As used in this application specification and the appended claims, the singular forms "a", "an" and "the" are intended to include plural forms unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

[0041] It should be further understood that the term “and / or” used in the specification and appended claims refers to any combination and all possible combinations of one or more of the associated listed items, and includes these combinations.

[0042] Some embodiments of the present application are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments and features in the embodiments may be combined with each other when there is no conflict.

[0043] At present, after using cleaning equipment to clean walls or floors, the cleaning brush of the cleaning equipment is stained with a lot of stains, and the dirt storage bin of the cleaning equipment is also stained due to the storage of waste liquid. In actual applications, users usually simply rinse the cleaning brush and wait for it to dry naturally, but this method is not only inefficient, but also has a poor cleaning effect. It is impossible to completely clean the stains on the cleaning brush and the dirt storage bin, which easily leads to bacteria and odor on the body of the cleaning equipment, which not only reduces the user experience, but also affects the user's health.

[0044] To this end, the present application provides a self-cleaning method for cleaning equipment, cleaning equipment, base station, system and computer-readable storage medium. By controlling the operation of the liquid conveying device when executing the first cleaning process, the liquid in the liquid storage tank can be pumped into the cleaning tank by the liquid conveying device to clean the cleaning brush; by controlling the operation of the fan when executing the second cleaning process, the fan can be used to form a negative pressure in the dirt storage tank, and the liquid in the cleaning tank can be recovered from the liquid suction hole of the scraper to the dirt storage tank, and the channel between the scraper and the dirt storage tank can be cleaned. In this way, the cleaning tank in the base station can be used in conjunction with the liquid conveying device and the fan of the cleaning equipment itself to realize the automatic cleaning function, without the need for the user to manually clean the cleaning equipment, thus avoiding the growth of bacteria and the generation of odor on the body of the cleaning equipment, thereby effectively improving the cleaning efficiency and cleaning effect of the cleaning equipment.

[0045] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 Schematic diagram of a cleaning system provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1As shown, the cleaning system includes a cleaning device 10 and a base station 40, and the base station 40 is used to maintain the cleaning device 10. The maintenance may include the base station 40 charging the cleaning device 10, and may also include the base station 40 self-cleaning the cleaning device 10. The working principles of the cleaning device 10 and the base station 40 and the self-cleaning method will be described in detail below.

[0046] See also Figure 2 The cleaning device 10 includes a brush head module 100, a fan 101, a liquid delivery device (not shown in the figure), a liquid storage tank 103, a dirt storage tank 104 and a first control device (not shown in the figure). The brush head module 100 includes a scraper 1000 with a liquid suction hole, a cleaning brush 1001 and a driving mechanism 1002 connected to the cleaning brush 1001.

[0047] Exemplarily, the liquid storage tank 103 includes a first liquid storage tank 1030 and a second liquid storage tank 1031, wherein the first liquid storage tank 1030 is used to store clean water, and the second liquid storage tank 1031 is used to store detergent, and the liquid delivery device includes a water pump and a peristaltic pump. The water pump is used to pump the clean water in the first liquid storage tank 1030 to the cleaning brush 1001, and the peristaltic pump is used to pump the detergent in the second liquid storage tank 1031 to the cleaning brush 1001, wherein the clean water in the first liquid storage tank 1030 can be mixed with the detergent in the second liquid storage tank 1031 and then pumped to the cleaning brush 1001, for example, the clean water and the detergent can be mixed through a three-way pipe and then pumped to the cleaning brush 1001, or the clean water can be added to the detergent or the detergent can be added to the clean water and then pumped to the cleaning brush 1001, so that the dirt in the cleaning brush 1001 can be softened for easy cleaning.

[0048] The waste storage bin 104 is used to store waste liquid, for example, waste liquid recovered from the liquid suction holes of the scraper 1000 .

[0049] Exemplarily, the fan 101 may be connected to the waste storage bin 104 through an air duct, and when the fan 101 rotates at a high speed, a negative pressure may be formed in the waste storage bin 104 to recover the waste liquid from the liquid suction hole of the scraper 1000 to the waste storage bin 104 .

[0050] Exemplarily, the driving mechanism 1002 may include a transmission mechanism and a motor. Under the action of the motor, the transmission mechanism uses a crank and a slider combination to drive the cleaning brush 1001 to reciprocate.

[0051] The first control device may include a processor and a memory, wherein the processor and the memory may be connected via a bus, and the bus may be any applicable bus such as an Inter-integrated Circuit (I2C) bus.

[0052] The memory may include a storage medium and an internal memory. The storage medium may be a non-volatile storage medium or a volatile storage medium. The storage medium may store an operating system and a computer program, and the internal memory provides an environment for the operation of the computer program in the storage medium. The computer program includes program instructions, and when the program instructions are executed, the processor may execute the self-cleaning method of the cleaning device described in any embodiment.

[0053] The processor is used to provide computing and control capabilities to support the operation of the entire cleaning device 10 .

[0054] The processor may be a central processing unit (CPU), a general-purpose processor, a digital signal processor (DSP), an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), a field-programmable gate array (FPGA), or other programmable logic devices, discrete gate or transistor logic devices, discrete hardware components, etc. The general-purpose processor may be a microprocessor, or any conventional processor.

[0055] See also Figure 2 The cleaning device 10 also includes a separation mechanism (not shown in the figure), a switch (not shown in the figure), a trigger (not shown in the figure), a handle 109, a battery compartment 110 and a display screen 111.

[0056] The separation mechanism can be arranged above the waste storage bin 104 , and the waste liquid recovered from the suction hole of the scraper 1000 first enters the separation mechanism for gas-liquid separation, and the separated liquid flows into the waste storage bin 104 , and the separated gas is sucked away by the fan 101 .

