Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of cleaning devices, and particularly to a control method for a cleaning device, a cleaning device, and a computer-readable storage medium. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous development of intelligent appliances, people's demand for efficient and convenient cleaning tools is becoming increasingly strong. For example, for cleaning devices such as cleaning brushes, people's requirements are no longer limited to a simple cleaning brush, but there are more demand points: no oil sticking to hands, high cleaning efficiency, long battery life, etc.

[0003] Electric cleaning brushes are widely used in the fields of household, industrial, and commercial cleaning. However, electric cleaning brushes have problems such as short battery life, high charging frequency, and low cleaning efficiency. To solve the above problems, the battery life is mainly extended by optimizing the battery capacity or reducing the power consumption. However, increasing the battery capacity will cause the volume and weight of the device to increase, and reducing the power consumption may affect the cleaning effect. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides a control method for a cleaning device, a cleaning device, and a computer-readable storage medium to solve the problems of short battery life, high charging frequency, and low cleaning efficiency of the cleaning device.

[0005] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a control method for a cleaning device, including:

[0006] Obtaining kinetic energy usage information of the cleaning device;

[0007] If the kinetic energy usage of the cleaning device decreases, controlling a kinetic energy recovery structure to recover the excess kinetic energy and convert it into electrical energy to be stored in the battery.

[0008] Beneficial effects: When the kinetic energy usage of the cleaning device decreases, excess kinetic energy will be generated during the decrease process. Controlling the kinetic energy recovery structure to recover this part of the excess kinetic energy and convert it into electrical energy to be stored in the battery can greatly improve the battery life of the battery, reduce the charging frequency, and extend the battery life. There is no need to reduce the power consumption to extend the battery life, ensuring a good cleaning effect. And by using the kinetic energy recovery structure to recover the excess kinetic energy, there is no need to increase the battery capacity, and the volume and weight of the cleaning device will not increase.

[0009] In an optional embodiment, the obtaining of the kinetic energy usage information of the cleaning device includes:

[0010] Obtaining gear shifting information of the cleaning device.

[0011] Beneficial effects: When the cleaning device is used at different gears, the amount of kinetic energy used is different. Therefore, by obtaining the gear switching information of the cleaning device, the kinetic energy usage information of the cleaning device can be better understood.

[0012] In an alternative embodiment, the case where the kinetic energy usage of the cleaning device decreases includes:

[0013] The cleaning gear of the cleaning device is lowered.

[0014] Beneficial effects: When the cleaning gear of the cleaning device is lowered, during the process of switching between two gears, the kinetic energy usage decreases, resulting in excess kinetic energy. The kinetic energy recovery structure is controlled to recover this part of the excess kinetic energy and convert it into electrical energy to be stored in the battery, greatly improving the battery's endurance, reducing the charging frequency, and extending the battery life.

[0015] In an alternative embodiment, the case where the kinetic energy usage of the cleaning device decreases includes:

[0016] The cleaning device switches from the working state to a paused or stopped operation.

[0017] Beneficial effects: When the cleaning device switches from the working state to a paused or stopped operation, during the switching process, the kinetic energy usage decreases, resulting in excess kinetic energy. The kinetic energy recovery structure is controlled to recover this part of the excess kinetic energy and convert it into electrical energy to be stored in the battery, greatly improving the battery's endurance, reducing the charging frequency, and extending the battery life.

Different cleaning information matches different cleaning gears. If the currently used gear is consistent with the matched cleaning gear, continue to use this gear for cleaning; if the currently used gear is inconsistent with the matched cleaning gear, a flexible gear prompt can be provided for the user to prompt the user to switch to a suitable gear, so that the user can select a suitable gear to use different kinetic energies to clean the object to be cleaned with different cleaning information, which can not only avoid the waste of kinetic energy caused by improper matching of the cleaning gear, but also obtain a better cleaning effect.

By obtaining the surface roughness of the object to be cleaned, the degree of dirt or cleaning difficulty of the object to be cleaned can be more directly displayed, and the cleaning gear of the cleaning device can be better matched.

