[0036] Intelligent home appliances, especially cleaning robots, are currently a hot topic. To meet user needs, current cleaning robots can not only perform cleaning but also work in conjunction with a matching base station to clean the robot.

[0037] However, when the base station cleans the cleaning unit of the cleaning robot, it is also necessary to determine the cleanliness of the cleaning unit in order to improve cleaning efficiency and enhance user experience.

[0038] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this disclosure provides a base station for a cleaning device and a cleaning system.

[0039] The base station for the cleaning equipment disclosed herein includes: a cleaning tank for cleaning the cleaning unit of the cleaning equipment; a suction pipe including a suction port and a discharge port, the suction port being located in the cleaning tank and the discharge port being connected to the inlet of a wastewater tank; and a wastewater detection device disposed on the wastewater flow path, the wastewater detection device being used to detect the cleanliness level of the wastewater.

[0040] According to this disclosure, wastewater in the cleaning tank is sucked out and discharged by a suction pipe, and a wastewater detection device is installed along the wastewater flow path to detect the cleanliness of the wastewater. It can be seen that in this disclosure, the wastewater detection device can detect the cleanliness of the wastewater along the flow path, thereby obtaining a more accurate determination of the cleanliness of the wastewater in the cleaning tank. Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a cleaning system provided in some embodiments of this disclosure; Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a cleaning system provided in some embodiments of this disclosure; Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a cleaning device provided in some embodiments of this disclosure.

[0041] As shown in Figures 1 to 3, the base station 10 of the cleaning equipment of this disclosure can form a cleaning system 1 with the cleaning equipment 20. The cleaning equipment 20 can be used for cleaning, such as sweeping, mopping, or a combined sweeping and mopping. The cleaning equipment 20 may include a cleaning unit, which may be a sweeping brush, a mop, etc. As shown in Figure 3, the mop can generally be installed at the bottom of the cleaning equipment 20, for example, it can be detachably installed on the mounting part 21. The detachable installation of the mop allows it to be replaced after damage, wear and tear, or soiling.

[0042] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the base station 10 of the cleaning equipment may include a cleaning tank 11, a suction pipe 12, and a wastewater detection device 13. The cleaning tank 11 may be located on the base station body and is used to clean the cleaning unit of the cleaning equipment 20, typically located at the lower part of the base station 10. After the cleaning equipment 20 completes its cleaning operation, it returns to the base station 10, and the mop can enter the cleaning tank 11 for cleaning.

[0043] Figure 4 is a perspective structural diagram of a base station of a cleaning device provided in some embodiments of this disclosure. As shown in Figure 4, the base station 10 of the cleaning device may include a clean water tank and a wastewater tank, which can be respectively installed in the first receiving portion 110 and the second receiving portion 120 of the base station 10. The wastewater tank can be detachably disposed in the second receiving portion 120 of the base station body to facilitate removal of the wastewater tank for cleaning or wastewater discharge. In some embodiments, the wastewater tank can also be connected to a drainage pipe, allowing wastewater to be discharged directly without removing the wastewater tank.

[0044] Figure 5 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a suction pipe and a sewage detection device provided in some embodiments of this disclosure. As shown in Figures 4 and 5, the base station 10 may include a suction pipe 12, which may include a suction port 122, a discharge port 123, and a water storage section. The suction port 122 and the discharge port 123 may be located at opposite ends of the suction pipe 12. The suction port 122 may be located in the cleaning tank 11, and sewage in the cleaning tank 11 may enter the suction pipe 12 through the suction port 122. Sewage enters the suction pipe 12 through the suction port 122 and is then discharged from the discharge port 123. For example, the discharge port 123 may be connected to the inlet of a sewage tank, so that sewage in the cleaning tank 11 may be discharged into the sewage tank through the suction pipe 12.

[0045] In this disclosure, the path of wastewater flowing from the cleaning tank 11 through the suction port 122 to the discharge port 123 can be the wastewater flow path. The wastewater detection device 13 can be installed on the wastewater flow path.

