Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of cleaning appliance technology, and more particularly to a base station and cleaning system. Background Technology

[0002] The cleaning system includes a base station and cleaning equipment. The cleaning equipment includes a main body and a dust cup mounted on the main body, with an openable and closable dust cup cover. When the cleaning equipment is docked with the base station, the main body rotates relative to the base station to place it on the base station, the dust cup cover rotates open, and the base station cleans the debris inside the dust cup using its self-collecting dust function.

[0003] In related technologies, a magnet is installed on the base station, and a metal plate is on the device body. When the device body is close to the base station, the magnet and the metal plate attract each other and are connected by magnetism.

[0004] However, the cleaning equipment is prone to falling off when subjected to vibration or external impact, and its stability is poor. Utility Model Content

[0005] This application provides a base station and a cleaning system to solve the problems of cleaning equipment being prone to falling off and having poor stability.

[0006] In the first aspect, the base station provided in this application includes a base and a locking assembly. The locking assembly includes two locking members, both of which are movably disposed on the base. The two locking members are configured to move relative to the base under the drive of a cleaning device that cooperates with the base, so as to jointly clamp or release the cleaning device.

[0007] In this way, when the cleaning equipment is used in conjunction with the base station, the two locking components clamp the cleaning equipment together, and the two locking components provide multi-directional physical constraints on the cleaning equipment, reducing the possibility of the cleaning equipment falling off and improving the stability of the cleaning equipment.

[0008] In one possible implementation, the base station provided in this application further includes a driving component, which is disposed on the base and configured to abut against the dust cup cover of the cleaning device when the cleaning device is engaged with the base, so as to drive the dust cup cover to open the dust cup of the cleaning device.

[0009] Thus, when the cleaning equipment works in conjunction with the base station, the drive unit can automatically open the dust cup cover, enabling the dust cup to dock with the base.

[0010] In one possible implementation, the base station provided in this application further includes a seal. The base has an interface for docking with the dust cup of a cleaning device. The seal is disposed on the base and surrounds the periphery of the interface. The seal is configured to seal the gap between the dust cup and the interface when the interface docks with the dust cup.

[0011] The interface allows dust from the dust cup to enter the base, which in turn collects the dust from the dust cup.

[0012] In this way, the seal comes into contact with the dust cup, which can seal the gap between the dust cup and the interface, so that the fan can blow the dust from the dust cup into the base.

[0013] In one possible implementation, the base station provided in this application also includes a cover, a dust collection chamber and an installation port communicating with the dust collection chamber are provided on the base, the dust collection chamber is communicating with the interface, and the dust collection chamber is used to collect dust from the dust cup.

[0014] The cover is movably mounted on the base and is used to close or open the mounting port.

[0015] Thus, when the interface connects to the dust cup, the dust collection chamber is connected to the dust cup via the interface, allowing dust from the dust cup to enter the dust collection chamber through the interface, avoiding frequent cleaning of the dust cup and improving ease of use. The cover is movably mounted on the base. When the cover closes the mounting opening, it prevents dust from overflowing from the dust collection chamber, maintaining environmental hygiene. When the cover is open, it allows the user to clean the dust collection chamber through the mounting opening, making operation convenient.

[0016] In one possible implementation, the base station provided in this application has a receiving groove on the base, and two locking members are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the receiving groove, which is used to accommodate part of the cleaning equipment.

[0017] The locking assembly also includes two elastic elements, which are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the receiving groove, and the elastic elements are connected to the locking element accordingly.

[0018] The two elastic members are configured such that when the cleaning device is close to the base and abuts against the locking member, it is compressed under the action of the locking member to allow part of the cleaning device to enter the receiving groove; when part of the cleaning device enters the receiving groove, it extends to bring the two locking members closer together to clamp the cleaning device together; when the cleaning device is away from the base, it is compressed under the action of the locking member to allow the two locking members to move away from each other to release the cleaning device.

