[0016] Hereinafter, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described with reference to the drawings of the embodiments of the present application, and of course, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present application, any other embodiments that a person skilled in the art can obtain without inventive efforts fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0017] The flowcharts shown in the drawings are merely exemplary illustrations and do not necessarily include all contents and operations / steps, nor do they necessarily have to be performed in the order described. For example, some operations / steps may be further decomposed, combined, or partially integrated, and therefore the actual execution order may vary depending on the actual situation.

[0018] Referring to Figures (1) and (2), Figure (1) is a schematic diagram of a cleaning device 10 in a cleaning system according to the related art traveling to a base station 20, and Figure (2) is a schematic diagram of a base station 20 according to the related art connected to an external water pipe A and an external wastewater discharge pipe B. In the related art, the cleaning device 10, e.g., a cleaning robot, is generally used in cooperation with a base station 20, which can perform operations such as charging, cleaning, refilling purified water, and discharging wastewater on the cleaning device 10. The base station 20 is connected to a socket via a plug 21 and obtains electrical energy from a commercial power source. The base station 20 may be connected to an external water source device, e.g., a tap water source, via an external water pipe A, and may be connected to an external wastewater discharge device, e.g., a sewer, via an external wastewater discharge pipe B. The base station 20 is provided with a water purification chamber for temporarily storing purified water from the external water source device and a collection chamber for temporarily storing waste to be discharged to the external wastewater discharge device. A power supply member is provided on the base station 20, and a charging member is provided on the cleaning device 10. When the cleaning device 10 stays at a predetermined stopping position on the base station 20, the charging member of the cleaning device 10 comes into contact with the power supply member of the base station 20, and the base station 20 thereby charges the battery of the cleaning device 10. The base station 20 also supplies electrical energy obtained from the commercial power source to power consumption assemblies 22, such as valves / pumps, on the base station 20, thereby controlling the opening / closing and flow rate of the waterway.

[0019] The cleaning device 10 may be used to wipe the floor. After the cleaning device 10 has wiped the floor of a room for a predetermined period of time and the wiping member becomes dirty, the cleaning device 10 travels to the base station 20. The cleaning device 10 enters the base station 20 through a groove entrance on the base station 20 and stays at a predetermined stay position on the base station 20. At this time, the wiping member of the cleaning device 10 is accommodated above the cleaning groove, and the base station 20 supplies cleaning water from an external water source device (e.g., a faucet) through a water supply pipe to the cleaning groove to clean the wiping member, and discharges the dirty water used to clean the wiping member from the cleaning groove through a waste discharge pipe to an external waste discharge device (e.g., a drain).

[0020] Because the base station 20 needs to be connected to both a power source and a water source at the same time, taking into consideration factors such as installation size and safety, it is generally installed relatively close to a socket (e.g., in a living room) and is further connected to a toilet / balcony faucet or drain by a relatively long water pipe, which places higher requirements on the installation environment and therefore makes it difficult for users to install. The inventor of the present application has, through creative work, provided a solution that allows the base station 20 to be easily installed, which solution includes at least a base station 20 that does not need to be connected to an AC socket to draw power, and a cleaning device 10 that can supply power to the base station 20, and has improved a cleaning system including the base station 20 and the cleaning device 10, as well as a control method for the cleaning system, to at least facilitate the installation and use of the cleaning system.

[0021] Hereinafter, several embodiments of the present application will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Unless conflicting, the following examples and features of the examples may be combined with each other.

[0022] Please refer to Figure 1, which is a schematic block diagram of a cleaning system according to an embodiment of the present application. The cleaning system includes a cleaning device 100 and a first base station 200, and it will be understood that an embodiment of the present application further provides the cleaning device 100 and the first base station 200.

[0023] As shown in FIG. 1, the cleaning system according to the embodiment of the present application includes a cleaning device 100 and a first base station 200, where the first base station 200 is intended to be used in cooperation with the cleaning device 100.

[0024] Optionally, the first base station 200 is for performing at least one of the following tasks, but is not limited to: supplying purified water to the cleaning device 100, discharging dirty water or solid waste stored in the cleaning device 100, and cleaning or replacing cleaning members of the cleaning device 100.

[0025] The cleaning device 100 is for cleaning a surface to be cleaned. For example, the cleaning device 100 may be a handheld cleaning device 100 such as a handheld vacuum cleaner or a handheld mop, or an automatic cleaning device 100 such as a cleaning robot or a cleaning vehicle. For convenience of explanation, the embodiments of the present application will be mainly described using a cleaning robot as an example.

[0026] FIG. 2 is a schematic perspective view of a cleaning robot 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 3 is a bottom view of the cleaning robot 100 shown in FIG. 2, and FIG. 4 is another schematic structural view of the cleaning robot 100 shown in FIG. 2.

[0027] As shown in Figures 2 to 4, the cleaning robot 100 includes a robot body 101, a drive motor 102, a sensor unit 103, a controller 104, an energy storage unit 110, a traveling unit 106, a memory 107, a communication unit 108, a robot interaction unit 109, a cleaning member 105, and a charging member 111.

