[0020] Optional embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0021] In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides a method for cloth washing of a self-cleaning maintenance station. As an example, FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of an overall structure of a self-cleaning maintenance station for implementing the method. The structure of the self-cleaning maintenance station is only for the convenience of understanding the method for cloth washing of the self-cleaning maintenance station, and has no substantial limitation on the method for cloth washing. That is, the method for cloth washing is applicable to a self-cleaning maintenance station of any other corresponding structure.

[0022] For a clearer description of the behavior of the self-cleaning maintenance station, the directions are defined as follows: the self-cleaning maintenance station may be calibrated by defining the following three mutually perpendicular axes: a transverse axis Y, a front-rear axis X, and a central perpendicular axis Z. An opposite direction of the arrow along the front-rear axis X, that is, a direction where the automatic cleaning device enters the self-cleaning maintenance station, is marked as "rearward", and a direction of the arrow along the front-rear axis X, that is, a direction where the automatic cleaning device leaves the self-cleaning maintenance station, is marked as "forward". The transverse axis Y is substantially along a width direction of the self-cleaning maintenance station main body. A direction of the arrow along the transverse axis Y is the "left side" of the self-cleaning maintenance station, and an opposite direction of the arrow along the transverse axis Y is the "right side" of the self-cleaning maintenance station. The perpendicular axis Z is a direction extending upward along the bottom surface of the self-cleaning maintenance station. A direction of the arrow along the perpendicular axis Z is the "upper side" of the self-cleaning maintenance station, and an opposite direction of the arrow along the perpendicular axis Z is the "lower side" of the self-cleaning maintenance station.

[0023] As shown in FIG. 1, the self-cleaning maintenance station according to the embodiments includes a self-cleaning maintenance station bottom plate 1000 and a self-cleaning maintenance station main body 2000. The self-cleaning maintenance station bottom plate 1000 is detachably or non-detachably connected to the self-cleaning maintenance station main body 2000. The detachable connection facilitates the transportation and maintenance of the self-cleaning maintenance station bottom plate 1000 and the self-cleaning maintenance station main body 2000.

[0024] The self-cleaning maintenance station main body 2000 includes a water storage cavity 2700 and a dust collection cavity 2800. The water storage cavity 2700 is arranged at the top of the self-cleaning maintenance station main body 2000 with an opening facing upward. The water storage cavity 2700 is configured to accommodate a clean water tank 4000 and a wastewater tank 5000. The dust collection cavity 2800 is arranged at the top end of the self-cleaning maintenance station main body 2000 side by side with the water storage cavity 2700 with an opening facing upward. The dust collection cavity 2800 is configured to accommodate a dust collection cover 6000. The clean water tank 4000, the wastewater tank 5000, and the dust collection cover 6000 are assembled on the self-cleaning maintenance station main body 2000. For example, the clean water tank 4000, the wastewater tank 5000, the dust collection cover 6000, and the self-cleaning maintenance station main body 2000 may be integrally arranged, thereby resulting in a neat appearance and facilitating transportation.

[0025] A cleaning cavity 2100 with an opening facing forward is formed between the lower portion of the self-cleaning maintenance station main body 2000 and the self-cleaning maintenance station bottom plate 1000, jointly formed by the two. The cleaning cavity 2100 is configured to accommodate the automatic cleaning device when the automatic cleaning device returns to the self-cleaning maintenance station for a maintenance operation. The self-cleaning maintenance station main body is provided with a cleaning tank 4500 at the bottom, and is configured to clean a cleaning component, such as a mop, on the automatic cleaning device by the cleaning tank 4500 after the automatic cleaning device is fitted into the cleaning cavity 2100.

[0026] As described above, during the normal operation of the self-cleaning maintenance station, there is residual water in at least part of the water circuits (such as the clean water tank 4000, the wastewater tank 5000, the cleaning tank 4500, or the pipeline) of the self-cleaning maintenance station. When the user needs to pack or carry the kit, it is necessary to empty the residual water inside to avoid damage to the product due to water leakage during transportation.

[0027] In the related art, the cleaning solution tank and the clean water tank are integrally arranged. The cleaning solution in the cleaning solution tank is pumped into the clean water tank by the cleaning solution pump, mixing with clean water to form a mixed solution. Therefore, the self-cleaning maintenance station can only use the mixed solution to clean the cleaning cloth in the automatic cleaning device. If the cleaning solution on the cleaning cloth cannot be thoroughly cleaned, it may cause secondary pollution to the operating environment during the operation of the automatic cleaning device.

