[0065] For a better understanding of the technical solutions mentioned above, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application are 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 in the embodiments provide a detailed description of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application, rather than imposing a limit on the technical solutions of this application. The embodiments of this application and the technical features in the embodiments may be combined without conflict.

[0066] In the related art, a snap-on bin door assembly is used to close the dust collection bin of a base station, in order to make a sweeping robot more aesthetically pleasing. However, during use, the negative pressure of the dust collection bin acts directly on the bin door assembly, which can lead to false opening, difficulty opening, or even deformation of the bin door assembly, resulting in a compromised user experience. In another related art, the dust collection bin's bin door assembly can be removed as a whole, but only through a series of steps performed by a user during use, including: first, holding and Remove the bin hatch assembly with both hands, then place it on the floor, and finally replace the component (such as the dust bag or cleaning fluid container) that needs replacing. For the user, this removal process is cumbersome and inconvenient. In the related field described above, there are high manufacturing requirements for the parts and components. Problems such as dimensional errors in the parts and components, or improper installation by the user, can lead to insufficient airtightness (insufficient negative pressure), resulting in dust collection failure. This seriously impacts the user experience and can even lead to debris accumulation in the dust collection line, ultimately causing the base station's dust collection function to fail.

[0067] Based on this, as shown in Figures 1 to 14, a base station is proposed according to the first aspect of the embodiments of the present application. The base station comprises: a base station body 110 including a dust collection bin; a bin door assembly 120 comprising a first door body 121 and a second door body 122 connected to the first door body and used to close the dust collection bin; and a tension component 140 connected to the first door body 121 and the second door body 122. In a case where the bin door assembly 120 covers the base station body 110, the tension component 140 applies a tension to the second door body 122 to cause the second door body to cover the dust collection bin.

[0068] As shown in Figures 1 to 5, the base station proposed by the embodiment of this application comprises the base station body 110, the bin hatch assembly 120, and the tensioning component 140. The bin hatch assembly 120 comprises the first hatch body 121 and the second hatch body 122. During use, the base station can house a cleaning device body, such as a sweeping robot. When there is no need to replace the base station's dust bag or add a cleaner, the bin hatch assembly 120 can be locked onto the base station body 110 to close the dust collection bin. In this case, the bin hatch assembly 120 presents a flat surface, making the base station cleaner and more aesthetically pleasing.In addition, when it is necessary to replace the dust bag or clean the dust collection bin, the bin hatch assembly 120 can be unlocked, and then the user can replace the dust bag and / or add the cleaner.

[0069] In the base station proposed by the embodiment of this application, when the dust collection bin is closed by means of the hatch assembly From bin 120, the tension component 140 can apply tension to the second hatch body 122, so that when the first hatch body 121 is closed, the second hatch body 122 can cover the dust collection bin; and when dust collection is carried out under negative pressure in the base station, the negative pressure acts on the second hatch body 122, instead of acting on the first hatch body 121, or rarely acts on the first hatch body 121. On this basis, the probability of deformation of the first hatch body 121 can be considerably reduced or eliminated, so that the bin hatch assembly 120 and therefore the base station become more aesthetically pleasing.

[0070] It must be understood that by arranging the tension component 140 to apply tension to the second trap body 122, when the bin trap assembly 120 is closed, the second trap body 122 can directly close the dust collection bin, and come into contact with the wall surface of the dust collection bin more closely to ensure the airtightness of the second trap body 122. In this way, the dust collection effect under negative pressure can be guaranteed in one aspect; and the negative pressure acting on the first trap body 121 can be reduced in another aspect.

[0071] In some examples, the tension component 140 may include a spring, a pneumatic cylinder, a rubber component or any structure capable of applying tension to the second hatch body 122.

[0072] It should be understood that the base station proposed by the embodiment of this application is particularly suitable for an integrated cleaning system. For example, the base station can be integrated into a wall, a cabinet, or other furniture, and the arrangement of the bin hatch assembly 120 on a side surface (rather than a top surface) can reduce the space occupied by the base station, and can even completely conceal the cleaning system when the cleaning system is not in use, so that the user experience is good.

