The cleaning robot 300 may be used to automatically clean dust, hair, etc. on the floor, and in the case where a mop is provided on the cleaning robot 300, the cleaning robot 300 may perform a mopping operation on the floor after cleaning the floor.

The functions of the base assembly 100 in the embodiment of the present utility model include at least one of charging, dust collecting, washing, drying, and sterilizing the cleaning robot 300.

The base assembly 100 is not limited in application, and can be integrated below a household appliance, so that the household appliance can be supported, and the cleaning robot can be stored.

In the embodiment of the present utility model, the pedestal assembly 100 is described as applied to a laundry treating apparatus.

An embodiment of the present utility model provides a laundry treating apparatus, referring to fig. 1 and 2, including a laundry treating machine 200 and a pedestal assembly 100 according to any embodiment of the present utility model, the pedestal assembly 100 is positioned below the laundry treating machine 200, and the laundry treating machine 200 is supported on the pedestal assembly 100. The pedestal assembly 100 provides structural support for the laundry treating machine 200, and the pedestal assembly 100 is a force-receiving member capable of carrying the weight of the laundry treating machine 200 and its load.

Illustratively, the laundry machine 200 may independently perform its laundry treatment function, for example, any one or more of washing, drying, dehydrating, etc., functions, that is, the functions of the laundry machine 200 may not depend on the base assembly 100.

The laundry treating machine 200 may include various forms such as a washing machine, a dehydrating machine, a dryer, a washing and drying integrated machine, and the like. The specific application of the laundry machine 200 is not limited to the structure of the pedestal assembly 100 of the present utility model.

In the laundry treatment apparatus according to the embodiment of the present utility model, the pedestal assembly 100 is integrated under the laundry treatment machine 200, on the one hand, the cleaning robot 300 can be stored in a space under the laundry treatment machine 200, and the indoor space occupied by the cleaning robot 300 can be reduced; on the other hand, the laundry machine 200 is placed near the faucet and the floor drain to facilitate water intake and drainage, thus facilitating water intake and drainage of the pedestal assembly 100 through the convenience of water intake and drainage of the laundry machine in existence, solving the water intake and drainage problems of the pedestal assembly 100.

Referring to fig. 1, a bottom wall of the accommodating chamber 30a is provided with a ramp plate 40 at an end near the opening 10b, and the ramp plate 40 is used for guiding the cleaning robot 300 into and out of the accommodating chamber 30a.

Illustratively, the bottom of the base assembly 100 has a plurality of feet 50. The entire laundry treating apparatus is supported on the ground by the respective feet 50, that is, the respective feet 50 are required to bear the weight of the entire laundry treating apparatus and its load.

The foot 50 may be a fixed foot or an adjustable foot with adjustable support height, without limitation.

Illustratively, referring to fig. 4, the ratio of the width d1 of the opening 30b to the width d2 of the base assembly 100 is 30% to 98%, i.e., d1/d2=30% to 90%. For example, 30%, 34%, 40%, 45%, 48%, 50%, 53%, 56%, 60%, 62%, 65%, 67%, 70%, 73%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 88%, 90%, 92%, 94%, 95%, 98%, etc.

It is generally considered that the larger the ratio of the width of the opening to the width of the base assembly is, the more convenient the sweeping robot can get in and out, so that the station returning success rate of the sweeping robot is improved, and the reason that the base station opening of the traditional sweeping robot accounts for 100% of the width of the base station is also that of the traditional sweeping robot. However, since the applicant of the present utility model has found that the pedestal assembly 100 according to the present utility model is required to bear the weight and vibration of the laundry treating machine above, if the ratio of the width d1 of the opening 30b to the width d2 of the pedestal assembly 100 is too large, the opening 30b will encroach on the size of the supporting structure for supporting the laundry treating machine above, resulting in a significant reduction in the supporting effect of the pedestal assembly 100, resulting in an increase in the vibration or sloshing of the whole machine, and the design of the present utility model overcomes the technical prejudice of the prior art. The width of the opening 30b needs to ensure that the cleaning robot can enter and exit the accommodating chamber 30a.

In this embodiment, the ratio of the width of the opening 30b to the width of the base assembly 100 ranges, and the dimension of the base assembly 100 along the width direction may also have a partial space to arrange other parts under the condition that the accommodating cavity 30a can accommodate the cleaning robot 300, so that the structural layout is more compact and reasonable.

In the embodiment of the present utility model, the width direction of the base assembly 100, the width direction of the opening 30b, and the width direction of the laundry machine 200 are the same.

