[0048] Exemplary embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, these exemplary embodiments can be implemented in many forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein; rather, they are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the concept of the exemplary embodiments to those skilled in the art. The same reference numerals in the drawings denote the same or similar structures, and therefore their detailed description will be omitted.

[0049] Although relative terms such as "up" and "down" are used in this specification to describe the relative relationship of one component of an icon to another, these terms are used only for convenience, such as according to the orientation of the examples shown in the accompanying drawings. It is understood that if the device of the icon is flipped upside down, the component described as "up" will become the component described as "down." When a structure is "up" of another structure, it may mean that the structure is integrally formed on the other structure, or that the structure is "directly" mounted on the other structure, or that the structure is "indirectly" mounted on the other structure through another structure.

[0050] The terms “a,” “one,” “the,” and “the” are used to indicate the existence of one or more elements / components / etc.; the terms “including” and “having” are used to indicate an open-ended inclusion meaning and that there may be other elements / components / etc. in addition to the listed elements / components / etc.; the terms “first” and “second” are used only as markers and are not a limitation on the number of objects.

[0051] Some embodiments of this disclosure provide a cleaning system, such as Figure 1 As shown, the cleaning system may include a cleaning base station 01 and a cleaning device 02. The cleaning base station 01 may include a base station body 1, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the base station body 1 may be provided with a receiving part 1a for accommodating the cleaning device 02. The receiving part 1a may be a receiving cavity located in the base station body 1, but is not limited thereto. The cleaning device 02 can be placed in the receiving part 1a. The cleaning base station 01 may also include a ramp 2, which may be provided at the opening of the receiving cavity. The cleaning device 02 can enter the receiving cavity through the ramp 2.

[0052] The cleaning device 02 can be a self-propelled device, meaning that it can include a sensing component, a control component, and a walking mechanism. The sensing component can sense information about the external environment in which the cleaning device 02 is located, such as obstacles around the cleaning device 02, surfaces to be cleaned, and the location and distance of objects like the cleaning base station 01. The control component can control the walking mechanism to move based on the environmental information sensed by the sensing component, enabling the cleaning device 02 to achieve tasks such as obstacle avoidance, cleaning of surfaces to be cleaned, and entering the receiving cavity of the cleaning base station 01 via the ramp 2. The cleaning device 02 can be a sweeping robot, floor scrubber, mop, sweeping and mopping robot, lawnmower, window cleaning robot, etc. This disclosure does not specifically limit the type of cleaning device 02.

[0053] like Figure 3 As shown, the cleaning device 02 may have a cleaning component 021, which may be a roller mop or a tracked mop, but is not limited to these. The cleaning component 021 may also be a disc mop, a flat mop, a cleaning brush, etc. The cleaning device 02 can use the cleaning component 021 to clean the surface to be cleaned. The accommodating part 1a of the base station body 1 may have a cleaning area 1b for cleaning the cleaning component 021 of the cleaning device 02. After the cleaning device 02 has completed the cleaning work, the cleaning device 02 can be placed in the accommodating part 1a, with the cleaning component 021 located in the cleaning area 1b, so that the cleaning base station 01 can clean the used cleaning component 021, so that the cleaning device 02 can better perform subsequent new cleaning work.

[0054] In some embodiments of this disclosure, such as Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the cleaning base station 01 may also include a water supply component 3 and a hot air component 4. The water supply component 3 can be used to provide clean water to the cleaning area 1b when cleaning the cleaning component 021, so as to clean the cleaning component 021 with clean water.

[0055] The hot air assembly 4 can be installed on the base station body 1. The hot air assembly 4 can supply hot air to the cleaning area 1b in response to the water supply assembly 3 supplying clean water to the cleaning area 1b. The hot air can be used to heat the clean water in the cleaning area 1b to increase the temperature of the clean water. The clean water with a higher temperature can have a stronger cleaning ability to remove stubborn stains attached to the cleaning component 021, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the cleaning base station 01 on the cleaning component 021.

