Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of smart home technology, and more specifically to a cleaning base station and its cleaning control method. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing popularity of cleaning robots, cleaning base stations, as supporting equipment, can automatically clean the cleaning components (such as mops and rags) on the cleaning equipment. To meet the cleaning needs of different areas, some cleaning base stations support multiple types of cleaning solutions, such as those for kitchens, bathrooms, living rooms, and floors, to achieve targeted cleaning.

[0003] However, existing technologies have the following technical drawbacks: First, the task is interrupted when the dedicated cleaning solution runs out. When a specific cleaning solution (such as kitchen degreaser) runs out, existing cleaning base stations typically report an error and stop all cleaning work, remaining in standby mode until the user replenishes the corresponding dedicated cleaning solution. This directly causes the ongoing cleaning task to be interrupted, affecting cleaning efficiency and causing inconvenience to the user, resulting in a poor user experience. Second, there is a lack of backup solutions. Existing cleaning base stations are only equipped with the corresponding type of dedicated cleaning solution, without any backup solution or a cleaning mode degradation scheme. When the dedicated cleaning solution runs out, the user must immediately replenish it to restart the cleaning base station, making it impossible to temporarily replace the cleaning task through other means, resulting in extremely poor flexibility. Third, users may not replenish the cleaning solution in a timely manner. Even if the cleaning base station issues an alarm indicating insufficient cleaning solution, the user may not have stocked up on the corresponding dedicated cleaning solution in advance and needs to go to a physical store or online platform to purchase it, causing the cleaning base station to be unusable for a long time, further reducing the practicality and user experience of the cleaning base station.

[0004] Therefore, how to automatically switch to the backup cleaning solution when the dedicated cleaning solution runs out, so as to ensure the continuity of cleaning tasks, is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in this field. Summary of the Invention

[0013] In an optional embodiment, the alternative cleaning solution includes a general cleaning solution and water. The step of determining the alternative cleaning solution as the target cleaning solution includes: detecting a second remaining amount of the general cleaning solution; when the second remaining amount is higher than a second preset threshold, determining the general cleaning solution as the target cleaning solution; when the second remaining amount is lower than the second preset threshold, issuing a second replenishment reminder and / or determining water as the target cleaning solution.

[0014] In an optional embodiment, after determining clean water as the target cleaning solution, the cleaning control method further includes: continuously monitoring a first remaining amount of the specific cleaning solution and a second remaining amount of the general cleaning solution; when the first remaining amount is detected to be higher than a first preset threshold, determining the specific cleaning solution as the target cleaning solution; when the first remaining amount is detected to be lower than the first preset threshold and the second remaining amount is detected to be higher than the second preset threshold, determining the general cleaning solution as the target cleaning solution.

[0015] In an optional embodiment, the second replenishment reminder includes: the type of the alternative cleaning solution, the recommended replenishment quantity, and the issuance time.

[0016] In an optional embodiment, the second supplementary reminder is sent through one or more of the following methods: APP push, base station screen display, voice prompt, and SMS.

[0017] In an optional embodiment, identifying the type information of the cleaning component to be cleaned includes: determining the type information by identifying the fixed area being cleaned by the cleaning component or the material of the surface to be cleaned, wherein the fixed area includes different functional areas divided according to the type of stain; or determining the type information by identifying the dirt information of the cleaning component.

[0018] In an optional embodiment, the type information of the cleaning components includes at least two of the following: oil stain cleaning components, antibacterial cleaning components, maintenance cleaning components, and general cleaning components, wherein different types of cleaning components are associated with at least one specific cleaning liquid.

[0029] First, a brief introduction to the background technology of this invention: With the rapid development of smart home technology, cleaning robots and their supporting cleaning base stations have been widely used. Cleaning base stations are typically equipped with various specialized cleaning solutions to adapt to the cleaning needs of different types of cleaning components and improve cleaning effectiveness. However, the inventors of this application have discovered through long-term research and practical application that existing cleaning base stations will directly report an error and stop working when the specialized cleaning solution runs out, resulting in interrupted cleaning tasks, poor user experience, and insufficient practicality. It is evident that the aforementioned prior art lacks a backup plan after the task is interrupted when the specialized cleaning solution runs out; if the user does not replenish it in time, it will reduce the practicality and user experience of the cleaning base station.

[0030] In response, the present invention first provides a cleaning control method 100 for a cleaning base station. The cleaning base station can contain a variety of different types of cleaning fluids, including at least one dedicated cleaning fluid and at least one backup cleaning fluid. By setting a backup cleaning fluid in the cleaning base station, the present invention automatically switches to the backup cleaning fluid to perform the cleaning task when the dedicated cleaning fluid is insufficient or exhausted, effectively ensuring that the cleaning task is not interrupted, thereby at least partially solving the defects of the prior art.

[0031] You can refer to, for example Figure 1 As shown in the flowchart, the cleaning control method 100 may specifically include steps S110-S130, with each step working together to achieve intelligent matching and cleaning control of the cleaning solution.

[0032] Step S110: Identify the type information of the cleaning components to be cleaned; Step S120: Based on the type information and the remaining amount of each cleaning solution, determine the corresponding target cleaning solution from among the various cleaning solutions; and Step S130: Control the cleaning base station to use the target cleaning fluid to clean the cleaning components.

[0033] Through the above technical solution, the present invention provides a cleaning control method for a cleaning base station, which can automatically switch to a backup cleaning fluid as the target cleaning fluid when the remaining amount of certain dedicated cleaning fluid is insufficient or exhausted, thereby avoiding interruption of the cleaning task and improving the user experience and practicality of the cleaning base station. The beneficial effects of the above embodiments are as follows: by setting up a backup cleaning fluid in the cleaning base station, when the dedicated cleaning fluid is insufficient or exhausted, the cleaning base station can automatically switch to the backup cleaning fluid as the target cleaning fluid to continue performing the cleaning task without manual intervention from the user, effectively ensuring the continuity of the cleaning task, avoiding equipment idleness due to untimely replenishment of cleaning fluid, and significantly improving the user experience and practicality of the cleaning base station; at the same time, the backup plan also reduces the cost for users to store multiple dedicated cleaning fluids and improves the flexibility of equipment use.

