Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of household appliance technology, and more specifically to cleaning equipment and its control methods, devices, and computer-readable storage media. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, food safety has become a topic of great concern. For pesticide residues and dirt on the surface of fruits and vegetables, the most common way to clean them is with water. However, ordinary water washing is often ineffective in removing contaminants from the crevices of fruits and vegetables. Some water-insoluble contaminants, such as various types of organic pesticides, cannot be washed away by ordinary water washing.

[0003] Other fruit and vegetable cleaning methods on the market include water electrolysis, ozone oxidation, and ultrasound. Among these, chemical methods such as water electrolysis and ozone oxidation produce toxic intermediate products and introduce various harmful substances, while ultrasound methods generate severe noise, which can affect users' daily lives.

[0019] In one alternative embodiment, the cleaning device further includes a top cover that is detachably disposed over the top opening of the receiving tank, the top cover having a top air hole communicating with an air supply device, and / or the top cover having a detection element.

[0020] Beneficial effects: The air vents on the top of the lid can generate cleaning bubbles on the top of the object to be cleaned, thereby achieving the purpose of cleaning the top of the object. Especially for objects that are floating, the cleaning bubbles generated by the lid can have a very good cleaning effect.

[0021] Furthermore, the detection elements installed on the top cover can improve the all-round detection of the object to be cleaned, thereby enabling the cleaning equipment to specify a reasonable cleaning strategy according to the specific object to be cleaned. On the one hand, this can improve the cleaning effect of the cleaning equipment on the object to be cleaned, and on the other hand, it can reduce the waste of resources.

[0022] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a control method for a cleaning device, which is implemented using the cleaning device of the first aspect of the present invention. The control method for the cleaning device includes: obtaining a holding area for the object to be cleaned within the cleaning device; controlling an air supply device to supply air to the bottom air hole and / or side air hole according to the holding area of ​​the object to be cleaned, and forming cleaning bubbles composed of cleaning liquid at the holding area.

[0053] To address the technical problem of toxic intermediate products generated by existing cleaning equipment during the cleaning process of fruits and vegetables, a safe, harmless, and comfortable method is needed to remove surface contaminants from fruits and vegetables, thus ensuring food safety for users.

[0054] The relevant technology uses the bubble method as a commonly used commercial method for cleaning fruits and vegetables, which has a good effect on removing dirt and sand from the surface of fruits and vegetables. However, there are currently few household bubble cleaning devices for fruits and vegetables, and the cleaning effect of household bubble methods on fruits and vegetables is limited.

[0055] To address the technical problem that household bubble cleaning methods have limited effectiveness for cleaning fruits and vegetables, the cleaning equipment proposed in this invention can not only be applied to household bubble cleaning, but also select bubbles at specific locations based on the specific location of the object to be cleaned for targeted cleaning, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the equipment.

[0056] The following is combined Figures 1 to 6 The following describes embodiments of the present invention.

[0057] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, according to an embodiment of the present invention, in one aspect, the present invention provides a cleaning device 100, the cleaning device 100 including a receiving tank 10, a detection element, and an air supply device 20. The bottom and side walls of the receiving tank 10 are respectively provided with bottom air holes 11 and side air holes 12. The receiving tank 10 contains an object to be cleaned and cleaning liquid that submerges the bottom air holes 11 and side air holes 12. The detection element is disposed in the receiving tank 10 for detecting the holding area of ​​the object to be cleaned in the receiving tank 10. The air supply device 20 is connected to the bottom air holes 11 and / or the side air holes 12 respectively. The cleaning device 100 can supply air to the bottom air holes 11 and / or the side air holes 12 through the air supply device 20 according to the holding area detected by the detection element, and form cleaning bubbles composed of cleaning liquid at the holding area.

[0058] In this embodiment, the cleaning device 100 proposed by the present invention can not only clean fruits and vegetables and other items to be cleaned by using the bubble method, but also select the corresponding bubble position according to the specific position of the item to be cleaned for targeted cleaning, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the cleaning device 100 on the item to be cleaned.