[0056] Alternatively, the hot air supplied by the hot air assembly 4 to the cleaning zone 1b can be used to heat the cleaning component 021 located in the cleaning zone 1b to increase the surface temperature of the cleaning component 021, so that stubborn stains attached to the cleaning component 021 can be more easily cleaned, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the cleaning base station 01 on the cleaning component 021.

[0057] Alternatively, the hot air supplied by the hot air assembly 4 to the cleaning zone 1b can be used to heat the clean water and the cleaning component 021 located in the cleaning zone 1b at the same time, so as to simultaneously increase the temperature of the surface of the clean water and the cleaning component 021, which can further remove stubborn stains attached to the cleaning component 021, thereby further improving the cleaning effect of the cleaning base station 01 on the cleaning component 021.

[0058] When the cleaning base station 01 improves the cleaning effect on the cleaning component 021, it enables the cleaning base station 01 to clean the cleaning component 021 after use, ensuring that the cleaning equipment 02 can have a better cleaning effect when performing subsequent cleaning work.

[0059] like Figures 2 to 5 As shown, the cleaning zone 1b may include a preheating sub-zone 1c and a cleaning sub-zone 1d. The cleaning component 021 of the cleaning device 02 may be located in the cleaning sub-zone 1d, and the aforementioned ramp 2 may be located on the side of the cleaning sub-zone 1d away from the preheating sub-zone 1c. The preheating sub-zone 1c may be located between the water supply assembly 3 and the cleaning sub-zone 1d, so that the clean water supplied by the water supply assembly 3 to the cleaning zone 1b first passes through the preheating sub-zone 1c before reaching the cleaning sub-zone 1d to clean the cleaning component 021 located in the cleaning sub-zone 1d. The hot air assembly 4 can supply hot air to the preheating sub-zone 1c, thereby preheating the clean water supplied by the water supply assembly 3 in the preheating sub-zone 1c, which increases the heating time of the clean water by the hot air, thus ensuring that the clean water reaching the cleaning sub-zone 1d has a sufficient temperature, further ensuring its cleaning effect on the cleaning component 021.

[0060] The preheating sub-zone 1c can also be located between the hot air assembly 4 and the cleaning sub-zone 1d. This arrangement allows the hot air assembly 4 and the water supply assembly 3 to be located on the same side of the preheating sub-zone 1c, reducing the distance between them. When the hot air assembly 4 provides hot air, the overall temperature of the hot air assembly 4 increases. When the distance between the hot air assembly 4 and the water supply assembly 3 is close, the heated hot air assembly 4 can transfer heat to the water supply assembly 3 earlier, thus heating the clean water still in the water supply assembly 3 earlier. This further increases the heating time of the clean water, ensuring that the clean water reaching the cleaning sub-zone 1d has a sufficient temperature, and further ensuring its cleaning effect on the cleaning component 021.

[0061] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 As shown, the water supply component 3 and the hot air component 4 can be arranged adjacent to each other. This arrangement can further reduce the distance between the hot air component 4 and the water supply component 3, thereby reducing heat loss between them. This allows the hot air component 4, after its temperature rises, to transfer more heat to the water supply component 3, thus improving the efficiency of heating the clean water in the water supply component 3. This further ensures that the clean water reaching the cleaning sub-area 1d has a sufficient temperature, further guaranteeing its cleaning effect on the cleaning component 021.

[0062] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the water supply assembly 3 may include a water supply tank 31 and a water supply pipe 32. One end of the water supply pipe 32 may be connected to the water supply tank 31, and the other end may be used to supply clean water to the cleaning area 1b. The hot air assembly 4 may include a blower 41, a heater, and an air supply pipe 42. The blower 41 may be used to generate air to be supplied to the cleaning area 1b. The air generated by the blower 41 may pass through the heater, which may be used to heat the air generated by the blower 41 to generate hot air to be supplied to the cleaning area 1b. The hot air heated by the heater may be delivered to the cleaning area 1b through the air supply pipe 42.

