[0069] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0070] Currently, cleaning machines typically have multiple operating modes, each with a specific execution logic and sequence within the application scenario. The control panel of a cleaning machine is equipped with multiple buttons and indicator lights. The indicator lights show the current mode, and buttons allow switching to another mode. However, the large number of buttons and indicator lights makes the control panel complex, inconvenient for users, and requires manual switching, resulting in low automation.

[0071] This application proposes a cleaning machine control method, which aims to improve the automation level of the cleaning machine 10 and make it easier for users to use.

[0072] In one embodiment of this application, referring to Figures 1, 12, and 15, the cleaning machine 10 includes a cleaning body 100 and a circulating filter pipe 200 communicating with the cleaning body 100. The cleaning machine 10 has a first washing mode and a second washing mode. The cleaning machine control method includes:

[0073] S100. In response to the received regular washing command, the washing machine is controlled to operate in the first washing mode. In the first washing mode, the washing body is used to output washing water to the water-using end.

[0074] S200: Obtain the running time of the washing machine in the current first washing mode;

[0075] S300A: When the acquired running time reaches the preset running time corresponding to the current first washing mode, the washing machine is controlled to switch to the second washing mode. The second washing mode includes at least a circulating washing mode. In the circulating washing mode, the circulating filter pipe is used to draw in the used water, filter it, and then circulate it to the washing body.

[0076] It is understandable that the cleaning machine 10 can be used as a household appliance or as a commercial appliance. The cleaning machine 10 can have many uses, such as as a shower machine for users to take a bath; it can also be used as a cleaning device for furniture and household items, such as cleaning electrical appliances and furniture products. The specific use is not limited. The dotted arrow in Figure 15 of the instruction manual indicates the direction of water flow.

[0077] In this embodiment, the cleaning body 100 has an inlet and an outlet. The inlet of the cleaning body 100 is used to connect with an external water source to receive water flowing from the municipal water supply system, i.e., water provided by the municipal water supply system. The water provided by the municipal water supply system can be hot water or room temperature water. When the external water source is hot water from the municipal water supply system, hot water typically refers to water with a temperature between 40 and 80 degrees Celsius. Of course, the specific temperature range of hot water can vary depending on the region, and the specific temperature of hot water is not limited. When the external water source is room temperature water from the municipal water supply system, room temperature water is tap water, typically with a temperature between 10 and 25 degrees Celsius. The specific temperature is affected by the season and environment; in winter, the temperature of room temperature water is lower, and in summer, the temperature of room temperature water is higher. The specific temperature of room temperature water is not limited. The outlet of the cleaning body 100 is used to connect with a water user to transport the received water to the water user.

[0078] In one embodiment, the cleaning body 100 may include a water outlet 113, which may include, but is not limited to, a faucet, a shower head, etc. Of course, the cleaning body 100 may also not include the water outlet 113, and users may configure a suitable faucet, shower head, etc. according to their own needs.

[0079] The circulating filter pipe 200 has a water suction end 210 and a connecting end 220. The connecting end 220 of the circulating filter pipe 200 is connected and communicates with the cleaning body 100. The circulating filter pipe 200 has both water suction and filtration functions. It draws in water through the water suction end 210 and filters it, ensuring that the water flowing into the cleaning body 100 is clean water. The water drawn in by the water suction end 210 can be water used by the cleaning machine 10. It should be noted that the used water can be water that has been used for washing by the user from the handheld or top water outlet assembly, such as shower water. In this case, a barrier needs to be set up on the bathroom floor to collect the shower water, and the water suction end 210 of the circulating filter pipe 200 needs to be submerged in the water during use. If it is a washbasin or kitchen sink, no barrier is needed; the water suction end 210 of the circulating filter pipe 200 can be directly submerged at the bottom of the sink. Of course, the suction end 210 can also draw in other water sources, such as domestic water used in other scenarios, or natural water sources such as river water, well water, and rainwater. In other words, the source of the water drawn in by the suction end 210 is not limited, but toxic water sources should be excluded. The suction end 210 can be located below the cleaning body 100, such as on the floor of an indoor bathroom, or in a separate water storage tank used to store used water. By setting up a circulating filter pipeline 200, the used water can be recycled, reducing water waste and improving the water utilization rate of the cleaning machine 10, thus giving the cleaning machine 10 water-saving and energy-saving functions.

[0080] It should be noted that the washing machine 10 may have, but is not limited to, a first washing mode and a second washing mode. The first washing mode is specifically a regular washing mode. The regular washing mode is triggered by a trigger component 600 disposed on the washing machine 10. In one embodiment, the trigger component 600 may include a touch key, a physical button, an infrared sensor key, a sound control, etc. In this embodiment, the trigger component 600 is implemented using a button, which allows switching between the first washing mode and the second washing mode.

[0081] In practical applications, after the washing machine 10 is powered on, it operates in standby mode. When a user has a washing need, they can trigger the trigger component 600 on the washing machine 10 to send a regular washing command to the washing machine 10. When the washing machine 10 receives the regular washing command, it responds to the received command and operates in the first washing mode. In the first washing mode, water from an external water source can enter the washing body 100 through the water inlet and flow to the water user through the water outlet for washing. At the same time, the washing machine 10 obtains its running time in the current first washing mode and compares the obtained running time with the preset running time t1 corresponding to the current first washing mode stored in its memory. When the cleaning machine 10 determines that the acquired running time has reached the preset running time t1 corresponding to the current first washing mode, for example, if the preset running time t1 corresponding to the current first washing mode is 30s, and the acquired running time is not less than 30s, specifically 30s, 31s, or 32s, it indicates that the user has been cleaning for a period of time and a certain amount of wastewater has accumulated on the cleaned floor. The cleaning machine 10 is then controlled to switch from the first washing mode to the second washing mode. The second washing mode includes at least a circulating washing mode, that is, the second washing mode may include, but is not limited to, a circulating washing mode, and may also include a rinsing mode and a drainage mode, etc.

[0082] When the second washing mode only includes a circulating washing mode, the circulating filter pipe 200 can draw in used water, filter it, and then circulate it back to the cleaning body 100. From there, the water is delivered to the user's end for cleaning. In this way, the cleaning machine 10 can recycle used water, reducing water consumption, saving water resources, and improving the water resource utilization rate of the cleaning machine 10. Alternatively, when the second washing mode includes both a circulating washing mode and a rinsing mode, after the circulating washing, water from an external water source can be used to rinse the cleaning body 100 and the circulating filter pipe 200. This saves water resources, extends the service life of the circulating filter pipe 200, ensures the cleanliness of the water drawn in and circulated to the cleaning body 100, reduces the cost and time of replacing the circulating filter pipe 200, and improves the applicability of the cleaning machine 10. When the second washing mode includes the circulating washing mode, the rinsing mode and the draining mode, the water in the washing body 100 and the circulating filter pipe 200 can be discharged after the circulating washing and rinsing, so that the pipe of the washing machine 10 can be kept dry when not in use, thus ensuring the cleanliness of the washing machine 10.

[0083] The cleaning machine 10 of this application can automatically switch between different modes during practical application, effectively improving its automation level, making it easier for users to operate, and enabling the recycling of used water to reduce water consumption, save water resources, and improve the water resource utilization rate of the cleaning machine 10. Furthermore, it can also improve the applicability and cleanliness of the cleaning machine 10.

[0084] In one embodiment of this application, referring to FIG15, the cleaning body 100 includes a cleaning pipeline 110 connected to the circulating filter pipeline 200;

[0085] In the first washing mode, the cleaning pipeline 110 is used to output water from an external water source to the water user;

[0086] In the circulating washing mode, the circulating filter pipe 200 is used to draw in the used water, filter it, and then circulate it to the cleaning pipe 110.

[0087] In this embodiment, the cleaning body 100 includes a cleaning pipe 110, which has an inlet and an outlet. The inlet is connected to an external water source to receive and store water flowing from the municipal water supply system. The outlet is connected to a water user to deliver water from the storage container 120 to the water user. For example, in the first washing mode, water from an external water source can enter the cleaning pipe 110 through the inlet and flow to the water user through the outlet for user washing. In the circulating washing mode, the circulating filter pipe 200 can draw in used water, filter it, and circulate it back to the cleaning pipe 110, which then delivers it to the water user for user washing.

