[0083] The technical solutions of the present application will be described clearly and completely in combination with the drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are some of the embodiments of the present application, but not all the embodiments. The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and in combination with the embodiments. It should be noted that the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0084] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second" and the like in the specification and claims of the present application and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and do not necessarily describe a specific order or sequence.

[0085] In the present application, the orientation words such as "up", "down", "top", "bottom" used without the opposite description are generally directed to the direction shown in the drawings, or to the vertical, perpendicular or gravity direction of the components themselves; similarly, for the convenience of understanding and description, "inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer relative to the contour of the components themselves, but the above-mentioned orientation words are not used to limit the present application.

[0086] Figure 1 And Figure 2 is a structural schematic diagram of a cleaning device provided by an embodiment of the present application. The cleaning device can be a sweeper, a vacuum cleaner, a mop, or other electronic devices with cleaning functions. The present embodiment does not limit the type of cleaning device. As shown in Figure 1 The cleaning device 10 at least includes a device water tank 110 and a device water conveying channel 120 connected with the device water tank 110.

[0087] The device water tank 110 is used to contain liquid. The device water tank 110 includes a device clean water tank 111 and / or a device sewage tank 112.

[0088] The liquid contained in the device clean water tank 111 mainly plays a cleaning role. The liquid can be clean water, or detergent, etc. The present embodiment does not limit the type of liquid contained in the device clean water tank 111.

[0089] Optionally, the number of device clean water tanks 111 can be one or at least two. In the case of at least two device clean water tanks 111, the types of liquid contained in different device clean water tanks 111 are the same or different.

[0090] Optionally, the device clean water tank 111 is detachably installed on the cleaning device 10, or can also be fixedly arranged on the cleaning device 10.

[0091] Correspondingly, the water supply passage includes a device water adding passage 121 connected with the device water tank 111. The device water adding passage 121 is used to add liquid to the device water tank 111. Specifically, one end of the device water adding passage 121 is connected with an external pipeline, and the other end is connected with the device water tank 111.

[0092] In order to prevent the liquid in the device water tank 111 from leaking out of the cleaning device 10 through the one end of the device water adding passage 121 when the device water tank 111 is not added with water, the one end of the device water adding passage 121 is provided with a sealing assembly. The sealing assembly seals the one end of the device water adding passage 121 when the device water adding passage 121 is not connected with the external pipeline, and makes the device water adding passage 121 conductive when the device water adding passage 121 is connected with the external pipeline.

[0093] In one example, the sealing assembly includes a cutout. The cutout is closed under the action of an external force meeting a requirement (for example, greater than a certain threshold) to seal the one end of the device water adding passage 121, and is opened under the action of the external force meeting the requirement to make the one end of the device water adding passage 121 conductive.

[0094] Alternatively, the device water adding passage 121 is provided with a switch assembly. The switch assembly makes the device water adding passage 121 not conductive when the device water adding passage 121 is not connected with the external pipeline, and makes the device water adding passage 121 conductive when the device water adding passage 121 is connected with the external pipeline. The switch assembly can be manually controlled to be turned on or off, or can also be controlled to be turned on or off by a device controller on the cleaning device 10, and the embodiment does not limit the switching mode of the switch assembly.

[0095] The switch assembly can be a solenoid valve, a switch valve, etc., and the embodiment does not limit the implementation mode of the switch assembly.

[0096] Alternatively, in order to improve the water adding efficiency of the device water adding passage 121, a water pump is arranged in the device water adding passage 121 to pump liquid to the device water tank 111 during water adding. The water pump does not work when the device water adding passage 121 is not connected with the external pipeline, and at this time, the device water adding passage 121 is not conductive due to a one-way valve arranged in the water pump. The water pump works when the device water adding passage 121 is connected with the external pipeline, and at this time, the one-way valve in the water pump makes the device water adding passage 121 conductive.

[0097] The traditional cleaning device 10 does not include the device water adding channel 121, so that the user needs to manually disassemble the device clean water tank 111 to add liquid, which causes the problem of low liquid adding efficiency. In the embodiment, by adding the device water adding channel 121 in the cleaning device 10, only the external water source needs to be connected with the device water adding channel 121 to add liquid to the device clean water tank 111, which can simplify the liquid adding operation and improve the liquid adding efficiency.

[0098] In the case that the device clean water tank 111 is detachably installed on the cleaning device 10, the device clean water tank 111 is detachably connected with the device water adding channel 121. In this way, when the device clean water tank 111 is detached from the cleaning device 10, the device water adding channel 121 is still on the cleaning device 10 and will not be separated from the cleaning device 10 along with the device clean water tank 111. Optionally, the detachable connection between the device clean water tank 111 and the device water adding channel 121 includes but is not limited to plug-in connection, threaded connection, etc. The embodiment does not limit the detachable connection between the device clean water tank 111 and the device water adding channel 121.

[0099] In the case that the device clean water tank 111 is fixedly installed on the cleaning device 10, the device clean water tank 111 is fixedly connected or detachably connected with the device water adding channel 121.

[0100] Optionally, the cleaning device 10 is provided with a first clean water detection mechanism 130, and the first clean water detection mechanism 130 is configured to detect the water amount of the device clean water tank 111.

[0101] The first clean water detection mechanism 130 includes but is not limited to a water level sensor, an image sensor, or a pressure sensor, etc. The embodiment does not limit the implementation of the first clean water detection mechanism 130.

[0102] Optionally, the cleaning device 10 is provided with a device controller, and the device controller is connected with the first clean water detection mechanism 130 to obtain the water amount detected by the first clean water detection mechanism 130 and perform a first control operation according to the water amount detected by the first clean water detection mechanism 130.

[0103] Illustratively, performing the first control operation according to the water amount detected by the first clean water detection mechanism 130 includes: outputting a water adding prompt in the case that the water amount detected by the first clean water detection mechanism 130 is less than a first water amount threshold.

[0104] The water adding prompt can be a buzzer sound played through a buzzer, and accordingly, the cleaning device 10 is further provided with a buzzer connected to the device controller; and / or the water adding prompt can be a light signal output through an LED lamp, and accordingly, the cleaning device 10 is further provided with at least one LED lamp connected to the device controller. In other embodiments, the water adding prompt can also be a voice prompt, a vibration prompt, etc., and the present embodiment does not limit the implementation manner of the water adding prompt.

[0105] In addition, the first control operation performed by the device controller can also be other operations, such as: performing a water adding control operation (which will be described in detail below), and the present embodiment does not limit the type of the first control operation.

[0106] The device sewage tank 112 mainly serves to recover sewage. Optionally, the number of the device sewage tank 112 can be one or at least two.

[0107] Optionally, the device sewage tank 112 is detachably installed on the cleaning device 10, or can also be fixedly arranged on the cleaning device 10.

[0108] Correspondingly, the water delivery channel includes a device drainage channel 122 connected to the device sewage tank 112. The device drainage channel 122 is used to drain the liquid in the device sewage tank 112. Specifically, one end of the device drainage channel 122 is supported to be connected to the outside of the cleaning device 10, and the other end is connected to the device sewage tank 112.

[0109] In order to prevent the sewage in the device sewage tank 112 from leaking to the outside of the cleaning device 10 through one end of the device drainage channel 122 when the device sewage tank 112 is not drained, one end of the device drainage channel 122 is provided with a sealing assembly. The sealing assembly seals one end of the device drainage channel 122 when the device drainage channel 122 is not connected to the external pipeline, and makes the device drainage channel 122 conductive when the device drainage channel 122 is connected to the external pipeline.

