Description

Pool cleaning apparatus and control method thereof Technical Field The invention relates to the technical field of cleaning equipment, in particular to pool cleaning equipment and a control method thereof. Background The pool cleaning device is widely used for daily maintenance of scenes such as a family swimming pool, a landscape pool and the like, and has the basic functions of traveling in water and collecting and treating suspended impurities, particles, hair and sedimentary pollutants in the water body so as to improve the cleanliness of the water body and reduce the manual salvage burden. The existing equipment generally needs to rely on a filtering component to intercept and collect impurities in the operation process, the filtering component can gradually accumulate the impurities when continuously running, the filtering resistance is increased along with the accumulation of the impurities, the water circulation efficiency is reduced, the cleaning capacity is attenuated along with the filtration resistance, and the problems of blockage, shutdown or maintenance alarm and the like can be also caused in serious cases. Therefore, the filter assembly needs to be cleaned or replaced in time to maintain a stable operating state of the apparatus. However, in the prior art, maintenance of the filter assembly has relied on manual intervention, wherein after the filter assembly is full, a user is usually required to take out or pull the device from water to a convenient position, or when the pool cleaning device is automatically landed, the upper cover of the pool cleaning device is opened, and then the trash basket is taken out for dumping, flushing, airing or replacing, and then the device is reassembled for use. The maintenance flow has the advantages of multiple steps, frequent operation, influence by factors such as wet and slippery water environment, unreachable equipment position, time cost of users and the like, and the condition of untimely maintenance easily occurs in actual use, so that the cleaning efficiency of equipment is reduced, and continuous operation and unattended experience are influenced. Meanwhile, the dust-filled filter assembly can cause dirt dripping, secondary pollution or peculiar smell diffusion in the processes of disassembly, transportation and dumping, so that the use experience is further reduced. Disclosure of Invention The invention provides pool cleaning equipment and a control method thereof, which aims to solve the problem that the service efficiency is affected due to the complicated maintenance process of the pool cleaning equipment in the prior art. According to a first aspect of an embodiment of the invention there is provided a pool cleaning device comprising: The machine body is provided with a water inlet and a water outlet; The pumping assembly is arranged in the machine body and used for driving water to enter from the water inlet and be discharged through the water outlet; The filter assembly is arranged in the machine body and comprises a garbage basket, wherein the garbage basket comprises a working garbage basket and a clean garbage basket to be replaced, and the working garbage basket is arranged on a flow passage between the water inlet and the water outlet so that water entering the machine body under the action of the pumping assembly flows through the working garbage basket and is discharged out of the machine body after being filtered by the working garbage basket; the garbage basket replacing assembly is arranged in the machine body and is used for replacing the working garbage basket after dust is full with the clean garbage basket. Through set up rubbish basket and change the subassembly in the fuselage, make the work rubbish basket after the dirt is full can be by automatic change for waiting to trade clean rubbish basket of usefulness to reduce the operation frequency that the user took out the water surface with pond cleaning device, dismouting filter assembly and manual fall rubbish/wash/change, promote pond cleaning device's continuous operation ability and unmanned on duty use experience, reduce maintenance time cost and use burden. The working garbage basket is arranged on a runner between the water inlet and the water outlet, so that water formed by driving of the pumping assembly can continuously flow through the working garbage basket and complete impurity interception, and under the cooperation of the garbage basket replacement assembly, replacement can be completed in time before and after the working garbage basket is full of dust to increase the filtering resistance, flow attenuation, blockage risk rising and abnormal pumping load increasing caused by full dust are avoided, stable water circulation and filtering efficiency are maintained, and the running reliability and cleaning effect consistency of the whole machine are improved. In some exemplary embodiments of the present invention, based on the foregoing aspects, the plurality of c