[0088] In one embodiment of this application, referring to FIG15, the cleaning body includes a cleaning pipeline 110 and a water storage container 120 that is connected to the cleaning pipeline 110 and the circulating filter pipeline 200 respectively.

[0089] In the first washing mode, the cleaning pipeline 110 is used to output water from the water storage container 120 to the water user;

[0090] In the circulating washing mode, the circulating filter pipe 200 is used to draw in the used water, filter it, and then circulate it to the water storage container 120.

[0091] The following embodiments, including this embodiment, are described with the cleaning body 100 including a cleaning pipeline 110 and a water storage container 120. The water storage container 120 is connected to both the cleaning pipeline 110 and the circulating filtration pipeline 200. The water storage container 120 has a water inlet end, which is used to connect to an external water source to receive and store water flowing from the municipal water supply system. By providing the water storage container 120, water from the external water source and / or the circulating filtration pipeline 200 can be stored. The cleaning pipeline 110 has a water outlet end, which is used to connect to a water user to transport water from the water storage container 120 to the water user. For example, in the first washing mode, water from an external water source can enter the water storage container 120 through the inlet end of the water storage container 120, flow through the water storage container 120 to the cleaning pipeline 110, and then be delivered to the water-using end for user washing. In the circulating washing mode, the circulating filter pipeline 200 can draw in the used water, filter it, and then circulate it to the water storage container 120, flow through the water storage container 120 to the cleaning pipeline 110, and then be delivered to the water-using end for user washing.

[0092] In one embodiment of this application, referring to FIG15, the water storage container 120 includes a first water chamber 121 and a second water chamber 122. The first water chamber 121 of the water storage container 120 is connected to an external hot water source for receiving and storing hot water flowing out of the municipal water supply system. The second water chamber 122 of the water storage container 120 is connected to an external ambient temperature water source for receiving and storing ambient temperature water flowing out of the municipal water supply system.

[0093] In one embodiment of this application, referring to FIG15, the cleaning body 100 further includes a mixing valve 130. The mixing valve 130 can be disposed outside the water storage container 120, or it can be disposed on the water storage container 120. The specific installation position is not limited, as long as the mixing valve 130 can be connected to the first water chamber 121 and the second water chamber 122 respectively. The mixing valve 130 can be a mechanical thermostatic valve or an electronic thermostatic valve, which can be set according to needs and is not limited here. By setting the mixing valve 130, the hot water in the first water chamber 121 and the room temperature water in the second water chamber 122 can be mixed according to the usage requirements to meet the user's water temperature requirements. The mixing valve 130 is also connected to the water inlet of the cleaning pipeline 110 to deliver the water mixed by the mixing valve 130 to the water user for cleaning.

[0094] Based on the above embodiments, in one embodiment of this application, referring to FIG15, the cleaning pipeline 110 includes a cleaning pipe 111 and a washing pump 112 disposed on the cleaning pipe 111. One end of the cleaning pipe 111 is connected to a mixing valve 130, and the other end of the cleaning pipe 111 is used to connect to the water supply end. In the first washing mode, an external hot water source provides hot water to the first water chamber 121, and an external ambient temperature water source provides ambient temperature water to the second water chamber 122. The mixing valve 130 mixes the hot water and the ambient temperature water, and the mixed water is pumped to the water supply end by the washing pump 112 for user cleaning. In addition, by setting the washing pump 112, the water mixed by the mixing valve 130 can be pumped along the cleaning pipe 111 to the water supply end to provide a strong water flow and improve the cleaning capacity of the cleaning machine 10. A water outlet component 113 can be installed at the water outlet end of the cleaning pipe 111 for convenient use.

[0095] In one embodiment of this application, referring to FIG15, the circulating filtration pipeline 200 includes a circulating pipe 230, a circulating pump 240, and a filter element 250. The circulating pipe 230 has a water intake end 210 and a connecting end 220, the connecting end 220 being connected to a water storage container 120. The circulating pump 240 is disposed on the circulating pipe 230 between the water intake end 210 and the connecting end 220, and the filter element 250 is disposed on the circulating pipe 230 between the connecting end 220 and the circulating pump 240. In the second washing mode, the circulating washing mode, an external hot water source provides hot water to the first water chamber 121, and an external ambient temperature water source provides ambient temperature water to the second water chamber 122. At the same time, the circulating pump 240 operates. The motor or other power source of the circulating pump 240 drives the impeller in the pump body to rotate. The rotation of the impeller creates a negative pressure at the suction end 210 to draw the used water into the pump body. After the water passes through the high-speed rotation of the impeller, the kinetic energy and pressure energy increase and it is pumped into the second water chamber 122. The mixing valve 130 mixes the hot water and the ambient temperature water. The mixed water is pumped to the water-using end by the washing pump 112 for the user to use for washing. In addition, the water drawn in by the circulating pump 240 can also flow through the filter element 250 for filtration. The types of filter element 250 include, but are not limited to, activated carbon filters, reverse osmosis membranes, ceramic filters, etc. The filter element 250 can remove impurities, pollutants, microorganisms, bacteria and viruses in the water to purify the water, so that the water flowing into the second water chamber 122 is clean water.

[0096] In one embodiment of this application, referring to Figures 2, 12 and 15, the second washing mode further includes a rinsing mode, and the washing machine 10 further includes a rinsing pipe 300.

[0097] In this embodiment, the circulating filtration pipeline 200 further includes a first valve body 260, which is disposed on the circulating pipeline between the connecting end 220 and the filter element 250, and located at the lower end of the water storage container 120. The flushing pipeline 300 includes a flushing pipe 310 and a flushing valve 320. One end of the flushing pipe 310 is connected to the circulating pipeline 230 between the connecting end 220 and the filter element 250, and the other end of the flushing pipe 310 is connected to the water storage container 120 and / or the cleaning pipeline 111. The flushing valve 320 is disposed on the flushing pipe 310.

[0098] Following step S200, the cleaning machine control method further includes:

[0099] S300B: The circulating washing mode and the rinsing mode are executed sequentially according to the first preset time sequence. In the rinsing mode, the rinsing pipeline is used to rinse at least the circulating filter pipeline of both the washing body and the circulating filter pipeline.

[0100] It is understandable that the circulating filtration pipeline 200 may include a filter element 250. When the circulating filtration pipeline 200 filters the used water, fine debris and other impurities in the wastewater easily accumulate on the filter element 250, thereby reducing the flow rate of the filter element 250 and affecting the filtration effect. In order to ensure the filtration effect, the user needs to replace the filter element 250 frequently, which will increase the maintenance work and cost of the cleaning machine 10.

[0101] To improve the above situation, in conjunction with the above embodiments, in this embodiment, the second washing mode further includes a rinsing mode, and the washing machine 10 further includes a rinsing pipe 300. When the washing machine 10 determines that the acquired running time has reached the preset running time t1 corresponding to the current first washing mode, it controls the washing machine 10 to sequentially execute the circulating washing mode and the rinsing mode according to a first preset time sequence. The first preset time sequence is pre-stored in the washing machine 10 to characterize the time and order in which the washing machine 10 executes the circulating washing mode and the rinsing mode. In this embodiment, the washing machine 10 executes the circulating washing mode first, and then executes the rinsing mode.

