Detailed Implementation Methods

[0057] The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other.

[0058] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and drawings of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence.

[0059] According to one aspect of the embodiments of this application, a cleaning device is provided. Optionally, the cleaning device may be a floor scrubbing robot, a sweeping and mopping robot, or other devices with cleaning functions. Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of an optional cleaning device according to an embodiment of this application, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the cleaning device may include:

[0060] Cleaning part 11;

[0061] Waste liquid tank 12, which includes a first opening 13 and a filter component 14 installed on the first opening 13;

[0062] The first water pump 15 is connected to the first opening 13 through the first pipe;

[0063] The second pipe is located between the first water pump 15 and the cleaning component 11;

[0064] The first water pump 15 is used at least to filter the liquid in the sewage tank 12 through the filter element 14 and then transmit it to the cleaning element 11 through the first pipe and the second pipe.

[0065] The aforementioned cleaning equipment may include a cleaning component 11. During operation, the cleaning component 11 can be controlled to perform area cleaning. Furthermore, the cleaning equipment may also include a wastewater tank 12 and a first water pump 15 corresponding to the wastewater tank 12. The wastewater tank 12 and the cleaning component 11 are connected to a pipeline via the first water pump 15. Optionally, a first opening 13 may be provided on the wastewater tank. The first opening 13 may be located at the bottom, side, or other position of the wastewater tank 12. A filter component 14 may be installed on the first opening 13. The first opening 13 and the first water pump 15 can be connected via a first pipeline. A second pipeline may be provided between the first water pump 15 and the cleaning component 11. For example, the second pipeline may be connected to a distributor of the cleaning equipment, which can spray liquid from the second pipeline onto the cleaning component 11.

[0066] The cleaning component 11 described above can be a part used for area cleaning, and may include, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: a roller brush (also called a floor brush), a mop, etc., and its shape can be round, square, etc. The cleaning component 11 can be a rotatable structure. The waste liquid tank 12 can be used to store liquid drawn in by the negative pressure generator of the cleaning equipment, such as used liquid containing detergent or other liquids (e.g., sewage). The filter component 14 can be installed inside the waste liquid tank 12. The first water pump 15 can be a mechanical component that transports or pressurizes liquid, and can transport liquid according to a certain liquid volume.

[0067] During the operation of the cleaning equipment, the liquid in the waste tank 12 can be filtered through the filter element 14 by starting the first water pump 15 and then transported to the cleaning component 11 via the first pipe and the second pipe. After starting, the first water pump 15 generates suction by adjusting the pressure in the first pipe, drawing the liquid from the waste tank 12 into the first pipe through the first opening 13. Since the filter element 14 is installed on the first opening 13, the liquid is first filtered by the filter element 14. The filtered liquid then passes through the first pipe to the first water pump 15, which then transports the liquid to the cleaning component 11 via the second pipe. The transmission speed and time of the liquid from the first water pump 15 to the cleaning component 11 can be predetermined. For example, it can be a uniform transmission speed during the time the cleaning component 11 performs its cleaning task, or a fixed amount of liquid can be transmitted to the cleaning component within a fixed time.

[0068] Taking a floor scrubber as an example, the floor scrubber may include a floor brush and a wastewater tank. An outlet is added inside the wastewater tank to discharge filtered water. A filter element is added directly above the outlet, and a wastewater tank pump (i.e., the first pump 15) is added to send the filtered water to the floor brush.

[0069] The cleaning equipment provided in this embodiment, by setting a filter component in the waste liquid tank, can increase the endurance of the liquid storage component while reducing the volume of the liquid storage component and the body, thus reducing the weight of the body. At the same time, the recovered liquid can be reused after multi-stage filtration, reducing resource waste. This solves the problem of poor flexibility of the cleaning equipment caused by the excessive size of the cleaning equipment in the related technology that increases the endurance of the liquid storage component by increasing its capacity, thereby improving the flexibility of the cleaning equipment.

[0070] In one exemplary embodiment, the cleaning device further includes:

[0071] Liquid storage component 21, liquid storage component 21 includes a second opening;

[0072] The second water pump 22 is connected to the second opening via a third pipe, and a fourth pipe is provided between the second water pump 22 and the cleaning component 11.

[0073] like Figure 2 As shown, the liquid storage unit 21 can be used to store liquid. The liquid storage unit 21 can be a clean water tank, and the stored liquid can be clean water or clean water with added detergent, etc. A second opening can be provided on the liquid storage unit 21. The second opening can be located at the bottom of the liquid storage unit 21, on the side of the liquid storage unit 21, or at other locations on the liquid storage unit 21. The liquid in the liquid storage unit 21 can be transferred to the cleaning unit 11 by a water pump corresponding to the liquid storage unit 21. The water pump corresponding to the liquid storage unit 21 and the water pump corresponding to the waste liquid tank 12 can be the same water pump or different water pumps.

[0074] The liquid in the storage container 21 can be transferred to the cleaning component 11 by a second water pump 22, which is different from the first water pump 15. Here, the second water pump 22 can be connected to the second opening of the storage container through a third pipe. A fourth pipe is provided between the second water pump 22 and the cleaning component 11. For example, the fourth pipe can be connected to the liquid distributor of the cleaning equipment, and the liquid distributor can spray the liquid transferred from the fourth pipe onto the cleaning component 11.

[0075] By using this optional embodiment, the flexibility of supplying liquid to the cleaning component can be improved by controlling the liquid storage component and the waste liquid tank with different water pumps.

