[0001] The present application belongs to the field of computer technology, and specifically relates to an information processing method for cleaning equipment, cleaning equipment and a storage medium. Background Art

[0002] Cleaning equipment is used to perform cleaning work on the surface to be cleaned. When the cleaning equipment is performing work tasks, the user usually needs to understand the status of the cleaning equipment in order to obtain the working status information of the cleaning equipment, thereby improving the use effect of the cleaning equipment. Among them, the working status information includes the installation information of the working components, the amount of liquid in the solution barrel, etc.

[0003] A typical cleaning device provides an information display method, in which a display screen is installed on the cleaning device to display working status information of the cleaning device through the display screen.

[0004] However, when a display screen is added to the cleaning device, a circuit for driving the display screen also needs to be added to the cleaning device, which leads to a problem of high cost of the cleaning device. Summary of the invention

[0005] The technical problems to be solved by the present application include the problem of high cost of the cleaning equipment due to the need to add a circuit for driving the display screen to the cleaning equipment when adding a display screen to the cleaning equipment.

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, on the one hand, the present application provides an information processing method of a cleaning device, wherein the cleaning device has a floor brush, and the floor brush is provided with a light-emitting module, and the light-emitting module illuminates the surface to be cleaned, and the method comprises:

[0011] Get the target type of the function information to be displayed;

[0012] The function information of the target type is acquired from at least two types of function information.

[0013] Optionally, the target type of obtaining the function information to be displayed includes:

[0014] Read the pre-stored target type;

[0015] or,

[0016] In response to receiving the information type switching instruction, a target type indicated by the information type switching instruction is acquired.

[0017] Optionally,

[0018] Before obtaining the function information executed by the cleaning device, the method further includes: obtaining a display mode identifier; the display mode identifier is used to indicate whether the function information is indicated by the light emitting module;

[0019] The obtaining of the function information executed by the cleaning device includes: if the display mode identifier indicates that the function information is indicated by the light-emitting module, obtaining the function information executed by the cleaning device.

[0020] Optionally, obtaining the display mode identifier includes:

[0021] Reading the pre-stored display mode identifier corresponding to the function information;

[0022] or,

[0023] Obtain a display mode setting instruction, and obtain a display mode identifier corresponding to the display mode setting instruction.

[0024] Optionally, the function information performed by the cleaning device includes at least one of: progress information, component status information of the cleaning device, and dirt information of the surface to be cleaned, and different function information corresponds to different display modes.

[0025] Optionally, the light-emitting module includes a plurality of light-emitting units; the display mode includes at least one of the number of light-emitting units, the color of the light-emitting units, the brightness of the light-emitting units, and the flashing frequency of the light-emitting units.

[0026] Optionally, when the cleaning device performs cleaning or self-cleaning, the component status information includes at least one of the following:

[0027] Liquid volume information of the solution barrel in the cleaning device;

[0028] The degree of dirtiness of the floor brush of the cleaning device;

[0029] the installation status of the floor brush;

[0030] The power information of the power supply component in the cleaning device.

[0031] On the other hand, the present application also provides a cleaning device, the cleaning device comprising:

[0032] A device body, wherein the device body is connected to a floor brush;

[0033] A solution barrel disposed on the device body;

[0034] A light-emitting module is arranged on the floor brush, and the light-emitting module illuminates the surface to be cleaned;

[0035] A processor connected to the floor brush and the light-emitting module, and a memory connected to the processor, wherein a program is stored in the memory, and when the processor executes the program, it is used to implement the information processing method of the cleaning device described in the above aspect.

[0036] On the other hand, the present application also provides a computer-readable storage medium, in which a program is stored. When the program is executed by a processor, it is used to implement the information processing method of the cleaning device described in the above aspects.

