In addition, the movable member 20 may have a brush-shaped structure or a concave-convex pattern on its outer shell for easy cleaning, and the movable member 20 may also have other members such as a brush, a clapper, or a scraper for easy cleaning, which are not limited herein.

The movable element 20 can also be used to receive the cleaning element 220 of the cleaning robot 200, and the manner in which the movable element 20 receives the cleaning element 220 will be described in detail below: when the cleaning robot 200 moves to a predetermined position relative to the base station main body 10, the movable member 20 is configured to move relative to the base station main body 10, that is, the movable member 20 moves relative to the cleaning member 220 of the cleaning robot 200, and the specific movement mode may be rotation, swing or translation. The moveable member 20 can move to align with the cleaning member 220 during movement, and the moveable member 20 can also move to misalign with the cleaning member 220. When the moveable member 20 moves into alignment with the cleaning member 220, the moveable member 20 is able to receive the cleaning member 220 of the cleaning robot 200.

It is noted that the cleaning base station 100 includes at least one movable member 20, and the at least one movable member 20 is configured to receive the cleaning member 220 of the cleaning robot 200, and the at least one movable member 20 is also configured to receive the cleaning member 220 of the cleaning robot 200, which may be understood as the same movable member 20 configured to receive the cleaning member 220 of the cleaning robot 200 and to clean the cleaning member 220 of the cleaning robot 200, and may also be understood as one of the at least one movable member 20 configured to receive the cleaning member 220 of the cleaning robot 200 and the other movable member 20 configured to receive the cleaning member 220 of the cleaning robot 200.

For example, the cleaning robot 200 is provided with a grabbing member, a sensor, a controller, and other members, when the sensor detects that the moving member 20 is aligned with the cleaning element 220, the controller controls the grabbing member to release the cleaning element 220, and the cleaning element 220 falls on the moving member 20, wherein the grabbing member may be a grabbing portion of a mechanical arm or a clamping structure controlled by a pneumatic cylinder, which is commonly found in an automatic processing lathe, and the specific structure is not described herein.

For another example, the cleaning robot 200 is provided with an adhesive structure, an electric push rod, a sensor, a controller, and other components, the cleaning element 220 is attached to the cleaning robot 200 through the adhesive structure, and when the sensor detects that the movable element 20 is aligned with the cleaning element 220 of the cleaning robot 200, the controller controls the electric push rod to push the cleaning element 220 onto the movable element 20. The adhesive structure may be a magic tape, an adhesive tape with adhesive property, or the like, and is not limited herein. Obviously, the manner in which the movable member 20 receives the cleaning member 220 is numerous and will not be described in detail.

In addition, after the movable member 20 receives the cleaning member 220, the movable member 20 can also convey a new cleaning member 220 to be aligned with the cleaning robot 200, so as to complete replacement of the cleaning member 220, and the following describes a manner of replacing the cleaning member 220 by the movable member 20:

in some embodiments, one movable member 20 may receive one cleaning member 220, more than one dry cleaning member 220 may be detachably disposed on the base station body 10, after the movable member 20 cleans the cleaning member 220 of the cleaning robot 200, the movable member 20 receives the cleaned cleaning member 220, and then the movable member 20 moves to other positions, the base station body 10 bonds or grabs the cleaned cleaning member 220 by a grabbing member or a bonding structure, the cleaning member 220 continues to move and receives the dry cleaning member 220 on the base station body 10, and finally moves to align with the cleaning robot 200, so that the cleaning robot 200 grabs by the grabbing member or bonds the dry cleaning member 220 by the bonding structure, and finally, the replacement of the cleaning member 220 is completed.

In other embodiments, two cleaning elements 220 may be carried on one movable member 20, and when the movable member 20 washes and receives the cleaning element 220 of the cleaning robot 200, the movable member 20 moves and aligns the other dry cleaning element 220 mounted thereon with the cleaning robot 200, so that the cleaning robot 200 can grasp the dry cleaning element 220 by the grasping member or adhere the dry cleaning element 220 by the adhesion structure, and finally, the replacement of the cleaning element 220 is completed.

Obviously, there are many ways to replace the cleaning elements 220, and it should be noted that the replacement ways may be different when there is one cleaning element 220 and when there are more than one cleaning elements 220, and thus the description is omitted.

It should be noted that the cleaning member 220 on the machine body 210 may be a floor mopping assembly 2201 such as a mop, a floor mopping roller, a pallet, etc., and the cleaning member 220 on the machine body 210 may also be a floor sweeping assembly 2202 such as a middle sweeper, a side sweeper, etc., all of which are not specifically limited herein.

According to the technical scheme, the at least one movable piece 20 is configured to move relative to the base station main body 10, so that the at least one movable piece 20 can automatically clean the cleaning piece 220 of the cleaning robot 200, meanwhile, the at least one movable piece 20 is configured to receive the cleaning piece 220, and after the movable piece 20 receives the cleaning piece 220, the cleaning piece 220 of the cleaning robot 200 can be automatically replaced, so that the time consumed by the cleaning robot 200 in a cleaning process is greatly saved, and the cleaning efficiency and the automation of equipment are improved.

