[0063] In related technologies, when cleaning equipment uses cleaning components (e.g., rotary cleaning components, roller cleaning components) to clean the surface to be cleaned, a water pump supplies liquid to the mopping parts of the cleaning components to keep them moist, which is beneficial for removing stubborn dirt from the surface and improving cleaning efficiency. However, currently, the water pump and cleaning components of cleaning equipment are arranged independently, occupying a large space and hindering the arrangement of other functional components inside the cleaning equipment.

[0064] An embodiment of the first aspect of this application provides a cleaning component. Please refer to... Figures 1 to 4 The cleaning assembly 10 includes a fixed cylinder 11, a rotating cylinder 12, a wiping element 13, a squeezing element 14, and a liquid supply pipe 15. The fixed cylinder 11 is fixedly connected to the main body of the equipment; the rotating cylinder 12 is rotatable relative to the fixed cylinder 11; the wiping element 13 is connected to the rotating cylinder 12; the squeezing element 14 is disposed between the fixed cylinder 11 and the rotating cylinder 12, and connected to the rotating cylinder 12; the liquid supply pipe 15 includes a flexible pipe section 151 located between the fixed cylinder 11 and the rotating cylinder 12. The squeezing element 14 squeezes the flexible pipe section 151 in response to the rotation of the rotating cylinder 12 relative to the fixed cylinder 11, so that the liquid supply pipe 15 can deliver cleaning liquid.

[0065] The fixed cylinder 11 is used to fix it to the main body of the equipment, that is, the fixed cylinder 11 is fixed relative to the main body of the equipment. It can be understood that the fixed cylinder 11 can be directly fixed to the main body of the equipment or indirectly fixed to the main body of the equipment.

[0066] The rotating cylinder 12 can rotate relative to the fixed cylinder 11, that is, the rotating cylinder 12 can rotate relative to the main body of the equipment. Understandably, when the cleaning equipment is working, the rotation axis of the rotating cylinder 12 can extend in a vertical or near-vertical direction. For example, the cleaning component 10 is a rotary cleaning component, and the rotating cylinder 12 is a lifting cylinder; or, the rotation axis of the rotating cylinder 12 can also extend in a horizontal or near-horizontal direction. For example, the cleaning component 10 is a roller cleaning component, and the rotating cylinder 12 is a roller.

[0067] The wiping component 13 is connected to the rotating cylinder 12. Understandably, the wiping component 13 can be non-detachably connected to the rotating cylinder 12, or the wiping component 13 can be detachably connected to the rotating cylinder 12.

[0068] When the wiping component 13 is not detachably connected to the rotating cylinder 12, the wiping component 13 can be connected to the rotating cylinder 12 by means of welding, bonding or other methods.

[0069] When the wiping component 13 is detachably connected to the rotating cylinder 12, the wiping component 13 can be connected to the rotating cylinder 12 by means of magnetic attraction, snap-fit, screw connection, etc. For example, the rotating cylinder 12 has a mounting hole 121, a first magnetic component 122 is provided in the mounting hole 121, and a second magnetic component 133 is provided on the wiping component 13. The wiping component 13 is magnetically connected to the rotating cylinder 12 through the cooperation of the first magnetic component 122 and the second magnetic component 133, wherein at least one of the first magnetic component 122 and the second magnetic component 133 is a magnet.

[0070] The extrusion body 14 is disposed between the fixed cylinder 11 and the rotating cylinder 12, and is connected to the rotating cylinder 12. Understandably, when the fixed cylinder 11 is fitted onto the outside of the rotating cylinder 12, the extrusion body 14 is connected to the outer wall surface of the rotating cylinder 12; when the rotating cylinder 12 is fitted onto the outside of the fixed cylinder 11, the extrusion body 14 is connected to the inner wall surface of the rotating cylinder 12. The fixed cylinder 11 and the rotating cylinder 12 are coaxially arranged.

[0071] The supply pipe 15 includes a flexible pipe section 151 located between the fixed cylinder 11 and the rotating cylinder 12. Understandably, the supply pipe 15 may be entirely flexible; alternatively, in addition to the flexible pipe section 151, the supply pipe 15 may also include a rigid pipe section connected to the flexible pipe section 151, the rigid pipe section being used to input or output cleaning liquid to the flexible pipe section 151. The flexible pipe section 151 is deformable when compressed by the extrusion body 14, allowing the liquid within the flexible pipe section 151 to flow in the direction of rotation of the rotating cylinder 12.

