[0065] 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.

[0066] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, a locking structure 100 is provided according to a first aspect of the present application, comprising: a locking portion 110, on which a locking opening 111 is formed; a locking buckle 120, at the end of which a buckle head 121 is formed, the width of the buckle head 121 being smaller than the width of the locking opening 111 and the length of the buckle head 121 being greater than the width of the locking opening 111; and an adjusting component 130, which, when pressed, causes the locking buckle 120 to rotate relative to the locking portion 110, so that the buckle head 121 is locked or disengaged from the locking opening 111.

[0067] The locking structure 100 provided in this embodiment includes a locking part 110, a latch 120, and an adjusting component 130. During use, if the initial state is that the latch head 121 of the latch 120 is inside the locking part 110, and the latch head 121 is arranged along its length, then the latch head 121 will abut against the locking part 110. Since the length of the latch head 121 is greater than the width of the lock opening 111, the latch head 121 will be locked inside the locking part 110, and the locking structure 100 will be locked. When unlocking is required, it can be pressed... Pressing the adjusting component 130 causes the latch 120 to rotate. The latch head 121 is arranged along the width direction, and the length of the latch head 121 in the width direction is less than the width of the latch 120. The latch 120 can disengage from the locking part 110, and the latch structure 100 is unlocked. When it is necessary to unlock again, simply press the adjusting component 130 again, and the adjusting component 130 can cause the latch 120 to rotate again, so that the latch head 121 is arranged along the length direction, and the latch structure 100 will be locked again. The latch structure 100 provided in this application embodiment has a simple structure and a low failure rate.

[0068] It is understood that the locking structure 100 provided in this application embodiment is applicable to base stations of cleaning equipment, and of course it can also be applied to other equipment. This application does not limit the specific application scenario of the locking structure 100.

[0069] Understandably, when the latch structure 100 is applied to a base station, it facilitates the unlocking or locking of the base station's door 220. In addition, the latch structure 100 has a low failure rate and a simple structure, which can reduce costs.

[0070] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, in one feasible embodiment, the adjusting assembly 130 includes: a first guide portion 131, on the side of the first guide portion 131 opposite to the locking portion 110, a first guide surface 1311 is formed; and a second guide portion 132, on the side of the second guide portion 132 facing the first guide portion 131, a second guide surface 1321 is formed; wherein, when the second guide portion 132 is pressed, the second guide surface 1321 and the first guide surface 1311 drive the latch 120 to rotate.

[0071] In this technical solution, the structural composition of the adjustment component 130 is further provided. The adjustment component 130 includes a first guide portion 131 and a second guide portion 132, and a first guide surface 1311 and a second guide surface 1321 are respectively formed on the first guide portion 131 and the second guide portion 132. A portion of the latch 120 can be located between the first guide portion 131 and the second guide portion 132. Based on this, when the adjustment component 130 is pressed, the first guide surface 1311 and the second guide surface 1321 will contact the latch 120, and the latch 120 can be rotated through the first guide surface 1311 and the second guide surface 1321, thereby adjusting the unlocking or locking state of the latch structure 100. Based on this, the latch 120 can be rotated by a purely mechanical structure, which can further reduce the cost of the latch structure 100.

[0072] It is understandable that both the first guide surface 1311 and the second guide surface 1321 can be inclined or curved surfaces to facilitate the contact between the first guide surface 1311 and the second guide surface 1321, thereby facilitating the rotation of the latch 120.

[0073] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, in one feasible embodiment, the latch 120 includes: a rotating shaft 122, with a latch head 121 connected to the rotating shaft 122; a limiting part 123 connected to the rotating shaft 122 and located between the first guide part 131 and the second guide part 132; and a limiting protrusion 124 connected to the limiting part 123. When the second guide part 132 is pressed, the second guide surface 1321 and the first guide surface 1311 contact the limiting protrusion 124 to drive the latch 120 to rotate.

