As shown in FIG. 1 , the cleaning equipment 10 at least includes: an equipment water tank 110 and an equipment water delivery channel 120 connected to the equipment water tank 110 .

The equipment water tank 110 is used to contain liquid. The equipment water tank 110 includes an equipment clean water tank 111 and/or an equipment wastewater tank 112 .

The liquid contained in the equipment clean water tank 111 mainly plays a cleaning role. The liquid may be clean water, detergent, etc. This embodiment does not limit the type of liquid contained in the equipment clean water tank 111 .

Optionally, the number of equipment clean water tanks 111 may be one or at least two. In the case where the number of equipment clean water tanks 111 is at least two, the types of liquids contained in different equipment clean water tanks 111 may be the same or different.

Optionally, the equipment fresh water tank 111 can be detachably installed on the cleaning equipment 10 , or can also be fixedly provided on the cleaning equipment 10 .

Correspondingly, the water delivery channel includes an equipment water adding channel 121 connected to the equipment clean water tank 111 . The equipment water adding channel 121 is used to add liquid to the equipment clean water tank 111 . Specifically, one end of the equipment water adding channel 121 can be connected to an external pipeline, and the other end can be connected to the equipment clean water tank 111 .

In order to prevent one end of the equipment water adding channel 121 from leaking the liquid in the equipment clean water tank 111 to the outside of the cleaning device 10 when water is not added to the equipment clean water tank 111, a sealing assembly is provided at one end of the equipment water adding channel 121. The sealing component seals one end of the equipment water adding channel 121 when the equipment water adding channel 121 is not connected to the external pipeline; and makes the equipment water adding channel 121 conductive when the equipment water adding channel 121 is connected to the external pipeline.

In one example, the sealing component includes a cutout.

The water pump does not work when the equipment water adding channel 121 is not connected to the external pipeline. At this time, the equipment water adding channel 121 is not conductive due to the one-way valve provided in the water pump. The water pump is in the equipment water filling channel 121 and the external pipe It works when the circuit is connected. At this time, the one-way valve in the water pump makes the water adding channel 121 of the equipment conductive.

Since the traditional cleaning device 10 does not include the device water adding channel 121, the user needs to manually disassemble the device water tank 111 to add liquid, which leads to a problem of low liquid adding efficiency. In this embodiment, by adding the equipment water adding channel 121 to the cleaning equipment 10, only the external water source needs to be connected to the equipment water adding channel 121 to add liquid to the equipment clean water tank 111, which can simplify the liquid adding operation and improve the efficiency of liquid adding. efficiency.

In the case where the equipment fresh water tank 111 is detachably installed on the cleaning equipment 10, the equipment fresh water tank 111 is detachably connected to the equipment water filling channel 121. In this way, it can be ensured that when the equipment fresh water tank 111 is detached from the cleaning equipment 10, the equipment water filling channel 121 is still on the cleaning equipment 10 and will not separate from the cleaning equipment 10 along with the equipment fresh water tank 111. Optionally, the equipment clean water tank 111 and the equipment water adding channel 121 can be detachably connected, including but not limited to: plugging, or threaded connection, etc. This embodiment does not detachably connect the equipment clean water tank 111 with the equipment water adding channel 121. The method is limited.

According to the water volume detected by the first clean water detection mechanism 130, The first control operation is performed.

Illustratively, performing the first control operation according to the water amount detected by the first clean water detection mechanism 130 includes: outputting a water adding prompt when the water amount detected by the first clean water detection mechanism 130 is less than the first water amount threshold.

The equipment sewage tank 112 mainly plays the role of recycling sewage. Optionally, the number of equipment waste water tanks 112 may be one or at least two.

Optionally, the equipment sewage tank 112 can be detachably installed on the cleaning equipment 10 , or can also be fixedly provided on the cleaning equipment 10 .

Correspondingly, the water delivery channel includes an equipment drainage channel 122 connected to the equipment sewage tank 112 . The equipment drainage channel 122 is used to drain the liquid in the equipment wastewater tank 112 . Specifically, one end of the equipment drainage channel 122 is supported to be connected to the outside of the equipment of the cleaning equipment 10, and the other end is connected to the equipment sewage tank 112.

