The control device controls the opening and closing of the water inlet valve, the starting and stopping of the driving part and the starting and stopping of the drainage pump. For example, when the sensor detects that the liquid level in the water box 1 is lower than the threshold value, the control device controls the water inlet valve to work according to the information of the sensor so as to fill clean water into the water box 1 in time. For another example, a discharge period, for example, 3 days, may be set as the discharge period, and after the discharge period, for example, 3 days, is reached, the control device controls the drain pump to be activated to automatically discharge the sewage in the water box 1. For another example, the control device may control the driving member to be activated to suck the dust in the dust collecting duct after the dust collector 20 is returned to the base and the dust collecting duct is communicated with the air path 2. Therefore, the dust collecting air duct in the dust collector 20 after leaving the base can be ensured to be cleaner, and the single working time of the dust collector 20 is prolonged. Thus, automatic water adding and draining operations are realized through the control device, and user operation is reduced.

It is understood that the discharge period of 3 days is only an example, the discharge period can be longer or shorter, and the discharge period can be set according to actual requirements, and is not listed here.
