[0002] With the increase of air pollution and the spread of infectious diseases, the monitoring and purification of indoor air quality in homes has become particularly important. In recent years, with the advancement of robotics technology, intelligent and mobile household air purification robots have become a research hotspot in the field of indoor air purification. However, the existing household air purification robots still have some limitations in home applications. Some household air purification robots adopt a fixed position design, which limits the purification range and can only improve the air quality of local spaces in the home, making it difficult to meet the purification needs of large areas and multiple rooms. Although some air purification robots have the ability to move autonomously, the movement path is often preset or highly random, lacking path planning, resulting in blind movement and repeated purification, reducing purification efficiency.

[0061] like Figure 2 As shown, the air purification method comprises the following steps:

[0062] S1, the microprocessor plans the patrol path of the mobile unit, controls the mobile unit to move along the patrol path, and stays at the data collection location for a certain period of time;

[0063] S2. At each data collection location, the concentration of various air pollutants in different areas of the home is detected by a multi-parameter air quality sensor, the number of particles of different particle sizes in the air of different areas of the home is measured by a laser particle counter to detect the concentration of particles in the air, and the bioaerosol sensor is used to detect the bioaerosol in the air of different areas of the home. The detection data of the multi-parameter air quality sensor, the laser particle counter and the bioaerosol sensor are transmitted to the microprocessor, and the detection data are fused through a multimodal data fusion algorithm;

[0064] S3, combining historical detection data and fused real-time sensor detection data, using clustering algorithms to identify air quality hotspots;

[0065] S4, taking the air quality hotspot area, each room of the home and obstacles as nodes, using the shortest path algorithm to plan the purification path of the mobile unit, so that it covers the air quality hotspot area with the shortest path, and the microprocessor controls the mobile unit to move according to the planned purification path;

[0066] S5. The microprocessor starts the air purification unit in a timely manner according to the real-time detection data of the sensor, so that the air passes through the primary filter, activated carbon filter, high-efficiency particulate air filter and ultraviolet sterilization lamp according to the purification strategy, thereby removing pollutants and pathogenic microorganisms in the air.

[0067] like Figure 3 As shown, in step S2, the multimodal data fusion algorithm includes the following steps:

[0068] S201, perform standardization processing on each test data, and the mathematical expression of the standardization processing is:

[0069]

[0070] In the formula, is the standardized data, x i is the detection data of the i-th sensor, μ i is the mean value of the i-th sensor, σ i is the standard deviation of the i-th sensor;

[0071] S202, weighted fusion is performed on the standardized data of each sensor, and the mathematical expression of weighted fusion is:

[0072]

[0073] Where z is the initial fusion feature vector obtained after weighted fusion, w i represents the weight coefficient of the i-th sensor, and its constraints are

[0074] S203: Input the preliminary fused feature vector into the deep learning model for further fusion, and output the air quality index.

[0075] Among them, the deep learning model is a multi-layer perceptron model, and its forward propagation process is expressed as:

[0076]

[0077] In the formula, h 1 ,h 2 ,…,h l represents the hidden layer of the model, σ represents the activation function, which is selected as ReLU in this embodiment, and W 1 ,W 2 ,…,Wl ,W out represents the weight matrix of each layer of the model, b 1 ,b 2 ,…,b l ,b out The bias vectors representing each layer of the model, the weight matrix and the bias vector are used as learnable parameters and are optimized through model training.

[0078] The loss function of the multi-layer perceptron model is:

[0079]

[0080] Where θ is the weight matrix and bias vector of each layer of the multilayer perceptron model, N is the number of training samples, and y i is the true air quality index value of the i-th sample, Represents the air quality index value predicted by the multi-layer perceptron model;

[0081] θ is updated through the back-propagation algorithm and the optimizer to minimize the loss function L(θ).

[0082] The above steps of the multimodal data fusion algorithm combine weighted averaging and deep learning. First, the multi-sensor data is preliminarily fused through weighted averaging, and then the fused data is input into the deep learning model for feature extraction and further fusion. Finally, the deep learning model outputs the air quality index AQI, which serves as an important basis for the subsequent steps of identifying air quality hotspots.

