Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of cleaning equipment technology, and in particular to a pipeline switching component, cleaning equipment and cleaning system. Background Technology

[0002] With the advancement of technology, people's requirements for ground cleaning tools have gradually increased, and cleaning robots have become commonly used cleaning devices. Cleaning robots are used in conjunction with cleaning base stations. In related technologies, the cleaning base station is equipped with a water channel structure and a water channel reversing device connected to the water channel structure. The structure of the water channel reversing device is relatively complex, and the sealing reliability of the water channel reversing device is poor. If the water flow pressure in the water channel structure is high, the water channel reversing device is prone to leakage when sealing. Utility Model Content

[0003] This application provides a pipeline switching component, a cleaning device, and a cleaning system, which can improve the sealing reliability of the pipeline switching component.

[0004] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a pipeline on / off assembly applied to a cleaning device. The cleaning device includes a device body and a pipeline assembly, the pipeline assembly being disposed on the device body. The pipeline assembly includes at least a first pipeline, the first pipeline including a first flexible hose. The pipeline on / off assembly includes: The mounting body and the pressing body are provided on the mounting body and the mounting body is movably provided on the equipment body so that the pressing body can detachably press against the first elastic hose; The pressing body includes at least two pressing members, which are spaced apart on the mounting body. The mounting body has at least a first position and a second position on its movement path. When the mounting body is in the first position, the at least two pressing members press against the first elastic hose to block the first pipeline. When the mounting body is in the second position, the at least two pressing members separate from the first elastic hose to open the first pipeline.

[0005] Secondly, embodiments of this application also provide a cleaning device, including a device body, a pipeline assembly, and a pipeline switching assembly as described in the above embodiments. The pipeline assembly is disposed on the device body, and the pipeline assembly includes at least a first pipeline, the first pipeline including a first elastic hose. The pipeline switching assembly is movably disposed on the device body to press against the first elastic hose.

[0006] Thirdly, this application also provides a cleaning system, including a cleaning robot and the cleaning equipment as described in the above embodiments. The cleaning robot is used to clean the surface to be cleaned and connects to the cleaning equipment through the pipeline switching component to perform self-cleaning and water supply and drainage.

[0007] Based on the pipeline switching component, cleaning equipment, and cleaning system in this application embodiment, this embodiment provides at least two pressure-blocking members on the pressure-blocking body, so that when the pressure-blocking body presses against the first elastic hose, at least two pressure-blocking members press against the first elastic hose, which can improve the force between the pressure-blocking body and the first pipeline. At the same time, this embodiment uses at least two pressure-blocking members to jointly press against the first elastic hose, and the at least two pressure-blocking members are spaced apart, so that a section of water flow can be retained in the part of the first elastic hose between the two pressure-blocking members to form water pressure between the two pressure-blocking members. This makes both sides of the two pressure-blocking members have water pressure, thereby achieving water pressure balance on both sides of the pressure-blocking members, preventing the pressure-blocking members from being washed away by the water flow, and thus improving the sealing reliability of the pipeline switching component.

[0011] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application or related technologies, a clear and complete description will be provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0012] During operation, the cleaning robot generates wastewater that enters its own wastewater box. When it returns to the base station to rinse the mop, it also generates wastewater that is stored in the base station's wastewater tank. The base station then collects the wastewater from both the wastewater box and the tank into its wastewater collection tank for centralized treatment. Therefore, in related technologies, the cleaning base station is equipped with a water system structure and a water flow switching device connected to this structure. This water flow switching device is complex in design, occupies a large amount of space, and has poor sealing reliability. If the water pressure in the water system structure is high, the water flow switching device is prone to leakage when it is blocked. Furthermore, the wastewater in the cleaning base station contains a large amount of dirt and grime. If the water flow switching device has valves, dirt and grime will gradually accumulate in the device over time, eventually causing blockages in the valves.

