[0072] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features of the embodiments in this application can be combined with each other. The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0073] The present application is further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments. These embodiments should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection claimed in this application.

[0074] The following describes the cleaning method, device and computer equipment of the toilet camera device according to the embodiment of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0075] This embodiment mainly uses the controller (processor, or the controller of the entire toilet) in the cleaning system of the toilet camera device to control the corresponding components or parts in the system to execute the corresponding control logic. Therefore, the cleaning system of the toilet camera device is briefly introduced first. Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the cleaning system of a toilet camera device includes a nozzle assembly 100, a water supply assembly 200, and an air supply assembly 300. The nozzle assembly 100 specifically includes a nozzle 110, a water inlet 120, an air inlet 130, and a nozzle 140. The object being cleaned, the camera device 400, includes a camera screen 410. The nozzle 140 and camera screen 410 are arranged side by side, with the spray direction of the nozzle 140 parallel to the plane of the camera screen 410 to ensure effective cleaning. The water supply assembly 200 includes a water tank 210, a water supply pipe 220 connecting the water tank 210 and the water inlet 120, a second regulating component 230, a control manifold 240, and a third regulating component 250. The control manifold 240 connects to the water supply pipe 220 downstream of the second regulating component 230. The air supply assembly 300 includes an air supply unit 310, a first air outlet 320, an air supply pipe 330, a second air outlet 340, and a drive unit 350 (not shown). The first air outlet 320 is located on the side wall of the air supply unit 310 and is connected to the nozzle assembly 100 via the air supply pipe 330. The drive unit 350 is used to control the opening and closing of the second air outlet 340.

[0076] Since the cleaning system of the toilet camera device has multiple different working modes, the controller can control the cleaning system of the toilet camera device to work in different working modes.

[0077] Figure 3 This is a flow chart of a method for cleaning a toilet camera device according to an embodiment of the present application.

[0078] like Figure 3 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0079] S1, detecting the usage status of the toilet.

[0080] In this embodiment, the toilet can be controlled to enter different working modes by detecting the usage status of the toilet.

[0081] S2, determining whether the usage status of the toilet meets the first preset condition.

[0082] The first preset condition includes detecting that the toilet has been used up or that a preset cleaning time has been reached. For example, a start time can be preset, such as cleaning at 7 a.m. every Sunday.

[0083] S3, when the usage state of the toilet meets the first preset condition, controlling the cleaning device to clean the camera device in the first working mode or the second working mode.

[0084] For example, when it is detected that the user has changed from a sitting position to a standing position on the toilet, the toilet can be considered to have been used, and the cleaning device can be controlled to clean the camera device in a first operating mode. The first operating mode specifically includes: performing a first cleaning operation for a first preset duration, and performing a drying operation for a second preset duration. The first cleaning operation includes cleaning the camera device at a first water flow rate, and the drying operation includes drying the camera device at a first air volume.

[0085] The first cleaning operation specifically involves the following steps: Open the second regulating member 230 to allow water in the water tank 210 of the water supply assembly 200 to enter the nozzle assembly 100 through the water supply pipe 220 and be sprayed out by the nozzle 140 of the nozzle assembly 100, thereby cleaning the camera screen 410. The drying operation specifically involves the following steps: Close the second air outlet 340 of the air supply assembly 300 and open the air supply assembly 300 to allow air in the air supply assembly 300 to enter the nozzle assembly 100 through the air supply pipe 330 and be sprayed out by the nozzle 140 of the nozzle assembly 100, thereby drying the camera screen 410.

[0086] Of course, if the camera device is highly contaminated or is difficult to clean, the cleaning device can be directly controlled to clean the camera device in the second working mode. The second working mode specifically includes: performing a second cleaning operation for a third preset time and performing a drying operation for a fourth preset time.

[0087] The second cleaning operation includes cleaning the camera device with a second water flow rate and a second air volume, wherein the second air volume is greater than the first air volume. The specific operating steps of the second cleaning operation are as follows: opening the second regulating component 230 to allow water in the water tank 210 of the water supply assembly 200 to enter the nozzle assembly 100 through the water supply pipe 220 and be ejected from the nozzle 140 of the nozzle assembly 100; simultaneously, closing the second air outlet 340 of the air supply assembly 300 and opening the air supply assembly 300 to allow air in the air supply assembly 300 to enter the nozzle assembly 100 through the air supply pipe 330 and be ejected from the nozzle 140 of the nozzle assembly 100. It should be understood that the air volume in the second cleaning operation is greater than the air volume in the drying operation. That is, by increasing the drying air volume and combining it with an appropriate amount of water, the water and air are mixed to produce water droplets with a higher flow rate, thereby cleaning stubborn stains.

[0088] The cleaning method of the toilet camera device of this embodiment can automatically clean the camera device. The cleaning is timely and convenient, no manual operation is required, and it is more intelligent, ensuring the cleanliness of the camera device, thereby ensuring the success rate of image detection and improving the practicality of the product.

[0089] In another embodiment of the present application, Figure 4 As shown, the method for cleaning the toilet camera device further includes the following steps:

[0090] S4, before controlling the cleaning device to clean the camera device in the first working mode, determining whether the camera device of the toilet meets the cleaning condition.

[0091] Before cleaning the camera device, it is necessary to first determine whether the toilet camera device meets the cleaning conditions. If the cleaning conditions are met, the camera device needs to be cleaned; if the cleaning conditions are not met, the camera device does not need to be cleaned. In other words, if the toilet usage status meets the first preset conditions, the camera device does not need to be cleaned every time, which can save resources.

