[0009] According to the present invention, an embedded base station for a sweeping machine is provided, wherein the limiting component is disposed at the opening and is located at the bottom of the side plate parallel to the direction in which the base and the base enter and exit the opening.

[0010] According to the embedded base station of the sweeping machine provided by this utility model, the limiting component includes:

[0011] An elastic element, wherein the direction of extension and retraction of the elastic element is perpendicular to the direction in which the base enters and exits the opening;

[0012] A button is connected to the side plate of the base via the elastic element. The base is provided with a limiting hole adapted to the button. In the first state, the button is located in the limiting hole. In the second state, the elastic element is contracted, and the button is located between the base and the base.

[0013] According to the present invention, an embedded base station for a sweeping machine is provided, wherein the limiting component further includes a fixing plate, and the fixing plate is connected to the outer side wall of the base;

[0014] The button is located in the inner cavity, and the button is connected to the fixing plate through the elastic element.

[0015] According to the present invention, an embedded base station for a sweeping machine is provided, wherein one end of the button is rotatably connected to the fixed plate, and the other end is connected to the elastic element.

[0016] According to the present invention, an embedded base station for a sweeping machine is provided, wherein the base is provided with a sliding groove, and the sliding groove extends in the direction of the base entering and exiting the opening;

[0017] The base is equipped with a slider, which is located in the groove and can move along the groove.

[0018] According to the present invention, an embedded base station for a sweeping machine is provided, wherein the limiting component is disposed at one end of the slide groove near the opening;

[0019] In the first state, the slider is located at the end of the groove away from the opening.

[0020] According to the present invention, an embedded base station for a sweeping robot includes:

[0021] A chassis, wherein the cleaning tray is disposed on the upper surface of the chassis;

[0022] The ramp has an inclined surface that gradually rises along the direction from the opening to the inner cavity, and the high end of the ramp is detachably connected to the chassis.

[0023] According to the present invention, an embedded base station for a sweeping machine is provided, wherein end plates are provided on both sides of the slope plate, and the end plates are provided with the limiting holes;

[0042] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the embedded base station of the sweeping robot provided in this embodiment of the present invention includes a base 100, a base 200 and a limiting component 300. The base 100 is provided with an opening 110 and an inner cavity 120, and the opening 110 communicates with the inner cavity 120. The base 200 is provided with a detachable cleaning tray 210. The limiting component 300 is disposed on the base 100 and is adapted to switch between a first state and a second state. In the first state, the base 200 is fixed in the inner cavity 120. In the second state, the base 200 can enter and exit the inner cavity 120 through the opening 110.

[0043] The embedded base station of the sweeping robot of this embodiment mainly consists of a base 100, a base 200, and a limiting component 300. The base 100 is the lower structure of the base station body and has six surfaces facing different directions: front, rear, left, right, top, and bottom. The front surface is open, forming an opening 110, while the other sides form an inner cavity 120 of the base 100. The base 200 is located on the bottom surface of the base 100, and a detachable cleaning tray 210 is mounted on the base 200. The sweeping robot enters the inner cavity 120 through the opening 110 and finally reaches the cleaning tray 210 located in the inner cavity 120, where it performs its cleaning work.

[0044] A limiting component 300 is disposed on the base 100. The limiting component 300 can switch between a first state and a second state. In the first state, the limiting component 300 restricts the base 200 within the inner cavity 120, and the limiting component plays a fixing role for the base 200. When the robot vacuum cleaner performs self-cleaning, the base 200 and the cleaning tray 210 need to maintain stability to avoid displacement due to cleaning vibrations. In the second state, the limiting component 300 releases the restriction on the base 200, and the base 200 can be pulled out of the inner cavity 120 through the opening 110, and can also be pushed into the inner cavity 120 through the opening 110.

[0045] When the limiting component 300 switches from the first state to the second state, the base 200 is pulled out of the inner cavity 120 from the opening 110. The cleaning tray 210 can then be removed from the base 200 for cleaning. After cleaning, the cleaning tray 210 can be placed back into the base 200, and then the base 200 is pushed back into the inner cavity 120 from the opening 110. At this point, the limiting component 300 switches from the second state to the first state, fixing the base 200 in the inner cavity 120. Therefore, by setting the limiting component 300, a pull-out structure for the embedded base station base 200 is designed, realizing the pull-out function of the base 200 relative to the base 100. Users can easily pull out the base 200 for cleaning and maintenance, facilitating daily cleaning and maintenance and improving the user experience.

[0046] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the limiting component 300 is disposed at the opening 110 and is located at the bottom of the side plate parallel to the direction in which the base 100 and the base 200 enter and exit the opening 110.