[0028] To this end, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for cloth washing of a self-cleaning maintenance station.

[0029] The embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] The present disclosure provides a method for cloth washing of a self-cleaning maintenance station, which includes the following method steps: In step S10, in response to receiving a cloth washing instruction for the automatic cleaning device, a cleaning cloth of the automatic cleaning device arranged in place in the self-cleaning maintenance station is cleaned based on a preset cloth washing strategy.

[0031] As shown in FIG. 8, cleaning, based on the preset cloth washing strategy, the cleaning cloth of the automatic cleaning device arranged in place in the self-cleaning maintenance station at least includes: In step S100, the cleaning cloth is washed based on a preset washing strategy of the preset cloth washing strategy.

[0032] The preset cloth washing strategy is a series of preset strategies for cleaning the cleaning cloth. The preset cloth washing strategy at least includes the preset washing strategy and a preset rinsing strategy.

[0033] The preset washing strategy refers to a strategy of washing the cleaning cloth with a mixed solution of a cleaning solution and clean water.

[0034] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, before the preset rinsing strategy is executed, the cleaning cloth is first washed with the mixed solution of the cleaning solution and the clean water, so as to remove stubborn dirt from the cleaning cloth.

[0035] In step S101, the cleaning cloth of the automatic cleaning device arranged in place in the self-cleaning maintenance station is rinsed based on the preset rinsing strategy of the preset cloth washing strategy.

[0036] The cloth washing instruction is transmitted by the automatic cleaning device or a mobile terminal. For example, the user transmits the cloth washing instruction to the automatic cleaning device using a mobile APP through wireless communication, and the automatic cleaning device forwards the cloth washing instruction to the self-cleaning maintenance station after receiving the cloth washing instruction; alternatively, the user directly transmits the cloth washing instruction to the self-cleaning maintenance station using a mobile APP through wireless communication.

[0037] The automatic cleaning device in place in the self-cleaning maintenance station may be understood as the automatic cleaning device returning to the self-cleaning maintenance station and entering the cleaning cavity. In this case, the cleaning cloth in the automatic cleaning device is located in the cleaning tank 4500 or suspended at a cleanable position above the cleaning tank 4500.

[0038] The cleaning cloth refers to a mop used when the automatic cleaning device mops the floor.

[0039] The preset rinsing strategy refers to a strategy of rinsing the cleaning cloth with the clean water.

[0040] In the related art, the cleaning cloth in the automatic cleaning device is cleaned with the mixed solution of the clean water and the cleaning solution, and the cleaning solution remains on the cleaning cloth after cleaning. However, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, a rinsing step is added, and the cleaning cloth is rinsed with clean water, thereby reducing the amount of the cleaning solution remaining on the cleaning cloth, and reducing secondary pollution of the automatic cleaning device to the environment during cleaning.

[0041] In some embodiments, rinsing, based on the preset rinsing strategy of the preset cloth washing strategy, the cleaning cloth of the automatic cleaning device arranged in place in the self-cleaning maintenance station includes the following step: In step S101a, the clean water pump and / or the tap water valve in the self-cleaning maintenance station are controlled to deliver clean water into the cleaning tank 4500 in the self-cleaning maintenance station or onto the cleaning cloth at the cleanable position, and the cleaning cloth is rinsed with the clean water.

[0042] The cleanable position is located above the cleaning tank 4500. The cleaning cloth is suspended above the cleaning tank 4500.

[0043] In some embodiments, the clean water pump is used to deliver clean water into the cleaning tank 4500 in the self-cleaning maintenance station or onto the cleaning cloth at the cleanable position.

