Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of cleaning equipment technology, specifically to a dehumidifying sweeper workstation that realizes internal water circulation. Background Technology
[0002] With the continuous development of smart home technology, household cleaning equipment is gradually evolving towards integration and automation. In the field of environmental humidity control, compressor dehumidifiers use a refrigeration cycle to lower the surface temperature of the evaporator below the air dew point, causing water vapor in the air to condense and precipitate. They are widely used for humidity control in humid environments such as basements, dressing rooms, and living rooms. In the field of floor cleaning, robotic vacuum cleaners integrate multiple technologies such as lidar navigation, visual obstacle avoidance, and path planning, enabling them to autonomously complete whole-house cleaning and mopping operations. The automatic water replenishment base stations equipped in some high-end products also extend the single-charge runtime of the devices to a certain extent. However, under the current technological system, these two types of devices have long operated independently. The condensate produced during the operation of dehumidifiers is usually directly discharged or manually emptied by the user, resulting in significant water waste. Furthermore, the water replenishment of robotic vacuum cleaners and their associated base stations still requires periodic manual operation by the user, making it difficult to achieve truly automated operation.
[0003] While existing technologies have attempted to integrate dehumidification modules into the base station of robotic vacuum cleaners, these approaches are limited to simply collecting the condensate produced by the dehumidifier and pumping it out once. They lack a comprehensive perception and real-time response mechanism for multiple dynamic factors, such as the condensate production rate, the real-time remaining capacity of the cleaning tank, and the future hourly water consumption patterns of the robotic vacuum cleaner. In this open-loop control mode, when significant changes in ambient temperature and humidity cause fluctuations in the condensate production rate, or when the cleaning task is intermittent and uncertain, the system cannot dynamically adjust the pump flow rate. This easily leads to situations where the condensate overflow is wasted due to the condensate production rate being far higher than the pump flow rate, or the pump runs dry and is damaged due to the condensate production rate being far lower than the pump flow rate and the total water requirement of the cleaning tank, resulting in the robotic vacuum cleaner stopping mid-operation due to water shortage. Both of these issues severely restrict the overall water resource utilization efficiency and long-term operational reliability of the machine, thus requiring improvement. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a dehumidifying sweeper workstation that realizes endogenous water circulation, so as to solve the problem in the prior art that it is impossible to automatically and accurately replenish condensate to the cleaning water tank based on the dynamic matching of water production rate and water consumption pattern without human intervention.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a dehumidifying sweeper workstation that realizes endogenous water circulation, including a sweeper base station, a connecting sleeve box fixedly connected to the top of the sweeper base station, and a dehumidifier fixedly connected to the top of the connecting sleeve box;
[0006] A pump body is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting sleeve. A water suction pipe is installed at the input end of the pump body, and a drain pipe is installed at the output end of the pump body. The water suction pipe is inserted into the inner wall of the dehumidifier, and the drain pipe is inserted into the inner wall of the sweeper base station.
[0007] A control component is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting sleeve, a computing chip is fixedly connected to the top of the control component, and an input component is fixedly connected to the top of the computing chip.
[0008] The computing chip is pre-loaded with a dynamic balance algorithm, and the input components include a condensate flow sensor installed in the dehumidifier and a liquid level sensor installed in the cleaning water tank.
[0009] The computing chip calculates the condensate volume formation rate at the current time t in real time based on the dynamic balance algorithm. And calculate the dynamic adjustment coefficient accordingly. To control the real-time pumping flow rate of the pump body. ;
[0010] Wherein, the condensate volume generation rate It is calculated in real time by the following formula:
[0011] in, , , ;
[0012] The dynamic adjustment coefficient It is calculated in real time by the following formula:
[0013]
[0014] in, , ;
[0015] And, if and only if satisfying Only when the control component starts the pump body to operate in intermittent pulse mode.
[0016] Furthermore, a display screen is fixedly connected to the top of the dehumidifier, an inlet is provided on one side of the display screen on the top of the dehumidifier, an outlet is provided on the back of the dehumidifier, a water storage tank is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the dehumidifier, and the top end of the water pump pipe is inserted into the inner wall of the water storage tank.
[0017] Furthermore, a cleaning water tank is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sweeping machine base station, and the bottom end of the drain pipe is inserted into the inner wall of the cleaning water tank. A sewage tank is also fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sweeping machine base station.
[0018] Furthermore, a controller is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sweeping robot base station, and a sweeping robot is inserted into the inner bottom wall of the sweeping robot base station.
[0019] Furthermore, a heat sink is fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting sleeve.
[0020] Furthermore, the computing chip has the following built-in components: an information acquisition unit, a status determination unit, and an execution drive unit;
[0021] The information acquisition unit is used to acquire the liquid level signal of the dehumidifier's water tank and the liquid level signal of the cleaning water tank of the sweeper base station through the input component.
[0022] The status determination unit is used to determine whether the preset drainage trigger value has been reached based on the liquid level signal of the water storage tank, and to determine whether it is in a water demand state based on the liquid level signal of the cleaning water tank.
[0023] The execution drive unit is used to send a start command to the control component to drive the pump body to run when the state determination unit determines that the drainage trigger value has been reached and the pump is in a water demand state.
[0024] Furthermore, the information acquisition unit is also used to obtain the condensate generation rate of the dehumidifier in the current time period through the input component, and the status determination unit is also used to obtain the water consumption of the next cleaning task preset in the sweeper base station. The execution drive unit dynamically adjusts the start time and single running time of the pump body according to the condensate generation rate, the current remaining capacity of the cleaning water tank and the water consumption, so that the cleaning water tank reaches the target liquid level before the task starts.
[0025] Furthermore, the status determination unit is also used to determine whether the cleaning water tank is in a full liquid level state. When it is in a full liquid level state, the execution drive unit prohibits the pump body from starting and feeds back the prohibition status signal to the dehumidifier's display screen through the control component.
