[0063] In order to better understand the above technical solutions, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be described in detail below by means of the accompanying drawings and the specific embodiments. It should be understood that the embodiments of this application and the specific features of the embodiments are detailed descriptions of the technical solutions of this application, rather than limitations on the technical solutions of this application, and the embodiments of this application and the technical features of the embodiments may be combined with each other without conflict.

[0064] As shown in Figures 1 to 8, according to a first aspect of the embodiments of the present application, a base station is proposed. The base station comprises a base station body 110, a tray hatch 120, a locking component 130, and a damping component 180. The base station body 110 includes a first housing space 111. The tray hatch 120 is rotatably connected to the base station body 110 to protect the first housing space 111. The locking component 130 is configured to lock or Unlock the bin hatch 120. The damping component 180 is connected to the bin hatch and the base station body.

[0065] The base station proposed in the embodiments of this application comprises the base station body 110, the bin door 120, and the locking component 130. The base station can be attached to a cleaning device, and the base station can store a main body of the cleaning device, for example, a sweeping robot. When there is no need to replace a dust bag in the base station or to clean the first housing space 111, the bin door 120 can be locked onto the base station body 110 by means of the locking component 130 in order to close the first housing space 111.In this case, the bin hatch 120 is presented as a flat surface, enhancing the cleanliness of the base station. The exterior surface of the bin hatch 120 can be adapted to the user's interior design style, making the base station more aesthetically pleasing. Furthermore, when it is necessary to replace the dust bag or clean the first housing space 111, the bin hatch 120 can be unlocked by the locking component 130, opening the bin hatch 120 so that the user can replace and clean the dust bag and thus clean the first housing space 111.

[0066] By means of the base station proposed in the embodiments of this application, the dust bag in the first housing space 111 can be replaced or cleaned simply by opening the bin hatch 120. The space required to open the bin hatch 120 is very small, which can reduce the opening and closing space and minimize the user's interior decoration space. Furthermore, the user can open and close the bin hatch 120 with one hand, making operation simple and providing a satisfactory user experience.

[0067] It should be understood that the base station proposed in the embodiments of this application is particularly suitable for an integrated cleaning device. For example, the base station can be held against a wall, a frame, or other furniture, and the dust bag can be replaced or cleaned with only a small degree of opening, so that the space occupied by the base station can be reduced, and the cleaning device can be completely concealed even when not in use, resulting in a good user experience.

[0068] According to the base station proposed in the embodiments of this application, by providing the locking component 130, the bin hatch 120 can be locked and the unintentional opening of the bin hatch 120 can be prevented, so that the user experience can be further improved.

[0069] It should be understood that, according to the base station proposed in the embodiments of this application, by providing the locking component 130, the bin hatch 120 does not need to be equipped with a handle, so the surface of the bin hatch 120 can be simpler and the bin hatch 120 can better adapt to the users' decorating style. Therefore, the base station is particularly suitable for use as an integrated base station.

[0070] As shown in Figures 10 and 11, according to the base station proposed in the embodiments of the present application, by providing the damping component 180, the damping component 180 can exert a reaction force on the bin door 120 during the bin door opening process in order to shift the gravity of the bin door 120, so that the bin door 120 can be opened slowly, and furthermore, the user can close the bin door 120 with less effort, which in turn improves the user experience.

[0071] As shown in Figures 2 and 3, in a possible embodiment, the locking component 130 comprises a male loop 131 arranged on the base station body 110 and a push-button switch 132 connected to the bin hatch 120. The bin hatch 120 closes the first housing space 111 when the push-button switch 132 is connected to the male loop 131.

[0072] In this technical solution, the structural composition of the locking component 130 is further proposed. The locking component 130 may include the male loop 131 and the push-button switch 132. The locking state of the locking component 130 can be changed by pressing the push-button switch 132. For example, if the push-button switch 132 is connected to the male loop 131, the push-button switch 132 can be unlocked from the male loop 131 by applying pressure to the push-button switch 132. In this case, the bin hatch 120 can be unlocked and the first housing space 111 can be opened. Furthermore, when the push-button switch 132 on the bin door 120 comes against the male loop 131 again, the locking component 130 can lock the bin door 120 and the base station body 110, and the bin door 120 can be closed.