In some embodiments of the present invention, referring to fig. 1 and fig. 2, at least one movable member 20 is provided with at least one carrying portion 21 and at least one cleaning portion 22, the carrying portion 21 on each movable member 20 is used for carrying the cleaning member 220 of the cleaning robot 200, and the cleaning portion 22 on each movable member 20 is used for cleaning the cleaning member 220.

It should be noted that the carrying part 21 may be provided with structures for stabilizing the cleaning member 22, such as a surrounding plate, a groove, a clamping block, etc., and the cleaning part 22 may be provided with cleaning structures for cleaning the cleaning member 22, such as a brush, a scraping strip, etc.

In addition, the arrangement of the bearing portion 21 and the cleaning cloth on each movable member 20 may be different according to the movement of the movable member 20.

Taking the number of the bearing portions 21 as a plurality and the moving member 20 swinging relative to the cleaning robot 200 as an example, each bearing portion 21 on the moving member 20 can be arranged along the swinging direction of the moving member 20, so that each bearing portion 21 can be aligned with the position of the cleaning member 220 mounted on the cleaning robot 200 in sequence along with the swinging of the moving member 20, thereby facilitating the replacement of the cleaning member 220. In other words, when the number of the cleaning portions 22 is plural, the plural cleaning portions 22 may be arranged along the swinging direction of the movable member 20, so that the cleaning members 220 can be cleaned by the respective cleaning portions 22 in sequence.

Preferably, at least one bearing portion 21 and at least one cleaning portion 22 on each movable member 20 are arranged along the moving direction of the corresponding movable member 20 so as to be capable of moving along with the corresponding movable member 20 to be aligned with the cleaning element 220. The arrangement enables the movable part 20 to clean the cleaning member 220 and replace the cleaned cleaning member 220.

To facilitate the replacement process, further, the cleaning member 220 is detachably attached to the machine body 210, and the bearing portion 21 of each movable member 20 is configured to be able to suck the cleaning member 220 of the cleaning robot 200 and release the cleaning member 220 of the cleaning robot 200.

It should be noted that the cleaning element 220 may be magnetically attracted to the machine body 210 of the cleaning robot 200, that is, the machine body 210 may be provided with a magnetic attraction portion for attracting the cleaning element 220, the moving element 20 is correspondingly provided with a magnetic attraction element, when the magnetic attraction portion on the machine body 210 is controlled to be closed, the cleaning element 220 may fall on the corresponding moving element 20, or when the magnetic attraction element on the moving element 20 is controlled to be opened, and the magnetic attraction force of the magnetic attraction element on the cleaning element 220 at the corresponding position is greater than the magnetic attraction force of the machine body 210 on the cleaning element 220, the cleaning element 220 may be magnetically attracted to the moving element 20; when the magnetic attraction member is controlled to be closed, the cleaning member 220 on the movable member 20 can be magnetically attracted back by the machine body 210, and the replacement process of the cleaning member 220 can be very simple and convenient through the principle.

Of course, the cleaning member 220 may also be vacuum-sucked on the machine body 210 of the cleaning robot 200, that is, the machine body 210 may be provided with a vacuum sucking structure for sucking the cleaning member 220, and the movable member 20 is correspondingly provided with a vacuum sucking member. The specific replacement mode of the structure can refer to the replacement mode of the magnetic attraction mode, and is not repeated herein.

Considering that the vacuum suction mode generally requires the movable member 20 to contact with the cleaning member 220 on the corresponding machine body 210, and thus the vacuum suction structure on the machine body 210 may need to be able to stretch and contract to achieve the corresponding function, which results in an increase in cost, in view of this, further, the cleaning member 220 is magnetically sucked on the machine body 210, and the bearing portion 21 is provided with an electromagnet for sucking and releasing the cleaning member 220.

Further, at least two bearing portions 21 are provided on each movable element 20, and for convenience of description, two bearing portions 21 on each movable element 20 are taken as an example for description: one of the two bearing portions 21 can suck a dry cleaning element 220, when the cleaning robot 200 reaches a preset position, the cleaning element 220 of the cleaning robot 200 is aligned with one bearing portion 21 of the two bearing portions 21 which does not suck the cleaning element 220, the bearing portion 21 aligned with the cleaning element 220 on the machine body 210 is used for sucking the cleaning element 220 on the machine body 210, and then the movable element 20 moves to align the bearing portion 21 originally sucked with the dry cleaning element 220 with the cleaning robot 200 and release the dry cleaning element 220, so that the released cleaning element 220 can be sucked by the machine body 210.

To ensure a good cleaning effect of the movable member 20 on the cleaning element 220, further, referring to fig. 1 and 3, the cleaning portion 22 is provided with a cleaning brush 23. It should be noted that the cleaning brush 23 may be a plastic brush, a brush or a brush made of other materials, and is not limited herein; the number of the cleaning brushes 23 may be one, or may be two or more, and is not limited herein.