[0026] In an alternative embodiment, the obtaining of the cleaning gear of the cleaning device according to the cleaning information includes:

[0027] When the surface roughness is less than a first preset value, the cleaning gear of the cleaning device is the first gear;

[0028] When the surface roughness is greater than or equal to the first preset value and less than a second preset value, the cleaning gear of the cleaning device is the second gear;

[0029] When the surface roughness is greater than or equal to the second preset value and less than a third preset value, the cleaning gear of the cleaning device is the third gear.

[0054] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Apparently, the described embodiments are some but not all of the embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0055] The following combines Figures 1 to 10 , and describes the embodiments of the present invention.

[0057] S1. Obtain the kinetic energy usage information of the cleaning device.

[0058] S2. If the kinetic energy usage of the cleaning device decreases, control the kinetic energy recovery structure 3 to recover the excess kinetic energy and convert it into electric energy to be stored in the battery 2.

[0059] When the kinetic energy usage of the cleaning device decreases, excess kinetic energy will be generated during the decrease process. Control the kinetic energy recovery structure 3 to recover this part of the excess kinetic energy and convert it into electric energy to be stored in the battery 2, which greatly improves the battery life of the battery 2, reduces the charging frequency, and prolongs the life of the battery 2. There is no need to reduce the power consumption to extend the battery life, ensuring a good cleaning effect. And by recovering the excess kinetic energy through the kinetic energy recovery structure 3, there is no need to increase the battery capacity of the battery 2, and the volume and weight of the cleaning device will not increase.

[0060] In one embodiment, obtaining the kinetic energy usage information of the cleaning device includes:

[0061] S11. Obtain the gear shifting information of the cleaning device.

[0062] When the cleaning device is used in different gears, the amount of kinetic energy used is different. Therefore, obtaining the gear shifting information of the cleaning device can better obtain the kinetic energy usage information of the cleaning device.

[0063] As a variant embodiment, it can also be that the kinetic energy usage information of the cleaning device can also be obtained by monitoring the power condition of the drive structure of the cleaning device. For example, for a cleaning brush, the drive structure drives the brush head of the cleaning brush to rotate for cleaning. At this time, the kinetic energy usage information of the cleaning device can be shown by monitoring the power condition of the drive structure that drives the brush head of the cleaning brush. Preferably, the kinetic energy usage information is shown by the rotational speed of the power output shaft of the drive structure.

[0064] In one embodiment, if the kinetic energy usage of the cleaning device decreases, it includes:

[0065] S211. The cleaning gear of the cleaning device is lowered.

[0066] When the cleaning gear of the cleaning device is lowered, during the process of the cleaning device switching between two gears, the kinetic energy usage decreases, and excess kinetic energy will be generated. Control the kinetic energy recovery structure 3 to recover this part of the excess kinetic energy and convert it into electrical energy to be stored in the battery 2, greatly improving the battery life of the battery 2, reducing the charging frequency, and extending the life of the battery 2.

[0067] In one embodiment, if the kinetic energy usage of the cleaning device decreases, it includes:

[0068] S212. The cleaning device changes from the working state to a paused or stopped operation.

[0069] When the cleaning device changes from the working state to a paused or stopped operation, during the switching process, the kinetic energy usage of the cleaning device decreases, and excess kinetic energy will be generated. Control the kinetic energy recovery structure 3 to recover this part of the excess kinetic energy and convert it into electrical energy to be stored in the battery 2, greatly improving the battery life of the battery 2, reducing the charging frequency, and extending the life of the battery 2.

[0070] In one embodiment, obtaining the gear shifting information of the cleaning device includes:

[0071] S111. Obtain the information to be cleaned of the object to be cleaned;

[0072] S112. Obtain the cleaning gear of the cleaning device according to the information to be cleaned;

[0073] S113. If the current gear is not consistent with the cleaning gear, prompt the user to switch to the cleaning gear.

[0074] According to the cleaning information of the object to be cleaned, match the cleaning gear of the cleaning device. Different cleaning information matches different cleaning gears. If the currently used gear is consistent with the matched cleaning gear, continue to use this gear for cleaning; if the currently used gear is not consistent with the matched cleaning gear, a flexible gear prompt can be provided for the user to prompt the user to switch to a suitable gear, so that the user can select a suitable gear to use different kinetic energies to clean the object to be cleaned with different cleaning information, which can not only avoid the waste of kinetic energy caused by the mismatch of the cleaning gear, but also obtain a better cleaning effect.