[0076] In one exemplary embodiment, the cleaning device described above further includes at least one of the following:

[0077] The first liquid level detection component is installed on the liquid storage component 21;

[0078] The first flow detection component is installed on the third pipe.

[0079] The first liquid level detection component can be a detection component used to detect the liquid level in the storage container 21. It can be a liquid level sensor, such as a photoelectric liquid level sensor. The photoelectric liquid level sensor can use the principle of optical reflection. The transmitter of the sensor emits detection light into the storage container 21 (sewage tank 12 is similar), and the receiver can receive the detection light passing through the storage container 21. Based on the relationship between the optical characteristics of the received detection light and the emitted detection light, it can be determined whether the liquid has reached the position through which the emitted detection light passes, and thus determine the liquid level. In order to improve the rationality of water pump control and avoid resource waste, the first liquid level detection component can be set at a lower position on the storage container 21.

[0080] The first flow detection component can be installed in the third (or fourth) pipe and is used to detect the flow rate of liquid. The first flow detection component can be a Hall effect flow meter, a photoelectric flow meter, etc. When the second water pump 22 starts, the liquid passes through the flow meter, and the flow meter can output corresponding pulse data according to the number of impeller rotations, thereby performing flow detection.

[0081] By using this embodiment, the flexibility of liquid level detection can be improved by setting at least one of a liquid level detection component and a flow detection component to detect the liquid level in the liquid storage device.

[0082] In one exemplary embodiment, the cleaning device described above further includes at least one of the following:

[0083] The second liquid level detection component is installed on the waste liquid tank 12;

[0084] The second flow detection component is installed on the first pipe.

[0085] The second liquid level detection component can be used to detect the liquid level in the wastewater tank 12. It can be a liquid level sensor of the same type as the first liquid level detection component (which can be located near the highest liquid level line of the wastewater tank 12), or it can be a conductor installed inside the wastewater tank 12. This conductor can be located at the top of the wastewater tank 12. By detecting whether the conductor is conductive, the amount of liquid in the wastewater tank 12 can be determined. The second flow rate detection component can be used to detect the flow rate of the liquid passing through the first pipe. It can be a flow meter of the same type as the first flow rate detection component, and the second flow rate detection component can be installed inside the first pipe.

[0086] By using this embodiment, the flexibility of liquid level detection can be improved by setting at least one of a liquid level detection component and a flow rate detection component to detect the liquid level in the wastewater tank.

[0087] In one exemplary embodiment, the cleaning device further includes:

[0088] Liquid storage component 21, liquid storage component 21 includes a third opening;

[0089] The third water pump 31 is connected to the third opening of the liquid storage device 21 through the fifth pipe and to the first opening 13 through the sixth pipe.

[0090] The third water pump is used at least to transfer the liquid in the storage container to the sludge tank via the fifth and sixth pipes in order to clean the filter components.

[0091] In this embodiment, the cleaning device may further include a liquid storage component 21, which is similar to that in the previous embodiment and will not be described in detail here. Figure 3 As shown, a third opening (which may be the same as or different from the aforementioned second opening) may be provided on the liquid storage component 21. This third opening may be located at the bottom of the liquid storage component 21, on the side of the liquid storage component 21, or at other locations on the liquid storage component 21. Correspondingly, the liquid storage component 21 can be connected to a third water pump 31 (different from the first water pump 15 and the second water pump 22). Figure 3 A first water pump 15 (not shown) controls the transfer of liquid in the storage container 21 to the waste liquid tank 12 through the third opening. Here, the third water pump 31 can be connected to the third opening of the storage container through a fifth pipe, and a sixth pipe is provided between the third water pump 31 and the first opening 13 of the waste liquid tank 12. Through the third water pump 31, the liquid in the storage container 21 can be transferred to the waste liquid tank 12 through the fifth and sixth pipes to clean the filter element 14, thereby achieving the rinsing and cleaning of the filter element 14 in the waste liquid tank 12.

[0092] In this embodiment, by setting a water pump to draw liquid from the liquid storage container to clean the filter component, the utilization rate of the filter component can be improved and the endurance of the liquid storage container can be increased.

[0093] In one exemplary embodiment, the cleaning device further includes:

[0094] The liquid storage device 21 includes a second opening, and the first water pump 15 is also connected to the second opening of the liquid storage device 21 through a seventh pipe 41.

[0095] In this embodiment, the cleaning device may further include a liquid storage component 21 and a second opening. The liquid storage component 21 and the second opening are similar to those in the previous embodiments and will not be described in detail here. Optionally, the liquid storage component 21 may also supply liquid to the cleaning component 11 via a first water pump 15. Correspondingly, as... Figure 4 As shown, the first water pump 15 can also be connected to the second opening of the liquid storage container 21 through the seventh pipe 41, so as to directly control the liquid in the liquid storage container 21 and the filtered liquid in the sludge tank 12 to be transferred to the cleaning component 11 through the first water pump 15: the liquid in the liquid storage container 21 is transferred to the cleaning component 11 through the seventh pipe 41 and the second pipe.

[0096] In this embodiment, the same water pump is used to simultaneously control the acquisition of liquid from the storage unit and the waste liquid tank, and transfer it to the cleaning unit. The liquid can be recycled without additional control logic, which can reduce production costs.

[0097] In one exemplary embodiment, the cleaning device further includes:

[0098] The first connecting valve is located at the connection between the first water pump 15 and the first pipeline;

[0099] The second connecting valve is located at the connection between the first water pump 15 and the seventh pipe 41.

