[0083] One embodiment of this application provides a cleaning component 20, as shown in Figures 6, 8 and 10. The cleaning component 20 includes a mop plate 21 and a mop cloth.

[0084] The mop is placed on the mop plate 21. The top side of the mop plate 21 includes a first guide surface 21a. A portion of the mop plate 21 near the first guide surface 21a is hollowed out to form a hollow area 21b that connects the top and bottom of the mop plate 21.

[0085] The first guide surface 21a guides the cleaning fluid at least partially through the hollow area 21b.

[0086] Another embodiment of this application provides a cleaning device. Please refer to Figures 1, 2 and 4. The cleaning device includes a housing assembly 10 and a cleaning assembly 20 as described in any embodiment of this application.

[0087] Referring to Figures 3 and 5, the housing assembly 10 includes a water inlet hole 10a. The cleaning assembly 20 is rotatably disposed on the bottom side of the housing assembly 10, and the opening of the water inlet hole 10a faces the first guide surface 21a.

[0088] Specifically, the type of cleaning equipment is not limited, and the cleaning component 20 can be used for any type of cleaning equipment, such as a cleaning robot. For ease of description, this application uses a cleaning robot as an example for description.

[0089] The cleaning solution is a liquid that can be used to add water to a mop to achieve the mopping effect. For example, the cleaning solution is water; for ease of description, this application will use water as an example.

[0090] It should be noted that the cleaning equipment may have a water supply component to supply water to the water inlet 10a. The water supply component is a structure that stores a certain amount of water to replenish the mop of the cleaning component 20. For example, the water supply component includes a water tank and a water pump, which supplies water from the water tank to the water inlet 10a, thereby replenishing the mop.

[0091] The cleaning component 20 is mounted on the housing component 10. Both the mop plate 21 and the mop cloth are rotatable relative to the housing component 10, and rotate about the rotation axis of the mop plate 21. The rotation axis is the rotation center axis of the cleaning component 20, which is a virtual line.

[0092] At least a portion of the mop is located at the bottom of the cutout area 21b.

[0093] The top side of the slide 21 includes a first guide surface 21a, wherein the top and bottom sides of the slide 21 are based on the top and bottom orientation of the cleaning equipment in the working state. In fact, the first guide surface 21a is located on the side of the slide 21 closer to the housing assembly 10.

[0094] The first guide surface 21a is the top surface of the slide plate 21 that can guide the water flow from the water inlet 10a to the hollow area 21b and the direction of the slide plate.

[0095] The hollow area 21b is the hollow area on the slide plate 21, that is, the hollow area 21b is the area where the through hole through the slide plate 21 is located.

[0096] The perforated area 21b is located on the drag plate 21 near the first guide surface 21a, which facilitates the first guide surface 21a to guide water flow into the perforated area 21b, and then replenishes water to the mop through the perforated area 21b.

[0097] At least a portion of the mop is located at the bottom of the perforated area 21b. That is, at least a portion of the mop is exposed to the top view through the perforated area 21b, facilitating the entry of water into the mop through the perforated area 21b. Depending on the specific circumstances, either a portion of the mop is located at the bottom of the perforated area 21b, or the entire mop is located at the bottom of the perforated area 21b.

[0098] The specific structural form of the first guide surface 21a is not limited.

[0099] For example, at least a portion of the first guide surface 21a extends circumferentially around the rotation axis of the mop 21. That is, it can be a portion of the first guide surface 21a extending circumferentially around the rotation axis of the mop 21, or it can be the entire first guide surface 21a extending circumferentially around the rotation axis of the mop 21. Thus, during the rotation of the cleaning assembly 20, the guiding effect of the first guide surface 21a can be improved, thereby enabling more even water replenishment to the mop.

[0100] For example, please refer to Figure 6, the first guide surface 21a is an annular guide surface.

[0101] For example, the first guide surface 21a is an arc-shaped guide surface that extends circumferentially along the axis of rotation.

[0102] The specific structural form of the hollowed-out area 21b is not limited.

[0103] For example, at least a portion of the perforated area extends circumferentially around the rotation axis of the mop plate 21. This could be a partial or complete extension of the perforated area 21b around the rotation axis of the mop plate 21. Therefore, during the rotation of the cleaning assembly 20, the flow effect of the perforated area 21b is improved, resulting in more even water distribution on the mop.