[0074] In this technical solution, a structure for the latch 120 is further provided. The latch 120 may include a rotating shaft 122, a limiting part 123, and a limiting protrusion 124. Based on this, the limiting part 123 and the limiting protrusion 124 can be located between the first guide part 131 and the second guide part 132. When the adjustment component 130 is pressed, the first guide surface 1311 and the second guide surface 1321 on the first guide part 131 and the second guide part 132 will contact the limiting protrusion 124. As the pressing depth changes, the limiting protrusion 124 will drive the limiting part 123 to rotate. The limiting part 123 can then drive the rotating shaft 122 to rotate, thereby driving the buckle 121 connected to the rotating shaft 122 to rotate.

[0075] It is understandable that the buckle 121 can be rectangular in shape, and the rotation angle of the buckle 121 can be controlled by controlling the length of the first guide surface 1311 and the second guide surface 1321. Each time the adjustment component 130 is pressed, the rotation angle can be controlled at 90°. Based on this, the unlocking state of the latch structure 100 can be switched each time it is pressed.

[0076] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, in one feasible implementation, there are multiple first guide surfaces 1311, which are connected end to end in a ring arrangement; there are multiple second guide surfaces 1321, which are connected end to end in a ring arrangement.

[0077] In this technical solution, a layout of the first guide surface 1311 and the second guide surface 1321 is further provided. There can be multiple first guide surfaces 1311 and second guide surfaces 1321, and they can all be arranged in a ring. Based on this, it is convenient for the first guide surface 1311 and the second guide surface 1321 to abut against the limiting protrusion 124, so that the locking buckle 120 can be driven to rotate each time the adjustment component 130 is pressed.

[0078] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, in one feasible embodiment, the number of first guide surfaces 1311 is the same as the number of second guide surfaces 1321; the number of limiting protrusions 124 is the same as the number of first guide surfaces 1311. This arrangement ensures that the first guide surfaces 1311 and second guide surfaces 1321 have the same dimensions. This facilitates the manufacturing of the first guide portions 131 and 1321, and also facilitates contact between the first guide surfaces 1311 and 1321 and the limiting protrusions 124.

[0079] In one feasible embodiment, the latching structure 100 further includes a reset member 140, as shown in Figures 1 and 2. One end of the reset member 140 is connected to the latch 120, and the other end is used to abut against the second guide portion 132.

[0080] In this technical solution, the locking structure 100 may further include a reset member 140. This arrangement is based on the consideration that a gap needs to be left between the first guide portion 131 and the second guide portion 132 to allow the second guide portion 132 to move relative to the first guide portion 131. This movement, via the first guide surface 1311 and the second guide surface 1321, drives the lock 120 to rotate. The reset member 140 serves two purposes: firstly, it can reset the second guide portion 132, thereby periodically locking or unlocking the lock 120; secondly, the combined arrangement of the reset member 140 and the buckle 121 provides tactile feedback when the user presses the adjustment component 130, allowing the user to confirm that the lock 120 has rotated. This makes the locking structure 100 more convenient and comfortable to use.

[0081] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, in one feasible embodiment, in the natural state, there is a gap between the first guide portion 131 and the locking portion 110.

[0082] In this technical solution, the layout relationship between the first guide portion 131 and the locking portion 110 is further provided. In its natural state, there is a gap between the first guide portion 131 and the locking portion 110. Based on this, during the use of the latching structure 100, if the initial state is locked and unlocking is required, the adjusting component 130 can be pressed. In this case, the first guide portion 131 will move towards the locking portion 110, and the first guide portion 131 will first abut against the locking portion 110. Then, the second guide portion 132 will move towards the first guide portion 131. The first guide part 131 and the second guide part 132 can drive the latch 120 to rotate. After the rotation is completed, the user removes the external force, and the adjustment component 130 is reset under the action of the reset part 140, so that a gap is formed between the second guide part 132 and the first guide part 131, and a gap is formed between the first guide part 131 and the latch structure 100. Pressing the adjustment component 130 again can repeat the above process to switch between the locking and unlocking states, making the latch structure 100 more convenient to use. The locking and unlocking states of the latch structure 100 can be adjusted by pressing, making it more convenient to use.

[0083] Understandably, "natural state" means that the regulating component 130 is not subjected to any external force applied by human intervention.

