When at least one tank of the cleaning device comprises a sewer tank 21, the contents of said sewer tank are solid-liquid mixtures. And when the solid-liquid mixture amount of the sewage tank does not meet the requirement in the self-cleaning preparation condition and is smaller than a first threshold value, the controller controls the sewage draining device on the base station to work so as to be communicated with the sewage tank and drain the solid-liquid mixture in the sewage tank until the solid-liquid mixture amount in the sewage tank is smaller than the first threshold value. Further, when the solid-liquid mixture amount in the sewage tank does not meet the requirement in the self-cleaning preparation condition, which is smaller than a first threshold value, water is injected into the sewage tank to fill the sewage tank when the solid-liquid mixture in the sewage tank is discharged.

When at least one tank of the cleaning device comprises a clean water tank, the content of the clean water tank is cleaning liquid. When the cleaning liquid amount of the clean water tank does not meet the requirement in the self-cleaning preparation condition and is larger than a second threshold value, the controller controls the liquid injection device on the base station to work so as to be communicated with the clean water tank, and the cleaning liquid is injected into the clean water tank until the cleaning liquid amount in the clean water tank is larger than the second threshold value.

The present embodiment also provides a cleaning system, which includes the cleaning apparatus 1 and the base station 7, and is specifically described above, and will not be repeated here.

The present application implementation also provides a self-cleaning method of the cleaning apparatus 1, which will be described hereinafter by way of method embodiments.

Referring to fig. 1, 2 and 3, an embodiment of the present application provides a self-cleaning method of a cleaning apparatus 1, the cleaning method being applicable to the cleaning apparatus 1 and a base station 7 matched with the cleaning apparatus 1, the self-cleaning method including:

s101, acquiring the content of at least one box body on the cleaning equipment.

And S102, when the target quantity of the content in the at least one box body does not meet the target quantity of the self-cleaning preparation condition, the target box body is communicated, and the content is injected into the target box body or the content in the target box body is discharged until the self-cleaning preparation condition is met.

And S103, after the content of the at least one box body meets the self-cleaning preparation condition, controlling the cleaning equipment to execute a self-cleaning task so as to enable the cleaning equipment to execute the self-cleaning task according to the self-cleaning control instruction.

In the step S101, the at least one box includes, but is not limited to: clear water tank 6, sewage tank 21, detergent tank and functional liquid tank. The content in the clean water tank 6 can be clean water, the content in the sewage tank 21 can be sewage or a solid-liquid mixture, the content in the detergent tank can be a detergent, and the content in the functional liquid tank can be floor care essential oil, disinfectant, fragrance and the like. And the amount of the content in the acquisition tank can be detected by the corresponding liquid level detector. The present embodiment does not limit the installation position and kind of the liquid level detector.

In the above step S102, the amount of the content present in at least one tank does not satisfy the self-cleaning preparation condition, and the amount of the content of the clean water tank 6 may be less than the target amount. For example, the clean water tank 6 is in an empty state or the remaining amount of clean water is insufficient for the cleaning apparatus to complete the self-cleaning process. Alternatively, the amount of the contents of the sewage tank 21 is larger than a target amount, for example, the sewage tank 21 is in a full state or the remaining capacity in the sewage tank 21 cannot satisfy the sewage generated during the accommodating self-cleaning process. In practice, the target amount is the minimum amount for the fresh water tank 6 (e.g., a preset second threshold value, which may be determined based on the amount of water required to self-clean the device). When the clean water tank 6 does not meet the target amount of the self-cleaning preparation condition (if the requirement in the self-cleaning preparation condition is not met and is greater than the second threshold value), the liquid injection device on the base station 7 is communicated with the clean water, and the clean water is injected into the clean water tank 6, so that the clean water amount meets the target amount of the self-cleaning preparation condition. For the tank 21, the target amount is the maximum amount (e.g., a preset first threshold value, which may be determined based on the amount of sewage pumped up by the device when it is self-cleaning). When the sewage amount in the sewage tank 21 is larger than the target amount (e.g., smaller than the first threshold value as required in the self-cleaning preparation condition is not satisfied), the sewage discharging device on the base station 7 communicates with the sewage tank 21 and discharges the sewage in the sewage tank 21, thereby making the sewage amount in the sewage tank 21 satisfy the target amount of the self-cleaning preparation condition.

