Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cleaning device technology, and more specifically, to a base station and a cleaning system. Background Technology

[0002] In related technologies, a solenoid valve is typically installed at the outlet of the clean water tank in the base station. When the clean water tank needs to supply water to the main unit, the solenoid valve connects the clean water tank and the main unit, supplying water to the main unit. When the clean water tank needs to supply water to the cleaning tank of the base station, the solenoid valve connects the clean water tank and the cleaning tank, filling the cleaning tank with water for cleaning mops. Although this method can supply water from the clean water tank to both the main unit and the cleaning tank, the presence of a solenoid valve at the outlet of the clean water tank increases the maintenance cost of the base station, which is not conducive to cost savings. Utility Model Content

[0003] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide a base station and cleaning system, which at least solves the problem of high maintenance costs of existing base stations.

[0004] According to one aspect of the present invention, a base station is provided, comprising:

[0005] The main body is equipped with a clean water tank, a cleaning tank, and a pumping device.

[0006] The channel assembly includes a first channel and a second channel. The pumping device is connected to the clean water tank for at least conveying liquid from the clean water tank to the first channel, and the first channel is at least used to convey liquid to the cleaning unit. The second channel is at least used to connect the cleaning tank and the cleaning unit to convey liquid flowing from the clean water tank to the cleaning unit to the cleaning tank.

[0007] Furthermore, the main body is also provided with a hot water module, the first channel includes a first channel section and a second channel section, the pumping device includes a peristaltic pump, and the peristaltic pump includes a water intake end and a water outlet end;

[0008] The hot water module includes a cold water end and a hot water end. The pumping end is connected to the clean water tank. The outlet end is connected to the cold water end through the first channel section. The hot water end is connected to the cleaning host through the second channel section.

[0009] Furthermore, the main body is also provided with a cleaning fluid storage device, which is connected to the first channel segment or the second channel segment.

[0010] Furthermore, the cleaning tank includes a first tank body, and the channel assembly further includes a third channel, one end of which is connected to the second channel, and the other end of which is connected to the first tank body.

[0011] Furthermore, the channel assembly also includes a three-way pipe, the cleaning tank also includes a second tank body, and the channel assembly also includes a fourth channel;

[0012] The three-way pipe includes a first interface, a second interface, and a third interface. The first interface is connected to the second channel for at least communication with the cleaning host. The second interface is connected to the first tank through the third channel. The third interface is connected to the second tank through the fourth channel.

[0013] Furthermore, the main body also includes a first pipe connector and a second pipe connector. The first pipe connector is disposed at the end of the first channel away from the pumping device for at least connection with the cleaning host, and the second pipe connector is disposed at the end of the second channel away from the cleaning tank for at least connection with the cleaning host.

[0014] Furthermore, the cleaning unit is provided with a water inlet and a drain outlet. The first pipe connector is at least used to connect to the water inlet, and the second pipe connector is at least used to connect to the drain outlet. The end of the second channel opposite to the second pipe connector is connected to the cleaning tank so as to transport the liquid flowing from the clean water tank to the cleaning unit to the cleaning tank.

[0015] On the other hand, this application also provides a cleaning system, which includes the aforementioned base station and the cleaning host, wherein the water inlet of the cleaning host is at least used to communicate with the first channel, and the drain outlet of the cleaning host is at least used to communicate with the second channel.

[0016] Furthermore, the cleaning unit is also equipped with a clean water box, a first water guiding channel, and a second water guiding channel;

[0017] The first water guide channel is connected between the clean water box and the water inlet, and the end of the first water guide channel near the clean water box is located at the top of the clean water box. The second water guide channel is connected between the clean water box and the drain outlet, and the end of the second water guide channel near the clean water box is located at the top of the clean water box.

[0018] Furthermore, the cleaning unit is also equipped with a water outlet, a water inlet valve, a drain valve, and an air pump. The water outlet is connected to the clean water box, the water inlet valve is located at the water inlet, the drain valve is located at the drain outlet, and the air pump is connected to the clean water box to at least apply positive pressure to the clean water box.

[0019] When the water tank needs to be filled with liquid, the first pipe connector of the base station is connected to the water inlet to open the water inlet valve to deliver liquid to the water tank, and the second pipe connector of the base station is connected to the drain outlet to open the drain valve to deliver liquid to the cleaning tank of the base station.

[0020] When the cleaning unit is performing cleaning work, both the water inlet valve and the drain valve are closed, and the air pump applies positive pressure to the clean water box so that the liquid in the clean water box is discharged from the outlet.

