DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the disclosure are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the disclosure. Apparently, the described embodiments are merely some embodiments rather than all embodiments of the disclosure. Based on the embodiments of the disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts fall within the scope of protection of the disclosure.

In order to package and store a debris collection base 1000 conveniently, an embodiment of the disclosure provides a debris collection base 1000. With reference to FIGS. 1-5, the debris collection base 1000 is used for cooperation with a cleaning robot 2100. The debris collection base 1000 includes a body 100, a bearing seat module 200, and a fan 300.

The body 100 includes a first splicing end 100a, a debris collection cavity 100b spaced apart from the first splicing end 100a, and a debris collection channel 100c extending from the first splicing end 100a to be in communication with the debris collection cavity 100b.

Both the debris collection channel 100c and the debris collection cavity 100b may be formed by cavities on the body 100. The debris collection channel 100c may also be formed by a pipeline structure mounted on the body 100. The debris collection cavity 100b may also be formed by a housing container structure or a debris collection bag mounted on the body 100. The specific formation ways of the debris collection channel 100c and the debris collection cavity 100b is not specifically limited herein. The debris collection cavity 100b may store debris, paper scraps, etc. temporarily.

The bearing seat module 200 is used for bearing the cleaning robot 2100. The bearing seat module 200 includes a second splicing end 200a, a debris collection opening 200b spaced apart from the second splicing end 200a, and a debris inlet channel 200c extending from the second splicing end 200a to be in communication with the debris collection opening 200b. The second splicing end 200a is capable of being spliced with the first splicing end 100a or separated from the first splicing end 100a. The debris inlet channel 200c is in hermetical communication with the debris collection channel 100c when the first splicing end 100a is spliced with the second splicing end 200a, so that debris of the cleaning robot 2100 may be conveyed to the debris collection cavity 100b through the debris collection opening 200b, the debris inlet channel 200c, and the debris collection channel 100c in sequence.

In an embodiment of the disclosure, the first splicing end 100a is arranged at a lower portion of a side end of the body 100, and the second splicing end 200a is arranged at a side end of the bearing seat module 200 correspondingly. In other embodiments, the first splicing end 100a may also be arranged at a lower end of the body 100a, and the second splicing end 200a may also be arranged on an upper surface of the bearing seat module 200 correspondingly.

The debris collection opening 200b may be of a rectangle, a circle, or a kidney shape, etc., which will not be specifically listed herein. The debris inlet channel 200c may be formed by a cavity on the bearing seat module 200. The debris inlet channel 200c may also be formed by a pipeline structure mounted on the bearing seat module 200. The specific formation way of the debris inlet channel 200c is not specifically limited herein.

The fan 300 is fixedly connected with the body 100. The fan 300 is in pneumatic communication with the debris collection cavity 100b. The fan 300 is used for driving air to flow, so as to generate negative pressure in the debris collection cavity 100b, thereby sucking the debris stored in the cleaning robot 2100 into the debris collection cavity 100b.

The fan 300 may be mounted in the body 100. The fan 300 may also be mounted outside the body 100, which will not be specifically limited herein. There are numerous types of fans 300. The fan may be a centrifugal fan, a negative pressure fan, or a high pressure fan, which will not be specifically limited herein. The fan 300 may drive air to flow from the debris collection opening 200b to enter the debris collection cavity 100b, so as to suck the debris stored in the cleaning robot 2100. In other embodiments, the fan 300 may also drive air in the debris collection cavity 100b to flow towards the debris collection opening 200b, so as to discharge debris in the debris collection cavity 100b.

When the cleaning robot 2100 is required to discharge the debris, firstly, the first splicing end 100a of the body 100 is spliced with the second splicing end 200a of the bearing seat module 200, so as to assemble the debris collection base 1000 for use. Then the cleaning robot 2100 moves to the debris collection opening 200b of the bearing seat module 200 or is placed at the debris collection opening 200b of the bearing seat module 200. Finally, the fan 300 works to drive air to enter the debris collection cavity 100b from the debris collection opening 200b, so that dust, paper scraps, etc. in the cleaning robot 2100 are sucked into the debris collection cavity 100b through the debris collection opening 200b, the debris inlet channel 200c, and the debris collection channel 100c in sequence. Therefore, the cleaning robot 2100 is capable of discharging the debris.

When packaging or storing the debris collection base 1000, firstly, the first splicing end 100a of the body 100 is separated from the second splicing end 200a of the bearing seat module 200, and the body 100 and the bearing seat module 200 are maintained separately. Then the body 100 and the bearing seat module 200 are stacked together to be packaged or stored.

