[0002] With the rapid development of science and technology, various types of handheld cleaners, represented by floor scrubbers, are increasingly used in daily life, bringing great convenience to people. At present, a roller brush drying device is usually installed at the base station, through which the roller brush can be dried, and the rising hot air can also dry the body of the handheld cleaner and the base station sewage tank of the base station.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0041] In order to facilitate the understanding of the present application, the present application will be described more fully below with reference to the relevant drawings. The preferred embodiments of the present application are provided in the drawings. However, the present application can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. On the contrary, the purpose of providing these embodiments is to make the understanding of the disclosure of the present application more thorough and comprehensive.

[0042] At present, when the floor scrubber is connected to the base station for sewage discharge, the garbage in the floor scrubber's sewage tank will enter the base station's sewage tank through the pipe, and the base station will use the fan to pressurize the garbage in the base station's sewage tank into the sewer. The base station's sewage tank has a filter to separate solid garbage. When the sewage in the base station's sewage tank is discharged, water stains will remain on the wall of the sewage tank. If the garbage is not cleaned for a long time, it will form a peculiar smell. At the same time, a small amount of sewage will remain on the inner wall of the floor scrubber's sewage tank, causing a stink.

[0043] After in-depth research, it was found that after long-term use, the floor scrubber sometimes has odor problems, and the odor can be strong or weak. Through investigation and multiple long-term tests, it was found that after solid garbage was in the base station filter, the odor was strong, and after the garbage was poured out, there was still a small odor. It was found that the odor was caused by water stains in the sewage tank of the base station. The sewage tank of the floor scrubber is emptied every time after self-cleaning, but it was found that there was still a small amount of odor.

[0044] The existing solution is to add ultraviolet or ozone sterilization devices in the base station, but it cannot effectively remove odor from the sewage tank of the floor scrubber. The ultraviolet sterilization device mainly sterilizes the surface of objects and sewage. Since the sewage tank of the base station is not a regular structure, it is inevitable that it cannot be irradiated. Moreover, the filter in the sewage tank of the base station will separate the solid waste and further block the irradiation, resulting in poor effect. In ozone sterilization technology, ozone is difficult to penetrate into the solid, and the sterilization effect on solid waste is relatively small. In addition, for safety reasons, high concentrations of ozone can cause harm to the human body, and there are high requirements for the sealing of processed parts. It can be seen that the existing solution still cannot effectively solve the problems of mold and odor in floor scrubbers.

[0045] The drying method for cleaning equipment provided in the present application is applied to cleaning equipment, specifically to cleaning equipment of the type including a detachably connected handheld cleaner and a base station. After the handheld cleaner is disassembled, the cleaning operation of the surface to be cleaned can be realized by the user holding it, and after the handheld cleaner is docked with the base station, the handheld cleaner can be replenished with water, self-cleaned, charged, and discharged.

[0046] It should be noted that the types of handheld cleaners are not limited, as long as the user can use clean water to clean the surface to be cleaned and recycle the wastewater after cleaning. For example, in one embodiment, the handheld cleaner can be a handheld floor scrubber, a handheld fabric cleaner, etc., without specific limitation.

[0047] It can be understood that the drying method of the embodiment of the present application can be executed by a handheld cleaner, or by a base station, or by the interaction between a handheld cleaner and a base station, without specific limitation. In an actual scenario, the handheld cleaner is configured with a cleaning controller, and the base station is configured with a base station controller, and the cleaning controller and the base station controller are communicated with each other. Therefore, in an actual scenario, one of the cleaning controller and the base station controller can be used as the master control, and the other as the slave control to execute the steps of the drying method of the cleaning device of the present application.

[0048] To facilitate understanding of the technical solution of the present application, the following embodiments may all be understood as the drying method of the cleaning device being executed by a base station controller, which may send relevant control instructions to the cleaning controller, thereby enabling the cleaning controller to control the actions of the controlled components of the handheld cleaner.

[0049] Please refer to FIG. 1 . The present application provides a drying method for a cleaning device. The cleaning device includes a detachably connected handheld cleaner and a base station. The drying method includes steps 102 , 104 , and 106 .

[0050] Step 102, determining the drying mode required by the cleaning device.

