[0034] Please see Figures 1 to 2 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an embodiment of the base station provided in this application; Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an embodiment of the cleaning equipment of the cleaning system provided in this application. This application provides a base station 100. The base station 100 includes a base station body 10 and a cleaning mechanism 20. The base station body 10 forms a receiving cavity 11. The receiving cavity 11 is used to receive at least a portion of the mopping assembly 201 of the cleaning equipment 200. The cleaning mechanism 20 is disposed within the receiving cavity 11. The cleaning mechanism 20 includes a transmission assembly 21 and a cleaning body 22 connected to the transmission assembly 21. When cleaning the mopping assembly 201, the cleaning body 22 is in contact with the mopping assembly 201. The transmission assembly 21 is coupled to the mopping assembly 201. The transmission assembly 21 is configured to rotate when the mopping assembly 201 rotates, and drive the cleaning body 22 to rotate, so that the cleaning body 22 rotates relative to the mopping assembly 201.

[0035] The base station 100 is used not only to support and store the cleaning equipment 200, but also, when the base station 100 is connected to the cleaning equipment 200, to monitor the power level of the cleaning equipment 200, provide charging services for the cleaning equipment 200, and clean the mopping components 201 of the cleaning equipment 200, but is not limited to these functions. The cleaning equipment 200 can be a robotic vacuum cleaner, a floor scrubber, a mop, a vacuum-mop combo, a window cleaning robot, etc., but is not limited to these.

[0036] The mopping assembly 201 is rotatably connected to the body 202 of the cleaning device 200, and can rotate relative to the body 202 under the drive of the drive assembly. When the cleaning device 200 cleans the surface to be cleaned, the drive assembly can drive the mopping assembly 201 to rotate, thereby removing dirt from the surface through the friction between the mopping assembly 201 and the surface to be cleaned. When the cleaning device 200 is docked with the base station 100, the drive assembly can also drive the mopping assembly 201 to rotate. The mopping assembly 201 can be a mop, a cleaning sponge, or a brush, but is not limited to these.

[0037] A receiving cavity 11 is formed within the base station body 10. When the cleaning device 200 docks with the base station 100, at least a portion of the mopping assembly 201 is located within the receiving cavity 11, facilitating the connection between the mopping assembly 201 and the transmission assembly 21 within the receiving cavity 11. When the base station 100 injects fluid into the receiving cavity 11, the fluid can wet the mopping assembly 201. The transmission assembly 21 can rotate when the mopping assembly 201 rotates, driving the cleaning body 22 to rotate relative to the mopping assembly 201. This allows the cleaning body 22 to better remove dirt from the mopping assembly 201, improving the cleaning effect of the cleaning body 22 on the mopping assembly 201.

[0038] The rotation direction of the cleaning body 22 can be the same as or different from that of the mopping assembly 201, and the rotational speed of the cleaning body 22 can be equal to or unequal to that of the mopping assembly 201. When the rotation direction of the cleaning body 22 is the same as that of the mopping assembly 201, the rotational speed of the cleaning body 22 is different from that of the mopping assembly 201; for example, the rotational speed of the cleaning body 22 can be greater than or less than that of the mopping assembly 201. When the rotational speed of the cleaning body 22 is the same as that of the mopping assembly 201, the rotation direction of the cleaning body 22 is opposite to that of the mopping assembly 201; for example, one of the cleaning body 22 and the mopping assembly 201 rotates clockwise, and the other rotates counterclockwise, so that relative movement can be achieved between the cleaning body 22 and the mopping assembly 201. The following embodiment is illustrated by taking the example where the rotation direction of the cleaning body 22 is opposite to that of the mopping assembly 201, and the rotation speed of the cleaning body 22 is less than that of the mopping assembly 201.

[0039] The fluid injected into the receiving cavity 11 can be the cleaning fluid in the clean water tank of the base station 100 or the cleaning equipment 200; alternatively, it can be fluid supplied by an external faucet or other independent water supply device. During or after cleaning the mopping assembly 201 of the cleaning equipment 200, the fluid in the receiving cavity 11 can be discharged into the wastewater tank for recycling or replacement.