[0028] The cleaning members 105 may be used to clean the ground, and the number of cleaning members 105 may be one or more. The cleaning members 105 may include, for example, a mop. The mop may include, for example, at least one of a rotary mop, a flat mop, a drum mop, a crawler mop, etc., but is not limited thereto. The mop may be installed at the bottom of the robot body 101, specifically, located behind the bottom of the robot body 101. For example, when the cleaning member is a rotary mop, a drive motor 102 is installed inside the robot body 101, two rotary shafts extend from the bottom of the robot body 101, and the mops are fitted onto the rotary shafts. The drive motor 102 can drive the rotary shafts to rotate, which in turn drives the mop to rotate.

[0029] The propulsion unit 106 is a component related to the movement of the cleaning robot 100, and includes a driving wheel 1061 and a universal wheel 1062. The universal wheel 1062 and the driving wheel 1061 cooperate to realize the steering and movement of the cleaning robot 100.

[0030] The controller 104 is installed inside the robot body 101 and serves to control the cleaning robot 100 to perform specific operations. The controller 104 may be, for example, a central processing unit (CPU) or a microprocessor. As shown in Fig. 3, the controller 104 is electrically connected to components such as the energy storage unit 110, the memory 107, the driving motor 102, the traveling unit 106, the sensor unit 103, the robot interaction unit 109, and the cleaning element 105, thereby controlling these components.

[0031] The energy storage unit 110 is installed inside the robot body 101 , and the energy storage unit 110 is for supplying power to the cleaning robot 100 .

[0032] The robot body 101 is further provided with a charging member 111, which is used to obtain power from an external device to charge the energy storage unit 110 of the cleaning robot 100.

[0033] The memory 107 is installed in the robot body 101, and stores a program, which performs corresponding operations when executed by the controller 104. The memory 107 also stores parameters used by the cleaning robot 100. The memory 107 includes, but is not limited to, a magnetic disk memory, a compact disc read-only memory (CD-ROM), an optical memory, etc.

[0034] The communication unit 108 is installed on the robot body 101 and allows the cleaning robot 100 to communicate with external devices. The communication unit 108 includes, but is not limited to, a wireless fidelity (WI-FI) communication module 1081 and a short-range communication module 1082. The cleaning robot 100 can communicate with a terminal by connecting to a WI-FI router via the WI-FI communication module 1081. The cleaning robot 100 communicates with a base station via the short-range communication module 1082. The base station is a cleaning device used in cooperation with the cleaning robot 100.

[0035] The sensor unit 103 installed on the robot body 101 includes various types of sensors, such as a laser radar 1031, a collision sensor 1032, a distance sensor 1033, a fall sensor 1034, a counter 1035, and a gyroscope 1036.

[0036] The robot interaction unit 109 is installed on the robot body 101, and the user can interact with the cleaning robot 100 through the robot interaction unit 109. The robot interaction unit 109 includes components such as a switch button 1091 and a speaker 1092. The user can control the cleaning robot 100 to start or stop its operation by pressing the switch button 1091. The cleaning robot 100 can play prompting sounds to the user through the speaker 1092.

[0037] It should be understood that the cleaning robot 100 described in the embodiments of the present invention is merely one example and does not specifically limit the cleaning robot 100 of the embodiments of the present invention, and the cleaning robot 100 of the embodiments of the present invention may be realized in other specific ways. In other realizations, the cleaning device may have more or fewer components than the cleaning robot 100 shown in FIG. 1 . For example, the cleaning device may include a purified water chamber for storing purified water and / or a collection chamber for storing dirt. The cleaning device may deliver the purified water stored in the purified water chamber to the wiping members and / or the ground to moisten the wiping members and clean the ground with the moistened wiping members. The cleaning device may further collect dirt on the ground or dirt-containing dirt in the collection chamber. The cleaning device may further deliver the purified water stored in the purified water chamber to the wiping members to wash the wiping members. The dirt-containing dirt after washing the wiping members may be delivered to the collection chamber.

[0038] 1 , the cleaning device 100 includes a first energy storage unit 110 and a first electrical connection assembly 120 connected to the first energy storage unit 110. For example, the first energy storage unit 110 may include, but is not limited to, at least one of a battery, a supercapacitor, a flywheel energy storage unit, etc., as long as it can store power obtained from an external device via a charging member 111 of the cleaning robot 100 to supply power to the cleaning robot 100. The first electrical connection assembly 120 is connected to the first energy storage unit 110, thereby allowing the first electrical connection assembly 120 and the first energy storage unit 110 to transmit energy in the form of electrical energy.

[0039] As shown in FIG. 1 , the first base station 200 includes a second electrical connection assembly 210 for receiving electrical energy from the first electrical connection assembly 120 when the cleaning device 100 is docked with the first base station 200 such that the first electrical connection assembly 120 is coupled to the second electrical connection assembly 210, thereby enabling the first energy storage unit 110 of the cleaning device 100 to power the first base station 200 via the first electrical connection assembly 120 and the second electrical connection assembly 210.

[0040] For example, the first base station 200 may use electrical energy obtained from the cleaning device 100 to perform at least one of the following tasks, but is not limited to: supplying purified water to the cleaning device 100; discharging wastewater or solid waste stored in the cleaning device 100; and cleaning or replacing cleaning members of the cleaning device 100.

