[0050] Figure 7 A schematic flowchart illustrating another cleaning equipment control method provided in an embodiment of this application;

[0051] Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a cleaning equipment control device provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0052] The accompanying drawings illustrate specific embodiments of this application, which will be described in more detail below. These drawings and descriptions are not intended to limit the scope of the concept in any way, but rather to illustrate the concept of this application to those skilled in the art through reference to particular embodiments. Detailed Implementation

[0053] To facilitate a clear description of the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application, the terms "first" and "second" are used in the embodiments of this application to distinguish identical or similar items with essentially the same function and purpose. For example, "first device" and "second device" are merely used to distinguish different devices and do not limit their order of execution. Those skilled in the art will understand that the terms "first" and "second" do not limit the quantity or execution order, and that "first" and "second" do not necessarily imply that they are different.

[0054] It should be noted that, in this application, the terms "exemplary" or "for example" are used to indicate that something is being described as an example, illustration, or illustration. Any embodiment or design described as "exemplary" or "for example" in this application should not be construed as being more preferred or advantageous than other embodiments or design solutions. Specifically, the use of terms such as "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present the relevant concepts in a concrete manner.

[0055] In this application, "at least one" means one or more, and "more than one" means two or more. "And / or" describes the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can mean: A alone, A and B simultaneously, or B alone, where A and B can be singular or plural. The character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects are in an "or" relationship. "At least one of the following" or similar expressions refer to any combination of these items, including any combination of single or plural items. For example, at least one of a, b, or c can mean: a, b, c, ab, ac, bc, or abc, where a, b, and c can be single or multiple.

[0056] Currently, when cleaning equipment uses steam, a binary regulation mode based on on / off control is commonly used for steam control. This means that users primarily manually turn the steam cleaning function on or off. When the user manually turns on the steam cleaning function, the power supply circuit to the steam generator in the cleaning equipment is connected, driving the heating element to operate, and simultaneously starting the water pump to deliver water, forming a continuous and stable steam flow. When the cleaning task is completed, or when the user manually turns off the steam cleaning function, the power supply circuit to the steam generator is disconnected, and the water pump is turned off to terminate steam output.

[0057] However, this steam control method has significant technical limitations. First, the matching between the steam output of the cleaning equipment and actual cleaning needs is poor; that is, the control of steam volume mainly relies on manual operation by the user, which cannot quickly match the actual cleaning needs, resulting in poor cleaning effect and efficiency (such as insufficient cleaning power and slow cleaning speed). Second, if the user lacks experience, there may be situations where excessive steam volume or temperature can cause damage to the floor or the items being cleaned, or excessive redundant energy consumption of the cleaning equipment due to excessive steam volume or temperature, resulting in resource waste.

[0058] In view of this, this application provides a cleaning equipment control method. During the cleaning process, the cleaning equipment detects the object to be cleaned in real time to determine the target steam demand corresponding to the cleaning attributes, such as object type and stain type. Then, based on the required steam demand, the parameters of the steam generated by the cleaning equipment are adjusted to spray steam matching the target steam demand onto the object to be cleaned, thereby improving cleaning effect and efficiency while reducing energy consumption of the cleaning equipment.

[0059] The cleaning equipment mentioned in this application may be, for example, a robot vacuum cleaner, a sweeper and mop combo, a floor scrubber, a steam cleaner, a steam mop, or other electronic devices with steam cleaning functions, and this application does not limit this.

[0060] Below, we will take a robotic vacuum cleaner as an example of cleaning equipment. Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a cleaning device provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 1 As shown, the cleaning equipment may include: a steam supply pump, a heater, a steam nozzle, an environmental sensing sensor, and a controller.

[0061] The steam feedwater pump is used to supply water to the heater for steam generation. It can be a centrifugal pump, plunger pump, gear pump, or similar type of pump. The steam feedwater pump can supply water either by directly connecting to a water pipe or by connecting to a water tank (transferring water stored in the tank to the heater). Optionally, when the steam feedwater pump supplies water via a water tank, the water tank can be integrated into the cleaning equipment or be a separate tank independent of the cleaning equipment.

