Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of clean technology, and in particular to a clean base station and a clean system. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, with the improvement of people's living standards, home cleaning has gradually entered the era of automation and intelligence. Cleaning equipment such as robot vacuum cleaners, also known as automatic cleaning machines, intelligent vacuum cleaners, and robotic vacuum cleaners, have emerged to free people from home cleaning work and effectively reduce their workload in this area.

[0003] In existing technologies, during the cleaning process, the cleaning robot's cloth component needs to be cleaned and dried via a base station after a period of use in order to continue cleaning.

[0004] However, cleaning and drying the cleaning robot's cloth component via a base station usually takes a long time, affecting the cleaning robot's cleaning efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] This application provides a cleaning base station and a cleaning system. The cleaning base station is used to solve the problem in the above-mentioned related technologies that the base station takes a long time to clean and dry the cloth component of the cleaning robot, which affects the cleaning efficiency of the cleaning robot.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the embodiments of this application provide the following technical solutions:

[0007] The first aspect of this application provides a clean base station, including:

[0008] The base station body has a cleaning tank at the bottom, which is used at least for cleaning the cloth assembly of the cleaning equipment.

[0009] A cloth storage unit is disposed on the base station body. The cloth storage unit includes multiple cloth storage compartments, which are used to store the cloth assembly.

[0010] A transport mechanism is movably connected to the base station body. The transport mechanism is used to carry the wiping cloth assembly and to transport the wiping cloth assembly between the washing tank and the wiping cloth storage compartment.

[0011] A drying component is disposed on the base station body, and the drying component is used at least to dry the cloth component located on the cloth storage compartment.

[0012] The cleaning base station in this embodiment of the application, by setting a cleaning tank at the bottom of the base station, can conveniently clean the cloth components of the cleaning equipment corresponding to the cleaning base station, avoiding manual cleaning and reducing the burden on users. By integrating the cloth storage component into the base station body, the cloth components of the cleaning equipment can be centrally stored, making it convenient to store the cloth components.

[0013] By integrating the drying component into the base station body, the cloth assembly can be dried directly in the cleaning tank, or centrally dried in the transport mechanism and on the cloth storage unit, without additional manual intervention.

[0014] This automated design improves ease of use and efficiency. Compared to related technologies where cleaning equipment uses a base station to wash and dry the used cloth assembly before continuing unfinished cleaning tasks, this solution directly replaces the cleaning equipment with a clean and dry cloth assembly, allowing the equipment to quickly continue cleaning. This reduces the cloth assembly's turnaround time, enabling it to be used again more quickly and improving overall work efficiency. Therefore, it enhances the cleaning efficiency of the cleaning equipment.

[0015] By setting up a transport mechanism, the cleaned cloth components in the washing tank can be automatically transported to the cloth storage compartment for storage, ready for future use. Alternatively, the dried and clean cloth components located in the storage compartment can be automatically transported to the washing tank for installation with the cleaning equipment. In some cases, storing cloth components can increase the storage space of the cleaning base station and automate the cloth component replacement process without manual intervention, thus improving system automation and reducing the user's workload.

[0016] In one possible implementation, the drying assembly includes a drying fan, a first air duct, and a second air duct; wherein,

[0017] The drying fan is connected to both the first air duct and the second air duct;

[0018] The first air duct includes a first air outlet, and the second air duct includes a second air outlet;

[0019] The first air outlet is connected to the washing tank, and the drying fan blows air into the washing tank through the first air duct to dry the cloth assembly located in the washing tank.

[0020] At least a portion of the structure of the second air outlet is disposed opposite to at least a portion of the cloth storage compartment, and the drying fan delivers air to the cloth storage unit through the second air duct to dry the cloth assembly located on the cloth storage compartment.

[0021] By configuring the drying assembly as a combination of a drying fan, a first air duct, and a second air duct, air can be effectively introduced into the washing tank and the cloth storage compartment. This design ensures that the airflow acts directly on the cloth components within the washing tank and the cloth storage compartment, thereby improving drying efficiency. Because the airflow acts directly on the area that needs to be dried, unnecessary airflow loss is reduced, and the directional airflow can more effectively remove moisture from the surface of the cloth components, shortening the drying time.

[0022] By connecting the first air outlet to the washing tank and aligning at least a portion of the second air outlet with at least a portion of the cloth storage compartment, the direction and intensity of the airflow can be better controlled by directly aligning the first and second air outlets with the washing tank and cloth storage compartment. This improves the drying effect and ensures that the cloth assembly reaches the ideal dry state in a shorter time. Furthermore, this design allows for adjusting the position and angle of the air outlets according to the needs of different cloth assemblies to achieve optimal drying results, enhancing the system's flexibility and adaptability.

[0023] In one possible implementation, the base station body has an activity space for the movement of the transport mechanism, and the second air outlet is connected to the activity space.

[0024] By incorporating an operating space within the base station body, the transport mechanism can have sufficient room to move within the base station, preventing interference between the transport mechanism and other structures of the base station. Connecting the second air outlet to the operating space facilitates the drying of the cloth assembly located on the transport mechanism within the operating space. For example, the cloth assembly can be dried on the transport mechanism and then stored in the cloth storage compartment.

[0025] In one possible implementation, the clean base station further includes a control device; wherein,

[0026] The control device is connected to both the transport mechanism and the drying assembly;

[0027] The control device is used to control the transport mechanism to transport the cleaned cloth assembly to a first position, and to control the drying assembly to dry the cloth assembly transported to the first position; or,

[0028] The control device is used to control the drying assembly to dry the cloth assembly that has been cleaned in the cleaning tank, and to control the transport mechanism to transport the dried cloth assembly to the cloth storage bin.

[0029] By setting up a control device, the movement of the transport mechanism and the working status of the drying components can be automatically controlled. This reduces manual intervention and improves the efficiency and consistency of the cleaning process. The control device allows for different transport and drying processes for different types of cloth assemblies, increasing the system's flexibility. The control device ensures that the transport mechanism accurately delivers the cloth assemblies to their designated locations. Automated control reduces errors and safety hazards that may occur during manual operation. The control device can optimize the path and speed of the transport mechanism, thereby accelerating the transport process of the cloth assemblies and improving overall cleaning efficiency.

[0030] In one possible implementation, the first position is the position of the transport mechanism closest to the second air outlet within the activity space, and the cloth assembly is dried on the transport mechanism.

[0031] This setup allows for direct drying of the cloth assembly on the transport mechanism. Since the first position is located within the operating space, without obstruction from other cloth assemblies, airflow circulation is improved, enhancing drying efficiency. By positioning the first position closest to the second air outlet, it receives the strongest airflow and highest temperature, facilitating faster moisture evaporation and further improving drying efficiency. It also ensures that all parts of the cloth assembly are thoroughly dried, reducing the risk of localized dampness or uneven drying. The faster drying process also reduces energy consumption, lowering operating costs and improving environmental friendliness. The rapid drying process shortens the overall cleaning and maintenance cycle, increasing equipment availability and productivity. Quick and thorough drying effectively reduces the risk of mold and bacteria growth in damp environments, improving equipment hygiene and safety.

[0032] In one possible implementation, the first position is the location of the cloth storage compartment on the cloth storage device that is closest to the second air outlet.

[0033] This configuration provides stable support for the cloth assembly through the cloth storage compartment, thereby improving the stability of the cloth assembly on the base station body and reducing drying noise. By setting the first position as close as possible to the second air outlet, it can receive the strongest airflow and the highest temperature, which helps to evaporate moisture more quickly, thereby improving drying efficiency. It also ensures that all parts of the cloth assembly are fully dried, reducing the risk of localized dampness or uneven drying.

[0034] In one possible implementation, the first position is the location of the initial cloth storage compartment on the cloth storage device corresponding to the cloth assembly.

[0035] This setup ensures that after use, the cloth assemblies are transported back to their initial positions for drying, guaranteeing they are always ready for use. This reduces preparation time and improves overall operational efficiency. Furthermore, different cloth assemblies can be assigned to specific storage compartments, reducing the risk of confusion and misplacement when different types of cloth assemblies are located in different areas, thus lowering the likelihood of operational errors. When a specific cloth assembly is needed, it can be quickly located and retrieved, reducing search time and improving response speed. This configuration facilitates integration with automated systems, enabling automatic allocation, transportation, and return of cloth assemblies, further enhancing operational standardization and consistency.