In order to prevent the sewage in the equipment sewage tank 112 from leaking to the outside of the cleaning equipment 10 at one end of the equipment drainage channel 122 when the equipment sewage tank 112 is not drained, a sealing assembly is provided at one end of the equipment drainage channel 122 . The sealing assembly seals one end of the equipment drainage channel 122 when the equipment drainage channel 122 is not connected to the external pipeline; and makes the equipment drainage channel 122 conductive when the equipment drainage channel 122 is connected to the external pipeline.

Alternatively, a switch assembly is provided in the equipment drainage channel 122. When the equipment drainage channel 122 is not connected to the external pipeline, the switch assembly causes the equipment drainage channel 122 to be non-conductive; when the equipment drainage channel 122 is connected to the external pipeline, the switch assembly causes the equipment to be disconnected. The drainage channel 122 is open. The switch assembly can be manually controlled on or off, or can be controlled on or off by a device controller on the cleaning device 10. This embodiment does not limit the switching mode of the switch assembly.

Or, in order to improve the drainage efficiency of the equipment drainage channel 122, a water pump is provided in the equipment drainage channel 122 to discharge the sewage in the equipment waste water tank 112 to the outside of the cleaning equipment 10 during the drainage process. The water pump does not work when the equipment drainage channel 122 is not connected to the external pipeline. At this time, the equipment drainage channel 122 is not conductive due to the one-way valve provided in the water pump. The water pump works when the equipment drainage channel 122 is connected to the external pipeline. At this time, the one-way valve in the water pump makes the equipment drainage channel 122 conductive.

In other embodiments, the equipment drainage channel 122 does not need to be provided with a water pump. When the external water collection mechanism is located on the ground, the sewage can be discharged to the external water collection mechanism through air pressure; When the height of the external water collection mechanism is higher than the ground, the sewage can be discharged by installing a water pump in an external pipe connected to the equipment drainage channel 122. This embodiment does not limit the drainage method.

Since the traditional cleaning equipment 10 does not include the equipment drainage channel 122, the user needs to manually disassemble the equipment sewage tank 112 to drain the liquid, which leads to a problem of low liquid addition efficiency. In this embodiment, by adding the equipment drainage channel 122 to the cleaning equipment 10, the equipment drainage channel 122 only needs to be connected to the external water collection mechanism, and the sewage in the equipment sewage tank 112 can be discharged through the equipment drainage channel 122. It can simplify drainage operations and improve drainage efficiency.

In the case where the equipment sewage tank 112 is detachably installed on the cleaning equipment 10 , the equipment sewage tank 112 is detachably connected to the equipment drainage channel 122 . In this way, it can be ensured that when the equipment sewage tank 112 is removed from the cleaning equipment 10 , the equipment drainage channel 122 is still on the cleaning equipment 10 and will not separate from the cleaning equipment 10 along with the equipment sewage tank 112 . Optionally, the equipment sewage tank 112 and the equipment drainage channel 122 can be detachably connected, including but not limited to: plugging, threaded connection, etc. This embodiment does not provide for the equipment sewage tank 112 and the equipment drainage channel 122 to be detachably connected.

The base includes the base provided by the above embodiments; the cleaning equipment includes the cleaning equipment provided by the above embodiments.

Optionally, based on the above embodiments, this application also provides a self-cleaning method for cleaning equipment. This application uses the execution subject of each method embodiment as the equipment controller in the cleaning equipment, or as the base control in the base. A device is used as an example to illustrate. In actual implementation, the execution subject may also be a control device that is communicatively connected to the cleaning device or the base. This embodiment does not limit the execution of the method. In the following, the execution subject is an electronic device as an example. Illustratively, the electronic device includes a cleaning device, a base and/or a control device.

Self-cleaning in this application refers to the cleaning equipment cleaning a certain part of its own equipment. clean. For example, the floor washing machine performs self-cleaning on its own roller brush, or the floor washing machine performs self-cleaning on its own equipment sewage tank, etc. This embodiment does not limit the parts to be cleaned during self-cleaning.

The self-cleaning method of this cleaning equipment is introduced below. Figure 6 is a flow chart of a self-cleaning method for cleaning equipment provided by an embodiment of the present application. The method at least includes the following steps:

Step 601: In response to the self-cleaning instruction of the cleaning equipment, determine whether the water volume in the equipment water tank meets the self-cleaning requirements.

