DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0074] Aiming at the problem in the prior art that the floor washer can only send the cold water in the water tank to the floor brush through the pipeline, and the cleaning ability for stubborn stains is poor, the embodiments of the present application provide a cleaning device and its control method.

[0075] Please refer toFigure 1 As shown, the cleaning device provided by the present invention includes: a body 1, a cleaning mechanism 2, and a water outlet pipeline 3. Among them,

[0076] A water tank is provided inside the body 1. The water outlet pipeline 3 includes a water inlet end and a water outlet end. Among them, the water inlet end is communicated with the water tank, and the water outlet end is connected to the cleaning mechanism 2.

[0077] The water outlet pipeline 3 is used to transfer the clean water in the water tank to the cleaning mechanism 2, and the cleaning mechanism 2 is used to clean the surface to be cleaned.

[0078] The cleaning device of this embodiment can be, for example, a floor washer. The cleaning mechanism 2 includes a floor brush 21. The cleaning mechanism 2 is also provided with a water pump 9 and a floor brush motor 8. The water pump 9 outputs the clean water in the water outlet pipeline 3 to the floor brush 21, and the floor brush 21 is used to clean the ground.

[0079] For the case where the ground has stubborn stains, the above cleaning device is difficult to clean. In view of this technical problem, further, the cleaning device provided by the embodiment of the present application further includes: a heating element.

[0080] A heating element refers to an element that generates heat during operation.

[0081] In this embodiment, the heating element provides heat energy for the water outlet pipeline 3 to adjust the water temperature of the water flowing to the cleaning mechanism 2 in the water outlet pipeline 3.

[0082] Thus, clean water at a certain temperature reaches the cleaning mechanism 2, providing a better cleaning effect on stubborn stains.

[0083] In one embodiment, optionally, as Figure 1 shown, the heating element can be a heating element 4.

[0084] Specifically, the heating element 4 refers to an element with a heating function. The heating element 4 can be arranged in the water outlet pipeline 3 to heat the water in the water outlet pipeline 3, or can also heat the water in the water outlet pipeline 3 by contacting the surface of the water outlet pipeline.

[0085] The pipe section of the heating element 4 provided in this embodiment is a metal pipe section 30.

[0086] Optionally, the heating element of this embodiment can be, for example, a resistance wire. In this embodiment, the resistance wire can be wound around the surface of the metal pipe section 30 of the water outlet pipeline. The resistance wire is energized to generate heat, achieving the purpose of heating the water at the water outlet end in the water outlet pipeline.

[0087] Optionally, the heating element of this embodiment can also be, for example, an electric heating tube, and the electric heating tube can be arranged in the metal pipe section of the water outlet pipeline and energized for heating.

[0088] There are many heating elements, which can be selected according to needs in actual work, and this embodiment does not limit them here.

[0089] Optionally, the distance from the heating element to the water outlet end of the water outlet pipe is less than a preset distance.

[0090] Specifically, the heating element 4 in the embodiment of the present application is arranged at a position close to the water outlet end of the water outlet pipe, so as to realize heating only the water close to the water outlet end, reduce the working intensity of the heating element 4, save energy, and at the same time help to improve the service life of the heating element 4.

[0091] In the above implementation, the water temperature in the water outlet pipe cannot be automatically adjusted according to the real-time water outlet temperature.

[0092] To solve this technical problem, optionally, a control component is provided in the embodiment of the present application.

[0093] Specifically, the control component in this embodiment may include a CPU, and the control component is used for:

[0094] S1: Determine the current water temperature adjustment requirement.

[0095] Specifically, the water temperature adjustment requirement in this embodiment refers to how to adjust the working state of the heating element according to the desired water temperature.

[0096] In one embodiment, the cleaning device is provided with a temperature sensor to collect the real-time water temperature of the heated water in the water outlet pipe through the temperature sensor.

[0097] The control component is connected to the temperature sensor, obtains the real-time water temperature data in the water outlet pipe collected by the temperature sensor, compares the real-time water temperature data with the desired water temperature, and determines the water temperature adjustment requirement based on the gap between the real-time water temperature data and the desired water temperature.

[0098] The desired water temperature can be preset and stored in the control component. After the control component obtains the real-time water temperature, it calls the desired water temperature for comparison to determine the water temperature adjustment requirement.

[0099] In the above embodiment, the cleaning device can only adjust the water temperature to the desired water temperature according to the set temperature, and cannot determine different desired water temperatures in real time according to the different degrees of dirt on the surface to be cleaned. For a floor washer, the surface to be cleaned is the ground.

[0100] To solve this technical problem, in one embodiment, the cleaning device includes a dirt detection sensor and a temperature sensor.

