[0002] This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202423297253.8, filed on December 30, 2024, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0003] This application relates to the field of home appliance technology, and in particular to a cleaning device and cleaning system. Background Technology

[0004] As people's living standards improve and technology and product performance continue to advance, home appliances can reduce household chores. For example, for tasks like mopping the floor that require a lot of physical labor, robotic mopping can automatically clean the areas to be cleaned, greatly saving on labor costs.

[0005] In related technologies, robotic vacuum cleaners use a rotating mop to mop the floor. As the robot moves, the rotating mop moves across the area to be cleaned, and its rotation improves cleaning efficiency. However, due to centrifugal force, water on the rotating mop is thrown to the outside and detaches from the mop, leaving more water stains on the area to be cleaned. This results in lower cleanliness and poor mopping performance. Summary of the Invention

[0037] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0038] It should be noted that when a component is referred to as being "fixed to" or "set on" another component, it can be directly on or indirectly on that other component. When a component is referred to as being "connected to" another component, it can be directly connected to or indirectly connected to that other component.

Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this application, "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0040] In this specification, references to "one embodiment," "some embodiments," or simply "embodiment" mean that one or more embodiments of this application include a specific feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with that embodiment. Therefore, the phrases "in one embodiment," "in some embodiments," "in other embodiments," "in still other embodiments," etc., appearing in different parts of this specification do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, but rather mean "one or more, but not all, embodiments," unless otherwise specifically emphasized. Furthermore, in one or more embodiments, specific features, structures, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner.

[0041] As people's living standards improve and technology and product performance continue to advance, home appliances can reduce household chores. For example, for tasks like mopping the floor that require a lot of physical labor, robotic mopping can automatically clean the areas to be cleaned, greatly saving on labor costs.

[0042] In related technologies, robotic vacuum cleaners use a rotating mop to mop the floor. As the robot moves, the rotating mop moves across the area to be cleaned, and its rotation improves cleaning efficiency. However, due to centrifugal force, water on the rotating mop is thrown to the outside and detaches from the mop, leaving more water stains on the area to be cleaned. This results in lower cleanliness and poor mopping performance.

[0043] In view of the above problems, this application provides a cleaning device and a cleaning system to solve the technical problem of poor mopping effect.

[0044] To illustrate the technical solution of this application, the following description is provided in conjunction with specific accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0045] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4. This application provides a cleaning device 1, which includes a rotary mop 11 and a wastewater recycling module 12.

[0046] The rotary mop 11 rotates around a first direction; the wastewater recycling module 12 includes a squeegee 12121 and a water collector 121 connected to each other. The squeegee 12121 contacts the rotary mop 11 and squeegees water off the rotary mop 11 when the rotary mop 11 rotates. The water collector 121 receives the water squeegee 12121.

[0047] It should be noted that the rotary mop 11 is disc-shaped, that is, a flat structure with a circular, elliptical, or polygonal shape, and has a cleaning surface 111 perpendicular to the first direction. The cleaning surface 111 is used to wipe the part to be cleaned. The cleaning device 1 has a water spraying component, which is used to provide water to the rotary mop 11 to wet the rotary mop 11, so that the dirt on the part to be cleaned in contact with the cleaning surface 111 can be wetted, so that the dirt is softened and can be wiped off the part to be cleaned by the cleaning surface 111.

[0048] When the cleaning device 1 of this application embodiment is working, the first direction X is usually parallel or approximately parallel to the vertical direction, and the cleaning surface 111 of the rotary mop 11 is parallel or approximately parallel to the horizontal plane. The water spraying assembly sprays water onto the inner ring of the rotary mop 11. When the rotary mop 11 rotates, under the action of centrifugal force, some of the water on the rotary mop 11 is thrown to the outer periphery of the rotary mop 11. When there is a lot of water accumulating on the outer periphery of the rotary mop 11, some of the water will detach from the outer periphery of the rotary mop 11 and fall onto the part to be cleaned under its own gravity, leaving more water stains on the part to be cleaned.

