After the intensive research of the applicant, the sterilization assembly can be arranged on the cleaning equipment, germs can be killed on the cleaning execution main body through the sterilization assembly, and the bacteria breeding of the cleaning execution main body can be avoided. The applicant has further found that when the cleaning apparatus is in different seasons, the temperature and humidity of the environment are different, and if the operation of the sterilization assembly is controlled according to the same operation time, the cleaning and sterilization effect is easy to be insufficient or wasted.

Based on this, in order to alleviate cleaning device and because of the limited bacterium that breeds of clean effect, and then lead to causing the problem of secondary pollution to the face that is cleaned, this application has proposed a cleaning device and control method.

Referring to fig. 1, some embodiments of the present application provide a cleaning apparatus 1000, which includes a cleaning apparatus 1000 executing main body 100, a sterilizing assembly Z, an environment detecting device 203, and a control device 300, wherein the cleaning executing main body is used for executing a cleaning operation on a surface to be cleaned.

The power device includes a fan, which may be, but not limited to, a centrifugal fan, an axial fan, etc.

The sterilization unit Z may be a unit that performs sterilization at a high temperature, or may perform sterilization using ozone, negative ions, ultraviolet rays, or the like, and the type of the sterilization unit Z is not limited in the embodiment of the present application. The sterilization unit Z may be disposed on the cleaning performing main body 100, or may be disposed outside the cleaning performing main body 100 as long as it can sterilize germs on the cleaning performing main body 100. The sterilization assembly Z may be configured to sterilize the wipers 12 (not limited to the wipers 12, but also the circulation duct S for the circulation air stream) on the cleaning execution main body 100.

It should be noted that the cleaning execution main body 100 may be provided with the wiper 12 (e.g., a floor washer, a floor sweeper) or may not be provided with the wiper 12 (e.g., a vacuum cleaner). The wiper 12 may be a wipe, a roll brush, a pan brush, or the like. When the cleaning execution body 100 is not provided with the wiper 12, the sterilization member Z may be disposed inside the garbage collection box 22 or the dirt suction path 11a of the cleaning execution body 100, and when the cleaning execution body 100 is provided with the wiper 12, the sterilization member Z may be disposed inside the garbage collection box 22 or the dirt suction path 11a, or may be disposed near the wiper 12.

The sterilization assembly Z may be activated to sterilize germs in the cleaning execution main body 100 by the user, and is not limited in particular.

When the sterilizing assembly Z is activated to sterilize germs on the cleaning execution main body 100, the control device 300 determines the operating time period of the sterilizing assembly Z according to the environmental parameters acquired by the environmental detection device 203. For example, when the environmental parameter indicates a high temperature (or a low humidity), the operation time of the sterilization assembly Z may be shortened. When the environmental parameter indicates a low temperature (or a high humidity), the operation time of the sterilization assembly Z can be extended.

Above-mentioned cleaning equipment 1000, when starting the subassembly Z that disinfects and carry out the germ disinfection to clean execution main part 100, controlling means 300 can control the operating duration of subassembly Z that disinfects according to the environmental parameter that environment detection device 203 acquireed for the sterilization degree of subassembly Z that disinfects is relevant with actual environment, not only can ensure the clean bactericidal effect of subassembly Z that disinfects, can also avoid disinfecting extravagantly and the energy saving.

Based on the same inventive concept, please refer to fig. 10, the present application also proposes a control method of the cleaning apparatus 1000, which includes the following steps:

s11, obtaining environmental parameters of an environment where the cleaning device 1000 is located, wherein the cleaning device 1000 comprises a cleaning execution main body 100 and a sterilization component Z, the sterilization component Z is arranged on the base station 200 and/or the cleaning execution main body 100, and the sterilization component Z is used for performing sterilization operation on the cleaning execution main body 100;

s12, determining the working time of the sterilization assembly Z according to the environmental parameters, and controlling the working time of the sterilization assembly Z.

