The base station, a crucial component of the robotic vacuum cleaner, is primarily responsible for charging the main unit and performing cleaning and maintenance. During the base station's cleaning and maintenance process, debris from the main unit's roller brushes easily accumulates on the base station's cleaning tank (used for cleaning the roller brushes), requiring regular manual cleaning and resulting in a poor user experience. Utility Model Content

[0010] Furthermore, the cleaning tank extends along the first direction of the main body, and the cleaning tank includes a first sidewall and a second sidewall disposed opposite to each other, with an air inlet provided on the first sidewall and a dust collection port provided on the second sidewall;

[0011] The first sidewall is located at the first end, the air inlet is connected to the cleaning tank, and the air outlet pipe is connected to the cleaning tank through the air inlet;

[0012] The second sidewall is located at the second end, the dust collection port is connected to the cleaning tank, and the first dust collection pipe is connected to the cleaning tank through the dust collection port.

[0013] Furthermore, along the height direction of the main body, the lower edges of both the air inlet and the dust collection port are lower than the bottom of the cleaning tank; or,

[0014] The lower edges of both the air inlet and the dust collection port are flush with the bottom of the cleaning tank.

[0015] Furthermore, the main body is also equipped with valves and a sewage tank, and the conveying channel also includes a third dust collection pipe and a suction pipe;

[0016] The valve includes a first interface, a second interface, a third interface, and a fourth interface, and the valve has a first state that controls the first interface to be connected to the second interface, a second state that controls the first interface to be connected to the third interface, and a third state that controls the first interface to be connected to the fourth interface.

[0017] The first interface is connected to the suction port of the dust collection box through the suction pipe, the second interface is connected to the dust collection port through the first dust collection pipe, the third interface is connected to the sewage outlet through the second dust collection pipe, and the fourth interface is connected to the sewage tank through the third dust collection pipe.

[0018] Furthermore, the main body is also provided with a first sealing strip and a second sealing strip. Both the first sealing strip and the second sealing strip extend along the extension direction of the cleaning tank. Along the second direction of the main body, the first sealing strip is located on the first side of the cleaning tank, and the second sealing strip is located on the second side of the cleaning tank opposite to the first side.

[0019] Furthermore, along the height direction of the main body, the fan is located above the cleaning tank, and the air outlet duct includes a first horizontal section, a vertical section, and a second horizontal section;

[0020] The first horizontal segment is a flat structure and extends along the first direction of the main body.

Through the action of the air outlet and air intake of a fan, the cleaning tank can be cleaned more effectively and thoroughly. In addition, the garbage in the cleaning tank can be collected into the dust collection box. Not only is the structure simple, but it can also improve the user experience.

[0038] It should be noted that, where there is no conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this utility model can be combined with each other. The present utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0039] It should be noted that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to the present invention. As used herein, the singular form is intended to include the plural form as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Furthermore, it should be understood that when the terms "comprising" and / or "including" are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components, and / or combinations thereof.

[0040] Unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangement, numerical expressions, and values ​​of the components and steps described in these embodiments do not limit the scope of this invention. It should also be understood that, for ease of description, the dimensions of the various parts shown in the drawings are not drawn to actual scale. Techniques, methods, and devices known to those skilled in the art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, such techniques, methods, and devices should be considered part of the specification. In all examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values ​​should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not as limitations. Therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values. It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters in the following drawings denote similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it need not be further discussed in subsequent drawings.

[0041] As mentioned in the background section, during the cleaning and maintenance of existing base stations, debris from the main unit's roller brush easily adheres to the surface of the base station's cleaning tank, requiring regular manual cleaning. This is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive but also provides a poor user experience. Therefore, to improve the user experience, cleaning structures have been added to base stations to clean the cleaning tank. However, current base station cleaning structures are generally quite complex, requiring additional cleaning pumps or suction mechanisms, which increases manufacturing costs and is not cost-effective. To address this, this invention provides a base station that eliminates the need for additional cleaning pumps or suction mechanisms. Instead, it utilizes the existing fan on the base station to clean the cleaning tank, allowing the original fan to simultaneously clean the base station's wastewater tank, the main unit's dust collection box, and the wastewater tank.