[0083] like Figure 4 As shown, in step S3, the clustering algorithm is an improved K-means clustering algorithm, and its input includes the historical air quality data set Time weight α, space weight β, maximum number of clusters K max , and its output is the clustering result C = C 1 ,C 2 ,…,C K Among them, x i represents the air quality index value (AQI value) of the i-th sample, t i represents the timestamp of the i-th sample, s i Represents the spatial coordinates of the i-th sample.

[0084] The improved K-means clustering algorithm includes the following steps:

[0085] S301, air quality index value x i , timestamp t i , spatial coordinates s i Normalize it and map it to the interval [0,1];

[0086] S302, calculating the mean and standard deviation of the air quality index values ​​in the historical detection data set D, selecting samples with air quality index values ​​greater than μ+σ as candidate initial cluster centers, and randomly selecting multiple samples from the candidate initial cluster centers as initial cluster centers; where μ is the sample mean of the historical detection data set D, and σ is the sample standard deviation of the historical detection data set D;

[0087] S303, for each sample in the sensor real-time detection data after fusion processing, calculate its weighted distance with each cluster center, and the calculation formula is: Where, d ij is the weighted distance between the i-th sample and the j-th cluster center, x i is the air quality index value of the i-th sample, t i is the timestamp of the i-th sample, s i is the spatial coordinate of the i-th sample, is the air quality index value of the jth cluster center, is the timestamp of the j-th cluster center, is the spatial coordinate of the jth cluster center; each sample is assigned to the cluster center with the closest weighted distance to it to form a new cluster; the center of each cluster is updated, and the update calculation formula is: In the formula, m j is the cluster center, C j is the jth cluster;

[0088] S304, calculating the difference between the current cluster center and the previous cluster center, the calculation formula is:

[0089]

[0090] If the difference is less than the preset threshold or reaches the maximum number of iterations, the iteration is stopped, otherwise, step S303 is repeated;

[0091] S305. For each final cluster, the mean and variance of the air quality index values ​​of its internal samples are calculated as representative indicators of the cluster, and the air quality hotspot areas are identified based on the representative indicators and spatial distribution of the cluster.

[0092] Among them, the maximum number of clusters K max The determination method is to calculate the clustering quality index SSE under the current cluster number k according to the clustering result of step S303. k , the calculation formula is:

[0093]

[0094] Then, calculate the current number of clusters k and SSE k The ratio r k ;

[0095] After that, draw kr k Curve, take the k value corresponding to the inflection point of the curve as the maximum cluster number K max .

[0096] The improved K-means clustering algorithm combines time weight, space weight and the determination of adaptive cluster number. By introducing time and space information, the algorithm can better capture the spatiotemporal correlation of air quality data, thereby obtaining better clustering results.

[0097] like Figure 5 As shown, in step S4, the air quality hotspot area, each room in the home and obstacles are taken as nodes and specifically include:

[0098] S401, the microprocessor stores the floor plan of each room of the home, takes the center point of each room as a node, and the connecting paths between the rooms as edges, and constructs a graph including a node set and an edge set;

[0099] S402: Add the center point of the air quality hotspot area and the obstacles in each room of the home as nodes to the graph. For the node representing the obstacle, set the edge weight between it and the adjacent room to a larger value.

