[0046] The embodiments of the present utility model are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the drawings. The embodiments described below by referring to the drawings are exemplary, and are intended to explain the present utility model, and cannot be understood as a limitation of the present utility model.

[0047] The cleaning base station 100 according to an embodiment of the present utility model is described below with reference to the drawings. As shown in Figures 1-14 The cleaning base station 100 according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes a station body 1, a replacement assembly and a driving assembly.

[0048] The station body 1 includes a placement area 11 for receiving a cleaning piece 200. The replacement assembly includes a first pick-and-place part 314a and a second pick-and-place part 315a, which can pick up and / or release the cleaning piece 200. The driving assembly is used to transport the first pick-and-place part 314a to the placement area 11, and is used to transport the second pick-and-place part 315a to the placement area 11.

[0049] When the cleaning unit 200 of the cleaning equipment has a lot of dirt, requires cleaning different areas, needs to clean different types of stains (stubborn stains, water stains), or needs to clean different types of floors (wood floors, tiles, carpets), the cleaning unit 200 of the cleaning equipment can be replaced. For example, if the bedroom (kitchen) was previously cleaned, and now the kitchen (bedroom) needs to be cleaned, the cleaning unit 200 of the cleaning equipment can be replaced.

[0050] When it is necessary to replace the cleaning component 200 of the cleaning equipment, the cleaning equipment can be brought into the station body 1, and the cleaning component 200 of the cleaning equipment can be unloaded into the placement area 11 of the station body 1. Subsequently, the cleaning equipment temporarily leaves the station body 1.

[0051] Then, the drive assembly moves the first pick-and-place unit 314a to the placement area 11, where the first pick-and-place unit 314a picks up the cleaning component 200 from the placement area 11. Next, the drive assembly moves the second pick-and-place unit 315a, which carries the cleaning component 200, to the placement area 11, where the second pick-and-place unit 315a unloads the cleaning component 200 onto the placement area 11 of the station body 1.

[0052] Finally, the cleaning equipment is brought back into station 1, and the replaced cleaning parts (cleaning parts 200 unloaded from the second pick-and-place section 315a) in placement area 11 are loaded onto the cleaning equipment. The cleaning equipment leaves station 1 to begin a new cleaning operation.

[0053] By replacing the cleaning component 200 of the cleaning equipment, a clean cleaning component 200 can be installed to continue the cleaning operation, thereby shortening the cleaning time and improving the cleaning efficiency of the cleaning equipment. Furthermore, the appropriate cleaning component 200 can be selected based on the area to be cleaned, the material of the floor being cleaned, and the type of stain, in order to perform the cleaning better and improve the cleaning effect.

[0054] After replacing the cleaning component 200, the removed cleaning component 200 can be cleaned for reuse. Therefore, when using the cleaning equipment, the cleaning operation does not need to be interrupted to clean the cleaning component 200, thus shortening the cleaning time and improving the cleaning efficiency of the cleaning equipment.

[0055] Therefore, the cleaning base station 100 according to the present invention can replace the cleaning component 200 of the cleaning equipment, thereby shortening the cleaning time of the cleaning equipment and improving the cleaning efficiency and cleaning effect of the cleaning equipment.

[0056] like Figures 1-14 As shown, the cleaning base station 100 according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes a station body 1, a replacement component, and a driving component.

[0057] The replacement assembly comprises a first pick-and-place part 314a and a second pick-and-place part 315a for placing the cleaning element 200, and has a first state and a second state. The drive assembly is arranged in the station body 1 and is connected to the replacement assembly. The drive assembly is further configured to drive the replacement assembly to move away from the placement area 11, so as to move the replacement assembly to the avoiding position. In this way, the structure of the cleaning station 100 can be made more reasonable.

[0058] Optionally, the replacement assembly has the first state when the replacement assembly is in the avoiding position. In the first state, the first pick-and-place part 314a is in a standby docking position. The drive assembly is further configured to drive the replacement assembly in the first state to move from the avoiding position to the placement area 11, so as to move the first pick-and-place part 314a from the standby docking position to a docking position capable of docking with the placement area 11.

[0059] The replacement assembly can be switched from the first state to the second state when the replacement assembly is in the avoiding position. In the second state, the second pick-and-place part 315a is in a standby docking position. The drive assembly is further configured to drive the replacement assembly in the second state to move from the avoiding position to the placement area 11, so as to move the second pick-and-place part 315a from the standby docking position to a docking position capable of docking with the placement area 11.

[0060] When it is necessary to replace the cleaning element 200 of the cleaning device, the cleaning device can be brought into the station body 1, and the cleaning element 200 of the cleaning device can be unloaded to the placement area 11 of the station body 1. Subsequently, the cleaning device temporarily leaves the station body 1.

[0061] Then, the drive assembly drives the replacement assembly in the first state to move from the avoiding position to the placement area 11, so as to move the first pick-and-place part 314a from the standby docking position to the docking position capable of docking with the placement area 11. In this way, the cleaning element 200 unloaded from the cleaning device can be placed in the first pick-and-place part 314a.

[0062] Subsequently, the drive assembly drives the replacement assembly in the second state to move from the avoiding position to the placement area 11, so as to move the second pick-and-place part 315a from the standby docking position to the docking position capable of docking with the placement area 11. In this way, the cleaning element 200 on the second pick-and-place part 315a can be unloaded to the placement area 11 of the station body 1.

