[0030] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0031] Please refer to Figures 1 to 10To address the technical problems described in the background section, embodiments of this utility model provide a base station structure, comprising: a base station body 1, on which an installation groove 11 is provided; and a water tank assembly 2, which is detachably installed in the installation groove 11. The installation groove 11 has an opening through which the water tank assembly 2 can be inserted into or removed from the installation groove 11. When the base station structure is in use, a portion of the opening faces upward so that the water tank assembly 2 can be removed upward; the other portion of the opening faces sideways so that the water tank assembly 2 can be removed laterally.
[0032] In the base station structure designed as described above, part of the opening faces upwards, allowing the water tank assembly 2 to be removed upwards from the mounting slot 11. The other part of the opening faces sideways, enabling the water tank assembly 2 to also be removed laterally from the mounting slot 11. Therefore, this base station structure design allows for the installation and positioning of the water tank assembly 2 while simultaneously exposing it more fully, facilitating its removal from the mounting slot 11. Compared to related technologies that design the mounting slot 11 as a hole structure, the base station structure of this embodiment allows for easier alignment and placement of the water tank assembly 2 during installation, and easier detachment from the mounting slot 11 during removal. This semi-open installation structure greatly facilitates the installation and removal of the water tank assembly 2, making maintenance of the water tank assembly 2 or other components easier, and solving the technical problem of inconvenient water tank installation and disassembly in related technologies. It should be noted that, in the base station structure of this utility model embodiment, since the water tank assembly 2 can be removed laterally, the portion with the opening facing to the side extends to the bottom of the water tank assembly 2, that is, at least one side of the water tank assembly 2 is completely exposed from top to bottom, thereby ensuring that the water tank assembly 2 can be smoothly removed laterally.
[0033] In a preferred embodiment, the mounting groove 11 has a bottom wall 12 and a side wall 13. When the water tank assembly 2 is installed in the mounting groove 11, the bottom wall 12 supports the bottom of the water tank assembly 2, and at least a portion of the opening is located on the side wall 13, extending to the bottom wall 12.
[0034] With the above structural design, by setting at least a portion of the opening of the mounting groove 11 on the side wall 13 and extending to the bottom wall 12, the mounting groove 11 can have a semi-open structure, better exposing the internal space and facilitating the installation and removal of the water tank assembly 2. Since the opening extends to the bottom wall 12 of the mounting groove 11, if water accidentally flows into the mounting groove 11 during use, the water can be drained in time through the opening, which helps to reduce the risk of bacterial growth or electrical short circuits.
[0035] In a preferred embodiment, the opening located on the side wall 13 allows the water tank assembly 2 to pass through; the base station body 1 and / or the water tank assembly 2 are provided with a positioning structure 14, which prevents the water tank assembly 2 from moving toward the opening in the side wall 13 when the water tank assembly 2 is installed into the mounting slot 11.
[0036] In this embodiment, the size of the opening has been further designed so that the portion of the opening located on the side wall 13 allows the water tank assembly 2 to pass through. In other words, the water tank assembly 2 can be removed through the opening on the side wall of the mounting groove 11. Furthermore, a positioning structure 14 is designed to prevent the water tank assembly 2 from moving towards the opening on the side wall 13 when it is installed in the mounting groove 11. Thus, when the water tank assembly 2 is installed in the mounting groove 11, the positioning structure 14 and the bottom wall 12 and side wall 13 of the mounting groove 11 ensure the stability of the water tank assembly 2 installation and prevent it from detaching from the mounting groove 11. When it is necessary to remove the water tank assembly 2, it is only necessary to slightly separate the water tank assembly 2 from the base station body 1, thereby disabling the positioning structure 14. At this point, the water tank assembly 2 can be removed through the opening on the side wall 13 of the mounting groove 11 without raising it excessively. This structural design not only further facilitates the removal and placement of the water tank assembly 2 but also ensures the stability of the water tank assembly 2 installation.
[0037] In one specific embodiment, the positioning structure 14 includes a protrusion 141 and a recess 142, one of which is disposed on the water tank assembly 2 and the other is disposed on the base station body 1. When the water tank assembly 2 is installed into the mounting groove 11, the protrusion 141 is inserted into the recess 142.
