Description

[0001] This disclosure claims the priority of the Chinese patent application filed with the China Patent Office on January 27, 2025, with application number 202510126171.7 and application name “A Self-Regulating Vacuum Cleaner”, the entire contents of which are incorporated by reference in this disclosure. Technical Field

[0002] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of cleaning equipment, and in particular to a method, device, equipment, medium and product for cleaning equipment. Background Art

[0003] In cleaning equipment, how to effectively handle large particles of garbage and carpet cleaning is always an important concern. Cleaning equipment is usually equipped with an opening and closing plate. The main function of this opening and closing plate is to adjust the gap between the floor brush and the cleaning surface so as to better handle particles of different sizes or perform carpet cleaning.

[0004] Since the mechanical and electrical structure of the floor brush motor and its related control are more complex, the response of its output is slower. This response delay may cause the adjustment action of the floor brush motor and other components such as the opening and closing plate to be out of sync, resulting in energy waste.

[0005] Therefore, the main challenge for the control of floor brush motors, especially when dealing with carpets and large particles, is how to avoid unnecessary energy consumption and redundancy while providing sufficient cleaning power, which may involve optimizing the response and control strategy of the floor brush motor to avoid wasting the output of the floor brush motor. Summary of the invention

[0006] The present disclosure provides a method, device, equipment, medium and product for a cleaning device, which can avoid unnecessary speed adjustment of a floor brush motor while protecting the cleaning surface being cleaned, and reduce redundant design requirements for parameters such as speed or power of the floor brush motor.

[0007] In a first aspect, the present disclosure provides a method for a cleaning device, the cleaning device comprising a floor brush assembly, the floor brush assembly comprising a roller brush, an adjustment mechanism, and a floor brush motor for driving the roller brush to rotate, the position of the adjustment mechanism being determined based on the type of dirt on a cleaning surface and / or the material of the cleaning surface, and different positions of the adjustment mechanism corresponding to different vacuum degrees inside the floor brush assembly; the method comprising:

[0008] Testing the material of the cleaning surface; and

[0009] When it is determined that the material of the cleaning surface is carpet, the control adjustment mechanism is in the first position and waits for a preset time period, wherein during the preset time period, the floor brush motor is controlled to clean the cleaning surface at a first rotation speed.

[0010] Therefore, after the cleaning device recognizes that the type of the current cleaning surface is a carpet, it is preferred to control the simpler and more responsive adjustment mechanism to be in the first position to reduce the vacuum inside the floor brush assembly to adapt it to the cleaning of the carpet. It can also reduce the load of the floor brush motor in extreme cases, so that the redundant design requirements that need to be considered when designing the floor brush motor are lower. For example, in the case of a carpet, the overload caused by adjusting the speed of the floor brush motor before adjusting the position of the adjustment mechanism; and the adjustment mechanism is controlled to be in the first position to wait for a preset time period, and the floor brush motor is controlled to run at a first speed during the preset time period. At this stage, the floor brush motor will not increase the speed, thereby reducing the possibility of the floor brush assembly being rolled into the fibers on the carpet. Furthermore, after the adjustment mechanism is controlled to run in the first position, if it reduces the vacuum inside the floor brush assembly to meet the cleaning requirements, there is no need to adjust the speed of the floor brush motor, reducing the adverse consequences of repeated adjustment of the speed of the floor brush motor on the floor brush motor, and reducing the waste of electricity.

[0011] In addition, the above-mentioned automated material detection and adjustment of the position of the adjustment mechanism reduces manual intervention by the user, improves the usability and user satisfaction of the cleaning equipment, and controls the adjustment mechanism to be in the first position to reduce the vacuum degree inside the floor brush assembly, thereby reducing wear on the cleaning equipment and carpet, and reducing the frequency of maintenance and replacement, thereby saving long-term use costs.

[0012] Optionally, the cleaning device further includes at least one of a current sensor for detecting current information of the floor brush motor, an electric power sensor for detecting electric power information of the floor brush motor, and a vacuum sensor for detecting vacuum information in the floor brush assembly, and the method further includes:

[0013] After waiting for a preset period of time, obtaining at least one of current information, electric power information, and vacuum degree information in real time;

[0014] Based on at least one of the current information, the electric power information, and the vacuum degree information acquired in real time, the floor brush motor is controlled to maintain the first speed or increase to the second speed.

[0015] In this way, the motor speed is adjusted by obtaining at least one of the current information, electric power information, and vacuum degree information in real time to ensure that the ideal cleaning effect is provided under different cleaning conditions. Especially when dealing with different types of dirt or cleaning surface materials, by dynamically adjusting the motor speed, unnecessary high-energy consumption operation can be avoided and the overall energy efficiency of the cleaning equipment can be improved. Therefore, by using different speeds and vacuum degrees in different scenarios, the cleaning equipment can achieve energy-saving effects, thereby extending battery life or reducing power consumption. By avoiding overload operation and optimizing motor load, the wear on the cleaning equipment and the carpet can also be reduced, extending the service life of the floor brush motor and the carpet.

[0016] Optionally, based on at least one of the current information, the electric power information, and the vacuum degree information acquired in real time, controlling the floor brush motor to maintain the first speed or increase the speed to the second speed includes:

[0017] Based on at least one of the current information, electric power information, and vacuum degree information acquired in real time, determining whether the real-time load of the floor brush motor or the real-time vacuum degree in the floor brush assembly is greater than or equal to a first threshold; and

[0018] When the speed is greater than or equal to the first threshold, the floor brush motor is controlled to increase to the second speed.

[0019] When the speed is less than a first threshold, the floor brush motor is controlled to maintain at a first speed.

[0020] Therefore, by adjusting the motor speed based on at least one of the current information, electric power information, and vacuum information obtained in real time, it is possible to ensure that an ideal cleaning effect is provided under different cleaning conditions. In particular, when additional cleaning force is not required, maintaining a lower speed of the floor brush motor helps to reduce energy consumption and improve the overall energy efficiency of the cleaning equipment. It can also avoid unnecessary high-load operation, reduce the risk of wear and overheating of the cleaning equipment, and extend the service life of the floor brush motor and other components. In this way, by judging that the position of the control adjustment mechanism is still not sufficient to achieve the desired effect after moving, and then adjusting the motor speed, it is possible to reduce the adverse consequences and waste of electricity caused by repeated adjustment of the speed of the floor brush motor, thereby improving the flexibility of the motor speed adjustment.