[0063] Finally, the cleaning device is brought into the station body 1 again, and the new cleaning element (the cleaning element 200 unloaded from the second pick-and-place part 315a) in the placement area 11 is loaded onto the cleaning device. The cleaning device leaves the station body 1 to perform a new cleaning operation.

[0064] Optionally, when the replacement assembly is in the second state, the first pick-and-place portion 314a is located at the second storage position. When the replacement assembly is in the first state, the second pick-and-place portion 315a is located at the first storage position. In this way, the structure of the cleaning base station 100 can be made more reasonable. The first storage position and the second storage position can be the same, or the first storage position and the second storage position can be different.

[0065] The replacement assembly is switched between the first state and the second state in a rotating or moving manner. In this way, the first pick-and-place portion 314a and the second pick-and-place portion 315a can be alternately corresponded to the placement area 11 by moving the replacement assembly to the avoiding position and switching the replacement assembly between the first state and the second state, so that the first pick-and-place portion 314a and the second pick-and-place portion 315a can be further prevented from interfering with each other, and the structure of the cleaning base station 100 can be made more reasonable.

[0066] Optionally, the replacement assembly is rotatably arranged, so that when the replacement assembly is located at the avoiding position, the first pick-and-place portion 314a and the second pick-and-place portion 315a can be rotated to the standby docking position. The first pick-and-place portion 314a located at the standby docking position is opposite to the placement area 11 in the first direction, and the second pick-and-place portion 315a located at the standby docking position is opposite to the placement area 11 in the first direction. The extension direction of the rotation axis of the replacement assembly is at a first preset angle with the first direction.

[0067] In this way, the first pick-and-place portion 314a and the second pick-and-place portion 315a can be alternately corresponded to the placement area 11 by moving the replacement assembly to the avoiding position and rotating the replacement assembly, so that the first pick-and-place portion 314a and the second pick-and-place portion 315a can be further prevented from interfering with each other, and the structure of the cleaning base station 100 can be made more reasonable.

[0068] For example, when the cleaning device unloads the cleaning piece 200 to the placement area 11, the replacement assembly located at the avoiding position is rotated so as to rotate the first pick-and-place portion 314a to the standby docking position. Then, the first pick-and-place portion 314a (the replacement assembly) is moved in the first direction towards the direction adjacent to the placement area 11, so as to move the first pick-and-place portion 314a to the docking position.

[0069] After the cleaning piece 200 unloaded from the cleaning device is placed to the first pick-and-place portion 314a, the replacement assembly is moved in the first direction away from the placement area 11 so as to move to the avoiding position. Subsequently, the replacement assembly is rotated so as to rotate the second pick-and-place portion 315a to the standby docking position. Then, the second pick-and-place portion 315a (the replacement assembly) is moved in the first direction towards the direction adjacent to the placement area 11, so as to move the second pick-and-place portion 315a to the docking position, so as to unload the cleaning piece 200 on the second pick-and-place portion 315a to the placement area 11.

[0070] Optionally, the first taking and placing part 314a is located at the standby docking position, and the second taking and placing part 315a is located at the first storage position; or the second taking and placing part 315a is located at the standby docking position, and the first taking and placing part 314a is located at the second storage position. In this way, the first taking and placing part 314a and the second taking and placing part 315a can be prevented from interfering with each other, and the structure of the cleaning station 100 is more reasonable.

[0071] Optionally, the extending direction of the rotation axis of the replacement assembly and the first direction are perpendicular to each other. For example, the first direction is the up-down direction, and the extending direction of the rotation axis of the replacement assembly is the horizontal direction, or the first direction is the horizontal direction, and the extending direction of the rotation axis of the replacement assembly is the up-down direction.

[0072] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 , the station body 1 includes a bottom plate 12 and a top plate 13. The bottom plate 12 is provided with a placing area 11. For example, the upper surface of the bottom plate 12 is provided with a placing groove 121, and the placing groove 121 constitutes the placing area 11.

[0073] As shown in Figures 1-7 , the driving assembly includes a first scissor piece 21 and a first driving piece. The first end of the first scissor piece 21 is connected to the station body 1, and the second end of the first scissor piece 21 is connected to the replacement assembly so as to drive the replacement assembly to move by the first scissor piece 21. The first driving piece is connected to the first scissor piece 21 so as to drive the first scissor piece 21 to contract and open, thereby driving the replacement assembly to move. By driving the replacement assembly to move by the first scissor piece 21, the moving speed of the replacement assembly can be improved, thereby improving the efficiency of replacing the cleaning element 200.

[0074] For example, when the first driving piece drives the first scissor piece 21 to open, the second end of the first scissor piece 21 moves along the first direction towards the direction away from the first end of the first scissor piece 21, so as to drive the replacement assembly to move along the first direction towards the direction close to the placing area 11. In this way, the replacement assembly can be moved from the avoiding position along the first direction towards the direction close to the placing area 11, so as to drive the first taking and placing part 314a (the second taking and placing part 315a) to move to the docking position.

[0075] When the first driving piece drives the first scissor piece 21 to contract, the second end of the first scissor piece 21 moves along the first direction towards the direction close to the first end of the first scissor piece 21, so as to drive the replacement assembly to move along the first direction towards the direction away from the placing area 11. In this way, the first scissor piece 21 can drive the replacement assembly to move to the avoiding position.

