[0027] It should be noted that the terms used in this specification are merely used to describe certain embodiments, but are not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure. As used in this specification, the singular form is intended to include the plural form unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. It should be further understood that the terms "comprise" and / or "include" as used in this specification specify the presence of features, wholes, steps, operations, elements, and / or assemblies, but do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, wholes, steps, operations, elements, assemblies, and / or combinations thereof.

[0028] Next, exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, these exemplary embodiments may be implemented in various different forms and should not be construed as being limited to only the embodiments described herein. It is to be understood that these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the concept of these exemplary embodiments to those skilled in the art.

[0029] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 19 , an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a base station 20 and cleaning robot 10 system, where, as shown in FIG. 1 , the cleaning robot system includes the cleaning robot 10 and the base station 20, i.e., the base station 20 is used in cooperation with the cleaning robot 10.

[0030] Further, as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the cleaning robot 10 includes a device body 110, a sensing system 120, a control module 130, a driving system 140, a cleaning system 150, an energy system 160 and a man-machine interaction system 170. It should be noted that the cleaning robot 10 may be a self-mobile cleaning robot or other cleaning robots that meet the needs. The self-mobile cleaning robot is a device that automatically performs cleaning operations in a certain cleaning area when there is no operation by a user. Here, when the self-mobile cleaning robot starts to operate, the self-mobile cleaning device starts from the base station 20 to perform a cleaning task. When the self-mobile cleaning robot 10 completes the cleaning task or needs to abort the cleaning task, the self-mobile cleaning robot 10 can return to the base station 20 to charge or perform other operations.

[0031] As shown in FIG. 2, the device body 110 includes a front portion 111 and a rear portion 112 and is generally circular in shape (both the front and rear are circular), but may be other shapes, including, but not limited to, a generally D-shape with a square front portion and a circular rear portion, a rectangle or square shape with a square front portion and a square rear portion.

[0032] 2, the sensing system 120 includes a positioning device 121 located on the device body 110, a collision sensor provided on a buffer 122 of the front part 111 of the device body 110, a proximity sensor, a cliff sensor provided at the bottom of the device body 110, and sensing devices such as a magnetometer, an accelerometer, a gyroscope, and an odometer provided inside the device body 110, and is used to provide various position information and moving state information of the device to the control module 130. The positioning device 121 includes, but is not limited to, a camera and a laser distance sensor (LDS).

[0033] As shown in FIG. 2, the front part 111 of the equipment body 110 can be equipped with a buffer 122. During the cleaning process, when the driving wheel module 141 propels the cleaning robot 10 to run on the ground, the buffer 122 detects one or more events in the running path of the cleaning robot 10 through a sensor system such as an infrared sensor installed thereon. Based on the events detected by the buffer 122, such as an obstacle or a wall, the cleaning robot 10 can control the driving wheel module 141 to make the cleaning robot 10 respond to the event, for example, by moving away from the obstacle.

[0034] The control module 130 is provided on the main circuit board in the device body 110, and includes a computing processor, such as a central processing unit or an application processor, communicating with a non-transitory memory, such as a hard disk, a flash memory, or a random access memory. The application processor uses a positioning algorithm, such as simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM), to draw a timely map of the environment in which the cleaning robot 10 is located, based on the obstacle information fed back by the laser distance sensor. Furthermore, based on the distance information and speed information fed back by the sensing devices, such as the sensor, cliff sensor, magnetometer, accelerometer, gyroscope, and odometer, provided in the buffer 122, the control module 130 comprehensively determines the current working state, current position, and current posture of the cleaning robot 10, and comprehensively determines, for example, whether the cleaning robot 10 is over a threshold, whether it is on a carpet, whether it is at a cliff, whether it is stuck above or below, whether the dust box is full, whether it is being lifted, etc. For different situations, specific following operation strategies can be provided so that the cleaning robot 10 has better cleaning performance and user experience.

[0035] As shown in FIG. 3, the driving system 140 operates the equipment body 110 to run across the ground based on a driving command having distance and angle information (e.g., x, y and θ components). The driving system 140 includes a driving wheel module 141, which can simultaneously control the left and right wheels, and preferably includes a left driving wheel module and a right driving wheel module, respectively, in order to more accurately control the movement of the equipment. The left and right driving wheel modules 141 are provided along the lateral axis defined by the equipment body 110. In order for the cleaning robot 10 to move more stably on the ground or have a higher movement ability, the cleaning robot 10 may include one or more driven wheels 142, which include, but are not limited to, universal wheels. The driving wheel module 141 includes a running wheel, a driving motor and a control circuit for controlling the driving motor, and a circuit for measuring a driving current and an odometer may be further connected to the driving wheel module 141. The drive wheels may be movably fixed, e.g., rotatably assembled to the equipment body 110, and include an offset drop suspension system receiving a spring offset that is offset downwardly away from the equipment body 110. The spring offset allows the drive wheels to maintain contact and traction with the ground with a constant ground contact force, while the cleaning elements of the cleaning robot 10 also contact the ground with a constant pressure.

[0036] The energy system 160 may include a rechargeable battery such as a nickel-metal hydride battery or a lithium battery. The rechargeable battery may be connected to a charging control circuit, a battery pack charging temperature detection circuit, and a battery voltage shortage monitoring circuit, which are connected to a single-chip microcomputer control circuit. The device body is connected to a charging pile by a charging electrode provided on the side or bottom of the device to perform charging.

