[0002] Nowadays, floor scrubbers, as a highly efficient floor cleaning equipment, have been widely used in various places. Moreover, with the users' demand for cleaning different floors and different cleaning areas, a variety of floor scrubber roller brushes suitable for different floor materials have appeared on the market.

[0003] Typically, floor scrubbers are equipped with a corresponding base station to automatically clean the scrubber's roller brush. However, these base stations are primarily designed to clean roller brushes of specific materials and sizes. They struggle to effectively clean roller brushes that are suitable for different floor materials, cleaning areas, or those with non-standard diameters or special materials. This makes maintenance of these different roller brushes difficult, impacting the overall lifespan and cleaning effectiveness of the equipment. Therefore, a method is urgently needed to improve the compatibility and cleaning capabilities of scrubber base stations, thereby comprehensively enhancing the intelligence and universality of scrubbers.

[0058] The technical solution of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0059] The roller brush cleaning method provided in the embodiment of the present application can be applied to Figure 1 Cleaning system 100 is shown.

[0060] The cleaning system 100 includes a base station 112, a cleaning device 110, and a control terminal 120. The cleaning device body also includes a cleaning device body 111 and a base station 112. The control terminal 120 is in communication with a controller mounted on the base station 112 and a controller mounted on the cleaning device body 111. When the cleaning device body 111 is not required to perform floor cleaning work, it can be placed in the base station 112 for charging.

[0061] Specifically, the cleaning device body 111 can be, but is not limited to, a sweeper, a mop, etc.

[0062] like Figure 2 As shown, a storage space 1121 and a plurality of liquid supply pipes are provided on the base station 112, and a plurality of liquid outlets can be provided on the storage space 1121, and the liquid outlets are randomly distributed in the storage space 1121. When the cleaning device body 111 is placed on the base station 112, the liquid supply pipe of the base station 112 can be connected to the liquid storage space on the cleaning device body 111, and the cleaning liquid stored in the liquid storage space can be input into the storage space 1121 through the liquid outlet.

[0063] In one embodiment, an additional liquid storage space may be separately provided on the base station 112. When the cleaning device body 111 is placed on the base station 112, the liquid supply pipeline of the base station 112 can input the cleaning liquid stored in the liquid storage space on the base station 112 into the accommodating space 1121.

[0064] The cleaning device 110 is controlled to input cleaning liquid into the storage space. At this time, the source of the cleaning liquid can be determined according to user input, pre-programmed or actual conditions, and is not limited here. For example, if the base station 112 does not have a separate liquid storage space, the cleaning liquid is all derived from the liquid storage space on the cleaning device body 111. Alternatively, when the base station 112 has a separate liquid storage space and the remaining liquid meets the self-cleaning requirements, the cleaning liquid can be controlled to be provided from the separate liquid storage space on the base station 112 for executing the self-cleaning mode of the cleaning device 110. When both the cleaning device body 111 and the base station 112 are provided with liquid storage spaces, the cleaning device body 111 and the base station 112 can also be controlled to simultaneously input the cleaning liquid into the storage space 1121.

[0065] In addition, a water absorption structure may be provided on the base station 112 , and the water absorption structure is used to absorb water from the accommodating space 1121 .

[0066] The cleaning device body 111 is provided with a mounting cavity and a roller brush mounted in the mounting cavity for cleaning the floor. Furthermore, the mounting cavity of the cleaning device body 111 may also be provided with a liquid outlet. The liquid storage space on the cleaning device body 111 is used to spray the stored cleaning liquid onto the roller brush through the liquid outlet holes in the mounting cavity. The liquid outlet holes in the mounting cavity may be randomly distributed on the surface of the mounting cavity. Furthermore, the mounting cavity of the cleaning device body 111 may also be provided with a water absorption structure for absorbing water from the accommodating space 1121.

[0067] When the cleaning device body 111 is placed on the base station 112 , the roller brush on the cleaning device body 111 is placed in the accommodation space 1121 of the base station 112 .

