Mobile cleaning equipment and control method thereof

Abstract

A movable cleaning device and a control method thereof are disclosed. The device includes: a walking unit for driving the movable cleaning device to move in a work area; a cleaning unit for rotating to clean the sundries in the work area; an imaging unit for capturing the cleaning unit an image of the cleaned debris; an identification unit, electrically connected to the imaging unit, for receiving an image captured by the imaging unit, and identifying whether the debris cleaned by the cleaning unit belongs to a specific object according to the image type of sundries; and a control unit, electrically connected with the identification unit and the walking unit, for receiving an identification result from the identification unit, and controlling the walking operation of the walking unit according to the identification result. Therefore, the type of debris to be cleaned can be well detected, and the cleaning operation can be reasonably arranged according to the type of debris.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to the field of signal processing, and more particularly, 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 appeared, such as sweeping robots, mopping robots, glass cleaning robots, window cleaning robots, etc. Mobile cleaning equipment can automatically perform cleaning operations in its work area, reducing the user's labor burden. Taking the sweeping robot as an example, it can automatically clean the sundries on the ground through technologies such as direct brushing and vacuuming. [0003] However, none of the current mobile cleaning equipment has the capability to detect the type of debris. For example, the sweeping robot does not care what kind of debris it is dealing with during the process of cleaning the ground, and just performs the cleaning operation indiscriminately. This leads ...

AI Technical Summary

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