[0062] Heaters are used to heat water to generate steam; for example, they can be electric heating tube heaters, electromagnetic heaters, thick film heaters, etc.

[0063] Steam nozzles are used to spray steam, that is, to spray the steam generated by the cleaning equipment onto the object to be cleaned.

[0064] An environmental perception sensor is used to identify the cleaning attributes of an object to be cleaned. These attributes may include at least one of the following: object type, stain type, etc. The object type may be, for example, a floor (e.g., wood flooring, tile flooring, marble flooring, cement flooring, etc.) or the type of object when the object to be cleaned is a specific object (e.g., tabletop, carpet, etc.). The stain type may be classified according to the severity of the stain (e.g., light stain, moderate stain, heavy stain, etc.) or according to the cause of the stain (e.g., oil stain, water stain, blood stain, ink stain, etc.). For example, the environmental perception sensor may include a visual sensor (e.g., a camera, an AI camera, etc.), an infrared sensor, a millimeter-wave radar, an ultrasonic sensor, a lidar, etc.

[0065] The controller is used to spray steam onto the object to be cleaned during the cleaning process, based on the target steam demand corresponding to the identified cleaning attributes of the object. Specifically, the controller can determine the target steam demand based on the cleaning attributes of the object identified by environmental sensors, and then generate and spray steam corresponding to the target steam demand by controlling the water supply of the steam pump and the heating parameters of the heater. This controller can be, for example, a central processing unit (CPU), microcontroller unit (MCU), system-on-chip (SOC), programmable logic controller (PLC), or digital signal processor (DSP) of the cleaning equipment.

[0066] Optionally, the controller mentioned above can be deployed on the cleaning equipment or be an external controller. For example, the controller can be a user terminal connected to the cleaning equipment (such as a user's mobile phone, tablet, computer, smart wearable device, smart home device, etc.); or it can be a controller on the cleaning equipment base station (such as the base station of a robot vacuum cleaner); or it can be a cloud server corresponding to the cleaning equipment.

[0067] In one possible implementation, when the cleaning equipment has a corresponding cleaning equipment base station, the base station can replace the water in the water tank of the cleaning equipment through a water replacement mechanism.

[0068] The following is based on Figure 1 Taking the controller of the cleaning equipment shown as an example, this paper provides a detailed explanation of the technical solution of this application and how it solves the aforementioned technical problems through specific embodiments. The following specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described again in some embodiments. The embodiments of this application will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0069] During the cleaning process, the cleaning equipment sprays steam onto the object to be cleaned based on the target steam requirement corresponding to the identified cleaning attributes of the object. The cleaning attributes include at least one of object type and stain type.

[0070] This involves using environmental sensing sensors to collect information about the object to be cleaned, identifying its object type and / or stain type, among other cleaning attributes. For example, image recognition can be performed on the collected images of the object to be cleaned to determine its object type (what kind of object it is, what its specific type is), and / or stain type (the severity of the stain, the specific type of stain, etc.). For instance, taking a floor as an example, an ultrasonic sensor can identify whether the floor is wood, tile, carpet, or marble, and then an AI camera or other stain recognition sensor can determine the type of stain on the floor.

[0071] One possible implementation is to analyze the identified cleanliness attributes (e.g., by analyzing a predictive model of cleanliness attributes and steam demand built based on machine learning, or by analyzing based on a preset rule base, etc. The specific analysis method can refer to the existing technology, and this application does not limit it), determine the target steam demand corresponding to the cleanliness attribute, and then determine the type of steam to be generated based on the correspondence between the target steam demand and steam.

[0072] Another possible approach is to use the target steam demand as a potential factor, and directly determine which type of steam needs to be generated for a given cleanliness attribute based on the identified cleanliness attribute and the correspondence between cleanliness attributes and steam.

[0073] Optionally, if the cleaning attribute includes an object type, the suitability for steam cleaning can be determined based on that object type. For example, continuing with the example of a floor, if the object type is identified as wood flooring or carpet, it can be determined that steam cleaning would damage these surfaces, making them unsuitable for steam cleaning. In this case, steam can be withheld from cleaning. Conversely, if the object type is identified as marble or cement flooring, it can be determined that steam cleaning would not damage them, making them suitable for steam cleaning. In this case, steam can be sprayed onto the object. Alternatively, a corresponding steam type can be set based on the different object types that are suitable for steam cleaning, so that when the object type is identified, the corresponding steam is generated and sprayed onto the object.

