Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] In recent years, more automated cleaning equipment such as robotic vacuum cleaners and floor scrubbers have entered the lives of more and more people. These cleaning devices can significantly reduce the labor intensity of humans and improve people's lives. Robotic vacuum cleaners and floor scrubbers typically consist of a base station and a cleaning device. The cleaning device can move autonomously or under human operation within a room, cleaning the floor in the process.

[0003] After completing its cleaning task, the cleaning device can return to the base station and clean its mop to ensure cleanliness and improve floor cleaning effectiveness. Once cleaning is complete, the cleaning base can use hot air generated by the drying unit to dry the mop, preventing mold and odor. However, current drying units are mostly located inside the base station, leading to inconvenient installation and difficult maintenance. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a base station and cleaning equipment to address the problems of inconvenient installation and difficult maintenance of drying components.

[0005] A base station, comprising:

[0006] The base station body has a water receiving tank and a first air duct, one end of the first air duct being connected to the water receiving tank;

[0007] A fixed structure is installed on the outside of the base station body, and a second air duct is formed inside it, with one end of the second air duct connected to the other end of the first air duct;

[0008] A fan is installed at one end of the fixed structure away from the main body of the base station, and the air outlet of the fan is connected to the other end of the second air duct.

[0009] In one embodiment, the base station further includes a heating element disposed on the fixed structure and located within the second air duct.

[0010] In one embodiment, the fixing structure includes a first housing and a second housing that can be spliced ​​together along a splicing direction, the splicing direction intersecting the extension direction of the fixing structure, and at least one of the first housing and the second housing is fixed to the base station body.

[0011] In one embodiment, one of the first housing and the second housing is provided with a snap fastener, and the other is provided with a mating part, wherein the snap fastener can engage with the mating part.

[0012] In one embodiment, the second air duct includes a first air guide section and a second air guide section connected in sequence. The extension direction of the first air guide section intersects the extension direction of the second air guide section, and when the base station is in use, the first air guide section extends in the vertical direction.

[0013] In one embodiment, the base station further includes a fan sleeve, which is installed at the end of the fixed structure away from the base station body, and the fan is installed inside the fan sleeve.

[0014] In one embodiment, the base station body includes a base station base and a drying tray, the drying tray being detachably mounted on the base station base, and the drying tray and the base station base forming a first air duct.

[0015] In one embodiment, the drying tray is provided with a first pair of interfaces that communicate with the first air duct;

[0016] The end of the fixing structure away from the fan extends into the first pair of interfaces, and the fixing structure is spaced apart from the inner wall of the first pair of interfaces.

[0017] In one embodiment, the base station body is provided with a plurality of water receiving troughs, all of which are arranged at intervals along a first direction, and the first air duct is connected to each of the water receiving troughs. The first direction intersects the water receiving troughs and the extension direction of the fixed structure in pairs.

[0018] In one embodiment, the base station body further includes a flow guide, which is disposed in the first air duct and located between two adjacent water receiving tanks. The flow guide has a diversion part and two flow guide parts. The extension direction of the diversion part is parallel to the airflow direction in the first air duct. Each flow guide part is connected to the diversion part and bends toward the two water receiving tanks respectively.

[0019] A cleaning device includes a base station with a cleaning apparatus as described in any of the preceding claims, the cleaning apparatus including a cleaning element, wherein when the cleaning apparatus is located at the base station, the cleaning element is at least partially located within the water receiving tank.

[0020] In the aforementioned base station, the fan is mounted on the main body of the base station via a fixed structure. The drying airflow output by the fan is introduced into the first air duct of the base station main body through a second air duct within the fixed structure, and finally into a water collection tank through the first air duct for drying various components. Because the fan is mounted externally to the base station main body via a fixed structure, not only is the size of the base station main body reduced, but the installation position of the fan is also more flexible, making installation easier. Furthermore, the external location of the fan facilitates future maintenance or replacement. Attached Figure Description

[0036] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of this application. However, this application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this application. Therefore, this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0037] In the description of this application, it should be understood that if terms such as "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential" appear, these terms indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this application.

