[0055] The technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiment of the present invention.

[0056] Figure 1 The present invention provides a control method for a household towing platform. The household towing platform can be used to carry household items, such as household cameras, humidifiers, air purifiers and other household appliances, as well as tableware, paper towels, umbrellas and towels.

[0057] like Figure 2 As shown, the household equipment 300 (such as humidifiers, air purifiers and other equipment) is placed on the household equipment platform 100. The household equipment platform 100 is integrated with the cleaning robot 200, and can help the household equipment platform 100 and the household equipment 300 to achieve functions such as mobile positioning through the functions already possessed by the cleaning robot 200, such as movement, mapping, obstacle avoidance and path planning. For example, the household equipment platform 100 and the household equipment 300 can perform tasks such as whole-house humidification, fixed-point humidification, zoned humidification, and scheduled humidification. The household equipment platform 100 can also carry household items (such as tableware, paper towels, umbrellas and towels, etc.) through the cleaning robot 200.

[0058] For example, the home towing platform may include a main control chip and peripheral modules (such as a Bluetooth module, a WI-FI module, etc.). The main control chip may supply power to the peripheral modules except the Bluetooth module, and the power supply of the Bluetooth module may be controlled by the main battery switch of the home towing platform. The main control chip may be used to determine the working state of the home towing platform and send corresponding control signals through the control pins of the main control chip according to the working state.

[0059] The following describes in detail the control method of the household towing platform according to the embodiment of the present application. The method is applied to Figure 2 The home towing platform shown is worth noting that Figure 2 The household hauling platform shown is merely an example and does not limit the household hauling platform in the embodiments of the present application.

[0060] like Figure 1 As shown, the method may include steps S110 - S120 .

[0061] In step S110, the power level of the household mopping platform is detected.

[0062] For example, the power level of the home mopping platform can be monitored or detected in real time or at regular intervals, and the power level can be displayed in an application (application, APP) on the terminal device.

[0063] In step S120, if the power level of the home mopping platform is less than the threshold power level, the home mopping platform is controlled to enter a first sleep mode.

[0064] Specifically, the threshold power level can be set according to manual experience, for example, the threshold power level can be 5% of the power level. When the power level of the home mop platform is less than the threshold power level, it means that the home mop platform may be difficult to maintain stable operation, or the battery of the home mop platform is about to enter battery protection. In order to reduce the power consumption of the home mop platform, the home mop platform can be controlled to enter the first sleep mode.

[0065] For example, the power level of the home mopping platform can be detected or determined by the main control chip. When the main control chip finds that the power level is less than a threshold power level, the home mopping platform can be controlled to enter the first sleep mode.

[0066] Specifically, in the first sleep mode, the power supply of the Bluetooth module of the home mopping platform is maintained, and the power supply of the main control chip of the home mopping platform is turned off.

[0067] When the power supply of the main control chip of the home towing platform is turned off, the power supply of the peripheral modules powered by the main control chip in the home towing platform is also disconnected. It is worth noting that the power supply of the Bluetooth module of the home towing platform in this application can be controlled by the battery master switch. Usually, the power supply of the Bluetooth module will be turned off only when the towing platform is turned off or the battery is out of power. Therefore, in the first sleep mode, that is, deep sleep, only the power supply of the Bluetooth module in the home towing platform is not turned off. At this time, the Bluetooth module can still work, such as communicating with other electronic devices.

[0068] Exemplarily, when the main control chip finds that the power level is less than the threshold power level, a control signal (for example, a low level) for entering the first sleep mode can be sent to the Bluetooth module through the control pin of the main control chip, or the main control chip can send a command to the Bluetooth module through the serial port (serial communication interface), so that the Bluetooth module controls to shut down the power supply of the main control chip to enter the first sleep mode.

[0069] Optionally, the Bluetooth module may include a first control pin, and the first control pin may be connected to the main power pin of the main control chip. Turning off the power supply of the main control chip of the home dragging platform may include: controlling the power supply of the main control chip to be turned off through a control signal output by the first control pin of the Bluetooth module.

[0070] In addition, turning on the power supply of the main control chip may also include: controlling the turning on of the power supply of the main control chip through a control signal (eg, a high level) outputted by a first control pin of the Bluetooth module.

