[0051] The optional embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0052] The maintenance station system for surface cleaning equipment includes main piles (hereinafter also referred to as piles) and accessory piles. The main piles are used to support the surface cleaning equipment, and the accessory piles are used to support the accessories of the surface cleaning equipment. The main piles and the accessory piles are detachable structures. How users can reasonably and conveniently set the position relationship between the main piles and the accessory piles according to the spatial position during use is the key to user experience.

[0053] An embodiment of the present application provides a maintenance station system for surface cleaning equipment, comprising: a main pile, configured to support the surface cleaning equipment, the main pile comprising: a tray portion, the tray portion having a first clip-on structure; a support portion, the support portion being located on one side of the tray portion; wherein the first clip-on structure is located on a side of the tray portion that is not opposite to the support portion; an accessory pile, configured to support an accessory of the surface cleaning equipment, the accessory pile comprising: a second clip-on structure, disposed on one side of the accessory pile, the second clip-on structure being configured to clip into the first clip-on structure so that the accessory pile is connected to one side of the main pile.

[0054] The maintenance station system for surface cleaning equipment provided in the embodiment of the present application provides a first clamping structure on three sides of the main pile, so that the accessory pile can be set on any side of the main pile through the first clamping structure, and the accessory pile can be installed in any one of the three positions according to actual usage needs, so that users can place the main pile and accessory pile as flexibly as possible according to their own usage needs and spatial environment, thereby improving space utilization and usage experience.

[0055] Specifically, an embodiment of the present application provides a maintenance station system for surface cleaning equipment. As an example, Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the maintenance station system of some embodiments of the present application; Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the main pile of some embodiments of the present application; Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of the bottom surface structure of the main pile of some embodiments of the present application; Figure 4 is a schematic diagram of the enlarged structure of the main pile A part of some embodiments of the present application; Figure 5 is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the accessory pile of some embodiments of the present application; Figure 6 is a schematic diagram of the enlarged structure of the accessory pile B part of some embodiments of the present application.

[0056] To more clearly describe the behavior of the self-cleaning maintenance station, as shown in Figure 2, the following directional definitions are provided: the main pile can be calibrated along three mutually perpendicular axes: the transverse axis Y, the fore-aft axis X, and the central vertical axis Z. The direction opposite the arrow along the fore-aft axis X is labeled "rearward," and the direction along the arrow along the fore-aft axis X is labeled "forward." The transverse axis Y is essentially along the width of the main pile, with the direction along the transverse axis Y arrow indicating the "left side" of the main pile, and the direction opposite the transverse axis Y arrow indicating the "right side" of the main pile. The vertical axis Z extends upward from the bottom surface of the main pile, with the direction along the vertical axis Z arrow indicating the "upper side" of the main pile, and the direction opposite the vertical axis Z arrow indicating the "lower side" of the main pile.

[0057] Specifically, as shown in Figures 1, 2, and 5, an embodiment of the present application provides a maintenance station system for surface cleaning equipment. The maintenance station system includes a main pile 100, which is configured to support the surface cleaning equipment, such as a handheld floor scrubber, mop, vacuum cleaner, etc. The main pile 100 includes a tray portion 110, and the tray portion 110 has a first clamping structure 111; the main pile 100 also includes a support portion 120, and the support portion 120 is located on one side of the tray portion 110; In which, the first clamping structure 111 is located on the side of the tray part 110 that is not opposite to the supporting part 120; the maintenance station system also includes an accessory pile 200, which is configured to support the accessories of the surface cleaning equipment, and the accessory pile 200 includes a second clamping structure 211, which is arranged on one side of the accessory pile 200, and the second clamping structure 211 is configured to clamp with the first clamping structure 111 so that the accessory pile 200 is connected to one side of the main pile 100.