[0013] Regarding the above situation, firstly, please refer to [link / reference needed]. Figures 1-4 This application proposes a pipe connection / disconnection assembly 100 for use in cleaning equipment. The cleaning equipment (not shown in the figure) includes a main body 201 and a pipe assembly 202. The pipe assembly 202 is disposed on the main body 201 and includes at least a first pipe 2021, which includes a first flexible hose 2021a. The pipe connection / disconnection assembly 100 includes an installation body 101 and a pressing body 102. The pressing body 102 is disposed on the installation body 101 and is movably disposed on the main body 201 so that the pressing body 102 can detachably press against the first flexible hose 2021a. The first pipe 2021 allows fluid to pass through, and the first flexible hose 2021a allows the pressing body 102 to close the first flexible hose 2021a by squeezing its wall during the pressing process, thereby cutting off the fluid passage.

[0014] The pressing body 102 includes at least two pressing members 1021, which are spaced apart on the mounting body 101, such as... Figures 5-6 As shown, the installation body 101 has at least a first position and a second position on its active path. When the installation body 101 is in the first position, Figure 6 The mounting body 101 is in the first position, and at least two pressure members 1021 press against the first elastic hose 2021a to block the first pipeline 2021 (e.g. Figure 4 (As shown); when the mounting body 101 is in the second position, Figure 5 The mounting body 101 is located in the second position, and at least two pressure members 1021 are separated from the first elastic hose 2021a to conduct the first pipeline 2021. The pressure members 1021 can press the first elastic hose 2021a against the mounting body 101, thereby blocking the first elastic hose 2021a.

[0015] It should be noted that, in this embodiment of the application, at least two pressing members 1021 are provided on the pressing body, so that when the pressing body 102 presses against the first elastic hose 2021a, at least two pressing members 1021 press against the first elastic hose 2021a. Through the synergistic effect of at least two pressing members 1021, the compression and sealing effect of the pressing body 102 on the first elastic hose 2021a is enhanced, and the sealing reliability of the pipeline switching assembly 100 is improved. Meanwhile, in this embodiment, at least two pressing members 1021 jointly press against the first elastic hose 2021a, and the at least two pressing members 1021 are spaced apart. Therefore, the two pressing members 1021 can press against different positions of the first elastic hose 2021a respectively, leaving an unpressed area between the two pressing members 1021. This allows water flow to remain in the unpressed area between the two pressing members 1021, so as to form water pressure between the two pressing members 1021. When the fluid flows in the first elastic hose 2021a, the unpressed area between the two pressing members 1021 forms a partially closed cavity due to the pressure at both ends. The pressure in the cavity can balance the water flow pressure at both ends, thereby preventing the pressing members 1021 from being blown open by the water flow due to excessive water pressure on one side, thereby improving the sealing reliability of the pipeline switching component 100.

[0016] Furthermore, the pressure-blocking body 102 may include two or more pressure-blocking elements 1021, such as three, four or more. These multiple pressure-blocking elements 1021 are spaced apart along the extension direction of the first conduit 2021 to form multiple force-bearing points. The arrangement of multiple pressure-blocking elements 1021 can enhance the blocking effect on the first conduit 2021, thereby applying pressure more evenly and preventing the first elastic hose 2021a from deforming or being damaged due to excessive local force. Moreover, when the fluid pressure in the first conduit 2021 is high, the multiple pressure-blocking elements 1021 can evenly distribute the pressure, effectively preventing deformation or damage to the first conduit 2021. The number of pressure-blocking elements 1021 and the spacing between adjacent pressure-blocking elements 1021 can be adaptively adjusted according to the material and diameter of the first elastic hose 2021a to ensure that a stable local closed cavity can be effectively formed during the compression process.

[0017] In some embodiments, when sewage is transported in the first pipeline 2021, the presence of foreign objects or impurities in the sewage allows the multiple pressure-blocking components 1021 to effectively intercept the sewage, preventing pipeline leakage caused by foreign objects blocking one of the pressure-blocking components 1021. This improves the system's sealing and safety, ensuring the stability and reliability of fluid transmission. For example, two pressure-blocking components 1021 can be provided, allowing both components to simultaneously press against the pipeline. If one component 1021 fails, the other component can still maintain the pipeline seal, ensuring the normal operation of the fluid channel.

