[0016] The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It is to be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention, rather than to limit the present invention. It should also be noted that, for ease of description, only parts related to the present invention, rather than all structures, are shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0017] When using cleaning equipment with a working area as a confined space, such as washing machines and dishwashers, washing water will flow through the confined space. If it is not cleaned for a long time, a large amount of soap scum, washing powder and residual debris from washing will accumulate in the confined space. For example, fiber dirt will remain in the washing machine and food debris will remain in the dishwasher. These dirts are in a dark and humid environment for a long time, which can easily cause bacteria to multiply and emit odor. The existing technology mainly cleans the confined space when it is manually determined that there is an odor in the confined space. However, when making a manual judgment, there may be inaccurate judgment on the one hand, and there may also be untimely judgment on the other hand.

[0018] The cleaning method, device, cleaning equipment and storage medium provided by the embodiment of the present invention first use an odor sensor to monitor the odor value in the enclosed space of the cleaning equipment whose working area is a enclosed space, so as to timely judge the accumulation of dirt and the growth of bacteria in the enclosed space according to the odor value. If the odor value exceeds a certain value, it means that the accumulated amount of dirt and the amount of bacteria grown in the enclosed space of the cleaning equipment have reached a level that may affect the health of the user and need to be cleaned. At this time, the high temperature of the heated electrolyzed water and the active oxygen, active chlorine and hydroxyl free radicals generated by the electrolysis are used to disinfect the grown bacteria, and the active oxygen, active chlorine and hydroxyl free radicals generated by the electrolysis are used to decompose the dirt, and then further remove it.

[0019] Figure 1 A flowchart of a cleaning method for cleaning equipment provided in an embodiment of the present invention. The method can be performed by a cleaning device for cleaning equipment provided in an embodiment of the present invention, and the device can be implemented in software and / or hardware. In a specific embodiment, the device can be integrated into an electronic device, such as a computer, a server, etc. The following embodiments will be described by taking the device integrated into an electronic cleaning device that can be integrated in a closed space in the working area and includes an odor sensor, a heating device, and an electrolysis device as an example. Reference Figure 1 , the method may specifically include the following steps:

[0020] Step 101, using an odor sensor to monitor whether there is an odor in the enclosed space, which can timely detect the presence of odor in the enclosed space, thereby facilitating immediate use of heated electrolyzed water for self-sterilization and cleaning.

[0021] In an optional specific embodiment of the present invention, the process of using the odor sensor to monitor whether there is an odor in the enclosed space includes: using the odor sensor to monitor the odor value of the enclosed space to obtain the current odor value of the enclosed space.

[0022] Specifically, the relationship between the current odor value of the enclosed space and the amount of dirt accumulation and bacteria growth in the enclosed space may be positively correlated or negatively correlated.

[0023] In an optional specific embodiment of the present invention, the above-mentioned process of monitoring whether there is an odor in a confined space using an odor sensor includes: judging whether the current odor value of the confined space is greater than a preset first odor value threshold; and when the current odor value of the confined space is greater than the first odor value threshold, judging that there is an odor in the confined space.

[0024] Specifically, under the premise that the current enclosed space odor value is positively correlated with the amount of dirt accumulated and the amount of bacteria grown in the enclosed space, if the current enclosed space odor value is greater than the preset first odor value threshold, it can be judged that the accumulated amount of dirt and the amount of bacteria grown have reached a level that may affect the health of the user and need to be cleaned.

[0025] Specifically, the first odor value threshold value may be set according to the odor value within the enclosed space of different cleaning devices under normal conditions.

[0026] Specifically, the cleaning equipment may have a certain odor due to the material. However, different cleaning equipments are made of different materials, so the odor values ​​in the closed spaces of different cleaning equipments under normal conditions may also be different. Therefore, the first odor value threshold value needs to be set according to the odor values ​​in the closed spaces of different cleaning equipments under normal conditions.

[0027] In an optional specific embodiment of the present invention, the process of monitoring whether there is an odor in the enclosed space using an odor sensor is performed after a predetermined period of time after the cleaning device completes its work.

[0028] Specifically, the cleaning device is emptied after the work is completed. Specifically, the cleaning device can be emptied after cleaning items with the cleaning device, or the cleaning device can be emptied after self-cleaning.

[0029] Specifically, in the process of cleaning items or cleaning equipment, odorous detergents are usually used. Because the odor of detergents will become smaller over time, and the odor generated by dirt breeding bacteria will become larger over time. Therefore, the present invention starts to monitor the odor value of the enclosed space of the cleaning equipment after the cleaning equipment has completed the work for a predetermined time, which can minimize the influence of the detergent odor.