[0051] Specifically, the drying mode refers to the operating mode of which part of the cleaning device needs to be dried. For example, if only the handheld cleaner needs to be dried, then the drying mode is cleaner drying; if both the handheld cleaner and the base station need to be dried, then the drying mode is whole machine drying; if only the base station needs to be dried, then the drying mode is base station drying.

[0052] It is understood that there is not only one way to determine the drying mode. In one embodiment, the user may interact with the cleaning device and directly send the drying mode to the cleaning device. In another embodiment, the cleaning device may monitor its own operation and control the cleaning device to enter the corresponding drying mode when the corresponding conditions are met. The specific method is not limited.

[0053] Step 104, when the drying mode is whole machine drying, turn on the sewage discharge switch of the handheld cleaner and the sewage inlet switch of the base station.

[0054] Specifically, whole-machine drying means that the entire cleaning equipment needs to be dried, that is, both the handheld cleaner and the base station need to be dried. The handheld cleaner is equipped with a sewage collection channel and a sewage discharge channel. The sewage collection channel is connected to the water inlet end of the cleaner sewage tank to suck the sewage after cleaning into the cleaner sewage tank for storage. The sewage discharge channel is used to connect to the base station sewage tank of the base station. When the handheld cleaner is connected to the base station, the sewage in the cleaner sewage tank can be transferred to the base station sewage tank through the base station suction fan. Under normal conditions, the sewage discharge channel between the cleaner sewage tank and the base station sewage tank should be in a closed state to avoid sewage leakage, that is, the sewage inlet switch of the base station and the sewage discharge switch of the handheld cleaner are in a closed state.

[0055] In the solution of this embodiment, when the whole machine needs to be dried, it is necessary to control the sewage discharge switch of the cleaner and the sewage inlet switch of the base station to be turned on, so that a hot air flow channel is formed, and the air in the sewage tank of the base station can enter the sewage tank of the cleaner through the sewage discharge channel.

[0056] Furthermore, in one embodiment, in order to avoid the loss of hot air during the drying process and improve the drying effect, the base station sewage switch of the base station can also be turned off.

[0057] Step 106, controlling the heating device disposed in the sewage tank of the base station to operate at a first heating power for heating, and controlling the base station suction fan of the base station to operate for blowing.

[0058] Specifically, in the solution of this embodiment, a heating device is provided at the sewage tank of the base station, which can be provided at any position on the outer surface of the sewage tank of the base station, and is not specifically limited. The type of the heating device is not limited, and can be an electromagnetic heating device, a resistance heating device, etc., and is also not limited.

[0059] The base station suction fan is a device that generates suction by running forward when the handheld cleaner is docked with the base station to absorb air, sewage, etc. When the heating device heats the sewage tank of the base station, in order to allow the hot air to quickly enter the handheld cleaner, the base station suction fan needs to be controlled to reverse and run in a blowing state to accelerate the flow of hot air.

[0060] It should be noted that the magnitude of the first heating power is not unique, and in order to improve the drying efficiency, the first heating power should be set large enough. For example, in one embodiment, the first heating power can be set to the rated power or the maximum operating power, and in another embodiment, the first heating power can also be set to other values, which are not specifically limited.

[0061] The drying method of the above-mentioned cleaning equipment, the cleaning equipment includes a detachably connected handheld cleaner and a base station. In an actual scenario, first determine the drying mode required for the cleaning equipment. When the whole machine is dried, turn on the cleaner sewage switch of the handheld cleaner and the sewage inlet switch of the base station. In this way, the sewage discharge channel between the sewage tank of the base station and the cleaner sewage tank of the handheld cleaner is opened. After that, control the heating device to heat at a first heating power. While drying the sewage tank of the base station, the generated hot air is blown into the cleaner sewage tank by the suction fan of the base station, thereby drying the handheld cleaner. The above scheme, through the blowing operation of the suction fan of the base station, quickly blows hot air into the handheld cleaner to dry the handheld cleaner, so as to ensure that the handheld cleaner is efficiently dried with hot air at a higher temperature, thereby alleviating odor and mold.

[0062] Please refer to FIG. 2 , in one embodiment, the method further includes step 202 and step 204 .

[0063] Step 202, when the drying mode is cleaner drying, turn on the cleaner drain switch of the handheld cleaner and the dirt inlet switch of the base station.

[0064] Step 204, controlling the heating device to operate at a second heating power for heating, and controlling the base station suction fan of the base station to operate for blowing.