[0100] For the scenario described above where the first water pump 15 simultaneously controls the transfer of liquid in the liquid storage unit 21 and the sludge tank 12, two connecting valves can be further included at the first water pump 15. The first connecting valve can be located at the connection between the first water pump 15 and the first pipeline, and the second connecting valve can be located at the connection between the first water pump 15 and the seventh pipeline 41. By closing and opening the connecting valves, the water pump is controlled to obtain liquid from either the sludge tank 12 or the liquid storage unit 21.

[0101] Specifically, when the first connecting valve is closed and the second connecting valve is opened, the liquid transmission channels of the seventh pipe 30, the first water pump 15, and the second pipe 16 are open, while the liquid transmission channel between the first water pump 15 and the first pipe is blocked. This allows the liquid in the storage container 21 to be transmitted to the cleaning component 11 via the seventh pipe 30, the second connecting valve, and the second pipe. When the first connecting valve is opened and the second connecting valve is closed, the liquid transmission channels of the first pipe, the first water pump 15, and the second pipe are open, while the liquid transmission channel between the first water pump 15 and the seventh pipe 30 is blocked. This allows the liquid in the waste tank 12 to be filtered by the filter component 14 and then transmitted to the cleaning component 11 via the first pipe, the first connecting valve, and the second pipe.

[0102] In this embodiment, by controlling the water pump to obtain liquid from the sludge tank or storage device through the connecting valve, the flexibility of the cleaning equipment control can be improved, thereby reducing production costs.

[0103] In one exemplary embodiment, the filter element 14 can be a columnar structure (e.g., a cylindrical structure), and the first opening 13 communicates with the interior of the filter element 14. With this structure, the filtered liquid can be conveniently transferred to the cleaning element 11 through the first opening 13. Simultaneously, when the liquid in the storage element 21 is reverse-transferred to the first opening 13, the reverse-transferred liquid can flush away impurities adsorbed on the filter screen of the filter element 14, reducing or eliminating clogging of the filter element.

[0104] In this embodiment, by setting the filter component as a columnar structure and connecting the first opening 13 to the interior of the filter component 14, liquid transfer and cleaning of the filter component can be facilitated.

[0105] In one exemplary embodiment, the filter element 14 includes a plurality of filter layers, which include at least one of the following: a synthetic chemical fiber cotton layer, an activated carbon layer, an ultrafiltration membrane layer, and a meltblown fabric layer.

[0106] To improve the filtration effect of the filter element 14, the filter element 14 may include multiple filter layers, which may include at least one of the following: a layer of synthetic chemical fiber cotton (also known as PP cotton, doll cotton, hollow cotton, filling cotton, etc.), an activated carbon layer, an ultrafiltration membrane layer, a meltblown fabric layer, etc. The filter element 14 can filter out obvious impurities such as organic matter, heavy metals, and colloids contained in the liquid in the wastewater tank 12 through physical and chemical adsorption, and can also filter out impurities such as ions and odors in the water. Multiple filter layers can enhance the filtration effect of the liquid in the wastewater tank 12.

[0107] In this embodiment, by setting a filter component with multiple filter layers, the ability of the filter component to filter liquid can be improved, thereby enhancing the cleaning effect of the cleaning equipment.

[0108] In one exemplary embodiment, the filter element 14 can be a removable filter cartridge. Users can directly remove the filter element 14 for cleaning. For filter cartridges that have reached the end of their service life or are damaged, they can be removed and replaced with new filter cartridges, thereby increasing the service life and cleaning effect of the cleaning equipment.

[0109] In this embodiment, by setting a removable filter element, the filter components can be easily cleaned and replaced, which improves the cleaning effect of the cleaning equipment and extends its service life.

[0110] According to another aspect of the embodiments of this application, a method for controlling the operation of a cleaning device is provided, which can be applied to any of the cleaning devices described in the foregoing embodiments. Optionally, in this embodiment, the above-mentioned method for controlling the operation of a cleaning device can be applied to, for example... Figure 5 The hardware environment shown consists of cleaning equipment 502, base station 504, and cloud platform 506. For example... Figure 5 As shown, the cleaning device 502 can connect to the base station 504 and / or the cloud platform 506 (e.g., a voice cloud platform) via a network to enable interaction between the cleaning device 502 and the base station 504 and / or the cloud platform 506.

[0111] The aforementioned network may include, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: wired network, wireless network. The aforementioned wired network may include, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: wide area network (WAN), metropolitan area network (MAN), local area network (LAN). The aforementioned wireless network may include, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity), Bluetooth, infrared. The network used by the cleaning device 502 to communicate with the base station 504 and / or the cloud platform 506 may be the same as or different from the network used by the base station 504 to communicate with the cloud platform 506. The cleaning device 502 may include, but is not limited to: a floor cleaning robot, a sweeping and mopping robot, or other robots with cleaning functions.

[0112] The operation control method for the cleaning equipment in this embodiment can be executed individually by the cleaning equipment 502, the base station 504, or the cloud platform 506, or it can be executed jointly by at least two of the cleaning equipment 502, the base station 504, and the cloud platform 506. Alternatively, the cleaning equipment 502 or the base station 504 can execute the operation control method for the cleaning equipment in this embodiment by a client installed on it.

[0113] Taking the cleaning equipment 502 as an example to execute the operation control method of the cleaning equipment in this embodiment, Figure 6 This is a flowchart illustrating an optional operation control method for cleaning equipment according to an embodiment of this application, as shown below. Figure 6 As shown, the process of this method may include the following steps:

[0114] Step S602: During the operation of the cleaning equipment, the operation of the cleaning component of the cleaning equipment is controlled. The cleaning equipment includes a cleaning component, a waste liquid tank, and a first water pump. The first water pump is connected to the first opening of the waste liquid tank through a first pipe. The waste liquid tank includes a filter component installed on the first opening. A second pipe is provided between the first water pump and the cleaning component.

