Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cleaning technology, and in particular to a makeup brush cleaning machine. Background Technology

[0002] Makeup is an important part of modern daily life, but the cleanliness of makeup brushes is becoming increasingly important. During use, makeup brushes inevitably accumulate foundation, makeup residue, sebum, and environmental dust. If not cleaned effectively over a long period, these residues can build up between the bristles, creating a breeding ground for bacteria, fungi, and other harmful microorganisms. Directly using such contaminated brushes can easily lead to skin problems such as acne, pimples, folliculitis, and allergic reactions, harming the user's skin health and affecting the makeup's finish. Therefore, regularly and thoroughly cleaning makeup brushes is an essential step in ensuring skin health and maintaining a flawless makeup look.

[0003] Currently, the mainstream method for cleaning makeup brushes is still manual washing. This typically involves immersing the brushes in a container, repeatedly rubbing them with a special cleaning agent, rinsing them with water, and finally hanging them to air dry. However, this manual washing method has significant drawbacks: First, the rubbing force and area are difficult to control, easily leading to incomplete cleaning and dirt residue remaining at the base of the bristles; second, the rinsing process cannot completely remove the cleaning agent, and residual chemicals may irritate the skin; third, excessive rubbing or improper handling can easily damage the bristle structure, shortening the brush's lifespan; fourth, the entire cleaning process is time-consuming, labor-intensive, inefficient, and provides a poor user experience. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an automated, efficient makeup brush cleaning solution that also protects the brushes. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main purpose of this invention is to propose a makeup brush cleaning machine, which aims to solve the problems of insufficient cleanliness and low cleaning efficiency caused by the reliance on manual cleaning of existing makeup brushes.

[0033] This application proposes a makeup brush cleaning machine, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it includes: a base 01, which forms a sealed cavity inside. The cavity houses a motor 06, a water pump 07, and an electrical control assembly. The control terminal of the electrical control assembly is electrically connected to the controlled terminal of the motor 06 and the controlled terminal of the water pump 07. A cleaning tank 02 is fixed above the base 01, with an opening at the top and a rotating component 21 at the bottom. The output terminal of the motor 06 extends into the cleaning tank 02 and is driven by the rotating component 21. A cleaning cover 03 covers the top of the cleaning tank 02 and has honeycomb-shaped through holes 31 penetrating the cover. A wastewater storage tank 04 is detachably located below the base 01. The inlet of the water pump 07 is connected to the cleaning tank 02, and the outlet is connected to the wastewater storage tank 04.

[0034] More specifically, makeup plays a vital role in modern life, and makeup brushes, as the core tool for applying makeup, directly impact skin health and makeup results due to their cleanliness. During use, makeup brushes inevitably accumulate foundation, various makeup products, skin oils, and dust particles from the environment. These substances mix and adhere to and accumulate on the bristles, especially at the base of the dense bristles, forming dirt residue. If not thoroughly cleaned over a long period, this damp, organic-rich environment becomes an ideal breeding ground for harmful microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi. Directly using contaminated makeup brushes allows these microorganisms and residues to come into contact with the skin, clogging pores, irritating hair follicles, and triggering a series of skin problems, such as recurring acne, pimples, folliculitis, and allergic reactions. Therefore, regularly and effectively cleaning makeup brushes is a crucial step in maintaining a healthy skin barrier and ensuring a flawless, long-lasting makeup application.

[0035] Currently, the mainstream cleaning method remains traditional hand washing. This typically involves immersing the makeup brush in a container of water with a special cleaning agent, then repeatedly rubbing and squeezing the bristles with your fingers to try and remove dirt. Afterward, it's rinsed repeatedly with plenty of water and finally hung to air dry. This method has significant inherent drawbacks. The force and scope of manual rubbing are difficult to control precisely, especially in reaching and effectively cleaning stubborn makeup residue and oil hidden deep within the bristles, leaving dirt and microorganisms unremoved. Hand rinsing often relies on visual inspection, making it difficult to ensure thorough removal of cleaning agent components. Residual chemicals may cause irritation or allergies upon contact with skin; excessive or improper rubbing and squeezing can easily deform or break the bristles, damaging their original flexibility and powder-grabbing ability, significantly shortening the lifespan of the makeup brush; and the entire hand-washing process is cumbersome, time-consuming, and labor-intensive.