[0110] Alternatively, the device drainage channel 122 is provided with a switch assembly, which makes the device drainage channel 122 not conductive when the device drainage channel 122 is not connected to the external pipeline, and makes the device drainage channel 122 conductive when the device drainage channel 122 is connected to the external pipeline. The switch assembly can be manually controlled to be turned on or off, or can also be controlled to be turned on or off through the device controller on the cleaning device 10, and the present embodiment does not limit the switching manner of the switch assembly.

[0111] Alternatively, in order to improve the drainage efficiency of the equipment drainage channel 122, a water pump is arranged in the equipment drainage channel 122 to drain the sewage in the equipment sewage tank 112 outside the cleaning equipment 10 during the drainage process. Wherein, the water pump does not work when the equipment drainage channel 122 is not connected with the external pipeline, at this time, the one-way valve arranged in the water pump makes the equipment drainage channel 122 not conductive. The water pump works when the equipment drainage channel 122 is connected with the external pipeline, at this time, the one-way valve in the water pump makes the equipment drainage channel 122 conductive.

[0112] In other embodiments, the equipment drainage channel 122 can also not be provided with a water pump, in the case that the external water collecting mechanism is located on the ground, the sewage can be drained to the external water collecting mechanism by air pressure; in the case that the height of the external water collecting mechanism is higher than the ground, the sewage can be drained by arranging a water pump in the external pipeline connected with the equipment drainage channel 122, the embodiment does not limit the drainage mode.

[0113] The conventional cleaning equipment 10 does not include the equipment drainage channel 122, so that the user needs to manually disassemble the equipment sewage tank 112 to drain the liquid, which leads to the problem of low liquid adding efficiency. In the embodiment, by adding the equipment drainage channel 122 in the cleaning equipment 10, only the equipment drainage channel 122 needs to be connected with the external water collecting mechanism, and the sewage in the equipment sewage tank 112 can be drained through the equipment drainage channel 122, which can simplify the drainage operation and improve the drainage efficiency.

[0114] In the case that the equipment sewage tank 112 is detachably installed on the cleaning equipment 10, the equipment sewage tank 112 is detachably connected with the equipment drainage channel 122. In this way, it can be ensured that when the equipment sewage tank 112 is detached from the cleaning equipment 10, the equipment drainage channel 122 is still on the cleaning equipment 10 and does not separate from the cleaning equipment 10 with the equipment sewage tank 112. Alternatively, the detachable connection between the equipment sewage tank 112 and the equipment drainage channel 122 includes but is not limited to plug-in connection, threaded connection, etc., and the embodiment does not limit the detachable connection between the equipment sewage tank 112 and the equipment drainage channel 122.

[0115] In the case that the equipment sewage tank 112 is fixedly installed on the cleaning equipment 10, the equipment sewage tank 112 is fixedly connected or detachably connected with the equipment drainage channel 122.

[0116] Alternatively, the cleaning equipment 10 is provided with a first sewage detection mechanism 140, and the first sewage detection mechanism 140 is used to detect the water amount of the equipment sewage tank 112.

[0117] The first sewage detection mechanism 140 and the first clean water detection mechanism 130 are of the same type or different types. The first sewage detection mechanism 140 includes, but is not limited to, a water level sensor, an image sensor, or a pressure sensor, etc. The implementation of the first sewage detection mechanism 140 is not limited in the embodiment.

[0118] Optionally, the device controller is connected to the first sewage detection mechanism 140 to obtain the water amount detected by the first sewage detection mechanism 140, and performs the second control operation according to the water amount detected by the first sewage detection mechanism 140.

[0119] Illustratively, the second control operation performed according to the water amount detected by the first sewage detection mechanism 140 includes: outputting a drainage prompt when the water amount detected by the first sewage detection mechanism 140 is greater than or equal to a third water amount threshold.

[0120] The drainage prompt is different from the water adding prompt. The drainage prompt can be a beeping sound played by a buzzer. Correspondingly, the cleaning device 10 is further provided with the buzzer connected to the device controller. Alternatively, the drainage prompt can be a light signal output by an LED lamp. Correspondingly, the cleaning device 10 is further provided with at least one LED lamp connected to the device controller. In other embodiments, the drainage prompt can also be a voice prompt, a vibration prompt, etc. The implementation of the drainage prompt is not limited in the embodiment.

[0121] In addition, the second control operation performed by the device controller can also be other operations, such as performing a drainage control operation (detailed below), and the type of the second control operation is not limited in the embodiment.

[0122] In the embodiment, the cleaning device 10 further includes other components used during work, such as a cleaning assembly 150, a cleaning pipeline 160, and a power supply assembly (not shown in the figure), etc.

[0123] Reference Figure 2 The cleaning assembly 150 is used to clean the surface to be cleaned of the cleaning device 10. The surface to be cleaned can be a ground, a table top, a wall, a solar cell surface, etc. The type of the surface to be cleaned is not limited in the embodiment.

[0124] Illustratively, the cleaning assembly 150 includes a driving member and a cleaning member 151. During the work (cleaning or self-cleaning) of the cleaning device 10, the driving member drives the cleaning member 151 to move. Optionally, the cleaning member 151 can be a roller brush, a cloth, a brush, etc. The type of the cleaning member 151 is not limited in the embodiment.

[0125] One end of the cleaning pipeline 160 is connected to the device water tank 110, and the other end faces the cleaning member 151 or the surface to be cleaned.

[0126] Optionally, in the case that the device water tank 110 comprises a device clean water tank 111, the cleaning pipeline 160 comprises a clean water pipeline 161, which is used to transport water in the device clean water tank 111 to the cleaning member 151 or the surface to be cleaned. Generally, a water pump is arranged in the clean water pipeline 161 to pump water in the device clean water tank 111 to the cleaning member 151 or the surface to be cleaned.

[0127] In the case that the device water tank 110 comprises a device dirty water tank 112, the cleaning pipeline 160 comprises a dirty water pipeline 162, which is used to suck dirty water generated during the operation to the device dirty water tank 112. Generally, a water suction motor is arranged in the dirty water pipeline 162 to suck dirty water to the device dirty water tank 112.

[0128] The power supply assembly is used to provide power for the cleaning device 10 during the operation, which can be a battery pack, or an external power plug interface, etc. The implementation of the power supply assembly is not limited in the embodiment.

[0129] It should be noted that the cleaning device 10 can also comprise other components required during the operation, such as a handle, a signal processing circuit, etc. The embodiments will not be enumerated here.

[0130] The cleaning device 10 in the application is suitable for docking with the base 20. Referring to the docking schematic view shown in Figure 3 Generally, the base is used to charge the cleaning device, and / or to perform self-cleaning operation for the cleaning device. The base is usually arranged at a fixed position. In the case that the cleaning device has a charging requirement, or has a self-cleaning requirement, it is moved (which can be manual or automatic) to the base to dock with the base.

[0131] According to the structure of the cleaning device described above, although the device water channel arranged on the cleaning device does not need to be manually disassembled by the user, water can be added and drained. However, the user still needs to manually dock the external pipeline with the device water channel, which will cause the problem of complex docking operation, thereby causing the problem of low water adding and draining efficiency.

[0132] To solve the above technical problems, the base provided in the present application has the function of adjusting the water amount in the water tank of the cleaning device. Specifically, the base is provided with a base water supply channel, one end of the base water supply channel being adapted to be connected to the outside of the base, and the other end of the base water supply channel being adapted to be connected to the device water supply channel when the base is connected to the cleaning device. In this way, the user only needs to connect the cleaning device to the base, and the automatic connection of the base water supply channel and the device water supply channel can be realized. Since the base water supply channel is connected to the outside of the base, the user does not need to manually install the pipeline, and the external water source can be introduced into the device water supply channel, thereby improving the water filling efficiency. Alternatively, the device water supply channel can be led out to the outside, thereby improving the water draining efficiency.

