Illustratively, when the user operates the interactive element 28 to trigger the first self-cleaning command, which indicates that the user needs to sterilize the ventilation channel S, the command generated by the interactive element 28 can control the sterilization factor generator 21 to operate and generate a sterilization substance, and the switch valve 25 connects the outlet of the sterilization factor generator 21 and the ventilation channel S. Further illustratively, when the user operates the interactive element 28 to trigger the cleaning liquid preparation command, which indicates that the user needs to prepare the sterilizable cleaning liquid, the command generated by the interactive element 28 can control the disinfection factor generator 21 to operate and generate the disinfection substance, and the switch valve 25 is controlled to conduct the outlet of the disinfection factor generator 21 and the cleaning liquid tank 23. As another example, when the user operates the interactive element 28 to trigger a shutdown command, which indicates that the user needs to stop the operation of the cleaning device 1000, the command generated by the interactive element 28 can control the disinfection factor generator 21 and the on-off valve 25 to be closed. Of course, the instruction content triggered by the user based on the interactive element 28 can be flexibly set according to actual requirements, and is not limited in the embodiment of the present application. For example, the operating time of the sterilizing factor generator 21, the on-time of the on-off valve 25, etc. may also be controlled according to the quality of the interaction member 28.

The interactive element 28 is configured with a control element that can be communicatively connected to the sterilizing factor generator 21 and the on-off valve 25, which can be a single chip, a central processing unit, a microprocessor, or the like.

At this time, the interaction element 28 is configured on the cleaning device 1000, so that the control of the working requirement of the cleaning device 1000 by the user can be met.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 2 and 6, the cleaning device 1000 includes a power source 24 and a suction air duct 26, wherein the power source 24 is connected to the suction air duct 26 and communicated with the air outlet of the garbage collection box 22. The dirt suction channel 11a, the waste recovery bin 22 and the suction air channel 26 are in turn in communication and together form at least part of the circulation air channel S. The outlet of the sterilizing factor generator 21 communicates with the circulation duct S via the suction duct 26.

That is, the outlet of the sterilizing factor generator 21 is directly communicated with the suction duct 26, and the sterilizing material generated by the sterilizing factor generator 21 first enters the suction duct 26 and then is diffused into the garbage collection box 22, the dirt suction passage 11a, and the like.

At this time, the outlet of the disinfection factor generator 21 is directly connected with the suction air duct 26, which is easy to realize, and the structure of the sewage suction passage 11a and the garbage collection box 22 does not need to be improved, and the improvement cost is lower.

In particular embodiments, the projection of the suction duct 26 is located between the projection of the waste bin 22 and the projection of the disinfection factor generator 21 in a plane perpendicular to the surface to be cleaned. At this time, the disinfection factor generator 21 is closer to the suction air duct 26, so that the pipeline for communicating the disinfection factor generator 21 with the suction air duct 26 can be shortened, and the layout of the disinfection factor generator 21 is more reasonable.

As an implementation form of the cleaning implement main body 100 in the embodiment of the present application, referring to fig. 1 to 3, the cleaning implement main body 100 includes a floor brush 10, a main body 20, and a handle 27, the floor brush 10 includes a housing 11 and a wiping member 12, the housing 11 is matched with the main body 20, and the cleaning solution tank 23, the power source 24, the garbage collection tank 22, and the disinfection factor generator 21 are all disposed on the main body 20. A handle 27 is provided on the body 20 and an interactive element 28 is provided on the handle 27.

The floor brush 10 is used for walking on a cleaned surface, and the floor brush 10 drives the dirt sucking channel 11a to continuously absorb the garbage on the cleaned surface when walking. The floor brush 10 may be provided with a traveling driving mechanism for driving the floor brush 10 to travel automatically. The floor brush 10 can also be moved by human propulsion. The body 20 is used for installing the cleaning liquid tank 23, the power source 24, the garbage collection tank 22 and the disinfection factor generator 21, and understandably, the circulation air channel S is partially arranged on the housing 11 of the floor brush 10 and partially arranged on the body 20, and is formed by the garbage collection tank 22 of the body 20, the suction air channel 26 communicating the garbage collection tank 22 and the power source 24, and a pipeline communicating the garbage collection tank 22 and the dirt suction channel 11 a. The handle 27 is convenient for the user to operate and use, and improves the participation sense of the user.