[0074] Optionally, if the cleaning attribute includes stain type, steam can be generated according to the different steam types corresponding to different stain types for steam cleaning. For example, for heavy stains (such as stubborn stains that are difficult to remove, heavily soiled stains, etc.), steam with a higher temperature and a larger steam volume can be generated for steam cleaning; for moderate stains, steam with a moderate temperature and a smaller steam volume can be generated for steam cleaning; for light stains, steam with a lower temperature and a smaller steam volume can be generated for steam cleaning, and so on.

[0075] Optionally, if the cleaning attributes include object type and stain type, you can first determine whether steam cleaning is possible based on the object type, and then determine which type of steam to generate for steam cleaning based on the stain type. Alternatively, you can first determine whether steam cleaning is possible based on the object type, and then generate steam corresponding to the combination of object type and stain type for steam cleaning based on the relationship between object type, stain type, and steam.

[0076] For example, Figure 2 This is a schematic flowchart illustrating a cleaning equipment control method provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 As shown, the method may include:

[0077] S201. Identify the target steam requirement corresponding to the cleaning attributes of the object to be cleaned.

[0078] S202. Generate steam according to the target steam demand.

[0079] S203. Spray steam onto the object to be cleaned.

[0080] It should be noted that, Figure 2 The specific execution process of the steps shown in the embodiments can be found in the above embodiments, and will not be repeated here.

[0081] The method provided in this application embodiment determines the target steam requirement based on at least one of the identified cleaning attributes, including the object type and stain type, during the cleaning process of the cleaning equipment. Steam corresponding to the target steam requirement is then sprayed onto the object to be cleaned to clean it. This allows the cleaning equipment to use different steam for different objects to be cleaned, thereby improving the intelligent level of steam control and the cleaning effect of the cleaning equipment.

[0082] Below, taking cleaning attributes including object type and stain type as an example, we will provide a detailed introduction on how to spray steam onto the object to be cleaned based on the target steam requirement corresponding to the identified cleaning attributes of the object. Figure 3 This is a schematic flowchart illustrating another cleaning equipment control method provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 3 As shown, the method may include:

[0083] S301. Based on the identified object type of the object to be cleaned, determine whether the object type is a target type that can be steam cleaned.

[0084] One possible implementation involves determining whether an object type is a target type suitable for steam cleaning based on a pre-defined mapping table. This mapping table includes steam cleaning identifiers for each object type. For object types suitable for steam cleaning, the corresponding steam cleaning identifier is a first value (e.g., 1, Yes, Allowed, Y, etc., indicating that steam cleaning is possible); for object types not suitable for steam cleaning, the corresponding steam cleaning identifier is a second value (e.g., 0, No, Not Allowed, N, etc., indicating that steam cleaning is not possible). By querying the mapping table to obtain the corresponding steam cleaning identifier for the object type, it can be determined whether the object type is a target type suitable for steam cleaning.

[0085] Another possible implementation involves using a pre-trained object type recognition model. This model can be trained using a deep learning algorithm on a large dataset of known object types and their suitability for steam cleaning. The object type of the identified object to be cleaned is input into this model, which then outputs whether the object type is a target type suitable for steam cleaning. For example, the model can output a probability value representing the likelihood that the object type belongs to a target type suitable for steam cleaning. If the probability value is greater than a preset probability threshold (e.g., 0.8), the object type is determined to be a target type suitable for steam cleaning; if the probability value is less than or equal to the preset probability threshold, the object type is determined not to be a target type suitable for steam cleaning.

[0086] S302. If the object type is a target type that can be steam cleaned, then steam is generated according to the steam requirement corresponding to the stain type.

[0087] When the object type is a target type that can be steam cleaned, steam that is more effective at cleaning that type of stain can be generated based on the steam requirements corresponding to the stain type.

