[0051] like Figure 2 As shown, the smart home device can use a stove cleaning device, which can be integrated with the stove or can be separated. The smart home device is mainly used to clean the area to be cleaned on the stove 10. According to actual conditions, the area to be cleaned on the stove can be one or more areas, such as designated cleaning positions such as the stove wall 11, the stove panel 12, and the stove top 13.

[0052] In this embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, the smart home device includes: a washing arm 21, a clean water pipe 22, a detergent pipe 23, an image sensor and a controller.

[0053] The cleaning arm 21 is directly used to clean the area to be cleaned, which includes three areas: the stove wall 11, the stove panel 12, and the stove table 13. The cleaning arm 21 includes a cleaning block 211 and a mechanical arm 212. The mechanical arm 212 is arranged on the stove 10, and the mechanical arm 212 has a disassembled state and an assembled state. The cleaning block 211 can be a rag or a sponge.

[0054] When the robot arm 212 is in the assembled state, the gripping end of the robot arm 212 is connected to the cleaning block 211, that is, when the robot arm 212 is in the assembled state, the robot arm 212 grips the cleaning block 211. When the robot arm 212 is in the disassembled state, the gripping end of the robot arm 212 is separated from the cleaning block 211, that is, when the robot arm 212 is in the disassembled state, the robot arm 212 is separated from the cleaning block 211.

[0055] The clean water pipe 22 is used to provide clean water. A first induction switch is provided on the clean water pipe 22. When the robot arm 212 or the cleaning block 211 approaches the clean water pipe 22, the first induction switch is turned on, and the robot arm 212 or the cleaning block 211 can be cleaned through the clean water pipe 22.

[0056] The detergent pipe 23 is used to provide detergent. A second induction switch is provided on the detergent pipe 23. When the robot arm 212 or the cleaning block 211 approaches the detergent pipe 23, the second induction switch is turned on, and detergent can be added to the robot arm 212 or the cleaning block 211 through the detergent pipe 23.

[0057] A plurality of image sensors may be provided, and the image sensors are provided around the stove 10 or directly provided on the mechanical arm 212, and the image sensors can detect the cleaning status of the area to be cleaned and the cleaning block 211. The controller is electrically connected to the image sensor and the mechanical arm 212, and the controller is used to control the cleaning block 211 to perform self-cleaning using the clean water pipe 22 and / or the detergent pipe 23 or to control the cleaning block 211 or the mechanical arm 212 to clean the area to be cleaned according to the cleaning status.

[0058] Before the smart home device is turned on, you can upload photos of daily large solid waste (such as vegetable leaves, discarded paper towels, etc.) through image sensors or in the corresponding smart home butler applications of mobile phones, tablets and other electronic devices. The photos include location information and photos of the clean water pipe 22, detergent pipe 23, stove wall 11, stove panel 12, stove table 13, etc., so that the image sensor can identify them. You can also upload specific location distribution information on the stove 10 so that the device can clean the designated area in a targeted manner later.

[0059] After the smart home device is turned on, the image sensor starts to obtain the cleaning status of the three areas of the stove wall 11, the stove panel 12, and the stove table 13 and the cleaning status of the cleaning block 211 according to the previously input information. For example, it is determined whether there is garbage on the stove wall 11, the stove panel 12, and the stove table 13, and whether it is necessary to clean the stove wall 11, the stove panel 12, the stove table 13 and the cleaning block 211 itself.

[0060] After determining the cleaning status of the three areas of the stove wall 11, the stove panel 12, and the stove top 13 and the cleaning status of the cleaning block 211, according to the corresponding cleaning status, the cleaning block 211 is controlled to perform self-cleaning or the cleaning block 211 or the robotic arm 212 is controlled to clean the stove wall 11, the stove panel 12, and the stove top 13.

[0061] When the cleaning block 211 performs self-cleaning, it is necessary to first obtain the position of the cleaning block 211, control the robot arm 212 to complete docking with the cleaning block 211, and move the cleaning block 211 to the cleaning agent pipeline 23 and the clean water pipeline 22, first add cleaning agent to the cleaning block 211 through the cleaning agent pipeline 23, and then complete the cleaning of the cleaning block 211 through the clean water pipeline 22. In this way, the cleaning block 211 itself is cleaned.