[0133] The structure of the base will be described in detail below. In the following embodiments, the base corresponding to the case where the device water tank includes a device clean water tank and the base corresponding to the case where the device water tank includes a device dirty water tank are described respectively. In actual implementation, the base can include both the device clean water tank and the device dirty water tank, in which case, the structures in the respective base embodiments only need to be integrated in the same base, and the present embodiment will not be described here.

[0134] First, the base adapted to the case where the device water tank includes a device clean water tank.

[0135] Figure 4 And Figure 5 is a structural schematic diagram of the base provided in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in the figure, the base 20 at least includes a base water supply channel 210.

[0136] One end of the base water supply channel 210 is adapted to be connected to an external water source, and the other end of the base water supply channel 210 is adapted to be connected to one end of a device water supply channel in the cleaning device when the base is connected to the cleaning device. The other end of the device water supply channel is connected to a device clean water tank in the cleaning device.

[0137] The external water source is used to provide a water source, and the external water source can be a faucet, a water pipe, etc. The implementation of the external water source is not limited in the present embodiment. Since the position of the base is usually fixed, the problem of repeated plugging and unplugging between the pipes can be avoided by connecting the base water supply channel 210 to the external water source, thereby improving the efficiency of filling water into the device clean water tank.

[0138] The base water supply channel 210 is a pipeline for transporting liquid, and is different from a water tank for containing liquid. Optionally, the base water supply channel 210 can be a nylon pipe, a hose, etc. The material of the base water supply channel 210 is not limited in the present embodiment.

[0139] Optionally, one end of the base water supply channel 210 can extend out of the base by a certain length to be directly connected to a faucet. Alternatively, an external water source interface is provided on the base, and one end of the base water supply channel 210 is connected to the external water source interface, and the external water source is also connected to the external water source interface through a water pipe. In actual implementation, the other end of the base water supply channel 210 can also be implemented by other implementation manners, which will not be enumerated one by one in the present embodiment.

[0140] Optionally, in order to prevent the problem of water leakage of the base water supply channel 210 when the base is not connected to the cleaning device, the other end of the base water supply channel 210 is provided with a sealing assembly. The sealing assembly has a state of connecting the other end of the base water supply channel 210 to one end of the device water supply channel and a state of sealing the other end of the base water supply channel 210.

[0141] Illustratively, the sealing assembly includes a cutout. In the case where the other end of the device water supply channel is connected to one end of the device water supply channel, the other end of the device water supply channel and one end of the device water supply channel are nested with each other and interference fit. At this time, in the process of inserting one end of the device water supply channel into the other end of the base water supply channel 210, a force is applied to the cutout on the sealing assembly, and at this time, the state of the sealing assembly is to connect the other end of the base water supply channel 210 to one end of the device water supply channel. In the case where the other end of the device water supply channel is not connected to one end of the device water supply channel, the state of the sealing assembly is to seal the other end of the base water supply channel 210.

[0142] Optionally, the implementation of the base water supply channel 210 includes the following two kinds: the first kind is not through the base clean water tank 220; the second kind is through the base clean water tank 220. The implementation of the two kinds of base water supply channels 210 will be introduced respectively as follows.

[0143] The first kind: referring to Figure 4 , the base water supply channel 210 does not pass through the base clean water tank 220. In other words, the base water supply channel 210 is an uninterrupted water supply channel. At this time, the base can not be provided with the base clean water tank 220, and the external water source can be introduced into the device water supply channel.

[0144] Optionally, a water pump is provided in the base water supply channel 210 to pump the external water source to the device water supply channel. At this time, the water pump can unidirectionally conduct the base water supply channel 210 when it works, and can close the base water supply channel 210 when it does not work, so that the sealing assembly can not be provided at the other end of the base water supply channel 210.

[0145] Optionally, the base further includes a water supply switch assembly provided in the base water supply channel 210. The water supply switch assembly makes the base water supply channel 210 conductive or closed. At this time, the sealing assembly can not be provided at the other end of the base water supply channel 210.

[0146] The water adding switch assembly includes, but is not limited to, a solenoid valve, or a switch valve, etc. The embodiment does not limit the implementation of the water adding switch assembly.

[0147] Illustratively, the water adding switch assembly turns on the base water adding channel 210 based on the detection result of the first clean water detection mechanism to connect the external water source to the device water adding channel to add water to the device clean water tank; or turns off the base water adding channel 210 based on the detection result of the first clean water detection mechanism.

[0148] For example, in the case where the detection result of the first clean water detection mechanism is a first result, the water adding switch assembly is turned on to turn on the base water adding channel 210; the first result indicates that the water amount of the device clean water tank is less than a first water amount threshold. In the case where the detection result of the first clean water detection mechanism is a second result, the water adding switch assembly is turned off to turn off the base water adding channel 210; the second result indicates that the water amount of the device clean water tank is greater than or equal to the first water amount threshold.

[0149] The first water amount threshold can be the minimum water amount required for the cleaning device to work, or a value slightly greater than the minimum water amount, or a value set by a user. The embodiment does not limit the setting method of the first water amount threshold.

[0150] The switch of the water adding switch assembly can be manually controlled; or can also be controlled by a controller.

[0151] In the case where the water adding switch assembly is controlled by the controller, one case is that the water adding switch assembly is controlled by a base controller arranged on the base. At this time, the water adding switch assembly and the base controller are arranged on the base, and the base controller is connected with the water adding switch assembly to control the water adding switch assembly.

[0152] Another case is that the water adding switch assembly is controlled by a device controller arranged on the cleaning device. Correspondingly, the first control operation performed by the device controller includes an operation of controlling the water adding switch assembly to turn on or turn off. At this time, in the case where the base is docked with the cleaning device, the water adding switch assembly is connected with the device controller through the docked signal line; or the water adding switch assembly is connected with the base controller, and the base controller is connected with the device controller through the docked signal line. In this way, the device controller can control the water adding switch assembly through the signal line.

[0153] In other embodiments, the water adding switch assembly and the device controller can also be provided with wireless communication components, and the water adding switch assembly and the device controller are connected in wireless communication; or the water adding switch assembly is connected to the base controller, and the base controller and the device controller are provided with wireless communication components, and the base controller and the device controller are connected in wireless communication, so that the device controller can control the water adding switch assembly through wireless signals.

[0154] The water adding switch assembly is controlled by the controller (the base controller or the device controller), and the controller controls the water adding switch assembly to be turned on to turn on the base water adding channel 210 when the detection result of the first clean water detection mechanism is the first result. The controller controls the water adding switch assembly to be turned off to turn off the base water adding channel 210 when the detection result of the first clean water detection mechanism is the second result.

[0155] Secondly, with reference to Figure 5 , the base water adding channel 210 passes through the base clean water tank 220, and at this time, the base further includes the base clean water tank 220. In other words, the base water adding channel 210 is divided into two sections by the base clean water tank 220, that is, the base water adding channel 210 includes the first water adding channel 211 and the second water adding channel 212.

[0156] One end of the first water adding channel 211 is connected to the base clean water tank 220, and the other end of the first water adding channel 211 is connected to one end of the device water adding channel in the cleaning device when the base is connected to the cleaning device.

[0157] One end of the second water adding channel 212 is connected to the base clean water tank 220, and the other end of the second water adding channel 212 is adapted to be connected to an external water source.

[0158] The base clean water tank 220 is used to store the liquid required by the device clean water tank. When the amount of water in the base clean water tank 220 is sufficient, the device clean water tank can be added with water through the base clean water tank 220, and at this time, only the first water adding channel 211 is turned on.

[0159] Optionally, the first water adding channel 211 is provided with a first switch assembly. The first switch assembly makes the first water adding channel 211 be turned on or turned off. At this time, the sealing assembly can not be arranged at the other end of the first water adding channel 211.

