Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; 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; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0038] The embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0039] Combination Figures 1 to 8 As shown, according to a first aspect of an embodiment of this application, a base station is provided, including a storage mechanism configured to move between a first position and a second position within the base station; the base station is provided with a disassembly / removal port 21, and the storage mechanism includes a first storage section 11 and a second storage section 12. When the storage mechanism is in the first position, the first storage section 11 is opposite to the disassembly / removal port 21 to receive used cleaning parts 91 entering through the disassembly / removal port 21; when the storage mechanism is in the second position, the second storage section 12 is opposite to the disassembly / removal port 21 to transport pre-stored cleaning parts 92 to be used to the disassembly / removal port 21.

[0040] By setting up a storage mechanism that can move between a first position and a second position within the base station, used cleaning parts 91 can be received and collected uniformly. The storage mechanism can also transport cleaning parts 92 awaiting use, facilitating their removal and installation from the base station. By setting up a first storage unit 11 and a second storage unit 12, used cleaning parts 91 and awaiting cleaning parts 92 can be stored separately, reducing contamination of the awaiting cleaning parts 92.

[0041] The base station includes a receiving cavity, within which the storage mechanism is housed. The space within the receiving cavity is sufficient to allow the storage mechanism to move within it. The first position and the second position are two locations within the receiving cavity, and the storage mechanism can move between these two positions.

[0042] Specifically, the first position and the second position are two positions in the movement path of the storage mechanism. They can be the two endpoints of the movement path or the two positions in the middle of the movement path.

[0043] In one embodiment, the first position and the second position are two endpoints in the movement path of the storage mechanism. For example... Figure 1 As shown, the storage mechanism is in the first position, with the first storage section 11 positioned opposite the disassembly / removal port 21. Figure 2 As shown, the storage mechanism is in the second position, and the second storage section 12 is positioned opposite to the disassembly port 21.

[0044] In one embodiment, the receiving cavity can be approximately a rectangular space, and the storage mechanism is a cuboid structure adapted to the receiving cavity. The length direction of the receiving cavity and the storage mechanism, the arrangement direction of the first storage part 11 and the second storage part 12, and the arrangement direction of the first position and the second position are in the same direction.

[0045] The disassembly / removal port 21 connects the external space with the receiving cavity inside the base station. Used cleaning parts 91 can pass through the disassembly / removal port 21 and fall into the first storage section 11 inside the receiving cavity. Unused cleaning parts 92 in the second storage section 12 can be removed from the base station through the disassembly / removal port 21.

[0046] The base station includes a first driving component 3 and a first guide component. The first guide component is disposed between a first position and a second position. The storage mechanism is disposed on the first guide component. The first driving component 3 is connected to the storage mechanism to drive the storage mechanism to move on the first guide component. The disassembly port 21 is disposed on the top of the base station. The height of the first guide component increases in the direction from the first position to the second position.

[0047] By setting a first driving member 3 and a first guide member that cooperate with each other, the storage mechanism can be driven to move stably between the first position and the second position, so that the used cleaning member 91 and the waiting cleaning member 92 can be opposite to the disassembly port 21.

[0048] The base station also includes a control device, such as a control motherboard. The first driving component 3 is connected to the control device, enabling the control device to control the operation and stop of the first driving component 3, thereby achieving automatic control. The base station can control the first driving component 3 to drive the storage mechanism according to a preset program, reducing manual operation and improving the user experience.

[0049] In one embodiment, the first driving member 3 is a drive motor, and the first guide member is a guide rail. The first guide member extends along the arrangement direction of the first position and the second position. The storage mechanism is slidably disposed on the first guide member, and the first driving member 3 can drive the storage mechanism to slide on the first guide member through transmission components such as belts and lead screws.

[0050] The disassembly / removal port 21 is horizontally positioned at the top of the base station, allowing used cleaning components 91 and unused cleaning components 92 to pass vertically through it. When the storage mechanism is in the first position, the first storage section 11 is located directly below the disassembly / removal port 21 to receive used cleaning components 91 that fall through it. When the storage mechanism is in the second position, the second storage section 12 is located directly below the disassembly / removal port 21 to transport pre-stored unused cleaning components 92 upwards to the disassembly / removal port 21.

