Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of clean base station technology, and in particular to a clean base station and its control method. Background Technology

[0002] Existing cleaning stations typically include wastewater and clean water tanks for changing the water and cleaning the cleaning robots within the station. However, the process of transferring wastewater from the cleaning robot to the wastewater tank lacks automation, leading to leaks. Furthermore, because the wastewater tank is used to store wastewater, stains easily accumulate, resulting in inaccurate water level detection and potential blockage of drainage pipes. Traditional clean water tanks require manual replenishment, and due to space limitations, this can lead to untimely or insufficient replenishment during repeated replenishments. These issues significantly impact the user experience and efficiency of both the cleaning station and the cleaning robots. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of this, this application proposes a clean base station and its control method, the specific scheme of which is as follows:

[0004] A clean base station includes a main shell, a clean water tank assembly, and a wastewater tank assembly; the main shell has a receiving space for accommodating external devices; and corresponding to the receiving space, the main shell also has a replenishing assembly for replenishing liquid to the external devices and a draining assembly for draining liquid from the external devices.

[0005] The clean water tank assembly includes a clean water tank and an outlet pipe; one end of the outlet pipe is connected to the clean water tank, and the other end of the outlet pipe is connected to the replenishment component to form a replenishment channel from the clean water tank to the replenishment component.

[0006] The sewage tank assembly includes a sewage tank, a sewage pipe, and a first air pressure regulating device; one end of the sewage pipe is connected to the drainage assembly, and the other end of the sewage pipe is connected to the sewage tank. The sewage tank is also equipped with an air pressure regulating device to regulate the air pressure inside the sewage tank. When a negative pressure is generated inside the sewage tank, water is pumped into the sewage tank through the drainage assembly to form a drainage channel from the drainage assembly to the sewage tank.

[0007] In one specific embodiment, the accommodating space is located below the main body shell, and the wastewater tank and clean water tank are partially installed inside the main body shell, positioned above the corresponding accommodating space. In practical applications, the outlet pipe of the clean water tank assembly is connected to the bottom of the clean water tank, and the replenishment assembly is located in the accommodating space below the clean water tank, creating a height difference between the clean water tank and the replenishment assembly. The clean water in the clean water tank can automatically flow through the replenishment channel from the clean water tank to the replenishment assembly by gravity. The wastewater pipe of the wastewater tank assembly is connected to the top of the wastewater tank, and the drain assembly is located in the accommodating space below the wastewater tank, creating a height difference between the wastewater tank and the drain assembly. The wastewater tank needs to generate negative pressure in the wastewater tank through a first air pressure adjustment device to draw the wastewater from the external device into the wastewater tank through the drain channel from the drain assembly to the wastewater tank, thus completing the drainage of the external device.

[0008] In practical applications, the drainage component can be located at the bottom of the housing space of the main body, which is a floor drain structure. This makes it easier for external devices to dock with the drainage component 13 and complete the drainage process.

[0009] In some specific embodiments, a first vent is provided on the main body shell; the first air pressure adjustment device includes a first air pressure adjustment component and a first air passage, wherein the first air pressure adjustment component is connected to the sewage tank and the first vent through the first air passage.

[0010] In some specific embodiments, the wastewater tank assembly further includes a second pressure regulating device, the operating power of which is less than or equal to that of the first pressure regulating device;

[0011] The main body shell is provided with a second vent, and a check valve is provided on the second vent; one end of the second air pressure adjustment device is connected to the sewage tank, and the other end is connected to the second vent.

[0012] The second pressure regulating device can be directly connected to the sewage tank, or it can be connected to the first venting channel at one end, thus achieving communication with the sewage tank. In one specific embodiment, the user can choose to activate either the first or second pressure regulating device, or both simultaneously, to drain the external device, depending on the actual pressure regulation requirements. Furthermore, by providing both the first and second pressure regulating devices, they can complement each other during application. In practical applications, by installing a check valve on the second vent, the check valve can be closed when only the first pressure regulating device is used, thus closing the second vent and maintaining a consistent gas flow direction during the operation of the first pressure regulating device.