[0076] Further, the first scissor member 21 can drive the replacement assembly to move in the first direction away from the placement area 11 when the first driving member drives the first scissor member 21 to open, and the first scissor member 21 can drive the replacement assembly to move in the first direction close to the placement area 11 when the first driving member drives the first scissor member 21 to contract.

[0077] Optionally, the upper end of the first scissor member 21 is arranged on the top plate 13, and the lower end of the first scissor member 21 is connected with the replacement assembly. Thus, the first driving member can drive the first scissor member 21 to contract and open in the up-down direction, and further drive the replacement assembly to move in the up-down direction, so that the structure of the cleaning base station 100 is more reasonable.

[0078] Optionally, the first scissor member 21 comprises a first arm 2121 and a second arm 2122 arranged in cross. The first end of the first arm 2121 is hinged to the station body 1, and the first end of the second arm 2122 is hinged to the first driving member and driven to move away from or close to the first end of the first arm 2121, so as to make the first scissor member 21 contract or open. Thus, the structure of the first scissor member 21 is more reasonable.

[0079] As shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the first scissor member 21 comprises a first half scissor unit 211 and a plurality of first scissor units 212, the first half scissor unit 211 is arranged below the plurality of first scissor units 212, and the first half scissor unit 211 and the plurality of first scissor units 212 are hinged in sequence. The lower ends of the two arms 2111 of the first half scissor unit 211 are hinged to the replacement assembly. The uppermost first scissor unit 212 comprises a first arm 2121 and a second arm 2122 hinged to each other, the upper end of the first arm 2121 is hinged to the top plate 13, and the upper end of the second arm 2122 is hinged to the first driving member.

[0080] Optionally, the upper end of the second arm 2122 is located behind the upper end of the first arm 2121. Thus, the first driving member can be more conveniently installed, and the size of the first scissor member 21 in the left-right direction can be reduced. For example, the height direction of the cleaning base station 100 (the station body 1) is consistent with the up-down direction, the width direction of the cleaning base station 100 (the station body 1) is consistent with the front-rear direction, and the length direction of the cleaning base station 100 (the station body 1) is consistent with the left-right direction. The up-down direction is shown by an arrow C in Figure 1 , the front-rear direction is shown by an arrow D in Figure 4 and Figure 6 , and the left-right direction is shown by an arrow E in Figure 1 .

[0081] As shown in Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 andFigure 7 As shown in FIG. 1, the first driving member includes a first screw rod 221, a first pushing part 222 and a first motor 23. The first screw rod 221 is rotatably arranged on the station body 1, and extends along a first horizontal direction. The first pushing part 222 is sleeved on the first screw rod 221, and threadedly cooperates with the first screw rod 221, so that the first pushing part 222 can move along the first horizontal direction. That is, the first pushing part 222 has an internal thread, and the first screw rod 221 has an external thread.

[0082] The first pushing part 222 is connected with the first scissor member 21, so that the first pushing part 222 pushes the first scissor member 21 to extend or retract along the up-down direction. The first motor 23 is connected with the first screw rod 221 to drive the first screw rod 221 to rotate. In this way, the structure of the first driving member and the cleaning base station 100 can be more reasonable.

[0083] Specifically, the first screw rod 221 is rotatably arranged on the top plate 13, and extends along a front-rear direction. For example, the lower surface of the top plate 13 is provided with a front mounting ear 131 and a rear mounting ear, the front end of the first screw rod 221 is rotatably arranged on the front mounting ear 131, and the rear end of the first screw rod 221 is rotatably arranged on the rear mounting ear. The first pushing part 222 is hingedly connected with the upper end of the second arm 2122 of the uppermost first scissor unit 212. The first motor 23 is arranged on the top plate 13, so as to more stably and more conveniently mount the first motor 23.

[0084] As shown in FIG. 1, Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 The first motor 23 is connected with a first gear 256, and the first screw rod 221 is connected with a second gear 257. The first gear 256 is engaged with the second gear 257, and the diameter of the first gear 256 is greater than that of the second gear 257. In this way, the first gear 256 and the second gear 257 can be used for speed reduction transmission, so as to more accurately control the rotating speed of the first screw rod 221, so as to more accurately control the displacement and height of the replacement assembly in the up-down direction through the first scissor member 21. By more accurately controlling the displacement and height of the replacement assembly in the up-down direction, the cleaning member 200 in the placement area 11 can be more accurately placed on the first taking-and-placing part 314a and the second taking-and-placing part 315a, and the cleaning member 200 on the first taking-and-placing part 314a and the second taking-and-placing part 315a can be unloaded to the placement area 11.

[0085] As shown in FIG. 1, Figures 1-4As shown in the embodiment of the utility model, the driving assembly further comprises a second scissor 26, the second scissor 26 and the first scissor 21 are arranged on the station body 1 along the second horizontal direction at intervals. The second horizontal direction is perpendicular to the first horizontal direction. The second scissor 26 is connected with the replacement assembly. The first driving part is connected with the second scissor 26 to drive the second scissor 26 to retract and open. Thus the first scissor 21 and the second scissor 26 can jointly drive the replacement assembly to move along the up-down direction, so that the replacement assembly moves along the up-down direction more stably.