[0021] In this invention, the base station is equipped with a clean water tank for storing liquid, and a pumping device is connected to the clean water tank. This allows the pumping device to transport the liquid from the clean water tank to the first channel, and then, through the guiding effect of the first channel, the liquid flowing out of the clean water tank is accurately delivered to the cleaning host. This ensures that the cleaning host has a stable and appropriate supply of cleaning liquid during operation, guaranteeing the continuous and efficient cleaning work. In actual operation, the pumping device uses its own suction to draw liquid from the clean water tank and transport it to the first channel, and then delivers it to the cleaning host through the first channel, thereby achieving the function of injecting liquid into the cleaning host. When the liquid in the cleaning host reaches a certain amount, the excess liquid in the cleaning host can be transported to the cleaning tank through the second channel, and the liquid in the cleaning tank can clean the cleaning host, thereby achieving the function of cleaning the cleaning host. The base station of this application does not require additional water circuits and solenoid valves, but only requires the pumping device, the first channel, and the second channel to achieve the purpose of injecting liquid into the cleaning host and the cleaning tank. Compared with existing base stations, the base station of this application has a simpler structure and is easier to maintain, thus requiring less maintenance cost and helping to save costs.

[0022] In other words, compared to existing base stations, the base station of this application does not require a separate water path from the clean water tank to the cleaning tank. Instead, the cleaning host and the cleaning tank are connected to a single water path, with the cleaning host injecting liquid into the cleaning tank. This eliminates the need for a separate water path for injecting liquid into the cleaning tank and the solenoid valve for controlling the switching of the water path, making the structure of the base station of this application simpler and reducing maintenance costs.

[0033] It should be noted that, where there is no conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this utility model can be combined with each other. The present utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0034] It should be noted that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to the present invention. As used herein, the singular form is intended to include the plural form as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Furthermore, it should be understood that when the terms "comprising" and / or "including" are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components, and / or combinations thereof.

[0035] Unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangement, numerical expressions, and values ​​of the components and steps described in these embodiments do not limit the scope of this invention. It should also be understood that, for ease of description, the dimensions of the various parts shown in the drawings are not drawn to actual scale. Techniques, methods, and devices known to those skilled in the art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, such techniques, methods, and devices should be considered part of the specification. In all examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values ​​should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not as limitations. Therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values. It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters in the following drawings denote similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it need not be further discussed in subsequent drawings.

[0036] As mentioned in the background section, in related technologies, a solenoid valve is typically installed at the outlet of the clean water tank in a base station. When the clean water tank needs to supply water to the main unit, the solenoid valve connects the clean water tank and the main unit, supplying water to the main unit. When the clean water tank needs to supply water to the cleaning tank of the base station, the solenoid valve connects the clean water tank and the cleaning tank, filling the cleaning tank with water for cleaning mops. Although this method can supply water from the clean water tank to both the main unit and the cleaning tank, the presence of a solenoid valve at the outlet of the clean water tank increases the maintenance cost of the base station, which is not conducive to cost savings. Therefore, this application provides a base station with lower maintenance costs, which is beneficial for cost savings.

[0037] See Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this application provides a base station 100, which includes a main body 10 and a channel component 20.

[0038] The main body 10 is provided with a clean water tank 11, a cleaning tank 121 and a pumping device 13; the channel assembly 20 includes a first channel 21 and a second channel 22. The pumping device 13 is connected to the clean water tank 11 to at least transport the liquid in the clean water tank 11 to the first channel 21, and the first channel 21 is at least used to transport liquid to the cleaning host 40. The second channel 22 is at least used to connect the cleaning tank 121 and the cleaning host 40 to transport the liquid flowing from the clean water tank 11 to the cleaning host 40 to the cleaning tank 121.

[0039] In this application, a clean water tank 11 for storing liquid is provided on the base station 100. A pumping device 13 is connected to the clean water tank 11, which allows the pumping device 13 to transport the liquid in the clean water tank 11 to the first channel 21. Then, through the guiding effect of the first channel 21, the liquid flowing out of the clean water tank 11 is accurately transported to the cleaning host 40. This ensures that the cleaning host 40 has a stable and appropriate supply of cleaning liquid during operation, guaranteeing the continuous and efficient cleaning work. In actual operation, the pumping device 13 can draw out the liquid from the clean water tank 11 and transport it to the first channel 21 through its own suction action. Subsequently, it is transported to the cleaning host 40 through the first channel 21, thereby achieving the function of injecting liquid into the cleaning host 40. When the liquid in the cleaning host 40 reaches a certain amount, the excess liquid in the cleaning host 40 can be transported to the cleaning tank 121 through the second channel 22. The liquid in the cleaning tank 121 can clean the cleaning host 40, thereby achieving the function of cleaning the cleaning host 40. The base station 100 of this application does not require additional water channels or solenoid valves. Instead, it can inject liquid into the cleaning host 40 and the cleaning tank 121 simply through the pumping device 13, the first channel 21, and the second channel 22. Compared with existing base stations, the base station 100 of this application has a simpler structure and is easier to maintain. Therefore, it requires less maintenance and is conducive to cost savings.

[0040] In other words, compared to existing base stations, the base station 100 of this application does not require a separate water path from the clean water tank 11 to the cleaning tank 121. Instead, the cleaning host 40 and the cleaning tank 121 are connected to a single water path, with the cleaning host 40 injecting liquid into the cleaning tank 121. This eliminates the need for a separate water path for injecting liquid into the cleaning tank 121 and the solenoid valve for controlling the switching of the water path, making the structure of the base station 100 of this application simpler and reducing maintenance costs.