In step S103 described above, in one embodiment provided in the present application, the controller on the base station 7 sends a self-cleaning control instruction to the cleaning apparatus 1, and then the cleaning apparatus performs a self-cleaning task in accordance with the self-cleaning control instruction. Or the terminal equipment sends a self-cleaning control instruction to the cleaning equipment, for example, a user touches the self-cleaning function through an Application (APP) on the terminal equipment, and after the cleaning equipment receives the self-cleaning control instruction, the cleaning equipment executes a self-cleaning task according to the self-cleaning control instruction.

In one embodiment provided in the present application, the step S101 "obtaining the amount of the content of the at least one tank on the cleaning apparatus 1" may include the following steps:

s104, receiving detection information sent by the cleaning equipment, wherein the detection information comprises the content amount of the at least one box body; or alternatively

And S104', controlling at least one detection device on the base station to work so as to detect the content of the at least one box body.

In step S104, the sensor (e.g., the liquid level detector corresponding to the clean water tank and/or the liquid level detector corresponding to the sewage tank) on the cleaning device detects the content of at least one tank, and then the cleaning device sends the detection information containing the detection result (i.e., the content of at least one tank) to the base station (i.e., the execution body of the present embodiment). Of course, the sensor may be a weight detector, a visual recognition detector, or the like, in addition to the liquid level detector.

In step S104', the amount of the content of the detection tank may also be at least one detection device on the base station 7, which is controlled to operate to detect the amount of the content in the tank in real time. For example, in one embodiment provided herein, the detection means is a visual recognition module that visually recognizes the amount of contents in the case of the cleaning device when the cleaning device is placed on the placement site 71.

Referring to fig. 1 and 2, in one embodiment provided herein, at least one tank includes a sewage tank 21, and the contents of the sewage tank 21 are a solid-liquid mixture. Accordingly, in step S102, "when the target box whose content amount does not satisfy the self-cleaning preparation condition exists in the at least one box", the target box is connected, and the content in the target box is discharged until the self-cleaning preparation condition is satisfied ", the method may include the following steps:

and S105, when the solid-liquid mixture amount of the sewage tank does not meet the requirement in the self-cleaning preparation condition and is smaller than a first threshold value, controlling a sewage draining device on the base station to work so as to be communicated with the sewage tank, and discharging the solid-liquid mixture in the sewage tank until the solid-liquid mixture amount in the sewage tank is smaller than the first threshold value.

In the above steps, the first threshold may be set according to a specific practical situation, for example, the sewage tank 21 may be in a full state, or the residual capacity in the sewage tank 21 may not be able to accommodate sewage generated during self-cleaning.

Further, in one embodiment provided herein, the drain may be a drain pipe 722 and a valve connected to the drain pipe 722, one end of the drain pipe 722 is abutted to the drain port 74 of the sewage tank 21, and the other end of the drain pipe 722 can drain water to the outside. When the amount of the solid-liquid mixture in the sewage tank 21 is greater than the first threshold value, the solid-liquid mixture in the sewage tank 21 can be discharged through the sewage pipe 722 by controlling the valve on the sewage pipe 722 to be opened. In another embodiment provided herein, the sewage apparatus may include a sewage pipe 722 and a sewage pump, wherein the sewage pump is not only capable of communicating with the sewage pipe 722 but also capable of providing a certain suction force for the sewage pipe 722 when in operation, and when the sewage tank 21 needs to drain water, the solid-liquid mixture in the sewage tank 21 can be rapidly discharged through the sewage pipe 722 only by controlling the sewage pump to operate.

