[0099] The flowcharts shown in the accompanying drawings are merely illustrative and do not necessarily include all content and operations / steps, nor do they necessarily have to be performed in the described order. For example, some operations / steps can be broken down, while others can be combined or partially combined; therefore, the actual execution order may change depending on the specific circumstances.

[0100] In the description of this disclosure, it should be understood that the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this disclosure, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0101] Cleaning equipment such as floor scrubbers and robotic vacuum cleaners are becoming increasingly common. After using these devices, users typically place them on charging stations to recharge. However, effectively reducing the energy consumption of these cleaning devices during charging has become a pressing technical challenge.

[0102] This disclosure provides a cleaning device, a charging station, a control method, a program product, a medium, and a cleaning system. In this disclosure, a first controller in the cleaning device acquires the power level of the cleaning device in charging mode. Once the power level is greater than or equal to a first preset power level, the controller controls the cleaning device to enter a low-power mode or a shutdown mode, ensuring that the power consumption of the cleaning device is lower than that in standby mode. This solves the problem of unnecessary power consumption caused by the cleaning device being placed on the charging station for extended periods, thereby improving energy efficiency, reducing unnecessary power consumption, extending the lifespan of the cleaning device, and reducing the burden on the battery and electronic components. Furthermore, it improves the user experience, eliminating concerns about excessive power consumption during charging, thus enhancing convenience and environmental friendliness.

[0103] The implementation details of the technical solutions in the embodiments of this disclosure will be described in detail below.

[0104] Before proceeding, it should be noted that, in order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand this disclosure, some embodiments including control parameters will be provided. The specific values ​​of the control parameters in the embodiments are merely exemplary, and in practical applications, the control parameters in the embodiments may also be other values ​​depending on the actual situation.

[0105] Referring to Figures 1(a), 1(b), 1(c) and 1(d), a structural schematic diagram of the cleaning equipment and charging pile according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown.

[0106] As shown in Figures 1(a), 1(b), 1(c), and 1(d), the cleaning device 100 proposed in this disclosure may include a first controller (not shown in the figures). The first controller may be configured to: acquire the battery level of the cleaning device 100 in charging mode; and, after the battery level is greater than or equal to a first preset battery level, control the cleaning device 100 to enter a low-power mode or a power-off mode, wherein the power consumption of the cleaning device 100 in the low-power mode or power-off mode is lower than the power consumption of the cleaning device 100 in standby mode.

[0107] In this disclosure, the first controller can be any one of a microcontroller (MCU), a digital signal processor (DSP), a programmable logic controller (PLC), a single-chip microcontroller, or an embedded controller, and this disclosure does not specifically limit it.

[0108] In this disclosure, the first controller can monitor the power level of the cleaning device 100 in charging mode (e.g., periodically acquire and monitor the power level), and determine the charging status of the cleaning device 100 based on the power level. For example, when the power level of the cleaning device 100 in charging mode is greater than or equal to a first preset power level, it can be determined that the cleaning device 100 is fully charged.

[0109] In this disclosure, the first preset charge level can be 100% of the battery's rated capacity. For example, if the rated capacity of the cleaning device 100's battery is 2000mAh, the first preset charge level can be set to 2000mAh. When the cleaning device 100 is charged to 2000mAh, it is determined that the cleaning device 100 is fully charged. Alternatively, the first preset charge level can be 99% of the battery's rated capacity. For example, if the rated capacity of the cleaning device 100's battery is 2000mAh, the first preset charge level can be set to 1980mAh. When the cleaning device 100 is charged to 1980mAh, it is determined that the cleaning device 100 is fully charged. It is understood that the first preset charge level can be set according to actual conditions (e.g., as the battery's usage time and number of uses increase, the actual capacity of the battery will gradually decrease and may no longer reach its rated capacity), and this disclosure does not specifically limit this setting.

[0110] In this disclosure, after determining that the cleaning device 100 has finished charging, the cleaning device 100 can be controlled to enter a low power mode or a power-off mode. The power consumption of the cleaning device 100 in the low power mode or power-off mode is lower than the power consumption of the cleaning device 100 in the standby mode.

[0111] It should be noted that when the cleaning device 100 enters low-power mode, most of its internal electronic components are powered off, with only a small number in a dormant state. For example, its display device and voice device (e.g., microphone) are powered off. Similarly, some functional modules in its controller (e.g., timers) are in a dormant state. Furthermore, its network signal transceiver (e.g., WiFi module) is intermittently powered on and off, i.e., it is powered off for periods and on for periods to ensure the reception and transmission of necessary information. After confirming that the cleaning device 100 has finished charging, controlling it to enter low-power mode can effectively reduce its energy consumption. For example, switching the cleaning device 100 to low-power mode can reduce its power consumption from 5W in standby mode to 1W.

[0112] It should also be noted that when the cleaning device 100 enters the power-off mode, there are no electronic components in its internal dormant state. In this case, the power consumption of the cleaning device 100 approaches zero. For example, after switching the cleaning device 100 to power-off mode, its power consumption may decrease from 5W in standby mode to 1mW (i.e., only the discharge caused by its internal chemical reactions needs to be considered).

