Method for improving signal control of a cleaning robot, robot, device and medium

Abstract

Embodiments of the present application disclose a method, device, medium and equipment for improving signal control of a cleaning robot. The cleaning robot sends a signal for charging when it needs to be charged. A charging base receives the signal for charging from the cleaning robot. Once the signal is received, the charging base generates a direction signal according to the signal. The direction signal contains information required for navigating the cleaning robot to the charging base, such as a direction. The charging base sends the direction signal to the cleaning robot. After the robot receives the signal, it starts to automatically move to the charging base according to the direction signal. The cleaning robot reaches the charging base and starts a charging process. At this time, a monitoring system of the charging base starts to detect a charging current. If the charging current value is within a preset first current threshold range, the charging base generates a signal-off instruction. After the signal-off instruction is executed, the charging base turns off the emission of all signals, so as to reduce signal interference and improve the stability and accuracy of communication of the cleaning robot.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of cleaning robot technology, and in particular to a method, robot, device and medium for improving signal control of cleaning robots. Background Technology

[0002] The primary function of cleaning robots is to automatically clean surfaces. They are typically equipped with sensors to detect and avoid obstacles, enabling them to clean floors without human intervention. Suitable for various hard surfaces such as wood floors, tile, and carpets, they can vacuum, mop, or both. The main advantages of cleaning robots include saving time and labor, maintaining a clean home, and improving quality of life. With technological advancements, some advanced models can also be remotely controlled via apps and can even automatically return to their charging dock.

[0003] Existing cleaning robots are typically equipped with remote controls or can be controlled via a mobile app. However, when the cleaning robot returns to its charging dock, the charging dock emits a signal. When using the remote control, this signal (infrared) can interfere with the signal emitted by the charging dock (infrared), affecting the robot's normal operation. For example, while the robot is charging, interference between the charging dock's signal and the remote control's signal can cause signal distortion, preventing the robot from receiving the correct signal and leading to information transmission errors.

[0004] Secondly, while the cleaning robot is charging on the charging dock, the dock continuously emits signals, which leads to increased energy consumption and reduced lifespan, affecting the user experience.

[0005] One existing solution is to add additional signal receiving lights to enhance signal reception and address co-channel interference. However, this approach increases the probability of obtaining a signal by increasing the number of signal reception attempts, which cannot guarantee a significant increase in the signal reception probability and also increases energy consumption.

[0006] Another approach is to reduce the strength of the charging dock's signal or the wavelength of the remote control signal. While reducing the charging dock's signal strength slightly lowers its energy consumption and extends its lifespan, it also makes it difficult for the cleaning robot to locate itself during its automatic return to the charging dock. This can cause the robot to get lost or take longer to return. Reducing the wavelength of the remote control signal decreases its effective control distance, requiring users to get closer to the robot to control it, thus impacting the user experience. Summary of the Invention

[0007] Based on this, it is necessary to propose a method, robot, equipment, and medium for improving the signal control of cleaning robots to address the above problems.

[0008] A method for improving signal control of a cleaning robot, the method comprising:

[0009] Check if a charging signal has been received from the cleaning robot.

[0010] If the charging signal is received, a direction signal is generated based on the charging signal, and the direction signal is sent to the cleaning robot to control the cleaning robot to return to the charging station;

[0011] When the cleaning robot is charging, the charging current value is detected. If the charging current value is within the range of a first current threshold, a signal shutdown command is generated and executed to control the charging base to shut down the transmission of all signals during the charging process of the cleaning robot.

The specific steps include:

[0013] When the cleaning robot is charging, the charging current value at the charging interface is obtained within a first preset time. It is determined whether the charging current value is within the first current threshold range. If it is within the first current threshold range, a signal shutdown command is generated. The charging dock executes the signal shutdown command to control the charging dock to shut down the transmission of all signals during the charging process of the cleaning robot.

The steps before this include:

[0015] When the cleaning robot is charging, it checks whether a charging signal sent by the cleaning robot is received within a second preset time period;

[0016] If the charged signal is obtained, the charging current value at the charging interface is obtained within a first preset time period.

[0022] Real-time detection to see if a charging completion signal is received from the cleaning robot.