[0065] Specifically, the second heating power is less than or equal to the first heating power. In the solution of this embodiment, only the handheld cleaner has a drying demand, and the required heat is relatively small. Therefore, the control operation of the cleaning device is similar to the above-mentioned whole machine drying, and it is only necessary to set the heating power of the heating device to a relatively low level. It can be understood that in one embodiment, in order to reduce the complexity of the drying control process, the second heating power and the first heating power can also be set to be the same, and the same drying logic is used in the whole machine drying and cleaner drying modes.

[0066] It can be understood that the magnitude of the second heating power is not unique. For example, in one embodiment, the second heating power can be set to the minimum heating power.

[0067] Through the above solution, the heating device is controlled to operate at a smaller second heating power to dry the handheld cleaner, which can effectively save electric energy.

[0068] Likewise, in one embodiment, in order to prevent the loss of hot air, when the sewage switch of the cleaner and the sewage inlet switch of the base station are turned on, the sewage switch of the base station can also be turned off.

[0069] In one of the embodiments, after turning on the sewage discharge switch of the handheld cleaner and the sewage inlet switch of the base station, the method further includes: controlling the heating operation of the roller brush drying device arranged at the base station, and controlling the blowing operation of the blower fan arranged corresponding to the roller brush drying device; controlling the suction operation of the suction fan of the handheld cleaner.

[0070] Specifically, the suction fan of the cleaner is a device that sucks and collects the sewage generated during the cleaning process by rotating forward to suck air. The blowing fan is a device that performs a blowing operation by rotating forward to achieve a blowing operation.

[0071] In actual scenarios, the roller brush and the sewage collection channel of the handheld cleaner will maintain a high humidity due to contact with sewage, and there is also a risk of odor and mold. Therefore, in the solution of this embodiment, after the handheld cleaner is docked with the base station, a roller brush drying device and a blower fan are also provided at the base station position corresponding to the roller brush. In this way, when there is a need to dry the handheld cleaner, that is, in both the whole machine drying mode and the cleaner drying mode, the heating can be turned on by controlling the roller brush drying device, and the blowing of the blower fan and the suction of the cleaner suction fan can be used to dry the roller brush while efficiently transmitting the hot air generated by the heating of the roller brush drying device to the cleaner sewage tank through the sewage collection pipeline.

[0072] Through this solution, not only can the roller brush be dried, but hot air can also be blown into the sewage collecting pipe and sewage tank of the handheld cleaner by blowing and sucking, thereby further reducing the risk of odor and mold in the handheld cleaner.

[0073] In one of the embodiments, after controlling the roller brush drying device disposed at the base station to heat up, the method further includes: controlling the roller brush of the handheld cleaner to rotate.

[0074] Specifically, in the scheme of this embodiment, during the process of drying the roller brush, the rotation of the roller brush can be controlled so that the roller brush is fully in contact with the hot air, thereby achieving comprehensive drying of the roller brush, improving the drying efficiency of the roller brush, and avoiding the phenomenon that some roller brushes cannot be dried.

[0075] It should be noted that the roller brush has not a single rotation mode. It can be rotated in a forward (clockwise) and reverse (counterclockwise) alternating manner in a certain period, or it can be fixed to rotate in one direction, such as forward or reverse, without specific limitation.

[0076] The rotation speed of the roller brush is not unique. To ensure that all parts of the roller brush have enough time to dry, in one embodiment, the roller brush can be controlled to rotate at a lower speed. For example, the roller brush is controlled to rotate at the lowest speed, that is, the driver (such as a motor) that drives the roller brush to rotate and the minimum power operation.

[0077] Please refer to FIG. 3 , in one embodiment, the method further includes step 302 .

[0078] Step 302, verifying whether the cleaning device needs to be dried.

[0079] When the cleaning device needs to be dried, step 102 is performed.

[0080] Specifically, the solution of this embodiment first checks whether the cleaning device needs to be dried, that is, whether it is necessary to start the drying operation of the cleaning device. If it is verified that there is a drying demand, the drying mode will be further determined, and the drying operation will be performed in the corresponding drying mode. If it is verified that there is no drying demand, there is no need to perform drying mode analysis, and the drying operation will not be started. In this way, the accuracy of drying execution can be effectively improved.

[0081] In one embodiment, checking whether the cleaning device needs to be dried includes any one of the following:

[0082] Item 1: upon receiving a drying instruction, determining that the cleaning device has a drying requirement.