[0057] The switch is used to set the operation mode of the cleaning device 10. The cleaning device 10 may include a cleaning mode, a suction scraping mode, a pure suction mode, and the like. The cleaning mode refers to driving the cleaning brush 1001 to reciprocate and pumping clean water and / or detergent to the cleaning brush 1001, while also recovering waste liquid from the suction hole of the scraper 1000 to the dirt storage bin 104. The suction scraping mode refers to driving the cleaning brush 1001 to reciprocate and also recovering waste liquid from the suction hole of the scraper 1000 to the dirt storage bin 104. The pure suction mode refers to recovering waste liquid from the suction hole of the scraper 1000 to the dirt storage bin 104.

[0058] The trigger is used to control the cleaning device 10 to start working in the current operating mode. For example, when the cleaning device 10 is in the cleaning mode, the user presses the trigger to control the fan 101, the drive mechanism 1002 and the liquid delivery device to work simultaneously. For another example, when the cleaning device 10 is in the suction and scraping mode, the user presses the trigger to control the fan 101 and the drive mechanism 1002 to work simultaneously. By using the trigger to control the cleaning device 10 to start working in the current operating mode, it is possible to achieve one-button control of multiple components in the cleaning device 10 to work simultaneously, which is simpler and more convenient to operate.

[0059] The handle 109 is used to control the power on of the cleaning device 10 and light up the display screen 111 when it is detected that the user is holding the handle 109. In one embodiment, a sensor can be set in the handle 109 to detect whether someone is using the cleaning device 10. The sensor may include but is not limited to a pressure sensor, a temperature sensor, a gravity sensor, a touch sensor, and the like. For example, a pressure sensor can be set in the handle 109, and when the pressure value of the pressure sensor is greater than a preset pressure threshold, it can be determined that the user is holding the handle 109. The preset pressure threshold can be set according to actual conditions, and the specific value is not limited. By setting the handle 109 to control the power on of the cleaning device 10, there is no need to set a special power on button, which not only simplifies the structure and control logic of the cleaning device 10, but also saves the cost of the cleaning device 10.

[0060] The battery compartment 110 is used to accommodate a battery module, and the battery module is used to power various electrical components or modules of the cleaning device 10. After the cleaning device 10 is turned on, the display screen 111 can display the current operation mode of the cleaning device 10, and can also display prompt messages such as the lack of liquid in the liquid storage tank 103, the waste liquid in the waste storage tank 104 is full, and the liquid storage tank 103 is not installed.

[0061] Exemplarily, the cleaning device 10 may include, but is not limited to: a floor scrubber, a sweeper, a kitchen cleaning machine, and the like.

[0062] See also Figure 3 , Figure 3 is a schematic flow chart of a self-cleaning method for a cleaning device provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 3 As shown, the self-cleaning method of the cleaning device includes steps S201 to S203.

[0063] Step S201 : in response to a self-cleaning instruction sent by a base station, executing a self-cleaning process, wherein the self-cleaning process includes at least one first cleaning process and at least one second cleaning process.

[0064] It should be noted that the self-cleaning method of the cleaning device in the embodiment of the present application can be applied to the scene where the cleaning device is placed in the base station. After the user uses the cleaning device to complete the cleaning work, the user can first pour out the sewage in the sewage storage tank, fill the first liquid storage tank with clean water, and place the cleaning device on the base station. At this time, the cleaning brush of the cleaning device goes deep into the cleaning pool of the base station. Through the curvature of the upper cover of the base station body and the effect of the magnet, the cleaning device can be firmly fixed on the base station, and then the cleaning device starts self-cleaning and charging.

[0065] Exemplarily, after the cleaning device is placed on the base station, if a self-cleaning instruction sent by the cleaning device is received, the cleaning device responds to the self-cleaning instruction and executes the self-cleaning process. It should be noted that after the user places the cleaning device on the base station, he can press a button on the base station, such as a self-cleaning button or other button. At this time, the base station will send a command to the cleaning device to instruct the cleaning device to execute the self-cleaning process. Among them, the communication between the base station and the cleaning device can be wired communication or wireless communication. After the user presses the button on the base station, the base station can also remind the user through lights, so that the user can know in time that the cleaning device has started to execute the self-cleaning process, avoiding the user from picking up the cleaning device from the base station. Among them, when the cleaning device executes different stages of the self-cleaning process, the base station can remind the user through lights of different colors, so that the user can know the process currently executed by the cleaning device.

[0066] Exemplarily, the self-cleaning process includes at least one first cleaning process and at least one second cleaning process. For example, the self-cleaning process includes one first cleaning process and one second cleaning process. For another example, the self-cleaning process includes two first cleaning processes and two second cleaning processes, that is, the first cleaning process is executed first, then the second cleaning process is executed, and then the first cleaning process and the second cleaning process are executed in sequence. For another example, the self-cleaning process includes three first cleaning processes and three second cleaning processes, that is, the first cleaning process and the second cleaning process are repeatedly executed for three rounds. Among them, the duration corresponding to the first cleaning process and the second cleaning process can be set according to actual conditions, and the specific values ​​are not limited here.

[0067] It should be noted that the first cleaning process is mainly to clean the cleaning brush of the cleaning equipment. The cleaning equipment can pump clean water into the cleaning pool of the base station through the spray mode, and place the cleaning brush of the cleaning equipment into the cleaning pool for cleaning. The second cleaning process is mainly to recycle the water in the cleaning pool into the dirt storage bin of the cleaning equipment through the suction hole of the scraper, so as to clean the channel between the scraper and the dirt storage bin and clean the separation mechanism of the cleaning equipment.