In this embodiment, the cleaning apparatus 1000 includes a cleaning apparatus 1000 executing main body 100 for executing a cleaning operation on a surface to be cleaned, a sterilizing unit Z, an environment detecting device 203, and a control device 300. The sterilization assembly Z is used to perform a sterilization operation on the cleaning performing body 100. The environment detection device 203 is used for acquiring an environment parameter of an environment where the cleaning apparatus 1000 is located, and the control device 300 is in communication connection with both the environment detection device 203 and the sterilization assembly Z, and is used for executing the control method of the cleaning apparatus 1000 provided in the embodiment of the present application.

For the description of the cleaning execution main body 100, the sterilization assembly Z, the environment detection device 203 and the control device 300, reference is made to the description of the above embodiments, which are not repeated herein.

In step S11, the environmental parameters include, but are not limited to, a temperature parameter and a humidity parameter, and the control device 300 acquires the environmental parameters from the environment detection device 203 when the sterilization assembly Z is activated to sterilize germs on the cleaning execution main body 100. The environmental detection device 203 may acquire the environmental parameters in real time or periodically, or acquire the environmental parameters under the control of the control device 300 (for example, the environmental detection device 203 may be controlled to acquire the environmental parameters when the control device 300 determines that the sterilization assembly Z needs to be activated).

In step S12, the control device 300 determines the operating time of the sterilization assembly Z according to the environmental parameters acquired by the environmental detection device 203. For example, when the environmental parameter indicates a higher temperature (or a lower humidity), the operation time of the sterilization assembly Z can be shortened. When the environmental parameter indicates a low temperature (or a high humidity), the operation time of the sterilization assembly Z can be extended.

According to the control method of the cleaning equipment 1000, when the sterilization assembly Z is started to sterilize germs on the cleaning execution main body 100, the control device 300 can control the working time of the sterilization assembly Z according to the environmental parameters acquired by the environment detection device 203, so that the sterilization degree of the sterilization assembly Z is related to the actual environment, the cleaning and sterilization effect of the sterilization assembly Z can be ensured, and the waste of sterilization and sterilization can be avoided, so that the energy is saved.

Specifically, referring to fig. 11, the step of determining the operating time of the sterilization assembly Z according to the environmental parameters includes:

s12a, judging a preset reference interval where the environmental parameter is located;

the reference intervals corresponding to different environmental parameters are different. When the environmental parameter is a temperature parameter, the reference interval is a temperature reference area. And when the environmental parameter is a humidity parameter, the reference area is a humidity reference interval.

As an example, the temperature reference interval includes three, respectively a first temperature reference interval lower than 10 ℃, a second temperature reference interval between 10 ℃ and 30 ℃, and a third temperature reference interval higher than 30 ℃. And after the temperature parameter is obtained, judging the temperature reference interval in which the temperature parameter is located, and if the ambient temperature is 25 ℃, setting the temperature reference interval in which the obtained temperature parameter (25 ℃) is located as a second temperature reference interval.

As an example, the humidity reference interval comprises three first humidity reference intervals, each being lower than 45% rh, a second humidity reference interval which is 45-75% rh, a third humidity reference interval which is higher than 75% rh. When the humidity parameter is acquired, the humidity reference interval in which the humidity parameter is located is determined, and if the ambient relative humidity is 50% rh, the humidity reference interval in which the acquired humidity parameter (50% rh) is located is the second humidity reference interval.

And S12b, determining the working time of the sterilization component Z according to the preset standard working time and the time adjustment quantity associated with the preset reference interval.

Each reference interval is associated with a time adjustment quantity, and the time adjustment quantity can be based on the standard working duration, and can be used for increasing the duration in a forward direction, shortening the duration in a reverse direction, or not increasing or decreasing. The time adjustment amount corresponding to each reference interval is different.

Taking the temperature parameter as an example, the standard operating time is 10min, the time adjustment amount associated with the first temperature reference interval is +3min, the time adjustment amount associated with the second temperature reference interval is 0, and the time adjustment amount associated with the third temperature reference interval is-1 min. And when the ambient temperature is in the first temperature reference interval, increasing for 3min on the basis of the standard working time, and obtaining the working time of the sterilization assembly Z as 13min.