[0072] The flexible tube segment 151 has moderate hardness; too high hardness will lead to excessive load, while too low hardness will lead to adhesion. The thickness of the flexible tube segment 151 is reasonably designed; too thick will lead to excessive liquid output, while too thin will lead to adhesion after placement.

[0073] The extrusion body 14 extrudes the flexible tube segment 151 in response to the rotation of the rotating cylinder 12 relative to the fixed cylinder 11, thereby enabling the supply pipe 15 to deliver clean liquid and realizing the function of a peristaltic pump. Understandably, when the extrusion body 14 extrudes the flexible tube segment 151 in response to the rotation of the rotating cylinder 12 relative to the fixed cylinder 11 along a first direction X, the liquid within the flexible tube segment 151 can flow along the first direction X; when the extrusion body 14 extrudes the flexible tube segment 151 in response to the rotation of the rotating cylinder 12 relative to the fixed cylinder 11 along a second direction Y, the liquid within the flexible tube segment 151 can flow along the second direction Y. The first direction X and the second direction Y are opposite.

[0074] The cleaning liquid can be water or a cleaning solution with added detergent.

[0075] The beneficial effects of the cleaning assembly 10 provided in this application embodiment are as follows: The cleaning assembly 10 of this application includes a fixed cylinder 11, a rotating cylinder 12, a wiping component 13, a squeezing body 14, and a liquid supply pipe 15. Since the wiping component 13 is connected to the rotating cylinder 12, when the fixed cylinder 11 is fixedly connected to the main body of the equipment, the wiping component 13 can be driven to rise or rotate by rotating the rotating cylinder 12 relative to the fixed cylinder 11. At the same time, the flexible pipe section 151 of the squeezing body 14 and the liquid supply pipe 15 is disposed between the fixed cylinder 11 and the rotating cylinder 12. The squeezing body 14 can squeeze the flexible pipe section 151 in response to the rotation of the rotating cylinder 12 relative to the fixed cylinder 11, so that the liquid supply pipe 15 can transmit cleaning liquid to ensure that the wiping component 13 is in a wet state, that is, the water pump is eliminated. Since the flexible pipe section 151 of the extrusion body 14 and the liquid supply pipe 15 is located between the fixed cylinder 11 and the rotating cylinder 12, it will not occupy too much space. Therefore, it solves the problem that it is difficult to arrange functional components in a limited space for cleaning equipment.

[0076] Please refer to Figure 3 In some embodiments, the flexible tube segment 151 extends circumferentially along the fixed cylinder 11. This can be understood as the angle between the plane containing the flexible tube segment 151 and the central axis of the fixed cylinder 11 being greater than 45° and less than or equal to 90°. For example, the angle between the plane containing the flexible tube segment 151 and the central axis of the fixed cylinder 11 is 90° or close to 90°, that is, the plane containing the flexible tube segment 151 is perpendicular to or nearly perpendicular to the central axis of the fixed cylinder 11.

[0077] In some embodiments, the flexible tube segment 151 extends along the axial direction of the fixed cylinder 11. This can be understood as the plane containing the flexible tube segment 151 having an angle greater than 0° and less than 45° with the central axis of the fixed cylinder 11.

[0078] In some other embodiments, the plane containing the flexible tube segment 151 may form an angle of 45° with the central axis of the fixed cylinder 11.

[0079] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the fixed cylinder 11 is provided with a limiting groove 111, and the flexible tube section 151 is located in the limiting groove 111.

[0080] Understandably, when the fixed cylinder 11 is sleeved on the outside of the rotating cylinder 12, the limiting groove 111 is provided on the inner wall surface of the fixed cylinder 11; when the rotating cylinder 12 is sleeved on the outside of the fixed cylinder 11, the limiting groove 111 is provided on the outer wall surface of the fixed cylinder 11.

[0081] The flexible tube segment 151 is confined within the limiting groove 111, and the extension direction of the flexible tube segment 151 is consistent with the extension direction of the limiting groove 111. Understandably, when the limiting groove 111 extends circumferentially along the fixed cylinder 11, the flexible tube segment 151 extends circumferentially along the fixed cylinder 11; when the limiting groove 111 extends axially along the fixed cylinder 11, the flexible tube segment 151 extends axially along the fixed cylinder 11.

