- As shown in
FIGS. 1 and 2 , the embodiment of the present disclosure provides acleaning base station 10 for storing thecleaning robot 100 and drying themopping member 101. Even further, thecleaning base station 10 may be configured to clean themopping member 101 of thecleaning robot 100 and then dry themopping member 101. - Specifically, the
cleaning base station 10 includes abase 11 and anair supply device 20, which form a drying subsystem of thecleaning base station 10 for drying themopping member 101. In this circumstance, thecleaning base station 10 directly blows an airflow to themopping member 101 for drying. Thebase 11 is provided with a docking position for docking thecleaning robot 100 and anaccommodating space 111 corresponding to themopping member 101 of thecleaning robot 100. Thebase 11 is provided with a working groove, and theaccommodating space 111 is an upper space corresponding to the working groove, that is, themopping member 101 of thecleaning robot 100 is located in theaccommodating space 111 above the working groove when thecleaning robot 100 is docked at the docking position. Thebase 11 is provided with amounting space 112 for assembling other components, for example, theair supply device 20, that is, theair supply device 20 is arranged on thebase 11. Themounting space 112 is communicated with the outside, and theaccommodating space 111 is communicated with themounting space 112. Theair supply device 20 is arranged in themounting space 112. Theair supply device 20 is configured to inhale the airflow from the outside. The output end of theair supply device 20 is connected to at least oneair outlet 110. The at least oneair outlet 110 is provided in the working groove, so that the airflow is sent into the working groove from at least one direction, and is conveyed to the top opening of the working groove to blow toward the accommodating space, that is, the airflow blows toward themopping member 101 to dry themopping member 101, so that themopping member 101 can be kept dry when thecleaning robot 100 is stored in thecleaning base station 10. - In this embodiment, the
cleaning base station 10 further includes aheating device 30 arranged in themounting space 112 of thebase 11, and located in theairflow channel 113 between the output end of theair supply device 20 and theair outlet 110. When thecleaning robot 100 is used to clean the floor indoors, thecleaning robot 100 cyclically cleans the floor until the floor is cleaned completely. Then, thecleaning robot 100 enters thecleaning base station 10, and themopping member 101 is located in theaccommodating space 111. And then theair supply device 20 works to inhale air from the outside to generate airflow. The airflow is firstly blown through theheating device 30, so that the airflow is heated. The airflow continues to be blown to theair outlet 110 through theairflow channel 113 and enters the working groove, and finally the airflow is blown toward themopping member 101 to heat and dry themopping member 101 until themopping member 101 is dried completely. When the hot airflow is blown to themopping member 101 for drying, the hot airflow also dries other wet areas inside thecleaning base station 10 at the same time. In this way, both themopping member 101 and other wet areas inside thecleaning base station 10 are finally dried completely by the hot airflow, avoiding providing environmental conditions for breeding bacteria and mosquitoes in the cleaning base station, thereby reducing the breeding of bacteria and mosquitoes, and improving the home living environment. - Specifically, in this embodiment, the
air outlet 110 is circumferentially arranged around the working groove. More specifically, when the air outlets are more than one, theair outlets 110 are a plurality of through holes opened on the circumferential side wall of the working groove, so that the airflow enters the working groove from the plurality of through holes on the circumferential side wall of the working groove, and then is blown toward the top opening of the working groove to dry themopping member 101 in theaccommodating space 111. In this circumstance, optionally, the working groove may be a cylindrical groove, a square cylindrical groove, a spherical groove, an ellipsoidal groove or the like. - Alternatively, in this embodiment, the
air outlet 110 is configured to be an annular opening. In this circumstance, the working groove may be a cylindrical groove, a spherical groove, or an ellipsoidal groove. Theair outlet 110 of the annular opening is similar to the air outlet of a bladeless fan, so that the airflow passes through the regular orirregular airflow channel 113 and finally exits from the annular opening and blows to the moppingmember 101. - Alternatively, in this embodiment, the
air outlet 110 is provided at the bottom of the working groove, so that the airflow directly blows upward to the moppingmember 101 in theaccommodating space 111 with the top opening after entering the working groove from theair outlet 110 at the bottom of the working groove. - Alternatively, in this embodiment, the
air outlet 110 may be a combination of at least two of the above-mentioned methods. - As shown in
