[0029] The embodiments of the present application are described in detail below. Implementations of the embodiments are illustrated 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 only used to explain the present application and are not to be construed as limiting the present application.

[0030] In the description of the embodiments of this application, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of the indicated technical features. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the described features. In the description of the embodiments of this application, the meaning of "plurality" is two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0031] A cleaning robot is usually equipped with a corresponding base station, which is usually equipped with a tray to assist the cleaning robot in cleaning the mopping parts. After the base station has been cleaning the mopping parts for a long time, a lot of dirt will accumulate in the tray, which requires cleaning the tray. Currently, the cleaning of the tray is usually done manually, and the cleaning efficiency of the manual cleaning method is low. To solve this problem, the present application provides a tray 100 (as shown in Figure 1), a base station 1000 (as shown in Figure 5), a cleaning system 10000 (as shown in Figure 8), and a cleaning method for the cleaning system (as shown in Figure 13).

[0032] In one embodiment, the tray 100 is provided with a cleaning tank 10. The cleaning tank 20 is used to clean the mopping member 3001 of the cleaning robot 3000, thereby keeping the mopping member 3001 relatively clean. When the clean mopping member 3001 cleans the surface to be cleaned, the mopping member 3001 effectively cleans the surface to be cleaned. When the tray 100 is provided with the cleaning tank 10, the tray 100 effectively cleans the mopping member 3001.

[0033] In another embodiment, the tray 100 is provided with a drain chute 30. The drain chute 30 allows waste from the dirty water tank 3005 of the cleaning robot 3000 to be drained from the drain chute 30. The drain chute 30 also allows waste from the mopping and wiping member 3001 of the cleaning robot 3000 to be drained from the drain chute 30 while it is being cleaned in the base station 1000. When the tray 100 is provided with the drain chute 30, waste is drained from the drain chute 30, preventing excessive accumulation of dirt in the tray 100.

[0034] Referring to Figures 1 and 2 , in a first aspect, embodiments of the present application provide a tray 100 having a cleaning tank 10 and a drain tank 30. The drain tank 30 is connected to the cleaning tank 10. The drain tank 30 has a first outlet 31 for receiving waste flowing from the cleaning tank 10. The first outlet 31 is used to guide waste in the drain tank 30 out of the tray 100.

[0035] Specifically, referring to Figures 5 and 8 , the tray 100 of the present application is a structure applied to a base station 1000 (shown in Figure 5 ). The base station 1000 is a device used to maintain, service, and charge a cleaning device 3000 (shown in Figure 8 ). The cleaning device 3000 includes cleaning robots and handheld floor scrubbers. The cleaning device 3000 of the present application is described using a cleaning robot 3000 as an example. The cleaning robot 3000 includes a mopping member 3001 . For example, the base station 1000 can clean the mopping member 3001 (shown in Figure 9 ) of the cleaning robot 3000 and can also charge the cleaning robot 3000. Furthermore, the base station 1000 can also have at least one of the following functions: water replenishment, drainage, and dust collection for the cleaning robot 3000. If the mopping member 3001 of the cleaning robot 3000 becomes dirty and / or low on power, the cleaning robot 3000 returns to the base station 1000 to clean and / or recharge the mopping member 3001. Once the mopping element 3001 of the cleaning robot 3000 has finished cleaning and / or is fully charged, the cleaning robot 3000 can leave the base station 1000 and continue cleaning the surface to be cleaned. The tray 100 is used to carry and support the cleaning robot 3000 when it enters the base station 1000. The tray 100 also serves to hold the mopping element 3001 of the cleaning robot 3000 during cleaning.

[0036] The cleaning robot 3000 is a device for cleaning a surface to be cleaned. The surface to be cleaned can be, but is not limited to, a floor, a marble surface, or a glass surface. This application uses the floor as an example for description. For example, the cleaning robot 3000 may include a sweeping robot, a mopping robot, and a sweeping and mopping robot. A sweeping robot can be used to sweep the surface to be cleaned, while a mopping robot can be used to wipe and clean the surface to be cleaned. A sweeping and mopping robot can combine the functions of both robots, i.e., a sweeping and mopping robot can be used to sweep the surface to be cleaned, while a sweeping and mopping robot can also be used to wipe and clean the surface to be cleaned. The cleaning robot 3000 of this application is described using a sweeping and mopping robot as an example. The mopping member 3001 of the cleaning robot 3000 is used to contact and wipe the surface to be cleaned. After cleaning the surface to be cleaned, some dirt may remain on the mopping member 3001. After the cleaning robot 3000 returns to the base station 1000, the mopping member 3001 can be cleaned in the tray 100. After the mopping and wiping member 3001 is cleaned, the dirt on the mopping and wiping member 3001 will flow into the tray 100 .

[0037] Referring to Figures 1 and 2, the cleaning tank 10 is a structure for cleaning the mop 3001. After the cleaning robot 3000 enters the base station 1000 and the mop 3001 enters the cleaning tank 10, the base station 1000 can spray liquid on the mop 3001 to clean it, flushing away dirt (the flushed dirt flows into the cleaning tank 10). The liquid here can be, but is not limited to, clean water or a cleaning liquid containing a cleaning solution. The area of ​​the cleaning tank 10 can be equal to the horizontal projection area of ​​the mop 3001 when housed in the base station 100. This reduces the overall size of the base station 1000, making it easier to transport and store it. The area of ​​the cleaning tank 10 can also be larger than the horizontal projection area of ​​the mop 3001 when housed in the base station 1000. At this time, after the cleaning robot 3000 enters the base station 1000 , the cleaning robot 3000 and the base station 1000 do not need precise positioning, and the mopping member 3001 can enter the cleaning tank 10 , and the mopping member 3001 can enter the cleaning tank 10 more easily.

[0038] Referring to Figure 9 , the mop 3001 of the present application is a track-type mop 3001 or a roller-type mop 3001. When housed in the base station 1000, the mop 3001 is typically square in shape when horizontally projected. This square shape is not limited to square or rectangular. In certain embodiments, the cleaning tank 10 may be square to accommodate the track-type mop 3001 or the roller-type mop 3001 of the cleaning robot 3000. The shape of the cleaning tank 10 may be the same as the horizontal projection of the mop 3001 when housed in the base station 1000, allowing the mop 3001 to fully enter the cleaning tank 10 and perform cleaning operations therein.

[0039] While the mopping member 3001 is cleaning in the washing tank 10, dirt in the washing tank 10 flows into the drain trough 30, preventing dirt from accumulating in the washing tank 10. This dirt can include both liquid and solid dirt. When dirt in the washing tank 10 flows into the drain trough 30, the washing tank 10 can remain relatively clean. Dirt flushed from the mopping member 3001 does not accumulate in the washing tank 10 and return to the mopping member 3001, resulting in a better cleaning effect for the mopping member 3001 in the washing tank 10. Furthermore, after the mopping member 3001 is cleaned in the washing tank 10, the washing tank 10 is also relatively clean, preventing dirt from accumulating therein, thus eliminating the need for manual re-cleaning. Dirt flowing from the washing tank 10 into the drain trough 30 can flow out through the first outlet 31, preventing dirt from accumulating therein. The drain trough 30 can also remain relatively clean, eliminating the need for manual re-cleaning.

[0040] The tray 100 of the present embodiment is provided with a cleaning tank 10 and a drain tank 30, and the cleaning tank 10 and the drain tank 30 are connected. Dirt in the cleaning tank 10 can flow into the drain tank 30 and out of the tray 100 through the first outlet 31, thereby preventing a large amount of dirt from accumulating in the tray 100. Compared to the existing tray 100, the tray 100 of the present application allows dirt to flow out of the tray 100 on its own, eliminating the need for manual cleaning of the tray 100 and achieving a high self-cleaning efficiency.

[0041] The tray 100 will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0042] Please refer to FIG. 2 . In some embodiments, in the thickness direction Z of the tray 100 , the lowest point of the cleaning tank 10 is higher than or equal to the highest point of the drainage tank 30 .

[0043] In one embodiment, the lowest point of the cleaning tank 10 is higher than the highest point of the drain tank 30. At this time, the dirt in the cleaning tank 10 can flow smoothly into the drain tank 30 due to gravity and flow out from the first outlet 31. The dirt in the tray 100 can be quickly discharged from the tray 100, which can avoid the problem of dirt accumulation in the tray 100. In another embodiment, in the thickness direction Z of the tray 100, the lowest point of the cleaning tank 10 and the highest point of the drain tank 30 are at the same horizontal plane. At this time, the liquid in the cleaning tank 10 will flow from the lowest point of the cleaning tank 10 to the drain tank 30 due to gravity and flow out from the first outlet 31, so that dirt will not accumulate in the tray 100.

[0044] Referring to Figures 1 and 2 , in certain embodiments, the tray 100 includes a first side 101 and a second side 103, which are opposite to each other in the thickness direction. The cleaning tank 10 and the sewage drain 30 are both located on the first side 101. The first side 101 of the tray 100 is the upper side, and the second side 103 of the tray 100 is the lower side. After the cleaning robot 3000 enters the base station 1000, it contacts the first side 101 of the tray 100, allowing the mopping member 3001 to enter the cleaning tank 10 for cleaning.