In the width direction, both ends of the base assembly 100 in the width direction are required to bear the weight of the laundry machine and its load, and thus if the size of the base assembly 100 in the width direction (i.e., the span in the width direction) is too large, a portion of the structure of the base assembly 100 may bear a bending moment, and the larger the span, the larger the bending moment may be, and the larger the shearing force the base assembly 100 may bear. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present utility model, under the condition that the width of the opening 30b is kept unchanged, the width of the base assembly 100 does not exceed 3.3 times the width of the opening 30b, so that the width of the base assembly 100 is limited in size, and the width of the base assembly 100 is prevented from being too wide, thereby ensuring the structural strength and the shearing resistance of the base assembly 100.

In some preferred embodiments, the ratio of the width of the opening 30b to the width of the base assembly 100 is 50% to 70%. For example, 50%, 53%, 55%, 56%, 58%, 60%, 62%, 65%, 67%, 69%, 70%, etc. In this embodiment, the stress condition of the base assembly 100 is better, and the structural layout is more compact.

Illustratively, the width of the opening 30b is 183mm to 595mm (millimeters). For example, 183mm, 190mm, 195mm, 200 mm, 210mm, 250mm, 280mm, 300mm, 330mm, 370mm, 400mm, 420mm, 450mm, 480mm, 500mm, 550mm, 560mm, 570mm, 590mm, 595mm, etc. In this embodiment, the width of the opening 30b can be adapted to the size of the existing cleaning robot 300.

In some preferred embodiments, the width of the opening 30b is 290mm to 440mm. For example, 300mm, 330mm, 340mm, 350mm, 370mm, 380mm, 390mm, 400mm, 410mm, 420mm, 430mm, 440mm, etc. In this embodiment, the width of the opening 30b is suitable, which can make the width of the corresponding base assembly 100 more reasonable.

Illustratively, the base assembly 100 has a width of 290mm to 900mm. For example 290mm, 300mm, 350mm, 400mm, 440mm, 470mm, 500mm, 550mm, 600mm, 660mm, 700mm, 770mm, 800mm, 8300mm, 900mm. In this embodiment, the width of the base assembly 100 can be adapted to the width-wise dimension of the existing laundry machine 200, so that the width of the laundry machine 200 and the width of the base assembly 100 are better matched.

In some preferred embodiments, the base assembly 100 has a width of 470mm to 715mm. For example, 470mm, 480mm, 490mm, 500mm, 520mm, 550mm, 580mm, 600mm, 630mm, 660mm, 700mm, 715mm, etc. In this embodiment, the base assembly 100 has a reasonable width, which provides both good structural strength and sufficient width to secure the width dimension of the receiving cavity 30a.

Illustratively, the dimension h of the base assembly 100 in the height direction does not exceed the width d2 of the base assembly 100, i.e., h+.d2. In this embodiment, the structural frame 10 has a substantially flat configuration, and the base assembly 100 has a relatively small dimension in the height direction in the case of accommodating the cleaning robot 300, so that when the laundry machine 200 or the like is supported on the base assembly 100, the overall center of gravity of the laundry machine is relatively low, which is advantageous for improving the vibration smoothness of the laundry machine.

Illustratively, the dimension h of the base assembly 100 in the height direction is no more than 40cm (centimeters), i.e., h is less than or equal to 40cm. The base assembly 100 has a height as low as possible on the premise of accommodating the cleaning robot 300, so that the overall center of gravity of the laundry treating apparatus can be reduced as much as possible, and the overall height of the laundry treating machine 200 is not excessively raised, thereby facilitating the use of the laundry treating machine 200 by a user.

Referring to fig. 1 to 4, for example, the base assembly 100 includes a structural frame 10 and a base 30. The structural frame 10 serves as a force receiving member of the pedestal assembly 100, and the pedestal assembly 100 mainly relies on the structural frame 10 to bear the weight of the laundry machine 200 and its load, and the pedestal 30 does not substantially bear the weight of the laundry machine 200 and its load.

The base 30 is disposed inside the structural frame 10, and at least a portion of the space in the base 30 defines a receiving chamber 30a.

Referring to fig. 3 and 4, for example, the base assembly 100 includes a dust box 20, the dust box 20 being for collecting impurities discharged from the cleaning robot 300, the dust box 20 and the base 30 being arranged side by side in a width direction of the base assembly 100. Therefore, the space of the base assembly 100 along the width direction can be fully utilized, the space along the height direction can be saved, and the base assembly 100 can be designed in a flattened manner as much as possible.