[0115] The operation control method for the cleaning equipment in this embodiment can be applied to scenarios where cleaning equipment performs area cleaning tasks. The cleaning equipment can be a floor scrubbing robot, a sweeping and mopping robot, or other devices with cleaning functions. The cleaning equipment can perform cleaning tasks automatically, or it can be controlled by a user via handheld devices, or it can be performed in other ways; this embodiment does not limit the specific methods used.

[0116] In this embodiment, the cleaning equipment may include a cleaning component, the operation of which can be controlled during the operation of the cleaning equipment. Furthermore, the cleaning equipment may also include a wastewater tank and a first water pump corresponding to the wastewater tank. The wastewater tank and the cleaning component are connected via the first water pump and a pipeline. Optionally, the wastewater tank may have a first opening, which may be located at the bottom, side, or other location of the storage component. A filter component, such as a filter cartridge, may be installed on the first opening. The first opening and the first water pump can be connected via a first pipeline. A second pipeline may be provided between the first water pump and the cleaning component; for example, the second pipeline may connect to a distributor of the cleaning equipment, which can spray liquid onto the cleaning component.

[0117] The aforementioned cleaning components can be used for area cleaning and may include, but are not limited to, at least one of the following: roller brush (also known as floor brush), mop, etc., and their shape may be round, square, etc. The cleaning components may be rotatable. The wastewater tank can be used to store liquid drawn in by the negative pressure generator of the cleaning equipment, such as used liquid containing detergent or other liquids (e.g., sewage). The filter component can be located inside the wastewater tank and may be a detachable structure, comprising multiple filter layers, which may include at least one of the following: a synthetic chemical fiber cotton layer (also known as PP cotton, doll cotton, hollow cotton, filling cotton, etc.), an activated carbon layer, an ultrafiltration membrane layer, a meltblown fabric layer, etc. The first water pump can be a mechanical component that transports or pressurizes liquid, and can transport liquid according to a certain liquid volume.

[0118] Taking a floor scrubber as an example, a floor scrubber may include a floor brush and a wastewater tank. An outlet is added inside the wastewater tank to discharge filtered water. A removable and replaceable filter cartridge is added directly above the outlet. The filter cartridge is composed of multi-stage filter materials. At the same time, a wastewater tank pump (i.e., the first pump) is added to pump the filtered water to the floor brush.

[0119] Step S604: Start the first water pump, wherein the started first water pump is used to filter the liquid in the sewage tank through the filter component and then transmit it to the cleaning component through the first pipe and the second pipe.

[0120] In this embodiment, during the operation of the cleaning equipment, the liquid in the waste tank can be filtered through the filter component and then transmitted to the cleaning component via the first pipe and the second pipe by starting the first water pump. The operation of starting the first water pump can be performed when a preset start condition is met. The preset start condition can be a condition related to the liquid level in the waste tank, a condition related to the liquid level in the liquid storage component of the cleaning equipment, or a condition related to the start of the equipment. This embodiment does not limit this.

[0121] Under the condition that the preset start-up conditions are met, the cleaning equipment can start the first water pump. After starting, the first water pump can generate suction by adjusting the pressure in the first pipe, and suck the liquid in the sewage tank into the first pipe through the first opening. Since a filter component is installed on the first opening, the liquid is first filtered by the filter component to obtain liquid. The obtained liquid goes through the first pipe to the first water pump, and the first water pump transmits the liquid to the cleaning component through the second pipe.

[0122] The liquid supplied to the cleaning unit replenishes its fluid, allowing it to continue cleaning the area. The first water pump can control the amount of liquid supplied to the cleaning unit, preventing area contamination due to excessive liquid accumulation on the ground. The delivery speed and time of the first water pump supplying liquid to the cleaning unit can be predetermined; for example, it can deliver liquid at a constant speed during the cleaning task's duration, or it can deliver a fixed amount of liquid to the cleaning unit within a fixed time interval.

[0123] By installing a filter component inside the wastewater tank, the storage unit's operating time can be increased while reducing the size and weight of the storage unit and the main body. At the same time, the recovered liquid can be reused after multi-stage filtration, reducing resource waste.

[0124] Taking floor scrubbers as an example, to reduce the frequency of emptying wastewater and adding clean water during use, existing floor scrubbers often have very large clean water and wastewater tanks. This results in a large and heavy machine, making it tiring to use. To reduce the machine's size, the wastewater collected by the floor scrubber is filtered and reused. This saves water, increases the clean water tank's operating time, reduces the frequency of manual water changes, and also reduces the size and weight of the tank and machine body, making the machine more compact. Furthermore, multi-stage filtration and reuse of the collected wastewater also reduces water waste.

[0125] Through steps S602 to S604, during the operation of the cleaning equipment, the operation of the cleaning component of the cleaning equipment is controlled. The cleaning equipment includes a cleaning component, a waste liquid tank, and a first water pump. The first water pump is connected to a first opening of the waste liquid tank through a first pipe. The waste liquid tank includes a filter component installed on the first opening. A second pipe is provided between the first water pump and the cleaning component. The first water pump is started. After starting, the first water pump is used to filter the liquid in the waste liquid tank through the filter component and then transmit it to the cleaning component through the first pipe and the second pipe. This solves the problem of poor flexibility of the cleaning equipment caused by the excessive size of the cleaning equipment in the related technology of increasing the capacity of the liquid storage component to improve the endurance of the liquid storage component, thereby improving the flexibility of the cleaning equipment.