[0113] In this disclosure, the first controller in the cleaning device 100 acquires the power level in charging mode and, when the power level is greater than or equal to a first preset power level, controls the cleaning device 100 to enter a low-power mode or a shutdown mode, so that the power consumption of the cleaning device 100 in this mode is lower than that in standby mode. This solves the problem of unnecessary power consumption caused by the cleaning device 100 being placed on a charging station for extended periods, thereby improving energy efficiency, reducing unnecessary power consumption, extending the lifespan of the cleaning device 100, and reducing the burden on the battery and electronic components. Furthermore, it improves the user experience, as users do not need to worry about excessive power consumption during charging, thus enhancing convenience and environmental friendliness.

[0114] In this disclosure, the first controller can be further configured to: after the duration during which the power level is greater than or equal to the first preset power level reaches the first preset duration, control the cleaning device 100 to enter a low-power mode or a shutdown mode.

[0115] In this disclosure, after the battery level is greater than or equal to a first preset battery level, the cleaning device 100 can be controlled to enter a low-power mode or a shutdown mode after a first preset duration. The first preset duration can be between 1 and 20 minutes, for example, it can be 5 minutes, 2 minutes, or 10 minutes. It is understood that the first preset duration can be set according to actual conditions, and this disclosure does not impose any restrictions on it.

[0116] In this disclosure, before the cleaning device 100 enters a low-power mode or a power-off mode, a first preset time period is reserved to allow the user some time to perform other operations, such as starting the self-cleaning mode or drying mode of the cleaning device 100. This avoids situations where the user cannot control the cleaning device 100 to perform related tasks when the cleaning device 100 enters a low-power mode or a power-off mode, thereby improving the user experience.

[0117] In this disclosure, the cleaning device 100 is charged using the charging pile 200. The first controller can be further configured to: send a request to the charging pile 200 to turn off charging when the battery level of the cleaning device 100 is greater than or equal to the first preset battery level for a duration of the first preset duration; and when it receives a notification that the charging pile has turned off charging, control the cleaning device 100 to enter a low power mode or a power-off mode.

[0118] In this disclosure, to enable those skilled in the art to better understand this disclosure, a specific embodiment will be described below with reference to FIG2.

[0119] Referring to Figure 2, a charging control flowchart of an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown.

[0120] As shown in Figure 2, when the battery power of the cleaning device 100 is greater than or equal to the first preset battery power for a duration of the first preset duration, the charging pile 200 can be turned off by sending a request to the charging pile 200 to turn off charging. After receiving the notification that the charging pile 200 has turned off charging, the cleaning device 100 can be controlled to enter a low power mode or a shutdown mode.

[0121] In this disclosure, by requesting the charging pile 200 to turn off charging, and upon receiving notification that the charging pile 200 has turned off charging, the cleaning device 100 is then controlled to enter a low-power mode or a shutdown mode. This effectively prevents the charging pile 200 from frequently waking up the cleaning device 100, thus avoiding frequent activation and wake-up due to signal interference from the charging pile, thereby preventing the waste of battery power in the cleaning device 100 and reducing the energy consumption of the cleaning device 100. Simultaneously, it also prevents the battery of the cleaning device 100 from remaining in a charging state for extended periods, thereby reducing the risk of battery fire.

[0122] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the first controller may also be configured to: wake up the cleaning device 100 to enter standby mode in response to the charging pile starting charging after the cleaning device 100 enters low power mode or power off mode; and control the cleaning device 100 to enter charging mode when the power of the cleaning device 100 is less than a second preset power.

[0123] In this embodiment, the first controller can also be configured to: after waking up the cleaning device 100 to enter standby mode, when the power of the cleaning device 100 is greater than or equal to a second preset power, send a request to the charging pile to turn off charging; when receiving a notification that the charging pile has turned off charging, control the cleaning device 100 to enter a low power mode or a power-off mode.

[0124] In this disclosure, the value range of the second preset power level can be 80% to 100% of the battery's rated capacity, for example, it can be 90%, 95%, or 100%. It is understood that the second preset power level can be set according to actual conditions, and this disclosure does not impose too many limitations on it.

[0125] In this disclosure, to enable those skilled in the art to better understand this disclosure, a specific embodiment will be described below with reference to Figures 3(a) and 3(b).

[0126] Referring to Figures 3(a) and 3(b), a charging control flowchart of an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown.

[0127] As shown in Figures 3(a) and 3(b), after sending a notification to the cleaning device 100 that charging has been turned off, the charging pile 200 can start a timer. When the timer reaches a second preset duration, the charging pile 200 can automatically start charging. At this time, the cleaning device 100 will be awakened by the charging pile 200 starting charging and enter standby mode. In standby mode, the cleaning device 100 can compare its own power level with the second preset power level.

[0128] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 3(a), if the battery level of the cleaning device 100 is less than the second preset battery level, the cleaning device 100 needs to be recharged and will enter charging mode. It is understandable that subsequently, when the battery level of the cleaning device 100 in charging mode is greater than or equal to the first preset battery level, it will be controlled to enter low-power mode or power-off mode.

