Description

Cleaning base stations and control methods

[0001] This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202411784907.1, filed on December 5, 2024, entitled "Clean Base Station and Control Method", the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0002] This application relates to the field of cleaning equipment technology, and in particular to a cleaning base station and control method. Background Technology

[0003] The use of cleaning equipment has greatly reduced the burden of manpower. With the development of technology and the improvement of people's quality of life, cleaning equipment is increasingly being used in people's lives.

[0004] Cleaning equipment can clean surfaces such as floors, walls, and countertops; however, most cleaning equipment can only clean regular stains. For stains with strong odors or foul smells (such as animal urine or feces), cleaning equipment still struggles to effectively remove them, reducing its cleaning effectiveness. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This application provides a cleaning base station and control method, which can effectively improve the cleaning effect of cleaning equipment on odor stains and enhance the overall cleaning capability of the cleaning equipment.

[0006] One aspect of this application provides a cleaning base station for docking a cleaning device, the cleaning device including a mopping component, and the cleaning base station comprising:

[0007] Base station body;

[0008] A liquid storage tank is located within the base station body;

[0009] The liquid storage tank includes a first liquid storage chamber and a second liquid storage chamber. The first liquid storage chamber is used to store cleaning liquid, and the second liquid storage chamber is used to store deodorizing liquid.

[0010] The cleaning base station further includes a first pump body and a second pump body. The first pump body is connected to the first liquid storage chamber, and the second pump body is connected to the second liquid storage chamber. The first pump body is used to deliver the cleaning liquid in the first liquid storage chamber to the mopping component when the cleaning equipment stops at the cleaning base station. The second pump body is used to deliver the deodorizing liquid in the second liquid storage chamber to the mopping component.

[0011] This application establishes a first and a second liquid storage chamber within the liquid storage tank of a cleaning base station, using the first and second chambers respectively to store cleaning fluid and deodorizing fluid. This allows for the initial cleaning of surfaces with odorous stains using the cleaning fluid followed by a routine cleaning of the mop and wiper components. The deodorizing fluid then adheres to the mop and wiper components, effectively removing odorous stains from the surface and enhancing the overall cleaning capability of the equipment.

[0012] In one feasible embodiment, the liquid storage tank further includes a power chamber, within which both the first pump body and the second pump body are located. The power chamber provides sealed protection for the first and second pump bodies, reducing or preventing external dirt and water from entering them and causing damage, thus contributing to extending their service life.

[0013] Furthermore, the first pump body and the second pump body are installed in the liquid storage tank, which can improve the integration between the first pump body and the second pump body and the first liquid storage chamber and the second liquid storage chamber, and facilitate the assembly and disassembly of the liquid storage tank.

[0014] In one feasible embodiment, the base station body has a cleaning tray; the input end of the first pump body is connected to the first liquid storage chamber, the input end of the second pump body is connected to the second liquid storage chamber, and the output ends of both the first pump body and the second pump body are connected to the cleaning tray;

[0015] The cleaning tray is used to place the mopping component when the cleaning equipment stops at the cleaning base station. The first pump and the second pump are used to deliver the cleaning liquid and the deodorizing liquid to the cleaning tray, respectively.

[0016] In one feasible embodiment, the storage tank has a first outlet and a second outlet; one end of the first outlet is connected to the output end of the first pump body, and the other end is connected to the cleaning tray, through which the cleaning liquid is delivered to the cleaning tray; one end of the second outlet is connected to the output end of the second pump body, and the other end is connected to the cleaning tray, through which the deodorizing liquid is delivered to the cleaning tray.

[0017] The first and second liquid outlets can be located on the outer surface of the liquid storage tank to facilitate docking with the interface on the base station body, thereby improving the accuracy of the docking between the liquid storage tank and the base station body. The first and second liquid outlets provide pathways for the output of cleaning and deodorizing liquids, facilitating their delivery to the cleaning tray on the base station body. Furthermore, the easy docking of the first and second liquid outlets with the cleaning tray on the base station body further enhances the accuracy of the docking between the liquid storage tank and the base station body.

[0018] In one feasible embodiment, the base station body has a first interface and a second interface; one end of the first interface is connected to the first outlet on the liquid storage tank, and the other end of the first interface is connected to the cleaning tray, wherein the cleaning liquid is sequentially delivered to the cleaning tray through the first outlet and the first interface under the action of the first pump; one end of the second interface is connected to the second outlet on the liquid storage tank, and the other end of the second interface is connected to the cleaning tray, wherein the deodorizing liquid is sequentially delivered to the cleaning tray through the second outlet and the second interface under the action of the second pump.

[0019] The first interface facilitates communication between the cleaning tray and the first liquid storage chamber, ensuring accurate and quick connection and effectively improving the reliability and stability of the connection. It also enhances the accuracy of the connection between the cleaning tray and the first liquid storage chamber.

[0020] The second interface facilitates communication between the cleaning tray and the second liquid storage chamber. Its connection is accurate, convenient, and quick, effectively improving the reliability and stability of the connection between the two chambers. Furthermore, it enhances the accuracy of the connection between the cleaning tray and the second liquid storage chamber.

[0021] In one feasible embodiment, the cleaning base station further includes: a first valve body located on the base station body, the first valve body having at least three input terminals and at least one output terminal; the first interface and the second interface are respectively connected to two of the input terminals of the first valve body, and the output terminal of the first valve body is connected to the cleaning disc.

[0022] The first valve body can guide the input of cleaning fluid and deodorizing fluid, allowing them to flow along a preset route at the cleaning station, effectively improving the accuracy of their flow.

[0023] Moreover, the first valve body can integrate the control of multiple fluid channels such as cleaning fluid, deodorizing fluid and cleaning tray, which can reduce the number of valves in the cleaning base station and effectively simplify the design and installation of the internal circulation system in the cleaning base station.

[0024] In addition, the first valve body can replace multiple individual valves, which can effectively save installation space and facilitate a cleaner spatial layout within the base station.

[0025] In one feasible implementation, another input end of the first valve body is also connected to a clean water source, through which clean water is delivered to the cleaning tray. The clean water can dissolve the cleaning and deodorizing liquids, allowing them to fully contact the mop attachments to break down stains and effectively improve their cleaning performance.

