[0051] In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are some but not all of the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0052] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", and the like in the specification and claims of the present application and the above-described drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and do not necessarily indicate a specific order or a chronological sequence. It should be understood that the data thus used can be interchanged under appropriate circumstances, so that the embodiments of the present application described herein can be implemented in an order other than that illustrated or described herein. In addition, the terms "include" and "have" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, for example, a process, method, system, product or device that includes a series of steps or units does not necessarily have to be limited to those steps or units clearly listed, but can include other steps or units that are not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.

[0053] Taking a carpet cleaning machine as an example, the drying function of the current carpet cleaning machine mainly takes constant temperature as the control target, that is, a fixed temperature is set by program, and the carpet cleaning machine adjusts the heating element according to the data of the temperature sensor to make the temperature reach the set range during the process of drying the carpet.

[0054] Although this drying method of the carpet cleaning machine is simple and efficient, it lacks universality, some carpets will be damaged when dried at constant temperature, and the drying efficiency of some carpets is low at constant temperature, so it cannot be applied to all carpets.

[0055] To solve such problems, the cleaning machine (e.g., a floor cleaning machine, a carpet cleaning machine, a tablecloth cleaning machine, etc.) provided by the embodiments of the present application comprises a main body, an (AC) motor and a power regulating system thereof, a humidity detection system (e.g., a humidity sensor), a heating element, an air suction port, and an air blowing port. In addition, the cleaning machine can further comprise an air duct assembly, a motion detection system, an MCU, a WIFI module, etc., wherein the air duct assembly cooperates with the motor to form the air suction port and the air blowing port.

[0056] The heating element is used for heating, such as a PTC device, etc.; the temperature sensor is used for detecting the temperature of the air outlet of the heating element, such as an NTC, etc.; the air duct assembly cooperates with the motor to form the air suction port and the air blowing port; the humidity detection system (e.g., a humidity sensor) is used for detecting the humidity of the cleaning surface (i.e., the cleaning surface of the to-be-dried object, such as a floor, a carpet, a tablecloth, etc.), and is arranged at the air suction port, and is specifically used for detecting the humidity of the cleaning surface (i.e., the cleaning surface of the to-be-dried object, such as a floor, a carpet, a tablecloth, etc.) at the air suction port, so as to detect whether the to-be-dried object (e.g., a floor, a carpet, a tablecloth, etc.) is in a dry state; the motion detection system is used for detecting whether the cleaning machine is in a motion state; the MCU is used for coordinated control of various modules; the WIFI module and the terminal (e.g., a mobile phone) APP communicate, and are used for enabling the user to actively control the drying temperature.

[0057] As shown in Figure 1 , the heating element, the temperature sensor, the humidity detection system (e.g., a humidity sensor), the motion detection system, etc. are installed on the cleaning machine base, and the (AC) motor and the air duct assembly (not shown) form the air suction port and the air blowing port, which are also integrated on the cleaning machine base. Figure 1

[0058] In the actual use of the cleaning machine (e.g., a floor cleaning machine, a carpet cleaning machine, a tablecloth cleaning machine, etc.) by the user to dry the to-be-dried object (such as a floor, a carpet, a tablecloth, etc.), the cleaning machine is set to a drying mode, and in the case that the cleaning machine is in the drying mode, the motion detection system is used to detect whether the cleaning machine is in a motion state, and if the cleaning machine is in a motion state, the humidity detected by the humidity sensor can be obtained, and the power of the heating element and the power of the motor in the cleaning machine are adjusted according to the humidity, so that the drying temperature is adjusted according to the actual working condition, the drying efficiency is improved, the to-be-dried object is prevented from being damaged, and better universality is achieved.

[0059] Specifically, as shown in Figure 2 , the embodiment of the cleaning machine drying method provided by the embodiments of the present application is shown in the flowchart, and the method is applied to a cleaning machine (e.g., a carpet cleaning machine), and can specifically comprise the following steps: ​

[0060] S201, detecting whether the cleaning machine is in a motion state when the cleaning machine is in a drying mode.

