If present, the terms "vertical", "horizontal", "up", "down", "left", "right" and similar expressions used in the present application are for illustrative purposes only and are not the only embodiment.

[0055] Referring to Figure 1 , Figure 1 The structure of the cleaning device in an embodiment of the present application is shown. The cleaning device provided by the embodiment of the present application includes 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. Moreover, the cleaning device 100 also has a self-cleaning function. After mopping for a period of time, the cleaning device 100 can clean the cleaning components such as the mop and the roller brush of the cleaning device 100. The sewage after cleaning will be temporarily stored in the sewage tank inside the cleaning device 100.

[0056] Referring to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4The cleaning device 100 comprises a cleaning body 110 and a switch piece 130. The cleaning body 110 can enter or leave the base station 200 along the first direction X. After the cleaning body 110 enters the base station 200, the base station 200 can perform operations such as water replenishment, charging, cleaning, etc. on the cleaning body 110. In addition, the cleaning body 110 is provided with a sewage tank and a sewage discharge hole 111 connected with the sewage tank. The switch piece 130 is movably installed on the cleaning body 110. The switch piece 130 has a first position and a second position in the movement process. When the switch piece 130 moves to the first position, the switch piece 130 closes the sewage discharge hole 111. When the switch piece 130 moves to the second position, the switch piece 130 opens the sewage discharge hole 111.

[0057] The surface of the base station 200 is provided with a top rod 210. In the process of entering the base station 200 along the first direction X, the top rod 210 can abut against the switch piece 130. With the continuous entering of the cleaning body 110 into the base station 200, the top rod 210 can push the switch piece 130 to move to the second position. That is, in the process of entering the base station 200, the top rod 210 can push the switch piece 130 to move, so that the sewage discharge hole 111 is opened. The sewage in the cleaning body 110 can enter the base station 200 through the sewage discharge hole 111, and finally be concentrated and treated in the base station 200. Optionally, the top rod 210 is sleeved with a damping piece 250. The damping piece 250 can reduce the impact force generated by the contact between the top rod 210 and the switch piece 130, so as to improve the service life of the top rod 210 and the switch piece 130.

[0058] After the sewage in the cleaning body 110 is discharged, if the cleaning body 110 does not need to be charged, water replenished, etc., the cleaning body 110 can leave the base station 200 along the first direction X to continue the cleaning work. In the process of leaving the base station 200 along the first direction X, the switch piece 130 is separated from the top rod 210 and can move to the first position under the action of an external force. That is, after the cleaning body 110 leaves the base station 200, the switch piece 130 can close the sewage discharge hole 111, so as to avoid the sewage from flowing out of the sewage discharge hole when the subsequent cleaning device 100 continues to use the self-cleaning function.

[0059] The cleaning device 100, in the process of entering the base station 200, the top rod 210 can push the switch piece 130 to move, and then realize the automatic opening of the sewage outlet 111, and the sewage in the cleaning main body 110 can enter the base station 200 through the sewage outlet 111. In the process of leaving the base station 200, the top rod 210 can close the sewage outlet 111 under the action of external force, so that the cleaning main body 110 can continue to be temporarily stored in the cleaning device 100 after leaving the base station 200, and be discharged into the base station 200 when returning to the base station 200 next time. In this way, the cleaning main body 110 can realize automatic sewage discharge in the process of entering and leaving the base station 200, so that the sewage generated by the cleaning device 100 can be concentrated in the base station 200 for treatment each time, thereby reducing the frequency of cleaning the sewage tank for the user and improving the user experience.

[0060] It should be noted that the switch piece 130 can be moved to the first position under the action of external force, which means that the driving force generated by the motor or other driving piece can be used to drive the switch piece 130 to move from the second position to the first position. In other cases, the external force can also be gravity. In the process of leaving the base station 200, since there is no abutment of the top rod 210, the switch piece 130 can move from the second position to the first position under the action of its own gravity, thereby realizing self-closing of the sewage outlet.

[0061] The switch piece 130 can close the sewage outlet 111 by covering the sewage outlet 111, but the cleaning main body 110 can vibrate during cleaning the ground, resulting in poor sealing between the switch piece 130 and the sewage outlet 111, and thus causing water leakage. Therefore, in some embodiments of the present application, the switch piece 130 is provided with a plugging part 134. When the switch piece 130 moves to the first position, the plugging part 134 is inserted into the sewage outlet 111, thereby completing the closing of the sewage outlet 111. When the switch piece 130 moves to the second position, the plugging part 134 leaves the sewage outlet 111, thereby completing the opening of the sewage outlet 111.

