[0078] In specific implementations, the cleaning equipment described in the embodiments of this application includes, but is not limited to, floor scrubbers, mops, etc., which have touch-sensitive surfaces (e.g., touch screen displays and / or touch panels).

[0079] Various applications that can run on a cleaning device can use at least one common physical user interface device, such as a touch-sensitive surface. One or more functions of the touch-sensitive surface and the corresponding information displayed on the cleaning device can be adjusted and / or changed between and / or within applications. In this way, the common physical architecture of the cleaning device (e.g., the touch-sensitive surface) can support various applications with user interfaces that are intuitive and transparent to the user.

[0080] It should be understood that the sequence number of each step in this embodiment does not imply the order of execution. The execution order of each process should be determined by its function and internal logic, and should not constitute any limitation on the implementation process of this application embodiment.

[0081] Cleaning equipment includes, for example, floor scrubbers and mops. In this embodiment, the cleaning equipment may have autonomous cleaning capabilities, enabling it to move automatically within the room to clean the room's surfaces. Therefore, the cleaning equipment can be automatic cleaning equipment, also known as an automatic cleaning robot; or it may be semi-automatic cleaning equipment, allowing for automatic cleaning of room surfaces by hand.

[0082] The cleaning equipment is specifically a wet surface cleaning device, suitable for deep cleaning of hard floor surfaces such as tile and hardwood.

[0083] Wet surface cleaning equipment comprises a fluid delivery system and a fluid recovery system. The former delivers the cleaning fluid to the surface to be cleaned, while the latter removes waste liquid and debris from the surface. The fluid delivery system typically includes one or more fluid supply tanks for storing the cleaning fluid, a fluid distributor for applying the cleaning fluid to the surface, and fluid supply lines for transferring the cleaning fluid from the supply tanks to the distributors. Wet surface cleaning equipment also includes cleaning components that agitate the cleaning fluid on the surface through rotation, brushing, or other methods to soften and dissolve dirt adhering to the surface.

[0084] A fluid recovery system typically includes a recovery tank, a nozzle adjacent to the surface to be cleaned and fluidly connected to the recovery tank via a working air line, and a suction assembly fluidly connected to the working air line, used to suck up the cleaned dirt from the surface to be cleaned and suck it into the recovery tank through the nozzle and the working air line.

[0085] Cleaning fluids include cleaning foam and clean water. Fluid supply tanks include, for example, cleaning liquid tanks and clean water tanks. Recovery tanks include, for example, dirty water tanks. The suction assembly can perform vacuum suction driven by a motor or other suction methods to recover dirt from the surface to be cleaned.

[0086] In this embodiment of the application, the cleaning equipment includes: a foam pump for providing cleaning foam to the surface to be cleaned, and a water pump for providing clean water to the surface to be cleaned.

[0087] The foam pump and the clean water pump can be connected to their respective fluid supply tanks. The foam pump is connected to the cleaning liquid tank, which stores the cleaning liquid. The foam pump, or a combination of the foam pump and other foaming components, aerates the cleaning liquid and then pumps the foam onto the surface to be cleaned. The clean water pump is connected to the clean water tank, which stores clean water.

[0088] The cleaning equipment also includes cleaning components for cleaning the surfaces to be cleaned.

[0089] The cleaning component may be, for example, a roller brush or a scrubbing cloth. The nozzle may spray foam at an angle forward or spray foam directly onto the cleaning component, which then cleans based on the sprayed foam as the cleaning equipment moves forward.

[0090] The cleaning equipment also includes a suction unit for recovering dirt from the surface to be cleaned.

[0091] The suction assembly is connected to the sewage tank.

[0092] The wastewater tank recycles a mixture of dirty and filthy liquids. When the internal liquid / foam reaches a critical capacity, it will trigger an alarm indicating that the water tank is full or the wastewater tank is full.