[0083] Item 2: When the handheld cleaner completes self-cleaning, determine whether the cleaning equipment needs to be dried.

[0084] Item 3: When the standby time after the handheld cleaner is successfully connected to the base station reaches a preset standby duration, it is determined that the cleaning device needs to be dried.

[0085] Item 4: When the first humidity of the cleaner sewage tank of the handheld cleaner is greater than or equal to the first preset humidity threshold, or the humidity of the base station sewage tank of the base station is greater than or equal to the second preset humidity threshold, it is determined that the cleaning equipment has a drying requirement.

[0086] Specifically, there is not only one way to check whether there is a drying demand. In one embodiment, the drying operation is actively triggered by the user. In this case, it is necessary to receive a drying instruction sent by the user before it is considered that there is a drying demand. In another embodiment, the drying operation can be automatically triggered. At this time, the cleaning device performs real-time docking monitoring between the handheld cleaner and the base station, self-cleaning monitoring, and humidity monitoring of the cleaner sewage tank and the base station sewage tank.

[0087] After the handheld cleaner is used, it needs to be self-cleaned by the base station to ensure that the handheld cleaner is in a clean state. After the self-cleaning is completed, there will be a lot of water stains on the handheld cleaner or the base station, which is easy to cause odor and bacteria. Therefore, after the self-cleaning is completed, it is considered that the cleaning device needs to be dried.

[0088] When the handheld cleaner is docked with the base station and in standby mode for a long time, bacteria may grow, odor or mold may appear due to the long time. Therefore, when the handheld cleaner and the base station are detected in this state, it can also be considered that there is a need for drying. The preset standby time is not unique and can be set according to the actual usage scenario or the type of cleaning equipment. It is not limited here.

[0089] Furthermore, considering that odor and mold are often caused by excessive humidity, when it is detected that the humidity of the base station sewage tank and / or the cleaner sewage tank is too high, it can be considered that there is a drying demand, and the drying operation is started.

[0090] It should be noted that the first preset humidity threshold and the second preset humidity threshold are not unique, and the two can be set to be the same or different. There is no specific limitation and they can be set in combination with actual scenarios.

[0091] Please refer to FIG. 4 , in one embodiment, step 102 includes step 402 , step 404 , and step 406 .

[0092] Step 402, obtaining the operating status of the base station when the cleaning device last performed a cleaning task.

[0093] Step 404: if the base station has not performed self-cleaning, determine that the required drying mode is cleaner drying.

[0094] Step 406: When the base station has performed self-cleaning, it is determined that the required drying mode is whole machine drying.

[0095] Specifically, the most recently executed cleaning task refers to the cleaning task that is closest to the current time point. In actual scenarios, whether the drying operation is started by a user instruction or the drying operation is started after the handheld cleaner completes self-cleaning, the required drying mode needs to be determined. When performing the drying operation, the main purpose is to avoid odor or mold in the handheld cleaner. The handheld cleaner must be dried. Therefore, the drying mode is mainly determined by the use of the base station.

[0096] If it is detected that the base station has performed self-cleaning, then water stains will inevitably accumulate on the base station. At this time, the base station needs to be dried, and the entire machine needs to be dried accordingly; if it is detected that the base station has not performed self-cleaning, it means that the base station is relatively dry, and cleaner drying can be performed at this time.

[0097] This solution determines whether the base station needs to be dried by detecting whether the base station has performed self-cleaning. This can not only ensure the dryness of the base station, but also effectively save energy.

[0098] Please refer to FIG. 5 , in one embodiment, the method further includes step 502 , step 504 and step 506 .

[0099] Step 502, when the operation time of the heating device reaches a preset time, control the suction fan of the base station to operate suction.

[0100] Step 504: Obtain humidity parameters of the sewage tank of the base station.

[0101] Step 506: When the humidity parameter is less than or equal to the minimum value of the preset humidity range, the heating device is controlled to stop running to end the drying operation.

[0102] Specifically, in this embodiment, each execution of a drying task is configured with a corresponding drying time. When the drying time reaches a preset time, it is necessary to determine whether the drying end condition is met through humidity detection. Specifically, when the operation time of the heating device reaches a preset time, the base station suction fan rotates forward to suck air from the cleaner sewage tank into the base station sewage tank, and the humidity is detected through the humidity detector of the base station sewage tank. The humidity parameters of the base station sewage tank obtained at this time can also characterize the humidity of the cleaner sewage tank.