[0036] In one possible implementation, the base station body includes a front face, and the inlet for the cleaning equipment to enter the cleaning tank is located on the front face, the rear face, and the side face;

[0037] The two sides are arranged opposite each other along a first direction, the front face and the rear face are arranged opposite each other along a second direction, and both sides are located between the front face and the rear face, wherein the first direction, the second direction and the height direction of the base station body are mutually perpendicular;

[0038] The cloth storage component is disposed on the front end face;

[0039] In the height direction of the base station body, the rag storage unit is located at the top of the cleaning tank, and at least part of the second air outlet is located at the top of the rag storage unit.

[0040] This design utilizes gravity to help evaporated moisture drain naturally downwards, preventing moisture buildup in the cloth storage compartment and improving drying efficiency. Positioning the cloth storage compartment and the second air outlet at the top of the storage compartment effectively utilizes vertical space, resulting in a more compact overall design and saving floor space. Hot air rises, and placing the second air outlet at the top leverages natural convection to enhance airflow throughout the storage compartment, improving drying performance. Placing the second air outlet at the top also facilitates maintenance and repair, as it is easier to access and operate, reducing downtime and maintenance costs.

[0041] In one possible implementation, the cleaning base station includes a door assembly that can be opened and closed on the front end face of the base station body;

[0042] The rag storage member is formed inside the door assembly and within the door assembly, or the rag storage member is formed inside the door assembly and within the base station body, and the rag storage member is located in the upper space of the cleaning tank along the height direction of the base station body.

[0043] By utilizing the space above the cleaning tank to house the cloth storage compartment, the internal space layout of the base station can be optimized, avoiding wasted space and making the overall design more compact. Located inside the door assembly and at a high position, the cloth storage compartment allows users to easily access the cloths by opening the door assembly, reducing operational complexity. Because the storage compartment is situated in the upper space of the cleaning tank, the cloths can be stored without contact with cleaning fluid or other contaminants, maintaining their cleanliness and dryness. After washing, the cloths can be directly stored in the upper space, reducing unnecessary movement and operational steps and improving overall operational efficiency. By separating the cloth storage compartment from the cleaning tank while maintaining a close connection, the risk of cross-contamination during cleaning and storage is reduced. This design simplifies system maintenance, allowing users to easily clean and inspect the system, reducing maintenance costs and complexity.

[0044] In one possible implementation, the base station body is provided with a detection element; wherein,

[0045] The detection element is used to detect whether the door assembly is closed to the base station body, and the door assembly is used to provide drying conditions for the drying assembly when it is closed to the base station body;

[0046] The detection element is also used to detect whether a foreign object enters the base station body. When a foreign object enters the base station body, the drying component does not perform the drying action or stops the drying action.

[0047] By detecting whether the door assembly is closed, the system ensures that the drying assembly is only activated when the door assembly is fully closed. This prevents accidental activation of the drying assembly due to misoperation or an incompletely closed door, thus avoiding potential safety hazards. And / or, the detection element can identify whether a foreign object has entered the base station body. When a foreign object (such as an animal, finger, tool, or other item) is detected, the system will stop or not perform the drying operation. This effectively prevents burns or pinching injuries from foreign objects, improving the user's safety experience.

[0048] In one possible implementation, the second air duct extends from the side of the base station body to the top of the base station body.

[0049] By extending the second air duct from the side of the base station body to the top of the base station body, the difficulty of setting up the second air duct can be reduced, thus reducing the assembly difficulty, since there are relatively few components on the side wall of the base station body.

[0050] In one possible implementation, the portion of the second air duct located at the top of the base station body includes a plurality of sub-air ducts arranged side by side along the first direction;

[0051] Each of the sub-air ducts corresponds to a different cloth storage compartment distributed in the first direction, or each of the sub-air ducts corresponds to a different position of the cloth storage compartment in the first direction;

[0052] Each of the sub-ducts includes a second air outlet.

[0053] This configuration allows for individual air ducts to supply air to the cloth storage compartments located at different positions. This ensures that the airflow is evenly distributed across the compartments in the first direction, resulting in consistent drying performance and preventing localized incomplete drying. Furthermore, using individual air ducts to supply air to the compartments reduces eddies and turbulence, providing a more stable and controllable airflow path. This improves the stability and efficiency of the drying process and also reduces noise.

[0054] In one possible implementation, the door assembly has an internal air guide channel, and the second air outlet is connected to the air guide channel;

[0055] The air guide channel is connected to the cloth storage compartment;

[0056] When the cloth assembly is installed in the cloth storage compartment, there is a gap between it and the inner wall of the cloth storage compartment to at least partially form the air guide channel.

[0057] By incorporating airflow channels within the door assembly, airflow is guided to directly contact the cloth assembly, more effectively removing moisture and accelerating the drying process. Airflow through gaps covers the surface of the cloth assembly, improving drying efficiency. The airflow channel design ensures even distribution of airflow across the cloth assembly surface, reducing the risk of localized overheating or uneven drying and ensuring all parts are thoroughly dried. The gap between the cloth assembly and the inner wall of the airflow channel allows airflow to circulate around the cloth assembly, preventing airflow blockage and improving overall airflow efficiency, facilitating faster moisture removal. This design can accommodate cloth assemblies of different sizes and shapes; by adjusting the airflow channels and gap design, it can flexibly adapt to different drying needs.

[0058] In one possible implementation, there are multiple second air outlets, and at least a portion of the multiple second air outlets are spaced apart along a first direction.

[0059] The air guide channel is provided with a plurality of air guide plates extending along the height direction of the base station body, and the plurality of air guide plates are spaced apart along the first direction.

[0060] This design ensures even airflow distribution within the air guide channel, preventing airflow concentration in any one area and achieving a more uniform drying effect. The air guide plate helps guide and control the direction and speed of the airflow, ensuring effective coverage of all parts of the cloth assembly and improving drying efficiency. The air guide plate reduces eddies and turbulence in the airflow, providing a more stable and controllable airflow path, thereby improving the stability and efficiency of the drying process. By optimizing the airflow path and distribution, the airflow can more effectively contact the surface of the cloth assembly, accelerating moisture evaporation and removal, and shortening drying time.

[0061] In one possible implementation, a plurality of second air outlets are arranged circumferentially around the cloth storage unit, and each second air outlet is connected to the air guide channel.

[0062] This design ensures that each cloth storage compartment receives heat and airflow from different directions, resulting in a more uniform drying effect and avoiding incomplete drying in certain areas. Energy consumption can be optimized by enabling or disabling some of the secondary air outlets as needed, reducing unnecessary energy waste and improving overall energy efficiency.

[0063] In one possible implementation, the air guide channel is provided with a plurality of assembly parts, which are used to support the cloth assembly;

[0064] The assembly part includes a rotating mechanism, which drives the wiping cloth assembly to rotate about the central axis of the assembly part.

[0065] This design provides stable support for the cloth assembly, reducing its movement during drying and lowering drying noise. It also allows the cloth assembly to be rotated during drying, improving drying uniformity and speed.

[0066] In one possible implementation, the assembly includes a telescopic mechanism for moving the cloth assembly in a direction perpendicular to the cloth storage component.

[0067] This setup allows for adjustment of the cloth assembly's position according to different needs, improving drying efficiency and saving energy.

[0068] In one possible implementation, the drying assembly further includes a heating assembly;

[0069] The heating element is disposed in the air guide channel of the cloth storage component, and the heating element is used to heat the airflow flowing through the air guide channel.

[0070] By placing the heating element directly within the air duct, the cloth assembly located within the duct and the airflow passing through it can be directly heated, increasing the evaporation rate of moisture and thus improving drying efficiency. Placing the heating element within the air duct allows for a more uniform temperature distribution, ensuring that the cloth assemblies in different locations receive consistent heating, avoiding localized overheating or uneven drying. This layout allows for more precise temperature control within the air duct, enabling flexible adjustments to heating intensity and time based on the material and drying requirements of different cloth assemblies, improving system adaptability. Direct heating within the air duct reduces heat loss during transfer, improving energy efficiency and lowering overall energy consumption. Integrating the heating element within the air duct simplifies the design of the air duct and airflow path, reducing system complexity and potential points of failure.

[0071] In one possible implementation, the drying assembly further includes a heating assembly;

[0072] The heating element is located between the drying fan and the first air outlet, and / or the heating element is located between the fan and the second air outlet, and the air blown out by the drying fan enters the cleaning tank or the cloth storage container after passing through the heating element.