[0049] In the cleaning device 1 provided in this application embodiment, when the rotary mop 11 rotates, the squeegee 12121 can squeegee water off the rotary mop 11, causing the water collected on the outer periphery of the rotary mop 11 to be scraped off by the squeegee 12121, thus detaching the water from the rotary mop 11. The water collector 121 can receive the water scraped off by the squeegee 12121, preventing the water detached from the rotary mop 11 from falling onto the area to be cleaned, reducing water stains left by the rotary mop 11 on the area to be cleaned, improving the cleanliness of the area to be cleaned, and thus resulting in a better mopping effect.

[0050] It should be noted that when the cleaning device 1 wipes the area to be cleaned, the water scraped by the squeegee 12121 is a mixture of clean water on the rotary mop 11 and impurities wiped off the area. During self-cleaning, the water scraped by the squeegee 12121 is a mixture of clean water on the rotary mop 11 and residual impurities on the rotary mop 11. When the cleaning device 1 is self-cleaning and the impurities on the rotary mop 11 are completely removed, the water scraped by the squeegee 12121 is clean water from the rotary mop 11.

[0051] The areas to be cleaned can be floors, countertops, or desktops.

[0052] The cleaning device 1 in this application embodiment may be, but is not limited to, a sweeping and mopping robot or a mopping robot.

[0053] Please refer to Figures 2 and 3. In some embodiments, the water collection component 121 includes a water collection groove 1211, the opening of which faces the outer periphery of the rotary mop 11; the squeegee 12121 is located at the opening of the water collection groove 1211, and the squeegee 12121 makes interference contact with the outer periphery of the rotary mop 11 when squeegeeing.

[0054] Please refer to Figure 2. The outer periphery of the rotary mop 11 refers to the outer edge of the rotary mop 11. The outer periphery of the rotary mop 11 includes an edge surface 112 perpendicular to the first direction. The wiping part 12121 abuts against the edge surface 112 and squeezes the edge surface 112, so that the wiping part 12121 and the outer periphery of the rotary mop 11 are in interference contact.

[0055] In the above embodiment, when wiping water, the wiping part 12121 can squeeze the outer periphery of the rotary mop 11, so that there is a certain amount of interference between the wiping part 12121 and the rotary mop 11. When the rotary mop 11 rotates, the wiping part 12121 squeezes the rotary mop 11, so that the water inside the outer periphery of the rotary mop 11 is squeezed out by the wiping part 12121 as much as possible. The wiping part 12121 is located at the opening of the water collection tank 1211, so that the water squeezed out by the wiping part 12121 can flow into the water collection tank 1211 through the opening of the water collection tank 1211. This can confine the water squeezed out by the wiping part 12121 within the water collection tank 1211, preventing water from falling onto the area to be cleaned, reducing water stains left by the rotary mop 11 on the area to be cleaned, improving the cleanliness of the area to be cleaned, and thus making the mopping effect better.

[0056] Please refer to Figure 4. In some embodiments, the water collection tank 1211 includes an intersecting first sidewall 12122 and a second sidewall 12131. The scraper 12121 is connected to the first sidewall 12122, and the second sidewall 12131 receives the water scraped out by the scraper 12121.

[0057] In the above embodiment, the end of the first sidewall 12122 near the first direction is connected to the second sidewall 12131, and the second sidewall 12131 is located on one side of the first sidewall 12122 in the direction opposite to the rotation direction of the rotary mop 11. When the rotary mop 11 rotates, the rotary mop 11 can move relative to the first sidewall 12122, so that the water on the rotary mop 11 is intercepted by the squeegee 12121 connected to the first sidewall 12122, and the water intercepted by the squeegee 12121 can slide down the squeegee 12121 to the second sidewall 12131 to collect the water in the water collection tank 1211, and the second sidewall 12131 can prevent water from falling onto the part to be cleaned.

[0058] In some embodiments, in the distribution direction of the first sidewall 12122 and the rotary mop 11, the second sidewall 12131 is flush with the wiping section 12121, or the second sidewall 12131 protrudes from the wiping section 12121. This arrangement ensures that the second sidewall 12131 and the rotary mop 11 are staggered in the distribution direction of the first sidewall 12122 and the rotary mop 11, so that as much water flowing along the wiping section 12121 as possible can slide onto the second sidewall 12131, thereby reducing the risk of water falling onto the area to be cleaned.