[0101] Among them, the dirt detection sensor is used to collect dirt data of the surface to be cleaned, and the dirt data indicates the dirt degree of the surface to be cleaned. The dirt sensor can be arranged on the inner wall of the dirt suction port of the cleaning mechanism 2, and the dirt degree of the surface to be cleaned is detected by detecting the degree of stains sucked by the cleaning device.

[0102] The temperature sensor is used to collect the real-time water temperature after heating in the water outlet pipeline, and the temperature sensor can be arranged at a position close to the water outlet end of the water outlet pipeline.

[0103] The control component is connected to the dirt detection sensor and the temperature sensor. The control component obtains the real-time water temperature data collected by the temperature sensor, determines the first target temperature corresponding to the dirt data, and then determines the water temperature adjustment requirement based on the gap between the real-time water temperature data and the first target temperature.

[0104] Among them, optionally, the first target temperatures corresponding to different dirt data are stored in the control component in the form of a table. The higher the dirt degree of the surface to be cleaned, the higher the corresponding first target temperature.

[0105] After the control component obtains the dirt data, it can determine the first target temperature corresponding to the dirt data by querying the table. Thus, the water temperature adjustment requirement can be determined according to the dirt degree of the surface to be cleaned.

[0106] Since the materials of the surfaces to be cleaned are different. For example, for the ground, it can be wooden floors, tiles, plastics, carpets, etc. For different materials of the ground, the water temperature required for cleaning is also different. Therefore, in some application scenarios, it is also necessary to select the water outlet temperature of the cleaning device according to different ground materials.

[0107] To solve this technical problem, in one embodiment, the cleaning device includes a material identification sensor and a temperature sensor.

[0108] The material identification sensor is used to collect material data of the surface to be cleaned. The material identification sensor can be arranged on the inner wall of the cleaning mechanism 2 of the cleaning device, and the detection and identification port is close to the surface to be cleaned.

[0109] The temperature sensor is used to collect the real-time water temperature after heating in the water outlet pipeline, and the temperature sensor can be arranged at a position close to the water outlet end of the water outlet pipeline.

[0110] When determining the water temperature adjustment requirement, the control component first obtains the real-time water temperature data collected by the temperature sensor and the material data collected by the material identification sensor, determines the second target temperature corresponding to the material data, and then determines the water temperature adjustment requirement based on the gap between the real-time water temperature data and the second target temperature.

[0111] Among them, the material recognition sensor can adopt the existing material recognition module, which will not be elaborated here.

[0112] S2: According to the water temperature adjustment requirement, control the opening or closing of the heating element to adjust the water temperature of the water flowing to the cleaning mechanism in the water outlet pipeline.

[0113] Specifically, when the real-time water temperature data of the temperature sensor exceeds the desired water temperature / the first target temperature / the second target temperature, control the heating element to close. When the real-time water temperature data of the temperature sensor is lower than the desired water temperature / the first target temperature / the second target temperature, control the heating element to open.

[0114] When the driving component and the power supply component of the cleaning device generate heat, it will cause stress changes and minute changes in the gaps of various parts of the structure with different expansion coefficients in the machine body, affecting the service life of the machine. When the heat generation is severe, it will also cause insulation failure, resulting in winding damage and thus triggering a short circuit.

[0115] To address this technical problem, in another embodiment, optionally, as Figure 2 shown, the heating element can be a functional element.

[0116] Specifically, the functional element in this embodiment refers to an element with other functions in addition to the heating function.

[0117] For example, the functional element in this embodiment can be the driving component and the power supply component of the cleaning device. As Figure 2 shown, the driving component includes a motor 6 and a floor brush motor 8, and the power supply component includes a battery pack 7.

[0118] In the embodiment of the present application, the surface of the water outlet pipeline 3 is brought into contact with the surfaces of the driving component and the power supply component to absorb the heat generated by the driving component and the power supply component due to their own heat generation during operation.

[0119] Thus, on the one hand, water cooling of the driving component and the power supply component can be achieved, improving the service life of the driving component and the power supply component. On the other hand, the clear water in the water outlet pipeline can also be heated so that the clear water with a certain temperature reaches the cleaning mechanism, which can provide a better cleaning effect.

[0120] In a further implementation manner, optionally, as Figure 2 shown, in the embodiment of the present application, a part of the water outlet pipeline is set as a metal pipeline 33, such as copper, aluminum, etc., and the metal pipeline 33 is wound around the surface of the corresponding functional element to increase the contact area between the water outlet pipeline and the functional element, thereby increasing the heat absorption capacity.

[0121] When the required water temperature cannot be achieved only by the heating element or the functional element, optionally, the embodiments of the present application can also be provided with a heating element and a functional element at the same time.