[0160] The first switch assembly includes but is not limited to a solenoid valve, or a switch valve, etc., and the implementation of the first switch assembly is not limited in the present embodiment.

[0161] Illustratively, the first switch assembly is turned on based on the detection result of the first clean water detection mechanism to turn on the first water adding channel 211 to add water from the external water source to the device water adding channel for the device clean water tank; or, the first switch assembly is turned off based on the detection result of the first clean water detection mechanism to turn off the first water adding channel 211.

[0162] For example, in the case where the detection result of the first clean water detection mechanism is a first result, the first switch assembly is turned on to turn on the first water adding channel 211; the first result indicates that the water amount of the device clean water tank is less than a first water amount threshold. In the case where the detection result of the first clean water detection mechanism is a second result, the first switch assembly is turned off to turn off the first water adding channel 211; the second result indicates that the water amount of the device clean water tank is greater than or equal to the first water amount threshold.

[0163] The switch of the first switch assembly can be manually controlled; or, the switch of the first switch assembly can also be controlled by the controller.

[0164] The related description of the first switch assembly in the case where the first switch assembly is controlled by the controller can refer to the description of the water adding switch assembly, which will not be repeated here.

[0165] In the case where the first switch assembly is controlled by the controller (the base controller or the device controller), the controller controls the first switch assembly to be turned on to connect the liquid in the base clean water tank 220 to the device water adding channel in the case where the detection result of the first clean water detection mechanism is a first result. The controller controls the first switch assembly to be turned off to turn off the first water adding channel 211 in the case where the detection result of the first clean water detection mechanism is a second result.

[0166] In the case where the water amount of the base clean water tank 220 is insufficient, the external water source can be used to add water to the base clean water tank 220 by turning on the second water adding channel 212. Correspondingly, the second water adding channel 212 is provided with a second switch assembly, and the second switch assembly is used to turn on or turn off the second water adding channel 212.

[0167] The second switch assembly includes but is not limited to an electromagnetic valve or a switch valve, and the implementation of the second switch assembly is not limited in the present embodiment.

[0168] The switch of the second switch assembly can be manually controlled, i.e., the second water adding channel 212 is manually turned on or turned off to add water to the base clean water tank 220; or, the switch of the second switch assembly can also be controlled by the controller. The related description of the second switch assembly in the case where the second switch assembly is controlled by the controller can refer to the description of the water adding switch assembly, which will not be repeated here.

[0169] Optionally, the base further comprises a second clean water detection mechanism 230 to detect the amount of water in the base clean water tank 220. At this time, the second switch assembly turns on the second water adding channel 212 or closes the second water adding channel 212 based on the detection result of the second clean water detection mechanism 230.

[0170] The second clean water detection mechanism 230 is of the same type or different type as the first clean water detection mechanism. Optionally, the second clean water detection mechanism 230 includes but is not limited to a water level sensor, an image sensor, or a pressure sensor, etc., and the implementation of the second clean water detection mechanism 230 is not limited in the embodiment.

[0171] Illustratively, the second switch assembly turns on the second water adding channel 212 based on the detection result of the second clean water detection mechanism 230 to add water from the external water source to the device water adding channel to add water to the device clean water tank; or, the second switch assembly closes the second water adding channel 212 based on the detection result of the second clean water detection mechanism 230.

[0172] For example, in the case that the detection result of the second clean water detection mechanism 230 is a third result, the second switch assembly turns on the second water adding channel 212; the third result indicates that the amount of water in the base clean water tank 220 is less than a second water amount threshold.

[0173] In the case that the detection result of the second clean water detection mechanism 230 is a fourth result, the second switch assembly closes the second water adding channel 212; the fourth result indicates that the amount of water in the base clean water tank 220 is greater than or equal to the second water amount threshold.

[0174] The second water amount threshold is greater than or equal to 0, and the second water amount threshold can be set by the user or be a pre-set fixed value, and the value of the second water amount threshold is not limited in the embodiment.

[0175] The second switch assembly is controlled by the controller (the base controller or the device controller), and the controller controls the second switch assembly to turn on to turn on the second water adding channel 212 in the case that the detection result of the second clean water detection mechanism 230 is the third result.

[0176] The controller controls the second switch assembly to close to close the second water adding channel 212 in the case that the detection result of the second clean water detection mechanism 230 is the fourth result.

[0177] Optionally, the first water adding channel 211 and the second water adding channel 212 can be turned on or closed at the same time, or one of them is turned on and the other is closed, and the switching time of the first water adding channel 211 and the second water adding channel 212 can be set based on the use demand, and the switching time of the first water adding channel 211 and the second water adding channel 212 is not limited in the embodiment.

[0178] In summary, the base provided by the embodiment can solve the problem of low water adding efficiency for the device water tank by setting a base water adding channel, one end of the base water adding channel is adapted to access an external water source, in the case of the base being connected with the cleaning device, the other end of the base water adding channel is connected with one end of a device water adding channel in the cleaning device, and the other end of the device water adding channel is connected with the device clean water tank in the cleaning device.

[0179] In addition, by automatically turning on or off the base water adding channel based on the water amount of the device clean water tank, the device clean water tank can be automatically added with water based on the water amount of the device clean water tank, the water adding efficiency of the device clean water tank is further improved, and the intelligent degree of water adding of the device clean water tank is improved.

[0180] In addition, by setting the base clean water tank on the base, the device clean water tank can be ensured to be added with water by the liquid in the base clean water tank in the case of no external water source, and the timeliness of water adding of the device clean water tank is ensured.

[0181] In addition, by automatically turning on or off the second water adding channel based on the water amount of the base clean water tank, the base clean water tank can be automatically added with water based on the water amount of the base clean water tank, the water adding efficiency and the intelligent degree of water adding of the base clean water tank are improved.

[0182] Second, the base adapted to the case that the device water tank includes a device sewage tank.

[0183] Figure 4 And Figure 5 is a structural schematic diagram of the base provided by an embodiment of the application. As shown in the figure, the base 20 at least includes a base drainage channel 240.

[0184] One end of the base drainage channel 240 is adapted to access an external water collection mechanism, in the case of the base 20 being connected with the cleaning device, the other end of the base drainage channel 240 is connected with one end of a device drainage channel in the cleaning device, and the other end of the device drainage channel is connected with the device sewage tank in the cleaning device.

[0185] The external water collection mechanism is used to receive the liquid discharged by the base drainage channel 240, and the external water collection mechanism can be a sewer, a water pool, etc., and the embodiment does not limit the implementation manner of the external water collection mechanism. Since the position of the base 20 is usually unchanged, by connecting the base drainage channel 240 with the external water collection mechanism, the problem of repeated plugging and unplugging between pipes can be avoided, and the efficiency of draining water for the device sewage tank is improved.

[0186] The base drainage channel 240 is a pipe for transporting liquid, which is different from the water tank for containing liquid. Optionally, the base drainage channel 240 can be a nylon pipe, a hose, or the like, and the material of the base drainage channel 240 is not limited in the embodiment.

[0187] Optionally, one end of the base drainage channel 240 can extend out of the base 20 by a certain length to be directly connected to a faucet. Alternatively, an external water collection interface is arranged on the base 20, and one end of the base drainage channel 240 is connected to the external water collection interface, and the external water collection mechanism is also connected to the external water collection interface through a pipeline. In actual implementation, one end of the base drainage channel 240 can also be implemented by other implementation manners, which are not enumerated one by one in the embodiment.

[0188] Optionally, in order to prevent the problem of water leakage of the base drainage channel 240 when the base 20 is not connected to the cleaning device, the other end of the base drainage channel 240 is provided with a sealing assembly. The sealing assembly has a state of connecting the other end of the base drainage channel 240 to one end of the device drainage channel and a state of sealing the other end of the base drainage channel 240.