As to the arrangement of the respective arrangements, there may be, but not limited to: the garbage recycling bin 22 and the cleaning liquid bin 23 are arranged on two opposite sides of the machine body 20, the power source 24 is arranged on one side of the garbage recycling bin 22, which faces away from the floor brush 10, and the disinfection factor generator 21 is not arranged on one side of the cleaning liquid bin 23, which faces away from the floor brush 10.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 1 to 3, the cleaning apparatus 1000 includes a cleaning execution main body 100 and a base station 200, the cleaning execution main body 100 includes a wiper 12, a housing 11, and a garbage collection box 22, and the wiper 12 is mounted to the housing 11. The sterilization factor generator 21 is provided to the cleaning performing main body 100 or the base station 200. When the cleaning execution body 100 is docked with the base station 200, the cleaning apparatus 1000 can perform a self-cleaning operation to wash the wiper 12.

When the cleaning execution main body 100 is docked with the base station 200, the cleaning apparatus 1000 can perform a self-cleaning operation, in particular, washing of the wiper 12. For example, when performing the self-cleaning operation, the wiper 12 may be cleaned by the cleaning liquid carried by the base station 200, the wiper 12 may be rotated in the self-cleaning operation if the wiper 12 is rotatable, and the head, the cleaning mechanism (such as a brush) may be cleaned by the base station 200, the cleaning mechanism (such as a brush) or the like in the self-cleaning operation if the wiper 12 is not rotatable. With regard to the solution for cleaning the wiper 12 by means of the base station 200, reference is made to the prior art and no specific details are given in the examples of the present application.

The wipe 12 may also be cleaned using the cleaning implement body 100 itself. For example, when the self-cleaning operation is performed, the cleaning solution tank 23 of the cleaning execution main body 100 supplies cleaning solution to the wiping member 12, the wiping member 12 is driven to rotate, the garbage collection tank 22 of the cleaning execution main body 100 collects sewage generated in the self-cleaning process, and the disinfection factor generator 21 can be started to deliver disinfection substances to the cleaning solution tank 23, so that the cleaning member 12 can be cleaned by the sterilizable cleaning solution tank 23.

At this time, the cleaning apparatus 1000 is configured with the base station 200, which can improve the cruising ability of the cleaning apparatus 1000, and can also realize self-cleaning of the cleaning apparatus 1000, thereby greatly facilitating the use of users.

It should be noted that the disinfection factor generator 21 on the cleaning execution main body 100 may start to deliver the disinfection substance to the ventilation duct S only when the cleaning execution main body 100 is successfully docked with the base station 200. Of course, the disinfection factor generator 21 may also deliver the disinfection substance to the ventilation duct S when the cleaning execution main body 100 is separated from the base station 200, and the specific application scenario is not limited.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 7, the base station 200 is provided with a drying assembly 202, and the drying assembly 202 is used for drying the wipers 12. Specifically, the wiping part 12 can be dried after the self-cleaning operation is finished, so that the probability of bacteria breeding on the wiping part 12 can be reduced.

The drying assembly 202 may be a hot air drying assembly 202 that may include a heater, fan, etc. that heats air to become hot air drying the wipes 12. The heater may be, but is not limited to, a resistive heater, an electromagnetic heater, or the like. The specific configuration of the drying assembly 202 is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 7, the base station 200 is provided with a power supply assembly 201, and when the cleaning implement body 100 is docked with the base station 200, the power supply assembly 201 is used for charging the cleaning implement body 100. By supplying power to the cleaning performing main body 100 through the base station 200, the power endurance of the cleaning performing main body 100 may be extended.

Specifically, the power supply assembly 201 may include a power adapter connected to the commercial power, and when the cleaning execution main body 100 is docked with the base station 200, a charging terminal of a storage battery thereof is docked with the power adapter, and the storage battery of the cleaning execution main body 100 is charged by the commercial power. Understandably, the cleaning execution main body 100 is provided with a storage battery, the power supply assembly 201 supplies power to the storage battery, and the storage battery can provide power for various electric structures (such as the wiping part 12, the disinfection factor generator 21, the power source 24, the interactive part 28 and the like) on the cleaning execution main body 100.

Of course, in other embodiments, the cleaning performing body 100 may be charged by being directly connected to a commercial power socket.

