Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of cleaning equipment control, and in particular, relates to a cleaning equipment control method, device, program product, medium and cleaning equipment. Background Art

[0002] Cleaning equipment (such as sweepers and mops) has been widely used in family life today. It can replace users to complete housework, which brings great convenience to users. After the cleaning device completes the cleaning task, or when the dirt bin of the cleaning device contains a lot of dirt, the cleaning device will return to the base station, and the base station will suck the dirt into the dirt collection bin for collecting the dirt. However, as the cleaning device performs the cleaning task on the ground, a small amount of dirt may accumulate on the roller brush or get stuck in the roller brush bin. For example, hair, paper scraps and other slender dirt will be entangled in the roller brush or stuck in the roller brush bin. For example, rice grains, paper balls, tape, blocky plastic film (such as chewing gum) and other dirt will be retained in the roller brush or stuck in the roller brush bin. In this case, when the cleaning equipment returns to the base station to collect dirt, there is a high probability that the above-mentioned dirt will still remain on the roller brush or in the roller brush bin. It is generally difficult to suck the dirt on the roller brush into the dirt collection bin in the base station only through the dirt collection fan, resulting in incomplete cleaning of the dirt in the cleaning equipment, poor dirt collection effect, and affecting the user experience. Based on this, how to enhance the dirt collection effect of the cleaning equipment is a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently. Summary of the invention

Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

That is, these functional entities can be implemented in software form, or in one or more hardware modules or integrated circuits, or in different networks and / or processor devices and / or microcontroller devices.

[0044] The flowcharts shown in the accompanying drawings are only exemplary and do not necessarily include all the contents and operations / steps, nor must they be executed in the order described. For example, some operations / steps can be decomposed, and some operations / steps can be combined or partially combined, so the actual execution order may change according to actual conditions.

[0045] In the description of this application, it should be understood that the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the feature. In the description of this application, unless otherwise specified, "plurality" means two or more.

[0046] In order to make those skilled in the art better understand the present application, firstly, Figure 1 and Figure 2 The structure of the cleaning device in one embodiment of the present application in a dirt collecting state in a base station is briefly described.

[0047] See also Figure 1 , shows a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the cleaning device in an embodiment of the present application in a dirt collecting state in a base station.

[0048] See also Figure 2 , shows a schematic cross-sectional structure diagram of the cleaning device in an embodiment of the present application in a dirt collecting state in a base station.

[0049] First of all, the cleaning device proposed in this application can be a sweeper, a mop, or a sweeper and mop all-in-one machine, and this application does not make any specific limitations on this. After the cleaning device completes the cleaning task on the ground, some dirt such as hair, paper scraps, and dust cleaned from the ground will be contained in its dirt bin. Since the dirt bin inside the cleaning device that holds the dirt is relatively small, it is necessary to discharge the dirt from the cleaning device in a timely manner. In the prior art, a larger dirt collection bin is usually provided inside the base station to collect the dirt cleaned by the cleaning device on the ground.

[0050] Specifically, if Figure 1 As shown, after the cleaning device 110 completes the cleaning task, or when there is a lot of dirt in the cleaning device 110, the cleaning device 110 will return to the base station 120 to transfer its dirt to the space in the base station 120 for collecting dirt. Figure 2As shown, when the cleaning device 110 performs the cleaning task on the ground, the dirt on the ground will be rolled into the dirt bin 112 (for those skilled in the art, the dirt bin 112 may also be referred to as a dust box) by its roller brush 111. When the cleaning device 110 is in the dirt (dust) collecting state in the base station 120, the sewage outlet 114 of the cleaning device 110 is aligned with the sewage suction outlet 121 of the base station. Under the action of the rotation of the fan 113 of the cleaning device 110, an air pressure difference will be formed at the joint of the sewage outlet 114 and the sewage suction outlet 121. Under the action of the air pressure difference, the dirt in the dirt bin 112 will be sucked into the base station 120, and then collected into the dirt collection bin 123 through the sewage suction channel 122 in the base station 120, thereby completing the emptying of the dirt in the cleaning device 110.

[0051] However, as the cleaning device performs cleaning tasks on the ground, a small amount of dirt may accumulate on the roller brush. For example, hair, paper scraps and other slender dirt will be entangled on the roller brush, and sticky dirt such as rice grains, tape, chewing gum and so on will be retained on the roller brush. In this case, it is generally difficult to suck the dirt on the roller brush into the dirt collection bin of the base station, resulting in incomplete cleaning of the dirt in the cleaning device, poor dirt collection effect, and affecting the user experience. Based on this, the present application proposes a cleaning device control method to enhance the dirt collection effect of the cleaning device.