[0041] It is understood that the liquid in the aforementioned clean water tank 11 can be clean water or a mixture of clean water and cleaning solution. This can be reasonably selected according to the actual needs, and this application does not impose specific restrictions. For the convenience of introducing the base station 100 of this application, this embodiment mainly describes the case where the liquid in the clean water tank 11 is water. In addition, when the pumping device 13 is a water pump or similar device, the pumping device 13 is connected between the first channel 21 and the clean water tank 11, and the pumping device 13 can pump the water in the clean water tank 11 and deliver it to the first channel 21, so that the first channel 21 can deliver the water flowing out of the clean water tank 11 to the cleaning host 40, thereby achieving the function of injecting water into the cleaning host 40; when the pumping device 13 is a pneumatic pump or similar device, both the pumping device 13 and the first channel 21 are directly connected to the clean water tank 11. In this case, if the pumping device 13 delivers positive pressure to the clean water tank 11, the water in the clean water tank 11 can flow out from the first channel 21 under the action of positive pressure and be injected into the cleaning host 40. To facilitate the introduction of the base station 100 of this application, this embodiment mainly describes the case where the pumping device 13 is a water pump.

[0042] Further, see Figure 2 , Figure 3 as well as Figure 6 As shown, the main body 10 is also provided with a hot water module 14. The first channel 21 includes a first channel section 211 and a second channel section 212. The pumping device 13 includes a peristaltic pump 130, and the peristaltic pump 130 includes a water intake end 131 and a water outlet end 132. The hot water module 14 includes a cold water end 141 and a hot water end 142. The water intake end 131 is connected to the clean water tank 11. The water outlet end 132 is connected to the cold water end 141 through the first channel section 211. The hot water end 142 is connected to the cleaning host 40 through the second channel section 212.

[0043] Specifically, in actual operation, the pumping device 13 draws water from the clean water tank 11, delivers cold water through the first channel section 211 to the cold water end 141 of the hot water module 14, and then delivers it from the hot water end 142 through the second channel section 212 to the cleaning host 40, thus realizing the process of obtaining cold water from the clean water tank 11 and converting it into hot water for supply to the cleaning host 40. This allows the cleaning host 40 to use hot water for cleaning during operation. For some stubborn stains, hot water can better dissolve and remove them, greatly enhancing the cleaning effect of the cleaning host 40 compared to cold water cleaning. Providing hot water cleaning function enables the base station 100 to adapt to various cleaning scenarios. Different stains have different cleaning effects at different water temperatures. By reasonably adjusting the hot water module 14, the base station 100 can inject water of different temperatures into the cleaning host 40. This allows the cleaning host 40 to use water of suitable temperature for different cleaning scenarios, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the cleaning host 40, expanding the applicability of the base station 100, and improving its versatility and practicality. The first channel 21 is subdivided into a first channel segment 211 and a second channel segment 212, which are precisely connected to the ports of the peristaltic pump 130 and the hot water module 14, forming a clear and reasonable water delivery path. This clear path planning helps ensure that water flows orderly within the system, reducing chaos and interference during water delivery. The pump end 131 of the peristaltic pump 130 is connected to the clean water tank 11, and the outlet end 132 is connected to the cold water end 141 of the hot water module 14. This connection method ensures that the hot water module 14 has a stable cold water supply, thereby ensuring that the cleaning unit 40 has a stable hot water supply. A stable water flow supply is crucial for the normal operation of the cleaning unit 40. It ensures that the cleaning unit 40 can operate with a stable flow rate and pressure during operation, whether it is wiping, mopping, or other cleaning operations, avoiding the impact on cleaning effect or damage to the internal components of the cleaning unit 40 due to unstable water flow. Since components such as the hot water module 14 and the peristaltic pump 130 are all located on the main body 10, maintenance personnel can easily access these components when performing maintenance and repair work, without the need for a complicated disassembly process to expose the components, thus saving maintenance time and costs.

[0044] Further, see Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the main body 10 is also provided with a cleaning fluid storage device 15, which is connected to the first channel section 211 or the second channel section 212.

[0045] Specifically, a cleaning fluid storage device 15 is provided on the main body 10 and is connected to either the first channel segment 211 or the second channel segment 212, allowing the cleaning fluid to mix with the water delivered to the cleaning host 40. In other words, in this application, the cleaning fluid storage device 15 can be connected to either the first channel segment 211 or the second channel segment 212; this embodiment shows the case where the cleaning fluid storage device 15 is connected to the second channel segment 212. The cleaning fluid has specific functions such as stain removal and sterilization, and when mixed with water, it can significantly enhance the cleaning effect of the cleaning host 40. For example, when cleaning a kitchen with heavy grease, the surfactant component in the cleaning fluid can effectively decompose grease, allowing the mixed water sprayed by the cleaning host 40 to remove grease more quickly and thoroughly. Compared to cleaning with water alone, the cleaning efficiency and quality are greatly improved. In this application, different types of cleaning fluid can be used according to different cleaning scenarios. By connecting the cleaning fluid storage device 15 to the first channel segment 211 or the second channel segment 212 and adjusting the mixing ratio of the cleaning fluid and water, the base station 100 can adapt to the cleaning needs of various scenarios, further expanding its application range. The connection between the cleaning fluid storage device 15 and the first channel segment 211 or the second channel segment 212 ensures that the cleaning fluid and water are fully mixed during transport. When the cleaning fluid is injected into the channel, it is uniformly mixed with the water through the physical structure or flow characteristics within the channel. In this way, every portion of water sprayed by the cleaning host 40 has the same cleaning capacity, ensuring consistent cleaning results.

