Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of cleaning technology, and in particular to a cleaning device and its drying method, apparatus, medium, and computer program product. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of science and technology, handheld cleaning devices, such as floor scrubbers, are becoming increasingly widely used in daily life, bringing great convenience to people. Currently, base stations are usually equipped with roller brush drying devices, which dry the roller brush and simultaneously allow the rising hot air to dry the body of the handheld cleaner and the base station's wastewater tank. However, due to the long drying distance, the temperature of the hot air is relatively low when it reaches the body or the base station's wastewater tank, resulting in poor drying effect.

[0003] Therefore, handheld cleaners are prone to developing odors and mold during use. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation

[0041] To facilitate understanding of this application, a more complete description will be provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Preferred embodiments of this application are shown in the drawings. However, this application can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to provide a thorough and complete understanding of the disclosure of this application.

[0042] Currently, when the floor scrubber connects to the base station for waste discharge, the waste in the scrubber's wastewater tank flows through pipes into the base station's wastewater tank. The base station then uses a fan to pressurize and discharge the waste into the sewer system. The base station's wastewater tank has a filter to separate solid waste. When wastewater is discharged from the base station's wastewater tank, water stains remain on the tank walls. If this residue is not cleaned for a long time, it will cause an odor. Simultaneously, a small amount of wastewater may also remain on the inner walls of the floor scrubber's wastewater tank, resulting in a foul smell.

[0043] In-depth research revealed that floor scrubbers sometimes develop odor problems after prolonged use, with varying degrees of odor. Through investigation and multiple long-term tests, it was found that the presence of solid waste in the base station filter caused a stronger odor, while a weaker odor persisted even after emptying the waste. This was determined to be caused by residual water in the base station's wastewater tank. Although the wastewater tank is emptied after each self-cleaning cycle, a slight odor still persists.

[0044] Existing solutions involve adding ultraviolet (UV) or ozone sterilization devices to the base station, but these are ineffective at removing odors from the floor scrubber's wastewater tank. UV sterilization primarily disinfects object surfaces and wastewater; however, due to the irregular shape of the base station's wastewater tank, it's difficult to avoid areas that are not properly irradiated. Furthermore, the filters in the tank separate solid waste, further obstructing the irradiation and resulting in poor effectiveness. Ozone sterilization technology struggles to penetrate solids, offering limited effectiveness against solid waste. Moreover, high concentrations of ozone pose health risks, requiring high levels of sealing in the manufactured components. Therefore, existing solutions still cannot effectively address the problems of mold and odor from floor scrubbers.

[0045] The drying method for cleaning equipment provided in this application is applied to cleaning equipment, specifically to a type of cleaning equipment including a detachably connected handheld cleaner and a base station. After the handheld cleaner is detached, the user can perform cleaning operations on the surface to be cleaned by holding it. After the handheld cleaner is connected to the base station, it can perform operations such as water replenishment, self-cleaning, charging, and sewage discharge.

[0046] It should be noted that the type of handheld cleaner is not limited to any one type. Any cleaner that allows the user to clean the surface with water during handheld cleaning and recycles the wastewater is acceptable. For example, in one embodiment, the handheld cleaner could be a handheld floor scrubber, a handheld fabric cleaner, etc., and there is no specific limitation.

[0047] It is understood that the drying method of this application embodiment can be executed by a handheld cleaner, a base station, or through interaction between the handheld cleaner and the base station; no specific limitation is made. In practical scenarios, the handheld cleaner is equipped with a cleaning controller, and the base station is equipped with a base station controller, with communication between the cleaning controller and the base station controller. Therefore, in practical scenarios, one of the cleaning controller and the base station controller can be used as the master controller, and the other as the slave controller, to execute the steps of the drying method of the cleaning device of this application.

[0048] To facilitate understanding of the technical solution of this application, the following embodiments can all be understood as the drying method of the cleaning equipment being executed by the base station controller. The base station controller can send relevant control commands to the cleaning controller, thereby enabling the cleaning controller to control the controlled components of the handheld cleaner to move.

[0049] Please see Figure 1 This application provides a drying method for a cleaning device, the cleaning device including a detachably connected handheld cleaner and a base station, the drying method including steps 102, 104 and 106.

[0050] Step 102: Determine the required drying mode for the cleaning equipment.

