[0095] The following describes in detail embodiments of the present application, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present application, and should not be construed as limiting the present application.

[0096] First, with reference to Figures 1 to 20, a brief description is given of the cleaning system according to the embodiment of the second aspect of the present application. The cleaning system includes a sweeping robot 2000 and a dust collection base station 1000 according to the embodiment of the first aspect of the present application. During actual operation, the sweeping robot 2000 cleans the room and temporarily stores the cleaned dust and debris. The sweeping robot 2000 transports the stored dust and debris at the dust collection base station 1000 to the dust collection base station 1000 for storage.

[0097] The following describes the dust collecting base station 1000 according to the embodiment of the first aspect of the present application with reference to Figures 16 to 20.

[0098] Referring to Figures 16-20 , a dust collection base station 1000 according to an embodiment of the first aspect of the present application includes: a base station seat 200, a dust cup assembly 100, and a base station fan 300. In some embodiments, the base station seat 200 has a dust collection interface 210; the dust cup assembly 100 is disposed on the base station seat 200, and the dust cup assembly 100 has a cavity and a dust inlet connected to the cavity. The dust collection interface is connected to the dust inlet of the dust cup assembly 100.

[0099] According to the dust collection base station 1000 of the embodiment of the present application, by setting the base station seat 200 and the dust cup assembly 100, the base station seat 200 can collect dust through the dust collection interface 210, and the dust cup assembly 100 can store the dust collected by the base station seat 200 through the dust inlet, thereby ensuring the dust collection effect of the dust collection base station 1000 and effectively improving the user experience of the dust collection base station 200.

[0100] According to some examples of the present application, referring to Figures 16 to 20, the base station seat 200 has a dust collection duct and an air suction duct, one end of the dust collection duct extends to the dust collection interface 210, and the dust cup assembly 100 has an air outlet; the dust collection base station 1000 includes: a base station fan 300 is arranged on the base station seat 200, the inlet end of the air suction duct is connected to the air outlet and the outlet end is connected to the base station fan 300.

[0101] When the dust collection base station 1000 collects and stores dust and debris, the sweeping robot docks with the dust collection interface 210 of the base station seat 200, and the base station fan 300 runs, so that negative pressure is formed in the cavity of the dust cup assembly 100 and the dust collection air duct, and then the dust and debris in the sweeping robot enter the cavity along the dust collection air duct from the dust collection interface 210 under the action of negative pressure suction, and the dust and debris in the dust gas are collected and stored in the dust cup assembly 100, and the gas flows out from the air outlet to the base station fan 300 and flows out of the dust collection base station 1000, thereby completing the dust collection operation of the dust collection base station 1000.

[0102] The dust collection base station 1000 of this embodiment is provided with a dust cup assembly 100 and a base station fan 300 in the base station seat 200, wherein the base station fan 300 provides dust collection suction for the dust collection operation of the dust collection base station 1000, and the dust cup assembly 100 provides the dust collection of the dust collection base station 1000 with the functions of storing dust and debris and filtering dust gas.

[0103] The dust collecting base station 1000 of this embodiment integrates the functions of storing garbage and filtering dust and gas into the dust cup assembly 100, so that when designing the dust collecting base station 1000, only the dust collecting air duct, the air suction air duct and the base station fan 300 and other structures need to be designed and laid out in the base station seat 200 without considering factors such as garbage storage and filtration. Therefore, when designing the base station seat 200, the dust collecting air duct and the air suction air duct can be designed to be more convenient and compact in the base station seat 200. At the same time, the dust cup assembly 100 can also be more easily designed and arranged in a compact manner when it is designed and laid out separately, which can make the layout of each component in the dust collecting base station 1000 and the overall structure more reasonable and compact.

[0104] The compact arrangement of the dust collection duct and the air suction duct can shorten the path of the dust collection duct through which dust and other garbage and debris pass from the dust collection interface 210 to the accommodating cavity of the dust cup assembly 100, and shorten the path of the gas from the air outlet to the base station fan 300, which is beneficial to the dust collection and air suction of the base station fan 300, so that the dust collection base station 1000 can have better dust collection efficiency.

[0105] According to the dust collecting base station 1000 of the embodiment of the present application, a base station seat 200 and a dust cup assembly 100 are set, and the base station seat 200 is provided with a dust collecting air duct and an air suction air duct, and the dust cup assembly 100 is provided with a dust inlet connected to the dust collecting air duct and an air outlet connected to the air suction air duct, so that the overall structural arrangement of the dust collecting base station 1000 is relatively compact. When the dust collecting base station 1000 collects and stores dust and debris, the path of the dust and gas in the dust collecting air duct and the air suction duct where the gas flows out is shorter, thereby making the dust collection efficiency of the dust collecting base station 1000 better.

[0106] 1, 4, and 5, the dust cup assembly 100 of the dust collection station according to the present application includes a dust cup 10 and a dust filter assembly. The dust cup 10 has a cavity 13 and a dust inlet 11 and an air outlet 12 connected to the cavity 13. The dust filter assembly separates gas and dust, with the dust remaining inside the dust cup 10. The gas flows out of the dust cup 10 after being separated by the dust filter assembly.

[0107] When the dust collecting base station 1000 collects dust, the dust collecting base station 1000 provides negative pressure to the dust cup assembly 100. Under the action of the negative pressure of the dust collecting base station 1000, gas and dust enter the cavity 13 of the dust cup 10 from the dust inlet 11, and then the gas and dust move downward into the dust collection box under the action of the dust filter assembly, and the gas moves upward to the air outlet 12 and flows out of the dust cup 10.

[0108] The dust cup assembly 100 of the dust collecting base station of the present application can simplify the spatial layout of the dust collecting base station 1000 by arranging the dust inlet 11 and the air outlet 12 on the same side of the dust cup 10, so as to make the internal structure of the dust collecting base station 1000 compact and improve the space utilization. At the same time, the distance between the dust inlet 11 and the air outlet 12 can be reduced. Compared with the solution in the prior art in which the dust inlet 11 and the air outlet 12 are far apart, the dust cup assembly 100 of the dust collecting base station of this embodiment can reduce the transmission distance of the negative pressure between the dust inlet 11 and the air outlet 12, thereby reducing the transmission loss of the negative pressure in the dust cup assembly 100, thereby ensuring the suction effect and improving the dust collection efficiency.

[0109] According to the dust cup assembly 100 of the dust collecting base station of the embodiment of the present application, by arranging the dust inlet 11 and the air outlet 12 on the same side of the dust cup 10, the spatial layout of the dust collecting base station 1000 can be simplified, the structure can be made compact, and the internal space utilization rate can be improved. At the same time, the transmission distance of the negative pressure between the dust inlet 11 and the air outlet 12 can be reduced, thereby reducing the transmission loss of the negative pressure in the dust cup assembly 100, thereby ensuring the suction effect and improving the dust collection efficiency.

[0110] According to some examples of the present application, referring to Figures 1 and 4, the dust inlet 11 and the air outlet 12 are arranged on the same side of the dust cup 10. In this way, the distance between the dust inlet 11 and the air outlet 12 can be further reduced to ensure the suction effect.

[0111] According to some examples of the present application, with reference to FIG1 and FIG4 , the dust inlet 11 and the air outlet 12 are both located on the rear side of the dust cup 10 (on the side of the dust cup 10 close to the base station 200 as shown in FIG4 ). Thus, the dust inlet 11 and the air outlet 12 can be hidden on the rear side of the dust cup 10, thereby improving the aesthetics of the dust cup 10. At the same time, the dust cup assembly 100 can be installed directly from above on the dust collection base station 1000. The dust cup assembly 100 is easy to assemble and disassemble, does not require an additional fixing structure, is low in cost, and has high reliability.

[0112] According to some optional embodiments of the present application, with reference to Figures 1 and 4, the dust inlet 11 and the air outlet 12 are aligned in the vertical direction (the vertical direction as shown in Figure 4). As a result, the transmission distance of the negative pressure in the dust cup 10 can be further shortened, thereby ensuring the suction effect. At the same time, it can facilitate the connection between the dust inlet 11 and the air outlet 12 of the dust cup assembly 100 and other components. Specifically, as shown in Figure 1, the dust inlet 11 is located directly below the air outlet 12.

[0113] According to some examples of the present application, with reference to Figures 1 and 4, the dust cup 10 includes: a cup body 101, an upper cover 102, and a lower cover 103. The cup body 101 is cylindrical, and the inner side of the cup body 101 defines a cavity 13 with both the top and the bottom open; the upper cover 102 is openably provided at the top of the cup body 101 (the upper part of the cup body 101 as shown in Figure 4); the lower cover 103 is openably provided at the bottom of the cup body 101 (the lower part of the cup body 101 as shown in Figure 4). In this way, the upper cover 102 and the lower cover 103 cooperate to seal the cup body 101, so that the cup body 101 forms a closed space, which can prevent dust and gas from flowing out of the dust cup 10 during the dust collection process. At the same time, the upper cover 102 can be opened, so that the internal components of the dust cup 10 can be easily inspected and repaired. In addition, the lower cover 103 can be opened. When the dust collection work is completed, the dust cup 10 is taken out, and the dust can be poured out of the dust cup 10 by opening the lower cover 103. Or when a dust bag is provided in the dust cup 10, the dust bag can be taken out by opening the lower cover 103, thereby improving cleaning efficiency.

[0114] According to some examples of the present application, referring to Figures 1 and 4, the dust filtering assembly includes: a cyclone separator 20, the cyclone separator 20 is arranged in the cavity 13 and includes: a separation cone 21, the separation cone 21 is arranged vertically and defines a cyclone chamber 25 on the inner side, the separation cone 21 is formed with an inlet 211 connected to the cyclone chamber 25, a gas outlet 212 and a dust collection port 213, the inlet 211 is formed on the peripheral wall of the separation cone 21, the center line of the inlet 211 is along the tangent direction of the separation cone 21, the gas outlet 212 is formed at the top of the separation cone 21 (the upper part of the separation cone 21 as shown in Figure 5), and the dust collection port 213 is formed at the bottom of the separation cone 21 (the lower part of the separation cone 21 as shown in Figure 5), wherein the dust inlet 11 and the inlet 211 are opposite to each other in the radial direction of the dust cup 10.