[0129] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 3(b), if the power of the cleaning device 100 is greater than or equal to the second preset power, the cleaning device 100 does not need to replenish the power. At this time, it can send a request to the charging pile 200 to turn off charging, so that the charging pile 200 turns off charging. When the notification that the charging pile 200 has turned off charging is received, the cleaning device 100 will enter the low power mode or the power off mode, and the charging pile 200 will reset the timer.

[0130] In this disclosure, it should be noted that the second preset duration can be set to several hours or several days. Specifically, the second preset duration can be set according to the rate of battery self-discharge, and this disclosure does not impose any restrictions on it.

[0131] In this disclosure, by introducing a timed wake-up strategy, after the cleaning device 100 enters a low-power mode or a shutdown mode, the charging pile 200 can periodically activate the cleaning device 100, causing it to enter a standby mode. In standby mode, the cleaning device 100 automatically monitors its battery level and compares it with a second preset battery level. Furthermore, when the cleaning device 100's battery level is less than the second preset battery level, it automatically enters a charging mode to replenish its power. When the cleaning device 100's battery level is greater than or equal to the second preset battery level, it will enter a low-power mode or a shutdown mode. In this way, the charging pile 200's active wake-up, along with the cleaning device 100's own battery monitoring and management, ensures that the cleaning device 100 will not become too low in power or fail to power on due to battery self-discharge when left unused for a long time. This improves the availability of the cleaning device 100, avoids the problem of insufficient power for users during the next use, and thus enhances user satisfaction.

[0132] In some other embodiments of this disclosure, the first controller may also be configured to: after the cleaning device 100 enters a low-power mode, in response to the timing of the cleaning device 100 entering the low-power mode reaching a second preset duration, acquire the power level of the cleaning device 100; when the power level of the cleaning device 100 is less than a second preset power level, send a request to the charging pile to start charging; and in response to the charging pile starting charging, control the cleaning device 100 to enter a charging mode.

[0133] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the first controller may also be configured to: control the cleaning device 100 to enter a low-power mode when the power of the cleaning device 100 is greater than or equal to a second preset power.

[0134] It should be noted that the technical solution in this embodiment can only be implemented when the cleaning device 100 enters a low-power mode. The reason is that if the cleaning device 100 enters a power-off mode, it cannot perform timing because its various components (such as the first controller) are in a closed state.

[0135] In this disclosure, to enable those skilled in the art to better understand this disclosure, a specific embodiment will be described below with reference to FIG4.

[0136] Referring to Figures 4(a) and 4(b), a charging control flowchart of an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown.

[0137] As shown in Figures 4(a) and 4(b), after the cleaning device 100 enters the low-power mode, it can start a timer. When the timer reaches a second preset duration, the cleaning device 100 can wake itself up and enter standby mode. In standby mode, the cleaning device 100 can obtain its own power level and compare it with the second preset power level.

[0138] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 4(a), if the power of the cleaning device 100 is less than the second preset power, the cleaning device 100 needs to be replenished. At this time, it will send a request to the charging pile 200 to start charging. After the charging pile 200 starts charging, the cleaning device 100 will enter the charging mode.

[0139] Understandably, in the future, when the cleaning device 100 has a power level greater than or equal to the first preset power level in charging mode, it will be controlled to enter low power mode again.

[0140] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 4(b), if the power of the cleaning device 100 is greater than or equal to the second preset power, the cleaning device 100 directly enters the low power mode and restarts the timer.

[0141] In this disclosure, a timed wake-up strategy is introduced. After the cleaning device 100 enters low-power mode, it can be woken up at a set time to enter standby mode. In standby mode, the cleaning device 100 monitors its battery level and compares it with a second preset battery level. Furthermore, when the battery level of the cleaning device 100 is less than the second preset battery level, it sends a request to the charging station 200 to start charging and enter charging mode to replenish the battery. When the battery level of the cleaning device 100 is greater than or equal to the second preset battery level, it directly enters low-power mode. In this way, the cleaning device 100's own active wake-up and battery monitoring and management ensure that the cleaning device 100 will not become too low in battery or fail to power on due to battery self-discharge when left unused for a long time. This improves the availability of the cleaning device 100, avoids the problem of insufficient battery power when users use it again, and thus improves user satisfaction.

[0142] Referring to Figure 1(a), in some embodiments of this disclosure, the cleaning device 100 may further include a first signal generator 101.

[0143] The first signal generator 101 can be configured to generate a first signal for detection by the first signal detector on the charging pile 200 (not shown in the figure, but as shown in Figure 1(b). The first signal detector can be located inside the charging pile 200 at position A, corresponding to the first signal generator 101 on the cleaning equipment 100, so as to ensure that the first signal detector can detect the first signal generated by the first signal generator 101). The first signal is used by the charging pile 200 to determine whether the cleaning equipment 100 is on or off the pile.

[0144] In this embodiment of the disclosure, when the charging pile 200 determines that the cleaning equipment 100 is connected to the pile, the charging pile 200 can start charging.

[0145] In this embodiment of the disclosure, when the charging pile 200 determines that the cleaning equipment 100 is in use, the charging pile 200 can turn off charging.

[0146] In this embodiment, the first signal generator 101 can be a magnet, the first signal detector can be a Hall sensor, and the first signal can be a magnetic field signal. Alternatively, the first signal generator 101 can be an RFID card, the first signal detector can be an RFID signal receiver, and the first signal can be an RFID signal. Specifically, the first signal generator 101 and the first signal detector can be selected according to actual conditions, and this disclosure does not impose specific limitations on them.