[0013] In one specific embodiment, the first pressure regulating device and the second pressure regulating device can generate negative pressure in the sewage tank to draw liquid from the drainage component, or they can generate negative or positive pressure in the channel formed by the sewage tank and the sewage pipe between the sewage tank and the replenishment component when there is no water in the drainage component and the sewage tank, so as to dry, ventilate and remove odors from the sewage tank and the sewage pipe.

[0014] In one specific embodiment, since the working power of the first air pressure adjustment device is greater than that of the second air pressure adjustment device, in practical applications, the two can be used to achieve different functions. For example, the first air pressure adjustment device can be used to realize the function of draining liquid from the external device, and the second air pressure adjustment device can be used to realize the function of removing odor from the sewage tank.

[0015] In some specific embodiments, the sewage tank assembly also includes a drain pipe, and the main body shell is also provided with a drain port that communicates with the outside; one end of the drain pipe is connected to the sewage tank, and the other end is connected to the drain port, so as to form a drain channel from the sewage tank to the drain port;

[0016] and / or

[0017] The clean water tank assembly also includes a water inlet pipe, and the main body shell is also provided with a liquid replenishment port that connects to an external water source; one end of the water inlet pipe is connected to the liquid replenishment port, and the other end is connected to the clean water tank, which is used to form a liquid replenishment channel from the liquid replenishment port to the clean water tank.

[0018] In one specific embodiment, the drain outlet is located on the side of the main body shell near the sewage tank, and the replenishment outlet is located on the side of the main body shell near the clean water tank.

[0019] In some specific embodiments, the wastewater tank assembly further includes a drain leak prevention device; the drain leak prevention device includes a valve body and a switch control assembly; the wastewater tank is provided with an opening, and the valve body is disposed at the opening; the drain pipe is sealed and detachably connected to the opening of the wastewater tank;

[0020] The switch control component is connected to the valve body and is used to control the valve body to open or close the opening of the sewage tank.

[0021] In one specific embodiment, the drainage and leak-proof device further includes a waterproof bottom shell and a sealing structure. The waterproof bottom shell is sealed to one side of the sewage tank opening via the sealing structure, forming a sealed space. The drainage pipe passes through one side of the waterproof bottom shell and enters this sealed space, where it is sealed to the opening of the sewage tank. By providing a waterproof bottom shell, the waterproof coefficient of the sewage tank opening side can be further improved. In practical applications, the sealing structure can be a sealing rubber ring.

[0022] In practical applications, the switch control component includes a power supply device, which includes a capacitor mounted on the valve body. When the opening at the bottom of the sewage tank is connected to the drain pipe, the capacitor is continuously powered. In one specific embodiment, the opening at the bottom of the sewage tank is normally closed. When the sewage tank enters the discharge state, the switch control component electrically controls the valve body to open the opening at the bottom of the sewage tank, allowing sewage to enter the drain pipe. When the user removes the sewage tank, the sealed connection between the opening at the bottom of the sewage tank and the drain pipe will be broken. At this time, the opening at the bottom of the sewage tank may also open, and the power supply to the capacitor will be cut off. However, the pre-stored charge in the capacitor still ensures that the switch control component controls the valve body to close the opening of the sewage tank, thus preventing leakage.

[0023] In some specific embodiments, the clean water tank assembly further includes a temperature adjustment device connected to the clean water tank. This device adjusts the temperature of the liquid passing through it, thereby regulating the temperature of the liquid in the clean water tank. In practical applications, the external device is a cleaning robot. In some situations, the cleaning robot can use hot water for cleaning to better accomplish the cleaning task. Users can set the desired temperature of the liquid in the clean water tank in the temperature adjustment device according to their actual needs.

[0024] In some specific embodiments, a pressure detection device is also included, which is connected to the sewage tank and the first pressure adjustment device respectively, and is used to control the operation of the first pressure adjustment device according to the detected pressure value in the sewage tank.

[0025] In practical applications, by setting up an air pressure detection device to detect the real-time air pressure value in the sewage tank, the operating power of the first air pressure adjustment device can be effectively adjusted according to actual needs, making the operation of the first air pressure adjustment device more efficient.