[0037] The technical solution provided by the present application has at least the following advantages: by responding to the start-up of the cleaning device, the function information executed by the cleaning device is obtained, the display mode corresponding to the function information is obtained, and the light-emitting module is controlled to display the function information according to the display mode; it can solve the problem of high cost of the cleaning device caused by adding a display screen to the cleaning device and also adding a circuit for driving the display screen to the cleaning device; because different function information can be displayed through the conventional light-emitting module of the cleaning device, there is no need to add a display screen and a circuit, so the cost of the cleaning equipment can be reduced.

[0038] Secondly, since the user can confirm the currently displayed function information according to different display modes, the use effect of the cleaning device can be improved.

[0039] Again, the light-emitting module displays functional information more intuitively than the display screen, so it can also improve the intuitiveness of the cleaning equipment and enhance the user experience.

[0040] In addition, in the case where the functional information includes at least two types, obtaining the target type can accurately obtain the functional information that the user expects to be displayed, thereby improving the use effect of the cleaning device and enhancing the user experience.

[0042] In addition, before obtaining the functional information of the second function, the display mode identifier of the second function is obtained to determine whether to indicate the functional information through the light-emitting module according to the display mode identifier. This can avoid the waste of resources when display is not needed, and can also flexibly adjust the time when the light-emitting module is activated. Therefore, the intelligence level of the cleaning equipment can be improved.

[0043] In addition, the functional information of the second function includes at least one of: progress information, component status information of the cleaning device, and dirt information of the surface to be cleaned, that is, multiple functional information can be displayed through the same light-emitting module, thereby improving the utilization rate of the light-emitting module.

[0045] In addition, the display method includes at least one of the number of light-emitting units, the color of the light-emitting units, the brightness of the light-emitting units, and the flashing frequency of the light-emitting units, which can improve the subjectivity of the display method.

[0046] In addition, different component status information can also be displayed using the light-emitting module, which is convenient for users to observe and can also improve the utilization rate of the light-emitting module. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0055] The technical solution of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments. The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in conjunction with the embodiments. It should be noted that the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0056] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of this application and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence.

[0057] In the present application, unless otherwise specified, the directional words used, such as "up, down, top, bottom", usually refer to the directions shown in the drawings, or to the components themselves in the vertical, perpendicular or gravity directions; similarly, for ease of understanding and description, "inside and outside" refer to the inside and outside relative to the outline of each component itself, but the above-mentioned directional words are not used to limit the present application.

[0058] In the present application, the cleaning device 100 refers to a device that has the ability to clean the surface to be cleaned. Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a cleaning device 100 provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 It can be seen that the cleaning device 100 at least includes: a device body, a floor brush 20 and a light emitting module 30. The cleaning device 100 includes but is not limited to a floor scrubber, a floor sweeper, a vacuum cleaner, etc., and this embodiment does not limit the type of the cleaning device 100.

[0059] The device body includes a fuselage, which is used to package and support other components.

[0060] Optionally, the device body further comprises a handle assembly detachably connected to the body. When the handle assembly is connected to the body, the user can drive the cleaning device 100 to move by applying a thrust to the handle assembly.

[0061] Typically, a floor brush 20 is installed on the cleaning device 100. Figure 2 The floor brush 20 includes a cleaning member 23 and a housing 21. The cleaning member 23 is connected to the device body, and the cleaning member 23 is suitable for contacting the surface to be cleaned. When the cleaning device 100 is working, the cleaning member rotates.

[0062] Schematically, the cleaning member 23 includes a roller and fluff arranged on the roller. After the fluff is separated from the surface to be cleaned, dirt on the surface to be cleaned can be adsorbed on the fluff surface to clean the surface to be cleaned. The cleaning member 23 includes but is not limited to: a roller brush, a hair brush, etc., and the implementation method of the cleaning member 23 is not specified in this embodiment.

[0063] Optionally, the number of the cleaning members 23 may be one or at least two. When the number of the cleaning members 23 is at least two, the types of different cleaning members 23 may be different or the same, and the types of cleaning members 23 may be different or the same.

[0064] Optionally, the floor brush 20 further includes an upper cover 22, and the cleaning member 23 is accommodated in an accommodation space formed by the housing 21 and the upper cover 22. The upper cover 22 is used to cover a portion of the surface of the cleaning member 23 to prevent dirt on the cleaning member 23 from splashing during the rotation of the cleaning member 23.

