[0033] The following describes in detail embodiments of the present application, and the embodiments described with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary.

[0034] The cleaning system 3 of the embodiment of the present application will be described below with reference to FIG1 .

[0035] As shown in FIG1 , the cleaning system 3 of the embodiment of the present application includes a cleaning device 31 and a base station 32 , wherein:

[0036] The cleaning device 31 includes a cleaning element 34 and a motor that drives the cleaning element 34. The base station 32 includes a drying module 33, which includes an air outlet module and a heating module. The air outlet module is used to discharge air toward the cleaning element 34. The heating module is connected to the air outlet module and is used to increase the temperature of the air discharged from the air outlet module. The air outlet module can be configured as a blower, and the heating module can be configured as a heating wire. The air blown by the blower is heated by the heating wire to form hot air, which dries the cleaning element 34.

[0037] Based on the structure of the above-mentioned cleaning system 3, the following describes a drying method for cleaning parts according to an embodiment of the first aspect of the present application in combination with Figures 1 to 3. The drying method for cleaning parts is used in the cleaning system 3.

[0038] As shown in FIG2 , the drying method for a cleaning element according to an embodiment of the present application includes at least step S1 and step S2 .

[0039] Step S1, determining whether the drying module is turned on.

[0040] In an embodiment, before the drying module is operated, it is determined that the drying module is turned on. For example, when the user sends a control instruction to the cleaning system by clicking a physical button or touching a key on the cleaning system, the cleaning system responds to the control instruction and controls the drying module to turn on. After the drying module is turned on, the drying module is controlled to dry the cleaning parts, and step S2 is executed during the operation of the drying module.

[0041] In step S2, the motor is provided with a voltage value lower than that during normal cleaning operation to drive the cleaning element to rotate at a low speed, the cleaning element is controlled to operate in a first mode or a second mode, and the air outlet of the drying module is controlled to discharge air to the cleaning element to dry the cleaning element, wherein the first mode is that the cleaning element rotates continuously, and the second mode is that the cleaning element rotates intermittently.

[0042] In an embodiment, during the operation of the drying module, the air outlet of the drying module is controlled to discharge air to the cleaning element, and the motor is provided with a voltage value lower than that during normal cleaning operation to drive the cleaning element to rotate at a low speed. For example, the cleaning element is controlled to operate at a preset voltage of 5V, which is lower than the operating voltage of 12V, to save energy consumption of the cleaning system, and the cleaning element is controlled to operate in a first manner, that is, the cleaning element rotates continuously to dry the cleaning element. By continuously rotating the cleaning element, the cleaning element rotates alternately in the forward direction and in the reverse direction, so that the cleaning element rubs and wipes the stains on the surface from two directions, and the cleaning ability of the stains on the cleaning element is significantly improved, thereby improving the drying efficiency of the cleaning element.

[0043] Alternatively, during the operation of the drying module, the air outlet of the drying module is controlled to discharge air to the cleaning element, and the motor is provided with a voltage value lower than that during normal cleaning operation to drive the cleaning element to rotate at a low speed. For example, the cleaning element is controlled to operate at a preset voltage of 5V, which is lower than the operating voltage of 12V, to save energy consumption of the cleaning system, and the cleaning element is controlled to operate in a second manner, that is, the cleaning element rotates intermittently. After the cleaning element periodically rotates an angle, it stops rotating. During the time period when the cleaning element stops rotating, the air outlet module continues to discharge air to the cleaning element and blows it to the same position of the cleaning element, so that a local position of the cleaning element is quickly dried. After that, the cleaning element continues to rotate, so that another local position of the cleaning element is quickly dried, thereby achieving targeted drying of the local area, ensuring that the entire circle of the cleaning element can be dried, and the cleaning element does not need to rotate continuously, thereby saving energy consumption.

[0044] By controlling the cleaning element to operate in the first mode or the second mode, different cleaning requirements of the user for the cleaning element are met, thereby improving the user experience.

