Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of cleaning equipment technology, and in particular to a base station base, a cleaning base station, and a cleaning system. Background Technology

[0002] Cleaning equipment such as robot vacuums have become an indispensable part of daily cleaning. Robot vacuums clean floors using reusable or disposable cleaning parts, such as mops. To ensure cleaning effectiveness, robot vacuums are equipped with cleaning stations to wash the mops.

[0003] Existing sweepers typically use an instant heating module to heat water, and then pump the heated water into the washing tray to achieve the function of washing the mop with hot water.

[0004] However, the cleaning stations of robotic vacuum cleaners are usually installed close to the ground. Traditional heating methods can cause heat to spread to the ground, which may damage or deform the ground, especially wooden floors. Utility Model Content

[0005] This application provides a base station base, a cleaning base station, and a cleaning system, which can prevent the heat from the heating device from causing damage or deformation to the ground, thereby protecting the floor.

[0006] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a base station base, comprising: a base body having an accommodating space; a cleaning tray fixedly connected to the base body and dividing the accommodating space into a cleaning cavity located on the upper side of the cleaning tray and an assembly cavity located on the lower side of the cleaning tray, wherein the cleaning cavity is used to clean cleaning components of a cleaning device; a heating device, at least partially disposed in the assembly cavity and connected to the cleaning tray, and adapted to heat the cleaning liquid in the cleaning cavity; and a heat-insulating structure located in the assembly cavity and used to limit the diffusion of heat from the heating device to the ground.

[0007] Thus, by setting up a heat-insulating structure inside the assembly cavity, the heat generated by the heating device can be effectively limited from spreading to the ground, preventing damage or deformation of the wooden floor due to high temperatures. Furthermore, by placing the heating device inside the assembly cavity and directly heating the cleaning fluid in the cleaning cavity, the problem of scale accumulation in traditional instant heating module pipes is avoided, thereby improving heating efficiency, reducing maintenance needs, and extending the service life of the base station base.

[0008] In one possible implementation, the cleaning tray is provided with a mounting hole, and the heating device includes: a heating element; a heat-conducting element, at least a portion of the structure of the heat-conducting element is embedded in the mounting hole and forms part of the cavity wall of the cleaning cavity, the heating element is disposed in the assembly cavity and is in contact with at least the portion of the heat-conducting element located in the mounting hole.

[0009] Thus, by setting mounting holes on the cleaning tray and embedding at least partially the heat-conducting component of the heating device within these holes, the heat-conducting component can directly form part of the cavity wall of the cleaning chamber, while the heating element is located inside the assembly cavity and in contact with the heat-conducting component, achieving efficient heat transfer. This design not only ensures that the cleaning fluid can be rapidly heated to the required temperature, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the cloth, but also reduces intermediate heat transfer links, avoiding the scale problem present in the pipes of traditional instant heating modules.

[0010] In one possible implementation, the heat-conducting element includes a heat-conducting portion and a protective portion, wherein the heat-conducting portion is embedded in the mounting hole, and the protective portion covers the heat-generating element and is connected to the heat-conducting portion.

[0011] In this way, the heat-conducting part can directly contact the cleaning fluid, ensuring that heat can be quickly transferred to the cleaning fluid within the cleaning chamber, thereby improving heating efficiency and cleaning effect. Furthermore, the protective part effectively isolates and protects the heat-generating component, preventing direct contact with the external environment and avoiding potential damage and safety risks. In addition, the connection design between the protective part and the heat-conducting part not only enhances the overall structural stability but also optimizes the heat conduction path, reduces heat loss, and improves energy utilization efficiency.

[0012] In one possible implementation, the heat-insulating structure includes a baffle extending around the heating device and defining a heating chamber surrounding the heating device together with the bottom wall of the assembly cavity.

[0013] Thus, by setting up baffles, the heating device's influence on the external environment can be effectively prevented. The baffles and the bottom wall of the assembly cavity can form a closed heating chamber, which can limit the diffusion of heat to the ground below the base station base, preventing ground damage or deformation caused by high temperatures, especially for wooden floors. In addition, the design of the heating chamber helps to concentrate and retain heat, thereby improving heating efficiency and reducing energy loss.

[0014] In one possible implementation, the rib is formed on at least one of the seat and the washing tray.

[0015] In this way, integrating the ribs directly into the base or cleaning tray simplifies the overall structure of the base station base, reduces the number of independent components, and thus lowers assembly complexity and manufacturing costs. Furthermore, by placing the ribs on the base or cleaning tray, they can fit more tightly against the heating device, ensuring that they, together with the bottom wall of the assembly cavity, define a heating chamber, effectively preventing heat from diffusing to the ground or outside the heating chamber.

[0016] In one possible implementation, the heat-insulating structure includes a heat-insulating pad disposed on the side of the heating device facing away from the cleaning chamber, the heat-insulating pad covering the heating device.