[0059] Specifically, the cleaning equipment 100 removes surface contaminants from fruits and vegetables awaiting cleaning by introducing air into the cleaning liquid in the holding tank 10, generating a large number of bubbles within the cleaning liquid, thus achieving optimal cleaning results. The cleaning equipment 100 can select different cleaning modes for the areas where fruits and vegetables awaiting cleaning are stored, thereby creating optimal purification conditions for the items and reducing resource waste.

[0060] For example, when the bottom of the object to be cleaned is heavily soiled, the cleaning equipment 100 can clean the bottom of the object by generating bottom air bubbles at the bottom air hole 11, and when the sides of the object to be cleaned are heavily soiled, it can clean the sides of the object by generating side air bubbles at the side air hole 12, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the cleaning equipment 100 on the object to be cleaned.

[0061] It should be noted that the embodiments of this application do not limit the type of detection element or the opening and closing method of the vent, because the type of detection element and the opening and closing method of the vent include a variety of embodiments. For example, the type of detection element includes radar sensor, infrared sensor, Hall sensor, etc., and the opening and closing method of the vent includes the method of controlling the switch of the air supply pipeline or the method of covering the vent. These adjustments are all within the protection scope of the embodiments of this application.

[0062] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the air supply device 20 includes an air pump 21, a bottom air pipe 22 that is connected to the bottom air hole 11, and a side air pipe that is connected to the side air hole 12. The cleaning device 100 supplies air to the bottom air pipe 22 and / or the side air pipe through the air pump 21.

[0063] In the above embodiment, the air pump 21 is connected to the bottom air pipe 22 and the side air pipe through a three-way valve. The air pump 21 is connected to the bottom air pipe 22 and / or the side air pipe through the three-way valve, thereby controlling the air supply device 20 to supply air to the bottom air pipe 22 and / or the side air pipe.

[0064] In addition, there is an embodiment in which both the bottom air pipe 22 and the side air pipe are equipped with air pumps 21. When the air supply device 20 needs to supply air to the bottom air pipe 22, the cleaning device controls the air pump 21 at the bottom air pipe 22 to turn on; when the air supply device 20 needs to supply air to the side air pipe, the cleaning device controls the air pump 21 at the side air pipe to turn on; thereby achieving the purpose of controlling the air supply device 20 to supply air to the bottom air pipe 22 and / or the side air pipe.

[0065] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the cleaning device 100 further includes a bottom cover that can cover the bottom air hole 11 and a side cover that can cover the side air hole 12. The cleaning device 100 also includes a first driving mechanism that can drive the bottom cover and a second driving mechanism that can drive the side cover. The cleaning device 100 can open and close the bottom air hole 11 through the bottom cover and open and close the side air hole 12 through the side cover.

[0066] In this embodiment, the side cover is rotatably or slidably disposed at the side vent 12, and the side cover opens or closes the side vent 12 by rotating or sliding; similarly, the bottom cover is rotatably or slidably disposed at the bottom vent 11, and the bottom cover opens or closes the bottom vent 11 by rotating or sliding.

[0067] Specifically, the first drive mechanism and the second drive mechanism are configured as drive motors or linear drive mechanisms to drive the side cover and bottom cover to rotate or slide, thereby achieving the purpose of opening and closing the side air hole 12 and the bottom air hole 11.

[0068] like Figure 1 Zhihe Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the bottom of the receiving groove 10 is provided with a plurality of bottom air holes 11, the bottom cover is provided with a plurality of bottom through holes corresponding to the plurality of bottom air holes 11, and / or the side wall of the receiving groove 10 is provided with a plurality of side air holes 12, and the side cover is provided with a plurality of side through holes corresponding to the plurality of side air holes 12.

[0069] In the above embodiment, the bottom cover is provided with a plurality of bottom through holes and a plurality of blocking parts located between the plurality of bottom through holes. The bottom cover is slidably disposed at the bottom of the receiving groove 10. The first driving mechanism can push the bottom cover to a first position where the plurality of bottom through holes and the plurality of bottom air holes 11 are connected, thereby opening the plurality of bottom air holes 11 of the receiving groove 10, and can push the bottom cover to a second position where the plurality of blocking parts block the plurality of bottom air holes 11, thereby closing the plurality of bottom air holes 11 of the receiving groove 10.