[0084] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, in one feasible embodiment, the locking part 110 includes: a locking cavity 112, with a locking opening 111 leading to the locking cavity 112, the locking cavity 112 being used to accommodate the buckle 121; and a stop member 113, the stop member 113 being disposed within the locking cavity 112, the buckle 121 being used to abut against the stop member 113.

[0085] In this technical solution, the structure of the locking part 110 is further provided. The locking part 110 may include a locking cavity 112 and a stop member 113. When the locking structure 100 is in the locked state, the buckle head 121 of the buckle 120 can be located within the locking cavity 112. When the adjusting component 130 is pressed to drive the buckle 120 to rotate, the buckle head 121 can abut against the stop member 113. On the one hand, this can prevent the buckle head 121 from moving forward further, making it easier to drive the buckle head 121 to rotate through the adjusting component 130. On the other hand, the stop member 113 can provide tactile and auditory feedback to the user, making it easier for the user to determine the locked and unlocked state of the locking structure 100, thus making the use of the locking structure 100 more convenient.

[0086] As shown in Figures 1 to 11, a base station is provided according to a second aspect of the embodiments of this application, comprising: a base station body 210, the base station body 210 including a dust collection chamber; a door 220, the door 220 being hinged to the base station body 210 for opening or closing the dust collection chamber; and a locking structure 100 as described in any of the above technical solutions, the locking structure 100 being used to lock or unlock the door 220.

[0087] The base station provided in this application embodiment includes the locking structure 100 of any of the above technical solutions, and therefore the base station has all the beneficial effects of the locking structure 100 of the above technical solutions.

[0088] The base station provided in this application embodiment includes a base station body 210, a door 220, and a locking structure 100. This base station can be applied to cleaning equipment, and users can open and close the door 220 with one hand, making the operation simpler and the user experience better.

[0089] In one feasible implementation, the door 220 includes: a door body 221 and a bracket 222, one end of the door body 221 is hinged to one end of the bracket 222; wherein, the first guide portion 131 of the adjustment component 130 is disposed at the other end of the bracket 222, the second guide portion 132 of the adjustment component 130 is disposed at the other end of the door body 221, and the locking portion 110 is connected to the base station body 210.

[0090] In this technical solution, the structural composition of the hatch 220 is further provided. The hatch 220 may include a door body 221 and a bracket 222. The door body 221 and the bracket 222 provide installation positions for the first guide part 131 and the second guide part 132, respectively. The hinge between the door body 221 and the bracket 222 facilitates the movement of the second guide part 132 relative to the first guide part 131, which facilitates the rotation of the latch 120.

[0091] As shown in Figures 5, 7, 9, and 11, in one feasible embodiment, the first guide portion 131 and the bracket 222 are an integral structure; the second guide portion 132 and the door body 221 are an integral structure; and the locking portion 110 and the housing of the base station body 210 are an integral structure. This configuration, on the one hand, reduces the processing difficulty of the bracket 222, door body 221, and base station body 210, allowing the locking structure 100 to be directly installed on the base station through a process, resulting in low processing costs and low assembly difficulty; on the other hand, it improves the mechanical strength of the base station, further reducing the failure rate.

[0092] A cleaning system is provided according to a third aspect of the embodiments of this application, comprising: a locking structure 100 as described in any of the above technical solutions; and / or a base station as described in any of the above technical solutions; and a cleaning device body, the cleaning device body being stored in the base station.

[0093] The cleaning system provided in this application embodiment includes the locking structure 100 and / or base station of any of the above technical solutions, and therefore the cleaning equipment has all the beneficial effects of the locking structure 100 and base station of the above technical solutions.