[0102] In the circulating washing mode, the circulating filter pipe 200 can draw in used water, filter it, and then circulate it to the water storage container 120 of the washing body 100. From there, it is transported from the water storage container 120 to the washing pipe 110 of the washing body 100, and finally to the user's end via the washing pipe 110 for washing. In this way, the washing machine 10 can automatically switch between different modes and recycle used water, thereby reducing water consumption, conserving water resources, and improving the water resource utilization rate of the washing machine 10. Simultaneously, the washing machine 10 obtains its running time in the current circulating washing mode. When the cleaning machine 10 determines that the acquired running time has reached the preset running time t2 corresponding to the current circulating washing mode, it indicates that the user has performed a sufficient amount of circulating washing. Most of the wastewater from cleaning the floor has been filtered and recycled by the circulating filter pipe 200. However, due to the filtration operation, the filter element 250 of the circulating filter pipe 200 may have accumulated a certain amount of impurities. Therefore, the cleaning machine 10 switches from the circulating washing mode to the rinsing mode, using the rinsing pipe 300 to rinse at least the circulating filter pipe 200 of both the cleaning body 100 and the circulating filter pipe 200. For example, in the rinsing mode... In this configuration, if the circulation pump 240 is not running and the first valve body 260 is opened, water in the water storage container 120 can flow through the first valve body 260 under the action of gravity to the filter element 250 and / or the circulation pump 240, thus rinsing the filter element 250 and / or the circulation pump 240; or, if the circulation pump 240 is running in reverse and the first valve body 260 is opened, water in the water storage container 120 can flow through the first valve body 260 under the combined action of gravity and the circulation pump 240 to the filter element 250 and / or the circulation pump 240, thus rinsing the filter element 250 and / or the circulation pump 240. Alternatively, the outlet of the mixing valve 130 can be opened, the washing pump 112 can be operated, the circulation pump 240 can be deactivated, the flushing valve 320 can be opened, and the first valve body 260 can be closed. An external hot water source supplies hot water to the first water chamber 121, and / or an external ambient temperature water source supplies ambient temperature water to the second water chamber 122. The hot and ambient temperature water mix and flow through the mixing valve 130, then through the washing pump 112 and the flushing valve 320 to flush the filter element 250 and / or the circulation pump 240. Alternatively, the outlet of the mixing valve 130 can be opened, the washing pump 112 can be operated, and the circulation pump 240 can be deactivated. 40 is not running, the flushing valve 320 is opened, the first valve body 260 is opened, the external hot water source provides hot water to the first water chamber 121 and / or the external ambient temperature water source provides ambient temperature water to the second water chamber 122. The hot water and ambient temperature water are mixed and flow through the mixing valve 130, and then through the washing pump 112 and the flushing valve 320 to flush the filter element 250 and / or the circulation pump 240. At the same time, the water in the second water chamber 122 can flow through the first valve body 260 under the action of gravity to the filter element 250 and / or the circulation pump 240 to flush the filter element 250 and / or the circulation pump 240.Alternatively, the outlet of the mixing valve 130 can be opened, the washing pump 112 can be operated, the circulation pump 240 can be reversed, the flushing valve 320 can be opened, and the first valve body 260 can be opened. An external hot water source provides hot water to the first water chamber 121, and / or an external ambient temperature water source provides ambient temperature water to the second water chamber 122. The hot and ambient temperature water mix and flow through the mixing valve 130, then through the washing pump 112 and flushing valve 320 to flush the filter element 250 and / or the circulation pump 240. Simultaneously, water in the second water chamber 122 can flow through the first valve body 260 under the combined action of gravity and the circulation pump 240 to flush the filter element 250 and / or the circulation pump 240. Alternatively, the outlet of the mixing valve 130 can be closed, the washing pump 112 can be deactivated, the circulation pump 240 can be deactivated, the flushing valve 320 can be closed, and the first valve body 260 can be opened. When valve body 260 is opened, an external hot water source provides hot water to the first water chamber 121 and / or an external ambient temperature water source provides ambient temperature water to the second water chamber 122. Water in the second water chamber 122 can flow through the first valve body 260 under gravity to the filter element 250 and / or the circulation pump 240, rinsing the filter element 250 and / or the circulation pump 240. Alternatively, the outlet of the mixing valve 130 can be closed, the washing pump 112 can be stopped, the circulation pump 240 can be reversed, the flushing valve 320 can be closed, and the first valve body 260 can be opened. An external hot water source provides hot water to the first water chamber 121 and / or an external ambient temperature water source provides ambient temperature water to the second water chamber 122. Water in the second water chamber 122 can flow through the first valve body 260 under the combined action of gravity and the circulation pump 240, rinsing the filter element 250 and / or the circulation pump 240. The above-described rinsing method can extend the service life of the circulating filter pipe 200, ensure the cleanliness of the water drawn into and circulated to the cleaning unit 100, reduce the cost and time of replacing the circulating filter pipe 200, and improve the applicability of the cleaning machine 10 by enabling automatic switching between different modes.

[0103] In one embodiment of this application, referring to Figures 3, 12 and 15, the second washing mode further includes a drainage mode, and the washing machine 10 further includes a drainage pipe 400, which is connected to at least one of the washing body 100 and the circulating filter pipe 200.

[0104] Following step S200, the cleaning machine control method further includes:

[0105] S300C executes the circulating washing mode and the draining mode sequentially according to the first preset time sequence. In the draining mode, the water in the washing body and the circulating filter pipe is discharged through the drain pipe.

[0106] It is understandable that after the cleaning machine 10 finishes cleaning, there will still be water remaining in the cleaning body 100 and the circulating filter pipe 200. If the cleaning machine 10 is not used for a long time, the water remaining in the pipe is prone to bacteria growth and corrosion, which will affect the service life of the cleaning machine 10.

[0107] To improve the above situation, in conjunction with the above embodiments, in this embodiment, the second washing mode further includes a drainage mode, and the washing machine 10 further includes a drainage pipe 400, which is connected to the circulating filter pipe 200. When the washing machine 10 determines that the acquired running time has reached the preset running time t1 corresponding to the current first washing mode, it controls the washing machine 10 to execute the circulating washing mode and the drainage mode sequentially according to a first preset time sequence. The first preset time sequence is pre-stored in the washing machine 10 to characterize the time and order in which the washing machine 10 executes the circulating washing mode and the drainage mode. In this embodiment, the washing machine 10 executes the circulating washing mode first, and then executes the drainage mode.

[0108] In the circulating washing mode, the drain pipe 400 is closed, and the circulating filter pipe 200 can draw in used water, filter it, and circulate it to the water storage container 120 of the washing body 100. From there, it is transported to the washing pipe 110 of the washing body 100, and finally to the user's washing end via the washing pipe 110. In this way, the washing machine 10 can automatically switch between different modes and recycle used water, reducing water consumption, saving water resources, and improving the water resource utilization rate of the washing machine 10. Simultaneously, the washing machine 10 acquires its running time in the current circulating washing mode. When the washing machine 10 determines that the acquired running time has reached the preset running time t2 corresponding to the current circulating washing mode, it indicates that the user has performed sufficient circulating washing. The washing machine 10 then switches from the circulating washing mode to the drain mode. In the drain mode, the drain pipe 400 opens, and water in the washing body 100 and the circulating filter pipe 200 can be discharged through the drain pipe 400. There are many ways to connect the drain pipe 400. For example, the drain pipe 400 can be connected to the cleaning pipe 110 of the cleaning body 100, allowing the remaining water after washing in the circulating filter pipe 200 to flow to the cleaning pipe 110, and the remaining water after washing in the cleaning pipe 110 to flow through the drain pipe 400 and be discharged outwards; or, the drain pipe 400 can be connected to the circulating filter pipe 200, allowing the remaining water after washing in the cleaning pipe 110 to flow to the circulating filter pipe 200, and the circulating filter pipe... The remaining water after washing in section 200 can be discharged through drain pipe 400; or, drain pipe 400 is connected to cleaning pipe 110 and circulating filter pipe 200, so that the remaining water after washing in cleaning pipe 110 and circulating filter pipe 200 can be discharged through drain pipe 400. In this way, the cleaning machine 10 can automatically switch between different modes under the cleaning function, and can also discharge the remaining water after washing, thereby improving the service life of the cleaning machine 10.

[0109] In one embodiment of this application, referring to Figures 4, 12 and 15, the second washing mode further includes a rinsing mode and a draining mode. The washing machine 10 further includes a rinsing pipe 300 and a draining pipe 400 connected to at least one of the washing body 100 and the circulating filter pipe 200.

[0110] Following step S200, the cleaning machine control method further includes:

[0111] S300D executes the circulating washing mode, rinsing mode and draining mode in sequence according to the first preset time order. In the rinsing mode, the rinsing pipe is used to rinse at least the circulating filter pipe of the cleaning body and the circulating filter pipe. In the draining mode, the water in the cleaning body, the circulating filter pipe and the rinsing pipe is discharged through the drain pipe.