[0086] Optionally, the first pushing part 222 extends along the second horizontal direction, the first pushing part 222 is connected with the second scissor 26, so that the first pushing part 222 pushes the second scissor 26 to retract and open along the up-down direction. Thus the structure of the driving assembly and the cleaning base station 100 can be more reasonable.

[0087] As shown in the embodiment of the utility model, the driving assembly further comprises a second scissor 26, the second scissor 26 and the first scissor 21 are arranged on the station body 1 along the second horizontal direction at intervals. The second horizontal direction is perpendicular to the first horizontal direction. The second scissor 26 is connected with the replacement assembly. The first driving part is connected with the second scissor 26 to drive the second scissor 26 to retract and open. Thus the first scissor 21 and the second scissor 26 can jointly drive the replacement assembly to move along the up-down direction, so that the replacement assembly moves along the up-down direction more stably. Figures 1-4 The station body 1 further comprises a first guide rod 141 and a second guide rod 142. The first guide rod 141 and the second guide rod 142 both extend along the first horizontal direction (for example, the front-back direction), that is, the first guide rod 141 and the second guide rod 142 are both parallel to the first screw rod 221. The first screw rod 221 is located between the first guide rod 141 and the second guide rod 142 in the second horizontal direction.

[0088] The lower surface of the top plate 13 is provided with a second front mounting ear, a second rear mounting ear 133, a third front mounting ear 135 and a third rear mounting ear 134. The front end of the first guide rod 141 is arranged on the second front mounting ear, and the rear end of the first guide rod 141 is arranged on the second rear mounting ear 133. The front end of the second guide rod 142 is arranged on the third front mounting ear 135, and the rear end of the second guide rod 142 is arranged on the third rear mounting ear 134.

[0089] The first pushing part 222 is sleeved on the first guide rod 141 and the second guide rod 142, that is, the first guide rod 141 and the second guide rod 142 both pass through the first pushing part 222 along the first horizontal direction. Thus the first guide rod 141 and the second guide rod 142 can limit the first pushing part 222 to move along the first horizontal direction more accurately, so that the first pushing part 222 pushes the first scissor 21 and the second scissor 26 to retract and open along the up-down direction more accurately and stably, and the replacement assembly moves along the up-down direction more accurately and stably.

[0090] As shown in the embodiment of the utility model, the driving assembly further comprises a second scissor 26, the second scissor 26 and the first scissor 21 are arranged on the station body 1 along the second horizontal direction at intervals. The second horizontal direction is perpendicular to the first horizontal direction. The second scissor 26 is connected with the replacement assembly. The first driving part is connected with the second scissor 26 to drive the second scissor 26 to retract and open. Thus the first scissor 21 and the second scissor 26 can jointly drive the replacement assembly to move along the up-down direction, so that the replacement assembly moves along the up-down direction more stably. Figures 5-7As shown in another embodiment of the utility model, the driving assembly further comprises a second scissor member 26, the second scissor member 26 and the first scissor member 21 are arranged on the station body 1 along the second horizontal direction at intervals. The second horizontal direction is perpendicular to the first horizontal direction. The second scissor member 26 is connected with the replacement assembly.

[0091] The first driving member further comprises a second screw rod 241 and a second pushing part 242. The second screw rod 241 is rotatably arranged on the station body 1, the second screw rod 241 extends along the first horizontal direction, and the second screw rod 241 is connected with the first motor 23 through a transmission member. The second pushing part 242 is sleeved on the second screw rod 241, and the second pushing part 242 is threadedly matched with the second screw rod 241, so that the second pushing part 242 can move along the first horizontal direction. That is to say, the second pushing part 242 has an internal thread, and the second screw rod 241 has an external thread. The second pushing part 242 is connected with the second scissor member 26, so that the second pushing part 242 drives the second scissor member 26 to stretch and contract along the up-down direction.

[0092] Therefore, the first scissor member 21 and the second scissor member 26 can jointly drive the replacement assembly to move along the up-down direction, so that the replacement assembly moves along the up-down direction more stably. Moreover, by connecting the second screw rod 241 with the first motor 23 through the transmission member, the power of the first motor 23 can be transmitted to the first scissor member 21 and the second scissor member 26 through the first screw rod 221 and the second screw rod 241, so as to improve the force transmission performance of the driving assembly.

[0093] As shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7 The transmission member comprises a first bevel gear 251, a second bevel gear 252, a third bevel gear 253, a fourth bevel gear 254 and a transmission shaft 255. The first motor 23 is connected with the first bevel gear 251, the second bevel gear 252 is connected with the first screw rod 221, and the first bevel gear 251 and the second bevel gear 252 are in meshing engagement. Therefore, the first motor 23 can drive the first screw rod 221 to rotate through the first bevel gear 251 and the second bevel gear 252.

[0094] The third bevel gear 253 is connected with the first bevel gear 251 through the transmission shaft 255, so that the third bevel gear 253 and the first bevel gear 251 rotate synchronously. The fourth bevel gear 254 is connected with the second screw rod 241, and the fourth bevel gear 254 and the third bevel gear 253 are in meshing engagement. Therefore, the first motor 23 drives the second screw rod 241 to rotate through the transmission shaft 255, the third bevel gear 253 and the fourth bevel gear 254 in sequence. Therefore, the structure of the transmission member and the cleaning base station 100 can be more reasonable.