[0062] When using the cleaning block 211 to clean the stove wall 11, the stove panel 12, and the stove top 13, it is necessary to first obtain the position of the cleaning block 211 and the coordinates of the position to be cleaned, control the robotic arm 212 to complete the docking with the cleaning block 211, and use the robotic arm 212 to move the cleaning block 211 to the position to be cleaned, thereby completing the cleaning of the corresponding position.

[0063] When the cleaning block 211 is not needed to clean the stove wall 11 , the stove panel 12 , and the stove tabletop 13 , it is only necessary to obtain the coordinates of the positions that need to be cleaned, and use the robot arm 212 to complete the cleaning of the corresponding positions.

[0064] In addition, smart home devices can be linked with stoves, range hoods, etc., and can understand the switch status of the range hood and stove, and the image acquisition device can monitor the situation of the stove 10 in real time. In this way, the cloud control platform can monitor whether the user has finished using the stove 10. When it is recognized that the user has finished using the stove, the automatic cleaning program is started to clean the convenient or necessary parts.

[0065] The smart home device provided by the present application can free the user's hands, effectively save the user's cleaning time, and improve the cleaning efficiency by setting a mechanical arm with a detachable cleaning block on the stove, setting corresponding clean water pipes and detergent pipes controlled by induction, and using an image sensor to detect the cleaning state of the area to be cleaned and the cleaning block, and using a controller to control the cleaning block to perform self-cleaning or control the cleaning block or the mechanical arm to clean the area to be cleaned. At the same time, it will not cause environmental pollution or waste of resources, and can achieve automatic cleaning.

[0066] It should be noted that the smart home device can clean the entire stove and the walls nearby, not limited to the stove wall 11 , the stove panel 12 , and the stove top 13 .

[0067] In one embodiment provided in the present application, the smart home device further includes: a trash can 24. The trash can 24 is arranged at the edge of the stove 10.

[0068] The controller is used to control the mechanical arm 212 to transfer the garbage to the garbage bin 24 when it is detected that the garbage in the area to be cleaned exceeds the cleaning size. When it is detected that the garbage in the area to be cleaned does not exceed the cleaning size, the cleaning block 211 is controlled to clean the area to be cleaned.

[0069] Specifically, when it is detected that the garbage in the area to be cleaned exceeds the cleaning size, for example, when the image sensor identifies a large piece of solid garbage, the image sensor obtains the first coordinate of the area to be cleaned and the second coordinate of the garbage can 24. Based on the first coordinate and the second coordinate, the robot arm 212 is controlled to move the garbage to the garbage can 24.

[0070] That is, the image sensor recognizes that there are large pieces of solid waste (such as vegetable leaves, discarded paper towels, etc.) in at least one of the stove wall 11, stove panel 12, and stove top 13. Since it cannot be cleaned by the cleaning block 211 at this time, the location of the large piece of solid waste (first coordinate) and the location of the trash can 24 (second coordinate) are identified, and the solid waste is picked up, swept or pushed into the fixed trash can 24 placed on the edge of the stove 10.

[0071] It should be noted that if a light sweep or light push method is adopted, the third coordinate of the cleaning block 211 and the first coordinate of the area to be cleaned and the second coordinate of the trash can 24 can also be obtained before processing. The robotic arm 212 is used to first complete the docking of the cleaning block 211, and then the robotic arm 212 is used to drive the cleaning block 211 to lightly sweep or push it into the fixed trash can 24 placed on the edge of the stove 10.

[0072] When it is detected that the garbage in the area to be cleaned does not exceed the cleaning size, for example, when the image sensor recognizes oil stains, the first coordinate of the area to be cleaned and the third coordinate of the cleaning block 211 are obtained. Based on the first coordinate and the third coordinate, the cleaning block 211 is controlled to clean the area to be cleaned.

