[0020] In order to clarify the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present disclosure, the present disclosure will be described in more detail below in conjunction with the drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present disclosure, and are not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments that a person skilled in the art can obtain based on the embodiments of the present disclosure without any creative work are also within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0021] The terms used in the embodiments of the present disclosure are merely for the purpose of describing particular embodiments and are not intended to limit the present disclosure.

[0022] As will be understood, the term "and / or" used herein merely describes the relation between related objects, and indicates that three types of relation may exist, for example, A and / or B can indicate three situations: A exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone. Also, the character " / " in this specification generally indicates that the related objects before and after it are in an "or" relation.

[0023] As should be further explained, the terms "comprises," "including," or any other variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions, whereby a product or device comprising a set of elements not only includes those elements, but also includes other elements not expressly listed or inherent in such product or device. In the absence of further limitations, elements qualified by the phrase "comprises a..." do not exclude the presence of other similar elements in the product or device comprising said elements.

[0024] Selected embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

[0025] Specifically, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a control method for a self-cleaning maintenance station. As an example, FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of a self-cleaning maintenance station implementing the method. The structure of the self-cleaning maintenance station is provided only to facilitate understanding of the control method for the self-cleaning maintenance station, and does not substantially limit the control method. That is, the control method can be applied to any other self-cleaning maintenance station with a corresponding structure.

[0026] To more clearly explain the operation of the self-cleaning maintenance station, the following directional definitions are provided: the self-cleaning maintenance station can be oriented by defining three mutually perpendicular axes: a lateral axis Y, a front-to-rear axis X, and a central vertical axis Z. The direction opposite the arrow along the front-to-rear axis X, i.e., the direction in which the automatic cleaning device enters the self-cleaning maintenance station, is labeled as the "rear direction," and the direction opposite the arrow along the front-to-rear axis X, i.e., the direction in which the automatic cleaning device leaves the self-cleaning maintenance station, is labeled as the "front direction." The lateral axis Y is a direction substantially along the width of the body of the self-cleaning maintenance station; the direction of the arrow along the lateral axis Y is the "left side" of the self-cleaning maintenance station, and the direction opposite the arrow along the lateral axis Y is the "right side" of the self-cleaning maintenance station. The vertical axis Z is a direction extending upward along the bottom surface of the self-cleaning maintenance station; the direction of the arrow along the vertical axis Z is the "upper side" of the self-cleaning maintenance station, and the direction opposite the arrow along the vertical axis Z is the "lower side" of the self-cleaning maintenance station.

[0027] 1, the self-cleaning maintenance station provided in this embodiment includes a self-cleaning maintenance station base plate 1000 and a self-cleaning maintenance station body 2000, of which the self-cleaning maintenance station base plate 1000 and the self-cleaning maintenance station body 2000 are detachably or non-detachably connected. The detachable connection makes it easy to transport and maintain the self-cleaning maintenance station base plate 1000 and the self-cleaning maintenance station body 2000.

[0028] The self-cleaning maintenance station main body 2000 includes a water storage chamber 2700 and a dust collection chamber 2800. The water storage chamber 2700 is installed at the top of the self-cleaning maintenance station main body 2000 with its opening facing upward. The interior of the water storage chamber 2700 is used to accommodate the fresh water tank 4000 and the dirty water tank 5000. The dust collection chamber 2800 is installed next to the water storage chamber 2700 at the top of the self-cleaning maintenance station main body 2000 with its opening facing upward. The interior of the dust collection chamber 2800 is used to accommodate the dust collection cover 6000. The fresh water tank 4000, the dirty water tank 5000 and the dust collection cover 6000 are assembled to the self-cleaning maintenance station main body 2000. For example, the fresh water tank 4000, the dirty water tank 5000 and the dust collection cover 6000 are installed integrally with the self-cleaning maintenance station main body 2000, which has a neat appearance and is easy to transport.

[0029] A forward-opening cleaning chamber 2100 is formed between the bottom of the self-cleaning maintenance station main body 2000 and the self-cleaning maintenance station bottom plate 1000. The cleaning chamber 2100 is used to accommodate the automatic cleaning device when it is returned to the self-cleaning maintenance station for maintenance operations. A cleaning tank 2200 is provided at the bottom of the self-cleaning maintenance station main body. After the automatic cleaning device is fitted into the cleaning chamber 2100, the cleaning tank 2200 is configured to clean a cleaning member such as a mop on the automatic cleaning device.

