[0046] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0047] Cleaning devices such as robotic vacuum cleaners can be used to clean surfaces. After cleaning, the robotic vacuum cleaner can be stored at a base station, which then charges it. However, due to the relatively limited functionality of the base station, user usage of both robotic vacuum cleaners and base stations is relatively low.

[0048] To address the aforementioned issues, this application proposes a base station comprising a base and a wet cleaner detachably mounted on the base. When the wet cleaner is mounted on the base, the base station can support the wet cleaner, which can be used alone to clean the surface to be cleaned. The base station can also be used to connect to cleaning equipment, thereby increasing the usage scenarios of the base station and improving the utilization rate of the base station, the wet cleaner, and the cleaning equipment.

[0049] Please refer to Figures 1, 2, and 3. The base station 100 of this application can be used in a robot system. The robot system may include the aforementioned base station 100 and the cleaning device 200. When the cleaning device 200 is docked on the base 10, the base station 100 can be used to supply power to the cleaning device 200. Optionally, the base station 100 can also be used to extract wastewater stored in the cleaning device 200, or the base station 100 can also be used to clean components such as the dust collection box 230 of the cleaning device 200, thereby facilitating the cleaning of the cleaning device 200.

[0050] Cleaning equipment 200.

[0051] Please refer to Figure 2. In some examples, the cleaning device 200 may have a wastewater containment tank 210.

[0052] Wastewater container 210 can be a cavity structure on the cleaning device 200. In some examples, wastewater container 210 can be used to contain wastewater collected and generated during the cleaning process of the cleaning device 200 on the surface to be cleaned. In some examples, the cleaning device 200 has a dust collection box 230, which can collect solid waste from the surface to be cleaned.

[0053] In some examples, the cleaning device 200 has a clean water reservoir 220, which can be used to hold clean water and deliver clean water to preset parts such as a rag of the cleaning device 200 so that the preset parts can be cleaned after being wetted, or water can be sprayed directly onto the surface to be cleaned.

[0054] In some examples, the cleaning device 200 has a first power module 240, which can be a battery module with a battery, or a combination of a battery module with charging and discharging functions and a charging circuit. Optionally, in this example, the first power module 240 can be a combination of a wired charging circuit and a battery module, or a combination of a wireless charging circuit and a battery.

[0055] Base station 100.

[0056] Please refer to Figures 3 to 10. This application proposes an example of a base station 100 for docking with a cleaning device 200. The base station 100 includes a base 10 and a wet cleaner 20. The base 10 is used to dock with the cleaning device 200. The wet cleaner 20 is used to clean the surface to be cleaned. The wet cleaner 20 is detachably installed on the base 10.

[0057] Base 10.

[0058] The base 10 can be placed in a preset position. The base 10 can be used to dock with the cleaning device 200. The docking means that the cleaning device 200 can be placed in a preset position on the base 10. In this example, when the cleaning device 200 docks with the base 10, the cleaning device 200 can cooperate with a preset part of the base 10. The cleaning device 200 can be in contact with the base 10, or it can be in non-contact with the base 10. In the contact cooperation, the cleaning device 200 can directly abut, fit, or insert with the preset part of the base 10. In the non-contact cooperation, there can be a certain gap between the cleaning device 200 and the base 10.

[0059] Optionally, the base 10 may be provided with a position detection component 154 for detecting the position of the cleaning equipment 200. The position detection component 154 can be used to detect the position signal of the cleaning equipment 200. Optionally, the functional components for position detection may include a photoelectric detection component, a pressure detection component, or a combination of multiple detection components disposed on the base 10. The position detection component 154 can be used to determine whether the cleaning equipment 200 has reached a preset position on the base 10.

[0060] Power supply module 15.

[0061] Referring to Figure 10, in some examples, the base 10 may include a power supply module 15, which can be connected to mains power. Optionally, after the cleaning device 200 is docked onto the base 10, the power supply module 15 may be electrically connected to the first power module 240 so that the power supply module 15 can be used to charge the cleaning device 200. The power supply module 15 may include a power cord for connecting to a power source, and may also include a battery module with charging and discharging functions. The power supply module 15 can charge the cleaning device 200 via wired charging or wireless charging.

[0062] Washing tank 101.

[0063] Referring to Figure 3, in some examples, the base station 100 may also include a washing tank 101. The washing tank 101 may be a recessed groove on the base 10. When the cleaning device 200 is docked at a preset position on the base 10, the wet cleaning components such as the cleaning cloth of the cleaning device 200 may be at least partially located in the washing tank 101. The cleaning device 200 can be cleaned by introducing water into the washing tank 101. In some examples, the washing tank 101 may also be used as an area to receive wastewater generated when cleaning the wet cleaning components. When the cleaning device 200 is docked on the base 200, the wet cleaning components of the cleaning device 200 may be suspended above the washing tank 101. The wet cleaning components may be cleaned by transferring or spraying water onto them. The wastewater generated during cleaning can be collected in the washing tank 101.

[0064] In some examples, when the cleaning device 200 is docked to the base 10, the wastewater container 210 of the cleaning device 200 can be connected to the washing tank 101 so that water in the washing tank 101 can be drawn into the wastewater container 210.

[0065] In some examples, when the cleaning device 200 is docked to the base 10, the wastewater holding tank 210 of the cleaning device 200 can be connected to the washing tank 101, and the wastewater in the wastewater holding tank 210 can be pumped into the washing tank 101. In this example, a negative pressure device for pumping the wastewater in the wastewater holding tank 210 can be provided on the base 10, or a negative pressure device for pumping the wastewater in the wastewater holding tank 210 can be provided on the cleaning device 200.

[0066] Dust collection section 14.

[0067] Please refer again to Figures 5 to 9. In some examples, the base station 100 also includes a dust collection unit 14, which has a dust collection chamber 143 and an air inlet port 141 and an air outlet port 142 respectively connected to the dust collection chamber 143. The dust collection unit 14 can be fixedly or detachably connected to the base station 100.