[0044] For example, as shown in FIG. 2, the water supplying and draining process of the self-cleaning maintenance station includes: An automatic water supply system controls the self-cleaning maintenance station to be connected to an external water source 3000 (for example, tap water) to supply clean water to the clean water tank 4000. The clean water tank 4000 is provided with a full-level sensor. When the clean water tank 4000 is full of water, water supply to the clean water tank 4000 is stopped; when the water level of the clean water tank 4000 drops to a preset position, water is automatically supplied to the clean water tank 4000. The water in the clean water tank 4000 is supplied to the cleaning tank 4500 by the clean water pump 4100, the automatic cleaning device cleans the cleaning cloth in the cleaning tank 4500, and then the wastewater in the cleaning tank 4500 is sucked into the wastewater tank 5000 by the wastewater pump 2210. The wastewater tank 5000 is provided with a wastewater sensor. When the wastewater tank 5000 is full of water, suction of wastewater by the wastewater pump 2210 is stopped, and the wastewater in the wastewater tank 5000 is drained out of the wastewater tank by a drainage pump 5100; when the cleaning cloth is located in the cleaning tank 4500, whether the clean water stored in the clean water tank 4000 is drained into the cleaning tank 4500 is controlled by the clean water pump 4100.

[0045] For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the water supplying and draining process of the self-cleaning maintenance station includes: An automatic water supply system controls the self-cleaning maintenance station to be connected to an external water source 3000 (for example, tap water) to supply clean water to the clean water tank 4000. The clean water tank 4000 is provided with a full-level sensor. When the clean water tank 4000 is full of water, water supply to the clean water tank 4000 is stopped; when the water level of the clean water tank 4000 drops to a preset position, water is automatically supplied to the clean water tank 4000. The water in the clean water tank 4000 is supplied onto the cleaning cloth at the cleanable position by the clean water pump 4100 and a cleaner 4600, and then the received wastewater in the cleaning tank 4500 is sucked into the wastewater tank 5000 by the wastewater pump 2210. The wastewater tank 5000 is provided with a wastewater sensor. When the wastewater tank 5000 is full of water, suction of wastewater by the wastewater pump 2210 is stopped, and the wastewater in the wastewater tank 5000 is drained out of the wastewater tank by a drainage pump 5100; when the cleaning cloth is suspended at the cleanable position above the cleaning tank, the clean water pump 4100 controls whether to deliver clean water onto the cleaning cloth at the cleanable position.

[0046] In some other embodiments, the tap water valve is an electric valve and is directly connected to a water pipe of the external water source 3000. The tap water valve 4700 is configured to control the opening and closing of the water pipe of the external water source 3000. The tap water valve can directly deliver water from the external water source 3000 into the cleaning tank 4500 or onto the cleaning cloth at the cleanable position.

[0047] For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the water supplying and draining process of the self-cleaning maintenance station includes: An automatic water supply system controls the self-cleaning maintenance station to be connected to an external water source 3000 (for example, tap water), and the tap water valve 4700 is configured to control the opening and closing of the water pipe of the external water source 3000; clean water is supplied to the cleaning tank 4500, the automatic cleaning device cleans the cleaning cloth in the cleaning tank 4500, and then the wastewater in the cleaning tank 4500 is sucked into the wastewater tank 5000 by the wastewater pump 2210. The wastewater tank 5000 is provided with a wastewater sensor. When the wastewater tank 5000 is full of water, suction of wastewater by the wastewater pump 2210 is stopped, and the wastewater in the wastewater tank 5000 is drained out of the wastewater tank by a drainage pump 5100; when the cleaning cloth is located in the cleaning tank 4500, whether the clean water stored in the clean water tank 4000 is drained into the cleaning tank 4500 is controlled by the clean water pump 4100.

[0048] For example, as shown in FIG. 5, the water supplying and draining process of the self-cleaning maintenance station includes: An automatic water supply system controls the self-cleaning maintenance station to be connected to an external water source 3000 (for example, tap water), and the tap water valve 4700 is configured to control the opening and closing of the water pipe of the external water source 3000. Clean water is supplied onto the cleaning cloth at the cleanable position by a cleaner 4600 to clean the cleaning cloth, and then the received wastewater in the cleaning tank 4500 is sucked into the wastewater tank 5000 by the wastewater pump 2210. The wastewater tank 5000 is provided with a wastewater sensor. When the wastewater tank 5000 is full of water, suction of wastewater by the wastewater pump 2210 is stopped, and the wastewater in the wastewater tank 5000 is drained out of the wastewater tank by a drainage pump 5100; when the cleaning cloth is suspended at the cleanable position above the cleaning tank, the tap water valve 4700 controls whether to deliver clean water onto the cleaning cloth at the cleanable position.