[0082] It is understood that the limiting groove 111 can be formed by the recess of the wall surface of the fixed cylinder 11; or, the wall surface of the fixed cylinder 11 is provided with two parallel ribs, and the two ribs and the wall surface of the fixed cylinder 11 form the limiting groove 111.

[0083] Based on the above technical solution, the flexible pipe section 151 is located in the limiting groove 111. The limiting groove 111 can limit the flexible pipe section 151, preventing it from moving when squeezed by the extrusion body 14, thereby improving the stability of the clean liquid transmission.

[0084] In other embodiments, the limiting groove 111 may not be provided, and the flexible tube segment 151 may be bonded to the wall of the fixed cylinder 11.

[0085] In some embodiments, the extrusion body 14 is a rolling body rotatably connected to the rotating cylinder 12.

[0086] It can be understood that when the fixed cylinder 11 is fitted on the outside of the rotating cylinder 12, the rolling element is rotatably connected to the outer wall surface of the rotating cylinder 12; when the rotating cylinder 12 is fitted on the outside of the fixed cylinder 11, the rolling element is rotatably connected to the inner wall surface of the rotating cylinder 12.

[0087] It is understood that a recess can be provided on the wall surface of the rotating cylinder 12, and the extrusion body 14 can be rotatably connected to the recess, with a portion of the extrusion body 14 protruding from the wall surface of the rotating cylinder 12 for extruding the flexible tube segment 151; or, a support can be provided on the wall surface of the rotating cylinder 12, and the extrusion body 14 can be rotatably connected to the support. For example, the support includes a first support and a second support, and the two ends of the extrusion body 14 are rotatably connected to the first support and the second support, respectively.

[0088] For example, the rolling element is a roller or a cylinder.

[0089] Based on the above technical solution, when the extrusion body 14 compresses the flexible tube segment 151 in response to the rotation of the rotating cylinder 12 relative to the fixed cylinder 11, the friction between the extrusion body 14 and the flexible tube segment 151 can be reduced, making the flexible tube segment 151 less prone to damage when compressed by the extrusion body 14, and extending the service life of the flexible tube segment 151.

[0090] In some embodiments, the extrusion body 14 may be integrally formed with the rotating cylinder 12; or, the extrusion body 14 may be fixed to the rotating cylinder 12 by means of snap-fitting, bonding, fastener connection, etc.

[0091] Please refer to Figure 3 In some embodiments, multiple extrusion bodies 14 are arranged at circumferential intervals along the rotating cylinder 12.

[0092] Understandably, the extrusion bodies 14 can be arranged in two, three, four, or five or more at intervals along the circumference of the rotating cylinder 12.

[0093] For example, a plurality of extrusion bodies 14 are arranged at uniform intervals along the circumference of the rotating cylinder 12.

[0094] Based on the above technical solution, by arranging multiple extrusion bodies 14 at intervals along the circumference of the rotating cylinder 12, the continuity of the flexible pipe section 151 in conveying clean liquid is improved.

[0095] In some embodiments, one extrusion body 14 may also be provided.

[0096] Please refer to Figure 3 In some embodiments, multiple liquid supply pipes 15 are provided, and the flexible pipe segments 151 of the multiple liquid supply pipes 15 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the fixed cylinder 11.

[0097] It is understood that two, three, four or more liquid supply pipes 15 can be provided, wherein each liquid supply pipe 15 includes a flexible pipe segment 151, that is, two, three, four or more flexible pipe segments 151 can be provided. Taking two liquid supply pipes 15 as an example, there are two flexible pipe segments 151, and the two flexible pipe segments 151 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the fixed cylinder 11. For example, each flexible pipe segment 151 is approximately half a circumference around the fixed cylinder 11.

[0098] When a limiting groove 111 is provided on the wall of the fixed cylinder 11, it can be understood that multiple limiting grooves 111 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the fixed cylinder 11, and multiple limiting grooves 111 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with multiple flexible pipe segments 151; or, one limiting groove 111 is provided, and multiple flexible pipe segments 151 are all located in the limiting groove 111. For example, the limiting groove 111 is an annular groove or a C-shaped groove.

[0099] Based on the above technical solution, when the extrusion body 14 responds to the rotation of the rotating cylinder 12 relative to the fixed cylinder 11, multiple flexible tube segments 151 can be extruded, so that multiple liquid supply tubes 15 can transmit cleaning liquid to the wiping component 13, which is beneficial to improve the uniformity of water content in the wiping component 13.