[0018] In some embodiments, the mounting body 101 can rotate relative to the device body 201. When the mounting body 101 rotates, it drives the pressing member 1021 to rotate together, thereby achieving pressing or releasing of the first elastic hose 2021a. Alternatively, the mounting body 101 can move relative to the device body 201, for example, moving in a straight line, causing the pressing member 1021 to move closer to or away from the first elastic hose 2021a, thereby achieving pressing or releasing of the first elastic hose 2021a. The specific movement mode of the mounting body 101 can be selected according to the actual application scenario, such as rotational movement or linear movement, both of which can achieve effective control of the first elastic hose 2021a.

[0019] Please see Figures 5-6 In some embodiments of this application, the installation body 101 is rotatably connected to the equipment body 201, the pressing member 1021 is a rotating member 10211, and the pipeline switching assembly 100 also includes a bracket 103 disposed on the installation body 101, and the rotating member 10211 is rotatably disposed on the bracket 103.

[0020] Understandably, when the mounting body 101 rotates to be close to the first elastic hose 2021a, the rotating component 10211 contacts the first elastic hose 2021a and applies pressure. As the mounting body 101 rotates further, the rotating component 10211 can rotate along the bracket 103, gradually pressing against the first elastic hose 2021a, causing the first elastic hose 2021a to be deformed by the pressure, until the rotating component 10211 completely presses against the first elastic hose 2021a, thereby achieving the effect of blocking the first pipeline 2021.

[0021] The rotation axis of the rotating component 10211 forms an angle greater than or equal to 45 degrees and less than or equal to 135 degrees with the axis of the first elastic hose 2021a. Specifically, taking the axis of the first elastic hose 2021a extending horizontally as an example, the rotation axis of the rotating component 10211 can be inclined in the vertical plane so that there is an angle between the rotation axis of the rotating component 10211 and the axis of the first elastic hose 2021a. Therefore, the rotating component 10211 presses against the first elastic hose 2021a at an obtuse angle, thereby allowing it to fit more closely to the outer wall of the first elastic hose 2021a when rotating, improving the uniformity of pressure and sealing effect. At the same time, this angle setting can also prevent the rotating component 10211 from slipping or shifting during rotation, enhancing the stability and reliability of the structure.

[0022] The rotating component 10211 can be a roller or a shaft structure. Its outer circumferential surface is used to contact and press against the first elastic hose 2021a. The peripheral wall of the roller or shaft structure is an arc surface. The arc surface design helps to evenly distribute the extrusion pressure, avoid localized stress on the pipeline, and the arc surface has better fit with the outer wall of the first elastic hose 2021a, further improving the sealing performance. In addition, the friction between the roller or shaft structure and the pipeline is minimized, which helps to reduce pipeline wear.

[0023] Please see Figures 2-3 In some embodiments of this application, the pipeline switching component 100 further includes a driving member 106, which is disposed on the device body 201 and is used to drive the installation body 101 to switch between a first position and a second position relative to the device body 201.

[0024] Specifically, the drive unit 106 precisely controls the moving position of the mounting body 101 to ensure uniform pressure on the pipeline by the pressure-blocking body 102 during the switching process, thus optimizing the switching efficiency of the fluid channel. Simultaneously, since the pressure-blocking member 1021 is a rotating member 10211 and is rotatably connected to the bracket 103, when the rotating member 10211 presses against the first pipeline 2021, it rolls on the first pipeline 2021. The friction between the rotating member 10211 and the first pipeline 2021 is small, meaning the resistance experienced by the pressure-blocking body 102 during the switching process is reduced. This reduces the load and energy consumption of the drive unit 106, thereby extending its service life. Furthermore, the drive unit 106 can be operated electrically, pneumatically, or manually, allowing for flexible selection based on actual needs, further enhancing the applicability and reliability of the device.

[0025] It should be noted that, as Figure 2 As shown, the driving component 106 can be a motor. The driving component 106 has a rotating shaft 51, which is connected to the mounting body 101. The driving component 106 drives the mounting body 101 to rotate via the rotating shaft 51, thereby achieving precise control over the on / off state of the first pipeline 2021. In other embodiments, the driving component 106 can also be used to drive the mounting body 101 to slide, so that the rotating component 10211 abuts against different pipelines.

