Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of base station technology, specifically to a base station and a cleaning system. Background Technology
[0002] With the improvement of living standards, cleaning systems are widely used due to their high convenience. A cleaning system includes cleaning equipment and a base station. The cleaning equipment cleans the surface to be cleaned, and after completing its cleaning work and returning to the base station, it performs self-cleaning of its components. Room temperature water is typically used for cleaning, which is not very effective. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, this disclosure provides a base station and a cleaning system to improve the problem that the existing base station uses room temperature water to clean the cleaning components, resulting in poor cleaning effect.
[0004] To achieve the above and other related objectives, a first aspect of this disclosure provides a base station, including a cleaning tray, a water inlet passage, and a heating component. The cleaning tray contains a cleaning tank configured to hold liquid for cleaning cleaning components of a cleaning device. The water inlet passage includes a water inlet and a water outlet; the water outlet is connected to the cleaning tank, and the water inlet is connected to a water source, which may be a water tank of the base station or an external water source connected to the base station. The heating component is disposed within the cleaning tank to heat the liquid within the cleaning tank.
[0005] The water inlet channel introduces water from a source into the cleaning tank for soaking and cleaning the components. The water source varies depending on the base station. For example, if the base station does not have a water tank, the water source is an external water source connected to the base station, such as municipal water or other water sources connected to the base station. If the base station has a water tank, the water source is either the water tank or an external water source connected to the base station. The water inlet channel's connection to the water source allows for a continuous influx of water into the cleaning tank, replenishing the water level and facilitating the drainage of wastewater, thus improving the cleanliness of the liquid and ultimately enhancing the cleaning effect on the components.
[0006] The heating element is installed inside the cleaning tank. It heats the liquid in the tank, increasing its temperature and improving the cleaning effect on the items being cleaned. Since the liquid stays in the cleaning tank for a longer period, compared to installing an instant heating element in the water inlet passage, using an internal heating element can more effectively raise the liquid temperature, resulting in better cleaning and sterilization effects. Using an internal heating element also reduces the power consumption of the heating element and lowers the requirements for the power supply system.
[0007] In an exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, the base station includes a wastewater tank and an overflow outlet. The wastewater tank is configured to contain wastewater. The overflow outlet connects a cleaning tank and the wastewater tank.
[0008] The overflow outlet connects the cleaning tank and the sewage tank, allowing the sewage in the cleaning tank to flow into the sewage tank, thus keeping the water in the cleaning tank clean and improving the cleaning effect on the cleaning parts.
[0009] In an exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, the base station includes a filter screen disposed at an overflow outlet and / or a sewage tank, through which sewage flows into the sewage tank.
[0010] Filter screens can be installed inside the overflow outlet to intercept larger contaminants. Filter screens can also be installed inside or above the wastewater tank to intercept and filter larger contaminants while ensuring that filtered wastewater flows into the tank. Filter screens with different pore sizes can also be installed simultaneously on the overflow outlet and the wastewater tank to ensure optimal filtration efficiency.
[0011] In an exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, the water inlet passage includes one or more water inlet outlets. The water flow channel formed between the water inlet outlet and the overflow outlet covers at least half of the cleaning tank.
[0012] Water flows into the cleaning tank through the inlet outlet and then flows out through the overflow outlet. The water flows at least from the inlet outlet to the overflow outlet. By separating the inlet outlet and the overflow outlet, the water flow channel between them covers half of the cleaning tank. Clean water enters the cleaning tank to flush it and pushes the wastewater to the overflow outlet, which helps maintain the cleanliness of the cleaning tank, reduces the accumulation of dirt, and thus ensures the cleaning effect on the cleaned parts.
[0013] In an exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, the water inlet passage includes a water inlet outlet, and the water inlet outlet and the overflow outlet are respectively located on both sides of the cleaning tank.
[0014] Clean water flows into the cleaning tank through the inlet outlet, and then flows through the tank to the overflow outlet. The water flow throughout the entire cleaning tank helps to carry dirt and grime to the overflow outlet, reducing dirt accumulation and maintaining cleanliness. The water flow also flushes the entire cleaning tank, reducing dirt residue on the tank walls.
