Referring to fig. 1, a cleaning assembly 100 of the present invention may include a delivery conduit 10 and a sterilising medium generating apparatus 20.

The sterilizing medium producing device 20 is configured to communicate with the water tank 202 of the base station 200 through the transport pipe 10. The sterilizing medium generating device 20 is arranged to supply a sterilizing medium to the transfer line 10.

The cleaning module 100 generates a sterilizing medium by the sterilizing medium generating device 20, and the sterilizing medium can enter the conveying pipe 10 to sterilize the conveying pipe 10 and can reach the inner structure of the water tank 202 along the conveying pipe 10 to sterilize, thereby realizing the effect of deep sterilization.

In fig. 1, the cleaning assembly 100 may deliver fluid through the delivery conduit 10 so that a corresponding cleaning operation or a sewage collection operation may be accomplished. In the case where fluid remains in the transfer pipe 10, space is easily provided for the growth of details. Because the pipeline structure is basically of a slender structure, the interior of the pipeline is difficult to clean, and the sterilizing effect of the pipeline can be affected.

In fig. 1, a base station 200 may include a housing 201. The cleaning assembly 100 may be disposed within the housing 201. The sterilizing medium producing device 20 may be located at one side of the transfer duct 10 formed in the radial direction. The sterilizing medium generating device 20 may be disposed close to the processor 40, so as to facilitate wiring between the processor 40 and the sterilizing medium generating device 20, and further achieve a control effect of the processor 40 on the sterilizing medium generating device 20.

In the present invention, the sterilizing medium is generated by the sterilizing medium generating device 20, and in the case that the fluid is present in the transport pipe 10, the sterilizing medium may enter the transport pipe 10 and dissolve with the fluid, so that it may follow the fluid to a position where sterilization is required, such as the transport pipe 10, the water tank 202 of the base station 200. Wherein the sterilizing medium can perform a sterilizing function through a mixture formed by being dissolved with the fluid. The sterilizing medium may include at least one of ozone, chlorine dioxide, bromine vapor, hydrogen peroxide.

In addition, when cleaning assembly 100 is in different sterilization modes, the sterilization media that sterilization media generating device 20 is capable of generating may be the same or different. In some cases, sterilization medium generating device 20 may generate ozone and provide ozone to delivery conduit 10 when cleaning assembly 100 is in a fresh water sterilization mode. While the cleaning assembly 100 is in the sewage sterilization mode, the sterilization medium generating device 20 may generate chlorine gas and supply the chlorine gas to the delivery conduit 10. When the cleaning assembly 100 is in a mode of decontaminating, the sterilizing medium generating device 20 may first generate chlorine dioxide and provide chlorine dioxide to the delivery conduit 10 to sterilize the fluid within the first conduit 11, and then may generate bromine vapor and provide bromine vapor to the delivery conduit 10 to sterilize the fluid within the second conduit 12. Referring to fig. 1, processor 40 may control sterilization medium generating device 20 to generate different types of sterilization mediums according to different sterilization modes.

Referring to fig. 1, the conveying pipe 10 includes a first pipe 11 and a second pipe 12. The sterilizing medium producing device 20 is configured to communicate with the water inlet 203 of the water tank 202 through the first pipe 11 and with the drain 204 of the water tank 202 through the second pipe 12.

Thus, the effect of sterilizing the pipeline can be realized.

Specifically, the delivery conduit 10 may deliver a first fluid through a first conduit 11 and a second fluid through a second conduit 12. The first fluid may flow out of the water inlet 203 within the first conduit 11. The second fluid may be located within the tank 202 and may be able to enter the second conduit 12 through the drain 204.

The first fluid may be used to clean dirt. The first fluid may be clear water. The first fluid may form a second fluid after being used to clean the soil. The second fluid may be sewage. The cleaning device can prevent sewage from flowing and splashing everywhere to increase cleaning work while realizing corresponding cleaning effects.

For the cleaning assembly 100, the first fluid may be provided through the first pipe 11 for cleaning, and the sterilizing medium generated by the sterilizing medium generating device 20 may enter the first pipe 11 to be dissolved in the first fluid, so as to perform a sterilizing effect on the first fluid and the first pipe 11. In the case that the first fluid enters the water tank 202, the first fluid may wash the object to be washed located in the water tank 202, and the sterilization medium may play a sterilization effect on the object to be washed. The cleaning assembly 100 may further collect the sewage formed after cleaning through the second pipe 12, and the sterilizing medium generated by the sterilizing medium generating device 20 may enter the second pipe 12 to be dissolved in the second fluid, so as to perform a sterilizing effect on the second fluid and the second pipe 12.

And, the delivery of fluid through the first and second conduits 11, 12 allows the first conduit 11, the water tank 202, the second conduit 12, and the object to be cleaned to form a cleaning chain of the cleaning assembly 100. In the cleaning chain, the sterilizing medium generator 20 can sterilize the fluid before and after cleaning, and can greatly reduce the living space of microorganisms such as bacteria in the conveying pipeline 10, thereby realizing the full-chain sterilization of the cleaning assembly 100.