[0112] It is understandable that the circulating filtration pipeline 200 may include a filter element 250. When the circulating filtration pipeline 200 filters the used water, fine debris and other impurities in the wastewater easily accumulate on the filter element 250, thereby reducing the flow rate of the filter element 250 and affecting the filtration effect. Moreover, to ensure the filtration effect, the user needs to frequently replace the filter element 250, which increases the maintenance work and cost of the cleaning machine 10. Furthermore, after the cleaning machine 10 finishes cleaning, water remains in the cleaning body 100 and the circulating filtration pipeline 200. If the cleaning machine 10 is not used for a long time, the water remaining in the pipeline is prone to bacterial growth and corrosion, affecting the service life of the cleaning machine 10.

[0113] To simultaneously improve the above situation, in conjunction with the above embodiments, in this embodiment, the second washing mode further includes a rinsing mode and a draining mode, and the washing machine 10 further includes a rinsing pipe 300 and a draining pipe 400. When the washing machine 10 determines that the acquired running time has reached the preset running time t1 corresponding to the current first washing mode, it controls the washing machine 10 to execute the circulating washing mode, rinsing mode, and draining mode sequentially according to a first preset time sequence. The first preset time sequence is pre-stored in the washing machine 10 to characterize the time and order in which the washing machine 10 executes the circulating washing mode, rinsing mode, and draining mode. In this embodiment, the washing machine 10 first executes the circulating washing mode, then the rinsing mode, and finally the draining mode.

[0114] In the circulating washing mode, the circulating filter pipe 200 can draw in used water, filter it, and then circulate it to the water storage container 120 of the washing body 100. From there, it is transported from the water storage container 120 to the washing pipe 110 of the washing body 100, and finally to the user's end via the washing pipe 110 for washing. In this way, the washing machine 10 can automatically switch between different modes and recycle used water, thereby reducing water consumption, conserving water resources, and improving the water resource utilization rate of the washing machine 10. Simultaneously, the washing machine 10 obtains its running time in the current circulating washing mode. When the cleaning machine 10 determines that the acquired running time has reached the preset running time t2 corresponding to the current circulating washing mode, it indicates that the user has performed a sufficient amount of circulating washing. Most of the wastewater from cleaning the floor has been filtered and recycled by the circulating filter pipe 200. However, due to the filtration operation, the filter element 250 of the circulating filter pipe 200 may have accumulated a certain amount of impurities. Therefore, the cleaning machine 10 switches from the circulating washing mode to the rinsing mode, using the rinsing pipe 300 to rinse at least the circulating filter pipe 200 of both the cleaning body 100 and the circulating filter pipe 200. For example, in the rinsing mode... In this configuration, if the circulation pump 240 is not running and the first valve body 260 is opened, water in the water storage container 120 can flow through the first valve body 260 under the action of gravity to the filter element 250 and / or the circulation pump 240, thus rinsing the filter element 250 and / or the circulation pump 240; or, if the circulation pump 240 is running in reverse and the first valve body 260 is opened, water in the water storage container 120 can flow through the first valve body 260 under the combined action of gravity and the circulation pump 240 to the filter element 250 and / or the circulation pump 240, thus rinsing the filter element 250 and / or the circulation pump 240. Alternatively, the outlet of the mixing valve 130 can be opened, the washing pump 112 can be operated, the circulation pump 240 can be deactivated, the flushing valve 320 can be opened, and the first valve body 260 can be closed. An external hot water source supplies hot water to the first water chamber 121, and / or an external ambient temperature water source supplies ambient temperature water to the second water chamber 122. The hot and ambient temperature water mix and flow through the mixing valve 130, then through the washing pump 112 and the flushing valve 320 to flush the filter element 250 and / or the circulation pump 240. Alternatively, the outlet of the mixing valve 130 can be opened, the washing pump 112 can be operated, and the circulation pump 240 can be deactivated. 40 is not running, the flushing valve 320 is opened, the first valve body 260 is opened, the external hot water source provides hot water to the first water chamber 121 and / or the external ambient temperature water source provides ambient temperature water to the second water chamber 122. The hot water and ambient temperature water are mixed and flow through the mixing valve 130, and then through the washing pump 112 and the flushing valve 320 to flush the filter element 250 and / or the circulation pump 240. At the same time, the water in the second water chamber 122 can flow through the first valve body 260 under the action of gravity to the filter element 250 and / or the circulation pump 240 to flush the filter element 250 and / or the circulation pump 240.Alternatively, the outlet of the mixing valve 130 can be opened, the washing pump 112 can be operated, the circulation pump 240 can be reversed, the flushing valve 320 can be opened, and the first valve body 260 can be opened. An external hot water source provides hot water to the first water chamber 121, and / or an external ambient temperature water source provides ambient temperature water to the second water chamber 122. The hot and ambient temperature water mix and flow through the mixing valve 130, then through the washing pump 112 and flushing valve 320 to flush the filter element 250 and / or the circulation pump 240. Simultaneously, water in the second water chamber 122 can flow through the first valve body 260 towards the filter element under the combined action of gravity and the circulation pump 240. The filter element 250 and / or the circulation pump 240 are flushed; or, the outlet of the mixing valve 130 is closed, the washing pump 112 is not operated, the circulation pump 240 is not operated, the flushing valve 320 is closed, and the first valve body 260 is opened, so that an external hot water source provides hot water to the first water chamber 121 and / or an external ambient temperature water source provides ambient temperature water to the second water chamber 122, wherein the water in the second water chamber 122 can flow through the first valve body 260 under the action of gravity to the filter element 250 and / or the circulation pump 240 to flush the filter element 250 and / or the circulation pump 240;Alternatively, the outlet of the mixing valve 130 can be closed, the washing pump 112 can be deactivated, the circulation pump 240 can be reversed, the flushing valve 320 can be closed, and the first valve body 260 can be opened. An external hot water source provides hot water to the first water chamber 121 and / or an external ambient temperature water source provides ambient temperature water to the second water chamber 122. The water in the second water chamber 122 can flow through the first valve body 260 to the filter element 250 and / or the circulation pump 240 under the combined action of gravity and the circulation pump 240, thus flushing the filter element 250 and / or the circulation pump 240. This can improve the service life of the circulation filter pipe 200, ensure the cleanliness of the water drawn into and circulated to the cleaning body 100, reduce the cost and time of replacing the circulation filter pipe 200, and improve the applicability of the cleaning machine 10 based on the automatic switching of different modes. Meanwhile, the cleaning machine 10 acquires its runtime in the current rinsing mode. When the cleaning machine 10 determines that the acquired runtime has reached the preset runtime t3 corresponding to the current rinsing mode (for example, if the preset runtime t3 is 15s, and the acquired runtime is not less than 15s, specifically 15s, 16s, or 17s), it indicates that the filter element 250 of the circulating filter pipe 200 has been cleaned and no further rinsing is needed. The cleaning machine 10 then switches from the rinsing mode to the drainage mode. In the drainage mode, the drainage pipe 400 opens, allowing the remaining water in the rinsing pipe 300 to flow to the cleaning body 100 and / or the circulating filter pipe 200. The remaining water in the cleaning body 100 and the circulating filter pipe 200 can be discharged through the drainage pipe 400. Thus, the cleaning machine 10 can automatically switch between different modes under the cleaning function and discharge the remaining water after rinsing, improving the service life of the cleaning machine 10. The cleaning machine 10 also includes a drainage mode. The cleaning machine 10 acquires its runtime in the current drainage mode. When the cleaning machine 10 determines that the acquired runtime has reached the preset runtime t4 corresponding to the current drainage mode (for example, if the preset runtime t4 is 120s, and the acquired runtime is not less than 120s, specifically 120s, 121s, or 122s), it indicates that the remaining water in the cleaning body 100, the circulating filter pipe 200, and the rinsing pipe 300 has been completely drained, and further drainage is unnecessary. The cleaning machine 10 then switches from the drainage mode to the standby mode. In standby mode, the cleaning body 100, the circulating filter pipe 200, and the rinsing pipe 300 do not operate.