[0030] As shown in Figure 2, the self-cleaning maintenance station's water supply and sewage process is as follows: the self-cleaning maintenance station controls an external water source 3000 using an automatic water supply system, for example, by connecting it to tap water and adding fresh water to a fresh water tank 4000; a full-water sensor is installed in the fresh water tank 4000, which stops the supply of water to the fresh water tank 4000 when the tank is full; and when the water level in the tank 4000 drops to a preset level, water is automatically supplied to the tank 4000. The fresh water pump 4100 supplies water from the fresh water tank 4000 to a washing tank 2200; the automatic cleaning device washes the mop in the washing tank 2200; then, the dirty water pump 2210 sucks the dirty water from the washing tank 2200 into a dirty water tank 5000. A wastewater sensor is installed in wastewater tank 5000, and when wastewater tank 5000 is full, wastewater pump 2210 stops suctioning wastewater, and the wastewater in wastewater tank 5000 is discharged from the wastewater tank by drainage pump 5100.

[0031] As described above, during the normal operation of the self-cleaning maintenance station, at least some of the water channels (e.g., the fresh water tank 4000, the waste water tank 5000, the cleaning tank 2200 or the pipelines) of the self-cleaning maintenance station will have residual water, and when the user needs to pack or transport the kit, the residual water inside must be drained to avoid damage to the product due to water leakage during transportation.

[0032] Based on this, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a control method for a self-cleaning maintenance station, the method including: obtaining a drain command of the self-cleaning maintenance station triggered by a user; stopping the injection of fresh water into the fresh water tank; and executing a drain operation command within a first preset time range, the drain operation command including pumping fresh water from the fresh water tank to the cleaning tank by a fresh water pump; sucking dirty water from the cleaning tank into the dirty water tank by a dirty water pump; and draining the dirty water from the dirty water tank by a drain pump.

[0033] A control method for a self-cleaning maintenance station provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure allows a user to simply issue a drain command to the self-cleaning maintenance station, for example, via a mobile phone APP or touch button, so that the self-cleaning maintenance station can complete the drain operation command and the drain operation command within a preset time range. In addition, during the process of executing the drain operation command and the drain operation command, it can automatically complete detection and fault detection functions according to different emergency situations, so that the self-cleaning maintenance station can automatically drain residual water, meet the needs of packaging and transportation, and improve the user experience.

[0034] Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3 , an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a control method for a self-cleaning maintenance station including a fresh water tank, a dirty water tank, and a washing tank, the method comprising: Step S301: receiving a drain command of the self-cleaning maintenance station triggered by a user and stopping the injection of fresh water into the fresh water tank; Within a first preset time range, a drain operation command is executed, and the drain operation command includes step S302, which includes pumping fresh water from the fresh water tank to the cleaning tank using a fresh water pump, sucking dirty water from the cleaning tank to the dirty water tank using a dirty water pump, and discharging the dirty water from the dirty water tank using a drain pump.

[0035] In step S301, the user can send a drain command for the self-cleaning maintenance station using the mobile phone APP. For example, the mobile phone APP is provided with a "one-touch drain" button. After the user clicks the "one-touch drain" button, the self-cleaning maintenance station drain command is sent to the self-cleaning maintenance station via mobile phone wireless communication. After the self-cleaning maintenance station receives the drain command, the self-cleaning maintenance station begins to perform the residual water drain operation. The user can also send a drain command using the drain button on the self-cleaning maintenance station. After the self-cleaning maintenance station receives the drain command, the self-cleaning maintenance station begins to perform the residual water drain operation. The first residual water drain operation that the self-cleaning maintenance station should perform is to stop filling the fresh water tank with fresh water and disconnect the water source, which makes it easier to perform subsequent residual water drain operations.