[0040] The base station 100 is connected to the mopping component 201 of the cleaning device 200 via a transmission component 21, and the transmission component 21 is connected to the cleaning body 22. This allows the transmission component 21 to rotate when the mopping component 201 rotates, thereby driving the cleaning body 22 to rotate relative to the mopping component 201. On the one hand, by making the cleaning body 22 rotate relative to the mopping component 201, not only can frictional stress be dispersed, but the sliding friction between the cleaning body 22 and the mopping component 201 can also be converted into rolling friction. This reduces the risk of the cleaning body 22 slipping or getting stuck during the cleaning process of the mopping component 201, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency and cleaning effect of the cleaning body 22 on the mopping component 201. On the other hand, by having the mopping component 201 drive the cleaning body 22 to rotate, there is no need to equip a separate drive component to drive the cleaning body 22 to rotate, which can save the energy consumption of the base station 100 and help improve the battery life of the base station 100.

[0041] In some embodiments, the transmission component 21 is also configured to rotate at least partially in the opposite direction to the rotation direction of the mopping component 201, so as to drive the cleaning body 22 to rotate in the opposite direction to the rotation direction of the mopping component 201.

[0042] When the mopping assembly 201 rotates clockwise, it drives the component in the transmission assembly 21 that connects to the cleaning body 22 to rotate counterclockwise, thus enabling the transmission assembly 21 to drive the cleaning body 22 to rotate counterclockwise. Conversely, when the mopping assembly 201 rotates counterclockwise, it drives the component in the transmission assembly 21 that connects to the cleaning body 22 to rotate clockwise, thus enabling the transmission assembly 21 to drive the cleaning body 22 to rotate clockwise.

[0043] By making the rotation direction of the cleaning body 22 opposite to that of the mopping assembly 201, on the one hand, the rolling friction between the cleaning body 22 and the mopping assembly 201 can be enhanced, so that the cleaning body 22 can make close and stable contact with the mopping assembly 201. This further reduces the risk of the cleaning body 22 slipping or getting stuck, thereby making the cleaning of the mopping assembly 201 by the cleaning body 22 more thorough and improving the cleaning effect of the cleaning body 22 on the mopping assembly 201. On the other hand, it allows the cleaning body 22 to better get rid of hair, threads, debris and other impurities on the mopping assembly 201, reducing or avoiding the cleaning body 22 getting stuck due to impurities, thereby enabling the cleaning body 22 to clean the mopping assembly 201 continuously and stably.

[0044] Please refer to the following: Figures 3 to 4 , Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an embodiment of the cleaning mechanism for a base station provided in this application; Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a mopping assembly of the cleaning device of the cleaning system provided in this application. In some embodiments, the transmission assembly 21 includes a connector 212. The connector 212 is used to connect the mopping assembly 201, and the connector 212 is provided with a first connecting portion 2123 on the side facing the mopping assembly 201. The first connecting portion 2123 is used to detachably connect with a second connecting portion 2011 of the mopping assembly 201.

[0045] When the cleaning device 200 docks with the base station 100, the connector 212 of the transmission assembly 21 is connected to the second connector 2011 on the mopping assembly 201 via the first connector 2123, thereby fixing the transmission assembly 21 and the mopping assembly 201 together. During the rotation of the mopping assembly 201, the connector 212 can drive the connector 212 to rotate, so that the connector 212 directly or indirectly drives the cleaning body 22 to rotate.

[0046] The first connecting part 2123 and the second connecting part 2011 detachably connect the mopping component 201 of the cleaning device 200 to the transmission component 21 in the cleaning mechanism 20 of the base station 100. On the one hand, this allows the mopping component 201 and the transmission component 21 to be stably and firmly connected together during the cleaning process of the cleaning body 22 cleaning the mopping component 201, reducing or avoiding the separation of the transmission component 21 and the mopping component 201 during relative rotation, which could lead to mechanical accidents or safety hazards and improve the stability of the cleaning system. On the other hand, it allows the cleaning mechanism 20 and the mopping component 201 to separate when the cleaning device 200 needs to work, which can improve problems such as the cleaning device 200 being locked inside the base station 100 due to the mopping component 201 being unable to detach from the transmission component 21, thus preventing the cleaning device 200 from continuing to perform cleaning tasks.

