Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] With the continuous development of cleaning equipment, floor scrubbers are being used more and more widely. Floor scrubbers use roller brushes to clean the ground. After the ground is cleaned, the roller brushes need to be dried to avoid water stains remaining on the roller brushes affecting normal use.

[0003] However, in existing floor scrubber base stations, the drying air outlet is generally located at the front of the base station. When the floor scrubber is placed on the base station, the air outlet blows air towards the scrubber's roller brush in a roughly horizontal direction. Since the roller brush of the floor scrubber is equipped with a protective roller brush cover on its periphery, the area of ​​the roller brush directly exposed to the outside in the vertical direction is very small. Only a small portion of the airflow output from the air outlet can reach the roller brush, resulting in low drying efficiency of the base station. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the present invention aims to provide a cleaning equipment base station that can improve the structural strength of the drying port and enhance the user experience.

[0005] The first aspect of this utility model provides a base station for a cleaning device, comprising: The base station body has a cleaning tank for holding cleaning components of a cleaning device. The base station body has an air duct, and the air outlet of the air duct is located on the wall of the cleaning tank. An active panel assembly is connected to the base station body and is located at the air outlet of the air duct. The active panel assembly is used to open and close the air outlet of the air duct.

[0006] Since cleaning equipment typically has a large downward exposed area for its cleaning components and a small horizontal exposed area, this application proposes a bottom-exhaust design to increase the direct drying area of ​​the airflow, thereby increasing drying efficiency. This design also considers the self-cleaning function of the cleaning equipment. During self-cleaning, cleaning water briefly accumulates in the cleaning tank to clean the components. To prevent water from flowing into the air outlet during self-cleaning, this application also incorporates a movable component assembly. This not only ensures efficient drying but also guarantees the safety of the air outlet. Compared to the normally open front drying port in existing technologies, this application allows the air outlet to be closed when the drying function is not in use, and opened when the drying function is in use. This reduces or eliminates the risk of debris entering the air duct, improving the user experience.

[0007] The base station has a self-cleaning mode and a drying mode. The base station is configured to cooperate with the cleaning equipment to clean the cleaning component in the self-cleaning mode and to dry the cleaning component in the drying mode. The movable plate assembly closes the air outlet in the self-cleaning mode and opens the air outlet in the drying mode.

[0008] In some embodiments, when the cleaning device is placed on the base station body, the cleaning component makes at least abutting contact with a portion of the wall of the cleaning tank, but there is no abutting contact between the cleaning component and the movable plate assembly. With this configuration, the supporting force of the cleaning component is borne by the cleaning tank, and the opening and closing of the movable plate assembly does not affect the force on the cleaning component, thus avoiding the risk of the cleaning device shifting and blocking the air outlet due to unstable force.

[0009] In some embodiments, the movable plate assembly includes a movable plate and a first drive assembly. One end of the movable plate is pivotally connected to the base station body. The movable plate is swayable relative to the base station body to open and close the air outlet of the air duct. The first drive assembly is connected to the movable plate to drive the movable plate to sway relative to the air outlet. There is no pressure contact between the cleaning component and the movable plate.

[0010] This setup allows the air duct outlet to be opened and closed by the swing of the movable plate. Furthermore, the opening angle of the air duct outlet can be adjusted by the swing angle of the movable plate relative to the outlet, thereby adjusting the air outlet angle. By continuously adjusting the air outlet angle, the convection area of ​​the cleaning components can be increased, thus increasing the drying efficiency.

[0011] In some embodiments, when the air outlet of the air duct is in the open state, one end of the movable plate is outside the air outlet of the air duct, and the other end is inside the air outlet of the air duct, so as to guide the airflow in the air duct along the movable plate.

[0012] With this setup, when the movable plate opens the air outlet of the air duct, the movable plate can guide the direction of the airflow, allowing the airflow used for drying to flow quickly to the cleaning parts, reducing airflow dispersion and improving the drying effect on the roller brush.