[0093] In some situations, such as when the sprayed foam is formed from a solution based on a high-foaming formula, or when an excessive amount of foam is sprayed, the squeegee collects the foam and wastewater from the ground and pumps it into the wastewater tank through a suction pipe. Because foam is lightweight and highly fluid, it flows into the wastewater tank as a "foam stream." Once inside the tank, the foam physically occupies space and interferes with the water level sensor. If the foam collected in the tank is not defoamed in time, it can cause the sensor to detect an incorrect water level, leading to a false alarm that the tank is full and causing a misjudgment.

[0094] In some defoaming methods, foam can be centrifuged away by a blower after entering the sewage tank to avoid false detections and alarms by the sensor, but this increases the cost of the device and the defoaming effect is not good.

[0095] Based on the component configuration of the above-mentioned cleaning equipment, this application proposes a new defoaming method. After the foam pump stops spraying foam, at a set interval, based on the amount of foam pumped by the foam pump during the process from start to stop, the foam is defoamed by means of increasing the clean water pumping flow rate, increasing the rotation speed of the cleaning components, and increasing the power of the suction components. This avoids misjudging the water volume caused by the foam recovered to the sewage tank not being defoamed in time.

[0096] To illustrate the technical solution described in this application, specific embodiments are provided below.

[0097] See Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flowchart of a control method for a cleaning device provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 1 .like Figure 1 As shown, a method for controlling a cleaning device includes the following steps:

[0098] Step 101: Start the foam pump to pump cleaning foam and control the cleaning components to operate at the first rotation speed.

[0099] The first rotation speed can be the normal rotation speed required for cleaning in cleaning mode (it can be a predetermined default rotation speed). The cleaning component agitates the cleaning foam on the surface to be cleaned at the first rotation speed, which can improve the bonding between the cleaning foam and the dirt and remove the dirt adhering to the surface to be cleaned, making it easier to suck up and recover the dirt after cleaning.

[0100] The first speed is, for example, 600 rpm, 700 rpm, etc.

[0101] Step 102: After the foam pump has been running for a first period of time, turn off the foam pump.

[0102] Optionally, during the first duration, the foam pump continuously sprays foam, and the cleaning components continuously operate at the first rotation speed to perform surface cleaning in conjunction with the cleaning foam pumped by the foam pump.

[0103] Optionally, the first duration can be a set duration or the duration of the user's touch on the foam trigger component.

[0104] Foam triggering components include, for example, buttons or triggers. When the foam triggering component is activated, the foam pump pumps cleaning foam, and the foam pump continues to pump cleaning foam for the same duration the foam triggering component is continuously activated. When the foam triggering component is no longer activated, the foam pump is shut off accordingly.

[0105] The duration of this first duration is, for example, 1 second, 2 seconds, etc.

[0106] When the first duration is reached, the foam pump is turned off, and foam spraying stops. Optionally, after the foam pump is turned off, the cleaning unit continues to operate at the first rotation speed, continuously using the sprayed cleaning foam to perform surface cleaning, ensuring full utilization of the foam and ensuring cleaning effectiveness.

[0107] Optionally, the cleaning assembly continues to operate at the first rotational speed for at least a second period of time after the foam pump is turned off. This second period of time allows the cleaning assembly to continue cleaning the surface based on the sprayed foam, ensuring both cleaning duration and effectiveness.

[0108] Step 103: After the foam pump has been shut off for at least a second period of time, the cleaning assembly is adjusted to operate at a second rotation speed based on the amount of cleaning foam pumped by the foam pump.

[0109] The second rotational speed is greater than the first rotational speed.

[0110] The increased second rotation speed of the cleaning component is used to break up and eliminate residual foam through the high-speed rotation of the cleaning component, thereby achieving defoaming.

[0111] The magnitude of the increased second rotation speed is positively correlated with the amount of cleaning foam pumped by the foam pump.

[0112] When the cleaning component operates at a second speed based on the amount of cleaning foam pumped by the foam pump, the speed of the cleaning component can be adaptively increased according to the amount of cleaning foam.