[0017] Thus, by installing a heat insulation pad, the heat generated by the heating device can be effectively blocked from being conducted to the ground beneath the base station, preventing damage or deformation of the ground due to high temperatures. Furthermore, the heat insulation pad covers the entire heating device, limiting the disorderly diffusion of heat and concentrating the heat energy, allowing more heat to be effectively utilized in the heating process of the cleaning fluid. In addition, the heat insulation pad acts as a physical barrier, enhancing the safety of the heating device and preventing burns or other safety hazards caused by accidental contact, while also protecting the internal components of the heating device from external factors.

[0018] In one possible implementation, the heat insulation pad is connected to at least one of the washing tray and the seat.

[0019] In this way, directly connecting the heat insulation pad to the cleaning tray or base ensures a stable installation and avoids displacement or detachment caused by vibration of the base station base or long-term use, thus providing continuous and reliable heat insulation protection.

[0020] In one possible implementation, the heat insulation pad is one of foamed silicone, aerogel, aluminum silicate cotton, glass wool, and rock wool.

[0021] Thus, the heat insulation pad has excellent heat insulation performance, which can effectively prevent the heat generated by the heating device from being conducted to the ground below the base station.

[0022] In one possible implementation, the heat-resistant structure is a heat-insulating coating applied to the surface of the heat-conducting component located on one side of the assembly cavity.

[0023] In this way, the heat-insulating coating can effectively prevent heat from spreading disorderly from the heating device to the ground beneath the base station base. Furthermore, the heat-insulating coating can be directly applied to the surface of the heat-conducting components, simplifying the assembly process and eliminating the need for additional parts, thus reducing manufacturing costs. Moreover, applying the heat-insulating coating to the surface of the heat-conducting components does not increase the overall volume of the base station base, maintaining its compact structure.

[0024] In one possible implementation, the heat-resistant structure is formed as a heat dissipation channel, at least a portion of the surface of the heating device constitutes the channel wall of the heat dissipation channel, and the assembly cavity is provided with ventilation holes communicating with the heat dissipation channel.

[0025] In this way, by using part of the surface of the heating device as the channel wall of the heat dissipation channel, heat can be effectively conducted and dispersed, avoiding localized overheating caused by excessive heat concentration and ensuring the safe operation of the heating device. Furthermore, the design of the heat dissipation channel combined with ventilation holes promotes air convection, allowing heat to be exhausted from the base station base and preventing heat from spreading to the ground.

[0026] In one possible implementation, the base station base also includes an airflow drive for driving airflow through the heat dissipation channel to remove heat from the assembly cavity through the ventilation holes.

[0027] Thus, by setting up airflow drive components, heat dissipation efficiency can be enhanced to ensure that the heat generated by the heating device can be carried away by convection, avoiding overheating problems caused by insufficient natural convection.

[0028] In one possible implementation, the airflow drive is disposed in the assembly cavity and located at one end of the heat dissipation channel.

[0029] By placing the airflow drive component at one end of the heat dissipation channel, it can be ensured that the airflow enters and passes through the entire heat dissipation channel directly through the shortest path, thereby achieving efficient convective heat dissipation, which in turn removes the heat generated by the heating device and prevents overheating.

[0030] In one possible implementation, the heat-insulating structure further includes a water passage component connected to the heating device, the water passage component forming a liquid cooling channel, the liquid cooling channel being adapted to allow cooling water to flow through it.

[0031] Thus, by introducing water-cooled components, these components can utilize the cooling water within the liquid-cooled channels as a medium to exchange heat with the heating device, thereby efficiently absorbing and removing the heat generated by the heating device. Secondly, compared to air cooling, liquid cooling has higher heat transfer efficiency and lower noise levels. By incorporating water-cooled components, not only can heat dissipation performance be improved, but a quieter operating environment can also be provided for users.

[0032] In one possible implementation, the base station base has a water inlet pipe communicating with the cleaning chamber, the inlet of the water component is connected to either the water inlet pipe or an external water source, and the outlet of the water component is connected to either the cleaning chamber or the outside.

[0033] In this way, the inlet of the water system can be selectively connected to the inlet pipe or an external water source, while the outlet can also be selectively connected to the cleaning chamber or the outside, improving the flexibility and applicability of the base station base. Directly connecting the inlet of the water system to the inlet pipe or an external water source ensures a stable supply of cooling water, and this flexible water supply design allows users to choose the most suitable cooling water source based on actual conditions. Connecting the outlet of the water system to the cleaning chamber or the outside provides multiple heat dissipation path options. Furthermore, if the outlet of the water system is connected to the cleaning chamber, the cooling water, already heated during its passage through the liquid cooling channel, can be rapidly heated to the specified temperature upon entering the cleaning chamber, thereby improving heating efficiency and enabling the reuse of cooling water.

[0034] In one possible implementation, the heating element is one of a heating element, a heating wire, a thermostat, or a fuse.