[0189] Illustratively, the sealing assembly includes a cutout. In the case that the other end of the device drainage channel is connected to one end of the device drainage channel, the other end of the device drainage channel and one end of the device drainage channel are nested with each other and are interference-fitted. At this time, in the process of inserting one end of the device drainage channel into the other end of the base drainage channel 240, a force is applied to the cutout on the sealing assembly, and at this time, the state of the sealing assembly is to connect the other end of the base drainage channel 240 to one end of the device drainage channel. In the case that the other end of the device drainage channel is not connected to one end of the device drainage channel, the state of the sealing assembly is to seal the other end of the base drainage channel 240.

[0190] Optionally, the implementation of the base drainage channel 240 includes the following two kinds: the first kind is not through the base sewage tank 250; the second kind is through the base sewage tank 250. The two kinds of implementation of the base drainage channel 240 of the base 20 are introduced respectively as follows.

[0191] The first kind: referring to Figure 4 , the base drainage channel 240 is not through the base sewage tank 250. In other words, the base drainage channel 240 is an uninterrupted water conveying channel. At this time, the base 20 can not be provided with the base sewage tank 250, and the sewage of the device drainage channel can be discharged.

[0192] Optionally, a water pump is arranged in the base drainage channel 240 to externally collect sewage discharged in the equipment drainage channel. When the water pump is working, it can unidirectionally open the base drainage channel 240, and when the water pump is not working, it can close the base drainage channel 240. Therefore, a sealing assembly can not be arranged at the other end of the base drainage channel 240.

[0193] Optionally, the base 20 further comprises a drainage switch assembly arranged in the base drainage channel 240. The drainage switch assembly can open or close the base drainage channel 240. In this case, a sealing assembly can not be arranged at the other end of the base drainage channel 240.

[0194] The drainage switch assembly includes, but is not limited to, a solenoid valve, a switch valve, etc. The present embodiment does not limit the implementation of the drainage switch assembly.

[0195] Illustratively, the drainage switch assembly opens the base drainage channel 240 based on the detection result of the first sewage detection mechanism to connect an external water source to the equipment drainage channel to drain the sewage tank, or closes the base drainage channel 240 based on the detection result of the first sewage detection mechanism.

[0196] For example, when the detection result of the first sewage detection mechanism is the fifth result, the drainage switch assembly is opened to open the base drainage channel 240. The fifth result indicates that the water volume of the equipment sewage tank is greater than or equal to the third water volume threshold. When the detection result of the first sewage detection mechanism is the sixth result, the drainage switch assembly is closed to close the base drainage channel 240. The sixth result indicates that the water volume of the equipment sewage tank is less than the third water volume threshold.

[0197] The third water volume threshold can be the maximum water volume that the equipment sewage tank can hold, or a value less than the maximum water volume, or a value set by a user. The present embodiment does not limit the setting method of the third water volume threshold.

[0198] The switch of the drainage switch assembly can be manually controlled, or can be controlled by the controller. The related description of the switch of the drainage switch assembly controlled by the controller is described in the description of the water adding switch assembly, which will not be repeated here. It should be noted that when the drainage switch assembly is controlled by the equipment controller, the second control operation performed by the equipment controller includes the operation of controlling the drainage switch assembly to open or close.

[0199] When the drainage switch assembly is controlled by the controller (the base 20 controller or the equipment controller), the controller controls the drainage switch assembly to open when the detection result of the first sewage detection mechanism is the fifth result to open the base drainage channel 240. The controller controls the drainage switch assembly to close when the detection result of the first sewage detection mechanism is the sixth result to close the base drainage channel 240.

[0200] The second kind is reference Figure 5 The base drainage channel 240 passes through the base sewage tank 250. In this case, the base 20 further comprises the base sewage tank 250. In other words, the base drainage channel 240 is divided into two sections by the base sewage tank 250, i.e., the base drainage channel 240 comprises a first drainage channel 241 and a second drainage channel 242.

[0201] One end of the first drainage channel 241 is connected to the base sewage tank 250. In the case where the base 20 is docked with the cleaning device, the other end of the first drainage channel 241 is docked with one end of the device drainage channel in the cleaning device.

[0202] One end of the second drainage channel 242 is connected to the base sewage tank 250. The other end of the second drainage channel 242 is adapted to be connected to an external water collection mechanism.

[0203] The base sewage tank 250 is used to store the liquid required to be discharged by the device sewage tank. In the case where the amount of water in the base sewage tank 250 is small, the sewage in the device sewage tank can be collected through the base sewage tank 250. In this case, only the first drainage channel 241 is turned on.

[0204] Optionally, the first drainage channel 241 is provided with a third switch assembly. The third switch assembly turns on or turns off the first drainage channel 241. In this case, the sealing assembly can not be provided at the other end of the first drainage channel 241.

[0205] The third switch assembly includes but is not limited to a solenoid valve, or a switch valve, etc. The present embodiment does not limit the implementation of the third switch assembly.

[0206] Illustratively, the third switch assembly turns on the first drainage channel 241 based on the detection result of the first sewage detection mechanism, so as to discharge the sewage in the device sewage tank to the base sewage tank 250 through the device drainage channel; or, the third switch assembly turns off the first drainage channel 241 based on the detection result of the first sewage detection mechanism.

[0207] For example: in the case where the detection result of the first sewage detection mechanism is the fifth result, the third switch assembly is turned on to turn on the first drainage channel 241; the first result indicates that the amount of water in the device sewage tank is greater than or equal to the third water amount threshold. In the case where the detection result of the first sewage detection mechanism is the sixth result, the third switch assembly is turned off to turn off the first drainage channel 241; the second result indicates that the amount of water in the device sewage tank is less than the third water amount threshold.

[0208] The switch of the third switch assembly can be manually controlled; or, it can also be controlled by the controller.

[0209] For details regarding the third switch assembly under controller control, please refer to the description of the water supply switch assembly; this embodiment will not repeat them here.

[0210] When the third switch assembly is controlled by the controller (either the base 20 controller or the equipment controller), if the first wastewater detection mechanism detects a fifth result, the controller controls the third switch assembly to open, so that wastewater in the equipment drainage channel is discharged through the first drainage channel 241 to the base wastewater tank 250. If the first wastewater detection mechanism detects a sixth result, the controller controls the third switch assembly to close, so as to close the first drainage channel 241.

[0211] In the event of excessive water volume in the base sewage tank 250, the sewage in the base sewage tank 250 can be discharged to an external water collection mechanism by opening the second drainage channel 242. Accordingly, a fourth switch assembly is provided in the second drainage channel 242, which enables or disables the second drainage channel 242.

[0212] The fourth switching component includes, but is not limited to, a solenoid valve or a switching valve, etc. This embodiment does not limit the implementation of the fourth switching component.

[0213] The fourth switch assembly can be manually controlled, i.e., manually controlling the second drainage channel 242 to open or close to drain water from the base sewage tank 250; alternatively, the fourth switch assembly can also be controlled by a controller. For details regarding the fourth switch assembly being controlled by a controller, please refer to the description of the drainage switch assembly; this embodiment will not repeat those details here.

[0214] Optionally, the base 20 also includes a second wastewater detection mechanism 260 to detect the amount of water in the base wastewater tank 250. In this case, the fourth switch assembly opens or closes the second drainage channel 242 based on the detection result of the second wastewater detection mechanism 260.

[0215] The second wastewater detection mechanism 260 may be the same as or different from the first wastewater detection mechanism. Optionally, the second wastewater detection mechanism 260 may include, but is not limited to, a water level sensor, an image sensor, or a pressure sensor. This embodiment does not limit the implementation method of the second wastewater detection mechanism 260.