[0068] The dust collection unit 14 can be a rigid box-shaped structure or a bag-shaped structure with deformable properties. The dust collection unit 14 can also be a combination of a rigid box-shaped structure and a deformable bag-shaped structure.

[0069] The dust collection section 14 is at least partially hollow, and the hollow portion inside the dust collection section 14 forms a dust collection chamber 143. An air inlet port 141 and an air outlet port 142 connect to the dust collection chamber 143, allowing airflow to enter the dust collection chamber 143 through the air inlet port 141 and exit through the air outlet port 142. Optionally, in this example, a pipe can also be connected to the dust collection section 14, forming a dust outlet duct 144, with the end of the pipe furthest from the dust collection section 14 forming the air inlet port 141. In some examples, when the wet cleaner 20 is installed on the base 10, the duct opening 192 can be connected to the wet cleaner 20, creating negative pressure on the air outlet port 142 of the dust collection chamber 143 through the wet cleaner 20. Optionally, the dust collection part 14 includes a rigid box-shaped structure. In the example of this application, the dust collection part 14 can be an independent box connected to the base 10, or the dust collection part 14 can be a cavity structure integrally formed with the base 10.

[0070] In some instances, the dust collection unit 14 includes a dust bag that can be used to contain solid impurities such as dust, and the dust collection chamber 143 is formed inside the dust bag.

[0071] In some examples, the dust collection unit 14 includes a dust bag, which can be used to contain solid impurities such as dust. The dust bag can be installed inside the dust collection chamber 143 to collect solid impurities entering the dust collection chamber 143. Optionally, the dust bag can also be installed at the air inlet port 141 or the air outlet port 142 of the dust collection unit 141. When the dust bag is inflated by wind, its outer contour can be generally cylindrical. Taking the dust bag being installed inside the dust collection chamber 143 as an example, when the airflow enters the dust collection chamber 143 from the air inlet port 141, the dust in the airflow can be blocked inside the dust bag. The dust bag can collect solid impurities in the airflow to purify the airflow. The purified airflow can be output from the air outlet port 142. The user can open the dust collection unit 14 when needed to clean or replace the dust bag.

[0072] Wastewater recovery liquid path 1002.

[0073] Please refer again to Figures 8 to 10. The wastewater recovery path 1002 can be a passage formed by a pipe installed on the base station 100. Optionally, the wastewater recovery path 1002 can also be a passage formed by a hollow area formed by a functional component on the base station 100. The wastewater recovery path 1002 can be used to form a channel for wastewater flow. When a negative pressure device is used to create negative pressure on the wastewater recovery path 1002, wastewater can flow along the wastewater recovery path 1002 in a preset direction. In this example, the number of wastewater recovery paths 1002 can be one. The number of wastewater recovery liquid paths 1002 can also be multiple, and the formation methods of multiple wastewater recovery liquid paths 1002 can be the same or different; optionally, the wastewater recovery liquid path 1002 may include a first wastewater circuit 242 and a second wastewater circuit 12, wherein the first wastewater circuit 242 and the second wastewater circuit 12 can be used to connect different functional components for extracting wastewater from multiple different functional components; the first wastewater circuit 242 and the second wastewater circuit 12 can also be used to connect the same functional component to form multiple wastewater passages, thereby helping to improve wastewater suction efficiency. (Second wastewater circuit 12)

[0074] Please refer again to Figures 6 and 7. In some examples, the base 10 has a second sewage circuit 12 and a sewage receiving port 121 and a sewage transfer port 122 connected to the second sewage circuit 12.

[0075] The second sewage circuit 12 can be a channel formed by a hollow pipe on the base 10. The hollow pipe can be separately set and connected to the base 10. Optionally, the sewage circuit 12 channel can also be a channel formed by a part of the hollow area on the base 10. The second sewage circuit 12 can be integrally formed when the base 10 is formed.

[0076] The base 10 is provided with a sewage receiving port 121 and a sewage adapter 122 communicating with the second sewage circuit 12. The sewage receiving port 121 may face the docking portion 11 of the base 10, and the sewage adapter 122 may face the outside of the base 10. Optionally, the sewage adapter 122 and / or the sewage receiving port 121 may be quick-connect ports formed on the base 10, and the quick-connect ports may be fixedly connected to the base. Optionally, the sewage adapter 122 and / or the sewage receiving port 121 may be an opening formed at the end of the second sewage circuit 12.

[0077] In some examples, the wastewater inlet 121 can be used to connect to the wastewater container 210 of the cleaning device 200 when the cleaning device 200 is connected to the base station 100. The connection of the wastewater inlet 121 to the wastewater container 210 of the cleaning device 200 means that the wastewater inlet 121 can be connected to the wastewater container 210 via a plug-in or other connection method. When a negative pressure is created in the second wastewater circuit 12, the wastewater in the wastewater container 210 can enter the second wastewater circuit 12 through the wastewater inlet 121 and flow to the wastewater adapter 122. In this example, the wastewater adapter 122 can be used to connect to the outside of the base station 100 to extract the wastewater from the wastewater container 210 of the cleaning device 200; the wastewater adapter 122 can also be connected to the wet cleaner 20 to pump the wastewater from the wastewater container 210 to a preset position within the wet cleaner 20.

[0078] In some examples, the base 10 is provided with a water washing tank 101 as described in any of the above examples. The water washing tank 101 can serve as a groove for cleaning specific parts of the cleaning equipment 200. The sewage receiving port 121 of the second sewage circuit 12 can be connected to the water washing tank 101 to pump the sewage in the water washing tank 101 into the second sewage circuit 12.

[0079] Referring to Figures 2 to 18, in some examples, the cleaning device 200 has a wastewater container 210; the base 10 has a second wastewater circuit 12 and a wastewater receiving port 121 and a wastewater adapter 122 connected to the second wastewater circuit 12. The wastewater receiving port 121 is used to connect to the wastewater container 210 of the cleaning device 200 when the cleaning device 200 is connected to the base station 100.

