[0001] Related applications
[0002] This application claims priority to Chinese patent application number 202410158843.8, filed on February 4, 2024, entitled “Cleaning equipment and its control method, control device, and computer-readable storage medium,” the entire text of which is hereby incorporated by reference. Technical Field
[0003] The present application relates to the technical field of cleaning equipment, and in particular to cleaning equipment and a control method, a control device, and a computer-readable storage medium thereof. Background Art
[0004] The typical floor cleaning procedure is: first, use a broom to remove dust, debris, or solid, removable dry debris; then, use a mop to wipe away dirt or water stains. As people's living standards and demands for a better living environment continue to improve, household cleaning tools are constantly being upgraded. Traditional cleaning tools like brooms and mops are no longer able to meet the demand for efficient cleaning, leading to the emergence of dry vacuum cleaners and floor scrubbers.
[0005] In the related technology, a composite floor scrubber with a vacuum cleaner function has appeared. The dirty objects cleaned by the composite floor scrubber include both dry garbage in a gas-solid state under the dry vacuuming function, and wet garbage in a gas-solid-liquid state under the floor scrubbing function. Under the two different dirty states, the separation media are different, and two separate separators need to be set up, which has a complex structure and higher cost.
[0006] Summary of the Invention

[0041] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present application more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of this application.
[0042] The dry vacuuming function cleans dry garbage, which mainly consists of floating dust, sand, fiber, food crumbs, etc. In this function mode, the dirt separation mode is gas-solid separation, and cyclone separators are generally used. The floor washing function cleans wet garbage, which mainly consists of dirty footprints, food soup, juice, kitchen waste, etc. In this function mode, the dirt separation mode is gas-solid-liquid separation, and baffle separators are mainly used. The dirt objects cleaned by the composite floor washing machine in the related art include both dry garbage in a gas-solid state under the dry vacuuming function and wet garbage in a gas-solid-liquid state under the floor washing function. The separation media are different under the two different dirt states, and two separate separators need to be set up, which has a complex structure and higher cost.
[0043] Because the state of dirt sucked into the machine differs between dry vacuuming and scrubbing modes, scrubbing mode generally uses a baffle separator, focusing on gas-liquid separation, while dry vacuuming mode generally uses a cyclone separator, focusing on gas-solid separation. For example, depending on the cleaning scenario, the machine needs to be assembled with a scrubber module or a dry vacuum module, and the corresponding modules are equipped with different types of separators, resulting in inconvenience, a poor user experience, complex structure, and higher costs.
[0044] An embodiment of the cleaning device of the present application is described below with reference to FIG1 and FIG2 .
[0045] According to one aspect of an embodiment of the present application, a cleaning device is provided. As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 , the cleaning device includes a floor brush assembly 1 , water tank assemblies 2 and 6 , and a power module 8 .
[0046] The floor brush assembly 1 includes a roller brush 101 and a dirt suction port 102. The water tank assembly is connected to the dirt suction port 102 via a dirt suction pipe 7. The dirt suction pipe 7 is provided with a first water spray port 4, which is connected to the water tank assembly and is used to spray water into the dirt suction pipe 7. A power module 8 is used to generate power to force dirt through the dirt suction pipe 7 and into the water tank assembly.
[0047] In this embodiment, when the cleaning device is working, the roller brush 101 can clean the floor. If the user wants to clean the dust and other dry garbage on the floor, the cleaning device enters the vacuum mode, and the water in the water tank assembly is sprayed to the dirt suction pipe 7 through the first water nozzle 4. The roller brush 101 can roll up the dust and other dry garbage on the floor, and the dry garbage is sucked into the dirt suction pipe 7 in the form of a gas-solid mixture. The dirt in the form of a gas-solid mixture is mixed with the water sprayed from the first water nozzle 4 in the dirt suction pipe 7 to form a gas-solid-liquid mixture. The dirt enters the water tank assembly through the dirt suction pipe 7 in the form of a solid-liquid mixture. The water tank assembly includes a separator. After the gas-solid-liquid mixture encounters the separator, under the action of the power module, the clean air is discharged to the outside, and the sewage containing the dirty garbage is intercepted by the separator in the water tank assembly.
[0048] Therefore, the cleaning equipment converts the dry garbage in the vacuuming mode, which is mainly in the gas-solid state, into wet garbage in the gas-solid-liquid state. At this time, the separation media in the vacuuming mode and the floor washing mode are both in the gas-solid-liquid state. The separation media are consistent and can share a separator, that is, a separator used to separate gas-solid-liquid state dirt in the floor washing mode. The effect of separating dirt in different functional modes can be achieved through one type of separator, with a simple structure and low cost.
[0049] It should be noted that after the gas-solid-liquid mixture encounters the separator, the sewage carrying small particles flows directly into the water tank, and the large particles will be filtered and separated by the screen.
[0050] Specifically in one embodiment, the power module 8 includes a fan, which generates suction when it works, so that dirt can enter the water tank assembly through the dirt suction pipe 7.
[0051] Specifically in one embodiment, the power module 8 also includes a battery, which powers electrical components such as the fan, the motor for rotating the roller brush 101, and the fluid control module 3, so that the user does not need an external power supply when using the cleaning device, avoiding a smaller cleaning area due to a short power cord.
[0052] In one embodiment, the floor brush assembly 1 is provided with a second water spray port 5 , which is connected to the water tank assembly and is used to spray water to the roller brush 101 .
[0053] In this embodiment, if the user wants to clean dirt or wet garbage on the floor, the cleaning device enters floor scrubbing mode. Water in the water tank assembly is sprayed out through the second water spray port 5, wetting the roller brush 101. The wet roller brush 101 scrubs the floor. The power module 8 generates power and draws the dirt into the dirt suction pipe 7 in the form of a gas-solid-liquid mixture. The dirt enters the water tank assembly through the dirt suction pipe 7. The water tank assembly includes a separator. After the gas-solid-liquid mixture encounters the separator, the power module acts to discharge clean air to the outside, while the dirty water containing the dirt and garbage is intercepted by the separator and retained in the water tank assembly.
[0054] This cleaning device can be used to clean dry garbage such as dust on the floor, as well as dirt or wet garbage on the floor, achieving multiple uses of one machine. Compared with related technologies, it does not require users to repeatedly disassemble and assemble the cleaning device, making it more convenient for users to use and improving the user experience.
[0055] In one embodiment, the cleaning device includes a fluid control module 3 , which has a first state in which the fluid control module 3 is communicated with the first water spray port 4 and a second state in which the fluid control module 3 is communicated with the second water spray port 5 .
[0056] In this embodiment, if the user wants to clean dry debris such as dust on the floor, the cleaning device enters the vacuuming mode, the fluid control module 3 switches to the first state, and the water in the water tank assembly is sprayed to the dirt suction pipe 7 through the first water spray port 4. The roller brush 101 can roll up the dry debris such as dust and debris on the ground, and the dry garbage is sucked into the dirt suction pipe 7 in the form of a gas-solid mixture. The dirt in the form of a gas-solid mixture mixes with the water sprayed from the first water spray port 4 in the dirt suction pipe 7 to form a gas-solid-liquid mixture. The dirt enters the water tank assembly through the dirt suction pipe 7 in the form of a gas-solid-liquid mixture. After the gas-solid-liquid mixture encounters the separator, under the action of the power module 8, the clean air is discharged to the outside, and the sewage containing the dirty garbage is intercepted by the separator in the water tank assembly. If the user wishes to clean dirt or wet debris from the floor, the cleaning device enters scrubbing mode, and fluid control module 3 switches to the second state. Water in the water tank assembly is sprayed out through second water spray port 5, wetting roller brush 101. The wet roller brush 101 scrubs the floor, and power module 8 generates power to draw the dirt into dirt suction pipe 7. The dirt enters the water tank assembly through dirt suction pipe 7 as a gas-solid-liquid mixture. After this gas-solid-liquid mixture encounters the separator, the power module expel clean air to the exterior, while the wastewater containing the dirt and debris is intercepted by the separator and retained in the water tank assembly.
[0057] Therefore, the cleaning device can switch between the vacuuming mode and the floor washing mode through the fluid control module 3, without the need to disassemble the cleaning device, which is easy to operate and can improve the user experience.