[0073] As shown in [Fig.3], in a possible embodiment, the first hatch body 121 covers at least partially the second hatch body 122.

[0074] In this embodiment, the positional relationship between the first hatch body 121 and the second hatch body 122 is further proposed, in which the first hatch body 121 at least partially covers the second hatch body 122. That is to say, the overlap area of ​​the first hatch body 121 is greater than that of the second hatch body 122. When the entire bin hatch assembly 120 is closed, the second hatch body 122 can be concealed, and the first hatch body 121 serves as the exterior surface, thus achieving a better aesthetic appearance.

[0075] It must be understood that, taking into consideration that the first trap body 121 serves as the outer surface and that the second trap body 122 serves to support the negative pressure of the dust collection bin 111, the first trap body 121 can be made from a lighter and more aesthetically pleasing material, and the second trap body 122 can be made from a material with greater mechanical resistance.

[0076] As shown in [Fig.2] and [Fig.3], in a possible embodiment, the first hatch body 121 is articulated with respect to the base station body 110 and the second hatch body 122 is connected, in a movable manner, to the first hatch body 121.

[0077] In this embodiment, a connection method is further proposed between the first hatch body 121 and the second hatch body 122, in which the first hatch body 121 is articulated relative to the base station body 110, and the second hatch body 122 is movably connected to the first hatch body 121. Based on this, when the entire bin hatch assembly 120 is open, the first hatch body 121 can be rotated to cause the second hatch body 122 to move. The second hatch body 122 can be directly connected to the first hatch body 121.When the bin hatch assembly 120 closes the dust collection bin 111 and the dust collection bin 111 begins collecting dust, the second hatch body 122 can move relative to the first hatch body 121 under the action of negative pressure, and then close the dust collection bin 111. The negative pressure of the dust collection bin 111 acts on the second hatch body 122, with little or no negative pressure acting on the first hatch body 121. In this way, airtightness is ensured, deformation of the first hatch body 121 is prevented, and the locking stability of the first hatch body 121 is guaranteed.Meanwhile, a simpler structure is obtained for the bin hatch assembly 120 and the second hatch body 122 can be driven to move as long as the first hatch body 121 rotates, without the need for the user to operate the second hatch body 122, thus providing greater convenience during use.

[0078] As shown in Figures 4 to 7, in one possible embodiment, the first hatch body 121 comprises: a support plate 1211 and a sliding groove 1212; the support plate 1211 is hinged relative to the base station body 110, and the sliding groove 1212 is arranged in the support plate 1211; and the second hatch body 122 has a sliding rod 1221, which is inserted into the sliding groove 1212, so that the second hatch body 122 is connected, in a sliding manner, to the first hatch body 121.

[0079] In this technical solution, a specific connection method is further proposed between the first hatch body 121 and the second hatch body 122, in which the first hatch body 121 may include the support plate 1211 and the sliding groove 1212, and the second hatch body 122 may include the sliding rod 1221, which is inserted into the sliding groove 1212. In this way, the second hatch body 122 can move relative to the support plate 1211, making the movable connection between the second hatch body 122 and the first hatch body 121 more convenient. In combination with the tensioning component 140, the tensioning component 140 can apply tension within a displacement gap between the second hatch body 122 and the first hatch body 121.In another aspect, the second trap body 122 is movably connected to the first trap body 121, and when dust collection is carried out in the base station, the negative pressure can act on the second trap body 122, which is subjected to the thrust applied by the tension component 140 and is also subject to movement under the action of the negative pressure, so that the second trap body 122 comes better against the dust collection bin 111 to further improve the airtightness.

[0080] As shown in Figures 4 to 7, in a possible embodiment, the first hatch body 121 further comprises: a panel 1213 connected to the support plate 1211. The panel 1213, as the exterior surface of the first hatch body 121, makes the entire bin hatch assembly 120 more aesthetic and the base station cleaner.

[0081] As shown in Figures 4 to 8, in a possible embodiment, the base station further comprises: a first limiting component 130 connected to one end of the sliding rod 1221 opposite the second hatch body 122.