[0045] 1 and 2 , in some embodiments, the vertical distances between the bottom surface of the cleaning tank 10 and the surface of the first side 101 of the tray 100 or an extension of the surface are the same at all locations.

[0046] Specifically, the bottom surface of the cleaning tank 10 is parallel to the surface on which the first side 101 of the tray 100 is located. When the tray 100 is placed on a horizontal surface, or when the tray 100 is placed within the base station 1000 and the base station 1000 is also placed on a horizontal surface, the surface on which the first side 101 of the tray 100 is located is horizontal, meaning that the bottom surface of the cleaning tank 10 is parallel to the horizontal plane. In this case, the contact area between the bottom surface of the cleaning tank 10 and the mopping member 3001 is large, resulting in a better cleaning effect of the mopping member 3001 within the cleaning tank 10. Wastewater cleaned by the mopping member 3001 within the cleaning tank 10 flows into the lower drain trough 30 due to gravity and is discharged out of the tray 100 through the first outlet 31.

[0047] In the thickness direction Z of the tray 100, the height of the bottom surface of the cleaning tank 10 is equal at all locations, so that the entire bottom surface of the cleaning tank 10 is higher than or equal to the highest point of the drain tank 30. In one example, in the thickness direction Z of the tray 100, the height of the bottom surface of the drain tank 30 is equal at all locations, that is, the bottom surface of the drain tank 30 is parallel to the bottom surface of the cleaning tank 10 (the bottom surface of the drain tank 30 is a horizontal plane). At this time, in the thickness direction Z of the tray 100, the bottom surface of the cleaning tank 10 is higher than or equal to the bottom surface of the drain tank 30. In another example, in the thickness direction Z of the tray 100, the bottom surface of the drain tank 30 is an inclined surface. At this time, in the thickness direction of the tray 100 assembly, the bottom surface of the cleaning tank 10 is higher than or equal to the highest point of the bottom surface of the drain tank 30.

[0048] Please refer to Figures 1 and 2. In other embodiments, the cleaning tank 10 and the sewage tank 30 are connected in sequence along the direction of the cleaning robot 3000 entering the tray 100, and the bottom surface of the cleaning tank 10 gradually tilts downward along the direction of the cleaning robot 3000 entering the tray 100.

[0049] Specifically, the gradually downward slope of the bottom surface of the cleaning tank 10 means that the vertical distance between the bottom surface of the cleaning tank 10 and the second side 103 of the tray 100 gradually decreases as the cleaning robot 3000 enters the tray 100. In other words, the vertical distance between the bottom surface of the cleaning tank 10 and the surface of the first side 101 of the tray 100, or an extension of that surface, gradually increases as the cleaning robot 3000 moves from the cleaning tank 10 to the sewage drain 30. When the tray 100 is placed on a horizontal surface, or when the tray 100 is placed within the base station 1000 and the base station 1000 is placed on a horizontal surface, the surface of the second side 103 of the tray 100, or an extension of that surface, is a horizontal surface.

[0050] Along the length direction X of the tray 100, the extension direction of the bottom surface of the cleaning tank 10 intersects with the length direction X of the tray 100. In the thickness direction Z of the tray 100, the side of the bottom surface of the cleaning tank 10 close to the drain trough 30 is closer to the second side 103 of the tray 100 than the side of the bottom surface of the cleaning tank 10 away from the drain trough 30. In other words, the bottom surface of the cleaning tank 10 is inclined toward the drain trough 30. At this time, the inclined bottom surface of the cleaning tank 10 has a guiding effect on the dirt in the cleaning tank 10. Due to gravity, the liquid in the cleaning tank 10 can flow along the bottom surface of the cleaning tank 10 to the drain trough 30. The dirt that flows into the drain trough 30 can be discharged from the first outlet 31. The dirt in the cleaning tank 10 can flow quickly and completely into the drain trough 30, and the dirt will not accumulate in the cleaning tank 10.

[0051] In the thickness direction Z of the tray 100, the height of the bottom surface of the cleaning tank 10 on the side close to the drain tank 30 is lower than the height of the bottom surface of the cleaning tank 10 on the side away from the drain tank 30. In one example, in the thickness direction Z of the tray 100, the height of the bottom surface of the drain tank 30 is equal at all locations, that is, the bottom surface of the drain tank 30 is a horizontal plane. In this case, in the thickness direction Z of the tray 100, the lowest point of the bottom surface of the cleaning tank 10 is higher than or equal to the bottom surface of the drain tank 30. In another example, in the thickness direction Z of the tray 100, the bottom surface of the drain tank 30 is an inclined surface. In this case, in the thickness direction of the tray 100 assembly, the lowest point of the bottom surface of the cleaning tank 10 is higher than or equal to the highest point of the bottom surface of the drain tank 30.

[0052] Referring to Figures 1 and 2 , in some embodiments, the cleaning tank 10 and the drainage tank 30 are sequentially connected in the direction in which the cleaning robot 3000 enters the tray 100. This allows waste within the cleaning tank 10 to flow directly and quickly into the drainage tank 30 and out through the first outlet 31, preventing accumulation of liquid and waste within the tray 100. Furthermore, the cleaning tank 10 and the drainage tank 30 are compact, minimizing the overall size of the tray 100. This makes the tray 100 easier to transport and store.

[0053] In other embodiments, the cleaning tank 10 and the drain tank 30 are spaced apart from each other along the direction in which the cleaning robot 3000 enters the tray 100. In this case, when the spray holes 33 of the drain tank 30 spray liquid into the drain tank 30 to clean the drain tank 30, the dirt in the drain tank 30 will not splash into the cleaning tank 10, and the cleaning tank 10 can be kept relatively clean.

[0054] In other embodiments, the cleaning tank 10 is arranged around the drain tank 30. In this case, the dirt in the cleaning tank 10 can flow directly into the drain tank 30 and flow out from the first outlet 31. The flow process of the dirt in the cleaning tank 10 into the drain tank 30 is relatively short, so that the dirt in the tray 100 can be quickly discharged from the tray 100, and the dirt will not accumulate in the tray 100. In addition, the area of ​​the tray 100 occupied by the cleaning tank 10 and the drain tank 30 is relatively small, thereby reducing the overall volume of the tray 100. When the volume of the tray 100 is relatively small, the tray 100 is easy to carry and store. The cleaning tank 10 and the drain tank 30 of the present application are connected in sequence.

[0055] In some embodiments, the cleaning tank 10 is provided with a liquid outlet 11 for spraying liquid into the cleaning tank 10. The liquid sprayed by the liquid outlet 11 can be clean water or a cleaning liquid containing a cleaning solution. When the liquid is clean water, the cost of cleaning the tray 100 is lower. When the liquid is a cleaning liquid containing a cleaning solution, the cleaning effect of the tray 100 is better.

[0056] While the mop / wiping member 3001 is being cleaned in the cleaning tank 10, the liquid outlet 11 sprays liquid into the cleaning tank 10, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the mop / wiping member 3001. After the dirt cleaned by the mop / wiping member 3001 flows from the cleaning tank 10 into the drainage tank 30, the liquid outlet 11 sprays liquid into the cleaning tank 10 to flush the dirt remaining in the cleaning tank 10 into the drainage tank 30. The liquid outlet 11 sprays liquid into the cleaning tank 10, effectively cleaning the cleaning tank 10 and preventing dirt from remaining in the cleaning tank 10.

[0057] When the mop 3001 is being cleaned in the cleaning tank 10, the flow rate of the liquid sprayed from the liquid outlet 11 into the cleaning tank 10 can be relatively high, thereby further improving the cleaning effect of the mop 3001. When the cleaning tank 10 is being cleaned, the flow rate of the liquid sprayed from the liquid outlet 11 into the cleaning tank 10 can be relatively low. This low flow rate of liquid can flush dirt in the cleaning tank 10 into the drain tank 30, thereby saving liquid usage.

[0058] In other embodiments, the drain trough 30 is provided with a spray hole 33, and the spray hole 33 is used to spray liquid toward the drain trough 30. The liquid sprayed by the spray hole 33 can be clean water or a cleaning liquid added with a cleaning liquid.

[0059] The dirt in the cleaning tank 10 flows into the drain tank 30. Most of the dirt in the drain tank 30 can flow directly out of the first outlet 31, while a small amount of dirt may remain in the drain tank 30. The spray hole 33 sprays liquid into the drain tank 30 to flush the dirt remaining in the drain tank 30, so that the dirt is discharged from the first outlet 31. The spray hole 33 sprays liquid into the drain tank 30, which can effectively clean the drain tank 30 and prevent dirt from remaining in the drain tank 30.

[0060] Referring to Figures 1 and 2 , in other embodiments, the cleaning tank 10 is provided with a liquid outlet 11 for spraying liquid into the cleaning tank 10, and the drainage tank 30 is further provided with a spray hole 33 for spraying liquid into the drainage tank 30. When the tray 100 is provided with the liquid outlet 11 and the spray hole 33, the liquid sprayed from the liquid outlet 11 can effectively clean the cleaning tank 10, and the liquid sprayed from the spray hole 33 can effectively clean the drainage tank 30, thereby achieving a better cleaning effect on the tray 100. The tray 100 can achieve a self-cleaning function, eliminating the need for manual cleaning, which can enhance the user experience and provide a high cleaning efficiency.