[0113] Optionally, a second rotational speed matching the amount of cleaning foam can be determined based on a pre-established mapping relationship between the amount of cleaning foam and the rotational speed of the cleaning components. Alternatively, a pre-adjusted fixed rotational speed can be set, and when it is determined that the amount of cleaning foam pumped by the foam pump exceeds the set amount, this fixed rotational speed can be directly used as the second rotational speed.

[0114] The second duration is, for example, 1 second, 2 seconds, etc. The second speed is, for example, 900 rpm, 1000 rpm, etc.

[0115] This process allows at least a second set of time after the foam pump is turned off for the cleaning components to clean. After at least the second set of time, the dirt generated during cleaning is considered ready for recycling. To ensure the defoaming of residual foam during dirt recycling, the rotation speed of the cleaning components is increased based on the amount of cleaning foam pumped by the foam pump. This allows the cleaning components to defoam through high-speed rotation, ensuring both effective foam cleaning and timely defoaming of the foam recycled to the wastewater tank. This avoids misjudging the water volume in the wastewater tank and prevents false alarms. It effectively adapts to various foam densities for surface cleaning without increasing the cost of the components.

[0116] See Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a flowchart of a control method for a cleaning device provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 .like Figure 2 As shown, a method for controlling a cleaning device includes the following steps:

[0117] Step 201: Start the foam pump to pump cleaning foam.

[0118] Step 202: After the foam pump has been running for a first period of time, turn off the foam pump.

[0119] Optionally, during this first duration, the foam pump continuously sprays foam.

[0120] Optionally, the first duration can be a set duration or the duration of the user's touch on the foam trigger component.

[0121] Foam triggering components include, for example, buttons or triggers. When the foam triggering component is activated, the foam pump pumps cleaning foam, and the foam pump continues to pump cleaning foam for the same duration the foam triggering component is continuously activated. When the foam triggering component is no longer activated, the foam pump is shut off accordingly.

[0122] The duration of this first duration is, for example, 1 second, 2 seconds, etc.

[0123] When the first duration is reached, turn off the foam pump and stop spraying foam.

[0124] Step 203: After the foam pump has been shut off for at least a second period of time, the suction assembly is increased to operate at the target power based on the amount of cleaning foam pumped by the foam pump.

[0125] After the foam pump is turned off, allow at least a second period of time to ensure the sprayed cleaning foam continues to clean the surface, guaranteeing cleaning duration and effectiveness. After cleaning the surface with the foam, the suction unit collects the dirt from the surface.

[0126] The increased target power of the suction component is used to break down and eliminate residual foam through the high-speed suction airflow of the suction component, thereby achieving defoaming.

[0127] The magnitude of the increased target power is positively correlated with the amount of cleaning foam pumped by the foam pump.

[0128] When adjusting the suction component to operate at the target power based on the amount of cleaning foam pumped by the foam pump, the power of the suction component can be adaptively increased according to the amount of cleaning foam.

[0129] Optionally, a power value matching the cleaning foam volume can be determined as the increased target power based on a pre-established mapping relationship between the cleaning foam volume and the power of the suction component. Alternatively, a pre-adjusted fixed power can be set, and when it is determined that the cleaning foam volume pumped by the foam pump exceeds the set amount, this fixed power can be directly used as the increased target power.

[0130] The second duration is, for example, 1 second, 2 seconds, etc. The target power is, for example, 500W, 600W, etc.

[0131] In cleaning mode, the suction unit has the normal power (which can be a predetermined default power) required to remove dirt from the surface to be cleaned. This normal power is, for example, 350W, 400W, etc.

[0132] The target power can be the power increased from the normal power.

[0133] This process allows for at least a second period of time after the foam pump is shut down, during which time the generated dirt is considered ready for recycling. To ensure defoaming of residual foam during dirt recycling, the power of the suction component is increased based on the amount of cleaning foam pumped by the foam pump. This generates a high-speed suction airflow to defoam, ensuring both effective foam cleaning and timely defoaming of the foam returned to the wastewater tank. This avoids misjudging the water volume in the wastewater tank and prevents false alarms. The process effectively adapts to various foam densities for surface cleaning without increasing device costs.