[0104] The exact number of openwork areas 21b is unlimited.

[0105] For example, the mop plate 21 has multiple perforated areas 21b, such as 8, 16, or other numbers. In each perforated area 21b, only some areas 21b may be circumferentially spaced around the rotation axis, or all areas 21b may be circumferentially spaced around the rotation axis. Simultaneously, by cooperating with the first guide surface 21a extending circumferentially around the rotation axis of the cleaning assembly 20, the water supply component can more evenly replenish water to the mop during the rotation of the cleaning assembly 20.

[0106] It should be noted that the specific positional relationship between the hollowed-out area 21b and the first guide surface 21a can be set according to the actual situation.

[0107] For example, referring to Figure 6, the first guide surface 21a is at least partially located on the side of the hollow area 21b away from the rotation axis of the mop plate 21. That is, only a portion of the first guide surface 21a may be located on the side of the hollow area 21b away from the rotation axis, i.e., on the outer side of the hollow area 21b. Alternatively, the entire first guide surface 21a may be located on the side of the hollow area 21b away from the rotation axis, i.e., the entire first guide surface 21a may be located on the outer periphery of the hollow area 21b. Therefore, during the rotation of the cleaning assembly 20, when water is supplied to the mop via the water supply assembly, causing water from the water supply hole 10a to flow onto the mop plate 21, the water flow can overcome at least part of the centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the cleaning assembly 20 under the guidance of the first guide surface 21a, thus promoting water flow into the hollow area 21b and achieving water supply to the mop.

[0108] For example, at least a portion of the first guide surface 21a is located on the side of the hollowed-out area 21b closest to the rotation axis. That is, a portion of the first guide surface 21a may be located on the side of the hollowed-out area 21b closest to the rotation axis, i.e., on the inner side of the hollowed-out area 21b. Alternatively, the entire first guide surface 21a may be located on the side of the hollowed-out area 21b closest to the rotation axis, i.e., the entire first guide surface 21a may be located on the inner periphery of the hollowed-out area 21b. This reduces the risk of water splashing onto the rotation axis of the cleaning assembly 20.

[0109] The opening of the water inlet hole 10a faces the first guide surface 21a. It is located on the top side of the first guide surface 21a and is set close to the first guide surface 21a, so that more water from the water supply component can flow onto the first guide surface 21a, making the water supply component better able to replenish water to the mop.

[0110] The cleaning assembly 20 in this embodiment includes a mop plate 21 and a mop cloth. The top side of the mop plate 21 includes a first guide surface 21a. A portion of the mop plate 21 near the first guide surface 21a is hollowed out to form a hollow area 21b connecting the top and bottom of the mop plate 21. The first guide surface 21a at least partially guides the cleaning fluid through the hollow area 21b. Therefore, by providing the first guide surface 21a, the cleaning fluid can be guided to flow into the hollow area 21b and enter the mop cloth through the hollow area 21b, greatly enhancing the water replenishment effect of the cleaning equipment.

[0111] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 10 and 11. The slide plate 21 includes a slide plate body and a water-blocking rib 212. The slide plate body has a hollow area 21b, and the water-blocking rib 212 includes a first flow guiding surface 21a. The water-blocking rib 212 is disposed in the hollow area 21b.

[0112] Specifically, the water-blocking rib 212 has a good water-diverting function. It is set on the water flow path from the water inlet hole 10a to block and guide the water flow from the water inlet hole 10a.

[0113] In one embodiment, the water-blocking rib 212 divides the hollow area 21b into a first hollow area 21ba and a second hollow area 21bb along the radial direction of the slide body. The first hollow area 21ba is located on the side of the water-blocking rib 212 away from the rotation axis of the slide 21. One side of the water-blocking rib 212 includes a first guide surface 21a to guide the cleaning fluid through the hollow area 21b.