[0073] By placing heating elements between the drying fan and the first air outlet, and between the drying fan and the second air outlet, the airflow is heated before reaching the first and second air outlets. This increases the temperature of the air exiting from the first and second air outlets, allowing the hot air to more effectively evaporate moisture from the surface of the cloth components, thus accelerating the drying process. This layout ensures that the airflow is uniformly heated before entering the cloth storage compartment and the washing tank, providing a stable and consistent heat distribution and ensuring that the cloth components in the washing tank and all cloth storage compartments receive uniform heating. Because the heating elements directly heat the flowing airflow, the system can respond more quickly to temperature regulation needs, enabling rapid control and adjustment of the drying temperature, improving the system's flexibility and responsiveness. Placing the heating elements between the drying fan and the first air outlet, and between the drying fan and the second air outlet, effectively isolates the heating elements from the cloth components, reducing the risk of direct contact and enhancing system safety.

[0074] In one possible implementation, the drying assembly further includes an air duct conversion structure, which includes a second position and a third position;

[0075] When the air duct conversion structure is in the second position, the air outlet of the drying fan is connected to the first air duct but not to the second air duct;

[0076] When the air duct conversion structure is in the third position, the air outlet of the drying fan is connected to the second air duct but not to the first air duct.

[0077] This setup allows a single drying fan to supply air to two separate air ducts, drying the cloth assemblies located in different positions. This simplifies the structure of the drying components and reduces costs. Furthermore, compared to one drying fan per air duct, this reduces the space occupied by the drying components, optimizing the space within the base station and facilitating the miniaturization of cleaning base stations. By selecting appropriate air ducts, the air duct conversion structure can optimize airflow paths, thereby improving drying efficiency. This allows for more efficient energy utilization, reduced drying time, and increased overall work efficiency.

[0078] In one possible implementation, the number of drying fans is two, namely a first fan and a second fan; wherein...

[0079] The first fan is connected to the first air duct, and the first fan sends air into the cleaning tank through the first air duct;

[0080] The second fan is connected to the second air duct, and the second fan delivers air to the cloth storage unit through the second air duct.

[0081] This configuration allows for the simultaneous drying of cloth assemblies in two locations using two fans, significantly reducing overall drying time and improving efficiency. Drying assemblies in different locations separately reduces the risk of cross-contamination, especially when handling cloth assemblies of different types or uses. Each fan focuses on one location, ensuring concentrated and even airflow distribution, improving drying effectiveness and ensuring each assembly is thoroughly dried. This setup allows for greater flexibility, enabling adjustments and optimization of each fan's operation as needed to accommodate different cloth assemblies and drying requirements. If one fan fails, the other can continue operating, improving system reliability and availability and reducing downtime.

[0082] In one possible implementation, the drying assembly further includes a third air duct, and the second fan is connected to the third air duct;

[0083] The base station body includes a dust collection chamber;

[0084] The third air duct includes a third air outlet, which is connected to the dust collection bin. The second fan sends air to the dust collection bin through the third air duct to dry the dust collection bin.

[0085] This setup allows for the simultaneous drying of both the dust collection bin and the cloth storage unit using a second fan, reducing equipment and maintenance costs. Furthermore, a single fan system occupies less space, optimizing space utilization. Using a single fan also reduces noise levels during operation; a single fan is typically quieter than multiple fans operating simultaneously.

[0086] A second aspect of this application provides a cleaning system, including cleaning equipment and a cleaning base station as described in any of the first aspects above.

[0087] The cleaning system in this embodiment of the application, by setting up a cleaning base station in the first aspect, can clean and dry other wiping cloth components that are matched with the cleaning equipment while the cleaning equipment is working. In this way, when the wiping cloth component installed on the cleaning equipment needs to be replaced, a new dried wiping cloth component can be directly replaced, which can reduce the turnover time of the wiping cloth component and make it more ready for the next use, thereby improving the overall work efficiency.

[0109] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0110] To improve the automation level of cleaning equipment and further reduce the workload of users in home cleaning, a cleaning base station is designed to match the cleaning equipment. When the cleaning equipment completes part of the cleaning work and needs to clean the cloth assembly, it can return to the cleaning base station, where the cloth assembly on the cleaning equipment is washed and dried, and then the cleaning equipment can continue to carry out cleaning work.

[0111] However, cleaning and drying the cleaning robot's cloth component via a base station usually takes a long time, affecting the cleaning robot's cleaning efficiency.

[0112] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides a cleaning base station and a cleaning system. The cleaning system includes cleaning equipment and a cleaning base station. The cleaning equipment has cleaning components at its bottom, such as a roller brush, side brushes, and a mop assembly, which perform cleaning operations on the area to be cleaned through methods such as vacuuming, mopping, and wet wiping. The cleaning base station provides an automatic charging interface for the cleaning equipment, ensuring the equipment is always ready for use. The cleaning base station can also be equipped with a clean water tank and a wastewater tank, supporting automatic washing, drying, and disinfection of the mop assembly on the cleaning equipment.

[0113] The cloth assembly on the cleaning device in this embodiment is detachable. The cleaning system can include multiple replaceable cloth assemblies, which can be of different types. The cleaning base station can centrally dry the multiple replaceable cloth assemblies. When the cleaning device needs to clean a cloth assembly after completing a part of the cleaning work, a dried cloth assembly can be directly replaced, allowing the cleaning device to quickly resume cleaning work and thus improve cleaning efficiency.

[0114] The clean base station provided in the embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0115] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a clean base station provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 This is an exploded structural diagram of a clean base station provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0116] It should be noted that, for ease of description, in this embodiment, the first direction can be considered as the width direction of the base station body, i.e., the x-direction in the figure. The second direction can be considered as the depth direction of the cleaning base station, i.e., the y-direction in the figure. The height direction of the base station body is the z-direction in the figure.

[0117] This application provides a clean base station 100, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the cleaning base station 100 may include a base station body 10, a cloth storage unit 20, a transport mechanism 51, and a drying assembly 30. The base station body 10 has a docking area 13 at its bottom for docking cleaning equipment. A washing tank 131 is located at the bottom of the docking area 13, and the washing tank 131 is used at least for washing the cloth assembly 200 of the cleaning equipment. The cloth storage unit 20 is disposed on the base station body 10 and may include multiple cloth storage compartments 21 for storing the cloth assembly 200. The transport mechanism 51 is movably connected to the base station body 10 and is used to carry the cloth assembly 200 and transport the cloth assembly 200 between the washing tank 131 and the cloth storage compartments 21. The drying assembly 30 is disposed on the base station body 10 and is used at least for drying the cloth assembly 200 located in the washing tank 131 and on the cloth storage compartments 21.

[0118] For example, when the cleaning equipment finishes cleaning the area to be cleaned and enters the cleaning tank 131 for the last time, the wipe assembly 200 can be dried directly in the cleaning tank 131 after washing. Then, the dried wipe assembly 200 can be placed in the cleaning tank 131 or the wipe storage compartment 21 for the next use. When the cleaning equipment returns to the cleaning base station 100 midway through cleaning the area to be cleaned, the used wipe assembly 200 on the cleaning equipment can be placed in the cleaning tank 131 for washing. After washing, the washed wipe assembly 200 is transported from the cleaning tank 131 to the wipe storage compartment 21 by the transport mechanism 51. Then, the transport mechanism 51 can take the dry and clean wipe assembly 200 from the wipe storage compartment 21 and transport it to the cleaning tank 131 for the cleaning equipment to replace, so that the cleaning equipment can enter the next stage of cleaning work.

[0119] It should be noted that the base station body 10 may include a docking area 13, which can be used at least for docking cleaning equipment. The cleaning tank 131 can usually be set in the docking area 13 and located at the bottom of the docking area 13, so that when the cleaning equipment enters the docking area 13, it can be convenient to clean the wiping assembly 200 or other cleaning components located at the bottom of the cleaning equipment.

[0120] In addition, the cleaning equipment can also be charged in the parking area 13. In this embodiment, the actions performed by the cleaning equipment in the parking area 13 are not further limited.

[0121] It should be noted that, in some embodiments, the area where the cleaning tank 131 is located is the docking area 13. The opening of the docking area 13 is the opening of the cleaning tank 131.

