This application discloses a control method for a
surface cleaning device. The
surface cleaning device includes a floor
brush with cleaning components and a suction
system for removing
dirt. The floor
brush includes a housing, on which are a movable front scraper located in front of the cleaning components and a floor scraper located behind the cleaning components and in contact with the ground. When the floor
brush moves forward, the front scraper moves upward away from the ground; when the floor brush moves backward, the front scraper moves downward and in contact with the ground. The method includes reducing the operating power of the suction
system when the floor brush moves backward. In this application, when the floor brush moves backward, the front scraper contacts the ground, and together with the floor scraper in contact with the ground, the brush chamber and the ground form a relatively sealed space. Under the action of the front scraper, the floor scraper, and the suction
airflow of the suction
system, the resistance of the floor brush to the ground increases. At this time, reducing the operating power of the suction system can ensure the
dirt removal effect of the
surface cleaning device and reduce the operating resistance of the floor brush to the ground, thus ensuring the cleaning effect.