FIG. 1 , in thecleaning base station 10 of this embodiment, the working groove is a sewage collection cavity, and theaccommodating space 111 is located above the sewage collection cavity. A cleaning plate (not shown in the figures) is provided in the sewage collection cavity. After thecleaning robot 100 is docked at the docking position, the moppingmember 101 is placed on the cleaning plate, so that the moppingmember 101 can be cleaned. During the cleaning process of the moppingmember 101, the liquid dripping from the cleaning plate merges into the sewage collection cavity (in this circumstance, the cleaning plate may be provided with holes, and the liquid after cleaning the moppingmember 101 flows into the sewage collection cavity from these holes). The sewage is stored, or is directly discharged by a sewer connected to the sewage collection cavity. The sewage collection cavity is connected to the mountingspace 112 through theairflow channel 113, and a gap is provided between the circumferential edge of the cleaning plate and the cavity wall of the sewage collection cavity, so that the heated airflow from theair outlet 110 passes through the sewage collection cavity through theairflow channel 113. The relatively high-temperature airflow can sterilize some bacteria in the sewage collection cavity, and dry the inside of the sewage collection cavity, so that it is not easy to appear peculiar smell. Then, the airflow continues to blow to the moppingmember 101 located in theaccommodating space 111 from the gap between the circumferential edge of the cleaning plate and the cavity wall of the sewage collection cavity, to dry the moppingmember 101 of thecleaning robot 100. - Alternatively, in this embodiment, the working groove is the cleaning
groove 115, theaccommodating space 111 is located above the cleaninggroove 115. Auniform air space 114 is formed below the cleaninggroove 115, and theuniform air space 114 becomes a part of theairflow channel 113. The at least oneair outlet 110 provided on thecleaning groove 115 is communicated with theuniform air space 114. When the air outlets are more than one, theair outlets 110 are a plurality of through holes opened on the circumferential groove wall or/and the bottom wall of thecleaning groove 115, so that the airflow in theuniform air space 114 enters the working groove from the plurality of through holes at the same time and blows to the top opening of the working groove to dry the moppingmember 101 located in theaccommodating space 111. Alternatively, in this embodiment, when the air outlet is one, theair outlet 110 may be a gap opened between the cleaninggroove 115 and theuniform air space 114, and the gap may be an annular gap. In this circumstance, the airflow passes through the gap and blows to the top opening of the working groove to dry the moppingmember 101 in theaccommodating space 111. The moppingmember 101 is suspended on thecleaning groove 115 when the cleaningrobot 100 is docked at the docking position. As shown inFIG. 4 , if the moppingmember 101 of thecleaning robot 100 is a circular member, the cleaninggroove 115 may be designed as a circular groove to allow the moppingmember 101 to pass through, that is, a vertical projection of thecircular mopping member 101 on thecleaning groove 115 is within the area of the bottom of thecleaning groove 115. In addition, in this circumstance, thecleaning base station 10 further includes aspray mechanism 40, a drivingdevice 50, and ascraping plate 60. Thespray mechanism 40 is arranged on the bottom of thecleaning groove 115, which is configured to spray liquid to the moppingmember 101 for cleaning (in this circumstance, thecleaning base station 10 is no longer provided with the cleaning plate, and thespray mechanism 40 directly spray liquid on the moppingmember 101 to clean the mopping member 101). In this way, the liquid dripping from the moppingmember 101 is received by the cleaninggroove 115. Theuniform air space 114 is provided with awater collecting tank 116, and thecleaning groove 115 is in communicated with thewater collecting tank 116, that is, after thecleaning groove 115 receives the liquid, the liquid flows into thewater collecting tank 116 for storage. When thewater collecting tank 116 is almost full, thewater collecting tank 116 is taken out to be poured out the stored liquid, and then the emptywater collecting tank 116 is put in place. As shown inFIGS. 1, 2 and 4 , the drivingdevice 50 is mounted on thebase 11, and thescraping plate 60 is movably mounted on thebase 11. One end of the scrapingplate 60 extends to the area where the cleaninggroove 115 is and squeezes the mopping member, and the other end of the scrapingplate 60 is connected to the power output structure of the drivingdevice 50. After thespray mechanism 40 cleans the moppingmember 101, the drivingdevice 50 drives the scrapingplate 60 to move relative to the moppingmember 101 to squeeze out the liquid in the moppingmember 101, that is, the scrapingplate 60 is driven by the drivingdevice 50 to reciprocate along the YY′ direction shown inFIG. 4 to scrape the moppingmember 101, thereby scraping the liquid in the moppingmember 101 as dry as possible. In this way, before the drying subsystem performs drying work on the moppingmember 101, the scrapingplate 60 is configured to squeeze the moisture in the moppingmember 101 as much as possible, and then theair supply device 20 of the drying subsystem is configured to inhale air to form the airflow. The airflow is heated by theheating device 30, and the heated airflow enters theuniform air space 114 through theairflow channel 113, and then the airflow in theuniform air space 114 evenly exits theair outlet 110 into the cleaninggroove 115. The airflow is finally blown upwards to dry the moppingmember 101, thereby further improving the drying efficiency of the moppingmember 101. - Alternatively, in this embodiment, the working groove is a groove provided on the