[0126] In one exemplary embodiment, the cleaning device may further include a liquid storage component, such as a clean water tank, which can be used to store liquids, such as clean water or clean water with added detergent. The liquid in the storage component can be transferred to the cleaning component by a water pump corresponding to the storage component. The water pump corresponding to the storage component and the water pump corresponding to the waste liquid tank can be the same pump or different pumps.

[0127] As an alternative implementation, the liquid in the storage container can be transferred to the cleaning component by controlling a second water pump, which is different from the first water pump. Here, the second water pump can be connected to the second opening of the storage container through a third pipe, and a fourth pipe is provided between the second water pump and the cleaning component. For example, the fourth pipe can be connected to the distributor of the cleaning equipment.

[0128] Correspondingly, before starting the first water pump, the above method also includes:

[0129] S11, the liquid in the storage unit is transferred to the cleaning unit via the third and fourth pipes through the second water pump;

[0130] S12, obtain the target control parameters corresponding to the first water pump, wherein the target control parameters include at least one of the following: a first reference parameter for representing the amount of liquid in the liquid storage device, and a second reference parameter for representing the amount of liquid in the sludge tank;

[0131] S13, based on the target control parameters, determine to start the first water pump.

[0132] The first water pump can be started directly after the cleaning equipment is started, or it can be started when preset start-up conditions are met. These preset start-up conditions can be related to the amount of liquid in the storage container or the amount of liquid in the waste tank. Correspondingly, after starting the cleaning equipment, the second water pump can be started first. The second water pump transfers the liquid in the storage container to the cleaning component through the third and fourth pipes. The transfer speed and time can be the same as or different from the first water pump (considering that the liquid in the waste tank needs to be filtered before transfer, excessively fast transfer speeds can easily damage the filter components). During the cleaning process, the liquid generated by the cleaning component can be promptly recovered into the waste tank through the suction pipe by a negative pressure generator near the cleaning component.

[0133] After the cleaning equipment is started, target control parameters corresponding to the first water pump can be acquired in real time. These target control parameters include, but are not limited to, at least one of the following: the liquid volume in the storage container and the liquid volume in the waste tank. The liquid volume in the storage container can be used as a first reference parameter, and the liquid volume in the waste tank can be used as a second reference parameter. Based on the target control parameters, the first water pump is started when the preset start-up conditions are met.

[0134] Determining that the preset start-up conditions are met can be achieved by the target control parameter reaching a target parameter threshold. For example, for a first reference parameter, a first parameter threshold can be set. When the first reference parameter is less than the first parameter threshold, it can be determined that the liquid volume in the storage container is low, and the water pump is switched to replenish the cleaning component by filtering the liquid in the waste tank. For a second reference parameter, a second parameter threshold can be set. When the second reference parameter is greater than or equal to the second parameter threshold, it can be determined that the liquid volume in the waste tank is high, and the water pump is switched to replenish the cleaning component by filtering the liquid in the waste tank.

[0135] This embodiment controls the water pump to start based on the amount of liquid in the storage container and / or the amount of liquid in the sludge tank, thereby improving the flexibility of water pump control.

[0136] In one exemplary embodiment, obtaining the target control parameters corresponding to the first water pump includes at least one of the following:

[0137] S21, the liquid level in the liquid storage container is detected by the liquid level detection component on the liquid storage container to obtain the first liquid level, wherein the first reference parameter includes the first liquid level;

[0138] S22, the flow rate of liquid passing through the third pipe is detected by the flow detection component in the third pipe to obtain the first flow parameter, wherein the first reference parameter includes the first flow parameter;

[0139] S23, the liquid level in the sewage tank is detected by the liquid level detection component on the sewage tank to obtain the second liquid level, wherein the second reference parameter includes the second liquid level.

[0140] In this embodiment, if the target control parameter includes a first reference parameter, the first reference parameter may include at least one of the following parameters: a parameter obtained by detecting the liquid level in the reservoir, and a parameter obtained by detecting the flow rate of liquid flowing out of the reservoir. If the target control parameter includes a second reference parameter, the second reference parameter may include: a parameter obtained by detecting the liquid level in the reservoir.

[0141] As an optional implementation, the first reference parameter may include the liquid level within the reservoir. A liquid level detection component may be provided on the reservoir; this component can be a detection device for detecting the liquid level. The first liquid level is obtained by detecting the liquid level within the reservoir using the liquid level detection component on the reservoir.

[0142] Optionally, the liquid level detection component can be a liquid level sensor, such as a photoelectric liquid level sensor. A photoelectric liquid level sensor can employ the principle of optical reflection. The sensor's transmitter emits detection light into the liquid storage container (similar to a wastewater tank), and the receiver receives the detection light passing through the storage container. Based on the relationship between the optical characteristics of the received detection light and the emitted detection light, it can be determined whether the liquid has reached the position through which the emitted detection light passes, thus determining the liquid level. To improve the efficiency of pump control and avoid resource waste, the liquid level detection component can be positioned at a lower location on the storage container.

[0143] As an alternative implementation, the first reference parameter may include the liquid flow rate of the liquid flowing out of the storage container. A flow detection component may be installed in the third pipe (or the fourth pipe), and this component can be used to detect the liquid flow rate. The first flow parameter is obtained by detecting the liquid flow rate through the third pipe using the flow detection component in the third pipe. The flow detection component may be a Hall effect flow meter, a photoelectric flow meter, etc. When the second water pump starts, the liquid passes through the flow meter, and the flow meter can output corresponding pulse data based on the number of impeller rotations, thereby performing flow detection.

