The sweeping robot 10 is in a cooperative state and can meet the different working requirements of the dust collection system 100.

[0061] like Figure 5 As shown, the control method of the dust collection system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes:

[0062] Acquire real-time garbage information in the dust collecting part 21, for example, the garbage information in the dust collecting part 21 may be acquired through a collection module or by directly observing the garbage information in the dust collecting part 21;

[0063] Obtaining the cleaning condition of the dust collecting part 21, for example, the cleaning condition obtained may be that the dust collecting part 21 is full of garbage or the garbage in the dust collecting part 21 is moldy;

[0064] When the garbage information meets the cleaning conditions, a prompt message for cleaning the dust collecting part 21 is generated, so as to remind the user to clean the dust collecting part 21 in time, to avoid the dust collecting part 21 being full of garbage and not conducive to dust collection of the sweeping robot 10 or to avoid the garbage in the dust collecting part 21 from getting moldy, etc., to ensure the dust collection effect of the dust collecting system 100, so that the sweeping robot 10 has a good cleaning effect on the ground, and to ensure the health of the user. In this way, the visualization of the dust collecting part 21 can be realized, which is convenient for the user to judge the garbage information in the dust collecting part 21, and by obtaining the garbage information in the dust collecting part 21 in real time, the user can clean the garbage in the dust collecting part 21 in time, thereby improving the user's experience.

[0065] It should be noted that “obtaining real-time garbage information in the dust collecting part 21 ” here means continuously obtaining the garbage information in the dust collecting part 21 .

[0066] In some embodiments, the control method further comprises:

[0067] The cleaning robot 10 is in a mating state, in other words, the dust collection outlet 12 is connected to the dust collection port 22, and the second charging terminal is connected to the first charging terminal 24;

[0068] Controlling the dust collection mode of the dust collection station 20 to start, so as to collect dust from the sweeping robot 10 and meet the required dust collection requirements;

[0069] After the dust collection is completed, the dust collection station 20 is controlled to charge the sweeping robot 10, so as to meet the charging demand of the sweeping robot 10. Thus, the dust collection and charging control are performed separately by the dust collection system 100, so as to ensure the charging stability of the sweeping robot 10 and make the charging safer and more efficient.

[0070] According to the control method of the dust collection system 100 of the embodiment of the present invention, by obtaining real-time garbage information in the dust collecting part 21; obtaining the cleaning conditions of the dust collecting part 21; when the garbage information meets the cleaning conditions, generating prompt information for cleaning the dust collecting part 21, the dust collecting part 21 can be visualized, which is convenient for the user to judge the garbage information in the dust collecting part 21, and can remind the user to clean the garbage in the dust collecting part 21 in time to avoid the dust collecting part 21 being full of garbage and not conducive to the dust collection of the sweeping robot 10 or to avoid the garbage in the dust collecting part 21 from mildewing and other problems, thereby ensuring the dust collection effect of the dust collection system 100, so that the sweeping robot 10 has a good cleaning effect on the ground, and improving the user's experience.

[0071] Since the control method of the dust collection system 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention has the above-mentioned beneficial technical effects, the dust collection system 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention obtains real-time garbage information in the dust collecting part 21; obtains the cleaning conditions of the dust collecting part 21; when the garbage information meets the cleaning conditions, generates prompt information for cleaning the dust collecting part 21, thereby realizing visualization of the dust collecting part 21, facilitating the user to judge the garbage information in the dust collecting part 21, and reminding the user to clean the garbage in the dust collecting part 21 in time, avoiding the dust collecting part 21 from being full of garbage and being unfavorable for the dust collection of the sweeping robot 10 or avoiding the garbage in the dust collecting part 21 from becoming moldy, etc., thereby ensuring the dust collection effect of the dust collection system 100, making the sweeping robot 10 have a good cleaning effect on the ground, and improving the user's experience.

[0072] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 6 As shown, the cleaning conditions include:

[0073] The ratio of the current storage space value of the garbage in the dust collecting part 21 to the maximum storage space value of the garbage in the dust collecting part 21 reaches a threshold value. Therefore, the current storage space value of the garbage in the dust collecting part 21 can be controlled, and the position of the dust collecting part 21 occupied by the garbage in the dust collecting part 21 can be determined, so as to facilitate timely cleaning of the dust collecting part 21 and ensure the need for timely cleaning of the dust collecting part 21.