[0103] If the humidity parameter is detected to be less than or equal to the minimum value of the preset humidity range, it indicates that the cleaning device has been dried, and the heating device can be directly controlled to stop running to end the drying operation. Through this solution, the drying operation can be stopped in time when the cleaning device is dried to avoid energy waste.

[0104] It can be understood that in one embodiment, when the drying operation is finished, it is necessary to control the cleaner drain switch, the sewage inlet switch and the base station drain switch to resume the standby operation state, for example, turning off all these switches.

[0105] It should be noted that, in one embodiment, when performing the drying operation, both the roller brush drying device and the heating device may be turned on and operated. Therefore, when the drying time reaches the preset time, it is necessary to control the suction fan of the cleaner to stop running or to blow air to ensure that the air in the sewage tank of the cleaner can be used for humidity detection of the sewage tank of the base station. When the humidity parameter is less than the minimum value of the preset humidity range, it is necessary to control both the heating device and the roller brush drying device to stop running.

[0106] The preset duration is not unique and can be set in combination with actual needs without specific limitation. For example, in one embodiment, the preset duration can be set to 4 minutes to 5 minutes.

[0107] Please refer to FIG. 6 , in one embodiment, after step 504 , the method further includes step 602 .

[0108] Step 602, when the humidity parameter is within the preset humidity range, control the base station suction fan to continue blowing operation, and adjust the heating operation time according to the humidity parameter.

[0109] When the heating device continues the heating operation to reach the adjusted heating time, the process returns to the step of controlling the suction fan of the base station to operate the suction.

[0110] Specifically, if after a preset heating time, the detected humidity parameter is still large, that is, within the preset humidity range, the heating time needs to be adjusted to continue the drying operation. Specifically, the heating time can be reduced and the timing can be restarted. After the heating device continues to heat for the reduced heating time, the suction fan of the control base station is returned to the suction operation and the humidity detection is performed again. This is done until the humidity is finally detected to be less than the minimum value of the preset humidity range, and the drying operation is terminated.

[0111] Through this solution, when the humidity is high, the heating time can be continuously adjusted for heating. While ensuring the drying effect, the drying can be stopped in time to save energy.

[0112] It can be understood that in one embodiment, if the humidity parameter is detected to be greater than the maximum value of the preset humidity range, it means that drying has not reduced the humidity at this time, and there may be a failure in the related components performing the drying function. At this time, the drying will be terminated and an alarm will be issued.

[0113] Please refer to FIG. 7 , in one embodiment, the method further includes step 702 and step 704 .

[0114] Step 702: When the drying is completed, obtain the real-time humidity parameter of the sewage tank of the base station.

[0115] Step 704: When the real-time humidity parameter is greater than or equal to the preset humidity threshold, control the heating device to heat to dry the sewage tank of the base station.

[0116] When the real-time humidity parameter is less than the preset humidity threshold, return to the step of obtaining the real-time humidity parameter of the sewage tank of the base station.

[0117] Specifically, after the whole machine or the cleaner is dried and the humidity drops to a certain value, the humidity of the base station can be monitored by a humidity detector arranged in the sewage tank of the base station. If the humidity is found to be too high, that is, the real-time humidity parameter is greater than or equal to the preset humidity threshold, the heating device can be turned on to dry the base station, that is, operate in the base station drying mode.

[0118] Through this solution, the humidity of the base station can be continuously monitored after drying is completed to ensure that the base station is in a dry state and avoid odor or mold in the base station.

[0119] In one of the embodiments, controlling the heating device to heat to dry the sewage tank of the base station includes: controlling the heating device to start and operate, closing the sewage inlet switch, and opening the sewage discharge switch of the base station; and controlling the suction fan of the base station to blow air.

[0120] Specifically, in the solution of this embodiment, when drying the base station, it is necessary to control the sewage inlet switch to be closed to slow down the heat loss. At the same time, the sewage discharge switch of the base station is turned on and the suction fan is controlled to blow air, and the polluted air generated by heating is discharged to the external environment (for example, a sewer connected to the base station) through the sewage discharge switch of the base station, thereby avoiding polluting the air.

