[0036] In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art without creative work belong to the protection scope of the present application.

[0037] In the description of the embodiments of the present application, it should be noted that the terms “center”, “longitudinal”, “transverse”, “upper”, “lower”, “front”, “rear”, “left”, “right”, “vertical”, “horizontal”, “top”, “bottom”, “inner”, “outer” and the like indicate the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and are only for the purpose of facilitating the description of the embodiments of the present application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a particular orientation, be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the embodiments of the present application. In addition, the terms “first”, “second”, “third” are only for the purpose of description, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0038] The following will be described in combination with Figures 1-9 The control method of the scrubber, the control device of the scrubber and the scrubber of the present application are described.

[0039] Figure 1 The flowchart of the control method of the scrubber provided by the present application is shown in FIG. 1, and the control method of the scrubber provided by the present application comprises the following steps. Figure 1

[0040] Step S100: acquiring indoor environment information and working parameter information of the scrubber;

[0041] It should be noted that for the acquisition of the indoor environment information, corresponding sensors and controllers can be arranged at positions such as the body and the base of the scrubber, and the sensors include temperature sensors, humidity sensors and the like.

[0042] In possible embodiments, according to the start of the cleaning requirement, the acquisition of the indoor environment information and the working parameter information is started.

[0043] Step S200: acquiring outdoor environment information sent by other devices in the Internet of Things;

[0044] It should be noted that for the acquisition of the outdoor environment information, the sensors arranged on other devices of the same brand or in communication connection with the scrubber in the Internet of Things can be used for acquisition, including temperature sensors, humidity sensors, air quality sensors and the like.

[0045] ​Specifically, the existing floor cleaning machine can also select to start the drying mode by judging whether the indoor humidity reaches the preset value to clean the cleaned floor, but it does not associate the data returned by other devices not connected with the outdoor communication, the judgment result is relatively single, and it cannot be targeted to select whether to dry the floor for different outdoor humidity and weather conditions, and it is not intelligent enough, and the present application is connected with the same brand or other brand devices such as air conditioners, refrigerators, intelligent electric fans and the like within a certain range of the outdoor, receives the feedback of the outdoor environment information, combines the indoor environment information, generates a drying strategy, is more intelligent, and can improve the user experience.

[0046] Step S300: generating a drying strategy according to the indoor environment information, the outdoor environment information and the working parameter information;

[0047] Step S400: drying the cleaned floor according to the drying strategy.

[0048] Specifically, the existing handheld floor cleaning machine or washing and mopping integrated robot has the problem of residual water stains on the floor after cleaning the floor, at this time, if the air humidity is large, it will further increase the indoor humidity, affecting the user experience, and the position of the residual water stains is extremely easy to slip and the like.

[0049] Further, the present application generates a drying strategy by obtaining indoor environment information, working parameter information and outdoor environment information, combining indoor and outdoor environment parameters and the working condition of the floor cleaning machine, and drying the cleaned floor, which avoids the problem of high indoor humidity and slipping caused by residual water stains after cleaning.

[0050] It should be noted that the floor cleaning machine referred to in the present application does not only refer to the traditional handheld floor cleaning machine, but also to the washing and mopping integrated robot, or the floor cleaning robot used in cooperation with the floor cleaning base station, and the present application does not make specific limitation thereon.

[0051] Figure 2 is the flowchart of the control method of the floor cleaning machine provided by the present application, as Figure 2 shown, the control method of the floor cleaning machine provided by the present application comprises:

[0052] Step S410: determining the indoor humidity information according to the indoor environment information;

[0053] Step S420: determining that the indoor humidity information is greater than or equal to the first humidity threshold value, and controlling the floor cleaning machine to start the drying mode;

[0054] Step S430: determining that the indoor humidity information is less than the second humidity threshold value, and controlling the drying mode of the floor cleaning machine to maintain the closed state;

[0055] Specifically, in order to avoid that the indoor humidity becomes high due to the fact that the floor is not dried after cleaning when the indoor humidity is high, the indoor humidity information is determined, if the indoor humidity information is greater than the first humidity threshold, the drying mode is started to dry the cleaned floor, if the indoor humidity information is less than the second humidity threshold, the drying mode of the scrubber is maintained in the off state, and the indoor humidity information is continuously detected.

[0056] It should be noted that the first humidity threshold is greater than the second humidity threshold.

[0057] In possible implementation manners, the first humidity threshold and the second humidity threshold can be parameters set when the scrubber is manufactured, or parameters adjusted by the user according to personal preferences.

[0058] Figure 3 is a flowchart of the control method of the scrubber provided by the present application, as shown in Figure 3 The control method of the scrubber provided by the present application comprises the following steps:

[0059] Step S432: determining the outdoor humidity information according to the outdoor environment information;

[0060] Step S434: determining that the outdoor humidity information is greater than or equal to a third humidity threshold, and controlling the scrubber to start the drying mode and to lower the drying power of the drying mode;

[0061] Step S436: determining that the outdoor humidity information is less than the third humidity threshold, and controlling the drying mode of the scrubber to maintain in the off state.

[0062] Specifically, although the existing scrubber can also select to start the drying mode by determining whether the indoor humidity reaches a preset value, the determination manner is relatively single, and the influence of the outdoor environment parameter is not considered, when it is determined that the indoor humidity information is less than the second humidity threshold, i.e., the indoor humidity is low, the outdoor humidity information is obtained, if the outdoor humidity information is greater than the third humidity threshold, i.e., the outdoor humidity is high, at this time, if the doors and windows are not closed or not tightly closed, the indoor humidity will rapidly rise in a short time, at this time, the scrubber is controlled to start the drying mode to dry the cleaned floor, but at this time, since the indoor humidity is low, a high drying power is not needed, and the drying power is lowered to reduce energy loss.