[0100] In step S4, the shortest path algorithm is an improved Dijkstra algorithm, and the improved Dijkstra algorithm includes the following steps:

[0101] S403, making each node in the graph have an air quality index corresponding to the node, and each edge have a corresponding length weight;

[0102] S404. For each node v in the graph i ∈V, initialize the shortest path estimate d[v i ]=∞, that is, the shortest path length from the current position of the mobile unit to the node; the shortest path estimate of the initial starting point is zero, d[s]=0; the predecessor node of each node is initialized to none, prev[v i ]=None; Initialize the unvisited node set Q to all nodes, Q=V;

[0103] S405, select a node u with the smallest shortest path estimation value from the unvisited node set Q, and remove the node u from the unvisited node set Q. The selection formula is:

[0104]

[0105] In the formula, α is the air quality weight factor;

[0106] For each neighbor node v of node uj ∈Q, calculate the distance from the starting point through node u to node v j The path length is calculated as:

[0107] d new =d[u]+w uj +α·AQI j ;

[0108] Where d[u] is the shortest path estimate for node u, w uj For nodes u and v j The length weight of the edge between them, α is the air quality weight factor, AQI j For node v j The air quality index value; if d new <d[v j ], then update node v j The shortest path estimate of , and set its predecessor node to node u;

[0109] S406, repeating step S405 until the target node, i.e., the center point of the air quality hotspot area, has been visited, or the unvisited node set Q is empty;

[0110] S407 , starting from the target node, backtracking to the starting point according to the predecessor node information, generating an optimal path, and outputting the optimal path from the starting point to the target node as a purification path.

[0111] The improved Dijkstra algorithm introduces the air quality index AQI as a selection criterion in the node selection stage, and balances the importance of path length and air quality through the air quality weight factor. If α is large, the algorithm will give priority to nodes with high air quality priority, and if α is small, the algorithm will give priority to path length. When calculating the path length, the algorithm considers both the edge length weight and the node's air quality index AQI, thereby generating an optimal path that comprehensively considers path length and air quality. Therefore, the optimal path generated by the improved Dijkstra algorithm is not only the shortest path, but also takes into account the air quality along the way.

[0112] Furthermore, the robot body is also provided with a laser radar sensor. When the microprocessor controls the mobile unit to move according to the planned purification path, the air purification method further includes the following steps:

[0113] During the movement of the robot body, the environmental information of the home room is continuously collected through the lidar sensor, and the environmental map is updated in real time using the synchronous positioning and mapping algorithm. When a new obstacle is detected or the position of the original obstacle changes, the path re-planning is triggered. The improved Dijkstra algorithm is re-executed using the updated environmental map and obstacle information to generate a new purification path.

[0114] In step S5, the purification strategy includes:

[0115] The air quality index is obtained by fusing the real-time detection data of the sensor;

[0116] If the current air quality index is lower than the first threshold, the purification unit is put into the primary working state, and only the primary filter works to maintain air cleanliness;

[0117] If the current air quality index is between the first threshold and the second threshold, the purification unit is put into a normal working state, and the primary filter and the high efficiency particulate air filter work simultaneously;

[0118] If the current air quality index is between the second threshold and the third threshold, the purification unit is put into an enhanced working state, and the primary filter, the activated carbon filter and the high-efficiency particulate air filter work simultaneously;

[0119] If the current air quality index is higher than the third threshold, the purification unit is in super-strong working state, and the primary filter, activated carbon filter, high-efficiency particulate air filter and ultraviolet germicidal lamp work at the same time.

[0120] The air purification method of this embodiment uses a multimodal data fusion algorithm to fuse the detection data of each sensor, effectively integrates the information of different sensors, and analyzes historical detection data and real-time detection data through a clustering algorithm, thereby effectively identifying hot spots with poor air quality in the indoor environment. Compared with traditional random or full-area purification methods, it improves purification efficiency and robot utilization. This air purification method uses air quality hot spots, rooms and obstacles as nodes and uses the shortest path algorithm to plan the path of the mobile unit, so that the robot can cover all air quality hot spots with the shortest path, significantly improve the purification coverage efficiency, and reduce blind movement and repeated purification. This air purification method uses multi-stage air purification units such as primary filters, activated carbon filters, high-efficiency particulate air filters and ultraviolet germicidal lamps to comprehensively remove multiple pollutants in the air.

[0121] The principles and implementation methods of the present invention are described in this article using specific examples. The description of the above embodiments is only used to help understand the method and core ideas of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made to the present invention without departing from the principles of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
