Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] For base stations with automatically replaceable cleaning cloths, multiple pairs of cleaning cloths are typically installed inside the base station. When replacing the cleaning cloths, a transport mechanism is needed to move the cleaning cloths, which in turn requires power to the transport mechanism.

[0003] In related technologies, one end of the wiring harness is typically connected to the control board of the transportation mechanism, and the other end is connected to the control board of the base station. The base station's power board supplies power to its control board, which then transmits the current to the transportation mechanism's control board, which ultimately supplies power to the various motors in the transportation mechanism.

[0004] However, because the transport vehicle moves within the base station, the wiring harness connecting the transport vehicle and the base station is prone to getting tangled, knotted, or even damaged in severe cases, resulting in poor reliability of the base station supplying power to the transport vehicle. Utility Model Content

[0005] This application provides a clean base station and a clean system. The clean base station can improve the reliability of power supply to transportation agencies, and the power supply method is simple and low-cost.

[0006] The first aspect of this application provides a clean base station, comprising: a base station body, the base station body having base station electrodes; a transport mechanism that moves within the base station body to transport and replace a clean component within the base station body to a clean device; the transport mechanism includes a battery pack and a mechanism electrode, the mechanism electrode being electrically connected to the battery pack; wherein, when the mechanism electrode is in electrical contact with the base station electrodes, the base station body charges the battery pack.

[0007] The first aspect of this application provides a clean base station, comprising a base station body and a transport mechanism. The transport mechanism moves within the base station body to transport and replace cleaning components within the base station body to cleaning equipment. The base station body is equipped with base station electrodes, and the transport mechanism includes a battery pack and a mechanism electrode electrically connected. When the transport mechanism moves to a charging position, the mechanism electrode makes electrical contact with the base station electrode, enabling the base station body to charge the battery pack. This method of charging the battery pack through the docking of the base station electrode and the mechanism electrode simplifies the power supply from the base station body to the transport mechanism and ensures high power supply reliability. Furthermore, it reduces the number of wiring harnesses in the clean base station and lowers the difficulty of wiring harness assembly.

[0008] In one possible implementation, the base station electrode includes two electrode portions, which are spaced apart; the mechanism electrode includes two electrode plates, which are respectively disposed corresponding to the two electrode portions.

[0009] One of the two electrode sections of the base station is the positive electrode section and the other is the negative electrode section. One of the two electrode plates of the mechanism electrode is the positive electrode plate and the other is the negative electrode plate. The positive electrode section of the base station electrode is connected to the positive electrode plate of the mechanism electrode, and the negative electrode section of the base station electrode is connected to the negative electrode plate of the mechanism electrode, so that the base station body can supply power to the transportation mechanism.

[0010] Furthermore, by constructing the base station electrodes as electrode sections and the mechanism electrodes as electrode plates, reliable docking between the base station electrodes and mechanism electrodes can be ensured, improving the accuracy of their docking. Increasing the contact area between the base station electrodes and mechanism electrodes ensures tight contact. This enables the base station to stably and reliably supply power to the transportation mechanism.

[0011] In one possible implementation, the two electrode portions are spaced apart along the width direction of the base station body.

[0012] In this way, the forces generated by the two electrode sections and the two electrode plates are distributed along the width of the base station body, resulting in a more balanced force between the transport mechanism and the base station body. Furthermore, there is sufficient space along the length of the transport mechanism to accommodate the two electrode plates, ensuring adequate spacing between them and preventing short-circuit risks.

[0013] In one possible implementation, each electrode section is provided with at least two electrode contacts, and the electrode contacts are arranged sequentially along the width direction of the base station body.

[0014] In this way, the mechanism's electrodes can make electrical contact with any electrode contact, thus establishing a circuit between the base station and the transportation mechanism. The redundant arrangement of multiple electrode contacts provides offset space for the docking position of the transportation mechanism. This reduces the positional accuracy requirements of the transportation mechanism and improves the reliability of electrical conduction between the base station electrodes and the mechanism electrodes.

[0015] In one possible implementation, the base station body has a receiving groove at its bottom, with the opening of the receiving groove facing the front of the base station body; the base station electrode is disposed in the receiving groove on the side wall opposite to the opening, and the mechanism electrode is disposed on the side of the transport mechanism facing the receiving groove.

[0016] In this way, when the transport mechanism is located in the receiving tank, the entire transport mechanism is in a flat position, and the base station body supports the transport mechanism, which can ensure a stable and reliable connection between the transport mechanism and the base station electrodes. The mutual pushing force generated between the transport mechanism and the rear of the base station body can keep the transport mechanism and the base station electrodes in close contact, ensuring the stability and reliability of the power supply from the base station body to the transport mechanism.

[0017] In one possible implementation, the base station body is provided with a clean water tank and a wastewater tank, both of which are located above the receiving tank and are symmetrically arranged along the width direction of the base station body.

[0018] This design allows for a more rational layout and a more compact internal space, reducing the overall size of the clean water base station. Furthermore, since the base station electrodes do not occupy space above the receiving tank, the clean water tank and wastewater tank can be symmetrically arranged along the width of the base station body, resulting in a more balanced weight distribution and extending the service life of the clean water base station.

[0019] In one possible implementation, the transport mechanism further includes a mechanism control board and a motor, with the battery pack electrically connected to the mechanism control board and the mechanism control board electrically connected to the motor.

[0020] In this way, the battery pack supplies power to the mechanism control board, which in turn supplies power to each motor to control the operation of each motor.

[0021] In one possible implementation, the mechanism control board, battery pack, and motor are arranged sequentially along the length of the transport mechanism.

[0022] In this way, the control board, battery pack, and motor mainly occupy the space along the length of the transport mechanism, which helps to reduce the width of the transport mechanism and the space it occupies within the base station. The transport mechanism has greater mobility, making it easier to move to different storage locations.

[0023] Furthermore, the conductive wires connecting the mechanism electrodes and the battery pack, the battery pack and the mechanism control board, and the mechanism control board and the motor can all be laid out along the length of the transport mechanism. A neater arrangement of conductive wires within the transport mechanism improves the reliability of electrical connections between these components.

[0024] A second aspect of this application provides a clean base station, comprising: a base station body; a transport mechanism that moves within the base station body to transport and replace cleaning components within the base station body to a cleaning device; and an electrical connection assembly comprising a wire harness and a cable chain, the wire harness being connected between the transport mechanism and the base station body, a first end of the cable chain being connected to the base station body, a second end of the cable chain being connected to the transport mechanism, and the wire harness being threaded through the cable chain.