[0038] In this embodiment, the positioning structure 14 is designed to include a protrusion 141 and a recess 142. By inserting the protrusion 141 into the recess 142, it can serve as a limit, preventing the water tank assembly 2 from moving toward the opening of the side wall 13. Of course, this is only a preferred embodiment, and the positioning structure 14 can also be in other structural forms, as long as it can prevent the water tank assembly 2 from falling out of the mounting groove 11.
[0039] Specifically, the opening also extends to the top of the base station body 1, and is provided on the protrusion 141 or the recess 142 of the base station body 1 extending toward the opening at the top of the base station body 1.
[0040] By extending the opening of the mounting groove 11 to the top of the base station body 1, the water tank assembly 2 can have more room to move in the vertical direction. Based on this, the protrusion 141 and the recess 142 are designed to extend toward the opening at the top of the base station body 1. Therefore, when the water tank assembly 2 is lifted upward, the protrusion 141 and the recess 142 will separate and lose their positioning function. At this time, the water tank assembly 2 can be taken out through the opening in the side wall of the mounting groove 11. Thus, when taking out the water tank assembly 2, only a slight lifting action and a pulling action are needed. When installing the water tank assembly 2, only a pushing action and a lowering action are needed, which further simplifies the installation and removal operation of the water tank assembly 2.
[0041] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the bottom wall 12 has a raised boss 15, and the boss 15 is provided with a docking component. The docking component connects the pipeline in the base station body 1 with the pipeline in the water tank assembly 2. There are multiple positioning structures 14, and both the bottom wall 12 and the boss 15 are provided with positioning structures 14; and / or, the water tank assembly 2 includes multiple water tanks, and there are multiple positioning structures 14, with a positioning structure 14 provided at the corresponding position of each water tank.
[0042] By designing a boss 15 on the bottom wall of the mounting groove 11 and setting a docking component on the boss 15, the docking position can be closer to the top opening of the mounting groove 11, making it easier to observe and ensuring the docking accuracy of the docking component. Based on this, multiple positioning structures 14 are designed, with positioning structures 14 on both the bottom wall 12 and the boss 15. This creates a height difference between the different positioning structures 14, thereby positioning the water tank assembly 2 at different heights, ensuring the stability of the water tank assembly 2 after installation, and preventing the water tank assembly 2 from tipping over.
[0043] When the water tank assembly 2 includes multiple water tanks, by setting a positioning structure corresponding to the position of each water tank, the positioning effect at the position of the water tank can be strengthened in a targeted manner, avoiding the situation where the water tank assembly 2 tilts or falls off due to insufficient positioning reliability at the position with greater force, thus ensuring the reliability of the installation of the water tank assembly 2.
[0044] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the water tank assembly 2 includes: a tank body 20, the interior of which has a space for containing water; a bottom shell 21, which is detachably installed at the bottom of the tank body 20, forming a receiving cavity between the tank body 20 and the bottom shell 21, and the receiving cavity is provided with at least one of the following: a pump, which drives water to flow into or out of the water tank assembly 2; and an electrically controlled valve, which is installed in a pipeline within the water tank assembly 2.
[0045] In this embodiment, a detachable bottom shell 21 is designed at the bottom of the tank 20. The bottom shell 21 and the bottom of the tank 20 form a receiving cavity, and electrical components such as pumps and electric control valves are placed in this receiving cavity. This arrangement helps to lower the center of gravity of the water tank assembly 2, thereby ensuring the stability of the water tank assembly 2 after placement. On the other hand, it can achieve better water and electricity separation, improve the protection effect of electrical components such as pumps and electric control valves, and the internal electrical components can be easily maintained by disassembling the bottom shell 21.
[0046] In this embodiment, the base station body 1 and / or the water tank assembly 2 are provided with an electrode assembly. When the water tank assembly 2 is installed in the mounting slot 11, the electrode assembly connects the circuit in the base station body 1 with the circuit in the water tank assembly 2. The electrode assembly includes: a first contact group, which includes a plurality of first contacts 31; a second contact group, which corresponds to the first contact group and includes a plurality of second contacts 32; a first bracket 33 and a second bracket 34, which is mounted on the first bracket 33 and is movably arranged in a direction close to or away from the first bracket 33, and the plurality of second contacts 32 are all mounted on the second bracket 34; and a plurality of elastic elements 35, which cooperate with the first bracket 33 and the second bracket 34 to apply a force away from the first bracket 33 to the second bracket 34; wherein the positions of the plurality of elastic elements 35 correspond one-to-one with the positions of the plurality of second contacts 32.
