Detailed Implementation
[0032] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention more apparent, exemplary embodiments according to the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are merely a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments of the present invention. It should be understood that the present invention is not limited to the exemplary embodiments described herein. Based on the embodiments of the present invention described herein, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without inventive effort should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0033] Cleaning systems typically consist of a base station and cleaning equipment, such as handheld vacuum cleaners, handheld floor scrubbers, and cleaning robots. The base station is used for cleaning, charging, and other maintenance of the cleaning equipment. Each cleaning device contains a built-in fan, a dust cup, and a filter within the dust cup. When a user uses the cleaning device to clean an object, the fan uses negative pressure to draw debris from the surface into the dust cup. The filter separates fine dust from larger particles or other solid waste, preventing fine dust from entering the fan and affecting its lifespan. After use, the user can place the cleaning device on the base station, which then removes the debris and dirt from the dust cup, cleaning it without requiring manual cleaning by the user. This prevents the dust cup from becoming clogged and affecting subsequent uses, and also charges the cleaning device. However, existing base stations typically only empty the dust cup, failing to remove debris adhering to the filter. If the filter is not cleaned regularly, it can become clogged, affecting the cleaning device's performance and resulting in poor cleaning effectiveness and a negative user experience.
[0034] Based on this, the present disclosure provides a base station control method, a base station, a cleaning system, and a computer-readable storage medium. When the cleaning equipment is placed in the base station for maintenance, the base station can remove the garbage and dirt stored in the dust cup of the cleaning equipment, and can also clean the filter screen of the dust cup to achieve automatic dust scraping. In this way, the cleaning effect of the cleaning equipment is better, which can effectively ensure the working performance of the cleaning equipment and improve the user experience.
[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, the base station 10 provided in this embodiment is at least used for maintaining the cleaning equipment 20. The maintenance types include, but are not limited to, dust collection, charging, cleaning of cleaning components, wastewater discharge, and water replenishment. The cleaning equipment 20 can be a handheld vacuum cleaner, a handheld floor scrubber, a cleaning robot, or other similar devices. The following description uses a handheld vacuum cleaner as an example.
[0036] Please refer to the following: Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 11Specifically, the base station 10 includes a base station body 100, a dust collection port 101, a control device 200, a drive device 300, a dust extraction device 400, and a dust collection container 500. The dust collection port 101 is located on the base station body 100. The control device 200, drive device 300, dust extraction device 400, and dust collection container 500 are all located within the base station body 100. The drive device 300 and dust extraction device 400 are electrically connected to the control device 200. The dust extraction device 400 is connected to the dust collection container 500.
[0037] For example, the dust collection port 101 is located near the top of the base station body 100 and is open to provide a docking position for the cleaning equipment 20. Please refer to [further details omitted]. Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 The cleaning device 20 includes a main body 600, a dust cup assembly 700, and a scraping assembly 800. The dust cup assembly 700 is located within the main body 600, and the scraping assembly 800 is located within the dust cup assembly 700. The dust cup assembly 700 includes a dust cup 701 and a filter 702, with the filter 702 located within the dust cup 701. The scraping assembly 800 includes a scraping component 801 and an actuating component 802. The scraping component 801 is fitted around the outer periphery of the filter 702, and the actuating component 802 is connected to the scraping component 801.
[0038] When the cleaning device 20 is connected to the base station 10, the dust cup 701 is connected to the dust collection port 101 and communicates with the dust collection container 500 through the dust collection port 101. The actuating member 802 is connected to the driving device 300. In this state, the control device 200 can control the dust extraction device 400 to operate for a first duration so that at least part of the debris in the dust cup 701 is sucked into the dust collection container 500. In addition, the control device 200 can also control the driving device 300 to operate for a second duration so that the driving device 300 drives the actuating member 802 to move, thereby driving the scraping member 801 to perform reciprocating motion to scrape off at least part of the debris on the filter screen 702.
[0039] Figure 4The X direction shown is the direction of the central axis of the dust cup 701. In the working scenario of the base station 10, the X direction can be vertical. The reciprocating motion of the scraper 801 includes the scraper 801 moving from a first position to a second position and from the second position to the first position along the central axis of the dust cup 701. For example, the part on the filter screen 702 used for filtering garbage is located between the first position and the second position. Each time the scraper 801 performs a reciprocating motion, it can pass through the main part of the filter screen 702 where garbage is attached twice and perform scraping. That is, the forward movement of the scraper 801 from the first position to the second position can perform one scraping, and then the reverse movement of the scraper 801 from the second position to the first position can perform a second scraping. This not only can the garbage on the filter screen 702 be scraped off more effectively, but also the movement of the scraper 801 can be reset.
[0040] The first working time of the dust extraction device 400 is greater than or equal to the second working time of the drive device 300, ensuring that the dust extraction device 400 continues to work and extract garbage during the reciprocating motion of the scraper 801. This allows the garbage scraped off the filter screen 702 to be effectively extracted into the dust collection container 500, preventing the scraped garbage from re-attaching to the filter screen 702 or into the dust cup 701 due to changes in airflow or failure to be extracted in time, thus reducing garbage residue.
[0041] Understandably, after the cleaning device 20 is connected to the base station 10, the dust cup 701 is connected to the dust collection container 500 through the dust collection port 101, and the actuating component 802 is connected to the driving device 300. During the first working period of the dust extraction device 400 and the second working period of the driving device 300, the debris in the dust cup 701 is sucked into the dust collection container 500, and the debris attached to the filter screen 702 is scraped off by the scraping component 801. This provides a double cleaning of both the dust cup 701 and the filter screen 702, resulting in a more comprehensive cleaning, effectively reducing debris residue on both surfaces, improving the cleaning effect of the cleaning device 20, ensuring the working performance of the cleaning device 20, and ultimately enhancing the user experience.
[0042] In some embodiments, the driving device 300 includes a driving member 301 and a pushing member 302 connected to the driving member 301. The pushing member 302 can move to different position states under the drive of the driving member 301, including a retracted state and an extended state. In the retracted state, the pushing member 302 does not extend beyond the base station body 100; in the extended state, the pushing member 302 extends beyond the base station body 100 and is connected to the toggle member 802. The direction of movement of the pushing member 302 is defined as the pushing direction, which is consistent with the central axis direction of the dust cup 701.
[0043] When the drive unit 300 is working, the drive member 301 drives the push member 302 to move, so that the push member 302 switches between a retracted state and an extended state. When the push member 302 is in the retracted state, the scraper member 801 is in the first position; when the push member 302 is in the extended state, the scraper member 801 is in the second position.
[0044] When the cleaning device 20 is connected to the base station 10, if the pushing member 302 is in the retracted state, it is hidden inside the base station body 100 and does not push the actuating member 802. At this time, the scraping member 801 remains in the first position. When the pushing member 302 moves from the retracted state to the extended state, it extends beyond the base station body 100 and pushes the actuating member 802, causing it to move the scraping member 801 to the second position to perform a first scraping of the filter screen 702. When the pushing member 302 moves from the extended state to the retracted state, it resets the scraping member 801 from the second position to the first position, performing a second scraping of the filter screen 702. Thus, by utilizing the cooperation of the driving member 301, the pushing member 302, and the actuating member 802, the reciprocating scraping action of the scraping member 801 can be achieved.
[0045] For example, the base station body 100 also includes a docking cavity 102, which is adapted to the dust cup 701 and is used for the insertion of the dust cup 701. The docking cavity 102 is located above the dust collection port 101, and forms an opening with the top surface of the base station body 100, which communicates with the dust collection port 101. The dust collection port 101 penetrates the middle of the bottom wall of the docking cavity 102, and a through hole 1021 is provided on the bottom wall of the docking cavity 102 near the opening, which is adapted to the pusher 302. The drive member 301 is disposed within the base station body 100, and the pusher 302 is at least partially disposed within the base station body 100, with the pusher 302 aligned with the through hole 1021 in the pushing direction. The pusher 302 in the retracted state is hidden below the through hole 1021, that is, located inside the base station body 100; the pusher 302 in the ejected state can extend through the through hole 1021, that is, located outside the base station body 100.
[0046] When the cleaning device 20 is docked to the base station 10, the dust cup 701 is inserted into the docking cavity 102 so that at least a portion of the dust cup assembly 700 enters the docking cavity 102, and the actuating member 802 is aligned with the through hole 1021 in the pushing direction. At this time, the driving member 301 can drive the pushing member 302 to switch between a retracted state and an ejected state, and drive the scraping member 801 to perform a reciprocating scraping action.
[0047] Please refer to the following: Figure 8In some embodiments, the driving device 300 further includes a second transmission mechanism 303, through which the pushing member 302 and the driving member 301 are connected to each other, so that the driving member 301 drives the pushing member 302 to move. For example, the driving member 301 is a drive motor. The second transmission mechanism 303 includes a second rotating member 3031 and a second moving member 3032, which are connected to each other. The second rotating member 3031 is connected to the drive motor and rotates under the drive of the drive motor. The second moving member 3032 is connected to the pushing member 302 and drives the pushing member 302 to move in the pushing direction.
[0048] When scraping dust off the filter screen 702, the drive motor drives the second rotating member 3031 to rotate. The second rotating member 3031 converts the rotational motion into a forward linear motion of the second moving member 3032 along the pushing direction, causing the pushing member 302 to move from the retracted state to the ejected state, and pushing the actuating member 802 from the first position to the second position. Subsequently, the drive motor can drive the second rotating member 3031 to rotate in the opposite direction. The second rotating member 3031 converts the rotational motion into a reverse linear motion of the second moving member 3032 along the pushing direction, causing the pushing member 302 to move from the ejected state to the retracted state, allowing the actuating member 802 to reset from the first position to the second position.
[0049] For example, the second transmission mechanism 303 can be a lead screw transmission mechanism, that is, the second rotating member 3031 is a lead screw, the second moving member 3032 is a slider, and the lead screw and slider are threadedly connected. The threaded connection between the slider and the lead screw allows for a change in the motion pattern, converting the rotational motion of the drive motor into linear motion of the slider along the length of the lead screw. This enables the drive motor to drive the scraping assembly 800 to complete the automatic scraping cleaning operation via the second transmission mechanism 303. The lead screw and slider have a simple structure, reliable operation, and ensure safety during the automatic scraping cleaning operation of the cleaning system 30. Furthermore, they are easy to manufacture, which helps reduce production costs.
[0050] Of course, the structure of the second rotating member 3031 and the second moving member 3032 is not limited to lead screw and slider. For example, the second rotating member 3031 and the second moving member 3032 can also form a gear and rack mechanism, etc. Any structural form that can convert rotational motion into moving motion is within the protection scope of this disclosure.
[0051] See Figure 9 and Figure 12In some embodiments, the base station 10 further includes a cover opening device 103, which is disposed within the base station body 100 and used to open the cup cover 704 of the dust cup 701. Exemplarily, the cover opening device 103 is disposed on the docking cavity 102 near the top of the base station body 100, so as to abut against the bottom of the cup cover 704 when the dust cup 701 is inserted into the docking cavity 102. Exemplarily, the cup cover 704 is a hinged cover structure, rotatably disposed on the bottom of the dust cup 701 via a hinge shaft 709, and the cover opening device 103 is a top block 1031 protruding from the cavity wall of the docking cavity 102. As the dust cup 701 is inserted into the docking cavity 102 from top to bottom, the top block 1031 holds the cup cover 704 near the hinge shaft 709. Under the action of the top block 1031, the cup cover 704 rotates around the hinge shaft 709. As the dust cup 701 continues to enter the docking cavity 102, the cup cover 704 opens around the hinge shaft 709. Thus, when the dust cup 701 is in place, the cup cover 704 can automatically open, allowing the debris in the dust cup 701 to fall into the dust collection cavity 107. Before the dust collection operation is activated, at least some of the debris in the dust cup 701 can fall down under the action of gravity, thereby saving some of the power of the base station 10 and improving cleaning efficiency.