[0061] In the embodiment of the present application, for a cleaning machine, such as a carpet cleaning machine, a drying function is generally provided, and when a user wants to use the drying function of the cleaning machine, the user can select to set the cleaning machine to a drying mode, for example, the user sets the carpet cleaning machine to a drying mode.

[0062] When the cleaning machine is in a drying mode, the motion detection system described above can be used to detect whether the cleaning machine is in a motion state. For example, when the carpet cleaning machine is in a drying mode, the motion detection system described above can be used to detect whether the carpet cleaning machine is in a motion state.

[0063] It should be noted that the motion state can be understood as whether the cleaning machine is moving. For example, during the process of the user pushing or pulling the carpet cleaning machine, the carpet cleaning machine is in a motion state, which is not limited by the embodiment of the present application.

[0064] S202, if the cleaning machine is in a motion state, obtaining the humidity detected by the humidity sensor.

[0065] In the embodiment of the present application, for a cleaning machine, if the cleaning machine is in a motion state, the humidity detected by the humidity sensor can be obtained at this time, and here the humidity sensor is used to detect the humidity of the cleaning surface, and then the humidity of the cleaning surface detected by the humidity sensor is obtained.

[0066] The humidity sensor can be arranged at the air suction port, and the humidity of the cleaning surface (i.e. the cleaning surface of the object to be dried, such as the floor, carpet, tablecloth, etc.) at the air suction port detected by the humidity sensor can be obtained. The more wet the object to be dried (such as the floor, carpet, tablecloth, etc.) is, the greater the humidity is, and the drier the object to be dried (such as the floor, carpet, tablecloth, etc.) is, the smaller the humidity is, which is not limited by the embodiment of the present application.

[0067] For example, in the embodiment of the present application, for a carpet cleaning machine, if the carpet cleaning machine is in a motion state, it indicates that the user is pushing or pulling the carpet cleaning machine, and at this time the humidity of the carpet cleaning surface at the air suction port detected by the humidity sensor is obtained. The more wet the carpet is, the greater the humidity is, and the drier the carpet is, the smaller the humidity is.

[0068] S203, adjusting the power of the heating element and the power of the motor according to the humidity.

[0069] In the embodiment of the present application, the humidity of the cleaning surface (i.e. the cleaning surface of the object to be dried, such as the floor, carpet, tablecloth, etc.) at the blowing port detected by the humidity sensor can be used to adjust the power of the heating element and the power of the motor in the cleaning machine. For example, the humidity of the carpet cleaning surface at the blowing port detected by the humidity sensor can be used to adjust the power of the heating element in the carpet cleaning machine, so that the temperature of the air outlet of the heating element rises, and the power of the motor in the carpet cleaning machine is adjusted according to the humidity, so that the air speed of the blowing port increases.

[0070] It should be noted that the power of the heating element and the power of the motor in the cleaning machine are positively correlated with the humidity. As the humidity increases, indicating that the object to be dried (such as the floor, carpet, tablecloth, etc.) is wetter, the power of the heating element in the cleaning machine is increased, so that the temperature of the air outlet of the heating element rises (but the temperature cannot exceed the upper limit Tmax), and the power of the motor in the cleaning machine is increased, so that the air speed of the blowing port increases. As the humidity decreases, indicating that the object to be dried (such as the floor, carpet, tablecloth, etc.) is drier, the power of the heating element in the cleaning machine is decreased, so that the temperature of the air outlet of the heating element decreases, and the power of the motor in the cleaning machine is decreased, so that the air speed of the blowing port decreases. The embodiment of the present application does not limit this.

[0071] Through the above description of the technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present application, the cleaning machine comprises a main body, a motor, a humidity sensor, an air inlet and a blowing port. The humidity sensor is used to detect the humidity of the cleaning surface. In the case that the cleaning machine is in the drying mode, it is detected whether the cleaning machine is in a moving state. If the cleaning machine is in a moving state, the humidity detected by the humidity sensor is obtained, and the power of the heating element and the power of the motor in the cleaning machine are adjusted according to the humidity.