[0019] Thus, the receiving groove is used for partially embedding the cleaning device, ensuring alignment and limiting the cleaning device with the base, reducing the possibility of displacement. When the cleaning device is close to the base and abuts against the locking member, the moving cleaning device applies a force to the locking member, which transmits the force to the corresponding elastic member. The elastic member compresses, and the two locking members move away from the cleaning device, i.e., they move away from each other, allowing part of the cleaning device to enter the receiving groove. When part of the cleaning device enters the receiving groove, the force applied by the cleaning device to the locking member decreases, meaning the force on the elastic member decreases. The elastic member releases energy and extends, causing the two locking members to move closer to the cleaning device, i.e., they move closer together to clamp the cleaning device. When the cleaning device moves away from the base, the moving cleaning device applies a force to the locking member, which transmits the force to the corresponding elastic member. The elastic member compresses, and the two locking members move away from the cleaning device, i.e., they move away from each other, releasing the cleaning device. Users only need to push in or pull out the cleaning device to complete clamping or release, improving efficiency.

[0020] In one possible implementation, the base station provided in this application has a plug slot on the base and a plug part on the locking member that can be inserted into the plug slot, and the extension direction of the plug part is consistent with the moving direction of the locking member.

[0021] And / or, the base is provided with a mounting part, the elastic element is sleeved on the mounting part, and the opposite ends of the elastic element abut against the base and the locking element respectively.

[0022] Thus, the extension direction of the insertion part is consistent with the movement direction of the locking part, ensuring that the locking part moves along a fixed path during movement and avoiding deviation or jamming. The elastic element maintains a tight contact between the locking part and the cleaning equipment through elastic preload. The elastic element stores energy after being compressed, and pushes the locking part back to its original position when the external force decreases or disappears, realizing the automatic clamping or release of the cleaning equipment.

[0023] In one possible implementation, the base station provided in this application has a locking member having an adjacent first guide slope and a second guide slope, one of the first guide slope and the second guide slope being inclined toward the other. The first guide slope is used to introduce the cleaning device into the receiving groove, and the second guide slope is used to lead the cleaning device out of the receiving groove.

[0024] And / or, the locking member is provided with a first stop portion, and the base is provided with a second stop portion, the extension direction of the second stop portion is consistent with the movement direction of the locking member, and the first stop portion moves along the extension direction of the second stop portion to limit the movement distance of the locking member.

[0025] Thus, the first guide ramp allows the cleaning device to slide smoothly into the receiving slot, reducing collisions or jamming and improving the user experience. The second guide ramp provides guidance during unlocking, preventing forced removal that could cause wear or damage to the cleaning device or locking mechanism. The first stop moves along the extension direction of the second stop, limiting the travel of the locking mechanism and preventing it from disengaging from the base or being over-inserted, ensuring that the locking mechanism always remains within an effectively lockable range.

[0026] Secondly, this application provides a cleaning system, including a cleaning device and any of the base stations provided in the first aspect, wherein the base station cooperates with the dust cup of the cleaning device.

[0027] In one possible implementation, the cleaning system provided by this application includes a body, a dust cup, and an air duct structure. The dust cup is connected to the body, and the air duct structure is rotatably mounted on the body. The air duct structure rotates relative to the body to switch between a first state and a second state.

[0028] In the first state, the air duct structure connects the dust cup to the air inlet of the fan in the machine body, so that dust enters the dust cup with the airflow.

[0029] In the second state, the air duct structure connects the dust cup and the air outlet of the fan to blow the dust in the dust cup into the base of the base station.

[0030] In this way, by rotating the air duct structure, it is possible to switch between the first and second states to achieve dust suction or dust cup cleaning of the cleaning equipment, which is convenient to operate and improves work efficiency.

[0031] In one possible implementation, the cleaning system provided in this application includes a dust cup cover, which is rotatably mounted on the dust cup, and has an abutment portion on the side of the dust cup cover away from the dust cup.

