The inlet of the cleaning pump 202 is connected to the bottom of the cleaning water storage tank 201 via a water pipe, and the outlet of the cleaning pump 202 is connected to the inlet of the steam generator 203 via a water pipe. A branch pipe 205 is sleeved on the outlet of the steam generator 203. Both water outlets are equipped with steam nozzles 206. During operation, the cleaning pump 202 draws clean water from the cleaning water storage tank 201. The drawn clean water is heated and vaporized by the steam generator 203 and finally sprayed out through the steam nozzles 206 to cover the cleaning part of the robot vacuum cleaner. The high-temperature steam has both physical rinsing and sterilization effects, which can effectively decompose oil stains, dust and microbial residues. Compared with the traditional water washing method, the cleaning efficiency is higher and no chemical reagents are required, which improves the cleaning efficiency while reducing the cleaning cost.

[0030] A heat insulation plate 204 is provided between the cleaning pump 202 and the steam generator 203. The side wall of the heat insulation plate 204 is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the receiving tank 103. The addition of the heat insulation plate 204 between the cleaning pump 202 and the steam generator 203 effectively prevents the heat from affecting each other during the operation of the equipment, which not only ensures operational safety but also reduces energy loss and extends the service life of the core components.

[0031] The bottom of the robot recycling chamber 102 is provided with a storage groove 103 for storing branch pipes 205. The storage groove 103 is specifically designed to store branch pipes 205, preventing the pipes from becoming cluttered and affecting the working space. A support frame 5 is installed on the top of the storage groove 103. The bottom of the support frame 5 has symmetrical through holes 501. Two steam nozzles 206 are fixed to the inner walls of the two through holes 501, with the nozzles of the steam nozzles 206 facing upwards. A drain hole 503 is provided on the rear side wall of the support frame 5, and the drain hole 503 corresponds to the position of the wastewater recycling tank 7. The bottom of the inner wall of the support frame 5 is provided with several support... The protrusion 502 and drainage hole 503 correspond directly to the wastewater recovery tank 7. The wastewater after cleaning is recovered by the special wastewater recovery component 7 to avoid equipment corrosion or environmental pollution caused by liquid overflow. Both ends of the branch pipe 205 are equipped with steam nozzles 206, which, together with the through hole 501 of the support frame 5, ensure that the steam coverage is without dead corners. The upward-facing nozzle design can adapt to the cleaning needs of equipment of different heights. The support protrusion 502 supports the part of the sweeping robot to be cleaned and provides ample spray space for the steam nozzles 206 to cover the part to be cleaned and ensure the cleaning area.

[0032] The wastewater recycling assembly 3 includes a wastewater recycling tank 301 fixed inside the storage cavity 101 on the other side and a wastewater collection pump 303. The wastewater collection pump 303 is located below the wastewater recycling tank 301. The inlet of the wastewater collection pump 303 is connected to a pumping pipe 304. The other end of the pumping pipe 304 is connected to the wastewater recycling tank 7. The outlet of the wastewater collection pump 303 is connected to a drain pipe 302. The outlet of the drain pipe 302 is located above the wastewater collection pump 303. When recycling clean wastewater, the wastewater accumulates and flows into the wastewater recycling tank 7. The wastewater collection pump 303 extracts the wastewater through the pumping pipe 304. The extracted wastewater is recycled back to the wastewater recycling tank 301 through the drain pipe 302. The wastewater generated during cleaning is extracted in real time to avoid wastewater accumulation and pollution, and to facilitate the recycling of water resources.

[0033] A guide base 4 is fixed to the bottom front wall of the base station body 1. The upper surface of the guide base 4 and the top of the bearing protrusion 502 are on the same plane. The robot is retracted to the bearing frame 5 in the cavity. The bottom bearing protrusion 502 is flush with the upper surface of the guide base 4, providing a stable parking platform for the robot.

[0034] The charging connector 6 is located above the wastewater recycling tank 7, arranged in layers, with electrical components kept away from the liquid area to ensure electrical safety. The charging connector 6 is connected to the sensing device inside the base station body 1. The sensing device is electrically connected to the cleaning pump 202, steam generator 203, and wastewater collection pump 303. The charging connector 6 integrates the sensing device and is electrically connected to the cleaning pump 202, steam generator 203, and wastewater collection pump 303. When the robot is connected for charging, it triggers an automatic cleaning program to supply water, heat and generate steam, spray cleaning, and recycle wastewater, all without human intervention.

[0035] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: When in use, when the sweeping robot is recycled to the robot recycling chamber 102 of the base station body 1 via the guide base 4, the sweeping robot automatically docks with the charging connector 6 for charging, and the automatic cleaning program is automatically triggered by the sensor to supply water, and the cleaning pump 202, steam generator 203 and wastewater collection pump 303 are started.

[0036] The cleaning pump 202 draws clean water from the cleaning water storage tank 201. The drawn clean water is heated and vaporized by the steam generator 203, and finally sprayed out through the steam nozzle 206 to cover the cleaning part of the sweeping robot. The high-temperature steam has both physical rinsing and sterilization effects, which can effectively decompose oil stains, dust and microbial residues without the need for chemical reagents, improving cleaning efficiency while reducing cleaning costs. The cleaning wastewater is collected and flows into the wastewater recycling tank 7. The wastewater collection pump 303 draws the wastewater through the water suction pipe 304, and the drawn wastewater is recycled to the wastewater recycling tank 301 through the drain pipe 302. The wastewater generated during cleaning is drawn out in real time to avoid the accumulation of wastewater and pollution, and to facilitate the recycling of water resources.