According to the technical solution described above, the debris collection base 1000 is divided into the body 100 and the bearing seat module 200 which may be spliced with each other or separated from each other. The bearing seat module 200 serves as a base of a debris collection base 1000 in the prior art, so that a size of the bearing seat module 200 is reduced, so that the bearing seat module 200 does not tend to store retained debris and occupies a small space. Therefore, the debris collection base 1000 is maintained conveniently. Moreover, the debris collection base 1000 is packaged and stored conveniently.

There are numerous ways to splice the first splicing end 100a with the second splicing end 200a or separate the first splicing end 100a from the second splicing end 200a. With reference to FIG. 1, in an embodiment of the disclosure, the debris collection base 1000 includes at least one locking member 400. The locking member 400 is arranged at the first splicing end 100a or the second splicing end 200a, and the locking member 400 is used for locking or unlocking the first splicing end 100a and the second splicing end 200a.

According to the technical solution described above, the first splicing end 100a and the second splicing end 200a are locked under an action of the locking member 400. Therefore, the first splicing end 100a may be spliced with the second splicing end 200a. The first splicing end 100a and the second splicing end 200a are unlocked under the action of the locking member 400. Therefore, the first splicing end 100a may be separated from the second splicing end 200a.

In an embodiment of the disclosure, two locking members 400 are provided, and the two locking members 400 are arranged on two sides, opposite each other, of the debris collection base 1000, respectively. Therefore, a connection strength between the first splicing end 100a and the second splicing end 200a during splicing may be ensured. In other embodiments, one, three, four, five, six or more locking members 400 may be provided.

There are numerous types of locking members 400 described above. With reference to FIG. 1, in an embodiment of the disclosure, a surface, close to the first splicing end 100a, of the body 100 is concavely provided with a first mounting groove 100f, and a surface, close to the second splicing end 200a, of the bearing seat module is concavely provided with a second mounting groove 200e. The first mounting groove 100f is penetrated at a side adjacent to the bearing seat module, and the second mounting groove 200e is penetrated at a side adjacent to the body 100, so that the first mounting groove 100f is in communication with the second mounting groove 200e.

The locking member 400 includes a first hook 410 and a second hook 420 cooperated with the first hook 410. A portion, away from a hook portion, of the first hook 410 is rotatably mounted in the first mounting groove 100f through a rotary shaft. Two ends of the rotary shaft are arranged on two inner walls, opposite each other, of the first mounting groove 100f, respectively. The first hook 410 may cooperate with the second hook 420 or the first hook 410 may not cooperate with the second hook 420 by rotating the first hook 410 forwards or reversely, respectively.

When assembling the debris collection base 1000, firstly, the first splicing end 100a abuts against the second splicing end 200a, and then the first hook 410 is rotated forwards until the first hook 410 cooperates with the second hook 420. Therefore, the debris collection base 1000 is assembled. When disassembling the debris collection base 1000, firstly, the first hook 410 is rotated reversely until the first hook 410 does not cooperate with the second hook 420, and then the first splicing end 100a is separated from the second splicing end 200a. Therefore, the debris collection base 1000 is disassembled.

In an embodiment of the disclosure, both the first hook 410 and the second hook 420 are elastic hooks, so that the first hook 410 may not cooperate with the second hook 420 conveniently. In addition, when the first hook 410 cooperates with the second hook 420, one side, facing away from the second hook 420, of the first hook 410 is coplanar with a surface of the debris collection base 1000. Therefore, a flatness of the surface of the debris collection base 1000 is ensured. In other embodiments, both the first hook 410 and the second hook 420 may also protrude relative to the surface of the debris collection base 1000.

There are numerous types of locking members 400 described above. With reference to FIG. 6, in another embodiment of the disclosure, a locking member 400 includes a male buckle 400a of a plastic plug-in buckle and a female buckle 400b of the plastic plug-in buckle which cooperates with the male buckle 400a of the plastic plug-in buckle in an inserted manner.

The male buckle 400a is mounted on a surface, close to the first splicing end 100a, of the body 100, and the female buckle 400b is mounted on a surface, close to the second splicing end 200a, of the bearing seat module 200. The male buckle 400a is inserted into the female buckle 400b when the first splicing end 100a is spliced with the second splicing end 200a.

When assembling the debris collection base 1000, the first splicing end 100a abuts against the second splicing end 200a to drive the male buckle 400a to be inserted into the female buckle 400b. Therefore, the debris collection base 1000 is assembled. When disassembling the debris collection base 1000, the male buckle 400a is pressed to pull out the male buckle 400a from the female buckle 400b, so as to drive the first splicing end 100a to be separated from the second splicing end 200a. Therefore, the debris collection base 1000 is disassembled.