[0065] The floor brush 20 is also provided with a driving member, which is used to drive the cleaning member 23 to rotate. Optionally, the driving member includes a driving motor.

[0066] In order to improve the cleaning effect, optionally, a solution barrel is further provided on the machine body, and a cleaning medium is placed in the solution barrel. The cleaning medium includes but is not limited to clean water, cleaning solution, etc., and this embodiment does not limit the implementation method of the cleaning medium.

[0067] Optionally, a water volume detector is provided in the solution barrel for detecting the liquid volume of the cleaning medium in the solution barrel.

[0068] A water outlet pipe is also provided inside the body, and the water outlet pipe is connected to the solution barrel and the floor brush 20. A water divider 41 is provided at one end of the water outlet pipe connected to the floor brush 20. The water divider 41 includes at least one nozzle 411 and a water outlet, and a water pump is provided in the water outlet. When the cleaning device 100 is working, the cleaning medium in the solution barrel flows to the water outlet through the water outlet pipe under the pumping action of the water pump, and then enters the water divider 41 through the water outlet and is sprayed on the cleaning member 23 and the surface to be cleaned through the nozzle 411. The cleaning medium sprayed on the surface to be cleaned can dissolve the stubborn stains on the surface to be cleaned in advance, and then the wet cleaning member 23 is used to rotate and clean the surface to be cleaned, which can improve the cleaning effect of the cleaning member 23.

[0069] Since there will be residual sewage after cleaning the surface to be cleaned with a cleaning medium, optionally, a suction component is also provided on the floor brush 20, which is used to suck the residual sewage and dirt on the surface to be cleaned after the cleaning member 23 cleans the surface to be cleaned into a recovery bucket to achieve further cleaning of the surface to be cleaned.

[0070] Specifically, a sewage suction port 511 is formed on the housing 21, a suction pipe 51 connecting the sewage suction port 511 and the recovery bucket is formed in the floor brush 20, and a suction motor is also provided on the floor brush 20. When the cleaning device 100 is working, the cleaning member 23 rotates to clean the surface to be cleaned to generate sewage, and at the same time, the suction motor drives the suction assembly to operate. At this time, the sewage and the dirt on the surface to be cleaned are sucked into the suction pipe 51 through the sewage suction port 511, and finally rolled into the recovery bucket, so that the dirt residue and bacterial growth can be effectively avoided, and the cleaning effect is further improved.

[0071] After the cleaning member 23 has finished cleaning, dirt will remain on the cleaning member 23, which will cause bacteria to breed and produce odor. Therefore, the cleaning member 23 needs to be self-cleaned.

[0072] Usually, when the cleaning member 23 is self-cleaned, the cleaning device 100 needs to be docked with the base station. The base station is used to provide a self-cleaning function for the cleaning member 23. Specifically, a cleaning tank is provided in the base station. The cleaning tank is used to accommodate the cleaning member 23 when the cleaning device 100 is docked with the base station. At this time, the cleaning member 23 can perform self-cleaning in the cleaning tank.

[0073] In other embodiments, the base station can also provide other auxiliary functions for the cleaning device 100, such as: charging the cleaning device 100, adding water to the solution barrel in the cleaning device 100, draining the recovery barrel in the cleaning device 100, etc. This embodiment does not limit the auxiliary functions provided by the base station.

[0074] By executing the self-cleaning function to clean the cleaning member 23, the dirt remaining on the cleaning member 23 can be removed to prevent bacteria from growing, thereby improving the use effect of the cleaning device 100 and improving the user experience.

[0075] When the dirt on the surface to be cleaned is serious, a single cleaning cannot completely remove the dirt, and the accuracy of manual judgment of whether the dirt on the surface to be cleaned has been removed is poor, which may lead to a poor cleaning effect of the cleaning device 100. Optionally, a detection component is also provided on the floor brush 20, which is used to detect the degree of dirt on the surface to be cleaned.