[0080] In some examples, the base station 100 further includes a dust collection unit 14, which has a dust collection chamber 143 and an air inlet port 141 and an air outlet port 142 respectively connected to the dust collection chamber 143. The air inlet port 141 is used to receive dust collection boxes 230 when the cleaning equipment 200 is docked with the base 10. The base station 100 also includes a sewage discharge power unit 215, which can be directly or indirectly connected to the dust collection unit 14 and can be used to suck solid impurities from the dust collection box 230 into the dust collection box 230. In some examples, the sewage discharge power unit 215 is used to connect to a sewage adapter 122 when the cleaning equipment 200 is docked with the base station 100, and to extract sewage from the sewage container 210 when the cleaning equipment 200 is docked with the base 10. The sewage discharge power unit 215 can be connected to the base 10 or to the outside of the base 10.

[0081] In some examples, the base 10 includes the washing tank 101 described in any of the above examples. The sewage discharge power unit 215 can be connected to the sewage adapter 122 so that the sewage discharge power unit 215 can generate negative pressure in the second sewage circuit 12 and pump the sewage from the washing tank 101 to a preset position. Optionally, the sewage discharge power unit 215 can also be connected to the air outlet 142 or the air duct 192. When the cleaning equipment 200 is docked on the base 10, the sewage discharge power unit 215 can generate negative pressure on the dust collection chamber 143 so that the dust in the dust collection box 230 of the cleaning equipment 200 can be sucked into the dust collection section 14 by the negative pressure. In this example, the flow path connected to the sewage discharge power unit 215 can be switched so that the sewage discharge power unit 215 can be used to extract sewage from the washing tank 101 or to extract solid impurities from the dust collection box 230. Optionally, the sewage discharge power unit 215 can simultaneously generate negative pressure on the washing tank 101 and the dust collection box 230, so that the sewage discharge power unit 215 can be used to extract both sewage and solid impurities at the same time. The sewage discharge power unit 215 in this example can be a dual-purpose dry and wet blower.

[0082] Second water supply circuit 13.

[0083] Referring to Figures 6 and 7, in some examples, the base 10 has a second water supply circuit 13. The second water supply circuit 13 can be a channel formed by a hollow pipe disposed on the base 10. The hollow pipe can be separately disposed from the base 10 and interconnected. Optionally, the second water supply circuit 13 can be a hollow area on the base 10, and the second water supply circuit 13 can be integrally formed when the base 10 is formed. Optionally, the base 10 is provided with a water supply receiving port 131 communicating with the second water supply circuit 13. The water supply receiving port 131 can serve as a port for inputting water into the second water supply circuit 13. In some examples, the base 10 is provided with a water supply receiving port 131 and a water supply adapter 132 communicating with the second water supply circuit 13. The water supply receiving port 131 and the water supply adapter 132 are respectively connected to the second water supply circuit 13. Water can enter the second water supply circuit 13 through the water supply receiving port 131 and be output to a preset position through the water supply adapter 132.

[0084] Referring to Figure 2, optionally, the water supply adapter 132 can be used to connect the cleaning device 200 to the clean water storage tank 220 of the cleaning device 200 when it is connected to the base station 100. The second water supply circuit 13 can serve as a channel for replenishing water to the cleaning device 200 from the base station 100 or an external water source. Connecting the water supply adapter 132 to the clean water storage tank 220 of the cleaning device 200 means that the water supply adapter 132 and the clean water storage tank 220 are connected through a suction nozzle or other means, allowing water to flow from the water supply adapter 132 to the clean water storage tank 220. In some examples, a water pump can be installed on the base 10 or the cleaning device 200 to pump water from the second water supply circuit 13 into the clean water storage tank 220.

[0085] Referring to Figures 3 to 7, in some examples, the base 10 is provided with a washing tank 101 as described in any of the above examples. The water supply adapter 132 can be connected to the washing tank 101 to replenish the washing tank 101 with clean water. Alternatively, the water supply adapter 132 can be used to deliver clean water to the surface of the wet cleaning component of the cleaning device 200 when the cleaning device 200 is docked at a preset position on the base 10.

[0086] In some examples, the base 10 has a device for storing liquid, and the second water supply circuit 13 can be used to form a channel to transport the liquid stored on the base 10 to a preset position; in some examples, the outer side of the base 10 has a device for storing liquid, and the second water supply circuit 13 can be used to form a channel to allow the liquid outside the base 10 to flow to the preset position via the second water supply circuit 13. Optionally, when the wet cleaner is installed on the base 10, the water supply inlet 131 can be connected to the wet cleaner so that the liquid in the wet cleaner enters the second water supply circuit 13 through the wastewater inlet 131.

[0087] Referring to Figure 18, in some examples, the base station 100 further includes a storage tank 257 for storing cleaning fluid. The storage tank 257 can be used to contain the cleaning fluid. In some examples, the cleaning fluid can be a high-concentration liquid with cleaning function. The cleaning fluid can be mixed with clean water to form a diluted solution, which can be used to clean a preset area. Optionally, the storage tank 257 can be connected to the water supply receiving port 131 of the second water supply circuit 13 to input cleaning fluid into the washing tank 101. Alternatively, the storage tank 257 can be connected to the cleaning device 20 when the cleaning device 200 is docked at the base 10 to replenish the cleaning device 200. In some examples, the storage tank 257 can share the same liquid path with the second clean water tank 40, and the cleaning fluid output from the storage tank 257 can be mixed with the clean water output from the second clean water tank 40 and then output to a preset location. Optionally, a water pump can be installed at the output end of the reservoir 257 to generate negative pressure at the outlet of the reservoir 257, thereby pumping the cleaning fluid from the reservoir 257 to a preset position. In some examples, the cleaning fluid may also be a liquid with cleaning function formed by foaming or dilution.

[0088] In some examples, the liquid reservoir 257 can be installed on the wet cleaner 20. When the wet cleaner 20 is installed on the base 10, the liquid reservoir 257 can be directly connected to the water supply inlet 131 of the base 10 so that the cleaning liquid can enter the second water supply circuit 13.

