Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of cleaning technology, and in particular to a control method, device, equipment, system and storage medium for cleaning equipment. Background Art

[0002] Floor scrubbers can be used to automatically clean floors, bringing great convenience to people's lives. Currently, during the cleaning process, floor scrubbers use gas suction devices such as fans to extract the wastewater from the floor. This solid-liquid-gas mixture is then pumped into a waste recovery tank, which fails to completely separate the water vapor. This makes it impossible to prevent water vapor from entering the filter assembly. Furthermore, the wastewater in the waste recovery tank, when stirred up during cleaning, can easily be drawn into the filter assembly, making it impossible to prevent the filter assembly from getting wet. Both the water and water vapor in the waste recovery tank are relatively dirty. If the filter assembly is not cleaned and dried promptly after being wetted by wastewater, it will become moldy and smelly, reducing the cleaning ability and filtration efficiency of the floor scrubber. In severe cases, this can also affect the user experience and health. Summary of the Invention

[0028] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are part of the embodiments of this application, not all of them. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0029] The flowcharts shown in the accompanying drawings are for illustrative purposes only and do not necessarily include all contents and operations / steps, nor must they be executed in the order described. For example, some operations / steps may be decomposed, combined, or partially merged, so the actual execution order may vary depending on the actual situation.

[0030] The following describes some embodiments of the present application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features therein may be combined with each other.

[0031] Most current cleaning equipment, such as floor scrubbers and wet vacuums, uses a gas extraction device like a fan to extract the wastewater after cleaning. This solid-liquid-gas mixture is then pumped into a waste collection tank. To extend its service life, a filter assembly is installed within the waste collection tank. The filter assembly allows air to pass but blocks fine particles. For example, HEPA filters are highly effective at filtering particles sized 0.1-0.3 microns. This filter assembly effectively prevents moisture from rising from the waste collection tank and entering components like the main motor. In practice, while the filter assembly intercepts most moisture from the airflow, the enclosed environment of the waste collection tank often allows residual water to accumulate on the filter assembly over time, fostering bacterial growth and odor. Furthermore, the filter assembly cannot completely separate the water vapor, making it difficult to prevent moisture from entering the filter assembly. Furthermore, the splashing of wastewater in the waste collection tank during cleaning can easily draw water into the filter assembly, making it impossible to guarantee that the filter assembly will not become wet. The water and moisture in the waste recovery tank are both relatively contaminated. If the filter components are not cleaned and dried promptly after being wetted by sewage, they will become moldy and smelly, which will also reduce the cleaning ability and filtration efficiency of the cleaning equipment. In other words, users are likely to neglect the drying of the filter components, resulting in a decrease in the cleaning ability and filtration efficiency of the cleaning equipment. When the cleaning equipment is restarted, bacteria or odors on the filter components will be released into the home environment, causing great harm to the user's health.

[0032] Therefore, it is very necessary to dry the filter components. Only when the filter components are dry can the growth of bacteria and odors be avoided and the cleaning ability and filtering efficiency of the cleaning equipment be ensured.

[0033] In order to solve the above problems, the embodiments of the present application propose a control method, device, equipment, system and storage medium for cleaning equipment, which aims to avoid the growth of bacteria and odors by drying the filter components, thereby ensuring the cleaning ability and filtration efficiency of the cleaning equipment.

[0034] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 The present invention provides a flow chart of a control method for a cleaning device provided in an embodiment of the present invention. The control method for a cleaning device can be applied in a cleaning system or cleaning device to control the cleaning device to dry the filter component of the cleaning device, clean the filter component, and provide a replacement prompt.

[0035] The drying process includes at least one of air drying and heat treatment;

[0036] When the state of the cleaning device meets the air-drying condition, controlling the filter component of the cleaning device to be air-dried;

[0037] When the state of the cleaning device meets the heat treatment condition, the filter component of the cleaning device is controlled to be heat treated.

[0038] Next, a cleaning system for controlling an air-drying process for a filter assembly of a cleaning device will be described.

[0039] like Figure 2 As shown, the cleaning system includes one or more cleaning devices 100 , and a control device 200 .

[0040] The cleaning device 100 includes but is not limited to a floor scrubber, a washing and mopping machine, a cleaning robot, etc. The cleaning device 100 can be used to automatically mop the floor, and the application scenarios of the cleaning device 100 can be household indoor cleaning, large venue cleaning, etc.

[0041] Figure 3 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a partial structure of a cleaning device 100 in one embodiment. Figure 4 FIG1 is a schematic block diagram of a cleaning device 100 according to one embodiment. The cleaning device 100 includes a main body 101, a motion mechanism 102, a cleaning member 103, a cleaning device controller 104, a cleaning device storage 105, a first gas suction device 106, a filter assembly 107, an interaction unit 108, a dirt recovery tank 109, and a charging component (not shown).

[0042] The motion mechanism 102 is a component related to the movement of the cleaning device 100 and is used to drive the cleaning device 100 to move so that the cleaning member 103 can mop and clean the floor.

[0043] The cleaning member 103 is used for mopping the floor, and the number of the cleaning member 103 can be one or more. The cleaning member 103 is, for example, a mop, and the cleaning member 103 is arranged at the bottom of the main body 101 .

