Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of cleaning equipment technology, and more specifically, to a method, apparatus, medium, and electronic equipment for controlling the cleaning of a base station's cleaning cloth. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing popularity of smart cleaning equipment (such as robotic vacuum cleaners and robot vacuums / mops), cleaning efficiency and user experience have become the core of product competition. Existing cleaning equipment is equipped with a cleaning base station, which provides auxiliary functions such as charging and cleaning cloths for the cleaning equipment.

[0003] When the cleaning equipment's cloths become dirty, they need to be washed at the base station before subsequent cleaning tasks can be performed. However, existing base stations often clean the cleaning equipment's cloths according to fixed cleaning power or cleaning time settings. On the one hand, this prevents the cleaning process from stopping when the heavily soiled cloths are cleaned, and on the other hand, it fails to improve the cleaning efficiency of lightly soiled cloths. As a result, cloths that have already been cleaned are still over-washed, wasting cleaning resources.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to propose an efficient method for cleaning cloths to solve the current technical problem of low cleaning efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this application is to provide a method, apparatus, medium, and electronic device for controlling the cleaning of a base station's cleaning cloth, which can solve at least one of the aforementioned technical problems. The specific solution is as follows:

[0009] When the cleaning device is detected to have returned to the base station within a preset time, a second cloth cleaning strategy is provided to clean the cloth. The second cloth cleaning strategy includes at least one of the following: a second water output, a second cleaning duration, and a second cleaning intensity.

[0010] Wherein, at least one of the second water output, the second cleaning duration, and the second cleaning intensity is not less than at least one of the corresponding first water output, the first cleaning duration, and the first cleaning intensity;

[0011] If the cleaning device is not detected to return to the base station within a preset time, the pre-configured first cloth cleaning strategy is deleted.

[0012] In some embodiments, the cloth soiling information includes: soiling levels classified according to the degree of soiling of the cloth, wherein the soiling levels include multiple levels with progressively increasing soiling levels.

[0014] When the level of dirt is the highest, the second water output, the second cleaning time, and the second cleaning intensity are respectively greater than the corresponding first water output, first cleaning time, and first cleaning intensity;

[0015] When the level of dirt is between the lowest and the highest, at least two of the second water output, the second cleaning duration, and the second cleaning intensity are greater than at least two of the corresponding first water output, the first cleaning duration, and the first cleaning intensity.

[0016] In some embodiments, the cloth soiling information is the cloth soiling information determined by the cleaning device after self-detection of the cloth by a self-detection sensor.

[0017] In some embodiments, the cleaning device uses a self-detection sensor to determine the dirt information of the cleaning cloth after self-detection, including:

[0018] The cleaning equipment determines the dirt information of the cloth by emitting visible light and / or infrared light to the cloth and then receiving the reflected light based on the reflectivity or reflection spectrum of the reflected light.

[0019] In some embodiments, the cloth soiling information includes the location information of heavy stains;

[0020] The second cloth cleaning strategy further includes performing at least one of the following based on the location information of the heavily soiled stains:

[0021] Increase the second water flow rate by targeting the location of the heavily soiled area;

[0022] Increase the cleaning time for the heavily soiled areas;

[0023] Increase the second cleaning intensity by targeting the heavily soiled areas.

[0024] In some embodiments, the cloth soiling information is the cloth soiling information determined by the cleaning device through map information in the travel path.

[0025] In some embodiments, the cleaning device determines the rag soiling information through map information along its travel path, including:

[0026] The map information includes areas marked as heavily polluted, and the cleaning equipment passes through these heavily polluted areas;

[0027] The current soiling information of the rag is determined based on the historical soiling information of the rag after cleaning the heavily soiled area.

[0028] In some embodiments, the cloth soiling information is cloth soiling information determined by the cleaning device through a cleaning strategy along its travel path.

[0029] In some embodiments, the cleaning device determines the cloth soiling information through a cleaning strategy along its travel path, including:

[0030] After the cleaning equipment performs a heavy-duty cleaning strategy in its travel path, it determines the dirt information of the rag. The heavy-duty cleaning strategy includes at least one of the following: increasing cleaning power, local reciprocating cleaning, and increasing water output.