[0115] Specifically, when the dust collecting base station 1000 collects dust, under the action of the negative pressure of the dust collecting base station 1000, the gas and dust enter the cavity 13 of the dust cup 10 from the dust inlet 11, and then the gas and dust enter the cyclone chamber 25 from the inlet 211 of the separation cone 21 through the cavity 13. Under the action of the cyclone separator 20, the dust moves downward from the dust outlet 213 of the separation cone 21 into the dust collecting box, and the gas moves upward from the gas outlet 212 of the separation cone 21, and then the gas flows out of the dust cup 10 through the gas outlet 12.

[0116] According to some examples of the present application, referring to Figures 1 and 2, the cyclone separator 20 may further include: a separation cover 23, the top of the separation cone 21 is open and formed as a gas outlet 212, the separation cover 23 is arranged on the top of the separation cone 21 and covers the gas outlet 212, and the separation cover 23 is provided with an outlet pipe 231 extending downward toward the cyclone chamber 25, the lower end of the outlet pipe 231 extends downward beyond the lower edge of the inlet 211, and the upper end of the outlet pipe 231 is connected to the gas outlet 12.

[0117] In this way, when dust and gas enter the cyclone chamber 25, the separation cover 23 can prevent the dust and gas from directly entering the filter element 22 without being fully separated. At the same time, the lower end of the outlet pipe 231 extends downward beyond the lower edge of the inlet 211, so that the dust and gas can enter the filter element 22 from the lower end of the outlet pipe 231 after being fully separated in the cyclone chamber 25, effectively preventing the gas from directly entering the filter element 22 without being fully separated, thereby ensuring the separation effect. Furthermore, the upper end of the outlet pipe 231 is connected to the air outlet 12, which can reduce the negative pressure transmission loss and ensure the negative pressure suction effect.

[0118] For example, as shown in Figure 2, the separation cover 23 is annular, and the separation cover 23 is arranged on the upper end of the gas outlet 212 of the separation cone 21. The outlet pipe 231 of the separation cover 23 extends downward from the lower surface of the separation cover 23, and the outlet pipe 231 is inserted into the cyclone chamber 25 of the separation cone 21, and an outlet pipe 231 is inserted into each cyclone chamber 25.

[0119] According to some examples of the present application, with reference to FIG1 and FIG2 , the cyclone separator 20 may further include: a filter element 22, which is disposed on the upper side of the separation cone 21 (the upper side of the separation cone 21 as shown in FIG42 ) and is located between the gas outlet 12 and the gas outlet 212, with the gas outlet 12 located on the upper side of the filter element 22. Thus, the filter element 22 can filter dust entrained in the gas to ensure dust collection effect. At the same time, the setting position of the filter element 22 can ensure that the gas must first be filtered by the filter element 22 before it can flow out of the dust cup 10 through the gas outlet 12, thereby further ensuring the dust collection effect.

[0120] Furthermore, as shown in FIG4 , the dust cup assembly 100 may further include a coarse filter element 24, which is disposed between the dust inlet 11 and the cyclone separator 20. Thus, by disposing the coarse filter element 24 between the dust inlet 11 and the cyclone separator 20, the dust gas can be preliminarily filtered, so that larger foreign particles such as hair in the dust gas can be filtered out from the dust gas, thereby avoiding the problem of dust gas clogging in the cyclone separator 20, and allowing the cyclone separator 20 to perform separation operations more stably and sustainably.

[0121] For example, as shown in FIG2 , gas and dust are first filtered by the coarse filter element 24 before entering the cyclone separation cone 21. At this time, a portion of larger dust particles remain on the coarse filter element 24, and the remaining gas and small dust particles enter the cyclone separation cone 21. After separation by the cyclone separation cone 21, the dust falls into the dust cup 10. The gas carrying a small amount of dust enters the filter element 22 under the action of the negative pressure of the dust collection base station 1000. Under the action of the filter element 22, the dust remains in the filter element 22, and the gas flows out of the dust cup 10 through the outlet 12. Preferably, the coarse filter element 24 is a filter screen to prevent larger dust particles from entering the cyclone separation cone 21, and the filter element 22 is a filter sponge to absorb small dust particles, thereby ensuring the filtering effect.

[0122] The dust collection base station 1000 according to the embodiment of the second aspect of the present application includes: a base station seat 200, a base station fan 300, and the dust cup assembly 100 of the dust collection base station of the first aspect of this embodiment. The base station seat 200 has a dust collection interface 210, and the dust cup assembly 100 and the base station fan 300 are both arranged on the base station seat 200. The dust collection interface 210 is connected to the dust inlet 11, and the base station fan 300 is connected to the air outlet 12. The base station fan 300 is used to drive the air flow in the cavity 13 from the dust inlet 11 to the air outlet 12. The base station seat 200 provides an installation space for the dust cup assembly 100. The base station fan 300 provides negative pressure during the operation of the dust collection base station 1000, which can suck dust and gas into the dust cup assembly 100.

[0123] When the dust collection base station 1000 is working, under the negative pressure of the base station fan 300, dust and gas enter the dust cup 10 from the dust collection interface 210 through the dust inlet 11. After the gas and dust are separated by the multi-cone separator, the dust remains in the dust cup 10, and the gas flows out of the dust cup 10 from the gas outlet 12. Then, the gas is discharged from the dust collection base station 1000 under the action of the base station fan 300.

[0124] According to the dust collecting base station 1000 of the embodiment of the present application, by setting the dust cup assembly 100 of the dust collecting base station of the first aspect embodiment mentioned above, on the dust cup assembly 100 of the dust collecting base station of the first aspect, by setting the dust inlet 11 and the air outlet 12 on the same side of the dust cup 10, the spatial layout of the dust collecting base station 1000 can be simplified, the structure can be made compact, and the internal space utilization rate can be improved. At the same time, the transmission distance of the negative pressure between the dust inlet 11 and the air outlet 12 can be reduced, thereby reducing the transmission loss of the negative pressure in the dust cup assembly 100, thereby ensuring the suction effect and improving the dust collection efficiency.

[0125] According to some optional embodiments of the present application, with reference to Figures 1 and 3, the dust collection base station 1000 may further include: a dust collection hose 400 and an air suction hose 500. The two ends of the dust collection hose 400 (the lower end and the upper end of the dust collection hose 400 as shown in Figure 3) are respectively connected to the dust collection interface 210 and the dust inlet 11, and the two ends of the air suction hose 500 (the upper end and the lower end of the air suction hose 500 as shown in Figure 3) are respectively connected to the air outlet 12 and the base station fan 300. In this way, the negative pressure of the base station fan 300 can be transmitted to the dust cup assembly 100 through the air suction hose 500, and then transmitted to the dust collection hose 400 through the dust cup assembly 100, and then transmitted to the dust collection interface 210 through the dust collection hose 400, thereby completing the entire dust collection work.

[0126] For example, as shown in Figure 3, the upper end of the dust collecting hose 400 is connected to the dust inlet 11, the lower end of the dust collecting hose 400 is connected to the dust collecting interface 210, the upper end of the suction hose 500 is connected to the air outlet 12, and the lower end of the suction hose 500 is connected to the base station fan 300.

[0127] According to some optional embodiments of the present application, with reference to Figures 1 and 3, the dust collection base station 1000 may further include: a first connecting member 600 and a second connecting member 700. The first connecting member 600 is fixed to the base station seat 200 and defines a first air duct on its inner side. One end of the first connecting member 600 (the upper end of the first connecting member 600 as shown in Figure 3) is connected to the periphery of the dust inlet 11, and the other end of the first connecting member 600 (the lower end of the first connecting member 600 as shown in Figure 3) is connected to the dust collection hose 400; the second connecting member 700 is fixed to the base station seat 200 and defines a second air duct on its inner side. One end of the second connecting member 700 (the upper end of the second connecting member 700 as shown in Figure 3) is connected to the periphery of the air outlet 12, and the other end of the second connecting member 700 (the lower end of the second connecting member 700 as shown in Figure 3) is connected to the suction hose 500.

[0128] In this way, the first connecting member 600 connects the dust inlet 11 and the dust collecting hose 400, and the second connecting member 700 connects the air outlet and the suction hose 500, so that the base station fan 300, the suction hose 500, the dust cup 10, the dust collecting hose 400 and the dust collecting interface 210 form a connected dust collection channel to ensure the normal operation of the dust collection work.

[0129] Furthermore, a dust collection duct 220 is formed inside the base station 200, with the front end of the dust collection duct 220 forming a dust collection interface 210. The lower end of the dust collection hose 400 is connected to the rear end of the dust collection duct 220 via a first adapter 810, and the upper end of the dust collection hose 400 is connected to the lower end of the first connector 600 via a second adapter 820. The lower end of the suction pipe is connected to the base station fan 300 via the first adapter 810, and the upper end of the suction pipe is connected to the second connector 700 via the second adapter 820.

[0130] According to some optional embodiments of the present application, referring to FIG1 and FIG4 , the dust inlet 11 and the air outlet 12 are aligned in the axial direction of the dust cup 10 (the vertical direction of the dust cup 10 as shown in FIG4 ), and the other end of the first connecting member 600 (the lower end of the first connecting member 600 as shown in FIG4 ) and the other end of the second connecting member 700 (the lower end of the second connecting member 700 as shown in FIG4 ) extend in directions away from each other in the circumferential direction of the dust cup 10. Thus, the first connecting member 600 and the second connecting member 700 do not interfere with each other during installation, thereby improving installation efficiency.

[0131] For example, as shown in FIG4 , the first connector 600 is in an inverted L-shape, with the lower end of the first connector 600 connected to the dust collection hose 400, and the upper end of the first connector 600 connected to the dust inlet 11. The second connector 700 is in an inverted L-shape, with the upper end of the second connector 700 connected to the air outlet 12, and the lower end of the second connector 700 connected to the suction hose 500.

[0132] According to some optional embodiments of the present application, referring to FIG1 and FIG4 , the first connector 600 is fixedly connected to the base station 200 via a first fastener 610, and the second connector 700 is fixedly connected to the base station 200 via a second fastener 710. This facilitates installation and removal of the first connector 600 and the second connector 700, improving installation and removal efficiency. Furthermore, the first connector 600 and the second connector 700 can be easily repaired and replaced during subsequent use.

[0133] According to some optional embodiments of the present application, with reference to Figures 1 and 4, the dust collection base station 1000 may further include: a charging terminal 900, a power board, and a control board. In some embodiments, the charging terminal 900 is provided on the base station base 200 and is suitable for supplying power to external devices; the power board is provided within the base station base 200 and is located below the dust cup assembly 100, and is electrically connected to the base station fan 300; the control board is provided within the base station base 200 and is horizontally opposite to the charging terminal 900, and both the power board and the charging terminal 900 are electrically connected to the control board.