[0034] Step S110 involves identifying the type of cleaning component to be cleaned. The core purpose of this step is to provide a reliable basis for subsequent cleaning solution matching and cleaning control by accurately identifying the type of the cleaning component. Specifically, the type identifier of the cleaning component to be cleaned can be obtained through an identification module (such as an RFID module, image recognition module, or pressure sensor module) installed on the cleaning base station, thereby determining its type information. This type information includes key information such as the cleaning component's purpose (kitchen-specific, bathroom-specific, living room-specific, maintenance-specific, etc.), material, and compatible dirt types, providing a precise basis for subsequent cleaning solution matching.

[0035] In some feasible embodiments, the type information of the cleaning components to be cleaned can be obtained by identifying fixed area markers or relevant information returned by the cleaning equipment. Specifically, step S110 may include at least one of the following two sub-steps: Step S111: Determine the type information by identifying the fixed area being cleaned by the cleaning component or the material of the surface to be cleaned.

[0036] The fixed areas are different functional areas divided according to the type of stain, such as but not limited to commonly used household cleaning areas such as kitchen, living room, and bathroom. The materials of the surfaces to be cleaned include but are not limited to common floor materials such as wood, stone, and flexible materials. Specifically, the cleaning trajectory recorded by the cleaning equipment (such as a cleaning robot) can be used to extract the area information corresponding to the cleaning trajectory and the preset surface material information of different areas. Then, by combining the correspondence between different areas, surface materials to be cleaned, and cleaning component types, the type information of the cleaning components to be cleaned can be determined.

[0037] The cleaning component information can include at least two of the following: oil stain cleaning components, antibacterial cleaning components, maintenance cleaning components, and general cleaning components. Oil stain cleaning components are specialized cleaning components designed for heavy oil stains in kitchens, such as wet mops or cloths. Their materials typically have strong oil absorption and removal capabilities, and they are mainly used to clean oil stains in kitchen areas. Antibacterial cleaning components are specialized cleaning components designed for bathrooms with more water stains and bacteria. Their materials typically have antibacterial properties, such as the addition of antibacterial silver ions, and they are mainly used to clean water stains and kill surface bacteria in bathroom areas. General cleaning components are designed for living rooms and other areas with more dust but no obvious stubborn dirt. They are made of soft materials and are mainly used to clean surface dust and small debris. Maintenance cleaning components, such as maintenance cloths, are typically made of softer materials that are less likely to abrade the floor. They are mainly used to clean and maintain floors (such as wooden or stone floors), achieving floor maintenance while cleaning and extending the floor's lifespan.

[0038] Furthermore, this embodiment boasts strong scalability: more types of cleaning solutions and cleaning components can be added according to actual cleaning needs, while simultaneously updating the correspondence between areas, surface materials to be cleaned, dirt information, and cleaning component types. This further expands the applicability of the cleaning control method and meets diverse cleaning scenario requirements. Through the fixed-condition identification method in step S111, rapid and accurate identification of cleaning component types can be achieved, adapting to routine cleaning scenarios and ensuring the efficiency and accuracy of cleaning solution matching. Step S112: Determine the type information by identifying the dirt information of the cleaning components.

[0039] The difference between this step and step S111 is that, instead of pre-classifying the types of cleaning components based on fixed areas, materials of surfaces to be cleaned, or other preset conditions, this step dynamically determines the type of cleaning component based on the actual dirt information after cleaning. This approach was adopted because the applicant found that actual cleaning environments are highly variable, and the dirt on cleaning components often overlaps, making accurate matching difficult to achieve using only preset conditions.

[0040] For example, if a cleaning component is originally a general-purpose cleaning component for the living room, but becomes heavily soiled with grease after a cleaning, it can be temporarily classified as a grease cleaner and used with a grease cleaner solution. Similarly, if a cleaning component is originally a kitchen-specific grease cleaner, but becomes heavily soiled with water after a cleaning, it can be temporarily classified as a disinfectant cleaner and used with a disinfectant cleaner solution. This dynamic identification method adapts to complex and varied cleaning scenarios, improving the flexibility and accuracy of cleaning solution matching. The dynamic dirt information identification method in step S112 flexibly addresses complex and varied cleaning scenarios, solves the problem of type matching deviation caused by cross-contamination of dirt, and improves the accuracy of cleaning solution matching.

[0041] The two identification methods described above can be used individually or in combination to adapt to different cleaning needs, thus improving the adaptability and practicality of the entire cleaning control method. The technical effect of step S110 is as follows: By accurately identifying the type of the component to be cleaned, the type of dirt and cleaning requirements of the component can be clearly defined, avoiding incorrect cleaning solution matching due to ambiguous type identification. This provides a foundation for accurate matching of cleaning solutions and optimization of cleaning modes, ensuring the targeted and accurate nature of cleaning control. Furthermore, it eliminates the need for users to manually input type information, improving operational convenience.

[0042] Step S120 involves determining the target cleaning solution from a variety of cleaning solutions based on the type information and the remaining amount of each solution. The core of this step is to achieve precise matching and intelligent switching of the target cleaning solution, minimizing interruptions to the cleaning task while ensuring cleaning effectiveness, and balancing targeted cleaning with continuous use.

[0043] In some feasible embodiments, a preset mapping table can be used to query the identified cleaning component type information to accurately determine the corresponding target cleaning fluid type (including dedicated cleaning fluid and alternative cleaning fluid). Specifically, step S120 may include the following sub-steps: Step S121: Determine the corresponding dedicated cleaning solution and alternative cleaning solution based on the type information and the preset mapping relationship table.

[0044] Different types of cleaning components correspond to different types of dedicated cleaning solutions, ensuring compatibility between the cleaning solutions and the cleaning components. Preferably, the same alternative cleaning solution is used for different types of cleaning components, which not only ensures targeted cleaning effects through dedicated cleaning solutions but also provides a backup plan through alternative cleaning solutions, laying the foundation for subsequent cleaning solution switching.

[0045] In some feasible embodiments, the correspondence between different types of cleaning components and dedicated cleaning solutions includes at least one of the following: the dedicated cleaning solution for the oil stain cleaning component is an oil stain cleaning solution, and the alternative cleaning solution is a general-purpose cleaning solution. The oil stain cleaning solution includes surfactants and / or enzyme preparations, which can quickly decompose oil stains and enhance the degreasing effect; the dedicated cleaning solution for the antibacterial cleaning component is an antibacterial cleaning solution, and the alternative cleaning solution is a general-purpose cleaning solution. The antibacterial cleaning solution includes antibacterial agents and / or mold removers, which can effectively kill bacteria, remove mold stains, and clean water stains; the general-purpose cleaning component corresponds to a general-purpose cleaning solution; the dedicated cleaning solution for the maintenance cleaning component is a maintenance cleaning solution, and the alternative cleaning solution is a general-purpose cleaning solution. The maintenance cleaning solution includes floor conditioners and / or carpet conditioners, which can achieve maintenance effects while cleaning floors and carpets, extending their service life.