[0052] Please refer to the following: Figure 9 and Figure 10 In some embodiments, the base station 10 further includes an indicator light assembly 104, which is electrically connected to the control device 200 and is disposed on the surface of the base station body 100. The indicator light assembly 104 has multiple light emission modes, including but not limited to at least one or more combinations of multiple colors and multiple light emission states. Different light emission modes of the indicator light assembly 104 can characterize different operating states of the base station 10, allowing users to intuitively understand the current operating status of the base station 10.
[0053] For example, the indicator light assembly 104 may be composed of multiple LEDs arranged at intervals. The multiple LEDs are disposed on the top surface of the base station body 100 and are distributed in a ring along the contour of the cavity opening of the docking cavity 102. When the cleaning device 20 is docked to the base station 10, the indicator light assembly 104 may be distributed around the periphery of the dust cup 701, which helps the user to observe both the indicator light assembly 104 and the dust cup 701 at the same time. The position is more conspicuous, improving the user experience.
[0054] See Figure 9 In some embodiments, the base station 10 further includes a first battery 900A electrically connected to the control device 200, the first battery 900A being disposed within the base station body 100. The first battery 900A is detachable from the base station body 100 and can be used as a backup battery for the cleaning device 20. See also Figure 5The existing battery device on the cleaning device 20 is defined as the second battery 900B. If the second battery 900B is low on power, the user can remove it from the cleaning device 20 and install the first battery 900A in its place to maintain the normal operation of the cleaning device 20. Furthermore, the second battery 900B removed from the cleaning device 20 can be placed on the base station body 100 for charging and used as a backup battery device. For example, the base station 10 can be connected to mains power via a power plug to obtain power from the mains and charge the first battery 900A.
[0055] It is understood that the first battery 900A and the second battery 900B in this disclosure can use the same battery device. The difference is that the first battery 900A is a battery device that is separately charged in the base station body 100 from the cleaning device 20; the second battery 900B is a battery device that is installed in the cleaning device 20. The two can actually be replaced by each other.
[0056] For example, the base station body 100 is provided with a charging compartment 105 for housing a first battery 900A. The charging compartment 105 is arranged side by side with the dust collection port 101. The charging compartment 105 forms an opening on the top surface of the base station body 100 to facilitate the placement and removal of the first battery 900A. A first power terminal is provided on the inner side of the charging compartment 105, and the first power terminal is electrically connected to the control device 200. The first battery 900A is provided with a second power terminal. When the first battery 900A is housed in the charging compartment 105, the second power terminal of the first battery 900A contacts the second power terminal inside the charging compartment 105, establishing a current loop between the first battery 900A and the base station 10, allowing the base station 10 to charge the first battery 900A.
[0057] The base station body 100 is provided with a battery cover 1051, which covers the opening of the charging compartment 105. The battery cover 1051 can be designed as a hinged flip cover, a sliding cover, or a detachable cover. The battery cover 1051 has a closed state and an open state. When the battery cover 1051 is closed, it seals the charging port of the charging compartment 105, preventing dust and moisture from entering the charging compartment 105 and interfering with the first battery 900A or the first power terminal. When the battery cover 1051 is open, the opening of the charging compartment 105 is exposed to the base station body 100, allowing direct insertion and removal of the first battery 900A.
[0058] In some embodiments, the first battery 900A further includes a battery indicator light 901, which is disposed on the first battery 900A and electrically connected to the control device 200. The battery indicator light 901 has multiple illumination modes, including but not limited to at least one or more combinations of multiple colors and multiple illumination states. Different illumination modes of the battery indicator light 901 can characterize different charging states of the first battery 900A, allowing the user to intuitively understand the current charging status of the first battery 900A. For example, the battery indicator light 901 is disposed at the upper end of the first battery 900A, located on the periphery of the first battery 900A. The battery indicator light 901 can indicate the charging state of the first battery 900A. For instance, when the first battery 900A is housed in the charging compartment 105, the lower end of the first battery 900A establishes a current loop with the first power terminal through the second power terminal, and the upper end of the first battery 900A displays the charging state through the illumination of the battery indicator light 901.
[0059] In some embodiments, the base station 10 further includes a button 120, which is electrically connected to the control device 200 and is disposed on the surface of the base station body 100. Exemplarily, the button 120 can be a physical button or a virtual interactive button 120 on a display module, and is disposed on the top surface of the base station body 100. Specifically, the base station 10 is pre-configured with multiple dust collection modes, such as automatic mode and manual mode. Users can set the dust collection mode of the base station 10 by touching the button 120, so that the base station 10 can meet different user needs.
[0060] In some embodiments, the base station 10 further includes a first port component 106, and the cleaning device 20 includes a second port component 601. When the cleaning device 20 is docked to the base station 10, the positions of the first port component 106 and the second port component 601 are opposite each other, and the first port component 106 and the second port component 601 are in contact to establish an electrical connection between the cleaning device 20 and the base station 10, which can enable the base station 10 to charge the cleaning device 20 or enable communication between the base station 10 and the cleaning device 20.
[0061] Specifically, the first port component 106 includes a first communication terminal 1061, which is disposed on the base station body 100 and electrically connected to the control device 200. The second port component 601 includes a second communication terminal 6011, which is disposed on the body body 600 and electrically connected to the control module built into the body body 600. For example, the first communication terminal 1061 is a first terminal contact, disposed on the outer surface of the base station body 100 and located in front of the docking cavity 102. When the cleaning device 20 docks with the base station 10, the positions of the first communication terminal 1061 and the second communication terminal 6011 are opposite each other. The first communication terminal 1061 and the second communication terminal 6011 are connected and a communication link is established. The control device 200 can interact with the cleaning device 20 and control the dust collection mode of the cleaning device 20.
[0062] Specifically, the first port assembly 106 further includes a first charging terminal 1062, which is disposed on the base station body 100 and electrically connected to the control device 200. The second port assembly 601 includes a second charging terminal 6012, which is disposed on the body 600 and electrically connected to the second battery 900B disposed on the body 600. For example, the first charging terminal 1062 includes a first positive contact and a first negative contact, both disposed on the outer surface of the base station body 100 and located in front of the docking cavity 102. For example, the first positive contact, the first negative contact, and the first terminal contact are arranged side-by-side. When the cleaning device 20 docks to the base station 10, the position of the first charging terminal 1062 is opposite to the position of the second charging terminal 6012. The first charging terminal 1062 and the second charging terminal 6012 are connected and a current path is established, allowing the base station 10 to charge the second battery 900B of the cleaning device 20. For example, base station 10 can obtain power from mains power and charge the second battery 900B.
[0063] In some embodiments, the base station body 100 has a dust collection chamber 107 inside, which is connected to the dust collection port 101. The dust collection chamber 107 can be a complete dust collection path, consisting of multiple sequentially connected chambers / compartments. Specifically, the dust collection chamber 107 has a dust collection compartment 110 for installing the dust collection container 500, which is located below and connected to the dust collection port 101.
[0064] The base station 10 also includes a cover 108, which covers the surface of the base station body 100 and has an open and closed state. For example, one side of the base station body 100 is defined as the front side, which is the side facing the user when the base station body 100 is actually in operation. A dust collection chamber 110 forms an opening on the front side of the base station body 100, and a dust collection port 101 is opened on the top surface of the base station body 100 and communicates downwards from the top of the base station body 100 with the dust collection chamber 110. The cover 108 is disposed on the front side of the base station body 100, and a sealing strip is provided between the inner side of the cover 108 and the opening of the dust collection chamber 110. The cover 108 can be designed as a hinged flip cover, a sliding cover, or a detachable cover.
[0065] When the cover 108 is closed, it effectively seals the opening of the dust collection chamber 110 and confines the dust collection container 500 inside the base station body 100, preventing external factors from interfering with internal components such as the dust collection container 500. When the cover 108 is open, the opening of the dust collection chamber 110 is exposed on the front side of the base station body 100, facilitating the removal of the dust collection container 500 from the dust collection chamber 110 or the installation of the dust collection container 500 inside the dust collection chamber 110.
[0066] In some embodiments, the connection between the cover 108 and the base station body 100 is such that one end is non-separable and the other end is separable. For example, the lower end of the cover 108 is designed to be rotatably connected to the base station body 100, while the upper end is designed to be separably connected. Exemplarily, to ensure the reliability of the connection between the upper end of the cover 108 and the base station body 100, the base station 10 also includes a suction cover 130, so that when the cover 108 is closed, the suction cover 130 ensures a relatively tight connection between the base station body 100 and the cover 108, preventing the cover 108 from falling off due to collisions or other reasons. For example, the suction cover 130 is a magnetic element, with components that can be attracted to the magnetic element at positions corresponding to the cover 108 and the suction cover 130, or the cover 108 can be designed as a material that can be attracted to the magnetic element. Alternatively, a suction cover 130 can be provided on the front side of the base station body 100 near both the left and right ends.
[0067] In some embodiments, the base station body 100 is further provided with a storage compartment 109 for storing replaceable accessories 6051 equipped with the cleaning equipment 20. Exemplarily, there are at least two storage compartments 109, each with internal partitions or slots adapted to the shapes and sizes of different accessories 6051, for storing at least two accessories 6051, including but not limited to flat vacuums, mite-removing brushes, etc. The storage compartment 109 is arranged parallel to or adjacent to the dust collection chamber 107, and the storage compartment 109 forms an opening on the front side of the base station body 100. When the cover 108 is closed, the cover 108 closes the opening of the storage compartment 109; when the cover 108 is open, it facilitates the removal of the accessories 6051 from the storage compartment 109, or the installation of the accessories 6051 into the storage compartment 109.
[0068] In some embodiments, the dust collection container 500 is provided with an inlet and an outlet, both of which communicate with the interior of the dust collection container 500. When the dust collection container 500 is installed in the dust collection chamber 110, the inlet communicates with the dust collection port 101, and the outlet communicates with the dust extraction device 400, allowing airflow to flow sequentially from the inside of the dust cup 701 to the inside of the dust collection container 500 and then to the dust extraction device 400, so as to extract the waste in the dust cup 701 into the dust collection container 500. Exemplarily, the dust collection container 500 includes, but is not limited to, dust bags, dust boxes, dust bins, etc.
[0069] The base station body 100 is equipped with a mounting bracket 1101, which is located on top of the dust collection chamber 110. The mounting bracket 1101 is used to install and fix the dust collection container 500. The detachable installation methods between the dust collection container 500 and the dust collection chamber 110 include, but are not limited to, plug-in installation, snap-fit installation, and interference fit installation. Taking plug-in installation as an example, the dust collection container 500 is equipped with a plug-in bracket 501, which has a first connecting port that communicates with the suction inlet. The mounting bracket 1101 has a plug-in slot that matches the plug-in bracket 501. When the dust collection container 500 needs to be installed, the user only needs to align the plug-in bracket 501 of the dust collection container 500 with the mounting bracket 1101 and then perform the plug-in operation. When the dust collection container 500 is installed in place, the suction inlet is connected to the dust collection port 101 through the first connecting port, thus allowing the dust collection container 500 to be quickly and securely installed in the dust collection chamber 110. When the dust collection container 500 is full of garbage, the user can easily pull the dust collection container 500 out of the dust collection chamber 110 to replace or clean the dust collection container 500.
[0070] In some embodiments, the base station 10 further includes a sterilization device 111, which is electrically connected to the control device 200. The sterilization device 111 is disposed within the base station body 100 and located around the dust collection container 500. The sterilization device 111 is used to sterilize the dust collection container 500 after the dust extraction device 400 and the drive device 300 have finished operating, thereby reducing bacterial growth within the dust collection container 500 and maintaining cleanliness and hygiene.
