Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Existing cleaning base stations can only serve cleaning equipment, have limited functionality, and cannot meet users' cleaning needs. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the above problems, this application provides a cleaning base station and cleaning system that can expand the cleaning functions of cleaning equipment, thereby meeting the cleaning needs of users.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted in this application is conceived as follows:

[0005] In a first aspect, this application provides a clean base station, comprising: a housing having a receiving cavity, a first dust inlet and a second dust inlet, wherein a dust collection component is provided in the receiving cavity, and the second dust inlet is used to connect to the dust outlet of a cleaning device; a first pipe body disposed in the receiving cavity, the first pipe body including a first pipe, a second pipe and a third pipe that are interconnected, the first pipe connecting to the first dust inlet, the second pipe connecting to the second dust inlet, and the third pipe connecting to the dust collection component; and a dust suction component detachably disposed at the first dust inlet.

[0006] The clean base station also includes a switching mechanism, which is at least partially located inside the first pipe and at the junction of the first pipe, the second pipe and the third pipe. The switching mechanism is configured to have a first state and a second state. The switching mechanism is used to connect the second pipe and the third pipe in the first state and to connect the first pipe and the third pipe in the second state.

[0007] The switching mechanism includes a shielding component and a driving component. The shielding component is disposed in the first pipe body and located at the junction of the first pipe, the second pipe and the third pipe. The shielding component has a first state and a second state, and the driving component is used to drive the shielding component to switch between the first state and the second state.

[0008] The dust collection component is detachably inserted into the first dust inlet. When the dust collection component is inserted into the first dust inlet, it triggers the drive component to drive the shielding component to switch from the first state to the second state. The dust collection component is also used to trigger the drive component to drive the shielding component to switch from the second state to the first state when it is removed from the first dust inlet.

[0009] The first dust inlet is provided with a first limiting part, and the dust collection component is provided with a second limiting part. When the dust collection component is inserted into the first dust inlet, the first limiting part and the second limiting part are engaged to restrict the dust collection component from moving out of the first dust inlet.

[0010] The shielding assembly includes a first shielding part, a second shielding part, and a rotating part connected between the first shielding part and the second shielding part. The rotating part is connected to the driving assembly. When the shielding assembly is in the first state, the first shielding part shields the end of the first pipe away from the first dust inlet. When the shielding assembly is in the second state, the second shielding part shields the end of the second pipe away from the second dust inlet.

[0011] The first pipe extends along a first direction, while the second and third pipes both extend along a second direction, perpendicular to the second direction. The first pipe includes a first sidewall, and the second pipe includes a second sidewall connected to the first sidewall. The inner surfaces of the first and second sidewalls form mutually communicating limiting grooves. A third limiting portion is provided on the inner surface of the first pipe away from the first dust inlet, excluding the first sidewall. A fourth limiting portion is provided on the inner surface of the second pipe away from the second dust inlet, excluding the second sidewall. When the shielding assembly is in the first state, the second shielding portion is located in the limiting groove of the second sidewall, and the side of the first shielding portion facing away from the first dust inlet abuts against the third limiting portion. The planes where the first and second shielding portions are located are both parallel to the second direction. When the shielding assembly is in the second state, the first shielding portion is located in the limiting groove of the first sidewall, and the side of the second shielding portion facing away from the second dust inlet abuts against the fourth limiting portion. The planes where the first and second shielding portions are located are both parallel to the first direction.

[0012] The cleaning base station also includes a mounting base located at the first dust inlet and having a sliding groove. A drive assembly is located on the outer surface of the first tube and includes a meshing gear set and a rack. The rotating part includes a rotating shaft, one end of which passes through the tube wall of the first tube and is connected to the gear set. A first sliding joint is provided at the end of the rack near the first dust inlet. The first sliding joint is inserted into the sliding groove and is used to slide along the sliding groove toward the direction of the shielding assembly when triggered by the dust collection assembly, so as to drive the gear set to rotate and drive the shielding assembly to switch from a first state to a second state.

[0013] The mounting base has a through hole connecting to the first pipe. The dust collection component includes: a second pipe body; a dust collection body located at one end of the second pipe body; and a connector located at the other end of the second pipe body. The connector is used to install on the mounting base so that the second pipe body communicates with the through hole. The connector has a second sliding part. During the process of installing the connector on the mounting base, the second sliding part is slidably inserted into the slide groove to push the first sliding part to slide along the slide groove, so that the shielding component switches from a first state to a second state.

[0014] The switching mechanism also includes a first reset member, which connects a rack and a first tube body. The first reset member is used to store a restoring force in the direction of the first dust inlet when the connector is installed on the mounting base, and to drive the first sliding part to slide along the slide groove in the direction away from the shielding component when the connector is removed from the mounting base, so that the shielding component switches from the second state to the first state.

[0015] Secondly, this application provides a cleaning system, including: cleaning equipment; and the aforementioned cleaning base station.