[0023] If the charging end signal is received, the charging end current value at the charging interface is detected within a third preset time. If the charging end current value is within the range of the second current threshold, a charging end command is generated. A safe range signal command is generated based on the charging end command and executed to form a safe range around the charging base, so as to prevent the cleaning robot from entering the safe range when working.

[0024] In at least one embodiment of this application, the method further includes:

[0025] If the charging end current value is not within the range of the second current threshold, a charging end abnormal signal is generated and sent to the client.

[0026] An apparatus for improving signal control of a cleaning robot, the apparatus comprising:

[0027] The signal receiving module is used to receive the charging signal sent by the cleaning robot;

[0028] The direction signal generation module generates a direction signal based on the signal to be charged and sends it to the cleaning robot to control the cleaning robot to return to the charging station.

[0029] The current detection module is used to detect the charging current when the cleaning robot is charging. If the charging current value is within the first current threshold range, a signal to shut down is generated.

[0030] The signal shutdown module executes the signal shutdown command to control the charging base to shut down the transmission of all signals during the charging process of the cleaning robot;

[0031] The device for improving signal control of the cleaning robot performs the following steps:

[0032] Check if a charging signal has been received from the cleaning robot.

[0033] If a charging signal is received, a direction signal is generated based on the charging signal and sent to the cleaning robot to control the cleaning robot to return to the charging station.

[0034] When the cleaning robot is charging, the charging current value is detected. If the charging current value is within the first current threshold range, a signal shutdown command is generated and executed to control the charging base to shut down the transmission of all signals during the charging process of the cleaning robot.

[0044] This invention provides a method, apparatus, medium, and device for improving signal control of a cleaning robot. The cleaning robot emits a charging signal when it needs charging. The charging dock can receive this charging signal from the cleaning robot. Once the signal is received, the charging dock generates a direction signal based on it. This direction signal contains information needed to navigate the cleaning robot to the charging dock, such as its orientation. The charging dock sends the direction signal to the cleaning robot. After receiving this signal, the robot automatically moves to the charging dock according to the direction signal. The cleaning robot arrives at the charging dock and begins the charging process. At this time, the charging dock's monitoring system begins to detect the charging current. If the charging current value is within a preset first current threshold range, the charging dock generates a signal shutdown command. After executing the signal shutdown command, the charging dock shuts off the transmission of all signals to reduce signal interference and improve the stability and accuracy of the cleaning robot's communication.

[0053] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. 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.

[0054] A method for improving signal control of a cleaning robot, the method comprising:

[0055] S101. Detect whether a charging signal has been received from the cleaning robot.

[0056] S102. If the charging signal is received, a direction signal is generated based on the charging signal, and the direction signal is sent to the cleaning robot to control the cleaning robot to return to charging.

[0057] S103. When the cleaning robot is charging, detect the charging current value;

[0058] S104. If the charging current value is within the range of the first current threshold, a signal shutdown command is generated and executed to control the charging base to shut down the transmission of all signals during the charging process of the cleaning robot.

[0059] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 In this embodiment, the cleaning robot automatically detects that it needs to be charged when the battery is low and sends a charging signal.

[0060] The charging dock can receive charging signals from the cleaning robot.

[0061] Once a signal is received, the charging dock generates a direction signal based on that signal. This direction signal contains information needed to navigate the cleaning robot to the charging dock, such as its orientation.

[0062] The charging dock sends a direction signal to the cleaning robot. Upon receiving this signal, the robot automatically moves to the charging dock based on the direction signal.

[0063] The cleaning robot arrives at the charging dock and begins the charging process. At this time, the charging dock's monitoring system begins to detect the charging current.

[0064] If the monitored charging current value is within the preset first current threshold range, it indicates that charging is proceeding normally, and the charging dock will generate a signal to shut down.

[0065] After executing the signal shutdown command, the charging dock shuts off all signal transmission to reduce signal interference and ensure the stability and efficiency of the charging process.

[0066] By shutting down signal transmission while the cleaning robot is charging, interference between signals is reduced, improving the stability and accuracy of communication.

[0067] By reducing unnecessary signal transmissions, energy consumption is reduced, thereby improving the energy efficiency and lifespan of the charging dock.

[0068] With precise directional signals, the cleaning robot can return to its charging dock more accurately and efficiently, optimizing the entire automatic navigation and charging process.

[0069] It should be noted that the charging signal is automatically sent by the cleaning robot when its battery is low.

