[0067] Referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 , an embodiment of the present application provides a cleaning device, which comprises a cleaning device 100 and a base station 200. The cleaning device 100 is used to perform the cleaning requirements required by the user, such as sweeping or mopping the ground. Specifically, the cleaning device 100 comprises a cleaning body 101 and a cleaning element 102. The cleaning element 102 is arranged on the cleaning body 101. The cleaning body 101 can carry the cleaning element 102 to move on the ground, so as to realize the action of sweeping or mopping the ground by the cleaning element 102.

[0068] The cleaning element 102 can be a mop, a roller brush or other components that can be used for cleaning the ground. The cleaning device 100 also has a self-cleaning function to clean the cleaning element 102. Specifically, when the cleaning device 100 performs self-cleaning, the cleaning body 101 is configured to spray cleaning liquid onto the cleaning element 102. After the cleaning element 102 cleans the ground for a period of time, the cleaning body 101 cleans the cleaning element 102, so that the stains on the cleaning element 102 can be removed, so as to facilitate the cleaning element 102 to continue to clean the ground. Further, the cleaning body 101 is also provided with a pollution collection tank 110. The sewage generated during the self-cleaning process of the cleaning device 100 can enter the pollution collection tank 110, so that the sewage generated during the cleaning of the cleaning element 102 is collected by the pollution collection tank 110, avoiding the sewage flowing into the ground.

[0069] The base station 200 is used to dock the cleaning device 100, and can perform operations such as water replenishment, charging and cleaning on the cleaning device 100. The base station 200 comprises a body 240 and a pushing element 210. The cleaning device 100 can enter or leave the body 240 along a first direction X. Further, the body 240 also has a sewage cavity 201. The inner wall of the pollution collection tank 110 is provided with a sewage discharge hole 111, which can be controlled to open and close.

[0070] And the base station 200 further comprises a pushing member 210 movably mounted on the body 240, and when the cleaning device 100 is parked on the body 240, the pushing member 210 can be controlled to move relative to the body 240 to open the drain hole 111 to communicate with the sewage cavity 201. Specifically, the pushing member 210 can drive the cleaning device 100 to open the drain hole 111 in the process of movement, and the opened drain hole 111 communicates with the sewage cavity 201. When the cleaning device 100 leaves the base station 200, the drain hole 111 is closed to avoid the leakage of sewage in the sump 110 from polluting the ground when the cleaning device 100 cleans the ground.

[0071] By arranging the drain hole 111 in the sump 110, the sewage in the sump 110 is directly discharged out of the sump 110 through the drain hole 111, thereby effectively improving the sewage discharge capacity of the sump 110. In this way, after the cleaning device 100 is parked on the body 240, a large amount of water is controlled to flow into the sump 110 by the cleaning body 101, thereby flushing the sump 110 with a large amount of water to achieve the effect of cleaning the sump 110, thereby reducing the frequency and time of cleaning the sump 110 by the user.

[0072] And a large amount of water can be directly discharged into the sewage cavity 201 through the drain hole 111, i.e., discharged into the base station 200, which not only facilitates centralized treatment in the base station 200, but also avoids the accumulation of a large amount of water in the sump 110, thereby preventing sewage from overflowing and polluting the surrounding environment.

[0073] It should be noted that when a large amount of water needs to be controlled to flow into the sump 110 by the cleaning body 101, a water outlet structure used for cleaning the cleaning member 102 can be used to discharge a large amount of water. The discharged water will pass through the cleaning member 102, but will eventually enter the sump 110, thereby achieving the effect of cleaning the sump 110. In other embodiments, a separate water outlet structure can be provided to achieve the effect of discharging a large amount of water into the sump 110.

[0074] In some embodiments of the present application, refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 In order to achieve the opening and closing of the drain hole 111, the cleaning device 100 comprises a cover 140 movably mounted on the cleaning body 101. Further, refer to Figure 10 and Figure 11 The cover 140 comprises a first position and a second position in the process of movement. When the cover 140 is in the first position, the cover 140 opens the drain hole 111, and when the cover 140 is in the second position, the cover 140 closes the drain hole 111, thereby controlling the opening and closing of the drain hole 111 by controlling the movement of the cover 140.

[0075] Further, the pushing member 210 is movable in a second direction Y of the base station 200, the first direction X, the second direction Y and the rotation axis direction are all intersected with each other and not coplanar. When the cleaning device 100 is docked on the body 240, the pushing member 210 can push the cover 140 to move to the first position in the process of movement. That is, the cover 140 is driven to move by the movable pushing member 210, so that the cover 140 can open the sewage outlet hole 111, and the pushing member 210 intersects with the movement direction of the cleaning device 100, thereby avoiding the pushing member 210 pushing the cleaning device 100 to move, causing the position of the cleaning device 100 on the cleaning body 101 to deviate.