[0049] In yet other embodiments, both the clean water pump 4100 and the tap water valve are used to deliver clean water into the cleaning tank 4500 in the self-cleaning maintenance station or onto the cleaning cloth at the cleanable position.

[0050] For example, as shown in FIG. 6, the water supplying and draining process of the self-cleaning maintenance station includes: An automatic water supply system controls the self-cleaning maintenance station to be connected to an external water source 3000 (for example, tap water), the tap water valve 4700 is configured to control the external water source 3000 to directly supply clean water to the cleaning tank 4500, the external water source 3000 can also automatically supply clean water to the cleaning tank 4000, clean water can be simultaneously supplied to the cleaning tank 4500 by the clean water pump 4100 that controls the clean water tank 4000 and the tap water valve 4700, the automatic cleaning device cleans the cleaning cloth in the cleaning tank 4500, and then the wastewater in the cleaning tank 4500 is sucked into the wastewater tank 5000 by the wastewater pump 2210. The wastewater tank 5000 is provided with a wastewater sensor. When the wastewater tank 5000 is full of water, suction of wastewater by the wastewater pump 2210 is stopped, and the wastewater in the wastewater tank 5000 is drained out of the wastewater tank by a drainage pump 5100.

[0051] For example, as shown in FIG. 7, the water supplying and draining process of the self-cleaning maintenance station includes: An automatic water supply system controls the self-cleaning maintenance station to be connected to an external water source 3000 (for example, tap water), the tap water valve 4700 is configured to control the external water source 3000 to directly supply clean water to the cleaning cloth at the cleanable position, the external water source 3000 can also automatically supply clean water to the cleaning tank 4000, clean water can be simultaneously supplied, by the clean water pump 4100 that controls the clean water tank 4000 and the tap water valve 4700, to the cleaning cloth at the cleanable position via a cleaner 4600 to clean the cleaning cloth, and then the wastewater in the cleaning tank 4500 is sucked into the wastewater tank 5000 by the wastewater pump 2210. The wastewater tank 5000 is provided with a wastewater sensor. When the wastewater tank 5000 is full of water, suction of wastewater by the wastewater pump 2210 is stopped, and the wastewater in the wastewater tank 5000 is drained out of the wastewater tank by a drainage pump 5100.

[0052] In some embodiments, controlling the clean water pump and / or the tap water valve in the self-cleaning maintenance station to deliver the clean water into the cleaning tank in the self-cleaning maintenance station or onto the cleaning cloth at the cleanable position, and rinsing the cleaning cloth with the clean water includes the following steps: In step S101a-1, a first operating power of the clean water pump 4100, and / or a second operating power of the tap water valve, and a third operating power of the wastewater pump 2210 are determined based on a preset rinsing mode.

[0053] The first operating power refers to a power at which the clean water pump 4100 drains the clean water in the clean water tank 4000.

[0054] The second operating power refers to a power for opening or closing the tap water valve.

[0055] The third operating power refers to a power at which the wastewater pump 2210 drains the water in the clean water tank 4500.

[0056] The preset rinsing mode is preset for the cleanliness of the cleaning cloth in the automatic cleaning device. The preset rinsing mode varies with the cleanliness, and the first operating power of the clean water pump 4100, and / or the second operating power of the tap water valve, and the third operating power of the wastewater pump 2210 are also different. For example, for a relatively clean cleaning cloth, a preset fast rinsing mode may be adopted, and the first operating power of the clean water pump 4100, and / or the second operating power of the tap water valve, and the operating power of the wastewater pump 2210 are relatively low; for a relatively dirty cleaning cloth, a preset strong rinsing mode may be adopted, and the first operating power of the clean water pump 4100, and / or the second operating power of the tap water valve, and the third operating power of the wastewater pump 2210 are relatively high. Those skilled in the art can understand that "relatively high" and "relatively low" herein are relative. For example, in practical applications, the first operating power of the clean water pump in the preset fast rinsing mode is lower than the first operating power of the clean water pump in the preset strong rinsing mode, or the second operating power of the tap water valve in the preset fast rinsing mode is lower than the second operating power of the tap water valve in the preset strong rinsing mode, or the third operating power of the wastewater pump in the preset fast rinsing mode is lower than the third operating power of the wastewater pump in the preset strong rinsing mode. Specific values of the first, second, and third operating powers are not limited in the present application, provided that different operating powers can be achieved in different rinsing modes.