[0071] Specifically, the dust collection container 500 is provided with a sterilization port, which communicates with the interior of the dust collection container 500. When the dust collection container 500 is installed in the dust collection chamber 110, the sterilization device 111 sterilizes the interior of the dust collection container 500 through the sterilization port. In other embodiments, the sterilization port may not be provided, as long as the irradiation range of the sterilization device 111 can cover the dust collection container 500. The sterilization device 111 includes, but is not limited to, a UV (Ultraviolet Lamp), a plasma generator, an ozone generator, etc. Taking a UV ultraviolet lamp as an example, the UV ultraviolet lamp is installed on the mounting bracket 1101, and the mounting bracket has a second communication port that communicates with the sterilization port. When the dust collection container 500 is installed in place, the UV ultraviolet lamp tube can irradiate ultraviolet light into the interior of the dust collection container 500 through the second communication port and the sterilization port to achieve the sterilization function. In other embodiments, UV ultraviolet light can also be set at the top of the dust collection bin 110. By setting a through hole at the top of the bin, the UV ultraviolet light can be irradiated onto the dust collection container 500 through the through hole at the top of the bin.
[0072] In some embodiments, the base station body 100 is further provided with a filter bracket 112 and a filter body 1121 disposed on the filter bracket 112. The filter body 1121 is located at the bottom of the dust collection chamber 110, and the filter body 1121 is detachably connected to the filter bracket 112. Exemplarily, the filter bracket 112 can adopt a sturdy frame structure and can be installed at the bottom of the dust collection chamber 110 by means of clips or screws. Its shape is adapted to the bottom contour of the dust collection container 500, and it can evenly distribute the bearing pressure. The filter body 1121 can be made of a fiber material with high-efficiency filtration performance, such as polyester fiber or polypropylene fiber, and is tightly combined with the filter bracket 112 by means of slot embedding, Velcro adhesion, or edge pressing.
[0073] When the dust extraction device 400 is working, under the action of negative pressure suction, the garbage and airflow in the dust cup 701 enter the dust collection chamber 110 through the dust collection port 101 and pass through the dust collection container 500. After being filtered by the filter body 1121, the airflow enters the dust extraction device 400. During this process, the filter body 1121 intercepts and filters dust, fine particles and other impurities in the airflow. The relatively clean gas after filtration can be discharged from the dust collection chamber 110, while the impurities remain in the filter body 1121. This effectively reduces the risk of dust and other impurities affecting internal precision components (such as the dust extraction device 400, circuit modules, etc.), thereby avoiding failures such as fan blade wear and short circuits caused by dust accumulation, extending service life, and reducing equipment maintenance frequency and repair costs.
[0074] In some embodiments, the dust collection chamber 110 further comprises a filter chamber 113 and an installation chamber 114, and the base station body 100 further comprises a receiving cavity 115, wherein the dust collection chamber 110, the filter chamber 113, the installation chamber 114, and the receiving cavity 115 are arranged sequentially from top to bottom. The filter chamber 113 is used to install the filter assembly 1131. The installation chamber 114 is used to accommodate the dust extraction device 400. The receiving cavity 115 is used to accommodate the lower part of the cleaning device 20. For example, when a handheld vacuum cleaner is docked with the base station 10, the floor brush 605 at the bottom of the vacuum cleaner can be accommodated in the receiving cavity 115.
[0075] For example, the dust extraction device 400 is a fan. The air inlet of the dust extraction device 400 is connected to the dust collection chamber 110, and the air outlet of the dust extraction device 400 is connected to the filter chamber 113. The bottom of the filter chamber 113 is provided with an air outlet 1132, which is connected to the receiving cavity 115. When the dust extraction device 400 is working, under the action of negative pressure suction, the garbage and airflow in the dust cup 701 enter the dust collection chamber 110 through the dust collection port 101, pass through the dust collection container 500, and enter the air inlet of the dust extraction device 400 after passing through the filter body 1121. At this time, most of the garbage will remain in the dust collection container 500, and a small part of the impurities will be discharged from the air outlet of the dust extraction device 400 to the filter chamber 113. The filter chamber 113 filters the impurities in the airflow through the filter component 1131 to form relatively clean air, which enters the receiving cavity 115 through the air outlet 1132 at the bottom of the filter chamber 113 and is discharged from the base station body 100. Furthermore, the accommodating cavity 115 can utilize the impact and sweeping action of airflow to clean dust, hair, and other debris adhering to the surface of the floor brush 605, thereby improving the cleaning effect.
[0076] In some embodiments, the control device 200 may be integrated into a main control board, which is fixed within the base station body 100. For example, the main control board is located on the rear side of the base station body 100, such as the rear side of the docking cavity 102. The base station 10 also includes multiple detection devices, all electrically connected to the control device 200. These detection devices are used to detect the status of multiple functional modules of the base station 10, so that the control device 200 can implement logical control and functional regulation of the base station 10.
[0077] The specific functions and locations of the various detection devices are described below.
[0078] Multiple detection devices may include a first detection device 116, which is disposed within the base station body 100 and used to detect the presence status of the dust collection container 500, including whether the dust collection container 500 is in place or not. For example, the first detection device 116 is a first micro switch 1161, which is disposed on the bottom surface of the mounting bracket 1101. When the dust collection container 500 is in place, the insert bracket 501 is fully inserted into the mounting bracket 1101, and the insert bracket 501 presses the trigger terminal of the first micro switch 1161, causing the internal circuit of the first micro switch 1161 to conduct, thereby sending a trigger signal. Conversely, when the dust collection container 500 is not in place, the trigger terminal of the first micro switch 1161 is not pressed. The trigger signal sent by the first micro switch 1161 can be transmitted to the control device 200 to indicate that the dust collection container 500 is correctly installed, allowing the base station 10 to perform functions such as negative pressure dust collection and sterilization. If the dust collection container 500 is not in place, the base station 10 is not allowed to perform functions such as dust collection and sterilization.
[0079] The detection mechanism of the first detection device 116 effectively prevents potential safety hazards that may arise from the operation of the base station 10 when the dust collection container 500 is not installed correctly, such as garbage overflow polluting the home environment, damage to internal components due to abnormal suction, and leakage of UV light rays, thus improving the safety of the base station 10 during operation. In other embodiments, the first detection device 116 can also be a non-contact photoelectric switch or proximity switch, as long as it can achieve the effect of detecting the presence of the dust collection container 500.
[0080] In some embodiments, the plurality of detection devices further include a second detection device 117, which is disposed within the base station body 100 and is used to detect the open / closed state of the cover 108, including an open state and a closed state. Exemplarily, the second detection device 117 is a second microswitch 1171, which is disposed inside the base station body 100, for example, located behind the first port assembly 106. When the cover 108 is in the closed state, the cover 108 is close to the front of the base station body 100, and the cover 108 presses the trigger terminal (e.g., a spring) of the corresponding second microswitch 1171, causing the internal circuit of the second microswitch 1171 to conduct, thereby sending a trigger signal. Conversely, when the cover 108 is in the open state, the trigger terminal of the second microswitch 1171 is not pressed. The trigger signal sent by the second micro switch 1171 can be transmitted to the control device 200 to indicate that the compartment cover 108 has been completely closed, so that the base station 10 can perform functions such as dust collection and sterilization.
[0081] The detection mechanism of the second detection device 117 effectively prevents adverse effects that may occur during the operation of the base station 10 when the cover 108 is not fully closed, such as accidental detachment of the dust collection container 500, insufficient airtightness in the dust collection chamber 107 affecting negative pressure suction, and leakage of UV lamp light, thus ensuring the operational stability and safety of the base station 10. In other embodiments, the second detection device 117 can also be a non-contact photoelectric switch or proximity switch, as long as it can achieve the effect of detecting the open / closed state of the cover 108.
[0082] In some embodiments, the plurality of detection devices further includes a third detection device 118, which is disposed within the base station body 100 and is used to detect the position state of the pusher 302, including a retracted state and an extended state. Exemplarily, the third detection device 118 includes two third microswitches 1181, namely third microswitch 1181A and third microswitch 1181B, which are respectively located at the extreme positions of the movement range of the second moving member 3032. When the pusher 302 is in the retracted state, the second moving member 3032 presses the trigger terminal of the third microswitch 1181A, causing the internal circuit of the third microswitch 1181A to conduct, thereby sending a trigger signal. Simultaneously, the second moving member 3032 separates from the third microswitch 1181B. When the pusher 302 is in the ejected state, the second moving member 3032 presses the trigger end of the third micro switch 1181B, causing the internal circuit of the third micro switch 1181B to be turned on, thereby sending a trigger signal. At the same time, the second moving member 3032 is separated from the third micro switch 1181A.
[0083] It is understood that when the third microswitch 1181A sends a trigger signal, it can be confirmed that the pusher 302 is in the retracted state. When the third microswitch 1181B sends a trigger signal, it can be confirmed that the pusher 302 is in the ejected state. When neither the third microswitch 1181A nor the third microswitch 1181B sends a trigger signal, it is generally considered that the pusher 302 is between the retracted and ejected states. Thus, the control device 200 obtains the position state of the pusher 302 through the trigger signal of the third detection device 118, so as to confirm the moving distance of the pusher 302 or whether the pusher 302 has become stuck, ensuring that the scraping action is performed normally. In other embodiments, the third detection device 118 can also be a non-contact photoelectric switch or a proximity switch, as long as it can achieve the effect of positioning the pusher 302.
[0084] In some embodiments, the plurality of detection devices further includes a fourth detection device 119, which is disposed within the base station body 100 and is used to detect the dust collection container 500's dust fullness status. The dust fullness status includes both full and not full. A full dustness status means that the garbage in the dust collection container 500 has reached a specified level, making it difficult to continue performing negative pressure vacuuming, garbage collection, and other operations, requiring the user to be reminded to empty the dust collection container 500 promptly. A not full dustness status means that the garbage in the dust collection container 500 has not reached the specified level, and the base station 10 can continue performing dust collection and other operations. For example, the fourth detection device 119 can be disposed around the dust collection container 500, in other locations within the dust collection chamber 110, or in other locations within the base station body 100, as long as it can detect the dust fullness status of the dust collection container 500.
[0085] For example, the fourth detection device 119 can be an airflow sensor. The airflow sensor can detect the wind speed and air pressure data inside the dust collection chamber 107. Since the more garbage collected inside the dust collection container 500, the greater the airflow resistance and the lower the wind speed, affecting the working efficiency of the dust extraction device 400, the control device 200 can assess the amount of garbage accumulated in the dust collection container 500 based on the detection data of the airflow sensor, thereby confirming the current dust fullness of the dust collection container 500. In other embodiments, the fourth detection device 119 can also be a weight sensor (the more garbage contained in the dust collection container 500, the greater the overall weight), a vision sensor (using a camera to capture the amount of garbage contained in the dust collection container 500), etc., as long as it can achieve the effect of estimating the dust fullness of the dust collection container 500.
[0086] The cleaning equipment 20 provided in this disclosure will be described below.
[0087] The cleaning device 20 is a handheld cleaning device; in this embodiment, a handheld vacuum cleaner is used as an example. The cleaning device 20 includes a main body 600, a dust cup assembly 700, and a scraping assembly 800. The dust cup assembly 700 is disposed on the main body 600, and the scraping assembly 800 is disposed on the dust cup assembly 700.
[0088] See Figure 3 Specifically, the main body 600 includes a housing 602, an extension tube 603, a handle 604, and a floor brush 605. The housing 602 houses functional modules such as a control module and a vacuum cleaner fan. For example, the control module can be mounted on a circuit board within the housing 602, and the vacuum cleaner fan can be positioned above and connected to the dust cup assembly 700. The dust cup assembly 700 is located within the housing 602 and is detachably connected to it. The extension tube 603 is located within the housing 602 and extends in a straight line. The handle 604 is located at the end of the housing 602 furthest from the extension tube 603, and the floor brush 605 is located at the end of the extension tube 603 furthest from the housing 602, and is detachably connected to the extension tube 603.
