Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of cleaning, in particular to a base station and a cleaning system. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the development of science and technology and the improvement of living standards, household cleaning equipment such as floor cleaning machines has become more and more popular, reducing the burden of human household chores.

[0003] In the related art, a cleaning device includes a device body and a cleaning element arranged on the device body, and the cleaning element is used to clean a surface to be cleaned. The cleaning element can be a roller brush, etc. When the cleaning element is a roller brush, the cleaning device can include a double roller brush or a single roller brush. During the cleaning process, cleaning liquid can be sprayed on the roller brush to wet the roller brush, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the roller brush during cleaning. After cleaning is completed, the roller brush can be self-cleaned through a self-cleaning mode of the cleaning device.

[0004] However, when the cleaning device is used, the roller brush is in a wet state for a long time, which can cause bacteria to breed and odors to be generated, affecting the user's experience. Content of the utility model

[0005] In view of the above problems, the embodiments of the present application provide a base station and a cleaning system for improving the air-drying efficiency of the roller brush, avoiding the breeding of bacteria and the generation of odors, and thereby improving the user's experience.

[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the embodiments of the present application provide the following technical solutions:

[0007] The first aspect of the embodiments of the present application provides a base station suitable for parking of a cleaning device, the cleaning device including a cleaning element. The base station includes a base station body having an air duct and a parking position. The parking position is configured to park the cleaning element. The parking position has an air outlet in communication with the air duct, and the size of the air outlet in a first direction is greater than the size of the air outlet in a second direction. When the cleaning element is parked on the parking position, the air outlet faces the cleaning element. The first direction is consistent with the length direction of the cleaning element, and the second direction has an included angle with the first direction.

[0008] In the base station provided in this application embodiment, an air duct and a docking position are set on the base station body. The docking position has an air outlet that communicates with the air duct. When the cleaning part is docked on the docking position, the air outlet faces the cleaning part, and the air in the air duct blows towards the cleaning part through the air outlet to achieve air drying of the cleaning part. In addition, the size of the air outlet in the first direction is larger than the size in the second direction, and the first direction is consistent with the length direction of the cleaning part. The second direction has an angle with the first direction. When the cleaning part is a roller brush, the roller brush rotates around its own axis during the air drying process. Therefore, by making the size of the air outlet in the length of the roller brush larger than its size in the radial direction, the uniformity of the air blown towards the roller brush in the first direction can be improved. In this way, when the roller brush rotates, the air can be blown evenly towards the roller brush, thereby improving the uniformity and efficiency of air drying of the cleaning part, avoiding the growth of bacteria and the generation of odors, and thus improving the user experience.

[0009] In some alternative implementations, the ratio of the size of the air outlet in the first direction to its size in the second direction is greater than or equal to 2.

[0010] This setup can further improve the uniformity of airflow towards the cleaning components, thereby further improving drying efficiency.

[0011] In some optional embodiments, the parking space has at least two sets of air outlets, which are spaced apart along the second direction; each air outlet includes at least two air outlets, which are spaced apart along the first direction; wherein the air outlets in adjacent sets of air outlets are staggered in the first direction.

[0012] This configuration increases the number of air outlets, further improving the uniformity of airflow towards the cleaning components, thereby further enhancing drying efficiency and drying effect.

[0013] In some alternative embodiments, along the first direction, there is a first gap between two adjacent air outlets, and the size of the air outlet in the first direction is larger than the first gap; and the projection of each air outlet in the second direction covers the first gap adjacent to it.

[0014] This setup allows hot air to be blown more evenly onto the cleaning parts, thereby improving drying efficiency.

[0015] In some alternative implementations, the size of the air outlet in the second direction is smaller than the first gap.

[0016] This design increases the size of the air outlet in the first direction while reducing the air outlet area, thereby improving the air outlet efficiency to quickly remove moisture from the cleaning parts and thus improving drying efficiency and effect.