[0026] In one specific embodiment, a control device is also included. This control device is electrically connected to both the drainage leak prevention device and the pressure regulating device, and is used to control the operation of both devices. By providing the control device, unified control or remote control adjustment of the drainage leak prevention device and the pressure regulating device can be achieved. In a specific application, the control device includes multiple buttons located on the main housing, allowing the user to adjust the operating mode of the clean water tank assembly or the wastewater tank assembly by pressing different buttons.

[0027] Secondly, a control method for a clean base station is proposed, applicable to any of the clean base stations described in the aforementioned technical solutions, including:

[0028] When an external device is detected in the containment space, the drain assembly and / or replenishment assembly are docked with the external device; the connection between the drain assembly and / or replenishment assembly and the external device is checked.

[0029] When the detection drainage component is connected to an external device, the liquid volume in the sewage tank and the external device is measured;

[0030] When the liquid volume in the external device reaches the preset capacity value, the air pressure in the sewage tank is adjusted by the air pressure regulating device.

[0031] When the air pressure regulating device generates negative pressure in the sewage tank, it forms a drainage channel from the drainage component to the sewage tank. The liquid in the external device is drawn into the sewage tank through the drainage component until the space in the external device that can hold the liquid reaches the preset value.

[0032] and / or

[0033] When the fluid replenishment assembly is detected to be connected to an external device, the fluid volume in the clean water tank and the external device is measured.

[0034] A replenishment channel is formed from the replenishment component to the clean water tank, through which the liquid in the clean water tank is transported to the external device.

[0035] In practical applications, the amount of liquid in clean water tanks, wastewater tanks, and external devices can be measured by measuring the weight of the liquid or the height of the liquid level.

[0036] In some specific embodiments, the clean water tank assembly further includes a water inlet pipe, and the main body shell is also provided with a liquid replenishment port that connects to an external water source; one end of the water inlet pipe is connected to the liquid replenishment port, and the other end is connected to the clean water tank; the method includes:

[0037] Monitor the liquid level in the clean water tank; when the liquid level in the clean water tank is lower than the preset value, external water is supplied to the clean water tank through the water inlet from the liquid replenishment port until the liquid level in the clean water tank reaches the preset value.

[0038] In some specific embodiments, the wastewater tank assembly further includes a drain pipe, and the main body shell is also provided with a drain port communicating with the outside; one end of the drain pipe is connected to the wastewater tank, and the other end is connected to the drain port; the method includes:

[0039] When the liquid level in the sewage tank reaches the preset value, the liquid in the sewage tank is discharged from the drain outlet through the drain pipe.

[0040] In practical applications, determining whether the liquid volume has reached the preset value can be achieved by placing a float for measuring the liquid level inside the sewage tank and / or the clean water tank. In one specific embodiment, when the float is detected to be at a preset position inside the sewage tank, it can be considered that the sewage tank is full, and the drain pipe is automatically controlled to discharge the liquid from the sewage tank from the drain port; when the float is detected to be at a preset position inside the clean water tank, it can be considered that the clean water tank is full, and the supply of external water to the clean water tank from the replenishment port is automatically stopped.

[0041] Beneficial Effects: This application proposes a clean water base station, including a main shell, a wastewater tank assembly, and a clean water tank assembly. The main shell has a receiving space for accommodating external devices. Corresponding to the receiving space within the main shell, a replenishment assembly for replenishing liquid to the external devices and a drainage assembly for draining liquid from the external devices are also provided, further forming a replenishment channel from the clean water tank to the replenishment assembly. An air pressure regulating device is installed on the wastewater tank to regulate the air pressure inside the wastewater tank, creating a drainage channel from the drainage assembly to the wastewater tank when negative pressure is generated inside. This enables automatic replenishment of the clean water tank to external devices and automatic drainage of the wastewater tank by external devices, eliminating the need for manual water changing and cleaning of each tank by the user, effectively improving the multifunctionality and automation of the clean water base station.