[0070] The direction signal indicates the location and direction of the charging dock.

[0071] The first current threshold range is a pre-set current range.

[0072] The signal shutdown command instructs the charging dock to shut off all transmission signals.

[0073] It can effectively reduce signal interference that may occur during the charging process of cleaning robots, and improve the accuracy and reliability of signal transmission.

[0074] Turning off unnecessary signal transmissions can also reduce energy consumption, improve charging efficiency, and extend the lifespan of equipment.

[0075] In at least one embodiment of this application, when the cleaning robot is charging, the charging current value at the charging interface is acquired within a first preset time period, and it is determined whether the charging current value is within the first current threshold range. If it is within the first current threshold range, a signal shutdown command is generated, and the charging dock executes the signal shutdown command to control the charging dock to shut down the transmission of all signals during the charging process of the cleaning robot. The steps before this include:

[0076] S201. When the cleaning robot is charging, detect whether a charging signal sent by the cleaning robot is received within a second preset time.

[0077] S202. If the charged signal is obtained, the charging current value at the charging interface is obtained within a first preset time.

[0078] In at least one embodiment of this application, the method further includes:

[0079] S203. If the charged signal is not obtained, a first charging error signal is generated and sent to the client.

[0080] In at least one embodiment of this application, when the cleaning robot is charging, the charging current value is detected. If the charging current value is within a first current threshold range, a signal shutdown command is generated, and the signal shutdown command is executed to control the charging dock to shut off the transmission of all signals during the charging process of the cleaning robot. The specific steps include:

[0081] S204. When the cleaning robot is charging, the charging current value at the charging interface is acquired within a first preset time period, and it is determined whether the charging current value is within the range of the first current threshold.

[0082] S205. If the current is within the first current threshold range, a signal shutdown command is generated, and the charging dock executes the signal shutdown command to control the charging dock to shut down the transmission of all signals during the charging process of the cleaning robot.

[0083] In at least one embodiment of this application, the method further includes:

[0084] S206. If the charging current value is not within the range of the first current threshold, a second charging abnormality signal is generated and sent to the client.

[0085] Please refer to Figure 2 In this embodiment, when the cleaning robot's battery level drops to a certain point, it automatically sends a charging signal.

[0086] The charging standby signal is triggered by the cleaning robot's built-in power monitoring system, which is intended to notify the charging dock that it needs to be charged.

[0087] The charging dock can receive charging signals from the cleaning robot.

[0088] Once a signal is received, the charging dock generates a direction signal based on that signal. This direction signal contains information needed to navigate the cleaning robot to the charging dock, such as its orientation.

[0089] After the cleaning robot connects to the charging dock, the charging dock checks whether it has received a charging signal from the cleaning robot within a second preset time.

[0090] If the charging dock does not receive a charging signal within this second preset time, the charging dock will generate a first charging error signal and send this error signal to the client to warn the user of possible connection problems.

[0091] If the charging dock receives a charging signal within the second preset time, it then acquires the charging current value at the charging port within the first preset time to monitor whether the charging process is proceeding normally.

[0092] The charging dock determines whether the obtained charging current value is within the first current threshold range.

[0093] If the charging current value is within the first current threshold range, the charging dock generates a signal to shut down.

[0094] The charging dock executes the signal shutdown command, turning off all signal transmissions, such as infrared or wireless signals.

[0095] If the charging current value is not within the first current threshold range, the charging dock will generate a second charging abnormality signal and send the signal to the client to remind the user of possible charging problems.

[0096] By shutting down the transmission of unnecessary signals during charging, signal interference between devices is greatly reduced, ensuring communication stability and charging efficiency.

[0097] By accurately monitoring the charging current and promptly handling abnormal situations, the safety and reliability of the charging process are improved.

[0098] By sending real-time charging status and abnormal alerts to the client, users can promptly understand and resolve problems during the charging process, thereby improving the user experience.

[0099] This ensures that the charging process of the cleaning robot is efficient and safe, while reducing signal interference and improving overall system stability and user satisfaction.

[0100] It should be noted that the first preset time is a manually preset time period, such as within 30 seconds, within 1 minute, within 2 minutes, etc.

[0101] The first current threshold range is a manually preset charging current range, such as 10 amps to 20 amps.