[0013] In some embodiments, when the air outlet of the air duct is closed, the movable plate smoothly transitions with the wall of the cleaning tank. This ensures the flatness of the cleaning tank surface and reduces or prevents the roller brush from wobbling after it is placed on the cleaning tank.

[0014] In some embodiments, the movable plate assembly includes a movable plate and a first driving component. One end of the movable plate is slidably connected to the base station body. The movable plate slides relative to the base station body to open and close the air outlet of the air duct. The first driving component is connected to the movable plate to drive the movable plate to move relative to the air outlet.

[0015] This setup allows the air outlet of the duct to be opened and closed by sliding the movable plate. Furthermore, the opening degree of the air outlet can be adjusted by sliding the movable plate, thereby regulating the amount of airflow.

[0016] In some embodiments, the base station body includes a housing component, the housing component having a cavity inside, the housing component including a first housing and a second housing, the first housing being connected to the second housing to form the cavity, the air duct being located inside the cavity, one side of the first housing serving as a bearing surface for a cleaning device, the cleaning tank being located in the first housing, and the air outlet of the air duct communicating with the cleaning tank.

[0017] This configuration utilizes the first and second housings to form a cavity for component installation, facilitating base station assembly.

[0018] In some embodiments, when the cleaning device is placed on the base station body, the air outlet of the air duct is located below the cleaning component of the cleaning device; the number of air outlets of the air duct is multiple, and the multiple air outlets of the air duct are arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the cleaning tank.

[0019] This setup allows for airflow to be directed to different parts of the roller brush via multiple air duct outlets, improving the efficiency and quality of roller brush drying.

[0020] In some embodiments, the air outlet of the air duct is provided with guide ribs, which are used to divert the airflow output from the air duct. When the air outlet is large, the air volume in different areas of the air outlet may vary greatly, which can easily lead to uneven drying. In this embodiment, the guide ribs can guide and divert the airflow, so that the output airflow can be blown onto the cleaning parts as evenly as possible, thereby improving the efficiency and quality of roller brush drying.

[0021] In some embodiments, when there are multiple air outlets and multiple movable plates in the air duct, the multiple movable plates correspond one-to-one with the air outlets of the multiple air ducts, and the first driving component can drive the multiple movable plates to open and close simultaneously.

[0022] In some embodiments, the base station further includes a baffle strip disposed around the outer edge of the cleaning tank, the baffle strip extending parallel to the extending direction of the cleaning tank, and the baffle strip serving to prevent airflow from overflowing from the air outlet. This configuration reduces airflow overflow from the air outlet, thereby improving drying efficiency.

[0023] In some embodiments, the cleaning component is a roller brush. When the cleaning device is placed on the base station body, the projection of the cleaning component directly below falls within the projection range of the cleaning tank directly below, so as to ensure that the supporting force of the cleaning component is borne by the cleaning tank. The projection of the side of the cleaning component between its lowest and foremost positions directly below the air outlet of the air duct. This configuration, by positioning the air outlet directly below the front half of the roller brush, allows the airflow to be directed towards the roller brush, improving the drying efficiency and quality of the roller brush.

[0024] In some embodiments, when the cleaning device is placed on the base station body, the extending direction of the cleaning tank is parallel to the axial direction of the roller brush, and the swing axis of the movable plate is parallel to the axial direction of the roller brush. This arrangement can increase the area of ​​the air outlet covering the roller brush, thereby improving the drying efficiency of the roller brush.

[0025] In some embodiments, a sealing strip is provided on the side of the movable plate that contacts the groove wall. This improves the sealing performance at the air outlet of the air duct, preventing residual water on the roller brush and external debris from entering the air duct when the movable plate closes the air outlet.