[0052] Reference Figure 3 , which shows a flow chart of a cleaning device control method in an embodiment of the present application. The method can be specifically performed by a device having a computing and processing function (e.g. Figure 1 cleaning equipment shown) to perform, refer to Figure 3 As shown, the cleaning equipment control method includes at least step 310, which is described in detail as follows:

[0053] In step 310, if the base station performs a dirt collecting action on the cleaning device, the roller brush of the cleaning device is controlled to rotate.

[0054] In the present application, by controlling the rotation of the roller brush of the cleaning device during the dirt collection operation of the base station, the hair, paper scraps and other slender dirt wrapped around the roller brush and the sticky dirt such as rice grains, tape, chewing gum and so on trapped on the roller brush can be loosened and removed during the rotation of the roller brush, thereby helping to release more dirt into the dirt bin of the cleaning device and increasing the probability of dirt being sucked into the dirt collection bin of the base station. In addition, the rotation of the roller brush can prevent the long-term accumulation of dirt on the roller brush, reduce the frequency of manual cleaning, and improve the degree of automation of the cleaning device. In this way, not only the dirt collection effect of the cleaning device is effectively enhanced, but also its service life is extended, which significantly improves the user experience and satisfaction.

[0055] Next, the present application will specifically explain the details of the steps of controlling the rotation of the roller brush of the cleaning device in the above step 310 in combination with some embodiments.

[0056] In the present application, controlling the rotation of the roller brush of the cleaning device includes any one of the following steps 311, 312, and 313:

[0057] Step 311, starting the roller brush of the cleaning device within a first preset time period before the base station starts to perform a dirt collection action on the cleaning device, and after starting the roller brush of the cleaning device, controlling the rotation of the roller brush of the cleaning device according to a set strategy.

[0058] In the present application, for example, the roller brush of the cleaning device may be started within 5 seconds (or 6 seconds or 7 seconds, which is not specifically limited in the present application) before the base station starts to collect dirt on the cleaning device. In this way, the roller brush may be pre-processed in advance before the dirt collection action formally starts, so that dirt such as hair and paper scraps entangled or trapped on the roller brush can be loosened, thereby improving the release efficiency of dirt during the dirt collection process, increasing the probability of dirt on the roller brush being sucked into the base station dirt collection bin, and thus enhancing the dirt collection effect on the cleaning device.

[0059] Step 312, when the base station starts to perform a dirt collection action on the cleaning device, the roller brush of the cleaning device is started, and after starting the roller brush of the cleaning device, the roller brush of the cleaning device is controlled to rotate according to a set strategy.

[0060] In the present application, the roller brush of the cleaning device is started when the base station starts to collect dirt on the cleaning device, and after starting the roller brush of the cleaning device, the roller brush of the cleaning device is controlled to rotate according to the set strategy. In this way, it can be ensured that the rotation of the roller brush is synchronized with the dirt collection action of the base station, that is, when the base station starts to collect dirt, the immediate start of the roller brush can effectively loosen and release the dirt entangled or trapped on it quickly, so that the dirt on the roller brush can be more easily sucked into the dirt collection bin of the base station. This strategy can also improve the collection efficiency of dirt and enhance the dirt collection effect on the cleaning equipment.

[0061] Step 313, starting the roller brush of the cleaning device within a second preset time period after the base station starts the dirt collecting action on the cleaning device, and after starting the roller brush of the cleaning device, controlling the rotation of the roller brush of the cleaning device according to a set strategy.

[0062] In the present application, for example, it can be within 5 seconds (it can also be 6 seconds, 7 seconds, this application does not make specific limitations on this) after the base station starts to perform the dirt collection action on the cleaning device. This delayed start strategy can shorten the rotation time of the roller brush, reduce the noise pollution caused by the rotation of the roller brush to a certain extent, and improve the user experience. At the same time, starting the roller brush of the cleaning device after the base station starts to perform the dirt collection action can give the base station a certain buffer time to ensure that the roller brush is started only after the base station has entered a stable working state, which can avoid the risk of failure caused by excessive amount of dirt in the dirt bin at the beginning of the base station's dirt collection action.

[0063] In the present application, no matter which timing is used to start the roller brush of the cleaning device, after starting the roller brush of the cleaning device, controlling the rotation of the roller brush of the cleaning device according to the set strategy can improve the thoroughness of cleaning the dirt on the roller brush, effectively solve the problem of residual dirt on the roller brush, enhance the dirt collection effect of the cleaning device, improve the dirt collection efficiency, and improve the user experience.