[0045] According to the drying method of the cleaning element of the embodiment of the present application, after determining that the drying module is turned on, the air outlet of the drying module is controlled to discharge air to the cleaning element, and the motor is provided with a voltage value lower than that during normal cleaning operation to drive the cleaning element to rotate at a low speed, and the cleaning element is controlled to operate in a first mode, that is, the cleaning element rotates continuously, or in a second mode, that is, the cleaning element rotates intermittently. The first mode, that is, the cleaning element rotates continuously so that the cleaning element rotates alternately in the forward direction and in the reverse direction, thereby improving the cleaning ability of the stains on the cleaning element, thereby improving the drying efficiency of the cleaning element; the second mode, that is, the cleaning element rotates intermittently to carry out targeted drying of the local position of the cleaning element, ensuring that the entire circle of the cleaning element can be dried, and the cleaning element does not need to rotate continuously, saving energy consumption, and meeting the user's different cleaning requirements for the cleaning element, thereby improving the user experience.

[0046] In some embodiments, during the operation of the drying module, the rotation direction of the cleaning element is periodically switched, that is, the cleaning element is controlled to operate in a first manner, including controlling the cleaning element to operate in a second turning direction for a second running time after the cleaning element operates in a first turning direction for a first preset time, and the first turning direction is opposite to the second turning direction; after the cleaning element operates in the second turning direction for a second preset time, the cleaning element is controlled to switch to the first turning direction.

[0047] In an embodiment, during the operation of the drying module, the cleaning element is controlled to operate in a first turning direction, such as a forward direction, and the running time of the cleaning element in the first turning direction is detected until the running time reaches a first preset time, such as 5 minutes. If the cleaning element is still rotating in the forward direction, it may affect the drying effect of the cleaning element. Therefore, the turning direction of the cleaning element can be periodically switched. For example, the cleaning element is controlled to operate in a second turning direction, such as a reverse direction, and the running time of the cleaning element in the second turning direction is detected until the running time reaches a second preset time, such as 5 minutes. The cleaning element is again controlled to switch to the first turning direction, i.e., the forward direction. By repeating the above operation, the rotation direction of the cleaning element is periodically switched, so that the cleaning element is more fully in contact with the air outlet of the drying module, avoiding the occurrence of drying dead corners and improving the drying effect of the cleaning element.

[0048] In some embodiments, the total rotation time of the cleaning member is detected, and when the total rotation time of the cleaning member reaches a preset time, the power supply to the motor is stopped and the drying module is turned off.

[0049] In an embodiment, when the rotation direction of the cleaning element is switched periodically, the total rotation time of the cleaning element in different turning directions is detected and accumulated. After the total rotation time of the cleaning element reaches a preset time, for example, 80 minutes, it is considered that one drying is completed, power supply to the motor is stopped, and the drying module is turned off to reduce unnecessary energy loss of the cleaning equipment.

[0050] In some embodiments, during the operation of the drying module, the cleaning member rotates intermittently, that is, the cleaning member is controlled to operate in a second mode, including controlling the cleaning member to rotate once along the first turning direction at a predetermined interval, and each rotation is a preset rotation angle.

[0051] In an embodiment, during the operation of the drying module, the cleaning member is controlled to run in a first turning direction, for example, a forward direction, and rotate once at a predetermined interval, for example, 1 minute. After rotating by a preset rotation angle once, the cleaning member is controlled to be stationary. During the time period when the cleaning member stops rotating, the air outlet module continues to discharge air to the cleaning member and blows it toward the same position of the cleaning member, so that a local position of the cleaning member is quickly dried.

[0052] In some embodiments, after the cleaning element rotates a preset number of times along the first turning direction, the cleaning element is controlled to rotate along the second turning direction, and the second turning direction is opposite to the first turning direction; when the cleaning element rotates along the second turning direction, it rotates once at a predetermined interval, and rotates a preset rotation angle each time.

[0053] In an embodiment, when the cleaning member is controlled to run along a first turning direction, the number of times the cleaning member rotates along the first turning direction is detected and accumulated. After the cleaning member rotates along the first turning direction for a preset number of times, the cleaning member is controlled to run along a second turning direction, such as a reverse direction, and rotates once at a predetermined interval, such as 1 minute. After one rotation reaches a preset rotation angle, the cleaning member is controlled to be stationary. During the time period when the cleaning member stops rotating, the air outlet module continues to discharge air to the cleaning member and blows it toward the same position of the cleaning member, so that a local position of the cleaning member is quickly dried.

