[0033] The advantages of this application, which differ from existing technologies, are:

[0034] The base of this application has a clamping part with a slot that matches the cleaning equipment, and a buckle section is provided at the opening on the inner wall of the slot. In its natural state, the buckle section extends into the slot and engages with the limiting groove of the cleaning equipment to lock the cleaning equipment horizontally, effectively preventing the cleaning equipment from being accidentally knocked over. At the same time, the buckle section can retract into the opening under the action of vertical driving force, and the user can unlock it by gently pressing or lifting the cleaning equipment, which effectively simplifies the user operation and improves the user experience.

[0035] The base of this application has a height-adjustable support surface. When the user lightly presses the cleaning device, the support surface lowers simultaneously, providing space for the cleaning device to descend and facilitating unlocking by the user. Simultaneously, when placing the cleaning device on the base, the user can tilt and push it into the support surface. Under the tilting force, the support surface moves downward, and simultaneously, the cleaning device presses the buckle into the opening during its movement. After the cleaning device reaches its position, the support surface resets, causing the cleaning device to move upward. The reset buckle engages with the limiting groove to lock the cleaning device, effectively simplifying user operation and improving the user experience.

[0036] The base of this application is provided with a second guide surface, through which the user can push the cleaning device into the bearing surface of the base. At the same time, the second guide surface is provided with guide wheels to reduce the pushing resistance, effectively simplify the user operation and improve the user experience.

[0037] The base of this application is equipped with suction cups and anti-slip pads on its bottom surface to prevent the base from shaking when the user pushes in the cleaning equipment, thereby improving the user experience.

[0038] The cleaning device of this application has a flexible telescopic feature, which allows the distance between the limiting groove and the floor brush to be adjusted. When the user lightly presses the cleaning device, the limiting groove can be lowered, making it easy for the user to unlock the device by lightly pressing it. At the same time, when the user places the cleaning device into the base, the cleaning device can be tilted and pushed into the bearing surface of the base. Under the action of the tilting thrust, the limiting groove lowers. During the movement of the cleaning device, the buckle section is pressed into the opening. After the cleaning device moves into place, the limiting groove and the buckle section reset and lock together, which can realize the automatic locking of the cleaning device, effectively simplifying the user operation and improving the user experience.

[0039] The cleaning device of this application can be unlocked from the base by pressing or lifting lightly. When placing the cleaning device on the base, the user can push the cleaning device into the base to lock it automatically, or lift the cleaning device to a certain height and then put it in to lock it. This meets the needs of users who are not familiar with the operation and helps to improve the user experience. Attached Figure Description

[0058] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions in this disclosure, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this disclosure, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of this disclosure.

[0059] To facilitate users in storing, charging, or self-cleaning cleaning equipment such as vacuum cleaners and floor scrubbers after cleaning, they are usually designed with a base that matches the cleaning equipment. Users can transfer the cleaning equipment to the base for storage, charging, or self-cleaning.

[0060] To ensure cleaning equipment remains upright when placed in its base and prevent accidental tipping, it is typically equipped with a stand. Traditional stands are quite tall; once placed in position, the equipment is secured by engaging the dust collection section's ground-facing end. However, this engagement surface is quite high, usually between 1 and 1.5 meters above the ground. Furthermore, to prevent accidental tipping, the engagement surface often features a raised barrier, and the entire vacuum cleaner is off the ground when stowed. Therefore, using a traditional stand requires lifting the equipment significantly and manually aligning it before placing it on the stand. Removing the equipment also requires lifting it from the stand. Given the weight of the equipment, this makes lifting and removing it cumbersome and negatively impacts the user experience.

[0061] To address the aforementioned issues, the applicant has developed a storage system comprising a mating base and a cleaning device. The base has a slot that matches the cleaning device, and a locking part is provided on the base. The locking part has a buckle section that can extend into the slot. The cleaning device has a limiting groove that matches the buckle section, and the limiting groove and the buckle section can move relative to each other in a first direction.