[0068] Step S202: When executing the first cleaning process, the liquid conveying device is controlled to work, and the liquid conveying device is used to pump the liquid in the liquid storage tank to the cleaning pool to clean the cleaning brush.

[0069] Illustratively, when executing the first cleaning process, the cleaning device can control the liquid delivery device to operate, and the liquid delivery device is used to pump the liquid in the liquid storage tank to the cleaning tank to clean the cleaning brush.

[0070] In some embodiments, controlling the operation of the liquid delivery device includes: controlling the operation of a water pump to pump clean water in the first liquid storage tank 1030 to the cleaning brush 1001 .

[0071] In other embodiments, controlling the operation of the liquid delivery device includes: controlling the water pump and the peristaltic pump to operate simultaneously, so as to mix and pump the clean water in the first liquid storage tank 1030 and the detergent in the second liquid storage tank 1031 to the cleaning brush 1001 .

[0072] It should be noted that during the self-cleaning process, the water pump and the peristaltic pump can be controlled to work simultaneously to mix the clean water in the first liquid storage tank 1030 and the detergent in the second liquid storage tank 1031 and pump them to the cleaning brush 1001. This can quickly moisturize and soften the dirt in the cleaning brush 1001, making it easier to clean the cleaning brush 1001.

[0073] In other embodiments, the liquid delivery device is controlled to operate, including: when the first cleaning process is executed for the first time, the water pump and the peristaltic pump are controlled to operate simultaneously, so as to pump the clean water in the first liquid storage tank 1030 and the cleaning agent in the second liquid storage tank 1031 to the cleaning brush 1001; when the first cleaning process is executed for the second time, the water pump is controlled to operate, so as to pump the clean water in the first liquid storage tank 1030 to the cleaning brush 1001.

[0074] It should be noted that when the first cleaning process needs to be performed multiple times, when the first cleaning process is performed for the first time, the water pump and the peristaltic pump can be controlled to work simultaneously, and the clean water in the first liquid storage tank 1030 and the detergent in the second liquid storage tank 1031 are mixed and pumped to the cleaning brush 1001, so that the detergent can be used to quickly moisturize and soften the dirt in the cleaning brush 1001, which is convenient for cleaning the cleaning brush 1001. When the first cleaning process is performed for the second time, the water pump can be controlled to work alone to pump the clean water in the first liquid storage tank 1030 to the cleaning brush 1001. At this time, the peristaltic pump does not need to be controlled to work, so that the detergent can be saved.

[0075] Step S203: When executing the second cleaning process, the fan is controlled to work, and the fan is used to form a negative pressure in the dirt storage bin to recover the liquid in the cleaning pool from the liquid suction hole of the scraper to the dirt storage bin.

[0076] In some embodiments, when executing the second cleaning process, the cleaning device 10 can control the fan 101 to work, and the fan 101 is used to form a negative pressure in the dirt storage bin 104 to recover the liquid in the cleaning pool of the base station 40 from the liquid suction hole of the scraper 1000 to the dirt storage bin 104. In this way, the passage between the scraper 1000 and the dirt storage bin 104 and the separation mechanism can be flushed to prevent bacteria from growing inside the cleaning device 10 and generating odor.

[0077] In other embodiments, when executing the second cleaning process, the cleaning equipment 10 can control the fan 101 and the liquid conveying device to work simultaneously. The liquid conveying device is used to pump the liquid in the liquid storage tank 103 to the cleaning pool, and the fan 101 is used to form a negative pressure in the dirt storage tank to recover the liquid in the cleaning pool from the suction hole of the scraper 1000 to the dirt storage tank 104.

[0078] It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present application, when executing the second cleaning process, in addition to being able to control the operation of the fan 101 individually, the fan 101 and the liquid delivery device can also be controlled to operate simultaneously, so that the cleaning brush 1001 can be rinsed while the liquid in the cleaning pool is recovered to the dirt storage bin 104, and then the cleaning brush 1001, the passage between the scraper 1000 and the dirt storage bin 104 and the separation mechanism can be rinsed multiple times to improve the cleaning effect.

[0079] In the above embodiment, by controlling the operation of the liquid conveying device when executing the first cleaning process, the liquid in the liquid storage tank 103 can be pumped to the cleaning tank by the liquid conveying device to clean the cleaning brush 1001; by controlling the operation of the fan 101 when executing the second cleaning process, the fan 101 can be used to form a negative pressure in the dirt storage tank 104, and the liquid in the cleaning tank is recovered from the liquid suction hole of the scraper 1000 to the dirt storage tank 104, and the passage between the scraper 1000 and the dirt storage tank 104 is cleaned, so that the cleaning tank in the base station 40 can be used in conjunction with the liquid conveying device of the cleaning equipment 10 itself and the fan 101 to realize the automatic cleaning function, without the user manually cleaning the cleaning equipment 10, thereby effectively improving the cleaning efficiency and cleaning effect of the cleaning equipment 10.

[0080] In some embodiments, the self-cleaning process also includes a pre-cleaning process before the first cleaning process. The self-cleaning method of the cleaning equipment provided in the embodiment of the present application also includes: executing a pre-cleaning process to recover the liquid in the cleaning pool from the suction hole of the scraper to the dirt storage bin.

[0081] In the embodiment of the present application, in order to prevent the sewage retained in the cleaning pool of the base station from affecting the cleaning of the cleaning brush, before executing the first cleaning process, a pre-cleaning process can be performed for a period of time, such as 10 seconds or other durations. By performing the pre-cleaning process, the excess liquid in the cleaning pool can be recovered from the suction hole of the scraper to the dirt storage bin. The pre-cleaning process can be started after the user presses a button on the base station. At this time, the base station can also remind the user through a light, so that the user can know in time that the cleaning device has started to perform the pre-cleaning process.