[0088] In this process, at least one of the steam quantity and steam temperature will differ depending on the steam demand. This is because different steam quantities and / or different steam temperatures can achieve different steam cleaning effects for different steam demands. Therefore, the appropriate steam quantity and steam temperature can be determined through preliminary experiments to match different steam demands, so that cleaning with steam generated at that quantity and temperature can achieve better cleaning results and higher cleaning efficiency.

[0089] Specifically, the water supply of the steam feed pump in the cleaning equipment can be adjusted according to the steam quantity and / or steam temperature corresponding to different steam demands, thereby regulating the amount of steam generated; the heating parameters of the heater in the cleaning equipment can be adjusted to regulate the steam temperature generated. Optionally, by adjusting the heating parameters, different heating efficiencies can also be used to generate different amounts of steam. Based on the adjustment of the water supply and heating parameters, steam with a specific quantity and temperature can be generated to meet different steam demands.

[0090] In this step, the steam requirement corresponding to the stain type can be determined based on a preset mapping relationship. Based on this mapping relationship and the stain type, the steam requirement corresponding to the stain type can be determined.

[0091] Optionally, the steam demand can be directly associated with different steam quantities and steam temperatures, such as steam demand 1 corresponding to steam quantity 1 and steam temperature 1; steam demand 2 corresponding to steam quantity 2 and steam temperature 2, etc.

[0092] Alternatively, the steam demand can be directly associated with different steam levels. For example, steam demand 1 corresponds to steam level 1, where the steam quantity and temperature are both 1. Steam demand 2 corresponds to steam level 2, where the steam quantity and temperature are both 2.

[0093] S303. Spray steam corresponding to the type of stain onto the object to be cleaned.

[0094] After controlling the steam generation, steam corresponding to the type of stain can be sprayed onto the object to be cleaned through the steam nozzle of the cleaning equipment. For example, a target steam volume and target temperature corresponding to the type of stain can be sprayed onto the object to be cleaned. The target steam volume is the amount of steam that is most effective at cleaning that type of stain, and the target temperature is the steam temperature that is most effective at cleaning that type of stain.

[0095] One possible implementation is that the steam nozzle can be a fixed-angle nozzle, which sprays steam onto the stains on the object to be cleaned by controlling the position and angle of the cleaning device.

[0096] Another possible implementation is that the steam nozzle can be an adjustable spray angle nozzle, which sprays steam onto the stains on the object to be cleaned by controlling the position and angle of the cleaning device and the spray angle of the steam nozzle.

[0097] The method provided in this application determines whether the object type is a target type suitable for steam cleaning based on the identified object type. If the object type is a target type suitable for steam cleaning, it further generates steam with a better cleaning effect for that type of stain based on the steam requirements corresponding to the stain type, and sprays the steam corresponding to the stain type onto the object to be cleaned. This accurately matches the steam parameters suitable for the object type and stain type in different cleaning scenarios, avoiding damage to the object to be cleaned due to excessively high steam temperature or excessive steam volume. Thus, while ensuring cleaning effect and efficiency, it protects the object to be cleaned from damage.

[0098] Below, we will provide a detailed explanation of how to spray steam of the target amount and temperature corresponding to the type of stain onto the object to be cleaned. Figure 4 This is a flowchart illustrating another cleaning equipment control method provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 4 As shown, this step may specifically include:

[0099] S401. Determine the water supply control signal and heating control signal of the cleaning equipment based on the target steam demand.

[0100] The water supply control signal may include, for example, a pulse width modulation (PWM) signal or a frequency regulation signal that controls the steam supply of the cleaning equipment. The heating control signal may include, for example, a PWM signal, a voltage regulation signal, or a current regulation signal that controls the steam heating of the cleaning equipment.

[0101] If the steam supply is adjusted using a PWM signal, the steam supply from the steam feed pump can be controlled by adjusting the duty cycle of the PWM signal. The duty cycle is the ratio of the time the signal is in a valid state (e.g., high level) to the total cycle time. Specifically, increasing the duty cycle of the PWM signal increases the steam supply. For example, assuming the PWM signal has a high-level time of 2ms and a duty cycle of 20% within one cycle (e.g., 10ms), the steam feed pump operates at lower power, resulting in a relatively small water supply. If the high-level time is increased to 5ms, the duty cycle becomes 50%, and the pump's operating power increases accordingly, allowing more water to be supplied in the same amount of time, thus increasing the steam supply. Conversely, decreasing the duty cycle of the PWM signal reduces the pump's operating power, thereby decreasing the steam supply.