[0026] Furthermore, in some embodiments of this application, such as Figures 1-3As shown, the rotation axes of at least two rotating components 10211 are parallel to each other to ensure that the force is evenly distributed when the multiple rotating components 10211 press against the first elastic hose 2021a, reducing the problem of excessive local pressure caused by the positional deviation of the rotating components 10211. In addition, the multiple rotating components 10211 can rotate synchronously, further improving the coordination and consistency of the extrusion action, ensuring that the first elastic hose 2021a maintains a stable closed state during the extrusion process, and preventing leakage or restoration of the passage due to uneven pressure.

[0027] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1 As shown, a rotating component 10211 is mounted on the mounting body via a bracket 103, and a connecting structure 1031 is provided between two adjacent brackets 103.

[0028] Specifically, the connecting structure 1031 can enhance the structural stability between multiple supports 103, ensuring that each support 103 remains relatively fixed during the movement of the mounting body 101, avoiding displacement or deformation caused by vibration or external force. Through this connecting structure 1031, multiple rotating components 10211 can act synchronously and stably on the first elastic hose 2021a, improving the reliability of the overall pipeline connection and disconnection. In addition, the connecting structure 1031 can also serve as a limiting component, restricting the movement range of the supports 103 and preventing them from deviating from their predetermined positions, thereby ensuring that the rotating components 10211 always act accurately on the target area of ​​the first elastic hose 2021a, improving the overall working accuracy and durability of the device.

[0029] Furthermore, the connection structure 1031 includes an elastic element that can deform when the bracket is subjected to external force to absorb vibration and impact, thereby further improving the stability and service life of the connection structure 1031. Through the setting of the elastic element, the bracket 103 can float and adjust within a certain range to adapt to the movement trajectory of the installation body 101, ensuring that the rotating part 10211 is always in close contact with the first elastic hose 2021a and applies uniform pressure.

[0030] Alternatively, in some embodiments of this application, the bracket 103 is disposed on the mounting body 101 by an elastic element. The elastic element can provide a certain preload to keep the bracket 103 in a stable posture during the movement of the mounting body 101, preventing the bracket 103 from shifting or shaking due to external vibration or impact, thereby ensuring that the rotating component 10211 always acts accurately on the first elastic hose 2021a, further improving the sealing performance and service life of the device.

[0031] Please see Figures 6-7In some embodiments of this application, the piping assembly 202 further includes a main pipe 2023 and a second pipe 2022. The main pipe 2023 is connected to the first pipe 2021 and the second pipe 2022, respectively. The second pipe 2022 includes a second flexible hose 2022a. The installation body 101 also has a third position on its movement path. When the installation body 101 is in the third position, Figure 7 The mounting body 101 is located in the third position, with at least two pressure members 1021 pressing against the second flexible hose 2022a to block the second pipeline 2022.

[0032] The first pipe 2021 and the second pipe 2022 are both open to fluid flow. The mounting body 101 can switch between the first position and the third position to achieve fluid flow at different positions. When the pressure member 1021 is in the first position, it can apply sufficient pressure to the first elastic hose 2021a to ensure that the first pipe 2021 is effectively closed. When the pressure member 1021 is in the third position, it can apply sufficient pressure to the second elastic hose 2022a to ensure that the second pipe 2022 is effectively closed.

[0033] Please continue reading Figures 6-7 In some embodiments of this application, the first pipe 2021 and the second pipe 2022 are arranged in parallel, and the mounting body 101 is rotatably disposed between the first pipe 2021 and the second pipe 2022. Figure 1 The diagram shows the installation body 101 in the first position. When the installation body 101 is in the first position, the first pipeline 2021 is blocked by the pressure body 102, and the second pipeline 2022 is connected to the main pipeline 2023. Figure 1 The diagram shows the installation body 101 in the second position. When the installation body 101 is in the second position, the pressing body 102 is separated from the first elastic hose 2021a and the second elastic hose 2022a, and the main pipeline 2023 is connected to the first pipeline 2021 and the second pipeline 2022. Figure 1 The diagram shows the installation body 101 in the third position. When the installation body 101 is in the third position, the second pipeline 2022 is blocked by the pressure body 102, and the first pipeline 2021 is connected to the main pipeline 2023.