[0082] In some embodiments, a pre-cleaning process is performed, including: controlling a fan to operate, wherein the fan is used to form a negative pressure in the dirt storage bin to recover waste liquid from the liquid suction holes of the scraper to the dirt storage bin.

[0083] For example, when performing the pre-cleaning process, a control signal can be sent to the fan 101, and the fan 101 starts working according to the control signal, so that the fan 101 can be used to form a negative pressure in the dirt storage bin 104 to recover the waste liquid from the liquid suction hole of the scraper 1000 to the dirt storage bin 104. It should be noted that the fan 101 will generate a strong suction force when rotating at a high speed, and an instantaneous vacuum will be generated inside the dirt storage bin 104, forming a negative pressure difference with the outside world. Under the action of the negative pressure difference, the waste liquid can be recovered from the liquid suction hole of the scraper 1000 to the dirt storage bin 104.

[0084] In the above embodiment, by controlling the operation of the fan 101, the high-speed rotation of the fan can be utilized to form a negative pressure in the dirt storage bin 104, so that the waste liquid can be recovered from the suction hole of the scraper 1000 to the dirt storage bin 104, so that the dirt storage bin 104 is not affected by gravity, and the dirt storage bin 104 can store waste liquid in any direction.

[0085] In some embodiments, the cleaning device 10 includes a separation mechanism; executing a pre-cleaning process also includes: controlling the fan 101 and the separation mechanism to work simultaneously, the fan 101 is used to form a negative pressure in the dirt storage bin 105 to recover the waste liquid from the suction hole of the scraper 1000 to the separation mechanism, and the separation mechanism is used to generate centrifugal force to perform gas-liquid separation on the waste liquid entering the separation mechanism, and the separated liquid flows into the dirt storage bin 104.

[0086] Exemplarily, the fan 101 and the separation mechanism may be controlled to work simultaneously, and the waste liquid entering the separation mechanism is separated into gas and liquid, and the separated liquid flows into the waste storage bin 104 .

[0087] In the above embodiment, by controlling the fan 101 and the separation mechanism to work simultaneously, not only can the waste liquid be recovered from the scraper 1000 to the separation mechanism, but the waste liquid entering the separation mechanism can also be separated into gas and liquid, and the separated liquid flows into the sewage storage bin 104, so that the waste liquid can be recovered by the fan 101 while avoiding the waste liquid from entering the fan 101 and causing damage to the fan 101.

[0088] See also Figure 2 In some embodiments, the brush head module 100 also includes a driving mechanism 1002 connected to the cleaning brush 1001; the self-cleaning method of the cleaning device provided in the embodiment of the present application also includes: when executing the second cleaning process, controlling the driving mechanism 1002 to work, and the driving mechanism 1002 is used to drive the cleaning brush 1001 to reciprocate.

[0089] For example, during the second cleaning process, the driving mechanism 1002 can be controlled to work, and the driving mechanism 1002 can be used to drive the cleaning brush 1001 to reciprocate. For example, while controlling the fan 101 and the liquid delivery device to work, the driving mechanism 1002 can also be controlled to work, so that while spraying clean water on the cleaning brush 1001, the cleaning brush 1001 is controlled to reciprocate and the fan 101 is controlled to recycle the water in the cleaning pool to the dirt storage bin 104.

[0090] In the above embodiment, by controlling the driving mechanism 1002 to work, the cleaning brush 1001 can be driven to reciprocate, so that the stains remaining inside the cleaning brush 1001 can be better cleaned.

[0091] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the self-cleaning process also includes a drying process. The self-cleaning method of the cleaning device provided in the embodiment of the present application also includes: when it is detected that the base station 40 turns on the heating function, the drying process is executed to control the operation of the fan 101. The fan 101 is used to form a negative pressure in the separation mechanism to pump the hot air generated by the base station 40 from the suction hole of the scraper 1000 to the separation mechanism. The drying process is used to dry the cleaning brush 1001, the separation mechanism of the drying cleaning device 10, and the air duct between the separation mechanism and the fan 101.

[0092] It should be noted that after the cleaning device 10 completes the first cleaning process and the second cleaning process, in order to prevent the residual liquid in the body of the cleaning device 10 from causing bacteria and odor in the cleaning device 10, the drying process can also be performed to dry the cleaning brush 1001 of the cleaning device 10, the passage between the scraper 1000 and the separation mechanism, the separation mechanism, and the air duct between the separation mechanism and the fan 101. While the cleaning device 10 performs the drying process, the base station 40 can turn on the heating function to generate hot air.

[0093] Exemplarily, when a drying instruction sent by the base station 40 is received or when it is detected that the temperature of the wind generated by the base station 40 is greater than a preset temperature threshold, it is determined that the base station 40 turns on the heating function. The preset temperature threshold can be set according to actual conditions, and the specific value is not limited here.

[0094] Exemplarily, when the cleaning device 10 detects that the base station 40 turns on the heating function, it executes the drying process, sends a control signal to the fan 101, controls the operation of the fan 101, and utilizes the high-speed rotation of the fan 101 to form a negative pressure in the separation mechanism, thereby pumping the hot air generated by the base station 40 from the suction hole of the scraper 1000 to the separation mechanism, thereby drying the cleaning brush 1001, drying the separation mechanism of the cleaning device 10, and the air duct between the drying separation mechanism and the fan 101, thereby preventing the cleaning device 10 from breeding bacteria and generating odor.