[0100] Please refer to Figure 4 In some embodiments, a liquid supply pipe 15 is provided, and correspondingly, a flexible pipe segment 151 is provided. Exemplarily, the flexible pipe segment 151 can wrap around the fixed cylinder 11 for nearly one revolution.

[0101] When a limiting groove 111 is provided on the wall surface of the fixed cylinder 11, one limiting groove 111 is provided, and the flexible tube section 151 is located in the limiting groove 111. For example, the limiting groove 111 is an annular groove or a C-shaped groove.

[0102] Please refer to Figure 5 The liquid supply pipe 15 is provided with multiple flexible pipe segments 151, which are arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the fixed cylinder 11. That is, the multiple flexible pipe segments 151 are arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the fixed cylinder 11. For example, each flexible pipe segment 151 can wrap around the fixed cylinder 11 for nearly one revolution.

[0103] Understandably, when the limiting groove 111 is provided on the wall of the fixed cylinder 11, multiple limiting grooves 111 are arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the fixed cylinder 11, and multiple limiting grooves 111 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with multiple flexible pipe sections 151.

The squeezing body 14, in response to the rotation of the rotating cylinder 12 relative to the fixed cylinder 11 along a second direction Y, squeezes the flexible pipe section 151 to transfer the cleaning liquid in the supply pipe 15 to the reservoir.

[0105] Please refer to Figure 3 In some embodiments, the liquid supply tube 15 further includes a first outlet tube section 152 and a second outlet tube section 153, and a flexible tube section 151 is connected between the first outlet tube section 152 and the second outlet tube section 153; the fixed cylinder 11 is provided with a first through hole 112 and a second through hole 113 extending radially along the fixed cylinder 11, the first outlet tube section 152 passes through the first through hole 112, and the second outlet tube section 153 passes through the second through hole 113.

[0106] The first outlet pipe section 152 is connected to the liquid storage tank, and the second outlet pipe section 153 is used to supply cleaning liquid to the mopping component 13.

[0107] When multiple flexible pipe sections 151 are provided, correspondingly, multiple first outlet pipe sections 152 and multiple second outlet pipe sections 153 are provided. Among them, multiple first outlet pipe sections 152 are connected to the liquid storage tank, and multiple second outlet pipe sections 153 are used to supply liquid to the dragging component 13.

[0108] Taking two flexible pipe sections 151 as an example, there are two first outlet pipe sections 152 and two second outlet pipe sections 153. It can be understood that there are two first through holes 112 and two second through holes 113. The two first through holes 112 allow two first outlet pipe sections 152 to pass through, and the two second through holes 113 allow two second outlet pipe sections 153 to pass through. Alternatively, there is one first through hole 112 and one second through hole 113. One first outlet pipe section 152 and one second outlet pipe section 153 pass through the first through hole 112, and the other first outlet pipe section 152 and the other second outlet pipe section 153 pass through the second through hole 113.

[0109] In other embodiments, please refer to Figure 6The first lead-out pipe section 152 and the second lead-out pipe section 153 are located between the fixed cylinder 11 and the rotating cylinder 12, and the first lead-out pipe section 152 and the second lead-out pipe section 153 extend along the axial direction of the fixed cylinder 11, that is, the first lead-out pipe section 152 and the second lead-out pipe section 153 are led out from the end of the fixed cylinder 11. It can be understood that the first lead-out pipe section 152 and the second lead-out pipe section 153 can be led out from the same end of the fixed cylinder 11; or, the first lead-out pipe section 152 and the second lead-out pipe section 153 can be led out from the two ends of the fixed cylinder 11 respectively.

[0110] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the mopping component 13 is a disc mop 131, the rotating cylinder 12 is a lifting cylinder and is located inside the fixed cylinder 11, and the squeezing body 14 is connected to the outer wall surface of the rotating cylinder 12.

[0111] Understandably, the cleaning component 10 is a rotary cleaning component.

[0112] The cleaning assembly 10 has a lifting mode and a cleaning mode. The cleaning assembly 10 also includes a drive structure and an intermediate cylinder 19. The drive structure can drive the rotating cylinder 12 to rotate, and the rotating cylinder 12 cooperates with the intermediate cylinder 19. In the lifting mode, the rotating cylinder 12 rotates relative to the intermediate cylinder 19 to raise and lower the rotating cylinder 12. In the cleaning mode, the intermediate cylinder 19 limits the rotating cylinder 12 in the lifting direction, and the intermediate cylinder 19 rotates with the rotating cylinder 12.