[0051] Specifically, the drying mode refers to the operating mode that requires drying which part of the cleaning equipment. For example, if only the handheld cleaner needs to be dried, the drying mode is cleaner drying; if both the handheld cleaner and the base station need to be dried, the drying mode is whole machine drying; if only the base station needs to be dried, the drying mode is base station drying.

[0052] It is understood that there is no single way to determine the drying mode. In one embodiment, the user can interact with the cleaning device and directly send the drying mode to the device. In another embodiment, the cleaning device can monitor its own operation and, when certain conditions are met, control the device to enter the corresponding drying mode. The specific method is not limited.

[0053] Step 104: With the drying mode set to whole machine drying, turn on the cleaner drain switch of the handheld cleaner and the base station inlet switch.

[0054] Specifically, whole-machine drying refers to the drying operation of the entire cleaning equipment, meaning both the handheld cleaner and the base station need to be dried. The handheld cleaner has a collection channel and a discharge channel. The collection channel connects to the inlet of the cleaner's wastewater tank to collect and store the wastewater after cleaning. The discharge channel connects to the base station's wastewater tank. When the handheld cleaner is connected to the base station, the base station's suction fan transfers the wastewater from the cleaner's tank to the base station's tank. Under normal conditions, the discharge channel between the cleaner's tank and the base station's tank should be closed to prevent leakage; that is, both the base station's wastewater inlet switch and the handheld cleaner's wastewater outlet switch should be closed.

[0055] In this embodiment, when the whole machine needs to be dried, the drain switch of the cleaner and the inlet switch of the base station need to be turned on. In this way, a hot air flow channel is formed, and the air in the base station sewage tank can enter the cleaner sewage tank through the drain channel.

[0056] Furthermore, in one embodiment, to prevent the loss of hot air during the drying process and improve the drying effect, the base station's drain switch can be turned off.

[0057] Step 106: Control the heating device installed in the sewage tank of the base station to heat at the first heating power, and control the base station suction fan of the base station to blow air.

[0058] Specifically, in this embodiment, a heating device is installed at the wastewater tank of the base station. This device can be located at any position on the outer surface of the wastewater tank, without limitation. The type of heating device is not unique; it can be an electromagnetic heating device, a resistance heating device, etc., and is also not limited.

[0059] The base station suction fan, also known as the handheld cleaner, generates suction by rotating forward when connected to the base station to draw in air and wastewater. During the heating process of the base station's wastewater tank, the suction fan needs to be reversed to operate in a blowing mode to accelerate the flow of hot air, ensuring that hot air can quickly enter the handheld cleaner.

[0060] It should be noted that the magnitude of the first heating power is not unique. To improve drying efficiency, the first heating power should be set sufficiently high. For example, in one embodiment, the first heating power can be set to the rated power or the maximum operating power. In another embodiment, the first heating power can be set to other values, and there is no specific limitation.

[0061] The drying method for the aforementioned cleaning equipment, which includes a detachably connected handheld cleaner and a base station, involves first determining the required drying mode for the cleaning equipment. With the entire machine being dried, the drain switch of the handheld cleaner and the inlet switch of the base station are opened, thus opening the drain channel between the base station's wastewater tank and the handheld cleaner's wastewater tank. Following this, the heating device is controlled to operate at its highest heating power. While drying the base station's wastewater tank, the generated hot air is blown into the cleaner's wastewater tank by the base station's suction fan, thereby drying the handheld cleaner. This solution, through the base station's suction fan, rapidly blows hot air into the handheld cleaner to dry it, ensuring efficient drying with high-temperature hot air, thereby alleviating odor and mold growth.

[0062] Please see Figure 2 In one embodiment, the method further includes steps 202 and 204.

[0063] Step 202: When the drying mode is set to cleaner drying, turn on the cleaner drain switch of the handheld cleaner and the base station inlet switch.

[0064] Step 204: Control the heating device to operate at the second heating power and control the base station suction fan to operate.

[0065] Specifically, the second heating power is less than or equal to the first heating power. In this embodiment, the handheld cleaner only requires drying, and the required heat is relatively small. Therefore, the control operation of the cleaning device is similar to the whole-machine drying described above; simply setting the heating power of the heating device to a relatively low level is sufficient. It can be understood that, in one embodiment, to reduce the complexity of the drying control process, the second heating power and the first heating power can be set to the same value, employing the same drying logic in both whole-machine drying and cleaner drying modes.

[0066] It is understood that the magnitude of the second heating power is not unique. For example, in one embodiment, the second heating power can be set to the minimum heating power.