[0062] That is, the plugging part 134 is inserted into the sewage outlet 111 to close the sewage outlet 111, so that even if the switch piece 130 vibrates, the plugging part 134 can reliably plug the sewage outlet 111 and will not cause sewage leakage. Further, in order to improve the plugging effect of the sewage outlet 111, the cleaning device 100 further comprises a sealing ring 135, which is arranged between the plugging part 134 and the inner wall of the sewage outlet 111 when the plugging part 134 is inserted into the sewage outlet 111.

[0063] Optionally, the sealing ring 135 is sleeved on the outer circumferential wall of the blocking part 134, and in some other embodiments, a sealing groove can be formed on the inner wall of the drain hole 111, and the sealing ring 135 is arranged in the sealing groove.

[0064] During the process of inserting the blocking part 134 into the drain hole 111, the sealing ring 135 needs to be squeezed by the blocking part 134 so that the sealing ring 135 can be sealed to the gap between the blocking part 134 and the drain hole 111. Therefore, a large external force is required to insert the blocking part 134 into the drain hole. Only the self-weight of the switch piece 130 can close the drain hole, and the phenomenon of poor sealing and water leakage may occur.

[0065] Therefore, in some embodiments of the present application, the cleaning device 100 further comprises a reset piece 140, which is arranged on the cleaning main body 110 and connected with the switch piece 130. During the process of moving the cleaning main body 110 away from the base station 200 along the first direction X, the reset piece 140 drives the switch piece 130 to move to the first position. The reset piece 140 can be a motor, which applies sufficient external force to the switch piece 130, so that the blocking part 134 of the switch piece 130 can be firmly inserted into the drain hole 111, and the sealing effect of the drain hole 111 is ensured.

[0066] In some embodiments, the reset piece 140 is an elastic piece 141, which accumulates elastic force for driving the switch piece 130 to move from the second position to the first position during the process of moving the switch piece 130 from the first position to the second position. In this way, the switch piece 130 is pushed by the top rod 210 to move from the first position to the second position, and in this process, the elastic piece 141 is stretched or compressed. After the cleaning main body 110 moves away from the base station 200, the switch piece 130 is no longer abutted by the top rod 210, and the elastic piece 141 restores the deformation, thereby pushing the switch piece 130 to move from the second position to the first position, and the external force applied by the elastic piece 141 enables the blocking part 134 of the switch piece 130 to be firmly inserted into the drain hole 111.

[0067] In a specific embodiment, the switch piece 130 includes opposite first and second ends 131 and 132 in the longitudinal direction of the switch piece 130, and the switch piece 130 is swingably mounted on the cleaning main body 110 about a rotation axis, which is located between the first and second ends 131 and 132 and intersects the first direction X.

[0068] When the switch piece 130 is in the first position, the second end 132 closes the pollution hole 111, the elastic piece 141 is arranged between the first end 131 and the cleaning main body 110, in the process that the cleaning main body 110 enters the base station 200 along the first direction X, the top rod 210 can abut against the first end 131 and push the first end 131 to be close to the cleaning main body 110, at this time, the switch piece 130 rotates around the first circumferential direction, the second end 132 of the switch piece 130 gradually moves away from the pollution hole 111, and finally the switch piece 130 moves to the second position and opens the pollution hole 111.

[0069] When the cleaning main body 110 moves away from the base station 200 along the first direction X, the elastic piece 141 pushes the first end 131 away from the cleaning main body 110, the switch piece 130 moves around the second circumferential direction opposite to the first circumferential direction, so that the second end 132 of the switch piece 130 gradually approaches the pollution hole 111, and finally the switch piece 130 closes the pollution hole 111. Further, the blocking part 134 is arranged on the second end 132 of the switch piece 130, when the second end 132 of the switch piece 130 gradually approaches the pollution hole 111, the blocking part 134 gradually inserts into the pollution hole 111, and finally the blocking part 134 closes the pollution hole 111.

[0070] Specifically, referring to Figure 1 , the switch piece 130 is arranged on the cleaning main body 110 along the vertical direction, the first end 131 is located above the second end 132, when the cleaning main body 110 enters the base station 200, the cleaning main body 110 moves from right to left, the top rod 210 abuts against the first end 131 of the switch piece 130 and pushes the switch piece 130 to rotate clockwise, the elastic piece 141 is compressed, the blocking part 134 arranged on the second end 132 is separated from the pollution hole 111, and the pollution hole is opened.

[0071] When the cleaning main body 110 moves away from the base station 200, the cleaning main body 110 moves from left to right, the top rod 210 gradually separates from the switch piece 130, the elastic piece 141 restores deformation and pushes the switch piece 130 to rotate counterclockwise, the blocking part 134 gradually approaches the pollution hole 111, and finally the blocking part 134 closes the pollution hole 111.