[0074] In some embodiments, the threshold value is less than or equal to 1, and the specific value can be set according to the actual situation. For example, the threshold value can be set before leaving the factory or by the user, which can meet the cleaning requirements of different amounts of garbage in the dust collecting part 21. In some specific embodiments, the threshold value can be 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 1, etc.

[0075] In some embodiments, a reminder component is provided on the dust collection station 20. When the ratio of the current storage space value of the garbage in the dust collection piece 21 to the maximum storage space value of the garbage in the dust collection piece 21 reaches a threshold, the reminder component can remind the user so that the user can clean the dust collection piece 21 in time after receiving the reminder information, thereby ensuring the dust collection effect of the dust collection system 100 and improving the user's experience.

[0076] In some embodiments, the reminder component may include various modules to ensure that the user can promptly find out that the ratio of the current storage space value of the garbage in the dust collecting part 21 to the maximum storage space value of the garbage in the dust collecting part 21 reaches a threshold.

[0077] For example, in some embodiments, the reminder component may include a display alarm module. For example, the display alarm module may be a constant light, a flashing light, a digital display, a text display, an icon display, and the like.

[0078] When the alarm module is displayed in digital form, the digital display can be a percentage showing the ratio of the current storage space value of the garbage in the dust collecting part 21 to the maximum storage space value of the garbage in the dust collecting part 21, so that the user can accurately know the current storage space value of the garbage, and can clean the dust collecting part 21 in time before or when the dust collecting part 21 is filled with garbage, so as to facilitate the subsequent dust collection of the dust collecting system 100 and ensure the normal operation of the dust collecting system 100.

[0079] For another example, in some embodiments, the reminder component may include a sound alarm module. For example, the sound alarm module may issue a voice reminder, a ring tone reminder, and the like.

[0080] Alternatively, in some embodiments, the reminder component may include a display alarm module and a sound alarm module, and can provide reminders in multiple ways to avoid neglect that causes garbage to fill up the dust collection part 21 and affect the dust collection effect of the dust collection system 100.

[0081] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 7 As shown, obtaining the garbage information in the dust collecting part 21 includes:

[0082] Acquire the garbage image in the dust collecting part 21 so that the user can observe the garbage image, which is convenient for the user to make subsequent judgments. For example, the garbage image in the dust collecting part 21 can be acquired by the acquisition module;

[0083] Based on the garbage image, the garbage information is determined. By determining the garbage information of different garbage, it is convenient to subsequently process the garbage differently according to different garbage, thereby meeting different garbage processing needs.

[0084] In some embodiments, the garbage information may include type, total amount, size, whether it is easy to clean, whether it is easy to breed bacteria, mold, etc., which facilitates the determination of the garbage situation of different garbage and makes garbage judgment more accurate.

[0085] In some embodiments, based on the garbage image, it is determined that the dust collecting part 21 is full of garbage, which facilitates the judgment of the current storage space value of the garbage in the dust collecting part 21, making the judgment more intuitive and efficient, and it can be chosen whether to clean the garbage in the dust collecting part 21 according to the judgment of different users to meet the usage needs of different users.

[0086] In some embodiments, the dust collecting piece 21 may be a transparent piece, so that the user can directly observe the garbage information in the dust collecting piece 21, which is convenient for the user to determine whether the dust collecting piece 21 is full of garbage, making it more convenient for the user to observe and judge; or, the upper part of the dust collecting piece 21 may be a transparent area, and the user can determine through the transparent area whether the current storage space value of the garbage in the dust collecting piece 21 reaches the maximum storage space value of the garbage in the dust collecting piece 21, which is convenient for the user to observe and judge, and can ensure that the dust collecting piece 21 has good aesthetics.

[0087] In some embodiments, the collection module in the dust collecting piece 21 may include a camera, which can collect garbage images in the dust collecting piece 21 to facilitate obtaining garbage images. At the same time, the user can watch the dust collection process of the dust collection system 100 through the camera to satisfy the user's curiosity. During the dust collection process, it avoids the situation where the user is unclear about whether the dust collection is completed and misoperates the dust collection system 100 to affect the dust collection, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the dust collection system 100.