[0072] By adjusting the power of the heating element and the power of the motor in the cleaning machine according to the humidity detected by the humidity sensor, the drying temperature can be adjusted according to the actual working condition, the drying efficiency is improved, and the object to be dried is not damaged, thereby having better universality.

[0073] In addition, in order to provide personalized settings for users and enhance user experience, as shown in Figure 3 The embodiment of the present application provides another embodiment of the cleaning machine drying method, which is applied to a cleaning machine (such as a carpet cleaning machine), and can specifically include the following steps:

[0074] S301, in the case that the cleaning machine is in a drying mode, detecting whether there is a temperature control mode set by a user in the cleaning machine, wherein the temperature control mode set by the user is determined and sent to the cleaning machine for storage.

[0075] In the embodiments of the present application, two adjustment modes are provided: a sensor adjustment mode and a user adjustment mode. In the user adjustment mode, the user actively controls the temperature, so that the user can select a constant temperature mode or an automatic adjustment mode on a terminal (such as a mobile phone) APP or on a cleaning machine. The constant temperature mode allows the user to set a corresponding heating temperature according to the properties of the object to be dried (such as a carpet), and at this time the MCU adjusts the temperature of the air outlet of the heating element to the heating temperature set by the user according to the temperature sensor.

[0076] When the user selects the automatic adjustment mode, the user only needs to set the maximum temperature upper limit Tmax_usr, and the user can also select the program default Tmax. All settings have a memory function. Therefore, the terminal (or the cleaning machine) can determine the temperature control mode (constant temperature mode or automatic adjustment mode) set by the user and the corresponding temperature (heating temperature, Tmax_usr, or Tmax) of the temperature control mode, and send it to the cleaning machine for storage. Here, the priority of the user adjustment mode is higher than that of the sensor adjustment mode.

[0077] Based on this, in the actual use process of the cleaning machine, the user can choose to set the cleaning machine to a drying mode, for example, the user sets the carpet cleaning machine to a drying mode. In the case that the cleaning machine is in the drying mode, first, it is detected whether there is a temperature control mode set by the user locally, which means whether the user has set a corresponding temperature control mode, so as to determine whether to execute the user adjustment mode or the sensor adjustment mode according to the detection result.

[0078] For example, in the actual use process of the carpet cleaning machine, the user can choose to set the carpet cleaning machine to a drying mode, so as to dry the carpet. In the case that the carpet cleaning machine is in the drying mode, first, it is detected whether there is a temperature control mode set by the user locally, which means whether the user has set a corresponding temperature control mode, so as to determine whether to execute the user adjustment mode or the sensor adjustment mode according to the detection result.

[0079] S302, if not, determine the sensor adjustment mode corresponding to the cleaning machine, and detect whether the cleaning machine is in a motion state.

[0080] S303, if the cleaning machine is in a motion state, obtain the humidity detected by the humidity sensor.

[0081] S304, adjust the power of the heating element and the power of the motor according to the humidity.

[0082] In the embodiment of the present application, if the user set temperature control mode does not exist locally in the cleaning machine, the sensor adjustment mode is entered at this time, which can be considered as the default adjustment mode of the program, and the user does not participate in temperature control, and the sensor is used for temperature control, so that the sensor adjustment mode corresponding to the cleaning machine can be determined, and whether the cleaning machine is in a motion state is detected through the above motion detection system.

[0083] If the cleaning machine is in a motion state, the humidity of the cleaning surface at the air inlet detected by the humidity sensor can be obtained at this time. For the humidity of the cleaning surface at the air outlet detected by the humidity sensor, the power of the heating element and the power of the motor in the cleaning machine can be adjusted according to the humidity.