[0016] The advantages of the embodiments of this application, which differ from the prior art, are as follows: This application provides a cleaning base station and a cleaning system. The cleaning base station includes a housing, a first tube, and a dust collection component. The housing forms a receiving cavity, a first dust inlet, and a second dust inlet. A dust collection component is provided in the receiving cavity. The second dust inlet is used to connect to the dust outlet of the cleaning equipment. The first tube is disposed in the receiving cavity and includes a first pipe, a second pipe, and a third pipe that are interconnected. The first pipe connects to the first dust inlet, the second pipe connects to the second dust inlet, and the third pipe connects to the dust collection component. The dust collection component is detachably disposed at the first dust inlet. In this embodiment, the first pipe is configured to include a first pipe, a second pipe, and a third pipe that are interconnected. The first pipe is used to pass through a first dust inlet, the second pipe is used to connect to the dust outlet of the cleaning equipment through the second dust inlet, and the third pipe is connected to the dust collection component. The suction component is detachably installed at the first dust inlet, so that the suction component is connected to the dust collection component through the first dust inlet, the first pipe, and the third pipe. The cleaning base station can not only suck the cleaned material collected by the cleaning equipment into the dust collection component through the second dust inlet, the second pipe, and the third pipe to maintain the cleaning function of the cleaning equipment, but also suck the cleaned material collected by the suction component into the dust collection component, so that the suction component can be used as an independent cleaning device, thereby expanding the cleaning function of the cleaning base station. This is beneficial to improving the adaptability of the cleaning system to cleaning scenarios and meeting the user's cleaning needs. Attached Figure Description

[0031] Please see Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an embodiment of the clean base station provided in this application; Figure 2 This is a partial structural schematic diagram of an embodiment of the clean base station provided in this application;

[0032] Figure 3This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the cleaning base station provided in this application after the housing is concealed. This application provides a cleaning base station 100. The cleaning base station 100 includes a housing 10, a first tube 20, and a dust collection assembly 30. The housing 10 forms a receiving cavity 11, a first dust inlet 12, and a second dust inlet 13. A dust collection assembly is disposed within the receiving cavity 11. The second dust inlet 13 is used to connect to the dust outlet of a cleaning device. The first tube 20 is disposed within the receiving cavity 11 and includes a first pipe 21, a second pipe 22, and a third pipe 23 that are interconnected. The first pipe 21 connects to the first dust inlet 12, the second pipe 22 connects to the second dust inlet 13, and the third pipe 23 connects to the dust collection assembly; the dust collection assembly 30 is detachably disposed at the first dust inlet 12.

[0033] The housing 10 serves as the basic carrier of the clean base station 100, supporting and protecting components such as the first tube 20 and the dust collection assembly located within the receiving cavity 11. When the first tube 20 is not located within the receiving cavity 11, both the first dust inlet 12 and the second dust inlet 13 are connected to the receiving cavity 11. The dust collection assembly can be an independent structure located within the receiving cavity 11; alternatively, it can be integrally formed into the housing 10. The dust collection assembly forms a dust chamber, which is isolated from the receiving cavity 11.

[0034] One end of the first pipe 21, one end of the second pipe 22, and one end of the third pipe 23 are interconnected. The other end of the third pipe 23 is connected to the dust chamber of the dust collection assembly. The other end of the first pipe 21 is connected to the first dust inlet 12, and the suction assembly 30 is located at the first dust inlet 12 and connected to the first pipe 21. The cleaning base station 100 can clean the objects to be cleaned in the area to be cleaned through the suction assembly 30, and suck the objects to be cleaned into the dust chamber of the dust collection assembly through the first pipe 21 and the third pipe 23. The objects to be cleaned can be dust, hair, paper scraps, fruit peels, etc., but are not limited to these. The other end of the second pipe 22 is connected to the second dust inlet 13, which is used to connect to the dust outlet of the cleaning equipment. The cleaning base station 100 can suck the objects to be cleaned collected by the cleaning equipment into the dust chamber of the dust collection assembly through the second dust inlet 13, via the second pipe 22 and the third pipe 23. The cleaning equipment can be a sweeping robot, a vacuum cleaner, a floor scrubber, etc., but is not limited to these. The first pipe body 20 can be a three-way pipe.

[0035] By integrating the vacuuming component 30 into the cleaning base station 100, the cleaning base station 100 can not only serve as a dust collection, monitoring and maintenance center for cleaning equipment, but also be used as an independent cleaning device through the vacuuming component 30. The vacuuming component 30 can be a handheld vacuum cleaner, a handheld sweeper, a spot vacuum cleaner, a spot sweeper, etc., but is not limited to these.

[0036] In this embodiment, the first pipe body 20 is configured to include a first pipe 21, a second pipe 22, and a third pipe 23 that are interconnected. The first pipe 21 is used to pass through a first dust inlet 12, the second pipe 22 is used to connect to the dust outlet of the cleaning equipment through a second dust inlet 13, and the third pipe 23 is connected to a dust collection component. The suction component 30 is detachably disposed at the first dust inlet 12, so that the suction component 30 is connected to the dust collection component through the first dust inlet 12, the first pipe 21, and the third pipe 23. The cleaning base station can not only suck the cleaned items collected by the cleaning equipment into the dust collection component through the second dust inlet 13, the second pipe 22, and the third pipe 23 to maintain the cleaning function of the cleaning equipment, but also suck the cleaned items collected by the suction component 30 into the dust collection component, so that the suction component 30 can be used as an independent cleaning device, thereby expanding the cleaning function of the extended cleaning base station 100. This is beneficial to improving the adaptability of the cleaning system to cleaning scenarios and meeting the cleaning needs of users.

