[0053] Exemplary embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, these exemplary embodiments can be implemented in many forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein; rather, they are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the concept of the exemplary embodiments to those skilled in the art. The same reference numerals in the drawings denote the same or similar structures, and therefore detailed descriptions of them will be omitted. Furthermore, the drawings are merely illustrative of this disclosure and are not necessarily drawn to scale.

[0054] Although relative terms such as "up" and "down" are used in this specification to describe the relative relationship of one component of an icon to another, these terms are used only for convenience, such as according to the orientation of the examples shown in the accompanying drawings. It is understood that if the device of the icon is flipped upside down, the component described as "up" will become the component described as "down." When a structure is "up" of another structure, it may mean that the structure is integrally formed on the other structure, or that the structure is "directly" mounted on the other structure, or that the structure is "indirectly" mounted on the other structure through another structure.

[0055] The terms “a,” “one,” “the,” “the,” and “at least one” are used to indicate the presence of one or more elements / components / etc.; the terms “including” and “having” are used to indicate an open-ended inclusion and to mean that there may be other elements / components / etc. in addition to the listed elements / components / etc.; the terms “first,” “second,” and “third,” etc., are used only as markers and are not a limitation on the number of objects.

[0056] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the term "connection" should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connection" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. "And / or" is merely a description of the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A existing alone, A and B existing simultaneously, or B existing alone. Furthermore, the character " / " in this document generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects have an "or" relationship.

[0057] This disclosure provides an example implementation of a maintenance base station for a cleaning device, with reference to... Figures 1-7 As shown, the maintenance base station of the cleaning equipment may include a chassis 1, a cleaning component 2, and an elastic component 6. The cleaning component 2 is rotatably disposed on one side of the chassis 1. The side of the cleaning component 2 away from the chassis 1 is used to place the cleaning equipment 8. The cleaning component 2 includes a body part 21 and a first cleaning part 22. The first cleaning part 22 is disposed on the side of the body part 21 near the chassis 1. The first cleaning part 22 abuts against the chassis 1 and is used to clean the chassis 1. The elastic component 6 is disposed between the chassis 1 and the cleaning component 2. The cleaning component 2 is movable relative to the chassis 1 in a first direction X, which is perpendicular to the horizontal plane.

[0058] The maintenance base station of the cleaning equipment disclosed herein, on the one hand, can clean the chassis 1 through the first cleaning part 22 to avoid problems such as quality changes, bacterial growth, and odor caused by garbage and sewage residue; on the other hand, the greater the distance the cleaning equipment 8 moves downward along the first direction X, the greater the pressure of the cleaning equipment 8 on the cleaning component 2, thereby making the pressure applied by the cleaning component 2 on the elastic component 6 greater, making the compression of the elastic component 6 greater, and the rebound force generated by the elastic component 6 greater. The rebound force generated by the elastic component 6 will act upward along the first direction to the cleaning component 2, thereby further increasing the rubbing pressure between the cleaning equipment 8 and the cleaning component 2, ensuring the cleaning effect of the cleaning component 2 on the cleaning element 81 of the cleaning equipment 8.

[0059] In this example implementation, refer to Figure 1 As shown, the maintenance base station may include a base 5, which can be placed on the ground and is used to support the entire maintenance base station.

[0060] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a chassis 1 is provided on the base 5. The chassis 1 is configured with a structure that is low in the middle and high around the perimeter. Specifically, the chassis 1 may include a base plate, and a bending plate is provided around the perimeter of the base plate. The bending plate is bent away from the base 5, so that the chassis 1 forms a structure that is low in the middle and high around the perimeter. This allows solid waste and wastewater generated when the cleaning component 2 cleans the cleaning element 81 of the cleaning equipment 8 to fall onto the chassis 1, instead of falling from the chassis 1 onto the base 5 and contaminating the base 5.

[0061] In this example embodiment, the cleaning component 2 is rotatably disposed on one side of the chassis 1. Specifically, the cleaning component 2 is rotatably disposed on the side of the chassis 1 opposite to the base 5.