[0084] In addition, in the embodiment of the present application, if the user set temperature control mode exists locally in the cleaning machine, it is considered that the user participates in temperature control, and at this time, it is further detected whether the temperature control mode is a constant temperature mode, if the temperature control mode is a constant temperature mode, the user adjustment mode corresponding to the cleaning machine is determined, the heating temperature corresponding to the constant temperature mode is obtained, and the power of the heating element in the cleaning machine is adjusted to make the temperature of the air outlet of the heating element reach the heating temperature, so as to maintain constant temperature.

[0085] For example, in the embodiment of the present application, if the user set temperature control mode exists locally in the carpet cleaning machine, it is considered that the user participates in temperature control, and at this time, it is further detected whether the temperature control mode is a constant temperature mode, if the temperature control mode is a constant temperature mode, the user adjustment mode corresponding to the carpet cleaning machine is determined, the heating temperature corresponding to the constant temperature mode is obtained, and the power of the heating element in the carpet cleaning machine is adjusted to make the temperature of the air outlet of the heating element reach the heating temperature, so as to maintain constant temperature.

[0086] If the temperature control mode is an automatic adjustment mode, the user adjustment mode corresponding to the cleaning machine is determined, and whether the cleaning machine is in a motion state is detected through the above motion detection system. If the cleaning machine is in a motion state, the humidity of the cleaning surface at the air inlet detected by the humidity sensor can be obtained at this time. For the humidity of the cleaning surface at the air outlet detected by the humidity sensor, the power of the heating element and the power of the motor in the cleaning machine can be adjusted according to the humidity.

[0087] For example, if the temperature control mode is an automatic adjustment mode, the user adjustment mode corresponding to the cleaning machine is determined, and the sensor adjustment mode is similar, that is, whether the carpet cleaning machine is in a motion state is detected through the above motion detection system. If the carpet cleaning machine is in a motion state, the humidity of the carpet cleaning surface at the air inlet detected by the humidity sensor can be obtained at this time. For the humidity of the carpet cleaning surface at the air outlet detected by the humidity sensor, the power of the heating element and the power of the motor in the carpet cleaning machine can be adjusted according to the humidity.

[0088] In addition, in the embodiment of the present application, the power of the heating element and the power of the motor in the cleaning machine positively change with the humidity, and the power of the heating element and the power of the motor in the cleaning machine can be adjusted in the following manner:

[0089] If the humidity increases, the first power of the heating element in the cleaning machine corresponding to the humidity is determined, the power of the heating element in the cleaning machine is increased to the first power, the second power of the motor in the cleaning machine corresponding to the humidity is determined, and the power of the motor in the cleaning machine is increased to the second power.

[0090] For example, if the humidity increases, it indicates that the humidity of the carpet increases, the power of the heating element in the carpet cleaning machine positively changes with the humidity, and based on this, the first power of the heating element in the carpet cleaning machine corresponding to the humidity can be determined, so that the power of the heating element in the carpet cleaning machine is increased to the first power.

[0091] Similarly, the power of the motor in the carpet cleaning machine positively changes with the humidity, and based on this, the second power of the motor in the carpet cleaning machine corresponding to the humidity can be determined, so that the power of the motor in the carpet cleaning machine is increased to the second power. In this way, as the humidity increases, it indicates that the humidity of the carpet increases, and at this time, the power of the heating element and the power of the motor in the carpet cleaning machine can be increased.

[0092] In the embodiment of the present application, in order to protect the object to be dried from damage, such as burning the carpet, a heating upper limit temperature is set during the process of increasing the power of the heating element in the cleaning machine, to ensure that the temperature of the air outlet of the heating element in the cleaning machine cannot exceed the heating upper limit temperature. Based on this, the power of the heating element in the cleaning machine is increased in the following manner in the embodiment of the present application:

[0093] The heating upper limit temperature and the current temperature of the air outlet of the heating element in the cleaning machine are obtained, and it is determined whether the current temperature is less than the heating upper limit temperature. If the current temperature is less than the heating upper limit temperature, the power of the heating element in the cleaning machine is increased to the first power. During the process of increasing the power of the heating element in the cleaning machine, if the temperature of the air outlet of the heating element in the cleaning machine is equal to the heating upper limit temperature, the increase is stopped, so that the temperature of the air outlet of the heating element in the cleaning machine cannot exceed the heating upper limit temperature.