[0044] The cleaning device controller 104 is disposed inside the main body 101 and is used to control the cleaning device 100 to perform specific operations. The cleaning device controller 104 may be, for example, a central processing unit (CPU) or a microprocessor. Figure 4 As shown, the cleaning device controller 104 is electrically connected to the cleaning device storage 105, the motion mechanism 102, the first gas suction device 106, the interaction unit 108 and other components to control these components.

[0045] The cleaning device memory 105 is provided on the main body 101 . A program is stored in the cleaning device memory 105 . When the program is executed by the cleaning device controller 104 , corresponding operations are implemented.

[0046] A first air suction device 106 is disposed within the main body 101 and includes, but is not limited to, a blower. Exemplarily, the first air suction device 106 is disposed above the filter assembly 107. The first air suction device 106 is used to draw dirt into the dirt recovery tank 109 and to air-dry the filter assembly 107.

[0047] The filter assembly 107 is arranged inside the main body 101, and the filter assembly 107 is located between the first gas suction device 106 and the suction channel of the dirt recovery box 109. The filter assembly 107 filters the dirty water vapor sucked in by the first gas suction device 106. The dirt recovery box 109 is used to collect the dirt sucked in by the first gas suction device 106. Exemplarily, the filter assembly 107 includes a velvet filter assembly, and the filter assembly 107 is located at the upper part of the dirt recovery box 109. When the filter assembly in the filter assembly 107 is not dry, by controlling the operation of the first gas suction device 106, the air will flow and generate a corresponding airflow. The generated airflow can be used to air-dry the filter assembly in the filter assembly 107, thereby avoiding the growth of bacteria and odors, ensuring the cleaning ability and filtering efficiency of the cleaning device 100, and especially performing the air-drying operation on a clean floor.

[0048] The interaction unit 108 is provided on the main body 101, and the user can interact with the cleaning device 100 through the interaction unit 108. The interaction unit 108 includes, for example, a switch button and a speaker. The user can control the cleaning device 100 to start or stop working by pressing the switch button. The cleaning device 100 can play a prompt sound to the user through the speaker.

[0049] The main body 101 is further provided with a charging component, which is used to obtain power from an external device to charge the cleaning device 100 .

[0050] In some embodiments, cleaning device 100 further includes a second air extraction device 110 disposed within main body 101. Second air extraction device 110 includes, but is not limited to, a moisture separation blower. Exemplarily, second air extraction device 110 is located below filter assembly 107. Second air extraction device 110 is used to separate moisture drawn in by first air extraction device 106 and to air-dry filter assembly 107.

[0051] Specifically, when the filter component 107 is not dry, by controlling the operation of the second gas suction device 110, the air will also flow and generate a corresponding airflow. The generated airflow can be used to dry the filter component 107, thereby avoiding the growth of bacteria and odors and ensuring the cleaning ability and filtration efficiency of the cleaning equipment 100.

[0052] For example, Figure 4 As shown, the cleaning equipment controller 104 is also electrically connected to the second gas suction device 110 to control the second gas suction device 110 .

[0053] In some embodiments, the cleaning device 100 further includes a drying device. Exemplarily, the drying device is disposed at the base of the cleaning device 100. The drying device not only dries the cleaning element 103 but also, in conjunction with controlling the operation of the first gas suction device 106 and / or the second gas suction device 110, generates hot air to dry the filter assembly 107. Because the filter assembly 107 is dried using hot air, the drying process is faster and more efficient than simply drying the filter assembly 107 through the operation of the first gas suction device 106 or the second gas suction device 110.

[0054] In some embodiments, the cleaning device 100 further includes a heating device. The heating device includes, but is not limited to, an infrared LED (Light-Emitting Diode Light), an electric heating film, and the like. Exemplarily, the heating device is located within the airflow path of the cleaning device 100, and by turning on the heating device, the filter assembly 107 is heated and air-dried.

[0055] In some embodiments, a heating device located within the airflow channel of the cleaning apparatus is activated, and the first and / or second air suction devices are controlled to operate to heat and air-dry the filter assembly. Exemplarily, the heating device is located upstream of the filter assembly along the direction of airflow in the airflow channel, or the heating device is located on the filter assembly 107.

[0056] Along the flow direction of the airflow in the airflow channel, the heating device is located upstream of the filter assembly. The hot air sucked by the suction device will evenly heat and dry the filter assembly, so that the heating and drying effect of the filter assembly is good.

[0057] For example, the heating device is added to the HEPA mounting cavity of the filter assembly 107. By turning on the heating device, the filter assembly is heated and air-dried. Since the heating device is directly provided on the filter assembly 107, such as in the filter assembly mounting cavity, the efficiency of the heating and air-drying process of the filter assembly is higher.

[0058] The control device 200 in the cleaning system can be used to implement the steps of the control method of the cleaning device of the embodiment of the present application. Alternatively, the cleaning device controller 104 of the cleaning device 100 can be used alone as the control device 200 to implement the steps of the control method of the cleaning device of the embodiment of the present application.