[0046] Further, see Figure 2 , Figures 4 to 7 As shown, the cleaning tank 121 includes a first tank body 1211, and the channel assembly 20 further includes a third channel 24. One end of the third channel 24 is connected to the second channel 22, and the other end of the third channel 24 is connected to the first tank body 1211. Specifically, the second channel 22 is connected to the first tank body 1211 through the third channel 24. This allows water that is transported to the cleaning host 40 through the first channel 21 and flows out of the cleaning host 40 to flow into the first tank body 1211 through the second channel 22 and the third channel 24, thereby enabling the cleaning host 40 to be cleaned, for example, by cleaning the mop or roller of the cleaning host 40.

[0047] Further, see Figure 2 , Figures 4 to 7As shown, the channel assembly 20 also includes a three-way pipe 23, the cleaning tank 121 also includes a second tank body 1212, and the channel assembly 20 also includes a fourth channel 25; the third pipe 23 includes a first interface 231, a second interface 232 and a third interface 233, the first interface 231 is connected to the second channel 22 for at least communication with the cleaning host 40, the second interface 232 is connected to the first tank body 1211 through the third channel 24, and the third interface 233 is connected to the second tank body 1212 through the fourth channel 25.

[0048] Specifically, this application involves installing a three-way pipe 23 on the base station 100. The first interface 231 of the three-way pipe 23 is connected to the second channel 22 and can communicate with the cleaning host 40. The second interface 232 is connected to the first tank 1211 via the third channel 24, and the third interface 233 is connected to the second tank 1212 via the fourth channel 25. This allows water delivered to the cleaning host 40 via the first channel 21 and flowing out of the cleaning host 40 to be simultaneously distributed to the first tank 1211 and the second tank 1212 via the second channel 22 and the three-way pipe 23. This ensures that both the first tank 1211 and the second tank 1212 simultaneously have sufficient water to clean the cleaning host 40 (e.g., to clean the two mops of the cleaning host 40). The arrangement of the three-way pipe 23, the third channel 24, and the fourth channel 25 makes the internal channel layout of the base station 100 more rational, and makes the connection between the various structures within the base station 100 (such as the water tank 11, the first tank 1211, and the second tank 1212) more compact and orderly. This design reduces unnecessary space occupation in the base station 100 and improves the integration of the internal structure of the base station 100. It avoids a messy channel arrangement, allowing the base station 100 to arrange various components more rationally within a limited space, thereby improving space utilization. The clear connection structure between the tee pipe 23 and each channel (i.e., tee pipe 23, third channel 24 and fourth channel 25) and the tank (i.e., first tank 1211 and second tank 1212) allows for a clear understanding of the water flow direction and the relationship between various components during maintenance and troubleshooting. Maintenance personnel can quickly determine whether the problem is a channel blockage, a tee pipe malfunction, or a problem with the tank itself based on the interfaces of the tee pipe 23 (i.e., first interface 231, second interface 232 and third interface 233) and the channels connected to it, thus improving the efficiency of troubleshooting.

[0049] Further, see Figure 2 , Figure 4 as well as Figure 6 As shown, the main body 10 also includes a first pipe connector 16 and a second pipe connector 17. The first pipe connector 16 is disposed at one end of the first channel 21 away from the pumping device 13 for at least connection to the cleaning host 40, and the second pipe connector 17 is disposed at one end of the second channel 22 away from the cleaning tank 121 for at least connection to the cleaning host 40.

