[0066] To better understand the above technical solutions, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the embodiments of this application and the specific features in the embodiments are detailed descriptions of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application, rather than limitations on the technical solutions of this application. In the absence of conflict, the embodiments of this application and the technical features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0067] In some related technologies, snap-on door components are used to seal the dust collection compartment of the base station to make the robot vacuum cleaner more aesthetically pleasing. However, during use, the negative pressure of the dust collection compartment directly acts on the door component, which may cause the door component to open accidentally, be difficult to open, or even deform, affecting the user experience. In other related technologies, the dust collection compartment door component can be completely disassembled, but the user must first use both hands to remove the door component, place it back on the ground, and then replace the parts that need to be replaced (such as dust bags and cleaning fluid tanks). The user's disassembly and assembly process is cumbersome and inconvenient. In the above-mentioned related technologies, the manufacturing requirements of the components are high. When there are problems such as dimensional errors in the components or improper installation by the user, insufficient airtightness (insufficient negative pressure) may occur, leading to dust collection failure. This will seriously affect the user experience and may even cause the dust collection function of the base station to fail due to the accumulation of garbage in the dust collection pipe.

[0068] Based on this, as shown in Figures 1 to 14, a first aspect of the present application provides a base station, comprising: a base station body 110, the base station body 110 including a dust collection chamber; a door assembly 120, the door assembly 120 including a first door 121 and a second door 122 connected to each other for closing the dust collection chamber; and a tension member 140 connected to the first door 121 and the second door 122, wherein when the door assembly 120 covers the base station body 110, the tension member 140 applies tension to the second door 122 so that the second door 122 covers the dust collection chamber.

[0069] As shown in Figures 1 to 5, the base station provided in this embodiment includes a base station body 110, a door assembly 120, and a tension member 140. The door assembly 120 includes a first door 121 and a second door 122. During use, the base station can accommodate the main body of cleaning equipment, such as a robotic vacuum cleaner. When there is no need to replace the dust bag or add cleaning agent, the door assembly 120 can be locked onto the base station body 110 to close the dust collection chamber. In this case, the door assembly 120 is a flat surface, resulting in a cleaner and more aesthetically pleasing base station. When it is necessary to replace the dust bag or clean the dust collection chamber, the door assembly 120 can be unlocked, allowing the user to replace the dust bag and / or add cleaning agent.

[0070] In the base station provided in this application embodiment, when the dust collection chamber is closed by the door assembly 120, the tension member 140 can apply tension force to the second door 122. Therefore, when the first door 121 is in the closed state, the second door 122 can be fastened to the dust collection chamber. When the base station collects dust under negative pressure, the negative pressure will act on the second door 122, but will not act on the first door 121, or will act on the first door 121 very little. Based on this, the probability of deformation of the first door 121 can be greatly reduced or eliminated, making the door assembly 120 more aesthetically pleasing, and thus making the base station more aesthetically pleasing.

[0071] Understandably, by setting tension element 140, tension force is applied to the second door 122. When the door assembly 120 is closed, the second door 122 can directly seal the dust collection chamber and can make closer contact with the wall of the dust collection chamber, which can ensure the airtightness of the second door 122. On the one hand, it can ensure the effect of negative pressure dust collection; on the other hand, it can reduce the negative pressure acting on the first door 121.

[0072] In some examples, tension member 140 may include any structure capable of applying tension force to second door body 122, such as springs, cylinders, rubber parts, etc.

[0073] It is understood that the base station provided in this application embodiment is particularly suitable for embedded cleaning systems, such as base stations that can be embedded in walls, cabinets or other furniture, and the door assembly 120 set on the side (not the top) can reduce the space occupied by the base station. Even when the cleaning system is not in use, the cleaning system can be completely concealed, resulting in a high user experience.

[0074] As shown in Figure 3, in one feasible implementation, the first door 121 at least partially covers the second door 122.

[0075] In this embodiment, the positional relationship between the first door 121 and the second door 122 is further provided. The first door 121 at least partially covers the second door 122, that is, the coverage area of ​​the first door 121 is larger than that of the second door 122. When the hatch assembly 120 is closed, the second door 122 can be in a hidden state, and the first door 121 serves as the exterior surface, making it more aesthetically pleasing.

[0076] Understandably, considering that the first door 121 serves as the exterior surface and the second door 122 is used to bear the negative pressure of the dust collection chamber 111, the first door 121 can be made of a lighter and more aesthetically pleasing material, while the second door 122 can be made of a material with higher mechanical strength.