[0061] The number of liquid outlet holes 11 can be one or more. When there is only one liquid outlet hole 11, the structure of the cleaning tank 10 is relatively simple, and the processing of the cleaning tank 10 is relatively simple. When there are multiple liquid outlet holes 11, the multiple liquid outlet holes 11 spray liquid into the cleaning tank 10, and the liquid can flow to various positions in the cleaning tank 10, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the cleaning tank 10 and almost eliminating the accumulation of dirt in the cleaning tank 10. The number of liquid outlet holes 11 in the present application includes multiple, and the multiple liquid outlet holes 11 are arranged at intervals in the cleaning tank 10.

[0062] Referring to Figures 1 and 2, in some embodiments, a plurality of liquid outlets 11 are provided on at least one inner sidewall of the cleaning tank 10. Specifically, when the cleaning tank 10 is circular, it includes an inner sidewall 13, and the plurality of liquid outlets 11 may be evenly or unevenly distributed on the inner sidewall 13 of the cleaning tank 10. Preferably, the plurality of liquid outlets 11 are evenly distributed on the inner sidewall 13 of the cleaning tank 10. When the liquid outlets 11 spray liquid into the cleaning tank 10, liquid flows through all locations of the cleaning tank 10, thereby carrying the waste within the cleaning tank 10 to the drain trough 30, thereby achieving a better cleaning effect of the cleaning tank 10.

[0063] When the cleaning tank 10 is square in shape, the cleaning tank 10 includes four sides. One side of the cleaning tank 10 is connected to the drain tank 30, so that the cleaning tank 10 may include three inner sidewalls 13. In this case, the multiple liquid outlet holes 11 can be provided on one of the inner sidewalls 13, the multiple liquid outlet holes 11 can also be provided on two of the inner sidewalls 13, or the multiple liquid outlet holes 11 can also be provided on three inner sidewalls 13. Preferably, the multiple liquid outlet holes 11 are arranged in an array on an inner sidewall 13 of the cleaning tank 10 away from the drain tank 30, and the liquid outlet holes 11 face the drain tank 30. In this case, the liquid sprayed from the liquid outlet holes 11 toward the cleaning tank 10 tends to flow toward the drain tank 30. After entering the cleaning tank 10, the liquid can carry the dirt in the cleaning tank 10 to the drain tank 30, thereby preventing excessive dirt from remaining in the cleaning tank 10.

[0064] Referring to Figures 1 and 2 , in some other embodiments, multiple liquid outlets 11 are provided on the bottom surface of the cleaning tank 10. The multiple liquid outlets 11 may be evenly or unevenly distributed on the bottom surface of the cleaning tank 10. Preferably, the multiple liquid outlets 11 are evenly distributed on the bottom surface of the cleaning tank 10. When the liquid outlets 11 spray liquid into the cleaning tank 10, liquid flows through every position in the cleaning tank 10. The liquid sprayed from the liquid outlets 11 can directly contact the mopping member 3001, thereby carrying dirt from the mopping member 3001 to the drain trough 30, achieving a better cleaning effect on the mopping member 3001.

[0065] Referring to Figures 1 and 2 , in some other embodiments, multiple liquid outlets 11 are disposed on the surface of the first side 101 of the tray 100. In this case, the multiple liquid outlets 11 all face the cleaning tank 10. When the liquid outlets 11 spray liquid toward the cleaning tank 10, the liquid can be sprayed to various locations in the cleaning tank 10, thereby achieving a better cleaning effect and preventing excessive dirt from remaining in the cleaning tank 10.

[0066] 1 and 2 , in some embodiments, along the length direction X of the tray 100, the cleaning tank 10 includes a first inner sidewall 131, a second inner sidewall 133, and a third inner sidewall 135. The first inner sidewall 131 and the third inner sidewall 135 are spaced apart and opposed to each other. The second inner sidewall 133 connects the first inner sidewall 131 and the third inner sidewall 135 and is located at the end of the cleaning tank 10 away from the drain chute 30. A plurality of liquid outlets 11 are distributed on the second inner sidewall 133.

[0067] The plurality of liquid outlet holes 11 can be evenly distributed on the second inner sidewall 133, and the plurality of liquid outlet holes 11 face the drain trough 30. When the cleaning tank 10 needs to be cleaned, the liquid sprayed from the liquid outlet holes 11 tends to flow toward the drain trough 30. The liquid flows to various locations in the cleaning tank 10 and carries the dirt in the cleaning tank 10 toward the drain trough 30. The liquid sprayed from the liquid outlet holes 11 can drive the dirt in the cleaning tank 10 to flow toward the drain trough 30, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the cleaning tank 10.

[0068] In some embodiments, the cleaning tank 10 and the drainage tank 30 are connected in sequence along the direction in which the cleaning robot 3000 enters the tray 100. Furthermore, the bottom surface of the cleaning tank 10 gradually slopes downward along the direction in which the cleaning robot 3000 enters the tray 100. The plurality of liquid outlets 11 can be evenly distributed on the second inner sidewall 133, and the plurality of liquid outlets 11 all face the drainage tank 30. When the cleaning tank 10 needs to be cleaned, the liquid sprayed from the liquid outlets 11 tends to flow toward the drainage tank 30. Furthermore, because the bottom surface of the cleaning tank 10 is inclined, the inclined bottom surface of the cleaning tank 10 guides the liquid and dirt within the cleaning tank 10. The dirt within the cleaning tank 10 can quickly and completely flow toward the drainage tank 30, and the dirt within the cleaning tank 10 is carried away by the water flow, resulting in a better cleaning effect for the cleaning tank 10.

[0069] In other embodiments, the plurality of liquid outlet holes 11 may also be distributed on the first inner sidewall 131 or the third inner sidewall 135. When the cleaning tank 10 needs to be cleaned, liquid is sprayed from the liquid outlet holes 11 toward the cleaning tank 10 to carry out dirt in the cleaning tank 10 into the drain tank 30, thereby keeping the cleaning tank 10 in a relatively clean state.

[0070] Referring to Figures 1 to 3, in some embodiments, a first liquid inlet nozzle 50 is provided on the second side 103 of the tray 100. The first liquid inlet nozzle 50 is connected to the liquid outlet 11 and is used to guide external liquid toward the liquid outlet 11.

[0071] Specifically, the external liquid can be clean water or a cleaning liquid added with a cleaning liquid. The external liquid can be provided by, but is not limited to, a clean water tank of the cleaning robot 3000, a clean water tank of the base station 1000, or an external water source.

[0072] When external liquid is provided by the clean water tank of the base station 1000, the first liquid inlet nozzle 50 is used to guide the liquid in the clean water tank of the base station 1000 to the liquid outlet hole 11. When the cleaning tank 10 needs to be cleaned, the liquid in the clean water tank of the base station 1000 passes through the first liquid inlet nozzle 50 and is sprayed toward the cleaning tank 10 from the liquid outlet hole 11, thereby flushing the dirt in the cleaning tank 10 into the sewage tank 30.

[0073] When the external liquid is provided by an external water source, the first liquid inlet nozzle 50 is used to guide the liquid in the external water source to the liquid outlet hole 11. When the cleaning tank 10 needs to be cleaned, the liquid in the external water source passes through the first liquid inlet nozzle 50 and is sprayed toward the cleaning tank 10 from the liquid outlet hole 11, so as to flush the dirt in the cleaning tank 10 into the drain tank 30.

[0074] In one example, there is a single first liquid inlet nozzle 50, which is connected to each of the multiple liquid outlets 11. In this case, the number of first liquid inlet nozzles 50 is small, saving material costs. Furthermore, the structure of the tray 100 is relatively simple, making it easier to manufacture. The first liquid inlet nozzle 50 can be connected to each of the multiple liquid outlets 11 via a pipe. Liquid entering from the first liquid inlet nozzle 50 flows through the pipes into each of the liquid outlets 11 and is sprayed from the liquid outlets 11 toward the cleaning tank 10.

[0075] Referring to Figures 1 to 3 , there are multiple first liquid inlet nozzles 50, each of which is connected to a liquid outlet 11. The number of first liquid inlet nozzles 50 is the same as the number of liquid outlets 11, so that each first liquid inlet nozzle 50 corresponds to a liquid outlet 11. The first liquid inlet nozzles 50 are directly connected to the liquid outlet 11, allowing liquid from the first liquid inlet nozzles 50 to flow directly and quickly into the liquid outlet 11. This shortens the time it takes for liquid to flow from the first liquid inlet nozzles 50 into the liquid outlet 11, resulting in more efficient cleaning of the cleaning tank 10 and allowing waste in the cleaning tank 10 to flow quickly into the drain tank 30.