[0036] To address the aforementioned problems, this application proposes a cosmetic brush cleaning machine, comprising a base 01, a cleaning tank 02, a cleaning cover 03, and a wastewater storage tank 04. The base 01 serves as the fundamental structure of the entire device, providing support and internal space. Its interior forms a sealed cavity to house the core drive and control components. This sealed cavity prevents water and detergent leakage during the cleaning process from damaging the internal precision components. Simultaneously, the base 01 serves as the pedestal connecting the cleaning tank 02 and the wastewater storage tank 04. The sealed cavity inside the base 01 protects the motor 06, water pump 07, and electrical control components. The motor 06 provides rotational power, and the water pump 07 provides the power for liquid flow. The electrical control components are the "brain" of the entire machine; they receive user commands and precisely control when the motor 06 starts rotating and at what speed, as well as when the water pump 07 starts pumping water and in what direction. The robust structure of the base 01 ensures the stability and safety of these core components during operation.

[0037] The cleaning tub 02 is fixed above the base 01 and has an opening at the top. The tub provides a container for holding makeup brushes, water, and cleaning solution. The user adds water and cleaning solution through the opening at the top of the tub 02. The rotating component 21 on the cleaning tub 02 is the core actuator that generates physical cleaning force. When the motor 06 starts, its output shaft extends into the bottom of the cleaning tub 02, directly driving the rotating component 21 to rotate at high speed. The rotation of the rotating component 21 violently agitates the mixture of water and cleaning solution inside the tub, forming a strong, multi-directional, and continuous water vortex. This dynamic water flow powerfully washes and penetrates every fiber of the brush bristles, especially reaching the deep roots that are difficult to reach with traditional hand washing, effectively removing and suspending stubborn makeup residue, grease, and dirt. Its effect is far superior to the localized and uncontrollable nature of manual rubbing.

[0038] The top of the cleaning tub 02 is covered with a cleaning lid 03, which has honeycomb-shaped perforations 31 throughout. These perforations 31 allow the handle of the makeup brush to pass through and be secured, ensuring the brush head hangs stably in the cleaning solution within the tub 02, preventing it from shifting or moving in the strong water flow. Simultaneously, the perforations 31 also serve as channels for the user to add clean water or cleaning agents. More importantly, during the crucial rinsing stage, when the water pump 07 starts pumping out wastewater, the user can inject a large amount of clean water through these perforations 31. Under the influence of gravity, the injected water naturally flows from top to bottom, penetrating the entire honeycomb lid structure, rinsing each bristle evenly and thoroughly like a shower, washing away dissolved dirt and residual cleaning agents, and flushing them to the bottom of the tub. This solves the problem of manual rinsing failing to ensure thorough and even penetration.

[0039] A wastewater storage tank 04 is detachably located below the base 01. The inlet of the water pump 07 is connected to the cleaning tank 02, and the outlet is connected to the wastewater storage tank 04. When drainage is required during the cleaning or rinsing process, the water pump 07 is activated under the command of the electronic control components. The inlet of the water pump 07 is connected to the bottom of the cleaning tank 02 via a pipe, and its outlet is connected to the wastewater storage tank 04 via another pipe. After the water pump 07 is activated, it generates suction force to actively and efficiently extract the dirty water containing dirt, grease, makeup residue, and detergent components from the cleaning tank 02 and transport it to the wastewater storage tank 04 for centralized temporary storage. This active extraction mechanism fundamentally ensures that the wastewater is completely removed from the cleaning area, avoiding the risk of detergent residue that may result from manual rinsing relying on visual judgment. Its detachable design greatly facilitates users in removing the tank after treatment, emptying the wastewater, and cleaning, keeping the equipment hygienic.