[0053] Example 1

[0054] This application discloses a clean base station, the specific solution of which is as follows:

[0055] A clean base station includes a main shell 1, a clean water tank assembly 3, and a wastewater tank assembly 2; the main shell 1 has a receiving space 11 for accommodating external devices; the main shell 1 also has a replenishing assembly 12 for replenishing liquid to the external devices and a draining assembly 13 for draining liquid from the external devices at positions corresponding to the receiving space 11.

[0056] The clean water tank assembly 3 includes a clean water tank 31 and a water outlet pipe; one end of the water outlet pipe is connected to the clean water tank 31, and the other end of the water outlet pipe is connected to the liquid replenishment assembly 12 to form a liquid replenishment channel from the clean water tank 31 to the liquid replenishment assembly 12.

[0057] The sewage tank assembly 2 includes a sewage tank 21, a sewage pipe 22, and a first air pressure regulating device 23. One end of the sewage pipe 22 is connected to the drainage assembly 13, and the other end of the sewage pipe 22 is connected to the sewage tank 21. The sewage tank 21 is also equipped with an air pressure regulating device to regulate the air pressure inside the sewage tank 21. When a negative pressure is generated inside the sewage tank 21, water is pumped into the sewage tank 21 through the drainage assembly 13 to form a drainage channel from the drainage assembly 13 to the sewage tank 21.

[0058] In one specific embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the accommodating space 11 is located below the main body shell 1, and the sewage tank 21 and the clean water tank 31 are partially installed inside the main body shell 1 and located above the corresponding accommodating space 11 in the main body shell 1. In practical applications, the outlet pipe of the clean water tank assembly 3 is connected to the bottom of the clean water tank 31, and the replenishment assembly 12 is located in the accommodating space 11 below the clean water tank 31, so that there is a height difference between the clean water tank 31 and the replenishment assembly 12. The clean water in the clean water tank 31 can flow automatically in the replenishment channel from the clean water tank 31 to the replenishment assembly 12 by gravity. The sewage pipe 22 of the sewage tank assembly 2 is connected to the top of the sewage tank 21, and the drain assembly 13 is located in the accommodating space 11 below the sewage tank 21, so that there is a height difference between the sewage tank 21 and the drain assembly 13. The sewage tank 21 needs to generate negative pressure in the sewage tank 21 through the first air pressure adjustment device 23 so as to draw the sewage in the external device into the sewage tank 21 through the drain channel from the drain assembly 13 to the sewage tank 21, so as to complete the draining of the external device.

[0059] In practical applications, the drain assembly 13 is located at the bottom of the accommodating space 11 of the main body shell 1, and is a floor drain structure, which makes it easier for external devices to dock with the drain assembly 13 and complete the draining process.

[0060] In some specific embodiments, the main body shell 1 is provided with a first vent 14; the first air pressure adjustment device 23 includes a first air pressure adjustment component 231 and a first air passage 232, and the first air pressure adjustment component 231 is connected to the sewage tank 21 and the first vent 14 through the first air passage 232 respectively.

[0061] In some specific embodiments, the sewage tank assembly 2 further includes a second air pressure regulating device 24, the operating power of which is less than or equal to that of the first air pressure regulating device 23;

[0062] A second vent 15 is provided on the main casing 1, and a check valve is installed on the second vent 15; one end of the second air pressure regulating device 24 is connected to the sewage tank 21, and the other end is connected to the second vent 15. The connection relationships between the various pipes are as follows: Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown.

[0063] The second pressure regulating device 24 can be directly connected to the sewage tank 21, or it can be connected to the first ventilation channel 232 at one end, thus achieving communication with the sewage tank 21. In a specific embodiment, the user can choose to activate the first pressure regulating device 23, the second pressure regulating device, or both simultaneously to drain the external device, depending on the actual need for pressure regulation. Furthermore, by setting up the first pressure regulating device 23 and the second pressure regulating device 24, they can complement each other during application. In practical applications, by installing a check valve on the second ventilation port 15, the check valve can be closed when only the first pressure regulating device 23 is used and the second pressure regulating device 24 is not used, thus closing the second ventilation port 15 and maintaining a consistent gas flow direction during the operation of the first pressure regulating device 23.