[0032] The contact part is configured to contact the driving component of the base station when the cleaning equipment is engaged with the base, and drive the dust cup cover to rotate and open the dust cup of the cleaning equipment under the drive of the driving component.

[0033] Thus, when the cleaning equipment is connected to the base station, the drive component drives the dust cup cover to open automatically through the contact part, realizing the connection between the dust cup and the base.

All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application. The embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0062] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or the internal communication between two components or the interaction between two components.

[0064] The terms "first," "second," and "third" (if any) in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a particular order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of this application described herein can be implemented, for example, in orders other than those illustrated or described herein.

[0065] Furthermore, the terms “comprising” and “having”, and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, system, product, or display that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units that are explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not explicitly listed or that are inherent to such process, method, product, or display.

[0066] In related technologies, a magnet is installed on the base station, and a metal plate is on the device body. When the device body is close to the base station, the magnet and the metal plate attract each other and are connected by magnetism.

[0067] However, the cleaning equipment is prone to falling off when subjected to vibration or external impact, and its stability is poor.

[0068] In view of the above problems, the base station and cleaning system provided in this application embodiment include a base and a locking component. The locking component includes two locking members, both of which are movably mounted on the base. The two locking members are configured to move relative to the base under the action of a cleaning device that cooperates with the base, so as to jointly clamp or release the cleaning device. In this way, the two locking members jointly clamp the cleaning device, and the two locking members provide multi-directional physical constraints on the cleaning device, reducing the possibility of the cleaning device falling off and improving the stability of the cleaning device.

[0069] The specific implementation methods of the base station and cleaning system provided in this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0070] Reference Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the base station 100 provided in this application includes a base 110 and a locking component 120. The locking component 120 includes two locking members 121, both of which are movably disposed on the base 110. The two locking members 121 are configured to move relative to the base 110 under the drive of a cleaning device 200 that cooperates with the base 110, so as to jointly clamp or release the cleaning device 200.

[0071] It should be noted that the cleaning device 200 includes a body 210 and a dust cup 220 disposed on the body 210. In this embodiment, the base station 100 is used in conjunction with the cleaning device 200. The base station 100 can cooperate with the dust cup 220 of the cleaning device 200 to collect the dirt from the cleaning device 200. The base station 100 can also cooperate with the body 210 of the cleaning device 200 to perform operations such as charging the cleaning device 200.

[0072] The cleaning equipment 200 can be a vacuum cleaner, floor scrubber, etc., and this application embodiment does not limit it.

[0073] Specifically, when the cleaning device 200 approaches the base 110 and abuts against the locking member 121, the moving cleaning device 200 applies a force to the locking member 121, driving the two locking members 121 to move away from the cleaning device 200, that is, the two locking members 121 move away from each other, so that part of the cleaning device 200 enters the clamping area of ​​the two locking members 121. When part of the cleaning device 200 enters the clamping area of ​​the two locking members 121, the force applied by the cleaning device 200 to the locking member 121 decreases, and the two locking members 121 move towards the cleaning device 200, that is, the two locking members 121 move closer to each other to jointly clamp the cleaning device 200.

[0074] When the cleaning device 200 moves away from the base 110, the moving cleaning device 200 exerts a force on the locking member 121, driving the two locking members 121 to move away from the cleaning device 200, that is, the two locking members 121 move away from each other to release the cleaning device 200.

[0075] Thus, compared to the existing technology where the base station 100 and cleaning device 200 are magnetically connected, the cleaning device 200 is prone to detachment and has poor stability. In this embodiment, the base station 100, when working with the cleaning device 200, uses two locking members 121 to clamp the cleaning device 200. These two locking members 121 provide multi-directional physical constraints on the cleaning device 200, reducing the possibility of detachment and improving its stability.

[0076] Furthermore, the two locking components 121 automatically clamp or release the cleaning device 200 under the drive of the cleaning device 200, making operation convenient and improving efficiency.