[0050] Specifically, the first pipe connector 16 is located at the end of the first channel 21 opposite to the pumping device 13, and the second pipe connector 17 is located at the end of the second channel 22 opposite to the cleaning tank 121, both for connecting to the cleaning host 40. This makes the connection between the cleaning host 40 and the base station 100 very convenient. During the process of the cleaning host 40 returning to the base station 100 (i.e., the cleaning host 40 returning to its original position), the cleaning host 40 only needs to quickly connect with the corresponding pipe connectors (i.e., the first pipe connector 16 and the second pipe connector 17) on the base station 100. No other complex steps or professional tools are required to complete the connection between the base station 100 and the cleaning host 40, greatly simplifying the connection process and improving the efficiency of the cleaning host 40's return to its original position. The pipe connectors also help ensure the stability of the connection between the cleaning host 40 and the base station 100. The first pipe connector 16 and the second pipe connector 17 can tightly connect the cleaning host 40, preventing the connection from loosening due to vibration, water pressure, or other factors during the process of the base station 100 filling water into the cleaning host 40 and the cleaning tank 121, thereby ensuring the stable operation of the water delivery and circulation system. The first pipe connector 16 and the second pipe connector 17 correspond to the first channel 21 and the second channel 22, respectively, and are both used to connect to the cleaning host 40, making the water delivery path more precise. The first channel 21 accurately delivers liquid from the clean water tank 11, which has been treated by mixing with the hot water module 14 and cleaning liquid, to the cleaning host 40 through the first pipe connector 16, meeting the cleaning needs of the cleaning host 40. The second channel 22 delivers liquid from the base station 100 to the cleaning tank 121 through the second pipe connector 17, achieving the purpose of delivering liquid to the cleaning tank 121, so that the cleaning tank 121 can clean the mop or roller and other structures on the cleaning host 40. The setting of the first pipe connector 16 and the second pipe connector 17 increases the versatility and compatibility of the base station 100 with different types of cleaning hosts 40. Cleaning hosts 40 produced by different manufacturers may have different interface specifications and shapes. By setting pipe connectors, appropriate pipe connectors can be selected for adaptation according to the actual interface of the cleaning host 40. This allows the base station 100 to be used with a variety of cleaning hosts 40, expanding its application range.

[0051] Further, see Figures 2 to 6 As shown, the cleaning unit 40 is provided with a water inlet 41 and a drain outlet 42. The first pipe connector 16 is used to connect to the water inlet 41 at least, and the second pipe connector 17 is used to connect to the drain outlet 42 at least. The end of the second channel 22 opposite to the second pipe connector 17 is connected to the cleaning tank 121 to transport the liquid flowing from the clean water tank 11 to the cleaning unit 40 to the cleaning tank 121.

[0052] Specifically, the water inlet 41 and drain outlet 42 provide a clear liquid inlet and outlet channel for the cleaning unit 40. The first pipe connector 16 is connected to the water inlet 41, and the second pipe connector 17 is connected to the drain outlet 42, allowing water from the clean water tank 11 to flow smoothly into the cleaning unit 40. When the cleaning unit 40 is full of water, excess water can be discharged through the drain outlet 42. Since the second pipe connector 17 is connected to the drain outlet 42 at this time, the water discharged from the drain outlet 42 of the cleaning unit 40 can be guided through the second pipe connector 17 to the second channel 22, and finally guided from the second channel 22 to the cleaning tank 121, thus providing water to the cleaning unit 40 and the cleaning tank 121 through a single water supply route.

[0053] Further, see Figure 3 , Figure 4 as well as Figure 6 As shown, the main body 10 also includes a dust collection box 18 and a fan 19, and the channel assembly 20 also includes a dust collection channel 26; the fan 19 includes an air inlet 191 and an air outlet 192, one end of the dust collection channel 26 is connected to the dust collection box 18, and the other end of the dust collection channel 26 is at least used to connect to the cleaning host 40 to collect the garbage in the cleaning host 40, the air inlet 191 is connected to the dust collection box 18, and the air outlet 192 extends to the bottom surface of the main body 10.

[0054] Specifically, the main body 10 is equipped with a dust collection box 18, a fan 19, and a dust collection channel 26. One end of the dust collection channel 26 is connected to the dust collection box 18, and the other end is connected to the cleaning host 40, which can collect the waste collected by the cleaning host 40 during the cleaning process. The operation of the fan 19 creates a negative pressure in the dust collection box 18 and the dust collection channel 26, thereby sucking the waste in the cleaning host 40 into the dust collection box 18, preventing the waste from accumulating in the cleaning host 40 and affecting the cleaning effect. The air outlet 192 of the fan 19 extends to the bottom surface of the main body 10, making clever use of space. This layout avoids the air outlet 192 occupying excessive horizontal space, while guiding the exhaust air to the bottom surface of the main body 10. This serves several purposes: firstly, it blows out debris from the bottom of the main body 10, facilitating cleaning; secondly, it dries any residual water on the bottom of the main body 10 (as a small amount of water inevitably enters and remains at the bottom of the base station 100 during operation); and thirdly, it reduces noise at the air outlet 192, thus minimizing noise pollution. Compared to existing base stations where the air outlet 192 is located on the side, the base station 100 of this application also prevents damage to the wall from the air outlet 192 when it faces the wall directly, providing better protection for the wall. Furthermore, when the fan 19 is operating, the air exhausted through the air outlet 192 carries away some of the heat generated during the operation of the base station 100, thus serving a cooling function. This is crucial for ensuring the normal performance and service life of the fan 19 and the base station 100 structure.

[0055] Further, see Figure 1 , Figures 3 to 7 As shown, a tray 12 is provided at the bottom of the main body 10, and a cleaning tank 121 is located at the top of the tray 12. The cleaning tank 121 includes a first region 1213 and a second region 1214. The second region 1214 is closer to the back of the base station 100 than the first region 1213. The depth of the first region 1213 is less than the depth of the second region 1214.