[0015] In an exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, an overflow outlet is disposed in the middle of the cleaning tank. The water inlet passage includes a plurality of water inlet outlets, which are arranged along the length of the cleaning tank, and at least two water inlet outlets are disposed on both sides of the cleaning tank.
[0016] Clean water flows into the cleaning tank through multiple inlets and converges in the center. During the water flow, wastewater and dirt are pushed towards the overflow outlet in the center of the tank, facilitating their discharge. The overflow outlet is located in the middle of the cleaning tank, reducing the distance dirt travels from the sides to the center, thus better carrying it to the overflow outlet, improving the cleanliness of the water in the tank, and consequently enhancing the cleaning effect on the parts being cleaned.
[0017] In an exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, an overflow outlet is disposed at the long side of the cleaning tank, and the length of the overflow outlet is the same as the length of the long side of the cleaning tank.
[0018] The overflow outlet has the same length as the long side of the cleaning tank, meaning it runs through the length of the cleaning tank. This makes it easier for wastewater to drain from the cleaning tank, and dirt in the cleaning tank can also be discharged along with the wastewater, thus ensuring the cleanliness of the cleaning tank.
[0019] In an exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, the water inlet passage includes a plurality of water inlet outlets, which are located above the overflow outlet.
[0020] By placing the inlet outlet above the overflow outlet, on the one hand, the obstruction of the overflow outlet by the inlet outlet is reduced, ensuring the sewage discharge efficiency of the overflow outlet and facilitating sewage discharge; on the other hand, the inlet outlet being higher than the overflow outlet improves the situation where sewage would flow back to the inlet outlet, ensuring the cleanliness of the inlet channel and preventing sewage from contaminating the clean water in the inlet outlet.
[0021] In an exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, the base station includes a sealing portion, which is at least disposed on the outer periphery of the cleaning tank that is not connected to the overflow port, so as to reduce the overflow of liquid or water vapor from the outer periphery of the cleaning tank.
[0022] The sealing part is located on the outer periphery of the cleaning tank to reduce the overflow of water or moisture from the outer periphery of the cleaning tank, keep other areas of the cleaning tray dry, and reduce the contamination of other areas of the cleaning tray by dirt and other contaminants.
[0023] In an exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, the sealing portion extends from the outside of the cleaning tank into the cleaning tank. The sealing portion has multiple notches that penetrate the sealing portion and extend into the cleaning tank from one side.
[0024] The sealing part extends into the cleaning tank, thereby covering the edge of the cleaning tank. The water in the cleaning tank is in a flowing state, which causes water to splash up from the edge of the cleaning tank frequently. The sealing part blocks the water splashed up from the edge of the cleaning tank, allowing the water to fall back into the cleaning tank and preventing water from overflowing from the edge of the cleaning tank.
[0025] To ensure a better seal, the sealing element, in conjunction with the cleaning equipment, covers the cleaning tank. The sealing element can be made of materials such as plastic, rubber, or silicone to better fit the cleaning equipment. The relatively long cleaning tank and the correspondingly long sealing element make it difficult for the sealing element to deform and adhere properly to the cleaning equipment. By creating a notch extending through one side of the sealing element into the cleaning tank, the portion of the sealing element extending into the tank is divided into multiple segments. This facilitates deformation of the sealing element, allowing for a better fit with the cleaning equipment and improving the sealing effect.
[0026] In an exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, the base station includes a base, and a cleaning disc is assembled on the base.
[0027] The cleaning tray is equipped with a heating element. To ensure the service life of the cleaning tray, a high-temperature resistant material, such as high-temperature resistant plastic, can be used. High-temperature resistant plastic is usually more expensive. The base does not directly contact the heating element, so a conventional base material, such as ordinary plastic, can be used. Ordinary materials are cheaper than high-temperature resistant plastic. By designing the base and cleaning tray separately and then assembling them separately, the cost of the base station can be reduced.