[0064] In one specific embodiment, the first pressure regulating device 23 and the second pressure regulating device 24 can generate negative pressure in the sewage tank 21 to draw liquid from the drain assembly 13, or they can generate negative or positive pressure in the channel formed by the sewage pipe 22 between the sewage tank 21 and the replenishment assembly 12 when there is no water in the drain assembly 13 and the sewage tank 21, so as to dry, ventilate and remove odors from the sewage tank 21 and the sewage pipe 22.

[0065] In one specific embodiment, the first pressure regulating device 23 and the second pressure regulating device 24 can be devices such as fans or vacuum machines that can generate negative or positive pressure in the sewage tank 21. Since the working power of the first pressure regulating device 23 is greater than that of the second pressure regulating device 24, in practical applications, they can be used to achieve different functions. For example, the first pressure regulating device 23 can be used to realize the function of draining liquid from external devices, and the second pressure regulating device 24 can be used to realize the function of removing odors from the sewage tank 21.

[0066] In some specific embodiments, the sewage tank assembly 2 also includes a drain pipe 25, and the main body shell 1 is also provided with a drain port 16 that communicates with the outside; one end of the drain pipe 25 is connected to the sewage tank 21, and the other end is connected to the drain port 16, so as to form a drain channel from the sewage tank 21 to the drain port 16.

[0067] and / or

[0068] The clean water tank assembly 3 also includes a water inlet pipe, and the main body shell 1 is also provided with a liquid replenishment port 17 that connects to an external water source; one end of the water inlet pipe is connected to the liquid replenishment port 17, and the other end is connected to the clean water tank 31, which is used to form a liquid replenishment channel from the liquid replenishment port 17 to the clean water tank 31.

[0069] In one specific embodiment, the drain port 16 is located on the side of the main body shell 1 near the sewage tank 21, and the replenishment port 17 is located on the side of the main body shell 1 near the clean water tank 31. The drain port 16 and the replenishment port 17 can be located on opposite sides of the main body shell 1, which can isolate the positions of the drain port 16 and the replenishment port 17 to prevent the liquids from coming into contact with each other and causing contamination.

[0070] In some specific embodiments, the sewage tank assembly 2 further includes a drain leak prevention device 4; the drain leak prevention device 4 includes a valve body 41 and a switch control assembly 42; the sewage tank 21 is provided with an opening, and the valve body 41 is provided at the opening; the drain pipe 25 is sealed and detachably connected to the opening of the sewage tank 21.

[0071] The switch control component 42 is connected to the valve body 41 and is used to control the valve body 41 to open or close the opening of the sewage tank 21.

[0072] In one specific embodiment, such as Figure 6 As shown, the drainage and leak-proof device 4 also includes a waterproof bottom shell and a sealing structure 43. The waterproof bottom shell is sealed to the opening side of the sewage tank 21 through the sealing structure 43, forming a sealed space with the opening side of the sewage tank 21. The drainage pipe 25 passes through one side of the waterproof bottom shell and enters this sealed space to seal with the opening of the sewage tank 21. By setting the waterproof bottom shell, the waterproof coefficient of the opening side of the sewage tank 21 can be further improved.

[0073] In practical applications, the switch control component 42 includes a power supply device, which includes a capacitor mounted on the valve body 41. When the opening at the bottom of the sewage tank 21 is connected to the drain pipe 25, the capacitor is continuously powered. In one specific embodiment, the opening at the bottom of the sewage tank 21 is normally closed. When the sewage tank 21 enters the discharge state, the switch control component 42 electrically controls the valve body 41 to open the opening at the bottom of the sewage tank 21, allowing the sewage in the tank to enter the drain pipe 25. When the user removes the sewage tank 21, the sealed connection between the opening at the bottom of the sewage tank 21 and the drain pipe 25 will be broken. At this time, the power supply to the capacitor will be cut off, but the remaining charge in the capacitor will still ensure that the switch control component 42 controls the valve body 41 to close the opening of the sewage tank 21, thus preventing leakage.