[0076] It should be noted that the surface to be cleaned includes the ground, the wall, or the surface of the cleaning member 23. Based on the different functions of the cleaning device 100, the surface to be cleaned is also different. Specifically, when the cleaning device 100 performs the self-cleaning function, the surface to be cleaned includes the surface of the cleaning member 23; when the cleaning device 100 performs the cleaning function, the surface to be cleaned includes the ground, the wall, etc. This embodiment does not limit the implementation method of the surface to be cleaned.

[0077] Specifically, the detection component includes a sewage detector, which is arranged inside the suction pipe 51. Since dirt and sewage will enter the recovery bucket through the suction pipe 51 when the cleaning device 100 performs a cleaning task, the degree of dirtiness of the sewage flowing through the suction channel can be detected to indirectly obtain the degree of dirtiness of the surface to be cleaned.

[0078] The sewage detector includes: a turbidity meter, a pH meter, etc. This embodiment does not limit the implementation method of the sewage detector.

[0079] In actual implementation, the detection component also includes a dirt detector that directly detects the dirtiness of the surface to be cleaned. In this case, the detection component detects the surface to be cleaned in a manner including but not limited to: optical, acoustic, electrical, etc. This embodiment does not limit the detection object and detection method of the detection component.

[0080] By using the detection component, the degree of dirtiness of the surface to be cleaned can be accurately determined, and based on the degree of dirtiness, it can be selected whether to clean again, extend or shorten the cleaning time, etc. to achieve the cleaning of the surface to be cleaned, thereby improving the cleaning effect.

[0081] Optionally, a light emitting module 30 is further provided on the floor brush 20 , and the light emitting module 30 illuminates the surface to be cleaned, that is, the cleaning device 100 realizes a lighting function based on the light emitting module 30 .

[0082] Optionally, the light emitting module 30 includes at least two groups of light emitting units, wherein the light emitting units may be lamp beads, lamp tubes, etc., and this embodiment does not limit the implementation of the light emitting module 30. Specifically, the light emitting module 30 is disposed on the upper cover 22, and the light emitting module 30 includes at least two groups of light emitting units to realize the illumination of the surface to be cleaned and improve the visibility of the surface to be cleaned.

[0083] During the use of the cleaning device 100, if the user cannot obtain the function information performed by the cleaning device 100, the cleaning effect may be poor due to insufficient power or insufficient liquid of the cleaning device 100, or the cleaning device 100 may have completed the cleaning task, but the user still drives the cleaning device 100 to repeatedly perform the cleaning task, resulting in a waste of resources. The function information is used to indicate the device status of the cleaning device when the cleaning device 100 performs the device function.

[0084] In view of the problem, a typical cleaning device 100 is equipped with a display screen to display the function information of the cleaning device 100. However, when the cleaning device 100 is equipped with a display screen, a display circuit connected to the display screen needs to be added to the cleaning device 100, and the cost of adding the display screen and the display circuit is high.

[0085] In this embodiment, the light emitting module 30 is also used to display the function information performed by the cleaning device 100. The device functions include the cleaning function and the self-cleaning function of the cleaning device 100.

[0086] The function information includes at least one of progress information, component status information of the cleaning device 100, and dirt information of the surface to be cleaned.

[0087] Among them, the progress information refers to the execution progress of the device function currently being executed; the dirt information of the surface to be cleaned refers to the dirtiness of the surface to be cleaned; the component status information of the cleaning device 100 is used to indicate the current status of each component that needs to be used after the device function currently being executed is started. Specifically, when the device function executed by the cleaning device is a cleaning function or a self-cleaning function, the component status information includes at least one of the liquid volume information of the solution barrel in the cleaning device 100, the dirtiness of the floor brush 20 on the cleaning device 100, the installation status of the floor brush 20, or the power information of the power supply component in the cleaning device 100.

