The automatic rotation system 10 is provided in a base station, and includes a rotating body 11 and a driving unit 12. The rotating body 11 is rotatably provided in the base station, and the rotating body 11 is formed with a parking chamber 13, and the parking chamber 13 is used for parking the sweeper 10a and exposing the mops 10b of the sweeper 10a to the outside. The driving unit 12 is connected to the rotating body 11 and drives the rotating body 11 to rotate.

Wherein the rotating body 11 has a first position and a second position, and the rotating body 11 is switched between the first position and the second position by the driving of the driving portion 12.

When the rotating body 11 is in the first position, the sweeper 10a can walk into the rotating body 11 and is parked in the parking chamber 13; when the rotator 11 is in the second position, the base station can clean the mops 10b of the sweeper 10a located inside the rotator 11.

In the above implementation process, when the automatic rotation system 10 is in a standby state or is not in operation, as shown in fig. 1, 2 and 3, the rotating body 11 is in the first position, and the sweeper 10a climbs on the guide plate 14 of the base station in a normal walking posture, and finally enters the rotating body 11 and is parked in the parking chamber 13 (see fig. 1-3);

with reference to fig. 3 and 4, after the sweeper 10a is parked in the parking chamber 13, the automatic rotating system 10 operates, the driving part 12 drives the rotating body 11 to rotate, and the rotating body 11 is switched from the first position to the second position (in fig. 4, the rotating body 11 and the sweeper 10a are both in the second position). For clarity of comparison, changes in orientation of the sweeper 10a can be determined in conjunction with the positive and negative charging poles 10c of the sweeper 10a and the mop 10b of fig. 1-4.

Since the mop 10b of the sweeper 10a is exposed outside the parking chamber 13, when the orientation of the sweeper 10a is changed, the orientation of the mop 10b is also changed, and in the second position, the mop 10b is in the cleaning station of the base station, which can clean the mop 10b, and at the same time, since the orientation of the sweeper 10a is changed, the base station can also conveniently charge the sweeper 10a in the second position.

The automatic rotating system 10 does not need the sweeper 10a to enter the base station in a backward posture, the sweeper can enter the base station in a normal walking posture, and the automatic rotating system 10 adjusts the direction of the sweeper 10a, so that the sweeper 10a can clean the mop 10b in the base station.

After the sweeper 10a is cleaned, the driving portion 12 drives the rotating body 11 to rotate, the rotating body 11 is switched from the second position to the first position, that is, the rotating body 11 is switched to the state shown in fig. 3, and the sweeper 12 can be withdrawn from the rotating body 11.

It should be noted that, in the present disclosure, an included angle between the first position and the second position is one hundred and eighty degrees, that is, the automatic rotation system 10 operates to rotate the sweeper 10a one hundred and eighty degrees, so that the mop 10b of the sweeper 10a can be located at a cleaning station of the base station; similarly, when the cleaning station of the base station is changed, the angle between the first position and the second position, that is, the rotation angle of the sweeper 10a is also changed, for example, the angle between the first position and the second position, that is, the rotation angle of the sweeper 10a may be ninety degrees or one hundred twenty degrees.

In the present disclosure, referring to fig. 6, fig. 6 is a partial perspective view of the rotator 11 in this embodiment.

The rotating body 11 includes a rotating upper cover 15 and a rotating lower cover 16 connected to each other. The rotary upper cover 15 is connected to the driving unit 12. The side wall of the rotary lower cover 16 is formed with a first notch 160, the bottom surface of the rotary lower cover 16 is formed with a second notch 161, and the rotary upper cover 15 and the rotary lower cover 16 jointly define the parking chamber 13. The sweeper 10a enters the parking chamber 13 from the first notch 160 and the mop 10b of the sweeper 10a is exposed to the second notch 161.

In the implementation process, the rotating body 11 is simple in structure and convenient to manufacture. At the same time, the first notch 160 and the second notch 161 are designed to facilitate entry of the sweeper 10a into the parking chamber 13, and the mop 10b is exposed in the second notch 161 for cleaning.

Referring to fig. 7, fig. 7 is a partial perspective view of the automatic rotation system 10 in the present embodiment. In the present disclosure, the automatic rotation system 10 further comprises a pallet 17, the pallet 17 being hinged to the rotating lower cover 16 and located within the parking chamber 13.
