Solution Overview
Problem
Existing integrated cleaning appliances face inefficiencies in water feeding due to the need to wait for one appliance to finish feeding before starting another, leading to prolonged water feeding times and reduced operating efficiency.
Innovation Solution
A control method for a cleaning assembly that allows simultaneous water feeding to multiple components by determining the water feeding state of one component and controlling water feeding to another based on its request, utilizing a three-way arrangement and adjustable water inlet valves to manage flow rates and volumes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If water feeding is performed sequentially for each cleaning component, then the water supply system remains simple, but the water feeding time is prolonged and operating efficiency is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The water supply system is segmented into multiple independent water inlet valves (first water inlet valve for first cleaning component, second water inlet valve for second cleaning component), allowing each component to receive water independently through separate control paths, thereby enabling simultaneous water feeding to multiple components
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically controls the opening and closing of individual water inlet valves based on real-time water feeding requests from different cleaning components. The control device can independently adjust valve states to accommodate varying water demands of different components, enabling flexible simultaneous water feeding operations
2Area of stationary object
If multiple cleaning components are integrated into one assembly, then space is saved, but water feeding control becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The integrated cleaning assembly is divided into multiple independent cleaning components (first cleaning component, second cleaning component), each with its own water inlet valve. This segmentation allows independent control of water feeding to each component while maintaining their integrated housing, thus managing complexity through modular control architecture
Solution Approach 2:
The control device is designed with multi-functionality to handle water feeding requests from different cleaning components. It can independently control multiple water inlet valves and coordinate water supply to various components based on their individual needs, making the control system universal enough to manage the integrated assembly without excessive complexity

AI summary
Provided are a control method and apparatus for a cleaning assembly, a cleaning assembly, and a medium. The method includes: obtaining a water feeding request for at least one component of the cleaning assembly, in which the cleaning assembly includes two components including a floor cleaning component and a clothes cleaning component; and determining that one of the two components of the cleaning assembly is in a water feeding state, and controlling water feeding to another one of the two components of the cleaning assembly based on a water feeding request for the other one of the two components. The floor cleaning component includes a base station water tank, a movable portion water tank, and a base station washing tank. Determining that the clothes cleaning component is in the water feeding state, and controlling water feeding to the floor cleaning component based on a water feeding request for the floor cleaning component includes: controlling the base station water tank of the floor cleaning component to feed water to the movable portion water tank; and/or controlling the base station water tank of the floor cleaning component to feed water to the base station washing tank. In the present disclosure, simultaneous water feeding to the two components of the cleaning assembly can be realized, which facilitates simultaneous operation of the two components and improves operating efficiency of the cleaning assembly.