[0122] In this way, when the heating capacity of the functional element cannot reach the desired water temperature, the heating element can be turned on for auxiliary heating.

[0123] For the cleaning device of the present application, in a certain case, if the water in the water outlet pipeline does not need to be heated, or the required water temperature is very low, since the water outlet pipeline is wound around the surface of the functional element, and the functional element is the driving component and the power supply component of the cleaning device and cannot be directly turned off, the water in the water outlet pipeline can only passively absorb heat and cannot adjust the water temperature according to actual needs.

[0124] In view of the above situation, optionally, as Figure 3 shown, the water outlet pipeline of the embodiment of the present application sequentially includes a main pipeline 31 and at least two branch pipelines branched from the main pipeline 31 from the water inlet end to the water outlet end.

[0125] Specifically, the at least two branch pipelines of the embodiment of the present application include a first branch pipeline 311 for recovering the thermal energy emitted by the functional element, and a second branch pipeline 312 that does not have the function of recovering the thermal energy.

[0126] Among them, the first branch pipeline 311 is in contact with the surface of the functional element. For example, a metal pipe section 33 can be provided to be wound around the surface of the functional element to recover the thermal energy emitted by the heating element. The second branch pipeline 312 is not in contact with the surface of the functional element and does not have the function of recovering thermal energy.

[0127] In this embodiment, the main pipeline 31 is communicated with the first branch pipeline 311 or the second branch pipeline 312 through a valve body 5.

[0128] The valve body 5 therein can be a three-way valve. The inlet end of the three-way valve is communicated with the main pipeline 31, the first outlet end of the three-way valve is communicated with the first branch pipeline 311, and the second outlet end of the three-way valve is communicated with the second branch pipeline 312.

[0129] Further, a control component can be provided in this embodiment to be connected to the three-way valve. The control component is used to first determine the current water temperature adjustment requirement. For the specific implementation manner of determining the water temperature adjustment requirement, please refer to the above embodiments and will not be elaborated here.

[0130] The control component controls the on-off state of the three-way valve according to the determined current water temperature adjustment requirement, so that the main pipeline is communicated with the first branch pipeline or the second branch pipeline to adjust the water temperature of the water flowing through the water outlet pipeline to the cleaning mechanism.

[0131] Specifically, the control component controls the three-way valve to act, so that the inlet end of the three-way valve communicates with the first outlet end, thereby connecting the main pipeline 31 with the first branch pipeline 311, and absorbing the heat generated by the corresponding functional element through the first branch pipeline 311 to adjust the water temperature in the water outlet pipeline 3.

[0132] Alternatively, the control component controls the inlet end of the three-way valve to communicate with the second outlet end according to the determined current water temperature adjustment requirement, so that the main pipeline 31 is connected to the second branch pipeline 312, so that the water flowing from the water purification tank to the main pipeline 31 is directly transmitted downward without being heated.

[0133] Optionally, the water outlet pipeline 3 in this embodiment further includes a main pipeline 32 after the at least two branch pipelines converge.

[0134] Specifically, in this embodiment, one end of the first branch pipeline 311 communicates with the first outlet end of the three-way valve, one end of the second branch pipeline 312 communicates with the second outlet end of the three-way valve, and the other ends of the first branch pipeline 311 and the second branch pipeline 312 are connected to the converged main pipeline 32.

[0135] Optionally, the at least two branch pipelines in this embodiment are at least two groups, and different groups of branch pipelines correspond to different functional elements.

[0136] Specifically, the motor, the battery pack, the floor brush motor, etc. in this embodiment respectively correspond to a group of branch pipelines.

[0137] The main pipeline 32 after the at least two branch pipelines corresponding to the motor converge is connected to the at least two branch pipelines of the next group again, for example, the branch pipelines corresponding to the battery pack. And so on.

[0138] Each group of branch pipelines is correspondingly provided with a three-way valve. The main pipeline 32 after each group of branch pipelines converges is connected to the inlet end of the corresponding three-way valve.

[0139] In actual work, the state of the corresponding three-way valve can be controlled as needed to select the corresponding branch pipeline to absorb energy and heat the water flow in the water outlet pipeline 3.

[0140] In summary, the embodiment of the present application provides heat energy for the water outlet pipeline by setting a heating element, and adjusts the water temperature of the water flow flowing to the cleaning mechanism in the water outlet pipeline, thereby improving the cleaning ability of the cleaning device for stubborn stains.

[0141] The embodiment of the present application also provides a control method for a cleaning device. This control method is applied to the cleaning device in the above embodiment. Below, taking this method as an example applied to the control component of the cleaning device, the control method of the embodiment of the present application will be described.

[0145] The steps for determining the current water temperature adjustment requirement include:

[0146] Obtain the water temperature data collected by the temperature sensor;