[0036] In step S302, the self-cleaning maintenance station executes a drain command within a first preset time range. The first preset time is a time obtained through repeated experiments. For example, a reasonable first preset time is established after multiple experiments, determining how long it takes to drain the fresh water tank, waste water tank, and washing tank when they are all full. The first preset time may be the average, maximum, or normally distributed value of the multiple experiments, or may be a value obtained by multiplying the average, maximum, or normally distributed value by a coefficient. The coefficient may be 1.2 to 1.5 to ensure sufficient drainage within the first preset time range. The drain command includes pumping fresh water from the fresh water tank to the washing tank using a fresh water pump, sucking waste water from the washing tank into the waste water tank using a waste water pump, and discharging the waste water from the waste water tank using a drain pump. That is, when a drain operation command is executed, the fresh water pump, the waste water pump, and the drain pump all operate normally, and residual water is discharged from the self-cleaning maintenance station in the direction of the arrows in FIG.

[0037] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 4, in order to prevent unexpected breakdowns during the draining process and improve the accuracy and efficiency of draining residual water, the method further comprises: Step S303: when a command to fill the dirty water tank is triggered within the first preset time range, the fresh water pump stops pumping water from the clean water tank and the dirty water pump stops suctioning dirty water from the washing tank; and step S304 of continuing to drain the wastewater tank with the drain pump within a second preset time range.

[0038] In step S303, when the self-cleaning maintenance station executes the drain operation command within the first preset time range, if a command to fill the wastewater tank is triggered, for example, when a Hall element detects that the water level in the wastewater tank has reached its maximum limit, the control system stops the freshwater pump from pumping water from the freshwater tank to the washing tank. After the wastewater tank in the waterway is full, it cannot store more wastewater, so at this time, the wastewater pump must stop suctioning wastewater from the washing tank, otherwise the wastewater will overflow. At the same time, the inflow of freshwater into the washing tank must also be stopped, otherwise the water in the washing tank will also overflow.

[0039] In step S304, after step S303 is performed, the drain pump continues to drain the wastewater tank within a second preset time range. The second preset time is also obtained through multiple experiments, such as the time required to drain a full wastewater tank. A reasonable second preset time is established after multiple experiments. The second preset time may be the average, maximum, or normally distributed value of the multiple experiments, or may be multiplied by a coefficient based on the average, maximum, or normally distributed value. The coefficient may be 0.5 to 1.2 to ensure that the wastewater tank has enough space to accommodate the wastewater again after the second preset time is performed. It can be understood that the wastewater tank may be empty or some wastewater may remain after the second preset time is performed.

[0040] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 5 , in order to prevent unexpected breakdowns during the draining process and improve the accuracy and efficiency of draining residual water, the drain pump continues to drain water from the wastewater tank within the second preset time range, and then: Step S304-1 continues to execute the drain operation command if the wastewater tank fill command is not triggered; If the waste tank fill command is still triggered, a waste tank error command is displayed in step S304-2.

[0041] In step S304-1, after a second preset time has elapsed and the drain pump has discharged at least a portion of the wastewater from the wastewater tank, if a wastewater tank fill command is not triggered, indicating that there is already enough space in the wastewater tank to accommodate the newly pumped wastewater, the drain operation command can continue to be executed and the entire draining process can continue to be repeated.

[0042] In step S304-2, if the wastewater tank full command is still triggered after the drain pump has discharged at least a portion of the wastewater from the wastewater tank for a second preset time, it indicates that a failure may have occurred in the wastewater tank full sensor, and the self-cleaning maintenance station should display a wastewater tank error command for user inspection.

[0043] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 6, in order to prevent unexpected breakdowns during the draining process and improve the accuracy and efficiency of draining residual water, the method further comprises: Step S305: when a command to fill the washing tub is triggered within the first preset time range, stopping the fresh water pump from pumping water from the fresh water tank; and step S306, continuing to suck dirty water from the washing tank by the dirty water pump and continuing to drain dirty water from the dirty water tank by the drain pump for a third preset time.

[0044] In step S305, during the process of the self-cleaning maintenance station executing the drain operation command within the first preset time range as described above, when the command to fill the washing tank is triggered, for example, by a Hall element, a photoelectric sensor, etc., when it detects that the water level in the washing tank has reached the maximum limit, the control system will stop the fresh water pump from pumping water from the fresh water tank to the washing tank. After the washing tank in the water channel is full, more dirty water cannot be stored, so at this time, the inflow of fresh water into the washing tank must be stopped, otherwise the water in the washing tank will overflow.