[0095] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 In other embodiments, the self-cleaning process also includes a drying process. The self-cleaning method of the cleaning device provided in the embodiment of the present application also includes: when it is detected that the base station 40 turns on the heating function, the drying process is executed to control the operation of the fan 101 and the drive mechanism 1002. The fan 101 is used to form a negative pressure in the separation mechanism to pump the hot air generated by the base station 40 from the liquid suction hole of the scraper 1000 to the separation mechanism. The drive mechanism 1002 is used to drive the cleaning brush 1001 to reciprocate.

[0096] It should be noted that, when executing the drying process, the cleaning device 10 can not only control the operation of the fan 101 , but also control the operation of the driving mechanism 1002 to accelerate the drying of the cleaning brush 1001 .

[0097] Exemplarily, when it is detected that the base station 40 turns on the heating function, the drying process is executed, a control signal is sent to the fan 101 to control the operation of the fan 101, and the high-speed rotation of the fan 101 is used to form a negative pressure in the separation mechanism, so that the hot air generated by the base station 40 is pumped from the suction hole of the scraper 1000 to the separation mechanism, and a control signal is sent to the driving mechanism 1002 to control the driving mechanism 1002 to start working. Not only can the cleaning brush 1001, the drying separation mechanism and the air duct between the drying separation mechanism and the fan 101 be dried, but the driving mechanism 1002 can also be used to drive the cleaning brush 1001 to reciprocate to accelerate the drying of the cleaning brush 1001.

[0098] In some embodiments, the self-cleaning method of the cleaning equipment provided in the embodiments of the present application also includes: determining the remaining liquid capacity of the liquid storage tank, and when the remaining liquid capacity is less than a first preset threshold, outputting a first prompt message, the first prompt message is used to indicate that the liquid storage tank is short of liquid; and / or determining the waste liquid capacity of the sewage storage tank, and when the waste liquid capacity is greater than a second preset threshold, outputting a second prompt message, the second prompt message is used to indicate that the waste liquid in the sewage storage tank is full.

[0099] In the embodiment of the present application, during the self-cleaning process, the remaining liquid capacity of the liquid storage tank 103 can be detected, and when the remaining liquid capacity of the liquid storage tank 103 is less, the user is promptly reminded to add liquid to the liquid storage tank 103. In one embodiment, when the remaining liquid capacity of the liquid storage tank 103 is less, the user can be reminded to add liquid to the liquid storage tank 103 by flashing a light. Among them, the light set on the body of the cleaning device 10 can be controlled to emit light, for example, the LED light is controlled to emit light.

[0100] Exemplarily, the remaining liquid capacity of the liquid storage tank 103 may be detected by means of electrodes or capacitors, wherein the method for detecting the remaining liquid capacity of the liquid storage tank 103 may refer to related technologies and is not limited here.

[0101] In some embodiments, the remaining liquid capacity of the first liquid storage tank 1030 can be detected, and when the remaining liquid capacity is less than a first preset threshold, a prompt message indicating that the first liquid storage tank 1030 is short of water is output. Figure 4 As shown, when it is detected that the remaining liquid capacity of the first liquid storage tank 1030 is less than the first preset threshold, an icon of "fresh water tank lacks water" can be displayed on the display screen.

[0102] In other embodiments, when the liquid delivery device is controlled to work, if it is detected that the liquid outlet of the liquid storage tank 103 does not discharge liquid within a preset time, a prompt message is displayed indicating that the first liquid storage tank 1030 is short of water. The preset time can be set according to actual conditions, and the specific value is not limited here.

[0103] In the embodiment of the present application, a capacitive sensor or a photoelectric sensor may be installed on the liquid outlet of the first liquid storage tank 1030. If the liquid outlet does not discharge liquid for a period of time, it is determined that the first liquid storage tank 1030 is short of water.

[0104] In the above embodiment, by determining the remaining liquid capacity of the liquid storage tank 103, when the remaining liquid capacity is less than a first preset threshold, a first prompt message is output to indicate that the liquid storage tank 103 is short of liquid, so as to promptly remind the user to add liquid to the liquid storage tank 103 to avoid affecting the self-cleaning process of the cleaning device 10.

[0105] During the self-cleaning process, the waste liquid capacity of the waste storage tank 104 can also be detected. If the waste liquid capacity is detected to be greater than the second preset threshold, a second prompt message indicating that the waste liquid in the waste storage tank 104 is full is output. The second preset threshold can be set according to actual conditions, and the specific value is not limited here. Figure 5 As shown, a prompt message "sewage tank is full" can be displayed on the display.

[0106] In the above embodiment, by detecting the waste liquid capacity of the waste liquid storage bin 104 and outputting a second prompt message indicating that the waste liquid in the waste liquid storage bin 104 is full when the waste liquid capacity is greater than a second preset threshold, the operation of the cleaning device 10 can be stopped and the user can be promptly reminded to pour out the waste liquid in the waste liquid storage bin 104 to avoid overflow due to excessive waste liquid in the waste liquid storage bin 104.

[0107] See also Figure 2 In some embodiments, the cleaning device 10 also includes a display screen 111 and a separation mechanism (not shown in the figure), and a HEPA is arranged between the separation mechanism and the fan 101; the self-cleaning method of the cleaning device provided in the embodiment of the present application also includes: when the target object of the cleaning device 10 is not detected, a prompt message indicating that the target object is not installed is displayed on the display screen 111, and the target object is any one of the liquid storage tank 103, the dirt storage tank 104, the cleaning brush 1001, and the HEPA.

[0108] It should be noted that the HEPA is arranged above the separation mechanism and is connected to the inside of the separation mechanism. The HEPA plays a filtering role and is used to protect the fan 101.

[0109] Exemplarily, a plurality of Hall sensors may be provided on the cleaning device 10, for respectively detecting whether the liquid storage bin 103, the dirt storage bin 104, the cleaning brush 1001 and the HEPA are installed in place.

