Step one, the handheld cleaning equipment is placed on a cleaning base station, and an idler wheel of the handheld cleaning equipment is abutted to a cleaning part of the cleaning assembly.

When a user uses the handheld cleaning device, the floor brush assembly 11 cleans a working surface, the roller 12 is controlled by the driving device to assist the floor brush assembly 11 to walk on the working surface, and dirt on the working surface can be adhered to the driving surface of the roller 12. After cleaning the finished work surface, the user places the hand-held cleaning device on the base 21 of the cleaning base station 2, and the running surface of the roller 12 can abut against the cleaning portion 220 of the cleaning assembly 22 on the base 21.

And secondly, driving the roller to rotate by a driving device of the handheld cleaning equipment, so that the running surface of the roller rotates from the bottom of the dirt containing groove to the direction of the cleaning part, and the dirt on the running surface of the roller is scraped into the dirt containing groove by the cleaning part.

The dirt containing groove 23 is arranged on one side of the cleaning part 220 close to the roller 12 and is positioned below the roller 12, and when the roller 12 is controlled by the driving device to rotate, the cleaning part 220 abutted against the running surface of the roller 12 can scrape dirt on the running surface. The running surface of the roller 12 rotates from the bottom of the dirt containing groove 23 to the direction of the cleaning part 220, so that the dirt scraped by the cleaning part 220 falls into the dirt containing groove 23 below, and the roller 12 is automatically cleaned.

The self-cleaning method of the present disclosure further comprises:

step three, a base of the cleaning base station is provided with a floor brush groove for accommodating at least part of the floor brush assembly, and negative pressure is formed in the floor brush groove through a dirt suction channel in the handheld cleaning equipment in the self-cleaning process of the floor brush assembly so as to suck away dirt formed in the self-cleaning process of the floor brush assembly; under the action of negative pressure, the dirt in the dirt holding groove passes through the recovery channel and the ground brush groove and enters the dirt absorbing channel.

Hand-held type cleaning device 1 can carry out the automatically cleaning through soil pick-up passageway 13 to scrubbing brush subassembly 11, and soil pick-up passageway 13 extends to scrubbing brush subassembly 11 on, can suck away the dirty of scrubbing brush subassembly 11 clearance out from the working face through the negative pressure effect in the course of the work. When the floor brush assembly 11 is placed in the floor brush groove 25 of the cleaning base station 2, dirt on the floor brush assembly 11 can fall into the floor brush groove 25, the main dirt suction port 131 of the dirt suction channel 13 on the floor brush assembly 11 corresponds to the position of the floor brush groove 25, negative pressure can be formed in the floor brush groove 25, and the dirt in the floor brush groove 25 can be sucked away. Hold dirty groove 23 and ground brush groove 25 and pass through the recovery channel intercommunication, the dirt absorbing channel 13 can form the negative pressure in recovery channel, dirt holding groove 23 through ground brush groove 25 to will hold the dirty groove 23 in dirty suction channel 13 of passing through recovery channel, ground brush groove suction, needn't the manual clearance of user and hold dirty groove 23, thereby improved user's use and experienced.

In the self-cleaning method of the present disclosure, the method further includes: when the self-cleaning of the floor brush assembly is started, the driving device controls the roller to rotate; or after the self-cleaning sterilization liquid preparation stage is finished, the driving device controls the roller to rotate; or, in the self-cleaning stage, when the main motor starts to work and negative pressure is formed in the sewage suction channel, the driving device controls the roller to rotate. The roller rotates for 3 to 5 circles, and the driving device of the roller can stop working to complete the cleaning of the roller.

Self-cleaning of scrubbing brush subassembly 11 and self-cleaning of gyro wheel 12 can go on simultaneously, the self-cleaning in-process of scrubbing brush subassembly 11, at first carry out the electrolysis through electrolytic device to the clear water in the water tank, in order to improve the degerming ability of clear water, then will provide on the round brush 111 of scrubbing brush subassembly 11 through the electrolysis of clear water, and drive round brush 111 rotates, in order to wash round brush 111, the sewage that produces during the washing then falls into the scrubbing brush groove 25 of clean basic station 2, the dirt suction channel 13 of hand-held type cleaning device 1 produces the negative pressure through the fan subassembly, the sewage in the scrubbing brush groove 25 is sucked away. When the floor brush assembly 11 is self-cleaned, the driving device controls the roller 12 to rotate, so that the cleaning part 220 scrapes dirt on the running surface of the roller 12 into the dirt containing groove 23, and the dirt sucking channel 13 can suck the dirt in the dirt containing groove 23 through the recovery channel and the floor brush groove 25 under the action of negative pressure.

Or, the cleaning system can self-clean the roller 12 alone, when negative pressure is formed in the dirt suction channel 13, the driving device controls the roller 12 to rotate, at this time, the dirt suction channel 13 only sucks dirt scraped from the cleaning part 220 into the dirt holding groove 23 through the recovery channel and the floor brush groove 25, and the hand-held cleaning device does not self-clean the floor brush assembly 11.

As shown in the following table, an exemplary complete self-cleaning procedure, the cleaning step of the roller 12 may be performed during the self-cleaning process of the hand-held cleaning device 1. The drive means for the roller 12 is preferably activated during the B1, B2 phase before deep cleaning, but not during the B3, B4 phase when self cleaning is to be completed, to avoid dirt scraped off the roller from contacting the roller brush which has been cleaned. More preferably, the driving means of the roller 12 is activated at stage B2 to recover the dirt by the rotation of the roll brush.

In a further embodiment, the handheld cleaning appliance 1 can also be a self-propelled cleaning appliance.

The following describes the technical solution adopted in the present disclosure with reference to specific application scenarios to assist understanding.

Application scenario one

When a user uses the handheld cleaning device 1 to clean the floor, the user stands on the front side of the body 10, holds the handle at the top of the body 10, pushes the body 10 to move in the front-back direction, so that the floor brush assembly 11 cleans dirt on the working surface, and the roller 12 is controlled by the driving device to rotate to assist the floor brush assembly 11 to walk on the working surface.