[0072] Further, the limiting hole 112 is arranged on the cleaning main body 110, the limiting column 133 is arranged on the side of the switch piece 130 facing the cleaning main body 110, the elastic piece 141 is a spring, one end of the spring is inserted into the limiting hole 112, and the other end of the spring is sleeved on the limiting column 133. Thus, the spring is fixed through the limiting hole 112 and the limiting column 133. It can be understood that in some other embodiments, the limiting hole 112 can be arranged on the switch piece 130, and the limiting column 133 can be arranged on the cleaning main body 110.

[0073] In some embodiments, in order to avoid the distance that the ejector rod 210 pushes the switch piece 130 being too long, and the elastic piece 141 being compressed too much to affect the recovery ability of the elastic piece 141, an opening limiting rib 153 is arranged on the cleaning body 110. During the process that the cleaning body 110 enters the base station 200 along the first direction X, the switch piece 130 can be moved to abut against the opening limiting rib 153 under the action of the ejector rod 210, that is, the second position is the position where the switch piece 130 abuts against the opening limiting rib 153, so as to avoid the switch piece 130 moving too much.

[0074] Further, referring to Figure 6 , the cleaning body 110 further includes a closing limiting rib 154. During the process that the cleaning body 110 leaves the base along the first direction X, the switch piece 130 can be moved to abut against the closing limiting rib 154 under the action of the elastic piece 141 or other external force, that is, the first position is the position where the switch piece 130 abuts against the closing limiting rib 154, so as to avoid the blocking part 134 being too much plugged into the drain, and causing the blocking part 134 to be difficult to pull out.

[0075] In some embodiments of the present application, the cleaning body 110 is provided with a sewage cavity 118 for storing sewage. The sewage cavity 118 can be formed in a detachable sewage tank, or can be directly formed in the inside of the cleaning body 110. Wherein, during use of the cleaning device 100, the drain hole 111 is located at the lowest point of the sewage cavity 118 in the direction of gravity, so that the sewage in the sewage cavity 118 can be discharged from the drain hole 111 as much as possible under the action of gravity.

[0076] Further, the bottom wall of the sewage cavity 118 is arranged to be inclined relative to the direction of gravity, and the drain hole 111 is located at the lowest point of the bottom of the sewage cavity 118 in the direction of gravity, so as to guide the inside of the sewage cavity 118 through the inclined bottom wall, thereby gathering the sewage in the sewage cavity 118 to the drain hole 111, and finally discharging through the drain hole 111.

[0077] In actual use, the cleaning body 110 is usually assembled by a plurality of components. Due to manufacturing and assembly tolerances, there will be gaps between the components. If the sewage enters the gaps between the components during the process of discharging the sewage, the subsequent cleaning work of the cleaning body 110 will cause the sewage to drip from the gaps, causing ground pollution.

[0078] Therefore, in some embodiments of the present application, referring to Figure 5 and Figure 6The cleaning main body 110 is provided with a water guide channel 150 which is communicated with the sewage hole 111, and the sewage in the cleaning main body 110 can flow into the base station 200 through the water guide channel 150. That is, the sewage discharged from the sewage hole 111 is guided through the water guide channel 150, so that the sewage does not pass through or reduces the gap between the parts in the process from the sewage hole to the base station 200, thereby reducing the accumulation of sewage in the gap.

[0079] In some embodiments, the cleaning main body 110 includes a housing 113 and a base 114, the housing 113 is mounted on the base 114, and the housing 113 is provided with the water guide channel 150 and the sewage hole 111. The housing 113 and the base 114 form a mounting gap 115 therebetween, the housing 113 has a water guide outlet 151 which is communicated with the water guide channel 150, and the sewage flows out of the water guide channel 150 through the water guide outlet 151, and the water guide outlet 151 is located below the mounting gap 115 in the direction of gravity. In this way, when the sewage is discharged from the water guide channel 150 through the water guide outlet 151, the sewage will not pass through the mounting gap 115 because the water guide outlet 151 is located below the mounting gap 115, thereby avoiding the sewage entering the mounting gap 115.

[0080] Specifically, the housing 113 is provided with a mounting groove 152, the sewage hole 111 is arranged on the inner wall of the mounting groove 152, and the water guide channel 150 is formed in the mounting groove 152. That is, the sewage is guided by the two side walls of the mounting groove 152, and the mounting groove 152 is open at one end in the longitudinal direction to form the water guide outlet 151. In this way, the sewage discharged from the sewage hole 111 enters the mounting groove 152, and under the action of the two side walls of the mounting groove 152, the sewage moves along the mounting groove 152 until it is discharged from one end of the mounting groove 152, i.e. the water guide outlet 151, and enters the base station 200.