[0026] A second aspect of the present invention provides a cleaning system comprising: A base station, wherein the base station is the base station described in any one of the first aspects; A cleaning device includes a second drive assembly and a scraper. In the forward direction of the cleaning device, the second drive assembly and the scraper are located at the front side of the cleaning component. The second drive assembly is throttle-connected to the scraper. The second drive assembly is used to drive the scraper to extend downward or retract upward. The second drive assembly drives the scraper to extend and contact the surface to be cleaned or retract and separate from the surface to be cleaned.

[0027] In some embodiments, the base station has a self-cleaning mode and a drying mode. The base station is configured to cooperate with the cleaning device to clean the cleaning component in the self-cleaning mode and to dry the cleaning component in the drying mode. In the self-cleaning mode, the movable plate assembly closes the air outlet. In the drying mode, the movable plate assembly opens the air outlet, and the scraper extends to contact the base station body to block the airflow output from the air outlet from overflowing.

[0028] This setup allows the scraper to block the airflow from the air duct outlet, enabling the drying space to heat up quickly and improving the drying efficiency of the roller brush. Attached Figure Description

[0038] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0039] The cleaning device 300 referred to in this invention can be an automatic cleaning device 300 base station 100 such as a sweeping robot, a floor scrubber, or a window cleaning robot. Taking a floor scrubber as an example, and the cleaning component as the cleaning roller brush 13 mounted on the floor scrubber, the cleaning device 300 base station 100 provided in the first aspect of this invention will be described.

[0040] The first aspect of the present invention provides a base station 100 for a cleaning device 300, including a base station 100 body and a movable plate assembly 200. The base station 100 body has a cleaning tank 1012 for carrying the cleaning components of the cleaning device 300. The base station 100 body has an air duct 1002, and the air outlet 1013 of the air duct is disposed on the tank wall of the cleaning tank 1012.

[0041] See Figure 1 The base station 100 shown has a receiving space 1011 above its main body. This receiving space 1011 is used to support the main body of the cleaning equipment, and a cleaning tank 1012 is located within the receiving space 1011. The cleaning tank 1012 is not a strict tank, but rather a recessed area formed by a lower depression within the receiving space 1011 that matches the cleaning components. When the entire cleaning equipment is placed in the receiving space 1011, the cleaning components on the cleaning equipment are located within the cleaning tank 1012.

[0042] The air outlet 1013 of the air duct is located on the wall of the cleaning tank 1012. In other words, the air outlet 1013 of the air duct connects the cleaning tank 1012 with the air duct 1002. When hot air is blown out of the air duct 1002, the hot air can be blown into the cleaning tank 1012 through the air outlet.

[0043] The movable plate assembly 200 is connected to the base station 100 body and is located at the air outlet of the air duct 1002. The movable plate assembly 200 is used to open and close the air outlet 1013 of the air duct.

[0044] See Figure 1 As shown, the movable plate assembly 200 is located at the air outlet 1013 of the air duct. The position of the movable plate assembly 200 relative to the base station 100 body can be changed to open and close the air outlet 1013 of the air duct, thereby realizing the connection and disconnection between the air duct 1002 and the cleaning tank 1012.

[0045] When the cleaning device 300 is placed on the base station 100, the cleaning component makes pressure contact with at least part of the tank wall of the cleaning tank 1012, but does not make pressure contact with the movable plate assembly 200.

[0046] It should be noted that when the cleaning device 300 is placed on the receiving space 1011, the cleaning component can contact the bottom surface of the cleaning tank 1012, but there is a gap between the cleaning component and the movable plate assembly 200. In this way, the tank wall of the cleaning tank 1012 can be used to support the cleaning component, and the obstruction of the cleaning component to the movable plate assembly 200 when it moves can be reduced or avoided.

[0047] With this configuration, compared to the normally open drying port in related technologies, this application can close the air outlet 1013 of the air duct using the movable plate assembly 200 when the drying function is not in use, and open the air outlet 1013 of the air duct when the drying function is in use, thereby reducing or avoiding the risk of debris entering the air duct 1002 and improving the user experience.