[0063] In this embodiment, as Figure 5 As shown, the water supply pipe 32 and the air supply pipe 42 can be arranged adjacent to each other. Since the air in the air supply pipe 42 is heated air, the heated air will raise the temperature of the air supply pipe 42. Therefore, when the water supply pipe 32 and the air supply pipe 42 are adjacent, the heat from the air supply pipe 42 can be used to heat the clean water located in the water supply pipe 32. At the same time, since the water supply pipe 32 and the air supply pipe 42 do not occupy a large amount of space, arranging them adjacently will not cause mutual interference between them.

[0064] Furthermore, the water supply pipe 32 and the heater can also be arranged adjacent to each other. That is, when the heater is working, the heater itself will also generate a lot of heat. When the water supply pipe 32 is arranged adjacent to the heater, the heat generated by the heater can also be used to heat the clean water in the water supply pipe 32, thereby further increasing the temperature of the clean water that finally reaches the cleaning zone 1b.

[0065] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, the cleaning base station 01 may also include a cleaning tray 11, which may be disposed in the accommodating part 1a. The preheating sub-area 1c and the cleaning sub-area 1d may both be disposed on the cleaning tray 11.

[0066] For example, the cleaning tray 11 may include a tray body, with a preheating sub-area 1c and a cleaning sub-area 1d formed in different parts of the tray body. The cleaning sub-area 1d may be a trough-shaped structure, used to hold cleaning water. When the cleaning device 02 is docked at the cleaning base station 01, at least a portion of the cleaning component 021 is located above the cleaning sub-area 1d. The preheating sub-area 1c may be an inclined structure, with its height gradually decreasing as it approaches the cleaning sub-area 1d.

[0067] like Figure 6 As shown, the cleaning tray 11 may include a water collection section 111, which may be disposed between the preheating sub-zone 1c and the cleaning sub-zone 1d, and may protrude from the preheating sub-zone 1c. When the water supply assembly 3 supplies clean water to the cleaning zone 1b, the clean water supplied by the water supply assembly 3 will be preferentially intercepted by the water collection section 111 within the preheating sub-zone 1c, thereby increasing the time for the clean water to be heated by hot air in the preheating sub-zone 1c and increasing the temperature of the clean water. At the same time, when there is a large amount of clean water in the preheating sub-zone 1c, the clean water in the preheating sub-zone 1c will pass through the water collection section 111 and enter the cleaning sub-zone 1d. During this process, the water collection section 111 can guide the clean water that passes through the water collection section 111, so that the clean water entering the cleaning sub-zone 1d has a larger flow range, which can make the clean water in the cleaning sub-zone 1d evenly wet the cleaning component 021, thereby improving its cleaning effect on the cleaning component 021.

[0068] The water collection section 111 may include a water-retaining dam, which may protrude from the preheating sub-region 1c to block the clean water in the preset hot zone. When the clean water passes over the water-retaining dam, the dam can evenly guide the clean water to the washing sub-region 1d. However, it is not limited to this. The water collection section 111 may also include other structures with water-retaining capabilities. This disclosure does not impose any special restrictions on this, and the structure can be selected and set according to the actual situation.

[0069] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6As shown, the cleaning tray 11 may also include a weir 112, which can be located at the edge of the preheating sub-area 1c. The weir 112 and the water collection section 111 can form a water collection space. That is, the weir 112 and the water collection section 111 can jointly block the clean water entering the preheating sub-area 1c, so that the clean water in the preheating sub-area 1c can be contained within the water collection space, thereby preventing the clean water in the preheating sub-area 1c from overflowing from the edge of the preheating sub-area 1c and damaging other components of the cleaning base station 01, or preventing the clean water overflowing from the edge of the preheating sub-area 1c from damaging the cleaning equipment 02.