[0089] In some examples, a reservoir 257 may be mounted on the wet cleaner 20 to dispense cleaning fluid onto the surface to be cleaned. In some examples, the reservoir 257 may be equipped with a nozzle for spraying the cleaning fluid onto the surface to be cleaned.

[0090] Please refer to Figure 10 again. In some examples, a fan 18 is provided on the base 10, and an air duct is provided on the base 10 to connect to the washing tank 101. The air outlet side of the fan 18 is connected to the ventilation duct. The fan 18 can be used to deliver airflow to the washing tank 101 to dry the parts in the washing tank 101. The fan 18 can also be used to dry the wet cleaning parts of the cleaning equipment 200.

[0091] 216 drain valve.

[0092] Referring to Figures 12 to 17, in some examples, the drain three-way valve 216 forms a drain channel 2167, which can be used to supply sewage flow; the drain three-way valve 216 forms a drain outlet 2162 that communicates with the drain channel 2167, and the sewage in the drain channel 2167 can be discharged from the drain outlet 2162 to a preset position.

[0093] In some examples, the drain three-way valve 216 has a water inlet 2161a communicating with the drain channel 2167, which can be used to allow sewage to enter the drain channel 2167 so that the drain three-way valve 216 can be used to allow sewage flow. In some examples, the drain three-way valve 216 has a gas inlet 2161b communicating with the drain channel 2167, which can be used to allow gas to flow in the drain channel 2167.

[0094] In some examples, the three-way drain valve 216 can be used to connect to a drain power unit 215. The drain power unit 215 can create a negative pressure at the water inlet 2161a and / or the air inlet 2161b, thereby creating a negative pressure state at the components connected to the water inlet 2161a and / or the air inlet 2161b, and thus drawing the airflow at the corresponding components toward the drain valve 216. The drain valve 216 can be used only for sewage flow, in which case the water inlet 2161a is connected to the drain channel 2167, so that sewage is output to a preset position via the drain outlet 2162. The drain valve 216 can also be used only for gas flow, in which case the air inlet 2161b is connected to the drain channel 2167, so that gasflow is output to a preset position via the drain outlet 2162. Optionally, by adjusting the opening of the drain three-way valve 216, both the water inlet 2161a and the air inlet 2161b can be connected to the drain channel 2167, so that the airflow and sewage can be simultaneously output to the preset position through the drain outlet 2162.

[0095] In some examples, the base station 100 includes the dust collection unit 14 described in any of the above examples, and the sewage discharge three-way valve 216 is used to generate negative pressure on the dust collection unit 14 and the second sewage circuit 12. In order to facilitate the cooperation between the sewage discharge power unit 215 and the dust collection unit 14 and the second sewage circuit 12, the base station 100 is optionally provided with the sewage discharge three-way valve 216. The air inlet 2161b and the water inlet 2161a of the sewage discharge three-way valve 216 can be used to connect one-to-one with the air outlet port 142 and the sewage adapter 122, respectively, and the sewage discharge outlet 2162 can be connected to the inlet of the sewage discharge power unit 215. When the sewage discharge power unit 215 is started, the sewage discharge power unit 215, sewage discharge channel 2167, air inlet 216b, and dust collection unit 14 can form an air passage, creating a negative pressure within the dust collection unit 14. When the cleaning equipment 200 is docked on the base 10, solid impurities in the dust collection box of the cleaning equipment 200 can be sucked into the dust collection unit 14. The sewage discharge power unit 215, sewage discharge channel 2167, water inlet 2161a, and second sewage circuit 12 can also form a water passage, creating a negative pressure within the second sewage circuit 12. Water in the base 10 can be extracted through the second sewage circuit 12. When the cleaning equipment 200 is docked on the base 10, temporarily stored sewage in the cleaning equipment 200 can also be extracted through the second sewage circuit 12. In this example, only the air passage or water passage mentioned above can be opened, or the sewage discharge power unit 215 can be simultaneously connected to the water inlet 2161a and the air inlet 2161b to simultaneously extract solid impurities and sewage.

[0096] In some examples, the drain three-way valve 216 includes a drain valve body 2166 and a drain valve core 2163. The drain valve body 2166 has a drain channel 2167 as described in the above examples and a drain outlet 2162, a water inlet 2161a and a gas inlet 2161b respectively connected to the drain channel 2167.

[0097] The main body 2166 of the drain valve is at least partially hollow to form a drain channel 2167, a drain outlet 2162, a water inlet 2161a, and a gas inlet 2161b. In this example, the main body 2166 of the drain valve can be T-shaped as a whole, and the drain outlet 2162 of the main body 2166 can be directly connected to the inlet of the drain power unit 215.

[0098] The drain valve core 2163 is connected to the drain valve body 2166 and is at least partially located within the drain channel 2167. The drain three-way valve 216 has a first connection position connecting the second sewage circuit 12 and the drain power unit 215, and a second connection position connecting the dust collection box 230 and the drain power unit 215. The drain valve core 2163 is movably connected to the drain valve body 2166 between the first and second connection positions. The drain valve core 2163 has a through hole 2164, one end of which connects to the drain outlet 2162. When the drain valve core 2163 moves within the drain valve body 2166, the position of the through hole 2164 changes synchronously. When the through hole 2164 connects the drain outlet 2162 and the water inlet 2161a of the sewage adapter 122, the drain three-way valve 216 can connect the sewage adapter 122 and the drain power unit 215 to each other. The sewage discharge power unit 215 can be used to extract sewage from the sewage container 210 of the washing tank 101 or the cleaning equipment 200; when the through hole 2164 connects the sewage discharge outlet 2162 and the air inlet 2161b of the connecting air outlet port 142, the sewage discharge three-way valve 216 connects the air outlet port 142 and the sewage discharge power unit 215 to each other, and the sewage discharge power unit 215 can be used to suck the dust in the dust collection box 230 of the cleaning equipment 200 into the dust collection section 14.