[0073] In this technical solution, the locking component 130 includes the male loop 131 and the push-button switch 132, so that the user can control the opening and closing of the bin hatch 120 with one hand, which is more convenient for the user to clean and replace the dust bag.

[0074] In one possible embodiment, the locking component 130 includes an electromagnetic switch and an infrared sensor button. The infrared sensor button is arranged on the bin hatch 120, and the switch electromagnetic is arranged on the 120 bin hatch and / or the 110 base station body.

[0075] In this technical solution, the bin door 120 can be opened or closed by means of a touch control, and the locking component 130 can include the electromagnetic switch and the infrared sensor button. For example, when the bin door 120 is in the closed state, the electromagnetic switch can engage the bin door 120, so that the bin door 120 is locked; and when the user presses the infrared sensor button, the infrared sensor button can deactivate the electromagnetic switch, and the bin door 120 is unlocked, so that the bin door 120 can rotate away from the first housing space 111 in order to open the first housing space 111. In this way, the user can also control the opening and closing of the bin door 120 with one hand, which is more convenient for the user to clean and replace the dust bag.

[0076] As shown in [Fig. 3], an angle α in [Fig. 3] represents the maximum opening angle of the bin hatch. In one possible embodiment, the bin hatch 120 has a maximum opening angle of 50° to 150°.

[0077] In this technical solution, the range of opening angles of the bin hatch 120 is further improved, and the maximum opening angle of the bin hatch 120 is from 50° to 150°. Within the limits of this angle range, it can be guaranteed that the user can replace or clean the dust bag in the first housing space 111, the space required to open the bin hatch 120 is small, and the second housing space 112 positioned below the first housing space 111 for storing the main body of the cleaning device cannot be blocked, so it is convenient for the main body of the cleaning device to enter and exit.

[0078] It must be understood that when the maximum degree of opening of the bin hatch 120 is less than 50°, an open area of ​​the bin hatch 120 may be too small, complicating the cleaning of the first housing space 111 and the replacement or cleaning of the dust bag in the first housing space 111; and when the degree of opening of the bin hatch 120 is greater than 150°, an opening or closing stroke of the bin hatch 120 may be too large, complicating its use for the user; and furthermore, the open bin hatch 120 may block the second housing space 112 at the lower part of the base station, complicating the entry and exit of the main body of the cleaning device into the base station.

[0079] As shown in Figures 4 to 7, in one possible embodiment, the base station body 110 further comprises a second housing space 112 configured to store a functional device and the first housing space 111 is located on top of the second housing space 112. The bin hatch 120 is configured to rotate towards the second housing space 112 to open the first housing space 111.

[0080] In this technical solution, the base station body 110 may further include the second housing space 112, the second housing space 112 may be configured to store the functional device, the functional device may be the main body of the cleaning device, and the base station may perform cleaning, water replenishment, detergent filling and charging on the main body of the cleaning device.

[0081] In this technical solution, the bin door 120 is configured to rotate towards the second housing space 112 in order to open the first housing space 111. That is, the bin door 120 opens the first housing space 111 by rotating downwards. With this arrangement, the first housing space 111 can be opened over a larger area, while a small space is required to open the bin door 120, thus facilitating the cleaning of the first housing space 111 and the replacement and cleaning of the dust bag. The bin door 120 can be opened by gravity, so the user can open the bin door 120 with less effort, without other electrical devices, resulting in lower costs.

[0082] As shown in [Fig.1], in a possible embodiment, the base station body 110 comprises a first housing 113 and a second housing 114, the first housing space 111 is formed inside the first housing, at least a part of the second housing 114 is integrated into the first housing 113, and the second housing space 112 is formed inside the second housing 114.

