Abstract

A control method includes determining that a base station solution container of a cleaning device is not in a solution discharge state, and controlling supply of solution into the base station solution container. The base station solution container is configured to supply solution to a mobile cleaning component of the cleaning device and/or a base station cleaning component of the cleaning device.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A control method comprising:
 determining that a base station solution container of a cleaning device is not in a solution discharge state, and controlling supply of solution into the base station solution container;   wherein the base station solution container is configured to supply solution to a mobile cleaning component of the cleaning device and/or a base station cleaning component of the cleaning device.   
     
     
         2 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein determining that the base station solution container is not in the solution discharge state includes:
 determining that the base station solution container is not in the solution discharge state based on the mobile cleaning component being performing a floor cleaning operation or a cleaning piece drying operation.   
     
     
         3 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein determining that the base station solution container is not in the solution discharge state includes:
 determining that the base station solution container is not in the solution discharge state based on the mobile cleaning component being in a charging state or a standby state in the base station.   
     
     
         4 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein controlling supply of solution into the base station solution container includes:
 determining that the solution stored in the base station solution container is lower than a preset water volume threshold, and controlling supply of solution into the base station solution container.   
     
     
         5 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein controlling supply of solution into the base station solution container includes:
 controlling supply of water into the base station solution container.   
     
     
         6 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein controlling supply of solution into the base station solution container includes:
 controlling dispensing of detergent and supply of water into the base station solution container.   
     
     
         7 . The method according to  claim 6 , wherein controlling dispensing of detergent and supply of water into the base station solution container includes:
 determining amount of the detergent to be dispensed and volume of water awaiting intake according to a preset solution concentration; and   controlling dispensing of detergent and supply of water into the base station solution container based on the amount of the detergent to be dispensed and the volume of water awaiting intake.   
     
     
         8 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program or instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
 determine that a base station solution container of a cleaning device is not in a solution discharge state, and control supply of solution into the base station solution container;   wherein the base station solution container is configured to supply solution to a mobile cleaning component of the cleaning device and/or a base station cleaning component of the cleaning device.   
     
     
         9 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to  claim 8 , wherein the program or instructions further cause the processor to:
 determine that the base station solution container is not in the solution discharge state based on the mobile cleaning component being performing a floor cleaning operation or a cleaning piece drying operation.   
     
     
         10 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to  claim 8 , wherein the program or instructions further cause the processor to:
 determine that the base station solution container is not in the solution discharge state based on the mobile cleaning component being in a charging state or a standby state in the base station.   
     
     
         11 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to  claim 8 , wherein the program or instructions further cause the processor to:
 determine that the solution stored in the base station solution container is lower than a preset water volume threshold, and control supply of solution into the base station solution container.   
     
     
         12 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to  claim 8 , wherein the program or instructions further cause the processor to:
 control supply of water into the base station solution container; or   control dispensing of detergent and supply of water into the base station solution container.   
     
     
         13 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to  claim 12 , wherein the program or instructions further cause the processor to:
 determine amount of detergent to be dispensed and volume of water awaiting intake according to a preset solution concentration; and   control dispensing of detergent and supply of water into the base station solution container based on the amount of the detergent to be dispensed and the volume of water awaiting intake.   
     
     
         14 . A cleaning device comprising:
 a memory storing a program or instructions; and   a processor configured to execute the program or instructions to:
 determine that a base station solution container of the cleaning device is not in a solution discharge state, and control supply of solution into the base station solution container; 
 wherein the base station solution container is configured to supply solution to a mobile cleaning component of the cleaning device and/or a base station cleaning component of the cleaning device. 
   
     
     
         15 . The cleaning device according to  claim 14 , wherein the processor is further configured to execute the program or instructions to:
 determine that the base station solution container is not in the solution discharge state based on the mobile cleaning component being performing a floor cleaning operation or a cleaning piece drying operation.   
     
     
         16 . The cleaning device according to  claim 14 , wherein the processor is further configured to execute the program or instructions to:
 determine that the base station solution container is not in the solution discharge state based on the mobile cleaning component being in a charging state or a standby state in the base station.   
     
     
         17 . The cleaning device according to  claim 14 , wherein the processor is further configured to execute the program or instructions to:
 determine that the solution stored in the base station solution container is lower than a preset water volume threshold, and control supply of solution into the base station solution container.   
     
     
         18 . The cleaning device according to  claim 14 , wherein the processor is further configured to execute the program or instructions to:
 control supply of water into the base station solution container.   
     
     
         19 . The cleaning device according to  claim 14 , wherein the processor is further configured to execute the program or instructions to:
 control dispensing of detergent and supply of water into the base station solution container.   
     
     
         20 . The cleaning device according to  claim 19 , wherein the processor is further configured to execute the program or instructions to:
 determine amount of detergent to be dispensed and volume of water awaiting intake according to a preset solution concentration;   control dispensing of detergent and supply of water into the base station solution container based on the amount of the detergent to be dispensed and the volume of water awaiting intake.