[0077] As shown in Figures 2 and 3, in one feasible implementation, the first door 121 is hinged to the base station body 110, and the second door 122 is movably connected to the first door 121.

[0078] In this embodiment, a connection method for the first door 121 and the second door 122 is further provided. The first door 121 is hinged to the base station body 110, and the second door 122 is movably connected to the first door 121. Based on this, when the door assembly 120 is opened, the second door 122 can be moved by rotating the first door 121. The second door 122 can be directly connected to the first door 121. When the door assembly 120 closes the dust collection chamber 111 and the dust collection chamber 111 collects dust, the second door 122 can move relative to the first door 121 under negative pressure. The second door 122 can then close the dust collection chamber 111. The negative pressure of the dust collection chamber 111 will act on the second door 122, while the first door 121 will not bear or will bear very little negative pressure. This ensures airtightness, prevents deformation of the first door 121, and ensures the stability of the locking of the first door 121. At the same time, it simplifies the structure of the door assembly 120. Only the first door 121 needs to be rotated to move the second door 122. Users do not need to operate the second door 122, making it more convenient to use.

[0079] As shown in Figures 4 to 7, in one feasible embodiment, the first door 121 includes a support plate 1211 and a sliding groove 1212. The support plate 1211 is hinged to the base station body 110, and the sliding groove 1212 is formed on the support plate 1211. The second door 122 is provided with a sliding rod 1221, which is inserted into the sliding groove 1212 so that the second door 122 is slidably connected to the first door 121.

[0080] In this technical solution, a specific connection method between the first door 121 and the second door 122 is further provided. The first door 121 may include a support plate 1211 and a slide groove 1212. The second door 122 may include a slide rod 1221, which is inserted into the slide groove 1212. The second door 122 can move relative to the support plate 1211, making the movable connection between the second door 122 and the first door 121 more convenient. When used in combination with the tension member 140, the tension member 140 can apply tension force using the movable space between the second door 122 and the first door 121. On the other hand, since the second door 122 is movablely connected to the first door 121, when the base station collects dust, negative pressure can be applied to the second door 122. In addition to being pushed by the tension member 140, the second door 122 can also have a tendency to move under the action of negative pressure, so that the second door 122 can better abut against the dust collection chamber 111, which can further improve the airtightness.

[0081] As shown in Figures 4 to 7, in one feasible embodiment, the first door 121 further includes a panel 1213, which is connected to the support plate 1211. The panel 1213 serves as the exterior surface of the first door 121, making the door assembly 120 more aesthetically pleasing and thus making the base station neater.

[0082] As shown in Figures 4 to 8, in one feasible implementation, the base station further includes: a first limiting member 130, which is connected to one end of the slide rod 1221 that is away from the second door 122.

[0083] In this technical solution, the base station may also include a first limiting member 130, which is fixed to one end of the slide rail away from the second door 122. The first limiting member 130 can limit the distance that the second door 122 moves relative to the first door 121, reduce the probability of shaking and abnormal noise during the use of the door assembly 120, and further improve the user experience.

[0084] It is understandable that the first limiting member 130 can be a screw, such as a screw connected to one end of the slide rod 1221 extending out of the support plate 1211; or it can be a washer, such as a washer connected to one end of the slide rod 1221 extending out of the support plate 1211.

[0085] As shown in Figure 8, in one feasible embodiment, the base station further includes a first sealing member 150, which is disposed on the side of the second door 122 opposite to the first door 121, and is used to abut against the wall of the dust collection chamber 111. This arrangement allows the second door 122 to be sealed to the dust collection chamber 111 when the dust collection chamber 111 is under negative pressure, reducing the negative pressure exerted on the first door 121.

[0086] As shown in Figure 5, in one feasible embodiment, the base station further includes a second seal 160, which is connected to the first door 121 and located between the second door 122 and the first door 121. This arrangement can reduce wear between the first door 121 and the second door 122, thereby improving the service life of the door assembly 120.

[0087] As shown in Figure 5, in one feasible implementation, the base station further includes a locking member 170, which is used to lock the first door 121 onto the base station body 110 or to unlock the door assembly 120.