[0051] Specifically, by setting the first guide member to increase in height along the direction from the first position to the second position, as the storage mechanism moves from the first position to the second position, the height of the storage mechanism gradually increases, causing the clean part 92 stored inside the storage mechanism to also gradually rise and get closer to the disassembly / assembly port 21. When the storage mechanism moves to the second position, the cleaning equipment at the disassembly / assembly port 21 comes into contact with the clean part 92, thereby enabling the clean part 92 to be assembled onto the cleaning equipment.

[0052] In one embodiment, the standby cleaning components 92 in the first storage section 11 are stacked vertically. When the storage mechanism moves to the second position, the standby cleaning component 92 at the top protrudes upward and is at or substantially level with the disassembly port 21, thereby facilitating the cleaning equipment to contact the standby cleaning component 92.

[0053] The first storage section 11 includes a first storage tank. When the storage mechanism is in the first position, the opening of the first storage tank is opposite to the disassembly port 21. A first retrieval port is provided on the side wall of the first storage tank, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the base station is provided with a second access port 22. When the storage mechanism is in the first position or the second position, the first access port and the second access port 22 are positioned opposite each other.

[0054] When the storage mechanism is in the first position, the opening of the first storage slot is opposite to the disassembly / removal port 21, allowing the used cleaning component 91 to enter the first storage slot, making the storage process simple and convenient. By setting a first retrieval port and a second retrieval port 22 and positioning them opposite each other, it is easy to retrieve the used cleaning component 91 from the first storage slot without operating the internal structure of the base station, making the retrieval process simple and convenient.

[0055] The storage mechanism can be an independent component, and it can be detachably installed inside the base station. When the storage mechanism is damaged, it can be replaced separately.

[0056] When the storage mechanism is in the first position, the opening of the first storage tank and the disassembly port 21 are vertically opposite each other, and the disassembly port 21 is located directly above the first storage tank, so the used cleaning part 91 can fall directly into the first storage tank.

[0057] The second storage unit 12 includes a second storage tank. When the storage mechanism is in the second position, the opening of the second storage tank is positioned opposite to the disassembly port 21. The second storage unit 12 is provided with a second driving member 4, which is capable of moving the cleaning component 92 to be cleaned towards the opening of the second storage tank or out of the opening of the second storage tank.

[0058] By setting the second driving component 4, when the storage mechanism is in the second position, the cleaning component 92 to be used can be moved toward the opening of the second storage tank or outside the opening of the second storage tank. This allows the cleaning component 92 to be aligned with or moved to the cleaning component installation position on the cleaning equipment, such as the bottom of the floor brush, so that the cleaning equipment can quickly grab or fix the cleaning component 92 to be used, thereby improving installation efficiency.

[0059] The second storage section 12 is provided with a second driving member 4, and the cleaning member 92 to be used is disposed on the second driving member 4 so that the second driving member 4 can press the cleaning member 92 to be used at the opening of the second storage tank.

[0060] By pressing the standby cleaning part 92 into the slot of the second storage tank by the second driving component 4, the problem of loosening and displacement when multiple cleaning parts are stacked can be reduced. For example, when the standby cleaning part 92 is replaced continuously, the second driving component 4 can automatically replenish the next standby cleaning part 92 to the slot position, reducing manual intervention and maintaining the supply of cleaning parts.

[0061] The first storage tank and the second storage tank are arranged sequentially and opposite to each other in the direction of movement of the storage mechanism.

[0062] The second driving member 4 can be disposed on the bottom of the second storage tank. The second driving member 4 is located below the cleaning member 92 to be used and applies a pushing force upward to the cleaning member 92 to be used, pushing the cleaning member 92 upward and pressing it into the opening of the second storage tank.

[0063] Specifically, in one embodiment, the second driving member 4 includes a support member 41 and an elastic member 42. The cleaning member 92 to be cleaned is disposed on the support member 41. The second driving member 4 is connected to the bottom of the second storage tank and the support member 41 respectively, so as to push the support member 41 to press the cleaning member 92 to be cleaned on the edge of the opening of the second storage tank.

[0064] Among them, the elastic element 42 can be a spring, one end of which is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the second storage tank, and the other end is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the support element 41.

[0065] There can be multiple elastic elements 42, which are distributed on the bottom surface of the support 41.

[0066] Specifically, for example, there are four elastic elements 42, the support element 41 is roughly a cuboid structure, and multiple elastic elements 42 are distributed at the four corners of the bottom surface of the support element 41.

[0067] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4As shown, the second storage tank includes a tank body 121 and a first cover 122. The first cover 122 is detachably or openably disposed on the top of the tank body 121, and the opening of the second storage tank is formed on the first cover 122.