[0064] In the present application, the step of controlling the rotation of the roller brush of the cleaning device according to the set strategy may be performed according to the following step 320:

[0065] Step 320, controlling the roller brush of the cleaning device to rotate within a set time interval, wherein the end time of the set time interval is earlier than or equal to the end time of the base station performing the dirt collection action on the cleaning device.

[0066] In the present application, the roller brush is controlled to run within a set time interval, and the roller brush operation power can be flexibly adjusted according to the actual situation of the dirt left on the roller brush (i.e., the adjustment can indirectly adjust the speed and strength of the roller brush), so that different types and different amounts of dirt can be effectively cleaned to improve the cleaning efficiency. For example, for more stubborn dirt, a higher setting power can be used to enhance the cleaning effect, while for ordinary dust, a lower setting power can be used to save energy and reduce roller brush wear.

[0067] Furthermore, in the present application, ensuring that the end time of the set time interval is earlier than or equal to the end time of the base station's dirt collection action can prevent the roller brush from continuing to operate without dirt collection support, thereby preventing unnecessary energy consumption and wear of the roller brush. At the same time, the synchronous end or early end of the rotation of the roller brush of the cleaning equipment also helps the cleaning equipment to quickly enter standby or other working modes when the dirt collection action is completed, thereby improving overall work efficiency. In addition, the early end of the rotation of the roller brush of the cleaning equipment can also shorten the rotation time of the roller brush, reduce the noise pollution caused by the rotation of the roller brush to a certain extent, and improve the user experience.

[0068] In one embodiment of the present application, the following steps 321 to 322 may also be performed:

[0069] Step 321, determining the residual level of dirt on the roller brush, wherein the residual level is used to represent the amount of dirt remaining on the roller brush.

[0070] Step 322, determining the interval length of the set time interval and / or the set power of the roller brush rotating within the set time interval according to the residue level, the interval length is positively correlated with the residue level, and the set power is positively correlated with the residue level.

[0071] In this embodiment, the length of the set time interval can be adjusted according to the residue level, and the higher the residue level, the longer the length of the set time interval. Similarly, the set power of the roller brush rotating within the set time interval can also be adjusted according to the residue level, and the higher the residue level, the greater the set power.

[0072] For example, if the residual level on the roller brush is low (for example, light dust or a small amount of dirt), the set time interval may be shorter, such as 10 seconds, and the set power may be lower to save energy while effectively cleaning the roller brush; if the residual level on the roller brush is medium (for example, obvious dust or a medium amount of dirt), the set time interval can be appropriately extended, such as 20 seconds, and the set power can be increased to ensure that the roller brush is thoroughly cleaned; if the residual level on the roller brush is high (for example, a large amount of dirt or stubborn dirt), the set time interval may be longer, such as 30 seconds or longer, and the set power will be increased accordingly to provide sufficient cleaning force.

[0073] Through this dynamic adjustment mechanism, the cleaning equipment can flexibly and accurately adjust the rotation parameters of the roller brush (i.e., the interval length of the set time interval and the set power of the roller brush rotation) according to the actual dirt situation, ensuring that the roller brush always remains in the best working state, and can more efficiently clean the dirt on the roller brush, thereby improving the dirt collection effect of the cleaning equipment.

[0074] Further, in this embodiment, the determination of the residual level of dirt on the roller brush may be performed according to the following steps 3211 to 3212:

[0075] Step 3211, obtaining the degree of dirtiness of the ground surface when the cleaning device last performed a cleaning task, and / or the cleaning time when the cleaning device last performed a cleaning task.

[0076] Step 3212, inferring the residual level of dirt on the roller brush according to the dirtiness of the ground and / or the cleaning time, wherein the residual level is positively correlated with the dirtiness of the ground, and the residual level is positively correlated with the cleaning time.

[0077] In this embodiment, specifically, the degree of dirt on the floor can be detected by a sensor installed on the cleaning device during the last cleaning task. The sensor can detect the type and density of dirt on the floor, and then the degree of dirt on the floor can be determined according to the type and density of dirt on the floor. It can be understood that the more complex the dirt type and the greater the density of the dirt, the higher the residual level of dirt on the roller brush.

[0078] The cleaning time of the cleaning device in the last cleaning task can be recorded by a timer. For example, the timer records the time the cleaning device is running. According to the cleaning time, the amount of dirt remaining on the roller brush can be inferred, thereby determining the residual level. It is understandable that the longer the cleaning time of the cleaning device in performing the cleaning task, the higher the residual level of dirt on the roller brush.