[0037] The man-machine interaction system 170 includes a button on the panel of the device body for the user to select a function, and may include a display screen and / or an indicator light and / or a speaker, where the display screen, the indicator light and the speaker are used to display the current device status or function options to the user, and the man-machine interaction system 170 may further include a mobile phone client program. In the case of a route navigation type automatic cleaning device, the mobile phone client can display the map of the device's environment and the device's location to the user, and provide the user with more abundant and friendly function items.

[0038] The cleaning system 150 may be a dry cleaning system 151 and / or a wet cleaning system 153.

[0039] As shown in Fig. 3, the dry cleaning system 151 provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure may include a roller brush, a dust box, a fan, and an air outlet. The roller brush, which has a certain interference with the ground, sweeps up foreign matter on the ground, and lifts it up in front of the dust suction port between the roller brush and the dust box, and then is sucked into the dust box by the suction gas generated by the fan and passing through the dust box. The dry cleaning system 151 may further include a side brush 152 with a rotating shaft, which is at an angle to the ground and moves the debris to the roller brush area of ​​the cleaning system 150.

[0040] As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the wet cleaning system 153 provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure may include a cleaning head 1531, a driving unit 1532, a water supply mechanism, a liquid storage tank, etc. Here, the cleaning head 1531 may be disposed below the liquid storage tank, and the cleaning liquid inside the liquid storage tank is transported to the cleaning head 1531 via the water supply mechanism, and the cleaning head 1531 performs wet cleaning on the surface to be cleaned. In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the cleaning liquid inside the liquid storage tank may be directly sprayed onto the surface to be cleaned, and the cleaning head 1531 applies the cleaning liquid evenly to achieve cleaning of the flat surface.

[0041] Here, the cleaning head 1531 is used to clean a surface to be cleaned, and the driving unit 1532 drives the cleaning head 1531 to move substantially back and forth along a target surface, the target surface being a part of the surface to be cleaned. The cleaning head 1531 moves back and forth along the surface to be cleaned, and a cleaning cloth or cleaning plate is provided on the surface of the cleaning head 1531 that contacts the surface to be cleaned, and high-frequency friction is generated between the cleaning head 1531 and the surface to be cleaned by the back and forth movement, thereby removing dirt on the surface to be cleaned.

[0042] In the embodiment provided by the present disclosure, as shown in Fig. 5, the base station 20 includes a base station body 21 and a cleaning assembly 30, where the cleaning assembly 30 is movably mounted on the base station body 21. Specifically, the cleaning assembly 30 is movable relative to the base station body 21, for example, the cleaning assembly 30 can reciprocate along the left-right direction of the base station 20, where the left-right direction of the base station 20 is indicated by a solid arrow in Fig. 5, and the direction indicated by a dotted arrow in Fig. 5 is the front-rear direction of the base station 20. The cleaning assembly 30 includes a cleaning member, which is used to remove foreign objects from the cleaning system 150 of the cleaning robot 10 by interfering with the cleaning system 150.

[0043] Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 8, 9, 10 and 11, a track groove 222 is provided on the base station body 21, and the cleaning assembly 30 is configured to move along the track groove 222. The cleaning assembly 30 is configured to be able to move back and forth along the track groove 222, so that the cleaning assembly 30 can move along the base station body 21 and further interfere with the cleaning assembly and the cleaning system 150 of the cleaning robot 10, thereby realizing automatic cleaning of the cleaning system 150. That is, the cleaning robot 10 can realize automatic cleaning of the cleaning assembly 30 of the base station 20, which omits the manual cleaning of the cleaning system 150 or the replacement operation of a new cleaning system 150, simplifies the manual operation, enhances the manual cleaning experience, contributes to reducing cleaning costs, and is suitable for popular application.

[0044] Here, as shown in Figures 14, 15 and 16, the base station 20 further includes a track cleaning member 38 for cleaning the track groove 222. If foreign matter and dirty water adhere to and remain inside the track groove 222, the track groove will be corroded and damaged, affecting the smoothness of the cleaning assembly 30 moving along the track groove 222. Therefore, by cleaning the track groove 222 with the track cleaning member 38 and timely discharging the foreign matter and dirty water in the track groove 222, it is possible to reduce the possibility that the foreign matter and dirty water will remain and accumulate in the track groove 222, and further improve the smoothness and reliability of the cleaning assembly 30 moving within the track groove 222, thereby contributing to improving the cleaning efficiency of the cleaning assembly 30 and contributing to extending the service life of the track groove 222, and improving the reliability of the base station 20.

[0045] Specifically, the track cleaning member 38 may be provided separately from the track groove 222, for example, the track cleaning member 38 may be provided separately, or may be detachably provided on the base station body 21, and when the track groove 222 is dirty, or when foreign matter remains in the track groove 222 after the base station body 21 has been in operation for a certain period of time, the operator can hold the track cleaning member 38 by hand to clean the track groove 222, and after cleaning, the track cleaning member 38 can be removed from the track groove 222 and stored, which is simple to operate and convenient to use. It should be understood that the track cleaning member may be provided in other structures that meet the needs.