[0062] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the cleaning component 2 can be disc-shaped, for example, it can be circular. The side of the cleaning component 2 facing away from the chassis 1 is used to place the cleaning device 8. The cleaning component 2 may include a body portion 21, a first cleaning portion 22, and a second cleaning portion 23. The body portion 21 can be circular and may include a first part 211 and a second part 212. The first part 211 can be the central part of the body portion 21 and is used to connect with a drive mechanism that drives the cleaning component 2 to rotate. The second part 212 surrounds the outer periphery of the first part 211 and has a first edge 2121 and a second edge 2122. The first edge 2121 is the edge connecting the second part 212 and the first part 211, that is, the innermost edge of the second part 212. The second edge 2122 can be the outermost edge of the body portion 21. Both the first edge 2121 and the second edge 2122 can be circular edges.

[0063] Of course, in other exemplary embodiments of this disclosure, the cleaning component 2 may also include multiple mounting strips, with one end of the multiple mounting strips connected as a single unit, and the multiple mounting strips forming a radial structure after connection; various regular or irregular notches may also be provided on the aforementioned circular disc-shaped cleaning component 2. The cleaning component 2 may also be of other shapes, which will not be elaborated here.

[0064] In this example embodiment, the first cleaning part 22 is provided on the side of the main body 21 near the chassis 1. The first cleaning part 22 abuts against the chassis 1 and is used to clean the chassis 1. That is, the chassis 1 can be cleaned by the first cleaning part 22 to avoid problems such as quality changes, bacterial growth, and odor caused by solid waste and sewage residue.

[0065] "Abutting" emphasizes the presence of force between the two; that is, "abutting" reflects the state of force between the first cleaning part 22 and the chassis 1, and "abutting" does not mean that there is a connection between the two; that is, the abutting of the first cleaning part 22 and the chassis 1 refers to the state of force between the first cleaning part 22 and the chassis 1, but there is no connection between them.

[0066] Reference Figure 2 As shown, an elastic element 6 is provided between the chassis 1 and the cleaning component 2, so that the cleaning component 2 can move relative to the chassis 1 in the first direction X, and the cleaning device 8 can also move relative to the chassis 1 in the first direction X. The greater the distance that the cleaning device 8 moves downward in the first direction X, the greater the pressure of the cleaning device 8 on the cleaning component 2, which in turn makes the pressure applied by the cleaning component 2 on the elastic element 6 greater, resulting in a greater compression of the elastic element 6 and a greater rebound force generated by the elastic element 6. The rebound force generated by the elastic element 6 will act upward in the first direction to the cleaning component 2, thereby further increasing the scrubbing pressure between the cleaning device 8 and the cleaning component 2, ensuring the cleaning effect of the cleaning component 2 on the cleaning element 81 of the cleaning device 8.

[0067] In this example implementation, refer to Figure 2 As shown, the elastic element 6 can be set as a compression spring, which is a helical spring that bears axial pressure. Of course, the elastic element 6 can also be set as a spring sheet.

[0068] Reference Figure 2 As shown, in some example embodiments of this disclosure, the second cleaning part 23 is disposed on the side of the main body 21 facing away from the chassis 1. The second cleaning part 23 abuts against the cleaning element 81 of the cleaning device 8 to clean the cleaning element 81. That is, the cleaning element 81 of the cleaning device 8 can be cleaned by the second cleaning part 23.

[0069] The second cleaning section 23 may include multiple protrusions, which may be cylindrical, prism-shaped, frustum-shaped, etc. The multiple protrusions are arranged in multiple rows along the second direction, and the multiple rows of protrusions are evenly distributed along the rotation direction of the cleaning element 2. The multiple protrusions can ensure the cleaning effect on the cleaning element 81 of the cleaning equipment 8.

[0070] For example, when the cleaning component 2 is circular, multiple protrusions are arranged in multiple rows along the radial direction of the cleaning component 2, and the multiple rows of protrusions are evenly distributed along the circumference of the cleaning component 2.