[0062] Specifically, the limiting groove and the buckle section can work together to hold the cleaning device in place, preventing the cleaning device from being accidentally knocked over. When the cleaning device is subjected to a driving force applied by the user that is parallel to or inclined relative to the first direction, the limiting groove and the buckle section can move relative to each other along the first direction. At this time, the buckle section is subjected to a driving force along the first direction applied by the groove wall of the limiting groove. Under the action of this driving force, the buckle section can be completely or partially retracted into the groove wall of the card slot, completing the unlocking operation of the cleaning device and allowing the cleaning device to be taken out from the card slot.

[0063] Based on the structural design of the base and cleaning equipment, users only need to gently press or pull the cleaning equipment in a direction parallel to or at a certain angle relative to the first direction to press the buckle into the slot wall, thereby unlocking the cleaning equipment. At the same time, when the cleaning equipment is placed on the base, the buckle can automatically lock with the limiting slot of the cleaning equipment. This effectively simplifies the user's operation of picking up and placing the cleaning equipment, and improves the user experience, while preventing the cleaning equipment from being accidentally knocked over.

[0064] The following details the process; please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of one embodiment of the base of this application. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of one embodiment of the base and cleaning equipment in conjunction with the present application.

[0065] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the cleaning device 2 includes a floor brush 20, a connector 21, and a body 22 connected in sequence. The body 22 is rotatably connected to the floor brush 20 through the connector 21.

[0066] The floor brush 20 is used to contact the surface to be cleaned. The connector 21 is rotatably connected to the floor brush 20, and the body 22 is connected to the connector 21. The tilt angle of the body 22 can be adjusted by rotating the connector 21 relative to the floor brush 20. The body 22 includes a connecting rod 221 and a handheld part 222 connected in sequence. An air duct is formed inside the connecting rod 221 to introduce dust and other materials generated during the cleaning process of the floor brush 20 into the handheld part 222. The user can manually push the floor brush 20 forward or backward and control the tilt angle of the body 22 by holding the handheld part 222, so that the user can operate the floor brush 20 to clean different parts of the surface to be cleaned.

[0067] The base 1 includes a seat 10 and a clamping part 11, wherein the seat 10 has a receiving cavity 101 for accommodating the floor brush 20 of the cleaning device 2.

[0068] The clamping part 11 is arranged on the base part 10. The clamping part 11 has a slot 111 that matches the connecting rod 221 of the cleaning device 2. The slot 111 extends along the first direction z, and the slot wall of the slot 111 is provided with an opening 112. The opening 112 penetrates the slot wall of the slot 111 so that the opening 112 can connect the space inside and outside the slot of the slot 111.

[0069] In this embodiment, the clamping part 11 is arranged on one side of the top surface of the seat part 10 and is integrally formed with the seat part 10. In other embodiments, the clamping part 11 can also be arranged at other positions of the seat part 10. For example, the clamping part 11 can also be arranged on the side of the seat part 10 and extend vertically to the top of the seat part 10. The clamping part 11 can also be designed separately from the seat part 10. All of these can achieve the effect of this embodiment.

[0070] The clamping part 11 is provided with a locking part 13, which includes a fastener 131. The fastener 131 includes a buckle section 1311 corresponding to the opening 112. The buckle section 1311 has a first posture in which it protrudes from the groove wall of the slot 111 in a natural state, and a second posture in which it is embedded in the opening 112.

[0071] The buckle section 1311 can switch from a first posture to a second posture under the action of a driving force along the first direction z, and can maintain the first posture under the action of a driving force along the second direction y, wherein the second direction y is the tangential direction of the groove wall of the slot 111 at the opening 112.

[0072] The connecting rod 221 of the cleaning device 2 is provided with a limiting groove 223 that matches the buckle section 1311. Figure 1 and Figure 2 (not shown in the image), and the limiting groove 223 of the cleaning device 2 can move relative to the buckle section 1311 along the first direction z.