[0059] In other embodiments, the cleaning system includes a separate control device 200 for implementing the steps of the control method of the cleaning device of the embodiment of the present application. The control device 200 can be set on the cleaning device 100, but is of course not limited to this. For example, the control device 200 can be a device other than the cleaning device 100, such as a home smart terminal, a master control device, etc.

[0060] In other embodiments, the cleaning system further includes one or more base stations 300. The base stations 300 are used in conjunction with the cleaning device 100. For example, the base stations 300 can charge the cleaning device 100 or provide a docking location for the cleaning device 100. The base stations 300 can also clean the cleaning member 103 of the cleaning device 100, where the cleaning member 103 is used to mop and clean the floor.

[0061] Optionally, the cleaning device controller 104 of the cleaning device 100 and / or the base station controller of the base station 300 can be used alone or in combination as the control device 200 to implement the steps of the control method of the cleaning device of the embodiment of the present application. In other embodiments, the control device 200 can be set on the base station 300, of course, it is not limited to this.

[0062] Optionally, a drying device can also be provided on the base station 300. Through the drying device, not only can the cleaning element 103 be dried, but the filter component 107 can also be air-dried by the generated hot air in combination with the control of the operation of the first gas suction device 106 and / or the second gas suction device 110.

[0063] Next, a cleaning system for controlling the heat treatment of the filter components of the cleaning equipment will be described. The cleaning system of this scheme is similar to the cleaning system of the air-drying scheme, except that the heat treatment scheme also includes an air outlet and a movable barrier.

[0064] Turning on a heating device provided in an air flow channel of the cleaning device to heat the filter assembly;

[0065] In some embodiments, the heating device is located upstream of the filter assembly along the direction of airflow in the airflow channel. When the heating device is located upstream of the filter assembly along the direction of airflow in the airflow channel, the hot air drawn by the suction device evenly heats and dries the filter assembly, thereby achieving a better heating and drying effect on the filter assembly.

[0066] In some embodiments, a heating device is provided on the filter assembly 107. For example, the heating device is added within the HEPA mounting cavity of the filter assembly 107. By turning on the heating device, the filter assembly is heated and dried. Because the heating device is directly provided on the filter assembly 107, such as within the mounting cavity, the efficiency of heating and drying the filter assembly is increased.

[0067] An air outlet is provided on a side wall of the cleaning device between the first gas suction device and the filter assembly. When the filter assembly is subjected to heat treatment, the air outlet is controlled to open so that the generated hot air flows out of the cleaning device through the air outlet;

[0068] When the cleaning device is performing a cleaning operation, the air outlet is controlled to be closed so that the first gas suction device can normally perform dirt suction.

[0069] In some embodiments, a movable barrier is further provided between the first gas suction device and the air outlet. When the filter assembly is subjected to heat treatment, the movable barrier is controlled to unfold and the air outlet is opened, so that the generated hot air flows out of the cleaning device through the air outlet and is blocked by the movable barrier from flowing toward the first gas suction device.

[0070] When the cleaning equipment is performing a cleaning operation, the movable blocking member is controlled to be retracted and the air outlet is closed, so that the first gas suction device can normally perform dirt suction.

[0071] For example, Figure 5 As shown, the air outlet B is arranged between the first gas suction device 106 and the filter assembly 107, and the movable barrier A is arranged between the first gas suction device 106 and the air outlet B. The movable barrier A is unfolded to separate the first gas suction device 106 from the filter assembly 107.

[0072] When the cleaning device 100 is performing a cleaning operation, the movable barrier A is controlled to be retracted and the air outlet B is closed, so that the first gas suction device 106 can normally perform dirt suction.

[0073] When the filter assembly 107 is subjected to heat treatment, the movable barrier A is controlled to expand and the air outlet B is opened. In this way, the hot air generated by the heating device flows out of the air outlet B. At the same time, the movable barrier A blocks the hot air from flowing toward the first air suction device 106, further protecting the first air suction device 106 and extending its service life. The expansion of the movable barrier A and the opening of the air outlet B can be achieved simultaneously by a single component or by using multiple components.

[0074] It should be understood that the cleaning device 100 and the cleaning system described in the embodiment of the present application are merely specific examples and do not constitute a specific limitation on the cleaning device 100 and the cleaning system of the embodiment of the present application. The cleaning device 100 and the cleaning system of the embodiment of the present application may also be implemented in other specific ways. For example, in other implementations, the cleaning device 100 may have more or fewer components.

[0075] Regardless of whether it is an air drying process or a heat treatment process, the conditions set for the cleaning equipment to achieve the air drying process or the heat treatment process are the same.

[0076] like Figure 1 As shown, the control method of the cleaning device according to the embodiment of the present application includes steps S110 to S130.

[0077] S110: Detect the status of the cleaning equipment.

[0078] Exemplarily, detecting the status of a cleaning device includes, but is not limited to, detecting the current working status of the cleaning device, detecting the cumulative working status of the cleaning device, detecting the status of components of the cleaning device, etc. The current working status of the cleaning device includes, for example, an unactivated state, a sweeping working state, a scrubbing working state, a self-cleaning working state, etc.; the cumulative working status of the cleaning device includes, for example, the operating time of the cleaning device and the number of self-cleaning times of the cleaning device; and the status of components of the cleaning device includes, for example, the humidity of the filter component.