[0071] Of course, in other exemplary embodiments of this disclosure, the multiple protrusions may also be arranged according to other rules on the side of the body portion 21 facing away from the chassis 1, and the multiple protrusions may also be randomly arranged on the side of the body portion 21 facing away from the chassis 1. The protrusions may also be provided as straight strips, curved strips, or various other regular or irregular polygonal columns.

[0072] In some exemplary embodiments of this disclosure, reference is made to Figure 7 As shown, the cleaning device 8 may also include an adjustment mechanism 7 connected to the cleaning element 81. The adjustment mechanism 7 is used to adjust the height of the cleaning element 81 in the first direction X, and the adjustment mechanism 7 is used to provide a certain pressure to the cleaning element 81.

[0073] Specifically, the adjustment mechanism 7 may include a driver 71, which has a drive shaft extending along a first direction X and is telescopic in the first direction X. A cleaning element 81 is connected to the drive shaft. The telescopic movement of the drive shaft along the first direction X causes the cleaning element 81 to move along the first direction X, thereby adjusting the height of the cleaning element 81 in the first direction X. Furthermore, after the cleaning element 81 contacts the cleaning component 2, when the drive shaft continues to move the cleaning element 81 downward along the first direction X, the adjustment mechanism 7 can provide a certain pressure to the cleaning element 81. The driver 71 may be a linear motor, an electric cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, a pneumatic cylinder, etc. The adjustment mechanism 7 may be one, two, or more.

[0074] During the process of the drive shaft driving the cleaning element 81 to move downward along the first direction X, after the cleaning element 81 contacts the cleaning component 2, and the drive shaft continues to drive the cleaning element 81 to move downward along the first direction X, the adjustment mechanism 7 can provide a certain pressure to the cleaning element 81, so that there is a certain rubbing pressure between the cleaning element 81 and the cleaning component 2. Moreover, the greater the distance that the cleaning element 81 moves downward along the first direction X, the greater the rubbing pressure between the cleaning element 81 and the cleaning component 2, thereby adjusting the rubbing pressure between the cleaning element 81 and the cleaning component 2. In addition, the cleaning pressure between the cleaning component 2 and the chassis 1 is also greater, thereby adjusting the cleaning pressure between the cleaning component 2 and the chassis 1.

[0075] Of course, the specific structure of the regulating mechanism 7 is not limited to the above description, and it can also be a regulating mechanism with other structures, which will not be elaborated here.

[0076] It should be noted that in this disclosure, the first direction X is perpendicular to the horizontal plane, or in other words, the first direction X is a vertical direction. The second direction Y is parallel to the horizontal plane, or in other words, the second direction Y is a horizontal direction, and the second direction intersects the rotation direction of the cleaning component 2. For example, the second direction can be perpendicular to the rotation direction of the cleaning component 2.

[0077] In this example embodiment, two cleaning components 2 can be provided, and the two cleaning components 2 can form a generally rectangular structure, which can perform relatively comprehensive cleaning on all parts of the cleaning element 81 of the rectangular cleaning device 8. Of course, in some other example embodiments of this disclosure, one, three or more cleaning components 2 can be provided.

[0078] During the cleaning process of the cleaning component 2 cleaning the cleaning element 81 of the cleaning equipment 8, solid waste and sewage will fall onto the chassis 1.

[0079] The cleaning component 2 may also include a connecting cylinder 24, which is connected to the periphery of the main body 21 and extends towards the side closer to the chassis 1. The connecting cylinder 24 can divert wastewater, preventing it from flowing to the side of the main body 21 closest to the chassis 1.