[0073] Understandably, when the connecting rod 221 of the cleaning device 2 is held by the slot 111, the buckle section 1311 in the first posture can extend into the limiting groove 223, thereby locking the cleaning device 2 in the horizontal direction and effectively preventing accidental tipping. When removing the cleaning device 2, the user can apply a driving force to the cleaning device 2 in a direction parallel to or inclined relative to the first direction z. Under the action of this driving force, the limiting groove 223 can move relative to the buckle section 1311 along the first direction z. During the movement... When the buckle segment 1311 is subjected to a force along the first direction z by the wall of the limiting groove 223, the buckle segment 1311 can be driven to switch from the first posture to the second posture, thus completing the unlocking operation of the cleaning device 2. When the cleaning device 2 is placed on the base 1, the buckle segment 1311 is subjected to the pressure of the cleaning device 2 and switches from the first posture to the second posture. When the cleaning device 2 is placed in place, the buckle segment 1311 returns to the first posture and engages with the limiting groove 223 to lock the cleaning device 2 in the horizontal direction, effectively simplifying the user operation.

[0074] In this embodiment, the first direction z is the vertical direction. In other embodiments, the first direction z can also be a direction that is relatively inclined to the vertical direction. In some scenarios, the first direction described in this embodiment can also be a direction with an angle ranging from 0° to 30° to the vertical direction, such as 1°, 5°, 8°, 11°, 16°, 20°, and 25°. Of course, it is best to set the angle in accordance with the user's force habits. This design will not affect the normal use of the device. On the contrary, because it has a certain angle, it is more in line with the user's force habits. At this time, the connecting rod 221 of the cleaning device 2 can be clamped and limited in the slot 111 of the clamping part 11 in a relatively inclined posture, which can achieve the effect of this embodiment.

[0075] In addition, it should be noted that the force applied by the user to unlock the cleaning device in this embodiment can be parallel to the first direction z, or it can form a certain angle with respect to the first direction z, such as 10°, 20°, etc., which can drive the limiting groove 223 and the buckle section 1311 to move relative to each other along the first direction z, which is more in line with the user's usage habits.

[0076] Specifically, in some application scenarios, the slot 111 does not perfectly match the shape of the connecting rod 221. The connecting rod 221 has a certain amount of movement space inside the slot 111. At this time, under the force applied by the user to unlock the cleaning device, the limiting groove 223 can move relative to the buckle section 1311 in a direction slightly inclined relative to the first direction z. At this time, the buckle section 1311 is driven by a force in a direction slightly inclined relative to the first direction z, and the buckle section 1311 can also switch from the first posture to the second posture to complete the unlocking operation of the cleaning device 2.

[0077] In this embodiment, the floor brush 20 is housed in the receiving cavity 101, and the bottom of the connecting rod 221 is held and fixed by the clamping part 11. In other embodiments, other parts of the cleaning device 2 may be held and fixed by the clamping part 11, such as the connector 21 or the hand-held part 222. Alternatively, the clamping part 11 may hold other positions of the connecting rod 221, such as the top or middle of the connecting rod 221. Or, the clamping part 11 may hold the bottom and top of the connecting rod 221 at the same time. The effect of this embodiment can be achieved by adjusting the height of the clamping part 11, the position of the buckle section 1311 and the opening 112, and the position and number of the matching limiting grooves 223 on the cleaning device 2.

[0078] The structure of the locking part 13 of this application is described in detail below. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 3 and Figure 4 , Figure 3 This is a horizontal cross-sectional view of an embodiment of the locking part and the cleaning equipment in their first mating state. Figure 4 This is a horizontal cross-sectional view of an embodiment of the second mating state of the locking part and the cleaning equipment in this application.

[0079] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the clamping part 11 is hollow inside and has a mounting cavity 113 that communicates with the opening 112, and the locking part 13 is arranged in the mounting cavity 113.