[0074] In some specific embodiments, the clean water tank assembly 3 further includes a temperature adjustment device 5, which is connected to the clean water tank 31 and is used to adjust the temperature of the liquid passing through the temperature adjustment device 5, thereby adjusting the temperature of the liquid in the clean water tank 31. In practical applications, the temperature adjustment device 5 may include a heating tube. In a specific heating process, the liquid in the clean water tank 31 is pumped into the heating tube, the heating tube heats the liquid, and the heated liquid is further returned to the clean water tank 31 to adjust the temperature of the liquid in the clean water tank 31.

[0075] In practical applications, the external device is a cleaning robot. In some situations, the cleaning robot can use hot water for cleaning to better accomplish the cleaning task. Users can set the temperature of the liquid in the clean water tank 31 in the temperature adjustment device 5 according to their actual needs.

[0076] In some specific embodiments, a pressure detection device 6 is also included. The pressure detection device 6 is connected to the sewage tank 21 and the first pressure adjustment device 23 respectively, and is used to control the operation of the first pressure adjustment device 23 according to the detected pressure value in the sewage tank 21.

[0077] In practical applications, by setting up an air pressure detection device 6 to detect the real-time air pressure value in the sewage tank 21, the operating power of the first air pressure adjustment device 23 can be effectively adjusted according to actual needs, making the operation of the first air pressure adjustment device 23 more efficient.

[0078] In one specific embodiment, a liquid volume detection device is also included, which connects the clean water tank 31 and the wastewater tank 21. The liquid volume detection device can measure the liquid volume in the clean water tank 31, the wastewater tank 21 and the external device by measuring the weight of the liquid or the position of the liquid level.

[0079] In one specific embodiment, a cleaning fluid replenishment device is also included. This device is connected to the clean water tank 31, and / or the water outlet pipe, and / or the replenishment assembly 12, to replenish the external device with cleaning fluid in addition to clean water at the cleaning base station, thereby improving the cleaning capability of the external device. When the cleaning fluid replenishment device is directly connected to the clean water tank 31, clean water and cleaning fluid can also be further mixed in the clean water tank 31 to form cleaning water with specific cleaning characteristics.

[0080] In one specific embodiment, a control device 7 is further included. The control device 7 is electrically connected to the drainage and leak-proof device 4 and the air pressure regulating device, respectively, and is used to control the operation of the drainage and leak-proof device 4 and the air pressure regulating device. By setting the control device 7, unified control or remote control adjustment of the drainage and leak-proof device 4 and the air pressure regulating device can be realized. In a specific application, the control device 7 includes multiple buttons set on the main body housing 1, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, users can adjust the operating mode of the clean water tank assembly 3 or the wastewater tank assembly 2 by pressing different buttons.

[0081] This embodiment proposes a cleaning base station. By configuring a main shell, a clean water tank assembly, a wastewater tank assembly, and replenishment and drainage assemblies located within the corresponding spaces of the main shell, a replenishment channel is formed from the clean water tank to the replenishment assembly, allowing the clean water tank to automatically obtain water from an external source. An air pressure regulating device is installed on the wastewater tank to adjust the air pressure inside, creating a drainage channel from the drainage assembly to the wastewater tank when negative pressure is generated. This enables automatic replenishment of the clean water tank to external devices and automatic drainage of the wastewater tank from external devices, achieving full automation of water supply and drainage for the cleaning base station. This effectively reduces the time users spend managing the cleaning base station, eliminating the need for manual operation of the water tanks. It improves cleaning efficiency while optimizing the user experience. The overall structure is highly integrated, has a small footprint, and is easy to use.

[0083] This application discloses a control method for a clean base station, applicable to any of the clean base stations described in Embodiment 1. The specific steps of the method are as follows: Figure 7 As shown, it includes:

[0084] S100: When an external device is detected in the accommodating space 11, the drain assembly 13 and / or the replenishment assembly 12 are connected to the external device; the connection between the drain assembly 13 and / or the replenishment assembly 12 and the external device is detected.

[0085] S211. When the detection and drainage assembly 13 is connected to the external device, the liquid volume in the sewage tank 21 and the external device is measured.

[0086] S212. When the liquid volume in the external device is detected to reach the preset capacity value, the air pressure in the sewage tank 21 is adjusted by the air pressure regulating device.