[0114] Specifically, under the water-diverting effect of the water-blocking rib 212, a portion of the water flows to the first perforated area 21ba, thereby replenishing the mop area located at the bottom side of the first perforated area 21ba. Simultaneously, another portion of the water flows to the second perforated area 21bb, thereby replenishing the mop area located at the bottom side of the second perforated area 21bb. This achieves a better water-diverting effect, and compared to related technologies where the water inlet holes are directly aligned with the perforated areas, the water replenishment effect is more uniform.

[0115] The water-blocking rib 212 is located within the hollow area 21b. The water-blocking rib 212 divides the hollow area 21b into a first hollow area 21ba and a second hollow area 21bb. The first hollow area 21ba is located on the side of the water-blocking rib 212 away from the axis of rotation, that is, on the outer side of the water-blocking rib 212, while the second hollow area 21bb is located on the side of the water-blocking rib 212 closer to the axis of rotation, that is, on the inner side of the water-blocking rib 212.

[0116] It should be noted that the specific arrangement of the water-blocking ribs 212 is not limited.

[0117] For example, the water-blocking rib 212 is a water-blocking ring that extends axially around the rotation axis.

[0118] For example, please refer to Figure 12. The first guide surface 21a includes a first inclined surface near the first hollow area 21ba. Along the direction near the first hollow area 21ba, the first inclined surface gradually slopes downward.

[0119] Specifically, the first inclined surface 21aa is located on the side of the first guide surface 21a away from the rotation axis, and the first inclined surface 21aa is formed by extending the inclined plane circumferentially around the rotation axis. From the cross-sectional shape of the water-blocking rib 212, the first inclined surface 21aa slopes downward from the side close to the rotation axis to the side away from the rotation axis, thereby facilitating the flow of water from the water inlet hole 10a downward along the first inclined surface 21aa into the first hollow area 21ba.

[0120] For example, the first guide surface 21a includes a second inclined surface near the second hollow area 21bb. Along the direction near the second hollow area 21bb, the second inclined surface gradually slopes downward.

[0121] Specifically, the second inclined surface 21ab is located on the side of the first guide surface 21a closer to the rotation axis. The second inclined surface 21ab is formed by extending an inclined plane circumferentially around the rotation axis. The first inclined surface 21aa and the second inclined surface 21ab have opposite inclination directions. The second inclined surface 21ab slopes downward from the side away from the rotation axis to the side closer to the rotation axis, thereby facilitating the flow of water from the water inlet hole 10a downward along the second inclined surface 21ab into the second hollow area 21bb.

[0122] The specific cross-sectional shape of the water-blocking rib 212 is also not limited.

[0123] For example, at least a portion of the cross-section of the first guide surface 21a of the water-blocking rib 212 is in the shape of at least one of a combination of a circle, an arc, a semicircle, a triangle, a trapezoid, and a rhombus.

[0124] In other words, at least a portion of the cross-section of the first guide surface 21a of the water-blocking rib 212 has the shape described above or a combination thereof. By adopting the above cross-sectional shape, water flow can be facilitated, thereby making it easier to replenish water to the mop.

[0125] In one embodiment, the width of the first perforated area 21ba is greater than or equal to the width of the second perforated area 21bb along the radial direction of the mop body. That is, the water-retaining rib 212 is located relatively inward or in the middle of the perforated area 21b, thus causing the water inlet hole 10a to also be relatively inward or in the middle of the cleaning component 20. Therefore, when water from the water inlet hole 10a flows onto the water-retaining rib 212, the relatively large width of the first perforated area 21ba (located outside the water-retaining rib 212) or the same as the width of the second perforated area 21bb reduces the risk of water escaping from the cleaning component 20 due to centrifugal force. This allows more water to flow through the first perforated area 21ba into the mop, resulting in better water replenishment.

[0126] Of course, in other embodiments, the width of the first cutout area 21ba may be smaller than the width of the second cutout area 21bb.

[0127] For example, the area of ​​the first hollowed-out area 21ba is greater than or equal to the area of ​​the second hollowed-out area 21bb. This can improve the water replenishment effect.

[0128] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 13, the main body of the slide includes a water-blocking sidewall 211, and the top end of the first guide surface 21a is disposed adjacent to the water-blocking sidewall 211. Therefore, the risk of water splashing to the outside is reduced by the blocking effect of the water-blocking sidewall 211, thus improving the water replenishment effect.