The division of the reference interval is not limited to the above example, and more detailed division may be performed, and the threshold may be adjusted as needed.

The actual working time of the sterilization component Z is determined by increasing, decreasing or not changing the standard working time of the sterilization component Z according to the time adjustment quantity associated with the preset reference interval where the environmental parameter is located, and the calculation is simple and easy to realize.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 12, the cleaning apparatus 1000 includes a base station 200, and the method for controlling the cleaning apparatus 1000 further includes:

s13, when the cleaning execution main body 100 is in butt joint with the base station 200, judging whether the cleaning execution main body 100 executes self-cleaning operation ending or responds to a first self-cleaning instruction triggered by a user;

if yes, executing the following steps: and determining the working time of the sterilization component Z according to the environmental parameters, and controlling the working time of the sterilization component Z.

In this embodiment, the cleaning apparatus 1000 includes the base station 200, and for the description of the base station 200, reference is made to the description in the above embodiments, which is not repeated herein.

In step S13, it is determined whether the cleaning execution main body 100 is docked with the base station 200, in which one of the cleaning execution main body 100 and the base station 200 is provided with a sensor, the other is provided with a sensed object, and the control device 300 is in communication connection or electrical connection with the sensor. When the sensor senses the sensed object, it indicates that the two are successfully connected, and the control device 300 can obtain the related signal fed back by the sensor.

The inductor and the sensed piece can be realized based on the magnetic induction principle, and the inductor is an electromagnetic sensor at the moment, and the sensed piece can be a magnet. The sensor may also be a pressure sensor that, when pressed by a sensing member against the pressure sensor, indicates that the cleaning implement body 100 is successfully docked with the base station 200. The specific scheme of monitoring whether the cleaning performing body 100 is docked with the base station 200 is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

When it is determined that the docking of the cleaning execution main body 100 with the base station 200 is successful, it is determined whether the cleaning execution main body 100 performs the self-cleaning operation, and if so, the control device 300 determines that the sterilization unit Z is required to perform the sterilization operation on the cleaning execution main body 100, and then performs step S12. Or, after the cleaning execution main body 100 is successfully docked with the base station 200, when the first self-cleaning instruction triggered by the user is acquired, the first self-cleaning instruction is responded and the sterilization assembly Z is controlled to perform the sterilization operation on the cleaning execution main body 100. Then, step S12 is executed.

Reference may be made to the following description regarding how the cleaning performing body 100 performs the self-cleaning operation. As to how the user acquires the first self-cleaning instruction, it may be that an interactive member 27 is provided on the cleaning performing body 100, and the first self-cleaning instruction triggered by the user is acquired through the interactive member 27. Reference may be made to the above description for the interactive elements 27, which are not described in detail herein.

At this time, the sterilization component Z performs the sterilization operation on the cleaning execution main body 100, and needs to satisfy two conditions, where the first condition is that the cleaning execution main body 100 is docked with the base station 200, and the second condition is that the cleaning execution main body 100 performs the self-cleaning operation or responds to a first self-cleaning instruction triggered by a user, and when the former condition in the second condition is satisfied, the cleaning execution main body 100 performs the sterilization and disinfection on the wiping member 12 by using the sterilization component Z after the cleaning is completed, so that the cleaning execution main body 100 can be cleaned more comprehensively. When the latter condition among the second conditions is satisfied, the cleaning execution main body 100 may sterilize the cleaning execution main body 100 according to the user's needs, and the user experience is better.

In some embodiments, the sterilization assembly Z includes a dry sterilization assembly 202, the dry sterilization assembly 202 is used to perform a dry sterilization operation on the wipes 12 on the cleaning implement body 100, and the environmental parameters include a humidity parameter; the step S12 of determining the operating time of the sterilization assembly Z according to the environmental parameters and controlling the operating time of the sterilization assembly Z specifically includes:

s121, determining a first working time period according to the humidity parameter, and controlling the drying and sterilizing component 202 to work for the first working time period.

For the description of the drying and sterilizing assembly 202, reference may be made to the description of the above embodiments, which are not repeated herein.