In one embodiment, the cleaning apparatus 1000 includes a cleaning execution main body 100 and a base station 200, the cleaning execution main body 100 includes a housing 11, a sewage tank (as a garbage collection tank 22), an ozone generator 21 (as a disinfection factor generator 21), a roll brush (as a wiper 12), a clean water tank (as a cleaning liquid tank 23), and an interactive member 28, and the housing 11 is provided with a soil suction passage 11a having one end configured to be open to a surface to be cleaned. The roller brush is rotatably disposed on the housing 11. The other end of the sewage suction channel 11a is communicated with the sewage tank, the power source 24 is communicated with the air outlet of the sewage tank through the suction air duct 26, and the ozone generator 21 is communicated with the suction air duct 26 and the clean water tank through the electromagnetic directional valve (as the switch valve 25). The interactive element 28 is in communication with the ozone generator 21 and the electromagnetic directional valve and can control the actions of the ozone generator and the electromagnetic directional valve. The interaction elements 28 include switch buttons and self-cleaning cases. The base station 200 has a base on which the cleaning performing main body 100 is seated when the cleaning performing main body 100 is docked with the base station 200, a drying assembly 202, and a power supply assembly 201.

Referring to fig. 8, the operation control process of the cleaning apparatus 1000 is: firstly, judging whether the whole machine (namely the cleaning execution main body 100) is put back to a base or not, if the whole machine is put back to the base, judging whether a user presses a switch button or not, if so, starting the ozone generator 21, switching an electromagnetic reversing valve to conduct the ozone generator 21 and a clean water tank, starting a water pump to spray the sterilizable clean water to the rolling brush, and recovering the sewage on the cleaned surface into a sewage tank; if the user does not press the switch button, the ozone generator 21 is turned off. If the whole machine is put back to the base, when a user presses the self-cleaning button for a short time, the ozone generator 21 is started, the electromagnetic directional valve is switched to conduct the ozone generator 21 and the clean water tank, the water pump is started to spray the sterilizable clean water to the rolling brush, the sewage on the cleaned surface is recycled into the sewage tank, then the drying function of the base station 200 is started, the electromagnetic directional valve is switched to conduct the ozone generator 21 and the suction air duct 26, and the ozone enters the sewage tank and the sewage suction channel 11a for sterilization. When the drying function of the base station 200 is started, the drying component 202 dries the roll brush. After the drying is finished, the cleaning execution body 100 is charged by the power supply unit 201, and the ozone generator 21 is turned off. If the whole machine is replaced to the base, when the user presses the self-cleaning case for a long time, the drying function of the base station 200 is directly started. When the user presses the charge button, the cleaning execution main body 100 is charged with the power supply assembly 201, and the ozone generator 21 is turned off.

Based on the same inventive concept, referring to fig. 9, the present application also provides a control method of the cleaning apparatus 1000, which includes the following steps:

s11, judging whether a circulation air channel S of the cleaning device 1000 needs to be disinfected or not; the cleaning performing main body 100 includes a soil pick-up passage 11a and a garbage collection box 22 on the circulation duct S;

s12, if yes, controlling the cleaning equipment 1000 to execute a disinfection operation; wherein, when the sterilizing operation is performed, the sterilizing factor generator 21 of the cleaning device 1000 is activated and delivers the generated sterilizing material into the circulation duct S.

The cleaning device 1000 in the embodiment of the present application includes the cleaning performing main body 100, the cleaning performing main body 100 includes the housing 11 and the garbage collection box 22, and the disinfection factor generator 21 may be disposed on the cleaning performing main body 100, or at another structure (if the cleaning device 1000 includes the base station 200, the disinfection factor generator 21 may also be disposed at the base station 200). The housing 11 is provided with a soil suction passage 11a, one end of which is configured to be open facing the surface to be cleaned. The garbage collection box 22 can communicate with the other end of the soil suction passage 11a for collecting garbage of the cleaned surface. The sterilizing factor generator 21 serves to generate a sterilizing substance. The cleaning performing body 100 has a circulation duct S for circulating fluid, the soil suction passage 11a and the garbage collection box 22 are both communicatively located on the circulation duct S, and the outlet of the sterilization factor generator 21 can communicate with the circulation duct S. The housing 11, the garbage collection box 22, the sterilizing factor generator 21, and the ventilation duct S are described in detail in the above description.