[0058] In some embodiments, the tray portion 110 may be a structure whose projection on the ground is approximately circular, elliptical, rectangular, square, polygonal, etc., which is not limited to this. This embodiment is illustrated by taking a rectangle as an example. As shown in Figure 2, when the projection of the tray portion 110 on the ground is roughly rectangular, the first clip structure 111 is located on any side of the tray portion 110 adjacent to the support portion 120. As an example, for example, when one first clip structure 111 is included, the first clip structure 111 is located on the left side or right side of the tray portion 110 or on the side where the support portion 120 is located; when two first clip structures 111 are included, the two first clip structures 111 are respectively located on the left side, right side and any two sides of the side where the support portion 120 is located of the tray portion 110; when three first clip structures 111 are included, the three first clip structures 111 are respectively located on the left side, right side and the side where the support portion 120 is located of the tray portion 110, that is, as long as the first clip structure 111 is not located on the side opposite to the support portion 120, the first clip structure 111 can be located on any one side, both sides or three sides of the other three sides of the tray portion 110. The side of the tray portion 110 opposite the support portion 120 is used for loading and unloading surface cleaning equipment. Installing the first latching structure and placing the accessory holder on this side would hinder loading and unloading of the surface cleaning equipment. Furthermore, drying air is blown out from this side, and placing the accessory holder on this side would affect the airway arrangement of the tray portion.

[0059] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG3 , there are three first engaging structures 111, located on two sides of the tray portion 110 adjacent to the support portion 120 and on one side of the support portion 120. The first engaging structures are provided at three locations on the tray portion, allowing accessory piles to be installed on either side of the main pile via the first engaging structures. The accessory piles can be installed in any of the three locations based on actual usage needs, allowing users to flexibly position the main piles and accessory piles based on their needs and spatial environment, thereby improving space utilization and user experience.

[0060] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 3 and 4, the first engaging structure 111 includes a recessed portion 1111 formed along a side edge of the tray portion 110 toward the center of the tray portion 110. The first engaging structure 111 also includes a first engaging pattern 1112 formed in a predetermined shape within the recessed portion 1111. The specific shape of the first engaging pattern 1112 is not limited, and can be, for example, a convoluted structure, a long strip structure, a short strip structure, etc. The first engaging pattern 1112 has at least one hollowed-out portion to facilitate engagement with the second engaging structure.

[0061] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 4, the recessed portion 1111 is a semi-enclosed structure formed by first sidewalls extending in a vertical direction. The first engaging pattern 1112 is formed by multiple second sidewalls extending in a vertical direction. The sidewalls of the recessed portion 1111 and the first engaging pattern 1112 extend in a vertical direction to facilitate engagement with the second engaging structure.

[0062] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG5 , the second engaging structure 211 protrudes along a side edge of the accessory pile 200. The second engaging structure 211 has a second engaging pattern that cooperates with the first engaging pattern 1112 to achieve engagement. As an example, the second engaging pattern and the first engaging pattern 1112 form a male-female engagement, whereby the vertically extending sidewalls of the second engaging pattern coincide with the hollowed-out portions of the first engaging pattern. This allows the second engaging structure to be accommodated within the first engaging structure after engagement. For example, the second engaging structure can fill all or only partially fill the hollowed-out portions of the first engaging structure. This male-female engagement between the second engaging pattern and the first engaging pattern provides a more secure connection between the main pile 100 and the accessory pile 200, preventing them from falling apart. During use, the tray portion 110 is slightly lifted, and the second engaging structure 211 of the accessory post 200 extends into the position of the first engaging structure 111 below the tray portion 110. The tray portion 110 is then pressed downward, so that the second engaging pattern engages with the first engaging pattern, thereby connecting the accessory post 200 to one side of the main post 100. The user can connect the accessory post 200 to either side of the main post 100 according to the spatial orientation of the main post 100.