[0017] In some alternative implementations, a second gap is provided between two adjacent air outlet groups, the second gap being smaller than the size of the air outlet in the second direction.

[0018] This design improves structural compactness and space utilization. In addition, the hot air blown from multiple air outlets can be concentrated on the roller brush, improving drying efficiency.

[0019] In some alternative implementations, at least two of the air outlet groups are larger in size in the first direction than the length of the cleaning element in the first direction.

[0020] This configuration ensures uniform heating of the cleaning components during rotation, thereby further improving the drying efficiency of the cleaning components.

[0021] In some alternative embodiments, the cross-sectional shape of the air outlet is at least one of a long rectangle, a parallelogram, a polygon, or an ellipse.

[0022] This design ensures that hot air is evenly blown onto the cleaning components, while the air outlet structure is simple, easy to implement, and low in cost.

[0023] In some alternative embodiments, the outline shape of the docking position matches the outline shape of the cleaning component, and when the cleaning component is docked in the docking position, there is a third gap between the cleaning component and the air outlet.

[0024] This design prevents the cleaning component from directly contacting the air outlet when it is parked in its designated spot. This avoids the problem of the air outlet blowing out too hot, which could damage the cleaning component. As a result, the drying efficiency of the cleaning component is improved, and its service life is extended.

[0025] In some alternative embodiments, the cleaning component is a roller brush, the resting position is an arc-shaped structure that matches the roller brush, and the air outlet is disposed on the arc-shaped structure.

[0026] This configuration improves the uniformity of the gap between the air outlet and the cleaning component, thereby enhancing the uniformity and efficiency of drying the cleaning component.

[0027] In some alternative implementations, when the cleaning component is docked at the docking position, the size of the third gap between the cleaning component and the air outlet is greater than 0 and less than or equal to the radius of the roller brush.

[0028] This design improves the drying efficiency of the cleaning components while extending their service life.

[0029] In some alternative implementations, the cross-sectional area of ​​the air outlet is smaller than the cross-sectional area of ​​the air duct.

[0030] With this configuration, the smaller the total area of ​​the air outlet relative to the cross-sectional area of ​​the air duct, the higher the airflow rate. This allows the hot air blown out of the air outlet to quickly remove moisture from the cleaned parts, thereby improving the drying efficiency of the cleaned parts.

[0031] In some alternative embodiments, the air duct has an air inlet and an air outlet, the air outlet being connected to the air outlet, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the air duct gradually decreases along the direction from the air inlet to the air outlet.

[0032] This setup can further increase the airflow rate at the air outlet, thereby further improving the drying efficiency of the cleaned items.

[0033] In some alternative implementations, the base station further includes a drying component disposed in the air duct, the drying component being used to generate hot air.

[0034] With this setup, the air blown from the air outlet onto the cleaning parts is hot air, which can further improve the drying efficiency of the cleaning parts.

[0035] In some alternative embodiments, the drying assembly includes a heating element and a fan, the fan having an air outlet, the total area of ​​which is smaller than the total area of ​​the air outlet of the fan.

[0036] With this configuration, the heating element generates heat and exchanges heat with the air in the duct to heat the air temperature in the duct. The fan drives the air to flow in the duct so that the air blown out of the air outlet is hot air. This makes the total area of ​​the air outlet smaller than the total area of ​​the air outlet holes of the fan. In this way, the air outlet speed can be increased to quickly remove the moisture on the cleaned parts, thereby improving the drying efficiency of the cleaned parts.

[0037] A second aspect of this application provides a cleaning system, including cleaning equipment and a base station provided in the first aspect, wherein the cleaning equipment can be docked on the base station.

[0038] The cleaning system provided in this application embodiment has the same beneficial effects as the base station described above, and will not be repeated here.

[0039] In addition to the technical problems solved by the embodiments of this application, the technical features constituting the technical solutions, and the beneficial effects brought about by the technical features of these technical solutions described above, other technical problems that can be solved by the base station and cleaning system provided by the embodiments of this application, other technical features included in the technical solutions, and the beneficial effects brought about by these technical features will be further explained in detail in the specific implementation.