[0067] By controlling the heating device to operate at a lower secondary heating power to dry the handheld cleaner, the above method can effectively save energy.

[0068] Similarly, in one embodiment, to prevent the loss of hot air, the base station drain switch can be turned off when the cleaner drain switch and the base station inlet switch are turned on.

[0069] In one embodiment, after turning on the drain switch of the handheld cleaner and the inlet switch of the base station, the method further includes: controlling the heating operation of the roller brush drying device installed on the base station, and controlling the blowing operation of the blower corresponding to the roller brush drying device; and controlling the suction operation of the cleaner fan of the handheld cleaner.

[0070] Specifically, a cleaner's suction fan is a device that uses forward rotation to draw in and collect wastewater generated during the cleaning process. A blower is a device that uses forward rotation to blow air.

[0071] In real-world scenarios, the roller brush and sludge collection channel of a handheld cleaner will maintain high humidity due to contact with wastewater, posing a risk of odor and mold growth. Therefore, in this embodiment, after the handheld cleaner is connected to the base station, a roller brush drying device and a blower are also installed at the base station location corresponding to the roller brush. Thus, when there is a need to dry the handheld cleaner, whether in whole-machine drying or cleaner-specific drying modes, the roller brush drying device can be activated for heating. The blower and the cleaner's suction fan simultaneously dry the roller brush and efficiently transfer the hot air generated by the roller brush drying device to the cleaner's wastewater tank via the sludge collection pipe.

[0072] This solution not only dries the roller brush, but also uses blowing and suction to blow hot air into the handheld cleaner's sludge collection pipe and wastewater tank, thereby further reducing the risk of odor and mold growth in the handheld cleaner.

[0073] In one embodiment, after controlling the heating operation of the roller brush drying device located at the base station, the method further includes: controlling the roller brush of the handheld cleaner to rotate.

[0074] Specifically, in this embodiment, during the drying process of the roller brush, the rotation of the roller brush can be controlled to ensure that the roller brush comes into full contact with the hot air, thereby achieving comprehensive drying of the roller brush, improving the drying efficiency of the roller brush, and avoiding the phenomenon that some roller brushes cannot be dried.

[0075] It should be noted that the way the roller brush rotates is not unique. It can alternate between clockwise and counterclockwise rotations at a certain cycle, or it can rotate in a fixed direction, such as clockwise or counterclockwise. There is no specific limitation.

[0076] The rotation speed of the roller brush is not unique. To ensure that each part of the roller brush has enough time to dry, in one embodiment, the roller brush can be controlled to rotate at a low speed, for example, the roller brush can be controlled to rotate at the minimum speed, that is, the driver (e.g., motor) that drives the roller brush to rotate is operated at minimum power.

[0077] Please see Figure 3 In one embodiment, the method further includes step 302.

[0078] Step 302: Verify whether the cleaning equipment requires drying.

[0079] If the cleaning equipment requires drying, proceed to step 102.

[0080] Specifically, the solution in this embodiment first checks whether the cleaning equipment requires drying, that is, whether a drying operation needs to be initiated. If a drying requirement is found, the drying mode is then determined, and the corresponding drying mode is used for the drying operation. If no drying requirement is found, there is no need to analyze the drying mode, and the drying operation will not be initiated. This effectively improves the accuracy of the drying process.

[0081] In one embodiment, checking whether the cleaning equipment requires drying includes any one of the following:

[0082] First: Upon receiving a drying instruction, determine if the cleaning equipment requires drying.

[0083] The second step: After the handheld cleaner has completed its self-cleaning process, determine if the cleaning equipment requires drying.

[0084] The third item: If the standby time of the handheld cleaner after successfully connecting to the base station reaches the preset standby duration, it is determined that the cleaning equipment has a drying requirement.

[0085] Fourthly: If the first humidity of the wastewater tank of the handheld cleaner is greater than or equal to the first preset humidity threshold, or the humidity of the wastewater tank of the base station is greater than or equal to the second preset humidity threshold, it is determined that the cleaning equipment has a drying requirement.

[0086] Specifically, the method for verifying whether drying is required is not unique. In one embodiment, the drying operation is actively triggered by the user, requiring a drying command sent by the user to be received before a drying requirement is considered. In another embodiment, the drying operation can be automatically triggered, in which case the cleaning device performs real-time monitoring of the handheld cleaner's docking with the base station, self-cleaning, and humidity monitoring of the cleaner's wastewater tank and the base station's wastewater tank.