Referring to fig. 1 and 2, in one embodiment provided herein, at least one tank includes a clean water tank 6, and the content of the clean water tank 6 is cleaning solution or clean water. Accordingly, in step S102, "when the target box whose content amount does not satisfy the self-cleaning preparation condition exists in the at least one box", the target box is connected, and the content is injected into the target box until the self-cleaning preparation condition is satisfied ", the method may include the following steps:

And S106, when the cleaning liquid amount of the clean water tank does not meet the requirement of the self-cleaning preparation condition and is larger than a second threshold value, controlling the liquid injection device on the base station to work so as to communicate the clean water tank, and injecting the cleaning liquid into the clean water tank until the cleaning liquid amount in the clean water tank is larger than the second threshold value.

In step S106, the second threshold may be set according to a specific practical situation, for example, the clean water tank 6 may be in a completely empty state, or the amount of the remaining clean water in the clean water tank 6 may not satisfy the amount of clean water required in the self-cleaning process.

Further, in an embodiment provided in the present application, the priming device may be a priming pipe 721 and a valve connected to the priming pipe 721, one end of the priming pipe 721 is connected to a municipal tap water pipe network, where clean water on the municipal tap water pipe network has a certain water pressure, the other end is connected to a water supply port on the clean water tank 6 through a water supply pipe opposite interface, and when the clean water amount in the clean water tank 6 is smaller than a second threshold value, clean water can be replenished into the clean water tank 6 by controlling the valve on the priming pipe 721 to open. In another embodiment provided in the present application, the priming device may include a priming pipe 721 and a priming pump, one end of the priming pipe 721 is connected to a water supply tank on the base station 7, and when the clean water tank needs to be replenished with clean water, the clean water in the water supply tank can be replenished into the clean water tank only by controlling the priming pump.

Further, step S103 "after the amount of the content of the at least one tank satisfies the self-cleaning preparation condition, the step of sending a self-cleaning control instruction to the cleaning apparatus 1 to cause the cleaning apparatus 1 to perform a self-cleaning task according to the self-cleaning control instruction" in this embodiment may include the steps of:

and S107, determining a self-cleaning control strategy after the content amount of the at least one box body meets the self-cleaning preparation condition.

S108, according to the self-cleaning control strategy, the priming device on the base station is timely controlled to start and stop so as to fill water into the tray to provide self-cleaning water for the cleaning equipment, a rolling brush start and stop instruction is sent to the cleaning equipment, and a main motor start and stop instruction is sent to the cleaning equipment, so that the cleaning equipment is controlled to complete a self-cleaning task.

In the above step S108, the self-cleaning control strategy may include: the working mode, the working time length and the working sequence of the working parts. For example, in one implementation, the self-cleaning control strategy includes:

the first stage: injecting water into the tray for a first time to infiltrate the rolling brush or rag and soaking;

and a second stage: the rolling brush self-cleans for a second time period (namely, the rolling brush is controlled to rotate or the rag is controlled to reciprocate for the second time period);

And a third stage: the main motor is controlled to start for a third period of time to flush the suction line.

At least one of the second stage and the third stage can continuously fill water into the tray.

In the first stage, a water injection command can be sent to the cleaning device so that the cleaning device controls the clean water tank to drain water into the tray or controls the liquid injection device on the base station to inject water into the tray. The strategy can also comprise water injection flow.

The second stage may further include a rotational speed of the rolling brush, and the third stage may further include a power of the main motor.

Specifically, the self-cleaning control strategy may include a water injection speed and a water injection time, and the rolling brush 23 accommodated in the tray 8 can be fully soaked in clean water by reasonably controlling the water injection speed and the water injection time, so that the self-cleaning efficiency can be effectively improved while water resources are not wasted. The self-cleaning control strategy may further include a rotation speed and a rotation time of the rolling brush 23, for example, when the sewage in the sewage tank 21 is in a full state before self-cleaning, it may be determined that the dirt degree of the rolling brush 23 is larger, and the self-cleaning control strategy may increase the rotation speed and the rotation time of the rolling brush 23, so as to improve the self-cleaning efficiency of the rolling brush 23. In addition, the self-cleaning control strategy may further include power and operating time period of the main motor, for example, when water accumulated in the tray 8 is more, the power of the main motor may be increased to enable sewage in the tray 8 to be pumped away, and when water accumulated in the tray 8 is reduced, the power of the main motor may be appropriately reduced.