[0083] In this technical solution, the structural composition of the base station body 110 is further proposed. The base station body 110 can comprise the first enclosure 113 and the second enclosure 114. The second enclosure 114 is connected to the first enclosure 113 in an integrated manner. An area between the first enclosure 113 and the second enclosure 114 can be used as the first housing space 111, and the second housing space 112 can be formed inside the second enclosure 114 to store the functional device. With this arrangement, the base station body 110 can be modularized, and different functional spaces can be defined, thus making the base station more reliable.

[0084] As shown in Figures 8 and 9, in one possible embodiment, the base station further comprises a rotating shaft support 140 and a rotating shaft 150. The rotating shaft support 140 is connected to the base station body 110, the shaft rotary 150 is arranged inside the rotating shaft support 140 and the bin hatch 120 is connected to the rotating shaft 150.

[0085] In this technical solution, the base station may further include the rotating shaft support 140 and the rotating shaft 150, the rotating shaft 150 is connected to the bin hatch 120, and then inserted into the rotating shaft support 140, so that the bin hatch 120 can rotate relative to the base station body 110, allowing the opening and closing of the bin hatch 120 in a more stable manner.

[0086] As shown in [Fig.9], in a possible embodiment, the base station further includes a first limiting component 160, the first limiting component 160 is formed on the rotating shaft support 140, and the first limiting component 160 is configured to limit the degree of opening of the bin hatch 120.

[0087] In this technical solution, the rotating shaft support 140 may further include the first limiting component 160. The rotating shaft support 140 is fixed relative to the bin hatch 120 during the opening or closing of the bin hatch 120. When the bin hatch 120 is opened to an extreme position, the bin hatch 120 may come to rest against the first limiting component 160, and the first limiting component 160 may prevent the bin hatch 120 from continuing to rotate relative to the base station body 110, and may thus limit the degree of opening of the bin hatch 120, thereby preventing the bin hatch 120 from blocking the second housing space 112 and further reducing the opening and closing stroke of the bin hatch 120.

[0088] It must be understood that the first limiting component 160 may include a projection formed on the rotating shaft support 140.

[0089] Furthermore, it must be understood that the degree of opening of the bin hatch 120 is limited by providing the first limiting component 160, so that the bin hatch 120 can be prevented from impacting other structural components during the opening process of the bin hatch 120, the generation of abnormal sound can be reduced and furthermore the collision between different devices can be avoided, thus reducing the failure rate.

[0090] As shown in [Fig.8], in one possible embodiment there are at least two rotating shaft supports 140, each rotating shaft support 140 is provided with a rotating shaft 150, or a rotating shaft 150 passes through the plurality of rotating shaft supports 140.

[0091] In this technical solution, there may be two or more rotating shaft supports 140 and the bin hatch 120 is fixed by means of the plurality of rotating shaft supports 140, so that loosening or falling of the bin hatch 120 can be prevented, thus extending the lifespan of the base station and reducing the failure rate.

[0092] In this technical solution, a rotating shaft 150 can be arranged inside each rotating shaft support 140. With this arrangement, the bin hatch 120 rotates through the plurality of rotating shafts 150 and the bin hatch 120 can still be opened or closed normally when some of the rotating shafts 150 have a failure, which reduces the failure rate.

[0093] In this technical solution, the same rotating shaft 150 can also pass through the plurality of rotating shaft supports 140. With this arrangement, the difficulty of processing the bin hatch 120 can be reduced in order to reduce the cost of the base station.

[0094] As shown in [Fig. 8], in some examples there may be from 2 to 5, preferably 3, rotating shafts 150, which can ensure the stability of the opening of the bin hatch 120 and make assembly more convenient. By providing a plurality of rotating shaft supports 140, the consistency of the opening angles of the bin hatch 120 can be guaranteed.

[0095] As shown in Figures 10 to 13, in a possible embodiment, the damping component 180 comprises a spring 181, a first support arm 182 and a second support arm 183. The first support arm 182 is connected to the spring 181, the second support arm 183 is connected to the spring 181, the first support arm 182 is connected to the bin hatch 120 and the second support arm 183 is connected to the base station body 110.