[0081] Further, the bottom of the base 114 is provided with a relief opening 116, part of the housing 113 extends into the relief opening 116, the mounting groove 152 extends to the part of the housing 113 extending into the relief opening 116, and the water guide outlet 151 is located in the relief opening 116. In this way, the sewage is directly discharged from the bottom of the housing 113, and does not pass through the mounting gap 115 or the gap between other parts of the cleaning main body 110, effectively avoiding the sewage entering the gap and causing the ground to be contaminated during the subsequent cleaning process of the cleaning main body 110.

[0082] Further, in order to avoid the sewage splashing outside the installation groove 152 during the sewage discharging process from the sewage outlet 111, causing the sewage to pollute the shell 113, the base 114 or the base station 200, etc. The two water guide ribs 117 are protruded on the side wall of the shell 113, and the installation groove 152 and the water guide outlet 151 are located between the two water guide ribs 117, so as to increase the depth of the installation groove 152 through the water guide ribs 117, and reduce the amount of splashing sewage.

[0083] Specifically, in some embodiments, two rotating shafts 155 are further protruded on the opposite two inner walls of the installation groove 152, and two installation holes 136 are arranged on the switch piece 130, and the two rotating shafts 155 are respectively arranged in the two installation holes 136, so that the switch piece 130 can rotate in the installation groove 152. When the switch piece 130 rotates to the first position, the switch piece 130 is entirely located in the installation groove 152, so that the installation piece does not protrude from the surface of the cleaning main body 110, which is beneficial to the cleaning of the cleaning main body 110. Further, the above-mentioned limiting hole 112, the opening limiting rib 153 and the closing limiting rib 154 are also arranged in the limiting groove, so as to cooperate with the switch piece 130 in the limiting groove to perform the opening and closing operations of the sewage outlet 111.

[0084] In some embodiments of the present application, referring to Figure 7 In order to enable the sewage discharged from the bottom of the shell 113 to enter the base station 200, the base station 200 is provided with a sewage tank 220, and when the cleaning main body 110 enters the base station 200, the top opening of the sewage tank 220 is located below the sewage outlet 111 and the above-mentioned water guide outlet 151 in the direction of gravity, so that the sewage discharged from the sewage outlet 111 passes through the water guide outlet 151 and finally falls into the sewage tank 220 under the action of gravity for collection.

[0085] Further, in order to centrally process the sewage collected for multiple times, the base station 200 further includes a black water tank and a sewage suction pipe 230, and the black water tank is connected in communication with the sewage tank 220 through the sewage suction pipe 230, and the sewage in the sewage tank 220 can be sucked into the black water tank through the sewage suction pipe 230. Each time the cleaning main body 110 returns to the base station 200, the sewage will flow into the sewage tank 220 through the sewage outlet 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 includes a vacuum suction piece, which is used to perform vacuum suction on the black water tank, so that the sewage in the sewage tank 220 is sucked into the black water tank under the action of air pressure.

[0086] Further, the base station 200 further comprises a plurality of filter ribs 240, all of the filter ribs 240 are protrudingly arranged on the bottom wall of the sewage tank 220 and are arranged at intervals around the circumference of the sewage suction pipe 230, so that the sewage in the sewage tank 220 will first pass through the plurality of filter ribs 240 and then be sucked into the black water tank by the sewage suction pipe 230. During the process of passing through the plurality of filter ribs 240, the larger impurities in the sewage will be intercepted by the filter ribs 240, so as to avoid the impurities from entering the sewage suction pipe 230 and blocking the sewage suction pipe 230.

[0087] 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. After 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, so as to form 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, so as to stop moving. In other embodiments, the cleaning device 100 can also be a washing machine or other cleaning device 100 with self-cleaning function.

[0088] The cleaning device 100 has at least the following advantages:

[0089] During the process of entering the base station 200, the top rod 210 can push the switch piece 130 to move, so as to realize the automatic opening of the sewage outlet hole 111, and the sewage in the cleaning main body 110 can enter the base station 200 through the sewage outlet hole 111. During the process of leaving the base station 200, the top rod 210 can close the sewage outlet hole 111 under the action of external force, so that the cleaning main body 110 can continue to be temporarily stored in the cleaning device 100 after leaving the base station 200, and be discharged into the base station 200 when returning to the base station 200 next time. In this way, the cleaning main body 110 can realize automatic sewage discharge during the process of entering and leaving the base station 200, so that the sewage generated by the cleaning device 100 during each cleaning can be concentrated in the base station 200 for treatment, thereby reducing the frequency of cleaning the sewage tank by the user and improving the user experience.
