[0025] The terms “a,” “one,” “the,” and “the” are used to indicate the existence of one or more elements / components / etc.; the terms “including” and “having” are used to indicate an open-ended inclusion meaning and that there may be other elements / components / etc. in addition to the listed elements / components / etc.; the terms “first” and “second” are used only as markers and are not a limitation on the number of objects.

[0026] This disclosure provides a cleaning system 01 in some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the cleaning system 01 may include: cleaning equipment 1, base station 2, and sewage pipe 3. Among them, the cleaning equipment 1 may be a window cleaning machine, which can be attached to the surface to be cleaned to clean the surface, but it is not limited to this. The cleaning equipment 1 may also be other types of cleaning equipment, which can be selected and set according to the actual situation.

[0027] The cleaning device 1 may include a water outlet 11 and a water suction device 12. Cleaning water can be sprayed onto the surface to be cleaned through the water outlet 11 to improve the cleaning effect. The water outlet 11 may include, but is not limited to, a spray nozzle. Wastewater after cleaning the surface can be removed by the water suction device 12 to ensure that no wastewater residue remains on the cleaned surface. The water suction device 12 may include, but is not limited to, a squeegee.

[0028] Base station 2 may include a liquid supply module 21, which may store cleaning liquid, such as clean water or cleaning solution. The liquid supply module 21 may be connected to a water outlet 11 to deliver the liquid to the water outlet 11 and spray it out through the water outlet 11. Cleaning system 01 may include a liquid supply pipe 6, which may connect the liquid supply module 21 and the water outlet 11.

[0029] The liquid supply module 21 may include a liquid storage tank 211 and a first delivery pump 212. The liquid storage tank 211 may have a water outlet, and the first delivery pump 212 may be connected to the water outlet and the water outlet component 11 to provide a power source for liquid delivery. The first delivery pump 212 may be a centrifugal pump, a reciprocating pump, a peristaltic pump, etc.

[0030] The first delivery pump 212 can be directly connected to the water outlet and communicated with the water outlet component 11 via the liquid supply pipe 6, thus providing a stable connection position for the first delivery pump 212 using the liquid storage tank 211. Simultaneously, placing the first delivery pump 212 at the water outlet shortens the distance between the first delivery pump 212 and the liquid storage tank 211, facilitating the pumping of liquid. However, this is not a limitation; the first delivery pump 212 can also be installed on the cleaning device 1 and communicated with the water outlet via the liquid supply pipe 6, or it can be installed between the cleaning device 1 and the liquid storage tank 211, and can be connected to both the water outlet component 11 and the water outlet via the liquid supply pipe 6.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, the base station 2 may also include a sewage collection module 22. The water suction component 12 and the sewage collection module 22 can be connected through a sewage pipe 3. The sewage collection module 22 can be configured to collect the sewage absorbed by the water suction component 12 through the sewage pipe 3, thereby preventing the sewage from accumulating in the cleaning equipment 1 due to failure to be discharged in time, which would cause damage to the cleaning equipment 1.

[0032] The sewage collection module 22 may include a sewage tank 221 and a third transfer pump 222. The third transfer pump 222 may be connected to the sewage tank 221 and the suction component 12 to provide a power source for sewage recycling. The third transfer pump 222 may be a centrifugal pump, a reciprocating pump, a peristaltic pump, etc.

[0033] The wastewater tank 221 may have a wastewater outlet, and the third transfer pump 222 may be directly connected to the wastewater outlet and connected to the suction unit 12 via the wastewater pipe 3. This allows the wastewater tank 221 to provide a stable connection point for the third transfer pump 222. Furthermore, placing the third transfer pump 222 at the wastewater outlet shortens the distance between the third transfer pump 222 and the wastewater tank 221, facilitating the pumping of wastewater. However, this is not a limitation; the third transfer pump 222 may also be installed on the cleaning equipment 1, or it may be installed between the cleaning equipment 1 and the storage tank 211, and the third transfer pump 222 may be connected to both the suction unit 12 and the wastewater outlet via the wastewater pipe 3.

[0034] However, after the water outlet 11 delivers sewage to the sewage collection module 22 through the sewage pipe 3, residual sewage may remain in the sewage pipe 3, causing blockage and odor. This will seriously affect the service life and performance of the cleaning system 01. In particular, when the cleaning equipment 1 is a window cleaning machine, during operation, the water outlet 11 of the window cleaning machine is connected to the sewage collection module 22 of the base station 2 through the sewage pipe 3. The sewage pipe 3 connecting the water outlet 11 and the sewage collection module 22 is relatively long, and it may bend during the operation of the cleaning equipment 1, making it more likely that residual sewage will remain in the sewage pipe 3, thus making it more prone to blockage and odor.