[0030] Specifically, the predetermined duration may be 8 hours.

[0031] Optionally, the cleaning device is a washing machine, and the odor sensor is arranged between the outer barrel and the inner barrel of the washing barrel of the washing machine. Because dirt accumulation and bacterial breeding mainly occur between the outer barrel and the inner barrel, the odor sensor is arranged between the outer barrel and the inner barrel in the enclosed space of the cleaning device, so that the odor monitoring can be more accurate and timely.

[0032] Optionally, the odor sensor can be detachably installed between the outer barrel and the inner barrel of the washing barrel to facilitate calibration and maintenance of the odor sensor.

[0033] Optionally, the odor sensor may be a total volatile organic compound (TVOC) sensor.

[0034] Step 102: If the current odor value of the enclosed space is greater than the first odor value threshold, the electrolysis device and the heating device are used to prepare heated electrolyzed water in the enclosed space, so as to facilitate further use of the heated electrolyzed water to sterilize the cleaning equipment.

[0035] Specifically, the electrolysis device includes an electrolysis anode and an electrolysis cathode. When the electrolysis device is powered on, cations in the washing water move to the electrolysis cathode, absorb electrons, undergo a reduction reaction, and generate new substances; anions in the washing water move to the electrolysis anode, release electrons, undergo an oxidation reaction, and generate new substances. In this way, the aforementioned active substances such as active oxygen, active chlorine, and hydroxyl free radicals can be electrolyzed and generated in the washing water.

[0036] Optionally, the heating device can be an electric heating tube, for example, a glass heating tube, a stainless steel heating tube, a quartz heating tube, a ceramic heating tube, etc.

[0037] In an optional specific embodiment of the present invention, the process of preparing heated electrolyzed water in a closed space using an electrolysis device and a heating device includes: controlling the electrolysis device to operate within an electrolysis period, and controlling the heating device to operate within a heating period, and the electrolysis period does not overlap with the heating period.

[0038] Specifically, when the electrolysis device and the heating device are working at the same time, the service life of the electrolysis electrode will be shortened due to the thermal effect of the heating device, and may even cause current breakdown, resulting in the electrolysis device being unable to work normally. By controlling the electrolysis device and the heating device to work at different time periods, the impact of the thermal effect of the heating device on the electrolysis device can be effectively reduced, which is conducive to extending the service life of the electrolysis device.

[0039] Optionally, the electrolysis period includes a plurality of electrolysis sub-periods, and the heating period includes a plurality of heating sub-periods; each electrolysis sub-period and each heating sub-period are arranged in an alternating cycle.

[0040] Specifically, the above-mentioned electrolysis time periods and heating time periods may be set as follows: four consecutive time periods, the first time period, the second time period, the third time period and the fourth time period, are set as the electrolysis time period, the heating time period, the electrolysis time period and the heating time period in sequence.

[0041] Specifically, such alternating cycle of setting the electrolysis time period and the heating time period can help to extend the overall heating time of the washing water, so that the heated washing water can be better utilized to remove stubborn stains attached to the walls of the enclosed space.

[0042] Step 103, using heated electrolyzed water to self-clean the enclosed space.

[0043] In this way, the cleaning equipment can be automatically and timely sterilized using heated electrolyzed water, avoiding the accumulation of dirt in a confined space for too long, which may lead to excessive bacterial growth and secondary pollution when washing items, affecting the health of users. It can also avoid the situation where users find that the cleaning equipment has an odor when they need to use it and then have to perform the cleaning operation, which may delay the user's use needs, thereby improving the user experience.

[0044] The following is a further introduction to the cleaning methods of cleaning equipment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the cleaning method of the cleaning equipment of the present invention may include:

[0045] Step 201, using an odor sensor to monitor the odor value of the enclosed space to obtain the current odor value of the enclosed space.

[0046] Step 202, determining whether the current odor value of the enclosed space is greater than a preset first odor value threshold.

[0047] Step 203: If the current odor value of the enclosed space is greater than the first odor value threshold, the working parameters of the electrolysis device and the working parameters of the heating device are set according to the current odor value of the enclosed space.

[0048] Specifically, the working parameters of the electrolysis device may include at least one of electrolysis power, electrolysis time and concentration of highly active oxidizing substances.

[0049] Specifically, the operating parameters of the above-mentioned heating device may include at least one of heating power, heating time and target water temperature.

[0050] Optionally, the operating parameters of the electrolysis device include an electrolysis time parameter, and the operating parameters of the heating device include a target water temperature parameter.

