When the partition 13 moves, the through hole 131 can communicate with the first air outlet 114 to form a first air channel or communicate with the second air outlet 115 to form a second air channel.

Referring to fig. 7 and 8, an accommodating groove 134 may be disposed at the lower portion of the housing 11, and the accommodating groove 134 is located below the cover 12 and above the air outlet 113. The partition 13 is placed in the accommodation groove 134. The receiving groove 134 has the same size as the second bottom wall 119 of the housing in the lengthwise direction of the dust collecting station 10, and the partition plate 13 has a size smaller than the second bottom wall 119. The partition 13 can move in the accommodating groove 134 in the lengthwise direction of the dust collecting station 10. Such as the partition 13, can be electrically connected to the control means for movement along the length of the dust collection station 10 under the control of the control means.

The partition 13 enables the through-hole 131 to communicate with one of the first and

second air outlets

114 and 115 to form one of the first and second air paths while moving in the lengthwise direction of the dust collecting station 10.

Specifically, referring to fig. 6, the through holes 131 of the partition 13 include a first through hole 132 and a second through hole 133. The size of the second through hole 133 is not smaller than the size of the first through hole 132 along the length direction of the partition 13, for example, the length of the second through hole 133 is not smaller than the length of the first through hole 132 and is not greater than 2 times the length of the first through hole 132.

When the partition 13 is moved along the length direction of the dust collecting station 10 along the first predetermined direction, the second through hole 133 can communicate with the first air outlet 114 to open the first air duct, so as to clean the dust box 23 of the sweeper 20, which is described in detail with reference to fig. 6 and 7. The first predetermined direction may be a left direction in fig. 6 to 8.

When the partition 13 is moved along a second predetermined direction (e.g. a right direction in fig. 6 to 8) opposite to the first predetermined direction along the length direction of the dust collecting station 10, the first through hole 132 and the second through hole 133 can be respectively communicated with the second air outlets 115 at two sides of the first air outlet 114, that is, the first through hole 132 is communicated with the second air outlet 115 at the left side of the first air outlet 114, and the second through hole 133 is communicated with the second air outlet 115 at the right side of the first air outlet 114, so as to open the second air duct, and clean the body of the sweeper 20 and other components, specifically refer to fig. 6 and 8.

In order to collect the garbage falling from the sweeper 20, a dust collection box 14 is preferably provided at a lower portion of the housing 11. Specifically, the dust box 14 may be provided inside the housing 11 located below the lid 12. When the dust collecting station 10 cleans the sweeper 20, the cleaning air flowing through the first air duct and the second air duct flows to the dust collecting box 14, flows through the dust collecting box 14, enters the air draft device 16, and flows out of the dust collecting station 10 through the air outlet 161 of the air draft device 16.

The blocking pieces 141 are preferably arranged in the dust collection box 14 at intervals to generate a certain blocking effect on larger-particle garbage, so that the larger-particle garbage is deposited at the bottom of the dust collection box 14, the phenomenon that the air duct is blocked due to the fact that more garbage is suspended at the upper part of the dust collection box 14 is effectively prevented, the power of the air draft device 16 is favorably reduced, and the cost and the noise are further reduced.

Further, a filter 142, such as a screen, is disposed at the end of the dust box 14 that communicates with the air extractor 16 to effectively prevent larger particles of dust from entering the air extractor 16 and becoming clogged.

Furthermore, the invention discloses a cleaning system 1, which cleaning system 1 comprises the dust collecting station 10 and the sweeper 20 mentioned above. Through the cooperation of the structures of the dust collection station 10 and the sweeper 20, the dust collection station 10 can simultaneously realize efficient storage, charging and cleaning of the sweeper 20.
