Problems solved by technology

The setting of the suction nozzle can effectively clean the ground at the edge of the wall and the corner, and the cleaning effect is good, and when there is no need to clean the corner or encounter obstacles, it can intelligently retract the suction nozzle protruding from the robot body; If the mouth protrudes outward, there will be a distance between the robot body and the wall. This distance will affect the sensing of the edge sensor, resulting in a deviation of the route. Therefore, this structure is not suitable for cleaning equipment that includes an edge sensor.

Embodiment 1

[0039] like figure 1 As shown, the present embodiment provides a cleaning method for a cleaning robot having a main suction port and a side suction port, and the method includes the following steps:

[0040] S10: The cleaning robot is working, cleaning through the main suction port and detecting obstacles at the same time;

[0041] In this step, the user starts the preset mode of the cleaning robot by pressing the button or remote control (such as automatic cleaning mode), and then opens the main suction port to perform the operation of cleaning while moving (due to the different mode settings, some cleaning robots It may be driving forward while rotating), and at the same time, the cleaning robot will start to detect the presence of obstacles.

[0042] S20: Determine whether to open the side suction port according to the obstacle detection result.

[0043] In this step, the cleaning robot does not detect any obstacles, and will maintain the previous working state; but if an...

Embodiment 2

[0047] like figure 2 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and the previous embodiments is that this embodiment provides a more intelligent cleaning method, and the step S10 also includes:

[0048] S11: Detect the dust concentration while detecting obstacles;

[0049] In this step, the cleaning robot is also equipped with a dust concentration detection function. When detecting obstacles, it will also detect the dust concentration within the corresponding radius.

[0050] S12: Judging whether to drive forward according to the dust concentration value.

[0051]In this step, the cleaning robot receives the feedback of the dust concentration and compares it with the preset dust concentration threshold. If the feedback dust concentration is lower than the preset dust concentration threshold, the cleaning robot is controlled to move forward. If the feedback dust concentration is greater than or equal to If the dust concentration threshold is preset, the corresponding c...

Embodiment 3

[0061] like image 3 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 2 is that this embodiment provides a cleaning method with a more prominent cleaning effect, wherein the dust concentration detection is not performed simultaneously with the obstacle detection, and the step S20 also include:

[0062] S22: If an obstacle is detected, detect the dust concentration;

[0063] In this step, if and only when the cleaning robot detects that there is an obstacle, the dust concentration detection function will be triggered, which is more energy-saving than the simultaneous detection of dust concentration and obstacle detection in Embodiment 2.

[0064] S23: Determine whether to open the side suction port according to the dust concentration value.

[0065] In this step, there are two trigger conditions for opening the side suction port. The first is that an obstacle is detected, and the second is that the dust concentration is greater than or equal to the preset dust ...

Abstract

The invention discloses a sweeping method applicable to a sweeping robot with a main suction port and a lateral suction port. The method includes the steps of S10, the sweeping robot performs sweeping through the main suction port and detects obstacles; S20, whether to open the lateral suction port or not is determined according to the obstacle detection result. The method has the advantages that later dust suction of the robot is achieved by the lateral suction port, and the edge and corner sweeping ability of the robot is enhanced; the operation state of the lateral suction port is determined according to the obstacle detection result, and accordingly power consumption can be reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of robots, in particular to a cleaning method and a cleaning robot. Background technique [0002] With the development of industrial technology, many devices have been intelligentized. Sweeping robots are also called cleaning robots, which can move and clean automatically without human operation. The cleaning modes of most cleaning robots are also intelligent. At present, the following four cleaning modes are generally integrated: automatic cleaning mode, Also called random cleaning mode, the machine will perform random automatic cleaning work according to different environments; fixed-point cleaning mode, also called hard-hit area mode, will automatically switch modes in special places such as dusty areas, and perform rotary cleaning. It can make the cleaning effect better; in the edge cleaning mode, the cleaning robot will automatically clean along the edge of the wall; in the reservation cleaning mode, l...
