[0051] As floor scrubbers continue to expand their functionality, they are also equipped with some detachable extension accessories. These accessories lack dedicated storage structures, and their scattered placement affects the tidiness of the user's living environment. Furthermore, separately arranged conventional storage racks require users to additionally configure storage devices and space, and the unique structure of these extension accessories makes them difficult to securely store on conventional racks, inconvenient for users.

[0052] This embodiment provides an accessory storage module 100 for storing extended accessories of surface cleaning equipment (such as floor scrubbers).

[0053] Figure 1 This is a structural schematic diagram of an accessory storage module according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0054] like Figure 1 As shown, the accessory storage module 100 includes a storage module body 110 and a snap-fit ​​structure 120.

[0055] The main body 110 of the storage module is provided with accommodating cavities (such as the first accommodating cavity 140, the second accommodating cavity 150 and the third accommodating cavity 160) that open to the top, for accommodating the extension accessories 300 of the surface cleaning equipment.

[0056] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the connection between the accessory storage module and the base station body according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram showing the connection between the accessory storage module and the base station body according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0057] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the snap-fit ​​structure 120 is disposed on the main body 110 of the storage module and is used for detachable connection with the outer wall of the base station main body 200, which is compatible with the surface cleaning equipment. Through this snap-fit ​​structure 120, the accessory storage module 100 can be conveniently installed on the side wall, front wall, or rear wall of the base station main body 200, without taking up additional home space, thus solving the problems of scattered expansion accessories affecting environmental tidiness and the difficulty of securely storing them on conventional storage racks.

[0058] like Figure 3 As shown, the snap-fit ​​structure 120 includes a snap-fit ​​block 121, which is used to detachably snap-fit ​​with the snap-fit ​​slot 210 on the outer wall of the base station body 200. The mating structure between the snap-fit ​​block 121 and the snap-fit ​​slot 210 allows the storage module to be quickly installed and removed without the need for tools; the user can complete the operation with just one hand.

[0059] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the connection between the card block and the card slot according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the card slot according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0060] like Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the card block 121 further includes a block 121A, and the card slot 210 is provided with a slide 211 extending along the height direction of the base station body 200 and an installation opening 212 facing the bottom of the base station body 200. The block 121A can enter the slide 211 through the installation opening 212 and is detachably snapped into the inner wall of the slide 211. In the actual installation process, the user pushes the storage module from bottom to top, so that the block 121A enters the slide 211 through the installation opening 212, and then slides it upward to the predetermined position to complete the installation.

[0061] like Figure 1 and Figure 5As shown, the card block 121 further includes a connecting portion 121B, and the card slot 210 is provided with a clearance opening 213 facing the outer wall of the base station body 200. The projected size of the block 121A on the outer wall of the base station body 200 is larger than the projected size of the clearance opening 213 on the outer wall of the base station body 200, and the projected size of the connecting portion 121B on the outer wall of the base station body 200 is smaller than the projected size of the block 121A on the outer wall of the base station body 200. The connecting portion 121B cooperates with the clearance opening 213 to limit the card block 121 in a direction perpendicular to the outer wall of the base station body 200. Specifically, when the storage module is installed in place, the block 121A is located inside the slide 211, and the connecting portion 121B passes through the clearance opening 213 and connects to the block 121A. Since the size of block 121A is larger than the clearance opening 213, block 121A is blocked inside the base station body 200, thereby forming an effective limit in the direction perpendicular to the outer wall of the base station body 200, preventing the accessory storage module 100 from detaching from the base station body 200 when subjected to lateral force.

[0062] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the inner wall of the slide 211 is provided with ribs 214 extending along the height direction of the base station body 200. The ribs 214 are used to contact the block 121A. The ribs 214 form a raised strip-shaped structure inside the slide 211. When the block 121A slides along the slide 211, it only contacts the ribs 214, reducing the contact area and thus reducing the frictional resistance during the sliding process, allowing the block 121 to slide more smoothly along the slide 211.

[0063] like Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the inner wall of the slide 211 is provided with a locking hole 215, and the block 121A is provided with a buckle 121C adapted to the locking hole 215. The buckle 121C can elastically deform and is used to detachably engage with the locking hole 215, and limit the block 121 in the height direction of the base station body 200. When the block 121 slides upward along the slide 211 to the predetermined position, the buckle 121C automatically embeds into the locking hole 215 under the action of elastic restoring force, producing obvious tactile feedback, such as a "click" sound, to indicate to the user that it has been installed in place. The buckle 121C structure realizes position locking in the height direction, effectively reducing the risk of accidental slippage caused by vibration or external force, and improving the stability of the storage module during operation.