[0037] In some embodiments, the clean base station 100 further includes a switching mechanism 40. At least a portion of the switching mechanism 40 is disposed within the first pipe body 20 and is located at the junction of the first pipe 21, the second pipe 22, and the third pipe 23. The switching mechanism 40 is configured to have a first state and a second state. The switching mechanism 40 is used to connect the second pipe 22 and the third pipe 23 in the first state and to connect the first pipe 21 and the third pipe 23 in the second state.

[0038] When the switching mechanism 40 is in the first state, the second pipe 22 and the third pipe 23 are connected, while the first pipe 21 and the third pipe 23 are not connected. The cleaning base station 100 can suck the cleaned material collected by the cleaning equipment into the dust chamber of the dust collection component through the second dust inlet 13 via the second pipe 22 and the third pipe 23. When the switching mechanism 40 is in the second state, the first pipe 21 and the third pipe 23 are connected, while the second pipe 22 and the third pipe 23 are not connected. The cleaning base station 100 can use the suction component 30 located at the first dust inlet 12 to suck the cleaned material in the area to be cleaned into the dust chamber of the dust collection component through the first pipe 21 and the third pipe 23.

[0039] In some embodiments, the cleaning base station 100 further includes a suction component, which can be disposed within the dust chamber of the dust collection component. When the suction component is working, it can create a negative pressure inside the dust chamber of the dust collection component, so that the suction component 30 can perform the cleaning function when the first pipe 21 and the third pipe 23 are connected; or when the second pipe 22 and the third pipe 23 are connected, and the dust outlet of the cleaning device is connected to the second dust inlet 13, the cleaning base station 100 can extract the object to be cleaned from the cleaning device. Of course, the suction component can also be disposed within the third pipe 23, or the suction components can be disposed within the first pipe 21 and the second pipe 22 respectively, or the suction components can be disposed within the suction component 30 and at the second dust inlet 13 respectively. The suction component can be a fan, an electric pump, a booster valve, or a solenoid valve, etc., but is not limited to these.

[0040] By placing the switching mechanism 40 at the junction of the first pipe 21, the second pipe 22, and the third pipe 23, the switching mechanism 40 is used to connect the second pipe 22 and the third pipe 23 in the first state, and to connect the first pipe 21 and the third pipe 23 in the second state. In this embodiment, by placing the switching mechanism 40 at the junction of the first pipe 21, the second pipe 22, and the third pipe 23 of the first pipe body 20, the connection between the second pipe 22 and the third pipe 23 or between the first pipe 21 and the third pipe 23 can be controlled. On the one hand, this not only reduces the number of components inside the cleaning base station 100, thus reducing the assembly difficulty and material cost of the cleaning base station 100, but also reduces the complexity of the control logic, thereby increasing the switching speed of the pipes and effectively improving the cleaning efficiency of the cleaning base station 100. On the other hand, the integrated design of the first pipe 21, the second pipe 22, and the third pipe 23 makes the pipe layout more compact, effectively saving the internal space of the cleaning base station 100.

[0041] Please refer to the following: Figures 4 to 5 , Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the shielding component and the first tube body in one embodiment of the clean base station provided in this application; Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the shielding component and the first pipe body in another embodiment of the clean base station provided in this application. In some embodiments, the switching mechanism 40 includes a shielding component 41 and a driving component 42. The shielding component 41 is disposed inside the first pipe body 20 and is located at the junction of the first pipe 21, the second pipe 22 and the third pipe 23. The shielding component 41 has a first state and a second state, and the driving component 42 is used to drive the shielding component 41 to switch between the first state and the second state.

[0042] In the first state, the shielding component 41 shields the first pipe 21, allowing the second pipe 22 and the third pipe 23 to connect. At this time, the cleaning base station 100 can suck the cleaned material collected by the cleaning equipment through the second dust inlet 13 into the dust chamber of the dust collection component via the second pipe 22 and the third pipe 23. Because the shielding component 41 shields the first pipe 21, the cleaned material passing through the second pipe 22 and the third pipe 23 will not flow into the first pipe 21. In the second state, the shielding component 41 shields the second pipe 22, allowing the first pipe 21 and the third pipe 23 to connect. At this time, the cleaning base station 100 can suck the cleaned material in the area to be cleaned through the suction component 30 into the dust chamber of the dust collection component via the first pipe 21 and the third pipe 23. Because the shielding component 41 shields the second pipe 22, the cleaned material passing through the first pipe 21 and the third pipe 23 will not flow into the second pipe 22.

[0043] By shielding the corresponding idle pipes in the first pipe 21 and the second pipe 22 with the shielding component 41, the risks of airflow diversion or negative pressure leakage can be reduced, the stability of the negative pressure environment inside the cleaning base station 100 can be improved, and the cleaning effect of the cleaning base station 100 in specific working scenarios can be improved.

[0044] In some embodiments, the drive component 42 may be a motor, a cylinder, an electric cylinder, a rack and pinion structure 421, or a ball screw structure, but is not limited thereto.

[0045] In some embodiments, the vacuuming component 30 is detachably inserted into the first dust inlet 12. When the vacuuming component 30 is inserted into the first dust inlet 12, it triggers the driving component 42 to drive the shielding component 41 to switch from the first state to the second state. The vacuuming component 30 is also used to trigger the driving component 42 to drive the shielding component 41 to switch from the second state to the first state when it is removed from the first dust inlet 12.