[0134] Therefore, the charging terminal 900 is provided on the base station seat 200 to supply power to external devices (such as a sweeping robot), thereby making the dust collection base station 1000 more versatile. The power board is electrically connected to the base station fan 300, which can provide appropriate current to the base station fan 300 to ensure stable operation of the base station fan 300. At the same time, the control board is electrically connected to the charging terminal 900 and the power board, so that the dust collection base station 1000 can reasonably regulate the operation of the base station fan 300 and the power supply of the charging terminal 900 through the control board, thereby making the operation of the dust collection base station 1000 more stable and reliable.

[0135] According to the third aspect of the embodiment of the present application, the cleaning system includes a sweeping robot and the dust collection base station 1000 of the second aspect of the embodiment.

At the same time, the transmission distance of the negative pressure between the dust inlet 11 and the air outlet 12 can be reduced, thereby reducing the transmission loss of the negative pressure in the dust cup assembly 100, thereby ensuring the suction effect and improving the dust collection efficiency.

[0137] The cleaning system according to an embodiment of the present application is described below with reference to FIG. 1 to FIG. 5 .

[0138] According to an embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIG1 , the cleaning system includes a sweeping robot and a dust collection base station 1000. The sweeping robot is used to automatically clean dust and garbage on the ground. After the sweeping robot finishes cleaning, it moves to the dust collection base station 1000, and the dust collection base station 1000 collects the dust collected by the sweeping robot into the dust cup assembly 100.

The dust cup assembly 100 is mounted on the base station seat 200. A dust collection duct 220 is formed inside the base station seat 200. The front end of the dust collection duct 220 forms a dust collection interface 210. The charging terminal 900, the power board, and the control board are electrically connected. The rear end of the dust collection duct 220 is connected to the lower end of the dust collection hose 400 via the first adapter 810. The upper end of the dust collection hose 400 is connected to the lower end of the first connector 600. The upper end of the first connector 600 is connected to the upper end of the first connector 600.

[0140] The dust cup assembly 100 includes: a dust cup 10 and a cyclone separator 20. The cyclone separator 20 is arranged inside the dust cup 10. The dust cup 10 includes: a cup body 101, an upper cover 102 and a lower cover 103. A cavity 13 is formed inside the cup body 101, and a dust inlet 11 and an air outlet 12 are provided on the rear side of the cup body 101. The dust inlet 11 and the air outlet 12 are aligned in the upper and lower directions of the dust cup 10; the cyclone separator 20 includes: a plurality of separation cones 21, a filter element 22, a separation cover 23 and a coarse filter element 24.

A cyclone chamber 25 is also formed inside the cyclone separator 20.

[0141] When assembling the dust collection base station 1000, first assemble the first adapter 810 and the second adapter 820 with the dust collection hose 400, and then assemble the first adapter 810 and the second adapter 820 with the suction hose 500, and then fix the base station seat 200, and then connect the first adapter 810 on the dust collection hose 400 to the rear end of the dust collection air duct 220 on the base station seat 200, and the second adapter 820 on the dust collection hose 400 is connected to the lower end of the first connecting member 600, and the upper end of the first connecting member 600 is connected to the dust inlet 11, and the first adapter 810 on the suction hose 500 is connected to the base station fan 300 again, and the second adapter 820 on the suction hose 500 is connected to the lower end of the second connecting member 700, and the upper end of the second connecting member 700 is connected to the air outlet 12, finally, the cyclone separator 20 is installed inside the dust cup 10, and the entire dust cup assembly 100 is installed on the base station seat 200. At this time, the dust collection base station 1000 is assembled.

[0142] When the dust collecting base station 1000 is performing dust collecting work, the button on the control panel is pressed, the base station fan 300 is started, and the base station fan 300 generates negative pressure, which drives the dust and gas from the dust collecting interface 210 into the dust collecting air duct 220, and from the dust collecting air duct 220 through the first adapter 810 into the dust collecting hose 400, and from the dust collecting hose 400 through the second adapter 820 into the first connecting piece 600, and from the first connecting piece 600 into the cavity 13 of the dust cup 10 through the dust inlet 11. The cavity 13 first passes through the coarse filter element 24 and then enters the inlet 211 of the separation cone 21. Under the action of the multi-cone separator, the dust falls from the dust outlet 213 into the dust cup assembly 100, and the gas and part of the dust enter the filter element 22 from the inlet of the separation cover 23. At this time, the dust is adsorbed by the filter element 22, and the gas enters the suction hose 500 from the air outlet 12 under the action of negative pressure. Finally, the gas is discharged from the dust collecting base station 1000 through the base station fan 300. At this time, the dust collection work of the dust collecting base station 1000 is completed.

[0143] The cleaning system of the present application is provided with a dust collecting base station 1000 on the cleaning system, and a dust cup assembly 100 of the dust collecting base station is provided on the dust collecting base station 1000. By providing a dust inlet 11 and an air outlet 12 on the same side of the dust cup 10 on the dust cup assembly 100 of the dust collecting base station, the spatial layout of the dust collecting base station 1000 can be simplified, the structure can be made compact, and the internal space utilization rate can be improved. At the same time, the transmission distance of the negative pressure between the dust inlet 11 and the air outlet 12 can be reduced, thereby reducing the transmission loss of the negative pressure in the dust cup assembly 100, thereby ensuring the suction effect and improving the dust collection efficiency.

[0144] The following describes a dust collecting base station 1000 according to an embodiment of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0145] 11-12 , the dust collection system 1 according to an embodiment of the present application includes a robot vacuum cleaner 2000 and a dust collection base station 1000 according to an embodiment of the present application. The robot vacuum cleaner 2000 has a dust collection outlet 950 and a second charging terminal. The dust collection base station 1000 according to an embodiment of the present application may include: a base station 200 and a dust cup assembly 100.

[0146] Specifically, a first charging terminal 960 and a dust collection interface 210 are provided on the base station seat 200. The dust collection interface 210 is located on one side of the base station seat 200 along a first horizontal direction (for example, the front and rear direction shown in Figure 10). The dust cup assembly 100 includes a base station fan 300 and a dust cup 10.

[0147] The sweeping robot 2000 has a mating state with the dust collection base station 1000 and a detached state with the dust collection base station 1000. In the mating state, the dust collection outlet 950 is connected to the dust collection interface 210, and the base station fan 300 is controlled to work, so that the garbage in the sweeping robot 2000 can enter the dust cup 10 through the dust collection outlet 950 and the dust collection interface 210, thereby realizing the dust collection of the sweeping robot 2000, meeting the dust collection requirements of the dust collection system 1, facilitating the user to clean, and improving the user experience; or When in the mating state, the second charging terminal is connected to the first charging terminal 960, and the dust collection base station 1000 can charge the sweeping robot 2000 to meet the charging needs of the sweeping robot 2000; alternatively, in the mating state, the dust collection outlet 950 is connected to the dust collection interface 210, and the second charging terminal is connected to the first charging terminal 960, which enables the sweeping robot 2000 to meet the charging and dust collection needs of the dust collection system 1 at the same position, avoiding multiple position adjustments of the sweeping robot 2000, which is conducive to improving work efficiency.

[0148] At the same time, as shown in Figures 12-10, the base station fan 300 is arranged in the base station seat 200. The base station seat 200 can protect the base station fan 300 to prevent the base station fan 300 from being exposed and damaged, which is beneficial to extending the service life and ensuring the beautiful appearance of the dust collection base station 1000, thereby improving the aesthetics of the dust collection base station 1000.

[0149] In addition, as shown in Figures 11 to 8 and 10, the base station fan 300 and the first charging terminal 960 are arranged in a horizontal direction, ensuring a compact structure, which is conducive to reducing the space occupied by the dust collection base station 1000 in the vertical direction, and can reduce the height of the dust collection base station 1000, ensuring that the dust collection base station 1000 is securely placed. In the vertical direction, the base station fan 300 is located below the dust cup 10, that is, the dust cup 10 is located above the base station fan 300, so that the center of gravity of the dust collection base station 1000 is close to the ground, with good stability, facilitating the removal and placement of the dust cup 10, and improving the user experience. At the same time, it can further reduce the space occupied by the dust collection base station 1000, effectively utilizing the internal space of the dust collection base station 1000, ensuring a compact structure, improving space utilization, and reducing the size of the base station base 200, which is conducive to reducing production costs.

[0150] In some examples, the sweeping robot 2000 is separated from the dust collection base station 1000, and the sweeping robot 2000 can be controlled to clean to meet the cleaning requirements of the dust collection system 1, and the sweeping robot 2000 is in a separated state; after cleaning is completed, the sweeping robot 2000 is controlled to automatically recharge, so that the sweeping robot 2000 cooperates with the dust collection base station 1000 to meet the charging and / or dust collection requirements of the dust collection system 1. The sweeping robot 2000 is in a cooperative state and can meet the different working requirements of the dust collection system 1.

[0151] In some examples, as shown in Figures 11, 12, 8, 10 and 12, the base station seat 200 can have a support part 250. In the up and down directions, the dust cup 10 is supported on the support part 250, and the base station fan 300 is located at the lower part of the support part 250, so that the center of gravity of the dust collection base station 1000 is close to the ground, with good stability, and the support part 250 can ensure reliable support for the dust cup 10, which is convenient for taking and placing the dust cup 10, thereby improving the user experience.

[0152] In some examples, as shown in Figures 11-10, the dust cup 10 is detachably supported on the support part 250, which facilitates the removal of the dust cup 10 from the base station seat 200, making it more convenient to take and place and clean the dust cup 10, which is beneficial to improving the user experience. Compared with the dust bag structure in the related art, the dust cup 10 of the present application has no consumables, avoids waste of resources, and is more environmentally friendly.

[0153] In some examples, when in the mating state, the dust collection outlet 950 is connected to the dust collection interface 210, and the second charging terminal is connected to the first charging terminal 960. After the dust collection mode of the dust collection base station 1000 is started, dust is collected from the sweeping robot 2000. After the dust collection is completed, the sweeping robot 2000 is charged through the dust collection base station 1000, which can ensure the charging stability of the sweeping robot 2000.

[0154] It should be noted that, for the convenience of description, the directions such as "front and back directions" and "left and right directions" in this application are based on the direction relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are not limitations on the directions in actual application.

