Description

Cleaning liquid interaction method for surface cleaning system and surface cleaning system

technical field

The present disclosure relates to a cleaning liquid interaction method for a surface cleaning system and a surface cleaning system.

Background technique

Current surface cleaning devices can typically be used for wet scrubbing to clean hard floors or low-pile carpets. Such devices usually have one or more roller brushes or cleaning discs made of woolen material. Stubborn dirt on floors can be scrubbed by adding water or a water/cleaner mixture. When the machine is moving on the dirt, the dirt that has been wiped off by the roller brush and dissolved by water or water/detergent mixture is sucked up by the cleaning heads arranged along the direction of the roller brush movement. In the technology of setting the cleaning disc, it is not necessary to set With the cleaning head, the dirt is directly absorbed by the cleaning material on the cleaning disc.

However, stubborn dirt is usually difficult to clean. After the dirt is scattered on the floor surface, the evaporation of water will form stubborn dirt on the surface that is difficult to remove. Often, not all of this stubborn dirt can be removed by vacuuming during scrubbing, so some of it remains on the floor, reducing the quality of the clean.

In order to improve the cleaning quality, it is usually cleaned by mixing detergent and water. According to a certain ratio, the detergent and water are mixed in the clean water tank of the surface cleaning device to form a cleaning fluid, and then the cleaning fluid is applied to the roller brush or cleaning On the plate, to achieve a good cleaning effect of stubborn dirt. However, this means that the proportion of cleaning agent is controlled, the cleaning process of this cleaning agent must also be carried out specially, and it is not necessary to apply this cleaning agent to every cleaning surface, which leads to an increase of time and costs in this way.

Another way is to implement steam treatment. The surface cleaning device is equipped with a hot steam generator. When cleaning specific stubborn dirt, through the input of the control signal, the atomization heating device of the surface cleaning device will use the water in the clean water tank Steam, spray onto a roller brush or cleaning pan, especially on clean surfaces, to soften that stubborn stain and pull it off the surface for cleaning purposes. However, the steam of the surface cleaning device is not easy to control, which often greatly consumes the battery life of the surface cleaning device, and in the process of steaming, extra steam that the user does not want is often leaked out, and the user experience is not good.

Existing surface cleaning devices, whether they are autonomous mobile cleaning devices or hand-held cleaning devices, due to the natural limitations of their structure and volume, the volume of the clean water tank they carry is limited. In the case of cleaning a large area, especially with the above-mentioned When it is stained, the water needs to be replaced frequently, which brings about a decline in experience.

When hot water is used to clean the surface to be cleaned, the battery of the surface cleaning device needs to provide energy, and the clean water is heated by a heater such as a PTC, which will seriously affect the battery life of the surface cleaning device.

In addition, when the cleaning device is docked on the base station, if heated cleaning liquid is added to the cleaning device through the base station, there will be many unpredictable situations, such as the cleaning liquid in the base station not being added to the cleaning device, or the cleaning device itself has leakage It is impossible to store cleaning liquids and the like.