[0059] In some embodiments, the wiper part 12121 and the first sidewall 12122 are integral structures.

[0060] In some embodiments, in a first direction, the squeegee portion 12121 at least partially protrudes from or is flush with the rotary mop 11.

[0061] By adopting the above technical solution, the wiping part 12121 can completely cover the outer periphery of the rotary mop 11, so that the wiping part 12121 can fully squeeze the outer periphery of the rotary mop 11, so that as much water as possible in the outer periphery of the rotary mop 11 is squeezed out and collected in the water collection tank 1211, thereby reducing the risk of water falling from the rotary mop 11 onto the area to be cleaned.

[0062] When the cleaning device 1 scrubs the area to be cleaned, the rotary mop 11 removes larger impurities such as hair, food crumbs, and paper scraps. As the rotary mop 11 rotates, the squeegee 12121 not only traps water on the rotary mop 11 but also scrapes off larger impurities, leaving them between the first sidewall 12122 and the second sidewall 12131.

[0063] Please refer to Figure 4. In some embodiments, the partition 12133 of the wastewater recycling module 12 is provided at the inlet 12111 of the water collection tank 1211 to filter impurities entering the water collection tank 1211 from the inlet 12111.

[0064] In the above embodiment, the space within the water collection tank 1211 is divided into a first water collection space 12112 and a second water collection space 12113 (as shown in Figure 7). The first water collection space 12112 is located between the inlet 12111 and the opening of the water collection tank 1211, and the second water collection space 12113 is located on the side of the inlet 12111 away from the opening of the water collection tank 1211. The inlet 12111 connects the first water collection space 12112 and the second water collection space 12113.

[0065] The separator 12133 is provided at the inlet 12111 to prevent larger impurities scraped off by the scraper 12121 from entering the second water collection space 12113 through the inlet 12111.

[0066] Please refer to Figure 4. In some embodiments, multiple partitions 12133 are provided, and the multiple partitions 12133 are spaced apart to divide the inlet 12111 into multiple small connecting ports so as to filter out impurities with smaller volume.

[0067] In some embodiments, the water collection trough 1211 includes intersecting first sidewalls 12122 and second sidewalls 12131, which enclose an L-shaped water collection trough 1211. A partition 12133 is disposed on the first sidewall 12122 and / or the second sidewall 12131, such that the partition 12133 divides the L-shaped water collection trough 1211 into the first water collection space 12112 and the second water collection space 12113, and the inlet 12111 is formed at the partition 12133.

[0068] Referring to Figure 4, in some embodiments, the water collection tank 1211 includes a first sidewall 12122, a second sidewall 12131, a third sidewall 12132, and a fourth sidewall 12123. The first sidewall 12122 and the second sidewall 12131 are intersecting, and the third sidewall 12132 and the fourth sidewall 12123 are intersecting. The end of the third sidewall 12132 away from the fourth sidewall 12123 is connected to the end of the second sidewall 12131 away from the first sidewall 12122. The end of the fourth sidewall 12123 away from the third sidewall 12132 is connected to the end of the first sidewall 12122 away from the second sidewall 12131. The third sidewall 12132 is disposed opposite to a portion of the first sidewall 12122, and the fourth sidewall 12123 is disposed opposite to a portion of the second sidewall 12131. The surfaces of the first sidewall 12122 and the third sidewall 12132, the surfaces of the second sidewall 12131 and the fourth sidewall 12123, the third sidewall 12132 and the fourth sidewall 12123 enclose the aforementioned second water collection space 12113 and the inlet 12111 communicating with the second water collection space 12113; the portion of the first sidewall 12122 protruding from the inlet 12111 and the portion of the second sidewall 12131 protruding from the inlet 12111 enclose the aforementioned first water collection space 12112.

[0069] Please refer to Figure 4. In some embodiments, the partition 12133 is connected to at least one of the first sidewall 12122, the second sidewall 12131, the third sidewall 12132, and the fourth sidewall 12123.