[0047] The second connecting portion 2011 can be disposed on the surface of the mopping assembly 201 used to clean the surface to be cleaned. In some embodiments, the mopping assembly 201 includes a mop body 2012 and a mounting area 2013, with the mop body 2012 surrounding the mounting area 2013. The mounting area 2013 can be a plane, and the second connecting portion 2011 is disposed on the mounting area 2013; alternatively, the mounting area 2013 can also have a groove, and the second connecting portion 2011 is disposed within the groove, so that the second connecting portion 2011 will not interfere with the surface to be cleaned when the mopping assembly 201 cleans the surface. Whether or not a groove needs to be formed in the mounting area 2013 can be selected according to the structural type of the second connecting portion 2011.

[0048] In some embodiments, the cleaning device 200 can drive the mopping assembly 201 to move up and down via a lifting mechanism (not shown). When the cleaning device 200 is docked with the base station 100, the lifting mechanism can drive the mopping assembly 201 to descend, so that the second connecting portion 2011 on the mopping assembly 201 is connected to the first connecting portion 2123 on the cleaning mechanism 20 of the base station 100. When the cleaning device 200 needs to perform a cleaning task, the lifting mechanism can drive the mopping assembly 201 to rise, so that the second connecting portion 2011 is separated from the first connecting portion 2123.

[0049] In some embodiments, one of the first connecting portion 2123 and the second connecting portion 2011 is a slot and the other is a block, so that the cleaning mechanism 20 and the mopping assembly 201 can be fixedly connected by the slot and the block engaging; or, one of the first connecting portion 2123 and the second connecting portion 2011 is a first magnetic member and the other is a second magnetic member, so that the cleaning mechanism 20 and the mopping assembly 201 can be fixedly connected by magnetic attraction; or, one of the first connecting portion 2123 and the second connecting portion 2011 may include The cleaning mechanism 20 is connected to the mopping assembly 201. The first magnetic component is located in the card slot, and the other component may include a card block and a second magnetic component. The second magnetic component is embedded in the card block and at least partially exposed on the surface of the card block. When the cleaning mechanism 20 is connected to the mopping assembly 201, the card block is embedded in the card slot, and the first magnetic component and the second magnetic component attract each other. Alternatively, one of the first connecting part 2123 and the second connecting part 2011 is a fixing hole, and the other is a fixing pin. In this way, the cleaning mechanism 20 and the mopping assembly 201 can be fixedly connected by locking the fixing hole and the fixing pin.

[0050] Please refer to the following: Figures 5 to 6 , Figure 5 This is an exploded structural diagram of an embodiment of the cleaning mechanism for a base station provided in this application; Figure 6This is an exploded structural diagram of another embodiment of the cleaning mechanism for the base station provided in this application. In some embodiments, the transmission assembly 21 further includes a speed reducer 211, which is connected between the side of the connector 212 facing away from the mopping assembly 201 and the cleaning body 22. The connector 212 is used to rotate when the mopping assembly 201 rotates, and drive the speed reducer 211 to rotate, so that the speed reducer 211 drives the cleaning body 22 to rotate; wherein, the rotational speed of the cleaning body 22 is less than the rotational speed of the mopping assembly 201.

[0051] The speed reducer 211 is connected to the side of the connector 212 facing away from the first connecting part 2123. The speed reducer 211 can transmit power and reduce the rotational speed, so that the speed reducer 211 can rotate under the drive of the mopping assembly 201 and the connector 212, and drive the cleaning body 22 to rotate, and can also convert the high rotational speed of the mopping assembly 201 into a low rotational speed, so that the rotational speed of the cleaning body 22 is less than the rotational speed of the mopping assembly 201.

[0052] Due to the centrifugal force affecting the cleaning body 22 at high speed, the contact between the cleaning body 22 and the mopping assembly 201 is unstable, and the cleaning body 22 stays at various positions of the mopping assembly 201 for a short time, which affects the cleaning effect of the cleaning body 22 on the mopping assembly 201.