[0041] In some embodiments, the first base station 200 includes a power consuming assembly 220 .

[0042] 5a, the power consuming assembly 220 is connected to the second electrical connection assembly 210. When the cleaning device 100 is docked with the first base station 200 such that the first electrical connection assembly 120 is coupled to the second electrical connection assembly 210, the first energy storage unit 110 can supply power to the power consuming assembly 220 of the first base station 200 via the first electrical connection assembly 120 and the second electrical connection assembly 210. At this time, the second electrical connection assembly 210 obtains the electrical energy output by the first electrical connection assembly 120 and supplies the electrical energy to the power consuming assembly 220.

[0043] In some embodiments, the first base station 200 further includes a second energy storage unit 240, which can receive and store electrical energy from the second electrical connection assembly 210 and can provide power to the power consumption assembly 220. For example, the second energy storage unit 240 may include at least one of, but is not limited to, a battery, a supercapacitor, a flywheel energy storage unit, etc.

[0044] 5b, the second energy storage unit 230 is connected to the second electrical connection assembly 210 and the power consuming assembly 220, respectively. When the cleaning device 100 docks with the first base station 200 such that the first electrical connection assembly 120 is coupled to the second electrical connection assembly 210, the first energy storage unit 110 can supply power to the second energy storage unit 230 of the first base station 200 via the first electrical connection assembly 120 and the second electrical connection assembly 210, thereby enabling the second energy storage unit 230 to store electrical energy from the cleaning device 10 and supply it to the power consuming assembly 220.

[0045] 5c, the second energy storage unit 230 is connected to the second electrical connection assembly 210 and the power consuming assembly 220, respectively, and the power consuming assembly 220 is connected to the second electrical connection assembly 210. When the cleaning device 100 is docked with the first base station 200 such that the first electrical connection assembly 120 is coupled to the second electrical connection assembly 210, the first energy storage unit 110 can supply power to the second energy storage unit 230 of the first base station 200 via the first electrical connection assembly 120 and the second electrical connection assembly 210, thereby allowing the second energy storage unit 230 to store electrical energy from the cleaning device 10 and supply power to the power consuming assembly 220; the first energy storage unit 110 can also directly supply power to the power consuming assembly 220 of the first base station 200 via the first electrical connection assembly 120 and the second electrical connection assembly 210. As will be appreciated, the electrical energy of the power consumption assembly 220 may be supplied by the second energy storage unit 230, may be supplied by the second electrical connection assembly 210, or may be supplied partially by the second energy storage unit 230 and partially by the second electrical connection assembly 210.

[0046] In this way, the cleaning device 100 can supply power to the first base station 200, and the first base station does not need to find a socket to draw power, so the placement location of the first base station becomes more flexible and it is easier to install and use. Alternatively, the cleaning device 100 can be moved to the first base station 200 by itself and docked with the first base station 200, or the cleaning device 100 can be moved to the first base station 200 by a user and docked with the first base station 200.

[0047] It should be noted that docking of the cleaning device 100 with the first base station 200 means that the cleaning device 100 stays at a predetermined stay position of the first base station 200. At this time, the first electrical connection assembly 120 and the second electrical connection assembly 210 may be contact-coupled to each other to realize power transmission. For example, the conductors (e.g., electrode sheets) of the first electrical connection assembly 120 and the conductors (e.g., electrode sheets) of the second electrical connection assembly 210 may be contacted to transmit electrical energy. Alternatively, the first electrical connection assembly 120 and the second electrical connection assembly 210 may be contactlessly coupled to realize power transmission. For example, the distance between the wireless power transmission member (e.g., coil) of the first electrical connection assembly 120 and the wireless power transmission member (e.g., coil) of the second electrical connection assembly 210 is within a predetermined range that allows wireless power transmission. The wireless power transmission method, i.e., contactless power transmission, may be electromagnetic induction wireless power transmission, magnetic resonance wireless power transmission, electric field coupling wireless power transmission, microwave power transmission, etc.

[0048] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 6, the first base station 200 is configured to be fluidly connected to an external water source device 201 to pump liquid from the external water source device 201 into the cleaning system, and / or to be fluidly connected to an external waste discharge device 202 to pump waste in the cleaning system to the external waste discharge device 202.

[0049] 6, the power consumption assembly 220 of the first base station 200 includes a water path control member 221. For example, the water path control member 221 is for conveying liquid from the external water source device 201 to the cleaning system, and / or the water path control member 221 is for conveying waste in the cleaning system to the external waste discharge device 202. Optionally, the external water source device 201 includes, but is not limited to, a municipal water source other than the first base station 200 (e.g., a tap), and the external waste discharge device 202 includes, but is not limited to, an external sewer system other than the first base station 200.

[0050] Illustratively, the first base station 200 may be in fluid communication with the external water source device 201 and / or the external waste discharge device 202, where fluid communication means that liquid can flow between the first base station 200 and the external water source device 201 and / or the external waste discharge device 202. For example, the water path control member 221 may be for transporting liquid from the external water source device 201 to the cleaning apparatus 100 and / or the first base station 200, and / or the water path control member 221 may be for transporting waste in the cleaning apparatus 100 and / or the first base station 200 to the external waste discharge device 202.