In some embodiments, the width of the pedestal assembly 100 and the width of the laundry treating machine 200 differ by no more than 5mm. It should be noted that the difference is not more than 5mm, and includes three cases: first, the width of the pedestal assembly 100 is the same as that of the laundry treating machine 200; second, the width of the base assembly 100 is greater than the width of the laundry machine 200, and the difference therebetween is not more than 5mm; third, the laundry machine 200 has a width greater than that of the base assembly 100, and the difference therebetween is not more than 5mm. Thus, the appearance of the clothes treatment equipment is tidy and attractive.

Illustratively, the dimension h of the pedestal assembly 100 in the height direction is not more than 40% of the dimension of the laundry machine 200 in the height direction. In this embodiment, the ratio of the dimension of the pedestal assembly 100 in the height direction to the dimension of the laundry machine 200 in the height direction ranges such that the two have a proper ratio distribution in the height direction, the overall height of the pedestal assembly 100 is not excessively large with respect to the height of the laundry machine 200, so that the overall structural layout of the laundry machine is reasonable.

In some embodiments, the external dimension of the base assembly 100 is determined by the external dimension of the structural frame 10, for example, the width of the base assembly 100 is the width of the structural frame 10, and the dimension of the base assembly 100 along the height direction is the dimension of the structural frame 10 along the height direction.

Illustratively, in some embodiments, the structural frame 10 may employ a frame structure. The frame structure takes a frame consisting of beams and columns as a structure with vertical bearing and horizontal action. In this manner, the weight of the laundry machine 200 and its load may be mainly carried by the frame structure. In this embodiment, the beams and columns may be made of metal materials to improve structural strength and reliability.

In other embodiments, the structural frame 10 may be made of plastic, so long as the structural strength is satisfactory. It should be noted that, the structural strength can be enhanced by adding a metal piece on the basis of the injection molding.

Illustratively, the structural frame 10 is generally box-shaped in shape.

The side plates 11 can be arranged around the structural frame 10, and the side plates 11 can play a role in decoration and attractive appearance and also play a role in reinforcing the structural strength of the structural frame 10.

In embodiments where the structural frame 10 is a frame structure, the side panels 11 enclose the frame structure, which is not visible from the exterior of the structural frame 10. Because the structural frame 10 depends on the frame structure for bearing, the structural strength requirement on the side plate 11 is low, the parameters such as the material, the plate thickness and the like of the side plate 11 can be flexibly selected, and the design flexibility is high.

Illustratively, when the cleaning robot 300 is parked in the accommodating chamber 30a, for example, in a dust discharging position or a charging position, in the above-described planar projection, the projection of the cleaning robot 300 is located within the projection range of the base assembly 100, that is, the accommodating chamber 30a can completely accommodate the cleaning robot 300, and no arbitrary portion of the cleaning robot 300 protrudes outside the accommodating chamber 30a.

In an embodiment, the bottom wall of the receiving chamber 30a is provided with a washing tub for washing the cleaning members of the cleaning robot 300, e.g. mops.

Therefore, the controller can control the water inlet valve to be opened and closed, so that the automatic water inlet of the cleaning tank is realized. The water flow of the washing tub can be independently controlled through the water inlet valve, and is not affected by the water used by the laundry machine 200, and only the water inlet valve needs to be electrified, so that even if the laundry machine 200 is not electrified and does not work, the water inlet valve can work independently. Similarly, the water flow of the laundry machine 200 can be independently controlled.

In one embodiment, the water intake waterway is communicated with the tap water pipe. In one aspect, the tap water pipe continuously provides tap water to the cleaning tank. This saves the structure of a water tank or the like for supplying water to the cleaning tank.

In one embodiment, the base assembly 100 includes a drain channel and a drain pump, the drain channel is communicated with the cleaning tank and the floor drain, and the drain pump is disposed on the drain channel to pump the sewage in the cleaning tank to the floor drain. Therefore, the controller can control the starting and stopping of the drainage pump to realize automatic drainage of the cleaning tank.

Illustratively, the drain passage and the drain pipe of the laundry machine 200 may communicate through a tee joint to share a floor drain. That is, both the washing water from the laundry machine 200 and the washing water in the washing tub can be discharged to the drain through the same drain, without providing a drain for each of the washing water and the washing tub, thereby saving structural members.

In one embodiment, the base assembly 100 includes a lotion bottle in communication with the sink, the lotion bottle being disposed on the base 30. The lotion bottle is used for adding lotion into the washing tank, so that the cleaning piece can be better washed.
