[0034] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5An embodiment of the present application provides a base station 100, comprising a plurality of electrical devices, a main body 10 and a mounting base 21. The mounting base 21 is arranged in the main body 10 and has a plurality of mounting positions for mounting the electrical devices.

[0035] The electrical devices include, but are not limited to, a water pump 31, an air pump 32, a hot water module 33, a water shortage detection module 34, a Hall element 35, a circuit board (not shown in the figure) and the like. The electrical devices are connected by pipelines 36, for example, the water pump 31 and the water shortage detection module 34, the hot water module 33 and the water pump 31 and the like. The main body 10 is the main structure of the base station 100 and serves as the overall structural framework. Specifically, the main body 10 can include a frame body 11 and a shell and the like.

[0036] The electrical devices are assembled to different mounting positions of the mounting base 21 and then assembled into the main body 10 through the mounting base 21. The mounting base 21 can be mounted on the frame body 11 by screws, buckles and the like and covered by the shell.

[0037] Specifically, the main body 10 has an assembly position for assembling the mounting base 21. The assembly position can be located in the middle of the rear side of the main body 10. After the mounting base 21 is mounted, the mounting base 21 can be covered by the shell on the rear side. The main body 10 has a screw column 13 and a positioning column 15. The mounting base 21 has a screw hole 211 matched with the screw column 13 and a positioning hole 213 matched with the positioning column 15.

[0038] The above base station 100 is internally provided with the mounting base 21. The electrical devices in the base station 100 can be centrally arranged on the mounting base 21, thereby shortening the pipelines and wires between the electrical devices in the base station 100 and making the pipelines and wires more simple. In addition, the centralized mounting of the electrical devices can also help to reduce the assembly difficulty and improve the assembly convenience.

[0039] In some embodiments, the base station 100 further comprises a cover body 23. The cover body 23 is arranged on the mounting base 21 and forms an electrical device box 20 together with the mounting base 21. Specifically, the cover body 23 can also be integrally formed with the shell of the main body 10.

[0040] In this way, the cover body 23 is arranged on the mounting base 21 and can cover the electrical devices arranged on the mounting positions of the mounting base 21, thereby protecting the electrical devices and improving the dustproof and waterproof performance of the inside of the base station 100.

[0041] Further, the mounting base 21 has a first side and a second side 215 arranged oppositely. Both the first side and the second side 215 have mounting positions.

[0042] It can be understood that when the mounting base 21 is assembled, the first side faces outward as an outer side and the second side 215 faces inward as an inner side. That is, when the shell is not mounted to cover the mounting base 21, the first side is exposed to the outside.

[0043] Thus, the two sides of the mounting base 21 can be installed with electrical devices, so that the number of mounting positions can be increased, which helps to increase the number of electrical devices that can be installed on the mounting base 21, and further improves the concentration of electrical devices in the base station 100.

[0044] Further, the circuit board is arranged on the first side of the mounting base 21.

[0045] The circuit board can be fixed to the first side of the mounting base 21, i.e., the outer side of the mounting base 21, and the electrical devices such as the water pump 31, the air pump 32, the hot water module 33, the water shortage detection module 34, and the Hall element 35 can be installed and fixed to the second side 215 of the mounting base 21, i.e., the inner side of the mounting base 21.

[0046] Thus, the circuit board can be protected by the cover 23 on the first side to reduce the probability of water entering.

[0047] It can be understood that in some other embodiments, the electrical devices such as the water pump 31, the air pump 32, the hot water module 33, the water shortage detection module 34, and the Hall element 35 can also be installed and fixed to the first side of the mounting base 21, i.e., the outer side of the mounting base 21, and the circuit board can be fixed to the second side 215 of the mounting base 21, i.e., the inner side of the mounting base 21, which is not specifically limited herein.

[0048] In some embodiments, the base station 100 further comprises a pipe clamp 40 arranged on the mounting base 21. It can be understood that the pipe clamp 40 can clamp the pipe 36 to fix the pipe 36 or constrain the running direction of the pipe 36.

[0049] Thus, the pipe 36 of the electrical devices on the mounting base 21 can be clamped by the pipe clamp 40, so that the stability of the pipe 36 is improved.

[0050] In some embodiments, the surface of the cover 23 away from the mounting base 21 has a pipe running groove 231, and the pipe 36 in the base station 100 can run along the pipe running groove 231. Thus, the pipe 36 can be constrained by the pipe running groove 231 to improve its stability.

[0051] Please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the plurality of electrical devices comprises a pump body comprising the water pump 31 and / or the air pump 32. The base station 100 further comprises a first support 51, and the pump body is fixed to the mounting position by the first support 51.

[0052] Thus, the first support 51 can reduce the difficulty of installing the pump body, so that the pump body can be stably installed on the mounting position of the mounting base 21.

[0053] Further, the base station 100 further comprises a shock-absorbing pad 52, which is arranged on the pump body and between the pump body and the first support 51 and / or between the first support 51 and the mounting base 21.

[0054] Specifically, the shock-absorbing pad 52 is arranged between the mounting base 21 and the first support 51 of the water pump 31 and between the mounting base 21 and the first support 51 of the air pump 32. The shock-absorbing pad 52 is a piece of shock-absorbing sponge (in other embodiments, the shock-absorbing pad 52 can also be a rubber piece or a silica gel piece) similar in size to the outer side of the water pump 31 and the air pump 32, and the shock-absorbing pad 52 is rolled up to wrap the water pump 31 and the air pump 32.