[0102] Similarly, the amount of steam heating in the heater of the cleaning equipment can be adjusted using a similar method via PWM signals, which will not be elaborated here.

[0103] If the steam supply is adjusted via a frequency control signal, the operating frequency of the steam feed pump can be changed, thereby adjusting the steam supply. For example, if the steam feed pump uses a variable frequency motor, and the pump operates at 50Hz with a supply rate of 1L per minute, increasing the frequency to 60Hz increases the motor speed and the supply rate to 1.2L per minute. Conversely, reducing the pump's operating frequency slows the motor speed, thus reducing the steam supply.

[0104] When the heating control signal is a voltage regulation signal or a current regulation signal, the voltage and current of the heater can be adjusted according to the corresponding signal. When it is necessary to increase the heating power, the voltage and current can be increased, thereby improving the heating effect of the heater (i.e., increasing the amount of steam heated) and achieving the effect of increasing the steam temperature. Conversely, when it is necessary to reduce the heating power, the voltage and current can be reduced, thereby reducing the heating effect of the heater (i.e., reducing the amount of steam heated) and achieving the effect of reducing the steam temperature.

[0105] In this step, the required steam supply and heating amount for generating the corresponding steam can be determined based on the target steam demand, and the corresponding water supply control signal and heating control signal can be determined based on the steam supply and heating amount.

[0106] S402. Based on the water supply control signal and heating control signal, spray steam of the target amount and target temperature corresponding to the type of stain onto the object to be cleaned.

[0107] In this step, the operating status of the steam supply pump and heater is adjusted according to the water supply control signal and heating control signal to generate steam with the target steam quantity and temperature corresponding to the type of stain. This steam is then sprayed onto the object to be cleaned through a steam nozzle.

[0108] Figure 5 This is a schematic flowchart illustrating another cleaning equipment control method provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 5 As shown, the method may further include:

[0109] S501. If the stain type is the target stain type, spray the object to be cleaned with the first type of steam.

[0110] The target stain type can be predefined or pre-input by the user. For example, it can be a specific stain that is difficult to clean (such as oil stains, syrup, and other stubborn stains), or it can be any stain type set by the user based on their own cleaning requirements.

[0111] In this step, by identifying the type of stain as described in the aforementioned method embodiments, if the material type of the stain on the object to be cleaned is identified as the target stain type, then first type of steam can be sprayed onto the object to be cleaned. This first type of steam has a higher steam temperature and a larger steam volume. By spraying the first type of steam onto the object to be cleaned, the higher steam temperature and larger steam volume can be used to increase the steam cleaning intensity, quickly dissolve and penetrate the stain, accelerate the stain dissolution rate, and improve the cleaning effect.

[0112] S502. After the duration of spraying the first type of steam reaches the preset duration threshold, spray the second type of steam onto the object to be cleaned.

[0113] Specifically, the steam temperature of the first type of steam is greater than that of the second type of steam, and / or the steam volume of the first type of steam is greater than that of the second type of steam. This preset duration threshold can be set according to the user's actual needs, or it can be pre-configured in the cleaning equipment.

[0114] After the initial steam injection reaches a preset time threshold, it indicates that the high steam temperature and large steam volume have achieved rapid dissolution and penetration of the stain, signifying that the target stain type has been transformed into a more easily cleanable stain. At this point, subsequent cleaning with lower steam temperature and / or lower steam volume can also satisfy the needs of this more easily cleanable stain. Therefore, it is possible to switch to a second type of steam with lower steam temperature and / or lower steam volume for subsequent cleaning.