[0034] Please see Figures 5-7 In some embodiments of this application, the pipeline on / off assembly 100 further includes a sensor assembly 105, which is disposed on the device body 201. The sensor assembly 105 includes a transmitter 1051 and a receiver 1052. The receiver 1052 is used to receive the signal transmitted by the transmitter 1051, and the sensor assembly 105 is used to detect the position of the mounting body 101.

[0035] Specifically, the sensor assembly 105 monitors the position change of the mounting body 101 in real time through signal transmission between the transmitter 1051 and the receiver 1052, ensuring that the mounting body 101 accurately switches between the first position, the second position and the third position. That is, it ensures that the position of the mounting body 101 against the mounting body 102 during the movement is in place, thereby ensuring the synchronization and accuracy of pipeline switching, preventing fluid leakage or mixing caused by misoperation, and improving the operating efficiency and safety of the device.

[0036] Furthermore, the sensor assembly 105 is located between the first conduit 2021 and the second conduit 2022, thereby enabling accurate detection of the rotation angle and position of the mounting body 101 when it rotates between the first conduit 2021 and the second conduit 2022. By rationally arranging the position of the sensor assembly 105, signal misjudgment caused by the positional deviation of the mounting body 101 can be effectively avoided, further improving detection accuracy.

[0037] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figures 7-8 As shown, a baffle 104 is provided on the mounting body 101. The transmitting part 1051 and the receiving part 1052 are arranged opposite to each other, and a detection channel 1053 is formed between the transmitting part 1051 and the receiving part 1052 for the baffle 104 to pass through. The sensor assembly 105 detects the position of the mounting body 101 by detecting the baffle 104 blocking the detection channel 1053. Specifically, when the mounting body 101 moves to the first position and the third position, the baffle 104 is outside the detection channel 1053, and the receiving part 1052 can receive the signal transmitted by the transmitting part 1051; when the mounting body 101 moves between the first position and the third position, the baffle 104 is located in the detection channel 1053 and blocks the signal transmitted by the transmitting part 1051.

[0038] Specifically, the baffle 104 can be used to block the signal emitted by the transmitter 1051, so that the sensor assembly 105 receives the signal only when the mounting body is in a specific position, ensuring the accuracy of the position detection of the mounting body 101 and avoiding misjudgment. When the mounting body 101 moves to the first or third position, it indicates that the pressing body 102 on the mounting body 101 has completely contacted the corresponding pipeline and blocked the pipeline. At this time, the baffle 104 is outside the detection channel 1053, and the receiving unit 1052 can normally receive the signal transmitted by the transmitting unit 1051. The system can confirm that the pipeline switching is complete, and thus control the driving unit 106 to stop working. When the mounting body 101 moves between the first and third positions, it indicates that the pressing body 102 on the mounting body 101 is not in contact with any pipeline or is in the process of switching. At this time, the baffle 104 is in the detection channel 1053 and blocks the signal. The system can thus identify that the switching of the mounting body 101 is not complete, and both the first pipeline 2021 and the second pipeline 2022 are in the open state.

[0039] The pipeline on / off assembly 100 also includes a controller electrically connected to the sensor assembly 105. When the receiving unit 1052 can normally receive the signal transmitted by the transmitting unit 1051, the controller determines that the installation body 101 has moved into place, and at this time the controller can output signal 1; if the signal is blocked, the controller can determine that the pressing member 1021 on the installation body 101 is not in contact with any pipeline, and at this time the controller can output signal 0. Thus, the user can accurately determine whether the position of the installation body 101 is in place based on the signal 1 or 0 output by the controller.

[0040] In other embodiments, baffles 104 on the mounting body 101 may also be disposed on both sides of the mounting body 101, such that when the mounting body 101 moves to the first position and the third position, the baffles 104 are located in the detection channel 1053 and block the signal emitted by the transmitter 1051, at which time the signal received by the sensor assembly 105 is 0; when the mounting body 101 moves between the first position and the third position, the baffles 104 are located outside the detection channel 1053, and the receiver 1052 can receive the signal emitted by the transmitter 1051, at which time the signal received by the sensor assembly 105 is 1.