[0122] See also Figure 1As shown, the cleaning tank 131 may include an opening through which cleaning equipment can enter the cleaning tank 131. The cleaning tank 131 is equipped with a cleaning device for cleaning the cloth assembly 200 of the cleaning equipment.

[0123] When the cleaning equipment is in the washing tank 131, the cloth assembly 200 can be detached from the cleaning equipment and installed in the washing tank 131 for cleaning. Alternatively, the cloth assembly 200, which is fixed to the bottom of the cleaning equipment, can also be cleaned directly using the cleaning device.

[0124] In one possible implementation, a cloth receiving unit may also be provided inside the base station body 10. The cloth receiving unit is used to receive the cloth assembly 200 disassembled from the cleaning equipment, as well as to receive the cloth assembly 200 installed on the cleaning equipment.

[0125] In other words, when the cleaning cloth assembly 200 needs to be cleaned, after the cleaning equipment enters the docking area 13 or the cleaning tank 131, the cleaning cloth assembly 200 can be disassembled into the cleaning cloth receiving unit. Then, the cleaning cloth assembly 200 is placed into the cleaning tank 131 through the cleaning cloth receiving unit, or, the cleaning tank 131 is equipped with a pick-up component that can pick up the cleaning cloth assembly 200 from the cleaning cloth receiving unit into the cleaning tank 131.

[0126] When the cleaning equipment needs to replace the clean cloth assembly 200, the transport mechanism 51 can transport the cloth assembly 200 from the cloth storage compartment 21 to the cloth receiving unit. The cleaning equipment can then directly install the new cloth assembly 200 from the cloth receiving unit.

[0127] Alternatively, the cloth receiving unit places the cloth assembly 200 in the cleaning tank 131, or the cleaning tank 131 is equipped with a pick-up component that can pick up the cloth assembly 200 from the cloth receiving unit and transfer it to the cleaning tank 131, where the cleaning equipment installs a new cloth assembly 200. In other words, the cloth receiving unit acts as a transfer unit for the cloth assembly 200.

[0128] In some embodiments, the cloth receiving unit may be located in the docking area 13, for example, the cloth receiving unit is formed in the cleaning tank, which can simplify the structure of the cleaning base station 100 and reduce costs.

[0129] In some other embodiments, the cloth receiving unit can be located in the upper space of the cleaning tank. Through a well-designed transfer system, contact between clean and used cloths can be effectively reduced, lowering the risk of cross-contamination and ensuring effective cleaning.

[0130] The following explanation will take the example of a cloth receiving unit being formed inside a cleaning tank 131, that is, a cleaning tank 131 serving as a cloth receiving unit.

[0131] For example, the opening of the cleaning tank 131 is located on the front face 14 of the base station body 10, that is, the cleaning equipment can enter the cleaning tank 131 from the front of the base station body 10.

[0132] It should be noted that the front surface 14 and rear surface 17 in this embodiment refer to the side facing outwards from the installation space during use, and can also be considered as the side that allows cleaning equipment to enter. For example, when the cleaning base station 100 is embedded, the side that allows the cleaning equipment to enter needs to face outwards so that the cleaning equipment can enter the cleaning base station 100.

[0133] See Figure 1 As shown, the base station body 10 may further include a rear end face 17, side faces, a bottom face 19, and a top face 18. There are two side faces, namely a first side face 15 and a second side face 16. The first side face 15 and the second side face 16 are arranged opposite each other along a first direction, and the rear end face 17 and the front end face 14 are arranged opposite each other along a second direction.

[0134] The first side 15 and the second side 16 are located between the front face 14 and the rear face 17, respectively. The top surface 18 and the ground are arranged opposite each other along the height direction of the base station body 10. The top surface 18 is located on top of the front face 14 and the rear face 17. The bottom surface 19 is located on the bottom surface 19 of the cleaning tank 131, which is the side that is on the ground when in use. The first direction, the second direction and the height direction of the base station body 10 are perpendicular to each other.

[0135] The cleaning base station 100 in this embodiment of the application, by providing a cleaning tank 131 at the bottom of the base station, can conveniently clean the rag assembly 200 of the cleaning equipment corresponding to the cleaning base station 100, avoiding manual cleaning and reducing the burden on users. By integrating the rag storage component 20 into the base station body 10, the rag assembly 200 of the cleaning equipment (e.g., mop assembly, etc.) can be centrally stored, making it convenient to store the rag assembly 200.

[0136] By integrating the drying component 30 into the base station body 10, the cloth assembly 200 can be dried directly in the washing tank 131 or placed on the cloth storage unit 20 for centralized drying without additional manual intervention. This automated design improves ease of use and efficiency.

[0137] Compared to related technologies where the cleaning equipment uses a base station to wash and dry the used cloth assembly 200 before continuing unfinished cleaning tasks, this solution directly replaces the cleaning equipment with a clean and dry cloth assembly 200. This allows the cleaning equipment to quickly continue cleaning operations, reducing the turnaround time of the cloth assembly 200 and enabling it to be used again more quickly, thus improving overall work efficiency. This enhances the cleaning efficiency of the cleaning equipment.

[0138] By setting up the transport mechanism 51, the cleaned cloth assembly 200 in the washing tank 131 can be automatically transported to the cloth storage compartment 21 for storage, ready for future use. Alternatively, the dry and clean cloth assembly 200 located in the cloth storage compartment 21 can be automatically transported to the washing tank 131 for use with cleaning equipment. In some cases, the cloth assembly 200 can be stored, increasing the storage space of the cleaning base station 100. Furthermore, the process of replacing the cloth assembly 200 can be automated, requiring no manual intervention, thus improving system automation and reducing the user's workload.

[0139] In one possible implementation, the base station body 10 includes an active space 11 for the movement of the transport mechanism 51. The active space 11 can cover the cloth receiving unit and all the cloth storage compartments 21. That is, a portion of the active space 11 can be opposite to and located inside the cloth storage unit 20, while another portion can be located on top of the washing tank 131. The transport mechanism 51 can be used to carry the cloth assembly 200 and to transport the cloth assembly 200 between the washing tank 131 (cloth receiving unit) and the cloth storage compartments 21.

[0140] In this embodiment, the transport mechanism 51 can have both picking and placing functions, enabling it to pick up the rag assembly 200 located on the washing tank 131 (rag receiving unit) and the rag storage bin 21, and also to place the rag assembly 200 on the transport mechanism 51 onto the washing tank 131 (rag receiving unit) and the rag storage bin 21. Specifically, the transport mechanism 51 can pick up or place the rag assembly 200 from the top surface 18 of the washing tank 131.

[0141] It should be noted that when the cloth assembly 200 is picked up and placed onto the transport mechanism 51, the side of the cloth assembly 200 used for cleaning (i.e., the side facing the ground during cleaning) can face the washing tank 131 and the cloth storage unit 20. In this way, the cloth assembly 200 taken out from the cloth storage unit 20 can be directly installed in the washing tank 131 and directly assembled onto the cleaning equipment for use without flipping it over, which is convenient for operation and improves replacement efficiency.

[0142] By providing an activity space 11 within the base station body 10, the transport mechanism 51 can have sufficient movement space within the base station body 10, preventing interference between the transport mechanism 51 and other structures of the base station body 10. By connecting the second air outlet 321 to the activity space 11, the cloth assembly 200 located on the transport mechanism 51 within the activity space 11 can be easily dried. For example, the cloth assembly 200 can be dried on the transport mechanism 51 before being stored in the cloth storage compartment 21.

[0143] See also Figure 2 As shown, a transport track 52 for the transport mechanism 51 to travel on is provided on the base station body 10. The track can be fixedly installed on the base station body 10, and the transport track 52 can extend from the position corresponding to the cleaning tank 131 to the top of the base station body 10. The transport mechanism 51 is movably connected to the track, and the transport structure can reciprocate along the transport track 52, thereby realizing the automatic transport of the cloth assembly 200 between the cloth storage compartment 21 and the cleaning tank 131.

[0144] For example, the activity space 11 is provided with transport tracks 52 on both sides of the first direction, and the transport mechanism 51 is movably connected to the transport tracks 52 located on both sides of the activity space 11 at both ends along the first direction.

[0145] By incorporating an activity space 11 within the base station body 10, the overall design becomes more compact and efficient. The dedicated design of the activity space 11 provides specific space for the transport mechanism 51, reducing interference between the transport mechanism 51 and other components and improving operational safety. By providing transport tracks 52 on both sides of the activity space 11, better support and stability are provided, reducing swaying and deviation of the transport mechanism 51 during movement. Guided by the transport tracks 52, the transport mechanism 51 can move along a predetermined path, ensuring that it accurately reaches the designated position and improving operational precision.