[0070] The height of the water collection section 111 can be lower than the height of the cofferdam 112. It should be noted that this means the distance between the upper surface of the water collection section 111 and the bottom surface of the cleaning base station 01 is less than the distance between the upper surface of the cofferdam 112 and the bottom surface of the cleaning base station 01. This arrangement ensures that clean water within the water collection space can only reach the cleaning sub-area 1d via the water collection section 111, and will not cross the cofferdam 112 to reach the outside of the preheating sub-area 1c. This further reduces the probability of clean water damaging other components of the cleaning base station 01 or the cleaning equipment 02.

[0071] In some embodiments, the preheating sub-area 1c is located at a higher height than the cleaning sub-area 1d. It should be noted that this means the distance between the surface of the preheating sub-area 1c and the bottom surface of the cleaning base station 01 is greater than the distance between the surface of the cleaning sub-area 1d and the bottom surface of the cleaning base station 01. This arrangement facilitates the entry of clean water from the preheating sub-area 1c into the cleaning sub-area 1c, and also prevents the preheating sub-area 1c from being too deep, thus avoiding the accumulation of excessive clean water within it.

[0072] The cleaning tray 11 located in the preheating sub-region 1c may have a water collection groove, the water collection space may be located within the water collection groove, and the sidewall of the water collection groove may be at least a partial weir 112. This arrangement can reduce the height of the water collection part 111 and the weir 112 protruding from the preheating sub-region 1c, and can reduce the height space occupied by the water collection part 111 and the weir 112, thereby minimizing the height space occupied by the cleaning tray 11.

[0073] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6As shown, the end of the cofferdam 112 furthest from the water collection section 111 can be the water inlet, through which clean water enters the water collection space. The dimension of the water collection section 111 in the first direction X can be larger than the dimension of the water inlet in the first direction X, where X can be the extension direction of the water collection section 111. This arrangement, by making the dimension of the water collection section 111 larger than the dimension of the water inlet in the first direction X, increases the flow range of clean water after passing through the water collection section 111, improves the uniformity of clean water entering the cleaning sub-area 1d, and thus ensures that the clean water in the cleaning sub-area 1d can evenly wet the cleaning component 021.

[0074] Furthermore, the cofferdam 112 may include two baffles 1121 disposed opposite each other in the first direction X, and the distance between the two baffles 1121 in the first direction X may gradually increase along the second direction Y. The second direction Y may be the direction from the water inlet to the water collection section 111. This arrangement allows the size of the water collection section 111 in the first direction X to be larger than the size of the cofferdam 112 in the first direction X, which can further improve the uniformity of the clean water after passing over the water collection section 111, and thus further ensure that the clean water in the cleaning sub-area 1d can evenly wet the cleaning component 021.

[0075] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the cleaning base station 01 may also have a drying mode. The drying mode can be used to dry the cleaning component 021 after cleaning, so that the cleaning component 021 can perform subsequent cleaning work as quickly as possible. At the same time, drying the cleaning component 021 can prevent the damp cleaning component 021 from growing bacteria or producing odors during storage.

[0076] The aforementioned hot air assembly 4 can also be used to provide hot air to the cleaning part 021 when drying the cleaning part 021, thereby drying the damp cleaning part 021 with the hot air provided by the hot air assembly 4. It should be noted that when the hot air assembly 4 is drying the cleaning part 021, the water supply assembly 3 stops providing clean water to the cleaning area 1b.

[0077] The hot air assembly 4 can have a first operating temperature and a second operating temperature, where the first operating temperature can be higher than the second operating temperature. The first operating temperature can be the temperature during cleaning of the cleaning component 021, and the second operating temperature can be the temperature during drying of the cleaning component 021. Since the hot air assembly 4 needs to provide hot air to the cleaning area 1b for a longer period during drying of the cleaning component 021, and the time it provides hot air during cleaning is shorter than the time it provides hot air during drying, reducing the temperature of the hot air assembly 4 during drying of the cleaning component 021 prevents the hot air assembly 4 from operating at a higher temperature for extended periods, thus avoiding a reduction in its service life. Simultaneously, it also prevents other components on the cleaning base station 01 and other components on the cleaning equipment 02 from being damaged by prolonged exposure to high temperatures.