[0144] As another optional implementation, the second reference parameter may include the liquid level in the waste tank. A liquid level detection component can be installed on the waste tank. The second liquid level is obtained by detecting the liquid level in the storage container using the liquid level detection component on the waste tank. Optionally, the liquid level detection component can be a liquid level sensor (which may be located near the highest liquid level line of the waste tank), or it can be a conductor installed inside the waste tank, which may be located at the top of the waste tank. By detecting whether the conductor is conductive, the amount of waste liquid in the waste tank can be determined.

[0145] This embodiment improves the rationality of water pump switching control by detecting the liquid level in the storage container, the flow rate of the liquid flowing out of the storage container, and the liquid level in the waste liquid tank, and determining whether to switch the water pump based on the detection results.

[0146] In one exemplary embodiment, determining to start the first water pump based on target control parameters includes at least one of the following:

[0147] S31, if the first liquid level is less than or equal to the first liquid level threshold, determine to start the first water pump;

[0148] S32, if the first flow parameter is less than or equal to the first flow parameter threshold, determine to start the first water pump;

[0149] S33, if the second liquid level is greater than or equal to the second liquid level threshold, determine to start the first water pump.

[0150] For the first liquid level, the first flow rate parameter, and the second liquid level, corresponding thresholds can be set respectively. When the detected real-time parameter value reaches the threshold, the first water pump is triggered to start.

[0151] Optionally, if the detected first liquid level is less than or equal to the first liquid level threshold, it indicates that a significant amount of liquid has been used in the storage device, and a certain amount of used and recycled liquid has been collected in the corresponding waste liquid tank. In this case, it can be determined to turn on the first water pump to replenish the cleaning device by filtering the liquid in the waste liquid tank.

[0152] Optionally, if the detected first flow parameter is less than or equal to the first flow parameter threshold, it indicates that the remaining liquid in the liquid storage device is low and the corresponding waste liquid tank already contains a certain amount of liquid that has been recovered after use. In this case, it can be determined to turn on the first water pump to replenish the cleaning device by filtering the liquid in the waste liquid tank.

[0153] Optionally, if the detected second liquid level is greater than or equal to the second liquid level threshold, it indicates that there is already a significant amount of recycled liquid in the waste tank. In this case, it can be determined to activate the first water pump to replenish the cleaning components by filtering the liquid in the waste tank. Here, after activating the first water pump, the second water pump can be either activated or deactivated.

[0154] This embodiment allows for the full and rational utilization of the liquid in the waste tank, thereby improving the endurance of the cleaning equipment.

[0155] In one exemplary embodiment, the cleaning device further includes a second water pump and a liquid storage device. The second water pump is connected to a second opening of the liquid storage device via a third pipe, and a fourth pipe is provided between the second water pump and the cleaning device. The second water pump, the liquid storage device, the third pipe, and the fourth pipe are similar to those in the previous embodiments and will not be described in detail here.

[0156] Correspondingly, after starting the first water pump, the above method also includes:

[0157] S41, obtain the third reference parameter corresponding to the waste liquid tank, wherein the third reference parameter is used to represent the liquid volume in the waste liquid tank;

[0158] S42, when the third reference parameter is less than or equal to the target parameter threshold and the liquid level in the liquid storage container is greater than or equal to the third liquid level threshold, the second water pump is started, wherein the started second water pump is used to transfer the liquid in the liquid storage container to the cleaning component via the third pipe and the fourth pipe.

[0159] To easily determine the liquid volume in the wastewater tank, a third reference parameter corresponding to the wastewater tank can be obtained. This third reference parameter represents the liquid volume in the wastewater tank. There can be one or more ways to obtain the third reference parameter. For example, the liquid level in the storage container can be detected by a level detection device installed on the storage container, or the liquid flow rate through the first pipe can be detected by a flow detection device installed on the first pipe. The third reference parameter may include at least one of the following: the liquid level in the storage container, and the liquid flow rate through the first pipe.

[0160] If the third reference parameter is less than or equal to the target parameter threshold, for example, if the liquid level in the storage container is less than or equal to the set liquid level threshold (the corresponding liquid level sensor can be set near the bottom of the cleaning equipment), and the liquid flow rate through the first pipe is less than or equal to the set flow rate threshold, the first water pump can be shut off and an abnormality in the liquid can be indicated, such as a water shortage.

[0161] In this embodiment, the volumes of the liquid storage device and the waste tank can be the same or different. For example, the volume of the liquid storage device can be set to be larger than the volume of the waste tank. In any scenario, after the first water pump is started, the liquid storage device may contain a certain volume of liquid. To improve the endurance of the liquid storage tank, the first and second water pumps can be controlled to be used alternately.

[0162] To facilitate pump switching, when the third reference parameter is less than or equal to the target parameter threshold, the liquid level in the reservoir can be used to determine whether to switch pumps. For example, if the liquid level in the reservoir is greater than or equal to the third level threshold, it indicates that there is a significant amount of liquid remaining, and pump switching can be initiated, starting the second pump. The liquid in the reservoir is used to perform the cleaning task, while new liquid is collected to replenish the waste tank. After starting the second pump, the first pump can be shut off or kept on.

[0163] This embodiment allows for the switching of water pumps based on the amount of liquid in the waste tank and the liquid level in the storage container, thereby improving the endurance of the cleaning equipment.