[0099] Please refer to Figures 16 to 18. In some examples, a drive module 217 is provided on the drain valve body 2166. The output end of the drive module 217 is driven to the drain valve core 2163. The drive module 217 is used to drive the drain valve core 2163 to move between the first connection position and the second connection position, so that the other end of the through hole 2164 is selectively connected to one of the water inlet 2161a and the air inlet 2161b. The drive module 217 is used to drive the drain valve core 2163 to move relative to the drain valve body 2166. In this example, the drain valve core 2163 can move linearly, rotate, or a combination of linear and rotation relative to the drain valve body 2166. When the drain valve core 2163 moves relative to the drain valve body 2166, the position of the through hole also changes synchronously, thereby allowing the drain valve core 2163 to switch between the first connection position and the second connection position. Optionally, the drive module 217 can be a motor or other device capable of driving the drain valve core 2163 to move according to a preset trajectory and preset stroke.

[0100] Referring to Figures 17 and 18, in some examples, the drain three-way valve 216 further includes a detection device 218 connected to the drain valve body 2166 for detecting the position signal of the drain valve core 2163. The detection device 218 can be used to detect the position of the drain valve core 2163 to determine whether it is in the first connection position or the second connection position. Optionally, the position signal of the drain valve core 2163 acquired by the detection device 218 can be a high or low level signal. In this example, the detection device 218 can be a contact detection component or a non-contact detection component.

[0101] In some examples, the detection device 218 is a photoelectric detection device 218, which can be a transmissive, reflective, distance-set, or gloss-reflective photoelectric detection device. Optionally, the detection device 218 can also be a combination of multiple photoelectric detection components. In some examples, the detection device 218 includes a first transceiver 2181, a second transceiver 2182, and a light-shielding plate 2183; the first transceiver 2181 can be used to emit photoelectric signals, and the second transceiver 2182 can be used to receive photoelectric signals emitted by the first transceiver 2181. When the light-shielding plate 2183 blocks the optical path between the first transceiver 2181 and the second transceiver 2182, the second transceiver 2182 cannot receive the photoelectric signal.

[0102] A light-shielding plate 2183 is connected to the output end of the drain valve core 2163 or the drive module 217. When the drain valve core 2163 is in the first connection position, the light-shielding plate 2183 blocks the optical path between the first transceiver 2181 and the second transceiver 2182. When the drain valve core 2163 is in the second connection position, the optical path between the light-shielding plate 2183 and the first transceiver 2181 and the second transceiver 2182 is spaced apart. The output end of the drive module 217 is connected to the drain valve core 2163. When the drive module 217 drives the drain valve core 2163 to move, the light-shielding plate 2183 can move synchronously. When the drain valve core 2163 is in the first connection position, the photoelectric signal emitted by the first transceiver 2181 to the second transceiver 2182 is blocked by the light shield 2183, and the second transceiver 2182 cannot receive the photoelectric signal. When the drive module 217 drives the drain valve core 2163 to move to the second connection position, the light shield 2183 moves synchronously, and the light shield 2183 can be removed from the optical path between the first transceiver 2181 and the second transceiver 2182, so that the second transceiver 2182 can receive the photoelectric signal emitted by the first transceiver 2181. In this example, the main control board 28 determines whether the drain valve core 2163 is currently in the first connection position or the second connection position by receiving the photoelectric signal from the detection device 218, and then controls the operating parameters of the drive module 217 as needed.

[0103] It is understandable that the first transceiver 2181 and the second transceiver 2182 can also be installed at the output end of the drive module 217 or the drain valve core 2163, and the light shield 2183 can be installed on the drain valve body 2166, so that when the drive module 217 can drive the drain valve core 2163 to move between the first connection position and the second connection position, the light shield 2183 can block the optical path between the first transceiver 2181 and the second transceiver 2182.

[0104] Wet cleaner 20.

[0105] Please refer to Figures 8 and 10. The wet cleaner 20 is detachably mounted on the base 10 and is used to clean the surface to be cleaned.

[0106] The wet cleaner 20 can be used to clean surfaces such as floors, carpets, sofas, and mattresses. The wet cleaner 20 is detachably mounted on the base 10, meaning it can be removed from the base 10 for individual cleaning of the surface, or it can be mounted on the base 10. Referring to Figure 10, the base 10 in this example serves as a support structure for the wet cleaner 20. Optionally, the base 10 also includes a power supply module 15; the wet cleaner 20 also includes a second power module 26, which can also be used to charge the wet cleaner 20 when it is mounted on the base 10. The second power module 26 can be a battery module with charging and discharging capabilities; in this example, the power supply module 15 can charge the second power module 26 via wired or wireless charging.

[0107] In some examples, the wet cleaner 20 also includes an external power cord, which can be used to connect to mains power or to charge the second power module 26.

[0108] Referring to Figures 10 to 12, in some examples, the second power module 26 includes a main control board 28, which can be used to control the operating state of the wet cleaner 20. The main control board 28 can be a circuit board or an integrated board. An electrical control box 281 for accommodating the main control board 28 can be provided inside the housing 29.

[0109] In some examples, the wet cleaner 20 can be a fabric cleaner, which can be used to clean fabric surfaces. The fabric cleaner can have a washing function, and it can also have at least one of the following functions: negative pressure suction and drying.

[0110] Referring to Figures 4 and 5, in some examples, the wet cleaner 20 is provided with a wastewater interface 272 for connecting to the wastewater adapter 122. When the wet cleaner 20 includes the aforementioned housing 29, the wastewater interface 272 can be provided on the housing 29.

[0111] Cleaner 24.

[0112] Referring to Figure 8, in some examples, the wet cleaner includes a washer 24, which can be used to clean the surface to be cleaned.

