[0071] The realization of the objective, functional features and advantages of the present invention will be further explained in conjunction with the embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. Detailed Implementation

[0072] The technical solution of the present invention will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. The present invention 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 in the embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other.

[0073] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and drawings of this invention are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence.

[0074] In this invention, unless otherwise stated, directional terms such as "upper," "lower," "top," and "bottom" are generally used in relation to the direction shown in the accompanying drawings, or in relation to the vertical, perpendicular, or gravitational direction of the component itself; similarly, for ease of understanding and description, "inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer contours of each component itself, but the above directional terms are not intended to limit this invention.

[0075] This embodiment provides a control method for automatic mixing of cleaning fluid, which is applied to a cleaning base station. The cleaning base station is part of a cleaning system, which includes cleaning robots, such as sweeping robots, etc. These are not listed here, and this embodiment does not limit them.

[0076] The following describes the implementation details of the automatic mixing control method for cleaning fluid in this embodiment. The following implementation details are provided for ease of understanding only and are not necessary for implementing this solution.

[0077] This embodiment relates to a control method for automatic proportioning of cleaning fluid, applied to cleaning base stations. Please refer to [link / reference needed]. Figure 10 and Figure 11The cleaning base station includes a receiving cavity for containing cleaning fluid, an infusion tube assembly 2, a first control pump 3, and a second control pump. The infusion tube assembly 2 includes a first outlet tube 21, a second outlet tube 22, and a mixing tube 23. The receiving cavity is connected to one end of the first outlet tube 21, and one end of the second outlet tube 22 is connected to a water source. The first control pump 3 and the second control pump are respectively connected to the first outlet tube 21 and the second outlet tube 22. The other ends of the first outlet tube 21 and the second outlet tube 22 are respectively connected to the mixing tube 23.

[0078] More specifically, the cleaning base station includes a solution container 1 with a receiving cavity and a first outlet 11 extending through its bottom. The cleaning base station also includes an infusion tube assembly 2. One end of the first outlet tube 21 is connected to the first outlet 11 for conveying cleaning solution, and one end of the second outlet tube 22 is connected to a water source for conveying clean water. The other ends of the first and second outlet tubes 21 and 22 are respectively connected to one end of a mixing tube 23. Thus, the solution in the solution container 1 flows out from the first outlet tube 21, and the diluted solution (for diluting or preparing the solution) flows out from the second outlet tube 22. After mixing in the mixing tube 23 to form a solution with a specific ratio, the solution flows out. The second outlet tube 22 can be directly connected to a tap water pipe or to a container containing the diluted solution (e.g., clean water). It can be an external water source or the water source of the cleaning base station; no specific limitations are imposed here.

[0079] The first embodiment of the automatic proportioning control method for cleaning solution provided by the present invention is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the control method includes:

[0080] The control method includes:

[0081] Step S100: Obtain the identification information of the cleaning solution;

[0082] It should be understood that the entity implementing this embodiment is the cleaning base station. The identification information for the cleaning fluid can be, for example, a QR code, barcode, or information about the type of cleaning fluid. This identification information can be identified through a terminal or server, specifically through a relevant app on the terminal or server to query the type of cleaning fluid corresponding to that identification information.

[0083] The cleaning solution can be any commercially available cleaning solution such as 84 disinfectant, Dettol, or Walch, or it can be a cleaning solution that is designed to be used with a cleaning robot. There are no specific restrictions here.

[0084] Step S200: Determine the type of cleaning solution based on the identification information;

[0085] It should be understood that different labels correspond to different cleaning solutions. The types of cleaning solutions can be classified according to the application scenario, the difficulty of removing stains (e.g., strong stain remover, general stain remover), or the concentration of the cleaning solution. Examples will not be listed here.

[0086] According to the application scenario, cleaning solutions can be categorized as follows:

[0087] 1. Water-soluble stain cleaner: Water-soluble stains include sugar, salt, starch, etc.

[0088] 2. Oil-soluble stain cleaner: Oil-soluble stains include various vegetable oils, animal oils, and mineral oils.

