Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] In the field of cleaning equipment technology, existing cleaning equipment usually only comes with a fixed set of cleaning components, which makes it impossible for existing cleaning equipment to clean different surfaces effectively and to meet different cleaning needs.

[0003] Furthermore, the cleaning effectiveness of the cleaning components gradually diminishes during use, requiring users to manually replace them to restore the cleaning equipment's cleaning capabilities. This increases the user's workload and reduces the overall user experience.

[0004] Meanwhile, existing cleaning equipment needs to spend some time cleaning its components after returning to the base station, which reduces the overall cleaning efficiency of the equipment.

[0005] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the background section above is only used to enhance the understanding of the background of this disclosure, and therefore may include information that does not constitute prior art known to those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0133] Exemplary embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, these exemplary embodiments can be implemented in many forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein; rather, they are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the concept of the exemplary embodiments to those skilled in the art. The same reference numerals in the drawings denote the same or similar structures, and therefore their detailed description will be omitted.

[0134] Although relative terms such as "up" and "down" are used in this specification to describe the relative relationship of one component of an icon to another, these terms are used only for convenience, such as according to the orientation of the examples shown in the accompanying drawings. It is understood that if the device of the icon is flipped upside down, the component described as "up" will become the component described as "down." When a structure is "up" of another structure, it may mean that the structure is integrally formed on the other structure, or that the structure is "directly" mounted on the other structure, or that the structure is "indirectly" mounted on the other structure through another structure.

[0135] The terms “a,” “one,” “the,” and “the” are used to indicate the existence of one or more elements / components / etc.; the terms “including” and “having” are used to indicate an open-ended inclusion meaning and that there may be other elements / components / etc. in addition to the listed elements / components / etc.; the terms “first” and “second” are used only as markers and are not a limitation on the number of objects.

[0136] like Figures 1 to 17 As shown, some embodiments provide a cleaning system, which may include cleaning equipment and a base station. The cleaning equipment may be a robotic vacuum cleaner, a floor scrubber, a vacuum and mop combo, etc., and this disclosure does not impose specific limitations thereon.

[0137] The cleaning equipment may include a main unit and a cleaning component 01. The cleaning component 01 may be installed on the main unit to clean the surface to be cleaned. The cleaning component 01 may be a wiping cloth component, but is not limited to this. The cleaning component 01 may also be a roller brush component, a side brush component, etc., which can be selected and set according to the actual situation, all of which are within the protection scope of this disclosure.

[0138] The cleaning equipment can enter the base station, and the base station can replace the cleaning component 01 for the cleaning equipment. For example... Figure 1 As shown, specifically, the base station may include a station body 1, which may have a disassembly and assembly area 1a for the cleaning component 01. That is, the cleaning component 01 on the cleaning equipment can be disassembled in the disassembly and assembly area 1a, or the cleaning component 01 can be installed on the cleaning equipment in the disassembly and assembly area 1a.

[0139] The base station 1 may include a base 11 and a mounting housing 12. The base 11 can be connected to the mounting housing 12 and together with the mounting housing 12 form a receiving space. The disassembly / assembly area 1a can be located within the receiving space. The mounting housing 12 may have an access opening 12a to expose the receiving space. Cleaning equipment can enter the receiving space through the access opening 12a, and the base 11 can be used to support the cleaning equipment. The base station can replace the cleaning component 01 for the cleaning equipment located within the receiving space.

[0140] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the base station may further include a storage structure 2 and a transfer structure 3. The storage structure 2 and the transfer structure 3 may be installed on the base station body 1. The storage structure 2 may have a storage space for storing the cleaning component 01. The transfer structure 3 may be configured to extend into and out of the storage space for retrieving and placing the cleaning component 01, and to transfer the cleaning component 01 between the disassembly / removal area 1a and the storage space.

[0141] For example: the transfer structure 3 can extend into the storage space and retrieve the cleaning component 01. After retrieving the cleaning component 01, the transfer structure 3 can extend out of the storage space along with the cleaning component 01 and transfer the cleaning component 01 to the disassembly / assembly area 1a, thus completing the transfer of the cleaning component 01 from the storage space to the disassembly / assembly area 1a. The transfer structure 3 can retrieve the cleaning component 01 from the disassembly / assembly area 1a, extend it into the storage space along with the cleaning component 01, and place the cleaning component 01 in the storage space. After placing the cleaning component 01 in the storage space, the transfer structure 3 can extend out of the storage space to complete the transfer of the cleaning component 01 from the disassembly / assembly area 1a to the storage space.

[0142] With this configuration, the storage structure 2 can store spare cleaning components 01. When the cleaning effect of the cleaning component 01 installed on the cleaning equipment deteriorates, the transfer structure 3 can be used to replace the spare cleaning component 01 with the cleaning equipment to restore the cleaning ability of the cleaning equipment. This eliminates the need for users to manually replace the cleaning component 01, reduces the user's workload, and improves the user experience.

[0143] Furthermore, once the cleaning equipment returns to the base station after cleaning a certain area, there is no need to spend time cleaning the cleaning component 01 on the equipment. The base station can directly and quickly replace the cleaning component 01 with a clean one, allowing the cleaning equipment to continue cleaning with a clean component 01. This saves the cleaning equipment's non-cleaning time and improves its cleaning efficiency.

[0144] Meanwhile, the storage space can store cleaning components 01 that can clean different surfaces to be cleaned. When the cleaning equipment needs to clean different surfaces, the base station can replace the corresponding cleaning component 01 so that the cleaning equipment can clean the surface to be cleaned better.

[0145] For example, different surfaces to be cleaned can be tile surfaces, wooden surfaces, and carpets, etc. The storage space can store cleaning components 01 capable of cleaning tile and wooden surfaces respectively. When the cleaning equipment needs to clean a tile surface, the base station can replace it with a cleaning component 01 specifically for tile surfaces, enabling the cleaning equipment to clean the tile surface more effectively. Similarly, when the cleaning equipment needs to clean a wooden surface, the base station can replace it with a cleaning component 01 specifically for wooden surfaces, enabling the cleaning equipment to clean the wooden surface more effectively.

[0146] For example, different surfaces to be cleaned could be bedroom floors, bathroom floors, kitchen floors, etc. The storage space can store cleaning components 01 capable of cleaning bedroom floors, bathroom floors, and kitchen floors respectively. When the cleaning device needs to clean the bedroom floor, the base station can replace it with the cleaning component 01 for bedroom floors, enabling the cleaning device to clean the bedroom floor effectively. When the cleaning device needs to clean the bathroom floor, the base station can replace it with the cleaning component 01 for bathroom floors, enabling the cleaning device to clean the bathroom floor effectively. When the cleaning device needs to clean the kitchen floor, the base station can replace it with the cleaning component 01 for kitchen floors, enabling the cleaning device to clean the kitchen floor effectively.