[0021] Optionally, the method further includes:

[0022] After determining that the material of the cleaning surface is carpet and before controlling the adjustment mechanism to be in the first position and waiting for a preset time period, detecting the type of dirt on the cleaning surface;

[0023] Wherein, when the type of dirt detected is the first type of dirt, the first speed is set to be higher than the original speed of the floor brush motor;

[0024] When the type of dirt detected is the second type of dirt, the first rotation speed is set to be equal to the original rotation speed of the floor brush motor;

[0025] The first type of dirt is granular dirt having a diameter or height greater than or equal to a second threshold, and the second type of dirt is granular dirt having a diameter or height less than the second threshold.

[0026] Therefore, by identifying the type of dirt in advance and adjusting the speed of the floor brush motor, it can be ensured that the cleaning equipment provides ideal cleaning effects when dealing with different types of dirt, especially when dealing with larger particles, and the speed of the floor brush motor can be increased only when necessary, avoiding unnecessary high-energy consumption operation, improving the overall energy efficiency of the cleaning equipment, and avoiding unnecessary high-load operation, reducing the wear and failure rate of the cleaning equipment, and reducing the frequency of maintenance and replacement, thereby saving long-term use costs.

[0027] Optionally, the second threshold is a value between 1 mm and 10 mm.

[0028] Therefore, setting the second threshold as a range provides greater flexibility. By dynamically adjusting the threshold between 1mm and 10mm, the floor brush assembly can adapt to a variety of cleaning scenarios and thus can more effectively handle various types of dirt from fine dust to larger particles. This flexibility allows the floor brush assembly to automatically select the appropriate cleaning mode under different cleaning surface materials and dirt conditions, thereby increasing the scope of application.

[0029] Optionally, the method further includes:

[0030] When it is determined that the material of the cleaning surface is not carpet, the floor brush motor is controlled to maintain the original rotation speed to clean the cleaning surface.

[0031] In this way, after confirming that the cleaning surface material is non-carpet, by maintaining the original rotation speed, unnecessary high energy consumption operation can be avoided, especially when no additional cleaning force is required, thereby improving the overall energy efficiency of the cleaning equipment. In addition, the possibility of entanglement in carpet fibers can be reduced, because for non-carpet materials, excessively high rotation speed may cause wear or damage to the cleaning surface. Maintaining the original rotation speed helps protect the cleaning surface material and extend its service life.

[0032] It is understandable that maintaining the original speed can also avoid unnecessary high-load operation of the floor brush motor.

[0033] Optionally, the adjustment mechanism includes a stopper, and the position of the stopper is changed by adjusting the height of the stopper relative to the cleaning surface; wherein controlling the adjustment mechanism to be in the first position includes:

[0034] The stopper is controlled to be at a preset stopper height to reduce the load of the floor brush motor and the vacuum degree in the floor brush assembly.

[0035] Therefore, by adjusting the height of the block, the cleaning equipment can provide ideal cleaning effects under different cleaning conditions, especially when it is necessary to reduce the vacuum degree inside the floor brush assembly to avoid damage to the carpet or other materials. By reducing the motor load and vacuum degree, unnecessary energy consumption can be reduced, improving the cleaning effect while reducing the floor brush motor load and overheating risk. In addition, reducing the load of the floor brush motor and the vacuum degree inside the floor brush assembly can also help protect the cleaning surface material and avoid damage caused by excessive adsorption or friction, thereby reducing the frequency of maintenance and replacement and saving costs.

[0036] Optionally, a bin cover is provided at the upper part of the adjustment bin provided at the front part of the floor brush assembly, an air inlet is provided on the bin cover, the adjustment mechanism further comprises a valve for blocking the air inlet, and the ventilation area of ​​the air inlet is changed by changing the position of the valve; wherein, controlling the adjustment mechanism to be in the first position comprises:

[0037] The air valve is controlled so that the ventilation area of ​​the air inlet is at a preset ventilation area, so as to reduce the load of the floor brush motor and the vacuum degree in the floor brush assembly.

[0038] Therefore, by adjusting the ventilation area, the cleaning equipment can provide ideal cleaning effects under different cleaning conditions, especially when it is necessary to reduce the vacuum level inside the floor brush assembly to avoid damage to carpets or other materials. While improving the cleaning effect, it also reduces the load on the floor brush motor and the risk of overheating. In addition, proper vacuum level and load adjustment can also help protect the cleaning surface material and avoid damage caused by excessive adsorption or friction, thereby reducing the frequency of maintenance and replacement and saving costs.

[0039] Optionally, the cleaning device also includes an optical sensor, and the detection of the type of dirt and / or the material of the cleaning surface is based on optical information detected by the optical sensor, and the optical information includes a signal waveform; detecting the material of the cleaning surface includes determining that the material of the cleaning surface is carpet based on the signal waveform.

[0040] It is understandable that the signal waveform provides richer information, making the carpet identification process more accurate. For example, simply comparing the optical information provided by the optical sensor with the threshold value may cause misjudgment, or even fail to distinguish between the first type of dirt and the carpet. Therefore, by analyzing the signal waveform, misjudgment can be reduced and the reliability of identification can be improved. Moreover, the signal waveform analysis can be performed quickly, so that the cleaning device can detect the carpet in real time, and then select the appropriate cleaning method, thereby improving the cleaning effect while avoiding damage to the cleaning surface and extending the service life of the cleaning surface.

[0041] Therefore, by using optical sensors, the material of the cleaning surface and the type of dirt can be accurately identified, improving the accuracy of identification and the response speed of the cleaning equipment.

[0042] Optionally, the signal waveform is a waveform of the optical signal changing with time, wherein when the signal waveform indicates a continuous change, it is determined that the material of the cleaning surface is carpet.