[0056] Specifically, the cleaning tank 121 is divided into a first region 1213 and a second region 1214, and the second region 1214 is closer to the back of the base station 100 than the first region 1213, while the first region 1213 is closer to the front of the base station 100 (i.e., Figure 4 The base station 100 is shown from the perspective of [the viewpoint]. Furthermore, the second region 1214 has a greater groove depth than the first region 1213, meaning that along the height direction of the main body 10 (i.e., [the groove depth is greater]). Figure 1 and Figure 4(As shown in the height direction), the height of the tank wall in the first region 1213 is lower than the height of the tank wall in the second region 1214. If the water level in the cleaning tank 121 exceeds the top of the tank wall in the first region 1213, the water in the cleaning tank 121 will overflow. Therefore, the water output and speed of the clean water tank 11 of the base station 100 should be reasonably controlled. The water output of the clean water tank 11 should meet the internal water requirements of the cleaning host 40 and be sufficient for the cleaning tank 121 to clean the cleaning host 40. At the same time, the water output speed of the clean water tank 11 should not exceed the wastewater recovery speed of the base station 100. If the water output speed of the clean water tank 11 exceeds the wastewater recovery speed of the base station 100, the water in the cleaning tank 121 may overflow.

[0057] Further, see Figure 1 , Figures 3 to 7 As shown, the base station 100 also includes a water level detection device 30, and a sludge guide trough 122 is also provided on the tray 12; the sludge guide trough 122 is connected to the cleaning tank 121, and the bottom surface of the sludge guide trough 122 is lower than the bottom surface of the deepest part of the cleaning tank 121. The water level detection device 30 is at least partially located in the sludge guide trough 122 to detect the water level height in the sludge guide trough 122.

[0058] Specifically, the sludge guide trough 122 is connected to the cleaning tank 121, and the bottom of the sludge guide trough 122 is lower than the bottom of the deepest part of the cleaning tank 121. This allows the liquid and dirt in the cleaning tank 121 to flow naturally into the sludge guide trough 122. During the cleaning process of the cleaning host 40, heavier stains and impurities will settle into the sludge guide trough 122 with the flow of liquid, achieving effective collection and centralized treatment of stains and preventing impurities from accumulating in the cleaning tank 121 and affecting the cleaning effect. The water level detection device 30 is at least partially located in the sludge guide trough 122. By detecting the water level in the sludge guide trough 122, the drainage status of the cleaning tank 121 and the status of the wastewater recycling system (not shown in the figure) of the base station 100 can be indirectly understood. Because the sludge guide trough 122 is connected to the cleaning tank 121 and is located at a lower position, the water level change in the sludge guide trough 122 can accurately reflect the discharge and accumulation of liquid in the cleaning tank 121. For example, when drainage from the cleaning tank 121 is obstructed, the water level in the wastewater guide trough 122 will rise. Once the water level detection device 30 detects that the water level exceeds a predetermined height, it can promptly issue an alarm and / or provide feedback to the control system of the base station 100, reminding operators to handle the situation and / or controlling the base station 100 to stop operation, thus preventing the wastewater from overflowing from the cleaning tank 121. Furthermore, the effective collection of dirt by the wastewater guide trough 122 helps maintain the cleanliness of the cleaning tank 121, ensuring its continuous normal operation. Excessive dirt in the cleaning tank 121 may affect the cleaning effect or even clog the drainage pipes. The wastewater guide trough 122 concentrates and collects dirt, reducing impurities in the cleaning tank 121, allowing it to better perform its cleaning function and improve cleaning efficiency.

[0059] Further, see Figure 1 , Figure 3 as well as Figure 5 As shown, the base station 100 includes a cleaning mode and a full water mode. The water level detection device 30 includes a swing arm 31, a float 32, a counterweight 33, and a detection element 34. The swing arm 31 is rotatably mounted on the tray 12 and can swing back and forth along the height direction of the base station 100. The float 32 is located at one end of the swing arm 31 near the guide trough 122, and the float 32 rises and falls with the water level in the guide trough 122 to drive the swing arm 31 to swing back and forth along the height direction of the base station 100. The counterweight 33 is located at one end of the swing arm 31 away from the float 32. The detection element 34 is located on the side wall of the guide trough 122 to at least detect the height of the float 32 in order to determine the water level in the guide trough 122. When the base station 100 is in the cleaning mode, when the detection element 34 detects that the difference between the water level in the guide trough 122 and the highest point of the first area 1213 is less than a predetermined distance, the base station 100 is controlled to switch to the full water mode.