[0038] Furthermore, where the terms "first" and "second" appear, these terms are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this application, where the term "multiple" appears, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0039] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise expressly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0040] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the use of descriptions such as "above" or "below" the second feature indicates that the first and second features are in direct contact or indirect contact via an intermediate medium. Furthermore, "above," "on top of," and "over" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. Similarly, "below," "below," and "under" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0041] It should be noted that if an element is referred to as being "fixed to" or "set on" another element, it can be directly on the other element or there may be an intervening element. If an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intervening element. If so, the terms "vertical," "horizontal," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," and similar expressions used in this application are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only possible implementation.

[0042] See Figure 1 An embodiment of this application provides a clean base station, including a base station body 10. The base station body 10 has a water collection cavity formed inside, and a sewage suction port connected to the water collection cavity. A water collection tank 11 is formed on the surface of the base station body 10. The water collection tank 11 has a connecting port 17 and a drying port 16 inside. The connecting port 17 is connected to the water collection cavity, and the drying port 16 is used to output drying airflow toward the inside of the water collection tank 11.

[0043] Among them, see Figure 6 and Figure 7When the cleaning device is located at the cleaning base station, at least a portion of the cleaning components of the device is situated within the water collection tank 11, allowing wastewater generated during cleaning to fall into the tank. The wastewater falling into the tank enters the water collection chamber through the connecting port 17, and is then pumped out of the chamber via a suction port connected to it. In actual use, the suction port is connected to a wastewater tank in the cleaning base station, allowing wastewater from the water collection chamber to be temporarily stored in the tank for centralized processing by the user.

[0044] After cleaning, the cleaning parts need to be dried to prevent residual moisture from breeding bacteria and odors. To do this, a drying airflow is output through the drying port 16 and enters the water collection tank 11 to dry the cleaning parts. Furthermore, the drying airflow also cleans the water collection tank 11 after entering it, thereby reducing water residue within the tank.

[0045] When the drying airflow enters the water receiving tank 11, in addition to cleaning the cleaning components, some hot air can also enter the water receiving cavity through the connecting port 17, so that the drying airflow can dry the water receiving cavity. In actual use, after the sewage is pumped out of the water receiving cavity by the sewage suction port, there will still be some sewage residue in the water receiving tank 11 and the water receiving cavity. The drying airflow can reduce the water stains in the water receiving cavity, reduce the problem of the water receiving cavity becoming smelly due to not being cleaned for a long time, and improve the user experience.

[0046] Further, see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The base station also includes a fixed structure 20, a heating element 31, and a fan 30. A first air duct 12 is formed within the base station body 10, with one end connected to a drying port 16, allowing one end of the first air duct 12 to connect to a water tank 11. The fixed structure 20 is installed on the exterior of the base station body 10 and has a second air duct 21 formed inside it. One end of the second air duct 21 is connected to the end of the first air duct 12 away from the drying port 16. The fan 30 is installed on the end of the fixed structure 20 away from the base station body 10, and the fan 30's outlet is connected to the other end of the second air duct 21.

[0047] Thus, the drying airflow generated by the fan 30 enters the second air duct 21 and flows along the second air duct 21. Then, the gas in the second air duct 21 enters the first air duct 12 and finally enters the drying port 16 through the first air duct 12. Finally, the drying airflow is input into the water receiving tank 11 to dry the inside of the water receiving tank 11, the inside of the water receiving cavity, and other components such as cleaning parts.

[0048] In the aforementioned base station, the fan 30 is mounted on the base station body 10 via a fixing structure 20. The drying airflow output by the fan 30 is input into the first air duct 12 of the base station body 10 through the second air duct 21 within the fixing structure 20, and finally input into the water receiving tank 11 through the first air duct 12 for drying various components. Because the fan 30 is located outside the base station body 10 via the fixing structure 20, not only is the size of the base station body 10 reduced, but the installation position of the fan 30 is also more flexible, making installation more convenient. Furthermore, the external location of the fan 30 facilitates future maintenance or replacement.

[0049] In some embodiments of this application, see [reference] Figure 1 and Figure 5 The base station also includes a heating element 31, which is disposed on the fixed structure 20 and located in the second air duct 21. Thus, the drying airflow input by the fan 30 into the second air duct 21 will pass through the heating element 31, thereby heating the drying airflow to increase the temperature of the drying airflow and thus improve the drying effect on each component.

[0050] Optionally, the heating element 31 is a PCT heating element 31, which is installed inside the second air duct 21 and 25mm away from the air outlet of the fan 30, so that the drying airflow output by the fan 30 can be quickly heated to form hot air. It should be noted that in some other embodiments, the heating element 31 can also be directly installed inside the fan 30 so that the fan 30 can directly output hot air.

