Problems solved by technology

However, such a control method cannot fully guarantee the smooth work of the sweeping robot.
The height of various furniture from the ground is inconsistent, and the height of some households is just close to the area that the sweeping robot itself can enter. The work in the area is stuck and cannot continue to work. Therefore, when many families use the sweeping robot, they basically keep the sweeping robot out of their sight. When the sweeping robot cannot judge by itself or gets stuck, adjust it in time.
In addition, during the automatic operation of the sweeping robot, a large number of electronic components are working, which will cause great interference to other nearby electronic equipment terminals. strong interference

Embodiment 1

[0028] A sweeping robot area cleaning image control method. Such as figure 1 , the sweeping robot 10 is an intelligent robot, which has cleaning path memory function, working surface image generation function and working surface image processing function. The sweeping robot is provided with a cleaning control terminal, and the cleaning control terminal is a remote control terminal. The cleaning control terminal is a remote controller 21 that has the function of image processing on the working surface and is matched with the sweeping robot. Such as figure 2 , the working surface of the present embodiment is the ground of a residential house, and the house includes a hallway 01, a living room 02, a master bedroom 03, a second bedroom 04, a third bedroom 05, and a dining room 06; it also includes a bathroom, a kitchen and a balcony. The bathroom, kitchen and balcony do not need to be cleaned by the sweeping robot. Therefore, in this embodiment, the cleanable areas of the resi...

Embodiment 2

[0037] An image control method for area cleaning of a sweeping robot. This embodiment is an improvement of the image control method for area cleaning of a sweeping robot described in Embodiment 1.

[0038] Such as figure 1, in this embodiment, the cleaning control terminal is a computer device 22 installed with area cleaning image control software. In this embodiment, a wireless router 23 is installed in the residence, and the computer equipment as a cleaning control terminal is connected to the wireless router through a cable or wireless communication, and the wireless router communicates with the sweeping robot 10 through wireless communication (WIFI, Bluetooth). Using computer equipment as the cleaning control terminal has the advantage that the computer equipment has powerful data processing capabilities and can support a variety of image processing software. In the cleaning area selection operation as described in step 4, more image area division and selection can be supp...

Embodiment 3

[0040] An image control method for area cleaning of a sweeping robot. This embodiment is an improvement of the image control method for area cleaning of a sweeping robot described in Embodiment 1.

[0041] Such as figure 1 , in this embodiment, the cleaning control terminal is a mobile phone 24 installed with area cleaning image control software. In this embodiment, a wireless router 23 is provided in the house, and the wireless router communicates with the cleaning robot 10 through wireless communication (WIFI, Bluetooth).

Abstract

The invention relates to an area cleaning image control method of a robot cleaner. The robot cleaner has a cleaning path memory function, a working face image generating function and a working face image processing function, and the robot cleaner is provided with a cleaning control terminal; initial cleaning is conducted on a working face by the robot cleaner, and a cleaning path is recorded; according to the cleaning path, a working face area image is generated, a copy of the working face area image is transmitted to the cleaning control terminal, the cleaning control terminal selects a cleaning area in the working face area image, and the robot cleaner matches the selected cleaning area with the working face area image so as to determine a travelling path. The method has the advantages that the robot cleaner creates the working face area image and the corresponding cleaning path according to a specified house, so that the situation that control is out of operation due to the influence of environmental factors is avoided; the cleaning control terminal controls the robot cleaner in a remote control mode, the robot cleaner can be flexibly controlled to clean a specified area, and the influence on activities of indoor people is avoided.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of sweeping robots, and in particular relates to an image control method for area cleaning of a sweeping robot. Background technique [0002] The current household sweeping robot automatically detects the position of various obstacles in the room during cleaning work, and avoids obstacles to clean the ground. However, such a control method cannot fully guarantee the smooth work of the sweeping robot. The height of various furniture from the ground is inconsistent, and the height of some households is just close to the area that the sweeping robot itself can enter. The area operation is stuck and cannot continue to work. Therefore, when many families use the sweeping robot, they basically keep the sweeping robot out of their sight. When the sweeping robot cannot judge by itself or gets stuck, it should be adjusted in time. In addition, during the automatic operation of the sweeping robot, there are a large number of ...