[0068] After completing the ground cleaning task, the cleaning device body 111 returns to the base station 112. At this time, the roller brush on the cleaning device body 111 is placed in the storage space 1121 of the base station 112. The liquid supply pipeline of the base station 112 is connected to the liquid storage space on the cleaning device body 111. If the cleaning device body 111 and the base station 112 both receive the cleaning instructions issued by the controller 130, the base station 112 can input the cleaning liquid stored in the liquid storage space on the cleaning device body 111 into the storage space 1121 through the liquid supply pipeline and the liquid outlet in the storage space 1121. The cleaning device body 111 can simultaneously spray the cleaning liquid stored in the storage space to the surface of the roller brush through the liquid outlet in the installation cavity to clean the roller brush.

[0069] Furthermore, after the roller brush is cleaned, the base station 112 can absorb the cleaning liquid in the accommodating space 1121 into the sewage tank set on the base station 112 through the water absorption structure, or the cleaning device body 111 can absorb the cleaning liquid in the accommodating space 1121 into the sewage tank set on the cleaning device body 111 through the water absorption structure in the installation cavity.

[0070] Specifically, the water outlet direction of each liquid outlet in the base station 112 is inclined downward and tangent to the outer circumference of the roller brush. In this way, the sewage generated after the cleaning liquid cleans the roller brush can directly flow into the accommodating space 1121 and then be sucked away by the water absorption structure and discharged without polluting the area on the roller brush that has been cleaned again.

[0071] The roller brush in this embodiment does not need to be manually cleaned, which reduces the difficulty of manually cleaning the roller brush. In addition, when cleaning the roller brush, the cleaning device body 111 can improve the roller brush cleaning effect by controlling the roller brush to rotate alternately forward and backward.

[0072] In one possible implementation, the base station 112 is further provided with at least one heating element, which is used to generate heat toward the accommodation space 1121. As an example, the heating element can be provided around the surface of the accommodation space 1121.

[0073] In one possible implementation, the heating element may be, for example, an infrared heater, and at least a portion of the surface of the accommodating space 1121 may be a transmissive plate. The infrared heater disposed in the accommodating space 1121 is configured to emit infrared rays, and at least a portion of the infrared rays is radiated into the accommodating space 1121 through the transmissive plate. As an example, the infrared heater may be disposed at the bottom of the accommodating space 1121.

[0074] In one possible implementation, the accommodating space 1121 of the base station 112 may be provided with Hall plates at positions corresponding to both sides of the roller brush for detecting the magnetic field. Accordingly, magnets may be embedded on both sides of a specific type of roller brush, such as a bristle brush. When the roller brush on the cleaning device body 111 is placed in the accommodating space 1121 of the base station 112, the Hall plate can monitor the surrounding magnetic field in real time. When the Hall plate detects the magnetic field, it can output a Hall voltage signal. The base station 112 can send the Hall voltage signal to the control terminal 120. The control terminal 120 determines that the roller brush placed in the accommodating space 1121 is a bristle brush based on the Hall voltage signal. When the Hall plate does not detect the magnetic field, the Hall plate does not output the Hall voltage signal. At this time, the control terminal 120 can determine that the roller brush placed in the accommodating space 1121 is a type of roller brush other than a bristle brush, such as a velvet brush.

[0075] like Figure 3As shown, in one possible implementation, the roller brush carried on the cleaning device body 111 may include at least two types of first roller brushes and second roller brushes, the first roller brush includes a velvet brush, and the second roller brush includes a bristle brush; the bristle brush includes a main body, a plurality of first brush strips 302 and a plurality of second brush strips 304, the first brush strips 302 and the second brush strips 304 are respectively arranged on the outer surface of the main body at intervals along the circumferential direction; and the first brush strips 302 and the second brush strips 304 are made of different materials.