[0070] Please refer to Figure 4. In some embodiments, the second sidewall 12131 has a bearing surface 121311, which is used to receive water scraped out by the scraping part 12121.

[0071] The bearing surface 121311 is inclined. In the direction of gravity, the end of the bearing surface 121311 near the first side wall 12122 is lower than the end of the bearing surface 121311 away from the first side wall 12122, and the end of the bearing surface 121311 near the inlet 12111 is lower than the end of the bearing surface 121311 away from the inlet 12111.

[0072] With the above configuration, the bearing surface 121311 can guide the water in the first water collection space 12112 to the first side wall 12122 and guide the water in the first water collection space 12112 to the inlet 12111, so as to prevent the water on the bearing surface 121311 from flowing out of the groove of the water collection trough 1211.

[0073] Please refer to Figure 7. In some embodiments, the water collection member 121 includes a rigid member 1212 and a flexible member 1213. The water collection tank 1211 is formed by the rigid member 1212 and the flexible member 1213. The flexible member 1213 is located on the side of the rigid member 1212 facing the part to be cleaned along a first direction.

[0074] When the cleaning device 1 is working, the water collecting member 121 also needs to contact the part to be cleaned. In the above embodiment, along the first direction, the flexible member 1213 is located on the side of the rigid member 1212 facing the part to be cleaned, so that the flexible member 1213 contacts the part to be cleaned, which can prevent the water collecting member 121 from scratching the part to be cleaned.

[0075] In some embodiments, the wiper portion 12121 is connected to or integrally formed with the rigid member 1212.

[0076] It should be noted that the rigid part 1212 has a relatively high hardness. In the above embodiment, when the wiping part squeezes the rotary mop 11, the rigid part 1212 is not easily deformed, so as to maintain the amount of interference between the wiping part 12121 and the rotary mop 11, thereby maintaining the wiping effect of the wiping part 12121.

[0077] Furthermore, when the wiping part 12121 is integrally formed with the rigid part 1212, the hardness of the wiping part 12121 is relatively large. When the wiping part squeezes the rotary mop 11, the wiping part 12121 is not easily deformed, so as to maintain the amount of interference between the wiping part 12121 and the rotary mop 11, thereby maintaining the wiping effect of the wiping part 12121.

[0078] Please refer to Figures 6 and 7. In some embodiments, the first sidewall 12122, the fourth sidewall 12123, and the wiper part 12121 are all formed on the rigid member 1212, and the second sidewall 12131 and the third sidewall 12132 are formed on the flexible member 1213. The flexible member 1213 and the rigid member 1212 are connected, and the first sidewall 12122, the second sidewall 12131, the third sidewall 12132, and the fourth sidewall 12123 enclose to form the water collection groove 1211.

[0079] Please refer to Figures 1 and 2. In some embodiments, the cleaning device 1 further includes a mobile platform 13, with a rigid member 1212 rotatably connected to the mobile platform 13. The axis of rotation of the rigid member 1212 is perpendicular to a first direction. When the turntable mop 11 moves along the first direction, the water collection member 121 rotates around the axis of rotation perpendicular to the first direction.

[0080] In the above embodiments, the mobile platform 13 is configured to move on the part to be cleaned, and the mobile platform 13 is used to drive the rotary mop 11 and the sewage recycling module 12 to move relative to the part to be cleaned.

[0081] To prevent obstacles on the cleaning section from colliding with the rotary mop 11 and the water collection component 121 and causing damage to them, when the moving platform 13 passes over the obstacles on the cleaning section, the rotary mop 11 moves away from the cleaning section, so that the rotary mop 11 avoids the obstacles and reduces the risk of damage to the rotary mop 11. The water collection component 121 rotates with the rotary mop 11 and moves away from the cleaning section, so that the water collection component 121 can avoid the obstacles on the cleaning section and reduce the risk of damage to the water collection component 121.

[0082] After passing the obstacle, the rotary mop 11 moves toward the part to be cleaned, so that the cleaning surface 111 on the rotary mop 11 can contact the part to be cleaned; the water collection member 121 rotates with the rotary mop 11 and moves toward the part to be cleaned, so that the water collection member 121 can collect the water on the rotary mop 11 when the rotary mop 11 rotates.