[0089] When using the cleaning device 20, the user can hold the handle 604 and push the floor brush 605 across the surface to be cleaned. The floor brush 605 cleans the surface, for example, sucking up dust, hair, and other debris into the dust cup 701 for storage. Furthermore, the floor brush 605 can be one of several replaceable accessories 6051 for the cleaning device 20. The floor brush 605 can be replaced with other accessories 6051, such as a flat nozzle, a mite removal brush, or a long-side nozzle. When the extension tube 603 is removed and the mite removal head is directly connected to the housing 602, the user can hold the handle 604 and push the mite removal head across sofas, beds, car seat cushions, etc., to remove mites and clean these surfaces.
[0090] In some embodiments, the cleaning device 20 further includes a second battery 900B disposed within the main body. The second battery 900B is electrically connected to the control module and serves as the power source for the cleaning device 20 when operating independently. The second battery 900B is detachably connected to the main body. When the second battery 900B is low on power, the user can replace it with a first battery 900A, which has a higher charge level, thereby improving the battery life of the cleaning device 20.
[0091] The second battery 900B has the same structure as the first battery 900A, and also includes a second power terminal and a battery indicator light 901. The main body has a slot for accommodating the second battery 900B, which is detachably mounted within the slot. Detachment methods include, but are not limited to, snap-fit connections, hook connections, and magnetic connections. A third power terminal is located on the bottom surface of the slot, and this third power terminal is electrically connected to the functional modules built into the cleaning device 20. When the second battery 900B is mounted in the main body, it is electrically connected to the third power terminal via the second power terminal, supplying power to the various functional modules of the cleaning device 20. Even after the first battery 900A replaces the second battery 900B in the main body, the first battery 900A can still be electrically connected to the third power terminal via the second power terminal, supplying power to the various functional modules of the cleaning device 20.
[0092] In some embodiments, the cleaning device 20 is further provided with a second port component 601, defining a main body having a front and a back, wherein when the cleaning device 20 is docked to the base station 10, the front of the main body faces away from the base station 100, and the back of the main body faces the base station 100. The second port component 601 is disposed on the back of the main body.
[0093] Specifically, the second port component 601 includes a second communication terminal 6011 and a second charging terminal 6012. The second communication terminal 6011 is electrically connected to the control module built into the cleaning device 20, and the second charging terminal 6012 is electrically connected to a third power terminal. The second communication terminal 6011 is a second terminal contact, located on the outer surface of the extension tube and corresponding to the position of the first terminal contact. When the cleaning device 20 is connected to the base station 10, the first terminal contact and the second terminal contact make contact and establish a communication link.
[0094] For example, the second charging terminal 6012 includes a second positive contact and a second negative contact, both of which are disposed on the outer surface of the extension tube. The second positive contact, the second negative contact, and the second terminal contact are arranged side by side. When the cleaning device 20 is connected to the base station 10, the second positive contact and the second negative contact respectively contact the first positive contact and the first negative contact, establishing a current loop so that the base station 10 can charge the second battery 900B.
[0095] In some embodiments, the cleaning device 20 further includes at least one of an indicator light 606 and a display screen 607, which are disposed on the main body 600. Both the indicator light 606 and the display screen 607 can be used to display the working status, charging status, battery level, etc., of the cleaning device 20, so that the user can be informed of the current status of the cleaning device 20.
[0096] For example, the display screen 607 is located on the back of the main body 600. The indicator light 606 can be the battery indicator light 901 of the second battery 900B of the main body 600, and the indicator light 606 is located on the front of the main body 600. Thus, the display screen 607 and the indicator light 606 are located on opposite sides of the main body 600. When the cleaning device 20 is connected to the base station 10, the indicator light 606 is located in front of the base station 100, making it convenient for the user to directly view the display content of the indicator light 606; when the cleaning device 20 is not connected to the base station 10, the user can view the display content of the display screen 607 from the front of the main body 600, thereby widening the display field of the cleaning device 20 and improving the user experience.
[0097] On the other hand, by using the battery indicator light 901 built into the second battery 900B as the display light 606 of the main body, the number of light-emitting elements can be reduced while meeting the requirements of the lighting effect function, simplifying the structural design and reducing hardware costs.
[0098] In some embodiments, the dust cup assembly 700 includes a dust cup 701 and a filter 702, with the filter 702 disposed inside the dust cup 701. The dust cup 701 is provided with a cover 703, and a suction chamber 7011 is formed inside the dust cup 701. The cover 703 is detachably disposed on the outer surface of the dust cup 701, and a mounting cavity 7012 is formed between the cover 703 and the dust cup 701. A sliding hole 7013 is formed between the edge of the cover 703 and the dust cup 701.
[0099] For example, the dust cup 701 can be a circular cup shape, the filter screen 702 is a metal mesh with dense mesh, and the space inside the dust cup 701 other than the filter screen 702 can be used to temporarily store garbage.
[0100] In some embodiments, the scraping assembly 800 includes a scraper 801 and a toggle member 802. The scraper 801 is annular and is fitted around the outer periphery of the filter screen 702. A mounting base 7021 is provided at the top of the filter screen 702, and the mounting base 7021 is detachably connected to the dust cup 701. The scraper 801 is slidably engaged with the mounting base 7021, and the toggle member 802 is connected to the scraper 801. The scraper 801 is provided with a scraper body 8011. The scraper body 8011 is a flexible material (e.g., rubber, brush, etc.) and is annularly fitted around the outer periphery of the filter screen 702. During movement, the scraper 801 moves in close contact with the filter screen 702 via the scraper body 8011, thereby cleaning the debris scraped off the filter screen 702. In other embodiments, the scraper 801 is fitted around the outer periphery of the filter screen 702 and contacts the inner wall of the dust cup 701. Therefore, when the scraper 801 moves up and down to perform the dust scraping operation, it can also scrape off the debris, such as dust and hair, from the inner wall of the dust cup 701.
[0101] Understandably, during the process of filtering dirt, the metal filter 702 may generate static electricity, which can cause hair, dust, lint, and other contaminants to adhere to and become entangled in the dirt. With repeated use, this buildup will gradually increase until it completely covers the filter 702, causing a loss of performance in the cleaning equipment 20. Cleaning the filter 702 using the scraping component 800 ensures the normal operation of the cleaning equipment 20.
[0102] In some embodiments, the scraping assembly 800 further includes a first transmission mechanism 803, through which the scraping member 801 and the actuating member 802 are connected. The first transmission mechanism 803 includes a first moving member 8031 and a first rotating member 8032. The first moving member 8031 is connected to the scraping member 801, and the first rotating member 8032 is connected to both the first moving member 8031 and the actuating member 802. The first rotating member 8032 converts the movement of the actuating member 802 along a first direction into the movement of the first moving member 8031 along a second direction, and also converts the movement of the actuating member 802 along the second direction into the movement of the first moving member 8031 along the first direction. The first direction is the F1 direction shown in the figure, and the second direction is the F2 direction shown in the figure. The first and second directions are opposite, and both are parallel to the central axis of the dust cup 701. The scraping member 801 can move from a first position to a second position along a first direction, and the scraping member 801 can move from a second position to a first position along a second direction.
[0103] Specifically, the first transmission mechanism 803 is disposed within the mounting cavity 7012, and the actuating member 802 extends at least partially through the sliding hole 7013 beyond the outer surface of the housing 602 for the pushing member 302 to abut against. Exemplarily, the sliding hole 7013 extends along a first direction, and the length of the sliding hole 7013 along the first direction limits the range of movement of the actuating member 802. When the cleaning device 20 is docked to the base station 10, the actuating member 802 is positioned above the pushing member 302. When the pushing member 302 moves from a retracted state to an extended state, the pushing member 302 can push the actuating member 802 upwards, thereby causing the actuating member 802 to move.
[0104] Specifically, the scraping assembly 800 also includes a reset member 804, which is used to drive the first moving member 8031 to move along the second direction, so as to drive the scraping member 801 to scrape the filter screen 702 along the second direction, thereby realizing the reset of the scraping member 801 from the second position to the first position.
[0105] The reset component 804 is a component with good elastic deformation, such as a spring. In this embodiment, the reset component 804 is used as a spring as an example. The scraping assembly 800 also includes a guide shaft 805. The first moving component 8031 moves along a first direction and a second direction under the guidance of the guide shaft 805. The reset component 804 is sleeved on the guide shaft 805 and its two ends abut against the housing 602 and the first moving component 8031.
[0106] During the scraping process of the scraping member 801 scraping along the first direction (i.e., during the process of the pushing member 302 switching from the retracted state to the ejected state), the spring is gradually compressed and stores a certain amount of elastic potential energy. When the force on the actuating member 802 is removed (such as when the pushing member 302 switches from the ejected state to the retracted state), the spring gradually restores its elastic deformation. During this process, the spring releases its elastic potential energy, which can drive the first moving member 8031 to move along the second direction, thereby driving the scraping member 801 to perform a second scraping along the second direction.
[0107] In one embodiment, the actuating member 802 and the first moving member 8031 are connected by a transmission rope 806. Specifically, the dust cup 701 has a groove 710 extending along a first direction, and the actuating member 802 is provided with a sliding member 8021, which slides in engagement with the groove 710. The two ends of the transmission rope 806 are respectively connected to the sliding member 8021 and the first moving member 8031.
[0108] The first rotating member 8032 includes a rotatable pulley, and a transmission rope 806 is wrapped around the outer circumference of the first rotating member 8032. When the pushing member 302 moves from the retracted state to the ejected state, the pushing member 302 drives the actuating member 802 to move. The actuating member 802 drives one end of the transmission rope 806 (the end connected to the actuating member 802) to move in the second direction. Since the transmission rope 806 is wrapped around the outer circumference of the first rotating member 8032, the first rotating member 8032 is driven to rotate counterclockwise by the transmission rope 806. The other end of the transmission rope 806 (the end connected to the first moving member 8031) moves in the first direction, thereby pulling the first moving member 8031 to move in the first direction, causing the scraping member 801 to scrape the filter screen 702 in the first direction.
[0109] When the pusher 302 moves from the ejected state to the retracted state, under the action of the reset member 804, the reset member 804 drives one end of the transmission rope 806 (the end connected to the toggle member 802) to move in the first direction via the actuating member 802. Since the transmission rope 806 is wrapped around the outer circumference of the first rotating member 8032, the first rotating member 8032 is driven to rotate clockwise by the transmission rope 806. The other end of the transmission rope 806 (the end connected to the first moving member 8031) moves in the second direction, thereby pulling the first moving member 8031 to move in the second direction, so that the scraping member 801 scrapes the filter screen 702 in the second direction.
[0110] It is understood that in this embodiment, the first transmission mechanism 803 achieves rotation through the cooperation of a fixed pulley. In other embodiments, the first transmission mechanism 803 may also adopt other transmission mechanisms, such as a gear and rack mechanism (the first rotating member 8032 may be a gear, and the first moving member 8031 may be a rack). This disclosure does not limit this.
[0111] Please refer to the following: Figure 12 In some embodiments, the dust cup 701 further includes a lid 704, which is rotatably disposed at the bottom of the dust cup 701 via a hinge shaft 709. The bottom of the dust cup 701 has a dust discharge port 705 communicating with the suction chamber 7011. The lid 704 can rotate about the hinge shaft 709 to a closed state or a separate state. In the closed state, the lid seals the dust discharge port 705, preventing debris from the dust cup 701 from being discharged outwards. In the separate state, the lid 704 is at least partially away from the dust discharge port 705, allowing debris from the dust cup 701 to be discharged to the outside through the dust discharge port 705.
[0112] For example, a mounting sleeve 706 is provided at the lower end of the dust cup 701. The mounting sleeve 706 is fitted onto the lower end of the dust cup 701 and fixedly connected to the dust cup 701. The mounting sleeve 706 has an opening that communicates with the dust discharge port 705. The lower end of the dust cup 701 is gradually tapered downwards, so that an active space 707 is formed between the outer wall of the lower end of the dust cup 701 and the inner wall of the mounting sleeve 706.