[0053] By reducing the rotational speed of the cleaning body 22 through the speed reduction component 211, so that the rotational speed of the cleaning body 22 is less than that of the mopping assembly 201, on the one hand, the cleaning body 22 can not only adhere more stably to the mopping assembly 201, but also apply greater pressure to the mopping assembly 201, and the cleaning body 22 can stay at each position of the mopping assembly 201 for a sufficient time, so that the cleaning body 22 can better remove dirt from the mopping assembly 201, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the cleaning body 22 on the mopping assembly 201; on the other hand, by reducing the speed of the cleaning body 22, the cleaning body 22 can achieve better cleaning effect. The speed-reducing component 211 can increase the output torque, so that the cleaning body 22 can generate greater driving force when rotating at low speed, thereby further improving the cleaning effect of the cleaning body 22 on the mopping assembly 201. On the other hand, it can reduce the flow rate of the fluid in the receiving cavity 11, which can not only improve or prevent the fluid in the receiving cavity 11 from splashing out from the edge of the receiving cavity 11 and contaminating the cleaning body 22, base station 100, or even the surface to be cleaned, but also reduce noise and improve the quietness of the cleaning system, which helps to improve the user experience.

[0054] In some embodiments, please continue reading Figures 5 to 6The reduction gear 211 includes a first transmission member 2111 and a second transmission member 2112. The first transmission member 2111 is connected to the connector 212 on the side facing away from the mopping assembly 201. The second transmission member 2112 is connected between the first transmission member 2111 and the cleaning body 22. The connector 212, the first transmission member 2111, the second transmission member 2112, and the cleaning body 22 are sequentially connected in a transmission manner. The rotation direction of the first transmission member 2111 is the same as the rotation direction of the mopping assembly 201, and the rotation direction of the second transmission member 2112 is opposite to the rotation direction of the first transmission member 2111.

[0055] The first transmission member 2111 is connected to the side of the connector 212 facing away from the first connecting portion 2123, and can serve as a power input component. The second transmission member 2112 is connected between the first transmission member 2111 and the cleaning body 22, and can serve as a power output component. The second transmission member 2112 can drive the cleaning body 22 to rotate under the transmission of the first transmission member 2111. Specifically, the connector 212 can rotate when the mopping assembly 201 rotates, and transmit the rotational power to the first transmission member 2111 to drive the first transmission member 2111 to rotate. When the first transmission member 2111 rotates, it can further transmit the rotational power to the second transmission member 2112 to drive the second transmission member 2112 to rotate. When the second transmission member 2112 rotates, it can output the rotational power to the cleaning body 22 to drive the cleaning body 22 to rotate.

[0056] By cooperating and rotating the first transmission member 2111 and the second transmission member 2112, the direction of rotation can be changed so that the rotation direction of the cleaning body 22 is opposite to the rotation direction of the mopping assembly 201. When the mopping assembly 201 rotates clockwise, the first transmission member 2111 rotates clockwise, the second transmission member 2112 rotates counterclockwise, and the cleaning body 22 rotates counterclockwise; when the mopping assembly 201 rotates counterclockwise, the first transmission member 2111 rotates counterclockwise, the second transmission member 2112 rotates clockwise, and the cleaning body 22 rotates clockwise.

[0057] The first transmission component 2111 and the second transmission component 2112 can be planetary gear assemblies, herringbone gear pairs, harmonic drive gears, magnetic gear sets, etc., but are not limited to these. The following embodiments are described using planetary gear assemblies as an example.

[0058] In some embodiments, a shaft hole 112 is formed at the bottom 111 of the receiving cavity 11, and a speed reducer 211 is disposed around the shaft hole 112. The connector 212 includes a connecting body 2121 and a rotating shaft 2122. A first connecting portion 2123 is disposed on the side of the connecting body 2121 facing away from the speed reducer 211. One end of the rotating shaft 2122 is fixed to the side of the connecting body 2121 facing the speed reducer 211, and the other end is rotatably inserted into the shaft hole 112. A first transmission member 2111 is sleeved on the outside of the rotating shaft 2122.

[0059] Both the first connecting part 2123 and the rotating shaft 2122 are provided on the connector 212. That is, the first connecting part 2123 is provided on the side of the connecting body 2121 facing the mopping assembly 201, so that the first connecting part 2123 can be connected to the second connecting part 2011 on the mopping assembly 201. When the first connecting part 2123 is connected to the second connecting part 2011, the surface of the mopping assembly 201 used for cleaning the surface to be cleaned can be positioned opposite to the bottom 111 of the receiving cavity 11, so that the cleaning body 22 can peel off the dirt on the mopping assembly 201.