[0048] In some embodiments, the movable plate assembly 200 includes a movable plate 3 and a first drive assembly 4. One end of the movable plate 3 is pivotally connected to the base station 100 body. The movable plate 3 can swing relative to the base station 100 body to open and close the air outlet 1013 of the air duct. The first drive assembly 4 is connected to the movable plate 3 to drive the movable plate 3 to swing relative to the air outlet.

[0049] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, taking the side of the air outlet 1013 of the air duct on the base station 100 body as the front and the opposite side as the rear as an example, the front side of the movable plate 3 is pivotally connected to the base station 100 body, the rear side of the movable plate 3 is pivotally connected to the first drive component 4, the front end of the first drive component 4 is pivotally connected to the base station 100 body, and the pivot point between the first drive component 4 and the base station 100 body is arranged forward relative to the pivot point between the movable plate 3 and the base station 100 body.

[0050] For example, the first driving component is a telescopic component such as a linear motor, a cylinder, or a hydraulic rod. For instance, the movable plate 3 is in the initial state when the air outlet 1013 of the air duct is closed. When the first driving component retracts, it drives the movable plate 3 to swing counterclockwise to open the air outlet 1013 of the air duct. Conversely, when the first driving component extends, it drives the movable plate 3 to swing clockwise to reset.

[0051] In some embodiments, when the cleaning device 300 is placed on the base station 100 body, the extending direction of the cleaning tank 1012 is parallel to the axial direction of the roller brush 13, and the swing axis of the movable plate 3 is parallel to the axial direction of the roller brush 13.

[0052] See Figure 1 and Figure 5As shown, the cleaning tank 1012 extends in the left and right direction, and the axis of the roller brush 13 also extends in the left and right direction. The movable plate 3 is provided with pivot shafts on the left and right sides, and the movable plate 3 is pivotally connected to the base station 100 body on the left and right sides.

[0053] When the first drive assembly 4 retracts, the movable plate 3 can swing around the pivot axis. This arrangement can increase the area of ​​the air outlet covering the roller brush 13 and improve the drying efficiency of the roller brush 13.

[0054] Optionally, a sealing strip 12 is provided on the side of the movable plate 3 that contacts the groove wall.

[0055] For example, see Figure 5 As shown, the sealing strip 12 is wrapped around the movable plate 3. The sealing strip 12 can be a rubber sealing strip 12, and the sealing strip 12 is detachably connected to the movable plate 3. The sealing strip 12 can seal the movable plate 3 and the tank wall, reducing or preventing external debris and water from entering the air duct 1002 through the gap between the movable plate 3 and the tank wall when the movable plate 3 is in the closed state.

[0056] This improves the sealing of the air outlet 1013 of the air duct, preventing residual water on the roller brush 13 and external debris from entering the air duct 1002 when the movable plate 3 closes the air outlet 1013 of the air duct.

[0057] The opening and closing of the air outlet of the air duct 1002 can be achieved by swinging the movable plate 3. Furthermore, the opening degree of the air outlet of the air duct 1002 can be adjusted by swinging the movable plate 3 relative to the air outlet, thereby adjusting the amount of air output.

[0058] In some embodiments, when the air outlet 1013 of the air duct is in the open state, one end of the movable plate 3 is outside the air outlet 1013 of the air duct, and the other end is inside the air outlet 1013 of the air duct, so as to guide the airflow in the air duct 1002 along the movable plate 3.

[0059] For example, see Figure 2 and Figure 8 As shown, when the movable plate 3 opens the air outlet 1013 of the air duct, the lower end of the movable plate 3 extends into the air duct 1002, and the upper end of the movable plate 3 extends into the washing tank 1012. The upper end of the movable plate 3 is located in front of the roller brush 13. When the airflow in the air duct 1002 blows from back to front, the airflow is guided towards the roller brush 13 by the movable plate 3, thereby improving the drying efficiency and quality of the roller brush 13. When the movable plate 3 opens the air outlet 1013 of the air duct, the direction of the airflow can be guided by the movable plate 3, improving the drying effect on the roller brush 13.