[0042] See Figures 1 to 9 As shown, according to an embodiment of the present invention, a base station is provided, which is at least used for cleaning the host 10. The base station includes a main body 20 and a conveying mechanism 30.

[0043] The main body 20 is equipped with a cleaning tank 21 and a dust collection box 22, and the dust collection box 22 is equipped with a suction port 221. The conveying mechanism 30 includes a fan 31, a conveying channel 32, and an exhaust channel 33. The fan 31 includes an air outlet 311 and an air intake 312. The air outlet 311 is connected to the first end 211 of the cleaning tank 21 through the exhaust channel 33. The air intake 312 is connected to the dust collection box 22 through the conveying channel 32. The conveying channel 32 is connected to the suction port 221 and is used to connect with the second end 212 of the cleaning tank 21 opposite to the first end 211.

[0044] In this application, the inventors solve the problems of complex cleaning structures and poor user experience of base stations by setting a conveying mechanism 30 on the base station. In actual operation, the fan 31 provides continuous power to the entire conveying mechanism 30 through the combined action of its outlet end 311 and intake end 312. On one hand, since the outlet end 311 of the fan 31 is connected to the first end 211 of the cleaning tank 21 through the exhaust channel 33, the air generated by the fan 31 during rotation can be transmitted to the first end 211 of the cleaning tank 21 through the exhaust channel 33, thereby blowing the garbage in the cleaning tank 21 to the second end 212. The second end 212 is connected to the intake port 221 of the dust collection box 22 through the conveying channel 32, and since the dust collection box 22 is connected to the intake end 312 of the fan 31, the garbage in the cleaning tank 21 can be sucked into the dust collection box 22 for collection.

[0045] In other words, compared with existing base stations, this application sets up a simple conveying mechanism 30 on the base station. Through the action of the air outlet 311 and air intake 312 of a fan 31, the cleaning tank 21 can be cleaned more effectively and thoroughly. In addition, the garbage in the cleaning tank 21 can be collected into the dust collection box 22. Not only is the structure simple, but it can also improve the user experience.

[0046] Further, see Figure 1 , Figure 3 as well as Figure 5 As shown, the exhaust duct 33 includes an outlet duct 331, the conveying duct 32 includes a first dust collection duct 322 and a second dust collection duct (not shown in the figure), and the main unit 10 is provided with a drain port 12. One end of the outlet duct 331 is connected to the outlet end 311, and the other end of the outlet duct 331 is connected to the first end 211 of the cleaning tank 21. One end of the first dust collection duct 322 is connected to the suction inlet 221, and the other end of the first dust collection duct 322 is connected to the second end 212 of the cleaning tank 21. The drain port 12 is connected to the dust collection box 11, and one end of the second dust collection duct is connected to the suction inlet 221, and the other end of the second dust collection duct is used to connect to the drain port 12.

[0047] Specifically, the design of the conveying channel 32 connects the various key components of the base station and the host 10, forming a complete cleaning system and ensuring the cleanliness of the cleaning tank 21 and the dust collection box 11. The air outlet duct 331 connects the air outlet end 311 and the first end 211, thereby making reasonable use of the air outlet end 311 of the existing unused fan 31 on the base station. This allows the air outlet end 311 to be guided to the first end 211 of the cleaning tank 21 to blow the garbage in the cleaning tank 21 to the second end 212 of the cleaning tank 21. Since the second end 212 is connected to the suction port 221 of the dust collection box 22 through the first dust collection duct 322, and since the dust collection box 22 is connected to the suction end 312 of the fan 31, the dust collection box 22 has a suction function. Thus, the garbage in the cleaning tank 21 can be sucked from the second end 212 into the dust collection box 22 through the first dust collection duct 322, thereby forming a complete channel for cleaning the cleaning tank 21.