[0115] In one embodiment of this application, referring to Figures 5, 12, and 15, after step S300A, the cleaning machine control method further includes:

[0116] S400A: In response to the received circulating filter pipeline detection command, the circulating filter pipeline is detected;

[0117] S500A: When an abnormality is detected in the circulating filter pipeline, the control machine switches from the second washing mode to the first washing mode.

[0118] It is understandable that the circulating filter pipeline 200 may include a circulating pump 240. Without proper maintenance and upkeep, the circulating pump 240, which operates continuously for extended periods, is prone to motor overheating, leading to electrical malfunctions or even motor burnout. This prevents it from drawing in wastewater, filtering it, and circulating it back to the cleaning unit 100, thus failing to provide clean cleaning water to the cleaning unit 100 and meet the user's cleaning needs.

[0119] To improve the above situation, in conjunction with the above embodiments, in this embodiment, the cleaning machine 10 can communicate with a control terminal, which may include, but is not limited to, mobile phones, tablets, desktop computers, etc., and the detection command for the circulating filter pipeline 200 can be issued by the control terminal and received by the cleaning machine 10. When the cleaning machine 10 switches to the second washing mode and receives the detection command for the circulating filter pipeline 200, it detects the circulating pump 240 of the circulating filter pipeline 200 in response to the received detection command. When the cleaning machine 10 determines that the circulating pump 240 has experienced motor overheating, causing electrical faults or other abnormalities, it controls the cleaning machine 10 to switch from the circulating washing mode of the second washing mode to the first washing mode, so that water from the external water source can enter the cleaning body 100 and be delivered to the water-using end for user cleaning, thus meeting the cleaning needs.

[0120] In one embodiment of this application, referring to Figures 6, 12, and 15, after step S300A, the cleaning machine control method further includes:

[0121] S400B, in response to a regular washing command received in the second washing mode, controls the washing machine to switch from the second washing mode to the first washing mode.

[0122] In conjunction with the above embodiments, in this embodiment, when the cleaning machine 10 switches to the circulating washing mode of the second washing mode and receives a regular washing command, it indicates that the water circulating from the circulating filter pipe 200 to the water storage container 120 of the cleaning body 100 cannot meet its cleaning needs. In response to the received regular washing command, the cleaning machine 10 switches from the circulating washing mode of the second washing mode to the first washing mode, so that water from an external water source can enter the water storage container 120 of the cleaning body 100, be transported through the water storage container 120 of the cleaning body 100 to the cleaning pipe 110 of the cleaning body 100, and then be transported through the cleaning pipe 110 to the water-using end for user cleaning, thus meeting the cleaning needs.

[0123] In one embodiment of this application, referring to Figures 7, 12, and 15, the cleaning machine 10 further includes a third washing mode, a rinsing pipe 300, and a drain pipe 400 connected to at least one of the cleaning body 100 and the circulating filter pipe 200. The cleaning machine control method further includes:

[0124] S600, in response to the received washing pause command, controls the washing machine to operate in washing pause mode, in which the washing body is used to stop outputting washing water to the water-using end;

[0125] S700: Obtain the running time of the washing machine in the current washing pause mode;

[0126] S800. When the acquired running time reaches the preset running time corresponding to the current washing pause mode, control the washing machine to switch to the third washing mode. The third washing mode includes at least one of a rinsing mode and a draining mode. In the rinsing mode, the rinsing pipe is used to rinse at least one of the washing body and the circulating filter pipe. In the draining mode, the water in the washing body and the circulating filter pipe is discharged through the draining pipe.

[0127] S900: Within the preset runtime corresponding to the current wash pause mode, cancel the wash pause command and execute according to the original mode.

[0128] In conjunction with the above embodiments, in this embodiment, when the washing machine 10 receives a washing pause command after operating in the first washing mode or the second washing mode, it indicates that the user has completed washing and there is no current need for washing. The washing machine 10 responds to the received washing pause command and operates in the washing pause mode. In the washing pause mode, the washing unit 100 stops outputting washing water to the water-using end. Simultaneously, the washing machine 10 acquires its runtime in the current washing pause mode and compares the acquired runtime with its stored preset runtime t5 corresponding to the current washing pause mode. When the washing machine 10 determines that the acquired running time has reached the preset running time t5 corresponding to the current washing pause mode, for example, the preset running time t5 corresponding to the current washing pause mode is 300s, and the acquired running time is not less than 300s, specifically 300s, 301s, or 302s, it indicates that the user has stopped using water for a period of time. Based on this, it can be determined that the user has no washing needs in the future, and the washing machine 10 is controlled to switch the washing pause mode to the third washing mode. The third washing mode includes at least one of the rinsing mode and the draining mode. That is, the third washing mode can include only the rinsing mode, or only the draining mode, or both the rinsing mode and the draining mode.

[0129] When the third washing mode includes a rinsing mode, in the rinsing mode, the rinsing pipe 300 can use water from an external water source or water from the storage container 120 to rinse at least one of the two circulating filter pipes 200, the main washing unit 100 and the circulating filter pipe 200. This allows the washing machine 10 to automatically switch between different modes during the washing function, improves the service life of the circulating filter pipe 200, ensures the cleanliness of the water drawn into and circulated to the main washing unit 100, reduces the cost and time of replacing the circulating filter pipe 200, and enhances the applicability of the washing machine 10 while achieving automatic switching between different modes. Alternatively, when the third washing mode only includes a draining mode, in the draining mode, the drain pipe 400 is opened, and the main washing unit... Water in the main body 100 and the circulating filter pipe 200 can be discharged to the outside through the drain pipe 400. In this way, the cleaning machine 10 can automatically switch between different modes under the cleaning function, and can also discharge the remaining water after washing, thereby improving the service life of the cleaning machine 10. Alternatively, in the third washing mode, which includes a rinsing mode and a draining mode, the rinsing pipe 300 can be used to rinse the main body 100 and / or the circulating filter pipe 200, and the drain pipe 400 can be used to discharge the remaining water after washing in the main body 100 and / or the circulating filter pipe 200 and / or the rinsing pipe 300. In this way, the cleaning machine 10 can automatically switch between different modes under the cleaning function, thereby improving the applicability and service life of the cleaning machine 10.

[0130] In one embodiment of this application, referring to Figures 8, 12, and 15, the cleaning machine control method further includes:

[0131] S1000: In response to the received self-cleaning command, control the cleaning machine to operate in self-cleaning mode, in which control at least one of the cleaning body and the circulating filter pipeline to perform self-cleaning of the cleaning machine.

[0132] In conjunction with the above embodiments, in this embodiment, when the cleaning machine 10 receives a self-cleaning command after the cleaning is finished, it indicates that the user wants to maintain and service the cleaning machine 10. In response to the received self-cleaning command, the cleaning machine 10 operates in self-cleaning mode. In self-cleaning mode, the cleaning body 100 and / or the circulating filter pipeline 200 are controlled to perform self-cleaning on the cleaning machine 10. For example, the cleaning body 100 is connected to an external water source, and water from the external water source enters the cleaning body 100 and flows through the cleaning body 100 to the circulating filter pipe 200; or, the cleaning body 100 is connected to an external water source, and the circulating filter pipe 200 is connected to a cleaning liquid source, and the circulating filter pipe 200 can draw in the cleaning liquid and circulate it to the cleaning body 100 to clean the dirt in the circulating filter pipe 200 and the cleaning body 100. Then, water from the external water source enters the cleaning body 100 and flows through the cleaning body 100 to the circulating filter pipe 200 to flush away the residual cleaning liquid in the circulating filter pipe 200 and the cleaning body 100, thereby achieving deep cleaning of the two pipes.

[0133] In one embodiment of this application, referring to Figures 9, 12 and 15, the self-cleaning mode includes a first cleaning mode, a second cleaning mode, a third cleaning mode and a drainage mode. The cleaning machine 10 also includes a flushing pipe 300 and a drainage pipe 400 connected to at least one of the cleaning body 100 and the circulating filter pipe 200.