[0060] One end of the rotating shaft 2122 is fixedly connected to the side of the connecting body 2121 facing away from the first connecting part 2123, so that when the mopping assembly 201 drives the connecting body 2121 to rotate, the rotating shaft 2122 can rotate with the connecting body 2121. The other end of the rotating shaft 2122 is inserted into the shaft hole 112 in the bottom 111 of the receiving cavity 11, so that the rotating shaft 2122 can be stably supported on the bottom 111 of the receiving cavity 11, thereby allowing the connecting member 212 to stably support the mopping assembly 201, and thus allowing the mopping assembly 201 to rotate stably within the receiving cavity 11.

[0061] Both the rotating shaft 2122 and the connecting body 2121 can be made of metal, which can improve the structural strength and stability between the rotating shaft 2122 and the connecting body 2121; alternatively, the rotating shaft 2122 can be made of metal and the connecting body 2121 can be made of plastic, thereby reducing the weight of the connecting part 212, reducing energy consumption during the rotation of the cleaning body 22, and improving the dynamic response efficiency of the cleaning body 22. If the rotating shaft 2122 is made of metal and the connecting body 2121 is made of plastic, the rotating shaft 2122 and the connecting body 2121 can be integrally formed by insert molding, dual-material injection molding, hot pressing, etc., but are not limited to these methods; of course, the rotating shaft 2122 and the connecting body 2121 can also be fixedly connected together by bolt connection, structural adhesive bonding, ultrasonic welding, etc., but are not limited to these methods. If both the rotating shaft 2122 and the connecting body 2121 are made of metal, the rotating shaft 2122 and the connecting body 2121 can be integrally formed by casting, forging, stamping, etc., but are not limited to these methods; of course, the rotating shaft 2122 and the connecting body 2121 can also be fixedly connected together by bolting, welding, hot nesting, etc., but are not limited to these methods.

[0062] In some embodiments, please continue reading Figure 6 The rotating shaft 2122 includes a shaft body 2122a and a fixing part 2122b. One end of the shaft body 2122a is connected to the fixing part 2122b, and the other end is rotatably inserted into the shaft hole 112. A fixing groove 2121d is formed on the side of the connecting body 2121 facing the rotating shaft 2122, and the fixing part 2122b is embedded in the fixing groove 2121d.

[0063] Please continue reading. Figures 5 to 6 See also Figure 7 , Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the operating structure of an embodiment of the cleaning mechanism for a base station provided in this application. In some embodiments, the first transmission member 2111 includes a drive gear 2111a, which is sleeved on the outside of the rotating shaft 2122. The second transmission member 2112 includes a plurality of driven gears 2112a and a gear ring 2112b. The plurality of driven gears 2112a are spaced apart circumferentially along the drive gears 2111a and mesh with the drive gears 2111a respectively. The gear ring 2112b is arranged around the plurality of driven gears 2112a and meshes with the plurality of driven gears 2112a. The cleaning body 22 is connected to the outside of the gear ring 2112b and extends radially away from the driven gears 2112a along the gear ring 2112b.

[0064] The inner ring of the drive gear 2111a is sleeved on the outside of the rotating shaft 2122 and fixed to the rotating shaft 2122, so that when the wiping assembly 201 drives the connecting body 2121 to rotate, the drive gear 2111a can rotate with the connecting body 2121, and the rotation direction of the connecting body 2121 and the drive gear 2111a is the same as the rotation direction of the wiping assembly 201.

[0065] The number of driven gears 2112a can be 3, 5, 6, etc., but is not limited to these. Multiple driven gears 2112a are spaced apart circumferentially along the drive gear 2111a, and the external teeth of each driven gear 2112a mesh with the external teeth of the drive gear 2111a. A gear ring 2112b surrounds the multiple driven gears 2112a, and the internal teeth of the gear ring 2112b mesh with the external teeth of the driven gears 2112a. A cleaning body 22 is connected to the side of the gear ring 2112b opposite to the internal teeth of the gear ring 2112b, that is, the cleaning body 22 is connected to the outside of the gear ring 2112b.