[0052] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0053] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this application embodiment provides a base station 100, which is suitable for docking cleaning equipment. The cleaning equipment includes, but is not limited to, floor scrubbers, automatic cleaning robots, etc., for cleaning, for example, the ground. The following description will take a floor scrubber as an example of the cleaning equipment.

[0054] The cleaning equipment includes a main body and cleaning components mounted on the main body. These components include, but are not limited to, roller brushes and cleaning cloths. The cleaning components are used to clean surfaces such as floors and tabletops. For example, when cleaning a floor, the cleaning components can perform wet or dry mopping. After cleaning, the cleaning equipment can activate a self-cleaning function. For instance, if the cleaning component is a roller brush, the cleaning equipment can have either dual or single roller brushes. The following description will use a roller brush as an example.

[0055] After the roller brush finishes cleaning, it can rotate around its own axis and continuously supply water to the roller brush to enable it to self-clean. However, the roller brush is very wet after cleaning. Usually, the roller brush is air-dried by natural air drying, but the drying efficiency is low. Therefore, the roller brush is in a damp state for a long time, which can easily breed bacteria and produce odors, thus affecting the user's experience.

[0056] To address the aforementioned issues, this application provides a base station 100 that allows the cleaning equipment to dock after cleaning is completed. The base station 100 has a drying function to dry the roller brush, thereby improving drying efficiency and preventing the roller brush from easily breeding bacteria and producing odors due to low drying efficiency.

[0057] In some embodiments, the base station 100 includes a base station body 110 and a base station body 110 having an air duct 111 and a docking position 112. The docking position 112 has an air outlet 113 communicating with the air duct 111. When the cleaning device is docked on the base station body 110, the cleaning component is just docked on the docking position 112. The air outlet 113 is set facing the cleaning component. In this way, when the cleaning component rotates around its own axis, the air in the air duct 111 can be blown towards the roller brush through the air outlet 113 to dry the cleaning component, so as to improve the drying efficiency of the cleaning component.

[0058] To improve drying efficiency, in some embodiments, the base station 100 further includes a drying component 120 disposed in the air duct 111. The drying component 120 is used to generate cold or hot air so that the cold or hot air is blown towards the cleaning component through the air outlet, thereby removing moisture from the surface and interior of the cleaning component.

[0059] As an example, the air-drying assembly 120 includes a fan 121 for accelerating the flow of air in the air duct 111 to generate a high-speed airflow of cool air, which is then blown through an air outlet toward the roller brush to quickly remove moisture from the roller brush, thereby improving the efficiency of the air-drying cleaning component.

[0060] In another example, the air-drying assembly 120 includes a heating element 122 and a fan 121. Both the heating element 122 and the fan 121 are disposed in the air duct 111, and the heating element 122 is disposed between the fan 121 and the air outlet 113. The heating element 122 can generate heat by being powered on to heat the surrounding air. The fan 121 then drives the hot air around the heating element 122 to flow, that is, the air-drying assembly 120 generates hot air. The flowing hot air is blown toward the cleaning part through the air outlet 113. When the hot air blows onto the cleaning part, it will evaporate the moisture on the cleaning part, thereby achieving the purpose of air-drying the cleaning part and quickly drying the cleaning part.

[0061] The heating element 122 can be an electric heating wire that generates heat when energized, a semiconductor heating ceramic (Positive Temperature Coefficient, abbreviated as PCT), an infrared heater, or any other material that can generate heat when energized; no specific restrictions are imposed here.

[0062] To improve drying efficiency, multiple air outlets 113 are provided, and these multiple air outlets 113 are spaced apart on the docking position 112. In this way, hot air is blown onto the cleaning part through multiple air outlets 113 at the same time to accelerate the drying of the cleaning part, thereby improving the drying efficiency.