[0057] In step S101a-2, the clean water pump 4100, and / or the tap water valve, and the wastewater pump 2210 are respectively controlled to replace the rinsing water in the cleaning tank based on the first operating power, and / or the second operating power, and the third operating power when the cleaning cloth is rinsed with the clean water.

[0058] In some embodiments, respectively controlling, based on the first operating power, and / or the second operating power, and the third operating power, the clean water pump 4100, and / or the tap water valve, and the wastewater pump 2210 to replace the rinsing water in the cleaning tank when the cleaning cloth is rinsed with the clean water includes the following steps: In step S101a-2a-1, the clean water pump 4100 and / or the tap water valve are respectively controlled to drain the clean water into the cleaning tank 4500 as the rinsing water based on the first operating power and / or the second operating power, and the cleaning cloth is then rinsed with the rinsing water. In step S101a-2a-2, the wastewater pump 2210 is controlled to drain the wastewater generated after the rinsing in the cleaning tank 4500 based on the third operating power upon completion of the rinsing.

[0059] In the embodiments, a method of first filling up with water, then rinsing, and then draining the wastewater after the rinsing is adopted. In this way, water consumption can be reduced. In this case, the first operating power of the clean water pump 4100 and / or the second operating power of the tap water valve do / does not need to match the third operating power of the wastewater pump 2210.

[0060] In some other embodiments, respectively controlling, based on the first operating power, and / or the second operating power, and the third operating power, the clean water pump 4100, and / or the tap water valve, and the wastewater pump 2210 to replace the rinsing water in the cleaning tank 4500 when the cleaning cloth is rinsed with the clean water includes the following steps: In step S101a-2b-1, the cleaning cloth in the cleaning tank 4500 is rinsed with the rinsing water in a process of respectively controlling, based on the first operating power and / or the second operating power, the clean water pump 4100 and / or the tap water valve to drain the clean water into the cleaning tank 4500 as the rinsing water. In step S101a-2b-2, the wastewater pump 2210 is controlled to drain the wastewater generated after the rinsing in the cleaning tank 4500 based on the third operating power upon completion of the rinsing.

[0061] In the embodiments, a method of supplying water while rinsing, and then draining the wastewater after the rinsing is adopted. In this way, water consumption can be reduced, and the rinsing time can be saved. In this case, the first operating power of the clean water pump 4100 and / or the second operating power of the tap water valve do / does not need to match the third operating power of the wastewater pump 2210 either.

[0062] In some other embodiments, respectively controlling, based on the first operating power, and / or the second operating power, and the third operating power, the clean water pump 4100, and / or the tap water valve, and the wastewater pump 2210 to replace the rinsing water in the cleaning tank 4500 when the cleaning cloth is rinsed with the clean water includes the following steps: In step S101a-2c, the cleaning cloth in the cleaning tank 4500 is rinsed with the rinsing water in a process of respectively controlling, based on the first operating power, and / or the second operating power, and the third operating power, the clean water pump 4100, and / or the tap water valve, and the wastewater pump 2210 to continuously replace the rinsing water in the cleaning tank 4500.

[0063] In the embodiments, water is supplied and drained simultaneously, such that the rinsing water in the cleaning tank 4500 is kept in a state of flowing and being replaced, and the cleaning cloth is rinsed in the replacement process. This allows for a cleaner rinse. In this case, the first operating power of the clean water pump 4100 and / or the second operating power of the tap water valve match / matches the third operating power of the wastewater pump. That is, the amount of the input clean water is balanced with the amount of the drained wastewater, so as to maintain the rinsing water in the cleaning tank 4500 at an appropriate height, thereby avoiding waste of resources caused by overflow due to excessive water supply and insufficient drainage, rinsing failure due to insufficient water supply and excessive drainage, or excessive operating of the wastewater pump 2210.

[0064] In some other embodiments, rinsing the cleaning cloth in the cleaning tank 4500 with the rinsing water in the process of respectively controlling, based on the first operating power, and / or the second operating power, and the third operating power, the clean water pump 4100, and / or the tap water valve, and the wastewater pump 2210 to continuously replace the rinsing water in the cleaning tank 4500 includes the following steps: In step S101a-2c-1, a preset water level range in the cleaning tank 4500 is determined based on the preset rinsing mode.