[0088] In some embodiments, the camera can be arranged on the top wall or side wall of the dust collecting piece 21, so as to facilitate the camera to collect images of garbage in the dust collecting piece 21, avoid garbage blocking the camera and affecting image collection, and ensure more accurate image collection.

[0089] It should be noted that the method of obtaining spam information can also be assisted by other sensors, such as infrared sensors, ultrasonic sensors or gravity sensors, which can be used alone or in combination with image acquisition components (such as cameras), and are not specifically limited in the present invention.

[0090] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 7 As shown, the control method also includes:

[0091] Collect garbage information in the dust collecting part 21 and feed it back to the terminal. For example, the garbage information in the dust collecting part 21 may be the ratio of the current storage space value of the garbage in the dust collecting part 21 to the maximum storage space value of the garbage in the dust collecting part 21, or the garbage situation in the dust collecting part 21 may be the garbage image in the dust collecting part 21, or the ratio of the current storage space value of the garbage in the dust collecting part 21 to the maximum storage space value of the garbage in the dust collecting part 21 and the garbage image in the dust collecting part 21 may be collected at the same time to meet different acquisition requirements of users;

[0092] The garbage information collected in the dust collecting part 21 is displayed through the terminal, making it more convenient for users to view. For example, the terminal can be an application (APP, Application) in a mobile phone, so that users can obtain the garbage situation in the dust collecting part 21 at any location to meet different viewing needs.

[0093] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 8 As shown, the control method also includes:

[0098] The garbage in the dust collecting part 21 is sterilized. In other words, the garbage in the dust collecting part 21 is sterilized by the sterilization device of the dust collecting station 20 to meet the required sterilization requirements, effectively inhibit the growth of bacteria in the dust collecting part 21, avoid the growth of bacteria to the outside, and ensure the health of the user.

[0099] For example, in some embodiments, the control method further includes:

[0100] Determining that the type of garbage in the dust collecting member 21 belongs to the type of garbage with peculiar smell, in other words, part of the garbage or all of the garbage in the dust collecting member 21 has a corresponding relationship with the type of garbage with peculiar smell, that is, it belongs to the type of garbage with peculiar smell;

[0101] Deodorizing the garbage in the dust collecting part 21 can achieve deodorization of the garbage, prevent the odor from being transmitted to the outside, and ensure the user's experience.

[0102] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 8 As shown, identifying the garbage in the dust collecting part 21 includes:

[0103] Obtaining garbage image data in the dust collecting part 21 in real time, for example, obtaining garbage image data in the dust collecting part 21 through a camera;

[0104] The image data is processed for garbage identification to identify the shape information of the garbage and determine the type of garbage to which the current garbage in the dust collecting part 21 belongs. Therefore, since the image data can reflect the plane characteristics and color characteristics of different types of garbage, and can reflect the shape characteristics of different types of garbage, using the image data as garbage identification data can accurately reflect the garbage characteristics, thereby improving the accuracy of garbage identification, accurately determining the type of garbage, and facilitating different treatment methods for different types of garbage.

[0105] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Fig. 9 As shown, the control method also includes:

[0106] The cleaning robot 10 receives a cleaning task instruction and obtains cleaning map data corresponding to the cleaning task instruction. For example, during the cleaning process of the cleaning robot 10 according to the cleaning task, the cleaning robot 10 collects information about moving to different positions to obtain cleaning map data.

[0107] Divide the cleaning map data into rooms. For example, users can divide the rooms according to actual needs to meet the needs of different room divisions.

[0108] Control the sweeping robot 10 to collect dust after cleaning a portion of a single room;

[0109] Recording the garbage collected in the dust collecting part 21 after cleaning each room can obtain the garbage situation of each room, which is convenient for judging the garbage situation of each room and facilitating subsequent operations. For example, the garbage situation includes information such as the amount of garbage and the type of garbage;

[0110] According to the garbage situation in different rooms, the cleaning parameters of the sweeping robot 10 for cleaning the corresponding rooms are adjusted so that the sweeping robot 10 can meet the cleaning needs of different rooms and ensure good cleaning effects. The sweeping robot 10 cleans more intelligently, which is conducive to improving the user experience.