[0088] Different functional information corresponds to different display methods. Specifically, taking the light-emitting module 30 as a light-emitting unit as an example, the light-emitting module 30 includes at least two groups of light-emitting units, and the display method includes at least one of the number of light-emitting units, the color of the light-emitting units, the brightness of the light-emitting units, and the flashing frequency of the light-emitting units.

[0089] The cleaning device 100 is usually provided with a light emitting module 30 for lighting, and by changing the display mode of the light emitting module 30 to indicate different functional information, the light emitting module 30 can be reused. Therefore, the cleaning device 100 does not need to add a new display screen and a display circuit corresponding to the display screen, and different functional information can be displayed through the light emitting module 30, so the cost of the cleaning device 100 can be reduced.

[0090] Furthermore, since the user can confirm the currently displayed function information according to different display modes, and thus charge the cleaning device 100 or add cleaning media to the solution barrel in time according to the function information, the use effect of the cleaning device 100 can also be improved.

[0091] The cleaning device 100 is also provided with a timer. When the display mode includes the flashing frequency of the light emitting unit, the cleaning device 100 controls the flashing frequency of the light emitting unit through the time signal output by the timer.

[0092] In response to the proposed technical problems and solutions, in this embodiment, the cleaning device 100 is used to: obtain functional information of the cleaning device in response to the cleaning device 100 executing startup; obtain the display mode corresponding to the functional information; and control the light-emitting module 30 to display the functional information according to the display mode.

[0093] The cleaning device 100 is provided with a processing system, which includes a main control board, which is used to perform overall control of the cleaning device 100, including controlling the cleaning device 100 to perform a cleaning function, controlling the cleaning device 100 to perform a self-cleaning function, controlling the light-emitting module 30 to perform a lighting function, and controlling the light-emitting module 30 to display the function information performed by the cleaning device in a display method corresponding to the function information performed by the cleaning device.

[0094] The main control panel includes a light control panel, which is used to control the light module 30 to perform a lighting function and control the light module 30 to display the function information performed by the cleaning equipment in a display mode corresponding to the function information performed by the cleaning equipment.

[0095] In real-time implementation, the main control board also includes a cleaning control board, a driving control board, etc. This embodiment does not limit the implementation method of the main control board.

[0096] In this embodiment, by responding to the start-up of the cleaning device, the function information executed by the cleaning device is obtained, the display mode corresponding to the function information is obtained, and the light-emitting module is controlled to display the function information according to the display mode; the problem of high cost of the cleaning device caused by adding a display screen to the cleaning device and also adding a circuit for driving the display screen to the cleaning device can be solved; since different function information can be displayed by the conventional light-emitting module of the cleaning device, there is no need to add a display screen and a circuit, so the cost of the cleaning equipment can be reduced.

[0097] Secondly, since the user can confirm the currently displayed function information according to different display modes, the use effect of the cleaning device can be improved.

[0098] Again, the light-emitting module displays functional information more intuitively than the display screen, so it can also improve the intuitiveness of the cleaning equipment and enhance the user experience.

[0099] Next, the information processing method of the cleaning device provided by the present application is introduced. The following embodiment uses this method for Figure 1 In the cleaning device shown, the method is specifically used in the controller of the cleaning device as an example for explanation. In actual implementation, the method can also be used in other devices that are communicatively connected to the cleaning device, such as: for user terminals, or servers, etc., wherein user terminals include but are not limited to: mobile phones, computers, tablet computers, wearable devices, etc. This embodiment does not limit the implementation methods of other devices and user terminals.

[0100] The communication connection method may be wired communication or wireless communication, and the wireless communication method may be short-distance communication or wireless communication, etc. This embodiment does not limit the communication method between the cleaning device and other devices.

[0101] Figure 3 This is a flow chart of a control method for a cleaning device provided by an embodiment of the present application, the method comprising at least the following steps:

[0102] Step 301: in response to the start-up of the cleaning device, obtain function information performed by the cleaning device.

[0103] Since what needs to be understood is the state of the cleaning device when it is performing a work task, it is necessary to obtain the function information performed by the cleaning device after the cleaning device is started.