[0051] In some embodiments of this application, see [reference] Figure 4 and Figure 5 The fixed structure 20 includes a first shell 22 and a second shell 23 that can be spliced ​​together along the splicing direction. The splicing direction intersects with the extension direction of the fixed structure 20. The first shell 22 and the second shell 23 are both fixed on the base station body 10. When the first shell 22 and the second shell 23 are spliced ​​together, the first shell 22 and the second shell 23 form a second air duct 21.

[0052] Specifically Figure 4 and Figure 5In this embodiment, the extension direction of the fixing structure 20 is vertical, and the splicing direction is horizontal, so that the fixing structure 20 can be separated into two halves, namely the first housing 22 and the second housing 23. After the fixing structure 20 is separated into the first housing 22 and the second housing 23, the second air duct 21 is also in an open state. At this time, the heating element 31 can be installed into the second air duct 21 of the first housing 22 or the second housing 23. Then, the first housing 22 and the second housing 23 are spliced ​​together and fixed to the base station body 10 by screws or other means, thus completing the installation of the heating element 31.

[0053] Furthermore, one of the first housing 22 and the second housing 23 is provided with a buckle 24, and the other is provided with a mating part 25. The buckle 24 can engage with the mating part 25, thereby pressing the first housing 22 and the second housing 23 together. This prevents the drying airflow in the second air duct 21 from flowing out through the gap between the first housing 22 and the second housing 23, improves the sealing of the second air duct, reduces the wind speed of the drying airflow, and affects the drying effect.

[0054] Optionally, the first housing 22 is provided with a mating part 25, and the mating part 25 is a mating protrusion protruding from the outer surface of the first housing 22. The second housing 23 is provided with a latch 24, which hooks onto the mating protrusion, thereby pressing the first housing 22 and the second housing 23 together. Furthermore, to improve the pressing effect between the first housing 22 and the second housing 23, multiple mating parts 25 and latches 24 are included, all of which extend along the extension direction of the fixing structure 20. Figure 4 The clips are arranged at intervals in the vertical direction, and each clip 24 cooperates with the corresponding mating part 25 to ensure that the first housing 22 and the second housing 23 can be pressed together along the extension direction of the second air duct 21, thereby reducing the leakage of the drying airflow.

[0055] Furthermore, the first housing 22 and the second housing 23 are provided with a stop at the edge where they are joined. The stop not only facilitates the alignment of the first housing 22 and the second housing 23, but also seals the gap between the first housing 22 and the second housing 23, further reducing the leakage of the drying airflow.

[0056] In some embodiments of this application, the second air duct 21 includes a first air guide section 26 and a second air guide section 27 connected in sequence. The extension direction of the first air guide section 26 intersects the extension direction of the second air guide section 27, and when the base station is in use, the first air guide section 26 extends vertically. Thus, the second air duct 21 first changes from vertical to a certain angle of inclination, thereby better guiding the drying airflow into the water receiving tank 11, shortening the air delivery path, saving space, reducing heat loss, and improving drying efficiency.

[0057] In some embodiments of this application, the base station further includes a fan sleeve 32. The fan sleeve 32 is installed at the end of the fixed structure 20 away from the base station body 10, and the fan 30 is installed inside the fan sleeve 32. That is, the fan 30 is not directly installed on the fixed structure 20, but is indirectly installed on the fixed structure 20 through the fan sleeve 32. The fan sleeve 32 may be made of rubber, so that the fan sleeve 32 can not only fix the fan 30, but also have the effect of vibration reduction and noise reduction for the fan 30.

[0058] Furthermore, to ensure airtightness, the air outlet of the fan sleeve 32 and the air inlet of the fixed structure 20 are installed and connected by a stop fit, and the fan sleeve 32 and the fixed structure 20 are interference fit, so that the fan sleeve 32 and the fixed structure 20 can press against each other and cooperate with the stop, thereby sealing the gap between the fan sleeve 32 and the fixed structure 20 and reducing the leakage of drying airflow.

[0059] In some embodiments of this application, see [reference] Figure 6 and Figure 7 The base station body 10 includes a base station base 13 and a drying tray 14. The drying tray 14 is detachably mounted on the base station base 13, and the drying tray 14 and the base station base 13 form a first air duct 12. Thus, the drying tray 14 can be removed separately from the base station base 13 for individual cleaning of the drying tray 14 and the water collection tank 11 on it. Optionally, the drying tray 14 is attached to the base station base 13 to facilitate user removal or installation of the base station base 13.