[0089] 3. Solid stain cleaning solution: for solid stains such as cement, dust, lint, etc.

[0090] The optimal mixing ratios differ for the three different scenarios. For example, the concentration of the cleaning solution after mixing is higher for oil-soluble stains than for general stains, while the concentration of the cleaning solution after mixing is lower for water-soluble or solid stains than for oil-soluble stains.

[0091] In addition, the information about the cleaning solution may also include the brand, mixing ratio, concentration (concentration before mixing), etc. Thus, the type of cleaning solution can be determined based on the labeling information, or it can be determined based on one or more of the following: brand, mixing ratio, concentration, and type.

[0092] Step S300: Determine the optimal mixing ratio of the cleaning solution and the water according to the type of cleaning solution;

[0093] It should be understood that different types of cleaning solutions may have different optimal mixing ratios for the cleaning solution and the water. Determining the optimal mixing ratio based on the type of cleaning solution can be done by directly retrieving the optimal mixing ratio corresponding to the type of cleaning solution from pre-stored information. Different cleaning solutions may have different optimal mixing ratios; for example, different brands may have different formulas, and the concentration of the cleaning solution may differ, resulting in different mixing ratios.

[0094] Users can also update the optimal mixing ratio for different scenarios and stain levels based on their actual needs. For example, for oil-soluble stains, users A and B may have different stain levels, so the corresponding mixing ratios will also differ. Different application scenarios can also be pre-classified; for example, oil-soluble stains can be classified as low, medium, and high, thus ensuring the cleaning solution mixing ratio better suits their needs.

[0095] The cleaning solution can be of different types or brands, and the mixing ratio of the cleaning solution to water can be different or the same. The optimal mixing ratio of the cleaning solution and water can be preset by the user, set by the factory, or set by the user according to different application scenarios. For example, when the cleaning robot to be cleaned has heavy oil stains, the mixing ratio of cleaning solution to water can be a higher concentration of cleaning solution (e.g., a mixing ratio of 5:10); when the cleaning robot to be cleaned has ordinary dirt, the mixing ratio of cleaning solution to water can be a lower concentration of cleaning solution (e.g., a mixing ratio of 5:100).

[0096] When different brands of cleaning solutions are used, the concentration of the cleaning solution varies, resulting in different mixing ratios between the cleaning solution and water. The mixing ratio can be set according to the brand; for example, for brand A, the ratio is 1:20; for brand B, it's 1:30, and so on. Alternatively, different brands can have different mixing ratios for different cleaning environments. For instance, when using brand A and the cleaning robot has heavy oil stains, the ratio is 1:10, while when using brand B and the same condition, the ratio is 1:15.

[0097] It should be noted that the level of dirt on the cleaning robot to be cleaned can be determined based on the environment in which the cleaning robot works.

[0098] Therefore, determining the optimal mixing ratio of the cleaning solution and the water based on the type of cleaning solution can be done by one or more of the following: the type of cleaning solution, the current application scenario, the degree of dirt, and the brand of the cleaning solution. The current application scenario can be determined by intelligent AI identifying the dirt level of the current environment and determining the dirt level on the cleaning robot accordingly, or by user input or information received from a server or terminal regarding the relevant application scenario. Specifically, determining the optimal mixing ratio of the cleaning solution and the water based on the type of cleaning solution includes querying the optimal mixing ratio corresponding to the determined brand and type. In practice, for example, the optimal mixing ratios for cleaning solutions of brand A1 (A11, A12, A13, etc.) and brand A2 (A21, A22, A23, etc.) can be stored in advance, allowing for direct querying based on the identified information.

[0099] Additionally, assuming the cleaning solution C added by the user is a cleaning solution that does not exist in the pre-stored database or cannot be found, the concentration of cleaning solution C can be detected, and the optimal mixing ratio of cleaning solution D with a similar concentration to cleaning solution C in the database can be used as the optimal mixing ratio of cleaning solution C. Alternatively, based on information such as the mixing ratio and brand of the cleaning solution, the optimal mixing ratio of cleaning solution E with a similar concentration to cleaning solution C in the database can be used as the optimal mixing ratio of cleaning solution C.