[0040] The usage process of this application is as follows: The user inserts the makeup brush to be cleaned into the cleaning tub 02 through the through hole 31 of the cleaning cover 03, and adds an appropriate amount of water and detergent. When the machine is started, the output shaft of the motor 06 extends into the bottom of the cleaning tub 02, directly driving the rotating component 21 at the bottom. This rotating component 21 rotates at high speed, stirring the water and detergent mixture inside the tub, forming a powerful, multi-directional water vortex. These high-speed water flows can deeply clean every crevice of the bristles, especially the roots, simulating and surpassing the effect of hand rubbing, effectively removing dirt and grease. At the same time, the rotating component 21 itself may also gently contact the bottom of the bristles, providing physical friction and avoiding the roughness and uncontrollability of hand squeezing.

[0041] This application includes a base 01, a cleaning tub 02, a cleaning cover 03, and a wastewater storage tank 04. The motor 06 integrated within the sealed cavity of the base 01 drives the rotating component 21 at the bottom of the cleaning tub 02 to rotate at high speed, creating a powerful vortex or impact water flow within the tub. This combined action of water rinsing and physical agitation penetrates deep into the bristles to remove stubborn makeup residue and dirt, thereby reducing bacterial growth. Simultaneously, a water pump 07, coordinated by the electronic control components, actively pumps used wastewater to the removable wastewater storage tank 04, effectively reducing detergent residue. The cleaning cover 03 has multiple honeycomb-shaped through holes 31 to secure multiple inserted brushes, preventing them from tumbling and colliding disorderly during vigorous washing, protecting the flexibility and structural integrity of the bristles, avoiding physical damage from manual rubbing, and extending the lifespan of the brushes. The multiple honeycomb-shaped through holes 31 allow for simultaneous cleaning of multiple makeup brushes, saving cleaning time and improving cleaning efficiency.

[0042] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the cavity is divided into a first space 11 and a second space 12. The first space 11 houses a motor 06, a water pump 07, and an electrical control assembly. The inlet and outlet of the water pump 07 pass through the partition between the first space 11 and the second space 12 and extend into the second space 12.

[0043] This can be understood as follows: inside the base 01, its sealed cavity is not a single, monolithic space, but is clearly divided into two independent areas: the first space 11 and the second space 12. The first space 11 is specifically used to house the motor 06, the water pump 07, and the electronic control components. The motor 06 generates heat and potential electromagnetic interference during operation, the water pump 07 is involved in liquid transfer, and the electronic control components contain precision circuit boards. Concentrating them in the first space 11 facilitates centralized heat dissipation, electromagnetic shielding, and, most importantly, waterproof and moisture-proof protection. The second space 12 mainly serves as a transition area for pipes and interfaces. The inlet of the water pump 07, used to draw liquid from the cleaning tank 02, and the outlet, used to discharge liquid to the wastewater tank, are both located in the second space 12. Within the second space 12, the inlet and outlet of the water pump 07 can be connected to the bottom of the cleaning tank 02 and the wastewater storage tank 04, respectively, via pipes or other interfaces.

[0044] This physical separation is crucial. It ensures that even if a minor leak occurs at the interface of the water pump 07 in the second space 12, such as a loose interface or natural aging of the seal, the leaked liquid or moisture will be confined to the second space 12 and will not directly intrude into the first space 11 where the motor 06 and the electronic control components are located. This fundamentally eliminates the risk of short circuits, corrosion, or malfunctions caused by liquid contact with core electronic components, greatly improving the safety and reliability of the equipment.

[0045] In one embodiment, a first sealing assembly is provided between the water inlet end, the water outlet end, and the partition plate of the water pump 07. It can be understood that, as described in the above embodiment, the cavity is divided into a first space 11 and a second space 12, and the water inlet end and the water outlet end of the water pump 07 pass through the partition plate between the first space 11 and the second space 12 and extend into the second space 12.