[0068] By detachably covering the top of the tank 121 with the first cover 122, it is convenient for the user to directly open the cover to add the cleaning parts 92 to the second storage tank. The slot is opened on the first cover 122 so that the cleaning parts 92 can be moved out of the second storage tank through the slot of the second storage tank and moved to the disassembly port 21.

[0069] The opening of the second storage tank is located in the middle of the first cover 122.

[0070] Specifically, the size of the opening of the second storage tank can be slightly smaller than the size of the cleaning part 92 to be used, so that the edge of the cleaning part 92 to be used can abut against the bottom surface of the first cover 122, and after the cleaning part 92 to be used undergoes elastic deformation under the action of external force, it can be moved out of the second storage tank through the opening of the second storage tank and moved to the disassembly port 21.

[0071] In another embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, a first storage inlet is provided on the side wall of the second storage slot, and a second storage inlet is provided on the base station. When the storage mechanism is in the first position or the second position, the first storage inlet and the second storage inlet are positioned opposite each other, and the second cover 123 is detachably or openably provided on the first storage inlet.

[0072] By setting up a first storage inlet and a second storage inlet, the cleaning parts 92 to be used can be replenished into the second storage tank through the first storage inlet and the second storage inlet. The operation process is simple and convenient.

[0073] In another embodiment, the second storage slot includes a slot body 121, with a first storage inlet on its side wall and a second storage inlet on the base station. When the storage mechanism is in a first or second position, the first and second storage inlets are positioned opposite each other. There are two first covers 122: one first cover 122 is detachably or openably mounted on the top of the slot body 121, the opening of the second storage slot is located on the first cover 122, and the other second cover 123 is detachably or openably mounted on the first storage inlet. The spare cleaning parts 92 can also be replenished, making the operation simple and convenient.

[0074] In one feasible implementation, when the storage mechanism is in the first position, the first storage inlet and the second storage inlet are arranged opposite each other in the horizontal direction. In another feasible implementation, when the storage mechanism is in the second position, the first storage inlet and the second storage inlet are arranged opposite each other in the horizontal direction.

[0075] Specifically, the second storage inlet is located on the side wall of the base station. The dimensions of the first and second storage inlets can be slightly larger than the dimensions of the cleaning component 92 to facilitate the cleaning component 92 entering the second storage slot via the first and second storage inlets.

[0076] A second aspect of this embodiment provides a cleaning system including a cleaning device and a base station as described above, wherein the cleaning device is configured to dock on the base station.

[0077] The cleaning equipment can be docked at the base station and work in conjunction with it. Specifically, this coordination can include charging, dust collection, cleaning, and replacement of cleaning components.

[0078] like Figure 6 As shown, the base station includes an unlocking part 5, which is disposed at the disassembly port 21. The unlocking part 5 is used to contact the cleaning equipment and / or the cleaning components on the cleaning equipment to unlock the cleaning components from the cleaning equipment.

[0079] By setting up the unlocking unit 5 and making the unlocking unit 5 come into contact with the cleaning equipment or cleaning parts, the cleaning parts can be automatically unlocked from the cleaning equipment, reducing manual operation, improving the level of automation, and enhancing the user experience.

[0080] In one embodiment, the cleaning device may be provided with a locking part for fixing the cleaning component. The unlocking part 5 may contact the locking part on the cleaning device, thereby triggering the locking part to unlock, so that the cleaning component falls off the cleaning device and enters the first storage part 11.

[0081] In another embodiment, after the unlocking part 5 comes into contact with the cleaning component on the cleaning device, it causes the cleaning component to unlock from the cleaning device, allowing it to detach and enter the first storage part 11. Specifically, for example, the cleaning component is attached to the cleaning device with Velcro; after the unlocking part 5 contacts and secures the cleaning component, it causes the cleaning component to detach from the cleaning device.

[0082] In another embodiment, the unlocking part 5 can simultaneously contact the locking part and the cleaning component on the cleaning device, triggering the locking part to unlock and causing the cleaning component to fall off the cleaning device and enter the first storage part 11.