[0051] 6, the first base station 200 includes a cleaning area 230. For example, the cleaning area 230 may be used to clean the cleaning members (e.g., wiping members or brushing members) of the cleaning device 100, and / or to clean the propulsion units (e.g., wheels) of the cleaning device 100, and / or for self-cleaning of the first base station 200, but is not limited thereto. For convenience of explanation, the embodiments of the present application will mainly describe the case where the cleaning area 230 is used to clean the wiping members of the cleaning device 100. For example, the cleaning area 230 of the first base station 200 includes a cleaning groove, and a cleaning rib is installed in the cleaning groove, which can squeegee clean the wiping members of the cleaning device 100.

[0052] For example, the water path control member 221 is for transporting liquid from the external water source device 201 to the cleaning area 230 of the first base station 200. Exemplarily, as shown in Fig. 6, the first base station 200 includes a liquid supply passage 231 that fluidly connects the external water source device 201 and the cleaning area 230, and the water path control member 221 includes a pump and / or a valve provided in the liquid supply passage 231, and the pump and / or valve is for controlling the liquid from the external water source device 201 to be sent to the cleaning area 230 of the first base station 200 via the liquid supply passage 231. Sending water to the cleaning area 230 may involve supplying water to the cleaning area 230 or spraying water directly onto the object to be cleaned in the cleaning area 230, and the embodiment of the present application is not limited thereto.

[0053] For example, the water channel control member 221 is for transporting waste in the cleaning area 230 to the external waste discharge device 202. The clean water delivered to the cleaning area 230 is used to clean a wiping member to obtain dirty water containing waste, and the water channel control member 221 may be controlled to transport the waste in the cleaning area 230 to the external waste discharge device 202. Exemplarily, as shown in FIG. 6 , the first base station 200 includes a drainage flow path 232 that fluidly connects the cleaning area 230 and the external waste discharge device 202, and the water channel control member 221 includes a pump and / or a valve provided in the drainage flow path 232, and the pump and / or valve are for controlling the transport of waste in the cleaning area 230 to the external waste discharge device 202 via the drainage flow path 232.

[0054] As shown in FIG. 6, by controlling valves and / or pumps, liquid can be controlled to flow between the first base station 200 and the external water source device 201 and / or the external waste discharge device 202.

[0055] Illustratively, in some embodiments, the cleaning device 100 includes a purified water chamber 130 for storing purified water and / or a collection chamber 140 for storing waste, as shown in FIG.

[0056] For example, the first base station 200 includes a liquid supply flow path 231 that fluidly connects the external water source device 201 and the water purification chamber 130, and the water path control member 221 includes a pump and / or a valve provided in the liquid supply flow path 231, which is for sending liquid from the external water source device 201 through the liquid supply flow path 231 to the water purification chamber 130 of the cleaning device 100.

[0057] For example, the first base station 200 includes a drainage flow path 232 that fluidly connects the collection chamber 140 and the external waste discharge device 202, and the water path control member 221 includes a pump and / or a valve provided in the drainage flow path 232, which is for transporting waste in the collection chamber 140 of the cleaning device 100 to the external waste discharge device 202 via the drainage flow path 232.

[0058] 6 and 7, the first base station 200 includes a washing area 230, and the cleaning device 100 includes a purified water chamber 130 for storing purified water. The first base station 200 includes a liquid supply passage 231 that fluidly connects the external water source device 201 and the washing area 230, and the liquid supply passage 231 is further for fluidly connecting the external water source device 201 and the purified water chamber 130, and the pump and / or valve is further for pumping liquid from the external water source device 201 through the liquid supply passage 231 to the purified water chamber 130 of the cleaning device 100.

[0059] 6 and 7, the first base station 200 includes a washing area 230, and the cleaning device 100 further includes a collection chamber 140 for storing waste. The first base station 200 includes a drainage channel 232 fluidly connecting the washing area 230 and an external waste discharge device 202, and the drainage channel 232 is further for fluidly connecting the collection chamber 140 and the external waste discharge device 202, and the pump and / or valve is further for pumping waste in the collection chamber 140 of the cleaning device 100 to the external waste discharge device 202 via the drainage channel 232.

[0060] As will be understood, the liquid supply flow path 231 and the liquid drainage flow path 232 include, but are not limited to, liquid passages, conduits, joints, cavities, etc. provided in the first base station 200. Optionally, the first base station 200 may be in fluid communication with the external water source device 201 and / or the external waste discharge device 202 via an external conduit, with the liquid supply flow path 231 and the liquid drainage flow path 232 respectively communicating with the external conduit and the cleaning area 230 / the water purification chamber 130 of the cleaning device 100 / the collection chamber 140 of the cleaning device 100, so that liquid can flow between the cleaning area 230 of the first base station 200 / the water purification chamber 130 of the cleaning device 100 / the collection chamber 140 of the cleaning device 100 and the external water source device 201 and / or the external waste discharge device 202. Of course, this is not limited to this, and a pipeline does not have to be installed between the first base station 200 and the external water source device 201 and / or the external waste discharge device 202. For example, the first base station 200 may be installed above the external waste discharge device 202 (e.g., a drain), and in this case, the waste from the first base station 200 may be discharged directly to the external waste discharge device 202 through the drainage path 232.

