[0048] Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, with examples illustrated in the accompanying drawings. In the following description, when referring to the drawings, identical numerals in different figures represent identical or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments are not intended to represent all embodiments consistent with the present disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with certain aspects of the present disclosure, as detailed in the appended claims.

[0049] In the related art, users usually need to use solid soap, shower gel, hand soap, etc. when bathing or cleaning their hands. They also need to use solid or liquid detergents such as dishwashing liquid when cleaning the kitchen and house. Among them, solid soap is not hygienic during use and is inconvenient to store; while liquid hand soap, shower gel, dishwashing liquid, etc. have problems such as repeated squeezing and pouring due to the inability to control the amount of liquid discharged, which reduces the user's convenience when using liquid detergents.

[0050] It should be noted that the cleaning device can be used for washing hands, bathing, washing dishes, cleaning windows, and other cleaning purposes, as long as the corresponding cleaning liquid is replaced. This disclosure does not limit the use scenario of the cleaning device. For example, when the cleaning device is used for washing hands, the cleaning liquid can be hand soap, liquid soap, etc.; when the cleaning device is used for bathing, the cleaning liquid can be liquid soap, shower gel, etc.

[0051] Figure 1 is a schematic cross-sectional structural diagram of a cleaning device in an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure; Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a use scenario of a cleaning device in an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 1 、 Figure 2As shown, the cleaning device 1 includes a main housing 11, a cleaning liquid storage tank 12, a pressure sensor 14, and a flow controller 13. The inner surface of the main housing 11 defines a receiving space 111. A grip portion 112 is provided on the outer surface of the main housing 11. A through-hole 113 is provided in the main housing 11, connecting the receiving space 111 with the outside. The cleaning liquid storage tank 12 is housed within the receiving space 111 and is provided with a liquid outlet 121, which mates with the through-hole 113 in the main housing 11. The pressure sensor 14 is assembled to the grip portion 112. The flow controller 13 includes a control module 131 and a flow restrictor 132, which is movably engaged with the liquid outlet 121. The control module 131 is electrically connected to the pressure sensor 14 to actuate the flow restrictor 132 based on a pressure signal from the pressure sensor 14, thereby changing the flow restriction area of ​​the flow restrictor 132 engaged with the liquid outlet 121.

[0052] By disposing the pressure sensor 14 on the grip portion 112 of the main housing 11 and enabling the flow controller 13's flow restrictor 132 to movably engage with the liquid outlet 121 of the cleaning liquid storage tank 12, the control module 131 of the flow controller 13 drives the flow restrictor 132 according to the pressure signal emitted by the pressure sensor 14, thereby changing the flow restriction area of ​​the flow restrictor 132 engaged with the liquid outlet 121. Since the flow rate of the liquid outflowing from the liquid outlet 121 is small when the flow restriction area of ​​the flow restrictor 132 engaged with the liquid outlet 121 is large, and the flow rate of the liquid outflowing from the liquid outlet 121 is large when the flow restriction area of ​​the flow restrictor 132 engaged with the liquid outlet 121 is small, the flow rate of the liquid outflowing from the liquid outlet 121 is large when the flow restriction area of ​​the flow restrictor 132 engaged with the liquid outlet 121 is small. Therefore, the above-mentioned structural arrangement enables the user, when holding and using the cleaning device 1, to control the flow rate of the cleaning liquid outflow by utilizing the pressure exerted by the hand on the pressure sensor 14 when holding the device, so that the liquid outflow meets the usage requirement at one time, avoiding repeated squeezing, pouring, and other actions, and improving the convenience and intelligence of the user when using the cleaning liquid.

[0053] In the above embodiment, the outer surface of the main housing 11 can be formed into a shape that matches the grip curve of the user's hand. For example, the outer surface of the main housing 11 can be formed into a rectangular block structure. The dimensions of the rectangular block structure in the thickness and width directions can match the grip dimensions of the hand, and arc-shaped transitions are formed between adjacent side surfaces to facilitate grip. Alternatively, the outer surface of the main housing 11 can also be formed into a spherical, ellipsoidal, or irregular three-dimensional structure. As long as the main housing 11 includes a structure that facilitates gripping, the present disclosure does not limit the shape of the structure formed by the outer surface of the main housing 11.