In addition, the sterilizing medium generating device 20 may directly communicate with the first pipe 11 and the second pipe 12, and in the case where the sterilizing medium is generated by the sterilizing medium generating device 20, the sterilizing medium may directly enter the first pipe 11 and the second pipe 12, respectively.

Referring to fig. 1, the cleaning assembly 100 includes a control valve 30. The sterilizing medium generating device 20 is connected to the control valve 30. The control valve 30 connects the first pipe 11 and the second pipe 12. The control valve 30 is configured to control whether the sterilising medium generating apparatus 20 and the first conduit 11 are in communication and whether the sterilising medium generating apparatus 20 and the second conduit 12 are in communication.

Thus, the sterilization effect can be ensured.

Specifically, in fig. 1, in the case that the first fluid is present in the first pipe 11, the control valve 30 may selectively communicate the sterilizing medium generating device 20 with the first pipe 11 so that the sterilizing medium can enter into the first pipe 11 to perform a sterilizing effect on the first fluid, the first pipe 11 and the water tank 202; in the absence of the first fluid in first conduit 11, control valve 30 may be selected to block sterilization medium generating device 20 from first conduit 11 so that sterilization medium does not enter first conduit 11.

Similarly, in the case of a second fluid within second conduit 12, control valve 30 may selectively communicate sterilising medium generating apparatus 20 with second conduit 12 to enable sterilising medium to enter second conduit 12 to act as a sterilising effect on the second fluid, second conduit 12; in the absence of the second fluid within second conduit 12, control valve 30 may be selected to block sterilization medium generating device 20 from second conduit 12 so that sterilization medium does not enter second conduit 12.

In other cases, the control valve 30 may also communicate with the sterilizing medium producing device 20 and the first duct 11, and with the sterilizing medium producing device 20 and the second duct 12, so that the sterilizing medium can enter the first duct 11 and the second duct 12, respectively, to exert the effect of synchronous sterilization. The control valve 30 may also block the sterilizing medium producing device 20 and the first pipe 11 and block the sterilizing medium producing device 20 and the second pipe 12 so that the sterilizing medium cannot enter the first pipe 11 and the second pipe 12 to stop sterilizing.

On the basis of the above, the control valve 30 is controlled to enable the sterilizing medium generating device 20 to be communicated or separated from one of the first pipeline 11 and the second pipeline 12, so that the first pipeline 11 can be matched with the first fluid or the second pipeline 12 can be matched with the second fluid, and the sterilizing effect can be further ensured.

In addition, the control valve 30 may be a solenoid valve.

Referring to fig. 1, the cleaning assembly 100 may include a processor 40. The processor 40 is electrically connected to the control valve 30. The processor 40 is configured to control the operation of the control valve 30 to communicate or isolate the sterilising medium generating apparatus 20 from the first conduit 11 and to communicate or isolate the sterilising medium generating apparatus 20 from the second conduit 12.

Thus, the applicability of the sterilization function is improved.

It will be appreciated that a user may have a corresponding need for sterile cleaning of the delivery conduit 10. The user may only need to sterilize the first pipe 11, may only need to sterilize the second pipe 12, or in case of performing a cleaning function by the cleaning assembly 100, the cleaning assembly 100 may be required to sterilize the first pipe 11 and the second pipe 12 by itself according to a cleaning step. In these cases, a corresponding sterilization mode may be provided for the cleaning assembly 100 to accommodate different use requirements.

In particular, the cleaning assembly 100 may have different sterilization modes. The sterilization modes may include a first sterilization mode, a second sterilization mode, and a third sterilization mode.

When the cleaning assembly 100 is in the first sterilization mode, the processor 40 may output a first control signal to the control valve 30, and the control valve 30 acts accordingly to cause the sterilization medium generating device 20 to communicate with the first duct 11 and to block from the second duct 12, so that only the first duct 11 may be sterilized. The first control signal may be generated by the processor 40 in response to a first operation of the user, may be generated by the cleaning assembly 100 by supplying the first fluid to the first pipe 11 to perform the water inlet operation, or may be generated by determining that the first pipe 11 has the first fluid therein. Determining whether the first fluid is present in the first conduit 11 may be achieved by providing a corresponding sensor.

When the cleaning assembly 100 is in the second sterilization mode, the processor 40 may output a second control signal to the control valve 30, and the control valve 30 correspondingly acts to cause the sterilization medium generating device 20 to communicate with the second pipeline 12 and to be blocked from the first pipeline 11, so that only the second pipeline 12 may be sterilized. The second control signal may be generated by the processor 40 in response to a second operation by the user, may be generated by the cleaning assembly 100 by supplying the second fluid to the second conduit 12 to perform the water inlet operation, or may be generated by determining that the second conduit 12 has the second fluid therein. Determining whether the second fluid is present in the second conduit 12 may be accomplished by providing a corresponding sensor.

When the cleaning assembly 100 is in the third sterilization mode, the cleaning assembly 100 may automatically complete an operational sequence including influent cleaning and effluent collection. In the whole action flow, the operation of water inlet cleaning and the operation of sewage collection are sequentially performed, namely, the first fluid is conveyed through the first pipeline 11, and the second fluid is conveyed through the second pipeline 12.