[0083] Please refer to Figures 1 and 2. In some embodiments, the rigid member 1212 is rotatably elastically connected to the mobile platform 13. The rigid member 1212 includes a stop portion 12124, which is located on the side of the turntable mop 11 away from the part to be cleaned.

[0084] In the above embodiment, when the rotary mop 11 moves away from the part to be cleaned, the rotary mop 11 abuts against the stop 12124 to drive the water collection member 121 away from the part to be cleaned. When the rotary mop 11 moves towards the part to be cleaned, the resisting force exerted by the rotary mop 11 on the stop 12124 decreases or disappears. Since the rigid member 1212 is rotatably elastically connected to the moving platform 13, the rigid member 1212 can return to the state of contacting the part to be cleaned.

[0085] In some embodiments, the water collecting member 121 further includes an elastic member (not shown), which is connected to the rigid member 1212 and the moving platform 13, respectively. When the rotary mop 11 moves away from the area to be cleaned, the rotary mop 11 moves away from the area to be cleaned, and the rotary mop 11 abuts against the stop portion 12124, causing the water collecting member 121 to overcome the resistance of the elastic member and move away from the area to be cleaned. When the rotary mop 11 moves closer to the area to be cleaned, the resisting force exerted by the rotary mop 11 on the elastic member decreases or disappears, allowing the rigid member 1212 to return to a state of contact with the area to be cleaned under the elastic force of the elastic member.

[0086] The aforementioned elastic element can be a torsion spring, spring, etc.

[0087] Please refer to Figure 7. In some embodiments, the flexible member 1213 and the rigid member 1212 are detachably connected.

[0088] With the above configuration, when cleaning the cleaning equipment 1, the flexible part 1213 can be removed from the rigid part 1212 to facilitate the cleaning of impurities accumulated between the first sidewall 12122 and the second sidewall 12131.

[0089] Please refer to Figure 7. In some embodiments, the flexible member 1213 is provided with a slot 12134, and a portion of the rigid member 1212 is engaged in the slot 12134, so that the flexible member 1213 and the rigid member 1212 are engaged, so that the flexible member 1213 and the rigid member 1212 can be disassembled.

[0090] Please refer to Figures 3, 5 and 8. In some embodiments, the wastewater recycling module 12 further includes a water collection tank 122 and a water collection pipe 123. One end of the water collection pipe 123 is connected to the water collection tank 122, and the other end of the water collection pipe 123 is connected to the water collection trough 1211.

[0091] In the above embodiment, the water collection tank 122 can collect the water in the water collection trough 1211 so that the sewage recycling module 12 can collect more water.

[0092] Please refer to Figure 8. In some embodiments, the wastewater recycling module 12 also includes a reversing valve 124 and a water pump 125. One end of the reversing valve 124 is connected to the water collection tank 122, and the other end of the reversing valve 124 is connected to the water pump 125 to realize the water inlet and outlet of the water collection tank 122.

[0093] With the above settings, the wastewater recovery module 12 can collect the water on the turntable mop 11 in real time when the cleaning equipment 1 is working, and the wastewater recovery module 12 can also discharge the water in the water collection tank 122 after the cleaning equipment 1 has finished working.

[0094] In the above embodiment, the water collection pipe 123 is connected to the second water collection space 12113.

[0095] When the cleaning device 1 in the above embodiment absorbs water: the rotary mop 11 rotates at a certain speed, and clean water drips onto the inner ring of the rotary mop 11. Under the action of centrifugal force, some of the water on the rotary mop 11 is thrown to the outer periphery of the rotary mop 11. There is a certain amount of interference between the squeegee 12121 and the outer periphery of the rotary mop 11, so that the squeegee 12121 can squeeze the rotary mop 11, causing the water inside the rotary mop 11 to be continuously squeezed out, so that the water accumulates in the first water collection space 12112. The water pump 125 draws in the gas in the water collection tank 122, and the pressure in the water collection tank 122 decreases, so that the water collection tank 122 is under negative pressure, so that the water in the first water collection space 12112 flows into the second water collection space 12113 through the inlet 12111, and the water in the second water collection space 12113 flows into the water collection tank 122 through the water collection pipe 123, so that the water collection tank 122 is filled with water. Furthermore, the partition 12133 can filter impurities to prevent larger impurities from entering the second water collection space 12113, thereby reducing the risk of the water collection pipe 123 being blocked by impurities.