[0134] See Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a flowchart of a control method for a cleaning device provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 3 .like Figure 3 As shown, a method for controlling a cleaning device includes the following steps:

[0135] Step 301: Start the foam pump to pump cleaning foam and start the clean water pump to pump clean water.

[0136] The clean water pump can be started together with the foam pump, or the clean water pump can be started after the foam pump.

[0137] During this process, the clean water pump delivers clean water at a first flow rate. This first flow rate is less than the subsequent target flow rate. When the clean water pump delivers clean water at the first flow rate, the clean water acts as a cleaning agent, working together with the cleaning foam to clean the surface to be cleaned. While the foam pump is delivering the cleaning foam, the clean water pump simultaneously mixes with the cleaning foam, which improves the adhesion between the cleaning foam and the dirt and facilitates the extraction and recovery of dirt after cleaning, thus enhancing the cleaning effect.

[0138] Optionally, the first flow rate can be the normal flow rate required for cleaning in cleaning mode (which can be a predetermined default flow rate) to ensure the foam cleaning effect in cleaning mode.

[0139] Alternatively, in some cases, to improve the foam cleaning effect while avoiding defoaming caused by the pumped water, the initial flow rate of the water pump pumping clean water during the process of the foam pump pumping cleaning foam can be a reduced flow rate value.

[0140] Optionally, the first flow rate may be, for example, the minimum flow rate of the clean water pump, that is, while the foam pump is pumping cleaning foam, the clean water pump is reduced to pump clean water at the minimum flow rate.

[0141] Alternatively, the first flow rate can be a reduced flow rate based on the default flow rate in the aforementioned cleaning mode or the maximum flow rate of the clean water pump. This reduction can be done by a set percentage, such as reducing it to half or two-thirds of the maximum or default flow rate. This can be set and adjusted according to actual needs.

[0142] The reduced flow rate is less than the target flow rate in subsequent processes.

[0143] The above treatment can effectively avoid excessive water during the process of the foam pump delivering cleaning foam (within the first time period mentioned above) and during the process of the cleaning equipment using the sprayed cleaning foam to clean the surface to be cleaned (within the second time period thereafter), ensuring the cleaning effect after the water and cleaning foam are mixed, and avoiding defoaming caused by excessive water.

[0144] Step 302: After the foam pump has been running for a first period of time, turn off the foam pump. After the foam pump has been turned off for a second period of time, increase the water pump to operate at the target flow rate based on the amount of cleaning foam pumped by the foam pump.

[0145] Optionally, during this first duration, the foam pump continuously sprays foam.

[0146] Optionally, the first duration can be a set duration or the duration of the user's touch on the foam trigger component.

[0147] Foam triggering components include, for example, buttons or triggers. When the foam triggering component is activated, the foam pump pumps cleaning foam, and the foam pump continues to pump cleaning foam for the same duration the foam triggering component is continuously activated. When the foam triggering component is no longer activated, the foam pump is shut off accordingly.

[0148] The first duration is, for example, 1 second, 2 seconds, etc. The second duration is, for example, 1 second, 2 seconds, etc.

[0149] When the first duration is reached, turn off the foam pump and stop spraying foam.

[0150] After the foam pump is turned off, allow a second period of time to allow the sprayed cleaning foam to continue cleaning the surface, ensuring cleaning duration and effectiveness.

[0151] The water pump delivers clean water at the increased target flow rate, forming a large flow of clean water that acts as a defoamer to defoam the cleaning foam.

[0152] Optionally, the increased flow rate of the clean water pump is positively correlated with the amount of cleaning foam pumped by the foam pump.