[0026] Furthermore, the execution drive unit includes a pulse modulation subunit, which is used to alternately output start and stop signals at preset time intervals during pump operation to achieve intermittent water pumping.
[0027] Furthermore, the computing chip also has a built-in fault diagnosis unit, which is used to detect the flow feedback signal in the pumping pipe and the drain pipe through the input component after the pump is started. When the flow feedback value is lower than the preset normal value and continues for more than a set time, the fault diagnosis unit sends an alarm signal to the control component and displays the fault code on the display screen.
[0028] Compared with existing technologies, the present invention provides a dehumidifying sweeping machine workstation that realizes endogenous water circulation. This is achieved through the coordinated setup of a sweeping machine base station, a connecting casing, a dehumidifier, a pump body, a water suction pipe, a drain pipe, control components, and a computing chip, along with a pre-set dynamic balancing algorithm within the computing chip. The dynamic balancing algorithm incorporates a condensate generation rate formula including a Sigmoid activation function, a Lorentz-type efficiency correction function, an arctangent step function, and a sliding time window integral, as well as a dynamic adjustment coefficient including Gaussian weighted time integral, positive part truncation, and regularization. The formula performs real-time integral calculations and forward-looking risk assessments on the condensate generation rate and the water demand of the cleaning tank. Based on the calculation results, it controls the start-stop timing and pump flow rate of the pump in an intermittent pulse mode. This allows condensate to be automatically replenished to the cleaning tank at a rhythm that matches the dehumidifier's water production rate and the robot vacuum's water consumption pattern. Thus, without any manual intervention, it achieves precise dynamic balance control between dehumidification water production and mopping water consumption based on multi-sensor fusion and complex mathematical models, significantly improving the machine's water self-sufficiency and control robustness under varying environmental conditions.
[0029] The modular architecture of the computing chip, which integrates an information acquisition unit, a status determination unit, an execution drive unit, and a fault diagnosis unit, allows for real-time acquisition of the liquid level signals from both the water storage tank and the cleaning water tank, as well as the pipeline flow feedback signal. The status determination unit determines whether the water storage tank has reached the preset drainage trigger value and whether the cleaning water tank is in a water demand state or a full liquid level state based on the liquid level signals. The execution drive unit drives the pump when both the drainage trigger value and the water demand state are met, and prohibits the pump from starting when the cleaning water tank is full. The fault diagnosis unit continuously monitors the pipeline flow feedback signal after the pump starts and sends an alarm signal to the display screen when the flow is abnormal. This forms a complete closed-loop control link at four levels: water supply start / stop control, overflow protection, dry pump protection, and pipeline fault self-diagnosis. This effectively avoids the risks of overflow, dry pumping, and fault accumulation caused by the failure of a single sensor or pipeline abnormality, significantly improving the safety and reliability of the workstation's long-term operation.

[0038] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 4 As shown:
[0039] Example 1:
[0040] The present invention provides a dehumidifying sweeper workstation that realizes endogenous water circulation, including a sweeper base station 1, a connecting sleeve 2 fixedly connected to the top of the sweeper base station 1, and a dehumidifier 3 fixedly connected to the top of the connecting sleeve 2.
[0041] A pump body 4 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting box 2. A water suction pipe 5 is installed at the input end of the pump body 4, and a drain pipe 6 is installed at the output end of the pump body 4. The water suction pipe 5 is inserted into the inner wall of the dehumidifier 3, and the drain pipe 6 is inserted into the inner wall of the sweeper base station 1.
[0042] A control component 7 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting sleeve 2, a computing chip 8 is fixedly connected to the top of the control component 7, and an input component 9 is fixedly connected to the top of the computing chip 8.

[0047] Dynamic adjustment coefficient The following formula is used to calculate the result in real time:
[0048]
[0049] in, , ;
[0050] And, if and only if satisfying Only then does the control component 7 start the pump body 4 to operate in intermittent pulse mode.
[0051] In use, the robot vacuum cleaner base station 1 serves as the supporting foundation and functional integration core of the entire machine. Its top is mechanically and fluidly coupled to the dehumidifier 3 via the connecting box 2. Internally, the cleaning water tank 14 and wastewater tank 15 provide cleaning water for the robot vacuum cleaner 17 and collect returned wastewater, respectively. The cleaning water tank 14 receives condensate from the dehumidifier 3 via the drain pipe 6 to achieve internal water circulation replenishment. The dehumidifier 3, as the source of condensate, draws humid air from the environment into its body through the suction port 11 at the top. The built-in evaporator and condenser exchange heat, condensing the water vapor in the air into liquid water. The condensate collects inside the dehumidifier 3 under gravity. The dehumidifier 3 is fixedly connected to the water storage tank 13, and the outlet 12 on the back of the dehumidifier 3 discharges the dried air to the external environment. The display screen 10 on the top of the dehumidifier 3 is used to display the current working status, water level information and fault codes in real time for the user to view. The connecting sleeve 2 serves as an intermediate connecting component between the sweeper base station 1 and the dehumidifier 3. The pump body 4, which is fixedly connected to its inner wall, provides the power source for the water circulation of this workstation. The water suction pipe 5 installed at the input end of the pump body 4 is inserted into the inner wall of the water storage tank 13 to extract the condensate collected in the water storage tank 13. The drain pipe 6 installed at the output end of the pump body 4 is inserted into the inner wall of the cleaning water tank 14 to transport the extracted condensate to the cleaning water tank 14. The cleaning water tank 14 stores water for later use, and the heat sink 18, which is fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting sleeve 2, is used to dissipate the heat generated by the pump body 4 and the control component 7 during operation in a timely manner, so as to avoid excessive local temperature rise affecting the lifespan and operational stability of the components. The