[0046] As can be seen, the aforementioned alternative cleaning solutions are all general-purpose cleaning solutions. Their mild composition and core characteristic of a neutral pH value make them suitable not only for routine dust cleaning but also for all cleaning components. They do not damage the cloth material of cleaning components and are compatible with various types of cleaning components. They can serve as a unified backup solution for various specialized cleaning solutions, thereby reducing the preparation cost of backup cleaning solutions. The main components of the general-purpose cleaning solution include surfactants, water, and trace amounts of preservatives. Surfactants account for 5-10%, primarily providing basic cleaning power and quickly breaking down everyday dust and light oil stains. Water accounts for 90-95%, acting as a solvent to dilute the surfactants, ensuring the cleaning solution is mild and non-irritating, while also reducing the overall cost. Preservatives are added in trace amounts to extend the shelf life of the cleaning solution, preventing deterioration due to long-term storage and ensuring the safety and effectiveness of the cleaning solution.

[0047] By setting all alternative cleaning solutions as universal cleaning solutions, the standard for backup cleaning solutions is unified. There is no need to configure separate backup cleaning solutions for different types of proprietary cleaning solutions, which greatly simplifies the cleaning solution storage structure of the cleaning base station, reduces the configuration cost and management difficulty of cleaning solutions, and ensures that all cleaning components can be cleaned by using universal cleaning solutions when proprietary cleaning solutions are insufficient, thus ensuring the continuity of cleaning tasks and improving the practicality and ease of operation of the cleaning base station.

[0048] Of course, different backup cleaning solutions can be set according to actual needs, and even substituted for each other in extreme cases. This invention does not limit this. Although this method may deviate to some extent from the original optimal cleaning formula for various cleaning components, making it difficult to achieve the best cleaning, sterilization, or maintenance effect corresponding to the specific cleaning solution, this method can maximize the range of compatible alternatives for cleaning solutions. In extreme situations where multiple types of cleaning solutions are in short supply and no regular backup solutions are available, basic cleaning operations can still be maintained by substituting for each other, ensuring that the cleaning task is not forced to be interrupted. This method is suitable for situations where cleaning solutions are available even in extreme circumstances.

[0049] The benefits of this step are as follows: By using a preset mapping table, the cleaning components and cleaning solutions can be quickly and accurately matched without manual intervention, thus determining the corresponding exclusive cleaning solution and alternative cleaning solution and improving the efficiency of cleaning solution matching; at the same time, it clarifies the adaptation scheme of different cleaning components, avoiding problems such as incomplete cleaning and component damage caused by the wrong cleaning solution, and taking into account both cleaning effect and component protection.

[0050] Step S122: Detect the first remaining amount of the dedicated cleaning solution.

[0051] This step requires accurate detection of the remaining amount of the dedicated cleaning solution to provide accurate data support for subsequent cleaning solution switching. It avoids incorrect switching due to errors in judging the remaining amount (such as mistakenly switching to a substitute solution when the cleaning solution is sufficient, affecting the cleaning effect) or failure to switch in time (such as not switching after the cleaning solution is used up, causing task interruption). It ensures the timeliness and accuracy of cleaning solution switching, and at the same time, it allows users to keep track of the cleaning solution consumption and prepare for replenishment in advance.

[0052] There are three main methods for residual liquid detection, each with different implementation methods and accuracies: The first is liquid level sensor detection, which uses a float, capacitor, or ultrasonic sensor to detect the liquid level in real time and convert it into residual liquid data. This method has high accuracy, accurately obtains the residual liquid with small errors, and is suitable for scenarios with high detection accuracy requirements. The second is weight sensor detection, which weighs the cleaning liquid container and calculates the residual liquid based on the cleaning liquid density. Its accuracy is moderate, which can meet daily use needs, and its cost is lower than that of liquid level sensors, making it suitable for conventional use scenarios. The third is cumulative usage detection, which presets the amount of cleaning liquid consumed each time and calculates the residual liquid by accumulating the number of uses. This method has the lowest cost and is simple to operate, but its accuracy is lower, making it suitable for simple scenarios where high detection accuracy is not required.

[0053] Step S123: When the first remaining amount is higher than the first preset threshold, the exclusive cleaning solution is identified as the target cleaning solution.

[0054] This step sets a first preset threshold to clarify the availability standard of the dedicated cleaning solution, ensuring that the dedicated cleaning solution is used first when there is sufficient cleaning solution, thus guaranteeing the targeted cleaning effect; at the same time, it avoids running out of cleaning solution midway due to insufficient remaining solution, further ensuring the continuity of the cleaning task and balancing cleaning effect and usage stability.

[0055] The specific setting of the first preset threshold can be reasonably adjusted according to the different capacities of the cleaning fluid container to ensure that the remaining cleaning fluid is sufficient for at least several cleaning needs, while allowing sufficient time for replenishment reminders. For example, when the cleaning fluid container capacity is 500ml, the switching threshold is set to 25ml, which is 5% of the total container capacity, ensuring at least 2-3 cleanings. When the container capacity is 1000ml, the switching threshold is set to 50ml, also 5% of the total capacity, ensuring at least 3-5 cleanings, suitable for larger capacity cleaning fluid containers, balancing continuous use and timely replenishment reminders. When the container capacity is 2000ml, the switching threshold is set to 100ml, which is 5% of the total capacity, ensuring at least 5-10 cleanings, suitable for large-capacity base stations, reducing the frequency of cleaning fluid replenishment and improving the user experience.

[0056] Furthermore, in feasible embodiments, to achieve separate management of multiple cleaning solutions and avoid the insufficiency of a single cleaning solution affecting the normal use of other cleaning solutions, thereby improving the flexibility and stability of base station use, multiple first preset thresholds can be set. That is, different types of dedicated cleaning solutions can correspond to different first preset thresholds, thus adapting to the consumption rate and cleaning needs of different dedicated cleaning solutions, further improving the accuracy of cleaning solution management. For example, if the oil-stained cleaning solution is consumed quickly, its first preset threshold can be appropriately increased to ensure sufficient availability.