[0153] When adjusting the water pump to operate at the target flow rate based on the amount of cleaning foam pumped by the foam pump, the flow rate of the water pump can be adaptively increased according to the amount of cleaning foam.

[0154] Optionally, a flow rate value matching the cleaning foam volume can be determined as the increased target flow rate based on a pre-established mapping relationship between the cleaning foam volume and the water pump flow rate. Alternatively, a pre-adjusted fixed flow rate can be set, and when it is determined that the cleaning foam volume pumped by the foam pump exceeds the set amount, this fixed flow rate can be directly used as the increased target flow rate.

[0155] This process allows for at least a second set of time after the foam pump is shut down, during which foam cleaning is performed. To ensure the defoaming of residual foam during dirt recovery, after the second set of time, the power of the suction component is increased based on the amount of cleaning foam pumped by the foam pump. This causes the foam pump to generate a large flow of clean water to defoam, ensuring both the cleaning effect of the foam and the timely defoaming of the foam returned to the wastewater tank. This avoids misjudging the water volume in the wastewater tank and prevents false alarms. The process effectively adapts to foams of various densities for surface cleaning without increasing the cost of the components.

[0156] In some implementation processes, the amount of cleaning foam can be obtained by recording the start and stop times of the foam pump, and determining the amount of cleaning foam during the period from the start to the stop time based on the pumping flow rate of the foam pump per unit time.

[0157] Alternatively, in some embodiments, the cleaning device further includes a foam triggering component, in which case the amount of cleaning foam can be obtained as follows:

[0158] If the foam triggering component is detected to be activated, the duration of the activation is obtained; based on the duration of the activation, the amount of cleaning foam pumped by the foam pump is determined.

[0159] The foam triggering component can be a button, trigger, or similar device. For example, when a button is pressed or a trigger is engaged, the foam triggering component is considered to be activated. The duration of the button press or the duration of the trigger engagement is timed to obtain the duration of the activation after the foam triggering component is activated.

[0160] When the foam trigger component is activated, the foam pump pumps cleaning foam. The foam pump pumps cleaning foam for the same duration as the foam trigger component is activated.

[0161] Once the duration of the foam trigger component's activation is obtained, the amount of cleaning foam pumped by the foam pump during that duration can be determined.

[0162] This method combines the acquisition of the output foam volume with the user's operation process in the cleaning equipment, which can conveniently and efficiently obtain the foam usage based on defoaming control, reduce unnecessary component overhead, reduce structural complexity, and reduce device costs.

[0163] Alternatively, in some embodiments, the cleaning device further includes a flow meter, in which case the amount of cleaning foam can be obtained as follows:

[0164] The amount of cleaning foam pumped by the foam pump is obtained by detecting the flow rate.

[0165] A flow meter can be installed at the output port of the foam pump or on the foam output pipeline to count the amount of foam output.

[0166] This method directly uses a flow meter to effectively obtain the amount of foam used for defoaming control, reducing data calculation and processing and improving efficiency.

[0167] In an optional implementation, step 302, based on the amount of cleaning foam pumped by the foam pump, increases the water pump to operate at the target flow rate, including:

[0168] Based on the amount of cleaning foam pumped by the foam pump, determine the target flow rate to be increased and the duration of the target flow rate for the clean water pump; increase the clean water pump to operate at the target flow rate for that duration.

[0169] To avoid the water pump pumping too much water in a short period of time, which would affect the recycling and treatment of contaminated water and the user experience, when adjusting the water pump to operate at the target flow rate, the target flow rate to be adjusted to be combined with the duration of operation at the target flow rate. This allows for an appropriate increase in the water pumping flow rate and a suitable duration of operation.

[0170] Specifically, the total amount of clean water pumped at the increased target flow rate during this duration is positively correlated with the amount of cleaning foam pumped by the foam pump. With the increased target flow rate unchanged, the duration the clean water pump operates at the target flow rate is positively correlated with the amount of cleaning foam pumped by the foam pump; and with this duration unchanged, the increased target flow rate of the clean water pump is positively correlated with the amount of cleaning foam pumped by the foam pump.