[0026] In one feasible embodiment, the storage tank has a third outlet; one end of the third outlet is connected to the output ends of the first pump body and the second pump body, and the other end is connected to the cleaning tray, through which the cleaning liquid and the deodorizing liquid are delivered to the cleaning tray.

[0027] The third outlet provides a path for the output of cleaning and deodorizing solutions, facilitating their delivery to the cleaning tray on the base station body. Furthermore, the third outlet allows for easy docking with the cleaning tray on the base station body, improving the accuracy of the docking between the storage tank and the base station body.

[0028] In one feasible embodiment, the base station body has a third interface; one end of the third interface is connected to the third liquid outlet, and the other end is connected to the cleaning tray. The cleaning liquid and the deodorizing liquid are respectively delivered to the cleaning tray through the third liquid outlet and the third interface under the action of the first pump and the second pump.

[0029] The third interface facilitates communication between the cleaning tray and the first and second liquid storage chambers. Its connection is accurate, convenient, and quick, effectively improving the reliability and stability of the connection between the cleaning tray and the first and second liquid storage chambers. Furthermore, it enhances the accuracy of the connection between the cleaning tray and the first and second liquid storage chambers.

[0030] In one feasible embodiment, the liquid storage tank further includes: a second valve body located within the power chamber, the input end of the second valve body being connected to the output ends of the first pump body and the second pump body respectively, and the output end of the second valve body being connected to the third liquid outlet.

[0031] The first and second pump bodies are connected to the third outlet via a second valve body, allowing the cleaning and deodorizing liquids to flow out of the third outlet after entering the first and second pump bodies, guided by the valve body. The second valve body guides the input of the cleaning and deodorizing liquids, ensuring they flow along a preset route within the storage tank, effectively improving the accuracy of their flow.

[0032] In one feasible embodiment, the base station body further includes a third valve body; one input terminal of the third valve body is connected to the output terminal of the third interface, and the output terminal of the third valve body is connected to the cleaning disc.

[0033] The third valve body can provide a guiding path for the flow of cleaning fluid and deodorizing fluid within the base station body, effectively improving the accuracy of cleaning fluid and deodorizing fluid delivery.

[0034] In one feasible manner, another input end of the third valve body is also connected to a clean water source, through which clean water is delivered to the cleaning tray.

[0035] In one feasible embodiment, the mopping component includes a first mopping component and a second mopping component, which are rotatably connected to the cleaning device.

[0036] Water can dissolve cleaning and deodorizing solutions, allowing them to fully contact the mop and wiper to break down stains and effectively improve their cleaning performance.

[0037] In one feasible manner, the liquid storage tank also has a first metal contact and a second metal contact;

[0038] The first metal contact is electrically connected to the first pump body, and the second metal contact is electrically connected to the second pump body. The cleaning base station supplies power to the first pump body and the second pump body through the first metal contact and the second metal contact, respectively.

[0039] A second aspect of this application provides a cleaning method for a mopping component, applied to any of the cleaning base stations described above, the method comprising:

[0040] When determining to perform odor and stain cleaning on the mop and wiping components of the cleaning equipment, the first pump is controlled to deliver cleaning fluid to the mop and wiping components to remove stains; and the second pump is controlled to deliver deodorizing fluid to the mop and wiping components to deodorize them.

[0041] When the cleaning equipment uses the mopping component to clean odor-stained areas, it is determined that the cleaning base station needs to perform odor-stained cleaning on the mopping component.

[0042] In one possible implementation, the odor stain cleaning includes:

[0043] The first pump body is controlled to deliver cleaning fluid to the mopping device to clean and remove dirt from the mopping device in a first time period.

[0044] The second pump body is controlled to deliver deodorizing liquid to the mopping device to deodorize and clean the mopping device in a second time period.

[0045] The first time period and the second time period do not overlap.

[0046] In one possible implementation, the method further includes:

[0047] After the cleaning of the odor stains is completed, the second pump body is controlled to deliver the deodorizing liquid to the mopping component again, so that the cleaning equipment travels to the odor stain area while keeping the mopping component in the raised position, and performs deodorizing cleaning on the odor stain area while keeping the mopping component in the mopping position.

[0048] In one possible implementation, the method includes:

[0049] Control the cleaning equipment to move to the odor-prone stain area and clean the odor-prone stains in the odor-prone stain area;

[0050] Control the cleaning equipment to dock at the cleaning base station;

[0051] The first pump body is controlled to deliver cleaning fluid to the mopping component to clean and remove dirt from the mopping component;

[0052] The second pump body is controlled to deliver deodorizing liquid to the mopping device to deodorize and clean it.

[0053] Control the second pump to deliver the deodorizing liquid to the mopping component again;

[0054] Control the cleaning equipment to travel to the odor-stained area and deodorize and clean the odor-stained area.

[0055] Through the above control methods, the cleaning equipment can effectively remove dirt and odor from odorous stains, effectively removing residual odors while cleaning the odorous stains. This improves the cleaning effect on odorous areas and enhances the overall cleaning capability of the cleaning equipment.

[0056] In one possible implementation, the method includes:

[0057] Control the cleaning equipment to move to the odor-prone stain area and clean the odor-prone stains in the odor-prone stain area;

[0058] Control the cleaning equipment to dock at the cleaning base station;

[0059] The first and second pumps are controlled to simultaneously deliver cleaning liquid and deodorizing liquid to the mopping device to clean and deodorize it.

[0060] Control the first pump and the second pump to deliver the cleaning liquid and the deodorizing liquid to the mopping device again;

[0061] Control the cleaning equipment to travel to the odor-stained area, and perform stain removal and deodorization cleaning on the odor-stained area.

[0062] Through the above control methods, the cleaning equipment can effectively remove dirt and odor from odorous stains, effectively removing residual odors while cleaning the odorous stains. This improves the cleaning effect on odorous areas and enhances the overall cleaning capability of the cleaning equipment. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0075] As described in the background section, existing cleaning stations are only capable of cleaning regular stains. For stains with strong odors or foul smells (such as animal urine, feces, etc.), the cleaning equipment still struggles to effectively treat them, reducing its cleaning efficiency for odorous stains.

[0076] To address the aforementioned problems, this application provides a cleaning base station. This base station comprises a first liquid storage chamber and a second liquid storage chamber within its liquid storage tank, used to store cleaning fluid and deodorizing fluid, respectively. After cleaning areas with odorous stains, the cleaning fluid is first used to perform a routine cleaning of the mop, followed by deodorizing cleaning with the deodorizing fluid. Subsequently, the mop, coated with deodorizing fluid, can be used to further deodorize and clean the remaining odorous stains. This effectively removes odorous stains, significantly improving the cleaning equipment's ability to remove odorous stains and enhancing its overall cleaning capabilities.

[0077] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, 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 some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0078] Figure 1 is a structural schematic diagram of a cleaning system provided in an embodiment of this application, and Figure 2 is a structural schematic diagram of a cleaning device provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0079] This application embodiment provides a cleaning base station. Referring to Figure 1, the cleaning base station 10 can be used to dock cleaning equipment 20. The cleaning equipment 20 can be a robotic vacuum cleaner, a handheld floor scrubber, etc. The cleaning equipment 20 is mainly used to clean stains and dust from surfaces to be cleaned. The surfaces to be cleaned can be floors, walls, or the surface of objects to be cleaned with varying degrees of roughness. This application embodiment does not specifically limit the type of surface to be cleaned. Odor-prone stain areas can be areas on the surface to be cleaned where stains with a strong odor or foul smell are located.

[0080] In this embodiment, the cleaning device 20 will be described as a robotic vacuum cleaner.

[0081] Referring to Figure 2, the cleaning device 20 may include a device body 21 and a mopping component 22 disposed on the device body 21. For example, the mopping component 22 may be a mop, rag, etc., and the mopping component 22 may be rotatably disposed on the device body 21. During operation, the cleaning device 20 may move on the surface to be cleaned, and the surface to be cleaned is cleaned by contacting and rubbing the mopping component 22 with the surface to be cleaned.

[0082] The mopping component 22 may include a first mopping component 22a and a second mopping component 22b. Both components are rotatably connected to the cleaning device 20, allowing them to make frictional contact with the surface as the cleaning device 20 moves across it. For example, the first mopping component 22a may be a left mop, and the second mopping component 22b may be a right mop. The two components 22 rotating independently to clean the surface enhance their flexibility and mopping efficiency, thus improving the cleaning effect of the cleaning device 20.

[0083] A drive unit can also be provided in the main body 21 of the device. The drive unit can drive the mopping component 22 to rotate. For example, a cleaning module can be provided on the main body 21 of the device, and the drive unit can drive the cleaning module to rotate. The mopping component 22 can be installed on the cleaning module. This allows the cleaning module to drive the mopping component 22 to rotate during the rotation process, thereby cleaning the surface to be cleaned.

[0084] The cleaning base station 10 can be used to provide a docking place for the cleaning equipment 20. For example, the cleaning base station 10 can provide storage, charging, and cleaning services for the cleaning equipment 20. For instance, after the cleaning equipment 20 has finished cleaning the surface to be cleaned, it can be placed on the base station to store the cleaning equipment 20. The base station can be connected to a power source so that it can charge the cleaning equipment 20. The cleaning equipment 20 can also be cleaned to keep itself clean, thereby improving the cleaning effect on the surface to be cleaned.

[0085] For example, the cleaning base station 10 may include a base station body 200, which may have a docking platform. After the cleaning device 20 finishes cleaning the surface to be cleaned, it can be placed on the docking platform so that the cleaning base station 10 can store and charge the cleaning device 20 and clean the wiping and mopping components 22 in the cleaning device 20.

[0086] For example, a clean water tank and a wastewater tank can be installed in the cleaning base station 10. When the cleaning equipment 20 is parked on the docking platform of the cleaning base station 10, the clean water in the clean water tank can be transported to the wiping and mopping component 22 to clean the wiping and mopping component 22. The wastewater after cleaning can be transported to the wastewater tank to collect the wastewater so that the user can pour out the wastewater in the wastewater tank.

[0087] The liquid in the clean water tank can also soak the mop 22 or be supplied to the water tank of the cleaning equipment so that the mop 22 can soak the stains on the surface to be cleaned during the cleaning process, reduce the adhesion of the stains, and make it easier to clean the stains from the surface to be cleaned.

[0088] Figure 3 is a structural schematic diagram of a liquid storage tank provided in an embodiment of this application, and Figure 4 is a schematic diagram of the internal structure of a liquid storage tank provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0089] Referring to Figures 3 and 4, the cleaning base station 10 may have a liquid storage tank 100, wherein the liquid storage tank 100 may include a first liquid storage chamber 110 and a second liquid storage chamber 120, wherein the first liquid storage chamber 110 may be used to store cleaning liquid and the second liquid storage chamber 120 may be used to store deodorizing liquid.

[0090] The cleaning solution can remove regular stains, such as for stain removal and cleaning. The deodorizing solution can effectively remove stains with unpleasant odors or odors.

[0091] The cleaning base station 10 may also include a first pump body 101 and a second pump body 102. The first pump body 101 may be connected to the first liquid storage chamber 110, and the second pump body 102 may be connected to the second liquid storage chamber 120. The first pump body 101 may be used to deliver the cleaning liquid in the first liquid storage chamber 110 to the mopping component 22 when the cleaning equipment 20 is parked at the cleaning base station 10. The second pump body 102 may be used to deliver the deodorizing liquid in the second liquid storage chamber 120 to the mopping component 22 when the cleaning equipment 20 is parked at the cleaning base station 10.

[0092] For example, in some cases, after cleaning the odor-stained area with foul-smelling stains, the cleaning device 20 returns to the docking station of the cleaning base station 10. At this time, the first pump 101 in the cleaning base station 10 can be activated to deliver the cleaning fluid in the first liquid storage chamber 110 to the mopping component 22 for routine cleaning of the stains on the mopping component 22.

[0093] After cleaning the regular stains on the mop 22, the second pump 102 can be started to deliver the deodorizing liquid in the second liquid storage chamber 120 to the mop 22 to remove the odor stains on the mop 22 and eliminate the odor.

[0094] After the deodorizing and cleaning of the odor-causing stains on the mop 22 is completed, the second pump 102 can be restarted to deliver the deodorizing liquid from the second reservoir 120 back to the mop 22. At this time, the deodorizing liquid adheres to the mop 22, and the cleaning device 20 can once again proceed to the odor-causing stain area. The odor-causing stain area is cleaned again; because the mop 22 is coated with deodorizing liquid, it can remove the odor-causing stains, thus achieving deodorization and cleaning of the odor-causing stain area.

[0095] Alternatively, in some examples, after cleaning the odor-staining area with foul-smelling stains, the cleaning device 20 returns to its docking station at the cleaning base station 10. At this time, the first pump 101 and the second pump 102 in the cleaning base station 10 can be started simultaneously to deliver the cleaning liquid in the first reservoir 110 and the deodorizing liquid in the second reservoir 120 to the mopping component 22 to clean both regular stains and odor stains on the mopping component 22.

[0096] After cleaning the regular stains and odor stains on the mop 22, the second pump 102 can be restarted to deliver the deodorizing liquid from the second reservoir 120 to the mop 22 again. This allows the deodorizing liquid to adhere to the mop 22, enabling the cleaning device 20 to move again to the odor-laden area for further cleaning. Because the mop 22 is coated with deodorizing liquid, it can effectively remove the odor stains, thus achieving deodorization and cleaning of the odor-laden area.

[0097] This embodiment of the application sets up a first liquid storage chamber 110 and a second liquid storage chamber 120 in the liquid storage tank of the cleaning base station 10, and uses the first liquid storage chamber 110 and the second liquid storage chamber 120 to store cleaning liquid and deodorizing liquid, respectively. In this way, after cleaning the odor-stained area with odorous stains, the mop 22 can be routinely cleaned with cleaning liquid first, and then deodorized and cleaned with deodorizing liquid. Afterwards, the mop 22 can be coated with deodorizing liquid to deodorize and clean the odor-stained area, effectively removing the odor-stained area, improving the cleaning effect of the cleaning equipment 20 on odor-stained stains, and enhancing the overall cleaning capability of the cleaning equipment 20.

[0098] In this embodiment, both the first pump body 101 and the second pump body 102 can be peristaltic pumps. Peristaltic pumps can provide precise flow control and repeatability, effectively improving the accuracy of the outflow dosage of cleaning and deodorizing liquids. This reduces or avoids waste of cleaning and deodorizing liquids, improving the energy efficiency of the cleaning base station.

[0099] Referring again to Figure 4, the liquid storage tank 100 may further include a power chamber 130, within which the first pump body 101 and the second pump body 102 may both be located. For example, the power chamber 130 may be positioned adjacent to the first liquid storage chamber 110 and the second liquid storage chamber 120. The power chamber 130 provides a sealed protection for the first pump body 101 and the second pump body 102, reducing or preventing external dirt and water from entering them and causing damage. This helps to extend the service life of the first pump body 101 and the second pump body 102.

[0100] When cleaning or deodorizing liquid needs to be added, the user can remove the storage tank 100 and add the cleaning or deodorizing liquid to the first storage chamber 110 or the second storage chamber 120, or place the tank containing the cleaning or deodorizing liquid into the first storage chamber 110 or the second storage chamber 120. Correspondingly, the first pump body 101 and the second pump body 102 are arranged in the storage tank 100, which can improve the integration between the first pump body 101 and the second pump body 102 and the first storage chamber 110 and the second storage chamber 120, and facilitate the maintenance of the first pump body 101 and the second pump body 102.

[0101] Figure 5 is a connection diagram of a cleaning system provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0102] Referring to Figure 5, the base station body 200 may have a cleaning tray 240. The input end of the first pump body 101 may be connected to the first liquid storage chamber 110, the input end of the second pump body 102 may be connected to the second liquid storage chamber 120, and the output ends of the first pump body 101 and the second pump body 102 may both be connected to the cleaning tray 240.

[0103] The cleaning tray 240 can be used to place the mopping component 22 when the cleaning equipment 20 is docked at the cleaning base station 10. The first pump body 101 and the second pump body 102 can be used to deliver cleaning liquid and deodorizing liquid to the cleaning tray 240, respectively. The cleaning tray 240 can be recessed or flat, without limitation. For example, the first pump body 101 and the second pump body 102 deliver cleaning liquid and / or deodorizing liquid to the cleaning tray 240 to clean the mopping component 22. Alternatively, when it is necessary to deodorize and clean an area with odorous stains, deodorizing liquid can be delivered to the cleaning tray 240 to apply the deodorizing liquid to the mopping component 22, or deodorizing liquid and cleaning liquid can be delivered to the cleaning tray 240 to apply the deodorizing liquid and cleaning liquid to the mopping component 22, and then the cleaning equipment 20 can be controlled to move to the odorous stain area for deodorization and cleaning.

[0104] During the process of cleaning the mop and wiping component 22 using the cleaning disc 240 or applying deodorizing liquid to the mop and wiping component 22, the movement of the mop and wiping component 22 or the movement of a component in the cleaning disc can be controlled so that the mop and wiping component 22 can make full contact with the cleaning liquid and / or deodorizing liquid.

[0105] When the cleaning tray 240 has a recessed groove, it provides space to hold the cleaning and deodorizing liquids, reducing or preventing the loss of these liquids during the mop assembly 22. This effectively extends the contact time between the cleaning and deodorizing liquids and the mop assembly 22, improving the cleaning and deodorizing effects. Alternatively, the cleaning tray 240 can be designed as a flat surface, such as spraying the cleaning or deodorizing liquid directly onto the mop assembly 22 via an upward spraying method. This improves the uniformity of contact between the mop assembly 22 and the cleaning and deodorizing liquids, further enhancing the cleaning and deodorizing effects.

[0106] Figure 6 is a structural schematic diagram of a liquid storage tank provided in an embodiment of this application from another perspective, and Figure 7 is a structural schematic diagram of a first pump body and a second pump body provided in an embodiment of this application arranged in a liquid storage tank.

[0107] In one possible implementation, referring to Figures 5 and 6, the storage tank 100 may have a first outlet 140 and a second outlet 150. Referring to Figure 7, as indicated by the dashed arrow in Figure 7, the input end of the first pump body 101 can be connected to the first storage chamber 110, and the output end of the first pump body 101 can be connected to the first outlet 140. One end of the first outlet 140 can be connected to the output end of the first pump body 101, and the other end of the first outlet 140 can be connected to the cleaning tray 240, allowing the cleaning fluid to be delivered to the cleaning tray 240 through the first outlet 140.

[0108] For example, after the first pump body 101 starts working, the cleaning fluid in the first liquid storage chamber 110 can enter the first pump body 101 through the input end of the first pump body 101, and then be output from the output end of the first pump body 101 and flow out through the first liquid outlet 140 on the liquid storage tank 100 to the outside of the liquid storage tank 100, thereby entering the cleaning tray 240 in the base station body 200, so as to clean the wiping and mopping parts 22 of the cleaning tray 240.

[0109] Correspondingly, the input end of the second pump body 102 can be connected to the second liquid storage chamber 120, and the output end of the second pump body 102 can be connected to the second liquid outlet 150. One end of the second liquid outlet 150 can be connected to the output end of the second pump body 102, and the other end of the second liquid outlet 150 can be connected to the cleaning tray 240, so that the deodorizing liquid can be delivered to the cleaning tray 240 through the second liquid outlet 150.

[0110] For example, after the second pump body 102 starts working, the cleaning liquid in the second liquid storage chamber 120 can enter the second pump body 102 through the input end of the second pump body 102, and then be output from the output end of the second pump body 102 and flow out through the second liquid outlet 150 on the liquid storage tank 100 to the outside of the liquid storage tank 100, thereby entering the cleaning tray 240 in the base station body 200, so as to deodorize and clean the wiping and mopping parts 22 of the cleaning tray 240.

[0111] The first liquid outlet 140 and the second liquid outlet 150 can be located on the outer surface of the liquid storage tank 100 to facilitate docking with the interfaces on the base station body 200 (such as the first interface 210 and the second interface 220 mentioned below), which can improve the accuracy of docking between the liquid storage tank 100 and the base station body 200.

[0112] The first outlet 140 and the second outlet 150 provide pathways for the output of cleaning and deodorizing liquids, facilitating their delivery to the cleaning tray 240 on the base station body 200. Furthermore, the first outlet 140 and the second outlet 150 can easily connect with the cleaning tray 240 on the base station body 200, improving the accuracy of the connection between the liquid storage tank 100 and the base station body 200.

[0113] Referring again to Figure 5, the base station body 200 may have a first interface 210 and a second interface 220. One end of the first interface 210 can be connected to the first outlet 140 on the liquid storage tank 100, and the other end of the first interface 210 can be connected to the cleaning tray 240. The cleaning fluid can be sequentially delivered to the cleaning tray 240 through the first outlet 140 and the first interface 210 under the action of the first pump body 101.

[0114] For example, the first interface 210 can be located on the outer surface of the base station body 200 that contacts the liquid storage tank 100. When the liquid storage tank 100 is installed on the base station body 200, the first interface 210 and the first liquid outlet 140 can be connected to each other so that the cleaning liquid flowing out of the liquid storage tank 100 can enter the base station body 200 through the first interface 210 and then flow into the cleaning tray 240 on the base station body 200.

[0115] The first interface 210 facilitates the connection between the cleaning tray 240 and the first liquid storage chamber 110. Its connection is accurate, convenient, and quick, effectively improving the reliability and stability of the connection between the cleaning tray 240 and the first liquid storage chamber 110. It also improves the accuracy of the connection between the cleaning tray 240 and the first liquid storage chamber 110.

[0116] Correspondingly, one end of the second interface 220 can be connected to the second outlet 150 on the liquid storage tank 100, and the other end of the second interface 220 can be connected to the cleaning tray 240. The deodorizing liquid can be delivered to the cleaning tray 240 sequentially through the second outlet 150 and the second interface 220 under the action of the second pump body 102.

[0117] For example, the second interface 220 can be located on the outer surface of the base station body 200 that contacts the liquid storage tank 100. When the liquid storage tank 100 is installed on the base station body 200, the second interface 220 and the second liquid outlet 150 can be connected to each other so that the deodorizing liquid flowing out of the liquid storage tank 100 can enter the base station body 200 through the second interface 220 and then flow into the cleaning plate 240 on the base station body 200.

[0118] The second interface 220 facilitates communication between the cleaning tray 240 and the second liquid storage chamber 120. Its connection is accurate, convenient, and quick, effectively improving the reliability and stability of the communication between the cleaning tray 240 and the second liquid storage chamber 120. It also enhances the accuracy of the connection between the cleaning tray 240 and the second liquid storage chamber 120.

[0119] Referring again to Figure 5, the cleaning base station 10 may further include a first valve body 201, which may be located within the base station body 200. For example, the first valve body 201 may be a multi-way valve, having at least three input terminals and one output terminal. The first interface 210 and the second interface 220 may be connected to two of the input terminals of the first valve body 201, respectively, and the output terminal of the first valve body 201 may be connected to the cleaning tray 240.

[0120] The first interface 210 and the second interface 220 can be connected to the cleaning tray 240 via the first valve body 201, allowing the cleaning fluid and deodorizing fluid to flow into the cleaning tray 240 through the guiding action within the first valve body 201 after entering the first interface 210 and the second interface 220. The first valve body 201 provides a guiding action for the input of the cleaning fluid and deodorizing fluid, enabling them to flow along a preset route within the cleaning station 10, effectively improving the accuracy of the flow of the cleaning fluid and deodorizing fluid.

[0121] Moreover, the first valve body 201 can integrate the control of multiple fluid channels such as cleaning liquid, deodorizing liquid and cleaning plate 240, which can reduce the number of valves in the cleaning base station 10 and effectively simplify the design and installation of the internal circulation system in the cleaning base station 10.

[0122] In addition, the first valve body 201 can replace multiple individual valves, which can effectively save installation space and facilitate the clean spatial layout within the base station 10.

[0123] Referring again to Figure 5, another input end of the first valve body 201 can also be connected to a clean water source 202, allowing clean water from the clean water source 202 to be conveyed to the cleaning tray 240 via the first valve body 201. For example, another input end of the first valve body 201 can be connected to a clean water tank, allowing clean water from the tank to be conveyed to the cleaning tray 240 via the first valve body 201. For example, during the process of conveying cleaning liquid or deodorizing liquid to the cleaning tray 240, clean water from the clean water source 202 can also be conveyed to the cleaning tray 240.

[0124] Figure 8 is a connection diagram of another cleaning system provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0125] In another possible implementation, as shown in Figure 8, the storage tank 100 may have a third outlet 160. One end of the third outlet 160 may be connected to the output ends of the first pump body 101 and the second pump body 102, and the other end may be connected to the cleaning tray 240. Cleaning liquid and deodorizing liquid can be delivered to the cleaning tray 240 through the third outlet 160.

[0126] That is, both the cleaning solution and the deodorizing solution can be discharged to the storage tank 100 through the third outlet 160. For example, the cleaning solution and the deodorizing solution can be sequentially discharged through the third outlet 160 and delivered to the cleaning tray 240. Alternatively, the cleaning solution and the deodorizing solution can be simultaneously discharged to the third outlet 160 and then delivered together to the cleaning tray 240.

[0127] The third outlet 160 provides a path for the output of cleaning and deodorizing liquids, facilitating their delivery to the cleaning tray 240 on the base station body 200. Furthermore, the third outlet 160 allows for easy docking with the cleaning tray 240 on the base station body 200, improving the accuracy of the docking between the liquid storage tank 100 and the base station body 200.

[0128] Referring again to Figure 8, the base station body 200 may also have a third interface 230. One end of the third interface 230 can be connected to the third liquid outlet 160, and the other end can be connected to the cleaning tray 240. The cleaning liquid and deodorizing liquid can be delivered to the cleaning tray 240 through the third liquid outlet 160 and the third interface 230 respectively under the action of the first pump body 101 and the second pump body 102.

[0129] The third interface 230 facilitates communication between the cleaning tray 240 and the first liquid storage chamber 110 and the second liquid storage chamber 120. Its connection is accurate, convenient, and quick, effectively improving the reliability and stability of the communication between the cleaning tray 240 and the first and second liquid storage chambers 110 and 120. Furthermore, it enhances the accuracy of the connection between the cleaning tray 240 and the first and second liquid storage chambers 110 and 120.

[0130] By setting a third liquid outlet 160 and a third interface 230, the number of liquid outlets and interfaces can be reduced, which can further improve space utilization.

[0131] Referring again to Figure 8, the liquid storage tank 100 may further include a second valve body 103, which may be located within the power chamber 130. The input end of the second valve body 103 may be connected to the output ends of the first pump body 101 and the second pump body 102, respectively, and the output end of the second valve body 103 may be connected to the third outlet 160. For example, the second valve body 103 may also be a multi-way valve, having two input ends and one output end. The output ends of the first pump body 101 and the second pump body 102 may be connected to the two input ends of the second valve body 103, respectively, and the output end of the second valve body 103 may be connected to the third outlet 160 on the liquid storage tank 100.

[0132] In other words, it can be understood that both the cleaning solution and the deodorizing solution are output from the storage tank 100 through one output terminal of the second valve body 103. For example, the cleaning solution and the deodorizing solution can flow out from the output terminal of the second valve body 103 separately, or the cleaning solution and the deodorizing solution can also converge at the second valve body 103 at the same time and be discharged together from the output terminal of the second valve body 103 to the outside of the storage tank 100, so as to enter the cleaning tray 240 inside the base station body 200.

[0133] The first pump body 101 and the second pump body 102 can be connected to the third outlet 160 via a second valve body 103. This allows the cleaning liquid and deodorizing liquid to flow out of the third outlet 160 after entering the first pump body 101 and the second pump body 102, guided by the second valve body 103. The second valve body 103 provides guidance for the input of the cleaning liquid and deodorizing liquid, allowing them to flow along a preset route within the storage tank 100, effectively improving the accuracy of the flow.

[0134] Furthermore, the second valve body 103 can integrate the control of multiple fluid channels such as cleaning liquid and deodorizing liquid, which can reduce the number of valves in the liquid storage tank 100 and effectively simplify the design and installation of the internal circulation system in the liquid storage tank 100.

[0135] In addition, the second valve body 103 can replace multiple individual valves, which can effectively save installation space and is beneficial to the spatial layout within the liquid storage tank 100.

[0136] Referring again to Figure 8, the base station body 200 may further include a third valve body 203. One input terminal of the third valve body 203 can be connected to the output terminal of the third interface 230, and the output terminal of the third valve body 203 can be connected to the cleaning tray 240. After the cleaning fluid and deodorizing fluid enter the base station body 200 through the third interface 230, they can enter the third valve body 203 and be transported to the cleaning tray 240 through the third valve body 203.

[0137] The third valve body 203 can provide a guiding path for the flow of cleaning fluid and deodorizing fluid within the base station body 200, effectively improving the accuracy of the delivery of cleaning fluid and deodorizing fluid.

[0138] Referring again to Figure 8, another input end of the third valve body 203 can also be connected to a clean water source 202, allowing clean water from the clean water source 202 to be delivered to the cleaning tray 240 via the third valve body 203. For example, another input end of the third valve body 203 can be connected to a clean water tank, allowing clean water from the tank to be delivered to the cleaning tray 240 via the third valve body 203. The clean water can dissolve the cleaning and deodorizing liquids, ensuring they come into full contact with the mop attachment 22 to break down stains and effectively improve the cleaning effect of the cleaning and deodorizing liquids.

[0139] In other embodiments, at least one of the output ends of the first pump body 101 and the second pump body 102 may be connected to the water tank of the cleaning equipment to deliver deodorizing liquid and / or cleaning liquid to the water tank of the cleaning equipment. The specific structure for delivering the deodorizing liquid and / or cleaning liquid to the water tank of the cleaning equipment can refer to the structure described above for delivering to the cleaning tray 240, and will not be repeated here.

[0140] For example, when deodorizing and cleaning areas with unpleasant odors, deodorizing liquid, or a combination of deodorizing and cleaning liquid, can be delivered to the water tank of the cleaning equipment. The deodorizing liquid, or the combination of deodorizing and cleaning liquid in the tank, can then be used to deodorize and clean the odorous areas. The cleaning liquid and deodorizing liquid can be contained in one chamber or in two separate chambers within the cleaning equipment. Since the deodorizing liquid is used only in limited cases, containing it in separate chambers avoids applying it to non-odorous areas, ensuring its effective use.

[0141] Referring to Figures 5 to 8, the liquid storage tank 100 may have a first metal contact 170 and a second metal contact 180. The first metal contact 170 can be electrically connected to the first pump body 101, and the second metal contact 180 can be electrically connected to the second pump body 102. The first metal contact 170 may include two electrode interfaces, namely a positive electrode interface and a negative electrode interface; similarly, the second metal contact 180 also includes two electrode interfaces, namely a positive electrode interface and a negative electrode interface.

[0142] The cleaning base station 10 can supply power to the first pump body 101 and the second pump body 102 through the first metal contact 170 and the second metal contact 180 respectively, so that the first pump body 101 and the second pump body 102 can work normally.

[0143] For example, the first metal contact 170 and the second metal contact 180 can be electrically connected to a power source. The base station body 200 can have a third metal contact electrically connected to the first metal contact 170 and a fourth metal contact electrically connected to the second metal contact 180, respectively.

[0144] Power can be transmitted to the first pump body 101 through the interaction between the first metal contact 170 and the third metal contact to power the first pump body 101. Power can also be transmitted to the second pump body 102 through the interaction between the second metal contact 180 and the fourth metal contact to power the second pump body 102.

[0145] Alternatively, only a first metal contact 170 or a second metal contact 180 can be provided on the liquid storage tank 100. The first metal contact 170 is used to connect to the first liquid storage chamber 110 and the second liquid storage chamber 120, or vice versa. If the first metal contact 170 or the second metal contact 180 is a diode, the positive and negative terminals conduct in opposite directions, thereby controlling the two pumps by switching the current flow direction of the contacts and controlling the operation of the two pumps, further saving space.

[0146] When cleaning with rags or floors, deodorizing liquid may be needed simultaneously with cleaning liquid. Therefore, if one pump corresponds to two reservoirs, or if the first metal contact 170 or the second metal contact 180 connects to two pumps, it becomes necessary to frequently switch the pump inlet (one pump to two reservoirs) or switch the current flow direction of the contacts (one contact to two pumps) during that time period. Frequent switching increases the probability of equipment damage and also increases control complexity. In the embodiments described in this specification, by using two pumps and configuring separate metal contacts for each pump, control complexity and the probability of equipment damage can be further reduced.

[0147] Based on the above structural embodiments, this specification provides a cleaning method applied to a cleaning base station 10, the method comprising:

[0148] When determining to perform odor stain cleaning on the mop and wiping component of the cleaning equipment 20, the following odor stain cleaning scheme is executed: the first pump body 101 is controlled to deliver cleaning liquid to the mop and wiping component 22 to clean the mop and wiping component 22, and the second pump body 102 is controlled to deliver deodorizing liquid to the mop and wiping component 22 to clean the mop and wiping component 22.

[0149] For example, after the cleaning device 20 identifies an odor-prone stain area that needs cleaning, the cleaning device 20 can proceed to that odor-prone stain area to perform cleaning. After determining that a single cleaning of the odor-prone stain area is complete, the cleaning device 20 can proceed to the cleaning base station 10 while keeping the mop 22 in the raised position. The cleaning device 20 can send a cleaning mode to the cleaning base station 10. For example, after performing cleaning including the odor-prone stain area, the cleaning device 20 can send a mode to the cleaning base station 10 to perform odor-prone stain cleaning; after performing cleaning excluding the odor-prone stain area, the cleaning device 20 can send a mode to the cleaning base station 10 to perform non-odor-prone stain cleaning. The odor-prone stain cleaning mode includes a step of cleaning the mop 22 with deodorizing liquid, while the non-odor-prone stain cleaning mode does not include a step of cleaning the mop 22 with deodorizing liquid.

[0150] After cleaning the odor-prone stain areas, the odor stains on the cleaning equipment are transferred to the mop. Using deodorizing liquid to clean the mop can further remove the odor from the mop and prevent the odor from contaminating the work area when the mop continues to clean, thus affecting the user experience.

[0151] In some embodiments, the odor stain cleaning includes: controlling a first pump body 101 to deliver cleaning liquid to the mop and wiping component 22 to clean the mop and wiping component 22 for a first time period; controlling a second pump body 102 to deliver deodorizing liquid to the mop and wiping component 22 to clean the mop and wiping component 22 for a second time period; wherein the first time period and the second time period do not overlap.

[0152] For example, you can first use a cleaning solution to remove stains from the mop, and then use a deodorizing solution to deodorize it. Alternatively, you can use a cleaning solution to clean the mop for a duration T1, then use a deodorizing solution for a duration T2, then use a cleaning solution for a duration T3, then use a deodorizing solution for a duration T4, and so on, until the preset time for removing odors and stains is reached. Performing the cleaning and deodorizing processes separately avoids reactions between the cleaning and deodorizing solutions, which could affect the cleaning effect; it also avoids affecting the accuracy of detecting the degree of dirt on the mop, ensuring accurate control over repeated mopping and washing.

[0153] Of course, in other embodiments, the first time period and the second time period may overlap, that is, the stain removal cleaning and the deodorization cleaning may overlap in time.

[0154] In some embodiments, the method further includes: after determining that the odor stain cleaning has been completed, controlling the second pump body 102 to deliver the deodorizing liquid to the mopping component 22 again, so that the cleaning device 20 travels to the odor stain area and performs deodorizing cleaning on the odor stain area.

[0155] During the process of controlling the second pump body 102 to deliver the deodorizing liquid to the mopping component 22 again, the deodorizing liquid can be delivered to the mopping component 22 only, or the first pump body 101 can be controlled to deliver the cleaning liquid to the mopping component 22 again at the same time, so that the mopping component carries the cleaning liquid and the deodorizing liquid to deodorize and clean the odor stain area.