[0061] For example, the cleaning device 100 can wet clean the ground by delivering purified water stored in the purified water chamber 130 to the wiping members and / or the ground, and the cleaning device 100 can further collect dirty water generated during the cleaning process in the collection chamber 140. Optionally, the cleaning device 100 can also clean the wiping members by delivering purified water stored in the purified water chamber 130 to the wiping members, and the dirty water used to clean the wiping members can be delivered to the collection chamber 140.

[0062] When the first electrical connection assembly 120 is coupled to the second electrical connection assembly 210, the first energy storage unit 110 of the cleaning device 100 supplies power to the water path control member 221 of the first base station 200 via the first electrical connection assembly 120 and the second electrical connection assembly 210, so that the water path control member 221 transports liquid to the purified water chamber 130 of the cleaning device 100 and / or transports waste in the collection chamber 140 of the cleaning device 100 to the external waste discharge device 202. As a result, the electrical energy supplied by the cleaning device 100 to the first base station 200 enables the first base station 200 to supply purified water to the cleaning device 100 and / or discharge wastewater stored in the cleaning device 100.

[0063] As will be understood, in the embodiment of the present application, the electrical energy of the first base station 200 is provided by the cleaning device 100, and there is no need to connect to a socket to extract power, thereby providing more flexible installation locations. If fluid communication with an external water source device and / or an external waste discharge device is required, the first base station 200 may be installed nearby the external water source device and / or the external waste discharge device, for example, in an area where a municipal water source and / or drain is installed, such as a toilet, kitchen, or balcony. Furthermore, there is no need to install an AC / DC adapter, and there is no need to install a purified water chamber for temporarily storing purified water and / or a wastewater chamber for temporarily storing wastewater near the water source and / or drain. Therefore, the first base station can be made small and thin, and occupies less or even no additional space in the living environment (for example, the small and thin first base station can be installed directly in the space below a hand washing basin, utilizing the existing space in the living environment). Therefore, the installation location of the first base station is more flexible and it can be installed and used more easily.

[0064] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 8, the cleaning system further comprises a second base station 300, which is connectable to a mains power source, and which is for charging at least the cleaning device 100.

[0065] Specifically, the second base station 300 includes a third electrical connection assembly 310, and when the cleaning device 100 is docked with the second base station 300 such that the first electrical connection assembly 120 of the cleaning device 100 is coupled to the third electrical connection assembly 310 of the second base station 300, the second base station 300 supplies electrical energy from the utility power source to the first energy storage unit 110 of the cleaning device 100 via the third electrical connection assembly 310 and the first electrical connection assembly 120, and the first electrical connection assembly 120 of the cleaning device 100 supplies the electrical energy output by the second base station 300 via the third electrical connection assembly 310 to the first energy storage unit 110 of the cleaning device 100, thereby charging the cleaning device 100. It should be noted that the manner in which the cleaning device 100 docks with the second base station 300, such that the first electrical connection assembly 120 of the cleaning device 100 is coupled to the third electrical connection assembly 310 of the second base station 300, is similar to the manner in which the cleaning device 100 docks with the first base station 200, such that the first electrical connection assembly 120 is coupled to the second electrical connection assembly 210, and detailed description thereof will be omitted here.

[0066] Since the first base station circulates water for the cleaning device, the second base station may eliminate the water circulation assembly, thus simplifying the structure of the second base station, reducing its size and cost. For example, the second base station may be a simple charging pile, which is easy to install and use and can charge the cleaning device. The cleaning device can then supply its own stored electrical energy to the first base station for use. Therefore, the first base station does not need to find a power socket to draw power, making the installation location more flexible. If fluid communication with an external water source device and / or an external waste disposal device is required, the first base station 200 may be installed nearby the external water source device and / or the external waste disposal device, for example, in an area where a municipal water source and / or drain is installed, such as a toilet, kitchen, or balcony. Furthermore, there is no need to install an AC-DC (AC-DC) adapter, and there is no need to install a purified water chamber for temporarily storing purified water and / or a dirty water chamber for temporarily storing dirty water near the water source and / or drain, so the first base station can be made small and thin, and occupies less or even no additional space in the living environment (for example, the small and thin first base station can be directly installed in the space below the hand washing basin by utilizing the existing space in the living environment), so the placement location of the first base station becomes more flexible and it can be installed and used more easily, which makes the installation and use of the entire cleaning system easier.

[0067] In some embodiments, the cleaning system further includes a control device 400. Optionally, the device controller of the cleaning device 100, and / or the base station controller of the first base station 200, and / or the base station controller of the second base station 300 may independently or cooperatively function as the control device 400. For example, the control device 400 shown in FIG. 17 may be installed in the cleaning device 100, the first base station 200, or the second base station 300. Of course, this is not limiting. For example, the control device 400 may be a device other than the cleaning device 100, the first base station 200, and the second base station 300, such as a smart home terminal or an integrated control device.