[0102] The second preset time is a manually preset time period, such as within 30 seconds, within 1 minute, within 2 minutes, etc.

[0103] The "charged" signal is sent when the cleaning robot has established an electrical connection with the charging dock.

[0104] The charging current value is the current output from the charging interface of the self-charging dock.

[0105] The first charging error signal is when the charging dock does not receive a charging signal from the cleaning robot within a second preset time.

[0106] The second charging abnormality signal is when the charging dock and the cleaning robot are charging, but the charging current of the charging dock does not reach or exceed the preset charging current range, resulting in a charging abnormality.

[0107] In at least one embodiment of this application, the method further includes:

[0108] S301. Real-time detection of whether a charging completion signal is received from the cleaning robot.

[0109] S302. If the charging end signal is received, the charging end current value at the charging interface is detected within a third preset time.

[0110] S303. If the charging end current value is within the range of the second current threshold, a charging end command is generated, a transmission safety range signal command is generated based on the charging end command, and the transmission safety range signal command is executed to form a safety range around the charging base so as to prevent the cleaning robot from entering the safety range when working.

[0111] In at least one embodiment of this application, the method further includes:

[0112] S304. If the charging end current value is not within the range of the second current threshold, a charging end abnormal signal is generated and the charging end abnormal signal is sent to the client.

[0113] Please refer to Figure 3 In this embodiment, the cleaning robot sends a charging end signal after it finishes charging, and the charging base monitors the charging end signal in real time.

[0114] Once the charging dock receives the charging completion signal, it will detect the charging completion current value at the charging interface within a third preset time to confirm whether the charging process has been completed normally.

[0115] If the charging end current value is within the second current threshold range, the charging dock generates a charging end command. Subsequently, based on this command, the charging dock sends a safety range signal to ensure that the cleaning robot does not approach the charging area when starting work, avoiding interference or collisions.

[0116] If the charging end current value is not within the second current threshold range, the charging dock generates a charging end abnormal signal and sends it to the client, providing abnormal information about the charging process.

[0117] By accurately monitoring the current value at the end of charging and responding to abnormal situations, the accuracy and safety of the entire charging process are improved.

[0118] Setting a safe zone ensures that there will be no interference from cleaning robots near the charging dock, which is crucial for preventing equipment damage and improving operational safety.

[0119] Sending error signals to the client allows users to be promptly informed of any problems during the charging process and take appropriate action. This enhances user control over the device's status and improves the overall user experience.

[0120] Setting a safe range after charging helps prevent signal interference during the cleaning robot's operation, thus ensuring the robot's normal operation and efficient cleaning.

[0121] By precisely controlling and managing signals at critical moments, the charging efficiency and safety of the cleaning robot are significantly improved. Furthermore, real-time monitoring and abnormal signal feedback greatly enhance the reliability of the equipment and the ease of operation for users.

[0122] It should be noted that the charging end signal indicates that the charging process of the cleaning robot has been completed.

[0123] The third preset time is a manually preset time period, such as: within 30 seconds, within 1 minute, within 2 minutes, etc.

[0124] The safety range signal command sends a safety range signal to the charging dock to ensure that the cleaning robot does not approach the charging area when it starts working, thus avoiding interference or collision.

[0125] The charging completion abnormal signal is an abnormal signal generated at the charging interface of the charging dock after the cleaning robot has finished charging.

[0126] A device 400 for improving signal control of a cleaning robot, the device 400 comprising:

[0127] The signal receiving module 410 is used to receive the charging signal sent by the cleaning robot;

[0128] The direction signal generation module 420 generates a direction signal based on the signal to be charged and sends it to the cleaning robot to control the cleaning robot to return to the charging station.

[0129] The current detection module 430 is used to detect the charging current when the cleaning robot is charging. If the charging current value is within the first current threshold range, a signal shutdown command is generated.

[0130] The signal shutdown module 440 executes a signal shutdown command to control the charging base to shut down the transmission of all signals during the charging process of the cleaning robot;

[0131] The device 400 for improving signal control of the cleaning robot performs the following steps:

[0132] Check if a charging signal has been received from the cleaning robot.

[0133] If a charging signal is received, a direction signal is generated based on the charging signal and sent to the cleaning robot to control the cleaning robot to return to the charging station.