[0041] Furthermore, in some embodiments of this application, such as Figures 5-6As shown, the baffle member 104 includes a first baffle 1041 and a second baffle 1042. The first baffle 1041 and the second baffle 1042 are arranged at intervals on the movement trajectory of the mounting body 101. It can be understood that since the first baffle 1041 and the second baffle 1042 are both located on the movement trajectory of the mounting body 101, when the mounting body 101 moves along the movement trajectory, the first baffle 1041 and the second baffle 1042 can pass through the detection channel 1053 on the sensor assembly 105 in sequence, so as to realize the position detection of the mounting body 101 by the sensor assembly 105.

[0042] In some embodiments, such as Figure 9 As shown, at least one of the first baffle 1041 and the second baffle 1042 has a signal clearance notch 1043, and the number of signal clearance notches 1043 on the first baffle 1041 and the second baffle 1042 is different. The first baffle 1041 and the second baffle 1042 can be used to block the signal emitted by the transmitter 1051, so that the receiver 1052 can receive the signal emitted by the transmitter 1051 when the sensor assembly 105 is positioned at the signal clearance notch 1043 on the baffle.

[0043] Specifically, taking an example where the first baffle 1041 has n1 signal clearance notches 1043 and the second baffle 1042 has n2 signal clearance notches 1043, the numbers of n1 and n2 are different. When the mounting body 101 is in the initial position, the sensor assembly 105 corresponds to the spacing between the first baffle 1041 and the second baffle 1042. At this time, the first baffle 1041 is set close to the first pipe 2021, and the second baffle 1042 is set close to the second pipe 2022. When the mounting body 101 moves from the initial position to the point where it presses against the first pipe 2021, the second baffle 1042 passes through the detection channel 1053. At this time, the sensor assembly 105 determines the signal clearance notches 1043 on the second baffle 1042. The number of gaps 1043 n2 causes signal transitions; when the installation body 101 moves from the initial position to the pressing body 102 pressing the second pipeline 2022, the first baffle 1041 passes through the detection channel 1053. At this time, the sensor assembly 105 causes signal transitions according to the number of signal avoidance gaps 1043 n1 on the first baffle 1041. By the number and pattern of signal transitions, the on / off status of the first pipeline 2021 and the second pipeline 2022 can be determined, thereby realizing real-time monitoring of pipeline status and improving operational reliability.

[0044] In other embodiments, such as Figure 9As shown, the signal clearance notches 1043 on the first baffle 1041 and the second baffle 1042 are located at different positions. Specifically, the number of signal clearance notches 1043 on the first baffle 1041 and the second baffle 1042 can be different or the same, but the distribution of the signal clearance notches 1043 on the first baffle 1041 and the second baffle 1042 is different. This results in different signal transition patterns received by the sensor assembly 105 when the first baffle 1041 and the second baffle 1042 pass through the detection channel 1053, respectively. The user can distinguish the specific location of the installation body 101 and the on / off status of the first pipe 2021 and the second pipe 2022 based on the transition patterns.

[0045] For example, when the receiving unit 1052 can normally receive the signal transmitted by the transmitting unit 1051, the controller connected to the sensor assembly 105 outputs signal 1; if the signal is blocked, the controller outputs signal 0. The number of signal clearance notches 1043 on the first baffle 1041 and the second baffle 1042 are both two. The two signal clearance notches 1043 on the first baffle 1041 are respectively set at both ends of the first baffle 1041, and the two signal clearance notches 1043 on the second baffle 1042 are spaced apart in the middle of the second baffle 1042. At this time, when the first baffle 1041 and the second baffle 1042 pass through the detection channel 1053, the signal output pattern of the controller connected to the sensor assembly 105 is different, thereby determining the on / off status of the first pipeline 2021 and the second pipeline 2022.

[0046] Furthermore, in some embodiments, such as Figure 9 As shown, along the movement trajectory of the mounting body 101, the distance between the first baffle 1041 and the second baffle 1042 is d1, and the length of the signal avoidance gap 1043 is d2, where d1 > d2.

