It should be noted that, during the process of placing the cleaning device on the charging base station 200, the cantilever 21 is pressed by the cleaning device, so that the swinging member 2 can be driven to the second position by pushing the cantilever 21.

In some embodiments, the swinging member 2 includes a swinging arm 22, the swinging center of the swinging member 2 is disposed at the swinging arm 22, the swinging arm 22 is connected to the cantilever 21, and the extending direction of the cantilever 21 and the extending direction of the swinging arm 22 form an included angle.

For example, as shown in fig. 2, the swing arm 22 may extend substantially in the up-down direction, the swing center of the swing member 2 may be provided at the top end of the swing member 2, and the bottom end of the swing member 2 may be connected to the cantilever 21, wherein the extending direction of the swing arm 22 and the extending direction of the cantilever 21 are substantially perpendicular, i.e., the angle formed by the extending direction of the swing arm 22 and the extending direction of the cantilever 21 is 90 degrees.

In use, the swinging member 2 can swing back and forth like a pendulum about the center of oscillation of the top, thereby facilitating switching of the swinging member 2 between the first position and the second position.

In some embodiments, the cantilever 21 includes a first section 211 and a second section 212, and one end of the swing arm 22 is connected to the connection of the first section 211 and the second section 212, and the free end of the first section 211 is configured to extend out of the charging base station 200 and stop with the cleaning device.

As shown in fig. 2, the cantilever 21 may be divided into two sections in the extending direction thereof, the two sections being a first section 211 and a second section 212, respectively, wherein the first section 211 may be generally connected to the rear side of the second section 212, and the bottom end of the swing arm 22 may be connected to the connection between the first section 211 and the second section 212.

In some embodiments, in the second position, the free end of the second section 212 abuts the electrical trigger 4 to trigger the electrical trigger 4 and effect an electrical connection of the cleaning device and the charging contact 204 of the charging base station 200.

As shown in fig. 1 and fig. 2, the free end of the second section 212 is the front end of the second section 212, after the swing member 2 is switched to the second position, the front end of the second section 212 can be in pressing contact with the pulling piece of the electric trigger member 4, and the pressed pulling piece can realize the circuit conduction of the electric trigger member 4, so that the charging contact 204 can charge the cleaning device.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 2, the length of the first section 211 is greater than the length of the second section 212. Therefore, the force arm formed by the first section 211 and the swing arm 22 is longer than the force arm formed by the second section 212 and the swing arm 22, so that the rear end of the first section 211 can be driven when being subjected to smaller pushing force of the cleaning device, swing adjustment of the swing piece 2 is facilitated, the front end of the second section 212 needs larger force to be matched with torque applied by the rear end of the first section 211, and under the force, the pulling piece of the electric trigger piece 4 can be subjected to larger force and generate larger deformation, so that the stability of the conducting state of the electric trigger piece 4 is ensured.

In some embodiments, the oscillating member 2 comprises a stop 23, the stop 23 being connected to the stop 3. For example, as shown in fig. 2, the limiting portion 23 may be integrally formed on the front side of the swinging member 2, the limiting portion 23 may be a cross-shaped member, the limiting member 3 may be a spring, one end of the spring may be sleeved on the outer peripheral side of the limiting portion 23, and the expansion and contraction guiding properties of the spring may be enhanced by means of the limiting portion 23.

In some embodiments, the spring is configured such that the central axis is inclined with respect to the horizontal plane such that the limit 23 reciprocates along the central axis of the spring as the oscillating member 2 oscillates between the first and second positions.

For example, the spring may be disposed at the front side of the swinging member 2, and the spring may generally extend in a front-up-to-rear-down direction, and the central axis of the spring may be generally tangential to a circle formed when the swinging member 2 swings, whereby the spring may be generally compressed in the extending direction thereof when the swinging member 2 swings, that is, the limiting portion 23 may be generally moved forward and backward along the central axis of the spring, thereby facilitating the improvement of the compression stability of the spring and avoiding the occurrence of a large oblique deformation of the spring.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 1, 3 and 4, the limiting module 100 includes a housing 1, the housing 1 may be substantially rectangular, the swinging member 2, the limiting member 3 and the electrical triggering member 4 are disposed in the housing 1, wherein the swinging member 2 may be pivotally assembled in the housing 1, one end of the limiting member 3 may abut against a front sidewall of the housing 1, the other end of the limiting member 3 may be connected to the swinging member 2, the electrical triggering member 4 may be fixed in the housing 1, and the electrical triggering member 4 may be located below the swinging member 2. A through hole may be provided on a rear sidewall of the accommodating case 1, and a portion of the swing member 2 may protrude from the through hole of the accommodating case 1 when the swing member 2 swings to the first position.

The arrangement of the accommodating shell 1 realizes the modularization and integration arrangement of the limiting module 100, avoids the scattered distribution of the swinging piece 2, the limiting piece 3 and the electric trigger piece 4, and also ensures the assembly precision of each part of the limiting module 100.