[0076] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3. In other embodiments, the second side 103 of the tray 100 is provided with a first liquid inlet nozzle 50 and a liquid guide nozzle 60. The first liquid inlet nozzle 50 is connected to the liquid outlet 11 through the liquid guide nozzle 60. The liquid guide nozzle 60 is used to guide external liquid toward the liquid outlet 11.

[0077] Specifically, one end of the liquid guiding nozzle 60 is connected to the first liquid inlet nozzle 50 , and the other end of the liquid guiding nozzle 60 is connected to the liquid outlet 11 .

[0078] When external liquid is provided by the clean water tank of base station 1000, one end of the first liquid inlet nozzle 50 is connected to the clean water tank of base station 1000, and the other end of the first liquid inlet nozzle 50 is connected to one end of the liquid guide nozzle 60, and the other end of the liquid guide nozzle 60 is connected to the liquid outlet 11. The first liquid inlet nozzle 50 is used to guide the liquid in the clean water tank of base station 1000 to the liquid guide nozzle 60, and the liquid guide nozzle 60 then guides the liquid to the liquid outlet 11. When cleaning tank 10 needs to be cleaned, the liquid in the clean water tank of base station 1000 passes through the first liquid inlet nozzle 50 and the liquid guide nozzle 60 and is sprayed toward cleaning tank 10 from the liquid outlet 11, thereby flushing the dirt in cleaning tank 10 into the sewage tank 30.

[0079] When the external liquid is provided by an external water source, one end of the first liquid inlet nozzle 50 is connected to the external water source, and the other end of the first liquid inlet nozzle 50 is connected to one end of the liquid guide nozzle 60, and the other end of the liquid guide nozzle 60 is connected to the liquid outlet 11. The first liquid inlet nozzle 50 is used to direct liquid from the external water source to the liquid guide nozzle 60, which then guides the liquid to the liquid outlet 11. When cleaning tank 10 needs to be cleaned, the liquid from the external water source passes through the first liquid inlet nozzle 50 and the liquid guide nozzle 60 and is sprayed toward cleaning tank 10 from the liquid outlet 11, thereby flushing the dirt in cleaning tank 10 into the sewage tank 30.

[0080] In one example, there is a single liquid-dispensing nozzle 60, which is connected to each of the multiple liquid outlets 11. In this case, the number of liquid-dispensing nozzles 60 is reduced, saving material costs. Furthermore, the structure of the tray 100 is relatively simple, making it easier to manufacture. The liquid-dispensing nozzle 60 can be connected to each of the multiple liquid outlets 11 via a pipe. Liquid entering from the liquid-dispensing nozzle 60 flows through the pipes into each of the liquid outlets 11 and is sprayed from the liquid outlets 11 toward the cleaning tank 10.

[0081] In another example, there are multiple liquid guide nozzles 60, and each liquid guide nozzle 60 is connected to a liquid outlet 11. In this case, the number of liquid guide nozzles 60 is the same as the number of liquid outlet holes 11, so that each liquid guide nozzle 60 can correspond to a liquid outlet hole 11. The liquid guide nozzle 60 is directly connected to the liquid outlet hole 11, so that the liquid from the liquid guide nozzle 60 can flow directly and quickly into the liquid outlet hole 11. The time for the liquid to flow from the liquid guide nozzle 60 into the liquid outlet hole 11 is short, so that the cleaning efficiency of the cleaning tank 10 is high, and the liquid and dirt in the cleaning tank 10 can quickly flow into the drain tank 30. The number of liquid guide nozzles 60 in the present application is one.

[0082] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4. Furthermore, in some embodiments, the second side 103 of the tray 100 is also provided with a liquid guiding member 70, and the liquid guiding member 70 is provided with a liquid guiding channel 71. The liquid guiding nozzle 60 is installed on the liquid guiding member 70 and is connected to the liquid inlet 711 of the liquid guiding channel 71. The liquid guiding channel 71 has multiple branch nodes to form multiple branch channels, each branch channel has at least one liquid outlet 713, and each liquid outlet 713 is connected to a liquid outlet hole 11.

[0083] Among them, the liquid guide part 70 is a structure for guiding the liquid in the liquid guide nozzle 60 to each liquid outlet hole 11. The liquid guide channel 71 is connected to both the liquid guide nozzle 60 and the liquid outlet hole 11, and the liquid guide channel 71 is used for liquid to flow therein. The liquid in the liquid guide nozzle 60 enters the liquid guide channel 71 from the liquid inlet 711. After entering the liquid guide channel 71, the liquid flows into each branch channel and flows from the liquid outlet 713 of each branch channel to the liquid outlet hole 11, and finally sprays from the liquid outlet hole 11 toward the cleaning tank 10 to clean the cleaning tank 10. The number of liquid inlet 711 can be one, and one liquid inlet 711 is connected to the liquid guide nozzle 60. The number of liquid outlets 713 can be multiple, and the number of liquid outlets 713 corresponds to the number of liquid outlet holes 11.

[0084] The branch channel refers to a spatial structure in which, after the liquid enters the liquid-conducting channel 71 from the liquid inlet 711, the liquid flows in different branches and then flows out from different liquid outlets 713 to the corresponding liquid outlet holes 11. There are multiple branch channels.

[0085] The liquid-conducting channel 71 may have a tree-like branching structure. For example, when there are eight liquid outlet holes 11, the liquid-conducting channel 71 may have three levels of branches. There are two branches at the first level, and each branch extends at a node into two branches at the second level, so that there are four branches at the second level. Of the four branches at the second level, each branch extends at a node into two branches at the third level, so that there are eight branches at the third level. A branch at the first level, a branch at the second level connected to the branch at the first level, and a branch at the third level connected to the branch at the second level together form a branch channel.

[0086] After the liquid in the liquid guide nozzle 60 enters the liquid guide channel 71 from the liquid inlet 711, the liquid is split into two streams by the two branches of the first layer. Each stream of liquid flows into the corresponding two branches of the second layer, and the two streams of liquid are split into four streams by the four branches of the second layer. Each stream of liquid flows into the corresponding two branches of the third layer, and the four streams of liquid are split into eight streams by the branches of the third layer. The eight streams of liquid respectively enter the eight liquid outlet holes 11 through the liquid outlet holes 11 and are sprayed toward the cleaning tank 10 from the liquid outlet holes 11.

[0087] Referring to Figures 1 and 2 , in some embodiments, the drain trough 30 includes two opposing ends in the width direction Y of the tray 100, with a first outlet 31 and a spray hole 33 disposed at opposite ends of the drain trough 30. The spray holes 33 spray liquid toward the drain trough 30, allowing the liquid to flow through the entire drain trough 30 and carry waste within the trough 30 toward the first outlet 31. Ultimately, the liquid, carrying the waste, flows out of the first outlet 31. In this case, the number of first outlets 31 and spray holes 33 is relatively small, resulting in a simpler structure and easier processing of the drain trough 30. Furthermore, the drain trough 30 provides a better cleaning effect.

[0088] In other embodiments, the drain trough 30 includes two opposite ends in the width direction Y of the tray 100, and the first outlet 31 and the spray hole 33 are respectively provided at opposite ends of the drain trough 30, with the spray hole 33 facing the first outlet 31. The spray hole 33 sprays liquid into the drain trough 30 toward the first outlet 31, and the liquid sprayed from the spray hole 33 tends to flow toward the first outlet 31. The liquid can quickly carry the dirt in the drain trough 30 toward the first outlet 31, and eventually the liquid flows out of the first outlet 31 carrying the dirt. At this time, the dirt in the drain trough 30 is carried away by the water flow, and the cleaning effect of the drain trough 30 is better. The number of first outlets 31 and spray holes 33 is small, the structure of the drain trough 30 is relatively simple, the processing of the drain trough 30 is relatively simple, and the cleaning effect of the drain trough 30 is better.

[0089] In other embodiments, the drain trough 30 is provided with at least two spray holes 33, with the first outlet 31 located between two adjacent spray holes 33. The number of spray holes 33 can be two, three, four, or more. When there are multiple spray holes 33, each of the spray holes 33 sprays liquid toward the drain trough 30, allowing the liquid to flow to various locations within the drain trough 30. This improves the cleaning effect of the drain trough 30 and virtually eliminates the accumulation of dirt within the drain trough 30.

[0090] When there are two spray holes 33, there can be only one first outlet 31, located between the two spray holes 33, with both spray holes 33 facing the first outlet 31. Preferably, the two spray holes 33 are located at opposite ends of the drain trough 30 in the width direction Y of the tray 100. The liquid sprayed from the two spray holes 33 can flow through the entire drain trough 30, carrying dirt from various locations in the drain trough 30 toward the first outlet 31. When the first outlet 31 is located between the two spray holes 33, the distance between the two spray holes 33 and the first outlet 31 is relatively short. Therefore, the liquid sprayed from the spray holes 33 can quickly flow out of the first outlet 31 carrying dirt, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency of the drain trough 30.

[0091] When there are three spray holes 33, there can be two first outlets 31. The two first outlets 31 are located between two adjacent spray holes 33, so that each spray hole 33 is close to the adjacent first outlet 31. The liquid sprayed from the spray holes 33 can quickly discharge the dirt from the first outlet 31, and the cleaning efficiency of the drain trough 30 is high.