[0073] That is, when the image sensor recognizes that there is oil stain on at least one of the stove wall 11, the stove panel 12, and the stove top 13, and it is impossible to clean it by the robotic arm 212 at this time, the position of the oil stain (first coordinate) and the position of the cleaning block 211 (third coordinate) are identified, and the robotic arm 212 is used to complete the docking of the cleaning block 211, and then the cleaning block 211 completes the cleaning of the corresponding position.

[0074] In addition, the smart home device can be integrated with the stove, that is, the smart home device can work with other stoves, or can be separated. For example, when the trash can 24 is electronically controlled, the smart home device can be used in conjunction with the trash can 24, and when the mechanical arm 212 and the cleaning block 211 clean the area to be cleaned, the trash can 24 automatically opens. When the cleaning stops, the trash can 24 automatically closes.

[0075] To facilitate user control, the smart home device also includes: an intelligent voice module. The intelligent voice module is electrically connected to the controller, used to detect voice signals, and send the detected voice signals to the controller, using the sound signals to control the entire smart home device.

[0076] The user can wake up the smart home device at any time through a voice signal (for example, voice start) to clean the designated area, such as cleaning the stove wall 11, stove panel 12, stove top 13 and other locations, or perform other specific operations, such as self-cleaning the cleaning block 211.

[0077] When the cleaning tool is cleaning the stove, if it conflicts with the user's work, the user can stop the smart home device at any time through a voice signal (for example, voice off), and the mechanical arm 212 twists and squeezes the dry cleaning block 211 and retracts the mechanical arm 212.

[0078] In addition, the user's motion signals can be obtained through the image sensor, and the detected motion signals can be sent to the controller, and the motion signals can be used to control the entire smart home device.

[0079] The user can wake up the smart home device at any time through the action signal to clean the designated area, such as cleaning the stove wall 11, the stove panel 12, the stove table 13 and other locations, or perform other specific operations, such as self-cleaning the cleaning block 211.

[0080] When the cleaning tool is cleaning the stove, if it conflicts with the user's work, the user can stop the smart home device at any time through an action signal, and the mechanical arm 212 will twist and squeeze the dry cleaning block 211 and retract the mechanical arm 212.

[0081] To facilitate remote control, the smart home device also includes: a signal transmitter and a signal receiver. The signal transmitter is electrically connected to the controller and the image sensor, and an electronic device (mobile phone, tablet, etc.) is used to establish a communication connection with the signal transmitter. The signal receiver is electrically connected to the controller, and the signal receiver is used to receive the control signal and send the received control signal to the controller.

[0082] For example, when the user does not turn on automatic cleaning and forgets to issue a cleaning instruction to the device after cooking, and only remembers it when leaving home, the image data of the image acquisition device can be obtained through an electronic device, and the electronic device can be used to issue instructions to remotely turn on the smart home device or direct its operation.

[0083] In summary, the smart home device can realize remote control of the cleaning device through the electronic device smart home management software, and can monitor the cleaning effect in real time and perform voice commands.

[0084] The present application also provides a method for controlling a smart home device. Figure 3 As shown, the control method includes the following steps:

[0085] Step S310: Acquire the cleaning status of the area to be cleaned and the cleaning block.

[0086] like Figure 2 As shown, the area to be cleaned includes three areas: a stove wall 11 , a stove panel 12 , and a stove top 13 .

[0087] Before the smart home device is turned on, you can upload photos of daily large solid waste (such as vegetable leaves, discarded paper towels, etc.) through image sensors or in mobile smart home management applications such as mobile phones and tablets. The photos include location information and photos of the clean water pipe 22, detergent pipe 23, stove wall 11, stove panel 12, stove top 13, etc., so that the image sensor can identify them. You can also upload specific location distribution information on the stove 10 so that the device can clean the designated area in a targeted manner later.

[0088] After the smart home device is turned on, the image sensor starts to obtain the cleaning status of the three areas of the stove wall 11, the stove panel 12, and the stove table 13 and the cleaning status of the cleaning block 211 according to the previously input information. For example, it is determined whether there is garbage on the stove wall 11, the stove panel 12, and the stove table 13, and whether it is necessary to clean the stove wall 11, the stove panel 12, the stove table 13 and the cleaning block 211 itself.