[0147] In this disclosure, to enable those skilled in the art to better understand this disclosure, a specific embodiment will be described below with reference to FIG5.

[0148] Referring to Figure 5, a charging control flowchart of an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown.

[0149] As shown in Figure 5, when the cleaning device 100 is connected to the charging pile, the first signal generated by its first signal generator can be detected by the first signal detector on the charging pile 200. When the charging pile 200 detects the first signal approaching, it determines that the cleaning device 100 is connected to the charging pile. At this time, the charging pile 200 starts charging, and the connected cleaning device 100 enters the charging mode. It can be understood that in the subsequent process, when the power of the cleaning device 100 in the charging mode is greater than or equal to the first preset power, it will be controlled to enter the low power mode or the shutdown mode to reduce energy consumption.

[0150] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 5, when the cleaning device 100 is driven into the charging pile and the charging pile 200 detects the first signal moving away, it determines that the cleaning device 100 has been driven into the charging pile. At this time, the charging pile 200 shuts off charging. In this way, the charging pile 200 can be prevented from being in a charging-on state for a long time, which could pose a potential safety risk.

[0151] It should also be emphasized that in this disclosure, the first signal generator is set on the cleaning device 100 and the first signal detector is set on the charging pile 200. Since the first signal generator (e.g., a magnet) does not need to consume power from the cleaning device 100 to generate the first signal (e.g., a magnetic field signal), even if the cleaning device 100 is completely out of power, placing it on the charging pile 200 can trigger the charging pile 200 to start charging, thereby enhancing the user-friendliness of the cleaning device and improving the user experience.

[0152] Referring again to Figures 1(c) and 1(d), in some other embodiments of this disclosure, the cleaning device 100 may further include a second signal detector (not shown in the figures, but as shown in Figures 1(c) and 1(d). The second signal detector may be located inside the cleaning device 100 at position B, corresponding to the second signal generator 102 on the charging pile 200, to ensure that the second signal detector can detect the second signal generated by the second signal generator 102).

[0153] The second signal detector can be configured to detect the second signal generated by the second signal generator 102 on the charging pile 200. The second signal is used by the first controller to determine whether the cleaning equipment 100 is on or off the charging pile.

[0154] Furthermore, the first controller can also be configured to: when the cleaning device 100 is determined to be connected to the charging pile based on the second signal, send a request to the charging pile 200 to start charging, and the charging pile 200 will start charging after receiving the request to start charging.

[0155] Furthermore, the first controller can also be configured to: when the cleaning device 100 is determined to be in the charging pile based on the second signal, send a request to the charging pile 200 to turn off charging, and the charging pile 200 will turn off charging after receiving the request to turn off charging.

[0156] In this embodiment, the second signal generator 102 can be a magnet, the second signal detector can be a Hall sensor, and the second signal can be a magnetic field signal; the second signal generator 102 can also be an RFID card, the second signal detector can also be an RFID signal receiver, and the second signal can also be an RFID signal. Specifically, the second signal generator 102 and the second signal detector can be selected according to the actual situation, and this disclosure does not impose specific limitations on them.

[0157] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the cleaning device 100 may also include a first contact port (not shown in the figure).

[0158] The first contact port is configured to communicate with a second contact port (not shown in the figure) on the charging pile. For example, the cleaning device 100 sends a request to the charging pile to turn off or on charging via the first contact port. Alternatively, the charging pile receives the request from the cleaning device 100 to turn off or on charging via the second contact port. Another example is that the charging pile sends a notification that charging has been turned off to the cleaning device 100 via the second contact port. Yet another example is that the cleaning device 100 receives a notification that charging has been turned off from the charging pile via the first contact port.

[0159] In this disclosure, the first contact port and the second contact port can be USB (Universal Serial Bus), SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface), UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver / Transmitter), etc., and this disclosure does not specifically limit them.

[0160] In other embodiments of this disclosure, the cleaning device 100 may also include a first non-contact port (not shown in the figures).

[0161] The first contactless port is configured to communicate with a second contactless port (not shown in the figure) on the charging pile. For example, the cleaning device 100 sends a request to the charging pile to turn off or on charging via the first contactless port. Alternatively, the charging pile receives the request from the cleaning device 100 to turn off or on charging via the second contactless port. Furthermore, the charging pile sends a notification that charging has been turned off to the cleaning device 100 via the second contactless port. And, for example, the cleaning device 100 receives the notification that charging has been turned off from the charging pile via the first contactless port.

[0162] In this disclosure, the first contactless port and the second contactless port can be Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, cellular network (GPRS / 4G / 5G), etc., and this disclosure does not specifically limit them.

[0163] In other embodiments of this disclosure, the cleaning device 100 may also include a first near-field radio frequency unit (not shown).

[0164] The first near-field radio frequency (NFC) device is configured to communicate with a second NFC device (not shown) on the charging station. For example, the cleaning device 100 sends a request to the charging station to turn off or on charging via the first NFC device. Alternatively, the charging station receives the request from the cleaning device 100 via the second NFC device. Another example is that the charging station sends a notification that charging has been turned off to the cleaning device 100 via the second NFC device. And yet another example is that the cleaning device 100 receives the notification that charging has been turned off from the charging station via the first NFC device.