[0111] For example, in some embodiments, after the sweeping robot 10 performs a cleaning task, it can obtain cleaning map data corresponding to the cleaning task instructions. The user can divide multiple rooms into room A, room B, and room C through the cleaning map data. After the sweeping robot 10 cleans and collects dust in room A, room B, and room C respectively, it obtains and records the different amounts of garbage in room A, room B, and room C. Therefore, when the sweeping robot 10 performs a cleaning task next time, when cleaning room A, it can adjust the cleaning parameters of the sweeping robot 10 for cleaning room A according to the previously recorded garbage situation of the dust collecting part 21, so as to meet the cleaning needs of room A; when cleaning room B, it can adjust the cleaning parameters of the sweeping robot 10 for cleaning room B according to the previously recorded garbage situation of the dust collecting part 21, so as to meet the cleaning needs of room B; when cleaning room C, it can adjust the cleaning parameters of the sweeping robot 10 for cleaning room C according to the previously recorded garbage situation of the dust collecting part 21, so as to meet the cleaning needs of room B. The different cleaning needs of room A, room B, and room C can be met respectively, ensuring a good cleaning effect and improving the user experience.

[0112] In some embodiments, the cleaning parameters include at least one of the dust collection frequency, dust collection time, cleaning frequency, cleaning time and cleaning suction of the sweeping robot 10. In other words, the cleaning parameters may include the dust collection frequency, dust collection time, cleaning frequency, cleaning time or cleaning suction of the sweeping robot 10; or, the cleaning parameters may include two of the dust collection frequency, dust collection time, cleaning frequency, cleaning time and cleaning suction of the sweeping robot 10; or, the cleaning parameters may include three of the dust collection frequency, dust collection time, cleaning frequency, cleaning time and cleaning suction of the sweeping robot 10; or, the cleaning parameters may include the dust collection frequency, dust collection time, cleaning frequency Alternatively, the cleaning parameters may include the dust collection frequency, dust collection time, cleaning frequency, cleaning time and cleaning suction of the sweeping robot 10, and different cleaning parameters of the sweeping robot 10 can be selected and adjusted according to different situations in different rooms. For example, according to the amount of garbage collected into the dust collecting part 21 in each room or according to the type of garbage collected into the dust collecting part 21 in each room, or according to the amount of garbage in the dust collecting box 11 after cleaning each room or according to the type of garbage in the dust collecting box 11 after cleaning each room, the sweeping robot 10 can adjust different cleaning parameters according to different situations in different rooms to meet the required cleaning needs.

[0113] In some embodiments, the cleaning parameters may be automatically adjusted according to the dust collection system 100, or the cleaning parameters may be manually adjusted by the user to meet different adjustment requirements.

[0114] In some embodiments of the present invention, the sweeping robot 10 has a dust box 11, which is used to store garbage collected by the sweeping robot 10 when cleaning the floor, so as to facilitate the collection of garbage in the sweeping robot 10 and facilitate the dust collection station 20 to collect the garbage in the dust box 11 into the dust collection part 21, thereby avoiding the user from cleaning the dust box 11 multiple times, thereby improving the user experience.

[0115] In some embodiments, the collection module is also provided on the dust box 11. The collection module on the dust box 11 is used to collect garbage information in the dust box 11, thereby realizing visualization of the dust box 11, facilitating judgment on whether the garbage in the dust box 11 needs to be cleaned, and being able to clean the garbage in the dust box 11 in time to ensure the normal operation of the dust collection system 100, so that the cleaning effect is good, and the health of the user is ensured, thereby improving the user's experience. At the same time, the collection module of the dust box 11 is used to facilitate determination of the type of garbage in the dust box 11 to meet the required work requirements.

[0116] In some embodiments, Fig.12 As shown, the control method includes:

[0117] Acquire real-time garbage information in the dust box 11, for example, the garbage information in the dust box 11 may be acquired through a collection module of the dust box 11 or by directly observing the garbage information in the dust box 11;

[0118] Acquire the cleaning condition of the dust box 11, for example, the cleaning condition may be that the dust box 11 is full of garbage or the garbage in the dust box 11 is moldy;

[0119] When the garbage information meets the cleaning conditions, the dust box 11 is cleaned, and the dust box 11 can be cleaned in time to avoid the dust box 11 being full of garbage and not conducive to the cleaning of the sweeping robot 10 or to avoid the garbage in the dust box 11 from getting moldy, so that the sweeping robot 10 has a good cleaning effect and ensures the health of the user. In this way, the dust box 11 can be visualized, which is convenient for judging the garbage information in the dust box 11, and by obtaining the garbage information in the dust box 11 in real time, the garbage in the dust box 11 can be cleaned in time, which improves the user's experience.