[0045] In step S306, after step S305, the wastewater pump continues to suction wastewater from the washing tub for a third preset time. The third preset time is also based on data obtained in advance through multiple experiments, such as the time required to drain a full washing tub. A reasonable third preset time is established after multiple experiments. The third preset time may be the average, maximum, or normally distributed value of the multiple experiments, or may be multiplied by a coefficient based on the average, maximum, or normally distributed value. The coefficient may be 0.5 to 1.2 to ensure that the washing tub has enough space to refill with fresh water after the third preset time. It should be understood that the washing tub may be empty after the third preset time has elapsed, or some fresh water or dirty water may remain.

[0046] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 7 , in order to prevent unexpected breakdowns during the draining process and improve the accuracy and efficiency of draining residual water, the wastewater pump continues to suck wastewater from the washing tank and the drain pump continues to drain wastewater from the wastewater tank during the third preset time. Then, Step S306-1 continues to execute the drain operation command if the cleaning tank fill command is not triggered; If the basin fill command is still triggered, step S306-2 displays a basin error command.

[0047] In step S306-1, after a third preset time has elapsed and the dirty water pump has sucked at least a portion of the fresh water or dirty water from the washing tank, if the washing tank fill command is not triggered, it indicates that there is already enough space in the washing tank to accommodate new fresh water, and the drain operation command can continue to be executed, and the entire draining process can continue to be repeated.

[0048] In step S306-2, if the washing tank full command is still triggered after the third preset time has elapsed and the dirty water pump has sucked at least a portion of the clean water or dirty water from the washing tank, it indicates that a failure may have occurred in the washing tank full sensor, and the self-cleaning maintenance station should display a washing tank error command for user inspection.

[0049] In some embodiments, in order to prevent unexpected malfunctions during the draining process and improve the accuracy and draining efficiency of residual water drainage, the method further includes a step of displaying an error command for the fresh water tank when a fill command for the fresh water tank is triggered after the first preset time.

[0050] At this time, after executing the drain operation command for a certain period of time, a fresh water tank fill command is triggered. One possibility is that the fresh water tank fill element, such as a Hall element, is faulty. Another possibility is that in step S301, the injection of fresh water into the fresh water tank is not stopped and the water supply valve is faulty. In this case, the self-cleaning maintenance station should display an error command for the fresh water tank for user inspection.

[0051] In some embodiments, in order to prevent unexpected failures during the drainage process and improve the accuracy and drainage efficiency of residual water discharge, the method further includes a step of executing a drainage operation command within the first preset time range, and then executing a drainage operation command within a fourth predetermined time range, wherein the drainage operation command includes stopping the fresh water pump from pumping fresh water, stopping the sewage pump from suctioning sewage, and allowing the drainage pump to continue discharging the sewage from the sewage tank.

[0052] The drain operation command always executed within the first preset time in step S302 may not necessarily be able to completely drain the water in the waterway. In this case, additional time, such as a fourth preset time, should be given, and the drain operation command should be executed within the fourth preset time range. The drain operation command includes: stopping the fresh water pump from pumping fresh water, indicating that the fresh water tank should already be empty, stopping the waste water pump from suctioning waste water, indicating that the washing tank should already be empty, but there may still be waste water remaining in the pipeline from the washing tank to the waste water tank or the drain pipeline of the waste water tank, so the purpose of complete drainage is achieved by having the drain pump continue to drain the remaining waste water from the waste water tank.

[0053] A control method for a self-cleaning maintenance station provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure allows a user to simply issue a drain command to the self-cleaning maintenance station, for example, via a mobile phone APP or touch button, and the self-cleaning maintenance station can complete the drain operation command and the drain operation command within a preset time range. In the process of executing the drain operation command and the drain operation command, it can automatically complete detection and fault detection functions according to each emergency situation, so that the self-cleaning maintenance station automatically drains residual water, meeting the needs of packaging and transportation. The entire process is simple to operate and improves the user experience.