[0121] When drying the sewage tank of the base station, the drying operation can be performed for a fixed drying time, and after the drying is completed, the humidity is tested again, and it is determined whether to continue drying according to the test result, until the humidity finally drops below the preset humidity threshold. In another embodiment, different heating powers or heating times can be used for heating and drying according to different humidity to avoid energy waste.

[0122] For example, in one embodiment, controlling the heating device to heat to dry the base station sewage tank includes: determining the drying level according to the real-time humidity parameters and the preset humidity level range; after the heating device completes operation at the drying level, turning off the heating device and returning to the step of obtaining the real-time humidity parameters of the base station sewage tank.

[0123] Specifically, the drying gear is the gear that the heating device needs to operate at the current humidity. Specifically, the drying gear can be the heating power or the heating time, which is not limited here. In one embodiment, taking the drying gear as the heating time as an example, when the humidity is high, a higher drying gear is used (the heating time is longer); when the humidity is low, a lower drying gear is used (the heating time is shorter).

[0124] For example, when the humidity is between 30% and 50%, the corresponding drying gear is the first gear, and the drying time is 1 minute; when the humidity is between 50% and 60%, the corresponding drying gear is the second gear, and the drying time is 3 minutes; when the humidity is greater than 60%, the corresponding drying gear is the third gear, and the drying time is 5 minutes.

[0125] In order to facilitate understanding of the technical solution of the present application, the present application is explained below by taking a handheld cleaner as a handheld floor scrubber as an example in combination with a more detailed embodiment.

[0126] The cleaning equipment includes a handheld floor scrubber and a base station. The base station is provided with function buttons for controlling drying. After the handheld floor scrubber is docked with the base station, if it is detected that the user starts the drying operation through the function button, or after the program self-checks that the handheld floor scrubber completes the self-cleaning operation, the drying process is triggered.

[0127] First, the program self-checks whether the base station has performed a self-cleaning operation recently. If self-cleaning has been performed, the whole machine drying is started. If self-cleaning has not been performed, the cleaner drying is started.

[0128] In the whole machine drying mode (the cleaner drying mode is similar to the whole machine drying mode, and it is only necessary to control the heating power of the heating device to be less than or equal to the whole machine drying mode, which will not be repeated), you can refer to the following table.

[0129] At 0 minutes (min) to 2 minutes, the base station controller sends a control instruction to the cleaning controller, so that the cleaning controller controls the cleaner's sewage switch to open, the roller brush to run forward, and the cleaner's suction fan to run forward; the base station controller controls the base station sewage switch to close, the sewage inlet switch to open, the heating device to run at maximum power, the roller brush drying device to run at maximum heating power, and the base station suction fan to run in reverse, that is, to control the blowing fan to run forward. In this way, while the heating device dries the base station sewage tank, hot air is sent from the sewage pipe of the handheld scrubber into the cleaner's sewage tank to dry the entire sewage channel and devices; while the roller brush drying device dries the roller brush, hot air is sent from the sewage collection pipe of the handheld scrubber into the cleaner's sewage tank to dry the entire sewage collection channel and devices.

[0130] When the drying time reaches 2 minutes to 4 minutes, the base station controller sends a control instruction to the cleaning controller, so that the cleaning controller controls the roller brush to reverse and the operating status of other devices changes.

[0131] Then, when the drying time reaches 4-5 minutes, the base station controller sends a control instruction to the cleaning controller to make the cleaning controller control the suction fan of the cleaner to stop running, and the base station controller controls the suction fan of the base station to rotate forward to suck air, pump air into the base station sewage tank, start the humidity detector to detect humidity, and the heating device, the blower fan and the roller brush drying device remain in the same operating state. If the humidity is detected to be less than the minimum value of the preset humidity range, the drying is terminated, and each heating device is controlled to stop running and each switch is turned off.

[0132] If the humidity is detected to be within the preset humidity range, the heating time is reduced, the suction of the cleaner is controlled to rotate forward to suck air, and the suction fan of the base station is controlled to rotate reverse to blow air, and each heating device is controlled to heat with the adjusted heating time to continue drying. After the drying time reaches the adjusted heating time, the suction fan of the cleaner is controlled to stop running, and the suction fan of the base station is controlled to rotate forward to suck air, and the humidity detection is performed again until the humidity is finally reduced to a minimum value less than the preset humidity range.