[0043] In this way, by analyzing the continuously changing characteristics of the waveform, the cleaning equipment can quickly and accurately identify that the material of the cleaning surface is carpet, thereby improving cleaning efficiency, and the cleaning equipment can analyze and respond to the signal waveform in real time, thereby ensuring that it can quickly adapt to environmental changes during the cleaning process and provide instant cleaning adjustments. In addition, by identifying special materials such as carpets, the cleaning equipment can select appropriate cleaning methods and avoid using cleaning strategies that may damage the cleaning surface, thereby extending the service life of the cleaning surface.

[0044] In a second aspect, the present disclosure provides a device for a cleaning device, the cleaning device comprising a floor brush assembly, the floor brush assembly comprising a roller brush, an adjustment mechanism, and a floor brush motor for driving the roller brush to rotate, the position of the adjustment mechanism is determined based on the type of dirt on the cleaning surface and / or the material of the cleaning surface, and different positions of the adjustment mechanism correspond to different vacuum degrees inside the floor brush assembly, the device comprising:

[0045] A detection module, used to detect the material of the cleaning surface;

[0046] A control module, for controlling the adjustment mechanism to be in a first position and waiting for a preset time period when it is determined that the material of the cleaning surface is carpet;

[0047] During a preset time period, the floor brush motor is controlled to clean the cleaning surface at a first rotation speed.

[0048] In a third aspect, the present disclosure provides a cleaning device, comprising a floor brush assembly, the floor brush assembly comprising a roller brush, an adjustment mechanism and a floor brush motor for driving the roller brush to rotate, the position of the adjustment mechanism being determined based on the type of dirt on the cleaning surface and / or the material of the cleaning surface, and different positions of the adjustment mechanism corresponding to different degrees of vacuum inside the floor brush assembly; the cleaning device is used to perform any method as described in the first aspect.

[0049] In a fourth aspect, the present disclosure provides an electronic device, comprising: a processor, and a memory communicatively connected to the processor;

[0050] Memory stores computer-executable instructions;

[0051] The processor executes the computer-executable instructions stored in the memory to implement any method as described in the first aspect.

[0052] In a fifth aspect, the present disclosure provides a computer-readable storage medium, wherein the computer-readable storage medium stores computer-executable instructions, and when the computer-executable instructions are executed by a processor, they are used to implement any method as in the first aspect.

[0053] In a sixth aspect, the present disclosure provides a computer program product, comprising a computer program, which implements any method in the first aspect when executed by a processor.

[0054] It should be noted that the second to sixth aspects of the present disclosure correspond to the technical solutions of the first aspect of the present disclosure, and the beneficial effects achieved by each aspect and the corresponding feasible implementation methods are similar, which will not be repeated here.

[0055] In summary, the present disclosure provides a method, apparatus, equipment, medium and product for a cleaning device. By detecting the material of the cleaning surface, the cleaning device can identify cleaning scenes that require special treatment. For example, when the cleaning surface is identified as a carpet, the adjustment mechanism can be controlled to be in the first position and wait for a period of time. The first position corresponds to a vacuum suitable for carpet cleaning, which can ensure that the suction force is sufficient but not excessive. During the waiting period, the floor brush motor can be controlled to operate at a first speed. By controlling the floor brush motor to operate at the first speed during the waiting period, the cleaning device can provide sufficient cleaning power while avoiding excessive energy consumption. Because after the adjustment mechanism is controlled to operate in the first position, it reduces the vacuum inside the floor brush assembly to meet the cleaning needs, so there is no need to increase the output of the floor brush motor again. In this way, from the perspective of avoiding unnecessary speed adjustment of the floor brush motor, when the presence of a carpet is detected, the vacuum degree is preferentially reduced by controlling a simpler and more responsive adjustment mechanism. After the control adjustment mechanism is in the first position and is insufficient to achieve the desired effect, the speed of the floor brush motor is adjusted again, thereby reducing the adverse consequences of repeated speed adjustment of the floor brush motor on the motor and reducing the waste of electric energy, thereby lowering the redundant design requirements that need to be considered when designing the floor brush motor. From the perspective of protecting the carpet, while the control adjustment mechanism is in the first position and waiting for a period of time, the floor brush motor will not increase the speed to reduce the possibility of entanglement with fibers on the carpet. In addition, unnecessary increase in the output of the floor brush motor is avoided, thereby reducing energy waste while improving effective cleaning. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0068] The above drawings show clear embodiments of the present disclosure, which will be described in more detail below. These drawings and text descriptions are not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure in any way, but to illustrate the concepts of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art by referring to specific embodiments. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0069] In order to facilitate the clear description of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, words such as "first" and "second" are used to distinguish between identical or similar items with substantially identical functions and effects. For example, the first device and the second device are only used to distinguish between different devices, and their order is not limited. Those skilled in the art can understand that words such as "first" and "second" do not limit the quantity and execution order, and words such as "first" and "second" do not necessarily limit them to be different.

[0070] It should be noted that in the present disclosure, words such as "exemplary" or "for example" are used to indicate examples, illustrations or descriptions. Any embodiment or design described as "exemplary" or "for example" in the present disclosure should not be interpreted as being more preferred or more advantageous than other embodiments or designs. Specifically, the use of words such as "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present related concepts in a specific way.

[0071] In the present disclosure, "at least one" means one or more, and "plurality" means two or more. "And / or" describes the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that three relationships may exist. For example, A and / or B can mean: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone, where A and B can be singular or plural. The character " / " generally indicates that the previous and next associated objects are in an "or" relationship. "At least one of the following" or similar expressions refers to any combination of these items, including any combination of single or plural items. For example, at least one of a, b, or c can mean: a, b, c, ab, ac, bc, or abc, where a, b, c can be single or plural.

[0072] Under the premise of considering carpet and large particle cleaning, how to ensure the normal operation of the floor brush motor and provide sufficient cleaning force while avoiding the redundant design of the floor brush motor is the current issue that needs attention. Existing cleaning equipment is usually equipped with an opening and closing plate. The main function of this opening and closing plate is to adjust the gap between the floor brush and the cleaning surface so as to better handle particles of different sizes or perform carpet cleaning.