[0076] In one embodiment, the bristle brush has a smaller diameter than the lint brush.

[0077] like Figure 4 As shown, the surface of the flock brush is not covered with flock compared to the velvet brush, and in order to avoid the toothed hanging bar 402 provided for the velvet brush in the installation cavity of common cleaning equipment, the diameter of the flock brush is generally set to be smaller than the velvet brush (the black circle is the outer diameter of the velvet brush, and the red circle is the outer diameter of the flock brush).

[0078] Moreover, the smaller-sized bristle brush can generate stronger shear force when rotating, which is used to clean the stains and fibers adhered to the surface to be cleaned, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency of the carpet.

[0079] In one embodiment, the material of the second brush strip 304 is the same as that of the lint brush.

[0080] The first brush bar 302 may be a bristle brush bar, and the second brush bar 304 may be a velvet brush bar.

[0081] Compared with hard-bristle brush strips, velvet brush strips have a richer brush area and a delicate bristle structure, and better water absorption. This enables the planted brush equipped with velvet brush strips to absorb liquid stains faster. When the surface to be cleaned is a carpet, the velvet brush strips set on the planted brush can quickly absorb liquid stains on the carpet, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the carpet.

[0082] In addition, the soft bristles of the velvet brush strips can better stir and disperse the cleaning liquid. In this way, when the cleaning device body 111 is placed on the base station 112, the cleaning liquid in the accommodating space 1121 can more evenly clean the hard brush strips and velvet brush strips on the surface of the planted brush, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the roller brush.

[0083] In one embodiment, the coverage area of the second brush strip 304 on the outer surface of the main body does not exceed the coverage area of the first brush strip 302 on the outer surface of the main body.

[0084] If the fluff brush strips are designed to be too dense, it may increase the friction of the roller brush, affect the rotation efficiency of the roller brush, and may cause damage to the carpet. In addition, the overly dense fluff may cause the brushes to tangle with each other, affecting the cleaning effect and lifespan; while the hard-bristle brush strips are good at removing harder dust and impurities, and the large coverage area contributes to the overall cleaning effect. In order to balance the cleaning effect and efficiency, by limiting the coverage area of the fluff brush strips, it can ensure that the planted brush can reduce damage to the carpet while ensuring cleaning efficiency.

[0085] The bristle brush in this embodiment is equipped with a velvet brush strip in addition to the traditional bristle brush which is only provided with a hard bristle brush strip. The velvet brush strip can quickly absorb liquid stains on the carpet, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the bristle brush on the carpet; and the velvet brush strip can enhance the stirring effect of the cleaning liquid, thereby improving the self-cleaning effect of the bristle brush.

[0086] In one embodiment, a roller brush cleaning method is provided. This embodiment uses the roller brush cleaning method applied to the control terminal in any of the above embodiments as an example. Figure 5 As shown, the roller brush cleaning method includes:

[0087] Step 502. In response to a cleaning instruction, when the roller brush carried by the cleaning device is placed in the accommodating space, the target type of the roller brush is determined; wherein the target type includes at least a first roller brush and a second roller brush; the first roller brush includes a velvet brush, and the second roller brush includes a bristle brush. The surface structures of the velvet brush and the bristle brush are different, and they are used to clean different surfaces or areas to be cleaned.

[0088] The cleaning instruction refers to an instruction for the roller brush mounted on the cleaning device to perform self-cleaning.

[0089] The cleaning instructions can be issued by staff through the human-computer interaction interface of the control terminal. The human-computer interaction interface of the control terminal can specifically display a platform interface pre-specified by the cleaning system service provider for controlling the cleaning system. Users can issue cleaning instructions by clicking on a pre-integrated virtual component for instructing the roller brush to self-clean on the designated platform interface. Alternatively, the cleaning instruction can be automatically generated when the control terminal detects that the cleaning device has been placed on the base station and the placement time has reached a preset length.