[0079] Therefore, by determining the residual level of dirt on the roller brush, the cleaning strategy can be dynamically adjusted according to the actual cleaning situation, that is, adjusting the interval length of the set time interval and / or the set power of the roller brush rotating within the set time interval, so as to more accurately control the cleaning process of the residual dirt on the roller brush in the cleaning device, so that the residual dirt on the roller brush can be removed more effectively, and the dirt collection effect of the cleaning device can be enhanced. Ensure the efficient operation of the cleaning device in different cleaning tasks, thereby improving the user experience.

[0080] In this embodiment, a sensor may also be provided in the cleaning device near the roller brush, so that the type and amount of dirt remaining on the roller brush can be directly detected by the sensor, thereby determining the residual level of dirt on the roller brush.

[0081] It should be noted that, in some practical applications, the set time interval and the set power in the above step 320 may also be a fixed value set when the cleaning device leaves the factory.

[0082] In one embodiment of the present application, the interval length of the set time interval may be greater than the set duration.

[0083] In this embodiment, specifically, the set time interval refers to the time period during which the roller brush of the cleaning device rotates. In order to ensure that the dirt on the roller brush can be effectively cleaned, the interval length of the set time interval is set to be greater than the set time length. Furthermore, the set time length can be the minimum effective cleaning time length for cleaning the dirt in the roller brush. In this way, the roller brush can have enough time to rotate within the set time interval, thereby effectively improving the efficiency of the roller brush of the cleaning device in the dirt collection process, ensuring that the dirt on the roller brush can be thoroughly cleaned, enhancing the dirt collection effect of the cleaning device, and improving the user experience.

[0084] As some preferred implementations, the interval length of the set time interval can be set to 5 seconds, 6 seconds, 7 seconds or longer to meet different dirt cleaning needs, and this application does not make specific limitations on this.

[0085] In one embodiment of the present application, the set power at which the roller brush of the cleaning device rotates within the set time interval may be the same.

[0086] In this embodiment, specifically, the set power of the roller brush rotation can be kept consistent at each time point within the set time interval, that is, the roller brush rotates at a constant power during the dirt collection process. As a preferred embodiment, the set power of the roller brush can be adjusted according to the model and use environment of the cleaning device. When facing different types of dirt, the set power of the roller brush can be adjusted to meet different cleaning needs. For example, when cleaning a floor with a high density of hair dirt or a floor with a high density of sticky dirt, the roller brush can be controlled to rotate at a higher set power during the dirt collection process of the cleaning device. Conversely, the roller brush can be controlled to rotate at a lower set power.

[0087] Therefore, by setting the set power of the roller brush to be the same within the set time interval, it can be ensured that during the process of collecting dirt from the cleaning equipment, the roller brush can clean the dirt at a uniform speed, while also ensuring the efficiency and effect of dirt collection, thereby improving the user experience.

[0088] In one embodiment of the present application, the set time interval may include multiple time sub-intervals, wherein the set power corresponding to any time sub-interval is smaller than the set power corresponding to the time sub-interval before the any time sub-interval.

[0089] In this embodiment, specifically, the set time interval can be divided into a plurality of continuous time subintervals, and each time subinterval corresponds to a specific set power. In each time subinterval, the roller brush of the cleaning device rotates according to the set power corresponding to the time subinterval. Furthermore, the set power corresponding to any time subinterval is less than the set power corresponding to the time subinterval before the time subinterval. For example, the set power corresponding to the first time subinterval can be set to a higher value, and the set power corresponding to each subsequent time subinterval gradually decreases.

[0090] Therefore, by gradually reducing the set power of the roller brush rotation in each time sub-interval, the residual dirt on the roller brush can be effectively reduced, and the noise generated by the rotation of the roller brush can be gradually reduced, thereby improving the user experience.

[0091] In one embodiment of the present application, the set power corresponding to any time in the set time interval may be smaller than the set power corresponding to the time before the any time.

[0092] In this embodiment, specifically, at each time point within the set time interval, the set power for controlling the rotation of the roller brush can be reduced linearly or nonlinearly over time. In this way, the noise generated by the rotation of the roller brush can be gradually reduced while effectively reducing the residue of dirt on the roller brush, thereby improving the user experience.

[0093] In one embodiment of the present application, the set power may include a first set power and a second set power, the first set power is greater than the second set power, and the controlling the roller brush of the cleaning device to rotate within a set time interval may be performed according to the following step 323:

[0094] Step 323: Control the roller brush of the cleaning device to rotate alternately according to the first set power and the second set power within a set time interval.

