Detailed Description

In the related art, a base is generally included in a cleaning base station, and a water tank are provided on the base, and cleaning water is stored in the water tank and may be supplied to the water tank through a pipe or the like. In order to meet the requirement of cleaning for a certain number of times, the volume of the water tank cannot be too small, so that the base station cannot be cleaned in a large volume, and the base station cannot be applied to a working environment with high space requirement.

In view of this, the embodiment of the invention provides the cleaning liquid to the cleaning tank by using the liquid storage tank assembly in the cleaning device, so that the cleaning base station does not need to be provided with a water tank, and the volume of the cleaning base station can be reduced.

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

Example one

The embodiment provides a cleaning base station 100, and the cleaning base station 100 can be used for automatically cleaning a cleaning component 215 in a cleaning device 200. It should be noted that the cleaning device 200 may include, but is not limited to, a vacuum cleaner, a floor mopping machine, a sweeping robot, and other common cleaning devices and household appliances. In the present embodiment, the cleaning device 200 is a vacuum cleaner as an example.

Fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a cleaning base station according to an embodiment of the present application, fig. 2 is a schematic structural diagram of a cleaning base station and a cleaning device according to an embodiment of the present application, and fig. 3 is an exploded schematic structural diagram of a cleaning base station according to an embodiment of the present application.

Referring to fig. 1, 2 and 3, the cleaning base station 100 of the present application includes a body 110, a cleaning tank 120 and a washing assembly 130. The body 110 serves as a base of the entire cleaning base station and supports the cleaning device 200. The cleaning tank 120 is configured to receive therein a cleaning liquid for immersion of the cleaning member 215. The cleaning assembly 130 may automatically clean the cleaning member 215 immersed in the cleaning bath 120.

Wherein the cleaning groove 120 may be provided on the body 110. In the present application, the cleaning liquid is a liquid for cleaning the cleaning member 215, and may be water, a mixture of water and a cleaning liquid, or another type of liquid capable of performing a cleaning function.

It is understood that the cleaning groove 120 may be formed separately from the body 110 or may be formed integrally with the body 110.

In the case where the cleaning tank 120 is formed separately from the body 110, referring to fig. 3, for example, the body 110 may be formed in a structure in which the inside is hollow, that is, a hollow cavity 111 (refer to fig. 7 described below) is provided in the body 110, and the top of the hollow cavity 111 has an opening 112. The cleaning tank 120 may cover the opening 112, and at this time, the tank body portion of the cleaning tank 120 may enter the hollow cavity 111, and the notch portion is located outside the hollow cavity 111. It will be appreciated that the edge of the cleaning slot 120 and the opening 112 may be in sealing connection to prevent cleaning liquid from entering the hollow cavity 111. Here, the edge of the slot of the cleaning tank 120 is illustratively provided with an everted edge portion 113 that can overlap and cover just above the edge of the opening 112 to seal the opening 112.

While, in the case where the cleaning groove 120 is integrally formed with the body 110, the shape, configuration, etc. of the cleaning groove 120 are similar to those of the above-described separately formed case, except that the cleaning groove 120 and the body 110 are integrally formed in the production process, for example, may be integrally formed by injection molding.

In some embodiments, to facilitate immersing the cleaning member 215 in the cleaning bath 120, the cleaning bath 120 may be disposed on the top of the body 110, for example, on the upper surface of the body 110. In addition, the notch of the cleaning bath 120 may be located at the top surface of the cleaning bath 120. It is understood that the cleaning groove 120 may be disposed at other positions, such as the side of the body 110, and the like.

In the embodiment of the present application, the cleaning assembly 130 includes an ultrasonic generator 140, and the ultrasonic generator 140 is disposed on the cleaning tank 120, and the cleaning assembly is cleaned by applying ultrasonic waves generated from the ultrasonic generator 140 to the cleaning liquid.