[0082] In this technical solution, the base station may further include the first limiting component 130. The first limiting component 130 is fixed on one end of a sliding rail opposite the second hatch body 122, so that the first limiting component 130 can limit the movement distance of the second hatch body 122 relative to the first hatch body 121, the probability of shaking and abnormal sound occurring during the use of the bin hatch assembly 120 can be reduced, thus further improving the user experience.

[0083] It must be understood that the first limiting component 130 can be a screw which, for example, is connected to one end of the sliding rod 1221 extending outside the support plate 1211; or a joint which, for example, is connected to one end of the sliding rod 1221 extending out of the support plate 1211.

[0084] As shown in [Fig.8], in a possible embodiment, the base station further comprises: a first sealing component 150 which is arranged on one side of the second hatch body 122 opposite the first hatch body 121 and is used to abut against a wall surface of the dust collection bin 111. In such an arrangement, when the dust collection bin 111 collects dust under negative pressure, the second hatch body 122 can close the dust collection bin 111 in order to reduce the negative pressure of the dust collection bin 111 which acts on the first hatch body 121.

[0085] As shown in [Fig. 5], in a possible embodiment, the base station further comprises: a second sealing component 160 which is connected to the first hatch body 121 and is positioned between the second hatch body 122 and the first hatch body 121. In such an arrangement, abrasion of the first hatch body 121 and the second hatch body 122 can be reduced, in order to extend the service life of the entire bin hatch assembly 120.

[0086] As shown in [Fig.5], in a possible embodiment, the base station further includes: a locking component 170 for locking the first hatch body 121 onto the base station body 110 or for unlocking the entire tray hatch assembly 120.

[0087] In this technical solution, the base station may further include the locking component 170. When there is no need to replace the dust bag of the base station or add cleaning fluid, the bin door assembly 120 can be locked onto the base station body 110 by means of the locking component 170 to close the dust collection bin 111. In this case, the bin door assembly 120 presents a flat surface, so that the base station can achieve greater cleanliness and an improved appearance. When there is a need to replace the dust bag or add cleaning fluid, the bin door assembly 120 can be unlocked by means of the locking component 170, so that the user can replace and clean the dust bag to clean the dust collection bin 111.By means of the base station proposed by the embodiment of this application, the dust bag inside the dust collection bin 111 can be replaced or the cleaner added as long as the bin hatch assembly 120 is open; and the space required to open the bin hatch assembly 120 is very small, so the space for opening and closing the bin hatch can be reduced and the space available for home decoration is reduced for the user. Furthermore, the user can open and close the assembly. The 120 bin hatch can be opened with one hand, making operation simpler and improving the user experience. The arrangement of the 120 bin hatch assembly also reduces the likelihood of accidental unlocking of the 170 locking component.

[0088] As shown in [Fig.1] and [Fig.2], in a possible embodiment, the locking component 170 comprises: a male loop 171 arranged on the base station body 110; and a push-button switch 172 connected to the first hatch body 121. In a case where the push-button switch 172 is connected to the male loop 171, the bin hatch assembly 120 closes the dust collection bin 111.

[0089] In this technical solution, the structural composition of the locking component 170 is further proposed, in which the locking component 170 may include the male loop 171 and the push-button switch 172. The locking state of the locking component 170 can be changed simply by pressing the push-button switch 172. In a case in which the push-button switch 172 is connected to the male loop 171, pressure can be applied to the push-button switch 172 to unlock the push-button switch 172 with respect to the male loop 171, in which case the first hatch body 121 is unlocked to open the dust collection bin 111; and by placing the push-button switch 172 on the first hatch body 121 against the male loop 171, the locking component 170 can lock the bin hatch assembly 120 and the base station body 110 and the bin hatch assembly 120 is then closed..

[0090] In this technical solution, the locking component 170 comprises the male loop 171 and the push-button switch 172, allowing the user to open and close the entire dustbin hatch assembly 120 with one hand, making it more convenient for cleaning and replacing the dust bag. This mechanical structural design reduces the cost, and the combination of this structure with the second hatch body 122 completely prevents the negative pressure of the dust collection bin 111 from acting on the first hatch body 121, thus preventing the first hatch body 121 from opening unintentionally.