[0120] It should be noted that "obtaining real-time garbage information in the dust box 11" here means continuously obtaining garbage information in the dust box 11. For example, garbage information in the dust box 11 may be obtained once every certain time interval (for example, 1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds). The time interval may be constant or variable, for example, changing within 1 second to 3 seconds according to the progress of dust collection (as time goes by, the garbage and dirt to be collected gradually decreases, and the collection interval gradually lengthens) or changing randomly.

[0121] In some embodiments of the present invention, Fig.13 As shown, the cleaning conditions include:

[0122] The ratio of the current storage space value of the garbage in the dust box 11 to the maximum storage space value of the garbage in the dust box 11 reaches a threshold value. Therefore, the current storage space value of the garbage in the dust box 11 can be controlled, and the position of the dust box 11 occupied by the garbage in the dust box 11 can be determined, so as to facilitate timely cleaning of the dust box 11 and ensure the need for timely cleaning of the dust box 11.

[0123] In some embodiments, the threshold value is less than or equal to 1, and the specific value can be set according to the actual situation. For example, the threshold value can be set before leaving the factory or by the user, which can meet the cleaning requirements of different amounts of garbage in the dust box 11. In some specific embodiments, the threshold value can be 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 1, etc.

[0124] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Fig.14 As shown, obtaining the garbage information in the dust box 11 includes:

[0125] Acquire the garbage image in the dust box 11 so that the user can observe the garbage image and facilitate the user to perform subsequent operations. For example, the garbage image in the dust box 11 can be acquired by a collection module in the dust box 11;

[0126] Based on the garbage image, the garbage information is determined. By determining the garbage information of different garbage, it is convenient to subsequently process the garbage differently according to different garbage, thereby meeting different garbage processing needs.

[0127] In some embodiments, the garbage information may include type, total amount, size, whether it is easy to clean, whether it is easy to breed bacteria, mold, etc., which facilitates the determination of the garbage situation of different garbage and makes garbage judgment more accurate.

[0128] In some embodiments, based on the garbage image, it is determined that the dust box 11 is full of garbage, which facilitates the judgment of the current storage space value of the garbage in the dust box 11, making the judgment more intuitive and efficient, and it can be chosen whether to clean the garbage in the dust box 11 according to the judgment of different users to meet the usage needs of different users.

[0129] In some embodiments, the collection module in the dust box 11 may include a camera, which can collect garbage images in the dust box 11 to facilitate obtaining garbage images. At the same time, the user can watch the dust collection process in the dust box 11 through the camera to satisfy the user's curiosity.

[0130] In some embodiments, the camera can be arranged on the top wall or side wall of the dust box 11, so as to facilitate the camera to collect images of garbage in the dust box 11, avoid garbage blocking the camera and affecting image collection, and ensure more accurate image collection.

[0131] In some embodiments of the present invention, Fig.14 As shown, the control method also includes:

[0132] Collect garbage information in the dust box 11 and feed it back to the terminal. For example, the garbage information in the dust box 11 may be a ratio of the current storage space value of the garbage in the dust box 11 to the maximum storage space value of the garbage in the dust box 11, or the garbage situation in the dust box 11 may be a garbage image in the dust box 11, or the ratio of the current storage space value of the garbage in the dust box 11 to the maximum storage space value of the garbage in the dust box 11 and the garbage image in the dust box 11 may be collected at the same time to meet different acquisition requirements of users;

[0133] The collected garbage information in the dust box 11 is displayed by the terminal, making it more convenient for users to view. For example, the terminal can be an application in a mobile phone, so that users can obtain the garbage situation in the dust box 11 at any location to meet different viewing needs.