[0035] In this way, the heating element can provide efficient and uniform heat distribution, ensuring that the water in the cleaning chamber is heated to the required temperature quickly, thus improving the cleaning effect and efficiency of the cloth.

[0036] On the other hand, this application provides a cleaning base station, including: a base station base as described in any of the above possible implementations; a base station body disposed on the upper side of the base station base and connected to the base station base, wherein the base station body and the base station base jointly define a working cavity with an opening on one side, and the cleaning cavity constitutes a part of the working cavity.

[0037] Thus, by placing the heating device within the assembly cavity and directly heating the cleaning fluid within the cleaning cavity, the heating efficiency of the cleaning base station can be improved. Secondly, by incorporating a heat-insulating structure within the assembly cavity, the heat generated by the heating device can be effectively limited from diffusing to the ground, preventing damage or deformation of the wooden floor due to high temperatures. Furthermore, the base station body and base station base together define a working cavity with an opening on one side, and the cleaning cavity forms part of the working cavity, ensuring a compact overall structure and optimizing the spatial layout of the cleaning base station.

[0038] On the other hand, embodiments of this application provide a cleaning system, including: a cleaning device having a cleaning component for cleaning a surface to be cleaned; and the aforementioned cleaning base station, wherein when the cleaning device is placed in the cleaning base station, the cleaning component is adapted to perform self-cleaning within the cleaning chamber.

[0039] Thus, by placing the heating device inside the assembly cavity and directly heating the cleaning fluid within the cleaning cavity, the heating efficiency of the cleaning base station can be improved. Furthermore, by introducing a heat-resistant structure, the cleaning system can effectively manage heat, thereby protecting the ground in contact with the cleaning base station from high-temperature damage and maintaining stable operation of the cleaning system for extended periods, thus extending the system's lifespan.

[0061] The accompanying drawings have illustrated specific embodiments of this application, which will be described in more detail below. These drawings and descriptions are not intended to limit the scope of the concept in any way, but rather to illustrate the concept of this application to those skilled in the art through reference to specific embodiments. Detailed Implementation

[0062] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this application as detailed in the appended claims.

[0063] Existing floor scrubbers or sweepers typically use an instant heating module to heat water, then pump the heated water into the cleaning tray to wash the mop. However, water at high temperatures easily forms scale, especially in hard water. Prolonged use can cause scale buildup on the inner walls of the instant heating module's pipes, reducing heating efficiency, increasing energy consumption, and potentially shortening the module's lifespan. Furthermore, the cleaning station of a sweeper is usually installed close to the ground; traditional heating methods cause heat to diffuse onto the floor, potentially damaging or deforming the surface, especially on wooden floors.

[0064] In view of this, this application provides a base station base, a cleaning base station, and a cleaning system. By setting a heat-insulating structure inside the assembly cavity, the heat generated by the heating device can be effectively limited to diffuse to the ground, preventing damage or deformation of the wooden floor due to high temperatures. Furthermore, by placing the heating device inside the assembly cavity and directly heating the cleaning fluid located in the cleaning cavity, the problem of scale accumulation in the pipes of traditional instant heating modules is avoided, thereby improving heating efficiency, reducing maintenance needs, and extending the service life of the base station base.

[0065] The technical solution of this application and how the technical solution of this application solves the above-mentioned technical problems are described in detail below with specific embodiments. These specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described again in some embodiments. The embodiments of this application will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0066] It should be noted that the base station base provided in this application embodiment is applicable to various cleaning base stations. For example, floor scrubber cleaning base stations, sweeper cleaning base stations, commercial cleaning base stations, etc. The cleaning base station provided in this application embodiment is applicable to various cleaning equipment. For example, floor scrubbers, sweepers, commercial cleaning equipment, pet cleaning equipment, etc.

[0067] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the base station base 10 provided in this embodiment includes a base body 110, a cleaning tray 120, a heating device 130, and a heat-insulating structure 140. The base body 110 serves as the foundation structure of the base station base 10, providing support. The base body 110 has an accommodating space for accommodating the cleaning tray 120, the heating device 130, and the heat-insulating structure 140. The base body 110 may also be provided with an access ramp for carrying and guiding cleaning equipment into and out of the base station 10, allowing the cleaning equipment to smoothly and easily enter the base station base 10 for charging, cleaning, and other operations. The cleaning tray 120 can be fixedly mounted on the base body 110. The cleaning tray 120 divides the accommodating space into two parts. The portion located on the upper side of the cleaning tray 120 serves as a cleaning cavity 111, while the portion located on the lower side of the cleaning tray 120 serves as an assembly cavity 112. The cleaning cavity 111 is used to clean the cleaning components of the cleaning equipment. Assembly cavity 112 is used to house heating device 130 and heat-insulating structure 140. Cleaning tray 120, as part of cleaning cavity 111, can directly participate in the cleaning process of cleaning items (such as rags). Optionally, cleaning tray 120 may also be equipped with nozzles for spraying cleaning fluid or water onto the cleaning items to complete the cleaning process.