[0080] Specifically, the locking part 13 also includes an elastic member 132 disposed between the clamping part 11 and the fastener 131, the elastic member 132 being used to extend the driving buckle head section 1311 out of the opening 112.

[0081] Understandably, under the elastic force of the elastic element 132, when the driving force along the first direction z is removed, the buckle section 1311 can automatically reset to the first posture, thereby achieving the clamping of the cleaning device 2.

[0082] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the elastic element 132 is a tension spring arranged between the outer cavity wall of the mounting cavity 113 and the fastener 131. When the buckle section 1311 switches from the first posture to the second posture, the elastic element 132 is stretched. When the driving force is removed, the buckle section 1311 can automatically return to the first posture under the tension of the elastic element 132. In other embodiments, the elastic element 132 can also be a compression spring arranged between the inner cavity wall of the mounting cavity 113 and the fastener 131. When the buckle section 1311 switches from the first posture to the second posture, the elastic element 132 is compressed, which can also achieve the effect of this embodiment.

[0083] Furthermore, such as Figure 3As shown, in this embodiment, the buckle section 1311 has a blocking surface 1312 arranged at its inner end in the second direction y. The blocking surface 1312 is distributed perpendicularly to the second direction y. Therefore, when subjected to an outward driving force along the second direction y, the buckle section 1311 can maintain the first posture, realize the horizontal locking of the cleaning device 2, and avoid accidental tipping.

[0084] In other embodiments, the outer end face or both end faces of the buckle segment 1311 in the second direction y may be provided with blocking surfaces 1312 that are perpendicular to the second direction y. Alternatively, the blocking surfaces 1312 may not be perpendicular to the second direction y. For example, the blocking surfaces 1312 may be set slightly inclined to the second direction y, which can also achieve the effect of this embodiment to a certain extent.

[0085] To ensure the stability of the fastener 131's movement, the locking part 13 in this embodiment also includes a rotating support member. Specifically, in this embodiment, the rotating support member 133 is a rotating shaft 133. One end of the fastener 131 is mounted on the rotating shaft 133 and can be rotated around the rotating shaft 133. When subjected to a driving force in the first direction z, the fastener 131 can rotate around the rotating shaft 133, thereby realizing the switching of the buckle head section 1311 between the first posture and the second posture.

[0086] It should be noted that in other embodiments, the rotating support member can also be other components that can achieve this function, such as ball joints, slewing bearings, etc. Alternatively, the locking part 13 can omit the rotating shaft 133, and the fastener 131 can also not rotate under the action of driving force. It is sufficient to realize the switching of the buckle head section 1311 between the first posture and the second posture, all of which can achieve the effect of this embodiment.

[0087] For example, please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 5 This is a horizontal cross-sectional view of another embodiment of the base and cleaning equipment in their first mating state, as described in this application. Figure 5 As shown, the fastener 131 can also be radially translated along the slot 111 under the action of driving force, which can also achieve the effect of this embodiment.

[0088] In addition, in this embodiment, the locking part 13 is arranged inside the clamping part 11. In other embodiments, the clamping part 11 may not adopt an internal hollow design, and the locking part 13 may be directly installed on the outer wall of the clamping part 11. For example, the rotating support member may be arranged on the outer wall of the clamping part 11, the fastener 131 is connected to the rotating support member, and the elastic member 132 is arranged between the fastener 131 and the outer wall of the clamping part 11, which can also achieve the effect of this embodiment.

[0089] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, in this embodiment, the locking part 13 includes two sets of fasteners 131 arranged symmetrically. Each set includes two fasteners 131 arranged at intervals along the first direction z. The two fasteners 131 are respectively set at the upper end and lower end of the groove wall of the slot 111, thereby ensuring the holding stability of the cleaning device 2.

[0090] In this embodiment, the second direction y is parallel to the opening direction of the receiving cavity 101, and the two sets of fasteners 131 are distributed at 180° on both sides of the opening of the slot 111, so that the clamping direction of the fasteners 131 can be distributed perpendicular to the opening direction of the receiving cavity 101.