[0048] Further, see Figure 1 , Figure 3 as well as Figure 5 As shown, the main unit includes a dust collection box and a drain outlet, which is connected to the dust collection box. One end of the second dust collection pipe is connected to the suction inlet, and the other end of the second dust collection pipe is connected to the drain outlet. Specifically, in this application, the second dust collection pipe connects the suction inlet 221 to the drain outlet 12 of the main unit 10. Thus, when the fan 31 is working, the dust collection box 22 can collect the waste in the dust collection box 11. The cleaning tank 21 and the dust collection box 11 can be cleaned using the same fan 31. Compared with existing base stations, the base station of this application is not only simple in structure but also has a lower manufacturing cost, making it economical and affordable. It can greatly improve the user experience.

[0049] Further, see Figure 2 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 as well as Figure 9 As shown, the cleaning tank 21 extends along the first direction of the main body 20, and the cleaning tank 21 includes a first sidewall 2111 and a second sidewall 2121 disposed opposite to each other. An air inlet 213 is provided on the first sidewall 2111, and a dust collection port 214 is provided on the second sidewall 2121. The first sidewall 2111 is located at the first end 211, and the air inlet 213 is connected to the cleaning tank 21. The air outlet duct 331 is connected to the cleaning tank 21 through the air inlet 213. The second sidewall 2121 is located at the second end 212, and the dust collection port 214 is connected to the cleaning tank 21. The first dust collection duct 322 is connected to the cleaning tank 21 through the dust collection port 214.

[0050] Specifically, the first direction is... Figure 9The direction indicated by x in the middle. The design of the air inlet 213 facilitates the connection of the air outlet duct 331 to the first side wall 2111 of the cleaning tank 21 and connects it to the cleaning tank 21, so that the air blown out by the air outlet 311 of the fan 31 can be guided to the first end 211 of the cleaning tank 21, thereby blowing the garbage in the cleaning tank 21 from the first end 211 to the second end 212. The design of the dust collection port 214 facilitates the connection of the first dust collection duct 322 to the second side wall 2121 of the cleaning tank 21 and connects it to the cleaning tank 21, so that the suction force generated by the air intake end 312 of the fan 31 can be transmitted to the second end 212 of the cleaning tank 21 through the dust collection box 22 and the first dust collection duct 322, thereby sucking the garbage in the cleaning tank 21 into the dust collection box 22. Furthermore, since the first sidewall 2111 and the second sidewall 2121 of this application are arranged opposite each other, the advantage of this design is that the air inlet 213 and the dust collection port 214 are located on the same straight line. This not only reduces the resistance encountered by the garbage in the cleaning tank 21 during movement, but also reduces the resistance encountered by the circulating air formed by the air outlet 311 and the air intake 312 of the fan 31 at the cleaning tank 21, which can improve the cleaning efficiency of the base station for the cleaning tank 21 to a certain extent.

[0051] Further, see Figure 2 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 as well as Figure 9 As shown, along the height direction of the main body 20, the lower edges of the air inlet 213 and the dust collection port 214 are both lower than the bottom of the cleaning tank 21. Alternatively, the lower edges of the air inlet 213 and the dust collection port 214 are flush with the bottom of the cleaning tank 21.

[0052] Specifically, the height direction of the main body 20 is... Figure 3 , Figure 6 as well as Figure 7The direction indicated by 'z'. In this application, the lower edges of the air inlet 213 and the dust collection port 214 can both be lower than the bottom of the cleaning tank 21, or both can be flush with the bottom of the cleaning tank 21. This embodiment shows the case where the lower edges of the air inlet 213 and the dust collection port 214 are both lower than the bottom of the cleaning tank 21. This application designs the lower edges of the air inlet 213 and the dust collection port 214 to be both lower than the bottom of the cleaning tank 21, or both flush with the bottom of the cleaning tank 21, because this design can improve the cleaning effect of the base station on the cleaning tank 21 to a certain extent. The air entering the cleaning tank 21 from the air inlet 213 can cover the inner wall of the cleaning tank 21, thereby effectively blowing the garbage in the cleaning tank 21 towards the dust collection port 214, avoiding garbage residue. At the same time, the lower edge of the dust collection port 214 is designed to be lower than the bottom of the cleaning tank 21, which can improve the dust collection efficiency of the dust collection port 214, thereby effectively avoiding garbage residue. If the lower edge of the air inlet 213 is designed to be higher than the bottom of the cleaning tank 21, the airflow from the air inlet 213 may not reach the connection between the air inlet 213 and the bottom of the cleaning tank 21, resulting in residue of debris and incomplete cleaning. If the lower edge of the dust collection port 214 is designed to be higher than the bottom of the cleaning tank 21, debris may be blown to the connection between the dust collection port 214 and the bottom of the cleaning tank 21, resulting in residue of debris and incomplete cleaning. Therefore, in this application, the lower edges of both the air inlet 213 and the dust collection port 214 are designed to be lower than the bottom of the cleaning tank 21, or flush with the bottom of the cleaning tank 21.