The water in the water tank assembly passes through the water pump 31 and the three-way solenoid valve 32 and is sprayed out through the first water spray port 4. The cleaning device enters the vacuum mode. The roller brush 101 can roll up dry debris such as dust and debris on the ground. The dry debris is sucked into the dirt suction pipe 7 in the form of a gas-solid mixture. The dirt in the form of a gas-solid mixture mixes with the water sprayed from the first water spray port 4 in the dirt suction pipe 7 to form a gas-solid-liquid mixture. The dirt enters the water tank assembly through the dirt suction pipe 7. After the gas-solid-liquid mixture encounters the separator, the power module 8 acts to discharge clean air to the outside, and the sewage containing the dirt is intercepted by the separator in the water tank assembly.

The wet roller brush 101 scrubs the floor, and the power module 8 generates power and sucks the dirt into the dirt suction pipe 7 in the form of a gas-solid-liquid mixture. The dirt enters the water tank assembly through the dirt suction pipe 7. After the gas-solid-liquid mixture encounters the separator, under the action of the power module 8, the clean air is discharged to the outside, and the sewage containing the dirt and garbage is intercepted by the separator in the water tank assembly.
[0060] In an embodiment not shown in the figures, the fluid control module 3 includes a first water pump 33 and a second water pump 34. A first water pump inlet 334 of the first water pump 33 is in communication with the water outlet 21 of the water tank assembly, and a first water pump outlet 332 of the first water pump 33 is in communication with the first water spray port 4; a second water pump inlet 341 of the second water pump 34 is in communication with the water outlet 21 of the water tank assembly, and a second water pump outlet 342 of the second water pump 34 is in communication with the second water spray port 5.

The first water pump is connected to the first water nozzle 4. The water in the water tank assembly passes through the first water pump 33 and is sprayed out through the first water nozzle 4. The roller brush 101 can roll up dry debris such as dust and debris on the ground. The dry debris is sucked into the dirt suction pipe 7 in the form of a gas-solid mixture. The dirt in the form of a gas-solid mixture mixes with the water sprayed from the first water nozzle 4 in the dirt suction pipe 7 to form a gas-solid-liquid mixture.
