The present application provides a cleaning base station, including a base, a cleaning tank for cleaning wipers, and a first sewage tank for storing sewage. The cleaning tank is arranged in the base, an entrance is arranged on the base for a cleaning robot to enter the cleaning tank, a side of the base is defined with an opening configured for allowing the cleaning tank to be taken out, and the first sewage tank is connected to the cleaning tank. In the cleaning base station, by connecting the first sewage tank to the cleaning tank, and defining an opening on the side of the base, when cleaning the first sewage tank and the cleaning tank and taking out the cleaning tank from the base, the first sewage tank is disassembled to take out the cleaning tank and the first sewage tank at one time.

The cleaning base station includes a base, and an air supply device. The base is provided with a docking position for docking the cleaning robot and a working groove with a top opening. The mopping member of the cleaning robot is located above the working groove when the cleaning robot is docked at the docking position. The air supply device is arranged on the base. An output end of the air supply device is connected to at least one air outlet arranged in the working groove. 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 to the mopping member.

A method for cleaning the mop of a cleaning robot includes: obtaining mop usage information after the cleaning robot carries the mop to clean the floor, and selecting a target mop cleaning mode to clean the mop according to the mop usage information.

The cleaning control method for a cleaning robot includes: the base station performs a round of cleaning on a cleaning component of the cleaning robot according to a set cleaning strategy; the base station detects a dirtiness of the sewage after cleaning after completing a round of cleaning, to obtain a detection result; and the base station performs a next round of cleaning control on the cleaning robot according to the detection result.

An autonomous coverage robot includes a chassis, a drive system configured to maneuver the robot, and a cleaning assembly. The cleaning assembly includes a cleaning assembly housing and at least one driven sweeper brush. The robot includes a controller and a removable sweeper bin configured to receive debris agitated by the driven sweeper brush. The sweeper bin includes an emitter disposed on an interior surface of the bin and a receiver disposed remotely from the emitter on the interior surface of the bin and configured to receive an emitter signal. The emitter and the receiver are disposed such that a threshold level of accumulation of debris in the sweeper bin blocks the receiver from receiving emitter emissions. The robot includes a bin controller disposed in the sweeper bin and monitoring a detector signal and initiating a bin full routine upon determining a bin debris accumulation level requiring service.

A maintenance station for a cleaning robot includes a base, a cleaning container, and a dirt receiving component. The cleaning container is positioned on the base and configured to clean a cleaning component of the cleaning robot. The dirt receiving component is detachably positioned below the cleaning container and includes a sewage collection chamber. Sewage produced in the cleaning container is capable of automatically flowing into the sewage collection chamber by gravity.

The present application provides a docking station including a cleaning system disposed in a base thereof. The cleaning system includes a cutting chamber, an upper end cover, and a lower end cover; and the cutting chamber is configured to receive a to-be-cleaned object, and the upper end cover is detachably connected to an upper end of the cutting chamber; the lower end cover is disposed at a lower end of the cutting chamber and rotatably connected with the cutting chamber; the to-be-cleaned object is detachably fixed to the lower end cover; and a blade assembly configured to clean the to-be-cleaned object is provided at an inner wall of the cutting chamber. The docking station may clean the to-be-cleaned object, such as a roller brush of a robot cleaner, while charging the robot cleaner, which provides an auxiliary function, extends the applicability and is more convenient for home use.

The present disclosure discloses a cleaning base station. The cleaning base station includes a base and a vibration device. The vibration device includes a driving mechanism and a cleaning element. The driving mechanism is fixed to the base. The cleaning element is connected to the driving mechanism. The cleaning element is configured to contact a part-to-be-cleaned of a cleaning robot. The driving mechanism drives the cleaning element to vibrate so as to clean the part-to-be-cleaned of the cleaning robot. The present disclosure also discloses a cleaning robot system using the cleaning base station described above. The present disclosure has the advantages of reducing a user's burden of manual cleaning and avoiding contamination of a floor surface by the part-to-be-cleaned of the cleaning robot.

An autonomous coverage robot includes a chassis, a drive system configured to maneuver the robot, and a cleaning assembly. The cleaning assembly includes a cleaning assembly housing and at least one driven sweeper brush. The robot includes a controller and a removable sweeper bin configured to receive debris agitated by the driven sweeper brush. The sweeper bin includes an emitter disposed on an interior surface of the bin and a receiver disposed remotely from the emitter on the interior surface of the bin and configured to receive an emitter signal. The emitter and the receiver are disposed such that a threshold level of accumulation of debris in the sweeper bin blocks the receiver from receiving emitter emissions. The robot includes a bin controller disposed in the sweeper bin and monitoring a detector signal and initiating a bin full routine upon determining a bin debris accumulation level requiring service.

A cleaning system is provided. The cleaning system includes a robot cleaner and a station. The robot cleaner includes a pad fixing part on which a cleaning pad is detachably mounted, a lifter to lift a part of the robot cleaner at which the pad fixing part is positioned, and a pad detacher to detach the cleaning pad mounted on the pad fixing part. The station includes a pad storage box in which a cleaning pad that is to be provided to the robot cleaner is stored, a pad coupling part on which a cleaning pad that is to be coupled to the robot cleaner is rested, and a pad supplier to supply the cleaning pad stored in the pad storage box to the pad coupling part.