[0060] Specifically, the water level detection device 30, through the coordinated operation of the swing arm 31, float 32, counterweight 33, and detection element 34, can accurately sense the water level in the sewage guide trough 122. The float 32 rises and falls with the water level, driving the swing arm 31 along the height direction of the base station 100 (i.e.,...). Figure 1 and Figure 4 The counterweight 33 ensures the balance and stability of the swing arm 31, allowing the float 32 to more sensitively follow water level changes. In this application, the shape, size, and weight of the counterweight 33 can be reasonably adjusted according to actual conditions and needs; no specific limitations are imposed. The detection element 34 is located on the side wall of the sludge guide trough 122 and determines the water level by detecting the height of the float 32. This design achieves accurate water level measurement, providing accurate data support for the intelligent control of the base station 100. When the base station 100 is in cleaning mode, the detection element 34 monitors the difference between the water level in the sludge guide trough 122 and the highest point of the first area 1213 in real time. Once the difference is less than a predetermined distance (i.e., when the water level in the cleaning tank 121 is close to the lowest point of the top of the side wall of the first area 1213), it means that if water continues to be added to the cleaning tank 121, the water in the cleaning tank 121 may overflow. At this time, the control base station 100 switches to the full water mode and can also remind the operator to perform maintenance by issuing an alarm (such as a combination of sound, light, and client program reminders). In addition, when the sewage guide trough 122 has poor drainage or other abnormalities, the sewage drainage speed in the cleaning tank 121 is slow, which may also cause the water in the cleaning tank 121 to overflow. At this time, the control base station 100 switches to the full water mode and can also remind the operator to perform maintenance by issuing an alarm. This can effectively prevent liquid from overflowing from the cleaning tank 121 due to excessive water level and flowing into other components of the base station 100, causing damage to the base station 100, and ensuring the safety and stability of the base station 100 during the cleaning process. By monitoring the water level in the sewage guide trough 122 and intelligently switching modes, the cleaning process of the base station 100 is optimized. In cleaning mode, the system runs continuously. When the water level approaches the highest point of the first zone 1213, it immediately stops, prompting the operator to check the drainage system or address any other issues that might affect drainage. This prevents cleaning from continuing when the water level is too high, which could lead to reduced cleaning effectiveness or other problems, ensuring the efficiency and quality of the cleaning work.

[0061] On the other hand, see Figures 1 to 7As shown, this application also provides a cleaning system 1000, which includes the aforementioned base station 100 and cleaning host 40. Therefore, the cleaning system 1000 includes all the technical effects of the aforementioned base station 100 and cleaning host 40. Since the technical effects of the base station 100 have been described in detail above, they will not be repeated here. Furthermore, the water inlet 41 of the cleaning host 40 is at least used to communicate with the first channel 21, and the drain outlet 42 of the cleaning host 40 is at least used to communicate with the second channel 22.

[0062] Specifically, during actual operation, when the cleaning unit 40 completes its cleaning work or needs replenishment of water and power, it moves to the corresponding position on the base station 100 and docks with it (i.e., the cleaning unit 40 returns to its original position). At this time, the first pipe connector 16 connects to the water inlet 41, thereby injecting water from the clean water tank 11 into the cleaning unit 40. The second pipe connector 17 connects to the drain outlet 42, thereby injecting excess water from the cleaning unit 40 into the cleaning tank 121, thus achieving the purpose of simultaneously filling both the cleaning unit 40 and the cleaning tank 121 with water.

[0063] Further, see Figure 2 , Figure 6 as well as Figure 7 As shown, the cleaning unit 40 is also equipped with a clean water box 43, a first water guide channel 44 and a second water guide channel 45; the first water guide channel 44 is connected between the clean water box 43 and the water inlet 41, and the end of the first water guide channel 44 near the clean water box 43 is located at the top of the clean water box 43; the second water guide channel 45 is connected between the clean water box 43 and the drain outlet 42, and the end of the second water guide channel 45 near the clean water box 43 is located at the top of the clean water box 43.

[0064] Specifically, a clean water tank 43 is installed on the cleaning unit 40, and a first water guide channel 44 connects the clean water tank 43 to the water inlet 41, while a second water guide channel 45 connects the clean water tank 43 to the drain outlet 42. Both the first and second water guide channels 44 and 45 are located at the top near the clean water tank 43, enabling precise control of the liquid flow inside the cleaning unit 40. The first water guide channel 44 receives water from the top of the clean water tank 43, ensuring the tank is filled to the maximum extent possible while minimizing resistance during water filling. The second water guide channel 45 exits water from the top of the clean water tank 43, ensuring the tank is filled to the maximum extent possible, thus reducing the need for frequent water refills and maintaining the cleaning unit 40's operating efficiency.

[0065] Further, see Figure 2 , Figure 6 as well as Figure 7As shown, the cleaning host 40 is also equipped with a water outlet (not shown in the figure), a water injection valve 46, a drain valve 47, and an air pump (not shown in the figure). The water outlet is connected to the clean water box 43. The water injection valve 46 is located at the water injection port 41, and the drain valve 47 is located at the drain port 42. The air pump is connected to the clean water box 43 to at least apply positive pressure to the clean water box 43. When the clean water box 43 needs to be injected with liquid, the first pipe connector 16 of the base station 100 is connected to the water injection port 41 to open the water injection valve 46 to deliver liquid to the clean water box 43. The second pipe connector 17 of the base station 100 is connected to the drain port 42 to open the drain valve 47 to deliver liquid to the cleaning tank 121 of the base station 100. When the cleaning host 40 is performing cleaning work, both the water injection valve 46 and the drain valve 47 are closed, and the air pump applies positive pressure to the clean water box 43 so that the liquid in the clean water box 43 is discharged from the water outlet.