Further, in another embodiment provided in the present application, water can be injected into the tray 8 from the clean water tank 6 on the cleaning device, or water can be injected into the tray 8 from the clean water tank 6 and the priming device on the cleaning device. Specifically, the priming device is communicated to the tray 8 through a pipeline, and when water needs to be injected into the tray 8, clear water in the priming device can be injected into the tray 8 only by opening a valve on the pipeline. In addition, the clean water injected into the tray 8 by the liquid injection device can be directly flushed on the rolling brush 23 and then flows into the tray 8 from the rolling brush 23, so that not only can the water be successfully injected into the tray 8, but also the rolling brush 23 can be flushed along the way, and the self-cleaning efficiency is improved. When the clean water quantity in the clean water tank 6 meets the requirement, the clean water in the clean water tank 6 can be directly injected into the tray 8, and the clean water can also wash the rolling brush 23 in the water injection process, so that the self-cleaning efficiency is improved.

Further, in step S107 in the present embodiment, "determining a self-cleaning control strategy" includes the following steps:

s109, receiving the dirt information sent by the cleaning equipment or detecting the dirt information of the cleaning equipment.

S110, determining the self-cleaning control strategy based on the dirt information.

In step S109, the contamination information of the cleaning apparatus may include, but is not limited to: dirt information of the roll brush, dirt information of sewage in the sewage tank, dirt information of the suction pipe, etc. The dirt information of the cleaning device can be detected by at least one sensor on the cleaning device and sent to the base station; alternatively, the soiling information of the cleaning device is detected by at least one sensor on the base station.

Further, the self-cleaning control strategy includes, but is not limited to, the number of self-cleaning times, the self-cleaning step, the flow rate and the working time of the priming device, the rotation speed and the rotation time of the rolling brush 23, the power and the running time of the main motor, and the like.

In one embodiment provided herein, the self-cleaning control strategy may include a first control strategy for self-cleaning the roll brush and suction line and a second control strategy for self-cleaning the tank. Correspondingly, step S108 "in this embodiment, according to the self-cleaning control policy, timely controls the start and stop of the liquid injection device on the base station to inject water into the tray to provide self-cleaning water for the cleaning device, sends a rolling brush start and stop instruction to the cleaning device, and sends a main motor start and stop instruction to the cleaning device, so that the cleaning device is controlled to complete the self-cleaning task", and may include the following steps:

S1081, according to the first control strategy, timely controlling the priming device on the base station to start and stop so as to inject cleaning liquid into the tray to provide self-cleaning water for the cleaning equipment, sending a rolling brush start and stop instruction to the cleaning equipment, and sending a main motor start and stop instruction to the cleaning equipment, so that the cleaning equipment is controlled to finish self-cleaning tasks of rolling brush and suction pipeline. The start-stop instruction comprises an opening instruction and a closing instruction, and the specific instruction type sent by the cleaning equipment can be determined according to the self-cleaning step of the cleaning equipment. In the self-cleaning process, the rolling brush and the main motor can work alternately and independently or cooperatively. For example, in one embodiment, after the cleaning device starts a self-cleaning command, the priming device on the base station is first controlled to start to inject cleaning liquid into the tray, and after a period of time or after detecting that the liquid injection amount meets the requirement, the priming device is controlled to shut down. And then the cleaning equipment sends a rolling brush opening instruction to enable the rolling brush to complete self-cleaning, then the cleaning equipment sends a closing instruction and simultaneously sends a main motor opening instruction to enable the pipeline to complete self-cleaning, and finally the main motor closing instruction is sent to complete the self-cleaning task.