[0028] A second aspect of this disclosure provides a cleaning system, including cleaning equipment and a base station of any one of the above.
[0029] After cleaning the surface, the cleaning equipment can be automatically or manually placed at the base station. The base station provides storage, charging, and cleaning services for the equipment. The cleaning components are immersed in a cleaning tank. A heating element is installed in the cleaning tank at the base station to heat the water, improving the cleaning effect and efficiency.
[0030] In an exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, the cleaning device includes a cleaning component, which interferes with the bottom wall of the cleaning tank when cleaning in the tank.
[0031] The cleaning components interfere with the bottom wall of the cleaning tank, allowing them to scrub and clean the tank, thus improving its cleanliness. During the cleaning process, the cleaning components also agitate the water flow within the tank, causing dirt to flow out with the wastewater through the overflow outlet, preventing dirt buildup and further enhancing the cleanliness of the tank.
[0032] In combination with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this disclosure are as follows:
[0033] Existing base stations typically use room temperature water to clean components, resulting in unsatisfactory cleaning effectiveness. The base station disclosed herein includes a cleaning tank, a water inlet passage, and a heating component. The water inlet passage introduces water from a water source into the cleaning tank for immersion cleaning of the components. The heating component is located within the cleaning tank and heats the liquid inside, thereby increasing the temperature of the liquid and improving the cleaning effect on the components. Compared to installing an instant heating component in the water inlet passage, installing a heating component within the cleaning tank can better raise the temperature of the liquid in the tank, thus achieving better cleaning and sterilization effects.

[0052] The following specific examples illustrate the implementation of this disclosure. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this disclosure from the content disclosed in this specification. This disclosure can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and various details in this specification can also be modified or changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of this disclosure.

[0053] When numerical ranges are given in the embodiments, it should be understood that, unless otherwise stated in this disclosure, both endpoints of each numerical range and any value between the two endpoints may be selected. Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in this disclosure, as well as the prior art known to those skilled in the art and the descriptions in this disclosure, may be implemented using any prior art methods, apparatus, and materials similar to or equivalent to the methods, apparatus, and materials in the embodiments of this disclosure.
[0054] It should be noted that the terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "middle," and "one" used in this specification are merely for clarity of description and are not intended to limit the scope of this disclosure. Any changes or adjustments to their relative relationships, without substantially altering the technical content, shall also be considered within the scope of this disclosure.
[0055] The cleaning equipment is used to clean the surfaces to be cleaned. After cleaning, it needs to be moved manually or automatically to the base station for further cleaning. Existing base stations typically use room temperature water to clean the components, which is not very effective.
[0056] In view of this, the present disclosure provides a base station and a cleaning system. By installing a heating component 400 in the cleaning tank 110 of the base station, the heating component 400 heats the water in the cleaning tank 110. Since the water stays in the cleaning tank 110 for a long time, the heating component 400 can heat the water to a higher temperature, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency and cleaning effect of the cleaning components.
[0057] The cleaning system disclosed herein includes cleaning equipment and a base station. The cleaning equipment can be a floor scrubber, a sweeper-mop combo, a sweeper, a cleaning robot, etc., and the cleaning components of the cleaning equipment can be rollers, cloths, etc. The cleaning equipment cleans the surface to be cleaned. After cleaning, the cleaning equipment is moved manually or automatically to the base station for temporary placement, charging, and cleaning.
[0058] Please see Figures 1 to 8 The first aspect of this disclosure provides a base station, which includes a cleaning tray 100, a water inlet passage 200, and a heating component 400. The cleaning tray 100 has a cleaning tank 110 for containing liquid. At least partially, cleaning components of a cleaning device are immersed in the cleaning tank 110, thereby cleaning the cleaning components using the liquid in the cleaning tank 110. The liquid in the cleaning tank 110 can be clean water, water with detergent, or other liquids suitable for cleaning the cleaning components. The water inlet passage 200 includes a water inlet and a water outlet 210. The water outlet 210 is connected to the cleaning tank 110, and the water inlet is connected to a water source, which is the base station's water tank 300 and / or an external water source for the base station. The heating component 400 is disposed within the cleaning tank 110 to heat the liquid within the cleaning tank 110.