[0046] Because the inlet and outlet of water pump 07 need to pass through the partition plate, forming physical holes in the partition plate, these penetration interfaces can become potential channels for liquid leakage. To prevent water, cleaning solution, or any possible leakage from the interfaces in cleaning tank 02 from back-seeping or directly flowing into the first space 11 through the openings in the partition plate, endangering motor 06 and electrical control components, a first sealing assembly is installed between the inlet and outlet of water pump 07 and the partition plate. The function of this sealing assembly is to achieve an absolute seal at the penetration interfaces. Its working principle mainly relies on a precise sealing structure, such as the use of sealing rings, gaskets, or stuffing boxes, and appropriate clamping force. When the inlet and outlet pipes of water pump 07 are correctly installed and fixed through the holes in the partition plate, the first sealing assembly is tightly squeezed into the annular gap between the outer wall of the pipe and the inner wall of the partition plate hole. This compression causes the sealing material, such as elastic rubber or a special composite material, to deform, completely filling any microscopic gaps in the gap, forming one or more physical barriers. Whether the equipment is static or vibrating while the water pump 07 is operating, this barrier can continuously and effectively block any possibility of liquid or moisture attempting to penetrate into the first space 11 through the gaps in the plate.

[0047] The first sealing assembly is a key line of defense to ensure that the core electromechanical components inside the first space 11 operate in a dry and safe environment for a long time. It is one of the core components of the entire base 01 waterproof design, ensuring that the safety value of the partition structure design can be truly realized.

[0048] In one embodiment, a drain channel extending to the second space 12 is provided between the cleaning tub 02 and the base 01, the water inlet of the water pump 07 is connected to the drain channel through a water inlet pipe, a drain channel extending to the second space 12 is provided between the base 01 and the wastewater storage tank 04, and the water outlet of the water pump 07 is connected to the drain channel through a water outlet pipe.

[0049] This can be understood as follows: to achieve effective collection and transfer of wastewater within the cleaning tank 02, a dedicated drainage channel is installed between the bottom of the cleaning tank 02 and the base 01. This channel provides a controlled, dedicated flow path for the liquid within the cleaning tank 02 to the second space 12 inside the base 01. The inlet of the drainage channel is typically designed at or near the lowest point of the cleaning tank 02, ensuring that when drainage is needed, the wastewater within the tank can flow smoothly and without residue into the channel inlet under its own gravity. The channel itself is designed to be downwardly sloping or straight, with a smooth interior to reduce flow resistance, guiding the wastewater to flow naturally down, through the structure of the base 01, and finally extending into the second space 12, which serves as a safety isolation zone. At the end of the drainage channel, in the area of ​​the second space 12, the wastewater is temporarily collected, awaiting suction from the water pump 07. The existence of this channel prevents wastewater from accumulating or flowing randomly at the bottom of the cleaning tank 02, ensuring that the liquid can be concentrated and directed to the inlet of the water pump 07, creating conditions for effective suction by the water pump 07.

[0050] To transport the sewage collected at the end of the sewer channel in the second space 12 to the water pump 07, an inlet pipe is needed as a connecting bridge. The inlet end of this pipe is securely connected to the outlet of the sewer channel in the second space 12 via a reliable interface. Its outlet end is directly connected to the inlet interface of the water pump 07. When the water pump 07 starts under electrical control, its internal impeller rotates at high speed, generating a strong negative pressure at the inlet end. This suction force is transmitted through the inlet pipe, acting on the water collected at the end of the sewer channel, thereby actively and continuously drawing the sewage up and pumping it into the water pump 07. The inlet pipe and its sealed connections at both ends ensure the airtightness of the water flow path, preventing air from entering and affecting the efficiency of the water pump 07 or causing liquid leakage. This is a crucial step in ensuring the reliable transfer of sewage from the end of the sewer channel to the water pump 07.