[0063] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 5, the accessory pile 200 also includes a storage tray 210, which is configured to store accessories of the surface cleaning equipment, and the accessories of the surface cleaning equipment include, for example, a dust collection basket, a roller brush, a brush head, etc.; the accessory pile 200 also includes a storage rod 220, which is located on one side of the storage tray 210, and the storage rod 220 is configured to store a brush head with an extension rod; wherein, the second clamping structure 211 is located on the side of the storage tray 210 opposite to the storage rod 220. The outer shape of the second clamping structure 211 corresponds to the shape of the recessed portion 1111 of the first clamping structure 111, so that after the second clamping structure 211 is clamped with the first clamping structure 111, the second clamping structure 211 is completely accommodated in the recessed portion 1111 of the first clamping structure 111, so that the edge of one side of the storage tray 210 is roughly in contact with the edge of one side of the tray portion 110. On the one hand, the stability of the accessory pile 200 after being connected to the main pile 100 is further guaranteed, and on the other hand, the neatness of the accessory pile 200 and the main pile 100 is also guaranteed.

[0064] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 6, the second clamping structure 211 has a second clamping pattern, which includes two edge side walls 2111 extending outward along the side walls of the storage tray 210, two central side walls 2112 located between the two edge side walls 2111, and a transverse side wall 2113 connected to the ends of the two central side walls 2112. The edge side walls 2111, the central side walls 2112 and the transverse side walls 2113 can enhance the hardness of the second clamping pattern and enhance the firmness of the connection between the accessory pile 200 and the main pile 100.

[0065] The maintenance station system for surface cleaning equipment provided in an embodiment of the present application includes a main pile with a first clamping structure and an accessory pile with a second clamping structure. By arranging the first clamping structure on three sides of the main pile, the accessory pile can be set on any side of the main pile through the first clamping structure. The accessory pile can be installed in any one of the three positions according to actual usage needs, so that users can place the main pile and the accessory pile as flexibly as possible according to their own usage needs and spatial environment, thereby improving space utilization and usage experience.

[0066] The accessory pile can store accessories of multiple surface cleaning equipment. The storage structure in the accessory pile usually has a fixed storage method, that is, a storage structure can only store accessories in one posture, and cannot allow users to change the storage posture of accessories through the fixed storage structure according to space needs, which affects the user experience.

[0067] This embodiment provides an accessory pile, including: a storage tray, configured to store accessories of a surface cleaning device; a storage rod, located on one side of the storage tray, configured to store a brush head with an extension rod, the storage rod including a first storage position, a second storage position and a third storage position; wherein, the first storage position and the second storage position realize a first storage posture of the brush head, and the first storage position and the third storage position realize a second storage posture of the brush head.

[0068] The accessory holder provided in this embodiment has three storage positions, which allow users to store the brush head with the extension rod in two different ways according to their needs. The first storage combination is that the brush head and the extension rod are kept in a basically vertical position, with the brush head part lying flat on the ground; the second storage combination is that the brush head and the extension rod are roughly on the same plane, with the bottom surface of the brush head roughly perpendicular to the ground. Compared with the first storage combination, it takes up less space and is more flexible. This application allows users to use two storage methods according to their own needs and space environment, improving space utilization and user experience.

[0069] Specifically, the present application is described in detail through the following embodiments, with reference to Figures 7-9, wherein Figure 7 is a schematic structural diagram of the first storage posture of the accessory pile; Figure 8 is a schematic structural diagram of the second storage posture of the accessory pile; and Figure 9 is a schematic structural diagram showing in detail the various storage positions of the accessory piles of some embodiments of the present application.