[0078] It should be noted that the first operating temperature and the second operating temperature can be the temperatures of the hot air generated by the hot air assembly 4. Alternatively, the first operating temperature and the second operating temperature can also be the operating temperatures of the heater in the hot air assembly 4.

[0079] Furthermore, the hot air assembly 4 can have a first air supply speed and a second air supply speed. The first air supply speed can be greater than the second air supply speed. The first air supply speed can be the air supply speed when cleaning the cleaning component 021, and the second air supply speed can be the air supply speed when drying the cleaning component 021. Since the hot air assembly 4 needs to provide hot air to the cleaning area 1b for a longer period of time when drying the cleaning component 021, and the time for which the hot air assembly 4 provides hot air when cleaning the cleaning component 021 is shorter than the time for which it provides hot air when drying, the operating noise of the hot air assembly 4 when drying the cleaning component 021 can be reduced, thus avoiding the impact of prolonged high operating noise on the user and improving the user experience. In addition, when cleaning the cleaning component 021, using the hot air assembly 4 to provide hot air with a higher wind speed can improve the heating efficiency of the hot air on the clean water and / or the cleaning component 021, so as to ensure the cleaning effect of the cleaning base station 01 on the cleaning component 021.

[0080] This disclosure also provides a control method for a clean base station 01, which can be used in the clean base station 01 described above.

[0081] It should be noted that, as Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the specific structure and beneficial effects of the clean base station 01 have been described in detail in the above embodiments. Therefore, in this embodiment, the specific structure and beneficial effects of the clean base station 01 will not be described again. Please refer to the specific description in the above embodiments, which are all within the protection scope of this disclosure.

[0082] like Figure 7As shown, the control method for the cleaning base station 01 may include:

[0083] Step S10: Clean the cleaning components of the cleaning equipment in response to the cleaning command, wherein, when cleaning the cleaning components, the water supply component is controlled to supply clean water to the cleaning area, and the hot air component is controlled to supply hot air to the cleaning area.

[0084] Therefore, the clean water provided by the water supply component 3 can be used to clean the cleaning component 021, and the hot air provided by the hot air component 4 can be used to heat the clean water and / or the cleaning component 021 located in the cleaning area 1b, so as to remove the stubborn stains attached to the cleaning component 021 by using a higher temperature. This can improve the cleaning effect of the cleaning base station 01 on the cleaning component 021, so that the cleaning base station 01 can clean the cleaning component 021 thoroughly, and ensure that the cleaning equipment 02 can have a better cleaning effect when performing subsequent cleaning work.

[0085] like Figure 8 As shown, the control method for the cleaning base station 01 may further include:

[0086] Step S20: Dry the cleaned part in response to a drying command, wherein, while drying the cleaned part, the hot air assembly is controlled to provide hot air to the cleaned part.

[0087] In this way, the hot air provided by the hot air assembly 4 can be used to dry the damp cleaning component 021. This allows the cleaning component 021 to perform subsequent cleaning work as quickly as possible. At the same time, drying the cleaning component 021 can prevent bacteria from growing or odors from developing on the damp cleaning component 021 during storage.

[0088] In some embodiments, during step S10, when cleaning the cleaning component 021, the hot air assembly 4 can be controlled to switch to a first operating temperature. During step S20, when drying the cleaning component 021, the hot air assembly 4 can be controlled to switch to a second operating temperature. The first operating temperature is greater than the second operating temperature.

[0089] This configuration reduces the temperature of the hot air assembly 4 when drying the cleaning component 021, thus preventing the hot air assembly 4 from operating at high temperatures for extended periods and reducing its lifespan. It also prevents other components on the cleaning base station 01 and the cleaning equipment 02 from being damaged by prolonged exposure to high temperatures.

[0090] In some embodiments, during step S10, when cleaning the cleaning component 021, the hot air assembly 4 can be controlled to switch to a first air supply speed. During step S20, when drying the cleaning component 021, the hot air assembly 4 can be controlled to switch to a second air supply speed. The first air supply speed can be greater than the second air supply speed.