[0032] The acquisition unit is used to acquire information about the dirtiness of the cleaning cloth of the cleaning device when a request to return to the base station is detected from the cleaning device;

[0041] Compared with the prior art, the above-described solutions of this application have at least the following beneficial effects:

[0042] This application proposes a method for controlling the cleaning of a base station's cleaning cloth. When the base station detects a request from a cleaning device returning to the base station, it first obtains information about the dirtiness of the cleaning cloth. Then, based on this information, it pre-configures a first cleaning strategy for the cleaning cloth, avoiding the need to pre-configure the strategy only after the cleaning device arrives at the base station, thus saving cleaning time. When the cleaning device returns to the base station within a preset time, the base station provides a second cleaning strategy based on the pre-configured first cleaning strategy to clean the cloth. In this second cleaning strategy, the actual cleaning strategy is used, and at least one of the second water output, second cleaning duration, and second cleaning intensity in the second cleaning strategy is not less than at least one of the corresponding first water output, first cleaning duration, and first cleaning intensity to ensure sufficient cleaning effect. When the cleaning device does not return to the base station within the preset time, the base station deletes the pre-configured first cleaning strategy to release base station resources and prepare for the next pre-configuration of the first cleaning strategy.

[0049] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0050] The terminology used in the embodiments of this application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the application. The singular forms “a,” “said,” and “the” used in the embodiments of this application and the appended claims are also intended to include the plural forms, and “multiple” generally includes at least two unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

[0051] It should be understood that the term "and / or" used in this article is merely a description of the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A existing alone, A and B existing simultaneously, and B existing alone. Additionally, the character " / " in this article generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects have an "or" relationship.

[0052] It should be understood that although the terms first, second, third, etc., may be used in the embodiments of this application, these descriptions should not be limited to these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish the descriptions. For example, first may also be referred to as second without departing from the scope of the embodiments of this application, and similarly, second may also be referred to as first.

[0053] It should also be noted that the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that an article or device that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such an article or device. Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the article or device that includes said element.

[0054] When the cleaning equipment's cloths become soiled, they need to be washed at the base station before subsequent cleaning tasks can be performed. However, existing base stations often wash the cleaning equipment's cloths based on fixed washing power or duration after the equipment returns to the base station. This prevents the base station from washing the cloths according to their degree of soiling, resulting in inaccurate cleaning.

[0055] Based on this, this application proposes a method for controlling the cleaning of a base station's cleaning cloth, comprising: when a request for a cleaning device to return to the base station is detected, obtaining information on the dirtiness of the cleaning device's cleaning cloth; pre-configuring a first cleaning strategy based on the cleaning cloth dirtiness information, the first cleaning strategy including at least one of the following: a first water output, a first cleaning duration, and a first cleaning intensity; when the cleaning device is detected to return to the base station within a preset time, providing a second cleaning strategy to clean the cleaning cloth, the second cleaning strategy including at least one of the following: a second water output, a second cleaning duration, and a second cleaning intensity; wherein at least one of the second water output, the second cleaning duration, and the second cleaning intensity is not less than at least one of the corresponding first water output, the first cleaning duration, and the first cleaning intensity; when the cleaning device is not detected to return to the base station within the preset time, deleting the pre-configured first cleaning strategy.

[0056] As can be seen, the base station cloth cleaning control method proposed in this application, when the base station detects a request from the cleaning device to return to the base station, pre-obtains the cloth soiling information of the cleaning device, and then pre-configures a first cloth cleaning strategy based on the cloth soiling information. This avoids configuring the first cloth cleaning strategy after the cleaning device arrives at the base station, saving cleaning time. When the cleaning device is detected to have returned to the base station within a preset time, the base station will provide a second cloth cleaning strategy based on the pre-configured first cloth cleaning strategy to clean the cloth. At this time, the second cloth cleaning strategy is the actual cleaning strategy, and at least one of the second water output, second cleaning duration, and second cleaning intensity in the second cloth cleaning strategy is not less than at least one of the corresponding first water output, first cleaning duration, and first cleaning intensity to ensure sufficient cleaning effect. When the cleaning device is not detected to have returned to the base station within the preset time, it indicates that the cleaning device may be performing a new cleaning task. The base station will delete the pre-configured first cloth cleaning strategy to release base station resources and prepare for the next pre-configuration of the first cloth cleaning strategy.