[0091] Understandably, the cleaning device 2 can be pushed into the receiving cavity 101 through the opening of the receiving cavity 101. Therefore, the opening direction of the receiving cavity 101 is the pushing direction of the cleaning device 2. The perpendicular distribution of the clamping direction to the pushing direction of the cleaning device 2 can significantly improve the clamping stability of the cleaning device 2.

[0092] In other embodiments, the number and arrangement of fasteners 131 can be adjusted according to actual needs to achieve the clamping and fixing of the cleaning equipment 2, and all of these can achieve the effect of this embodiment.

[0093] The structure of the buckle segment 1311 in this application is described in detail below. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 6 and Figure 7 , Figure 6 This is a vertical cross-sectional view of an embodiment of the base and cleaning equipment in their first mating state. Figure 7 yes Figure 6 A magnified view of part A in the diagram.

[0094] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the buckle section 1311 has a first guide surface 1313 at both ends in the first direction z. The first guide surface 1313 is inclined relative to the first direction z so that when the buckle section 1311 is in the first posture, the extension length of the buckle section 1311 in the first direction z gradually decreases along the groove wall direction away from the slot 111.

[0095] Understandably, when the buckle section 1311 is in the first posture, the first direction z driving force acting on the first guide surface 1313 can generate a component force perpendicular to the groove wall of the slot 111, thereby pressing the buckle section 1311 into the opening 112 and switching to the second posture.

[0096] Specifically, when the buckle segment 1311 is driven by a downward driving force in the first direction z, the first guide surface 1313 at the top of the buckle segment 1311 is pressed, generating a component force perpendicular to the wall of the slot 111; when the buckle segment 1311 is driven by an upward driving force in the first direction z, the first guide surface 1313 at the bottom of the buckle segment 1311 is pressed, generating a component force perpendicular to the wall of the slot 111. Therefore, in this embodiment, the user can unlock the cleaning device 2 horizontally by lightly pressing and lifting it.

[0097] Of course, in other embodiments, the first guide surface 1313 may be arranged only at the top end of the buckle section 1311, or only at the bottom end of the buckle section 1311. Accordingly, the user can lightly press the cleaning device 2 to unlock and lightly lift the cleaning device 2 to unlock, which can also achieve the effect of this embodiment to a certain extent.

[0098] In addition, in this embodiment, the first guide surface 1313 is an overall inclined plane. In other embodiments, the first guide surface 1313 may only be partially inclined relative to the z-axis, ensuring that the pressure-bearing area of ​​the first guide surface 1313 is inclined relative to the z-axis. Alternatively, the first guide surface 1313 may also be an arc surface. For an example, please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 8 , Figure 8 This is a structural schematic diagram of one embodiment of the fastener and limiting groove of this application, as shown below. Figure 8 As shown, the buckle section 1311 can be a latch-type structure with one side being curved and the other side being flat, which can also achieve the effect of this embodiment.

[0099] In order to increase the pressure-bearing area of ​​the first guide surface 1313 and improve the motion stability, in this embodiment, the groove walls at both ends of the limiting groove 223 of the cleaning device 2 in the first direction z are arranged with third guide surfaces 2231 that match the first guide surface 1313, so that the diameter of the limiting groove 223 gradually increases in the direction away from the bottom of the groove.

[0100] In other embodiments, the groove wall of the limiting groove 223 may not have a third guide surface 2231. For example, please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 9 , Figure 9 This is a structural schematic diagram of another embodiment of the fastener and limiting groove of this application, as shown below. Figure 9 As shown, the groove walls at both ends of the limiting groove 223 in the first direction z can be distributed perpendicularly to the first direction z, and the attitude switching of the buckle section 1311 can also be achieved through the action of the first guide surface 1313.