[0054] In some embodiments, after the cleaning member rotates along the second turning direction for a preset number of rotations, the cleaning member is controlled to switch to the first turning direction.

[0055] In an embodiment, when the cleaning member is controlled to run along the second turning direction, the number of times the cleaning member rotates along the second turning direction is detected and accumulated. After the cleaning member rotates along the second turning direction for a preset number of times, the cleaning member is controlled to switch to the first turning direction, i.e., run forward, and the cleaning member is controlled to stand still and rotate, i.e., rotate intermittently, in such a cycle, ensuring that the entire circle of the cleaning member can be dried while the cleaning member does not need to rotate most of the time, thereby saving energy consumption.

[0056] In some embodiments, the preset rotation angle of the cleaning member in the first turning direction or the second turning direction is less than or equal to 60°, for example 20°, so that the cleaning member can be dried evenly and quickly while rotating.

[0057] In some embodiments, after the cleaning member rotates in the first turning direction and the second turning direction for a preset N cycles, the rotation of the cleaning member is stopped and the drying module is turned off.

[0058] In an embodiment, when the cleaning member turns and rotates along the first turning direction and the second turning direction, the turning cycle of the cleaning member is detected and its cycle is accumulated. After the cleaning member turns along the first turning direction and the second turning direction for a preset N cycles, it is considered that the entire circle of the cleaning member has been dried, and the rotation of the cleaning member is stopped, and the drying module is turned off to reduce unnecessary energy loss of the cleaning equipment.

[0059] In some embodiments, before determining that the drying module is turned on, the method further includes controlling the drying function of the drying module to turn on in response to a drying instruction.

[0060] In an embodiment, the user sends a drying instruction to the cleaning system by clicking a physical button or touching a key on the cleaning system. After receiving the drying instruction, the cleaning system responds to the drying instruction and controls the drying function of the drying module to turn on.

[0061] It is understandable that the drying instruction can be an independent instruction. For example, after the user presses the physical button, the cleaning system automatically dries the cleaning parts. In addition, the drying instruction can also be integrated with other instructions. For example, after the user presses the physical button, the cleaning device enters the standard self-cleaning mode, washes, rinses and dehydrates the cleaning parts, and after the last dehydration, the drying function of the drying module is automatically controlled to turn on and dry the cleaning parts.

[0062] The drying method of the cleaning element according to the first embodiment of the present application will be described below with reference to FIG3 .

[0063] As shown in FIG3 , the drying method for a cleaning element according to an embodiment of the present application includes at least steps S11 to S23 .

[0064] Step S11 , in response to the drying instruction, controlling the drying function of the drying module to start.

[0065] Step S12: Determine whether the drying module is turned on.

[0066] Step S13: providing the motor with a voltage lower than that during normal cleaning operation to drive the cleaning element to rotate at a low speed.

[0067] Step S14: controlling the cleaning element to operate in a first mode.

[0068] Step S15, after the cleaning element runs in the first turning direction for a first preset time, the cleaning element is controlled to run in the second turning direction for a second preset time, and the first turning direction is opposite to the second turning direction; after the cleaning element runs in the second turning direction for the second preset time, the cleaning element is controlled to switch to the first turning direction.

[0069] Step S16, detecting the total rotation time of the cleaning member, stopping power supply to the motor after the rotation of the cleaning member reaches a preset time, and turning off the drying module.

[0070] Step S17: controlling the cleaning element to operate in the second mode.

[0071] Step S18, controlling the cleaning member to rotate once along the first turning direction at a predetermined interval, and rotating once by a preset angle.

[0072] Step S19, after the cleaning element rotates along the first turning direction for a preset number of rotations, the cleaning element is controlled to rotate along the second turning direction, which is opposite to the first turning direction; when the cleaning element rotates along the second turning direction, it rotates once at a preset interval, and rotates once by a preset rotation angle.

[0073] Step S20 , obtaining a second rest time, a third steering angle, and a third steering direction corresponding to the third steering angle of the cleaning member (eg, a roller brush) within the first interval running time.

[0074] Step S21 : After the cleaning member rotates a preset number of times along the second turning direction, the cleaning member is controlled to switch to the first turning direction.