[0054] Among them, Figure 2As shown, the gripping portion 112 is provided on the outer surface of the main housing 11 for the user to grasp and use the cleaning device 1. For example, the gripping portion 112 may include a first gripping area and a second gripping area, and the outer surface of the main housing 11 includes a first side surface 114 and a second side surface 115 that are oppositely disposed. One of the first gripping area and the second gripping area is disposed on the first side surface 114, and the other is disposed on the second side surface 115. The gripping portion 112 is divided into two areas, and the two areas are disposed on two opposite sides of the outer surface of the main housing 11, so as to facilitate the user's hand to apply force to grasp. Figure 2 As shown, when the outer surface of the main shell 11 is surrounded by a rectangular block structure, the first side 114 and the second side 115 can be the side surfaces surrounded by the long sides and the short sides along the thickness direction of the rectangular block structure. At this time, the gripping areas arranged on the first side 114 and the second side 115 can adapt to the gripping habits of the hands and improve the convenience of use.

[0055] Furthermore, the main housing 11 may be provided with one or more through holes 113, and the liquid outlet holes 121 on the cleaning liquid storage tank 12 may be matched with the above-mentioned through holes 113 in a one-to-one correspondence, so that the cleaning liquid in the cleaning liquid storage tank 12 can flow out from the through holes 113 on the main housing 11. When the main housing 11 is provided with multiple through holes 113, the multiple through holes 113 are evenly distributed on any side wall of the main housing 11 to increase the controllability of the liquid outlet and improve the external aesthetics of the cleaning device 1. Figure 2 As shown, the outer surface of the main housing 11 may include a third side surface 116, which is formed by the long sides of the rectangular block structure and the short sides along the width direction. The through hole 113 is arranged on the third side surface 116. Since the third side surface 116 forms the side surface with the largest area on the rectangular block structure, the area for the through hole 113 is increased, thereby increasing the liquid outlet area of ​​the cleaning device 1.

[0056] Further, such as Figure 3 As shown, the outer surface of the main housing 11 is further provided with decontamination protrusions 118 for scrubbing objects to be cleaned, thereby enhancing the cleaning effect of the cleaning body. The decontamination protrusions 118 and the through-holes 113 are disposed on different sides of the main housing 11 to prevent structural interference between the two and to prevent debris from clogging the through-holes 113 during scrubbing by the decontamination protrusions 118. For example, when the outer surface of the main housing 11 includes a fourth side surface 117 disposed opposite the third side surface 116, the through-holes 113 can be disposed on the third side surface 116 of the main housing 11, and the decontamination protrusions 118 can be disposed on the fourth side surface 117.

[0057] It should be noted that there can be multiple decontamination bumps 118 , and the multiple decontamination bumps 118 are arranged in an array on one side surface of the main shell 11 to increase the setting area of ​​the decontamination bumps 118 and improve the decontamination effect.

[0058] The following is an exemplary description of the structure, arrangement and coordination of the cleaning liquid storage tank 12, the pressure sensor 14 and the flow controller 13 with the main housing 11:

[0059] In one embodiment, if Figure 3 As shown, the cleaning device 1 includes one or more pressure sensors 14, which are disposed on the grip portion 112 to sense the force applied by the user's hand when gripping the grip portion 112. When the cleaning device 1 includes one pressure sensor 14, the pressure sensor 14 can be disposed at a location on the grip portion 112 where it mates with the fingers to facilitate sensing hand force; alternatively, the pressure sensor 14 can be disposed in other areas of the grip portion 112, which is not limited in this disclosure. When the cleaning device 1 includes multiple pressure sensors 14, the pressure sensors 14 are assembled in different areas of the grip portion 112.

[0060] For example, the grip portion 112 includes a first grip area and a second grip area, and the outer surface of the main housing 11 includes a first side surface 114 and a second side surface 115 that are oppositely disposed. One of the first grip area and the second grip area is disposed on the first side surface 114, and the other is disposed on the second side surface 115. In this case, one or more pressure sensors 14 can be disposed in each of the first grip area and the second grip area to sense pressure from different areas of the grip portion 112, thereby improving the accuracy of pressure sensing.