[0070] Similarly, the side cover is provided with multiple side through holes and multiple blocking parts located between the multiple side through holes. The side cover is slidably disposed at the bottom of the receiving groove 10. The second drive mechanism can push the side cover to a first position where the multiple side through holes and multiple side air holes 12 are connected, thereby opening the multiple side air holes 12 of the receiving groove 10, and can push the side cover to a second position where the multiple blocking parts block the multiple side air holes 12, thereby closing the multiple side air holes 12 of the receiving groove 10.

[0071] In some embodiments, the bottom and sidewalls of the receiving tank 10 are provided with detection elements, and the holding area includes the bottom height, top height, and horizontal position of the object to be cleaned as detected by the detection elements.

[0072] In the above embodiment, the detection element includes an infrared sensor, a radar sensor, or a Hall sensor to detect the bottom height, top height, and horizontal position of the object to be cleaned, and to determine the placement posture of the object to be cleaned, such as whether the object to be cleaned is floating, sinking, or offset.

[0073] Furthermore, the cleaning equipment 100 can control the bottom air hole 11 to generate bubbles to clean the object when it is floating; control the side air hole 12 to generate bubbles to clean the object when it is sinking; and control the air supply device 20 to supply air to the side air hole 12 of the biased side wall when the object is biased, so that the side air hole 12 of the biased side wall forms cleaning bubbles composed of cleaning liquid in the biased area to clean the object.

[0074] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the receiving tank 10 is configured as a rectangular tank, and the four walls of the rectangular tank are provided with side air holes 12. The cleaning device 100 can control the opening and closing of the side air holes 12 on each side wall according to the holding area.

[0075] In this embodiment, the receiving tank 10 has air holes in five directions at the bottom and on the four sides. The air holes in the five directions can be controlled separately. The direction of the air flow is different for different types of fruits and vegetables, so as to achieve precise cleaning of fruits and vegetables waiting to be cleaned.

[0076] Specifically, depending on the object to be cleaned being in an offset state, the air supply device 20 supplies air to the side air holes 12 of the offset side wall. The side air holes 12 of the offset side wall form cleaning bubbles composed of cleaning liquid in the offset area to clean the object to be cleaned.

[0077] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the cleaning device 100 further includes a top cover that is detachably disposed over the top opening of the receiving tank 10, the top cover having a top air hole communicating with the air supply device 20, and / or the top cover having a detection element.

[0078] In this embodiment, the top air hole of the top cover can generate cleaning bubbles on the top of the object to be cleaned, thereby achieving the purpose of cleaning the top of the object. Especially for objects that are floating, the cleaning bubbles generated by the top cover can have a very good cleaning effect.

[0079] Furthermore, the detection elements installed on the top cover can improve the all-round detection of the object to be cleaned, thereby enabling the cleaning equipment 100 to specify a reasonable cleaning strategy according to the specific object to be cleaned. On the one hand, this can improve the cleaning effect of the cleaning equipment 100 on the object to be cleaned, and on the other hand, it can reduce the waste of resources.

[0080] like Figure 4 As shown, in a second aspect, the present invention provides a control method for a cleaning device 100. The control method for the cleaning device 100 is implemented using the cleaning device 100 of the first aspect of the present invention. The control method for the cleaning device 100 includes: obtaining a holding area for the object to be cleaned within the cleaning device 100; controlling an air supply device 20 to supply air to the bottom air hole 11 and / or the side air hole 12 according to the holding area of ​​the object to be cleaned, and forming cleaning bubbles composed of cleaning liquid at the holding area.

[0081] In this embodiment, the cleaning device 100 proposed by the present invention can not only clean fruits and vegetables and other items to be cleaned by using the bubble method, but also select the corresponding bubble position according to the specific position of the item to be cleaned for targeted cleaning, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the cleaning device 100 on the item to be cleaned.