In performing the act of water-in washing, the washing assembly 100 may cause a first fluid to enter the first conduit 11 in preparation for delivery of the first fluid to the respective water tanks 202 through the first conduit 11. Before the first fluid is delivered to the water tank 202, that is, before the first fluid is output from the first pipe 11, the processor 40 may output a third control signal to the control valve 30, where the control valve 30 may communicate the sterilizing medium generating device 20 with the first pipe 11, so that the sterilizing medium enters the first pipe 11 and is dissolved in the first fluid, at this time, the first pipe 11 may be used as a main sterilizing object, and the control valve 30 may partition the sterilizing medium generating device 20 and the second pipe 12 according to the third control signal, so that the sterilizing medium may intensively enter the first pipe 11 to ensure a sterilizing effect. The first fluid may then be output along the first conduit 11 into the tank 202, and the sterilising medium may then be able to sterilise the tank 202 and the object to be cleaned located in the tank 202.

When the first fluid is delivered to the tank 202 for cleaning, the first fluid may form a second fluid in the tank 202. When the cleaning assembly 100 sucks the second fluid through the second pipe 12, i.e. collects the second fluid, the processor 40 may output a fourth control signal to the control valve 30, where the control valve 30 may communicate the sterilizing medium generating device 20 with the second pipe 12, so that the sterilizing medium enters the second pipe 12 and is dissolved in the second fluid to perform sterilization, at this time, the second pipe 12 may be used as a main sterilization object, and the control valve 30 may block the sterilizing medium generating device 20 and the first pipe 11 according to the fourth control signal, so that the sterilizing medium may intensively enter the second pipe 12 to ensure a sterilization effect.

The third control signal and the fourth control signal may be generated by the processor 40 according to the currently executed operation, so that the sterilizing medium generating device 20 and the control valve 30 may cooperatively generate corresponding sterilizing effects in the whole operation flow, and no human intervention or manual operation by a user may be required.

On the basis of the above, the user can select a corresponding sterilization mode according to different sterilization requirements, so that the applicability of the cleaning assembly 100 can be improved.

Referring to fig. 1, the cleaning assembly 100 may include a first connection tube 51. One end of the first connection pipe 51 is connected to the sterilizing medium generating device 20. The other end of the first connection pipe 51 is connected to the first pipe 11. The first connection pipe 51 is disposed obliquely from the first pipe 11 in a direction approaching the water tank 202.

The cleaning assembly 100 may also include a second connecting tube 52. One end of the second connection pipe 52 is connected to the sterilizing medium generating device 20. The other end of the second connection pipe 52 is connected to the second pipe 12. The second connection pipe 52 is disposed obliquely from the second pipe 12 in a direction away from the water tank 202.

Thus, the sterilization efficiency can be improved.

In fig. 1, the extending direction of the first connection pipe 51 may be denoted as A1 direction, the extending direction of the first pipe 11 may be denoted as A2 direction, the extending direction of the second connection pipe 52 may be denoted as A3 direction, and the extending direction of the second pipe 12 may be denoted as A4 direction. The angle between the A1 direction and the A2 direction may be an acute angle. The angle between the A3 direction and the A4 direction may be an acute angle.

When the fluid is delivered to the first pipe 11, the first connection pipe 51 is inclined from the first pipe 11 in a direction approaching the water tank 202, so that part of the fluid can more easily enter the first connection pipe 51 and reach the position of the sterilizing medium generating device 20. When the sterilizing medium generating device 20 is communicated with the first pipe 11, the sterilizing medium generated by the sterilizing medium generating device 20 can be directly dissolved in the fluid in the first connecting pipe 51 and flow along with the fluid, so that the sterilizing medium reaches the position to be sterilized more quickly. When the fluid is supplied to the second pipe 12, the second connection pipe 52 is disposed obliquely from the second pipe 12 in a direction away from the water tank 202, so that a part of the fluid can more easily enter the second connection pipe 52 and reach the location of the sterilizing medium generating device 20. When the sterilizing medium generating device 20 and the second pipe 12 are connected, the sterilizing medium generated by the sterilizing medium generating device 20 may be directly dissolved in the fluid in the second connection pipe 52 and flow along with the fluid, so that the sterilizing medium reaches the position to be sterilized more quickly.

On the basis of the above, the time required for the sterilizing medium to reach the position requiring sterilization can be reduced, so that the sterilization efficiency of the fluid can be improved.

In other cases, the extending direction of the first connecting pipe 51 may be perpendicular to the extending direction of the first duct 11, and the extending direction of the second connecting pipe 52 may be perpendicular to the extending direction of the second duct 12.

The cleaning assembly 100 may include a first tank 53 (not shown), the first tank 53 may be connected to the first pipe 11, and the first tank 53 may be configured to provide a first fluid for cleaning to the first pipe 11.

The cleaning assembly 100 may include a second tank 54 (not shown), the second tank 54 being connected to the second conduit 12, the second tank 54 being configured to collect a second fluid flowing from the tank 202 through the second conduit 12.

In this way, the user's operation can be simplified.