[0100] Step S400: Determine the conduction parameters of the first control pump and the second control pump according to the optimal mixing ratio, wherein the conduction parameters include conduction duration and flow rate;

[0101] It should be understood that once the mixing ratio of cleaning solution and clean water is determined, the first control pump 3 and the second control pump can be controlled with the same flow rate or with different flow rates.

[0102] Specifically, step S400, when implemented, includes:

[0103] When the flow rates of the first control pump 3 and the second control pump are the same, the conduction time of the first control pump 3 and the second control pump is determined according to the optimal mixing ratio of cleaning liquid and clean water; or,

[0104] When the conduction time of the first control pump 3 and the second control pump is the same, the flow rates of the first control pump 3 and the second control pump are determined according to the optimal mixing ratio of cleaning liquid and clean water.

[0105] Step S500: Control the first control pump and the second control pump according to the conduction parameters.

[0106] It should be understood that, based on the determined conduction parameters, the first control pump 3 and the second control pump are controlled, including the conduction duration and flow rate. This can be achieved by controlling the flow rates of the first control pump 3 and the second control pump to be the same, while controlling the opening duration of the first control pump 3 and the second control pump; or by controlling the flow rate of the first control pump 3 and the second control pump to be the same; or by controlling both the conduction duration and the flow rate to be different, thereby achieving a constant mixing ratio of cleaning liquid and clean water, resulting in more uniform mixing.

[0107] This invention obtains the identification information of the cleaning fluid, determines the type of the cleaning fluid based on the identification information, determines the optimal mixing ratio of the cleaning fluid and the clean water based on the type of the cleaning fluid, determines the conduction parameters of the first control pump and the second control pump based on the optimal mixing ratio, wherein the conduction parameters include conduction duration and flow rate, and finally controls the first control pump and the second control pump based on the conduction parameters. In this way, the optimal mixing ratio can be dynamically determined based on the information of the cleaning fluid, which solves the problem of poor cleaning effect of the cleaning base station after changing different cleaning fluids in the prior art.

[0108] like Figure 2 As shown, in a second embodiment of the automatic mixing control method for cleaning fluid provided by the present invention, the cleaning base station includes a solution container having a receiving cavity, a chip being disposed on the solution container, and a detection device for identifying the chip being disposed on the cleaning base station, wherein the chip is matched with the type of cleaning fluid. The identification information includes the detection result of the chip being detected by the detection device for identifying the chip; step S200 includes:

[0109] Step S210: Determine the type of cleaning solution based on the detection result of the chip detected by the detection device used to identify the chip.

[0110] It should be understood that the different identification information corresponds to different information on the chip, meaning the information on the chip corresponds to the type of cleaning solution; alternatively, different chip types may correspond to different types of cleaning solutions. The detection device for identifying the chip can be any commercially available identification device, and no specific restrictions are imposed here.

[0111] like Figure 3 As shown, in the third embodiment of the automatic proportioning control method for cleaning solution provided by the present invention, step S300 includes:

[0112] Step S310: Send the type of cleaning solution to the terminal or server;

[0113] It should be understood that the terminal can be, for example, a user's mobile phone.

[0114] Step S320: Receive the optimal mixing ratio corresponding to the type of cleaning solution sent by the terminal or server.

[0115] It should be understood that the type of cleaning solution is sent to the terminal or server. The terminal or server queries the optimal mixing ratio range corresponding to the type of cleaning solution, determines the optimal mixing ratio based on the optimal mixing ratio range, or it can directly query the optimal mixing ratio corresponding to the type of cleaning solution and send the optimal mixing ratio to the cleaning base station.

[0116] Alternatively, the terminal or server can determine the optimal mixing ratio based on a pre-stored correspondence between the types of cleaning solutions and the optimal mixing ratio of the cleaning solution and the clean water. It can also be manually input, or the terminal or server can respond to a user's request to input the optimal mixing ratio, send the user-input optimal mixing ratio to the cleaning base station, and update the correspondence between the types of cleaning solutions and the optimal mixing ratio of the cleaning solution and the clean water stored in the terminal or server.