[0165] In this disclosure, the first near-field radio frequency device and the second near-field radio frequency device can be RFID (Radio Frequency Identification), NFC (Near Field Communication), etc., and this disclosure does not specifically limit them.

[0166] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the cleaning device 100 may also include a first contact port and a first non-contact port, wherein the first contact port communicates with a second contact port on the charging pile, and the first non-contact port communicates with a second non-contact port on the charging pile.

[0167] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the cleaning device 100 may also include a first contact port and a first near-field radio frequency device, wherein the first contact port communicates with a second contact port on the charging pile, and the first near-field radio frequency device communicates with a second near-field radio frequency device on the charging pile.

[0168] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the cleaning device 100 may also include a first contactless port and a first near-field radio frequency device, wherein the first contactless port communicates with a second contactless port on the charging pile, and the first near-field radio frequency device communicates with a second near-field radio frequency device on the charging pile.

[0169] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the cleaning device 100 may further include a first contact port, a first non-contact port, and a first near-field radio frequency (NFC) transmitter. The first contact port communicates with a second contact port on the charging pile, the first non-contact port communicates with a second non-contact port on the charging pile, and the first NFC transmitter communicates with a second NFC transmitter on the charging pile. Based on the same inventive concept, this disclosure also proposes a charging pile. It should be noted that for details not disclosed in the charging pile embodiments of this disclosure, please refer to the embodiments of the cleaning device described above.

[0170] Optionally, the cleaning device 100 includes a first type of device and a second type of device, and a first controller is configured to control the first type of device and the second type of device to work; the first controller is further configured to: in a low-power mode, control the first type of device to turn off, control the second type of device to remain on, and enter a sleep mode.

[0171] Optionally, the first controller includes three sleep modes (or low-power modes): sleep mode, deep sleep mode, and standby mode. In sleep mode, the first controller disables most functions but still operates, resulting in higher power consumption. In deep sleep mode, the first controller is completely inactive, consuming very little power, and can be woken up by an external interrupt signal on any pin to resume operation. In standby mode, the first controller can only be woken up by a signal on a specific pin, and will reset and resume operation after being woken up. Therefore, when the cleaning device 100 is in low-power mode, the first controller consumes even less power after entering deep sleep mode compared to sleep mode; furthermore, compared to the stringent wake-up conditions of standby mode, the first controller entering deep sleep mode can meet diverse wake-up requirements.

[0172] Optionally, in low-power mode, the first controller of the cleaning device 100 is also configured to a deep sleep mode.

[0173] Optionally, the first type of device includes an actuator and a sensor; and / or, the second type of device includes an input device.

[0176] Optionally, the triggering device includes a button, trigger, knob, button or other device with triggering function, or these devices and circuitry connected to the first controller.

[0177] Optionally, the cleaning device 100 maintains power supply to the second type of device in a low-power mode, in preparation for user operation of the second type of device.

[0178] Optionally, the first controller is further configured to wake up in response to a change in a voltage signal input by the second type of device.

[0179] Optionally, the first controller is further configured to: wake up the first controller in response to an external interrupt signal input by the second type of device, and control the cleaning device to enter a standby mode. Optionally, the external interrupt signal that can wake up the first controller includes: a high-level signal that pulls a corresponding pin of the first controller from a low level to a high level; and / or, a low-level signal that pulls a corresponding pin of the first controller from a high level to a low level; and / or, a rising edge signal formed by pulling a corresponding pin of the first controller from a low level to a high level; and / or, a falling edge signal that pulls a corresponding pin of the first controller from a high level to a low level.

[0180] Optionally, in low-power mode, the user can activate the first controller by operating any triggerable component (such as a button, trigger, knob, or push button) in the triggering device to generate a voltage signal change input to the first controller.

[0181] Optionally, in low-power mode, when the cleaning device 100 is lowered from the charging pile 200, the pile voltage detection circuit will input the change in voltage signal generated due to the lack of detected charging voltage to the first controller to wake up the first controller.

[0182] Optionally, in low-power mode, the voice module of the cleaning device 100 wakes up the first controller by generating a voltage signal change when the user's voice input is recognized.

[0183] Optionally, in low-power mode, the wireless module of the cleaning device 100 wakes up the first controller by generating a voltage signal change input to the first controller upon receiving any instruction for operating the cleaning device 100. The wireless module may include the first near-field radio frequency unit (NFC) of the above embodiment. When the first NFC receives a radio frequency signal, it generates a voltage signal change input to the first controller to wake it up.

[0184] Optionally, in low-power mode, if the second signal detector does not detect the second signal, it is determined that the cleaning device 100 is in a low-power state, resulting in a change in the voltage signal, and the voltage signal is input to the first controller to wake up the first controller.

[0185] Optionally, the first controller is further configured to wake up in response to a change in the voltage signal input by the second type of device and control the cleaning device 100 to enter a standby mode.

