Movable cleaning device and control method thereof

Abstract

The invention discloses a movable cleaning device and a control method thereof. The device comprises a walking unit, a sweeping unit, an imaging unit, an identifying unit and a control unit, wherein the walking unit is used for driving the movable cleaning device to move in a working area; the sweeping unit is used for rotating to sweep sundries in the working area; the imaging unit is used for capturing the images of the sundries swept by the sweeping unit; the identifying unit is electrically connected with the imaging unit, is used for receiving the images captured by the imaging unit, and moreover identifies whether the sundries swept by the sweeping unit belong to a specific type of sundries or not according to the images; the control unit is electrically connected with the identifying unit and the walking unit, is used for receiving an identification result from the identifying unit, and moreover controls the walking operation of the walking unit according to the identification result. Thus, the types of the swept sundries can be detected quite well; moreover the sweeping operation is reasonably arranged according to the types of the sundries.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to the field of signal processing, and more particularly relates to a movable cleaning device and a control method thereof. Background technique [0002] With the development of science and technology, a variety of mobile cleaning equipment has emerged, such as sweeping robots, mopping robots, glass cleaning robots, window cleaning robots, etc. The mobile cleaning equipment can automatically perform cleaning operations in its working area, reducing the labor burden of users. Taking the floor-sweeping robot as an example, it can realize the automatic cleaning of debris on the ground through direct brushing, vacuuming and other technologies. [0003] However, none of the current mobile cleaning devices has the ability to detect the type of debris. For example, the sweeping robot does not care what kind of debris it is dealing with in the process of cleaning the ground, it just cleans up indiscriminately. This leads to t...

Problems solved by technology

This leads to the fact that during the autonomous cleaning process, if there is adhesive dirt such as ice cream, pet feces, etc. on the ground, the sweeping robot will directly press it, making its cleaning unit full of dirt, and pushing the dirt to continue moving forward. Spread the dirt all over the floor of the house, even the carpet, which brings great distress and economic loss to the owner

[0004] Therefore, the cleaning mode of existing movable cleaning equipment is not ideal enough