[0087] S213 When the air pressure regulating device generates negative pressure in the sewage tank 21, it forms a drainage channel from the drainage component 13 to the sewage tank 21. The liquid in the external device is drawn into the sewage tank 21 through the drainage component 13 until the space available to hold the liquid in the external device reaches the preset value.

[0089] S221. When it is detected that the liquid replenishment component 12 is connected to the external device, the liquid volume in the clean water tank 31 and the external device is measured.

[0090] S222, A replenishment channel is formed from the replenishment component 12 to the clean water tank 31, and the liquid in the clean water tank 31 is transported to the external device through the replenishment component 12.

[0091] In practical applications, in step S100, the amount of liquid in the clean water tank 31, the wastewater tank 21, and the external device can be measured by measuring the weight of the liquid or the position of the liquid level.

[0092] In some specific embodiments, the clean water tank assembly 3 further includes a water inlet pipe, and the main body shell 1 is also provided with a liquid replenishment port 17 for connecting to an external water source; one end of the water inlet pipe is connected to the liquid replenishment port 17, and the other end is connected to the clean water tank 31; the method includes:

[0093] Monitor the liquid level in the clean water tank 31; when the liquid level in the clean water tank 31 is lower than the preset value, external water is supplied to the clean water tank 31 through the water inlet pipe from the liquid replenishment port 17 until the liquid level in the clean water tank 31 reaches the preset value.

[0094] In some specific embodiments, the sewage tank assembly 2 further includes a drain pipe 25, and the main body shell 1 is also provided with a drain port 16 communicating with the outside; one end of the drain pipe 25 is connected to the sewage tank 21, and the other end is connected to the drain port 16; the method includes:

[0095] When the liquid volume in the sewage tank 21 reaches the preset value, the liquid in the sewage tank 21 is discharged from the drain port 16 through the drain pipe 25.

[0096] In practical applications, determining whether the liquid volume has reached a preset value can be achieved by placing a float for measuring the liquid level inside the sewage tank 21 and / or the clean water tank 31. In one specific embodiment, when the float is detected to be at a preset position inside the sewage tank 21, the sewage tank 21 is considered full, and the drain pipe 25 is automatically controlled to discharge the liquid from the drain port 16. Similarly, when the float is detected to be at a preset position inside the clean water tank 31, the clean water tank 31 is considered full, and the supply of external water to the clean water tank 31 from the replenishment port 17 is automatically stopped. By detecting the liquid volume in the sewage tank 21 or the clean water tank 31 in real time, it is possible to intelligently control the sewage tank 21 to automatically discharge sewage or control the clean water tank 31 to automatically obtain clean water.

[0097] In some specific embodiments, the clean water tank assembly 3 further includes a temperature adjustment device 5, which is connected to the clean water tank 31. When the liquid volume in the clean water tank 31 reaches a preset value, the temperature of the liquid in the clean water tank 31 can be adjusted. The specific process includes:

[0098] The temperature adjustment device 5 obtains the target temperature range and adjusts the temperature of the liquid in the clean water tank 31 in real time according to the target temperature range and the liquid volume in the clean water tank 31, so as to keep the liquid temperature in the clean water tank 31 constant within the target temperature range.

[0099] In practical applications, the temperature adjustment device 5 includes a heating tube. After obtaining the target heating temperature value, the liquid in the clean water tank 31 is pumped into the heating tube, which heats the liquid. The heated liquid then flows back into the clean water tank 31 to adjust the temperature of the liquid in the clean water tank 31.

[0100] This embodiment proposes a control method for a cleaning base station. By adopting any of the aforementioned technical solutions, when an external device is detected in the containment space, the clean water tank assembly is controlled to replenish liquid to the external device or the wastewater tank assembly is used to extract liquid from the external device according to the actual situation detected. This achieves fully automatic liquid replenishment and drainage of the cleaning device, reduces the user's management time for the cleaning device, eliminates the need for the user to manually replace, clean, or replenish the water tank, effectively improves the cleaning efficiency of the cleaning device, and optimizes the user experience.