[0216] Schematic, the fourth switch assembly opens the second drainage channel 242 based on the detection result of the second wastewater detection mechanism 260 to connect an external water source to the equipment drainage channel for draining the equipment wastewater tank; or, based on the detection result of the second wastewater detection mechanism 260, closes the second drainage channel 242.

[0217] For example, in a case where the detection result of the second sewage detection mechanism 260 is the seventh result, the fourth switch assembly turns on the second drainage channel 242; the seventh result indicates that the water amount of the base sewage tank 250 is less than the fourth water amount threshold.

[0218] In a case where the detection result of the second sewage detection mechanism 260 is the eighth result, the fourth switch assembly turns off the second drainage channel 242; the eighth result indicates that the water amount of the base sewage tank 250 is less than the fourth water amount threshold.

[0219] The fourth water amount threshold is greater than 0 and less than or equal to the maximum water amount that can be accommodated by the base sewage tank 250, and can be set by the user or a pre-set fixed value. The present embodiment does not limit the value of the fourth water amount threshold.

[0220] The fourth switch assembly is controlled by the controller (the base 20 controller or the device controller). In a case where the detection result of the second sewage detection mechanism 260 is the seventh result, the controller controls the fourth switch assembly to turn on to turn on the second drainage channel 242.

[0221] In a case where the detection result of the second sewage detection mechanism 260 is the eighth result, the controller controls the fourth switch assembly to turn off to turn off the second drainage channel 242.

[0222] Optionally, the first drainage channel 241 and the second drainage channel 242 can be turned on or turned off at the same time, or one of them is turned on and the other is turned off. The switching time of the first drainage channel 241 and the second drainage channel 242 can be set based on the use demand. The present embodiment does not limit the switching time of the first drainage channel 241 and the second drainage channel 242.

[0223] In summary, the base provided by the present embodiment can solve the problem of low drainage efficiency of the device sewage tank on the cleaning device by providing a base drainage channel. One end of the base drainage channel is adapted to access the external water collection mechanism. In a case where the base is connected with the cleaning device, the other end of the base drainage channel is connected with one end of the device drainage channel in the cleaning device. The other end of the device drainage channel is connected with the device sewage tank in the cleaning device. The drainage efficiency of the device sewage tank on the cleaning device can be improved. Since in a case where the base is connected with the cleaning device, the base drainage channel can discharge the sewage in the device drainage channel of the cleaning device through the other end to the external water collection mechanism, thereby draining the device sewage tank, without the need for the user to connect the external water source with the device drainage channel, the drainage efficiency of the device sewage tank can be improved.

[0224] In addition, by automatically turning on or off the base drainage channel based on the water volume of the equipment sewage tank, automatic drainage of the equipment sewage tank based on the water volume of the equipment sewage tank can be realized, the drainage efficiency of the equipment sewage tank is further improved, and the intelligent degree of the equipment sewage tank drainage is improved.

[0225] In addition, by arranging the base sewage tank on the base, the sewage in the equipment sewage tank can be collected through the base sewage tank in the case that no external collection mechanism is connected or the drainage speed of the second drainage channel is low, and the timeliness of the equipment sewage tank drainage can be ensured.

[0226] In addition, by automatically turning on or off the second drainage channel based on the water volume of the base sewage tank, automatic drainage of the base sewage tank based on the water volume of the base sewage tank can be realized, the drainage efficiency of the base sewage tank is improved, and the intelligent degree of the base sewage tank drainage is improved.

[0227] Optionally, based on the above-mentioned embodiments, the application further provides a cleaning system, which is specifically described with reference to Figure 3 The cleaning system comprises a base and a cleaning equipment, and the base and the cleaning equipment can be mutually docked.

[0228] The base comprises the base provided in the above-mentioned embodiments, and the cleaning equipment comprises the cleaning equipment provided in the above-mentioned embodiments.

[0229] Optionally, based on the above-mentioned embodiments, the application further provides a self-cleaning method of a cleaning equipment, the execution subject of each method embodiment is taken as an equipment controller in the cleaning equipment, or a base controller in the base, and in actual implementation, the execution subject can also be a control equipment in communication connection with the cleaning equipment or the base, the execution of the method is not limited in the embodiment, and hereinafter, the execution subject is taken as an electronic equipment for example, and the electronic equipment comprises the cleaning equipment, the base and / or the control equipment.

[0230] The self-cleaning in the application refers to that the cleaning equipment cleans a certain component on the cleaning equipment. For example, the scrubber cleans the self-rolling brush, or the scrubber cleans the self-equipment sewage tank, and the embodiment does not limit the component cleaned in the self-cleaning.

[0231] The self-cleaning method of the cleaning equipment is introduced below. Figure 6 It is a flow chart of the self-cleaning method of the cleaning equipment provided in the embodiment, and the method comprises at least the following steps:

[0232] In step 601, in response to a self-cleaning instruction of the cleaning equipment, it is determined whether the water volume of the equipment tank meets the self-cleaning requirement.

[0233] Optionally, the self-cleaning instruction is sent by another device or automatically generated by the electronic device, and the embodiment does not limit the source of the self-cleaning instruction. Next, the acquisition manner of the self-cleaning instruction is exemplified, and the manner in which the electronic device acquires the self-cleaning instruction includes but is not limited to at least one of the following manners:

[0234] Firstly, the electronic device determines whether the base and the cleaning device are docked; in the case where the base and the cleaning device are docked, the self-cleaning instruction is generated to trigger the step of determining whether the water quantity of the water tank of the cleaning device meets the self-cleaning requirement.

[0235] In the case where the base and the cleaning device are not docked, the process of determining whether the base and the cleaning device are docked is performed again.

[0236] Illustratively, the base and / or the cleaning device is / are provided with a docking detection mechanism, the detection result of the docking detection mechanism is that the base and the cleaning device are docked in the case where the base and the cleaning device are docked, and the detection result of the docking detection mechanism is that the base and the cleaning device are not docked or no detection result is output in the case where the base and the cleaning device are not docked. The electronic device is connected to the docking detection mechanism to determine whether the base and the cleaning device are docked based on the detection result output by the docking detection mechanism.

[0237] The docking detection mechanism includes a Hall sensor and a magnetic piece, the Hall sensor is arranged on one of the base and the cleaning device, and the magnetic piece is arranged on the other one; in the case where the base and the cleaning device are docked, the Hall sensor and the magnetic piece are opposite to each other to make the Hall sensor output a high-level signal; in the case where the base and the cleaning device are not docked, the distance between the Hall sensor and the magnetic piece is greater than the sensing range of the Hall sensor to make the Hall sensor output a low-level signal.

[0238] Alternatively,

[0239] The docking detection mechanism includes a pressure sensor, and the pressure sensor is arranged at a preset position of the base. In the case where the base and the cleaning device are docked, the preset position is subjected to the pressure of the cleaning device to make the pressure sensor output a pressure signal greater than a preset pressure threshold; in the case where the base and the cleaning device are not docked, the preset position is not subjected to the pressure of the cleaning device to make the pressure sensor output a pressure signal less than the preset pressure threshold.

[0240] In other embodiments, the implementation manner of the docking detection mechanism can also be other manners, and the embodiment does not repeat the details here.

[0241] Secondly, the cleaning device is provided with a self-cleaning control, and the self-cleaning instruction is generated in the case where a trigger operation acting on the self-cleaning control is received.

[0242] Optionally, the self-cleaning control can be a physical button, or can also be a virtual button displayed by touching the display screen. The present embodiment does not limit the implementation manner of the self-cleaning control.

[0243] In other implementation manners, the self-cleaning instruction can also be generated in other manners, which will not be enumerated here.

[0244] Optionally, the cleaning device only performs the self-cleaning action when it is docked with the base, or the cleaning device can also perform the self-cleaning action when it is not docked with the base.