[0046] In some feasible embodiments provided by the present disclosure, as shown in Figures 14 and 16, the track cleaning member 38 may be provided on the cleaning assembly 30, that is, the track cleaning member 38 moves together with the cleaning assembly 30 in accordance with the movement of the track groove 222, so that when the cleaning assembly 30 moves along the track groove 222 to clean the cleaning system 150 of the cleaning robot 10, the track cleaning member 38 cleans the track groove 222, which simplifies the operation of holding the track cleaning member 38 by hand to clean the track groove 222, expands the function of the cleaning assembly 30, and is suitable for popular application.

[0047] In addition, the track cleaning member 38 is provided in the cleaning assembly 30 and includes a brush portion 381 located in the track groove 222. Therefore, during the process of the cleaning assembly 30 moving along the track groove 222, the brush portion 381 located inside the track groove 222 of the track cleaning member 38 also moves along the track groove 222, further cleaning the track groove 222, avoiding the long-term retention of dirty water or foreign matter in the track groove 222 to cause corrosion or rust of the track groove 222, contributing to extending the service life of the track groove 222, and at the same time, avoiding the influence of foreign matter and dirty water on the smoothness of the cleaning assembly 30 moving relative to the track groove 222, further contributing to improving the smoothness and reliability of the cleaning assembly 30 moving relative to the track groove 222, and ensuring high cleaning efficiency of the cleaning assembly 30. Note that the brush portion 381 may be a sweeping brush, a rubber sheet, a scraper or other cleaning structure that meets the needs, and is not particularly limited in the present disclosure.

[0048] In the above embodiment, the track cleaning member 38 is provided on the side of the cleaning assembly 30, and the end located between the two sides of the cleaning assembly 30 is movably connected to the track groove 222, so that in the process of the cleaning assembly 30 moving relative to the track groove 222, the track cleaning member 38 provided on the side of the cleaning assembly 30 is located forward in the moving direction of the end of the cleaning assembly 30, that is, the track cleaning member 38 can clean a part of the track groove 222 corresponding to the end of the cleaning assembly 30 early, which contributes to improving the smoothness and reliability of the cleaning assembly 30 moving along the track groove 222. In this embodiment, the track cleaning member 38 is provided obliquely toward the outside of the cleaning assembly 30, that is, the direction in which the track cleaning member 38 extends along the track groove 222 is obliquely toward the end of the track groove 222, which contributes to improving the thoroughness and effectiveness of the track cleaning member 38 cleaning the track groove 222. When the track cleaning member 38 is mounted on the cleaning assembly 30 perpendicular to the extension direction of the track groove 222, i.e., when the track cleaning member 38 is mounted perpendicular to the movement direction of the cleaning assembly 30, as the cleaning assembly 30 moves left and right along the track groove 222, the track cleaning member 38 often pushes foreign matter in the track groove 222 to both ends of the track groove 222, and the foreign matter cannot be effectively removed from the track groove 222. In this embodiment, the track cleaning member 38 is obliquely arranged toward the outside of the cleaning assembly 30, that is, the track cleaning member 38 is obliquely arranged toward the end of the track groove 222 along the extension direction of the track groove 222, so that when the cleaning assembly 30 moves left and right along the track groove 222, the track cleaning member 38 can effectively scrape out foreign matter in the track groove 222 to the outside of the track groove 222, thereby improving the thoroughness and effectiveness of the track cleaning member 38 when cleaning the track groove 222, contributing to extending the service life of the track groove 222, and improving the smoothness and reliability of the cleaning assembly 30 when moving along the track groove 222.

[0049] Furthermore, the number of the track grooves 222 is two, and the two track grooves are arranged opposite to each other along the lateral direction of the base station body 21, where the lateral direction of the base station body 21 is shown as the left-right direction in Fig. 5, and the cleaning assembly 30 includes a bracket 32 ​​that is movable along the track grooves 222, i.e., the extending direction of the track grooves 222 is parallel to the longitudinal direction of the base station body 21, and the bracket 32 ​​of the cleaning assembly 30 moves along the two track grooves 222, thereby ensuring reliability and stability when the cleaning assembly 30 moves relative to the base station body 21. It should be understood that the two track grooves 222 are arranged on both sides of the bracket 32.

[0050] Here, the track cleaning members 38 may be distributed on either side facing the track groove 222 of the bracket 32, or a track cleaning member 38 may be provided on each side facing the track groove 222 of the bracket 32, so that two track grooves 222 can be cleaned by the track cleaning member 38, and the smoothness and reliability of the movement of the bracket 32 ​​relative to the base station body 21 can be further improved.

[0051] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, one track cleaning member 38 is provided on one side of the bracket 32 ​​facing the same track groove 222, i.e., one track cleaning member 38 cleans one track groove 222. Here, FIG. 14 is a structural schematic diagram of the cleaning assembly 30 in one embodiment of the present disclosure, in which the track cleaning member 38 is provided diagonally toward one end of the track groove 222. In FIG. 16, when the track cleaning member 38 is provided near the left end of the track groove 222 of the bracket 32, the track cleaning member 38 is provided diagonally toward the left end of the track groove 222. In another embodiment of the present disclosure, when the track cleaning member 38 is provided near the right end of the track groove 222 of the bracket 32, the track cleaning member 38 is provided diagonally toward the right end of the track groove 222.

[0052] When the track cleaning member 38 is obliquely mounted on the left end of the bracket 32, when the bracket 32 ​​moves the track cleaning member 38 to the left, the obliquely mounted track cleaning member 38 can smoothly remove foreign matter in the track groove 222.