[0077] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the base station 100 also includes a drive unit 130, which is disposed on the base 110. The drive unit 130 is configured to abut against the dust cup cover 221 of the cleaning device 200 when the cleaning device 200 is engaged with the base 110, so as to drive the dust cup cover 221 to open the dust cup 220 of the cleaning device 200.

[0078] In practice, the dust cup cover 221 is rotatably mounted on the dust cup 220. When the cleaning device 200 is engaged with the base 110, the cleaning device 200 rotates relative to the base 110. Since the dust cup cover 221 is rotatably mounted on the dust cup 220, and the driving component 130 of the base station 100 abuts against the dust cup cover 221, the driving component 130 applies a force to the dust cup cover 221 to drive the dust cup cover 221 to rotate relative to the dust cup 220, thereby opening the dust cup cover 221. This allows the dust cup 220 to connect with the base 110, and the fan 211 can blow the dust from the dust cup 220 into the base 110 of the base station 100.

[0079] Thus, when the cleaning device 200 cooperates with the base station 100, the drive component 130 can drive the dust cup cover 221 to open automatically, realizing the docking of the dust cup 220 and the base 110. For example, the drive component 130 can be a protrusion.

[0080] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the base station 100 also includes a seal 140. The base 110 has an interface 111 for docking with the dust cup 220 of the cleaning device 200. The seal 140 is disposed on the base 110 and is arranged around the periphery of the interface 111. The seal 140 is configured to seal the gap between the dust cup 220 and the interface 111 when the interface 111 docks with the dust cup 220.

[0081] Interface 111 is used to allow dust from dust cup 220 to enter base 110, and base 110 is used to collect dust from dust cup 220.

[0082] In a specific implementation, the seal 140 can be a sealing ring, the base 110 is provided with an installation groove, the interface 111 is located in the area enclosed by the installation groove, and the seal 140 is snapped into the installation groove.

[0083] When the dust cup 220 is connected to the interface 111, the dust cup cover 221 is rotated open under the action of the drive component 130, and the sealing component 140 abuts against the dust cup 220, which can seal the gap between the dust cup 220 and the interface 111, so that the fan 211 can blow the dust in the dust cup 220 into the base 110 of the base station 100.

[0084] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the base station 100 also includes a cover 150, and a dust collection chamber 112 and an installation port 113 communicating with the dust collection chamber 112 are provided on the base 110. The dust collection chamber 112 is connected to the interface 111 and is used to collect dust from the dust cup 220.

[0085] The cover 150 is movably mounted on the base 110 and is used to close or open the mounting port 113.

[0086] Understandably, the dust collection chamber 112 is connected to the interface 111. When the interface 111 is connected to the dust cup 220, the dust collection chamber 112 is connected to the dust cup 220 through the interface 111. Thus, the dust in the dust cup 220 can enter the dust collection chamber 112 through the interface 111, avoiding the need for users to clean the dust cup 220 frequently and improving ease of use.

[0087] It should be noted that by providing an installation port 113 on the base 110 that communicates with the dust collection chamber 112, the installation port 113 serves as the maintenance entrance for the dust collection chamber 112, and the dust collected in the dust collection chamber 112 can be easily cleaned through the installation port 113.

[0088] The cover 150 is movably mounted on the base 110. When the cover 150 closes the mounting opening 113, it prevents dust from overflowing from the dust collection chamber 112, maintaining environmental hygiene. When the cover 150 opens the mounting opening 113, it allows the user to clean the dust collection chamber 112 through the mounting opening 113, making operation convenient. Exemplarily, the cover 150 can be rotatably connected to the base 110 via a pivot, or the cover 150 can be snapped onto the base 110. The cover 150 and the base 110 can also be connected in other ways, and this embodiment does not impose excessive limitations on these methods.

[0089] In practice, a dust collection bag can be installed inside the dust collection chamber 112. The dust collection bag is connected to the interface 111 and is used to collect dust from the dust cup 220. The dust collection chamber 112 can be cleaned by replacing the dust collection bag through the installation port 113, which is convenient and improves the efficiency of use.