control component 7, as the direct actuator for the start-up, stop, and operation status of the pump body 4, is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting sleeve 2 and electrically connected to the pump body 4. It is used to receive drive commands from the computing chip 8 and output corresponding drive voltage and drive current to the pump body 4 according to the commands, so as to control the start-up, operation, stop, and speed adjustment of the pump body 4. The computing chip 8, as the core of the operation and decision-making center of all dynamic balance algorithms of this workstation, is fixedly connected to the control component. The top of the computing chip 8 is bidirectionally connected to the control component 7 via a data bus. The input component 9, which is fixedly connected to the top of the computing chip 8, includes a condensate flow sensor, a temperature and humidity sensor, and an airflow sensor installed in the dehumidifier 3, as well as a liquid level sensor installed in the cleaning water tank 14. These sensors are used to collect in real time the instantaneous condensate flow signal of the water tank 13, the temperature and humidity signal at the air inlet of the dehumidifier 3, the airflow signal converted from the fan speed, and the real-time liquid level signal of the cleaning water tank 14. After analog-to-digital conversion, these signals are sent to the register inside the computing chip 8 for use by the dynamic balancing algorithm. Based on this, the dynamic balancing algorithm built into the computing chip 8 first uses the air inlet temperature collected by the input component 9 as a reference. Dew point temperature Ambient relative humidity And air volume The condensate generation rate at the current moment is calculated by real-time integration using the condensate generation rate formula. To accurately quantify the water production capacity of dehumidifier 3 under current environmental conditions, chip 8 then calculates the current remaining capacity of clean water tank 14 based on the liquid level sensor in input component 9. And the remaining cleaning time read from the robot vacuum cleaner's 17 task planning module. and future hourly water consumption Substituting the values into the dynamic adjustment coefficient formula, the optimal adjustment coefficient for the current moment can be calculated. This coefficient reflects the dynamic matching relationship between the water shortage urgency of the clean water tank 14 and the condensate supply capacity. Subsequently, the chip 8 calculates the condensate generation rate. With dynamic adjustment coefficient Multiply to obtain the real-time pumping flow target value The target value is then sent to the control component 7 in the form of a pulse width modulation signal, causing the pump body 4 to operate at a variable frequency or intermittent pulse mode according to the target flow rate value, thus ensuring that the water volume in the cleaning water tank 14 is always maintained at the optimal working water volume required for the cleaning task of the sweeping robot 17. Nearby, this avoids the water storage tank 13 from being emptied or the cleaning water tank 14 from overflowing due to excessive pumping; at the same time, the computing chip 8 also performs condition prediction before executing the above pumping control, that is, if and only if the current condensate generation rate With remaining task duration The product of the product and the current remaining capacity of the cleaning water tank (14). Greater than or equal to the cumulative water consumption for the entire remaining task period in the future When the sum of the calculated water supply and the preset safety margin is reached, the calculation chip 8 sends a start command to the control component 7 to make the pump body 4 operate in an intermittent pulse mode. This condition prediction mechanism ensures that the pump body 4 will not be started if the condensate water supply is insufficient to cover future water consumption, thus avoiding ineffective operation. When the condensate water supply is sufficient, the pump body 4 will be started in time to transfer excess condensate water to the cleaning water tank 14 to achieve endogenous recycling of water resources. In summary, the sweeper base station 1 provides structural support and water channel accommodation, the connecting box 2 realizes mechanical connection and component integration, the dehumidifier 3 extracts condensate water from the environment as a circulating water source, and the pump body 4 connects the pump body 4 through the water suction pipe 5 and the drain pipe 14. Water pipe 6 constructs a directional water delivery path, control component 7 executes electrical drive and status feedback, and computing chip 8 runs a dynamic balancing algorithm based on real-time sensor data to make precise decisions on the pumping timing and flow rate of pump body 4. The above six core components work closely together in time and space to realize the internal water circulation function of automatically replenishing the dehumidifier 3 condensate water to the cleaning water tank 14 of the sweeping robot base station 1 on demand, in quantity, and in a timely manner. Thus, the dynamic balance scheduling between dehumidification water production and mopping water can be completed without manual intervention, which significantly improves the continuous operation capability and water resource utilization efficiency of sweeping robot 17.
[0052] Example 2:
[0053] This embodiment is basically the same as the previous embodiment, except that the top of the dehumidifier 3 is fixedly connected to the display screen 10, the top of the dehumidifier 3 is provided with an inlet 11 on one side of the display screen 10, the back of the dehumidifier 3 is provided with an outlet 12, the inner wall of the dehumidifier 3 is fixedly connected to a water storage tank 13, and the top end of the water suction pipe 5 is inserted into the inner wall of the water storage tank 13. The inner wall of the sweeping robot base station 1 is fixedly connected to a cleaning water tank 14, and the bottom end of the drain pipe 6 is inserted into the inner wall of the cleaning water tank 14. The inner wall of the sweeping robot base station 1 is fixedly connected to a wastewater tank 15. The inner wall of the sweeping robot base station 1 is fixedly connected to a controller 16. The inner bottom wall of the sweeping robot base station 1 is inserted with a sweeping robot 17. The surface of the connecting box 2 is fixedly connected to a heat sink 18. The computing chip 8 has an information acquisition unit, a status determination unit and an execution drive unit built in it.
[0054] The information acquisition unit is used to acquire the liquid level signal of the water tank 13 of the dehumidifier 3 and the liquid level signal of the cleaning water tank 14 of the sweeper base station 1 through the input component 9.
[0055] The status determination unit is used to determine whether the preset drainage trigger value has been reached based on the liquid level signal of the water storage tank 13, and to determine whether it is in a water demand state based on the liquid level signal of the cleaning water tank 14.
