[0040] The following specific embodiments illustrate the implementation of the "temperature detection device" disclosed in this invention. Those skilled in the art can understand the advantages and effects of this invention from the content disclosed in this specification. This invention can be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and various details in this specification can also be modified and changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the concept of this invention. Furthermore, the accompanying drawings of this invention are for simple illustrative purposes only and are not depictions of actual dimensions; this is stated beforehand. The following embodiments will further describe the relevant technical content of this invention in detail, but the disclosed content is not intended to limit the scope of protection of this invention.

[0041] It should be understood that while terms such as "first," "second," and "third" may be used in this document to describe various components or signals, these components or signals should not be limited by these terms. These terms are primarily used to distinguish one component from another, or one signal from another. Furthermore, the term "or" as used herein should, as appropriate, include any combination of one or more of the related listed items.

[0042] Please see Figures 1 to 6B As shown, this is an embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment discloses a temperature detection device 100, which is suitable for use in a workplace 200 and can realize dynamic temperature monitoring and recording of the workplace 200, thereby effectively improving the safety of the workplace 200. Figures 1 to 3C As shown, the temperature detection device 100 in this embodiment includes a mobile carrier 1, a temperature sensor 2 installed on the mobile carrier 1, and a wireless connection unit 3, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, in other embodiments of the present invention not shown, the wireless connection unit 3 may be omitted or replaced by other components.

[0043] In this embodiment, for ease of understanding, the mobile carrier 1 is described below as a robotic vacuum cleaner, but the invention is not limited thereto. For example, in other embodiments not shown in this invention, the mobile carrier 1 may also be a window cleaning robot, a transport robot in a warehouse system, or an overhead hoist transfer (OHT) in a cleanroom. Furthermore, the mobile carrier 1 may serve only as a carrier for the temperature sensor 2 and may not possess the aforementioned transport or cleaning functions.

[0044] More specifically, in this embodiment, the mobile vehicle 1 includes a control module 11 and a map building module 12 electrically coupled to the control module 11. The control module 11 is also electrically coupled to the temperature sensor 2 and the wireless connection unit 3. The specific implementation of the above-mentioned components of the temperature detection device 100 can be adjusted and changed according to design requirements, and is not limited here.

[0045] The mobile vehicle 1 moves within the workplace 200 according to a preset schedule, enabling the map-building module 12 to create a digital work map D200 corresponding to the workplace 200. Further, when the cleaning robot (i.e., the mobile vehicle 1) is activated at a predetermined time, it will first move within the workplace 200 to create the digital work map D200 via the map-building module 12; however, the invention is not limited to this. For example, in other embodiments not shown in this invention, the mobile vehicle 1 may not include the map-building module 12.

[0046] When the mobile vehicle 1 moves according to the preset schedule, the temperature sensor 2 can detect the workplace 200 to generate a real-time temperature distribution T200 corresponding to the workplace 200. In this embodiment, the temperature sensor 2 is rotatably mounted on the mobile vehicle 1 so that the real-time temperature distribution T200 generated by the temperature sensor 2 can be three-dimensional (e.g., the temperature sensor 2 can detect the ceiling from the ground by rotating).

[0047] Furthermore, in this embodiment, when the mobile vehicle 1 performs an environmental cleaning operation in the workplace 200 according to the preset schedule, the temperature sensor 2 synchronously generates the real-time temperature distribution T200. That is, the preset schedule can be such that the mobile vehicle 1 performs the environmental cleaning operation periodically (or repeatedly), so when the mobile vehicle 1 performs the environmental cleaning operation each time, the temperature sensor 2 can synchronously generate (or update) the real-time temperature distribution T200, but the present invention is not limited to this.

[0048] For example, the mobile vehicle 1 can also be used to move within the workplace 200 according to a specified command. This specified command is a movement path planned by the user based on actual needs, so the preset schedule is just one form of the specified command. In other words, the mobile vehicle 1 can be used to move periodically or non-periodically within the workplace 200 according to the specified command. Furthermore, when the mobile vehicle 1 moves according to the specified command, the temperature sensor 2 can detect the workplace 200 to generate the real-time temperature distribution T200 corresponding to the workplace 200.

[0049] In this embodiment, the temperature detection device 100 transmits its temperature detection results to the outside world by means of the control module 11, which maps the real-time temperature distribution T200 onto the digital working map D200 to generate a temperature monitoring map M200, and the control module 11 transmits the temperature monitoring map M200 to an external device E (e.g., the user's mobile phone) via the wireless connection unit 3.

[0050] Furthermore, the temperature detection device 100 can also transmit its temperature detection results externally by having the control module 11 send an alert signal (e.g., sound signal, image signal, or text signal) to the external device E when the real-time temperature distribution T200 generated by the temperature sensor 2 has an abnormal temperature value. The alert signal sent by the control module 11 can present an abnormal area M201 in the workplace 200 where the abnormal temperature value is generated (e.g., marking the abnormal area M201 on the temperature monitoring map M200).

[0051] Accordingly, the temperature detection device 100 disclosed in this embodiment of the invention is equipped with the temperature sensor 2 via the mobile vehicle 1, so that when the mobile vehicle 1 moves in the workplace 200 according to the preset schedule (or the specified command), the temperature detection device 100 can realize dynamic monitoring and recording of the temperature in the workplace 200, thereby effectively improving the safety of the workplace 200 and expanding functions that are different from the past.