[0094] For example, in this embodiment of the invention, the upper heating limit temperature Tmax of the air outlet of the heating element in the carpet cleaning machine and the current temperature T are obtained, and it is determined whether the current temperature T is less than the upper heating limit temperature Tmax. If the current temperature T is less than the upper heating limit temperature Tmax, the power of the heating element in the carpet cleaning machine is increased to a first power; otherwise, the power of the heating element in the cleaning machine is no longer increased. Specifically, during the process of increasing the power of the heating element in the carpet cleaning machine, if the temperature of the air outlet of the heating element in the carpet cleaning machine is equal to the upper heating limit temperature Tmax, the increase is stopped, thus ensuring that the temperature of the air outlet of the heating element in the cleaning machine does not exceed the upper heating limit temperature Tmax.

[0095] It should be noted that the above-mentioned upper heating limit temperature can be the program default upper heating limit temperature Tmax under the sensor adjustment mode, or it can be the upper heating limit temperature Tmax_usr under the user adjustment mode, or the system default upper heating limit temperature Tmax selected by the user under the user adjustment mode. This embodiment of the invention does not limit this.

[0096] If the humidity decreases, determine the third power of the heating element in the cleaning machine corresponding to the humidity, and reduce the power of the heating element in the cleaning machine to the third power; determine the fourth power of the motor in the cleaning machine corresponding to the humidity, and reduce the power of the motor in the cleaning machine to the fourth power.

[0097] For example, if the humidity decreases, it means that the carpet humidity decreases. The power of the heating element in the carpet cleaning machine changes positively with the humidity. Based on this, the third power of the heating element in the carpet cleaning machine corresponding to the humidity can be determined, and the power of the heating element in the carpet cleaning machine can be reduced to the third power.

[0098] Similarly, the power of the motor in a carpet cleaning machine changes positively with humidity. Based on this, we can determine the fourth power of the motor in the carpet cleaning machine corresponding to humidity, and thus reduce the power of the motor in the carpet cleaning machine to the fourth power. As humidity decreases, it indicates that the humidity of the carpet decreases, at which point we can reduce the power of the heating element and the motor in the carpet cleaning machine.

[0099] Based on the above description of the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of the present invention, two adjustment methods are provided in the embodiments of the present invention: sensor adjustment method and user adjustment method. In the user adjustment method, the user actively controls the temperature, and in the sensor adjustment method, the sensor actively controls the temperature. This allows users to make personalized settings, enhances the user experience, and adjusts the power of the heating element and the motor in the washing machine according to the humidity. This makes the drying temperature adjusted according to the actual working conditions, improves the drying efficiency, avoids damage to the items to be dried, and thus has better versatility.

[0100] In addition, in order to effectively avoid the damage of the to-be-dried object caused by over-temperature heating, the noise of the whole machine is improved, such as Figure 4 As shown in FIG. 6, which is an implementation flow diagram of another cleaning machine drying method provided by the embodiment of the present application, the method is applied to a cleaning machine (for example, a carpet cleaning machine), and can specifically include the following steps:

[0101] S401, if the cleaning machine is in a stationary state, reducing the power of the heating element in the cleaning machine to reduce the temperature of the air outlet of the heating element.

[0102] S402, determining the target power corresponding to the motor in the cleaning machine, and controlling the motor in the cleaning machine to operate at the target power to increase the air speed of the air outlet.

[0103] In the embodiment of the present application, for a cleaning machine, for example, a carpet cleaning machine, generally provided with a drying function, in the case that the user wants to use the drying function of the cleaning machine, the user can choose to set the cleaning machine to a drying mode, for example, the user sets the carpet cleaning machine to a drying mode.