[0063] In some embodiments, a plurality of air outlets 113 are arranged in an array, and the size of the air outlets 113 in the first direction is smaller than the size in the second direction. The first direction is consistent with the axial (length) direction of the roller brush, and the second direction has an angle with the first direction. For example, the second direction is consistent with the extension direction of the outer contour of the roller brush, that is, the air outlets 113 are arranged approximately vertically. In this way, the air outlet area of ​​the air outlets 113 is small in the first direction, and ribs are formed between adjacent air outlets 113. Hot air cannot be blown at the position of the cleaning component corresponding to the ribs. Since the cleaning component is rotatable, the position blocked by the ribs will never be blown with hot air when the cleaning component rotates. This results in uneven distribution of hot air blown onto the cleaning component in the first direction, which in turn leads to uneven drying of the cleaning component, affecting the drying efficiency and effect.

[0064] To address the above issues, please refer to the embodiments of this application. Figures 1 to 4 As shown, by setting an air outlet 113 on the docking position 112 and making the size of the air outlet 113 in the first direction larger than the size in the second direction, the air outlet area of ​​the air outlet 113 in the first direction can be increased, thereby increasing the uniformity of the distribution of hot air blown towards the cleaning component in the first direction. In this way, when the cleaning component is rotating, the uniformity and drying effect of the drying component can be improved, avoiding the growth of bacteria and the generation of odors, thereby improving the user experience.

[0065] In some embodiments, the air outlet 113 may be at least one of a rectangle, parallelogram, polygon, or ellipse, such as... Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the air outlet 113 is rectangular, and the long side of the rectangle extends along the first direction. In this way, when the cleaning part is rotating, hot air can be blown evenly onto the cleaning part through the air outlet 113, thereby improving the uniformity and drying effect of the cleaning part. In addition, the structure of the air outlet 113 is simple, easy to implement, and low in cost.

[0066] To further improve the uniformity of the hot air blown onto the cleaning component in the first direction, in this embodiment, the ratio of the size of the air outlet 113 in the first direction to the size in the second direction is greater than or equal to 2. That is, the size of the air outlet 113 in the first direction is at least twice the size in the second direction, so as to further increase the air outlet area of ​​the air outlet 113 in the first direction, which can further improve the uniformity of the hot air blown onto the cleaning component, thereby further improving the drying efficiency.

[0067] Therefore, in this embodiment of the application, by adjusting the shape of the air outlet 113, the air outlet 113 is designed to be placed horizontally (that is, the size of the air outlet 113 in the first direction is larger than the size in the second direction). In this way, the heat of the hot air can be used more efficiently, so that the hot air can be blown evenly onto the cleaning part, thereby improving the drying efficiency and drying effect.

[0068] Please continue to refer to Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the parking position 112 has at least two sets of air outlet groups 113a, which are spaced apart along a second direction; each air outlet group 113a includes at least two air outlets 113, which are spaced apart along a first direction. This increases the number of air outlets 113, which can increase the coverage area of ​​hot air blowing on the cleaning parts, thereby further improving the drying efficiency.

[0069] In addition, the air outlets 113 in the two adjacent air outlet groups 113a are staggered in the first direction. That is, in the second direction, the adjacent air outlets 113 are staggered with each other. This can further increase the area of ​​the air outlets 113 covering the cleaning parts in the first direction, thereby increasing the coverage area of ​​the hot air blown towards the cleaning parts in the first direction. Since the cleaning parts can rotate around their own axis, as long as the area of ​​the hot air covering the cleaning parts in the first direction is increased, the uniformity and efficiency of drying the cleaning parts can be improved, thus improving the drying effect.