[0080] Specifically, refer to Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the first cleaning part 22 may include a scraper 221, which extends along the second direction Y. For example, when the cleaning member 2 is circular, the scraper 221 extends radially along the cleaning member 2, and the scraper 221 extends at least from the first edge 2121 of the second part 212 to the second edge 2122. For example, the scraper 221 may extend from the first edge 2121 of the second part 212 to the second edge 2122, such that the length of the scraper 221 is equal to the circumferential width of the second part 212, that is, the scraper 221 occupies the second part 212 in the entire radial direction; or the scraper 221 may extend from the first edge 2121 of the second part 212 to the second edge 2122 and protrude beyond the second edge 2122, such that the length of the scraper 221 is greater than the circumferential width of the second part 212. The scraper 221 is set as long as possible so that a large area of ​​the chassis 1 can be cleaned by one scraper 221. Since the first part 211 needs to be connected to the drive mechanism that drives the cleaning component 2 to rotate, the first cleaning part 22 cannot be provided on the side of the first part 211 near the chassis 1. Three scrapers 221 can be provided, and the three scrapers 221 are evenly distributed, i.e., the included angle between two adjacent scrapers 221 is approximately 120 degrees.

[0081] In addition, in some other exemplary embodiments of this disclosure, the scraper 221 may be provided as one, two or more; and the scraper 221 may be evenly distributed, i.e., the included angle between two adjacent scraper 221 is the same; or they may be non-uniformly distributed, i.e., the included angle between two adjacent scraper 221 is not the same. Furthermore, the scraper 221 may not extend from the first edge 2121 to the second edge 2122 of the second part 212. For example, the scraper 221 located on the same radius may be disconnected, and two circumferentially adjacent scraper 221 may be staggered, so that the second part 212 is fully covered radially by the scraper 221 provided on two, three or more radii.

[0082] In some exemplary embodiments of this disclosure, the first cleaning section 22 may include a brush strip extending in a second direction Y. For example, if the cleaning member 2 is circular, the brush strip extends radially along the cleaning member 2. Alternatively, the first cleaning section 22 may be configured as a hybrid structure including a scraper 221 and a brush strip. The extension position of the brush strip may be the same as the extension position of the scraper 221, which will not be elaborated further here.

[0083] In this example implementation, refer to Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the first cleaning part 22 protrudes from the side of the main body 21 near the chassis 1, that is, the scraper 221 protrudes from the side of the main body 21 near the chassis 1, so that the first cleaning part 22 can abut against the chassis 1; specifically, the scraper 221 protrudes from the side of the connecting cylinder 24 away from the main body 21. Of course, in some other exemplary embodiments of this disclosure, the scraper 221 may be flush with the side of the connecting cylinder 24 near the chassis 1.

[0084] The material of the first cleaning section 22 can be rubber, resin, etc., that is, the material of the scraper 221 can be rubber, resin, etc. This allows the scraper 221 to undergo greater elastic deformation under force, and the scraper 221 can make closer contact with the chassis 1. The scraper 221 can not only clean the solid waste on the chassis 1, but also scrape away the sewage on the chassis 1.

[0085] In this example embodiment, the cleaning component 2 further includes a rotating shaft 25, which rotates around the rotating shaft 25 as a central axis, and the rotating shaft 25 of the cleaning component 2 is connected to the driving mechanism 3, so that the driving mechanism 3 can drive the cleaning component 2 to rotate.

[0086] The elastic element 6 is arranged around the rotating shaft 25 of the cleaning element 2. The rotating shaft 25 can guide the elastic deformation of the elastic element 6, so as to prevent the cleaning element 2 from tilting during the elastic deformation of the elastic element 6, which would cause the cleaning element 81 of the cleaning equipment 8 and the chassis 1 to be washed unevenly, resulting in poor cleaning effect on the cleaning element 81 and chassis 1 of the cleaning equipment 8.

[0087] Alternatively, the elastic element 6 can be located between the rotating shaft 25 and the first cleaning part 22. The rotating shaft 25 can guide the elastic deformation of the first cleaning part 22, so as to avoid the cleaning part 2 tilting during the elastic deformation of the elastic element 6 and the first cleaning part 22, which would cause the cleaning part 2 to rub the cleaning element 81 and the chassis 1 of the cleaning equipment 8 unevenly, resulting in poor cleaning effect on the cleaning element 81 and the chassis 1 of the cleaning equipment 8.