[0082] Specifically, the cleaning equipment 100 removes surface contaminants from fruits and vegetables awaiting cleaning by introducing air into the cleaning liquid in the holding tank 10, generating a large number of bubbles within the cleaning liquid, thus achieving optimal cleaning results. The cleaning equipment 100 can select different cleaning modes for the areas where fruits and vegetables awaiting cleaning are stored, thereby creating optimal purification conditions for the items and reducing resource waste.

[0083] like Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, supplying air to the bottom air hole 11 and / or the side air hole 12 according to the holding area of ​​the object to be cleaned specifically includes: controlling the air supply device 20 to supply air to the side air hole 12 according to the holding area of ​​the object to be cleaned being a floating area, and the side air hole 12 forming cleaning bubbles composed of cleaning liquid in the floating area; and / or controlling the air supply device 20 to supply air to the bottom air hole 11 according to the holding area of ​​the object to be cleaned being a sinking area, and the bottom air hole 11 forming cleaning bubbles composed of cleaning liquid in the sinking area; and / or controlling the air supply device 20 to supply air to the bottom air hole 11 and the side air hole 12 according to the holding area of ​​the object to be cleaned including a sinking area and a floating area, and the bottom air hole 11 and the side air hole 12 forming cleaning bubbles composed of cleaning liquid in the sinking area and the floating area.

[0084] In this embodiment, the method of opening the vents is related to the type of object to be cleaned, thereby improving the cleaning effect and reducing resource waste. This is illustrated below through four embodiments:

[0085] Example 1: When the items to be cleaned are fruits and vegetables that are easy to sink, such as grapes, cherry tomatoes and other fruits and vegetables with high density, the bottom air hole 11 is opened to generate bottom air bubble flow at the bottom of the receiving tank 10, thereby ensuring that the fruits and vegetables are in uniform contact with the air bubble flow during the cleaning process and improving the cleaning effect of the cleaning air bubble on the fruits and vegetables.

[0086] Example 2: When the items to be cleaned are fruits and vegetables that easily float on the water surface, such as spinach and lettuce, which have low density, the side air hole 12 is opened to generate a side bubble flow, so that the side bubble flow can surge from the side of the liquid surface to the center, thereby ensuring that fruits and vegetables that do not easily sink, such as spinach and lettuce, can be effectively cleaned.

[0087] Example 3: When there are many types of fruits and vegetables in the container 10, including those that float easily and those that sink easily, the side and bottom bubble flow modes, i.e., the powerful fruit and vegetable cleaning mode, can be turned on at the same time to ensure that the pesticide residues attached to the fruits and vegetables can be fully removed.

[0088] Example 4: Users can also choose the cleaning direction of the bubble flow. Users can decide which cleaning mode to choose according to the actual cleaning situation.

[0089] like Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the control method of the cleaning device 100 further includes: obtaining the volume of the object to be cleaned, and controlling the air supply speed of the air supply device 20 to the bottom air hole 11 and / or the side air hole 12 according to the volume of the object to be cleaned.

[0090] In this embodiment, the number and size of bubbles during the washing process have a significant impact on the cleaning ability of fruits and vegetables, which will be illustrated below through two examples:

[0091] Example 1: When the amount of fruits and vegetables is small, if the height of the vegetables in the container 10 is less than 1 / 2 of the height of the container 10, then a conventional cleaning method is adopted, and a more suitable airflow velocity is selected. For example, the gas flow velocity can be set to 3L / min-5L / min.

[0092] Example 2: When there are a large quantity of fruits and vegetables, or when they are heavy or have a large surface area, more air bubbles are needed for cleaning. When the height of the fruits and vegetables waiting to be cleaned in the water tank exceeds 1 / 2 of the height of the receiving tank 10, the airflow rate is increased. For example, the airflow rate is increased to twice the normal cleaning rate. The gas flow rate can be set to 6L / min-10L / min.

[0093] In some embodiments, the control method of the cleaning device 100 further includes: obtaining the amount of pesticide adhering to the object to be cleaned, and controlling the cleaning liquid to include at least one alkaline food additive based on the amount of pesticide adhering, wherein the alkaline food additive includes sodium citrate, potassium citrate, sodium bicarbonate, or potassium bicarbonate.