[0059] A heating element 400 is installed inside the cleaning tank 110. The heating element 400 heats the liquid inside the cleaning tank 110, thereby increasing the temperature of the liquid and improving the cleaning effect on the parts being cleaned, especially stubborn stains such as oil. The liquid stays in the cleaning tank 110 for a longer period. Compared to installing an instant heating element in the water inlet passage 200, installing the heating element 400 inside the cleaning tank 110 can better increase the temperature of the liquid, thus achieving better cleaning and sterilization effects. It also prevents the water temperature in the cleaning tank 110 from dropping due to insufficient heating, ensuring continuous sterilization and cleaning effects.
[0060] A heating element 400 is installed inside the cleaning tank 110. Compared to installing an instant heating element in the water inlet passage 200, the heating element 400 requires less power to achieve the same water temperature, thus reducing the requirements on the power supply mechanism for the heating element 400. The cleaning tank 110 has a larger volume, allowing for the placement of a larger heating element 400 as needed. This ensures the heating power and heating effect of the heating element 400, enabling the water temperature inside the cleaning tank 110 to reach 95–100°C, thereby guaranteeing sterilization and disinfection effects and improving cleaning efficiency.
[0061] The water inlet passage 200 of this disclosure directs water from a water source into a cleaning tank 110 for soaking and cleaning the cleaning components. At least partially, the cleaning components are immersed in the cleaning tank 110. Movement of the cleaning components ensures that different parts of them are submerged in the cleaning tank 110, guaranteeing thorough cleaning. The relative movement of the cleaning components with the water during movement causes the water in the cleaning tank 110 to flush the components, thus ensuring effective cleaning. The water source varies depending on the base station. For example, if the base station does not have a water tank 300, the water source is an external water source connected to the base station, such as municipal water or other water sources connected to the base station. If the base station has a water tank 300, the water source is either the water tank 300 or an external water source connected to the base station. The water inlet passage 200 is connected to a water source, which allows water to continuously enter the cleaning tank 110 to replenish the water in the cleaning tank 110. At the same time, it facilitates the discharge of sewage in the cleaning tank 110, improves the cleanliness of the liquid in the cleaning tank 110, and thus improves the cleaning effect on the cleaning parts.
[0062] Please see Figure 1 In one embodiment, a water tank 300 is provided on the base station, and the water source is the water tank 300 on the base station. The water in the water tank 300 flows into the cleaning tank 110 through the water inlet channel to clean the cleaning components.
[0063] The heating component 400 can be an electric heating wire, an electric heating film, an electrode heating element, a PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) heater, etc., to heat the water in the cleaning tank 110.
[0064] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 4 In one embodiment, the base station includes a sewage tank 500 and an overflow port 600. The sewage tank 500 is used to contain and temporarily store sewage, and the overflow port 600 connects the cleaning tank 110 and the sewage tank 500, so that the sewage in the cleaning tank 110 flows into the sewage tank 500, thereby keeping the water in the cleaning tank 110 clean and improving the cleaning effect on the cleaning components.
[0065] Please see Figure 2In one embodiment, the overflow port 600 is located on the long side of the cleaning tank 110. When cleaning the cleaning component, the component rotates or reciprocates, thereby causing the water in the cleaning tank 110 to move along the width of the cleaning tank 110; in other words, the water in the cleaning tank 110 continuously flows towards the long side of the cleaning tank 110. By locating the overflow port 600 on the long side of the cleaning tank 110, wastewater discharge is facilitated.
[0066] The overflow port 600 is inclined downward from the cleaning tank 110 toward the sewage tank 500 to facilitate the flow of sewage from the cleaning tank 110 to the sewage tank 500 and prevent sewage from flowing back into the cleaning tank 110.
[0067] In one embodiment, the base station includes a water level detection device and a sewage pumping device. The water level detection device is installed in the sewage tank 500 and detects the water level in the sewage tank 500. When the water level in the sewage tank 500 is higher than a preset threshold, the sewage pumping device of the base station is activated to pump out and discharge the sewage, for example, directly into a sewer.