[0046] When the first dust inlet 12 is idle, that is, when the vacuum assembly 30 is not inserted into the first dust inlet 12, the shielding assembly 41 is in the first state. When the vacuum assembly 30 is inserted into the first dust inlet 12, it can trigger the drive assembly 42 to drive the shielding assembly 41 to switch from the first state to the second state, and the vacuum assembly 30 can connect to the dust chamber of the dust collection assembly through the first pipe 21 and the third pipe 23. When the vacuum assembly 30 is removed from the first dust inlet 12, it can trigger the drive assembly 42 to drive the shielding assembly 41 to switch from the second state to the first state, so as to shield the first pipe 21.

[0047] By inserting or removing the vacuuming component 30 into or from the first dust inlet 12, the drive component 42 can be controlled to drive the shielding component 41, thereby changing the state of the shielding component 41. On the one hand, this improves the efficiency of switching the state of the shielding component 41, so that when the vacuuming component 30 is inserted into the first dust inlet 12, the first pipe 21 and the third pipe 23 are connected, and when the vacuuming component 30 is removed from the first dust inlet 12, the first pipe 21 and the third pipe 23 are disconnected, thereby simplifying the operation steps of the cleaning base station 100 and further improving the cleaning efficiency of the cleaning base station 100. On the other hand, there is no need to set up additional components to control the drive component 42, which not only further reduces the assembly difficulty and material cost of the cleaning base station 100, but also effectively saves the internal space of the cleaning base station 100.

[0048] In some embodiments, the drive assembly 42 includes a motor, and a detection component is provided on the first dust inlet 12 and / or the suction assembly 30. The drive assembly 42 is configured to have a first operating mode and a second operating mode. The detection component is used to generate a first signal when the suction assembly 30 is inserted into the first dust inlet 12, and the motor enters the first operating mode in response to the first signal generated by the detection component to drive the shielding assembly 41 to switch from the first state to the second state; the detection component is also used to generate a second signal when the suction assembly 30 is removed from the first dust inlet 12, and the motor enters the second operating mode in response to the second signal generated by the detection component to drive the shielding assembly 41 to switch from the second state to the first state.

[0049] Please refer to the following: Figures 6 to 7 , Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an embodiment of the driving component of the clean base station provided in this application; Figure 7 This is a partial structural schematic diagram of the dust collection component of the cleaning base station provided in this application. In some embodiments, a first limiting part 53 is provided at the first dust inlet 12, and a second limiting part 31 is provided at the dust collection component 30. When the dust collection component 30 is inserted into the first dust inlet 12, the first limiting part 53 and the second limiting part 31 are engaged to restrict the dust collection component 30 from moving out of the first dust inlet 12.

[0050] By providing a first limiting part 53 at the first dust inlet 12 and a second limiting part 31 on the dust suction assembly 30, the first limiting part 53 and the second limiting part 31 are used to engage when the dust suction assembly 30 is inserted into the first dust inlet 12, which can improve the pull-out force and stability of the dust suction assembly 30, thereby reducing the risk of the dust suction assembly 30 loosening or falling out of the first dust inlet 12.

[0051] The first limiting part 53 can be provided on the inner surface of the first dust inlet 12, or the first dust inlet 12 can be provided with a mounting base 50 for mounting the dust collection assembly 30, and the first limiting part 53 can be provided on the mounting base 50. The second limiting part 31 can be provided on the outer surface of the connector 33 of the dust collection assembly 30.

[0052] In some embodiments, please continue reading Figure 7 The second limiting part 31 includes a button 311, a second reset member 312, and a locking block 313. The button 311 is disposed on the outer surface of the connector 33 of the vacuum assembly 30. The locking block 313 is connected to the button 311. The button 311 can move radially along the vacuum assembly 30, and drive the locking block 313 to move radially along the vacuum assembly 30. The connector 33 forms a mounting groove corresponding to the button 311. The second reset member 312 is disposed in the mounting groove and is connected between the button 311 and the bottom of the mounting groove. During the process of inserting the vacuum assembly 30 into the first dust inlet 12, pressing the button 311 will cause the second reset member 312 to retract, so that the locking block 313 retracts inward. When the vacuum assembly 30 is inserted into place, the button 311 is released. At this time, the second reset member 312 resets. When the second reset member 312 resets, it can drive the locking block 313 to expand outward and engage with the first limiting part 53 at the first dust inlet 12. During the engagement of the locking block 313 and the first limiting part 53, the second reset member 312 provides continuous elastic force to the locking block 313, thereby forming a stable mechanical lock between the locking block 313 and the first limiting part 53. This reduces the risk of the vacuuming assembly 30 becoming loose or falling off. Furthermore, the design of the second limiting part 31 simplifies the installation and disassembly efficiency of the vacuuming assembly 30 and is suitable for vacuuming assemblies 30 that require frequent disassembly. The second reset member 312 can be a spring.

[0053] In some embodiments, please continue reading Figures 4 to 5 The shielding assembly 41 includes a first shielding part 411, a second shielding part 412, and a rotating part 413 connected between the first shielding part 411 and the second shielding part 412. The rotating part 413 is connected to the drive assembly 42. When the shielding assembly 41 is in a first state, the first shielding part 411 shields the end of the first pipe 21 away from the first dust inlet 12. When the shielding assembly 41 is in a second state, the second shielding part 412 shields the end of the second pipe 22 away from the second dust inlet 13.