[0046] In this disclosure, the base station 10 may be equipped with a drive device for discharging wastewater from the cleaning tank into a wastewater tank through the suction pipe 12. The drive device may be a motor, a water pump, etc.

[0047] In this disclosure, the wastewater flow path may include a water storage section, for example, located between the suction port 122 and the discharge port 123. During the process of wastewater discharge from the suction pipe 12, some wastewater will remain in the water storage section, allowing it to hold wastewater for a relatively longer period compared to other locations. The wastewater detection device 13 can be positioned at the water storage section, which provides sufficient detection time for the device and improves the accuracy of the detection results.

[0048] In some exemplary embodiments, the wastewater detection device 13 may be disposed on the base station body. For example, as shown in FIG4, the wastewater detection device 13 may be located on the side 102 of the base station 10. Specifically, the base station 10 may include a bottom wall 101 and a side wall 102. The bottom wall 101 may be the portion of the base station 10 that is in contact with the ground when the base station 10 is in the installed state. The side wall 102 of the base station 10 may be the side that intersects with the bottom wall 101.

[0049] In some exemplary embodiments, the wastewater detection device 13 may be located on the side of the suction pipe 12, thereby detecting the cleanliness of the wastewater inside the suction pipe 12. By detecting the cleanliness of the wastewater inside the suction pipe 12, the cleanliness of the wastewater in the cleaning tank 11 can be determined. Thus, the cleanliness of the mop can be determined by the wastewater detection device 13, and based on the cleanliness of the mop, the wastewater detection device 13 can further control whether to continue cleaning the mop.

[0050] In this disclosure, the wastewater detection device 13 can also be connected in series with the suction pipe 12, thus dividing the suction pipe into two sections. Based on the wastewater flow path, these two sections can be divided into an upstream section and a downstream section. With this configuration, wastewater must pass through the wastewater detection device 13 after flowing from the suction pipe 12, allowing the device to promptly obtain the cleanliness level of the wastewater within the suction pipe 12. Since the wastewater in the suction pipe 12 has not yet been discharged or entered into the wastewater tank, the cleanliness level of the wastewater in the suction pipe 12 can accurately reflect the cleanliness level of the wastewater in the cleaning tank 11.

[0051] In this disclosure, the wastewater detection device 13 can also be connected in series downstream of the suction pipe 12. Thus, wastewater discharged through the suction pipe 12 can pass through the wastewater detection device 13 before being discharged or discharged into a wastewater tank. With this arrangement, the cleanliness of the wastewater downstream of the suction pipe 12 can be detected, thereby providing information on both the cleanliness of the wastewater in the cleaning tank 11 and the cleanliness of the wastewater before discharge or before entering the wastewater tank.

[0052] In this disclosure, the suction pipe may include a bend, which slows down the flow rate of sewage as it passes through the suction pipe. The sewage detection device is located on the side of the suction pipe or connected in series with the suction pipe, and the detection results can be more accurate.

[0053] In some embodiments, the base station 10 may include a control module (not shown), which can be communicatively connected to the wastewater detection device 13. The wastewater detection device 13 can transmit clean data of the wastewater to the control module, which can then determine whether to continue cleaning the mop. Due to this precise control, the base station 10 can control whether to continue or stop cleaning the mop based on the cleanliness of the wastewater in the suction pipe 12. This setup ensures the mop is cleaned thoroughly when it is dirty, and reduces the frequency of mop cleaning when it is relatively clean, thus reducing water waste. In summary, it can be seen that the base station of this disclosure controls the cleaning unit of the cleaning equipment, improving cleaning efficiency, enhancing user experience, and significantly conserving water resources.

[0054] In some exemplary embodiments, the wastewater detection device 13 can be fitted onto the outer wall of the suction pipe 12. This arrangement reduces the distance between the wastewater detection device 13 and the suction pipe 12, which is beneficial for the accurate detection of wastewater by the device 13.

[0055] In some exemplary embodiments, the suction pipe 12 may include a light-transmitting portion, and the wastewater detection device 13 may be located on one side of the light-transmitting portion. The wastewater detection device 13 may include a light-emitting module and a detection module, the detection module including a turbidity sensor and / or a total dissolved solids sensor. However, this disclosure is not limited to detecting the cleanliness of wastewater by means of light; in some embodiments, the wastewater detection device 13 may be a device that detects wastewater using other methods.