[0088] In this example implementation, refer to Figure 3 As shown, at least a portion of the chassis 1 is configured as a double-layer structure 11. The double-layer structure 11 may include a first support plate 111 and a second support plate 112. The second support plate 112 is located on the side of the first support plate 111 that is closer to the cleaning component 2. That is, the second support plate 112 is closer to the cleaning component 2 than the first support plate 111. Alternatively, the second support plate 112 can be said to be located above the first support plate 111.

[0089] The second support plate 112 is provided with a first filter hole 1121, while the first support plate 111 is not provided with a filter hole, that is, the first support plate 111 is a solid plate. Wastewater can be filtered through the first filter hole 1121 on the second support plate 112, so that the wastewater flows through the first filter hole 1121 to the first support plate 111, while solid waste remains on the second support plate 112, thereby separating wastewater and solid waste.

[0090] Furthermore, a gap is provided between the first support plate 111 and the second support plate 112, that is, the first support plate 111 and the second support plate 112 are provided with a receiving space, and a certain amount of sewage can be stored in the gap.

[0091] Optionally, a recess 1111 is provided on the first support plate 111, and the orthographic projection of the first cleaning part 22 on the horizontal plane overlaps with the orthographic projection of the recess 1111 on the horizontal plane. For example, a part of the orthographic projection of the first cleaning part 22 on the horizontal plane overlaps with a part of the orthographic projection of the recess 1111 on the horizontal plane.

[0092] Specifically, the recess 1111 can be disposed between the two cleaning components 2 and located on one side of the two cleaning components 2. The orthographic projection of the end of the first cleaning part 22 on the horizontal plane overlaps with a portion of the orthographic projection of the recess 1111 on the horizontal plane; since the first cleaning part 22 rotates together with the cleaning components 2, the orthographic projection of the end of each scraper 221 on the horizontal plane can overlap with a portion of the orthographic projection of the recess 1111 on the horizontal plane. This allows the wastewater scraped by each scraper 221 to flow into the recess 1111.

[0093] Furthermore, at least a portion of the second support plate 112 is disposed within the recess 1111. For example, a portion of the second support plate 112 may be disposed within the recess 1111, or the entire second support plate 112 may be disposed within the recess 1111. Wastewater flowing into the recess 1111 can be filtered through the first filter hole 1121 on the second support plate 112.

[0094] In this example implementation, refer to Figure 3As shown, the second support plate 112 has an opening 1122 that connects to the gap. The maintenance base station may also include a pumping mechanism (not shown in the figure), which may include a pumping pipe and a pump. One end of the pumping mechanism extends into the opening 1122; specifically, one end of the pumping pipe extends into the opening 1122, and the other end of the pumping pipe is connected to the pump. The pumping mechanism is used to pump out sewage, i.e., the pump draws out sewage through the pumping pipe. The pumping mechanism can completely remove the sewage from the gap between the first support plate 111 and the second support plate 112.

[0095] In this example implementation, refer to Figure 3 As shown, the chassis 1 may also include baffles 12, which are disposed along the edge of the opening 1122. For example, three baffles 12 may be provided, connected in sequence, surrounding three sides of the opening 1122, with no baffle 12 on the side where the water pipe is placed. Of course, in some other exemplary embodiments of this disclosure, baffles 12 may also be provided along all four sides of the opening 1122. Providing baffles 12 can prevent solid waste from falling through the opening 1122 onto the first support plate 111, thus preventing the solid waste from being difficult to clean.

[0096] The baffle 12 is provided with a second filter hole 121, which can also filter sewage, so that the sewage can flow quickly into the gap between the first support plate 111 and the second support plate 112.

[0097] Alternatively, the second support plate 112 can be detachably connected to the first support plate 111. For example, the second support plate 112 can be connected to the first support plate 111 by a snap-fit ​​structure or by screws, both of which allow the second support plate 112 to be detached.

[0098] Since solid waste remains on the second support plate 112, the second support plate 112 is detachably connected to the first support plate 111. After cleaning the cleaning element 81 of the cleaning device 8 is completed, the second support plate 112 can be removed and the solid waste on the second support plate 112 can be manually removed to avoid the solid waste from remaining for a long time and causing quality changes, bacterial growth, and odor.