[0113] For example, the drive structure includes a drive motor 16, a transmission mechanism, and a transmission cylinder 18. The drive motor 16 drives the transmission cylinder 18 to rotate in a first direction X or a second direction Y through the transmission mechanism. The transmission cylinder 18 drives the rotating cylinder 12 to rotate synchronously through an anti-rotation structure. Since a spiral structure is provided between the intermediate cylinder 19 and the rotating cylinder 12, the rotating cylinder 12 can move along its own axial direction while rotating, thereby realizing the lifting and lowering of the rotating cylinder 12, which in turn drives the disc mop 131 to lift and lower. Specifically, when the drive motor 16 drives the transmission cylinder 18 to rotate in the first direction X through the transmission mechanism, the rotating cylinder 12 descends, that is, the cleaning liquid in the liquid supply pipe 15 is transferred to the disc mop 131; when the drive motor 16 drives the transmission cylinder 18 to rotate in the second direction Y through the transmission mechanism, the rotating cylinder 12 rises, that is, the cleaning liquid in the liquid supply pipe 15 is transferred to the liquid storage tank.

[0114] For example, the transmission mechanism can be a gear mechanism.

[0115] For example, the anti-rotation structure includes an anti-rotation protrusion and an anti-rotation groove. The anti-rotation groove extends axially along the rotating cylinder 12, and the anti-rotation protrusion can slide within the anti-rotation groove. Understandably, the anti-rotation protrusion can be a block-shaped structure or a strip-shaped structure extending axially along the rotating cylinder 12. The anti-rotation protrusion is provided on one of the rotating cylinder 12 and the transmission cylinder 18, and the anti-rotation groove is provided on the other of the rotating cylinder 12 and the transmission cylinder 18.

[0116] For example, the spiral structure includes a threaded groove and a rib that mates with the threaded groove, wherein the threaded groove is provided on one of the intermediate cylinder 19 and the rotating cylinder 12, and the rib is provided on the other of the intermediate cylinder 19 and the rotating cylinder 12.

[0117] In this embodiment, the first lead-out pipe section 152 and the second lead-out pipe section 153 can be led out radially from the fixed cylinder 11 or axially from the fixed cylinder 11.

[0118] Since the extrusion body 14 is connected to the rotating cylinder 12, and the rotating cylinder 12 rises and falls during rotation, in order to ensure that the extrusion body 14 can extrude the flexible tube segment 151 during the rising and falling process of the rotating cylinder 12, the extrusion body 14 can be an extrusion column extending along the axial direction of the rotating cylinder 12, such as a roller; or, the extrusion body 14 includes multiple coaxially arranged rollers, which are arranged sequentially along the axial direction of the rotating cylinder 12.

[0119] It should be noted that a damping element is provided between the intermediate cylinder 19 and the fixed cylinder 11. This damping element ensures that the intermediate cylinder 19 and the fixed cylinder 11 do not rotate during the lifting and lowering of the rotating cylinder 12. When the rotating cylinder 12 descends to the mopping position, the end of the spiral groove engages with the rib, preventing the rib from moving further within the spiral groove. This causes the rotating cylinder 12 to overcome the damping force and rotate along with the intermediate cylinder 19. In other words, the rotating cylinder 12 only rotates and does not continue to descend. At this time, the rotating cylinder 12 drives the disc mop 131 to clean the surface to be cleaned. For example, the damping element is a friction element, which may be configured with an elastic element to ensure that the friction element continuously provides effective friction.

[0120] In some embodiments, at least two disc mops 131 are provided, each disc mop 131 being configured with a fixed cylinder 11, a rotating cylinder 12, a squeezing body 14, and a liquid supply pipe 15. Exemplarily, two disc mops 131 are provided.

[0121] Please refer to Figures 7 to 9 In some embodiments, the mopping component 13 is a roller mop 132, the rotating cylinder 12 is a roller and is sleeved on the outside of the fixed cylinder 11, and the squeezing body 14 is connected to the inner wall surface of the rotating cylinder 12. It can be understood that the cleaning assembly 10 is a roller-type cleaning assembly.

[0122] The roller mop 132 covers the outer wall of the rotating cylinder 12.

[0123] For example, the extrusion body 14 is a roller.