[0079] For example, when it is detected that the base station cleans the cleaning parts of the cleaning device or the cleaning device cleans the cleaning parts autonomously, it is determined that the current working state of the cleaning device is the self-cleaning working state.

[0080] For another example, a humidity detection device such as a humidity sensor is provided on the filter assembly, and the humidity of the filter assembly is detected by using the humidity detection device such as the humidity sensor.

[0081] For another example, statistics are collected on the number of self-cleaning times and operation time of the cleaning equipment, and the current accumulated number of self-cleaning times and operation time of the cleaning equipment are determined by querying the historical record information of the cleaning equipment.

[0082] S120: Determine whether the state of the cleaning device meets a preset drying process condition.

[0083] Exemplarily, the drying process conditions of the cleaning device are pre-set. For example, the user sets the drying process conditions of the corresponding cleaning device through the interaction unit of the cleaning device.

[0084] Exemplarily, the state of the cleaning device meeting the preset drying processing conditions includes at least one of the following:

[0085] The self-cleaning times of the cleaning device reaches a first preset times threshold;

[0086] The operating time of the cleaning device reaches a first preset time threshold;

[0087] The cleaning device completes the current self-cleaning operation;

[0088] The humidity of the filter assembly reaches a preset humidity threshold.

[0089] For example, a first preset number threshold corresponding to the number of self-cleaning times of the cleaning device is set through the interaction unit of the cleaning device. If the number of self-cleaning times of the cleaning device reaches the first preset number threshold, the state of the cleaning device meets the drying processing condition.

[0090] It should be noted that the specific value of the first preset number threshold can be flexibly set according to actual conditions and is not specifically limited in this application.

[0091] For another example, a first preset time threshold corresponding to the operation time of the cleaning device is set through the interaction unit of the cleaning device. If the operation time of the cleaning device reaches the first preset time threshold, the state of the cleaning device meets the drying processing condition.

[0092] It should be noted that the specific value of the first preset duration threshold can be flexibly set according to actual conditions and is not specifically limited in this application.

[0093] For another example, through the interactive unit of the cleaning device, it is set that when the cleaning device completes any self-cleaning work, the state of the cleaning device meets the drying processing condition.

[0094] For another example, a preset humidity threshold corresponding to the humidity of the filter assembly is set through the interaction unit of the cleaning device. If the humidity of the filter assembly reaches the preset humidity threshold, the state of the cleaning device meets the drying processing condition.

[0095] It should be noted that the specific value of the preset humidity threshold can be flexibly set according to actual conditions and is not specifically limited in this application.

[0096] It should be understood that the state of the cleaning equipment meeting the drying treatment conditions is not limited to the several ways listed above, and no specific limitation is made in this application.

[0097] After the current state of the cleaning device is obtained, a determination is made based on the current state of the cleaning device to determine whether the state of the cleaning device satisfies the preset drying process conditions. For example, if the current number of self-cleaning cycles of the cleaning device has not yet reached the first preset number threshold, that means the current number of self-cleaning cycles of the cleaning device is still relatively small, the filter assembly does not yet require drying, and the state of the cleaning device does not meet the preset drying process conditions. Conversely, if the current number of self-cleaning cycles of the cleaning device reaches the first preset number threshold, that means the current number of self-cleaning cycles of the cleaning device is relatively large, the filter assembly may require drying, and the state of the cleaning device satisfies the preset drying process conditions.

[0098] For another example, if the current operating time of the cleaning device has not reached the first preset operating time threshold, it means that the operating time of the cleaning device is still relatively short, the filter assembly does not need to be dried yet, and the state of the cleaning device does not meet the preset drying process conditions. Conversely, if the current operating time of the cleaning device reaches the first preset operating time threshold, it means that the current operating time of the cleaning device is not short, the filter assembly may need to be dried, and the state of the cleaning device meets the preset drying process conditions.

[0099] For another example, the cleaning device has completed the current self-cleaning operation, that is, the cleaning device has just performed the self-cleaning operation. At this time, the filter component may be wet, and it is determined that the state of the cleaning device meets the preset drying processing conditions.

[0100] For another example, if the humidity of the filter assembly of the current cleaning device is lower than a preset humidity threshold, it is determined that the state of the cleaning device does not meet the preset drying process conditions, and the filter assembly does not need to be dried. Conversely, if the humidity of the filter assembly of the current cleaning device reaches the preset humidity threshold, it is determined that the state of the cleaning device meets the preset drying process conditions, and the filter assembly needs to be dried.

[0101] The specific air-drying control method for the cleaning equipment is different in the scheme for air-drying the filter component of the cleaning equipment. The following is a description of the control method for the scheme for air-drying the filter component of the cleaning equipment.

[0102] S130: When the state of the cleaning device satisfies the air-drying condition, control the filter assembly of the cleaning device to be air-dried.