[0113] In some examples, the cleaner 24 also includes a first wastewater circuit 242, which can be connected to the cleaner 24 and used to pump wastewater from the surface to be cleaned. In this example, clean water, cleaning fluid, or a mixture of clean water and cleaning fluid can be sprayed onto the surface to be cleaned beforehand. When the cleaner 24 cleans the surface, wastewater is generated. The inlet of the first wastewater circuit 242 can be located close to the cleaner 24 to pump the wastewater generated at the cleaner 24 to a preset location. The first wastewater circuit 242 can be a water flow channel formed by a flexible hose, or it can be a channel composed of a combination of a flexible hose and a rigid tubular structure.

[0114] The cleaner 24 in this application example may have a brush head 241; the brush head 241 can be used to scrub the surface to be cleaned. The brush head 241 may be a bristle brush, a rubber brush, or a combination of a bristle brush and a rubber brush.

[0115] In some examples, the sewage discharge power unit 215 is connected to the end of the first sewage circuit 242 away from the brush head 241. When the sewage discharge power unit 215 is activated, it can create a negative pressure in the first sewage circuit 242 to draw sewage from the brush head 241 to a preset position. In this example, the base 10 can be used only to provide the second sewage circuit 12. When the cleaning device 200 is docked to the base 10, the sewage does not need to be stored in the base 10 when drawing sewage from the sewage container 210 of the cleaning device 200. This simplifies the structure of the base 10, reduces the accumulation of dirt in the base 10, and helps improve the hygienic performance of the base 10.

[0116] First sewage tank 21.

[0117] Referring to Figures 20 to 22, the first wastewater tank 21 can be used to contain wastewater. The first wastewater tank 21 has a wastewater cavity 219 and a wastewater inlet 211 and an air outlet 214 communicating with the wastewater cavity 219. The first wastewater tank 21 can serve as a mechanism for storing wastewater on the wet scrubber 20. The first wastewater tank 21 is at least partially hollow to form the wastewater cavity 219 for storing wastewater. The first wastewater tank 21 also has a wastewater inlet 211 and an air outlet 214 communicating with the wastewater cavity 219, wherein the wastewater inlet 211 is used to allow wastewater to enter the wastewater cavity 219, and the air outlet 214 is used to connect to an external negative pressure device.

[0118] Referring to Figures 11 to 15, in this example, the air outlet 214 can be used to connect to the sewage discharge power unit 215, which is used to generate negative pressure in the sewage chamber 219. Optionally, the wet cleaner 20 is equipped with a sewage discharge three-way valve 216 as described in any of the above examples, and the water inlet 2161a of the sewage discharge three-way valve 216 is connected to the sewage inlet 211.

[0119] Referring to Figures 20 to 23, in some examples, the wet cleaner 20 also includes a wastewater tee pipe 212. The wastewater tee pipe 212 has a wastewater flow channel. A first wastewater inlet 2122, a second wastewater inlet 2123, and an outlet 2121 are openings on the wastewater tee pipe 212 that connect to the wastewater flow channel. Wastewater can enter the wastewater flow channel through the first wastewater inlet 2122 or the second wastewater inlet 2123 and exit through the outlet 2121. In this example, the outlet 2121 is connected to the wastewater inlet 211 of the first wastewater tank 21, allowing wastewater input through the first wastewater inlet 2122 or the second wastewater inlet 2123 to enter the wastewater cavity 219. In this example, the first wastewater inlet 2122 is connected to the first wastewater circuit 242, allowing wastewater generated when the cleaner 24 cleans the surface to be cleaned to enter the wastewater cavity 219 via the first wastewater circuit 242 and the first wastewater inlet 2122. When the wet cleaner 20 is installed on the base 10, the second wastewater interface 2123 can be connected to the wastewater adapter 122. When the cleaning equipment 200 is connected to the base 10, the wastewater in the washing tank 101 and / or the cleaning equipment 200 can enter the second wastewater interface 2123 through the second wastewater circuit 12.

[0120] Referring to Figures 22 and 23, in some examples, the wet cleaner 20 also includes a wastewater control valve 213, at least partially disposed within the wastewater flow channel of the wastewater tee 212. The wastewater control valve 213 controls the connection of one of the first wastewater inlet 2122 and the second wastewater inlet 2123 to the outlet 2121. Optionally, when the wet cleaner 20 is used alone, the wastewater control valve 213 can control the connection of the first wastewater inlet 2122 to the outlet 2121; when the wet cleaner 20 is mounted on the base 10, the wastewater control valve 213 can control the connection of the second wastewater inlet 2123 to the outlet 2121.

[0121] Please refer to Figures 22 and 23. In some examples, the wet cleaner 20 includes a wastewater three-way valve 2110 with an outlet 2121 that can be connected to the wastewater inlet 211 of the first wastewater tank 21.

[0122] In some examples, the wet cleaner 20 is equipped with a drain three-way valve 216, which has a drain channel 2167 and a drain outlet 2162, a water inlet 2161a, and an air inlet 2161b respectively connected to the drain channel 2167.

The air inlet 2161b of the drain three-way valve 216 is connected to the air outlet 214 of the first sewage tank 21. The water inlet 2161a of the drain three-way valve 216 is used to connect to the air outlet 142 when the wet cleaner 20 is installed on the base 10. The drain three-way valve 216 has a first connection position connecting the first sewage tank 21 and the drain power unit 215 and a second connection position connecting the dust collection unit 14 and the drain power unit 215.

[0123] The drain outlet 2162 of the three-way drain valve 216 is connected to the inlet of the drain power unit 215; the water inlet 2161a is connected to the air outlet 214 so that a negative pressure can be formed in the sewage chamber 219 when the drain power unit 215 is started; when the wet cleaner 20 is installed on the base 10, the air inlet 2161b is connected to the air outlet 142 so that a negative pressure can be formed in the dust collection chamber 143 when the drain power unit 215 is started. Optionally, when the base 10 is provided with a dust exhaust duct 144 connected to the air outlet 142, the air inlet 2161b of the three-way drain valve 216 can be used to connect to the duct port 192. The three-way drain valve 216 has a first connection position and a second connection position. When the three-way drain valve 216 is in the first connection position, the first sewage tank 21 and the drain power unit 215 are interconnected, so that when the drain power unit 215 is started, a negative pressure state can be formed in the first sewage tank 21, allowing sewage to enter the sewage chamber 219 through the sewage inlet 211. When the three-way drain valve 216 is in the second connection position, the dust collection box 230 can be connected to the drain power unit 215, so that when the drain power unit 215 is started, a negative pressure state can be formed in the dust collection chamber 143, allowing dust in the dust collection box 230 of the cleaning equipment 200 to enter the dust collection chamber 143 through the air inlet 141. Optionally, the drain power unit 215 can be a dry / wet dual-purpose fan.