[0092] The specific process of determining whether the camera device of the toilet meets the cleaning conditions is as follows:

[0093] First, image information from the camera device is acquired. This image information is then compared with preset image information. The degree of contamination of the camera device is determined based on the comparison result. Based on the degree of contamination, it is then determined that the camera device meets cleaning requirements. The preset image information may be an initial factory image, which is the cleanest possible state. The image information from the camera device is compared with the preset image information. The greater the difference, the dirtier the camera device. When the degree of contamination reaches a certain level, it is determined that the camera device requires cleaning.

[0094] In another embodiment of the present application, Figure 5 As shown, the method for cleaning the toilet camera device further includes the following steps:

[0095] S5 , after controlling the cleaning device to clean the imaging device in the first working mode, determining whether the imaging device needs to be cleaned again.

[0096] S6: If the camera device needs to be cleaned again, control the cleaning device to clean the camera device a second time in the second working mode.

[0097] This embodiment aims to clean the camera device again in the second working mode in case the camera device is not cleaned thoroughly by the first working mode, so as to achieve the purpose of cleaning the camera device thoroughly.

[0098] In another embodiment of the present application, Figure 6 As shown, the method for cleaning the toilet camera device further includes the following steps:

[0099] S7 , before controlling the cleaning device to clean the imaging device in the first working mode, controlling the cleaning device to operate in the third working mode.

[0100] The third operating mode specifically involves wetting the camera device for a fifth preset duration. The wetting operation includes wetting the camera device at a third water flow rate and a third air volume, where the third water flow rate is less than the second water flow rate. The wetting operation specifically involves the following steps: opening the second regulating component 230 to allow water from the water tank 210 of the water supply assembly 200 to enter the nozzle assembly 100 through the water supply pipe 220 and be sprayed out from the nozzle 140 of the nozzle assembly 100. Simultaneously, the second air outlet 340 of the air supply assembly 300 is closed, and the air supply assembly 300 is opened to allow air from the air supply assembly 300 to enter the nozzle assembly 100 through the air supply pipe 330 and be sprayed out from the nozzle 140 of the nozzle assembly 100, forming a water mist that wets the camera screen 410 for easier cleaning. The third operating mode can be activated before the first operating mode to perform a wetting operation before cleaning the camera device, facilitating cleaning.

[0101] In a specific embodiment of the present application, Figure 7 As shown, the method for cleaning the toilet camera device further includes the following steps:

[0102] S8, when the usage status of the toilet meets the second preset condition, controlling the cleaning device to operate in the fourth working mode.

[0103] The second preset condition includes detecting that the toilet is being used, such as detecting that a user is sitting on the toilet seat.

[0104] The fourth operating mode specifically includes performing routine protective operations on the camera device, which includes supplying air to the camera device at a fourth air volume to protect the camera device. The specific operating steps for the routine protective operations are as follows: closing the second air outlet 340 of the air supply assembly 300 and opening the air supply assembly 300 so that air in the air supply assembly 300 enters the nozzle assembly 100 through the air supply pipe 330 and is ejected from the nozzle 140 of the nozzle assembly 100, continuously providing air to blow on the surface of the camera screen 410, forming a wind curtain protective layer to prevent dust from adhering to or water droplets from splashing on the camera screen 410, thereby achieving the purpose of routine protective operations.

[0105] In order to implement the above embodiment, the present application also proposes a cleaning device for a toilet camera device.

[0106] Figure 8 It is a structural schematic diagram of a cleaning device of a toilet camera device according to an embodiment of the present application.

[0107] like Figure 8 As shown, the device includes a detection module 81 , a judgment module 82 and a control module 83 .

[0108] The detection module 81 is used to detect the usage status of the toilet.

[0109] The judging module 82 is used to judge whether the use status of the toilet meets a first preset condition. The first preset condition includes detecting that the toilet has been used or a preset cleaning time has been reached.

[0110] The control module 83 is configured to control the cleaning device to clean the camera device in the first working mode or the second working mode when the usage status of the toilet meets the first preset condition.

[0111] The control module 83 is specifically configured to perform a first cleaning operation for a first preset duration and a drying operation for a second preset duration, wherein the first cleaning operation includes cleaning the camera device with a first water flow rate, and the drying operation includes drying the camera device with a first air flow rate.

The cleaning is timely and convenient, and no manual operation is required. It is more intelligent, ensures the cleanliness of the camera device, and further ensures the success rate of image detection, thereby improving the practicality of the product.

[0115] In another embodiment of the present invention, Figure 9 As shown, the device further includes a determination module 84 .

[0116] The determination module 84 is configured to determine whether the camera device of the toilet meets a cleaning condition before controlling the cleaning device to clean the camera device in the first working mode.

[0117] The determination module 84 is specifically used to: obtain image information of the camera device; compare the image information with preset image information and determine the degree of dirtiness of the camera device according to the comparison result; and determine whether the camera device meets the cleaning conditions based on the degree of dirtiness of the camera device.

[0122] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the control module 83 is further configured to control the cleaning device to operate in the fourth working mode when the use status of the toilet meets a second preset condition, wherein the second preset condition includes detecting that the toilet is started to be used.

[0123] The control module 83 is specifically used to perform daily protection operations on the camera device, where the daily protection operations include supplying air to the camera device at a fourth air volume to protect the camera device.

[0124] In order to implement the above embodiments, the present application also proposes a computer device.

[0125] The computer device includes a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor. When the processor executes the computer program, the cleaning method of the toilet camera device according to the first embodiment is implemented.