[0147] Since bedroom floors tend to have dry stains, bathroom floors have damp stains, and kitchen floors have grease, the above-mentioned setup can prevent cross-contamination during the cleaning process of these floors, thereby improving the cleaning effectiveness of the cleaning equipment and system.

[0148] The storage space can store cleaning components 01 to meet different cleaning needs. When the cleaning needs change during the cleaning process, the base station can replace the cleaning component 01 with the one corresponding to that need, so that the cleaning equipment can perform the cleaning operation accordingly. For example, different cleaning needs can include wet cleaning and dry cleaning. The storage space can store both wet and dry cleaning components 01. When the cleaning equipment needs to wet the surface to be cleaned first, the base station can replace it with the wet cleaning component 01. When the cleaning equipment needs to dry the surface after wet cleaning, the base station can replace it with the dry cleaning component 01 to dry the surface.

[0149] Furthermore, the base station provided in this disclosure, by setting a transfer structure 3 and configuring the transfer structure 3 to extend into and out of the storage space, can conveniently and quickly retrieve the required cleaning component 01 from the storage space or place the cleaning component 01 in the storage space, and can conveniently and quickly transfer the cleaning component 01 to the disassembly and assembly area 1a or from the disassembly and assembly area 1a to the receiving space, thereby improving the speed and efficiency of the base station in replacing the cleaning component 01 for the cleaning equipment, and further improving the cleaning efficiency of the cleaning equipment.

[0150] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 4As shown, the storage structure 2 also has a first opening 2a and a second opening 2b. The first opening 2a and the second opening 2b can be located on different sides of the storage space. For example, the cleaning component 01 can be placed into the storage space through the first opening 2a, and the transfer structure 3 can extend into the storage space through the second opening 2b and extend out of the storage space through the second opening 2b to transfer the cleaning component 01 between the storage space and the disassembly / removal area 1a. Specifically, the user can place the required cleaning component 01 into the storage space through the first opening 2a, thereby separating the opening for the user to place the cleaning component 01 from the opening for the transfer structure 3 to transfer the cleaning component 01, avoiding positional interference with the transfer structure 3 when the user places the cleaning component 01, thus facilitating the user to place the cleaning component 01.

[0151] The first opening 2a and the second opening 2b can be arranged opposite to each other so that the first opening 2a and the second opening 2b are located on opposite sides of the storage space, which can further avoid positional interference with the transfer structure 3 when the user places the cleaning component 01, thereby making it easier for the user to place the cleaning component 01.

[0152] The second opening 2b can face the transfer structure 3. This arrangement facilitates the transfer structure 3 to extend into the storage space through the second opening 2b and to extend out of the storage space through the second opening 2b, so as to facilitate the transfer of the cleaning component 01 between the storage space and the disassembly / removal area 1a.

[0153] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the storage structure 2 may include a main body 21 and a support tray 22. The aforementioned storage space, the first opening 2a, and the second opening 2b may be located in the main body 21. The support tray 22 may be disposed in the storage space, and the cleaning component 01 may be confined within the support tray 22 to prevent the cleaning component 01 from falling off the support tray 22, and to ensure accurate placement of the cleaning component 01, facilitating precise retrieval of the cleaning component 01 by the transfer component. The support tray 22 may be configured to extend from the first opening 2a. It should be noted that "the support mechanism extends from the first opening 2a" may mean that the entire support mechanism extends from both the first opening 2a and the second opening 2b, or it may mean that a portion of the support mechanism extends from the first opening 2a, or it may mean that some components of the support mechanism extend from the first opening 2a.

[0154] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the pallet 22 and the main body 21 can be slidably connected so that the pallet 22 can slide out from the first opening 2a, which improves the stability and smoothness of the movement of the pallet 22.

[0155] The inner wall of the main body 21 may be provided with a first supporting rib 213, which can be configured to support the tray 22. This configuration allows the first supporting rib 213 to support the tray 22, preventing it from falling off. Simultaneously, the first supporting rib 213 can also serve as a guide rail to guide the tray 22 as it extends from or enters the receiving space through the first opening 2a, ensuring the accuracy and stability of the tray 22's movement direction and enabling it to precisely extend from or enter the receiving space through the first opening 2a.

[0156] The inner wall of the main body 21 may also be provided with a third limiting part 212, and the tray 22 may have a fourth limiting part 221. The third limiting part 212 and the fourth limiting part 221 can cooperate to limit the movement of the tray 22 in the height direction U of the base station. By setting the third limiting part 212 and the fourth limiting part 221, the tray 22 can be guided to move only in the direction of extending out of the first opening 2a or entering the receiving space through the first opening 2a, thereby further ensuring the accuracy of the movement direction and the stability of the movement of the tray 22.

[0157] One of the third limiting part 212 and the fourth limiting part 221 may include a limiting rib, and the other may include a limiting block. That is, the third limiting part 212 may include a limiting rib, and the fourth limiting part 221 may include a limiting block; or, the third limiting part 212 may include a limiting block, and the fourth limiting part 221 may include a limiting rib. There may be two limiting ribs, which may be spaced apart in the height direction U of the base station. The limiting block may be located between the two limiting ribs, thereby preventing the support tray 22 from moving in the height direction U of the base station. However, this is not limited to this; the third limiting part 212 and the fourth limiting part 221 may be other limiting structures. For example, one of the third limiting part 212 and the fourth limiting part 221 may be a limiting groove, and the other may be a limiting platform. The limiting platform may be located within the limiting groove, so that the third limiting part 212 and the fourth limiting part 221 are locked in a limiting engagement.

[0158] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the inner wall of the main body 21 may be provided with a first stop 211. The first stop 211 may be configured to prevent the support tray 22 from extending out of the second opening 2b, so as to prevent the transfer structure 3 from accidentally pulling the support tray 22 out of the second opening 2b when transferring the cleaning component 01, thereby preventing the support tray 22 from interfering with the transfer operation of the cleaning component 01. The first stop 211 may be a stop rib, but is not limited to this. The first stop 211 may also be other stop structures, which can be selected and set according to the actual situation.