[0090] The first roller brush and the second roller brush are used to indicate two different types of roller brushes. As an example, the cleaning equipment can be equipped with different types of roller brushes, such as a common floor brush (i.e., a velvet brush) or a carpet brush (i.e., a planted bristle brush). The main difference between a planted bristle brush and an ordinary velvet brush lies in the structure and cleaning function. The bristles on the planted bristle brush are usually harder and shorter, and are usually made of harder materials such as nylon to enhance the cleaning effect on carpet fibers. They are suitable for short-haired carpets, floor mats and other materials. Ordinary velvet brushes are suitable for hard floors, such as tiles, wooden floors, marble, etc., and the bristles are usually softer and longer. In addition, in order to avoid the hanging bar that squeezes water for the floor brush, the outer diameter of the bristles of the planted brush is usually smaller than that of the floor brush. Compared with the distance between the floor brush and the bottom of the receiving space, the distance between the planted brush and the bottom of the receiving space is larger, and the planted brush cannot fully brush the receiving space with its bristles during rotation. Therefore, during the cleaning stage of the roller brush self-cleaning, the stains attached to the surface of the planted brush will gradually be deposited on the edge of the receiving space with the surge caused by the rotation of the roller brush, causing stains to remain in the receiving space after cleaning, thereby reducing the self-cleaning effect.

[0091] The target type in this embodiment refers to, for example, a bristle-planted brush. Magnets can be pre-installed on both sides of the brush. When the roller brush on the cleaning device is placed in the storage space of the base station, the Hall plate in the storage space can monitor the surrounding magnetic field in real time. When the Hall plate detects the magnetic field, it can output a Hall voltage signal. The base station can send the Hall voltage signal to the control terminal. The control terminal determines that the roller brush placed in the storage space is a bristle-planted brush based on the Hall voltage signal. When the Hall plate does not detect the magnetic field, the Hall plate does not output a Hall voltage signal. At this time, the control terminal can determine that the roller brush placed in the storage space is not a bristle-planted brush. It should be noted that different types of roller brushes can be identified by changing the type of roller brush provided with a magnet, thereby further realizing differentiated self-cleaning processing of different types of roller brushes.

[0092] Step 504a: When the target type indicates that the roller brush is a lint brush, control the base station to execute the first self-cleaning mode.

[0093] Step 504b: When the target type indicates that the roller brush is a bristle brush, control the base station to execute the second self-cleaning mode.

[0094] Specifically, controlling the base station to execute the first self-cleaning mode includes:

[0095] Controlling the cleaning device to input a first amount of cleaning liquid into the receiving space, and controlling the cleaning device to perform a cleaning action;

[0096] Controlling the cleaning device to input a second amount of cleaning liquid into the receiving space, and controlling the cleaning device to perform a cleaning action, and repeating the process of controlling the cleaning device to input the second amount of cleaning liquid into the receiving space, and controlling the cleaning device to perform a cleaning action, until the first self-cleaning mode is completed;

[0097] Controlling the base station to execute a second self-cleaning mode includes:

[0098] Controlling the cleaning device to input a third amount of cleaning liquid into the receiving space, and controlling the cleaning device to perform a cleaning action;

[0099] Control the cleaning device to input a fourth amount of cleaning liquid into the holding space, and control the cleaning device to perform a cleaning action, and repeat the process of controlling the cleaning device to input a fourth amount of cleaning liquid into the holding space, and controlling the cleaning device to perform a cleaning action until the second self-cleaning mode is completed; the third amount of water is less than the first amount of water, and the fourth amount of water is less than the third amount of water.

[0100] Specifically, when the control terminal in this embodiment determines that the roller brush placed in the accommodating space is a velvet brush, it can generate a first water release instruction and send it to the base station, thereby controlling the base station to input a first amount of cleaning liquid into the accommodating space within a first preset time period to clean the roller brush. The first amount of cleaning liquid mainly wets the surface of the velvet brush, softens and loosens the dust, dirt and oil stains attached to the bristles of the velvet brush, making them easier to remove. Subsequently, the control terminal can generate a second water release instruction and send it to the base station, thereby controlling the base station to input a second amount of cleaning liquid into the accommodating space within a second preset time period to repeatedly clean the roller brush until the execution of the first self-cleaning mode is completed.