[0035] To solve this problem, such as Figures 2 to 9 As shown, this disclosure provides a new cleaning system 01, which can prevent the sewage pipe 3 from becoming clogged or producing odors, thereby improving the service life and effectiveness of the cleaning system 01. Specifically: like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the liquid supply module 21 can also selectively connect to the sewage pipe 3 to deliver the liquid stored inside to the sewage pipe 3. Therefore, the liquid delivered by the liquid supply module 21 can be used to clean the sewage pipe 3, removing residual sewage and preventing blockages. This improves the sewage flow efficiency of the subsequent sewage pipe 3, extending the service life and effectiveness of the cleaning equipment 1. Simultaneously, removing residual sewage from the sewage pipe 3 prevents odors, ensuring air quality in the environment where the cleaning equipment 1 is located and enhancing the user experience.

[0036] In addition, in this embodiment, only one liquid supply module 21 is used to simultaneously supply liquid to the water outlet 11 and the sewage pipe 3, so there is no need to set up a separate module for cleaning the sewage pipe 3, which can simplify the structure of the cleaning system 01 and save the manufacturing cost of the cleaning system 01.

[0037] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the selective connection of the liquid supply module 21 to the sewage pipe 3 can be understood as follows: during the cleaning process of the cleaning equipment 1 on the surface to be cleaned, the liquid supply module 21 can be connected to the water outlet 11 to deliver liquid to the water outlet 11 and use it to clean the surface to be cleaned. When the cleaning equipment 1 stops cleaning the surface to be cleaned, the liquid supply module 21 can be connected to the sewage pipe 3 to clean the sewage pipe 3. Therefore, the cleaning system 01 provided in this embodiment will not use the liquid supply module 21 to deliver liquid to the sewage pipe 3 when the cleaning equipment 1 is performing cleaning work, thereby ensuring the amount of liquid delivered to the water outlet 11 and ensuring the cleaning effect of the cleaning equipment 1. At the same time, it can also avoid the liquid supply module 21 delivering liquid to the sewage pipe 3 when the cleaning equipment 1 is performing cleaning work, which would cause the delivered liquid to occupy the sewage discharge space of the sewage pipe 3, thereby ensuring the sewage discharge efficiency of the sewage pipe 3 when the cleaning equipment 1 is performing cleaning work.

[0038] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the cleaning system 01 may include a delivery pipe 7, which connects to a liquid supply module 21 and a sewage pipe 3. The sewage pipe 3 may have a suction port 3a, a discharge port 3b, and a cleaning port 3c. The suction port 3a is connected to a suction unit 12, allowing sewage absorbed by the suction unit 12 to enter the sewage pipe 3. The discharge port 3b is connected to a sewage collection module 22, allowing sewage from the sewage pipe 3 to enter the sewage collection module 22. The cleaning port 3c is connected to the liquid supply module 21, allowing liquid supplied to the sewage pipe 3 by the liquid supply module 21 to enter the sewage pipe 3.

[0039] like Figure 2 As shown, the cleaning port 3c can be located at the end of the sewage pipe 3 near the suction port 3a, or, as... Figure 3 As shown, the cleaning port 3c can be located at the end of the sewage pipe 3 near the drain port 3b. This allows the liquid supplied by the liquid supply module 21 to flow as far as possible within the sewage pipe 3, thereby improving the cleaning effect on the sewage pipe 3. Furthermore, when the cleaning port 3c is located at the end of the sewage pipe 3 near the suction port 3a, the liquid used to clean the sewage pipe 3 can flow to the drain port 3b and be transported through the drain port 3b to the sewage collection module 22 for collection. When the cleaning port 3c is located at the end of the sewage pipe 3 near the drain port 3b, the liquid used to clean the sewage pipe 3 can flow to the suction port 3a and be transported through the suction port 3a to the suction unit 12, which can then discharge the liquid used to clean the sewage pipe 3 to the external environment where the cleaning system 01 is located.