[0054] The drive assembly 42 is connected to the rotating part 413, which, driven by the drive assembly 42, can rotate the first blocking part 411 and the second blocking part 412. The cross-section of the first blocking part 411 is adapted to the end of the first pipe 21 away from the first dust inlet 12, so that when the drive assembly 42 drives the blocking assembly 41 to rotate to the first state, the first blocking part 411 can completely block the end of the first pipe 21 away from the first dust inlet 12. The cross-section of the second blocking part 412 is adapted to the end of the second pipe 22 away from the second dust inlet 13, so that when the drive assembly 42 drives the blocking assembly 41 to rotate to the second state, the second blocking part 412 can completely block the end of the second pipe 22 away from the second dust inlet 13.

[0055] By driving the shielding component 41 to rotate through the driving component 42, the first pipe 21 and the second pipe 22 can be alternately closed, thereby realizing the alternating connection or disconnection between the first pipe 21 and the third pipe 23 and between the second pipe 22 and the third pipe 23. The switching speed is fast, which helps to improve the cleaning efficiency of the cleaning base station 100.

[0056] The shielding assembly 41 can be a one-piece structure, that is, the first shielding part 411, the second shielding part 412 and the rotating part 413 are a whole. The one-piece structure can not only improve the structural strength between the first shielding part 411 and the rotating part 413 and between the second shielding part 412 and the rotating part 413, thereby better resisting the impact of airflow and the object to be cleaned, which is conducive to extending the service life of the shielding assembly 41, but also reduce the number of parts of the shielding assembly 41, reduce the risk of the object to be cleaned getting stuck on the shielding assembly 41, and also reduce the weight of the shielding assembly 41, which can help reduce the impact of the shielding assembly 41 on the first tube 20. The shielding assembly 41 can also be a split structure, meaning that the first shielding part 411, the second shielding part 412, and the rotating part 413 are all independent components. The first shielding part 411, the second shielding part 412, and the rotating part 413 are joined together by a fixed connection. The fixed connection method can be riveting, welding, bonding, bolting, keying, snap-fitting, or magnetic adsorption, but is not limited to these. The split structure of the shielding assembly 41 facilitates the replacement of damaged parts in the first shielding part 411, the second shielding part 412, and the rotating part 413 individually, thereby reducing the maintenance cost of the shielding assembly 41.

[0057] In some embodiments, please continue reading Figures 4 to 5The first pipe 21 extends along a first direction XX, and the second pipe 22 and the third pipe 23 both extend along a second direction YY, with the first direction XX perpendicular to the second direction YY. The first pipe 21 includes a first sidewall 211, and the second pipe 22 includes a second sidewall 221 connecting the first sidewall 211. An angle is formed between the first sidewall 211 and the second sidewall 221. The angle between the first sidewall 211 and the second sidewall 221 can be 90°; or the angle between the first sidewall 211 and the second sidewall 221 can be slightly less than 90°; or the angle between the first sidewall 211 and the second sidewall 221 can be slightly greater than 90°.

[0058] The inner surface of the first sidewall 211 and the inner surface of the second sidewall 221 form mutually communicating limiting grooves 241, and the inner surface of the first pipe 21, away from the first dust inlet 12, is provided with a third limiting part 242 in the area other than the first sidewall 211, and the inner surface of the second pipe 22, away from the second dust inlet 13, is provided with a fourth limiting part 243 in the area other than the second sidewall 221.

[0059] The end of the first sidewall 211 away from the first dust inlet 12 is recessed outward, so that a limiting groove 241 is formed on the inner surface of the first sidewall 211. The end of the second sidewall 221 away from the second dust inlet 13 is recessed outward, so that a limiting groove 241 is formed on the inner surface of the second sidewall 221. The limiting groove 241 on the first sidewall 211 and the limiting groove 241 on the second sidewall 221 are connected. The bottom of the limiting groove 241 on the first sidewall 211 can extend along the first direction XX, and the bottom of the limiting groove 241 on the second sidewall 221 can extend along the second direction YY. That is, the angle between the bottom of the limiting groove 241 on the first sidewall 211 and the bottom of the limiting groove 241 on the second sidewall 221 is 90°, so that the shielding component 41 can extend along the second direction YY when it is in the first state, and can extend along the first direction XX when it is in the second state. Wherein, the bottom of the limiting groove 241 on the first sidewall 211 is the surface of the limiting groove 241 facing the center of the first pipe 21; the bottom of the limiting groove 241 on the second sidewall 221 is the surface of the limiting groove 241 facing the center of the second pipe 22.

[0060] The third limiting portion 242 is formed on the inner surface of the first pipe 21 at the end away from the first dust inlet 12, excluding the first sidewall 211. For example, if the first pipe 21 has four sidewalls, the third limiting portion 242 is formed on the other three sidewalls besides the first sidewall 211. The projection of the third limiting portion 242 toward the second pipe 22 along the second direction YY is located inside the second pipe 22, and the projection of the third limiting portion 242 inside the second pipe 22 is spaced apart from the bottom of the limiting groove 241 on the second sidewall 221. The plane on the side of the third limiting portion 242 facing the first dust inlet 12 is perpendicular to the first direction XX. The fourth limiting portion 243 is formed on the inner surface of the second pipe 22 at the end away from the second dust inlet 13, excluding the second sidewall 221. For example, if the second pipe 22 has four sidewalls, the fourth limiting portion 243 is formed on the other three sidewalls besides the second sidewall 221. The projection of the fourth limiting part 243 toward the first pipe 21 along the first direction XX is located inside the first pipe 21, and the projection of the fourth limiting part 243 inside the first pipe 21 is spaced apart from the bottom of the limiting groove 241 on the first side wall 211. The plane on the side of the fourth limiting part 243 facing the second dust inlet 13 is perpendicular to the second direction YY.