[0092] Referring to Figures 1 and 2 , in certain embodiments, the first outlet 31 is positioned lower than the spray hole 33 in the thickness direction Z of the tray 100. When the spray hole 33 sprays liquid toward the drain trough 30, the liquid, due to gravity, carries the waste toward the lower first outlet 31 and is discharged from the drain trough 30. This allows waste in the drain trough 30 to be quickly discharged from the first outlet 31, preventing waste from accumulating in the trough 30.

[0093] In the width direction Y of the tray 100, the first outlet 31 and the spray hole 33 are respectively provided at opposite ends of the drain trough 30, and the bottom surface of the drain trough 30 is an inclined surface. The extension direction of the bottom surface of the drain trough 30 intersects the width direction Y of the tray 100, and the bottom surface of the drain trough 30 is parallel to the length direction X of the tray 100. In the thickness direction Z of the tray 100, the bottom surface of the drain trough 30 where the first outlet 31 is located is closer to the second side 103 of the tray 100 than the bottom surface of the drain trough 30 where the spray hole 33 is located. The bottom surface of the drain trough 30 guides the liquid sprayed from the spray hole 33, and the liquid in the drain trough 30, carrying dirt, can flow along the bottom surface of the drain trough 30 toward the first outlet 31.

[0094] In the width direction Y of the tray 100, when there are two spray holes 33 and the two spray holes 33 are located at opposite ends of the drain trough 30, the first outlet 31 is located between the two spray holes 33. In this case, the bottom surface of the drain trough 30 can be two inclined surfaces facing the first outlet 31, and the bottom surface of the drain trough 30 can be "V"-shaped. In the thickness direction Z of the tray 100, the bottom surface of the drain trough 30 where the first outlet 31 is located is closer to the second side 103 of the tray 100 than the bottom surface of the drain trough 30 where the two spray holes 33 are located. The two bottom surfaces of the drain trough 30 guide the liquid sprayed from the two spray holes 33, and the liquid in the drain trough 30 carrying dirt can flow along the bottom surface of the drain trough 30 to the first outlet 31.

[0095] Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 3 , in some embodiments, a second liquid inlet nozzle 90 is provided on the second side 103 of the tray 100 . The second liquid inlet nozzle 90 is connected to the spray hole 33 . The second liquid inlet nozzle 90 is used to guide external liquid toward the spray hole 33 .

[0096] Specifically, the external liquid can be clean water or a cleaning liquid added with a cleaning liquid. The external liquid can be provided by, but is not limited to, a clean water tank of the cleaning robot 3000, a clean water tank of the base station 1000, or an external water source.

[0097] When external liquid is provided by the clean water tank of the base station 1000, the second liquid inlet nozzle 90 is used to guide the liquid in the clean water tank of the base station 1000 to the spray hole 33. When the drain trough 30 needs to be cleaned, the liquid in the clean water tank of the base station 1000 passes through the second liquid inlet nozzle 90 and is sprayed toward the drain trough 30 from the spray hole 33, thereby flushing the dirt in the drain trough 30 out of the tray 100 through the first outlet 31.

[0098] When the external liquid is provided by an external water source, the second liquid inlet nozzle 90 is used to guide the liquid in the external water source to the spray hole 33. When the drain trough 30 needs to be cleaned, the liquid in the external water source passes through the second liquid inlet nozzle 90 and is sprayed toward the drain trough 30 from the spray hole 33, so that the dirt in the drain trough 30 is flushed out of the tray 100 through the first outlet 31.

[0099] Referring to Figures 1 to 3 , in one example, there is one jet hole 33 and one second liquid inlet nozzle 90, which is connected to the jet hole 33. In this case, the number of jet holes 33 is relatively small, the structure of the drain trough 30 is relatively simple, and the processing of the drain trough 30 is relatively simple. The number of second liquid inlet nozzles 90 is also relatively small, which can save material costs. When the drain trough 30 needs to be cleaned, one second liquid inlet nozzle 90 guides liquid to one jet hole 33. The liquid flows from one jet hole 33 into the drain trough 30, flushing the dirt in the drain trough 30 out of the first outlet 31 and out of the tray 100.

[0100] In another example, there are multiple spray holes 33 and a single second liquid inlet nozzle 90, with the second liquid inlet nozzle 90 connected to each of the multiple spray holes 33. When there are multiple spray holes 33, each of the multiple spray holes 33 can spray liquid toward the drain trough 30, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the drain trough 30. When there is only one second liquid inlet nozzle 90, the structure of the tray 100 is relatively simple, and material costs can be reduced. The second liquid inlet nozzle 90 can be connected to each of the multiple spray holes 33 via a pipe. Liquid entering from the second liquid inlet nozzle 90 flows through the pipe into each of the spray holes 33 and is sprayed from the spray holes 33 toward the drain trough 30.

[0101] In another example, there are multiple spray holes 33 and multiple second liquid inlet nozzles 90, and each second liquid inlet nozzle 90 is connected to a spray hole 33. In the case where there are multiple spray holes 33, all of the multiple spray holes 33 can spray liquid toward the drain trough 30, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the drain trough 30. The number of second liquid inlet nozzles 90 is the same as the number of spray holes 33. In the case where each second liquid inlet nozzle 90 corresponds to a spray hole 33, the second liquid inlet nozzle 90 is directly connected to the spray hole 33, so that the liquid from the second liquid inlet nozzle 90 can flow directly and quickly into the spray hole 33. The time it takes for the liquid to flow from the second liquid inlet nozzle 90 into the spray hole 33 is shorter, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency of the drain trough 30, and the dirt in the drain trough 30 can quickly flow out from the first outlet 31.

[0102] Referring to Figures 1, 2, 5, and 6, in a second aspect, embodiments of the present application provide a base station 1000, which is applied to a cleaning robot 3000 including a crawler-type cleaning element or a drum-type cleaning element. The base station 1000 includes the tray 100 and a base 300 of the above-described embodiment, with the tray 100 mounted on the base 300. The base 300 is provided with a second outlet 301, which is connected to the first outlet 31. The first outlet 31 is used to guide the waste in the drain trough 30 to the second outlet 301.

[0103] Specifically, the crawler-type cleaning element of the present application is a crawler-type mopping element 3001, and the roller-type cleaning element is a roller-type mopping element 3001. When the cleaning robot 3000 includes the crawler-type mopping element 3001 or the roller-type mopping element 3001, when the cleaning robot 3000 is cleaning the surface to be cleaned, the crawler-type mopping element 3001 or the roller-type mopping element 3001 rotates to simultaneously clean the mop while mopping the floor. The crawler-type mopping element 3001 or the roller-type mopping element 3001 can remain relatively clean during the mopping process, thereby achieving a better cleaning effect on the surface to be cleaned by the cleaning robot 3000. After the cleaning robot 3000 has finished cleaning the surface to be cleaned, it returns to the base station 1000, where the base station 1000 can be used to clean the crawler-type mopping element 3001 or the roller-type mopping element 3001 of the cleaning robot 3000.

[0104] The base 300 is the bottom structure of the entire base station 1000 and is used to support the tray 100 and other components of the base station 1000. The base 300 also supports the cleaning robot 3000 when it enters the base station 1000. The base 300 is detachably connected to the tray 100, allowing it to be easily removed from the base 300 for replacement or repair if damaged.

[0105] The second outlet 301 is used to discharge waste discharged from the first outlet 31 outside the base 300. In one example, waste entering the second outlet 301 can be discharged outside the base station 1000. In this case, one end of the second outlet 301 is connected to the first outlet 31, and the other end of the second outlet 301 is connected to the outside world. In another example, waste entering the second outlet 301 can also be discharged into the wastewater tank 3005 of the base station 1000. In this case, one end of the second outlet 301 is connected to the first outlet 31, and the other end of the second outlet 301 is connected to the wastewater tank 3005 of the base station 1000.

[0106] The base station 1000 of the present embodiment is provided with a cleaning tank 10 and a drainage tank 30, and the cleaning tank 10 and the drainage tank 30 are connected. Dirt in the cleaning tank 10 can flow into the drainage tank 30 and out of the tray 100 through the first outlet 31, thereby preventing excessive accumulation of dirt in the tray 100. Compared to the existing tray 100, the dirt in the tray 100 of the present application can flow out of the tray 100 on its own, eliminating the need for manual cleaning of the tray 100 and achieving a higher self-cleaning efficiency.

[0107] Please refer to Figures 3, 6 and 7. In some embodiments, the base 300 is provided with a first liquid inlet hole 303, and the second side 103 of the tray 100 is provided with a first liquid inlet nozzle 50. One end of the first liquid inlet nozzle 50 is connected to the first liquid inlet hole 303, and the other end of the first liquid inlet nozzle 50 is connected to the liquid outlet hole 11 of the cleaning tank 10. The first liquid inlet nozzle 50 is used to guide the liquid from the first liquid inlet hole 303 toward the liquid outlet hole 11.

[0108] The structures of the first liquid inlet nozzle 50 and the liquid outlet hole 11 here are the same as those of the first liquid inlet nozzle 50 and the liquid outlet hole 11 in the first aspect, and will not be described in detail here.