[0053] 17, two track cleaning members 38 are provided on one side of the bracket 32 ​​facing the same track groove 222, that is, one track groove 222 is cleaned by two track cleaning members 38, which contributes to improving the cleaning efficiency and cleaning effect of the track groove 222. Here, the two track cleaning members 38 include a first track cleaning member 383 and a second track cleaning member 384, the track groove 222 includes a first end and a second end, the first track cleaning member 383 is provided obliquely toward the first end of the track groove 222 and is located near the first end of the bracket 32, and the second track cleaning member 384 is provided obliquely toward the second end of the track groove 222 and is located near the second end of the bracket 32. The first end is the left end of the track groove 222 and the second end is the right end of the track groove 222, with the first track cleaning member 383 located near the left end of the track groove 222 of the bracket 32 ​​and the second track cleaning member 384 located near the right end of the track groove 222 of the bracket 32, i.e., the first track cleaning member 383 is located to the left of the second track cleaning member 384, the first track cleaning member 383 is arranged diagonally toward the left end of the track groove 222, and the second track cleaning member 384 is arranged diagonally toward the right end of the track groove 222.

[0054] With this arrangement, when the cleaning assembly 30 moves left and right along the track groove 222, the track cleaning members 38 located on both ends of the bracket 32 ​​can effectively remove foreign objects in the track 22 from the track 22. When the cleaning assembly 30 moves left along the track groove 222, the foreign objects and dirty water in the track groove 222 can be moved to the left end of the track groove 222 under the action of the first track cleaning member 383, and since the first track cleaning member 383 is obliquely disposed toward the left end of the track groove 222, the foreign objects and dirty water located at the left end of the track groove 222 can be scraped out from the track groove 222, ensuring thorough cleaning of the track groove 222. Conversely, when the cleaning assembly 30 moves to the right along the track groove 222, under the action of the second track cleaning member 384, the foreign objects and dirty water in the track groove 222 approach the right end of the track groove 222, and since the second track cleaning member 384 is arranged obliquely toward the right end of the track groove 222, the foreign objects and dirty water at the right end of the track groove 222 can be cleaned from the track groove 222, thereby ensuring thorough cleaning of the track groove 222.

[0055] That is, a first track cleaning member 383 and a second track cleaning member 384 are provided on one side of the bracket 32 ​​facing the same track groove 222. The first track cleaning member 383 and the second track cleaning member 384 are located on either side of the bracket 32 ​​and inclined toward the outside of the bracket. As a result, when the cleaning assembly 30 moves back and forth along the track groove 222, the two track cleaning members 38 thoroughly and reliably remove foreign matter and dirty water in the corresponding part of the track groove 222 to the outside of the track groove 222. This ensures a high degree of cleaning of the track groove 222, contributes to extending the service life of the track groove 222, and improves the smoothness and reliability of the movement of the cleaning assembly 30 relative to the base station body 21, making it suitable for widespread application.

[0056] In addition, for two track grooves 222, one track cleaning member 38 or two track cleaning members 38 may be provided on either side of the bracket 32 ​​facing the two track grooves 222. For example, as shown in FIG. 15, one track cleaning member 38 is provided on each side of the bracket 32, or as shown in FIG. 19, two track cleaning members 38 are provided on each side of the bracket 32, or as shown in FIG. 18, one track cleaning member 38 is provided on one side of the bracket 32 ​​and two track cleaning members 38 are provided on the other side of the bracket 32. Different installation numbers of track cleaning members 38 can meet the needs of different structures of the cleaning assembly 30 and different cleaning capabilities of the track grooves 222, and can expand the scope of use of the product.

[0057] In some possible embodiments provided by the present disclosure, as shown in FIG. 16 , the track cleaning member 38 includes a mounting portion 382 connected to a brush portion 381, and the mounting portion 382 is detachably connected to the cleaning assembly 30, i.e., the mounting portion 382 connects the brush portion 381 and the cleaning assembly 30, and the brush portion 381 is located in the track groove 222. Therefore, in the process of the cleaning assembly 30 moving along the track groove 222, the mounting portion 382 moves the brush portion 381 along the track groove 222 to realize cleaning of the track groove 222, which has a simple structure and low cost.

[0058] The detachable connection between the mounting part 382 and the cleaning assembly 30 allows the mounting part 382 to which the brush part 381 is connected to be detached from the cleaning assembly 30 for maintenance, cleaning, and replacement, which is easy to operate, contributes to reducing maintenance and replacement costs, and improves the cleaning experience of the track cleaning member 38. Specifically, the detachable connection may be realized via other connection structures that meet the needs, such as bolt and screw connections, locking hooks, and the like, and is not particularly limited in the present disclosure.

[0059] In some feasible embodiments provided by the present disclosure, as shown in Figures 7, 8 and 14, the base station 20 further includes a rack 221 provided on the base station body 21, the cleaning assembly 30 includes a drive unit 34 and a first gear 341 linked to the drive unit 34, the first gear 341 is located on both sides of the bracket 32, the drive unit 34 meshes with the first gear 341 and the rack 221 to drive the bracket 32 ​​to move along the track groove 222, where the drive unit 34 drives the first gear 341 to move along the rack 221 in both forward and reverse directions, and further drives the bracket 32 ​​of the cleaning assembly 30 to move back and forth along the track groove 222, and such an installation contributes to improving the cleaning effect when the cleaning assembly 30 cleans the cleaning system 150.