[0134] The steps in S1000 specifically include:

[0135] S1010. The first cleaning mode, the second cleaning mode, the third cleaning mode, and the drainage mode are executed sequentially according to the second preset time sequence. In the first cleaning mode, the circulating filter pipe is used to draw in cleaning liquid and circulate it to the cleaning body to clean the cleaning body and the circulating filter pipe. In the second cleaning mode, the circulating filter pipe is used to draw in used water, filter it, and circulate it to the cleaning body to rinse the cleaning body and the circulating filter pipe. In the third cleaning mode, the rinsing pipe is used to connect to an external water source to rinse at least the circulating filter pipe of both the cleaning body and the circulating filter pipe a second time. In the drainage mode, the water in the cleaning body, the circulating filter pipe, and the rinsing pipe is discharged through the drainage pipe.

[0136] In conjunction with the above embodiments, in this embodiment, when the cleaning machine 10 receives a self-cleaning command, it controls the cleaning machine 10 to sequentially execute the first cleaning mode, the second cleaning mode, the third cleaning mode, and the drainage mode according to a second preset time sequence. The second preset time sequence is pre-stored in the cleaning machine 10 and represents the time and order in which the cleaning machine 10 executes the first cleaning mode, the second cleaning mode, the third cleaning mode, and the drainage mode. In this embodiment, the cleaning machine 10 first executes the first cleaning mode, then the second cleaning mode, then the third cleaning mode, and finally the drainage mode.

[0137] The first cleaning mode is a self-cleaning mode. In this mode, the circulating filter pipe 200 can draw cleaning fluid from the cleaning fluid source and circulate it to the water storage container 120 of the cleaning body 100. From there, the water storage container 120 delivers the cleaning fluid to the cleaning pipe 110 and the circulating filter pipe 200 of the cleaning body 100, respectively, for deep cleaning of both. Simultaneously, the cleaning machine 10 acquires its runtime in the current first cleaning mode. When the cleaning machine 10 determines that the acquired runtime has reached the preset runtime t6 corresponding to the current first cleaning mode (e.g., the preset runtime t6 is 390s, and the acquired runtime is not less than 390s, specifically 390s, 391s, or 392s), it indicates that the cleaning fluid has completely covered the cleaning body 100 and the circulating filter pipe 200, meaning there is a large amount of cleaning fluid within them. The cleaning machine 10 then switches from the first cleaning mode to the second cleaning mode. The second cleaning mode is a pipeline self-cleaning mode. In this mode, the circulating filter pipe 200 can draw in used water, filter it, and then circulate it to the water storage container 120 of the cleaning body 100. From there, the water is transported to the cleaning pipe 110 of the cleaning body 100 to flush away the cleaning liquid in both the cleaning body 100 and the circulating filter pipe 200. Simultaneously, the cleaning machine 10 acquires its operating time in the second cleaning mode. When the cleaning machine 10 determines that the acquired operating time has reached the preset operating time t7 corresponding to the current second cleaning mode (e.g., the preset operating time t7 is 60s, and the acquired operating time is not less than 60s, specifically 60s, 61s, or 62s), it indicates that most of the cleaning liquid has been flushed away, and the pipe has achieved self-cleaning. However, due to the aforementioned self-cleaning operation, the filter element 250 of the circulating filter pipe 200 may have accumulated a certain amount of impurities. Therefore, the cleaning machine 10 switches from the second cleaning mode to the third cleaning mode. The third cleaning mode is the aforementioned rinsing mode. In this mode, the rinsing pipe 300 can use water from an external water source or water from the storage container 120 to rinse at least the circulating filter pipe 200 of both the cleaning body 100 and the circulating filter pipe 200. This reduces impurities on the filter element 250 of the circulating filter pipe 200, extends its service life, ensures the cleanliness of the water drawn into and circulated to the cleaning body 100, reduces the cost and time of replacing the circulating filter pipe 200, and improves the applicability of the cleaning machine 10 by enabling automatic switching between different modes. Simultaneously, the cleaning machine 10 obtains its operating time in the third cleaning mode.When the cleaning machine 10 determines that the acquired runtime has reached the preset runtime t8 corresponding to the current third cleaning mode (for example, if the preset runtime t8 for the current third cleaning mode is 15s, and the acquired runtime is not less than 15s, specifically 16s, 17s, or 18s, etc.), it indicates that the filter element 250 of the circulating filter pipe 200 has been cleaned and no further rinsing is needed. The cleaning machine 10 is then controlled to switch from the third cleaning mode to the drainage mode. In the drainage mode, the drainage pipe 400 is opened, and the remaining water after washing in the cleaning body 100, the circulating filter pipe 200, and the rinsing pipe 300 can be discharged through the drainage pipe 400. Thus, the cleaning machine 10 can automatically switch between different modes under its self-cleaning function and discharge the remaining water after washing, improving the service life of the cleaning machine 10. The cleaning machine 10 also includes a drainage mode. The cleaning machine 10 acquires its running time in the current drainage mode. When the cleaning machine 10 determines that the acquired running time has reached the preset running time t9 corresponding to the current drainage mode, for example, if the preset running time t9 corresponding to the current drainage mode is 120s, and the acquired running time is not less than 120s, specifically 120s, 121s, or 122s, it indicates that the remaining water in the cleaning body 100, the circulating filter pipe 200, and the rinsing pipe 300 after washing has been completely discharged and there is no need to drain it anymore. The cleaning machine 10 is then controlled to switch from the drainage mode to the standby mode. In the standby mode, the cleaning body 100, the circulating filter pipe 200, and the rinsing pipe 300 do not work.

[0138] In one embodiment of this application, referring to Figures 9, 12, and 15, during the process of sequentially executing the first cleaning mode, the second cleaning mode, the third cleaning mode, and the drainage mode according to a second preset time sequence:

[0139] S1011. If a regular washing command is received, the current mode will still be maintained.

[0140] In this embodiment, when the cleaning machine 10 is operating in the first cleaning mode and receives a regular washing command, the cleaning machine 10 is controlled to continue operating in the first cleaning mode. In the first cleaning mode, the cleaning machine 10 controls the circulating filter pipe 200 to draw in cleaning liquid and circulate it to the cleaning body 100. At this time, both the circulating filter pipe 200 and the cleaning body 100 contain a large amount of cleaning liquid, which is not conducive to the user's cleaning operation. Alternatively, when the cleaning machine 10 is operating in the second cleaning mode and receives a regular washing command, the cleaning machine 10 is controlled to continue operating in the second cleaning mode. In the second cleaning mode, the cleaning machine 10 controls the circulating filter pipe 200 to draw in used water, filter it, and circulate it to the cleaning body 100 to rinse the cleaning liquid present in the circulating filter pipe 200 and the cleaning body 100. During this process, the circulating filter pipe 200 and the cleaning body 100... The presence of a large amount of cleaning fluid in the cleaning body 100 is also detrimental to cleaning. Alternatively, when the cleaning machine 10 is operating in the third cleaning mode and receives a regular washing command, the cleaning machine 10 is controlled to continue operating in the third cleaning mode. In the third cleaning mode, the cleaning machine 10 controls the flushing pipe 300 to flush at least the circulating filter pipe 200 and the cleaning pipe 110 in the water storage container 120. However, in the early stage of flushing, a small amount of cleaning fluid still exists in both the water storage container 120 and the cleaning pipe 110, which is also detrimental to cleaning. Alternatively, when the cleaning machine 10 is operating in the drainage mode and receives a regular washing command, the cleaning machine 10 is controlled to continue operating in the drainage mode. In the drainage mode, the cleaning machine 10 uses the drainage pipe 400 to drain the water in the circulating filter pipe 200 and the cleaning body 100. The water discharged at this time is the water after washing, which is also detrimental to cleaning.

[0141] In one embodiment of this application, referring to Figures 10, 12, and 15, the cleaning machine 10 further includes a fault mode and a standby mode, and the cleaning machine control method further includes:

[0142] S1100: In response to the received cleaning machine detection command, perform a detection on the cleaning machine;

[0143] S1200A: When an abnormality is detected in the cleaning machine, the cleaning machine is controlled to operate in a fault mode, in which at least one of the cleaning body and the circulating filter pipeline fails.

[0144] And / or, S1200B, when the abnormality is eliminated, controls the cleaning machine to operate in standby mode, in which the cleaning body and the circulating filter pipeline do not work.