[0025] The second aspect of this application provides a clean base station, comprising a base station body and a transport mechanism. The transport mechanism moves within the base station body to transport and replace cleaning components within the base station body to cleaning equipment. The base station body and the transport mechanism are connected by an electrical connection assembly, which includes a wiring harness and a cable chain. The wiring harness connects the base station body and the transport mechanism. A first end of the cable chain is connected to the base station, and a second end of the cable chain is connected to the transport mechanism, with the wiring harness threaded through the cable chain. This allows the base station body to supply power to the transport mechanism via the wiring harness, resulting in a simple and low-cost power supply method. Furthermore, the cable chain protects and restricts the wiring harness, preventing it from becoming tangled, knotted, pulled, or damaged, thus improving the stability and reliability of the power supply.

[0026] In one possible implementation, the drag chain includes a fixed part and a movable part connected in sequence. The fixed part is fixed to the base station body, and the movable part deforms as the transport mechanism moves.

[0027] In this way, the drag chain can be fixed inside the base station body by the fixed part, while the movable part can meet the needs of the drag chain to move with the transportation mechanism.

[0028] In one possible implementation, the length of the fixed portion accounts for 1 / 4 to 1 / 2 of the total length of the drag chain; and / or, the fixed portion extends along the height direction of the base station body.

[0029] In this way, the fixed part of the cable chain is relatively long, and the connection area between the fixed part and the base station body is large, making the cable chain installation more stable and reliable. Furthermore, the fixed part of the cable chain will not swing or deform, which reduces the deformation space of the cable chain and improves the smoothness of its movement.

[0030] By extending the fixed portion of the cable chain along the height of the base station body, installation and maintenance of the cable chain are easier. Furthermore, the cable chain exhibits better smoothness, allowing for smooth movement. Additionally, the overall tension and gravity forces on the cable chain are balanced, resulting in higher reliability and a longer service life.

[0031] In one possible implementation, the active part includes a plurality of links connected in sequence, the length of which is 5mm-20mm.

[0032] In this way, the included angle between adjacent links can be flexibly changed, and the moving parts of the cable chain can be bent and deformed as the transport mechanism moves. The wiring harnesses running through the cable chain also bend and deform accordingly to meet the power supply requirements of the base station body to the transport mechanism. Specifically, by setting the length of the links between 5mm and 20mm, the requirements for the manufacturability and reliability of the links are met, as well as the bending and deformation requirements of the moving parts of the cable chain are also satisfied.

[0033] In one possible implementation, the base station body is further provided with a base station control board, the wiring harness is connected to the base station control board, and the height difference between the first end of the drag chain and the height center of the base station control board is less than 20cm.

[0034] In this way, regardless of whether the base station control board is located slightly above or slightly below the first end of the cable chain, the first end of the cable chain can be kept close to the area where the base station control board is located. The portion of the wiring harness exposed outside the cable chain is minimal, and the cable chain provides significant protection and constraint for the wiring harness.

[0035] A third aspect of this application provides a cleaning system, including cooperating cleaning equipment and a cleaning base station, wherein the cleaning base station is as described above.

[0036] The cleaning system provided in this application, since it includes the aforementioned cleaning base station, possesses all the technical effects of a cleaning base station, which will not be elaborated here. Attached Figure Description

[0063] As described in the background section, base stations with automatic cloth replacement are typically equipped with a movable transport mechanism to transport cloths and replace those on cleaning equipment.

[0064] In order to supply power to the transportation mechanism, the relevant technology generally connects the control board of the transportation mechanism and the control board of the base station itself through a wiring harness. The power board of the base station supplies power to the control board of the base station, and then transmits the current to the control board of the transportation mechanism through the wiring harness. Finally, the control board of the transportation mechanism controls the operation of each motor of the transportation mechanism.

[0065] However, the wiring harnesses connecting the transport vehicle and the base station are messy and difficult to manage. Movement of the transport vehicle can also cause the wiring harnesses to become tangled, knotted, or even damaged. This affects the stability and reliability of the power supply from the base station to the transport vehicle.

[0066] In view of this, embodiments of this application provide a clean base station and a cleaning system. The clean base station includes a base station body and a transport mechanism. The transport mechanism moves within the base station body to transport and replace cleaning components within the base station body to a cleaning device.

[0067] The base station body is equipped with base station electrodes, and the transport mechanism includes an electrically connected battery pack and mechanism electrodes. When the transport mechanism moves to the charging position, the mechanism electrodes make electrical contact with the base station electrodes, enabling the base station body to charge the battery pack. This method of charging the battery pack through the docking of the base station electrodes and mechanism electrodes simplifies the power supply from the base station body to the transport mechanism and ensures high power reliability. Furthermore, it reduces the number of wiring harnesses in the clean base station and simplifies wiring harness assembly.

[0068] Alternatively, the base station body and the transport mechanism can be connected via an electrical connection assembly, which includes a wiring harness and a cable chain. The wiring harness connects the base station body and the transport mechanism, with one end of the cable chain connected to the base station and the other end connected to the transport mechanism, and the wiring harness threaded through the cable chain. This allows the base station body to supply power to the transport mechanism via the wiring harness, a simple and low-cost method. Furthermore, the cable chain protects and restricts the wiring harness, preventing it from becoming tangled, knotted, pulled, or damaged, thus improving the stability and reliability of the power supply.

[0069] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0070] This application provides a cleaning system, which includes cleaning equipment and a cleaning base station. The cleaning equipment can be used in conjunction with the cleaning base station.

[0071] Cleaning equipment includes, but is not limited to, sweepers, scrubbers, or vacuum cleaners. It is primarily used to clean stains and dust from surfaces that require cleaning, such as floors, walls, or objects of varying roughness. The cleaning base station can collect wastewater and dust from the cleaning equipment and may also have functions such as charging the equipment and replacing cleaning components (e.g., cloths, rollers, brushes).

[0072] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a clean base station provided in an embodiment of this application. (Refer to...) Figure 1 As shown, the cleaning base station includes a base station body 100 and a transport mechanism 200. The base station body 100 serves as the main structure of the cleaning base station and can integrate functions such as water supply, wastewater collection, and power supply. The base station body 100 can provide cleaning water to the cleaning equipment, collect wastewater discharged by the cleaning equipment, and charge the cleaning equipment. The transport mechanism 200 can move within the base station body 100 to retrieve and transport cleaning components to different locations, enabling the cleaning base station to store cleaning components and replace cleaning components for the cleaning equipment.