[0071] As an example, the first control pin may output a control signal based on a customized software control protocol in the Bluetooth module.

[0072] Optionally, in the first sleep mode, the Bluetooth module reduces the broadcast frequency.

[0073] For example, when the Bluetooth module receives a control signal from the control pin of the main control chip to enter the first sleep mode, it controls to shut down the power supply of the main control chip while reducing its own broadcast frequency. Based on this, the power consumption of the home mopping platform in the first sleep mode can be further reduced.

[0074] In addition, when it is necessary to exit the first sleep mode, the Bluetooth module turns on the power supply of the main control chip and returns to the normal broadcast frequency at the same time.

[0075] Therefore, based on the present application, when the power of the home toy platform is less than the threshold power, the power supply of the main control chip in the home toy platform can be turned off, thereby turning off the power supply of peripheral modules except the Bluetooth module, so that the home toy platform enters the first sleep mode. In the first sleep mode, the power supply of the Bluetooth module is retained in the home toy platform. The Bluetooth module has lower power consumption than the main control chip and other wireless modules (such as WI-FI modules), and it also helps the home toy platform to be remotely awakened. Therefore, compared with the prior art of controlling the power supply of peripheral modules to be turned off by the main control chip, the power consumption of the home toy platform is lower, and the awakening operation of the home toy platform can be made more convenient.

[0076] Optionally, if the power of the household mopping platform is less than the threshold power, controlling the household mopping platform to enter the first sleep mode (ie, step S120) may include: Figure 3 Steps S121-S124 are shown.

[0077] In step S121, if the power of the home towing platform is less than the threshold power, it is determined whether the home towing platform is integrated with the mobile device.

[0078] The self-moving device may be any mechanical device that can move autonomously in a home environment, for example, it may be a cleaning robot; cleaning robots include sweeping robots, mopping robots, and sweeping and mopping robots, etc.

[0079] The self-mobile device can be used to drive the home towing platform to move after being combined with the home towing platform, for example, it can drive the home towing platform to charge. The self-mobile device and the home towing platform can communicate wirelessly through a Bluetooth module or a WI-FI module.

[0080] If yes, that is, the home towing platform and the self-moving device have been combined, the home towing platform instructs the self-moving device to directly carry the home towing platform to charge; if no, that is, the home towing platform and the self-moving device are not combined, then enter step S122.

[0081] In step S122, if not, the home dragging platform is controlled to merge with the self-moving device.

[0082] When the power of the home tow platform is insufficient to maintain operation, you can try to combine your mobile device with the home tow platform and take the home tow platform to charge. For example, you can use a Bluetooth module or a WI-FI module to wirelessly communicate and send a charging instruction to your mobile device, instructing your mobile device to receive an infrared signal sent by the home tow platform, move to the area where the tow platform belongs, and dock and combine with the home tow platform.

[0083] In step S123, it is further determined whether the household object-hauling platform is successfully integrated with the self-moving device within a first preset time.

[0084] Specifically, the timing can be started after the household mopping platform sends a charging instruction to the cleaning robot. The first preset time can be set according to manual experience, for example, 20 minutes, which is not limited in this application. The integration of the household mopping platform and the self-moving device can also be detected or judged by the main control chip, and the main control chip can send a corresponding control signal based on the integration. Therefore, the main control chip can be used to determine whether the household mopping platform is successfully integrated with the self-moving device.

[0085] If so, the home dragging platform is successfully combined with the self-moving device within the first preset time. Figure 4 As shown, taking the self-mobile device as a cleaning robot as an example, the cleaning robot 200 can carry the household mopping platform 100 to move to the area where the base station 400 is located, and carry the household mopping platform 100 to dock with the base station 400 and form an electrical connection. Since the base station 400 is connected to the mains, when the household mopping platform 100 and the base station 400 are electrically connected, the base station 400 can charge the household mopping platform 100 and the cleaning robot 200 through the electrical connection between the fourth electrode sheet 410 and the second electrode sheet 120 of the household mopping platform.