base 11. The groove may be formed by a detachable or non-detachable member, for example, it is formed by a detachable box, the inner space of which is the groove. The groove may also be formed by directly recessing inward on thebase 11. The working groove may be configured to arrange acleaning groove 115. Specifically, thecleaning base station 10 further includes a partition (not shown in the figures), which is provided in the working groove to divide the working groove into acleaning groove 115 and a sewage collection cavity (the partition may be a groove-shaped member, and the groove space in the groove-shaped member is the cleaning groove 115). One or more theair outlets 110 are arranged on the partition to communicate thecleaning groove 115 with the sewage collection cavity, and the remainingair outlets 110 are arranged on the circumferential side wall of thecleaning groove 115. The sewage collection cavity is communicated with theairflow channel 113. In this way, the airflow inhaled by theair supply device 20 is heated by theheating device 30 and firstly enters the sewage collection cavity along the airflow channel 113 (of course, the airflow inhaled by theair supply device 20 can also enter the sewage collection cavity without being heated, that is, theairflow channel 113 is not provided with the heating device 30), and then the airflow enters the cleaninggroove 115 from the sewage collection cavity, and finally blows to the moppingmember 101 located in theaccommodating space 111. In this circumstance, a support column may be provided where thewater collection cavity 116 is located shown inFIG. 1 , namely below the cleaninggroove 115, to support the cleaninggroove 115, so as to form a continuous annular opening between the circumferential side wall of the working groove and the opening periphery of thecleaning groove 115. The annular opening constitutes one theair outlet 110 in this case. In addition, one or more through holes provided on the partition constitutes one or more air outlets 110 (i.e. the through holes connecting thecleaning groove 115 to the sewage collection cavity), and theaccommodating space 111 is located above the cleaninggroove 115. When the sewage collection cavity is almost full, the sewage is discharged through the sewage pipe connected to the sewage collection cavity. The sewage pipe may be connected to the outside or the sewage tank. After the sewage is discharged, the airflow provided by theair supply device 20 directly passes through the sewage collection cavity after discharging sewage, and dry the sewage collection cavity for storing sewage by blowing. The airflow is divided into two airflows in two directions after passing through the sewage collection cavity. One airflow in one direction exits through the annular opening, and the other airflow exits through the through hole at the bottom of thecleaning groove 115, and both airflows can eventually be directed to the moppingmember 101. The airflow provided by theair supply device 20 in this manner can dry the sewage collection cavity, the cleaning groove and the moppingmember 101 at the same time. - In the
cleaning base station 10 of this embodiment, thecleaning base station 10 further includes a control module (not shown in the figures) arranged on thebase 11. The control module is communicatively connected to theair supply device 20, theheating device 30, thespray mechanism 40, the drivingdevice 50, and the control unit in the cleaning robot 100 (by a wired communication connection or by a wireless communication connection). The control module can control theair supply device 20, theheating device 30, thespray mechanism 40, the drivingdevice 50 and thecleaning robot 100 to perform work by installed predetermined work programs. In addition, thecleaning base station 10 further includes a position sensing device (not shown in the figures. The position sensing device is communicatively connected to the control module (either by a wired communication connection or by a wireless communication connection) and the control unit in thecleaning robot 100. In this way, the position sensing device is configured to detect the relative position between the moppingmember 101 of thecleaning robot 100 and theaccommodating space 111 in real time, and transmits the relative position information to the control module. When the position sensing device detects that the moppingmember 101 is already located in theaccommodating space 111, the control module controls thespray mechanism 40 to clean the moppingmember 101. The control module controls thespray mechanism 40 to stop the cleaning work after thespray mechanism 40 cleans the moppingmember 101 for a period of time (the cleaning time can be set in the control module according to practice needs, and in the cleaning time the moppingmember 101 can be cleaned by spraying). Then, the control module controls the drivingdevice 50 to drive the scrapingplate 60 to scrape the moppingmember 101. The drivingdevice 50 drives the scrapingplate 60 to reciprocate several times, thereby squeezing the moisture in the moppingmember 101 as much as possible. Then, the control module controls theair supply device 20 and theheating device 30 to operate to dry the moppingmember 101 until the moppingmember 101 is completely dried (the duration of the drying work can be set in the control module according to practice needs). - In addition, an