[0155] According to the dust collection base station 1000 of the embodiment of the present application, the base station fan 300 and the first charging terminal 960 are arranged in the horizontal direction. In the up and down directions, the base station fan 300 is located at the lower part of the dust cup 10, so that the center of gravity of the dust collection base station 1000 is close to the ground, with good stability, ensuring that the dust collection base station 1000 is placed reliably and convenient for taking and placing the dust cup 10, thereby improving the user experience. At the same time, it can reduce the occupied space of the dust collection base station 1000, effectively utilize the internal space of the dust collection base station 1000, ensure a compact structure, improve space utilization, and help reduce production costs.

[0156] Since the dust collection base station 1000 according to the embodiment of the present application has the above-mentioned beneficial technical effects, the dust collection system 1 according to the embodiment of the present application is arranged in the horizontal direction through the base station fan 300 and the first charging terminal 960. In the up and down directions, the base station fan 300 is located at the lower part of the dust cup 10, so that the center of gravity of the dust collection base station 1000 is close to the ground, with good stability, ensuring that the dust collection base station 1000 is placed reliably and facilitating the removal and placement of the dust cup 10, thereby improving the user experience. At the same time, it can reduce the occupied space of the dust collection base station 1000, effectively utilize the internal space of the dust collection base station 1000, ensure a compact structure, improve space utilization, and help reduce production costs.

[0157] In some examples of the present application, as shown in Figures 11, 12, 9 and 10, the axis of the dust cup 10 and the axis of the base station fan 300 both extend in the vertical direction (for example, the up and down direction shown in Figure 10), so that the dust cup 10 can be placed stably on the base station seat 200, avoiding the dust cup 10 from tilting after placement, and ensuring that the dust cup 10 is placed stably.

[0158] In some examples, as shown in Figures 11-9, the first charging terminal 960 and the dust collection interface 210 are located on the same side of the base station seat 200. When the sweeping robot 2000 is in the mating state, the sweeping robot 2000 can meet the charging and dust collection needs of the dust collection system 1 at the same position, avoiding the sweeping robot 2000 from making multiple position adjustments, which is beneficial to improving work efficiency, and can ensure that the first charging terminal 960 and the dust collection interface 210 are arranged on the base station seat 200 in a compact structure, which can reduce the horizontal space occupied by the dust collection base station 1000, which is beneficial to reducing the space required for the dust collection base station 1000 and facilitating the placement of the dust collection base station 1000.

[0159] According to some examples of the present application, as shown in Figures 12, 8 and 11, the dust collection base station 1000 also includes a power board 910, which is arranged in the base station seat 200. The power board 910 and the base station fan 300 are electrically connected. The base station fan 300 can be powered by the power board 910 to meet the dust collection needs of the dust collection base station 1000, and the power board 910 can be protected by the base station seat 200 to prevent the power board 910 from being exposed and causing damage, which is beneficial to extending the service life of the dust collection base station 1000.

[0160] In addition, as shown in Figures 12, 8 and 11, the power board 910 can be located below the dust cup 10, which can effectively utilize the space below the dust cup 10, ensure a compact structure, and help improve space utilization. It also avoids the power board 910 occupying other space and increasing the size of the dust collection base station 1000, which is conducive to reducing the occupied space of the dust collection base station 1000.

[0161] In some examples, as shown in Figures 12, 8, and 11, the dust collection base station 1000 further includes a protective cover 920. The protective cover 920 is disposed within the base station seat 200 and below the dust cup 10. The protective cover 920 is connected to the base station seat 200 to ensure that the protective cover 920 is securely fixed to the base station seat 200. The protective cover 920 and the base station seat 200 together define an installation space 930, and the power board 910 is disposed within the installation space 930. Thus, the protective cover 920 and the base station seat 200 can protect the power board 910, preventing the power board 910 from contacting other structures and causing short circuits, thereby ensuring the safe use of the dust collection base station 1000. Furthermore, the protective cover 920 is located below the dust cup 10, ensuring that the dust collection base station 1000 has a compact structure, which helps reduce the space occupied by the dust collection base station 1000.

[0162] In some examples, as shown in Figures 8 and 11, the protective cover 920 can be snap-connected to the base station seat 200 to ensure that the protective cover 920 is reliably connected to the base station seat 200, which is conducive to improving assembly efficiency and facilitating disassembly; or, the protective cover 920 and the base station seat 200 can be connected by fasteners to ensure a reliable connection and facilitate disassembly; or, both sides of the length direction of the protective cover 920 can be connected to the base station seat 200 by fasteners, and one side of the width direction of the protective cover 920 can be snap-connected to the base station seat 200 to facilitate assembly and make the connection more reliable.

[0163] In some examples, the protective cover 920 may be an insulating member, which can prevent the protective cover 920 from contacting the power board 910 and causing problems such as short circuits, thereby ensuring the safety of the dust collection base station 1000.

[0164] In some examples of the present application, as shown in Figures 12 and 8, the power board 910 is arranged horizontally. Since the thickness of the power board 910 is relatively small, the space occupied by the power board 910 in the upper and lower directions can be reduced, and the power board 910 is horizontally located below the dust cup 10, effectively avoiding occupying other external space, ensuring a compact structure, and helping to improve space utilization.

[0165] According to some examples of the present application, as shown in Figures 12, 8 and 11, the dust collection base station 1000 also includes a control board 940, which is arranged in the base station seat 200. The power board 910 and the first charging terminal 960 are both electrically connected to the control board 940. The control board 940 can control the on and off connection between the power board 910 and the first charging terminal 960 to meet the charging needs of the dust collection base station 1000 for the sweeping robot 2000, and the base station seat 200 can protect the control board 940 to prevent the control board 940 from being exposed and damaged, which is beneficial to extending the service life of the dust collection base station 1000.

[0166] In addition, as shown in Figures 12, 8 and 11, the control board 940 is located below the power board 910, and the control board 940 is located above the dust collection interface 210, which facilitates the electrical connection between the power board 910 and the control board 940, can reduce the connection path, and avoid the dust collection interface 210 from blocking the electrical connection between the control board 940 and the power board 910, which is beneficial to improving assembly efficiency, and the power board 910 and the control board 940 both occupy the space below the dust cup 10, which can avoid occupying other external space, ensure a compact structure, and help improve space utilization.

[0167] According to some examples of the present application, as shown in Figures 12, 8 and 11, the control board 940 is vertically arranged to facilitate the electrical connection between the control board 940 and the first charging terminal 960, and to avoid the control board 940 occupying other external space, thereby ensuring a compact structure and improving space utilization.

[0168] In addition, as shown in Figures 12 and 8, the control board 940 and the first charging terminal 960 are opposite to each other in the thickness direction of the control board 940 (for example, the front-to-back direction shown in Figure 12), and the control board 940 is located between the first charging terminal 960 and the base station fan 300, which facilitates the electrical connection between the control board 940 and the first charging terminal 960, can reduce the connection path, is conducive to improving assembly efficiency, and ensures a compact structure, is conducive to improving space utilization, and reduces the occupied space of the dust collection base station 1000.

[0169] In some examples, as shown in Figures 10 and 12, the base station 200 is symmetrical with respect to a reference plane, which is composed of a first direction and a vertical direction (e.g., the up-down direction shown in Figure 10). This improves the aesthetics of the dust collection base station 1000 and facilitates the processing and manufacturing of the base station 200. In addition, the axis of the base station fan 300 is spaced apart from the reference plane to prevent interference between the base station fan 300 and other structures (e.g., the dust collection hose 400), facilitate the placement of other structures, and eliminate the need for excessive bending or other installation connections for the suction hose 500, ensuring a compact structure and reducing the space occupied by the dust collection base station 1000.

[0170] It can be understood that the axis of the base station fan 300 is a straight line extending in the up-down direction and passing through the center point of the base station fan 300 .

[0171] In some examples of the present application, as shown in Figures 11, 12, 10 and 12, an exhaust outlet 230 is provided on the base station seat 200, the dust cup 10 has an air inlet and an air outlet, and the dust cup assembly 100 also includes a dust collecting hose 400 and a suction hose 500. The dust collecting hose 400 is connected to the dust collecting interface 210 and the air inlet, one end of the suction hose 500 is connected to the air outlet, and the other end of the suction hose 500 is connected to the air inlet of the base station fan 300, and the air outlet of the base station fan 300 is connected to the exhaust outlet 230.

[0172] The base station fan 300 is controlled to work, so that suction is generated in the suction hose 500 to discharge the gas in the dust cup 10 from the exhaust port 230 through the air outlet and the suction hose 500, so that negative pressure is formed in the dust cup 10, so that the garbage in the sweeping robot 2000 can enter the dust collecting hose 400 through the dust collecting outlet 950 and the dust collecting interface 210, and enter the dust cup 10 from the air inlet through the dust collecting hose 400, thereby realizing dust collection of the sweeping robot 2000 and meeting the dust collection requirements of the dust collecting system 1. The dust cup assembly 100 has a simple structure, which is convenient for realizing the dust collection function of the dust collecting system 1.

[0173] In addition, as shown in FIG12 , a filter 260 is provided at the exhaust port 230 , through which the gas discharged from the suction hose 500 to the exhaust port 230 can be filtered to avoid external pollution and ensure clean and hygienic indoor air.

[0174] In some examples, as shown in Figures 11-10, the suction hose 500 and the dust collection hose 400 can be located inside the base station seat 200. The base station seat 200 can protect the suction hose 500 and the dust collection hose 400 to prevent the suction hose 500 and the dust collection hose 400 from being exposed and damaged, which is beneficial to extending the service life and ensuring the beautiful appearance of the dust collection base station 1000, thereby improving the aesthetics of the dust collection base station 1000.

[0175] In some examples, as shown in Figures 11-8 and 10, the dust collection hose 400 and dust cup 10 are arranged along a first direction, ensuring a compact structure. This helps reduce the vertical space occupied by the dust collection base station 1000, lowering the height of the dust collection base station 1000 and ensuring secure placement of the dust collection base station 1000. Furthermore, the dust cup 10 and dust collection interface 210 are located on the same side of the base station 200, avoiding the problem of the dust cup 100 and dust collection interface 210 being located on different sides and occupying a large space. This ensures a compact structure of the dust collection hose 400, dust cup 10, and dust collection interface 210, and facilitates access to the dust cup 10.