[0063] Figure 4 is a flowchart of the control method of the scrubber provided by the present application, as shown in Figure 4 The control method of the scrubber provided by the present application comprises the following steps:

[0064] Step S310: determining the floor humidity information in the cleaning area of the scrubber according to the working parameter information;

[0065] Step S320: generating a drying strategy according to the indoor humidity information, the outdoor environment information and the ground humidity information.

[0066] Specifically, if the dirt degree in the cleaning area is high, a longer time, a larger amount of cleaning liquid and water are generally required for cleaning operation, and more residual water stains are often left. Therefore, the present application combines the indoor and outdoor environment parameters and the working parameter information of the scrubber, and generates a drying strategy according to different working conditions more targetedly.

[0067] It should be noted that the ground humidity information refers to the ground humidity information in the area after the scrubber performs the cleaning operation.

[0068] In a possible implementation, the water output, the cleaning liquid amount, the rotation speed of the first and second roller brushes and the cleaning time length of the scrubber in the cleaning mode are determined according to the working parameter information; the dirt degree in the cleaning area is obtained; and the ground humidity information is determined according to the water output, the cleaning liquid amount, the rotation speed, the cleaning time length and the dirt degree.

[0069] Figure 5 is a flowchart of the control method of the scrubber provided by the present application, as shown in Figure 5 The control method of the scrubber provided by the present application comprises the following steps:

[0070] Step S437: determining that the ground humidity information is greater than a ground humidity threshold value, and controlling the scrubber to start the drying mode;

[0071] Step S438: determining that the ground humidity information is less than or equal to the ground humidity threshold value, and controlling the scrubber to continue running in the cleaning mode and reducing the water output of the scrubber.

[0072] Specifically, after the ground humidity information is determined, if the ground humidity information is greater than the ground humidity threshold value, that is, the residual water stains on the cleaned ground are more and the water amount is larger, the drying mode is started to avoid that the indoor humidity is too high due to the residual water stains. If the ground humidity is small, the water output is reduced to try to avoid water stains.

[0073] It should be noted that the ground humidity threshold value can be regarded as a critical value of high ground humidity. When the ground humidity is less than the ground humidity threshold value, it means that water stains will appear after cleaning, but the amount of water stains is not high.

[0074] Figure 6 is a flowchart of the control method of the scrubber provided by the present application, as shown in Figure 6 The control method of the scrubber provided by the present application comprises the following steps:

[0075] Step S500: determining the air quality information of the outdoor environment according to the outdoor environment information;

[0076] Step S510: determining that the air quality information is less than the air quality threshold, and controlling the scrubber to switch the cleaning mode to the strong cleaning mode;

[0077] Step S520: determining that the air quality information is greater than or equal to the air quality threshold, and obtaining weather feature information sent by other devices in the Internet of Things;

[0078] Step S530: determining that the weather feature information is one or more of rain, snow and dust, and controlling the scrubber to switch the cleaning mode to the strong cleaning mode and continuously run the drying mode.

[0079] Specifically, when the air quality information outdoors is less than the air quality threshold, that is, when the outdoor air quality is poor, the personnel will bring back dust and other impurities when they come and go, and the scrubber is controlled to start the strong cleaning mode, so that the cleaning effect is better. When the air quality is good, the weather feature information is obtained, and when the weather is one of several special weather conditions such as rain and snow, the outdoor air quality is generally good at this time, but the personnel will dirty the ground when they come and go, and the strong cleaning mode also needs to be started, and the drying mode is continuously run.

[0080] In possible embodiments, a voice module is arranged on the scrubber, and voice prompt information is issued in response to an opening or closing signal of the drying mode and / or the strong cleaning mode.

[0081] In possible embodiments, the voice prompt information can be a broadcast voice in the style of "the current humidity value is out of range, and the drying mode will be started soon".

[0082] It should be noted that the present application fully utilizes cloud big data information, reduces the configuration of sensors arranged on the scrubber itself, and reduces the manufacturing cost.

[0084] Step S440: obtaining the working direction of the scrubber;

[0086] Step S444: determining that the working direction is the second direction, controlling the second roller brush to continuously spray water, the first roller brush to stop spraying water, and starting the drying device to dry the ground;

[0087] Specifically, the existing scrubber is divided into double-roller brush and single-roller brush, for the double-roller brush scrubber, the drying mode can not be limited to the form of continuously blowing hot air in continuous time, and can also be adjusted according to the working direction of the scrubber, when advancing forward, the first roller brush normally sprays water, the second roller brush does not spray water, and drying is performed; when pulling back, the second roller brush normally sprays water, the first roller brush does not spray water, and drying is performed.

[0089] Step S450: continuously switching the scrubber between the first working mode and the second working mode in a continuous cleaning time period;

[0091] In possible embodiments, the first roller brush and the second roller brush spray water for 5s, and the drying device is closed; the first roller brush and the second roller brush stop spraying water, and the drying device is opened.

[0092] It should be noted that when the first working mode is running, the first roller brush and the second roller brush continuously spray water, and the drying device is closed; when the second working mode is running, the first roller brush and the second roller brush stop spraying water, and the drying device is opened.