[0066] When the drive gear 2111a rotates, it drives the driven gear 2112a to rotate, which in turn drives the gear ring 2112b to rotate. The drive gear 2111a meshes with the external teeth of the driven gear 2112a through its external teeth, which transmits power to the driven gear 2112a, causing the driven gear 2112a to rotate relative to the drive gear 2111a. Furthermore, the drive gear 2111a can also change the direction of rotation of the driven gear 2112a, so that the direction of rotation of the driven gear 2112a is opposite to that of the drive gear 2111a. The external teeth of the driven gear 2112a mesh with the internal teeth of the gear ring 2112b. The driven gear 2112a can transmit power to the gear ring 2112b and drive the gear ring 2112b to rotate in the same direction as its rotation direction, so that the rotation direction of the gear ring 2112b is the same as the rotation direction of the driven gear 2112a. This makes the rotation direction of the cleaning body 22 opposite to the rotation direction of the drive gear 2111a, and further makes the rotation direction of the cleaning body 22 opposite to the rotation direction of the mopping assembly 201.

[0067] like Figure 7 As shown, when the wiping assembly 201 rotates clockwise, the drive gear 2111a rotates clockwise, while the driven gear 2112a and the gear ring 2112b rotate counterclockwise. When the wiping assembly 201 rotates counterclockwise, the drive gear 2111a rotates counterclockwise, while the driven gear 2112a and the gear ring 2112b rotate clockwise. The drive gear 2111a can be a sun gear, and the driven gear 2112a can be a planet gear.

[0068] Since the driven gear 2112a can only rotate relative to the driving gear 2111a, it can transmit power to the gear ring 2112b, driving the gear ring 2112b to rotate in the same direction as its rotation. Because the diameter of the gear ring 2112b is larger than that of the driving gear 2111a, the number of teeth on the gear ring 2112b is much greater than the number of teeth on the driving gear 2111a.

[0069] Based on the relationship between input speed and output speed: ω out =﹣ω in ·Z s / Z r , where ω out ω represents the rotational speed of the gear ring 2112b. in Z represents the rotational speed of the drive gear 2111a. s Z represents the number of teeth on the drive gear 2111a. r The number of teeth on the gear ring 2112b indicates the number of teeth. The negative sign indicates that the rotation direction of the drive gear 2111a is opposite to that of the gear ring 2112b. Because the rotation direction of the drive gear 2111a is opposite to that of the gear ring 2112b, the rotation direction of the cleaning body 22 is less than the opposite direction of the rotation direction of the mopping assembly 201. The number of teeth Z on the gear ring 2112b... r Much greater than the number of teeth Z on the drive gear 2111a s This causes the rotational speed ω of the gear ring 2112b to be... out The rotational speed ω of the drive gear 2111a is less than in This results in the cleaning body 22 rotating at a speed lower than the mopping assembly 201.

[0070] By engaging multiple driven gears 2112a with drive gears 2111a respectively, and by arranging a gear ring 2112b around the multiple driven gears 2112a and engaging the gear ring 2112b with the multiple driven gears 2112a, while simultaneously connecting the cleaning body 22 to the outside of the gear ring 2112b, the rotation direction of the cleaning body 22 is opposite to the rotation direction of the mopping assembly 201. This not only disperses frictional stress but also converts the sliding friction between the cleaning body 22 and the mopping assembly 201 into rolling friction, thereby reducing the frictional stress on the cleaning body 22 when cleaning the mopping assembly 201. The cleaning process avoids risks such as slippage and jamming, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency and effect of the cleaning body 22 on the mopping component 201. On the other hand, the rotation speed of the cleaning body 22 is lower than that of the mopping component 201, which allows the cleaning body 22 to not only adhere more stably to the mopping component 201, but also to apply greater pressure to the mopping component 201. Furthermore, the cleaning body 22 can stay at each position of the mopping component 201 for a sufficient amount of time, allowing the cleaning body 22 to better remove dirt from the mopping component 201, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the cleaning body 22 on the mopping component 201.

[0071] In some embodiments, a mounting portion 2113 is formed on the side of the toothed ring 2112b facing away from the bottom 111, and the mounting portion 2113 is arranged circumferentially along the toothed ring 2112b. The connecting body 2121 covers the mounting portion 2113, and the connecting body 2121 and the toothed ring 2112b are rotatable relative to each other.