[0061] When the shielding assembly 41 is in the first state, the second shielding part 412 is located in the limiting groove 241 of the second sidewall 221, and the side of the first shielding part 411 facing away from the first dust inlet 12 abuts against the third limiting part 242. The planes where the first shielding part 411 and the second shielding part 412 are located are both parallel to the second direction YY. When the shielding assembly 41 is in the second state, the first shielding part 411 is located in the limiting groove 241 of the first sidewall 211, and the side of the second shielding part 412 facing away from the second dust inlet 13 abuts against the fourth limiting part 243. The planes where the first shielding part 411 and the second shielding part 412 are located are both parallel to the first direction XX. When the blocking assembly 41 is in the first state, the side of the second blocking part 412 facing the limiting groove 241 of the second sidewall 221 can abut against the bottom of the limiting groove 241; when the blocking assembly 41 is in the second state, the side of the first blocking part 411 facing the limiting groove 241 of the first sidewall 211 can abut against the bottom of the limiting groove 241.

[0062] When the shielding assembly 41 is in the first state, the side of the first shielding part 411 facing away from the first dust inlet 12 abuts against the third limiting part 242, and the side of the second shielding part 412 facing the limiting groove 241 of the second sidewall 221 abuts against the bottom of the limiting groove 241 of the second sidewall 221. When the shielding assembly 41 is in the second state, the side of the second shielding part 412 facing away from the second dust inlet 13 abuts against the fourth limiting part 243, and the side of the first shielding part 411 facing the limiting groove 241 of the first sidewall 211 abuts against the bottom of the limiting groove 241 of the first sidewall 211. On the one hand, this improves the sealing effect of the shielding assembly 41 on the first pipe 21 or the second pipe 22, thereby reducing the leakage of dust through the first pipe 21 and the second pipe 22. The risk of leakage of cleaning material and airflow at the junction of pipe 22 and third pipe 23 can be reduced, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency and effect of the cleaning base station 100. On the other hand, when the blocking component 41 is in the first state, the plane where the first blocking part 411 is located and the plane where the second blocking part 412 is located are both parallel to the second direction YY. And when the blocking component 41 is in the second state, the plane where the first blocking part 411 is located and the plane where the second blocking part 412 is located are both parallel to the first direction XX. This can reduce the obstruction effect of the blocking component 41 on the cleaning material at the junction of the first pipe 21, the second pipe 22 and the third pipe 23. This can not only improve the cleaning efficiency of the cleaning base station 100, but also reduce the generation of noise.

[0063] In some embodiments, when the shielding component 41 is in the first state, the plane of the surface of the shielding component 41 facing away from the first dust inlet 12 is approximately flush with the plane of the inner surface of the second sidewall 221; when the shielding component 41 is in the second state, the plane of the surface of the shielding component 41 facing away from the second dust inlet 13 is approximately flush with the plane of the inner surface of the first sidewall 211.

[0064] In some embodiments, when the shielding component 41 is in the first state, the driving component 42 drives the shielding component 41 to rotate clockwise. When the side of the second shielding part 412 facing away from the second dust inlet 13 abuts against the fourth limiting part 243, and the side of the first shielding part 411 facing the limiting groove 241 of the first sidewall 211 abuts against the bottom of the limiting groove 241 of the first sidewall 211, it indicates that the shielding component 41 has switched from the first state to the second state. Since the fourth limiting part 243 and the bottom of the limiting groove 241 of the first sidewall 211 can limit the shielding component 41 from continuing to rotate clockwise, the shielding component 41 can remain in the second state. When the shielding assembly 41 is in the second state, the driving assembly 42 drives the shielding assembly 41 to rotate counterclockwise. When the side of the first shielding part 411 facing away from the first dust inlet 12 abuts against the third limiting part 242, and the side of the second shielding part 412 facing the limiting groove 241 of the second sidewall 221 abuts against the bottom of the limiting groove 241 of the second sidewall 221, it indicates that the shielding assembly 41 has switched from the second state to the first state. Since the third limiting part 242 and the bottom of the limiting groove 241 of the second sidewall 221 can limit the shielding assembly 41 from continuing to rotate counterclockwise, the shielding assembly 41 can remain in the first state.

[0065] In some embodiments, the inner walls of the limiting groove 241 of the first sidewall 211, the inner walls of the limiting groove 241 of the second sidewall 221, the side of the third limiting portion 242 facing the first dust inlet 12, and the side of the fourth limiting portion 243 facing the second dust inlet 13 are provided with sealing members (not shown); and / or, the surfaces of the first blocking portion 411 and the second blocking portion 412 are provided with sealing members (not shown), so that the blocking assembly 41 can, in the first state, engage with the third limiting portion 242 and the limiting groove 241 of the first sidewall 211. The inner wall of the shielding component 41 is tightly fitted to seal the first pipe 21, and in the second state, it can tightly fit with the inner wall of the limiting groove 241 of the fourth limiting part 243 and the second side wall 221 to seal the second pipe 22. This not only effectively improves the sealing effect of the shielding component 41 on the first pipe 21 or the second pipe 22, but also reduces the leakage of airflow and the object to be cleaned, making the cleaning process of the cleaning base station 100 efficient. In addition, it can reduce the wear of the shielding component 41 and help to extend the service life of the shielding component 41.

