In some embodiments of the present application, whether it is necessary to supply electric power and cleaning liquid can be determined by setting a corresponding sensor on the cleaning device 200, that is, it is determined according to the state of the cleaning device 200. When the cleaning device 200 detects that the When the electric energy carried by itself is low enough to complete the cleaning work, the replenishment device 100 is required to provide electric energy replenishment. Supply of cleaning fluid.

In some embodiments of the present application, when replenishing the cleaning liquid to the cleaning device 200, the docking mechanism 13 enters the cleaning liquid tank 22 of the cleaning device 200, in order to be able to stop in time when the cleaning liquid is greater than or equal to a preset value For replenishment, as shown in FIG. 4 to FIG. 7 , the replenishment device 100 further includes a detection mechanism 15, and the replenishment tank 12 starts and stops replenishment according to the detection result of the detection mechanism 15, so as to prevent the replenishment device 100 from performing wrong replenishment when the replenishment is not required.

When the cleaning fluid in the cleaning fluid tank 22 is greater than or equal to the preset value, the water pump 16 of the replenishing device 100 stops and no longer supplies the cleaning fluid. delivery.

In some embodiments of the present application, in order to realize that the docking mechanism 13 can enter the cleaning liquid tank 22 of the cleaning device 200 when the cleaning liquid is replenished, a driving mechanism can be set to drive the docking mechanism 13 to perform a downward movement; a driving mechanism can be set to drive the cleaning device 200 makes an upward movement; it can be the downward movement of the docking mechanism 13 and the upward movement of the cleaning device 200; the lower end of the docking mechanism 13 can be set to be inclined to form an angle with the vertical direction, and as the cleaning device 200 moves to the supply device 100, Gradually contact with the sealing mechanism 23 by the inclination, and then enter the cleaning liquid tank 22; the upper end of the sealing mechanism 23 can be set to be inclined to form an angle with the vertical direction, and the cleaning device 200 moves to the replenishing device 100. , gradually contact with the sealing mechanism 23 by tilting, and then enter the cleaning liquid tank 22. The above method is only for illustration, and other deformation structures are also within the protection scope of the present application. In one embodiment, a driving mechanism is provided to drive the docking mechanism 13 to perform a downward movement so that the docking mechanism 13 can enter the cleaning liquid tank 22 of the cleaning device 200 . Specifically, the replenishing device 100 further includes a driving mechanism. The driving mechanism is connected to the base station 11 and is connected to the docking mechanism 13. The driving mechanism is configured to drive the docking mechanism 13 into the interior of the cleaning device 200, which means that the docking mechanism 13 is in the In this case, the connection with the base station 11 is an active connection, and further, the docking mechanism 13 is slidingly connected to the base station 11 . When the cleaning device 200 does not need to replenish the cleaning liquid, the driving mechanism drives the docking mechanism 13 to retract and hide in the base station 11 , so that the surface of the base station 11 is not exposed.

Specifically, the replenishing device 100 further includes a travel monitoring mechanism connected to the base station 11, and the travel monitoring mechanism is configured to monitor the travel of the docking mechanism. The stroke monitoring mechanism may only monitor the stroke end point of the descending motion of the docking mechanism 13 , or may monitor the stroke end point of the descending motion and the ascending motion of the docking mechanism 13 at the same time. In one embodiment, the end of travel of the descending and ascending movements of the docking mechanism 13 is monitored simultaneously. When the cleaning device 200 needs the replenishment device 100 to provide replenishment, it moves to the bottom of the docking mechanism 13, the driving mechanism drives the docking mechanism 13 to move downward, the docking mechanism 13 contacts the sealing mechanism 23, and the docking mechanism 13 moves to the end of the descending stroke to be monitored by the stroke The mechanism monitors that the control driving mechanism stops driving, the docking mechanism 13 enters the cleaning liquid tank 22, and the detection mechanism 15 detects whether the cleaning liquid tank 22 needs to be replenished, and starts to replenish according to the cleaning liquid in the cleaning liquid tank 22 is less than the preset value. When the detection mechanism 15 detects that the cleaning liquid is greater than or equal to the preset value, the water pump 16 stops replenishing.