[0245] For the case that the cleaning device performs the self-cleaning action only when it is docked with the base, if the self-cleaning instruction is not generated by docking the base with the cleaning device, the electronic device, in response to the self-cleaning instruction, acquires the docking state of the base and the cleaning device when the base is not docked with the cleaning device, and triggers the step of determining whether the water amount of the water tank of the device meets the self-cleaning requirement when the docking state is updated to that the base is docked with the cleaning device.

[0246] In response to the self-cleaning instruction, the step of determining whether the water amount of the water tank of the device meets the self-cleaning requirement is triggered when the base is docked with the cleaning device.

[0247] The electronic device acquires the docking state through the detection result of the docking detection mechanism. The implementation manner of the docking detection mechanism is referred to the first generation manner of the self-cleaning instruction, which will not be repeated here.

[0248] At this time, the timing of detecting the docking state of the base and the cleaning device by the electronic device can be before acquiring the self-cleaning instruction, or after acquiring the self-cleaning instruction, or synchronously with the timing of acquiring the self-cleaning instruction. The present embodiment does not limit the timing of detecting the docking state by the electronic device.

[0249] Since the self-cleaning instruction can be generated by the user by mistake, based on this, optionally, when the docking state is updated to that the base is docked with the cleaning device, the electronic device further determines whether the self-cleaning instruction is valid, and triggers the step of determining whether the water amount of the water tank of the device meets the self-cleaning requirement when the self-cleaning instruction is valid.

[0250] In this way, only when the self-cleaning instruction is valid, it is indicated that the self-cleaning instruction is not generated by mistake, which can ensure the accuracy of the execution of the self-cleaning action.

[0251] Optionally, in order to confirm by the user whether the self-cleaning instruction is generated by mistake, in response to the self-cleaning instruction, the electronic device can also output a docking prompt to prompt the user to dock the base with the cleaning device when the base is not docked with the cleaning device.

[0252] The prompt duration of the docking prompt is a preset duration, and the docking is stopped if the base docks with the cleaning device within the preset duration. Optionally, the docking prompt can be an audio prompt, a light prompt, or the like, and the embodiment does not limit the prompting manner of the docking prompt.

[0253] Illustratively, determining whether the self-cleaning instruction is valid includes: determining whether a time interval between a docking time when the docking state is updated to the base docking with the cleaning device and a generation time of the self-cleaning instruction is greater than a preset duration threshold; if the time interval between the docking time and the generation time is greater than the preset duration threshold, determining that the self-cleaning instruction is invalid; and if the time interval is less than or equal to the preset duration threshold, determining that the self-cleaning instruction is not invalid. The preset duration threshold is less than or equal to the preset duration.

[0254] Determining whether the water amount of the device water tank meets the self-cleaning requirement includes but is not limited to the following manners:

[0255] The first manner: obtaining a self-cleaning mode indicated by the self-cleaning instruction; and determining whether the water amount of the device water tank meets a self-cleaning requirement corresponding to the self-cleaning mode.

[0256] At this time, the self-cleaning instruction further includes a self-cleaning mode of the cleaning device.

[0257] Optionally, different self-cleaning modes correspond to different self-cleaning requirements. Illustratively, the self-cleaning requirement includes a minimum water amount required in the device clean water tank and / or a minimum residual water amount of the device dirty water tank when the self-cleaning action is performed according to the self-cleaning mode. In actual implementation, the self-cleaning requirement can also be that the water amount of the device clean water tank is greater than the minimum water amount and the water amount of the device dirty water tank is less than the minimum residual water amount, and the embodiment does not limit the setting manner of the self-cleaning requirement.

[0258] If the device water tank includes the device clean water tank and the device dirty water tank, in a case where the actual water amount in the device clean water tank is greater than or equal to the water amount of the device clean water tank indicated by the self-cleaning requirement and the actual water amount in the device dirty water tank is less than or equal to the water amount of the device dirty water tank indicated by the self-cleaning requirement, it is determined that the water amount of the device water tank meets the self-cleaning requirement; and in a case where the actual water amount in the device clean water tank is less than the water amount of the device clean water tank indicated by the self-cleaning requirement and / or the actual water amount in the device dirty water tank is greater than the water amount of the device dirty water tank indicated by the self-cleaning requirement, it is determined that the water amount of the device water tank does not meet the self-cleaning requirement.

[0259] If the device water tank includes the device clean water tank but does not include the device dirty water tank, in a case where the actual water amount in the device clean water tank is greater than or equal to the water amount of the device clean water tank indicated by the self-cleaning requirement, it is determined that the water amount of the device water tank meets the self-cleaning requirement; and in a case where the actual water amount in the device clean water tank is less than the water amount of the device clean water tank indicated by the self-cleaning requirement, it is determined that the water amount of the device water tank does not meet the self-cleaning requirement.

[0260] If the device water tank does not include the device clean water tank and only includes the device dirty water tank, it is determined that the water quantity of the device water tank meets the self-cleaning requirement in a case where the actual water quantity in the device dirty water tank is less than or equal to the water quantity of the device dirty water tank indicated by the self-cleaning requirement, and it is determined that the water quantity of the device water tank does not meet the self-cleaning requirement in a case where the actual water quantity in the device dirty water tank is greater than the water quantity of the device dirty water tank indicated by the self-cleaning requirement.

[0261] Secondly, it is determined whether the water quantity of the device clean water tank in the device water tank is greater than or equal to the minimum clean water quantity, and / or whether the water quantity of the device dirty water tank in the device water tank is less than or equal to the maximum dirty water quantity.

[0262] The minimum clean water quantity is determined based on the minimum water consumption of different self-cleaning modes, and the maximum dirty water quantity is determined based on the maximum dirty water quantity generated by different self-cleaning modes.

[0263] At this time, the minimum water consumption and the maximum dirty water quantity corresponding to each self-cleaning mode are pre-stored in the electronic device.

[0264] In a case where the water quantity of the device water tank meets the self-cleaning requirement, the cleaning device is controlled to perform a self-cleaning action.

[0265] Optionally, in a case where the water quantity of the device water tank does not meet the self-cleaning requirement and the base is docked with the cleaning device, the base is controlled to adjust the water quantity of the device water tank to meet the self-cleaning requirement.

[0266] In a case where the device water tank includes the device clean water tank, the base is controlled to adjust the water quantity of the device water tank, including: the water adding switch assembly is controlled to be opened, or the first switch assembly is controlled to be opened, so as to add water to the device clean water tank through the base water adding channel; and in a case where the water quantity of the device clean water tank meets the self-cleaning requirement, the water adding switch assembly is controlled to be closed, or the first switch assembly is controlled to be closed.

[0267] In a case where the device water tank includes the device dirty water tank, the base is controlled to adjust the water quantity of the device water tank, including: the water discharging switch assembly is controlled to be opened, or the third switch assembly is controlled to be opened, so as to discharge water from the device dirty water tank through the base water discharging channel; and in a case where the water quantity of the device dirty water tank meets the self-cleaning requirement, the water discharging switch assembly is controlled to be closed, or the third switch assembly is controlled to be closed.

[0268] For the first way of determining whether the water quantity of the device water tank meets the self-cleaning requirement, correspondingly, in a case where the water quantity of the device water tank meets the self-cleaning requirement, the cleaning device is controlled to perform a self-cleaning action, including: in a case where the water quantity of the device water tank meets the self-cleaning requirement, the cleaning device is controlled to perform a self-cleaning action according to the self-cleaning mode.