[0103] In some embodiments, controlling the filter assembly of the cleaning device to perform an air-drying process includes at least one of the following:

[0104] controlling the operation of the first gas suction device of the cleaning equipment to dry the filter assembly by generating an airflow;

[0105] controlling the second gas suction device of the cleaning equipment to operate and air-dry the filter assembly;

[0106] Turning on the drying device corresponding to the cleaning device to heat the air, and controlling the first gas suction device and / or the second gas suction device to operate, so as to air-dry the filter assembly with the generated hot air;

[0107] The heating device provided in the air flow channel of the cleaning device is turned on to heat and air-dry the filter assembly.

[0108] For example, when it is determined that the state of the cleaning equipment meets the preset air-drying conditions, the first gas suction device (such as a fan) of the cleaning equipment is directly controlled to operate, and the filter component is air-dried by the airflow generated by the operation of the first gas suction device.

[0109] For example, when it is determined that the state of the cleaning equipment meets the preset air-drying conditions, the second gas suction device (such as a water vapor separation fan) of the cleaning equipment is directly controlled to operate, and the filter component is air-dried by the operation of the second gas suction device.

[0110] For example, when it is determined that the state of the cleaning device meets the preset air-drying conditions, the first and second air-drying devices of the cleaning device are both controlled to operate to air-dry the filter assembly. Operating both the first and second air-drying devices increases air-drying efficiency.

[0111] For example, when the cleaning device's status is determined to meet preset air-drying conditions, the drying device corresponding to the cleaning device is activated to heat the air, and the first gas extraction device is controlled to operate, using the generated hot air to air-dry the filter assembly. Because the filter assembly is air-dried using hot air, the drying process is faster and more efficient than air-drying the filter assembly using only the first gas extraction device.

[0112] For example, when the cleaning device's status determines that it meets preset air-drying conditions, the corresponding drying device of the cleaning device is activated to heat the air, and the second gas extraction device is controlled to operate, using the generated hot air to air-dry the filter assembly. Because the filter assembly is air-dried with hot air, the drying process is faster and more efficient than air-drying the filter assembly solely through the operation of the second gas extraction device.

[0113] For example, when it is determined that the cleaning device's status meets preset air-drying conditions, the cleaning device's corresponding drying device is activated to heat the air, and both the first and second air-extraction devices are controlled to operate, using the generated hot air to air-dry the filter assembly. Because the filter assembly is air-dried with hot air, the drying process is faster and more efficient than simply operating the first and second air-extraction devices.

[0114] For example, when it is determined that the cleaning device's status meets preset air-drying conditions, the cleaning device's heating device is activated to heat and air-dry the filter assembly. The heating device includes, but is not limited to, infrared LEDs and electric heating films. The heating device is disposed on the filter assembly, exemplarily within the filter assembly mounting cavity of the filter assembly. Using this heating device to heat and air-dry the filter assembly is more efficient.

[0115] It should be noted that the methods for treating the filter assembly are not limited to the methods listed above and are not specifically limited in this application. For example, the filter assembly can be air-dried by controlling any combination of the first gas suction device, the second gas suction device, the drying device, and the heating device.

[0116] In some embodiments, controlling the operation of the first gas suction device of the cleaning device to dry the filter assembly by generating an airflow includes:

[0117] controlling the first gas suction device to operate in a first operating mode to air-dry the filter assembly by generating a first-directional airflow; or

[0118] The first gas suction device is controlled to operate in a second operation mode, and the filter component is air-dried by the generated second direction airflow.

[0119] Exemplarily, the first gas suction device includes multiple operation modes, for example, a first operation mode and a second operation mode.

[0120] Exemplarily, the first operating mode is a forward operating mode, the first direction airflow is a bottom-to-top direction airflow, the first gas suction device is controlled to operate in the forward operating mode, and the filter component is air-dried by the bottom-to-top direction airflow generated.

[0121] Exemplarily, the second operating mode is a reverse operating mode, the second direction airflow is a top-down direction airflow, the first gas suction device is controlled to operate in the reverse operating mode, and the filter component is air-dried by the generated top-down direction airflow.

[0122] For example, the first gas suction device is a fan. When it is determined that the state of the cleaning equipment meets the preset air-drying conditions, the fan is controlled to operate in a forward operation mode, and the filter component is air-dried by the airflow generated from bottom to top.

[0123] Alternatively, when it is determined that the state of the cleaning equipment meets the preset air-drying conditions, the fan is controlled to operate in a reverse operation mode, and the filter assembly is air-dried by the airflow generated from the top to the bottom. Since the airflow is from the top to the bottom, it can prevent the water vapor on the HEPA in the filter assembly from contaminating the filter assembly again, and it also prevents the sewage in the dirt recovery tank from being sucked into the filter assembly and causing contamination of the filter assembly. Therefore, compared with the airflow from the bottom to the top generated by the fan operating in the forward operation mode to dry the filter assembly, the airflow from the top to the bottom generated by the fan operating in the reverse operation mode is more effective in drying the filter assembly.

[0124] Whether it is air drying or heat treatment, the detection methods and replacement conditions for cleaning equipment are the same.

[0125] In some embodiments, the controlling step of drying the filter assembly of the cleaning device comprises:

[0126] Detecting whether sewage and / or garbage in a dirt recovery tank of the cleaning equipment has been discharged;

[0127] After the sewage and / or garbage in the waste recovery tank are discharged, the filter assembly is controlled to be dried.