[0040] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the cleaning system 01 may further include a first control valve 4, which can be connected to the cleaning port 3c and the liquid supply module 21. When the first control valve 4 is open, the cleaning port 3c and the liquid supply module 21 are connected, and the liquid in the liquid supply module 21 can be delivered to the sewage pipe 3 through the cleaning port 3c. When the first control valve 4 is closed, the cleaning port 3c and the liquid supply module 21 are not connected, and the liquid in the liquid supply module 21 will not be delivered to the sewage pipe 3 through the cleaning port 3c. That is, during the cleaning process of the cleaning equipment 1 cleaning the surface to be cleaned, the first control valve 4 can be closed so that the liquid in the liquid supply module 21 can only be supplied to the water outlet 11. After the cleaning equipment 1 stops cleaning the surface to be cleaned, the first control valve 4 can be opened so that the liquid in the liquid supply module 21 is supplied to the sewage pipe 3 for cleaning the sewage pipe 3.

[0041] like Figure 4 As shown, when the cleaning port 3c is located at the end of the sewage pipe 3 near the suction port 3a, with the first control valve 4 in the open state and the liquid supply module 21 in the working state, the sewage collection module 22 is also in the working state. This allows the sewage collection module 22 to ensure that the liquid used for cleaning the sewage pipe 3 flows directly to the sewage collection module 22 and not directly to the suction port 3a. This prevents liquid from leaking through the suction port 3a to the suction element 12 and also prevents liquid from leaking from the suction port into the external environment. Furthermore, this arrangement ensures that the liquid can flow a longer distance within the sewage pipe 3, guaranteeing the effectiveness of cleaning the sewage pipe 3.

[0042] like Figure 5 As shown, when the cleaning port 3c is located at the end of the sewage pipe 3 near the drain port 3b, the sewage collection module 22 is in a non-working state when the first control valve 4 is in the open state and the liquid supply module 21 is in the working state. This ensures that the liquid for cleaning the sewage pipe 3 can flow to the suction port 3a and be discharged through the suction component 12, and will not allow the liquid for cleaning the sewage pipe 3 to flow into the sewage supply module through the drain port 3b, thus ensuring the effectiveness of liquid cleaning of the sewage pipe 3.

[0043] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the cleaning system 01 may also include a second control valve 5, which may include, but is not limited to, a solenoid valve. The second control valve 5 may be connected to the water outlet 11 and the liquid supply module 21. That is, the cleaning system 01 is provided with two independent control valves (the first control valve 4 and the second control valve 5) to control the on / off state of the cleaning port 3c and the liquid supply module 21, and to control the on / off state of the water outlet 11 and the liquid supply module 21, respectively.

[0044] When the second control valve 5 is open, the water outlet 11 can be connected to the liquid supply module 21, and the liquid in the liquid supply module 21 can be delivered to the water outlet 11 through the water outlet. When the second control valve 5 is closed, the water outlet 11 is not connected to the liquid supply module 21, and the liquid in the liquid supply module 21 will not be delivered to the water outlet 11 through the water outlet.

[0045] When the second control valve 5 is open, the first control valve 4 can be closed; when the first control valve 4 is open, the second control valve 5 can be closed. That is, during the cleaning process of the cleaning equipment 1, the second control valve 5 can be opened and the first control valve 4 can be closed, so that the liquid in the liquid supply module 21 can only be supplied to the water outlet 11. After the cleaning equipment 1 stops cleaning the surface to be cleaned, the second control valve 5 can be closed and the first control valve 4 can be opened, so that the liquid in the liquid supply module 21 can only be supplied to the sewage pipe 3 for cleaning the sewage pipe 3.

[0046] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the first control valve 4 may include a reversing valve 41, which may be a two-position three-way reversing valve 41. The water inlet of the reversing valve 41 may be connected to the liquid supply module 21, the first water outlet of the reversing valve 41 may be connected to the water outlet 11, and the second water outlet of the reversing valve 41 may be connected to the cleaning port 3c.

[0047] The reversing valve 41 can have a first position and a second position, and can switch between the first and second positions. When the reversing valve 41 is in the first position, the liquid supply module 21 is connected to the water outlet 11 and disconnected from the cleaning port 3c. At this time, the liquid supply module 21 can only supply liquid to the water outlet 11. When the reversing valve 41 is in the second position, the liquid supply module 21 can be connected to the cleaning port 3c and disconnected from the water outlet 11. At this time, the liquid supply module 21 can only supply liquid to the sewage pipe 3. That is, during the cleaning process of the cleaning equipment 1 cleaning the surface to be cleaned, the reversing valve 41 can be switched to the first position. After the cleaning equipment 1 stops cleaning the surface to be cleaned, the reversing valve 41 can be switched to the second position.