[0176] In some examples, as shown in FIG12 and FIG10 , the dust collection hose 400 and the suction hose 500 are located on the same side of the dust cup 10, ensuring a compact structure of the dust cup assembly 100, preventing the dust collection hose 400 from occupying other external space, effectively utilizing the internal space of the dust collection base station 1000, and facilitating improved space utilization, thereby reducing the space required for the dust collection base station 1000. In addition, the base station fan 300 can be located below the suction hose 500, so that the center of gravity of the dust collection base station 1000 is close to the ground, providing good stability, and further reducing the space occupied by the dust collection base station 1000, effectively utilizing the internal space of the dust collection base station 1000, ensuring a compact structure, improving space utilization, and reducing the size of the base station base 200, thereby reducing production costs.

[0177] In some examples, as shown in Figures 10 and 12, the dust collecting hose 400 and the suction hose 500 are arranged along a horizontal second direction (for example, the left and right direction shown in Figure 12), and the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction, which avoids the dust collecting hose 400 and the suction hose 500 occupying the space in the first direction at the same time, making the structure of the dust cup assembly 100 compact, effectively utilizing the internal space of the dust collecting base station 1000, and helping to improve space utilization.

[0178] In some examples, as shown in Figure 12, a cyclone separator 20 is provided in the dust cup 10, and the cyclone separator 20 is connected to the suction hose 500. The garbage in the dust cup 10 is filtered by the cyclone separator 20 and collected in the dust cup 10, so as to prevent the garbage from entering the base station fan 300 through the suction hose 500 from the air outlet and causing damage to the base station fan 300, which is beneficial to extend the service life of the dust collection base station 1000 and prevent the garbage from being discharged into the room through the exhaust port 230, thereby ensuring the cleanliness and hygiene of the indoor floor.

[0179] According to some examples of the present application, as shown in Figures 12, 10 and 12, the exhaust outlet 230 is arranged on a side of the base station seat 200 away from the dust collection interface 210 (for example, the rear side shown in Figure 12), and the exhaust outlet 230 is located between the dust collection hose 400 and the suction hose 500, so that the exhaust outlet 230 can be located in the space defined between the dust collection hose 400 and the suction hose 500, avoiding the exhaust outlet 230 occupying other external space, ensuring a compact structure, and being able to reduce the occupied space of the dust collection base station 1000, effectively utilizing the internal space of the dust collection base station 1000, and improving space utilization.

[0180] In some examples, as shown in Figures 11, 12, 10 and 12, the dust collection hose 400 and the suction hose 500 both extend in the up and down directions, avoiding the dust collection base station 1000 from occupying a large external space in the horizontal direction, reducing the occupied space of the dust collection base station 1000, and facilitating the placement of the dust collection base station 1000.

[0181] In some examples of the present application, as shown in Figures 10 and 12, the base station fan 300 and the dust collection hose 400 are arranged along the second direction, and the axis of the base station fan 300 and the axis of the base station seat 200 are spaced apart in the first direction and the second direction, effectively avoiding interference between the base station fan 300 and the dust collection hose 400 and the dust collection interface 210, ensuring reliable assembly, and enabling the base station fan 300 to be close to the suction hose 500, facilitating the connection between the base station fan 300 and the suction hose 500.

[0182] In some examples, as shown in Figures 10 and 12, the base station fan 300 is connected to the suction hose 500 through a connector to ensure a reliable connection, and the base station fan 300 can be set close to the suction hose 500, shortening the length of the connector, which is conducive to reducing production costs.

[0183] According to some examples of the present application, as shown in Figures 11 and 9, the first charging terminal 960 and the dust collection interface 210 are located on the outer wall of the base station seat 200, which is convenient for processing and manufacturing the first charging terminal 960 and the dust collection interface 210, and is convenient for cooperation with the sweeping robot 2000.

[0184] In some examples, a dust box is provided in the sweeping robot 2000, which is used to store garbage collected by the sweeping robot 2000 when cleaning the floor, so as to facilitate the collection of garbage in the sweeping robot 2000. At the same time, the dust cup assembly 100 can collect the garbage in the dust box into the dust cup 10, thereby avoiding the user from cleaning the dust box multiple times, thereby improving the user experience.

[0185] The dust collection system 1 according to a specific embodiment of the present application is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It is worth noting that the following description is merely illustrative and should not be construed as limiting the application.

[0186] Referring to Figure 11-11, the dust collection system 1 includes a dust collection base station 1000 and a sweeping robot 2000. The sweeping robot 2000 has a dust collection outlet 950 and a second charging terminal. The dust collection base station 1000 includes a base station seat 200, a dust cup assembly 100, a power board 910 and a control board 940. The base station seat 200 has a support portion 250. The base station seat 200 has a first charging terminal 960, a dust collection interface 210 and an exhaust port 230 on its surrounding wall. The dust collection interface 210 is located on the front side of the base station seat 200. The power board 910 and the control board 940 are arranged in the base station seat 200. The power board 910 and the first charging terminal 960 are both electrically connected to the control board 940.

[0187] Among them, as shown in Figures 11-8, 10 and 11, the dust cup assembly 100 includes a base station fan 300, a dust cup 10, a suction hose 500 and a dust collecting hose 400. The base station fan 300 is arranged in the base station seat 200. The dust cup 10 has an air inlet and an air outlet. The dust collecting hose 400 is connected to the dust collecting interface 210 and the air inlet. One end of the suction hose 500 is connected to the air outlet, and the other end of the suction hose 500 is connected to the air inlet of the base station fan 300. The air outlet of the base station fan 300 is connected to the exhaust outlet 230. The power board 910 and the base station fan 300 are electrically connected.

[0188] The dust cup 10 is located at the front of the base station 200. The dust collection hose 400 and the dust cup 10 are both located at the rear of the dust cup 10. The suction hose 500 and the dust collection hose 400 are arranged in a left-right direction and extend vertically. The dust cup 10 is supported vertically on the support 250. The base station fan 300 is located below the support 250 and the suction hose 500. The exhaust port 230 is located at the rear of the base station 200, between the suction hose 500 and the dust collection hose 400. A filter 260 is installed at the exhaust port 230. The base station fan 300 and the first charging terminal 960 are arranged in the front-to-back direction. The first charging terminal 960 is located on the front side of the base station seat 200. The power board 910 is located below the dust cup 10. The power board 910 is horizontally arranged. The control board 940 is located below the power board 910 and above the dust collection interface 210. The control board 940 is vertically arranged. The control board 940 and the first charging terminal 960 are opposite to each other in the front-to-back direction of the control board 940. The control board 940 is located between the first charging terminal 960 and the base station fan 300. The axis of the dust cup 10 and the axis of the base station fan 300 both extend in the up and down directions.

[0189] As a result, the center of gravity of the dust collecting base station 1000 is close to the ground, with good stability, and the occupied space of the dust collecting base station 1000 can be reduced, effectively utilizing the internal space of the dust collecting base station 1000, ensuring a compact structure, and improving space utilization. At the same time, the size of the base station seat 200 can be reduced, which is conducive to reducing production costs.

[0190] As shown in Figures 11 and 12, the sweeping robot 2000 has a cooperated state and a separated state. The sweeping robot 2000 is separated from the dust collection base station 1000, and the sweeping robot 2000 can be controlled to clean to meet the cleaning needs of the dust collection system 1, and the sweeping robot 2000 is in a separated state; after cleaning is completed, the sweeping robot 2000 is controlled to automatically recharge, so that the sweeping robot 2000 cooperates with the dust collection base station 1000, the dust collection outlet 950 is connected to the dust collection interface 210, and the second charging terminal is connected to the first charging terminal 960, and the sweeping robot 2000 is in a cooperated state. After the dust collection mode of the dust collection system 1 is started, the base station fan 300 is controlled to work, so that suction is generated in the suction hose 500 and the dust collection hose 400, and the garbage in the sweeping robot 2000 can be removed. The dust enters the dust collection hose 400 through the dust collection outlet 950 and the dust collection interface 210, and enters the dust cup 10 from the air inlet in the up and down directions through the dust collection hose 400. The dust cup 10 can filter the garbage through the cyclone separator 20 in the dust cup 10, so that the garbage is collected in the dust cup 10. At the same time, the gas in the dust cup 10 enters the suction hose 500 through the air outlet, and enters the base station fan 300 in the up and down directions through the suction hose 500, enters the filter 260 from the base station fan 300 for filtration, and is discharged through the exhaust port 230, thereby realizing automatic dust collection of the sweeping robot 2000. After the dust collection is completed, the dust collection base station 1000 is controlled to charge the sweeping robot 2000 to meet the charging needs of the sweeping robot 2000, thereby realizing different working requirements of the dust collection system 1.

[0191] Other structures and operations of the dust collection base station 1000 and the dust collection system 1 according to the embodiments of the present application are well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.

[0192] The base station seat 200 according to an embodiment of the present application is described below with reference to Figures 13 to 15.

[0193] Referring to Figures 13-15 , the base station 200 is used in the cleaning system 1. The base station 200 can be used to collect dust from the cleaning system 1. The cleaning system 1 has a dust box, and the garbage in the dust box can be collected into the base station 200. This can avoid the user having to clean the dust box multiple times, which is beneficial to improving the user experience. It should be noted that the cleaning system 1 can be a sweeping robot 2000, an electric mop, or a vacuum cleaner, etc., and this application does not limit it.

[0194] The base station 200 includes a noise reduction module, and the dust cup assembly 100 and the noise reduction module are both disposed within the base station 200. The base station 200 can protect the dust cup assembly 100 and the noise reduction module, preventing damage caused by exposure of the dust cup assembly 100 and the noise reduction module, thereby extending the service life and ensuring the aesthetic appearance of the base station 200, thereby improving the aesthetics of the base station 200.

[0195] The base station seat 200 is detachably connected to the dust cup 10 and / or the dust cup assembly 100. The dust cup 10 can be detachably connected to the base station seat 200 and the dust cup assembly 100, and the dust cup 10 can be removed from the base station seat 200 and the dust cup assembly 100. The dust cup 10 can also be detachably connected to the base station seat 200 or the dust cup assembly 100, and the dust cup 10 can be removed from the base station seat 200 or the dust cup assembly 100, which is convenient for cleaning the dust cup 10, which is beneficial to improving the user experience and also convenient for repairing or maintaining the dust cup 10.