Specifically, in fig. 1, the water tank 202 may be located on the bottom side of the cleaning assembly 100. Both the first tank 53 and the second tank 54 may be located at the top of the cleaning assembly 100. The first water tank 53 may store a first fluid. The second tank 54 may store a second fluid.

Throughout the cleaning process, the cleaning assembly 100 may deliver the first fluid through the first conduit 11 that communicates with the first tank 53 such that the first fluid flows from top to bottom to the sump 202 for cleaning. The first fluid may form a second fluid within the sump 202 due to the cleaning. The formed second fluid may be located within the sump 202. The cleaning assembly 100 may deliver the second fluid through the second conduit 12 that communicates with the second tank 54 such that the second fluid flows from below up into the second tank 54 to collect within the second tank 54.

The cleaning assembly 100 may include a first valve (not shown). The first valve may be disposed between the first water tank 53 and the first pipe 11. The first valve may communicate the first tank 53 and the first conduit 11 to enable the first fluid to be delivered from within the first tank 53 along the first conduit 11. The first valve may close the first water tank 53 and the first pipe 11 to enable the first fluid to be stored in the first water tank 53.

The cleaning assembly 100 may include a second valve (not shown). A second valve may be disposed between the second tank 54 and the second conduit 12. The second valve may communicate the second tank 54 with the second conduit 12 to enable the second fluid to be delivered from within the second conduit 12 to the second tank 54. The second valve may close the second tank 54 and the second conduit 12 to enable the second fluid to be stored within the second tank 54.

The cleaning assembly 100 may include a first pump (not shown). The first pump may be connected to the first pipe 11. The first pump may create a negative pressure in the first conduit 11, thereby enabling the first fluid located in the first tank 53 to enter the first conduit 11.

The cleaning assembly 100 may include a second pump (not shown). A second pump may be connected to the second conduit 12. The second pump may create a negative pressure within the second conduit 12, thereby enabling the second fluid located within the tank 202 to be drawn into the second conduit 12 and transported along the second conduit 12.

On the above basis, the first tank 53 and/or the second tank 54 may be positioned at the top of the washing assembly 100, so that the tank may be positioned closer to the user in the height direction, so that the user may more easily operate the tank, such as replenishing the first fluid into the first tank 53 and pouring the second fluid into the second tank 54. The basin 202 is located at a lower elevation on the underside of the cleaning assembly 100, and when the first fluid is used to clean within the basin 202, the first fluid can be sputtered out to a smaller area, and even if sputtering occurs, the user can more easily clean the sputtered first fluid.

In fig. 1, the cleaning assembly 100 may include a heating device 60. The heating device 60 is used for heating the first fluid.

Thus, the cleaning effect can be improved.

In particular, in fig. 1, the heating device 60 may be arranged close to the first duct 11. The heating device 60 may be electrically connected to the processor 40. The processor 40 may control the heating means 60 to be turned on to heat the first pipe 11.

The first fluid, while being transported along the first pipe 11, will be heated by the heating means 60 and will thus have a higher temperature when used for cleaning. Thus, when the first fluid is used for cleaning objects with stains (such as greasy stains) which are difficult to clean, the first fluid with higher temperature can enable substances forming the stains to be more easily dissolved in the first fluid, so that the cleaning effect can be improved.

In fig. 1, a part of the structure of the heating device 60 may be disposed around the junction of the first pipe 11 and the first connection pipe 51, or around the junction of the second pipe 12 and the second connection pipe 52. In some cases, after the sterilizing medium is dissolved in the heated first fluid or the heated second fluid, the formed sterilizing medium is easier to diffuse in the pipeline, so that the sterilizing area can be increased, and the sterilizing effect can be further improved.

The sterilizing medium may include at least one of ozone, chlorine dioxide, bromine vapor, hydrogen peroxide.

Thus, the effect of continuously sterilizing the fluid can be realized.

Specifically, the sterilization medium described above may be prepared by the sterilization medium generating device 20, so that the sterilization medium can be continuously supplied to the fluid to be dissolved. Moreover, the sterilization medium can be continuously remained in the fluid, so that microorganisms such as bacteria are difficult to survive in the fluid, the effective sterilization time of the fluid can be prolonged, and the continuous sterilization effect is achieved.

In addition, compared with the related technology in the field, for example, a corresponding bactericide (such as a bactericide substance with silver content) is added into a water tank, the use cost of the specific bactericide is obviously increased because the bactericide belongs to consumable materials, and only partial areas can be sterilized due to the use cost, so that the sterilizing medium is difficult to apply to sterilization of the whole cleaning structure. And the related art also can sterilize through ultraviolet irradiation, which often makes the effective action time of sterilization shorter and difficult to realize the effect of deep sterilization.

Referring to fig. 1 and 2, a control method of the present invention may be used to clean an assembly 100. The cleaning assembly 100 may be used with a base station 200. The cleaning assembly 100 may include a sterilising medium generating apparatus 20 and a delivery conduit 10. The sterilizing medium producing device 20 is arranged to communicate with the water tank 202 of the base station 200 via the transport pipe 10. The conveying pipeline 10 comprises a first pipeline 11 and a second pipeline 12, wherein the first pipeline 11 is communicated with a water inlet 203 of the water tank 202, and the second pipeline 12 is communicated with a drain 204 of the water tank 202. The control method may include:

01: in response to the sterilization signal, controlling the sterilization medium generating device 20 to supply the sterilization medium to the transport pipe 10;

02: according to the sterilization signal, the sterilization medium generating device 20 is made to communicate with one of the first pipe 11 and the second pipe 12, and the sterilization medium generating device 20 is made to block the other of the first pipe 11 and the second pipe 12.