[0115] The method provided in this application, when the stain type is the target stain type, involves spraying a first type of steam onto the object to be cleaned. After the duration of spraying the first steam reaches a preset duration threshold, a second type of steam is sprayed onto the object to be cleaned. In this method, since the cleaning time corresponding to the preset duration threshold is reduced by using the first type of steam, the cleaning difficulty of the stain is lowered. Using the second type of steam for subsequent cleaning allows for steam that is more suitable for the cleaning difficulty of the current stain. Because the steam temperature of the second type of steam is lower than that of the first type of steam, and / or the steam volume of the second type of steam is less than that of the first type of steam, adjusting the steam temperature and / or steam volume according to the gradual decrease in stain cleaning difficulty, this multi-stage steam cleaning not only maintains a steam output commensurate with the cleaning difficulty of a single stain during cleaning, but also reduces resource consumption and improves the energy-saving effect of steam cleaning equipment.

[0116] Optionally, during the spraying of the first type of steam, the stain being cleaned can be re-tested, and the stain type can be re-determined based on the test results. If the severity of the stain is detected to have decreased to a preset standard, the spraying of the first type of steam can be stopped, and the second type of steam can be sprayed onto the object to be cleaned.

[0117] This method can perform secondary detection on the stain to more accurately determine whether the cleaning difficulty of the stain has decreased to a level suitable for cleaning with the second type of steam. If so, the first type of steam is stopped, and the second type of steam is sprayed onto the object to be cleaned for subsequent steam cleaning. This reduces the resource consumption of steam cleaning more accurately while ensuring the cleaning effect.

[0118] It should be understood that the above embodiments only use two-stage steam for steam cleaning. In addition, multi-stage cleaning strategies such as three-stage or four-stage steam cleaning can be set up according to actual needs. This application will not elaborate on this further.

[0119] In one possible implementation, the method may further include:

[0120] During the cleaning process, the cleaning equipment sprays steam corresponding to the steam parameters to be cleaned according to the user's pre-configured steam parameters. The steam parameters include at least one of temperature parameters and steam volume parameters.

[0121] Users can configure steam parameters by setting pre-defined parameters through an application associated with the cleaning equipment on their terminal device, or by directly operating the cleaning equipment via buttons, touchscreens, or other means. These methods allow users to set steam parameters according to their needs, controlling the cleaning equipment to generate steam corresponding to those parameters.

[0122] One possible implementation is that the user-configured steam parameters can be at least one of the temperature parameters, steam quantity parameters, etc., as mentioned above. For example, the user can set the temperature parameter to temperature 1 so that the cleaning equipment generates steam at temperature 1; or set the steam quantity parameter to steam quantity 2 so that the cleaning equipment generates steam at steam quantity 2, etc.

[0123] Another possible implementation is that the user-configured steam parameters can include steam level parameters. For different steam level parameters, at least one of the corresponding steam temperature and steam quantity will be different. Users can configure the corresponding steam level parameters for the cleaning equipment each time they use it for steam cleaning, so that the cleaning equipment generates steam corresponding to the steam level. For example, taking steam level parameters including steam level 1, steam level 2, and steam level 3 as an example, if the user-configured steam parameter is steam level 1, then the cleaning equipment will be controlled to generate steam with a temperature and quantity of 1 corresponding to steam level 1.

[0124] Optionally, the system can also receive steam enhancement commands from users to individually increase temperature parameters and / or steam quantity parameters. This allows for increased steam temperature and / or steam quantity based on the identified target steam demand, thereby further enhancing the steam's cleaning capabilities. For example, based on the steam enhancement command, the temperature parameter can be increased while the steam quantity parameter remains unchanged. This increases the heater's heating power while maintaining a constant water supply from the steam feed pump, resulting in higher steam temperature, greater dryness, and stronger penetration, thus further enhancing the steam's cleaning capabilities according to user needs.

[0125] The method provided in this application provides a way to clean an object by spraying steam corresponding to the steam level parameters pre-configured by the user. This allows the cleaning equipment to spray steam that meets the user's customized needs based on the steam level parameters, thereby increasing the freedom of the cleaning equipment in generating and spraying steam, satisfying the user's customized steam needs, and improving the user experience.