[0073] The base station body 100 may be equipped with a clean water tank 110 and a wastewater tank 120 (e.g., Figure 11 (As shown). The clean water tank 110 stores cleaning water. When the cleaning equipment is connected to the cleaning base station, the base station body 100 can deliver the cleaning water from the clean water tank 110 to the cleaning equipment to supply it with cleaning water. The wastewater tank 120 collects wastewater. When the cleaning equipment is connected to the cleaning base station, the wastewater from the cleaning equipment can be discharged into the wastewater tank 120. The base station body 100 may also be equipped with a charging position (not shown in the figure). When the cleaning equipment reaches the charging position, the base station body 100 can charge the cleaning equipment.

[0074] The base station body 100 may also include a replacement location and a storage location for cleaning components. The replacement location is used to receive cleaning components removed from the cleaning equipment (e.g., dirty cleaning components), and also to receive cleaning components to be installed into the cleaning equipment (e.g., clean cleaning components). The storage location is used to store other cleaning components, so that the cleaning base station can hold multiple sets of cleaning components for use by the cleaning equipment.

[0075] This eliminates the need for users to manually replace cleaning devices, improving cleaning efficiency and saving the hassle of manual replacement. Furthermore, the automatic replacement of cleaning devices by the base station itself prevents cross-contamination between different areas. Users can customize cleaning devices for different areas according to their personal preferences and home habits, ensuring dedicated use for each area and effectively preventing cross-use of cleaning devices in bathrooms, kitchens, living rooms, bedrooms, etc., resulting in greater hygiene and cleanliness.

[0076] In addition, the base station body 100 can store multiple sets of cleaning components of different materials and structures to meet the different cleaning needs of the cleaning equipment. For example, the cleaning components stored in the base station body 100 may include the aforementioned rags, rollers, and brushes. The base station body 100 can automatically replace the corresponding cleaning components when the cleaning equipment recognizes different cleaning needs, thereby optimizing the cleaning process and improving the cleaning effect.

[0077] Figure 2 for Figure 1 A breakdown diagram of the structure of a clean base station from one perspective. Figure 3 for Figure 1 An exploded view of the clean base station from another perspective. (Refer to...) Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the base station body 100 may include a main frame 130 and a front cover 140. The main frame 130 constitutes the main support structure of the base station body 100, and the front cover 140 is connected to the front side of the main frame 130. There is a gap between the bottom end of the front cover 140 and the bottom of the main frame 130. The portion of the main frame 130 located at the lower end of the front cover 140 forms a receiving groove 131, which can be used to accommodate cleaning equipment.

[0078] The front cover 140 is located on the front of the base station body 100. The opening formed between the bottom end of the front cover 140 and the bottom of the main frame 130 serves as the opening of the receiving slot 131. Thus, the opening of the receiving slot 131 faces the front of the base station body 100, allowing the cleaning device to enter the receiving slot 131 from the front of the base station body 100. For example, the receiving slot 131 can serve as a charging position for the cleaning device; after the cleaning device enters the receiving slot 131, the base station body 100 can charge the cleaning device.

[0079] The aforementioned replacement position 101 for the cleaning component can be located within the receiving groove 131, for example, on the side wall of the receiving groove 131 facing the bottom of the base station body 100. After the cleaning equipment enters the receiving groove 131, the cleaning component on the cleaning equipment can fall into the receiving groove 131, and the transport mechanism 200 can transport the unloaded cleaning component or the unloaded and cleaned cleaning component to the storage position 102. Alternatively, the transport mechanism 200 can also transport the cleaning component to be replaced from the storage position 102 to the replacement position 101 within the receiving groove 131, and after the cleaning equipment enters the receiving groove 131, the cleaning component in the receiving groove 131 can be replaced on the cleaning equipment.

[0080] Reference Figure 3 As shown, the aforementioned storage location 102 for cleaning components can be located on the inner wall of the front cover 140 (the side wall of the front cover 140 facing the main frame 130). For example, three sets of storage locations 102 can be sequentially arranged on the inner wall of the front cover 140, and these three sets of storage locations 102 can be sequentially arranged along the height direction of the base station body 100. In this way, a maximum of three sets of cleaning components can be stored inside the base station body 100 for the replacement of cleaning equipment.

[0081] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram illustrating one state of a clean base station provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram illustrating another state of the clean base station provided in an embodiment of this application. (Refer to...) Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in order to enable the transport mechanism 200 to move between the cleaning component replacement position 101 and the storage position 102, a suitable transport track 150 can be provided within the base station body 100. The transport mechanism 200 moves along the transport track 150 to transport the cleaning component between the replacement position 101 and each storage position 102.

[0082] When the cleaning component replacement position 101 is located in the receiving groove 131 at the bottom of the base station body 100, and the various storage positions 102 of the cleaning components are sequentially arranged along the height direction of the front cover 140, the corresponding transport track 150 can extend from the bottom of the base station body 100 to the top of the base station body 100. For example, the transport track 150 may include a translation section 151 and a lifting section 152. The translation section 151 is close to the bottom of the base station body 100, one end of the lifting section 152 is connected to the translation section 151, and the other end of the lifting section 152 extends towards the top of the base station body 100.

[0083] As an example, the transport track 150 within the base station body 100 can be a rack and pinion track 150a.

[0084] Correspondingly, the transport mechanism 200 is equipped with a gear 210 (see...) Figure 8(As shown). For example, gears 210 are disposed at opposite ends of the transport mechanism 200, and rack and pinion tracks 150a are disposed on the inner sidewalls of opposite sides of the base station body 100. The gears 210 of the transport mechanism 200 can mesh with the rack and pinion tracks 150a, and the transport mechanism 200 can also be provided with a motion motor to drive the gears 210 to rotate, so as to realize the movement of the transport mechanism 200 along the transport track 150.

[0085] Reference Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the transport mechanism 200 is located in the receiving slot 131 at the bottom of the base station body 100. At this time, the transport mechanism 200 corresponds to the cleaning part replacement position 101. The cleaning part unloaded from the cleaning equipment at the replacement position 101 can be taken out by the transport mechanism 200, and the cleaning part to be replaced to the cleaning equipment can be placed on the replacement position 101 by the transport mechanism 200.