[0104] In the case that the cleaning machine is in the drying mode, whether the cleaning machine is in a motion state can be detected by the above-mentioned motion detection system. For example, in the case that the carpet cleaning machine is in the drying mode, whether the carpet cleaning machine is in a motion state can be detected by the above-mentioned motion detection system.

[0105] In the embodiment of the present application, for a cleaning machine, if the cleaning machine is not in a motion state, that is, the cleaning machine is in a stationary state, at this time, in order to avoid the damage of the to-be-dried object caused by over-temperature heating, the power of the heating element in the cleaning machine is reduced to reduce the temperature of the air outlet of the heating element.

[0106] Correspondingly, the target power corresponding to the motor in the cleaning machine is determined, where the target power is a relatively large power, so that the motor in the cleaning machine is controlled to operate at the target power to increase the air speed of the air outlet, so that the damage of the to-be-dried object caused by over-temperature heating can be avoided.

[0107] It should be noted that the stationary state can be understood as that the cleaning machine is not moved. For example, during the process that the user pushes or pulls the carpet cleaning machine to a certain position and stops, the carpet cleaning machine is in a stationary state, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit this.

[0108] For example, for a carpet cleaning machine, if the carpet cleaning machine is not in a motion state, it means that the carpet cleaning machine is in a stationary state, at this time, in order to avoid the damage of the carpet caused by over-temperature heating, the power of the heating element in the carpet cleaning machine is reduced to reduce the temperature of the air outlet of the heating element.

[0109] Meanwhile, the target power corresponding to the motor in the carpet cleaning machine can be determined, and the target power is a relatively large power, so that the motor in the carpet cleaning machine can be controlled to operate at the target power, so as to increase the air speed of the air outlet. In this way, the carpet can be prevented from being damaged due to overheating.

[0110] S403, the stay duration of the cleaning machine in the static state is counted, and it is determined whether the stay duration exceeds a preset duration threshold.

[0111] S404, if the stay duration exceeds the preset duration threshold, the heating element in the cleaning machine is turned off, and the target power of the motor is reduced.

[0112] In the embodiment of the present application, in order to improve the noise of the cleaning machine, an overtime mechanism is provided, based on which, the stay duration of the cleaning machine in the static state can be counted, and it is determined whether the stay duration exceeds a preset duration threshold. If the stay duration exceeds the preset duration threshold, the heating element in the cleaning machine is turned off, and the target power of the motor in the cleaning machine is reduced. Here, the heating element in the cleaning machine is turned off, which can further prevent the carpet from being damaged due to overheating. In addition, the target power of the motor in the cleaning machine is reduced, which can improve the noise of the cleaning machine.

[0113] For example, in the embodiment of the present application, the stay duration t1 of the carpet cleaning machine in the static state is counted, and it is determined whether the stay duration t1 exceeds a preset duration threshold t. If the stay duration t1 exceeds the preset duration threshold t, the heating element in the carpet cleaning machine is turned off, which can further prevent the carpet from being damaged due to overheating. In addition, the target power of the motor in the cleaning machine is reduced, which can improve the noise of the cleaning machine. In this way, in the sensor adjustment mode or the automatic adjustment mode set in the user adjustment mode, the carpet cleaning machine can have better drying efficiency, while the carpet can be protected to the greatest extent to prevent overheating and damage, and the noise of the cleaning machine can be improved.

[0114] Through the above description of the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present application, if the cleaning machine is in the static state, the power of the heating element in the cleaning machine is reduced to reduce the temperature of the air outlet of the heating element, the target power corresponding to the motor in the cleaning machine is determined, and the motor in the cleaning machine is controlled to operate at the target power to increase the air speed of the air outlet. The stay duration of the cleaning machine in the static state is counted, and it is determined whether the stay duration exceeds a preset duration threshold. If the stay duration exceeds the preset duration threshold, the heating element in the cleaning machine is turned off, and the target power of the motor is reduced. In this way, the carpet can be protected to the greatest extent to prevent overheating and damage, and the noise of the cleaning machine can be improved.