[0061] Furthermore, an elastic covering 141 may be provided on the outside of the pressure sensor 14 to monitor the magnitude of the hand gripping force through the elastic deformation of the elastic covering 141. Since the pressure sensor 14 is provided on the gripping portion 112 of the main housing 11, the elastic covering 141 can improve the gripping feel of the gripping portion 112.

[0062] In another embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, the cleaning liquid storage tank 12 is provided with a filling opening 122, and the main housing 11 is provided with a corresponding mating opening 119 and a waterproof plug 15. The waterproof plug 15 is removably sealed with the filling opening 122 and the mating opening 119. When the cleaning liquid needs to be replenished, the waterproof plug 15 can be pulled away from the filling opening 122 and the mating opening 119, and the cleaning liquid storage tank 12 can be replenished through the filling opening 122. During use of the cleaning device 1, the waterproof plug 15 is sealed with the filling opening 122 and the mating opening 119.

[0063] It should be noted that the waterproof plug 15 can be movably connected to the main housing 11 to facilitate disassembly and assembly of the waterproof plug 15 and prevent loss of the waterproof plug 15. The waterproof plug 15 can be made of an elastic material such as rubber, silicone, or plastic to enhance the waterproof effect when the waterproof plug 15 is sealed with the liquid filling opening 122 and the mating opening 119.

[0064] Further, such as Figure 5 As shown, cleaning device 1 may also include a wireless communication module 17. A liquid metering sensor 16 is provided within cleaning liquid storage tank 12. Wireless communication module 17 is electrically connected to liquid metering sensor 16 and external device 2. Liquid metering sensor 16 is positioned at a predetermined depth position within cleaning liquid storage tank 12 to monitor the level of cleaning liquid within tank 12. When the level of cleaning liquid falls below liquid metering sensor 16, wireless communication module 17 can send a "cleaning liquid low" alert to external device 2, prompting the user to refill cleaning device 1.

[0065] It should be noted that the external device 2 may be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a vehicle-mounted terminal or a medical terminal, etc., and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0066] In yet another embodiment, Figure 6 As shown, the flow controller 13 includes a control module 131 and a flow limiting member 132. The flow limiting member 132 is movably matched with the liquid outlet 121. The control module 131 is electrically connected to the pressure sensor 14 to drive the flow limiting member 132 according to the pressure signal sent by the pressure sensor 14, and change the flow limiting area of ​​the flow limiting member 132 matched with the liquid outlet 121. Figure 6 As shown, the dotted arrow represents the direction of movement of the flow restrictor 132, and the solid arrow represents the direction of outflow of the cleaning fluid. The flow restrictor 132 is a blocking structure disposed on the liquid outlet 121. The blocking structure can be moved toward or away from the center of the liquid outlet 121 by the control module 131 through electromagnetic or mechanical actuation. When the blocking structure is in its initial position, it completely blocks the liquid outlet 121, preventing the outflow of cleaning fluid.

[0067] For example, when the pressure value sensed by the pressure sensor 14 is less than the first threshold, the blocking structure is in the initial position, maintaining the blocking state of the liquid outlet 121. Figure 7 As shown, when a first pressure acts on the cleaning device 1, the elastic covering member 141 outside the pressure sensor 14 correspondingly undergoes a first deformation, and the pressure value sensed by the pressure sensor 14 is greater than the first threshold value and less than the second threshold value. The flow restriction area of ​​the blocking structure in conjunction with the liquid outlet 121 is reduced to half of the initial state, thereby forming a low-flow liquid outlet state. Figure 8As shown, when a second pressure greater than the first pressure acts on the cleaning device 1, the elastic covering 141 outside the pressure sensor 14 correspondingly undergoes a second deformation greater than the first deformation, the pressure value sensed by the pressure sensor 14 is greater than the second threshold, and the flow limiting area of ​​the sealing structure in conjunction with the liquid outlet 121 is reduced to zero, that is, the liquid outlet 121 is completely unobstructed to form a large flow liquid outlet state.