[0086] Reference Figure 5 As shown in the figure, the transport mechanism 200 is depicted moving along the transport track 150 to the top of the base station body 100. At this time, the transport mechanism 200 corresponds to the storage position 102 located at the top of the front cover 140 (see Figure 100). Figure 3 As shown, the cleaning parts can be retrieved from the corresponding storage location 102 by the transport mechanism 200, or the cleaning parts to be stored can be placed on the corresponding storage location 102 by the transport mechanism 200.

[0087] Understandably, besides Figure 5 The transport mechanism 200 shown in the diagram is located at the top of the base station body 100. The transport mechanism 200 can also be moved to a position corresponding to other storage locations 102. Further details are omitted here.

[0088] As mentioned earlier, the transport mechanism 200 is equipped with a motion motor to drive its movement. In addition, the transport mechanism 200 typically also includes a drive motor for picking up and placing cleaning items. For example, the transport mechanism 200 may have a dedicated drive motor for picking up cleaning items and a dedicated drive motor for unloading cleaning items, or the functions of picking up and unloading cleaning items may be achieved using the same drive motor.

[0089] Since the transport mechanism 200 has these motors, the base station body 100 needs to supply power to the transport mechanism 200 to ensure that these motors can work properly.

[0090] Example 1

[0091] Figure 6 This is a partial structural diagram of a base station body provided in Embodiment 1 of this application. (Refer to...) Figure 6As shown, in order to enable the base station body 100 to supply power to the transportation mechanism 200, as one implementation method, the base station body 100 is provided with a base station electrode 160, and the base station body 100 charges the transportation mechanism 200 through the base station electrode 160.

[0092] The base station electrode 160 can be disposed in the receiving groove 131 at the bottom of the base station body 100. When the transport mechanism 200 moves into the receiving groove 131 and docks with the base station electrode 160, the base station body 100 can supply power to the transport mechanism 200. When the transport mechanism 200 is located in the receiving groove 131, the transport mechanism 200 is in a flat position and is supported by the base station body 100. The transport mechanism 200 can be stably stopped in this position, which can achieve a stable and reliable docking between the transport mechanism 200 and the base station electrode 160, and can ensure the stability and reliability of the power supply from the base station body 100 to the transport mechanism 200.

[0093] For example, the base station electrode 160 can be disposed on the side wall of the receiving groove 131 opposite to the groove opening. In other words, the base station electrode 160 is disposed on the inner side wall of the rear side of the base station body 100. When the transport mechanism 200 moves into the receiving groove 131 along the transport track 150, the transport mechanism 200 moves toward the rear side of the base station body 100 on the transport track 150 (e.g., the translation section 151) until the transport mechanism 200 docks with the base station electrode 160 on the inner side wall of the rear side of the base station body 100.

[0094] When the transport mechanism 200 moves into the receiving slot 131, a mutual pushing force is generated between the transport mechanism 200 and the rear side of the base station body 100. When the transport mechanism 200 docks with the base station electrode 160 located on the inner sidewall of the rear side of the base station body 100, the pushing force ensures that the transport mechanism 200 and the base station electrode 160 are in close contact, and the electrical contact between the transport mechanism 200 and the base station electrode 160 is good, so that the base station body 100 can stably transmit current to the transport mechanism 200.

[0095] Additionally, as mentioned above, the receiving slot 131 can serve as a charging point for the cleaning device. In some embodiments, the base station electrode 160 disposed within the receiving slot 131 can also be used to power the cleaning device. That is, when the cleaning device moves into the receiving slot 131, it can also dock with the base station electrode 160 within the receiving slot 131 to transmit current to the cleaning device through the base station electrode 160.

[0096] Furthermore, the cleaning equipment is placed horizontally within the receiving slot 131, with the bottom of the base station body 100 supporting it. A mutual resistive force is also generated between the cleaning equipment and the rear side of the base station body 100. Therefore, the cleaning equipment can maintain close contact with the base station electrodes 160, ensuring the stability and reliability of the current transmission from the base station body 100 to the cleaning equipment. Further details are omitted here.

[0097] With this configuration, the base station electrode 160 supplies power to both the transport mechanism 200 and the cleaning equipment. By placing only one base station electrode 160 within the base station body 100, the charging needs of both the transport mechanism 200 and the cleaning equipment can be simultaneously addressed. Consequently, the power supply mechanism within the base station body 100 is simpler, occupies less space, and facilitates the layout design of other components within the base station body 100. Furthermore, it ensures a stable and reliable power supply from the base station body 100 to both the transport mechanism 200 and the cleaning equipment, meeting the reliability requirements of the cleaning system.

[0098] Figure 7 This is a rear view structural diagram of the base station main body provided in Embodiment 1 of this application. (Refer to...) Figure 7 As shown, regarding how the base station body 100 transmits current to the base station electrode 160, the base station body 100 may also include a base station control board 170 and a power supply board 180. The base station electrode 160 and the base station control board 170 are electrically connected, and the base station control board 170 and the power supply board 180 are electrically connected. For example, the base station electrode 160 and the base station control board 170, and the base station control board 170 and the power supply board 180, can be connected by conductive wires.

[0099] The power supply board 180 can convert the input power into voltage and current usable by the base station body 100 and output stable voltage and current. The power supply board 180 supplies power to the base station control board 170, which then distributes current and voltage to the base station electrodes 160, and finally transmits current to the transport mechanism 200 through the base station electrodes 160.

[0100] The power supply board 180 and the base station control board 170 can be located at the rear of the base station body 100. It should be noted that, in order to demonstrate the internal structure of the base station body 100, Figure 7 The rear cover of the base station body 100 is omitted. Both the power board 180 and the base station control board 170 can be installed on the side of the main frame 130 facing the rear cover. In this way, the main frame 130 of the base station body 100 provides a mounting base for the power board 180 and the base station control board 170. The rear cover of the base station body 100 can protect the power board 180 and the base station control board 170 from damage such as bumps and scratches, and also prevent moisture, dust and other foreign objects in the external environment from affecting the working performance of the power board 180 and the base station control board 170.

[0101] Furthermore, the main frame 130 isolates the power board 180 and the base station control board 170 outside its internal cavity, thus also isolating them from the influence of components located within the main frame 130. For example, by separating the power board 180 and the base station control board 170 from components such as the clean water tank 110 and the wastewater tank 120, the main frame 130 can prevent water droplets from flowing or splashing onto the power board 180 and the base station control board 170, protecting them from burning out.