[0057] The following provides a specific scenario example: For instance, a base station supports three types of cleaning solutions: oil-based, antibacterial, and general-purpose. The oil-based cleaning solution currently has 8ml remaining, suitable for kitchen cloths. Due to insufficient remaining liquid, it has switched to the general-purpose cleaning solution to ensure uninterrupted cleaning of the kitchen cloths. The antibacterial cleaning solution currently has 50ml remaining, suitable for bathroom cloths, and is sufficient for normal use, ensuring effective disinfection and cleaning in the bathroom. The general-purpose cleaning solution currently has 200ml remaining, serving as a backup solution, and is sufficient to ensure the continuity of various cleaning tasks. The effect of this scenario is that switching only occurs when the oil-based cleaning solution is insufficient; other types of cleaning solutions are unaffected. This allows for independent management and precise switching of multiple cleaning solutions, catering to the cleaning needs of different scenarios and effectively improving the flexibility and practicality of base station use.

[0058] Step S124: When the first remaining amount is lower than the first preset threshold, issue a first replenishment reminder and / or identify the alternative cleaning solution as the target cleaning solution.

[0059] The first replenishment reminder includes: the type of dedicated cleaning solution, the type of alternative cleaning solution, the recommended replenishment quantity, and the notification time. This ensures users clearly understand the cleaning solution information needed, prioritize replenishment, and determine the appropriate quantity, avoiding errors or insufficient replenishment. The recommended replenishment quantity can be reasonably set based on the cleaning solution container capacity and daily consumption rate, ensuring that replenishment meets usage needs for a period of time. Furthermore, the first replenishment reminder can be sent through one or more of the following methods: app push notification, base station screen display, voice prompts, and SMS, adapting to different user scenarios to ensure timely delivery of reminder information and prevent untimely cleaning solution replenishment due to inadequate reminders. Different reminder channels have different applicable scenarios: app push notifications are suitable for remote reminders, allowing users to receive real-time reminders of low cleaning solution levels when they are not at home, facilitating advance replenishment planning; base station screen displays are suitable for local reminders, allowing users at home to visually see information about low cleaning solution levels and perform timely replenishment; voice prompts can be integrated with smart speakers to remind users via voice broadcast, eliminating the need for users to actively check and effectively improving the convenience of reminders.

[0060] The beneficial effects of this step are as follows: when the dedicated cleaning fluid is insufficient, a replenishment reminder is issued to promptly inform the user of the cleaning fluid consumption, so that the user can store and replenish it in advance and avoid long-term shortage of cleaning fluid; at the same time, it automatically switches to the alternative cleaning fluid to ensure that the cleaning task is not interrupted, completely solving the defect of the existing technology that stops working when the cleaning fluid is used up, taking into account both user reminders and task continuity, and significantly improving user experience and base station practicality.

[0061] In another implementation, to achieve accurate and hierarchical reminders, different remaining amounts can correspond to different first preset thresholds and reminder methods. This allows users to judge the urgency of the cleaning fluid based on the reminder level and rationally schedule replenishment time. For example, specific threshold levels and corresponding actions are as follows: Level 1 warning corresponds to a remaining amount of 20%. At this time, only an APP reminder of "cleaning fluid is about to run out" is sent, informing the user in advance that the cleaning fluid is running low and allowing the user sufficient time to replenish; Level 2 warning corresponds to a remaining amount of 10%. At this time, an APP reminder combined with preparation to switch to a backup cleaning fluid is used to strengthen the reminder and inform the user that they will soon switch to an alternative cleaning fluid, allowing the user to prepare mentally; The switching threshold corresponds to a remaining amount of 5%. At this time, the base station automatically switches to a general cleaning fluid to ensure that the cleaning task is not interrupted, while continuously sending replenishment reminders; When the remaining amount of cleaning fluid is 0%, that is, completely exhausted, the cleaning mode is downgraded to water rinsing to provide a minimum cleaning guarantee for the cleaning task and avoid complete interruption of the cleaning task.

[0062] The beneficial effects of this implementation method are as follows: by setting graded thresholds and corresponding reminder methods, the remaining cleaning fluid can be managed in a tiered manner. Users can quickly judge the urgency of the cleaning fluid according to the reminder level, avoiding users ignoring the need to replenish due to overly simplistic reminders. At the same time, different remaining fluid levels correspond to different actions, which not only allows time for replenishment in advance but also ensures that the cleaning task can continue to proceed under any circumstances, further improving the user experience and the reliability of the base station.

[0063] In other feasible embodiments, in order to achieve automatic recovery after switching cleaning solutions, improve ease of use, and avoid the need for users to manually switch back to the dedicated cleaning solution after replenishing it, the cleaning control method 100 of the present invention further includes the following sub-steps after determining the alternative cleaning solution as the target cleaning solution in step S124: Step S125: Continuously monitor the first remaining amount.

[0064] This step continuously monitors the initial remaining amount of the dedicated cleaning fluid using the sensors set up above. It can capture changes in the remaining amount of cleaning fluid in real time after replenishment, providing timely and accurate data support for the subsequent automatic resumption of use of the dedicated cleaning fluid. There is no need for users to manually trigger the monitoring, which improves the intelligence and convenience of base station use.

[0065] Step S126: When the first remaining amount is detected to be higher than the first preset threshold, the exclusive cleaning solution is identified as the target cleaning solution.

[0066] Specific scenario example: When a user replenishes the oil stain cleaning solution to the full level, the base station detects in real time through its built-in sensor that the remaining amount of the oil stain cleaning solution is higher than its corresponding first preset threshold. It then automatically switches the target cleaning solution back to the oil stain cleaning solution and pushes a notification to the user through the APP: "Kitchen-specific cleaning solution has been replenished and is now usable again." This allows the user to clearly understand the cleaning solution switching status and improves the transparency of usage.

[0067] This step allows for automatic refilling of the dedicated cleaning solution without requiring manual switching by the user, reducing user costs. It also ensures that the dedicated cleaning solution can be used immediately after it is replenished, guaranteeing targeted cleaning results and balancing ease of use with cleaning quality.

[0068] In other feasible embodiments, when the alternative cleaning fluid only includes a general-purpose cleaning fluid, in order to avoid the cleaning task being interrupted due to insufficient general-purpose cleaning fluid, the step S124 of determining the alternative cleaning fluid as the target cleaning fluid may specifically include the following sub-steps: Step S1241: Detect the second remaining amount of general cleaning fluid.

[0069] In this step, the remaining amount of the general-purpose cleaning fluid used as a substitute cleaning fluid is checked to understand the consumption of the general-purpose cleaning fluid in advance. This avoids the inability to perform the substitute function due to insufficient general-purpose cleaning fluid, ensures the reliability of the backup plan, provides dual data support for subsequent cleaning fluid switching, and further ensures the continuity of cleaning tasks.