[0129] In one embodiment, along the thickness direction of the cleaning component 20, the first guide surface 21a is lower than the top region of the water-blocking sidewall 211.

[0130] Specifically, the slide body has a water-blocking sidewall 211 located on the side of the first hollow area 21ba away from the water-blocking rib 212, and the top of the first guide surface 21a is located on the bottom side of the top edge of the water-blocking sidewall 211. That is, the side of the first hollow area 21ba closest to the rotation axis is the water-blocking rib 212, while the side of the first hollow area 21ba away from the rotation axis is the water-blocking sidewall 211 of the slide body. The top height of the first guide surface 21a (i.e., the height of the top area of ​​the water-blocking rib 212) is lower than the height of the top edge of the water-blocking sidewall 211, thereby reducing the risk of water from the water inlet hole 10a flowing onto the water-blocking rib 212 and detaching from the first hollow area 21ba under centrifugal force. The water-blocking sidewall 211 can effectively block splashing water, further improving the water replenishment effect.

[0131] In one embodiment, in a plane perpendicular to the rotation axis of the mop plate 21, the projection of the water replenishment hole 10a is at least partially located within the coverage area of ​​the projection of the first guide surface 21a. That is, the water replenishment hole 10a is located above the first guide surface 21a. From a projection perspective, the water replenishment hole 10a may be partially located within the projection area of ​​the first guide surface 21a, or it may be entirely located within the projection area of ​​the first guide surface 21a. This allows more water from the water replenishment hole 10a to flow onto the water-blocking rib 212, so that the water can be more evenly replenished into the mop cloth through the water-diverting effect of the water-blocking rib 212.

[0132] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 6 and 7, the first guide surface 21a is located on the side of the hollowed-out area 21b opposite to the rotation axis of the slide plate 21, and the first guide surface 21a is at least partially an inclined surface. This facilitates the guidance of water flow into the hollowed-out area 21b, resulting in better water replenishment of the cleaning equipment.

[0133] In one embodiment, along the radial direction of the cleaning component 20, from the side opposite to the rotation axis to the side closer to the rotation axis, the first guide surface 21a gradually slopes downward. Therefore, when water from the water inlet 10a flows downward onto the first guide surface 21a, because the first guide surface 21a is an inclined surface, gravity allows the water to overcome centrifugal force as much as possible, thus allowing more water to flow downward along the first guide surface 21a into the hollow area 21b, resulting in better water replenishment of the cleaning device.

[0134] Specifically, the side of the cutout area 21b away from the rotation axis refers to the side of the cleaning component 20 that is far away from the cleaning component 20 relative to the cutout area 21b, i.e., the outer side.

[0135] Along the radial direction of the cleaning component 20, the outer side of the first guide surface 21a is higher than the inner side, and it gradually slopes downward toward the inner side (i.e. the side closer to the hollow area 21b), thereby guiding the water flow into the hollow area 21b.

[0136] The slide plate 21 may have a first guide surface 21a formed only on the side of the hollow area 21b away from the rotation axis. Depending on the actual situation, the slide plate 21 may also have a first guide surface 21a formed in other areas.

[0137] For example, the slide plate 21 includes a water-blocking rib 212 with a first flow-guiding surface 21a. The water-blocking rib 212 is disposed within the hollow area 21b, and the water inlet hole 10a faces the first flow-guiding surface 21a on the water-blocking rib 212. Of course, in other embodiments, the housing assembly 10 may have multiple water inlet holes 10a, with one water inlet hole 10a corresponding to the top side of each first flow-guiding surface 21a.

[0138] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 9, the top side of the slide 21 further includes a second guide surface 21c, which is located on the side of the hollow area 21b closer to the rotation axis. This reduces the risk of water splashing towards the side closer to the rotation axis and improves the water replenishment effect.

[0139] In one embodiment, the second guide surface 21c is at least partially a downwardly sloping or curved surface in the direction opposite to the rotation axis. Thus, when water from the water inlet 10a splashes towards the side closer to the rotation axis, it can flow as much as possible into the perforated area 21b under the guiding action of the second guide surface 21c, thereby replenishing the mop.