[0133] After the drying is completed, the humidity detector of the base station sewage tank performs real-time humidity detection. When it is detected that the real-time humidity parameter is greater than or equal to the preset humidity threshold, the base station drying mode is started. In this mode, only the base station needs to be controlled, and the handheld floor scrubber does not need to be dried, and the roller brush drying device does not need to be started. Specifically, the base station controller controls the sewage inlet switch to be closed, and the base station sewage discharge switch to be turned on, controls the heating device to heat (it can be turned on at any heating power), and the base station suction fan reverses to blow air to dry the base station sewage tank and discharge the hot air to the outdoor environment connected to the base station sewage tank (such as a sewer) to avoid polluting the air.

[0134] During the drying process of the base station, if the humidity is between 30% and 50%, the corresponding drying gear is the first gear, and the drying time is 1 minute, that is, after the heating device runs for 1 minute, the humidity is re-detected, and the next heating time is determined based on the detection results, or the heating is stopped. When the humidity is between 50% and 60%, the corresponding drying gear is the second gear, and the drying time is 3 minutes, that is, after the heating device runs for 3 minutes, the humidity is re-detected, and the next heating time is determined based on the detection results, or the heating is stopped. When the humidity is greater than 60%, the corresponding drying gear is the third gear, and the drying time is 5 minutes, that is, after the heating device runs for 5 minutes, the humidity is re-detected, and the next heating time is determined based on the detection results, or the heating is stopped.

The roller brush drying module 902 is used to control the heating operation of the roller brush drying device provided at the base station, and control the blowing operation of the blower fan provided corresponding to the roller brush drying device; and control the suction operation of the suction fan of the handheld cleaner.

[0142] In one embodiment, the roller brush drying module 902 is also used to control the rotation of the roller brush of the handheld cleaner.

[0143] 10 , in one embodiment, the drying device further comprises a trigger detection module 1002. The trigger detection module 1002 is used to check whether the cleaning device has a drying requirement. If the cleaning device has a drying requirement, the control mode determination module 802 performs an operation of determining the drying mode required by the cleaning device.

[0144] In one of the embodiments, the mode determination module 802 is also used to obtain the operating status of the base station when the cleaning device last performed a cleaning task; when the base station has not performed self-cleaning, the required drying mode is determined to be cleaner drying; when the base station has performed self-cleaning, the required drying mode is determined to be whole machine drying.

[0148] In one of the embodiments, the drying monitoring module 112 is also used to control the heating device to start and run, close the sewage inlet switch, and open the base station sewage discharge switch; and control the base station suction fan to blow air.

[0149] In one of the embodiments, the drying monitoring module 112 is also used to determine the drying level based on the real-time humidity parameters and the preset humidity level range; after the heating device completes operation at the drying level, the heating device is turned off and the operation of obtaining the real-time humidity parameters of the base station sewage tank is returned.

[0150] Each module in the drying device of the above cleaning equipment can be implemented in whole or in part by software, hardware and a combination thereof. Each module can be embedded in or independent of a processor in a computer device in the form of hardware, or can be stored in a memory in a computer device in the form of software, so that the processor can call and execute operations corresponding to each module.

[0151] The drying device of the above-mentioned cleaning equipment includes a detachably connected handheld cleaner and a base station. In an actual scenario, the drying mode required by the cleaning equipment is first determined. When the whole machine is dried, the sewage switch of the handheld cleaner and the sewage inlet switch of the base station are turned on, so that the sewage discharge channel between the sewage tank of the base station and the sewage tank of the handheld cleaner is opened. After that, the heating device is controlled to heat at a first heating power. While drying the sewage tank of the base station, the hot air generated is blown into the sewage tank of the cleaner by the suction fan of the base station, thereby drying the handheld cleaner. In the above scheme, the hot air is blown into the handheld cleaner to dry the handheld cleaner through the blowing operation of the suction fan of the base station, thereby alleviating the odor and mold phenomenon.