[0146] In one possible implementation, the transport track 52 can be a rack and pinion structure, and the transport mechanism can include gears that are connected to the rack and pinion drive.

[0147] This configuration simplifies the structure of the transport track 52 and the transport mechanism 51. The gear and rack system has a relatively simple structure, is easy to design and manufacture, and is also easy to maintain and replace. The meshing of the gears and racks provides a stable transmission method, reducing the possibility of slippage or loss of steps and improving the reliability of the system. The meshing transmission method of gears and racks can achieve high-precision linear motion control, ensuring the accurate positioning of the transport mechanism on the transport track, which is particularly important for applications requiring precise operation.

[0148] Of course, in other embodiments, the transport track can be configured as a synchronous belt, and the transport mechanism can include gears, which are connected to the synchronous belt for transmission. Alternatively, the transport track can be configured as gears, and the transport mechanism can include a synchronous belt, which is connected to the synchronous belt for transmission. Alternatively, the transport track can be a track structure, and the transport mechanism can include rollers. In the embodiments of this application, the specific transmission structure between the transport track 52 and the transport mechanism 51 is not further limited.

[0149] In one possible implementation, the drying assembly 30 may include a drying fan 31, a first air duct 33 (not shown in the figure), and a second air duct 32. The drying fan 31 may be connected to both the first air duct 33 and the second air duct 32.

[0150] The first air duct 33 may include a first air outlet 331, and the second air duct 32 may include a second air outlet 321. The first air outlet 331 is connected to the washing tank 131, and the drying fan 31 sends air into the washing tank 131 through the first air duct 33 to dry the cloth assembly 200 located in the washing tank 131.

[0151] At least a portion of the structure of the second air outlet 321 is disposed opposite to at least a portion of the cloth storage compartment 21. The drying fan 31 delivers air to the cloth storage unit 20 through the second air duct 32 to dry the cloth assembly 200 located on the cloth storage compartment 21.

[0152] It should be noted that at least a portion of the structure of the second air outlet 321 is arranged opposite to at least a portion of the cloth storage compartment 21. This can include various corresponding situations, such as a portion of the second air outlet 321 being arranged opposite to a portion of the cloth storage compartment 21, all of the second air outlets 321 being arranged opposite to a portion of the cloth storage compartment 21, a portion of the second air outlets 321 being arranged opposite to all of the cloth storage compartments 21, and all of the second air outlets 321 being arranged opposite to all of the cloth storage compartments 21.

[0153] For example, in the z-direction, the second air outlet 321 is located directly above the cloth storage unit 20 and at the center of the cloth storage unit 20 (the center position in the x-direction). This allows the second air outlet 321 to face the cloth storage unit 20, so that the entire structure of the second air outlet 321 is arranged opposite to at least a portion of the cloth storage compartment 21 (for example, the area covered by the cloth storage compartment 21 in the x-direction is larger than the area covered by the second air outlet 321).

[0154] In some other embodiments, the second air outlet 321 may be offset from the center of the cloth storage member 20 so that the second air outlet 321 may be positioned opposite to a portion of the cloth storage compartment 21.

[0155] In some embodiments, the coverage area of ​​the second air outlet 321 in the x direction may also be greater than the coverage area of ​​the second air outlet 321 in the x direction, so that a portion of the second air outlet 321 can be arranged opposite to the entire cloth storage compartment 21.

[0156] By configuring the drying assembly 30 as a combination of a drying fan 31, a first air duct 33, and a second air duct 32, air can be effectively introduced into the washing tank 131 and the cloth storage container 20. This design ensures that the airflow acts directly on the cloth assembly 200 within the washing tank 131 and the cloth storage container 21, thereby improving drying efficiency. Because the airflow acts directly on the area to be dried, unnecessary airflow loss is reduced, and the directional airflow can more effectively remove moisture from the surface of the cloth assembly 200, shortening the drying time.

[0157] By connecting the first air outlet 331 to the washing tank 131 and setting at least a portion of the structure of the second air outlet 321 opposite to at least a portion of the cloth storage compartment 21, the first air outlet 331 and the second air outlet 321 can be directly aligned with the washing tank 131 and the cloth storage compartment 21, which can better control the direction and intensity of the airflow, improve the drying effect, and ensure that the cloth assembly 200 reaches the ideal drying state in a shorter time.

[0158] In addition, this design allows the position and angle of the air outlet to be adjusted according to the needs of different cloth components 200 to achieve the best drying effect, enhancing the flexibility and adaptability of the system.

[0159] In one possible implementation, the second air outlet 321 of the second air duct 32 of the drying assembly 30 can be connected to the activity space 11. By connecting the second air outlet 321 to the activity space 11, the cloth assembly 200 located on the transport mechanism 51 within the activity space 11 can be conveniently dried.

[0160] For example, the cloth assembly 200 located on the transport mechanism 51 within the activity space 11 can be dried directly through the second air outlet 321, and then the dried cloth assembly 200 can be transported to a specific location for storage. Since the activity space 11 is used for the movement of the transport mechanism 51, there are no other components obstructing it, and drying can be carried out at the location closest to the second air outlet 321, thereby improving drying efficiency.

[0161] In one possible implementation, the cleaning base station 100 may also include a control device (not shown in the figure), wherein the control device is connected to both the transport mechanism 51 and the drying assembly 30, for example, the control device is electrically or communicatively connected to both the transport mechanism 51 and the drying assembly 30.

[0162] In use, the control device can be used to control the transport mechanism 51 to transport the cleaned cloth assembly 200 to the first position, and to control the drying assembly 30 to dry the cloth assembly 200 transported to the first position. Alternatively, the control device can be used to control the drying assembly 30 to dry the cleaned cloth assembly 200 in the cleaning tank 131, and to control the transport mechanism 51 to transport the dried cloth assembly 200 to the cloth storage compartment 21.

[0163] The movement of the transport mechanism 51 and the working status of the drying assembly 30 can be automatically controlled by the control device. This reduces manual intervention and improves the efficiency and consistency of the cleaning process. The control device also allows for different transport and drying processes for different types of cloth assemblies 200, increasing the system's flexibility. Furthermore, the control device ensures that the transport mechanism 51 accurately delivers the cloth assemblies 200 to the designated locations.

[0164] Automated control reduces potential errors and safety hazards that may occur during manual operation. The control device can optimize the path and speed of the transport mechanism 51, thereby speeding up the transport process of the cloth assembly 200 and improving overall cleaning efficiency.

[0165] In some embodiments, the first position can be the position within the activity space 11 closest to the second air outlet 321, where the cloth assembly 200 is dried on the transport mechanism 51. That is, the transport mechanism 51 carries the cloth assembly 200 to the position within the activity space 11 closest to the second air outlet 321, and then the cloth assembly 200 is dried directly on the transport mechanism 51.

[0166] With this setup, the cloth assembly 200 can be dried directly on the transport mechanism 51. Since the first position is located within the activity space 11 and is not obstructed by other cloth assemblies 200, the airflow circulation effect can be improved, thus increasing the drying efficiency.

[0167] By setting the first position as close as possible to the second air outlet 321, the strongest airflow and the highest temperature can be received, which helps to evaporate moisture more quickly, thereby improving drying efficiency. It also ensures that all parts of the cloth assembly 200 are fully dried, reducing the risk of localized dampness or uneven drying.

[0168] Because the drying process is faster, the energy consumption required is correspondingly reduced. This not only lowers operating costs but is also more environmentally friendly. A faster drying process means a shorter overall cleaning and maintenance cycle, improving equipment availability and productivity. Quick and thorough drying effectively reduces the risk of mold and bacteria growth in damp environments, thus improving equipment hygiene and safety.

[0169] In some other embodiments, the first position can be the location of the cloth storage compartment 21 on the cloth storage component 20 that is closest to the second air outlet 321.

[0170] It should be noted that the drying positions here can also store the cloth assembly 200, meaning that the cloth storage compartment 21 at the first position is empty.

[0171] This configuration provides stable support for the cloth assembly 200 via the cloth storage compartment 21, thereby improving the stability of the cloth assembly 200 on the base station body 10 and reducing drying noise. By setting the first position as close as possible to the second air outlet 321, it can receive the strongest airflow and the highest temperature, which helps to evaporate moisture more quickly, thereby improving drying efficiency. It also ensures that all parts of the cloth assembly 200 are fully dried, reducing the risk of localized dampness or uneven drying.