[0094] The locking structure 100 of the cleaning equipment provided in this application embodiment includes a locking part 110, a latch 120, and an adjusting component 130. During use, if the initial state is that the latch head 121 of the latch 120 is inside the locking part 110, and the latch head 121 is arranged along its length, then the latch head 121 will abut against the locking part 110. Since the length of the latch head 121 is greater than the width of the lock opening 111, the latch head 121 will be locked inside the locking part 110, and the locking structure 100 is locked. When unlocking is required, it can be... Pressing the adjusting component 130 causes the latch 120 to rotate. The latch head 121 is arranged along the width direction, and the length of the latch head 121 in the width direction is less than the width of the latch 120. The latch 120 can disengage from the locking part 110, and the latch structure 100 is unlocked. When it is necessary to unlock again, simply press the adjusting component 130 again, and the adjusting component 130 can cause the latch 120 to rotate again, so that the latch head 121 is arranged along the length direction, and the latch structure 100 will be locked again. The latch structure 100 provided in this application embodiment has a simple structure and a low failure rate.

[0095] The base station for the cleaning equipment provided in this application embodiment includes a base station body 210, a door 220, and a locking structure 100. This base station can be used on cleaning equipment. The base station can be used to store the main body of the cleaning equipment, such as a robot vacuum cleaner. When there is no need to replace the dust bag of the base station or clean the dust collection chamber, the door 220 can be locked to the base station body 210 through the locking structure 100 to close the dust collection chamber. In this case, the door 220 is a flat surface, the base station is cleaner, and the appearance of the door 220 can be matched with the style of the user's home decoration, making the base station more aesthetically pleasing. When it is necessary to replace the dust bag or clean the dust collection chamber, the door 220 can be unlocked through the locking structure 100, the door 220 is opened and the dust collection chamber is exposed, and the user can replace and clean the dust bag and clean the dust collection chamber. With the base station provided in this application embodiment, the dust bag in the dust collection chamber can be replaced or cleaned simply by opening the door 220. The space required to open the door 220 is very small, which can save opening and closing space and save home decoration space for users. In addition, users can open and close the door 220 with one hand, making the operation simpler and the user experience better.

[0096] It is understandable that the cleaning equipment can be automated cleaning equipment, and the main body of the cleaning equipment can include a robot vacuum cleaner.

[0097] Example

[0098] As shown in Figures 1 to 11, the base station provided in this embodiment includes: a locking part 110, a latch 120, a bracket 222, a door 221, and a reset member 140; the second guide part 132 on the door 221 has a plurality of second guide surfaces 1321, and the four second guide surfaces 1321 are arranged in a ring and include a guide slope A, a guide peak A, and a guide valley A; the first guide part 131 on the bracket 222 has a plurality of first guide surfaces 1311, and the four first guide surfaces 1311 include a guide slope B, a guide peak B, and a guide valley B; the locking part 110 has a stop member 113, a locking cavity 112, and a lock opening 111; the latch 120 has a buckle 121 and a limiting protrusion 124.

[0099] The operating principle of the base station's door 220 is as follows: When the door 220 is open, the latch 121 is parallel to the lock opening 111, and the latch 121 can pass through the lock opening 111; when the door 220 is pressed, the latch 121 contacts the stop 113. Due to the presence of the reset member 140, the reset member 140 is compressed, and the door 220 can continue to move. The limiting protrusion 124 on the latch 120 contacts the guide slope A; when the door 220 is pressed further, the latch 120 rotates in a fixed direction under the guidance of the guide slope A; initially, the latch 121 contacts the stop 113. When it rotates to a certain angle, the latch 121 rotates out of the stop rib protrusion area. Due to the presence of the reset member 140, the latch 121 will emit an impact sound and feedback, reminding the user that it has been pressed into place. At this point, the limiting protrusion 124 on the latch 120 has passed the guide peak point B under the action of the guide slope A and reached directly above the guide slope B. When the user releases his hand, the buckle head 121 deflects and cannot pass through the latch 120 hole, ensuring that the hatch 220 will not open. Under the action of the reset member 140, the latch 120 moves relative to the hatch 220, causing the limiting protrusion 124 to contact the guide slope B and continue to rotate under the guidance of the guide slope B. Finally, the limiting protrusion 124 reaches the guide valley point B, and the hatch 220 is fully locked. At this point, the limiting protrusion 124 has passed the guide peak point A and reached directly above the guide slope B, ensuring that when the hatch 220 is pressed again, the latch 120 can continue to rotate under the guidance of the guide slope B, achieving the purpose of unlocking.