S1082, alternately or simultaneously controlling the sewage draining device and the priming device on the base station to work according to the second control strategy so as to flush the sewage tank; the sewage draining device is used for draining the solid-liquid mixture in the sewage tank when in operation, and the liquid injecting device is used for injecting cleaning liquid into the sewage tank when in operation. In step S1081, the first control strategy may include: the liquid injection time of the liquid injection device, the liquid injection flow rate and/or the liquid injection time period, etc. For example, in one embodiment provided herein, the priming device may provide self-cleaning water to the tray 8 by providing a sufficient amount of self-cleaning water to the tray 8 before the roller brush 23 rotates to self-clean, or by continuously providing cleaning water to the tray 8 during rotation of the roller brush 23. Further, the first control strategy may further include: the rotation time period, the rotation rate, the period of rotation, and the like of the rolling brush 23. For example, in one embodiment provided herein, different rotational speeds may be used for the roller brush 23 for different degrees of soiling. In addition, the period of time for rotating the rolling brush 23 can be controlled to improve the self-cleaning efficiency of the rolling brush 23, for example, when enough self-cleaning water is contained in the tray 8, the rolling brush 23 is indirectly controlled to rotate and stop rotating during the self-cleaning of the rolling brush 23, so that the rolling brush 23 can alternately perform the self-cleaning and soaking processes, thereby improving the self-cleaning efficiency of the rolling brush 23. Still further, the first control strategy may also be the power, the working time length, the working time period, etc. of the main motor. For example, in one embodiment provided herein, the self-cleaning of the cleaning apparatus also includes self-cleaning of the pipe, and by controlling the power of the main motor and the period of operation (i.e., after the self-cleaning stage of the roller brush), water in the tray 8 can be drawn into the pipe and water flow in the pipe can flush the pipe. In addition, the main motor can be controlled to change the power according to the amount of self-cleaning water in the tray 8, so that water in the tray 8 is prevented from overflowing.

In step S1082, in order to flush the sewage tank 21, the priming device is further connected to the sewage tank 21 through a priming line (e.g., a second line), and when the sewage in the sewage tank 21 is drained, the priming device outputs clean water to flush the sewage tank 21. The second control strategy may include an operation period of the sewage drain, an operation period of the priming device, a water supply amount of the priming device, and the like. The priming device and the sewage draining device can work simultaneously or alternatively. For example, the sewage draining device operates simultaneously with the priming device, and the cleaning liquid is injected from the priming port of the sewage tank while the sewage is discharged from the sewage draining port of the sewage tank. The liquid injection port and the sewage drain are preferably located at two opposite positions of the sewage tank, for example, the liquid injection port is located at the top of the sewage tank, and the sewage drain is located at the bottom of the sewage tank. For another example, in the alternate operation mode, the sewage draining device drains the sewage or the solid-liquid mixture in the sewage tank 21, and the liquid injecting device injects the cleaning liquid into the sewage tank 21 to flush the sewage tank 21.

In one embodiment provided herein, the self-cleaning method of the cleaning device 1 further comprises the steps of:

And S114, after the cleaning equipment completes the self-cleaning task, controlling a sewage discharging device on the base station to work so as to be communicated with the sewage tank, and discharging the solid-liquid mixture in the sewage tank until the sewage tank is empty.

In the above step S114, after the self-cleaning task is finished, the solid-liquid mixture in the sewage tank 21 is discharged, so that the sewage tank is conveniently washed, and in particular, a cleaning apparatus generates a large amount of sewage during the self-cleaning process, and the sewage is collected in the sewage tank 21 under the suction force provided by the main motor. Therefore, after the self-cleaning task is finished, the sewage is discharged out of the sewage tank 21 in time, so that bacteria breeding is avoided, and the sewage is convenient for a user to directly use.

Referring to fig. 1, 2 and 6, in one embodiment provided herein, the self-cleaning method of the cleaning apparatus 1 further comprises the steps of:

s115, after the cleaning equipment completes the self-cleaning task, a rolling brush starting instruction is sent to the cleaning equipment.

And S116, controlling the drying device on the base station to work so as to dry the cleaning equipment.

And S117, after the preset drying requirement is met, sending a rolling brush stopping instruction to the cleaning equipment, and closing the drying device.

S118, working in a charging mode to charge the cleaning equipment.