[0068] The control method for the cleaning device is applied to the above cleaning device 1, such as Figure 9 As shown, the cleaning device control method can be implemented by the following steps:

[0069] In step S901 , a pressure signal sent by the pressure sensor 14 is obtained, wherein the pressure signal is an electrical signal, and the electrical signal indicates the magnitude of the pressure value sensed by the pressure sensor 14 .

[0070] In step S902, it is determined whether the pressure value represented by the pressure signal is greater than the first threshold value. If not, the flow limiting component 132 is controlled to completely block the liquid outlet 121. If so, it is determined whether the pressure value represented by the pressure signal is less than the second threshold value. When the pressure value represented by the pressure signal is less than the second threshold value, the flow limiting component 132 is controlled to move to a position that blocks part of the liquid outlet 121. When the pressure value represented by the pressure signal is greater than the second threshold value, the flow limiting component 132 is controlled to move to a non-blocking position away from the liquid outlet 121.

[0071] It should be noted that when the pressure value represented by the pressure signal is less than the second threshold value and greater than the first threshold value, the flow limiting component 132 is controlled to move to a position that blocks part of the liquid outlet hole 121. The flow limiting component 132 can be controlled to move to a position that blocks one-third, half, two-thirds, etc. of the liquid outlet hole 121. It can be set according to specific liquid outlet requirements, and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0072] Furthermore, the cleaning device 1 includes a wireless communication module 17 and a liquid metering sensor 16 disposed in the cleaning liquid storage tank 12, the wireless communication module 17 being electrically connected to the liquid metering sensor 16 and the external device 2, respectively. The cleaning device control method may further include the following steps:

[0073] First, the monitoring value of the cleaning liquid amount in the cleaning liquid storage tank 12 by the liquid metering sensor 16 is obtained.

[0074] Secondly, it is determined whether the monitoring value is less than a preset value. If so, a reminder message is sent to the external device 2 via the wireless communication module 17 .

[0075] The above method enables the user to intelligently monitor the remaining amount of cleaning liquid in the cleaning device 1 through an external device 2 such as a mobile phone or tablet computer. When the remaining amount of cleaning liquid is insufficient, the user will receive a reminder message and replenish the cleaning liquid according to the reminder message, avoiding the inconvenience caused by manually checking the remaining amount of cleaning liquid inside the cleaning device.

[0076] According to the above embodiment, the present disclosure further proposes a cleaning device control device, which is applied to the above cleaning device. Figure 10 As shown, further, the cleaning device control device 100 may include a first acquisition unit 101 and a first judgment unit 102.

[0077] The first acquiring unit 101 is configured to acquire a pressure signal sent by the pressure sensor 14 , wherein the pressure signal is an electrical signal, and indicates the magnitude of the pressure value sensed by the pressure sensor 14 through the electrical signal.

[0078] The first judgment unit 102 is configured to judge whether the pressure value represented by the pressure signal is greater than a first threshold value, and if so, to control the flow limiting component 132 to completely block the liquid outlet 121; if so, to judge whether the pressure value represented by the pressure signal is less than a second threshold value, and when the pressure value represented by the pressure signal is less than the second threshold value, to control the flow limiting component 132 to move to a position that blocks part of the liquid outlet 121, and when the pressure value represented by the pressure signal is greater than the second threshold value, to control the flow limiting component 132 to move to a non-blocking position away from the liquid outlet 121.

[0079] It should be noted that when the pressure value represented by the pressure signal is less than the second threshold value and greater than the first threshold value, the flow limiting component 132 is controlled to move to a position that blocks part of the liquid outlet hole 121. The flow limiting component 132 can be controlled to move to a position that blocks one-third, half, two-thirds, etc. of the liquid outlet hole 121. It can be set according to specific liquid outlet requirements, and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0080] Furthermore, the cleaning device 1 includes a wireless communication module 17 and a liquid metering sensor 16 disposed in the cleaning liquid storage tank 12. The wireless communication module 17 is electrically connected to the liquid metering sensor 16 and the external device 2, respectively. The cleaning device control device 100 further includes a second acquisition unit and a second judgment unit, wherein:

[0081] The second acquiring unit is configured to acquire a monitoring value of the amount of cleaning liquid in the cleaning liquid storage tank 12 by the liquid metering sensor 16 .