[0164] In one exemplary embodiment, the method further includes:

[0165] S51, when the third reference parameter is less than or equal to the target parameter threshold and the liquid level in the storage container is less than the third liquid level threshold, an alarm message is issued through the cleaning equipment, wherein the alarm message is used to alarm for liquid abnormality.

[0166] If the third reference parameter is less than or equal to the target parameter threshold, and the liquid level in the storage container is less than the third liquid level threshold, it indicates that the liquid volume in both the waste tank and the storage container is insufficient. There is not enough liquid to continue the cleaning task. An alarm message can be sent to the user by the cleaning equipment to alert them to the liquid abnormality. The liquid abnormality could be due to insufficient liquid volume.

[0167] In this embodiment, when the liquid levels in the waste tank and the storage container are both insufficient, an alarm is triggered by the cleaning equipment. This prevents situations where cleaning is incomplete due to lack of liquid during the cleaning process, thus ensuring the effectiveness of the cleaning task.

[0168] The operation control method of the cleaning equipment in this application embodiment will be explained below with reference to optional examples. In this optional example, the cleaning equipment is a floor scrubber, the cleaning component is a floor brush, the wastewater tank is a sewage tank, the storage component is a clean water tank, the first water pump is a sewage tank pump, the second water pump is a clean water tank pump, and the filter component is a filter element. The positions of the filter element, the sewage tank pump, and the clean water tank pump can be as follows: Figure 7 As shown.

[0169] Combination Figure 7 and Figure 8 The operation control method for the cleaning equipment in this optional example may include the following steps:

[0170] Step S802: The floor scrubber begins operation.

[0171] Step S804: Start the sewage pump.

[0172] When the floor scrubber is working, the two water pumps do not operate simultaneously, but at least one must be running. To prevent residual wastewater in the wastewater tank from preventing wastewater from being drawn into it, the wastewater tank pump can be activated first to replenish water to the floor brush after the machine is turned on.

[0173] Step S806: Repeat the process of alternating operation of the two water pumps.

[0174] When one water pump is turned on, the flow rate can be detected by the corresponding flow sensor. Based on the detected flow rate, it can be determined whether there is water (when the clean water tank pump is turned on, it checks if there is clean water in the tank; when the wastewater tank pump is turned on, it checks if there is wastewater in the tank). If so, the pump continues to operate, and the current flow sensor is used for flow detection. If not, the other pump is started. For example, after detecting that there is no water in the wastewater tank, the wastewater tank pump is turned off, and the clean water tank pump is started to replenish water to the floor brush. This cycle repeats, with the two pumps working alternately.

[0175] In step S808, no water was produced after alternating startup of the water pumps.

[0176] The two water pumps work alternately until both pumps detect insufficient water volume during the alternation.

[0177] Step S810, no water alarm.

[0178] When both the clean water tank and the waste water tank are filled with wastewater, a water shortage alarm will be issued to remind the user to add water.

[0179] This optional example demonstrates how multi-stage filtration of the filter cartridges allows for the partial recycling and reuse of wastewater, reducing the operating pressure on the clean water tank and effectively minimizing its size. This, in turn, reduces the overall size and weight of the unit, making it more compact and lightweight.

[0180] In one exemplary embodiment, since the liquid output from the waste tank is filtered by a filter element, the filter element may become clogged. To extend the service life of the filter element, a water pump can be used to reverse the flow of liquid back to the filter element to flush away the debris clogging it. The liquid reversed by the water pump can be the liquid in the storage container. Correspondingly, the cleaning device may also include a third water pump and a storage container. The third water pump can be connected to a third opening of the storage container via a fifth pipe and to a first opening via a sixth pipe, so that the liquid in the storage container can be reversed to the waste tank via the fifth and sixth pipes. The third opening can be the same as or a different opening from the aforementioned second opening, and the third water pump can be the same as or a different pump from the aforementioned second water pump.

[0181] S61, start the third water pump. The started third water pump is used to transfer the liquid in the storage container to the sludge tank through the fifth and sixth pipes to clean the filter components.

[0182] Optionally, for the joint control of the first and third water pumps, the cleaning of the filter components can be achieved during the cleaning task. For example, if the filter components are clogged, the third water pump can be started and the first water pump can be turned off.

[0183] In one exemplary embodiment, clogging of the filter element can be determined by detecting the liquid level in the sludge tank and the liquid flow rate through the first pipe. Optionally, before starting the third water pump, the method further includes:

[0184] S71, the flow rate of the liquid passing through the first pipe is detected by the flow detection component in the first pipe to obtain the second flow parameter;

[0185] S72, when the second flow parameter is less than or equal to the second flow parameter threshold and the liquid level in the sludge tank is greater than or equal to the fourth liquid level threshold, the third water pump is started and the first water pump is turned off. The started third water pump is used to transfer the liquid in the storage device to the sludge tank through the fifth pipe and the sixth pipe to clean the filter component.

[0186] In this embodiment, a flow detection component can be installed inside the first pipe to detect the flow rate of liquid passing through the first pipe and obtain a third flow parameter. The installation method of the flow detection component is similar to that in the previous embodiments and will not be described again here. In addition, a liquid level detection component can be installed on the waste liquid tank, for example, near the bottom of the waste liquid tank. This liquid level detection component can detect the liquid level in the waste liquid tank and obtain a fourth liquid level.