[0124] In some examples, the wet cleaner 20 is provided with an air duct interface 274 for docking with the air duct port 192. The air duct interface 274 can be connected to the drain valve body 2166 via the suction pipe 291. Optionally, the air duct interface 274 can be provided on the housing 29 in any of the above examples.

[0125] When the drain valve core 2163 is in the first connection position, the through hole 2164 connects the drain outlet 2162 and the water inlet 2161a. At this time, the drain power unit 215 can connect to the first sewage tank 21 so that the first sewage tank 21 can be in a negative pressure state when needed. When the drain valve core 2163 is in the second connection position, the through hole 2164 connects the drain outlet 2162 and the air inlet 2161b so that when the wet cleaner 20 is installed on the base 10, the drain power unit 215 can be used to connect to the dust collection unit 14. In some examples, the wet cleaner 20 includes the first sewage tank 21 as described in any of the above examples; the base 10 is provided with a dust collection unit 14, which has an air inlet port 141 and an air outlet port 142; the base 10 is also provided with a second sewage circuit 12 as described in any of the above examples, as well as a sewage receiving port 121 and a sewage transfer port 122 connecting the second sewage circuit 12. The base station 100 also includes the sewage discharge power unit 215 and the sewage discharge three-way valve 216 described in any of the above examples. The water inlet 2161a of the sewage discharge three-way valve 216 can be connected to the air outlet 214 of the first sewage tank 21, the air inlet 2161b can be used to connect to the air outlet 142, and the sewage discharge outlet 2162 can be connected to the inlet of the sewage discharge power unit 215. A sewage tee pipe 212 is provided on the sewage inlet 211 of the first sewage tank 21. The sewage tee pipe 212 has a sewage flow channel. The first sewage interface 2122, the second sewage interface 2123, and the outlet 2121 are openings on the sewage tee pipe 212 that connect to the sewage flow channel. Sewage can enter the sewage flow channel through the first sewage interface 2122 or the second sewage interface 2123 and be discharged through the outlet 2121. The outlet 2121 of the sewage tee pipe 212 is connected to the sewage inlet 211 of the first sewage tank 21 so that the sewage input through the first sewage interface 2122 or the second sewage interface 2123 can enter the sewage cavity 219. The first wastewater inlet 2122 is connected to the first wastewater circuit 242 so that the wastewater generated when the cleaner 24 cleans the surface to be cleaned can enter the wastewater chamber 219 through the first wastewater circuit 242 and the first wastewater inlet 2122. When the wet cleaner 20 is installed on the base 10, the second wastewater inlet 2123 can be connected to the wastewater adapter 122. When the cleaning device 200 is connected to the base 10, the wastewater in the cleaning device 200 can enter the second wastewater inlet 2123 through the second wastewater circuit 12 and enter the first wastewater tank 21 for storage.

[0126] In this example, a single sewage discharge power unit 215 can be used for the sewage container 210 of the cleaning equipment 200, the first sewage circuit 242, and the sewage discharge of the dust collection box 230 of the cleaning equipment 200. By switching the airflow path, the sewage discharge power unit 215 can be used for three different functions of the base station 100, which can reduce the number of drive components on the base station 100, effectively simplify the structure of the base station 100, help reduce the size of the base station 100, and improve the space utilization of the base station 100.

[0127] In some examples, the wet cleaner 20 also includes a main control board 28, a sewage discharge power unit 215 and a detection device 218, which are electrically connected to the main control board 28, and the main control board 28 is used to control the operation of the drive module 217 according to the position signal.

[0128] The main control board 28 is electrically connected to both the detection device 218 and the sewage discharge power unit 215, meaning that the main control board 28 can transmit electrical signals to both the detection device 218 and the sewage discharge power unit 215. The main control board 28 is used to control the operation of the sewage discharge power unit 215 based on the position signal detected by the detection device 218, including controlling parameters such as the start-up, stop-up, start-up duration, and operating power of the sewage discharge power unit 215. In this example, when the detection device 218 detects that the drain valve core 2163 is in the first connection position, the main control board 28 can control the opening time, working time, and operating power of the drain power device 215 so that the drain power device 215 can generate a negative pressure suction effect on the first sewage tank 21 and pump sewage into the first sewage tank 21. When the detection device 218 detects that the drain valve core 2163 is in the second connection position, the main control board 28 can control the opening time, working time, and operating power of the drain power device 215 so that the drain power device 215 can generate a negative pressure suction effect on the dust collection section 14.

[0177] Please refer to Figure 30. This application also proposes a base station operation method, including the following steps:

[0178] S100: Detects the connection status between the handheld cleaner and the base 10.

[0179] When the handheld cleaner is mounted on the base 10, the handheld cleaner and the base 10 are in contact. In this example, the connection status between the handheld cleaner and the base 10 can be detected by pressure detection, photoelectric detection, or other methods. Pressure detection refers to the handheld cleaner applying pressure to a preset location on the base 10 when mounted on it; the connection status can be determined by detecting changes in pressure at this preset location. Photoelectric detection refers to detecting whether the handheld cleaner is connected to the base 10 using infrared, laser, or other photoelectric methods.

[0180] S200: With the handheld cleaner detached from the base 10, the handheld cleaner is controlled to perform cleaning operations according to the start command. When the handheld cleaner is detached from the base 10, it can be removed and used to clean the surface to be cleaned. The start command can be a control command input via a button or operation panel on the handheld cleaner to put it into working condition.