[0134] When the cleaning robot is charging, the charging current value is detected. If the charging current value is within the first current threshold range, a signal shutdown command is generated and executed to control the charging base to shut down the transmission of all signals during the charging process of the cleaning robot.

[0135] Please refer to Figure 4 In this embodiment, the signal receiving module 410 receives a charging signal sent by the cleaning robot. The device 400, which ensures improved signal control of the cleaning robot, can receive the robot's charging request signal.

[0136] The direction signal generation module 420 generates a direction signal based on the received charging signal. It processes the received charging signal and generates a direction signal to guide the cleaning robot to accurately return to the charging dock.

[0137] The current detection module 430 monitors the charging current of the cleaning robot during charging. If the detected current value is within a first current threshold range, the module generates a signal to shut down. It also monitors whether the charging process is proceeding normally.

[0138] The signal shutdown module 440 executes the signal shutdown command generated by the current detection module 430. After confirming that the charging current is within the normal range, it controls the charging base to shut down all unnecessary signal transmissions, such as infrared or radio signals, during the charging process of the cleaning robot to reduce interference.

[0139] The cleaning robot automatically detects when its battery is low and sends out a charging signal.

[0140] The device 400 for improving signal control of the cleaning robot is able to receive a charging signal from the cleaning robot.

[0141] Once a signal is received, the device 400 for enhancing the signal control of the cleaning robot generates a direction signal based on that signal. This direction signal contains information, such as orientation, required to navigate the cleaning robot to the device 400 for enhancing the signal control of the cleaning robot.

[0142] The device 400 for enhancing the signal control of the cleaning robot sends a direction signal to the cleaning robot. Upon receiving this signal, the robot begins to automatically move towards the device 400 for enhancing the signal control of the cleaning robot according to the direction signal.

[0143] The cleaning robot arrives at the device 400 that enhances the signal control of the cleaning robot and begins the charging process. At this time, the monitoring system of the device 400 that enhances the signal control of the cleaning robot begins to detect the charging current.

[0144] If the monitored charging current value is within the preset first current threshold range, it indicates that charging is proceeding normally, and the device 400 for improving the signal control of the cleaning robot will generate a signal shutdown command.

[0145] After executing the signal shutdown command, the signal control device 400 of the cleaning robot shuts off the transmission of all signals to reduce signal interference and ensure the stability and efficiency of the charging process.

[0146] By shutting down signal transmission while the cleaning robot is charging, interference between signals is reduced, improving the stability and accuracy of communication.

[0147] By reducing unnecessary signal transmissions, energy consumption is reduced, thereby improving the energy efficiency and lifespan of the charging dock.

[0148] With precise directional signals, the cleaning robot can return more accurately and efficiently to the device 400 that improves the signal control of the cleaning robot, optimizing the entire automatic navigation and charging process.

[0179] The charging dock sends a direction signal to the cleaning robot. Upon receiving this signal, the robot automatically moves to the charging dock based on the direction signal.

[0180] The cleaning robot arrives at the charging dock and begins the charging process. At this time, the charging dock's monitoring system begins to detect the charging current.

[0181] If the monitored charging current value is within the preset first current threshold range, it indicates that charging is proceeding normally, and the charging dock will generate a signal to shut down.

[0182] After executing the signal shutdown command, the charging dock shuts off all signal transmission to reduce signal interference and ensure the stability and efficiency of the charging process.

[0183] By shutting down signal transmission while the cleaning robot is charging, interference between signals is reduced, improving the stability and accuracy of communication.

[0184] By reducing unnecessary signal transmissions, energy consumption is reduced, thereby improving the energy efficiency and lifespan of the charging dock.

[0185] With precise directional signals, the cleaning robot can return to its charging dock more accurately and efficiently, optimizing the entire automatic navigation and charging process.

[0186] It should be noted that the charging signal is automatically sent by the cleaning robot when its battery is low.

[0187] The direction signal indicates the location and direction of the charging dock.

[0188] The first current threshold range is a pre-set current range.

[0189] The signal shutdown command instructs the charging dock to shut off all transmission signals.

[0190] It can effectively reduce signal interference that may occur during the charging process of cleaning robots, and improve the accuracy and reliability of signal transmission.

[0191] Turning off unnecessary signal transmissions can also reduce energy consumption, improve charging efficiency, and extend the lifespan of equipment.