[0053] Further, see Figures 3 to 7 As shown, the main body 20 is also equipped with a valve 23 and a sewage tank 24. The conveying channel 32 also includes a third dust collection pipe 323 and a suction pipe 324. The valve 23 includes a first interface 231, a second interface 232, a third interface (not shown in the figure), and a fourth interface 233. The valve 23 has a first state that controls the first interface 231 and the second interface 232 to be connected, a second state that controls the first interface 231 and the third interface to be connected, and a third state that controls the first interface 231 and the fourth interface 233 to be connected. The first interface 231 is connected to the suction port 221 of the dust collection box 22 through the suction pipe 324. The second interface 232 is connected to the dust collection port 214 through the first dust collection pipe 322. The third interface is connected to the sewage outlet 12 through the second dust collection pipe (not shown in the figure). The fourth interface 233 is connected to the sewage tank 24 through the third dust collection pipe 323.

[0054] Specifically, when valve 23 is in the first state, the first interface 231 and the second interface 232 are connected. At this time, the fan 31 draws the waste from the second end 212 of the cleaning tank 21 into the first dust collection pipe 322 through the suction action of the suction end 312. Then, through the opening action of valve 23, the waste is finally guided into the dust collection box 22 for collection via the suction pipe 324. When valve 23 is in the second state, the first interface 231 is connected to the third interface. At this time, through the suction action of the suction end 312 of the fan 31, the waste in the dust collection box 11 of the main unit 10 can be drawn into the second dust collection pipe. Then, through the opening action of valve 23, the waste is finally guided into the dust collection box 22 for collection via the suction pipe 324. When valve 23 is in the third state, the first interface 231 and the fourth interface 233 are connected. Through the suction action of the suction end 312 of the fan 31, the garbage in the sewage tank 24 can be sucked into the third dust collection pipe 323, and then, through the conduction action of valve 23, it is finally introduced into the dust collection box 22 for collection through the suction pipe 324. That is to say, the base station of this application can simultaneously collect the garbage from the cleaning tank 21, the dust collection box 11, and the sewage tank 24 into the dust collection box 22 through the action of the same fan 31. It should be noted that, in order to prevent the garbage in the cleaning tank 21 from being blown out and causing secondary pollution during the operation of the base station, when actually put into use, valve 23 is first switched to the first state to collect the garbage in the cleaning tank 21. After the cleaning of the cleaning tank 21 is completed, valve 23 is then switched to the second or third state for subsequent cleaning work.

[0055] Further, see Figure 1 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 as well as Figure 9 As shown, the main body 20 is also provided with a first sealing strip 25 and a second sealing strip 26. Both the first sealing strip 25 and the second sealing strip 26 extend along the extension direction of the cleaning tank 21. Along the second direction of the main body 20, the first sealing strip 25 is located on the first side 215 of the cleaning tank 21, and the second sealing strip 26 is located on the second side 216 of the cleaning tank 21 opposite to the first side 215.