[0051] In an optional specific embodiment of the present invention, the process of setting the working parameters of the electrolysis device and the working parameters of the heating device according to the current odor value of the enclosed space includes:

[0052] If the current odor value of the enclosed space is less than the preset second odor value threshold, the electrolysis time parameter is set to the first time value, and the target water temperature parameter is set to the first temperature value; if the current odor value of the enclosed space is not less than the second odor value threshold, the electrolysis time parameter is set to the second time value, and the target water temperature parameter is set to the second temperature value; optionally, if the current odor value of the enclosed space is not less than the second odor value threshold, the electrolysis time parameter is set to the second time value, and the target water temperature parameter is set to the first temperature value.

[0053] Optionally, if the current odor value of the enclosed space is not less than the second odor value threshold, the electrolysis time parameter is set to the first time value, and the target water temperature parameter is set to the second temperature value.

[0054] Among them, the second odor value threshold is not less than the first odor value threshold, the second time value is not less than the first time value, and the second temperature value is not less than the first temperature value.

[0055] Specifically, extending the electrolysis time or increasing the target water temperature of the washing water can both increase the intensity of cleaning dirt and disinfecting bacteria. Therefore, if the current odor value of the enclosed space is not less than the second odor value threshold, it means that compared with the enclosed space of the cleaning equipment when the odor value is less than the second odor value threshold, the amount of dirt accumulated in the enclosed space of the cleaning equipment is more and more bacteria are bred. Therefore, it is necessary to use a longer electrolysis time and / or a higher washing water temperature to clean the enclosed space of the cleaning equipment; if the odor value of the enclosed space of the cleaning equipment is less than the second odor value threshold, it is necessary to use a shorter electrolysis time and a lower washing water temperature, which can save electricity on the one hand and increase cleaning efficiency on the other.

[0056] Step 204, using the set electrolysis device and heating device to prepare heated electrolyzed water in the closed space, and using the heated electrolyzed water to self-clean the closed space of the cleaning equipment.

[0057] The embodiment of the present invention sets different working parameters for the electrolysis device and the heating device according to the different degrees of dirtiness and bacteria growth in the enclosed space of the cleaning equipment reflected by different odor values, thereby ensuring the cleaning effect of the enclosed space of the cleaning equipment under the premise of saving electricity.

[0058] The following is a further introduction to the cleaning methods of cleaning equipment, such as Figure 3 As shown, Figure 1 Step 103 in the method may include the following steps:

[0059] Step 1031, using heated electrolyzed water to clean the enclosed space of the cleaning equipment.

[0060] Specifically, the cleaning time can be set according to the size of the current enclosed space odor value.

[0061] Specifically, the greater the current odor value of the enclosed space, the longer the cleaning time can be set.

[0062] Step 1032, using a turbidity sensor to detect the turbidity of the cleaning wastewater obtained by cleaning, and judging whether the enclosed space of the cleaning equipment is clean based on the turbidity of the cleaning wastewater.

[0063] Specifically, whether the enclosed space of the cleaning equipment is clean can be judged based on the turbidity of the cleaning wastewater and a preset turbidity threshold.

[0064] Specifically, if the turbidity of the cleaning wastewater is greater than the turbidity threshold, it is determined that the enclosed space of the cleaning equipment is not cleaned; if the turbidity of the cleaning wastewater is less than the turbidity threshold, it is determined that the enclosed space of the cleaning equipment has been cleaned.

[0065] Step 1033, if the enclosed space of the cleaning device is not cleaned, return to execute the process of preparing heated electrolyzed water in the enclosed space using the electrolysis device and the heating device until the enclosed space of the cleaning device is cleaned.

[0066] Specifically, Figure 4 As shown, if the enclosed space of the cleaning equipment is not cleaned, the electrolysis device and the heating device are used again to prepare reheated electrolyzed water in the enclosed space, and the enclosed space of the cleaning equipment is cleaned again using the reheated electrolyzed water. The turbidity of the re-cleaning wastewater obtained by the re-cleaning is detected by a turbidity sensor, and whether the enclosed space of the cleaning equipment is cleaned is judged based on the turbidity of the re-cleaning wastewater, until the enclosed space of the cleaning equipment is clean.

[0067] Specifically, if the enclosed space is not cleaned, there must be dirt in the washing water. The embodiment of the present invention detects the turbidity of the washing wastewater obtained by cleaning the enclosed space of the cleaning equipment to grasp the cleaning condition of the enclosed space of the cleaning equipment, so as to ensure the cleaning effect of the enclosed space of the cleaning equipment.

