Abstract

The disclosure provides a self-cleaning method of a cleaning system, wherein the cleaning system includes a main cleaning machine and a base, and the main cleaning machine is detachably arranged on the base; and in a self-cleaning process, when a self-cleaning running condition is not met, the cleaning system stops the self-cleaning, and after the self-cleaning running condition is met, the cleaning system selects to continue to perform the self-cleaning or restart the self-cleaning. Since the self-cleaning process takes a long time, if the cleaning system stops the self-cleaning due to mis-operation in the self-cleaning process, the self-cleaning is able to be continued by means of the method after the self-cleaning condition is met again, instead of restarting self-cleaning, thereby avoiding repeated running, saving energy and improving the user experience. The disclosure is able to be applicable to different self-cleaning modes according to different conditions, thereby being flexible and efficient.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A self-cleaning method of a cleaning system, wherein the cleaning system comprises a main cleaning machine and a base, and the main cleaning machine is detachably arranged on the base; and
 in a self-cleaning process, when a self-cleaning running condition is not met, the cleaning system stops a self-cleaning, and after the self-cleaning running condition is met, the cleaning system selects to continue to perform the self-cleaning or restart the self-cleaning.   
     
     
         2 . The self-cleaning method of the cleaning system according to  claim 1 , wherein the cleaning system automatically selects to continue to perform the self-cleaning or restart the self-cleaning according to an operation performed by the cleaning system after stopping the self-cleaning. 
     
     
         3 . The self-cleaning method of the cleaning system according to  claim 1 , wherein a user selects, by himself/herself, to make the cleaning system continue to perform the self-cleaning or restart the self-cleaning. 
     
     
         4 . The self-cleaning method of the cleaning system according to  claim 1 , wherein a condition of not meeting the self-cleaning running comprises:
 the main cleaning machine is separated from the base; or   a clear water tank lacks water; or   a sewage tank is full; or   a user initiatively stops the self-cleaning.   
     
     
         5 . The self-cleaning method of the cleaning system according to  claim 4 , wherein in the self-cleaning process, after the main cleaning machine is separated from the base, the cleaning system stops the self-cleaning, and when the main cleaning machine is placed on the base again, the cleaning system continues to perform the self-cleaning. 
     
     
         6 . The self-cleaning method of the cleaning system according to  claim 4 , wherein in the self-cleaning process, after the main cleaning machine is separated from the base, the main cleaning machine performs an operation of cleaning a surface to be cleaned, and when the main cleaning machine is placed on the base again, the cleaning system restarts the self-cleaning. 
     
     
         7 . The self-cleaning method of the cleaning system according to  claim 1 , wherein the self-cleaning comprises a self-washing and/or a self-drying. 
     
     
         8 . The self-cleaning method of the cleaning system according to  claim 1 , wherein only after the main cleaning machine is placed on the base and the user completes a trigger condition, the cleaning system performs the self-cleaning. 
     
     
         9 . The self-cleaning method of the cleaning system according to  claim 1 , wherein after the main cleaning machine is placed on the base, the cleaning system automatically performs self-cleaning. 
     
     
         10 . A self-cleaning method of a cleaning system, wherein the cleaning system comprises a main cleaning machine and a base, and the main cleaning machine is detachably arranged on the base;
 a self-cleaning comprises a self-washing and/or a self-drying;   in a self-washing process, when a self-washing running condition is not met, the cleaning system stops the self-washing, and after the self-washing running condition is met, the cleaning system restarts the self-washing; and   in a self-drying process, when a self-drying running condition is not met, the cleaning system stops the self-drying, and after the self-drying running condition is met, the cleaning system selects to continue to perform the self-drying or restart the self-drying.   
     
     
         11 . The self-cleaning method of the cleaning system according to  claim 7 , wherein in the self-cleaning process,
 only the self-washing is performed; or   only the self-drying is performed; or   both the self-washing and the self-drying are performed.   
     
     
         12 . The self-cleaning method of the cleaning system according to  claim 11 , wherein when only the self-washing is performed in the self-cleaning process, and when a self-washing running condition is not met, the cleaning system stops the self-cleaning, and after the self-washing running condition is met, the cleaning system selects to continue to perform the self-washing or restart the self-washing. 
     
     
         13 . The self-cleaning method of the cleaning system according to  claim 11 , wherein when only the self-drying is performed in the self-cleaning process, and when a self-drying running condition is not met, the cleaning system stops the self-cleaning, and after the self-drying running condition is met, the cleaning system selects to continue to perform the self-drying or restart the self-drying. 
     
     
         14 . The self-cleaning method of the cleaning system according to  claim 11 , wherein when both the self-washing and the self-drying are performed in the self-cleaning process, and when the self-cleaning running condition is not met, the cleaning system stops the self-cleaning, and after the self-cleaning running condition is met, the cleaning system selects to continue to perform the self-cleaning or restart the self-cleaning.