[0076] In this way, only when the cleaning device 100 is docked on the body 240, the pushing member 210 can push the cover 140 to open the sewage outlet hole 111, so as to ensure that the sewage discharged from the sewage outlet hole 111 can be accurately input into the sewage cavity 201 when the sewage outlet hole 111 is opened. Further, arranging the pushing member 210 on the base station 200 can effectively reduce the overall volume of the cleaning device 100, and facilitate to improve the cleaning effect of the cleaning device 100.

[0077] It can be understood that in other embodiments, the movement direction of the pushing member 210 can also be along the first direction X, and the opening and closing of the sewage outlet hole 111 can also be realized by an electromagnetic valve. In the process of movement of the pushing member 210, the pushing member 210 can abut the switch of the electromagnetic valve, so as to make the electromagnetic valve open the sewage outlet hole 111. When the pushing member 210 is separated from the switch of the electromagnetic valve, the electromagnetic valve closes the sewage outlet hole 111.

[0078] In some embodiments, the movement of the cover 140 from the first position to the second position can be completed by the self-weight of the cover 140, or can continue to be driven by the pushing member 210, but an additional separation structure of the pushing member 210 and the cover 140 needs to be arranged, which will further increase the separation structure of the pushing member 210 and the cover 140, and increase the additional cost or workload of the user.

[0079] Therefore, in some embodiments, referring to Figure 7 , Figure 8 , the base station 200 further comprises an elastic member 141, the elastic member 141 is arranged between the cover 140 and the cleaning body 101, and in the process of movement of the cover 140 from the second position to the first position, the elastic member 141 accumulates the elastic force for driving the cover 140 to move from the first position to the second position. In this way, when 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 closing the sewage outlet hole, so as to realize that when the cleaning device 100 leaves the base station 200, the sewage outlet hole is automatically closed, thereby avoiding the leakage of sewage.

[0080] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 10 and Figure 11 , the cover 140 has a swing section 142 and a blocking section 143 arranged in sequence, and the cover 140 is rotatably arranged on the cleaning body 101 about a rotation axis, the rotation axis is located between the swing section 142 and the blocking section 143, and intersects the first direction X. When the cover 140 is in the second position, the swing section 142 is spaced apart from the cleaning body 101, and the blocking section 143 blocks the pollution 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.

[0081] When the cleaning device 100 is docked on the body 240, the pusher 210 can drive the swing section 142 to approach the cleaning body 101 during movement, and when the swing section 142 approaches the cleaning body 101, the blocking section 143 will be away from the cleaning body 101, so that the blocking section 143 cannot continue to block the pollution hole 111, the pollution hole 111 is opened, and the cover 140 moves to the position.

[0082] Further, the elastic member 141 is arranged between the swing section 142 and the cleaning body 101, and when the pusher 210 drives the swing section 142 to approach the cleaning body 101, the swing section 142 will compress the elastic member 141. After the cleaning device 100 leaves the base station 200, the pusher 210 separates from the swing section 142, and the elastic member 141 restores the deformation, thereby pushing the swing section 142 away from the cleaning body 101, and finally making the blocking section 143 approach the cleaning body 101 until the blocking section 143 blocks the pollution hole 111, and the cover 140 moves to the second position.

[0083] It should be noted that in other embodiments, the cover 140 can also move horizontally, and the pusher 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 position and the second position.

[0084] Specifically, in the embodiment 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 docked on the body 240, the pusher 210 is located below the swing section 142 of the cover 140, and the pusher 210 is movable in the vertical direction. Therefore, during the upward movement of the pusher 210, the pusher 210 will abut against the swing section 142, and drive the swing section 142 to approach the cleaning body 101, so that the blocking section 143 is separated from the cleaning body 101, thereby opening the pollution hole 111.

[0085] When the pushing member 210 moves downward, the pushing member 210 is separated from the first swing section 142, and the swing section 142 is driven by the elastic member 141 to move away from the cleaning body 101, so that the blocking section 143 blocks the pollution hole 111.