[0070] Step S1242: When the second remaining amount is higher than the second preset threshold, the general cleaning fluid is determined as the target cleaning fluid.

[0071] In this step, by setting a second preset threshold, the usability standard of the general cleaning solution is clarified, ensuring that it can be stably used as an alternative cleaning solution when there is a sufficient amount of general cleaning solution, guaranteeing that the basic cleaning effect meets the standard, and avoiding the use up during the cleaning process due to insufficient remaining general cleaning solution, thus further consolidating the reliability of the backup plan.

[0072] Step S1243: When the second remaining amount is lower than the second preset threshold, a second replenishment reminder is issued.

[0073] The second preset threshold can be set according to the principles of the first preset threshold, or reasonably based on the capacity of the general cleaning solution container, to ensure that the general cleaning solution can meet the cleaning needs at least multiple times and allow sufficient replenishment time. For example, the second replenishment reminder includes: the type of alternative cleaning solution, the recommended replenishment quantity, and the issuance time, ensuring that users clearly understand the information of the backup cleaning solution that needs to be replenished, the amount to replenish, and the urgency of replenishment, avoiding insufficient or incorrect replenishment. The second replenishment reminder is issued through one or more of the following methods: APP push, base station screen display, voice prompt, and SMS, consistent with the reminder method of the first replenishment reminder, adapting to different user scenarios, ensuring that the reminder information can be delivered to the user in a timely manner, and avoiding the interruption of cleaning tasks due to untimely replenishment of backup cleaning solution. In addition, considering that the first preset threshold supports multi-level warnings, the second preset threshold can also support multi-level warnings, which will not be elaborated here.

[0074] In other feasible embodiments, when the alternative cleaning solution includes general cleaning solution and water, to further improve the backup plan, realize multi-level degradation of the cleaning solution, and ensure that the cleaning task is not interrupted, after detecting the second remaining amount of general cleaning solution in step S1241, the following sub-steps may be specifically included: Step S1244: When the second remaining amount is lower than the second preset threshold, issue a second replenishment reminder and / or identify clean water as the target cleaning solution.

[0075] In this step, when the general cleaning fluid is insufficient, a replenishment reminder is issued to inform the user to replenish it in time. At the same time, clean water is used as the final backup plan to realize the multi-level degradation of the cleaning fluid. This ensures that even if the general cleaning fluid is exhausted, the cleaning task can be completed with clean water, completely avoiding the interruption of the cleaning task, and giving the user enough time to replenish the cleaning fluid, thereby maximizing the practicality and reliability of the base station.

[0076] As seen in the above embodiments, in order to clarify the priority of cleaning fluid use and ensure a balance between cleaning effect and task continuity, this embodiment sets a three-level cleaning fluid priority. The cleaning fluid types and descriptions corresponding to each priority level are as follows: The first priority is dedicated cleaning fluid, which is precisely matched with the type of cleaning component and has the best cleaning effect. It is given priority to ensure cleaning quality. The second priority is general cleaning fluid, which is suitable for all rags and has a moderate cleaning effect. It serves as the first backup solution for dedicated cleaning fluid. The third priority is water, which can only provide the minimum cleaning guarantee and has a moderate cleaning effect. It serves as the final backup solution, and its core function is to ensure that the cleaning task is not interrupted. Based on the above priority settings, this implementation method can achieve multi-level degradation of cleaning fluid, ensuring that the cleaning task can continue even when multiple cleaning fluids are insufficient. A specific scenario example is as follows: When both the dedicated cleaning fluid and the general cleaning fluid are insufficient, the system checks the dedicated cleaning fluid (first priority) first, finding it insufficient, and then attempts to switch to the general cleaning fluid (second priority). If the general cleaning fluid (second priority) is also insufficient, the system further downgrades to clean water (third priority). Since there is sufficient clean water remaining in the third priority, the base station will use clean water for cleaning, ensuring the cleaning task continues. Then, a reminder message corresponding to the above scenario is displayed: "Cleaning fluid is exhausted. Clean water will be used for this cleaning. Please replenish promptly." This reminder can be sent through the aforementioned APP push notifications, base station screen displays, etc., clearly informing the user of the current cleaning fluid status and cleaning method, while also reminding the user to replenish the dedicated and general cleaning fluids in a timely manner.

[0077] Correspondingly, to achieve automatic recovery after water is selected as the target cleaning solution and to avoid the need for manual switching after the user replenishes the cleaning solution, after water is determined as the target cleaning solution in step S1244, the cleaning control method 100 further includes the following sub-steps: Step S1245: Continuously monitor the first remaining amount of the dedicated cleaning solution and the second remaining amount of the general cleaning solution.

[0078] This step continuously monitors the remaining levels of both the dedicated cleaning fluid and the general cleaning fluid, capturing the replenishment status of both fluids in real time. This provides accurate data support for automatically switching back to the corresponding cleaning fluid based on priority, eliminating the need for manual monitoring by the user and improving the intelligence and ease of use of the base station.

[0079] Step S1246: When the first remaining amount is detected to be higher than the first preset threshold, the exclusive cleaning fluid is identified as the target cleaning fluid.

[0080] In this step, the dedicated cleaning solution is restored first to ensure that the best cleaning effect is restored immediately after the dedicated cleaning solution is replenished. This is in line with the principle of prioritizing cleaning solutions and does not require manual operation by the user, thus improving ease of use.

[0081] Step S1247: When the first remaining amount is detected to be lower than the first preset threshold and the second remaining amount is higher than the second preset threshold, the general cleaning fluid is identified as the target cleaning fluid.

[0082] In this step, when the dedicated cleaning solution is insufficient but the general cleaning solution is sufficient, it automatically switches back to the general cleaning solution. This ensures that the cleaning effect is better than that of water, conforms to the cleaning solution priority setting, avoids unnecessary downgrading, and balances cleaning quality and continuous use.

[0083] For example, in a certain scenario, if the user simply fills the general-purpose cleaning solution to the top, the base station, through its built-in sensor, detects in real time that the remaining amount of the general-purpose cleaning solution is higher than its corresponding second preset threshold. It automatically switches the target cleaning solution back to the general-purpose cleaning solution and sends a notification to the user via the app: "Kitchen-specific cleaning solution not replenished, general-purpose cleaning solution replenished, downgraded for use," thus achieving automatic restoration of the general-purpose cleaning solution. If the user fills the grease-specific cleaning solution to the top, the base station, through its built-in sensor, detects in real time that the remaining amount of the grease-specific cleaning solution is higher than its corresponding first preset threshold. Regardless of whether the general-purpose cleaning solution has been replenished, it automatically switches the target cleaning solution back to the grease-specific cleaning solution and sends a notification to the user via the app: "Kitchen-specific cleaning solution replenished, restored for use," thus achieving automatic restoration of the cleaning solution and improving the user experience.