[0056] The execution drive unit is used to send a start command to the control component 7 to drive the pump body 4 when the status determination unit determines that the drainage trigger value has been reached and the water demand state is in effect. The information acquisition unit is also used to obtain the condensate generation rate of the dehumidifier 3 in the current time period through the input component 9. The status determination unit is also used to obtain the water consumption of the next cleaning task preset in the sweeper base station 1. The execution drive unit dynamically adjusts the start time and single running time of the pump body 4 according to the condensate generation rate, the current remaining capacity of the cleaning water tank, and the water consumption, so that the cleaning water tank 14 reaches the target liquid level before the task starts. The status determination unit is also used to determine whether the cleaning water tank 14 is at full liquid level. When the pump is at full liquid level, the drive unit prevents the pump body 4 from starting and sends a prohibition signal to the display screen 10 of the dehumidifier 3 via the control component 7. The drive unit includes a pulse modulation subunit, which outputs start and stop signals alternately at preset time intervals during the operation of the pump body 4 to achieve intermittent water pumping. The computing chip 8 also has a built-in fault diagnosis unit, which detects the flow feedback signals in the pump pipe 5 and the drain pipe 6 via the input component 9 after the pump body 4 starts. When the flow feedback value is lower than the preset normal value and continues for more than a set time, the fault diagnosis unit sends an alarm signal to the control component 7 and displays the fault code on the display screen 10.
[0057] In use, the dehumidifier 3 serves as the source of condensate. Its top inlet 11, operated by a built-in fan, continuously draws humid air from the surrounding environment into the dehumidifier 3. The drawn-in humid air first flows over the surface of the evaporator inside the dehumidifier 3. The low-pressure refrigerant flowing within the evaporator causes the surface temperature of the evaporator coil to drop significantly below the air dew point temperature. Water vapor in the humid air rapidly condenses into liquid water droplets on the low-temperature coil surface. Under gravity, these droplets converge downwards along the coil and flow into the water tank 13, which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the dehumidifier 3. The air, now dry after condensation and dehumidification, continues to flow through the condenser, absorbing heat released by the refrigerant and reheating. Finally, the heated, dry air is discharged to the external environment through the outlet 12 on the back of the dehumidifier 3, thus completing a full air dehumidification cycle and continuously producing condensate. The water tank 13 serves as a temporary storage container for the condensate. The internal condensate flow sensor monitors the amount of condensate flowing into the water storage tank 13 per unit time in real time and transmits the signal to the computing chip 8. Simultaneously, the bottom or side wall of the water storage tank 13 has an outlet port connected to the top of the suction pipe 5, allowing the pump body 4 to extract the condensate collected in the water storage tank 13 through the suction pipe 5 when it starts. The water storage tank 13 also has a high-level protection switch; when the water level in the tank reaches a preset upper limit, this switch sends an overflow signal to the control component 7 to prevent condensate from overflowing from the water storage tank 13. The condensate extracted by the pump body 4 is transported through the drain pipe 6 and injected into the cleaning water tank 14 fixedly connected inside the sweeping robot base station 1. The cleaning water tank 14 serves as a dedicated water storage container for the sweeping robot 17's clean water replenishment. It has an internal level sensor electrically connected to the input component 9, which collects the current remaining capacity of the cleaning water tank 14 in real time. The data is fed back to the computing chip 8 for use in the dynamic balancing algorithm. Simultaneously, the bottom outlet of the cleaning water tank 14 connects to the automatic water filling interface of the sweeping robot 17. When the sweeping robot 17 stops on the inner bottom wall of the sweeping robot base station 1, the clean water in the cleaning water tank 14 is automatically injected into the sweeping robot 17's own onboard water tank through the water filling interface under the action of gravity or the built-in micro-pump, providing cleaning water for the sweeping robot 17's mopping task. During the sweeping task, the cleaning water in its onboard water tank is pumped to the mop or spray device via an internal water pump. During mopping, some of the cleaning water is consumed to wet the mop and dissolve stains on the floor, while the remaining dirty water is used to clean the floor. The wastewater collection device (such as a scraper and a suction fan) at the bottom of the robot 17 is sucked into the wastewater box built into the robot 17. When the robot 17 returns to the robot base station 1 after completing the cleaning task, its wastewater box is connected to the wastewater tank 15 fixedly connected in the robot base station 1 through an automatic connection pipeline. The sewage pump built into the robot 17 discharges the wastewater collected in its wastewater box into the wastewater tank 15 for temporary storage, waiting for the user to clean it regularly, thus forming a complete closed-loop cleaning process of clean water supply, mopping operation, and wastewater collection. The display screen 10, which is located on the top of the dehumidifier 3 and electrically connected to the control component 7, receives status signals from the computing chip 8 and the control component 7 in real time during the operation of the whole machine. The current operating mode of the dehumidifier 3, the water level status of the water tank 13, the liquid level percentage of the cleaning water tank 14, the working status of the pump body 4, the docking and charging status of the sweeping robot 17, and various fault codes appearing in the system are presented on the display screen 10 in a visual digital or graphical interface for users to view directly. This allows users to intuitively grasp the real-time operating status of each subsystem of the entire workstation without disassembling the equipment. At the same time, the heat sink 18, which is fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting sleeve 2, is tightly attached to the outer wall of the pump body 4 and the control component 7, or forms a heat conduction path with the aforementioned heating elements through thermal grease. The heat sink 18 is made of a high thermal conductivity material (such as aluminum alloy or copper alloy) and its surface is provided with vertical... Multiple heat dissipation fins extending in the direction are used to increase the contact area with the surrounding air. When the pump body 4 generates a large amount of Joule heat during long-term continuous operation or high-load conditions, and the power switching tube in the control component 7 generates switching loss heat during frequent switching, the heat is transferred to the substrate and fin surface of the heat sink 18 through heat conduction. Then, the heat is dissipated to the air around the connecting sleeve 2 through natural convection and radiation. This effectively suppresses the temperature rise rate of the pump body 4 and the control component 7, avoids accelerated aging of the motor winding insulation of the pump body 4 due to overheating, and prevents the electrical parameters of the electronic components in the control component 7 from drifting or even thermal breakdown failure, ensuring that the pump body 4 and the control component 7 can operate stably and reliably for a long time.In summary, the intake 11 and exhaust 12 create a continuous and unobstructed air circulation path for the dehumidifier 3 to ensure a continuous output of condensate. The water tank 13 provides a reliable temporary storage space for condensate and works with the pump 4 to output water. The cleaning water tank 14, as an intermediate water storage link, stores cleaning water for the sweeping robot 17 and participates in dynamic balance decision-making through liquid level feedback. The wastewater tank 15 realizes centralized recycling of mopping wastewater to avoid secondary pollution. The sweeping robot 17, as the final execution terminal, converts cleaning water into cleaning power and brings wastewater back to the workstation to form a complete operation cycle. The display screen 10 provides an intuitive status visualization window for human-computer interaction. The heat sink 18 ensures the thermal reliability of key electrical components through an efficient passive heat dissipation mechanism. The above structures respectively cover air intake and exhaust, condensate storage and transportation, cleaning water storage and supply, and wastewater return. The system integrates multiple functional dimensions, including collection and containment, human-machine information interaction, and system thermal management. In terms of time, it executes sequentially according to the logical progression of dehumidification and water production, water storage for later use, on-demand water replenishment, cleaning operations, and wastewater return. Spatially, it achieves compact integration and orderly arrangement through a stacked structure of the sweeping robot base station 1, connecting box 2, and dehumidifier 3. The components are interconnected through electrical connections, water circuits, and heat conduction paths, forming multiple coupling relationships that collectively support the complete functional system of autonomously extracting moisture from the ambient air and generating it internally for cleaning operations. This allows the sweeping robot 17 to complete continuous multi-round mopping cleaning tasks without the need for an external water source or frequent manual water replenishment. Simultaneously, it centrally collects and recycles wastewater generated during cleaning for unified user disposal, significantly improving the overall automation level, water self-sufficiency rate, and long-term operational reliability.
[0058] Application example:
[0059] In the rainy season in southern China or in homes in high-humidity coastal areas, relative humidity often remains above 80%. Indoor floors easily become slippery due to dampness, and condensation easily forms on walls and furniture surfaces, creating favorable conditions for mold growth. Therefore, users have a strong need for indoor dehumidification. Meanwhile, household floor cleaning is usually done by robotic vacuum cleaners, but existing robotic vacuum cleaners have limited onboard water tank capacity (usually only 150mL to 300mL). In wet mopping mode, a single run often lasts less than 60 minutes before requiring manual refilling. For homes exceeding 120 square meters, robotic vacuum cleaners often need to interrupt their cleaning process to allow users to refill water before resuming operation, severely impacting cleaning efficiency and the automation experience. Furthermore, manually adding water to the robot's onboard tank requires bending over and preparing clean water beforehand, increasing the user's workload. During the rainy season, condensation on indoor walls and furniture surfaces, if not addressed promptly, not only affects living comfort but can also lead to peeling paint, warped wooden furniture, and moldy carpets over time. Users typically need to purchase a separate dehumidifier. The dehumidifier's operation time is arranged separately, and the condensate produced during operation is often directly discharged into the sewer or collected and manually dumped, resulting in a hidden waste of water resources. Furthermore, dehumidifiers and robot vacuums are two separate appliances, each occupying indoor space and requiring separate setup and management by the user. Placing two devices in a compact apartment presents a significant space conflict. In addition, when users return from extended periods away (such as business trips or vacations), odors and stale air accumulated indoors due to closed doors and windows often require powerful dehumidification and deep cleaning to quickly improve the living environment. However, in the traditional way, users need to operate two devices at the same time: a dehumidifier and a robot vacuum cleaner. There is no coordination between the two. The condensate produced by the dehumidifier needs to be manually transferred by the user to the water tank of the robot vacuum cleaner before it can be used for cleaning. The operation is cumbersome and there is a risk of spillage. It cannot achieve true automated integrated management of dehumidification and cleaning. The above pain points make users have an urgent need for an intelligent workstation that can deeply integrate air dehumidification and floor cleaning and automatically convert the condensate produced by dehumidification into cleaning water so that water resources are endogenously generated in the cleaning operation cycle.