[0134] According to some embodiments of the present invention, cleaning the dust box 11 includes:

[0135] The sweeping robot 10 is controlled to cooperate with the dust collecting station 20, and the dust collecting station 20 is controlled to collect the garbage in the dust collecting box 11 into the dust collecting station 20, so as to realize the automatic cleaning of the dust collecting box 11, making the use of the dust collecting system 100 more intelligent, which is conducive to improving the user experience;

[0136] Alternatively, manually cleaning the dust box 11 can meet the different habits and needs of different users, which is beneficial to improving the user experience.

[0137] In some embodiments, a reminder component is provided on the sweeping robot 10. When the ratio of the current storage space value of the garbage in the dust box 11 to the maximum storage space value of the garbage in the dust box 11 reaches a threshold, the reminder component can remind the user so that the user can clean the dust box 11 in time after receiving the reminder information, thereby ensuring the dust collection effect of the dust collection system 100 and improving the user's experience.

[0138] In some embodiments, the reminder component may include various modules to ensure that the user can promptly find a reminder that the ratio of the current storage space value of the garbage in the dust box 11 to the maximum storage space value of the garbage in the dust box 11 reaches a threshold.

[0139] For example, in some embodiments, the reminder component may include a display alarm module. For example, the display alarm module may be a constant light, a flashing light, a digital display, a text display, an icon display, and the like.

[0140] When the alarm module is displayed in digital form, the digital display can be a percentage showing the ratio of the current storage space value of the garbage in the dust box 11 to the maximum storage space value of the garbage in the dust box 11, so that the user can accurately know the current storage space value of the garbage, and can clean the dust box 11 in time before or when the dust box 11 is full of garbage, to ensure the normal operation of the sweeping robot 10.

[0141] For another example, in some embodiments, the reminder component may include a sound alarm module. For example, the sound alarm module may issue a voice reminder, a ring tone reminder, and the like.

[0142] Alternatively, in some embodiments, the reminder component may include a display alarm module and a sound alarm module, and can provide reminders in multiple ways to avoid neglect that causes garbage to fill up the dust box 11 and affect the cleaning effect of the sweeping robot 10.

[0143] In some embodiments, Fig.10 As shown, the control method also includes:

[0144] During the cleaning process of the sweeping robot 10, the garbage in the dust box 11 is identified. For example, during the cleaning process of the sweeping robot 10, the garbage in the dust collecting part 21 is identified by the collection module provided in the dust box 11. For another example, during the cleaning process of the sweeping robot 10, the garbage to be collected is identified by the collection module (such as a camera) provided in the body of the sweeping robot 10 (for example, the front bumper, top, bottom, etc.), so that the identification of the collected garbage is more efficient, real-time, convenient and quick.

[0145] According to the preset correspondence between garbage and garbage types, the garbage type corresponding to the garbage in the dust box 11 is determined. Thus, the garbage type in the dust box 11 can be determined, and according to the different garbage types in the dust box 11, the garbage in the dust box 11 can be subsequently processed accordingly to meet different processing requirements.

[0146] For example, in some embodiments, Figure 8 As shown, the control method also includes:

[0147] Determining that the type of garbage in the dust box 11 is a type of garbage that breeds bacteria, in other words, part of the garbage or all of the garbage in the dust box 11 has a corresponding relationship with the type of garbage that breeds bacteria, that is, it is a type of garbage that breeds bacteria;

[0148] The garbage in the dust box 11 is collected and processed so that the garbage in the dust box 11 can enter the dust collecting part 21, thereby preventing bacteria from growing in the dust collecting part 21 and ensuring the health of the user. For example, the garbage entering the dust collecting part 21 can be sterilized by a sterilization device in the dust collecting part 21 to effectively prevent the growth of bacteria; or, the garbage in the dust box 11 is sterilized. In other words, the garbage in the dust box 11 is sterilized by a sterilization device of the sweeping robot 10 to meet the required sterilization requirements, effectively inhibit the growth of bacteria in the dust box 11, and prevent bacteria from growing to the outside, thereby ensuring the health of the user.