[0186] Optionally, the first controller, in deep sleep mode, does not require a signal from a specific pin, such as a power-on signal generated by pressing the power button. This saves energy while still ensuring high user acceptance and usage rates.

[0187] Optionally, the first controller is further configured to control the cleaning device 100 to perform the same operation in response to input from the second type of device in different modes; the different modes include a sleep mode of the first controller, a low-power mode of the cleaning device 100, and a standby mode of the cleaning device 100.

[0188] Optionally, in deep sleep mode, the first controller does not require a signal from a specific pin, such as a power-on signal generated by pressing the power button. If the user attempts to operate the cleaning device 100, the second type of device detects the user's operation.

[0189] For example, the moment any button S1 is pressed, the triggering device 110 will generate a change in voltage signal. The first controller detects the change in voltage signal and is thus awakened. After being awakened, the first controller can execute the program, detect the remaining pressing and releasing actions of button S1, and thus respond to user interaction, which is the same as the action executed by the cleaning device 100 in standby mode in response to the input of the second type of device.

[0190] For example, when the cleaning device 100 enters low-power mode, the power supply (i.e., charging voltage V1) from the charging pile 200 to the cleaning device 100 is always on. If the user attempts to remove the cleaning device 100 from the charging pile, the pile voltage detection circuit 120, no longer detecting the charging voltage V1, will generate a voltage signal change due to the disappearance of the charging voltage V1. This will also wake up the first controller. After being woken up, the first controller detects the user's next operation and responds to the user's interaction. This is the same action that the cleaning device 100 performs in response to the input of the second type of device in standby mode. This saves the user from the need for a specific power-on / wake-up operation to wake up / power on the cleaning device 100 when it has entered low-power mode / sleep state. In addition, a specific power-on button can be omitted in the hardware. While reducing device power consumption, it also allows users to power on the device seamlessly, improving the user experience. In this way, while saving energy, it can also achieve a high level of user acceptance and usage.

[0191] Referring to Figure 6, optionally, the triggering device 110 includes:

[0192] Button S1;

[0193] The switch module 111 is connected to the button S1, the first power supply VCC, and the first controller. The switch module 111 is configured to: turn on when the button S1 is operated, generate a changing voltage signal based on the first power supply VCC, and output the voltage signal to the first controller.

[0194] Optionally, the triggering device 110 is a button circuit. Optionally, the button S1 is, for example, a press button, a knob button, or a touch button, etc., and is not limited here.

[0195] Optionally, the switching module 111 includes a first bias resistor R1, a PMOS transistor Q1, a first filter capacitor C1, a second bias resistor R2, an NMOS transistor Q2, a pull-up resistor R3, and a first current-limiting resistor R4.

[0196] The gate of PMOS transistor Q1 is connected to the button and one end of the first bias resistor R1. The source of PMOS transistor is connected to the other end of the first bias resistor R1 and the first power supply VCC. The drain of PMOS transistor Q1 is connected to one end of the first filter capacitor C1, one end of the second bias resistor R2, and the gate of NMOS transistor Q2. The other end of the first filter capacitor C1 and the other end of the second bias resistor R2 are grounded. The source of NMOS transistor Q2 is grounded. The drain of NMOS transistor Q2 is connected to one end of the first current limiting resistor R4 and is connected to the first power supply VCC through the pull-up resistor R3. The other end of the first current limiting resistor R4 serves as the output terminal of the trigger device and is connected to the pin of the first controller.

[0197] Optionally, the switching module 111 includes a first bias resistor R1, a PMOS transistor Q1, a first filter capacitor C1, a second bias resistor R2, an NMOS transistor Q2, a pull-up resistor R3, and a first current-limiting resistor R4.

[0198] The gate of PMOS transistor Q1 is connected to the button and one end of the first bias resistor R1. The source of PMOS transistor is connected to the other end of the first bias resistor R1 and the first power supply VCC. The drain of PMOS transistor Q1 is connected to one end of the first filter capacitor C1, one end of the second bias resistor R2, and the gate of NMOS transistor Q2. The other end of the first filter capacitor C1 and the other end of the second bias resistor R2 are grounded. The source of NMOS transistor Q2 is grounded. The drain of NMOS transistor Q2 is connected to the first power supply VCC and one end of the first current limiting resistor R4 through the pull-up resistor R3. The other end of the first current limiting resistor R4 serves as the output terminal of the trigger device and is connected to the pin of the first controller.

[0199] Optionally, the user operates button S1, causing the gate level of PMOS transistor Q1 to be pulled low and turned on. The voltage of the first power supply VCC is applied to the gate of NMOS transistor Q2 through PMOS transistor Q1, causing NMOS transistor Q2 to turn on, thereby pulling down the pin of the first controller, causing the voltage signal of the first controller pin to change from high level to low level. During this process, a falling edge signal is generated, which serves as an external interrupt signal.

[0200] Optionally, the switching module 111 may include a semiconductor transistor. The NMOS transistor Q2 is an NPN transistor or other semiconductor transistor. The PMOS transistor Q1 may be a PNP transistor or other semiconductor transistor. This embodiment of the present disclosure does not limit the transistor, as long as it can be used to implement the control logic of this disclosure.

[0201] Please refer to Figure 7. Optionally, the pile voltage detection circuit 120 includes an input module 121, an operational amplifier module 122, and / or an output module 123.