[0083] The base station is provided with an installation cavity. The unlocking part 5 includes a third driving member 51, a first cam 52, a connecting rod 53, a connecting plate 54 and at least one push rod 55. The third driving member 51 is connected to the first cam 52 to drive the first cam 52 to rotate. The connecting rod 53 is connected to the protrusion of the first cam 52 and the connecting plate 54 respectively to drive the connecting plate 54 to reciprocate. The push rod 55 is provided on the connecting plate 54 and moves synchronously with the connecting plate 54 to extend or retract into the installation cavity.

[0084] By causing the third drive member 51 to drive the first cam 52 to rotate, and through the transmission of the first connecting rod 64 and the connecting plate 54, the push rod 55 can reciprocate, allowing the push rod 55 to extend or retract. When extended, it can contact the cleaning equipment and / or the cleaning components on the cleaning equipment to unlock the cleaning components from the cleaning equipment. When retracted, it can avoid the cleaning equipment and / or the cleaning components.

[0085] The mounting cavity is located at the disassembly / removal port 21 of the base station. Specifically, the mounting cavity can be formed on the side wall of the disassembly / removal port 21. The third drive component 51, the first cam 52, the connecting rod 53, and the connecting plate 54 are all located within the mounting cavity. The third drive component 51 drives the push rod 55 to reciprocate through the first cam 52, the first connecting rod 64, and the connecting plate 54. When the push rod 55 moves away from the third drive component 51, it can move outside the mounting cavity, thereby triggering the locking part to unlock. When the push rod 55 moves closer to the third drive component 51, it can move into the mounting cavity.

[0086] Specifically, the first cam 52 can be configured to rotate in a vertical plane and drive the vertically positioned connecting plate 54 to move horizontally via a connecting rod. The push rod 55 can be horizontally positioned and vertically connected to the side of the connecting plate 54 away from the connecting rod 53. There can be one, two, or more push rods 55, and the number and position of the push rods 55 are adapted to the unlocking part 5 of the cleaning equipment, for example, corresponding to the opening switch of the unlocking part 5 of the cleaning equipment.

[0087] The base station includes an arrival detection unit, which is located at the disassembly / assembly port 21.

[0088] By setting up a positioning detection unit, it is possible to detect whether the cleaning equipment is parked at the base station disassembly port 21. When the equipment is detected to be in position, the unlocking unit 5 is triggered, which can improve the safety and reliability of operation and reduce accidental unlocking.

[0089] The detection unit may include a proximity switch or a micro switch, which is connected to the control device of the base station. When the cleaning equipment reaches the disassembly port 21, the switch is triggered and sends a signal to the control device, thereby enabling the cleaning equipment to be detected in place.

[0090] Specifically, the number of switch components can be one, two, or more, and the trigger end of the switch component is set towards the disassembly port 21.

[0091] The cleaning equipment is provided with a first connecting mechanism, and the cleaning component is provided with a second connecting mechanism 7. The first connecting mechanism is used to cooperate with the second connecting mechanism 7 to grab or release the cleaning component.

[0092] By setting up the first connecting mechanism and the second connecting mechanism 7, cleaning components can be released and retrieved. For example, used cleaning components 91 on the cleaning equipment can be released, and unused cleaning components 92 in the base station can be retrieved, reducing manual operation and improving ease of use. Specifically, when the cleaning equipment docks at the base station, it can release dirty mops and retrieve clean mops, improving the level of automation and thus enhancing the user experience.

[0093] The first connecting mechanism includes a fourth driving member 61, a transmission assembly, and a gripper assembly. The fourth driving member 61 is connected to the gripper assembly via the transmission assembly to drive the gripper assembly to close or separate. When the gripper assembly closes, it can lock with the second connecting mechanism 7; when the gripper assembly separates, it can unlock with the second connecting mechanism 7.

[0094] By driving the transmission assembly through the fourth drive component 61, the clamping assembly can be controlled to close or open, automatically locking or unlocking the cleaning component. When the cleaning equipment is docked at the base station, the clamping assembly automatically clamps the second connecting mechanism 7 on the waiting cleaning component 92, improving connection efficiency.

[0095] The fourth driving component 61 can be a motor, and the transmission components are connected to both the fourth driving component 61 and the gripper assembly. The transmission components can be gear transmission components, belt transmission components, linkage transmission components, etc.

[0096] In one embodiment, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the transmission assembly includes a support rod 62, a second cam 63, a first connecting rod 64, and a second connecting rod 65. The gripper assembly includes a first gripper 66 and a second gripper 67. The first gripper 66 and the second gripper 67 are respectively hinged to the support rod 62. The second cam 63 is connected to the fourth driving member 61 and is located between the first gripper 66 and the second gripper 67. The second cam 63 includes a first convex portion and a second convex portion. The first connecting rod 64 is hinged to the first convex portion and the first gripper 66 respectively. The second connecting rod 65 is hinged to the second convex portion and the second gripper 67 respectively.

