Self-cleaning method for cleaning robot, cleaning robot, and cleaning system

A cleaning robot with a cleaning part and a driving part can switch between cleaning and self-cleaning modes. In self-cleaning mode, the robot stops moving, and its cleaning device operates to clean itself. The method specifically involves stopping the liquid supply and the main brush, while a fan continues to run for a set time, during which the main brush is briefly rotated at regular intervals.

Why it matters: The claims detail precise timing for self-cleaning operations. Since 2021, advances in embedded system design and low-cost microcontrollers have made implementing and optimizing such complex control sequences more accessible and efficient for consumer robotics.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedSoftware logic, electronic controls, custom timing