[0089] Step S320: According to the cleaning state, the cleaning block is controlled to perform self-cleaning or the cleaning block or the robot arm is controlled to clean the area to be cleaned.

[0090] After determining the cleaning status of the three areas of the stove wall 11, the stove panel 12, and the stove top 13 and the cleaning status of the cleaning block 211, according to the corresponding cleaning status, the cleaning block 211 is controlled to perform self-cleaning or the cleaning block 211 or the robotic arm 212 is controlled to clean the stove wall 11, the stove panel 12, and the stove top 13.

[0091] When the cleaning block 211 performs self-cleaning, it is necessary to first obtain the position of the cleaning block 211, control the robot arm 212 to complete docking with the cleaning block 211, and move the cleaning block 211 to the cleaning agent pipeline 23 and the clean water pipeline 22, first add cleaning agent to the cleaning block 211 through the cleaning agent pipeline 23, and then complete the cleaning of the cleaning block 211 through the clean water pipeline 22. In this way, the cleaning block 211 itself is cleaned.

[0092] When using the cleaning block 211 to clean the stove wall 11, the stove panel 12, and the stove top 13, it is necessary to first obtain the position of the cleaning block 211 and the coordinates of the position to be cleaned, control the robotic arm 212 to complete the docking with the cleaning block 211, and use the robotic arm 212 to move the cleaning block 211 to the position to be cleaned, thereby completing the cleaning of the corresponding position.

[0093] When the cleaning block 211 is not needed to clean the stove wall 11 , the stove panel 12 , and the stove tabletop 13 , it is only necessary to obtain the coordinates of the positions that need to be cleaned, and use the robot arm 212 to complete the cleaning of the corresponding positions.

[0094] In addition, the smart home device can be linked with the stove, range hood, etc., and the switch status of the range hood and stove can be understood, and the image acquisition device can monitor the situation of the stove 10 in real time. In this way, the cloud control platform can monitor whether the user has finished using the stove 10. When it is recognized that the user has finished using the stove, the automatic cleaning program is started to clean the parts that are convenient or need to be cleaned. This smart home device can monitor the user's usage status through the image acquisition device and the device interconnection function, and automatically and timely self-clean the stove, thereby avoiding the situation where oil accumulation makes it difficult to clean, and at the same time giving the user the best refreshing experience every time they cook.

[0095] The control method of the smart home device provided by the present application is to set a mechanical arm with a detachable cleaning block on the stove, set a corresponding clean water pipe and detergent pipe controlled by induction, use an image sensor to detect the cleaning state of the area to be cleaned and the cleaning block, and use a controller to control the cleaning block to perform self-cleaning or control the cleaning block or the mechanical arm to clean the area to be cleaned. The smart home device can free the user's hands, effectively save the user's cleaning time, and improve the cleaning efficiency. At the same time, it will not cause environmental pollution or waste of resources, and can achieve automatic cleaning.

[0096] like Figure 4 As shown, step S320: according to the cleaning state, the step of controlling the cleaning block to perform self-cleaning or controlling the cleaning block or the robot arm to clean the area to be cleaned specifically includes:

[0097] Step S410: When the cleaning state of the area to be cleaned does not meet the preset requirement, but the cleaning state of the cleaning block meets the preset requirement, the cleaning block or the robot arm is controlled to clean the area to be cleaned.

[0098] When it is determined that at least one of the stove wall 11, the stove panel 12, and the stove tabletop 13 has garbage that needs to be cleaned, and the cleaning block 211 does not need to be cleaned, the cleaning block 211 or the robot arm 212 is controlled to clean the area to be cleaned.

[0099] Specifically, when it is detected that the garbage in the area to be cleaned exceeds the cleaning size, for example, when the image sensor identifies a large piece of solid garbage, the image sensor obtains the first coordinate of the area to be cleaned and the second coordinate of the garbage can 24. Based on the first coordinate and the second coordinate, the robot arm 212 is controlled to move the garbage to the garbage can 24.