The cleaning by ultrasonic wave is realized by utilizing the direct and indirect action of the cavitation action, the acceleration action and the direct current action of the ultrasonic wave in the cleaning liquid on the cleaning liquid and dirt, so that a dirt layer is dispersed, emulsified and stripped to achieve the cleaning purpose. In particular, acoustic cavitation occurs when ultrasonic waves propagate in the cleaning liquid. The shock wave generated when the cavitation bubbles suddenly close can generate thousands of atmospheric pressures around it, directly and repeatedly impacting the dirt layer, destroying the adsorption of dirt to the surface of the cleaning member 215 on the one hand, and also causing the dirt layer to break away from the surface of the cleaning member 215 and disperse them into the cleaning liquid on the other hand. And the air bubbles can also be drilled into cracks to vibrate, so that deeper dirt falls off.

As described above, since the ultrasonic generator 140 is disposed on the cleaning tank 120, the ultrasonic wave generated by the ultrasonic generator can generate cavitation in the cleaning liquid and generate a large amount of bubbles, which continuously impact the cleaning member 215 immersed in the cleaning liquid, which not only has high cleaning efficiency but also has better cleaning effect compared to the manual cleaning in the prior art. In the present application, the ultrasonic generator 140 may be an ultrasonic vibrator.

In the embodiment of the present application, the ultrasonic generator 140 may be disposed on the side groove wall 121 of the cleaning groove 120, specifically, the ultrasonic generator 140 may be disposed only on the inner side surface of the side groove wall 121; or the ultrasonic generator 140 may be provided only on the outer side surface of the side groove wall 121; still alternatively, ultrasonic generators 140 are provided on both the inner and outer side surfaces of the side groove walls 121. In consideration of the convenience of cleaning, the ultrasonic generator 140 is disposed on the outer surface of the lateral groove wall 121, and the description thereof is omitted here for the case where the ultrasonic generator 140 is disposed at other positions. It should be noted that the ultrasonic generator 140 is disposed on the outer side surface of the side tank wall 121, specifically, the ultrasonic generator 140 is attached to the wall surface of the cleaning tank 120 facing the inside of the hollow cavity 111. Here, the ultrasonic generator 140 may be bonded to the wall surface of the cleaning tank 120 facing the inside of the hollow cavity 111 by an adhesive such as glue.

It will be appreciated that the ultrasonic generators 140 can be located closer to the notches of the cleaning bath 120 than they can be located elsewhere, since the cleaning liquid bubbles are greater in number and energy and stronger near the ultrasonic wave generation source, so that more cleaning liquid bubbles are collected near the side bath walls 121, i.e., near the cleaning members 215, which enhances the cleaning effect on the cleaning members 215.

Fig. 4a is a longitudinal sectional view of a structure of a cleaning tank in a cleaning base station according to an embodiment of the present application. With reference to fig. 3 and 4a, it can be understood that the cleaning tank 120 may include side tank walls 121 and a bottom tank wall 122, each side tank wall 121 is enclosed around the bottom tank wall 122, and the bottom end of each side tank wall 121 is connected to each edge of the bottom tank wall 122, so that each side tank wall 121 and the bottom tank wall 122 together form the cleaning tank 120. The ultrasonic generator 140 is disposed on the outer side surface of the side groove wall 121, and it can be understood that, at this time, the ultrasonic generator 140 is located in the hollow cavity 111, and the cleaning groove 120 covers the opening 112 of the hollow cavity 111, and the ultrasonic generator 140 is located in a relatively closed space, and is not easily contaminated by water, dirt, and the like from the outside.

In addition, in some embodiments, in conjunction with fig. 4b, the cleaning tank 120a may include side tank walls 121a, and each side tank wall 121a is connected end to end and encloses a tank body of the cleaning tank 120a, in which case the ultrasonic generator 140 is located on an outer surface of the side tank wall 121 a.