[0113] A cup lid 704 is disposed on the bottom surface of a mounting sleeve 706 and is hinged to the mounting sleeve 706 via a hinge shaft 709, which is housed within a movable space 707. The cup lid 704 is also equipped with a torsion spring 708, which is positioned between the cup lid 704 and the mounting sleeve 706. The torsion spring 708 exerts a pushing force on the cup lid 704, ensuring that the cup lid 704 is in a closed state in its natural state. A force-bearing block 7041 is provided on the side of the cup lid 704 near the hinge shaft 709, and the force-bearing block 7041 is used for the opening device 103 to engage with it. With the hinge shaft 709 as the center, the positions of the force-bearing blocks 7041 and the geometric center of the cup lid 704 are located on opposite sides of the hinge shaft 709.
[0114] When the dust cup 701 is not inserted into the base station body 100, the cup cover 704 is in a closed state, and the dust cup 701 is closed, preventing the discharge of waste. When the dust cup 701 is inserted into the base station body 100, the top block 1031 can abut against the force-bearing block 7041 of the cup cover 704, pushing the force-bearing block 7041 into the movable space 707, causing the cup cover 704 to rotate forward around the hinge axis 709 to a separated state, allowing the interior of the dust cup 701 to communicate with the dust collection port 101, realizing automatic opening of the dust cup 701 and improving waste removal efficiency. When the dust cup 701 is separated from the base station body 100, the force-bearing block 7041 gradually loses the thrust of the top block 1031, causing the cup cover 704 to rotate in the opposite direction around the hinge axis 709 back to a closed state, causing the dust discharge port 705 of the dust cup 701 to re-close. In this way, the dust cup 701 can automatically open and close its lid, saving users the trouble of opening and closing the lid and improving the user experience.
[0115] The control method for the base station 10 provided in this disclosure is described below. This control method can be executed by the control device 200 of the base station 10. Please refer to the following: Figure 13 The control method includes the following steps.
[0116] S01. When the cleaning equipment 20 is connected to the base station 10, the dust extraction device 400 is controlled to work for a first duration so that at least part of the garbage in the dust cup 701 is sucked into the dust collection container 500.
[0117] The dust extraction device 400, when the cleaning equipment 20 is connected to the base station 10, extracts waste from the dust cup 701 into the dust collection container 500 to perform dust collection. The first duration is the duration of a single dust collection operation performed by the dust extraction device 400. The first duration can be preset based on demand indicators or empirical data, or it can be dynamically configured according to the operating conditions of other devices. For example, the first duration can be set according to the required cleanliness of the dust cup 701, or it can be configured according to the operating duration of the drive device 300. For example, the first duration can be 8 seconds, 10 seconds, 15 seconds, etc.
[0118] When the cleaning device 20 is docked to the base station 10, the dust cup 701 is connected to the dust collection container 500 through the dust collection port 101. In response to confirming that the cleaning device 20 is docked to the base station 10, the control device 200 sends a dust collection control signal to the dust extraction device 400 for a first duration. The dust extraction device 400 operates for the first duration in response to the dust collection control signal. During the operation of the dust extraction device 400, the dust extraction device 400 uses negative pressure airflow to suck the debris in the dust cup 701 into the dust collection container 500 to empty the debris in the dust cup 701.
[0119] For example, step S01 can be specifically: determining whether the base station 10 meets the preset start-up conditions; if yes, sending a dust collection control signal to the dust extraction device 400 according to the first duration; if no, ending the process.
[0120] S02. Control the drive device 300 to operate for a second period of time, so that the drive device 300 drives the actuating member 802 to move, thereby driving the scraping member 801 to perform reciprocating motion to scrape off at least part of the garbage on the filter screen 702.
[0121] The drive unit 300 is used to scrape off debris attached to the filter screen 702 when the cleaning equipment 20 is docked with the base station 10, thereby performing a scraping operation. The second duration is the duration of a single scraping operation performed by the drive unit 300. The second duration can be preset according to demand indicators or empirical data, or it can be dynamically configured according to the working conditions of other devices. For example, the second duration can be set according to the required number of scraping operations of the scraping component 801. For example, the first duration can be 6 seconds, 8 seconds, 10 seconds, etc.
[0122] In response to confirmation that the cleaning equipment 20 is docked with the base station 10, the control device 200 sends a dust-scraping control signal to the drive component 301 of the drive device 300 for a second duration. The drive component 301 of the drive device 300 operates for the second duration in response to the dust-scraping control signal. During the operation of the drive component 301, the actuating component 802 is driven to move, thereby causing the scraping component 801 to reciprocate and scrape the outer surface of the filter screen 702, and the debris scraped off from the filter screen 702 can be sucked into the dust collection container 500 by the negative pressure airflow.
[0123] For example, step S02 can be specifically: determining whether the base station 10 meets the preset start-up conditions; if so, sending a scraping control signal to the drive device 300 according to the second duration; if not, ending the process.
[0124] Understandably, after the cleaning device 20 is connected to the base station 10, the dust cup 701 is connected to the dust collection container 500 through the dust collection port 101, and the actuating component 802 is connected to the driving device 300. During the first working period of the dust extraction device 400 and the second working period of the driving device 300, the debris in the dust cup 701 is sucked into the dust collection container 500, and the debris attached to the filter screen 702 is scraped off by the scraping component 801. This provides a double cleaning of both the dust cup 701 and the filter screen 702, resulting in a more comprehensive cleaning, effectively reducing debris residue on both surfaces, improving the cleaning effect of the cleaning device 20, ensuring the working performance of the cleaning device 20, and ultimately enhancing the user experience.
[0125] In this embodiment, the first duration is greater than or equal to the second duration, so that the duration of dust collection is greater than or equal to the duration of scraping. This ensures that the dust collection device 400 continues to work and suck up the garbage during the reciprocating motion of the scraping member 801, so that the garbage scraped off the filter screen 702 can be effectively sucked into the dust collection container 500, avoiding the garbage scraped off from re-attaching to the filter screen 702 or adhering to the dust cup 701 due to changes in airflow, thus reducing garbage residue.
[0126] In some embodiments, the start and end times of the dust extraction device 400 are defined as a first time and a second time, respectively, with a first duration between the first and second times. The start and end times of the drive device 300 are defined as a third time and a fourth time, respectively, with a second duration between the third and fourth times. The first time is earlier than or equal to the third time, and the second time is later than or equal to the fourth time.
[0127] In the example disclosed herein, the first moment is equal to the third moment, the second moment is later than the fourth moment, and a delay duration is formed between the second moment and the fourth moment.
[0128] At the first moment (i.e., the third moment), the control device 200 sends a dust collection control signal to the dust extraction device 400 and a dust scraping control signal to the drive device 300. While the scraping component 801 reciprocates to scrape the filter screen 702, the dust extraction device 400 sucks all the debris in the dust cup 701 (including the original debris in the dust cup 701 and the debris scraped off from the filter screen 702) into the dust collection container 500.
[0129] The control device 200 records the working time of the drive device 300 and the dust extraction device 400. After confirming that the second time period has elapsed, at the fourth moment, the control device 200 sends a dust scraping stop signal to the drive device 300. The drive device 300 stops working in response to the dust scraping stop signal, and the scraping component 801 stops moving.
[0130] The control device 200 records the working time of the drive device 300 and the dust collection device 400. At the third moment, the control device 200 sends a dust collection stop signal to the dust collection device 400. The dust collection device 400 responds to the dust collection stop signal and stops working, ending the dust collection operation.
[0131] By utilizing the working time relationship between the dust extraction device 400 and the driving device 300, after the driving device 300 stops working, the dust extraction device 400 stops working after a short delay. This ensures that the dust extraction device 400 not only extracts the original debris in the dust cup 701, but also extracts the debris scraped off by the filter screen 702. This prevents the debris scraped off by the scraper 801 from remaining in the dust cup 701, thus achieving coordinated work between the dust extraction device 400 and the driving device 300 and improving the cleaning effect.
[0132] In other embodiments, the first moment may be earlier than the third moment, and the second moment may be equal to the fourth moment; or, the first moment may be equal to the third moment, and the second moment may be equal to the fourth moment, as long as the effect of the dust extraction device 400 and the driving device 300 working together can be achieved, and this disclosure does not impose any restrictions on this.
[0133] In some embodiments, the number of times the scraper 801 performs reciprocating motion in a single operation of the drive device 300 is defined as n, and the second duration is set according to n. For example, n≥2, that is, the scraper 801 performs reciprocating motion at least twice. Thus, the control device 200 can obtain the actual number of reciprocating motions performed by the scraper 801, convert the number into the movement time of the scraper 801, and thereby determine the operating time of the drive device 300. In the example of this disclosure, n=2 is used as an example. When the control device 200 confirms that the scraper 801 has actually performed reciprocating motion twice, it confirms that the drive device 300 has operated for the second duration and sends a scraping stop signal.
[0134] Specifically, the number of reciprocating movements performed by the scraping member 801 can be confirmed by the detection results of the third detection device 118. The third detection device 118 is disposed within the base station body 100 and is used to detect the position state of the pushing member 302. The position state includes a retracted state and an extended state. In the retracted state, the pushing member 302 does not extend beyond the base station body 100; in the extended state, the pushing member 302 extends beyond the base station body 100 and is connected to the actuating member 802. The actuating member 802 is drive-connected to the scraping member 801.
[0135] The starting point and ending point of the reciprocating motion of the scraper 801 are defined as the first position and the second position, respectively. The scraper 801 is connected to the pusher 302. When the pusher 302 is in the retracted state, the scraper 801 is in the first position; when the pusher 302 is in the ejected state, the scraper 801 is in the second position.
[0136] The third detection device 118 includes a third microswitch 1181A and a third microswitch 1181B, which are located at the extreme positions of the movement range of the pusher 302. When the pusher 302 is in the retracted state, it triggers the third microswitch 1181A, causing it to send a trigger signal to the control device 200. The control device 200 then confirms that the scraper 801 is in the first position. When the pusher 302 is in the ejected state, it triggers the third microswitch 1181B, causing it to send a trigger signal to the control device 200. The control device 200 then confirms that the scraper 801 is in the second position.
[0137] The control device 200 receives trigger signals from the third microswitches 1181A and 1181B in real time, and determines the current position of the scraper 801 based on the trigger signals from the third microswitches 1181A and 1181B, so as to calculate the number of times the scraper 801 has performed reciprocating motion. In response to the scraper 801 performing reciprocating motion a number n, the control device 200 confirms that the working time of the drive device 300 has reached the second duration and sends a scraping stop signal.
[0138] It is understandable that the third detection device 118 detects whether the scraper 801 has moved to the first position or the second position, and controls the working time of the drive device 300 based on this. On the one hand, it can ensure that the scraper 801 cleans the filter screen 702 thoroughly and over a large area by reciprocating. On the other hand, it can ensure that the scraper 801 can automatically return to the first position after completing the scraping task once, so as to avoid the scraper 801 being stuck between the first position and the second position and affecting the normal use of the filter screen 702.
[0139] Please refer to the following: Figure 14 In some embodiments, the control method further includes the following steps.
[0140] S03. After the dust extraction device 400 and the drive device 300 have finished working, control the sterilization device 111 to work for a third time to sterilize the dust collection container 500.
[0141] The sterilization device 111 is used to perform sterilization work, and the third duration is the duration of a single sterilization operation performed by the sterilization device 111. The third duration is longer than the first duration, and the third duration can be preset according to demand indicators or empirical data. For example, the third duration can be set according to the sterilization rate requirement of the dust collection container 500, such as 25 minutes, 30 minutes, etc.
[0142] In response to confirmation that the dust extraction device 400 and the drive device 300 have finished operating, the control device 200 sends a sterilization control signal to the sterilization device 111 for a third duration. The sterilization device 111 operates for the third duration in response to the sterilization control signal. During this period, the sterilization device 111 sterilizes the dust collection container 500, reducing bacterial growth within the dust collection container 500 and improving hygiene and cleanliness.
[0143] For example, step S03 can be specifically: determining whether the dust extraction device 400 and the drive device 300 have finished working; if yes, then sending a sterilization control signal to the sterilization device 111 according to the third duration; if no, then ending.