[0047] Multiple elastic elements 35 can push the second bracket 34 and its multiple second contacts 32 away from the first bracket 33, thereby protruding more fully outward from the first bracket 33 and making contact with the multiple first contacts 31. It should be noted that by designing multiple elastic elements 35, with each elastic element 35 corresponding one-to-one with the multiple second contacts 32, a more balanced pushing force can be applied to the second bracket 34 through the multiple elastic elements 35. This drives the multiple second contacts 32 to make more reliable contact with the multiple first contacts 31, reducing the occurrence of poor contact between the first contacts 31 and second contacts 32 in localized areas due to unbalanced forces. In actual implementation, the specific form of the elastic element 35 can be varied, as long as it can perform an elastic function to drive the second contacts 32 to contact the first contacts 31, such as springs, tension springs, elastic bands, etc.
[0048] In another optional embodiment, there are multiple elastic elements 35, and each elastic element 35 makes contact with a corresponding second contact 32, thereby driving the corresponding second contact 32 to contact the corresponding first contact 31 through each elastic element 35. This avoids entanglement between the various second contacts 32, allowing each of the multiple second contacts 32 to move more freely, which is beneficial to improving the contact effect between the multiple second contacts 32 and the multiple first contacts 31.
[0049] In addition, the base station structure includes a cleaning agent container 4, which is installed inside the base station body 1; the water tank assembly 2 includes: a housing 20, the interior of which has a space for containing water, and a cleaning agent channel 41 inside the housing 20, which connects to the cleaning agent container 4; a top shell 22, which is installed on the top of the housing 20 to cover the interior of the housing 20, and has a cleaning agent inlet 221 on the top shell 22, the position of which corresponds to the position of the cleaning agent channel 41; and a cover 23, which is detachably installed on the top shell 22 to cover the cleaning agent inlet 221.
[0050] By installing a cleaning agent container 4 inside the base station body 1, and correspondingly, a cleaning agent channel 41 inside the housing 20, and a cleaning agent filling port 221 on the top shell 22, cleaning agent can be added to the cleaning agent container 4 through the cleaning agent filling port 221 on the top shell 22 and the cleaning agent channel 41 on the housing 20 during actual use. This allows for cleaning agent replenishment without disassembling the water tank assembly 2. After the cleaning agent has been replenished, the cleaning agent filling port 221 can be sealed with the cover 23 to prevent foreign objects from entering the cleaning agent container 4 or the cleaning agent in the cleaning agent container 4 from spilling out.
[0051] The base station body 1 is equipped with a controller. The water tank assembly 2 includes a first water tank 24 and a second water tank 25 spaced apart. The water tank assembly 2 also includes at least one of the following: a one-way valve 26, which connects the first water tank 24 and the second water tank 25. When the water level in the first water tank 24 reaches a preset height, the water in the first water tank 24 can flow into the second water tank 25 through the one-way valve 26; a water supply pipe 241; an electrically controlled valve 242; and a first float valve 243. The water supply pipe 241 is used for... The first water tank 24 is connected to an external water source. An electrically controlled valve 242 and a first float valve 243 are sequentially installed on the water supply pipe 241. The first float valve 243 is located inside the first water tank 24 and installed at one end of the water supply pipe 241. When the first water tank 24 is full, the first float valve 243 closes. The electrically controlled valve 242 is communicatively connected to the controller. A water supply pipe 244 is also connected; one end of the water supply pipe 244 is connected to the first water tank 24, and the other end is connected to the base station body 1. The system includes a pipeline connection to supply water from the first water tank 24 to the water-using equipment via the water supply pipeline 244 and the pipeline of the base station body 1; a second float valve 253 and a full-fill feedback component, the second float valve 253 being located at the inlet of the second water tank 25, and the full-fill feedback component being communicatively connected to the controller, the second float valve 253 closing when the second water tank 25 is full; a drainage pipeline 254 and a pump 255, the pump 255 being located in the drainage pipeline 254 to drive the second water tank 25. Water in tank 25 is discharged through drain pipe 254. Pump 255 is communicatively connected to controller. Filter component 256 is installed in the second water tank 25. Filter component 256 divides the second water tank 25 into a first chamber 251 and a second chamber 252. Water in the first chamber 251 can flow to the second chamber 252 through filter component 256. The inlet of the second water tank 25 is connected to the first chamber 251, and the outlet of the second water tank 25 is connected to the second chamber 252.