[0066] The seals can be made of materials with good wear resistance, weather resistance, and chemical stability. For example, the seals can be made of silicone rubber, fluorosilicone rubber (FLS), ethylene-propylene-diene monomer (EPDM), or nitrile rubber (NBR), but are not limited to these.

[0067] In some embodiments, please continue reading Figures 1 to 2 The cleaning base station 100 also includes a mounting base 50, which is located at the first dust inlet 12. The mounting base 50 can be installed at the first dust inlet 12 in various ways. For example, a flange 70 can be provided on the first dust inlet 12. The flange 70 can be integrally formed on the edge of the first dust inlet 12. The flange 70 can also be provided on the first dust inlet 12 by means of bolt fastening, welding, snap connection, etc., and the mounting seat 50 and the first dust inlet 12 are connected by the flange 70. Alternatively, an internal thread can be formed in the first dust inlet 12 and an external thread can be formed on the outer surface of the mounting seat 50. The mounting seat 50 and the first dust inlet 12 can be tightened and fixed by the internal and external threads. Alternatively, the mounting seat 50 can also be fixed to the first dust inlet 12 by welding. Alternatively, a sealing ring can be provided on the mounting seat 50 and / or in the first dust inlet 12, and the mounting seat 50 and the first dust inlet 12 can be sealed by the pressure of the sealing ring. Alternatively, the mounting seat 50 can also be fixed to the first dust inlet 12 by adhesives such as epoxy resin and structural adhesive.

[0068] Please continue reading. Figure 6 The mounting base 50 is provided with a sliding groove 51. The sliding groove 51 can communicate with the receiving cavity 11 of the cleaning base station 100. The drive assembly 42 is provided on the outer surface of the first tube 20. The drive assembly 42 includes a gear set 422 and a rack 421 that are meshed together. The rotating part 413 includes a rotating shaft 4131. One end of the rotating shaft 4131 passes through the tube wall of the first tube 20 and is connected to the gear set 422. The rack 421 is provided with a first sliding part 4211 at one end near the first dust inlet 12. The first sliding part 4211 is inserted into the sliding groove 51. The first sliding part 4211 is used to slide along the sliding groove 51 towards the direction of the shielding assembly 41 when triggered by the dust suction assembly 30, so as to drive the gear set 422 to rotate and drive the shielding assembly 41 to switch from the first state to the second state.

[0069] Specifically, the vacuuming assembly 30 is inserted into the mounting base 50. The mounting base 50 has a through hole 52 that connects to the first pipe 21. When the vacuuming assembly 30 is inserted into the mounting base 50, the through hole 52 of the mounting base 50 is connected to the first pipe 21. During the insertion of the vacuuming assembly 30 into the mounting base 50, the vacuuming assembly 30 can push the first sliding part 4211 to slide along the sliding groove 51 toward the direction of approaching the shielding assembly 41, so that the rack 421 slides toward the direction of approaching the shielding assembly 41 and drives the gear set 422 to rotate, so that the gear set 422 drives the shielding assembly 41 to switch from the first state to the second state, thereby opening the first pipe 21 and closing the second pipe 22, so that the first pipe 21 is connected to the third pipe 23.

[0070] By configuring the drive assembly 42 as a transmission structure in which gear set 422 and rack 421 mesh, the meshing transmission of gear set 422 and rack 421 can be converted into the rotational motion of shielding assembly 41 when triggered by vacuuming assembly 30. On the one hand, the meshing transmission of gear set 422 and rack 421 has high synchronization, which can accurately and quickly convert the linear motion of rack 421 into the rotational motion of gear set 422, so that gear set 422 drives shielding assembly 41 to rotate. This not only allows for precise control of the rotation angle of shielding assembly 41, but also improves the switching efficiency of shielding assembly 41's state. On the other hand, the meshing transmission of gear set 422 and rack 421 has good reversibility, making it easy to switch the drive shielding assembly 41 between the first state and the second state. Thirdly, the large contact area and high transmission efficiency when gear set 422 and rack 421 mesh save the insertion force of vacuuming assembly 30, making vacuuming assembly 30 easier to insert into mounting base 50.

[0071] In some embodiments, the gear set 422 includes a first gear 4221 and a second gear 4222. The first gear 4221 meshes with both a rack 421 and a second gear 4222. The second gear 4222 is spaced apart from the rack 421, and its shaft hole is fitted onto the outside of the rotating shaft 4131 of the blocking assembly 41. By having the first gear 4221 mesh with both the rack 421 and the second gear 4222 simultaneously, the first gear 4221 can share the direct force exerted by the rack 421 on the second gear 4222, reducing stress concentration at the connection between the second gear 4222 and the rotating shaft 4131 of the blocking assembly 41. This allows the second gear 4222 to rotate more stably, improving the stability of the blocking assembly 41 during rotation and extending the service life of both the gear set 422 and the rotating shaft 4131 of the blocking assembly 41.

[0072] In some embodiments, an elastic backlash elimination element (not shown) is provided between the meshing surfaces of the first gear 4221 and the second gear 4222. The elastic backlash elimination element abuts against the meshing surfaces of the first gear 4221 and the second gear 4222 by elastic preload. The provision of the elastic backlash elimination element can reduce the meshing clearance between the first gear 4221 and the second gear 4222, which helps to improve the transmission accuracy between the first gear 4221 and the second gear 4222.