[0172] Of course, in some other embodiments, the first position may also be the position of the initial cloth storage compartment 21 on the cloth storage component 20 that corresponds to the cloth assembly 200.

[0173] It should be noted that "the location of the initial cloth storage compartment 21" refers to the initial storage location of the cloth assembly 200, or the location of the specific cloth storage compartment 21 corresponding to the cloth assembly 200. This can be understood as follows: a cloth assembly 200 has a specific storage location; it is taken from this specific storage location when needed, and returned to this specific storage location after use.

[0174] With this setup, after use, the cloth components 200 are transported back to their initial position for drying, ensuring they are always in usable condition. This reduces preparation time and improves overall operational efficiency. Furthermore, different cloth components 200 can be assigned to specific cloth storage compartments 21, reducing the risk of confusion and misplacement when different types of cloth components 200 are located in different positions, thereby lowering the possibility of operational errors and reducing cross-contamination between different cloth components 200.

[0175] When a specific cloth assembly 200 is needed, it can be quickly located and retrieved, reducing search time and improving response speed. This setup facilitates integration with automation systems, enabling automatic allocation, transportation, and return of the cloth assembly 200, further improving operational standardization and consistency.

[0176] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 3As shown, the cloth storage unit 20 can be disposed on the front end face 14 of the base station body 10. In the height direction (z direction) of the base station body 10, the cloth storage unit 20 is located at the top of the cleaning tank 131, and at least part of the second air outlet 321 is located at the top of the cloth storage unit 20.

[0177] In some embodiments, the second air outlets 321 may all be located at the top of the cloth storage member 20. Of course, in other embodiments, there may be multiple second air outlets 321, which may surround the outer periphery of the cloth storage member 20 to improve the uniformity of airflow in all directions. In this application embodiment, the location of the second air outlets 321 is not further limited.

[0178] By positioning at least a portion of the second air outlet 321 at the top of the cloth storage unit 20, gravity can be used to help evaporated water drain naturally downwards, preventing water accumulation within the cloth storage unit 20 and improving drying efficiency. Positioning the cloth storage unit 20 at the top of the washing tank 131 and the second air outlet 321 at the top of the cloth storage unit 20 effectively utilizes vertical space, resulting in a more compact overall design of the base station and saving floor space.

[0179] Hot air has the characteristic of rising; placing the second air outlet 321 at the top utilizes natural convection to enhance the circulation of hot air throughout the entire cloth storage unit 20, thereby improving the drying effect. Placing the second air outlet 321 at the top also facilitates maintenance and repair, as it is easier to access and operate, reducing downtime and maintenance costs.

[0180] In one possible implementation, the clean base station 100 may include a door assembly 40, which can be opened and closed on the front end face 14 of the base station body 10.

[0181] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the cleaning cloth storage component 20 can be formed inside and on the door assembly 40. That is, the cleaning cloth storage component 20 and the door assembly 40 are an integral structure; when the door assembly 40 is opened, the cleaning cloth storage component 20 also opens to the base station body 10 along with the door assembly 40. By directly forming the cleaning cloth storage component 20 on the door assembly 40, the door assembly 40 can become a separate, more integrated unit. This design reduces the complexity of connections between components and simplifies the assembly and disassembly process.

[0182] If the rag storage unit 20 requires maintenance or cleaning, the user only needs to handle the door assembly 40 without touching other parts of the base station body 10. This improves user convenience and facilitates modular production and maintenance. Furthermore, the door assembly 40 can be replaced or upgraded as an independent module, enhancing product flexibility.

[0183] For example, the door assembly 40 may include an outer wall 42 and an inner wall 43. The inner wall 43 forms a cloth storage unit 20, and the inner wall 43 of the door assembly 40 is provided with a plurality of cloth storage compartments 21, which may be open structures. The side of the outer wall 42 opposite to the inner wall 43 forms the outer wall 42 of the base station body 10.

[0184] In other embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the rag storage unit 20 is formed inside the door assembly 40 and on the base station body 10. The rag storage unit 20 is located in the upper space of the cleaning tank 131 along the height direction of the base station body 10.

[0185] It should be noted that the cloth storage unit 20 is located within the parking area 13 and is positioned opposite the cleaning tank 131. In order to provide sufficient space for the cloth storage compartment 21, the dust collection compartment 12 and water tank of the cleaning base station 100 can be moved upwards, thereby providing space for the cloth storage compartment 21.

[0186] By utilizing the space above the cleaning tank 131 to house the cloth storage unit 20, the internal space layout of the base station body 10 can be optimized, avoiding wasted space and making the overall design more compact. The cloth storage unit 20 is located inside the door assembly 40 and at a high position, allowing users to easily access the cloth assembly 200 by opening the door assembly 40, reducing operational complexity.

[0187] Because the cloth storage unit 20 is located in the upper space of the washing tank 131, the cloth assembly 200 can be stored without contact with cleaning fluid or other contaminants, keeping it clean and dry. The cloth assembly 200 can be stored directly in the upper space after washing, reducing unnecessary movement and handling steps and improving overall operational efficiency.

[0188] By separating the cloth storage unit 20 from the washing tank 131 while maintaining a close connection, the risk of cross-contamination of the cloth assembly 200 during washing and storage is reduced. This design simplifies system maintenance, allowing users to easily perform cleaning and inspection, and reducing maintenance costs and complexity.

[0189] Of course, in some embodiments, the rag storage unit 20 may be positioned opposite the door assembly 40 and a base station body 10 may be formed thereon. That is, when the door assembly 40 is opened, the rag storage unit 20 may be exposed. In the embodiments of this application, the placement of the rag storage unit 20 is not further limited.

[0190] It should be noted that, Figure 4 and Figure 5The embodiments described above are identical in structure, position, connection relationship and principle, except for the different setting position of the cloth storage component 20.

[0191] In one possible implementation, the base station body 10 may be equipped with a detection element (not shown in the figure). This detection element detects whether the door assembly 40 is closed within the base station body 10. When the door assembly 40 is closed within the base station body 10, it provides drying conditions for the drying assembly 30. The detection element also detects whether foreign objects enter the base station body 10. If foreign objects enter the base station body 10, the drying assembly 30 either does not perform the drying action or stops the drying action.

[0192] For example, the detection element can be set at the opening of the docking area 13 of the base station body 10, or it can be set at the door assembly 40. In this embodiment, the setting position of the detection element is not further limited.

[0193] By detecting whether the door assembly 40 is closed, the system ensures that the drying assembly 30 is only activated when the door assembly 40 is fully closed. This prevents the drying assembly 30 from being accidentally activated due to misoperation or the door not being fully closed, thus avoiding potential safety hazards.

[0194] The detection element can identify whether a foreign object has entered the base station body 10. When a foreign object (such as an animal, finger, tool, or other item) is detected, the system will stop or not perform the drying action. This can effectively prevent burns or pinching injuries caused by foreign objects, improving the user's safety experience.

[0195] In this embodiment, the distribution of the rag storage compartments 21 can be an array, a linear distribution, or an irregular distribution. In this embodiment, the number and arrangement of the rag storage compartments 21 are not limited; they can be determined based on the volume and requirements of the base station body 10.

[0196] For example, Figure 4 The cloth storage compartments 21 can be distributed in an array, with multiple cloth storage compartments 21 arranged in two columns in the x-direction and three rows in the z-direction. Of course, other distribution methods can also be used in other embodiments.

[0197] For example, there may be only one or three rows of mop storage compartments 21 in the x-direction. In the z-direction, there may be one or two rows of mop storage compartments 21. For instance, in the case of a flat mop, the robot vacuum cleaner connects to only one large, semi-circular mop assembly 200. Therefore, the corresponding mop storage compartments 21 also have only one row in the x-direction. Multiple rows can be arranged in the z-direction.

[0198] In this embodiment, the arrangement of the cloth storage compartments 21 in the x and y directions is not further limited, as long as it corresponds to the cloth assembly 200 on the cleaning device. That is, if the cleaning device is provided with two cloth assemblies 200 arranged along the first direction, then two rows of cloth storage compartments 21 can be arranged in the x direction, which can improve replacement efficiency. Of course, other arrangements are also possible.