[0070] As shown in Figure 7, an embodiment of the present application provides an accessory pile 200, which includes a storage tray 210. The storage tray 210 is configured to store accessories of surface cleaning equipment, and the accessories of surface cleaning equipment include, for example, a dust collection canister, a roller brush, a brush head, etc.; the accessory pile 200 also includes a storage rod 220, which is located on one side of the storage tray 210 and extends in a direction approximately perpendicular to the storage tray 210. The storage rod 220 is configured to store a brush head 300 with an extension rod, and the storage rod 220 includes a first storage position 221, a second storage position 222 and a third storage position 223; wherein, the first storage position 221 and the second storage position 222 cooperate to achieve a first storage posture of the brush head 300, and the first storage position 221 and the third storage position 223 cooperate to achieve a second storage posture of the brush head 300. In the first storage position, the first storage position 221 engages the extension rod 310, and the second storage position 222 abuts the adapter portion 320 of the brush head. In the second storage position, the first storage position 221 engages the extension rod 310, and the third storage position 223 abuts the bottom surface 330 of the brush head. As shown in FIG7 , the first storage position is that the brush head 300 and the extension rod 310 are maintained in a vertical state, with the brush head portion lying flat on the ground. As shown in FIG8 , the second storage position is that the brush head 300 and the extension rod 310 are approximately in the same plane, with the bottom surface of the brush head substantially perpendicular to the ground. For example, the angle between the brush head 300 and the extension rod 310 can be placed at 150-180 degrees. Compared with the first storage combination, this configuration occupies less space and is more flexible.

[0071] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG7 , the first storage position 221 is located on a side of the second storage position 222 away from the storage tray 210; the third storage position 223 is located on a side of the second storage position 222 closer to the storage tray 210. That is, the first storage position 221, the second storage position 222, and the third storage position 223 are sequentially spaced from top to bottom along the storage rod 220, so that the roller brush can be stored in two different positions in pairs.

[0072] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG7 , the first storage position 221 , the second storage position 222 and the third storage position 223 are all located on the side of the storage rod 220 facing away from the storage tray, so that the brush head 300 with the extension rod can be easily placed.

[0073] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG9 , the first storage position 221 extends in a direction substantially perpendicular to the storage rod 220 away from the storage tray 210 . The first storage position 221 includes a storage arm 2211 extending in a direction substantially perpendicular to the storage rod 220 away from the storage tray 210 . The end of the storage arm 2211 is provided with a first arc-shaped storage structure 2212 . The first arc-shaped storage structure 2212 is configured to accommodate the extension rod 310 of the brush head. The storage arm 2211 is made of plastic or metal material, and the end of the storage arm 2211 is slightly elastic, which can facilitate the extension rod 310 to be clipped into the first arc-shaped storage structure 2212. Optionally, an anti-slip structure is provided at the inner edge of the first arc-shaped storage structure 2212 to more stably clip the extension rod 310 of the brush head.

[0074] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG9 , the second storage position 222 extends in a direction substantially perpendicular to the storage rod 220 in a direction away from the storage tray 210 . A second arc-shaped storage structure is provided at the end of the second storage position 222 . The second arc-shaped storage structure is configured as an adapter portion for accommodating the brush head. The adapter portion 320 is used to connect the extension rod 310 and the brush head 300 . The diameter of the adapter portion is larger than the diameter of the extension rod. When the brush head 300 is stored in the first storage position 221 and the second storage position 222 , the first storage position 221 engages the extension rod 310 , and the second storage position 222 abuts against the adapter portion 320 via the second arc-shaped storage structure, thereby accommodating the brush head 300 in the first storage position. Optionally, the second storage position 222 is composed of a horizontally extending storage plate 2221 and a support plate 2222 supported below the storage plate 2221 . The end of the storage plate 2221 has a second arc-shaped storage structure.

[0075] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 9, the third storage position 223 extends in a direction approximately perpendicular to the storage rod 220 in a direction away from the storage tray 210, and the plane where the end of the third storage position 223 is located is not parallel to the axis of the storage rod 220; for example, the plane where the end of the third storage position 223 is located is slightly tilted upward to more conveniently support the bottom surface of the brush head to keep it in a vertical state; for another example, the end of the third storage position 223 has an inclined plane, and the inclined plane is not parallel to the axis of the storage rod 220; optionally, an anti-slip structure is provided on the inclined plane.