[0060] Furthermore, when the user needs to remove the drying tray 14, to avoid interference between the drying tray 14 and the fixing structure 20, the drying tray 14 is provided with a first pair of interfaces 15 connected to the first air duct 12. The end of the fixing structure 20 away from the fan 30 extends into the first pair of interfaces 15, and the inner walls of the fixing structure 20 and the first pair of interfaces 15 are spaced apart. In actual use, the user will grasp the side of the drying tray 14 away from the fixing structure 20 and lift the drying tray 14 upwards to detach it from the base station base 13. As one side of the drying tray 14 is lifted, the other side will also move along with it. This will cause the edge of the drying tray 14 at the first pair of interfaces 15 to move towards the fixing structure 20. If the drying tray 14 directly connects with the fixing structure 20, it will cause interference between the edge of the drying tray 14 at the first pair of interfaces 15 and the fixing structure 20, preventing the drying tray 14 from moving upwards and thus preventing it from being removed.

[0061] By setting the inner wall of the fixed structure 20 and the first pair of interfaces 15 at intervals, the edge of the drying tray 14 at the first pair of interfaces 15 can move a certain distance toward the fixed structure 20, thereby allowing the drying tray 14 to break away from the limit of the base, and thus allowing the drying tray 14 to separate from the base and the fixed structure 20.

[0062] Furthermore, a second pair of interfaces 28 is formed at the end of the fixed structure 20 away from the fan 30. The second pair of interfaces 28 and the first pair of interfaces 15 are both inclined relative to the vertical direction and the horizontal plane, and the second pair of interfaces 28 is located above the first pair of interfaces 15, so that when the drying tray 14 is removed from the base, the inclined first pair of interfaces 15 can be more easily separated from the fixed structure 20.

[0063] In one specific embodiment, the fixing structure 20 is further provided with a limiting barrier 29 near the second pair of interfaces 28. The limiting barrier 29 is arranged around the second pair of interfaces 28 and spaced apart from it. When the drying tray 14 is installed into the base station base 13, the edge of the drying tray 14 at the first pair of interfaces 15 will abut against the limiting barrier 29, thereby limiting the movement of the drying tray 14 so that the user can quickly install the drying tray 14 into place.

[0064] In some embodiments of this application, the base station body 10 is provided with multiple water collection tanks 11, all of which are spaced apart along a first direction X. A first air duct 12 is connected to each water collection tank 11, and the first direction X intersects with the water collection tanks 11 and the extension direction of the fixing structure 20. In actual use, the cleaning device typically has multiple cleaning components to perform the cleaning operation together, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency. When the cleaning device is located at the base station, the multiple cleaning components are spaced apart along the first direction X, with each component located in one of the water collection tanks 11, so that the wastewater generated by each cleaning component during the cleaning process enters each water collection tank 11.

[0065] Each water tank 11 is equipped with a drying port 16, and the first air duct 12 is connected to the drying port 16 of each water tank 11, so that the drying airflow in the first air duct 12 can flow into each water tank 11 to clean the cleaning components in each water tank 11. Specifically... Figure 1 In one embodiment, the water receiving tank 11 includes two, and a drying port 16 is provided on the same end of the two water receiving tanks 11. Each drying port 16 is connected to the first air duct 12.

[0066] Further, see Figure 8 and Figure 9 The base station body 10 also includes a flow guide 40, which is disposed in the first air duct 12 and located between two adjacent water receiving tanks 11. The flow guide 40 has a diversion section 41 and two flow guide sections 42. The extension direction of the diversion section 41 is parallel to the airflow direction of the first air duct 12. Each flow guide section 42 is connected to the flow guide 40 and bends towards the two water receiving tanks 11 respectively. In this way, after the airflow passes through the diversion section 41, it will be divided into two airflows, and under the action of the two flow guide sections 42, they will be guided to the drying ports 16 of the two water receiving tanks 11 respectively, so as to evenly guide the airflow in the first air duct 12 to each drying port 16 and ensure the drying effect of each cleaning component.