[0087] After use, the handheld cleaner needs to be self-cleaned via the base station to ensure it remains clean. However, after self-cleaning, the handheld cleaner or base station may have a significant amount of water residue, which can easily lead to odors and bacterial growth. Therefore, drying is recommended after self-cleaning.

[0088] When a handheld cleaner is connected to a base station and remains in standby mode for an extended period, bacteria may grow, leading to unpleasant odors or mold. Therefore, detecting this state of connection between the handheld cleaner and the base station also indicates a need for drying. The preset standby time is not fixed and can be set according to the actual usage scenario or the type of cleaning equipment; no limitation is imposed here.

[0089] Furthermore, considering that odors and mold are often caused by excessive humidity, when excessive humidity is detected in the base station wastewater tank and / or the cleaner wastewater tank, it can be assumed that there is a need for drying, and thus the drying operation can be started.

[0090] It should be noted that the first preset humidity threshold and the second preset humidity threshold are not unique. They can be set to the same value or different values. There is no specific limitation. The value can be set according to the actual scenario.

[0091] Please see Figure 4 In one embodiment, step 102 includes steps 402, 404 and 406.

[0092] Step 402: Obtain the operating status of the base station when the cleaning equipment last performed a cleaning task.

[0093] Step 404: If the base station has not performed self-cleaning, determine the required drying mode as cleaner drying.

[0094] Step 406: If the base station has performed self-cleaning, determine the required drying mode as whole-machine drying.

[0095] Specifically, the most recent cleaning task refers to the cleaning task closest to the current time. In real-world scenarios, whether the drying operation is initiated via user command or after the handheld cleaner completes self-cleaning, the required drying mode needs to be determined. The primary purpose of the drying operation is to prevent the handheld cleaner from developing odors or mold; therefore, the drying mode is mainly determined based on the usage of the base station.

[0096] If the base station is detected to have performed self-cleaning, then water stains will inevitably accumulate on the base station. In this case, the base station needs to be dried, which requires performing a full-machine drying. If the base station is detected not to have performed self-cleaning, it indicates that the base station is relatively dry. In this case, a cleaner can be used for drying.

[0097] This solution determines whether the base station needs to be dried by detecting whether it has performed self-cleaning. This ensures the base station remains dry while also effectively saving energy.

[0098] Please see Figure 5In one embodiment, the method further includes steps 502, 504 and 506.

[0099] Step 502: When the heating device has been running for a preset duration, control the base station suction fan to run.

[0100] Step 504: Obtain the humidity parameters of the base station's wastewater tank.

[0101] Step 506: If the humidity parameter is less than or equal to the minimum value of the preset humidity range, control the heating device to stop operating to end the drying operation.

[0102] Specifically, in this embodiment, each drying task is configured with a corresponding drying time. When the drying time reaches the preset time, humidity detection is required to determine whether the drying end condition is met. Specifically, when the heating device has run for the preset time, the base station suction fan rotates forward to draw air from the cleaner's wastewater tank into the base station wastewater tank. Humidity is detected by the humidity detector in the base station wastewater tank. The humidity parameters obtained at this time can also characterize the humidity status of the cleaner's wastewater tank.

[0103] If the detected humidity parameter is less than or equal to the minimum value of the preset humidity range, it indicates that the cleaning equipment has been dried. The heating device can then be stopped to end the drying operation. This solution allows for timely termination of the drying process while the cleaning equipment is drying, preventing energy waste.

[0104] It is understood that, in one embodiment, when the drying operation ends, it is necessary to control the cleaner drain switch, the drain inlet switch, and the base station drain switch to return to standby operation, for example, by turning off all these switches.

[0105] It should be noted that, in one embodiment, both the roller brush drying device and the heating device can be turned on during the drying operation. Therefore, when the drying time reaches the preset time, it is necessary to control the cleaner's suction fan to stop or the blower to operate, to ensure that the air in the cleaner's wastewater tank can be used for humidity detection. When the humidity parameter is less than the minimum value of the preset humidity range, both the heating device and the roller brush drying device need to be turned off.

[0106] The preset duration is not unique; it can be set according to actual needs, and there is no specific limitation. For example, in one embodiment, the preset duration can be set to 4-5 minutes.

[0107] Please see Figure 6 In one embodiment, after step 504, the method further includes step 602.

[0108] Step 602: When the humidity parameter is within the preset humidity range, control the base station suction fan to continue blowing air, and adjust the heating operation time according to the humidity parameter.