[0070] Please refer to Figure 3 As shown, along the first direction, there is a first gap between two adjacent air outlets 113, and the size of the air outlet 113 in the first direction is larger than the first gap; and the projection of each air outlet 113 in the second direction covers the first gap adjacent to it, that is, an air outlet 113 is located between two adjacent air outlets 113 in the adjacent air outlet group 113a and partially overlaps with the two adjacent air outlets 113. In this way, in the first direction, the hot air blown out by the air outlets 113 in the two adjacent air outlet groups 113a can fully cover the cleaning part in the first direction, so that when the cleaning part rotates around its own axis, it can be dried evenly as a whole, with high drying efficiency and good drying effect, thereby improving the user experience.

[0071] In addition, the size of the air outlet 113 in the second direction is smaller than that of the first gap. In this way, while increasing the size of the air outlet 113 in the first direction, the overall air outlet area of ​​the air outlet 113 is reduced. The smaller the overall area of ​​the air outlet 113, the greater the air outlet speed. This allows the hot air blown out by the air outlet 113 to quickly remove the moisture from the surface of the roller brush, thereby improving the drying efficiency and preventing the roller brush from growing bacteria and producing odors due to prolonged dampness.

[0072] Please continue to refer toFigure 3 As shown, there is a second gap between two adjacent air outlet groups 113a. The second gap is smaller than the size of the air outlet 113 in the second direction. This can increase the distribution density of the air outlets 113 in the second direction, improve the compactness of the spatial layout, and further increase the area of ​​the hot air covering the roller brush, thereby improving the drying efficiency.

[0073] Please continue to refer to Figure 3 As shown, the dimensions of at least two sets of air outlet groups 113a in the first direction are greater than the length of the cleaning component in the first direction. In other words, the projected length of at least two sets of air outlet groups 113a in the first direction is greater than the projected length of the cleaning component in the first direction. This ensures uniform heating of the cleaning component when it rotates, thereby further improving the drying efficiency of the cleaning component.

[0074] For example, such as Figure 3 As shown, the dimension of the air outlet 113 in the first direction is denoted by, for example, 'a', the dimension of the air outlet 113 in the second direction is denoted by, for example, 'b', the first gap is denoted by, for example, 'c', the second gap is denoted by, for example, 'd', the maximum length of at least two sets of air outlet groups 113a in the first direction is denoted by, for example, 'e', ​​and the length of the cleaning component in the first direction is denoted by, f.

[0075] a>c>b>d (1)

[0076] e>f (2)

[0077] This ensures that the cleaning components are heated evenly during rotation, improving drying efficiency and effectiveness, and also enhances the compactness of the air outlet 113 layout on the docking position 112.

[0078] In order to improve the stability of the cleaning component when it rests on the docking position 112 and the uniformity of the drying of the cleaning component by the hot air blown out of the air outlet 113, in this embodiment of the application, the outline shape of the docking position 112 can match the outline shape of the cleaning component. For example, if the cross-section of the cleaning component is circular, then the outline shape of the docking position 112 is an arc-shaped structure that matches the cleaning component. In this way, the stability of the cleaning component when it rests on the docking position 112 can be improved.

[0079] In addition, to improve drying efficiency, the higher the temperature of the hot air blown out by the heating element 122, the better the drying effect. However, the cleaning components are usually brushes, rubber, silicone, etc. that can clean stains, which are easily damaged when exposed to high temperatures. Therefore, in this embodiment, when the cleaning component is placed on the resting position 112, there is a gap between it and the air outlet 113. That is, there is a third gap between the cleaning component and the surface of the resting position 112 with the air outlet 113. This can prevent the temperature blown out by the air outlet 113 from being too high and causing damage to the cleaning component, and can also prevent the surface temperature of the resting position 112 with the air outlet 113 from being too high and causing damage to the cleaning component. By setting the third gap, direct contact between the cleaning component and the surface of the resting position 112 with the air outlet 113 is avoided, thereby extending the service life of the cleaning component.

[0080] Therefore, in this embodiment, by matching the outline shape of the docking position 112 with the outline shape of the cleaning component, when the cleaning component is docked on the docking position 112, there is a third gap between the cleaning component and the air outlet 113. In this way, when the cleaning component is docked on the docking position 112, direct contact between the cleaning component and the air outlet 113 is avoided, thereby preventing the problem of the cleaning component being damaged due to excessively high air temperature blown out of the air outlet 113. This improves the drying efficiency of the cleaning component and extends its service life.