In some embodiments of the present invention, referring to fig. 1 and 3, there are at least two moving parts 20, each of the at least two moving parts 20 is configured to receive a cleaning element 220 of the cleaning robot 200, and at least one of the at least two moving parts 20 is configured to clean the cleaning element 220 of the cleaning robot 200 and/or clean the cleaning elements 220 of the cleaning robots 200 on the other moving parts 20. The arrangement can enable the movable piece 20 to firstly receive the cleaning piece 220 on the machine body 210 and replace the dry and clean cleaning piece 220 on the machine body 210, so that the cleaning robot 200 can immediately start mopping, and other movable pieces 20 can clean the cleaning piece 220 taken down from the machine body 210 later, thus the cleaning robot 200 does not need to wait for the cleaning piece 220 to start mopping after cleaning, and the whole cleaning process is greatly shortened.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 3, the at least two moving members 20 are arranged at intervals in the up-down direction, and a cleaning brush 23 is disposed on the lower side of the upper moving member 20 of the at least two moving members 20 for cleaning the cleaning member 220 on the lower moving member 20. This arrangement allows the cleaning brush 23 to perform a complete cleaning of the upper surface of the cleaning member 220.

In other embodiments, referring to fig. 4, the at least two moving members 20 are arranged at intervals in the vertical direction, the moving member 20 located above in the at least two moving members 20 is provided with a relief opening 24 in the vertical direction, the relief opening 24 is used for exposing the cleaning element 220 of the cleaning robot 200, the upper side of the moving member 20 located below in the at least two moving members 20 is provided with a cleaning brush 23, and the cleaning brush 23 can contact the cleaning element 220 on the moving member 20 located above through the relief opening 24, so as to clean the cleaning element 220 on the moving member 20 located above. Obviously, such an arrangement enables cleaning of the lower surface of the cleaning member 220.

It should be noted that the present embodiment can also be combined with the embodiment that the cleaning brush 23 is disposed on the lower side of the movable member 20, so that the upper and lower surfaces of the cleaning member 220 are cleaned.

In order to make the cleaning brush 23 clean the lower portion of the cleaning element 220 as much as possible, the offset opening 24 is also correspondingly larger, so that the middle portion of the cleaning element 220 lacks support, which may cause the problem that the cleaning element 220 is deformed or falls off from the offset opening 24, and in view of this, further, referring to fig. 1 and 5, the offset opening 24 is provided with at least one supporting rib 25, and the at least one supporting rib 25 is used for supporting the cleaning element 220 of the cleaning robot 200, so as to ensure that the cleaning element 220 is stably arranged on the movable element 20.

In view of the fact that the existence of the supporting ribs 25 may cause a portion of the cleaning member 220 to be blocked by the supporting ribs 25 and thus cannot be cleaned, referring to fig. 6, the cleaning brush 23 includes a first brush 231 and a second brush 232 sequentially arranged along the moving direction of the movable member 20, the first brush 231 includes a first hard brush portion 231a and a first soft brush portion 231b arranged along the moving direction perpendicular to the movable member 20, the second brush 232 includes a second hard brush portion 232a and a second soft brush portion 232b arranged along the moving direction perpendicular to the movable member 20, the first hard brush portion 231a and the second soft brush portion 232b are aligned, and the first soft brush portion 231b and the second hard brush portion 232a are aligned. So set up and to drive the relative moving part 20 of cleaning member 220 and produce the rotation of certain range when can letting cleaning brush 23 and cleaning member 220 contact, let the part that cleaning member 220 and support rib 25 counterpoint take place the dislocation with support rib 25, finally let the downside part of cleaning member 220 can both obtain cleanly.

It will be appreciated that the brush parts have different hardness and friction against the cleaning member 220, and therefore, when the first hard brush part 231a and the first soft brush part 231b of the first brush 231 contact the cleaning member 220, the first hard brush part 231a carries the cleaning member 220 with a certain magnitude of relative movement with respect to the movable member 20, and correspondingly, when the second hard brush part 232a and the second soft brush part 232b of the second brush 232 contact the cleaning member 220, the second hard brush part 232a carries the cleaning member 220 with a certain magnitude of movement in opposite directions.

In order to ensure the stability of the cleaning element 220 on the movable element 20 and prevent the cleaning element 220 from falling off from the movable element 20 when the cleaning element is cleaned, further, a fixing shaft (not shown) is further convexly disposed on one side of the movable element 20 facing the cleaning robot 200, and a fixing hole (not shown) is correspondingly disposed on one side of the cleaning element 220 of the cleaning robot 200 facing the movable element 20, and the fixing hole is used for being matched with the corresponding fixing shaft, that is, the fixing shaft extends into the fixing hole to limit the cleaning element 220.

It should be noted that the fixing shaft may be cylindrical, square column, conical column or other irregular shapes, and is not limited in this respect. The shape of the fixing hole is matched with that of the fixing shaft, and the fixing hole can be a blind hole or a through hole which is arranged in a penetrating manner, and is not limited herein.