[0128] For example, when it is determined that the state of the cleaning device meets the preset drying process conditions, before performing the drying process on the filter assembly, it is first detected whether the sewage and / or garbage in the dirt recovery tank of the cleaning device has been discharged. For example, a corresponding sensor is provided in the dirt recovery tank to detect whether the sewage and / or garbage in the dirt recovery tank has been discharged.

[0129] If the sewage and / or garbage in the dirt recovery tank of the cleaning equipment has not been discharged, the sewage and / or garbage in the dirt recovery tank of the cleaning equipment will be discharged first. After the sewage and / or garbage in the dirt recovery tank of the cleaning equipment has been discharged, that is, when there is no sewage and / or garbage in the dirt recovery tank, the filter assembly will be dried. This prevents the first gas suction device from sucking the sewage and / or garbage from the dirt recovery tank into the filter assembly during the drying process, thereby causing further contamination of the filter assembly. In other words, the filter assembly can be dried without causing contamination of the filter assembly.

[0130] In some embodiments, when it is determined that the state of the cleaning device does not meet the preset drying processing conditions, that is, the filter component does not need to be dried at present, at this time, the corresponding operation when the state of the cleaning device does not meet the preset drying processing conditions can be performed, or no response processing is performed and the operation is ended.

[0131] For example, when it is determined that the state of the cleaning device does not meet the preset drying process conditions, the process may return to the operation of re-detecting the state of the cleaning device, and loop through the above steps S110 to S130.

[0132] It should be noted that the present application does not impose any specific restrictions on the treatment when the state of the cleaning equipment does not meet the preset drying treatment conditions.

[0133] In some embodiments, the control method of the cleaning device further includes:

[0134] When the state of the cleaning device meets the drying process condition, drying process prompt information of the filter component is output.

[0135] To further enhance the user experience, when the cleaning device's status meets the drying conditions, a filter drying prompt is output to remind the user that the filter needs to be dried. This filter drying prompt includes, but is not limited to, voice prompts, text prompts, image prompts, animation prompts, and the like.

[0136] For example, a prompt voice for the drying process of the filter component is played to the user through a speaker.

[0137] In some embodiments, the control method of the cleaning device further includes:

[0138] When the cleaning device meets the preset filter component cleaning / replacement conditions, the cleaning device cleans / replaces the filter component or outputs filter component cleaning / replacement prompt information.

[0139] Exemplarily, filter component cleaning / replacement conditions are pre-set. For example, a user sets corresponding filter component cleaning / replacement conditions through an interactive unit of the cleaning device. The filter component cleaning / replacement conditions include filter component cleaning conditions or filter component replacement conditions.

[0140] Exemplarily, the cleaning equipment meets the filter component cleaning / replacement conditions including at least one of the following:

[0141] The pressure difference before and after the filter assembly is outside the preset pressure difference range;

[0142] the number of particles emitted by the cleaning equipment exceeds a preset particle number threshold;

[0143] The self-cleaning times of the cleaning device reaches a second preset times threshold;

[0144] The operating time of the cleaning device reaches a second preset time threshold;

[0145] The number of drying times of the filter assembly reaches a third preset number threshold.

[0146] For example, a preset pressure differential range corresponding to the pressure differential across the filter assembly is set via the interaction unit of the cleaning device. Exemplarily, the pressure differential across a brand-new filter assembly is used as a reference to set the preset pressure differential range. If the pressure differential across the filter assembly of the cleaning device falls outside the preset pressure differential range, the filter assembly cleaning / replacement condition is met.

[0147] It should be noted that the specific numerical value of the preset pressure difference range can be flexibly set according to actual conditions and is not specifically limited in this application.

[0148] For another example, a preset particle count threshold corresponding to the number of particles emitted by the cleaning device can be set through the interaction unit of the cleaning device. It is understood that the preset particle count threshold can be a fixed value or multiple values ​​of varying magnitudes. Different preset particle count thresholds correspond to different levels of contamination / wear of the filter assembly. If the number of particles emitted by the cleaning device exceeds the preset particle count threshold, it indicates that the filter assembly is contaminated / worn, and the filter assembly cleaning / replacement condition is met.

[0149] It should be noted that the specific value of the preset particle number threshold can be flexibly set according to actual conditions and is not specifically limited in this application.

[0150] In another example, a second preset number threshold corresponding to the number of self-cleaning times of the cleaning device is set through the interaction unit of the cleaning device. If the number of self-cleaning times of the cleaning device reaches the second preset number threshold, the filter assembly cleaning / replacement condition is met. The second preset number threshold is greater than the first preset number threshold.

[0151] It should be noted that the specific value of the second preset number threshold can be flexibly set according to actual conditions and is not specifically limited in this application.

[0152] In another example, a second preset time threshold corresponding to the operating time of the cleaning device is set through the interaction unit of the cleaning device. If the operating time of the cleaning device reaches the second preset time threshold, the filter component cleaning / replacement condition is met. The second preset time threshold is greater than the first preset time threshold.

[0153] It should be noted that the specific value of the second preset time threshold can be flexibly set according to actual conditions and is not specifically limited in this application.