[0068] The embodiment of the present application further provides a method for controlling a cleaning system, and the control device 400 may be for implementing the steps of the method for controlling a cleaning robot of the embodiment of the present application.

[0069] For example, when the cleaning device 100 docks with the first base station 200 such that the first electrical connection assembly 120 of the cleaning device 100 is coupled to the second electrical connection assembly 210 of the first base station 200, the control device 400 can control the first electrical connection assembly 120 and / or the second electrical connection assembly 210 such that the first energy storage unit 110 of the cleaning device 100 supplies power to the first base station 200 via the first electrical connection assembly 120 and the second electrical connection assembly 210.

[0070] Illustratively, the method may further include controlling the operation of the power consumption assembly 220 of the first base station 200. For example, controlling the water path control member 221 to transport liquid from the external water source device 201 to the cleaning system and / or transport waste in the cleaning system to the external waste discharge device 202.

[0071] In some embodiments, when the device status of the cleaning device 100 satisfies the water circulation conditions, the cleaning device 100 is controlled to move to the first base station 200 and dock with the first base station 200, and the first base station 200 is controlled to perform water circulation operations for the cleaning device 100, for example, the water path control member 221 may be controlled to transport liquid from the external water source device 201 to the cleaning system, and the first base station 200 may be controlled to transport waste in the cleaning system to the external waste discharge device 202.

[0072] The water cycle operation includes, but is not limited to, at least one of water addition, draining, and cleaning (including mopping and wheel washing).

[0073] For example, the device status of the cleaning device 100 satisfying the water circulation condition includes at least one of the following: the amount of water in the water purification chamber 130 of the cleaning device 100 is equal to or less than a first water volume threshold; the amount of water in the collection chamber 140 of the cleaning device 100 is equal to or greater than a second water volume threshold; the cumulative operation volume of the cleaning device 100 is equal to or greater than an operation volume threshold; and receiving a water circulation command triggered by a user's operation. For example, if there is relatively little purified water remaining in the water purification chamber 130 and / or a relatively large amount of waste is stored in the collection chamber 140, the base station may perform a water addition operation on the cleaning device 100 and / or transport the waste in the cleaning device 100 to the external waste discharge device 202. For example, if the cleaning device 100 has cumulatively cleaned a sufficient area / length of ground after adding water and / or if the cleaning device 100 has cumulatively washed a sufficient amount of waste while cleaning the surface to be cleaned, the base station may perform maintenance on the cleaning device 100, such as washing the wiping member or adding water. For example, the control device 400 may include a man-machine interaction device, such as a touch panel, which may detect user operation and obtain a water circulation command triggered by the user operation; or the control device 400 may communicate with a user's terminal device, such as a mobile phone, which may obtain a water circulation command triggered by the user operation; and upon receiving the water circulation command, the base station may perform a water circulation operation on the cleaning device 100.

[0074] For example, when the device status of the cleaning device 100 satisfies the water circulation condition and the power amount of the first energy storage unit 110 of the cleaning device 100 is equal to or greater than the first power amount threshold, the cleaning device 100 is controlled to move to the first base station 200 and dock with the first base station 200. The cleaning device 100 is controlled to move to the first base station 200 only when the power amount of the first energy storage unit 110 can supply the power required to maintain the cleaning device 100 by causing the power consumption assembly of the first base station to perform a charging operation, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the first base station.

[0075] Illustratively, when the first energy storage unit 110 controls the first electrical connection assembly 120 and / or the second electrical connection assembly 210 to supply power to the first base station 200 via the first electrical connection assembly 120 and the second electrical connection assembly 210, the second energy storage unit 240 receives and stores electrical energy from the second electrical connection assembly 210.

[0076] Optionally, when the second electrical connection assembly 210 is not coupled to the first electrical connection assembly 120, the power consumption assembly 220 may operate using electrical energy stored in the second energy storage unit 240, and may perform functions such as, but not limited to, self-checking, outputting status indication information, and communicating with the cleaning device 100, a terminal device, etc.

[0077] 9, the power consumption assembly 220 includes at least one of a detection member 222, a display assembly 223, and a communication assembly 224, and the detection member 222 includes at least one of a water supply detection member 222, a water level detection member 222, an overflow detection member 222, a dirt detection member 222, and a device docking detection member 222. For example, the water supply detection member 222 is for detecting whether the external water source device 201 is supplying water, the water level detection member 222 is for detecting the water level in the purified water chamber 130 and / or the collection chamber 140 of the cleaning device 100, the overflow detection member 222 is for detecting whether the first base station 200 and / or the purified water chamber 130 is overflowing, and the device docking detection member 222 is for detecting whether the first base station 200 is docked with the cleaning device 100, thereby realizing stationary detection.