[0140] Specifically, the second guide surface 21c is located on the side of the hollow area 21b close to the rotation axis, and it corresponds to the first guide surface 21a located on the side of the hollow area 21b away from the rotation axis. However, the tilt direction of the second guide surface 21c is exactly opposite to the tilt direction of the first guide surface 21a.

[0141] The second guide surface 21c can be a sloped surface that slopes downward toward the hollowed-out area 21b, or a curved surface that slopes downward toward the hollowed-out area 21b.

[0142] The specific configuration of the second guide surface 21c can be determined according to actual conditions. For example, the second guide surface 21c can be an annular guide surface. This can improve the overall guiding effect of the second guide surface 21c.

[0143] In one embodiment, the slide plate 21 includes a guide section and an outer edge section. The guide section includes a first guide surface 21a located on the side of the outer edge section near the hollow area 21b. The first guide surface 21a is recessed relative to the top surface of the outer edge section to form a first water-blocking step. Thus, by setting the first water-blocking step, water flow can be effectively prevented from overflowing to the outside, thereby improving the water replenishment effect.

[0144] Specifically, along the radial direction of the cleaning component 20, from the inside out, are the hollow area 21b, the guide section, and the outer edge section. The top surface height of the guide section (i.e., the height of the first guide surface 21a) is lower than the top surface height of the outer edge section, thereby creating a height difference between the guide section and the outer edge section, thus forming the first water-blocking step. When water from the water inlet hole 10a flows onto the first guide surface 21a, due to the guiding effect of the first guide surface 21a and the water-blocking effect of the first water-blocking step, as much water as possible flows towards the hollow area 21b, thereby improving the water replenishment effect.

[0145] It should be noted that the shape of the guide section and the outer edge section is not limited, such as the guide section and the outer edge section being annular regions extending circumferentially around the axis of rotation.

[0146] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 8 and 9, the first guide surface 21a is located on the side of the hollowed-out area 21b away from the rotation axis of the slide plate 21. The first guide surface 21a includes a third inclined surface 21ac and a fourth inclined surface 21ad. The third inclined surface 21ac is located on the side of the fourth inclined surface 21ad away from the hollowed-out area 21b. Along the direction close to the rotation axis, both the third inclined surface 21ac and the fourth inclined surface 21ad are gradually inclined downwards, and the fourth inclined surface 21ad is concave relative to the third inclined surface 21ac, so as to jointly form a second water-blocking step 213. Thus, by setting the second water-blocking step 213, the water flow can be effectively prevented from overflowing to the outside, thereby improving the water replenishment effect.

[0147] In other words, a water-blocking step can also be formed at the first guide surface 21a. By reducing the overall height of the fourth inclined surface 21ad located inside the third inclined surface 21ac, a water-blocking step is formed between the fourth inclined surface 21ad and the third inclined surface 21ac. When the water flow from the water inlet hole 10a flows onto the first guide surface 21a, due to the guiding effect of the first guide surface 21a and the water-blocking effect of the second water-blocking step 213, the water flow can flow towards the hollow area 21b as much as possible, thereby improving the water replenishment effect.

[0148] It should be noted that, in other embodiments, the slide plate 21 may simultaneously have a first water-blocking step and a second water-blocking step 213. Thus, by forming multiple steps, a multi-level water-blocking effect can be achieved, which can further improve the water replenishment effect.

[0149] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 2 and 4, the cleaning component 20 has a retracted state that is retracted to the bottom side of the housing component 10, and an extended state that is extended relative to the housing component 10. When the cleaning component 20 is in at least one of the retracted state and the extended state, the opening of the water inlet hole 10a faces the first guide surface 21a.

[0150] Specifically, depending on the actual situation, the opening of the water inlet hole 10a may face the first guide surface 21a only in the contracted state, or it may face the first guide surface 21a only in the extended state, or the opening of the water inlet hole 10a may face the first guide surface 21a in both the extended and contracted states. Therefore, the design of the water inlet hole 10a in different states can be set according to actual needs.

[0151] For example, when the cleaning component 20 is in the retracted state, the opening of the water inlet 10a faces the first region of the first guide surface 21a; when the cleaning component 20 is in the extended state, the opening of the water inlet 10a faces the second region of the first guide surface 21a. Thus, the need to replenish water to the mop through the water inlet 10a can be met when the cleaning component 20 is in the retracted state.