[0082] The second judgment unit is configured to judge whether the monitoring value is less than a preset value, and if so, send a reminder message to the external device 2 via the wireless communication module 17 .

[0083] Regarding the apparatus in the above embodiment, the specific manner in which each module performs operations has been described in detail in the embodiment of the method, and will not be elaborated here.

[0084] For the device embodiments, since they basically correspond to the method embodiments, the relevant parts can be referred to the partial description of the method embodiments. The device embodiments described above are merely illustrative, wherein the units described as separate components may or may not be physically separated, and the components displayed as units may or may not be physical units, that is, they may be located in one place, or they may be distributed on multiple network units. Some or all of the modules may be selected according to actual needs to achieve the purpose of the disclosed solution. A person of ordinary skill in the art can understand and implement it without paying any creative work.

[0085] Accordingly, the present disclosure further provides a control device for a cleaning device, comprising: a processor; and a memory for storing instructions executable by the processor; wherein the processor is configured to:

[0086] First, a pressure signal is obtained from the pressure sensor 14. The pressure signal is an electrical signal that indicates the magnitude of the pressure value sensed by the pressure sensor 14. Next, a determination is made as to whether the pressure value represented by the pressure signal is greater than a first threshold value. If not, the flow restricting member 132 is caused to completely block the liquid outlet 121. If so, a determination is made as to whether the pressure value represented by the pressure signal is less than a second threshold value. When the pressure value represented by the pressure signal is less than the second threshold value, the flow restricting member 132 is controlled to move to a position that partially blocks the liquid outlet 121. When the pressure value represented by the pressure signal is greater than the second threshold value, the flow restricting member 132 is controlled to move to a non-blocking position away from the liquid outlet 121.

[0087] It should be noted that when the pressure value represented by the pressure signal is less than the second threshold value and greater than the first threshold value, the flow limiting component 132 is controlled to move to a position that blocks part of the liquid outlet hole 121.

[0102] In addition, if Figure 12 As shown, the cleaning device 1 also includes a charging base 18, which is equipped with a wireless charging module 181. The main housing 11 is equipped with a power module 19. The power module 19 is conductively connected to the pressure sensor 14, flow controller 13, and wireless communication module 17 to provide power to the pressure sensor 14, flow controller 13, liquid metering sensor 16, and wireless communication module 17. When the main housing 11 is engaged with the charging base 18, the wireless charging module 181 corresponds to the power module 19 in position, and the power module 19 is charged through the cooperation of the wireless charging module and the power module 19.

[0103] Further, such as Figure 13 As shown, the charging base 18 includes a receiving groove 182, the dimensions of which match those of the main housing 11. The wireless charging module 181 is disposed at the bottom of the receiving groove 182.

This not only facilitates charging of the wireless charging module 181 and the power module 19, but also provides space for the cleaning device 1 to prevent it from slipping, thereby improving the hygiene of the cleaning device 1.

[0104] Furthermore, the charging base 18 also includes a power cord 183, which is conductively connected to the wireless charging module 181 to provide power for the operation of the wireless charging module 181. The power cord 183 extends from the side wall of the receiving groove 182 to avoid affecting the coordination between the charging base 18 and the cleaning device 1.

[0105] By placing the pressure sensor 14 on the grip portion 112 of the main housing 11 and enabling the flow controller 13's flow limiting member 132 to movably engage with the liquid outlet 121 of the cleaning liquid storage tank 12, the control module 131 of the flow controller 13 drives the flow limiting member 132 according to the pressure signal emitted by the pressure sensor 14, thereby changing the flow limiting area of ​​the flow limiting member 132 engaged with the liquid outlet 121. This structural arrangement allows the user, while holding and using the cleaning device 1, to control the flow rate of the cleaning liquid by utilizing the pressure exerted by their hand on the pressure sensor 14, ensuring that the desired amount of liquid is delivered at once, avoiding repeated squeezing, pouring, and other actions, and improving the user's convenience and intelligence when using the cleaning liquid.
