Alternative embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The base station 10 is a device for charging a cleaning device and cleaning, drying, removing dust, etc. of a cleaning member, and has an electrode 19 and a cleaning unit 15. The base station 10 is generally composed of a base portion supported on the ground, which includes an inclined surface and side surfaces on both sides thereof, and a vertical portion. The inclined surface is provided with a surface suitable for the wheels of the cleaning equipment to walk, the surface can be preferably provided with a bump structure to facilitate the skid resistance of the wheels, a wheel groove can be further arranged at the parking position of the cleaning equipment to allow the wheels to be stably parked, and stopping structures can be further arranged at two sides of the wheel groove to prevent the cleaning equipment from shifting forwards and backwards at the parking position. On the sides of both sides, guide wheels 13 can be provided for guiding the cleaning device into the base station, and electrodes 19 for charging the cleaning device, although it will be understood that the guide wheels 13 can also be provided on the cleaning device, and the electrodes 19 can also be provided on the bottom or front side of the base to correspond to the arrangement of the electrodes on the cleaning device, said electrodes 19 preferably being elastic when provided on the sides, to avoid excessive friction of the machine on entry and exit to damage the machine sides; one or more detents 18 may also be provided on the side to facilitate the cleaning device detecting the detents 18 with a sensor thereon to determine the position of the cleaning device.

The washing portion 15 is provided at the innermost portion of the base portion, and the specific position and shape of the washing portion 15 are determined by the position of the cleaning device after entering the docking station, and the shape is determined by the shape of the cleaning member of the cleaning device, which is not particularly limited herein. The washing section 15 is provided with a washing tank corresponding to the position of the cleaning part of the cleaning device since it is used for wet type work, and a sub-tank for accommodating the washing liquid sprayed or leaked from the washing tank when the cleaning part is washed is provided next to the position of the washing tank near the entrance of the base station so as not to be left to the ground along the inclined surface of the base station.

In a traditional base station for cleaning components, at least one clean water tank and at least one sewage tank are arranged, the water level in the clean water tank is ensured to be higher than a certain minimum value in the using process, and when the water level is lower than the minimum value, water needs to be supplemented into the clean water tank; and the sewage tank needs to be manually dumped after the water is full. Otherwise, it is conceivable that the cleaning process may be stopped or reported by a lack of water during the cleaning process when the clean water level is insufficient, and the sewage tank may overflow or the sewage may not be pumped any more when the water is full.

Based on this, the base station of the present disclosure still provides a clean water tank 23, and a clean water tank inlet 16 and a clean water tank outlet are provided on the clean water tank 23. A pressure reducing valve 21 and a water inlet solenoid valve 22 are sequentially disposed on a pipeline connecting the inlet 16 of the clean water tank, the inlet of the water inlet solenoid valve 22 corresponds to an external water inlet pipeline opening 14 disposed on the base station 10, the external water inlet pipeline opening is disposed at a proper position on the base station 10 and forms a connection part with an external water source, of course, only one hole may be disposed on the base station 10, and the inlet of the water inlet solenoid valve 22 passes through the base station 10 and is directly connected to the external water source. Importantly, the inlet of the clean water tank 23 is connected to an external water source, such as a city water tap or the like, by a controllable solenoid valve 22. When the clean water tank 23 needs to be filled, the control board of the base station 10 controls the electromagnetic valve 22 to open and fill the clean water tank 23. While the pressure reducing valve 21 is provided after the water inlet solenoid valve 22 to regulate the flow of water into the clean water tank 23, the pressure reducing valve 21 is not necessary for some cases, and the clean water tank 23 may be directly connected to the faucet through the water inlet solenoid valve 22.

In the clean water tank 23, a float ball 25 for detecting a water level is provided, and a magnet corresponding to the hall sensor 24 provided on the water tank is provided on the float ball 25. When the hall sensor 24 senses the magnet, a control signal is sent to the control unit, and when the magnet cannot be sensed by the hall sensor 24 due to the falling of the float ball 25, a control signal is also sent to the control unit. In the present embodiment, the water inlet solenoid valve 22 and the hall sensor 24 are both connected to the control unit, and when the control unit receives the signal of the hall sensor 24, the control unit feeds the water inlet solenoid valve 22 with a control command; of course, it is understood that the water inlet solenoid valve 22 may also be directly connected to the hall sensor 24, and the hall sensor 24 is equivalent to a trigger switch of the water inlet solenoid valve 22.