[0199] See also Figure 4 As shown, the base station body 10 may include a dust collection chamber 12. A door assembly 40 is located on the outside of the dust collection chamber 12. The dust collection chamber 12 can be directly accessed by opening the door assembly 40. For example, the dust collection chamber 12 can be a dust collection box or a dust collection bag. Opening the door assembly 40 allows for the replacement of the dust collection bag or the disposal of waste from the dust collection box.

[0200] This configuration allows the door assembly 40 to function as both a component for holding the cloth storage compartment 21 and a cover for opening the base station body 10 when handling the garbage in the dust collection compartment 12. In other words, one component can perform two functions, which optimizes the internal space layout of the base station body 10 and makes the cleaning base station 100 more compact.

[0201] The reduced number of components simplifies the overall structure of the cleaning base station 100, potentially lowering material and assembly costs. Furthermore, the simplified design reduces the need for molds and machining processes, further saving costs. Users can access the drying unit 30 and dust collection box simply by operating a door assembly 40 during cleaning and maintenance, enhancing user experience and ease of operation.

[0202] It should be noted that in some embodiments, the dust collection bin 12 may not be provided on the base station body 10, or the dust collection bin 12 may be provided in other locations. In this embodiment, the presence or absence of the dust collection bin 12 and its location are not further limited.

[0203] The second air duct 32 of the drying assembly 30 will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0204] like Figure 6 As shown, the drying fan 31 of the drying assembly 30 is located on the rear side of the base station body 10, close to the rear end face 17 of the base station body 10, which reduces the difficulty of installing the drying fan 31. The second air duct 32 can extend from the side of the base station body 10 (which can be the first side 15 or the second side 16) to the top of the base station body 10.

[0205] By extending the second air duct 32 from the side of the base station body 10 to the top of the base station body 10, the difficulty of setting up the second air duct 32 can be reduced, and thus the assembly difficulty can be reduced, since there are relatively few components on the side wall of the base station body 10.

[0206] Of course, in other embodiments, the second air duct 32 may also extend from the rear end face 17 of the base station body 10 to the top of the base station body 10. Naturally, the length of the second air duct 32 may be longer in this case. In this embodiment, the location of the second air duct 32 is not further limited.

[0207] In some embodiments, the drying fan 31 can be positioned in other locations, such as at the top of the activity space 11 of the transport mechanism 51, so that it can directly blow air into the activity space 11. In the embodiments of this application, the location of the drying fan 31 is not further limited.

[0208] Furthermore, since the first air duct 33 is connected to the washing tank 131, the first air duct 33 can be located close to the drying fan 31. For example, a portion of the air outlet of the drying fan 31 can be directly used as the first air duct 33 to supply air towards the washing tank 131. Alternatively, the first air duct 33 can be extended to a position close to the washing tank 131 via a pipeline. In this embodiment, the location of the first air duct 33 is not further limited.

[0209] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown in this embodiment, multiple cloth storage compartments 21 are laid flat on the side of the cloth storage unit 20 facing the interior of the base station body 10. Some of the cloth storage compartments 21 are arranged side by side along the first direction (x direction).

[0210] In the embodiments of this application, such as Figure 7 As shown, a portion of the second air duct 32 located at the top of the base station body 10 extends along a first direction (x-direction), and this portion of the second air duct 32 at the top of the base station body 10 includes multiple sub-air ducts 322 arranged side-by-side along the first direction (x-direction). Each sub-air duct 322 corresponds to a cloth storage compartment 21 arranged side-by-side along the first direction (x-direction), and each sub-air duct 322 includes a second air outlet 321. For example, each sub-air duct 322 includes multiple second air outlets 321 spaced apart along the x-direction, which can disperse the airflow and improve the uniformity of airflow.

[0211] Of course, in other embodiments, only one row of cloth storage compartments 21 is included in the x direction, and each sub-air duct 322 corresponds to a different position of the cloth storage compartment 21 in the x direction.

[0212] This configuration allows for the distribution of airflow evenly to the cloth storage compartments 21 located at different positions along the first direction (x-direction), ensuring consistent drying across all compartments and preventing localized incomplete drying. Furthermore, this separate airflow reduces eddies and turbulence, providing a more stable and controllable airflow path, thus improving the stability and efficiency of the drying process and reducing noise.

[0213] like Figure 8 As shown, the door assembly 40 has an internal air guide channel 41, and the second air outlet 321 communicates with the air guide channel 41. For example, the air guide channel 41 has multiple openings communicating with the second air outlet 321. These multiple openings can be spaced apart along the x-direction. The air guide channel 41 communicates with the cloth storage compartment 21. When the cloth assembly 200 is installed in the cloth storage compartment 21, there is a gap between it and the inner wall 43 of the cloth storage compartment 21 to at least partially form the air guide channel 41.

[0214] For example, the door assembly 40 includes an outer wall 42 and an inner wall 43, the inner wall 43 forming a cloth storage unit 20, and an air guide channel 41 forming between the outer wall 42 and the inner wall 43. When the cloth assembly 200 is disposed in the storage compartment, there is a gap between the cloth assembly 200 and the outer wall 42 of the door assembly 40 to allow airflow within the air guide channel 41.

[0215] By incorporating an air guide channel 41 within the cloth storage unit 20, airflow can be directed to directly contact the cloth assembly 200, more effectively removing moisture and accelerating the drying process. The airflow, passing through gaps, covers the surface of the cloth assembly 200, improving drying efficiency. The air guide channel 41 design ensures even airflow distribution across the surface of the cloth assembly 200, reducing the risk of localized overheating or uneven drying and ensuring all parts are thoroughly dried.

[0216] The gap design between the cloth assembly 200 and the inner wall 43 of the air guide channel 41 allows airflow to circulate around the cloth assembly 200, avoiding airflow blockage, improving overall airflow efficiency, and helping to remove moisture more quickly. This design can accommodate cloth assemblies 200 of different sizes and shapes, and by adjusting the air guide channel 41 and the gap design, it can flexibly adapt to different drying needs.

[0217] See also Figure 8As shown, the air duct 41 may be provided with multiple air guide plates 44 extending along the height direction of the base station body 10, and the multiple air guide plates 44 are spaced apart along the first direction. For example, the multiple air guide plates 44 can be fixedly connected to the outer wall 42 of the door assembly 40. This can reduce the processing difficulty.

[0218] This design ensures that the airflow is evenly distributed within the air guide channel 41, preventing airflow from concentrating in one area and thus achieving a more uniform drying effect. The air guide plate 44 helps guide and control the direction and speed of the airflow, ensuring that the airflow can effectively cover all parts of the cloth assembly 200 and improve drying efficiency.

[0219] The air guide plate 44 can reduce eddies and turbulence in the airflow, providing a more stable and controllable airflow path, thereby improving the stability and efficiency of the drying process. By optimizing the airflow path and distribution, the airflow can more effectively contact the surface of the cloth assembly 200, accelerating the evaporation and removal of moisture and shortening the drying time.

[0220] The above embodiments describe an example where the second air outlet 321 is located on one side of the cloth storage member 20. Of course, in other embodiments, multiple second air outlets 321 can be arranged circumferentially around the cloth storage member 20, and each second air outlet 321 is connected to the air guide channel 41. In this application embodiment, the location of the second air outlet 321 is not further limited.

[0221] This configuration ensures that each cloth storage compartment 21 receives heat and airflow from different directions, resulting in a more uniform drying effect and avoiding incomplete drying in certain areas. Energy consumption can be optimized, unnecessary energy waste reduced, and overall energy efficiency improved by enabling or disabling some of the second air outlets 321 as needed.

[0222] See also Figure 8 As shown, multiple assembly parts 411 can also be provided in the air guide channel 41, which are used to support the wiping cloth assembly 200.

[0223] For example, the assembly part 411 may include a rotating mechanism for driving the cloth assembly 200 to rotate about the central axis of the assembly part 411. For example, the assembly part 411 may be fixed to the side of the outer wall 42 of the door assembly 40 facing the inner wall 43.

[0224] This design provides stable support for the cloth assembly 200, reducing its shaking during the drying process and lowering drying noise. Furthermore, rotating the cloth assembly 200 during drying improves drying uniformity and speed.

[0225] In one possible implementation, the assembly 411 may include a telescopic mechanism for moving the cloth assembly 200 along a direction perpendicular to the cloth storage member 20. In this embodiment, the telescopic mechanism is used to move the cloth assembly 200 along the y-direction.