[0149] For example, in some embodiments, the control method further includes:

[0150] Determining that the type of garbage in the dust box 11 belongs to the type of garbage with odor, in other words, part of the garbage or all of the garbage in the dust box 11 has a corresponding relationship with the type of garbage with odor, that is, it belongs to the type of garbage with odor;

[0151] The garbage in the dust box 11 is subjected to dust collection treatment so that the garbage in the dust box 11 can enter the dust collecting part 21, thereby preventing the odor from being transmitted to the outside and ensuring the user experience. For example, the garbage entering the dust collecting part 21 can be deodorized in the dust collecting part 21; or, the garbage in the dust box 11 is subjected to deodorization treatment, thereby achieving deodorization of the garbage and preventing the odor from being transmitted to the outside and ensuring the user experience.

[0152] The inventors of the present application discovered that in the related art, there are various types of garbage in the cleaning environment of the sweeping robot, for example, dry garbage, including paper scraps, plastic, slag, paper, etc.; wet garbage, including leftovers, fruit peels, fruit cores, milk, liquids, etc.; if various types of garbage are collected in a dust box for dust collection, and then the different garbage in the dust collection box is thrown into a garbage recycling device (such as a trash can, etc.), manual classification is required, which consumes manpower and time, and affects the user experience.

[0153] Therefore, in some embodiments of the present invention, the dust collecting part 21 includes multiple (greater than or equal to two) accommodating cavities, which are respectively used to accommodate different types of garbage. The garbage in the dust box 11 can be collected into the corresponding accommodating cavities, which facilitates the classification of the garbage.

[0154] like Fig.10 As shown, the control method includes:

[0155] According to the preset correspondence between the garbage type and the containing cavity, the containing cavity corresponding to the garbage in the dust box 11 is determined. For example, the garbage in the dust collecting part 21 is identified by a collection module provided in the dust box 11 to determine the containing cavity corresponding to the garbage type in the dust collecting part 21;

[0156] Controlling the dust collection station 20 to collect the garbage in the dust box 11 into the corresponding holding cavity avoids the need to manually sort the garbage after collecting different types of garbage together. For example, it is convenient to sort dry garbage or wet garbage, etc., reduces the manpower and time consumed by manual sorting, and improves the user experience.

[0157] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the control method includes:

[0158] Determine that there are different types of garbage in the dust box 11, for example, by identifying the garbage in the dust collecting member 21 through a collection module disposed in the dust box 11, and confirm that there are different types of garbage in the dust box 11;

[0159] Control the dust collection station 20 to collect the garbage in the dust box 11 into the corresponding receiving cavity, so as to collect the garbage in the current dust box 11, and avoid further collecting garbage of a different type from the garbage in the dust box 11 into the dust box 11 to affect the classification of the garbage;

[0160] After the dust collection is completed, the sweeping robot 10 is controlled to continue cleaning, so that the sweeping robot 10 can perform subsequent cleaning, which is convenient for the sweeping robot 10 to classify different types of garbage, thereby ensuring more accurate garbage classification.

[0161] In some embodiments of the present invention, Fig.10 As shown, the control method includes:

[0162] According to the real-time garbage information, the dust collection parameters of the dust collection station 20 are dynamically adjusted, and the dust collection parameters of the dust collection station 20 are adjusted more quickly, so that the dust collection requirements of different types of garbage can be met, ensuring a good dust collection effect. Moreover, according to different types of garbage, while meeting the dust collection requirements, the noise can be reduced, and dust collection can be achieved in a silent manner, which is beneficial to improving the user experience.

[0163] In some embodiments, the control method further comprises:

[0164] According to the garbage information, the dust collection parameters of the sweeping robot 10 are adjusted so that the sweeping robot 10 can meet the cleaning requirements of different types of garbage and ensure a good cleaning effect. Moreover, according to different types of garbage, while meeting the cleaning requirements, it can reduce noise and achieve silent cleaning, which is beneficial to improving the user experience.

[0165] In some embodiments, the control method further comprises:

[0166] According to the garbage information, the dust collection parameters of the dust collection station 20 and the sweeping robot 10 are adjusted. According to different garbage types, the dust collection station 20 and the sweeping robot 10 can reduce noise while meeting the required dust collection and cleaning needs, which is beneficial to improving the user experience.