[0097] The first gripper 66 and the second gripper 67 are respectively provided with hooks at the ends away from the support rod 62, and the second connecting mechanism 7 includes a buckle that is adapted to the hook.

[0098] By setting a second cam 63, and causing the first and second protrusions to drive the first gripper 66 and the second gripper 67 to simultaneously close or separate via the first connecting rod 64 and the second connecting rod 65, the gripping force of the first gripper 66 and the second gripper 67 on the cleaning part buckle is made more uniform, reducing the risk of the cleaning part tilting or falling off due to unilateral force and improving connection stability. Moreover, the transmission component has a relatively simple structure, a reliable connection structure, and high transmission efficiency.

[0099] The support rod 62 can be horizontally installed inside the base station and can be fixedly connected to the inner wall of the base station to provide a stable and reliable hinge position for the first gripper 66 and the second gripper 67.

[0100] The top of the first gripper 66 is hinged to the support rod 62, specifically to one end of the support rod 62, and the top of the second gripper 67 is hinged to the support rod 62, specifically to the other end of the support rod 62, so that the first gripper 66 and the second gripper 67 can swing around their respective hinge points as the rotation center.

[0101] Specifically, the transmission assembly is housed within the floor brush of the cleaning equipment. Both the first gripper 66 and the second gripper 67 can be elongated structures extending along the length of the floor brush. A slide rail is provided on the inner bottom wall of the floor brush, and the bottom ends of both the first gripper 66 and the second gripper 67 are slidably disposed within the slide rail.

[0102] The first and second protrusions are radially protruding portions of the second cam 63. The first and second protrusions are radially opposite to each other on the second cam 63 and protrude in opposite directions. One end of the first connecting rod 64 is hinged to the first protrusion, and the other end is hinged to a section of the first gripper 66 away from the support rod 62. One end of the second connecting rod 65 is hinged to the second protrusion, and the other end is hinged to a section of the second gripper 67 away from the support rod 62.

[0103] Specifically, the portion of the first gripper 66 away from the support rod 62 and the portion of the second gripper 67 away from the support rod 62 both match the second connecting mechanism 7, forming a concave-convex fit for locking and unlocking. For example, they can be L-shaped, E-shaped, etc., allowing them to be inserted into the second connecting mechanism 7 for locking when the first gripper 66 and the second gripper 67 are close together, and to disengage from the second connecting mechanism 7 for unlocking when the first gripper 66 and the second gripper 67 are far apart.

[0104] In this design, the motor shaft of the fourth drive member 61 is connected to the center point of the second cam 63, thereby driving the second cam 63 to rotate. Before the gripper assembly closes, the second cam 63 is in its initial position, at which point the first protrusion and the second protrusion are on the same horizontal plane. The second cam 63 pushes the first gripper 66 and the second gripper 67 to their outward swing limit position. When closing, the fourth drive member 61 can drive the second cam 63 to rotate clockwise, which, through the first link 64 and the second link 65, causes the first gripper 66 to move closer to the second gripper 67, thereby locking it with the second connecting mechanism 7 and fixing the cleaning component to the cleaning equipment. When separating, the fourth drive member 61 can drive the second cam 63 to rotate counterclockwise, which, through the first link 64 and the second link 65, causes the first gripper 66 to move away from the second gripper 67, thereby unlocking it from the second connecting mechanism 7, allowing the cleaning component to detach from the cleaning equipment.

[0105] The cleaning equipment is equipped with a dust box 8, which is independent of the cleaning components on the cleaning equipment.

[0106] By setting the dustbin 8 and the cleaning components to be independent of each other, they can be handled separately according to their level of dirtiness. For example, the dustbin 8 can be emptied separately when it is full, and the mop can be replaced or washed separately when it is dirty, reducing the cost of use.

[0107] The dust box 8 and the cleaning components are respectively located in different parts of the cleaning equipment. Specifically, they can be installed in different positions on the floor brush.

[0108] It will be readily understood by those skilled in the art that the aforementioned advantageous methods can be freely combined and superimposed without conflict.

Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application. The above are merely implementation methods of this application. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of this application, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of this application.