In step S11, it may be determined whether or not the circulation duct S of the cleaning execution main body 100 needs to be sterilized based on an instruction triggered by a user, and it may be determined whether or not the circulation duct S needs to be sterilized based on a contamination sensor provided in the circulation duct S (e.g., the contamination absorbing passage 11 a). The contamination sensor may be an infrared sensor, and the contamination degree in the contamination suction passage 11a may be determined by the infrared sensor, which indicates that the ventilation duct S needs to be sterilized when the contamination degree is high. For the principle of detecting the degree of contamination by the infrared sensor, please refer to the prior art, which is a conventional means in the field, and the specific implementation is not repeated here. Of course, whether or not the ventilation duct S of the cleaning execution main body 100 needs to be sterilized may be determined based on other control, and is not limited herein.

In step S12, when it is determined that sterilization of the flow path S is required, the cleaning performing body 100 is controlled to perform the sterilization operation. Specifically, the disinfection factor generator 21 on the cleaning device 100 is started, and the outlet of the disinfection factor generator 21 is communicated with the ventilation air channel S, so that the disinfection substance generated by the disinfection factor generator 21 can enter the ventilation air channel S and diffuse in the ventilation air channel S, and the ventilation air channel S is disinfected and sterilized.

In the control method of the cleaning device 1000, when the ventilation duct S needs to be disinfected, the cleaning device 1000 can perform a disinfecting operation, and the disinfecting substance generated by the disinfecting factor generator 21 can enter the ventilation duct S in the ventilation duct S for disinfection and sterilization. Compared with the prior art, the interior of the cleaning device 1000 can be disinfected and sterilized, and the generation of peculiar smell is relieved. Further, secondary contamination of the surface to be cleaned by bacteria and the like overflowing from the inside of the cleaning apparatus 1000 can be reduced.

In an embodiment, referring to fig. 10, step S11 specifically includes:

s111, determining whether the cleaning execution main body 100 of the cleaning apparatus 1000 is docked with the base station 200 of the cleaning apparatus 1000;

s112, if yes, when the cleaning execution main body 100 executes self-cleaning operation or responds to a first cleaning instruction triggered by a user, judging that the convection air duct S needs to be disinfected; wherein the cleaning performing body 100 performs the self-cleaning operation to wash the wiper 12 itself.

In the present embodiment, the cleaning apparatus 1000 further includes a base station 200, and the cleaning execution body 100 includes the wiper 12. For a description of the base station 200 and the wiper 12, see above.

In step S111, it is determined whether the cleaning execution main body 100 and the base station 200 are docked or not, wherein one of the cleaning execution main body 100 and the base station 200 is provided with a sensor, and the other one is provided with a sensed member, and when the sensor senses the sensed member, the docking of the two members is successful. 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 against the pressure sensor by a sensing member, 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.

In step S112, after the cleaning execution main body 100 is successfully docked with the base station 200, it is determined whether the cleaning execution main body 100 executes the self-cleaning operation, and if so, the cleaning execution main body 100 is controlled to execute the disinfection operation. Or, after the cleaning execution main body 100 is successfully docked with the base station 200, when a first self-cleaning instruction triggered by a user is acquired, the first self-cleaning instruction is responded and the cleaning execution main body 100 is controlled to execute a disinfection operation.

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 exchange member is provided on the cleaning execution main body 100, and the first self-cleaning instruction triggered by the user is acquired through the exchange member 28. Reference may be made to the above description for the interactive element 28, which is not repeated here.

At this time, two conditions are specifically required to be satisfied when the cleaning execution main body 100 performs the sterilization operation, the first condition is that the cleaning execution main body 100 is docked with the base station 200, 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 sterilizes the sterilizing fluid passage S by using the sterilizing fluid after the cleaning of the wiping member 12 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 can sterilize the ventilation flue S according to the user' S needs, and the user experiences better.

In an embodiment, referring to fig. 10, the control method further includes the steps of:

and S13, when the cleaning execution main body 100 is in butt joint with the base station 200 and responds to a second self-cleaning instruction triggered by a user, controlling the cleaning execution main body 100 to execute self-cleaning operation.

The second self-cleaning instruction may be obtained based on the above-mentioned interaction element 28 or based on a mobile terminal communicatively connected to the cleaning device 1000, and the obtaining manner of the second self-cleaning instruction is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

When the cleaning implement body 100 is docked with the base station 200, the cleaning implement body 100 is illustrated in an environment that is self-cleaning. When the user triggers a second self-cleaning command, which indicates that the user needs the cleaning execution main body 100 to clean the wiper 12, the cleaning execution main body 100 performs a self-cleaning operation.