[0086] If not, that is, the home-use dragging platform fails to merge with the self-moving device within the first preset time, the process proceeds to step S124.

[0087] In step S124, if not, the home transport platform is controlled to enter the first sleep mode.

[0088] That is, if the home mop platform fails to combine with the self-moving device within the first preset time, it means that the home mop platform may not be able to be charged at this time, and it can be controlled to enter the first sleep mode to reduce the power consumption of the home mop platform. If the home mop platform successfully combines with the self-moving device within the first preset time, it means that the home mop platform will be able to be charged soon, and in order to ensure that the functions of the home mop platform can be performed normally, it will not be controlled to enter the first sleep mode.

[0089] Optionally, the self-moving device can be a cleaning robot, a second combining piece can be provided on the top of the cleaning robot, a first combining piece can be provided on the bottom of the household mopping platform, and the second combining piece can be used to automatically combine with the first combining piece to combine the household mopping platform and the cleaning robot.

[0090] The structures of the first combining member and the second combining member are not limited.

[0091] like Figure 4 As shown, after the docking of the household mopping platform 100 and the cleaning robot 200 is detected, that is, after the first electrode sheet 110 of the household mopping platform 100 and the third electrode sheet 210 of the cleaning robot 200 are electrically connected, the first coupling member 130 of the household mopping platform 100 is located above the second coupling member 220 of the cleaning robot. At this time, the first coupling member 130 of the household mopping platform 100, i.e., the snap-on member, is controlled to move vertically downward, so that the first coupling member 130 is embedded in the second coupling member 220 of the cleaning robot, i.e., the snap-on hole, so that the snap-on member is snapped into the snap-on hole, thereby playing a role of fixed connection and realizing the integration of the equipment.

[0092] In one example, if the first coupling part of the household towing platform is a snap-in hole and the second coupling part of the cleaning robot is a snap-in part, the combination process includes: after detecting that the household towing platform and the cleaning robot are docked, controlling the snap-in part of the cleaning robot to move vertically upward so that the snap-in part is embedded in the snap-in hole of the towing platform to achieve device combination.

[0093] In addition to the snap connection for combination or separation, the first combination piece can also be attached to the second combination piece based on magnetic adsorption to achieve combination and disassembly. That is, by controlling the magnetic strength of the matching pieces of the household mopping platform and the cleaning robot, the household mopping platform and the cleaning robot can be combined and disassembled.

[0094] After successful integration, the household mopping platform is fixed to the top of the cleaning robot, so that the positioning of the household mopping platform is more accurate. When the cleaning robot drives the household mopping platform to move, the position of the household mopping platform can be confirmed through the positioning function of the cleaning robot.

[0095] Optionally, after further determining whether the household object-hauling platform is successfully integrated with the mobile device within the first preset time (ie, step S123), the method may further include step S125.

[0096] In step S125, if (i.e., the home-use moped platform successfully merges with the self-mobile device within the first preset time), then when the home-use moped platform has not successfully docked with the base station after the second preset time, or when the home-use moped platform receives a notification of failure to return to the base station sent by the self-mobile device, the home-use moped platform is controlled to enter the first sleep mode; wherein the base station can be used to charge the home-use moped platform and / or the self-mobile device.

[0097] Specifically, the second preset time can be set according to manual experience, for example, the second preset time can be 1 hour, which is not limited in this application. If the home toy platform fails to dock with the base station after the second preset time, or the home toy platform receives a notification of failure to return to the base station sent by the mobile device, for example, the home toy platform is trapped in the process of being driven by the mobile device, resulting in a failure to return to the base station; it means that the home toy platform still cannot be charged, so the home toy platform can be controlled to enter the first sleep mode at this time to reduce the power consumption of the home toy platform.

[0098] Optionally, after controlling the household towing platform to enter the first sleep mode, the method may further include: Figure 5 Step S130 is shown.

[0099] In step S130, if the home mopping platform re-establishes a Bluetooth connection with other electronic devices through the Bluetooth module, or the home mopping platform receives a work instruction through the Bluetooth module, the power supply of the main control chip is turned on.