[0064] like Figure 4As shown, a gap 216 is further provided between the inner wall of the slide 211 and the latch 121C. The existence of this gap 216 allows the latch 121C to undergo necessary elastic deformation during insertion, avoiding assembly difficulties or structural damage caused by interference fit. At the same time, this gap 216 allows tools such as pry bars to be inserted, making it convenient to press the latch 121C and disengage it from the latch hole 215.

[0065] Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an accessory storage module in contact with the base station body through a support rib, according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0066] like Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, the main body 110 of the storage module has support ribs 130 at opposite ends of the locking block 121. The support ribs 130 include inclined surfaces 131 that slope upwards towards the center of the main body 110 of the storage module. After installation, the ends of the support ribs 130 abut against the outer wall surface of the base station body 200, forming auxiliary support points, enhancing the overall connection rigidity, and preventing loosening or warping caused by the weight of the expansion accessories or external collisions. The inclined surfaces 131 also help guide the alignment during installation, improving assembly smoothness.

[0067] Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of an accessory storage module for storing extended accessories according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0068] like Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the receiving cavity includes a first receiving cavity 140 and a second receiving cavity 150. The first receiving cavity 140 is used to receive at least a portion of the extension accessory 300. The second receiving cavity 150 is located at the bottom of the first receiving cavity 140 and is used to cooperate with a first protrusion structure 310 at the bottom of the extension accessory 300 to limit the first protrusion structure 310. The shape of the first receiving cavity 140 is designed according to the main part of the extension accessory 300, while the second receiving cavity 150 is specifically matched to the bottom shape of the accessory 300 to achieve axial limiting.

[0069] like Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, the receiving cavity further includes a third receiving cavity 160 located at the bottom of the first receiving cavity 140. The third receiving cavity 160 is used to receive the second protruding structure 320 at the bottom of the extension accessory 300. The third receiving cavity 160 and the second receiving cavity 150 are distributed together in the bottom area of ​​the first receiving cavity 140, and can be used to adapt to complex structural accessories with multiple bottom protrusions. The multi-point limiting design makes the bottom contour of the storage module fit the shape of the accessory more closely, improving the overall fixing effect.

[0070] Furthermore, a limiting protrusion 170 is provided at the top of the circumferential wall of the first receiving cavity 140. The limiting protrusion 170 is used to cooperate with the recess (not shown in the figure) of the extension accessory 300 to limit the extension accessory 300. The limiting protrusion 170 is provided at the opening of the first receiving cavity 140 and can be embedded into the corresponding recessed part (such as an annular groove, notch, etc.) at the top of the extension accessory to form a top constraint. This structure prevents the accessory from easily falling out when it is taken out or slightly touched, thus achieving limiting and significantly improving storage safety and reliability.

[0071] It is understood that the main body of the storage module may include multiple first accommodating cavities 140, second accommodating cavities 150, and third accommodating cavities 160, the specific number of which can be appropriately selected according to the actual number of expansion accessories 300 to be stored. For example, when a user has multiple functional expansion accessories, two or more first accommodating cavities 140 can be set on the same main body of the storage module 110 to achieve centralized storage of multiple accessories, improving space utilization efficiency and ease of use.

[0072] As the size of the accessory storage module 100 increases, the number of locking blocks 121, locking slots 210, and supporting ribs 130 can also be increased accordingly to ensure the stability and load-bearing capacity of its connection with the base station body 200. For example, in a wider or taller accessory storage module 100, two or more sets of locking blocks 121 and corresponding locking slots 210 structures can be arranged vertically or horizontally, and supporting ribs 130 can be added at opposite ends of each set of locking blocks 121 to form a multi-point fixed connection method, effectively dispersing the force, improving the overall installation rigidity, and preventing deformation or loosening caused by local stress concentration.

[0073] Furthermore, when necessary, the base station body 200 can also simultaneously install multiple accessory storage modules 100. Each accessory storage module 100 can be installed independently on different outer wall locations of the base station body 200, such as the left side wall, right side wall, front side wall, or rear side wall, without interfering with each other. Each accessory storage module 100 can be customized according to the specific structure and quantity of the accessories it stores. For example, for expansion accessories of different shapes, sizes, or weights, corresponding shaped receiving cavities, limiting structures, and connection strengths can be configured. This modular design allows users to flexibly add or remove accessory storage modules 100 according to actual usage needs, achieving efficient management of expansion accessories.

[0074] Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a base station system according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 9 This is an exploded view of a base station system according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.