[0060] Here, due to the meshing between the first gear 341 and the rack 221 , the driving unit 34 drives the first gear 341 to move in a predetermined direction on the rack 221 , and the cleaning assembly 30 moves along the track groove 222 .

[0061] Specifically, as shown in Figures 14 and 15, the drive unit 34 includes a motor 342 and a first rotating shaft 345, and the motor 342 and the first rotating shaft 345 are drivably connected, i.e., when the motor 342 operates, it can drive the first rotating shaft 345 to rotate. The first rotating shaft 345 penetrates the bracket 32, and both ends of the first rotating shaft 345 are provided with first gears 341 that mesh with the racks 221. Therefore, when the motor 342 drives the first rotating shaft 345 to rotate, the first gears 341 on both ends of the first rotating shaft 345 mesh with the racks 221 to drive the bracket 32 ​​to move along the two track grooves 222 relative to the base station body 21, thereby realizing cleaning of the cleaning system 150 of the cleaning robot 10. Furthermore, the motor 342 can drive the first rotating shaft 345 to rotate forward or backward, thereby allowing the bracket 32 ​​to move back and forth along the track groove 222, thereby improving the cleaning effect when the cleaning assembly 30 cleans the cleaning system 150.

[0062] The first gear 341 and the first rotating shaft 345 may be an integral structure, and such an arrangement simplifies the assembly operation of the first gear 341 and the first rotating shaft 345 and contributes to improving production efficiency, or the first gear 341 and the first rotating shaft 345 may be separate structures, that is, the first gear 341 is detachably provided on the first rotating shaft 345, and thus the first gear 341 can be easily removed from the first rotating shaft 345 for maintenance and replacement, contributing to reducing maintenance and replacement costs. The specific connection method of the first gear 341 and the first rotating shaft 345 is not particularly limited in the present disclosure.

[0063] In the above embodiment, as shown in Figures 9 and 11, the rack 221 is arranged inside the track groove 222, thereby reducing the size between the rack 221 and the track groove 222, contributing to reducing the volume of the base station body 21, meeting the installation needs of the base station 20 with a compact structure, and expanding the scope of use of the product.

[0064] Furthermore, the rack 221 is provided on the upper inner wall of the track groove 222, i.e., the rack 221, which determines the moving direction for the cleaning assembly 30 to move relative to the base station body 21 and provides the moving power, is provided on the upper wall surface of the track groove 222, and the lower wall surface provided opposite the upper wall surface of the track groove 222 provides supporting force for the movement of the cleaning assembly relative to the base station body 21, and the lower wall surface of the track groove 222 is a relatively smoother wall surface than the rack 221. With this installation, since the rack 221 is provided on the lower wall surface of the track groove 222, it is possible to avoid the problem that foreign objects fall onto the rack 221 during the process of the cleaning assembly 30 cleaning the cleaning system 150 of the cleaning robot 10, making cleaning difficult and affecting the smoothness of the cleaning assembly 30's movement relative to the base station body 21.

[0065] That is, by providing the rack 221 on the inner wall surface above the track groove 222, it contributes to reducing the difficulty of cleaning the track groove 222, ensures a high degree of cleaning of the cleaning tank 212, and contributes to improving the smoothness and reliability of the cleaning assembly 30 moving along the track groove 222. At the same time, it is possible to reduce noise generated in the process in which the cleaning assembly 30 moves relative to the track groove 222, thereby improving the user's usage experience.

[0066] In one example of the present disclosure, as shown in Figures 12 and 13, the base station 20 may further include a track 22 detachably connected to the base station body 21, and the track 22 is provided with a track groove 222 and a rack 221. That is, the rack 221, which determines the movement direction and provides the moving power for the cleaning assembly 30 to move relative to the base station body 21, and the track groove 222, which provides the supporting force for the cleaning assembly 30 to move relative to the base station body 21, are both provided on the track 22, thereby contributing to reducing the difficulty of assembling the base station 20, improving production efficiency, and reducing the noise generated by the movement of the cleaning assembly 30, making it suitable for widespread application.

[0067] Furthermore, the track 22 is detachably connected to the base station body 21, and the track 22 can be removed from the base station body 21 for maintenance, cleaning, and replacement, which contributes to improving maintenance efficiency, enhances the cleaning experience, and reduces replacement costs, making it suitable for widespread application.

[0068] On the other hand, since the rack 221 and the track 22 are of an integral structure, the assembly operation of the rack 221 and the track 22 is simplified, which contributes to further reducing the difficulty of assembling the track 22.

[0069] On the other hand, the rack 221 and the track 22 are separate structures, that is, the rack 221 can be attached to an appropriate position of the track 22, so that the rack 221 can be easily removed from the track 22 to clean and maintain the rack 221, and at the same time, the track groove 222 can be cleaned and maintained, which is easy to operate, contributes to reducing maintenance costs, and improves the cleaning experience.

[0070] In some possible embodiments provided by the present disclosure, as shown in Figures 8, 9, 10, and 11, the base station body 21 includes a cleaning tank 212 below the cleaning assembly 30, which is used to accommodate foreign objects removed from the cleaning system 150 of the cleaning robot 10 by the cleaning assembly 30 and / or collect wastewater generated during the cleaning process of the cleaning system 150. This facilitates subsequent treatment of the foreign objects and wastewater, and contributes to improving the cleanliness of the environment near the base station 20. Note that the foreign objects removed from the cleaning system 150 may include wastewater, hair, debris, particle dust, or other foreign objects that meet the needs, and are not particularly limited in the present disclosure.