[0068] Figure 5 1 is a structural diagram of a cleaning device for cleaning a cleaning device provided in an embodiment of the present invention, and the device is suitable for executing a cleaning method for cleaning a cleaning device provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 5 As shown, the device can be integrated into a cleaning device in which the working area is a confined space, including an odor sensor, a heating device, and an electrolysis device, and can specifically include:

[0069] The odor monitoring module 501 is used to monitor whether there is odor in the confined space using an odor sensor, so as to timely detect the presence of odor in the confined space, thereby facilitating the immediate use of heated electrolyzed water for sterilization and cleaning.

[0070] Optionally, the above-mentioned odor monitoring module 501 can be specifically used to monitor the odor value of the enclosed space using an odor sensor to obtain the current odor value of the enclosed space; to judge whether the current odor value of the enclosed space is greater than a preset first odor value threshold; and to judge that there is odor in the enclosed space when the current odor value of the enclosed space is greater than the first odor value threshold.

[0071] The heated electrolyzed water preparation module 502 is used to prepare heated electrolyzed water in the enclosed space by using an electrolysis device and a heating device if odor is detected in the enclosed space, so as to facilitate further use of the heated electrolyzed water to sterilize the cleaning equipment.

[0072] Optionally, the above-mentioned heating electrolysis water preparation module 502 can be specifically used to control the electrolysis device to work in an electrolysis period, and control the heating device to work in a heating period, and the electrolysis period does not overlap with the heating period.

[0073] Optionally, the electrolysis period includes a plurality of electrolysis sub-periods, and the heating period includes a plurality of heating sub-periods; each electrolysis sub-period and each heating sub-period are arranged in an alternating cycle.

[0074] The self-cleaning module 503 is used to self-clean the enclosed space by using heated electrolyzed water. It can automatically and timely use heated electrolyzed water to sterilize the cleaning equipment, so as to avoid the accumulation of dirt in the enclosed space of the cleaning equipment for too long, resulting in excessive bacterial growth, causing secondary pollution when washing clothes, and affecting the health of users; and it can also avoid the user finding that the cleaning equipment has odor when the user needs to use it, and then perform the cleaning operation, which will delay the user's use needs, thereby improving the user experience.

[0075] Optionally, the self-cleaning module 503 can be specifically used to clean a confined space using heated electrolyzed water; use a turbidity sensor to detect the turbidity of the cleaning wastewater obtained by cleaning, and judge whether the confined space is cleaned according to the turbidity of the cleaning wastewater; and if the confined space is not cleaned, return to execute the preparation of heated electrolyzed water in the current confined space using the electrolysis device and the heating device until the confined space is cleaned.

[0076] Optionally, the cleaning device of the cleaning equipment of the present invention further includes a parameter setting module for setting the working parameters of the electrolysis device and the working parameters of the heating device according to the current odor value of the enclosed space.

[0077] Optionally, the operating parameters of the electrolysis device include an electrolysis time parameter, and the operating parameters of the heating device include a target water temperature parameter.

[0078] Optionally, the above-mentioned parameter setting module can be specifically used to set the electrolysis time parameter to the first time value and the target water temperature parameter to the first temperature value if the current odor value of the enclosed space is less than a preset second odor value threshold; if the current odor value of the enclosed space is not less than the second odor value threshold, the electrolysis time parameter is set to the second time value and the target water temperature parameter is set to the second temperature value; wherein the second odor value threshold is not less than the first odor value threshold, the second time value is not less than the first time value, and the second temperature value is not less than the first temperature value.

[0079] Optionally, the cleaning device of the cleaning equipment of the present invention further includes a time control module, which is used to control the odor monitoring module to start working after a predetermined time after the cleaning equipment completes its work.

[0080] The device of the embodiment of the present invention can first use the odor sensor to monitor the odor value in the closed space of the cleaning equipment, so as to timely judge the dirt accumulation and bacteria breeding in the closed space of the cleaning equipment according to the odor value. If the odor value exceeds a certain value, it means that the accumulation of dirt and the amount of bacteria bred in the closed space of the cleaning equipment have reached a level that may affect the health of the user and need to be cleaned. Then, the high temperature of heated electrolyzed water and the active oxygen, active chlorine, and hydroxyl free radicals generated by electrolysis are used to disinfect the bred bacteria, and the active oxygen, active chlorine, and hydroxyl free radicals generated by electrolysis are used to decompose the dirt, and then further remove it. In addition, the cleaning condition of the closed space of the cleaning equipment can be grasped by detecting the turbidity of the cleaning wastewater obtained by cleaning the closed space of the cleaning equipment, so as to ensure the cleaning effect of the closed space of the cleaning equipment.