[0095] As shown in Figures 5-7As shown, the station body 1 further comprises a first guide rod 141 and a second guide rod 142. The first guide rod 141 and the second guide rod 142 both extend along the first horizontal direction (e.g. the front-rear direction), i.e. the first guide rod 141 and the second guide rod 142 are both parallel to the first lead screw 221.

[0096] The first pushing part 222 is sleeved on the first guide rod 141, and the second pushing part 242 is sleeved on the second guide rod 142, i.e. the first guide rod 141 passes through the first pushing part 222 along the first horizontal direction, and the second guide rod 142 passes through the second pushing part 242 along the first horizontal direction. In this way, the first pushing part 222 can be limited by the first guide rod 141, and the second pushing part 242 can be limited by the second guide rod 142, so as to make the first pushing part 222 and the second pushing part 242 move more accurately along the first horizontal direction, and thus make the first pushing part 222 and the second pushing part 242 push the first scissor piece 21 and the second scissor piece 26 to stretch and contract more accurately and stably along the up-down direction, so as to make the replacement assembly move more accurately and stably along the up-down direction.

[0097] Optionally, the first guide rod 141 is located directly above the first pushing part 222, and the second guide rod 142 is located directly above the second pushing part 242. The front end of the first guide rod 141 and the front end of the first pushing part 222 are mounted on the same mounting lug, and the rear end of the first guide rod 141 and the rear end of the first pushing part 222 are mounted on the same mounting lug. The front end of the second guide rod 142 and the front end of the second pushing part 242 are mounted on the same mounting lug, and the rear end of the second guide rod 142 and the rear end of the second pushing part 242 are mounted on the same mounting lug.

[0098] As shown, Figure 7 the first motor 23 is connected with the first gear 256, and the second gear 257 is sleeved on the transmission shaft 255. The first gear 256 is engaged with the second gear 257, and the diameter of the first gear 256 is greater than that of the second gear 257. In this way, the first gear 256 and the second gear 257 can be used for speed reduction transmission, so as to more accurately control the rotation speed of the first lead screw 221 and the second lead screw 241, and thus more accurately control the displacement and height of the replacement assembly in the up-down direction through the first scissor piece 21 and the second scissor piece 26.

[0099] Optionally, the second horizontal direction can be the left-right direction, and the first scissor piece 21 is located on the right side of the second scissor piece 26.

[0100] As shown, Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown in

[0101] As shown in Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown in

[0102] As shown in Figure 7 、 Figure 8 、 Figure 10 、 Figure 12 and Figure 14 As shown in

[0103] As shown in

[0104] As shown in Figures 7-12 As shown in

[0105] The first protrusion 312 has a first receiving hole 314 which forms a first taking-and-placing part 314a, and the second protrusion 313 has a second receiving hole 315 which forms a second taking-and-placing part 315a. Thus, the cleaning element 200 can be placed more stably in the first taking-and-placing part 314a and the second taking-and-placing part 315a. Alternatively, as shown in Figures 9-12 , ,

[0106] , Figures 7-12 , ,

[0107] , ,

[0108] , ,

[0109] , Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figures 7-10As shown, the first protrusions 312 (the first receiving holes 314) are multiple, and the multiple first protrusions 312 (the first receiving holes 314) are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the body 311. The second protrusions 313 (the second receiving holes 315) are multiple, and the multiple second protrusions 313 (the second receiving holes 315) are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the body 311. In this way, the placing member 31 can place more cleaning members 200 unloaded from the cleaning device, and can provide more cleaning members 200 to be replaced, so as to further shorten the cleaning time of the cleaning device, further improve the cleaning efficiency of the cleaning device, and provide more types of cleaning members 200.

[0110] Optionally, the length direction of the body 311 is consistent with the left-right direction, that is, the body 311 extends along the left-right direction. The multiple first protrusions 312 (the first receiving holes 314) and the multiple second protrusions 313 (the second receiving holes 315) are one-to-one corresponding. In this way, the structure of the placing member 31 can be more reasonable.

[0111] As shown in Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 10 , Figure 12 and Figure 14 , the second driving member includes a second motor 32, and the second motor 32 is connected with the placing member 31. In this way, the structure of the replacement assembly can be more reasonable. Optionally, the second motor 32 is connected with the placing member 31 through a spline 33. For example, the spline 33 is an external spline and is sleeved on a motor shaft of the second motor 32, and the body 311 has an internal spline, and the spline 33 is matched with the internal spline of the body 311.

[0112] The replacement assembly further includes a locking member 34 and a third driving member. The locking member 34 is movably arranged between a locking position and an unlocking position. The third driving member is arranged in the driving assembly, and the third driving member is connected with the locking member 34 to drive the locking member 34 to move between the locking position and the unlocking position. The locking member 34 in the locking position is matched with the first taking-and-placing part 314a and the second taking-and-placing part 315a, and the locking member 34 in the unlocking position is separated from the first taking-and-placing part 314a and the second taking-and-placing part 315a. In this way, the cleaning member 200 can be placed more stably in the first taking-and-placing part 314a and the second taking-and-placing part 315a.