[0071] Since the track groove 222 is provided on the inner wall of the cleaning tank 212, the track groove 222 is located inside the cleaning tank 212, i.e., the cleaning assembly 30 can move above the cleaning tank 212 along the track groove 222, thereby ensuring that wastewater and foreign matter during the process of the cleaning assembly 30 cleaning the cleaning system 150 of the cleaning robot 10 falls into the cleaning tank 212, reducing the possibility that wastewater and foreign matter will fall outside the cleaning tank 212 and cause secondary pollution, thereby contributing to improving the cleaning effect of the cleaning assembly 30.

[0072] 10 and 13 , the inner wall surface located below the track groove 222 is inclined downward toward the inside of the cleaning tank 212. For example, the inner wall surface located below the track groove 222 is a first inner wall surface 223. The first inner wall surface 223 communicates with the groove opening of the track groove 222. The first inner wall surface 223 is inclined downward toward the inside of the cleaning tank 212. Therefore, during the process of the cleaning assembly 30 cleaning the cleaning system 150 of the cleaning robot 10, after the dirty water and foreign objects enter the track groove 222, they are inclined toward the first inner wall surface 223. 23, that is, the wastewater and foreign matter are guided by the inclined first inner wall surface 223 and flow into the inside of the cleaning tank 212, which can reduce the possibility of the wastewater and foreign matter remaining in the track groove 222 causing poor movement of the cleaning assembly 30 relative to the base station body 21 and corrosion of the track groove 222, which can contribute to improving the smoothness and reliability of the movement of the cleaning assembly 30 relative to the base station 20, and can contribute to extending the service life of the track 22. At the same time, the foreign matter and wastewater in the track groove 222 are guided by the first inner wall surface 223 and flow into the cleaning tank, which can reduce the possibility of the wastewater and foreign matter falling outside the cleaning tank 212 and causing secondary pollution, and can also facilitate the concentrated treatment of foreign matter in the cleaning tank 212 and improve the treatment efficiency of foreign matter.

[0073] In the above embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, the cleaning tank 212 is provided with a dirt discharge outlet 211, which is located on one side of the cleaning tank 212, and foreign matter and wastewater in the cleaning tank 212 can be removed to the outside of the cleaning tank 212 through the dirt discharge outlet 211.

[0074] As shown in FIG. 15, the cleaning assembly 30 further includes a cleaning member 36, which faces the bottom of the cleaning tank 212 and moves foreign matter in the cleaning tank 212 toward the dirt discharge port 211. For example, when the cleaning member 36 comes into contact with the bottom of the cleaning tank 212, during the process of the cleaning assembly 30 moving along the track groove 222, the cleaning member 36 moves foreign matter in the cleaning tank 212 toward the dirt discharge port 211, and concentrates the foreign matter so that it can be quickly and smoothly discharged through the dirt discharge port 211, thereby contributing to improving the dirt discharge efficiency and dirt discharge effect of the base station 20 and improving user satisfaction in use.

[0075] In addition, the base station 20 may further include a dirt discharge mechanism, which communicates with the dirt discharge port 211 and transports foreign matter in the cleaning tank 212 to the outside of the cleaning tank 212 through the dirt discharge port 211 by the suction action, pump action, etc. of the dirt discharge mechanism, thereby improving the dirt discharge effect of the base station 20. Specifically, the dirt discharge mechanism may include a fan assembly or a pump assembly, or a dirt discharge assembly that meets needs, and is not particularly limited in the present disclosure.

[0076] In addition, the base station 20 further includes a collection box, which communicates with the cleaning tank 212 through the dirt discharge port 211, and transports foreign matter in the cleaning tank 212 to the collection box through the dirt discharge mechanism, thereby avoiding the foreign matter in the cleaning tank 212 overflowing and affecting the cleaning effect of the cleaning member, and making the working environment dirty. The installation of the collection box can ensure a good cleaning effect and contribute to the centralized processing of the collected foreign matter.

[0077] In some feasible embodiments provided by the present disclosure, as shown in FIG. 14 and FIG. 16 , the bracket 32 ​​is further provided with a support portion 37, and the support portion 37 and the first gear 341 are distributed at intervals along the extending direction of the track groove 222, that is, the support portion 37 is distributed on both sides of the bracket 32 ​​close to the track 22, and the support portion 37 includes a support wheel provided away from the bracket 32, the support wheel is located in the track groove 222, and the support wheel can move along the track 22 to support the cleaning assembly 30, which contributes to improving the stability when the cleaning assembly 30 moves relative to the base station body 21; at the same time, by installing the support portion 37, the support portion 37 and the first gear 341 can simultaneously support the bracket 32, which contributes to reducing the supporting force of the first gear 341, which can improve the service life of the first gear 341, and reduce the noise during the process of the first gear 341 moving along the rack 221.

[0078] That is, in the base station 20 provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the driving unit 34 drives the first rotating shaft 345 to rotate, and the first gear 341 meshes with the rack 221 on the track 22 of the base station body 21 to move the bracket 32 ​​relative to the base station body 21, while the support wheel of the support unit 37 moves along the track groove 222, which can greatly improve the reliability and stability when the bracket 32 ​​moves along the track groove 222, and is suitable for widespread application.