[0072] The connecting body 2121 and the assembly part 2113 can be connected by a rolling bearing. The inner ring of the rolling bearing can be fixed to the outer circumference of the assembly part 2113, and the outer ring balls, rollers, etc. of the rolling bearing can be rotatably connected to the connecting body 2121 so that the connecting body 2121 and the toothed ring 2112b can rotate relative to each other. Alternatively, the connecting body 2121 and the assembly part 2113 can also be connected by a flexible connector 212, so that the connecting body 2121 and the toothed ring 2112b can rotate relative to each other through elastic deformation.

[0073] By enabling relative rotation between the connecting body 2121 and the toothed ring 2112b, the connecting body 2121 can rotate under the drive of the dragging assembly 201, and the toothed ring 2112b can rotate in the opposite direction to the rotation direction of the connecting body 2121 under the drive of the driven gear 2112a, so that the connecting body 2121 and the toothed ring 2112b do not interfere with each other.

[0074] A gear ring 2112b is arranged around multiple driven gears 2112a to form a receiving space 2114. At least a portion of the driven gears 2112a, the drive gear 2111a, and the rotating shaft 2122 are located within the receiving space 2114. By covering the connecting body 2121 onto the mounting portion 2113, the receiving space 2114 can be sealed, preventing fluid from seeping into the receiving space 2114 during the cleaning process of the base station 100 on the wiping assembly 201. This reduces or avoids the risks of fluid corrosion of components within the receiving space 2114 and impurities in the fluid becoming stuck between two connected components inside the receiving space 2114. This not only improves the reliability of the transmission assembly 21 but also extends its service life.

[0075] Please refer to the following: Figure 8 , Figure 8 This is an exploded structural diagram of an embodiment of the connector of the cleaning mechanism for a base station provided in this application. In some embodiments, a mounting portion 2113 is formed on the side of the toothed ring 2112b facing away from the bottom 111, and the mounting portion 2113 is arranged circumferentially along the toothed ring 2112b. The connecting body 2121 includes a rotating portion 2121a and a cover plate 2121b. The cover plate 2121b covers the mounting portion 2113. The cover plate 2121b has a mounting hole 2121c. The rotating portion 2121a is disposed in the mounting hole 2121c and is rotatably connected to the cover plate 2121b. A first connecting portion 2123 is disposed on the side of the rotating portion 2121a facing away from the deceleration member 211.

[0076] The rotating part 2121a and the cover plate 2121b can be connected by a rolling bearing. The outer ring of the rolling bearing can be fixed in the mounting hole 2121c, and the inner ring of the rolling bearing can be movably connected to the rotating part 2121a, so that the rotating part 2121a can rotate relative to the cover plate 2121b. Alternatively, the rotating part 2121a and the cover plate 2121b can also be connected by a flexible connector 212, so that the rotating part 2121a can rotate relative to the cover plate 2121b through elastic deformation.

[0077] By covering the assembly part 2113 with the cover plate 2121b, the accommodating space 2114 can be sealed, preventing fluid from seeping into the accommodating space 2114 during the cleaning process of the base station 100 for the wiping assembly 201. This reduces or avoids the risk of fluid corrosion of the components in the accommodating space 2114 and impurities in the fluid getting stuck between two connected components inside the accommodating space 2114. This not only improves the reliability of the transmission assembly 21, but also extends the service life of the transmission assembly 21.

[0078] In some embodiments, the cleaning mechanism 20 further includes a sealing ring (not shown) disposed between the assembly portion 2113 and the cover plate 2121b, so that the assembly portion 2113 and the cover plate 2121b are sealed together, thereby enabling the cover plate 2121b to seal the receiving space 2114 and prevent fluid from seeping into the receiving space 2114 from the receiving cavity 11. The material of the sealing ring can be selected from rubber, silicone, sponge, or wool felt, but is not limited to these. Rubber, silicone, sponge, and wool felt all have good elasticity, so that the sealing ring is elastic, thereby enabling a better seal between the assembly portion 2113 and the cover plate 2121b, and improving the sealing performance of the receiving space 2114.