In step S115, a roller brush 23 start command is sent to the cleaning apparatus to rotate the roller brush 23, facilitating uniform drying of the roller brush 23. In addition, when the rolling brush 23 rotates, the main motor can be started at the same time, and the suction force generated by the main motor can enable the drying air flow to dry the pipeline on the equipment body and the sewage tank 21 at the same time when the rolling brush 23 is dried.

In step S116, the drying device may be an air drying device, which is operable to output a warm drying air stream. In addition, the drying device may be a heating device, which is disposed in the tray 8, heats the air in the tray 8 by heating, and then the main motor operates, and the generated suction force drives the heated air flow to dry the roller brush 23.

In step S118, in implementation, the base station 7 is also a charging module, and the output port of the charging module is disposed on the placement position 71, and when the cleaning device is placed on the placement position 71 on the base station 7, the output port of the charging module will interface with the charging receiving port on the cleaning device, so as to realize charging of the cleaning device.

The above-described embodiments control the cleaning apparatus to self-clean by the amount of the contents of the housing of the cleaning apparatus. In essence, it extends to other components of the cleaning apparatus in addition to the tank contents. That is, the technical scheme provided by the application can also control the self-cleaning of the cleaning device by detecting whether at least one component on the cleaning device meets the self-cleaning preparation condition. That is, the present embodiment also provides another self-cleaning method of the cleaning apparatus 1, which is suitable for the cleaning apparatus 1 and the base station 7 associated with the cleaning apparatus 1.

The cleaning method comprises the following steps:

s201, detecting whether at least one component on the cleaning device meets the self-cleaning preparation condition.

S202, if there is a target component that does not satisfy the self-cleaning preparation condition, communicating with the cleaning apparatus to cooperate with the cleaning apparatus so that the target component satisfies the self-cleaning preparation condition.

And S203, controlling the cleaning equipment to execute a self-cleaning task after the at least one component meets the self-cleaning preparation condition.

In step S201, at least one component includes, but is not limited to, a sewage tank 21, a clean water tank 6, a battery, a detergent tank, a roller brush 23, and the like. In this step, the detection of the cleanliness of the roller brush 23 is included in addition to the above-mentioned detection of the capacity of the sewage tank 21 or the clean water tank 6 to determine whether or not it satisfies the self-cleaning preparation condition. For example, when the cleaning apparatus has completed a self-cleaning task, a drying task, a charging task, or the like, in a state where the cleaning apparatus is clean, the user removes the cleaning apparatus from the base station 7, but returns the cleaning apparatus to the base station 7 without performing a cleaning operation using the cleaning apparatus. At this time, the humidity of the rolling brush can be detected, and it can be judged whether the cleaning apparatus satisfies the self-cleaning preparation condition. If the roll brush is dry, it can be judged that the cleaning apparatus does not satisfy the self-cleaning preparation condition. If the rolling brush is wet and the dirt degree reaches the threshold value, the cleaning equipment can be judged to meet the self-cleaning preparation condition.

In step S202, the number of target components may be one or more, and for example, the plurality of target components may be a battery, a rolling brush 23, and a sewage tank 21. When the cleaning apparatus is placed on the base station 7, the battery power of the cleaning apparatus, the cleanliness of the drum brush 23, the content of the fresh water bucket, the content of the sewage tank, the main motor temperature, the battery temperature, and the like are detected. If one or more of the above-mentioned components which do not satisfy the self-cleaning preparation condition are detected to satisfy the self-cleaning preparation condition, the base station 7 cooperates with the cleaning apparatus. For example, when the temperature of the main motor is too high (e.g., greater than the third threshold), the base station may first charge the cleaning device to reserve a cooling period for the main motor, until the temperature of the main motor is lower than the third threshold. For another example, the battery power is too low (for example, the power is smaller than the fourth threshold), and the battery power which does not meet the requirement in the self-cleaning preparation condition is higher than the fourth threshold, at this time, the base station charges the cleaning device first, and the battery power is higher than the fourth threshold.

s203, after the cleaning apparatus 1 completes the self-cleaning task, controlling the cleaning apparatus 1 to perform the component maintenance task.