[0057] The specific embodiments of this application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0058] like Figure 1 As shown, this application proposes a control method for a mobile robot, including the following steps:

[0059] Step S101: When a request from the cleaning device to return to the base station is detected, obtain the dirt information of the cleaning device's rag;

[0060] Step S103: Based on the cloth dirt information, pre-configure a first cloth cleaning strategy, the first cloth cleaning strategy including at least one of the following: first water output, first cleaning duration, and first cleaning intensity;

[0061] Step S105: When the cleaning device is detected to have returned to the base station within a preset time, a second cloth cleaning strategy is provided to clean the cloth. The second cloth cleaning strategy includes at least one of the following: a second water output, a second cleaning duration, and a second cleaning intensity.

[0062] Wherein, at least one of the second water output, the second cleaning duration, and the second cleaning intensity is not less than at least one of the corresponding first water output, the first cleaning duration, and the first cleaning intensity;

[0063] Step S107: If the cleaning device is not detected to return to the base station within a preset time, delete the pre-configured first cloth cleaning strategy.

[0064] In step S101, during or after performing a cleaning task, the cleaning device needs to return to the base station for charging, dust collection, or cleaning of the cleaning cloth. At this time, the cleaning device sends a homing signal to establish a signal connection with the base station and determine their relative positions. The cleaning device then returns to the base station based on this established position. Therefore, in this step, after establishing a signal connection with the base station, the cleaning device sends information about the cleaning cloth's dirtiness to the base station. That is, when the base station detects the cleaning device's request to return to the base station, it obtains the cleaning cloth's dirtiness information.

[0065] In some embodiments, the cloth soiling information includes: soiling levels categorized according to the degree of soiling, wherein the soiling levels include multiple grades with progressively increasing soiling levels. Optionally, the cloth soiling information may further include location information of heavy stains.

[0066] The multiple levels of soiling, which increase sequentially, include at least two levels. For example, they may include level one, level two, and level three, which are not limited to these. The location information of heavy stains includes the specific location of the heavy stain on the entire cloth, such as the edge or center of a flat cloth. The location coordinates of the heavy stain can be determined based on the position coordinates relative to the cleaning equipment, such as the left, middle, or right side of a roller cloth.

[0067] In some embodiments, the cloth soiling information is the cloth soiling information determined by the cleaning device after self-detection of the cloth by a self-detection sensor. For example, the cloth soiling information determined by the cleaning device after self-detection of the cloth by the self-detection sensor includes: the cleaning device emitting visible light and / or infrared light to the cloth, then receiving the reflected light, and determining the cloth soiling information based on the reflectivity or reflection spectrum of the reflected light.

[0068] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2-3As shown, the cleaning assembly includes a cloth 2 and a dirt detection mechanism 3. The dirt detection mechanism 3 is used to detect dirt on the cloth 2. The dirt detection mechanism 3 includes a PCB board 31 and at least one diode group 32 disposed on the PCB board 31. Each diode group 32 includes one emitting diode 321 and two receiving diodes 322. The two receiving diodes 322 are disposed at intervals on both sides of the emitting diode 321. The emitting diode 321 can emit visible light and / or infrared light. The emitting diode 321 is used to emit a detection signal to the surface of the cloth 2. The receiving diodes 322 are used to receive the reflected signal after being reflected by the surface of the cloth 2. The degree of dirt and the location of dirt on the cloth 2 can be determined according to the waveform of the reflected signal. For example, the deeper the waveform depression, the higher the degree of dirt.

[0069] Specifically, the PCB board 31 is equipped with a microprocessor unit, signal conversion circuit, amplification and filtering circuit, analog-to-digital conversion circuit, counter, and other circuit structures. The on / off timing of the emitting LEDs is controlled by the microprocessor unit. The receiving LEDs can be a single monochromatic LED in an unbiased or reverse-biased state, or one or more multi-color LEDs. Their photoelectric signals are converted into current, voltage, and time signals by the signal conversion circuit. For the converted current and voltage signals, the weak signals are first amplified and noise filtered by the amplification and filtering circuit, and then converted into digital signals that the microprocessor can process by the analog-to-digital conversion circuit. For the converted time signals, they are first converted into digital signals that the microprocessor can process by the counter. The microprocessor further processes the collected signals and outputs the current soiling status of the rag. The microprocessor unit, signal conversion circuit, amplification and filtering circuit, analog-to-digital conversion circuit, counter, and other circuit structures are all structures and working principles known to those skilled in the art, and are all prior art, which will not be described in detail here.