[0051] Meanwhile, the pressurized wastewater from pump 07 needs to be safely discharged from the base 01 and introduced into the wastewater storage tank 04. To this end, a drainage channel is designed between the base 01 and the wastewater storage tank 04 above it. The main function of this channel is to receive the high-pressure wastewater flow discharged from pump 07 and guide and transport it to the inlet of the wastewater storage tank 04. The inlet end of the drainage channel is located in the second space 12 of the base 01 and is connected to the outlet end of pump 07 via a pipe. When pump 07 pressurizes the wastewater, it will push the wastewater out of its outlet end with a certain positive pressure. The drainage channel extends through the structure of the base 01, and its outlet end opening is aligned with or connected to the inlet of the wastewater storage tank 04. After the pressurized wastewater flows into the drainage channel, it flows at high speed along the channel under pressure and is eventually smoothly discharged into the wastewater storage tank 04 below for temporary storage.

[0052] The outlet pipe is the final "bridge" connecting the sewage from pump 07 to the drainage channel. Its inlet is securely connected to the outlet of pump 07 via a sealed interface, receiving the pressurized sewage discharged from pump 07. Its outlet is also connected to the inlet of the drainage channel in the second space 12 via a sealed interface. When the pressurized sewage from pump 07 gushes out from the outlet, the outlet pipe carries this pressurized fluid and guides it leak-free and with low resistance to the beginning of the drainage channel. Because pressurized fluid flows within this section of the pipe, the sealing reliability of its connections is extremely important to prevent high-pressure sewage from splashing or leaking into the second space 12 at the connection points. The outlet pipe ensures that the pressurized sewage is completely and efficiently guided into the drainage channel, and ultimately discharged into the wastewater storage tank 04.

[0053] In one embodiment, the lower surface of the cleaning tub 02 is fitted and connected to the upper surface of the base 01. The bottom of the cleaning tub 02 is provided with an extension hole, and the upper surface of the base 01 is provided with an extension groove that matches the extension hole. The motor 06 is fixed below the extension groove, and the output end of the motor 06 is driven to connect to the rotating component 21 through the extension groove and the extension hole.

[0054] In this embodiment, the cleaning tank 02 and the base 01 are tightly fitted together with their lower and upper surfaces, establishing a stable physical support and basic seal. When the cleaning tank 02 is correctly fixed to the base 01, the contact surfaces are tightly pressed together under the action of gravity. This large-area planar contact first provides the cleaning tank 02 with a stable and reliable load-bearing platform, ensuring its stability under the vibration generated by the high-speed rotating water flow, preventing displacement or overturning. Secondly, this tight-fitting surface itself constitutes the first physical barrier. Although its main purpose is not complete waterproofing, as the power shaft still needs to pass through, it effectively prevents small amounts of liquid that may splash up from the cleaning tank 02 due to shaking or flow down the side wall from directly seeping into the interior of the base 01, especially preventing liquid from bypassing the power transmission area and invading other parts of the base 01, providing initial protection for the internal electromechanical components.

[0055] To achieve power transmission from motor 06 to the rotating component 21 inside the cleaning tub 02 while ensuring a tight seal, an extension hole is provided at a specific location on the bottom of the cleaning tub 02. Correspondingly, an extension groove is precisely machined on the upper surface of the base 01 at a corresponding position. This extension groove is a downwardly recessed cavity or channel whose shape and size are precisely matched and aligned with the extension hole of the cleaning tub 02. Motor 06 itself is firmly fixed inside the base 01, and its position is carefully set directly below the extension groove, ensuring that the output shaft of motor 06 can be vertically upward, precisely aligned, and extended into the extension groove. When the cleaning tub 02 is assembled with the base, the extension hole at its bottom will precisely fit with the extension groove on the base 01. At this time, the output shaft of motor 06 passes through the extension groove from below and extends further upward, passing through the extension hole at the bottom of the cleaning tub 02, ultimately directly driving the rotating component 21 connected and fixed inside the cleaning tub 02.