[0068] Furthermore, the heating device 130 can be connected to the cleaning tray 120 for heating the cleaning fluid in the cleaning chamber 111. The entire structure of the heating device 130 can be located within the assembly chamber 112, or a portion of the heating device 130 can be located within the assembly chamber 112, and another portion within the cleaning chamber 111. Optionally, the heating device 130 may also include a temperature sensor or other monitoring device extending into the cleaning chamber 111 for real-time monitoring of the cleaning fluid temperature. A heat-insulating structure 140 can be located within the assembly chamber 112, between the heating device 130 and the ground, and the heat-insulating structure 140 is used to limit the diffusion of heat from the heating device 130 to the ground.

[0069] Understandably, by providing a heat-insulating structure 140 within the assembly cavity 112, the heat generated by the heating device 130 can be effectively limited from spreading to the ground, preventing damage or deformation of the wooden floor due to high temperatures. Furthermore, by placing the heating device 130 within the assembly cavity 112 and directly heating the cleaning fluid within the cleaning cavity 111, the problem of scale accumulation in traditional instant heating module pipes is avoided, thereby improving heating efficiency, reducing maintenance requirements, and extending the service life of the base station base 10.

[0070] In one possible implementation, the cleaning tray 120 is provided with a mounting hole 121. Optionally, the cleaning tray 120 can be made of stainless steel, aluminum alloy, or heat-resistant engineering plastics. For example, polyamide, polypropylene, polycarbonate, and polyphenylene sulfide. Part of the structure of the heating device 130 can be disposed within the cleaning chamber 111 through the mounting hole 121. The heating device 130 includes a heating element 131 and a heat-conducting element 132. The heating element 131 generates heat. The heating element 131 can convert electrical energy into heat energy, serving as a heat source for heating the cleaning fluid within the cleaning chamber 111. The heat-conducting element 132 can conduct the heat generated by the heating element 131 to the target area requiring heating (such as the cleaning chamber 111). Part of the structure of the heat-conducting element 132 can be embedded in the mounting hole 121, or the entire structure of the heat-conducting element 132 can be embedded in the mounting hole 121. Simultaneously, part or all of the heat-conducting element 132 embedded in the cleaning chamber 111 through the mounting hole 121 can also constitute part of the chamber wall of the cleaning chamber 111. The heating element 131 can be disposed within the assembly cavity 112. Furthermore, the heating element 131 can contact the portion of the heat-conducting element 132 located in the mounting hole 121, or the heating element 131 can contact the heat-conducting element 132 at multiple points to improve the overall uniformity of heat conduction and avoid local overheating. Alternatively, the heating element 131 can be embedded in the heat-conducting element 132, that is, the heating element 131 is partially or completely embedded inside the heat-conducting element 132 to form an integrated structure.

[0071] It is understandable that by providing mounting holes 121 on the cleaning tray 120 and at least partially embedding the heat-conducting element 132 of the heating device 130 into these mounting holes 121, the heat-conducting element 132 can directly form part of the cavity wall of the cleaning chamber 111, while the heating element 131 is located within the assembly cavity 112 and in contact with the heat-conducting element 132, achieving efficient heat transfer. This design not only ensures that the cleaning fluid can be rapidly heated to the required temperature, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the cloth, but also reduces intermediate heat transfer links, avoiding the scale problem present in the pipes of traditional instant heating modules.

[0072] In one possible implementation, see Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 9 As shown, the heat-conducting component 132 includes a heat-conducting portion 1321 and a protective portion 1322. The heat-conducting portion 1321 can be embedded in the mounting hole 121 and forms part of the cavity wall of the cleaning chamber 111. The protective portion 1322 can enclose the heat-generating component 131 and is connected to the heat-conducting portion 1321. Optionally, the shape of the heat-conducting portion 1321 can be semi-circular, elliptical, rectangular, irregular, etc. The shape of the mounting hole 121 can also be semi-circular, elliptical, rectangular, irregular, etc. For example, the outline of an irregularly shaped mounting hole 121 can be a hyperbolic profile symmetrical along its major axis. That is, a closed curve symmetrical along its major axis, with different curvatures on both sides, wider at one end and gradually narrowing at the other end, forming an overall waist-shaped or waist-like shape. The specific shape of the mounting hole 121 depends on the design and installation requirements of the heat-conducting portion 1321, and this application does not impose any limitations. Furthermore, the mounting hole 121 can also be designed as a stepped hole or a multi-level hole to better accommodate the heat-conducting part 1321 and the protective part 1322 of different thicknesses. The edges of the mounting hole 121 can be chamfered or rounded to reduce stress concentration and extend service life. A heat-insulating material, such as a silicone pad, aerogel pad, or other high-efficiency heat-insulating material, can also be provided between the heat-conducting part 1321 and the mounting hole 121. This ensures good heat conduction while preventing the cleaning tray 120 from overheating.