[0152] Specifically, the cleaning component 20 has a retracted state and an extended state, wherein the overlap area between the cleaning component 20 and the housing component 10 in the retracted state is greater than the overlap area between the cleaning component 20 and the housing component 10 in the extended state. In other words, compared to the extended state, the retracted cleaning component 20 has a larger area covered by the housing component 10.

[0153] Understandably, in the retracted state, the cleaning component 20 may be entirely covered by the housing component 10, or only partially covered by it. In the extended state, the cleaning component 20 may be entirely outside the coverage area of ​​the housing component 10, or only partially outside it.

[0154] Regardless of whether the cleaning component 20 is in a retracted or extended state, the opening of the water inlet hole 10a will always face the first guide surface 21a. The difference lies in the fact that, in different states, the opening of the water inlet hole 10a faces different areas of the first guide surface 21a.

[0155] Another embodiment of this application provides a control method for a cleaning device, as shown in Figure 14. This method is used with any of the cleaning devices described in this application. The cleaning device further includes a water supply component. The cleaning component 20 has a retracted state (contracted to the bottom side of the housing component 10) and an extended state (extended relative to the housing component 10). The control method includes the following steps:

[0156] Step S1: When the cleaning component 20 is in at least one of the retracted state and the extended state, control the water supply component to turn on to replenish water to the mop plate 21 and / or mop along the water inlet 10a, the first guide surface 21a and the hollow area 21b.

[0157] Specifically, when the water supply component is turned on, the water from the water supply component flows sequentially through the water inlet 10a, the first guide surface 21a and the hollow area 21b, and then flows into the mop plate 21 and / or the mop cloth, so as to achieve the purpose of replenishing water to the mop plate 21 and / or the mop cloth.

[0158] The cleaning device can be configured to replenish water to the mop plate 21 and / or mop cloth only when the cleaning component 20 is in the retracted state. Alternatively, it can be configured to replenish water to the mop plate 21 and / or mop cloth only when the cleaning component 20 is in the extended state. It can also be configured to replenish water to the mop plate 21 and / or mop cloth via the water supply component in both the retracted and extended states.

[0159] For example, the control method includes the following steps:

[0160] When the cleaning component 20 is in the retracted state, the water supply component is turned on to replenish water to the mop plate 21 and / or the mop cloth.

[0161] When the cleaning component 20 is in the extended position, no water is added to the mop plate 21 and / or the mop cloth.

[0162] Specifically, the cleaning equipment replenishes water to the mop plate 21 and / or mop head via the water supply component only when the cleaning component 20 is in the retracted state. When the cleaning component 20 is in the extended state, the water supply component is turned off to stop replenishing water to the mop plate 21 and / or mop head.

[0163] It should be noted that in the retracted state, the cleaning equipment can control the water supply component to replenish water to the mop plate 21 and / or the mop cloth, but whether or not water replenishment is needed can be determined according to actual needs.

[0164] In one embodiment, the cleaning device has a wall-moving state, and the control method includes the following steps:

[0165] Confirm that the cleaning equipment is in the off-wall walking state, control the cleaning component 20 to be in the retracted state, and when the cleaning equipment has traveled to the set distance, control the water supply component to turn on to replenish water to the mop plate 21 and / or mop cloth.

[0166] Specifically, the state of the cleaning equipment traveling away from the wall refers to the state in which the cleaning equipment does not travel along the wall or other objects, and there are no obstacles on its path or around it. There are no corners of the wall or other objects or corners of the ground around the cleaning equipment that can be cleaned. Therefore, the cleaning component 20 does not need to extend outside the housing component 10.

[0167] The set distance is the user's preset travel distance.

[0168] In one embodiment, multiple preset water volumes are set, and a mapping relationship between preset water volumes and preset distances is established. When the cleaning equipment travels to the preset distance, the water supply component is controlled to replenish the mop and / or the mop plate 21 with the corresponding preset water volume.