[0086] In some embodiments, in order to reduce the impact caused by the pushing member 210 contacting the cover 140 during the movement, the base station 200 further comprises a shock-absorbing member 211 which is deformable along the second direction Y. When the cleaning device 100 is docked on the body 240, the shock-absorbing member 211 is located between the pushing member 210 and the cover 140 of the cleaning device 100. During the movement of the pushing member 210, the pushing member 210 can drive the shock-absorbing member 211 to deform and make the shock-absorbing member 211 abut against the cover 140, so that the pushing member 210 can drive the cleaning device 100 to open the pollution hole 111 through the shock-absorbing member 211. In this way, the pushing member 210 does not directly contact the cover 140, but indirectly contacts the cover 140 through the shock-absorbing member 211, so that the impact on the cover 140 is reduced through the flexible shock-absorbing member 211, thereby prolonging the service life of the cover 140.

[0087] In some embodiments of the present application, referring to Figure 5 、 Figure 12 and Figure 13 , the base station 200 comprises a driving member 241 and a transmission member 243, both of which are arranged on the body 240, 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 includes but is not limited to a worm gear, a gear and a rack 212, etc.

[0088] In some embodiments, the transmission member 243 is a gear which is in transmission connection with the driving member 241, and the pushing member 210 is provided with a rack 212 which is longitudinally arranged along the second direction Y and 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.

[0089] In some embodiments, the movement of the pushing member 210 includes an extended position and a retracted position. When the cleaning device 100 is docked on the body 240 and the pushing member 210 is located at the extended position, the cover 140 is located at the first position. When the pushing member 210 is located at the retracted position, the pushing member 210 is located away from the movement path of the cleaning device 100 entering or leaving the base station 200.

[0090] Further, the base station 200 further comprises a position detection assembly 244 arranged on the body 240, the position detection assembly 244 is configured to detect the position of the pushing member 210, and when the pushing member 210 is in the extended position, the position detection assembly 244 outputs a first signal, and when the pushing member 210 is in the retracted position, the position detection assembly 244 outputs a second signal, and the driving member 241 stops driving the pushing member 210 according to the first signal or the second signal, so that the pushing member 210 stops at the first position or the second position.

[0091] Specifically, the driving member 241 is an electric motor, and when the cleaning device 100 enters the base station 200, the electric motor starts to act after receiving the signal that the cleaning device 100 is in position, and the driving gear rotates forward to drive the pushing member 210 to move upward through the rack 212, so that the pushing member 210 moves and pushes open the cover 140 to open the drain hole 111. And when the pushing member 210 moves to the extended position, the position detection assembly 244 detects that the pushing member 210 is in the extended position, and sends out a first signal, and the driving member 241 stops driving the pushing member 210 according to the first signal, so that the pushing member 210 stops at the extended position, thereby maintaining the state that the cover 140 opens the drain hole 111.

[0092] When the cleaning device 100 needs to leave the base station 200, the electric motor reverses the driving gear to drive the pushing member 210 to move downward through the rack 212 to leave the cover 140, so that the cover 140 can close the drain hole 111 under the action of the elastic member 141. And when the cover 140 moves to the retracted position, the position detection assembly 244 detects that the pushing member 210 is in the retracted position, and sends out a second signal, and the driving member 241 stops driving the pushing member 210 according to the second signal, so that the pushing member 210 stops at the retracted position, thereby avoiding the pushing member 210 affecting the movement of the cleaning device 100 leaving the base station 200.

[0093] Specifically, in some embodiments, the position detection assembly 244 comprises a first optical coupling switch 245 and a second optical coupling switch 246, and the first optical coupling switch 245 and the second optical coupling switch 246 are arranged in a spaced manner along the movement direction of the pushing member 210.

[0094] When the pusher 210 is in the extended position, the pusher 210 is located in the second optocoupler switch 246 and partially in the first optocoupler switch 245, so that the first optocoupler switch 245 is triggered to send a first signal to the processing device of the base station 200 that the pusher 210 has been moved to the position, and the processing device sends a stop signal to the driving member 241 to stop the driving member 241 from continuing to act, so that the pusher 210 is kept in the extended position, and the blowdown hole 111 can be continuously opened until the blowdown is completed, and the cleaning device 100 needs to leave the base station 200.

[0095] When the pusher 210 is in the retracted position, the pusher 210 is located in the first optocoupler switch 245 and partially in the second optocoupler switch 246. So that the second optocoupler switch 246 is triggered to send a second signal to the processing device of the base station 200 that the pusher 210 has been moved to the position, and the processing device sends a stop signal to the driving member 241 to stop the driving member 241 from continuing to act, so that the pusher 210 is kept in the retracted position, and the pusher 210 is prevented from affecting the movement of the cleaning device 100.