[0084] In summary, the technical effects of step S120 include: achieving precise matching and intelligent switching of cleaning fluids; ensuring the compatibility of cleaning fluids and cleaning components through a preset mapping table; and achieving refined management of cleaning fluids by combining residual detection and grading thresholds. Through the setting of backup cleaning fluids and multi-level degradation schemes, the defect of existing technologies where operation stops when the cleaning fluid is depleted is completely resolved, ensuring uninterrupted cleaning tasks. The replenishment reminder and automatic recovery functions improve user convenience and reduce user cleaning fluid management costs. Furthermore, the design of separate management of multiple cleaning fluids and grading reminders further enhances the practicality, intelligence level, and user experience of the base station, providing technical support for the stable and efficient operation of the cleaning base station.

[0085] In step S130, the cleaning base station can be controlled to use the target cleaning fluid to clean the cleaning components. The core purpose of this step is to accurately supply the target cleaning fluid determined in step S120 to the cleaning area, perform targeted cleaning based on the type and requirements of the cleaning components, ensure that the cleaning components are thoroughly cleaned, and achieve coordinated control of cleaning fluid supply and cleaning operation to avoid problems such as waste of cleaning fluid or incomplete cleaning, thus providing core execution guarantee for the implementation of the entire cleaning control process.

[0086] In some feasible embodiments, the hardware structure of the cleaning base station includes a cleaning fluid supply device and multiple cleaning fluid containers, which work together to achieve precise supply of cleaning fluid. The cleaning fluid supply device is the control core of the entire cleaning fluid supply process, used to control the opening or closing of any cleaning fluid container, enabling the switching supply of different cleaning fluids. Each cleaning fluid container is independently set up, holding different types of cleaning fluid, and when open, each container can accurately deliver its internal cleaning fluid to the cleaning area, ensuring that the cleaning fluid can directly act on the components to be cleaned, improving cleaning efficiency.

[0087] In some feasible embodiments, the specific structure of the cleaning fluid supply device can take any of the following forms: The first type is a cleaning fluid supply device that includes multiple supply channels, each of which is connected to a cleaning fluid container. By controlling the switching action of the switching valve or controlling the start and stop of the independent pump corresponding to each supply channel, a specific target cleaning fluid can be selectively delivered to the cleaning area, thereby realizing the switching supply of different cleaning fluids.

[0088] The second type is a multi-way valve for the cleaning fluid supply device. By switching the valve core of the multi-way valve, different cleaning fluid containers can be connected to the cleaning area, thereby delivering the target cleaning fluid to the cleaning area.

[0089] It should be noted that the supply channel setup is not limited to multiple completely separate channels. That is, it is not necessary to have independent supply channels that correspond exactly to the number of cleaning fluid containers. A shared channel approach can also be used to deliver the cleaning fluid. For example, multiple cleaning fluid containers can be connected to a shared supply channel by using three-way valves, four-way valves, or other multi-way valves. By switching between these valves, different cleaning fluids can be selectively delivered. This simplifies the internal structure of the cleaning base station, reduces hardware costs, and enables precise switching and supply of cleaning fluids to adapt to different cleaning needs.

[0090] Specifically, once the target cleaning solution is identified, the control module of the cleaning base station issues a control command to activate the cleaning solution supply device, switching it to the supply channel corresponding to the target cleaning solution. This ensures the precise delivery of the target cleaning solution to the cleaning area. Simultaneously, based on the type of cleaning component, the cleaning mode (such as water temperature, cleaning duration, and cleaning intensity) can be adjusted to ensure optimal parameters are used for cleaning, achieving thorough cleaning of the components. Crucially, this involves automatically switching the cleaning solution supply channel to ensure accurate and efficient delivery of the target cleaning solution to the cleaning area, preventing contamination from mixing different types of cleaning solutions. In some feasible embodiments, the target cleaning solution can be precisely delivered to the cleaning area by controlling the cleaning solution supply device, thereby executing the cleaning operation.

[0091] Specifically, step S130 may include the following two sub-steps: Step S131: Determine the corresponding target cleaning fluid container based on the type of target cleaning fluid.

[0092] Since the cleaning base station contains various types of cleaning fluids, and each type of cleaning fluid corresponds to an independent cleaning fluid container, once the type of the target cleaning fluid is determined, the container corresponding to that target cleaning fluid can be directly identified. This provides a clear container reference for the subsequent supply of cleaning fluid, ensuring the accuracy of the supply and avoiding confusion between different types of cleaning fluids.

[0093] Step S132: Control the cleaning fluid supply device to open the target cleaning fluid container.

[0094] After identifying the target cleaning fluid container, a control command is issued through the control module of the cleaning base station to drive the cleaning fluid supply device to open the switch of the target cleaning fluid container, allowing the target cleaning fluid to flow out smoothly and preparing for subsequent delivery to the cleaning area; at the same time, it ensures that other non-target cleaning fluid containers are in the closed state to avoid mixing of different types of cleaning fluids, prevent the cleaning fluid components from affecting each other, and ensure the cleaning effect of the cleaning fluid.

[0095] The technical benefits of this step are as follows: By controlling the cleaning base station to perform cleaning with the target cleaning solution, the cleaning effect of the cleaning components can be significantly improved, ensuring that different types of cleaning components can be thoroughly cleaned, while avoiding damage to cleaning components and waste of resources caused by over-cleaning; in addition, no manual intervention from the user is required in the selection and supply of cleaning solution, which improves the automation level of the cleaning base station and the user experience.

[0096] In some feasible embodiments, the present invention can achieve the switching of target cleaning fluid during continuous cleaning of multiple cleaning components. This embodiment is a further extension of the core control method of this application, focusing on solving the technical pain points of the prior art where manual switching of cleaning fluid is required when cleaning multiple different types of cleaning components continuously, which is cumbersome and prone to interruption. It fully adapts to the actual scenario of continuous cleaning of multiple cleaning components, realizes automatic switching and backup guarantee when cleaning multiple cloths continuously, and further improves the automation, convenience and practicality of cleaning control, which is in line with the core design concept of "intelligent switching and uninterrupted task" of this application.