[0052] In this embodiment, a one-way valve 26 is provided between the first water tank 24 and the second water tank 25. When the liquid level in the first water tank 24 reaches a preset height, the water in the first water tank 24 can overflow into the second water tank 25 through the one-way valve 26, thereby preventing the water in the first water tank 24 from overflowing to the outside of the base station structure. Preferably, the base station body 1 includes a partition, with the first water tank 24 and the second water tank 25 spaced apart. The partition is located between the first water tank 24 and the second water tank 25, thereby better positioning the water tank assembly 2.
[0053] By setting up a water supply pipeline 241 including an electrically controlled valve 242 and a first float valve 243, water supply can be controlled through the electrically controlled valve 242 and the first float valve 243, preventing water from overflowing the first water tank 24 once it is full. Specifically, when the first water tank 24 is full, the float of the first float valve 243 rises, thereby closing the first float valve 243. Combined with the closing of the electrically controlled valve 242, water supply can be more reliably cut off, preventing water from overflowing the first water tank 24. The electrically controlled valve 242 is an electric control valve, which uses electrical signals to control its on / off state, such as a solenoid valve, or a valve driven to open or close by a control motor, pneumatic actuator, etc. In actual implementation, the on / off control method of the solenoid valve 242 can be selected in several different ways. For example, after the solenoid valve 242 has been opened for a preset time, it can be controlled to close. Another example is that when the liquid flow rate in the water supply pipe 241 is detected to be lower than the preset flow rate, the solenoid valve 242 can be controlled to close. Yet another example is that when the water pressure on the side of the solenoid valve 242 near the first float valve 243 is detected to reach the preset water pressure, the solenoid valve 242 can be controlled to close, and so on.
[0054] The water supply pipe 244 is used to supply water to the water-using equipment. One end of it is connected to the first water tank 24, and the other end is connected to the pipe in the base station body 1. Thus, the water in the first water tank 24 is delivered to the water-using equipment through the water supply pipe 244 and the pipe in the base station body 1. As a preferred embodiment, the water tank assembly 2 also includes a filter structure 245, which is disposed in the water supply pipe 244 (e.g., at the end of the water supply pipe 244 or in the main body of the pipe) to filter the water supply and ensure water quality.
[0055] By installing a second float valve 253 and a full-fill feedback component inside the second water tank 25, the second float valve 253 closes when the second water tank 25 is full, thereby preventing external water from continuing to enter the second water tank 25. The full-fill feedback component is communicatively connected to the controller, thus promptly feeding back the full-fill signal to the controller, facilitating timely intervention and control after the second water tank 25 is full, reducing the risk of water overflow. In an optional embodiment, the second float valve 253 and the full-fill feedback component are integrated into a single float structure, which functions as both a float valve and a full-fill feedback component. In other optional embodiments, the second float valve 253 and the full-fill feedback component can also be two independent components, each independently performing its respective function.
[0056] By designing a drainage pipe 254 and a pump 255, the pump 255 can drive the water in the second water tank 25 to be discharged through the drainage pipe 254, thereby preventing the water in the second water tank 25 from overflowing. Specifically, the pump 255 is communicatively connected to the controller, which can flexibly control the start and stop of the pump 255 to control the drainage. For example, after the liquid full feedback component detects that the second water tank 25 is full and feeds back the liquid full signal to the controller, the controller can control the pump 255 to start and discharge the water in the second water tank 25.
