Abstract
The present disclosure provides a docking station for a cleaning robot, including: a wastewater tank constructed to collect wastewater and generate steam from the wastewater; a steam condensing mechanism constructed to operate in a wastewater-water generation mode and an air-water generation mode to generation clean water; a clean water tank having an effective volume and constructed to accommodate clean water; and a control unit constructed to determine the volume of clean water generated by the steam condensing mechanism in the air-water generation mode based on the effective volume of the clean water tank and a recycling rate of the clean water accommodated in the clean water tank.

A docking station for a cleaning robot, comprising:
- a wastewater tank constructed to collect wastewater and generate steam from the wastewater;
- a steam condensing mechanism constructed to operate in a wastewater-water generation mode and an air-water generation mode to generation clean water, wherein in the wastewater-water generation mode, the steam condensing mechanism receives the steam produced by the wastewater tank, and in the air-water generation mode, the steam condensing mechanism receives water vapor originated from moisture in the air;
- a clean water tank having an effective volume and constructed to accommodate clean water;
- and
- a control unit constructed to determine the volume of clean water generated by the steam condensing mechanism in the air-water generation mode based on the effective volume of the clean water tank and a recycling rate of the clean water accommodated in the clean water tank.
A cleaning system, comprising:
- a cleaning robot;
- and
- a docking station for the cleaning robot, comprising:
- a wastewater tank constructed to collect wastewater and generate steam from the wastewater;
- and
- a steam condensing mechanism constructed to operate in a wastewater-water generation mode and an air-water generation mode to generation clean water, wherein in the wastewater-water generation mode, the steam condensing mechanism receives the steam produced by the wastewater tank, and in the air-water generation mode, the steam condensing mechanism receives water vapor originated from moisture in the air;
- a clean water tank having an effective volume L and constructed to accommodate clean water;
- and
- a control unit constructed to determine the volume of clean water generated by the steam condensing mechanism in the air-water generation mode based on the effective volume of the clean water tank and a recycling rate of the clean water accommodated in the clean water tank.