[0056] In some exemplary embodiments, as shown in FIG5, the bend 121 may be located between the suction port 122 and the discharge port 123. The wastewater detection device 13 may be located on the side between the bend 121 and the discharge port 123 of the suction pipe 12. The wastewater flows from the cleaning tank 11 through the suction port 122 into the suction pipe 12, and then discharges into the wastewater tank 15 through the discharge port 123 of the suction pipe 12. It can be seen that in the wastewater flow path, the detection position of the wastewater detection device 13 is after the bend 121.

[0057] In this disclosure, the bend 121 may include a higher pipe section, which is a segment of the bend 121 that is relatively higher than other parts in the gravity direction x. The highest point of the higher pipe section is set to be no higher than the height of the sewage outlet. The sewage detection device 13 can be located downstream of the higher pipe section, and the position of the sewage detection device 13 in the gravity direction x is no higher than the position of the higher pipe section. This arrangement ensures that the water storage area where the sewage detection device is located is always filled with sewage, and that there are no air bubbles in the sewage, thus preventing false detections by the sewage detection device.

[0058] In this disclosure, the wastewater detection device 13 can be installed in a horizontal section or an ascending section downstream of an elevated pipe section along the wastewater flow path. For example, the elevated pipe section may include a horizontally extending section called a horizontal section, or it may include a section extending upward in the gravity direction x called an ascending section. The ascending section can be formed as an ascending section that rises vertically along the gravity direction x, or it can be formed as an ascending section that rises at a certain inclination relative to the gravity direction x.

[0059] In some exemplary embodiments, as shown in Figures 5 to 8, the position of the wastewater detection device 13 in the gravity direction x is no higher than the top A of the bend 121. The so-called top A can be the highest point of the bend 121, i.e., the highest point of the high-level pipe section. This arrangement ensures that the detection position of the wastewater detection device 13 is always filled with wastewater, and there are no air bubbles in the wastewater, preventing false detections and improving the detection accuracy of the wastewater detection device 13.

[0060] In some exemplary embodiments, as shown in Figures 5 and 8, the curved portion 121 may be configured to protrude upwards in the gravity direction x. This configuration can further slow down the flow rate of sewage, which is beneficial for improving the detection accuracy of the sewage detection device 13. However, this disclosure is not limited thereto; in some embodiments, the curved portion 121 may be configured to protrude in any direction.

[0061] However, the curved portion 121 of this disclosure is not limited to the above embodiments. As shown in Figures 6 and 7, the curved portion can also be curved downwards in the gravity direction x. As shown in Figure 8, multiple curved portions 121 can also be provided. Multiple curved portions 121 can be connected in sequence.

[0062] In some exemplary embodiments, as shown in FIG5, the suction pipe 12 may include a first pipe section 124 and a second pipe section 125. The upstream end of the first pipe section 124 serves as a suction port 122, and the downstream end of the second pipe section 125 serves as a discharge port 123. A bend 121 connects the first pipe section 124 and the second pipe section 125. The upstream end of the bend 121 is connected to the downstream end of the first pipe section 124, and the downstream end of the bend 121 is connected to the upstream end of the second pipe section 125. The wastewater detection device 13 may be disposed in the second pipe section 125 at a position no higher than the upper pipe section along the direction of gravity.

[0063] In this disclosure, the hardness of the second pipe segment 125 can be greater than the hardness of the bend 121, and the second pipe segment 125 can be fixed to the side of the base station body. For example, in some embodiments, the bend 121 can be a flexible hose, which facilitates the installation of the bend 121. Specifically, in terms of manufacturing process, ordinary flexible hoses can be directly purchased and bent during installation to adaptably form the bend, without the need for additional molds or production lines for forming the bend. Furthermore, the use of a flexible hose also helps to extend the service life of the suction pipe 12.