[0075] In a specific implementation manner, when the cleaning information of the object to be cleaned is relatively complex, prompt the user to select a high gear for cleaning; when the cleaning information of the object to be cleaned is relatively simple, prompt the user to select a low gear for cleaning.

[0076] As a variable implementation manner, it can also be that the obtaining of the gear switching information of the cleaning device includes: obtaining the cleaning information of the object to be cleaned; obtaining the cleaning gear of the cleaning device according to the cleaning information; if the current gear is not consistent with the cleaning gear, control the cleaning device to automatically switch the cleaning gear.

[0077] In one embodiment, the obtaining of the cleaning information of the object to be cleaned includes:

[0078] S1111. Obtain the surface roughness of the object to be cleaned.

[0079] The surface roughness of different objects to be cleaned is different. By obtaining the surface roughness of the object to be cleaned, the degree of dirt or cleaning difficulty of the object to be cleaned can be more directly displayed, and the cleaning gear of the cleaning device can be better matched.

[0080] As a variable implementation manner, it can also be that the obtaining of the cleaning information of the object to be cleaned includes: obtaining the degree of dirt of the stains on the object to be cleaned.

[0081] As a variable implementation manner, it can also be that the obtaining of the cleaning information of the object to be cleaned includes: obtaining the degree of dirt of the dust on the object to be cleaned.

[0082] In one embodiment, the obtaining of the cleaning gear of the cleaning device according to the cleaning information includes:

[0083] S1121. When the surface roughness is less than the first preset value, the cleaning gear of the cleaning device is the first gear;

[0084] S1122. When the surface roughness is greater than or equal to the first preset value and less than the second preset value, the cleaning gear of the cleaning device is the second gear;

[0085] S1123. When the surface roughness is greater than or equal to the second preset value and less than the third preset value, the cleaning gear of the cleaning device is the third gear.

[0086] When the surface roughness is less than the first preset value, the surface roughness is in the first threshold range; when the surface roughness is greater than or equal to the first preset value and less than the second preset value, the surface roughness is in the second threshold range; when the surface roughness is greater than or equal to the second preset value and less than the third preset value, the surface roughness is in the third threshold range; the surface roughness of the first threshold range, the second threshold range and the third threshold range increases. Therefore, the cleaning kinetic energy provided by the first gear, the second gear and the third gear matched by the cleaning device in sequence also increases in sequence, so as to better clean the objects to be cleaned with different surface roughnesses respectively.

[0087] In a further embodiment, when the surface roughness is greater than the third preset value, the cleaning device can select the third gear or match a higher gear.

[0088] According to an embodiment of the present invention, on the other hand, a cleaning device is further provided, including a body 1, a battery 2, a kinetic energy recovery structure 3 and a controller; the battery 2 is arranged on the body 1; the kinetic energy recovery structure 3 is arranged on the body 1 and is electrically connected to the battery 2; the controller is arranged on the body 1 and is communicatively connected to the battery 2 and the kinetic energy recovery structure 3 for executing the control method of the above-mentioned cleaning device.

[0089] The controller executes the control method of the above-mentioned cleaning device and has all the technical effects of the control method of the above-mentioned cleaning device.

[0090] The control method of the cleaning device includes:

[0091] S1. Obtain the kinetic energy usage information of the cleaning device.

[0092] S2. If the kinetic energy usage of the cleaning device decreases, control the kinetic energy recovery structure 3 to recover the excess kinetic energy and convert it into electric energy to be stored in the battery 2.

[0093] When the kinetic energy utilization of the cleaning device decreases, excess kinetic energy is generated during the decrease. The kinetic energy recovery structure 3 is controlled to recover this part of the excess kinetic energy and convert it into electrical energy to be stored in the battery 2, greatly improving the battery life of the battery 2, reducing the charging frequency, and extending the life of the battery 2. There is no need to reduce power consumption to extend the battery life, ensuring a good cleaning effect. And by recovering the excess kinetic energy through the kinetic energy recovery structure 3, there is no need to increase the capacity of the battery 2, and the volume and weight of the cleaning device will not increase.

[0094] In one embodiment, the cleaning device further includes a roughness sensing structure, which is disposed on the body 1 and communicatively connected to the controller.