[0068] Of course, as an alternative, the base station may not include a sewage pumping device, and the sewage in the sewage tank 500 may be emptied manually.
[0069] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 4 In one embodiment, the base station includes a filter screen 510, which is disposed at an overflow port 600 and / or a sewage tank 500. Sewage in the sewage tank 500 flows into the sewage tank 500 after passing through the filter screen 510. The filter screen 510 can be disposed within the overflow port 600 to intercept larger pollutants. The filter screen 510 can also be disposed within or above the sewage tank 500 to intercept and filter larger pollutants, such as solid particles and hair, and ensure that the filtered sewage flows into the sewage tank 500. Filter screens 510 can also be disposed simultaneously at both the overflow port 600 and the sewage tank 500, with different pore sizes to ensure filtration effectiveness and facilitate the discharge of sewage from the sewage tank 500.
[0070] In one embodiment, the water inlet passage 200 includes one or more water inlet outlets 210. The water flow channel formed between the water inlet outlet 210 and the overflow outlet 600 covers at least half of the cleaning tank 110.
[0071] Water flows into the cleaning tank 110 through the inlet outlet 210 and then flows out of the cleaning tank 110 through the overflow outlet 600. The water flows at least from the inlet outlet 210 to the overflow outlet 600. By setting the inlet outlet 210 and the overflow outlet 600 at different locations in the cleaning tank 110, the water flow channel between the inlet outlet 210 and the overflow outlet 600 covers half of the cleaning tank 110. After clean water enters the cleaning tank 110, it flushes the cleaning tank 110 and pushes the sewage and dirt to the overflow outlet 600. This facilitates the flow of sewage and dirt to the sewage tank 500 through the overflow outlet 600, thereby maintaining the cleanliness of the cleaning tank 110, reducing the accumulation of dirt in the cleaning tank 110, and ensuring the cleaning effect on the cleaning components.
[0072] In one embodiment, the water inlet passage 200 includes a water inlet outlet 210, which is located on one side of the cleaning tank 110, along with an overflow outlet 600. Clean water flows into the cleaning tank 110 through the water inlet outlet 210, and then flows within the cleaning tank 110 to the overflow outlet 600. The water flow throughout the entire cleaning tank 110 helps to carry dirt within the cleaning tank 110 to the overflow outlet 600, where it flows out, reducing dirt accumulation within the cleaning tank 110 and helping to maintain its cleanliness. The water flow also flushes the entire cleaning tank 110, reducing dirt residue on the walls of the cleaning tank 110.
[0073] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 In one embodiment, the overflow port 600 is located in the middle of the cleaning tank 110. The water inlet passage 200 includes a plurality of water inlet outlets 210, which are arranged along the length of the cleaning tank 110, and at least two water inlet outlets 210 are located on both sides of the cleaning tank 110.
[0074] The water inlet outlet 210 can be provided with two, three, four, or more. For example, with two water inlet outlets 210, located on opposite sides of the cleaning tank 110, clean water flows into the cleaning tank 110 through multiple water inlet outlets 210 and converges towards the center of the cleaning tank 110. During the water flow, sewage and dirt are pushed towards the overflow outlet 600 in the center of the cleaning tank 110, thus facilitating the discharge of sewage and dirt from the overflow outlet 600. The overflow outlet 600 is located in the center of the cleaning tank 110, resulting in a shorter movement distance for dirt from the sides of the cleaning tank 110 to the center, which is more conducive to carrying dirt to the overflow outlet 600, improving the cleanliness of the water in the cleaning tank 110, and thus enhancing the cleaning effect on the cleaning components.
[0075] Please see Figure 7 and Figure 8For example, the water inlet outlet 210 can be provided with 4 or 6 outlets, etc. The water inlet outlet 210 is arranged along the length of the cleaning tank 110 and symmetrically set on both sides of the overflow outlet 600 to ensure the cleanliness of the cleaning tank 110.