[0101] The control terminal in this embodiment can also generate a third water release instruction and send it to the base station when it determines that the roller brush placed in the accommodating space is a bristle brush, thereby controlling the base station to input a third amount of cleaning liquid into the accommodating space within a third preset time period to clean the roller brush. The main function of the first amount of cleaning liquid is to wet the surface of the bristle brush, soften and loosen the dust, dirt and oil stains attached to the bristles of the bristle brush, making them easier to remove. Subsequently, the control terminal can generate a fourth water release instruction and send it to the base station, thereby controlling the base station to input a fourth amount of cleaning liquid into the accommodating space within a fourth preset time period to repeatedly clean the roller brush until the execution of the first self-cleaning mode is completed.

[0102] It should be noted that the flow rate of the cleaning liquid input into the accommodation space per unit time can be controlled to remain constant by the base station. By controlling the duration of the cleaning liquid input, dynamic regulation of the water volume can be achieved. As an example, the second preset duration can be less than or equal to the first duration, thereby controlling the second water volume to be less than or equal to the first water volume. The third preset duration can be less than the first duration, thereby controlling the third water volume to be less than the first water volume. The fourth preset duration can be less than the third duration, thereby controlling the fourth water volume to be less than the third water volume.

[0103] For the velvet brush, after being cleaned with the first amount of cleaning liquid, there may be residual cleaning liquid in the storage space and on the velvet brush. If the second amount of water is greater than the first amount of water, the liquid level of the cleaning liquid in the storage space may be too high. When the liquid level of the cleaning liquid in the storage space reaches Figure 6 When the liquid level reaches the failure level, if the cleaning device rotates the fluff brush at this time, the surge caused by the rotation of the fluff brush is likely to wash the stains into the cleaning dead corner area 602 in the accommodating space, thereby affecting the self-cleaning efficiency of the cleaning system. At this time, the control terminal can generate a second water discharge instruction and send it to the base station to control the base station to input a second amount of cleaning liquid into the accommodating space. At this time, the second water amount is less than the first water amount to improve the cleaning effect of the fluff brush.

[0104] Alternatively, because the bristles of the velvet brush are soft and long, the water absorption rate of the velvet brush is better, and the first amount of cleaning liquid input into the holding space by the base station for the first time can be regarded as being completely absorbed by the velvet brush, that is, it can be understood that there is no partial residue of the cleaning liquid input into the holding space by the base station for the first time. At this time, the control terminal can generate a second water discharge instruction and send it to the base station to control the base station to input a second amount of cleaning liquid into the holding space. At this time, the second amount of water is equal to the first amount of water.

[0105] It can be understood that when the cleaning system is self-cleaning the velvet brush, the cleaning liquid input into the accommodating space for the second and subsequent times can always be kept at the first water volume to achieve thorough cleaning of the velvet brush.

[0106] Compared with the velvet brush, the bristle brush is smaller in size and has worse water absorption. The bristle brush will sink to the bottom of the storage space if it is insufficient. If the amount of cleaning liquid input into the storage space for the first time to clean the bristle brush is greater than or equal to the amount of cleaning liquid input into the storage space for the first time to clean the velvet brush, the cleaning equipment will inevitably rotate the bristle brush to cause a surge in the water surface of the cleaning liquid in the storage space, which will flush the stains into the cleaning dead corner area 602 in the storage space. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce the amount of cleaning liquid input into the storage space for the first time to clean the bristle brush. Further considering that after cleaning with the third amount of cleaning liquid, some cleaning liquid may remain in the storage space and on the bristle brush, therefore, when the bristle brush is repeatedly cleaned, the cleaning effect of the bristle brush can be improved by further reducing the amount of cleaning liquid input into the storage space to the fourth amount.