In the present embodiment, the first operation period is determined according to a humidity parameter among the environmental parameters. Specifically, the preset reference interval where the humidity parameter is located is determined according to the humidity parameter, and then the first operating time length is determined according to the time adjustment amount and the standard operating time length associated with the preset reference interval.

The slower the drying of the wipes 12 of the cleaning execution body 100, the longer the operating time required for drying the sterilizing assembly 202, when the humidity in the environment is higher. The drying efficiency of the wipers 12 of the cleaning execution body 100 is faster as the humidity in the environment is lower, and the operation time period required for drying the sterilizing assembly 202 is shorter.

In this embodiment, the drying and sterilizing assembly 202 is disposed on the cleaning apparatus 1000, and the drying and sterilizing assembly 202 is used to dry the wiping member 12, so as to accelerate the drying of the wiping member 12, alleviate the breeding of germs on the wet wiping member 12, and simultaneously, the heat generated by the drying and sterilizing assembly 202 can kill germs.

Moreover, the influence of the ambient humidity on the drying efficiency of the wiper 12 is large, and the working time of the drying and sterilizing assembly 202 is determined according to the humidity parameter in the ambient parameters, so that the adjustment of the working time of the drying and sterilizing assembly 202 is more reasonable.

Of course, in other embodiments, the operation time of the drying and sterilizing assembly 202 may also be adjusted according to the temperature parameter.

In some embodiments, the sterilization assembly Z includes a sterilization assembly 21, the cleaning execution main body 100 includes a dirt suction channel 11a and a garbage collection box 22 which are sequentially communicated, the sterilization assembly 21 is used for providing a sterilization substance to a circulation air channel S where the dirt suction channel 11a and the garbage collection box 22 are located, and the environmental parameter includes a temperature parameter;

and S122, determining a second working period according to the temperature parameter, and controlling the disinfection and sterilization assembly 21 to work for the second working period.

Specifically, the preset reference interval where the temperature parameter is located is determined according to the temperature parameter, and then the second operating time length is determined according to the time adjustment amount and the standard operating time length associated with the preset reference interval. The standard time length corresponding to the temperature parameter and the standard time length corresponding to the humidity parameter may be the same or different, and both may be flexibly determined according to the drying capability of the drying and sterilizing assembly 202 and the sterilizing capability of the sterilizing and disinfecting assembly 21, respectively.

The higher the temperature in the environment, the lower the level of pathogens that may be grown in the cleaning implement body 100, and the shorter the length of time that the sanitizer assembly 21 will require to operate. The lower the temperature in the environment, the higher the level of pathogens that may be grown in the cleaning implement body 100, the longer the length of time it takes to operate the sanitizer assembly 21.

In this embodiment, the sterilizing material generated by the sterilizing component 21 is used to sterilize the ventilation duct S (including the dirt suction channel 11a and the garbage recycling bin 22), so that the germ sterilization treatment of the channel inside the cleaning execution main body 100 is realized, the defect that the interior of the cleaning execution main body 100 cannot be effectively cleaned when the traditional cleaning execution main body 100 is cleaned can be overcome, the peculiar smell caused by the breeding of bacteria inside the cleaning execution main body 100 due to improper cleaning can be effectively relieved, and the secondary pollution to the cleaned surface can be reduced.

Moreover, the environment temperature has a large influence on the breeding content of germs in the cleaning execution main body 100, the working time of the sterilization assembly 21 is determined according to the temperature parameter in the environment parameter, and the adjustment of the working time of the sterilization assembly 21 is more reasonable.

Of course, in other embodiments, the operation time of the sterilization assembly 21 may also be adjusted according to the humidity parameter.

In some embodiments, the sterilization assembly Z includes a sterilization assembly 21, the cleaning execution body 100 includes a cleaning liquid tank 23 and the wiper 12, the cleaning liquid tank 23 is used for supplying cleaning liquid to the wiper 12 and/or the surface to be cleaned, the sterilization assembly 21 can supply a sterilization substance to the cleaning liquid tank 23 or the ventilation duct S selectively;