[0056] In one embodiment, a second sealing assembly is provided between the motor 06 and the extension slot, and between the extension slot and the extension hole. There are two critical interfaces along the path of the output shaft of the motor 06 driving the rotating component 21 inside the cleaning tub 02: between the output shaft of the motor 06 and the extension slot (i.e., the position where the shaft exits the motor 06 housing and enters the cavity of the base 01), and between the extension slot and the extension hole at the bottom of the cleaning tub 02 (i.e., the position where the rotating shaft crosses the interface between the base 01 and the cleaning tub 02). These locations are potential points of liquid intrusion risk. To prevent water, detergent solution, or possible condensate from the cleaning tub 02 from seeping into the interior of the base 01 through these paths, especially into the first space 11 housing the motor 06 and other electronic control components, a second sealing assembly is specifically provided. The second sealing assembly prevents trace amounts of oil vapor or ambient moisture that may be present in the first space 11 of the base 01 from intruding into the interior of the motor 06. More importantly, it blocks liquid that may seep down from above from directly flowing into the motor 06 body, protecting the internal windings and bearings of the motor 06.

[0057] Even if the topmost seal, directly facing the liquid, experiences minute leakage due to long-term wear or extreme conditions, the seal below, located between the motor 06 and the extension slot, acts as a secondary barrier, intercepting these minute leaks and preventing further contamination of the motor 06's interior or other sensitive components in the first space 11. This redundant design significantly improves the system's long-term operational reliability and safety in humid, water-rich environments, ensuring power transmission while maximizing the protection of core electromechanical components. The second sealing assembly is an indispensable key technology for ensuring the stable operation of the entire device in liquid working environments.

[0058] In one embodiment, the through-hole 31 is an elastic through-hole, and the through-hole 31 has various sizes. The through-hole 31, constructed of an elastic material, possesses significant flexibility and recoverable deformation capability. When a makeup brush passes through the through-hole 31, the hole wall can tightly wrap around and adhere to the outer surface of the makeup brush. Its working principle is based on the elastic deformation of the material: during the insertion process, the inner diameter of the through-hole 31 will adaptively expand under the pressure of the inserted object; after insertion, the inherent rebound force of the elastic material will drive the hole wall to continuously and uniformly contract inward, thereby forming a tight, all-around, and seamless fit around the inserted object. This dynamic fit not only achieves physical stability and prevents the component from loosening or shifting within the through-hole 31, but also allows the elastic through-hole to be available in various sizes, flexibly adapting to makeup brushes of various sizes, facilitating the simultaneous cleaning of multiple brushes, thereby saving cleaning time and improving cleaning efficiency.

[0059] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, the electronic control components include: a power supply module 51, used to process and output the input power; a motor control module 52, whose output terminal is electrically connected to the controlled terminal of the motor 06, used to drive the motor 06 to work; a water pump control module 53, whose output terminal is electrically connected to the controlled terminal of the water pump 07, used to drive the water pump 07 to work; and a controller module 54, whose control terminal is electrically connected to the controlled terminal of the motor control module 52, used to output corresponding control signals to the motor control module 52 and the water pump control module 53 according to the acquired input signals.

[0060] The power module 51 consists of a lithium battery and can be charged using a charging management chip. A DC-DC boost circuit is required to boost the battery voltage from 3.7V to 5V for powering the motor 06 and water pump 07; a voltage regulator chip is used to convert the battery voltage to 3.3V for the microcontroller.

[0061] The motor control module 52 receives instructions from the controller module 54 and precisely drives the motor 06 accordingly. This includes controlling the start, stop, rotation direction (forward / reverse), and speed of the motor 06. It acts as a bridge and power amplifier between the low-power control signals and the high-power motor 06 load, ensuring that the motor 06 can complete the driving task of the rotating part 21 inside the cleaning tub 02 as required by the system. For the selected 5V DC motor 06, this module is typically built based on the motor 06 driver chip. The motor 06 driver chip is an integrated circuit that integrates power switching devices and control logic. The controller module 54 sends low-power control signals representing direction and speed to the motor 06 driver chip. The H-bridge circuit inside the driver chip intelligently switches the state of its internal power switches based on these signals, thereby controlling the direction of the current flowing through the motor 06, achieving forward and reverse rotation, and adjusting the average voltage through the PWM duty cycle to achieve speed regulation. It amplifies the weak control signals into a strong current sufficient to drive the motor 06 and typically integrates overcurrent and overheat protection functions.