[0073] In one possible design, the cleaning tray 120 can be provided with multiple sub-cleaning chambers and multiple mounting holes 121. Each sub-cleaning chamber corresponds one-to-one with a mounting hole 121. For example, the cleaning tray 120 can have two sub-cleaning chambers and two mounting holes 121. Reinforcing ribs can be provided on the bottom or sides of the cleaning tray 120 to enhance the rigidity and stability of the overall structure. Positioning pins or guide grooves can also be provided on the cleaning tray 120 to help accurately install and fix the heat-conducting part 1321 and the protective part 1322, ensuring consistent positioning during each assembly. The protective part 1322 can be installed on the side of the cleaning tray 120 facing the assembly cavity 112 using screws, clips, or other fixing devices to ensure its long-term stable operation. Furthermore, partition plates can be provided between adjacent sub-cleaning chambers to prevent cross-contamination of the cleaning fluid, ensuring that the cleaning process in each sub-cleaning chamber is carried out independently. Drainage channels can also be provided between the sub-cleaning chambers for draining wastewater after cleaning. An overflow port is also provided on each sub-cleaning chamber to prevent the cleaning fluid from overflowing.

[0074] Understandably, the heat-conducting part 1321 can directly contact the cleaning fluid to ensure that heat can be quickly transferred to the cleaning fluid in the cleaning chamber 111, thereby improving heating efficiency and cleaning effect. Furthermore, the protective part 1322 effectively isolates and protects the heating element 131, preventing it from direct contact with the external environment and avoiding potential damage and safety risks. In addition, the connection design between the protective part 1322 and the heat-conducting part 1321 not only enhances the overall stability of the structure but also optimizes the heat conduction path, reduces heat loss, and improves energy utilization efficiency.

[0075] In one possible implementation, the heating element 131 can be one of a heating plate, a heating wire, a thermostat, or a fuse. The heat-conducting element 132 can be made of ceramic materials, high-temperature plastics (such as polyphenylene sulfide, polyetheretherketone), glass fiber reinforced plastics, silicone rubber, or composite materials.

[0076] Understandably, the heating element 131 can provide efficient and uniform heat distribution to ensure that the water in the cleaning chamber 111 is heated to the required temperature quickly, thereby improving the cleaning effect and efficiency of the cloth.

[0077] In one possible implementation, see Figure 5 As shown, the heat-insulating structure 140 may include a baffle 141. The baffle 141 is located between the heating device 130 and the bottom wall of the assembly cavity 112. The baffle 141 may be arranged around the heating device 130. The baffle 141 and the bottom wall of the assembly cavity 112 may together define a heating chamber 142. The heating device 130 is located within the heating chamber 142. Specifically, Figure 5 The dashed line in the diagram can represent the position of the rib 141. Figure 5The area enclosed by the dashed line is the region where the heating chamber 142 is located. Alternatively, the rib 141 can be arranged along the bottom edge of the entire base 110. Optionally, the height of the rib 141 can match the height of the mounting cavity 112 so that it abuts against the bottom and top walls of the mounting cavity 112, thereby completely surrounding the heating device 130 and preventing heat from diffusing to the ground. The rib 141 can be made of high-temperature resistant materials, such as ceramic materials, polyetheretherketone, polyphenylene sulfide, foam materials, etc., to achieve a heat insulation effect. In addition, the rib 141 not only serves a heat insulation function, but also provides additional mechanical support, enhancing the structural stability of the entire base station base 10.

[0078] Understandably, by setting the baffle 141, the heating device 130 can effectively avoid its influence on the outside environment. The baffle 141 and the bottom wall of the assembly cavity 112 can form a closed heating chamber 142, which can limit the diffusion of heat to the ground below the base station base 10, thus preventing damage or deformation of the ground due to high temperature, especially for wooden floors. In addition, the design of the heating chamber 142 helps to concentrate and retain heat, thereby improving heating efficiency and reducing energy loss.

[0079] In one possible implementation, the partition 141 can be disposed on the base 110, i.e., on the bottom wall of the assembly cavity 112. The partition 141 can be integrally formed with the base 110. Alternatively, the partition 141 can be disposed on the side of the cleaning tray 120 facing the assembly cavity 112. The partition 141 can be integrally formed with the cleaning tray 120. Or, some partition 141 can be disposed on the base 110, and other partition 141 can be disposed on the cleaning tray 120. When the cleaning tray 120 is assembled with the base 110, the partition 141 on the cleaning tray 120 can combine with the partition 141 on the base 110 to form a complete sealing structure. Specifically, an interface, such as a flange, groove, or other form of positioning structure, can be provided at the joint between the partition 141 of the base 110 and the cleaning tray 120.

[0080] Understandably, integrating the rib 141 directly onto the base 110 or the cleaning tray 120 simplifies the overall structure of the base station base 10, reduces the number of independent components, and thus lowers assembly complexity and manufacturing costs. Furthermore, by placing the rib 141 on the base 110 or the cleaning tray 120, it allows for a closer fit with the heating device 130, ensuring that it, together with the bottom wall of the assembly cavity 112, defines a heating chamber 142, effectively preventing heat from diffusing to the ground or outside the heating chamber 142.