[0091] In a possible embodiment, the locking component 170 comprises: an electromagnetic switch and an infrared detection button. The infrared detection button is arranged on the bin hatch assembly 120 and the electromagnetic switch is arranged on the bin hatch assembly 120 and / or the base station body 110.

[0092] In this technical solution, the bin hatch assembly 120 can also be opened or closed in a tactile manner, in which case the locking component 170 may include the electromagnetic switch and an infrared sensing button. If the bin door assembly 120 is closed, the electromagnetic switch can adsorb the bin door assembly 120 in this case to lock the bin door assembly 120; and when it is covered by a user, the infrared detection button can release the electromagnetic switch to unlock the bin door assembly 120, and the bin door assembly 120 can rotate away from the dust collection bin 111 to open the dust collection bin 111. In this way, the user can also control the opening and closing of the bin door assembly 120 with one hand, allowing the user a more convenient way to clean and replace the dust bag.

[0093] As shown in Figures 8 to 14, in a possible embodiment, the base station further comprises: a rotating shaft support 180 connected to the base station body 110; and a rotating shaft 190 which is arranged in the rotating shaft support 180 and to which the first hatch body 121 is connected.

[0094] In this technical solution, the base station may further include the rotating shaft support 180 and the rotating shaft 190 and the rotating shaft 190 is connected to the bin hatch assembly 120 and then inserted into the rotating shaft support 180. In this way, the first hatch body 121 can rotate relative to the base station body 110, so that the opening and closing of the first hatch body 121 becomes more stable.

[0095] As shown in Figures 8 to 14, in a possible embodiment, the base station further comprises: a second limiting component 200, which is formed on the rotating shaft support 180 and is used to limit the open angle of the bin hatch assembly 120.

[0096] In this technical solution, the rotating shaft support 180 may further include the second limiting component 200. During the opening or closing of the first hatch body 121, the rotating shaft support 180 remains static relative to the first hatch body 121; when the first hatch body 121 is open in an extreme position, the first hatch body 121 may be abutted against the second limiting component 200, which may thus prevent the first hatch body 121 from rotating continuously relative to the base station body 110 to in turn limit the open angle of the first hatch body 121, so that the first hatch body 121 is prevented from covering a housing chamber 112 below the base station body 110, and furthermore, the opening and closing stroke of the first hatch body 121 is reduced.

[0097] It must be understood that the second limiting component 200 may include a projection formed on the rotating shaft support 180.

[0098] It must be understood that by arranging the second limiting component 200 to limit the open angle of the first hatch body 121, the first hatch body 121 can be prevented, during its opening, from hitting other structural components in order to reduce abnormal noise, and at the same time, collision between different devices can be avoided in order to reduce the failure rate.

[0099] As shown in Figures 8 to 14, in one possible embodiment, at least two rotating shaft supports 180 are provided, and a rotating shaft 190 is arranged in each rotating shaft support 180 or a rotating shaft 190 passes through the plurality of rotating shaft supports 180.

[0100] In this technical solution, there may be two or more rotating shaft supports 180. By securing the first hatch body 121 by means of the plurality of rotating shaft supports 180, it is possible to prevent the first hatch body 121 from loosening or falling, in order to extend the service life of the base station and reduce the failure rate.

[0101] In this technical solution, a rotating shaft 190 can be arranged in each rotating shaft support 180. With such an arrangement, the first trapdoor body 121 rotates by means of the plurality of rotating shafts 190. When a fault occurs on some of the rotating shafts 190, the first trapdoor body 121 can still be opened or closed normally, so that the failure rate is low.

[0102] In this technical solution, the same rotating shaft 190 can also pass through the plurality of rotating shaft supports 180. With such an arrangement, the difficulty in machining the first hatch body 121 can be reduced to lower the cost of the base station.