[0076] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG9 , the third storage position 223 includes a support cavity 2233, which is surrounded by side walls 2231 that are roughly perpendicular to the storage rod; a reinforcing rib 2232 is provided in the support cavity 2233, and the reinforcing rib 2232 connects the opposite side walls of the cavity. The end faces of the side walls 2231 constitute the above-mentioned inclined plane, which is not parallel to the axis of the storage rod 220, so that the third storage position 223 supports the bottom surface of the brush head along a slightly upwardly inclined force angle; optionally, the end face of the side wall 2231 has an anti-slip structure. The reinforcing rib 2232 is used to increase the force applied to the third storage position 223, and its end face does not exceed the plane formed by the end face of the side wall 2231. When storing through the first storage position 221 and the third storage position 223, the first storage position 221 clamps the extension rod 310, and the third storage position 223 presses against the bottom surface 330 supporting the brush head through the inclined end surface to prevent the bottom surface 330 supporting the brush head from sliding down, thereby realizing the second storage posture of the brush head 300.

[0077] An embodiment of the present application provides a maintenance station system, which includes the main pile described in the above embodiment and the accessory pile described in any one of the above embodiments.

[0078] The accessory holder provided in the embodiment of this application has three storage positions. Through these three storage positions, users can store the brush head with the extension rod in two different ways according to their needs. The first storage combination is that the brush head and the extension rod are kept in a basically vertical position, and the brush head part is flat on the ground; the second storage combination is that the brush head and the extension rod are roughly in the same plane, and the bottom surface of the brush head is roughly perpendicular to the ground. Compared with the first storage combination, it takes up less space and is more flexible. This application allows users to use two storage methods according to their own needs and space environment, improving space utilization and user experience.

[0079] The pile (i.e., the main pile as described in the above embodiment) usually includes multiple heat-generating devices such as circuit boards. If a special heat dissipation structure is used to dissipate heat, it will not only increase the cost and the overall structure of the pile, but also affect the layout of the internal components. Therefore, it is necessary to reasonably arrange the internal structure of the pile to enhance its own heat dissipation effect.

[0080] An embodiment of the present application provides a pile (i.e., the main pile as described in the above embodiment), configured to support a surface cleaning device, comprising: a shell, comprising an air inlet and an air outlet; a fan, arranged in the shell, the fan comprising an air inlet and an air outlet; a device to be dissipated heat, arranged in the air flow path between the air inlet of the shell and the air inlet of the fan, and carrying away the heat of the device to be dissipated heat as the air flow flows.

[0081] The pile provided in the embodiment of the present application is provided with a fan, and the air flow enters from the air inlet of the fan. When the air flow flows to the air outlet, it will pass through the internal gap of the shell. In particular, when the air flow flows through the gap between the two main boards, it can take away the heat dissipated by the two main boards when working, thereby ensuring a good working environment for the main boards.

[0082] Specifically, the present application is described in detail through the following embodiments, with reference to Figures 10-13, wherein Figure 10 is a schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure of a pile in some embodiments of the present application; Figure 11 is a schematic diagram of the partially enlarged cross-sectional structure of a pile in some embodiments of the present application; Figure 12 is a schematic diagram of the partial back structure of a pile in some embodiments of the present application; and Figure 13 is a schematic diagram of the partial three-dimensional structure of a pile in some embodiments of the present application.

