Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of cleaning equipment, and in particular to a power-on control system and a power-on control method. Background Art

[0002] With the development of social economy, people's requirements for living hygiene standards have been improved and their cleaning experience has changed. Various cleaning equipment such as floor scrubbers, sweepers and sweeper-mops have entered people's lives. They can complete the floor cleaning work very well, bring great convenience to people, and help people get rid of heavy housework.

[0003] Due to different cleaning scenarios, the cleaning units required for cleaning equipment are also different. For example: when the ground is very dirty, a single cleaning unit cannot clean it completely, and the cleaning unit needs to be replaced in the middle to continue cleaning to prevent secondary pollution. When the stains on the ground are difficult to clean, it is necessary to replace cleaning units of different strengths and materials. When cleaning areas with different ground materials, it is necessary to replace the cleaning unit suitable for the ground material. However, how to prevent the use of incompatible cleaning parts (such as roller brushes) in existing sweepers needs further solution.

[0004] In view of this, it is indeed necessary to provide a power-on control system and a power-on control method to solve the above problems. Summary of the invention

[0005] The object of the present invention is to provide a power-on control system and a power-on control method for cleaning equipment, which solves the problem of how to prevent the use of incompatible cleaning parts.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides a power-on control system for a cleaning device, the power-on control system comprising an identification unit, an electrical connection unit and a control unit.

[0007] As a further improvement of the present invention, the contact connecting the first electrical connection part and the second electrical connection part is an electrical connection point, and the control unit determines the target contact corresponding to the recognition result based on the recognition result, and when the position of the electrical connection point is consistent with the position of the target contact, the first electrical connection part is electrically connected to the second electrical connection part.

[0008] As a further improvement of the present invention, after the control unit determines the target contact, the control unit controls the target contact to enter a power-on state.

[0009] As a further improvement of the present invention, after the control unit determines the target contact, the control unit compares whether the electrical connection point is consistent with the target contact. When the electrical connection point is consistent with the target contact, the first electrical connection part is electrically connected to the second electrical connection part.

[0010] As a further improvement of the present invention, the cleaning member includes a plurality of different cleaning members, and positions of electrical connection points between the plurality of different cleaning members and the main body of the cleaning device are different.

[0011] As a further improvement of the present invention, the power-on control system further includes an alarm unit, which is communicatively connected to the control unit.

[0015] S2: the control unit receives the recognition result of the recognition unit, and determines the target contact corresponding to the recognition result according to the recognition result;

[0016] S3: The control unit determines whether the electrical connection point between the first electrical connection part and the second electrical connection part is consistent with the target contact. When the electrical connection point is consistent with the target contact, the first electrical connection part and the second electrical connection part are electrically connected; otherwise, the first electrical connection part is not electrically connected to the second electrical connection part.

[0017] As a further improvement of the present invention, in step S3, after the control unit determines the target contact, the control unit controls the target contact to enter a power-on state.

[0018] As a further improvement of the present invention, in step S3, after the control unit determines the target contact, the control unit compares whether the electrical connection point is consistent with the target contact. When the electrical connection point is consistent with the target contact, the control unit controls the first electrical connection part to be electrically connected to the second electrical connection part.

[0019] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the present invention identifies the ground material information through the identification unit, and the control unit controls the electrical connection between the first electrical connection part and the second electrical connection part according to the identification result.

[0028] It can be known that the aforementioned floor materials can be divided into soft floors and hard floors. For example, carpet floors belong to soft floors, and wooden floors or tile floors belong to hard floors.

[0029] The electrical connection unit 2 includes a first electrical connection part 21 and a second electrical connection part 22, and the first electrical connection part 21 is located on the main body of the cleaning device. The second electrical connection part 22 is located at a position corresponding to the first electrical connection part 21 of the cleaning member. A first contact is provided on the first electrical connection part 21, and a second contact is provided on the second electrical connection part 22 at a position corresponding to the first electrical connection contact.

In a preferred embodiment, the first contact and the second contact are in a one-to-one correspondence, and the number of the first contact and the number of the second contact are four, and they are arranged in an array. It can be known that the number and arrangement of the first contact and the second contact in the present application are only exemplary and should not be limited to this. In the present application, the electrical connection method of the contact contact between the cleaning member and the main body of the cleaning device makes the power transmission between the cleaning member and the main body of the cleaning device more stable.