[0110] For example, Figure 6 As shown, when the first liquid storage tank 1030 is not detected by the Hall sensor, a prompt message "clean water tank not installed" is displayed on the display screen 111.

[0111] For example, Figure 7 As shown, when the second liquid storage tank 1031 is not detected by the Hall sensor, a prompt message "sewage tank not installed" is displayed on the display screen 111.

[0112] For example, Figure 8 As shown, when the cleaning brush 1001 is not detected by the Hall sensor, a prompt message "brush head not installed" is displayed on the display screen 111.

[0113] For example, Fig. 9 As shown, when the HEPA is not detected by the Hall sensor, a prompt message "HEPA not installed" is displayed on the display screen 111.

[0114] In the above embodiment, when the target object of the cleaning device 10 is not detected, a prompt message indicating that the target object is not installed is displayed on the display screen 111, so that the user can be accurately informed of which component of the cleaning device 10 has a problem, thereby facilitating detection and maintenance by the user.

[0115] In some embodiments, the self-cleaning method of the cleaning device provided in the embodiments of the present application also includes: when it is detected that the cleaning device 10 leaves the base station 40, a first stop signal is sent to the base station 40, and the first stop signal is used to instruct the base station 40 to stop cleaning the cleaning device 10, and record the current cleaning progress, so that the base station 40 can clean the cleaning device 10 based on the current cleaning progress when it detects that the cleaning device 10 is returned to the base station 40.

[0116] In the embodiment of the present application, when the cleaning device 10 performs a self-cleaning process, if the user picks up the cleaning device 10 from the base station 40, the base station 40 can record the current cleaning progress of the base station 40. The cleaning process that the base station 40 needs to perform includes an ultrasonic vibration cleaning process and a heating process.

[0117] Exemplarily, when the cleaning device 10 has not completed the self-cleaning process, if it is detected that the cleaning device 10 leaves the base station 40, the cleaning device 10 may send a first stop signal to the base station 40, and the first stop signal is used to instruct the base station 40 to stop cleaning the cleaning device 10. At this time, the base station 40 can record the current cleaning progress, for example, the ultrasonic vibration cleaning process is executed to the 6th minute. When the base station 40 detects that the cleaning device 10 is returned to the base station 40, the cleaning device 10 is cleaned based on the current cleaning progress. For example, the base station 40 cleans the cleaning device 10 based on the 6th minute of the ultrasonic vibration cleaning process. If the total duration of the ultrasonic vibration cleaning process is 10 minutes, the base station 40 continues to perform ultrasonic vibration cleaning on the cleaning device 10 for 4 minutes, and then performs the heating process.

[0118] In the above embodiment, by sending a first stop signal to the base station 40 when detecting that the cleaning device 10 leaves the base station 40, the base station 40 can stop cleaning the cleaning device 10 and record the current cleaning progress. When the base station 40 detects that the cleaning device 10 is returned to the base station 40, the base station 40 can clean the cleaning device 10 based on the current cleaning progress, thereby avoiding the base station 40 from re-executing the entire cleaning process, thereby saving time and improving cleaning efficiency.

[0119] In some embodiments, the self-cleaning method of the cleaning equipment provided in the embodiments of the present application further includes: when it is detected that the cleaning equipment 10 is in an abnormal state, sending a second stop signal to the base station 40, the second stop signal is used to instruct the base station 40 to stop cleaning the cleaning equipment 10, and record the current cleaning progress, so that the base station 40 can clean the cleaning equipment 10 based on the current cleaning progress when it is detected that the cleaning equipment 10 has returned to normal. The abnormal state includes that the cleaning equipment 10 is not installed with the liquid storage tank 103, the dirt storage tank 104, the cleaning brush 1001 or the HEPA, or the liquid storage tank 103 is short of liquid, or the waste liquid in the dirt storage tank 104 is full.

[0120] Exemplarily, when it is detected that the cleaning device 10 is not installed with the liquid storage tank 103, the dirt storage tank 104, the cleaning brush 1001 or the HEPA, or the liquid storage tank 103 is short of liquid, or the waste liquid in the dirt storage tank 104 is full, it is determined that the cleaning device 10 is in an abnormal state. At this time, the cleaning device 10 stops executing the self-cleaning process and sends a second stop signal to the base station 40. The second stop signal is used to instruct the base station 40 to stop cleaning the cleaning device 10. At this time, the base station 40 records the current cleaning progress so that the base station 40 can clean the cleaning device 10 based on the current cleaning progress when it is detected that the cleaning device 10 has returned to normal.

[0121] In the embodiment of the present application, there may be multiple ways to determine whether the cleaning device 10 has returned to a normal state, which is not limited in the present application. For example, after the user eliminates the abnormal problem of the cleaning device 10, the cleaning device 10 may be restarted. At this time, the cleaning device 10 may send a message of returning to a normal state to the base station 40. When the base station 40 receives the message of returning to a normal state sent by the cleaning device 10, it continues to clean the cleaning device 10 based on the current cleaning progress.

[0122] In the above embodiment, when the cleaning device 10 is detected to be in an abnormal state, the second stop signal is sent to the base station 40, so that the base station 40 stops cleaning the cleaning device 10 and records the current cleaning progress. After the cleaning device 10 returns to a normal state, the base station 40 cleans the cleaning device 10 based on the current cleaning progress, avoiding the base station 40 from re-executing the entire cleaning process, thereby saving time and improving cleaning efficiency.

[0123] In the embodiment of the present application, the self-cleaning method of the cleaning device can also be applied to the base station 40, that is, the self-cleaning method of the cleaning device is executed by the base station 40. The following will take the base station 40 as the execution body to explain how to self-clean the cleaning device 10.