It is understood that, in order to achieve better cleaning effect, the number of the ultrasonic generators 140 may be multiple, and the side groove walls 121 may include a first side groove wall 123 and a second side groove wall 124 on two opposite sides, for example, referring to fig. 3, a portion of the ultrasonic generators 140 may be attached to the first side groove wall 123, and another portion of the ultrasonic generators 140 may be attached to the second side groove wall 124 opposite to the first side groove wall 123. Thus, the ultrasonic generators 140 are provided on both sides of the cleaning member 215, and the cleaning effect is further enhanced by the cooperation of the ultrasonic generators and the cleaning member. Of course, fig. 3 shows an example in which the ultrasonic generators 140 are provided on the first lateral groove wall 123 and the second lateral groove wall 124, and may be provided on another pair of opposing lateral groove walls, as long as the ultrasonic generators 140 are provided on the opposing lateral side walls, respectively.

It should be noted that the ultrasonic generators 140 are disposed on the opposite side groove walls 121, for example, referring to the cleaning groove 120 shown in fig. 3, and the ultrasonic generators 140 may be disposed on the four side groove walls 121 in fig. 3. Either all three side slot walls 121 are provided with ultrasonic generators 140 or only one side slot wall 121 is provided with an ultrasonic generator 140, such variations fall within the scope of the present application.

In the embodiment of the present application, the longitudinal cross-sectional shape of the cleaning groove 120 may be set as required, and the distance between the groove walls 121 on both sides of the cleaning groove 120 along the length direction L gradually increases from the groove bottom to the notch. For example, as shown in fig. 4a and 4b, the distance between two opposite side groove walls 121 gradually increases from the groove bottom to the groove opening, and the distance between two opposite side groove walls 121a gradually increases from the groove bottom to the groove opening. Since the cleaning member 215 enters the cleaning bath 120 from the notch and is located approximately at the middle upper portion of the cleaning bath 120. This arrangement makes it possible to bring more cleaning liquid into contact with the cleaning member 215 and improve the cleaning effect of the cleaning member 215, with a constant amount of cleaning liquid.

Alternatively, the side groove walls of the cleaning groove may extend in the depth direction of the cleaning groove, and the cleaning groove shown in fig. 4c and 4d is formed into a substantially rectangular groove, for example. In fig. 4c, the cleaning groove 120b has a substantially same dimension in the depth direction D and a substantially same dimension in the width direction H, and the ultrasonic generators 140 may be provided on a set of opposing side groove walls 121 b. In fig. 4D, the dimension in the width direction H of the cleaning groove 120c is significantly larger than the dimension in the depth direction D of the cleaning groove 120c, resulting in a shallower cleaning groove 120c, and at this time, the ultrasonic generator 140 may be disposed on the outer surface of the bottom groove wall 122 c.

Fig. 5 is a schematic structural diagram of a cleaning tank in a cleaning base station according to a first embodiment of the present disclosure, fig. 6 is a longitudinal sectional view of the cleaning tank in the cleaning base station according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure, fig. 7 is a schematic structural diagram of the cleaning base station according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure and a cleaning device used together, and fig. 8 is a partially enlarged view of a portion a of fig. 7.

Referring to fig. 3, 5 to 8, in the embodiment of the present application, in order to further enhance the cleaning effect of the cleaning assembly, on the basis of the aforementioned arrangement of the ultrasonic generator, the cleaning assembly 130 may be further modified as follows, and exemplarily, the cleaning assembly 130 further includes a scraper 150. The wiper strip 150 may be disposed in the cleaning groove 120, and the wiper strip 150 is configured to abut against a surface of the cleaning member 215 of the cleaning device 200 to clean the surface of the cleaning member 215.

The cleaning member 215 of the cleaning device 200 may be disposed as needed, and in this application, the cleaning member 215 is exemplified as the roll brush 210. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the cleaning member 215 may also be of other types and forms, such as a track-type cleaning belt or the like.