[0196] The base station 200 is provided with a dust collection interface 210, which is used to connect to the dust collection outlet of the sweeping robot 2000. The dust cup assembly 100 includes a base station fan 300 and a dust collection hose 400. When the base station 200, the dust cup 10, and the dust cup assembly 100 are connected, the dust collection interface 210 communicates with the dust storage chamber of the dust cup 10. When the sweeping robot 2000 and the base station 200 are in a mating state, the base station fan 300 can suck the garbage in the dust box of the sweeping robot 2000 into the dust collection hose 400 through the dust collection outlet and the dust collection interface 210. The garbage in the dust collection hose 400 can then enter the dust storage chamber. When the dust cup assembly 100 collects dust, the dust cup assembly 100 generates a lot of noise, which affects the user experience. The dust cup assembly 100 is located in the base station 200, and the base station 200 can isolate some of the noise generated by the dust cup assembly 100. The noise reduction module is arranged in the base station seat 200 to eliminate or reduce the dust collection noise generated by the dust cup assembly 100. The noise reduction module can further eliminate or reduce the noise generated by the dust cup assembly 100 when the base station seat 200 collects dust, so as to achieve the effect of reducing noise and improving the user experience.

[0197] According to the base station seat 200 of the embodiment of the present application, by setting a noise reduction module inside the base station seat 200, the noise reduction module can eliminate or reduce the dust collection noise generated by the dust cup assembly 100 when the base station seat 200 collects dust, so as to achieve the effect of reducing noise and improve the user experience.

[0198] According to some examples of the present application, with reference to FIG15 , the noise reduction module includes a sound wave generating assembly 970, which is used to emit sound waves to offset or weaken the sound source energy generated within the base station seat 200, thereby reducing the noise of the base station seat 200 and improving the user experience. For example, when the base station seat 200 is collecting dust, the sound source energy generated within the base station seat 200 may include the noise generated by the base station fan 300 and the noise generated by the dust collection hose 400. The sound wave generating assembly 970 can emit sound waves to offset or weaken the noise generated by the base station fan 300 and the noise generated by the dust collection hose 400.

[0199] In one example, the sound wave generating component 970 can also serve as an audio or human-computer interaction interface. The base station 200 can interact with the user through the sound wave generating component 970 to provide the user with music or meet the user's other inquiry needs; or when the dust cup 10 is full of garbage, the sound wave generating component 970 can make a sound to remind the user to clean the dust cup 10 in time; or when the base station 200 fails, the base station 200 can make a sound through the sound wave generating component 970 to remind the user to deal with it in time.

[0200] For example, the sound wave generating component 970 can emit a "reverse sound wave" with the same waveform as the sound waves of the noise of the base station fan 300 and the noise of the dust collecting hose 400. The sound wave generating component 970 can emit a "reverse sound wave" that is superimposed on the sound waves of the noise of the base station fan 300 and the noise of the dust collecting hose 400 in a manner that cancels each other out, thereby suppressing the noise of the base station fan 300 and the noise of the dust collecting hose 400.

[0201] According to some examples of the present application, with reference to FIG15 , the acoustic wave generating assembly 970 includes an acoustic wave sensor, an acoustic wave processor, and an acoustic wave transmitter. The acoustic wave sensor can be electrically connected to the acoustic wave processing circuit, and the acoustic wave processor can also be electrically connected to the acoustic wave transmitter. The acoustic wave sensor is used to collect sound source energy samples generated within the base station seat 200 and transmit the sound source energy samples to the acoustic wave processor. For example, the acoustic wave sensor can include a microphone. The acoustic wave processor analyzes and calculates the sound source energy samples, reverses the phase, amplifies the power, and filters out clutter. It generates a current with the same frequency and opposite phase as the sound source energy sample, and transmits the current to the acoustic wave transmitter. The acoustic wave transmitter converts the current into sound waves and transmits them in at least one direction within the base station seat 200. The sound waves can be emitted in one direction within the base station seat 200, or in multiple directions within the base station seat 200. At least one direction includes the direction in which the sound wave transmitter is directed toward the base station fan 300, so as to offset the sound source energy emitted from the base station seat 200 and achieve the effect of reducing noise. For example, the acoustic wave transmitter can include a speaker.

[0202] The sound waves emitted by the sound wave transmitter have the same frequency and opposite phase to the sound waves of the noise generated within the base station 200. Thus, the sound wave transmitter can suppress the noise generated within the base station 200. When the sound waves emitted by the sound wave transmitter and the sound waves of the noise generated within the base station 200 have the same frequency and opposite phase, the sound waves emitted by the sound wave transmitter can largely offset the sound waves of the noise generated within the base station 200, or effectively weaken the sound waves of the noise generated within the base station 200, thereby reducing the noise transmitted from the base station 200 to the outside world.

[0203] In one example, sound waves are emitted in multiple directions within the base station 200. The multiple directions may also include the direction of the sound wave emitter toward the dust cup 10, the direction of the sound wave emitter toward the dust collection hose 400, and the direction of the sound wave emitter toward the suction hose 500. Multiple sound wave emitters may be provided, and multiple sound wave emitters may be centrally arranged, facing the base station fan 300, the dust cup 10, the dust collection hose 400, and the suction hose 500, respectively. Multiple sound wave emitters may be provided separately, with one sound wave emitter being provided adjacent to the base station fan 300, one sound wave emitter being provided adjacent to the dust cup 10, one sound wave emitter being provided adjacent to the dust collection hose 400, and one sound wave emitter being provided adjacent to the suction hose 500. By providing multiple sound wave emitters, the noise generated within the base station 200 can be better offset or reduced.

[0204] According to some examples of the present application, referring to Figure 15, the sound wave generating component 970 is arranged near the base station fan 300. When the base station seat 200 collects dust, the noise generated by the base station fan 300 is relatively large, which allows the sound wave generating component 970 to better collect the sound source energy samples generated by the base station fan 300, and better analyze the sound source energy samples generated by the base station fan 300, which can further weaken or offset the noise generated by the base station fan 300, and thus better weaken or offset the noise generated in the base station seat 200.

[0205] According to some examples of the present application, referring to FIG15 , the noise reduction module includes a first sound-absorbing structure 980 disposed on a protective shell of the base station fan 300. The protective shell can be used to protect the base station fan 300, thereby preventing damage caused by exposure to the outside world and extending the service life of the base station fan 300. The first sound-absorbing structure 980 can absorb the noise generated by the base station fan 300 during operation, further reducing the noise transmitted to the outside world by the base station fan 300, thereby improving the user experience.

[0206] According to some examples of the present application, referring to Figures 13 and 15 , the protective shell includes an inner shell and an outer shell, with the outer shell disposed outside the inner shell. For example, the inner shell can be the base station base 200 of the base station fan 300. The first sound-absorbing structure 980 is a honeycomb-shaped recessed noise reduction structure. This structure is disposed on the outer wall of the inner shell, facilitating its installation. Furthermore, the honeycomb-shaped recessed noise reduction structure aligns with the base station fan 300, reducing the space occupied by the structure and, consequently, the volume of the base station base 200. Noise generated by the base station fan 300 during operation can be transmitted through the base station base 200 of the base station fan 300 to the honeycomb-shaped recessed noise reduction structure, where it is refracted and absorbed by the recessed honeycomb-shaped inner wall. The honeycomb-shaped recessed noise reduction structure increases the sound absorption area while also increasing the irregularity of reflected noise, thereby reducing the noise transmitted to the outside world by the base station fan 300. For example, the honeycomb-shaped recessed noise reduction structure can be made of polypropylene, flame-retardant foam, rubber, etc.

[0207] According to some examples of the present application, referring to Figures 13-15, the noise reduction module includes a second sound-absorbing structure provided on the dust cup 10. When the base station 200 is in operation, the garbage in the dust collection box of the sweeping robot 2000 can be collected into the dust storage chamber of the dust cup 10 through the dust collection interface 210. When the base station 200 is in operation, the base station fan 300 generates vibration noise, which can be transmitted to the dust cup 10. The second sound-absorbing structure can absorb the vibration noise of the dust cup 10, thereby reducing the noise transmitted from the base station 200 to the outside world.

[0208] According to some examples of the present application, with reference to Figures 13 to 15, the second sound-absorbing structure is a honeycomb-shaped concave noise reduction structure, which is provided on the outer wall and / or inner wall of the dust cup 10. The honeycomb-shaped concave noise reduction structure may be provided on the outer wall of the dust cup 10, or on the inner wall of the dust cup 10, or both the outer and inner walls of the dust cup 10 may be provided with honeycomb-shaped concave noise reduction structures. The noise generated by the base station seat 200 during operation can be conducted through the dust cup 10 to the honeycomb-shaped concave noise reduction structure, and absorbed by the refraction of the honeycomb-shaped inner wall concave. The provision of the honeycomb-shaped concave noise reduction structure increases the sound-absorbing area while increasing the irregularity of the reflected noise, thereby reducing the noise transmitted to the outside world by the base station seat 200.

[0209] According to some examples of the present application, referring to FIG15 , an exhaust port 230 is provided on the base station seat 200, and the dust cup 10 has an air inlet and an air outlet. The air inlet is connected to the dust collection interface 210, and the air inlet and the dust collection interface 210 can be connected through a dust collection hose 400. The dust cup assembly 100 also includes an air suction hose 500, and the base station fan 300 has an air inlet and an air outlet. One end of the air suction hose 500 is connected to the air outlet of the dust cup 10, and the other end of the air suction hose 500 is connected to the air inlet of the base station fan 300. The air outlet of the base station fan 300 is connected to the exhaust port 230. The dust collection system 1 controls the operation of the base station fan 300, so that suction is generated in the suction hose 500 to suck the gas in the dust cup 10 into the suction hose 500 through the air outlet. The gas in the suction hose 500 enters the base station fan 300 through the air inlet, enters the exhaust port 230 through the air outlet on the base station fan 300, and is discharged to the external environment through the exhaust port 230, so that a negative pressure is formed in the dust cup 10, so that the garbage in the dust collection box can enter the dust collection hose 400 through the dust collection outlet and the dust collection interface 210, and the garbage in the dust collection hose 400 can enter the dust storage chamber through the air inlet, thereby realizing dust collection for the sweeping robot 2000, meeting the dust collection requirements of the dust collection system 1, and the structure of the base station seat 200 is simple, which is convenient for realizing the dust collection function of the dust collection system 1.

[0210] The noise reduction module includes a third sound-absorbing structure, which is installed on the dust collection hose 400 and / or the air suction hose 500. The third sound-absorbing structure is installed on the dust collection hose 400 or the air suction hose 500. The third sound-absorbing structure is used to absorb the noise generated by the dust collection hose 400 and / or the air suction hose 500 when the base station 200 is collecting dust, thereby reducing the noise transmitted from the base station 200 to the outside world.