[0103] As shown in Figures 1 to 4, in one possible embodiment, the base station body 110 further comprises: a second part formed on the base station body 110, with a housing chamber 112 formed in the second part to house a cleaning device body; and / or a dust bag that is detachably connected to the base station body 110 and is arranged in the dust collection bin 110; and / or a box body 113, which is arranged inside a first part and is used to house a cleaning fluid or water. Here, the first part is located above the second part, and the dust collection bin 111 is positioned in the first part.

[0104] In this technical solution, the base station body 110 may further include the housing chamber 112, which can be used to store a functional device. The functional device may be a cleaning device body, and the base station can perform cleaning, water replenishment, cleaning fluid refilling, charging, and similar operations on the cleaning device body.

[0105] In this technical solution, the bin hatch assembly 120 rotates towards the housing chamber 112 to open the dust collection bin 111. That is to say- The bin hatch assembly 120 opens the dust collection bin 112 by rotating downwards. In this arrangement, the space required to open the bin hatch assembly 120 is small, while simultaneously allowing the dust collection bin 111 to open to a greater extent, thus facilitating cleaning of the dust collection bin 111 and the replacement and cleaning of the dust bag. During opening, the bin hatch assembly 120 can be opened by gravity, allowing the user to open it in a way that further reduces manual effort, without the need for additional electrical devices, thereby lowering costs.

[0106] In this technical solution, the base station may further include the dust bag, by means of which dust can be collected. Moreover, the dust bag is detachably connected to the base station body 110, and when the bin hatch assembly 120 is opened, the user can remove the dust bag from the dust collection bin 111, facilitating cleaning and replacement of the dust bag.

[0107] In this technical solution, the base station may further include a box body 113, through which a cleaning fluid can be housed, so that the cleaning device body can perform the cleaning with water and / or cleaning fluid.

[0108] As shown in [Fig. 1] and [Fig. 2], the angle in [Fig. 2] indicates the maximum open angle of the bin hatch assembly 120 relative to the base station body 110. In one possible embodiment, the maximum open angle of the bin hatch assembly 120 relative to the base station body 110 is greater than or equal to 85°. In such an arrangement, it is more convenient for the user to replace the dust bag in the dust collection bin 111.

[0109] As shown in Figures 1 to 14, a cleaning system is proposed according to the second aspect of the embodiments of this application. The cleaning system comprises: a base station according to any one of the above technical solutions; and a cleaning device body arranged in the base station.

[0110] Since the cleaning system proposed by the embodiment of this application includes the base station according to any one of the above technical solutions, the cleaning system has all the beneficial effects obtained by the base station according to the above technical solutions.

[0111] According to the cleaning system proposed by the embodiment of this application, when there is no need to replace the dust bag of the base station or clean the dust collection bin 111, the bin hatch assembly 120 can be locked onto the base station body 110 to close the dust collection bin 111, in which case the bin hatch assembly 120 is presented like a flat surface, so the base station can achieve a higher level of cleanliness and improved aesthetics. When it is necessary to replace the dust bag or clean the dust collection bin 111, the bin hatch assembly 120 can be unlocked and opened to expose the dust collection bin 111, so the user can replace the dust bag and add the cleaning solution. Furthermore, the bin hatch assembly 120 includes the first hatch body 121 and the second hatch body 122. When the bin hatch assembly 120 closes the dust collection bin 111, the second hatch body 122 closes the dust collection bin 111, and the first hatch body 121 can cover a larger area than the second hatch body 122. The first hatch body 121, formed as a flat surface, allows for a higher level of cleanliness and improved aesthetics of the base station.By closing the dust collection bin 111 with the second trap body 122, when the dust collection bin 111 performs dust collection under negative pressure, the negative pressure acts on the second trap body 122, instead of acting on the first trap body, or rarely acts on the first trap body 121, so that the airtightness of dust collection under negative pressure is guaranteed, the probability of deformation and damage to the first trap body 121 is reduced, and the probability of false opening and difficult opening of the bin trap assembly 120 is reduced.

[0112] It should be understood that the cleaning system proposed by the embodiment of the present application may be a sweeping robot, and the body of the cleaning device may be a cleaning component capable of moving.