[0107] The above-mentioned cleaning action may include, for example, slow rotation and fast rotation of the roller brush, wherein the slow rotation is used to wet the roller brush evenly so as to clean the surface of the roller brush with cleaning liquid, and the fast rotation is used to quickly dry the roller brush.

[0108] It should be noted that after the cleaning device completes the cleaning action, the control terminal can also generate a water discharge instruction and send it to the base station, thereby controlling the water absorption structure in the base station to extract the sewage generated after the cleaning liquid cleans the roller brush.

[0109] In one possible implementation, the control terminal may generate a first drain instruction, a second drain instruction, a third drain instruction, or a fourth drain instruction and send it to at least one of the base station and the cleaning device, thereby controlling the base station and / or the cleaning device to input the cleaning liquid into the storage space until the total amount of cleaning liquid input into the storage space reaches the first water volume, the second water volume, the third water volume, or the fourth water volume. Furthermore, after the cleaning device completes the cleaning action, the control terminal may also generate a drain instruction and send it to at least one of the base station and the cleaning device, thereby controlling the water absorption structure in the base station and / or the water absorption structure in the cleaning device to remove the sewage generated after the cleaning liquid washes the roller brush.

[0110] Furthermore, there are multiple methods for determining whether the first self-cleaning mode has been completed or whether the second self-cleaning mode has been completed. For example, before the user clicks on the virtual component for instructing the self-cleaning of the roller brush on the human interaction interface of the control terminal to issue a cleaning instruction, he or she may also click on the conditional virtual component for indicating the self-cleaning time or the conditional virtual component for indicating the number of times the roller brush is repeatedly cleaned to clarify the conditions for the completion of the first self-cleaning mode and the completion of the second self-cleaning mode.

[0111] As an example, the control terminal can also start timing when the first water release instruction or the third water release instruction is generated, and when the timing reaches the self-cleaning time corresponding to the conditional virtual component, it determines that the first self-cleaning mode or the second self-cleaning mode has ended. Alternatively, the control terminal can count the number of times the cleaning device performs the cleaning action, and when the number reaches the water release number corresponding to the conditional virtual component, it determines that the cleaning task of the roller brush is completed.

[0112] Alternatively, a sensor may be provided in the base station, and the control terminal may determine whether the roller brush is clean based on data collected by the sensor, and when it is determined that the roller brush is clean, determine that the cleaning task of the roller brush is completed.

[0113] The above-mentioned roller brush cleaning method can realize automatic identification of roller brush types by making minimal changes to the base station and the roller brush, thereby reducing manual operations and improving the working efficiency and automation level of the cleaning system; secondly, it can adaptively adjust the roller brush cleaning process according to the type of roller brush: after confirming that it is a bristle brush, a larger amount of cleaning liquid is used for deep cleaning for the first time, which helps to remove stubborn dirt and residues; and reduce the amount of water in repeated cleaning after the second time to avoid stains being washed into the cleaning dead corners in the accommodation space, thereby ensuring the self-cleaning efficiency of the cleaning system; through relatively small modification costs, the existing base station can be compatible with the self-cleaning of the bristle brush, thereby improving the universality of the base station.

[0114] In some optional embodiments, the cleaning device is further provided with a sewage tank;

[0115] Before step 504, the following steps are also included:

[0116] The cleaning device is controlled to rotate the roller brush along a first direction and at a first speed to retain objects adhered to the roller brush in the accommodating space, and the cleaning device is controlled to suck the objects in the accommodating space into the sewage tank.

[0117] The first direction can be, for example, clockwise, and the first rotational speed can be understood as a low rotational speed. The roller brush will generate a smaller centripetal force at the first rotational speed to prevent excessive centripetal force from throwing the stains adhered to the roller brush to places not covered by the water flow.