[0060] The user places this workstation against a wall or in a corner of the area to be cleaned indoors. After powering on, the entire system enters standby mode. The robot vacuum base station 1, serving as the supporting foundation and core of the entire unit, is stably placed on the ground. Its top is fixedly supported by the connecting box 2 for the dehumidifier 3. The three form a compact, vertically stacked, integrated structure, significantly reducing the floor space required compared to placing the dehumidifier and robot vacuum base station separately. Upon first use, the user only needs to complete the WiFi network pairing by touching the touch buttons on the display screen 10 on top of the dehumidifier 3 or by scanning the QR code on the workstation body using a mobile application. The workstation connects to the home Wi-Fi network and is bound to a mobile app. Users can then remotely monitor the workstation's operating status, set target humidity levels, and schedule cleaning tasks for the robotic vacuum cleaner 17 via the app, eliminating the need for any manual operation. After initial setup, the dehumidifier 3 automatically starts its internal compressor and fan. The suction inlet 11 at its top, under the negative pressure generated by the fan's rotation, continuously draws humid air from the room into the dehumidifier 3. This humid air first flows over the surface of the evaporator inside the dehumidifier 3, where the low-pressure refrigerant circulating within the evaporator lowers the surface temperature of the evaporator coils to a significantly lower level. At the indoor air dew point temperature (typically 5°C to 10°C), water vapor in the humid air rapidly condenses into liquid water droplets on the surface of the low-temperature coil. Under gravity, these droplets flow downwards along the coil surface and converge into the water storage tank 13 fixedly connected to the bottom of the dehumidifier 3. The air, now dry after condensation and dehumidification, continues to flow through the condenser, absorbing the heat of condensation released by the refrigerant and then being discharged into the indoor environment through the outlet 12 on the back of the dehumidifier 3. This reduces the relative humidity of the indoor air while avoiding the discomfort caused by cold air being expelled. As the dehumidifier 3 continues to operate, the amount of water collected in the water storage tank 13 gradually increases. The condensate flow sensor inside the water storage tank 13 monitors the volume of condensate flowing into the water storage tank 13 per unit time in real time and transmits the electrical signal to the computing chip 8 via the input component 9. At the same time, the computing chip 8 also continuously receives real-time signals from the temperature and humidity sensor and the air volume sensor from the air inlet of the dehumidifier 3 via the input component 9. After acquiring the above sensor data, the computing chip 8 immediately calls its internal preset dynamic balance algorithm to perform real-time integral calculation on the condensate generation rate based on parameters such as air inlet temperature, dew point temperature, ambient relative humidity and air volume, so as to accurately obtain the condensate production rate of the dehumidifier 3 under the current environmental conditions.When the condensate in the water tank 13 accumulates to a certain amount, the calculation chip 8 makes a comprehensive decision based on the dynamic adjustment coefficient output by the dynamic balance algorithm, combined with the current remaining capacity of the cleaning water tank 14 and the predicted water consumption value of the cleaning task in the next time period task planning module of the sweeping robot 17. When it is determined that the current condensate supply is sufficient to cover the water consumption demand of future cleaning tasks, the calculation chip 8 sends a start command to the control component 7. After receiving the start command, the control component 7 outputs a drive voltage to the pump body 4, which is electrically connected to it. The pump body 4 then starts running. The water suction pipe 5 at the input end of the pump body 4 draws condensate from the water tank 13, and the drain pipe 6 at the output end of the pump body 4 delivers the condensate to the cleaning water tank 14, which is fixedly connected inside the sweeping robot base station 1, to complete the water replenishment operation. In actual operation, the pump body 4 does not operate continuously at a constant flow rate. The control component 7 operates in a variable frequency or intermittent pulse mode based on the dynamic adjustment coefficient calculated in real time by the computing chip 8. That is, the pump body 4 starts and stops alternately according to a preset time interval (for example, it stops for 120 seconds after running for 30 seconds and then restarts). Through this intermittent pumping strategy, the condensate is gradually transferred to the cleaning water tank 14 at a rhythm that matches the water production rate of the dehumidifier 3. This avoids the pump body 4 from being damaged by running dry due to continuous high-speed operation of the water tank 13, and also avoids the risk of excess condensate overflowing after the cleaning water tank 14 reaches full level in a short time due to excessive pumping flow. As the pump body 4 operates intermittently, the water volume in the cleaning water tank 14 gradually increases. The liquid level sensor installed inside the cleaning water tank 14 collects the current liquid level height in real time and transmits the corresponding remaining capacity signal. Feedback is sent to the computing chip 8 via the input component 9. When the computing chip 8 determines that the cleaning water tank 14 has reached the full level, it immediately sends a start-prohibition command to the control component 7. The control component 7 then cuts off the power supply to the pump body 4 to stop its operation. At the same time, the full level status signal is fed back to the display screen 10 on the top of the dehumidifier 3 via the control component 7 to display a prompt in the form of text or icons. In addition, when the water level in the storage tank 13 drops to the low level protection threshold, the high level protection switch inside the storage tank 13 sends a low level signal to the control component 7, and the control component 7 also immediately stops the operation of the pump body 4. To prevent damage to the seals and impeller of the pump body 4 from dry pumping, reliable double overflow and dry pump protection are achieved on both sides of the water storage tank 13 and the cleaning water tank 14. When the user issues a cleaning command via a mobile APP or directly on the display screen 10, the sweeping robot 17 automatically drives out from the inner bottom wall of the sweeping robot base station 1 and begins to perform whole-house cleaning tasks according to the preset path plan. During the mopping operation, the cleaning water in the onboard water tank of the sweeping robot 17 is transported to the mop or spray device through the internal water pump. During the mopping process, the cleaning water is continuously consumed to wet the mop and dissolve the floor. The robot vacuum cleaner 17 removes dirt and grime from the surface. Simultaneously, the scraper at the bottom of the robot vacuum cleaner 17 gathers the dirty water forward, and the negative pressure generated by the built-in suction fan draws the dirty water into the robot vacuum cleaner 17's wastewater tank. When the robot vacuum cleaner 17 completes a cleaning task or the cleaning water in its onboard tank is depleted, the robot vacuum cleaner 17 automatically returns to the robot vacuum cleaner base station 1 and docks on the inner bottom wall. After docking, the bottom outlet of the cleaning water tank 14 and the automatic water filling interface of the robot vacuum cleaner 17 are sealed together through a docking mechanism. The cleaning water in the cleaning water tank 14 is