[0078] Optionally, the method further includes obtaining detection information from the detection member 222 and controlling the power consumption assembly 220 to operate based on the detection information. For example, the detection information from the detection member 222 may be displayed by the display assembly 223, and when at least one of the following conditions is satisfied: the external water source device 201 is not supplying water; the water level in the purification chamber 130 is equal to or greater than a first predetermined water level; the water level in the collection chamber 140 is lower than a second predetermined water level; or the first base station 200 and / or the purification chamber 130 are flooded, the display assembly 223 may display presentation information and / or the communication assembly 224 may transmit the presentation information to a terminal device and / or the communication assembly 224 may transmit the presentation information to the cleaning apparatus 100. For example, when the device docking detection member 222 detects that the cleaning device 100 is docked with the first base station 200 so as to couple the first electrical connection assembly 120 to the second electrical connection assembly 210, the first energy storage unit 110 of the cleaning device 100 may control the first electrical connection assembly 120 and / or the second electrical connection assembly 210 to supply power to the power consumption assembly 220 of the first base station 200 via the first electrical connection assembly 120 and the second electrical connection assembly 210, and may control the power consumption assembly 220 of the first base station 200 to operate.

[0079] 10 , the first base station 200 further includes a power supply path selection circuit 250, which is connected to the second electrical connection assembly 210, the second energy storage unit 240, and the power consuming assembly 220. The power supply path selection circuit 250 is for transmitting electrical energy acquired by the second electrical connection assembly 210 to the power consuming assembly 220 and / or the second energy storage unit 240, and / or the power supply path selection circuit 250 is for transmitting electrical energy acquired by the second electrical connection assembly 210 and / or electrical energy stored in the second energy storage unit 240 to the power consuming assembly 220.

[0080] For example, the power supply path selection circuit 250 includes, but is not limited to, a switching element such as a MOS element (metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor, MOSFET, Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor), and realizes control of the power supply path by switching the switching state of the switching unit.

[0081] For example, the control device 400 and / or the power supply path selection circuit 250 may obtain the remaining charge of the second energy storage unit 240, and based on the remaining charge of the second energy storage unit 240, control the power supply path selection circuit 250 to transmit the electrical energy obtained by the second electrical connection assembly 210 to the second energy storage unit 240, and / or control the power supply path selection circuit 250 to transmit the electrical energy obtained by the second electrical connection assembly 210 and / or the electrical energy stored in the second energy storage unit 240 to the power consumption assembly 220. For example, when the remaining charge of the second energy storage unit 240 is equal to or greater than a first predetermined threshold, e.g., close to a fully charged state, the power supply path selection circuit 250 can be controlled to transmit the electrical energy acquired by the second electrical connection assembly 210 and the electrical energy stored in the second energy storage unit 240 to the power consumption assembly 220, thereby ensuring that the power consumption assembly 220 is supplied with sufficient power; when the remaining charge of the second energy storage unit 240 is equal to or less than a second predetermined threshold, e.g., relatively low, the power supply path selection circuit 250 can be controlled to transmit the electrical energy acquired by the second electrical connection assembly 210 to the second energy storage unit 240, thereby charging the second energy storage unit 240.

[0082] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 8 , if the device status of the cleaning device 100 satisfies the charging conditions, the cleaning device 100 may be controlled to move to the second base station 300 and dock with the second base station 300 so that the second base station 300 can charge the cleaning device 100, or the user may be prompted to move the cleaning device to the second base station and dock with the second base station. For example, the control device 400 may, based on at least the device status of the cleaning device 100, control the cleaning device 100 to move to the first base station 200, or prompt the user to move the cleaning device 100 to the first base station 200 to perform maintenance such as water circulation operation, or control the cleaning device 100 to move to the second base station 300, or prompt the user to move the cleaning device 100 to the second base station 300 to charge, and the electrical energy stored when the cleaning device 100 is charging at the second base station 300 may be supplied to the first base station 200 when docked with the first base station 200, so that the first base station 200 does not need to be powered independently, for example, it does not need to be connected to a commercial power source, thereby making the placement location of the first base station more flexible and easier to install and use. By the first base station performing water circulation for the cleaning device, the second base station may eliminate the water circulation assembly, thus simplifying the structure of the second base station, reducing the size and cost, for example, the second base station may be a simple charging pile, which is easy to install and use, and can charge the cleaning device, thereby making the installation and use of the entire cleaning system easier.

[0083] For example, if the power amount of the first energy storage unit 110 of the cleaning device 100 is less than or equal to the second power amount threshold, or the current cleaning task is completed (e.g., cleaning of a predetermined area, or one or more rooms is completed, or cleaning of all the ground in the entire cleaning task map is completed), or the cleaning assembly of the cleaning device 100 is completed and dried (e.g., after cleaning of all the ground in the entire cleaning task map is completed, the cleaning device 100 performs cleaning and drying at the first base station 200), it is determined that the device status of the cleaning device 100 satisfies the charging condition, and the cleaning device 100 is controlled to move to the second base station 300 and dock with the second base station 300.

[0084] For example, when the cleaning device 100 is docked with the second base station 300 such that the first electrical connection assembly 120 of the cleaning device 100 is coupled to the third electrical connection assembly 310 of the second base station 300, the second base station 300 controls the first electrical connection assembly 120 and / or the third electrical connection assembly 310 to supply electrical energy from the utility power source to the first energy storage unit 110 of the cleaning device 100 via the third electrical connection assembly 310 and the first electrical connection assembly 120. For example, the cleaning device 100 can communicate with the first base station 200 and the second base station 300. For example, when the cleaning device 100 is docked with a corresponding base station, electrical signal communication or wireless communication may be performed, or wireless communication may be performed whenever necessary. Thus, the control device 400 in the cleaning device 100 may realize control over the corresponding base station, for example, controlling the operation of a power consumption device in the first base station 200 or controlling the operation of a power supply circuit in the second base station 300.