[0079] In one example of the present disclosure, as shown in Fig. 14 and Fig. 16, the cleaning assembly 30 further includes a first cleaning member 31 and a second cleaning member 33 provided on the bracket 32, where the first cleaning member 31 and the second cleaning member 33 have different structures, and the bracket 32 ​​can move along the track groove 222 provided on the base station body 21 under the driving of the driving unit 34, so that the bracket 32, as a moving member, can move the first cleaning member 31 and the second cleaning member 33 with respect to the base station body 21, whereby the first cleaning member 31 interferes with the cleaning system 150 of the cleaning robot 10, and the second cleaning member 33 interferes with the cleaning system 150, thereby removing foreign objects in the cleaning system 150, that is, the cleaning robot 10 can realize automatic cleaning for the cleaning assembly. Note that after the first cleaning member 31 and the second cleaning member 33 remove the foreign objects in the cleaning system 150, the foreign objects fall into the cleaning tank 212.

[0080] Here, the first cleaning member 31 includes a cleaning scraper, which can remove foreign matter from the cleaning system 150 by interfering with the cleaning system 150. The second cleaning member 33 includes a cleaning roller, which is rotatably provided on the bracket 32, and which can remove foreign matter from the cleaning system 150 by interfering with the cleaning system 150. Furthermore, the outer surface of the cleaning roller is provided with a brush and / or a blade, which can extend into the cleaning system 150 to remove dirt hidden therein and further improve the cleaning effect.

[0081] Here, the second cleaning member 33 and the first cleaning member 31 are arranged in parallel on the bracket 32. The second cleaning member 33 may be arranged in parallel on either side of the first cleaning member 31, for example, there may be a plurality of second cleaning members 33, and the second cleaning members 33 may be distributed in parallel on either side or both sides of the first cleaning member 31, or there may be a plurality of first cleaning members 31, and the first cleaning members 31 may be distributed in parallel on either side or both sides of the second cleaning members 33.

[0082] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, in the process in which the drive unit 34 reciprocates the bracket 32 ​​along the track groove 222, the second cleaning member 33 may always be located in front of the first cleaning member 31. With such an installation, the second cleaning member 33 first cleans the part to be cleaned of the cleaning system 150 (e.g., the cleaning head), that is, the sweeping bristles or wings of the second cleaning member 33 generate a beating effect on the cleaning head during the rotation process of the second cleaning member 33, and foreign objects hidden in the cleaning head are shaken out and scraped away under the vibration caused by the beating effect, and then the scraper of the first cleaning member 31 scrapes off the foreign objects taken out or shaken out of the cleaning head and the dirty water on the cleaning head, ensuring that the cleaning head is thoroughly cleaned.

[0083] In some feasible embodiments provided by the present disclosure, the driving unit 34 is further drivably connected to the second cleaning member 33, and drives the second cleaning member 33 to rotate relative to the bracket 32; that is, when the motor 342 of the driving unit 34 rotates the first rotating shaft 345 to drive the bracket 32 ​​to move along the track groove 222, the motor 342 drives the second cleaning member 33 to rotate relative to the bracket 32. Therefore, the bracket 32 ​​can be moved relative to the base station body 21 by one motor 342, and at the same time, the second cleaning member 33 can be rotated relative to the bracket 32, for example, the second cleaning member 33 can be rotated on its own axis. This simplifies the installation of one driving unit 34, meets the design needs of compacting the product structure, contributes to cost reduction, and is suitable for popular application.

[0084] In this embodiment, the driving unit 34 moves the cleaning assembly 30 left and right along the track groove 222 and rotates the second cleaning member 33 by the motor 342 and a multi-stage gear cooperating therewith. For example, the driving unit 34 includes the motor 342 and a gear transmission assembly, and the motor 342 moves the bracket 32 ​​via the gear transmission assembly and simultaneously rotates the second cleaning member 33, i.e., the gear assembly and the second cleaning member 33 rotate synchronously.

[0085] In this embodiment, the motor 342 can realize forward or reverse rotation, so that the bracket 32 ​​can move along two opposite directions while simultaneously rotating the second cleaning member 33 along two directions (i.e., clockwise and counterclockwise). For example, the motor 342 may drive the bracket 32 ​​to move left relative to the base station body 21 while simultaneously rotating the second cleaning member 33 clockwise, or the motor 342 may drive the bracket 32 ​​to move right relative to the base station body 21 while simultaneously rotating the second cleaning member 33 counterclockwise. Note that the types and sizes of the above gears are not limited here and may be selected according to actual needs.

[0086] In some possible embodiments provided by the present disclosure, as shown in FIG. 14 , the cleaning assembly 30 further includes a liquid ejection device 35. In the process of the cleaning assembly 30 cleaning the cleaning system 150 of the cleaning robot 10, the liquid ejection device 35 of the cleaning assembly 30 can work simultaneously, and the liquid ejection device 35 can spray cleaning liquid onto the cleaning system 150, clean the cleaning system 150 by the impact force of the cleaning liquid, or allow the cleaning liquid to penetrate into the cleaning system 150, thereby improving the cleaning effect in the process of the cleaning member cleaning the cleaning system 150.

[0087] Furthermore, since the liquid discharge device 35 sprays the cleaning liquid onto the second cleaning member 33, and the second cleaning member 33 comes into contact with the cleaning system 150 of the cleaning robot 10 by rotation, the cleaning liquid sprayed onto the second cleaning member 33 by the liquid discharge device 35 is evenly applied to the cleaning system 150 by the rotation of the second cleaning member 33, thereby ensuring a good cleaning effect. Note that the liquid discharge device 35 may spray the cleaning liquid onto the cleaning system 150 and the second cleaning member 33 simultaneously to further improve the penetration efficiency of the cleaning system 150.