[0047] In this embodiment, the limiting component 300 is disposed at the opening 110 of the base 100 and is located on the side plates of the left and right sides of the base 100. Since the base 200 is on the bottom surface of the base 100, the limiting component 300 is also disposed on the side plate near the bottom surface, corresponding to the location of the base 200.

[0048] To facilitate the user's operation of pulling out the base 200, the limiting component 300 is set at the position of the corresponding base 200 and located at the opening 110. That is, the user can switch the state of the limiting component 300 at the opening 110, so that the limiting component 300 releases the restriction on the movement of the base 200.

[0049] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the limiting component 300 includes an elastic element 310 and a button 320. The extension and retraction direction of the elastic element 310 is perpendicular to the direction of the base 200 entering and exiting the opening 110. The button 320 is connected to the side plate of the base 100 through the elastic element 310. The base 200 is provided with a limiting hole 242 adapted to the button 320. In a first state, the button 320 is located in the limiting hole 242. In a second state, the elastic element 310 is retracted, and the button 320 is located between the base 100 and the base 200.

[0050] In this embodiment, the limiting component 300 mainly consists of an elastic element 310 and a button 320. One end of the elastic element 310 is connected to the button 320, and the other end is connected to the side plate of the base 100. The extension and retraction directions of both ends of the elastic element 310 are perpendicular to the pull-out direction of the base 200. If the pull-out direction of the base 200 is longitudinal, then the extension and retraction of the elastic element 310 causes the button 320 to move laterally. This can also be understood as the pull-out direction of the base 200 being the length direction of the base 200, and the extension and retraction direction of the elastic element 310 being the width direction of the base 200.

[0051] The base 200 has a limiting hole 242 at the position corresponding to the button 320. The shape of the limiting hole 242 is adapted to the button 320. When the limiting component 300 is in the first state, the button 320 is located in the limiting hole 242, thereby limiting and fixing the base 200. When the limiting component 300 switches from the first state to the second state, that is, the button 320 is pressed, and the elastic element 310 is compressed at the same time. The button 320 moves towards the side plate of the base 100 until the button 320 exits from the limiting hole 242 and disengages from the limiting hole 242. The limiting component 300 is in the second state, releasing the restriction on the base 200. The user can pull the base 200 out of the inner cavity 120 from the opening 110. During the movement of the base 200, the button 320 contacts the base 200 and slides relative to the base 200 without hindering the movement of the base 200.

[0052] When the user pushes the base 200 from the opening 110 back into the inner cavity 120, the limiting component 300 switches from the second loading state to the first state. During the movement of the base 200, the button 320 contacts the base 200 and slides relative to the base 200 without hindering the movement of the base 200. Until the base 200 moves to the limiting hole 242 and aligns with the button 320, the button 320 moves away from the side plate of the base 100, and at the same time the elastic element 310 returns to its extension, the button 320 enters the limiting hole 242, and the limiting component 300 is in the first state, fixing the position of the base 200.

[0053] In this embodiment, the elastic element 310 can be a spring.

[0054] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the limiting component 300 further includes a fixing plate 330, which is connected to the outer wall of the base 100; the button 320 is located in the inner cavity 120, and the button 320 is connected to the fixing plate 330 through an elastic member 310.

[0055] In this embodiment, the limiting component 300 mainly consists of an elastic element 310, a button 320, and a fixing plate 330. The fixing plate 330 is located on the outside of the base 100, the elastic element 310 passes through the side plate of the base 100, the button 320 is located on the inside of the base 100, the fixing plate 330 is connected to the base 100, and the elastic element 310 is fixed on the fixing plate 330.

[0056] Due to the limitations of the structure of the base 100 and the base 200, the vertical distance between the side plates of the base 200 and the base 100 is limited. In this limited space, it is necessary to maximize the contraction of the elastic element 310 and the setting and movement of the button 320. Therefore, a fixing plate 330 is designed on the outer side wall of the base 100. The setting of the fixing plate 330 ensures the length of the elastic element 310, thereby ensuring the elastic force of the elastic element 310 and saving the lateral space occupied by the limiting component 300 in the inner cavity 120 of the base 100.

[0057] According to one embodiment of the present invention, one end of button 320 is rotatably connected to fixed plate 330, and the other end is connected to elastic member 310.

[0058] In this embodiment, one end of the button 320 is hinged to the fixing plate 330, and the other end or the middle of the button 320 is connected to the elastic member 310. Thus, pressing the button 320 can cause the button 320 to rotate at a certain angle. That is, the rotation angle of the button 320 at its original position is the amount of movement of the button 320 in the lateral space, which further saves the space occupied by the limiting component 300.