[0079] By providing the rotating part 2121a at the mounting hole 2121c of the cover plate 2121b and rotatably connecting it to the cover plate 2121b, and covering the assembly part 2113 with the cover plate 2121b, the rotating part 2121a can rotate under the drive of the dragging assembly 201, and the cover plate 2121b can rotate in the opposite direction to the rotation direction of the rotating part 2121a under the drive of the toothed ring 2112b, so that the cover plate 2121b and the rotating part 2121a do not interfere with each other.

[0080] Please refer to the following: Figure 9 , Figure 9 This is a schematic diagram of the operating structure of another embodiment of the cleaning mechanism for the base station provided in this application. In some embodiments, the gear ring 2112b may not be provided, and multiple driven gears 2112a are equidistantly and spaced apart on the outer periphery of the drive gear 2111a, with each driven gear 2112a having a cleaning body 22. During the cleaning process of the mopping assembly 201, the mopping assembly 201 can rotate alternately counterclockwise and clockwise with a rotation angle of less than 360°, wherein the rotation angle of the mopping assembly 201 in one direction is less than the angle obtained by dividing 360° by the number of driven gears 2112a. For example, when there are two driven gears 2112a, the two driven gears 2112a are 180° apart. The mopping assembly 201 can rotate alternately clockwise and counterclockwise with a rotation angle of less than 180°. For example, it can first rotate clockwise to approximately 180°, and then rotate counterclockwise to approximately 180°. When there are three driven gears 2112a, the two adjacent driven gears 2112a are 120° apart. The mopping assembly 201 can rotate alternately clockwise and counterclockwise with a rotation angle of less than 120°. For example, it can first rotate clockwise to approximately 120°, and then rotate counterclockwise to approximately 120°. This embodiment reduces the risk of the cleaning body 22 being caught between the drive gear 2111a and the driven gear 2112a by making the rotation angle of the mopping assembly 201 in one direction less than the angle obtained by dividing 360° by the number of driven gears 2112a.

[0081] In some embodiments, the cleaning body 22 includes a scraper 221. The scraper 221 is disposed in contact with at least a portion of the inner wall of the receiving cavity 11.

[0082] The scraper 221 may be disposed in contact with the bottom 111 of the receiving cavity 11; or the scraper 221 may be disposed in contact with the bottom 111 and the side wall of the receiving cavity 11.

[0083] The small contact area between the scraper 221 and the mopping assembly 201 increases the pressure between the mopping assembly 201 and the scraper 221 during the cleaning process, thereby increasing the force exerted by the scraper 221 on the mopping assembly 201 and thus improving the cleaning effect of the cleaning body 22 on the mopping assembly 201.

[0084] By making the scraper 221 contact at least part of the inner wall of the receiving cavity 11, the scraper 221 can clean the bottom 111 of the receiving cavity 11 at the same time during the cleaning of the mopping assembly 201. After the mopping assembly 201 is cleaned, dust, hair, debris and other impurities can be discharged with the fluid, reducing or avoiding the accumulation of impurities at the bottom 111 of the receiving cavity 11. This reduces the number of times the receiving cavity 11 needs to be cleaned manually and helps to improve the user experience.

[0085] In some embodiments, the base station 100 further includes a tray 30. The tray 30 is disposed on the base station body 10 and has a receiving cavity 11.

[0086] The tray 30 can be detachably installed inside the base station body 10. On the one hand, it is convenient to disassemble and clean the tray 30 components regularly. By disassembling the tray 30 and then cleaning it, the cleaning efficiency and cleaning effect of the tray 30 can be improved. On the other hand, when the cleaning mechanism 20 malfunctions, the tray 30 can be disassembled and then the cleaning mechanism 20 can be maintained, which can improve the maintenance efficiency of the cleaning mechanism 20.

[0087] This application also provides a cleaning system. The cleaning system includes a cleaning device 200 and a base station 100 in any of the above embodiments. The cleaning device 200 includes a mopping assembly 201, a body 202, and a drive assembly connected to the mopping assembly 201. The mopping assembly 201 and the drive assembly are disposed on the body 202, and the drive assembly is used to drive the mopping assembly 201 to rotate.

[0088] In this embodiment, the specific structure of the base station 100 is the same as that in the above embodiments. Since the cleaning system adopts all the technical solutions of all the embodiments of the base station 100, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be described in detail here.

[0089] The above description is merely an embodiment of this application and does not limit the patent scope of this application. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made using the content of this application's specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this application.