[0126] Figure 6 This is a schematic flowchart illustrating another cleaning equipment control method provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 6 As shown, the method may further include:

[0127] S601. During the process of controlling the cleaning equipment to clean the object to be cleaned by steam, the actual amount of steam heated by the cleaning equipment is obtained.

[0128] In this step, the actual steam heating capacity of the cleaning equipment can be obtained in real time by monitoring the operating status parameters of the heater. For example, the actual steam heating capacity of the cleaning equipment can be calculated based on the actual electrical parameters of the heater (such as heating voltage, heating current, heating power, etc.).

[0129] Alternatively, the actual steam heating amount of the cleaning equipment can be obtained in real time by monitoring the steam temperature generated by the equipment. For example, sensors such as heat flow sensors and calorimeters can be used to monitor the steam temperature of the steam generated by the cleaning equipment, thereby obtaining the actual steam heating amount.

[0130] S602. When the actual steam heating amount does not meet the expected heating demand, adjust the heating control signal.

[0131] When the actual steam heating capacity of the cleaning equipment is obtained by monitoring the operating status parameters of the heater, it can be determined whether the actual operating status parameters meet the expected heating demand by comparing the heater's operating status parameters corresponding to the expected heating demand and the actual operating status parameters of the heater. If the difference between the two is greater than or equal to a preset difference threshold, it indicates that the actual steam heating capacity does not meet the expected heating demand; if the difference is less than the preset difference threshold, it indicates that the actual steam heating capacity meets the expected heating demand.

[0132] If the actual steam heating amount does not meet the expected heating demand, the difference between the adjusted actual operating parameters and the operating parameters of the heater corresponding to the expected heating demand can be made less than a preset difference threshold, so that the actual steam heating amount meets the expected heating demand.

[0133] When the actual steam heating capacity of the cleaning equipment is obtained by monitoring the steam temperature generated by the cleaning equipment, a comparison can be made between the expected steam temperature corresponding to the expected heating demand and the monitored actual steam temperature to determine whether the actual steam temperature has reached the expected heating demand. If the difference between the two is greater than or equal to a preset temperature threshold, it indicates that the actual steam heating capacity does not meet the expected heating demand; if the difference is less than the preset temperature threshold, it indicates that the actual steam heating capacity meets the expected heating demand.

[0134] If the actual steam heating amount does not meet the expected heating demand, the operating status of the heater can be adjusted (such as continuously adjusting the heating power, heating voltage, heating current, etc. by a preset step size) until the difference between the monitored actual steam temperature and the expected steam temperature is less than the preset temperature threshold.

[0135] The method provided in this application embodiment obtains the actual steam heating amount of the cleaning equipment during the process of controlling the cleaning equipment to clean the object to be cleaned with steam. When the actual steam heating amount does not meet the expected heating demand, the heating control signal is adjusted to achieve real-time feedback adjustment of the actual steam heating amount. This reduces the problem of poor cleaning effect and efficiency caused by a large difference between the actual steam heating amount and the expected heating amount, thereby improving the stability of the cleaning equipment in generating steam corresponding to the target steam demand.

[0136] For example, the following provides a specific steam control strategy by classifying stains by severity:

[0137] Case 1: When the stain type is the first stain type with a severity less than or equal to the first threshold, spray steam with a temperature less than or equal to the first temperature threshold and a steam volume less than or equal to the first steam volume threshold onto the object to be cleaned.

[0138] The first threshold, the first temperature threshold, and the first steam quantity threshold can be set according to actual needs. Furthermore, the severity of the stain can be quantified by factors such as the cleaning difficulty and area of ​​the stain. This application does not impose any restrictions on the specific quantification methods, considerations, or specific threshold settings mentioned above.

[0139] When the stain type is classified as "First Stain" with a severity level less than or equal to a first threshold, the stain is characterized as a light stain, such as water stains or footprints. For light stains, cleaning can be achieved using steam with a lower temperature and a smaller volume. Using higher steam temperatures and larger volumes would result in resource waste. Therefore, the cleaning equipment should generate steam with a temperature less than or equal to a first temperature threshold and a steam volume less than or equal to a first steam volume threshold, and this steam should be sprayed onto the object to be cleaned.