[0094] In this embodiment, the present application uses a combination of bubble flow and additives to clean the items to be cleaned. Air is pumped into the cleaning liquid in the receiving tank 10 by the air pump 21, forming a large number of bubbles in the cleaning liquid. The bubble flow effectively cleans the contaminants on the surface of fruits and vegetables. At the same time, additives are added to the receiving tank 10. For example, alkaline food additives can have a good removal effect on most commonly used acidic pesticides. By using a combination of bubble flow and additives, pesticide residues on the surface of fruits and vegetables can be removed efficiently.

[0095] Specifically, the process of using bubble flow to clean pesticide residues from the surface of fruits and vegetables needs to be combined with additives to achieve the best pesticide residue removal effect. Alkaline food additives, as highly water-soluble solutes, have a good removal effect on a variety of pesticide residues and are harmless to the human body, making them an effective auxiliary material for removing pesticide residues.

[0096] Specifically, sodium citrate food additive has a good removal effect on most types of pesticide residues, such as cypermethrin, chlorpyrifos, and acetamiprid. Therefore, during the process of removing pesticide residues using aerosol flow, an appropriate amount of sodium citrate food additive can be added to the receiving tank 10 to remove pesticide residues from the surface of the object to be cleaned. Specifically, the sodium citrate food additive can be added to 0.5%-3% of the weight of the cleaning solution in the receiving tank 10.

[0097] Potassium citrate is a food additive that is easily soluble in water. It can be added to the container tank 10 by weight during the process of removing pesticide residues using bubble flow. It can be added to the container tank 10 by weight of 0.5%-3% of the cleaning solution.

[0098] Sodium bicarbonate food additive can be added to the container tank 10 by weight during the process of removing pesticide residues by bubble flow, and can be added to the container tank 10 by weight of 0.5%-3% of the cleaning liquid in the container tank 10.

[0099] Potassium bicarbonate food additive, its aqueous solution is weakly alkaline, can be added to the container tank 10 during the process of removing pesticide residues by bubble flow, and can be added to the container tank 10 at 0.5%-3% of the weight of the cleaning solution.

[0100] Mixed food additives, such as sodium citrate, potassium citrate, sodium bicarbonate, and potassium bicarbonate, can be added in mixtures of two, three, or four types, with the addition ratios set to 1:1, 1:2, 1:3, 1:1:1, 1:2:1, etc., and can be added to 0.5%-3% of the weight of the cleaning solution in the holding tank 10, thereby effectively removing pesticide residues from the surface of fruits and vegetables.

[0101] In one optional embodiment, the control method of the cleaning device 100 further includes: executing a cleaning mode corresponding to the type and degree of dirt of the object to be cleaned, the cleaning mode including quick wash mode, fine wash mode and self-selection mode.

[0102] In this embodiment, for fruits and vegetables with different levels of dirt and to meet the different psychological expectations of users regarding cleaning time, a variety of cleaning methods with different durations can be adopted. For example, users can use quick wash and fine wash modes.

[0103] Specifically, users can use the quick wash mode to quickly clean relatively clean fruits and vegetables, which can be completed in 10 minutes; users can use the fine wash mode to clean fruits and vegetables more thoroughly, which can be completed in 20 minutes; users can also adjust the washing time themselves and choose the washing time according to the actual situation.

[0104] In an optional embodiment, the control method of the cleaning device 100 further includes: executing a cleaning mode corresponding to the type and degree of dirt of the object to be cleaned, the cleaning mode including multiple cleaning modes.

[0105] In this embodiment, when it is necessary to clean the items to be cleaned multiple times, after one cleaning of the items to be cleaned, the air hole of the container 10 is closed, the sewage in the container 10 is discharged through the drain at the bottom of the container 10, and then clean water is added to the container 10. This process is repeated to clean the fruits and vegetables in the container 10 multiple times, so as to ensure that the pollutants such as mud and pesticide residues washed out will not re-adhere to the surface of the fruits and vegetables.

[0106] Specifically, the cleaning equipment 100 can change the water every five minutes. Users can also adjust the water change time of the cleaning equipment 100 themselves, so as to complete the cleaning of the object to be cleaned with less material.