[0075] Step S22: After the cleaning member rotates in the first turning direction and the second turning direction for a preset N cycles, the rotation of the cleaning member is stopped, and the drying module is turned off.

[0076] Step S23, controlling the air outlet of the drying module to discharge air toward the cleaning element.

[0077] According to the drying method of the cleaning element of the embodiment of the present application, after determining that the drying module is turned on, the air outlet of the drying module is controlled to discharge air to the cleaning element, and the motor is provided with a voltage value lower than that during normal cleaning operation to drive the cleaning element to rotate at a low speed, and the cleaning element is controlled to operate in a first mode, that is, the cleaning element rotates continuously, or in a second mode, that is, the cleaning element rotates intermittently. The first mode, that is, the cleaning element rotates continuously so that the cleaning element rotates alternately in the forward direction and in the reverse direction, thereby improving the cleaning ability of the stains on the cleaning element, thereby improving the drying efficiency of the cleaning element; the second mode, that is, the cleaning element rotates intermittently to carry out targeted drying of the local position of the cleaning element, ensuring that the entire circle of the cleaning element can be dried, and the cleaning element does not need to rotate continuously, saving energy consumption, and meeting the user's different cleaning requirements for the cleaning element, thereby improving the user experience.

[0078] The cleaning member drying device 2 according to an embodiment of the present application will be described below with reference to FIG. 4 .

[0079] As shown in Figure 4, the cleaning element drying device 2 of the present embodiment includes a determination module 21 and a control module 22. The determination module 21 is configured to determine whether the drying module is on before the drying module is operated. The control module 22 is configured to provide a motor with a voltage lower than that during normal cleaning operation to drive the cleaning element to rotate at a low speed, control the cleaning element to operate in a first mode or a second mode, and control the drying module's air outlet to discharge air toward the cleaning element to dry it. The first mode is for the cleaning element to rotate continuously, while the second mode is for the cleaning element to rotate intermittently.

[0080] In an embodiment, before the drying module is operated, it is determined that the drying module is turned on. For example, when the user sends a control instruction to the cleaning system by clicking a physical button or touching a key on the cleaning system, the cleaning system responds to the control instruction and controls the drying module to turn on. After the drying module is turned on, the drying module is controlled to dry the cleaning parts.

[0081] During the operation of the drying module, the control module 22 controls the air outlet of the drying module to discharge air to the cleaning element, provides the motor with a voltage value lower than that during normal cleaning operation to drive the cleaning element to rotate at a low speed, for example, controls the cleaning element to operate at a preset voltage of 5V which is lower than the working voltage of 12V to save energy consumption of the cleaning system, controls the cleaning element to rotate continuously in the first mode to dry the cleaning element, and continuously rotates the cleaning element so that the cleaning element rotates alternately in the forward direction and the reverse direction, so that the cleaning element rubs and wipes the stains on the surface from two directions, and the cleaning ability of the stains on the cleaning element is significantly improved, thereby improving the drying efficiency of the cleaning element.

[0082] Alternatively, during the operation of the drying module, the air outlet of the drying module is controlled to discharge air to the cleaning element, and the motor is provided with a voltage value lower than that during normal cleaning operation to drive the cleaning element to rotate at a low speed. For example, the cleaning element is controlled to operate at a preset voltage of 5V, which is lower than the operating voltage of 12V, to save energy consumption of the cleaning system, and the cleaning element is controlled to operate in a second manner, that is, the cleaning element rotates intermittently. After the cleaning element periodically rotates an angle, it stops rotating. During the time period when the cleaning element stops rotating, the air outlet module continues to discharge air to the cleaning element and blows it to the same position of the cleaning element, so that a local position of the cleaning element is quickly dried. After that, the cleaning element continues to rotate, so that another local position of the cleaning element is quickly dried, thereby achieving targeted drying of the local area, ensuring that the entire circle of the cleaning element can be dried, and the cleaning element does not need to rotate continuously, thereby saving energy consumption.

[0083] By controlling the cleaning element to operate in the first mode or the second mode, different cleaning requirements of the user for the cleaning element are met, thereby improving the user experience.