[0171] Optionally, the duration can be, for example, 4 seconds, 5 seconds, etc.

[0172] This process effectively avoids the water pump pumping too much water in a short time, which would affect the recycling and treatment of dirt and affect the user experience, thus improving the cleaning effect and user experience.

[0173] In an optional implementation, step 302, based on the amount of cleaning foam pumped by the foam pump, increases the water pump to operate at the target flow rate, including:

[0174] Based on the amount of cleaning foam pumped by the foam pump, and according to the defoaming ratio of cleaning foam to clean water, determine the target flow rate to be adjusted to and the duration of the target flow rate for the clean water pump; increase the duration of the clean water pump operating at the target flow rate.

[0175] The defoaming ratio of cleaning foam to water is set, for example, 2:3, meaning 3 parts water can defoam 2 parts cleaning foam. Other selectable defoaming ratios are also possible. This effectively determines how much water is needed to defoam the cleaning foam pumped by the foam pump within a set duration.

[0176] This process introduces a defoaming ratio between cleaning foam and clean water, adjusts the flow rate of the clean water pump to an appropriate level, and continues to pump clean water at the increased flow rate for an appropriate duration. This avoids the clean water pump pumping too much clean water in a short period of time, which would affect the recycling and treatment of dirt and affect the user experience, thereby improving control precision, cleaning effect, and user experience.

[0177] In some implementations, the means of increasing the water pumping flow rate of the water pump, increasing the rotation speed of the cleaning components, and increasing the power of the suction components can be combined.

[0178] Optionally, the control method further includes:

[0179] When the foam pump is started to pump cleaning foam in step 301, the cleaning components are controlled to operate at a first rotation speed.

[0180] The process of controlling the cleaning component to operate at the first rotation speed is the same as the process of step 101, and will not be repeated here.

[0181] Based on step 302, after the foam pump has been shut off for at least a second period of time, the cleaning components are adjusted to operate at a second rotation speed based on the amount of cleaning foam pumped by the foam pump.

[0182] Based on the amount of cleaning foam pumped by the foam pump, the timing of increasing the rotation speed of the cleaning component can be either at the second time elapsed after the foam pump is turned off, or later than the second time elapsed after the foam pump is turned off.

[0183] In other words, increasing the flow rate of the water pump can be done simultaneously with increasing the speed of the cleaning components, or the latter can be done later than the former, to ensure that after the surface to be cleaned is thoroughly cleaned with foam, the high-speed rotation of the cleaning components can further defoam.

[0184] The process of increasing the rotation speed of the cleaning component is the same as that of step 103, and will not be repeated here.

[0185] This process combines increasing the flow rate of the clean water pump with increasing the rotation speed of the cleaning components to further improve the foam defoaming effect and prevent misjudgment of water volume caused by foam not being defoamed in time when it is returned to the sewage tank.

[0186] Optionally, the control method further includes:

[0187] Based on step 302, after the foam pump has been shut off for at least a second period of time, the suction assembly is increased to operate at the target power based on the amount of cleaning foam pumped by the foam pump.

[0188] Based on the amount of cleaning foam pumped by the foam pump, the timing of increasing the power of the suction component can be either at the second time elapsed after the foam pump is turned off, or later than the second time elapsed after the foam pump is turned off.

[0189] In other words, increasing the flow rate of the clean water pump can be done simultaneously with increasing the power of the suction component, or the latter can be done later than the former, to ensure that after the surface to be cleaned is thoroughly cleaned with foam, the dirt is quickly recovered by high-speed suction airflow while further defoaming is achieved.

[0190] The process of increasing the power of the suction component is the same as that of step 203, and will not be repeated here.

[0191] This process combines increasing the flow rate of the clean water pump with increasing the power of the suction components to further improve the foam defoaming effect and prevent misjudgment of water volume caused by foam not being defoamed in time when it is returned to the sewage tank.