[0202] Input module 121, the input terminal of which is connected to charging input port Vin, is configured to divide and filter the voltage of charging input port Vin and then output a detection voltage.

[0203] Operational amplifier module 122, the input terminal of which is connected to the output terminal of input module 121, is configured to buffer the detected voltage before outputting.

[0204] The output module 123 is connected to the output terminal of the operational amplifier module 122 and the first controller. The output module 123 is configured to filter the detection voltage output by the operational amplifier module 122 after buffering and output it to the first controller. The detection voltage includes an external interrupt signal.

[0205] Optionally, when the cleaning device 100 is on the charging pile 200, the pile voltage detection circuit 120 can detect the charging voltage V1 at the charging input port Vin, where V1 is, for example, 24V or 48V. For example, the 24V charging voltage V1 is divided and filtered by the input module 121 to obtain a 3.3V detection voltage. This 3.3V detection voltage is buffered by the operational amplifier module 122 and output to the output module 123. The output module 123 then filters the 3.3V detection voltage output by the operational amplifier module 122 again before outputting it to the first controller. However, when the cleaning device 100 is placed on the charging pile, the pile voltage detection circuit 120 will no longer be able to detect the charging voltage V1 at the charging input port Vin. That is, the input module 121 detects a 0V charging voltage V1 at the charging input port Vin, and the detection voltages input to the operational amplifier module 122, the output module 123, and the first controller also become 0V.

[0206] In this way, when the cleaning device 100, in low-power mode, enters or exits the charging pile 200, the pin connected to the first controller and the pile voltage detection circuit 120 changes from high to low, creating a voltage signal change and generating a falling edge, which serves as an external interrupt signal to wake up the first controller. Conversely, when the cleaning device 100, in low-power mode, enters or exits the charging pile 200, the pin connected to the first controller and the pile voltage detection circuit 120 changes from low to high, creating a voltage signal change and generating a rising edge, which can also serve as an external interrupt signal to wake up the first controller.

[0207] Optionally, the input module 121 includes a first voltage divider resistor R5, a second voltage divider resistor R6, a second filter capacitor C2, and a second current limiting resistor R7.

[0208] One end of the first voltage divider resistor R5 is connected to the charging input port. The other end of the first voltage divider resistor R5 is connected to one end of the second voltage divider resistor R6, one end of the second filter capacitor C2, and one end of the second current limiting resistor R7. The other end of the second voltage divider resistor R6 and the other end of the second filter capacitor C2 are grounded. The other end of the second current limiting resistor R7 is connected to the input terminal of the operational amplifier module 122.

[0209] The first voltage divider resistor R5 and the second voltage divider resistor R6 are used to divide the voltage at the charging input port and output the voltage component. The second filter capacitor C2 is used to filter the voltage component, and after being current-limited by the second current-limiting resistor R7, it is output as the detection voltage to the operational amplifier module 122.

[0210] Optionally, the operational amplifier module 122 includes an operational amplifier U1 and a feedback resistor R8. The non-inverting input terminal of the operational amplifier U1 constitutes the input terminal of the operational amplifier module 122. The feedback resistor R8 is connected between the inverting input terminal and the output terminal of the operational amplifier U1, so that the operational amplifier module 122 forms a follower and outputs the input detection voltage after buffering.

[0211] Optionally, the output module 123 includes a third filter capacitor C3 and a third current-limiting resistor R9. One end of the third current-limiting resistor R9 is connected to the output terminal of the operational amplifier U1, and the other end of the third current-limiting resistor R9 serves as the output terminal of the pile voltage detection circuit 120, connected to a pin of the first controller. The third filter capacitor C3 is connected between the other end of the third current-limiting resistor R9 and ground, used to filter the detected voltage before outputting it.

[0212] Optionally, the cleaning device also includes a charging circuit 105, which is connected between the charging input interface Vin and the battery (not shown in the figure). The input side of the charging circuit 105 has a large-capacity capacitor (not shown in the figure) for energy storage and filtering. The pile voltage detection circuit 120 also includes a unidirectional conducting device D1, whose input terminal is connected to the charging input port and whose output terminal is connected to the charging circuit 105. The unidirectional conducting device D1 is configured to prevent the voltage applied by the charging circuit 105 to the output terminal of the unidirectional conducting device D1 from interfering with the detection of the pile voltage detection circuit 120.

[0213] Optionally, the unidirectional conducting device D1 is a diode, with its anode and cathode forming the input and output terminals, respectively. The diode is used to prevent the capacitor voltage on the output side of the charging circuit 105 from being applied to the input terminal of the input module 121, which could cause the pile voltage detection circuit 120 to mistakenly believe that a charging voltage V1 is input, thereby interfering with the pile voltage detection circuit 120's detection of the charging input port Vin.

[0214] Optionally, the cleaning device includes: a first type of device and a second type of device, and a first controller is configured to control the operation of the first type of device and the second type of device; the first controller is further configured to: control the first type of device to turn off and control the second type of device to remain on and enter a sleep mode when the cleaning device 100 is controlled to enter a low power mode; and wake up the first controller in response to a change in the voltage signal input by the second type of device.