[0057] In a preferred embodiment, the second water tank 25 is equipped with a filter element 256, which divides the second water tank 25 into a first chamber 251 and a second chamber 252. Water in the first chamber 251 flows through the filter element 256 to the second chamber 252, while external water enters the first chamber 251 through an inlet, is filtered by the filter element 256, and then flows into the second chamber 252. The filtered water in the second chamber 252 is discharged through a pump 255 and a drain pipe 254. In this way, the water in the second water tank 25 is filtered before discharge, effectively separating foreign matter and reducing the risk of blockage in the drain pipe or sewer. In an optional embodiment, the filter element 256 is a plate-like structure that divides the second water tank 25 into the aforementioned first chamber 251 and second chamber 252. Of course, in other embodiments, the filter element 256 can also be any other shape, as long as it is located between the first chamber 251 and the second chamber 252 and can perform the filtration function.
[0058] In one specific embodiment, the first water tank 24 is a clean water tank, and the second water tank 25 is a wastewater tank. The water supply pipe 241 can be connected to an external water source (e.g., tap water) to supply water to the first water tank 24. Preferably, a pressure reducing valve 2411 is provided at the inlet of the water supply pipe 241 to reduce the water pressure and prevent excessive water pressure from damaging the internal pipes of the base station structure. A check valve is provided at the outlet of the drainage pipe 254 to prevent discharged wastewater from flowing back into the wastewater tank. A water supply connector 2441 is provided at the end of the water supply pipe 244 that connects to the base station body 1. When the water tank assembly 2 is assembled with the base station body 1, the water supply connector 2441 connects with the corresponding connector on the base station body 1 to supply water to the internal pipes of the base station body 1. The second water tank 25 has an inlet connector 2531 at its inlet. When the water tank assembly 2 is assembled with the base station body 1, the inlet connector 2531 connects with the corresponding connector on the base station body 1, thereby sending sewage to the sewage tank through the pipeline inside the base station body 1. In this embodiment, the sewage tank also has an air vent 2532. When the water tank assembly 2 is assembled with the base station body 1, the air vent 2532 connects with the corresponding connector on the base station body 1, thereby connecting the negative pressure structure inside the base station body 1 with the sewage tank. During use, the negative pressure structure evacuates the sewage tank, and external sewage flows into the sewage tank under the negative pressure. To ensure the vacuuming effect of the sewage tank, the sewage tank also includes a sealing cover 257 and a sealing ring. The sealing cover 257 is placed on the top of the sewage tank, and a sealing ring is provided between the sewage tank and the sealing cover 257, thereby improving the sealing performance of the sewage tank and ensuring the vacuuming effect.
[0059] In addition, embodiments of this utility model also provide a cleaning device, which includes a main unit and a base station structure. The main unit is used to clean the external environment. The main unit and the base station structure can be connected and detached. When the main unit is connected to the base station structure, the pipes of the main unit are connected to the pipes of the base station structure, so that water in the main unit flows into the water tank assembly 2 of the base station structure, or water in the water tank assembly 2 flows into the main unit. In actual implementation, the cleaning device can be a device with any cleaning function, such as a sweeper, a floor scrubber, etc.
[0060] As can be seen from the above description, the embodiments of this utility model achieve the following technical effects:
[0061] The base station structure of this utility model embodiment includes: a base station body 1, on which a mounting groove 11 is provided; and a water tank assembly 2, which is detachably mounted in the mounting groove 11. The mounting groove 11 has an opening, through which the water tank assembly 2 can be inserted into or removed from the mounting groove 11. When the base station structure is in use, a portion of the opening faces upwards, allowing the water tank assembly 2 to be removed upwards; the other portion of the opening faces sideways, allowing the water tank assembly 2 to be removed laterally. With this structural design, the opening faces upwards, allowing the water tank assembly 2 to be removed upwards from the mounting groove 11, while the other portion faces sideways, allowing the water tank assembly 2 to be removed laterally from the mounting groove 11. Therefore, this structural design allows for the installation and positioning of the water tank assembly 2 while also exposing it more fully, facilitating its removal from the mounting groove 11. Compared to related technologies that design the mounting slot 11 as a hole structure, the base station structure of this embodiment allows for easier alignment and placement of the water tank assembly 2 during installation, and easier detachment from the mounting slot 11 during removal. This semi-open installation structure greatly facilitates the installation and removal of the water tank assembly 2, making maintenance of the water tank assembly 2 or other components easier, and solving the technical problem of inconvenient water tank installation and disassembly in related technologies.