[0060] In some embodiments, when the air outlet 1013 of the air duct is in the closed state, there is a smooth transition between the movable plate 3 and the wall of the cleaning tank 1012.

[0061] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, when the movable plate 3 closes the air outlet 1013 of the air duct, the upper surface of the movable plate 3 and the bottom surface of the cleaning tank 1012 transition smoothly. In this way, the flatness of the cleaning tank 1012 can be guaranteed, and the shaking of the roller brush 13 can be reduced or avoided after the roller brush 13 is placed on the cleaning tank 1012.

[0062] In some embodiments, the movable plate assembly 200 includes a movable plate 3 and a first driving assembly 4. One end of the movable plate 3 is slidably connected to the base station 100 body. The movable plate 3 slides relative to the base station 100 body to open and close the air outlet 1013 of the air duct. The first driving assembly 4 is connected to the movable plate 3 to drive the movable plate 3 to move relative to the air outlet.

[0063] It should be noted that a guide rail extending in the left and right direction can also be opened on the inner side of the base station 100 body, and the movable plate 3 is locked in the guide rail. One end of the movable plate 3 is connected to the first drive component 4.

[0064] For example, in the initial state, the air outlet 1013 of the air duct is closed. When the first drive component 4 retracts, it can drive the movable plate 3 to move in the guide rail to open the air outlet 1013 of the air duct.

[0065] Of course, the movable plate 3 can also move in the front and back direction, or the movable plate 3 can be a flexible plate, the first driving component 4 is a roller, one end of the flexible plate is connected to the first driving component 4, when the first driving component 4 rotates counterclockwise, it drives the flexible plate to wrap around the first driving component 4, thereby opening the air outlet 1013 of the air duct, when the first driving component 4 rotates in reverse, it can drive the flexible plate to close the air outlet 1013 of the air duct.

[0066] With this configuration, the air outlet of the air duct 1002 can be opened and closed by sliding the movable plate 3, and the opening degree of the air outlet of the air duct 1002 can also be adjusted by sliding the movable plate 3, thereby adjusting the amount of air output.

[0067] In some embodiments, the base station 100 body includes a housing component 1, the housing component 1 has a cavity 1001 inside, the housing component 1 includes a first housing 101 and a second housing 102, the first housing 101 and the second housing 102 are connected to form the cavity 1001, the air duct 1002 is located in the cavity 1001, the cleaning tank 1012 is located in the first housing 101, and the air outlet 1013 of the air duct is connected to the cleaning tank 1012.

[0068] See you later Figures 1 to 3As shown, the first housing 101 is the upper housing, and the second housing 102 is the lower housing. The first housing 101 and the second housing 102 can be connected by a snap or bolt. The first housing 101 and the second housing 102 form a chamber 1001, and the air duct 1002 is located in the chamber 1001.

[0069] For example, see Figure 2 As shown, two partitions 14 are provided in the wall. The two partitions 14 are arranged at intervals in the left and right directions to form an air duct 1002 in the chamber 1001. The cross-sectional area of ​​the air duct 1002 gradually increases with the direction of airflow, so that the airflow can be better diffused, thereby drying different positions of the roller brush 13.

[0070] Furthermore, configuring the housing component 1 as the first housing 101 and the second housing 102 can also provide installation space for other components, which facilitates the integration of the base station 100 and the assembly of the base station 100.

[0071] In some embodiments, when the cleaning device 300 is placed on the base station 100 body, the air outlet 1013 of the air duct is located below the cleaning component of the cleaning device 300, and there are multiple air outlets 1013 of the air duct, which are arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the cleaning tank 1012.