[0065] The preset water level range is used to avoid overflow from the cleaning tank 4500 due to excessive water supply and insufficient drainage, or rinsing failure due to insufficient water supply and excessive drainage, so as to ensure that the rinsing water is maintained at a water level that is suitable for rinsing and reduces rinsing water consumption.

[0066] In step S101a-2c-2, the clean water pump 4100 and / or the tap water valve are respectively controlled to continuously drain the clean water into the cleaning tank 4500 as the rinsing water based on the first operating power and / or the second operating power.

[0067] In step S101a-2c-3, the cleaning cloth is rinsed with the rinsing water when the height of the rinsing water is detected to exceed the lower limit of the preset water level range.

[0068] In the embodiments, a height sensor is provided in the cleaning tank 4500, and the height of the rinsing water in the cleaning tank 4500 is detected in real time by the height sensor. For example, the water level in the cleaning tank 4500 is sensed by a Hall element, a photoelectric sensor, or the like.

[0069] If the height of the rinsing water is lower than or equal to the lower limit of the preset water level range, the cleaning cloth is not rinsed, so as to avoid dry cleaning that causes wear to the cleaning cloth and shortens the service life of the cleaning cloth. The cleaning cloth is rinsed only when the height of the rinsing water exceeds the lower limit of the preset water level range, thereby extending the service life of the cleaning cloth.

[0070] In step S101a-2c-4, the wastewater pump 2210 is controlled to continuously drain the rinsing water based on the third operating power to maintain the height of the rinsing water in the cleaning tank 4500 within the preset water level range when the height of the rinsing water is detected to exceed the upper limit of the preset water level range.

[0071] In the embodiments, the height of the rinsing water exceeding the upper limit of the preset water level range is used as the condition for starting the wastewater pump 2210, such that the height of the rinsing water in the cleaning tank 4500 is maintained within the preset water level range, thereby avoiding overflow from the cleaning tank 4500 due to excessive water supply. This ensures effective cleaning of the cleaning cloth while reducing rinsing water consumption, thereby saving water resources. In some embodiments, the first operating power of the clean water pump 4100 and / or the second operating power of the tap water valve match / matches the third operating power of the wastewater pump 2210, such that water is supplied and drained simultaneously, thereby maintaining a dynamic balance of the rinsing water in the cleaning tank 4500, and avoiding damage to the wastewater pump 2210 caused by repeated starting of the wastewater pump 2210.

[0072] In step S101a-2c-5, the wastewater pump is stopped from draining wastewater in the cleaning tank 4500 when the height of the rinsing water is detected to be equal to zero.

[0073] In this step, since the wastewater pump 2210 is prevented from idling, power consumption of the cleaning maintenance station is reduced.

[0074] In some other embodiments, rinsing the cleaning cloth in the cleaning tank 4500 with the rinsing water in the process of respectively controlling, based on the first operating power, and / or the second operating power, and the third operating power, the clean water pump 4100, and / or the tap water valve, and the wastewater pump 2210 to continuously replace the rinsing water in the cleaning tank 4500 includes the following steps: In step S101a-2d-1, a preset first rinsing duration is determined based on the preset rinsing mode. In step S101a-2d-2, the rinsing of the cleaning cloth in the cleaning tank 4500 is stopped, and the clean water pump 4100 is stopped from draining the clean water into the cleaning tank 4500 when a rinsing duration is detected to be greater than or equal to the preset first rinsing duration.

[0075] The embodiments are used to stop the rinsing operation of the self-cleaning maintenance station.

[0076] In some other embodiments, respectively controlling, based on the first operating power, and / or the second operating power, and the third operating power, the clean water pump, and / or the tap water valve, and the wastewater pump 2210 to replace the rinsing water in the cleaning tank when the cleaning cloth is rinsed with the clean water includes the following steps: In step S101a-2e-1, the cleaning cloth is rinsed with the rinsing water in a process of respectively controlling, based on the first operating power and / or the second operating power, the clean water pump and / or the tap water valve to deliver the clean water onto the cleaning cloth at the cleanable position as the rinsing water. In step S101a-2e-2, the wastewater generated after the rinsing is received by the cleaning tank when the cleaning cloth is rinsed with the rinsing water.