In order to enable the debris inlet channel 200c to be in hermetical communication with the debris collection channel 100c, with reference to FIGS. 1-5, the debris collection base 1000 includes an elastic member 500. The elastic member 500 is fixed at one end, away from the debris collection cavity 100b, of the debris collection channel 100c, or fixed at one end, away from the debris collection opening 200b, of the debris inlet channel 200c. When the locking member 400 locks the first splicing end 100a and the second splicing end 200a, the elastic member 500 is elastically compressed between the first splicing end 100a and the second splicing end 200a and hermetically connects the debris inlet channel 200c and the debris collection channel 100c. Therefore, the debris inlet channel 200c is in hermetical communication with the debris collection channel 100c.

The elastic member 500 is arranged as a closed loop. The elastic member 500 itself may be arranged as the closed loop, or the elastic member 500 may be arranged as a closed loop by connecting an elastic strip having a certain width end to end, which will not be specifically limited herein. The elastic member 500 may also be replaced with a rubber ring, a plastic ring, etc.

In an embodiment of the disclosure, a surface of one end, away from the debris collection cavity 100b, of the debris collection channel 100c is concavely provided with a sealing groove 110c arranged in a peripheral direction of the debris collection channel 100c. One axial end of the elastic member 500 is mounted on a surface of one end, away from the debris collection opening 200b, of the debris inlet channel 200c in a peripheral direction of the debris inlet channel 200c. The other axial end of the elastic member 500 is snap-fitted with the sealing groove 110c. In other embodiments, a surface of one end, away from the debris collection opening 200b, of the debris inlet channel 200c may also be concavely provided with a sealing groove 110c arranged in a peripheral direction of the debris inlet channel 200c. One axial end of the elastic member 500 is mounted on a surface of one end, away from the debris collection cavity 100b, of the debris collection channel 100c in a peripheral direction of the debris collection channel 100c. The other axial end of the elastic member 500 is snap-fitted with the sealing groove 110c.

According to the technical solution described above, when the first splicing end 100a is spliced with the second splicing end 200a, the elastic member 500 is elastically compressed between the first splicing end 100a and the second splicing end 200a, and one end, away from the debris inlet channel 200c, of the elastic member 500 is snap-fitted with the sealing groove 110c. Therefore, a sealing performance of a communication portion between the debris inlet channel 200c and the debris collection channel 100c may be enhanced.

In order to splice the first splicing end 100a with the second splicing end 200a conveniently, with reference to FIGS. 1-5, in an embodiment of the disclosure, the first splicing end 100a is provided with at least one first positioning portion 110a on a peripheral side of the elastic member 500, and the second splicing end 200a is provided with at least one second positioning portion 210a docked with the at least one first positioning portion 110a in an inserted manner. Therefore, the first splicing end 100a may be spliced with the second splicing end 200a conveniently, thereby improving a splicing efficiency between the first splicing end 100a and the second splicing end 200a.

In an embodiment of the disclosure, the first splicing end 100a is provided with the first positioning portions 110a on two sides, opposite each other, of the elastic member 500, respectively, and the second splicing end 200a is provided with the second positioning portions 210a on two sides, opposite each other, of the elastic member 500 correspondingly.

The first bearing surface 100d is smoothly connected with the second bearing surface 200d when the first splicing end 100a is spliced with the second splicing end 200a.

In an embodiment of the disclosure, the body 100 is concavely provided with an accommodation space 100e for partially accommodating the cleaning robot 2100. The accommodation space 100e is configured to form the first bearing surface 100d. The first bearing surface 100d is one side, close to the ground, of the accommodation space 100e, and the second bearing surface 200d is configured as the upper surface of the bearing seat module 200 correspondingly. Therefore, the bearing seat module 200 may bear the cleaning robot 2100 conveniently. In other embodiments, the first bearing surface 100d may also be a side surface of the body 100, and the second bearing surface 200d is configured as a side surface of the bearing seat module 200 correspondingly. Both the side surface of the body 100 and the side surface of the bearing seat module 200 may be arranged vertically, and both the side surface of the body 100 and the side surface of the bearing seat module 200 may also be arranged obliquely, which will not be specifically limited herein.

In an embodiment of the disclosure, the second bearing surface 200d is a slope surface, so that the cleaning robot 2100 may move along the second bearing surface 200d to the debris collection opening 200b to discharge the debris. Therefore, the cleaning robot 2100 may discharge the debris intelligently. In other embodiments, the second bearing surface 200d may also be a horizontal surface.

In order to charge the cleaning robot 2100 conveniently, with reference to FIG. 1, in an embodiment of the disclosure, the debris collection base 1000 includes charging contacts 110d arranged on the first bearing surface 100d, a front wheel positioning groove 120d provided on the first bearing surface 100d, and a pair of driving wheel positioning grooves 210d provided on the second bearing surface 200d.