[0073] In one possible implementation, since the mechanical and electrical structure of the floor brush motor itself and its related control are more complex, its output responds more slowly, resulting in a time misalignment that causes a response delay. This response delay may cause the floor brush motor to be out of sync with the adjustment actions of other components such as the opening and closing plates, thereby causing energy waste. For example, when it is detected that the material of the cleaning surface is carpet, the opening and closing plate will rise in response to the detection, and the floor brush motor will also increase its output independently of the control of the opening and closing plate due to the increase in vacuum caused by contact with the carpet. This increase in output is sometimes unnecessary because the lifting of the opening and closing plate may reduce the vacuum inside the floor brush assembly without the need for the floor brush motor to increase its output.

[0074] In response to the above problems, the present disclosure provides a method for a cleaning device. By detecting the material of the cleaning surface, the cleaning device can identify cleaning scenes that require special treatment. For example, when the cleaning surface is identified as a carpet, the adjustment mechanism can be controlled to be in a first position and wait for a period of time. The first position corresponds to a vacuum level suitable for carpet cleaning, which can ensure that the suction is sufficient but not excessive. During the waiting period, the floor brush motor can be controlled to operate at a first speed. By controlling the floor brush motor to operate at the first speed during the waiting period, the cleaning device can provide sufficient cleaning power while avoiding excessive energy consumption. This is because after the adjustment mechanism is controlled to operate in the first position, it reduces the vacuum level inside the floor brush assembly to meet the cleaning requirements, so there is no need to increase the output of the floor brush motor again. In this way, when the presence of a carpet is detected, the vacuum level is preferentially reduced by controlling the adjustment mechanism, which is simpler and responds faster. During the period of controlling the adjustment mechanism to be in the first position and waiting for a period of time, the floor brush motor will not increase the speed to avoid increasing unnecessary output of the floor brush motor, thereby improving effective cleaning while reducing energy waste.

[0075] Optionally, the method for cleaning equipment provided by the present disclosure is applied to cleaning equipment, exemplarily, Figure 1 A partial structural diagram of a cleaning device provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown in FIG. Figure 1 As shown, the cleaning device 200 includes a floor brush assembly 100, which includes a roller brush 101, an adjustment mechanism 102 and a floor brush motor 103 for driving the roller brush to rotate. The position of the adjustment mechanism 102 is determined based on the type of dirt on the cleaning surface and / or the material of the cleaning surface, and different positions of the adjustment mechanism 102 correspond to different vacuum levels inside the floor brush assembly 100.

[0076] For example, Figure 2 A partial structural diagram of another cleaning device provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure, such as Figure 2 As shown, the cleaning device 200 has Figure 1 In addition to the structure shown, the cleaning device 200 also includes at least one of a current sensor 104 for detecting current information of the floor brush motor 103, an electric power sensor 105 for detecting electric power information of the floor brush motor 103, and a vacuum sensor 106 for detecting vacuum information in the floor brush assembly 103.

[0077] Among them, the current change can reflect the change of the floor brush motor load, the power change can provide comprehensive information about the working status of the floor brush motor, the vacuum change can reflect the change of the vacuum inside the floor brush motor, and reflect the density of the material of the specific cleaning surface or the amount of dirt. Therefore, the cleaning equipment is equipped with various types of sensors that can obtain current information, electric power information and vacuum information in real time. These current information, electric power information and vacuum information can provide the real-time status of the floor brush motor load and the vacuum degree in the floor brush assembly.

[0078] For example, Figure 3 A partial structural schematic diagram of a floor brush assembly provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure, Figure 4 An exploded schematic diagram of a floor brush assembly provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown in FIG. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, an adjusting bin 107 is provided at the front of the floor brush assembly 100, an adjusting mechanism 102 is provided on the adjusting bin 107, a bin cover 11 is provided on the upper portion of the adjusting bin 107 provided at the front of the floor brush assembly 100, an air inlet 12 is provided on the bin cover 11, the adjusting mechanism 102 includes a block 13 and / or an air valve 14 for blocking the air inlet 12, the position of the block 13 is changed by adjusting the height of the block 13 relative to the cleaning surface, and the ventilation area of ​​the air inlet 12 is changed by adjusting the position of the air valve 14.

[0079] The position of the valve 14 can be adjusted as needed to control the opening size of the air inlet 12 . By changing the position of the valve 14 , the regulating mechanism 102 can accurately control the air flow entering the floor brush assembly 100 .

[0080] Optional, such as Figure 4 As shown, the floor brush assembly 100 further includes an optical sensor 108 , and the identification of the type of dirt and / or the material of the cleaning surface is at least partially based on optical information detected by the optical sensor 108 .

[0081] Among them, the optical sensor can detect the information on the cleaning surface in real time, and collect relevant information about the type of dirt and the material of the cleaning surface by capturing the optical information related to the cleaning surface. For example, the optical sensor 108 can detect different light intensity information, light energy information or light reflection characteristics, which are used to identify the material of the cleaning surface and the type of dirt.

[0082] The optical sensor 108 can detect and analyze the characteristics of the cleaning surface in real time. Therefore, by using the optical sensor 108, the material of the cleaning surface and the type of dirt can be accurately identified, thereby improving the accuracy of identification and the response speed of the cleaning device 200.

[0083] For example, Figure 5A schematic diagram of an application scenario provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure, taking the cleaning device 200 as a vacuum cleaner as an example, Figure 5 As shown, the application scenario includes a vacuum cleaner having a floor brush assembly 100. Taking carpet cleaning as an example, when the vacuum cleaner detects that the material of the cleaning surface is carpet, the adjustment mechanism can be controlled to be in the first position to reduce the vacuum degree inside the floor brush assembly 100 and wait for a period of time. During the waiting period, the floor brush motor can be controlled to operate at a first speed. At this time, the speed of the floor brush motor will not increase to avoid increasing unnecessary output of the floor brush motor. Furthermore, after waiting for a period of time, based on the vacuum degree inside the floor brush assembly 100, it is determined whether the speed of the floor brush motor needs to be adjusted, thereby reducing repeated speed adjustments of the floor brush motor and reducing energy waste.