[0144] In some embodiments, the control device 200 may acquire the detection results of multiple detection devices and evaluate whether the current state of the base station 10 meets the activation conditions based on the detection results of the multiple detection devices. The activation conditions may include at least one or more combinations of: confirming that the cleaning device 20 establishes an electrical connection with the base station 10 (including at least one of the following: a connection between a first communication terminal 1061 and a second communication terminal 6011, or a connection between a first charging terminal 1062 and a second charging terminal 6012); confirming that the dust collection container 500 is in place; confirming that the compartment cover 108 is in a closed state; and confirming that the cover opening device 103 opens the cover 704 of the dust cup 701. When the activation conditions include two or more combinations, the above confirmation process may be executed simultaneously, sequentially, or randomly, and may be adjusted according to the actual situation. This disclosure does not impose any limitations on this process. For example, the start-up conditions include: 1. Confirming that the dust collection container 500 is in place; 2. Confirming that the cover 108 is closed; 3. Confirming that when the cover opening device 103 opens the cover 704 of the dust cup 701, conditions 1, 2, and 3 can be confirmed simultaneously, or in sequence, such as 1, 2, and 3, or 1, 3, and 2, or in a random order.
[0145] In the example disclosed herein, the activation conditions include: confirming that the cleaning device 20 has established an electrical connection with the base station 10, confirming that the dust collection container 500 is in place, confirming that the lid 108 is closed, and confirming that the lid opening device 103 has opened the lid 704 of the dust cup 701. In other embodiments, the activation conditions may be added, reduced, or adjusted according to actual needs.
[0146] Please refer to the following: Figure 15 In some embodiments, before step S01, the control method further includes: S04, confirming that the lid opening device 103 opens the lid 704 of the dust cup 701.
[0147] The base station body 100 is equipped with a cover opening device 103, which is used to open the cover 704 of the dust cup 701. During the docking process of the cleaning equipment 20 to the base station 10, as the dust cup 701 is inserted into the docking cavity 102 from top to bottom, the top block 1031 of the cover opening device 103 can hold the cover 704 at the bottom of the dust cup 701 and cause the cover 704 to rotate and open automatically. When the dust cup 701 of the cleaning equipment 20 is correctly docked, the cover 704 is fully opened.
[0148] Please refer to the following: Figure 16 In some embodiments, before step S01, the control method further includes: S05, confirming that the dust collection container 500 is in place.
[0149] The first detection device 116 is used to detect the presence status of the dust collection container 500, which includes being in place and not being in place.
[0150] In response to receiving a trigger signal from the first detection device 116, the control device 200 confirms that the dust collection container 500 is in place. When the dust collection container 500 is in place, the insertion bracket 501 of the dust collection container 500 triggers the first detection device 116, which sends a trigger signal for the control device 200 to determine whether the dust collection container 500 is in place or not.
[0151] The first detection device 116 detects the position status of the dust collection container 500, ensuring that the base station 10 only performs maintenance work when the dust collection container 500 is correctly installed, thus avoiding situations such as garbage overflow and pollution, damage to internal components due to abnormal suction, and leakage of UV light rays during the operation of the base station 10.
[0152] For example, step S05 can specifically be: determining whether a trigger signal from the first detection device 116 has been received; if yes, then the start control device 200 and dust extraction device 400 are allowed to work (started after the start conditions are met); if no, then it is confirmed that the dust collection container 500 is not in place, and the start control device 200 and dust extraction device 400 are not allowed to work.
[0153] Please refer to the following: Figure 17 In some embodiments, before step S01, the control method further includes: S06, confirming that the compartment cover 108 is in a closed state.
[0154] The second detection device 117 is used to detect the opening and closing status of the cover 108, which includes an open state and a closed state.
[0155] In response to receiving a trigger signal from the second detection device 117, the control device 200 confirms that the cover 108 is in the closed state. When the cover 108 is in the closed state, the cover 108 is close to the front of the base station body 100 and triggers the second detection device 117, which then sends a trigger signal.
[0156] The second detection device 117 detects the open and closed states of the cover 108 to ensure that the base station 10 only performs maintenance work when the cover 108 is completely closed, thereby preventing the dust collection container 500 from accidentally falling off and ensuring the airtightness of the dust collection chamber 107, thus ensuring the operational stability and safety of the base station 10.
[0157] For example, step S06 can specifically be: determining whether a trigger signal from the second detection device 117 has been received; if yes, then the start control device 200 and dust extraction device 400 are allowed to work (started after the start conditions are met); if no, then the compartment cover 108 is confirmed to be in the open state, and the start control device 200 and dust extraction device 400 are not allowed to work.
[0158] Please refer to the following: Figure 18 Specifically, before step S01, the control method further includes: S07, confirming that the cleaning equipment 20 and the base station 10 have established an electrical connection.
[0159] In response to the connection between the first port component 106 and the second port component 601, the control device 200 confirms that the cleaning device 20 has established an electrical connection with the base station 10. It can be understood that when the cleaning device 20 is normally connected to the base station 10, the contact between the first port component 106 and the second port component 601 serves as evidence that the cleaning device 20 is correctly connected to the base station 10, and the control device 200 and the dust extraction device 400 can then be activated. If the cleaning device 20 is not normally connected to the base station 10, such as due to misalignment or jamming, the first port component 106 and the second port component 601 cannot make good contact. This indicates that the cleaning device 20 has not established an electrical connection with the base station 10, and the control device 200 and the dust extraction device 400 will not be activated temporarily.
[0160] In some embodiments, step S07 includes: S071, confirming the connection between the first charging terminal 1062 and the second charging terminal 6012.
[0161] In response to detecting the formation of a current loop between the first charging terminal 1062 and the second charging terminal 6012, the control device 200 confirms that the first charging terminal 1062 and the second charging terminal 6012 are connected. For example, the detection of a current loop can be achieved by connecting a sampling resistor in series in the output loop of the first charging terminal 1062 of the base station 10, and measuring whether a small current flows in the output loop. When the first charging terminal 1062 and the second charging terminal 6012 are in good contact, the charging management system inside the base station 10 will start working, attempting to charge through the cleaning device 20 via the second charging terminal 6012, thus detecting the corresponding current value. If the corresponding current value can be detected, the first charging terminal 1062 and the second charging terminal 6012 are considered connected; otherwise, they are considered not connected.
[0162] By utilizing the connection status of the first charging terminal 1062 and the second charging terminal 6012, the base station 10 is evaluated to determine whether it meets the corresponding startup conditions. This ensures that the base station 10 performs maintenance work only when the cleaning equipment 20 has been properly aligned and the current loop has been established. This reduces the risk of garbage spillage during dust extraction, which could pollute the home environment, or cause poor electrode contact and charging failure, if the cleaning equipment 20 is not properly aligned or stuck.
[0163] For example, step S071 can specifically be: determining whether the first charging terminal 1062 and the second charging terminal 6012 are connected; if yes, then the start control device 200 and the dust extraction device 400 are allowed to work (started after the start conditions are met); if no, then the first charging terminal 1062 and the second charging terminal 6012 are confirmed to be disconnected, and the start control device 200 and the dust extraction device 400 are not allowed to work.
[0164] In some embodiments, step S07 further includes: S072, confirming the connection between the first communication terminal 1061 and the second communication terminal 6011.
[0165] In response to detecting the formation of a communication link between the first communication terminal 1061 and the second communication terminal 6011, the control device 200 confirms that the first communication terminal 1061 and the second communication terminal 6011 are connected. For example, the method for detecting whether a communication link has been formed can be as follows: the control device 200 sends a handshake signal or a detection signal to the cleaning device 20 via the first communication terminal 1061 and the second communication terminal 6011. If the cleaning device 20 returns a response signal to the control device 200 in response to the handshake signal, or if the cleaning device 20 changes the level state of the pins of the communication line in response to the detection signal, then the first communication terminal 1061 and the second communication terminal 6011 are considered to be connected; otherwise, the first communication terminal 1061 and the second communication terminal 6011 are considered not to be connected.
[0166] By utilizing the connection status of the first communication terminal 1061 and the second communication terminal 6011, the base station 10 is evaluated to determine whether it meets the corresponding startup conditions. This ensures that the base station 10 performs maintenance work only after the cleaning equipment 20 has been properly aligned and the communication link has been established. This avoids situations where the cleaning equipment 20 is not properly aligned or stuck. At the same time, it ensures the communication quality between the cleaning equipment 20 and the base station 10, enabling functions such as control of the cleaning equipment 20 by the base station 10 and intelligent charging of the cleaning equipment 20 by the base station 10.
[0167] It is understood that the first charging terminal 1062 and the first communication terminal 1061 in this disclosure include three contacts arranged in parallel. Correspondingly, the second charging terminal 6012 and the second communication terminal 6011 also include three contacts arranged in parallel. By detecting whether a current loop and a communication link are simultaneously established between the three contacts on the base station 10 and the three contacts on the cleaning device 20, the accuracy of the docking detection of the cleaning device 20 can be improved, safety hazards can be reduced, and the probability of equipment failure can be lowered.
[0168] For example, step S072 can specifically be: determining whether the first communication terminal 1061 and the second communication terminal 6011 are connected; if so, allowing the start control device 200 and the dust extraction device 400 to operate (starting after the start conditions are met); if not, confirming that the first communication terminal 1061 and the second communication terminal 6011 are disconnected, and disallowing the start control device 200 and the dust extraction device 400 to operate. For example, the control device 200 can consider the cleaning device 20 to be correctly connected when confirming that the first charging terminal 1062 and the second charging terminal 6012 are connected, and confirm that the lid opening device 103 opens the lid 704 of the dust cup 701. The specific detection method can be found in the description of step S07.
[0169] In the example disclosed herein, the activation conditions of base station 10 include: confirming that cleaning equipment 20 has established an electrical connection with base station 10, confirming that dust collection container 500 is in place, confirming that the lid 108 is closed, and confirming that the lid opening device 103 has opened the lid 704 of dust cup 701. That is, provided that the first charging terminal 1062 of base station 10 is connected to the second charging terminal 6012 of cleaning equipment 20, the first communication terminal 1061 of base station 10 is connected to the second communication terminal 6011 of cleaning equipment 20, the dust collection container 500 is in place, the lid 108 is closed, and the lid opening device 103 has opened the lid 704 of dust cup 701, the control device 200 sends a dust collection control signal and a dust scraping control signal to activate the control device 200 and the dust extraction device 400, respectively.
[0170] In some embodiments, during the execution of step S02, the control method further includes: step S08, during the operation of the drive device 300, confirming that the third detection device 118 has not detected the position state of the pusher 302 within a fourth time period, and controlling the drive device 300 to stop operating.
[0171] The fourth duration can be set according to the time required for the scraper 801 to move between the first and second positions in a single movement. The third detection device 118 can detect the position status of the pusher 302 when it moves to the first or second position. If the third detection device 118 does not detect the position status of the pusher 302, it can be assumed that the scraper 801 is located between the first and second positions. If the dwell time of the scraper 801 between the first and second positions exceeds the fourth duration, it can be assumed that the scraping action is abnormal, such as the scraper 801 or the transmission mechanism connected to it is stuck. In this case, the control drive device 300 is stopped to promptly troubleshoot the abnormality and reduce further damage to the components.
[0172] Specifically, the control device 200 monitors the dwell time when no trigger signal is received from the third detection device 118. The dwell time is reset after the control device 200 receives the trigger signal from the third detection device 118. In response to the dwell time reaching the fourth duration, the control device 200 sends a dust removal stop signal to the drive device 300 and triggers an abnormal alarm. The abnormal alarm informs the user of the current abnormal situation through sound, light, and remote information reminders, so that the equipment can be repaired in a timely manner.