[0095] In this embodiment, specifically, within a set time interval, the roller brush of the cleaning device can first rotate at a first set power, then switch to a second set power, and then switch back to the first set power, so that the roller brush can be rotated by alternating different set powers. The advantages are that, first, the inertia of the dirt left on the roller brush can be used to efficiently loosen the dirt with strong retention on the roller brush (such as rice grains, chewing gum, etc.), and the dirt can be thrown into the dirt bin of the cleaning device, thereby effectively solving the problem of incomplete cleaning of the dirt on the roller brush and improving the dirt collection effect of the cleaning device. Second, since the roller brush rotates alternately according to different set powers, the load on the roller brush in different time periods is more balanced, avoiding excessive wear of the roller brush caused by long-term operation of a single high power, thereby extending its service life. Third, when the roller brush rotates at low power, the noise it generates will also be reduced, thereby improving the user experience.

[0096] In the present application, the step of controlling the rotation of the roller brush of the cleaning device according to the set strategy may also be performed according to the following step 330:

[0097] Step 330 , controlling the roller brush of the cleaning device to rotate alternately in a first rotation direction and a second rotation direction within a set time interval, wherein the first rotation direction and the second rotation direction are opposite to each other.

[0098] In the present application, the roller brush of the cleaning device is controlled to rotate alternately in a first rotation direction and a second rotation direction that are opposite to each other within a set time interval. Specifically, the roller brush rotates alternately in two opposite directions within a set time interval, that is, if the first rotation direction is clockwise, the second rotation direction is counterclockwise, or vice versa. For example, if the interval length of the set time interval is 30 seconds, then within these 30 seconds, the rotation direction of the roller brush can be switched every 5 seconds. By alternating the rotation direction of the roller brush, the roller brush can reduce the entanglement of slender dirt (such as hair, thread, etc.) on the roller brush, thereby more effectively loosening and removing the dirt remaining on the roller brush, so that the dirt can be thrown more smoothly into the dirt bin of the cleaning device, thereby improving the release efficiency of the dirt during the dirt collection process, and increasing the probability of the dirt on the roller brush being sucked into the dirt collection bin of the base station, thereby enhancing the dirt collection effect on the cleaning device.

[0099] Therefore, by controlling the rotation of the roller brush to alternate between the first rotation direction and the second rotation direction within a set time interval, the entanglement and accumulation of dirt on the roller brush can be prevented, and the cleaning equipment can be kept at a high self-cleaning ability after cleaning different types of ground environments, thereby extending the service life of the equipment and providing better cleaning services.

[0100] In the present application, the roller brush may have a dirt removing function and / or a dirt cutting function.

[0101] In the present application, the roller brush has a dirt removal function, which can make the dirt be thrown out, the dirt be moved axially, and the dirt be prevented from being entangled. In this way, when the roller brush rotates at high speed, the centrifugal force is used to throw away the dirt attached to the roller brush. Through the removal function, the dirt can be more easily sucked into the dust collection bin of the device or swept into the garbage collection container, thereby improving the self-cleaning efficiency of the roller brush and reducing the accumulation of dirt on the roller brush, thereby reducing the maintenance frequency of the cleaning equipment and improving the user experience.

[0102] In the present application, the roller brush can be equipped with a specially designed cutting device or sharp bristles, so that the roller brush has a dirt cutting function, which can cut off the thin and long dirt, such as hair, rope, etc., that is entangled on the roller brush during the rotation of the roller brush. The dirt cutting function effectively prevents these thin and long dirt from being entangled on the roller brush, causing the roller brush to accumulate dirt or reduce the cleaning efficiency. That is, through cutting, the cleaning equipment can maintain a high cleaning performance and reduce the downtime caused by entanglement and the need for manual cleaning.

[0103] In general, the combination of dirt removal and dirt cutting functions allows the cleaning device to maintain efficient operation in different environments. Whether it is dust on hard floors or hair on carpets, the roller brush can effectively clean up the remaining dirt during the dirt collection process of the cleaning device, providing users with a more convenient and efficient cleaning experience.

[0104] Based on the technical solution proposed in this application, by controlling the rotation of the roller brush of the cleaning device during the base station's dirt collection operation on the cleaning device, the hair, paper scraps and other slender dirt wrapped around the roller brush, as well as rice grains, tape, chewing gum and other sticky dirt trapped on the roller brush can be loosened and removed during the rotation of the roller brush, thereby helping to release more dirt into the dirt bin of the cleaning device and increasing the probability of dirt being sucked into the dirt collection bin of the base station. In addition, the rotation of the roller brush can prevent long-term accumulation of dirt on the roller brush, reduce the frequency of manual cleaning, and improve the degree of automation of the cleaning device. In this way, not only is the dirt collection effect of the cleaning device effectively enhanced, but its service life is also extended, significantly improving the user experience and satisfaction.