[0090] It should be noted that, referring to Figure 7 As shown, the base 110 is provided with an air outlet 118, which is connected to the dust collection chamber 112 so that the airflow entering the dust collection chamber 112 can be discharged through the air outlet 118.

[0091] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, a receiving groove 114 is provided on the base 110, and two locking pieces 121 are respectively provided on opposite sides of the receiving groove 114. The receiving groove 114 is used to accommodate part of the cleaning equipment 200.

[0092] The locking assembly 120 also includes two elastic members 122, which are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the receiving groove 114, and the elastic members 122 are correspondingly connected to the locking member 121.

[0093] The two elastic members 122 are configured to compress under the action of the locking member 121 when the cleaning device 200 approaches the base 110 and the cleaning device 200 abuts against the locking member 121, so that part of the cleaning device 200 enters the receiving groove 114; when part of the cleaning device 200 enters the receiving groove 114, they extend to drive the two locking members 121 to move closer to each other to jointly clamp the cleaning device 200; when the cleaning device 200 moves away from the base 110, they are compressed under the action of the locking member 121 so that the two locking members 121 move away from each other to release the cleaning device 200.

[0094] It should be noted that the base 110 provides a stable mounting foundation for the cleaning equipment 200. By providing a receiving groove 114 on the base 110, which is used for partially embedding the cleaning equipment 200, the alignment and positioning of the cleaning equipment 200 with the base 110 are ensured, reducing the possibility of displacement of the cleaning equipment 200.

[0095] Specifically, when the cleaning device 200 approaches the base 110 and abuts against the locking member 121, the moving cleaning device 200 applies a force to the locking member 121. The locking member 121 transmits this force to the corresponding elastic member 122, causing the elastic member 122 to compress. The two locking members 121 then move away from the cleaning device 200, i.e., they move further apart, allowing part of the cleaning device 200 to enter the receiving groove 114. As part of the cleaning device 200 enters the receiving groove 114, the force applied by the cleaning device 200 to the locking member 121 decreases, meaning the force on the elastic member 122 decreases. The elastic member 122 releases energy and extends, causing the two locking members 121 to move closer to the cleaning device 200, i.e., they move closer together to clamp the cleaning device 200.

[0096] When the cleaning device 200 moves away from the base 110, the moving cleaning device 200 applies a force to the locking member 121, and the locking member 121 transmits the force to the corresponding elastic member 122. The elastic member 122 is compressed, and the two locking members 121 move away from the cleaning device 200, that is, the two locking members 121 move away from each other to release the cleaning device 200.

[0097] When the cleaning device 200 detaches from the base 110, the force exerted by the cleaning device 200 on the locking member 121 gradually decreases until it disappears, thereby gradually reducing the force on the elastic member 122. The elastic member 122 releases energy and extends to drive the two locking members 121 closer to each other, so that the two locking members 121 return to their initial state.

[0098] In this way, users only need to push in or pull out the cleaning device 200 to complete the clamping or releasing, improving the efficiency of use.

[0099] For example, the elastic element 122 can be a spring.

[0100] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 4 As shown, the base 110 is provided with a plug groove 115, and the locking member 121 has a plug part 1211 that can be inserted into the plug groove 115. The extension direction of the plug part 1211 is consistent with the moving direction of the locking member 121.

[0101] And / or, a mounting portion 116 is provided on the base 110, and an elastic member 122 is sleeved on the mounting portion 116, with the opposite ends of the elastic member 122 abutting against the base 110 and the locking member 121 respectively.

[0102] It should be noted that the extension direction of the plug-in part 1211 is consistent with the movement direction of the locking member 121, ensuring that the locking member 121 moves along a fixed path during the movement, avoiding deviation or jamming, and improving the accuracy and reliability of the operation.