[0099] When cleaning the cleaning element 81 of the cleaning device 8, water needs to be added. In this example embodiment, water can be added through the cleaning device 8, so the water adding structure can be omitted to reduce costs.

[0100] In this example implementation, refer to Figure 6As shown, the maintenance base station may also include a drive mechanism 3, which is used to drive the cleaning component 2 to rotate. The drive mechanism 3 may include a drive motor 3a and a transmission mechanism 4. The drive motor 3a may be a rotary motor. The drive motor 3a has a drive shaft. The drive motor 3a is fixed on the base 5, and the drive shaft of the drive motor 3a is parallel to the horizontal plane, that is, the drive shaft of the drive motor 3a extends along the second direction Y.

[0101] The transmission mechanism 4 may include a worm 41, a worm wheel 42, a first gear 43, a gear set 49, a second gear 44, a third gear 45, a fourth gear 46, a fifth gear 47, and a sixth gear 48. The worm 41 is coaxially connected to the drive shaft of the drive motor 3a, so that the worm 41 also extends along the second direction Y. The worm 41 meshes with the worm wheel 42, and the worm wheel 42 is coaxially and fixedly connected to the first gear 43 in the first direction X. The axial directions of the gear set 49, the first gear 43, the second gear 44, the third gear 45, the fourth gear 46, the fifth gear 47, and the sixth gear 48 all extend along the first direction X. The gear set 49 may include two gears coaxially arranged in the first direction X. One of the gears in gear set 49 meshes with the first gear 43, another gear in gear set 49 meshes with the second gear 44, the third gear 45 meshes with the second gear 44, the fourth gear 46 meshes with the third gear 45, the fifth gear 47 meshes with the fourth gear 46, and the sixth gear 48 meshes with the fifth gear 47, thereby realizing power transmission.

[0102] The drive motor 3a rotates, causing the worm gear 41 to rotate. The worm gear 41 rotates, causing the worm wheel 42 to rotate. The worm wheel 42 rotates, causing the first gear 43 to rotate. The first gear 43 rotates, causing the second gear 44 to rotate. The second gear 44 rotates, causing the third gear 45 to rotate. The third gear 45 rotates, causing the fourth gear 46 to rotate. The fourth gear 46 rotates, causing the fifth gear 47 to rotate. The fifth gear 47 rotates, causing the sixth gear 48 to rotate.

[0103] The diameter and number of teeth of the second gear 44 are larger than those of the first gear 43, thus reducing the rotational speed. The diameter and number of teeth of the second gear 44 are the same as those of the third gear 45. The diameter and number of teeth of the sixth gear 48 are the same as those of the third gear 45. The diameter and number of teeth of the fourth gear 46 are the same as those of the fifth gear 47. The fourth gear 46 and the fifth gear 47 are positioned between the sixth gear 48 and the third gear 45, ensuring that the rotational speed of the sixth gear 48 is the same as that of the third gear 45.

[0104] The third gear 45 is connected to a cleaning component 2. Specifically, a connecting shaft is fixed on the rotating shaft of the third gear 45. The end of the connecting shaft away from the third gear 45 is configured as a conical protrusion, and a first tooth is provided around the conical protrusion. A conical recess is provided on the side of the first part 211 of the cleaning component 2 near the third gear 45. The conical recess is adapted to the conical protrusion. A second tooth is provided in the conical recess, and the second tooth meshes with the first tooth. The cleaning component 2 is fixed only in the circumferential direction, and is not fixed in the axial direction (first direction X) of the cleaning component 2, so that the cleaning component 2 can move in the first direction X. The cleaning component 2 can be rotated by the third gear 45 to clean a part of the cleaning element 81 of the cleaning device 8.