[0159] The tray 22 may be provided with a fifth limiting part, and the cleaning component 01 may be provided with a sixth limiting part. The fifth and sixth limiting parts can be matched to limit the cleaning component 01 within the tray 22. The fifth limiting part may be provided on the surface of the tray 22, and the sixth limiting part may be provided on the bottom surface of the cleaning component 01. This arrangement facilitates the matching of the fifth and sixth limiting parts.

[0160] One of the fifth and sixth limiting portions may include a limiting post, and the other may include a limiting groove, with at least a portion of the limiting post capable of being confined within the limiting groove. That is, the fifth limiting portion may include a limiting post, and the sixth limiting portion may include a limiting groove. Alternatively, the fifth limiting portion may include a limiting groove, and the sixth limiting portion may include a limiting post. Through the limiting engagement of the limiting post and the limiting groove, the tray 22 can more firmly limit the cleaning component 01, further reducing the risk of the cleaning component 01 falling off. However, this is not limited to this; the fifth and sixth limiting portions may be other limiting structures, such as a limiting buckle and a limiting boss, whereby the limiting buckle can engage with the limiting boss to achieve the limiting engagement of the fifth and sixth limiting portions.

[0161] In one embodiment of this disclosure, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the storage structure 2 may include multiple storage sub-spaces, which can be distributed along the fourth direction W, and each storage sub-space can hold a cleaning component 01. This configuration increases the number of cleaning components 01 that the storage structure 2 can accommodate, allowing the cleaning equipment to replace more types of cleaning components 01. The fourth direction W can be the direction in which the pick-and-place mechanism 30 moves towards or away from the disassembly / removal area 1a. In some embodiments, the fourth direction W can be the height direction U of the base station.

[0162] The storage structure 2 may include multiple trays 22. These trays 22 may be spaced apart along the fourth direction W, and each tray 22 may be located within a different storage sub-space. This arrangement increases the storage capacity of the storage structure 2 for cleaning components 01. Furthermore, this arrangement allows different cleaning components 01 to be placed in different trays 22, facilitating the categorization of different cleaning components 01. This allows the transfer structure 3 to reach into different storage sub-spaces and accurately retrieve the required cleaning component 01.

[0163] When the storage structure 2 is provided with multiple support trays 22, the inner wall of the main body 21 can be provided with multiple first support ribs 213. The multiple support trays 22 and the multiple first support ribs 213 can correspond to each other, and each support tray 22 can be located on its corresponding first support rib 213.

[0164] Furthermore, the inner wall of the main body 21 may be provided with a plurality of third limiting parts 212, which may correspond to the fourth limiting parts 221 on the plurality of trays 22, and each third limiting part 212 may be limited and cooperated with its corresponding fourth limiting part 221.

[0165] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figures 5 to 16 As shown, the transfer structure 3 may include a pick-and-place mechanism 30 and a drive mechanism 31. The pick-and-place mechanism 30 can be used to pick up and place the cleaning component 01, and the drive mechanism 31 can be configured to drive the pick-and-place mechanism 30 to extend into or out of the storage space.

[0166] like Figures 5 to 8 As shown, the drive mechanism 31 may include a first transmission member 311 and a first drive member 312. The first transmission member 311 may be connected to the pick-and-place mechanism 30. The first drive member 312 may be connected to the first transmission member 311. The first transmission member 311, driven by the first drive member 312, can drive the pick-and-place mechanism 30 to extend into the storage space or drive the pick-and-place mechanism 30 to extend out of the storage space.

[0167] The first transmission member 311 may have a first transmission surface extending along a first direction X. The drive mechanism 31 may further include a second transmission member 313. The second transmission member 313 may be connected to the first drive member 312, and at least a portion of the outer peripheral surface of the second transmission member 313 may be a second transmission surface, which may at least contact the first transmission surface.

[0168] The first driving member 312 can drive the second transmission member 313 to rotate, so that the second transmission member 313 drives the first transmission member 311 to move along the first direction X or in the opposite direction. The first direction X is the direction in which the pick-and-place mechanism 30 extends into the storage space. That is: when the first driving member 312 drives the second transmission member 313 to rotate in one direction, the second transmission member 313 can drive the first transmission member 311 to move along the first direction X, thereby the first transmission member 311 can drive the pick-and-place mechanism 30 to move along the first direction X, causing the pick-and-place mechanism 30 to extend into the storage space; when the first driving member 312 drives the second transmission member 313 to rotate in the opposite direction, the second transmission member 313 can drive the first transmission member 311 to move in the opposite direction, thereby the first transmission member 311 can drive the pick-and-place mechanism 30 to move in the opposite direction, causing the pick-and-place mechanism 30 to extend out of the storage space.

[0169] The first transmission surface may have a first toothed portion, which may include a plurality of first sawtooths arranged along a first direction X. The second transmission surface may have a second toothed portion, which may include a plurality of second sawtooths arranged circumferentially along the second transmission member 313, and the second sawtooths may mesh with the first sawtooths. This configuration allows the driving force applied by the second transmission member 313 to the first transmission member 311 to be transmitted through the first and second sawtooths, while also ensuring high force transmission efficiency and stability between the second transmission member 313 and the first transmission member 311, resulting in smoother movement of the first transmission member 311, and consequently, smoother movement of the pick-and-place mechanism 30.

[0170] However, it is not limited to this. The first transmission surface and the second transmission surface may not be provided with teeth. For example, the first transmission surface may be the first friction surface, the second transmission surface may be the second friction surface, and the second transmission component 313 may transmit the driving force to the first transmission component 311 through the first friction surface and the second friction surface. The selection and setting can be made according to the actual situation, and all of these are within the protection scope of this disclosure.

[0171] In some embodiments, such as Figure 8 As shown, the pick-and-place mechanism 30 may include a support portion 301 and a pick-and-place portion 302. A first transmission member 311 may be disposed on the support portion 301 to provide a stable mounting position for the first transmission member 311. The pick-and-place portion 302 may be disposed on the side of the support portion 301 near the disassembly / assembly area 1a, that is, the pick-and-place portion 302 may be disposed on the side of the support portion 301 facing the cleaning component 01, so that the pick-and-place portion 302 can pick up and place the cleaning component 01.

[0172] Furthermore, the first transmission member 311 can be disposed on the side of the support portion 301 opposite to the disassembly / removal area 1a, that is, the first transmission member 311 can be disposed on the side of the support portion 301 opposite to the cleaning component 01. This arrangement can prevent the first transmission member 311 from interfering with the operation of the pick-and-place portion 302 in picking up and placing the cleaning component 01.