[0117] like Figure 4 As shown, in the fourth embodiment of the automatic proportioning control method for cleaning solution provided by the present invention, the identification information of the cleaning solution is a QR code or barcode; step S200 includes:

[0118] Step S220: Send the QR code or barcode of the cleaning solution to the terminal or server;

[0119] It should be understood that, in other embodiments, the identification information of the cleaning solution may also be other identification codes, or other identifiers that can distinguish different types of cleaning solutions.

[0120] Accordingly, step S300 includes:

[0121] Step S330: Receive the optimal mixing ratio corresponding to the type of cleaning solution sent by the terminal or server.

[0122] It should be understood that the QR code or barcode of the cleaning solution is sent to the terminal or server. The terminal or server identifies the information of the cleaning solution based on the QR code or barcode, and queries the optimal mixing ratio based on the information of the cleaning solution. Specifically, it can query the optimal mixing ratio range corresponding to the type of cleaning solution, and determine the optimal mixing ratio based on the optimal mixing ratio range. Alternatively, it can query the optimal mixing ratio corresponding to the type of cleaning solution and send the optimal mixing ratio to the cleaning base station.

[0123] Alternatively, the terminal or server can query the optimal mixing ratio based on the pre-stored correspondence between the types of cleaning solutions and the optimal mixing ratio of the cleaning solution and the clean water, or it can be manually input, or the cleaning base station can respond to the user's request to input the optimal mixing ratio, send the user-input optimal mixing ratio to the cleaning base station, and update the correspondence between the types of cleaning solutions and the optimal mixing ratio of the cleaning solution and the clean water stored in the terminal or server.

[0124] like Figure 5 As shown, in the fifth embodiment of the automatic mixing control method for cleaning fluid provided by the present invention, a detection element is provided in the receiving cavity; correspondingly, before step S100, the control method further includes:

[0125] Step S110: Control the detection element to identify the solution type of the cleaning fluid;

[0126] It should be understood that solution type can be determined according to concentration, component ratio, etc. Taking the classification of solution type based on concentration as an example, the testing device can be a commercially available solution concentration tester, and the solution type can be determined based on the detected concentration. Therefore, the concentration of the cleaning solution is directly proportional to the proportion of water added during mixing; that is, the higher the concentration of the cleaning solution, the more water needs to be added during mixing.

[0127] Step S120: Determine the optimal mixing ratio of cleaning solution and water based on the detected solution type and the correspondence between the pre-stored solution type and the optimal mixing ratio.

[0128] It should be understood that if the solution type is classified according to concentration, for example, into low, medium, and high concentration, then the corresponding mixing ratio will also be different for different concentration classifications. The mixing concentration of a low-classified solution is higher than that of a high-classified solution. That is, when a low-classified solution is mixed with water, less water needs to be added than when a high-classified solution is mixed with water.

[0129] In addition, prior to the step of determining the mixing ratio of cleaning solution and water based on the detected solution type and the pre-stored correspondence between solution type and mixing ratio, the control method includes:

[0130] Establish a correspondence between different solution types and optimal mixing ratios.

[0131] like Figure 6 As shown, in the sixth embodiment of the automatic proportioning control method for cleaning fluid provided by the present invention, a flow meter is also connected to the second outlet pipe 22; correspondingly, step S400 includes:

[0132] Step S410: Obtain the flow rate of clean water in real time using a flow meter;

[0133] It should be understood that the clean water can come from tap water or from a clean water tank; there are no specific restrictions. The flow meter can be installed on the second outlet pipe 22.

[0134] Step S420: Determine the flow rate of the first control pump 3 based on the flow rate of the clean water and the mixing ratio.