[0211] According to some examples of the present application, referring to Figures 13 and 15, the dust collecting hose 400 and the suction hose 500 both include bellows, which can reduce the vibration generated by the dust collecting hose 400 and the suction hose 500 during operation, thereby reducing the noise generated by the dust collecting hose 400 and the suction hose 500.

[0212] According to some examples of the present application, referring to Figures 13 and 15, the base station fan 300 is installed at the bottom of the base station seat 200. The base station fan 300 is heavy and will generate vibration when working. The base station fan 300 is installed at the bottom of the base station seat 200 to stabilize the base station seat 200, so that the base station seat 200 is not easy to shake when working.

[0213] According to some examples of the present application, the third sound-absorbing structure is a honeycomb-shaped concave noise reduction structure provided on the outer wall and / or inner wall of the dust collection hose 400. The third sound-absorbing structure can be a honeycomb-shaped concave noise reduction structure provided on the outer wall of the dust collection hose 400, or the third sound-absorbing structure can also be a honeycomb-shaped concave noise reduction structure provided on the inner wall of the dust collection hose 400, or the third sound-absorbing structure can also be a honeycomb-shaped concave noise reduction structure provided on both the outer wall and the inner wall of the dust collection hose 400. Providing the honeycomb-shaped concave noise reduction structure on the outer wall and / or the inner wall of the dust collection hose 400 can further reduce the noise generated by the dust collection hose 400 when the base station base 200 is in operation, thereby reducing the noise generated by the base station base 200 when the base station base 200 is in operation.

[0214] According to some examples of the present application, the third sound-absorbing structure is a honeycomb-shaped recessed noise reduction structure provided on the outer wall and / or inner wall of the suction hose 500. Alternatively, the third sound-absorbing structure may be a honeycomb-shaped recessed noise reduction structure provided on the outer wall of the suction hose 500, the third sound-absorbing structure may also be a honeycomb-shaped recessed noise reduction structure provided on the inner wall of the suction hose 500, or the third sound-absorbing structure may also be a honeycomb-shaped recessed noise reduction structure provided on both the outer wall and the inner wall of the suction hose 500. Providing the honeycomb-shaped recessed noise reduction structure on the outer wall and / or the inner wall of the suction hose 500 can further reduce the noise generated by the suction hose 500 when the base station seat 200 is in operation, thereby reducing the noise generated by the base station seat 200 when the base station seat 200 is in operation.

[0215] According to the second embodiment of the present application, the dust collection system 1 includes a base station 200 and a sweeping robot 2000 according to the first embodiment of the present application. The sweeping robot 2000 has a dust collection outlet, and the sweeping robot 2000 has a mating state in which it is mated with the base station 200 and a detached state in which it is detached from the base station 200. In the detached state, the sweeping robot 2000 is separated from the base station 200, and the sweeping robot 2000 can be controlled to clean, thereby meeting the cleaning requirements of the dust collection system 1. The sweeping robot 2000 is in the detached state. After cleaning is completed, the sweeping robot 2000 is mated with the base station 200, and the dust collection outlet is connected to the dust collection interface 210, thereby meeting the dust collection requirements of the dust collection system 1. The sweeping robot 2000 is in the mating state, capable of meeting the different working requirements of the dust collection system 1. The base station 200 has a first charging terminal 960, and the sweeping robot 2000 has a second charging terminal. When in the mating state, the second charging terminal is connected to the first charging terminal 960, and the base station 200 can charge the sweeping robot 2000 to meet the charging needs of the sweeping robot 2000.

[0216] According to the dust collection system 1 of the embodiment of the present application, by setting the above-mentioned base station seat 200, and by setting a noise reduction module inside the base station seat 200, the noise reduction module can eliminate or reduce the dust collection noise generated by the dust cup assembly 100 when the base station seat 200 collects dust, so as to achieve the effect of reducing noise and improve the user experience.

[0217] The following describes a base station 200 and a dust collection system 1 having the same according to an embodiment of the present application with reference to Figures 13 to 15.

[0218] In this embodiment, the base station 200 is used for a sweeping robot 2000. The sweeping robot 2000 has a mating state in which it is mated with the base station 200 and a detached state in which it is detached from the base station 200. In the detached state, the sweeping robot 2000 is separated from the base station 200. In the mating state, the sweeping robot 2000 is mated with the base station 200. The base station 200 includes the base station 200 and a first charging terminal 960. The base station 200 is provided with a dust collection interface 210. The sweeping robot 2000 has a dust collection outlet and a second charging terminal. In the mating state, the dust collection outlet is connected to the dust collection interface 210, meeting the dust collection needs of the sweeping robot 2000; and the second charging terminal is electrically connected to the first charging terminal 960, so that the base station 200 can charge the sweeping robot 2000, meeting the charging needs of the sweeping robot 2000.

[0219] The base station 200 also includes a noise reduction module. The dust cup assembly 100 and the noise reduction module are both located within the base station 200. The base station 200 is also provided with an exhaust vent 230. The dust cup 10 has an air inlet and an air outlet. A dust storage chamber is provided within the dust cup 10. The air inlet can connect the dust storage chamber with the dust collection interface 210. The dust cup assembly 100 includes a base station fan 300, a dust collection hose 400, and a suction hose 500. The base station fan 300 has an air inlet and an air outlet. One end of the suction hose 500 is connected to the air outlet of the dust cup 10, and the other end of the suction hose 500 is connected to the air inlet, while the air outlet is connected to the exhaust vent 230. The dust collection hose 400 and the suction hose 500 both include bellows, which can reduce the vibration generated by the dust collection hose 400 and the suction hose 500 during operation, thereby reducing the noise generated by the dust collection hose 400 and the suction hose 500.

[0220] The noise reduction module includes a sound wave generating component 970, a first sound absorbing structure 980, a second sound absorbing structure and a third sound absorbing structure. The noise reduction module can eliminate or reduce the dust collection noise generated by the dust cup component 100, reduce the noise transmitted to the outside world by the base station seat 200, and improve the user experience.

[0221] The sound wave generating component 970 can also be used as an audio or human-computer interaction interface. The base station 200 can interact with the user through the sound wave generating component 970; when the dust cup 10 is full of garbage or the base station 200 fails, the base station 200 can make a sound through the sound wave generating component 970 to remind the user to deal with it in time.

[0222] The sound wave generating assembly 970 includes a sound wave sensor, a sound wave processor, and a sound wave transmitter. The sound wave sensor is used to collect sound source energy samples within the base station seat 200 and transmit the sound source energy samples to the sound wave processor; the sound wave processor performs a series of processes on the sound source energy samples, including analysis and calculation, phase inversion, power amplification, and clutter filtering, to generate a current with the same frequency and opposite phase as the sound source energy sample, and transmits the current to the sound wave transmitter; the sound wave transmitter converts the current into a sound wave and transmits it into the base station seat 200 to offset the sound source energy generated within the base station seat 200 and achieve the effect of reducing noise. The sound wave transmitter can be set to multiple, and multiple sound wave transmitters can emit sound waves in the direction of the base station fan 300, the dust cup 10, the dust collection hose 400, and the suction hose 500.

[0223] The sound wave generating component 970 is arranged near the base station fan 300, so that the sound wave generating component 970 can better weaken or offset the sound source energy sample generated by the base station fan 300, and can further weaken or offset the noise generated by the base station fan 300.

[0224] A protective shell is provided on the outside of the base station fan 300. The noise reduction module includes a first sound-absorbing structure 980 provided on the protective shell of the base station fan 300. The protective shell includes an inner shell, an outer shell, and the first sound-absorbing structure 980. The outer shell is provided on the outside of the inner shell (the outer shell refers to the side away from the center of the base station fan 300). The first sound-absorbing structure 980 is a honeycomb-shaped recessed noise reduction structure provided on the outer wall of the inner shell. The material of the honeycomb-shaped recessed noise reduction structure can be polypropylene, flame-retardant foam, rubber, etc. A second sound-absorbing structure is provided on the dust cup 10. The second sound-absorbing structure is a honeycomb-shaped recessed noise reduction structure provided on the outer wall and / or inner wall of the dust cup 10. The third sound-absorbing structure is a honeycomb-shaped recessed noise reduction structure provided on the outer wall and / or inner wall of the dust collection hose 400. The third sound-absorbing structure can also be a honeycomb-shaped recessed noise reduction structure provided on the outer wall and / or inner wall of the suction hose 500. The first sound absorbing structure 980 , the second sound absorbing structure and the third sound absorbing structure can absorb the noise generated when the base station 200 is working, so as to reduce the noise transmitted from the base station 200 to the outside world.

[0225] The honeycomb-shaped recessed noise reduction structure can fill the gap between the base station 200 and the dust cup assembly 100 as much as possible. The honeycomb-shaped recessed noise reduction structure can be removably installed on the inner wall of the base station 200, making it easy to replace the honeycomb-shaped recessed noise reduction structure later. The honeycomb-shaped recessed noise reduction structure can absorb the noise generated by the dust cup assembly 100 when the base station 200 is in operation, thereby minimizing the noise inside the base station 200 from being transmitted outside the base station 200.

[0226] In the mating state, the dust collection outlet is connected to the dust collection interface 210, the sweeping robot 2000 is mated with the base station 200, and the dust collection system 1 can collect dust from the sweeping robot 2000. The dust collection system 1 can control the base station fan 300 to operate, so that suction is generated in the suction hose 500 to suck the gas in the dust cup 10 into the suction hose 500 through the air outlet. The gas in the suction hose 500 enters the base station fan 300 through the air inlet, enters the exhaust port 230 through the air outlet on the base station fan 300, and is discharged into the external environment through the exhaust port 230, so that negative pressure is formed in the dust cup 10. Therefore, the garbage in the dust collection box can enter the dust collection hose 400 through the dust collection outlet and the dust collection interface 210. The garbage in the dust collection hose 400 can be collected into the dust storage chamber of the dust cup 10 through the air inlet, thereby realizing dust collection for the sweeping robot 2000 and meeting the dust collection requirements of the dust collection system 1.

[0227] In some examples of the present application, as shown in FIG16 , the dust collection interface 210 can be located on the lower side of the dust cup assembly 100 (in the up-down direction as shown in FIG16 ) and formed on the front side (in the front-back direction as shown in FIG16 ) surface of the base station seat 200. Thus, forming the dust collection interface 210 on the front side surface of the base station seat 200 can facilitate the docking of the sweeping robot with the dust collection interface 210 of the dust collection base station 1000. The reasonable arrangement of the dust collection interface 210 makes it easier for the dust collection base station 1000 to cooperate with the sweeping robot. The dust collection interface 210 is located on the lower side of the dust cup assembly 100. Since the dust inlet is located at the bottom of the dust cup assembly 100, this arrangement can shorten the distance between the dust inlet and the dust collection interface 210, thereby shortening the length of the dust collection air duct, thereby improving the dust collection efficiency of the dust collection base station 1000.