[0062] The water pump control module 53 is dedicated to controlling the start and stop of water pump 07. Based on the instructions from the controller module 54, it precisely opens or closes the power supply to water pump 07, thereby controlling its operating state. It is responsible for translating the control logic into the actual on / off operation of the water pump 07 motor 06, ensuring that cleaning fluid or clean water can be pumped into the cleaning fluid storage tank as needed. This module typically uses a MOSFET as its core electronic switch. MOSFETs have advantages such as low on-resistance, fast switching speed, and low control power. A GPIO pin of the controller module 54 outputs a control signal to the gate of the MOSFET. When the control signal is high, the MOSFET is turned on, equivalent to a closed switch, allowing the boosted voltage from the battery to flow through the water pump 07 motor 06, and water pump 07 starts operating. When the control signal is low, the MOSFET is turned off, equivalent to an open switch, cutting off the power supply circuit to water pump 07, and water pump 07 stops operating. The microcontroller can control the on / off operation of water pump 07 using simple level signals.

[0063] In one embodiment, the electronic control component further includes a switch button, a gear knob, and a display screen mounted on the base 01, wherein the switch button, gear knob, and display screen are electrically connected to the controller module 54.

[0064] This can be understood as the electronic control components also including a user interface module. The user interface module consists of a switch button, a gear knob, and a display screen, which together serve the information interaction and control between the user and the equipment. The switch button, as a basic command input device, gives the user the right to directly start or stop the cleaning process. It is essentially a normally open mechanical switch. When the user presses it, its internal contacts are momentarily connected, generating an electrical signal jump. This signal is continuously scanned and captured by the controller module 54, thereby triggering the preset start / stop logic. The button automatically resets after being released.

[0065] The gear selector knob provides an intuitive way to configure parameters. Its core function is to allow users to select different cleaning durations by rotating it to meet different needs. The rotation of the knob drives the internal encoder, which converts the rotation angle and direction into specific digital pulse signals and transmits them to the controller. The controller decodes these signals to accurately determine the rotation direction and number of steps, and dynamically updates and stores the internal variable values ​​representing the selected cleaning time.

[0066] The display screen, serving as the primary information feedback window, clearly shows the user the remaining time of the cleaning process in real time, enhancing operational transparency and a sense of control. It is itself a controlled output device; the controller module 54 continuously tracks the timing status and calculates the remaining time, periodically sending a data stream containing display content and position instructions to the display screen's controller chip via a dedicated interface. This drives the screen's pixel array to form user-recognizable characters and numbers, and continuously refreshes to ensure accurate and real-time information presentation. The power button and gear selector knob are responsible for receiving user trigger commands and configuration inputs, respectively. The controller processes these input signals and executes control logic, ultimately displaying key status information intuitively to the user. These three components work together to achieve efficient and clear two-way human-machine interaction.

[0067] In one embodiment, the electronic control component further includes a water level sensor, which is disposed in the wastewater storage tank 04, and the output terminal of the water level sensor is electrically connected to the controller module 54.

[0068] In this embodiment, a water level sensor is installed inside the wastewater storage tank 04, which can accurately and in real time detect changes in the height of the liquid accumulated inside the wastewater storage tank 04. As the cleaning process proceeds, the amount of wastewater in the wastewater storage tank 04 will continuously increase. By continuously monitoring the liquid level, the water level sensor provides the control system with crucial information about the current liquid status of the wastewater tank. When a high water level signal is received, the controller will immediately issue a command to remind the user to dispose of the wastewater in the wastewater storage tank 04, thereby preventing wastewater overflow accidents.

Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