[0076] Please see Figure 5 In one embodiment, the overflow port 600 is located at the long side of the cleaning tank 110. The length of the overflow port 600 is the same as the length of the long side of the cleaning tank 110. In other words, the overflow port 600 extends through the length of the cleaning tank 110, and the water in the cleaning tank 110 can flow out from any point along the long side of the cleaning tank 110. This is more conducive to the discharge of sewage in the cleaning tank 110, and the dirt in the cleaning tank 110 can also be discharged along with the sewage nearby, thereby ensuring the cleanliness of the cleaning tank 110.
[0077] Please see Figure 5 In one embodiment, the water inlet passage 200 includes a plurality of water inlet outlets 210, which are located above the overflow outlet 600. By placing the water inlet outlets 210 above the overflow outlet 600, on the one hand, the occupation of the overflow outlet 600 by the water inlet outlets 210 is reduced, ensuring the sewage discharge efficiency of the overflow outlet 600 and facilitating sewage discharge; on the other hand, the water inlet outlets 210 are higher than the overflow outlet 600, thereby improving the situation where sewage would flow back to the water inlet outlets 210, ensuring the cleanliness of the water inlet passage, and avoiding the situation where sewage contaminates the clean water in the water inlet outlets 210.
[0078] Please see Figure 5 In one embodiment, a portion of the water inlet channel is integrally formed with the filter screen 510. The integrally formed portion of the water inlet channel and the filter screen 510 are assembled above the sewage tank 500 to facilitate the assembly of the base station.
[0079] Please refer to the figure. Figure 2 and Figure 3 In one embodiment, the base station includes a sealing part 700, which is at least disposed on the outer periphery of the cleaning tank 110 that is not connected to the overflow port 600, so as to reduce the overflow of liquid or water vapor from the outer periphery of the cleaning tank 110, which is beneficial to keep other areas of the cleaning tray 100 dry and reduce the contamination of other areas of the cleaning tray 100 by dirt and other contaminants.
[0080] Please see Figure 2 In one embodiment, the sealing part 700 is provided on the top three sides of the cleaning tank 110, and the sealing part 700 is not provided on the overflow port 600 side, so that the sewage can flow to the sewage tank 500 through the overflow port 600.
[0081] In another embodiment, the sealing part 700 is provided on the top periphery of the cleaning tank 110, and an opening is provided at the overflow port 600 to prevent sewage from overflowing from the non-overflow port 600 and to keep other areas of the cleaning pan 100 dry.
[0082] Please see Figure 2 In one embodiment, the sealing portion 700 extends from the outside of the cleaning tank 110 into the cleaning tank 110, thereby covering the edge of the cleaning tank 110. Since the water in the cleaning tank 110 is in a flowing state, water frequently splashes from the edge of the cleaning tank 110. The sealing portion 700 blocks the water splashed from the edge of the cleaning tank 110, allowing the water to fall back into the cleaning tank 110 and preventing water from overflowing from the edge of the cleaning tank 110.
[0083] Please see Figure 2 In one embodiment, the sealing part 700 is provided with multiple notches 710, which penetrate the sealing part 700 and extend into one side of the cleaning tank 110. To better ensure the sealing effect, the sealing part 700 cooperates with the cleaning equipment to cover the cleaning tank 110. The sealing part 700 can be made of materials such as plastic, rubber, or silicone to better cooperate with the cleaning equipment. The cleaning tank 110 is relatively long, and the sealing part 700 is also relatively long, making it difficult for the sealing part 700 to deform when it is in contact with the cleaning equipment, resulting in a loose fit. By providing notches 710 that penetrate into one side of the cleaning tank 110 on the sealing part 700, the portion of the sealing part 700 extending into the cleaning tank 110 is divided into multiple segments, thereby facilitating the deformation of the sealing part 700, better fitting with the cleaning equipment, and improving the sealing effect of the sealing part 700 in cooperation with the cleaning equipment.