[0084] According to the cleaning component drying device 2 of the embodiment of the present application, after determining that the drying module is turned on, the air outlet of the drying module is controlled to discharge air to the cleaning component, and the motor is provided with a voltage value lower than that during normal cleaning operation to drive the cleaning component to rotate at a low speed, and the cleaning component is controlled to operate in a first mode, that is, the cleaning component rotates continuously, or in a second mode, that is, the cleaning component rotates intermittently. The first mode, that is, the cleaning component rotates continuously so that the cleaning component rotates alternately in the forward direction and in the reverse direction, thereby improving the cleaning ability of the stains on the cleaning component and thus improving the drying efficiency of the cleaning component; the second mode, that is, the cleaning component rotates intermittently to carry out targeted drying of the local position of the cleaning component, ensuring that the entire circle of the cleaning component can be dried, and the cleaning component does not need to rotate continuously, saving energy consumption, and meeting the user's different cleaning requirements for the cleaning component, thereby improving the user experience.

[0085] The cleaning system 3 of the second embodiment of the present application will be described below with reference to FIG5 .

[0086] As shown in FIG5 , the cleaning system 3 of the embodiment of the present application includes a cleaning device 31 and a base station 32 , wherein:

[0087] The cleaning device 31 includes a cleaning member 34 , and the base station 32 includes the cleaning member drying device 2 and a base 35 as described in the above embodiment.

[0088] When the user has finished using the cleaning device 31 to dry the cleaning parts, the user can dock the cleaning device 31 on the base 35 of the base station 32. The cleaning device 31 communicates with the base station 32 to implement the drying method of the cleaning parts in the above embodiment, which is convenient for the cleaning device 31 to perform self-cleaning, charging, adding water, pumping out sewage and drying operations, so that the cleaning system 3 can automatically load and unload water, and the user can do maintenance-free.

[0089] According to the cleaning system 3 of the embodiment of the present application, after determining that the drying module is turned on, the air outlet of the drying module is controlled to discharge air to the cleaning element, and the motor is provided with a voltage value lower than that during normal cleaning operation to drive the cleaning element to rotate at a low speed, and the cleaning element is controlled to operate in a first mode, that is, the cleaning element rotates continuously, or in a second mode, that is, the cleaning element rotates intermittently. The first mode, that is, the cleaning element rotates continuously so that the cleaning element rotates alternately in the forward direction and in the reverse direction, thereby improving the cleaning ability of the stains on the cleaning element, thereby improving the drying efficiency of the cleaning element; the second mode, that is, the cleaning element rotates intermittently to carry out targeted drying of the local position of the cleaning element, ensuring that the entire circle of the cleaning element can be dried, and the cleaning element does not need to rotate continuously, saving energy consumption, and meeting the user's different cleaning requirements for the cleaning element, thereby improving the user experience.

[0090] Example 1:

[0091] The roller brush runs at a low speed of 5V, which is lower than the operating voltage (12V), for 80 minutes. The direction of rotation of the roller brush can be changed periodically, for example, every 5 minutes. However, the roller brush rotates almost continuously during the 80 minutes.

[0092] Example 2:

[0093] The roller brush runs at a low speed of 5V, which is lower than the operating voltage (12V). The specific frequency is as follows: when the roller brush drying program is started, the roller brush first stands still for 1 minute, and then the roller brush rotates forward for 200ms (the roller brush rotates about 20° in 200ms). The roller brush then stands still for another minute, and then the roller brush rotates forward for 200ms again. After the above forward rotation is completed 20 times (the number of times must ensure that the roller brush rotates 360°), the roller brush reverses according to the above cycle. That is, after standing still for 1 minute, the roller brush rotates in the opposite direction for 200ms. The roller brush then stands still for another minute, and then the roller brush rotates in the opposite direction for 200ms. After the above reverse rotation is completed 20 times, the roller brush rotates forward again according to the above cycle.

[0094] This ensures that the roller brush is not rotating most of the time when drying, and the roller brush is dried in a targeted manner, which is more efficient. The roller brush will also rotate a small angle periodically to ensure that the entire circle of the roller brush is dried.

[0095] The following describes a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to an embodiment of the present application.

[0096] The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of the embodiment of the present application stores a cleaning component drying program, and when the cleaning component drying program is executed by the processor, the cleaning component drying method of the above embodiment is implemented.