[0070] More specifically, 31 RGB LEDs are used as the transmitters, with the MCU controlling only one RGB LED to light up at a time, emitting one of the three colors. Experiments have shown that red LEDs are sensitive to both RGB light; therefore, this application can use 64 parallel red LEDs (two red LEDs arranged on either side of each RGB LED) without bias voltage as the receivers. A transimpedance amplifier (TIA) converts the photocurrent into a voltage signal. To reduce the influence of AC mains power on the detection signal, the voltage signal converted by the TIA is fed into a dual-T network notch filter with a center frequency of 50Hz. After filtering, the signal is further amplified by a differential amplifier and then fed into the ADC on the MCU. The MCU reads and processes the ADC output signal, combining it with the currently lit RGB LED number and color to calculate the level of dirt in a specific detection area. This allows the determination of the location of the currently detected stain on the cloth.

[0071] In some embodiments, the cloth soiling information is cloth soiling information determined by the cleaning device through map information in the travel path. For example, the cloth soiling information determined by the cleaning device through map information in the travel path includes: the map information includes areas marked as heavily soiled, and the cleaning device passes through the heavily soiled areas; and the current cloth soiling information is determined based on historical cloth soiling information after cleaning the heavily soiled areas.

[0072] For example, in the cleaning map of the cleaning equipment, certain areas or locations can be automatically or manually marked as heavily soiled areas, such as the kitchen, the entrance to the living room, and the area around the dining table. These areas have already been cleaned in the current cleaning task. In this case, the soiling information of the cleaning cloth can be determined by historical soiling information. For example, the average soiling increment formed after previous cleaning tasks in this area can be used as the current soiling information of the cleaning cloth and fed back to the base station. This reduces the need for soiling detection by the cleaning equipment hardware.

[0073] In some embodiments, the cloth soiling information is cloth soiling information determined by the cleaning device through a cleaning strategy along its travel path. For example, the cloth soiling information determined by the cleaning device through a cleaning strategy along its travel path includes: the cleaning device determining the cloth soiling information after performing a heavy-duty cleaning strategy along its travel path, wherein performing the heavy-duty cleaning strategy includes at least one of the following: increasing cleaning power, localized reciprocating cleaning, and increasing water output.

[0074] For example, when cleaning areas that become suddenly soiled, such as dried stains, pet feces, or spilled food along the path, the cleaning equipment can intelligently determine that the soiling is heavy using sensors such as cameras. It will then execute a heavy-soil cleaning strategy, including at least one of the following: increasing cleaning power, localized reciprocating cleaning, or increasing water output. This may also cause the cloth to become soiled, either partially or entirely. In this case, the cleaning robot can intelligently determine whether a rewash is needed. If a rewash is required, it will report the soiling information to the base station, allowing the base station to accurately obtain the soiling information and perform precise cleaning.

[0075] In step S103, after the base station obtains the dirt information of the cleaning equipment's rag, it pre-configures a first rag cleaning strategy based on the rag cleaning needs and the characteristics of the rag dirt information. This pre-configured first rag cleaning strategy is an estimated cleaning strategy. Since the rag dirt information obtained in step 101 may not be completely accurate, and to improve cleaning efficiency, the base station needs to provide a first rag cleaning strategy that matches the estimated rag dirt information. The first rag cleaning strategy can reduce computing power, save time, and improve configuration efficiency for setting the actual second rag cleaning strategy later. For example, the first rag cleaning strategy includes at least one of the following: a first water output, a first cleaning duration, and a first cleaning intensity. That is, the first water output, the first cleaning duration, and the first cleaning intensity are pre-set according to the degree of rag dirt. Among them, the water output can be set in stages based on the clean water flow rate, the cleaning duration can be increased in increments of 10 seconds, and the cleaning intensity can be set in stages by controlling the speed of the base station's cleaning tank scraper; no specific limitation is made in these aspects. In summary, the larger the water flow, the better the cleaning effect; the longer the cleaning time, the better the cleaning effect; and the stronger the cleaning intensity, the better the cleaning effect.