[0083] As shown in FIG10 , an embodiment of the present application provides a pile 100 configured to support and maintain surface cleaning equipment, such as a handheld floor scrubber, a floor mop, a vacuum cleaner, etc. The pile 100 includes a tray portion 110 and a support portion 120, wherein the support portion 120 is located on one side of the tray portion 110; the support portion 120 includes a shell 121, and the shell 121 includes an air inlet 1211 and an air outlet 1212. The air inlet 1211 is provided on the back side of the shell 121, and the air outlet 1212 is provided on the lower side of the shell 121; the support portion 120 also includes a fan 122, which is provided in the shell 121, and the fan 122 includes an air inlet 1221 and an air outlet 1222. The rotation of the fan 122 drives the airflow, which enters from the air inlet 1221 and flows out from the air outlet 1222. The support portion 120 also includes a heat dissipation device 123, which includes a first heat dissipation device 1231 (e.g., a first circuit board) and a second heat dissipation device 1232 (e.g., a second circuit board). The first heat dissipation device 1231 and the second heat dissipation device 1232 are provided with a shell to prevent dust or moisture from entering the shell. The heat dissipation device 123 is arranged in the air flow path between the air inlet 1211 of the shell 121 and the air inlet 1221 of the fan 122. As the airflow flows, the heat generated by the heat dissipation device 123 is removed from the surface of the heat dissipation device 123. The airflow path is shown by the arrow in Figure 10. This structure does not require any additional heat dissipation structure. The airflow entering the fan (called cold airflow before entering the fan) directly uses the airflow entering the fan (called cold airflow before entering the fan) to remove the heat from the heat dissipation device 123, thereby achieving the dual purposes of air intake and heat dissipation.

[0084] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG11 , the airflow path includes a first gap 1233 between the first heat dissipation device 1231 and the second heat dissipation device 1232. In some embodiments, the airflow path includes a second gap 1234 between the surface of the heat dissipation device and the back of the housing. In some embodiments, the airflow path includes gaps on both sides of the first heat dissipation device and / or a bottom gap 1235. That is, the cold airflow entering from the air inlet 1221 can flow along any one or more of the first gap 1233, the second gap 1234, the gaps on both sides of the first heat dissipation device 1231, and the bottom gap 1235. Depending on the power of the fan, the number of gaps through which the airflow flows is also different. These gaps all surround the first heat dissipation device 1231, and therefore, the heat dissipation effect on the first heat dissipation device 1231 is optimal.

[0085] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG12 , the geometric center of the air inlet 1211 is lower than the lower edge of the first gap 1233. In this embodiment, if the air inlet 1211 is circular, its geometric center is the circle; if it is rectangular, its geometric center is the intersection of its diagonals. By making the geometric center of the air inlet 1211 lower than the lower edge of the first gap 1233, it is ensured that no matter how large the air inlet 1211 is, airflow directly hits the surface of the first heat sink 1231. The airflow then spreads outward from the surface of the first heat sink 1231, flowing along the surface of the first heat sink 1231 toward any one or more of the first gap 1233, the second gap 1234, the gaps on both sides of the first heat sink, and the bottom gap 1235, thereby ensuring a heat dissipation effect for the first heat sink 1231.

[0086] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG13 , the pile 100 further includes a heating element 124 , such as an electric heating wire. The heating element 124 is positioned on one side of the air outlet of the fan 122 . The air in the airflow path exits the air outlet of the fan 122 , is heated by the heating element 124 , and then flows out of the air outlet 1212 of the housing. After passing through the fan, the cold airflow enters the heating element 124 and is heated, becoming hot airflow. The hot airflow is then blown toward the roller brush through the hot air channel 125 , completing the drying of the roller brush, as shown in FIG10 . In this embodiment, the preceding airflow of the drying airflow in the pile 100 before being heated is used as the cooling airflow. Before being heated, the cooling airflow is used to dissipate heat from the heat sink, completing the heat dissipation function. After passing through the heat sink, the cooling airflow is initially heated and then heated by the heating element 124 to become the drying airflow. The cooling process reuses the airflow from the drying airflow for heat dissipation, eliminating the need for a separate heat dissipation fan and conserving power consumption by the heating element 124. Similarly, the air path of the fan used for other functions in the equipment can also be reused, for example, the working airflow of the sewage recovery fan can be reused to dissipate heat from the heat dissipation device.

[0087] The pile provided in the embodiment of the present application is provided with a fan, and the air flow enters from the air inlet of the fan. When the air flow flows to the air outlet, it will pass through the internal gap of the shell. In particular, when the air flow flows through the gap between the two main boards, it can take away the heat dissipated by the two main boards when working, thereby ensuring a good working environment for the main boards.