[0109] If the heating device continues to operate for the adjusted heating time, return to the step of controlling the base station's suction fan to operate.

[0110] Specifically, if the detected humidity parameter is still high after a preset heating time (i.e., within the preset humidity range), the heating time needs to be adjusted, and the drying operation continues. Specifically, the heating time can be reduced, and the timing restarts. After the heating device continues heating for the reduced time, the control base station's suction fan resumes operation, and humidity is detected again. This process continues until the humidity is finally detected to be below the minimum value of the preset humidity range, at which point the drying operation ends.

[0111] This solution allows for continuous adjustment of heating time when humidity is high, ensuring drying effectiveness while also allowing for timely stopping of the drying process to save energy.

[0112] It is understood that, in one embodiment, if the detected humidity parameter is greater than the maximum value of the preset humidity range, it indicates that the drying process has not reduced the humidity, which may be due to a malfunction in the relevant device performing the drying function. In this case, the drying process will be terminated and an alarm will be triggered.

[0113] Please see Figure 7 In one embodiment, the method further includes steps 702 and 704.

[0114] Step 702: After drying is completed, obtain the real-time humidity parameters of the wastewater tank of the base station.

[0115] Step 704: When the real-time humidity parameter is greater than or equal to the preset humidity threshold, control the heating device to heat and dry the base station wastewater tank.

[0116] If the real-time humidity parameter is less than the preset humidity threshold, return to the step of obtaining the real-time humidity parameter of the base station's sewage tank.

[0117] Specifically, after the entire unit or the cleaner is dried to a certain humidity level, the humidity of the base station can be monitored by a humidity detector installed in the base station's wastewater tank. If the humidity is found to be too high, that is, if the real-time humidity parameter is greater than or equal to the preset humidity threshold, the heating device can be activated to dry the base station, i.e., it operates in base station drying mode.

[0118] This solution allows for continuous humidity monitoring of the base station after drying, ensuring it remains dry and preventing odors or mold growth.

[0119] In one embodiment, controlling the heating device to heat and dry the base station wastewater tank includes: controlling the heating device to start operation, closing the wastewater inlet switch, opening the base station wastewater discharge switch; and controlling the base station suction fan to blow air.

[0120] Specifically, in this embodiment, when drying the base station, the inlet valve needs to be closed to reduce heat loss. Simultaneously, the base station outlet valve is opened and the suction fan is controlled to blow air, discharging the polluted air generated by heating into the external environment (e.g., the sewer connected to the base station) through the outlet valve, thereby preventing air pollution.

[0121] When drying the wastewater tank of a base station, a fixed drying time can be used. After drying, the humidity is measured again, and the result determines whether to continue drying until the final humidity drops below a preset humidity threshold. In another embodiment, different heating power or heating time can be used for different humidity levels to avoid energy waste.

[0122] For example, in one embodiment, controlling the heating device to heat and dry the base station wastewater tank includes: determining the drying level based on real-time humidity parameters and a preset humidity level range; and after the heating device has finished operating at the drying level, turning off the heating device and returning to the step of obtaining the real-time humidity parameters of the base station wastewater tank.

[0123] Specifically, the drying setting refers to the setting the heating device needs to operate at under the current humidity conditions. In particular, the drying setting can be either heating power or heating duration, and is not limited here. In one embodiment, taking heating duration as an example, a higher drying setting (longer heating duration) is used when the humidity is high; a lower drying setting (shorter heating duration) is used when the humidity is low.

[0124] For example, when the humidity is between 30% and 50%, the corresponding drying setting is level one, and the drying time is 1 minute; when the humidity is between 50% and 60%, the corresponding drying setting is level two, and the drying time is 3 minutes; when the humidity is greater than 60%, the corresponding drying setting is level three, and the drying time is 5 minutes.

[0125] To facilitate understanding of the technical solution of this application, the following explanation uses a handheld floor scrubber as an example and combines it with more detailed embodiments.

[0126] The cleaning equipment includes a handheld floor scrubber and a base station. The base station is equipped with function buttons for controlling the drying process. After the handheld floor scrubber is connected to the base station, if the user starts the drying operation through the function button, or if the program detects that the handheld floor scrubber has completed the self-cleaning operation, the drying process is triggered.

[0127] First, the program checks whether the base station has performed a self-cleaning operation recently. If it has, the whole machine drying is started; if it has not, the cleaner drying is started.

