Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0024] Please see Figure 1 In this embodiment of the invention, an algorithm for sensing the concentration of dust in a vacuum cleaner includes the following steps:

[0025] S1: When dust enters the vacuum cleaner's air intake, the infrared transmitting and receiving circuit outputs a rapidly changing analog voltage between 0V and 5V.

[0026] S2: Sample the analog voltage at a sampling frequency of fHz. Sample N analog voltage values ​​within one dust concentration calculation period T. Calculate the maximum value V of the analog voltage within the current period T ((n-1)*T~nT) at each n*T (n=1,2,3,…) time point. max and minimum value V min Then calculate the maximum difference V of the analog voltage change within the current time interval T. diff ;

[0027] S3: Based on the voltage analog quantity difference V within the current calculation period T. diff The dust concentration value DustDensityNow in the current period T is calculated by combining the dust concentration value DustDensityLast from the previous calculation period.

[0028] S4:V diff When the value is 0, it means that no dust enters during the current period T, and the dust concentration DustDensityNow then decreases at a rate of DensityDelta / T.

[0029] S5: At each n*T (n=1,2,3,…) time, based on the dust concentration value DustDensityNow in the current period T, calculate the dust collection power Power in the next period T. The relationship between Power and DustDensityNow is a piecewise function.

[0030] S6: The relevant formula for concentration sensing is as follows:

[0031] V diff =V max -V min

[0032] DustDensityNow=DustDensityLast+α*V diff In the formula, α is the concentration.

[0033] Degree of increase factor;

[0034] α = (MaxDensity - DustDensityLast) * ρ / MaxDensity, where ρ is the concentration change factor, a positive constant that is adjusted according to the actual power change rate. MaxDensity is the maximum concentration value of 100.

[0035] Preferably, in step S1, when dust particles are continuously inhaled, a pulse-like waveform is also continuously output.

[0036] Preferably, in S2, the sampling period t = 1 / f seconds and N = T / t.

[0037] Preferably, S3 needs to limit the amplitude of DustDensityNow, with a maximum value of 100.

[0038] Preferably, the sampling frequency f ≥ 100Hz.

[0039] Preferably, DustDensityNow = DustDensityLast + α*V diff V diff It is a non-negative value.

[0040] This invention is based on the voltage analog quantity change curve output by the infrared transmitting-receiving circuit.

[0041] When dust enters the vacuum cleaner's suction port, the infrared transmitter and receiver circuit (sensor) outputs a rapidly fluctuating analog voltage (SensorVoltage) between 0V (MinVoltage) and 5V (MaxVoltage). This pulse-like waveform is continuously output as dust is continuously sucked in.

[0042] The analog voltage is sampled at a sampling frequency of fHz (sampling period t = 1 / f seconds). N (N = T / t) analog voltage values ​​are sampled within one dust concentration calculation period T. The maximum value V of the analog voltage within the current period T ((n-1)*T ~ nT) is calculated at each n*T (n = 1, 2, 3, ...) time point. max and minimum value V min Then calculate the maximum difference V of the analog voltage change within the current time interval T. diff .

[0043] Based on the voltage analog quantity difference V within the current calculation period T diff The dust concentration value DustDensityLast from the previous calculation period is used to calculate the dust concentration value DustDensityNow in the current period T. Finally, DustDensityNow needs to be limited, with a maximum value of 100 (MaxDensity).

[0044] V diff When the value is 0, it means that no dust enters during the current period T. Subsequently, the dust concentration DustDensityNow decreases at a rate of DensityDelta / T, and DensityDelta is adjusted according to the actual rate of decrease.

[0045] At each n*T (n=1,2,3,…) time, based on the dust concentration value DustDensityNow in the current period T, the suction power Power in the next period T is calculated. There is a piecewise function relationship between Power and DustDensityNow, which realizes the segmented control of the suction motor power. The segment point, the number of segments, and the power of each segment are adjusted according to the actual suction effect.

[0046] The relevant formulas for concentration sensing are as follows:

[0047] V diff =V max -V min

[0048] DustDensityNow=DustDensityLast+α*V diff In the formula, α is the concentration.

[0049] Degree of increase factor,

[0050] α = (MaxDensity - DustDensityLast) * ρ / MaxDensity, where ρ is the concentration change factor, a positive constant that is adjusted according to the actual power change rate requirement, and MaxDensity is the maximum concentration value of 100.

[0051] The sampling frequency f>=100Hz ensures that the peak value of the minimum voltage analog pulse can be sampled.

[0052] With f = 100Hz (t = 10ms) and T = 200ms, N = T / t = 20, the timeliness of dust concentration calculation is ensured, and the sensitivity of dust collection power change is taken into account, while also taking into account the stability of power change.

[0053] DustDensityNow=DustDensityLast+α*V diff V diff non-negative

[0054] This value ensures that the concentration of dust increases during inhalation, preventing sudden drops or rises in suction power.

[0055] Finally, it should be noted that the above descriptions are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
