As also shown, the uv generating means 4 comprises a plurality of uv lamps 41 and is shaped to provide a greater degree of cleaning of the mop 11. The uv-generating device 4 further comprises as shown a single uv-lamp 41, which may be arranged in the direction of entry of the cleaning robot 1 or horizontally and vertically to this direction.
The ultraviolet generating means 4 may have various forms in the position where the ultraviolet lamp 41 is disposed, and may be disposed in the vertical direction, for example, laterally to the connecting plate, or between the connecting plate and the partition plate 53, or may be disposed below the table 3, for example, below the cleaning tank 51.

In this further improved embodiment, all the baffles 81 can be openably and closably disposed at the inlet 21 and form a seal with the inlet 21 when closed, and since the baffles 81 seal the inlet 21 when closed, the base station with this structure can isolate the base station from the outside at the inlet 21 relative to the base station without the baffles 81, and there is no leakage of liquid or gas at the inlet 21 due to the need to dispose the inlet 21 of the cleaning robot 1 on the base 2, and there is also a reduction of noise transmission that may exist, and the base station has a sealing feature and a good user experience, and the structure and the number of the specific baffles 81 can be seen in fig. 15a to 15e, and the specific sealed connection manner can be seen in fig. 18 to 19.
In this embodiment, all the baffles 81 are rotatably connected to the base 2 at the position of the inlet 21, and the rotatable connection is opened and closed, for example, when the baffles 81 are rotated from the vertical direction to the horizontal position, the baffles 81 are in an open state, and when the baffles 81 are perpendicular to the horizontal plane, the baffles are in a closed state. There are various ways of providing the baffle 81, and there are also various ways of forming the baffle 81.

The baffle 81 may be trapezoidal. And the shielding structure with the middle gap 82 is particularly surrounded, and although the shielding structure with the middle gap 82 cannot block the heat dissipation of ultraviolet rays, the width of the baffle 81 is smaller, so that the depth of the cleaning robot 1 needing to enter is conveniently reduced.

For example, a fitting plate is fixedly disposed on the upper portion of the inlet 21 and partially covers the inlet 21, and the blocking plate 81 and the fitting plate complete partial or complete shielding of the inlet 21 when closed. Here, for convenience of understanding, fig. 15g may be used as a prototype, and in fig. 15g, the baffle 81 connected to the upper portion of the inlet 21 is replaced with an engaging plate fixedly disposed on the base 2, in this case, the baffle assembly 8 includes three baffles 81 at the left and right lower portions, all of the three baffles 81 are openable baffles 81, and all of the openable baffles 81 in the baffle assembly 8 may engage with an engaging plate fixed on the inlet 21 to partially or completely block the inlet 21, in this case, due to the presence of the engaging plate, the actual inlet 21 is the smaller inlet 21 formed by the base 2 and the engaging plate. Similarly, the other part of the baffle 81 in fig. 15g can be replaced by a matching plate and matched with the openable baffle 81, or the openable baffle 81 in the baffle assembly 8 can be matched to shield the inlet 21 in other embodiments where the matching plate may exist, that is, the baffle assembly 8 actually shields the smaller inlet 21.

The second elastic sealing member 27 is fixedly connected to the second opening 22 by bonding or the like, or detachably connected to the second opening 22 by fitting a groove and a protrusion or other means.
Considering that the sealing requirements are high when the fan assembly 55 is provided in the base station, and considering that some cleaning robots 1 hit the resettable barrier 81, a problem may arise that the cleaning robot 1 cannot enter the base station. That is, although the cleaning robot 1 can open the barrier 81 and can automatically reset the barrier 81 when the cleaning robot 1 is separated from the barrier 81, when the head of the cleaning robot 1 toward the moving side is provided with a front collision component, the cleaning robot 1 can directly avoid the barrier instead of entering the base station during collision, or when it is recognized that the barrier 81 is an obstacle and does not collide, the problem that the cleaning robot 1 cannot enter the base station occurs. In a modified embodiment, a driving unit 87 may be provided, and an output end of the driving unit 87 is connected to the baffle 81 to drive the baffle 81 to open or close, as shown in fig. 29 to 31.

The baffle 81 can be opened and closed by means of rotary connection. At this time, the inlet 21 has a stepped second opening 22, and when the shutter 81 is closed, the shutter 81 abuts on the stepped second opening 22. The driving unit 87 drives the baffle 81 to rotate to abut against the second opening 22, so that the closing effect is better. For better sealing performance, a second elastic sealing member 27 is provided on the stepped second opening 22.

All the baffles 81 are connected with the base 2 in a guide way at the position of the inlet 21, and the driving unit 87 is a driving unit 87 capable of driving the baffles 81 to move up and down. The baffle 81 can be opened and closed by up-and-down translation. Fig. 22 to 23 show a rail type connection manner of the baffle 81, and the driving unit 87 can be seen in fig. 29 to 31.

The base station has the characteristics of low noise, capability of preventing sewage splashing and good user experience.
By arranging the baffle plate assembly 8, the baffle plate assembly 8 comprises at least one baffle plate 81, all the baffle plates 81 can be arranged at the inlet 21 in an opening and closing mode and form sealing with the inlet 21 when the baffle plates 81 are closed, and the inlet 21 is sealed when the baffle plates 81 are closed, so that the base station with the structure can isolate the workbench 3 from the outside at the inlet 21 relative to a base station without the baffle plates 81, the possible liquid or gas leakage at the inlet 21 caused by the need of arranging the inlet 21 of the cleaning robot 1 on the base 2 can be avoided, the possible noise external transmission can be reduced, the sealing characteristic is realized, and the user experience is good. The base station has the characteristics of good sealing performance and good user experience.
The baffle assembly 8 further comprises a driving unit 87, the output end of the driving unit 87 is connected with the baffle 81 to drive the baffle 81 to be opened or closed, the baffle 81 is driven to move by the driving unit 87, the opening and closing can be more stable than the baffle assembly 8 without the driving unit 87, the cleaning robot 1 is not required to impact the baffle 81 to open the baffle 81, and the problem that the front impact assembly of the cleaning robot 1 collides the baffle 81 to retreat and avoids the baffle 81 is solved. The base station of the present invention has a feature that the entrance 21 is openable and closable.
The above-mentioned embodiments only express several embodiments of the present invention, and the description thereof is more specific and detailed, but not construed as limiting the scope of the invention. It should be noted that, for a person skilled in the art, several variations and modifications can be made without departing from the inventive concept, which falls within the scope of the present invention.