[0047] It is easy to understand that, taking the interval between the first baffle 1041 and the second baffle 1042 as the first interval 1044, the signal transmission in the detection channel 1053 is unobstructed at the position of the first interval 1044, the receiving unit 1052 can receive the signal emitted by the transmitting unit 1051, and the sensor assembly 105 can stably receive the signal within this interval. Taking the signal received by the sensor assembly 105 at the first interval 1044 as the first signal and the signal received by the sensor assembly 105 at the signal avoidance gap 1043 as the second signal as an example, since the interval distance d1 of the first interval 1044 is greater than the length d2 of the gap 341, the first signal received by the sensor assembly 105 is different from the second signal received by the sensor assembly 105. By comparing the difference between the first signal and the second signal, it is easy to identify whether the mounting body 101 is in the initial position or has moved to the signal avoidance gap 1043.

[0048] Secondly, embodiments of this application also provide a cleaning device, including a device body 201, a pipeline assembly 202, and a pipeline switching assembly 100 as described in any of the above embodiments. The pipeline assembly 202 is disposed on the device body 201 and includes at least a first pipeline 2021. The first pipeline 2021 includes a first elastic hose 2021a. The pipeline switching assembly 100 is movably disposed on the device body 201 to press against the first elastic hose 2021a.

[0049] In some embodiments, the cleaning equipment is a cleaning base station, which also includes a sewage tank and a sewage trough connected to the equipment body 201. The pipeline assembly 202 also includes a T-pipe, which has a first interface, a second interface and a third interface that are interconnected. The first interface is connected to the sewage tank; the first pipeline is connected to the second interface and the sewage trough; and the second pipeline is connected to the third interface and the cleaning terminal.

[0050] In some embodiments, such as Figures 10-11 As shown, the main body 201 of the device includes a base 2011, which has a first channel 2011a for accommodating a first pipe 2021 and a second channel 2011b for accommodating a second pipe 2022. The mounting body 101 is rotatably connected to the base 2011. When the mounting body 101 is rotated to the first position, the pressing body 102 presses the first pipe 2021 against the side wall of the first channel 2011a. When the mounting body 101 is rotated to the second position, the pressing body 102 presses the second pipe 2022 against the side wall of the second channel 2011b.

[0051] Specifically, the arrangement of the first channel 2011a and the second channel 2011b provides stable support for the first pipeline 2021 and the second pipeline 2022, ensuring that the pipelines do not shift during switching, thereby maintaining the sealing and stability of the fluid channels. At the same time, the pressure-resistant body 102, together with the sidewalls in the channels, can form a reliable sealing structure, which is beneficial for blocking the pipelines.

[0052] Further, please see Figures 10-11 In some embodiments of this application, the pipeline switching component 100 further includes an upper cover 2012 connected to the base 2011. The upper cover 2012 and the base 2011 together form a receiving cavity, and the pipeline switching component 100 is disposed in the receiving cavity.

[0053] Understandably, the containment cavity provides a sealed working environment for the pipeline switching assembly 100, preventing external impurities from entering and causing jamming or wear on the mounting body 101. It also prevents external impurities from interfering with the position detection of the mounting body 101, ensuring the accuracy and stability of the mounting body 101's position during switching. Furthermore, the sealed environment helps reduce noise, improves the overall operational stability of the device, and further extends the equipment's service life.

[0054] Thirdly, this application also provides a cleaning system, including a cleaning robot and a pipeline switching component 100 as described in any of the above embodiments. The cleaning robot is used to clean the surface to be cleaned and connects to the cleaning equipment through the pipeline switching component 100 for self-cleaning and water supply and drainage.

[0055] Specifically, the cleaning robot is equipped with a wastewater box. The first pipe 2021 and the second pipe 2022 can be connected to the wastewater box and the wastewater tank, respectively. Through the switching movement of the mounting body 101, wastewater from these two different locations—the wastewater box and the wastewater tank—can flow alternately into the wastewater tank. This embodiment simplifies the water system structure by incorporating a pipe switching component 100, reducing the space occupied by stacked water pipes and improving the overall compactness and efficiency of the system. Simultaneously, the precise switching mechanism ensures timely and accurate wastewater discharge, avoids cross-contamination, and enhances cleaning effectiveness.