[0081] In one possible implementation, see Figure 6As shown, the heat-insulating structure 140 may further include a heat-insulating pad 143. The heat-insulating pad 143 may cover the heating device 130. Specifically, the heat-insulating pad 143 may be disposed on the side of the heating device 130 facing away from the cleaning chamber 111.

[0082] Understandably, by setting up the heat insulation pad 143, the heat generated by the heating device 130 can be effectively blocked from being conducted to the ground below the base station base 10, preventing high temperatures from damaging or deforming the ground. Furthermore, the heat insulation pad 143 covers the entire heating device 130, limiting the disorderly diffusion of heat and concentrating the heat energy, allowing more heat to be effectively utilized in the heating process of the cleaning fluid. In addition, the heat insulation pad 143 acts as a physical barrier, thereby enhancing the safety of the heating device 130, preventing burns or other safety hazards caused by accidental contact, and also protecting the internal components of the heating device 130 from external factors.

[0083] In one possible implementation, the heat insulation pad 143 can be disposed on the cleaning tray 120. Specifically, the heat insulation pad 143 can be disposed on the side of the cleaning tray 120 near the assembly cavity 112. Alternatively, the heat insulation pad 143 can be disposed on the base 110. And the heat insulation pad 143 is located between the ground and the cleaning tray 120.

[0084] Understandably, directly connecting the heat insulation pad 143 to the cleaning tray 120 or the base 110 ensures its stable installation and avoids displacement or detachment caused by vibration of the base station base 10 or long-term use, thereby providing continuous and reliable heat insulation protection.

[0085] In one possible implementation, the heat insulation pad 143 is one of foamed silicone, aerogel, aluminum silicate wool, glass wool, and rock wool. Optionally, the heat insulation pad 143 can be a single-layer structure. For example, the heat insulation pad 143 can be a single-layer structure made of aerogel. The heat insulation pad 143 can also be a double-layer structure. For example, the outer layer of the heat insulation pad 143 can be foamed silicone, and the inner layer of the heat insulation pad 143 can be aerogel. Alternatively, the outer layer of the heat insulation pad 143 can be aluminum silicate wool, and the inner layer of the heat insulation pad 143 can be rock wool. The heat insulation pad 143 can also be a multi-layer structure, for example, the heat insulation pad 143 can be a three-layer structure. Specifically, the heat insulation pad 143 has an outer layer, a middle layer, and an inner layer. For example, the outer layer of the heat insulation pad 143 is foamed silicone, the middle layer is aerogel, and the inner layer is aluminum silicate wool. In this way, the three layers of materials work together to form a highly efficient and stable heat insulation barrier. Alternatively, the outer layer of the insulation pad 143 can be glass wool, the middle layer can be aerogel, and the inner layer can be rock wool. In this way, the glass wool can serve as the primary insulation layer, the aerogel can further provide insulation performance, and the rock wool can enhance fire resistance to meet the insulation needs in complex environments.

[0086] Understandably, the heat insulation pad 143 has excellent heat insulation performance and can effectively prevent the heat generated by the heating device 130 from being conducted to the ground below the base station base 10.

[0087] In one possible implementation, the heat-insulating structure 140 may also be a heat-insulating coating applied to the surface of the heat-conducting component 132 located on one side of the assembly cavity 112. Optionally, the heat-insulating coating may be made of materials such as ceramic-based heat-insulating coatings, silica aerogel coatings, or polyimide coatings. Further, the heat-insulating coating may also be a single-layer or multi-layer structure. For example, the heat-insulating coating may be a single-layer structure composed of silica aerogel coatings. Alternatively, the heat-insulating coating may be a three-layer structure composed of ceramic-based heat-insulating coatings, silica aerogel coatings, and polyimide coatings. Specifically, a high-pressure spraying device can be used to uniformly coat the heat-insulating coating onto the surface of the heat-conducting component 132 to ensure consistent coating thickness and comprehensive coverage.

[0088] Understandably, the heat-insulating coating can effectively prevent heat from diffusing from the heating device 130 to the ground below the base station base 10. Furthermore, the heat-insulating coating can be directly applied to the surface of the heat-conducting component 132, thereby simplifying the assembly process, eliminating the need for additional components, and reducing manufacturing costs. Moreover, applying the heat-insulating coating to the surface of the heat-conducting component 132 does not increase the overall volume of the base station base 10, maintaining its compact structure.