[0140] Optionally, the steam heating and water supply of the cleaning equipment can be directly controlled to generate steam with a temperature less than or equal to a first temperature threshold and a steam volume less than or equal to a first steam volume threshold. Alternatively, the steam can be adjusted to the corresponding steam setting based on the temperature and volume of the steam at the first temperature threshold, as described above, to generate the corresponding steam. For example, it can be adjusted to an energy-saving mode or a gentle mode, which correspond to the steam setting with the temperature and volume of the steam at the first temperature threshold and the first steam volume threshold.

[0141] Case 2: When the stain type is the second stain type with a severity greater than the first threshold and less than or equal to the second threshold, spray steam with a temperature greater than the first temperature threshold and less than or equal to the second temperature threshold, and a steam volume greater than the first steam volume threshold and less than or equal to the second steam volume threshold onto the object to be cleaned.

[0142] When a stain is classified as a second-type stain with a severity greater than a first threshold but less than or equal to a second threshold, it is characterized as a moderate stain, such as light oil stains or beverage stains. For moderate stains, using steam at the same temperature and volume as for light stains is insufficient to effectively remove them and achieve the desired cleaning effect. Conversely, using excessively high-temperature or high-volume steam wastes energy and may damage the object being cleaned. Therefore, the cleaning equipment should generate steam with a temperature greater than a first temperature threshold but less than or equal to a second temperature threshold, and a steam volume greater than a first steam volume threshold but less than or equal to a second steam volume threshold, and this steam should be sprayed onto the object to be cleaned.

[0143] Optionally, the steam heating and water supply of the cleaning equipment can be directly controlled to generate steam with a temperature greater than a first temperature threshold and less than or equal to a second temperature threshold, and a steam volume greater than a first steam volume threshold and less than or equal to a second steam volume threshold. Alternatively, the steam level can be adjusted using the aforementioned multi-level adjustment method to the steam level corresponding to the steam with a temperature greater than the first temperature threshold and less than or equal to the second temperature threshold, and a steam volume greater than the first steam volume threshold and less than or equal to the second steam volume threshold, thereby generating the corresponding steam. For example, it can be adjusted to a standard mode, a normal mode, or other steam levels corresponding to the steam with a temperature greater than the first temperature threshold and less than or equal to the second temperature threshold, and a steam volume greater than the first steam volume threshold and less than or equal to the second steam volume threshold.

[0144] Case 3: When the stain type is a third stain type with a severity greater than the second threshold, spray steam with a temperature greater than the second temperature threshold and a steam volume greater than the second steam volume threshold onto the object to be cleaned.

[0145] When the stain type is classified as a third type, exceeding the second threshold in severity, it is characterized as a heavy stain. Examples include heavy oil stains, syrup stains, and stubborn chemical stains. For heavy stains, using steam with relatively low temperatures and low steam volumes, as used for light and moderate stains, is insufficient to break down the stain and achieve effective cleaning. Therefore, the ideal cleaning effect can be achieved by controlling the cleaning equipment to generate steam at a temperature and steam volume exceeding the second temperature threshold (e.g., high-temperature, high-volume steam) and spraying this steam onto the object to be cleaned.

[0146] Optionally, the steam heating and water supply of the cleaning equipment can be directly and precisely controlled to generate steam with a temperature and volume exceeding a second temperature threshold and a second steam volume threshold, respectively. Alternatively, the multi-level adjustment method described above can be used to adjust to the steam level corresponding to the steam temperature and volume exceeding the second temperature threshold and the second steam volume threshold, thereby generating the corresponding steam. For example, it can be adjusted to a powerful mode, a deep cleaning mode, or other steam levels corresponding to the steam temperature and volume exceeding the second temperature threshold and the second steam volume threshold.

[0152] In this step, the existence of a pre-configured steam level parameter can be determined based on the data location corresponding to the steam level parameter. If the value at this data location indicates that no steam level parameter is configured, then it is determined that no user-pre-configured steam level parameter exists; otherwise, a user-pre-configured steam level parameter exists.

[0153] If not, then execute steps S703, S704, and S706 in sequence; if yes, then execute steps S705 and S706 in sequence.