[0104] In the case where the function information includes one type, the function information obtained is the function information that the user expects to be displayed; however, after the cleaning device is started, many components need to be used, so the function information usually includes at least two types. In this case, the function information that the user expects to obtain needs to be obtained.

[0105] Optionally, the function information generally includes at least two, and obtaining the function information executed by the cleaning device includes: obtaining a target type of the function information to be displayed; and obtaining function information of the target type from at least two types of function information.

[0106] The function information to be displayed refers to the function information that the user expects to be displayed, and the target type is the type of function information that the user expects to be displayed.

[0107] Optionally, the target type of the function information to be displayed is obtained, including but not limited to the following two methods:

[0108] The first one is to read the pre-stored target type.

[0109] Specifically, the cleaning device pre-stores the type of functional information that the light-emitting module should display after the cleaning device is started, so the pre-stored target type can be read.

[0110] The pre-stored target type may be set by the user or acquired from other devices. This embodiment does not limit the method for acquiring the pre-stored target type.

[0111] However, in the case where the cleaning device executes at least two types of function information, the type of pre-stored function information may not be the target type that the user wants to obtain, so there is also the following second method.

[0112] The second method is to obtain the target type indicated by the information type switching instruction in response to receiving the information type switching instruction.

[0113] Specifically, a switch button is provided on the cleaning device. When a trigger operation acting on the switch button is received, the cleaning device receives an information type switch instruction and receives a target type indicated by the information type switch instruction.

[0114] Among them, at least two switch buttons can be set on the cleaning device, and different switch buttons indicate different types of functional information; or, a switch button is set on the cleaning device, and after the switch button is triggered, the received information type switching instruction points to the next type of functional information.

[0115] In actual implementation, the information type switching instruction may also be obtained from other devices that are communicatively connected to the cleaning device. This embodiment does not limit the method for obtaining the information type switching instruction.

[0116] By switching the type of functional information and flexibly selecting the functional information to be displayed, the flexibility of the cleaning device can be improved, thereby improving the intelligence level of the cleaning device.

[0117] When the cleaning equipment is performing its work tasks, there may be a situation where it is not necessary to start the light-emitting module to indicate functional information. In this case, starting the light-emitting module will lead to a waste of resources. Therefore, it is necessary to determine whether it is necessary to start the light-emitting module to indicate functional information.

[0118] Optionally, before obtaining the function information executed by the cleaning device, the method further includes: obtaining a display mode identifier executed by the cleaning device. Obtaining the function information executed by the cleaning device includes: if the display mode identifier indicates that the function information is indicated by the light emitting module, then obtaining the function information executed by the cleaning device.

[0119] The display mode identifier is used to indicate whether the function information is indicated through the light-emitting module.

[0120] According to the application scenario requirements and user needs, you can flexibly choose whether to enable the light module indication function information, which can not only improve the flexibility of the cleaning equipment, but also reduce resource waste.

[0121] Obtain the display mode identifier executed by the cleaning device, including but not limited to the following two methods:

[0122] The first method is to read the display mode identifier corresponding to the pre-stored function information.

[0123] Among them, the pre-stored cleaning device executing the corresponding display mode identifier can be the default display mode identifier of the cleaning device, or it can be the display mode identifier stored after user adjustment. This embodiment does not limit the implementation method of the pre-stored cleaning device executing the corresponding display mode identifier.

[0124] Since the preset display mode identifier cannot satisfy all application scenarios and users, the method for obtaining the display mode identifier executed by the cleaning device also includes the second method described below.

[0125] The second method is to obtain a display mode setting instruction and obtain a display mode identifier corresponding to the display mode setting instruction.

[0126] Specifically, a mode button is provided on the cleaning device. When a trigger operation acting on the mode button is received, a display mode setting instruction is received, and a display mode identifier corresponding to the display mode setting instruction is obtained.

[0127] In actual implementation, the information type switching instruction may also be obtained from other devices that are communicatively connected to the cleaning device. This embodiment does not limit the method for obtaining the information type switching instruction.