[0085] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 11 and 12, the first electrical connection assembly 120 includes a first electrical connection member 121, a first power transmission circuit 122, and a second power transmission circuit 123, and the first electrical connection member 121 includes, for example, an electrically conductive electrical connection member, such as an electrode sheet, a conductive post, etc., and the first power transmission circuit 122 and the second power transmission circuit 123 are each connected to the first electrical connection member 121 and the first energy storage unit 110, and the first power transmission circuit 122 is for outputting electrical energy from the first energy storage unit 110 through the first electrical connection member 121 when turned on, and the second power transmission circuit 123 is for outputting electrical energy acquired by the first electrical connection member 121 to the first energy storage unit 110 when turned on.

[0086] For example, the second electrical connection assembly 210 includes a second electrical connection member 211, and the third electrical connection assembly 310 includes a third electrical connection member 311, and the second electrical connection member 211 and the third electrical connection member 311 include, for example, conductive electrical connection members, such as electrode sheets, conductive posts, etc.

[0087] For example, the first power transmission circuit 122 is for outputting electrical energy from the first energy storage unit 110 through the first electrical connection member 121 when the first electrical connection member 121 is coupled to the second electrical connection member 211, and the second power transmission circuit 123 is for outputting electrical energy acquired by the first electrical connection member 121 to the first energy storage unit 110 when the first electrical connection member 121 is coupled to the third electrical connection member 311. The present application does not limit the implementation manner of the first power transmission circuit 122 and the second power transmission circuit 123, as long as the cleaning device 100 can not only output electrical energy from the first energy storage unit 110 to the first base station 200 through the first electrical connection member 121, but also store electrical energy acquired from the second base station 300 in the first energy storage unit 110 through the first electrical connection member 121.

[0088] 11 , the first power transmission circuit 122 includes a backward power supply circuit, for example, the backward power supply circuit includes at least one of, but is not limited to, a switching circuit, a regulator circuit, and a motor drive circuit. The motor drive circuit is for driving, for example, a valve and / or a pump on the water path control member 221 in the first base station 200. The second power transmission circuit 123 includes a forward charging circuit, which functions to charge the first energy storage unit 110, for example, a battery.

[0089] The control device 400 is for controlling the first power transmission circuit 122 to be turned on and the second power transmission circuit 123 to be turned off when the first electrical connection member 121 is coupled to the second electrical connection member 211, so that the first power transmission circuit 122 outputs the electrical energy of the first energy storage unit 110 to the first base station 200 via the first electrical connection member 121, and for controlling the second power transmission circuit 123 to be turned on and the first power transmission circuit 122 to be turned off when the first electrical connection member 121 is coupled to the third electrical connection member 311, so that the second power transmission circuit 123 outputs the electrical energy obtained by the first electrical connection member 121 from the second base station 300 to the first energy storage unit 110.

[0090] For example, referring to FIG. 12, the second power transmission circuit 123 includes a switching circuit that, for example, when off, allows electrical energy to flow from the first energy storage unit 110 to the first electrical connection member 121 via the first power transmission circuit 122, but when on, allows electrical energy to flow from the first electrical connection member 121 to the first energy storage unit 110 via the switching circuit. For example, when the first electrical connection member 121 is coupled to the second electrical connection member 211, the control device 400 controls the switching circuit of the second power transmission circuit 123 to be turned off so that the first power transmission circuit 122 outputs the electrical energy of the first energy storage unit 110 to the first base station 200 via the first electrical connection member 121, and when the first electrical connection member 121 is coupled to the third electrical connection member 311, the control device 400 controls the switching circuit of the second power transmission circuit 123 to be turned on so that the second power transmission circuit 123 outputs the electrical energy obtained by the first electrical connection member 121 from the second base station 300 to the first energy storage unit 110.

[0091] In some other embodiments, the cleaning device 100 and the first base station 200 and / or the second base station 300 use a wireless power transmission method, i.e., contactless power transmission. Referring to Fig. 13, the first electrical connection assembly 120 includes a first wireless power supply module 124, which is connected to the first energy storage unit 110 of the cleaning device 100. The second electrical connection assembly 210 includes a second wireless power supply module 212, and the third electrical connection assembly 310 includes a third wireless power supply module 312. Illustratively, at least the first wireless power supply module 124 simultaneously has the functions of wirelessly transmitting and receiving power, the second wireless power supply module 212 has the function of wirelessly receiving power, and the third wireless power supply module 312 has the function of wirelessly transmitting power.

[0092] Illustratively, the first wireless power supply module 124 is configured to output electrical energy from the first energy storage unit 110 to the second wireless power supply module 212 when the first wireless power supply module 124 is electromagnetically coupled to the second wireless power supply module 212, so that the second wireless power supply module 212 supplies power to the power consumption assembly 220 of the first base station 200.