[0105] The sixth gear 48 is connected to another cleaning component 2. Specifically, a connecting shaft is fixed on the rotating shaft of the sixth gear 48. The end of the connecting shaft away from the sixth gear 48 is configured as a conical protrusion, and a first tooth is provided around the conical protrusion. A conical recess is provided on the side of the first part 211 of the cleaning component 2 near the sixth gear 48. The conical recess is adapted to the conical protrusion, and a second tooth is provided in the conical recess. The second tooth meshes with the first tooth. The cleaning component 2 is fixed only in the circumferential direction, and is not fixed in the axial direction (first direction X) of the cleaning component 2, so that the cleaning component 2 can move in the first direction X. The sixth gear 48 can drive the cleaning component 2 to rotate, thereby cleaning another part of the cleaning element 81 of the cleaning device 8. Moreover, the two cleaning components 2 rotate at the same speed, so that the two cleaning components 2 exert the same cleaning force on the cleaning element 81 of the cleaning device 8.

[0106] The drive motor 3a rotates, driving the cleaning component 2 to rotate via the transmission mechanism 4, thereby achieving active cleaning of the cleaning element 81 of the cleaning equipment 8 and the chassis 1. Furthermore, the drive motor 3a can rotate forward and backward, alternating between the two directions; thus, the drive motor 3a can drive the cleaning component 2 to rotate forward and backward, alternating between the two directions, achieving both forward and reverse scrubbing of the chassis 1 and the cleaning element 81 of the cleaning equipment 8, improving cleaning efficiency. When the cleaning component 2 rotates in only one direction, debris easily gets stuck between the fibers of the cleaning element 81 and is not easily cleaned by the second cleaning part 23; when the cleaning component 2 rotates in reverse, the debris stuck between the fibers of the cleaning element 81 can be cleaned out, thereby improving the cleaning effect.

[0107] The cleaning element 81 of the cleaning device 8 may include various mops, various cleaning brushes, etc.

[0108] Of course, the specific structure of the transmission mechanism 4 is not limited to the above description. For example, the transmission mechanism 4 may not include the gear set 49 and the second gear 44, and the first gear 43 may directly mesh with the third gear 45; the transmission mechanism 4 may not include the fourth gear 46 and the fifth gear 47, so that the sixth gear 48 directly meshes with the third gear 45.

[0109] When the cleaning component 2 is provided with a first cleaning part 22 and a second cleaning part 23, the drive mechanism 3 drives the first cleaning part 22 and the second cleaning part 23 to perform cleaning simultaneously, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency.

[0110] Alternatively, the first cleaning part 22 can be detachably connected to the main body 21. For example, the first cleaning part 22 can be connected to the main body 21 by means of screws, clips, etc. This facilitates the removal of the first cleaning part 22 from the main body 21 for replacement or cleaning.

[0111] Alternatively, the second cleaning unit 23 can be detachably connected to the main body 21. For example, the second cleaning unit 23 can be connected to the main body 21 by means of screws, clips, etc. This facilitates the removal of the second cleaning unit 23 from the main body 21 for replacement or cleaning.

[0112] Based on the same inventive concept, this disclosure provides a cleaning system, which may include a cleaning device 8 and a maintenance base station for the cleaning device; the maintenance base station for the cleaning device is any of the maintenance base stations for the cleaning device described above. The specific structure of the maintenance base station has already been described in detail above, and therefore will not be repeated here.

[0113] The cleaning device 8 is used to clean surfaces that need cleaning (e.g., floors). After cleaning the surface, the cleaning device 8 returns to the maintenance base station, where it performs further cleaning. The cleaning device 8 can be any type of floor scrubber, mop, sweeping robot, mopping robot, or window cleaning robot, etc., and is not limited thereto. The cleaning device 8 may include a cleaning element 81 and drive wheels 82. The cleaning element 81 can be fixed; it can also move up and down, in which case the cleaning device 8 may include an adjustment mechanism 7, which has already been described above and will not be repeated here; the cleaning element 81 can also rotate, vibrate, etc., in which case the cleaning device 8 may include a driving mechanism that can drive the cleaning element 81 to rotate, vibrate, etc. The drive wheels 82 can drive the cleaning device 8 to move.