[0109] The first liquid inlet 303 is used to guide external liquid to the first liquid inlet nozzle 50. The external liquid can be clean water or a cleaning liquid containing a cleaning solution. The external liquid can be provided by, but is not limited to, a clean water tank of the cleaning robot 3000, a clean water tank of the base station 1000, or an external water source.

[0110] When external liquid is provided by the clean water tank of base station 1000, one end of first liquid inlet 303 is connected to the clean water tank of base station 1000, and the other end of first liquid inlet 303 is connected to one end of first liquid inlet nozzle 50, and the other end of first liquid inlet nozzle 50 is connected to liquid outlet 11. When cleaning tank 10 needs to be cleaned, liquid in the clean water tank of base station 1000 enters first liquid inlet nozzle 50 through first liquid inlet 303 and is sprayed toward cleaning tank 10 from liquid outlet 11, thereby flushing dirt in cleaning tank 10 into drain tank 30.

[0111] When the external liquid is provided by an external water source, one end of the first liquid inlet hole 303 is connected to the external water source, the other end of the first liquid inlet hole 303 is connected to one end of the first liquid inlet nozzle 50, and the other end of the first liquid inlet nozzle 50 is connected to the liquid outlet hole 11. When the cleaning tank 10 needs to be cleaned, the liquid in the external water source enters the first liquid inlet nozzle 50 through the first liquid inlet hole 303 and is sprayed toward the cleaning tank 10 from the liquid outlet hole 11, thereby flushing the dirt in the cleaning tank 10 into the sewage tank 30.

[0112] Referring to Figures 3, 6, and 7, when there is only one first liquid inlet nozzle 50, there is also only one first liquid inlet hole 303. In this case, the structure of the base 300 is relatively simple, and the base 300 is relatively easy to manufacture. One first liquid inlet hole 303 is connected to the first liquid inlet nozzle 50 and is used to guide external liquid into the first liquid inlet nozzle 50.

[0113] In the case where there are multiple first liquid inlet nozzles 50, in one example, there can be only one first liquid inlet hole 303. In this case, the structure of the base 300 is relatively simple, and the base 300 is relatively easy to manufacture. One first liquid inlet hole 303 can be connected to multiple first liquid inlet nozzles 50 via a pipe. External liquid entering through the first liquid inlet hole 303 flows through the pipes into each first liquid inlet nozzle 50 and then flows from the first liquid inlet nozzle 50 into the corresponding liquid outlet hole 11.

[0114] In another example, there may be multiple first liquid inlet holes 303, and the number of the first liquid inlet holes 303 is the same as the number of the first liquid inlet nozzles 50. Each first liquid inlet hole 303 is connected to a first liquid inlet nozzle 50, so that the liquid in the first liquid inlet hole 303 can flow directly and quickly into the first liquid inlet nozzle 50. The time for the external liquid to flow from the first liquid inlet hole 303 into the first liquid inlet nozzle 50 is relatively short, and the external liquid can quickly enter the cleaning tank 10, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency of the cleaning tank 10, and the dirt in the cleaning tank 10 can quickly flow into the drain tank 30.

[0115] Please refer to Figures 3, 6 and 7. In other embodiments, the base 300 is provided with a first liquid inlet hole 303, and the second side 103 of the tray 100 is provided with a first liquid inlet nozzle 50 and a liquid guide nozzle 60. One end of the first liquid inlet nozzle 50 is connected to the first liquid inlet hole 303, and the other end of the first liquid inlet nozzle 50 is connected to one end of the liquid guide nozzle 60. The other end of the liquid guide nozzle 60 is connected to the liquid outlet hole 11 of the cleaning tank 10. The liquid guide nozzle 60 is used to guide the liquid from the first liquid inlet nozzle 50 toward the liquid outlet hole 11.

[0116] The structure of the liquid guide nozzle 60 here is the same as that of the liquid guide nozzle 60 in the first aspect, and will not be described in detail here.

[0117] When external liquid is provided by the clean water tank of base station 1000, one end of first liquid inlet 303 is connected to the clean water tank of base station 1000, the other end of first liquid inlet 303 is connected to one end of first liquid inlet nozzle 50, the other end of first liquid inlet nozzle 50 is connected to one end of liquid guide nozzle 60, and the other end of liquid guide nozzle 60 is connected to liquid outlet 11. When cleaning tank 10 needs to be cleaned, liquid in the clean water tank of base station 1000 enters first liquid inlet nozzle 50 through first liquid inlet hole 303, flows from first liquid inlet nozzle 50 into liquid guide nozzle 60, and is sprayed toward cleaning tank 10 from liquid outlet 11, thereby flushing dirt in cleaning tank 10 into drain tank 30.

[0118] When the external liquid is provided by an external water source, one end of the first liquid inlet hole 303 is connected to the external water source, the other end of the first liquid inlet hole 303 is connected to one end of the first liquid inlet nozzle 50, the other end of the first liquid inlet nozzle 50 is connected to one end of the liquid guide nozzle 60, and the other end of the liquid guide nozzle 60 is connected to the liquid outlet hole 11. When the cleaning tank 10 needs to be cleaned, the liquid in the external water source enters the first liquid inlet nozzle 50 through the first liquid inlet hole 303, flows from the first liquid inlet nozzle 50 into the liquid guide nozzle 60, and is sprayed toward the cleaning tank 10 from the liquid outlet hole 11 to flush the dirt in the cleaning tank 10 into the sewage tank 30.

[0119] The second side 103 of the tray 100 of the embodiment of the present application is provided with a first liquid inlet nozzle 50 and a liquid guide nozzle 60 .

[0120] Please refer to Figures 3 and 4. Furthermore, in some embodiments, the second side 103 of the tray 100 is also provided with a liquid guiding member 70, and the liquid guiding member 70 is provided with a liquid guiding channel 71. The liquid guiding nozzle 60 is installed on the liquid guiding member 70 and is connected to the liquid inlet 711 of the liquid guiding channel 71. The liquid guiding channel 71 has multiple branch nodes to form multiple branch channels, each branch channel has at least one liquid outlet 713, and each liquid outlet 713 is connected to a liquid outlet hole 11.

[0121] The liquid guiding part 70, liquid guiding channel 71, liquid inlet 711, liquid outlet 713, branch nodes and branch channels here have the same structure as the liquid guiding part 70, liquid guiding channel 71, liquid inlet 711, liquid outlet 713, branch nodes and branch channels in the first aspect, and will not be described in detail here.

[0122] Please refer to Figures 3, 6 and 7. In some embodiments, a second liquid inlet hole 305 is provided on the base 300, and a second liquid inlet nozzle 90 is provided on the second side 103 of the tray 100. One end of the second liquid inlet nozzle 90 is connected to the second liquid inlet hole 305, and the other end of the second liquid inlet nozzle 90 is connected to the spray hole 33 of the drain trough 30.

[0123] Specifically, the second liquid inlet 305 is used to guide external liquid to the second liquid inlet nozzle 90. The external liquid here and the external liquid supplied to the first liquid inlet 303 can be provided from the same source. The external liquid can be provided by, but is not limited to, the clean water tank of the cleaning robot 3000, the clean water tank of the base station 1000, or an external water source.

[0124] When external liquid is provided by the clean water tank of the base station 1000, one end of the second liquid inlet 305 is connected to the clean water tank of the base station 1000, and the other end of the second liquid inlet 305 is connected to one end of the second liquid inlet nozzle 90, and the other end of the second liquid inlet nozzle 90 is connected to the spray hole 33. When the drain trough 30 needs to be cleaned, the liquid in the clean water tank of the base station 1000 enters the second liquid inlet nozzle 90 through the second liquid inlet 305 and is sprayed toward the drain trough 30 from the spray hole 33, so that the sewage in the drain trough 30 flows into the first outlet 31 and out of the second outlet 301 to the outside of the base 300.

[0125] When the external liquid is provided by an external water source, one end of the second liquid inlet hole 305 is connected to the external water source, the other end of the second liquid inlet hole 305 is connected to one end of the second liquid inlet nozzle 90, and the other end of the second liquid inlet nozzle 90 is connected to the spray hole 33. When the drain trough 30 needs to be cleaned, the liquid in the external water source enters the second liquid inlet nozzle 90 through the second liquid inlet hole 305 and is sprayed toward the drain trough 30 from the spray hole 33, so that the sewage in the drain trough 30 flows into the first outlet 31 and flows out of the second outlet 301 to the outside of the base 300.

[0126] Referring to Figures 3, 6, and 7, when there is only one second liquid inlet nozzle 90, there is also only one second liquid inlet hole 305. In this case, the structure of the base 300 is relatively simple, and the base 300 is relatively easy to manufacture. One second liquid inlet hole 305 is connected to the second liquid inlet nozzle 90 and is used to guide external liquid into the second liquid inlet nozzle 90.