[0226] For example, when the cloth assembly 200 is thick, the telescopic mechanism can move the cloth assembly 200 away from the inner wall 43 of the air guide channel 41, so that an air guide channel 41 can be formed between the cloth assembly 200 and the inner wall 43 of the air guide channel 41, ensuring airflow. This configuration allows the position of the cloth assembly 200 to be adjusted according to different needs, improving drying efficiency and saving energy.

[0227] For example, the assembly part 411 may include a metal part (not shown in the figure), and the wiping cloth assembly 200 is provided with a magnetic part (not shown in the figure). When the wiping cloth assembly 200 is installed in the assembly part 411, there is an attraction between the metal part and the magnetic part.

[0228] For example, when the cloth assembly 200 is placed in the cloth storage compartment 21, the attraction between the metal and magnetic parts can be greater than the resistance (including friction, clamping force, or attraction force) of the transport mechanism 51 on the cloth assembly 200.

[0229] This design allows for simple and quick installation and removal of the cloth assembly 200 via magnetic connection, eliminating the need for additional tools or complex fastening devices and improving operational efficiency. Since there are no mechanical clips or bolts, the magnetic connection reduces physical wear between the cloth assembly 200 and the mounting section 411, extending the assembly's lifespan.

[0230] The magnetic attraction provides sufficient holding force to ensure the stability of the cloth assembly 200 within the air duct 41, preventing it from shifting or falling off during the drying process. The magnetic connection simplifies the design of the assembly 411, reducing the number and complexity of mechanical parts, thereby lowering manufacturing costs and maintenance requirements.

[0231] In one possible implementation, the drying assembly 30 may further include a heating assembly (not shown in the figure). For example, the heating assembly may be disposed within the air duct 41 of the cloth storage member 20, and the heating assembly is used to heat the airflow flowing through the air duct 41.

[0232] By directly placing the heating element within the air guide channel 41, the cloth assembly 200 located within the air guide channel 41 and the airflow passing through that area can be directly heated, increasing the evaporation rate of moisture and thus improving drying efficiency. Placing the heating element within the air guide channel 41 also allows for a more uniform temperature distribution, ensuring that the cloth assembly 200 in different locations receives consistent heating, avoiding problems such as localized overheating or uneven drying.

[0233] This layout allows for more precise temperature control within the air duct 41, enabling flexible adjustment of heating intensity and time based on the material and drying requirements of different cloth components 200, thus improving system adaptability. Direct heating within the air duct 41 reduces heat loss during transfer, improving energy efficiency and lowering overall energy consumption. Integrating the heating element within the air duct 41 simplifies the design of the duct and airflow path, reducing system complexity and potential points of failure.

[0234] Of course, in other embodiments, the heating element may also be located between the drying fan 31 and the first air outlet 331, and / or, the heating element may be located between the fan and the second air outlet 321, with the air blown out by the drying fan 31 entering the cleaning tank 131 or the cloth storage unit 20 after passing through the heating element. For example, the heating element may be located in the first air duct 33 or the second air duct 32, or the heating element may be located at the air outlet of the drying fan 31. In the embodiments of this application, the location of the heating element is not further limited, as long as it allows the airflow blown out from the first air outlet 331 and the second air outlet 321 to be heated airflow.

[0235] By setting a heating element between the drying fan 31 and the first air outlet 331 and the drying fan 31 and the second air outlet 321, the airflow can be heated before reaching the first air outlet 331 and the second air outlet 321, thereby increasing the temperature of the air blown out from the first air outlet 331 and the second air outlet 321. The hot air can more effectively evaporate the moisture on the surface of the cloth assembly 200, thereby accelerating the drying process.

[0236] This layout ensures that the airflow is uniformly heated before entering the cloth storage unit 20 and the washing tank 131, providing a stable and consistent heat distribution. This ensures that the cloth assemblies 200 located in the washing tank 131 and all cloth storage compartments 21 receive uniform heating. Because the heating element directly heats the flowing airflow, the system can respond more quickly to temperature adjustment needs, enabling rapid control and adjustment of the drying temperature, thus improving system flexibility and responsiveness. Positioning the heating element between the drying fan 31 and the first air outlet 331, as well as between the drying fan 31 and the second air outlet 321, effectively isolates the heating element from the cloth assemblies 200, reducing the risk of direct contact and enhancing system safety.

[0237] In this embodiment, the heating components include, but are not limited to, electric heating wire heaters, ceramic heaters, PTC heaters (positive temperature coefficient thermistors), infrared heaters, microwave heaters, induction heaters, etc. In this embodiment, the specific type and location of the heating components are not further limited.

[0238] For example, the drying fan 31 may include an air outlet, the first air duct 33 may include a first air inlet, the second air duct 32 may include a second air inlet, and the air outlet of the drying fan 31 may be connected to both the first air inlet and the second air inlet.

[0239] In some embodiments, the drying assembly 30 may further include an air duct conversion structure, which includes a second position and a third position. When the air duct conversion structure is in the second position, the air outlet of the drying fan 31 is connected to the first air duct 33 but not to the second air duct 32. When the air duct conversion structure is in the third position, the air outlet of the drying fan 31 is connected to the second air duct 32 but not to the first air duct 33.

[0240] With this configuration, a drying fan 31 can be used to send air to two air ducts to dry the cloth assembly 200 located in different positions. This simplifies the structure of the drying assembly 30 and reduces costs.

[0241] Furthermore, compared to one drying fan 31 per air duct, this reduces the space occupied by the drying component 30, optimizes the space of the base station body 10, and facilitates the miniaturization of the clean base station 100. By selecting a suitable air duct, the air duct conversion structure can optimize the airflow path, thereby improving drying efficiency. This allows for more efficient use of energy, reduces drying time, and improves overall work efficiency.

[0242] In some other embodiments, there may be two drying fans 31, namely a first fan and a second fan. The first fan is connected to a first air duct 33 and supplies air to the washing tank 131 through the first air duct 33. The second fan is connected to a second air duct 32 and supplies air to the cloth storage unit 20 through the second air duct 32.

[0243] This design allows for the simultaneous drying of two different cloth assemblies 200 at two different locations using two separate fans, significantly reducing overall drying time and improving work efficiency. Drying assemblies at different locations separately reduces the risk of cross-contamination, especially when handling cloth assemblies 200 of different types or uses. Each fan focuses on one location, ensuring concentrated and even airflow distribution, improving drying efficiency, and ensuring that each assembly is thoroughly dried.

[0244] This setup allows for greater flexibility, enabling the operation of each fan to be adjusted and optimized as needed to accommodate different cloth assembly 200 and drying requirements. If one fan fails, the other can continue operating, thus improving system reliability and availability and reducing downtime.

[0245] In some other embodiments, the drying assembly 30 may further include a third air duct 34 (not shown in the figure), and a second fan (not shown in the figure) is connected to the third air duct 34. The third air duct 34 includes a third air outlet (not shown in the figure), which is connected to the dust collection chamber 12. The second fan delivers air to the dust collection chamber through the third air duct 34 to dry the dust collection chamber 12.

[0246] This setup allows for the simultaneous drying of both the dust collection bin and the cloth storage unit 20 using a second fan, reducing equipment and maintenance costs. Furthermore, the smaller space required for a single fan system helps optimize space utilization. Using a single fan also reduces noise levels during operation; a single fan is generally quieter than multiple fans operating simultaneously.

[0247] In this embodiment, the number of drying fans 31 and the number of air ducts are not further limited. As long as they can dry the cloth assembly 200 in the cloth storage compartment 21 or the washing tank 131, they can be set according to the actual situation.

[0248] This application also provides a cleaning system, including cleaning equipment and a cleaning base station 100 as described in any of the above embodiments. The cleaning equipment includes, but is not limited to, a mopping robot, a sweeping robot, a floor scrubber, a vacuum cleaner, a window cleaning robot, a pool cleaning robot, a carpet cleaner, and a multi-functional cleaning robot.

[0249] The cleaning system in this application embodiment, by setting up the cleaning base station 100 in any of the above embodiments, can dry other wiping cloth components 200 matched with the cleaning equipment while the cleaning equipment is working. In this way, when the wiping cloth component 200 installed on the cleaning equipment needs to be replaced, a new dried wiping cloth component 200 can be directly replaced, which can reduce the turnover time of the wiping cloth component 200 and make it more ready for the next use, thereby improving the overall work efficiency.