then automatically filled by gravity or with the assistance of a built-in micro-pump. The water is automatically injected into the onboard water tank of the sweeping robot 17 until the liquid levels of the two reach equilibrium. At the same time, the wastewater box of the sweeping robot 17 is connected to the wastewater tank 15 fixedly connected in the sweeping robot base station 1 through an automatic connection pipeline. The built-in sewage pump of the sweeping robot 17 then starts to discharge all the sewage containing dirt collected in the wastewater box into the wastewater tank 15 for centralized storage. After completing the above water replenishment and sewage discharge operations, the sweeping robot 17 can drive out again to continue to perform the unfinished cleaning task or wait for the next timed task to be triggered. This cycle repeats until the entire cleaning area is covered.During the long-term operation of the workstation, if the flow rate of the pump 5 or drain pipe 6 drops abnormally due to blockage by impurities or pipe bends after the pump body 4 starts, the fault diagnosis unit built into the computing chip 8 continuously monitors the flow feedback signal in the pump 5 and drain pipe 6 through the input component 9. Once it is determined that the flow feedback value is lower than the preset normal value and the duration exceeds the set threshold, the fault diagnosis unit immediately sends an alarm signal to the control component 7, and the control component 7 drives the display screen 10 to display the corresponding fault code to prompt the user to check and clean the pipeline. At the same time, the fault diagnosis unit also pushes fault notifications to the user's mobile APP through the Wi-Fi network to ensure that the user can check and clean the pipeline even if the pump body 4 starts. Even remote locations can promptly detect abnormal workstation statuses. Simultaneously, the heat sink 18, fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting sleeve 2, continuously plays a thermal management role during the operation of the pump body 4 and control component 7. The heat sink 18 is tightly fitted to the outer wall surfaces of the pump body 4 and control component 7, and the tiny gaps are filled with thermally conductive silicone grease to reduce contact thermal resistance. The Joule heat generated by the motor windings of the pump body 4 during long-term operation and the switching loss heat generated by the power switching transistors in the control component 7 during frequent switching are transferred via heat conduction paths to the aluminum alloy substrate and multiple vertically extending heat dissipation fins of the heat sink 18. Through large-area natural convection heat exchange with the air surrounding the connecting sleeve 2, the heat is promptly dissipated to the environment. This ensures that the temperature rise of the pump body 4 and control component 7 is always maintained within a safe range, effectively preventing the accelerated aging of the motor insulation layer of the pump body 4 or the drift of electrical parameters of electronic components in the control component 7 due to heat accumulation, which would affect the long-term operational reliability of the system. Throughout the application process, the dehumidifier 3 continuously extracts moisture from the air and inputs it into the water storage tank 13 in the form of condensate. Under the precise decision-making of the computing chip 8 and control component 7, the pump body 4 transfers the condensate to the cleaning water tank 14 at a rhythm that matches the condensate production rate and the water demand of the cleaning water tank 14. The cleaning water tank 14 then serves as an intermediate water storage link to provide a stable supply of water for the different cleaning tasks of the sweeping robot 17. The robot vacuum cleaner 17 uses clean water during mopping and collects the wastewater in the wastewater tank 15 for temporary storage, awaiting user cleanup. This forms a complete water cycle inherent in the cleaning process, from air intake, condensate storage, on-demand water delivery, water replenishment for cleaning, water consumption during mopping, to wastewater recycling. Users only need to periodically empty the wastewater tank 15 (usually every few days to weeks depending on usage frequency) to maintain the station's self-sustaining operation. Except for initial network configuration during installation, no manual water addition or other maintenance intervention is required, truly achieving a fully automated smart home management experience integrating dehumidification and cleaning.
[0061] Working Principle: After being powered on and initial settings are completed, this workstation enters a fully automatic collaborative operation state. The sweeper base station 1 serves as the supporting foundation and functional integration core of the entire machine. Its top is fixedly supported by the dehumidifier 3 via the connecting sleeve 2, forming a compact, vertically stacked integrated structure. After the dehumidifier 3 starts, its top suction port 11, under the negative pressure generated by the internal fan rotation, continuously draws humid indoor air into the machine. The drawn-in humid air first flows over the evaporator surface inside the dehumidifier 3. The low-pressure refrigerant flowing within the evaporator causes the evaporator coil surface temperature to drop significantly below the air dew point temperature. Water vapor in the humid air rapidly condenses on the low-temperature coil surface. Liquid water droplets flow downwards along the surface of the coil under gravity and converge into the water storage tank 13 fixedly connected to the bottom of the dehumidifier 3 for temporary storage. The air, which becomes dry after condensation and dehumidification, continues to flow through the condenser to absorb the condensation heat released by the refrigerant and reheat. Finally, the heated dry air is discharged into the indoor environment through the exhaust port 12 on the back of the dehumidifier 3, thereby continuously reducing the relative humidity of the indoor air while avoiding the discomfort caused by cold air being discharged. During the operation of the dehumidifier 3, a condensate flow sensor is installed inside the water storage tank 13, and temperature, humidity, and airflow sensors are installed at the air inlet of the dehumidifier 3, as well as a cleaning water tank 14. The internal liquid level sensors collect their respective physical quantity signals in real time. The electrical signals collected by these sensors are converted from analog to digital by the input component 9 fixedly connected to the top of the computing chip 8 and then sent to the register inside the computing chip 8. The computing chip 8 then calls its internal preset dynamic balance algorithm. First, it performs real-time integral calculation on the condensate generation rate based on parameters such as air inlet temperature, dew point temperature, ambient relative humidity, and air volume to accurately quantify the water production capacity of the dehumidifier 3 under the current environmental conditions. Then, it calculates the remaining capacity of the cleaning water tank 14 and the remaining cleaning task duration and future hourly water consumption data read from the task planning module of the sweeping robot 17. The optimal dynamic adjustment coefficient at the current moment is calculated. This coefficient comprehensively reflects the dynamic matching relationship between the water shortage urgency of the cleaning water tank 14 and the condensate supply capacity. Then, the calculation chip 8 multiplies the condensate generation rate with the dynamic adjustment coefficient to obtain the real-time pumping flow target value. Before executing the pumping control, the calculation chip 8 also performs condition prediction. That is, the calculation chip 8 determines that the conditions for starting the pumping are met and sends a start command to the control component 7 only when the