[0228] In some examples of the present application, as shown in Figures 16 and 17, the base station 200 may include: a main frame 240, a support platform 250, and a dust collection pipe 400. In some embodiments, the main frame 240 extends vertically (in the up-down direction as shown in Figure 16); the support platform 250 is horizontally arranged and disposed on the front side of the main frame 240, the dust cup assembly 100 is disposed on the upper side of the support platform 250 and supported on the support platform 250; the dust collection pipe 400 is disposed on the lower side of the support platform 250, and the inner side of the dust collection pipe 400 defines a dust collection air duct, one end of the dust collection pipe 400 is formed as a dust collection interface 210, and the other end of the dust collection pipe 400 passes through the support platform 250 and is connected to the dust inlet.

[0229] Therefore, the base station seat 200 is provided with a main frame 240 and a support platform 250, so that the dust cup assembly 100 and the base station seat 200 are installed and fixed more firmly. At the same time, the support platform 250 is arranged on the front side of the main frame 240, and the dust collecting pipe 400 is located on the lower side of the support platform 250, so that the horizontal distance between the dust collecting interface 210 and the dust inlet of the dust cup assembly 100 can be very small, thereby making the length of the dust collecting air duct formed by the dust collecting pipe 400 shorter, thereby improving the dust collection efficiency of the dust collecting base station 1000. In some embodiments, the dust collecting pipe 400 is formed into a curved pipe structure at the portion where the inlet section of the dust collecting air duct is connected to the extension section. Furthermore, the base station seat 200 can also include a rear shell, which is vertically arranged and cooperates with the main frame and the support platform to form the shell structure of the base station seat 200.

[0230] In some examples of the present application, as shown in Figures 17 and 18, the dust collection base station 1000 may further include: a suction pipe 500, the suction pipe 500 being a hose, with both ends of the suction pipe 500 being connected to the base station fan 300 and the air outlet position, respectively. Thus, when the base station fan 300 is performing a suction operation, the base station fan 300 sucks the dust cup assembly 100 and the dust collection pipe 400 through the suction pipe 500, which has a simple structure and a good diversion effect. Setting the suction pipe 500 as a hose can facilitate the connection of the suction pipe 500 to the base station base, thereby improving installation efficiency and reducing the production cost of the dust collection base station 1000. Preferably, the suction pipe 500 can be made of PP (polypropylene) or PVC (polyvinyl chloride), which can ensure the flexibility of the suction pipe 500, facilitate the connection of the suction pipe 500, and also ensure the strength of the suction pipe 500, thereby increasing the service life of the suction pipe 500.

[0231] In one example of the present application, as shown in FIG17 , the dust collection base station 1000 may further include: a second adapter 820 and a first adapter 810 , both of which are detachably connected to the base station base 200 , one end of the second adapter 820 being connected to the air outlet and the other end being plugged into one end of the suction pipe 500 , and one end of the first adapter 810 being connected to the base station fan 300 and the other end being plugged into the other end of the suction pipe 500 . Preferably, the second adapter 820 and the first adapter 810 may be screwed or snap-fitted to the base station base 200 .

[0232] Thus, the provision of the second adapter 820 and the first adapter 810 allows the suction duct 500 to adapt to different air outlets and interfaces of the base station fan 300, thereby improving the versatility of the suction duct 500. Furthermore, compared to the prior art solution in which the suction duct 500 needs to be individually adapted to the air outlet and interfaces of the base station fan 300 for different dust collection base stations 1000, the suction duct 500 of this embodiment can be used with different base stations 200, eliminating the need for separate molds for different base stations 200, thereby reducing production costs. The removable connection of the second adapter 820 and the first adapter 810 to the base station 200 facilitates installation and removal of the second adapter 820 and the first adapter 810, improving assembly efficiency and maintenance and replacement efficiency.

[0233] In some examples of the present application, as shown in FIG17 , at least part of the dust collection duct and the suction duct can be located on the same side of the dust cup assembly 100. Thus, by arranging at least part of the dust collection duct and the suction duct on the same side of the dust cup assembly 100, the dust collection duct and the suction duct are arranged more compactly in the base station 200, which facilitates shortening the dust flow path and improving the dust collection efficiency of the dust collection base station 1000. At the same time, the arrangement of the dust collection duct and the suction duct is simpler and clearer, thereby making it easier and more convenient to arrange other components of the dust collection base station 1000 on the base station 200.

[0234] In one embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIG17 , the dust inlet and the air outlet can be formed on the outer surface of the rear side of the dust cup assembly 100, and part of the dust collection duct and at least part of the suction duct are located on the rear side of the dust cup assembly 100 and arranged in the left-right direction (the left-right direction as shown in FIG17 ). It is understandable that when the dust collection base station 1000 is in use, the user usually places the rear side of the dust collection base station 1000 close to a wall or a corner of a house so that the dust collection base station 1000 does not cause significant interference with the user's daily activities, and the dust cup assembly 100 in the dust collection base station 1000 is cleaned from time to time. Since the dust collection duct and the suction duct need to occupy a large space of the base station seat 200, arranging the dust collection duct and the suction duct on the rear side of the dust cup assembly 100 can make it more convenient for the user to clean the dust cup assembly 100, and the arrangement is more reasonable.

[0235] The dust collecting base station 1000 of this embodiment arranges the dust inlet of the dust cup assembly 100 on the outer surface of the rear side of the dust cup assembly 100, so that the dust collecting air duct can be connected to the dust inlet more conveniently and directly, avoiding more turns, making the path of the dust collecting air duct shorter and smoother, and thus making the dust gas flow smoothly and in a shorter path in the dust collecting air duct, thereby further improving the dust collection efficiency of the dust collecting base station 1000.

[0236] The dust collecting base station 1000 of this embodiment arranges the air outlet of the dust cup assembly 100 on the outer surface of the rear side of the dust cup assembly 100, so that the suction duct can be more conveniently and directly connected to the air outlet, avoiding more turns, making the path of the suction duct shorter and smoother, and thus enabling the base station fan 300 to better suck the dust cup's accommodating cavity through the suction duct, thereby improving the dust collection effect of the dust collecting base station 1000.

[0237] In some examples of the present application, as shown in FIG16 , the dust cup assembly 100 can be arranged on the upper side of the base station seat 200, with the dust inlet and the air outlet formed at the upper portion of the dust cup assembly 100, and the dust collection interface 210 and the base station fan 300 arranged at the lower portion of the base station seat 200. Thus, placing the dust cup assembly 100 on the upper side of the base station seat 200 can facilitate user access, making it more convenient for the user to clean or move the dust cup assembly 100, and providing a better user experience. Forming the dust inlet and the air outlet at the upper portion of the dust cup assembly 100 can facilitate the dust cup assembly 100 in storing dust, garbage, and other debris, making the design of the dust cup assembly 100 more convenient.

[0238] It is understandable that in order to meet the needs of indoor cleaning, sweeping robots are usually small and low in size so that they can enter the bottom of furniture, cabinets, etc. for cleaning. When the dust collection base station 1000 collects and stores dust and debris in the sweeping robot, the dust collection interface 210 where the dust collection base station 1000 is docked with the sweeping robot needs to adapt to the height of the sweeping robot. Therefore, setting the dust collection interface 210 at the lower part of the base station seat 200 can make it more convenient for the sweeping robot and the dust collection base station 1000 to cooperate in operation.

[0239] The dust collecting base station 1000 of this embodiment sets the base fan at the lower part of the base station seat 200, which can make the overall center of gravity of the dust collecting base station 1000 lower, so that the dust collecting base station 1000 has better stability when placed, reasonable layout, and reliable use.

[0240] In some examples of the present application, as shown in FIG18 , the dust collection duct can be located at the bottom of the dust cup assembly 100, and the dust inlet can be formed at the bottom of the dust cup assembly 100. Thus, by setting the dust inlet at the bottom of the dust cup assembly 100 and the dust collection duct at the bottom of the dust cup assembly 100, the distance between the dust inlet and the dust collection interface 210 is very short, thereby greatly shortening the length of the dust collection duct. When the dust collection base station 1000 collects and stores dust and debris, the dust flow process in the dust collection duct is shorter, thereby improving the dust collection efficiency of the dust collection base station 1000.

[0241] In one embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIG18 , the dust collection duct may include: an inlet section and an extension section, wherein the inlet section extends horizontally and has one end connected to the dust collection interface 210, one end of the extension section is connected to the other end of the inlet section, and the other end of the extension section extends vertically upward to the dust inlet. Thus, by extending the inlet section horizontally and having one end connected to the dust collection interface 210, dust can be more quickly and easily introduced into the dust collection duct from the dust collection interface 210. Furthermore, since the dust collection interface 210 is located on the front surface of the base station 200, extending the inlet section horizontally allows for better connection and coordination with the dust collection interface 210.

[0242] The extension section is vertically arranged and connected to the inlet section and the dust inlet, so that the dust gas can flow vertically upward from the inlet section to the dust inlet, so that the dust gas can flow into the dust cup assembly 100 more quickly to store and collect dust and debris. The dust collection air duct is arranged with a horizontally extending inlet section and a vertically extending extension section, so that the dust collection air duct has a fewer bend structure, thereby reducing the flow resistance of the dust gas in the dust collection air duct. The dust gas can flow more quickly and easily in the dust collection air duct, thereby improving the dust collection efficiency of the dust collection base station 1000.

[0243] In one embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIG18 , the suction duct can be disposed on the rear side of the dust cup assembly 100, and the base station fan 300 can be disposed on the rear side of the base station seat 200. Thus, disposing the base fan on the rear side of the base station seat 200 can make the overall structure of the dust collection base station 1000 more stable and its operation more reliable. Forming the air outlet on the rear side of the upper portion of the dust cup assembly 100 facilitates communication between the air outlet and the base station fan 300 located on the rear side, resulting in a more reasonable arrangement.

[0244] In one embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIG20 , the air outlet can be formed at the top of the dust cup assembly 100, and the base station fan can be provided at the top of the dust cup assembly 100. This can further shorten the distance between the base station fan 300 and the air outlet, thereby enabling the base station fan 300 to perform suction operations more efficiently, thereby further improving the dust collection efficiency of the dust collection base station 1000.
