Abstract

The present disclosure relates to the field of cleaning robot technology, and in particular to a base station which is adapted for cooperating with a cleaning robot having a mop member that is configured to mop a floor, the base station includes a base station body and a mop member cleaning device arranged on the base station body, and the mop member cleaning device being configured to clean the mop member; the base station further includes a cleaning fluid supply device configured to supply cleaning fluid for cleaning the mop member; and a dirty fluid collection device configured to collect the cleaning fluid after the base station cleaning the mop member.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A base station, adapted for cooperating with a cleaning robot having a mop member that is configured to mop a floor, the base station comprising a base station body and a mop member cleaning device arranged on the base station body, and the mop member cleaning device being configured to clean the mop member;
 wherein the base station further comprises a cleaning fluid supply device configured to supply cleaning fluid for cleaning the mop member; and a dirty fluid collection device configured to collect the cleaning fluid after the base station cleans the mop member.   
     
     
         2 . The base station of  claim 1 , wherein the mop member cleaning device comprises a cleaning notch, the cleaning notch is configured to place the mop member during the process of the mop member cleaning device cleaning the mop member. 
     
     
         3 . The base station of  claim 2 , wherein the mop member cleaning device further comprises a fluid inlet structure configured to conduct the cleaning fluid for cleaning the mop member to be sprayed on the mop member. 
     
     
         4 . The base station of  claim 3 , wherein the mop member cleaning device further comprises a fluid discharge structure configured to discharge dirty cleaning fluid after cleaning the mop member outside of the cleaning notch. 
     
     
         5 . The base station of  claim 4 , wherein the cleaning fluid supply device is connected with the fluid inlet structure, and the dirty fluid collection device is connected with the fluid discharge structure. 
     
     
         6 . The base station of  claim 1 , wherein the cleaning fluid supply device comprises a first storage unit and a first power device, the first storage unit is configured to store the cleaning fluid, the first power device is configured to drive the cleaning fluid to flow to the cleaning notch from the first storage unit; and/or, the dirty fluid collection device comprises a second storage unit, the second storage unit is configured to store the cleaning fluid after cleaning the mop member. 
     
     
         7 . The base station of  claim 6 , wherein the cleaning fluid supply device and the dirty fluid collection device are arranged at a top of the base station body and respectively located at left and right sides of the base station body; and
 the dirty fluid collection device further comprises a second power device, the second power device is configured to pump the cleaning fluid after cleaning the mop member into the second storage unit for the purpose of storage.   
     
     
         8 . The base station of  claim 7 , wherein the base station body comprises a supporting frame and a supporting-frame bottom lid disposed at a bottom of the supporting frame; and
 the cleaning fluid supply device and the dirty fluid collection device are disposed on the supporting frame, and located on two sides of the supporting frame.   
     
     
         9 . The base station of  claim 6 , wherein each of the first storage unit and the second storage unit comprises:
 a bin body;   a bin lid, covered at a top opening of the bin body;   a handle, disposed on the bin lid; and   a buckle arranged at a position where the bin body is in contact with the bin lid.   
     
     
         10 . The base station of  claim 6 , wherein the second storage unit is arranged below the cleaning notch and connected with the cleaning notch. 
     
     
         11 . A cleaning robot system, comprising a cleaning robot, the cleaning robot comprising a moving device that is configured to drive the cleaning robot to move on floor, and a cleaning device that is configured to clean the floor, the cleaning device comprising a mop device, the mop device comprising at least one mop unit, the at least one mop unit comprising a mop member that is configured to mop the floor, wherein, the cleaning robot system further comprises the base station according to  claim 1 . 
     
     
         12 . The cleaning robot system of  claim 11 , wherein the cleaning robot system further comprises a lifting mechanism, the lifting mechanism is arranged on the cleaning robot and/or the base station, the lifting mechanism is configured to lift a forward end and/or a rearward end of the cleaning robot. 
     
     
         13 . The cleaning robot system of  claim 11 , wherein the moving device comprises a moving wheel, the cleaning robot comprises a suspension device and a chassis, the suspension device is arranged at the moving wheel for elastically connecting the moving wheel and the chassis to keep the moving wheel in contact with the floor. 
     
     
         14 . The cleaning robot system of  claim 11 , wherein, the mop device further comprises a mop drive mechanism, the cleaning robot comprises a chassis, the mop drive mechanism is configured to drive the mop member of the at least one mop unit to rotate relative to the chassis, and/or, the mop drive mechanism is configured to drive the mop member of the at least one mop unit to horizontally reciprocate relative to the chassis. 
     
     
         15 . The cleaning robot system of  claim 14 , wherein, a number of the at least one mop unit is one. 
     
     
         16 . The cleaning robot system of  claim 14 , wherein, a number of the at least one mop unit is two, the mop drive mechanism is configured to drive mop members of the two mop units to rotate around a vertical axis; wherein, the mop members of the two mopping units are rotatable in a same direction or in opposite directions around the vertical axis relative to the chassis, or, the mop members of the two mopping units are alternately rotatable in the same direction or in opposite directions around the vertical axis relative to the chassis.