The control method of the present invention may be implemented by the cleaning assembly 100 of the present invention. Specifically, referring to fig. 3, cleaning assembly 100 may include a sterilising medium generating apparatus 20, a control valve 30 and a processor 40. The sterilizing medium producing device 20 is arranged to communicate with the water tank 202 of the base station 200 via the transport pipe 10. The conveying pipeline 10 comprises a first pipeline 11 and a second pipeline 12, wherein the first pipeline 11 is communicated with a water inlet 203 of the water tank 202, and the second pipeline 12 is communicated with a drain 204 of the water tank 202. The processor 40 may be configured to: in response to the sterilization signal, controlling the sterilization medium generating device 20 to supply the sterilization medium to the transport pipe 10; according to the sterilization signal, the sterilization medium generating device 20 is made to communicate with one of the first pipe 11 and the second pipe 12, and the sterilization medium generating device 20 is made to block the other of the first pipe 11 and the second pipe 12.

The control method and the cleaning assembly 100 described above generate the sterilizing medium by the sterilizing medium generating device 20, and the sterilizing medium can enter the conveying pipe 10 to sterilize the conveying pipe 10, and can reach a local position of the conveying pipe 10 and an internal structure such as the water tank 202 along the conveying pipe 10 to sterilize, thereby realizing the effect of deep sterilization.

Specifically, in fig. 1, sterilising medium generating apparatus 20 may be controllably energised and may generate a sterilising medium upon energisation. The sterilizing medium may enter the conveying pipe 10 to be able to sterilize the conveying pipe 10, and the sterilizing medium may also reach the space where the water tank 202 is located through the conveying pipe 10, so that the objects in the space where the water tank 202 is located may be sterilized.

The cleaning assembly 100 may send the first fluid to the space where the water tank 202 is located through the first pipe 11 for cleaning, so that the first pipe 11 may be filled with the first fluid. The cleaning assembly 100 may also absorb the second fluid located in the tank 202 through the second conduit 12 such that the second conduit 12 may be filled with the second fluid.

Depending on the particular sterilization signal, the sterilization medium generating device 20 may communicate with one of the first conduit 11 and the second conduit 12 to deliver sterilization medium to either the first conduit 11 or the second conduit 12 communicating with the sterilization medium generating device 20 for sterilization. The sterilising medium may diffuse into the first fluid and thus sterilise the whole first pipe 11 and/or all the first fluid in the first pipe 11. The sterilising medium may also diffuse into the second fluid so that the whole second conduit 12 and/or all of the second fluid within the second conduit 12 may be sterilised. Thus, the sterilization of the transport pipe 10 can be made targeted, and the sterilization effect on the local position of the transport pipe 10 can be improved.

Referring to FIG. 1, in the present invention, a cleaning assembly 100 may include a control valve 30. Sterilising medium generating apparatus 20 may be connected to control valve 30. Step 02 (causing the sterilising medium generating apparatus 20 to communicate with one of the first conduit 11 and the second conduit 12, and causing the sterilising medium generating apparatus 20 to block the other of the first conduit 11 and the second conduit 12) includes:

when the sterilization signal corresponds to the first sterilization mode, the control valve 30 of the cleaning assembly 100 is controlled to communicate the sterilization medium generating device 20 with the first pipe 11 and to block the sterilization medium generating device 20 from the second pipe 12.

The control method of the present invention may be implemented by the cleaning assembly 100 of the present invention. Specifically, referring to fig. 3, the processor 40 may be configured to control the control valve 30 of the cleaning assembly 100 to communicate the sterilizing medium generating device 20 with the first conduit 11 and to isolate the sterilizing medium generating device 20 from the second conduit 12 when the sterilizing signal corresponds to the first sterilizing mode.

Thus, the effect of sterilizing the clean water can be realized.

Specifically, by communicating the first duct 11 and the sterilizing medium producing device 20, and blocking the second duct 12 and the sterilizing medium producing device 20, the sterilizing medium can be made to enter only the first duct 11, so that the first duct 11 and the first fluid can be sterilized.

Thus, in some application scenarios, when the first fluid is delivered to the first pipe 11 in preparation for cleaning, the first fluid may be sterilized, so that the effect of sterilizing the fresh water may be achieved, and the sterilized first fluid may also sterilize the object cleaned by the first fluid.

In the present invention, the cleaning assembly 100 may include a control valve 30. Sterilising medium generating apparatus 20 may be connected to control valve 30. Step 02 (causing the sterilising medium generating apparatus 20 to communicate with one of the first conduit 11 and the second conduit 12, and causing the sterilising medium generating apparatus 20 to block the other of the first conduit 11 and the second conduit 12) includes:

when the sterilization signal corresponds to the second sterilization mode, the control valve 30 of the cleaning assembly 100 is controlled to communicate the sterilization medium generating device 20 with the second pipe 12 and to block the sterilization medium generating device 20 from the first pipe 11.