[0135] It should be understood that by acquiring the flow rate of clean water in real time, and then adjusting the flow rate of the first control pump 3 in real time based on the flow rate and mixing ratio, the pumping rate is controlled, thereby regulating the optimal mixing ratio of cleaning liquid and clean water in real time and ensuring that the mixing ratio remains constant.

[0136] like Figure 7As shown, this embodiment relates to a method for controlling the automatic proportioning of cleaning solution, including the following steps:

[0137] Step S100': Receive the identification information of the cleaning fluid sent by the cleaning base station;

[0138] It should be noted that the implementing entity of this embodiment is a terminal or a server. The terminal can be, but is not limited to, a mobile phone, a laptop, or a tablet computer. The identification information of the cleaning solution can be a QR code or barcode, or other identification codes, such as other identifiers that can distinguish different types of cleaning solutions.

[0139] Step S200': Determine the type of cleaning solution based on its identification information;

[0140] It should be understood that the terminal or server identifies the type of cleaning solution based on the QR code or barcode, or it can determine one or more of the cleaning solution's type, concentration, brand, etc., based on the cleaning solution's identification information.

[0141] Step S300': Based on the type of cleaning solution, query the optimal mixing ratio range corresponding to the type of cleaning solution;

[0142] It should be understood that one can look up the optimal mixing ratio range corresponding to the type of cleaning solution, and determine the optimal mixing ratio based on the optimal mixing ratio range, or one can directly look up the optimal mixing ratio corresponding to the type of cleaning solution.

[0143] Alternatively, the terminal or server can query the optimal mixing ratio based on the pre-stored correspondence between the types of cleaning solutions and the optimal mixing ratio of the cleaning solution and the clean water, or it can be manually input, or the cleaning base station can respond to the user's request to input the optimal mixing ratio, send the user-input optimal mixing ratio to the cleaning base station, and update the correspondence between the types of cleaning solutions and the optimal mixing ratio of the cleaning solution and the clean water stored in the terminal or server.

[0144] Step S400': Determine the optimal mixing ratio of the cleaning solution and the clean water and send it to the cleaning base station.

[0145] like Figure 8 As shown, the first embodiment of the automatic cleaning solution proportioning control device of the present invention includes an information acquisition unit 510, an identification unit 520, a proportion determination unit 530, a parameter determination unit 540, and a parameter control unit 550, wherein...

[0146] The information acquisition unit 510 is used to acquire the identification information of the cleaning fluid;

[0147] It should be understood that the labeling information for cleaning solutions can be, for example, a QR code, a barcode, or information about the type of cleaning solution. This labeling information may need to be identified through a terminal or server; that is, it can be identified through a relevant app on the terminal or server to query the type of cleaning solution corresponding to that labeling information.

[0148] The cleaning solution can be any commercially available cleaning solution such as 84 disinfectant, Dettol, or Walch, or it can be a cleaning solution that is designed to be used with a cleaning robot. There are no specific restrictions here.

[0149] The identification unit 520 is used to determine the type of cleaning solution based on the identification information;

[0150] It should be understood that different labels correspond to different cleaning solutions. The types of cleaning solutions can be classified according to the application scenario, the difficulty of removing stains (e.g., strong stain remover, general stain remover), or the concentration of the cleaning solution. Examples will not be listed here.

[0151] In addition, the information about the cleaning solution may also include the brand, mixing ratio, concentration (concentration before mixing), etc. Thus, the type of cleaning solution can be determined based on the labeling information, or it can be determined based on one or more of the following: brand, mixing ratio, concentration, and type.

[0152] The ratio determination unit 530 is used to determine the optimal mixing ratio of the cleaning liquid and the water according to the type of the cleaning liquid;

[0153] It should be understood that different types of cleaning solutions may have different optimal mixing ratios for the cleaning solution and the water. Determining the optimal mixing ratio based on the type of cleaning solution can be done by directly retrieving the optimal mixing ratio corresponding to the type of cleaning solution from pre-stored information. Different cleaning solutions may have different optimal mixing ratios; for example, different brands may have different formulas, and the concentration of the cleaning solution may differ, resulting in different mixing ratios.