[0084] It should be noted that the embodiment of the present disclosure does not specifically limit the type of the cleaning device 200 , which may be a vacuum cleaner, a floor scrubber, etc.

[0085] It should also be noted that the present disclosure does not specifically limit the application scenarios of the cleaning device 200, and it can be applied to home scenarios, shopping mall scenarios, school scenarios, and office scenarios.

[0086] It should be noted that, in the present disclosure, the floor brush assembly may also be referred to as a floor brush.

[0087] The technical solution of the present invention and how the technical solution of the present invention solves the above-mentioned technical problems are described in detail below with specific embodiments. The following specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be repeated in some embodiments. The embodiments of the present invention will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0088] Figure 6 A schematic diagram of a method for cleaning equipment provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown in FIG. Figure 6 As shown, the method for cleaning the device is applied to Figure 1-Figure 4 In the cleaning device shown; the self-cleaning method of the cleaning device comprises the following steps:

[0089] S601, inspect the material of the cleaning surface.

[0090] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the cleaning device is equipped with at least one type of sensor for detecting the material of the cleaning surface, such as an optical sensor, a current sensor, an electric power sensor or a vacuum sensor. The embodiments of the present disclosure do not specifically limit the type of sensor for detecting the material of the cleaning surface. Optionally, the current information of the floor brush motor detected by the current sensor can also indirectly indicate the material of the cleaning surface or the type of dirt. The electric power information of the floor brush motor detected by the electric power sensor can also indirectly reflect the specific material of the cleaning surface or the type of dirt. The vacuum information in the floor brush assembly detected by the vacuum sensor can reflect the density of the specific material of the cleaning surface or the size of the dirt, and thus can indirectly indicate the material or type of dirt on the cleaning surface.

[0091] Optionally, the material type of the cleaning surface may include carpet and non-carpet. Carpet may refer to a cleaning surface with a soft surface having fluff or fiber, and non-carpet may refer to a cleaning surface with a hard surface or no fluff, such as a wooden floor, a tile, or the like.

[0092] S602: When it is determined that the material of the cleaning surface is carpet, the adjustment mechanism is controlled to be in a first position and wait for a preset time period, wherein during the preset time period, the floor brush motor is controlled to clean the cleaning surface at a first rotation speed.

[0093] For example, in step S601, the cleaning device has confirmed through sensor detection that the cleaning surface is a carpet. Further, when it is determined that the material of the cleaning surface is a carpet, the control adjustment mechanism is in the following state: Figure 7 The first position shown, or Figure 8 As shown in the first position, the embodiment of the present disclosure does not limit the specific position corresponding to the first position of the adjustment mechanism, and it only needs to reduce the vacuum degree inside the floor brush assembly.

[0094] Among them, the first position of the adjustment mechanism requires waiting for a preset time period. Because after the adjustment mechanism is controlled to operate in the first position, if lowering the vacuum degree inside the floor brush assembly can meet the cleaning requirements, there is no need to adjust the speed of the floor brush motor again. Therefore, within the preset time period, the floor brush motor is set to run at the first speed.

[0095] It should be noted that the embodiment of the present disclosure does not specifically limit the size of the first rotational speed and the preset time period. The first rotational speed can be determined based on the rotational speed of the floor brush assembly in front of the carpet, or based on the material of the cleaning surface, and the preset time period can be determined based on the response time of the adjustment mechanism.

[0096] Therefore, after the cleaning device recognizes that the type of the current cleaning surface is a carpet, it is preferred to control the simpler and more responsive adjustment mechanism to be in the first position to reduce the vacuum inside the floor brush assembly to adapt it to the cleaning of the carpet. It can also reduce the load of the floor brush motor in extreme cases, so that the redundant design requirements that need to be considered when designing the floor brush motor are lower. For example, in the case of a carpet, the overload caused by adjusting the speed of the floor brush motor before adjusting the position of the adjustment mechanism; and the adjustment mechanism is controlled to be in the first position to wait for a preset time period, and the floor brush motor is controlled to run at a first speed during the preset time period. At this stage, the floor brush motor will not increase the speed, thereby reducing the possibility of the floor brush assembly being rolled into the fibers on the carpet. Furthermore, after the adjustment mechanism is controlled to run in the first position, if it reduces the vacuum inside the floor brush assembly to meet the cleaning requirements, there is no need to adjust the speed of the floor brush motor, reducing the adverse consequences of repeated adjustment of the speed of the floor brush motor on the floor brush motor, and reducing the waste of electricity.

[0097] In addition, the above-mentioned automated material detection and adjustment of the position of the adjustment mechanism reduces manual intervention by the user, improves the usability and user satisfaction of the cleaning equipment, and controls the adjustment mechanism to be in the first position to reduce the vacuum degree inside the floor brush assembly, thereby reducing wear on the cleaning equipment and carpet, and reducing the frequency of maintenance and replacement, thereby saving long-term use costs.

[0098] Optionally, the moving position of the adjustment mechanism can be changed according to the different loads brought by the materials of different cleaning surfaces or the types of dirt, so that the load of the floor brush motor always remains within a certain range, for example, the range is that the load of the floor brush motor is less than or equal to 120% of the rated power.

[0099] Optionally, the method further includes:

[0100] After waiting for a preset period of time, obtaining at least one of current information, electric power information, and vacuum degree information in real time;

[0101] Based on at least one of the current information, the electric power information, and the vacuum degree information acquired in real time, the floor brush motor is controlled to maintain the first speed or increase to the second speed.

[0102] In this step, after waiting for a preset period of time, the cleaning device can also obtain current information, electric power information and vacuum information in real time. These data reflect the motor load and vacuum status in the current cleaning process. Furthermore, based on the data obtained in real time, the current load condition of the floor brush motor is analyzed, and based on the analysis results, it is decided whether to maintain the floor brush motor at the first speed or increase it to the second speed.

[0103] It is understandable that if it is detected that the motor load is high or the vacuum degree is high, the motor speed can be further increased to enhance the cleaning effect; conversely, if the load is low and the vacuum degree meets the requirements, the current speed can be maintained to save energy.