[0173] For example, the time required for the scraper 801 to move from the first position to the second position or from the second position to the first position is 1 second, and the fourth time can be set to 2 seconds. During the operation of the drive device 300, if the control device 200 does not detect that the pusher 302 is in the retracted state (i.e., does not detect that the scraper 801 is in the first position) or does not detect that the pusher 302 is in the ejected state (i.e., does not detect that the scraper 801 is in the second position) within 2 seconds, the control device 200 controls the drive device 300 to stop working.
[0174] In some embodiments, before step S01, the control method further includes: S09, confirming the current dust collection mode of the base station 10, so as to control the base station 10 to operate in the corresponding dust collection mode.
[0175] The dust collection mode includes at least an automatic mode and a manual mode. In automatic mode, the control device 200 can automatically start and control the dust extraction device 400 and the drive device 300. In manual mode, the control device 200 needs to wait for a user command; the user triggers button 120 to start and control the dust extraction device 400 and the drive device 300. That is, in step S09, if it is determined that the base station 10 is currently in automatic mode, the dust extraction device 400 starts working; or, if it is determined that the base station 10 is currently in manual mode, the dust extraction device 400 starts working in response to the triggering of button 120.
[0176] Correspondingly, step S09 can be step S091 or step S092.
[0177] S091. Determine that base station 10 is currently in automatic mode, and control dust extraction device 400 to start working.
[0178] When the control device 200 confirms that the base station 10 is in automatic mode, after the control device 200 confirms that the cleaning equipment 20 is connected to the base station 10, that is, after the base station 10 meets the start-up conditions, the control device 200 outputs dust collection control command and dust scraping control command to control the dust extraction device 400 and the drive device 300 to work respectively.
[0179] Understandably, in automatic mode, after the user connects the cleaning device 20 to the base station 10, the base station 10 will run automatically without requiring any additional user operation to start it. The method of use is simple and quick, and it can avoid the situation where the user forgets to start it, resulting in the cleaning device 20 not being cleaned in time.
[0180] Correspondingly, step S09 also includes: S092, determining that the base station 10 is currently in manual mode, and in response to the button 120 being triggered, controlling the dust extraction device 400 to start working.
[0181] The button 120 is located on the surface of the base station body 100. When the user touches the button 120, the button 120 can be triggered and send an interactive command to the control device 200.
[0182] When the control device 200 confirms that the base station 10 is in manual mode, after confirming that the cleaning device 20 is connected to the base station 10, that is, after the base station 10 meets the start-up conditions, the control device 200 waits for the button 120 to be triggered. After receiving the interactive command sent by the button 120, the control device 200 outputs dust collection control command and dust scraping control command to control the dust extraction device 400 and the drive device 300 to work, respectively.
[0183] Understandably, in manual mode, after connecting the cleaning device 20 to the base station 10, users can control the operation of the base station 10 according to their own needs. For example, when there is little debris inside the cleaning device 20, cleaning can be temporarily suspended to reduce power consumption. By configuring different dust collection modes, different user needs can be met, application scenarios can be more diversified, and the user experience can be improved.
[0184] In some embodiments, the dust collection mode of base station 10 can be switched by a user pressing button 120. The control method further includes: S10, in response to button 120 being continuously triggered for a fifth duration, controlling base station 10 to switch dust collection modes.
[0185] The control of base station 10 to switch dust collection modes includes: confirming that base station 10 is in automatic mode, and then controlling base station 10 to switch to manual mode. Alternatively, confirming that base station 10 is in manual mode, and then controlling base station 10 to switch to automatic mode.
[0186] For example, the control device 200 monitors the trigger time of button 120, and the trigger time is reset after button 120 is triggered. In response to the trigger time reaching a fifth duration, the control device 200 controls the base station 10 to switch the current dust collection mode. If the base station 10 is currently in automatic mode, the control device 200 controls the base station 10 to switch to manual mode; if the base station 10 is currently in manual mode, the control device 200 controls the base station 10 to switch to automatic mode. For example, the fifth duration is 3 seconds, 5 seconds, or 10 seconds.
[0187] It is understood that the button 120 disclosed herein can not only realize the start-up control of the base station 10 in manual mode, but also realize the manual switching of the dust collection mode of the base station 10, so that multiple functions can be integrated on the same button 120, simplifying hardware design and reducing production costs.
[0188] In some embodiments, the base station 10 is provided with a first battery 900A, and the cleaning device 20 is provided with a second battery 900B. The control method further includes the following steps.
[0189] S11. When the first charging terminal 1062 and the second charging terminal 6012 are confirmed to be connected, control the charging of the second battery 900B.
[0190] In response to confirming the connection between the first charging terminal 1062 and the second charging terminal 6012, the control device 200 charges the second battery 900B through the first charging terminal 1062 and the second charging terminal 6012. Specifically, the control device 200 transmits electrical energy to the second battery 900B using mains power as the power supply source through the charging management system.
[0191] It is understood that, upon confirming the connection between the first charging terminal 1062 and the second charging terminal 6012, the cleaning device 20 can be considered to have been connected to the base station 10 and a circuit loop has been established. The control device 200 prioritizes charging the second battery 900B, rather than the first battery 900A, which serves as a backup battery, to ensure the cleaning device 20's battery life.
[0192] S12. When it is confirmed that the base station 10 meets the preset self-charging conditions, control the charging of the first battery 900A.
[0193] The self-charging conditions include: confirming that the second battery 900B has completed charging, or confirming that the first charging terminal 1062 and the second charging terminal 6012 are not connected. That is, when it is confirmed that the second battery 900B has completed charging, the system controls the charging of the first battery 900A; or, when it is confirmed that the first charging terminal 1062 and the second charging terminal 6012 are not connected, the system controls the charging of the first battery 900A.
[0194] Step S12 can be either step S121 or S122.
[0195] S121. After confirming that the second battery 900B has finished charging, control the charging of the first battery 900A.
[0196] Specifically, the control device 200 collects the power data of the second battery 900B. Upon reaching a power threshold, it confirms that the second battery 900B is fully charged, and then the control device 200 charges the first battery 900A. Specifically, the control device 200 uses a charging management system to transmit power to the first battery 900A from mains electricity.
[0197] Understandably, once it is confirmed that the second battery 900B has been fully charged, the cleaning device 20's power supply has been replenished, and the control device 200 can charge the first battery 900A, which serves as a backup battery, until the first battery 900A is fully charged.
[0198] S122. When it is confirmed that the first charging terminal 1062 and the second charging terminal 6012 are not connected, control the charging of the first battery 900A.
[0199] In response to confirming that the first charging terminal 1062 and the second charging terminal 6012 are not connected, the control device 200 charges the first battery 900A until the first battery 900A is fully charged.
[0200] Understandably, if it is confirmed that the first charging terminal 1062 and the second charging terminal 6012 are not connected, the control device 200 charges the first battery 900A to ensure that the first battery 900A has sufficient power to be used as a backup battery device.
[0201] In some embodiments, after step S03, the control method further includes: controlling the sterilization device 111 to stop working when at least one of the following conditions is confirmed: confirming that the dust collection container 500 is not in place; confirming that the cover 108 is in the open state; confirming that the first communication terminal 1061 and the second communication terminal 6011 are not electrically connected; and confirming that the first charging terminal 1062 and the second charging terminal 6012 are not electrically connected.
[0202] In this embodiment, in response to the base station 10 meeting preset sterilization abnormal conditions, the control device 200 sends a sterilization stop command, and the sterilization device 111 stops operating in response to the sterilization stop command. In the example of this disclosure, the sterilization abnormal conditions include: confirming that the dust collection container 500 is not in place, or confirming that the cover 108 is in an open state, or confirming that the first communication terminal 1061 and the second communication terminal 6011 are not electrically connected, or confirming that the first charging terminal 1062 and the second charging terminal 6012 are not electrically connected. In other embodiments, the sterilization abnormal conditions can be increased, decreased, or adjusted according to actual needs.
[0203] Specifically, when the control device 200 does not receive a trigger signal from the first detection device 116, the control device 200 confirms that the dust collection container 500 is not in place. When it does not receive a trigger signal from the second detection device 117, the control device 200 confirms that the cover 108 is open. When no communication link is detected between the first communication terminal 1061 and the second communication terminal 6011, the control device 200 confirms that the first communication terminal 1061 and the second communication terminal 6011 are not electrically connected. When no current loop is detected between the first charging terminal 1062 and the second charging terminal 6012, the control device 200 confirms that the first charging terminal 1062 and the second charging terminal 6012 are not electrically connected.
[0204] Thus, during the operation of the sterilization device 111, the control device 200 monitors in real time whether the dust collection container 500 is in place, whether the cover 108 is closed, and whether the cleaning equipment 20 is correctly connected to the base station 10. When any of the above situations occur, it is considered that gaps may occur near the dust collection container 500, gaps may occur between the cover 108 and the base station body 100, and gaps may occur between the dust cup 701 and the dust collection port 101. The light from the sterilization device 111 may leak out through the above-mentioned gaps, causing burns to the human body and other objects. By immediately interrupting the operation of the sterilization device 111, the safety hazard of light leakage can be effectively reduced, and it also helps the user to make timely repairs.
[0205] In some embodiments, the indicator light assembly 104 on the base station body 100 has multiple light-emitting modes. There is a preset correspondence between the light-emitting modes and the working state of the base station 10. When the control device 200 confirms that the base station 10 is currently in a certain working state, the control device 200 controls the indicator light assembly 104 to emit light in the corresponding light-emitting mode.
[0206] The operating status of base station 10 includes, but is not limited to, the current dust collection mode of base station 10, the operating status of dust extraction device 400, the operating status of sterilization device 111, the charging status of first battery 900A or second battery 900B, and the fault status of base station 10. Different lighting modes of indicator light assembly 104 can represent different operating statuses of base station 10, allowing users to intuitively understand the current operating status of base station 10.
[0207] In the examples of this disclosure, the multiple colors of the indicator light assembly 104 may include: a first color (such as red), a second color (such as orange), a third color (such as yellow-green), a fourth color (such as green), a fifth color (such as white), and a sixth color (such as purple). The multiple illumination states of the indicator light assembly 104 may include: constant light and breathing flashing. In other embodiments, the multiple colors and illumination states of the indicator light assembly 104 may be adjusted as needed, and this disclosure does not impose any limitations on this.
[0208] Specifically, the control method further includes: the control device 200 confirms the current working state of the base station 10, and outputs a corresponding control signal to the indicator light assembly 104 according to the light emission mode corresponding to the working state, so that the indicator light assembly 104 emits light in the corresponding light emission mode.
[0209] In some embodiments, the control method further includes at least one of the following: S13. When the cleaning equipment 20 is connected to the base station 10, the base station 10 is confirmed to be in automatic mode, and the control indicator assembly 104 is kept on in the first color.
[0210] In response to the cleaning device 20 connecting to the base station 10 and confirming that the base station 10 is in automatic mode, the control device 200 confirms that the base station 10 is currently in the first working state and outputs a first control signal according to the corresponding light-emitting mode. The indicator light assembly 104 responds to the first control signal and stays on in the first color.
[0211] S14. When the cleaning equipment 20 is connected to the base station 10, confirm that the base station 10 is in automatic mode, confirm that the dust extraction device 400 has started working, and control the indicator light assembly 104 to be constantly lit in the first color or to flash in a breathing pattern.
[0212] In this embodiment, when base station 10 is in automatic mode, control device 200 monitors the operating status of dust extraction device 400. When dust extraction device 400 is operating normally, control device 200 confirms that base station 10 is currently in a second operating state and outputs a second control signal according to the corresponding illumination mode. Indicator light assembly 104 responds to the second control signal by either remaining constantly lit in a first color or flashing in a breathing pattern. In the example of this disclosure, indicator light assembly 104 is configured to remain constantly lit in the first color in response to the second control signal. In other embodiments, indicator light assembly 104 may also be configured to flash in a breathing pattern in response to the second control signal.
[0213] S15. When the cleaning equipment 20 is connected to the base station 10, confirm that the base station 10 is in automatic mode, confirm that the dust extraction device 400 stops working, and control the indicator light assembly 104 to stay on in the first color.