[0101] In particular, in some embodiments, the top and bottom ends of the buckle section 1311 may not be provided with inclined first guide surfaces 1313. By designing the limiting groove 223 of the cleaning device 2, the purpose of unlocking can also be achieved by driving force in the first direction z.

[0102] Please see Figure 10 , Figure 10 This is a structural schematic diagram of another embodiment of the fastener and limiting groove in this application. (See diagram below.) Figure 10 As shown, in this embodiment, the top and bottom of the buckle section 1311 are both designed in a horizontal plane. The top and bottom walls of the limiting groove 223 are provided with a third guide surface 2231. When the buckle section 1311 is subjected to pressure from the third guide surface 2231, it can also generate a component force perpendicular to the groove wall of the slot 111, thereby realizing the state switching of the buckle section 1311.

[0103] Understandably, in this embodiment, since the top and bottom walls of the limiting groove 223 are both inclined third guide surfaces 2231, the user can unlock the cleaning device 2 in the horizontal direction by gently pressing and lifting it.

[0104] In other embodiments, the third guide surface 2231 may be arranged only at the top end of the slot 223, or only at the bottom end of the slot 223; accordingly, the user can lightly press the cleaning device 2 to unlock and lightly lift the cleaning device 2 to unlock, which can also achieve the effect of this embodiment to a certain extent.

[0105] Please see Figure 11 , Figure 11 This is a structural schematic diagram of another embodiment of the fastener and limiting groove in this application. (See diagram below.) Figure 11 As shown, in this embodiment, the top and bottom ends of the buckle section 1311 and the top and bottom groove walls of the limiting groove 223 are all designed in a horizontal plane. The extension length of the limiting groove 223 in the first direction z is greater than the extension length of the buckle section 1311 in the first direction z. The bottom of the limiting groove 223 is inclined relative to the length direction of the body 22 so that the depth of the limiting groove 223 gradually decreases along the direction pointing to the ground brush 20.

[0106] In this embodiment, the buckle segment 1311 can move within the limiting groove 223. The bottom of the limiting groove 223 is in contact with the buckle segment 1311. Since the bottom of the limiting groove 223 is inclined, when the limiting groove 223 and the buckle segment 1311 move relative to each other along the first direction z, the buckle segment 1311 is subjected to the pressure of the bottom of the limiting groove 223, which enables the buckle segment 1311 to switch between the first posture and the second posture.

[0107] Specifically, in this embodiment, the depth of the limiting groove 223 gradually decreases along the direction pointing to the floor brush 20. Therefore, when the cleaning device 2 is lifted, the buckle section 1311 can be pressed into the opening 112, and the user can lift the cleaning device 2 to unlock it. Correspondingly, in other embodiments, the depth of the limiting groove 223 can also gradually increase along the direction pointing to the floor brush 20. In this case, when the cleaning device 2 is pressed down, the buckle section 1311 can be pressed into the opening 112, and the user can press down the cleaning device 2 to unlock it.

[0108] When the cleaning device 2 is held in place by the base 1, in order to allow the limiting groove 223 of the cleaning device 2 to move relative to the buckle section 1311 along the first direction z, in this embodiment, the bearing surface 1031 of the base 1 for supporting the cleaning device 2 is adjustable in height. Please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 12 , Figure 12 This is an exploded structural diagram of one embodiment of the base of this application.

[0109] like Figure 12 As shown, in this embodiment, the base 1 includes a base shell 102 and a tray 103 arranged on the base shell 102. The tray 103 has a bearing surface 1031 for bearing the floor brush 20 of the cleaning equipment 2. An elastic support member 104 is also arranged between the tray 103 and the base shell 102, so that the tray 103 can be raised and lowered, and has a large first height and a small second height.

[0110] Specifically, in this embodiment, the elastic support 104 includes a support block 1041 and a torsion spring 1042. The support block 1041 can be installed on the surface of the bottom shell 102, and the two ends of the torsion spring 1042 are respectively connected to the support block 1041 and the tray 103 to achieve elastic support. In other embodiments, the elastic support 104 can also be any elastic structure commonly used in the art, such as a helical spring, a pneumatic support rod, etc., all of which can achieve the effect of this embodiment.