[0097] The core improvement of this embodiment lies in the automatic identification, sequential switching, and backup of the target cleaning fluid for scenarios involving continuous cleaning of multiple cleaning components of different types. This ensures that each cleaning component can be matched with a suitable cleaning fluid (specific priority, backup). At the same time, it enables the cleaning of multiple components to proceed without interference and continuously without manual intervention from the user, thus meeting the technical characteristics of "precise matching, intelligent control, and continuous guarantee" of this application.

[0098] In some feasible embodiments, during the process of identifying the type information of the cleaning components to be cleaned in step S110, if multiple cleaning components of different types are identified, the cleaning control method 100 of the present invention may further include the following steps: Step S141: When it is identified that the cleaning components to be cleaned are of multiple different types, the cleaning order of the multiple cleaning components is determined.

[0099] Specifically, the cleaning order of multiple cleaning components can be determined according to preset cleaning sequence rules (such as from heavy to light dirt, priority of cleaning areas, etc.). For example, the cleaning components with heavy oil stains can be cleaned first, followed by the general cleaning components with lighter dirt, and finally the sterilization cleaning components. This ensures that the switching of cleaning solution and cleaning mode is more reasonable and improves the overall cleaning efficiency.

[0100] Step S142: According to the cleaning sequence, continuously switch the target cleaning solution in sequence.

[0101] That is, according to the determined cleaning sequence, the corresponding target cleaning solution is matched to each cleaning component in turn. This process must follow the core rule of "if the dedicated cleaning solution is sufficient, it is used first, and if it is insufficient, it is switched to the backup cleaning solution" and the switching is completed automatically. In this way, multiple cleaning components can be continuously and automatically cleaned without the need for manual intervention by the user.

[0102] Specifically, the execution process of this step is deeply adapted to the cleaning fluid supply control logic of this application, and includes: after a cleaning component is cleaned, the controller of the cleaning base station automatically triggers the identification of the type of the next cleaning component to be cleaned (reusing the identification module and identification logic of step S110), and quickly determines the exclusive cleaning fluid corresponding to the component; then, the controller detects the remaining amount of the exclusive cleaning fluid (reusing the remaining amount detection device and detection logic of step S122) to determine whether the usage conditions are met; if the remaining amount is sufficient, the exclusive cleaning fluid is determined as the target cleaning fluid; if the remaining amount is insufficient, it automatically switches to a general cleaning fluid (or other preset backup cleaning fluid) as the target cleaning fluid; finally, the controller sends a control command to the cleaning fluid supply device to switch to the supply channel corresponding to the target cleaning fluid. After the switch is completed, the next cleaning component is immediately subjected to the adapted cleaning operation (preferably, the cleaning mode, such as cleaning duration, intensity, etc. can also be adjusted synchronously), and so on, until all cleaning components are cleaned. The entire process is closed-loop controlled to ensure accurate switching and continuous cleaning.

[0103] Based on the core technology of this application, the specific execution process in a real-world cleaning scenario is illustrated with an example: The process involves sequentially cleaning the oil stain cleaning component, the general cleaning component, and the antibacterial cleaning component, achieving continuous cleaning of three different types of cloths. This specific execution process perfectly aligns with the cleaning control method of this application, including: The first step is to clean the oil stain cleaning components: After the controller identifies the type of component, it determines that the corresponding exclusive cleaning fluid is an oil stain cleaning fluid. After confirming that there is enough fluid by checking the remaining amount, it controls the cleaning base station to supply the oil stain cleaning fluid and performs cleaning in a cleaning mode adapted to the oil stain scenario. If there is not enough oil stain cleaning fluid in the scenario, it will automatically switch to general cleaning fluid to perform cleaning.

[0104] The second step involves the controller automatically identifying the next general-purpose cleaning component after the oil stain cleaning component has finished cleaning. It then determines that the target cleaning fluid is the general-purpose cleaning fluid and controls the cleaning fluid supply device to switch the cleaning fluid channel (from oil stain cleaning fluid to general-purpose cleaning fluid) to prevent mixing of the two types of cleaning fluid. Next, the general-purpose cleaning component is cleaned: general-purpose cleaning fluid is supplied, and cleaning is performed in a general-purpose cleaning mode to ensure it meets the cleaning needs for floating dust and small debris. If there is insufficient general-purpose cleaning fluid in this scenario, it will automatically switch to clean water for cleaning. Third, after the general cleaning components are cleaned, the controller automatically identifies the next sterilization cleaning component, determines that the corresponding dedicated cleaning solution is sterilization cleaning solution, and after detecting that there is sufficient remaining solution, controls the cleaning solution supply device to switch the cleaning solution channel again (from general cleaning solution to sterilization cleaning solution); then the sterilization cleaning component is cleaned: sterilization cleaning solution is supplied, and cleaning is performed in sterilization cleaning mode to effectively kill bacteria and remove water stains, completing the continuous cleaning of all cleaning components; if both sterilization cleaning solution and general cleaning solution are insufficient in this scenario, clean water will continue to be used for cleaning.

[0105] The beneficial effects of this embodiment include: automatically identifying the type information of multiple cleaning components of different kinds, automatically determining the cleaning sequence, and automatically switching the cleaning solution and cleaning mode in sequence, without requiring manual intervention from the user, greatly simplifying user operation and reducing user burden; improving cleaning efficiency, realizing continuous cleaning of multiple cleaning components, and ensuring that the cleaning effect of each cleaning component meets the standard; strong adaptability, adaptable to continuous cleaning scenarios of any number and type of cleaning components, and compatible with backup switching scenarios when cleaning solution is insufficient, meeting diverse cleaning needs and further expanding the scope of application of the cleaning control method of this application.

[0106] In summary, this embodiment can achieve precise matching and switching of the target cleaning solution. Its core process involves performing the following steps in sequence: Step S210: Obtain the type of component to be cleaned. Using the identification device built into the base station, accurately obtain the type information of the cleaning component to be cleaned. This type information includes, but is not limited to, kitchen-specific cleaning components, bathroom-specific cleaning components, and living room-specific cleaning components, providing an accurate basis for subsequent cleaning solution matching.

[0107] Step S220: Determine the corresponding dedicated cleaning solution. Based on the identified cleaning component type and the preset mapping relationship, determine the dedicated cleaning solution type that is compatible with that cleaning component type to ensure the compatibility between the cleaning solution and the cleaning component and guarantee targeted cleaning effect.