[0128] In the whole machine drying mode (the cleaner drying mode is similar to the whole machine drying mode; you only need to control the heating power of the heating device to be less than or equal to that of the whole machine drying mode, so it will not be described in detail here), please refer to the table below.

[0129] Between 0 and 2 minutes, the base station controller sends control commands to the cleaning controller, which in turn controls the cleaner's drain switch to open, the roller brush to rotate forward, and the cleaner's suction fan to rotate forward. The base station controller then controls the base station's drain switch to close, the wastewater inlet switch to open, the heating device to operate at maximum power, the roller brush drying device to operate at maximum heating power, and the base station's suction fan to rotate in reverse (i.e., controls the blower fan to rotate forward). Thus, while the heating device dries the base station's wastewater tank, hot air is simultaneously sent from the handheld scrubber's drain pipe into the cleaner's wastewater tank to dry the entire wastewater passage and components. Simultaneously, while the roller brush drying device dries the roller brush, hot air is simultaneously sent from the handheld scrubber's collection pipe into the cleaner's wastewater tank to dry the entire collection passage and components.

[0130] When the drying time reaches 2-4 minutes, the base station controller sends a control command to the cleaning controller, so that the cleaning controller controls the roller brush to run in reverse, and the operating status of the other equipment changes.

[0131] Then, after 4-5 minutes of drying time, the base station controller sends a control command to the cleaning controller, causing the cleaning controller to stop the cleaner's suction fan and the base station controller to rotate the base station's suction fan forward to draw air into the base station's wastewater tank. The humidity detector is activated to monitor humidity. The heating device, blower, and roller brush drying device remain in operation. If the detected humidity is below the minimum preset humidity range, drying ends, all heating devices stop operating, and all switches are turned off.

[0132] If the detected humidity is within the preset range, the heating time is reduced, the cleaner's suction rotates forward to draw air, and the base station's suction fan rotates backward to blow air. The heating elements are then controlled again to operate for the adjusted heating time to continue drying. After the adjusted heating time is reached, the cleaner's suction fan stops operating, and the base station's suction fan rotates forward to draw air. Humidity is detected again until the humidity is reduced to the minimum value below the preset range.

[0133] After drying is complete, the humidity detector in the base station's wastewater tank monitors the humidity in real time. When the detected real-time humidity parameter is greater than or equal to a preset humidity threshold, the base station drying mode is activated. In this mode, only the base station needs to be controlled; the handheld floor scrubber does not need to perform drying, and the roller brush drying device does not need to be activated. Specifically, the base station controller closes the wastewater inlet switch and opens the base station wastewater outlet switch, controls the heating device to operate (it can be turned on at any heating power), and the base station's suction fan reverses to blow air to dry the base station's wastewater tank. The hot air is then discharged to the outdoor environment (such as a sewer) connected to the base station's wastewater tank to avoid air pollution.

[0134] During the base station drying process, if the humidity is between 30% and 50%, the corresponding drying setting is level one, with a drying time of 1 minute. This means that after the heating device runs for 1 minute, the humidity is re-detected, and the next heating time is determined based on the detection result, or heating is stopped altogether. If the humidity is between 50% and 60%, the corresponding drying setting is level two, with a drying time of 3 minutes. This means that after the heating device runs for 3 minutes, the humidity is re-detected, and the next heating time is determined based on the detection result, or heating is stopped altogether. If the humidity is greater than 60%, the corresponding drying setting is level three, with a drying time of 5 minutes. This means that after the heating device runs for 5 minutes, the humidity is re-detected, and the next heating time is determined based on the detection result, or heating is stopped altogether.

[0137] Based on the same inventive concept, this application also provides a drying apparatus for implementing the drying method of the cleaning equipment described above. The solution provided by this apparatus is similar to the solution described in the above method; therefore, the specific limitations in one or more embodiments of the drying apparatus for cleaning equipment provided below can be found in the limitations of the drying method for cleaning equipment described above, and will not be repeated here.

[0138] Please see Figure 8 A drying device for a cleaning device, the cleaning device including a detachably connected handheld cleaner and a base station, the drying device including a mode determination module 802, a switch control module 804 and a hot air control module 806.

[0139] The mode determination module 802 is used to determine the drying mode required by the cleaning equipment; the switch control module 804 is used to turn on the cleaner drain switch of the handheld cleaner and the sewage inlet switch of the base station when the drying mode is whole machine drying; the hot air control module 806 is used to control the heating device installed in the sewage tank of the base station to heat at the first heating power and control the base station suction fan of the base station to blow air.