[0104] In this way, the motor speed is adjusted by obtaining at least one of the current information, electric power information, and vacuum degree information in real time to ensure that the ideal cleaning effect is provided under different cleaning conditions. Especially when dealing with different types of dirt or cleaning surface materials, by dynamically adjusting the motor speed, unnecessary high-energy consumption operation can be avoided and the overall energy efficiency of the cleaning equipment can be improved. Therefore, by using different speeds and vacuum degrees in different scenarios, the cleaning equipment can achieve energy-saving effects, thereby extending battery life or reducing power consumption. By avoiding overload operation and optimizing motor load, the wear on the cleaning equipment and the carpet can also be reduced, extending the service life of the floor brush motor and the carpet.

[0105] Optionally, based on at least one of the current information, the electric power information, and the vacuum degree information acquired in real time, controlling the floor brush motor to maintain the first speed or increase the speed to the second speed includes:

[0106] Based on at least one of the current information, electric power information, and vacuum degree information acquired in real time, determining whether the real-time load of the floor brush motor or the real-time vacuum degree in the floor brush assembly is greater than or equal to a first threshold; and

[0107] When the speed is greater than or equal to the first threshold, the floor brush motor is controlled to increase to the second speed.

[0108] When the speed is less than a first threshold, the floor brush motor is controlled to maintain at a first speed.

[0109] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, a first threshold is set to evaluate the real-time load of the floor brush motor or the vacuum degree in the floor brush assembly. The first threshold can be preset according to the operating conditions of the cleaning equipment. The embodiment of the present disclosure does not limit the specific numerical value corresponding to the first threshold.

[0110] In this step, by real-time analysis of at least one of the current information, electric power information, and vacuum information, it is determined whether the load or vacuum degree of the floor brush motor is greater than or equal to the first threshold value. If it is greater than or equal to the first threshold value, this indicates that the current load or vacuum degree is too high, and the current cleaning conditions require a higher cleaning force. At this time, the floor brush motor is controlled to increase to the second speed to enhance the cleaning effect. If it is less than the first threshold value, it indicates that the cleaning force under the current cleaning conditions is sufficient, and the floor brush motor can be kept at the first speed to save energy.

[0111] Optionally, controlling the floor brush motor to increase to a second speed includes: when it is detected that the material of the cleaning surface is carpet and the type of dirt present is second type of dirt, controlling the floor brush motor to increase to a third speed; when it is detected that the material of the cleaning surface is carpet and the type of dirt present is first type of dirt, controlling the floor brush motor to increase to a fourth speed; because the friction between large particles of garbage and carpet is large, the fourth speed is set to be greater than the third speed.

[0112] Therefore, by adjusting the motor speed based on at least one of the current information, electric power information, and vacuum information obtained in real time, it is possible to ensure that an ideal cleaning effect is provided under different cleaning conditions. In particular, when additional cleaning force is not required, maintaining a lower speed of the floor brush motor helps to reduce energy consumption and improve the overall energy efficiency of the cleaning equipment. It can also avoid unnecessary high-load operation, reduce the risk of wear and overheating of the cleaning equipment, and extend the service life of the floor brush motor and other components. In this way, by judging that the position of the control adjustment mechanism is still not sufficient to achieve the desired effect after moving, and then adjusting the motor speed, it is possible to reduce the adverse consequences and waste of electricity caused by repeated adjustment of the speed of the floor brush motor, thereby improving the flexibility of the motor speed adjustment.

[0113] Optionally, the method further includes:

[0114] After determining that the material of the cleaning surface is carpet and before controlling the adjustment mechanism to be in the first position and waiting for a preset time period, detecting the type of dirt on the cleaning surface;

[0115] Wherein, when the type of dirt detected is the first type of dirt, the first speed is set to be higher than the original speed of the floor brush motor;

[0116] When the type of dirt detected is the second type of dirt, the first rotation speed is set to be equal to the original rotation speed of the floor brush motor;

[0117] The first type of dirt is granular dirt having a diameter or height greater than or equal to a second threshold, and the second type of dirt is granular dirt having a diameter or height less than the second threshold.

[0118] In the disclosed embodiment, the second threshold is a size standard for distinguishing different types of granular dirt. The second threshold is a preset value used to determine the diameter or height of the granular dirt so as to classify the dirt into first-category dirt or second-category dirt. For example, soybeans, pebbles, and other particles with a diameter or height greater than or equal to 2 mm are first-category dirt, and fine dust or microparticles with a diameter or height less than 2 mm are second-category dirt. The disclosed embodiment does not specifically limit the size of the second threshold, and it can be set based on the product performance parameters of the floor brush assembly.

[0119] Optionally, the second threshold is a value between 1 mm and 10 mm.

[0120] In the disclosed embodiment, the lower limit of 1mm is set to ensure that very fine granular dirt, such as dust and fine sand, can be effectively identified and processed. These tiny particles usually require higher suction and tighter contact with the floor brush to be effectively removed; the upper limit of 10mm is set to cover larger particles of dirt, such as debris, pebbles, etc. These larger particles require reducing the suction or increasing the distance between the adjustment mechanism and the cleaning surface to avoid blockage. In this way, within this range of 1mm to 10mm, the adjustment mechanism can dynamically adjust its position according to the detected dirt size.

[0121] In some embodiments, the first type of dirt is a diameter or height of less than 7 mm and greater than 2 mm.

[0122] Optionally, when the type of dirt detected is the first type of dirt and the material of the cleaning surface is not carpet, if the control adjustment mechanism is in the first position and after waiting for a preset time period, the real-time vacuum degree in the floor brush assembly is less than a first threshold, then the first rotational speed can also be set to be equal to the original rotational speed of the floor brush motor.

[0123] Therefore, setting the second threshold as a range provides greater flexibility. By dynamically adjusting the threshold between 1mm and 10mm, the floor brush assembly can adapt to a variety of cleaning scenarios and thus can more effectively handle various types of dirt from fine dust to larger particles. This flexibility allows the floor brush assembly to automatically select the appropriate cleaning mode under different cleaning surface materials and dirt conditions, thereby increasing the scope of application.