[0081] For example, the cleaning component is a roller brush, the resting position 112 is an arc-shaped structure that matches the roller brush, and the air outlet 113 is set on the arc-shaped structure. This improves the uniformity of the gap between the air outlet 113 and the cleaning component, thereby improving the uniformity of air drying and the drying efficiency of the cleaning component.

[0082] When the cleaning component is parked on the parking position 112, the size of the third gap between the cleaning component and the air outlet 113 is greater than 0 and less than or equal to the radius of the cleaning component, which improves the drying efficiency of the cleaning component and extends its service life.

[0083] For example, the gap between the cleaning component and the air outlet 113 is 10mm. This ensures that the drying efficiency of the cleaning component is improved while avoiding direct contact between the cleaning component and the docking position 112. This prevents the hot air blown out of the air outlet 113 from being too hot and causing damage to the cleaning component, thereby extending the service life of the cleaning component.

[0084] To further improve the drying efficiency of the cleaned parts, the cross-sectional area of ​​the air outlet 113 is smaller than that of the air duct 111. Thus, the smaller the total area of ​​the air outlet 113 is relative to the cross-sectional area of ​​the air duct 111, the higher the air velocity. This allows the hot air blown out of the air outlet 113 to quickly remove the moisture from the cleaned parts, thereby improving the drying efficiency of the cleaned parts.

[0085] It is understandable that the air duct 111 has an air inlet and an air outlet, with the air outlet connected to the air outlet 113. That is, external air enters the air duct 111 from the air inlet and is heated by the heating element 122. The fan 121 blows the heated air out from the air outlet, so that the hot air is blown towards the cleaning part through the air outlet 113. Along the direction from the air inlet to the air outlet, the cross-sectional area of ​​the air duct 111 gradually decreases, which can further increase the air outlet speed of the air outlet 113, thereby further improving the drying efficiency of the cleaning part.

[0086] In some embodiments, the fan 121 has an air outlet, and the total area of ​​the air outlet 113 on the docking position 112 is smaller than the total area of ​​the air outlet of the fan 121. This increases the airflow rate of the air outlet 113, so that the moisture on the cleaning parts can be quickly removed by the hot air blown out, thereby improving the drying efficiency of the cleaning parts.

[0087] In addition, base station 100 may also have other functions, such as charging cleaning equipment, which are not limited here.

[0088] A second aspect of this application provides a cleaning system, including cleaning equipment and a base station provided in the first aspect, wherein the cleaning equipment can be docked on the base station.

[0089] The structure and working principle of the base station have been described in detail in the above embodiments and will not be repeated here.

[0090] In addition, the cleaning system also includes cleaning equipment, which includes, but is not limited to, floor scrubbers, automatic cleaning robots, etc. For details, please refer to the relevant technologies, which will not be elaborated here.

[0091] In the base station and cleaning system provided in this application embodiment, an air duct and a docking position are set on the base station body. The docking position has an air outlet that communicates with the air duct, and a drying component is set in the air duct. When the cleaning component is docked at the docking position, the air outlet faces the cleaning component, and the hot air generated by the drying component is blown onto the cleaning component through the air outlet to dry the cleaning component. In addition, the size of the air outlet in the first direction is larger than the size in the second direction, and the first direction is consistent with the length direction of the cleaning component. The second direction has an angle with the first direction. When the cleaning component is a roller brush, the roller brush rotates around its own axis during the drying process. Therefore, by making the size of the air outlet in the length of the roller brush larger than its radial size, the hot air can be blown evenly onto the roller brush in the length direction of the roller brush, thereby improving the uniformity and efficiency of drying the cleaning component, avoiding the growth of bacteria and the generation of odors, and thus improving the user experience.