When the clean water tank 23 is full of water or the water level drops to a certain height, the water inlet solenoid valve 22 is turned on and off based on a signal of the hall sensor 24. In one case, the hall sensor 24 is used for sending a shutdown signal to the water inlet electromagnetic valve 22 when the clean water tank 23 is full of water, and at the moment, the hall sensor 24 detects a magnet on the floating ball 25 in a full water state; in another case, when the water level in the clean water tank 23 drops to a certain height, the hall sensor 24 sends an opening signal to the water inlet solenoid valve 22, and at this time, the hall sensor 24 detects the magnet on the float ball 25 in a water-free state. The above two conditions are respectively used for controlling the water inlet electromagnetic valve 22 in the full water state and the no water state, so that the above two conditions can also be combined into the clean water tank 23, the full water level and the no water level corresponding to the clean water tank 23 are respectively set, the Hall sensor 24 stops the water supply of the electromagnetic valve 22 when the magnet on the floating ball 25 is detected by the Hall sensor of the full water level, and opens the water supply of the electromagnetic valve 22 when the magnet on the floating ball 25 is detected by the Hall sensor of the no water level. Of course, it is also possible to provide only one hall sensor 24 at full or no water level, and to use other detection methods at no or full water level, which are known in the art and are not described in detail herein.

In normal use, the clean water tank 23 has an outlet connected to a clean water pump 41, and when water is needed, the clean water pump 41 is operated to pump clean water from the clean water tank 23 into the washing section 15 for washing the cleaning members.

For cleaning of the cleaning elements, a better cleaning effect can be achieved by adding a certain proportion of detergent, so that a container for containing detergent can be arranged on the base station 10, the container can be a part of the clean water tank, the part for containing clean water is separated by a partition, and the detergent is poured into the container when in use, or can be a separately arranged detergent containing space. Alternatively, the container containing the detergent may be a space containing a bottle of detergent, and in use, the opening of the bottle of detergent is opened and put into the containing space in an appropriate orientation, and when it is desired to add detergent, it is squeezed out or drawn out by an appropriate mechanism.

In one case, an opening is formed at the side or bottom of the cleaning member accommodating space, and the opening is connected to a cleaning agent pump 31 through a pipe, and when necessary, the cleaning agent pump 31 is operated to draw the cleaning agent out of the accommodating space.

When the cleaning member is cleaned by using the fresh water and the detergent simultaneously, it is necessary to sufficiently mix the fresh water and the detergent before entering the cleaning portion 15, and therefore, a mechanism for mixing the fresh water and the detergent, such as a mixing screw 51, in which the fresh water and the detergent are sufficiently mixed and then flow to the cleaning portion 15 through an outlet of the mechanism is provided at the common outlet pipe after the fresh water pump 41 and the detergent pump 31 are connected in parallel.

From the above description, sewage is generated after the cleaning of the cleaning parts is completed in the cleaning part 15, and since the cleaning tank and the sub-tank are provided with openings at their outlets, corresponding sewage pumps are required to pump the sewage of both the cleaning tank and the sub-tank. In this regard, the present embodiment discloses a drain pump 60, preferably a submersible pump. A drain pump 60 is provided at the rear of the base station 10, having a cleaning tank sewage inlet 61 and a sub-tank sewage inlet 62 corresponding to the above cleaning tank and sub-tank openings, respectively, and a leakage-proof return port 63 is further provided thereon to prevent a return flow. A drain port 64 is provided downstream of the drain pump 60 for drawing and draining the contaminated water out of the base station. When the washing machine works, the impeller of the drainage pump 60 is positioned below the water surface, the

water outlets

11 and 12 of the washing tank and the auxiliary water tank are respectively connected with the

sewage inlets

61 and 62 of the drainage pump, the impeller of the drainage pump 60 rotates at a high speed, and the mixture of sewage, silt and the like is discharged out of the sewage pump under the action of centrifugal force.

Through the arrangement, automatic water feeding and automatic water discharging of the base station can be completed, active participation of a user is not needed, and full-automatic work of the base station is really realized.

Of course in some cases, such as base stations placed without a city water tap or without a sewer inlet, only automatic drainage or automatic feeding arrangements may be provided to accommodate different environments.

The embodiments of the present disclosure only realize fully automatic water feeding and water discharging from one or several specific ways, however, these ways are exemplary, and the differences of some embodiments may constitute equivalent implementations.