[0030] The control unit 3 is respectively connected to the recognition unit 1 and the first electrical connection part 21 for communication. The control unit 3 determines the target contact corresponding to the recognition result according to the recognition result of the recognition unit 1. When the position of the electrical connection point is consistent with the position of the target contact, the first electrical connection part 21 is electrically connected to the second electrical connection part 22. In one embodiment, after the control unit 3 determines the target contact, the control unit 3 controls the target contact to enter the power-on state.

When the electrical connection point is consistent with the target contact, the first electrical connection part 21 is electrically connected to the second electrical connection part 22.

[0031] It can be known that the cleaning member includes several different cleaning members, and the positions of the electrical connection points between the several different cleaning members and the main body of the cleaning device are different. When the types of the electrical connection points between the cleaning member and the main body of the cleaning device are n, the number of corresponding cleaning members is at most Wherein, n≥1, and n is an integer. Preferably, there are four types of electrical connection points, and the number of cleaning members is four, wherein the four types of electrical connection points correspond to the four first contacts one by one. The specific types of electrical connection points can be set according to actual use requirements, and this application does not make further restrictions on this.

[0032] Furthermore, the power-on control system 100 also includes an alarm unit 4, which is communicatively connected to the control unit 3. When the second electrical connection portion 22 is incompatible with the first electrical connection portion 21, the control unit 3 controls the alarm unit 4 to send an alarm signal. The setting of the alarm unit 4 can remind the user to remove the current incompatible cleaning parts in real time, and then replace the compatible cleaning parts, thereby improving the user's experience. It can be known that the alarm unit 4 includes but is not limited to one or more of a flasher, an alarm light and a buzzer.

Preferably, the drive unit 5 is a drive motor.

[0034] See also Figure 4 As shown, the present invention also discloses a power-on control method, which applies the above-mentioned power-on control system 100 and includes the following steps:

[0035] S1: The recognition unit 1 recognizes the ground material and sends the recognition result to the control unit 3.

[0036] S2: The control unit 3 receives the recognition result of the recognition unit 1, and determines the target touch point corresponding to the recognition result according to the recognition result.

[0037] S3: The control unit 3 determines whether the electrical connection point of the first electrical connection part 21 and the second electrical connection part 22 is consistent with the target contact. When the electrical connection point is consistent with the target contact, the first electrical connection part 21 is electrically connected to the second electrical connection part 22; otherwise, the first electrical connection part 21 is not electrically connected to the second electrical connection part 22.

[0038] Among them, in one embodiment, in step S3, after the control unit 3 determines the target contact, the control unit 3 controls the target contact to enter the power-on state. If the electrical connection point is consistent with the target contact, the second electrical connection part 22 is directly electrically connected to the first electrical connection part 21. Otherwise, because the second electrical connection part 22 is connected to a non-target contact that is not powered, the second electrical connection part 22 cannot enter the electrical connection state, indicating that this cleaning part is an unmatched cleaning part. At this time, the control unit 3 can control the alarm unit 4 to send an alarm signal to remind the user to remove the current unmatched cleaning part, and then replace the matching cleaning part, thereby improving the user's experience. In another embodiment, in step S3, after the control unit 3 determines the target contact, the control unit 3 compares whether the electrical connection point is consistent with the target contact. When the electrical connection point is consistent with the target contact, the control unit 3 controls the first electrical connection part 21 to be electrically connected to the second electrical connection part 22.

[0039] In summary, the present invention identifies the ground material information through the identification unit 1, and the control unit 3 controls the electrical connection between the first electrical connection part 21 and the second electrical connection part 22 according to the identification result. When the cleaning piece is adapted to the main body of the cleaning device, the control unit 3 controls the electrical connection between the first electrical connection part 21 and the second electrical connection part 22, thereby effectively preventing the use of incompatible cleaning pieces. Secondly, the contact point electrical connection method between the cleaning piece and the main body of the cleaning device makes the power transmission more stable. Furthermore, by identifying the ground material, the power of the driving unit 5 is adjusted in time to make the power of the driving unit 5 adapted to the ground material, thereby achieving precise control of the power of the driving unit 5 and improving the user experience.