air inlet assembly 70 is arranged at the air inlet position where the mountingspace 112 is communicated with the outside, and theair inlet assembly 70 is configured to filter the intake air and block the bulky debris. -
FIG. 3 andFIG. 4 are structural views of another feasible implementation manner of thecleaning base station 10 according to the embodiment of the present disclosure. In this embodiment, the working groove is a cleaning groove 115 (or the working groove is divided into acleaning groove 115 and a sewage collection cavity by the partition), and a plurality ofair outlet openings 120 are provided on the circumferential position of a top of the side wall of thecleaning groove 115. Theseair outlet openings 120 are all communicated with the uniform air space 114 (alternatively, theseair outlet openings 120 are communicated with the sewage collection chamber. Theuniform air space 114 is taken as an illustration below). So a part of the airflow in theuniform air space 114 enters the cleaninggroove 115 from theair outlet 110 and blows upward to the moppingmember 101 for drying, and other part of the airflow directly blows out from theair outlet openings 120 to blow to the moppingmember 101 for drying at the same time. - When the cleaning robot is used to clean the floor indoors, the cleaning robot cyclically cleans the floor until the floor is completely cleaned. Then, the cleaning robot enters the cleaning base station and stops, and the mopping member is located on the working groove of the cleaning base station. The air supply device works to inhale air from the outside to generate the airflow. The output end of the air supply device is communicated with at least one air outlet, and the airflow blows to the mopping member through the air outlet, thereby drying the mopping member until the mopping member is completely dried. When the airflow blows to the mopping member for drying, the airflow also dries the wet areas inside the cleaning base station. In this way, both the mopping member and the wet areas inside the cleaning base station are eventually and completely dried by the airflow, avoiding providing environmental conditions for breeding bacteria and mosquitoes in the cleaning base station, thereby reducing the breeding of bacteria and mosquitoes and improving the home living environment.
- According to another aspect of the present disclosure, provided is a cleaning robot system. Specifically, the cleaning robot system includes a
cleaning robot 100 and the aforementionedcleaning base station 10.FIG. 5 is a block diagram of a working process of the cleaning robot system. When the cleaningrobot 100 is in an initial state of thecleaning base station 10, the moppingmember 101 is in a clean and dry state at this time. When the user operates the control module of thecleaning base station 10 to start a predetermined work program for cleaning the floor, the control module firstly controls thespray mechanism 40 to spray liquid to the moppingmember 101 to clean the moppingmember 101. And then the control module controls the scrapingplate 60 to scrape the moppingmember 101. At this time, the moppingmember 101 is in a wet state suitable for mopping and cleaning the floor, and then the control module controls the cleaningrobot 100 to leave thecleaning base station 10 to mop and clean the floor. After thecleaning robot 100 mops the floor for a period of time (at this time, the moppingelement 101 is relatively dirty after mopping the floor for the period of time), the control module controls the cleaningrobot 100 to return to thecleaning base station 10. When the control module determines that the cleaningrobot 100 has not completed mopping and cleaning the floor, it controls thespray mechanism 40 to clean the moppingmember 101, and then controls the scrapingplate 60 to scrape the moppingmember 101, and then controls the cleaningrobot 100 to leave thecleaning base station 10 and continue to mopping and cleaning the floor. When the control module determines that the cleaningrobot 100 has completed mopping and cleaning the floor, it controls thespray mechanism 40 to clean the moppingmember 101, and then controls the scrapingplate 60 to scrape the moppingmember 101, and then controls theair supply device 20 and theheating device 30 to work to dry the moppingmember 101 until the moppingmember 101 is completely dried. In addition, the control module transmits a notification instruction of finishing mopping and cleaning the floor to the control unit in thecleaning robot 100, thereby controlling thecleaning robot 100 to stay in thecleaning base station 10, in other word, the work of the cleaning robot system has ended. At this time, the cleaning robot system is in a standby state, waiting for the user to operate the control module of thecleaning base station 10 again to start a preset program for cleaning the floor. - Described above are only the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure, which are not intended to limit the present disclosure. Any modification, equivalent replacement and improvement made within the spirit and principle of the present disclosure shall be included within the protection scope of the present disclosure.