[0167] In some embodiments of the present invention, the dust collection parameters include at least one of dust collection flow rate, dust collection suction force and dust collection time. In other words, the dust collection parameters may include dust collection flow rate, dust collection suction force or dust collection time; or, the dust collection parameters may include two of dust collection flow rate, dust collection suction force and dust collection time; or, the dust collection parameters may include dust collection flow rate, dust collection suction force and dust collection time. Different dust collection parameters can be selected and adjusted according to different types of garbage, so that the dust collection station 20 can adjust different dust collection parameters according to different types of garbage to meet the required dust collection requirements. For example, when the type of garbage requires a lower dust collection flow rate or dust collection suction force, the dust collection flow rate or dust collection suction force can be reduced to facilitate silent dust collection or cleaning.

[0168] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the control method further comprises:

[0169] Collect garbage information and feed it back to the terminal. For example, the garbage information in the dust box 11 may include the type, total amount, size, and whether it is easy to clean up the garbage in the dust box 11;

[0170] Adjusting the dust collection parameters of the dust collection station 20 according to the garbage information collected by the terminal display can ensure that the garbage in the dust box 11 is cleanly collected, meet the different habits and needs of different users, and help improve the user experience. The terminal is also convenient for users to view and make adjustments more convenient.

[0171] In some embodiments, the dust collection parameters can be automatically adjusted according to the dust collection system 100 to meet the dust collection requirements of different garbage and ensure a good dust collection effect.

[0172] In some embodiments, Fig.15 As shown, the control method also includes:

[0173] The cleaning robot 10 receives a cleaning task instruction and obtains cleaning map data corresponding to the cleaning task instruction. For example, during the cleaning process of the cleaning robot 10 according to the cleaning task, the cleaning robot 10 collects information about moving to different positions to obtain cleaning map data.

[0174] Divide the cleaning map data into rooms. For example, the cleaning robot 10 can divide different rooms by identifying the types of garbage in the dust box 11. The cleaning robot 10 can intelligently identify bedrooms, kitchens, etc. according to different garbage to meet the division requirements of different rooms. Alternatively, the user can divide the room according to actual needs to meet the division requirements of different rooms.

[0175] Recording the amount of garbage in the dust box 11 after the sweeping robot 10 cleans each room can obtain the garbage situation in each room, which is convenient for judging the garbage situation in each room and facilitating subsequent operations. For example, the garbage situation includes information such as the amount of garbage and the type of garbage;

[0176] According to the garbage situation in different rooms, the cleaning parameters of the sweeping robot 10 for cleaning the corresponding rooms are adjusted so that the sweeping robot 10 can meet the cleaning needs of different rooms and ensure good cleaning effects. The sweeping robot 10 cleans more intelligently, which is conducive to improving the user experience.

[0177] For example, in some embodiments, after the sweeping robot 10 performs a cleaning task, it can obtain cleaning map data corresponding to the cleaning task instructions. The user can divide multiple rooms into room A, room B, and room C through the cleaning map data, and the sweeping robot 10 cleans room A, room B, and room C respectively, and obtains and records the amount of garbage in the dust box 11 in room A, room B, and room C respectively. Therefore, when the sweeping robot 10 performs a cleaning task next time, when cleaning room A, it can adjust the cleaning parameters of the sweeping robot 10 for cleaning room A according to the garbage situation in the dust box 11 recorded before, so as to meet the cleaning needs of room A; when cleaning room B, it can adjust the cleaning parameters of the sweeping robot 10 for cleaning room B according to the garbage situation in the dust box 11 recorded before, so as to meet the cleaning needs of room B; when cleaning room C, it can adjust the cleaning parameters of the sweeping robot 10 for cleaning room C according to the garbage situation in the dust box 11 recorded before, so as to meet the cleaning needs of room B. The different cleaning needs of room A, room B, and room C can be met respectively, ensuring a good cleaning effect and improving the user experience.

[0179] Obtaining shape data and image data of garbage in the dust box 11 in real time, for example, obtaining image data in the dust box 11 through a camera;

[0180] The image data is processed for garbage recognition to identify the shape information of the garbage and determine the type of garbage to which the current garbage in the dust box 11 belongs. Therefore, since the image data can reflect the plane characteristics and color characteristics of different types of garbage, and can reflect the shape characteristics of different types of garbage, using the image data as garbage recognition data can accurately reflect the garbage characteristics, thereby improving the accuracy of garbage recognition, accurately determining the type of garbage, and facilitating different treatment methods for different types of garbage.