[0113] Optionally, the locking member 34 includes a magnetic or ferromagnetic component. The protrusion 210 of the cleaning member 200 includes a magnetic or ferromagnetic component. When in the locked position, the locking member 34 attracts the protrusion 210 of the cleaning member 200 placed in the first pick-up / placement portion 314a and the second pick-up / placement portion 315a, thereby more securely placing the cleaning member in the first pick-up / placement portion 314a and the second pick-up / placement portion 315a. When in the unlocked position, the locking member 34 disengages from the protrusion 210 of the cleaning member 200 placed in the first pick-up / placement portion 314a and the second pick-up / placement portion 315a, thereby unloading the cleaning member 200 to be replaced from the replacement assembly into the placement area 11 of the station body 1.

[0114] like Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, when the locking member 34 is in the locked position, the first receiving hole 314, the locking member 34 and the second receiving hole 315 are opposite each other in the vertical direction so that the locking member 34 attracts the protrusion 210 of the cleaning member 200 placed in the first receiving hole 314 and the second receiving hole 315.

[0115] Furthermore, the locking member 34 may also include a first gripper assembly and a second gripper assembly. In the locked position, the first gripper assembly of the locking member 34 grips the protrusion 210 of the cleaning member 200 placed in the first pick-up / placement portion 314a, and the second gripper assembly grips the protrusion 210 of the cleaning member 200 placed in the second pick-up / placement portion 315a, so as to more securely place the cleaning member 200 in the first pick-up / placement portion 314a and the second pick-up / placement portion 315a. In the unlocked position, the first gripper assembly of the locking member 34 disengages from the protrusion 210 of the cleaning member 200 placed in the first pick-up / placement portion 314a, and the second gripper assembly disengages from the protrusion 210 of the cleaning member 200 placed in the second pick-up / placement portion 315a, so as to unload the cleaning member 200 to be replaced from the replacement assembly into the placement area 11 of the station body 1.

[0116] like Figures 8-10 , Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, the replacement component has a receiving cavity 316, and the locking member 34 is movably disposed within the receiving cavity 316 between a locked position and an unlocked position. This allows for a more compact structure of the replacement component and the cleaning base station 100.

[0117] Optionally, the body 311 (placement 31) has a receiving cavity 316. For example, the body 311 includes a first portion 3111 and a second portion 3112 connected together, defining the receiving cavity 316 between the first portion 3111 and the second portion 3112. A first receiving hole 314 and a second receiving hole 315 both communicate with the receiving cavity 316 so that the locking member 34 can more easily and securely engage with the protrusion 210 of the cleaning member 200 housed within the first receiving hole 314 and the second receiving hole 315.

[0118] In one example of the utility model, the third driving member comprises a third screw rod, a third pushing part and a third motor. The third screw rod is rotatably arranged, and the third motor is connected with the third screw rod to drive the third screw rod to rotate. The third pushing part is sleeved on the third screw rod, and the third pushing part is threadedly matched with the third screw rod, so that the third pushing part can move along the length direction of the third screw rod. The third pushing part is connected with the locking member, so that the third pushing part drives the locking member to move between the locking position and the unlocking position. Thus, the structure of the third driving member and the cleaning base station 100 can be more reasonable.

[0119] Optionally, the locking member 34 is movably arranged in the accommodating cavity 316 along a second horizontal direction (for example, left-right direction) between the locking position and the unlocking position. The length direction of the third screw rod is consistent with the second horizontal direction. Thus, the structure of the replacement assembly and the cleaning base station 100 can be more reasonable.

[0120] As shown in Figure 8 , Figure 10 and Figure 13 , in another example of the utility model, the third driving member comprises a sleeve 35, a push rod screw 36 and a third motor 37. The sleeve 35 is rotatably arranged. The third motor 37 is connected with the sleeve 35 to drive the sleeve 35 to rotate. The sleeve 35 is sleeved on the push rod screw 36, that is, a part of the push rod screw 36 is matched in the sleeve 35.

[0121] The sleeve 35 is threadedly matched with the push rod screw 36, so that the push rod screw 36 can move along the length direction thereof. That is, the sleeve 35 has an internal thread, and the push rod screw 36 has an external thread. The push rod screw 36 is connected with the locking member 34, so that the push rod screw 36 drives the locking member 34 to move between the locking position and the unlocking position. Thus, the structure of the replacement assembly and the cleaning base station 100 can be more reasonable.

[0122] As shown in Figures 8-10 , Figure 13 and Figure 14 , at least a part of the push rod screw 36 is located in the accommodating cavity 316, so that the push rod screw 36 is more convenient and easier to be connected with the locking member 34 located in the accommodating cavity 316. Thus, the structure of the replacement assembly and the cleaning base station 100 can be more compact and reasonable.

[0123] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown in FIG. 1, the second motor 32 and the third motor 37 are arranged along a second horizontal direction (e.g., left-right direction) and the placing member 31 extends along the second horizontal direction. The placing member 31 is sleeved on the second motor 32 and the third motor 37. In this way, the integrity of the replacement assembly can be enhanced, the replacement assembly can be conveniently installed and dismounted, and the replacement assembly can be more stable and compact.

[0124] Optionally, the placing member 31 has a first end portion 312 and a second end portion 313 opposite in the second horizontal direction, the first end portion 312 is sleeved on the second motor 32, and the second end portion 313 is sleeved on the third motor 37. In this way, the structure of the replacement assembly and the cleaning base station 100 can be more reasonable.