[0073] In some embodiments, please continue reading Figure 1 and Figure 7 See also Figure 8 , Figure 8This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the drive component and the vacuuming component of the cleaning base station provided in this application. The vacuuming component 30 includes a second tube 32, a vacuuming body, and a connector 33. The vacuuming body is located at one end of the second tube 32. The connector 33 is located at the other end of the second tube 32. The connector 33 is used to install on the mounting base 50 so that the second tube 32 communicates with the through hole 52. The connector 33 is provided with a second sliding part 34. During the process of installing the connector 33 on the mounting base 50, the second sliding part 34 is slidably inserted into the slide groove 51 to push the first sliding part 4211 to slide along the slide groove 51, so that the shielding component 41 switches from a first state to a second state.

[0074] The second tube 32 can be a flexible hose, with the vacuum cleaner body located at one end of the second tube 32 for cleaning objects in the area to be cleaned. The connector 33 is located at the other end of the second tube 32 for mounting the vacuum cleaner assembly 30 onto the mounting base 50.

[0075] The second sliding part 34 can be disposed on the outer surface of the connector 33. When the connector 33 is installed in the mounting base 50, the second sliding part 34 can be inserted into the slide groove 51 to push the first sliding part 4211 to slide along the slide groove 51 toward the direction of approaching the shielding component 41, so that the rack 421 slides toward the direction of approaching the shielding component 41 and drives the gear set 422 to rotate, so that the gear set 422 drives the shielding component 41 to switch from the first state to the second state, thereby opening the first pipe 21 and closing the second pipe 22, so that the first pipe 21 is connected to the third pipe 23.

[0076] In some embodiments, the slide 51 is provided with a stop 511, which is used to abut against the end of the second sliding part 34 near the stop 41 when the shielding component 41 switches from the first state to the second state, so as to avoid the rack 421 from interfering with the tube wall located in front of its moving direction, thereby providing stability and reliability of the switching mechanism 40.

[0077] In some embodiments, the switching mechanism 40 further includes a first reset member 61. The first reset member 61 connects the rack 421 and the first tube 20, and is used to store restoring force in the direction toward the first dust inlet 12 when the connector 33 is installed on the mounting base 50, and to drive the first sliding part 4211 to slide along the slide groove 51 toward the direction away from the shielding component 41 when the connector 33 is removed from the mounting base 50, so that the shielding component 41 switches from the second state to the first state.

[0078] The extension direction of the first reset member 61 can be parallel to the extension direction of the rack 421. When the connector 33 is installed on the mounting base 50 and the first sliding part 4211 slides along the slide groove 51 toward the direction close to the shielding assembly 41, the rack 421 compresses the first reset member 61 so that the first reset member 61 stores the restoring force toward the direction of the first dust inlet 12; when the connector 33 is removed from the mounting base 50, the first reset member 61 restores its elastic deformation and releases the restoring force toward the direction of the first dust inlet 12, so as to drive the first sliding part 4211 to slide along the slide groove 51 toward the direction away from the shielding assembly 41, thereby switching the shielding assembly 41 from the second state to the first state.

[0079] The first reset element 61 can be a compression spring, torsion spring, silicone elastomer, or disc spring, but is not limited to these.

[0080] In some embodiments, the rack 421 includes a first surface 4212 and a second surface 4213 disposed opposite to each other. The first surface 4212 is disposed toward the gear set 422. The first surface 4212 is provided with transmission teeth 4214, which mesh with the gear set 422. The second surface 4213 is provided with a pusher 62, and a first stop 63 is provided on the outer surface of the first tube 20 near the rack 421. The pusher 62 is located on the side of the first stop 63 near the mounting base 50, and a first reset member 61 is disposed between the first stop 63 and the pusher 62. When the connector 33 is installed on the mounting base 50 and the first sliding part 4211 slides along the slide groove 51 toward the direction of approaching the shielding component 41, the pusher 62 can move with the rack 421 toward the direction of approaching the shielding component 41 and squeeze the first reset member 61. The first stop member 63 can stop the first reset member 61 so that the first reset member 61 is compressed between the first stop member 63 and the pusher 62. When the connector 33 is removed from the mounting base 50, the first reset member 61 restores its elastic deformation and pushes the first sliding part 4211 along the slide groove 51 toward the direction away from the shielding component 41 through the pusher 62.

[0081] In some embodiments, a second stop 64 is further provided on the outer surface of the first tube 20 near the rack 421. The second stop 64 is located on the side of the pusher 62 near the first dust inlet 12. The second stop 64 is used to stop the pusher 62 when the first reset member 61 recovers its elastic deformation and the first sliding part 4211 slides into place along the slide groove 51 in a direction away from the shielding assembly 41, so as to stop the first sliding part 4211 from moving.

[0082] This application also provides a cleaning system. The cleaning system includes cleaning equipment and the cleaning base station 100 in any of the above embodiments.

[0083] In this embodiment, the specific structure of the cleaning base station 100 is the same as that in the above embodiments. Since the cleaning system adopts all the technical solutions of all the embodiments of the cleaning base station 100, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be described in detail here.

[0084] The above description is merely an embodiment of this application and does not limit the patent scope of this application.