[0124] See also Figure 2 , Fig.10 and Fig.11 The base station 40 may include a cleaning pool 400 , a placement position 401 , a trigger component 402 , a charging component 403 , an ultrasonic component 404 , a heating component 405 , an air supply component 406 , an air supply channel 407 and an air guide structure 408 .

[0125] Among them, the cleaning pool 400 is used to accommodate the cleaning brush 1001 of the cleaning device 10. Two trigger components 402 are respectively located on both sides of the placement position 401. In the embodiment, the two trigger components 402 are triggered by buttons. The charging component 403 is arranged at the bottom of the arc-shaped concave of the placement position 401 and close to the side of the cleaning pool 400. The charging component 403 can be selected from one of the contact type and the interface type. The ultrasonic component 404 may include an ultrasonic transmitter, the air supply component 406 may include a fan, and the heating component 405 may include a heating tube or a heating wire. The air guide structure 408 has an air-inducing curved surface connecting the cleaning pool 400 and the air outlet. When the cleaned cleaning brush 1001 is dried with hot air, the air guide structure 408 has the function of gathering and guiding the hot air blown out of the air outlet, so that the hot air is more concentrated and blown to the cleaning brush 1001 in the cleaning pool 400, thereby accelerating the speed of hot air drying.

[0126] It should be noted that when the cleaning device 10 is placed in the placement position 401, the charging component 403 at the bottom of the placement position 401 contacts the charging port of the body of the cleaning device 10, so that the cleaning device 10 can be charged when placed in the placement position 401. Therefore, when the cleaning device 10 is placed in the placement position 401, the base station 40 can provide the cleaning device 10 with basic placement, fixing and charging functions.

[0127] When the cleaning device 10 is placed at the placement position 401 , the space of the cleaning pool 400 fits the cleaning brush 1001 , so that the cleaning brush 1001 of the cleaning device 10 can be placed and accommodated in the cleaning pool 400 and corresponds to the air guide structure 408 .

[0128] With such arrangement, when the cleaning device 10 is placed in the placement position 401, after the cleaning liquid is injected into the cleaning pool 400, the ultrasonic component 404 uses the cleaning liquid in the cleaning pool 400 to perform ultrasonic cleaning on the cleaning brush 1001, and the ultrasonic cleaning can clean and decompose the stains deep in the cleaning brush 1001 through vibration. After the cleaning is completed and the sewage is extracted, the airflow generated by the air supply component 406 passes through the heating component 405 to form hot air, and the hot air passes through the air supply channel 407 and blows from the air guide structure 408 to the cleaning brush 1001 in the cleaning pool 400. Through the hot air drying after ultrasonic cleaning, the wet parts such as the cleaning brush 1001 and the cleaning pool 400 can be quickly dried with hot air, avoiding the unclean phenomena such as odor and bacterial growth caused by moisture and water accumulation.

[0129] See also Figure 2In some embodiments, the self-cleaning method of the cleaning device may include: when detecting that the cleaning device 10 is placed on the base station 40, sending a self-cleaning instruction to the cleaning device 10, so that the cleaning device 10 performs a self-cleaning process according to the self-cleaning instruction, and the self-cleaning process includes at least one first cleaning process and at least one second cleaning process. When executing the first cleaning process, the cleaning device 10 controls the liquid delivery device to work, and the liquid delivery device is used to pump the liquid in the liquid storage tank 103 to the cleaning tank 400 to clean the cleaning brush 1001; when executing the second cleaning process, the cleaning device 10 controls the fan 101 to work, and the fan 101 is used to form a negative pressure in the dirt storage tank 104, so as to recover the liquid in the cleaning tank 400 from the suction hole of the scraper 1000 to the dirt storage tank 104.

[0130] Exemplarily, when it is detected that the cleaning device 10 is placed on the base station 40, the base station 40 may send a self-cleaning instruction to the cleaning device 10. The self-cleaning instruction is used to instruct the cleaning device 10 to start executing the self-cleaning process. It should be noted that the specific process of the cleaning device 10 executing the self-cleaning process can be referred to the detailed description of the above embodiment, which will not be repeated here.

[0131] Exemplarily, when it is detected that the cleaning device 10 is placed on the base station 40, the base station 40 may also charge the cleaning device 10. For example, the battery module in the cleaning device 10 may be charged by the charging component 403.

[0132] In the above embodiment, by sending a self-cleaning instruction to the cleaning device 10 when it is detected that the cleaning device 10 is placed on the base station 40, the cleaning device 10 can execute the self-cleaning process according to the self-cleaning instruction, utilize the liquid conveying device to pump the liquid in the liquid storage tank 103 to the cleaning pool 400, clean the cleaning brush 1001, and utilize the fan 101 to form a negative pressure in the dirt storage tank 104, recover the liquid in the cleaning pool 400 from the liquid suction hole of the scraper 1000 to the dirt storage tank 104, and clean the channel between the scraper 1000 and the dirt storage tank 104, so that the automatic cleaning function can be realized by utilizing the liquid conveying device of the cleaning device 10 itself and the fan 101 in cooperation with the cleaning pool 400 in the base station 40, without the user having to manually clean the cleaning device 10, thereby effectively improving the cleaning efficiency and cleaning effect of the cleaning device 10.

[0133] See also Figure 2 , Fig.10 and Fig.11 In some embodiments, when the cleaning device 10 performs the first cleaning process, the self-cleaning method of the cleaning device provided in the embodiment of the present application also includes: if it is detected that the cleaning pool 400 is full of water, the ultrasonic component 404 is controlled to send ultrasonic waves to the cleaning pool 400 to vibrate and clean the cleaning brush 1001.