[0056] Specifically, the extending direction of the cleaning tank 21 is... Figure 9 The direction indicated by x in the middle is the second direction. Figure 9The direction indicated by 'y' in the text. To prevent the waste in the cleaning tank 21 from being blown out of the base station and causing secondary pollution during the collection process, the opening of the cleaning tank 21 needs to be sealed as much as possible. Therefore, when the base station is collecting waste from the cleaning tank 21, it is necessary to ensure that the host 10 is in the returned position (i.e., the host 10 is at the top of the cleaning tank 21 and completely covers the cleaning tank 21). However, in existing base stations, when the host 10 is in the returned position, there is a certain gap between the host 10 and the opening of the cleaning tank 21. This not only causes the waste in the cleaning tank 21 to be blown out of the base station by the air inlet 213, causing secondary pollution, but may also reduce the cleaning efficiency of the base station. Therefore, this application provides a first sealing strip 25 and a second sealing strip 26 on opposite sides of the cleaning tank 21 (i.e., the first side 215 and the second side 216), respectively. The first sealing strip 25 and the second sealing strip 26 cooperate with the bottom of the host 10 to improve the sealing between the cleaning tank 21 and the host. This not only prevents the garbage in the cleaning tank 21 from being blown out and causing secondary pollution, but also improves the cleaning efficiency of the base station to a certain extent.

[0057] Further, see Figure 4 , Figures 6 to 9 As shown, along the height direction of the main body 20 (i.e. Figure 3 , Figure 6 as well as Figure 7 (In the direction indicated by z in the text), the fan 31 is located above the cleaning tank 21, and the air outlet duct 331 includes a first horizontal section 3311, a vertical section 3312, and a second horizontal section 3313. The first horizontal section 3311 has a flat structure and extends along the first direction of the main body 20. The first horizontal section 3311 is located above the cleaning tank 21 and is connected to the vertical section 3312 and the air outlet end 311 of the fan 31. The vertical section 3312 extends along the height direction of the main body 20. The second horizontal section 3313 extends along the first direction of the main body 20 and is connected to the end of the vertical section 3312 opposite to the first horizontal section 3311. The end of the second horizontal section 3313 opposite to the vertical section 3312 is connected to the first end 211 of the cleaning tank 21.

[0058] Specifically, this application cleverly utilizes the internal space of the main body 20 by placing the fan 31 above the cleaning tank 21 and designing the structure of the air outlet duct 331. This makes the overall structure of the base station more compact and, to a certain extent, more portable and space-adaptable. The specific design of the air outlet duct 331, including a first horizontal section 3311, a vertical section 3312, and a second horizontal section 3313, helps optimize the airflow path generated by the fan 31, reduces airflow resistance, and thus improves the working efficiency and airflow delivery effect of the fan 31. The flat structure design of the first horizontal section 3311 can improve the utilization rate of the internal space of the main body 20 to a certain extent. Since the fan 31 is placed above the cleaning tank 21, the flat structure allows the first horizontal section 3311 to better adapt to the narrow space between the host 10 and the fan 31. If the first horizontal segment 3311 is not designed as a flat structure, it may interfere with the original location of the host 10, forcing the user to increase the size of the base station to increase the space reserved for the host 10, thus reducing the portability of the base station. Therefore, the flat structure design can optimize the structure and layout of the air outlet duct 331. In addition, the vertical segment 3312 extends along the height of the main body 20, not only serving as a bridge connecting the first horizontal segment 3311 and the second horizontal segment 3313, ensuring that the airflow can rise vertically and continue to be transmitted, but also providing some support for the first horizontal segment 3311, enhancing the structural stability of the air outlet duct 331.

[0059] Further, see Figure 2 , Figures 6 to 9 As shown, a tray 27 is also provided on the main body 20. The tray 27 is detachably disposed at the bottom of the main body 20, and the cleaning tank 21 is disposed on the tray 27, along the second direction of the main body 20 (i.e., Figure 9 (in the direction indicated by y) the cutting tray 27, the inner wall cross section of the cleaning tank 21 is arc-shaped.