[0118] In this embodiment, before the cleaning liquid is introduced, the control terminal can generate a low-speed rotation instruction and send it to the cleaning device to control the cleaning device to rotate the roller brush at a low speed, thereby first removing large objects, such as stains, from the roller brush and transferring them to the storage space. Furthermore, the control terminal can generate a water release instruction and send it to the base station, thereby controlling the water absorption mechanism in the base station to draw the stains in the storage space into the sewage tank.

[0119] The above-mentioned roller brush cleaning method can, before using cleaning liquid to clean the roller brush, first rotate the roller brush at a low speed to use centripetal force to preferentially shake off larger objects adhering to the roller brush, such as dry or semi-solid dirt, from the bristles to prevent these stains from sticking to water later; by shaking off larger dirt and then using cleaning liquid to dissolve the remaining stains, the sewage generated by subsequent cleaning can be more easily sucked away, avoiding the dissolution of larger stains to produce high-concentration sludge that clogs the cleaning equipment or base station, thereby reducing the amount of subsequent cleaning liquid used and at the same time improving the cleaning efficiency, achieving a more thorough and efficient cleaning effect.

[0120] In some optional embodiments, the cleaning device is further provided with a sewage tank;

[0121] Control cleaning equipment to perform cleaning actions, including:

[0122] controlling the cleaning device to rotate the roller brush in a second direction and at a second speed to clean the roller brush with the cleaning liquid;

[0123] The cleaning device is controlled to rotate the roller brush along the first direction and at a third speed to dry the roller brush, and at the same time the cleaning device is controlled to suck the cleaning liquid in the accommodating space into the sewage tank; the third speed is greater than the second speed.

[0124] The second speed and the third speed are both greater than the first speed.

[0125] The second direction may be, for example, counterclockwise. Typically, the bristles of most roller brushes are arranged obliquely. When the roller brush rotates counterclockwise, the bristles spread out naturally, thereby increasing the contact area with the cleaning liquid and improving the dirt dissolving and stripping efficiency.

[0126] In this embodiment, after controlling the base station to input cleaning liquid into the accommodating space, the control terminal can further control the cleaning device to rotate the roller brush along the second direction and at a second speed, so that the cleaning liquid can wet the roller brush and dissolve the dirt adhered to the roller brush. Subsequently, the control terminal can control the cleaning device to rotate the roller brush along the first direction and at a third speed, so as to generate a strong centripetal force through the high-speed rotation of the roller brush, thereby throwing deep dirt on the bristles (such as oil stains and sticky particles) out of the bristles.

[0127] The above-mentioned roller brush cleaning method can first rotate at a low speed to allow the cleaning liquid to evenly soak and cover the bristles of the roller brush, ensuring that the entire roller brush surface is fully wetted, which helps to soften the dirt and improve the cleaning effect; then high-speed rotation can quickly dry out excess water, so that the roller brush can generate strong centripetal force through high-speed rotation, thereby shaking out deep dirt on the bristles, thereby improving cleaning efficiency and ensuring cleaning results.

[0128] In some optional embodiments, the base station is further provided with at least one heating element, the heating element being configured to generate heat toward the accommodation space;

[0129] After step 506, the method further includes:

[0130] The base station is controlled to turn on the heating element to dry the roller brush.

[0131] After determining that the cleaning task of the roller brush is completed, the control terminal can, for example, generate a heating instruction and send it to the base station to control the base station to turn on the heating element. The heating element generates heat toward the accommodating space to gradually increase the temperature in the accommodating space, thereby accelerating the evaporation of residual moisture on the roller brush and completely removing the residual moisture on the roller brush.

[0132] The above-mentioned roller brush cleaning method can quickly evaporate the residual moisture on the roller brush by turning on the heating element, thereby shortening the drying time of the roller brush and improving the overall working efficiency of the cleaning equipment; thorough drying to avoid a humid environment can effectively inhibit the growth of bacteria, mold and odor on the roller brush and extend the service life of the roller brush.