[0095] The roughness sensing structure can obtain the surface roughness of the object to be cleaned. The surface roughness of different objects to be cleaned is different. By obtaining the surface roughness of the object to be cleaned, the degree of dirt or cleaning difficulty of the object to be cleaned can be more directly shown, and the cleaning gear of the cleaning device can be better matched.

[0096] In one embodiment, the cleaning device is a cleaning brush. As Figure 10 shown.

[0097] In a specific embodiment, the body 1 includes a machine head 11 and a control handle 12, and a control button 13 is provided on the control handle 12. The cleaning brush further includes parts such as a brush head device and a driving motor. The brush head device includes a sponge brush head, a small flat head brush, a scouring pad brush head, and a brush head adapter 4. Different brush heads can be used to meet different scenario requirements; the battery 2 of the cleaning brush is a rechargeable battery 2, which can be charged and store the electrical energy converted by the kinetic energy recovery structure 3; the driving motor can be a micro motor, located at the rotating shaft of the cleaning brush, for driving the brush head to move and cooperating with the kinetic energy recovery structure 3 to convert the excess kinetic energy into electrical energy for storage; the driving motor can be an integrated motor, which can not only drive the brush head to rotate, but also recover the excess kinetic energy and convert it into electrical energy for storage in the battery 2; the roughness sensing structure is placed in the brush head adapter 4 to facilitate real-time collection and detection of the surface roughness of different objects; the controller mainly plays the role of controlling the program and analyzing data, and generates a switching prompt for the cleaning gear according to the preset threshold range.

[0098] Specifically, the control method of the cleaning device in this embodiment includes the following steps: Before starting the cleaning brush, first install the brush head required by the user. After the cleaning brush starts running, the roughness sensing structure on the brush head starts to detect data. When the brush head is placed on the surface to be cleaned of an object, the roughness sensing structure feeds back the data X of the surface roughness of the object quickly collected to the controller (the processor on the main board). When the detected data 0 < X < L1, where L1 is the first preset value, the display panel of the cleaning brush prompts the user to use the first gear cleaning mode; subsequently, the roughness sensing structure continues to be in the standby operation mode. When the cleaning brush changes the working scenario, the roughness sensing structure continues to detect and feed back data. When the detected data L1 ≤ X < L2, where L2 is the second preset value, the display panel prompts the user to use the second gear cleaning mode; the roughness sensing structure continues to detect data in real time. When the detected data L2 ≤ X < L3, where L3 is the third preset value, the display panel prompts the user to use the third gear cleaning mode. At the same time, the kinetic energy recovery structure 3 is also operating. When the detected surface roughness is in the first threshold range and it is prompted to use the first gear, and the current used gear is higher than the first gear, the user switches to the first gear according to the prompt, and the excess kinetic energy is converted into storable electrical energy through the kinetic energy recovery structure 3 built in the cleaning brush, and then the electrical energy is stored in the battery 2; when the detected surface roughness is in other thresholds, and so on. Through the mutual conversion of electrical energy and kinetic energy, the battery life of the cleaning brush can be extended, the charging frequency can be reduced, and at the same time, the cleaning effect and energy recovery efficiency can be ensured.

[0099] Further, taking the surface roughness Ra of the object as an example.

[0100] When the surface of the object is relatively smooth, when L1 = 30 μm, the first threshold range is 0 μm < X < 30 μm, and the display panel of the cleaning brush prompts the user to use the first gear cleaning mode.

[0101] When there is a certain friction on the surface of the object, L2 = 150 μm, and the second threshold range is 30 μm ≤ X < 150 μm, and the display panel of the cleaning brush prompts the user to use the second gear cleaning mode;

[0102] When the surface of the object is relatively rough, L3 = 500 μm, and the third threshold range is 150 μm ≤ X < 500 μm, and the display panel of the cleaning brush prompts the user to use the third gear cleaning mode.

[0103] According to an embodiment of the present invention, on the other hand, there is also provided a computer-readable storage medium storing computer instructions, and when the computer instructions are executed, the above control method of the cleaning device is implemented.

[0104] The computer-readable storage medium provided by the present invention, by adopting the control method of the cleaning device in the above-mentioned implementation method, has all the technical effects of the control method of the cleaning device.

[0105] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and such modifications and variations all fall within the scope defined by this application.