[0100] That is, the image sensor recognizes that there are large pieces of solid waste (such as vegetable leaves, discarded paper towels, etc.) in at least one of the stove wall 11, stove panel 12, and stove top 13. Since it cannot be cleaned by the cleaning block 211 at this time, the location of the large piece of solid waste (first coordinate) and the location of the trash can 24 (second coordinate) are identified, and the solid waste is picked up, swept or pushed into the fixed trash can 24 placed on the edge of the stove 10.

[0101] It should be noted that if a sweeping or pushing method is adopted, the third coordinate of the cleaning block 211 and the first coordinate of the area to be cleaned and the second coordinate of the trash can 24 can also be obtained before processing, and the docking of the cleaning block 211 can be completed by using the robotic arm 212, and then the cleaning block 211 is driven by the robotic arm 212 to sweep or push it into the fixed trash can 24 placed on the edge of the stove 10.

[0102] When it is detected that the garbage in the area to be cleaned does not exceed the cleaning size, for example, when the image sensor recognizes oil stains, the first coordinate of the area to be cleaned and the third coordinate of the cleaning block 211 are obtained. Based on the first coordinate and the third coordinate, the cleaning block 211 is controlled to clean the area to be cleaned.

[0103] That is, when the image sensor recognizes that there is oil stain on at least one of the stove wall 11, the stove panel 12, and the stove top 13, and it is impossible to clean it by the robotic arm 212 at this time, the position of the oil stain (first coordinate) and the position of the cleaning block 211 (third coordinate) are identified, and the robotic arm 212 is used to complete the docking of the cleaning block 211, and then the cleaning block 211 completes the cleaning of the corresponding position.

[0104] Step S420: When the cleaning state of the area to be cleaned meets the preset requirement, but the cleaning state of the cleaning block does not meet the preset requirement, control the cleaning block to perform self-cleaning.

[0105] The cleaning state of the cleaning block 211, the third coordinate of the cleaning block 211, the fourth coordinate of the clean water pipe 22 and the fifth coordinate of the detergent pipe 23 are obtained. Based on the cleaning state of the cleaning block 211 and the third, fourth and fifth coordinates, the cleaning block 211 is controlled to perform self-cleaning.

[0106] Specifically, when the cleaning state of the cleaning block 211 meets the cleaning conditions, the cleaning block 211 can be cleaned. After the robotic arm 212 completes the docking with the cleaning block 211, it controls the cleaning block 211 to move to the clean water pipe 22, and uses clean water to grasp and soak the cleaning block 211. The robotic arm 212 squeezes the water in the cleaning block 211 to an appropriate amount before wiping and cleaning.

[0107] When the cleaning state of the cleaning block 211 does not meet the cleaning conditions, the cleaning ability of the cleaning block 211 is reduced. After the robot arm 212 completes the docking of the cleaning block 211, the cleaning block 211 is controlled to move to the detergent pipe 23 and the clean water pipe 22, the cleaning block 211 is taken under the clean water pipe 22 for soaking, and placed at the liquid outlet of the detergent pipe 23 to take a small amount of cleaning liquid, the cleaning block 211 is grasped and cleaned, and then rinsed with clean water under the clean water pipe 22.

[0108] In actual use, after the image sensor identifies the garbage, it will first clean up the large solid garbage. The image sensor picks up the objects identified as large solid garbage in the sight, or gently sweeps or pushes them into the fixed garbage bin 24 placed on the edge of the stove.

[0109] Then, the second round of cleaning begins. The mechanical arm 212 picks up the cleaning block 211 at a specific position of the stove 10, controls the cleaning block 211 to be grasped and soaked in the clean water pipeline 22, and the mechanical arm 212 squeezes the water in the cleaning block 211 to a proper amount before wiping and cleaning.

[0110] After monitoring that the cleaning ability of the cleaning block 211 decreases, the cleaning block 211 is taken to the clean water pipe 22 for soaking, and placed at the liquid outlet of the detergent pipe 23 to take a small amount of cleaning liquid, and the cleaning block 211 is grasped and cleaned, and then rinsed with clean water under the clean water pipe 22. And return to the previous position to continue cleaning. During the cleaning process, block cleaning can be carried out in steps, that is, the principle is to clean one part and then clean another part, so as to avoid large-scale inefficient smearing and make the stove 10 dirtier. If there is no inductive detergent pipe 23 and clean water pipe 22, two clean water tanks can be used instead, one is a clean water tank containing detergent, and the other is a clean water tank without detergent. The first cleaning block 211 is soaked in the clean water tank and squeezed dry, and then the first cleaning is started. When it is found that the cleaning effect of the cleaning block 211 is not good, it is taken back to the clean water tank for cleaning. In order to avoid excessive detergent affecting the cleaning effect, it is necessary to perform a secondary cleaning in the clean water tank before cleaning the countertop or wall.

