moves along the second direction Y, and further drives the cover 140 to move.

[0082] In some embodiments, the pushing member 210 comprises an extended position and a retracted position in the moving process. When the cleaning device 100 is located in the base station 200 and the pushing member 210 is located in the extended position, the cover 140 is located in the first position, and when the pushing member 210 is located in the retracted position, the pushing member 210 is located in the moving path of the cleaning device 100 away from or into the base station 200.

[0083] Further, the base station 200 further comprises a position detection assembly 244 arranged on the base structure 240, the position detection assembly 244 is used to detect the position of the pushing member 210, and outputs a first signal when the pushing member 210 is located in the extended position, and outputs a second signal when the pushing member 210 is located in the retracted position, and the driving member 241 stops driving the pushing member 210 to move according to the first signal or the second signal, so that the pushing member 210 is stopped in the first position or the second position.

[0084] Specifically, the driving member 241 is a motor, and when the cleaning device 100 enters the base station 200, the motor starts to act after receiving the signal that the cleaning device 100 is moved to the position, drives the gear to rotate in the positive direction, drives the pushing member 210 to move upward through the rack 212, and opens the cover 140 to open the drain hole 111. When the pushing member 210 moves to the extended position, the position detection assembly 244 detects that the pushing member 210 is located in the extended position, sends out the first signal, and the driving member 241 stops driving the pushing member 210 according to the first signal, so that the pushing member 210 is stopped in the extended position, and further keeps the cover 140 in the state of opening the drain hole 111.

[0085] When the cleaning device 100 needs to leave the base station 200, the motor receives a corresponding signal, reverses the driving gear to drive the pusher 210 to move downward through the rack 212 to leave the cover 140, so that the cover 140 can be closed to the pollution hole 111 under the action of the elastic member 141. When the cover moves to the retracted position, the in-place detection assembly 244 detects that the pusher is in the retracted position, sends a second signal, and the driving member 241 stops driving the pusher 210 according to the second signal, so that the pusher 210 stops in the retracted position, avoiding affecting the movement of the cleaning device 100 from the base station 200

[0086] In some embodiments, the in-place detection assembly 244 includes a first optical coupling switch 245 and a second optical coupling switch 246, which are arranged along the second direction Y. When the pusher 210 is in the extended position, the pusher 210 is located in the second optical coupling switch 246 and partially in the first optical coupling switch 245, so that the first optical coupling switch 245 is triggered to send a signal to the processing device of the base station 200 that the pusher 210 has moved to the position, and the processing device sends a stop signal to the driving member 241, so that the driving member 241 stops continuing to act, so that the pusher 210 remains in the extended position, and the pollution hole 111 can be continuously opened until the pollution is completed and the cleaning device 100 needs to leave the base station 200.