[0152] Please refer to Figures 12, 13, 14 and 15. The present application also provides a cleaning device, including a detachably connected handheld cleaner 121 and a base station 122. The base station 122 includes a base body, a base station controller, a base station sewage tank 1222, a base station suction fan 1227, a sewage inlet switch 1221 and a heating device 1223. The base station sewage tank 1222 is arranged on the base body, the heating device 1223 is arranged on the base station sewage tank 1222, and the sewage inlet switch 1221 and the base station suction fan 1227 are arranged on the sewage inlet pipe of the base station sewage tank 1222. The sewage inlet switch 1221, the heating device 1223 and the base station suction fan 1227 are respectively connected to the base station controller, the handheld cleaner 121 includes a cleaner sewage tank 1211, a cleaner sewage switch 1212 and a cleaning controller, the cleaner sewage switch 1212 is arranged on the sewage discharge pipeline of the cleaner sewage tank 1211, the cleaner sewage switch 1212 is connected to the cleaning controller, the cleaning controller of the handheld cleaner 121 is communicatively connected with the base station controller of the base station 122, and the cleaning controller or the base station controller is used to execute the steps of the above-mentioned drying method.

[0153] Specifically, the implementation of the drying method is as shown in the above-mentioned embodiments and the accompanying drawings. The cleaning device includes a detachably connected handheld cleaner 121 and a base station 122. In an actual scenario, the drying mode required by the cleaning device is first determined. In the case of drying the entire device, the cleaner sewage switch 1212 of the handheld cleaner 121 and the sewage inlet switch 1221 of the base station 122 are turned on, and the base station sewage switch 1228 of the base station 122 is turned off. In this way, the sewage discharge channel between the base station sewage tank 1222 and the cleaner sewage tank 1211 of the handheld cleaner 121 is opened. After that, the heating device 1223 is controlled to heat at the first heating power. While drying the base station sewage tank 1222, the hot air generated is blown into the cleaner sewage tank 1211 by the base station suction fan 1227, thereby drying the handheld cleaner 121. In the above solution, the base station suction fan 1227 is operated to blow hot air into the handheld cleaner 121 to dry the handheld cleaner 121, thereby alleviating the odor and mold phenomenon.

[0154] The handheld cleaner 121 is not limited to a single type, and any type of cleaner can be used as long as the user can clean the surface to be cleaned with clean water and recycle the wastewater after cleaning. For example, in one embodiment, the handheld cleaner 121 can be a handheld floor scrubber, a handheld fabric cleaner, etc., without specific limitation.

[0155] It can be understood that in order to achieve the above-mentioned drying function, in one embodiment, a heating device 1223 and a humidity detector 1224 need to be provided at the base station sewage tank 1222 of the base station 122 to achieve heating and humidity detection of the base station sewage tank 1222 .

[0156] It should be noted that, in one embodiment, in order to detect the humidity of the handheld cleaner 121 , a humidity sensor may be installed near the suction port of the suction fan 1214 of the cleaner or inside the sewage tank 1211 of the cleaner.

[0157] Furthermore, in one embodiment, after the base station 122 is docked with the handheld cleaner 121, a roller brush drying device 1225 and a blower fan 1226 are provided at a position corresponding to the roller brush 1213 (which can be any position around the roller brush 1213), so as to dry the roller brush 1213 and send hot air into the sewage collection pipe of the handheld cleaner 121 and the sewage tank 1211 of the cleaner in combination with the suction fan 1214 of the cleaner.

[0158] The present application also provides a computer-readable storage medium having a computer program stored thereon, and when the computer program is executed by a processor, the following steps of the drying method are implemented:

[0160] The present application also provides a computer program product, including a computer program, which, when executed by a processor, implements the following steps of the drying method:

[0161] Determine the drying mode required for the cleaning equipment; when the drying mode is whole machine drying, turn on the cleaner drain switch of the handheld cleaner and the sewage inlet switch of the base station; control the heating device arranged in the sewage tank of the base station to heat and operate at the first heating power, and control the base station suction fan of the base station to operate for blowing.

[0162] The above storage medium and computer program product first determine the drying mode required by the cleaning device. When the whole machine is dried, the sewage discharge switch of the handheld cleaner and the sewage inlet switch of the base station are turned on, so that the sewage discharge channel between the sewage tank of the base station and the sewage tank of the handheld cleaner is opened. After that, the heating device is controlled to heat at the first heating power. While drying the sewage tank of the base station, the hot air generated is blown into the sewage tank of the cleaner by the suction fan of the base station, thereby drying the handheld cleaner. The above scheme, through the blowing operation of the suction fan of the base station, blows hot air into the handheld cleaner to dry the handheld cleaner, thereby alleviating the odor and mold phenomenon.

[0163] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0164] The above-described embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present application, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be pointed out that, for a person of ordinary skill in the art, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present application, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present application.