[0181] S300: When the handheld cleaner is connected to the base 10, the cleaning device 200 performs a retrieval operation according to the job request sent by the cleaning device 200.

[0182] When the handheld cleaner is connected to the base 10, the handheld cleaner is mounted on the base 10. The cleaning device 200 can send a work request to the base 10 to perform a retrieval operation. The work request sent by the cleaning device 200 may include the power signal and water level signal of the cleaning device 200. Taking the power signal of the cleaning device 200 as an example, when the power of the cleaning device 200 is lower than a preset power value, the cleaning device 200 can send a work request to the base 10. The base 10 receives the work request, and the cleaning device 200 moves towards the base 10, thereby enabling the cleaning device 200 to connect to a preset position on the base 10 and complete the retrieval operation. In this example, after the cleaning device 200 is retrieved to the base 10, it can be charged using a handheld cleaner, or its components such as the cleaning cloth can be cleaned using the base 10, or wastewater and dust stored on the cleaning device 200 can be discharged, or clean water can be added to the cleaning device 200. Charging the cleaning device 200 can include charging it via the power supply component of the handheld cleaner, or it can include charging it via the base 10. When charging the cleaning device 200 via the power supply component of the handheld cleaner, the handheld cleaner can directly connect to the cleaning device 200 to complete the charging operation, or it can connect to the cleaning device 200 via the base 10 to complete the charging operation.

[0183] Please refer to Figure 31. In some examples, step S200 above, controlling the handheld cleaner to perform the cleaning operation includes the following steps:

[0184] S210: Controls the water treatment module's three-way valve to connect the water tank to the fabric water pipe.

[0185] When the three-way valve connects the clean water tank and the fabric clean water pipe, the clean water in the tank can flow through the fabric clean water pipe toward the surface to be cleaned, thus allowing the handheld cleaner to be used to wet and clean the surface.

[0186] S220: The air and dust passage tee unit of the wastewater recovery module connects the wastewater collection pipe to the suction unit.

[0187] When the air-dust-channel three-way unit is connected to the sewage collection pipe, the suction unit can be used to create negative pressure to draw the sewage from the surface to be cleaned into the sewage collection pipe for recycling.

[0188] S230: Controls the cleaning execution module to perform fabric cleaning.

[0189] The cleaning module cleans the wetted fabric surface, and the wastewater generated on the fabric surface can be sucked into the collection pipe under suction. During the cleaning process, the fabric surface can be brushed with components such as brushes to accelerate the removal of stains. Steps S210 and S220 in this application example can be interchanged. Step S210 can be used to wet the fabric to make it easier for stains to be removed from the fabric surface; in step S220, the stains and wastewater on the fabric surface can be recovered together by negative pressure adsorption, which can clean the fabric surface on the one hand and accelerate the drying speed on the other.

[0190] In some examples, during step S230, when the cleaning execution module is controlling the fabric cleaning process, the suction unit is controlled to operate at a first suction level to collect dirt. The suction unit generates negative pressure on the dirt collection pipe. In this example, by controlling the suction unit to the first suction level, the force exerted on the fabric surface during the cleaning process can be easily controlled, reducing damage to the fabric surface during negative pressure adsorption.

[0191] Referring to Figure 32, in some examples, in step S300 above, performing the cleaning equipment 200 recycling operation according to the job request sent by the cleaning equipment 200 includes the following steps:

[0192] S310: The three-way valve of the water treatment module controls the connection between the water tank and the water pipe of the cleaning equipment.

[0193] When the clean water three-way valve is connected to the clean water tank and the clean water pipe of the cleaning equipment, the water in the clean water tank can flow to the cleaning equipment 200 through the clean water three-way valve, thereby replenishing the cleaning equipment 200 with water.

[0194] S320: The air and dust passage tee unit of the wastewater recovery module connects the dust collection pipe to the suction unit.

[0195] When the air-dust duct three-way unit connects the dust collection pipe and the suction unit, the suction unit can generate negative pressure on the dust collection pipe, thereby sucking out dust and other impurities from the cleaning equipment 200. Optionally, the order of steps S310 and S320 in this example can be interchanged, or they can be performed simultaneously.

[0196] In some examples, upon receiving a dust collection request from the cleaning device 200, the suction unit is controlled to operate at a second suction power, which is greater than the first suction power. The cleaning device 200 can send an electrical signal to the base 10. After the cleaning device 200 docks with the base 10, it can generate negative pressure through the suction unit to negatively draw out dust and other impurities from the dust collection section 14 of the cleaning device 200. In this example, when the suction unit is used to draw out dust and other impurities from the dust collection section 14, the suction unit operates at a second suction power, which is greater than the first suction power, so that the cleaning device 200 can generate a greater negative pressure on the dust collection section 14, thereby improving the dust extraction efficiency.

[0197] In some examples, the base station operation method further includes determining the presence status of the cleaning device 200 based on the charging current of the cleaning device 200 and / or the presence detection signal sent by the cleaning device presence detection unit in the base 10. In this example, it can be determined whether the cleaning device 200 has reached the preset position of the base 10 by at least one of the charging current of the cleaning device 200 and the presence detection signal of the cleaning device presence detection unit. The cleaning device 200 has a first power module 240, and the charging current of the cleaning device 200 can be the charging current signal of the first power module 240 of the cleaning device 200. In this example, when the cleaning device 200 is retracted to the base 10, the cleaning device 200 docks with the base 10 or a handheld cleaner, so that the handheld cleaner charges the cleaning device 200, and it can be determined whether the cleaning device 200 is currently in the preset position by detecting the charging current signal. The presence detection signal of the cleaning device 200 can be a pressure signal, a photoelectric signal, or other signals. In this example, it can be checked whether the cleaning device 200 has reached the preset position of the base 10 by using devices such as pressure sensors and photoelectric sensors.