[0048] In some embodiments, such as Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, the liquid storage tank 211 may have two outlets, and the first transfer pump 212 is connected to one outlet and the outlet component 11. The liquid supply module may also include a second transfer pump 213, which is connected to the other outlet and the cleaning port 3c. The second transfer pump 213 may be configured to transfer the liquid in the liquid storage tank 211 to the cleaning port 3c. The second transfer pump 213 may be a centrifugal pump, a reciprocating pump, a peristaltic pump, etc.

[0049] The second delivery pump 213 can be directly connected to the water outlet and connected to the cleaning port 3c via the delivery pipe 7, thus providing a stable connection point for the second delivery pump 213 using the storage tank 211. Simultaneously, placing the second delivery pump 213 at the water outlet shortens the distance between the second delivery pump 213 and the storage tank 211, facilitating the pumping of liquid. However, this is not a limitation; the second delivery pump 213 can also be located at the cleaning port 3c and connected to the water outlet via the delivery pipe 7, or it can be located between the sewage pipe 3 and the storage tank 211, and connected to both the cleaning port 3c and the water outlet via the delivery pipe 7.

[0050] like Figure 8 As shown, when the cleaning port 3c is located at the end of the sewage pipe 3 near the suction port 3a, the sewage collection module 22 can be in operation when the second delivery pump 213 is working. This allows the sewage collection module 22 to ensure that the liquid pumped to the sewage pipe 3 by the second delivery pump 213 flows directly to the sewage collection module 22 and not to the suction port 3a. This prevents liquid from leaking through the suction port 3a to the suction element 12 and from leaking into the external environment. Furthermore, this arrangement ensures that the liquid can flow a longer distance within the sewage pipe 3, guaranteeing its cleaning effect.

[0051] like Figure 9 As shown, when the cleaning port 3c is located at the end of the sewage pipe 3 near the drain port 3b, the sewage collection module 22 is not working when the second delivery pump 213 is in operation. This ensures that the liquid pumped to the sewage pipe 3 by the second delivery pump 213 can flow to the suction port 3a and be discharged through the suction component 12, instead of allowing the liquid used to clean the sewage pipe 3 to flow into the sewage supply module through the drain port 3b, thus ensuring the effectiveness of liquid cleaning of the sewage pipe 3.

[0052] In some embodiments, such as Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, when the second transfer pump 213 is in operation, the first transfer pump 212 can also be in operation. Since the pipeline through which the first transfer pump 212 pumps liquid to the outlet 11 and the pipeline through which the second transfer pump 213 pumps liquid to the sewage pipe 3 are independent of each other, there will be no interference when the first transfer pump 212 and the second transfer pump 213 are working simultaneously. This allows the cleaning system 01 to clean the sewage pipe 3 while using the cleaning equipment 1 to clean the surface to be cleaned.

[0053] However, this is not the only option. When the second transfer pump 213 is in operation, the first transfer pump 212 can be inactive. This configuration ensures that the second transfer pump 213 can pump a sufficient amount of liquid into the sewage pipe 3, thus guaranteeing the effective cleaning of the sewage pipe 3.

[0054] This disclosure also provides a method for operating the cleaning system 01. This method for operating the cleaning system 01 can be applied to the cleaning system 01 described above, but is not limited thereto. For example... Figure 10 As shown, the working method of cleaning system 01 may include: Step S10: Control the liquid supply module to selectively deliver liquid to the sewage pipe to clean the sewage pipe.

[0055] Therefore, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the liquid supplied by the liquid supply module 21 can be used to clean the sewage pipe 3, removing residual sewage from it and preventing blockages. This improves the sewage flow efficiency of the subsequent sewage pipe 3, extending the service life and effectiveness of the cleaning equipment 1. Simultaneously, removing residual sewage from the sewage pipe 3 prevents odors, ensuring air quality in the environment where the cleaning equipment 1 is located and enhancing the user experience.

[0056] In some embodiments, the cleaning system 01 has a self-cleaning mode, such as... Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in step S10, when the cleaning system 01 is in self-cleaning mode, the liquid supply module 21 is controlled to deliver liquid to the sewage pipe 3 to clean the sewage pipe 3.