[0096] When the cleaning device 1 in the above embodiment drains water: the state of the reversing valve 124 is changed, and the water pump 125 blows air into the water collection tank 122, increasing the pressure inside the water collection tank 122, making the water collection tank 122 positive pressure. This causes the water in the water collection tank 122 to flow into the second water collection space 12113 through the water collection pipe 123, and then flow into the first water collection space 12112 through the inlet 12111, allowing the water in the water collection tank 122 to be discharged. Furthermore, as the water flows from the inlet 12111 to the first water collection space 12112, the water can also flush out impurities accumulated in the first water collection space 12112, enabling the cleaning device 1 to self-clean.

[0097] It is understandable that the cleaning device 1 can drain water after the water collection tank 122 is full. The cleaning device 1 can also drain water after the area to be cleaned has been wiped clean, at which point the water level in the collection tank 122 can be 20%, 30%, 50%, 80%, 100%, etc. The cleaning device 1 can also drain water in any state under the user's control, at which point the water level in the collection tank 122 can be 20%, 30%, 50%, 80%, 100%, etc.

[0098] In some embodiments, the wastewater recycling module 12 further includes a water level monitoring component. This component monitors the water level in the collection tank 122 in real time and, after the collection tank 122 is full, sends a signal to the controller in the cleaning device 1. The controller then outputs a control signal to change the state of the reversing valve 124, causing the water pump 125 to blow air into the collection tank 122, creating positive pressure and discharging the water. This allows the cleaning device 1 to automatically drain water after the collection tank 122 is full.

[0099] In some embodiments, the water collection element 121 and the squeegee 12121 are located on one side of the rotary mop 11 or between two rotary mops 11.

[0100] Please refer to Figure 1. In some embodiments, when the water collection component 121 is located between two rotary mops 11, the water collection component 121 and the squeegee 12121 are located between two rotary mops 11, and the water collection trough 1211 has two slots, with the two slots facing one rotary mop 11 respectively.

[0101] With the above configuration, one water collection unit 121 can collect water from the two rotary mops 11.

[0102] Referring to Figure 7, in some embodiments, after the rigid member 1212 and the flexible member 1213 are connected, the water collection trough 1211 is formed as a through groove, so that the water collection trough 1211 has two openings. A second water collection space 12113, two first water collection spaces 12112 and two inlets 12111 are formed in the water collection trough 12111. Two sets of partitions 12133 are provided, and the two sets of partitions 12133 are respectively provided at the two inlets 12111.

[0103] In some embodiments, when the water collection member 121 is located on one side of the turntable mop 11, the water collection trough 1211 has a slot facing the turntable mop 11.

[0104] In the above embodiment, a water collection device 121 collects water from a turntable mop 11, which can collect water from the turntable mop 11 in a relatively timely manner.

[0105] In the above embodiment, the water collection tank 1211 only needs to have a slot facing the turntable mop 11.

[0106] It is understood that in the embodiments of this application, in the rotation direction of the rotary mop 11, the squeegee 12121 in the water collecting member 121 is located downstream of the second side wall 12131 in the water collecting member 121. In this way, when the rotary mop 11 rotates, the water on the rotary mop 11 can be intercepted upstream of the squeegee 12121, and the water scraped by the squeegee 12121 will fall onto the second side wall 12131.

[0107] Therefore, in this embodiment, the location of the water collection component 121 needs to be determined according to the rotation direction of the rotary mop 11. For example, as shown in Figure 1, the two rotary mops 11 rotate in opposite directions, allowing the water collection component 121 to be positioned between the two rotary mops 11. When the two rotary mops 11 rotate in the same direction, at least two water collection components 121 need to be provided, with each of the at least two water collection components 121 in a one-to-one interference contact with one rotary mop 11. Furthermore, in the rotation direction of the rotary mop 11, the scraper portion 12121 of the water collection component 121 in the interference contact with the rotary mop 11 is located downstream of the second sidewall 12131 of the water collection component 121.