[0124] Please refer to Figure 7 In some embodiments, when the mopping component 13 is a roller mop 132, the cleaning assembly 10 further includes a liquid supply component 17 for supplying liquid to the roller mop 132, with a liquid supply pipe 15 connected to the liquid supply component 17. The liquid supply component 17 is fixed to the main body of the device.

[0125] The first outlet pipe section 152 and the second outlet pipe section 153 are axially led out from the fixed cylinder 11. The first outlet pipe section 152 is connected to the liquid storage tank, and the second outlet pipe section 153 is connected to the liquid distribution component 17.

[0126] For example, the liquid distribution component 17 can be a liquid distribution tube extending along the axial direction of the roller, and the liquid distribution tube is provided with a plurality of liquid distribution holes 171. When the rotating cylinder 12 rotates relative to the fixed cylinder 11 in the first direction X, the extrusion body 14 extrudes the flexible tube section 151, and the cleaning liquid in the flexible tube section 151 enters the liquid distribution tube through the second outlet tube section 153, and flows to the roller drag cloth 132 through the liquid distribution holes 171 on the liquid distribution tube; when the rotating cylinder 12 rotates relative to the fixed cylinder 11 in the second direction Y, the extrusion body 14 extrudes the flexible tube section 151, and the cleaning liquid in the flexible tube section 151 flows back to the liquid storage tank.

[0127] Please refer to Figure 7 In some embodiments, when the rotating cylinder 12 is a roller, the cleaning assembly 10 further includes a drive motor 16 disposed inside the rotating cylinder 12 and used to drive the rotating cylinder 12 to rotate, and the fixed cylinder 11 is the motor housing of the drive motor 16. Exemplarily, the motor housing of the drive motor 16 is provided with a limiting groove 111.

[0128] The second aspect of this application discloses a cleaning device, which includes a device body and a cleaning component 10 as described in the first aspect, the cleaning component 10 being disposed on the device body. The cleaning device may be a sweeper, a floor scrubber, a mop, etc.

[0129] The cleaning device employs any one or more embodiments of the cleaning component 10 described above, and thus has the beneficial effects of the embodiments described above, which will not be elaborated further here.

[0130] In some embodiments, the cleaning device further includes a controller, and the cleaning component 10 includes a drive mechanism connected to the rotating drum 12. The controller controls the drive mechanism in response to an adjustment command for the amount of mopping liquid to adjust the rotational speed of the rotating drum 12; wherein the amount of mopping liquid is positively correlated with the rotational speed of the rotating drum 12.

[0131] It is understood that the drive mechanism is used to drive the rotating cylinder 12 to rotate. For example, the drive mechanism includes a drive motor 16.

[0132] The amount of mopping liquid is positively correlated with the rotational speed of the rotating drum 12. This can be understood as follows: when the rotational speed of the rotating drum 12 is low, less mopping liquid is transferred to the mopping component 13; when the rotational speed of the rotating drum 12 is high, more mopping liquid is transferred to the mopping component 13. Specifically, when the controller receives a command requiring less mopping liquid, it controls the drive mechanism to reduce the rotational speed of the rotating drum 12; when the controller receives a command requiring more mopping liquid, it controls the drive mechanism to increase the rotational speed of the rotating drum 12.

[0133] The control command for adjusting the amount of mopping liquid can be manually entered by the user, or it can be automatically issued based on the detector's detection of the floor's dryness, wetness, and dirt levels.

[0134] In some embodiments, the cleaning device further includes a dirt detector for detecting the degree of dirt on the surface to be cleaned. The dirt detector sends an adjustment command for the amount of mopping liquid to the controller based on the detected degree of dirt on the surface to be cleaned. The degree of dirt on the surface to be cleaned is positively correlated with the amount of mopping liquid; that is, the degree of dirt on the surface to be cleaned is positively correlated with the rotational speed of the rotating drum 12. Understandably, the dirtier the surface to be cleaned, the higher the rotational speed of the rotating drum 12, and the more mopping liquid is transferred to the mopping element 13.

[0135] A third aspect of this application provides a cleaning system comprising a cleaning base station and cleaning equipment as described in the second aspect, wherein the cleaning base station is used to dock the cleaning equipment.

[0136] The cleaning system employs any one or more embodiments of the cleaning equipment described above, and thus has the beneficial effects of the embodiments described above, which will not be elaborated further here.

[0137] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and are not intended to limit them. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application, and should all be included within the protection scope of this application.