[0128] Step 302: Obtain the display mode corresponding to the function information.

[0129] Different function information executed by the same cleaning device corresponds to different display modes, and the same function information executed by different cleaning devices corresponds to the same or different display modes.

[0130] Specifically, when the cleaning device performs a cleaning function, the function information includes progress information and dirt information of the surface to be cleaned. At this time, the progress information is represented by the number of light-emitting units that are lit. The more light-emitting units that are lit, the faster the progress. The dirt information is represented by the brightness of the light-emitting units that are lit. The brighter the red light-emitting units, the dirtier the surface to be cleaned.

[0131] When the cleaning device performs a self-cleaning function, the function information includes progress information and dirt information of the surface to be cleaned. At this time, the progress information display method of the self-cleaning function can be the same as the progress information display method of the cleaning function, and the dirt information display method of the self-cleaning function can be the same as the dirt information display method of the cleaning function.

[0132] Step 303, controlling the light-emitting module to display the function information in a display mode.

[0133] Optionally, different functional information is distinguished by at least one of different numbers of light-emitting units, colors of light-emitting units, brightness of light-emitting units, and flashing frequencies of light-emitting units, or a combination thereof.

[0134] Illustratively, the progress information may be indicated by a first ratio of the number of lit white light-emitting units to the total number of light-emitting units.

[0135] The first ratio of the number of white light-emitting units that have been lit to the total number of light-emitting units is approximately equal to the second ratio of the execution time of the cleaning device to the total execution time of the cleaning device. Therefore, the number of light-emitting units that should be lit in white can be calculated by the total execution time, the execution time, and the total number of light-emitting units.

[0136] It should be noted that, since a single light-emitting unit is a whole, there is no situation where half of the light-emitting unit is lit, so there will be a difference between the first ratio and the second ratio, but the difference is infinitely close to zero.

[0137] In one example, the method for acquiring the total execution time of the cleaning device includes: acquiring a pre-stored total execution time; and determining the total execution time according to the degree of dirtiness of the surface to be cleaned.

[0138] In actual implementation, the total execution time may also be input by a user or obtained from other devices. This embodiment does not limit the method for obtaining the total execution time.

[0139] Specifically, the process of the light-emitting module displaying progress information is as follows: Figure 4 As shown, the cleaning device includes a main control board, and the main control board includes a light control board. Step 401, the cleaning device starts, and sends a start signal to the main control board and the timer; Step 402, the timer receives the start signal and starts, and calculates the execution time of the cleaning device; Step 403, the main control board receives the start signal and obtains the total execution time of the cleaning device; Step 404, the light control board has executed time, total execution time and total number of light-emitting units, and calculates the number of first light-emitting units that should be lit in white; Step 405, the light-emitting module lights up the light-emitting units of the first number of light-emitting units in white.

[0140] The dirt information of the surface to be cleaned can be displayed by the scrolling color light-emitting units. When the dirt level is low, the light-emitting units start to light up in blue from the first one on the left to the last one, and after lighting up a preset number of light-emitting units, they start to go out from the first one on the left to the last one, and repeat the above process to realize the scrolling indication of dirt information; when the dirt level is medium, the light-emitting units scroll to indicate the dirt information in yellow; when the dirt level is high, the light-emitting units scroll in red.

[0141] The liquid amount information of the solution barrel in the cleaning device can be indicated by a third ratio of the number of lit blue light-emitting units to the total number of light-emitting units.

[0142] The third ratio of the number of blue light-emitting units that have been lit to the total number of light-emitting units is approximately equal to the fourth ratio of the amount of liquid in the solution barrel to the total amount of liquid. Therefore, the number of light-emitting units that should be lit in blue can be calculated based on the amount of liquid in the solution barrel, the total amount of liquid, and the total number of light-emitting units.

[0143] It should be noted that, since a single light-emitting unit is a whole, there is no situation where half of the light-emitting unit is lit, so there will be a difference between the third ratio and the fourth ratio, but the difference is infinitely close to zero.