[0125] Further optionally, the first end portion 312 is provided with one of a first limiting groove 3121 and a first limiting protrusion 321, and the second motor 32 is provided with the other one of the first limiting groove 3121 and the first limiting protrusion 321. The first limiting groove 3121 and the first limiting protrusion 321 both extend along the rotation circumferential direction of the motor shaft of the second motor 32 (the placing member 31), and the first limiting protrusion 321 is relatively rotatably fitted in the first limiting groove 3121. In this way, the placing member 31 and the second motor 32 can be more stably fitted, so that the structure of the replacement assembly can be more stable and reasonable.

[0126] The second end portion 313 is provided with one of a second limiting groove 3131 and a second limiting protrusion 371, and the third motor 37 is provided with the other one of the second limiting groove 3131 and the second limiting protrusion 371. The second limiting groove 3131 and the second limiting protrusion 371 both extend along the rotation circumferential direction of the motor shaft of the third motor 37 (the placing member 31), and the second limiting protrusion 371 is relatively rotatably fitted in the second limiting groove 3131. In this way, the placing member 31 and the third motor 37 can be more stably fitted, so that the structure of the replacement assembly can be more stable and reasonable.

[0127] As shown in FIG. 1, Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 , the first scissor member 21 is connected with the second motor 32, so that the first scissor member 21 drives the second motor 32 and the placing member 31 to move up and down. The second scissor member 26 is connected with the third motor, so that the second scissor member 26 drives the third driving member and the locking member 34 to move up and down. In this way, the replacement assembly can be more stably moved up and down.

[0128] Optionally, the lower end portions of the two arms 2111 of the first half scissor unit 211 are hinged to the second motor 32, and the lower end portions of the two arms 2611 of the second half scissor unit 261 are hinged to the third motor 37. In this way, the structure of the cleaning base station 100 can be more reasonable.

[0129] As shown in Figures 8-10 , Figure 13 and Figure 14 , the locking member 34 is movably arranged in the accommodating cavity 316 along the second horizontal direction between the locking position and the unlocking position, and the push rod screw 36 extends along the second horizontal direction so that the push rod screw 36 moves along the second horizontal direction. Thus, the structure of the replacement assembly and the cleaning base station 100 can be more reasonable.

[0130] As shown in Figures 8-10 , Figure 13 and Figure 14 , the accommodating cavity 316 comprises a limiting section 317, and the limiting section 317 has a polygonal cross section. For example, the cross section of the limiting section 317 is perpendicular to the second horizontal direction. The cross section of one of the push rod screw 36 and the locking member 34 is polygonal. For example, the cross section of the one of the push rod screw 36 and the locking member 34 is perpendicular to the second horizontal direction. The one of the push rod screw 36 and the locking member 34 is fitted in the limiting section 317.

[0131] Thus, when the push rod screw 36 moves along the length direction thereof, the rotation of the push rod screw 36 can be further avoided, so that the push rod screw 36 moves along the length direction thereof more stably, and the locking member 34 moves between the locking position and the unlocking position more stably, so that the cleaning member 200 can be better placed and unloaded.

[0132] Optionally, the cross section of the limiting section 317 is quadrangular, and the cross section of the one of the push rod screw 36 and the locking member 34 is quadrangular. As shown in Figures 8-10 , Figure 13 and Figure 14 , the one part of the push rod screw 36 is provided with a mounting through hole, and the locking member 34 is mounted in the mounting through hole.

[0133] In another embodiment of the present application, the first taking and placing part 314a and the second taking and placing part 315a are independently arranged. Thus, the first taking and placing part 314a and the second taking and placing part 315a can be alternately located at the docking position by driving the first taking and placing part 314a and the second taking and placing part 315a respectively, so that the first taking and placing part 314a and the second taking and placing part 315a correspond to the placing area 11 alternately, and the first taking and placing part 314a and the second taking and placing part 315a can be further prevented from interfering with each other, so that the structure of the cleaning base station 100 can be more reasonable.

[0134] For example, when the cleaning device unloads the cleaning element 200 to the placing area 11, the first taking-and-placing part 314a moves to the docking position so as to place the cleaning element 200 unloaded from the cleaning device onto the first taking-and-placing part 314a. At this time, the second taking-and-placing part 315a is away from the docking position. Then, the first taking-and-placing part 314a is away from the docking position, and the second taking-and-placing part 315a moves to the docking position so as to unload the cleaning element 200 on the second taking-and-placing part 315a to the placing area 11.

[0135] The driving assembly comprises a first driving part for driving the first taking-and-placing part 314a and a second driving part for driving the second taking-and-placing part 315a. Alternatively, the driving assembly is switchably connected to the first taking-and-placing part 314a and the second taking-and-placing part 315a through a switching device (for example, a clutch).

[0136] In still another embodiment of the present application, the first taking-and-placing part 314a and the second taking-and-placing part 315a are rotatably arranged around a first axis, and the first axis extends in a first direction. The first taking-and-placing part 314a located at the docking position is opposite to the placing area 11 in the first direction, and the second taking-and-placing part 315a located at the docking position is opposite to the placing area 11 in the first direction.

[0137] Therefore, the first taking-and-placing part 314a and the second taking-and-placing part 315a can be alternately located at the docking position by rotating the first taking-and-placing part 314a and the second taking-and-placing part 315a, so that the first taking-and-placing part 314a and the second taking-and-placing part 315a are alternately corresponding to the placing area 11, thereby further preventing the first taking-and-placing part 314a and the second taking-and-placing part 315a from interfering with each other, so as to make the structure of the cleaning base station 100 more reasonable.