product of the current condensate generation rate and the remaining task duration plus the current remaining capacity of the cleaning water tank 14 is greater than or equal to the sum of the cumulative water consumption and the preset safety margin for the entire remaining task period.The control component 7 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting sleeve 2 and electrically connected to the pump body 4. After receiving the start command from the computing chip 8, it outputs the corresponding drive voltage and drive current to the pump body 4 to drive the pump body 4 to start running. The top end of the water suction pipe 5 installed at the input end of the pump body 4 is inserted into the inner wall of the water storage tank 13. After the pump body 4 starts, it draws out the condensate collected in the water storage tank 13 through the water suction pipe 5. The bottom end of the drain pipe 6 installed at the output end of the pump body 4 is inserted into the inner wall of the cleaning water tank 14 fixedly connected inside the sweeper base station 1. The drawn-out condensate flows through... The drain pipe 6 delivers and injects water into the cleaning water tank 14 for storage and later use. During actual operation, the pump body 4 does not operate continuously at a constant flow rate. Instead, it is controlled by the control component 7 based on a dynamic adjustment coefficient calculated in real-time by the calculation chip 8, operating in either a frequency conversion mode or an intermittent pulse mode. Specifically, the pump body 4 alternately starts and stops according to the pulse width modulation signal output by the calculation chip 8. This intermittent pumping strategy ensures that condensate is gradually transferred to the cleaning water tank 14 at a pace matching the water production rate of the dehumidifier 3, thus preventing the storage tank 13 from being overloaded due to continuous high-speed operation of the pump body 4. After evacuation, the pump body 4 is damaged by running dry, which also avoids the risk of excess condensate overflowing due to excessive pumping flow causing the cleaning water tank 14 to reach full level in a short time. As the pump body 4 operates intermittently, the water level in the cleaning water tank 14 gradually increases. The liquid level sensor installed inside the cleaning water tank 14 collects the current liquid level in real time and feeds back the corresponding remaining capacity signal to the calculation chip 8 via the input component 9. When the calculation chip 8 determines that the cleaning water tank 14 has reached full level, it immediately sends a start-prohibition command to the control component 7, and the control component 7 then... The power supply to the pump body 4 is cut off to stop its operation. At the same time, the full liquid level status signal is fed back to the display screen 10 on the top of the dehumidifier 3 through the control component 7 to display the prompt in the form of text or icons. When the water level in the water tank 13 drops to the low liquid level protection threshold, the high liquid level protection switch inside the water tank 13 also sends a low liquid level signal to the control component 7. The control component 7 also immediately stops the operation of the pump body 4 to avoid dry pumping and damage to the seals and impeller of the pump body 4. Thus, reliable double anti-overflow and anti-dry pumping protection is achieved on both sides of the water tank 13 and the cleaning water tank 14.When the robotic vacuum cleaner 17 automatically drives out from the inner bottom wall of the robotic vacuum cleaner base station 1 to perform a cleaning task, the cleaning water in its onboard water tank is transported to the mop or spray device by an internal water pump and is continuously consumed during the mopping process. At the same time, the wastewater collection device at the bottom of the robotic vacuum cleaner 17 sucks the wastewater carrying stains into its built-in wastewater box. When the robotic vacuum cleaner 17 completes a single cleaning task or the cleaning water in its onboard water tank is exhausted, it automatically returns to the robotic vacuum cleaner base station 1 and stops on the inner bottom wall. After stopping, the bottom outlet of the cleaning water tank 14 and the automatic water filling interface of the robotic vacuum cleaner 17 are sealed and connected. The cleaning water in the cleaning water tank 14 is automatically injected into the onboard water tank of the robotic vacuum cleaner 17 to complete the water replenishment operation. At the same time, the wastewater box of the robotic vacuum cleaner 17 is also automatically connected to the wastewater box 15 fixedly connected in the robotic vacuum cleaner base station 1, and the wastewater pump built into the robotic vacuum cleaner 17 drains the wastewater. All the sewage collected in the sewage box is discharged into the sewage tank 15 for centralized storage. After the above water replenishment and sewage discharge operations are completed, the sweeping robot 17 can drive out again to continue to perform the unfinished cleaning tasks, and so on in a cycle. During the operation of the whole machine, the heat sink 18 fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting sleeve 2 is closely attached to the outer wall surface of the pump body 4 and the control component 7 and the tiny gaps are filled with thermal grease to form a low thermal resistance heat conduction path. When the Joule heat generated by the motor winding of the pump body 4 during operation and the switching loss heat generated by the power switching tube in the control component 7 during frequent switching are transferred to the substrate of the heat sink 18 and the surface of multiple vertically extended heat sink fins through the heat conduction path, the heat is dissipated to the environment in time through large-area natural convection heat exchange with the air around the connecting sleeve 2, thereby effectively suppressing the temperature rise rate of the pump body 4 and the control component 7 and ensuring its long-term stable and reliable operation.Meanwhile, if the flow rate of the pumping pipe 5 or drain pipe 6 drops abnormally due to blockage by impurities or pipe bends after the pump body 4 starts, the fault diagnosis unit built into the calculation chip 8 continuously monitors the flow feedback signal in the pumping pipe 5 and drain pipe 6 through the input component 9. Once it is determined that the flow feedback value is lower than the preset normal value and the duration exceeds the set threshold, the fault diagnosis unit immediately sends an alarm signal to the control component 7, and the control component 7 drives the display screen 10 to display the corresponding fault code to prompt the user to check and clean the pipeline. Thus, at the whole machine level, it forms a system that integrates ambient air water intake, condensate storage and monitoring, real-time integral calculation of water production rate, and dynamic water demand urgency. A complete intelligent control closed loop, encompassing state assessment, safety prediction of pumping conditions, intermittent on-demand water supply, closed-loop adjustment based on cleaning water tank storage feedback, automatic water replenishment and wastewater discharge by the sweeping robot, active thermal management of key electrical components, and autonomous diagnosis and alarm for pipeline faults, enables the condensate generated by the dehumidifier 3 to be automatically, quantitatively, and timely transferred to the cleaning water tank 14 without any manual intervention, and ultimately supplied to the sweeping robot 17 for mopping operations. Simultaneously, the wastewater generated during mopping is returned to the wastewater tank 15 for centralized user cleaning, thus achieving a complete endogenous water cycle function from air dehumidification to floor cleaning, from condensate generation to cleaning consumption, and from clean water supply to wastewater recycling.