[0108] Step S230: Detect the remaining amount of the dedicated cleaning fluid. The remaining amount of the dedicated cleaning fluid is acquired in real time using the remaining fluid detection device configured in the base station, providing reliable data support for subsequent cleaning fluid usage judgment and switching.

[0109] Step S240: Determine if the remaining amount of dedicated cleaning fluid is sufficient. The specific judgment criteria and corresponding actions are as follows: When the remaining amount of dedicated cleaning fluid is higher than the preset threshold, it is determined that the remaining amount is sufficient and the status is normal. At this time, the base station will prioritize using the dedicated cleaning fluid to perform the cleaning task; when the remaining amount of dedicated cleaning fluid is less than or equal to the preset threshold, it is determined that the fluid is insufficient. At this time, the base station will trigger the cleaning fluid switching mechanism to switch to the backup cleaning fluid to ensure the continuous progress of the cleaning task. It should be noted that during the cleaning fluid switching process, a user confirmation step can be set up so that the user can confirm whether to allow the switch, in order to adapt to the personalized needs of some users for cleaning fluid use and avoid the situation where the automatic switch does not meet the user's expectations.

[0110] Step S250: Perform the cleaning operation. If there is sufficient dedicated cleaning solution remaining, the base station will control the use of dedicated cleaning solution to clean the cloth to ensure that the cleaning effect meets the standard; if the dedicated cleaning solution is low, the base station will automatically switch to general cleaning solution to complete the cleaning of the cloth, so as to avoid interruption of the cleaning task.

[0111] Step S260: Record and issue a replenishment reminder. The base station will automatically record this cleaning solution switching event, including the switching time, the type of cloth to be cleaned, and the type of dedicated cleaning solution that is low, to facilitate user follow-up and management. At the same time, the base station will remind the user to replenish the dedicated cleaning solution in time through APP push or display on the base station screen, laying the foundation for the cleaning solution to be restored to the dedicated usage mode in the future.

[0112] The beneficial effects of the above embodiments include: First, the cleaning task is uninterrupted. When the dedicated cleaning solution is exhausted or insufficient, the base station can automatically switch to a general cleaning solution to ensure the continuous execution of the cleaning task, completely solving the defect of the prior art where the work stops when the cleaning solution is insufficient. Second, the user experience is excellent. The cleaning solution switching process does not require manual intervention from the user. The base station automatically completes the switching operation, achieving seamless switching for the user and reducing user costs. Third, the structure is simple. The above functions can be achieved by simply adding a general cleaning solution container to the existing base station. The modification cost is low, and it is easy to promote and apply in batches. Fourth, it has strong compatibility and is suitable for various usage scenarios of dedicated cleaning solutions. Regardless of the type of dedicated cleaning solution that is out of liquid, it can be downgraded to a general cleaning solution to continue working. Fifth, the reminder mechanism is comprehensive. After the cleaning solution is switched, the user is promptly reminded to replenish the dedicated cleaning solution, which facilitates the user to quickly restore the use of the dedicated cleaning solution after subsequent replenishment and improves the cleaning effect.

[0113] On the other hand, this application also provides a cleaning base station, including: a base station body; a cloth replacement mechanism for accommodating cleaning components; multiple cleaning liquid containers for containing various cleaning liquids; a balance detection device for detecting the remaining amount of various cleaning liquids; a cleaning liquid supply device for controlling the opening or closing of any cleaning liquid container; and a controller for executing the cleaning control method 100 of the cleaning base station described above.

[0114] The remaining quantity detection device includes at least one of the following: a liquid level sensor and a weight sensor. The appropriate detection method can be selected according to the actual application scenario to ensure the accuracy of remaining quantity detection.

[0115] For example, the controller can perform the following steps: identify the type information of the cleaning component to be cleaned; determine the corresponding target cleaning liquid from a variety of cleaning liquids based on the type information and the remaining amount of each cleaning liquid; and control the cleaning base station to use the target cleaning liquid to clean the cleaning component.

[0116] For example, the controller can perform the following steps: Step S210: Obtain the type of component to be cleaned. Using the identification device built into the base station, accurately obtain the type information of the cleaning component to be cleaned. This type information includes, but is not limited to, kitchen-specific cleaning components, bathroom-specific cleaning components, and living room-specific cleaning components, providing an accurate basis for subsequent cleaning solution matching.

[0117] Step S220: Determine the corresponding dedicated cleaning solution. Based on the identified cleaning component type and the preset mapping relationship, determine the dedicated cleaning solution type that is compatible with that cleaning component type to ensure the compatibility between the cleaning solution and the cleaning component and guarantee targeted cleaning effect.

[0118] Step S230: Detect the remaining amount of the dedicated cleaning fluid. The remaining amount of the dedicated cleaning fluid is acquired in real time using the remaining fluid detection device configured in the base station, providing reliable data support for subsequent cleaning fluid usage judgment and switching.

[0119] Step S240: Determine if the remaining amount of dedicated cleaning fluid is sufficient. The specific judgment criteria and corresponding actions are as follows: When the remaining amount of dedicated cleaning fluid is higher than the preset threshold, it is determined that the remaining amount is sufficient and the status is normal. At this time, the base station will prioritize using the dedicated cleaning fluid to perform the cleaning task; when the remaining amount of dedicated cleaning fluid is less than or equal to the preset threshold, it is determined that the fluid is insufficient. At this time, the base station will trigger the cleaning fluid switching mechanism to switch to the backup cleaning fluid to ensure the continuous progress of the cleaning task. It should be noted that during the cleaning fluid switching process, a user confirmation step can be set up so that the user can confirm whether to allow the switch, in order to adapt to the personalized needs of some users for cleaning fluid use and avoid the situation where the automatic switch does not meet the user's expectations.

[0120] Step S250: Perform the cleaning operation. If there is sufficient dedicated cleaning solution remaining, the base station will control the use of dedicated cleaning solution to clean the cloth to ensure that the cleaning effect meets the standard; if the dedicated cleaning solution is low, the base station will automatically switch to general cleaning solution to complete the cleaning of the cloth, so as to avoid interruption of the cleaning task.

[0121] Step S260: Record and issue a replenishment reminder. The base station will automatically record this cleaning solution switching event, including the switching time, the type of cloth to be cleaned, and the type of dedicated cleaning solution that is low, to facilitate user follow-up and management. At the same time, the base station will remind the user to replenish the dedicated cleaning solution in time through APP push or display on the base station screen, laying the foundation for the cleaning solution to be restored to the dedicated usage mode in the future.