[0072] See Figure 3 As shown, when the cleaning device 300 is placed on the base station 100 body, the air outlet 1013 of the air duct is located below the cleaning device. There can be two air outlets 1013 of the air duct. The two air outlets 1013 of the air duct are arranged alternately in the left and right directions, and the two air outlets 1013 of the air duct are arranged symmetrically in the left and right directions.

[0073] Alternatively, the number of air outlets 1013 in the air duct can be three, and the air outlets 1013 of the three air ducts can be arranged at intervals in the left and right directions. With this arrangement, air can be blown to different positions of the roller brush 13 by using the air outlets 1013 of multiple air ducts, thereby improving the drying efficiency and quality of the roller brush 13.

[0074] In some embodiments, the air outlet 1013 of the air duct is provided with a guide rib (not shown), which is used to divert the airflow output from the air duct 1002.

[0075] It should be noted that the guide ribs extend in the front-to-back direction or in the left-to-right direction. The guide ribs are located at the air outlet 1013 of the air duct. The guide ribs can be used to divert the airflow discharged from the air duct 1002, thereby increasing the airflow radiation area and ensuring that the airflow can better cover the cleaning parts, thus improving the drying efficiency and uniformity of the cleaning parts.

[0076] In addition, the upper surface of the guide rib is flush with the bottom surface of the cleaning tank 1012. In other words, the guide rib will not protrude from the tank wall of the cleaning tank 1012. This setting can reduce or avoid the guide rib from interfering with the cleaning parts, thus preventing the cleaning parts from being placed in the cleaning tank 1012.

[0077] For example, the flow guide rib can be integrally formed with the first housing 101. For instance, when the first housing 101 is a plastic part, the flow guide rib can be integrally injection molded with the first housing 101, thereby improving the structural strength of the flow guide rib.

[0078] In some embodiments, when there are multiple air outlets 1013 in the air duct, multiple movable plates 3 correspond one-to-one with multiple air outlets 1013 in the air duct, and the first driving component 4 can simultaneously drive multiple movable plates 3 to open and close at the same time.

[0079] For example, see Figure 1 As shown, the number of movable plates 3 is the same as the number of air outlets 1013 in the air duct, and the movable plates 3 and the air outlets 1013 in the air duct correspond one-to-one. For example, if there are two air outlets 1013 in the air duct, then there are two movable plates 3.

[0080] Multiple active boards 3 can be driven simultaneously by a first driving component 4, or multiple active boards 3 can be driven by multiple first driving components 4. When there are multiple first driving components 4, each of the multiple first driving components 4 corresponds to one of the multiple first active boards 3.

[0081] It should be noted that by setting multiple movable plates 3, the air outlets 1013 of multiple air ducts can be opened and closed, which can ensure the sealing of the air outlets 1013 of each air duct and prevent external debris from entering the air duct 1002. Using a first drive component 4 to drive multiple movable plates 3 to open and close simultaneously can not only reduce manufacturing costs, but also ensure the synchronicity of the opening of the air duct 1002, thereby ensuring the synchronicity and uniformity of drying.

[0082] In some embodiments, the base station 100 further includes a baffle 7 disposed around the outer edge of the cleaning tank 1012, the extending direction of the baffle 7 being parallel to the extending direction of the cleaning tank 1012, and the baffle being used to block the overflow of airflow output from the air outlet.

[0083] See Figure 1 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the baffle is located on the first housing 101 and is located in front of the cleaning tank 1012. The baffle extends in the left and right direction, and the extension dimension of the baffle in the left and right direction is greater than or equal to the dimension of the cleaning tank 1012 in the left and right direction.

[0084] When the cleaning device 300 is placed on the base station 100, there is a gap between the lower surface of the front side of the cleaning device 300 and the upper surface of the front side of the base station 100, and the height of the baffle is less than or equal to the gap, thereby avoiding interference with the cleaning device 300 when it is placed on the base station 100.