[0154] For another example, a third preset number threshold corresponding to the number of drying times of the filter assembly is set through the interaction unit of the cleaning device. If the number of drying times of the filter assembly reaches the third preset number threshold, the filter assembly cleaning / replacement condition is met.

[0155] It should be noted that the specific value of the third preset number threshold can be flexibly set according to actual conditions and is not specifically limited in this application.

[0156] It should be understood that the cleaning equipment meeting the filter component cleaning / replacement conditions is not limited to the several methods listed above, and no specific restrictions are made in this application.

[0157] It should be noted that the preset pressure difference range, preset particle number threshold, second preset number threshold, second preset time threshold, third preset number threshold and other values ​​set for the filter component cleaning conditions are different from the preset pressure difference range, preset particle number threshold, second preset number threshold, second preset time threshold, third preset number threshold and other values ​​set for the filter component replacement conditions.

[0158] Exemplary methods include detecting the pressure differential across the filter assembly, for example, by placing a pitot tube on either side of the filter assembly to measure static pressure. The difference between the two static pressures is the pressure differential across the filter assembly. Alternatively, the total pressure across the filter assembly can be directly measured using a pitot tube, which is the pressure differential across the filter assembly. The obtained pressure differential across the filter assembly is compared with a preset pressure differential range. If the pressure differential across the filter assembly falls outside the preset pressure differential range, the cleaning device determines that the filter assembly cleaning / replacement conditions have been met. At this point, the cleaning device cleans / replaces the filter assembly, or outputs a filter assembly cleaning / replacement reminder to prompt the user to clean / replace the filter assembly promptly.

[0159] Exemplary methods include detecting the number of particulates emitted by the cleaning device, for example, by installing a particle sensor on the filter assembly. The particle sensor detects the number of particulates emitted by the cleaning device. The detected number of particulates emitted by the cleaning device is compared with a preset particle count threshold. If the preset particle count threshold exceeds the preset particle count threshold, the cleaning device is determined to meet the filter assembly cleaning / replacement requirements. In this case, the cleaning device cleans / replaces the filter assembly, or outputs a filter assembly cleaning / replacement reminder to prompt the user to clean / replace the filter assembly promptly.

[0160] For example, the current cumulative number of self-cleaning times of the cleaning device is obtained and compared with a second preset number threshold. If the number of self-cleaning times of the cleaning device reaches the second preset number threshold, the cleaning device is determined to meet the filter component cleaning / replacement conditions. In this case, the cleaning device cleans / replaces the filter component, or outputs a filter component cleaning / replacement reminder to remind the user to clean / replace the filter component in a timely manner.

[0161] Exemplarily, the filter component cleaning / replacement prompt information includes but is not limited to voice prompt information, text prompt information, image prompt information, animation prompt information, etc.

[0162] For example, the current cumulative operating time of the cleaning device is obtained and compared with a second preset operating time threshold. If the operating time of the cleaning device reaches the second preset operating time threshold, it is determined that the cleaning device meets the filter component cleaning / replacement conditions. In this case, the cleaning device cleans / replaces the filter component, or outputs a filter component cleaning / replacement reminder to remind the user to clean / replace the filter component in a timely manner.

[0163] For example, the current cumulative number of times the filter assembly has been dried is obtained, and the number of times the filter assembly has been air-dried is compared with a third preset number threshold. If the number of times the filter assembly has been air-dried reaches the third preset number threshold, the cleaning device determines that the filter assembly cleaning / replacement condition has been met. In this case, the cleaning device cleans / replaces the filter assembly, or outputs a filter assembly cleaning / replacement reminder to remind the user to clean / replace the filter assembly promptly.

[0164] It should be noted that the above-mentioned examples only represent situations in which a cleaning device satisfies the conditions for cleaning / replacing a filter component, and situations in which a cleaning device satisfies the conditions for cleaning / replacing a filter component are not limited to the above-mentioned examples.

[0165] In some embodiments, the control method of the cleaning device further includes:

[0166] When the cleaning device meets a preset data reset condition, at least one of the self-cleaning times, the operating time, and the drying times is reset.

[0167] The data such as the self-cleaning times, operating time, and drying times of the cleaning equipment are all cumulative data. When the cleaning equipment meets the preset data reset conditions, at least one of the self-cleaning times, operating time, and air-drying times of the cleaning equipment is reset.

[0168] In some embodiments, the cleaning device meeting the data reset condition includes at least one of the following:

[0169] Detecting a skipping operation on the output filter component cleaning / replacement prompt information;

[0170] It is detected that the filter component has been absent for a period of time that reaches a first preset period of time.

[0171] Exemplarily, a data reset condition can be set via the interaction unit of the cleaning device. For example, upon detecting a skip operation on the output filter component cleaning / replacement reminder, the cleaning device satisfies at least one of the self-cleaning times, operating hours, and drying times reset condition. For another example, upon detecting that the filter component has been continuously absent for a first preset time period, the cleaning device satisfies at least one of the self-cleaning times, operating hours, and drying times reset condition.