[0169] Specifically, the water volume is set to the user's preset water replenishment volume. When the cleaning device travels a set distance while away from the wall, the water supply component can be turned on to replenish water to the mop plate 21 and / or the mop cloth, with the replenishment volume being the preset water volume. This prevents the cleaning device from traveling too far, thus avoiding the problem of dry mopping, and also prevents the mop cloth from being too wet or too dry due to excessive or insufficient water replenishment.

[0170] It should be noted that the set distance corresponds to the set water volume, meaning that the two are preset and matched. When the cleaning device travels the set distance, the set water volume is added, which can better maintain the water content of the mop and make the mopping effect of the cleaning component 20 good.

[0171] In addition, the cleaning equipment can include multiple preset distances and corresponding multiple preset water volumes, the specific values ​​of which can be set according to actual conditions.

[0172] For example, the water volume setting is divided into a first water volume setting, a second water volume setting, a third water volume setting, a fourth water volume setting, and a fifth water volume setting. The distance setting is divided into a first distance setting (corresponding to the first water volume setting), a second distance setting (corresponding to the second water volume setting), a third distance setting (corresponding to the third water volume setting), a fourth distance setting (corresponding to the fourth water volume setting), and a fifth distance setting (corresponding to the fifth water volume setting).

[0173] The water volume settings at each level can be the same or different values. For example, the water volume can gradually increase from the first to the fifth setting, or gradually decrease from the first to the fifth setting.

[0174] In one embodiment, the first set distance is 230cm, the second set distance is 200cm, the third set distance is 170cm, the fourth set distance is 120cm, and the fifth set distance is 85cm. When the user uses the first set water volume and the first set distance, after traveling 230cm, the first set water volume is added to the mop plate 21 and / or the mop cloth. Since the cleaning device travels the longest distance, it corresponds to the cleaning device's ultra-low water volume mopping mode. When the user uses the fifth set water volume and the fifth set distance, since the cleaning device travels the shortest distance, it corresponds to the cleaning device's ultra-high water volume mopping mode.

[0175] Of course, the water volume and distance settings can be divided into more levels, such as water volume settings of 1 to 30, which correspond to distance settings of 230cm to 85cm, with a step of 5cm.

[0176] In one embodiment, the cleaning device has a wall-walking state, and the control method includes the following steps:

[0177] Confirm that the cleaning equipment is in the wall-walking state. When the cleaning component 20 switches from the extended state to the retracted state, confirm the first actual distance between the location of the cleaning component 20 and the water replenishment location. Control the water supply component according to the ratio of the first actual distance to the set distance and the set duration. The water replenishment location is the location of the cleaning equipment when the water supply component replenished water to the mop plate 21 and / or mop cloth in the previous time.

[0178] Specifically, the wall-walking state of the cleaning equipment refers to the state in which the cleaning equipment walks along a wall or other object. There are corners of the wall or other objects and corners of the ground around the cleaning equipment that need to be cleaned, so the cleaning component 20 needs to extend to the outside of the housing component 10.

[0179] Since the cleaning component 20 needs to be refilled with water in the retracted state, when the cleaning equipment is in the wall-walking state, after the cleaning component 20 switches from the extended state to the retracted state, it is necessary to check whether water needs to be added to the mop plate 21 and / or the mop.

[0180] Specifically, at the time of this judgment, the cleaning equipment's current position is its actual position. Before this judgment, when the water supply component last started replenishing water to the mop plate 21 and / or the mop cloth, the cleaning equipment's current position was the water replenishment position. The actual distance the cleaning equipment travels from the water replenishment position to the actual position is the first actual distance. The opening or closing of the water supply component is controlled by the relationship between the first actual distance, the set distance, and the set duration. Thus, the actual distance the cleaning equipment can travel determines whether water replenishment is needed.

[0181] It should be noted that the water supply components can be controlled based on the actual distance, the set distance, and the set duration, depending on the actual situation.

[0182] For example, the control method includes:

[0183] If the ratio is greater than or equal to the set duration, water is added to the mop 21 and / or the mop cloth.

[0184] If the ratio is less than the set duration, no water will be added to the mop plate 21 and / or the mop cloth.