[0096] In this technical solution, the structural composition of the damping component 180 is further proposed. The damping component 180 can include the spring 181, the first support arm 182 and the second support arm 183. The first support arm 182 and the second support arm 183 are both connected to the spring 181. The first support arm 182 is connected to the bin hatch 120, and the second support arm 183 is connected to the base station body 110. On this basis, the first support arm 182 and the second support arm 183 can cause the spring 181 to twist when the position of the bin hatch relative to the base station body 110 changes. With the increase in the degree of opening of the bin hatch, the tension on spring 181 becomes greater, and a torsional force produced by spring 181 can also become greater.Based on this, the 120 bin door can be opened slowly, the noise generated when the 120 bin door is opened can be reduced, the impact sensation caused by the opening of the bin door can be eliminated, and furthermore, the 120 bin door can be opened with a better feel, so the user experience can be improved.

[0097] As shown in Figures 10 to 13, in one possible embodiment, the rotating shaft 150 is concentric with the damping component 180.

[0098] In this technical solution, the rotating shaft 150 is concentric with the damping component 180 and the damping component 180 can fit the rotating shaft 150. On this basis, the rotating shaft 150 can rotate relative to the spring 181 without interference between them, which can reduce the generation of abnormal sounds and noise, so that it is more comfortable to use the base station.

[0099] As shown in Figures 10 to 13, in one possible embodiment, the second support arm 183 is inserted into the rotating shaft support 140.

[0100] In this technical solution, in the case where the base station includes the rotating shaft support 140, the second support arm 183 can be inserted into the rotating shaft support 140 and then the rotating shaft support 140 is fixedly connected to the base station body 110, so that the second support arm 183 can be fixedly connected to the base station body 110. This arrangement facilitates the assembly of the damping component 180.

[0101] In some examples, the rotating shaft support 140 may be provided with an insertion hole. This insertion hole may be provided obliquely, and the second support arm 183 may then be inserted into the insertion hole. The spring 181 can provide the torsional force when the first support arm 182 and the second support arm 183 are moved relative to each other. Meanwhile, by providing the insertion hole, the probability of the damping component 180 loosening or falling out can be reduced, thus ensuring the operational stability of the base station.

[0102] As shown in Figures 10 to 13, in one possible embodiment, a walking surface 121 is formed inside the bin hatch 120, and the first support arm 182 is configured to come against the walking surface 121.

[0103] In this technical solution, the walking surface 121 is formed inside the bin hatch 120, and the first support arm 182 comes against the walking surface 121. On this basis, the fixing effect of the bin hatch 120 on the first support arm 182 can be increased, and the probability of misalignment of the first support arm 182 can be reduced, so that the bin hatch 120 can be opened more stably.

[0104] In a possible embodiment, there are at least two damping components 180.

[0105] In this technical solution, there may be two or more damping components. With this arrangement, the bin door can be opened more smoothly, and the greater the opening amplitude of the bin door, the lower the opening speed can be, so that the bin door can be opened more smoothly. Furthermore, the user can close the 120 bin hatch slowly and with less effort, which in turn improves the user experience. The bin hatch can still be opened slowly even if some of the 180 damping components fail, ensuring the stable operation of the base station.

[0106] In a possible embodiment, the base station further includes a dust bag and a box body 170, the dust bag is connected, in a detachable manner, to the base station body 110 and configured to be arranged inside the first housing space 111, and the box body 170 is arranged adjacent to the first housing space 111, and configured to house a cleaning liquid or water.

[0107] In this technical solution, the base station may further include the dust bag, and the dust may be collected by means of the dust bag. By detachably connecting the dust bag to the base station body 110, the user can remove the dust bag from the first housing space 111 when the bin hatch 120 is open, and the dust bag can be cleaned and replaced more conveniently.

[0108] In this technical solution, the base station may further include the box body 170. The box body 170 may be provided to house the cleaning fluid or water, and the main body of the cleaning device may perform the cleaning using water and / or the cleaning fluid during the cleaning.

[0109] In a possible embodiment, the base station further includes a second limiting component 115, and the second limiting component 115 is arranged on the base station body 110 to limit a degree of opening of the bin hatch 120.

[0110] In this technical solution, the base station body 110 may further include the second limiting component 115.