At this time, after the cleaning execution main body 100 of the cleaning apparatus 1000 is docked with the base station 200, the self-cleaning of the wiper 12 can be performed under the operation of the user, so that the frequency of the user for manually cleaning the wiper 12 can be reduced, and the user experience can be improved.

In an embodiment, the step of controlling the cleaning execution main body 100 to execute the self-cleaning operation includes the following steps:

s131, the cleaning liquid tank 23 of the cleaning execution main body 100 is controlled to supply the cleaning liquid to the wiper 12, and the sterilizing factor generator 21 is controlled to supply the sterilizing material to the cleaning liquid tank 23.

In this embodiment, the cleaning performing main body 100 includes the cleaning liquid tank 23, and the description of the cleaning liquid tank 23 is described above in detail. In step S131, the cleaning liquid tank 23 may be controlled to supply the cleaning liquid to the wiper 12 by controlling the operation of the water pump communicating the cleaning liquid tank 23 and the spray structure. Meanwhile, the disinfection factor generator 21 is controlled to be started, and the pipeline where the switch valve 25 of the pipeline which is arranged for communicating the outlet of the disinfection factor generator 21 with the cleaning liquid tank 23 is controlled to be communicated is used for controlling the disinfection substances generated by the disinfection factor generator 21 to be conveyed into the cleaning liquid tank 23.

At this moment, the cleaning solution not only can wash wiper 12, can also disinfect wiping wiper 12, and clean effect is better.

In the self-cleaning operation, the contaminated water generated by cleaning the wipers 12 may be recovered by a waste recovery tank 22 on the cleaning implement body 100 (requiring activation of the power source 24), or by the base station 200 (e.g., the base station 200 may also be provided with a waste recovery receptacle). In the self-cleaning operation, when the wiper 12 is rotatable (e.g., the wiper 12 is a roll brush, a disc brush), the wiper 12 is controlled to rotate.

Of course, in other embodiments, the cleaning performing body 100 may not activate the sterilizing factor generator 21 when performing the self-cleaning operation.

In the embodiment, the method for controlling the disinfection factor generator 21 to deliver disinfection substances to the cleaning solution tank 23 specifically comprises the following steps:

s1311, controlling the switch valve 25 to conduct the inlet end 25a and the second outlet end 25c of the switch valve, and starting the disinfection factor generator 21; the inlet end 25a is communicated with the outlet of the disinfection factor generator 21, and the second outlet end 25c is communicated with the cleaning liquid tank 23;

accordingly, the step S12 of controlling the cleaning performing body 100 to perform the sterilizing operation specifically includes the steps of:

s121, controlling the switch valve 25 to conduct the inlet end 25a of the switch valve and the first outlet end 25b of the switch valve, and starting the disinfection factor generator 21, wherein the first outlet end 25b is communicated with the ventilation air channel S.

Reference may be made to the above description of the on-off valve 25. In this embodiment, the switching valve 25 includes an inlet port 25a, a first outlet port 25b, and a second outlet port 25c, the inlet port 25a communicating with the outlet of the sterilizing factor generator 21, the first outlet port 25b communicating with the ventilation path S, and the second outlet port 25c communicating with the cleaning liquid tank 23. For the description of the on-off valve 25, reference is made to the above description.

When the disinfection factor generator 21 is required to deliver disinfection substances to the cleaning solution tank 23, the switch valve 25 is controlled to conduct the inlet end 25a and the second outlet end 25c thereof, that is, the outlet of the disinfection factor generator 21 is conducted with the cleaning solution tank 23. When the disinfection factor generator 21 is required to deliver disinfection substances to the ventilation air channel S, the switch valve 25 is controlled to conduct the inlet end 25a and the first outlet end 25b of the switch valve, that is, the outlet of the disinfection factor generator 21 is conducted with the ventilation air channel S.

At this time, the disinfection factor generator 21 is switched to be conducted with the cleaning solution tank 23 or the ventilation air channel S by controlling the action of the switch valve 25, so that the control is simple and easy to realize.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 10, after step S111 when the cleaning execution main body 100 is docked with the base station 200, the method further includes the steps of:

s113, after the self-cleaning operation is finished or in response to a first self-cleaning instruction triggered by the user, controlling the drying component 202 of the base station 200 to perform a drying operation on the wiper 12.