[0089] In one possible implementation, see Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown, the heat-insulating structure 140 can also be formed as a heat dissipation channel 144. The heat dissipation channel 144 can be formed within the assembly cavity 112. A portion of the surface of the heating device 130 can form the channel wall of the heat dissipation channel 144. For example, the heat-conducting element 132 of the heating device 130 can form the channel wall of the heat dissipation channel 144. In order to dissipate the heat generated by the heating device 130, a ventilation hole 145 is also provided on the assembly cavity 112. The heat dissipation channel 144 communicates with the ventilation hole 145 to achieve heat exchange with the outside. Optionally, the ventilation hole 145 can be formed at one end of the assembly cavity 112. Alternatively, the ventilation hole 145 can be formed at both ends of the assembly cavity 112. Further, the heat dissipation channel 144 can be a straight heat dissipation channel, an annular heat dissipation channel, a multi-branch heat dissipation channel, or a spiral heat dissipation channel.

[0090] Understandably, by using a portion of the surface of the heating device 130 as the channel wall of the heat dissipation channel 144, effective heat conduction and dispersion can be achieved, avoiding localized overheating caused by excessive heat concentration and ensuring the safe operation of the heating device 130. Furthermore, the design of the heat dissipation channel 144 combined with the ventilation hole 145 can promote air convection, allowing heat to be discharged outside the base station base 10 and preventing heat from spreading to the ground.

[0091] In one possible implementation, see Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown, the base station base 10 also includes an airflow drive component 160. The airflow drive component 160 is used to drive airflow through the heat dissipation channel 144 to remove heat from the assembly cavity 112 through the ventilation holes 145. Optionally, the number of airflow drive components 160 may be the same as the number of ventilation holes 145, or the number of airflow drive components 160 may be less than the number of ventilation holes 145, or the number of airflow drive components 160 may be greater than the number of ventilation holes 145. The airflow drive component 160 may be disposed at the ventilation hole 145 and close to the inner side of the assembly cavity 112.

[0092] Understandably, by setting up the airflow drive component 160, heat dissipation efficiency can be enhanced to ensure that the heat generated by the heating device 130 can be carried away by convection, thus avoiding overheating problems caused by insufficient natural convection.

[0093] In one possible implementation, see Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown, the airflow drive 160 can be disposed within the assembly cavity 112. Furthermore, the airflow drive 160 is located at one end of the heat dissipation channel 144. Optionally, one or more airflow drive 160s can be configured. When a single airflow drive 160 is configured, it can be set to a blowing mode. The airflow drive 160 blows cool air into the heat dissipation channel 144 and exhausts hot air from the assembly cavity 112 through the ventilation hole 145. Alternatively, the airflow drive 160 can also be set to an exhaust mode. The airflow drive 160 can draw hot air from the heat dissipation channel 144 and exhaust the hot air to the outside through the ventilation hole 145. When multiple airflow drive 160s are configured, for example, when two airflow drive 160s are configured at the left and right ends of the assembly cavity 112, they can be set to a mixed mode. That is, one airflow drive 160 can be in exhaust mode, and the other airflow drive 160 can be in blowing mode. This further improves heat dissipation efficiency.

[0094] It is understandable that placing the airflow drive 160 at one end of the heat dissipation channel 144 can ensure that the airflow enters and passes through the entire heat dissipation channel 144 directly through the shortest path, so as to achieve efficient convection heat dissipation, thereby removing the heat generated by the heating device 130 and preventing overheating.

[0095] In one possible implementation, see Figure 10 , Figure 11As shown, the heat-insulating structure 140 may further include a water passage 146. The water passage 146 can be connected to the heating device 130 to achieve efficient heat dissipation. Further, a liquid cooling channel 1461 may be formed inside the water passage 146. Cooling water can pass through the liquid cooling channel 1461 and carry away heat. Optionally, the water passage 146 may surround the outside of the protective part 1322. Alternatively, the water passage 146 may be located at the bottom of the heating device 130. Or, the water passage 146 may be located at the bottom of the assembly cavity 112. Further still, the liquid cooling channel 1461 may be straight, curved, single-layer spiral, multi-layer spiral, etc. Cooling water can flow unidirectionally within the liquid cooling channel 1461. Alternatively, cooling water can circulate within the liquid cooling channel 1461. Or, cooling water can flow in segments within the liquid cooling channel 1461. For example, the liquid cooling channel 1461 can be divided into multiple independent segments, each segment independently controlling the cooling water flow rate. This improves the flexibility of cooling, allowing the water pipe component 146 to adjust the cooling intensity according to the heat generation in different areas.

[0096] Understandably, by introducing the water cooling component 146, it can utilize the cooling water within the liquid cooling channel 1461 as a medium to exchange heat with the heating device 130, thereby efficiently absorbing and removing the heat generated by the heating device 130. Secondly, compared to air cooling, liquid cooling has higher heat transfer efficiency and lower noise levels. By incorporating water cooling components, not only can heat dissipation performance be improved, but a quieter operating environment can also be provided for users.