[0127] In the case of multiple second liquid inlet nozzles 90, in one example, the number of second liquid inlet hole 305 can be one. In this case, the structure of the base 300 is relatively simple, and the base 300 is relatively easy to manufacture. One second liquid inlet hole 305 can be connected to multiple second liquid inlet nozzles 90 via a pipe. External liquid entering through the second liquid inlet hole 305 flows through the pipes into each second liquid inlet nozzle 90 and then flows from the second liquid inlet nozzle 90 into the corresponding jet hole 33.

[0128] In another example, there may be multiple second liquid inlet holes 305, and the number of second liquid inlet holes 305 is the same as the number of second liquid inlet nozzles 90. Each second liquid inlet hole 305 is connected to a second liquid inlet nozzle 90, so that the liquid in the second liquid inlet hole 305 can flow directly and quickly into the second liquid inlet nozzle 90. The time for external liquid to flow from the second liquid inlet hole 305 into the second liquid inlet nozzle 90 is relatively short, and the external liquid can quickly enter the drain trough 30, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency of the drain trough 30, and the dirt in the drain trough 30 can quickly flow out from the first outlet 31 and the second outlet 301.

[0129] Please refer to FIG8 . In a third aspect, an embodiment of the present application further provides a cleaning system 10000 . The cleaning system 10000 includes the base station 1000 of the above embodiment.

[0130] The cleaning system 10000 of the present embodiment is provided with a cleaning tank 10 and a drain tank 30, and the cleaning tank 10 and the drain tank 30 are connected. Dirt in the cleaning tank 10 can flow into the drain tank 30 and out of the tray 100 through the first outlet 31, thereby preventing excessive accumulation of dirt in the tray 100. Compared to the conventional tray 100, the dirt in the tray 100 of the present application can flow out of the tray 100 on its own, eliminating the need for manual cleaning of the tray 100 and achieving a higher self-cleaning efficiency.

[0131] Please refer to Figures 9 to 11. In some embodiments, the cleaning system 10000 also includes a cleaning device 3000. The cleaning device 3000 is provided with a wiping member 3001. When the wiping member 3001 cleans the surface to be cleaned, the wiping member 3001 rotates along a first direction a. When the wiping member 3001 is located in the cleaning tank 10, the wiping member 3001 contacts the bottom surface of the cleaning tank 10 and rotates along a second direction b to clean the cleaning tank 10. The first direction a and the second direction b are opposite.

[0132] 9 to 12 , in some embodiments, the cleaning device 3000 includes a crawler-type cleaning robot 3000 or a drum-type cleaning robot 3000 .

[0133] The cleaning robot 3000 is further provided with a scraping member 3002 and a sewage tank 3003. The scraping member 3002 is used to cooperate with the wiping member 3001 to scrape off the dirt on the wiping member 3001. The sewage tank 3003 is used to collect the dirt scraped off by the scraping member 3002 and on the wiping member 3001.

[0134] When the wiping member 3001 rotates in the first direction a, the scraping member 3002 scrapes dirt off the wiping member 3001. The scraped dirt enters the sewage tank 3003, and the sewage in the sewage tank 3003 is collected in the sewage tank 3005 of the cleaning robot 3000. When the cleaning robot 3000 cleans the surface to be cleaned, the dirt on the wiping member 3001 does not flow onto the surface to be cleaned, and the cleaning robot 3000 has a better cleaning effect on the surface to be cleaned.

[0135] When the wiping member 3001 rotates in the second direction b, the scraping member 3002 scrapes the dirty water off the wiping member 3001. The scraped dirty water enters the cleaning tank 10 and flows from there into the drainage trough 30, where it is discharged out of the base station 1000 through the first outlet 31 and the second outlet 301. Furthermore, when the wiping member 3001 rotates in the second direction b, it contacts the bottom surface of the cleaning tank 10. During rotation, the wiping member 3001 carries dirt from the bottom surface of the cleaning tank 10 toward the drainage trough 30. After the wiping member 3001 completes cleaning in the cleaning tank 10, virtually no dirt remains, further improving the cleaning effect of the cleaning tank 10.

[0136] Referring to Figure 10 , further, in some embodiments, the shape of the cleaning tank 10 matches the shape of the wiping member 3001. In this case, when the wiping member 3001 rotates in the second direction b, the wiping member 3001 can carry dirt at all locations in the cleaning tank 10 to the drain trough 30, thereby achieving a better cleaning effect on the cleaning tank 10.

[0137] Referring to Figures 8, 11, and 13, in a fourth aspect, embodiments of the present application further provide a cleaning method for a cleaning system. The cleaning system 10000 includes the base station 1000 and the cleaning device 3000 of the above embodiment. The cleaning device 3000 includes a sewage link 3009 and a wiping member 3001. The cleaning method for the cleaning system includes:

[0138] 02: Start the self-cleaning operation of the sewage link 3009; and

[0139] 04: Start the self-cleaning operation of the base station 1000.

[0140] In some embodiments, initiating the self-cleaning operation of the base station 1000 is performed after initiating the self-cleaning operation of the sewage link 3009 .

[0141] Referring to Figures 11 and 12 , specifically, when the mopping member 3001 is cleaning the surface to be cleaned, the wastewater chain 3009 is used to collect waste from the mopping member 3001 . After the cleaning robot 3000 enters the base station 1000 , the wastewater chain 3009 is used to discharge the collected waste. The wastewater chain 3009 may include a wastewater tank 3005 , a wastewater trough 3003 , and a wastewater discharge member 3006 , which is provided with a wastewater outlet 3007 .

[0142] Referring to Figure 8 , in one embodiment, when the sewage stored in the sewage link 3009 is discharged, the cleaning robot 3000 can initiate a self-cleaning operation for the sewage link 3009. The cleaning robot 3000 sprays liquid from its clean water tank toward the sewage link 3009. The liquid carries the sewage in the sewage link 3009 out of the cleaning robot 3000 through the sewage outlet 3007, thereby keeping the sewage link 3009 relatively clean. In another embodiment, the base station 1000 can initiate a self-cleaning operation for the sewage link 3009. The base station 1000 sprays liquid from its clean water tank toward the sewage link 3009. The liquid carries the sewage in the sewage link 3009 out of the cleaning robot 3000 through the sewage outlet 3007, thereby keeping the sewage link 3009 relatively clean.

[0143] After the cleaning robot 3000 enters the base station 1000, the sewage stored in the sewage link 3009 flows out of the sewage outlet 3007. The sewage can flow into the cleaning tank 10, and from there into the sewage trough 30, and finally out of the base 300 through the first outlet 31 and the second outlet 301. The sewage flowing out of the sewage outlet 3007 can also flow directly into the sewage trough 30, and out of the base 300 through the first outlet 31 and the second outlet 301. The sewage flowing out of the base 300 can flow into the sewage tank of the base station 1000 or into a designated sewage discharge location.

[0144] 5 , 9 , and 10 , in one embodiment, after the self-cleaning operation of the sewage link 3009 is completed, the cleaning robot 3000 may initiate a self-cleaning operation of the base station 1000. The cleaning robot 3000's clean water tank sprays liquid toward the tray 100 of the base station 1000 to clean the tray 100. In another embodiment, after the self-cleaning operation of the sewage link 3009 is completed, the base station 1000 itself may initiate a self-cleaning operation of the base station 1000. The clean water tank of the base station 1000 sprays liquid toward the tray 100 of the base station 1000 to clean the tray 100.

[0145] When the sewage in the sewage link 3009 passes through the cleaning tank 10 and the drainage tank 30 and flows out of the base 300, some dirt may remain in the cleaning tank 10 and the drainage tank 30. The clean water tank of the cleaning robot 3000 or the clean water tank of the base station 1000 sprays liquid toward the tray 100 of the base station 1000. The liquid can carry this part of the dirt and discharge it outside the base 300, thereby preventing excessive accumulation of dirt in the tray 100.

[0146] Referring to Figures 1, 7, 11, and 14, in certain embodiments, the cleaning system 10000 includes a liquid supply system connected to the liquid outlet 11 of the cleaning tank 10 and the spray hole 33 of the sewage tank 30. 04: Starting the self-cleaning operation of the base station 1000 includes:

[0147] 041: Control the liquid supply system to supply liquid to the liquid outlet 11, so that the liquid outlet 11 sprays liquid to clean the wiping member 3001;

[0148] 043: Control the liquid supply system to supply liquid to the liquid outlet 11, so that the liquid outlet 11 sprays liquid to clean the cleaning tank 10; and

[0149] 045: Control the liquid supply system to supply liquid to the spray hole 33 so that the spray hole 33 sprays liquid to clean the sewage tank 30.

[0150] The liquid supply system is a structure for supplying liquid to the liquid outlet 11 and the spray hole 33. The liquid provided by the liquid supply system to the liquid outlet 11 and the spray hole 33 can be, but is not limited to, clean water or a cleaning liquid containing a cleaning liquid. Thus, the liquid sprayed from the liquid outlet 11 can clean the cleaning tank 10, and the liquid sprayed from the spray hole 33 can clean the sewage tank 30.