[0102] To address this, the base station electrode 160 is positioned on the inner side wall of the rear side of the base station body 100, close to the rear cover of the base station body 100, facilitating electrical connection between the base station electrode 160 and the base station control board 170. For example, the base station electrode 160 and the base station control board 170 can be mounted on the same plate of the main frame 130, with the rear end of the base station electrode 160 extending through the plate and exposed on the side where the base station control board 170 is located.

[0103] Therefore, the conductive wire connecting the base station electrode 160 and the base station control board 170 can be located entirely on the side of the main frame 130 facing the rear cover. There is no need to install conductive wire guiding and exiting structures within the inner cavity of the base station body 100, resulting in a simpler and less costly structure for the base station body 100. Furthermore, the shorter length and lower resistance of the conductive wire lead to more stable current transmission and a higher current transmission rate between the base station control board 170 and the base station electrode 160, improving the stability and efficiency of power supply from the base station body 100 to the transport mechanism 200. Additionally, the conductive wire is isolated outside the inner cavity of the base station body 100, protecting it from the influence of the inner environment of the base station body 100.

[0104] Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram of the transportation mechanism provided in Embodiment 1 of this application. Figure 9 for Figure 8 The exploded structure diagram of the transportation organization in the data. Combined with... Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the transport mechanism 200 may include an upper housing 221 and a lower housing 222, which are joined together to form the housing 220 of the transport mechanism 200. The aforementioned gear 210 may be connected to one of the upper housing 221 and the lower housing 222, for example, located at opposite ends of the lower housing 222. A receiving plate 230 may be provided on the side of the lower housing 222 away from the upper housing 221. The receiving plate 230 is used to receive cleaning parts, and the receiving plate 230 fixes the cleaning parts by means of, for example, claws, magnetic attraction, vacuum adsorption, etc.

[0105] The transport mechanism 200 also includes a mechanism electrode 240, which can be mounted on the housing 220 of the transport mechanism 200 and is exposed outside the housing 220. When the transport mechanism 200 moves to a charging position (e.g., within the aforementioned receiving slot 131), the mechanism electrode 240 of the transport mechanism 200 docks with the base station electrode 160 of the base station body 100. The mechanism electrode 240 and the base station electrode 160 are in electrical contact to enable the base station body 100 to supply power to the transport mechanism 200.

[0106] When the base station electrode 160 is disposed on the inner side wall of the rear side of the base station body 100, the mechanism electrode 240 can be disposed on the side of the transport mechanism 200 facing the rear side of the base station body 100. When the transport mechanism 200 moves into the receiving groove 131, the mechanism electrode 240 and the base station electrode 160 are directly opposite each other and in contact, achieving electrical contact between the two.

[0107] Reference Figure 9 As shown, the transport mechanism 200 also includes a battery pack 250, which can be disposed within the receiving space formed by the upper housing 221 and the lower housing 222. A mechanism electrode 240 is electrically connected to the battery pack 250, for example, via a conductive wire. Electrical energy is transferred to the battery pack 250 through the mechanism electrode 240, thereby charging the battery pack 250.

[0108] When the transport mechanism 200 is powered by electrical contact between the mechanism electrode 240 and the base station electrode 160, the base station body 100 only supplies power to the transport mechanism 200 when it moves to the charging position. When the transport mechanism 200 moves to other positions, the mechanism electrode 240 cannot contact the base station electrode 160, and the base station body 100 cannot supply power to the transport mechanism 200. Therefore, by installing a battery pack 250 inside the transport mechanism 200, when the transport mechanism 200 moves to the charging position, the base station body 100 charges the battery pack 250, and the electrical energy is stored in the battery pack 250. In this way, when the transport mechanism 200 moves to other positions, it can be powered by discharging through the battery pack 250.

[0109] Continue to refer to Figure 9 The transport mechanism 200 may also include a mechanism control board 260 and a motor 270, both of which can be disposed within the accommodating space enclosed by the upper housing 221 and the lower housing 222. The motor 270 may include the aforementioned motion motor that drives the transport mechanism 200 and a drive motor that performs the picking and placing of cleaning components.

[0110] The mechanism control board 260 and the battery pack 250 are electrically connected, and the motor 270 and the mechanism control board 260 are also electrically connected. The battery pack 250 supplies power to the mechanism control board 260, which in turn supplies power to each motor 270 to control their operation. The battery pack 250 and the mechanism control board 260, as well as the motor 270 and the mechanism control board 260, can be electrically connected via conductive wires.

[0111] For example, the mechanism control panel 260, battery pack 250, and motor 270 can be along the length of the transport mechanism 200 ( Figure 9 The components (shown in the X direction) are arranged sequentially. In this way, the mechanism control board 260, battery pack 250, and motor 270 mainly occupy the space in the length direction of the transport mechanism 200, which helps to reduce the space in the width direction of the transport mechanism 200. Figure 9 The space in the Y direction shown in the figure. The width of the transport mechanism 200 is smaller, which can reduce the space occupied by the transport mechanism 200 within the base station body 100. The transport mechanism 200 has a larger movement space along the height direction of the base station body 100, which makes it easier for the transport mechanism 200 to move to different storage locations 102.

[0112] Arranging the mechanism control board 260, battery pack 250, and motor 270 along the length of the transport mechanism 200 facilitates electrical connections between these components. The conductive wires connecting the mechanism electrode 240 and battery pack 250, the battery pack 250 and mechanism control board 260, and the mechanism control board 260 and motor 270 can all be laid out along the length of the transport mechanism 200. This results in a neater arrangement of conductive wires within the transport mechanism 200, preventing tangling or pulling between different conductive wires. Furthermore, this improves the reliability of electrical connections between these components, contributing to enhanced operational stability and service life of the transport mechanism 200.

[0113] like Figure 9 As shown in the diagram, the battery pack 250 and motor 270 are centrally located at one end of the transport mechanism 200 along its length, while the mechanism control plate 260 is located at the other end. In other examples, one of the battery pack 250 and motor 270 may be positioned close to the mechanism control plate 260 to shorten the length of the conductive line between the mechanism control plate 260 and the corresponding component, thereby improving the current transmission efficiency between the mechanism control plate 260 and the corresponding component. Alternatively, the mechanism control plate 260, battery pack 250, and motor 270 may all be positioned adjacent to each other to further shorten the length of the conductive line between them.

[0114] By setting a base station electrode 160 in the base station body 100 and a mechanism electrode 240 and a battery pack 250 electrically connected thereto in the transport mechanism 200, the battery pack 250 is charged through electrical contact between the mechanism electrode 240 and the base station electrode 160. This method of powering the transport mechanism 200 from the base station body 100 is simple and highly reliable. The battery pack 250 can store a significant amount of power for the motor 270, and can be recharged via the base station body 100 when the battery pack 250 is depleted. At other times, the transport mechanism 200 can move freely.