[0173] The side of the support portion 301 facing away from the disassembly / removal area 1a may have a first groove 301a extending along the first direction X. The first transmission member 311 can be installed within the first groove 301a to reduce the thickness of the transfer structure 3. Furthermore, the first groove 301a can be configured to avoid the second transmission member 313 when the pick-and-place mechanism 30 moves along the first direction X or in a direction opposite to the first direction X. It is understood that when the pick-and-place mechanism 30 moves along the first direction X or in a direction opposite to the first direction X, the second transmission member 313 can pass through the first groove 301a. This arrangement facilitates contact between the second transmission member 313 and the first transmission member 311 located within the first groove 301a.

[0174] However, this is not the only possibility; the first transmission member 311 may also be disposed on the side of the support portion 301 in the second direction Y. The second direction Y has a non-zero angle with the first direction X, and the second direction Y is perpendicular to the height direction U of the base station.

[0175] In some embodiments, such as Figures 6 to 8 As shown, the drive mechanism 31 may further include a body portion 314, in which the first drive member 312 may be disposed and connected to the body portion 314. However, it is not limited to this; other components in the drive mechanism 31 may also be disposed within the body portion 314, so that the body portion 314 provides mounting and setting positions for each component.

[0176] The transfer structure 3 further includes a first support and limiting member 32. The first support and limiting member 32 may include a first limiting part 321 and a second limiting part 322. The first limiting part 321 may be disposed on the pick-and-place mechanism 30, and the second limiting part 322 may be disposed on the main body 314. The first limiting part 321 and the second limiting part 322 can engage in a limiting cooperation, and the first limiting part 321 can move relative to the second limiting part 322 along a first direction X or in a direction opposite to the first direction X. With this configuration, the first support and limiting member 32 can support the pick-and-place mechanism 30 and limit its movement, ensuring the accuracy of the pick-and-place mechanism 30's movement.

[0177] One of the first limiting portion 321 and the second limiting portion 322 may include a first limiting slide rail, and the other may include a first limiting slider. That is, the first limiting portion 321 may include the first limiting slide rail, and the second limiting portion 322 may include the first limiting slider; or, the first limiting portion 321 may include the first limiting slider, and the second limiting portion 322 may include the second limiting slide rail. The first limiting slider may be limitedly connected within the first limiting slide rail.

[0178] However, this is not the only possibility. The first limiting part 321 and the second limiting part 322 may not be the first limiting slide rail and the first limiting block; they may also be the limiting groove and the limiting protrusion, etc. That is, the first supporting limiting member 32 may not be a separate structural member; it may also be a structure on the pick-and-place mechanism 30 and the main body 314. For example, a limiting groove may be formed on the pick-and-place mechanism 30, and a limiting protrusion may be formed on the main body 314; or, a limiting protrusion may be formed on the pick-and-place mechanism 30, and a limiting groove may be formed on the main body 314, with the limiting protrusion located within the limiting groove.

[0179] In other embodiments, such as Figures 5 to 8As shown, the first support limiting member 32 may further include a limiting member 323. The limiting member 323 may be located between the first limiting portion 321 and the second limiting portion 322, and both the first limiting portion 321 and the second limiting portion 322 may engage with the limiting member 323 for limiting. The limiting member 323 may move relative to the second limiting portion 322 in a first direction X or in a direction opposite to the first direction X, and the first limiting portion 321 may move relative to the limiting member 323 in a first direction X or in a direction opposite to the first direction X. With this configuration, by providing the limiting member 323, the distance the first limiting portion 321 can move in the first direction X or in a direction opposite to the first direction X can be increased, thereby increasing the distance the pick-and-place mechanism 30 can move in the first direction X or in a direction opposite to the first direction X.

[0180] The first limiting part 321 may include a second limiting slide rail, the second limiting part 322 may include a third limiting slide rail, and the limiting member 323 may include a second limiting slider, which may be limited and installed within the second and third limiting slide rails. Alternatively, the first limiting part 321 may include a third limiting slider, the second limiting part 322 may include a fourth limiting slider, and the limiting member 323 may include a fourth and a fifth limiting slide rail, with the third limiting slider limited and installed within the fourth limiting slide rail and the fourth limiting slider limited and installed within the fifth limiting slide rail.

[0181] However, it is not limited to this. The first limiting part 321, the second limiting part 322 and the limiting member 323 may not be limiting slide rails and limiting blocks. They may also be limiting grooves and limiting protrusions, etc., and can be selected and set according to the actual situation. All of these are within the protection scope of this disclosure.

[0182] like Figures 5 to 8 As shown, the aforementioned transfer structure 3 may include at least two first support limiting members 32, which may be arranged at intervals along the second direction Y, thereby improving its limiting and supporting capabilities for the pick-and-place mechanism 30 and further improving the smoothness and accuracy of the movement of the pick-and-place mechanism 30.

[0183] For example, the transfer structure 3 may include two first support limiting members 32, which may be located on both sides of the pick-and-place mechanism 30 in the second direction Y. This arrangement can prevent the first support limiting members 32 from interfering with the operation of the pick-and-place section 302 in picking up and placing the cleaning component 01, and can also prevent the first support limiting members 32 from interfering with the operation of the first transmission member 311 and the second transmission member 313.

[0184] It should be noted that this disclosure does not impose a specific limit on the number of the first support limiting member 32. For example, the number of the first support limiting member 32 can be one, two, three, four, five, etc., and can be selected and set according to actual needs.

[0185] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the transfer structure 3 may further include a second support and limiting member 33. The second support and limiting member 33 may include a first connecting member 331, the first end of which is rotatably connected to the pick-and-place mechanism 30, and the second end of which is rotatably connected to the main body 314. The first connecting member 331 may be configured to rotate relative to the pick-and-place mechanism 30 and the main body 314 when the pick-and-place mechanism 30 extends into or out of the storage space. In this embodiment, by providing the second support and limiting member 33, the pick-and-place mechanism 30 can be further supported, further improving the stability of the movement of the pick-and-place mechanism 30.

[0186] The first end of the first connector 331 can be connected to the side of the pick-and-place mechanism 30 away from the storage space, and the second end of the first connector 331 can be rotatably connected to the side of the main body 314 near the disassembly / assembly area 1a. This arrangement avoids interference from the first connector 331 with the operation of the pick-and-place unit 302 in picking up and placing the cleaning component 01, and also avoids positional interference from the first support limiting member 32 with the operation of the first transmission member 311 and the second transmission member 313.