The control method of the present invention may be implemented by the cleaning assembly 100 of the present invention. Specifically, referring to fig. 3, the processor 40 may be configured to control the control valve 30 of the cleaning assembly 100 to communicate the sterilizing medium generating device 20 with the second conduit 12 and to isolate the sterilizing medium generating device 20 from the first conduit 11 when the sterilizing signal corresponds to the second sterilizing mode.

Thus, the effect of sterilizing sewage can be realized.

Specifically, by communicating the second pipe 12 with the sterilizing medium producing device 20 and blocking the first pipe 11 from the sterilizing medium producing device 20, the sterilizing medium can be made to enter only the second pipe 12, and the second pipe 12 and the second fluid can be sterilized.

Thus, in some applications, the second fluid may be sterilized as it is absorbed through the second conduit 12 and within the sump 202. The second fluid can be the first fluid after being used for cleaning, and substances cleaned in the second fluid can be sterilized by sterilizing the second fluid, so that the sewage sterilization effect can be realized.

when the sterilization signal corresponds to the third sterilization mode, the control valve 30 of the cleaning assembly 100 is controlled to communicate the sterilization medium generating device 20 and the first pipe 11 and to block the sterilization medium generating device 20 and the second pipe 12 in response to the water-in cleaning operation; and a control valve 30 controlling the washing assembly 100 to communicate the sterilizing medium producing device 20 with the second pipe 12 and to block the sterilizing medium producing device 20 from the first pipe 11 in response to the sewage collecting operation.

The control method of the present invention may be implemented by the cleaning assembly 100 of the present invention. Specifically, referring to fig. 3, the processor 40 may be configured to control the control valve 30 of the cleaning assembly 100 to communicate the sterilizing medium generating device 20 with the first pipe 11 and to block the sterilizing medium generating device 20 from the second pipe 12 in response to the water-in cleaning operation when the sterilizing signal corresponds to the third sterilizing mode; and a control valve 30 controlling the washing assembly 100 to communicate the sterilizing medium producing device 20 with the second pipe 12 and to block the sterilizing medium producing device 20 from the first pipe 11 in response to the sewage collecting operation.

Thus, the whole sterilization effect in the cleaning process can be realized.

Specifically, in the third sterilization mode, the washing assembly 100 may perform an operation of washing with water and an operation of collecting sewage, sequentially, by itself. When the cleaning assembly 100 performs the water-feeding cleaning operation, the cleaning assembly 100 delivers the first fluid into the first pipe 11 in preparation for cleaning the object located in the space where the water tank 202 is located, thereby controlling the sterilizing medium generating device 20 to generate the sterilizing medium, and allowing the sterilizing medium generating device 20 to communicate with the first pipe 11 and to be blocked from the second pipe 12, so that the first fluid can be sufficiently sterilized.

After the washing assembly 100 completes the water-in washing operation, the washing assembly 100 has completed washing the object located in the space where the water tank 202 is located, at which time the first fluid forms the second fluid due to washing and may be scattered in the water tank 202, so that the water tank 202 can accommodate the second fluid, and thus the washing assembly 100 may start to perform the sewage collection operation to collect the second fluid.

While the cleaning assembly 100 performs the sewage collection operation, the second fluid is continuously sucked into the second pipe 12 so that the second pipe 12 may be filled with the second fluid. In this case, the sterilizing medium generating device 20 is controlled again to generate the sterilizing medium and to communicate the sterilizing medium generating device 20 with the second duct 12 and to be blocked from the first duct 11, so that the second fluid can be sufficiently sterilized.

On the basis of the above, the cleaning assembly 100 can sequentially complete the operations of water inflow cleaning and sewage collection, and the first fluid, the second fluid and the cleaned object can be sterilized, so that the cleaning effect is ensured, and meanwhile, the residues and the breeding of microorganisms can be reduced as much as possible, so that the cleaning assembly 100 and the cleaned object are safer in use.

In the present invention, the control signal for controlling the control valve 30 can be determined by at least one of:

signals generated in response to the operation of the base station 200;

the washing assembly 100 performs a water-passing operation to enable a signal generated when fluid is transferred between the corresponding portion of the transfer duct 10 and the sump 202;

a signal generated when the presence of fluid within the corresponding portion of the delivery conduit 10 is detected.

Thus, the timing of the generation of the control signal can be conveniently determined.

Specifically, in response to the operation of the base station 200, the operation of cleaning the base station 200 may be controlled for the user. The user may operate a corresponding control (e.g., a button) provided with the base station 200 to enable the base station 200 or the cleaning assembly 100 to generate a corresponding signal.

The water passing operation that the cleaning assembly 100 can perform may include a water feeding cleaning operation and a sewage collecting operation. The delivery conduit 10 may have a fluid within a corresponding portion thereof, which may be a first fluid within the first conduit 11 and/or may be a second fluid within the second conduit 12. In the case of fluid delivery within delivery conduit 10, this indicates that the cleaning assembly 100 requires water inlet cleaning or wastewater collection, and thus requires a sterilization medium to be provided for sterilization, which in turn generates a corresponding signal.