[0097] In one possible implementation, see Figure 10 As shown, the base station base 10 has a water inlet pipe 150. One end of the water inlet pipe 150 can be connected to the cleaning chamber 111, and the other end of the water inlet pipe 150 can be connected to an external water source. Optionally, the inlet of the water passage component 146 can be connected to the water inlet pipe 150, and the outlet of the water passage component 146 can be connected to the cleaning chamber 111. Alternatively, the inlet of the water passage component 146 can be connected to an external water source, and the outlet of the water passage component 146 can be connected to the cleaning chamber 111. Furthermore, the inlet of the water passage component 146 can be connected to the water inlet pipe 150, and the outlet of the water passage component 146 can be connected to the outside. Alternatively, the inlet of the water passage component 146 can be connected to an external water source, and the outlet of the water passage component 146 can be connected to the outside.

[0098] In one possible design, the cleaning tray 120 can be provided with multiple sub-cleaning chambers and multiple water passage components 146. Each sub-cleaning chamber corresponds one-to-one with a water passage component 146. For example, the cleaning tray 120 can have two sub-cleaning chambers and two water passage components 146. The two water passage components 146 can be connected together via a T-joint to form a cooling water network. The two water passage components 146 can also be connected in series. This allows cooling water to flow sequentially through each water passage component 146, increasing the cooling water path length, improving heat exchange opportunities, and enhancing heat dissipation. The two water passage components 146 can also be connected in parallel. This allows cooling water to flow into each water passage component 146 simultaneously, ensuring that each water passage component 146 receives the same cooling water flow rate, improving the uniformity of heat dissipation.

[0099] Understandably, the inlet of water component 146 can be selectively connected to the water inlet pipe 150 or an external water source, while the outlet of water component 146 can also be selectively connected to the cleaning chamber 111 or the outside, thereby improving the flexibility and applicability of the base station base 10. By directly connecting the inlet of water component 146 to the water inlet pipe 150 or an external water source, a stable supply of cooling water can be ensured. This flexible water supply design allows users to choose the most suitable cooling water source according to actual conditions. By connecting the outlet of water component 146 to the cleaning chamber 111 or the outside, multiple heat dissipation paths can be provided. Furthermore, if the outlet of water component 146 is connected to the cleaning chamber 111, the cooling water, which has already been heated when passing through the liquid cooling channel 1461, already has a certain temperature. After entering the cleaning chamber 111, it can be quickly heated to the specified temperature, thereby improving heating efficiency and enabling the secondary use of cooling water.

[0100] On the other hand, see Figure 1 As shown, this application embodiment provides a cleaning base station 1, which can be a cleaning base station for a sweeping robot or other cleaning equipment. The cleaning base station 1 in this embodiment may include the aforementioned base station base 10 and base station body 30. The base station body 30 may be disposed on the upper side of the base station base 10. The base station body 30 is connected to the base station base 10 to jointly define a working cavity 20 with an opening on one side. The working cavity 20 includes a cleaning cavity 111. The working cavity 20 can be used for maintenance operations such as cleaning, drying, and charging of the cleaning equipment.

[0101] It is understandable that by placing the heating device 130 within the assembly cavity 112 and directly heating the cleaning fluid within the cleaning cavity 111, the heating efficiency of the cleaning base station 1 can be improved. Secondly, by providing a heat-insulating structure 140 within the assembly cavity 112, the heat generated by the heating device 130 can be effectively limited from spreading to the ground, preventing damage or deformation of the wooden floor due to high temperatures. Furthermore, the base station body 30 and the base station base 10 together define a working cavity 20 with an opening on one side, and the cleaning cavity 111 constitutes part of the working cavity 20, ensuring a compact overall structure of the cleaning base station 1 and optimizing its spatial layout.

[0102] On the other hand, this application embodiment provides a cleaning system, including a cleaning device and the aforementioned cleaning base station 1. The cleaning device has a cleaning component for cleaning the surface to be cleaned. The cleaning base station 1 can clean the cleaning component of the cleaning device. When the cleaning device is placed in the cleaning base station 1, the cleaning component is adapted to self-clean within the cleaning chamber 111. After the cleaning device completes its cleaning task, it can return to the cleaning base station 1. The cleaning base station 1 can clean the cleaning component of the cleaning device. At this time, external water can enter the water passage 146 through the water inlet pipe 150 of the base station base 10, first providing cooling water to the cooling system, and then entering the cleaning chamber 111. Cleaning fluid can enter the cleaning chamber 111 through a pump or by gravity. Then, the heating device 130 can heat the cleaning chamber 111 to achieve a highly efficient cleaning effect. Simultaneously, the heat-insulating structure 140 can limit the heat from the heating device 130 from spreading to the ground, preventing damage to the ground from high temperatures.

[0103] It is understandable that by placing the heating device 130 inside the assembly cavity 112 and directly heating the cleaning fluid in the cleaning cavity 111 through the heating device 130, the heating efficiency of the cleaning base station 1 can be improved. Furthermore, by introducing the heat-insulating structure 140, the cleaning system can effectively manage heat, thereby protecting the ground in contact with the cleaning base station 1 from high-temperature damage, maintaining the long-term stable operation of the cleaning system, and extending the system's service life.