[0124] Exemplarily, after confirming that the material of the cleaning surface is carpet, the cleaning device can also detect the type of dirt on the cleaning surface before controlling the adjustment mechanism to be in the first position and waiting for a preset time period, and then adjust the first speed of the floor brush motor according to the detected type of dirt. If the type of dirt detected is the first type of dirt, the first speed is set higher than the original speed of the floor brush motor to provide stronger cleaning power to deal with larger particles. If the type of dirt detected is the second type of dirt, the first speed is set equal to the original speed of the floor brush motor, because smaller particles do not require additional cleaning power.

[0125] Therefore, by identifying the type of dirt in advance and adjusting the speed of the floor brush motor, it can be ensured that the cleaning equipment provides ideal cleaning effects when dealing with different types of dirt, especially when dealing with larger particles, and the speed of the floor brush motor can be increased only when necessary, avoiding unnecessary high-energy consumption operation, improving the overall energy efficiency of the cleaning equipment, and avoiding unnecessary high-load operation, reducing the wear and failure rate of the cleaning equipment, and reducing the frequency of maintenance and replacement, thereby saving long-term use costs.

[0126] Optionally, the method further includes:

[0127] When it is determined that the material of the cleaning surface is not carpet, the floor brush motor is controlled to maintain the original rotation speed to clean the cleaning surface.

[0128] In this step, after confirming that the cleaning surface material is non-carpet, the cleaning device decides not to adjust the speed of the floor brush motor, but to maintain its original speed for cleaning. This is based on the fact that non-carpet materials usually do not require additional cleaning force to deal with particles or dirt, but operating at the original speed is usually sufficient to deal with common dirt on non-carpet materials.

[0129] In this way, after confirming that the cleaning surface material is non-carpet, by maintaining the original rotation speed, unnecessary high energy consumption operation can be avoided, especially when no additional cleaning force is required, thereby improving the overall energy efficiency of the cleaning equipment. In addition, the possibility of entanglement in carpet fibers can be reduced, because for non-carpet materials, excessively high rotation speed may cause wear or damage to the cleaning surface. Maintaining the original rotation speed helps protect the cleaning surface material and extend its service life.

[0130] It is understandable that maintaining the original speed can also avoid unnecessary high-load operation of the floor brush motor.

[0131] Optionally, controlling the regulating mechanism to be in the first position includes:

[0132] The stopper is controlled to be at a preset stopper height to reduce the load of the floor brush motor and the vacuum degree in the floor brush assembly.

[0133] Among them, the height of the block affects the vacuum degree of the floor brush assembly and the load of the floor brush motor.

[0134] In this step, when the control adjustment mechanism is in the first position, the cleaning device adjusts the stopper to a preset stopper height, which is set in advance to meet the cleaning requirements and the height of the vacuum from the cleaning surface, such as Figure 7 As shown in the position height, the embodiment of the present disclosure does not limit the specific numerical value corresponding to the preset block height, and it can be set based on the characteristics of the carpet material or the size of the dirt, etc. In this way, by adjusting the block to be at the preset block height, the cleaning device can reduce the load of the floor brush motor. This is because the height of the block affects the distance between the floor brush assembly and the cleaning surface, and thus affects the vacuum degree inside the floor brush assembly. Appropriate block height can reduce the vacuum degree inside the floor brush assembly, reduce the motor load, and avoid excessive adsorption and unnecessary energy consumption.

[0135] It is understandable that the characteristics of the carpet material may refer to the length of the carpet pile or whether it is a carpet, etc., and the size of the dirt may refer to the diameter or height of the dirt, etc., and the embodiments of the present disclosure do not specifically limit this.

[0136] Therefore, by adjusting the height of the block, the cleaning equipment can provide ideal cleaning effects under different cleaning conditions, especially when it is necessary to reduce the vacuum degree inside the floor brush assembly to avoid damage to the carpet or other materials. By reducing the motor load and vacuum degree, unnecessary energy consumption can be reduced, improving the cleaning effect while reducing the floor brush motor load and overheating risk. In addition, reducing the load of the floor brush motor and the vacuum degree inside the floor brush assembly can also help protect the cleaning surface material and avoid damage caused by excessive adsorption or friction, thereby reducing the frequency of maintenance and replacement and saving costs.

[0137] Optionally, controlling the regulating mechanism to be in the first position includes:

[0138] The air valve is controlled so that the ventilation area of ​​the air inlet is at a preset ventilation area, so as to reduce the load of the floor brush motor and the vacuum degree in the floor brush assembly.

[0139] In this step, when the control adjustment mechanism is in the first position, the cleaning device adjusts the position of the valve so that the ventilation area of ​​the air inlet reaches the preset ventilation area, which is set in advance to meet the cleaning requirements and the ventilation area of ​​the air inlet opened at the vacuum level, such as Figure 8 The opening degree of the air valve shown in the figure, the embodiment of the disclosure does not limit the specific value corresponding to the preset ventilation area, which can be set based on the characteristics of the carpet material or the size of the dirt, so that by adjusting the ventilation area of ​​the air inlet, the cleaning device can control the vacuum degree in the floor brush assembly. Appropriate ventilation area can reduce the load of the floor brush motor and avoid excessive adsorption and unnecessary energy consumption.

[0140] Therefore, by adjusting the ventilation area, the cleaning equipment can provide ideal cleaning effects under different cleaning conditions, especially when it is necessary to reduce the vacuum level inside the floor brush assembly to avoid damage to carpets or other materials. While improving the cleaning effect, it also reduces the load on the floor brush motor and the risk of overheating. In addition, proper vacuum level and load adjustment can also help protect the cleaning surface material and avoid damage caused by excessive adsorption or friction, thereby reducing the frequency of maintenance and replacement and saving costs.

[0141] Optionally, controlling the regulating mechanism to be in the first position includes: controlling the stopper to be at a preset stopper height and controlling the valve so that the ventilation area of ​​the air inlet is at a preset ventilation area to reduce the load of the floor brush motor and the vacuum degree in the floor brush assembly. Exemplarily, controlling the regulating mechanism to be in the first position includes: controlling the stopper to be at a preset stopper height and controlling the valve so that the ventilation area of ​​the air inlet is at a preset ventilation area, so as to reduce the load of the floor brush motor and the vacuum degree in the floor brush assembly. Fig. 9 The position shown is when the stopper is fully raised and the air inlet is fully open.