[0103] It should also be noted that the elastic element 122 maintains close contact between the locking element 121 and the cleaning device 200 through elastic preload. The elastic element 122 stores energy after being compressed, and pushes the locking element 121 back to its original position when the external force disappears, thereby realizing the automatic clamping or release of the cleaning device 200.

[0104] In the specific implementation, refer to Figure 4 As shown, the insertion slot 115 can be disposed within the mounting portion 116, and the elastic member 122 is sleeved on the mounting portion 116, with the length of the elastic member 122 being greater than the length of the mounting portion 116.

[0105] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 4 As shown, the locking member 121 has an adjacent first guide slope 1212 and a second guide slope 1213, one of the first guide slope 1212 and the second guide slope 1213 being inclined toward the other. The first guide slope 1212 is used to introduce the cleaning device 200 into the receiving groove 114, and the second guide slope 1213 is used to lead the cleaning device 200 out of the receiving groove 114.

[0106] And / or, the locking member 121 is provided with a first stop 1214, and the base 110 is provided with a second stop 117. The extension direction of the second stop 117 is consistent with the movement direction of the locking member 121. The first stop 1214 moves along the extension direction of the second stop 117 to limit the movement distance of the locking member 121.

[0107] It should be noted that when the cleaning device 200 approaches the base 110, the first guide ramp 1212 can act as a guide, allowing the cleaning device 200 to slide smoothly into the receiving groove 114, reducing collisions or jamming and improving the user experience. The component force generated by the force decomposition of the first guide ramp 1212 can also push the locking member 121 to move, assisting the cleaning device 200 to automatically adjust its position and ensure quick clamping.

[0108] When the cleaning device 200 is away from the base 110, the second guide ramp 1213 provides guidance to prevent the cleaning device 200 or the locking element 121 from being forcibly pulled out, which would cause wear or damage.

[0109] It should also be noted that the first stop 1214 moves along the extension of the second stop 117 to limit the travel of the locking member 121, prevent the locking member 121 from disengaging from the base 110 or being over-inserted, and ensure that the locking member 121 is always kept within the range that can be effectively locked.

[0110] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 8 As shown, this application provides a cleaning system, including a cleaning device 200 and a base station 100, wherein the base station 100 cooperates with the dust cup 220 of the cleaning device 200.

[0111] The specific structure and operation of base station 100 have been described in detail in the above embodiments, and will not be repeated here.

[0112] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, the cleaning device 200 includes a body 210, a dust cup 220 and an air duct structure 230. The dust cup 220 is connected to the body 210, and the air duct structure 230 is rotatably mounted on the body 210. The air duct structure 230 rotates relative to the body 210 to switch between a first state and a second state.

[0113] In the first state, the air duct structure 230 connects the dust cup 220 with the air inlet 2111 of the fan 211 of the body 210, so that dust enters the dust cup 220 with the airflow.

[0114] In the second state, the air duct structure 230 connects the dust cup 220 and the air outlet 2112 of the fan 211 to blow the dust in the dust cup 220 into the base 110 of the base station 100.

[0115] In its specific implementation, the duct structure 230 includes a fan mounting bracket 231, a partition 232, and a connecting seat 233. The fan mounting bracket 231 is used to connect to the fan 211. The connecting seat 233 is connected to the fan mounting bracket 231 and is used to connect to the dust cup 220.

[0116] The connecting base 233 is provided with a first air duct 2331 and a second air duct 2332. The first air duct 2331 is used to connect with the outside environment or the cleaning system, and the second air duct 2332 is used to connect with the dust cup 220 of the cleaning equipment 200. The fan mounting bracket 231 is provided with an air inlet 2311 and an air outlet 2312. The air inlet 2311 is used to connect with the air inlet section 2111 of the fan 211, and the air outlet 2312 is used to connect with the air outlet section 2112 of the fan 211.

[0117] The separator 232 is disposed between the fan mounting bracket 231 and the connecting seat 233, and is rotatably connected to at least one of the fan mounting bracket 231 and the connecting seat 233. The separator 232 rotates relative to the fan mounting bracket 231 or the connecting seat 233 to switch between a first state and a second state.