[0115] Furthermore, this design avoids connecting conductive wires between the transport mechanism 200 and the base station body 100, reducing the number of wiring harnesses required for cleaning the base station and simplifying wiring harness assembly. This also prevents the movement of the transport mechanism 200 from affecting the conductive wires, avoiding bending, pulling, and knotting of the wiring harnesses as they move with the transport mechanism 200, and preventing the wiring harnesses from affecting the stability and reliability of power supply from the base station body 100 to the transport mechanism 200.

[0116] Specifically, the base station electrode 160 of the base station body 100 may include two electrode portions 161 (see...). Figure 6 As shown), one electrode portion 161 serves as the positive electrode portion of the base station electrode 160, and the other electrode portion 161 serves as the negative electrode portion of the base station electrode 160. Correspondingly, the mechanism electrode 240 of the transport mechanism 200 may include two electrode plates 241 (see...). Figure 8 or Figure 9 As shown, one electrode 241 serves as the positive electrode of the mechanism electrode 240, and the other electrode 241 serves as the negative electrode of the mechanism electrode 240.

[0117] The positive electrode of the base station electrode 160 is connected to the positive electrode of the mechanism electrode 240, and the negative electrode of the base station electrode 160 is connected to the negative electrode of the mechanism electrode 240. Furthermore, the positive electrode of the mechanism electrode 240 is connected to the positive electrode of the battery pack 250, and the negative electrode of the mechanism electrode 240 is connected to the negative electrode of the battery pack 250. This enables the base station body 100 to charge the battery pack 250 of the transport mechanism 200.

[0118] By configuring the base station electrode 160 as an electrode portion 161, the electrode portion 161 can protrude from the inner wall of the base station body 100. The electrode portion 161 is a fixed structure on the base station body 100, exhibiting high stability and reliability, ensuring the stability and reliability of the docking between the base station electrode 160 and the mechanism electrode 240. Furthermore, as the electrode portion 161 is a protruding structure on the inner wall of the base station body 100, when the transport mechanism 200 moves to the charging position, the protruding electrode portion 161 will contact the mechanism electrode 240 before other parts, improving the accuracy of the docking between the base station electrode 160 and the mechanism electrode 240. The contact force generated by the protruding electrode portion 161 docking with the mechanism electrode 240 is also greater, ensuring tight contact between the base station electrode 160 and the mechanism electrode 240.

[0119] By configuring the mechanism electrode 240 as an electrode sheet 241, it is easy to insert the electrode sheet 241 through the housing 220 of the transport mechanism 200. A portion of the electrode sheet 241 extends outside the housing 220 to facilitate docking with the base station electrode 160, while the other portion is located inside the housing 220 for electrical connection with the battery pack 250. Furthermore, the large surface area of ​​the electrode sheet 241 increases the contact area between the mechanism electrode 240 and the base station electrode 160, ensuring reliable electrical contact. Additionally, the thin electrode sheet 241 allows for elastic deformation; when the mechanism electrode 240 contacts the base station electrode 160, the elastic force generated by the electrode sheet 241 increases the contact strength, ensuring tight contact between the mechanism electrode 240 and the base station electrode 160.

[0120] Among them, the two electrode portions 161 of the base station electrode 160 can be along the width direction of the base station body 100 ( Figure 4 and Figure 5 The two electrode plates 241 of the mechanism electrode 240 are spaced apart along the length direction of the transport mechanism 200 (in the X direction). Figure 9 The two electrode sections 161 and 241 are spaced apart in the X direction. This distributes the forces generated by the two electrode sections 161 and 241 across the width of the base station body 100, resulting in a more balanced force between the transport mechanism 200 and the base station body 100, ensuring a smooth and reliable connection. Furthermore, the transport mechanism 200 is relatively long, providing sufficient space for the two electrode sections 241, with adequate spacing between them. This ensures reliable electrical transmission between the base station electrode 160 and the mechanism electrode 240, avoiding the risk of short circuits.

[0121] Based on this, each electrode portion 161 of the base station electrode 160 may be provided with at least two electrode contacts 1611, and each electrode contact 1611 may be arranged sequentially along the width direction of the base station body 100 (see...). Figure 6(As shown). When the transport mechanism 200 moves to the charging position, the electrode plate 241 of the mechanism electrode 240 can make electrical contact with any electrode contact 1611, thus connecting the circuit between the base station body 100 and the transport mechanism 200. The redundant arrangement of the multiple electrode contacts 1611 of the base station electrode 160 provides a certain tolerance for the docking position of the transport mechanism 200, allowing the transport mechanism 200 to have a certain positional offset in the width direction of the base station body 100. This reduces the positional accuracy requirement of the transport mechanism 200 and improves the reliability of the electrical connection between the base station electrode 160 and the mechanism electrode 240.

[0122] Figure 6 Taking the example of each electrode portion 161 of the base station electrode 160 having two electrode contacts 1611, the movement trajectory of the transport mechanism 200 is limited by the transport track 150. The positional accuracy of the transport mechanism 200 is high, and excessive offset and misalignment will not occur. Therefore, two electrode contacts 1611 are sufficient to meet the docking reliability requirements of the transport mechanism 200. Of course, in other examples, three, four, or other numbers of electrode contacts 1611 may be provided for each electrode portion 161 of the base station electrode 160; this embodiment does not impose specific limitations on this.

[0123] Figure 10 This is a partial structural diagram of the transportation mechanism and base station electrode docking provided in Embodiment 1 of this application. (Refer to...) Figure 10 As shown in the figure, the electrode plate 241 of the transport mechanism 200 and the electrode contact 1611 on the right side of the electrode portion 161 of the base station electrode 160 (along the plane of the paper in the figure) are in contact. When the position of the transport mechanism 200 (along the plane of the paper in the figure) shifts to the left, the electrode plate 241 of the transport mechanism 200 can also contact the electrode contact 1611 on the left side of the electrode portion 161 (along the plane of the paper in the figure).

[0124] Figure 11 This is a partial structural diagram of the clean base station provided in Embodiment 1 of this application. (Refer to...) Figure 11 As shown, both the aforementioned clean water tank 110 and wastewater tank 120 can be located above the receiving groove 131 at the bottom of the base station body 100. Furthermore, the clean water tank 110 and wastewater tank 120 can be arranged side-by-side along the width of the base station body 100. This results in a more rational layout design for the clean base station and a more compact internal space. It helps to reduce the size of the clean base station, minimize the space it occupies, and improve the user experience.