[0077] In step S101a-2e-3, the wastewater pump 2210 is controlled to drain the wastewater in the cleaning tank based on the third operating power upon completion of the rinsing.

[0078] In the specific embodiments, a method of first rinsing the cleaning cloth at the cleanable position, and then draining the wastewater after the rinsing is adopted. In this way, water consumption can be reduced. In this case, the first operating power of the clean water pump 4100 and / or the second operating power of the tap water valve do / does not need to match the third operating power of the wastewater pump 2210.

[0079] In some other embodiments, the method further includes the following step: In step S101a-2e-2a, the wastewater pump 2210 is controlled to continuously drain the wastewater in the cleaning tank based on the third operating power when the wastewater generated after the rinsing is received by the cleaning tank 4500.

[0080] In the embodiments, a method of rinsing the cleaning cloth at the cleanable position while draining the wastewater is adopted. In this way, the rinsing time can be saved. When the first operating power of the clean water pump 4100 and / or the second operating power of the tap water valve match / matches the third operating power of the wastewater pump 2210, the wastewater received by the cleaning tank 4500 is drained immediately. In this case, the rinsing time is the shortest.

[0081] In some embodiments, controlling, based on the third operating power, the wastewater pump 2210 to continuously drain the wastewater in the cleaning tank 4500 when the wastewater generated after the rinsing is received by the cleaning tank 4500 includes the following steps: In step S101a-2e-2a-11, a preset water level threshold in the cleaning tank 4500 is determined based on the preset rinsing mode. The preset water level threshold is used to enable the wastewater level in the cleaning tank 4500 to be at an appropriate position, thereby avoiding overflow from the cleaning tank 4500 due to excessive received wastewater and insufficient drainage. In step S101a-2e-2a-12, the wastewater pump 2210 is controlled to continuously drain the wastewater based on the third operating power to enable the height of the wastewater in the cleaning tank 4500 to be less than or equal to the preset water level threshold when the height of the wastewater is detected to exceed the preset water level threshold.

[0082] In the embodiments, the cleaning tank 4500 is provided with a height sensor, and the height of the wastewater in the cleaning tank 4500 is detected in real time by the height sensor. For example, the wastewater level in the cleaning tank 4500 is sensed by a Hall element, a photoelectric sensor, or the like.

[0083] If the height of the wastewater is lower than or equal to the preset water level threshold, the wastewater in the cleaning tank 4500 is not drained.

[0084] In step S101a-2e-2a-13, the wastewater pump 2210 is stopped from draining the wastewater in the cleaning tank 4500 when the height of the wastewater is detected to be equal to zero.

[0085] In the embodiments, the height of the wastewater exceeding the preset water level threshold is used as the condition for starting the wastewater pump 2210, such that the height of the wastewater in the cleaning tank 4500 is maintained close to the preset water level threshold, thereby avoiding overflow from the cleaning tank 4500 due to excessive water supply, and avoiding energy consumption caused by repeated starting of the wastewater pump 2210. In some embodiments, the first operating power of the clean water pump 4100 and / or the second operating power of the tap water valve match / matches the third operating power of the wastewater pump 2210, such that the wastewater is received and drained simultaneously, thereby maintaining a dynamic balance of the rinsing water in the cleaning tank 4500, and avoiding damage to the wastewater pump 2210 caused by repeated starting of the wastewater pump 2210.

[0086] In some embodiments, controlling, based on the third operating power, the wastewater pump 2210 to continuously drain the wastewater in the cleaning tank 4500 when the wastewater generated after the rinsing is received by the cleaning tank 4500 includes the following steps: In step S101a-2e-2a-21, a preset second rinsing duration is determined based on the preset rinsing mode. In step S101a-2e-2a-22, the rinsing of the cleaning cloth at the cleanable position is stopped, and the clean water pump 4100 and / or the tap water valve is stopped from delivering the clean water onto the cleaning cloth at the cleanable position as the rinsing water when a rinsing duration is detected to be greater than or equal to the preset second rinsing duration.

[0087] The embodiments are used to stop the rinsing operation of the self-cleaning maintenance station.

