[0025] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the cleaning robot base station in this embodiment includes a housing 1, a support plate 2, a fan 3, and a dust collection box 5.

[0027] The support plate 2 is vertically adjustable within the housing 1 to support the cleaning robot. This support plate 2 divides the space within the housing 1 into two compartments, allowing for the storage and placement of two cleaning robots within the housing 1. To facilitate the lifting and lowering of the support plate 2, a drive mechanism can be installed within the housing 1. This drive mechanism is connected to the support plate 2 and drives it to lift and lower. The drive mechanism can be any existing drive mechanism capable of lifting and lowering.

[0028] The fan 3 is installed inside the casing 1. The air outlet of the fan 3 is connected to the air outlet pipe 4. The fan 3 is used to connect with the dust collection box 5, and then the operation of the fan 3 provides negative pressure to the dust collection box 5 to achieve dust collection.

[0029] The dust collection box 5 is installed inside the casing 1. The dust collection box 5 has a dust inlet 51 and a negative pressure port 52 connected to the fan 3.

[0030] A dust collection port 11 is provided at the bottom of the housing 1. The dust collection port 11 is connected to the dust inlet 51 of the dust collection box 5 through a dust collection channel 12. The specific structure of the dust collection channel 12 can be set according to its direction. In this embodiment, part of the integrated channel is formed at the bottom of the housing 1, and the other part is a tube structure. The two parts are connected to each other to form the dust collection channel 12. In use, a cleaning robot can be placed on the bottom of the housing 1. The dust discharge port of the cleaning robot is connected to the dust collection port 11. Then, the fan 3 is controlled to work. Based on the negative pressure, the garbage in the cleaning robot is output through the dust discharge port into the dust collection channel 12 and finally enters the dust collection box 5.

[0031] The connection pipe 21 of the dust discharging port of the cleaning robot is arranged on the bearing plate 2. In the embodiment, the edge of the bearing plate 2 is surrounded by the surrounding plate 22, which is arranged on the left side, the right side and the rear side of the bearing plate 2. The posture of the cleaning robot is kept as the set posture when the cleaning robot moves to the bearing plate 2 through the limitation of the surrounding plate 22, so that the dust discharging port of the cleaning robot can be accurately connected with the connection pipe 21.

[0032] In addition, the connection pipe 21 can also be connected with the dust collecting channel 12. The connection structure of the connection pipe 21 and the dust collecting channel 12 can be set according to the needs. For example, the connection pipe 21 and the dust collecting channel 12 are connected in a fixed connection mode, and the connection pipe 21 can be a telescopic pipe to move up and down with the bearing plate 2. However, in order to ensure the service life of the connection pipe 21 and facilitate the connection with the connection pipe 21 and the cleaning robot placed on the bearing plate 2 to collect dust, the dust collecting channel 12 in the embodiment is externally provided with a connection pipe 121, that is, the dust collecting channel 12 and the channel in the connection pipe 121 together form a Y-shaped channel. In this way, the connection pipe 21 is connected with the dust collecting channel 12 through the connection pipe 121. In the embodiment, the connection pipe 21 is connected with the connection pipe 121 in a moving mode based on the lifting of the bearing plate 2. Specifically, the mouth of the connection pipe 21 and the mouth of the connection pipe 121 are arranged in opposite directions, and the mouth of the connection pipe 21 is connected with or disconnected from the mouth of the connection pipe 121 based on the lifting of the bearing plate 2. When the connection pipe 21 rises to the upper limit position with the bearing plate 2, the mouth of the connection pipe 21 is connected with the mouth of the connection pipe 121, so that the dust discharging port of the cleaning robot on the bearing plate 2 is connected with the dust collecting channel 12. Based on the working of the fan 3, the dust collecting work of the cleaning robot is realized. When the connection pipe 21 moves downward with the bearing plate 2, the mouth of the connection pipe 21 is disconnected from the mouth of the connection pipe 121, so that the cleaning robot placed on the bearing plate 2 does not perform the dust collecting work.

[0033] In addition, in the embodiment, the mouth of the connection pipe 21 is connected with or disconnected from the mouth of the connection pipe 121 based on the lifting of the bearing plate 2. In order to ensure the sealing and stability of the connection between the connection pipe 21 and the connection pipe 121 based on the lifting of the bearing plate 2, the mouth of the connection pipe 21 is connected with the mouth of the connection pipe 121 in the up-down direction. Specifically, the end of the connection pipe 21 is curved upward, and the end of the connection pipe 121 is curved and extends above the connection pipe 21. In this way, the mouth of the connection pipe 21 and the mouth of the connection pipe 121 are opposite in the up-down direction. Based on the lifting of the connection pipe 21 with the bearing plate 2, the mouth of the connection pipe 21 and the mouth of the connection pipe 121 are connected or separated. When connected, the pressing effect is good, the connection is tight, the sealing of the dust collecting channel 12 during the dust collecting process is good, and the dust collecting effect is better.

[0034] In order to further ensure the sealing of the connection between the docking pipe 121 and the connecting pipe 21, improve the dust collection effect, the mouth of the docking pipe 121 and / or the mouth of the connecting pipe 21 is provided with a sealing element 6 in the circumferential direction. The sealing element 6 in the embodiment is a shell compression type sealing structure. In this way, based on the docking and extrusion of the mouth of the docking pipe 121 and the mouth of the connecting pipe 21, the sealing element 6 can be compressed, and the sealing degree of the connection between the docking pipe 121 and the connecting pipe 21 is improved.

[0035] The cleaning robot base station in the embodiment, based on the dust collection port 11 structure at the bottom of the shell 1 and the connection of the connecting pipe 21 and the docking pipe 121 on the bearing plate 2, during use, one of the cleaning robots can be parked on the bearing plate and connected to the connecting pipe 21, and the other robot can be placed on the bottom of the shell 1 and connected to the dust collection port 11, and the two cleaning robots can perform dust collection at the same time. The garbage discharged during the dust collection process enters the dust collection box 5 through the dust collection channel 12, and the dust collection work is completed. The dust collection effect is high, and the dust collection noise time is short.

[0036] In order to reduce the noise generated by the fluid collision on the side wall of the air outlet pipe 4, reduce the wind noise, the cross-sectional area of the air inlet end of the air outlet pipe 4 is smaller than the cross-sectional area of the air outlet end. In order to further reduce the wind noise, the downstream section of the air outlet pipe 4 gradually expands outward to form a horn shape. And the air outlet pipe 4 is provided with a noise reduction body 7 with air outlet mesh, such as a sponge can be selected as the noise reduction body 7, in order to ensure effective air outlet, the noise reduction body 7 is mainly placed in the downstream section of the air outlet pipe 4. In addition, in order to increase the volume of the fluid passing through the noise reduction body 7, the downstream section of the air outlet pipe 4 is gradually curved backward, so as to further reduce the noise.

[0037] The cleaning robot base station in the embodiment, based on the bearing plate 2, can realize the storage of two cleaning robots. Not only one dust collection port 11 is arranged on the bottom of the shell 1 for one cleaning robot to perform dust collection work, but also a connecting pipe 21 capable of being connected to the dust discharge port of the cleaning robot is arranged on the bearing plate 2 for bearing another cleaning robot, so as to realize the connection between the connecting pipe 21 and the dust collection channel 12 during the lifting of the bearing plate 2, and the dust collection work of another cleaning robot is satisfied through the connecting pipe 21. In this way, the cleaning robot base station in the embodiment can supply two cleaning robots to perform dust collection work at the same time, improve the dust collection efficiency, and shorten the noise time caused by dust collection, and improve the user experience.