In the present invention, the control method may include:

after the sterilizing medium generating device 20 supplies the sterilizing medium to the transport duct 10, one of the first duct 11 and the second duct 12 is controlled to communicate the sterilizing medium generating device 20 with the water tank 202 for a sterilizing period of time.

The control method of the present invention may be implemented by the cleaning assembly 100 of the present invention. Specifically, referring to fig. 3, the processor 40 may be configured to control one of the first pipe 11 and the second pipe 12 to communicate the sterilizing medium generating device 20 with the water tank 202 for a sterilizing duration after the sterilizing medium generating device 20 supplies the sterilizing medium to the conveying pipe 10.

Thus, the sterilization effect on the fluid can be improved.

Specifically, in some application scenarios, when the cleaning assembly 100 is in the first sterilization mode, the sterilization medium generating device 20 is isolated from the first conduit 11 and from the second conduit 12. Processor 40 may control sterilising medium generating apparatus 20 to supply sterilising medium to first conduit 11 and may then control the stop valve block connected to first conduit 11 such that fluid within first conduit 11 does not flow into sink 202. The processor 40 controls the shut-off valve connected to the first conduit 11 and may be maintained for a sterilization period, and then may control the shut-off valve to communicate so that the fluid in the first conduit 11 flows into the water tank 202. The sterilization period may be a period in which a stop valve connected to the first pipe 11 is kept closed to block the first pipe 11 from the water tank 202.

The time period for which the stop valve is closed may be counted from the time when the sterilizing medium is generated by the sterilizing medium generating device 20, or may be counted when the presence of the sterilizing medium in the transport pipe 10 is detected.

In some cases, the cleaning assembly 100 may include a first stop valve (not shown). The first stop valve may be connected to the first conduit 11 and may be located on the first conduit 11 near the water tank 202. The first stop valve may open the first conduit 11 to enable the first fluid to enter the space in which the water tank 202 is located along the first conduit 11. The first stop valve may also close the first conduit 11 so that the first fluid can be retained within the first conduit 11 without flowing to the space in which the sump 202 is located.

In some cases, the cleaning assembly 100 may include a second stop valve (not shown). A second stop valve may be coupled to the second conduit 12 and may be positioned on the second conduit 12 proximate to the sump 202. The second stop valve may open the second conduit 12 such that the second fluid is drawn from the sump 202 into the second conduit 12. The second stop valve may also close the second conduit 12 so that the sucked-in second fluid can be retained in the second conduit 12 without flowing back into the water tank 202.

On the above basis, when the cleaning assembly 100 delivers the first fluid through the first pipe 11, the first stop valve may be controlled to close the first pipe 11 to block the first pipe 11 and the water tank 202, and may be maintained for a period of time to a sterilization period of time so that the first fluid may stay in the first pipe 11 for a sufficient time to be in sufficient contact with the sterilization medium. While the cleaning assembly 100 is delivering the second fluid through the second conduit 12, the second stop valve may be controlled to close the second conduit 12 to block the second conduit 12 from the water tank 202 and may be maintained for a period of time to the sterilization period so that the second fluid may remain within the second conduit 12 long enough to be in sufficient contact with the sterilization medium. By making the fluid in full contact with the sterilization medium, the sterilization effect of the sterilization medium on the fluid can be improved.

The sterilization time length can be a corresponding set value, and can also be set in real time according to specific conditions. In some cases, the sterilization period may be 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 20 minutes.

In the present invention, the control method may include:

when the sterilizing medium generating device 20 supplies the sterilizing medium to the transport pipe 10, a sterilizing prompt message is issued.

The control method of the present invention may be implemented by the cleaning assembly 100 of the present invention. Specifically, referring to fig. 3, the processor 40 may be configured to issue a sterilization prompt message when the sterilization medium generating device 20 provides the sterilization medium to the delivery conduit 10.

Therefore, the user can be prompted by voice to avoid operation during sterilization, and misoperation is reduced.

Specifically, since the cleaning module 100 is received in a corresponding space (e.g., inside the base station 200), the user cannot directly observe that the cleaning module 100 is performing the sterilization operation at this time when the sterilization medium is generated by the sterilization medium generating device 20. By sending out the sterilization prompt information, the user can be informed that sterilization is currently performed, the user is required to stop the operation of the base station 200 or the cleaning assembly 100, or the user is far away from the base station 200 or the cleaning assembly 100, so that the safety problem caused by leakage of sterilization media due to misoperation of the user can be avoided, and the situation that the user is splashed by fluid with the sterilization media due to sudden accidents can be prevented.

In addition, the sterilization prompt information can be sent out in a mode of lamplight, regular music and voice.

In the present invention, the control method may include:

In the case where the sterilizing medium generating device 20 supplies the sterilizing medium to the transfer duct 10, the tank of the cleaning assembly 100 is locked, and the tank communicates with the transfer duct 10.