[0111] After the image sensor detects that the entire stovetop 10 has been cleaned, the robotic arm 212 is automatically retracted and shut down.

[0112] The present application also provides a control method for a smart home device, such as Figure 5 As shown, the following steps are included:

[0113] Step S510: Collect the user's voice signal for the smart home device.

[0114] Step S520: determining whether the user is a designated user according to the voice signal.

[0115] During the operation of smart home devices, the smart home is equipped with a function to collect voice signals. The smart home device pre-stores the voice information of the designated user, matches the voice signal according to the voice information, and determines whether it is the designated user when the match is successful. If the match is unsuccessful, it means that it is not the designated user.

[0116] Step S530: If the user is a designated user, a control instruction corresponding to the voice signal is obtained.

[0117] Step S540: controlling the cleaning block to perform self-cleaning or controlling the cleaning block or the robot arm to clean the area to be cleaned according to the control instruction.

[0118] When it is determined that the user is a designated user, the intelligent voice module in the smart home device determines the control instruction corresponding to the voice signal, and controls the cleaning block to perform self-cleaning or controls the cleaning block or the robot arm to clean the area to be cleaned according to the control instruction.

[0119] Specifically, the user can wake up the smart home device at any time through a voice signal (for example, voice start) to clean the designated area, such as cleaning the stove wall 11, stove panel 12, stove top 13 and other locations, or perform other specific operations, such as self-cleaning the cleaning block 211.

[0120] When the cleaning tool is cleaning the stove, if it conflicts with the user's work, the user can stop the smart home device at any time through a voice signal (for example, voice off), and the mechanical arm 212 twists and squeezes the dry cleaning block 211 and retracts the mechanical arm 212.

[0121] In addition, the user's motion signals can be obtained through the image sensor, and the detected motion signals can be sent to the controller, and the motion signals can be used to control the entire smart home device.

[0122] The user can wake up the smart home device at any time through the action signal to clean the designated area, such as cleaning the stove wall 11, the stove panel 12, the stove table 13 and other locations, or perform other specific operations, such as self-cleaning the cleaning block 211.

[0123] When the cleaning tool is cleaning the stove, if it conflicts with the user's work, the user can stop the smart home device at any time through an action signal, and the mechanical arm 212 will twist and squeeze the dry cleaning block 211 and retract the mechanical arm 212.

[0124] The present application also provides a control method for a smart home device, such as Figure 6 As shown, the control method includes the following steps:

[0125] Step S610: Receive a control signal.

[0126] The energy home device also includes: a signal transmitter and a signal receiver.

The signal receiver is electrically connected to the controller, and the signal receiver is used to receive a control signal and send the received control signal to the controller.

[0127] Step S620: Acquire a control instruction corresponding to the control signal.

[0128] After receiving the control signal, the signal receiver determines the control instruction corresponding to the control signal based on the control signal. The control signal includes various control commands for controlling the robot arm 212, such as cleaning or self-cleaning operations.

[0129] Step S630: controlling the cleaning block to perform self-cleaning or controlling the cleaning block or the robot arm to clean the area to be cleaned according to the control instruction.

[0130] After the signal receiver determines the control instruction, it controls the cleaning block to perform self-cleaning or controls the cleaning block 211 or the robot arm 212 to clean the area to be cleaned according to the control instruction.

[0131] For example, when the user does not turn on automatic cleaning and forgets to issue a cleaning instruction to the device after cooking, and only remembers it when leaving home, the image data of the image acquisition device can be obtained through an electronic device, and the electronic device can be used to issue instructions to remotely turn on the smart home device.