[0269] For the second way of determining whether the water amount of the equipment water tank meets the self-cleaning requirement, correspondingly, in the case that the water amount of the equipment water tank meets the self-cleaning requirement, the control of the cleaning equipment to perform the self-cleaning action includes: in the case that the water amount of the equipment clean water tank is greater than or equal to the minimum clean water amount and / or the water amount of the equipment dirty water tank is less than or equal to the maximum dirty water amount, determining a self-cleaning mode based on the water amount of the equipment water tank; and controlling the cleaning equipment to perform the self-cleaning action according to the determined self-cleaning mode.

[0270] Taking the cleaning equipment as a floor cleaning machine, the self-cleaning action includes but is not limited to: washing the cleaning part (including spraying water to the cleaning part, absorbing dirty water, and controlling the cleaning part to run), and / or drying the cleaning part, and the embodiment does not limit the content of the self-cleaning action.

[0271] In step 603, in the case that the self-cleaning action is performed and the base is docked with the cleaning equipment, the base is controlled to adjust the water amount of the equipment water tank to a preset equipment water amount.

[0272] In the case that the equipment water tank includes an equipment clean water tank, the preset equipment water amount is determined based on the maximum water capacity of the equipment clean water tank. Illustratively, the preset equipment water amount is the maximum water capacity of the equipment clean water tank, and in actual implementation, the preset equipment water amount can also be less than the maximum water capacity, and the embodiment does not limit the value of the preset equipment water amount of the equipment clean water tank.

[0273] In the case that the equipment water tank includes an equipment dirty water tank, the preset equipment water amount is greater than or equal to 0, and the embodiment does not limit the value of the preset equipment water amount of the equipment dirty water tank.

[0274] The way in which the electronic device controls the base to adjust the water amount of the equipment water tank to the preset equipment water amount is referred to the description of the control of the base to adjust the water amount of the equipment water tank in step 602, and the difference is that the self-cleaning requirement is replaced by the preset equipment water amount, and the embodiment will not be repeated here.

[0275] Optionally, the base is provided with a base water tank. After the electronic device controls the base to adjust the water amount of the equipment water tank to the preset equipment water amount, the electronic device further controls the base to adjust the water amount in the base water tank to a preset base water amount.

[0276] In the case that the base water tank includes a base clean water tank, the preset base water amount is determined based on the maximum water capacity of the base clean water tank. Illustratively, the preset base water amount is the maximum water capacity of the base clean water tank, and in actual implementation, the preset base water amount can also be less than the maximum water capacity, and the embodiment does not limit the value of the preset base water amount of the base clean water tank.

[0277] Correspondingly, the base is controlled to adjust the water amount in the base water tank to the preset base water amount, including: controlling the second switch assembly to open, so as to add water to the base clean water tank through the second water adding channel; and in the case that the water amount in the base clean water tank reaches the preset base water amount, controlling the second switch assembly to close.

[0278] In the case that the base water tank includes a base dirty water tank, the preset base water amount is greater than or equal to 0, and the embodiment does not limit the preset base water amount of the base dirty water tank.

[0279] Correspondingly, the base is controlled to adjust the water amount in the base water tank to the preset base water amount, including: controlling the fourth switch assembly to open, so as to drain water from the base dirty water tank through the second water draining channel; and in the case that the water amount in the base dirty water tank reaches the preset base water amount, controlling the fourth switch assembly to close.

[0280] Optionally, in the above embodiment, the base is provided with a base water tank, and before the base is controlled to adjust the water amount of the equipment water tank, the method further includes: determining whether the water amount in the base water tank meets the water amount adjustment requirement; and in the case that the water amount in the base water tank does not meet the water amount adjustment requirement, controlling the base to adjust the water amount in the base water tank to meet the water amount adjustment requirement, so as to use the base water tank to adjust the water amount of the equipment water tank.

[0281] Specifically, in the case that the equipment water tank includes an equipment clean water tank and the base water tank includes a base clean water tank, the water amount adjustment requirement is that the water amount of the base clean water tank is greater than the water amount of the equipment clean water tank; or the water amount of the base clean water tank meets the self-cleaning requirement, or the water amount of the base clean water tank reaches the preset equipment water amount.

[0282] In the case that the equipment water tank includes an equipment dirty water tank and the base water tank includes a base dirty water tank, the water amount adjustment requirement is that the water amount of the base dirty water tank is less than the water amount of the equipment dirty water tank; or the water amount of the base dirty water tank meets the self-cleaning requirement, or the water amount of the base dirty water tank reaches the preset equipment water amount.

[0283] In summary, the self-cleaning method of the cleaning equipment provided in the embodiment can solve the problem of low efficiency of manual water adding and draining during the self-cleaning process by determining whether the water amount of the equipment water tank meets the self-cleaning requirement in response to the self-cleaning instruction of the cleaning equipment, controlling the cleaning equipment to perform the self-cleaning action in the case that the water amount of the equipment water tank meets the self-cleaning requirement, and controlling the base to adjust the water amount of the equipment water tank to the preset equipment water amount in the case that the self-cleaning action is performed and the base is docked with the cleaning equipment. The self-cleaning efficiency can be improved by automatically adjusting the equipment water amount by the base. Meanwhile, the subsequent cleaning work of the cleaning equipment can be ensured to be performed in time by automatically adjusting the water amount of the equipment water tank to the preset equipment water amount after the self-cleaning action is completed, without the need to add water and drain water before performing the cleaning work, so that the efficiency of the cleaning equipment in performing the cleaning work can be improved.

[0284] In addition, by automatically adjusting the water amount of the device water tank to meet the self-cleaning requirement in the case that the water amount of the device water tank does not meet the self-cleaning requirement, the intelligent degree of water filling and draining can be improved.

[0285] In addition, by determining whether the water amount in the base water tank meets the water amount adjustment requirement before adjusting the water amount of the device water tank, the effectiveness of the device water tank adjustment process can be ensured.

[0286] In addition, by automatically generating a self-cleaning instruction to perform a self-cleaning action in the case that the base is docked with the cleaning device, the user does not need to manually trigger the generation of the self-cleaning instruction, and the execution efficiency of the self-cleaning action can be improved.

[0287] In addition, after obtaining the self-cleaning instruction, the docking state of the base and the cleaning device is updated to the case that the base is docked with the cleaning device, and it is determined whether the self-cleaning instruction is valid; only in the case that the self-cleaning instruction is valid, it is determined whether the water amount of the device water tank meets the self-cleaning requirement; the user does not need to repeatedly trigger the generation of the self-cleaning instruction, the execution efficiency of the self-cleaning is improved; and the self-cleaning instruction triggered by mistake is avoided from triggering the cleaning device to perform the self-cleaning action, and the accuracy of the execution of the self-cleaning action is ensured.

[0288] In addition, by adjusting the water amount in the base water tank to the preset base water amount after adjusting the water amount of the device water tank to the preset device water amount, the base water tank can be ensured to be used for the next self-cleaning, and the execution efficiency of the next self-cleaning process can be improved.

[0289] In addition, by setting the self-cleaning requirement based on the self-cleaning mode, it can be ensured that the water amount of the device water tank can meet the current self-cleaning mode, and the self-cleaning process can be ensured to be normally executed.

[0290] In addition, by determining the self-cleaning mode based on the water amount of the device water tank, the self-cleaning action is performed according to the self-cleaning mode adapted to the water amount, and it can be ensured that the self-cleaning process can be normally executed.

[0291] Figure 7 is a block diagram of a self-cleaning device of a cleaning device provided by an embodiment of the present application. The cleaning device is provided with a device water tank; the cleaning device is adapted to be docked with a base, and the base has a function of adjusting the water amount in the device water tank in the case that the cleaning device is docked with the base. The device at least includes the following modules: a water amount determination module 710, a self-cleaning module 720, and a water amount adjustment module 730.

[0292] The water amount determination module 710 is configured to determine whether the water amount of the device water tank meets a self-cleaning requirement in response to a self-cleaning instruction of the cleaning device;