[0067] It should be noted that the flow guide 40 can be selected according to the number of water receiving tanks 11. That is, when there are only two water receiving tanks 11, the flow guide 40 includes one, while when the number of water receiving tanks 11 is greater than two, multiple flow guides 40 can also be set. It is only necessary to set the air guide between two adjacent drying ports 16.

[0068] Furthermore, the surface of the guide portion 42 is arc-shaped, so that the airflow can pass smoothly over the surface of the guide portion 42 and be guided by the guide portion 42. Optionally, the extension direction of the first air duct 12 is perpendicular to the axial direction of the drying port 16, so that the drying component can be placed above the water receiving tank 11, and each guide portion 42 is bent at 90° so that the guide portion 42 can guide the airflow in the first air duct 12 into the corresponding water receiving tank 11.

[0069] Furthermore, each guide section 42 is bent to the side wall of each water receiving tank 11 facing the adjacent water receiving tank 11, so that the two guide sections 42 and the inner wall of the first air duct 12 form two air guiding chambers. Each air guiding chamber is connected to a water receiving tank 11. The drying airflow entering the first air duct 12 is guided to the two air guiding chambers under the action of the diverter. The airflow in the two air guiding chambers flows towards the two water receiving tanks 11 respectively under the guidance of the two guide sections 42 and the inner wall of the first air duct 12, thus completing the air supply to the two water receiving tanks 11.

[0070] Optionally, the flow guide 40 is disposed on the drying tray 14. When the drying tray 14 is installed on the base station base 13, the drying tray 14 and the base station base 13 form a first air duct 12. The flow guide 40 abuts against the base station base 13 so that the flow guide 40 can guide the drying airflow in the first air duct 12 and allow the drying airflow to flow into each water receiving tank 11.

[0071] The following combination Figure 1 The embodiments illustrate the advantages of the base of this application:

[0072] The fan 30 is installed in the fan sleeve 32, serving to reduce vibration and noise and fix the fan 30. The air duct and the fan sleeve 32 are installed and connected by a stop fit. To ensure airtightness, the fan sleeve 32 is designed with an interference fit. The heating element 31 is installed inside the air duct 25mm away from the air outlet of the fan 30 to ensure rapid formation of hot air. The air duct consists of a first housing 22 and a second housing 23. The first housing 22 and the second housing 23 are tightly fitted by a stop and a snap fastener 24 and are fixed to the base station body with screws to ensure the airtightness of the second air duct 21. The drying tray 14 is provided with an air guide, which consists of a straight diversion part 41 and a guide part 42 with a rounded surface.

[0073] In this design, the air outlet of the fan 30 is placed vertically downwards. First, the fan 30 sends air to the built-in P heating element 31 in the first air duct 12 to form hot air. The temperature of the hot air can be controlled by the temperature controller on the heating element 31. Then, the hot air is sent to the first air duct 12 of the base station body through the second air duct 21. After the air comes out of the air duct, it first passes through the diverter on the drying tray 14 to split the air into two. Then, the hot air is sent to each water receiving tank 11 through the arc surface of the two guide parts 42. Finally, the hot air passes through the straight wall of the water receiving tank 11 to fill the entire drying air duct, achieving the drying effect.

[0074] Furthermore, viewed from the side, the shape of the second air duct 21 in the fixed structure 20 changes from vertical to a certain angle of inclination. This is to better guide the air to the first air duct 12 of the base station body, shortening the air delivery path, saving space, reducing heat loss, and improving drying efficiency. An inclined stepped connection is used at the junction with the wastewater tray assembly, with a certain gap to minimize heat loss and facilitate the disassembly of the drying tray 14. Air from the fan 30 passes through the heating element 31 and is then delivered through the air duct to the two air guide chambers in the wastewater tray assembly. This eliminates the previous method of splitting the air in two at the air duct and then delivering air from the left and right sides to the middle, shortening the overall air delivery path, saving space, reducing heat loss and airflow loss, increasing the heat during drying, and achieving a better drying effect.

[0075] This application also provides a cleaning device, including a cleaning unit and a cleaning base station as described in any of the above embodiments. The cleaning unit can be a robotic vacuum cleaner or a floor scrubber, etc., while the cleaning component refers to the main body within the cleaning unit that performs the cleaning task, such as a roller mop. It should be noted that the cleaning component can be cleaned either by the cleaning unit itself or by the cleaning base station; the only requirement is that the wastewater generated during cleaning enters the water collection tank 11, and no limitation is made here.

[0076] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0077] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