[0060] Specifically, the detachable design of tray 27 allows users to periodically remove the cleaning tank 21 to thoroughly clean the gap between tray 27 and the main body 20, preventing dust and dirt accumulation and maintaining the hygiene and performance of the base station. Simultaneously, the detachable nature of tray 27 allows users to easily remove it for cleaning or replacement, making maintenance more convenient. The rounded inner wall cross-section helps reduce airflow resistance within the cleaning tank, improving airflow speed and dust collection efficiency. Furthermore, the inner wall of the cleaning tank 21 is arc-shaped when the tray 27 is cut along the first direction of the main body 20. That is, when the cleaning tank 21 is cut along the direction perpendicular to the cleaning tank 21, the inner wall of the cleaning tank 21 is arc-shaped. The arc-shaped design allows the garbage in the cleaning tank 21 to slide down to the lowest point of the cleaning tank 21 (i.e., the lowest point of the arc shape along the height direction of the main body 20) after the host 10 completes the self-cleaning of the roller 13 on the base station. This facilitates the effective collection of garbage from the cleaning tank 21 by the air outlet duct 331 and the first dust collection duct 322.

[0061] Optionally, along the second direction of the main body 20 (i.e. Figure 9 (in the direction indicated by y) and close to one end of the cleaning tank 21, the two sides of the tray 27, which corresponds to the first end 211 and the second end 212 of the cleaning tank 21, gradually converge towards the middle of the first end 211 and the second end 212.

[0062] Specifically, in this application, the two sides of the tray 27 gradually converge towards the middle of the first end 211 and the second end 212, that is, the tray 27 converges along the first direction (i.e., Figure 9 The two sides of the middle x direction) along the second direction (i.e. Figure 9 The direction indicated by 'y' gradually converges towards the middle of the first end 211 and the second end 212. This design facilitates the user's disassembly and installation of the tray 27. Furthermore, to make it easier for the user to remove the tray for cleaning or replacement, the connection points of the air outlet duct 331 and the first dust collection duct 322 with the tray are designed with beveled openings that fit more closely to the two sides of the tray 27. This makes it easier for the user to detach and connect the air outlet duct 331 and the first dust collection duct 322 from the tray 27 when disassembling or installing the tray 27 from the main body 20.

[0063] On the other hand, this application also mentions a cleaning device, such as a sweeper, floor scrubber, or carpet cleaner, and this cleaning device includes the aforementioned base station. Therefore, the cleaning device encompasses all the technical effects of the aforementioned base station. Since the technical effects of the base station have already been described in detail above, they will not be repeated here.

[0064] As can be seen from the above description, this application, by setting up a base station composed of the main body 20 and the conveying mechanism 30, can at least solve the problems of complex cleaning structures and poor user experience associated with traditional base stations. In actual operation, valve 23 is first switched to the first state. Through the combined action of the air outlet 311 and air intake 312 of the fan 31, after the base station has finished cleaning the cleaning tank 21, valve 23 is then switched to the second or third state to clean the dust collection box 11 or the wastewater tank 24. In other words, the base station of this application can complete the cleaning of the cleaning tank 21, dust collection box 11, and wastewater tank 24 through the action of a single fan 31. Furthermore, it can collect all the waste from the cleaning tank 21, dust collection box 11, and wastewater tank 24 into the dust collection box 22, facilitating final waste disposal for the user.

[0065] As can be seen, the base station of this application can complete the cleaning work of previous cleaning structures through a simple structural design, and can clean the cleaning tank 21, dust collection box 11, and wastewater tank 24 by drawing multiple air ducts from a single fan 31. Compared with existing base stations, it is not only simple in structure, but also has lower manufacturing costs, is easier to maintain, and brings better benefits to users.

[0066] For ease of description, spatial relative terms such as "above," "on top of," "on the upper surface of," "above," etc., are used herein to describe the spatial positional relationship of a device or feature as shown in the figures to other devices or features. It should be understood that spatial relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations in use or operation beyond the orientation of the device as described in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures were inverted, a device described as "above" or "on top of" other devices or structures would subsequently be positioned as "below" or "under" other devices or structures. Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both "above" and "below." The device may also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatial relative descriptions used herein will be interpreted accordingly.

[0067] Furthermore, it should be noted that the use of terms such as "first" and "second" to define components is merely for the purpose of distinguishing the corresponding components. Unless otherwise stated, the above terms have no special meaning and therefore cannot be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0068] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