[0066] Specifically, the water outlet is connected to the clean water box 43, allowing water from the clean water box 43 to be delivered to the mop and other structures of the cleaning host 40 through the water outlet, thus assisting the cleaning host 40 in better completing the cleaning work. A water inlet valve 46 is located at the water inlet 41, allowing the cleaning host 40 to open or close the water inlet 41. A drain valve 47 is located at the drain outlet 42, allowing the cleaning host 40 to open or close the drain outlet 42 according to its own work needs, thus enabling the cleaning host 40 to open or close the water inlet 41 and drain outlet 42 as needed to adapt to different work requirements. When the clean water box 43 needs to be filled with liquid, the cleaning host 40 cooperates with the base station 100. During this process, the first pipe connector 16 of the base station 100 can be inserted into the water inlet 41 and open the water inlet valve 46. At this time, the base station 100 can deliver liquid to the clean water box 43, ensuring the cleaning host 40 has sufficient water for cleaning. Meanwhile, the second pipe connector 17 of the base station 100 can be inserted into the drain outlet 42 and open the drain valve 47. Since the end of the second pipe connector 17 away from the drain outlet 42 is connected to the cleaning tank 121 of the base station 100, a portion of the water supplied by the base station 100 to the cleaning host 40 can be guided into the cleaning tank 121 through the drain outlet 42, so that the cleaning tank 121 has water to clean the mop and other structures of the cleaning host 40. When the cleaning host 40 is performing cleaning work (when the cleaning host 40 leaves the base station 100 to perform cleaning tasks), both the water inlet valve 46 and the drain valve 47 are closed. This can prevent water in the clean water box 43 from leaking from the water inlet 41 and the drain outlet 42, and can also create a sealed environment inside the clean water box 43. This allows the air pump to more easily discharge the water in the clean water box 43 from the outlet when applying positive pressure to the clean water box 43, thereby enabling the cleaning host 40 to complete the cleaning work better.

[0067] It is understandable that during the process of the base station 100 filling the cleaning tank 121 and the clean water box 43 of the cleaning host 40 with water, although the water level in the clean water box 43 is not high enough to flow out from the second water guide channel 45, the drain outlet 42 is always open during this process. In the early stage of the base station 100 filling the clean water box 43 with water, the drain outlet 42 can play the role of venting, which can ensure that the clean water box 43 can be filled with water as much as possible, and can also reduce the resistance encountered by the first water guide channel 44 when filling the clean water box 43 with water. In the later stage of the base station 100 filling the cleaning tank 121 with water, the drain outlet 42 plays the role of connecting the second water guide channel 45 and the second channel 22, so that some of the water coming out of the clean water tank 11 can reach the cleaning tank 121 through the cleaning host 40 for subsequent cleaning operations such as cleaning the cleaning host 40. Furthermore, in the actual manufacturing of the base station of this application, the pumping volume of the pumping device 13 can be reasonably controlled as needed, so that regardless of whether the water box 43 is empty or full, the amount of water pumped by the pumping device 13 from the water tank 11 can meet the requirements of filling the water box 43 with water and obtaining water from the cleaning tank 121 so that the cleaning tank 121 can complete the cleaning work.

[0068] As can be seen from the above description, the embodiments of this utility model achieve the following technical effects:

[0069] (1) The base station can be filled with water for cleaning host and cleaning tank through a waterway, without the need for extra waterways and solenoid valves, making the base station structure simpler and easier to maintain.

[0070] (2) The use of solenoid valves is reduced, saving the procurement and maintenance costs of solenoid valves used in previous base stations, which can save costs.

[0071] (3) By setting the air outlet of the fan at the bottom of the base station, the bottom of the base station is cleaned, the bottom of the base station is dried and cleaned, and the noise of the air outlet is reduced.

[0072] (4) It prevents the air from the fan outlet from damaging the wall and protects the wall.

[0073] (5) The drain outlet can both vent air and drain water, avoiding the need to set up a separate drain outlet for venting the cleaning unit. This not only simplifies the structure of the cleaning unit but also reduces the manufacturing cost of the cleaning unit.

[0074] For ease of description, spatial relative terms such as "above," "on top of," "on the upper surface of," "above," etc., are used herein to describe the spatial positional relationship of a device or feature as shown in the figures to other devices or features. It should be understood that spatial relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations in use or operation beyond the orientation of the device as described in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures were inverted, a device described as "above" or "on top of" other devices or structures would subsequently be positioned as "below" or "under" other devices or structures. Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both "above" and "below." The device may also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatial relative descriptions used herein will be interpreted accordingly.

[0075] Furthermore, it should be noted that the use of terms such as "first" and "second" to define components is merely for the purpose of distinguishing the corresponding components. Unless otherwise stated, the above terms have no special meaning and therefore cannot be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model.

Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