[0111] When the tray 103 is at the first height, the limiting groove 223 of the cleaning device 2 located on the bearing surface 1031 can correspond to the position of the buckle section 1311; and when the tray 103 is switched from the first height to the second height, the groove wall of the limiting groove 223 can press the buckle section 1311 into the opening 112 to unlock.

[0112] Understandably, when a user needs to remove the cleaning device 2 from the base 1, the user can press down on the cleaning device 2. The driving force can be transmitted to the tray 103, controlling the cleaning device 2 and the tray 103 to descend, thereby unlocking the cleaning device 2 from the clamping part 11. In particular, by controlling the elasticity of the elastic support 104 to improve the sensitivity of the tray 103's lifting and lowering, the user's relaxed arm can lower the tray 103 simply by touching the cleaning device 2, achieving the purpose of seamless unlocking and significantly improving the user experience.

[0113] When the user needs to place the cleaning device 2 on the base 1, the user can tilt and push the body 22 of the cleaning device 2 onto the bearing surface 1031. Under the user's tilting force, the tray 103 can be lowered. Then the user can push the body 22 into the slot 111. During the rotation of the body 22, the buckle section 1311 can be pressed into the opening 112. After the user releases his hand, the cleaning device 2 moves upward under the action of the elastic support 104. The buckle section 1311 extends out and is locked into the limiting groove 223, realizing the horizontal locking of the cleaning device 2 and achieving the purpose of seamless locking, which significantly improves the user experience.

[0114] In particular, in this embodiment, when the user takes out the cleaning device 2, they can lift the cleaning device 2 upwards. When placing the cleaning device 2 on the base 1, they can also lift the cleaning device 2 to a certain height before placing it in, thus accommodating the needs of users who are not familiar with the operation.

[0115] It should be noted that this embodiment only illustrates the technical solution of the tray 103 being height-adjustable. In other embodiments, other parts of the base 1 can also be height-adjustable, as long as they can provide space for the cleaning device 2 to descend and unlock. For example, the seat 10 of the base 1 can also only include the bottom shell 102. The bearing surface 1031 for bearing the cleaning device 2 can be directly arranged on the bottom shell 102. An elastic support member 104 can be arranged between the bottom surface of the bottom shell 102 and the plane where the base 1 is located, which can also achieve the effect of this embodiment.

[0116] In addition, in this embodiment, the second height is smaller than the first height, and the user can unlock the cleaning device 2 horizontally by lightly pressing it. In other embodiments, the second height can also be larger than the first height. In this case, when the user takes the cleaning device 2 off the base 1, the user can lift the cleaning device 2 lightly to unlock it. At this time, the tray 103 will synchronously return to the second height under the elastic force of the elastic support 104, which plays an auxiliary role in saving effort. When the user needs to put the cleaning device 2 into the base 1, the cleaning device 2 needs to be lifted to a certain height to put it in, which can also achieve the effect of this embodiment to a certain extent.

[0117] In the above embodiments, the lifting design of the bearing surface 1031 of the base 1 provides space for the cleaning device 2 to descend in the locked state, so that the user can lightly press the cleaning device 2 to unlock it; in other embodiments, the height of the bearing surface 1031 of the base 1 can also be kept fixed, and the limit groove 223 can be raised and lowered by the elastic telescopic design of the cleaning device 2, which can also achieve the effect of this embodiment.

[0118] Specifically, in one embodiment, the connection end between the floor brush 20 and the connector 21 can be raised and lowered. In this case, the pressure of the downward cleaning device 2 can be transmitted to the floor brush 20, and the top of the floor brush 20 is controlled to descend to provide space for the limiting groove 223 to descend, thereby realizing downward unlocking.