[0108] It should be noted that the location of the water collection component 121 only needs to be set according to the rotation direction of the turntable mop 11, ensuring that the scraper part 12121 in the water collection component 121 is downstream of the second side wall 12131 in the water collection component 121 in the rotation direction of the turntable mop 11. For example, the location of the water collection component 121 does not need to consider the movement direction of the moving platform 13. As shown in Figure 1, the movement direction of the moving platform 13 is parallel to or approximately parallel to the Y direction in the figure. The water collection component 121 can be set on the side of the turntable mop 11 closer to the Y direction (as shown in Figure 1), or the water collection component 121 can be set on the side of the turntable mop 11 away from the Y direction.

[0109] Please refer to Figure 9. This application embodiment provides a cleaning system, including a base station 2 and a cleaning device 1 as described in the first aspect embodiment above. The base station 2 has a receiving cavity 21 for accommodating the cleaning device 1. The base station 2 is used to supply water to the rotary mop 11 and also to receive water discharged by the cleaning device 1.

[0110] By applying the cleaning device 1 of the first aspect embodiment described above to the cleaning system, the cleaning effect of the cleaning system can be enhanced.

[0111] When the cleaning equipment 1 finishes working, when the cleaning equipment 1 has insufficient power, when the water tank in the cleaning equipment 1 has insufficient water, or when the water collection tank 122 is full of water, the cleaning equipment 1 can be moved into the receiving cavity 21. The base station 2 can charge the cleaning equipment 1, replenish the cleaning equipment 1 with clean water, receive the water discharged by the cleaning equipment 1, and clean the turntable mop 11 on the cleaning equipment 1.

[0112] Referring to Figures 9 and 10, in some embodiments, the base station 2 has a cleaning rib 22. When cleaning the rotary mop 11 on the cleaning device 1, the cleaning rib 22 makes interference contact with the rotary mop 11, causing the rotary mop 11 to rotate relative to the cleaning rib 22, allowing the cleaning rib 22 to scrape off impurities from the rotary mop 11. The base station 2 also supplies water to the rotary mop 11 to facilitate rinsing off impurities. Furthermore, the wastewater recovery module 12 operates to absorb the water from the rotary mop 11. After the rotary mop 11 has finished cleaning or the water collection tank 122 is full, the wastewater recovery module 12 discharges the water from the water collection tank 122. The base station 2 receives the water discharged from the water collection tank 122, or the base station 2 discharges the water from the water collection tank 122 into the sewer.

[0113] If the water collection tank 122 fills with water before the rotary mop 11 finishes cleaning, the cleaning device 1 moves into the receiving cavity 21 of the base station 2. The wastewater recovery module 12 drains the water from the water collection tank 122 into the base station 2, and the base station 2 drains the water from the water collection tank 122 into the sewer. After the water in the water collection tank 122 is drained, the cleaning device 1 is removed from the base station 2 and continues to clean the area to be cleaned. The above process is repeated until the area to be cleaned is completely cleaned.

[0114] After the cleaning unit finishes wiping, the cleaning device 1 moves into the receiving cavity 21 of the base station 2. The wastewater recovery module 12 discharges water from the water collection tank 122 into the base station 2, and the suction component 23 in the base station 2 drains the water into the sewer. Then, the rotary mop 11 rotates relative to the cleaning ribs 22 in the base station 2, allowing the cleaning ribs 22 to scrape off impurities from the rotary mop 11. The base station 2 also supplies water to the rotary mop 11 to facilitate rinsing off impurities. The wastewater recovery module 12 absorbs the water from the rotary mop 11. After the water collection tank 122 is full, the wastewater recovery module 12 discharges the water from the water collection tank 122, and the suction component 23 in the base station 2 drains the water from the water collection tank 122 into the sewer. This process is repeated until the rotary mop 11 is cleaned. After the rotary mop 11 finishes cleaning, the wastewater recycling module 12 will drain the water from the water collection tank 122, and the suction component 23 in the base station 2 will drain the water discharged from the water collection tank 122 into the sewer.