[0187] The second support limiting member 33 may further include a first reinforcing member 332. The first reinforcing member 332 is rotatably connected to the side of the pick-and-place mechanism 30 away from the storage space, and the first end of the first connecting member 331 is rotatably connected to the first reinforcing member 332. The first reinforcing member 332 may be configured to rotate relative to the pick-and-place mechanism 30 and the first connecting member 331 when the pick-and-place mechanism 30 extends into or out of the storage space. By allowing the first reinforcing member 332 to rotate relative to the pick-and-place mechanism 30 and the first connecting member 331, it can be ensured that the pick-and-place mechanism 30 can move in a straight line without affecting the direction of movement of the pick-and-place mechanism 30 due to the rotation of the first connecting member 331.

[0188] like Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the transfer structure 3 may further include a second detection component 38. The second detection component 38 can be configured to detect the position of the pick-and-place mechanism 30 to determine whether the pick-and-place mechanism 30 has reached a preset position. When the pick-and-place mechanism 30 moves to the preset position, the drive mechanism 31 can stop providing driving force to the pick-and-place mechanism 30. This setting can accurately detect and control the movement position of the pick-and-place mechanism 30, improve the accuracy of the movement of the pick-and-place mechanism 30, and ensure the accuracy of the pick-and-place mechanism 30 in positioning, so that it can accurately pick up and place the cleaning component 01.

[0189] The pick-and-place mechanism 30 may have a first preset position and a second preset position. The first preset position may be farther away from the storage structure 2 relative to the second preset position. For example, the first preset position may be the position where the pick-and-place mechanism 30 extends completely out of the storage space, and the second preset position may be the position where the pick-and-place mechanism 30 extends into the storage space and can accurately pick up and place the cleaning component 01.

[0190] The second detection component 38 may include a third position detector 381 and a fourth position detector 382. The third position detector 381 can be used to detect whether the pick-and-place mechanism 30 has reached a first preset position, and the fourth position detector 382 can be used to detect whether the pick-and-place mechanism 30 has reached a second preset position. This configuration, by using the third position detector 381 and the fourth position detector 382 to detect whether the pick-and-place mechanism 30 has reached the first and second preset positions respectively, can further improve the accuracy of detecting the movement position of the pick-and-place mechanism 30.

[0191] Furthermore, the third position detector 381 can be located at a first preset position, and the fourth position detector 382 can be located at a second preset position. This allows each position detector to be closer to the desired motion position, further improving the detection accuracy. The third position detector 381 and the fourth position detector 382 can be microswitches, but are not limited to this. They can also be light detectors, etc., and can be selected and set according to actual conditions, all of which are within the protection scope of this disclosure.

[0192] The third position detector 381 can be disposed on the bottom surface of the main body 314 and away from the storage structure 2. When the pick-and-place mechanism 30 collides with the third position detector 381, it can be considered that the pick-and-place mechanism 30 has reached the first preset position. The fourth position detector 382 can be disposed on the side of the pick-and-place mechanism 30 close to the storage structure 2. When the fourth position detector 382 collides with the tray 22, it can be considered that the pick-and-place mechanism 30 has reached the second preset position.

[0193] In some embodiments of this disclosure, such as Figure 3 , Figures 9 to 13As shown, the cleaning component 01 may further include a second connector 011, and the pick-and-place mechanism 30 may include a third connector 303. The second connector 011 and the third connector 303 can be connected to enable the pick-and-place mechanism 30 to pick up the cleaning component 01. The second connector 011 may include a first magnetic attraction part 0111, and the third connector 303 may include a second magnetic attraction part 3031. The second connector 011 and the third connector 303 can be magnetically connected through the first magnetic attraction part 0111 and the second magnetic attraction part 3031. This arrangement facilitates the connection and separation of the second connector 011 and the third connector 303. However, it is not limited to this; the second connector 011 and the third connector 303 may also have other connection structures.

[0194] Furthermore, such as Figure 7 and Figure 12 As shown, the pick-and-place mechanism 30 may further include a separator 304. The separator 304 may be configured to separate the second connector 011 and the third connector 303 so that the cleaning component 01 can be separated from the pick-and-place mechanism 30 via the separator 304, thereby allowing the cleaning component 01 to be placed in the desired position.

[0195] like Figure 9 and Figure 11 As shown, the pick-and-place mechanism 30 may further include a second driving member 305. The second driving member 305 may be connected to the third connecting member 303. When the second connecting member 011 separates from the third connecting member 303, the second driving member 305 can drive the third connecting member 303 to translate horizontally, so that the third connecting member 303 switches from a docking position to a separated position. The separating member 304 can stop the second connecting member 011 from following the movement of the third connecting member 303, so that the second connecting member 011 and the third connecting member 303 separate. Here, the horizontal direction can be a first direction X, a second direction Y, or any direction within the horizontal plane containing the first direction X and the second direction Y.

[0196] When the second connector 011 is connected to the third connector 303, the cleaning component 01 can be located on the side of the pick-and-place mechanism 30 near the disassembly / removal area 1a. A stop hole 306 can be provided on the side of the pick-and-place mechanism 30 near the disassembly / removal area 1a. The third connector 303 can be located on the side of the stop hole 306 away from the disassembly / removal area 1a. The second connector 011 can pass through the stop hole 306 and connect to the third connector 303. The sidewall of the stop hole 306 can be a separating member 304. That is, when the third connector 303 moves horizontally to switch from a mating position to a separating position, the sidewall of the stop hole 306 can prevent the second connector 011 from moving with the third connector 303, thus separating the second connector 011 and the third connector 303. This arrangement simplifies the structure of the separating member 304, thereby simplifying the connection and separation operations of the second connector 011 and the third connector 303.

[0197] like Figure 10 As shown, when the third connector 303 is in the mating position, the orthographic projection of the first magnetic attraction part 0111 in the height direction U of the base station and the orthographic projection of the stop through hole 306 in the height direction U can at least overlap. Therefore, when the third connector 303 is in the mating position, the stop through hole 306 can expose at least a portion of the second magnetic attraction part 3031, thereby enabling a magnetic connection between the first magnetic attraction part 0111 and the second magnetic attraction part 3031.

[0198] like Figure 12 As shown, when the third connector 303 is in the separated position, there is a gap between the orthographic projection of the first magnetic attraction part 0111 in the height direction U of the base station and the orthographic projection of the stop through hole 306 in the height direction U. Therefore, when the third connector 303 is in the separated position, the stop through hole 306 will not expose the second magnetic attraction part 3031, thereby preventing the first magnetic attraction part 0111 and the second magnetic attraction part 3031 from engaging.