[0138] For example, when the cleaning device unloads the cleaning element 200 to the placing area 11, the first taking-and-placing part 314a and the second taking-and-placing part 315a are rotated so as to make the first taking-and-placing part 314a located at the docking position and the second taking-and-placing part 315a away from the docking position (for example, located at the first storage position), and place the cleaning element 200 unloaded from the cleaning device onto the first taking-and-placing part 314a. Then, the first taking-and-placing part 314a and the second taking-and-placing part 315a are rotated so as to make the second taking-and-placing part 315a located at the docking position and the first taking-and-placing part 314a away from the docking position (for example, located at the second storage position), and unload the cleaning element 200 on the second taking-and-placing part 315a to the placing area 11.

[0139] Alternatively, the first direction can be a vertical direction (up-down direction) or a horizontal direction.

[0140] In a further embodiment of the present application, the first pick-and-place 314a in the docking position is opposite the placement area 11 in the first direction, and the second pick-and-place 315a in the docking position is opposite the placement area 11 in the first direction. The first pick-and-place 314a and the second pick-and-place 315a are movably arranged along a second direction, and the second direction is at a second preset angle with respect to the first direction.

[0141] Thus, by reciprocally moving the first pick-and-place 314a and the second pick-and-place 315a along the second direction, the first pick-and-place 314a and the second pick-and-place 315a are alternately in the docking position, so that the first pick-and-place 314a and the second pick-and-place 315a are alternately corresponding to the placement area 11, thereby further preventing the first pick-and-place 314a and the second pick-and-place 315a from interfering with each other, so as to make the structure of the cleaning base station 100 more reasonable.

[0142] For example, after the cleaning device unloads the cleaning piece 200 to the placement area 11, the first pick-and-place 314a and the second pick-and-place 315a are moved along the second direction towards one side (e.g., one of the left and right sides or one of the upper and lower sides), so that the first pick-and-place 314a is in the docking position and the second pick-and-place 315a is out of the docking position (e.g., in the first storage position), and the cleaning piece 200 unloaded from the cleaning device is placed on the first pick-and-place 314a.

[0143] Then, the first pick-and-place 314a and the second pick-and-place 315a are moved along the second direction towards the other side (e.g., the other of the left and right sides or the other of the upper and lower sides), so that the second pick-and-place 315a is in the docking position and the first pick-and-place 314a is out of the docking position (e.g., in the second storage position), so as to unload the cleaning piece 200 on the second pick-and-place 315a to the placement area 11.

[0144] Optionally, the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to each other. For example, the first direction is the up-down direction and the second direction is the horizontal direction, or the first direction is the horizontal direction and the second direction is the up-down direction.

[0145] Based on the same inventive concept, the present application also provides a cleaning system, which comprises a cleaning base station 100 and a cleaning device. The cleaning base station 100 comprises a station body 1, a replacement assembly, and a driving assembly. The station body 1 comprises a placement area 11 for receiving a cleaning piece 200. The replacement assembly comprises a first pick-and-place 314a and a second pick-and-place 315a, which are capable of picking up and / or releasing the cleaning piece 200. The driving assembly is used to transport the first pick-and-place 314a to the placement area 11 and to transport the second pick-and-place 315a to the placement area 11.

[0146] The cleaning device comprises at least a cleaning element 200, and the cleaning device can enter the base body of the cleaning base station 100, so that the cleaning element 200 in the cleaning device can enter the placement area 11, the cleaning device can detach the first cleaning element from the cleaning device, and then the cleaning device leaves the cleaning base station. The first pick-and-place part 314a of the replacement component is used to pick up the first cleaning element detached from the cleaning device, and the second pick-and-place part 315a of the replacement component is used to place the second cleaning element 200 in the placement area. The cleaning device enters the base station again, installs the second cleaning element 200 in the placement area thereon, and performs a cleaning operation using the second cleaning element 200.

[0147] The first cleaning element and the second cleaning element can be different in material or color. The difference between the first cleaning element and the second cleaning element is not limited to color and material, but can also be a recognizable mark carried by the cleaning element, and the cleaning device or the base station identifies the cleaning element by identifying the mark carried thereby. In some embodiments, the first cleaning element and the second cleaning element correspond to different cleaning areas. For example, the cleaning device uses the first cleaning element to clean the kitchen, and uses the second cleaning element to clean the bedroom. In other embodiments, the first cleaning element and the second cleaning element correspond to different cleaning area materials, for example, the first cleaning element is used to clean a ceramic tile area, and the second cleaning element is used to clean a wooden material floor area. There can be more cleaning elements according to the division of the cleaning area, which is not described here, as long as different cleaning elements can realize area cleaning. In some embodiments, multiple cleaning elements corresponding to the same area are provided, and when the cleaning element needs to be cleaned, the cleaning element that needs to be cleaned can be replaced with a new clean cleaning element in the base station, and the cleaning device directly carries the replaced new cleaning element for cleaning, without the need to wait for the cleaning process.

[0148] In some embodiments, the cleaning element can be a circular mop or a rolling mop. In other embodiments, the cleaning device can carry multiple mops or rolling mops at a time, and the corresponding placement area is also multiple, and the cleaning base station can replace multiple cleaning elements at a time, or can replace only part of the cleaning elements.