[0125] In this embodiment, the base station electrode 160 and the mechanism electrode 240 are electrically connected to achieve power supply from the base station body 100 to the transport mechanism 200. Furthermore, the base station electrode 160 is integrated into the receiving groove 131 at the bottom of the base station body 100. Therefore, the power supply structure of the base station body 100 does not occupy space above the receiving groove 131. At this time, the clean water tank 110 and the wastewater tank 120 can be symmetrically arranged along the width direction of the base station body 100. While saving internal space of the cleaning base station, the cleaning base station's own gravity is more balanced, resulting in higher stability and extending its service life.

[0126] Example 2

[0127] Figure 12 This is a schematic diagram of one state of the clean base station provided in Embodiment 2 of this application. Figure 13 for Figure 12 A schematic diagram of another state of a clean base station.

[0128] Reference Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, in order to enable the base station body 100 to supply power to the transportation mechanism 200, as another implementation method, an electrical connection component 300 can be connected between the base station body 100 and the transportation mechanism 200, and the base station body 100 transmits electrical energy to the transportation mechanism 200 through the electrical connection component 300.

[0129] The electrical connection assembly 300 may include a wiring harness 310 and a cable chain 320. The wiring harness 310 is connected between the transport mechanism 200 and the base station body 100 to transmit electrical power between the base station body 100 and the transport mechanism 200. The cable chain 320 is also connected between the transport mechanism 200 and the base station body 100, and the cable chain 320 surrounds the outer periphery of the wiring harness 310, or in other words, the wiring harness 310 passes through the cable chain 320.

[0130] Similar to Embodiment 1, the base station body 100 may also be equipped with a base station control board 170 and a power supply board 180, which are electrically connected (e.g., ...). Figure 7 (As shown). One end of the wiring harness 310 connected to the base station body 100 can be connected to the base station control board 170. Power is supplied to the base station control board 170 by the power supply board 180, and the base station control board 170 then transmits power to the wiring harness 310.

[0131] The transport mechanism 200 may also include a mechanism control board 260 and a motor 270, the mechanism control board 260 and the motor 270 being electrically connected (e.g. Figure 9(As shown). Motor 270 may include the aforementioned motion motor that drives the transport mechanism 200, and a drive motor that performs the picking and placing function of the cleaning parts. One end of the wiring harness 310 connected to the transport mechanism 200 may be connected to the mechanism control board 260. Electrical energy is transmitted from the wiring harness 310 to the mechanism control board 260, which then supplies power to each motor 270 to control their operation. Further details are omitted here.

[0132] It should be noted that since the transport mechanism 200 and the base station body 100 are connected via wiring harness 310, the base station body 100 can provide real-time power to the transport mechanism 200. Therefore, there is no need to install a battery pack 250 inside the transport mechanism 200 to store electrical energy, and the wiring harness 310 can be directly connected to the mechanism control board 260.

[0133] Of course, in some examples, a battery pack 250 can also be installed in the transport mechanism 200, and the wiring harness 310 can be connected to the battery pack 250. The battery pack 250 is connected to the mechanism control board 260. In this case, the base station body 100 can charge the battery pack 250 of the transport mechanism 200 through the wiring harness 310. After the battery pack 250 is fully charged, the power to the base station body 100 can be cut off. The circuit between the base station body 100 and the transport mechanism 200 is only connected when the battery pack 250 needs to be charged.

[0134] By electrically connecting the base station body 100 and the transport mechanism 200 through the wiring harness 310, the base station body 100 can supply power to the transport mechanism 200 in real time. The method of supplying power from the base station body 100 to the transport mechanism 200 is simple and has low power supply cost.

[0135] The cable chain 320 surrounding the wire harness 310 protects the wire harness 310 from scratches or wear during movement with the transport mechanism 200. The cable chain 320 also restrains the wire harness 310, keeping it relatively stationary within the chain to prevent it from becoming tangled, knotted, or pulled, thus avoiding damage. Therefore, the cable chain 320 protects the integrity of the wire harness 310 and improves the stability and reliability of the power supply.

[0136] like Figure 12 As shown in the figure, the transport mechanism 200 is positioned within the receiving slot 131 at the bottom of the base station body 100. At this time, the transport mechanism 200 is in its lowest position, and the end of the electrical connection assembly 300 connected to the transport mechanism 200 is also in its lowest position. Figure 13 As shown in the figure, the transport mechanism 200 moves along the transport track 150 to the top of the base station body 100. At this time, the transport mechanism 200 is at its highest position, and the end of the electrical connection component 300 connected to the transport mechanism 200 is also at its highest position.

[0137] For ease of explanation, in this embodiment, the two ends of the cable chain 320 are defined as the first end 321 and the second end 322, respectively. The first end 321 of the cable chain 320 is connected to the base station body 100, and the second end 322 of the cable chain 320 is connected to the transport mechanism 200. The first end 321 of the cable chain 320 can be located away from the bottom of the base station body 100; for example, the first end 321 of the cable chain 320 may be located in the middle region of the height direction of the base station body 100, or the first end 321 of the cable chain 320 may be close to the top of the base station body 100.

[0138] If the first end 321 of the cable chain 320 is close to the bottom of the base station body 100, when the transport mechanism 200 moves to the top of the base station body 100, the second end 322 of the cable chain 320 will be closest to the top of the base station body 100 and furthest from the first end 321. To meet the movement requirements of the transport mechanism 200, when the transport mechanism 200 moves to the top of the base station body 100, the extreme state between the two ends of the cable chain 320 is a straight state. Thus, the cable chain 320 needs a long redundant length, the wiring harness 310 also needs a long redundant length, and the cost of the electrical connection component 300 is high. Furthermore, when the transport mechanism 200 is located in the receiving groove 131 at the bottom of the base station body 100, the redundant part of the electrical connection component 300 accumulates on the inner bottom wall of the base station body 100, which not only occupies a large space, but also increases the risk of the electrical connection component 300 becoming disordered or tangled when moving upwards.

