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.

[0033] The following disclosure provides numerous different embodiments or examples for implementing various structures of this application. To simplify the disclosure, specific examples of components and arrangements are described below. These are merely examples and are not intended to limit the scope of this application. Furthermore, reference numerals and / or letters may be repeated in different examples.

Therefore, the example term "below" can include both upper and lower orientations. The device may be otherwise oriented (rotated 90 degrees or in other directions), and the spatial relative descriptors used in the text will be interpreted accordingly.

[0035] To address the technical problems in the prior art, this application provides a base station cleaning structure that enables the continuous supply of cleaning water to the mop for rinsing by setting up a cleaning water outlet, a scraper, and a sewage collection tank. The scraper also promptly scrapes water stains and dirt on the mop into the sewage collection tank, avoiding the reuse of sewage and preventing the mop from remaining unclean after a period of cleaning. This improves the cleanliness of the mop and the cleaning quality of the next cleaning, thus enhancing the user experience.

[0036] Figure 1-6This application provides a base station cleaning structure for cleaning components of a sweeper 2 that has returned to base station 1. The components to be cleaned in this invention are, but are not limited to, mops 3; they can also be sweeping structures, etc. The structure includes the aforementioned base station 1 and sweeper 2. Base station 1 includes a base 4, with a cleaning area 5 at one end of the base 4. The cleaning area 5 accommodates the mop 3, and at least a portion of the mop 3 of the sweeper 2 is located within the cleaning area 5. The structure within the cleaning area 5 cleans the mop 3. Specifically, the cleaning area 5 includes a cleaning water outlet 6, a scraper 7, and a wastewater collection tank 8. The scraper 7 is positioned between the cleaning water outlet 6 and the wastewater collection tank 8, and the mop 3 abuts against the scraper 7. Base station 1 is connected to sweeping robot 2 via signal, which can be wireless or electrical. Base station 1 controls the rotation of mop 3 and controls the water outlet 6 to supply cleaning water to mop 3. As mop 3 rotates past scraper 7, scraper 7 scrapes water and dirt from mop 3 into wastewater collection tank 8. It can be understood that, since mop 3 is a flexible structure, when sweeping robot 2 controls the rotation of mop 3, the force generated by the rotation must be greater than the friction between mop 3 and scraper 7 to cause mop 3 to move relative to scraper 7. This can be achieved by setting the length of mop 3 protruding from scraper 7 and the power of mop 3's rotation.

[0037] Please see Figure 2 The base station 1 also includes a main body 9, which is connected to the base 4, and a accommodating space for accommodating the sweeper 2 is formed between the main body 9 and the base 4.

[0038] Furthermore, a clean water supply structure 10 is provided inside the main body 9. The clean water supply structure 10 is connected to the clean water outlet 6, and provides clean water to the clean water outlet 6 during operation. In one specific embodiment, the clean water supply structure 10 includes a clean water tank 11, a water pump 12, and a solenoid valve 13. The water pump 12 is connected to both the clean water tank 11 and the solenoid valve 13 via pipelines, and the clean water outlet 6 is connected to the solenoid valve 13. When the water pump 12 is working, it draws clean water from the clean water tank 11 to the clean water outlet 6, at which time the solenoid valve 13 is in the conducting state. In this invention, the water pump 12 is a peristaltic pump.

[0039] Please see Figure 5The cleaning water outlet 6 includes at least one water outlet 14 and a guide channel 15. The guide channel 15 has a channel structure, and the water outlet 14 is located in the middle of the channel structure. The water outlet 14 supplies water to the mop 3. Water that is not absorbed by the mop 3 falls onto the channel structure of the guide channel 15. During rotation, the extended mop 3 can also come into contact with the water in the channel structure, thereby improving the utilization rate of cleaning water and the cleaning degree of the mop 3. The present invention has three water outlets 14, but it can also be set to one, two, or more than three, depending on the power of the water supply pump 12, the size of the mop 3, etc.

[0040] Furthermore, a sewage recovery structure 16 is also provided inside the main body 9. The sewage recovery structure 16 is connected to the sewage collection tank 8. When working, the sewage recovery structure 16 recovers the sewage in the sewage collection tank 8 to prevent excessive water accumulation in the sewage collection tank 8 and spillage during cleaning. As a specific embodiment, the sewage recovery structure 16 includes a sewage tank 17 and a vacuum pump 18. The sewage tank 17 is connected to both the vacuum pump 18 and the sewage collection tank 8. When working, the vacuum pump 18 extracts air from the sewage tank 17 to create a pressure difference with the outside. The vacuum state of the sewage tank 17 then extracts the sewage from the connected sewage collection tank 8 to achieve sewage discharge.

[0041] Furthermore, at least one cleaning protrusion 19 is provided in the cleaning area 5, and multiple protrusions 20 are provided on the cleaning protrusion 19, wherein the protrusions 20 abut against the mop 3. The protrusions 20 are provided to increase the friction between the mop and the mop 3 to achieve a scrubbing effect. At the same time, there are gaps between the protrusions 20 to facilitate water diversion. The protrusions 20 can also work with the scraper 7 to support the mop 3, so as to prevent the rotating structure of the mop 3 from shifting due to long-term single reaction force, which would affect the mop 3's mopping effect. The mop 3 can be moved relative to the scraper 7 and the protrusions 20 by controlling the force generated by the rotation of the mop 3 to be greater than the friction between the mop 3 and the scraper 7 and the protrusions 20.

[0042] In this utility model, there are two cleaning water outlets 6, which are located at both ends of the sewage collection tank 8. They are used to meet the cleaning operation of the mop 3 of the sweeper 2 equipped with two sets of mop 3, including but not limited to this. The specific number of cleaning water outlets 6 can be determined according to the number of mop 3 and the degree of cleaning required for the mop 3. At this time, there are two scrapers 7, which are used to scrape dirt from the two sets of mop 3 respectively. The specific number of scrapers 7 can be determined according to the number of mop 3 and the degree of cleaning required for the mop 3.

[0043] Please continue reading. Figure 5A detachable sludge collection filter cover 21 is detachably connected to the sewage collection tank 8. Multiple drainage holes 22 are provided on the sludge collection filter cover 21. The sludge collection filter cover 21 is designed to support larger particles of waste residue, preventing pipe blockage. Sewage leaks through the drainage holes 22 to the sewage collection tank 8 and is then recovered by the sewage recovery structure 16. It is understood that the size of the drainage holes 22 is not specifically limited; there is a certain gap between the sludge collection filter cover 21 and the bottom of the sewage collection tank 8 to facilitate sewage flow. In this invention, scrapers 7 are located at both ends of the sludge collection filter cover 21, but not limited to this, they can also be located at one end of the sludge collection filter cover 21, depending on the number of scrapers 7. In this invention, the sludge collection filter cover 21 and the sewage collection tank 8 are detachably connected by a snap-fit ​​connection, which has the advantages of convenient disassembly and assembly, easy cleaning, and easy replacement. Alternatively, a threaded connection can also be used for detachable connection, depending on actual needs.

[0044] Please continue reading. Figure 5 A drain trough 23 is provided on the sludge collection filter cover 21. The drain trough 23 is located at the end of the scraper 7 away from the cleaning water outlet 6 and is connected to the scraper 7. The drain trough 23 allows the water stains and dirt scraped by the scraper 7 to fall quickly into the sewage collection tank 8, avoiding the accumulation of dirt on one side of the scraper 7 and affecting subsequent scraping operations.