[0085] For example, the baffle can be integrally formed with the first housing 101. For instance, when the first housing 101 is a plastic part, the baffle can be integrally injection molded with the first housing 101, thereby improving the structural strength of the baffle. With this configuration, the baffle can reduce the overflow of airflow from the air outlet, allowing the area of ​​the cleaning tank 1012 to heat up quickly and improving drying efficiency.

[0086] In some embodiments, the cleaning component is a roller brush 13. When the cleaning device 300 is placed on the base station 100 body, the projection of the cleaning component directly below falls into the projection range of the cleaning tank 1012 directly below.

[0087] See Figure 7 As shown, when the cleaning device 300 is placed on the base station 100, the air outlet 1013 of the air duct is located below the cleaning component, and the cleaning component's projection is within the projection of the cleaning tank 1012. In other words, the cleaning component is completely placed within the cleaning tank 1012, and the projection of the side of the cleaning component between its lowest and foremost positions directly below covers the air outlet 1013 of the air duct. This ensures that the output hot airflow is directed directly at the roller brush 13, and that the airflow blown into the cleaning tank 1012 completely covers the roller brush 13, improving the drying efficiency and quality of the roller brush 13.

[0088] In some embodiments, a controller 9, a heating assembly 11, and a signal module 10 may also be installed inside the base station 100. The controller 9 is installed in the chamber 1001 inside the housing component 1 and is located on the rear side of the housing component 1. The heating assembly 11 includes a heating wire 111 and a fan 112, and the heating wire 111 is located downstream of the fan 112. In other words, the fan 112 generates airflow, the heating wire 111 heats the airflow to generate hot air, and the hot air enters the air duct 1002 and enters the cleaning tank 1012 through the air outlet 1013 of the air duct.

[0089] The controller 9 is connected to the heating component 11 and the signal module 10. The signal module 10 can be connected to the terminal, that is, the terminal can control the base station 100 through the signal module 10. For example, the terminal can send instructions to the signal module 10, and the controller 9 controls the heating component 11 according to the instructions.

[0090] A second aspect of the present invention provides a cleaning system comprising: Base station 100, base station 100 is any one of the base stations 100 in the first aspect; The cleaning device 300 includes a second drive assembly 5 and a scraper 6. In the forward direction of the cleaning device 300, the second drive assembly 5 and the scraper 6 are located in front of the roller brush 13. The second drive assembly 5 is connected to the scraper 6 to drive the scraper 6 to extend and contact the surface to be cleaned or retract and separate from the surface to be cleaned.

[0091] See Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the cleaning device 300 can be placed in the receiving space 1011 on the base station 100, and when the cleaning device 300 is placed on the base station 100, the roller brush 13 is located in the cleaning tank 1012.

[0092] The second drive assembly 5 and the scraper 6 are both located in front of the roller brush 13, and the scraper 6 is located behind the baffle. At this time, the movable plate 3, the scraper 6, the roller brush 13 and the first housing 101 form the drying space 8. The second drive assembly 5 is located inside the cleaning device 300, and the scraper 6 is located outside the cleaning device 300. The second drive assembly 5 can drive the scraper 6 to move up and down so that the lower end surface of the scraper 6 contacts or separates from the surface to be cleaned.

[0093] In some embodiments, when the cleaning device 300 is placed on the base station 100 body, when the movable plate 3 in the base station 100 is in the open state, the scraper 6 extends out and contacts the base station 100 body to block the airflow output from the air outlet from overflowing.

[0094] See Figure 7 As shown, when the movable plate 3 is in the open state, the air outlet 1013 of the air duct is opened, that is, the movable plate 3 opens the air outlet 1013 of the air duct. At this time, the lower end face of the scraper 6 contacts the upper end face of the base station 100 body, thereby forming the drying space 8. With this setting, the scraper 6 can block the airflow discharged from the air outlet 1013 of the air duct, so that the drying space 8 can be heated up quickly, thereby improving the drying efficiency of the roller brush 13.

[0095] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications or equivalent substitutions made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