[0139] Therefore, by placing the first end 321 of the drag chain 320 in the middle region of the height direction of the base station body 100, or by placing the first end 321 of the drag chain 320 close to the top of the base station body 100, the redundant length of the drag chain 320 can be reduced, thereby lowering the cost of the electrical connection component 300. Furthermore, when the transport mechanism 200 is located within the receiving groove 131 at the bottom of the base station body 100, the redundant portion of the drag chain 320 is very short, preventing the risk of it accumulating on the inner bottom wall of the base station body 100. This avoids the drag chain 320 occupying space on the inner bottom wall of the base station body 100 and significantly reduces the risk of the electrical connection component 300 becoming misaligned or tangled during movement.

[0140] Among them, such as Figure 12 As shown, when the transport mechanism 200 is located within the receiving groove 131 at the bottom of the base station body 100, the electrical connection component 300 extends downwards along the height direction of the clean base station, allowing it to be in its most extended and comfortable posture. Figure 13 As shown, when the transport mechanism 200 moves to the top of the base station body 100, the second end 322 of the drag chain 320 is higher than the first end 321 of the drag chain 320, and the electrical connection component 300 is in a naturally drooping "U" shaped bend.

[0141] Figure 14 A partial structural diagram of a clean base station provided for embodiments of this application. (Refer to...) Figure 14 As shown in the figure, taking the state when the transport mechanism 200 moves to the top of the base station body 100 as an example, this embodiment can also limit the height difference between the first end 321 of the drag chain 320 and the base station control board 170. Since the wire harness 310 needs to pass through the first end 321 of the drag chain 320 to be electrically connected to the base station control board 170, the smaller the height difference between the first end 321 of the drag chain 320 and the base station control board 170, the less the part of the wire harness 310 exposed outside the first end 321 of the drag chain 320, and the better the protection effect of the drag chain 320 on the wire harness 310.

[0142] For example, the height difference between the first end 321 of the cable chain 320 and the base station control board 170 is less than 20cm. This height difference is calculated by comparing the height center of the first end 321 of the cable chain 320 with that of the base station control board 170. In other words, the height difference between the first end 321 of the cable chain 320 and the height center of the base station control board 170 is less than 20cm. Thus, regardless of whether the base station control board 170 is located slightly above or slightly below the first end 321 of the cable chain 320, the first end 321 of the cable chain 320 can be kept close to the area where the base station control board 170 is located. The portion of the wire harness 310 exposed outside the cable chain 320 is relatively small, and the cable chain 320 provides significant protection and constraint for the wire harness 310.

[0143] For example, the first end 321 of the cable chain 320 is located within the height area of ​​the base station control board 170. Alternatively, the bottom end of the base station control board 170 is located above the first end 321 of the cable chain 320, and the height difference between the first end 321 of the cable chain 320 and the height center of the base station control board 170 is less than 20 cm. Or, the top end of the base station control board 170 is located below the first end 321 of the cable chain 320, and the height difference between the first end 321 of the cable chain 320 and the height center of the base station control board 170 is less than 20 cm.

[0144] Continue to refer to Figure 14 The cable chain 320, from its first end 321 to its second end 322, includes a fixed portion 323 and a movable portion 324 connected in sequence. The fixed portion 323 is fixed to the base station body 100, for example, to the side wall of the main frame 130 facing the front cover 140. The movable portion 324 deforms as the transport mechanism 200 moves. Thus, the fixed portion 323 can secure the cable chain 320 within the base station body 100, while the movable portion 324 allows the cable chain 320 to move with the transport mechanism 200.

[0145] The fixed portion 323 of the cable chain 320 is connected to the main frame 130 of the base station body 100. When the transport mechanism 200 is located in the receiving groove 131 at the bottom of the base station body 100, the movable portion 324 of the cable chain 320 naturally hangs down below it (see...). Figure 12 (As shown). When the transport mechanism 200 is located on top of the base station body 100, the movable part 324 of the cable chain 320 bends to one side of the fixed part 323 of the cable chain 320. The fixed part 323 of the cable chain 320 does not affect the movement of the movable part 324 of the cable chain 320.

[0146] For example, the fixed portion 323 of the cable chain 320 can extend along the height direction of the base station body 100. In this way, the cable chain 320 is laid out along the height direction of the base station body 100, and the movable portion 324 of the cable chain 320 moves along the height direction of the base station body 100. This makes the installation and maintenance of the cable chain 320 easier. Furthermore, the cable chain 320 has better smoothness, allowing for smooth movement. In addition, the tensile force of the cable chain 320 is always along the height direction of the base station body 100, resulting in balanced force distribution throughout the cable chain 320, leading to higher reliability and a longer service life.

[0147] For example, the length of the fixed portion 323 of the cable chain 320 can account for 1 / 4 to 1 / 2 of the total length of the cable chain 320. This ensures that the fixed portion 323 of the cable chain 320 has sufficient length, resulting in a larger connection area between the fixed portion 323 and the base station body 100, making the cable chain 320 installation more stable and reliable. Furthermore, the fixed portion 323 of the cable chain 320 will not swing or deform, and its longer proportion reduces the deformation space of the cable chain 320, thus improving the stability of its movement.

[0148] In some examples, the movable portion 324 of the cable chain 320 may include multiple links (not shown in the figure) connected in sequence, with adjacent links being rotatably connected and the included angle between adjacent links being flexible. Thus, during the movement of the transport mechanism 200, the movable portion 324 of the cable chain 320 can bend and deform accordingly, and the wiring harness 310 passing through the cable chain 320 also bends and deforms accordingly to meet the power supply requirements of the base station body 100 to the transport mechanism 200.

[0149] The moving part 324 of the cable chain 320 is formed by multiple sequentially connected links. The links can be made of materials with high rigidity. For example, the links can be made of metals such as stainless steel or aluminum alloy. The high structural strength of the links meets the reliability requirements for long-term use.

[0150] The length of each link can be between 5mm and 20mm. This ensures that the link length is not too short, meeting the requirements for manufacturability and reliability. At the same time, the link length is also not too long, allowing for the bending and deformation of the moving part 324 of the cable chain 320. Furthermore, the shorter the link length, the smaller the bending radius of adjacent links, and the less space the cable chain 320 occupies after bending, which helps improve the space utilization of the base station.

[0151] For example, the length of each link can be 5mm, 6mm, 7mm, 8mm, 9mm, 10mm, 11mm, 12mm, 13mm, 14mm, 15mm, 16mm, 17mm, 18mm, 19mm, 20mm, etc.

[0152] In other examples, the movable portion 324 of the cable chain 320 may also be a one-piece molded flexible belt, provided that reliability requirements are met. For example, the movable portion 324 of the cable chain 320 may be a rubber belt or a silicone belt. This embodiment does not impose specific limitations in this regard.