For the description of the drying assembly 202, reference may be made to the above description, which is not repeated herein.

In step S113, after the cleaning execution body 100 is successfully docked with the base station 200, it is determined whether the cleaning execution body 100 performs the self-cleaning operation, if yes, the drying assembly 202 of the base station 200 is started to perform the drying operation on the wiping member 12, so as to accelerate the drying of the wiping member 12 and reduce the bacteria breeding probability.

Or, after determining that the cleaning execution main body 100 is successfully docked with the base station 200, when a first self-cleaning instruction triggered by a user is acquired, responding to the first self-cleaning instruction and controlling the drying component 202 to start and perform a drying operation on the wiper 12. In practical applications, when the wiping member 12 is not dried thoroughly, the user may trigger the first self-cleaning instruction to activate the drying component 202 to dry the wiping member 12, so as to satisfy the diversified cleaning requirements of the user.

Specifically, the step of controlling the drying assembly 202 to perform the drying operation may be controlling the drying assembly 202 to start. If the drying assembly 202 includes a heater and a fan, both the heater and the fan are controlled to be activated.

It should be noted that step S112 and step S113 may be performed synchronously or sequentially.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 10, the control method further includes the steps of:

s114, after the drying operation is finished or in response to a charging instruction triggered by the user, controlling the power supply assembly 201 of the base station 200 to charge the cleaning execution main body 100.

After the drying operation is finished, the sterilization corresponding to the ventilation duct S is basically finished, and then the charging state can be entered. Or, when the user has an emergency charging demand and triggers a charging instruction, the charging state can be directly entered.

In order to protect the power supply of the cleaning performing main body 100 when entering the charging state, the sterilizing factor generator 21 and the like may be turned off together with the electric structure.

At this moment, the cleaning execution main body 100 can be automatically charged after drying and disinfection, and also can be charged according to the power utilization requirement of the user, so that the power endurance of the cleaning execution main body 100 can be improved, and the user experience is good.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 11, the control method further includes:

s21, when the cleaning execution main body 100 is separated from the base station 200, responding to a cleaning instruction triggered by a user; the sterilizing factor generator 21 is provided on the cleaning performing body 100.

S22, controlling the cleaning execution main body 100 to execute cleaning operation on the cleaned surface;

wherein, in performing the cleaning operation, the cleaning liquid tank 23 of the cleaning execution main body 100 supplies the cleaning liquid to the wiper 12 or the surface to be cleaned, and the disinfecting factor generator 21 supplies the disinfecting substance to the cleaning liquid tank 23.

In step S21, it is first determined whether the cleaning execution main body 100 is separated from the base station 200. Specifically, one of the cleaning implement body 100 and the base station 200 may be provided with a sensor, and the other may be provided with a sensed member, and when the sensor fails to sense the sensed member, it indicates that the two are separated. When the two are separated, it indicates that the user may need the user to clean the cleaning surface of the performing body 100. Specifically, when a cleaning instruction triggered by the user is acquired, it indicates that the user needs the cleaning execution main body 100 to clean the surface to be cleaned. The acquisition of the cleaning instruction may be based on a switch case provided on the cleaning performing main body 100, or may be based on a mobile terminal (e.g., a mobile phone, a tablet, a smart watch) or the like communicatively connected to the cleaning performing main body 100. And when the cleaning instruction is acquired, responding to the cleaning instruction.

In step S22, the cleaning execution main body 100 is controlled to execute a cleaning operation on the surface to be cleaned in response to the cleaning instruction. When the cleaning operation is performed, the cleaning liquid tank 23 is controlled to supply cleaning liquid to the wiping member 12 or the surface to be cleaned (specifically, the water pump connected to the cleaning liquid tank 23 and the spraying structure is controlled to work, and the spraying structure sprays the cleaning liquid to the wiping member 12 and/or the surface to be cleaned). The disinfecting factor generator 21 is also controlled to supply a disinfecting substance to the cleaning liquid tank 23 when the cleaning operation is performed (the specific control process can refer to the above description).

At this time, when the cleaning execution body 100 cleans the surface to be cleaned, not only the cleaning liquid can be sprayed to realize wet cleaning, but also the surface to be cleaned and the wiper 12 can be sterilized and disinfected, and the cleaning effect is better.