The control method of the present invention may be implemented by the cleaning assembly 100 of the present invention. Specifically, referring to fig. 3, the processor 40 may be configured to lock the water tank of the cleaning assembly 100 in communication with the delivery conduit 10 in the event that the sterilising medium generating apparatus 20 provides sterilising medium to the delivery conduit 10.

Thus, when fluid is conveyed between the water tank and the conveying pipeline 10, the water tank can be prevented from being taken out by a user touching by mistake.

Specifically, the water tank of the cleaning assembly 100 may include a first water tank 53 and a second water tank 54. The first tank 53 may deliver a first fluid to the first conduit 11. The second tank 54 may deliver a second fluid to the second conduit 12. By locking the water tank, a user can be prevented from operating the water tank by mistake, which can cause fluid to overflow and affect the cleaning flow of the cleaning assembly 100.

The embodiments of the first water tank 53 and the second water tank 54 have been described in the foregoing, and will not be described again here.

Referring to fig. 1, a base station 200 of the present invention may include a cleaning assembly 100 according to any of the above embodiments.

The base station 200 generates the sterilizing medium by the sterilizing medium generating device 20, and the sterilizing medium can enter the transport pipe 10 to sterilize the transport pipe 10, and can reach the local position of the transport pipe 10 and the internal structure of the water tank 202 along the transport pipe 10 to sterilize, thereby realizing the effect of deep sterilization.

Specifically, in fig. 1, a base station 200 may include a housing 201. The cleaning assembly 100 may be housed within the housing 201 such that the cleaning assembly 100 may function as part of the base station 200. When the base station 200 needs to realize the cleaning function, the cleaning assembly 100 can be controlled to convey fluid for cleaning, and the fluid can be sterilized by the sterilizing medium generating device 20, so that bacteria can be prevented from breeding in the cleaning assembly 100.

In fig. 1, a base station 200 may include a sink 202. The sump 202 may have a water inlet 203 and a drain 204. The water inlet 203 and the drain 204 may be located at the bottom of the base station 200. The water inlet 203 may communicate with the first conduit 11 such that the first conduit 11 outputs the first fluid through the water inlet 203. The drain 204 may be in communication with the second conduit 12 such that the second conduit 12 collects the second fluid through the drain 204.

In fig. 1, the water tank 202 may have two water inlets 203. The two inlets 203 are spaced apart from each other. The first pipe 11 may be connected to a corresponding one of the water inlets 203 through two corresponding branches, respectively, so that a spraying area of the first fluid in the water tank 202 may be increased.

The base station 200 may include a spray pipe (not shown). The spray conduit may comprise a plurality of spray branches (not shown). The spray conduit may have a communication (not shown). The plurality of spray branches of one spray pipe may communicate with each other at the communication point. The spray branches may be disposed along a radial extension around the junction such that the plurality of spray branches may form a structure that diverges from the junction to the periphery. The spray conduit may be located within the basin 202.

The spray pipes may be connected to a corresponding one of the water inlets 203 by one of the spray branches. The first fluid may enter one spray branch directly connected to the water inlet 203 through the water inlet 203 and may enter the other spray branch in one spray pipe at the communication point, respectively.

The base station 200 may include a plurality of nozzles (not shown). The top of the spray branch may be provided with a plurality of nozzles. The first fluid can be sprayed in the spray branch along the nozzle towards the top side of the spray branch, and then the object to be cleaned positioned on the top side of the spray pipeline can be cleaned. The object to be cleaned may be a mop of a cleaning robot.

As the first fluid is used for cleaning to form a second fluid, the second fluid may fall into the sump 202. The cleaning assembly 100 may draw a second fluid within the tank 202 through the second conduit 12 to achieve a collection of the second fluid. For the cleaning robot, after the cleaning operation is completed through the mop, the mop may be cleaned by the cleaning assembly 100 so that the mop may be used for the next cleaning operation of the cleaning robot.

Referring to fig. 1, a cleaning system 300 of the present invention may include a cleaning robot (not shown) and the base station 200 of the above-described embodiment.

The cleaning system 300 generates the sterilizing medium by the sterilizing medium generating device 20, and the sterilizing medium can enter the conveying pipe 10 to sterilize the conveying pipe 10, and can reach the local position of the conveying pipe 10 and the internal structure of the water tank 202 along the conveying pipe 10 to sterilize, thereby realizing the effect of deep sterilization.

For the cleaning system 300, cleaning can be performed by the cleaning robot, and the cleaning robot after cleaning is performed can be stained and needs to be cleaned, so that the cleaning assembly 100 can be controlled by the base station 200 to clean the cleaning robot. Before and after the cleaning, the fluid for cleaning can be sterilized by the sterilizing medium generating device 20, so that bacteria can be prevented from growing.

Referring to fig. 4, a cleaning apparatus 400 of the present invention may include a memory 71 and a processor 72. The memory 71 may store a computer program. The steps of the control method described above may be implemented by the processor 72 when executing a computer program.

For example, the processor 72 of the present invention, when executing the computer program, may implement the steps of the control method as follows:

Specifically, the cleaning apparatus may be the cleaning assembly 100, may be the base station 200, and may be the cleaning system 300 including the cleaning robot and the base station 200.