[0145] It is understood that the cleaning unit 100 may include a washing pump 112, and the circulating filtration pipeline 200 may include a circulating pump 240. Without proper maintenance and upkeep, the washing pump 112 or circulating pump 240, operating continuously for extended periods, is prone to motor overheating, leading to electrical malfunctions or even motor burnout. This could cause the cleaning unit 100 to be unable to supply cleaning water to the user, failing to meet the user's cleaning needs, and / or the circulating filtration pipeline 200 to be unable to draw in wastewater, filter it, and circulate it back to the cleaning unit 100. This results in both the inability to provide clean cleaning water to the cleaning unit 100 to meet cleaning requirements and the inability to recycle used water, leading to water waste.

[0146] To improve the above situation, in conjunction with the above embodiments, in this embodiment, the washing machine 10 can communicate with a control terminal. The control terminal may include, but is not limited to, mobile phones, tablets, desktop computers, etc. The detection command of the washing machine 10 can be issued by the control terminal and received by the washing machine 10. When the washing machine 10 is running in any one of the first washing mode, the second washing mode, and the third washing mode, upon receiving the detection command of the washing machine 10, it detects the washing pump 112 of the washing body 100 and the circulation pump 240 of the circulation filter pipeline 200 in response to the received detection command. When the washing machine 10 determines that at least one of the circulation pump 240 and the washing pump 112 has an abnormality such as motor overheating or electrical fault, it controls the washing machine 10 to switch from any one of the first washing mode, the second washing mode, and the third washing mode to the fault mode. In the fault mode, if at least one of the washing body 100 and the circulation filter pipeline 200 malfunctions, the washing machine 10 can issue an alarm for the fault, such as by installing a buzzer to emit a buzzing sound to alert the user. The user determines that the cleaning machine 10 has malfunctioned and troubleshoots it. After the malfunction is resolved, the cleaning machine 10 automatically switches from the fault mode to the standby mode. In the standby mode, the cleaning body 100 and the circulating filter pipeline 200 do not work.

[0147] In one embodiment of this application, referring to Figures 11, 12, and 15, the cleaning machine 10 further includes a self-cleaning mode and a standby mode, and the cleaning machine control method further includes:

[0148] S1300: After the cleaning machine is powered on, if it is determined that the cleaning machine is not running in self-cleaning mode, control the cleaning machine to run in standby mode.

[0149] In conjunction with the above embodiments, in this embodiment, after the cleaning machine 10 is powered on, the cleaning machine 10 detects whether it is operating in self-cleaning mode. If the cleaning machine 10 determines that it is operating in self-cleaning mode, it controls the cleaning machine 10 to continue operating in self-cleaning mode until the running time of self-cleaning mode reaches the preset running time corresponding to the current self-cleaning mode, and then switches to standby mode; if the cleaning machine determines that it is not operating in self-cleaning mode, it directly switches to standby mode. This ensures that the cleaning machine 10 enters standby mode under completely clean conditions, ensuring the cleanliness of the cleaning machine 10 and improving the user's cleaning experience.

[0150] This application also proposes a cleaning machine control device 500. Referring to FIG14, the cleaning machine control device 500 is based on the cleaning machine control method described above. The specific structure of the cleaning machine control method is as described in the above embodiments. Since the cleaning machine control device 500 adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0151] As shown in Figure 15, the cleaning machine control device 500 may include: a processor 510, such as a CPU, a communication bus, a user interface, a network interface, and a memory 520. The communication bus is used to enable communication between these components. The user interface may include a standard wired interface or a wireless interface. The memory 520 may be a high-speed RAM memory 520 or a stable memory 520, such as a disk storage device 520. The memory 520 may also be a storage device independent of the aforementioned processor 510.

[0152] This application also proposes a cleaning machine 10. Referring to FIG15, the cleaning machine 10 includes a cleaning body 100, a circulating filter pipeline 200, and a control device 500. The control device 500 is the cleaning machine control device 500 described above. The specific structure of the cleaning machine control device 500 is as described in the above embodiments. Since the cleaning machine 10 adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0153] In one embodiment of this application, referring to FIG15, the cleaning body 100 includes a cleaning pipeline 110 and a water storage container 120 connected to the cleaning pipeline 110 and the circulating filter pipeline 200, respectively. The water storage container 120 is used to connect to an external water source to receive and store water flowing out of the municipal water supply system.

[0154] In one embodiment of this application, referring to FIG15, the water storage container 120 includes a first water chamber 121 and a second water chamber 122. The first water chamber 121 of the water storage container 120 is connected to an external hot water source for receiving and storing hot water flowing out of the municipal water supply system. The second water chamber 122 of the water storage container 120 is connected to an external ambient temperature water source for receiving and storing ambient temperature water flowing out of the municipal water supply system.

[0155] In one embodiment of this application, referring to FIG15, the cleaning body 100 further includes a mixing valve 130. The mixing valve 130 can be disposed outside the water storage container 120, or it can be disposed on the water storage container 120. The specific installation position is not limited, as long as the mixing valve 130 can be connected to the first water chamber 121 and the second water chamber 122 respectively. The mixing valve 130 can be a mechanical thermostatic valve or an electronic thermostatic valve, which can be set according to needs and is not limited here. By setting the mixing valve 130, the hot water in the first water chamber 121 and the room temperature water in the second water chamber 122 can be mixed according to the usage requirements to meet the user's water temperature requirements. The mixing valve 130 is also connected to the water inlet of the cleaning pipeline 110 to deliver the water mixed by the mixing valve 130 to the water user for cleaning.

[0156] Based on the above embodiments, in one embodiment of this application, referring to FIG15, the cleaning pipeline 110 includes a cleaning pipe 111 and a washing pump 112 disposed on the cleaning pipe 111. One end of the cleaning pipe 111 is connected to a mixing valve 130, and the other end of the cleaning pipe 111 is used to connect to the water supply end. In the first washing mode, an external hot water source provides hot water to the first water chamber 121, and an external ambient temperature water source provides ambient temperature water to the second water chamber 122. The mixing valve 130 mixes the hot water and the ambient temperature water, and the mixed water is pumped to the water supply end by the washing pump 112 for user cleaning. In addition, by setting the washing pump 112, the water mixed by the mixing valve 130 can be pumped along the cleaning pipe 111 to the water supply end to provide a strong water flow and improve the cleaning capacity of the cleaning machine 10. A water outlet component 113 can be installed at the water outlet end of the cleaning pipe 111 for convenient use.

[0157] In one embodiment of this application, referring to FIG15, the circulating filtration pipeline 200 includes a circulating pipe 230 communicating with a water storage container 120, a circulating pump 240 disposed on the circulating pipe 230, and a filter element 250. In the second washing mode, the circulating washing mode, an external hot water source provides hot water to the first water chamber 121, and an external ambient temperature water source provides ambient temperature water to the second water chamber 122. At the same time, the circulating pump 240 operates. The motor or other power source of the circulating pump 240 drives the impeller in the pump body to rotate. The rotation of the impeller creates a negative pressure at the suction end 210 to draw the used water into the pump body. After the water passes through the high-speed rotation of the impeller, the kinetic energy and pressure energy increase and it is pumped into the second water chamber 122. The mixing valve 130 mixes the hot water and the ambient temperature water. The mixed water is pumped to the water-using end by the washing pump 112 for the user to use for washing. In addition, the water drawn in by the circulating pump 240 can also flow through the filter element 250 for filtration. The types of filter element 250 include, but are not limited to, activated carbon filters, reverse osmosis membranes, ceramic filters, etc. The filter element 250 can remove impurities, pollutants, microorganisms, bacteria and viruses in the water to purify the water, so that the water flowing into the second water chamber 122 is clean water.