[0154] Determining the optimal mixing ratio of the cleaning solution and the water based on the type of cleaning solution can be done by one or more of the following: the type of cleaning solution, the current application scenario, the degree of dirtiness, and the brand of the cleaning solution. The current application scenario can be determined by intelligent AI identifying the level of dirt in the current environment and assessing the level of dirtiness on the cleaning robot accordingly. Alternatively, it can be determined by user input or information received from a server or terminal regarding the relevant application scenario. Specifically, determining the optimal mixing ratio of the cleaning solution and the water based on the type of cleaning solution includes querying the optimal mixing ratio corresponding to the identified brand and type.

[0155] The parameter determination unit 540 is used to determine the conduction parameters of the first control pump and the second control pump according to the optimal mixing ratio, wherein the conduction parameters include conduction duration and flow rate;

[0156] It should be understood that once the mixing ratio of cleaning solution and clean water is determined, the first control pump 3 and the second control pump can be controlled with the same flow rate or with different flow rates.

[0157] The parameter determination unit 540 is also used for:

[0158] When the flow rates of the first control pump 3 and the second control pump are the same, the conduction time of the first control pump 3 and the second control pump is determined according to the optimal mixing ratio of cleaning liquid and clean water; or,

[0159] When the conduction time of the first control pump 3 and the second control pump is the same, the flow rates of the first control pump 3 and the second control pump are determined according to the optimal mixing ratio of cleaning liquid and clean water.

[0160] The parameter control unit 550 is used to control the first control pump and the second control pump according to the conduction parameters.

[0161] It should be understood that, based on the determined conduction parameters, the first control pump 3 and the second control pump are controlled, including the conduction duration and flow rate. This can be achieved by controlling the flow rates of the first control pump 3 and the second control pump to be the same, while controlling the opening duration of the first control pump 3 and the second control pump; or by controlling the flow rate of the first control pump 3 and the second control pump to be the same; or by controlling both the conduction duration and the flow rate to be different, thereby achieving a constant mixing ratio of cleaning liquid and clean water, resulting in more uniform mixing.

[0162] Furthermore, the clean base station involved in this invention, such as Figure 9As shown, it includes at least one processor 601; and a memory 602 communicatively connected to at least one processor 601; wherein the memory 602 stores instructions that can be executed by at least one processor 601, and the instructions are executed by at least one processor 601 to enable at least one processor 601 to perform the automatic proportioning control method for cleaning fluid described in the above embodiments.

[0163] The memory 602 and processor 601 are connected via a bus, which may include any number of interconnecting buses and bridges. The bus connects various circuits of one or more processors 601 and memory 602 together. The bus can also connect various other circuits, such as peripheral devices, voltage regulators, and power management circuits, which are well known in the art and therefore will not be described further herein. A bus interface provides an interface between the bus and the transceiver. The transceiver can be a single element or multiple elements, such as multiple receivers and transmitters, providing a unit for communicating with various other devices over a transmission medium. Data processed by processor 601 is transmitted over a wireless medium via an antenna, which further receives data and transmits it to processor 601.

[0164] Processor 601 is responsible for managing the bus and general processing, and can also provide various functions, including timing, peripheral interfaces, voltage regulation, power management, and other control functions. Memory 602 can be used to store data used by processor 601 during operation.

[0165] This invention also relates to a computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program. When executed by a processor, the computer program implements the above-described control method for automatically proportioning cleaning solutions.

[0166] That is, those skilled in the art will understand that all or part of the steps in the methods of the above embodiments can be implemented by a program instructing related hardware. This program is stored in a storage medium and includes several instructions to cause a device (which may be a microcontroller, chip, etc.) or processor to execute all or part of the steps of the methods described in the various embodiments of this application. The aforementioned storage medium includes various media capable of storing program code, such as a USB flash drive, a portable hard drive, a read-only memory (ROM), a random access memory (RAM), a magnetic disk, or an optical disk.

[0167] Obviously, the embodiments described above are merely some, not all, embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications without creative effort, and all such variations or modifications should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