[0140] In one embodiment, the switch control module 804 is further configured to turn on the cleaner drain switch of the handheld cleaner and the drain switch of the base station when the drying mode is cleaner drying. The hot air control module 806 is further configured to control the heating device to operate at the second heating power and control the base station suction fan of the base station to operate.

[0141] Please see Figure 9 In one embodiment, the drying device further includes a roller brush drying module 902. The roller brush drying module 902 is used to control the heating operation of the roller brush drying device installed at the base station, and to control the blowing operation of the blower fan installed corresponding to the roller brush drying device; and to control the suction operation of the cleaner fan of the handheld cleaner.

[0142] In one embodiment, the roller brush drying module 902 is also used to control the rotation of the roller brush of the handheld cleaner.

[0143] Please see Figure 10 In one embodiment, the drying device further includes a trigger detection module 1002. The trigger detection module 1002 is used to verify whether the cleaning equipment has a drying requirement. If the cleaning equipment has a drying requirement, the control mode determination module 802 performs the operation of determining the drying mode required by the cleaning equipment.

[0144] In one embodiment, the mode determination module 802 is further configured to obtain the operating status of the base station when the cleaning equipment last performed a cleaning task; if the base station has not performed self-cleaning, determine that the required drying mode is cleaner drying; if the base station has performed self-cleaning, determine that the required drying mode is whole machine drying.

[0145] In one embodiment, the hot air control module 806 is further configured to control the base station suction fan to operate when the running time of the heating device reaches a preset time; acquire the humidity parameters of the base station wastewater tank; and control the heating device to stop operating to end the drying operation when the humidity parameters are less than or equal to the minimum value of the preset humidity range.

[0146] In one embodiment, the hot air control module 806 is further configured to control the base station suction fan to continue blowing air when the humidity parameter is within a preset humidity range, and adjust the heating operation time according to the humidity parameter; and return to the operation of controlling the base station suction fan to continue blowing air when the heating device continues to heat for the adjusted heating time.

[0147] Please see Figure 11 In one embodiment, the drying device further includes a drying monitoring module 112. The drying monitoring module 112 is used to acquire the real-time humidity parameters of the base station wastewater tank when drying is completed; control the heating device to heat and dry the base station wastewater tank when the real-time humidity parameters are greater than or equal to a preset humidity threshold; and return to the operation of acquiring the real-time humidity parameters of the base station wastewater tank when the real-time humidity parameters are less than the preset humidity threshold.

[0148] In one embodiment, the drying monitoring module 112 is also used to control the heating device to start operation, turn off the sewage inlet switch, turn on the base station sewage outlet switch, and control the base station suction fan to blow air.

[0149] In one embodiment, the drying monitoring module 112 is further configured to determine the drying level based on the real-time humidity parameters and the preset humidity level range; after the heating device has finished operating at the drying level, the heating device is turned off and the operation of obtaining the real-time humidity parameters of the base station sewage tank is returned.

[0150] Each module in the drying device of the aforementioned cleaning equipment can be implemented entirely or partially through software, hardware, or a combination thereof. These modules can be embedded in or independent of the processor in a computer device in hardware form, or stored in the memory of a computer device in software form, so that the processor can call and execute the operations corresponding to each module.

[0151] The aforementioned drying device for the cleaning equipment includes a detachably connected handheld cleaner and a base station. In a practical scenario, the required drying mode for the cleaning equipment is first determined. With the entire machine being dried, the drain switch of the handheld cleaner and the inlet switch of the base station are opened, thus opening the drainage channel between the base station's wastewater tank and the handheld cleaner's wastewater tank. Afterward, the heating device is controlled to operate at the first heating power. While drying the base station's wastewater tank, the generated hot air is blown into the cleaner's wastewater tank by the base station's suction fan, thereby drying the handheld cleaner. This solution, by using the base station's suction fan to blow hot air into the handheld cleaner to dry it, alleviates odor and mold growth.

