In this embodiment, a control method operating on the above-mentioned cleaning equipment is provided. FIG. 2 is a flow chart of the control method of the cleaning equipment according to the embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 2, the process includes the following steps:

Step S202, acquiring the usage status of the cleaning equipment;

The control method in the embodiments of the present application may be specifically applied to cleaning equipment. The cleaning equipment includes cleaning parts, processors, etc., and the cleaning equipment may specifically be a cleaning equipment, a mopping robot, a washing machine, a sweeping machine, and the like.

The cleaning device controls the wetting of the cleaning parts under the control of the processor. The usage state of the cleaning device generally includes a running state (that is, it is running after being turned on) and a power-off state (that is, it is not started or not turned on).

Step S204, judging whether the use state is switched from the shutdown state to the running state;

In the previous step S204, the shutdown state is switched to the running state, that is, the cleaning device is turned on, and when it is detected that the cleaning device is turned on, the cleaning piece is quickly wetted.

Step S206, if the use state is switched from the power-off state to the running state, control the cleaning device to perform the wetting operation of the cleaning element within a predetermined time.

The predetermined time in the embodiment of the present application can be set according to the actual situation. For example, it can be set to 20 seconds, that is, the use state is switched to the running state due to the shutdown state, indicating that the cleaning equipment is being started, and it will be wet and cleaned quickly in a short period of time. pieces.

Through the above steps S202 to S206, the problem of long and untimely waiting time for the cleaning parts of the cleaning equipment in the related art is solved, the waiting time of the user is reduced, and the cleaning parts are wetted quickly when the machine is turned on, so that the cleaning parts are soaked evenly and the cleaning effect is improved.

The cleaning equipment in the embodiment of the present application includes a water-absorbing equipment water supply device and a water-absorbing equipment. Specifically, the water-absorbing equipment absorbs water to wet the cleaning parts. Correspondingly, in the above step S206, the cleaning parts can be wetted in the following manner: control the cleaning The water supply device of the equipment supplies water to the cleaning element with a first flow rate, so that the cleaning element absorbs water and the wet state meets the first preset condition. Set the flow rate (it can be set according to the actual situation) to absorb water, so that the cleaning parts of the cleaning equipment are in a wet state within the above-mentioned predetermined time (short time), that is, quickly absorb water through the water absorption equipment to quickly wet the cleaning parts. , the first preset condition may be that the cleaning element is in a first preset humidity.

In some embodiments, after the above step S206, the water supply device of the cleaning equipment is controlled to supply water to the cleaning element at the second flow rate, so that the cleaning element absorbs water and the wet state meets the second preset condition, wherein the second preset condition can be The cleaning element is in the second preset humidity, the second preset humidity is lower than the first preset humidity, and the second preset flow rate is lower than the above-mentioned first preset flow rate. After the quick start, the water supply device of the cleaning equipment is less than The second flow of the first flow supplies water to the cleaning element. At this time, the cleaning element only needs to absorb water normally. Every time the user powers on the cleaning equipment, the water pump suction will set a relatively large water pump flow relative to the flow value of the machine in use, and the flow value will be greater than the maximum flow of the water pump in use.

In some other embodiments, after the above step S206, the use state of the cleaning device is obtained; it is judged whether the use state is switched from the operation state to the shutdown state; if the use state is changed from the operation state Switch to the power-off state, control the water supply device of the cleaning device to stop supplying water to the cleaning element and close the water supply device, at this time, the water suction device stops absorbing water.

After the above step S206, receive a closing command to close the water supply device of the water suction device; control the water supply device to stop supplying water to the cleaning element according to the closing command and turn off the water supply device to control the water suction device according to the closing command The device stops absorbing water and closes the absorbing device.

During the use of the machine, some kind of signal (such as shifting gears, or switching from upright to tilted state) will also be used to control the water flow of the water pump to wet the cleaning parts again.

In some embodiments, when the cleaning device is in the running state, if a certain signal from the user is received, the quick-wetting cleaning element will be controlled again, and an adjustment instruction to adjust the gear position to the wet mode will be received, and according to the adjustment instruction Controlling the water supply device of the cleaning equipment again to supply water to the cleaning piece within the predetermined time, so that the cleaning piece absorbs water and the wet state meets the first preset condition, and controls to quickly wet the cleaning piece again when necessary, It is beneficial to further improve the cleaning effect.

In some other embodiments, when the cleaning device is in the running state, if it receives a signal from the user to convert the mode, the upright mode is converted to the tilted mode, and the processor will detect the conversion from the upright mode to the tilted mode at this time, according to The preset setting again controls the water supply device of the cleaning equipment to supply water to the cleaning element within the predetermined time, so that the cleaning element absorbs water and the wet state meets the first preset condition.

The cleaning element in the embodiment of the present application may specifically be a rolling brush, and the embodiment of the present application will be described below taking the rolling brush as an example.

Use the first preset flow rate to quickly wet the roller brush within the specified time, and use other flow rates to use equipment outside the specified time. When the water pump absorbs water from the stop state of the water pump to the running state, it will quickly wet the roller brush with a large flow rate. Fig. 3 is a flowchart of the cleaning device according to the embodiment of the present application to quickly wet the roller brush, as shown in Fig. 3, including:

Step S301, acquiring the usage status of the cleaning equipment;

Step S302, judging whether the cleaning device is switched from the shutdown state to the running state, if the judgment result is yes, execute step S303, otherwise end;

Step S303, the cleaning device quickly wets the roller brush, and the water absorbing device absorbs water at a large flow rate (that is, absorbs water at the above-mentioned first preset flow rate);

Step S304, after wetting the roller brush within the specified time, select a different water absorption flow to work according to the state or mode change of the cleaning equipment. flow;

Step S305, judging whether the use state is switched or the signal is triggered to turn off the water supply device, and if the judging result is yes, execute step S306, otherwise end;

Step S306, turn on the water supply device again.

The method of quickly wetting the cleaning equipment reduces the time for the roller brush to soak wet and reduces the time for users to wait for cleaning.