[0076] In step S105, as described above, after the cleaning device establishes contact with the base station, it needs a certain period of time to travel to the base station. When the base station detects that the cleaning device has returned to the base station within a preset time, it provides a second cloth cleaning strategy to clean the cloth. That is, when the cleaning device returns to the base station, the base station will immediately provide a second cloth cleaning strategy to clean the cloth. The second cloth cleaning strategy is set based on the first cloth cleaning strategy. Since the first cloth cleaning strategy has been pre-matched, it is only necessary to ensure that the parameters of the second cloth cleaning strategy are not less than the parameters of the first cloth cleaning strategy. Due to the reduced computing power, the time for configuring the second cloth cleaning strategy is greatly shortened, and the efficiency of cleaning the cloth is greatly improved. Especially for cases where the cleaning task needs to be performed again after cleaning the cloth, this setting method can greatly improve the cleaning efficiency. It can be understood that the second cloth cleaning strategy includes at least one of the following: a second water output, a second cleaning duration, and a second cleaning intensity. Wherein, at least one of the second water output, the second cleaning duration, and the second cleaning intensity is not less than at least one of the corresponding first water output, the first cleaning duration, and the first cleaning intensity.

[0077] In some embodiments, when the level of soiling is lowest, one of the second water output, the second cleaning duration, and the second cleaning intensity is greater than one of the corresponding first water output, the first cleaning duration, and the first cleaning intensity. That is, the second cloth cleaning strategy is configured to be at least one of the following: the second water output is greater than the first water output, the second cleaning duration is greater than the first cleaning duration, and the second cleaning intensity is greater than the first cleaning intensity.

[0078] When the level of dirt is highest, the second water output, the second cleaning duration, and the second cleaning intensity are respectively greater than the corresponding first water output, first cleaning duration, and first cleaning intensity. That is, the second cloth cleaning strategy is configured as follows: the second water output is greater than the first water output, the second cleaning duration is greater than the first cleaning duration, and the second cleaning intensity is greater than the first cleaning intensity.

[0079] When the level of soiling is between the lowest and highest, at least two of the second water output, the second cleaning duration, and the second cleaning intensity are greater than at least two of the corresponding first water output, the first cleaning duration, and the first cleaning intensity. That is, the second cloth cleaning strategy is configured to satisfy at least two of the following conditions: the second water output is greater than the first water output, the second cleaning duration is greater than the first cleaning duration, and the second cleaning intensity is greater than the first cleaning intensity.

[0080] In some embodiments, the cloth soiling information includes location information of heavy stains; the second cloth cleaning strategy further includes: performing at least one of the following based on the location information of the heavy stains: increasing the second water output at the location of the heavy stains; increasing the second cleaning duration at the location of the heavy stains; increasing the second cleaning intensity at the location of the heavy stains.

[0081] According to the aforementioned embodiments, the location information of heavily soiled areas can be obtained. In order to accurately and efficiently clean the cloth, the water outlet can be aimed at the location of the heavily soiled area to increase the second water flow rate; the water outlet or scraper can be aimed at the location of the heavily soiled area to increase the second cleaning time; or the scraper can be aimed at the location of the heavily soiled area to increase the second cleaning intensity. This allows for targeted cleaning of heavily soiled areas of the cloth, while reducing the cleaning strategy for non-heavily soiled areas, further improving the cleaning efficiency of the cloth.

[0082] In step S107, if the base station does not detect the cleaning device returning to the base station within a preset time, it indicates that the cleaning device, after establishing contact with the base station, has interrupted its need to return to the base station to clean the rag. At this time, the base station will delete the pre-configured first rag cleaning strategy to release base station storage or computing resources, preparing for the next pre-configuration of the first rag cleaning strategy. The first rag cleaning strategy will be re-configured only after the base station receives another request from the cleaning device to return and obtains information about the dirt on the cleaning device's rag.

[0083] In summary, the base station cloth cleaning control method proposed in this application, when the base station detects a request from a cleaning device returning to the base station, first obtains the cloth soiling information of the cleaning device, and then pre-configures a first cloth cleaning strategy based on the cloth soiling information. This avoids pre-configuring the first cloth cleaning strategy only after the cleaning device arrives at the base station, saving cleaning time. When the cleaning device is detected returning to the base station within a preset time, the base station provides a second cloth cleaning strategy based on the pre-configured first cloth cleaning strategy to clean the cloth. At this time, the second cloth cleaning strategy is the actual cleaning strategy, and at least one of the second water output, second cleaning duration, and second cleaning intensity in the second cloth cleaning strategy is not less than at least one of the corresponding first water output, first cleaning duration, and first cleaning intensity to ensure sufficient cleaning effect. When the cleaning device is not detected returning to the base station within the preset time, the base station deletes the pre-configured first cloth cleaning strategy to release base station resources and prepare for the next pre-configuration of the first cloth cleaning strategy.