[0088] In this technical solution, the base station may further include a locking element 170. When there is no need to replace the dust bag of the base station or add cleaning agent, the door assembly 120 can be locked to the base station body 110 through the locking element 170 to close the dust collection chamber 111. In this case, the door assembly 120 is a flat surface, resulting in a cleaner and more aesthetically pleasing base station. When it is necessary to replace the dust bag or add cleaning agent, the door assembly 120 can be unlocked through the locking element 170, allowing the user to replace and clean the dust bag and clean the dust collection chamber 111. With the base station provided in this application embodiment, only the door assembly 120 needs to be opened to replace the dust bag or add cleaning agent to the dust collection chamber 111. The opening space required for the door assembly 120 is very small, saving opening and closing space and saving home decoration space for users. In addition, users can open and close the door assembly 120 with one hand, making the operation simpler and improving the user experience. The design of the door assembly 120 reduces the probability of the locking element 170 being accidentally opened.

[0089] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, in one feasible embodiment, the locking member 170 includes: a male buckle 171, which is disposed on the base station body 110; and a push switch 172, which is connected to the first door 121. When the push switch 172 is connected to the male buckle 171, the door assembly 120 closes the dust collection chamber 111.

[0090] In this technical solution, the structure of the locking member 170 is further provided. The locking member 170 may include a male latch 171 and a push switch 172. By pressing the push switch 172, the locking state of the locking member 170 can be changed. For example, when the push switch 172 is connected to the male latch 171, applying pressure to the push switch 172 will unlock the push switch 172 from the male latch 171. In this case, the first door 121 will be unlocked, and the dust collection chamber 111 can be opened. When the push switch 172 on the first door 121 is pressed against the male latch 171 again, the locking member 170 can lock the door assembly 120 and the base station body 110, and the door assembly 120 will be closed.

[0091] In this technical solution, the locking component 170 includes a male buckle 171 and a push-button switch 172, allowing the user to control the opening and closing of the door assembly 120 with one hand, making it more convenient for the user to clean and replace the dust bag. The mechanical structure design reduces costs, and when used in combination with the second door 122, it prevents negative pressure from the dust collection chamber 111 acting on the first door 121, thus avoiding accidental opening of the first door 121.

[0092] In one possible implementation, the locking element 170 includes an electromagnetic switch and an infrared sensing button, the infrared sensing button being disposed on the door assembly 120, and the electromagnetic switch being disposed on the door assembly 120 and / or the base station body 110.

[0093] In this technical solution, the door assembly 120 can also be opened or closed by touch. The locking element 170 can include an electromagnetic switch and an infrared sensor button. When the door assembly 120 is closed, the electromagnetic switch can attract the door assembly 120, locking it. When the user blocks the infrared sensor switch, the infrared sensor switch can turn off the electromagnetic switch, unlocking the door assembly 120. The door assembly 120 can then rotate away from the dust collection chamber 111, opening the dust collection chamber 111. In this way, the user can also control the opening and closing of the door assembly 120 with one hand, making it more convenient for the user to clean and replace the dust bag.

[0094] As shown in Figures 8 to 14, in one feasible embodiment, the base station further includes: a pivot bracket 180, which is connected to the base station body 110; a pivot 190, which is disposed inside the pivot bracket 180, and the first door 121 is connected to the pivot 190.

[0095] In this technical solution, the base station may further include a pivot bracket 180 and a pivot 190. The pivot 190 is connected to the door assembly 120, and the pivot 190 is then inserted into the pivot bracket 180. The first door 121 can then rotate relative to the base station body 110, making the opening and closing of the first door 121 more stable.

[0096] As shown in Figures 8 to 14, in one feasible implementation, the base station further includes a second limiting member 200, which is formed on the pivot bracket 180 and is used to limit the opening of the door assembly 120.

[0097] In this technical solution, the pivot bracket 180 may also include a second limiting member 200. During the opening or closing of the first door 121, the pivot bracket 180 is stationary relative to the first door 121. When the first door 121 is opened to its limit position, the first door 121 can abut against the second limiting member 200. The second limiting member 200 can prevent the first door 121 from continuing to rotate relative to the base station body 110, thereby limiting the opening of the first door 121, preventing the first door 121 from blocking the receiving cavity 112 below the base station body 110, and reducing the opening and closing stroke of the first door 121.

[0098] It is understood that the second limiting member 200 may include a protrusion formed on the pivot bracket 180.

[0099] It is understandable that by setting the second limiting member 200 to limit the opening of the first door 121, the impact of the first door 121 on other structural components can be avoided during the opening of the first door 121, reducing the generation of abnormal noise, and at the same time preventing collisions between different components, thus reducing the failure rate.

[0100] As shown in Figures 8 to 14, in one feasible embodiment, there are at least two pivot brackets 180, and each pivot bracket 180 is provided with a pivot 190 or a pivot 190 passes through multiple pivot brackets 180.

