Abstract

A floor mopping machine includes a machine body and at least one valve body. The machine body is provided with a water tank of the floor mopping machine. The at least one valve body is in communication with the water tank of the floor mopping machine. After a cleaning dock is put into the floor mopping machine, the floor mopping machine communicates with a water tank of the cleaning dock through the valve body, and/or the floor mopping machine communicates with a cleaning nozzle of the cleaning dock through the valve body. A control method for the floor mopping machine is also disclosed.

         4 . The floor mopping machine according to  claim 3 , wherein the first valve body is a three-way valve which can simultaneously conduct the water tank of the floor mopping machine and the water pump of the floor mopping machine. 
     
     
         5 . The floor mopping machine according to  claim 2 , wherein the second valve body is disposed between the nozzle of the floor mopping machine and the water pump of the floor mopping machine, and the second valve body is in communication with the cleaning nozzle. 
     
     
         6 . The floor mopping machine according to  claim 5 , wherein the second valve body is configured to conduct the floor mopping machine and the water pump of the floor mopping machine, or to conduct the water pump of the floor mopping machine and the cleaning nozzle. 
     
     
         7 . The floor mopping machine according to  claim 2 , further comprising a base pivotally connected to a bottom end of the machine body, and the base being provided with the at least one valve body. 
     
     
         8 . The floor mopping machine according to  claim 1 , wherein when the at least one valve body is only one, the valve body is disposed between the water tank of the floor mopping machine and the water pump of the cleaning dock, and the valve body communicates with the cleaning nozzle. 
     
     
         9 . The floor mopping machine according to  claim 8 , wherein the valve body is configured to conduct the water pump of the cleaning dock and the water tank of the floor mopping machine, or to conduct the water pump of the cleaning dock and the cleaning nozzle. 
     
     
         10 . The floor mopping machine according to  claim 8 , wherein the valve body is a three-way valve. 
     
     
         11 . A control method for a floor mopping machine, comprising:
 receiving a cleaning instruction after a water tank of the floor mopping machine is in communication with a second plug nozzle on a cleaning plate;   controlling a first water pump of the floor mopping machine to turn on according to the cleaning instruction, so as to deliver liquid from the water tank of the floor mopping machine to the cleaning plate so as to wet a rag of the floor mopping machine; and   controlling a power device of the floor mopping machine to rotate the rag of the floor mopping machine on the cleaning plate after the first water pump operates for a first preset time.   
     
     
         12 . The control method according to  claim 11 , further comprising:
 controlling the first water pump to turn off after the rag of the floor mopping machine is rotated for a second preset time.   
     
     
         13 . The control method according to  claim 12 , further comprising:
 controlling the rag of the floor mopping machine to continue to rotate for a third preset time after the first water pump is turned off.   
     
     
         14 . The control method according to  claim 13 , wherein:
 after controlling the rag of the floor mopping machine to continue to rotate for the third preset time after the first water pump is turned off, a water level of the liquid in the water tank of the floor mopping machine is detected; if the water level of the liquid is lower than a first preset water level, a second water pump communicated with the water tank of the floor mopping machine is controlled to replenish water to the water tank of the floor mopping machine.   
     
     
         15 . The control method according to  claim 11 , wherein:
 after receiving the cleaning instruction, a water level of the liquid in the water tank of the floor mopping machine is detected; if the water level of the liquid is lower than a first preset water level, a second water pump communicated with the water tank of the floor mopping machine is controlled to replenish water to the water tank of the floor mopping machine.   
     
     
         16 . The control method according to  claim 13 , wherein:
 the first preset time is 0-30 S, the second preset time is 0-30 S, and the third preset time is 0-30 S.   
     
     
         17 . A controller for a floor mopping machine, comprising:
 a receiving unit adapted to receive a cleaning instruction after a water tank of the floor mopping machine is in communication with a second plug nozzle on a cleaning plate;   a water pump control unit adapted to control a first water pump of the floor mopping machine to turn on according to the cleaning instruction to deliver liquid from the water tank of the floor mopping machine to the cleaning plate so as to wet a rag of the floor mopping machine; and   a power control unit adapted to control a power device of the floor mopping machine to rotate the rag of the floor mopping machine on the cleaning plate after the first water pump works for a first preset time.   
     
     
         18 . The controller according to  claim 17 , wherein:
 the water pump control unit is further configured to control the first water pump to turn off after the rag of the floor mopping machine is rotated for a second preset time; and   wherein the power control unit is further configured to control the rag of the floor mopping machine to continue to rotate for a third preset time after the first water pump is turned off.   
     
     
         19 . The controller according to  claim 17 , wherein:
 the water pump control unit is adapted to control the second water pump communicated with the water tank of the floor mopping machine according to a water level signal of the liquid in the water tank of the floor mopping machine, so as to replenish water to the water tank of the floor mopping machine.