[0052] It should be noted that the abnormal temperature value is described in this embodiment using various different judgment methods that can be used in combination, so as to enable the temperature detection device 100 to accurately determine whether there is a temperature abnormality in the workplace 200 under different conditions, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0053] The first determination method: Before the temperature monitoring map M200 is established (or before comparing the real-time temperature distribution T200 with the temperature monitoring map M200), the control module 11 can be used to compare the real-time temperature distribution T200 with a preset temperature value, and if the difference between a temperature value of the real-time temperature distribution T200 and the preset temperature value is greater than a preset value, then it is defined as the abnormal temperature value.

[0054] The second method of judgment: Before the temperature monitoring map M200 is established (before comparing the real-time temperature distribution T200 with the temperature monitoring map M200), the control module 11 can be used to compare the real-time temperature distribution T200 with an ambient temperature value adjacent to the mobile vehicle 1, and if the difference between a temperature value of the real-time temperature distribution T200 and the ambient temperature value is greater than another preset value, then it is defined as the abnormal temperature value.

[0055] The third method of judgment: After the temperature monitoring map M200 is established, the control module 11 can be used to compare the real-time temperature distribution T200 with the temperature monitoring map M200, and if the difference between a temperature value of the real-time temperature distribution T200 and the corresponding temperature value of the temperature monitoring map M200 is greater than a preset value, then it is defined as the abnormal temperature value.

[0056] It should be noted that any information or data mentioned in the above-mentioned multiple judgment methods regarding the abnormal temperature value in this embodiment may be stored in a storage unit 13 within the mobile vehicle 1, and the control module 11 is electrically coupled to the storage unit 13 to judge the abnormal temperature value according to the above-mentioned multiple judgment methods, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0057] Accordingly, when the real-time temperature distribution T200 generated by the temperature sensor 2 has the abnormal temperature value, the mobile vehicle 1 stops the environmental cleaning operation, and the mobile vehicle 1 can move toward the abnormal area M201 in the workplace 200 that generates the abnormal temperature value to confirm the range of the abnormal area M201.

[0058] Furthermore, the temperature detection device 100 can not only monitor the temperature of the workplace 200, but also perform more in-depth temperature planning depending on the type of workplace 200 to which it is applicable. This embodiment will be described below using the mobile vehicle 1 as a robotic vacuum cleaner, but the invention is not limited thereto.

[0059] The temperature detection device 100 can be electrically coupled to at least one household appliance 300 (located within the workplace 200) via the wireless connection unit 3. In this embodiment, the number of the at least one household appliance 300 is multiple, and the wireless connection between the temperature detection device 100 and any of the household appliances 300 can be Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, or the initial communication can be via Bluetooth, while the subsequent data transmission can be via Wi-Fi.

[0060] As described above, in this embodiment, the temperature detection device 100 can be electrically coupled to all the household appliances 300 located in the workplace 200 through the wireless connection unit 3, thereby enabling the temperature detection device 100 to share temperature information with multiple household appliances 300, and thus enabling more comprehensive temperature planning for the workplace 200.

[0061] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 and Figures 4A to 5C As shown, when the real-time temperature distribution T200 generated by the temperature sensor 2 has the abnormal temperature value (located in the abnormal region M201), the control module 11 can be used to transmit a drive signal to at least one of the household appliances 300 to drive at least one of the household appliances 300 to operate and change the temperature value of the abnormal region M201.

[0062] For example, a plurality of household appliances 300 electrically coupled to the temperature sensing device 100 include a gas stove 302 and an air conditioning unit 301. Wherein, as Figure 2 and Figures 4A to 4C As shown, when the abnormal area M201 is located in the gas stove 302 (e.g., the gas stove 302 is left on), the control module 11 can transmit the drive signal to the gas stove 302 to drive it to stop operating, thereby changing or normalizing the temperature value of the abnormal area M201.

[0063] Or, such as Figure 2 and Figures 5A to 5C As shown, when the abnormal area M201 is within the sensing range of the air conditioning device 301 (e.g., the temperature within the sensing range is too high or too low), the control module 11 can transmit the drive signal to the air conditioning device 301 to drive it to blow air toward the abnormal area M201 (e.g., start the air conditioning device 301 to blow air, or change the blowing direction of the air conditioning device 301), thereby changing the temperature value of the abnormal area M201.

[0064] Furthermore, in other embodiments not shown in this invention, the plurality of household appliances 300 may also include a refrigerator and at least one power cord. The temperature detection device 100 can be used to detect abnormal temperature values ​​caused by the refrigerator door not being closed, and the temperature detection device 100 can also be used to detect abnormal temperature values ​​caused by the power cord aging or overload.

[0065] like Figure 2 and Figure 6A and Figure 6B As shown, when the mobile vehicle 1 is a robotic vacuum cleaner, the temperature detection device 100 can also be used to perform home care functions. For example, when the workplace 200 includes at least one room 400 for a person 401 or a pet 402 to live in, the mobile vehicle 1 can be used to move to at least one of the rooms 400 so that the temperature sensor 2 can detect the body temperature of the person 401 or the pet 402 to confirm the status of the person 401 or the pet 402.

[0066] [Technical Effects of the Embodiments of the Invention]

[0067] In summary, the temperature detection device disclosed in the embodiments of the present invention uses a mobile vehicle in conjunction with a temperature sensor to enable dynamic monitoring and recording of the temperature within the workplace when the mobile vehicle moves according to the preset schedule (or the specified command), thereby effectively improving the safety of the workplace and expanding functions that are different from those in the past.

[0068] Furthermore, the temperature detection device disclosed in the embodiments of the present invention can not only report the temperature of the workplace, but also realize more in-depth temperature planning according to the type of workplace to which it is applicable (e.g., the temperature detection device is electrically coupled to at least one household appliance located in the workplace through the wireless connection unit, so that the temperature detection device can share temperature information with at least one household appliance, thereby enabling more comprehensive temperature planning for the workplace).