[0096] In some embodiments, the body 240 is provided with a limiting groove 248 extending in the second direction Y, and the pusher 210 is provided with a limiting rib 247 arranged in the limiting groove 248, so that the pusher 210 can stably move in the second direction Y through the cooperation of the limiting rib 247 and the limiting groove 248, and the movement of the pusher 210 to push the cover 140 is ensured to be accurate. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the limiting rib 247 can be arranged on the body 240, and the limiting groove 248 can be arranged on the pusher 210.

The black water tank is in communication with the sewage tank 202 through the sewage suction pipe 204, and the sewage in the sewage tank 202 can be sucked into the black water tank through the sewage suction pipe 204. After the cleaning device 100 returns to the base station 200 each time, the sewage will flow into the sewage tank 202 through the sewage discharge hole 111, and finally be sucked into the black water tank for temporary storage, so as to be uniformly processed by the user. Optionally, the base station 200 further comprises a vacuum suction member, which is used to suck the black water tank, so that the sewage in the sewage tank 202 is sucked into the black water tank under the action of air pressure.

[0103] Further, the body 240 further comprises a plurality of filtering ribs 205, all the filtering ribs 205 are protrudingly arranged on the bottom wall of the sewage tank 202 and are arranged at intervals around the circumference of the sewage suction pipe 204, so that the sewage in the sewage tank 202 will first pass through the plurality of filtering ribs 205 and then be sucked into the black water tank by the sewage suction pipe 204. During the process of passing through the plurality of filtering ribs 205, the larger impurities in the sewage will be intercepted by the filtering ribs 205, so as to avoid the impurities from entering the sewage suction pipe 204 and blocking the sewage suction pipe 204.

[0104] Specifically, in some embodiments, referring to Figure 4 The body 240 further comprises a sewage disc 251, the sewage disc 251 is detachably mounted on the base structure 250, and the sewage tank 202 is arranged on the sewage disc 251, so that the user can separately detach the sewage disc 251 from the body, thereby facilitating cleaning of the sewage tank 202.

[0105] The body 240 is arranged on the body to support the body 240 by the body, and the driving member 241, the transmission member 243, the pushing member 210 and the damping member 211 are further arranged on the body, and the sewage disc 251 is provided with a avoiding hole 252, when the sewage disc 251 is mounted on the body, the damping member 211 is located in the avoiding hole 252, or the avoiding hole 252 is located on the movement path of the pushing member 210 driving the damping member 211 to move. That is, the avoiding hole 252 is used to ensure the normal movement of the pushing member 210 and the damping member 211.

[0106] In some embodiments of the present application, the cleaning device 100 is a sweeping robot, and the base station 200 further comprises a charging device, when the sweeping robot enters the base station 200, the charging structure on the sweeping robot and the charging device on the base station 200 are mutually docked, thereby forming a charging loop to start charging, and the sweeping robot can also determine that it has been positioned on the base station 200 through the connection of the charging loop, thereby stopping moving. In other embodiments, the cleaning device 100 can also be a washing machine or other cleaning device 100 with self-cleaning function.

[0107] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the cleaning body 101 further comprises a sealing member 112, when the cover 140 closes the sewage discharge hole 111, the sealing member 112 is sealingly arranged between the cleaning body 101 and the cover 140, thereby sealing the sewage discharge hole 111 through the sealing member 112 to avoid leakage of the sewage from the gap between the sewage discharge hole 111 and the cover 140. Specifically, part of the sealing member 112 is arranged in the sewage discharge hole 111, and the other part extends out of the sewage discharge hole 111, so that when the cover 140 is located at the second position, the cover 140 can abut against the part of the sealing member 112 extending out, thereby sealing the gap between the cleaning body 101 and the cover 140 by the sealing member 112.

[0108] In some embodiments, in order to make the sewage in the sewage collecting tank 110 flow out through the sewage outlet 111 as much as possible, the bottom wall of the sewage collecting tank 110 is inclined relative to the horizontal direction when the cleaning device 100 is docked to the body 240. By inclining the bottom wall, the sewage in the sewage collecting tank 110 will flow to the lowest point of the bottom wall under the action of gravity. The sewage outlet 111 is located at the lowest point of the bottom wall of the sewage collecting tank 110 in the direction of gravity, so that the sewage in the sewage collecting tank 110 is guided to the sewage outlet 111 under the action of the bottom wall of the sewage collecting tank 110, and finally flows out from the sewage outlet 111.