[0088] In some embodiments, washing, based on the preset washing strategy of the preset cloth washing strategy, the cleaning cloth includes the following step: In step S100-1, a cleaning solution pump 4300 and a clean water pump 4100 and / or a tap water valve in the self-cleaning maintenance station are controlled to deliver the cleaning solution and the clean water into a cleaning tank 4500 in the self-cleaning maintenance station or onto the cleaning cloth at a cleanable position.

[0089] In some embodiments, controlling the cleaning solution pump 4300 and the clean water pump 4100 and / or the tap water valve in the self-cleaning maintenance station to deliver the cleaning solution and the clean water into the cleaning tank 4500 in the self-cleaning maintenance station or onto the cleaning cloth at the cleanable position includes the following step: In step S100-1a, the cleaning solution pump 4300 and the clean water pump 4100 and / or the tap water valve in the self-cleaning maintenance station are controlled to start in parallel, and a preset amount of the cleaning solution and a preset amount of the clean water are delivered into the cleaning tank 4500 in the self-cleaning maintenance station or onto the cleaning cloth at the cleanable position.

[0090] In the embodiments, the cleaning solution pump 4300 is not started to add the cleaning solution into the clean water in the clean water tank for mixing, nor is the clean water pump 4100 started to drain the mixed solution into the cleaning tank 4500. Instead, the cleaning solution pump 4300 and the clean water pump 4100 and / or the tap water valve are started in parallel to simultaneously deliver the cleaning solution and the clean water into the cleaning tank 4500 or onto the cleaning cloth, or simultaneously drain the cleaning solution and the clean water into a common water pipe for mixing, and then deliver the mixed solution into the cleaning tank 4500 or onto the cleaning cloth at the cleanable position, thereby reducing complexity of associated structures in the self-cleaning maintenance station and reducing the use cost of the device.

[0091] In some embodiments, controlling the cleaning solution pump 4300 and the clean water pump 4100 and / or the tap water valve in the self-cleaning maintenance station to start in parallel, and delivering the preset amount of the cleaning solution and the preset amount of the clean water into the cleaning tank 4500 in the self-cleaning maintenance station or onto the cleaning cloth at the cleanable position includes the following step: In step S100-1a-1, the cleaning solution pump 4300 and the clean water pump 4100 and / or the tap water valve in the self-cleaning maintenance station are controlled to start in parallel, the preset amount of the cleaning solution is mixed with the preset amount of the clean water in a multi-channel mixer 4400 of the self-cleaning maintenance station, and then the mixed solution is delivered into the cleaning tank 4500 in the self-cleaning maintenance station or onto the cleaning cloth at the cleanable position. In the embodiments, the multi-channel mixer 4400 is added to the self-cleaning maintenance station. The cleaning solution drained by the cleaning solution pump 4300 is mixed with the clean water drained by the clean water pump 4100 and / or the tap water valve at the multi-channel mixer 4400, and then the mixed solution is simultaneously drained into the cleaning tank 4500 or onto the cleaning cloth at the cleanable position. In step S100-2, the cleaning cloth is washed.

[0092] In the embodiments, before the preset rinsing strategy is executed, the cleaning cloth is first washed with the mixed solution of the cleaning solution and the clean water, thereby ensuring that the stubborn dirt can be removed from the cleaning cloth.

[0093] In some other embodiments, when the preset rinsing strategy is executed, the method further includes the following step: In step S102, the cleaning cloth is scraped based on a preset scraping strategy of the preset cloth washing strategy.

[0094] In the embodiments, when the preset rinsing strategy is executed, the cleaning cloth is scraped by adopting the preset scraping strategy, so as to shorten the cloth washing time.

[0095] In some other embodiments, after the preset rinsing strategy is executed, the method further includes the following step: In step S103, the cleaning cloth is dried based on a preset drying strategy of the preset cloth washing strategy.

[0096] In the embodiments, after the preset rinsing strategy is executed, the drying of the cleaning cloth is accelerated by adopting the preset drying strategy, so as to shorten the cloth washing time.

[0097] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, a preset rinsing strategy is added to a preset cloth washing strategy of the self-cleaning maintenance station, such that the self-cleaning maintenance station can rinse a cleaning cloth in an automatic cleaning device with clean water after washing, thereby reducing the amount of a cleaning solution remaining on the cleaning cloth, reducing secondary pollution of the automatic cleaning device to the environment during cleaning, and improving cleanliness of the cleaning cloth.