[0064] In this disclosure, as shown in FIG5, the first pipe segment 124 and the bend 121 can be integral. For example, the same flexible hose can be used to construct the first pipe segment 124 and the bend 121.

[0065] In some exemplary embodiments, the suction pipe 12 can be detachably installed on the base station body, and can be disassembled, replaced or cleaned after the suction pipe 12 has been used for a certain period of time.

[0066] In some exemplary embodiments, as shown in FIG4, the base station 10 may include a bracket 16, which can be used to support the bent portion 121. The bracket 16 facilitates maintaining the bent shape of the suction pipe 12 on the base station 10. That is, it facilitates the bending configuration of the bent portion 121.

[0067] As shown in Figure 4, the bracket 16 may include a first bracket 161 and a second bracket 162. The first bracket 161 and the second bracket 162 may be located on both sides of the curved portion 121 to support the curved portion 121. For example, the first bracket 161 may be located at the lower part of the curved portion 121 to support the curved portion 121, and the second bracket 162 may be located at the upper part of the curved portion 121, together with the first bracket 161, clamping the curved portion 121.

[0068] It should be noted that this disclosure is not limited to the embodiment shown in FIG4. In some embodiments, a bracket may be provided only at the lower part of the bent portion 121 or only at the upper part of the bent portion 121, as long as the bent portion 121 can be fixed.

[0069] In some exemplary embodiments, as shown in FIG4, the suction pipe 12 may extend along the outer wall of the sewage tank 15, the bend 121 may be located on the side of the sewage tank 15, and the sewage detection device 13 may be disposed on the outer wall of the sewage tank 15. For example, the sewage detection device 13 may be fixed to the outer wall of the sewage tank 15.

[0070] In some exemplary embodiments, the wastewater detection device 13 is disposed on the side of the base station body by means of screw connection, snap connection, bonding or clamping connection, etc., and this disclosure does not impose specific limitations. As shown in FIG5, the wastewater detection device 13 can be fixed by screws 14.

[0071] Based on the same concept, this disclosure also provides a cleaning system 1, as shown in Figures 1 and 2. The cleaning system may include a cleaning device 20 and a base station 10 for the cleaning device. The base station 10 for the cleaning device may be the base station 10 shown in the foregoing embodiments, and will not be described again here.

[0072] According to this disclosure, wastewater from the cleaning tank is sucked out by a suction pipe and then discharged into a wastewater tank. A wastewater detection device is installed on the base station body and is used to detect the cleanliness of the wastewater in the suction pipe. It is evident that in this disclosure, the wastewater detection device can detect the cleanliness of the wastewater before it enters the wastewater tank, thereby providing a more accurate assessment of the cleanliness of the wastewater in the cleaning tank.

[0073] In this disclosure, due to the bend in the pipe, the flow rate of wastewater slows down as it passes through the suction pipe, and the wastewater detection device is located on the side of the suction pipe, making the detection more accurate.

[0074] In some embodiments, the base station 10 may include a control module (not shown), which can be communicatively connected to the wastewater detection device 13. The wastewater detection device 13 can transmit clean data of the wastewater to the control module, which can then determine whether to continue cleaning the mop. Due to this precise control, the base station 10 can control whether to continue or stop cleaning the mop based on the cleanliness of the wastewater in the suction pipe 12. This setup ensures the mop is cleaned thoroughly when it is dirty, and reduces the frequency of mop cleaning when it is relatively clean, thus reducing water waste. In summary, it can be seen that the base station of this disclosure controls the cleaning unit of the cleaning equipment, improving cleaning efficiency, enhancing user experience, and significantly conserving water resources.

[0075] According to this disclosure, wastewater in the cleaning tank is sucked out and discharged by a suction pipe, and a wastewater detection device is installed in the wastewater flow path to detect the cleanliness of the wastewater. Therefore, in this disclosure, the wastewater detection device can detect the cleanliness of the wastewater in the flow path, thereby providing a more accurate assessment of the cleanliness of the wastewater in the cleaning tank.

[0076] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the technical solutions of this disclosure and are not intended to limit it. Although this disclosure has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein.