Specifically, referring to fig. 5 and 8, the scraping bar 150 may be disposed in an air-suspending manner, that is, the scraping bar 150 is disposed in an air-suspending manner in the notch area of the cleaning tank 120. Because the length direction of the rolling brush 210 is substantially consistent with the length direction L of the cleaning tank 120 when the rolling brush 210 is immersed in the cleaning tank 120, if the scraping strip 150 extends along the length direction L of the cleaning tank 120 and the scraping strip 150 is suspended, the scraping strip 150 can just abut against the surface of the rolling brush 210, and at this time, the rolling brush 210 rotates, and the scraping strip 150 can scrape off the dirt on the surface of the rolling brush 210.

Specifically, the wiper strip 150 is traversed in the cleaning groove 120, so that after the ultrasonic generator 140 is started, the outer surface of the roller brush 210 is rotated at a certain speed and then moves relative to the wiper strip 150. The relative movement of the wiper strip 150 and the pile layer on the exterior of the roller brush 210 causes the soil on the pile layer to be stripped from the body of the pile layer, and the stripped soil can be drawn into a waste tank 230 (see fig. 10, described below). In addition, the wiper strip 150 also functions to direct the propagation of ultrasonic waves in the cleaning liquid medium, distributing the energy more evenly in the cleaning liquid.

It is understood that, in the case where the bar 150 is suspended in the cleaning tank 120, both ends of the bar 150 may be connected to the side tank walls 121c and 121c of the cleaning tank 120 at both ends in the longitudinal direction, respectively. Thus, it is convenient to set the length of the wiper strip 150 to be long. In the present embodiment, the wiper strip 150 may have an elongated shape, and may have a cylindrical shape or a sheet shape, for example.

In one possible embodiment, the height of the wiper strip 150 in the cleaning tank 120 cannot be too low, for example, the height of the cleaning tank 120 can be lower than the operating water line of the cleaning tank 120. Thus, the cleaning member 215 can abut against the wiper strip 150 when it is submerged below the operating water level.

Further, the number of the wiper strips 150 may be set as needed, and for the cleaning member 215 shown in fig. 7, a plurality of wiper strips 150 may be provided, and the wiper strips 150 may be parallel to each other and spaced apart from each other, and for example, two wiper strips 150 may be provided. Referring to fig. 6 and 7, considering that the cleaning member 215 is located substantially on the right side (the right side in the drawing of fig. 7) of the cleaning tank 120 when immersed in the cleaning tank 120, both the wiper strips 150 may be disposed on the right side.

In addition, in order to detect the liquid level of the cleaning liquid in the cleaning tank 120, it is also conceivable to provide a liquid level sensor in the cleaning tank 120.

In the embodiment of the present application, in order to enable the cleaning apparatus 200 to be stably supported on the body 110, some structures for assisting positioning may be further provided. Referring to fig. 1 and 2, for example, the top of the body 110 has a positioning groove 114, and the groove wall of the positioning groove 114, especially the groove body surrounded by the side groove walls, has a shape matching the shape of the cleaning device 200, so that when the cleaning device 200 is placed in the positioning groove 114, the outer contour of the cleaning device 200 can be attached to the groove wall of the positioning groove 114, and the positioning of the cleaning device 200 is more stable.

At the bottom of the groove of the positioning groove 114, there is a positioning part 115, and the positioning part 115 is configured to be in matching abutment with the running mechanism of the cleaning device 200. The traveling mechanism of the cleaning apparatus 200 may be, for example, the roller 211, so that the positioning part 115 is used to position the roller 211.

For example, the positioning portion 115 may be a plurality of, the plurality of positioning portions 115 may include the roller groove 116 and the stopper protrusion 117, or the positioning portion 115 may include only the roller groove 116, or the positioning portion 115 may include only the stopper protrusion 117. Referring to fig. 1, roller slot 116 may open at the bottom of positioning slot 114. The stop projection 117 may protrude upward from the bottom of the positioning groove 114. Referring to fig. 2, in the case that the roller 211116 and the stopping protrusion 117 are disposed in the positioning groove 114, the bottom of the roller 211 may be positioned in the roller groove 116, and the middle of the tread of the roller 211 may abut on the stopping protrusion 117, so that the roller 211 may be positioned well.