Optionally, the self-cleaning instruction is sent by other devices, or is automatically generated by an electronic device. This embodiment does not limit the source of the self-cleaning instruction. The following is an example of how to obtain self-cleaning instructions. The methods for electronic devices to obtain self-cleaning instructions include but are not limited to at least one of the following:

The first: the electronic device determines whether the base and the cleaning equipment are connected; when the base and the cleaning equipment are connected, a self-cleaning instruction is generated to trigger the execution of the step of determining whether the water volume in the equipment water tank meets the self-cleaning requirements.

When the base and the cleaning device are not docked, the process of determining whether the base and the cleaning device are docked is performed again.

Schematically, a docking detection mechanism is provided on the base and/or the cleaning equipment. When the base and the cleaning equipment are docked, the detection result of the docking detection mechanism is that the base and the cleaning equipment are docked; when the base and the cleaning equipment are not docked, In the case of docking, the detection result of the docking detection mechanism is that the base and the cleaning device are not docked, or the detection result is not output. The electronic device is connected to the docking detection mechanism to determine whether the base and the cleaning device are docked based on the detection results output by the docking detection mechanism.

The docking detection mechanism includes a Hall sensor and a magnetic part. The Hall sensor is set on one of the base and the cleaning device, and the magnetic part is set on the other. When the base and the cleaning device are docked, the Hall sensor The sensor and the magnetic part are opposite so that the Hall sensor outputs a high-level signal; when the base and the cleaning equipment are not docked, the distance between the Hall sensor and the magnetic part is greater than the sensing range of the Hall sensor so that The Hall sensor outputs a low level signal.

or,

The docking detection mechanism includes a pressure sensor, which is arranged at a preset position of the base. When the base and the cleaning equipment are docked, the preset position is subject to the pressure of the cleaning equipment, so that the pressure sensor outputs a pressure signal greater than the preset pressure threshold; when the base and the cleaning equipment are not docked, the preset position is not is subject to the pressure of the cleaning equipment so that the pressure sensor output is less than the preset pressure Force threshold pressure signal.

In other embodiments, the docking detection mechanism can also be implemented in other ways, which will not be described again in this embodiment.

For the situation where the cleaning device only performs the self-cleaning action when it is docked with the base, if the self-cleaning instruction is not generated by the contact between the base and the cleaning device, the electronic device responds to the self-cleaning instruction, between the base and the cleaning device. When the equipment is not docked, the docking status of the base and the cleaning equipment is obtained; when the docking status is updated to the docking of the base and the cleaning equipment, the step of determining whether the water volume in the equipment water tank meets the self-cleaning requirements is triggered.

In response to the self-cleaning instruction, when the base is docked with the cleaning equipment, the step of determining whether the water volume of the equipment water tank meets the self-cleaning requirements is triggered.

The electronic device obtains the docking status through the detection result of the docking detection mechanism. The implementation method of the docking detection mechanism refers to the first method of generating self-cleaning instructions, which will not be described again in this embodiment.

This embodiment does not The timing for the electronic device to detect the docking status is limited.

Since the self-cleaning instruction may be generated by user error triggering. Based on this, optionally, when the docking status is updated to the case where the base is docked with the cleaning device, the electronic device also determines whether the self-cleaning instruction is valid; when the self-cleaning instruction is valid, triggers execution to determine whether the water volume in the device water tank meets Steps required for self-cleaning.

In this way, only when the self-cleaning instruction is valid, it means that the self-cleaning instruction is not generated by user error, and the accuracy of the self-cleaning action can be ensured.

Optionally, in order for the user to confirm whether the self-cleaning instruction is a false trigger, in response to the self-cleaning instruction Therefore, when the base and the cleaning device are not connected, the electronic device can also output a docking prompt to prompt the user to connect the base and the cleaning device.

Optionally, the docking prompt may be an audio prompt, and/or a light prompt, etc. This embodiment does not limit the prompting method of the docking prompt.

Schematically, determining whether the self-cleaning instruction is valid includes: determining whether the time interval between the docking moment when the docking status is updated to the docking of the base and the cleaning device and the generation moment of the self-cleaning instruction is greater than a preset time length threshold; if the docking moment and generation If the time interval between times is greater than the preset duration threshold, it is determined that the self-cleaning command has failed; if the time interval is less than or equal to the preset duration threshold, it is determined that the self-cleaning command has not failed.
