[0033] For a better understanding of the above-mentioned technical solutions, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present utility model are described in detail below by means of the accompanying drawings and the specific embodiments. It should be understood that the embodiments of the present utility model and the specific features in the embodiments provide a detailed description of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present utility model, without imposing any limitation on the technical solutions of the present utility model. The embodiments of the present utility model and the technical features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0034] In the present model, considering that a sweeping robot needs to return to a base station for charging a cleaning component on the sweeping robot after working for a certain period of time, the temperature of the sweeping robot may increase during charging. Especially for an integrated base station, the heat dissipation efficiency is so low that the temperature of the battery of the sweeping robot is likely to increase to the point of triggering a thermal protection threshold of the battery, resulting in a prolonged charging time.

[0035] As shown in [Fig.l] to [Fig.6], in [Fig.3], an arrow indicating an outlet via a central portion shows a heat dissipation path, and an arrow indicating an outlet via a side surface of a base station body shows a drying path.

On this basis, with the arrangement of the elastic component 140, the vibrations produced by the heat dissipation assembly 120 during operation may be damped to facilitate noise reduction and improve user experience.

[0039] It can be understood that the elastic component 140 may be made of a soft rubber material. For example, the elastic component 140 made of a soft rubber material is threaded onto the heat dissipation assembly 120, which is then connected to the base station body 110, so that the effect of damping vibration and thus reducing noise can be achieved by means of the elastic component 140.

[0040] It can be understood that the elastic component 140 can also be made of foam material, and can thus act to dampen vibrations, thereby achieving the noise reduction effect.

[0041] As shown in [Fig.3], in one possible embodiment, the heat dissipation assembly 120 is disposed on the central portion of the base station body 110 to dissipate heat from the storage space via the central portion of the base station body 110.

[0044] In this technical solution, the structural composition of the heat dissipation assembly 120 is further provided, where the heat dissipation assembly 120 may include the first air supply component 121 and the first guide component 122. On this basis, when heat dissipation is to be performed on the body of the cleaning system, the first air supply component 121 may be activated to produce an airflow and supply it to the storage space by means of the first guide component 122. On this basis, heat dissipation can be performed on the body of the cleaning system by means of the airflow to improve the heat dissipation efficiency.

[0045] It can be understood that the first air supply component 121 can be connected to the body of the base station 110 by means of the elastic component 140. In such an arrangement, vibrations produced by the first air supply component 121 during operation can be damped to reduce noise.

[0049] In the base station provided by the embodiment of the present utility model, the heat dissipation path of the heat dissipation assembly 120 is different from the drying path of the drying assembly 130. That is, the heat dissipation path and the drying path can be arranged separately without mutual influence.

On this basis, the heat dissipation path of the heat dissipation assembly 120 can avoid the drying path of the drying assembly 130, so that the charging efficiency of the electric storage module can be guaranteed as much as possible while ensuring the drying efficiency.

[0051] As shown in [Fig.3] to [Fig.6], in one possible embodiment, the drying assembly 130 is disposed on the side surface of the base station body 110 to dry the cleaning component via the side surface of the base station body 110.

[0052] In this technical solution, the arrangement position of the drying assembly 130 is further provided, where the drying assembly 130 is arranged on the side surface of the base station body 110. That is, the drying assembly 130 is closer to the edge of the base station than the heat dissipation assembly 120. On this basis, the heat energy generated by the drying assembly 130 can be supplied to the cleaning system body via the side portion of the base station body 110, and the heat energy can be transmitted to the bottom of the cleaning system body via the side portion of the base station body 110, thereby facilitating the supply of heat to the cleaning component of the cleaning system body.At the same time, in combination with the arrangement of the heat dissipation assembly 120 on the central part of the base station body 110, the heat dissipation path of the heat dissipation assembly 120 and the drying path of the drying assembly 130 avoid each other, so that the drying effect of the cleaning component can be ensured while reducing the temperature of the cleaning system body.

[0053] As shown in [Fig.3] to [Fig.6], in one possible embodiment, the drying assembly 130 comprises: a heating component connected to the body of the base station 110; a second air supply component 131 connected to the base station body 110; and a second guide component 132, which is connected to the outlet end of the second air supply component 131 and has an outlet end communicating with the storage space to transmit the thermal energy generated by the heating component to the storage space.

[0054] In this technical solution, the structural composition of the drying assembly 130 is further provided, where the drying assembly 130 may include the heating component, the second air supply component 131 and the second guide component 132. When drying is to be performed on the cleaning component of the cleaning system body, the heating component and the second air supply component 131 may be activated, and the second air supply component 131 may transmit the heat energy generated by the heating component to the cleaning component of the cleaning system body in the form of airflow, so that the cleaning component may be heated for moisture evaporation to achieve drying of the cleaning component.

[0055] As shown in [Fig.3] to [Fig.5], in one possible embodiment, the base station further comprises: a ramp 150 disposed in the storage space; and a cleaning disk 160. Here, the outlet end of the heat dissipation assembly 120 is directed toward the top of the ramp 150, and the outlet end of the drying assembly 130 is directed toward the cleaning disk 160.

[0056] In this technical solution, the base station may further comprise the ramp 150 and the cleaning component. On this basis, with the arrangement of the ramp 150, the cleaning system body can be guided to facilitate the return and exit of the cleaning system body from the storage space, and with the arrangement of the cleaning disc 160, the cleaning component of the cleaning system body can be cleaned.

[0057] In this technical solution, the outlet end of the drying assembly 130 is directed towards the cleaning disc 160. On this basis, thermal energy can be used to dry the cleaning component on the cleaning disc 160.

When it is not necessary for the cleaning system body to operate, the storage space may be closed with the arrangement of the cabin door 170, so that the base station can obtain a flat outer surface with better aesthetics, and at the same time, the probability of debris intrusion into the storage space may be reduced. This is particularly suitable for an integrated base station, in which case the outer surface of the base station may be suitable for the user's interior decoration style, making the base station more aesthetic.

[0060] In one possible embodiment, the base station further comprises: a sensor for acquiring the temperature of the storage space; and a processor, which is connected to the sensor and the heat dissipation assembly 120 and is used to control the activation and deactivation of the heat dissipation assembly 120 according to the inspection result of the sensor.

[0061] In this technical solution, the base station may further comprise the sensor and the processor. On this basis, the temperature in the storage space may be detected by means of the sensor during a working process, and the processor may acquire a detection result of the sensor to determine, according to the detection result of the sensor, whether the heat dissipation assembly 120 is activated, so that the heat dissipation assembly 120 may be automatically activated, enabling more convenient and faster operation of the base station.

[0062] It can be understood that, during practical use, a temperature threshold can be set for the processor. If the processor acquires that the detection result of the sensor exceeds the temperature threshold, this indicates a high temperature in the storage space, in which case the heat dissipation assembly 120 can be activated by the processor to dissipate heat from the body of the cleaning system into the storage space by means of the heat dissipation assembly 120.

[0063] It can be understood that the present model establishes a connection relationship between the sensor, the processor and the heat dissipation assembly 120, based on which the heat dissipation assembly 120 can be automatically controlled to be turned on or off depending on the temperature of the storage space.

During use, after the cleaning system body returns to the storage space and the base station body 110 completes cleaning the cleaning component of the cleaning system body, the drying assembly 130 can be activated to provide thermal energy to the storage space to promote evaporation of moisture from the cleaning component, so that drying of the cleaning component is achieved.