[0134] Exemplarily, whether the cleaning pool 400 is full of water can be determined by detecting the running time of the water pump of the cleaning device 10 or the water discharge time of the first liquid storage tank 1030. In addition, the water level of the cleaning pool 400 can also be controlled by the running time of the water pump or the water discharge time of the first liquid storage tank 1030.

[0135] Exemplarily, when it is detected that the cleaning pool 400 is full of water, the ultrasonic component 404 can be controlled to send ultrasonic waves to the cleaning pool 400 to vibrate and clean the cleaning brush 1001. Of course, when the cleaning device 10 controls the liquid delivery device to start working, the base station 40 can control the ultrasonic component 404 to send ultrasonic waves to the cleaning pool 400. When it is detected that the cleaning pool 400 is filled with water, the base station 40 can also control the ultrasonic component 404 to send ultrasonic waves to the cleaning pool 400.

[0136] Illustratively, when the base station 40 controls the ultrasonic component 404 to send ultrasonic waves to the cleaning pool 400 to vibrate and clean the cleaning brush 1001, the cleaning device 10 can also control the driving mechanism 1002 to operate, and use the driving mechanism 1002 to drive the cleaning brush 1001 to reciprocate, which can accelerate the decomposition of dirt in the cleaning brush 1001 and improve the cleaning efficiency and cleaning effect of the cleaning brush 1001.

[0137] See also Figure 2 and Fig.11 In some embodiments, after the cleaning device 10 completes the second cleaning process, the self-cleaning method of the cleaning device provided in the embodiment of the present application also includes: controlling the heating component 405 to heat and controlling the air supply component 406 to blow the heating component 405, so that the generated hot air is blown into the cleaning pool 400, and the cleaning device 10 is used to pump the hot air in the cleaning pool 400 from the liquid suction hole of the scraper 1000 to the separation mechanism of the cleaning device 10.

[0138] Exemplarily, after the cleaning device 10 completes the second cleaning process, the base station 40 can control the heating component 405 to heat and control the air supply component 406 to blow air to the heating component 405, and the hot air generated by the air supply component 406 and the heating component 405 is blown into the cleaning pool 400. At this time, the cleaning device 10 executes a drying process to pump the hot air from the suction hole of the scraper 1000 to the separation mechanism, so that the cleaning brush 1001, the passage between the scraper 1000 and the separation mechanism, the separation mechanism, and the air duct between the separation mechanism and the fan 101 can be dried with hot air, thereby avoiding unclean phenomena such as odor and bacterial growth caused by moisture and water accumulation, and thus effectively improving the cleaning efficiency and cleaning effect of the cleaning device 10.

[0139] In some embodiments, the self-cleaning method of the cleaning device provided in the embodiments of the present application also includes: when receiving a first stop signal sent when the cleaning device 10 leaves the base station 40, stopping cleaning the cleaning device 10 based on the first stop signal, recording the current cleaning progress, and when the cleaning device 10 is returned to the base station 40, cleaning the cleaning device 10 based on the current cleaning progress.

[0140] Exemplarily, when the cleaning device 10 has not completed the self-cleaning process, the cleaning device 10 may send a first stop signal to the base station 40 when leaving the base station 40. The first stop signal is used to instruct the base station 40 to stop cleaning the cleaning device 10. At this time, the base station 40 can record the current cleaning progress, for example, the ultrasonic vibration cleaning process is executed to the 6th minute. When the base station 40 detects that the cleaning device 10 is returned to the base station 40, it cleans the cleaning device 10 based on the current cleaning progress. For example, the base station 40 starts cleaning the cleaning device 10 based on the 6th minute of the ultrasonic vibration cleaning process. If the total duration of the ultrasonic vibration cleaning process is 10 minutes, the base station 40 continues to perform ultrasonic vibration cleaning on the cleaning device 10 for 4 minutes, and then performs the heating process.

[0141] In the above embodiment, upon receiving the first stop signal sent when the cleaning device 10 leaves the base station 40, the base station 40 stops cleaning the cleaning device 10 and records the current cleaning progress. When the base station 40 detects that the cleaning device 10 is returned to the base station 40, it cleans the cleaning device 10 based on the current cleaning progress, thereby avoiding the base station 40 from re-executing the entire cleaning process, thereby saving time and improving cleaning efficiency.

[0142] In other embodiments, the self-cleaning method of the cleaning device provided in the embodiments of the present application further includes: when a second stop signal sent when the cleaning device 10 is in an abnormal state is received, the cleaning device 10 is stopped based on the second stop signal, the current cleaning progress is recorded, and when it is detected that the cleaning device 10 has returned to a normal state, the cleaning device 10 is cleaned based on the current cleaning progress. The abnormal state includes that the cleaning device 10 is not installed with the liquid storage tank 103, the dirt storage tank 104, the cleaning brush 1001 or the HEPA, or the liquid storage tank 103 is short of liquid, or the waste liquid in the dirt storage tank 104 is full.

[0143] See also Figures 4 to 9When the cleaning device 10 detects that the liquid storage tank 103, the dirt storage tank 104, the cleaning brush 1001 or the HEPA is not installed, or the liquid storage tank 103 is short of liquid, or the waste liquid in the dirt storage tank 104 is full, it is determined that the cleaning device 10 is in an abnormal state. At this time, the cleaning device 10 stops executing the self-cleaning process and sends a second stop signal to the base station 40. The second stop signal is used to instruct the base station 40 to stop cleaning the cleaning device 10. At this time, the base station 40 records the current cleaning progress so that the base station 40 can clean the cleaning device 10 based on the current cleaning progress when it detects that the cleaning device 10 has returned to normal.