[0118] In the first state, refer to Figure 10As shown, the separator 232 connects the first air duct 2331 and the air outlet 2312, and connects the second air duct 2332 and the air inlet 2311, so that the airflow enters the dust cup 220 and then sequentially enters the air inlet 2111 of the fan 211 through the second air duct 2332 and the air inlet 2311. In other words, it connects the dust cup 220 with the air inlet 2111 of the fan 211, so that dust enters the dust cup 220 with the airflow.

[0119] In the second state, refer to Figure 11 As shown, the separator 232 connects the first air duct 2331 and the air inlet 2311, and connects the second air duct 2332 and the air outlet 2312, so that the airflow from the outside or the cleaning system enters the air inlet 2111 of the fan 211 sequentially through the first air duct 2331 and the air inlet 2311, and is discharged from the air outlet 2112 of the fan 211 sequentially through the air outlet 2312 and the second air duct 2332 into the dust cup 220. That is, it connects the dust cup 220 with the air outlet 2112 of the fan 211, so that the fan 211 can blow the dust in the dust cup 220 into the base 110 of the base station 100.

[0120] Thus, by rotating the partition 232 of the air duct structure 230, the system can switch between a first state and a second state, enabling the cleaning device 200 to perform vacuuming or cleaning of the dust cup 220. This facilitates operation and improves work efficiency. In some embodiments, refer to... Figure 6 and Figure 9 As shown, the cleaning device 200 includes a dust cup cover 221, which is rotatably mounted on the dust cup 220. The side of the dust cup cover 221 facing away from the dust cup 220 has an abutment portion 2211.

[0121] The contact part 2211 is configured to contact the drive member 130 of the base station 100 when the cleaning device 200 is engaged with the base 110, and drive the dust cup cover 221 to rotate and open the dust cup 220 of the cleaning device 200 under the drive of the drive member 130.

[0122] The body 210 contains a fan chamber, and a fan 211 is disposed within the fan chamber. When the fan 211 operates, it creates a negative pressure zone within the fan chamber, thereby driving the external airflow and forming a negative pressure airflow, which can be used for dust collection. Specifically, when the cleaning device 200 cleans the surface to be cleaned, dirt enters the dust cup 220 along with the airflow. Cyclone separation occurs within the dust cup 220 to separate the dirt from the airflow. The dirt settles within the dust cup 220, while the airflow continues to flow towards the fan 211, completing the airflow circulation.

[0123] The dust cup 220 has a dust discharge port and a dust cup cover 221 that is rotatably connected to the dust cup 220. The dust cup cover 221 rotates relative to the dust cup 220 to open or close the dust discharge port of the dust cup 220.

[0124] When the cleaning equipment 200 is operating alone, the dust cup cover 221 closes the dust discharge port of the dust cup 220.

[0125] When the cleaning device 200 is engaged with the base 110, the body 210 rotates relative to the base 110. Since the dust cup 220 is mounted on the body 210, the body 210 drives the dust cup 220 to rotate relative to the base 110. Furthermore, since the dust cup cover 221 is rotatably mounted on the dust cup 220, and the drive unit 130 of the base station 100 abuts against the contact portion 2211 on the dust cup cover 221, the drive unit 130 applies a force to the contact portion 2211 to drive the dust cup cover 221 to rotate relative to the dust cup 220, thus opening the dust cup cover 221. This allows the dust outlet of the dust cup 220 to connect with the base 110, and the fan 211 can blow the dust from the dust cup 220 into the base 110 of the base station 100.

[0126] Thus, when the cleaning device 200 docks with the base station 100, the drive unit 130 drives the dust cup cover 221 to open automatically via the abutment part 2211, thereby docking the dust cup 220 with the base 110. For example, the abutment part 2211 can be a protrusion extending from the dust cup cover 221.

[0127] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and are not intended to limit them. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application.
