Traditional manual window cleaning methods are not only inefficient but also pose significant safety risks. For high-rise residential and commercial buildings, hiring professional window cleaners is costly and cannot meet cleaning needs at all times. The emergence of window cleaning robots provides an effective solution to this problem.

[0003] However, the use of window cleaning robots still faces some limitations. Firstly, their relatively high price makes them uneconomical for users who only occasionally need window cleaning, thus limiting their widespread adoption. Secondly, even those who own window cleaning robots need to find suitable storage space when not in use, and their maintenance requires specialized knowledge and tools, causing inconvenience. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the problems and shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides a window-view shared home cleaning robot equipment base station. By setting up a shared cabinet, it realizes the shared use of window cleaning robots, reduces user costs, improves the utilization rate of window cleaning robots, and avoids resource waste. The cabinet has a compartment to house the window cleaning robot, and an identification device is installed inside the compartment to ensure the safety and stability of the window cleaning robot during storage and use. The controller enables intelligent management of the cabinet, capable of real-time monitoring of the window cleaning robot's status, recording user usage information, and communicating and transmitting data with external systems, facilitating the operation and maintenance of the shared cabinet.

[0005] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] A window-view sharing home cleaning robot equipment base station includes a cabinet, which comprises a compartment area, a consumables area, and a control area. The compartment area has multiple open compartments for housing the cleaning robots, each compartment having a door to seal the opening and an electromagnetic lock for controlling the door's opening. The consumables area includes display shelves and a retrieval compartment located below the display shelves. Several cleaning consumables are displayed on the display shelves, and multiple push rods for moving the cleaning consumables are installed on one side of the display shelves. The control area includes a controller, an identification device connected to the controller, and a display. The electromagnetic lock and push rods are uniformly connected to the controller signal. The identification device includes a reader located in each compartment and a tag installed on each cleaning robot. The reader can identify the tags located in the compartment to enable shared use of the window cleaning robots.

[0007] Furthermore, the controller incorporates a timing device that calculates the time it takes for the tag to leave the corresponding reader. As the core control unit of the entire timing device, the controller employs a high-performance microprocessor to coordinate and control the operation of various modules, process, store, and transmit timing data, and interact with other control systems within the shared equipment.

[0008] Furthermore, a touchscreen display is located above the consumables area. This touchscreen control provides a very intuitive way to operate the device. Users can interact with the device directly through touch, swipe, and click gestures on the screen, making operation natural and convenient for users to use the shared base station of the window cleaning robot.

[0009] Furthermore, the identification device is an RFID radio frequency identification device, and the reader's frequency is 30kHz-300kHz.

[0010] Furthermore, radio frequency (RF) isolation panels are attached to the inner walls of each cabin and each door. In environments with dense electronic equipment, RF interference may occur between different devices. For RF signal transmitting and receiving equipment, RF isolation panels can reduce interference from reflected waves and stray signals. When RF signals encounter interfaces between different media during transmission, reflections occur. Through proper design and material selection, RF isolation panels can absorb or weaken these reflected signals, resulting in cleaner transmitted signals and higher quality received signals. This ensures that readers within the cabin can only identify tag information corresponding to the cabin.

[0011] Furthermore, the cabin comes in various volume types, and the cabin doors work together with the cabin to expand the applicability of the window cleaning robot.

[0012] Furthermore, the controller can control the push rod's extension distance, and the push rod's extension distance data is fed back to the controller in real time to detect the quantity of cleaning consumables being pushed out.

[0013] Furthermore, the width of the retrieval compartment is greater than the width of the display shelf. The display shelf is fixed to the cabinet, and the push rod is fixed to one side of the display shelf. An inclined buffer plate is installed at one corner of the retrieval compartment. The inclined buffer plate is located on the side of the display shelf away from the push rod, which plays a role in buffering and protecting the cleaning consumables.

[0014] Furthermore, the cabinet is also equipped with a camera and a communication speaker, both of which are connected to the controller to identify users who borrow the cleaning robot.

[0015] Furthermore, a sunshade is installed above the cabinet to improve the user's comfort when using the window view sharing home cleaning robot equipment base station.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] 1. By setting up shared cabinets, the window cleaning robots can be shared, reducing user costs, increasing the utilization rate of the window cleaning robots, and avoiding the waste of idle resources;

[0018] 2. The cabinet is equipped with a compartment to house the window cleaning robot, and an identification device is installed inside the compartment to ensure the safety and stability of the window cleaning robot during storage and use;

[0032] Simultaneously, according to the set parameters, the controller 41 controls the push rod 311 to extend, pushing the cleaning supplies located on the display shelf 31 out of the display shelf 31, where the cleaning supplies fall into the retrieval compartment 32 at the bottom. It should be noted that the cleaning supplies are pre-packaged and arranged into boxed kits by staff, and users can take the appropriate amount of cleaning supplies according to their needs.

[0033] When returning the window cleaning robot, the user simply needs to reopen the hatch 22 via the touchscreen display 42, mobile app, IC card, or fingerprint verification, and place the used robot back into the corresponding compartment 21. The reader in the compartment 21 detects the corresponding robot's tag and sends a signal to the controller 41. The controller 41's control unit records the end time and sends a payment notification to the user, thus concluding the robot's shared task. It should be noted that cleaning supplies are disposable and do not need to be returned. The window cleaning robot is a plug-in device.

[0034] In one embodiment, the controller 41 of the window-view shared home cleaning robot equipment base station can transmit the base station's equipment information to the back-end server, allowing administrators to view the consumable quantities of each base station's equipment, the usage records of the cleaning robots, etc. Through the above implementation, this window-view shared home cleaning robot equipment base station can achieve efficient, convenient, and safe window cleaning robot sharing services, meeting users' cleaning needs, improving the utilization rate of window cleaning robots, and providing operators with convenient equipment management and maintenance methods, thus possessing broad market application prospects.