[0109] Specifically, referring to FIGS. 1, 2 and 3, the cleaning body 101 further comprises a filter 113, which is arranged in the sewage collecting tank 110 and located at the lowest point of the bottom wall in the direction of gravity. The sewage outlet 111 is located in the filter 113, and the sewage in the sewage collecting tank 110 passes through the filter 113 and enters the sewage outlet 111. In this way, the filter 113 filters the larger debris in the sewage collecting tank 110, avoiding the debris from blocking the sewage outlet 111, and also allowing the debris to be left in the sewage collecting tank 110. When the user cleans the sewage collecting tank 110, the debris can be cleaned together.

[0110] The sewage collecting tank 110 has two opposite side walls, each of which is formed with a fixing groove 115. The opposite ends of the filter 113 are inserted into the two fixing grooves 115, so that the filter 113 is fixed in the fixing grooves 115 through the two fixing grooves 115. Specifically, the sewage collecting tank 110 has opposite first and second side walls in the direction of the rotation axis. The first and second side walls are each provided with two fixing columns 116 spaced apart in the first direction X. Each fixing column 116 extends longitudinally in the second direction Y. One end of the filter 113 is inserted between the two fixing columns 116 of the first side wall, and the other end is inserted between the two fixing columns 116 of the second side wall, so that the filter 113 is fixed in the fixing grooves 115.

[0111] Specifically, in the first direction X, the second direction Y and the direction of the rotation axis, the filter 113 is fixed in the fixing grooves 115. Figure 4 In some embodiments, the first direction X is the left-right direction, the second direction Y is the vertical direction, and the direction of the rotation axis is perpendicular to the direction of the paper.

[0112] In some other embodiments, the filter 113 can be arranged in the sump 110 and cover the top opening 203 of the sump 110, and the drain hole 111 can be arranged on the bottom wall of the sump 110. In this way, after the sewage enters the sump 110 from the opening 203 of the sump 110, the sewage is first filtered by the filter 113, and then the impurities are left on the filter 113, and the sewage enters the sump 110 after passing through the filter 113, and finally is discharged through the drain hole 111.

[0113] In some embodiments of the present application, referring to Figure 3 , the cleaning device 100 comprises a cleaning support 160, a waterway plate 161, and a dirt scraping plate 162. The dirt scraping plate 162 and the sump 110 are arranged on the cleaning support 160, and the waterway plate 161, the dirt scraping plate 162, and the sump 110 are arranged in sequence along the direction of gravity when the cleaning device 100 is in use. When the cleaning element 102 is rotatable about its own axis, the waterway plate 161 is used to spray cleaning liquid to the circumferential side wall of the cleaning element 102, and the dirt scraping plate 162 is in contact with the circumferential side wall of the cleaning element 102.

[0114] In some embodiments, the cleaning element 102 is a roller, the surface of the roller is provided with a mop, the waterway plate 161 can spray cleaning liquid towards the surface of the roller, and then the roller rotates. During the rotation, the surface of the roller is in constant contact with the dirt scraping plate 162, the dirt scraping plate 162 rubs the mop on the surface of the roller, and cooperates with the cleaning liquid to wash away the dirt on the mop, and then the formed sewage falls into the sump 110 in the sump 110.

[0115] Further, the cleaning body 101 comprises a clean water tank and a sewage tank. The clean water tank is used to store cleaning liquid, and the clean water tank is in communication with the waterway plate 161, so that the cleaning liquid in the clean water tank is sprayed on the cleaning element 102 through the waterway plate 161 by gravity or a water pump. The sewage tank is in communication with the sump 110, and the sewage in the sump 110 can be discharged into the sewage tank, so as to be stored in the sewage tank for the user to clean regularly.

[0116] Further, in order to enable the sewage in the sump 110 to enter the sewage tank, the cleaning body 101 further comprises a vacuumizing element and a drain pipe 114. The vacuumizing element is used to vacuumize the sewage cavity 201 in the sewage tank, and the sewage tank extends into the inside of the filter 113 of the filter tank through the drain pipe 114. In this way, under the action of the internal vacuum, the sewage in the sump 110 is sucked into the sewage tank through the drain pipe 114. In some other embodiments, the sewage in the sump 110 can also be pumped into the sewage tank by a water pump.

[0117] The base of the above-mentioned cleaning device 100 has at least the following advantages:

[0118] When the cleaning device 100 is parked on the body 240, the control device 100 is controlled to pour a large amount of water into the sump 110, so as to clean the sump 110 by the large amount of water. The large amount of water can be directly discharged into the sewage cavity 201 through the drain hole 111, that is, discharged into the base station 200, so as to facilitate centralized treatment in the base station 200, and avoid the large amount of water accumulated in the sump 110 to cause sewage overflow and pollute the surrounding environment.