[0199] In some embodiments, such as Figures 9 to 12 As shown, the third connecting member 303 may have a third transmission surface extending along a third direction Z. The pick-and-place mechanism 30 may further include a third transmission member 307. The third transmission member 307 may be connected to the second driving member 305, and at least a portion of the outer peripheral surface of the third transmission member 307 is a fourth transmission surface, which is in at least contact with the third transmission surface. The second driving member 305 can drive the third transmission member 307 to rotate, so that the third transmission member 307 drives the third connecting member 303 to move along a third direction Z. Wherein, the third direction Z is the translational direction of the third connecting member 303.

[0200] That is: when the second driving member 305 drives the third transmission member 307 to rotate in one direction, the third transmission member 307 can drive the third connecting member 303 to move in the third direction Z, so that the third connecting member 303 switches to the docking position; when the second driving member 305 drives the third transmission member 307 to rotate in the opposite direction, the third transmission member 307 can drive the third connecting member 303 to move in the opposite direction to the third direction Z, so that the third connecting member 303 switches to the separation position.

[0201] The third transmission surface may have a third toothed portion, which may include multiple third sawtooths arranged in the third direction Z. The fourth transmission surface may have a fourth toothed portion, which may include multiple fourth sawtooths arranged circumferentially along the third transmission member 307, and the fourth sawtooths may mesh with the third sawtooths. This configuration allows the driving force applied by the third transmission member 307 to the third connecting member 303 to be transmitted through the third and fourth sawtooths, while also ensuring high force transmission efficiency and stability between the third transmission member 307 and the third connecting member 303, resulting in smoother movement of the third connecting member 303.

[0202] However, it is not limited to this. The third transmission surface and the fourth transmission surface may not be provided with teeth. For example, the third transmission surface can be the third friction surface, and the fourth transmission surface can be the fourth friction surface. The third transmission component 307 can transmit the driving force to the third connecting component 303 through the third friction surface and the fourth friction surface, etc. It can be selected and set according to the actual situation. All of these are within the protection scope of this disclosure.

[0203] like Figure 9 and Figure 11 As shown, the third transmission surface can be located on the side of the third connector 303 facing away from the disassembly / assembly area 1a, and the third transmission component 307 can be located on the side of the third connector 303 facing away from the disassembly / assembly area 1a. A second groove 303a can be provided on the side of the third connector 303 facing away from the disassembly / assembly area 1a, and the third transmission surface can be the bottom surface of the second groove 303a. With this arrangement, at least a portion of the third connector 303 can be accommodated using the second groove 303a, thereby reducing the thickness of the pick-and-place mechanism 30.

[0204] In some embodiments, such as Figure 9 and Figure 11As shown, the pick-and-place mechanism 30 may further include a first detection component 308, which can be configured to detect the position of the third connector 303 to determine whether the third connector 303 has reached the docking or separation position. When the third connector 303 moves to the docking or separation position, the second drive component 305 can pause providing driving force to the third connector 303. This configuration allows for accurate detection and control of the movement position of the third connector 303, improving the precision of its movement and ensuring accurate positioning so that it can accurately dock with the cleaning component 01.

[0205] The pick-and-place mechanism 30 may have a first preset position and a second preset position. The first preset position may be farther away from the storage structure 2 relative to the second preset position. For example, the first preset position may be the position where the pick-and-place mechanism 30 extends completely out of the storage space, and the second preset position may be the position where the pick-and-place mechanism 30 extends into the storage space and can accurately pick up and place the cleaning component 01.

[0206] The first detection component 308 may include a first position detector 3081 and a second position detector 3082. The first position detector 3081 can be used to detect whether the third connector 303 has reached the docking position, and the second position detector 3082 can be used to detect whether the third connector 303 has reached the separation position. This configuration, by using the first position detector 3081 and the second position detector 3082 to detect whether the third connector 303 has reached the docking position and the separation position respectively, can further improve the accuracy of detecting the movement position of the third connector 303.

[0207] The pick-and-place mechanism 30 may further include a test piece 309. The test piece 309 may be connected to the third connector 303, and the first detection component 308 is configured to determine whether the third connector 303 has reached the docking position and the separation position by detecting the position of the test piece 309.

[0208] Furthermore, the first position detector 3081 can be located at the position of the component 309 to be tested corresponding to the docking position, and the second position detector 3082 can be located at the position of the component 309 to be tested corresponding to the separation position. This allows each position detector to be closer to the movement position it needs to detect, thereby further improving the accuracy of its detection. The first position detector 3081 and the second position detector 3082 can be infrared optocouplers, but are not limited to this. The first position detector 3081 and the second position detector 3082 can also be microswitches, etc., and can be selected and set according to the actual situation, all of which are within the protection scope of this disclosure.

[0209] In some embodiments, such as Figure 9As shown, the pick-and-place mechanism 30 may also include a cleaning component detector 310, which can be used to detect whether there is a cleaning component 01 below the pick-and-place mechanism 30, and can be used to detect whether the third connector 303 and the cleaning component 01 are successfully docked or separated.

[0210] The cleaning component detector 310 can be a Hall element, which can detect Gaussian values ​​to determine whether there is a cleaning component 01 below the pick-and-place mechanism 30. Furthermore, the Hall element can be used to detect the magnitude of the Gaussian value to determine whether the third connector 303 has successfully docked or separated from the cleaning component 01. However, it is not limited to this; the cleaning component detector 310 may not be a Hall element, and could also be a detector such as a camera.

[0211] In some embodiments of this disclosure, such as Figures 5 to 7 , Figures 14 to 16 As shown, the transfer structure 3 may also include a lifting mechanism 34. The lifting mechanism 34 can drive the pick-and-place mechanism 30 to move toward or away from the disassembly / assembly area 1a, that is, the pick-and-place mechanism 30 is used to transfer the cleaning component 01 in the height direction U of the base station.

[0212] like Figure 5 As shown, the lifting mechanism 34 may include a lifting drive assembly 341 and a lifting guide rail 342. The lifting guide rail 342 may extend along the fourth direction W, and the lifting drive assembly 341 may drive the pick-and-place mechanism 30 to move along the lifting guide rail 342, thereby ensuring the accuracy and stability of the pick-and-place mechanism 30 in the fourth direction W.

[0213] The third drive component can also drive the mechanism 31 to move along the lifting guide rail 342. This arrangement allows the pick-and-place mechanism 30 and the drive mechanism 31 to move simultaneously, so as to pick up different cleaning components 01 located on different layer trays 22, or to facilitate the placement of cleaning components 01 removed from the cleaning equipment onto different layer trays 22.