[0151] 3 and 7 , in one embodiment, the liquid supply system may include a clean water tank, a first liquid inlet 303, a first liquid inlet nozzle 50, a liquid guide nozzle 60, a liquid guide member 70, a second liquid inlet 305, a second liquid inlet nozzle 90, and a water pump of the base station 1000. The clean water tank, the first liquid inlet 303, the first liquid inlet nozzle 50, the liquid guide nozzle 60, and the liquid guide member 70 of the base station 1000 are sequentially connected, and the water pump is disposed on a pipeline connecting the clean water tank, the first liquid inlet 303, the first liquid inlet nozzle 50, the liquid guide nozzle 60, and the liquid guide member 70 of the base station 1000. The liquid guide member 70 is connected to the liquid outlet 11. While the mop 3001 is being cleaned in the cleaning tank 10, the base station 1000 controls the liquid supply system to supply liquid to the liquid outlet 11. Specifically, the base station 1000 activates the water pump. Liquid in the clean water tank of the base station 1000 flows through the first liquid inlet 303, the first liquid inlet nozzle 50, the liquid guide nozzle 60, and the liquid guide 70 into the liquid outlet 11. Liquid is then sprayed from the liquid outlet 11 toward the mop 3001 in the cleaning tank 10, thereby cleaning the mop 3001. Dirt from the mop 3001 during cleaning flows from the cleaning tank 10 into the drain trough 30 and out through the first outlet 31 and the second outlet 301.

[0152] After the wiping member 3001 has finished cleaning, the base station 1000 continues to control the liquid supply system to supply liquid to the liquid outlet 11. Under the action of the water pump, the liquid is sprayed from the liquid outlet 11 toward the cleaning tank 10, flushing the dirt in the cleaning tank 10 into the drainage trough 30 and out through the first outlet 31 and the second outlet 301, thereby keeping the cleaning tank 10 relatively clean and preventing dirt from accumulating in the cleaning tank 10.

[0153] In one example, after the cleaning tank 10 is cleaned, the base station 1000 controls the liquid supply system to supply liquid to the spray hole 33. This prevents waste of liquid in the clean water tank of the base station 1000. The clean water tank, second liquid inlet 305, and second liquid inlet nozzle 90 of the base station 1000 are connected in sequence, and a water pump is provided on the pipeline connecting the clean water tank, second liquid inlet 305, and second liquid inlet nozzle 90 of the base station 1000. The second liquid inlet nozzle 90 is also connected to the spray hole 33. When cleaning the sewage tank 30, the water pump is activated, so that liquid in the clean water tank of the base station 1000 can flow through the second liquid inlet 305 and second liquid inlet nozzle 90 into the spray hole 33. The liquid is sprayed from the spray hole 33 toward the sewage tank 30, causing the dirt in the sewage tank 30 to flow out from the first outlet 31 and the second outlet 301. This keeps the sewage tank 30 relatively clean and prevents dirt from accumulating in the sewage tank 30.

[0154] In another example, while base station 1000 controls the liquid supply system to supply liquid to liquid outlet 11 to clean wash tank 10, base station 1000 can also control the liquid supply system to supply liquid to jet hole 33 to clean drain tank 30. In this case, the liquid supply system can more efficiently clean tray 100, allowing both wash tank 10 and drain tank 30 to be cleaned simultaneously.

[0155] 3 and 7 , in another embodiment, the liquid supply system may include a clean water tank, a first liquid inlet 303, a first liquid inlet nozzle 50, a liquid guide nozzle 60, a liquid guide member 70, a second liquid inlet 305, a second liquid inlet nozzle 90, and a water pump of the cleaning robot 3000. The clean water tank, the first liquid inlet 303, the first liquid inlet nozzle 50, the liquid guide nozzle 60, and the liquid guide member 70 of the cleaning robot 3000 are sequentially connected. The water pump is disposed on a pipeline connecting the clean water tank, the first liquid inlet 303, the first liquid inlet nozzle 50, the liquid guide nozzle 60, and the liquid guide member 70 of the cleaning robot 3000. The liquid guide member 70 is connected to the liquid outlet 11. When the water pump is activated, liquid in the clean water tank of the cleaning robot 3000 can flow through the first liquid inlet 303, the first liquid inlet nozzle 50, the liquid guide nozzle 60, and the liquid guide member 70, and out of the liquid outlet 11 to clean the mopping member 3001 and the cleaning tank 10. The clean water tank, second liquid inlet 305, and second liquid inlet nozzle 90 of the cleaning robot 3000 are connected in sequence, and a water pump is provided on a pipe connecting the clean water tank, second liquid inlet 305, and second liquid inlet nozzle 90 of the cleaning robot 3000. The second liquid inlet nozzle 90 is connected to the spray hole 33. When the water pump is activated, liquid in the clean water tank of the cleaning robot 3000 can flow into the second liquid inlet 305 and second liquid inlet nozzle 90 and out of the spray hole 33 to clean the sewage tank 30.

[0156] In another embodiment, the cleaning system 10000 includes a separate clean water tank, and the liquid supply system may include the clean water tank, the first liquid inlet 303, the first liquid inlet nozzle 50, the liquid guide nozzle 60, the liquid guide member 70, the second liquid inlet 305, the second liquid inlet nozzle 90, and a water pump of the cleaning system 10000. The clean water tank, the first liquid inlet 303, the first liquid inlet nozzle 50, the liquid guide nozzle 60, and the liquid guide member 70 of the cleaning system 10000 are connected in sequence, and the water pump is disposed on a pipeline connecting the clean water tank, the first liquid inlet 303, the first liquid inlet nozzle 50, the liquid guide nozzle 60, and the liquid guide member 70 of the base station 1000, and the liquid guide member 70 is connected to the liquid outlet 11. When the water pump is activated, liquid in the clean water tank of cleaning system 10000 flows through first liquid inlet 303, first liquid inlet nozzle 50, liquid guide nozzle 60, and liquid guide member 70, and out of liquid outlet 11 to clean the mopping member 3001 and cleaning trough 10. The clean water tank, second liquid inlet 305, and second liquid inlet nozzle 90 of cleaning system 10000 are sequentially connected, and the water pump is disposed on the pipeline connecting the clean water tank, second liquid inlet 305, and second liquid inlet nozzle 90 of cleaning system 10000. The second liquid inlet nozzle 90 is connected to the spray hole 33. When the water pump is activated, liquid in the clean water tank of cleaning system 10000 can flow through second liquid inlet 305 and second liquid inlet nozzle 90 and out of the spray hole 33 to clean the sewage trough 30.

[0157] Referring to FIG. 1 , FIG. 11 , FIG. 12 and FIG. 15 , in certain embodiments, 041 : the liquid outlet 11 sprays liquid to clean the wiping member 3001 , including:

[0158] 0411: driving the wiping member 3001 to rotate along the second direction b, so that the water on the wiping member 3001 is scraped off by the scraping member 3002 of the cleaning robot 3000 and flows into the cleaning tank 10; and

[0159] 0413: Control the liquid supply system to supply liquid to the liquid outlet 11 so that the liquid outlet 11 sprays liquid onto the wiping member 3001.

[0160] After the cleaning robot 3000 enters the base station 1000 and the wiping member 3001 enters the cleaning tank 10, or after cleaning the wastewater link 3009, the cleaning robot 3000 can drive the wiping member 3001 to rotate in the second direction b. Wastewater from the wiping member 3001 is scraped off by the scraping member 3002 and flows into the cleaning tank 10. From there, the wastewater flows into the drain trough 30 and is discharged through the first outlet 31 and the second outlet 301. After the wastewater from the wiping member 3001 entering the base station 1000 is scraped off by the scraping member 3002, the base station 1000 controls the liquid supply system to supply liquid to the liquid outlet 11. Under the action of the water pump, liquid is sprayed from the liquid outlet 11 toward the wiping member 3001, cleaning it. During the cleaning process, waste from the wiping member 3001 flows from the cleaning tank 10 into the drain trough 30 and is discharged through the first outlet 31 and the second outlet 301. There will be no dirt accumulation in the cleaning tank 10, so the wiping member 3001 has a better cleaning effect in the cleaning tank 10.

[0161] In other embodiments, after the cleaning robot 3000 enters the base station 1000 and the mop 3001 enters the cleaning tank 10, or after the sewage link 3009 is cleaned, the cleaning robot 3000 can drive the mop 3001 to rotate along the second direction b, while the base station 1000 controls the liquid supply system to supply liquid to the liquid outlet 11. Under the action of the water pump, the liquid is sprayed from the liquid outlet 11 toward the mop 3001 to clean the mop 3001.

[0162] Please refer to FIG. 1 , FIG. 11 , FIG. 12 and FIG. 16 . In certain embodiments, 02: starting the self-cleaning operation of the sewage link 3009 includes:

[0163] 021: Drain the sewage in the sewage tank 3005 of the sewage link 3009 into the cleaning tank 10 or the sewage tank 30; and

[0164] 023: Provide cleaning liquid to the sewage link 3009 so that the cleaning liquid flows through the sewage link 3009 and is discharged from the cleaning device 3000.

[0165] Please refer to FIG. 17 . In some embodiments, 023 : the cleaning liquid flows through the sewage link 3009 and exits the cleaning device 3000 , including:
