[0001] Cross-reference to related applications

[0002] The present disclosure claims priority to a Chinese patent application filed on January 24, 2025, with the Chinese National Intellectual Property Office, application number 202510121963.5, and entitled "Cleaning device, cleaning system, self-cleaning control method, computer program product and computer storage medium", the content of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. TECHNICAL FIELD

[0003] The present application belongs to the technical field of electrical appliances, and in particular relates to a cleaning device, a cleaning system, a self-cleaning control method, a computer program product and a computer storage medium. BACKGROUND

[0004] With the development of society, cleaning devices are increasingly widely used in daily life. A cleaning device can clean the surface of an object to be cleaned by a cleaning component. During the operation of the cleaning device, or after the operation of the cleaning device, the cleaning component of the cleaning device needs to be cleaned and maintained. The maintenance of the cleaning device itself becomes a burden to the user, and research into the self-cleaning and maintenance of the cleaning device has become a trend.

[0005] The current self-cleaning technology of the cleaning device mainly uses water to continuously flush and clean the cleaning component. However, this cleaning method is limited by the availability of water, and the cleaning effect is poor.

[0006] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the above background section is only used to strengthen the understanding of the background of the present disclosure, and therefore can include information that does not constitute prior art known to those of ordinary skill in the art.

[0093] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this disclosure 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 disclosure, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this disclosure.

[0094] It should be noted that all directional indications in this embodiment are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of the components in a specific posture. If the specific posture changes, the directional indications will also change accordingly.

[0095] In this disclosure, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "connection," "fixed," etc., should be interpreted broadly.

[0097] With the development of society, cleaning equipment is being used more and more widely in daily life. Cleaning equipment can clean the surface of the object to be cleaned through cleaning components. During or after the cleaning equipment is working, the cleaning components of the cleaning equipment need to be cleaned and maintained. The maintenance of the cleaning equipment itself has become a burden for users, and research on the self-cleaning and maintenance of cleaning equipment has become a trend.

[0098] Current self-cleaning technologies for cleaning equipment primarily rely on water to continuously rinse and clean the cleaning components. However, this method is limited by water availability. For water tank-type sweepers and scrubbers, relying solely on water for self-cleaning leads to frequent water refills and emptyings, increasing the burden on users. This application provides a cleaning device, cleaning system, self-cleaning control method, computer program product, and computer storage medium that improves upon these issues. The cleaning device, cleaning system, self-cleaning control method, computer program product, and computer storage medium provided by this application can reduce water consumption and self-cleaning time during the self-cleaning process, thereby improving cleaning effectiveness.

[0099] This application is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0100] Figure 1 shows a structural schematic diagram of the cleaning equipment 100 provided in this application. Figure 2 shows a block diagram of the cleaning equipment 100 provided in this application. Figure 3 shows a structural schematic diagram of the conveying system 130 of the cleaning equipment 100 provided in an embodiment of this application. Referring to Figures 1, 2, and 3, this embodiment of the application provides a cleaning equipment 100, which can be a floor scrubber or a sweeper, etc. The cleaning equipment 100 provided in this embodiment can reduce the water consumption during the self-cleaning process, reduce the self-cleaning time, and improve the cleaning effect.

[0101] The cleaning device 100 includes: a main body 110, a cleaning component 120, a water pump assembly 132, a heater 133, and an output channel 134. The cleaning component 120 is installed on the main body 110; the water pump assembly 132 is connected to the heater 133, and the output channel 134 is connected to the heater 133.

[0102] The main body 110 is the basic component of the entire cleaning equipment 100, providing a base for the cleaning component 120, water pump assembly 132, heater 133, and output channel 134, enabling the cleaning equipment 100 to function as a single, integrated unit. The cleaning component 120 is a part of the cleaning equipment 100 used to clean the object to be cleaned, and may include structures such as a roller brush and a mop.

[0103] The water pump assembly 132 is connected to the heater 133, which is connected to the output channel 134. The water pump assembly 132 allows the cleaning medium to flow within the output channel 134, delivering the cleaning medium to the cleaning component 120, enabling the cleaning equipment 100 to clean the object to be cleaned or to self-clean. The heater 133 can heat the cleaning medium to different states; for example, it can heat the cleaning medium to different temperatures according to different cleaning modes, or it can heat it to a vapor state.

[0104] The cleaning medium can be water, liquid cleaning agent, or a mixture of cleaning agent and water. The output channel 134 can provide flow space for liquid or gaseous media, that is, the output channel 134 can supply the flow of liquids such as water and liquid cleaning agents, or it can supply the flow of steam.

[0105] In some embodiments, the cleaning device 100 may further include a clean water tank 135 and an input channel 131. The clean water tank 135 can contain cleaning media (e.g., water) and is connected to the input channel 131. A water pump assembly 132 can be mounted on the input channel 131 and connected to an output channel 134. The clean water tank 135, the water pump assembly 132, the heater 133, the input channel 131, and the output channel 134 constitute a delivery system 130. In addition, the water outlet system may include other structures. For example, the cleaning device 100 may also include a cleaning liquid tank 139. If the cleaning liquid tank 139 is included, then the cleaning liquid tank 139, the water pump assembly 132, the heater 133, the input channel 131, and the output channel 134 constitute a delivery system 130, through which cleaning media can be delivered to the cleaning component 120.

[0106] The cleaning equipment 100 also includes a wastewater tank 142, a blower assembly 144, and a return water channel 146. The wastewater tank 142, the blower assembly 144, and the return water channel 146 are connected to form a return water system 140. During the cleaning process of the cleaning equipment 100, water or steam will flow to the cleaning component 120. In order to avoid secondary pollution of the wastewater to the wastewater, the blower assembly 144 is activated to form a negative pressure in the return water channel 146. This allows the wastewater generated during the cleaning process to be drawn into the return water channel 146 and collected in the wastewater tank 142, thereby reducing the secondary pollution of the wastewater to the wastewater.

[0107] During the operation of the cleaning equipment 100, the water circulation of the entire cleaning equipment 100 is as follows: the water pump assembly 132 can transport the cleaning medium from the clean water tank 135 to the cleaning component 120 through the output channel 134 (it can be heated by the heater 133, or it can be without the heater 133). The blower assembly 144 starts to create negative pressure in the return water channel 146, so that the sewage can be drawn into the return water channel 146 under the action of negative pressure and collected in the sewage tank 142.

[0108] When the cleaning equipment 100 performs the target cleaning mode, the heater 133 is used to heat the cleaning medium delivered to the heater 133, and the water pump assembly 132 is used to deliver the cleaning medium to the heater 133 and send the heated cleaning medium to the cleaning component 120 through the output channel 134 to clean the cleaning component 120.

[0109] Hot liquids dissolve stains better than room temperature liquids, thus improving cleaning effectiveness. Since both the heater 133 and the roller brush are located on the main body 110 of the cleaning device 100, the heater 133 is closer to the roller brush than if it were located at the cleaning station. This allows for a shorter path for the cleaning component 120 connecting the heater 133 and the roller brush, reducing the time it takes for the heated cleaning medium to reach the cleaning component 120. Using the heated cleaning medium to clean the object or component 120 further improves cleaning efficiency. Because the heated cleaning medium dissolves or carries away stains more effectively, less water is needed for the same level of soiling on the object or component 120, reducing water consumption during cleaning or self-cleaning processes.

[0110] The target cleaning modes can include ambient temperature cleaning mode, hot liquid cleaning mode, hot liquid self-cleaning mode, steam cleaning mode, and steam self-cleaning mode. Ambient temperature cleaning mode refers to cleaning the object to be cleaned using a medium at ambient temperature. Hot liquid cleaning mode refers to the heater 133 heating the cleaning medium, which then cleans the object. Hot liquid self-cleaning mode refers to the heater 133 heating the cleaning medium, which then self-cleans (cleaning component 120). Steam cleaning mode refers to the heater 133 heating the cleaning medium into steam, which then cleans the object. Steam self-cleaning mode refers to the heater 133 heating the cleaning medium into steam, which then self-clean (cleaning component 120).

[0111] Both the hot liquid cleaning mode and the hot liquid self-cleaning mode use hot liquid for cleaning. Hot liquid dissolves stains better than room temperature liquid, thus improving the cleaning effect. The steam cleaning mode and the steam self-cleaning mode can also sterilize while self-cleaning. In some embodiments, the output channel 134 includes a first channel 1341 and a second channel 1342. The first channel 1341 and the second channel 1342 can be connected to the clean water tank 135 through the input channel 131. The first channel 1341 and the second channel 1342 can both be connected to the heater 133. The water pump assembly 132 can include a first water pump 1322 and a second water pump 1324. The first water pump 1322 acts on the first channel 1341, and the second water pump 1324 acts on the second channel 1342, so that the first channel 1341 and the second channel 1342 can work independently.

[0112] It should be noted that the input channel 131 and the output channel 134 are the input and output relative to the heater 133. The input channel 131 can deliver the cleaning medium into the heater 133, and the output channel 134 can output the heat medium heated by the heater 133.

[0113] The first channel 1341 is equipped with a water outlet strip 1361. Liquid cleaning medium can flow through the water outlet strip 1361 to the cleaning component 120 (roller brush). The liquid cleaning medium can be sprayed onto different positions of the roller brush through the water outlet strip 1361, thereby cleaning different positions of the roller brush or cleaning the object to be cleaned through the roller brush.

[0114] When the cleaning device 100 performs a hot liquid self-cleaning mode, the heater 133 is used to heat the cleaning medium into a hot liquid, and the first water pump 1322 is used to deliver the cleaning medium to the heater 133 and deliver the hot liquid to the cleaning component 120 through the first channel 1341 to clean the roller brush.

[0115] When the cleaning equipment 100 operates in hot liquid self-cleaning mode, the first water pump 1322 starts, allowing water to flow to the heater 133. After being heated by the heater 133, the water becomes hot liquid. The hot liquid then flows from the first channel 1341 to the water outlet bar 1361, and is sprayed onto the roller brush through the water outlet bar 1361. The temperature of the hot liquid can be set according to the cleaning requirements and is not specifically limited.

[0116] The first water pump 1322 has a water output of 150ml / min to 250ml / min, and the heater 133 has a power of 200W to 300W. Since the cleaning roller brush using hot liquid requires a relatively large water output, the water output of the first water pump 1322 can be set relatively high. Because of the large water output, the power of the heater 133 is also set relatively high to heat the cleaning medium to the set temperature.

[0117] Specifically, the water output of the first water pump 1322 can be 150ml / min, 160ml / min, 180ml / min, 200ml / min, 210ml / min, 250ml / min, etc., and the power of the heater 133 can be 200W, 220W, 240W, 260W, 280W, 300W, etc.

[0118] When the cleaning equipment 100 is in steam self-cleaning mode, the heater 133 is used to heat the cleaning medium into steam, and the second water pump 1324 is used to deliver the cleaning medium to the heater 133 and deliver the steam to the cleaning component 120 through the second channel 1342.

[0119] The second channel 1342 is provided with a steam outlet 1362. The cleaning medium, which is heated into steam by the heater 133, can be sprayed onto the surface of the object to be cleaned or onto the surface of the roller brush through the steam nozzle of the second channel 1342 under the action of the second water pump 1324. The high temperature steam can quickly dissolve the stains on the surface of the object to be cleaned or the surface of the roller brush, and can also play a bactericidal role.

[0120] The heater 133 has a power of 100W to 200W, and the second water pump 1324 has a water output of 100ml / min to 280ml / min. Since the amount of water required to heat into steam is relatively small, the water output of the second water pump 1324 can be set to a smaller value. Although heating the same amount of water into steam requires more heat than heating water into steam, the smaller water volume results in a smaller total heat required, allowing the power of the heater 133, which heats the cleaning medium into steam, to be set relatively low.

[0121] Specifically, the power of heater 133 can be 100W, 120W, 140W, 160W, 180W, 200W, etc. The water output of the second water pump 1324 can be 100ml / min, 110ml / min, 120ml / min, 140ml / min, 160ml / min, 180ml / min, etc.

[0122] In some embodiments, the output channel 134 further includes a third channel 1343, and the cleaning device 100 further includes a first control valve 1371, which is connected to the first channel 1341, the second channel 1342 and the third channel 1343, and the heater 133 is connected to the third channel 1343.

[0123] The heater 133 can be disposed on either the first channel 1341 or the second channel 1342. Similarly, the first control valve 1371 can also be disposed on either the first channel 1341 or the second channel 1342, ensuring that the heater 133 and the first control valve 1371 are located in the same channel. If the heater 133 and the first control valve 1371 are disposed in different channels, then two control valves are required, one in the first channel 1341 and the other in the second channel 1342. In some embodiments, the third channel 1343 can be connected to both the first channel 1341 and the second channel 1342 via a first connector 1381.

[0124] It should be noted that in some other embodiments, the output channel 134 may not include the third channel 1343, and the first channel 1341 and the second channel 1342 may be directly connected to the heater 133. In this case, two control valves need to be set, one in the first channel 1341 and the other in the second channel 1342, so that the cleaning medium heated by the heater 133 flows to the cleaning component 120 only from one of the first channel 1341 and the second channel 1342. Alternatively, it may include only the first channel 1341 or only the second channel 1342. When the output channel 134 includes only the first channel 1341, it is considered that the cleaning device 100 can only perform the normal temperature cleaning mode, the hot liquid cleaning mode, and the hot liquid self-cleaning mode. When the output channel 134 includes only the second channel 1342, it is considered that the cleaning device 100 can only perform the steam cleaning mode and the steam self-cleaning mode.

[0125] When the cleaning equipment 100 is in hot liquid self-cleaning mode, the first control valve 1371 connects the third channel 1343 and the first channel 1341, allowing hot liquid to be delivered to the cleaning component 120 through the third channel 1343 and the first channel 1341 to clean the roller brush. When the cleaning equipment 100 is in steam self-cleaning mode, the first control valve 1371 connects the third channel 1343 and the second channel 1342, allowing steam to be delivered to the roller brush through the third channel 1343 and the second channel 1342.

[0126] The first channel 1341 and the second channel 1342 can share a heater 133 through the third channel 1343. In different cleaning modes, the heater 133 needs to be connected to different channels to achieve different cleaning modes. The first control valve 1371 can be used to switch the heater 133 to be connected to the first channel 1341 or the second channel 1342 through the third channel 1343.

[0127] In some embodiments, the output channel 134 further includes a fourth channel 1346, to which a fourth water pump is connected. The fourth channel 1346 is not connected to the heater 133, so that the cleaning medium that is not heated by the heater 133 is delivered through the fourth channel 1346 to the water outlet bar 1361 and sprayed onto the cleaning component 120 through the water outlet bar 1361.

[0128] In other embodiments, to simplify the water path and make the overall delivery system structure simple, the fourth channel 1346 can be connected to the first channel 1341 and the first water pump 1322. Water that has not been heated by the heater 133 can flow through the fourth channel 1346 and the first channel 1341 to the water outlet bar 1361, and then be sprayed onto the cleaning component 120 through the water outlet bar 1361. For ease of description, the water path of the steam self-cleaning mode will be described below with the fourth channel 1346 connected to the first channel 1341 as an example. When the fourth channel 1346 is not connected to the first channel 1341, the water path of the steam self-cleaning mode can be deduced by analogy.

[0129] When the cleaning equipment 100 is in steam self-cleaning mode, the heater 133 is used to heat the cleaning medium to steam, the second water pump 1324 is used to deliver the cleaning medium to the heater 133 and deliver the steam to the roller brush through the second channel 1342, and the first water pump 1322 is used to deliver the cleaning medium to the cleaning component 120 through the fourth channel 1346 and the first channel 1341 or to deliver hot liquid to the roller brush.

[0130] Specifically, the fourth channel 1346 can be connected to the first channel 1342 through the first connector 1381 (T-connector).

[0131] Steam can only sterilize and dissolve stains on the outer surface of the roller brush. In order to make the stains fall off the roller brush quickly, the first water pump 1322 can be turned on at the same time when the steam self-cleaning mode is executed, so that the cleaning medium flows directly to the water outlet bar 1361 without being heated by the heater 133. That is, in the steam self-cleaning mode, the steam dissolves the stains on the surface of the roller brush, and the room temperature liquid rinses the roller brush, which can improve the self-cleaning effect.

[0132] In other words, in steam self-cleaning mode, the first water pump 1322 can be turned on or off, depending on the degree of dirt on the roller brush or the stage of self-cleaning.

[0133] For example, the steam self-cleaning mode includes a cleaning stage and a sterilization stage. During the cleaning stage, both the first water pump 1322 and the second water pump 1324 are turned on. The first channel 1341 is not connected to the heater 133. The cleaning medium at room temperature flows directly through the first channel 1341 to the water outlet 1361 and is sprayed onto the roller brush through the water outlet 1361. The heater 133 heats the cleaning medium into steam, and the steam is delivered to the steam outlet 1362 through the second channel 1342 and sprayed onto the outer surface of the roller brush through the steam outlet 1362.

[0134] During the sterilization stage, the first water pump 1322 is not turned on, but only the second water pump 1324 and the heater 133 are turned on. The heater 133 heats the cleaning medium into steam, and the steam is delivered to the steam outlet 1362 through the second channel 1342. The steam is sprayed onto the outer surface of the roller brush through the steam outlet 1362 to sterilize the outer surface of the roller brush.

[0135] Therefore, in the steam self-cleaning mode, the power of heater 133 is 100W to 200W, the water output of the second water pump 1324 is 100ml / min to 280ml / min, and the water output of the first water pump 1322 is 150ml / min to 250ml / min.

[0136] Since the first channel 1341 also needs to spray cleaning medium (unheated cleaning medium) onto the roller brush in the steam self-cleaning mode, a second control valve 1372 can be set to achieve the above function. The second control valve 1372 is connected to the water inlet of the heater 133, the water outlet of the first water pump 1322, and the fourth channel 1346 respectively.

[0137] In some embodiments, when the cleaning device 100 performs the target cleaning mode, the roller brush rotates. The roller brush can use centrifugal force to fling away dirt adhering to its surface, which can also improve the cleaning effect to some extent. The rotation speed of the roller brush is 300 r / min to 600 r / min. The relatively high rotation speed of the roller brush can increase the centrifugal force during the rotation process, thereby improving the cleaning effect. Specifically, the rotation speed of the roller brush can be 300 r / min, 350 r / min, 400 r / min, 450 r / min, 500 r / min, 550 r / min, etc.

[0138] In some embodiments, the fourth channel 1346, the first channel 1341, and the first water pump 1322 can be used to spray unheated cleaning medium onto the roller brush in steam self-cleaning mode. In other embodiments, a fifth channel and a fourth water pump can be provided separately. The fourth water pump is installed on the fifth channel, which is connected to a clean water tank. In steam self-cleaning mode, the fourth water pump is turned on and delivers unheated cleaning medium to the roller brush through the fifth channel, thereby cleaning the roller brush.

[0139] Regarding the specific connection positions of the second control valve, the input channel 131 includes a main channel 1312, a first sub-channel 1314, a second sub-channel 1315, and a third sub-channel 1316. The clean water tank 135 is connected to the main channel 1312, the main channel 1312 is connected to the first sub-channel 1314, the first sub-channel 1314, the third sub-channel 1316, and the fourth channel 1346 are all connected to the second control valve 1372, the third sub-channel 1316 is connected to the heater 133, and the second sub-channel 1315 is connected to the heater 133 and the main channel 1312.

[0140] Since the main channel 1312 is connected to both the first sub-channel 1314 and the second sub-channel 1315, the main channel 1312, the first sub-channel 1314, and the second sub-channel 1315 can be connected through the second connector 1382 (tee connector).

[0141] The input channel 131 also includes a fourth sub-channel 1317, the cleaning fluid tank 139 is connected to the fourth sub-channel 1317, and the fourth sub-channel 1317 can be connected to the first sub-channel 1314 through the third connector 1383.

[0142] In order to ensure that the entire output channel 134 can be kept stable within a certain pressure range, a pressure relief valve 1373 can be installed. The first channel 1341 and the second channel 1342 are both connected to the pressure relief valve 1373.

[0143] Figure 4 shows a schematic diagram of the water flow path when the cleaning device 100 executes the hot liquid self-cleaning mode. Referring to Figure 4, the water flow path in the hot liquid self-cleaning mode is as follows: the first water pump 1322 and the heater 133 are turned on; the first control valve 1371 connects the first channel 1341 and the third channel 1343; the second control valve 1372 connects the first sub-channel 1341 and the third sub-channel 1315; the cleaning medium in the clean water tank 135, under the action of the first water pump 1322, enters the heater 133 through the main channel 1312, the first sub-channel 1314, and the third sub-channel 1316; the hot liquid heated by the heater 133 flows to the water outlet bar 1361 through the third channel 1343 and the second channel 1342, and finally sprays the roller brush through the water outlet bar 1361.

[0144] Figure 5 shows a schematic diagram of the water flow path when the cleaning device 100 executes the steam self-cleaning mode. Referring to Figure 5, the water flow path in the steam self-cleaning mode is as follows: the first water pump 1322, the second water pump 1324, and the heater 133 are activated; the first control valve 1371 connects to the third channel 1346 and the second channel 1342; the second control valve 1372 connects to the first sub-channel 1314 and the fourth channel 1346. In one path, the cleaning medium in the clean water tank 135, under the action of the first water pump 1322, passes through the main channel 1312, the first sub-channel 1314, the fourth channel 1346, and the water outlet 1361 of the first channel 1341 before being sprayed onto the roller brush. In the other path, the cleaning medium in the clean water tank 135, under the action of the second water pump 1324, passes through the main channel and the second sub-channel into the heater 133, is heated into steam by the heater 133, and then passes through the third and second channels before being sprayed onto the outer surface of the roller brush through the steam outlet 1362.

[0145] Since the self-cleaning function of the cleaning device 100 typically occurs after the cleaning task is completed, and the cleaning device 100 has already consumed some power during the cleaning process, and self-cleaning also requires a certain amount of power, it is necessary to check whether the power is sufficient during the self-cleaning process. Because the hot liquid cleaning mode heats a large amount of water, it consumes more power. If the power level of the cleaning device 100 is greater than the second set value but less than the first set value, it indicates that the current power level is too low to support the hot liquid self-cleaning mode. Since the steam self-cleaning mode consumes relatively less power, if the hot liquid cleaning mode is currently being used, it should be switched to the steam self-cleaning mode so that the cleaning device 100 can self-clean normally. If the power level of the cleaning device 100 is less than the second set value, it indicates that the current power level is too low to activate the self-cleaning mode. It should be charged first, then fully charged to the third set value before activating the self-cleaning mode.

[0146] As for the charging method of the cleaning device 100, the cleaning device 100 can be put back into the cleaning base station 200 for charging, or the battery of the cleaning device 100 can be removed and charged directly.

[0147] Figure 6 shows a schematic diagram of the structure of the cleaning system 10 provided in an embodiment of this application. Referring to Figure 6, based on the same inventive concept, an embodiment of this application also provides a cleaning system 10, which includes a cleaning base station 200 and the aforementioned cleaning device 100. The cleaning base station 200 is capable of charging the cleaning device 100.

[0148] Based on the same inventive concept, this application also provides a self-cleaning control method applied to a cleaning device 100. The specific structure of the cleaning device 100 has been described in detail above. The specific structure of the cleaning device 100 can be referred to in the above description, and will not be repeated here.

[0149] Self-cleaning control methods include:

[0150] Please refer to Figure 7. In step S120, in response to the positioning command and / or self-cleaning command, the cleaning device 100 is controlled to execute the target cleaning mode.

[0151] The arrival command can be detected by the cleaning device 100 itself, or it can be received by the cleaning device 100 from the cleaning base station 200. When the cleaning device 100 receives the arrival command, it means that the cleaning device 100 has been returned to the cleaning base station 200. The cleaning base station can place the cleaning device 100 and charge the cleaning device 100.

[0152] The response to the position command and / or the self-cleaning command can be either only to the position command, only to the self-cleaning command, or both the position command and the self-cleaning command need to be responded to simultaneously.

[0153] Since the cleaning device 100 has a built-in heater 133, when the cleaning device 100 has sufficient power, the cleaning device 100 does not need to return to the cleaning base station 200. The cleaning device 100 can be fixed in one place to start self-cleaning. That is, under this condition, it can respond only to the self-cleaning command. If it only responds to the self-cleaning command, step S110 can be omitted.

[0154] The self-cleaning command can be triggered by buttons set on the cleaning device 100 and the cleaning base station, or by the user on the device terminal; the specific method is not limited.

[0155] The target cleaning mode includes at least the operation of the heater 133 and water pump assembly 132 of the cleaning equipment 100 to deliver the heated cleaning medium to the cleaning component 120 through the output channel 134.

[0156] Hot liquids dissolve stains better than room temperature liquids, thus improving cleaning effectiveness. Since both the heater 133 and the roller brush are located on the main body 110 of the cleaning device 100, the heater 133 is closer to the roller brush than if it were located at the cleaning station. This allows for a shorter path for the cleaning component 120 connecting the heater 133 and the roller brush, reducing the time it takes for the heated cleaning medium to reach the cleaning component 120. Using the heated cleaning medium to clean the object or component 120 further improves cleaning efficiency. Because the heated cleaning medium dissolves or carries away stains more effectively, less water is needed for the same level of soiling on the object or component 120, reducing water consumption during cleaning or self-cleaning processes.

[0157] Please refer to Figure 8. In step S1221, the cleaning device 100 responds to the positioning command and / or self-cleaning command, and controls the cleaning device 100 to execute the hot liquid self-cleaning mode.

[0158] The target cleaning mode includes a hot liquid self-cleaning mode. This mode involves controlling the heater 133 of the cleaning device 100 to heat the cleaning medium into a hot liquid, and controlling the first water pump 1322 of the cleaning device 100 to deliver the cleaning medium to the heater 133. The hot liquid is then delivered to the cleaning component 120 through the first channel 1341 to clean the cleaning component 120. The roller brush is controlled to rotate at a set speed value. The set speed is 300 r / min to 600 r / min. A relatively high rotation speed of the roller brush increases the centrifugal force during rotation, improving the cleaning effect. Specifically, the roller brush rotation speed can be 300 r / min, 350 r / min, 400 r / min, 450 r / min, 500 r / min, 550 r / min, etc.

[0159] Step S1222: When the cleaning device 100 executes the hot liquid self-cleaning mode or responds to the self-cleaning command, the power of the cleaning device 100 is obtained.

[0160] Since the self-cleaning of the cleaning device 100 usually occurs after the cleaning task is completed, and the cleaning device 100 has already consumed some power when performing the cleaning task, and self-cleaning also requires a certain amount of power, it is necessary to determine whether the power is sufficient during the self-cleaning process.

[0161] Step S1223: Determine whether the power of the cleaning device 100 is less than the first set value and greater than the second set value.

[0162] If the power of the cleaning device 100 is greater than the second set value but less than the first set value, it means that the current power is too low to support the hot liquid self-cleaning mode. The power of the cleaning device 100 can be determined by judging the relationship between the power of the cleaning device 100 and the first and second set values.

[0163] Step S1224: If the power of the cleaning device 100 is less than the first set value and greater than the second set value, then control the cleaning device 100 to execute the steam self-cleaning mode.

[0164] If the power of the cleaning device 100 is greater than the second set value but less than the first set value, it means that the current power is too low to support the hot liquid self-cleaning mode. Since the steam self-cleaning mode consumes relatively less power, if the hot liquid cleaning mode is currently being executed, the mode will be switched to the steam self-cleaning mode so that the cleaning device 100 can self-clean normally.

[0165] Step S1225: Determine whether the power of the cleaning device 100 is less than the second set value.

[0166] If the battery level of the cleaning device 100 is less than the second set value, it means that the current battery level is too low and the self-cleaning mode cannot be activated.

[0167] Step S1226: If the power of the cleaning device 100 is less than the second set value, control the cleaning device 100 to charge.

[0168] If the battery level of the cleaning device 100 is less than the second set value, it means that the current battery level is too low and the self-cleaning mode cannot be turned on. Charge it first, then fully charge it to the third set value before turning on the self-cleaning mode.

[0169] In step S1227, if the battery level of the cleaning device 100 is less than the second set value, a prompt message is sent to remind the user that the self-cleaning command will be triggered after the battery level of the cleaning device 100 is greater than the third set value.

[0170] The prompts can be spoken messages to remind the user to trigger the self-cleaning command, or they can be displayed in a pop-up window on the device terminal to remind the user to trigger the hot liquid cleaning command after the device's battery level exceeds a third set value.

[0171] Step S1228: Determine whether the power of the cleaning equipment is greater than the third set value.

[0172] Step S1229: If the power of the cleaning device 100 is greater than the third set value, then control the cleaning device 100 to execute the hot liquid self-cleaning mode, where the third set value is greater than or equal to the first set value.

[0173] If the power of the cleaning device 100 is greater than the third set value, it means that the current power is sufficient to execute the hot liquid self-cleaning mode, and the cleaning device 100 is controlled to execute the hot liquid cleaning mode.

[0174] Please refer to Figure 9. In step S1232, the cleaning device 100 responds to the positioning command and / or self-cleaning command, and controls the cleaning device 100 to execute the steam self-cleaning mode.

[0175] The steam self-cleaning mode includes: heater 133 heating the cleaning medium to steam, second water pump 1324 delivering the cleaning medium to heater 133 and delivering steam to the roller brush through second channel 1342, and first water pump 1322 delivering unheated cleaning medium to cleaning component 120 through fourth channel 1346 and first channel 1341 or delivering hot liquid to roller brush.

[0176] Step S1233: When the cleaning device 100 executes the steam self-cleaning mode or responds to a self-cleaning command, the power level of the cleaning device 100 is obtained. Since the self-cleaning of the cleaning device 100 generally occurs after the cleaning task is completed, and the cleaning device 100 has already consumed some power while performing the cleaning task, and self-cleaning also requires a certain amount of power, it is necessary to determine whether the power level is sufficient during the self-cleaning process.

[0177] Step S1234: Determine whether the power of the cleaning device 100 is less than or equal to the second set value.

[0178] In step S1235, if the power of the cleaning device 100 is less than or equal to the second set value, the cleaning device 100 is controlled to charge.

[0179] If the battery level of the cleaning device 100 is less than the second set value, it means that the current battery level is too low and the self-cleaning mode cannot be turned on. Charge it first, and turn on the self-cleaning mode after it is fully charged to the third set value.

[0180] Step S1236: If the battery level of the cleaning device 100 is less than the second set value, a prompt message is sent to remind the user that the self-cleaning command will be triggered after the battery level of the cleaning device 100 is greater than the third set value.

[0181] The prompts can be spoken messages to remind the user to trigger the self-cleaning command, or they can be displayed in a pop-up window on the device terminal to remind the user to trigger the hot liquid cleaning command after the device's battery level exceeds a third set value.

[0182] Step S1237: Determine whether the power of the cleaning device 100 is greater than the third set value.

[0183] Step S1238: If the power of the cleaning device 100 is greater than the third set value, then control the cleaning device 100 to execute the steam self-cleaning mode, where the third set value is greater than or equal to the second set value.

[0184] If the power of the cleaning device 100 is greater than the third set value, it means that the current power is sufficient to execute the steam self-cleaning mode, and the cleaning device 100 is controlled to execute the steam self-cleaning mode.

[0185] It should be noted that steps S1221-S1229 are the hot liquid self-cleaning mode, and steps S1232-S1238 are the steam self-cleaning mode. In response to the self-cleaning command, only steps S1221-S1229 can be executed, or only steps S1232-S1238 can be executed. Alternatively, both steps S1221-S1229 and S1232-S1238 can be executed. The order of steps S1221-S1229 and S1232-S1238 is not limited; steps S1221-S1229 can be executed first, followed by steps S1232-S1238, or steps S1232-S1238 can be executed first, followed by steps S1221-S1229.

[0186] Please refer to Figure 10, step S130, to obtain the preset cleaning mode.

[0187] The preset cleaning mode can be set by the user, either directly on the cleaning device 100 or on the device terminal.

[0188] Step S140: Set the preset cleaning mode to the target cleaning mode.

[0189] Setting the preset cleaning mode as the target cleaning mode allows the system to perform self-cleaning upon receiving a self-cleaning command. If no preset mode is set, either the hot liquid self-cleaning mode or the steam self-cleaning mode can be used as the target cleaning mode. The target cleaning mode can also include both the hot liquid self-cleaning mode and the steam self-cleaning mode simultaneously, and the order of the two modes is not limited.

[0190] Based on the same inventive concept, this application also provides a self-cleaning control method applied to a cleaning base station 200. The self-cleaning control method includes:

[0191] Please refer to Figure 11. In step S210, obtain the arrival signal of the cleaning device 100 placed at the cleaning base station 200.

[0192] When the cleaning device 100 is placed on the cleaning base station 200, and the cleaning base station 200 detects the arrival signal of the cleaning device 100, it means that the cleaning device 100 has been placed on the cleaning base station 200.

[0193] Step S220: Trigger the positioning command based on the positioning signal.

[0194] Based on the arrival signal triggering the arrival command, the cleaning base station 200 and the cleaning device 100 establish a communication connection. The cleaning base station 200 sends the arrival command to the cleaning device 100 to prepare for the self-cleaning or charging of the cleaning device 100.

[0195] Please refer to Figure 12. Based on the same inventive concept, this application also provides a self-cleaning control method applied to a device terminal. The self-cleaning control method includes:

[0196] Step S310: Receive cleaning signal.

[0197] The cleaning signal is triggered by the user on the device terminal, which can be an electronic product such as a mobile phone or computer.

[0198] Step S320: A self-cleaning command is triggered based on the cleaning signal, causing the cleaning device 100 to execute the target cleaning mode in response to the self-cleaning command.

[0199] Upon receiving a cleaning signal, the device terminal triggers a self-cleaning command and sends the self-cleaning command to the cleaning device 100, enabling the cleaning device 100 to execute the target cleaning mode.

[0200] Please refer to Figure 13, step S330, to obtain the setting parameters.

[0201] Similarly, users can set personalized cleaning modes on the device terminal as needed. For example, the parameters can be the water temperature, cleaning time, etc. in the self-cleaning hot liquid mode, or the cleaning time in the steam self-cleaning mode, etc.

[0202] Step S340: Generate a preset cleaning mode based on the set parameters.

[0203] After receiving the set parameters, a preset cleaning mode is generated. The preset cleaning mode can be sent to the cleaning device 100 so that the cleaning device 100 can clean itself according to the preset cleaning mode.

[0204] Please refer to Figure 14. Based on the same inventive concept, this application provides a self-cleaning control method, which utilizes a cleaning device 100, a cleaning base station 200, and a device terminal. The self-cleaning control method includes:

[0205] In step S410, the cleaning base station 200 obtains the arrival signal of the cleaning device 100 placed on the cleaning base station 200.

[0206] When the cleaning device 100 is placed on the cleaning base station 200, and the cleaning base station 200 detects the arrival signal of the cleaning device 100, it means that the cleaning device 100 has been placed on the cleaning base station 200.

[0207] In step S420, the cleaning base station 200 triggers a positioning command based on the positioning signal.

[0208] Based on the arrival signal triggering the arrival command, the cleaning base station 200 and the cleaning device 100 establish a communication connection. The cleaning base station 200 sends the arrival command to the cleaning device 100 to prepare for the self-cleaning or charging of the cleaning device 100.

[0209] In step S430, the device terminal receives a cleaning signal.

[0210] The cleaning signal is triggered by the user on the device terminal, which can be an electronic product such as a mobile phone or computer.

[0211] In step S440, the device terminal triggers a self-cleaning command based on the cleaning signal, causing the cleaning device 100 to execute the target cleaning mode in response to the self-cleaning command.

[0212] Upon receiving a cleaning signal, the device terminal triggers a self-cleaning command and sends the self-cleaning command to the cleaning device 100, enabling the cleaning device 100 to execute the target cleaning mode.

[0213] There is no specific order between steps S410-S420 and steps S430 and S440. Steps S410-S420 can be executed first, steps S430 and S440 can be executed first, or steps S430 and S440 can be executed simultaneously.

[0214] In step S450, the cleaning device 100 responds to the arrival command triggered by the cleaning base station 200 and / or the self-cleaning command triggered by the device terminal, and controls the cleaning device 100 to execute the target cleaning mode.

[0215] The response to the position command and / or the self-cleaning command can be either only to the position command, only to the self-cleaning command, or both the position command and the self-cleaning command need to be responded to simultaneously.

[0216] Hot liquids dissolve stains better than liquids at room temperature, thus improving cleaning effectiveness. Since both the heater 133 and the roller brush are located on the main body 110 of the cleaning device 100, the heater 133 is closer to the roller brush than if it were located on the cleaning base station 200. This allows for a shorter path for the cleaning component 120 connecting the heater 133 and the roller brush, reducing the time it takes for the heated cleaning medium to reach the cleaning component 120. Using the heated cleaning medium to clean the object or component 120 further improves cleaning efficiency. Because the heated cleaning medium dissolves or carries away stains more effectively, less water is needed for the same level of soiling on the object or component 120, reducing water consumption during cleaning or self-cleaning processes.

[0217] Please refer to Figure 15. In step S4521, the cleaning device 100 responds to the positioning command and / or self-cleaning command, and controls the cleaning device 100 to execute the hot liquid self-cleaning mode.

[0218] The target cleaning mode includes a hot liquid self-cleaning mode. This mode involves controlling the heater 133 of the cleaning device 100 to heat the cleaning medium into a hot liquid, and controlling the first water pump 1322 of the cleaning device 100 to deliver the cleaning medium to the heater 133, and then delivering the hot liquid to the cleaning component 120 to clean the cleaning component 120. The roller brush is controlled to rotate at a set speed value. The set speed is 300 r / min to 600 r / min. A relatively high rotation speed of the roller brush increases the centrifugal force during rotation, improving the cleaning effect. Specifically, the roller brush rotation speed can be 300 r / min, 350 r / min, 400 r / min, 450 r / min, 500 r / min, 550 r / min, etc.

[0219] Step S4522: When the cleaning device 100 executes the hot liquid self-cleaning mode or responds to the self-cleaning command, the power of the cleaning device 100 is obtained.

[0220] Since the self-cleaning of the cleaning device 100 usually occurs after the cleaning task is completed, and the cleaning device 100 has already consumed some power when performing the cleaning task, and self-cleaning also requires a certain amount of power, it is necessary to determine whether the power is sufficient during the self-cleaning process.

[0221] Step S4523: Determine whether the power of the cleaning device 100 is less than the first set value and greater than the second set value.

[0222] If the power of the cleaning device 100 is greater than the second set value but less than the first set value, it means that the current power is too low to support the hot liquid self-cleaning mode. The power of the cleaning device 100 can be determined by judging the relationship between the power of the cleaning device 100 and the first and second set values.

[0223] Step S4524: If the power of the cleaning device 100 is less than the first set value and greater than the second set value, then control the cleaning device 100 to execute the steam self-cleaning mode.

[0224] If the power of the cleaning device 100 is greater than the second set value but less than the first set value, it means that the current power is too low to support the hot liquid self-cleaning mode. Since the steam self-cleaning mode consumes relatively less power, if the hot liquid cleaning mode is currently being executed, the mode will be switched to the steam self-cleaning mode so that the cleaning device 100 can self-clean normally.

[0225] Step S1225: Determine whether the power of the cleaning device 100 is less than the second set value.

[0226] If the battery level of the cleaning device 100 is less than the second set value, it means that the current battery level is too low and the self-cleaning mode cannot be activated.

[0227] Step S4526: If the power of the cleaning device 100 is less than the second set value, control the cleaning device 100 to charge.

[0228] If the battery level of the cleaning device 100 is less than the second set value, it means that the current battery level is too low and the self-cleaning mode cannot be turned on. Charge it first, then fully charge it to the third set value before turning on the self-cleaning mode.

[0229] In step S4527, if the battery level of the cleaning device 100 is less than the second set value, a prompt message is sent to remind the user to initiate a self-cleaning command after the battery level of the cleaning device 100 is greater than the third set value.

[0230] The prompts can be spoken messages to remind the user to trigger the self-cleaning command, or they can be displayed in a pop-up window on the device terminal to remind the user to trigger the hot liquid cleaning command after the device's battery level exceeds a third set value.

[0231] Step S4528: Determine whether the power of the cleaning equipment is greater than the third set value.

[0232] Step S4529: If the power of the cleaning device 100 is greater than the third set value, then control the cleaning device 100 to execute the hot liquid self-cleaning mode, where the third set value is greater than or equal to the first set value.

[0233] If the power of the cleaning device 100 is greater than the third set value, it means that the current power is sufficient to execute the hot liquid self-cleaning mode, and the cleaning device 100 is controlled to execute the hot liquid cleaning mode.

[0234] Please refer to Figure 16. In step S4532, the cleaning device 100 responds to the positioning command and / or self-cleaning command, and controls the cleaning device 100 to execute the steam self-cleaning mode.

[0235] The steam self-cleaning mode includes: heater 133 heating the cleaning medium to steam, second water pump 1324 delivering the cleaning medium to heater 133 and delivering the steam to the roller brush through second channel 1342, and first water pump 1322 delivering the cleaning medium to cleaning component 120 or delivering hot liquid to roller brush.

[0236] Step S4533: When the cleaning device 100 executes the steam self-cleaning mode or responds to a self-cleaning command, the power of the cleaning device 100 is obtained.

[0237] Since the self-cleaning of the cleaning device 100 usually occurs after the cleaning task is completed, and the cleaning device 100 has already consumed some power when performing the cleaning task, and self-cleaning also requires a certain amount of power, it is necessary to determine whether the power is sufficient during the self-cleaning process.

[0238] Step S4534: Determine whether the power of the cleaning device 100 is less than or equal to the second set value.

[0239] In step S4535, if the power of the cleaning device 100 is less than or equal to the second set value, the cleaning device 100 is controlled to charge.

[0240] If the battery level of the cleaning device 100 is less than the second set value, it means that the current battery level is too low and the self-cleaning mode cannot be turned on. Charge it first, then fully charge it to the third set value before turning on the self-cleaning mode.

[0241] In step S4536, if the battery level of the cleaning device 100 is less than the second set value, a prompt message is sent to remind the user that the self-cleaning command will be initiated after the battery level of the cleaning device 100 is greater than the third set value.

[0242] The prompts can be spoken messages to remind the user to trigger the self-cleaning command, or they can be displayed in a pop-up window on the device terminal to remind the user to trigger the hot liquid cleaning command after the device's battery level exceeds a third set value.

[0243] Step S4537: Determine whether the power of the cleaning device 100 is greater than the third set value.

[0244] Step S4538: If the power of the cleaning device 100 is greater than the third set value, then control the cleaning device 100 to execute the steam self-cleaning mode, where the third set value is greater than or equal to the second set value.

[0245] If the power of the cleaning device 100 is greater than the third set value, it means that the current power is sufficient to execute the steam self-cleaning mode, and the cleaning device 100 is controlled to execute the steam self-cleaning mode.

[0246] Please refer to Figure 17. In step S460, the device terminal obtains the setting parameters.

[0247] Similarly, users can set personalized cleaning modes on the device terminal as needed. For example, they can set the water temperature and cleaning time in the self-cleaning hot liquid mode, or the cleaning time in the steam self-cleaning mode.

[0248] In step S470, the device terminal generates a preset cleaning mode based on the set parameters.

[0249] After receiving the set parameters, a preset cleaning mode is generated and can be sent to the cleaning device 100, so that the cleaning device 100 can self-clean according to the preset cleaning mode.

[0250] Step S480: Cleaning equipment 100 acquires a preset cleaning mode.

[0251] The preset cleaning mode can be set by the user, either directly on the cleaning device 100 or on the device terminal.

[0252] Step S490: The cleaning device 100 sets the preset cleaning mode to the target cleaning mode.

[0253] Setting the preset cleaning mode as the target cleaning mode allows the system to perform self-cleaning upon receiving a self-cleaning command. If no preset mode is set, either the hot liquid self-cleaning mode or the steam self-cleaning mode can be used as the target cleaning mode. The target cleaning mode can also include both the hot liquid self-cleaning mode and the steam self-cleaning mode simultaneously, and the order of the two modes is not limited.