[0214] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the lifting drive assembly 341 may include a third drive member 3411 and a climbing assembly 3412. The third drive member 3411 may be a drive motor, but is not limited thereto. The climbing assembly 3412 may be connected to the third drive member 3411 and the body 314 of the drive mechanism 31. The third drive member 3411 may be used to drive the climbing assembly 3412 to move along the lifting guide rail 342, thereby driving the pick-and-place mechanism 30 and the drive mechanism 31 to move along the lifting guide rail 342 via the climbing assembly 3412.

[0215] Furthermore, such as Figure 6 , Figure 14 and Figure 15As shown, the lifting guide rail 342 may have a fifth tooth on the side near the climbing assembly 3412. The climbing assembly 3412 may include a climbing gear 34121, the outer circumferential surface of which may have a sixth tooth, and the fifth and sixth teeth can mesh. The third driving member 3411 can drive the climbing gear 34121 to rotate, so that the climbing assembly 3412 moves along the lifting guide rail 342.

[0216] Therefore, by setting the fifth and sixth teeth, the climbing component 3412 can remain stable and improve climbing efficiency during its movement along the lifting guide rail 342, avoiding slippage and other problems during climbing. Simultaneously, the climbing component 3412 can maintain its position using the meshing between the fifth and sixth teeth, preventing it from slipping. This ensures that the pick-and-place mechanism 30 and the drive mechanism 31 remain in their positions during operation without displacement, thus guaranteeing their normal operation.

[0217] In some embodiments, the climbing assembly 3412 may further include a protective housing 34122. At least a portion of the climbing gear 34121 may be disposed within the protective housing 34122 and may rotate relative to the protective housing 34122 to protect the climbing gear 34121 through the protective housing 34122.

[0218] A third groove 342a may be provided on the side of the lifting guide rail 342 near the climbing component 3412, and the third groove 342a may extend in the fourth direction W. A first guide structure 34123 may be provided on the side of the climbing component 3412 near the third groove 342a, and the first guide structure 34123 may contact the side wall of the third groove 342a and slide along the side wall of the third groove 342a in the fourth direction W, thereby improving the movement stability and smoothness of the climbing component 3412.

[0219] like Figure 6 and Figure 15 As shown, the first guide structure 34123 can be a guide wheel, which can be rotatably connected to the side of the climbing component 3412 near the third groove 342a, and the outer peripheral surface of the guide wheel can contact the side wall of the third groove 342a. However, it is not limited to this; the first guide structure 34123 can also be a slider or the like, which can be selected and set according to the actual situation, and all of this is within the protection scope of this disclosure.

[0220] Furthermore, a second guide structure 34124 is provided on the side of the climbing component 3412 near the third groove 342a. The second guide structure 34124 can contact the bottom wall of the third groove 342a and slide along the bottom wall of the third groove 342a in the fourth direction W. This arrangement allows the second guide structure 34124 to cooperate with the first guide structure 34123, improving its guiding ability for the movement of the climbing component 3412, and further improving the movement stability and smoothness of the climbing component 3412. The second guide structure 34124 can be a guide ball, but is not limited to this; it can also be a guide wheel or a slider, etc.

[0221] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the lifting mechanism 34 may further include a height detector 37. The height detector 37 can be connected to the third drive member 3411. The height detector 37 can be used to detect the climbing position of the climbing component 3412, and when the climbing component 3412 moves to a preset position, the third drive member 3411 can stop providing driving force to the climbing component 3412. With this configuration, the movement position of the climbing component 3412 can be accurately detected and controlled, improving the accuracy of the movement of the climbing component 3412.

[0222] The climbing component 3412 may have a first preset climbing position and a second preset climbing position. The first preset climbing position is farther away from the base station base 11 relative to the second preset climbing position. The lifting mechanism 34 may include a first height detector 371 and a second height detector 372. The first height detector 371 can be used to detect whether the climbing component 3412 has reached the first preset climbing position, and the second height detector 372 can be used to detect whether the climbing component 3412 has reached the second preset climbing position. With this configuration, by using the first height detector 371 and the second height detector 372 to detect whether the climbing component 3412 has reached the first preset climbing position and the second preset climbing position respectively, the accuracy of detecting the movement position of the climbing component 3412 can be further improved.

[0223] Furthermore, the first height detector 371 can be located on top of the third drive member 3411, and the second height detector 372 can be located at the bottom of the third drive member 3411, thereby improving the accuracy of detection. The first height detector 371 and the second height detector 372 can be microswitches, but are not limited to them. The first height position detector and the second height detector 372 can also be light detectors, etc., and can be selected and set according to the actual situation, all of which are within the protection scope of this disclosure.

[0224] In some embodiments, such as Figure 14 and Figure 15As shown, one of the climbing component 3412 and the lifting rail 342 may include multiple positioning elements 35, and the other may include a positioning detector 36. That is, the climbing component 3412 may include multiple positioning elements 35, and the lifting rail 342 may include a positioning detector 36; or the lifting rail 342 may include multiple positioning elements 35, and the climbing component 3412 may include a positioning detector 36. The multiple positioning elements 35 may be spaced apart along the fourth direction W, and the multiple positioning elements 35 correspond one-to-one with multiple storage subspaces.

[0225] The positioning detector 36 can be used to detect the positioning element 35. When the positioning detector 36 detects the positioning element 35 corresponding to the storage subspace where the cleaning component 01 to be transferred is located, the third drive element 3411 stops providing driving force to the climbing component 3412. This setting can ensure the accuracy of the movement position of the climbing component 3412, and ensure that the pick-and-place mechanism 30 and the drive mechanism 31 can accurately reach the cleaning component 01 to be transferred.

[0226] Multiple positioning elements 35 can be mounted on the lifting guide rail 342, and a positioning detector 36 can be mounted on the climbing component 3412. The positioning detector 36 moves synchronously with the climbing component 3412. This arrangement facilitates the placement of multiple positioning elements 35 and prevents the climbing component 3412 from becoming too large in the fourth direction W due to multiple positioning elements 35 mounted on it.

[0227] The positioning element 35 can be a light-shielding block, and the positioning detector 36 can be an infrared optocoupler. However, it is not limited to these. The positioning element 35 may not be a positioning block, but may be a positioning icon, etc. The positioning detector 36 may not be an infrared optocoupler, but may be a camera, etc. It can be selected and set according to the actual situation, and all of these are within the protection scope of this disclosure.