[0172] For example, the second preset number threshold is set to 10 times. By obtaining the current cumulative number of self-cleaning times of the cleaning device, the number of self-cleaning times of the cleaning device is compared with the second preset number threshold. If the number of self-cleaning times of the cleaning device reaches 10 times, it is determined that the cleaning device meets the filter component cleaning / replacement conditions. At this time, the filter component cleaning / replacement prompt information is output, for example, Figure 6 As shown, a filter component cleaning prompt message such as "Please clean and air the filter component" is output. When the user clicks the "skip" control and a skip operation is detected for the output filter component cleaning / replacement prompt message, the self-cleaning count of the cleaning device is reset.

[0173] In actual application scenarios, the filter component is usually not in place for a long time only when the user has cleaned the filter component. For example, the first preset time is preset to 2 hours. By performing an in-place detection on the filter component, when it is detected that the filter component has not been in place for a continuous period of 2 hours, it is considered that the user has cleaned the filter component. After the filter component is cleaned, it is inaccurate to use the current accumulated self-cleaning times of the cleaning device as a reference to determine whether the cleaning device meets the filter component cleaning / replacement conditions. Therefore, when it is detected that the filter component has not been in place for a continuous period of time reaching the first preset time, the self-cleaning times of the cleaning device are reset to improve the accuracy of determining whether the cleaning device meets the filter component cleaning / replacement conditions.

[0174] In some embodiments, the control method of the cleaning device further includes:

[0175] When it is detected that the lying time of the cleaning rod of the cleaning device reaches a second preset time, at least one of the second preset number threshold, the second preset time threshold, and the third preset number threshold is updated.

[0176] For example, in addition to resetting data such as the number of self-cleaning times, operating time, and drying times of the cleaning device, at least one of the second preset number threshold corresponding to the self-cleaning times of the cleaning device, the second preset time threshold corresponding to the operating time of the cleaning device, and the third preset number threshold corresponding to the drying times of the filter component can be updated when the cleaning device meets corresponding conditions.

[0177] Exemplarily, the state of the cleaning rod of the cleaning device is detected, for example, the angle between the cleaning rod and the ground is detected. When the angle between the cleaning rod and the ground is less than a preset angle threshold, it is determined that the cleaning rod is lying down.

[0178] For example, the preset angle threshold is set to 30 degrees. When the angle between the cleaning rod and the ground is less than 30 degrees, it is determined that the cleaning rod is lying down. It should be noted that the preset angle threshold can be flexibly set according to actual conditions and is not limited to a specific value.

[0179] Exemplarily, when it is detected that the cleaning rod lies down, timing is performed. When the time the cleaning rod lies down reaches a second preset time, at least one of the second preset number threshold, the second preset time threshold, and the third preset number threshold is updated.

[0180] In some embodiments, based on the length of time the cleaning rod is lying down, an update value corresponding to at least one of the second preset number threshold, the second preset time threshold, and the third preset number threshold is determined, and based on the determined update value, at least one of the second preset number threshold, the second preset time threshold, and the third preset number threshold is updated.

[0181] In actual application scenarios, when the cleaning rod of a cleaning device lies down, moisture is more likely to enter the filter assembly. The longer the cleaning rod is lying down, the more moisture enters the filter assembly, prompting the filter assembly to need cleaning / replacement more quickly. Therefore, at least one of the second preset number threshold, the second preset time threshold, and the third preset number threshold can be updated based on the length of time the cleaning rod is lying down, thereby more accurately determining whether the cleaning device meets the filter assembly cleaning / replacement conditions.

[0182] For example, the second preset number threshold value corresponding to the preset number of self-cleaning times of the cleaning device is 10 times, and the preset lying time of the cleaning rod is 5 minutes, which corresponds to the second preset number threshold value minus 1. If it is detected that the lying time of the cleaning rod reaches 15 minutes, the corresponding second preset number threshold value is minus 3, and the second preset number threshold value corresponding to the self-cleaning times of the cleaning device is updated to 7 times. That is, when the self-cleaning times of the cleaning device reach 7 times, the cleaning device cleans / replaces the filter component, or outputs a filter component cleaning / replacement prompt. By updating the second preset number threshold value accordingly based on the lying time of the cleaning rod, according to the updated second preset number threshold value, it is possible to more accurately judge whether the cleaning device meets the filter component cleaning / replacement conditions, thereby timely cleaning / replacing the filter component, or timely outputting a filter component cleaning / replacement prompt.

[0183] Similarly, by updating the second preset time threshold, the third preset number threshold, etc. based on the length of time the cleaning rod is lying down, it is also possible to more accurately determine whether the cleaning equipment meets the filter component cleaning / replacement conditions, thereby cleaning / replacing the filter component in a timely manner, or outputting the filter component cleaning / replacement prompt information in a timely manner.

[0184] The control method of the cleaning equipment provided in the embodiment of the present application includes: detecting the status of the cleaning equipment; determining whether the status of the cleaning equipment meets the preset drying processing conditions; when the status of the cleaning equipment meets the drying processing conditions, controlling the drying processing of the filter component of the cleaning equipment; by detecting the status of the cleaning equipment, when the drying processing conditions are met, the filter component of the cleaning equipment is dried in time, thereby avoiding the problem that the filter component may become moldy and smelly due to failure to dry in time, thereby ensuring the filtration efficiency of the filter component and guaranteeing the cleaning ability of the cleaning equipment.