[0156] In some embodiments, the method further includes: after determining that the odor stain cleaning has been completed, controlling the second pump body 102 to deliver the deodorizing liquid to the mopping component 22 again, so that the cleaning device 20 travels to the odor stain area while keeping the mopping component 22 in the raised position, and performs deodorizing cleaning on the odor stain area while keeping the mopping component 22 in the mopping position. Non-odor stain areas usually do not require deodorizing cleaning, and since the deodorizing liquid is applied to the mopping component 22, if the mopping component 22 is kept in the mopping position while traveling to the odor stain area, the deodorizing liquid will be wasted along the way. When the cleaning device 20 travels to the odor stain area, there may be almost no deodorizing liquid or very little deodorizing liquid on the mopping component 22, affecting the deodorizing effect.

[0157] For example, the cleaning method for wiping and mopping components provided in the embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0158] Figure 9 is a flowchart illustrating a cleaning method for wiping and mopping parts provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0159] This application embodiment also provides a cleaning method for a mop, which can control a cleaning base station in any of the above scenarios to deodorize and clean odorous stains on the surface to be cleaned. Referring to Figure 9, the method may include:

[0160] S101: Control the cleaning equipment to move to the odor stain area and clean the odor stains in the odor stain area.

[0161] S102: Control the cleaning equipment to dock at the cleaning base station.

[0162] S103: Control the first pump to deliver cleaning fluid to the mopping parts to clean and remove dirt from them.

[0163] S104: Control the second pump to deliver deodorizing liquid to the mopping parts for deodorizing and cleaning.

[0164] S105: Control the second pump to deliver deodorizing liquid to the mopping parts again.

[0165] S106: Control the cleaning equipment to travel to the odor-stained area and deodorize and clean the odor-stained area.

[0166] In step S101, when there are odorous stains on the surface to be cleaned, i.e., an odorous stain area is formed, the cleaning device 20 can move to the odorous stain area to clean it. At this time, after cleaning the odorous stain area, although the stains in the odorous stain area can be largely removed, an odor will still remain. At the same time, the odorous stains on the odorous stain area will also adhere to the mop 22.

[0167] After completing the initial cleaning of the odor stains in step S101, step S102 can control the cleaning equipment 20 to move to and stop on the cleaning base station 10 so as to clean the wiping and mopping parts 22 in the cleaning equipment 20.

[0168] In step S103, the cleaning base station 10 can activate the first pump 101 to deliver cleaning fluid to the cleaning tray 240 to clean the odor stains on the mop 22. After cleaning with the cleaning fluid, the odor stains on the mop 22 can be largely removed, but a residual odor will remain. During the process of delivering the cleaning fluid to the mop 22, clean water can also be delivered to the mop 22 simultaneously.

[0169] In step S104, the deodorizing liquid is delivered to the cleaning tray 240 via the second pump 102, which deodorizes and cleans the mop and wiping parts 22 to remove residual odors. During this process, clean water can also be supplied to the mop and wiping parts 22 simultaneously.

[0170] After the deodorizing cleaning of the mop 22 is completed in step S104, deodorizing liquid can be supplied to the mop 22 again in step S105 so that the deodorizing liquid can adhere to the mop 22. During this process, water can be avoided from being supplied to the mop 22 to prevent the water from rinsing the deodorizing liquid off the mop 22, thereby affecting the deodorizing effect on the odor-stained areas.

[0171] After the deodorizing liquid is applied to the mop 22 in step S105, the cleaning device 20 can be controlled to move to the odor stain area in step S106. At this time, the mop 22 with the deodorizing liquid can clean the odor stain area again to remove the residual odor, thereby achieving deodorization and cleaning of the odor stain area.

[0172] Figure 10 is a flowchart illustrating another cleaning method for wiping and mopping parts provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0173] In another possible implementation, embodiments of this application also provide a cleaning method for a mop, which may include:

[0174] S201: Control the cleaning equipment to move to the odor stain area and clean the odor stains in the odor stain area;

[0175] S202: Control the cleaning equipment to dock at the cleaning base station;

[0176] S203: Control the first pump body and the second pump body to simultaneously deliver cleaning liquid and deodorizing liquid to the mop and wiper parts to clean and deodorize the mop and wiper parts.

[0177] S204: Control the first and second pumps to deliver cleaning and deodorizing liquids to the mopping components again;

[0178] S205: Control the cleaning equipment to travel to the odor-stained area and perform stain removal and deodorization cleaning on the odor-stained area.

[0179] In this control method, in step S201, when there are odorous stains on the surface to be cleaned, i.e., an odorous stain area is formed, the cleaning device 20 can move to the odorous stain area to clean it. At this time, after cleaning the odorous stain area, the odorous stains in the odorous stain area can be largely removed, but some stains and odors will still remain. The odorous stains on the odorous stain area will adhere to the mop 22.

[0180] After the initial cleaning of the odor stains is completed in step S201, step S202 can control the cleaning equipment 20 to move to and stop on the cleaning base station 10 so as to clean the wiping and mopping parts 22 in the cleaning equipment 20.

[0181] In step S203, the cleaning base station 10 can simultaneously activate the first pump 101 and the second pump 102 to simultaneously deliver cleaning liquid and deodorizing liquid to the mopping component 22. For example, the cleaning liquid and deodorizing liquid can be collected, mixed, and then delivered to the mopping component 22 to clean and deodorize odorous stains on the mopping component 22 to remove residual odors.

[0182] During this process, clean water can be supplied to the mop 22 simultaneously, so that the clean water can dissolve the cleaning liquid and deodorizing liquid, thereby increasing the activity of the cleaning liquid and deodorizing liquid and increasing the contact area between the cleaning liquid and deodorizing liquid and the mop 22, thus improving the cleaning and deodorizing effect of the mop 22.

[0183] After cleaning and deodorizing the mop and wiping component 22 in step S203, cleaning and deodorizing liquid can be applied to the mop and wiping component 22 again in step S204 so that the cleaning and deodorizing liquid can adhere to the mop and wiping component 22.

[0184] After the deodorizing liquid is applied to the mop 22 in step S204, the cleaning device 20 can be controlled to move to the odor stain area in step S205. At this time, the mop 22 with cleaning liquid and deodorizing liquid can clean the odor stain area again to remove residual stains and odors, thereby achieving cleaning and deodorizing of the odor stain area.