[0133] In some optional embodiments, the base station is further provided with at least one fan and an air duct corresponding to the fan, the heating element is provided in the air duct, and the air blown by the fan passes through the corresponding air duct to transport the heat generated by the heating element to the accommodation space;

[0134] After step 506, the method further includes:

[0135] The control base station turns on the fan and heater to dry the roller brush.

[0136] After determining that the cleaning task of the roller brush is completed, the control terminal can, for example, generate a heating instruction and send it to the base station to control the base station to turn on the heating element, and at the same time generate a blowing instruction and send it to the base station to control the base station to turn on the fan. At this time, the fan can transfer the heat generated by the heating element to the roller brush, which can effectively increase the heat transferred to the roller brush and reduce heat loss. The hot air continues to flow, quickly taking away the moisture and humidity on the roller brush, accelerating the drying process, thereby effectively improving the drying effect of the heating element on the roller brush.

[0137] In the above roller brush cleaning method, hot air can quickly evaporate the residual moisture on the roller brush and shorten the drying time; the hot air is evenly delivered to various parts of the roller brush through the air duct, which can avoid the problem of local moisture or uneven drying, ensure that the roller brush is dry as a whole, thereby preventing bacterial growth and odor formation, and extending the service life of the roller brush.

[0138] In some optional embodiments, after controlling the base station to turn on the fan and the heater to dry the roller brush, the method further includes:

[0139] The base station is controlled to turn off the heating element, so that the blower delivers the blown air into the accommodation space through the corresponding air duct to cool the roller brush.

[0140] After drying the roller brush, the control terminal generates a stop-heating command and sends it to the base station, which instructs the base station to shut down the heating element, thereby stopping heat generation and preventing overheating that could damage the equipment and roller brush in the storage space. Meanwhile, the fan in the base station continues to operate, generating cool air that is delivered through the air duct to the storage space where the roller brush is located. This cool air gradually removes excess heat from the roller brush surface, helping to gradually cool the roller brush to a safe temperature. This ensures that the roller brush is fully dried without overheating, which could cause deformation or shorten its service life.

[0141] The cooling process of this embodiment can be performed only after the bristle brush is dried. The reason is as follows: since the surface of a common velvet brush is covered with velvet, the heat generated by the heating element is mainly concentrated on the fiber surface of the velvet, and since the velvet is fluffy and has large gaps, the heat can be quickly dissipated through natural convection and radiation. Therefore, the velvet brush does not need additional heat dissipation after drying; while the velvet covering area on the velvet brush is small, the heat generated by the heating element during drying is easily accumulated near the motor axis, causing the local temperature of the roller brush to be too high. If no additional heat dissipation is performed, it will cause the material of the roller brush to age or the motor load of the cleaning equipment to increase. Therefore, in this embodiment, a fan is used to cool the roller brush.

[0142] The above-mentioned roller brush cleaning method can cool down the roller brush after completing the drying task of the roller brush, thereby avoiding deformation, cracks or other thermal damage to the roller brush caused by high temperature, thereby extending the life of the roller brush; by timely cooling the roller brush, it can avoid safety hazards caused by excessively high roller brush temperature and ensure the safety of users.

[0143] It should be understood that, although the steps in the flowcharts of the above embodiments are shown in sequence as indicated by the arrows, these steps are not necessarily performed in the order indicated by the arrows. Unless otherwise specified herein, there is no strict order restriction on the execution of these steps, and these steps can be performed in other orders. Moreover, at least a portion of the steps in the flowcharts of the above embodiments may include multiple steps or multiple stages, and these steps or stages are not necessarily performed at the same time, but can be performed at different times. The execution order of these steps or stages is not necessarily to be performed in sequence, but can be performed in turn or alternately with other steps or at least a portion of steps or stages in other steps.