[0185] Specifically, during the judgment, if the ratio of the first actual distance to the set distance is longer than or the same as the set time, it is determined that the mop is short of water and water needs to be supplied to the mop plate 21 and / or the mop through the water supply component.

[0186] When making a judgment, if the ratio of the first actual distance to the set distance is smaller than the set time, it is determined that the mop is not short of water and there is no need to supply water to the mop plate 21 and / or the mop through the water supply component, and the water supply component can be kept in the closed state.

[0187] Therefore, while automatically replenishing water to the mop plate 21 and / or the mop cloth, the mop cloth will not be too wet due to excessive moisture content, nor too dry due to insufficient moisture content.

[0188] It should be noted that both the set distance and the set duration can be set according to the actual situation.

[0189] For example, in high water volume mode, if the distance is set to 120cm and the time is set to 1S, water will be added only when the first actual distance / 120 is greater than or equal to 1. If it is less than 1, the cleaning component 20 will switch from the retracted state to the extended state and wait for the next switch back to the retracted state before making a judgment.

[0190] It should be noted that in scenarios such as corners or chair legs, the cleaning component 20 will passively extend and retract repeatedly. In this case, the accumulated walking distance can be divided by the set distance. If the quotient is less than the set time, no water will be added. If it is greater than or equal to the set time, water will be added.

[0191] In one embodiment, the control method includes:

[0192] When the cleaning component 20 is in the extended state, confirm the second actual distance between the location of the cleaning equipment and the water replenishment location;

[0193] If the second actual distance traveled is greater than or equal to the set upper limit distance, the cleaning component 20 is switched from the extended state to the retracted state, and the water supply component is turned on. This prevents the cleaning device from remaining in the extended state for too long and thus reducing the risk of dry mopping.

[0194] Specifically, when the cleaning component 20 is in the extended state, the actual distance traveled between the current position of the cleaning device and the position of the cleaning device when the water supply component replenished water to the mop plate 21 and / or mop cloth is determined and compared with the set upper limit distance to determine whether the cleaning device needs to be retracted for water replenishment.

[0195] Understandably, if the second actual distance is less than the set upper limit distance, the cleaning component 20 will remain extended, and the cleaning device can continue to move forward to clean.

[0196] In fact, this method is well applicable to scenarios with flat walls. When the distance along the wall is long, the upper limit of the walking distance can be set to force the retraction and water replenishment.

[0197] For example, if the distance along the wall in front of the cleaning device is 20m, and the cleaning device travels along the wall for 20m without obstacles, the cleaning component 20 will not retract passively. In this case, cleaning the entire 20m will result in the mop running out of water, leading to poor cleaning performance. Therefore, by setting a maximum travel distance, such as 10m, the cleaning device will actively control the cleaning component 20 to retract and replenish water when it reaches the maximum distance.

[0198] In one embodiment, the cleaning device has a limited-range movement state, and the control method includes: confirming that the cleaning device is in the limited-range movement state, and controlling the water supply component to shut off. This reduces the risk of excessive water stains on a small, localized area of ​​the floor when the cleaning device is mopping.

[0199] Specifically, the "small-area walking state" refers to the state where the cleaning equipment is stuck in a small area and repeatedly moves around and mops the floor. If water is added within this small area by dividing the accumulated actual walking distance by the set distance, it may cause excessive water stains in a small area of ​​the floor. Therefore, in this state, the water supply component can be kept off until the cleaning equipment is freed from the stuck state, and then water can be added.

[0200] It should be noted that the specific criteria for judging a small-scale walking state can be set according to the actual situation.

[0201] For example, when the size of the walking space occupied by the cleaning equipment is less than or equal to the set size, it is confirmed that the cleaning equipment is in a small-range walking state.

[0202] It should be noted that the specific setting value for the size can be determined according to the actual situation.

[0203] For example, the set dimension is greater than or equal to 105% of the cleaning equipment's cross-sectional area and less than or equal to 110% of the cleaning equipment's cross-sectional area. In other words, when the cleaning equipment repeatedly moves within a range where the dimension is less than or equal to the set dimension, it is determined that the cleaning equipment is in a small-range movement state. This set dimension can be set according to actual conditions, such as 105%, 108%, or 110% of the cleaning equipment's cross-sectional area.