[0144] Specifically, the process of the light-emitting module displaying the liquid amount information is as follows: Figure 5As shown, taking the cleaning equipment including a main control board, and the main control board including a light-emitting control board as an example, in step 501, the water volume detector detects the remaining liquid volume in the solution barrel; in step 502, the main control board obtains the remaining liquid volume and the total liquid volume of the solution barrel, and determines the percentage ratio of the remaining liquid volume to the total liquid volume; in step 503, the light-emitting control board obtains the pre-stored total number of light-emitting units and the percentage ratio, and calculates the number of second light-emitting units that should be lit in blue; in step 504, the light-emitting module lights up the light-emitting units of the second number of light-emitting units in blue.

[0145] The installation status of the floor brush can be indicated by a flashing colored light unit. The light unit flashes green to indicate that the floor brush is installed; the light unit flashes orange to indicate that the floor brush is not installed.

[0146] The power information of the power supply component in the cleaning device is indicated by a fifth ratio of the number of flashing white light-emitting units to the number of medium light-emitting units.

[0147] The fifth ratio of the number of white light-emitting units that have been flashing and lit to the total number of light-emitting units is approximately equal to the sixth ratio of the remaining power of the power supply component to the total power. Therefore, the number of light-emitting units that should be flashing and lit in white can be calculated based on the remaining power of the power supply component, the total power and the total number of light-emitting units.

[0148] It should be noted that, since a single light-emitting unit is a whole, there is no situation where half of the light-emitting unit is lit, so there will be a difference between the fifth ratio and the sixth ratio, but the difference is infinitely close to zero.

[0149] In actual implementation, different functional information may also be displayed in other ways, and this embodiment does not limit the display method of the functional information.

[0150] In this embodiment, by responding to the start-up of the cleaning device, the function information executed by the cleaning device is obtained, the display mode corresponding to the function information is obtained, and the light-emitting module is controlled to display the function information according to the display mode; the problem of high cost of the cleaning device caused by adding a display screen to the cleaning device and also adding a circuit for driving the display screen to the cleaning device can be solved; since different function information can be displayed by the conventional light-emitting module of the cleaning device, there is no need to add a display screen and a circuit, so the cost of the cleaning equipment can be reduced.

[0151] Secondly, since the user can confirm the currently displayed function information according to different display modes, the use effect of the cleaning device can be improved.

[0152] Again, the light-emitting module displays functional information more intuitively than the display screen, so it can also improve the intuitiveness of the cleaning equipment and enhance the user experience.

[0153] In addition, in the case where the functional information includes at least two types, obtaining the target type can accurately obtain the functional information that the user expects to be displayed, thereby improving the use effect of the cleaning device and enhancing the user experience.

[0154] In addition, by reading a pre-stored target type or responding to an information type switching instruction to obtain the target type indicated by the information type switching instruction, the target type can be flexibly selected according to different needs, thereby improving the flexibility of the cleaning device.

[0155] In addition, before obtaining the function information executed by the cleaning device, the display mode identifier executed by the cleaning device is obtained to determine whether to indicate the function information through the light-emitting module according to the display mode identifier. This can avoid the waste of resources when the display is not needed, and can also flexibly adjust the time when the light-emitting module is activated. Therefore, the intelligence level of the cleaning device can be improved.

[0156] In addition, the functional information performed by the cleaning device includes at least one of progress information, component status information of the cleaning device, and dirt information of the surface to be cleaned, that is, multiple functional information can be displayed through the same light-emitting module, thereby improving the utilization rate of the light-emitting module.

[0157] In addition, different functional information corresponds to different display methods, which can avoid confusion between display methods and thus improve the intuitiveness of the display method.

[0158] In addition, the display method includes at least one of the number of light-emitting units, the color of the light-emitting units, the brightness of the light-emitting units, and the flashing frequency of the light-emitting units, which can improve the subjectivity of the display method.

[0159] In addition, different component status information can also be displayed using the light-emitting module, which is convenient for users to observe and can also improve the utilization rate of the light-emitting module.