[0101] In this technical solution, there can be two or more pivot brackets 180. By fixing the first door 121 with multiple pivot brackets 180, the first door 121 can be prevented from loosening or falling off, thereby increasing the service life of the base station and reducing the failure rate.

[0102] In this technical solution, each pivot bracket 180 can be equipped with a pivot 190. With this configuration, the first door 121 rotates through multiple pivots 190. When some pivots 190 fail, the first door 121 can still be opened or closed normally, resulting in a low failure rate.

[0103] In this technical solution, multiple pivot brackets 180 can also pass through the same pivot 190. This arrangement can reduce the processing difficulty of the first door body 121 and reduce the cost of the base station.

[0104] As shown in Figures 1 to 4, in one feasible embodiment, the base station body 110 further includes: a second part formed on the base station body 110, the second part forming a receiving cavity 112 for receiving the main body of the cleaning equipment; and / or a dust bag, the dust bag being detachably connected to the base station body 110 for placement in the dust collection chamber 111; and / or a box 113, the box 113 being disposed within the first part for containing cleaning liquid or water; wherein, the first part is located above the second part, and the dust collection chamber 111 is located within the first part.

[0105] In this technical solution, the base station body 110 may also include a receiving cavity 112, which can be used to store functional devices. The functional devices can be the main body of the cleaning equipment, and the base station can clean, store water, replenish cleaning agents, and charge the main body of the cleaning equipment.

[0106] In this technical solution, the door assembly 120 is used to rotate in the direction of the receiving cavity 112 to open the dust collection chamber 111. That is to say, the door assembly 120 opens the dust collection chamber 111 by rotating downwards. This arrangement ensures that the opening space required by the door assembly 120 is small, while opening a larger area of ​​the dust collection chamber 111, which is convenient for cleaning the dust collection chamber 111 and for replacing and cleaning the dust bag. When the door assembly 120 is opened, it can be opened by gravity, which makes it easier for users to open the door assembly 120 without the need for other power equipment, thus reducing costs.

[0107] In this technical solution, the base station may also include a dust bag, which can collect dust. The dust bag is detachably connected to the base station body 110. When the door assembly 120 is opened, the user can take out the dust bag in the dust collection chamber 111, making the cleaning and replacement of the dust bag more convenient.

[0108] In this technical solution, the base station may also include a housing 113, which can contain cleaning fluid. The main body of the cleaning equipment can be cleaned using water and / or cleaning fluid during the cleaning process.

[0109] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, angle α in Figure 2 represents the maximum opening of the door assembly 120 relative to the base station body 110. In one feasible embodiment, the maximum opening of the door assembly 120 relative to the base station body 110 is greater than or equal to 85°. This arrangement makes it easier for users to replace the dust bags inside the dust collection chamber 111.

[0110] As shown in Figures 1 to 14, a cleaning system is proposed according to a second aspect of the embodiments of this application, comprising: a base station as described in any of the above technical solutions; and a cleaning device body, the cleaning device body being installed within the base station.

[0111] The cleaning system provided in this application embodiment includes a base station of any of the above-described technical solutions, and therefore possesses all the beneficial effects of the base station of the above-described technical solutions.

[0112] The cleaning system provided in this application embodiment allows the door assembly 120 to be locked onto the base station body 110 to close the dust collection chamber 111 when there is no need to replace the dust bag of the base station or clean the dust collection chamber 111. In this case, the door assembly 120 is a flat surface, resulting in a cleaner and more aesthetically pleasing base station. When it is necessary to replace the dust bag or clean the dust collection chamber 111, the door assembly 120 can be unlocked, exposing the dust collection chamber 111, allowing the user to replace the dust bag and add cleaning agent. Furthermore, the door assembly 120 includes a first door body 121 and a second door body 122. When the door assembly 120 closes the dust collection chamber 111, the second door body 122 is closed within the dust collection chamber 111, while the first door body 121 can cover a larger area than the second door body 122. Because the first door body 121 is a flat surface, the base station is cleaner and more aesthetically pleasing. By sealing the dust collection chamber 111 with the second door 122, when the dust collection chamber 111 is under negative pressure, the force of the negative pressure will act on the second door 122, and will not act on or will act on the first door 121 very little. This helps to ensure the airtightness of the negative pressure dust collection, reduces the probability of deformation and damage to the first door 121, and reduces the probability of the door assembly 120 being accidentally opened or difficult to open.

[0113] It is understood that the cleaning system provided in this application embodiment can be a sweeping robot, and the main body of the cleaning equipment can be a cleaning device with mobility.