[0055] In this way, the shock-absorbing pad 52 can be used to reduce the vibration transmitted by the water pump 31 and the air pump 32 to the outside, thereby improving the operation stability of the base station 100.

[0056] In some embodiments, the base station 100 further comprises a second support 53, and the hot water module 33 is mounted on the mounting base 21 through the second support 53.

[0057] In this way, the second support 53 can reduce the installation difficulty of the hot water module 33, so that the hot water module 33 can be stably mounted on the mounting base 21.

[0058] In addition, the base station 100 can further comprise heat insulation cotton 54, which at least partially wraps the hot water module 33 to improve the heat utilization rate thereof.

[0059] In some embodiments, the base station 100 further comprises a third support 55, and the Hall element 35 is mounted on the mounting base 21 through the third support 55.

[0060] In this way, the third support 55 can reduce the installation difficulty of the Hall element 35, so that the Hall element 35 can be stably mounted on the mounting base 21.

[0061] Please refer to Figure 8 In some embodiments, the water shortage detection module 34 comprises a PCB board 341, a sealing block 342, a pipe clamp, and a sealing cover 343.

[0062] The water shortage detection module 34 is used to detect whether there is water flowing in the waterway, and the pipe clamp comprises a pipe portion 344 and a fixing portion 345, the pipe portion 344 is used to connect the pipe 36, and the fixing portion 345 is used to fix the PCB board 341, the sealing block 342, and the sealing cover 343 are used to seal the upper and lower sides of the pipe clamp to form a detection flow path.

[0063] For the convenience of understanding, the assembly process of the base station 100 is briefly described as follows: first, the electrical devices such as the water pump 31, the air pump 32, the hot water module 33, the water shortage detection module 34, the Hall element 35, etc. are installed and fixed to the second side 215 of the installation base body 21, i.e. the inner side of the installation base body 21. In this process, part of the silica gel pipes of the electrical devices are also installed and connected, and are constrained and fixed by pipe clamps. Then the circuit board is fixed to the first side of the installation base body 21, i.e. the outer side of the installation base body 21, by screws. The wiring of part of the related electrical devices is installed, the installation base body 21 is fixed to the main body 10 of the base station 100 by screws, the installation of the remaining silica gel pipes and wires is completed, the cover body 23 is covered and fixed by screws, and the assembly of the electrical box 20 is completed.

[0064] The base station 100 described above, the electrical box 20 is used to assemble various electrical devices, and the setting position of the electrical box 20 can be in the middle of the base station 100. The inner and outer sides of the installation base body 21 in the electrical box 20 both have installation positions for installing various electrical devices in the base station 100. The electrical box 20 is a heat-resistant plastic part, and the outer shape is generally in the state of a cuboid. The various electrical devices in the base station 100 include but are not limited to a circuit board, a water pump 31, an air pump 32, a hot water module 33, a water shortage detection module 34, etc. Such electrical devices are fixed on the installation base body 21 of the electrical box 20 by screws or other means. Among them, the water pump 31 and the air pump 32 are fixed to the installation base body 21 by the first bracket 51 respectively. The reason for such arrangement is that this kind of fixing method can effectively make the water pump 31 and the air pump 32 stable on the installation base body 21.

[0065] In addition, the base station 100 also has a shock pad 52 for damping the water pump 31 and the air pump 32, and the setting position is between the installation base body 21 and the first bracket 51 of the water pump 31 and the installation base body 21 and the first bracket 51 of the air pump 32. The shock pad 52 is a piece of shock sponge similar in size to the outer side of the water pump 31 and the air pump 32, which is rolled up to wrap the water pump 31 and the air pump 32, and is used to reduce the vibration transmitted by the water pump 31 and the air pump 32 to the outside. Among them, the shock pad 52 is configured with a suitable interference amount to ensure that the water pump 31 and the air pump 32 will not be loose due to loose fixing, nor will they not play a damping role due to tight fixing.

[0066] In this way, almost all electrical devices (such as the circuit board, the water pump 31, the air pump 32, etc.) of the base station 100 of the sweeping robot are arranged on the electrical box 20, effectively shortening the pipe and wire in the base station 100, and making the pipe and wire more concise and beneficial. Among them, the circuit board is installed on the first side of the installation base body 21 which is located on the outer side, and the cover body 23 is covered on the first side of the installation base body 21 to realize the waterproof of the circuit board. The pipe groove 231 provided on the cover body 23 is used to realize the pipe of the silica gel pipe, so that the pipe of the silica gel pipe is more orderly and stable.

[0067] The application further provides a sweeping machine comprising the base station 100. It can be understood that, in order to realize its normal function, the sweeping machine further comprises a sweeping machine body, which is used to perform cleaning work and can cooperate with the base station 100, and the base station 100 can charge and clean the sweeping machine body.

[0068] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any manner. In order to make the description simple, all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are not described, but as long as the combinations of the technical features do not exist, they should be considered as the scope of the description.

[0069] The above embodiments only express several implementation manners of the application, and the description is relatively specific and detailed, but it should not be understood as a limitation on the patent application scope. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary skilled persons in the art, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the application, and these all belong to the protection scope of the application. Therefore, the patent protection scope of the application should be subject to the appended claims.