[0084] Please see Figure 5 In one embodiment, the base station includes a base 800, and a cleaning tray 100 is mounted on the base 800. A heating element 400 is provided on the cleaning tray 100. To ensure the service life of the cleaning tray 100, a high-temperature resistant material, such as high-temperature resistant plastic, can be used. High-temperature resistant plastics are typically more expensive. The base 800 and the heating element 400 do not directly contact each other, so conventional materials for the base 800, such as ordinary plastic, can be used. Ordinary materials are cheaper than high-temperature resistant plastics. By designing the base 800 and the cleaning tray 100 as separate components and then assembling them, the cost of the base station can be reduced, thereby improving its competitiveness.
[0085] In one embodiment, the wastewater tank 500 is integrated onto the cleaning tray 100 to reduce the number of parts and facilitate assembly. The water flowing out of the cleaning tank 110 is at a high temperature. The wastewater tank 500 is integrated onto the cleaning tray 100 and is made of the same material as the cleaning tray 100 to ensure the service life of the wastewater tank 500.
[0086] A second aspect of this disclosure provides a cleaning system, including a cleaning device and a base station of any one of the above. The cleaning device includes a cleaning component for cleaning a surface to be cleaned. After completing the cleaning work on the surface to be cleaned, the cleaning device can be automatically or manually placed into the base station, which provides storage, charging, and cleaning services for the cleaning device.
[0087] The cleaning components of the cleaning equipment are at least partially immersed in the cleaning tank 110 for cleaning. By rotating or moving the cleaning components, different positions of the components enter the cleaning tank 110 for cleaning. Through the movement of the cleaning components, the relative movement between the components and the water causes the water to rinse and clean the components, achieving a cleaning effect. By installing a heating element 400 in the cleaning tank 110 of the base station, the water in the cleaning tank 110 is heated, improving the cleaning effect and efficiency, especially when the components are contaminated with stubborn dirt such as oil; the high-temperature water provides a higher cleaning efficiency and better cleaning effect.
[0088] In one embodiment of the cleaning system, the cleaning component interferes with the bottom wall of the cleaning tank 110 during cleaning. The cleaning component can scrub and clean the cleaning tank 110, improving its cleanliness. During the cleaning process, the cleaning component can also drive the water flow within the cleaning tank 110, causing dirt to flow out with the wastewater through the overflow port 600, preventing dirt accumulation and further improving the cleanliness of the cleaning tank 110.
[0089] In one embodiment of the cleaning system, the cleaning component interferes with the side wall of the cleaning tank 110, thereby brushing the side wall of the cleaning tank 110 and improving the cleanliness of the cleaning tank 110 itself.
[0090] In one embodiment of the cleaning system, the cleaning component is a roller, and the cleaning equipment includes a brushing roller. The brushing roller loosens the fibers of the roller, thereby allowing the fibers of the roller to fully adhere to the side wall and / or bottom wall of the cleaning tank 110, carrying away the stains and sewage in the cleaning tank 110, and cleaning the cleaning tank 110.
[0091] During the cleaning process, clean water flows into the cleaning tank 110 through the inlet outlet 210, while wastewater flows out of the cleaning tank 110 through the overflow outlet 600. After cleaning, most of the clean water in the cleaning tank 110 overflows from the overflow outlet 600 into the wastewater tank 500 as the cleaning parts move. Some clean water remains, but through the absorbency of the cleaning parts themselves and the suction device of the cleaning equipment, the remaining clean water is sucked out by the cleaning equipment, thus ensuring that no water or only a small amount of water remains in the cleaning tank 110.
[0092] The base station and cleaning system disclosed herein, by incorporating a heating element 400 within the cleaning tank 110, effectively heats the water within the tank, thereby improving the cleaning effect on the components. Maintaining high-temperature water within the cleaning tank 110 enables immersion cleaning of the components, enhancing both the cleaning and sterilization effects. Therefore, this disclosure effectively overcomes some practical problems in the prior art, thus possessing high utilization value and practical significance.
[0093] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of this disclosure and are not intended to limit this disclosure. Any person skilled in the art can modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this disclosure. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in this disclosure should still be covered by the claims of this disclosure.