[0059] It also improves the stability of the button 320's operation. When the limiting component 300 is in the first and second states, the button 320 is rotatably connected to the fixing plate 330 and will not skew or move vertically or longitudinally due to the deformation of the elastic component 310.

[0060] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the base 100 is provided with a sliding groove 130, the sliding groove 130 extending in the direction of the base 200 entering and exiting the opening 110; the base 200 is provided with a slider 220, the slider 220 is located in the sliding groove 130 and can move along the sliding groove 130.

[0061] In this embodiment, in addition to the elastic button 320 designed between the base 200 and the base 100, a sliding groove 130 and slider 220 cooperation structure is added between the base 100 and the base 200. The extension direction of the sliding groove 130 is the pulling direction of the base 200. The sliding groove 130 is set on the left and right side plates of the base 100, and the slider 220 is set on the sides of the base 200 corresponding to the base 100. The position of the slider 220 corresponds to the position of the flowers and plants, and the slider 220 passes through the sliding groove 130. During the process of pulling the base 200 out, the slider 220 moves within the sliding groove 130 and along the sliding groove 130, guiding the movement of the base 200 and providing further assurance for the stability of the pulling and moving of the base 200.

[0062] In other embodiments, the slider 220 may also be disposed on the side plate of the base 100, and the slide groove 130 may be disposed on the side of the base 200, thereby enabling the slider 220 and the slide groove 130 to structurally mate. The slider 220 is disposed on the base 200, and the slide groove 130 is disposed on the base 100, which better suits the spatial structural dimensions between the base 200 and the base 100.

[0063] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the limiting component 300 is disposed at one end of the slide groove 130 near the opening 110; in the first state, the slider 220 is located at the end of the slide groove 130 away from the opening 110.

[0064] In this embodiment, the limiting component 300 is located at one end of the slide groove 130. When the base 200 is fixed in the inner cavity 120, the slider 220 is located at the other end of the slide groove 130. In order to maximize the movement distance of the base 200, the slide groove 130 extends from the front of the base 100 to the back of the base 100, and the slider 220 is also correspondingly arranged at the end of the base 200.

[0065] During the process of pulling the base 200 out of the inner cavity 120, the slider 220 moves from one end of the slide groove 130, approaches the limiting component 300, and stops moving until it abuts against the limiting component 300. At this time, the cleaning tray 210 on the base 200 can be mostly pulled out of the inner cavity 120, and the user can remove the cleaning tray 210. During the process of pushing the base 200 into the inner cavity 120, the slider 220 moves from one end of the slide groove 130, moves away from the limiting component 300, and stops moving until it reaches the other end of the slide groove 130. At this time, the base 200 is fully inserted into the inner cavity 120.

[0066] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the base 200 includes a chassis 230 and a ramp 240. A cleaning tray 210 is provided on the upper surface of the chassis 230. The slope of the ramp 240 gradually rises along the direction from the opening 110 to the inner cavity 120. The high end of the ramp 240 is detachably connected to the chassis 230.

[0067] In this embodiment, the base 200 mainly consists of a chassis 230 and a ramp 240. The chassis 230 supports the cleaning tray 210. The ramp 240 and the chassis 230 are arranged sequentially along the direction of being pushed into the inner cavity 120. The ramp 240 has an inclined surface that gradually slopes upward along the direction of entering the inner cavity 120 from the opening 110. Therefore, the chassis 230 is connected to the high end of the ramp 240 and is detachably connected to the ramp 240.

[0068] The ramp 240 and the base 200 are connected by a snap-fit. After the base 200 is pulled out from the inner cavity 120, the base 230 and the ramp 240 can be separated for more thorough cleaning and scrubbing, thus improving the cleaning effect.

[0069] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the slope plate 240 is provided with end plates 241 on both sides, and the end plates 241 are provided with limiting holes 242; the base plate 230 is provided with sliders 220 on both sides.

[0070] In this embodiment, the slope plate 240 is provided with end plates 241 on both sides perpendicular to its inclined extension direction, that is, end plates 241 are provided on both sides in the width direction of the slope plate 240. The end plates 241 are provided with limiting holes 242 near the opening 110 to provide an installation position for the lower end of the slope plate 240.

[0071] After pressing the button 320 with both hands, the user can use the end plate 241 to grab and pull the chassis 230 out through the slide 130, and then take out the detachable cleaning tray 210 for cleaning, which is convenient and effortless.

[0072] This utility model embodiment also provides a sweeping machine, including an embedded base station of the sweeping machine as described in the above embodiment.