[0057] Therefore, the cleaning system 01 provided in this embodiment only cleans the sewage pipe 3 in self-cleaning mode. This means that when the cleaning equipment 1 is performing routine cleaning, the cleaning system 01 will not use the liquid supply module 21 to supply liquid to the sewage pipe 3, thus ensuring the amount of liquid supplied to the outlet 11 and guaranteeing the cleaning effect of the cleaning equipment 1. At the same time, it also avoids the liquid supply module 21 supplying liquid to the sewage pipe 3 during routine cleaning, which would occupy the sewage pipe 3's drainage space, thereby ensuring the sewage pipe 3's drainage efficiency when the cleaning equipment 1 is cleaning.

[0058] In addition, this setting can improve the user's freedom of operation. The user can switch the mode of the cleaning system 01 according to their own needs. When the user thinks that the sewage pipe 3 needs to be cleaned, the user can turn on the self-cleaning mode so that the liquid supply module 21 can automatically deliver liquid to the suction pipe to clean the suction pipe.

[0059] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the sewage pipe 3 may have a cleaning port 3c, and the cleaning system 01 may include a first control valve 4. In step S10, the first control valve 4 may be controlled to open so as to connect the cleaning port 3c with the liquid supply module 21, so that the liquid is delivered to the sewage pipe 3 through the cleaning port 3c.

[0060] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the first control valve 4 may include a reversing valve 41. In step S10, the reversing valve 41 can be controlled to switch to the second position, connecting the liquid supply module 21 to the cleaning port 3c and disconnecting the liquid supply module 21 from the water outlet 11. At this time, the liquid supply module 21 can only supply liquid to the sewage pipe 3. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the reversing valve 41 can be controlled to switch to the first position, connecting the liquid supply module 21 to the water outlet 11 and disconnecting the liquid supply module 21 from the cleaning port 3c. At this time, the liquid supply module 21 can only supply liquid to the water outlet 11.

[0061] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 6As shown, the cleaning port 3c is located at the end of the sewage pipe 3 near the suction port 3a. In step S10, the sewage collection module 22 can be turned on, putting it into operation and collecting the liquid after cleaning the sewage pipe 3. This ensures that the liquid from cleaning the sewage pipe 3 flows directly to the sewage collection module 22 and not towards the suction port 3a, thus preventing leakage from the suction port 3a to the suction element 12 and from the external environment. Simultaneously, it ensures that the liquid can flow a longer distance within the sewage pipe 3, guaranteeing the effectiveness of cleaning the sewage pipe 3.

[0062] Or, such as Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the cleaning port 3c can be located at the end of the sewage pipe 3 near the drain port 3b. In step S10, the sewage collection module 22 can be controlled to close, causing the sewage collection module 22 to stop working. In this way, it can be ensured that the liquid for cleaning the sewage pipe 3 can flow to the suction port 3a and be discharged through the suction element 12, without allowing the liquid for cleaning the sewage pipe 3 to flow into the sewage supply module through the drain port 3b, thus ensuring the effectiveness of liquid cleaning of the sewage pipe 3.

[0063] In some embodiments, such as Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the liquid supply module 21 may include a storage tank 211, a first delivery pump 212, and a second delivery pump 213. In step S10, the second delivery pump 213 can be controlled to start, so as to use the second delivery pump 213 to deliver the liquid in the storage tank 211 to the cleaning port 3c. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the first delivery pump 212 can be controlled to start, so as to use the first delivery pump 212 to deliver the liquid in the storage tank 211 to the water outlet 11.

[0064] Furthermore, such as Figure 8 As shown, the cleaning port 3c is located at the end of the sewage pipe 3 near the suction port 3a. In step S10, the sewage collection module 22 can be turned on, putting it into operation and collecting the liquid after cleaning the sewage pipe 3. This ensures that the liquid pumped to the sewage pipe 3 by the second delivery pump 213 flows to the sewage collection module 22 instead of the suction port 3a, preventing leakage to the suction element 12 and the external environment. This arrangement also ensures that the liquid can flow a longer distance within the sewage pipe 3, guaranteeing the cleaning effect.

[0065] Or, such as Figure 9As shown, the cleaning port 3c can be located at the end of the sewage pipe 3 near the drain port 3b. In step S10, the sewage collection module 22 can be controlled to close, so that the sewage collection module 22 stops working. This ensures that the liquid pumped to the sewage pipe 3 by the second delivery pump 213 can flow to the suction port 3a and be discharged through the suction component 12, instead of allowing the liquid used to clean the sewage pipe 3 to flow into the sewage supply module through the drain port 3b, thus ensuring the effectiveness of the liquid cleaning of the sewage pipe 3.