[0158] In one embodiment of this application, referring to FIG15, the flushing pipeline 300 includes a flushing pipe 310 and a flushing valve 320. One end of the flushing pipe 310 is connected to the circulation pipe 230 between the connection end 220 and the filter element 250, and the other end of the flushing pipe 310 is connected to the water storage container 120 and / or the cleaning pipe 111. The flushing valve 320 is provided on the flushing pipe 310. In the rinsing mode, an external hot water source supplies hot water to the first water chamber 121 and / or an external ambient temperature water source supplies ambient temperature water to the second water chamber 122. Clean water in the storage container 120 flows through the mixing valve 130, and then through the washing pump 112 and the rinsing valve 320 to rinse the filter element 250 on the circulation pipe 230. The water after rinsing the filter element 250 is discharged outward, thereby cleaning the filter element 250. This can improve the service life of the filter element 250 and ensure that clean water can be delivered to the second water chamber 122 when the circulation filter pipe 200 is used again. This not only ensures the cleanliness of the delivered water, but also reduces the cost and time of replacing the filter element 250, and improves the applicability of the cleaning machine 10.

[0159] In one embodiment of this application, referring to FIG15, the drainage pipe 400 includes a drainage pipe 410 and a drainage valve 420. One end of the drainage pipe 410 is connected to the circulation pipe 230, and the other end of the drainage pipe 410 is used for draining water outward. The drainage valve 420 is disposed on the drainage pipe 410. In the drainage mode, the remaining water in the first water chamber 121 and the second water chamber 122 flows into the cleaning pipe 111. The water in the cleaning pipe 111 flows into the circulation pipe 230 along the rinsing pipe 310, and the water in the circulation pipe 230 is discharged outward along the drainage pipe 410. This can prevent the growth of bacteria and improve the reliability of the cleaning machine 10.

[0160] In one embodiment of this application, referring to FIG15, the water storage container 120 includes a first float assembly 1201 and a second float assembly 1202. The first float assembly 1201 is disposed in the first water cavity 121 for detecting the water level of the first water cavity 121; the second float assembly 1202 is disposed in the second water cavity 122 for detecting the water level of the second water cavity 122.

[0161] It is understood that the first water chamber 121 has a first opening, and the first float assembly 1201 is located at the first opening to detect the water level in the first water chamber 121; correspondingly, the second water chamber 122 has a second opening, and the second float assembly 1202 is located at the second opening to detect the water level in the second water chamber 122. The structures of the first float assembly 1201 and the second float assembly 1202 can be the same or different, and are not specifically limited here. In this application, the structures of the first float assembly 1201 and the second float assembly 1202 are the same. The first float assembly 1201 includes a float and a level gauge. The level gauge is horizontally disposed at the first opening of the first water chamber 121. One end of the float is hinged to the level gauge, and the other end of the float is rotatably disposed relative to the level gauge. When the water level in the first water chamber 121 changes, the other end of the float floats with the change in water level. The float contains a magnetic component, and the level gauge has a reed switch. The float moves the magnetic component up and down, and the reed switch continuously senses the float's position changes. When the water level in the first water chamber 121 drops, the float and magnet drop together with the liquid level, the magnet moves away from the reed switch, and the reed switch is triggered to send a signal corresponding to the water level. When the water level in the first water chamber 121 rises, the float and magnet rise together with the liquid level, the magnet approaches the reed switch, causing the reed switch to close, and sending a signal corresponding to the water level. This configuration enables the detection of the water level in the first water chamber 121. Of course, the float can also achieve its monitoring or control function by combining it with other components. For example, when a touch sensor, light sensor, or touch switch is installed at a certain water level, the water level can also be monitored by the up and down movement of the float.

[0162] In one embodiment of this application, referring to FIG15, the second float assembly 1202 includes a first sub-float assembly 1203 and a second sub-float assembly 1204 disposed in the second water chamber 122. The first sub-float assembly 1203 is disposed above the second sub-float assembly 1204 and spaced apart from the second sub-float assembly 1204. The control device 500 is electrically connected to the first sub-float assembly 1203 and the second sub-float assembly 1204. In the circulating washing mode, the control device 500 is used to maintain the water level of the second water chamber 122 between the first sub-float assembly 1203 and the second sub-float assembly 1204 according to the water level detection signals of the first sub-float assembly 1203 and the second sub-float assembly 1204.

[0163] Understandably, the first sub-float assembly 1203 is positioned above the second sub-float assembly 1204. The first sub-float assembly 1203 is used to detect the high water level in the second water chamber 122, and the second sub-float assembly 1204 is used to detect the low water level in the second water chamber 122. When the washing machine 10 is in the circulating washing mode, the washing body 100 drains water towards the water outlet. At this time, an external hot water source provides hot water to the first water chamber 121, and an external ambient temperature water source and / or the circulating filter pipe 200 provides ambient temperature water to the second water chamber 122. If the water level in the second water chamber 122 causes the magnet in the first sub-float assembly 1203 to approach the reed switch and engage, it indicates that the water level in the second water chamber 122 is higher than the preset high water level. At this time, both the external ambient temperature water source and the circulating filter pipe 200 stop supplying water to the second water chamber 122. If the water level in the second water chamber 122 causes the magnet in the second sub-float assembly 1204 to approach the reed switch and engage, while the reed switch in the first sub-float assembly 1203 does not engage, it indicates that the water level in the second water chamber 122 is between the first sub-float assembly 1203 and the second sub-float assembly 1204, that is, the water level in the second water chamber 122 is between the preset high water level and the preset low water level. At this time, the external ambient temperature water source stops supplying water to the second water chamber 122, and the control device 500 controls the operation of the circulation filter pipeline 200, which supplies water to the second water chamber 122. If the water level in the second water chamber 122 causes the reed switch in the first sub-float assembly 1203 to not engage, and the reed switch in the second sub-float assembly 1204 to also not engage, it indicates that the water level in the second water chamber 122 is below the second sub-float assembly 1204, that is, the water level in the second water chamber 122 is below the preset low water level. At this time, both the external ambient temperature water source and the circulating filter pipeline 200 supply water to the second water chamber 122.

[0164] To facilitate the control of external water supply to the first water chamber 121 and the second water chamber 122, in one embodiment of this application, referring to FIG15, the cleaning machine 10 further includes a first inlet valve and a second inlet valve. The first water chamber 121 is connected to an external hot water source through the first inlet valve, and the second water chamber 122 is connected to an external ambient temperature water source through the second inlet valve. It can be understood that when the first inlet valve is open, external hot water flows through the first inlet valve into the first water chamber 121; when the first inlet valve is closed, external hot water cannot flow into the first water chamber 121. The first inlet valve acts as a switch to control the flow of hot water into the first water chamber 121. Similarly, when the second inlet valve is open, external ambient temperature water flows through the second inlet valve into the second water chamber 122; when the second inlet valve is closed, external ambient temperature water cannot flow into the second water chamber 122. The second inlet valve acts as a switch to control the flow of ambient temperature water into the second water chamber 122.

[0165] In one embodiment of this application, referring to FIG15, the cleaning machine 10 further includes a first one-way valve and a second one-way valve. The first one-way valve is disposed on the pipeline between the first water inlet valve and the first water chamber 121, and the first one-way valve flows unidirectionally from one side of the first water inlet valve to the first water chamber 121. The second one-way valve is disposed on the pipeline between the second water inlet valve and the second water chamber 122, and the second one-way valve flows unidirectionally from one side of the second water inlet valve to the second water chamber 122. It can be understood that by setting the first one-way valve, water flowing through the first water inlet valve can only flow unidirectionally into the first water chamber 121, thereby preventing water in the first water chamber 121 from flowing back to the external hot water source, ensuring the stability and safety of the hot water flow. Similarly, by setting the second one-way valve, water flowing through the second water inlet valve can only flow unidirectionally into the second water chamber 122, thereby preventing water in the second water chamber 122 from flowing back to the external ambient temperature water source, ensuring the stability and safety of the ambient temperature water flow.

[0166] In one embodiment of this application, referring to FIG15, the water storage container 120 includes a first water tank 123 and a second water tank 124. The first water tank 123 has a first water cavity 121, and the second water tank 124 has a second water cavity 122. The first water tank 123 and the second water tank 124 are separate structures; or, the first water tank 123 and the second water tank 124 are an integral structure. It is understood that when the first water tank 123 and the second water tank 124 are separate structures, it is convenient to manufacture and install them separately, and it is also convenient to maintain or clean either one. When the first water tank 123 and the second water tank 124 are an integral structure, the water storage container 120 has a compact structure, the integrated design reduces material usage and installation costs, and the structure is more robust.