[0119] In specific implementation, the top shell of the floor brush 20 can be connected to other shells through an elastic mechanism, and the top shell can be connected to the connector 21. Alternatively, other structures of the floor brush 20 can be elastically raised and lowered, as long as the top of the brush can be raised and lowered. Both methods can achieve the effect of this embodiment.

[0120] In another embodiment, the connector 21 can be elastically extended and retracted along its extension direction. In this case, the pressure of the cleaning device 2 can be transmitted to the connector 21 and control the connector 21 to contract to give the limiting groove 223 room to descend, thereby realizing the pressure unlocking.

[0121] In specific implementation, the connector 21 can adopt any telescopic structure commonly used in the field, such as a telescopic tube structure like an organ pipe, all of which can achieve the effect of this embodiment.

[0122] In another embodiment, the body 22 itself may include an elastic retractable section. The elastic retractable section can elastically extend and retract along its extension direction, and the elastic retractable section is located between the limiting groove 223 and the connector 21. In this case, the pressure of the pressing cleaning device 2 can be transmitted to the elastic retractable section and control the elastic retractable section to contract to give the limiting groove 223 room to descend, thereby realizing the pressing unlock.

[0123] In practical implementation, the elastic telescopic section can adopt any telescopic structure commonly used in the field, such as a telescopic sleeve, which can achieve the effect of this embodiment.

[0124] Based on the structure of the base 1 and cleaning device 2 in the above embodiments, the user can achieve seamless locking of the cleaning device 2 when placing it on the base 1, and seamless unlocking of the cleaning device 2 when removing it from the base 1, which significantly improves the user experience while preventing the cleaning device 2 from being accidentally knocked over.

[0125] Please continue reading Figure 1In order to allow the user to directly push the cleaning device 2 into the receiving cavity 101, the seat 10 in this embodiment also includes a second guide surface 1021. One end of the second guide surface 1021 is connected to the bearing surface 1031, and the other end extends obliquely to the plane where the base 1 is located.

[0126] Understandably, the user can push the cleaning device 2 directly into the bearing surface 1031 from the plane of the base 1 via the second guide surface 1021.

[0127] Because an angle is formed between the second guide surface 1021 and the bearing surface 1031, when the cleaning device 2 passes through this angled area, the floor brush 20 of the cleaning device 2 will experience a large scraping friction force, resulting in greater pushing resistance. To reduce pushing resistance, please refer to... Figure 13 , Figure 13 yes Figure 1 A magnified view of part B in the diagram, as shown below. Figure 1 and Figure 12 As shown, in this embodiment, a guide wheel 1022 is arranged at one end of the second guide surface 1021 near the bearing surface 1031, and the guide wheel 1022 guides along the direction of the second guide surface 1021 toward the bearing surface 1031.

[0128] Understandably, the guide wheel 1022 can abut against the bottom of the floor brush 20 of the cleaning device 2, thereby supporting the floor brush 20 to slide onto the bearing surface 1031, effectively reducing the pushing resistance of the cleaning device 2 and significantly improving the user experience.

[0129] In other embodiments, the guide wheel 1022 can also be arranged at other positions on the second guide surface 1021, which can also reduce the pushing resistance of the cleaning device 2 to a certain extent.

[0130] Furthermore, to prevent the base 1 from moving during the user's insertion of the cleaning device 2 in extreme cases, please refer to [link / reference needed]. Figure 14 , Figure 14 This is a schematic diagram of another perspective of one embodiment of the base of this application.

[0131] like Figure 14 As shown, in this embodiment, a suction cup 1023 is also arranged on the bottom surface of the base 1's seat portion 10. The suction cup 1023 can firmly fix the seat portion 10 to the plane where the base 1 is located, thereby preventing the base 1 from shaking.

[0132] Furthermore, the bottom surface of the base 10 is also provided with multiple foot pads 1024. The foot pads 1024 serve as the main force support to prevent the suction cup 1023 from being subjected to excessive force, resulting in large elastic deformation and causing the base 1 to shake.
