Bidirectional cleaning device

Abstract

This innovative two-way cleaning machine addresses the shortcomings of conventional cleaning devices in terms of functionality. The machine comprises: a carrier module with a carrier body, a drive unit, an image sensor for detecting and determining the size of dirt, and a processing module coupled to both the drive unit and the image sensor; a first cleaning unit located at the front of the carrier module; and a second cleaning unit located at the rear of the carrier module. Compared to the first cleaning unit, the second cleaning unit is suitable for cleaning larger dirt. The processing module determines whether to use the first or second cleaning unit to clean the corresponding dirt based on the size determined by the image sensor. This innovative two-way cleaning machine can switch between cleaning methods according to the size of the dirt, thus improving cleaning efficiency.

Claims

1. A two-way cleaning machine, comprising: a carrier module (1), comprising: a carrier body (11); a drive unit (12) for driving the carrier body (11) to move; an image sensor (13) disposed on the carrier body (11) and used to detect and determine whether the size of the dirt to be processed is not less than a size threshold; and a processing module (14) coupled to the drive unit (12) and the image sensor (13) respectively; a first cleaning unit (2) disposed on the front side of the carrier module (1); and a second cleaning unit (3) disposed on the rear side of the carrier module (1); wherein, compared with the first cleaning unit (2), the second cleaning unit (3) is suitable for cleaning larger dirt; The processing module (14) determines whether to use the first cleaning unit (2) or the second cleaning unit (3) to clean the corresponding dirt based on the size of the dirt determined by the image sensor (13).

2. The two-way cleaning machine as described in claim 1, wherein, When the image sensor (13) determines that the size of the dirt is smaller than the size threshold, the processing module (14) decides to clean the corresponding dirt with the first cleaning unit (2); when the image sensor (13) determines that the size of the dirt is not smaller than the size threshold, the processing module (14) decides to clean the corresponding dirt with the second cleaning unit (3).

3. The two-way cleaning machine as described in claim 1, wherein, The first cleaning unit (2) defines a dust collection space (20) inside and has a dust collection port (21) communicating with the dust collection space (20), and has a cleaning element (22) disposed adjacent to the dust collection port (21); optionally, the first cleaning unit (2) has an enhanced cleaning member (23) disposed in the dust collection port (21), the enhanced cleaning member (23) extends along an axial direction and has spirally arranged bristles, so that dirt will be rolled into the dust collection space (20) by rotating the enhanced cleaning member (23) axially.

4. The two-way cleaning machine as described in claim 3, wherein, The dust collection space (20) has a capacity detector (S1) inside, which is used to detect the amount of dust used inside the dust collection space (20); the processing module (14) is coupled to the capacity detector (S1) so as to generate a corresponding warning or reminder when it is determined that the amount of dust used reaches a preset amount of dirt.

5. The two-way cleaning machine as described in claim 1, wherein, The second cleaning unit (3) has a cleaner (31), a back plate (32), a cleaning channel (30) defined by the back plate (32) and the cleaner (31), and a dirt container (33) adjacent to the cleaning channel (30). When the cleaner (31) is operating, dirt will be swept into the cleaning channel (30) from below by the action of the cleaner (31), and as the cleaner (31) continues to operate, it will be discharged from the top of the cleaning channel (30) into the dirt container (33).

6. The two-way cleaning machine as described in claim 5, wherein, The second cleaning unit (3) also has two side guide plates (34) or an upper guide plate (35); the two side guide plates (34) are respectively disposed on both sides of the outer end of the cleaner (31) and are flared in the direction away from the cleaner (31); the upper guide plate (35) is disposed above the cleaning channel (30) to guide the dirt discharged above the cleaning channel (30) into the dirt receiving part (33).

7. The two-way cleaning machine as described in claim 5, wherein, The second cleaning unit (3) also has a height detector (S2) for detecting the height of dirt contained in the dirt container (33); the processing module (14) is coupled to the height detector (S2) to generate a corresponding warning or reminder when it is determined that the dirt height has reached a preset height.

8. The bidirectional cleaning machine as described in claim 1, further comprising a grip (4) disposed on the carrier body (11), and the grip (4) having a grip (41) extending above the carrier body (11) for a user to lift the bidirectional cleaning machine by grasping the grip (41).

9. The two-way cleaning machine as described in claim 1, wherein, At least one obstacle sensing unit (5) is provided on the front, rear, left and right sides of the vehicle body (11). Each obstacle sensing unit (5) is coupled to the processing module (14) to detect obstacles around the bidirectional cleaning machine and control the drive unit (12) to avoid obstacles through the processing module (14).

10. A two-way cleaning machine as described in any one of claims 1 to 9, wherein, The image sensor (13) has at least one image capturing unit (131) and an image recognition model (132); each of the image capturing units (131) is used to capture an image of a region to be cleaned on the movement path of the vehicle module (1); the image recognition model (132) is coupled to each of the image capturing units (131) and the processing module (14) respectively, so as to receive and identify whether the size of the dirt in the image of the region to be cleaned is not less than the size threshold.