Among other things, maintenance tasks include, but are not limited to: a roll brush 23 sterilization task, a roll brush 23 drying task, an equipment body drying task, a base station 7 sterilization task, a base station 7 drying task, and the like. The maintenance task can not only dry the water stain on the cleaning equipment and prevent bacteria from breeding, but also prepare for the next cleaning in advance.

In addition, in one embodiment provided herein, the self-cleaning method of the cleaning apparatus 1 further comprises the steps of:

s204, after the component maintenance task is completed, charging the cleaning apparatus 1.

After the maintenance task of the composable is finished, the cleaning equipment is timely charged, so that the duration of the cleaning equipment can be improved when the cleaning equipment is cleaned next time, and better experience is brought to users.

In summary, after the cleaning device is placed on the base station, the base station can automatically complete the preliminary work before self-cleaning and can assist the cleaning device to perform self-cleaning. The cleaning equipment can automatically complete the whole self-cleaning process without human intervention, so that the cleaning equipment can be ensured to be self-cleaned, and further cleaning and maintenance work by a user are not required, and good use experience is brought to the user.

In order to facilitate understanding of the technical scheme of the application, a specific application scenario is given below to describe in detail a self-cleaning method of the cleaning device provided by the application.

Application scenario one:

after the cleaning device completes the cleaning operation, the cleaning device needs to be cleaned and maintained at this time, and the user only needs to place the cleaning device on the base station. The base station firstly judges whether at least one part of the cleaning equipment meets the self-cleaning preparation condition, and when a target part which does not meet the self-cleaning preparation condition exists, the base station assists the cleaning equipment to perform corresponding treatment on the target part, such as emptying solid-liquid mixture in a sewage tank, filling cleaning liquid into a clean water tank and the like, so that the self-cleaning preparation condition is met. After determining that the partial components meet the self-cleaning preparation condition, the base station will send a self-cleaning control instruction to the cleaning apparatus to cause the cleaning apparatus to complete the self-cleaning task. The whole process does not need user intervention, the base station and the cleaning equipment work cooperatively, and self-cleaning tasks and maintenance before use (such as sewage bucket emptying and drying, rolling brush drying, suction pipeline drying, battery full charge, clean water tank filling with cleaning liquid and the like) are completed. When a user wants to use the cleaning device, the user can directly take down the cleaning device to perform cleaning operation so as to clean the floor of the home without considering dumping of the sewage bucket, water injection of the clean water tank and the like.

Application scene two

The base station matched with the cleaning equipment is provided with a sewage drain pipe and a liquid injection pipe, wherein the sewage drain pipe can directly drain water into a sewer, and the liquid injection pipe can directly obtain clear water from a tap water pipe network or a water storage barrel on the base station. The sewage pipeline on the base station is in butt joint communication with the sewage tank on the cleaning equipment, and the liquid injection pipeline is in butt joint communication with the clean water tank on the cleaning equipment. After the cleaning equipment completes self-cleaning of the rolling brush and the suction pipeline according to the technical scheme, the priming device and the sewage draining device on the base station work alternately so as to inject cleaning liquid into the sewage tank through the priming pipeline after the sewage tank is emptied through the sewage draining pipeline of the sewage draining device, so as to flush the sewage tank; when the cleaning solution in the sewage tank reaches a certain value (such as a fifth threshold, which is not limited in the embodiment), the priming device stops working, the sewage draining device starts working again, and the sewage tank is emptied. Thus, the sewage tank can be cleaned by continuously reciprocating for several times. The user needs to disassemble the sewage tank and manually brush the sewage tank. The sewage tank is clean, and bacterial growth can be reduced.

Application scenario three

After the self-cleaning of the cleaning equipment is finished, the base station can assist the cleaning equipment to finish maintenance tasks, such as disinfection and drying treatment of the rolling brush after the self-cleaning of the rolling brush is finished, drying treatment of pipelines and sewage tanks of the cleaning equipment and the like, and after the maintenance tasks are finished, the base station can also charge the cleaning equipment. After the cleaning equipment is self-cleaned and fully charged, the user can wait for taking down the cleaning equipment at any time. In the whole process, the user does not need to insert hands, and the user experience is good.