[0215] Optionally, the voltage signal changes include changes in the charging voltage, changes in the supply voltage of the first controller, changes in the enable voltage of the first controller, and changes in the pin voltages of the first controller. Optionally, changes in the pin voltages of the first controller include external interrupt signals that trigger the input of the second type of device.

[0216] Optionally, the first controller is further configured to: wake up in response to an external interrupt signal input by the second type of device, and control the cleaning device to enter a standby mode. Optionally, the external interrupt signal that can wake up the first controller includes:

[0217] A high-level signal that pulls the corresponding pin of the first controller from low level to high level;

[0218] And / or, a low-level signal that pulls the corresponding pin of the first controller from high level to low level;

[0219] And / or, the rising edge signal formed by pulling the corresponding pin of the first controller from low level to high level;

[0220] And / or, a falling edge signal that pulls the corresponding pin of the first controller from high level to low level.

[0221] Optionally, the second type of device can remain on without the control of the first controller; the second type of device remains on when the first controller enters sleep mode.

[0222] Optionally, the first controller is further configured to:

[0223] In different modes, the cleaning device 100 performs the same operation in response to input from the second type of device; the different modes include the sleep mode of the first controller, the low-power mode of the cleaning device 100, and the standby mode of the cleaning device 100.

[0224] Optionally, in deep sleep mode, the first controller does not require a signal from a specific pin, such as a power-on signal generated by pressing the power button. If the user attempts to operate the cleaning device 100, the second type of device detects the user's operation.

[0225] For example, the moment any button S1 is pressed, the triggering device 110 will generate a change in voltage signal. The first controller detects the change in voltage signal and is thus awakened. After being awakened, the first controller can execute the program, detect the remaining pressing and releasing actions of button S1, and thus respond to user interaction, which is the same as the action executed by the cleaning device 100 in standby mode in response to the input of the second type of device.

[0226] For example, when the cleaning device 100 enters low-power mode, the power supply (i.e., charging voltage V1) from the charging pile 200 to the cleaning device 100 is always on. If the user attempts to remove the cleaning device 100 from the charging pile, the pile voltage detection circuit 120, no longer detecting the charging voltage V1, will generate a voltage signal change due to the disappearance of the charging voltage V1. This will also wake up the first controller. After being woken up, the first controller detects the user's next operation and responds to the user's interaction. This is the same action that the cleaning device 100 performs in response to the input of the second type of device in standby mode. This saves the user the need to perform a specific power-on / wake-up operation before waking up / powering on the cleaning device 100, which has entered low-power mode / sleep state. In addition, a specific power-on button can be omitted in the hardware. While reducing device power consumption, it also allows users to power on the device seamlessly, improving the user experience.

[0227] In this way, while saving energy, it can also achieve a high level of user acceptance and usage.

[0228] This disclosure also provides a charging pile. Referring to Figures 1(a), 1(b), 1(c), and 1(d), the charging pile 200 is used to charge the cleaning device 100. The charging pile 200 may include a second controller (not shown in the figures). The second controller may be configured to: when it is determined that the charging pile 200 has completed charging the cleaning device 100, control the charging pile 200 to turn off charging; and trigger the cleaning device 100 to enter a low-power mode or a shutdown mode.

[0229] In this disclosure, the second controller can also be configured to: when it receives a request from the cleaning device 100 to turn off charging, determine that the charging pile 200 has completed charging the cleaning device 100.

[0230] In this disclosure, the second controller can also be configured to send a notification to the cleaning device 100 that charging has been turned off, thereby triggering the cleaning device 100 to enter a low-power mode or a shutdown mode.

[0232] In this disclosure, the second controller can also be configured to: after sending a notification to the cleaning device 100 that charging has been turned off, when receiving a request from the cleaning device 100 to turn on charging, control the charging pile 200 to turn on charging so as to charge the cleaning device 100.

[0233] In this disclosure, the charging pile 200 may also include a first signal detector (not shown in the figure).

[0234] The first signal detector is configured to detect a first signal generated by a first signal generator on the cleaning equipment 100; the first signal is used by the charging pile 200 to determine whether the cleaning equipment 100 is on or off the charging pile.

[0235] Furthermore, the second controller can also be configured to: when the cleaning equipment 100 is determined to be connected to the charging pile based on the first signal, control the charging pile 200 to start charging so as to charge the cleaning equipment 100.

[0236] Furthermore, the second controller can also be configured to: when it is determined based on the first signal that the cleaning device 100 has been driven into the charging pile, control the charging pile to turn off charging.

[0237] In this disclosure, the charging pile 200 may further include: a second signal generator (not shown in the figure).

[0238] The second signal generator is configured to generate a second signal for detection by a second signal detector on the cleaning equipment 100. The second signal is used by the cleaning equipment 100 to determine whether the cleaning equipment 100 is on or off a pile.

[0239] In this disclosure, when the cleaning equipment 100 is connected to the charging pile, the charging pile 200 receives a request from the cleaning equipment 100 to start charging; when the cleaning equipment 100 is disconnected from the charging pile, the charging pile 200 receives a request from the cleaning equipment 100 to stop charging.

[0241] The second contact port is configured to communicate with the first contact port on the cleaning device 100.