[0100] Specifically, the electronic device can be a terminal device, such as a mobile phone, a computer, etc.; the electronic device can also be a self-moving device; the work instruction can be an instruction issued by the user through an APP on the terminal device, or it can be an instruction sent by a cleaning robot (i.e., a self-moving device). When the home mopping platform re-establishes a Bluetooth connection with other electronic devices, or the home mopping platform receives a work instruction through the Bluetooth module, it means that other electronic devices or users need the home mopping platform to work, so it should exit the first sleep mode, that is, restore the power supply of the main control chip. When the power supply of the main control chip is restored, the power supply of the peripheral modules powered by the main control chip is also restored, so the home mopping platform can work normally.

[0101] For example, in an actual application scenario, after the user's mobile phone establishes a Bluetooth connection with the home toy platform, the home toy platform is awakened. At this time, the user can send a charging instruction through the APP in the mobile phone, and communicate wirelessly with the mobile device through the WI-FI module to instruct the mobile device to carry the home toy platform for charging.

[0102] For example, after the self-mobile device establishes a Bluetooth connection with the home towing platform, the home towing platform is awakened. At this time, the home towing platform can wirelessly communicate with the self-mobile device to instruct the self-mobile device to carry the home towing platform for charging.

[0103] Optionally, if the power level of the household mopping platform is greater than a threshold power level, the method may further include steps S140 and S150.

[0104] In step S140, it is determined whether the household mopping platform is in a standby state for more than a third preset time, or it is determined whether the household mopping platform is in a charging state for more than a fourth preset time.

[0105] It should be noted that the standby state is a state in which the home mopping platform does not perform a working task. The third preset time and the fourth preset time can be set and adjusted according to manual experience. The third preset time and the fourth preset time can be set to be the same or different; for example, the third preset time can be 10 minutes, and the fourth preset time can also be 10 minutes. This application does not limit this.

[0106] If not, that is, the home mopping platform is in the standby state for less than the third preset time, or the home mopping platform is in the charging state for less than the fourth preset time, the home mopping platform is not controlled to enter the second sleep mode.

[0107] If yes, then in step S150, the home transport platform is controlled to enter the second sleep mode.

[0108] In the second sleep mode, the power supply of the Bluetooth module and the main control chip is maintained, the main control chip maintains the power supply of the first type of peripheral modules, and the main control chip turns off the power supply of the second type of peripheral modules.

[0109] When the power of the home automation platform is greater than the threshold power, and the home automation platform is in the standby state for more than the third preset time or the home automation platform is in the charging state for more than the fourth preset time, it means that the power of the home automation platform is sufficient and does not need to work temporarily. At this time, the home automation platform can be controlled to enter the second sleep mode, that is, a shallow sleep mode relative to the first sleep mode. In this mode, the home automation platform maintains the power supply of the Bluetooth module, the main control chip and some peripheral modules, which helps the home automation platform reduce energy consumption, so that the home automation platform can save power consumption in the standby state, improve the charging efficiency in the charging state, and maintain some functions.

[0110] Optionally, the home towing platform can supply power to the carried camera, and the first type of peripheral modules may include one or more of the following: a camera power supply module; a light indication module; a WI-FI module.

[0111] It should be noted that if Figure 2 As shown, since the household device 300 and the camera 500 usually do not have built-in batteries, when the household device 300 and the camera 500 are placed on the household drag platform 100, the household drag platform 100 can provide power to the household device 300 and the camera 500 so that the household device 300 and the camera 500 can cooperate to perform work.

[0112] In the second sleep mode, keeping the camera power supply module powered can enable users to remotely monitor at any time, keeping the light indication module powered can enable users to intuitively obtain the status of the home mopping platform through light indication, and keeping the WI-FI module powered can enable users to remotely control the home mopping platform through wireless communication at any time, thereby improving the user experience.

[0113] Optionally, the second category of peripheral modules may include one or more of the following: a household appliance power supply module; a universal serial bus (USB) power supply module; a drive motor module, the drive motor module is used to drive the first coupling member of the household towing platform to move and combine with the second coupling member of the self-moving device to combine the household towing platform and the self-moving device, and / or is used to drive the brake limit of the household towing platform, the brake limit is used to keep the household towing platform in a limited state.