[0142] It should be noted that the block being at a preset block height may correspond to a position in which the baffle is at least partially raised or fully raised, and the ventilation area of ​​the air inlet being at a preset ventilation area may correspond to a position in which the air inlet is at least partially opened or fully opened.

[0143] It should be understood that the movement of the block and the movement of the valve can be independent of each other or can be associated. Specifically, in the adjustment mechanism, a control mechanism for the block and a control mechanism for the valve can be respectively provided to independently control the height of the block from the cleaning surface (i.e., the height of the dust collecting port) and the ventilation area of ​​the air inlet. In the adjustment mechanism, a control mechanism can also be provided to enable the block and the valve to be linked. For example, in the above embodiment, the control mechanism can be designed to control the linkage of the block and the valve, wherein the movement of the block is first controlled to increase the height of the block relative to the cleaning surface, and after the block moves to the maximum height, the movement of the valve is controlled to increase the ventilation area of ​​the air inlet. Of course, the control mechanism can also be designed to control the linkage of the valve and the block, wherein the movement of the valve is first controlled and then the movement of the block is controlled.

[0144] In some embodiments, the cleaning device continuously monitors the load of the floor brush motor. When the load of the floor brush motor increases to a certain threshold, for example, exceeding 120% of the rated power, the cleaning device can record this state. If this state occurs two or more times in a row, the cleaning device will trigger the corresponding operation, that is, controlling the movement of the block to increase the height of the block relative to the cleaning surface, and controlling the movement of the valve to open the air inlet to reduce the load of the floor brush motor by increasing the air flow. Once the load of the floor brush motor drops to a predetermined lower threshold, for example, less than 120% of the rated power, the valve is controlled to move again to close the air inlet, which means that the floor brush motor has returned to an acceptable load range.

[0145] Among them, the performance of the floor brush motor load is different on carpets of different materials and densities, and accordingly, the positions of the block and the valve are different. For example, on nylon 6 material with a pile height of 30mm (density of 0.275-0.287g / cm 3 ) woven carpet, when the load of the floor brush motor is higher than its rated power, the block is at the preset block height and the position of the valve is the ventilation area of ​​the air inlet is at the position corresponding to the preset ventilation area. 3 ) on a woven carpet, when the load of the floor brush motor is less than 120% of its rated power, the stopper and the valve are usually in the closed position.

[0146] Optionally, detecting the material of the cleaning surface includes determining that the material of the cleaning surface is carpet based on the signal waveform.

[0147] Among them, the signal waveform may include characteristics such as frequency, amplitude, and phase. The signal waveform can reflect the material of the cleaning surface. For example, carpets usually have specific signal waveform characteristics, and the cleaning surface can be determined to be a carpet based on these characteristics. Therefore, by analyzing the characteristics of the signal waveform, the material of the specific cleaning surface can be identified.

[0148] For example, the carpet material may be identified based on the characteristics of the signal waveform, such as a specific light intensity or waveform change.

[0149] Optionally, the signal waveform may also reflect the physical characteristics of the dirt, such as the signal waveform may provide characteristics about the characteristic size, shape and density of the dirt, so by analyzing the characteristics of the signal waveform, the specific type of dirt may be identified.

[0150] It is understandable that the signal waveform provides richer information, making the carpet identification process more accurate. For example, simply comparing the optical information provided by the optical sensor with the threshold value may cause misjudgment, or even fail to distinguish between the first type of dirt and the carpet. Therefore, by analyzing the signal waveform, misjudgment can be reduced and the reliability of identification can be improved. Moreover, the signal waveform analysis can be performed quickly, so that the cleaning device can detect the carpet in real time, and then select the appropriate cleaning method, thereby improving the cleaning effect while avoiding damage to the cleaning surface and extending the service life of the cleaning surface.

[0151] Optionally, the signal waveform is a waveform of an optical signal that changes over time. For example, when a user pushes the floor brush to move on the cleaning surface over time, the optical sensor on the floor brush can detect the cleaning surface condition on the moving path of the floor brush in real time. Specifically, when the signal waveform indicates a continuous change, it is determined that the material of the cleaning surface is carpet.

[0152] In the disclosed embodiments, the optical signal may form a waveform as time changes to reflect the characteristics of the cleaning surface and / or dirt, and the signal waveform may indicate a continuous change, which means that the signal waveform fluctuates around a higher amplitude for a longer period of time. For example, when the light emitted by the transmitter of the optical sensor of the cleaning device scans the carpet, due to the complexity of the carpet fibers, the intensity of the light received by the optical sensor will produce continuous fluctuations as the optical sensor on the floor brush moves, which is manifested as a continuous ups and downs change in the waveform, thereby forming a regular fluctuation pattern.

[0153] In this way, by analyzing the continuously changing characteristics of the waveform, the cleaning equipment can quickly and accurately identify that the material of the cleaning surface is carpet, thereby improving cleaning efficiency, and the cleaning equipment can analyze and respond to the signal waveform in real time, thereby ensuring that it can quickly adapt to environmental changes during the cleaning process and provide instant cleaning adjustments. In addition, by identifying special materials such as carpets, the cleaning equipment can select appropriate cleaning methods and avoid using cleaning strategies that may damage the cleaning surface, thereby extending the service life of the cleaning surface.

[0154] Therefore, based on the design of the above method for cleaning equipment, unnecessary speed adjustment of the floor brush motor can be avoided while protecting the cleaning surface being cleaned, and redundant design requirements for parameters such as speed or power of the floor brush motor can be reduced.

[0155] In the foregoing embodiments, the method for cleaning equipment provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure is introduced, and in order to realize the various functions in the method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, the cleaning equipment as the execution subject may include a hardware structure and / or a software module, and the above functions are realized in the form of a hardware structure, a software module, or a hardware structure plus a software module. Whether a certain function of the above functions is executed in the form of a hardware structure, a software module, or a hardware structure plus a software module depends on the specific application and design constraints of the technical solution.