[0214] When the base station 10 is in automatic mode and the dust extraction device 400 stops working, the control device 200 confirms that the base station 10 is currently in the third working state and outputs a third control signal according to the corresponding light-emitting mode. The indicator light assembly 104 responds to the third control signal and stays on in the first color.
[0215] Thus, the indicator light assembly 104 can display various working states in automatic mode through the first color, so that users can quickly identify the progress of dust collection work of base station 10 in automatic mode.
[0216] In some embodiments, the control method further includes the following steps.
[0217] S16. When the cleaning equipment 20 is connected to the base station 10, confirm that the base station 10 is in manual mode and control the indicator light assembly 104 to stay on in the second color.
[0218] In response to the cleaning device 20 connecting to the base station 10 and confirming that the base station 10 is in manual mode, the control device 200 confirms that the base station 10 is currently in the fourth working state and outputs a fourth control signal according to the corresponding light-emitting mode. The indicator light assembly 104 responds to the fourth control signal and stays on in the second color.
[0219] S17. When the cleaning equipment 20 is connected to the base station 10, confirm that the base station 10 is in manual mode, confirm that the dust extraction device 400 has started working, and control the indicator light assembly 104 to be constantly lit in the second color or to flash in a breathing pattern.
[0220] In the case where base station 10 is in manual mode, control device 200 monitors the operating status of dust extraction device 400. When dust extraction device 400 is operating normally, control device 200 confirms that base station 10 is currently in the fifth operating state and outputs a fifth control signal according to the corresponding illumination mode. Indicator light assembly 104 responds to the fifth control signal by either being constantly lit in the second color or flashing in a breathing pattern. In the example of this disclosure, indicator light assembly 104 is configured to be constantly lit in the second color in response to the fifth control signal. In other embodiments, indicator light assembly 104 may also be configured to flash in the second color in response to the fifth control signal.
[0221] S18. When the cleaning equipment 20 is connected to the base station 10, confirm that the base station 10 is in manual mode, confirm that the dust extraction device 400 stops working, and control the indicator light assembly 104 to stay on in the second color.
[0222] When the base station 10 is in manual mode and the dust extraction device 400 stops working, the control device 200 confirms that the base station 10 is currently in the sixth working state and outputs the sixth control signal according to the corresponding light-emitting mode. The indicator light assembly 104 responds to the sixth control signal and stays on in the second color.
[0223] Thus, the indicator light assembly 104 can display various operating states in manual mode using a second color, allowing users to quickly identify the progress of dust collection in automatic mode. Furthermore, the difference between the first and second colors allows users to quickly distinguish between automatic and manual modes of the base station 10.
[0224] In some embodiments, the control method further includes: S19, after confirming that the dust extraction device 400 has finished operating, controlling the indicator light assembly 104 to turn off or remain constantly lit in a third color or flash in a breathing pattern. The brightness of the third color is lower than the brightness of the first color, and / or the brightness of the third color is lower than the brightness of the second color.
[0225] The control device 200 monitors the operating status of the dust extraction device 400 and the sterilization device 111. After confirming that the dust extraction device 400 has stopped working, the sterilization device 111 starts working, confirms that the base station 10 is currently in the seventh operating state, and outputs a seventh control signal according to the corresponding light emission mode. The indicator light assembly 104 responds to the seventh control signal by either remaining constantly lit in a third color or flashing in a breathing pattern. In the example of this disclosure, the indicator light assembly 104 is configured to remain constantly lit in a third color in response to the seventh control signal. In other embodiments, the indicator light assembly 104 may also be configured to flash in a breathing pattern in response to the seventh control signal.
[0226] Thus, different colors are used to represent the two states of base station 10 before and after the dust collection work is completed, so that users can quickly identify the working progress of dust extraction device 400 and sterilization device 111. Furthermore, dust collection is of higher importance and has a shorter single-cycle duration, while sterilization has a relatively longer single-cycle duration. The brightness difference between the third color and the first or second color makes the lighting effect of dust collection more noticeable than that of sterilization. On the one hand, the brighter first or second color can illuminate for a short time to highlight the progress of dust collection; on the other hand, the lower brightness of the third color can illuminate for a longer period, reducing light pollution caused by strong light. Alternatively, the indicator light assembly 104 can be directly turned off during sterilization to avoid affecting users, especially at night.
[0227] It is understood that, depending on whether base station 10 is currently in automatic or manual mode, the control method can correspondingly execute steps S13-S15; or execute steps S16-S18. Step S19 can be executed in either step S15 or step S18, and the three do not conflict with each other.
[0228] In some embodiments, a fourth detection device 119 is provided inside the base station body 100. The fourth detection device 119 is used to detect the dust fullness of the dust collection container 500. The dust fullness includes being dust full and not dust full.
[0229] The control method also includes: S20, confirming that the dust collection container 500 is full of dust, and controlling the indicator light assembly 104 to be constantly lit in the fourth color or to flash in a breathing pattern.
[0230] In this embodiment, the control device 200 acquires the detection data from the fourth detection device 119 and assesses the amount of garbage accumulated in the dust collection container 500 based on the detection data to confirm whether the dust collection container 500 is full. In response to confirming that the dust collection container 500 is full, the control device 200 confirms that the base station 10 is currently in the eighth operating state and outputs an eighth control signal according to the corresponding illumination mode. The indicator light assembly 104 responds to the eighth control signal by either remaining constantly lit in the fourth color or flashing in a breathing pattern. In the example of this disclosure, the indicator light assembly 104 is configured to remain constantly lit in the fourth color in response to the eighth control signal. In other embodiments, the indicator light assembly 104 may also be configured to flash in a breathing pattern in response to the eighth control signal.
[0231] Thus, the indicator light assembly 104 can use a fourth color to indicate that the dust collection container 500 has reached the dust full state, reminding the user to replace or clean the dust collection vent in time to maintain the normal operation of the base station 10.
[0232] In some embodiments, the control method further includes: S21, confirming that the base station 10 has malfunctioned, and controlling the indicator light assembly 104 to be constantly lit in a fifth color or to flash in a breathing pattern.
[0233] The malfunction includes at least one of the following: confirming that the dust collection container 500 is not in place; confirming that the lid 704 of the dust cup 701 is not open; confirming that the garbage in the dust cup 701 cannot be discharged during the operation of the dust extraction device 400; and confirming that the actuating element 802 cannot move or the scraping element 801 cannot reciprocate during the operation of the drive device 300.
[0234] In this embodiment, in response to the base station 10 meeting preset equipment fault conditions, the control device 200 confirms that the base station 10 is currently in the ninth operating state and outputs a ninth control signal according to the corresponding light emission mode. The indicator light assembly 104 responds to the ninth control signal by either being constantly lit in the fifth color or flashing in a breathing pattern. In the example of this disclosure, the indicator light assembly 104 is configured to be constantly lit in the fifth color in response to the ninth control signal. In other embodiments, the indicator light assembly 104 may also be configured to flash in the fifth color in response to the ninth control signal.
[0235] In the examples disclosed herein, equipment failure conditions include: confirming that the dust collection container 500 is not in place; confirming that the lid 704 of the dust cup 701 is not open; confirming that during the operation of the dust extraction device 400, the debris in the dust cup 701 cannot be discharged; or confirming that during the operation of the drive device 300, the actuating member 802 cannot move or the scraping member 801 cannot reciprocate. In other embodiments, equipment failure conditions may be added, reduced, or adjusted according to actual needs.
[0236] Specifically, when the control device 200 does not receive a trigger signal from the first detection device 116, the control device 200 confirms that the dust collection container 500 is not in place. When no communication link is detected between the first communication terminal 1061 and the second communication terminal 6011, or no current loop is detected between the first charging terminal 1062 and the second charging terminal 6012, the control device 200 confirms that the lid 704 of the dust cup 701 is not open.
[0237] During the operation of the dust extraction device 400, the control device 200 determines, based on the detection data from the fourth detection device 119, that if the amount of garbage accumulated in the dust collection container 500 does not change within a preset monitoring time, the garbage in the dust cup 701 cannot be discharged.
[0238] During the operation of the drive device 300, the control device 200 determines, based on the transmission and reception of the trigger signal from the third detection device 118, that if the scraping member 801 fails to reach the first or second position within the preset dwell time, the control device 200 confirms that the actuating member 802 cannot move or the scraping member 801 cannot reciprocate.
[0239] Thus, during the operation of base station 10, the control device 200 monitors whether base station 10 meets any of the above-mentioned equipment fault conditions in real time to determine whether base station 10 has malfunctioned. After a fault occurs, the control indicator assembly 104 is kept on in the fifth color or flashes in a breathing pattern to remind the user to repair the equipment fault in a timely manner.
[0240] In some embodiments, the cleaning device 20 further includes at least one of an indicator light 606 and a display screen 607, which are disposed on the main body 600.
[0241] When the main body 600 is equipped with an indicator light 606, the control method further includes: S22, during the charging process of the second battery 900B, controlling the indicator light 606 to be constantly lit in the sixth color or to flash in a breathing pattern.
[0242] Thus, the user can determine the charging status of the cleaning device 20 by observing the illumination state of the indicator light 606. In the example of this disclosure, the indicator light 606 is configured to remain constantly lit in the sixth color while the second battery 900B is charging. In other embodiments, the indicator light 606 may also be configured to blink in the sixth color while the second battery 900B is charging.
[0243] In the example disclosed herein, the indicator light 606 can be controlled by a control module built into the cleaning device 20. Specifically, the control module acquires the battery parameters of the second battery 900B and monitors the charging state of the second battery 900B. When the second battery 900B is charging, the control module outputs a light-emitting control signal to the indicator light 606, and the indicator light 606 responds to the light-emitting control signal by either remaining constantly lit in a sixth color or flashing in a breathing pattern.
[0244] In other embodiments, the indicator light 606 can also be controlled by the control device 200. For example, the control device 200 collects the battery parameters of the second battery 900B. When the control device 200 detects that the base station 10 is charging the second battery 900B, the control device 200 confirms that the base station 10 is currently in the tenth working state, and outputs a tenth control signal to the indicator light 606 according to the corresponding light emission mode. The indicator light 606 responds to the tenth control signal by being constantly lit in the sixth color or by breathing flashing.
[0245] Specifically, the light emission mode of the indicator light 606 is not limited to a single color flashing change. For example, the indicator light 606 can be constantly lit in a sixth color or flashing in a breathing pattern during the charging process, and change different brightness or flashing changes at different charging stages (such as when the power reaches 25% or 50%), and automatically turn off after charging is completed. This disclosure does not limit this.
[0246] When the main body 600 is equipped with a display screen 607, the control method further includes: S23, controlling the display screen 607 to show the power level of the second battery 900B. Thus, the user can check the current power level of the cleaning device 20 through the display screen 607 and charge the cleaning device 20 in a timely manner when the power is low.
[0247] In the example disclosed herein, the indicator light 606 can be controlled by a control module built into the cleaning device 20. Specifically, the control module acquires the battery parameters of the second battery 900B and monitors the power level of the second battery 900B. Based on the power level of the second battery 900B, the control module outputs a display control signal to the display screen 607, and the display screen 607 responds to the display control signal to display the corresponding power level.
[0248] In other embodiments, the display screen 607 may also be controlled by a control module. For example, the control device 200 collects the battery parameters of the second battery 900B and outputs an eleventh control signal to the display screen 607 according to the power level of the second battery 900B. The display screen 607 responds to the eleventh control signal to display the corresponding power level.
[0249] Specifically, the display screen 607 can display various graphic icons to indicate the device status of the cleaning device 20. The device status displayed on the display screen 607 includes, but is not limited to: device power-on, cleaning mode (such as intelligent mode, boost mode), detected dirt level (different dirt levels can be represented by different colors), battery level (different battery levels can be represented by different numbers of battery cells), and device malfunction. It is understood that the specific display method of the display screen 607 can be configured according to actual needs, and this disclosure does not impose any limitations on it.