[0228] In some embodiments, such as Figure 16 As shown, the third driving component 3411 may include a motor 34111 and a worm gear transmission structure 34112, wherein the motor 34111 can drive the worm gear transmission structure 34112 to rotate. This configuration allows the worm gear transmission structure 34112 to provide a self-locking capability, ensuring that the third driving component 3411 and the climbing component 3412 remain in their positions even when the motor 34111 is not operating. This prevents the third driving component 3411 and the climbing component 3412 from falling when the motor 34111 is not working, thus improving the safety of the base station.

[0229] Furthermore, the third drive unit 3411 may also include an ODO (Odometer) component 34113 to automatically detect the operating position of the third drive unit 3411.

[0230] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 17 As shown, the base station may also include a cleaning device 13, which may be disposed in the disassembly / reassembly area 1a and configured to clean the cleaning component 01. When the disassembly / reassembly area 1a is located on the base 11, the cleaning device 13 may be located on the base 11 to provide a stable installation position for the cleaning device 13 and facilitate its cleaning of the cleaning component 01.

[0231] like Figures 1 to 16 As shown, the movement and operation of the transfer structure 3 in transferring the cleaning component 01 from the storage space to the disassembly / assembly area 1a can be as follows: The transfer structure 3 performs a self-check. After the self-check is completed, the lifting structure can drive the pick-and-place mechanism 30 and the drive mechanism 31 to descend to the tray 22 where the cleaning component 01 to be transferred is located. If, during the process of the lifting structure driving the pick-and-place mechanism 30 and the drive mechanism 31 to descend, the current of the third drive component 3411 exceeds the preset current, the lifting structure drives the pick-and-place mechanism 30 and the drive mechanism 31 to return to the initial position and triggers an alarm.

[0232] Once the pick-and-place mechanism 30 and the drive mechanism 31 descend to the tray 22 where the cleaning component 01 to be transferred is located, the drive mechanism 31 can be used to drive the pick-and-place mechanism 30 to extend into the storage space, and the cleaning component detector 310 can be used to detect whether there is a cleaning component 01 on the tray 22. When the cleaning component detector 310 detects that there is no cleaning component 01 on the tray 22, the drive mechanism 31 drives the pick-and-place mechanism 30 to extend out of the storage space, and the lifting structure is used to drive the pick-and-place mechanism 30 and the drive mechanism 31 back to their initial positions and trigger an alarm.

[0233] When the cleaning component detector 310 detects a cleaning component 01 on the tray 22, the second drive component 305 moves the third connector 303 to the docking position, connecting the cleaning component 01 to the third connector 303. The drive mechanism 31 drives the pick-and-place mechanism 30 to extend from the storage space, and the lifting mechanism 34 lowers the pick-and-place mechanism 30 and the drive mechanism 31 to the disassembly / assembly area 1a. During the process of the lifting mechanism 34 lowering the pick-and-place mechanism 30 and the drive mechanism 31 to the disassembly / assembly area 1a, if the current of the third drive component 3411 exceeds the preset current, the lifting mechanism will return the pick-and-place mechanism 30 and the drive mechanism 31 to their initial positions and trigger an alarm.

[0234] When the pick-and-place mechanism 30 reaches the disassembly / assembly area 1a, the second drive member 305 can be used to move the third connector 303 to the separation position, causing the cleaning component 01 to separate from the third connector 303. The cleaning component detector 310 can be used to detect whether the cleaning component 01 has been successfully separated from the third connector 303. After the cleaning component 01 has been successfully separated from the third connector 303, the movement and operation of the transfer structure 3 to transfer the cleaning component 01 from the storage space to the disassembly / assembly area 1a is completed.

[0235] In some embodiments of this disclosure, such as Figures 1 to 16 As shown, the transfer structure 3 can also be configured to transfer the cleaning component 01 that is replaced by the cleaning equipment from the disassembly and assembly area 1a to the storage space, thereby enabling the storage of the cleaning component 01.

[0236] It should be noted that the movement and operation of the cleaning component 01 replaced by the cleaning equipment by the transfer structure 3 from the disassembly and assembly area 1a to the storage space can be the opposite of the movement and operation of the cleaning component 01 from the storage space to the disassembly and assembly area 1a by the transfer structure 3.

[0237] Specifically, the transfer structure 3 can perform a self-test. After the self-test is completed, the lifting structure can drive the pick-and-place mechanism 30 and the drive mechanism 31 to descend to the disassembly / assembly area 1a. If, during the process of the lifting structure driving the pick-and-place mechanism 30 and the drive mechanism 31 to descend, the current of the third drive component 3411 exceeds the preset current, the lifting structure will drive the pick-and-place mechanism 30 and the drive mechanism 31 back to the initial position and trigger an alarm.

[0238] After the pick-and-place mechanism 30 and the drive mechanism 31 descend to the disassembly / assembly area 1a, the cleaning component detector 310 can be used to detect whether there is a cleaning component 01 in the disassembly / assembly area 1a. When the cleaning component detector 310 detects that there is no cleaning component 01 in the disassembly / assembly area 1a, the lifting structure is used to drive the pick-and-place mechanism 30 and the drive mechanism 31 back to their initial positions and an alarm is triggered.

[0239] When the cleaning component detector 310 detects a cleaning component 01 in the disassembly / removal area 1a, the second drive component 305 moves the third connector 303 to the docking position, connecting the cleaning component 01 to the third connector 303. The lifting mechanism 34 can then raise the pick-and-place mechanism 30 and the drive mechanism 31 to the location of the tray 22 where the cleaning component 01 is to be stored. During the process of the lifting mechanism 34 raising the pick-and-place mechanism 30 and the drive mechanism 31, if the current of the third drive component 3411 exceeds a preset current, the lifting mechanism will return the pick-and-place mechanism 30 and the drive mechanism 31 to their initial position and trigger an alarm.

[0240] Once the pick-and-place mechanism 30 reaches the location of the tray 22 where the cleaning component 01 is to be stored, the drive mechanism 31 can be used to drive the pick-and-place mechanism 30 to carry the cleaning component 01 into the storage space. The second drive member 305 moves the third connector 303 to the separation position, causing the cleaning component 01 to separate from the third connector 303. The cleaning component detector 310 can be used to detect whether the cleaning component 01 has been successfully separated from the third connector 303. After the cleaning component 01 has been successfully separated from the third connector 303, the drive mechanism 31 drives the pick-and-place mechanism 30 to exit from the storage space, thus completing the transfer structure 3's transfer of the cleaning component 01, which has been replaced by the cleaning equipment, from the disassembly / assembly area 1a to the storage space for movement and operation.