[0187] When the detected third flow parameter is less than or equal to the third flow parameter threshold, and the liquid level in the sludge tank is greater than or equal to the fourth liquid level threshold, it indicates that the liquid volume in the sludge tank is sufficient, but the amount of filtered liquid is too small. This may be because the filter components in the sludge tank are clogged with debris and cannot adequately filter the liquid. After obtaining this detection result, the cleaning equipment can start the third water pump and turn off the first water pump. The third water pump is used to transfer the liquid in the storage container to the sludge tank through the fifth and sixth pipes to flush and clean the filter components.

[0188] This embodiment automatically flushes the filter element after detecting that it is clogged, which can improve the service life of the filter element.

[0189] In an exemplary embodiment, the cleaning device may further include a liquid storage unit. The meaning of the liquid storage unit is similar to that in the previous embodiments and will not be repeated here. In this embodiment, the same water pump can control the transfer of liquid from the waste tank (after filtration by the filter component) to the cleaning unit, and control the transfer of liquid from the liquid storage unit to the cleaning unit. Correspondingly, the first water pump may also be connected to the second opening of the liquid storage unit via a seventh pipe, and the first water pump, after being started, is also used to transfer liquid from the liquid storage unit to the cleaning unit via the seventh pipe and the second pipe.

[0190] Correspondingly, when the cleaning equipment starts running, the first water pump can be directly controlled to start. After starting, the first water pump can draw liquid from the liquid storage container and the sludge tank and simultaneously transfer it to the cleaning components. Optionally, a third water pump, similar to that in the aforementioned embodiments, can also be provided to clean the filter components.

[0191] This embodiment allows for the simultaneous acquisition of liquid from both the storage unit and the waste liquid tank using a single water pump, which is then transferred to the cleaning unit. This eliminates the need for additional control logic, enabling the recycling of the liquid and reducing production costs.

[0192] In an exemplary embodiment, similar to the foregoing embodiments, the cleaning device may further include a liquid storage unit, and the first water pump is further connected to a second opening of the liquid storage unit via a seventh pipe. Furthermore, a first connecting valve may be provided at the connection between the first water pump and the first pipe, and a second connecting valve may be provided at the connection between the first water pump and the seventh pipe. The connecting valves can control the first water pump to obtain liquid from the liquid storage unit or the wastewater tank. Correspondingly, starting the first water pump includes:

[0193] S81, start the first water pump, open the first connecting valve, and close the second connecting valve, so that the liquid in the sewage tank is filtered through the filter component and then transmitted to the cleaning component through the first pipe, the first connecting valve and the second pipe.

[0194] If liquid needs to be obtained from the sludge tank, the first connecting valve can be opened and the second connecting valve closed. At this time, the liquid transmission channels of the first pipe, the first water pump, and the second pipe are open, while the liquid transmission channel between the first water pump and the seventh pipe is blocked. The liquid in the sludge tank can be filtered through the filter component and then transmitted to the cleaning component through the first pipe, the first connecting valve, and the second pipe.

[0195] If liquid needs to be obtained from the storage unit, the first connecting valve can be closed and the second connecting valve opened. At this time, the liquid transmission channels of the seventh pipe, the first water pump, and the second pipe are open, while the liquid transmission channel between the first water pump and the first pipe is blocked. The liquid in the storage unit can be transmitted to the cleaning unit through the seventh pipe, the second connecting valve, and the second pipe.

[0196] In this embodiment, by controlling the water pump to obtain liquid from the sludge tank or storage device through the connecting valve, the flexibility of the cleaning equipment control can be improved, thereby reducing production costs.

[0197] It should be noted that, in the above embodiments, the steps implemented by the flow detection component of the first pipe can also be implemented by the flow detection component of the first pipe, for example, steps related to detecting the liquid flow rate through the first pipe by the flow detection component of the first pipe; the steps implemented by the flow detection component of the third pipe can also be implemented by the flow detection component of the fourth pipe, for example, steps related to detecting the liquid flow rate through the third pipe by the flow detection component of the third pipe.

[0198] The operation control method of the cleaning equipment in this application embodiment will be explained below with reference to optional examples. In the optional examples, the cleaning equipment is a floor scrubber, the cleaning component is a floor brush, the wastewater tank is a sewage tank, the liquid storage component is a clean water tank, the first water pump is water pump A, the third water pump is water pump B, and the filter component is a low-pressure filter element. The water pump B can be configured as follows: Figure 9 As shown.

[0199] In this optional example, a low-pressure filter element is added inside the sewage tank, which can filter sewage under low pressure. The filter element can also be self-cleaned by pumping clean water from the clean water tank into the filter element and flushing it from the inside to the outside, thus extending the life of the filter element.

[0200] Combination Figure 10The floor scrubber can be equipped with two water pumps, pump A and pump B. Pump A is connected to both the clean water tank and the wastewater tank, and each is connected to a water flow sensor. Pump A is responsible for pumping clean water and filtered wastewater to the floor brush. Pump B is connected to the clean water tank. When the machine is started, pump A starts and sends water to the floor brush. Pump B does not work initially. At the same time, water flow sensors A and B continuously monitor whether water is flowing through the pipes. If water flow sensor B detects no water flowing through the pipe, it indicates that the filter cartridge may be clogged. Pump B then runs for a period of time, pumping water from the clean water tank to the filter cartridge in the wastewater tank, flushing the filter cartridge from the inside out to achieve self-cleaning. Then, pump B is turned off, and the wastewater in the wastewater tank continues to be filtered and pumped to the floor brush by pump A, achieving wastewater recycling.

[0201] This optional example also includes a water pump to self-clean the filter cartridge, increasing its lifespan and improving the clean water tank's operating capacity.