[0152] Please refer to the following: Figure 12 , Figure 13 , Figure 14 and Figure 15 This application also provides a cleaning device, including a detachably connected handheld cleaner 121 and a base station 122. The base station 122 includes a base body, a base station controller, a base station wastewater tank 1222, a base station suction fan 1227, a wastewater inlet switch 1221, and a heating device 1223. The base station wastewater tank 1222 is disposed on the base body, the heating device 1223 is disposed on the base station wastewater tank 1222, and the wastewater inlet switch 1221 and the base station suction fan 1227 are disposed on the wastewater inlet pipe of the base station wastewater tank 1222. The heating device 1223 and the base station suction fan 1227 are respectively connected to the base station controller. The handheld cleaner 121 includes a cleaner wastewater tank 1211, a cleaner drain switch 1212 and a cleaner controller. The cleaner drain switch 1212 is installed in the drain pipe of the cleaner wastewater tank 1211 and is connected to the cleaner controller. The cleaner controller of the handheld cleaner 121 is communicatively connected to the base station controller of the base station 122. The cleaner controller or the base station controller is used to perform the steps of the above drying method.

[0153] Specifically, the drying method is implemented as shown in the above embodiments and accompanying drawings. The cleaning device includes a detachably connected handheld cleaner 121 and a base station 122. In a practical scenario, the required drying mode for the cleaning device is first determined. When drying the entire device, the cleaner drain switch 1212 of the handheld cleaner 121 and the drain inlet switch 1221 of the base station 122 are opened, while the base station drain switch 1228 of the base station 122 is closed. This opens the drain channel between the base station wastewater tank 1222 and the cleaner wastewater tank 1211 of the handheld cleaner 121. After this, the heating device 1223 is controlled to operate at a first heating power. While drying the base station wastewater tank 1222, the generated hot air is blown into the cleaner wastewater tank 1211 by the base station suction fan 1227, thereby drying the handheld cleaner 121. The above solution uses the base station suction fan 1227 to blow hot air into the handheld cleaner 121 to dry it, thereby alleviating the odor and mold problems.

[0154] The type of handheld cleaner 121 is not unique. Any cleaner that allows the user to clean the surface with water during handheld cleaning and collect the wastewater after cleaning is acceptable. For example, in one embodiment, the handheld cleaner 121 can be a handheld floor scrubber, a handheld fabric cleaner, etc., and there is no specific limitation.

[0155] It is understood that, in order to achieve the above-mentioned drying function, in one embodiment, a heating device 1223 and a humidity detector 1224 need to be installed at the base station wastewater tank 1222 of the base station 122 to achieve heating and humidity detection of the base station wastewater tank 1222.

[0156] It should be noted that, in one embodiment, in order to realize the humidity detection of the handheld cleaner 121, a humidity sensor may also be installed near the air intake of the cleaner's suction fan 1214 or inside the cleaner's wastewater tank 1211.

[0157] Furthermore, in one embodiment, after the base station 122 is connected to the handheld cleaner 121, a roller brush drying device 1225 and a blower 1226 are provided at the position corresponding to the roller brush 1213 (which can be any position around the roller brush 1213), which can dry the roller brush 1213 and send hot air into the dirt collection pipe and the wastewater tank 1211 of the handheld cleaner 121 in conjunction with the cleaner suction fan 1214.

[0158] This application also provides a computer-readable storage medium having a computer program stored thereon, wherein the computer program, when executed by a processor, implements the steps of the following drying method:

[0159] Determine the required drying mode for the cleaning equipment; when the drying mode is whole machine drying, turn on the cleaner drain switch of the handheld cleaner and the sewage inlet switch of the base station; control the heating device installed in the sewage tank of the base station to heat at the first heating power, and control the base station suction fan to blow air.

[0160] This application also provides a computer program product, including a computer program that, when executed by a processor, implements the steps of the following drying method:

[0161] Determine the required drying mode for the cleaning equipment; when the drying mode is whole machine drying, turn on the cleaner drain switch of the handheld cleaner and the sewage inlet switch of the base station; control the heating device installed in the sewage tank of the base station to heat at the first heating power, and control the base station suction fan to blow air.

[0162] The aforementioned storage medium and computer program products first determine the required drying mode for the cleaning equipment. During the overall drying process, the drain switch of the handheld cleaner and the inlet switch of the base station are opened, thus opening the drainage channel between the base station's wastewater tank and the handheld cleaner's wastewater tank. Afterward, the heating device is controlled to operate at the first heating power. While drying the base station's wastewater tank, the generated hot air is blown into the cleaner's wastewater tank by the base station's suction fan, thereby drying the handheld cleaner. This solution, through the base station's suction fan blowing hot air into the handheld cleaner to dry it, alleviates odor and mold growth.

[0163] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0164] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