[0088] It should be noted that since the cleaning assembly 30 is positioned above the cleaning tub 212, the cleaning fluid is contained within the cleaning tub 212 and discharged from the wastewater outlet of the cleaning tub 212 after cleaning the cleaning system 150.

[0089] In the above embodiment, the liquid dispensing device 35 of the base station 20 is movably provided, for example, the liquid dispensing device 35 moves along the track groove 222 together with the bracket 32, so that the cleaning liquid can be more uniformly sprayed or applied to the cleaning system 150 and / or the second cleaning member 33 of the cleaning robot 10, and the cleaning effect and cleaning efficiency can be improved when the cleaning assembly 30 cleans the cleaning system 150 of the cleaning robot 10. It should be understood that in order to ensure the safety of the power usage of the cleaning robot 10 and the base station 20, the cleaning liquid should be prevented from spilling into the external environment or onto related electrical components of the cleaning robot 10.

[0090] Moreover, the base station 20 further includes a liquid supply unit 40 and a liquid transport path, one end of which communicates with the liquid supply unit 40 and the other end of which communicates with the liquid ejection device 35, so that the liquid supply unit 40 can supply the cleaning liquid to the liquid ejection device 35 via the liquid transport path, where at least a portion of the liquid transport path is provided movably together with the bracket 32. The liquid supply unit 40 can store the cleaning liquid, and the liquid transport path is a transport member that transports the cleaning liquid to the liquid ejection device 35.

[0091] Furthermore, the liquid transport path is a liquid supply pipe, which is connected to the bracket 32, i.e., the bracket 32 ​​is provided with a liquid discharge device 35, and both ends of the liquid supply pipe communicate with the liquid supply unit 40 and the liquid discharge device 35, respectively, to realize liquid supply. Here, a pump is provided in the liquid transport path, and the cleaning liquid in the liquid supply unit 40 is transported to the liquid discharge device 35 under the action of the pump, which ensures that the cleaning liquid has a certain impact force and improves cleaning performance.

[0092] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG. 14, the liquid ejection device 35 is provided with multiple liquid outlets 351 spaced apart, and the cleaning liquid is discharged through the liquid outlets 351, thereby enabling liquid ejection from multiple positions and improving cleaning efficiency.

[0093] On the one hand, the liquid discharge device 35 is a part of the bracket 32, and the multiple liquid outlets 351 are provided at intervals on the bracket 32, thereby realizing liquid discharge from multiple positions. On the other hand, the liquid discharge device 35 may be fixed to the base station body 21, for example, the liquid discharge device 35 may have multiple liquid outlets 351, and the liquid outlets 351 are arranged from left to right along the base station body 21. When the cleaning assembly 30 moves left and right relative to the base station body 21, the liquid discharge sequence and liquid discharge frequency of the liquid outlets 351 are set according to the moving direction and moving speed of the cleaning assembly, so that when the cleaning assembly cleans the wet cleaning system 153 of the cleaning robot 10, the part to be cleaned can be wetted early and the cleaning efficiency can be improved. In addition, the liquid outlet 351 may be provided with a water pressure adjustment device and / or a water temperature adjustment device, and the cleaning efficiency can be further improved by adjusting the water pressure and / or water temperature of the liquid outlet 351 according to factors such as the degree of dirtiness of the object to be cleaned.

[0094] In the above embodiment, the liquid outlet 351 of the liquid discharge device 35 may face at least one of the first cleaning member 31 and the second cleaning member 33, and the cleaning liquid discharged from the liquid outlet 351 can impact and clean at least one of the first cleaning member 31 and the second cleaning member 33. That is, the liquid outlet 351 not only functions as a flow path for the cleaning liquid to enter the cleaning tank 212, but also allows the liquid outlet 351 to impact the water flow on at least one of the first cleaning member 31, the second cleaning member 33, and the cleaning head of the wet cleaning system 153 of the cleaning robot 10 to achieve corresponding cleaning.

[0095] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in Fig. 14, the first cleaning member 31 and the second cleaning member 33 are arranged side by side, and the liquid outlet 351 of the liquid discharge device 35 is located below the first cleaning member 31 and faces the second cleaning member 33, and the liquid outlet 351 sprays the cleaning liquid in the liquid supply unit 40 onto the second cleaning member 33, and the rotation of the second cleaning member 33 interferes with the cleaning head of the wet cleaning system 153 of the cleaning robot 10 to apply the cleaning liquid to the cleaning head. Note that the liquid discharge direction of the liquid outlet 351 of the liquid discharge device 35 may face the cleaning head, and the cleaning liquid may be sprayed directly onto the cleaning head, and the impact of the cleaning liquid on the cleaning head may cooperate with the first cleaning member 31 and the second cleaning member 33 to realize cleaning of the cleaning head.

[0096] Although the present disclosure has been described by the above embodiments, the above embodiments are only used for illustrative and explanatory purposes, and are not intended to limit the present disclosure to the described embodiment scope. In addition, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that the present disclosure is not limited to the above embodiments, and more variations and modifications can be made based on the teachings of the present disclosure, and all of these variations and modifications are included in the protection scope of the present disclosure. The protection scope of the present disclosure is defined by the appended claims and their equivalent scope.
